wbile at home, in spite of the large

her finanoial interests are in a state of

heels, aud the neoeseity for America's
friendship is reoognized on all sides.
Papers and people that for years have
been ready with a jibe for America's
good will no longer make any attempt to
belittle the desirability of securing ber
friendship.

cogitations as to what would happen if
Ureal Brttinn would war with a ereat
power. The fact that the government
has chartered so many transports has
resulted in a rhe of the price of bread,
wbile ooal is rising by leaps and bounds
to famine prices. It is such uupleasant
results as these that silence tbe scoffer
at things American aud induce such
vituperative publication as the Katurday
Review to saj : 'The Americans have
had their eyes open ns to tbe possibtli
ties of a foreign policy and are takiug a
sounder, besiiles a cooler view, of tbe
situatiou. They are not less friendly to
ua than before, but the inmucere element
has been eliminated and has left a re
liable substratum of good will," whioh
concatenation the 8turday Review, un
der different oircumstyinces, would have
construed into damning evidenoe of tbe
Insincerity of Amttrioau friendship.
It most not be inferred that this view
is held by many of the eiuoere English
friends of America, who now point to
what tboy are pleased to term its great
friendliness as proof of what they have
always maintained.
With such a serious outlook for the
coming year, it is bardly surprising that
articles apper.r under the heading "Are
We Dj pudt'Oi'' and similar,. strains,. On
the other hand, there is Btill a email BrO-
tion of the pretis and public which de
Votes its energies to senselessly abusing
tbe Boers aud predicting the speedy
eutiy of the Brit'sb into Pretoria.
The organs voioing the better class
opinion face 1900 and its eventualities
in South Africa with an even-minded,
unbysterioul determination that compels
a.imiratioo. That there will be a day of
reckoning for some is a certainty that
even the most guarded and conservative
do not try to conoeul Whether it be
Lord LandBdonne, Lord Wolsely or
General Buller it is impossible to tell,
but all the information obtainable at
present and the gift of critioisms point
to Lord Lnndedowue having to shoulder
the onus fur the terrible management.
Wbile Ureal Britian feeds contentedly
upon long cables showing American
friendship, tbe Boer agents in Europe
beliere sentiment in the United States
has been gradually turning Bjerward,
until tbe time is now ripe to develope it
into material rffool. Under this impres
sion the Asaooiuted Press learns they
are contemplating dispatching a speoial
mission to the United States for tbe pur
pose of influencing public opinion, pos
sibly by open meetings and by personally
assisting tbe eff irts of those in congress
whom they believe friendly. Moreover,
they oonsider it advisable to offset what
they declare bus been a systematic osm
paigo of Jobo Hays Hammond, tbe
Amerioan engineer, who was a member
of the Johannesburg reform committee,
to intlnenoe Washington opiniou. It
the plans now under consideration are
carried out, the mission will include a
very prominent Boer agent and a pro
Boar member of tbe British parlimeot,
who intended to sail this week, but was
prevented by what is thought to bs 8
temporary bitcb in the arrangements.
Their dsire is to affiliate themselves
with no particular parly, but influencing
political and publio opinion to seoure at
least an (Ter of mediation from the
United States.
A representative of the Associated
Press bas made oarefol inquiries, but
failed to Bud any circumstances to war
rant tbe belief that such an offer, bow
ever made, would reoeive the slightest
consideration.
The British government is threatened
with a coal famine, the most serious
development of recent weeks. Unless
tbe situation improves, many industrial
coriOerns depending on tbe ooal supply
may have to suepeud operations before
February, as their margin of profit is
rapidly being wiped out. Tbe root of
tbe trouble bppears to be tbe withdrawal
of so many colliers to take tbeir places
in the service. Wages have gone op,

Christmas congestion of traffic aggra

THURSDAY. JANUARY 11, 1900,
Output of 1899 Will Reach Twenty Million
Pounds.
No Oregon industry, perhaps, baa ex
perienced a greater revival during the
past year than has the wool industry.
The year opened with a dull market and
soaroely aDy transactions. Quotations
were only nominal, ranging from 8 to 10
cents per pound for Eastern Oregon
wools and from li to 15 oents a pound
for Willamette valley grades. There
were no buyers.
As tbe season advauoed, however, con
fidence began to restore itself, and buy
ers stepped in and bought liberally at
fair pnoes. Most of thsse transaction!
were direct with 'the manufacturers.
ine price advanoed to 10 to 12a for
Easterc Oregon and 15 to 16 cents for
valley wools.
At present tbe market is very strong,
with good aod healthy prospects for the
future. Recent sales in Boston were
especially large. But few of these were
intbelije of speculation, mast of tbe
wool being seoured by the manufactur
ers. Present quotations range from iy
to 14 oents for Eastern Oregon wools
and from 16 to 17M 'or valley grades.
The wool bas been nearly' all sold, but
little of this year's dip being left. Tbe
pnoes this year have been from 3 to i
cents higher than last year.
As regards the clip of 1899, a conserv-
oi,io eouuime piuces me ngure at no
less than 20,000,000 pounds. This is tbe
same output of wool as was recorded lo
tbe oredit of the state the previous year.
Tbe greater portion of this wool is pro
duced by Enstern Oregon, tbe valley
output, being not over three quarters of
million p'muds.
What pleases wool buyers more than
anything else, however, this year is tbe
marked improvement in the quality of
Oregon's wool. Sheepmen have been
improving tbeir flocks, with tbe result
tbat Oregon wool is rapidly forging to
the front from the standpoint of quality.
There is room yet for improvements in
the breeds of Btook, but at the present
rate of improvement it will not ba many
years before Oregon wool will be in tbe
lead on tbe Paoiflo ooast. There Is some
danger of a smaller wool output next
year, by reason of the fact that sheep-
men have beeu selling off much of thei
onng flock. There is a heavy demand
for Oregon breeding stock from Wyoming

TRAUEDY AT PUINfc.VJL.LE.
Drnnkeo Plate Hhoots Four Other Indians
and Kills Hlmsrlf.
A tragedy ocoured at an Indian oamp
the outskirts of Prineville on tbe
evening of tbe 2 1, resulting in tbe death
of an Iudian aod bis wife aod the prob
able fatal injury of another Indian and
wo fquawe. Matbew Wewa did tbe
oxeoution with a Winchester rifle, and
after he scot bis brother, bis wife and
wo eqiisws, turned tbe gun UDon
imselt ending bis own life. It is ex
pected all tbe wounded will die. Wewa
bad a tepee near town io a camp com
posed of Piutes and Warm Springs, and
bad betn gt ttiug along amicably so far
as is known.
On the evening of January 2, Wewa
returned to bis tepee badly intoxioated.
Be did not tell what be had been dointr.
mmediately upon entering bis savage
ajuper caused alarm in the family
oirole, oonsistjng of his brother Charley,
is wife Uappie, and two squaws named
Tyler aud Husie, who were gambling.
Wewa took offense at something bis bet
ter-half was doing, perhaps her losses
on tbe green cloth, and oommcnoed
beating her. He persisted in this p sa
me, and bis brother Charley interfered
in ber behalf. This enraged the noble
red man with the load of firewater, and
he seized his Winchester, rushed outside
and commenced work.
Raising tbe flap of the tepee so he
could poke his gun in, he shot bis
brother Charley, who fell to the ground
seriously wouuded. Then Wewa shot
bis wife Bappie, aod again bis aim was
too true, the woman falling also. Tbe
two other squaws, by this time terrified
out of tbeir wits, made wild rushes for
tbe tepee door to escape. Wewa was
too quiok for them, however, shooting
each of them before she oould get away.
Then be walked soma little distance
from tbe soene of bis bloody work.
turned the riile upon himself, aad ended
is life with single shot.
As soon as news of the tragedy spread
through tbe csmp there was consterna
tion among tbe Indians, and white men
were summoned to assist in oaring for
the injured. Uappie died before assist

ROYAL BAKING
TUE OREGONUN ON M'DANIEL.
So muob for legal justice, but for mo
ral justice there is something more to be
said. Tbe revelations of bis trial In
delibly stamp MoD,iniels ns an exoep-
tioually heartless and brutal creature
He was so utterly without honor or
manliness or humanity that nothing but
the absenoe of motive and the evident
lack of adequate preparation for conceal
ment of his crime foibids the certainty
of murder. The man was heartless
enough to oomit tnurdtr, had he thought
it neoessary. He bad already morally
and socially murdered his viotim. Pre
tending an uflVotion for her he confessed
be did not feel, be aooomplished ber
ruin and thon boasted of his infamous
victory to bis roommate as heartless as a
savage might congratulate hijoself on
having added a new scalp to his war
girdle. Weuk he was not j be has plenty
of willpower and oapaoity for self re
straint; wicked, heartless wioked, was
his treatment of tin young girl, the
light of whose young life be bas put out
but oaunot illume. lie was fundly
trusted by this girl with her reputation,
f.n4 h $EWH8fl,Mfft M.lMiK M
panions, so tbat, even if she had uot lost
ber life, her good name hud been deliv
ered oyer by bor lover to his ountemp
tible cronies.
There are revelations of this trial that
point to a mood of awful inhumanity in
the matter of the moral indilferenoe to
orime shown by MoDaniel and his as
sociates, old aod young. They are evi
dently blind to the bKinousneas of suou
sin as MoDaniel has ooufessed, and the
disparity between man's aud woman's
responsibility. It was Jesus who, by bis
peculiar oompaision aud olemenoy for
the viotim, plaoed the responsibility
where it belongs. He knew tbat the
average young girl bas less will, less
knowledge of consequences, less worldy
experience, is more impulsive and af
fectionate tbao the average man, and
therefore more easily imposed upou by
chs aggressive passions aod arts of man,
The exceptional tenderness of Jesus for
the erring woman oaooot be quoted as s
plea for the oold hearted fellows to the
Moloch of whose llltuy brutal lusts
women are sacrificed. II is crowding
moral justice to try to make tbe mantle
of oharity whioh Jesus oasts upon the
shivering Magdalen cover the moral
nakedness of her seduoer, or rather her
immolator, as well. You can perhaps
plead tbe moral "baby aot" for a woman
gone wronir, but you certainly cannot
fairly plead it for the man who lured ber
to fall. Passions sometimes betrays
even generous minds into wrongdoing,
but in that case they do, as Hbukespeara
and bums did; they stand by the
woman and atone for tbeir fault by
marriage; they do not makelifeaburdeu
to a woman aod ask her lo carry the
burden alone; tbey do not deliberately
make a orots of sorrow and sin for a
woman and tbeu insist tbat she shall
oarry it alone all ber days. If fathers
and mothers of deoeut intelligence edu
cated tbeir boys to understand tbat base
betrayal and desertion of a woman is a
orime against humanity, for whioh
there was no olemenoy, there would
be few oreatures of the quality of Mo
Daniel, who feel more grief over tbe
loss of a football match than over Ibe
blighted youth of a woman or tbe pre
amature death or happiness in a house
hold wbere father si.d mother must al
ways oarry a oeaselees sorrow.
Robbed the (irave.
A startling incident of wbiob Mr. John
Oliver of Philadelphia, was tbe subject,
is narrated by him as follows: "1 was io
a most dreadful condition. My skin was
almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
ousted, pain continually in back and
sides, no appetite gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
bad given me up. Fortunately, a friend
advised trying 'Eleotric Hitters,' and to
my great joy and surprise, the first
bottle made a decided improvement. I
continued their use fur three weeks, and
now I am well man. I know tbey saved
my life and robbed the grave of nnother
victim." No one sbonld fail to try them.

Oregon delegation today united io
unanimously recommending tbe appoint
ment of of Judge W. O. Hale, of Eugene,
Or., as district judge of Alaska, to fill
the vacanoy oaused by the resignation of
Judge Johnson. Judge Hale was onoe
judge of tbe first district of Oregon, and
bas strong endorsements from all of tbe
cirouit judges of tbe slate, as well as tbe
judges of tbe supreme court, aod from
prominent republicans. Be was a can
didate for the office at tbe time Johnson
was appointed, and was then supported
by tbe delegates to tbe natiooal couven
tion at HI, Louis. Although it present
this jodgeship pays but $3000. tbere are
very good indioations that the salary
will be increased to at least 85000.
Moreover, should Judge Hale fail to
seoure this appointment, be will stand a
very good chance to seoure one of tbe
new judgeships, as It la almost oertain
tbat at least one, aod perhaps three, new
districts will be created in Alaska by tbe
present oongress. ben a tor McBride
thioks it very likely tbst the territory
may be divided into four districts, ae
