THE PEACE JUBILEE IN WASH
INGTON. A Parade Stretching for Milea-The
Civic Parade Surpasaea the
Military-A Gala Day at
the Capital.
Washington, D. C, May 25th.
The capital city has been haviDg
three daye, magnificent pageant.
There is no discount to be made
on the success of the Peace
Jubilee. The common feeling
among those who looked on was
that there was a tremendous at
tempt to make a great deal out of
the idea of peace being established
between Spain and America; more
than the occassion warranted.
The wonderful success of the two
days that have passed has silenced
all criticism and left a feeliDg
that the greatest success has re
warded the effort.
The first day was devoted to a
milirary parade that covered every
branch of warlike aft. The parade
was at least two hours in passing
the Land Office, where a select
company of friends witnessed it.
There were at least a dozen bands
scattered through ! the miles of
procession. . The military program
included every hue of regimentals
and variety of uniform. Colors
were blended so that the Boiled
costumes of the men who stormed
the bill at Santiago contrasted
with the gay paraphrenalia of the
fancy companies from the great
cities of Philadelphia and Balti
more. JJromthe windows ot tiie
vast Interior building we looked
out on all this very comfortably.
A feature that was interesting
to the people here was a company
of Chinese from Philadelphia.
These were dressed in nearly
white uniforms and. marched well.
It seems there is a christian mis
sion at that city and the supposi
tion is that these were christianized
chinamen. There was cavalry of
all sorts, from the district boys
who were spick span new, two the
rough riders who went afoot np
El Cano hill. The dear country
people looked on all this with full
enjoyment and the dull eyed citi
zen, even, was for the time de
lighted. In the evening there
were tire works at the Monument
and perhaps a hundred thousand
spectators witnessed them. There
is plenty of room in what is called
the "Monument lot," and there is
where great pageants are put on
the stage. Those fireworks were
firery representations of war and
and showed its fearfuluess on the
sea as well as the laud.
The second day there was a
civic parade that was, if possible,
more attractive than the military.
Each afternoon the departments
bad a half holiday and the em
ployees could see the celebrations.
This afternoon a party of ua went
from the Keumore and took the
car Hue to the lower Pennsylvania
avenue. We camped on Lafayette
square, in front of the White
House. There we bad the finest
possible opportunity to see the
procession as it passed, and could
see the world around ns. All the
way down the avenue there was
continual display and variety in
ornamentation. The fronts of
public buildings had graceful dis
play of the national colors, some
times done grandly. Ilotels and
business bouses were ornamented
in every possible style of decora
tive art This lasted for two
mile; but the finest display of all
was when we reached the "Court
of honor" so called, which includes
the presidential mansion and
grounds and the immense struc
tures of the treasury, war and
navy, and state departments.
We were in front of the White
House. The tniong there was
immense; there were tens of
thousand) in eight. All the colors
of the rainbow were distributed
among the crowds. We stood on
the edge of tb Lafayette square,
wLich was raised above the street
several feet From there wh bad
tq pYrlook the rrowfj on th i le-
walk and those who eat in seats
that had been built for the occas
ion and rented at 50 cents to a
dollar. There came along a dark
ey who was loaded down with
chairs; these we subsided and then
were literally in clover. We were
on the green sward and sat at
ease until the procession went by;
then we stood on the chairs and
overlooked those in front and saw
all to the best advantage. Off to
the left his excellency, the presi
dent of the United States, was re
viewing the prssing events, and
taking off his bat to every flag aa
it went by. I am sorrry to say
that be did it too quickly to be
graceful. It was not dignified, but
perhaps I was the only one who
noticed it.
The most beautiful thing in this
civio display was a large vehicle
loaded with little girls of average
eight to ten years, all dressed in
white and as beautiful as could be.
All recognized this as the most
delicious feature of all. It seemed
to embhfy purity and innocence.
The laughing faoes of those child
ren could have been something to
dream of. It bad not got out of
our sight when a scream went
from tbem as the wagon broke
down and the children were pre
cipitated to the street. There was
rushing of thousands and so much
turmoil we could not learn what
harm was done. Two of the little
girls were badly hurt and were
hauled off in an ambulances.
Quite a number were injured
slightly. This spoiled the most
interesting feature of the day and
left a sad impression on every
mind.
There were beautiful floats,
beautiful illustrations, rare designs
and illustration of all the business
done in the city. When the
pageant was passed we had to get
home aa we ooald. The street oars
were blocked and none at our end
of the town. It was too comical;
the street was full of people who
could get nowhere and were sitting
on curb Btonea aud door steps
waiting for something to turn up.
We got home in time for dinner
by being old hands and used to
such acrimages.
Today there will be an hiatoric
parade that will be more interest
ing to maDy than anything that
has preceeded it. The first two
floats will show Columbus at the
court of Spain and landing in the
new world. Then comes the
the birth of oar flag; Wash
ington and his staff; the continen
tal infantry; crossing the Dela
ware; Perry on Lake Erie; these
are the principal featarea of the
parade. In the evening there will
be such revelry as this world sel
dom sees. This will take place at
Convention hall, where there will
be a throning of a Queen of
Beauty by the King of Bevels and
then he will lead off in the King's
cotillion, wherein the whole court
will take part
This ball will take plaoe after
the fireworks have finished. Take
the entire three days of the J ubilea
and Washington will have had its
oornival of Peace to the widest ex
tent. Then must be many thous
ands of people here from abroad.
The city is full of strangers.
Next month there is to be an
other jubilee over th fame of
Admiral Dewey. This is not gen
erally known as yet, but comes to
me because an Oregonian. who
has been the poet for the Jubilee
of Peace, has been asked to write
an ode for the occasion, to be set to
music by Santleman, the leader of
celebrated Marine band. It will
consist of three verses and each to
have a rousing chorus. It is in
tended that this shall be the
Dewey soDg of the age.
Mr. Hay, the King of the revels,
intends to deliver the ode referred
to at the Convention ball celebra
tion this evening. S. A. Clabke.

De.th Sentence of Frank Smith Conininted
by Governor Geer.
East Oregonian.
Salem, May 26 Governor Qeer baa
oommnted tbe death sentence ot Frank
It. Smith, who was to have been banged
at Jacksonville today, to h(e imprison
ment in tbe penitentiary.
HOW SMITH RECEIVED THE NBWS.
Ashland, May 26 Tbe aotion ot Gov
ernor Geer, in commuting tbe seotenoe
of Frank L. Smith to life imprisonment,
reaobed Sheriff Orme at Jacksonville, at
2 o'olook this morning. Upon receipt ot
tbe dispatoh the sheriff went to tbe jail
to inform Smith of tbe news. Upon be
ing awakened and told of the governor's
aotion Smith got np and danced aronnd
the cell, yet not in surprise, for he pro
fesaed to believe all along that bis sen
tence would be commuted.
A HISTORY OF THE CHIME.
On Sunday morning, February 13,
1898, there arrived in Ashland, Or., on
tbe oortb bound freight train of the
Southern Paoiflo company, one Peter
Nelson, a swede, aged 37 years,' bound
for Portland, having tramped and beaten
his way on the railroad from the Saora
mento valley, where be bad been work
ing as a farm hand. He bad in his pos
session a small, new trunk, containing
olothei and underwear, a pair of blanketa
and about $110 in money on his person.
He remained in Ashland until the fol
lowing night, making a few acquaint
ances iu tbe vioinily ot tbe depot, to
whom he oonveyed the information that
he was going to Portland to seek work
and would hunt up a countryman of bis
there, named Erioksoo, whom be thought
would assist him in obtaining employ
ment in tbe oity .
He had evidently been traveling in
company with other tramps before reach
ing Ashland, for while here be was ac
costed by an Italian who was bound
north and whom he had seen before, but
desired to have nothing to do with.
Nelson left town on Monday night's
freight train. Somewhere between Med
ford and Central Point be fell off tbe
moving train and was badly stunned,
but was able to walk to a nearby resi
dence, wbere be appeared about 2o'clook
Tuesday morning, February 15, and
awoke tbe family, who found Neleon
with bis skull fearfully fractured and tbe
oalp torn and bleeding. The man talked
ratber Inooberenlly, and after being
taken to Medford for medical treatment,
died soon afterward.
There was every evidence that the
Swede bad been assaulted and robbed
by bis companion and then thrown off
tbe moving train, for dead. His valise
and personal effects were cut open and
tbe contents aoaltered along tbe railroad
traok and quantities of blood were fonnd
on some ot tbe olotbing which bad been
rolled up and placed in a saok. His
pooket book had been out open and was
found empty. Tbe car in which tbe
assault, robbery and murder took pluoe
gave evidenoe of a bloody struggle.
Tbe Italian, Joe Lasalle, alias "Black
ey, was sutpeoled and tbere was evi
dence tbat several had been implicated
in tbe affair. The efforts ot the officers
to dlioover the onminals was rewarded
oon by tbe arrest at Koseburg of Frank
Lawrence Smith and another man, who
was afterwards discharged. "Blaokey,"
however, wbobaa always been tuspeoted
as the instigator ot tbe crime, and is thus
charged by Smith, was never appre
hended. There has been a suspicion
that after Nelson had been beaten to
death with the iron conphng-pin, which
was used as weapon, tbat Smith made
away with "Blackey," but tbia theory it
not generally oredited.
Smith, who was 20 years of age on tbe
2lst of tbia month, and who ia a native
of Pennsylvania, though bis relatives
now reside at Trenton, N. J., and, ao
oording to bia own statements, are not in
good repute, themselves, was tried In
tbe oirouit court of Jaokaon county at
tbe April, 1898, term and was coovioted
of murder In the first degree. Smitb
was sentenced by Judge Henna to be
bnog, tbe date being fixed for June 10.
A stay ot execution was secured and the
oase was taken to tbe supreme court
wbere toe lower court's rulings were
affirmed. On tbe first day of tbe April,
1899, term ot oourt Smitb waa again
brought before Judge Hanna who again
passed sentence upon bim, fixing tb(
date for bis execution for May 20.

The Second Oregon Regiment Vt 111 Land
la
Portland.
Washington, May 29 Seoretery Alger
has reoeived a cablegram from General
Otie in response to hie inquiry, announc
ing that a majority of the Oregon regi
ment ot volunteers at Manila bave de
oided to return by steamer direot to
Portland. Tbe Washington regiment
deoided to oome first to Sad Franoiaoo.
It bas been determined to allow the
volunteers serving in tbe Philippines to
deoide whether tbey shall be mustered
out at San Francisco or return to their
respective states aa organizations, and
be mustered out there. Seoretary Alger
is preparing a dispatoh to General Otis,
giving in detail tbe allowances for
travel, pay and rations to the respective
states, and this information is to be sub
mitted by him to tbe regiments, in order
that they can deoide, with all the fads
before them, whether ' they prefer to be
mustered out at San Francisco or to go
tbeir homes as organizations. Iu
either event eaoh soldier will be entitled
to two maotba' extra pay on muster out.
Tbe president has been anxious to
meet all the troops who served in the
Philippines, if thia were practicable, and
be has agreed to go to Minneapolis and
St. Paul to greet the Minnesota volun
teers. With tbe possibility that the
president might be unable to oontinue
hit trip further west, the twin oit'as
have undertaken to arranged for mobili
sation of all the volunteers as tbeir
guests. The first troopt are expeoted to
arrive in San Francisco tbe middle ot
Juue, and tbe last by August 1. The
jubilee, therefore, probably will occur
early in August. Tbe president's ac
ceptance of tbis invitation doet not
oeoeseiarily mean that he has abandoned
bit contemplated trip to tbe ooast.

"guilty of murder in the first degree."
after one hour's deliberation, and Circuit
Judge Geoage H. Barnett named Friday,
June 2d, aa the day when sentence
would be pronounced. Tbe verdiot
gave universal satisfaction in this city,
especially among thoee ot the oitizena
who had followed tbe hearing ot tbecaasi

tbe public ia with tbe nut her of the

tbere appears to be a popular feeling

FOU STEALING GOLD NUGGETS.
Fonnd Guilty and Sentenced to Two Years Iu
the Pen-Defendant Tries His Own Case.
Last Wednesday and Tburaday tbe
court room was crowded to tbe doora
and seats were at a premium. Tbe oaae
before the oourt was: Tbe State of Ore
gon vt. J. H. Morgan , for tbe laroeny ot
gold nuggets, amounting to $330, from
the Sloan & Haekell mine of Susanville.
Tbe defendant was arraigned before tbe
oourt on Tuesday and entered a plea ot
not guilty. When asked if be had em
ployed oounsel, be replied, "No", and
refused oounsel proffered by tbe oourt,
saying that he would defend hit own
case.
Tbe independent air assumed by tbe
prisoner and tbe faot that he was to de
tend hit own oase excited oooaiderable
interest and aooounted for tbe orowded
oourt room during the trial.
Tbe defendant, although endowed
with considerable gall, oondooted hit
case in an excellent manner and demon
strated to the spectators tbat it was t ot
bit first oase. Very likely be would
have been acquitted, had be not gone on
tbe stand and told bis stery of finding
these nuggets in a tin can on tbe hill
side, and offering no evidenoe to sub
stantiate bis story. Tbe jury returned a
verdiot on the third vote and on Saturdi j
