The light tins been ofllclully postponed until Mon day, on account of Mnhcr's sore eyes. The opinions of physicians differ, somo maintaining that he will be out In three days, and others giving him at least a week to remain in his loom Even if Maher Is able to enter the ring Monday, he will not be ablo to do himself justice, as he has been practically out of training for a week. Maher is greatly worried, 'lest the public think his sore eyes arc a sub terfuge to cnablo him to avoid going Into tho ring. Stuart is ready to pull off the light at any time the men are ready. Tho spot where the battlo ground Is to bo Is still a secret. Everybody thinks It would be In Mexico, off tho line of the Southern Pacific railroad, anywhere from 60 to 100 miles cast of El Paso. Conditions may arise, it is claimed, that will permit It to como oil ab Juarez without Interference, but this not likely. El Paso, Feb. 14. The big light Is postponed until Monday, at the earli est, and when that day arrives tho future of Peter Maher will be deter mined. It Is the eyes of Maher that threat en to stop the event. Buck Connelly, one of Maher's seconds, said that Maher'a eyes .were so badly inflamed by sand LlowJug intnem during his training, that he could scarcely sec. Stuart at onco set to work to secure a postponement of the light to enable Maher to get Into condition. According to tho conditions of tho match Maher and Fltzslmmons each posted a forfeit of $1000 tolnsuro their appearance In the ring. Maher came to this city at 0:30 last night. His eye's wcro tightly closed and ho wore a green shado over them. Over the green shado was a traveling cap with tho visor pulled down close upon the nose to prevent tho light from strlk ldg his eyes. Newspaper representatives wcro sent for by Connelly and Maher's eyes were inspected. They wcro swollen almost shut and water exuded from tho corners. Raising of tho lids showed tho eye-balls wcro greatly Inflamed and raattcratcd. Maher has been training In the old adobo rink at Los Cruccs. The dust was 60 thick when he was going through his exer cises that tho visitors complained of it and warned Maher against continu ing tho work in an atmosphero of dust. Sunday one of his eyes began to pain him. It was decided that he had sand in them but it would only temporarily inconvenience him. Tuesday both eyes wcro affected and tho condition of tho fighter became worse, and yes terday ho could not see. Maher's trouble Is not uncommon in this region. Dr. Yandcll, tho oity health offlccr, who looked at tho sufferer last night said that Mnher would not bo able to enter the ring for a week. Martin Julian and Fltzslmmons were sent for as soon as Maher was placed in tho room. Both examined tho sufferer's eyes, expressing their sympathy for him, and announced that they would not under any circumstances claim tho forfeit. They will give Maher ample time to recover. 8ET FOIt MONDAY. Manager Wado of tho Western Union Telegraph company is officially informed that tho great Maher Fltzslmmons prize fight and other fights between prominent pugilists will come off Monday, February 17.

The Capital City a Center of Mining News, j 'Salem bids fair to bedomo the cen tre of a mining cxcltcnjcnt second to none on the Pacific coast. Dr. Smith, of tho Lawlcr mining syndicate, reached Salem with two sacks of ore this morning to bo as sayed. They aro samples from a group of ten mines that Mr. W. B. Lawlcr will bond in London inside of thirty days for twlco what ho did tho Red and Whlto Bull mines now at work, oro from which ho will show on this trip to England. "I have Just been In Cripple Creek and Trail Creek mines and barring their largest and richest mine, tho avoraBO-orcs-Jn.tluirfianUum district carry more per ton than tho mines so far discovered In Colorado. Wo can safely predict a mining excitement for tno nulct Capital city that will surprlso somo of your conservative people." Mr. Smith says Portland capitalists of tho Commercial club aro offering them big figures for tholr properties, but there aro thousands just as good In the mountains that aro not yet claimed. Inside of six months another big stamping mill will bo on tho ground. There Is no end to tho capital to bo hud from England on such showings as is mado for this region. The first clean-up from tho Lawlcr mines, will bo taken to London and will show as fino u brick of precious motal as was over taken across tho water. It will bo tho starter of tho biggest mining excitement ever felt in Oregon. Mines showing not over $3 to$la ton, sell for (100,000 in Colorado. Our lowest grado ores hero show $15 a ton. $40,000 has been spent starting tho stamps at the Lawlcr mines. The town lots at Gates, Murlou county, qro selling nt big prices today, some as high as 950 to $250 a lot, that have heretofore had no market as they are In the virgin forest. A new stage line is to bo started into tho mines from tcbanons and Salem business men want to stir them selves If they do not wunt to loso lots of good business. EXCITEMENT BI'JtKADINCJ. Since the Btnmp mills went to work excitement has spread and tho Lawlcr syndicate has entered scores of claims, consldcrs-and them all valuable. All prejudices against mines in tho Salem district is disappearing, and there Is no need for Oregon men too g to Col orado to find paying Investments. This Journal will dally print all tho rcllablo mining news of tho new district of which Salem 1b bound to bo tho commercial as it is tho geographi cal center. A railroad to Staytou would make Salem the nearest point of shipment or ncccess to the Santlam mines. It is being strongly talked by some of our capi talists. The people aro slowly realiz ing that tho mining Interests of this section aro of vast importance and aro attracting the attention of the capitalists of both worlds.

Facts of Interest from the Quartzville and Other Mines of Oregon. The fact that tho Lawlcr syndicate has a large quanty of valuables oro in sight at their mines in Quartzville district, and about the mlddlo of tho present month starts up the ma chinery, hns attracted widespread attention. Concerning this and other Oregon mines tho Northwest Mining Journal of Spokane says: Mr. A. Strong, of Salem, Oregon, was In the city. From him wo learned something additional of tho mining operations of Western ami Southwestern Oregon. Mr. Strong was until recently ono of tho principal owners of tho Red and Whlto Bull group of mines In tho Quartzville district, In Linn county, about sixty miles southeast of Salem, and which qroduced somo very rich quartz In tho placer days, somo thirty years ago. Recently, how'ever, Mr. W. B. Lawlcr, of Salt Lake, visited the property repairing to London, England, and formed a syndlcnto which purchased tho property, consist ing of elghtquartzclalmsand botweon thrco and four hundred acres of placor ground, making payment principally In cash and issuing n liberal amount of stock to Mr. Strong. Tho company under the clllccnt management of Mr. Lawlcr, then proceeded to equip tho mines with machinery of tho latest and mosto Improved pattern. A 40 stamp mill was purchased, twenty stamps of which will bo operated Mils winter and tho balanco added in tho spring; iG lit Edge concentrating tables and cyanide nuxllllary constitute tho balance of tho machinery so far ord ered. This machinery was purchased from McFarlano & Co., of Denver. A lino electric lighting plant Is also ono of tho Itnpiovcments made. Tho ledges aro large and tho oro runs from $15 to $20 in gold to tho ton. Thero are several good gold districts along tho west slopo of tho Cascado mount ains, natnelyt Tho Molalla, Quartz vlllc, Bluo River and Bohemia. In tho Molalla district soveral Portland people aro Interested, and they propose equipping their mines wlrh a mill In- tho near fntute. Bohomia hasBcvoral mills in operation, tho principal prop erty ."perhaps being the Annie, recently sold by Mr. McGeo to Chicago parties at a prlco not known by Mr. Strong nt the time of his visit. Bluo River district Is being thoroughly prospected nud has every nppcarauce of being n lino district, with oro similar to tho ores of Bohe mia. Boston parties aro erecting atmioltcr lu tho vaclnlty of Grant's Pass to treat 'the oro from somo extensive copper initio they have purchased. Mr. Strong says tho wholo south western part of Oregon Is n rich placer field, which yields a haudsomo annual revenue. Much of tho land claimed and patented by tho Southern Pacific Company Is of a mlucr.il character, but tho laud department puts tho bunion of proof on tho miner and many times ho may bo away In the fastnesses of tho mountains and re turning after bovoral months finds his land deeded away from him. Said Mr Streng: "You have mado good selections lu Mr. S. R. Hnmmer, of Salem, and Mr. W. B. Lawler, of Albany, for vice-presidents of tho Northwest Mining Association for their sections. Each Is an ablo and rcllablo man thoroughly Interested In seeing tho great mining Industry of the Northwest promoted and fostered as It deserves." Ho also stated that a largo mcml)ershlp would bo enrolled from Southwestern Oiegon. Woolen lliuu Bmctc Tho report that all tho brick for tho now Salem Woolen Mills were supplied by tho State Prison with convict labor Is not true. Tho Job of furnishing tho brick was awarded to Burton Bros,, but as they had only 150,000 on hand und could not supply tho rest, an arrange ment was made to furnish as many moro from the State Prison brick ynrd and take pay for them in blankets, the state uslnga great many. Without tho state brick, It Issald, tho building could not bo put up before next fall. Mimtaky Ball. Thero will bo a grand ball at tho armory hall Friday evening, February 21, 1800, given by tho O.

Latest U.S. Gov't Report Drftl m JMTCS&S AMKMWTKUT WJ THE M'KINLEY BOOM Started In Chicago on Lin coln's Birthday, WASTHEGUEST0FH0N0R First Appearanco In Anothor State Since a Private Citizen, When William McKlnley rose to speak at the banquet In tho auditor ium, given by tho Marquette club of Chicago, in commemoration of tho birth of Abraham Lincoln, 1C00 men cheered tho Ohlonn with the vehem enco of enthusiastic admiration. Ho spoke to thotoast"Abraham Lincoln." Tho occasion wns notablo as tho first public uppcarauco of Ohio's fam ous son In another state Blnco his return from the governorship to tho position of a private citizen. Major McKlnley dovotcd himself to a consideration of current political questions, as exemplified by tho speeches and writings of Mr. Lincoln. Ho said: "A profound common sense Is tho best genius for stntcmanshlp, and thero is no substitute for it. Lincoln Is certainly the most sagacious and far-seeing statesman In the annals of American history. Ills whole llfo Justifies this estimate of him. It Is notlcablo that his stand on nil pub lic questions In his earlier as well an his later career stamp him as the wisest exponent of political truths wo havo over had. "As far back as March 1, 1813, nt a whig meeting in Springfield, Mr. Lincoln offered a series of resolutions relating to tho tariff, whlchcould well bo accepted lioro tonight. They were then unanimously adopted, and Mr. Lincoln was himself appointed to proparo an address to tho peoplo of tho stato upon tho subjects which they embraced. Let mo road from this address his profound observations upon tariff and taxation and their relation to tho condition of tho ceuntry: " 'Tho first of our resolutions,' snld Mr. Lincoln, 'declares a tariff of duties upon foreign Importations, producing sufficient revenuo for tho support of tho general government, and so ad justed as to protect American Indus try, to bo Indispensably necessary to tho prosperity of tho American people; and tho second declares direct tax ation for a national rovcuuo to bo Im proper. " 'For several years past tho reven ues of the government havo been un equal to Its expenditures, and conse quently loan after loan, somotliues direct and sometimes Indirect in form, has been resorted to. By this means a new national debt has been cientcd, and Is still growing on us with a rapidity fearful to contcmplatoa itipidjty only reasonably to bo ex pected lu time of war. This stato of things has lwcii produced by a prevail ing unwillingness cither to lucreaso tho tariff or to report to direct tax ation. But the ono or the other must como. Coming expenditures must bo met, and the present debt must bo paid; and money cannot always le Iwrrowed for these objects. Tho sys tem of loans Is but temporary In Its nature, and must soon explode. It Is n system not only runlous whllo It lasts, hut one that must soon fall and leave us destitute. As an Individual , who undertakes to live by Iwrrowlng soon finds his original means devoured by Interest, and, next, no ono to bor row from, so must It bo with the government. " 'By this system (tho piotectlvo) tho man who contents himself to H) upon the products of his own country pays nothing at nil. Surely our country Is cxtonslvo enough und Hi products abundant and varied enough to answer all tho real wants of its people, In short, by the protective system tho burden of revenuo fulls almost entirely upon tho wealth)! inrt luxurious few while tho substantial Continued on second page.
