It was not much trouble to raise
300,000 in Portland for the 1905
fair. It is rery likely that the
fund will be swelled "to 500,000
before the committees get through
soliciting. This is a great start,
and with such enterprise and push
behiiid it the project cannot fail.
The county treasurer of Morrow
county has called in all warrants
registered prior to November 11.
1901. Morrow is another of the
practically new counties of Oregon,
and this is a remarkably good show
ing, considering the fact that it as
sumed a large debt when it was
organized. Blue Mountain Eagle.
Admiral I jowe, who was oue of the
officers aboard, oay that the air

The Kultou has thus passed suc
cessfully through a test to which
no other submarine boat has ever
been subjected. The Holland was
submerged in the Potomac last
year for three hours. The Fulton
had never been submerged before
longer than twenty-five minutes.
That was a few weeks ago, when
she made a two-mile run under
water.
It looks now as if submarine
boats bad come to stay as an ele
ment of harbor defense, if nothing
more. The Government has con
tracted for seven vessels of the Ful
ton type. Great Britain has be
come sufficiently interested in this
class of war vessels to order half a
dozen or more from the Holland
company. The Danish navy is al
so equipped with several submar
ine boats. France leads all the
naval powers, however, in this
branch of defensive equipment.
That republic has a fleet of forty
eight already constructed and sev
eral more are being built. The
French submarine boat differs, how.
ever, from the Holland patent in
many essential features. One of
the French submarine boats haa a
displacement of 266 tons and is
provided with electrical engines of
120 horse-power. She can make
fifteen knots on the surface and
has descended to a depth of sixty
five feet. Her highest speed when
submerged is only eight knots.
The experiments made with the
Holland type prove that it may be
trusted under very severe condi
tions. Its value in warfare will
have to be determined when its
service is called into action. Mean
time, naval designers are exercis
ing their wits to devise something)
which will be a good defense for
battle-ship against submarine
boat attack.
A special emissary from China
has arrived in San Francisco from
China to work against the re-enactment
of the Chinese exclusion

thing possible to defeat the re-en.

defeat of the law would be a good
thing for the Chinese, but it would
be at the expense of labor.
Second "What is the outlook Tor

gros.?" Third "Is there organ

what influences aie arrayed against
it?" Fourth "'What, in your
judgment, would bo the effect of
an isthmian canal on the industries
and commerce of Oregou aid other
northwestern 6tates?"
In respouse. I beg to say I did
not suppose there was any leading
journal, or in fact any person, who
has kuowledge of my past record,
but was fully informed as to my
positiou in respect to the isthmian
canal certainly could not anyone
familiar with my record iu the son
ate heretofore. 1 have always been
an uneomprising advocate and sup
porter of national legislation look
ing to the construction of an isth
mian canal by the goverumeut and
to be controlled by the govern
ment, and I am today.
As to the outlook for action at
the next session of congress in re
spect to this most important, to
my mind, piece of legislation, I
believe it to be excellent.
As to whether there is any or
ganized opposition to the canal, I
am unable to say, even if there is,
it perhaps will not develop until
the meeting of congress.
I believe, furthermore, the etlect
of an isthmian canal ou the indus
tries and commerce of Oregon aud
other northwestern states cannot
be otherwise than beneficial in the
highest degree.

WILL COXGRESS REIMBURSE
SCHLEY.
Senator Mitchell with his old
time vim and energy will start in
early at hard work at the present
session of congress, and will intro
duce many important bills, as fol
lows: To establish an assay office
at Portland; to create a ser. arate
judicial district in Eastern Oregon
with headquarters at Baker City;
far the repayment of fees, purchase
money and commissions paid by
settlers on void entries of public
lands; for the relief of citizens of Uptakes he may have made, or
Oregon, Washington and Idaho,
who served with United States
troops against the Nez Perce, Ban
nock and Shoshone Indians; to
regulate the taking of fees and fil
ings in certain land cases, to ap
propriate funds for investigation
and tet of American timber: grant
ing pensions to certain officers and
men of the lifesaving service; ap
propriating 10.000 for a launch
for the customs service at Astoria;
to reimburse California, Oregon
and Nevada for money expended
in suppression of the rebellion; to
extend the provisions of the Black
Hawk Indian War veteran bill to
the benefit of surviving veteran of
the Cayaae and other Indian Wars
of Oregon and Washington? for the
The proposition to reimburse
Admiral Schley for his expenses in
the Naval investigation will prob
ably come before Congress, and if
so, is likely to occasion a warm de
bate, for while he haa many ar
dent friends in CoDgress, there are
others who will be disposed to side
with the Admiral's enemies or ac
cusers, and who will protest
against such an appropriation.
There is no precedent for making
an appropriation to reimburse an
officer for expenses incurred under
such circumstances, bat there will
not be lacking men who will argue
that Schley's case is peculiar, and
especially deserving. It is expect
ed that it will appear from the ver
diet of the court that Schley is not
guilty of the charges made against
him; but whatever the court may
decide the people generally have
long ago acquitted him of any se
rious breach of duty. Any minor
any hesitation he exhibited, are
ignored in the popular miud by
the glorious success of the culmin
ating event He was not only
wrongfully accused, but he was
shamefully and vilely slandered
by a man in the employ of the
Government, a man employed by
the Navy Department, to write a
"History" or whose "History" was
at first approved, w hich "History"
contained these foul slanders, to
publish which, apparently, it was
chiefly written, and this tool of
slander is still on the government
payroll.
It is also stated that of the prize
money, Admiral
ceived only $'1G. It is supposed
that he will eventually receive
