It used to be the rule to keep horses
from drinking at high noon or night
after they had been working through
the forenoon or afternoon, until they
had eaten their feed and had cooled
down. This was considered necessary
in order to prevent Injury from taking
cold water while the system is liented.
But this is cruel to the horses, as they'
cannot eat what they should if they arc
parched with thirst. The better way Is
to give each horse in the middle of thei
forenoon a pall of water Into which ai
small quantity of oatmeal has been
stirred. This will refresh and invigo
rate the horse without doing any Injury,
and will prevent him from being injur
ed by drinking freely at noontime. The
drink being nourishing, rallies the
strength and enables the animal to do
a greater amount of work without fail
ure.

Washington, July 15.— The greater
portion of the labors of Mr. Breckin
ridge, minister of Russia, daring the
past year, as revealed by the published
foreign relations of the United Btacer,
seems to have followed an instruction
from the state department to protest
against ¡the practice of Russian con
suls iu the United States of refusing
to issue passports to Americans going
to Russia if they happened to be of the
Jewish faith. A t the point where the
publication closes, he was obliged to
bluntly inform the Russian government
that the United States government
oould not acquiesce in the operation
of such foreign tribunals in the United
States.
Mr. Breckinridge’ s presentation of
this case was formally approved by
Secretary Oluey. Another important
subject considered was the absolute in
sistence of the Russian government
upon its right to punish any Russian
who falls into its power after becom
ing a oitizen of the United States or
any other country. The correspondence
between the two governments on this
subjeot waB so spirited as to lead Min
ister Breckinridge to complain to Sec
retary Olney that Prince Lonaboff’s
note to him had been lacking in
oourtesy. As the matter stands at the
end of the correspondence, so far pub
lished, the Russian government insists
firmly on its rights to punish Russians
who become United States citizens if
they return to Russia. Meanwhile Mr.
Breckinridge
suggests that proper
warning be given to Russians uatuarl-
ized in the United States to keep
away from Russia.

Athens, July 15.— Dr. Dumiller,who
was sent to Crete by Emperor W illiam
to make a report on the condition of
affairs, has arrived here on his return
form the island. He says:
"C ivilized people can soarcely credit
the outrages which the Turks have per
petrated on Christian women and ch ild
ren. Europeans have but a faint idea
of the horrors which have taken place.
The powers must absolutely intervene
to prevent a renewal of such scenes.
There is but one course to pursue; that
is to turn the Turks out of Europe.
“ The insurgents intend fighting,
and they are receiving a plentiful sup
ply of arms. The utmost disorder pre
va ils."
Dispatches from the Cretan consuls
announce that burning and pillaging
have begun afresh. The Cretan com
mittee here are redoubling their efforts
to supply the insurgents with muni
tions of war.

Salem, Or., July 15.— A case of rare
interest, with few, if any, parallels,
concernng the human anatomy, has
been discovered in an autopsy on the
body of John W. Jones, of Jefferson,
this county. The position of the heart
and the organ of the alimentary canal
are transposed from left to right, and
vice versa. The apex of the heart was
found to lie in the right chest instead
of the left. The larger or splenic end
of the Btomach is on the right side of
the body, and consequently the oesopha-
gael or cardiac orifice communicates
from the right side.
The pyloric
orifice communicates with the lesser
end from the left side of the body.
The duodenum has its begining on the
left side also, and instead of the usual
upward and backward course to the
J right, it ascend toward the left and
' then descends to pass transversely
across the body from left to right. The
entire length of the intestines, large
and small, are thus arranged in the
reversed order, the transverse colon
crossing the body from left to right.
The appendix vermiformis is on the
right instead of the left side of the
body. The position of the liver is also
necessarily changed, in adjustment to
the ? imach. The right or greater lobe
is si ated on the left side of the body.
On to is subject it baa been demonstrat
ed that a reversion of the arrangement
of the internal organs of man is not
fatal. He lived to the age of 58 years
and 11 months. He was the father of
eight children, one of whom is Pro
fessor C. H. Jones, principal of the M c
Minnville schools, and another Pro
fessor (J. W. Jones, superintendent of
the publio schools of Marion conuty.
Mr. Jones bad enjoyed reasonably
good health until abont three years
ago. He became affected with stomach
troubles, which resulted in his death
last week.
A disagreement among
physicians as to the exact nature of his
disease led to the post mortem examina
tion. Drs. J. C. Smith and W. C.
Hawk, of Jefferson, aud Dr. J. N.
Smith of Salem, conducted the au
topsy. Dr. D. M. Jones, a brother of
the deceased, was also present.
Washington, July 15.— It requires
71 printed pages in the volume of for
eign relations to set out the corre
spondence which has passed between
the United States and Spain during
the year 1895, yet in no oase was there
printed any matter in the nature o f re
port from
United States officials
touching the rebellion and its causes,
progress or prospects. The chapter on
Spain begins with the celebrated Moro
case, whioh, having been settled satis
factorily by the payment of an in
demnity by Spain of »1,500,000, is
now a closed incident.
Nez in order comes the Allianca in
cident, beginning
with
Secretary
Gresham’ s vigorous demand upon the
Spanish government for a prompt dis
avowal of the act of the Conde Vena-
dito in firing upon the American
steamship; for an expression of regret,
and the issuance of orders to Spanish
naval commanders to refrain from in
terference with legitimate American
oommerce, whether within three miles
of the Caban coast or not.
The conclusion of this incident is
for the first time told officially in this
publication. The Spanish government
showed its entire readiness to do every
thing that international law required
to smooth away the bad impression
made by the incident, and, after pro
curing a report on the subject from
the Cuban officials, the Duke of Tetnan,
Spanish minister of foreign affairs,
delivered to United States Minister
Taylor a statement in which be says
that the Allianca was fired upon with
a special purpose not to hit her, she be
ing outside of the jurisdictional zone
of Spain. This was an involuntary
error, w hich no one could lament more
than the government of his majesty,
whose purpose never was to set ob
stacles or hindrances in the way of the
legitimate commerce of the United
States, and much less to give the
slightest offense to the flag of a friendly
power.
He adds that instructions
have been sent to commanders of the
ships of the navy to "avoid a repeti
tion of events similar to that now in
question, which is disavowed by the
government of his m ajesty.”
Mr. Uhl, then acting secretary of
state, closed the incident by accepting
the dnke's statement as a sufficiently
satisfactory
explanation,
without
conceding that the exaot location of the
Allianca, at the time the shot was
fired, can be oonsidered as a controlling
circumstance.
Correspondence passing between the
state department and the resident Span
ish minister, relative to the enforce
ment of the United States neutrality
laws, takes up cosiderable space. It
begins w ith the cases of the yachts
Amadia la Gonda and Naraooa, but
these have already been made publio
through legal proceedings.
Half a dozen letters tell the story of
the fruitless attempt of Marshal Cam
pos, tben captain-general, to prevent
United States Consul-General W il
liams
from exercising diplom atic
functions in intervening to protect
Americans arrested by the Spanish
officials in Cuba.
Secretary Olney acted with vigor in
this action, addiessing himself to M in
ister de Lome here and to the Spanish
government at Madrid at the same
time, through Minister Taylor, and in
less than a month Consul-General W il
liams was recognized as havng full
powers to look after sneb matters, be
ing thus plaoed on an equality with the
German consul in Cuba.
A short letter from United States
Minister Taylor to Secretary Gresham,
in February, 1895, tells the story of a
diplomatic victroy that, trom its busi
ness value, deserves a prominent place
in the volume. This was the final con
cession by the Spanish government to
the United States ctizens of the right
to pay minmum import duties on goods
sent to Cuba.
A premonition of claims to be pre
ferred against Spain appears in several
letters of F. Atkins & Co., of Boston,
to Secretary Olney, giving notice of
the destruction of their valuable Sole-
dad sugar estate by the insurgents.
Incidentaly, they note that the insur
gents are mainly negroes, and that the
orders to burn their property were sent
from Cuban headquarters in New York
with a purpose of causing trouble be
tween the United States and Spain.
