The "vrar with Spain liad the fCect of
hastening the as ork on the coast defenses,
and now, 10 years after the work began in
earnest, the Chief Engineer Is able lo re-J
port that SO per -cent of the defense xrorjlz
Is complete. Twenty-five of the princi

& -sufficient number of. heavy guns and
mortars In place to offer an eflecthe de

3)roject3 contemplate the mounting -ox
abouf 450 guns for sea coast defense, of
ESO rapid-fire .guns and about 903 mortjsrfc,
&t an approximate total cost of '$50,000,000.
Tip to the present ilme provision has been
made for Hie .emplacement of 209 .heavy
guns, 368 rapid-lire guns, and 272 mor
tars. The armament placed during the
war -In temporary -emplacements will be
transferred ji time to permanent workij,
but J-he temporary wprk will be held in
reserve for an emergency.
Attention is invited to the urgent need!
for an Increase in the srtiUery arm of
the service, which is now too small to
take care of sthe oostly and complex de
fense works. During the past year nego
tiations have been in progress for the ac
quisition of fortification sites in Boston
Harbor Xtwo sites), "Nawaganselt Bay
(two), jvjw Tork ERrbor (extension oil
Fort "Wadsworth). Port Royal. S. C. San

ing to legal difficulties. The most lmpor-J
tant siies -are those at Boston and one in
ICew Tork Harbor, rend.er.ed necessary
by the construction of the proposed deep
water entrance.
The report grlves .a concise statement oj
the $ror accomplished -at each defensive
point during the past year. The tgtal of J
the stunatos sjibrnittea on account of tot
tiflcations for the next year is 15,715,000,
and of -this amount $4,719,000 is on account

Mij. Lyon's VieTvs On Subject.
The following discussion of" the place
of the Oregon negro loty in the pfleSent
campaign, has been written by Private
Secretary Walter tyon of the1, 'Gover
nor's office, for the DalJ..Lead"er,a' pa-,
per published" at LexingtonHy.:
"Mr. Bryan's reputation for condor arid
fairness, if not for honesty,-5 has suffered
in Orec6n through his Insinuation "that
negroes in this state 'nave no more politi
cal rights than' in South Carolina.
, "Mr. "Bryan" has enjoyed wthe hospitality
of many Oregon'hom'es He' has been in
the state four different times on his
speechmaklng toufs; Conditions are well
known to him. Negroes with swallow
tailed coats have served him at hotels.
The courteous colored brother has made
his bertb, shtned hi? shoes and taken his
ftps' on Pullman palace .cars on the way
to and from "Oregon. He has seen ne
groes come and go In this state, and cerr
talnly with full knowledge that they have
the same rights, .privileges and protec
tion a other citizens.
"True, there is an obsolete section in
Oregon's constitution, adopted in 1S58. pro
hibiting the coming of negroes into this
qtate. This, I am. informed, was .never
enforced, nor was there an attempt to
enforce it even before the adoption of.
tjte 15th amendment to the Federal Con
stitution. v
""I have talked with a venerable smCm-
'ber of the constltutlonarconventlon. From
him I learn that the worst known about
the negro.by members of that convention
was that the 'negro' question was agl-
' tatlng the Eastern States. They thought
to secure immunity for Oregon from tne.
troublesome question by inserting, in
the constitution a clause against negroes
coming into the stafe Tills clause,"
thougn never repealed,"" has always oeeri
practically a dead letter. A proposal to
repeal i was "'submitted to the voters
last June. Pour" other proposed amend
ments were voted on at the same timet
'Objections to some of the other amend-
tlment, together with the' knowledge that')
TnPTiTs; HTin imt? ijij-w Kii-eiruuii-aivuc: ov-
tine rights or negroes were in no ise
abridged thereby, prevailed, and, like
every proposal to 'meddle' with the con
stitutionall were oted do'wn', repeal of
the 'negro' clause going down with .the
bunch. " "
,, MIn hi? effort to make a living issue
of -a 'dead letter' in Oregon's constitu
tion. Mr. Bryan is guilty of mlsreprBsen-
'tatidnln rioF stating-all the-facts at ids
command. He cannot "honestly claim .to
believe negroes have no more .political
rights in Oregon that negroes in1 South
Carolina. If they "havS not, his party
should certainly assumepthe responsibil
ity. The Legislating to which was s?ub
mitted the 15th amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution, being Democratic, re
jected the amendment by an mer,wei-Jmlng'-maSority.
But notwithstanding what
yn remocratic Legislature did or what
Brj'nn says, negroes" have all the rights,
privileges and protection in Oregon that
other citizens have."
