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.

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.
