C, Colonist has beta giving edltorialepace to foe sub ject of protection since .Oiamberjaiaa ' has taken an unequivocal position m famf nf nr.it vtlnn fo England. "Cn- d"r the caption of. "American Opinion' the Colonist says: The attitude of many protectionists' says an American writer In a very able article."towards this (the Chamberlain) discussion as revealed by opinions ex pressed here, is exceedingly" bard to understand. They are apparently delighted with .the growth of protect lonlst sentiment in England, as afford- Ins; corroborative evidence of the wis dom of the, protective policy here, that they forgot how large a measure of the success of American protection has come as a natural complement to Brit If trea trade, and how severe a blow to our present economic position in the world's markets would be the Imperial Aollvereln. England's task hitherto has ben to search out markets for' the pro ducts of her teeming millions, while ours has been the simpler one of sup- plying them with the fundamentals for continuing th?ir Industries- Conditions however, have changed. . The develop ment of the wheat fields of Western Canada, the growth and agriculture in Australia, particularly In New Zealand, have brought it to pass that England would not today starve if she stopped buying food products and raw mater ials from us. She might experience some temporary disadvantage, but that she must necessarily keep her markets open for our exports on a free-trade basis can no longer be confidently as serted. What would America do with her surplus products of wheal and other farm products if England weft to stop taking them? She is our pre-eminent customer, and farmers would not be long in feeling severely her loss. But our western agriculturists, the moment this tremendous outlet for their product was cut off, with the resulting slump V 'n valu?s, would come to Washington tn force to demand that some arrange ment be entered into for restoring to them the 'British market England, however, would be In a position to name the terms of access to ber mar kets. These terms would be very li able to hit the manufacturing interests of the East, and then we would have ths Western farmers on one side and the Eastern manufacturers on the oth er, with a very practical protective discussion before them." The attitude of . American protectionists may be hard to understand, but an argument like the above, which is Indisputable on Its merits makes the attitude of the British anti-Imperialists entirely im possible of comprehension. OREGON REMiNISCENSES The State Bar Association of Wash ington that has Just closed its annual session brought together a brilliant as semblage of U-gol lights. There were historians among the delegates and some interesting Oregon history was woven into the proceedings. Judge N. T. Caton of Davenport touched on early Oregon in a manner interesting to all Oregouians. Beginning with the crea tion of (the territory of Oregon the Judge said: 'The act of congress creating the ter ritory of Oreaon was naHseil on the last day of the session, to wit, ' on me litu day of August, 1848.

Lane issued his procama tlon giving to Oregon her form of gov ramnt..Jfthlle it Is not directly in the line of my subject, I desire to mention one incident In connection with the or ganisation of Oregon territory that think deserves preservation. Qen.Lane accompanied by Joseph L. Meek, who was appointed Oregon's first United States marshal, came to the Pacific coast overland. . The first legislature at Oregon ter rltory convened at Oregon City on the ICth day of July 1849. About the first work done was the dividing of the ter ritory into three judicial districts. The first district was composed of the coun ties of Clackamas Marion and Lynn. To this district Chief Justice William P. Bryant wastssigned. The Second d's trict was composed of the counties of Benton Polk Yamhill and Washington. To this district Associate Judge O. C Pratt was assigned. The Third district was composed of the counties of Clark, Clatsop and Lewis. No assignment of a judge was made for this district as the other appointee, Judge Burnett, failed to qualify. It may be said in passing that it was at this first session of tbe legislature at which Champoeg county had its name changedto that of Marlon, Tuall Un to that of Washington and Vancou ver to that of Clark. Of the judges who composed the first supreme court of Orepon I knew but one O. C. Pratt In a former reminiscence I gave a short characterization of this man and shall not repeat it here. I wll lonly say that while he presided as judge with pro priety he lost no opportunity of showing his importance and replenishing his coffers. The succeeding year, 1851, the bench was composed of Thomas Nelson, as chief Justice, with O. C Pratt and Wil iiam Strong as associate justices. The chief justice was never Intended either by nature r education for this hemis phere. He was very precise In all bis utterances. He It was who told a law yer who had read and talked law for an hour or more, that he fully agreed with him In the proposition for which he was contending, and among other things said: "Should I hold otherwise the 'sup.rm' court would promptly re verse me.." He could not say "supreme court-' If his soul's salvation depended. upon It, but a ways said "superm' court. I took It for grantel that in his view of the matter the two phrases were idem sonans, and therefore made but little difference whether be used one form or the other. Judge Strong subsequently occupied a seat upon the supreme bench of Wash ington territory. Judge Strong, In ad d'ton ,o being a profound lawyer and an able, conscientious and fearless Judge, possessed a kindly dlsposlton and easy and winning manners. I well ivmeniber his constant flow of language when engaged in conversation. His conversation was natural and anima ting. Kirhly endowed .with a retentive memory, his instructive observation, in teippersed always with anecdote, In variably left upon the recollection of his Sick Headaches? county In the coming Irrigation con gress. ; Eastern Oregon l h section most In need of Irrigation and if It suite-brush plains are not converted Into goldn grain fields through the process of irrigation within- the next few ye-trs, Baker, Union and Umatil la counties will have to assume the cell-sure.

CUBA RECIPROCITY President Palma Denies Petition of Commercial Men Havana, August 28. The Interest In the reciprocity with the United States which has been languishing for several months is reviving. The newspapers are urging the Cubans, In spite or their previous dscouragement, to again Join hands with the friends for the reciproc ity treaty with the United States. President Palma has denied the pe tition of several commercial and man ufacturing organizations for a suspen sion of the tax on manufactured pro ducts and 'industries enacted by the Havana Provincial Council. The presi dent holds that the impost Is not in compatible with the taxes imposed by the general government. UKASE -OF FAR EAST Powers Invested In Office of the Imperial Lieutenancy St Petersburg, August 12. (Corres pondence of The Associated Press. The Imperial Ukase placing the Amur dis trict and the Kwangtung Province un der General AlexiefT. who will assume the title of Imperial Lieutenant of these territories, declares: "Our lieutenant in the Far East Is invested with supreme power In all matters appertaining to the civil ad- imnisiruuon oi me country enirusteu 10 j him. and this administration is removed ! from the Jurisdiction of the ministries. I On the Imperial Lieutenant is also ran- I ferred supreme power with respect to ( the maintenance of order and smirlty j within the zone of the Chinese East-! em Railroad, as well as tile care of ' providing for the needs of the Rus- I sian population in the possessions I bordering on the Imperial lieutenancy, "Until the promulgation of a law deal lng with the administration of the far i eastern territories, the limits of the Imperal Lieutenant's powers, rights and obligations with regard to the higher institution as well as the local institutions, shall be determned in ac cordance with tha local principles set forth in the Imperial rescript of Jan uary 30, 1845.

"Diplomatic negotiations regarding the affairs of these terrltores with neighboring states are placed in the hands of the Imperial Lieutenant in the far east. "The Imperial Lieutenant Is entrusted with the command of the naval forces In the Pacific and all the troops sta tloned In the territory placed under his Jurisdiction." MANY FIGHTS REPORTED Trains Are Attacked, Turks Be Being Unable to Protect Passengers Sofia, August 28. Fights are reported from several districts around Adraln- I ople. The insurgents are now beselge-1 lng the town of Malkoternovo. The I Autonomye states that a( Ziknlsber, near Malkoternovo after an engage ment lasting 11 hours, the revolution ists killed 40 Turkish soldiers and also burned the vllage of Hodgotalashnan because Its Bashl Bazouks inhabitants had terrorized the Christian population In the neighborhood. The Turkish Guards along the . Bulgarian frontier have fled before the revolutionists who are In possession of all the villages around Malkoternovo. The Turkish government is making the utmost ef forts to repress the rebellion In the vilayet of Uskub. Every available man has been called out from the last line of reserves to the rawest recruits. The train outrage near Kulell 'Burgas will have. It is thought, a. very damaging effect on the Turkish government.show lng at once the strength of the Insur gents and the weakness of the Turkish authorities, who in spite of warnings received days ago that the trains would be attacked, have proved themselves unable to protect the passengers.
