AND IMMEDIATE POSSESSION GIVEN.
A Local Board ;oI Immigration
ganlzed.
In response to the announcement in
Thursday's daily there wan a fair attend
ance of the business men of the cily at
the court house to hear B. 6. Faguo'e ad
dress on the subject of immigration to
Oregon. D. 8. K. Buick was chosen
chairman, and C. H. Fisher, secretary.
The chairman then introduced Mr.
Paguo, who, very pleasantly and fori-
bly, in a bualseas point of view, pointed
out tho advantages to Douglaa county to
bo derived through a board of Immigra
tion here.
The speaker referred to the depression
in business as toi, tho fact. But, not
withstanding the hard times, the people
of Portland, by tunned action by the
means' of a board1 of Immigration had
raised a fond of about f32,000. Tho
movement will prove a succoss and tho
liberal donors to the fund will get their
money back with big interest through an
increase of their business. Ho thought
that Roseburg's business men might do
as well and even better on account of
our superior natural advanlagre good
and abundant soil and unsurpased cli
matic conditions.
Sir. Pogue stated that through tho
means of liberal advertising by interested
parties a large number of emigrants have
been induced to leave the northern
states aud go south, but that many of
them on account of excessive warmth in
summer were not satisfied and were
seeking a more! equable climate, ar.d
that if Oreirou would put forth the
requisite effort theso dissatisfied home
seekers migbtibo induced to coruo to this
state. But'tbia requires a liberal uso oi
money and business tact in manage
ment. The enterpriseniust be managed
with a determination to make it succeed,
The board must bo prepared to furnish
immigrants all the information concern
ing our advantages. In addition to pre
pared literature specifically setting forth
our advantages, tue local papers in
which the buiness of the couuty as
weekly and daily given must bo on hand
to send for parlies calling for them,
which is a sourco of information more re
lied on by prospective, immigrants than
those slowing accounts too often made
by those specially prepaled publications
At the close of Mr. Pague's address,
A. H. Devers, his co-laborer m the work,
made a few remarks in accord wi'h Mr.
Paguo's very interesting remarks, that
elicited great applause.
Iter the addresses of the Portland
gentlemen, several of our business men
were called on for remarks, and re
sponded, none of whom questioned the
feasibility of the plan if prosecuted on
business principle and with energy.
After the speech making was oyer, the
meeting proceeded to organize a board of
immigration which, it was decided,
should be composed of seven directors.
The following gentlemen were elected
viva voce: T. R. Sheridan, II. C. ".Stan
ton, S. C. Flint, John Aiken, Geo. Estes,
It. M. Conkling and C. II. Fisher. The
meeting then adjourned.

TELEGRAPH NEW
Over In Spain.
Madrid, March 25. A majority of the
newspapers here spring pessimistic com
ment upon the Cuban discussion at
Washington, and point to tho fact that
throo senators upon tho joint committee
have distinguished themselves by show
ing ill will for Spain. These newspapers
claim that this is not a reassuring symp
tom, and nrge tho government to pre
pare for every eventuality. They de
clare that, while tho vote on belligerent
rights has not been finally carried, the
conflict continues. The press also refers
to the fact that the Spanish squadron re
mains in Spanish waters, ready to depart
at any moment. The official press, how
ever, takes a more optimistic view of the
situation.
More Rioting.
Barcelona, March 25. Alter the mu
nicipal band bad played a pariotic
march a few students became extra en
thusiastic and burned n small American
flag and marched in the direction of the
United States consulate. The "patriots,"
however, were dispereed by the polico
before reaching the consulate. The
United States consul was standing on
tho balcony and witnessed the gathering
of the groups of people without being
molested. The public, however, ex
pressed indignation at the attitude of the
consul, declaring it to be "provoking."

at tho daylight session today. It was 1
o'clock before the convention was called
In order. This delay was tho result of

committees. Tho Reed forces demanded
of Cuney a full representation on com
mittees for their support in electijg him

At a late hour tonight the 'convention

Successfully Landed.
Havana, .March 1'u. lne most im
portant events in Cuba within a week
hftvo been the successful landing of the
Collazo and the Calisto Garcia cspedi
tions, the one near Cardenas, at Vara
dero beach, the other, the Bermuda, in
tho harbor of Manel on the north coast
of Tinar del Rio, only a few miles west
of the border line of Havana province.
to tue insurgents, strong already in
everything but equipment and ammuni
tion, these successful landings are likely
to bo more far-reaching in their effects
than the winning of a gfe-it battle. The
landing of the expeditions, particularly
tho cargo of the Bermuda, msaus that
empty cartridge belts will be filled in a
thousand camps, and that thousands of
sturdy fellowe, hitherto unarmed, will
now carry modern rifles, and that ilyna
mite will again become a factor in this
warfare. The Bermuda, so farasknotvn,
lauded her entire cargo without having
been molested or even challenged.
pearance than two cigar boxes connected
by ten feet of wire, one of which is called
by its inventor the transmitter, the other
the receiver. In front of tho receiver a
piece of tourmaline or Iceland spar is
placed, aud to this the eye of the person
testing the apparatus is placed. In front
of the opening in the transmitter is
placod a lighted candle, and immediately
the eye perceives tho flame of the candle
though ten feet distant, and in an adjoin
ing room. For the purposes of experi
ment tho tourmaline of the receiver is
removed, and although the lighted can
dle remains at tho transmitter, no light
is seen'
Dr. Close, in speaking of his discov
ery, said : "My apparatus is simply a
soft iron msgnetjnclosed in a box con
nected by 10 feet of .wire, with a similar
soft magnot'at the other end. A lighted
candle placed in front of the opening in,
one bos by means of thoso invisible
properties excites a current of electricity
which is transmitted to the other mag
net and there reconverted into its origi
nal form. By interposition of a prism
the light is reproduced. It seems to me
possible to develop thi3 discovery of,
mine into a means of enabling man to
see great distances. In my present ap
paratus only about 10 feet of wire is used,
but the result would be the same with 10
miles.
By a perfected telectroscope photo

of photographs around the world in as

Rudini Interviewed.
Rome, March 27. Marquis di Rudini
is not downcast at Saturday's vote,
said in an interview :
"I have a thoroughly sincere friend

Every Italian statesman, from Cavour
down, has regarded British friendship
and alliance as the highest objects of
our policy. This does not stand in the
way of my Eincerely desiring good rela
tions with France.

"As to the situation in Italy, the vote

more alarming. The revolt may spread
to other parts of South Africa. Settlers
in Matabeleland ore flocking into town,
which is being placed in a condition for
defense.
Reinforcements of mounted police

Maxim guns aro being hurried to Bala

Matepo hills. Rumor has it that over
50 have been slain.
Frederick C, Selous, the well-known

himself during the, Matabele war, will
shortly start for the front at the head of

An intimate friend of Signor Crispi
says that the Marquis di Rudini's asser

The originals of these dispatches are
in existence at the ministry of war, and
copies are now on file at the telegraph
offices at Rome and Massowah.
The Turkey embassy denies the news

In a Spanish Prison.
New YoBk, March 27. A Herald spe-
from Havana says:
Walter Dygert, an American, 24 years
of age, whose whereabouts since his ar
rest in Cuba a month ago have been
somewhat of a mystery, and whose case
was the Eubject of a Epecial resolution
offered in the United States senate re
cently, is in the town jail in Guinea.
Dygert says he was sitting by the road
when a column of troops arrested him,
and that he had never associated him
self with the insurants. After his.ar-
rest it was said he was a well known in
surgent chief called EI Inglesito.
Dygert came from Idaho here on a
prospecting tour. He makes no com
plaint of any bad treatment during his
month in Gaines jail, bat is anxious to
be released and go home. Consul-Gen-
eral Williams will lay a letter from him
before Captain-General Weyler.

C. D. Vaughn, manager of the West

at the foot of West Fifty-fifth street, says
be has about completed an invention by
the use of which it will be possible to
telephone across the ocean. He says
that with the use of his invention he
has distinctly heard over a wire the
ticking of a watch 1500 miles away.
'The reason it is impossible to tele
phone more than 1C00 miles by the Bell
method," said Mr. Vaughn, "is because
the induction coil and transmitters now
in use will not Etand a greater electric
power than six volts coming from four

succeeded in perfecting an improved
combination of induction coil and trans
mitter that will permit the use of 40 or
