Washington, Oct. 25.— In the an
nual report of General Wilaon, chief of
emgneers, the
i
following is said about
the mouth of the Columbia:
The defenses include works of the
older type, one garrisoned and one in
charge of an ordnance sergeant. W ith
the funds appropriated by the act of
1896, work was commenced during the
year on five emplacements for 10-inoh
guns on disappearing carriages, two
emplacements for 8-inch guns on disap
pearing carriages, and two mining case
mates. A t the close of the year, the
10-inch emplacements were Oumpleted,
and three 10-inch carriages mounted,
A wharf had been built for the con-
struction of the 8-inch emplacements,
all necessary plant assembled and the
excavation completed.
One mining
casemate was also under construction,
With the funds appropriated by the act
of 1897, an additional emplacement for
an 8-inch gun on a disappearing car
riage and a mortar battery for eight 12-
inch mortars w ill be constructed.
At
the close of the year, plans for these
works had been partially prepared.
There are no existing works of defense
on Puget sound.”
The following estimates are made for
river and harbor improvements for
Oregon and Washington for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1899:

W e have had a very nervous, sensi
tive market in wheat the past week,
hut tiie undertone has been very strong
j at times, and prices were up 6 cents
| over a week ago. The news has been
quite bullish in tone, and foreigners
have been liberal buyers of wheat for
nearby shipment.
About the only
tiling thut at all favored the hears was
tiie fact that rains had fallen moder
ately over the drouth stricken area, and
that fall work was again in progress in
the winter wheat sections.
Receipts
j of wheat have been large, with an ur-
1 gent demand for good m illing wheat
from nearly all quarters. Exports for
tiie month of Septemlier were tiie larg
est on record, footing up 26,000,000
hushelt. The American visible supply
shows an increase of 199,000 bushels
for last week, and now totals 24,629,-
000 bushels, against 57,286,000 a year
ago. The fact that France has again
been a large buyer o f wheat the past
week lias done much to stimulate
prices, and were it not that speculation
is very light we Bhould have seen a far
greater advance. W heat is on a legiti
mate basis— the basis of supply and de
mand— but every one seems to be afraid
of it because they compare price* with
what they were a year ago, and many
predict declines, but while tiie cash de
mand is as urgent as it is now, and
foreigners are buying our wheat and
flour at the rate they are now doing,
there ia no chance for more than slight
reactions and everything
favors a
higher range of values. We feel very
bullish on tiie situation, and advise
our friends to get hold of some wheat
and it w ill soon show them a good
profit.
There has been
more weakness
shown in corn than the most sanguine
bear had looked for, and as holders be
came easily frightened and threw their
holdings on a market that was narrow
and w ith light trade at tiie start, the
result ca" easily be foreseen— rather
sharp decline w ith shorta the best buy

New York, Oct. 25.— Russell Sage
oreated a sensation in W all street late
yesterday by announcing tiiat he had
been invited by President M oKinley to
form a syndicate to bid on the Union
Pacifio railroad on tiie basis o f satisfy
ing the full government claim in tiie
Union Pacific. Mr. Sage invited sub
scriptions to a plan to be hereafter
brought out by him.
The payment ot
the government olaim in fu ll is under
stood to be the first condition in this
plau. Mr. Sage’s representative an
nounced last nigh, that lie had received
subscriptions for over $76,000,000
within two hours o f his announcement
It was said that he would continue to
receive subscriptions until his plan was
subscribed at least three times over.
As to the bond transactions, Mr. Sage
thinks there is unlimited capital avail
able for settlement of the Pacifio road
debt without loss to the government.
Among the subscriptions reported to
Mr. Sage's Union Pacific scheme were
the following:
Mr. A stor’B subscription is eoid to
have been received by cable. Borne of
the names are said to represent other
interests besides the subscribers. It is
said a large insurance company w ill
subscribe $10,000,000.
