steamer Leon XII be immediately
landed. They proceeded to the quay,
cheering the troops, and were with dif
ficulty dispersed by the soldiers of ths
garrison. Afterwards a crowd of about
1,600 returned to the quay, and when

Tale Not Half Told. "
' Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 19. The
recent hurricane was undoubtedly the
worst visitation of the kind exper
ienced by the West Indies during the
century. Two hurricanes swept along
the island chain from Barbadoes west
ward to St. Vincent,, and thence north
west to St. Kitts, where it was last
heard from. Barbadoes suffered mostly
from the rain, which destroyed crops
and roads as it did at St. Lucia arid
other islands, while the center pi the
storm swept over St. Vincent and
Guadaloupe. Details received from jt.
Vincent show that great destruction of
life and property took place there.
Out of a population of 41,000, 800
were killed, and 20,000 injured and
rendered homeless.
' Bloomfield, Neb., Sept. 19. A dis
tinct earthquake shock, lasting several
Beconds, was felt here this morning, at
about 4 o'clock. The shock was accom
panied by a deep rumbling.
Fear of An Indemnity.
Madrid, Sept. 19. A painful impres
sion has been caused here by a state
ment made by the P.ais saying the
United States intends to demand $20,
000,000 indemnity in behall of Ameri'
can oitizens who have suffered through

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
(Reported by Downing. Hopkins A Co., Inc.,
Board of Trade Brokers, 711 lo 714 Chamber ui
Joninierve building, rortlnnd, Oregon.
There has Ix'en of late, the world
over, little shading of the early
jlaima as to wheat supplies. The
latest is the reduction by the Washing
ton authorities in their estimate of the
1898 crop 585,000,000 bushels, in
stead of the 607,000,000 bushels in Au
gust. This year's is no longer "the
biggest crop on record," a high-sounding
phrase which so often plays such
liavoo with prices and stands so well in
liou of all arguments. There was a
bigger crop in 1891. The official drop
ping of the figures under the even C00,
000,003 bushels figure will count for
something. A rouud total like that is
more appalling for some reason, in a
discussion than the more precise one,
which may be only a little under it.
Perhaps the government figures are not
high enough, and likely as not the acre
age has been underestimated, but that
makes no particular difference. If that
is true this year, it has also been true
in other seasons and need not upset the
satisfaction over the faot that this
year's American wheat crop is not "a
record breaker." Private statisticians
have been reducing their early wheat
estimates, which is also confirmatory
of the claim that there has been a
"shading of crop figures" all around.
It has not been going on alone on this
continent. Europe is now disputing as
to whether Bussia has a good or bad
yield, having dropped the early claim
as to a vast one. France alone has
about fulfilled its early promiecs. In
reference to supplies from eveiy source,
the trade is now talking conservatively
rather than in the extravagant terms
of June and July. Argentine ship
ments have stopped absolutely, after
contributing a total of less than 23,
000,000 bushels. Russia is shipping a
third as much each week as a year ago,
and, according to Liverpool is cancel
ing early September contracts. These
took like bull statements and will nat
urally suggest all those other signifi
cant facts which are of the other sort
ind which ought to be presented if any
fair argument were to be attempted.

FILIPINO CONGRESS.
pad by Agnlnaldo With a Flowery
Speech.
London, Sept. 17. The Manila cor
respondent of the Times, telegraphing
Ihursdnv, sars: I am the only foreign
lournalist present at the insurgent con
(ress at Ma!o Los, which has been se
lected as the temporary capital of the
revolutionary government. Early this
forenoon Aguinaldo, accompanied by a
large stuff of generals and ministers,
moved in state from the convent, now
lecupiod as his military headquarters,
passing between liues of infantry and
through streets decorated with palms
and bananas, and packed with thou
sands of peasants in holiday dress, to
the church half a mile distant. Hero
ho was leceived by the assembled deto
nates and conducted to a platform in
:he chancel, from which he delivered a
brief message in the Tagalons language,
liter repeating it in Spanish. The
iub8tance of the message was congratu
latory on the happy termination of the
revolution and the complete conquest
)f the territory. He made a flowery
ippeal to the delegates, asking them
by the memory of the illustrious pa
triots of Philippine history, to follow
the example of England, France and
America in preparing a constitution
uid promulgating laws to secure the
jomplete and permanent liberty of the
people of the Philippines. The mes
sage excited but little enthusiasm, be
cause it was absolutely non-committal.
The aesombly then proceeded imme
diately to organize, preparatory to a
discussion of the proposed constitution
and code of laws and the election of a
president The absence of several of
the most prominent and influential na
tives was particularly noticenble as in
dicating an intention to hold aloof until
the policy is fully declared.
A strong patty, intoxicated by the
present measure of success, favors op
position to any foreign protectorate, be
ing confident that the people can got
era themselves. Wiser counselors
strenously oppose such a suicidal poli
cy. Apparently unanimity now ex
ists only in the determination to free
the islands forever from Spanish rule.
This is the universal feeling. It will
probably prove the controlling power
in determining the final action of the
congress.
PUT IN IRONS.
Peculiar Treatment of the Rescued
Whalers on the Bear.
San Francisco, Sept 17. A special
from Seattle says: The ice-bound
whalers which were released from the
Arctic by the United States revenue
outter Bear have tamed against their
rescuers.
The men say that soon after leaving
St. Miohaeis they were ordered to wash
down the decks. They refused as they
bad no dry clothes to put on, and there
were plenty of revenue men to do the
work. Seventeen of them were clapped
into irons and put in an empty coal
bunker. The next watch also refused.
The.ro were no more irons, so thov were
tied to a beam on the cold deck, with
their hands behind them.
Captain Tuttle claims that the men
weie rebellious, and ho treated them as
if they were members of his crew.
The men say they will make a fall re
port to Washington.
Belief for Fire Victims.
Vancouver, B. C, Sept. 17. Relief
Btill comes to fire-stricken New West
minster. Rosslnnd has contributed
$5,000; the Northwest territoires,
$1,000; Kelson City, $500; Kamloops,
$500. The Vancouver board of trade
fund is nearly $3,000. The banks in
the city are obtaining instructions
from, headquarters to subscribe $500
each. The Women's Council lias col
lected $448; Nanaimo, $500. One fea
ture of the fire has been the splendid
way in which Eastern cities, as well as
Seattle and the towns of British Co
lumbia have come to the rescue of the
sufferers.
The supplies already recoived and
still coming in from Victoria, Van
couver, Seattlp and other places are
meeting the wanta of the situation in a
most satisfactory manner. It is hoped
that the cases of actual suffering will
be confined within very narrow limits.
A careful estimate places the number
of homeless people at about 2,500, and
the number of business houses and
homes destroyed at 500. The loss will
reach fully $2,600,000.

Denver, Sept. 17. A special to the

haps more lives were lost An extra
train, consisting of empty coaches going

ran into a lock Blido, and it is reported
that the whole train was thrown down

Violated the Armistice.
Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 17. Gen
eral Lawton has received information
from a Cuban courier from Mnnzanillo
that four days ago the Spaniards there
violated the armistice by attempting
to take possession of the Cuban vessel
Fernandino, which was bringing sup
plies for the Cuban army. On board
were a guard of 12 men, They Were
fired upon by the Spaniards in the foit
near the bay, one Cuban being killed.
Cleveland, O., Sept. 17. Senator
Kyle, of South Dakota, was stricken
with paralysis here today. He arrived
in this city last evening to visit friends.
This morning, while at the Forest City
hotel, he was taken ill. His entire
right side is paralyzed, and he was
rendered speechless. A few moments
later lie was unconscious. The at
tending physioian said this afternoon
that, though the senator suffered a ser
ious stroke, he was not in a serious con
dition at present.

Water, Good Streets and Handsome
Humes The Coming Exposition.
Portland, Sept. 19. (To the Editor.)
When Joe Meek and Lishe Apple
gate and Christopher Oojumbus pre
dicted that the Noithwo&t 'was going to'
develop into a rich and productive
region and that cities and townB were
going to spring up all over it, they
earned medals for veracity that woro
never awarded to them. But the peo
ple who oame after thorn aro enjoiyng
the fruits of their predictions, and will
throw flowera on the graves of those
prophets.
For tho Northwest has dcvoloped
and is developing, and Portland is one
of the prettiest places on the coast. It
was wise forethought on the part of
her pioneer people to plant shade trees
along the sides of the streets, for now
they add beauty to the landscape, and
in no oity of the world do they show
to better advantage. Portland's streets
are well shaded by day and well light
ed by night, for the wonderful electric
current is cverywhcie and ever ready to
aid humanity.
Portland's business streets are well
paved and full of life, and her business
houses contain everything needed for
the use of man. Hor homes are neat
and tastoful and in man; casos elegant,
and stand in spots where not many
years ago floulrslied tha fir forest
Portalnd people are enterprising,
and invite the pouple of the whole
Northwest to oome and visit thorn this
full, and to entertain their guests they
have arranged to hold the Oregon In
dustrial Exposition from September 23
to October 23. Portland people have
subscribed $13,000 in hard cash to pay
the expense of this exposition, and it
will be one of the grandest events that
ever occurred in the Northwest.
It will contain everything to make
it attractive, interesting and instruc
tive. There will be the band concerts
evory afternoon and evening by Ben
nett's full military band of 82 pieces,
and it will be tho finest music ever
heard in the Northwest The wondor
ful Hegolmans have beon engaged, and
they will amaze the audience with
their groat aerial aorobatlo feats. All
sorts of new and attractive amusemonts
will bo given in connection with tho
exposition, and there will be a repre
sentation of Southern plantation life,
and free cooking lectures, find a baby
show and children's oarnivnl and a
lady's department, and a school ex
hibit and a manual training scohol in
operation every day, Everything will
be on a magnificent scale throughout,
and every person who visits the exposi
tion will find something now and novel,
to interest, instruct oi amuse thorn.
One of tho special features will be tho
woddlng tn public, wiiich is open free
to all couples, and tho newly-mained
ones are generously romembored with
wedding presents.
Your correspondent was at the Expo
sition building today and saw the ar
rangements being made for the great
fair, and noted that there was going to
be a big display of all the fruits,
grains, grasses, vegetables and commer
cial timbor produced in tho Northwest,
and good, solid gold medals costing
$20 each are going to be awarded for
the best exhibits.
The exposition building is an im
mense structure 200x400 feet, suitably
divided off. Tho grand music hall is
100x200 foot and three stories high,
with an arched glass roof. The build
ing cost $150,000, and it Is convenient
ly looatod being within easy walking
distance of the hotels and business
part of the oity, or reachod from any
part on a five-cent fare on streot-cars
that pass its doors.
All the railroad and steamboat lines
are going to make special low rates to
the exposition from all parts of the
Noithwest, and the admission fee is
only going to be 25 cents, children 10
cents. People who attend will remom

Conductivity of Lightning Rods.
Some interesting experiments bearing
on the conductivity of lightning con
ductors have been made by Professor
Koch, as reported in Industries and
Iron. He formed a chain several yards
long with links of iron oxide, and
placed it in circuit with the accumu
lator cells and a galvanometer, the
chain being in a room 230 yards from
the galvanometer. When a spark was
discharged in the vicinity of the chain,
the deviation of the galvanometer
showed that tho resilience of the circuit
was reduced to one-thousandth of its
normal valuo, and in a second expert
ment the resistance fell to one ten
thousandth of the normal. From these
experiments Professor Kooh finds an
explanation why lightning conductors
with poor conductivity are nevertheless
effective in thunderstorms. The oscil
ations produced provoke an enormous
reduotion of resistance at the proper in
stant to facilitate the flow of the cur
rent through the conductor.

Jennib E Green, Denmark, Iowa,
writes to Mrs. Plnkhams
"I had been sick at my monthly
periods for seven years, and tried
almost everything I ever heard of, but
without any benefit. Was troubled
with backache, headache, pnlns in tho
shoulders and dizziness. Through my
mother I was Induced to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
It has done me so much good. I am
now sound and wulL"
Mrs. Habbt Hardy, Riverside, Iowa,
writes to Mrs. Pinkham the story of
hor struggle with serious ovarian trou
ble, and the benefit she received from
tho use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound, This is her letter:
" How thankful I am that I took
your medicine. I was troubled for
two years with inflammation of the
womb and ovaries, womb was also very
low. I was in constant miswy. I had
heart trouble, was short of breath and
could not walk five blocks to save my
life. Suffered very much with my
back, had headache all the time, was
nervous, menstruations were irregular
and painful, had a bad discharge and
was troubled with bloating. I was a
perfect wreck. Had doctored, and
taken local treatments, but still was no
better. I was advised by one of my
neighbors to write to you. I have now
finished the second bottle of Mrs. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, and am
better in every way. I am able to do
all my own work and can walk nearly
a mile without fatigue; something I
had not been able to do for over two
years. Your medicine has done me
more good than all the doctors."

Dr. Thomas II. Wfiito, at tho north

Therefore it Is ot vital importance, to
keep your natural teeth as long as pos
sible. It is not always necessary to
tiavn your teeth extracted because they
are decayed evon to tho gum margin,
or becauso they pain you and you can
not use them tn suoh condition, for 1)5
