Advices received today from Costa

Sunday night;, President Iolesias said
the situation between Costa Rica and
Nicaragua is sucn now tnat war 13 in

Further advices from Costa Rica say
that on February 20 there was a large
popular demonstration in which more
than 5000 persona showed thairapprov-
al of the attitude of the government
toward Nicaragua, and more troops
were sent on February 20 to the fron-
ier. Hostilities with Nicaragua are
expected at any moment. Many prom-
nent members of the American colony
have offered to aid the government
with men and money. One of them.
James Ben net, offered to give $60,'000.
The French colony has also promised
to take uo arms in defense of Costa
Rica in the event of war.
Since the unsuccessful revolution
broke out in Nicaragua on February 5,
which President Zelaya charges the
Costa Rican government with aiding,
there has been little communication
with the Costa Rii'an capital. Mess

His Position Against Union Assailed by
air. Kroner.
Portland, Feb. 25, "98.
Times-Mountaineer:
Ed.
I t is becoming tiresome to read
the miQdle.of.the:road communications
that fill the pages of the Oregouian
and other golibug! papers, and more
tiresome t reply to them. There is
not a single argument advanced in
air. noii, a letter, wnicn is not oasea
on false presumptions, not a single '
argument, whfch has not been fully
answered. Why, instead of repeating
this. talk about part; machines, in
sincere reformers, populist piehuntc-rs,
why does Hot the senator-meet union
uieu Upuu tutifoffsaifomM?"'Vfiy
doe&henot qura scolding and debate
the question upon its merits or still
better let the voters decide it for
themselves? Mr. Holt deplores the
lack of party harmony and the loss of
energy of our people in reform agita
tion. Both of these assertions-- are
partly true but so far only the middle-
of-the-road people have disturbed
party harmony by declaring or threat
ening that they will organize a new
party if they fail to' control the policy
of t e peoples party; so far as I know
tho union people have been willing to
let the people decide by majority vote
and abide by their decision. Here in
Multnomah county everybody is work
ing to build up the party and greater
financial sacrifices are made thaa ever
before, but ihe "Simon Pure" populists
are refusing to join our clubs, a cir
cumstance which, I think we have no
reason to deplore as they are not very
numerous, and have never coted our
ticket before.
I have said that the H !t letter was
based upon erroneous presumptions
and I will show it. Out li- st let me
express my indignation at i he scanda
lous twaddle about "the democrats
trading their state and county officers
to the populist piehunters for Sewall."
I do not for a moment believo that
this is the truth, but if it wertrue'
what a horrible reflection would it
cast not upon the democrats but tbe
populists. Would it not argue the
complete control of our pirty by the
piehunter9 and machine politician.",
the very thing that prevents Mr. Holt
from recognizing Bryan democrats
and 6ilver republicans as a reform
party. What a weapon for tbe enemy
is this declaration, coming, as it does,
out of the mouth of one of our trusted
leaders! ' No wonder the gold standard
press eagerly snatches and publishes
the effusions of our middle-of-the-road
statesmen and send them broadcast as
plf.te matter to the county papers and,
parenthetically, ought not this latter
fact to open the eyes of our senator
and others of Lis conviction to the
danger of their, course? Would not
the reform people outside our party be
justified to rule the populists out of
the reform movement if tbey have
made such a record as traders and
piehunters as Mr. Holt discloses? At
any" rate, as the democrats and silver
republicans in Orpgon supported Wat
son, it is manifestly unfair to charge
them with'whrtt has been oone else
wberf , but let us have co more com
promising and misleading ''breakes"
from prominent me-ebers of our party.
We have had too many of them al
ri ady. ' .
Now as to the question of party prin
ciple it is certainly understood all
ii rou nd by this time that the union
platform will include direct legisla.
lion, government legal tenders and
free coinage of botb precious met.aU at
th Irgai lutio. why ihf n this persist
ent burping about the insufficiency of
free silver as a reform issue? What
can the peoj les party gaia by crying
down ono of its principles? Would it
not be more patriot!; for men Hire
Senator Holt, who have the honor of
representing our party in the state
legisditure, to dwell upon the import
ance o all of our principles? The
populists who are in favor of a union
purpose, 10 unite all the voters who
will subscribe to the above ntmed
rriocipl- s upon one ticket, and to sup
port candidates only who will pledge
themselves to their support. They ;
propose to select car di lutes fron alf I ft
parlies constituting this union, giving i
due consideration to the voting
srength of each party and the qualifi
cation of the candidates; they propose
to permit no trimming of principles,
and maintain a vigorous party policy
and strict party independence and au
tonomy. Tbey say that upon this plan
we can get the referendum and repre
sentation in congress favorable to our
views on finance; they say further that
the conditions are such that the peo
pies party cannot win singlebanded
This is briefly theposiMon of the union
people and it is well known. If any
one has any objection to this position
why don't be assail it fairly? If the
senator wants to argue frr the other
9ide, why does he build up a man of
straw and then with copious flow of
denunciatory eloquence proceed to de
molish his own work. Who is it that
proposes any "concession of principle,
who advocates boodle politics, who ud
vocates fusion with our political ene
mies.-' Nobody but Mr. Holt s man of
straw.
I em. and every populist ought to be
content to let the people at the primar
ies and in the convention decide this
question, but there are tvo things
which I desire to mention. First, the
gold bug press is full of admonitions to
the peoples party, "stand firm and go
it alone." Yesterday, Feb. 24th, the
i'elegram admonishes editorially the
populists to either get back into the
republican ranks or go it alone. I ba
lieye it a fairly good rule to follow
Do what your enemies don t want you
to do. If we have ever had and heeded
any advice from this source it is time
that we have no more of it. The other
matter which I want to emphasize is
that our loaders must stop their licen
tious use of opprobrious language in the
papeVs. It stamp them as man of small
caliber, who cannot maintain an argu
ment without scolding. I have recently
noticed three leading populists ad
vocating their policy though the public
press, almost.no argument was used, but
they delivered themselves of about a
column each of vehement denuncia
tion. These men betray the weakness
of their position, but the worst is, that
their fulminant tirades are paraded be
fore the public as characteristic of our
oarty. How is it that these men. every
one of whom bas drawn pay from the
public treasury, elected Dy populist
votes, can call the greater part of their
political associates piehunters without
feeli.ig the laughalo absurdity of
their position, or rant about bosses
ami party machines while declaring
their policy to either rule or ruin? I
a n in faver of thn referendum in this
matter, let the people rule and let us
abide by their decision.

AUTONOMIST WANT PEACE,
rub Lihre Hour of Trlnmpb Nesr at

New York, Feb. 25. A dispatch to
the TribuuafromvHavana sayc
In the uncertainty of tho relations
with the Uni'ed States, the impor
tance of the recent action of the auton
omist party is overlooked. Its central
committee has formally approved the
plan which is a confession of the fail
ure of the present scheme of autonomy
and an offer to the insurgents to con
cede everything except the withdrawal
of ti e Spanish flag. .
Its significance is in the fact that
.Senor Govin, of the au'.onomist cab
inet, was a leading spirit in the meet
ing, nnd offered the resolutions for
treating with the insurgents, which
contain a series of propositions out
linfd by Bibra two weeks ago when
tho taiical autonomist .party was
formed. These cover everything but
independence.

Chicago, Fob. 28 A special to -the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
According to a report placed before
President McKinley there are now
available for military duly in the
United States 10,073,716 able-bodied
men, and oi thesa 112,082 are already
in the militia, forming the nucleus of
a tremendous fighting force. This is
without considering the skeleton
United States army, which could on
short notice recruit up to 100,000 men.
There were at the close of 1896, or
ganized guards in every state aud
territory, except Alaska and Indian
territory, all of whom could he used
for active service in case of necessity.
Of the total force of 112,000, there are
100,000 in the infantry branch, 5000 in
the cavalry, 5000 in the artillery aad
about 2000 general officers. Camps
were held last year in many states at
which were present from 46 per cent
of the state forces in Texas, to 96 per
cent in Connecticut. The total appro
priations made by the United States
for militia was $400,000, while the var
ious states spent about $2,800,000.
It is estimatsd that the lime required
for concentrating for service would
vary from six hours in Nevada to three
days in Oklahoma, while the proportion
that would probably turn out for duty
ranges from 50 per cent in Indiana and
New Jersey, to 95 per cent in Penn
sylvania. New York is far ahead, so far as the
size of her National Guard is concerned,
having over 1-3,000 officers and men.
Pennsylvania is second with 8000,
and Illinois holds third place, with
6000.

New York, Feb. 28. In the church
of St. Peter and St. Paul Father Ma
loney spoke to a large coogregaiion on
the probabilities of war between the
United States and Spain. He said:
'I am for war if war is declared
not only as an American, but as a
Catholic priest. If the country's honor
is at stake, give your life if necessary
to sustain it. Tha is the true Ameri
can and Catholic principle. I do not
desire to see a war, but if it comes we
must abide by the government's de
cision and show our true spirit as
American citizens. Whether It is war
or)eace, w must do our duty. We
must support the government and Its
president whether he be a democrat or
a republican. People should be calm
and wait for tbe decision of President
McKiniey. If the Maine was destroy
ed by design we should strike the
blow, if justified, or demand indem
nity." Dr. Homer Wellman, of the Episco
pal church of Atonement, Brooklyn,
referred to the war talk last night in
his sermon. He said:
"Never since the days of the Spanish
inquisition have such terrible deeds
been countenanced as have been in
Cuba. There surely must be some
thing wrong with a nation that would
do such things. - War ' would be bar
barism, but it must be resorted to to
stop a worse kind of barbarism. The
discipline on tbe Maine was beyond
question, and the calamity could not
have been due to tbe carelessness of
her officers and men. The only re
maining possibility is that the calam
ity was planned by some on who was
or had been connected with tbe Span
ish government."
IT WAS NO ACCIDENT.
A Government Diver Says the Explosion
Was From Without.
Norfolk, Va., Feb. 27. United
States government diver. R. E. Cox,
who has just returned from Havana,
where be made an official investiga
tion of the Maine's bull, is here.
He made daily deecents for seven
days, and giving bis opinion from a
professional standpoint, says that he
is satisfied in his own mind that the
Maine was destroyed by either a sub
marine mine or a torpedo. He saw no
evidence of the battle-ship's magazines
having been exploded.
Cox was still under orders to make a
descent with the rest of tbe divers,
when cable instructions came to hi-n
to return to the Norfolk navy aid.
where he was wanted aboard the W.,i
slow to receive instructions in I'uiiig
and operating torprdoes
Cox also said that from what he
learned in Havana, had tbe Spaniards
so desired, tutj ciuld nave taved more
Atuciicu sailors. - ire says he learned
:hat on the ciht of the explosion,
neither Mon o Castle nor the Spanish
crusier -Alfonso XIII operated their
. arcbligtts.
WILL NOT BB A SENATOR.
Mr. Corbett's Claim to a Seat Was Not
Valid.
Washington, Feb. 28. In the sen
ate today consideration of the Corbett
case was resumed.
Bacon, (Georgia) addressed the sen
ate in opposition to Corbett's claim.
He fete that it was extremely fortunate
that in this case the senate was not
controlled by partisan motives, be
cause he thought it ought to be under
stood by legislatures that they must
perform their duties or the onus of
their failure should fall upon their
states.
Burrows (Michigan) followed with
an extended and elaborate argument
in opposition to seating of Corbett.
He maintained that the governor of a
state has no authority to till
i original vacancy.
aa
The rote on seating Mr. Corbett as
senator from Oregon was taken on an
amendment to the committee's report
declaring him entitled to a seat, an
was defeated by a voto of 50 to 19.

COURTSHIP AND MARRIAGE. !
Curious Customs Wactleed In Uttaav
Parts of the World.
Some of the customs peculiar to
courtship and marriage among the race
of dwarfs who inhabit the Andaman
island are, according to M. de Qnat-
refages, who recently published a book
called "The Pygmies," about these peo
ple, very peculiar. Not the least re
markable of them is the procedure of
courtship. The young man who has
made his choice uddresses himself to
the parents, who never refuse, but send
the girl into the forest, where, before
day, she conceals herself. The young-
man must find her.
If he docs not succeed he must re
nounce all claim to her. The wedding
ceremony pf these people is equally
curious. M. Quatrefages thus describes
it: "The two parties climb two flex
ible trees growing near each other,
which an old man then makes to bend
toward each other. When the head of
the man touches that of the girl they
ore legally married. Turning from
Asia to Europe, we find a very curious
custom prevailing in Itoumania. Among
the peasantry of this country, when a
girl attains a marriageable age her
trousseau, which has in the mean
while been carefully woven, spun and
embroidered by her mother and herself,
is placed in a painted wooden box. -
hen a young man thinln of asking
to be allowed to pay hie attentions to
the girl he is at liberty to open the box.
which is always placed in a convenient
position, and examine the . trousseau.
If he is satisfied with the quantity -and
quality of the dowry he makes formal
application for'the girl's hand, but, if
not, he is quite at liberty to retire.
CLUBS BEGAN IN ATHENS. '
Athenians Had tha 8ama Exeosas aa Men
of To-Day.
The birthplace of the enrlieet club is
a disputed point, but it is well known,
that Nu ma Pompilius, the second king
of Rome, who died II. C. 673, founded
trade guilds in Rome daring hie reign,
similar to the guilds of Uie craftsmen
which play so important a part in tho
history of the middle ages. At one
time there were 60 of these guilds in
Rome alone. Later they spread beyond
thi metropolis, for the boatmen of tbe
Seme at Paris and those of tbe lower
Rhone formed clubs of their own. The
guilds of Rome, however, scarcely an
swer to our idea of a club, says the .
Cleveland Recorder. We therefore turn
with greater confidence to Athens,
where such & club seems to have orig
inated. The old Athenian clubs were
not in all respects similar to those of
modern London and New York, but
there was nevertheless between them u
strong affinity. Aristotle, who flour
ished B. C. 384, tells us that men of the
Mnu trade nnd members of a particu
lar tribe were wont to club together for
business purponen. He goes on to say:
that others combined for the soke of
social intercourne, and adds that "them '
meet together for the sake of one an
other's company, and to offer sacri
fices; when they meet they both pay
certain honors to the gods, and at the
seme time take pleasure and relaxation,
among themeelves." Thin would seem
to point to Athens as being the birth"
place of the earliest club.
