From
H. tiling nt Manila, it would appear
tiivt Auuinaldo must presently pre j
to do the ' last stand act that
in popular with the lenders of a
.t cause, says the Spokesman-Review.
At last accounts the insur
gents weie fleeing toward Malo'os
here Aguinaldo his his strongest
force )eiph:ips to protect his pre
t ii.ut hide and a bailie in thut vi
iuiiy may be looked for before long.
Ii is the evident policy of Hie Amer-
icniis to press the fighting vigorously
from this on in Older to end the re
volution before the hot and rainy
jwasim is at its height and hence all
Mil)le speed will doubtless be made
in chasing the 1'ilipinps to their lair.
Perhaps the best thing that could
mmr lipien would be an early battle
at Malolos, the defeat there of the
Filipinos and the capture of Agui
naldo. The w ily leader of the in
digents, however, ma' elude cap
ture, but his taking would mean more
lb nt. several victorious engagements
Co the American aims. With Agui
n ildo secure the revolutionary party
would disintegrate. It has not ap
peared that the cabinet with which
Auinaldo has surrounded himself is
a strong one. so aggressive or so able
as himself. While he has shown him
e!f a scoundrel and c. bribe taker, a
"soldier of fortune" and an adven
Xuier, it can not be denied thut he is
puesscl of mental attainments far
above the ordinary. The natives
Jiave rallied about him rather than
bout the party of which he Is the
.head. With him out of the way the
backbone of the revolution would be
jrone. The natives would surrender
to the superior force, go back to the
reservation, as it were, and ngree to
be "good Indians." Aguinaldo,
. however, must be captured or chased
-out of the country; captured prefer
: ably. To accomplish that end will
require great strategy, for the insur
gent resident and commanding gen
eral has shown himself fond of fight
ing in the open. When Malolos is
taken the chances are he w ill be ab
int, but be should be pursued with
utmost diligence. Until he is re
moved, peace in the Philippines is
Jhardly jirebable.
'GERMANY AND THE V. S.
All fair minded rersons can np
preciaic the feelings of the Chicago
itraian-Americans who have met in
xass-meeting and ptotested against
efforts made by the thoughtless or
the designing to engender bad feel
ing betweeu the United States and
Germany. The declaration gent forth
frofo that meeting hat not exagger
xU4 tire part which men of German
binh and origin have played in the
development of this nation. The
".crman peoplo are a great race.
Their men are brave and their
women virtuous. .Science, art, music,
fibilosopliy and literature have been
tremendously enriched by them. We
have no belter citizenship in this
country than that presented by our
tlerman neighbors.
Cut there is no call to carry this
piiivance into political organization,
nd if the leaders of the Chicago
movement are prudent, they will
'.op with their recent declaration.
Americans of native birth have no
liking for race movements of a re
taliatory or recriminating nature.
They are not pleased with the pros
jToct of organized bodies of adopted
Oern.ans making political und social
warfare on other bodies of adopted
Knglishmen and Canadian!".
It should bo remembered that the
.crruan press has been the chief if
fender in the snwill work of trying
to excite a bitter feeling between
the two countries. For the most
part it was outspoken in expressions
of sympathy for Spain and condem
nation of America. We know now
that these violent and sometimes
brutal outbreaks reflected neither the
sentiment of the German govern-
ror the German people, but
was a time when tins waj not
to clear. It is a pity tuc Uueago
meeting neglected to call the unti
American press of Germany to ac
count.
It is time to drop the matter.
Cordial relations exist between
man-Auicricans. The converse is the
case; there is very general and deep-
j d affection and respect for tins
admirable element of American citi
zensbip.
THE MOST FAMOUS BATTLE-SMI
On March 19, 1898, the United
States battle-ship Oregon left San
Francisco for her long run eastward
around South America. The per
formance was watched by tho whole
people, the chance of attack by the
Spanish fleet, whose whereabouts at
sea were unknown, giving the long
voyage a sensational aspect, ine
Oregon reached the Florida coast
May 24th. Though she had run 14,
000 knots she was reported ready for
duty and at once steamed to her
place In the Cuban fleet. Foity days
later ehe took a leading part in the
battle with Cervera's ship. It was
her speed and heavy guns that pic
vented tho escape of the Colon,
which had outstripped the other
Spanish vessels. If tho Colon had
run the gauntlet successfully the vic
tory would have been seriously in
complete and tho war prolonged, for
it was the utter obliteration of their
fquadron that completed tho dis
couragement and disgust of the
Spanish people.
On March 18, 1899, just one year,
less a day, after her departure from
Sau Francisco, tho Oregon steamed
into the bay of Manila and Dewey
cabled that she was fit for any duty.
Again she had steamed around South
America, and, in addition, bad
crossed the Pacific. Tho voyage of
20,000 knots fiom New York to
Manila was not a race against time,
but was completed between October
12th and March 18lh. The spend of
the Oregon is no less remaikable
than her mechanical perfection. A
year ago she ran the 4070 knots
between San Francisco and Callao in
fifteen and a half days, an avecpge of
203 knots a day. The final run of
over 5000 knots from Honolulu to
Manila was made in twenty-six days.
No battle-ship in existence has a
record approaching this. The Ore
gon was built by American me
chanics in San Francisco, which less
than sixty years ago was a foreign
village of 500 inhabitants. Half a
century of American expansion there
has produced a splendid metropolis
and one capable of constructing tho
greatest battle ship in all history.
From the army recruiting stations
all over the country cornea the report
of an eagerness to enlist, especially
on the part of the former volunteers.
The large majority of recruits desire
to join regiments which are at Ma
nilaor 'have been ordered thither.
Foreign service, with Its discomforts,
risks and promise of activity in the
field, is attractive, while home duty,
with its relative ease and and immu
nity from danger, is distasteful; and
there is n pronounced desire to evade
it. This proves that the martial
spirit still prevails among the youth
of the country. While the array re
organization bill was before the sen
ate, it will bo remembered, there was
a prolonged debate as so whether the
provisions of tho bill gave the presi
dent tho power of conscription. This
rush of recruits is in evidence that
the time used in debating this ques
tion was wasted, since it shows that
conscription is afar off, if, indeed, un
der any circumstances it will ever
again become necessary. Oregonian.

It is estimated that $00,000,000
will be required per year to maintain
an army of 10,000 men in the Philip
pines. This amount of money could
bo saved from the pension payments
without denying deserving old
soldiers of a dollar of their pension
money.
Tho United States paid Spain 2o,
000,000 for acknowledging ehe was

There could not bo greater generosity
on the part of a conquering aud all
powerful nation.
So many persons are sending their
pictures to Admiral Dewey that the
photographic supply dealers have
advanced the prices of their goods.
This will be welcome news to the
gallant old admiral.
ELECTRIC RAILWAY TO MT- HOOD
Kuiniir that Ccmauy will Build Una
From Hood Ktver to Cloud Cap Inn.
Every visitor to Cloud Cap Inn, on
Alt. Hood, is wont to pass the remark,
"Oh, if only the dusty ride betweeu
Hood River and the iun could be avoided
what an advantage it would be." al
though, we venture to say that not one
who has ever made the trip would hesi
tate to traverse the same road, with its
disadvantages, for the grandeur of view
and the pleasure which awaits them
when the goal is reached.
If reports are true this difficulty will
In tho near furture be obviated, and a
company will put in a electrical railway
between Hood River and Mt. Hood. It
seems almost too good to he true, so we
"tell the tale as 'twas told to us,"
not daring to vouch for its truth. It
would seem more likely were it to be
built from Portland to the mountain, as
the travel would be more liable to justi
fy such a move, although there are many
passengers over . the stage route every
day during the summer.
The great drawback to Oregon scenery
has always been our lack of facilities to
bring tourists in proximity with our
snow-capped peaks and othiT features of
its grandeur. While distance often
"lends enchantment to the view," 'tis
not so with these high monarchs, for the
nearer we net to the mountains the more
wonderful and awe-Inspriring do they
become.
It is to be hoped that the rumor of
electric railways, cog wheel railways,
etc., will so,n be reality, and that visi
tors to our state can stand above the
clouds and realize how insignificant is
every other view they have had com
pared with that obtained In Oregon.
lie a Little Cautions.
For tho benefit of any Dalles young
people who may indulge in the pastime
of holding hands, we publish the follow
ing, c mtained in a Philadelphia dispatch,
which may prevent any serious results
in our city : It says:
"Miss Edith Boone, of this city, has
begun a suit for flo.OOO damages against
Frederick R. Farrow, a young drug
clerk, for squeezing her hands so violent
ly that the small bones In one of them
were broken and both hands were
rendered practically useless. Her doctor
says necrosis may necessitate tho ampu
tation of one hand.
"The squeezing was done a year ago,
when Farrow had a situation in the
store tinder where Miss Boone's family
lived, and where he took his meals. Of
the singular case the fair plaintilT said :
"'Jnst after dinner, March 18, 189S,
Fred seized both my hands and jokingly
began to sqnet ze them. It hint terribly,
aud I asked him to let go, but he would
not. He pressed rny hands very hard
for five minutes. I cried and bepged
him to stop. A few hours afterward my
right wrist swelled awfully and turned
purple. I was treatc I at the polytechnic
hospital, but both of my hands are use
less, as you see. They are vetting woiso
too.'
" 'I was only in fun,' said Farrow in
explanation.- 'My cae Is In the hands
of a lawyer.' "

LET THEM SEE THE ENTIRE CITY

The committee ou arrangements for
the entertainment of the National Edi
torial Association, which met Tuesday
night in Portland, recommended to
the secretary of the association that
the excursion reach The Dalles on the
morning of July 3rd and make the trip
down the rivsr to Portland by boat.
It is very likely that Secretary Page
will act on the recommendation given,
and report at once. Af soon as word is
received Irom him, the committee in
The Dalles will immediately arrange for
their entertainment. As they will prob
ably remain here two hours at least, it
is thought best to provide breakfast for
them, aud at the same time see that
they have an opportunity to view the
city beyond the limits of First street.
Fatal would bo the result to our town
we-e they compelled to ga.s on the
beauty of that street alone, with its
massive buildings, well-kept lawns, and
the boulevards leading in every direc
tion. True, it would be a rare privilege
to obtain a view of China as here repre
sented, or to gaze upon lhj awful
grandeur of the ruins on the river bank,
comprising all there is left of the one
famous can of salmon ; bottles nhichln
their palmy dnys contained some of the
most healing balm ; raro bits of china ;
valuable documents in fact, curios of
all kinds. But at the same time to give
them a comprehensive idea of the city,
they should lu taken to some of the
benches in tho background.
To this end it has bten suggcMcl that
the residents be called upon to lend
tlie;r assbtnnce by turning out with
their horses ar.d biigvfes, carriage, carts,
harlts. wheelbarrows, etc., Mid by so
doing eviry visitor csn bn driven
through the city and to the hills beyond,
where the best view of the mountains
and river can be obtained. Such was
the plan adopted by the people of Love
land, Colo., and one which made a
lasting impression on their guests.

Among the more popular materials

lamb, buck, doe and dog skir.s. The kids
are specially reared for the use of their
hides. They are nil kept in pens, and
thus are prevented from injuring th'.'ir
skins against hedges, palings or rocks.
They are fed ocly with milk, so as to
preserve the quality of the hide, which
becomes very delicate, ar.d, naturally,
more valuable. At one time Senator
Mackay, of Nevada, conceived the idea
of buying up all the goats in the world,
so as to obtain a monopoly of kid leath
er, but the scheme did not flourish.
Following closely upon this was a plan
projected by several French capitalists
to catch all the rats in Chicago and es
tablish a preserve which would supply
the French glove-makers with rat skins
to be converted into "kid" gloves.

"Tonnage" and "Displacement."
At the present time, when naval mat
ters are a source of great interest to
the general public, ore continually
finds the terms "displacement" and
"tonnage" improperly used, both In the
daily press and in common speech. The
confusion between the terms would not
occur if their meaning were understood.
"Displacement" refers to the quantity
of liquid displaced by the immersed
hull of the ship, and "tonnage" to the
freight-carrying capacity of the ship
determined by certain rules of measure
ment. The displacement of a vessel is the
entire weight of the hull with all its
contents, according to the well-known
law of hydrostatics that a floating body
displaces a weight of fluid just eqtml to
its own weight. A ship sinks in the
water to such level that the pressure
of the fluid displaced exactly counter
balances the weight of the ship. -Engineering
