Aji IntoruitJiiR letter jKrom Our Hcrii Inr Cnrreapnatlent. Washington, P. 0., Oct IS. ISihtor Orrro.v PcorT: The uiaritinie conference boing held here this week ia an event of fur-reaching - iiiipoitiinco to tho nnvies and inerchant marine of all the world, twenty-one governments being repre sented by specially accredited officials. The objects, us set forth by Secretary Blaine in his brief sjieech opening tho Congicws, is to make navigation safer by revising u universal code of signals. Other matters of a like nature will come before the convention and it U hoped that the result of the delibera tions will be of universal value to hu manity. The personnel of tho conference is far above 'ho average. Every nation has sent mon of marked ability. Eng land, which has the largest interest at stake, is represented by a half dozen of her most noted naval experts, to gether with representatives of her mer chant's marine. Our shaio of foreign commerce is so small that wo might give to ourselves credit for a magnifi cent and disinterested regard for tho wolfaio of others. The hand shaking and receiving done by the president during one day is enough to entitle him to his salary without further work of any sort. On yesterday ho granted private and spe cial interviews to Senator Quay, U. S. 'P.., . 'r i -iii..t i t c JRasuKI -"usion, uunuuiui- jnmj, ui J Va., Gen. Dan Dickies, Justice Miller, of the Supreme Court, Comodoro Wnl kor, Eear Admiral Walker and Con gressman Kinsey. At noon the Ma rino Congress was received and at one o'clock there was a public reception, all tho members of a big Pennsylvania oxoursion being in the throng. As ho was about to escape from his duty, tho president was called out on tho portico to review tho procession of local col ored Odd Follows, who by zealous man agement wore enabled to prolong the torture to an unendurable length. Tho president finally escaped to his private apartments to lunch and just as ho wan wiping Baby McKee's face with his bib, tho committee representing tho Newsboy's National Association were announced. The ringleader had an address concealed on his person, which, after reading, he carefully han ded to Mr. Harrison as being a choice bit of good penmanship and bad En glish that ho might like to place in his private tiles. After Ibis amount of receiving the president is supposed to return to his study and Micro in tho silent watches of the night help Lijo Halford write the mossiige to congress. In the meantime should a committeoof Kick apoo Indians or tho representatives of tho United Female Easeballists drop around aftor supper ho will find pleas- uro in placing his good right hand on exhibition and allowing people to shake it in a vico or botweon their teeth or otherwise as may occur to them as desirable. Senator Quay is not pleased at drop ping out of sight in this administra tion, and is said to havo so told tho presidont in no measured terms on Wednesday. Mr- Quay has other grievances besides tho Philadelphia post-oflico appointment in fact ho has dozens of them. The latest is tho appointmont of a revenue inspector at tho request of llussoll Harrison nnd and in tho face of Mr. Quay's earnest opposition. Mr. Quay is said to havo told tho president that if ho presihtcd in ignoring tho friends who had elec ted him ho would go boforo no conven tion for a second term. I lo added that he would withdraw h'u support in such an event. Tho Pan-American visitors, as might havo boon expected and is mado evi dent in tho reports of Mr. Curtis to Secretary Rlaino, aro already surfeited with banquets and displays. Already they aro unanimous in their resolve to see no moro factories. The high liv ing, easy going South Americans nro oasily satisfied, not to say wearied, by tho display they saw in Now England. Mr. Rlaino favors an almost entire withdrawal from banquets for two weeks in order to giva tho gnosis u ! ehanoi) to recuperate. Ho thinks that i a uid mistake has boon iniido in su- poking that the allnir was propeily a gigantic wining and dining.

T learn by tho ovidonco of somo of our Union millers, in tho case of 0. C. Cove it Co. vs Island City M. it M. Co. that 240 pounds of- wheat make a barrel of flour 1UG pounds. Tho farmers, win n exchanging wheat for Hour, give 11(50 pounds of wheat for a barrel of Hour. This thou, taking their own figures for it, gives tho mill 52 pounds of Hour and 1 18 pounds of bran and shorts for grinding it a protty big toll.

OrcRtm as n Home. Pcoplo in tho eastern country when contemplating going west havo, on account of tho great prominence givon to that country by tho discovery of gold years ago, turned their attention to California as a sort of olysium whero all tho pleasures of this lifo may be obtained. Californians havo eager ly seized upon tho advantages to their stato flowing from this opinion and havo pulled and blowcd and fanned in to an intenso heat this gold begotten thought by tongue, pen and press till they havo got tho world to boliovo it is. so. Rut there is a limit and end to falso notions as thero is to lifo itself "Tho truth will out." Tho pcoplo east havo been bilked and duped by theso erroneous notions and lost money in booms in California till, liko a child burned by tho firo, thoy havo got their eyes open. They havo learned that tho soil in that stato is no richer than soil in Oregon, and that a certainty of a 'crop cannot bo relied on. Thoy havo also learned that pcoplo cannot subsist on elimato falono. Thoy havo,. aftor long years, learned that thero is such a placo as Oregon and that jt is not as bad as represented, but on tho contrary has a good elimato; better,, all thing considered, than California,, and that Oregon can produco 'all tho fruit products grown in this latitude of tho earth, and what is a still more im portant fact, that crops aro certain in Oregon. No failures havo occurred sinco its first sottlemont "way back in tho forties." It is also crcoping into tho heads of eastern pcoplo that Orcgonians aro not savages and that enlightenment and all its concomitant advantages may bo enjoyed. Our educational syslom is exccllont, as good as any in tho Uni ted States, and that, as a consequence, wo havo an oxcollont stato of society. Then tho prico of land is on an av- erago 100 per cont. cheaper than in California. Theso facts aro becoming known and tho people aro turning their attetuion to Oregon. This is no vam boasting, no land booming scheme, no effort to induce people to como by scores and hundreds to pur chase worthless lands. Wo advise all eastern men who want to enjoy a good climate and find good soil to come and sco for themselves, look at the country and its products and institu tions, and if they find Oregon not what we claim for it, then go else where. Wo aro willing to bo examined and if found wauling will submit with out a mtirmor to tho judgment of ten sible pcoplo.
