San Francisco, May 14. Theodore

clare that they have not been hoaxed,

at San Quentin prison, they have dis
covered the man who is guilty of the
horrors in Emanuel church.
John Rosenferer has made a sworn
confession before a notary public and
in the presence of several witnesses
that he killed Blanche Lamont at the
inatigation of a stranger, and in con
sideration of the payment of $700 for
his bloody work. It is with this sensa

their case at Sacramento today.
The story and its details is one of
the most remarkable that has de

The
Washington Monument in Philadel
phia Dedicated.
Philadelphia, May 15. In the
city which placed on his brow the
laurel crown of achievement, the mem
ory of George Washington was honored
today in monumental bronze. The
cord which released the saddling flags
from the figure of the first president
was drawn by the country's latest ex
ecutive. Surrounding him were men
in whose veins runs the blood of those
patriots who battled shoulder to
shoulder with Washington, and with
him made possible the scene enacted
today. , v
It was a notable gathering, including
the president; vice-president and cab
inet officers, officers and privates of the
army and navy, and the direct des
cendants of the molders and makers of
the nation.
The president, with uncovered
head, drew the cord. The flag fell in
a billowy cloud from the shaft, and the
mighty monument stood revealed,
while cannon on laud and water thun
dered. In a moment it was oyer. The
president was escorted back to the
stand ana as soon as silence could be
secured, he made an address. He said
in part:
"Fellow-citizens: There is a peculiar
and tender sentiment connected with
this memorial. It expresses not only
the gratitude and reverence of the iiv
ins, but is a testimonial of affection
and homage from the dead. The com
rades of Washington projected this
monument. Their love inspired, it.
Their contributions helped to build it.

"To participate ia the dedication of
Buch a monument is a rare aud precious
privilege. Every monument to Wash
ington is a tribute to patriotism. Every
shaft and statue to his memory helps
to inculcate love of country, encourage
loyalty and establish a better citizen
ship. God bless every undertaking
which revives patriotism and rebukes
the indifferent and lawless." -

THE DEMOCRATIC PLAN.
Will Mot Offer a Substitute, bat Amend
ments to TnfT Law.
Washington, May 15. The demo
cratic members of the finance commit
tee were in consultation for two hours,
on the tariff bill today. They decided
not to offer a substitute for the finance
committee bill, but to propose amend
ments which, while they will reduce
the rates, would, if added to the rates
of the Wilson bill, produce sufficient
revenue to meet the demands of the
government.
They regard the committee's bill as
a revenue producer, and calculate that
without the p-oposed beer tax and tea
duty, it would bring a surplus into the
treasury. On the other hand, they re
gard the house bill a3 nearly prohibi
tive on many of the schedules, and
think that on this account it will be
deficient in the production of revenue.
The democratic members are especially
critical on the sugar, glass and wool
schedules, and expect to offer amend
ments on all of them. "" None of the
amendments have been formulated. ,

The Confession Is False.
San Francisco, May 14. The al
leged confession of Couvict John
Rosenberg, of San Quentin prison, that
he murdered Blanche Lamont, ia utter
ly discredited hure, no one placing the
least credence in it. The police pro
nbunce it a baseless fabrication. The
ship Hospidar, on which Rosenberg
says he came hither from Hamburg,
arrived, according to the records of
the harbor commissioners, in Novem
ber, 1895, but the police say she ar
rived in June, 1895. In either case,
ner arrival was subsequent to the mur
der of Blanche Lamont, for which Dur
rant is to be hanged. She was mur
dered in April, 1895, so Rosenberg
could not possibly be her murderer. .

Washington, May 17. President
McKinley today sent to congress a mes'
eage recommending that a a appropria
tion of $50,000 be at once made, for the
relief of destitute Americans in Cuba,
and the removal to American soil of
such as wish to come but are without
means to make the journey.
In accordance with the president's
recommendation, the senate passed
without a division a resolution ap
propriating $50,000 for the purpose
specified in the message.
In the house a similar resolution was
presented, but Bailey of Texas objected
to its consideration without an amend
ment embodying Senator Morgan's
resolution to recognize the belliger
ency of the insurgents. The resolution
was thereupon sidetracked.
The cabinet also considered the Cu
ban mutter today at a special meeting,
and indorsed the recommendations of
President McKinley regarding relief
measures.
The president's message to congress
was as follows:
"To the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United States
"Official information from our con
suls in Cuba establishes the fact that .a
large number of American citizens in
the island are in a state of destitution,
.suffering for want of food and medi
cines. This applies particularly to the
rural districts in the- central and east
ern parts of the island. The agricul
tural classes have been . forced from
their farms iuto the nearest towns,

Nineteen Hundred People Were Quests of
The Dalles Kor a Bay.
The excursion of the Past Sachem
Association from Portland to Thi
Dalles Sunday was oue of the largest
that has ever gone out of the meirono
lis of the Northwest and was by far the
largest excursion that has ever come
to The Dalles. The firat train of 13
cars arrived here at 12:30 and the
second with 14 cars came in 15 minutes
late, every car loaded to its fullest
capacity The first train carried the
Sachems Association and their ladle?,
and was met at the Umatilla House by
the local tribe with The Dalles concert
band.. The guests of the Red Men
were escorted to K. of P. hall where
they were received by the tribe and
were supplied with such refreshments
as ice cream, cake and lemonade, some
500 ladies and gentlemen accepting the
hospitality of Wasco Tribe.
The second train carried a crowd
who were simply out for a day' en
joyment, and when they alighted from
the cars, scattered broadcast over the
city, taking in what sights were to be
seen. Many of them had brought
their lunch baskets, and these were
conducted to the high school grounds
and Academy Park where they were
refreshed by partaking of the contents
of their baskets, while others sought
refreshment in the different hotels
restaurants.
The day was an ideal one, being not
too cool or too hot, and the visitors
enjoyed themselves nicely tramping
over the city until 4 o'clock when the
rain began falling and drove all under
shelter. They congregated in the
depot and hotels, under awnings and
in fact in all places affording shelter
until the time for departure com j, then
in a drenching rain, boarded the trains
for Portland.
A considerable crowd was attracted
to fair ground to wittness the ball
game between the Willametts and the
local team, which proved to.be one of
the best -games of ball ever played in
the state, resulting in a score of six to
four in favor of the visitors. ' '
That it was a day well spent, and
was heartily enjoyed by. all was the
universal expression of everyone who'
was here. All felt that the trip up the
Columbia was far more pleasant than
the excursions they are accustomed to
up the Willamette valley, and when
ever in the future they desire a day's
outing they will visit The Dalles and
partake of its hospitality.

The meeting was an enthusiastic one,
all the delegates being alive to the im

sociation so that they can participate
in the different contests. The rules
were slightly changed from those gov
erning last year's tournament, though
there were no material alteratipns
made except as to the distance of racer.

race, reduced from 800 to COO feet and
the association championship race
from 600 to 400 feet. The different

NEABING SETTLEMENT.
Cascade Reserve Matters Being Satlsfae
torUy Adjusted at Washington.
That sheepmen will be glveu the
privilege of herding upon the Cascade
reserve, and that prosecutions against
alleged trespassers on the reserve are
liable to be stopped is mach? evident
by the following letter from Congress
man Ellis addressed to Messrs. Hunt
ington & Wilson:
"Washington, D. C. May 12tb.
"Messrs. Huntington & Wilson, The
Dalles.
"Dear Sirs: I now feel satisfied that
the law will be so changed and the or
der so modified that there will be no
difficulty about the sheepmen using
the present Cascade reserve for the
purpose of parturage. Secretary Bliss
is very desirous that this shall be done.
An order has been prepared, having
this in view, and the attorny-general
has been requested to begin no further
prosecutions against alleged tresspass
ers. I am fully satisfied that the stock
men will be permitted to use the reser
vation under the most liberal rules and
regulations. Yours Sincerely,
"W. R. Ellis."
Poor Markmanship.

took effect. Brown, being mounted
oo a fine horse, soon put sufficient

To the Editor. ' .
I have been reading ydur excellent
paper for a long lime, and in the main
I find it a very satisfactory newspaper,
but there is one feature that aggra
vates me beyond measure and makes
me swear (sometime) that I will stop
the sheet. The thine; that I complain
of is those reading notices, which be
gin with an interesting, newsy item
and end up with "the best and most
popular route between St. Paul and
Chicago, and the best dining car ser
vice in the world, is via the Wisconsin
Central Lines," The statement is
truthful enough', and I suppose that J.
C. Pond, G. P. A.:, Milwaukee, Wis.,
or Geo. S. Batty, General Agent, 240
Stark Street, Portland, Or., find this a
good way to meet and inform the trav
eling public of the advantages of
traveling over their lines.
Yours truly,
Katie Carson.
To Bring Cs Trade.
A scheme Is on foot to construct a '
wagon road from Fossil to The Dalles
and also to build a bridge across the .
John Day on a road leading from
Canyon City to Fossil. A subscription
to raise funds for the' purpose has been
circulated in The Dalles, and has been
so liberally signed, that if it receives
like encouragement in other interested
placed, the road is assured. Such a
road would be of considerable advant
age to The Dalles, since it would di
vert a considerable amount of trade
from the upper John Day, that now
goes to Heppner, to this place. On
account of the low freight rates to be
had here, if a good wagon. .road wero '
built to Fossil, people from the John
Day would come here in preference to
going to Heppner, and the majority
of the freight for Canyon City, John
Day Town and Prairie City would be
hauled from The Dalles, as it formerly
was before the branch road to Heppner
was built. The Dalles can well afford
to lend the scheme encouragement.
Teachers Elected.
At the meeting of the school board
last Saturday all the present teachers .
and tha janitor of the school buildings
were re-elected for the coming year.
Tt was also determined to. retain Prof.
Gavin as principal, although he had
tendered his resignation some months
ago and Prof. Landers had been elected
to the position of principal. Howeyer
circumstances over which Prof. Gavin
had no control made it necessary for
him to continue In school work another
year, therefore Prof. Landers request
ed th& board to accept his resignation
and reinstate Prof Gavin in his former
position. It being agreeable to both
the professors and also to the board,
this action was taken and Prof. Lan
ders was again elected to the position
of first assistant.

take this manner of expressing their
Jove and gratitude to all of the many

in our distress and at last for covering
her over with such beautiful flowers.
Our prayers will ever be, that you all
may be long shielded from such great .
sorrow as is ours, and that your loving
ministrations may teach us all the
fullest meaning of those beautiful
words "Love one Another."
