AMERICAN
PROPOSALS
Spain Objects to Giving up
the Philippines Islands.
Paris, Nov. 4. The joint session of
the peace commissioners today lasted
two hours. Tbe Spaniards refused the
proposals made by tbe Americans on
Monday lasr, but negotiations were not
broken off. While it is believed ou
formal counter propo ition was made,
there was a brief discussion of the
Pbilippiue question outside tbe lines
of tbe American propositions.
Tbe commissioners then adjourned
until Tuesday next.
Tbe statemeat is p inted herd today
with much prominence that tbe
Americans will iusist upon tbe im
mediate aud complete surrender of
Spain's sovereignty over tbe Pbilip-
piues, and in tbe event of the Spanish
cummiesiouers refusing to agree to
ibis, Jude Dy, acting under instruc
tions from Washington, will present
an u.t.mu'jm to the Spaniards. It is
further aliened tuat this seeming haste
is due to a desire to settle tbe negotia
tions before the elections in the United
States takes place.
Gaulois today says it baa been in
formed on absolutely reliable authority
that Spain will ref'ise to discuss the
unconditional surrender of the Puilip
pines. The Fronde says: "The claims of
tbe Uuited States on tbe Pbilippiues
are looked upon with disfavor at
St. Petersburg. The powers might, in
case of tne Americaus proving too ob
stinate on this point, be provoked to
protest.

Paris, Nov. 4. A remi official not
issued this evening sayx tbe govern
ment has resolved not to retain the
Marcband mission at ETashoda, adding
that thi9 decision was arrived at by
the cabinet after an exhaustive exam
ination of the question.
LONDON, Nov. 4.Tue most reliable
Information from Paris confirms the
earlier reports that M. Dupuy, tbe pre
mier, has decided to wash his bands of
Fashoda and to; recall Major March-
i aud, for whose mission he is not res
ponsible.
This decision is, -to some extent,
due to a de-ire to allow nothing to
interfere with the success of the expo
sition of 1900. Today will be import
ant in the history of the crisis. It is
expected that Baron de Courcel, the
French ambassador, will impart the
French decision to Lord Salisbury,
who will speak this evening at the
banquet to be given the sirdar, Gen
eral Lord Kitchener. '
CUB INS ON A STRIKE.
General Wood Will Place Tbem
Under
Arrevt For Vagrancy.
Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 4. The
Cubans, who have been employed in
cleaning and repairing the streets of
Santiago, have struck for higher pay,
though they have bee" - receiving a
dollar a day, or 50 cents and two ra
tions, which is higher wages than have
ever before been paid for similar work.
In fact, tbe local employers of labor
have been comolaininf? of this bigh
rate, alleging that it was quite impos
sible for them to compete with the
government on such term. The Cu
ban laborer, at tbe best, are lazy and
slipshod. They want an increase of
50 .wnrs a day.
General Leonard Wood absolutely
refuses to aicede to the demand, and
will dopt heroic measures, if the
strike Is not promptly declared off.
The trouble i's that many of the stri
kers have rations enough on hand to
last a month or morf,, and they think
they can coerce tha United States au
thorities. ARRIVAL OF TUB TUG HEBRITT,

Charleston, S. C, Nov. 6. Te
tuff Merritt put into Char'eston this

the cruiser Maria Teresa f ff San Sal

midst o' a furious storm.
Tbe cruiser left Caimanera, Cuba, on
the morning of October 30, in tow for

PORTO RIOAN8 DISSATISFIED.
They object to the Government Given
Them by the Americans.
New York. Nov. 4. General Roj
StO'if, who bas just returned from
Porto Rico says:
"The people of Porto Rico are not
at all satisfied with American rule
There i? a growing difference between
the natives and the militia which it-
greatly to be regretted. When the
army of occupation first invaded the
island, tbe natives received the Amer
icans cordially, and they wished to be
treated as people of tnis country aad
not as a conquered province. The treat
ment thev have received at our hands
bas been just the opposite. This has
produced a chill.
"What the Porto Ricans want is to
betaken in as part of the United Stites.
They do not expect to enter the Union
as a state, but as a people in training
to be advanced to statehood. In addi
tion to this, they want free trade with
the United States, and there is no
reason that I can see why they should
not have it. At present they are
forced to pay duty on all imported
goods, Spanish goods incldded, which
were free before."
CA1LED DOWN GENERAL PEREZ.
Commander Wood Refused to Permit
Execution of a Cuban.
Santiago DeC'tjba, Nov. 6. An in
cident has ocrured here which is cans
ion much talk among the Cubans and
may create ill-feeling. Tbe Cuban
general, Perez, who bas ahalfadoz
en times announced his intention to
disband tbe troops under bis com
mand, but bas not yet done so, recent
ly ordered the trial by court martial of
one of his men on a charge of desert
ing from tbe armv io time of war.
The prieoner was condemned to death
but berore the death sentence was exe
cuted, notification was tent to Colonel
Rny of the Third immune regiment,
who laid tbe matter before General
Wood, commander of' tbe military de
partment of Santiago. Perez was in
formed that if the man was executed
that tie and tbe firing party would he
hanged as soon as the courts could le
gaily sentence them.'

WORSE THAN
AMERICAN SHOT
The Maria Teresa
Could Not
Brave a Storm.
Washington, Nov. 6 The cruiser
Infauta Maria Teresa, the captured
Spanish warship raised off Santiago
coast, foundered at sea off San Salva
dor, Bahamis, at Midnight Tuesday
during a terrible storm. Every man
of her crew was rescued by the tugs
which put in here today.
The vessel was unable to withstand
the t train of the wind and waves, her
seams opened, she filled and sank in
water thousands of fathoms deep.
The report of Lieutenant Com
mander Harris to the secretary of the
navy gives an account of the sinking of
the vessel. It wa9 found on November
1st that tbe Ohio had been badly
strained by the heavy seas, and was
taking water rapidly. Pumps were
put to work, but could gain no head
way on tbe water, and it was soon
evident that the ship must go to tbe
bottom of the sea. When this was
discovered, every energy was put forth
to get everything movable 'off tbe
doomed cruiser, and so effective was
the work that when the Teresa went
down all the men and property bad
been removed.
LECTURE CS ON GREEU.
German Newspapers Kspoose the Canse of
Spain.
Berlin, Nov. 6 The news that the
United States now demands the whole
of the Philippine islands has created
much interest here. Tbe German
newspapers comment unfavorably up
on it.
Tbe Cologne Gazette says: "The
nterests of Germany will be especially
injured by the American annexation.
as tne policy of tne open door wnicn
has hitherto reigned under tbe Span
sh flag will be quickly ended. More
over, tne American aetoana irom a
humane point of view is unheard of.
It means the squeezing of a fallen foe
to the last drop of blood, and would
sully the name of the victor. The
whole symDatbies of the world would
be on tbe side of Spain, brutally
ground down by ber enemy."
National Zejting points out that the
Philippine islands would in American
hands, . become not only of immense
commercial, but of - paramount im
portance, -'which all tbe powers that
have become interested in the far east
are bound to seriously coueider."
Therefore, the National. Zeitnng
thinks some power may oppose the
change of ownership. .
The Vossische Zeitung lectures the
United Staus for its alleged greed and
tbe Deutsche Zeitung describes the
United States' demands as an unfortu
nate piece of characteristic "Yankee
mpudence, and calls upon Europe
to put its foot down while there is ytt
time.
WALLACE MINING CO. 8TJKD. .
Half
Doaen Attachments on Black Clond
Mine and Mill.
Wallace, Idaho. Nov. 6. Half a
dozen attachments were filed against
the Wallace Mining Company today,
and others are being prepared. Tbe
company is the- owner of the Black
Cloud and Iowa lodes and millsites and
the Black Cloud concentrator, situated
on Nine Mile and two miles north of
Wallace. Tbe stock is all held east,
mostly by New York men, being re
presented here by an agent. The con
centrator, wa9 built last summer but
when it started up tbe ere was two
lean to pay for milling. Since then
work has progressed on a lower tunnel
in the hope that when it cut the lead
tbe ore would be better. There was
lots of good ore in the upper workings,
but it was mostly carbonate and the
loss in milling was too great.
MAX CACSt MORE TROUBLE.
American Troops May Have to Fight
Philippine Innrg-euts.
New YORK, Nov. 7. A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Major Simpson,, of General Merritt's
staff bas just returned 'from Manila,
and though personally he does not
seem to fear "serious trouble with the
forces of Aguinaldo. he says thpre is a
distinct sentiment among he United
States troops that there may be more
trouble and that more troops may be
eeded.
Aguinaldo's force is reckoned at
bout 30,000. and Major Simnson freely
admits that tbe rebels are in control
of the island of Luzon.
Tbe recent attack on Tloiio by tbe
forces of Aguinaldo recalled to Major
Simpson tbe fact that Aguinaldo bad
some transports, and that about 500 of
the Luzon troops bad been carried to
the island of Panay.' On the island of
Mindanao, the situation is not under
stood, as the inhabitants are mostly
Mohammedans. Little or no investi
gation of the situation tbere has been
made by our army. Back in the hills
of Luzon many -tribes, are almost un
civilized, and have never felt tbe force
of either the insurgents or Spaniards.
WRECKED BY EXPLOSION OF GAS.
United States Supreme Courtroom
Badly Demoll-hed.
Washington, Nov. 7. Vn explo
sion of gas and fire at 5:15 yesterday
afternoon, wrecked thf supreme court
room and tbe rooms immediately ad
joining io on tbe main Door of the
caoitol. The entire central-eastern
part of tbe great mirble pile, from the
main floor to the subterranean base
ment, practically is .a mass of ruins.
The force of tbe explosion, was 'so
heavy that the copping' stooes'on tbe
outer walls, just east of the point
where the explosion occurred, were
bulged ont nearly two inches, and
locked doors were forced from their
binges quite 150 feet from the scene of
it. Fire followed the explosion so
quickly as to seem practically simul
taneously with. it.
The explosion shook the immense
structure to its foundations, and was
heard several squares from the capi-
tol. It occurred in a small room tight
Iv inclosed bv heavy stone walls in
Mietsuoterraneao basement, immedl
ataly below the main .entrance to the
old capitol building.- In tbis room
was a 500-iight gas meter, which was
fed bv a four-inch main. Very little
gas was used io tbis part of tbe build
ing, but at tbe tim-J of the explosion
the gas bad not beeoturned off at the
meter. The meter itself was wrecked
and the gas pouring from the main
caught fire.

NOBTUWKT NOTES.
In 1896 there were sbinped from the
Ashland depot about 70.000 boxes of
peaches which netted tbe growers ap
proximately $21,000, but for this year
tbe number of boxes shipped was
60,000 while the net pric was $28,000.
The profits, of course, were much
better than tbey were last year.
The mining outlook for the state of
Oregon is generally acknowledged to
be excellent. Tbe pat year a great
number of miningexperts have looked
over the various mining districts and
invariably nbese men report that they
have been agreeably surprised at the
magniScent showings the developed
mines are making. Aside from the
gold districts there is in Southern
Oregon some excellent copper pros
pects, that so far as indications on
the surface go ouly need the right
kind of men with money to open tbem
up. The section referred to is an ideal
one for mining. Timber and water
are in abundance, and with a few miles
of railroad the copper . could be
marketed very cheaply. Western

LOOK OUT FOR METEORS.
A Grand Free Pryotechnle Display la loe
. this Month.
The advance guard of. tbe great
November meteor swarm is due tbis
month, and on tbe nights of 13tb, 14th
and 15th astronomers i all parts of
the earth will be awake on the look
out. Tbey will be both surprised and
disappointed if a meteoric spectacle,
which may be a brilliant one, is not
beheld by some of the watchers. The
main swarm of tbe meteors is not due
until November, 1899, but their ad
vancing columns, broken into paral
lels and separated by considerable
gaps, occupy so much space on the
celestial highways they traverse that
millions of tbe mysterious little bodies
must already have reached tbe neigh
borhood of the earth's orbit, and it
can hardly happen that many of these
will not become entangled by the ter
restrial attraction, and dart their
fiery spears through the upper air.
Tbe reader may lik tobe reminded
that this, tbe greatest known "meteor
shower," ' has a period of 331 years;
that thb history of these meteors has
been traced back '" to the year A. D.
125, when the planet Uranus is be
lieved to have captured tbe wander
ers ard turned them into a permanent
orbit around the sun; that a comet
(Tempel'p) is known to be traveling
in the same orbit with them, and that
the world was astonished at the mag
nificence of tbe displays which they
made in 1833 and 1866.
Tbe point In tbe heavens from which
the meteors appear to radiate is titu
ated within the curved blade of the
imaginary "sickle" which, marks the
constellation 'Leo. This is not well
risen until midnight, but late in tbe
evening meteors radiating from it may
be seen shooting upward from the
northeastern '. horizon. Observers
are advised to begin watching for
tbem about 11 p. rn., on November 11,
keeping up tbe watch for five nights
altogether and continuing it until the
morning- twilights begin. Fortun
ately, there will be no trouble from
the moon, which is "new" on the
3th.
A Noble Life Ended.

A Meritorious Mnslcale.
Through tbeiintiring efforts of Prof.
Ryan, Wilder's quintet, of Portland,
has been induced to give a musical en
tertainment in Tbe Dalles on tbe
evening of Nov. .17th. This quintet
is acknowledged to comprise some of
the very . best musicians on the coast
and it will be a rare treat to the peo
ple of The Dalles to listen to these ac
complished musicians. Ia addition to
the Wilders, Miss Michel) bas kindly
consented to sing two solos on the
evening of their entertainment.

United Slates has bad tbe result of

termined to take tbe islands. In
structioos sent t Mr. Day chairman
of tne American commission will re
quire him aud his colleagues to renew
Thursday- their demand for cession
of tbe group to the United States, and
they will make in their communica
tion the first offer of money in pay
ment for tbe islands.
It is understood that the president
will consult tomorrow with some of
his advisers concerning tbe amount to
be named in the American communi
cation, but the sum to be paid will not
under any consideration exceed tbe
aggregate of tbe debts contracted by
the Spanish government for improve
ments in tbe Philippine. All mili
tary debts, and debts contracted in
the name of other, islands, such as
Cuba, will be barred, and the Spanish
commissioners will be informed that
they must recognize this fact as soon
as possible.
Secretary Hay received a full state
ment of the context of the Spanish
note. Its character was just what tbe
officials expected, without any argu
ments of importance. Senator Rios
and his colleagues call attention to
the action of the government in de
livering a note through M. Cambon,
the French arrbassador, to President
McKinley, which set forth the under,
standing of tbe Spanish government
that in agreeing to the protocol its
sovereignty ' over tbe Philippines
would not be affected.
P1!B NEEDLES.
A ' Novel Industry at Grants
Pass,
Josephine Connty.
There is a factory at Grants Pass,
which converts pine needles into what
is termed pine needle wool, a commod
ity used like excelsior as a "stuffing'
for msttresses and other furniture.
Of tbis industry, tb following inter
esting item appears in the Grants
Pass Courier:
"Last Saturday was pay day at tbe
Paeifie pine needle . factory for tbe
needles tbe children picked and de
livered during tbe week. The scene
was an attractive one, tbere being at
least 125 children of all sizes on tbe
platform at one time awaiting their
turn to be paid off. Mr. and Mrs,
Cords have adopted the plan of giving
tbe children a check book wnich will
contain tbe amounts delivered during
the week that each one may keep an
account of tbe amount for which he
will exoect pay on Saturday. The
children may deliver in small quanti
ties each day and have tbem weighed
at 5 o'clock or later . Mr. and Mrs
Cords are very kind to tbe children
and tbey are very anxious that the
little fellows may make a few dimes
otherwise it would be much less trou
ble to have '.he needles delivered by the
wagon load. , Several . tons were
weighed and paid for last Saturday
and tne children went home happy,

I THE LAST sAD KITES.
Remains of
Phil Brog-aD Laid
In the
Tomb.
The last services that friend can do
a friend was today performed by the
friends of the late Phil Brogan.
At 9 o'clock the funeral cortege left
th family residence on Fourth street
and proceeded to St. Peter's Catholic
church, where the impressive ser
vice, a high mass of requiem, was ob
served.
nev. Father iironsgeest delivered a
touching and eloquent address, one
that will long be remembered by the
large number of sorrowing friends who
were present. Father Bronsgeest and
the deceased bad been warm friends
for many jear; and ooue couid more
truly bespeak bis noble qualities than
tne priest wno naa Known him so
intimately for years. Truly could he
tell of bis worth as a citizen, his love
of home and family, and his devotion
to tbe church. -
At tbe conclusion of the sermon, tbe
pall bearers, Messrs. J. Malooe. Don
ald McRae, M. T. Nolan. Alex Mc
Lellan, Al. Bettingen and H. J. Maier
carried the casket from tbe church,
while hundreds of beads were bowed
in sorrow for tbe departed Mend and
neighbor.
At the grave an impressive prayer
was offered for the dead, and the tomb
was covered with heautiful cut flowers,
offerings of affection that spoke louder
than words of tha friendly ties
that bound the dead to the living.
The roses and cannas are now in
bloom, come and order while you can
see them. We have dormant Calla
Lilly bulbs at 15 cents, plant now for
xmas blooming, also Paneies for early
spring blooming. Mrs. A. C. Stubllng
