THE BLACK PRINCE'S ARMY.
The lrt EnglUh nt Cvr Awm
Ll.d Took tha Sold lor to franes.
Mr. W. O. Stoddurd's serial, "With
the Illuck Prince," givea in St. Nicho
las an aecouut of the splendid army
that Mi'.'oiiipiiiiied the prince to the bat
tle of Crecy. Mr. Stoddard suys:
It wus the largest Englixh fleet yet
assembled, and the army going on
board was also the best with which any
Lnglish king had ever put to sea. It
toiinlxted of picked men only. Of those,
4,000 were men at arms, 8,000 were
lrit.li, 12,000 were Welsh, but the most
carefully trained and disciplined part
of the force consisted of 10,000 bow
men. During a whole year bad Edward
and his son and his generals toiled to
Meet and prepure thu men and the weap
ons with which they were to meet the
highly fumed chivalry of the continent.
An army selected from a nation of per
haps 4,000,000 of jieople was to contend
with an army collecU-d from Franoe
with her 20,000,000, and from such al
lies of hers as Germany and Bohemia,
re-enforced by large unmix rs of paid
mercenaries. Among these lutter were
tho cronisbowmcu of Genoa sold to Phil
ip by the musters of thut Italian oli
garchy. Edward's adventure bud a seeming
of great rashness, for already it was re
ported tlist the French king had mus
tered 100,000 men. Full many a gal
lant cavalier in armor of proof may
well have wondered to bear, moreover,
that Edward III, accounted the fore
most general of his time, proposed to
meet superior numbers of the best
lances of Europe with lightly armored
man on foot They knew not yet of the
now era that was dawning upon the
science of war. Edward and his bow
men were to teach the world more than
cue new lesson before that memorable
campaign was over. Before this be
bad shown what deeds might be wrought
npon the sea by ships prepared and
manned and led by himself. He had so
crippled the naval power of bis ene
mies that there was now no hostile fleet
strong enough to prevent bis present
undertaking, although Philip had man
aged to send out some score of cruisers
to do whatever harm they could.

and I went up thinking to get some
points about mining. I asked him in
an offhand way whether he had struck
any pay dirt yet, and be turned around
and glared at me and said, 'Yonng fel
ler, what do yon think I am digging
this for?' I told him I thought he was
digging for gold. Ho glared at ma
again and said : 'Gold nothing. I'm do
ing this for fun. I've been living here
for four years, and there's one thing
that my curiosity has never been satis

FOUJt LIVES LOST
Five Men In a Ilout Swept Over
Willamette Fall.
Only One Mm to Tell the Sad Ktory
Two Hemes Made Ik-solute by the
Awful Accident.
Lest Tuesday morning about 8 o'clock
the citizens of Oregon City were terribly
shocked by the sad news that a boat
containing five men had been swept over
the Willamette Falls, and a few minutes
later It was learned that four of the un
fortunate men were lost, the sole sur
vivor, Harry Freeman, having clung to
the boat and miraculously escaped.
The dead are :
George Freeman, Sr., aged 50.
George Freeman, Jr., aged 20.
James Freemsn, aged 18.
I-eon I das J. Shannon, aged 30.
The five men were residents of Cane
uiah, and were crossing the river to their
work in the paper mills as usual.
Starting about 15 minutes before 7
o'clock, with Harry and James Freeman
at the oars, they rowed along the custom
ary course, pulling for the west bank of
the river, but owing to a dense fog be
es me bewildered when about midway of
the stream and, while trying to get their
bearings, were borne swiftly down the
current, being among the breakers be
fore they realized their awful danger.
The appalling truth flashed suddenly
upon them and superhuman eflorts were
put torth to change the course of the
little craft and escape what seemed
must be inevitable death, but no human
power could stop them, and, as the boat
was carried with increased velocity to
the very brink of the W-'.b, the younger
George Freemsn exclaimed, "Its all off, j
boys. Hang to the boat!"
No other words were spoken but each
man acted upon the advice and clung for
life to the boat, which plunged madly,
yet ssfely, over the first breakwater and
sped on, stern first, to the second falls.
Before that point was reached, bow
ever, the boat lurched violently, then
turned bottom npward and dashed into
the seething gulf below.
In that awful moment three of the
men were washed away and when the
boat again appeared in the eddying
waters below, the two brothers, George
and Harry Freeman, were clinging to
the bow and stern respectively, but the
former was nearly unconscious and aa
they were swung around in the boiling
torrent he sank from sight.
The boat drifted over near the Crown
mill to a little island where Harry Free
man, the sole survivor of the fatal voy
aite, managed to get a foothold and
turned his boat over, thinking there was
some one beneath it, but there was no
one there.
In response to his calls for help a
party rowed over from the mill and as
sisted him to the shore.
TWO OBIKP BTBlCKBif UOME8,
When the sad news was broken to
Mrs. Freeman, the widened mother was
nearly prostrated by the shock and
could hardly realise that three of her
dear ones, wbo had left a happy home
only two short hours before, had been
lost.
"Jimmy," the youngest of the paity,
had been speaking of a well earned holi
day which he expected to enjoy in the
near future, and George had turned back
to leave his watch with his mother, tell
ing het to keep it for him as he might
lose it.
George Freeman, Sr., waa born iu
Evesham, Worcestershire, England, and
was a nail maker by trade. He moved
to Canada in April 1889 and remained
till May, 1891, when he moved to Cane
mah where he has since resided, being
employed in the paper mill across the
river. He leaves a wife and six chil
dren, three of whom are grown and the
others being aged 1. 6 and 8 years.
There was also heart-rending grief at
the home of Leonidas J. Shannon when
the sad message was received. He
leaves a wife and four children. Mr.
Shannon was well known about the mills
and waa respected as a steady industri
ous mechanic.
The two families will be entitled to
insurance money, the elder Freeman
being a member of the United Artisans,
and Shannon belonging to the Ancient
Order of the United Workmen.
Search for the bodies has brought no
further results than the finding of a pair
of oarlocks recognized as belonging to
the ill-fated boat. It is understood that
the Workmen will offer a reward lor the
recovery of the body of Mr. Shannon, of
which order he was a member.
The appalling dissnter of Tuesday
morning adds another to the long list of
accidents which have occurred in and
about Oregon City during the past few
months.
Counterfeit Coupons.
The manufactures of Soda Mint Gum
have lately been imposed upon by the
issuance of printed counterfeit coupons
which may be seen in the window of
Huntley's drug store. The manufact
urers, who have their place of business
in Ohio, offer a prize of a gold watch to
any one wbo accumulates coupons suffi
cient when the initial letters are placed
consecutively, to form the sentence "Soda
Mint Gum." In a letter mailed and
dated In OregonC'ity to the manufacture
were the required number of coupons
with the proper sentence, but upon cloe
observation it was discovered that the
coupons enclosed were counterfeits, hav
ing boon printed on the same paper and
in the same type, tho headlines and ad
dress being set in what is known as the
k Vinne series and the body of the
matter corresponding very well with
that on the genuine coupon. By com
paring the genuine with the counterfeit
a difference in some f the letters can
easily be detected. The letter which ac
companied the Wus coupons is also on
exhibition but the name of the sender
is concealed. Would-be counterfeiters
might profit by this little experience.

By far the most dramatio royal assas
sination waa that of the Emperor Paul
of Russia on March 24, loOl, by his
nobles. As usual Paul had retired to
rost booted and spurred and in his regi
mentals. At the doad of night he was
nvrakened by an unusual noise. The
hussar who guarded his chamber door
the only faithful sentry, as it proved,
In the palace was being killed by nine
nobles. They burst into the room and
began to attack the emperor. Paul hid
behind ohairs and tables and begged for
his life. He offered to make each of his
assailants a prinoe. He offered to abdi
cate in vain. Then he made a wild dash
for the window, fearfully gashing him
self, but he was dragged back. He
seiaed a chair and for some time kept
the nine of them at buy, and only after
terrifio struggles was he seized and
strangled with his own su&h.

BECOMING SERIOUS
The Spanish .Minister's Attack
on the Adininlstralioii.
A Cri-ds lielneen the United Mutes an 4
Spain llellered to Be Near al
Hand Another Sackvllle.
Washington, Feb. 9. The publication
in the morning newspapers of what is
supposed to be an autograph letter writ
ten by Senor de Lome, the Spanish min
ister, to his friend, Caneljus, criticising
the president with the utmost treedom,
caused a sensation in Washinxtoa
and soon will be followed by Minis
ter de Lome's departure from the United
Stttes.
The report, as printed, was that repre
sentatives of the Cuban Junta gave out
copies of a letter signed Enrique Dupuy
de Lome, and addressed to Jose Cuneljas,
who went to Cuba last September as
Premier Sagasta's personal representa
tive. In his letter the Spanish minister
refers to Preoident McKinley as ''weak
and catering to the rabble," and as "a
low politician, who desires to stand well
with the jimcoes of his party "
Horatio L. Rubens, of the Cuhafc
junta, made this statement in New Yorki
''We know absolutely that this letter
is genuine. A man risked bis life to ob
tain it. We do not hesitate to acknowk
edge that it was stolen from Caneljas. It
is written on the paper of the legation.
The handwriting is de Lome's, and tha
signature is his. He msy deny it until
be is black in the face, but it is genuine;
and everybody wbo has seen the letter
knows that it is. The man who stole it
abstracted it from the envelope, and left
the latter. If he bad attempted to steal
the envelope he would' never have got
away with the letter."
Mr. Rubens was asked about the trans
lation, and if there was not some danger
that it was wrong. He replied :
"No, the translation was made by ar
man who thoroughly understands both
languages, and is as near correct as a
translation can be."
"Where is the letter now?" he waa
asked .
' That I decline to answer."
For Fnios la Oregoa.
Washington. Feb. 5. At aeon ferencar
of populist and silver republican mem
bers of the senate and house, the ques
tion ol an alliance among the several
silver parties in the West was considered.
Oregon was first taken up, as there is aa
election in that state in June. It waa
decided as the judgment of those present
that it would be well in Oregon for1 all
parties to unite on a democrat for senator,
a silver republican for governor, and twa
populists for representatives.

Recommended ly War Department
Washington, Feb. 4 The war de
partment has renewed the attention ol
congress to the need of additional mili
tary protection in Alaska, and in this
connection says:
"Information received at this depart
ment indicates the necessity of legisla
tion to provide effective means of con
trolling the disorderly element among a
large number of people now flocking to
Alaska and the prevention of persona
who are without adequate supply of
food aud clothing from entering tha
territory to perish during the sever
winters unices relieved by the govern
ment." Urgent recommendation is made for

force in line with the recommendations
of the president's message and secretary
