Eastern Oregon physicians are dis
puting about the existence of small
pox in their, part of the state. Some
of them make light of the wide spread
fears. A Peodleton doctor concludes
a letter to the EastOregonian with the
following statements: "The disease
prevailing has the clinical symptoms
of smallpox, and only lacks the usual
virulence Uncomplete the typical dis
ease From the first cases that ap
peared In this neighborhood an epi
demic started in the state of Missouri,
which was promptly labeled by the
health board f that slate, smallpox.
Instead of regarding this disease in
the light of a trifling malady, it. should
be the duty o: all communities, to ex
ercise care lei-t we find ourselves con
fronted with a ravaging disease."
The remains of the man found four

Yesterday afternoon Indian ueorge,
who lives near Celilo, discovered the
body of a man close to the O. R, & N.
track and near to the fish wheel owned
by Pete, the Chinaman, which is lo
cated about four miles west of Celilo:
On finding the body the Indian did
not wait long to hold an investigation,
as he was frightened, but went to
Celilo as quickly as he could and in;
formed Mr. Taffe of his discovery. He
was unable to give any description
and simply stated that the body , was
there and that the mans coat was some
distance from the remains, which
looks as if there might be something
wrong. Mr. Taffe telephoned to
Sheriff Kelly, who promptly notified
Cornorer Butts and an inquest will be
held as soon as possible. Mr Butts
has already gone to the scene of the
discovery and may bring ' the remains
here for the inquest, fit is likely, that
they are those of some tramp, who
died from an attack of sickness or it
may be a case of foul play. . ;

one feel like dancing to their hearts'
content. - While theso Wednesday
night dances are somewhat informal
they are for. that reason the more en
iovable. ... Everyone goes with1 . the
intention' of having, a good time and
they are , not disappointed. The
dancing continued until shortly after
11 o'clock when .the jovial crowd dis
persed with the avowed intention of

M. J. Anderson, of the Summer -Fallow
Machine CooiDany, of Dufur, in
forms us that they at present have ten
men employed, in their factory and are
turning out two machines dally. His
company are at present figuring with
the Canton Plow Company and may
allow that firm to manufacture the
machines on a royalty. If this is done
they will be in a shape to close up their
factory and to retire from business. It
is their intention, howeyer, if they
can arrange to keep the states of Ore
gon and Washington aud to increase
their force to thirty men, in which
Case they will be able to turn out at
least ten machines per day. jlf their
business increases to this extent Mt
will be ' necessary for them to ; move
their' factory to a town into which a
railroad runs in order to save the ex
cessive freight rates on material and
machines to and from Sheir factory,
and in this case they will' probably
locate in The Dalles. ! i 1
ON THE ALTAR OF
IMPERIALISM
Brave General Lawton
Falls a Victim.
AS ENULI8H OPINION.
Boer War gonads Death Knell of Imperial
I . Federation.
New York," Dec; 21. A special "to
the World from Toronto says'; Dr.
Goldwin Smith coodemns 'tlje stand
taken by Great Britain in the South
African war in no uncertain words.
He quotes approvingly from a letter
received from "a highly educated Eng
lish gentleman with the sentiment of
his class." which deplores the war as
unjustified, aB the ruination of harmony
among the races and as Implanting in
ths breast of the Boer inestlnguishable
hatred of Great British, the only re
deeming feature of the war being that
it sounds the death knell of imperial
federation, as no colony would be found
to unite in a political scheme which
would put it at the mercy of every gust
of Ill-formed passion that might for a
moment agitate thecentral power. Mr.
Smith says:
''My correspondent might have re
marked that it is not even by a gust of
pooular passion that we have been
swept Into war, but by. the .machina
tions of two men for their owe person
al object.', one of the two being not
'ess known for unscrupulous ambition
than be is for bis ability, and the other
being Cecil Rhodes.
"The stalking horse of 'enfranchise
ment for the uitlanders' having served
its purpose, has been laid aside and
replaoed by- 'British supremacy in
South Africa.' The pretense of 'human
right,' under whioh the clerical abet
tors of the war shelter themselves, has
been laid aside, the watchword now
being 'equality lor. all white men,'
while the brown men, 'vastly outnum
bering -the whites, are philanthropl
cally consigned to indefinite bondage.
"As, It is the end iji certain, and by
this time may practically have' come.
Yet the stand which this little farmer
commonwealth has made for its' in
dependence against the. banded forces
of a world-wide empire backed by the
diplomatio encouragement of the great
powers, Including the American repub
lic, has hardly a parallel in history." '
Fatal Fl(ht Between Lawyers.
St. Louis, Dec. 21. A Post-Dispatch
special from Dallas, 'Texas, says that
F. M. Etherldge, a prominent lawyer,

New York, Deo.;20.--A dispatoh to
the World from. Antwerp says: Two
great prayer-meetings were held to

gathered from a'i Holland.' The
Transvaal hymn was wag and 6,000

One. More Commission.
Washington' Dec. 20. A bill
authorizing the "appointment by the
president of a commisiob to visit China
ana J apan ana report upon toe com
mercial and industrial conditions of
these countries was Introduced in the
house today by Hepburn (Iowa).. It
provides for a commission of five mem
bers one each from the Eastern,
Middle, Southern, Western and Pacific,
states.. The ' commission is to spend
at l-ast one year in China and Japan
and $75,000 is provided for expenses.
New York, Dec. 20. Charles D.
Pierce, consul in the city from the
Orange Free State, said last night that
aopllcants for t nlistment in the
Boer army were still visiting his office
in a steady stream.
I.cannot . do anything for them,"
said he, "because I have no authority
to take such a course. I refer them to
our consul at The Hague, and tell
them they will have to pay their own
expenses, which would amount to
about MOO, in getting to South Africa.
The majority of the applicants are
American soldiers who fougDt in the
Spanish-American war."
Asked what he thought about the
way things were going in South Africa,
Mr. Pierce said:
The British can send 1,800,000
troops down there instead of 180,000 if
thev want to, and still they won't
get the upper hand for a year or
two. It Is not the side with the most
troops that is going to win, but the
Side that shoots straightest."
. TROCBLE INCKEA8IKG.
Emperor, of Abyssinia Threatens . to Give
. . England a Brash.
New York, Dec. 20. London pa
pers just received display much anxi
ety over tbi attitude of Menelik,
mparor of Abyssinia, toward England.
At present there is a dispute between
this potentate and Great Britain as to
the boundary between Egypt and
Abyssinia and it is feared that Mene
lik may consider the present, an
excelieril11 ltirvf-to muk'a demontara
tion against the British.
The question ot the frontier settle
ment was discussed last' year at Adilis
Adebra, where Mr. Renael-Rodri. first
secretary of the British diplomatic
agency at Cairo, went to deliver
magnificent presents to the negus and
conciliate him. Tbekinsof Ethiopa
have always claimed the surzerainty
of the territories extending northward
as far as Nubia, southward to Mom
basa and westward to the White Nile.
Menelik claims to be the owner of the
right bank of the river from the 14th
to the second degree of latitude, justi
opposite Fasboda. He reiterated
these preventions as early as 1891 in a
diplomatic addressed to all European
powers aud the contents of which
were identical with the claims he
discussed later with. Mr. Rennel-Rodd.
England had been contemplating the
building of a railroau from Cape Town
to the Mediterranean, but this scheme,
will be spoiled if Menelik holds the
country he claims. It is said Erfgland
was - preparing to begla a war against
Abyssinia before the Transvaal dif
ficulties arose, acd It would be of an
aggressive character and looking to a
conquest of Ethiopian territory.
Things look differently now, Menelik
may be the aggressor, or, rather, the
nvade, if he is troubled io his presen t
occupation of what he claims to be his
own. Realizing for some time that
war 'with England was inevitable,
Menelik has been' making extensive
preparations," and has" collected large
stores of war supplies. He caa'put an
army Of 200,000 well trained and
equipped soldiers ir i the field, and.
the Abyssian soldier are good fight
ers .
THE. CANAL .

Little Hope of Its Passage

' Hawaii's 'Sugar Crop.
San Francisco, Dec. 19. Reports

in the Hawaiian islands gives the
New YORK, Dec 21. A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Legislation providing for the construc
tion of a translstbmlan canal is not
probable under the present session of
congress. Both the Nicaraguan canal
committee in the.senate, presided over
by Senator Morgan, and the bouse
committee on "interstate aud foreign
commerce, presided over by Mr.. Hep
burn, of Iowa, propose to take the
matter up without waiting for the re
port of the Walker commission. It is
extremely ' improbable however, that
they will be able to get a bill through
ei ther house of congress before that re
port is available.
The Walker commission will leave
New York on January 6, going direct
to Graytown, Nicaragua, by the regu
lar mail steamer.- They will go over
the route of the Nicaraguan canal to
the Pacific side and will then goby
steamer to the Pacific end of the Pana
ma route. The commission has now
in the field 10 surveying parties.
The commissioners estimate that it
will take about a year for them to
coniplete all their work and make
their report.
Senator Morgan has never given his
approval to the sending of the addi
tional commissions to this isthmus,
being satisfied with the information
already available as to the practica
bility of the canal. He will endeavor
total product as 282,807 tons, which is 00 nawe nls DU1 reportea irom tils corn
one of the largest in years. J mittee soon. Representative Hep
burn also believes the provision for
the Walker commission was intended
to delar the construction of a canal

mittee lake up the subject immedia

Boers Ready for Peaea.
New York, Dec. 21. A dispatch to
the World from Brussels says: Herr
Holbern. in charce of the Transvaal
agency here, asked today what truth
therein io the report that President
Kruger is ready - to sign a treaty ot
peace if Great Brltlan will ask for no
futber privileges for the uitlanders,
and will pay what the war has cost the
Boers, answered: .
No such proposal have been formu
lated yet. A contingency invitinir
proposals of peace would Jbe welcome
under certain conditions. If any gov
ernment desires to mediate, the South
African republic will treat."
Butler's Onas Were Lost .
New York, Deo. 21. A dispatch to
the Herald from Loudon says: Little
oredence Is place in the report that
the guns lost by the British were not
captured by the Boers. Had the story
been true, General Buller must have
referred to it. Sir Redvers artillery
cannot now muster much more than SO
guns, while the caDlured British wea
pons have no doubt .been mounted in
the Boer lines and can be used, slnoe
the ammunition wagons seem to have
been lost with them.
