The Corvallis Times says: There is a
possibility, if not a probability that the
$18,000 of Agricultural College funds on

will be remembered that shortly after
the bank passed into the hands of a re
ceiver in order to secure the col lego
..lai.n n attanh mnnt w. nl,l nn tl.o
nronertv by Treasurer Shinlov. It now
develops that the attachment was irreg-1
ularly issued, and il so, the college will
be without any claim whatever to the
funds on deposit when the bank sus
pended.
The new cruiser Olympia, on her first

of tlie United States navy. Tho ship
mode a maximum speed of 21.20
knots, and averaged slightly under 21
knots on a run of 08 knots, with a heavy
sea and a strong head wind. As the
Olympia was only expected to make 20
knots, her builders are very happy over
the trial, and think that when the of
ficial government trinl is made she can
be forcod up to 22 knots. This would
give tho Union iron works a bonus of
$100,000 for exceeding tho spood re
quirement. At San Francisco in the case of the
UnitedStates vs. Frank L. Wilson Judge
Morrow of the District Court has granted
the motion of the defendant to quash
the indictment charging him with send
ing obscene matter through the mail.
Kxp-essions complained of were written
by Wilson at Lakeville to a friend in San
Francisco. Judge Morrow surprised the
United States Attorney and the postal
inspectors by his interpretation of the
statute governing such cases. He decid
ed that a personal letter, securely sealed,
containing obscenity is not indictable
even if it passes through the mails.
He interprets the law to refor
only to manifold, stvloernnh. nrinteil
copies or similar publications. Numer
ous courts have held that written letters
containing obscenity are included in the
meaning of the statute, and such canes
have been punished bv fine and impris
onment. District Attorney Garter an
nounces that he will appeal this case to
higher court
by the terms of the former agreement of fflrSf'IV" i,.tt?Ilr!!.J?S,r"

assembles they propose to keep it well
to the lront in connection with every
great issue between the parties from the
tariff to the repeal of the Federal elec
tion laws. Every stage of the tariff dis
cussion will be punctuated by pertinent
queries by the silver men tending to ;
prove that it was demonetization of sil
ver and not the McKinlev tariff which
caused the financial depression. Indeed, ;
it is intended that the silver men shall
act as a body of obstructionists, as did
the Parnellites in Parliament, till silver
shall receive a hearing.
Although Congress amended the Geary '
act so as to allow Chinese six months
more in which to register, it adjourned
without making an appropriation to ,
carry out the provisions of the act. The '
Chairman of the Committee on Appro
priations had cognizance of the necesity
of the Treasury Department's need of
money to carry out the law, and it is
probable that, if the urgency deficiency
bill had passed, a clause appropriating
enougn money at least to oegm opera-
tions would have been inserted in the
bill. As it is, registrations under the act
will not begin until the appropriation is
made. Meanwhile the Treasury Depart
ment will make all its preparations, and
so Boon as the money is available it will
be prepared to assign its officers so that
they can begin the work at once. The
bureau has assurances that an effort will
be made to get the bill through in the
earlv days of the session, so that the
work of registration will not be long de
ferred. It is said that all Chinese now
in the country, approximating 100,000,
can be registered in sixty days, if they
promptly take advantage of the oppor-
tunity- ,
The annual renort of L. Lowrie Bell. '
the Second Assistant Postmaster-Gen-
era!, shows that the total expenditure
ior mail transportation was f4a.5i)7.uu7.
and of this amount $5,758,818 was on
account of star routes and $25,720,005
on account of railway routes. The re-1
port shows that there are now in opera
tion : Star routes 18,856, mileage 259,
850; railroad routes 2,529, mileage 166,
962; messenger routes 7,295, mileage
20,030. The increase in the number of j
routes during the year was 989 and in
the length of routes 6,241 miles. The
increase in the annual rate of expendi
ture was $2,202,265. During the last'
fiscal year the railway postoffice cars .
were subjected to 403 train accidents,
most all of which resulted in loss of life
or serious injury. Ten clerks were killed,
66 seriously injured and 115 slightly in-
Inred. commenting upon the facts, Mr.
Jell Bays : " The department is permit
ted to care for the injured, but no au
thorized relief under the existing stat
utes can be extended to the people left
behind by the gallant fellows who go

to adopt some one of the proposed plans. 1
