WASHINGTPN, May 24. The report of
Captain Langfitt, in charge of river and
harbor improvements In Oregon, ontho
work during the month of April shows
that much more progress was made, on
the whole, than in any month during the
Winter. Speaking of the improvements at
the mouth of the Columbia, the report
says:
J,In anticipation of the passage of the
river and harbor bill last session, the re
pairs to the tramway were pushed with
all possible speed, with a view of taking
up the extension of the jetty at the earli
est possible date. For this purpose only
the most 'decayed piles In the tracks were
2291 pounds 'of iron, 24.SS2 feet ol lumber
and 5307 feet of piles were 'placed In the
jetty.
"The Puget Sound snagboat was busy on
the Skagit River. In inspecting the mouth
of the Nooksack, and in making a gen

was the lowest bidder. Its price being 26.7
cents per cubic yard. This recommenda

mander was seen advancing from the rear
of the- platform. Bang! went the gavel
In the hands of General J. B. Gordon, but
the cheers went on, the veterans standing
upright, swinging their hats, and giving
again and again the . yell of welcome.
Bang! bang! went the gavel, but to no
eva'l.
"Please let us have quiet," rang the
clear, penetrating voice of General Gor
don, piercing through the house. "Dele
gates will please resume their seats," and
after a few more rounds of vociferous
welcome, the delegates sat down. Gen
eral Gordon then formally accepted the
hall.
At the conclusion of General Gordon's
address. General S. D. Lee presented an
other gavel whose head was made of the
wood of the steamer Star of the West,
at which was fired the first shot of the
war as it attempted to carry relief to
Fort Sumter, the handle being made from
a tree growing on the estate of Beauvoir.
General George W. Gordon then delivered
a gavel made from wood from a tree
growing on the battle-field of Appomattox,
la a neat address. General John B. Gor
don accepted both gavels. He then pre
sented Colonel Bennett H. Young, of
Louisville, the orator of the day.
While Colonel Young was In the midst
of his address, General Fltzhugh Lee was
seen on his way to the platform. He
was greeted with warm cheers as he
stepped upon the platform, and was com
pelled repeatedly to bow his acknowledg
ments. During Bishop Gaylor's address
General Joseph Wheeler Quietly entered"
the hall and was loudly cheered. He was
compelled in a, few words to express his
thanks for the welcome accorded him.
General Fltzhugh Lee delivered a short
speech, and was followed by Senator
Bate, of Tennessee.
At the conclusion of bis address, the
regular business of the convention was
taken up by the call of the roll of states
for membership on various committees.
After the membership of the committees
had been announced, the convention ad
journed at 32:40 o'clock until 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning. Because of the
threatening weather, the flower parade
was postponed until tomorrow.
The sixth annual reunion of the United
Sons of Confederate Veterans was called
to order In the Auditorium by the Right
Rev. Bishop Thomas F. Gaylor, of Mem
phis. Division Commander James J.
Bean, of Lynchburg, Tenn., delivered the

Louisville, who made a short speech and
assumed .the chair. The convention took
a recessuntil 2 o'clock, and marched In
a body to Confederate Hall to participate
in the reunion exercises with the Veterans.
Civil War and Jn -the Spanish War. They
have ceased for 20 years to be an of
fensive element In politics. Leading
members of the race have persistently
urged the negro to learn to trust the
white man. For these men this is a cru
cial time. The negro pays some direct
taxes. He pays much more Indirectly
through his labor. He is in the main a
producer of wealth, and generally con
tented and law-abiding. Already the emi
gration agent and exodus association are
at work on the negro, and he fears that
his citizenship and schools will both be
taken away. The relations are now rea
sonably satisfactory between the races.
Anything that will unsettle the negro
now, when he Is settling down to thrift
and common sense, would Injure bothi
races. The address pleads that all In
centive for right and useful living be not
withdrawn from the young negro. It
concludes:
"Any law which will merely change the
name and form of fraud or can be Inter
pretated as meaning one thing when ap
plied to one race, and something else
when applied to another, will not, In our
opinion, Improve present conditions, but
unsettle the peace and thrift of our peo
ple and decrease the wealth and prosper
ity of Alabama."
Senator Morgan has prepared for the
consideration of the Constitutional Con
vention an address designed to support
his suffrage clause. Senator Morgan's
plan Is simple. Nobody but a white man
shall hold office. A court of three reg
istrars is provided for each county, find
these courts shall have absolute power to
determine the qualifications of every
voter, save that an appeal from Its de
cision lies to the Circuit Courts. The
real feature of the plan Is in the pro
vision that only white men shall hold
office. The registrar plan Is similar to
that in Mississippi, except that the
courts of registrars have a much wider
discretion.

DENVER LABOR CONVENTIONS.
Western Federation of Miners and
Western Labor Union.
DENVER, Colo., May 2S. The conven
tion of the Western Federation of Miners
will not get around to doing things before
tomorrow. All today was consumed in
straightening out the credentials and seat
ing delegates, reading the reports of offi
cials and appointing, of committees. In
hlsuannual address. President Boyce con
gratulated the organization on Its pros
perity. He called attention to the fact
that 27 new unions had been added to the
federation during the year, embracing a
total of S000 men. In all, there are 50,000
members of the Federation, and the work
accomplished during the last year showed
they were good men. In speaking of the
Coeur d'Alene mining trouble, Mr. Boyco
said that proprietors were blacklisting
the -men, and that miners now had to get
a permit In order to go to work. He
declared this system was an outrage on
American liberty, and that blacklisting
men lor labor troubles was worse than a
relic "of the Middle Ages. To meet this
method on the part of some employers.
Mr.'" Boyce advocated a more progressive
policy, in organizing the different unions
of the body. More numerical strength,
he declared, should be obtained, and the
members should make progress In educa-tlon.-and
the study of economic questions.
The executive board recommended a. spe
cial assessment of $1 per capita for the
purpose of maintaining organizers In the
field. The treasurer's report showed re
ceipts of $40,000 during the year, and ex
penditure of nearly $49,000 on account of
theiCoeur d'Alene trouble. The treasury
is. however. In good condition. The rest
of toe day was devoted to reports of
standing committees.
Sixiy-one delegates have been seated at

French Will Use Cannon and Smoke
to Fight Frost and Grasshoppers,
WASHINGTON, May 28. The French
agriculturists Intend to fight frost and
grasshoppers, as well as hall storms, with
cannon and smoke, according to on in
teresting report received at the State De
partment from Consul Couvert, at Lyons.
It has just been determined to hold an
International cannon congress at Lyons,
in November next, and Consul Couvert is
authorized to extend an Invitation to
Americans to take part. The success that
has attended the experiment of firing at
approchlng hail storms to prevent their
ravages upon French vineyards has
prompted steps for a still further exten
sion of the use of cannon in agricultural
products. The theory In some quarters
prevails thatMt is not the frost itself
which blasts the budding fruit, but the
sun's rays following a night of frost
which find the grape, already sensltve
from the cold, an easy victim to the heat.
Cannon fired horizontally over vineyards
at sunrise produced Interesting results.
A strip of vineyard 500 feet wide over
which the smoke from two cannon had
been spread was entirely protected from
the effects of the frost, while the vines
on either side were badly injured. An In
vasion of grasshoppers Is announced to
occur this Summer m Southern Algeria,
and the cannon's mouth is to be turned
against them also.
Rinfr May Be Link to Murder Charge.
CHICAGO, May 28. A gold ring taken
from the body of Marie Defenbach may
prove the connecting link to a formal
murder charge growing out of the case
of conspiracy to defraud fraternal orders
and Insurance companies now on trial
here. The ring is in possession of the
State's Attorney. It is said to have been
examined by expert chemists and pro
nounced affected by a peculiar poison
which would trace its way through the
human system, causing death. Today's
evidence in the case was decldely against
Dr. Unger, who Is charged with being
the principal conspirator.

removed, and- others were left In to be
attended to when working conditions
would be more favorable. All of these
particularly decayed piles were cut and
built up during the month. Atrthe time
Of the storms In 'December a number of
piles were broken off by logs and other
drift, and new piles will have to be driven
in these places before the driver can. be
taken to the front- to-redrive the tracks
from station 215- to the original end, sta
tion 250. This portion of the old tram
way was washed away by the storms sev
eral years ago.
"Repairs to dumpcars were continued
and 22 cars and 33 carboxes are now
completed. ' All "ironwork for 20 more cars
is finished, and work on new dump cars
Is under way. The forging for eight flat
cars is done. The wheels of nearly all
the old cars have been taken off the
axles, these turned down, and new wheels
pressed on. One boxcar was built. Re
pairs to locomotive, "No. 4 were com
pleted. This locomotive has had a thor
ough overhauling. Locomotive No. 3 has
been, taken in for repairs. During the
month of May it is proposed to continue
repairs to dumpcars and locomotives, to
build new dumpcars, to redrlve washed
away piles in the tramway, and begin
the rebuilding of the washed-away por
tion of the tracks. The balance still
available for this work Is now $98,441.
"Considerable work was done on the
Columbia and Willamette Rivers below
Portland. The United States dredge Ladd
was at work in the estuary of the Colum
bia. River. It worked at Tongue Point
until April 20, excavating 23,389 yards of
material at that locality, making a total
of 114,694 yards dug there since January
1. This material was dumped below
Taylor Sands. April 22 the Ladd com
menced work at Harrington Point cross
ing, and excavated 14,678 yards of ma
terial before the end of the month. This
material was dumped just below Harring
ton Point. This work will continue as
long as the balance, $77,839, holds out.
- On account of a freshet the La Fayette
lock of the Yamhill River was closed to

sult of this freshet more or less scour
took place alone the west bank, and much
of the earth protecting the upper revet

for the present dredging has been suspended."
BALANCED TURRET.
Approval of New Type for Large
Ships of the Navy.
WASHINGTON, "May 28. The Navy
Department today approved' the plan, of
a balanced turret for the new monitor
Nevada, and this will be a precedent for
the monitors Florida, Wyoming and Ar
kansas, of the same class. This Is the
flrst introduction of the balanced type
turret for monitors, and It practically
makes universal this form of equipment
for large ships' of the Navy. By this sys
tem the entire structure, including the
guns, is balanced at the center of grav
ity instead of the center of the turret and
as a result the .weight of the finger is al
most sufficient to swing the guns about In
their track.
Bankruptcy Decision.
WASHINGTON, May 28. The United
States Supreme Court has affirmed the
decision of the lower court in the case
of John T. Plrie and others, involving a
construction of the bankruptcy law of
some interest to business men. It came
here from Chicago. The case involves the
proposition as to whether, under the
bankruptcy laws, it created a preference
to pay money on account in the regular
course of business by one who at the time
was Insolvent, to a creditor unaware of
that fact and who had no reasonable
causae to believe either that the debtor
was Insolvent or intended by such pay
ment to give a preference. The lower
court held that it did, and the Supreme
Court, through Justice McKenna, upheld
that ruling. Chief Justice Fuller and Jus
tices Shlras, Peckham and White dissented.
WOOL CLIP COMING IN.
Warehousemen at Loss to Know
"What to Do "With It.
BAKER CITY, May 28. The wool clip
of 1901 Is beginning to arrive In this city
from the near-by sheep ranches. A large
number of wagons, loaded with huge wool
sacks, came In from the country yester
day. The warehouse men are at a loss
to know what to do with this year's clip.
A large part of last year's wool Is still
In the warehouses In this city, .awaiting
buyers. The price of wool, at the present
time, Is so low that few of the sheepmen
are willing to even talk with the buyers
who have come'thla way recently.
It Is expected that the convention of
woolgrowers that Js to assemble here in
July will take some action that will have
considerable influence upon the local wool
market, so far as prices are concerned.
It Is probably due to the fact that a con
ference of the woolgrowers has been
called that there Is no activity shown
by the growers, because of the scarcity
of purchasers at this time. There is good
reason to believe that the sealed-bid plan,
adopted by the Wyoming sheepmen, will
be adopted at the July conference. By
that plan, all buyers will have to submit
sealed proposals to purchase wool, and a
committee of he growers will be em
powered to accept or reject any and all
bids. It is understood that the wool sold,
provided there is not a demand for all on
hand at an acceptable price, will be ap
portioned to each grower in proportion
to the amount of wool he has In the pool.
The Panhandle Case.
A decision in the Panhandle mandamus
case, which was tried hefore Judge Ellis,
at Pendleton, several weeks ago, was ex

his consideration. The briefs have been

given as to when the case will be deter
