Santa ltAitBARA, Cal., May 10; Tho
battle-ship Oregon dropped anchor in
the channel at 11 o'clock this morning,
outside tho kelp. An Associated Press
reporter was tho first aboard. In an in
terview, Irving M. Scott said ;
It will bo Tuesday before we get off
on the trip. Tho stateboats have to get
into position off tho ranges. This must
ba carefully and accurately done. The
position of the stakeboats will be as fol
lows: At tho eastern end, opposite Go-
leta wharf, the Uniulilla; the McArthur
at tho western rauge, 31 miles north
from the start; tho" Albatross off Gavita
wharf ; the Gedney at a point midway
between tho Unadilla and the Albatross,
about 10 miles apart.
"The run down was mo3t satisfactory.
Wo left the whistling buoy off the bar at
10:13 Saturday, tho engines making
rovohr i of 95W, with an averago
speed of 13) knots. We arrived at Poit
Harford at 12 o'clock. From Port Har
ford to Point Conception, wo loafed
along until daylight, to catch beacons
and become familiar with the course.
Hku u 'hither up' and made time
from tliU point to tho lowcr;'iang- at a
rate of 10.34 knots, for a distance of 13
or IS miles."
Enthusiasm aboardehip is upbouudd,
and the record of the MaiSJchusells, of
10.15 knots, is doomed, crowning the
Oregon queen, and placingjjer at the
very front among chips of her.chss in all
the navies of the world. '

New Yoiik, May II. .t dispatch to
the Herald from St. Petersburg says:
General Shvendorff, head of tho Hes
sian Red Cross Society, and leader of the
expedition to Abyssinia, telegraphs, fay
ing that he and hb party liareflbcen. re
ceircd with open arms, ;audatUatltlie
Xejtus, Menelik, is maklngx tensive
preparations for Iheir-passBgoito Herat.
The Novo Vremya saya that England's
fear "about Herat is unfeunded. Tlie
Red Cress expedition to Abyssinia left
Odessa early in Apiii. Thi3 Is the third
exreditian to Abyssina. Tlio first u&deri
the Cossack Ahinoff, left iu-Deceraber,
15S3, and endeil bv being shelled by the
French a? Sagollo. The second, which !
was calls 1 a tcientific mission, left about
IS months ag-?, and resulted in the ar
rival in .m. Petersburg of u ioliti'nl em
bassy from the negus with a special mis
sion, respecting the religion ot tue Kus-
sian church and the faith professed by
the Abyssinians. The present mission,
under the command of General Shven
dorff, assisted by everal military offi
cers, consisted cf about SO members, oi
which the medical staff numbers six
dcctois and 12 nurses. Of the other
members of the expedition, little is
stated, except that one- is a priest, who
is taking 20,003 small crosses to be dis
tributed among the Abyssians. It is ex
pected in Russian official circ!e3 that
this expedition will givo Russia that
looting in Abyssinia which sho ha s been
so patiently trying to obtain.
Weyjcr I Irritated,
Madhiu, May 11. The- Spanisu pre
mier, t-cner Lanovas del l astulo, and
the United Stale. minister, had a confer
enco today, the result .of which is not
known. It is reported that Captain-
General Weyler has.cabled tho Spanish
government that tho Spanish authorities
are hampered by tho "irritating meddling
of America in Cuban affairs."'
It is understood that the United States
I government has presented fresh claims
for heavy indemnities through tho losses
on sugar plantations belonging to Amer
icans, being burned by tho insurgents.
It is expected that these demands will
lead to further complications.

The EecoLd tragedy occurred in Madi

The last of this bloody series occurred

Oat Crop in Willamette Valley Short.
W. T. Smith, who has just returned to
Eugene from a trip over Lace and Linn
counties, iniorms the Oregoniau that
there will not be 5 per cent of the oats
raittd in these counties that there was
last j ear. that the low prico of oats last
year was discouraging to farmers, and
they have, as a result, largely aban
doned that crop this year. Many who
had contemplated sowing sptiug oats
have been so delayed ly by the continu
ous raius that they have given up sow
ing any more this year. In ono section
of Laue county, where thero were 1500
acres oi oats last year, thero are only SO
acres now, and that is a fair proportion
of the two counties. Other Willimctto
valley counties are neatly in tho same
proportion. Oregoniau.

LOOK OUT FOR JAPAN.
Her Cheap Labor is Undermining
American Industries.
Mr. Janus McWilliams, of tho flour
mid firm of McWilliams & Co., of Sps
kane, ftas just letnrned from China,
where he has been fori lj years looking
after the interest of his firm at Hong
Kong. Mr. McWilliams is registered at
tho Imperial, and to a reporter of The
Oregonian yesterday furnished some
very interesting information. He has
traveled exteneively throughout China
and Japan, and, being a close observer
of men and events, was in a position to
give inside facts not generally known of
the situation in both China and Japan.
Commercially, Mr. McWilliams says
this country is more' in danger-from tho
iuroads of Japan on American industries
than all the other countries put together,
and nothing but a return of tho McKin
ley protection tariff, rigidly enforced
against Japan, will ever save the manu
facturing industries of this country. In
this connection Mr. McWilliams sajs :
"I want to warn the American people
against the Japanese, who are gradually
branching out in all cla?se3 of manufact
uring interests. I tenturc to say that
they are putting up more spindles today
than there are today in the wholeof the
Uniled States. The Japs are working
for wsges not much above those of the
Chinese coolies. There is a population
of about 40,000,000 ia Japan, aud a large
majority of it will work, on an average,
for 25 cents a day in silver based on the
value of a Mexican dollar, which would
make it about 11 cents a day - of Air.eri
mouey. The Japanese workman is
bright, intelligent and tireless. The
manufacturers are already importing raw
cotton largely from the United States to
supply their rapidly increasing cotton
mills. They arc also starting boot and
shoe factories in large numbers, and
representatives from that country are
now quietly traveling all over America
and Europe studying the situation and
purchasing machinery and the latest
improvements for use in all kinds of
manufacture.
"They claim to be able to invade every
commercial port in the world with Japanese-made
goods, Just as soon as they
get in condition to do eo, which will not
be long, in view of the activity displayed
by them in the matter. They can man
ufacture anything and everything in the
way of machinery, if I hey only have
plans and models to work from, and
these they are stealthily securing from
every corner ot this United States
Their success in this respect is apparent
to every foreigner who visits the shops
and factories of Japan today
''Tho United State3 needs a McKioIey
tariti in the tulles: sense of the word to
protect u?, not against the cheap labor of
Europe only, but principally against
Japan.
"The Japanese workman, like the Chi
nese toolie, cau live on what an Ameri
can would slowly staive !o death, and
mat. is the scorer, ot cheap wages over
there. I will cite you an instance in
Hong Kong which will illustrate the
case in Japan. About a year ago there
was a strike in Hcng Kong amont: the
coolies as the result of some regulation
made by the English government. This
antagonized the leaders oi the Chinese,
and in order to have the obnoxious rule
can'.eleJ, they recommeadeJ a strike of
all the coolie carriers in the place. These
are the men who discharge all ships
carrying tho freight on poles. The strike
commenced May IS aad lasted to April
4, uunng wnicu time ail nusiness was
paralyzed, all shipping laviug in the har
bor unable ta discharge. I had a large
shipment of flour on cue of the vessels
at the time, and consequently was one of
the sufferers, on aecoar.t of that strike
I visited many of tho Chinese merchants
and inquired how loDg the strike would
last, and the answer was characteristic
namely, "so long as the t-oaliea could buy
rico." I asked how much it cost a man
to live, ana the general estimate was
that a Chinese coolie could live, under
such circumstances, on 00 cents a month
that he could live well on $1 '20 a month
aud sumptiously on $2 n month.
-Now, bear in mtml, that Japan is
biunhflv situated as regards the costs of
living for her working class, aud that is
the problem that stares every American
wurkingman in the face at the present
time.

VANDERBURO'S SPEECH.
W. S. Vanderburg, populist candidate
for Congress, spoke at tli3 conrt house,
Monday afternoon snd evening to a
rather small audience, about euualle
Hvided as t numbers between thy
three parties. His evening speech was
substantially the same as in the after
noon. Mr. Vanderburg come3 out
squarely for fiat mouey. He said it is
the government stamp that gives money
its value without regard to the material
which bears the stamp, whether gold,
silver, paper or leather cr any other
material. To prove which he referred
to the $62,030,000 greanbacks first issued
by the government. Sixty two million
dollars of fiat money it was redeemed
and destroyed burned up. This he re
garded as a crime, burning up fiat
money, good as gold.
He stated that the silver dollar was
the legal unit measure standard for
money till 1S73; that then the standard
was changed to gold, and in consequence
as per hi3 reasoning, hard times resulted,
the full force of which we all feel. He
said we had free coinage till 1834 on the
silver standard ; that at that time gold
had become more valuable than silver,
the gold dollar was changed reduced
from 27 grains to 25.8 grains, instead of
increasing the number of grains in the
standard silver dollar. This fact he re
garded as proof positive that silver was
the real standard of nnit measure of
alues.
He asserted that the per capita of cir
culation at tbo close of the war was
about $5S. In that Mr. Vanderburg ia
mistaken. Like all populists he figures
the government indebtedness as part of
our circulation. L. P. McCarty, an ac
knowledged authority in statistics, says
that in 1S05 the per capita was $20.57,
which was the highest amount till 18S1
hen it was $21.71 and has been increas
ing ever since till now it is $24.33, the
highest in the history of the nation.
On the tariff question, which he merely
touched upon, as it was, in his estima
tion, a matter of slight importance, he
got a little "rattled" and tangled biin-
elf up so with export and import statis
tics under the McKinley and Wilson
taiiffs that he couldn't tell "tother from
which," and neither ccutd his hearers.
If we understood him rightly, (of which
we ate by no means sure the impression
io sought to convey was that under the
McKinley tariff our exports were less
and oar imports more thau under tha
present laws, while directly the opposite
is the case. However, he didn't waste
muck time on the tariff, but switched
back to silver again where he was more
at home, and to the initiative and refer
endum, which is to restore our country
from the ills that have befallen it under
republican and democratic misrule.
COMMUNICATED.
Editor Puisdealer : Allow U3 to
call the attention of the voters of Doug
las county to the great complement paid
the A. P. A. organization in last Mon
day's Review, over the signature of one
George W. Brown," where ho names
certain candidates on the republican and
populist tickets in this county. There
were but 29 members of the association
in the late republican convention out of
93 persons there, rtqaiiiog 51 to nomi
nate. Now, we hear on every hand that
the present republican ticket is one of
the very best ever presented here, and
the fact that so many of them are A. P.
A.'s according to Brown 13 deserved
praise of the order. Allowing that all
tha A. P. A.'s in the convention voted
together (which we know they did not),
there were, then, over SO of as good men
as there is in Douglas county (not A. P.
A.'s) who voted forevery candidato nom
inated. So this fellow- does the matter
up "Brown" in good shape, for which,
thanks.
Bu, by the way, who ia this tiwout
affiant, George W. Brown? Is In; tr
ing to steal uotoriety by thd similarity
to the name of our talented prosecuting
attorney, Geo. M. B:owu, who has been
attending to his dnties in Coos county
for the past two weeks? We do know
one Geo. W. Brown who, immediatelv
after the late city election here, joined
Council Xo. :2, A. P. A., as au alleged
carpenter, age 35), and at once applied
to the city council for a position as
nightwatch. The council in the interest
of ecouomv decided not to appoint anv
