The Norwegian steamship Skarpsno, the
first steamer of the new line which T. M.
Stevens & Co. are operating between
Portland and the Orient, cleared yester
day far Hon? Kong and way ports, with
a typical Portland Oriental cargo, every
Item on the manifest except three boxes
of bicycle sundries being of Oregon pro
duction. Flour, as usual, constituted the
talk of the cargo, there being 24,901 bar
rels aboard, valued at J6S.4&2. Of this
amount over X,M0 barrels were for Hong
Kong, and over 70W barrels for Yoko
hama. Something new in the way of ex
ports to the Orient appeared In a con
signment of 88 1kxs of apples for Hong
Kong, and there was also a shipment of
109 boxes for Vladlvostock by way of
Nagasaki. There were also 50 cases of
dried fruit and 24 cases of oanned fruit
and a box of butter for Hong Kong.
Mojl, the coaling port in Japan, was
down for a. consignment of 1250 barrels of
flour, and there were C25 barrels for trans
shipment at Kobe for Hakodate. Tho
steamer finished loading yesterday morn
ing and left down at noon. She Is coaled
and ready for sea, and will probably pass
on out to sea early this morning.

the Thyxa .loaded here. She Is a .modern
trallt steamer, with a carrying capacity
6f ever 0000 tons. In addition to her bunk
er coal. She- already has aboard cargo
tor China. Jftpan. Corea, Manila and Vla
dlvostock valued at nearly $100,000. The

CHICAGO,. Nov. 9. The board of trus
tees of the sanitary district has decided
to begin an active campaign for the pur
pose of securing a deep waterway to the
Mississippi. Colonel J. "W. Barlow anl
Major C. McD. Townsend, members of the
board of engineers whose duty It Is to
report to Congress regarding the advisa
bility of deepening the Illinois River, will
reach Chicago today and will take a trip
down the canal. Major J. H. Wlllard is
also a member of tho board. The trus.
tees ordered that a memorial prepared by
Sngineor Randolph be presented to the
board of engineers next week. In this
report the engineers are asked to recom
mend to Congress that the Illinois River
be dredged to a depth of 14 feet The
memorial says:
"The law makes Chicago turn over to
the United States Government Its entire
Investment, aggregaUng $34,269 244. upon
one condition, namely, that it shall Im
prove the Deiplaines and Illinois Rivers
for navigation, to connect with this
canal."
THE OLGA IS SAFE.
Torred Into San Francisco With
Only a Slight Leak.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 9. The Aus
trian steamer Olga, with a cargo of sugar
from Batavla, which want ashore on the
ocean beach near Golden Gate, during a
dense fog yesterday, was pulled off the
bdadli by tugs today and towed Into the
habor. The Olga had to Jettison about
1000 baskets of sugar befqre she could be
gotten off the boach. A small leakage
which the steamer's pumps are able to
keep free was the only damages the ves
sel sustained. She will dock tomorrow.
(The Olga will undoubtedly prove to be
one of the richest salvage finds hat the
San Francisco tugs have made for a long
tfme. She carried a full cargo of sugar,
valued at about J800.CV), and as the ves
sel Is worth at least $200,000, the tug
which saved her will have a good claim
on & "fortune.)

out and had evidently encountered severe
fitorms. The Flintshire sailed from here
ot September 88 last grain laden for
Queenstown, and her departure was made
notable by the fact that upon crossing
the bar she -suddenly ran into a terrlric
gale and was unable to land the pilot,
who was carried down the coast several
hundred miles. Before Captain Scott left
the Flintshire, however, she had had a
rough experience, part of the time being
on her beam ends and the cargo shifting.

BOOTS ARE OUT OF STILE.
Many Rlienmntlc Pnlns Charged to
Dlscnrdlne These Articles.
The constant change In styles of foot
year has made the once fashionable top
boot a very rare article, says the Detroit
Free Press. There was a time, not so
very many years ago, when the long boot
was regarded with high favor, not only
by worklngmcn, but by gallants that
wished to be well dressed. The man with
a pair of graceful calves took consider
able pains In those days to have his boots
carefully measured and he paid as much
attention to details In the making as he
did when leaving his order with his tailor.
Now the top boot Is seldom seen on the
city streets, and the little red-toppea
boots with the copper toes,, that used to
be a 'favorite remembrance of Santa
Claus, has apparently disappeared from
the dreams of boyhood.
As a matter of fact, there Is only one
concern In Detroit that still makes long
boots, and that Is not a lar?e manufac
tory. Tills establishment nils about 2U
oiders eaoh year for DetroIf and vicin
ity. The orders come principally from
farmers, lumbermen, sailors, laborers and
others exposed to inclement weather
"A well-known veteran doctor of Le

pair of hand-sewed, waterproof .-jp toots.
He said he had always worn tnem diir.ng

XLXi RATIONS REGARD SUBJECT AS
VERY IMPORTANT.
Extra Monctnry Considerations Are
Olterejl to Enconrase Men to
Become Expert Marksmen.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 7. One of the
loaumg papers in xne annual rcputim .c
jjuicmu ui &vii luiciiiboc, n. .,.
Navy Department, is that on target prac
tice and kindred- subjects, prepared by
Lieutenant-Commander Richard T. Mulli
gan, United States Navy, which Is In
part as follows:
"The value of properly conducted target
practice cannot be overestimated, and that
It Is a subject of continually Increasing
importance Is shown by the fact that all
naval powers are devoting more time and
money that Is, ammunition to the care
ful and systematic training of gun point
ers. Extra monetary Inducements are
offered to encourage men to become ex
pert marksmen. For instance, the British
Admiralty has decided to distribute an
nually 5200 In prizes for the encourage
ment of shooting with the various weap
ons used In the Royal Navy. This action
makes It clear, at least In so far as
England Is concerned, that the subject
PIONEER OF 1852.
Is regarded as one of supreme Import
ance. "The main object of target practice is to
train men to hit a target under conditions
approaching as nearly as practicable those
of real battle. They must be taught to
point their weapons quickly and accur
ately and fire without unnecessary delay.
This last Is most Important, for fire to be
efficient must be not only accurate but
rapid. A skillful gun captain Should also
be able to properly estimate the distance
by the eye.
"Tiip amount of ammunition that is to
be expended during each year has recent
ly been Increased, but reliable Information
as to tho number of rounds for each class
of gun does not appear to he forthcoming.
More time Is given to subcallber practice
than formerly.
The German press Is silent upon the
subject of their target practice, but that
they are keenly alive to its value and
necessity is apparent from the fact that in
this year's naval budget an appropriation
If 2,027.000 marks (about $482,326) has been
made for ammunition, target practice and
prizes. This Is an Increase of about $71,000
ovr the approprlatlo nof 1899 for the same
purpose. It Is reported that they are de
voting a great deal of time to sub
callber practice.
Small Arms.
"That the modern small-bore magazine
rifle, using smokeless powder, has not yet
passed the experimental stage Is shown
by the fact that Germany, France. Eng
land, Portugal, and Japan are either mak
ing or contemplating changes In their
service weapons. The recent Spanish
American and the present Boer Wars have
demonstrated the limit of Its effectiveness
and the necessity for a further increase in
its efficiency. The war now going on Is
uhe first serious conflict In which white
men have been opposed to one another
using muskets of such high power, and
the tactical and mechanical lessons which
are being drawn from It, in so far as re
lates to this subject alone, are of great
value.
"The new German Infantry rifle, which
Is being distributed, is of the same cali
ber and -uses the same ammunition as the
one now In general use and Is simply an
Improved Mauser.
"Japan Is substituting the new Arlsaka
rifle for the Murata, about 40,000 having
already been Issued to the "troops.
"France Is tp have a new rifle, a modi
fication of the Lcbel. The secret has been
well kept, and was only recently made
known through a discussion of the war
budget in the Chamber of Deputies. It
Is stated that the new arm will be Issued
within the next six months. No details
of Its construction are as yet available.
"It Is believed that since the commence
ment of hostilities In South Africa the
English Government has learned that a
great number of the British service rifles
(Lee-Metfords and Lee-Enficlds) are bad
ly sighted. It appears that 2"IO,O00 new
sights have been sent to the Cape to re
place those upon the arms actually In
use.
"At the Royal Norwegian School of
Gunnery, at Tarnlngmoen, Interesting ex
periments were recently made with snow
walls. In place of earthworks, as a pro
tection against small-arm" fire. Walls
were constructed of newly fallen snow,
which consequently does not pick, and
others of partlv meltea snow, which had
thus attained Its maximum density. The
firing was done at ranges of 50. 120, 2C0
and S38 meters, respectively. The results
of all the experiments were the same,
with onlv slight differences. Six and on
half millimeter projectiles perforated the
snow banks to a depth of from SO to 90
centimeters. In exceptional cases 86 to 9S
coatlraeters. There was little deforma
tion of the projectiles: the greatest was
noticeable In projectiles fired at the long
er ranges. In no case did a bullet pene
trate entirely through a snow -wall of L20
meters thickness.
"These results appear the more remark
able as the Norwegian army rifle has
shown surprising penetrative power. It
may be predicted that in case of a Win
ter campaign the eraplojinent of trenches
and walls built of snow would acquire
considerable Importance In northern
countries.
"It is safe to say that no one gun of
this nature bas demonstrated any marked
degree of efficiency over the rest "of "its
clftES.
"France prefers the Hotchklss type, and
a new model is now being issued. The
now arm, which consists In all of 30
pieces, easily taken apart and put to
gether again. Is formed of a single bar
rel in front of a receiver, the mechanism
of which is said to be very simple. The
cartridges are attached to a revolving
brass band, which works automatically,
each shot that is" fired bringing the next
one Into position. The gun Is provldea
with a butt, similar to that of an ordi
nary musket, which the pointer rests
against his shoulder. Its total weight,
without suDDorts. Is 53 pounds. Two
men anj requ,red to WOrk-the gun. one
to load and the other to point and firo
It. It is claimed that from 500 to 600
rounds per minute can be discharged.
"Particulars are gradually becoming
known of a new automatic gun of the
Maxim type recently Issued for trial to
the German chasseurs. The caliber Is the.
same as that of the Infantry rifle, and
the same ammunition Is used. The bar
rel, to prevent overheating. Is inclosed
In a water Jacket The gun Is carried by
two men, but one Is sufficient to train
and tend the piece. Two men carry boxes
containing; small wheels around which
the cartridge belts are wound. During
rapid fire the belts unroll with great ra
pidity; each holds 250 cartridges. This
gun Is designed for the purpose of keep
ing under a hot fire a small and well
defined piece of ground. The maximum
rate of fire (claimed) Is 600 rounds per
minute. It can be adapted to a slow Are
of 50 rounds.
"The English In SouthAfrlca are using
both Maxim and Colt automatic guns. At
Chleveley, on February 13 last, two Max
im guns are reported to have Jammed
and It was necessary to take them out
of action. The Colt guns, during this en
gagement, are reported to have worked
well. This last weapon, on the Dundon
ald carriage, seems to have passed a sat
isfactory test
"In volume xvlll of general Information
series it Is stated that the failures of tho
Colt automatic during the Spanish-American
War led our War Department to In
stitute a competitive trial of weapons of
this class. The guns entered for trial
were the Hotchklss, Colt, Maxim and
Carr. All are said to have given ex
cellent results, but the Colt Is unofficial
ly stated as having been the favorite.
The Carr gun, about which very little Is
generally known, was placed upon a tri
pod which was found to be too light, and
It Is understood that further tests will be
given It This gun weighs only 12 pounds
and Is fed from a drum containing 450
cartridges."
AFTER-ELECTION OPINIONS.
Bryan's platform was enough to defeat
him .without Indorsement of the platform
of 1896. It contained enough matter an
tagonistic to great Interests to sink a
dozen less able men than Bryan. The
wonder Is that he still got all the votes
he did. This would not have been possi
ble had he not convinced the great miru
of tho people outside of the party that
he was really a champion of the op
pressed and In sympathy with the down
trodden and the under dog in the fight.
Bryan'B sincerity and his ability are un
questioned. HIb Judgment, his. leadership
and his managers are subjected to criti
cism. Salem Journal (Ind. Dero.
The result of Tuesday's election Is a
positive verdict by the people; such a
verdict as Indicates in unequivocal terms
that a large majority of the voters in
the Urdted States have no confidence la
Mr. Bryan and doubt his sincerity rela
tive to the Issues upon which he made
his campaign. The posltlveness of thi
verdict eounds the death knell of Bryan
and his theories,' for a time at least;
and. perhaps, it is better so.
'The result of November 6, 1900, was tha
natural consequence of party unstablllty,
meteoric leadership and lmpract'cable
theories. The lessons that have been
learned will in the end be the party's
baptism of truth, purity and honesty,
and out of the disorder and fragmen's of
a once powerful party will be recon
structed a new Democratic party that will
sweep tho country four years from now
unless the party In power carries out all
Its promises, all Its pledges. The Dem
ocracy of the past four years or more I?
a thing of the past. Letus be thankful.
Let Democracy, as It was prior to Bryan.
Ism, take hold of the people anew and
all will be well. Baker City Democrat
So long as the people are divided among
themselves It will be better for the trus
reformer to put In his time trying to lay
up something for his family, and let ?o 1
tlcs take care of Itself. Bryan has been
before the people twlco, and while we be
lieve It Is "better to be right than to b
President," yet we believe that It will
require Are to flght the devil. Bryan, waa
right, but he will never bo President
St. Helens News (Dem.) )
It is perhaps Just as well for the future
prospects of the Democratic party that
Mr. Bryan failed of success, and wise
Democrats will console themselves wllh
thla reflection. Truth to tell, the Demo
cratic party has ever been better In crl.l
clsm than In performance, and It ml-rht
prove unequal to solving the great pioh-
lems that now confront the Nation. This
would mean its utter ruin as a party, for
the country would brook no failure. As
It Is. the Republican party Is given com
plete power, with a, correspondingly great
responsibility. It must satisfactorily ret
tie the Philippine question, the trust
question, and define the constitutional
relation of the United States with Porto
Rico and Hawaii. Cuba may bob up as
another perplexing question. By a de
cisive vote the Nation has entrusted
these grave matters of statecraft to the
Republican party, and will demand .a
faithful and successful Issue of the stew
ardship. Weston Leader.
The Democratic party is dead. It has
been killed by Bryantsm and Dick Croksr.
It may be reorganized under the old
name, but the composition must be of
better quality. It will probably cont3ln
some of the old-time Democracy, In fact,
the reorganization will begin with, the
conservative Eastern members of. the,
party who have bean opposed to the bov
orator from the Platte. But the nc"w
party must adopt new Issues before It
can expect to regain anything like-'the
old power and influence of the party.
The bugaboos of Imperialism have bean
knocked Into smithereens and the sophI
try and political Insincerity of Bryan will
not again soon be paraded before the
minds of the American peop'.e. Pendle

La Grande Chronicle.
A certain traveling man who comes to
La Grande has been spending several
days here lately. He Is a good Demo
crat and was an, ardent supporter of Mr,
Bryan He was so sure of his candidate's
election that he made quite a numbe- of
beta Just before the election. In" a con
versation with a friend one evening rr'or
to the election this gentleman was heard
to saj :
"Mr. Bryan, will be elected: but If he
Is not elected I will leave this country
Immediately, never to return, unlrns I

If Mr. Bryan should be defeated at th"
polls hext Tuesday, I will bid this land
farewell forever."
This same gentleman was seen lat
night. "Well, you are probably gctMn
ready to leave thli land forever, ar-
yout" he was asked.

OUR PRESIDENTS.
The Majority of Tliem Have Been
Sons; of Farmers.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The majority of the Presidents of the
United States, from Washington to Mc
Klnley, have been sons of farmers and
planters, that Is, 14 out of 24.
The father of one only, President Mc
Kinley, was a manufacturer. Of only one.
William Henry Harrison, Is It recorded
that he was a statesman. One was a
tanner and one a sexton, the fathers of
Grant and Johnson. Buchanan and Hayes
were sons of merchants but not typical
ones. Arthur and Cleveland were sons, of
clergymen. Law claimed the fathers of
Tyler and John Qulncy Adams. I Two
Presidents only were farmers or planters
Washington, who was also a surveyor,
and Lincoln, who soon - abandoned tho
farm for the law office. Eighteen Presi
dents, more than two-thirds of the whole
number, lived and thrived on the law. Of
these four began life as teachers Adams,
Garfield, Arthur and Cleveland one only
was a doctor William Henry Harrison.
One began life as a tanner, Grant;, two
as tailors, Fillmore and Johnson, the for
mer later Joining the ranks of lawyers.
Jackson and Taylor were soldiers, as was
also Grant.
Fifteen of the Presidents were college
men, Ave received their education at pub
lic schools, three were self-taught, and
Grant was the only West Point man.
Regarding the ancestry of our Presi
dents, one-third, or eight, claim Scotch
and Scotch-Irish descent; one, Madison,
was fl. Welshman, or of Welsh ancestry,
and Van Buren of Dutch, the remainder,
or 14, had English forbears.
The Presidents all married American

While Virginia claims most of the men
who have been at the head of the nation,
the women of the White House have pre
ferred New York as their birth state, six
claiming It. Virginia and Ohio each gave
four Presidents.' wives. Eight other states

The Rajahs of India, of whom there are
over 100, are classed In divisions, each
of which Is entitled to a complimentary
salute of a certain number of guns, rang
ing from nine to nineteen per Rajah.
The greatest punishment the Government
of India can Inflict on a native prince,
short of deposing him. Is to dock him a
gun or two on his salute. On the other
hand, a couple of guns extra Is a promo
tion as much prized as a step In rank
bestowed on the field of battle. Strange

necessarily be a high caste man. as mere
