Thi« repott had lieen withhehi, an«l thia cauaml the ad«iption of a rewdution at the last meeting of the committee requesting the »»-rotary of war to send the report, to the committee. The report is dat«i > December 16, 1901, an<i is largely a re view of conditions in the province. In i the course of the re,M>rt the governor ' says: “A vigorous campaign was at once organised against insurgent« in arm«, with the troops acting under ,Mmitive urijer» to »hoot no unarm»! native* and to burn no house« exi-ept lierrackn. I»»>ting was prohibited under the strict j est penalties. Company and other { commaiiiier« were ordered to pay for everything taken for nc iuwity or Isnight from natives.” The governor in detail tells alsiat what ha« lieen done, an«i then recom mends that the operation« against the inHiirgents nhould lie by a force of na tives. He has travele«! all over the province, with no other esc >rt than na tives. In mother reiommt-ndation, he «a ya: “As civil governor, I feel it my duty to say that it i» my firm conviction that the l'nite«l States tr«H>ps should at the earliet op|iortiinity be concentrate«! in one or two garrisons, if it is thought desirable that the g«H»i sentiment and loyalty that formerly existed toward» the United States among the people of this province should I m « conserved and enconrag««!.

The con- tinuesi cold, backward spring weather has retarded the development of buds which are not affecteii by the present severe cold an«l chilling rains. ■ Considerable anxiety ha» been ex- pressed by fruitgrowers in the Hissl river valley concerning the probable damage to fruit by the severe freeze in January and February. From present indications, however, the yield will lie average, unless some further damage occurs. The Polk county Mohair’Aasca-iation has sold its pool of 3b,000 [»luud» at 25 cents per pound. Mr».

Washington, April 12.—The senate «ommerce committee ha» dealt very lib erally with the Upper Columbia river. Senator Turner has ae»-ur»l the adop tion of the Harts canal project for over coming the obstruction at The Dalles and Celiio, and, asi«i* from the trans fer for immediate use of the remaining *214,000, the bill authorize» the secre tary ot war to enter into a contract for prosecuting the work to the extent of *400,000 additional, making an ex- [«enditure of about *614,000. The senate committee, unlike the house, was readily convine»! that Cap tain Harts' estimate 1» not too high, and saya that the improvement ia one of aucn importanc* that it should no longer be delay««!. The amount carried by the senate bill i» »uffi' ient to con tinue the work until the next river and harlsir bill is passed, ami if it is not possible at this time to have the work place«l under the continuing contract system, it is probable this can l«e done two years hence, when the work has got well under way. There is reason to lielieve that the eenate amemiment will lie retained in the bill, although it may lie necessary to make a slight reduction in the exjH-nditure author ised. Senator Turner has secured an in crease in the appropriation for the Snake river to *40,000, of which *25,000 is to lie ex|«ende«i above Lewis ton. For Pend d'Oreille and the Okan ogan lie secured an increase from *10.- 000 to *25,000. The Taísima harbor appropriation was increased from *75,- 000 to »300,000.

The appropriation for Pu get Sound is increased from *15,000 to *20,000, with *15,000 additional for the removal of a log jam in the Nook sack. The appropi iation for the mouth of the Columbia remains the same as in the house bill. MISS STONE IN NEW YORK. Say» the Brigand» were Not Fierce, but were Insulting. New York, April 12.—Miss Ellen M. Stone, the missionary, arrived today on the Deutschland from Southampton. Miss Stone said the brigands were not so fierce as might have lieen imagined. They said many insulting things, hut never struck or lieat either her or her companion, Mme. Tsilka. “Several reports have lieen printed which stated that Mme. Tsilka had lieen held for ransom by our captors,” said Miss Stone, “but it is a mistake. I was the one they wanted, and they always take a married lady to chaper one a single one, no matter how old the latter may tie. Seven weeks before we were released a babv was born to Mme. Tsilka. The brigands had by this time become so insulting anil cruel in their remarks that it was becoming unbearable. The appearance of the baby stop|«ed all this, for the reason that the brigands of Tur key believe that a curse will settle on one of them if they do harm to a child or its mother. Our treatment after the birth of the babv was excellent. We liegan to get better fis»!, although I must admit that it wa« not very good, and the sneering remarks «topped.” Mis« Stone will goat once to Chelsea, Mass., to see her mother, who is more than 90 years old.
