The first bout to reach Eugene this
season was Hie ( It & N Co' steamer,
Gypsy, which arrived here yesterday
evening.
i'htt boat, commanded by Captain
Gordon, lift llarrisburg yesterday
morning at 7 o'l-ha-k, arriving here at
4 o'clock yesterday evening, having
XH'rieiiced but III t to dilHeulty in
reaching tli in city, Hhe only had to
line over one rittl Bil l that was bo
cause of a hiihu which occupied the
deepest portion of the channel. The
h.):it carried 40 Ioiih of freight from
llarrisburg for Kugeiie,
Roseburg and
Ashlund.
The Gypsy is a very neat specimen
ufthe river cra't. Hho lias Mwerful
machinery aboard and can push right
along over tho worst rapid j encounter
ed on the upper river. Tho boat
draws about ID Inches of water when
light and when fully loaded drawr
about IS inches. Site can lie run very
economically in regard to fuel. Only
two cords of wood weie renuired
run tho boat Irom llarrisburg to Eu
gene V sterdav. and five cords will
run her fiom Corvallis to Eugene.
The l'.iiL'ene. which came here las

running from llanishurg to Mnreiie.

and L W Lee, Miperintendeiit of the
river division.
Iu the presence of President Wilkins
or the hoard or trade und a U I'AUl) re
porter, Mr Campbell, general freight
agent, mudo some very Haltering
statements iu rcghrd to the uper
river. lie stated that he was very
much surprised to llud the river from
llarrisburg to Eugene in so (rood
shape ft,r navigation a it Is. lieai
Mint the Gypsy left llarrisburg with
the water nt a stage of five feet at that
place and experienced no dilllculty in
reaching this city, though the river
was settling very rapidly, and hud
fallen a foot In the lust 1'4 hours. He
is confident that the boat can come
here with 40 tons of freight when the
river stands four feet at llarrisburg
and when the river Is at a good stage
the isiat can carry 00 tons. Me stated
that so long as the river did not get
Mow the f..ur ft art stage at Hards-
burg the Gypsy would make weekly
trips to Eugei e, arriving hereon Mon
day afternoons.
In regard to hauling O C & E
freight, Mr Cumpbcll denied the state
meut that his company had refused to
Haul any freight for the turn er when
coming to Eugene. He stilted that

and that thev would not uiscrlmlnati
They had OC&E freight on board
this trip and wmld haul it whenever
they could get It,
Speaking nt the upier river Im
provement, Mr Campbell said that
the trouble between llarrisburg and
Eugene is that the Willamette is
spread over too much country. "T
my surprise," he said, "I find t lie riv
er In better condition for navigation
between llarrisburg and Eugene than
it Is between Corvallis ami llarrisburg.

Cleveland Givt's Hie Yuieziielm
Question Atlealiia
. Uoruiuenl lull ol Puirlollem.
Wasiii.noton. Die 17. Picsident
Cleveland submitted to congress today
the following message, on the Venezu
elan question:
In my annual message addressed to
congress, on the lliinl instant, 1 called
attention to the pending boundary
controversy between Great Britain and
tbe republic f ene.uelii, and recited
the substance of the representation
made by the government to her Hri
tannic majesty's government, suggest
ing the rersous why such disputes
should be submitted to arbitration for
settlement, and inquiring whether It
would be k submitted.
The answer of the llritish govern
ment, which was then awaited, has
since been received, and together with
the dispatch to which It Is a reply, Is
hereto uiqiendcd. tiuch reply is em
bodied In two communications ad
dressed by the llritish prime minister
to Sir John Puuuivforte, (he llritish
ambassador at this capital. It will be
seen that one of these communications
is devoted exclusively to observations
upon the Monroe doctrine, and claims
are made that in the present instance
a new and stiunge extension and de
velopment of tills doctrine Is Insisted
on by the United States, and that the
reasons Justifying an appeal to the
doctrine enunciated by President
Monroe, are generally Inapplicable "to
the state of things in which we live at
the present day," and especially Inap
plicuble to the controversy involving
Hie boundary line between Great Rrl:-
ui ii mid Venezuela. Without attempt
ing extended arguments in reply to
there positions, it may not lie amiss to
suggest that the doctrine upon which
we stuml Is strong and sound, because
its enforcement is important to our
country anal safety as a nation, und
essential to the integrity of our free
institutions and the tranquil mainte
nance of our distinctive form of gov
ernment. It was intended to upply to
every stage of our nutionul life, und
cannot la-come obsolete while our le-
public endures. If the balance of pow
er is Justly a cause for Jealous unxiety
among the governments of the Old
World, and the reason for our absolute
noninterference, none the less Is the
observance of the Monroe doctrine of
vital concern to our people and their
government.
Assuming, therefore, that we may
properly In. 1st upon the doctrine
w ithout regard to "the state of (hint's
in which we live." or lo any chunked
conditions, here or elsewhere, It I" not
apparent why its application muy not
ne invoKCd in (tie present controversy.
ii a r.uropean power, by extens.on of
its boundaries, takes ossession of the
territory of one of our neighboring re
publics against Its will and in deroga
tion of its rights, It is dilllcult to aee
why, to that extent, such European
power does not thereby attempt to
extend its system of government to
that portion of this continent which Is
bus mlt'ii. This Is (lie precise act hill
l 'resident Monroe declared to bo "dan-
treruus (o our peace and suf. ty," and It
can muKo no diitereuce whether the
Europcun system is extended by an
uc; vance oi iroutier or otherw ise.
It Is also suggested ill the llritish
reply that we should not seek to apply
tho Monroe doctrine lo the nendiuir
dispu'e becuuse "It does not embody
any principle of International law
which is founded on the generul con
sent of nations," and th:it no states
man, however powerrul, lscouiH?tent
to Insert into the code of International
luw a novel piiuciplo which was never
recognized before and which has not
since been accepted by the government
of any other country. Practically, the
principle for which we contend bus u
iccilllar ir not exclusive relation to the
United Hlates. It may not have been
admitted, In so. many words, to the
code of International law, but since in
international counsels every nation is
entitled (a have the rights belonging
to It enforced, the Monroe doctrine is
something we may Justly claim has Its
place in the code of International law
as certainly and as securely as if it
were speclllcudy mentioned, and
where the United (Stales Is a suitor
la-fore the high tribuuul that adminis
ters international law the question to
be determined Is whether or not we
present claims which the justice of
that code of laws can find lo be rlaht
and valid.
The Monroe doctrine finds Its recog
nition In those principles of Interna
tional law which are. bused upon the
theory thuteyery nution shall have Its
rights protected and Us Just claims
enforced. Of course, this government
is entirely contldont that under the
sanction of this doctrine we have clear
rights and undoubted claims. Nor is
this Ignored In the llritish reply. Tbe
rime minister, while not udmittlug
(hut the Monroe doctrine is applicable
to the present conditions, slates that
resident Monroe adopted a policy
hich received the entire sympathy f
i English government of that dale.
lie further declares "though the lan
guage of I'reklduitt Monroe is directed
the atluiumeiit or oldetts which
most Englishmen would agree to be
nlutary, it Is impossible to admit that
they have been Inscribed by any ade-
qtia'e authority iu the Code of Interna
tional law."
Again, he ny: '.'Tliej (her uuiieaty's
govertiuiunt) fully concur with the lew
bleu President Monroe apparently en
ruined that any disturbance of exist
ing h-rrltoilul distilbutinn in Unit licin-
phere by anr fre-h acn-il-ltioc. on the
ur( of any Knropeuii state w uuid be a
highly Inexpedient change."
In 1 lie belief that the ooctilne fur
hieli we contend wsi clear und definite
that It wui founded upon tubetaotlal
considerations, ami Involved our safely
and tteldre; tliat it wns lully applicable

ol settling I lie question, In tlio end that
the vexatious boundary dispute between
tnu two contestants uiiL'lit be deter

clear.
It will be .ecu Irom the corrcrpon
dmce herewith submitted that this
proposition has been declined by (he
British government, upon grounds
which, miller the ciicuiiistiinces, seem
to me to be far Irom natisfnetorv. Ills

eerneu uuui'csscu to the sense ot lust lee
of ore of tho great powers of the world,
aim touching us relations to one com
pnratively weak and small, should have
produced no bt Iter results. The course
to be pursued bv (his vovernment in
view of the present condition does not
appear to admit of serious doubt. Hav
ing nihorcd fnillifully for many year lo
iiiuiico ureal llrituln to submit his dis
pute to impartial arbitration, and hav
ing been now finally apprised of her re
fusal lo do so, nothing remains but to
accept the slliuiliou, to recognize its
plain requirements, and lo deal with it
accordingly.
Ureal Britain's present proposition
tin. never thus far been regnrded os ad
missible by Venezuela, i hough any ad
justment ol the boundary which that
country may deem for her advantage
and may enter Into ol her owu free will,
cannot, of course, bo objected to bv the
I nilod States. Attuning, however,
that the altitude of Venezuela will re
main unchanged, the dispute has reucti
ed sum a stage as lo make It now In
cumbent upon the United States lo lake
measures lo del ermine with siilllctent
certainty for Its jiistlllcatlon what is the
true divisional lino between the republic

qulry to that end should, of course, be
conducted carefully and judicially, and
due weight be given all aviilluhlu evl
uc nee, records and fuels In support ol

In order thai such an rx:iiiiiiia(ln
should be prosecuted In a thorough and

appointed by the executive, who shall

it is a grevlous thing to contemplate the

l'nllr Guard, Pcccnilr 17.
Fire broke out iu the Indies dormi
tory of (ho statu normal school at
Drain ubout II o'clock lust night.
About 13 or 30 ludy students board In
the dormitory and had retired for the
night. They were aroused by the
smoko which filled the hallways and
rooms of the building Just in lime to
escape. Nearly all of the occupunta
rushed out in thiu night clothes, not
having time to complete their ward
robe. Tho ladles' dormitory Is a larire two-
story, fru mo building. It Is heated by
not air, ami (he lire started from the
furnace In the basement. The build
ing being built of wood burned rery
rapidly, and scarcely anvlhlnir was
saved. The students lost nearly all
their clothing and books. The peobla
of Drain kindly furnished shelter and
cioiiniig for the unfortunate students.
Mining the occupants of the dormi
tory were several young ladles from
r.ugeuo and I. sue county.
i ne noya' dormitory will now nrob-
ably be turned over to the girls, and
the r inner will take rooms up town
until a new building is erected.
Didn't Say Much. .
A Corvallis Gazetteliian tried to In
terview I) L lloniu-r. but about all he
learned was that he had lust run un lo
seo Manager Stono while in Portland;
but bo did present this much:
"We ha vo been com I el led to build
practically a new road and until the
present work is finished we will not
luke steps toward building branch
lines." Asked iu regard to the busi
ness of tho road Mr llonnersaltl: "We
have been doing our share. Until the
present rale war was Inaugurated be
tween the O. It. &. N. and Southern
Pacific companies tho trulllo of tbe O.
C. & E. was fully up to our expecta
tions, but wo are begliilng to fsel It
bad ellects and should it continue our
business may sillier considerably. This
rale war, Mr Homier believed, was
proving a losing game not only to
transportation Hues Involved but also
to the stute, ns It was taking thousand
of people, to CiillfoinU and they are
spending thousands of dollurs abroad."
Which doesn't look much as if the 8 P
was in It at all.
