Nkw Yojiic, Sept. 4. A npcoinl to the
llerahl from Washington says: Thorn
ijgocd authority for the statement that
Iho president has ruturnud to Wash
ington with these general ideas upper
most in 1 1 i h mind no to his fut tiro courso
in relation to the now dependencies:"
Tiie Plnlippinefi Civil goveriuiient by
three coinniisaionors to supplement mili
tary rule immediately after thu rebellion
ii crushed.
Cuba Continued military control
an tit i t is determined In niuaus of u gen
eral election whether thu inhiihitnntH
want independence or annexation. If
independence, tliu new government
elected will bo recognized hy the United
States mill will ho given encouragement
ami every opportunity to establish its
liability. If annexation, thu president
will 1m governed hy thu ecutimuut of
American citizens us it mny then exist.
l'orto Itleo Civil government of the
territorial form, similar to that which
prevails hi Arizona.
Hawaii Territorial form of govern
ment as recommended hy the Hawaiian
commission and ns provided for in u
measure now pending in congress.
Some weeks will elapse before the
president settles down to thu actual prop
ration of his message, but ho has re
tamed from his vacation with some
fell-ilefiinud views as to the dlflicnlt
problems which confront him and will
immediately mmtneucB discussions of
th details with thu members of his
cabinet,
It lias been generally supposed that
tith the war still in progress in tint
Willlppines, the president would avoid
committing himself to recommendations
1 the future government of the islands,
luteuch will piolmbly not bu tho case.
"'3 I'ittslmrg speech leaves no room for
doubt that ho will insist upon American
control of the Philippines. To thiB ex
tent lie has come out squarely and
thrown down tho gauntlet to the anti
expaiiHiotiiBts. Mr. McKinley not only favors the per
manent control hut is prepared witii all
of thu forces at his command to fight for
it, hut to uvoid the charge of militarism,
and that is ills reason for making the
recommendations, lie purposes outlining
a plan to congress for submitting a civil
form of government for t.ho military the
moment peace is obtained and thu com
plete Bupremncy of the United States
established.
Further discussions with ids cabinet
may change somewhat, the president's
views as to the form of civil government
best suited to meet the situation.

Pendleton-, Or,, Sept. 3. A topic
that is engaging the attention of sheep
and cattle men in Eastern Orrgon and
Washington is that of leasing public
grazing lands to private parties. At the
recent wool convention held here, this
subject consumed a large part of the
time of the sessions, and there was
disposition to endorse the pioposition of
the interior department in that connec
tion. Chatles Cunningham, one of the
heaviest breederB of sheep, both of wool-
growers and of fine sheep for improving
the flocks, expressed himself as favorable
to tho plan.
"As a sheepraiEer, who has the sheep
interests at heart," said Mr. Cunning
ham, "I hope the government will adopt
the leasing plan. It will obviate moEt
of the difficulties now so common be
tween sheep men who attempt to use
the same range, and Eecure the range
being cared for by the people who lease
it. Any special regulations adopted to
provide against discrimination in favor
of the larger sheep men would receive
my indorsement."
Mr. Cunningham speaks of the pros
pects for the sheep interests of this
country as extremely favorable. He
states that grass is bound to be excep
tionally good this fall, the summer
having been unusually wet and tending
to cause tho graea to grow. He states
also that tho owners of livestock have
more hay than ever before, and that the
Bales of sheep this year have been so
heavy that there are less sheep in the
couutry than in ordinary years. These
conditions promise easy times durine
the winter, even though it be very long
and severe.

Comes from Dr. D. B. Caigile,
Washita, I. T. He writes:
Four bottles of Electric Bitters has
cured Mrs. Brewer of scrofula, which had
caused her great suffering for years.
Terrible sores would break out on her
head and face, and the best doctors
could give no help; but her cure is com

that Electric Bitters is the best blood
purifier known. It's the supreme
