Captain Charles O'Nell, chief of the bureau of ordinance.proposes to make a recommendation in his forthcoming annual report that at least $500,000 be appropriated for tills purpose. In the opinion of Captain O'Nell this sum is not too large to be authorized atone time. It is estimated that $3,000,000 will be required to equip with modern batteries the 28 steamers now enrolled In the government service as auxiliary cruisers, and at the rate which con gress has followed the last two years In dribbling out appropriations, 15 years must elapse before suffi cient money shall have been obtained to supply the ships now subsidized with the guns which their tonnage and structural strength call for. This period will, of course, bo greatly re duced if congress should adopt Cap tain, O'Neil's plan and make an ap propriation of half a. million each year. Under the laws American vessels drawing subsidies and foreign-built vessels which hayeacquired American register and availablefor Impressment lulu .ar service. At the present time the largest number of the sub sidized steamers belong to the third class. Hut four classes aie rated as first-class and two fourth-class. There are no auxiliary cruisers of tho second class. The list of first-rate cruisers Is com posed of the St. Louis, St. Paul, Paris and New York, the property of the International Navigation Company, of New York. The St. Louis and St. Paul are sister ships, and were built by Cramp & Sons, of Philadelphia. They were built of steel iu 1895, and their gross tonnage Is 11,020 each. The St. Paul Is otllclally faster, her speed being recorded at 22.49 knots per hour, while that of the St. Louis is 22.2. The battery which each of theso ships will carry In time of war will be eight six-Inch guns; four slx pounders and tix machine guns. The Batteries of the Paris and New York will be Jheavier. Eacli of the three ships will be equipped with 12 six inch guns, six six-pounders and six machine guns. Neither vessel, how over, Is as speedy as the St. Louis, the speed of the Paris being 20.7 knots while that of .the New York is 20.8 knots. The Paris was built by an English firm and the New York was constructed In Scotland. The only other cruiser which will carry six-inch gun in the City of Syd ney. This steamer belongs to tho Pa cific Mall Navigation Company and connects San Francisco and Panama. She was built of iron by Roach & Son, inl87P,andls of 3017 ton9 displace ment. In case ot war she would be equipped with six-Inch gun, 10 six pounders and two machine guns. (Continued from page two.) It Is announced that "our delega tion" has recommended Mr. C. B. Moores for the office of register of the ana oiucc at Oregon City. This is the office for which Mr. Moores was an applicant, and his appointment wm give satisfaction. Without in tending to be Invidious to other as pirants for this place, we have no hesitation in saying that Mr. Moores is an able and intelligent gentleman, and will make a capable and efficient officer. We are glad that Charlie got there and wish him success and hap piness. At the same time, It must be seen, that the haste In making this recommendation after Mr. Geer's refusal of the same office, Indicate that some of our dele gation are angry "blamed mad" and intend to punish hltu for his Im pudence. Mr. Gcer must take notico that "our delegation" will not only refuse to recommend him for any other office, but will oppose the con sideration of his claims for tho col lectorship. Mr. Gcer passing under the ban of Ellis and McBride's dis pleasure I A sight for God's and menl instead ttiey have put the tall sycamore of the Waldo Hills In a position of enviable popularity in his party. CUBA SHALL BE FREE An Interesting Interview Reported. SPAIN IS TO END THE WAR, Great Secrecy in Official Circles in France. The Oregon delegation have sent to Washington some further recommen dations for office, of pesons whose names they are unwilling to make known to the public. This looks as If they were distrustful of the propriety of some of their recommendatlons,and sought to keep back knowledge of them from the public, in order to af ford themselves an opportunity to hedge, In case any of them should cause a howl of publlcoplnion.Therels one thlng.ihoweyer, dead sure: our del egation will not commit tjho mistake again of recommending a man of prominence and character for an of fice for which lie lias neither applied nor been recommended by his friends. Hereafter they will confine themselves to cases where the applicant Is ready to take "any old tiling" as a sop, and be satisfied. We are not looking for great statesmanship In some of our delegation, and are not surprised that peanut politics is in the ascendant among them. Ellis' and McBride's explanation of the Gcer matter Is not satisfactory, nor bellcyed, and pain fully betrays their chief difference is only' In physique. We shall not bo surprised to learn when theso recent recommendations have become known, that our delegation are still register ing Mitchell's orders and ratifying ills contracts.

Congressman Tongue lias recom mended Rocky Hodgkin, son of As sistant Treasurer F.E.IIodgkin, for a cadetshlp at West Point. This "recommending" is a farce. Young Hodgkin barely passed his ex amlnatlon In the 8th grade of the Salem public schools. He will have to pass an examination much more severe to get Into West Point. The young man "recommended" from Salem for tho jNayal cadetshlp Is reported to have failed. When will this farce stop ? It is an injustice to the young man "recommended" through politi cal pressure. In other states an ex amining board Is appointed and the position is thrown open to all tho young men of the district. The one who stands highest Is recommended. That plan Is fair, just, legal, Ameri can. There Is no chance for the Salem hog to get In his vork. A BOOM FOR SALEM DAY. Paris, Sept. 21. A dispatch from San Sebastian to Lo Temps, this city, says that In his Interview yesterday with tho Duke of Teutan, Spanish minister for foreign affairs, United States Minister Woodford did not present any claim for Indemnity, but confined the interview to a statement of the great Injuries commerce and industry had suffered in the United States through a prolongation of tho Cuban war. General Woodford is said to have added that Secretary Sherman had desired him to declare to the Spanish government that It was evidently im possible for Spain to end the rebellion In a reasonable time, and, further, that if the war was continued, Cuba would be devastated and of no utility to Spain or to the Cubans. In conclu sion, the United States minister is reported to have Insisted courteously but firmly upon tho necessity of term inating the war, declaring If It were not terminated by the end of October the United Stato would feel justified In taking measures to secure tho Inde pendence of Cuba. The Dukoof Teu tan, according to a dispatch to Le Temps, wlitlo protesting against the alleged American "pretensions" said he would reply otllclally to tho United States minister when the Spanish court returns to Madrid. Not An Ultimatum . Washington, Sept. 21. It can bo stated In reference to tho Paris pub lication purporting to give the sub stance of General Woodford's commu nication to the Duke of Teutan, that there has been a misapprehension on the part of Temps' correspondent upon several points, notably in respect to an ultimatum, and tho setting of a time for the conclusion of tho war, no particular dato was mentioned as the time when tho Spanish court would return to Madrid from San Sebastian, and when consequently It might be In order to return an answer to the latess representations of the United States government through Mr. Woodford. It is declared at the stato depart ment that while Mr. Woodford did. according to tho original Idea of his Instructions, set out tho deep Interest the United States had In witnessing the cessation of the deplorable condl tlonsln Cuba, he did not deliver him self of an ultlmatum,but simply made a statement of our deep Interest In a settlement of the Cuban war, with a reasonable explanation for Interven ing in any manner at this time. Mr. Woodford's telegram regarding Ills conference with the Duke of Teutan Is now bjforo President Mc Klnley. Cause a Sensation. MAiMUD,Sept. 21. In official circles here the greatest 6ccrccy Is main tainted regarding the United States ultimatum, which is looked upon as bound to cause a great sensation In Europe and to havo the greatest con sequences for Spain. While not Intending it, it fs be lieved the action of the United States lias greatly facilitated the solution of , the mlnisteiial crisis, and there will be a reorganization of the conscr-, i vatlvas under General Azcarraga as ' nrumier. and f Don Francisco Sllvelin.

There will be a mass meeting of Sa lem business men and citizens at tho opera house Friday evening of this week, to consider u few propositions In connection with making "Salem Day" at the state fair a grand success. All are urged to bo present promptly at 8 o'clock. Don't be afraid of a collection as nothing Is wanted but good advice and a harmonious effort to make "Saiem uay tuc great evunu m me cash for Prunes fair. Prominent citizens will make Farmers, call at our office In tho old Bhort speeches, and an entertaining , Gray block, State street, and get our time will be had. Be sure to come C"sh prices for pmnes. out. Salem, Aug. 28. ' ' d&w'-tf JOURNAL "X-RAYS." It Is probably a fact that T. T.Gcer demanded and got ills pay In advance for tils campaign work. If ho did he had no "claim" on the Republican party, any more than the manager of a brass band who presented his bill und was paid. Geer is a whole brass band ns a campaign speaker, but if ho got his pay that ends it. That eminent Republican Mitchell organ, the Portland Sunday Mercury, says ho got his pay. If so he deserves neither sympathy nor office. Tom Tongue wasn't enough of an American to leave a cadetshlp to West Point open to all tho young men of this district. It wouldn't bo the Ca nadian style to give all an equal show you know. It Is an injustlco tocx pose a boy to expense and failure away from homo with a bogus con gressman's recommend. "Tho Capital Journal," dally and weekly, Is credited with tho largest circulation accorded any paper in Sa 1cm, In Marlon county, or in the First congressional district. Print ers Ink, July 28, '07. . That Sublimity road supervisor, who compelled the Catholic priest to work ills poll tax. probably wants to Improve his facilities for attending church. "But this Is the last year ho CAN stay here," is the only consolation some of Brother Grannls's people offer themselves. There are other good peoplo In Salem some would rejoice to know their limit was up for instance the X-Ray man. In spite of tho famines in India nnd Ireland, McKlnley wheat Is down to 75 cents at Salem. It Is an Imposition to send a boy down cast with a bogus graft on West Point.basedon a little Oregon political pull only to have him como back with a disappointment In his pocket. T. T. Gcer, Is not fit for Collector of tho Port of Portland. Ho may bo honest, but what ot that? Can ho round up a primary or heel up a con vention? Can ho vote for one man for senator while at tho same tlmo managing tho secret campaign for his opponent. If Geer had been In the legislature that McBrldo "hoodooed" he would have been voting right along for Dolph. Ho Is no such "talent" as Pattcrton, Brophy or Lotan. Of courso, there are still oceans of whisky in Skaguay, and in all Alaska. Steamboats refuse to haul grub to starving miners when they can get a cargo of bugjuice. We were told that when that giant Imported political Intellect Collector Ivy, of Alaska, got his feet well planted on the glaciers of that territory tho liquor traffic would vanish in tho name of McKlnley and rurcr morality. Have you noticed how tho morning paper has dropped its abuse of every body? Has Hon. I. L. Patterson pulled tho string? They liayo even let up on tho governor "As It were." "Wurstcrand wurster" Is what a German said about tho Chicago sausage-maker chopping up ills wife for bologna. But tho wurstmacher from Canyon City for governor would be still wurster. Score ono more for Major Ilog-kln. Another son has beo.i appointed cadet to West Point over tho heads of all Oregon boys. Common grocerm that can't get a monopoly of furnishing prison and asylum supplies have to mako their profits olf people. Tho others mako It oif the Insane and convicts. THE FINANCIAL NEWS Silver Scores a Sharp Ad vance in New York, ABOUT FRENCH BIMETALLISM London Times Declares Politics Is at the Bottom of It. London, Sept. 21 .-The Times, in an nrtlcle dealing with tho causo which led Franco to propose tho freo coinage of sllver.says that the French ambassador proposed 15J to 1 as tho ratio at which Frame would open her mints, and then proceeds to review tho bimetallic movement In France. It points out that in spite or protec tion, tho price of wheat continued to fall In France, until M. Mclln3, in 1895, in view of tho immense agricul tural demand, changed front and de cided that as protection had failed and a high prico for wheat was neces sary, bimetallism must be tried. The Times centiuues: "At tho conference in May Iu the prcsenco ot M. Loubet, and of M. Magnln, ho (M. Mcllncj'Said to Senator Wolcett: (Our support will not be wanting.' It must bo said that what the Times hinted at is absolutely correct. Politics lsat tho bottom of all this. II Is stated In the city that France Is not sorious, and that tho governor of tho bank Is awaro of this. Do not let us bo too suro In questioning tho statements and ayowals of leading French state ments; for, we shall bo nolthcr cour teous nor prudent in doing 80a and tripy oven bo mistaken in tho facts in the case." A Rise In Silver. New York, Sept. 20.- Silver scored another sharp recovery In Lonon of 5d. to 271d. The price In New York rose 1J cent over Monday's quotation, to 59J cents. These prices show gains oyer the low point of September 1, of 31 cents and 7J cents, respectively. The rise Is attributed to purchases for India account and to rumors in London that tho India council is buying for coinage. Tho conditional decision of the Bank of England to hold one-fifth of Its resorvo in silver also continues to Influence the market favorably. Colorado Bank Suspends. Rice, Colo., Sept. 21. The Bank of Rice haB closed Its doors, and tho fol lowing notico was pested: "This bank closed In voluntary liquidation by order of J. E McCluro, president. Depositors will bo paid in full and shortly. E. O. Chesebro, cashier. STATE NEWS. County Recorder Waters Is too modest. After six years In the re corder's office lie Is willing to bo county clerk four years more. There Is one thing all must confess; Tho Statesrrian'a pots always whip In every scrap they get Into. JJut this don't apply to the editor. Salem is too small a town to kick at tho Insurance trust. Having killed off tho only Oregon company, tho trust managers havo a right to bleed -ail small towns to mako up for losses by fires and competition in tho large. Having made Stato Superintendent Irwin turn over certain fees to tho state treasurer, tho noxt'questionls how to compel tho stato treasurer to turn them over to anybody, Sandy Olds, tho famous Portland bunco stcerer has gone to California. Tho Southern Pacific has abolished tho depositand robato system of sell ing mileage tickets. Tho Pendleton Roller Mills, wore destroyed by flro Sept. 20. Capacity of mill was 500 barrels dally.
