THE OPENING OF TBE TEAK.
How Uie Day Was Observed st Washing
ton. Washington, Jan. I. Ne Year's
day broke raw and cloudy, but the
weather was not allowed to mar the
success of the annual reception given
by the chief magistrate at the execu
tive mansion.
Officials of the cabinet and the diplo
matic corps, judges of the supreme
court, senators, representatives and
other dignitaries of the government
arrived in regular order, and after
passing through tbe parlor and ex
changing New Year greetings with
the receiving party, gathered in the
East 'room.
Here appeared in the f ulrTbrtlliancy
of the -occasion elegantly gowned
ladies, members of the diplomatic
corps in full court costume, and officers
of the army and navy in uniform, who,
moving through the throng, made a
kaleidoscopic picture of color.
The general public stood in line for
an hour outside the White House gates
until the officials had been received,
then for over an hour they streamed in.
' "Excuse me," observed the man in
spectacles, "but I am a surgeon, and
there is not where the liver is."
"Never you mind where bis liver is,"
retorted the other. If it was in his

Early Risers would reach it and shake

DISSATISFACTION FBOM SPAIN.
Weyler Gives Poor Satisfaction With the
Home Government. - -
Madrid, Jan. V. Dia, referring to
the attacks of the Herald and Impar-
clal on Captain-General Weyler, says
it is possible they may result in a cab
inet crisis. Many people believe there
will be a change of policy. A meeting
of the Spanish generals was held last
evening to consider thesenewspaper
articles, the full text of which was not
allowed to be telegraphed abroad. It
is persistently asserted that a decision
has been reached to relieve Weyler,
but the premier suspended the ordei .
All the ministers met at the premier's
residence, last evening to discuss the
matter. A feeling of general public
indignation prevails. Its is assested
the soldiers are suffering from hunger,
exposure and lack of medical care
while nobody seems to know what be
comes of the money sent from Spain.

Washington, Jan. 1. A meeting

to agree on a candidate for the cobinet

but adjourned until Monday, as Sen

Johnson and Barnbam were the only

Johnson said the man pre-eminently
fitted for the place was Horace Davis,

feared the contest would become so
bitter as to lose the state the honor
sought. Tbe delegation would not
urge an appointment to any particular

JUMPED INTO THIS LAKE.
Banker Bammond, of Chtcage, Commit
ted Huicide by Drownlnc
Chicago, Jan. 2. W. A. Hammond,
vice-president of tbe National Bank of
Illinois, committed suicide during the
ight by jumping into Lake Michigan.
Hammond called on Percy Palmer,
an old fr.'end, and confidential adviser,
at 8 o'clock last evening. Ho talked
gloomily about future prospects. About
11 o'clock Hammond went borne, and
at 11:30 retired for the night. He and
his wife slept in adjacent rooms.
Early this morning Mrs. Hammond
discovered her husband gone, and
notified friends, who found a trail of
scraps of paper which led to the edge
of the -pier at Dempster street. The
rain has soaked the scraps of paper
and made the contents almost illegible.
The lifesaving crew was notified,
and began a search for the body. A
tug was also sent from Chicago for the
same purpose.
- Sixteen-year-old W. F. Rodney,
with a companion, was walking along
the beach in tbe vicinity of Church
street, when they sighted the body
floating only a few feet from the shore.
An ambulance was called and the body
was removed to an undertaking es
tablishment, where it was soon identi
fied by friends.

Kelln, of corvallis.
CORVALlis, Or., Jan. 3. James
Eglin, who with his father owns and
conducts a livery stable here, mysteri
ously disappeared Friday night, and it
is almost certain that he has found
death in the Willamette. He drove to
Albany Friday in a buggy, and left on
his return about 1:30 A. M. Saturday
morning with a young man from' the
stable, who drove another buggy. The
young man reached the stable first and
waited for Eglin, but he did not come,
and after looking for him awhile, it
was thought that he had returned to
Albany for some purpose. About 5
o'clock, however, Egliu's team came to
the stable without the buggy. A
search was then instituted and the
buggy was discovered near tbe electric-
light works, with tbe top partly torn
off. From the tracks it was evident
that Eglin bad driven into a large shed
there, turning around several times
and tearing tbe top in entering He
unhitched the team and drove them up
First street, about five blocks. Near
tbe water works was found his pipe,
aaxl thefibrses had again been driven
around a circle a number of times.
Boot tracks led to the river bank.
There were no returning tracks, indi
cating that some' ene doubtless bad
met death in the water: "The river
was dragged, but tbe body ' has not
yet been discovered. ,

WEYLEK MUST GO.
Madrid Authorities to Recall the Captain-
General from Command in Cuba.
New Voek, Jan. 4. News has been
received by the Cuban junta from
Washington that the Spanish govern
ment has positively determined to re
call Captain-Geaeral Weyler.
General Primo de Rivera, it is said,
will succeed General Weyler in Cuba.
He is captain-general in the Spanish
army, and in favor , with the Canovas
government.
Minister Taylor, it is said, informed
Secretary Olney several days ago that
the authorities at Madrid were on the
point of relieving General Weyler of
his command in Cuba and of appoint
ing as bis successor Captain-General
Rivera. Reasons were given in brief
why a change was deemed advisable
and a statement was made as to the
probable time when tbe orders would
be promulgated. '
It is learned the Madrid government
is displeased at the fact that .General
Weyler, with about 200,000 troops, bas
not put down the Cuban revolt. He
has expended large sums of money but,
so far, has made no decided headway
in accomplishing his main object, that
of quelling the insurrection and restor
ing peace and good order in Cuba.
His troops have been victorious on oc
casions, but they also have met defeat
and the . total result, considering
Spain's outlay in life and treasure, is
far from satisfactory.
Too much may have been expected
of Weyler; just as the exaction was too
great in the case of Campos. Still, the
one great requirement, success, has
not been fulfilled, and Weyler has con
sequently fallen in official esteem in
Madrid.

THE ARMADA,
ercral of the
Vlilui: Which

itorgot.
In the Armada the crusading enthn
Hiasm had reached its point and focut.,
says Froude i:i Longman's Magazine
England was the stake to which the
virgin, the daughter of Sion, was bound
in captivity. . Pci seus bad come at last
in tlio . person of the duke of Medina
SidoDia. and with him all that was best
and brightest in tho countrymen of
Cervantes, to br oak her bonds and re
place her on her throne. . They had
tailed into tho channel in pious hope,
with tho blessed banner waving over
their heads.
To be tha executor of the decrees of
Providence is a lofty ambition, but men
in a 6 to to of high emotion overlook ths
precautions which are not to bo dis
pensed with, even on the sublimcst of
errands. Don Quixote, when he et out
to redress the wrongs of humanity, for
got that a change of linen might be
necessary and that be must take money
with him to pay his hotel bills. Philip '
II., in sending the Armada to England,
and confidant in supernatural protec
tion, imagined an unresisted, triumphal
procession. : -
lie forgot that contractors might be
rascals, that water four months in the
casks in a hrrt climate turned putrid
and that putrid water would poison his
ships' , companies, though : his crews
were companies of angels. He forgot .
that the servants of the evil one might
fight for their mistress after all and
that he must send adequate supplies of
powder, and, worst forgetfulness of all,
that a great naval expedition required
a leader who understood his bn .iucss.
Perseus, in the shape of the duke of
Medina Sidonia, after a week of dLv
astrous battles, found himself at tbe
end of it in an exposed roadstead,' where
he ought never to have been,' nlno
tenths of his provisions thrown over
board as unfit for food, his ammnnition
exhausted by the unforseen demands
upon it, the seamen and soldiers har
assed and dispirited, officers the whole
week' without sleep,' and ' the enemy.
