QUAY was refused a seat in the senate ' yesterday afternoon o i a vote of 3) to )2. Manila Is blamed for his defeat, because he left Washington for his home in Ohio In the forenoon. vi::Ti:imAViv nr .iiv,i,t-h..i !.!. that Governor Roosevelt has heed lead into line and pursuaded to accept the ' nomination of vice-president, as a run- ning mate for McKlnley. SUMPTliK has been receiving consider-' able advertising of laU, of a rather ques- tionable character. If the thing continues much longer, some action will have to be taken to expose the fakirs. THI: Oregon Mistorlcal Society Is mak- illg ail effort to have the old pioneer trail ' across the mountains marked bv a sei its 1 nf nrrm.-ttient inniitimrnts. The imvrmnr of Idaho has been asked to co-operate and 1 he has sleuthed his wllliuicuess to do so. I LATEST estimates from British sources put the number of men and officers who have hern killed, wounded, captured or otherwise put out ol nitiou in the Roer war as 2 1,000. This is indeed rt, ..I 1 . . 1 sacrifice to the avarice of the money kings nf South African and huropran finance.

IP any onr thinks thr proplr of Sump ter are absorbed in politics, let him try to Irad thr conversation of any group of citi zens away from (lie f.ivotite topic of .mining towards the political bunco game, -ind he will quickly be undeceived. Let film hire a hall to do a little spellbinding and he'll not draw a corporal's guard. Urgr the necessity of registration and he will have no listeners. REPORT comes from the east that the gold democrats will make .1 "strong, bit ter tight" against the nomination of Rryan at Kansas City. This movement will be characterised by bitterness, all right enough, but It will never assume the dig nity of a real tight and Its chief character istic will be Its weakness. The Whitney Hill outfit won't be in the running. It does seem that that New York crowd can't comprehend any proposition outside , of the little Island which it inhabits. PRESS dispatches state that the repub-l llcan governor, Taylor, of Kentucky, Isj imeiy 10 remain in New iorrc lor some time. It Is believed that he has received assurances from Governor Roosevelt,, who has consulted with ex-President Ren jamln Harrison on the subject, that he, ' the governor of New York, will decline to honor any extradition demanded by the democratic contestant for governor, Beck- l ham.
