The dosing of the ninety-nine-year lease of the Fittock Block, in Portland, recently, is one of the clearest-cut in stances of what "business"' means here in America, that has been nude public in Tears. This i, organically, "Block No. 215" of the towusit of PortlanJ, Oregon, and was acquired 50 years ago by Mr. Pittock of. the Oiegonian (then a hardy young pioneer), ironi Wuuam Gray, for the sum of $300, probably all it was worth the day it was so sold. Mr. Pittock has just leased this prop erty for the period of ninety-nine years at an evei-inereasing ratio of rental, the sum of which, at the expiration of the lease, will be $0,298,426.60 in actual cash, paid for the mere ue of the prop erty; and this plus the stea.ly increase in value accruing through all these long and plus t'ae rich impiurementa on the property at the hour of its rever sion to Mr. Pittock's distant heir. During the time he has owned it, its value has swung to the enormous figure 01" $000,000, and by the time it comes back into the family, it is estimated, by the present owner, thJt it will be worth, approximately, sixteen millions of dol lars. This is an apt illustration of how the magnificent New York fortunes were acquired', and explains the hypothesis of the earning capacity of land, alwavs deemed the safest and most reliable in vestment in the world, and proven here as well as explained. The subject is al most illimitable in the way of demon strations of interest to the student who has the time to work them out, and will pay handsomely for the care necessary to unfold them. o JAPANNING CORE A. Diplomacy is employing its last art and subterfuge to hide the hand of Japan in the undoing of Corea, but it is not succeeding in blinding anybody, ' least of all the Coreans. At the Hague conference the ultimate attituJ of Japan is completely understood, however St may be negatived and gIosed and the world at large Is wi-e to the policy that absorption of the broken empire by the people of the Rising Sun. This is a trans-Pacific matter and does not concern us except as it shall eventu ate to deny us a measure of trade, in which case we shall see what we shall see, and so will Japan. The little brown man is hurtling toward bis alleged des tiny with leaps and bounds and this is but a bagatelle in the tremendous pro gram he has laid out; and once he has submerged these dozen millions of peo ple, he has other ends in view ia the consummation of which wa may not be quite so indifferently placed, and wnere ic we are likely to have great company when our protest is filed, to the utter astonishment of the Japanese. So long as the commerce af the na tions is left undisturbed' in the far east there is not likely to be any conflict with 'his capable and ambitious people, but the Japanese, must learn, as all nations have learned, the universal duty of keeping predatory hands off the channels of trade as they flow toward the western avenues that have been carved out and' pre-empted after years of sanguinary struggle and incalculable loss. FIXING THE RESPONSIBILITY. Now that the dreadful story of the loss of tine Columbia is, practical)?, told with all its measure of loss and misery, the next stop in the history is the fixing 06 the blame for the blunder that wrecked her; and in justice to her deaj captain, the investigation should be ex haustive, leaving nothing to doubt nor misconstruction. That a blunder wa committed is as certain as that the Columbia lies at the bottom of the Pacific, and the blunderer must be made manifest to people of this coast in such fashion as will forever lay the last doubt that rises. both commanders Involved In this , ....

Great as is the work of the lawyers on both sides of this case .the real e seice of the task lies with the twelve men who ar the arbiters and last judges of tha guilt or innocence of the man at bar. They are the ones who will have to ponder, and weigh, accept, an 1 discard, apply, and allow, all the eie ments of the vast contributions of tea timonv and hand down the decision that means so much, not only to the de fendant, but to the whole country and especially the laboring world; for, close lv interwoven hi this immense scheme of jurisprudence, the status of union labor is under the eye of the world and mav pass under the ban of it, if it is not purged of the guilty complicity with which it is charged, up there. The issues are huge and affect mil lions of people, and as this jury speaks so will the world take tacit knowledge of the real conditions of labor in the mining section of the woik-a-day world at least, and the verdict is waited with wide and increasing interest everywhere. In any event Orchard is the arch criminal of the century! FEMALE BURGLAR. Women Arrested in Chicago and $3000 Worth of Good Recovered. CHICAGO, July 23. A mild mannered, neatly gowned woman said by the police to be a daring burglar, was arrested yesterday, and plunder worth $3000 found in the apartments where she lived with her husband, a' clerk in a down town drug store, and their 3-ycar-ol.l laughter.

German Authorities to Suppress Teach ing of French Lost "Provinces." PARIS, July 23.-JTie French news papers are greatly incensed over tne decision of the (Jernian authorities to suppress the -teaching of French in the common schools of the "Lost Provinces," Alsace and Lorraine. The loss of the provinces, the statue of which on the Place de la Concorde is forever kept freshly piled with flowers is the sorest point in connection with the settlement of the Franco-Prussian war and the decision to "Germanize" them by sup pressing what is the native tongue for the vast majority of the popula tion is gall and wormwood for the; emotional French people.. Statistics are cited to prove that along the frontier four-fifths oj the children are born of French parents and speak nothing but French. A HAPPY MAN is Amos F. King, of Port Byron, N.
