TUESDAY - - - - FEB. 21.1893 The following telecrram was sent to the congress of the United States by the Oregon legislature . through Senators Dolph and Herman Feb. 10th : "Whereas the state of Oregon has heretofore paid a large sum of money to aid the United States in maintaining the common de fense in the suppression of the war of the rebellion, the amount of which has been shown by the reports of the honor able Secretary of War made to Congress : and whereas said debt has not yet been paid, but is long since due; and whereas Hon. J. N. Dolph has introduced in the senate of the United States an amend ment to be proposed to the sundry civil bill making an appropriation to pay said claim together with similar claims of the United States of California and Nevada, and whereas the United States has re imbursed other states of the Union for Sams of money expended on account of the war of the rebellion, such payments jurerestatine (up to March 15, 4892) the sum of $44,725,072.38 but has not paid any sum whatever on said accounts to the said states of California, Oregon and Nevada; Therefore, be it resolved by the legislative assembly of the state of Oregon, That justice and equity demand that the payment of said claims should be no longer delayed by the United States, and that an appropriation of money therefor should be made by congress at this time. And be it further resolved, That this memorial be tele graphed by the secretary of state to our senators and representatives in congress, and that a written copy thereof duly cer tilled shall be forwarded to the presiding officers of the senate and house of repre sentatives of the United States." If Oregon recovers the sum named in the memorial she would be able to represent at Chicago on a magnificent scale, or perhaps run an opposition show of her own. Iilr Onof In China, The Pekin Gazette contains a carious ' memorial from the viceroy of Canton re specting 103 74-centimeter guns manu factured by Kruppon the order of Chang Chin tang, the Late viceroy of the prov ince. The viceroy says the guns are excellent in every respect, but they do not suit the fortifications for which they were intended. The damp climate of the province and the white ants, "which eat anything and everything," would destroy them; the district is so hilly that they could not be moved, the coast is composed of wet sand, in which the wheels would get fixed immediately; the guns are too long for the embankment on which they were to be placed and could not be turned around; there are no horses in the province to drag them, and if there were there is no forage for them; finally, the horses in the adjacent prov inces are so small that if they were im ported they could not drag such heavy guns. The obstacles being so numerous and insurmountable, the memorialist asks that he may be allowed to transfer the guns to his brother, Li Hung Chang, for use in the north, payment to be made for them when he can. Should be re ceive any money from nis orotner on this account, the memorialist promises to report the fact. The emperor author izes this course to be followed. The wonderful hair-producing medi cines which are so largely advertised nowadays and illustrated with portraits "before using" and "after using," fade into insignificance when we gaze at the new Columbian postage stamps. The one-cent stamp represents "Columbus in sight of land," his face being innocent of any hirsute covering; but on the two cent stamp, which shows the "Landing of Columbus," which must have oc curred less than twelve hours later, the great discoverer appears with a full beard. The great question now agita ting the mmdB ot historical students is, "Columbus, where did vou get that beard?" Only a few days remain to the Fifty second congress. It is probable that there is not a member who will not be glad to welcome the end of the session on the 4th of March. To many of them it means a permanent exit from public life, and to others it means the accession to power of an opposing political party, but to all of them it means rest. What ever its drawbacks, they will be freed from the daily grind, and in a few more days the mails will be barren ot letters from office-seekers, wbich have been pouring in upon the democratic mem bers in anticipation ot the coming change of administration. Thev will be that much ahead, anyhow. Matlock's branch asylum bill having passed both houses, has the approval of the governor and will become a law in a lew days. The bill appropriates $165. 000 and provides that for this sum not less than 350 nor more than 640 acres of Sand shall be purchased in either Wasco Sherman, Gilliam, Morrow and Uma tills, Union or .Baker county, and an asylum and all out-buildings erected to accommodate 350 patients as a minimum and 400 if possible.

Tuesday evening the bells of all the parish churches of Brussels rang merry peals to celebrate the anniversary of the return home from the Holy Land of the survivors of the Brusselers who took part in the first crusade. They had left in 1095 with Godfrey, of Bouillon, whom they left there, and for six years no news had been received of them. They were given up for lost, and more than one of the forsaken wives was thinking of giving a successor to the absent one, when on Jan. 19, 1101, at dusk, the ar rival was announced of a troop of men- of-arms at the Treurenberg gate. Great was the joy in many houses, and the long waited for husbands were wel comed with the best of suppers, to which they did such ample honor that when bed time came they were unable to move from their chairs, and their valiant wives had to carry them to bed.
