The Ma li id press urges Spain to give up. The appropriation committee has beeu called to meet Nov. -0 to frame a bill tor the maintenance ot the army and navy. Funeral of Archbishop Gross takes place at Baltimore. Troops will begin to move to Cuba In tendaxs. The evacuation agreement is signed and the work of disarming the Cubans has commenced. There Is trouble China and Thibet. brewing between Spain is in desperate straights and to make an appearance of keeping faith with her creditors she is fighting inch by inch in the peace conference at Paris. If she can make the showing to her creditors that she fought to the bitter end the losing of her colonies and their revenues, she nisy still stand in the finan cial world eyen if she does practically re pudiate all her colonial debts. Thecus- toms of her colonies have all been Dledaed for loans and when these colo nies are lost the loans undoubtedly will go w ith them. Her creditors will not only loose their security but their money, as Spain bas no other means to raise it. She will, to all intents and purposes re pudiate these debts after the conclusion of peace. These are the principal rea sons why Spain is making the fight she does. She knows perfectly well that she was totally unable to hold any of these colonies and can never establish herself in them again even if the United States should drop out of the contest. With a horde of debts weighing her down so that the can scarcely stagger, sbe must put up a bold front and fight for her colonies or face the world of finance as courting repudition. The United States will take the Philippines even if the pro test of Spain goes to the length of break ing off negotiations. In this event she would passively allow the United States to take possession of the islands and offer no armed resistance. The last note by the American commissioners was in the form of an ultimatom and the proba bilities are that Spain will accept although violently protesting. Under this offer the United States gives Spain 120,000.000 for the betterments made in the islands. Timbkr land sales are beginning to take place in large tracts and it will not be long before the timber lands ot the northwest will be sought after as eagerly as those of the upper Mississippi valley. This timber is one of the greatest re sources that Oregon has, and will bring a mint of money to this country in the next few years. Portland ranks fourth in the exporta tion of wheat for ISM among the ports ot the United States. Gen.

Saturday November 19. The British ship Atlunta is wrecked at Alsea, Oregon with the loss of twenty four men. from ffi would commend to the Courier the letter in this issue from Mr. Stern as to the condition of the laborers in Eng land. America furniehes no such exam ple. ThetarifTnow prevents competition witn this class of labor. If American labor is compelled to compete with this labor then American workmen mil have to take the same pay as European labor. An indication of better times is the in creased real estate transactions, and they have been steadily increasing in this county for sometime. While what we publish this week is two weeks transac tions, still the aggregate each week indi cates a willingness to invest money in this manner that will grow from now on. The Courier is objecting becaose we did not import more goods last vear. Hot only did we import less than the preceeding year but it would be better still if we imported nothing that could ha ma, la hprfl at a reasonable price. We are working under a tariff law that en courages the work in the country and not one that allows American labor to compete with the pauper laber ofEtr rope. The Courier does not tell you that this country made more goods and sold them than ever in its history before. Not only a larger proportion of what we need but more for the foreigner. The exports laBt year were the greatest in th hintt rv of the country. The balance of trade was the heaviest ever known That is the balance left after taking what we bought from what we sold was larger than in any previous year. Tiis balance of trade is taken by all sta'isticians and political economists as an indication of prosperity and the larger the balance is in favor of a country the more prosper ous that country is regarded. The sys tem endorsed by our esteemed "other papsr published at Oregon City" is unique. Foreigners ask for Americans at Iloilo, P. help the In the case taken to the supreme court from Multnomah county trying to have the raise of 20 per cent on town lots 25 per cent in merchandise by the state board set aside, the court bold the raise legal. Spain will be forced to terms and a time limit probably set by America to accept the terms laid down or continue the war. Dr. Gteenleaf thinks that there was much bungling at Santiago and no proper regulations made for the sick or supplies furnished them. Dewey will save three of the ships that he sunk on the let ot last May at Manila. There are briyands plying their trade in Porto Rico and anarchy to a great ex tent reign in that island consequent to the eatabli-hina of a new government. Sunday November 20.

" It was W infield Scott Bchley w ho said this when be was commander ol the New York and stood on the forward bridge of bis ship outward bound from one of the ports of the A tlantio sea board. Ten minutes before a badly frightened man had run up to him, call ing out: "Captain, the forward port magazine is on fire I" "Then shut your mouth, " said the captain. The man, thus recalled to bis senses, touched his cap ana relapsed into silence, while his commander quietly ordered a firo drill and a mo ment later commanded the flooding of the magazine. Both orders, a part of the daily routine on every American warship, were promptly carried out, but it was not until all danger was past that the officers and men obtained knowledge of the true state of affairs. When they did find ont, they realized that their captain had been standing all the time just over the magazine, and one of the officers begged him to come down from the bridgo and lot him take his place. It was then that the captain made, the remark quoted above, Brook' lyn Eagle. The Elephant u a Worker. In the Siamese Malay states there are probably about 1,000 domesticated ele phants all told, and in the Lao country probably over 2,500 animals are work ing at tho present moment. That these animals breed in captivity in Siam is due to the fact that a large number of them spend tho greater part of their time holiday making in tho jungle.

Counsel for the defense had pleaded with snch earnest and pathetic elo quence on behalf of his client, who stood charged with pocket picking, that tho audience was moved to tears, and the prisoner himself was rubbing his eyos with a silk handkerchief.

It is said that something bordering on the miraculous has lately happened at Ticktou, a village in Yorkshira A farmer bought what ho thought was a drinking trough for his cattle, which did very well for all his stock but one, and this wus a cow that never would drink from it This causing somo incon venience, tho farmer mentioned it, un til the fact came to tho ears of a local antiquary, who on examination pro nounced the supposed trough to be a font, and further research showed that it had once stood in tho villago church.

Many Lombard street goldsmiths and bankers ; disease of the delicate oriranism of her sex had lent out the monoy intrusted to Death's Betrothal. A few yrars go a Nrw York newspaper conducted an open discUHninn upon the topic: "Is Marruife a Failure?" The answer is easy and upon the surface. Where there is mutual love and respect, if there is also lieiilth, miirriiiKe is a succrss. When health is left out, even the moil ardent love dois not count, and marriage is invariably a failure. Modern science has cried the warning so often that all should realize the dangers of wedlock to people in ill hralth. In a cae of this kind death lurks mi every side in the kiss of betrothal and the caress of the honeymoon. The man who is sulTerlng from ill health is a physical bankrupt, and has no right to condemn a woman to be his nurse for life and the mother of babes that inherit his physical weakness.
