ALBANY, OREGON, OUR WAR VESSELS. The Charleston and the Esmer alda May Fight. BOTH ARE NOW AT ACAPl'CCO, Ths Reported Sinking of tbs Itate Was Dutrus-The Latest from the Scene oi the Trooble. ! Washington, May 10. JLfter a week s waiting some tangible news was to-day received at the navy department from the Chariest ton. Through the state c'-Tart' ment a dispatch came sayinyuual tne Charleston hau arrived atAia pulco and that the Esmeralda was still in port, but giving no news of the Itata. What the next step is to be no one at the department knows or is free to tell. The Charleston is to take on coal, as her supply has probably nearly run out during her weeks' clmse. Whether the Esmeralda is to have the privilege of taking on coal cannot be learned here, as it is a matter entirely within the control of the Mexican government, but the presumption at the depart ment is against it, as the neutrali ty laws would be broken by the Mexican government if they al lowed anything beyond water and food supplies to be furnished. Tiie theory at the navy depart ment is that the Charleston, whose commander Captain Kemy, lias orders admitting of large discre tionary movements, will now lie at or near Acapulco for a time, trusting that the Itata, which w a slow 7 knot ship, has not yet pass ed down and will try to coal in that neighborhood. If she is sighted the Charleston will doubt less try to seize her. She cannot do this in Mexican waters so that it would be necessary to head her oil" outside the three mile limit or if unsuccessful in that to follow her to sea when she goes out. What the Esmeralda will do in the meantime is problematical. A cablegram received at the de partment from Admiral McCfcnn announces that the Baltimore and San Francisco were both at Icui tue, Chili, today. It appears that the Baltimore has come north and the San Francisco has been stayed in her southern course net at the point where the Chilian in surgents' navy is now nearly all together assembled. This point is abent the extreme north of Chili, and is where the Itata would na turally find her destination if she eluded the Charieston. Sax Francisco, May 10. The information from the navy depart ment, announcing the arrival of the cruiser Charleston at Acapalco confirms the original statement as to the sailing orders of the Charles ton when she left San Podro Inst Monday and also serves as a com plete denial of the rumors coming from various ioints alon the Mexican coast the last three dava. The Charleston has undoubtedly passed tne itata, loreseemg the possibility of which her orders were to ko to Acaoulco in the hooe she would meet the Chilian cruis er Esmeralda, which has been waiting to convey the Itata to Chili. The Charleston will now undoubtedly remain in sight of the Esmeralda in the belief that the Itata will seek to meet her at Acapulco. If such proves to be the case, the attempted seizure of the Itata by the United States cruiser becomes more interesting than at anv previous juncture. In case the Itata has continued on down the coast she will have giv en the Charleston a complete elip, and her capture, if made at all, wouhl have to be by the United States cruiser San Francisco or Baltimore, off Liuique. flH SMALL IS HAD. He Calls Hev. II 11 1, of Oerieu. as Infamous Liar. Atlanta, (ia., May IC. A spe cial pavs; Kev. ham fiiiiHli, who is now in Toronto, has addressed a circular to the people of America coi'ceining his troubles with the (igdeu (.Utah) university, of which he was elected president. He says telegrams attacking him were B-nt out by "that infamous liar," Knv. U e."ley 11:11. of the First Meth odic church, at 0den. lie goes on to s ty that the Ogden university scheme was a private snap spec ulation, and that the aloresaid Hill "lives a double life." Small is equally severe on the board of directors, boldly charging them with getting up bogus subscription lists and "robbing Salt Lake of the institution." He concludes: "Up to this hour I have stood be tween the church I love and the exposure of this whole scandalous I tah situation, but now I must let the truth be known." How Threat! la Numbered. The seamstress, whether she wants No. .'K) or 4(1, or IL'0 thread, knows from the number just what kind of sewing it can be used for. When 84!) yards of yarn weigh 71HH1 grains, a pound of coiton, the threadmakers mark it No. I. If ItiSO yards weigh a pound, it is marked No. 2. For No. Tit) yarn it would take 51) multiplied by 4S!t t0 weigh a pound. This is the whole explanation of the yard measure ment as used by the spool cotton manufacturer. The early manu factured thread was of three-cord, the number being derived from SUNDAY, MAY IT the number of yards to the pound, just as it is to-day. No. 00 yarn made No. CO thread, though in point of fact the actual calibre of No. 00 thread would equal No. 20 yarn, being made of three No. 20 strands twisted together. When the sewing machine came into the market as a great thread consumer, unreasoning ii its work and inexorable in its de mands for mechanical accuracy, six-coru cotton had to be made in place of the old and rougher three-cord, it being much smooth er. As thread nuinbei s were al ready established, they were not altered for the new article, and No. (50 six-cord and No. 0 three cord v ere left identical in both size and number. To effect this the six-cord had to be made cf yarn tvtice as line as that de manded in making the three-cord variety. The No. 00 cord is made of six strands of No. 120 yarn Thread is a simple thine, but sim ple aa it is, there are 2000 kinds of it, and each kind goes througi hundreds of different processes. CRAZKD BY LAGHll'FE, A Victim at Vancouver Cuta Ills Throat with a Jack-Knlfa. Vancoiver. Or., May 1G. Pierce Barnett.aged 38, a widower, and a cousin of Dubois Bro., com mitted suicide early this m iming, while in a temporary 'it of de spondency, by cutting his throat with a jack-knife.

THE PRESIDENT. he kksi'iuks his i1 ties at the white hoise. Several Important Question Be fore the Executive Department Effect of Blaine's Illnesi. Wasuinu ton, May 10. The pres ident resumed his official duties at the White House to-day. There are a number of important ques tions pending in each of the exe cutive departments and it is the president's purpose to dispose of them as rapidly as possible. The president will devote his attention to the Behring sea first, wi'di a view of having the government s policy in regard to the seal fisher ies, so far as the present season is concerned, clearly defined, pend ing the final settlement of the con troversy by arbitration. The illness of Secretary Blaine may necessitate a slight delay in the preparation of instructions, but it will be only temporary. WOl'LUN'T CALL HER "LADY." An Incident lu the Life of the Late Leonard Jerome. Leonard Jerome's three big pret ty daughters, somewhat to hie grief, chose Fnghshmen for hus bands, and though he lived abroad during the later years of his life, he remained independent and a good American to the end. In fact, lie never acknowledged Lady Randolph Churchiire title, and the first visit he paid her after her marriage he astonished the llunkey at the door by asking for "Mrs. Churchill." The cockney footman at first seemed inclined to throw the tall, amused-lookiiig American down the steps, and holding the door half open, announced indigiiaiiant that " ' Itdldyship is at 'ome, but not to ther likes o' you." Whereupon Jeroaie smiled gent ly, reached in the doorway and by a twist of his long, strong arm on the back of the footman's coat collar twir!ed him around like a top. "Now," said he, "go tell Mrs. Churchill i hat her d.iddy is down in the parlor and wants to see her, and I'll fs'and in the door way and see just Low fast your calves can carry you up those steps."' New fork Journal. A VKKY TAl.I. VAK.V. The Expurlence of a California Editor While Wood Chopping. Speaking of liars the editor of the McCloud (Cal.) Pioneer need not lake aback seat. He says: "Some days ag- a shoemaker who was making shakes at Black Cox mountain, north of town, cut down a big five-foot sugar pine, but, after felling it, discovered it to be hollow some forty feet above the butt. Gazing into the cavity he found it to be chock full of bears five black, seven cinnamon and three grizzlies the animals haying holed up for the winter. With great presence of mind the man split off some slabs, sawed off the hollow part, nailed the slabs over the hole and started the lot down the steep mountain toward this place, where it arrived safe and sound. The bears can be seen through cracks in the slabs, lying in a state of semi-torpor." The Fireman's Wooing. "You are out with Miss Rox?" "Yes, her father put an extin guisher on the affair."

H Talks la Italy about ths UcKlnley Bill and ths BnsUaii Outlook in this Country. London, May 10. Thomas B. Reed, ex-speaktr of the United Suites house of representatives, talking to a correspondent of the Associated Press in Italy to-day conceririig the McKinley bill, said in part: "It will stimulate our foreign commerce by a large num ber of articles on which duties have been reduced or which are added to the free list. It will stimulate our domestic industries by reason of the reduction in duties on the raw material and in crease the duties on a very few articles of necessity which have been largely imported, but which hitherto we have been unable to manufacture profitably. It was extremely unfortunate that the bill went into effect in the time of, or was followed eoon by, -the most severe financial panic, when gen eral insolveuce seemed to shake the whole commercial world. Go ing iuto effect under such circum stances it was not a difficult matter to convince thousands of voters that these financial difficulties were due solely to the inherent defects of the measure. The C3mmercial nations are not siow to take every possible precaution to protect and stimulate their trade, and that is exactly the policy on which the Mi-Kin ley bill is founded. I am very colitiilent that I lie next tew years will le years ol general urosiieiity to the United States and that they will prove to be favorable both to our domestic manufacturer a and to our foreign commerce." HOW UK WAS KEt'UKUEU. Flowers and a Woman Made llliu Honorable. Asa Dame, an old newspaer man, was looking at a show win dow where there was a profusion of tlowers. "I never see (lowers, " lie said, that 1 do not think of a poor fellow in our profession who was one of the most Aorthless in many respects that. I ever knew. He had that habit ot borrowing sums varying Ironi the price of a beer to the amount necessary to g- t a meal from anv one whom he ci meed to know. As is usual wii.ii such fellows, he always for got the favor. His early training and associations, however, made him a gentleman at heart. He came from one of the best families in the land. He was a West Pointer, and as brave a kuight. But he was a deadbeat. Reconcile the inconsisteucies if you can. Fie came to me one Easter and asked me if I would lend him $5. He had struck me for five times that amount in small amounts varying from 10 cents up, and had never paid back a cent, nor had he ever intimated an intention of wiping out the old score. I was conse quently dumbfounded when he asked me for a fiver. Before I could question him about his wants he made me such an appeal and promised so earnestly to repay that in spite of my judgment 1 let him have the money. I did not see him for ten days. When I did he banded me the amount of the last loan. I was astonished and told him I never expected him to I ay it back. I 11 tell yo i how it was, lie said. 'I had an old sweetheart come to town the day I met you, and she asked me to take her to church. We knew each other that well. She had known me when I was a dashing cadet. Of course 1 took her. I think if she had taken a second look at nie I would have declined, but she did not notice that I was away off color. I would no sooner think of takiDg a lady to church on Easter with out buying her some llowers than 1 would think of paying for a meal if I could get around it. I have a schedule of my expenses here, which I desire you to examine.' "I have that schedule as a souvenir. Here it is: blurt collar, 15 cents ; shave, 10 cents ; shine, 5 cents; cigarettes, 10 cents; break last and car fare, 25 cents : flowers, $4 25 ; balance, 10 cents. 1 asked him what had prompted the payment. He drew himself up as he knew how to do when he wanted to aud said: fiowers run! a woman will bring out the honor in a man if he has any. I would as soon beat you out of the price of a beer as to look at you, but, sir. I am too much of a gentle man to beat yon out of the money which was expended to entertain an old sweetheart with flowers.' "They tell me that when he was dying in a Southern hospital a few years ago a sister of charity asked him if there was anything he wanted, and he replied that he would like to have Borne flowers put on his coffin. Chicago Tri bune. What Absinthe-Drinkers (let. A Sixth-street bartender says: "Five years ago I seldom had an average of dne call a day for ab sinthe.but now it is more likely one an hour, while on Saturday eve ning th demand is very large. 7 Absinthe is. without exception, a nsJ anma man &'Vtr lrnnv it h Cble effects only drink it on Sai.T'ay, because I suppose, they neett a day's rest to get rid of the effect. Of course a man who gets his living by serving drinks is not going to talk temperance, but I don't believe any saloon-keeper cares about selling a drink he knows contains blue vitriol, as is the case with nine-tenths of the absinthe sold. Years ago I was fool enough to drink this stuff, and it nearly blinded me. The eye-doctor, who fixed me up at a cost of over 50, threw in the ex planation that it was the vitriol that had the effect on the eyes, and said the final results would be a loss of eight. The genuine ab sinthe comes from Switzerland," and the peculiar flavor is given it by means of anise oil. But this is costly ,and blue vitriol answers the purpose just as well, and intro duces a few more deadly effects. I have known Frenchman, who have sipped the pure article in Parisan saloons, drink the power ful imitation, and describe it as preferable to the genuine, so far as taste was concerned. An Early Morning Arrest. At 3 o'clock this morning Police man Lee observed three men act ing in a suspicious manner in the alley in the rear of Foshay & Ma son's drug store. He captured one of them and blew bis whistle, when policemen hastened to his assistance, but the other two es caped. What they could have been loaCng about at that hour in a suspicious manner remains to be explained. AN IN HUNAN MOTHER SHE SOLD HER SON CHINAMAN. TU A The Little Fellow Discovered by Accident -He Called Bis Chi nese Guardian "Papa." Los Angeles, May 10. For sev eral ("ays past a Chinese vegetable peddler had been inquiring among people on the outskirts of the city whether they had any small boys to sell, saying he would pay $50 for one. He then said that his cousin had purchased a little boy for $40, and that he was preparing to return to Chna and would take the boy with him, and there could dispose of him at a gcod figure. The people of whom the Chinese made inquiries at first thought that the heathen was trying to perpetrate a joke, but lie was c 3 persistent, and went into such minute details, that they finally arrived at the opinion that there was something in it, and reported the case to Humane Officer Wright. Wright commenced a search for the Chinese, whom he found to-day, and forced him to show where the boy was. He found a 4 year-old boy dressed in Chinese clothes. He did not know his name, but called the Chinaman, "Papa." The China man said a woman bad given the child to him. The woman was found, and proved to be Mrs. Coulter, whose husband committed suicide in this city some months ago. 8 he admitted that the child was her's, but denied that she had sold or given him to the Chinese. The matter will be further invea tigated. NEW ORLEANS BRAVE MAYOR He Telia the Ruffians Their Reign of Terror M ust Step. New Orleans, May 10. Yester day Henry Peters, a stevedore, went to the city hall and com plained to Mayor Shakespeare that the Provezanos were interfer ing with him and intimidating his laborers. He made an affidavit and the Provezanos Bros, were ar rested and held under $20,000 bail. The mayor sent for the Proqezanos this morning and said : "I have sent for you because this city has grown tired of the intimi dation and lawlessness you have carried on. I want to give you fair notice and warning that this tbing must stop at once and for ever. Matranza comes to me and tells me that he cannot pass a I'rovezano on the street without the latter spitting on him. Now, there must be at once and forever cn end to this. I have issued or ders to the chief of police that be use his entire lorce to prevent you from carrying your designs into execution. 1 am sorry now that I am obliged to go to Denver. If I could I would personally take command of the police force and use every means at my command to wipe from the face of the earth every memlier of your gang who tries to raise his band against per sons of this community, but my representatives will act for me. This reign of terror must stop, and it there is any way possible to do it, it will stop. A Good Game of Ball. Tacoma, May lfl. Tacoma, 6; Seattle, 5; innings.

Miskegon, Mich., May 16. Twenty-two squares of business buildings and dwellings were swept away to night by the most disastrous fire Muskegon has ever seen. The lire started at o :30 at the Launkowell hotel barns and aided by a strong wind swept with lightning like rapidity to the blocks on Pine street, one of the chief business streets in the city ; then by a sudden shift of the wind, the flames were driven to ward Terrace avenue, one of the finest residence streets in the city, where they swept unchecked until the southern part of the city was reached, where the buildings were not so close together. There the firemen aided by the engines and more from Grand Rapids, suc ceeded in getting the flames under cantrol, although at a late hour. ome buildings are still burning jercely. Twenty-two blocks are devastated. Pine street business houses for ten blocks are entirely wiped out. No less than 350 resi dences, including some of the finest in the city, are in ashes. The $100,000 courthouse was gut ted, but the public documents were saved. The prisoners in the county jail, which occupied the basement of the courthouse, were liberated. TERRIBLE SCENES. Several cows and horses were burned, and a little child sleeping in the Launkowell hotel is iuies inif. A conservative estimate of the total loss is over half a million dollars. Hundreds of -faniiles who were rendered homeless are being cared for by the people in the por tion of the city w uicii escaped me visitation. The scene on the streets to-night is terrible. Home less people are running Irauticaily about, making endeavors to save some little portion of their most valuable effects, which have been dragged from the bouses, but in most cases the spread of the flames was so rapid that little or nothing could be carried away. Above the cries of the women aud children and the shouting of men could be heard the explosion of dynamite used by the tiremen to blow up buildings in the hope of staying the progress of the flames, and again the heavy concussion of a boiler in some business build ing, throw ing the debris inall direc tions. The tiremen labored under difficulties from the start. The gale w hich was bbwing scattered huge blazing brands far beyond where the men were working, causing new tires to spring up con stant I v.
