Big Itailroad Tru.it.
Cleveland, May 9. The Leader will
say tomorrow :
"According to a high official of the
Vanderbilt lines in this city, the details
of a big railroad trust, which is to in
clude all the lines between.Boston and
Chicago, are now being worked out and
the consolidation may be completed
within the next few weeks. The recent
purchase of short lines in-New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illi
nois was in line with the plans of the
consolidation which has been in contem
plation. It is not the purpose to have
all the lines under one management ex
actly, but to apportion them among the
Pennsylvania company, the Vanderbilt
interests and the Baltimore and Ohio
company, when it shall have, been rec
ognized, giving to each system the lines
that it can use to the best adantage."
Chinese Not Barrett.
Washington. May 10. Acting Secre
tary of War Meiklejohn said today that
the Chinese exclusion act did not apply
to our insular possessions. Some three
weeks ago an order was issued extending
the laws and regulations governing im
migration to the United States to the
territory under military control, and col
lectors of customs were directed to en
force them pending the establishment
of regular immigration stations. By
some this order was interpreted to mean
the exclusion of Chinese from Porto
Rico, Cuba and the Philippines. This
is a mistake. Mr. Meikeljohn says that
the order only extended the regular im
migration laws, not the Chinese exclu
sion act, and that there was no inten
tion for the present of making the latter
act applicable to our insular possessions.
Assassinated by Rebels.
Manila, May 12 Dumarais, a French

Who is to Blame-
Kidney troublo has become so preva
lent that it is not uncommon for a child
to be born affected with weak kidneys.
If the child urinates too often, if the
urino scalds the flesh, or if, when the
child reaches an age when it should be
able to control the passage, and it is yet
affected with bed-wetting, depend upon
it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney
trouble, and the first step should be to
wards the treatment of these important
organs. This unpleasant trouble Is due
to a diseased condition of the kidneys
and bladder and not to a habit as most
people suppose.
If the adult has rheumatism ; pain or
dull ache in the back ; if the water
passes in irregular quantities ; or at ir
regular intervals or has a bad odor ; if i
stains the linen or vessel the color of
rust ; if the feet swell ; if there are puffy
or dark circles under the eyes ; your kid
neys are the cause and need doctoring,
Treatment of some diseases may be de
1 ayed without danger, not so with kid
ney disease.

COMMENTARIES.
Matters Concerning Local Every
day Affairs Noticed by the
Courier-Herald Reporter.
The bicycle path to Portland will be
a thing of reality before many weeks,
and hundreds of wheelmen will take in
falls' breezes and scenery..
Benton county wheelmen are releas
ing the taxes paid in by bicylists to the
county, so that the money will not be
tied up and not available for paths,
should the tax be contested.
' V "
It is to be regretted that property
owners so bitterly opposed street and
street improvements. It will have a
tendency to keep intending Investors
away. One citizen prophecies that soon
cows and chickens will soon be pastur
ing on the public streets, Indians will
be camped in the public squares, and
pedestrians will have to take the center
on upper Seventh street, as bicyclists
will have the right of way on the side
walks. Already lead men's bones are
being dug up in the loose dirt of regu-
arly laid-out streets.
It is very doubtful after all .if Oregon
City will be supplied with pure moun
tain water from the Clackamas river.
A recent survey has demonstrated the
impracticability of obtaining a supply
from that source for a reasonable figure
by gravity. It is likely that Oregon
City will have to look for a water supply
elsewhere.
It begins to look as though the Oregon
Volunteers were doomed to remain in ac
tive service until the close of the wa'.
But it is to devoutedly hoped that the
Filipino war will end soon.
The prospect for Interior connections
to different . points in the county is
brightening. The ultimate Buccess of
these enterprises means much for Ore
gon City and Clackamas county, but one
thing is gospel truth. A market must
be provided for the products that are
brought here, or the trade will go else
where.

San Fernando Attached.
Manila, May 11 10:40 A. M Fili
pino General Mascardo's army, inspired
by wine taken from the storehouses of
Bacolor and by the general's oratory on
Monday evening, attacked San Fernan
do. There was tremendous yelling and
great expenditure of cartridges by the
rebels, but very little result. General
Mascardo holds the outskirts of Bacolor
west of the railroad. In front of his po
sition are the Kansas and Montana regi
ments, which occupy trenches that the
Filipinos built in anticipation of an at
tack from the sea.
During the afternoon of Monday Gen
eral Miscardo, with a Urge retinue of
officers, rode along the Hoes, frequently
stopping to harangue his warriois. At
dusk a detachment of rebels rushed
toward the outposts of the Montana
regiment, but were met by a hot fire
from the line. Insurgents from the
trenches nearly three miles long re
spended. After an hour's righting, dur
ing which one private soldier of the
Montana regiment was wounded, the in
surgents subsided.
Prisoners who were brought into the
American lines said that Mascardo dis
tributed barrels of wine among his sol
diers, telling them to expect to capture
the city of San Fernando.
General Luna is massing his army
east of the railway, bringing up troops
by trainloads in sight of the American
lines. The country between San Fer
nando and Caluinpit is filling up with
natives, who profess great friendship
toward the Americans, but who are sus
pected of being in sympathy with the
insurgents.

Where Rolls the Oregon.
How many of our readers have made
the trip from Portland to The Dalles by
river? For the benefit of those who
have not we will 'give a brief descrip
tion : ,
1 On last Wednesday morning at 7 a. m.
the Dales City carried your reporter
from the foot of Oak street, down the
Willamette to the broad Columbia.
At Vancouver a company of colored
troops were boarding the Undine en I
route for Wardner to shoot down strikers-.
The Dalles City must be in sym
pathy wiih the miners, as she poked her
nose, with a crash, through the r'bs of
the Undine, but doing no serious dam
age. . From here we plowed eastward and
about 11 o'clock the grand old mount
ains loomed above us in all their sub
lime grandure. The Cascades of the
Columbia present the most sublime ex
hibitions of nature. The river here is
rapid; its banks are high and often'
rocky and precipitous. The rugged sides
of the Cascade range rise higher and
higher, seeming to close up again the
rock bound passage they have been
forced to yieid. Vast ledges and col
umns of bare basaltic rock detached by
some mighty force, rise hundreds of feet
with perpendicular walls above - our
heads. . Mountain walls of adamantine
rock, roasted, seamed Hud blackened by
volcanic fires, narrow the turbulent riv
er. Surmounting these tar above upon
successive terraces by the hundred and
thousand feet up to the very Bummit,
5,000 feet, rise high basaltic castles,
cathedrals, domes and towers, which
dwarf to comparative insignificance all
of the creations or conceptions of man.
The Cascade locks are alone worth a
trip up the river they are simply grand.
Begun in 1877 and opened to the public
in 1896, at a cost of three and a half
million dollars. Only one (the lower)
chamber is used at the present stage of
water, which in 11 minutes raised our
boat 24 feet. The Dalles City was the
first boat that ever went up through the
lo-'ks. She is under command of Capt.
S. V. Short, who took her on her first
trip in Sept., 1891. The Dalles City and
Regulator are owned principally by Ci ti
zens ofJThe Dalles, and deserve the pa
tronage of the traveling public. Boats
leave foot of Oak street dock, Portland,
at 7 a. m., and The Dalles at 8 a. m ,
daily. The fare is $1 50, and excellent
meals are served for 25 cents. ' -
We reached The Dalles at 6 p. m., un
der a bright blue sky and the wind
blowing great guns up the river. We
were somewhat sheltered from the fury
of the gale as we were grouped on the
forward deck. As the boat Bwung

miles southeast of The Dalles, which we
drove, and not a speck of mud, the
roads as hard as the pavement on Main

dust is 2 or 3 inches deep. The weather
is pleasant and the farmers are busy
ploughing. One team on Rock creek,
in. Gilliam county, has already plowed
seven hundred acres since the first of
March a seven plow gang and thirteen
horses.
A great deal of alfalfa is raised here
where they can irrigate and I am told

fair average. Good yearling! sell like

Manila, May 114:10 P. M. The
