JOHNSON & Co.j 120 State street. constitutions of Cuba and Porto Rice agree with those colonial constitu tions that start from self-government as the capital ideal sett-leglslatlon, responsible to the government; supre macy of the governor who. oltlmr un. 1 der that name or that of viceroy, sunn represent ine mother country, and who shall choose the ministers who shall be the executlye in that colony. Starting from the abovo basis, tho project of the Spanish government coutalns the lirst partition of those matters and concerns that belong to the imperial parliament, that is to the national cortcs. The partition is founded on a careful discrimination between jwliut Interests the Islands themselves have in a local sense and what is of national importance. The project in operation will inter pret lu the most generous manner,the phrase "local Interests" since it will not only grant to the colonies com plete control ,of all that relates to education, chanty, etc., but It also Intrusts to representatives of tho local government the right of draw ing upon their customs tariff without any (limitations beyond those mutually arranged. With the metropolis to co-ordinate In their respective mercantile and commercial Interests, the above func tions will be performed by an Insular chamber totally electoral In nature without restriction as to subsequent subdivision Into two similar chambers that Is, the house of representatives and the member of this parllmcnt shall be elected by the same suffrage system as that which regulates the election In the peninsula, The same legislative body shall represent Cuba In the Imperial parliament, only this assembly has been constituted with the goernor-general as the rcprcsent- atlvc of tho central power. It shall choose the ministers who are to be the executive body rcsponslllo to tho In sular parliament, thus completing the reorganization of tho parliament as Its government, and endowing It with that deureo of rcsDonslbillty char acteristic of every colony administered on the principles of self-government. The ministers shall be responsible to tho colonial parliament and every enactment of tho governor-general, as representative of the executive power in all that touches the local government shall be administered In the council. Of these ministerial functions re served to the metropolis aie: First, those that concern Interna tional relations; second, military and naval matters; third, organization of the law courts; fourth, those deposi tions that under the name of natron- age really regulate relations between the church and state. At the same time, the new constitu tion shall grant to tho Cuban people the ust of and the protection afforded by the civil and political tloncd by the Spanish constitution In such manner as shall obtain in all its integrity In the colonics, while beside there shall be established as' In tho United States such necessary buSluess restrictions as will prevent tho colon ial parliament from lessening, closing or delimitating the rights of citizen ship that are set forth In tho national constitution. Tho constitutional conservative party while condemning legal action has decided to constitutionally opposo the granting of autonomous govern ment to Cuba. New Secretary of Cuba. New Yokk, Oct. 28. A dispatch to tho Herald from Philadelphia says: Dr. Jose Congosto, Spanish consul here, who has just been appointed secretary-general of Cuba says: "A good doctor, you know, when called in to take charge of a case of which another doctor lias made n fail ure, ignores the former mode of treat ment and adopts one of Ins own. This will be my method of administering the olllcc. Tho governing factor In my policy shall bo liberality and fair ness toward every one. All the Infor mation which I possess which can be made public will be at the disposal of the representatives of American news papers." No Compromise, New York, Oct, 23. -Thomas Es trada Palma, the Cuban delegate to the United States, when asked his opinion of tho Cuban reforms proposed by tue spamsu ministry, saiu WASHINGTON SLUSH, Senator G.

THE SIMMONS ESTATE. tll Hopes to Have Them Made Before Congress Assembles, Washington, Oct. 28 Senator Mc Bride had a long conference with tho president yesterday concerning over Oregon appointments.

Tho opposl- i tlon to the slate which tho dclcga- . tlon lias recommended seems to bo centered on Hall, but Senator Mc Bride evidently thluks thlsopjiosltlon will not be successful, as ho Intends leaving for New York in n day or two and going thence to St. Paul. There will bo no recommendation for collector of customs to succeed Black until tho president requests the delegation to make one. Tho gold democrats of Oregon are making quite a stand to have Black retained. No recommendation has been mado for collector of Internal revenue, but the delegation will select an Oregon man, and let him tnko chances with the Washington man Hint will bo recommended by Senator Wilson. It Is not believed that Colonel Weldlcr, of whom Wilson has spoken In kindly terms, will bo selected by tho Oregon delegation. Rivers and Harbors. Washington, Oct. 28. Tho report of the chief of engineers of tho army is always of interest on account of the estimates for rivers and harbors, and also on account of what Is said about the project In different states. It Is the olllcial pronouncement upon these Improvements. The estimates, "As the representative of the Cuban j of course, wlille Interesting, aro not nrovls dnal government. 1 am in a position to state most emphatically that the Cubans in arms will enter Into no compromise with Spain. The Cubans aro fighting for absolute independence and they will entertain no peace proposals from tho Spanish government -based on anything but absolute Independence. The Cubans are firmly determined to c-irry on the struggle until their pur pose Is accomplished, and they will listen to no proposition acknowledg ing Spanish authority over Cuba. Cubans will never accept autonomy, no matter how ample, solution of their struggle for independence. The Cnban problem must be settled this time once for all." A mass meeting of Cubans will bo held in Now York soon to volco oppo sition to.the Spanish proposals """4" ANKRUPT SALE ! Corner State and Commercial Sts.

Congress usually appro priates about 30 per cent of the esti mates of the engineers, Tho coming session may cut far below that. Such a cut will not seriously Interfere with Oregon Improvements because thoy are generally well under way. The estimates have already been published but t hero aro other facts In tho report of general Interest. In tho river and harbor act ut 1890 was un item which Indicated that something wus to be dono at Port Or ford, but tho report shows that there Is still an unexpended balance of $140 858.52. This will be reduced some what by a survey which has been or dered with an estimate of tho cost of the Improvement and Importanco to shipping and commerce. ThoYuquInu Bay project gets a black eye In the report. After recit ing tho proposed project, tho gcnoral says; 'Work under tho extended project, or the making of a continuing con tract for this work, lias not yet been approved by the secretary of war, and no appropriation was made for this work by tho sundry civil act of Juno 4, 1807. Therefore no estimate Is pre sen ted for this work for the year end ing Juno 30, 1809. r,Tlio amount of freight received and shipped from Yaqulna bay In tho calendar year 1890 Is reported as 17,883 tons, the rccclps consisting principally of general merchandise and salt, and the shipments of grain, (lour, potatoes building Btonc, cooperage, and cord wood. This Is a decrease of 7000 tons from previous calendar year." The commerce noted Is not likely to hurry the secretary In approving a project for the Improvement, Of tho Ooqulllo river Improvement the report sayBj Up to Juno30 1800, tho sum of $111,102 09 had been expended on nils' Improvement, and $0883.00 for imag ing on tnc upcr river, making the total expenditure $148,010 59. 'Tho result was to securo a com paratively stable channel across tho bar. Tills channel had at times a depth of from 8 to 19 feet, but was subject to very considerable shoaling from the effort of winds and tides, having sometimes as ltttlo as four or live fcot. "On Juno 30, 1800, tho north jetty was 610 feet long, and tho south Jetty 2110J feet long. The result was to se cure a straight channel acrosH the bar varying from four to ten feet deep "The traffic on this river for the calendar year 1890 is reported as 2l,i 100 tons. Tho receipts cannUt prlnj clpally of general merchandise, ma chinery, and building material; the Warren Simmons, the Administrator Seeks to Have His Claim Paid. Warren Simmons, administrator of of the estate of Asa B. Simmons, de ceased, recently filed In probata court a petition for order authorizing htm, as administrator to dispose of 100 acres of land belonging to tho estato that claims against tho estate might bo paid. Tuesday, October 20, was tinned as tho day for final hearing of tho peti tion. On that day Attorney Tilmon Ford appeared In behalf of tho widow, Mrs. Vina Simmons and three of the minor heirs, whoso Interests he had been engaged to protect. The widow and tho minor heirs of tho estate wished to prevent the payment of tho claim of the administrator and inci dentally to defeat the petition for the order for tho sale of tho real estate. , It was first necessary to establish tho right of tho administrator's claim and with this end in view the case be gan before Judgo G. P. Terrell at 10 a. m. Tuesday. Tho taking of testi mony was not complotcd until this forenoon, when tho closing arguments wore begun, tho attorney for the widow not concluding his argument until ubout 2 o'clock In tho afternoon. II. (J. Bigger appeared for tho admin istrator. From the testimony introduced It appears that tho bill of "Warren Sim mons, tho administrator for $1000, is ubout twenty years old and Is alleged to bo duo for the erection of a house, barn, hop-house and some small out buildings. Tho testimony also showed that tho book In which Warren Simmons kept an account of his dealings with the deceased was minus ubout twenty seven leaves. At press hour tho closing urguments had not been completed. GYPSY GIRL FOUND. She Relates An Interesting Story To the Local Police Officers.

The attorney-general has not yet decided whether the secretary of state should pay tho members of tho last legislative assembly and their clerijs and other employees. It is rumored that the attorney-general will dccldo adversely but nothing definite is yet given out. Tho state Insane asylum, state pen itentiary and tho state reform school are now running as well as If the leg islature had appropriated for their necessary expenses. One thing thq taxpayer has gained Is that while ho has to pay eight per cent In addition to his taxes he docs not have to pay for extravagant Improvements, new buildings etc. at the different Institu tions. Under tho present system war rants are only Issued for necessary ex penses and such Improvements as aro absolutely necessary to carry on the Institutions. Appropriations for Im provements were asked for from tho legislature for nearly every institu tion but tho failure of tho legislature knocked them out and the now system ordered by tho supreme court decision only contemplates tho paying out tho state money for necessary expenses and actually needed improvements. Mr. J. E. Hyde, Baker City, received a notarial commission form tho depart ment of State today. People who have furnished supplies to the Stnto Institute for tho Blind, better known as tho State Blind School havo not yet received warrants for their claims against tho State. Tho teachers and employes of tho school are also anxious to get their warrants. An Inquiry Into tho trouble brought forth tho fact that tho law relating to tho maintenance of tho school Is somewhat lndotlnlto and tho Secretary of Stato, proceed ing In his usual careful manner, hesi tated to druw warrants until It was definitely decided by tho Attorney General whether such warrants could bo legally drawn under tho laws as construed and regulated by tho recent Supremo court decision.
