The paat week in Washington has been marked by two ot the largest and moat elaborate social events, excepting, of course, the atate function at the White Houae, which have aver occurred in tbi city. On Thursday Mia Helen Hay, daughter of the aecretary of state wa married to Mr. Payne Whit ney, amid surroundings the moat beautiful and elaborate which nnlimited wealth could procure. The church of the Covenant ii a bandeome, though not ornate, etiucture, but on Thursday it wa transformed into bower of easier lilies. Fioui window to window wa festooned southern auiilax and at every angle was an immense bunch of lilies. The middle aisle wa lined with tall buncbee ol the same fragrant flower and with li'ver candelabra ao that the bridal party passed up a perfect avenue ef light and lilies. Immense palm,' cluster of lilies and white rose almost screened the organ and surrounded the reading desk. When the pew were filled with representative of the diplomatic corps, member of the supreme' court and the president and his family, surrounded by the cabinet familiea, the assemblage presented a most brilliant appearance. The bride, who i an exceptionally pretty girl, wore a very simple gown of white satin and a tulle veil held in place by a wreath of orange blossom. Bhe carried a shower bouquet of white orchids and orange blossoms, so arranged as to fall over her band and reach to the hem of her gown. The marriage ceremony was.1, followed by elaborate breakfast to which a com paratively small number of guests were bidden, The president, In a brief but happy speech, proposed the health of the bride. On Friday evening Senator and Mr, iianna gave a private reception at the Arlington hotel, the large ball room being called into requisition and the more formal early hour of the evening being followed by dancing. Over one tboniand guests were present during the evening and many of them remarked that the occasion reminded them of the days of President Arthur's administra tion when large entertainments were the rule rather than the small and numerous dinner with which they have since been replaced. The occasion was somewhat marred by the enforced absence of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, the latter having been called that afternoon to the bedside of their eldest eon who is suffering from pneumonia at the college at Grolon, Mas. Tha illuese of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., baa seriously interfered with the president' plans, it having been bis intention to leave thi afternoon for Charleston where he was- to have attended the exposition now in progress. At present hi movements are all in abeyance and will depend entirely upon the new from (iroton where he will go immediately if hi sod's condition should grow critical. Mrs. Roosevelt had issued cards for an afternoon tea for today but these have, of course, been recalled. Apropos of young ltoosovelt'a illuefi it may be well to lay that the widely published statement that the young man was responsible for the cus tom followed by the students at Oroton, of going without their hats, ha been contradicted. The habit considerably antedate yonng Theodore' entry to the college. Aiide from the passage by the home for aa appropriation bill which give to the president the authority to place under the restriction of the classified service, those employe of ths war and other department whose employment was necessitated by the Spanish war, an authority which the president desired and which he will doubtless avail him self, there has been no important .legis lation at the capitol this week. The senate ha passed the pension appro priation bill carrying an appropriation oi i.8,(iai,iaiu. in tuii include a clause prohibiting the acceptance of a fee or other compensation by attorney or others for services rendered in secur ing the psssage of special pension bills. If the bouse passes the measure, Includ ing thia clause, it will prove a severe blow to a large nu m Iter of pension attorneys. The regular order nf business in the senate is still the Philippines revenae bill, but Benalor Lodge has given notice that be believes the minority have devoted sufficient time to it debate and that be proposes to push its passato. It will be followed by the irrigation bill, to which It is believed there will be little opposition in the upper chamber but which will doubtlaa occupy con siderable time judging the nuuibsr of senator who have told me that tbey have prepared speeches on the subject. The house has devoted the major por tion of ita time, since my lait letter, to the consideration of the Henry oleomar garine bill which i a lucceasor to the Grout bill. The opposition ha been particularly vigorous and prolix, the maasure having been debated to a far greater length than is equal with such bills in the lower chamber. Representative Oscar W, Underwood, of Alabama ha beeo among those who have contested the pasaage ef the bill and when I asked bim the reason for bi opposition yeaterday be (aid, "I consider It one of the most dangerous pieces ot class legislation which ba aver been brought before the bouse. In spirit, the measure is an absolute in' terferenca with interstate commerce. Oleomargarine ha been pronounced I legitimate and healthful food product and thi bill 1 an attempt to tax it out ef eiistence. Of course it is framed onder the guise of a revenue measare and as 1 have no doubt the auprem court will sustain it but no on candidly believe that It is being proposed fur tbe loiall revenue which will be derived from It 'This bill assesses a tax of 10 cents on every pound of oleomargarine that is colored yellow. 8uppose that the time should coma when the beet sugar in terest controlled a majority in this home and they, taking this bill as a precedent, should conclude to assess white cane sugar 10 cents per pound. A yea know, all cane augar is yellow until it i refined and they might, with equal jaitice, maintain that to refine it until it wa whit wa to mak it aimilar in appearance to beet sugar and con sequently a violation ot tha right of tbe beet lugar producer. I thiuk I have aid enough to ahow you wby I am ao seriously opposed to the Uenry bill." Grand Scenery of Shasta Route). In toing over the famous "Shasta Route" of the Southern Pacific Co, the traveler ever find something new to excite bia admiration and interest. Starting at Portland, one traverse tb whole length of tb Willamette Valley, the gem of the Northwest. Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson, and the Three Sisters and other snow-capped peaki are kept in sight for hours. The beautiful valleys of the Umpqua and Rogue Rivers, with their orchards of prunes, peaches, apples, and other fruits are a delight in them olve. The crossing of tbe great mount ain barrier between Oregon and Calif ornia reveal the grandest mountain sce nery In the United States. The wonderful turnings, twietlngs, and doubling! of the railroad bring into view a grand array of towering mountains and profound gorges into which we gaze fioin dizxy heights, forest clad mountain slopes stretchinj up to the line of perpetual suow, and the foamlag mountain streams dashing fiercely down deep canyons, now and then stopping for a short rest in some quiet pool. After a day' enjoymont of old Mt. Shasta, the finest peak on the continent, we drop rapidly down the canyon of the Sacramento to the broad plains of the Sacramento Valley in Cal ifornia, and thence through vineyards and orchards to Sun Francisco.

Senator Bacon, of Georgia, who has just returned from a tour of study in the Philippines, baa written for The Satur day Evening Post, of Philadelphia, a valuable paper on tbe business aspect of our insular affairs.

Opposed to Vaccination. A sensation was caused in Boston by the announcement by the board of health that Dr. Iramanuul Pfeifler, who voluntarily exposed himself to small pox, at the hospital at ,Ullou;-s Island, about two week ago, i ill with tbe disease in the wont form and probably cannot live. Dr. 1'leilfer ia on of th strongest oppouenta of vaccination In the state, and recently appeared before the legislative committee to urge the repeal ot the compulsory vaccination law.

Th Medford Mail has th following account concerning ". F. Hunter's map RoKue river: The gentleman was detailed last fall to make a correct map of Rogue river from its source to its mouth. He started out upon hi trio in small boat with on assistant and in thirty-two days he had nssde the entire trip. While en route bi assistant quit and be wa compelled to pick np another man for the remainder of tha trip. hich change of help give Mr. Hunter the distinction of having boon tha first man who ever travened tha entire length of the etroam. In making the trip he took account of all rapida and falls', crooks and bends, all obstruction n the river channels' and aa well the to pography of the country for some dis tance on either side of the river. The trip baa given to Oregon map maker many facta regarding th Rogue river which have heretofore been unknown, as a good part of tha river had never be fore been mapped. For instance, tbe only perpendicular falls on tbe river are near Mt. Reuben, were tb water falls twelve feet; tbe narrowest place I ten miles above tbe confluence ot Mule creek whore the river I but fifteen feet wide; at Horseshoe bend, which dues not show on any map previously made, tba river makes a loop and so sharp ia it that al one point a stone can easily be thrown across the lend around which the river runs, while by the river it ia fully a mile. The Davit's Stair which are on the old pack trail, are indeed a curioua bit of early day crude engineering. Her the trail doubles upon itself in climbing the mountain and so close are the trails, one above the other, that a horseman could easily step from the trail above onto a horse on the trail bolow. It is Ight in here where the rlvur narrow to about thirty feet and passes between mountain walls fully 3900 feet high. So dark is it in this pasaage that during tbe early forenoon a person in a boat on the water can, by looking upwards, see the stars as plainly as at midnight. All ol these facta were noted by Mr. Hunter upon the trip he made, and the fact that nearly all of them are inside of the forty miles of tbe unexplosed portion of the river makes his map just that much mora valuable. Another peculiar fact exists regarding the river and that is that the volume of water does not increase to any perceptible degree from tha source of the river until the Illinois river emptiaa into it. Tbe evaporation seem to take up the added supply from the main river' tributries. Mr. Hunter fonnd in the forty mile of unexplored distance not more than half a doxen people and these were minera. Further down be found a great number of aettlers all very nice people, who were anxiously awaiting the coming of some enterprise which would happen their way and bet ter their conditions.

Improvements. Now the Southern Pacific's Oregon lines are to be brought into harmony with the modurii schsma ol railroad Im provement. These lines, the operation of which has been reported to result In a net deficit of about $.000,000 a year, are to have heavier rails, new bridges, filled treaties, ballasted track and new depot buildings. This work has only been begun, but all available forces will le kept at it, and there is no indication that this year will see lta finish. A good beginning will be made this year, hut the probabilities are that the hear lest expense will come next season, un lens there shall b something unexpected to Interiors with plans now taking hape. A bout MX), 000 cubic yards of trestle- filling will he put la between Ashland and Dunsmuir this season, eliminating a large number of trestles on the divis ion across the Siskiyou mountains and putting that stretch of track In much toller condition than it ha aver been That part of the road will also lie laid with 80-pound steel rails for a distance of alwut 30 miles. It will take 125 tons of these new rsils for a mil of tract, or 37.V) tons in all, They sre now being re' ce I veil, and are expected to be laid early In Its leaiion. The new rails and filled trestles will enable train to mak much fanler lime scroll the mountain! holding rolling stock of greater weight than is necessary for this service. One steam shovel has already com uienced work in the Siskiyous, and another 1 at tha Can by gravel pit digging out ballast to bo used between Can by and Aurora. When thi atrttch hall be completed the Mohawk branch will l ballasted with gravel, and then the work will lie prosecuted in th Kogue Itiver Valley, and between Itoie- burg and Myrtle creek, in the Umrxju Valley, Forty miles or more of this ballasting will be dons beforo fall. A new steel bridge is to be constructed across the Clackamas river to take the place of the present wooden structure Another steel bridge will be built across the Klamath river near Klaina thou, a few miles southward of tin Oregon boundary line. That bridge will have a ipso of 2ft) feet, and wor upon it will begin next week. Other bridges may be renewed, though plans for such further work have not yet be psrtected. Otegonian.

I am Indebted to Mis Lyman for tb report of onr atate convention, being unable to be present myself; so ah shall speak: "It was a bright and beautiful day, a wacam through Tongue Point, and Astoria swept Into view. A delegation of white ribboners met a) at the depot, and w marched through the street of the city, causing people to oome to their shop-doors to aee us. There were two llttl boy who acted as pago. One very pretty little girl, three year old, who wa with her mother at every senion, and on young baby, whose mother cam from the other side of the Cascade Mountains, There were gray-hairtd grandmother .and young iris. Onr procession, i itaelf showed the breadth of our work. Th flower decorations in tb M. E. church wr beautiful, while the pic ture of France .

Con don, of Eugeu. She dated, among other reminiscence, that Mi. Condon was won to th white-ribbon cauie through Misa Willard's personal in fluence. Tha whole convention waa remarkable for tbe spirit ol harmony that pervaded all th session. We bad some interest ing devotional exerciae, taken part In of many delsgata. Hi evening session were very pleasant and well attended. Tbe first night w bad Mr. Harford's address, which caught the ear (and I am lure, tb heart) ol many out siders, a; wall a onr delegate.. "Y." night wa made attractive by report Irom several ol oar girl, a well th address by Mr. Ida Marster, th secre' tary. I suppose tbe Demorest medal cue tet called out the greateat lutereit from the general public and tb largeat audience. To me, tha lait evening was tbe most Interesting. Demonstration night. One of the prettiest pictures was that of the little three-year-old child standing by an immense black New fouudland dog and patting bis head, an illustration of tba Mercy department Another striking picture was children, dressed in the costumes of many nations, standing band In band, they themselves being children of foreign parent. A dear little tot ol tbe Mongolian race, In Chinese dress, stood, holding tbe band of an equally dear little American girl smiling at eacb other as they stood. then we all stood, with linked hands to ling our good-bye hymn, "Blest be the tie that binds." It was a most delight ful four days of plesiant Intercourse The koipltality of the people ol Astoria was ol tha genuine kind, and wa shall not soon lorget It all. Telegram of greeting brought us near to the convca lion of West Virginia. Tb unanimity of the election ef officers was very pleasant to those elected all our own old tried ones. Taking np now tbe work-a-day lei sions, 1 see that Marion is in oaaner county fur tho largest number of new members. Mr. Steele reported a won' derful growth, especially in Turner where there are now seventy-one mem ber ol tb union, twsuty-six of whom proudly wear the whit ribbon. Tbi banner, which tor eighteen years has received the caress oi affectionate hand, 1 becoming very much worn, and must be soon replaced by another. the old one being an heir-looin to the state.
