I., Sept. 27, HUM. I spant the Fourth in Manila. I found it quiet, but very interesting to observe the many cosily decorations and the interest taken in our national holiday by a foreign race. I regretted very much to leave my comfortable home at Cavite and the companionship of my friend, but we must often do things which we do not like. At the same time, it was the only thing to do; advancement and a better position. I am well and happy in my new posi tion and find the duties very easy, hard ly enough to keep me from growing restless. The only excitement hre is the activity of tbe insurgents. During 48 hours ending Sept 6, the 3'Jth infantry lost 11 men and four horses ; how is that for tor's ? Yet the American people are told that the war or insurrection is over. It seema that our troops are unable to get at the insurgents as they go in small bauds and ambush our men as they go from town to town. Only yesterday the commanding officer at Loa Dinoa seut four mounted men here for the mail. Upon their return they were fired upon within two miles of this place. One man was killed, shot through the. head, another wounded, shot through the leg, two hor6ei killed aud a third shot through the neck. A mounted detach ment of 15 men went out and were gone 11 day, killing three insurgents. It is dangerous to step out after dark unless you are well armed and then you may get it in the back. This regiment, the ;Wh, has their men stationed at dif ferent points through the province and as this is a vary sickly place most of the comnanies have not enough wen lo aland guard. Companies A and 0 are here. Out of Company A tliete are 11) men available for duty; out of C there are 24, so you can see uow they are eituateu. hub is a volunteer regiment and they expect to be relieved soon by regulars. Forty soldiers were sent Irom this hospital yestei.lay enioule to general hospital Presidio, California. We were all in hopes ttiat when the civil commission took charge that they would try and do something to beuefit the people, lower the unreasonably high duties, ao it would make living some where in the bounds of reason. As yet they have dune nothing and Beemingly do not intend to. All they have done they h ive been almost compelled lo do by the press. I suppoae ere this reaches you, the papers at home have brought you notice of the great number of Americans killed and captured during the last few dayB The most serious fight took pluce with in an hours ride of here and I know the (nets regarding the buttle, but ere the news reaches the State it is modified so that it does not seem had, olio can not go from town to town anywhere through the Inlands without a strong escoit and then many times the natives fire from some impregnable position in Ilia moun tains killing several of the escort and perhaps several horses. Those few words of Col. Bryan's, "In dependence for the rillipino people," is killing more soldiers today than you would really imagine, for the native are now taking new courage and many Dago who laid down his bamboo gun to accept of the Ameiican government as a ruler, now has grown patriotic and joined the insurgent ranks to shoot down American soldiers. A great iium her of American soldiers serving here, I have grown weary of tbe (lack policv practiced by the authorities and deserted going over and accepting a commision in the native army. In a great many cases they have formed companies and drilled them until they can make a great fight. The other dny at the fight near here our men could hear the American command on the native side and for a few moments hesitated to fire thinking American soldiers were ahead but that delay caused 2.1 Americana to meet their death without hardly a moments winn ing. It is a known fact that these peop'o cannot bs pacilled by kind treatment, you must use harsh measures. , As far as danger there ia danger, all over this country now, but a inan must not give people any chance to get you. We have jutt received I'M more men to streng' hen this p ist anil now I do not lear an attack as much as before. I had an iusureclo captain here ill the house seyeia! days ago. Kurt. Nitron a canteen man in this province who was I captured by the insurgents a few weeks ago and released, was here the other eve ning on his way home, and as we ere walking up the street, e met a bright well dressed Filipino, who .Naeon ap proached and shook bands with, aud then he asked bun up lo uiy house. Alter be was gone Najli said, "I'll tell you who that man was. tic is the cap tain who captured me." Well I have seen him a number of times on the street here, I suppoae recruiting a com pany in our midst. C. It. Pekki.ns. T. E. CROXTOX, Dialer in GROCERIES, DRIED FRUITS, FLOUR AND FEED.

Washington, Nov. 26, 11)00. This government baa once more taken tbe diplomatic lead in Chinese affairs. Tiring of the seemingly endless dead lock of the foreign ministers at Pekin, and believing tbat their perscnal ex periences bad aroused their prejudices to such an extent that it would be well nigh impossible (or them to ajree upon tbe demands to be made upon the govern ment of China, tor the punishment of the inciters of tbe boxer troubles and the amount of the money indemnity which should be paid the powers, this government has boldly taken a staud in favor of ending tbe deadlock by stopping the presint negotiations and making a fresh start by the appointmentof repre sentatives of each of the powers con cerned, to an international comuiiisior or congress, to meet at Tbe Hague, or tome other place outside of China, and formulate the demands which the powers shall make upon China. Tbe idea baa been endorsed by several of the powers and it ia expected to get the ppioval of them all. It seems to offer a commonsense way out of tbe mix-up in Pekin, which has steadily been grow ing worse instead of better. The reply of ex-Senator Wilson, of the state of Washington, when asked what brought him lo the national capital at this time, may be consideted somewhat unique, compared with the object of other gentlemen who are, like Mr. Wil son, members of the doinlnent parly. He said: "1 want nothing, and have come hero to ask for nothing. My wife and 1 have come East where our daugh ter is in school. 1 warned to get away from business and politics for a little while and plun lo stay away until after Christmas " Whatever the beer and tobacco men can do on the floor of tbu House, where they threaten to curry the fight, there is no doubt of their having been complete ly routed in the first battle on tl.e bill for tbe reduction of Ilia war taxes, made before the sub-committee composed of Representatives Payne, of New York; Daliell, of Pennsylvania, and llopkin of Illinois which has prepared a bill, estimated to cut the annual revenue be tween twenty and thirty million dollars, without reducing the tax on beer or on any clans of tabacco. The bill may, of couise, be changed before being reported to the House, during the first week of die session, but as it now stands, it re peals only thoKe stamp taxes about which there has been the most coin plaint. It ia said that the beer men might have got a reduction had it not been for the report so generally circu lated during the campaign that Senator Hanna had Promised them a reduction in exchange for campaign contributions, It was pointed out by many influential party men that if the brewer's taxes aeie reduced it would lie accepted by the public as confirming that report Representative Hilt, of Illinois, chair man of the House committee on foreign alfairs, does not expect that committee fo take a conspicuous part In the legii lation of the session. He said, when asked o( the probable, work ahead of the committee: "I suppose there will be some questions for discussion before the Foreign Affairs committee, this winter, although I cannot say there will be much important business to be brought before the House. The diplomatic appropri ation bill will be prepared early, as usual at the short seeaion." Representative Kussell, of Connect! rut, a member of the House, Ways and Means committee, expressed this opinion of the work of the session: "I think the revenue bill will be the flrsl important measure taken up. It will probably come ahead of the appropria tion bills and the army bill, as it will be ready for presentation the first day of the session. The army bill may be the next important measure taken up, Neither will require much time and both should lie disposed of without delay. 1 cannot see that any legislation will be nacexnary at Una session, for the Philip pines or Porto Uico. A reapportion meiit bill should be panned before the end of the session, and I believe tbe ship subsidy bill should also be passed Little can be done for Cuba until the res ill of the constitutional convention is known." It has been expected from the first that the ('anal commission would report in favor of Nicargua Canal and no on was surprised when It was learned that the preliminary report, now in the hand of the .president, strongly favored Hi Nicaragua route, because of Its twin clieaier and easier lo construct than mould be to complete work on tl Panama route. The president's message will probably follow the recommenda tions of the Canal commission anil seem reasonable to suppose that eon grene will do likewive' but the Pan company lol,liU nou' !n Washington have by no means sdandoned the field They have succeeded in heading off leg islation for the Nicaragua canal before, when congressional and public sentiinen was overwhelmingly in favor of it, and they hope to do so sgain. It ia a fight for life with the Panama company, as it ill be as good as dead the minute that this government is fully committed to aud the money provided for the con struction of the Nicaragua canal. Foresters Matquerade. The mask ball given on Thanksgiving evening by the Foresters of America was grand social and financial success and the most completely enjoyable event in its line which has occurred for many months. One of tbe very largest crowds was present which has ever attended any similar event in Grants Pass. There were about 300 spectators besides about 25 maskers. The grand march, ''Oregon's Metropo lis" a very fine musical production, was very worthy of mention. Tbe music rendered by Demaree's orchestra was of he character and quality' which has made that organiiation extremely popu lar witb the dance going public A number of prizes were awarded those who took precedence in the various phases of the entertainment. Tbe first prue, a silver cake dish was awarded Miss Cora Ramsey as the best cake walker. The second price, a silver pickle dish was awarded Miss Alice Lemon (or the best costume. Tbe third prize for best sustsined character, was awarded Mr. A. Scbaringsnn as Irish dude, who received a silk mufller. There were a number of extremely well sus tained characters, who deserve mention, Mr. and Mrs, A. B. Cornell as nuns and Hoy Pool as "Old Rube," gained es pecial attention. It was a most enjoyable and orderly afTair throughout, no unpleasant event occurring to mar the pleasure of the evening. Tbe ball netted the order about $75. Ollklal VotaalOngM.

The western delegates went home wil the feeling that they have the hearty support of eastern interests in securing action which will open lo settlement ball a continent, capable of supportln fifty million people.
