COMMERCIAL AND"
The second week In May -went out
yesterday with the dullest wbeat market
of the season, and. the Inactivity which
has characterized the wool market since
the opening of the season is s-till very I
much In evidence. Despite these un
favorable factors, general trade through
out the week was excellent. The salmon
run on the Lower Columbia is highly sat- I
isfactory, and the prices-paid are so much
better than In former years that the
fishermen ail have plenty of money to
spend. "With the exception of wheat,
price changes have been of small con
sequence during the week. In th case
of the cereal, the market is full 2 cents
lower than it was a week ago. Potatoes
suffered a slight decline In the San Fran
cisco market, and a sympathetic reduc
tion followed in the Portland market, the
price now being back to 45 and 53 cents
lor he "best stock which can be secured.
There are very few choice upland Bur
banks left, and the average run of .offer
ings go for less money, most of the sales,
being around SS and 40 cents -per cental."
New potatoes are plentiful, and the gen-.,
eral price is 1 cents f per pound. New
California onions are plentiful at 2
and 3 cents per pound.
A carload of California strawberries was
received Friday evening, and if the grow
ers get their freight money out of the
consignment they will be in luck. The
uit "was too long on the "way,, and was
ubout half spoiled when it reached .here.
Some of the best of it sold around 00
and 75 cents per crate, but the greater
part of It was offering at 25 and 35 cents
per crate. Good California berries sold
yesterday at $1 and $1 50 per crate, and
Oregon berries sold at 23 and 30 cents, with
hardly enough to supply the demand. A
carload of bananas came In yesterday,
arriving rather ripe for shipping, butln
Cood order for Immediate use. The poul
try markets cleaned up well yesterday at
good pjlces. Eggs are a shade'lower, and
stocks are accumulating. In the grocery
jr - "market a decline in package coffee is the
uiiij iic.i ui interest.
"Wheat There was plenty of wheat of
fered for sale yesterday at the prices
which might have been paid a week ago;
but exporters seem to have got in line
with the rest of the world's markets,. and.
are not Inclined to make fancy bids for
tha cereal. All markets wore lower yes
terday, and May wheat in San Francisco
was quoted 54 cents per bushel, the low
est figure reached In San Francisco for
many years. At Portland a?few.men had
offers of 52 cents out, but were not getting
much wheat, and" one sale of No. 1 "Walla
"Walla was reported at 52& cents. There
is considerable wheat on spot, and with
uncertainty regarding the rising waters of
the Columbia and "Willamette, .there seems
to be less desire to add to the stocks
that are already piled up on the docks.
The only spot ship on the free list in the
river was chartered yesterday at a rate
much above that 'which could be paid
for a vessel with the market In its pres
ent condition, if It was necessary to buy
wheat to fill her.
There has been hut very little charter
ing during the week, and when stocks on
spot are cleaned up there will be still less
doing in the way of new business, unless
the foreign markets take a turn for the
better. There Is enough tonnage strung
along over the next two or three months
before the new crop commences to move
to take care of what has already been
bought and that which will come drib
bling along in small lots, and until this
is exhausted exporters will not pay the
exorbitant Tates at which ships are held.
Crop conditions in the Northwest con
tinue, most favorable, especially east of
the mountains, where nothing but the hot
winds can prevent a bumper crop. The
outlook in California Is also much Im
proved, the San Francisco Commercial
News of the 10th reporting as follows:
"The situation In California has heen
much Improved by the recent rains; all
sections but Southern California report
,good prospects for the coming wheat crop,
and In some parts of the San Joaquin
Valley the heaviest yield for years Is
expected. Business in the local market
Is light, and will continue so until the
advent of the new crop. Millers are buy
ing to a small extent."
"WOOLThere is little or nothing doing
in the local pool market, and quotations
remain strictly nominal. The situation
from an JSa-nern point of view Is thus
. set forth by the New York Commercial:
' 'The "West Is not going to weaken.
This Is something that is being more
firmly impressed upon the seaboard mar
ket every day. The new clip Is further
along, by a w eek or 30 days at leas't, than
is customary at this time of the year,
and yet the buyers in the field have
bought less than they would ordinarily
have done at this time. An offer of i;i
cents, against a demand of 21 cents, is
not conducive of early purchasing. There
is little or no change in the local situa
tion. Stockfe-'have been generally cleaned
up and. thert "". HIV M-p-.ntnf- i
way or the other. Some one-quarter
b oods grades have come out ini vuv.r
during the present week, and have found
a ready market at prevailing prices, but
on the whole there is no Improvement in
the general run of business.
"'It Is only a very few days now until
the beginning of the London May sales,
and as the time grows nearer there Is an
Increased Interest in foreign wools. The
sales will be watched much more closely
than usual from this side of the water
on account of the conditions, which are
holding domestic wool on anything but a
settled basis. There are good reasons for
heavy American buIng at these sales,
for there is more real demand for foreign
wool, even in the Fall, if the new clip
promises to be unusually large, than there
ever was before. The American mills are
Increasing their consumption much more
rapidly than those of either England or
the Contlnont-
"The demand for carpet wools is bettor
than It was a week or two ago and there
is a better tone to the market. Quoted
prices, however, remain unchanged."

INDIAN WAR-- PENSIONS
REPRESENTATIVE TOXGUE'S LET
TER TO "VVELL-KXOWX VETERAX.
An. Explanation to Samuel Handsa
le r, of Eugene City, on tlae Rea
sons for , Legislative Delay.
WASHINGTON, May 2. My Dear Sir:
Yours of the 15th Inst, has just been re
ceived. Permit me to state briefly the
present situation of the Indian War pen
sion bill. You will perhaps remember
that In 1S92 the original law was passed
which this present bill seeks to amend.
That law provided for granting a pen
sion to the veterans of the Blackhawk
'War, Seminole War and several other
Indian wars. Why the Oregon wars were
not Included in that law I have " been
-unable to ascertain. At the last Con
gress Senator MoBrlde Introduced a bill
in the Senate, and I Introduced one in
the House, to amend the law of 1S02 so
as to grant the same pensions to the sur
.vlyora of the Indian. Avars of Oregon and
Washington and some other wars through
out the United States as was given to
the survivors of the Indian wars named
in the law of 1S02. The bill passed the
Senate, as It had done In the previous
Congress, but met decided opposition in
tho House at the hands of the Speaker.
When," J began to 16bk into the -matter
and came to Congress, it seemed" Impos
sible to convince Speaker Reed or the
members of the committee having charge
of the bill that there was any real merit
in it. All seemed to labor under the Im
pression that the Indian wars of Ore
gon were .something like those at a later
,day mall neighborhood, affairs, lasting
but a few days ago and that they wero
waged in defense of large, valuable farms
which the Government .had given to the
early settlers without money and without
price. One marked advantage, at least,
has been made. I have. succeeded in con
vincing the Speaker of the House, or rath
er both Speakers, and the members of
the committee, that the bill has real
merit, that these Indian War veter
ans. Instead of defending their own homes,
went hundreds of miles to defend settlers
in other localities, and to perform duties
.that tho Government ought to have per
formed, and which It shamelessly neg
lected. I have further convinced them
'that, instead of the Government giving
to the early settlers of Oregon valuable
farms, the early settlers of Oregon gave
that state to the Government and to the
flag. They are satisfied now with the
justice of the bill. They would be readv.
II think, to report It and pass it. If It" was
Deiieved that the bill could fairly be passed
at the present session. Democratic hos
tility two years ago was so marked that
tthe Democrats refused to give unanimous
consent for me to address thr House r.n
.ma um uciuro ma committee naa re
ported. I have not hdd such a reauest
refused on any other subject, nor Is It
usual to refuse such request to any mem
ber of the House.
It Is believed that If this bill should come
before tho House, there would be an ef
fort to attach to It Important and 'seri
ous amendments, that would either force
the defeat of the bill or would make It
extremely odious. The question now Is
whether there Is any way to prevent such
a catastrophe. I am hoping to be" able
to .procure the consent of both sides of
the House, and If the bill is reported and
brought up for action. It will not bo at
tacked by any attempts to load it with
this class of amendments. That cannot
be done: unless Democrats consent to it
as well as Republicans. I am doing every,
thing I can looking toward securing- such
a result. What the outcome will be it
Is impossible for me to definitely aav. Th-
1 nearness cf the election in Oregon1 will
1 fe.ared' make e Democrats extfemel
""-"uus to taKe such a course as will
defeat the bill or will make its passage
extremely obnoxious through the charac
ter of the amendments that may be at
tached to It.

hao passed years ago. Every hour of
delay Is a continuation of tho injustice
these, veterans have suffered jears and
magf;v,They were abanoned to the
mercy of the savage in the early das of
Oregxra and the Injustice ought not to
be condoned. .
Now. this much in explanation of the
Permit me to call your attentlob. to the
fact that this bill Includes pensions for
wars In Oregon. Washington, and two
L hree otner states of the Union. These
old. Veterans reside In California, In both
Congressional districts of Oregon, in
Florida, and other states. So far as r
know, and I have an opportunity to
know something about It. -I have not
only taken the lead in endeavoring to
secure the passage of this bill but have
given 10 times more labor to it than all
of the othor members of the House whose
constituents-are interested in Its passage
am the only member of the House
who has taken an active Interest in se
curing its passage. I have worked for it
In season and out of season, night and
day, made myself disagreeable to both
Speakers, and to nearly every member
of the committee. I have gone to other
leading members of Congress, friends of
the Administration, everywhere, where I
thought I could elicit help. Remember I
did not come to Congress under" the prom
lso, of passing this bill. It was never
heard from in my campaign when I -was
elected. I did not know its .condition. I
took it up because I believed It was
right and Just and ought to be passed,
and not as a matter to secure political
favor.
Now, how does It happen that when
you want to indulge In threats, you se
lect the only friend the bill vhas In the
House of Representatives as "the one to
be made the center of your attacks? Tho
other men who have taken no interest
in it, who have not cared a continental
what became of It, are" not being threat
ened. No one Is disturbing them. Why
do you single me out, the only one who
Is earnestly and sincerely your friend, as
tho one to threaten? Why do you call
my good faith in question In reference
to a bill for which I have put in 10 times
the labor that I have for any other bill
in Congress?- Do you think that is vrise?
Do you think it Is manly and fair and
good treatment? Do you think it is going
to stimulate my energy? Do you think
I am going to be whipped on to thi3 mat
ter? Do you think It -will increase my In
terest and earnestness for the support of
the bill -to be threatened by the very men
w.nom i. am striving with all my might
and main to serve? If you are going to
select some one to threaten, why don't
you single out somebody who Is doing
nothing, and ought to help, or who Is
opposing -when he ought to favor? Do
you suppose that I can pass that bill
alone? Do you suppose that any 20 men,
or 20 men, or 100 men In Congress, can
pass. It alone? Do you realize that the
House consists" of 360 members? That
there are from 12,000 to .20,GG0 bills pend
ing before Congress, and which all these
men are eager to have passed. Do you
know that not one bill in 20 goes through?
You refer to my pledges made at the
meeting in Portland. I happen to have
the speech I then made In writing. I
made no pledge to "you. or to any one
else, except of my earnest and cordial
support of tho measure, and it has had
that every moment that I have been in
Congress. I stated that I believed the
bill would be passed during the present
Congress, and I now believe that it win.
But I pledged you no support of Con
gress, and any man that would pledge
Congress for the support of any measure
would be an idiot or a gross fraud.
Ton say that unless the bill is passed
before election, I shall be defeated. Very
well, my impression is tfca it will not
be passed by the time election comes. I
may be defeated. I don't' think so. But
should, such' a- thine; happen, permit xne

Exhibit the Gold.
PORTLAND, May 11. (To the Editor.)
I notice in. Woodard, Clarke & Co.'3
window a gold brick that came from the
Bohemia district, about 200 miles south
cast of Portland. Now, I consider that
a good move. If all the mines that are
producing In the state would bring or send
their gold bullion to be exhibited in Port
land, It would' be the means of doing a
great deal of good. The Blue River sec
tion, just south of Portland, Is produc
ing bullion every week that should be
sent here before being sent to the mint.
I refer to the Lucky Boy mine. Eastern
Oregon Is producing thousands of dollars
everj" month in pure gold that Is sent di
rectly to the mint, and that no one in the
City of Portland knows anything aoout:
consequently, they have no confidence In
the mines of Oregon. It is not uncom
mon to hear business men make the re
mark that they don't know that thero is
any good producing mining properties in
this state, as they don t see anything in
the shape of gold or bullion to give them
the confidence. I know It costs something
to sends the gold here before sending it to
the mint, but it will pay in the long run,
as It will inspire confidence In our Ore
gon mines. Thousands of dollars are sent
