It Is one of the hlnlicst pro cctlve countrlcH In the world, nnd tli.'s revents the country from becoming bankrupt. With only silver nnd a mod- rate tariff the government could not pny its debtH.

His speech was listened to with marked attention and lHir st Ho Va followed by the Hon. Til. Fjrd, of Halurn. An aiorian representative was sett to Portland to learn amnethlng tf ihe plana of the railroad contra:tora, Mjn eyman. LH-Hart & Glenn. Varying ao- oounta have letn published In the Por; land papera and various dispatch! sent to Astoria concerning the railroad work. Iloinynian, iieliart & C.lenn slated that aa telegraphed from h rnuay night a number of men had been laid off, and the amount of rk reduced, and that the Interview as given by them to the Associated Pr-j was aubstantially correct. The reduc tion in lorce Is a temporary one. and will give them an opportunity to Lung up certain other parts of the work that the whole can be completed ut about the same time with the I tost IsMwible loaa during the winter months. On the part of the line -.i.re the forces have been reduced the pay rolls will still remain at about fir.,ue. per month, while on the other secti"n where no reductions have been iiad tne rolls amount to about the same figure, making the total monthly ,-x pendltures now In the neighborhood n US.ouO per month. The reductions made have been or dered for two months only, and arc presumably due to the present strin gency In financial circles which makes impossible to realise ready money for carrying on any kind of new en- terprlecs- In addition to thla it Is learned that the monthly expenditures of the .-a.il roau company on the weat side of .he bay are now about JOOO, while Cor-y Brothers are now monthly disbursing In the neighborhood of 16.000. Cons! ler ing the extreme hard times this 's ci1-- tainly a good showing and the work la going forward fast enough to guana tee the completion of the line wltoln the contract time. As compared with other sections of the country p.nd other Itles and localities In Oregon, Asluria certainly has every reason to congrat ulate Itself upon Its peculiarly fortu nate condition. A gentleman down from Portland yesterday, and who Is !n ouch witli Kastern luslncss men and bankers, stated that the foregoing facts re absolutely correct, and that he did not know of a place, under the present stringency of the times, bo well fixed as Astoria.

Miles went north on a hunting trip, ulked about sound money to a large audience in the Audi torium here tonight. The speech was under the direction of the officers of the state central committee of the Ke- publican party. On the platform were Senator Thos. H. Carter and ex-Semv tors Power and Sanders, besides a number of members of the McKiuley and Hobart Club of Helena. Governor lUckards' private secretary, A. B. Keith, of this city, asked permission at the opening of the meeting to submit a list of questions prepared by the sli ver Republicans lo the senator for an swers, and sent them to the platform. but Senator Sherman said that he had given it out beforehand that those who wished to have questions answered should send them to him during the af ternoon and he would pay no attention to thoee that had not been sent In that way. The main part of Senator Sherman's addreaa was on the financial question. He went over the history of the coin age acta of the government ever since the beginning, and declared that the silver dollar had ben left out of con sideration in li3 and that the act of '73 known as the "crime of '"3," did not demonetize silver at all.

Further ex amination disclosed a package of Paris green In his pocket, and the theory of suicide was advanced. But neither of the thories proved correct. Coroner Pohl was notified, who at once took charge of the body and sum moned a jury. Dr. J. A. Fulton made a post mortem examination, and an nounced that none of the bruises upon the body could have caused deuth, nor were there any traces of poison found in wie siomacn. A clot of blood was found upon the brain, which gave evl nenee that death resulted from a hem- rrhage, probably caused by apoplexy occasioned by the excessive use of li quor. It was learned that the mans name was Olnf Anderson; thit he ca-n-here from Seal Hiver about a week agj, bought some goods which he shlnpcj to his ranch, and that he had about a hundred dollars with him. When u d yesterday morning, a Jug of pure k1- hol was standing near the body.

Filzhugh Lee, United States consul-general here, was asked today by a representative ot La Lucha about the widely circulated re port In some of the American news papers charging General Weyler with having had a notice posted al Las Cabanas directing that General Lea should be arrested and detained there if he visited the fortress. Gen. Lee was also questioned about the statements frequently made In the newspapers of Ihe United States that he was not per mitted to visit American prisoners in carcerated in the forts n-ar Havana, and therefore be could not keep In formed as to the health and conditions of these prisoners. Consul-General Lee said: "A few days after my arrival In Ha vana, at ihe invitation of my prede cessor, Mr. Williams, I accompanied him on a visit to the Competitor pris oners co ruined at Las tauanas. Some days later I heard that it was against the regulations to allow foreigners to visit the military torts at this time, even on visitors' day, as it is called, and that the oiticial commanding at Las Cabanas had been reprimanded by Gen. Weyler for allowing me to make said visit. The otllcer in question offered as an excuse that his subordi nate officer on duty al the gates did not know me but supposed I was one of the visitors entitled to enter the forts on visitors' day. From abundant caution, and in order to prevent any occurrence of that tort In the ruture, '. the commanding otllcer at Las Cabanas I heard, had a nol.ee posted In one ot the guard" rooms directing his officers to arrest and detain me if I should again attempt to enter the fort When I heard of this notice I at once called General Weyler"s attention to it, and he very promptly had It removed. I am Informed that he reprimanded the oltlcer who had posted It "As to the statements that I am not allowed to see American prisoners and that the prohibition does not apply to the consuls of other countries, I de fire to say that all such statements are incorrect. I, or my representative, can see any or all American prisoners at any time that it is desirable to do so by simply sending a notice to the com manding officer of the fort on the even ing before. Thi9 being done, the offi cer is required by Gen. Weyler to have the prisoners named at a certain point where they can be seen and talked with alone If necessary. I think it but Justice to General Weyler to state these facts and to add further that I know of no instance in which he has made any discrimination against tba consul general of the United States, w ho is now and has been in the exer cise of all the rights of the consuls of other countries. Why, Gen. We"ler has Hned a Havana newspaper for using offensive language about the American consul-general." EXPOSITION OPENED. Portland, Or., Sept 19.
