FACTS WITHOUT COMMENT.
Fob the year 1896 the appropriation
for the navy was (in round numbers)
$27,000,000.
' tlx 1898, the year of the Spanish war,
it was $58,000,000.
Last year it was $55,100,000. 1
This year the bill as reported to the
house calls for $77,00,000, with authori
zation for additional naval construction
which, included in the bill, as it should
be, would swell tbe total to nearly H00,
00,000. The entire ordinary expenditures of
the government twelve years ago were
less than $300,000,000.
CHRISTIAN SOLDIERY. '
A wave of fear and horror preceded
the advent of the allies in China to sucli
an extent that in many of the villages
people committed suicide to save them
selves from their Christian conquerors.
Soldiers were so busy looting that tbey
did not attempt to bury the bodies un
til finally the fear of disease compelled
them.
Mr. Wihiard, an American sojourn
ing in China, has made the futile at
tempt to describe the cowardly devilish-
ness that characterized the German pu
itive expeditions led bv Count Von
Waldersee, in which the Fiench and
British took part.
They have been nothing but expedi
tions for murder and brigandage. Cities
have been entered without resistance.
and whose people, by orders of Li Hung
Chang, had received the foreign troops
hospitably, feeding them and furnithing
all needed supplies. Such cities have
been systematically looted and every
Chinese murdered who dared to resist
the breaking of his doors and theft of
t.is property. '
One of these forays visited the citV of
Tuliu, which was entered without firing
a shot and found to be already in pos
session ol a British non-com missioned
officer and two privates. The troops
looted and burned the town.
When another large city was entered
without resistance by order of Earl LI
the troops were fed. There was no Chi
nese military forte near. The Inhabit-
ants were non-combatants and unarmed,
Incapable of resistance. The day the
allied forces took possession the streets
teemed with people and the daily life
and business flowed normally. The
n xt day shops were closed and the
streets were deserted, except by German
trench and Italian soldiers,, wheeling
carta loaded with stolen property. The
city was systematically looted. The
narrator says: "Now and then a
woman's piercing scream broke from
the mullling depths of aclusterof houses
and spent its echoes in tho empty
Btieets." "
All who resisted robbery wore killed,
and exen the Sikhs and Sepoys sickened
of the mere butchery of unarmed men
while they were begging for mercy.
White ciyilian looters now to almost
alone thioughout North China and de
mand money and lake property from
the terrified people. One of these en
terprising persons started in with no
capital but a mule cart and has rohheil
until he is rich. He had only to enter a
villag j and announce hat he wa a
"high, top-side English war man" to
easily rob the town.
It Is reported that an attache of the
American legation is in posessitnof over
$700,000 in money and valuables stolen
from the house of l.u Sen, the unfortu
nate Chinese nobleman who was exe
cuted by order of the Empress Dowager
because he was opposed to the Boxer
uprising against foreigners. His family
has been outraged and oppressed, and
finally robbed of all they had, by the
very people in whose behalf he lost his
life. Tho missionaries will hardlv ex-
pect that family to build many Christian
churches.
M'.1.$V(?7UV LETTER.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Feb, 15, 1901.
By standing together in their .opposL
lion to the ship subsidy bill, the demo,
cratic and populist senators have forced
the republicans to change their tactics.
They began the tight last week by blus
tering and bragging about how easy
they would tire out the opposition by
night sessions. After holding two niuht
sessums, at neither of which a republi
can quorum whs maintained, they aban
doned the night sessions, and are now-
seeking to cajole the opposition into
agreeing to set a time for voting on the
bill. hile it is impossible to sav with
any degree of certainty wht the result
or this change of tactics will be, Senator
Jones, who is leading the opposition.
says the bill will not be voted upon ,t
this session, end thftt if the republicans
' :
are determined to pass it, they must do
so at an extra session of the next con
gress. ,
Mr. McKinley is pulling for an extra
session, provided, of course, that a valid
excuse can be put forward for calling
one, and the republican leaders in the
senate are pulling to avoid an extra
session, by leaving no valid excuse for
one. An amendment has already been
offered to the army appropriation bill,
by Senator Spooner, giving Mr. McKin
ley authority to establish a civil govern
ment in the Philippines, and one is now
being prepaied setting forth the condi
tions that Cuba mnst comply with to
get the U. S. troops withdrawn.
Three of Mr. McKinley's nominations
to be brigadier-generals, Wood, Bell
and Grant may be held up permanent
ly. All the other nominations for gen
erals, including that of Miles, to be
lieutenant general, have been favorably
reported to the senate and will at once
be confirmed, but the committee on
military affairs, after several members
had expressed the opinion that these
three officers had not seen sufficient
service to entitle them to promotion
over many older and more' experienced
officers, decided to delay action upon
the nominations until a further inves
tigation could be made of their military
records. Wood was promoted over
more than five hundred officers and Bell
over more than one . thousand, while
Fred Grant, although he is now serning
in the Philippines as as a brigadier gen
eral of volunteers, is regarded as practi
cally a civilian.
Senator Bacon tells an amusing and
instructive story of the methods of le
islation in the Mexican congress meth
ods which the republicans have to an ex
tent already introduced in one branch
of our congress. Speaking of his visit
to the lower house of the Mexican con
gress, Senator Bacon said : "I went
there day after day and never saw a
member rise and address the Chair. Bill
after bill was passed without a vote in
the negative and without a word of dis
cussion. I became very much interested
in this state of affairs, and not being
able to speak Spanish, I inquired of a
gentleman at the door who spoke Eng
lish, to explain the situation to me.
'Oh,' he replied, 'there is no need for
any debate. These bills are sent to us
by the president and he tells us that he
wants them passed. When he lets us
know that he is in favor of the bills, we
are all in favor of them, too.' "
A proposition to make Cuba pay the
expenses incurred by this country dur
ing the war with Spain, has been put
forward by Representative Levy, of
New York, but probably with more de
sire to fuddle the situation than to seri
ously push the idea of trying to make
Cuba pay our war expenses.
LOCAL COMMENT.
Imagine what a rattling there would
be among the dry bones and wet
stomach. s should Mrs. Carrie Nation
visit Oregon City, and begin the work of
demolislMuent with her little hatchet.
Phillip Koob would look on with dismay
at the improvements he has made;
Matthias would take refuge in Buech's
cellar ; Wallace Cole would complain of
the wanton destruction of valuable
property, while Ohailey Kelly would get
out in the middle of the street,' and
make a free silver Fpeech ; Charles Nob
litt would take the first car for Port
land, and Johnny Kelly would take ref
uge in Albright's cold ttorage. God
only knows what the rest of them
would do,
Homer Davenpoit is now visiting his
old ho, ne at Silve. ton, and many stories
are being rehearsed of his early attempts
to become an artist in Portland. Befort
Davenport atieinpted to draw the siove,
he was living in East Portland, whih
the wiiler was doing editorial work on
the Vindicator, an organ of the East
Portland Water Company. Davenport
was apparently an easygoing sort of lol
low, and was often seeu wandering ahou.
the streets ill an aimless sort ol way
One Saturday afternoon the writer went
to Long Bench, and on the boat was a
widow who kepi a lodging house aojoiii'
ing the printing office, and she volun
teered the information tnat her daugh
ter, another young lady and Davenport
were camped at the beach, and exiemied
an earnest invitation lo dine with them
while there. However, when the 11
waco dock was reached, it was learned
that the landlady of the lodging house
had a 100-pound basket of supplementary
provisions lor the Long Beach camp,
which the writer tugged up the incline
to the waiting cars. The following day
was spent at the camp. McGuire, presi
dent of the EaBt Portland Water Com
pany, also owned another paper on the
West Side, which he de-tired to illustrate,
Davenport asked for some work, and
McGuire tequested him to sketch t ie
writer to see what he could do. I think
he did some work for this paper.
Two or three individuals have
said some very scabby things about the
paper mal employes during the past
week, ou account ol the projected plan
to establish a c i-operative meat market.
Remarks have been made that thev did
not pay their bills ; that they did not
work regularly. Such talk is libelous.

the mill hands own their homes and pay
their bills promptly; they are among
