The "Wireless," Published at Catali

We arc In receipt of No. 1, Vol. 1
of the "Wireless," the first paper
ever published dopendlng for Its
press service on wireless telegraphy.
we clip tho following extract:
From Its homo In tho beauty spot
of American waters this enchanted
Isle of Catallna where tho mighty
billows of tho blue Pacific break
against her westerly shore, and where
the sibilant wavelets murmur in a
dreamy monotone on the beach of
Avalon, tho Wireless (dally) snlutes
the dawn, the people of the contl
nents, and our sister islands of the
seas, as the first-born projeny of the
greatest of all tho achievements of
electrical enterprise telegraphy
lthout wires in dally letter-press,
Tho service since the opening of
these stations has been uninterrupt
ed, and whllo more than 4,000 mes
sages have been transmitted, there
has been neither delay nor error re
ported. Tho "wires" are never down;
storms have no effect; the subtle
waves of force are carried with uner
ring accuracy and with the velocity
of tho lightning's flash to the receiv
ing lnstrumont, so delicately planned
as to be 10,000 times more sensitive
than the human ear.
A severe test was given tho wire
less company on tho first night (Tues
day last) of its press service, as a
rain and electrical storm of almost
unprecedented violence was then rag
ing; but the report camo through
without a single interruption or er
ror, proving the efficiency of the serv
ice beyond the poradvonturo of a
doubt.

tered on tho voting list thus exclud
ing tho black race from voting, de
clared that the circuit court was
right in dismissing their bill. By
this decision the treatment of (he
negroes' franchise Is left to the state
department.
Harlan Dissented.
The opinion of the court was read
by Justice Molmes. Ho was followed
by Justice Harlan, who delivered a
strong dissenting opinion. The ma
jority opinion of the court held that
it was Impossible to grant relief as
it would be an unheard of and extra
ordinary extension of tho equitable
law to political matters. Brewer,
representing his own views and those
of Brown, declared that the only
question involved was wliethcr tho
federal court had jurisdiction. "That
the circuit court," he said, "did have
jurisdiction is to my mind clear. The
case should have been remanded for
further trial."

Islands Have Been Devastated and
the Natives Are Much Depressed
Prominent Citizens Complain of
Harsh Treatment.
Washington, April 27. Part of Gen
eral Miles' special report, based on his
recent Inspection of tho Philippines,
was made public today.
It hints that tho army officers re
sorted to cruel nnd inhuman torture
of the natives and tho concentration
camps are condemned.
Attention is called to tho sale of
food to the natives confined thoro at
good profit, some portions of the
Island traversed appeared to bo de
vastated and tho natives nro depress
ed. He heard complaints of prominent
citizens concerning tho hnrsh treat
ment. They told Gen. Miles that thoy
had been concentrated in towns nnd
had suffered great indignities.
They also reported that 15 of their
people had been tortured by tho wa
tor cure and one man was burned to
death. These atrocities Miles was
told, wrro committed by n company of
scouts under Lieutenant Hennessey,
Many Died of Suffocation.
Citizens claimed that in ono con1
centration Instance 000 wcro crowded
into one building. A physician said
he was ready to testify thnt many
died of suffocation. Miles inspected
mo miiitiing which he said was a low,
one-story, 20x60 feet, and asked that
a written statement of tho caso be
forwarded to him at Manila, but it
was never received. Ho says that
whether any Influence was brought to
bear to prevent their formal state
ment either by persuasion or coer
clon, he is not prepared at tho pres
cnt time to state. Ho says he found
certain otliccrs who regarded such
acts as justifiable.
Annulled Cruel Orders,
In order to correct such erroneous
and dangerous impressions and to
prevent such nets In the future, ho
addressed to the division commander
virtually an order dated February 28,
calling attention to the reports of
atrocities and directing that any or
ders or circulars of personal InstniC'
Hon which would insplro or encourage
any act of cruelty to bo Immediately
annulled.
Judgo Advocate General Davis, In
a letter to the secretary of war, re
plied to the acts complained of in
Miles' report and says tho Incidents
have been made a subject of special
Investigations, In some Instances by
court-martial, whoso orders have al
ready been made public. Davis ro
fers to General Miles' charge that
rice is sold at tho concentration
camps at a profit and says It was pur
chased by the subslstanco department
and the profits in tho transaction are
very moderate and are all turned into
tho Insular treasury and fully ae
counted for.
The Moro Question.
In tiiat part of the report devoted
to the M010 question ho says tho
problem of control Is not apparently
difficult. Ho says the Insurgents are
poorly armed and have no means of
withstanding mounted artillery and
field mortars.
He made a personal inspection of
tho scene of hostilities nround Iko
l.anao. nnd found that tho forts hav
very slight resistance powers. II
ndvtses tho establishment ot norma
ncnt stations thcro at strategic points,
but objects to tho employment of
American soldiers In road making
without extra compensation.
Summing up tho observations
throughout the Islands he comments
upon tho unhcalthful condition, nn
sorting that very few escape tho Ao-
bllttntlng effects of tho climate. He
compliments tho troops upon their
earnestness nnd faithfulness and re
gards the discontinuance of tho liquor
n bad feature, as ho thinks tho enn
teens arc beneficial.
Evidences of Hostility.
"Whllo It Is claimed," ho says, "thnt
tho people aro pacified, evidences of
hostility townrd Amcrlcnn sovereign
ty aro apparent. Dally nccounts are
received of depredations, hostilities
and disturbances."
Ho severely criticizes tho occupan'
vy of tho churches by troops nnd rec
ommends that at least ono nolnt In
tho vicinity of Manila be fortified be
yond tho possibility of enpturo by a
foreign fleet. Much space la dovotod
to tho impoverished condition of tho
natives by reason of war, pestllcnco
and famine, which. ho thinks Bhould
receive Immedlato ntul serious con
sldcrntlon. Ho further recommends
thnt tho transports be utilized in car
rying com and wheat from tho Pnci
fie const for tho relief of tho FHIpl
nos.

A CASE OF "LUMPY JAW" IN PENDLETON
Tn foetid ntfnn ahnwu thnt there is

perhaps, until sho was notified by Dr.
Smith about a week ago that it was

flicted. Mrs. Ulrich bought tho cow about a
year ago from a man who claimed
that the small lump then on her Jaw
was tho result of a kick. The lump
bag steadily grown since until It at
tracted the attention of passersby,

propriety of taking up a subscription
with which to purchase nor a healthy

animal Is condemned by the state
veterinarian. Dr. Smith has received
no reply as yet from the state veteri
narian as to when ho may bo expected
to arive to investigate the case.
