12 THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY .3, 1900. CARTUREDCAKNONCOMING SPAJTISir FIELD FIEGEJ OS ITS "WAY TO OREGON. Will Furnish 3Ictal for jrednlis and .Serve ok a Trophy IXeMiue Vol unteer Encampment. Oregon is at last assured one of the captured cannon fnora Manila, barring ac cidents in shipment. A very high official in the Eighth army corps has written General Summers that a hronze field piece surrendered In Manila at the time the city capituialed, August 13, 1S98, was shipped on the Rio Janeiro October 21 last, for San Francisco, plainly marked for the Second Oregon Volunteers, Portland, Or. The gun was sent in care cf Colonel Oscar F. Long, of the department of California, -who will doubtless soon communicate the fact of its arrival. It is mounted, the carriage being newly painted, and bears the date of 1776, besides various other marks peculiar to the old Spanish guns. The officer anting to General Summer, makes an excellent suggestion as to how sufficient metal for the lequlred number of medals may be obtained without de stroying the cannon. The plan is to bore it out until the present caliber of 3& inches Is enlarged to 4& Inches, which SPAXISK CAXXOX FOR process, he states, will yield 119 pounds of bronze. That would leave the gun a veiy desirable memento to be placed in some public spot, the most suitable suggested so far being at the foot of the monument to tha flead soldiers. General Summers says ithtft this Is the plan that will likely be fottow-ed. The cannon itself would be a strong attraction anywnere, and doubly so at the foot of a monument to the sol diers who took part in the engagement that resulted in its capture. The letter written, by tne chief ordnance officer of the Eighth army corps to the adjutant-general of the corps, designating this particular field piece as appropriate for the Oregon regiment, is as follows: "Referring to cablegram from adjutant general of the United States army, to select lor shipment to the Second Oregon volunteers, for the purpose of making badges for that regiment, one bronze gun captured at the taking of Manila, I have the honor to state that among the guns captured at the capitulation at Manila, In which the Second Oregon regiment par ticipated, is a bronze field piece, 3& inches caliber, which weighs 770 pounds. "Following an old Spanish custom of giv ing names to their uns, this has been natned "Leal, which appears on a scroll near the muzzle, and it happens also that it was cast in 177C, both of which facts make it especially appropriate to be se lected for the purpose intended. I recom mend it to be the one chosen for the Ore gon regiment. J. wreuld suggest in this con h8Btk"aMUf the' gdn be" not broken up, but that the present bore of 3 inches be enlarged to 4 inches, which would give 119 pounds of borings for the proposed medals, leaving the gun practically as it is at present. It could then be used on the Fourth of July and other patriotic occasions for firing salutes with reduced charges, of course, of say from six to e.ght ounces. In fact, it would be nothing more than a Howitzer. My Grand Army badge weighs 41S grains. By making a simple calculation, it can readily be seen how many medals of this size the 119 pounds of borings can turn out. If medals enough to exhaust this amount of metal are not required, the size of the boring may be reduoed. "The distinctive marks on this gun are as follows: On the body, near the vent, is the Spanish -crown above the royal cipher, "Charles IV; on the chase, near the muz zle, in a scroll, as the gun's name, 'Leal; en the base is the date it was cast, Oc tober 31, 1776; on the right trunnion is the weight of the piece, 770 pounds; on the left trunnion is the number, 4SG. The car riage Is1 in lair state -of preservation, and can he painted and repaired here before shipment. "The gun land carnage were shipped care of Colonel Long, at San Francisco, direct ed to the Second Oregon regiment. You will probably not need more than 1100 med als, and if so, will not have to bore so much out of the gun unless you desire a heavier medal than that of the G. A. R. The gun started from here October 21, by the Rio Janeiro, carriage nicely painted, end plainly marked. It was wrapped in gunny sacks, to prevent damage during shipment." If no unforeseen mishap occurs, the vol unteers should very soon be in possession of this field piece. General Summers has corresponded with the authorities in San Francisco in regard to the matter, and will receive an answer .shortly. As sqon as it is learned that the gun has arrived there, arrangements will be made for Its ship ment to Portland at once. After it reaches this city the plans respecting medals and future preservation of the piece will be discussed more fully- It is likely that the volunteers will arrive at some agreement regarding the matter at their state con vention to be held in the Armory tomor row evening. The design for the medal. Its size and ether particulars concerning it are topics that have not yet been consid ered. In the communication to General Sum mers from the officer notifying him of the shipment, there are several friendly private utterances that convey the sentiment of those engaged in quelling the Filipino insurrection. Among them are the follow ing: "I think the jig is attout up. The Fili pinos were only waiting to hear from the elections in the United States. Well, they have heard. They may hold on until con- gress meets, and if they only hear the right sort of news from that body then I am of onlon that the roost will be i acated." VOLUNTEERS' E CAMP3IEXT. General Hnle Tcllk of Movement to Hld One in Colorado. General Summers is In receipt of a cir cular from General Irving Hale, president of the Colorado Society, Army of the Phil ippines, that is of particular Interest to all volunteers., as welLas residents of the state. The members of the First Colo rado volunteers have already organized a veteran association, and are now direct ing every energy to have a large encamp ment held there next year of representa tives from all the regiments participating In the work of the Eighth army corps. From the steps taken by the Colorado men it would Feem that an Eighth army corps as sociation is being organized. This would include most of the country west of the Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona being the only etates or territories not represented b olunteer commands In the islands To nenompepse Sfor 4hese, the Eighth army cotvb cwganfeaion ceuld claim a portion at least of Pennsylvania and Tennessee. General Hale's- -circular is as follows: Colorado Society. Army of the Philippines, Headquarters, State Capitol, Denver, Colo., Dec 21. 1SS0. To the Organizations of the Eighth Army Corps: For the purpose or perpetuating the Tics of friendship between the IndUIduals .and organizations of the Eighth army corps, "honoring the memories of those who gac their lles for the flag, and preserving the history and relics of the memorable campaign in the Philippine islands, the Colorado Society, Army of the Philippines, has been organised, and sends greetings to all the military subdivisions of the Eighth corps, suggesting the formation of amllar societies in the arlous states and In the Philippine Islands, and extending a cordial imitation to attend a reunion at Denier in the summer of 1900. when a general organization can be effected. It Is believed that this city, being nearest tie center of the district from which the greatest part of the army of the Philippines came, Is the most con-.enlent and appropriate place for this meeting; while the delightful summer cli mate and magnlfcent scenery of Colorado will contribute greatly to the pleasures of the re union. We hope that you will confer ae promptly and generally as possible with the members of jour organization in regard to this moement, and give us your earnest co-operation and "v lews as to the most convenient and suitable time for holding the reunion. Very cordially y ours. IRVING HALE, President. FRANK C. NOBLE. Secretary. HENRY X.IPPINCOTT, CHARLES H. ANDERSON, CHARLES B. LEWIS, Committee. General Summers, replied to this that he was glad to see organizing work progress ing in Colorado, but thought the first en campment was due Oregon. This state's regiment was among the very first in the THE SECOND OREGOX. field, was one of the first two embarking for the Philippines, took a very important part In the work there, and was the first returned home from the islands. Of course, California will have nearly equal claims with Oregon In this respect, hut the volunteers are hopeful that the position of this state will be recognized neverthe less. To secure the first encampment of such an association would require effort on the part of Oregon, and assurances that the affair would be made a big event. General Summers will endeavor to Interest citizens In the matter, so that Portland may make a bona-fide fight RAN INTO A DITCH. Hose Cart Overturned en Route to a Fire. A tannery fire down on Macadam road late last evening came near resulting in a serious accident to hose No. 2, of the fire department. Some contractors haVe been excavating for a sewer in the vicin ity of Hood and Montgomery streets, and left the trench- open, without any lights. As hose No. 2, with Driver Price, Fore manKerrigan and four extramen, plunged down the street, they were pitched head long Into the ditch. The hose wagon was overturned, breaking the pole, and caus ing other damage to a considerable extent. The horses wTere thrown into the ditch under the wreck, and bruised, but not badly crippled up. Driver Price picked himself up from the hottom of the ditch, where there was an abundance of mud, without sustaining other injuries than bruises on the legs. Foreman Kerrigan was also bruised more or less, but not seriously hurt, while the other members of the crew got off even more lightly. The firemen were driving fast at the time, and it was a marvel that none of them were fatally hurt in such a headlong plunge as they would take from the hose wagon thrown Into a deep trench. It is Chief Campbell's intention to make the contractors suffer the consequences of their negligence, as they had not taken the trouble to hang out a single light. There was no street light in the vicinity, so the firemen were helpless. Chief Camp bell expressed his determination to have the matter Investigated to place the re sponsibility on whoever is to blame for leaving the street in such a condition. The fire was in the tannery of John Arnold, 1354 Macadam street. The entire building was not destroyed, although the interior seemed to be completely gutted. What the loss Is or how the fire originat ed could not be learned last evening. i 3 SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS MONEY Xcarly 2?5G,000 Came Into Cleric Al len's Hands School Notes. School Clerk Allen's feet were set upon a rock, and he wa3 made very happy yesterday by receiving from the county treasurer the sum of 555,819 50, being school district No. l's apportionment of the school fund arising from the 5-mlll tax. The school board's note for $15,000, borrowed to pay December salaries, was paid, and no bank now holds & cent's worth of their paper, and all the district owes is $130,000 bonded indebtedness. All bills due up to December 31 will be paid at once, and. teachers' salaries for January, which will be due on the 13th, will be paid on time, and every one connected with the school department enters on the duties of the new year with a light heart and a clear conscience. The public schools rcoponed yesterday, after 10 days' holiday vacation, with the usual attendance. City Superintendent Rlgler expresses himself as pleased with the work that Is being done, and says that the year, measured by results, prom ises to be one of the most successful in the history of the schools. The new South Portland school will be mustered into service before long. A staff of three instructors will be sufficient to run this school for the present, and as a principal has already been chosen, and one of the teachers can be spared from the Failing for this school, and possibly an other from the Harrison school, there is likely to be no necessity for the election of any new teachers. All the night schools of the city were rcoponed last evening, after the holiday vacation. The attendance was very good for a date so soon after a week's festivi ties. The schools wih be open from now continuously until they close for the term next summer. 9 0 l In Memory of Harry Anderson. General Summers post, No." 1, Second Oregon, of Albina, at Its last meeting, adopted a suitable expression In memory of Harry Anderson, of the Second Ore gon, who recently died at the home of his parents, East Ninth street Commander North, of this post, has delivered to Mr. and Mrs. E. Anderson this expression from the post, and it was very gratefully received by them. It Is pleasing to them and to all the members of the family that he was held in so high esteem by his com rades, and they will not soon forget the many kindly expressions of sympathy that have been coming to them. It is ex pected that all the posts in the city either have adopted or will adopt similar reso lutions. a o t TO CURB LA GRIPPE IN TWO DAYS Take LaxatUeBromo Quinine Tablets.

County Clerk's Deputies Take 115' Annies. One hundred and fifteen voters were reg istered yesterday, F. A. Bancroft being the first person to register. The deputies appointed by Clerk of xne County Court H. H. Holmes to attend to this work are David Steel and A. Bancroft. Mr. Holmes is also giving the matter his personal guid ance and assistance. The registration law requires naturalized citizens and those who have declared their intentions of be coming citizens to make legal proof of the fact when they call to register. The clerk is somewhat puzzled as to how he shall treat persons who are citi zens by virtue of the naturalization or citizenship of their father; that is, if he shall require proof of the fact. The following section of the United States revised statute applies to such cases: "The children of persons who have been duly naturalized under any law of the United States, or who, previous to the passing of any law on the subject by the government of the United States may have become citizens of any one of the states, being under the age of 21 years at the time of the naturalization of their parents, shall. If dwelling in the United., States, be considered as citizens thereof, and the children of persons who now are or have been citizens of the United States shall, though born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, be con sidered as citizens thereof." The registration "law is silent upon the subject, except that it contains a clause, a portion of which is as follows: "The qualifications of the applicant shall be determined by the registrar. If he finds him qualified, the name shall be entered," The constitution of the United States also makes citizens of persons, as follows: "All children heretofore born or .here after born out of the limits of the juris diction of the United States, whose 'fath ers were or may ba at the time of their birth citizens thereof, are declared to bo citizens of the United States." These the registration law also does not refer to. unless they come under the class of native born. Clerk Holmes will obtain an opinion from the judges of the state circuit court on the subject. Judge Sears yesterday stated that he was of the opinion that the clerk was entitled to use his judgment, and that legal nroof, such as might be required in a court, was not necessary in these cases. All appli cants are sworn by the clerk. a o & LEAGUE DELEGATES ELECTED Important Business Meeting of Third , Ward Republican Club. The Third Ward Republican Club met last night, in S. C.

A new and rather old swindle was at tempted In Portland yesterday by a couple of men, which terminated in the speedy capture of one, named W. E. Bolter, by the police. The men were impersonating United States meat inspectors, and by means of the authority claimed from their official position, tried to cajole two butch ers Into paying them small sums of money. The fraud was qluckly detected, as the two men either so poorly under stood the business that butchers suspect ed them, or else their corrupt propos.tlons excited suspicion. Both entered a small butcher shop in the northern part of the city. Bolter took up a knife, cut into a quarter of beef, .melled it carefully, and pronounced it all right. He proceeded to another piece and repeated the test, but concluded this was Impure, and told the proprietor that it would be necessary to throw the quar ter away. The butcher evincing neither assent or opposition,. Bolter said he thought he could fix the matter up so the meat would not have to be lost entirely. Still the butcher did not bite by coming forward with an offer to remunerate him for his proposed kindness. Bolter scrib bled off something on a paper in a very official and Important manner, and then finally asked the butcher it he would not loan him ?2, as there were some telecrame td be sent. The butcher toid ilm he had no 32 for him, and Bolter and his com panion left the shop. Bolter was followed at a distance until a police officer was encountered, when he was placed under ar rest. At the police station he informed Chief McLauchlan that the whole affair was a joke. Soon afterward news came from Albina that a joke 6l like nature, ana equally futile, had been played by two men over there. The chief concluded the jokes were- entirely too frequent to be funny, and turned Bolter over to the United States authorities, who will prose cute him for impersonating a United States meat Inspector. He is a brake man or switchmon by trade, and formerly worked for the O. R. & N. His com panion has not yet been found. Q ii PERSONAL MENTION, Dr. A. W. Giesy, of Salem, Is at the Im perial. E. C.

Oisr Great Annyal Clearance Sale Has They meet In our store you do oof To look for bargains- Our stoclCs own MAY POOL THEIR DEBTS. Plan to Wipe Out Indebtedness of . Methodist Churches. The Methodist ministers of the city, to gether with many of the lay members, held a unique and Interesting meeting at Cen tenary Methodist church yesterday. It pertained to the 20th-century 520,000,000 of fering for the year, and the matter of sweeping away the debts of all Portland Methodist churches dur.ng the present year. Much enthusiasm prevailed in the discussions. In the forenoon the audience listened to an able and appropriate ser mon by Rev. H. D. Atchison, pastor of Grace church. In the afternoon -the most important meeting was held, with Rev. George W. Gue in charge. Rev. S. A. Starr, D. D., pastor of the Sunnyslde Methodist church, read a paper and made an earnest talk on the necessity of getting all the members of the churches to work. He declared that only a very small frac tion of the members were helping the pastors, and said that the great problem was to get the remainder to work. Rev. H. W. Kellogg followed in a short talk, in which he said that Taylon-street church would soon stand forth without a dollor af indebtedness, for the first time In 12 years. Among other things he called attention to the peculiar position that hi3 church occupied as compared to others in the city. He said that owing to the shift ing most of the members lived well out, and to attend was a sacrifice, and that Hey ctiuld go to other churches easier than to to Taylor-street church. All the other churches but the Episcopal and Taylor-street, had gone back from the busi ness centers, and soon Taylor-street would be left alone. He spoke for concert and co-operation. Dr. Gue then presented the debt ques tion, and said that the time had come wlien the entire debt on Portland Metho dist 'churches should be wiped out. He said, that to do this it would be necessary to raise 543,000, but he did not regard that as an Impossible task If the churches would take hold. He advocated pooling the various debts in one sum, and then in a grand, sweeping campaign pay It all off, and have done with It for all time. He said that this movement had been started in California and in cities in the East, and chufcli debts were everywhere beng wiped out. He then called for expression on the subject. There was a general dis cussion of the amtter. Dr. J. J. Walter suggested the payment of one-tenth of in comes as one means. He believed that .debts would quickly disappear under that method. John Naugle also spoke long and earnestly for this method. Dr. L. E. Rockwell also spoke on the subject, In which he said that church debts were a serious burden, and he should heartily co operate with the movement to lift them. Rev. C. E. Cline spoke along the same line. In order to get the matter before the meeting in tangible form he moved that Dr. Gue, Dr, Rockwell and Dr. Wal ter be made a committee to formulate a plan of procedure, which was carried. Dr. Gue made another Igorous talk In favor of pooling and paying off the debts of the city churches. He said that an ap peal should be made to the public, as well as to the membership, in that direction. After further discussion the meeting ad journed to lunch, which had been provided by the women of Centenary church, in the basement. In the evening a large meeting was held in the auditorium, where future plans were further discussed, from which there will result general activity along financial and other lines in the Portland Methodist churches. DROVE HIS BEAVERS AWAY How a Trapper "Was Robbed of a Good .Thing'. "Coon skins are a poor substitute for beaver skins, but a man has to take what ho can get," said old Carl Carlson Sat urday, as he threw down a bundle of about 100 coon skins on the floor in a fur dealer's store. Carlson is a Russian Finn, who owns 160 acres of land on the lower Columbia, which he Improves at odd spells. He fishes for salmon in the sea son, and used to make money catching sturgeon and steelhead salmon In the Winter, when the condition of the water would allow, but sturgeon and steelhead are scarce now, and the river has been too high for fishing of late. On such oc- 'caslons Carlson amuses himself by trap ping tor a lew wceKs, and every winter for years past he has brought to market from 20 to SO beaver skins, sometimes more. He knew of a great swamp made by a long beaver dam on a small stream away back in the hills, some 10 miles from his claim. No one else ever trapped there, and there were a number of beaver houses and families in this swamp, from which he used to take .toll at his leisure every winter. About a month ago he started out to reap his annual harvest of fur and beaver tails, which are a great delicacy. To his surprise and disgust, ho found, on reach ing the swamp, that the beaver dam had been cut and a channel made through it, which had completely drained the swamp and a long-legged Scandinavian had lo cated a claim of 160 acres on the swamp, all the finest kind of beaver dam land, and was then engaged in clearing it of brush. He was no trapper, and had seen nothing of the beavers which had inhab ited the swamp, and although Carlson prospected the -stream for miles, and oth er streams In that section, he found no trace of his fur-bearing flock. Finally he returned to the swamp, and finding that there were many old hollow ME ER opeoed with a rush appreciate good values your eyes at are so arranged that you cao hem at leisure comparisons of qualities and values, FRANK EVERY iE HOUSE REDUC OUR SPECIALTY FURS, CLOAKS AND SUITS THE SILVERFIELD FUR MANUFACTURING CO.

Mnnngrer Cordray Succeeds In Get tins Her lor Short Engagement. With his usual enterprise In securing the kind of attractions that are popular with his patrons, Manager Cordray yes terday completed arrangements for a brief engagement of the Nance O'Neil company In the early part of February, before they leave to play an extended engagement In Australia. James H. Love, representing McKee Rankin, who directs Miss O'Nell's tour, arrived in Portland yesterday on his way to Vancouver, B. C, from whenco he will sail for Australia to arrange for the O'Nell engagement there. Mr. Cor dray had been In correspondence with him for some time, and after a conference yes terday, Mr. Love agreed to cancel several dates in Utah in order that the company could come to Portland. The arrangement was particularly gratifying to Mr. Cor dray, as his patrons have been clamoring for another chance to see Mls3 O'Neil before she sailed across the Pacific. Miss O'Nell Is now supported by Clay Clement, well known In Portland, and re garded as one of the best actors in the country. She has also with her Barton Hill and the other fine actors and actresses which were in her company during her engagement here the first of the season. Her great production is -Macbeth, with Edgar S. Kelly's now famous musical ac companiment This has been pronounced her crowning triumph, and has drawn tre mendous houses everywhere. She will also Play Ibsen's masterpiece, "Hedda Gab bler," which she recently produced for the first time In Salt t popular "East Lynne." The engagement will be for four nights and a matinee. ii n WILL POSH FOR EXHIBIT. Chamber of, Commerce and Board of Trade In Harmony. A committee consisting of W. H.

Mr. Batchelder presided, and it was free ly admitted that the matter had been al ready too long delayed- The men rep resenting the new Board of Trade were particularly enthusiastic, and in favor of pushing the project right through to com pletion. A plan of action was outlined by which the joint committee was dvlded Into sub committees of two for soliciting the re mainder of the funds needed to install the exhibit and keep it running one year. About 51200 is needed to supplement what has been already subscribed. The canvass for funds will be renewed at once, and the committeemen feel con fident of raising the necessary amount be fore the close of the present week.
