attention. Among the officers who will

The circular of the Minister of For
eign Affairs, Count von Bulow, meets
with singularly unanimous approval In
the German press, excepting solely the
socialist organs, which continue to abuse
the, gov"r:ment fcr its so-called world
power policy, cla.ir.lng It has thereoy
precipitated th Chinese crisis. The resr
of the prM and th nation as a whoe
tally Indorse Count von Bulow's policy
classing It 68 wU iroderate and circum
spect. The whola attitude of the nation
toward the unt orsi ndlng between the
powers xclud.s the idea of German
seeking sj.r rate aovi ntages from action
in China. No i'l-wlll Is shown In tha
press or by the p'.bllj towards any othr
power In regard 10 China, unless In the
case of some of the rabid Anglophobe
newspapers. The Deutsche Tage Zcl
tung points out that "while all the other
powers bend their efforts to subdue
China, England alone Is prostrate," et.,
and with It "a mall force of mercenaries
cannot be trusted," because they are un
able to "take adequate part in such tastes
of civilization." The paper adds: Eng
land is thus forced to rely on Japan to
get her chestnuts from the Are. "Eng
land's Impotence Is mainly owing to her
unrighteous South African war, and the
legitimate interests of the whole of civ
ilization thereby now suffer." But this
portion of the Ger'am press has no In
fluence. Lieutenant Gij.oehammer In Die Wo;
che today dlscisas the military sltua
tlon In China, poln'i out the difficulties
of a campaign there for the allies, in
cluding the climate, commissariat, hous
ing, roads, possi i"c lirk of harmony anl

"China evUenily laigely counts on the
latter, or else sne wrvld not have beti
bold enough to defy the whole "Western
combination. She expects a large mortal

rainy season. Just setting in there."
The government here remains without
confirmatory news t f the losses and ris

The newspapers are calling attention to
the alleged ex'stonce of a "Chinese cam
paign of lies," clllrg ar proof the text
of a number of nc-nl statements of the
Chinese authorities, expressing the be
lief that the Chinese therewith ara cun

this, "as even Russia has now been forced
to acknowledge Chinese duplicity," proof
of which the Vosslsche Zeltung prints In
a St. Petersburg special, saying that Rtri

The Hay-Holleben agreement continues
to be discussed here. The Foreign Of

subject. The Frankfurt Zeltung main
tains that the German sugar quartan
with the "United. States, which has
aroused the worst bad blood, is left un

true, the value of h agreement is greac

pers coincide in this.
Interest in the South African war was-'
revived this week. Extras were issued
announcing that the British had met wltn

lng, when Collector Thompson and three
others undertook to seize wheefs on which
the tax was unpaid. It had been found
that when a collector undertook to col
lect from several about all would get
away but tne one addressed, and in order
to avoid this Thompson had a long brass
chain made so that small padlocks could
be attached to It at intervals. The in
tention was when ho went to gather in
any considerable- number of wheels he
would first lock the bicycles together by
means of this chain. Then as the tax
was paid the bicycles could be released
and turned over to their owners. Theo

falled utterly, and bits of brass chain

number of bleycles collect every night,
and are stacked together and at various
places. Four collectors undertook to
gather them together and lock them to
the chain. Quite a string of them was
secured in this way. When it was dis
covered what the collectors were about,
they were set upon by a large crowd and
were handled pretty roughly before they
finally not away. Jack O'Day, one of the
collectors, Jumped Into the merry-go-round,
and, when on the opposite side,
got away. The chain was then brokon
into bits and the bicycles released. Tho
crowd sided with those whose bicycles
bad been locked up, and the collectors
were hustled out of the crowd, or they
would have been handled much more
roughly than they were. It appears to
have been a clear case of resisting offi

OREGON NEOCENE RIVERS
THEIR 'WATER SHEDS FORM DIS
TEV'CT MOUNTAIN RANGES.
JT. H Kilc Offers Some Saseestions
JWliIab. Bene Directly on tao
Question of Good Production.
The term "neocene" has been used con
sistently with the nomeelature adopted
by the survey In preference to "pliocene."
"The neocene comprises the mlocene and
pliocene periods of the tertiary era.
The geological observer cannot fall to
notice that the gold-bearing gravel of the
neocene rivers of Oregon and Washing
ton as well as Idaho and their water
sheds form a mountain range as distinct
as those of today, and that, Its first sum
mit In general coincided with the corre
sponding xnodern divide. Observation
proves that. the grades of the remaining
neocene gravel channels are to a cer
tain extent determined by the direction
In which they flowed In such a way as
strongly to suggest that the slopes of
tho Cascades as well as the Blue Moun
.tains and farther east than Idaho have
been considerable Increased since the
time when the neocene antl-volcanlo riv
ers flowed over the surface. It js prob
able from the study of the gradfc curves
and the remaining channels that the sur
face of the mountain has been deformed
during the uplifts, and that the most no
ticeable deformation Has been caused by
the subsidence of -the portion adjoining
the groat Valleys of-the- Columbia and
Snake Rivers. These ancient cold-bearing
river channels, whloh are mostly
buried under a mass of debris of vol
canic material, are not only peculiar to
Oregon but to California as well. A large'
part of the Blue Mountains as w ell as tho
eastern slopes of the Cascades are capped
with masses of volcanic material, -under
which are buried these ancient river'
channels. Theexperienced miner can de-
tect at onoo the old channel-washed gold
.from these dead rivers from that which
has been much later eroded from the
quartz vein; tho gold Is rough and
craggy, and bears no resemblance to the
smooth and flaky appearance of the
former.
The buried rivers aro sometimes called
dead rivers, but there is no such thing;
a river Is one of the most persistant
things In nature. It cannot be stopped or
destroyed without changing the whole
topography of the country, and as the
topography of Oregon has been nearly
in Its present form during the lapse of
at least two geological periods, so what
we call "burled rivers" are the burled
channels of the present rivers which were,
sealed up about th close of the pliocene
epoch of the terlary period. This Is no
ticeably the case east of the Cascade
Mountains along the John Day and Des
chutes Rivers, which haye been rouoh dis
torted, and, during the uplifts, have left
many of their branches dry on the sum
mits of the Blue Mountains. The river,
when once changed, has to gather its
waters together again, and In the hun
dreds of thousands of yearn that have
lapsed these streams have cut down their
new channel, eroding channels in some
places two or three thousand feet in
depth. ' notably tho Snake River, which
now flows through a canyon leaving its
ancient channel high up near the top
of a ridge which now separates the Pow
der River from the Burnt River. The
canyons or valleys through "which this"
ancient river flowed were much less deep
and precipitous than the canyons of the
modern river, yet the ancient rivers were
much larger than the modern rivers; their
channels are several times as wldo; in
some places there are two or three chan
nels, one above the other. These chan
nels are of course formed at different
periods of the rivers' history. When such
Is the case, If these upper channels carry
bed-rock gravel, they are sure to -carry,
gold nuggets and much fine gold. But
where did this gold come from? Some ex
planation of the presence- of this gold is
forced upon us. We must look for on
explanation that will be general in Its
nature and account for nil the gold found
In like situations everywhere. Several
of our scientists have pointed out ex
planations, but they have not been gen
erally nccepteo.
Previous to the cretatlous age all ocean
coast line extended far Into the Interior
and over the seat of tho various mountain
ranges cast of tho Coast Range Moun
tains yet unborn. During this age the
Blue Mountains and portions of the Cas
cade Mountains formed the shores of the
Pacific Ocean, and the verdure-clad
mountains of the Coast Range lay slum
bering In the bosom of mother earth until
the renewed activity of tho cretatlous.
age forced them to the surface. This is.
as far as w can go geologically. This
treats principally of the primitive forma
tion of the coast and leaves the presence1
of the immense deposits of gravel, which
n many cases overlay the summits of
ridges, to be attributed to the ancient
tributary channels of the neocene rivers.
Should we go back In th geological
history of our earth to tho cretatlous pe
riods when the two continents. Eastern
and Western, become one. we should find
much to Interest u. In the life, the rock,
and their distribution, but In this, article
we will confine our subject mostly to the
neocene time. The rivers running Into the
ocean aro subject to great change owing
to the elevation and depression of tho
ocean level arid the glacial epoch which

this, roust be looked for In astronomy

In the year 1250 B C the. great Win

Ton years ago Captain Bowman H. Mc
Callo, TJ. S. N., was 'tried by courlmar
tlal and ccmvlcted of striking, a salloV
wjth the back of his sword. . Hl3 pun
ishment, was suspension from duty for
t)ireo years and the loss of 10 mumbers In
rank. . It was shown that the. offiqer was
unable, to control hls temper, and thus
the punishment .Awas made .severe.
Though the captain, and his devoted, wife
made every ..effort 'to have Congress re
duce or, remit the sentence, they met with
. failure, though President Harrison .agreed
lxo a snortening ot tne term or suspension.
Whon the-war with Spain broke out Mc
Calla saw tho opportunity had come for
him to prove, that he was fit to. be an
officer In the Navy of the United States.
At his own request he was given com
mand of the cruiser Marblehead, . and
brave work did he do around Santiago
and Guantanamo. He was right In the
thick of the trouble all the ..time, and
it Is safd of him that for days he did
not removo his clothing, but slept wrap
ped in n blanket under the bridge, with
orders to be called the moment he was
-needed.-
The plan Is now In command of the
Torktown, in Chinese waters. Admiral
Kempf in, a report to the Secretary of
the Vavy, tolls how McCalla. not willing
to send men"1 ashore in charge of. an of

took command of them nirmelf. and led
the whole of the allied forces on their
mojeh of relief to Pekln. On tho way
with JleCalla In command, and at -the
head" of his little band, they met and
fought Imperial troopsv and In the battle
the brave McCalla was wounded. Fortu
nately, the wound -waa not a severe one,
and th captain Is still on duty,pralsod
by the Admiral and honored by all the
men vhder his command.
After his good work In the war with
Bpaln, Captain 'McCalla received from
President McKInley a full ana -unconditional
pardon, which restored him. to his
former rank and position. ' He has been
giving to his country a' conspicuous ser
vice. His fault of 10 years ago was duo
to Impetuosity, and to an unbridled tem

"and the penalty left a blot upon his rec
