It is mid that the Colombian Gov ernment, which purchased the steamer Cutrh for war porpoKes, has been negotiating with the Canadian Pacific Railroad for the purchase of the steamers Athenian and Tartar for a similar purpose. Infoi mation received from U. 8. Consul O. Bin Ruvndal at Heirut, Byria, shows that the Syrians are taking great interest in the World's Fair at St. Louis. The merchants and manufacturers of that country have been greatly benefitted by the American exposition directly and indirectly. They not only have made money but have gained many in Ideas by their contact with the people of the western world. The silk weav lug, filagree and other Syrian Indus tries have been revived as a conse quence of business built op through the influence of American Exjsisi tions. Mr. Ravndal savs that there will be a flue display of Damascus iqs'cialtics by a Beirut syndicate and that a lively jiarticijaition on the part of Syria in tho Exposition may lie expected. "Unless Cuba is annexed to the United Slates within a year it never will be," said G. Castellauns, of Havana. "If the United States wants the island, now is the time for them to get it. The people are Mir, and there is no demand for tho sugar and tobacco, the priucinl products. The failure of Congress to adopt the recip rocity resolution was a great blow to the island, but wo think wo shall find a demand for our sugar in Eurojie. When this is done our ieo- pin will become prosperous, and all will oppose annexation. Hut now, witli hard times staring them in the face, a grejit many Culmus favor an nexatlou. This is eswcially true with tho wealthy classes. They want to sell their products, and reali.e the benefits they would derive personally by having an oiieii market. It will take several years to bring order out of chaos and establish prosjHTity. Hut when this is done the. coplo will bo satisfied, and will npjxise any effort toward annexation. " COMING EVENTS.

Harry Tracy, the outlaw murderer, who has been defying the authorities of two states, is dead. A hot battle with the posse, in which the bandit was severely and pcrlia) fatally wounded, 'was follow ed by his suicide.

His leg had been broken in the fight and an artery severed from which he would have bled to death. Tracy had attempted to stop the flow of blood by binding a strap about his leg, but this did little good. It is, then thought that, seeing death staring him in the fuce, Tracy deliberately took his life by placing the muzzle of a 43 Colts close to his head and firing. The remains of Harry Tracy were received in Salem Monday morning, and were quietly buried in the prison cemetery by the side of David Merrill, the confederate whom the outlaw had cowardly murdered.

Wisccarver, the owner of rich placer claims, on Bolun creek, brought in a handsome pile of nuggets from his mines, last Thrnsday. One of the big pieces contained $11.1. All of the nuggets were bright, smooth aud pure, and of the highest quality. Mr. Wisccarver's placer mine, con sisting of four claims is located be tween tho two forks of Bolan creek, he bringing his water supply from the main branch of that stream.

Montgomery, the well known mining man, who has a good placer claim on Grouse creek, in Siskiyou county, has been ill Ashland during the mst few days. He was coins'lled to quit work on his mine in order to eoine out and protect his property against the grasping tilings of the t ho lier locators who are now swarming ill the wotsls of Southern Oregon and Northern California. These timber locators have filed claims on thousands of acres that miners have been pros ivcting and working for the ist .W years. They have Ivecii tiled under the timber laud act of is;s, claiming that the laud is more valuable for its timber or stone than for agricultural purposes. Mr. Montgomery has tiled a protest against a locator who covered his claim at the Redding land olliee. The milling men of the Heaver, Grouse, ami Hungry creek districts are considerably exercisi d lur tin condition of things hrougi.t i.ls-ut by the rusJi for timlvcr lands and I : t made some attempts for concert! 1 ; e lion in the matter but with rn vi ry gn at success.

The drilling plant of the Southern Oregon Oil Company of Ashland, one and one-halt nines east oi town was destroyed by fire, w hose origin is a mystery, Saturday afternoon, at about 4 o'clock. The large barn of Mr. Goo, M.

I he lire represents a loss or approxi mately J.MOO to the oil company and tldOO to Mr. Wright . The origin of the lire seems shrouded in mystery. The Southern Oregon Oil ConqianyV drilling plant was the largest and most expensive one put into operation in the state and had iicrfuratcd the eartl for a depth of very close to two thous and feet when work was temporarily susis nded several weeks ago. From the beginning, the promises of finally striking oil in paying quantities were extra good and seepages and other ill ideations of the presence of petroleum gave the promoters of the cnternrisc the greatest faith in final success, were drilling operations continued t a sufficient depth.
