Pan Francisco, .March 8. The
steamship Korea arrld this morning
from the orient. She brought Gen
eral Corbln, returning .from duty In
the Philippine!. In an interview Gen
eral Corbln said:
"If we are to haw American mis
sionaries In China w must have
troops to protect them, itecent riot
ing, as I understand it, has been com
mitted by river plr-afci . and although
trouble Is bound to cooic In the orient,
I anticipate nothing f a warlike na
ture. There Is absolutely no founda
tion for sensational reports of war In
China, and the boyoiitt of American
goodB Is rapidly adjusting Itself and
Is now practically stQnpi d. ' .
The general has been. in fine health
since being relieved by General Leon
ard Wood, and is en mute to the east
to succeed GcneraJ Bated as chief of
staff.
"It was at my wnuelt : that troops
have been harried to the Philippines,
anticipating trouble with China. It is
better to be prepared for all emer
gencies, and this country Is taking no
chances. All tlx ral powers have
troops in the celestial kingdom, and
there is no mmo why the United
States should not. These troops are
there to prevent trouble, not foment
it.
"There Is absolutely no foundation
to the statement that Japan Is In a
fair way toward becoming owner of
the Philippines. The United States
will turn the Philippines over to Ja
pan when England turns Hongkong
over to the Chinese.
"The government in China Is mak
ing no effort to protedt 'the lives and
property of foreigners. :mtwithstand
ing the general distrust of the people
against missionaries. The feeling Is
as Intense against the Germans and
English as against the Americans."
Regarding conditio In the Phil
ippines, General Corbln stated thnt It
haB never been better. He said:
"I have broken up -entirely and de
stroyed the organized iiotlles of la
drones. Only one leader, Montalon
of the Indrones, remains, and he Is
seeking escnpe by way f the hills."

PrOMiiector Brings Rich HMXinieiis
From Blue Mountains.
Walla Walla, March 8. Golconda's
richest diamond field will look like 30
cents compared l the region In the
vicinity of the head of the Walla
Walla river If taere Is a mineral
bearing ledge there carrying ore of
as high a grade as the specimens
brought to town yesterday.
A man glvtlig his name as Jack
Gordon was In possession of a small
sack filled with specimens of rock,
which he snys came from the Blue
mountains, near the head of the Walla
Walla river. The specimens were
about equally divided half being a
white quartz, filled with gold, and
no glass was needed to see the yellow
metal with the naked eye.
Ho seemed to be very enthusiastic
over the specimens and says that
while they are "float" he does not
have any doubt but that the ledge is
close 'to where he picked up his sam
ples. He thinks they came from a
blind lead. He says the lead may have
been exposed at one time, but the
erosion of the elements have crum
bled it up, and that It may be very
J
near the surface.
He further states that he has known
of gold having been found there for
over 20 years, and it has been his In
tention to go up there, but he had
never done so until recently.

an active canvass throughout the

The other candidates for this place

the appointment and at the June
elections In 1S96, was elected to the
position, which he then held by ap
pointment, and served one term of
two vears.
After retiring from the bench he
again engaged in the practice of his

commercial and Industrial basis,

Lowell Is Popular.
A. It. Stlllman, former chairman of
the democratic county central com
mittee of Umatilla county, candidate
for the office of circuit Judge of this
district, and one of the leading attor
neys of eastern Oregon, In speaking
of the candidacy of Judge Lowell
said to the East Oregonlan today:
"I believe that the candidacy of
Judge Lowell for the United States
senate Is well timed. I do not see
any really formidable rival to his as
pirations at this time In any other
republican candidate who has been
mentioned for the United States sen
ate, and I believe thnt If Judge Low
ell will make such a campaign as he
Is able to make, there Is no doubt o
his selection as the regular repuhll
can nominee nt the primary nomlna-
Ing election, and that his name will
be on the official ballot ns the regu
lar republican nominee.
"So long ns the election of United
States senator was In the hands of a
moneyed organization, having Its head
in Portland, I do not believe that
Judge Lowell had any chance to be
elected to the United States senate,
"At this time, however, when the
voice of the entire people of the state
may be heard, and they will be able
to choose the United States senatlr, I
do not believe that they will lose the
opportunity to select as their candi
date for the United States senate a
real man of the people, and they have
this opportunity In the candidacy of
Judge Lowell."

In the federal Investigation of the

"In fact," he said, "we have come

"The only thing I can say In regard

Report Also Favors Having the

Trip to Portland, While One Coun
cilman Had Made Observations In
Tacoma and Walla Walla Mayor
Fee Calls Attention to tlie City's
Limit of Indebtedness Money Sow
hi Treasury Must lie Used for OtI::r
Stated Purposes.
At the council meeting last night
the street committee made Its report
upon the subject of paving, and rec
ommended that Main and Court
streets be Improved with bltulithlc
pavement, the work to be done by
the Warren Construction company.
The cost of the same to the property
owners was estimated at $405 per 60
foot frontage, and the cost to the city
for the street intersections was placed
at 814,185.
The committee's report was In writ
ing, and told in detail of their Inves
tigations while in Portland. Also,
Councilman McCormmach made a
personal report of his observations In
Tacoma and Walla Walla, in which
places he visited after having left his
fellow committeemen in Portland.
According to Mr. McCormmach he
found bltulithlc to be by far the most
satisfactory material, and said it had
been recommended by the city, offi
cials of both Tacoma and Walla
Walla.
After the written report had been
read It was adopted by the council,
and after some time had intervened
Councilman Hlnkle asked what the
next step would be towards having
the paving done.
In reply Mayor Fee said the next
move would be to Investigate the fi
nancial condition of the city and as
certain where the money for paving
would come from. He called atten
tion to the fact that the limit of In
debtedness Is $10,000, and that an ex
penditure of $14,185 by the city
would be necessary should the work
be done.
"How much Is there in the treasury
now?" asked Councilman Renn.
The treasurer's report was then
consulted, and the amount found to
be $4693.65. However, it was ex
plained that this amount would be
entirely used In paying for the road
roller, new fire hose and other things
recently purchased.
Continuing, the mayor said If the
council went beyond the limit of in
debtedness trouble would ensue, and
that the councilmen, the city attorney
and himself would be made personal
ly liable for any amount over the $10,
000. This risk he declared he was
unwilling to take, saying that while
the mud was bad he preferred It un
der the circumstances.
After a little further discussion the
subject was then dropped. How
ever, after the meeting had adjourn
ed a conference occurred between the
Warren company's engineers present
and lumbers of the council, at which
It was decided to make further efforts
before abandoning the Idea of paving.
Routine Business.
Last night being the first meet
ing of the month bills for February
were read and paid. They amounted
to about $500.
The bond of Marshal Gurdane,
which Is for $2000. and signed by

mittee of the proposed county devel

bear the expense of $125 guaranteed

fund, was referred to the finance com
mittee, with instructions to report
