DECEMBER 14. 1.
The War for Freedom.
Washington, Ihc. 10. Tbe eenate
got into tbe regular channel of bctinets
today taking op the immigration bill
and partly pirfecting i', and also heir
ing tbe firtt of the speeches on Cuba,
those of Callocn auJ Call. The disposi
tion to pat throuzh tbe inimigratidi. bill
was ebown by tbe defeat of a motion by
Gideon of Maryland to postpone until
after tbe holidays. Only 13 votes, all
democrat;, e:e given in favor of the
postponement. Tbe proposition served
to involve Chandler, Lodge and Gibson
in reveral spirited personal colloquies.
The bill was aot passed upon up to the
time of adjournment, wit the senate
agreed to a hat is generally knoan a;
thi Lodge bill, as a s-ibstitute to tbe
home measure. The substitute requires
that all iasi!;t.a over the age of 14
years shall b able to read and write
their native language and shall be rt
jaired to read and write in ths presence
o! an United States official certain lines
of the United States constitution. Tbe
Cuban speeches of Collom a ad Call were
HiteceJ to by crowded galleries, in
dicating the public interest felt in the
subject. The senate adjourned over to
Monday.
Pending the preparation of tbe next
appropriation bill, the bouse a;ain today
devoted its time to tne consideration of
bills on the calendar, bat only two were
passed daring the focr-hou-s teuton.
One of them was a bill which the promi
nent playwrights and theatrical mana
gers of the country hare been labcring
for some years to induce congress to
pass. The purpose of tbo measure is
twofold; first, to secure to musical com
positions the eajne measure cf protection
under tbe copywrigbt law zs ia now
afforded productions of strictly dramatic
character; and, second, to add, by
proper court injunction processes, this
protection to the autoors of dramatic and
operatic works. The bill imp.sa a fine
of $100 for the first, and f50 fur each
abieqaent unauthorized production. A
bill to prohibit tbe sale cf liqaor in the
capitol building was also pasted. A bill
advocated by the delegates from the
territories, to modify the law forbidding
the alien ownership of lands ira tbe
territories so as to give them the right to
acquire under mortgage and to bold for
10 years, real property, was defeated.
An important bill to transfer the rights
of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, under
its charier, to the mortgages when they
reorganize the roid, was postponed until
Taeeday next.
Rolling Mills Strike.
San Francisco, Dc. 10. A cut in tbe
wages of skilled workmen in the Pacific
rolling mills at the Potrero has caused a
strike wbich has practically suspended
all operations in the big iron manufact
ory. About 50 men walked out and
their action cnt off the means of employ
ment of about 50 others. It is believed
that some time today a compromise will
be effected, and the wheels of industry
set in motion again.
The most important factor in the
strike is that tbe men were informed tbat
they had been working for over a week
nnder a new scuednle of rates of which
they were ignorant. There are no indi
cations of any trouble of a violent nature.
In the first place, thero are no iron
workers of this class on this coast, and
tbe places of tbe strikers could only be
filled by an importation from the Hast.
This is not likely to take place, aa tha
Eastern workmen receive as good wages
as the men here did before the cut.
Tbe etnkw ae lowing forward to an
earlv 8cU!.vu-n ;aue din under
stand that the rolling mill lias u con
tract to get out a large quantity ol extra
large street-car rails for a company in
Los Angeles.
Havana UelnR Fortified.
New Yokk. Dec. 11 The work of
streiJKtbening the fortifications about
Havana is heing pushed with noticeable
energy. Guns are being placed on
the heights around tbo city, all pointing
toward the eea. Tbe fortificatioiiG of the
port of Mantazas also are being etrength

The Philippine Rebellion.
San FitaNcibCo, Dec. 10. The eteamei
China today brought advicci concerning
the progress of the insurrection in the
I'hillippine island. It is stated that the
rebels are gaining in etrengtb and
practically control tbe districts outside
of Meniia, although the Spanish govern
ment strives to create the impretsion
that tbe rebellion it practicrlly subdued.
The origin tfthe uprising is escribed
to excessive taxation and despotic rule,
and tbe statement of tbe Spanish gov
ernor that native priojts started the re
bellian for ligions purposes is denied.
Captured rebels and prisoners sus
pected of favoring the rebels are treated
with great cruelty, and nil sorts of in
digniti "aro heaped npon the captives
takt-u in the field.
Tbe shipping of prioaern to tbe Afri
can (denies continues, and ICO rebels
were ehipjied on October 'J9.
Djriug the October campaign the reb
els captured the town u( .Montalban and
San Metro. 10 miles from Manila. It is
said tbe foreigu residents r-ymiathize
with the retelf.

.Macco Is not Dead.
New Yoke, Dec 11. De'.ejate To mas
Eilrada Palma, when asked if tho addi
tional information regarding General
Msceo'a death bid in any way influenced
his former opinion as to the veracity of
the news, said :
"Not in the least. 1 cannot accept
the reports so far published as conclu
sive evidence ol General Maceo'e death.
I have just received a Ky Wet rablo
dispatch from my agent in Havana,
Baying: 'Maceo pas'ed tbe ticcha De
cember 0. F-eport of death abeolutely
false. You may contradict it upou my
responsibility.' "
Besides the above telegram, Senor
Palma exhibited several other dis
patches from places in Furore and
America, askicg him for information re
gaidicg Maceo. Among the cable
grams one received from a wealthy Cu
ban in Paris, reads: "Cable us about
Maceo. I place 10,C00 at your dijpoeal.
Let ns not dismay. Go ahead."
Another cable d is;--itch from Porto
Plata, San Domingo, says: "Cubans
and sympathizers request further infor
mation a to Maceo's fate. Accept as
surance of our devotion to tbe cause.
We will place 100 rifles at jour disposi
tion." Articles Taken From the Bodies.

hotiEu to grant time for tho consideration
of tho Nicaragua caual bill reported from

The Funding: Bill.
Washington, Dec. 10. The rile fixing
January oih as the day for bringing up
tbe Pacific railroad funding bill in the
house has been drawn and probably will
be recommended. Several inducers -ol
the Pacific railroad committee will be

propriation bills, bo it is confcidered im
practicable to deal with tin railroad
question before the receee.
PARLOR ENTERTAINMENT.
In the McClallen parlor labt Thurs
day a spirited entertainment uce im
provised by Mrs. Bracket and one of the
noted guests of the house, Hen. W. E.
Yates. The entertainment ecnsis'ed of
several soogs villi her own rccompan:
ment on the plan", by Jlrs i. .

prano singers in Douglas. C.'W. Toer,
of Sherman Clay & I Jo. piano pianufact-
uring company of Portland, t-an and
plajed some choice selections. Josiah
Powell also sang several bcntimental
songs and played on his harp he said
it was a Jew's harp, but he took it from
his pocket so it evidently was hia own.
David Houston, our atfable conductor
on ttie I ., was present ami was
pressed into service and Hang, "Old
Black Joe" with euch happy tfiect tbat
he was enchored twice, and the way ho
came dow n on loer C was a caution as
his voice trilled "0:d Black Joe" at end
ol chorus.
And again Friday evening Mrs. Short

flacco Assasiinated.
The story of the death of Antonio
Macea could not be believed until i' was
confirmed fiom Cuban source?. The
version received by mail at Jacksonville
is credible as to tbe main fact, .and ex
plains all tbe contradictions and itc
probabilitie in the Spanish version.
These were due to perversions of the tie
tails made by the Spaniard) to conceal
tbe fact tbat Maceo had ueen decoy eJ
into ambush by most shameful treach
ery and assassinated practically nnder a
tlag of truce. His murder was cs savage
an act of treachery a) tbat of General
Canby in the lava beds, and ranks Wey
ler lower in the scale of civilizilion than
Scar-Faced Ctiarlsy. It appear that all
the recent tlk of negotiation with tbe
insurgents wad part of a plot to lure
Maceo within reach of assassin, and
tbat the final trap was laid by one cf
Wejler's lieutenants and a corrupted
traitor who was eerviog Maceo as a sur
geon. Tots dastard y act cf bartaism
will not tend to abate public feeling in
tbe United S'ate. This may easily be
inflamed to the p:int ol demanding the
hunting of every Spanish brigand cut
of the Western hemisphere. Oregonian.
James Dixon Acquitted.
The trial of James Dixon for tbe mur
der of Charles Hice Juue 14th last, -nze
closed Friday at 10 o'clcck. The case
was argued at considerable length by
able counsel. Thirteen witnesses on be
half of the state and 41 on behalf of the
acccsed 54 in all gave their testimony
in this much dcploretl case.
Judge Fulletton delivered his chargo
to the jury Saturday morning at S
o'clock. It is printed in today's paper.
The jury immediately retired to their
rooja and proceeded, it is presumed, to
consider the case. On the first ballot
the poll ehowed 11 for 'acquittal and 1
for murder in second decree.
In laying these facts before cur re cd
ers we do not feeled;called upon to criti
cise or animadvert upon the lease. A
jury of 12 good and respectable men cf
our county heard all the testimuiiy sub
rnitted and were in possession of all the
material facts piesentcd, and being in
structed by the court as to the lav.s ill
relatiou to crimes of the character of
which the defendant was accused, have,
under the solemnity ol their oaths,
found a verdict of "not jmilty-"
"If my daughter should take my life,
I want the world to know that eho w.ih
net to blame. A strain of madness runB
through her father's family, and I would
rather die than be separated from her."
That was the answer of Mrs. Snrnh B.
Cooper to tho warning of her phvsiciau,
and Friday morning thu lifolesi body ol
her daughter and of herself were found
where death had come to them in the
nhjht. Mies Hattio Cooper had taken
