A Washington dispatch of Monday's date says: The minor that Lieut. Gen. Miles is a candidate for tho democratic nomination for president has been re vived as one of the developments follow ing tho publication of tho general's con fidential report to tho secretary of war relative to conditions in the Philippines. High officials of the army make no effort at concealment of their annoyance at tho attitude of Gen. Miles in this mat ter. They take the position that the report of tho commanding general of the army is a reflection the entire sevice, and they point to the fact that it is the first time in history that tho com mander of an army has made a icport reflecting upon the conduct of his army when engaged in war with a foreign power. With tho enforcement of the order against officers discussing sucli publications, the expressions of tome of the highest officers in tho service are prohibited. It is quite probable, how ever, that an otlicial statement may bo made later, reviewing the Miles report. It is alleged that most of the charges of atrocities referred to in the report have already been oilicially investigated and not sustained. Others of the charges are made by the general, as he admits in his report, upon hearsay testimony and without any effort at investigation on his part. It is believed here, particularly by opponents of Gen. Miles in the war de partment, that his report was prepared for the express purpose of appealing to the support of the anti-imperialists and the Carmack school of democrats, with the democratic combination for the pres idency in view. The first leouest for the detailed report came from the anti imperialist headquarters in Boston. This request was submitted by Mr. Root, secretary of war, to Gen. Miles, who replied that he had no objection to the publication. Mr. Root, it is known, did not want to make the report public He considered it confidential in natare and not intended for general circulation. It is understood that ho reluctantly consented that the report be made pub lie. believing that the anti-imperialists would distort it and furnish the country with garbled extracts from it, as they have of many other documents relating to conditions of the army in the Philip pines. It is asserted that a number of promi nent democrats awl anti-imperialist re publicans have been working for more than a year to bring influence to bear that would result in the nomination of Gen. Miles for tlie presidency on an anti-imperialist platform. The publica tion of the report, practically at Miles' request, is considered the latest step in furthering his presidential boom. Immigration Addresses. The Eugene Guard of recent date says : The Eugene Real Estate Exchange was addressed this morning by General Passenger Agent W. E. Coman and Agent Geo. McKinney, of the Harriman Bureau of Information and Advertising. These gentlemen arrived this morn ing from Portland. Mr. McKinney was a Eugene visitor last summer and fall when he laid the advantages of distributing literature among the Eastern districts where im migration was easy to secure. Tiio ad vice given then to the Southern por tions of the state has been well heeded and pamphlets of various descriptions have been issued and sent to the big distributing agencies of the Harriman system. "Over 700,000 pieces of literature have been distri buted in the past few months among people who want to come west," said Mr. McKinney to a Guard reporter this morning. "We have a total of a million and a half pieces to handle and the work is going steadily on. " I he need we now hare to deal with is that of keeping the people moving. Easterners have been started west and we have to keep them going until they get out here. It is like herding a flock of sheep. The ram must be started in the direction you want him to go and then the sheep must be urged to follow. "It will all be accomplished in due time. Oregon, in the next lew years, has before her one of the grandest peri ods of development known in her his tory. People will come here by the thousands. Tim Lewis and Clark Fair ill bring thousands more. You people want to keep alive to your interests here and you will get your share of the good fortune. Tho Willamette valley has a wonderful future." Mr. Coman spoke of the efforts of the railroads to co-operate with the immi grants and Oregon people in finding suitable homes for the former. He dis cussed various plans bv which this much desired end could be attained. STATE OF OHIO, CITY OF TOLEDO, f L,BCAB COUXTY. 1 Fkank j.

The United States Supremo Court Washington, on Monday decided the case of .lackson W. Giles vs. tho board of registrars of .Montgomery county, Ala. Giles is a colored man, who was denijd the privilege of registering as a voter under tho now constitution of Alabama, anil tho caMj was brought to test tho validity of the portion of tho stato con stitution bearing on this question. Tho relief sought was denied on tho ground that the case was political. Justice Holmes, who delivered tho opinion, said that for the court to interfere would be unhenrd-of relief in cises presenting only (tolitical questions. Justice Harlan dissented on the ground that the court bhonld have declined to assume jurU dictiou. Justkes Rrewer and Brown united in a distent, in which they uj held the jurisdiction of the fedcrul court i on the ground that as Giles was denied the right of voting for a member of Congress by the refusal of the right to register a federal question was in vol veil. The Free Methodist Church Was organized at Pekin, New York, on the day of August, 1SG0. They are a "body of Christians who profess to be in earnest to get to Heaven by conform ing to all the will of God as made known in his word." "They do not believe that either God or the Bible has changed to accommodate the fashion able tendencies of the age." In doc trine they are Methodists of the original stamp, and teach that it is the duty and privilege of every Christian to be sancti fied wholly, by faith subsequent to their conversion: and all persons uniting with them are exected to obtniu and enjoy this rich experience. They require simplicity am) plainness of apparel, abstinence from connection with all secret societies, and insist on practical godliness in all its character istics. In the government the members have an equal voire wiin the ministers in all councils of the church. They endeavor to proirote spirituali ty and simplicity in worship and oon- grezationat ringing without the use of instrumental mnsic is required ami uni versally practised. All the members ate expected to enjoy a genntne reli gious experience and to be active and earnest in spiritual work. In short all are expected to be whole-hearted Chris- tians. There are now thirty-eight annual conferences in the United State and Canada, and in the neighborhood of 30,000 members ; ami the church sup ports a number of Foreign Missionaries in India, Africa and Japan. Do a 20-Day Stunt. Rosebttrg should have a city chain gang. It the city lias no vag law, she hould make an ordinance to that effect. There is a mob of professional hob?, and ail-arottnd bums who infest the S. P. yards, lyimi around in the shady placer! alt the day long, ami when they get hungry go and beg from some of the honses, near by; when night comes they go to the bushes to spend the night. Most human beings have but one object in life, but those hobos differ from all other mankind. These hobo-! have four life objects; the first one is to never work, the second, to get enough to eat, the third is to gel all the sleep they want, and the fourth, to keep out of the way of the cops. If the city only had a chain gang for these hobos, and would make each man do a 'i0-dav stunt on the itreet, who cannot show- any visible means of support, the city and its citizens would gain instead of losing bv having these hobos beg- ing them for something to eat all the time. After the chain gang is well organized, and every thing moving along smoothly, the city should have a cop stationed at the yards. This cop should act as a kind of infor mation bureau, and guide, so that when the hobos alight from the train they mav not be forced to lose the time in quiring lor the city chain gang. Just about one of the stunts of 20 days' dura tion, on the city streets, will make the hobos right angry, and when they are turned loose "they won't come back any more ." Roseburg Heroes. Hobson was a hero, also Dewey and many others. These men wero heroes, because they did some act in which their lives were endangered. People praised and lauded them to the skies be cause they were not afraid to die. There are heroes walking on the streets of Roseburg every day who are passed by unheeded, heroes from the fact that they take their lives in their hand when walking along some of the sidewalks in Roseburg, when at any moment they make a false step, and fall in one of the holes which are in tho sidewalks, or by stopping on the end of a loose sidewalk plank and having tho other end uy up and hit you on the chin.

The Rev. Dr. R. A. Holland, of St. Louis, last Monday morning at a meet ing of the Evangelical alliance spoke on "Marriage and Divorce," and in witty, short sentences he depicted the kind of a woman who is responsible for what he was pleased to call ''the heredity of di vorce." The clubwoman was characterised as one who"smatters in knowledge," tak ing " dash of Dante, a smack of Shake speare." With her, he said, omatter is the mark ol intellect, she has io modest conviction that culture is not cul ture when it puffs and pants, and that there is no surer proof of its absence than a swayed back, stiff back, stiff neck, or lofty head." Dr. Holland advised women to find culture "in cooking a meal in the kitch en, preparing a chamber, or giving a kiss of affection to n child." The club woman, he said, "is away from home half the day, and she is still more away when she returns. She and her husband come together, but they do not meet. His mind ia far away her's is sailing around in the air. "She learns how to run a female cau cus, she is club president now; she will be president of a federation of fed erations. Her work increases, and sho has to employ a typewriter. What a pity she can not employ a man, to offset her husband's employing a woman !" Tho swaker uttered expressions of thankfulness that club women usually wero childless, although small families in general came in for severe excoriaticn in the course,of his remarks. Comments were made also on tho principle of teaching every ono to read "When you see error in a book or newspaper," said Dr. Holland, "it looks like tho truth. It wears tho same rai ment, and has tho samo proud look Thieves may read and learn how to steal. Thugs read and aqcuiro now methods of murder." The Doctor seems to hnvo been in tho inside of the women's club question and know more than was good for his health but when ho spoke of the newspapers ho had run up against the democratic heels.

Any spray ing outfits advertised in the agricultural and horticultural papers will bo found reasonably satisfactory for tho purpose for which they are recommended. The smaller apparatus ia suitable only for small amounts of work. For larger op erations some of the barrel sprayers will bo found suitable, while for the great commercial orchards nothing short of j)ower machines, capable of going rapid ly over the work, will be found econom ical. The material used in spraying will differ according to the 'nemy to be com bated. For insect enemies some form of arsenic is tued. Either Paris green or Ixmdon purple has generally been employed for poisoning insects, rams okees oh lomon i-owle. Paris green or London purple, 1 Iound-, water, 250 gallons ; quicklime, 1 pound. WHITE AUSEN1C. White arsenic, 1 iound ; sal soda, 1 Iound; lime, 20 pounds; water, 400 gallons. Tho arsenic is to bo dissolved by boil ing with the soda in one gallon of water, and is to be mixed with the water and lime as used. It should never be forgotten that every prujanition of arsenic is poison ous, and while the very dilute solutions used for spraying are not likely to be tartaken of in sufficient quantities to produce serious reaults, the white arsen ic, the concentrated solution above de scribed, and the Paris green and Lon don purile in powdered form must be guarded as deadly poisons. While moet spraying machines are ac comianied by directions for using, it is well to understand that arsenie Kiisons in any of the above forms are fatal oniy to the iut-ect which eat them. It is, therefore, necessary to have the spray thoroughly distributed upon the foliage, but it should not collect in drops. For fnngoos diseases other spraying preparations are used. Formulas of these and directions for their use are as follows: H08DKADX MIXTCSE. Copper sulphate, 6 pooads; qniek- Sime, -t pounds ; water, 40 gallons. Dissolve the copper sulphate by put ting it in a bag of coarse cloth sad hang ine this- in a veeee! holding at least four gallfjos, so that it is jnst covered by the water, use an earthen or wooden ves sel. Slake tite lime in an equal amount of water. Then mix the two and add enough water to make forty gallons. It ia then readr for immediate use. For rote, molds, mildews ami all fungous diseases. eOfPSB SOLI-HATE SOLUTION. Copper sulphate, 1 pound; water, 15 gallons. Dissolve the copper sulphate in the water, when it is ready for nse. This should never be applied to foliage, but must be used before the buds break. For peaches and nectarines use twenty five gallons of water. For fungous dis eases. AMMOMACAL COITER CARBONATE. Copper carbonate, 1 ounce; ammonia, enough to dissolve the copper; water, nine gallons. The copper carbonate is best dissolved in large bottles, where it will keep in definitely, and it should be diluted with water as required. For same purpose aa Bordeaux. KEROSENE EMULSION. Hard soap, half pound; boiling water, one gallon ; kerosene, two gallons. Dissolve the soap in the water; add the kerosene, and churn with a pump for live to ton miuutes. Dilute ten to fifteen times before applying. For in sects which suck, cabbage worms and all insects which have soft bodies. Where only one kind of spray is used it will be found that an arsenic prepara tion is more impoitant than any other. No man who has an orchard shonld al low it to be seriously injured by insect pests without a uctermineu ffort to combat them. It is gen erally safest to begin the battle as soon as the insects are likely to appear in the orchard. For somo enemies, like the canker worm, only prompt and de cisive measures are effectual.
