After the Oregon State Fair is over
the cream of the fruit and vegetable and
arain exhibits will be sent to the World's
fair, where they will be exhibited in the
Oregon departments to which they prop
erly belong. The State Agricultural
College has donated its magnificent ex
hibit of potatoes, grain", grasses and
vegetables, and the State Board will send
its special exhibits of grasses, grains,
fruit and vegetables. These will go far
toward attracting yet greater notice to
Oregon.
At the World's Fair the Committee on
Momenclature alter some of the names
of Oregon fruits shipped for exhibition,
but they unanimously agree that the
aolor, flavor, texture and general excel
lence of the fruit are remarkable and
unsurpassed. The fruits have all been
labeled with the names of the growers
who produced them, and they derive all
the benefit arising from the publicity
given. The managers of the Oregon ex
hibits are using their very best endeav
ors to place exhibits in such a position
as to catch the eyes of the capitalists
and those who are Beeking homes. It is
surprising to note the great number of
people who are so much interested, and
who want all the literature they can pro
rare on the subject. , The exhibits will
be the means of inducing many of the
best class of bomeseekers to locate in
Oregon during the next five years, and
will bring unlimited Capital.

soon as possible, so that business can
sooner adjust Itself to the new condi
tions. The bill introduced in the House by
Representative Everett of Massachusetts
to give tho Chinese a year from the pres
ent time to register iB undoubtedly to be
the administration measure. Senator
Dolph says that, if the Chinese govern
ment would ask for an extension of time
for Chinese laborers to register and give
some assurance that if an opportunity
were given they would register, Congress
might take such a request in considera
tion. But, as no such request has been
made or assurance given by China on
behalf of the Chinese, the proposition
to give further time iB merely a hack
down by the government in accordance
with the views and deeiree of the admin
istration. In the Senate Squire of Washington

benefit of the owner, but there shall onlv
be paid to the person so depositing it
such a number of standard silver dollars
as shall emial the commercial value of
the silver bullion deposited. The differ
ence, if any, between the coin value and
the commercial value shall be retained
by the government as seignorage. The
coinage shall not exceed (4,000,000 per
month, and when the gross amount
reaches (200,000,000 It is to cease. The
dollars thus coined are to lie legal tender.
In the Senate Stewart of Nevada in
troduced an amendment to the repeal
bill authorizing the President to invite
the governments of Mexico, Central and
South America, Hayti and San Domingo
to join the United States in a conference
in Washington four months after the
passage of the act, to secure the adop
tion of a common silver dollar of not
less than 369.91 grains nor more than
383.13 grains pure silver, to he issued bv
each government, to be a legal tender
for all commercial transactions between
all citizens of all the American Ntates ;
that the findings of the delegates shall
be binding on the governments which
send them, and on an agreement lieing
reached the government represented
shall open mints to the unlimited coin
age of silver for the benefit of depositors.
