Portland extends a very cordial in

ing country and of the entire Jorth'
west to come and help her enjor her
gieat Fourth of July.
It will be an occasion quite full of
enjoyment, and there will be things
to see that have never been seen be
fore.
Portland itself is now a city of 90,'
000 people, a beautiful city, with all
modern conveniences and the best
drinking water in the world. On all
occasions tho city is an interesting and
inexpensive id ace to see, and you can
ride for many miles in airy, open elec
tric cars for five cents. There are beau
ttful parka to visit, and many attrac
tive suburbs, and the five-cent fare en-
sbles the visitor to see them all,
One of the sights ol this Fourth will
be the launching of the torpedo-boat
destroyer GohUborough, which is be
ing built in Portland at a contract cost
to the United States government ol
$285,000.
Portland business men have contrib
uted nearly $8,000 to defray the ex
pense of having a good celebration and
fortunes and claims of many American
miners. Unless there i a decided
abatement on one aide or the other ol
the demands, the desired modus will
be as unlikely of attainment a was
the permanent agreement on the
boundary queition, and the chance for
a reassembling of the joint high com
mission will fade awav entirely.
THE PARIS DISASTER.
Pennsylvania and Utah are now taking entertaining the editors this year, and
tiantpoits, and the Sixth infantry will
be sent to Negros to relieve the Call-
(ornians. These troop are in good
physioal condition.
"Sickness among the troop has in
creased lately, due mostly to arduous
eivioo and climatic influence. There
is nothing alarming, however. Of the
12 per cent of the command reported
sick, nearly 6 per cent are in the gen
eral hospital, of whom S per cent have
typhoid and 17 malarial fever; 12 per
otint have intestinal trouble, and the
remainder have various ailments, 14
of which are due to wound injuries.

STRIKE OF TIN-PLATE MEN.
nri; Thoii.nnd I'.noni Wilt Ila Out Ol
Work Saturday.
Pittsburg, Pa., June 28. All tht
tin-plate works in the country-will b
closed midnight Fiiday, as a result ol
the failure to settlo the wage scale at
the conference in Chicago. Fully 50,
000 persons will be thrown idle by the
shut-down. The conference, which
opened in Chicago Tuesday morning,
closed Saturday evening at 6 o'clock,
without arriving at an agreement. The
workers' wage committee, acting under
instructions reoeived from the annual
convention held in Detroit last month,
made a demand for an advance of 20
per cent. The present wage scale ex
pires June 80, and members of th
Amalgamated Association are not
permitted to work'after that date, un
loss the now scale is signed. About
25,000 skilled workers are members ol
the association, aud as many more ar
dependent upon them, aud will b
idle while the skilled men are unem
ployed.
that means that there will be many
first-class attractions and amusements,
all fiee to the people. There will be
boat races and . bicvele races and a
parade that will excel anything of the
kind ever seen in the Northwest, com
prising cavalry, infantry, artillery and
naval battalions, and all the military
bands. In the big procession will be
many civic societies and industiial
Boats, and theie will be a brilliant
public reception to the National Edi
toiial Association, whose delegates will
number 800.
After dark, on the night of the
Fourth the summit of Mount Hood will
be beautifully illuminated with red
fire, and the giand scene will be plainly
seen from the streets of Portland,
Portland's fiieworks on the Fourth
are going to oe grand. JNew designs
have been oiiginated, and no expense
has been spared to make the display
iutresting and attractive.
Any and all visitors can well put in
several days in Portland and see some
thing new eveiy day, and enjoy every
minute, and those who come to Port
land for their Fourth will make nc
mistake.
:iaraadlri( af Tiraa br tha Captain tha
Caaaa of tha Aeeldeat.
Chicago, June 29. A special cable
to the Tribune from London says:
The Paris disaster turns out to be a
simple matter. On leaving Cherbourg,
Captain Watkrns entered the departure
in the log, "6:35 P. M.," uaing a pen
cil. The next entry waa "Passing
Caskets, 7:35." The course steered
waa almost due west in order to make
Lizard light. So as to go through the
passage between Cornwall and the
islands, the usual piactice is, if the
Lizard light is not made at a certain
time, to change the course to the south
and go clear of the islands. On this
occasion this was impossible, as, owing
to the misty night, they could not see
the Eddystone light.

Chicago, June 29. A Washington
dispatch to the Tribune says: As a re
sult ol a conference between the presi
dent and Secretary Alger this after
noon, it haa been decided to begin the
enlistment of volunteers for two years
for service in the Philippines. Orders
to recruiting officers to this effect will
be sent out tomorrow. It is proposed
to arm and equip at once three brigades,
or about 10,000, and continue the work
until the whole 85,000 men authorized
by law are secured.
There will be no nail upon the states.
The regiments will be organized as
United States volunteer. Officers will
be appointed by the president and as
signed to regiments without regard to
state lines. The maximum of the regu
lar army of 65,000 men ha been se
cured, and now enlistments will be for
the provisional army to make up the
total strength of 100,000 men. Gen
eral Otis has 29,300 men on the ground,
or under orders, and voluntere will be
rushed to him until be baa an effective
force of 50,000.
In the enlistments for the United
States volunteers, veterans of the late
war, including those who did not get
beyond the home camp, but were sea
soned, will be given the preference,
and the same will be true ol the off)
cers. A btigadier-general for every
three regiments and a major-general
(or each division of three brigade will
be appointed. They will be part regu
lar and part volunteers and General
Joe Wheeler will be among their num
ber. .
Ferta Opeaed to Trad.
Manila, June 29. Major-General
Otis haa ordered the opening to trade
of many important ports, which have
been closed since the outbreak. Many
hips used in inter-island commerce
have been tied up in the harbor here
(oi months, and the shippers and mer
chant have been urging the govern
ment to raise the blockade.
When the decision waa made known
yesterday, the scene in the custom
house was as animated as the floor ol
an American stock exchange. It was
a busy day. Ship owners rushed to get
their olearance papers.
There will be a great boom in the
bemp business, which has been at a
standstill. The ships will race to bring
the first oargo before the demand weak
ens. As there is a heavy export duty
on bemp, this will greatly increase the
revenues. The interests of the natives,
as well as the merchant traders gener
ally, led General Otis to take this ac
tion. Delegations from the southern
islands told him that the cession of
business was bringing muoh suffering
to peaceable inhabitants.
Gunboats will protect the shipping
in some ports, but elsewhere shippers
must risk confiscation by the insur
gents, who exact heavy tribute (or all
ships they permit to sail.
Terrible Inatrumeat of War.
Chicago, June 29. A special to the
Chronicle from Washington says: A
shell ol terrific explosive power with a
capacity to annihilate by bursting frag
ments and a shock as effective as a
streak of lightning, will be the feature
of the fall campaign in the Philippine
islands. Tests of the charge of this
terrible engine of war are being made
at Sandy Hook, the government guard
ing closely its secret of manufacture.
A shell of this nature, charged with
an explosive equal to melinite or dyna
mite, falling near a battalion of the
enemy would kill or cripple a very
large percentage of the battalion. The
chances nl escape from this tremendous
machine will be decreased 100 times,
experts say, as compared with shrapnel
discharged at the same objects.

discovered that two dies, similar to
those used by the United States and
British officials at Hong Kong in
stamping the certificates of identifica
tion given to Chinese merchants and
students, so they may enter American

The order foi their execution was given

It is presumed the dies are to be used
in stamping forged certificates to be
used by Chinese not of the privileged
classes. Colleotor Jackson says that
no action can be taken in the matter
until forgery is aotuaily committed.
