Vigorous Recruiting Going On in the Argentine Republic. AKJUNG WITH VEVEBlSn HASTE. Chill Tardily Opening Her Eyes to the Threatened Invasion Other Topics of Interest. Panama, Nov. 10. According to ad vices from Chili, a war is imminent be tween the Argentine Republic and Peru on one side and Chili on the other. Peru is perfectly well armed, and her forces have recently received 100,000 Mannlicher rifles of the latest pattern, together with other formidable machines of war. A Chilian gentleman just ar rived from Peru states that in that re public the approaching war with Chili affords the staple for conversation, and in fact a pretense of friendship is only put forth as a means of gaining time. In the Argentine Republic vigorous re craiting of .both natives and foreigners is being prosecuted, and the govern ment, in feveri9h haste, 19 arming troops. There is no longer any doubt a secret compact against Chili, offensive and defensive, exists between the two republics named, and they are only awaiting anything that, will serve as casus belli in order to throw an army into Tarapaca and another upon the southern frontier, while strong skir mishing parties will harass the country from the Cordilleras. Ihe (Jhilian gov ernment has tardily opened its eyes to the threatened invasion, and ordered the steamers of the C. S. A. V. to be prepared for immediate incorporation into the navy, cabling for Captain Pratt to proceed to Valparaiso at once. THE ENGLISH PRESS. How it Feels Over the Election of Cleve land and Stevenson. Loxdox, Nov. 10. The Morning Post says : "The fact of Mr. Cleveland's re turn by a large majority over the mot ley crowd who adopted the McKinley bill cannot be taken as an indication that extensive fiscal changes are at hand. The adjustment of necessary taxation in the interest of the manu facturers class is one thing: the con tinuation of taxes which are not re quired is a very different thing. Per haps Mr. Cleveland would be stronger had he declined the aid of Tammany hall." The Times says : "It is clear that the democrats are by no means prepared to commit themselves to free trade. For the present the party will be satisfied with the usual arrangements for placat ing professional "politicians, who have shown their power more strikingly than on anv former occasion. The election was not only a protest against protec tion, but also a deathblow to the efforts of party men to manufacture political capital out of the memories of the civil war." ' The Daily News says: "At present the country has only decided in favor of freer trade than before. Cleveland cannot move fasterjthan the nation, and the economic heresies of half a lifetime are not to be extirpated in a day. The New York machine, which long has been a vile contrivance for securing the private ends of self-seeking politicians has received a deadly blow, for under the other name of Tammany it has been compelled to support Cleveland." The Standard says: "Although the McKinley protectionists have received a knock-down blow, the sequel probably will show that protection has been only scotched, andjnot killed. As far as this country is concerned," the article says, "the victory of One party or the other is not a matter of political importance. Whichever party is in power, there arise occasions on which the United States government fails in courtesy toward Great Britain, but everybody knows that these disagreeable incidents are merely electoral maneuvers." The French Victorious. Paeis, Nov. '10. The French have captured Cana, near Abomey, the capi tal of Dahomey, with a loss of sixteen killed and eighty-two wounded. This practically ends the campaign. Colonel Dodds has been made a general. THE DALLHS SOUTHERN. A Sample tot of Timber it is Intending to Reach. One of the inducements held out for the construction of-The Dalles Southern railway, is a belt of timber in the Cas cade mountains. The forests of the Cas cade and Coast mountains of Oregon have often been compared with the pin eries of the lake region and the New England states, but few realize the dif ference. ' The pines of the east are dwarfed and stunted, when compared with the giant firs and mighty cedars that adorn "the slopes of our western mountains, where the moist ure-liden and the warm winds of the Pacific keep them in constant growth the entire year. Of the belt of timber referred to in con nection with The Dalles Southern, one who has visited it says there is miles of it that will bear, an estimate of from seven to ten million feet of standing timber to the quarter section 1 much of the timber is the giant red cedar, known as Alaskan cedar, though better in qual ity than the same timber in that north ern region, ihis timber is used for shingles, and is worth $20 per 1,000 feet. The trees are monsters, reaching often 200 feet in night and eight to twelve feet in diameter, so large that the logs would have to be blasted into halves be fore they could be handled in the mills. The .fir, which is so much heavier, tougher and more durable wood than the pine, also grow to great girth and tapering more symmetrically than the cedar, reaches a still greater hicht in proportion to its base diameter. To look at this forest one might think the supplv inexhaustible, but we are told from the demands elsewhere, and the inroads made upon timber iu Oregon that it is rapidly increasing in value. "With lavish hands have the settlers of the Pacific elope spent the wealth nature gave them. .Millions of dollars have gone up in the smoke, either by the de liberate act of the homesteader in clear ing his land, or by the carelessness of others in setting fires that have spread over the thousands of acres, killed - the trees, rendered them valueless as tim ber, and checked the young growth. For all this waste we must some time pay, and the miners are already paying in the decrease in the amount of water in the streamB late m the season. The destruction' of the forest should be stopped except for commercial purposes, and some practical method of making good the waste should be adopted. The science of forestry may be able to warn us of the danger of destroying the for ests, but it cannot pass laws and execute them. CUNNING COTOTES. One of The Most Remarkable Evidences of Brute Intelligence. You speak of the cunning nature of the fox. Reynard will have to take back seat, when compared with our com mon wild dog or coyote." Their schem ing maneuvers in trapping jack rabbits and stealing chickens, have often been talked about, but an incident occurred the other fmorning which places these wihl canines far ahead of their tame, domesticated brothers in intelligence. During the past summer and fall, jack rabbits have been unusually scarce m this locality, and besides this, the far mers have all placed high picket fences around their hen coopes. Coyotes have been just as thick, however, and their melancholy howling is, nightly, audible to the residents of ihe rural districts About their only means of obtaining full stomach now is to find an occasions cow, which lingers on the railroad track too long. Section men say that when a cow is struck and killed by the night train the skeleton is all that remains to be buried in the morning. Evidently such occurrences are too rare to satisfy the wilv coyotes. The other morning, as train No 24 was approaching Echo station Engineer Marry Mapes noticed a cow on the track ahead. ' He whistled, and the cow didn't move. As he got closer, he noticed two coyotes herding the cow holding her on the track. He applied the air Drakes and reversed the engine and had almost stopped before the cow made a move to get off the track. The coyotes trotted off a ways and stopped, looking back in a sneaking manner, as if ashamed of having been foiled in their game. Highest of all in Leavening Power. .Latest U. S.

BREKING MORAL LAW BY HABIT, A Positive Contradiction That he Died an Unatural Death. HE WAS "HIS OWN WORST ENEMY." A Post-Mortem Examination Reveals Calcarous Degeneration of The Heart. London, Nov. 10. Further particulars regarding the finding of the body of the Duke of Marlborough show that when the body was found life had be;n extinct several hours. The Chronicle says: The late duke of Marlborough was by habit a breaker of moral law and by desire a ' founder of economic laws. He was a man of whose ancestor it was said he proved false to every woman ' and every cause with which he was connected. - v lut-v un.u -iua uuu vuiiuuv f-t-,A- with any cause. 'Nothingwhatever but gqod of the dead is more or less the hypocritical fashion of the day. So we may say of his latter years that they were an improvement on his earlier ones." The limes publishes an inter view had with Lord Randolph Church ill, in which he said: "Please contradict positively that he died an unnatural death. From all we have been able to gather so far, he died of syncope. The:e . will be a post-mortem examination, and perhaps an inquest. Of course, that de pends upon the result of the post-mor- tern.' xne ximes says: The late duke was his own worst enemy, and by scandals in his private life threw away the certainty of attaining a position of ., great influence in the country." The post-mortem examination of the body of the Duke of Marlborough revealed that his death was the result of calcarous de- - generation of a large vessel of the heart. Prohibiting Immigration. New Yobk, Nov 10. The board of trade and transportation at its meeting yesterday held a lively discussion of the subject of immigration. James H. Sey mour introduced a resolution to request congress to consider the desirab.'lity of ' This resolution was adopted. The board also referred to a committee of five, Messrs. Wise, Seymour, Barrett,, Wielands and Smith, the question of restrict ins ininiizratine. reciting that a. grave question now confronts the people of this country by reason of the promis- -cuous and unresticted immigration front other countries.
