Chii'auo, March 13. The well-known
economist and financier, Erastua Wy
niau, w ho is viaiting here, talks serious
ly ol war between England and the
United States, as an outcome of the
Uehring sea complication. He said
today, 'ran interview.
kTlie Entfliah government is ender
tremendoua praaure from Canada,
wWh is i l the mood to insiat that the
Cinad'....i sealers he protex-ted and given
dp. ul rights with the Americans on the
high seas. Besides, the coming contest
in England makes it incumbent that a
diversion of of some kind be created to
secure a Tory success at the polls. It ia
not improbable a vigoious foreign policy
will cam trouble during the coming
"uininer, in which the peace of the
world may bo threatened. Active hos
tilities are doubtful, but many a war has
sprung from less serious cause. The
threat of retaliation in the shape -of the
abolition of the bonding privilege,
which allows goods destined to Canada
tu pass through the United States with
out duties and vice yerea, would be a
two-edged weapon, far more hurtful to
the cities of the United States than to
Camilla. II thiB retaliatory measure is
carried out , Canada, after suffering the
terrible oxclusion implied by the McKin
ley bill, will only solidify her adhesion
to her British connections and strengthen
her determination to keep independent
of the United States.
C00ST OF APPEALS.
Soma Important Oaaei Pertaining to Oregoa
Iatereita are Decided.
San Francisco, March 10 The United
States circuit court of appeals upheld the
United States district court of Oregon j
in two of its decisions today. One was
the case of Edwin Morton et al., vs.
Matiiias Jensen et al. Plaintiffs asserted
that the defendants had infringed his
patents for putting a can head onto
automatically filled cans. The machine
comprised about forty patents, all of
which Morton claimed had been in
fringed by Jensen and his friends.
United States District Judge Peady held
that the patents had doen infringed, and
gave judgement for the plaintifls. The
court of appeals upheld the decision on
all piinciiinl points. Two of minor
patents were held to be not original.
The master in chancery in Portland will
assess the damages. Thia decision will
cll'i'ct all canneries on the Columbia
river. In the case of the United States
vs. the California and Oregon Land
company, the court dismissed the
appeal of the United States. Judge
llnnford dissented. The original com
plaint asked that patents issued to the
Oregon Central Military Road company
be set aside, us the latter had not
carried out the contract. The road had
not been built.
Portland City Hall.
Portland, March 10 The city hall,
commission have decided to discharge
the old plan for a building and adopt a
new one. The old foundation, on which
about $46,000 have been spent, will be
torn away and a new building entirely
put in its place.

Th. Important MUrt to Coma Before the

Wahiiinuton, March 13 The pro
gramme for lltia week in the bonne will
be the continuation of the tariff dia
encxion. In all probability, Mondny
will be devoted to the biminena of Ihe
l;Htrii't of Columbia, Hand the tariff will
occupy the rent of the week, tifileaa Fri
day Mhould be devoted to the private
calendar. It ia probable that executive
enions on the lifhring uta and oilier
matters will occupy the tiHie of the
aonato during moat of the week. In
the number of billa paused over to the
hoUHe for action. Many of them, it is
true, are private relief billa, but some
are of importance, and are sure to pro
voke a uiacuasion when brought up.
The house has sent the senate nothing
but one or two appropriation billa, which
have either been disposed of or are
ready for disposition. Mr. Veat's bill to
authorize by general law the construc
tion of a public building for a pout office
in every town where the receipts juatitv
it, is the pending unfinished business in
the senate.

Ei t
CincA'io, March 11. Ifenry Wattrtr
son, is an authorized interview today,
virtually called uiion Cleveland to with
draw from the presidential race. Wat
terson said the nomination of the ex
president would lie suicidal for the dem
ocratic party. Hill, too, be believed
had dog his own political grave in New
York, and be regards the conflict aa
practically irreconcilable. The party,
he says, must come west lor a candidate,
or seek him in Massachusetts, Pennsyl
vania or Maryland. In practically call
ing upon Cleveland to withdraw, Wat
terson ra'ber scored that gentleman.
Mr. Watteraon said : " I never indulge
very much in hero woranip, and any
good democrat -whom tlie national con
vention may see fit to nominate will
suit me. If I had to put a man in the
While House, he would be Mr. Carlisle.
I regard him the best equipped demo
crat in public life. He was a leading
democratic tariff battler in congress
when Cleveland was mayor of Buffalo.
After Carlisle, anybody will suit if be
does not come from New York. I ob
ject to a New Yorker because the fac
tions there have made the nomination
of any New Yorker impossible. J am
most sincerely Cleveland's triend, but
I contest the notion that he is our sole,
our only, our most original Moses in
the matter of tariff reform. He is aa
good a tariff reformer aa any body, but
but no better than half a dozen others
who have equal claim with him to public
confidence. I take it for granted that
he will in due time withdraw his name."
Being asked whom he thought were
available candidates, Watterson men
tioned, besides Carlisle, Palmer, Boi-e,
Russell. Patterson and Gorman. In
act, said be, the woods is full of availa
ble candidates.
