WASHINGTON, Jan. 9, 1915.
Fifty Four Forty, and the 1icsire Months Notice
Speech of Mr.. Giles-Magnifeentiy respiedent sf-
fort Of Mr.. Lepin-4Anaiysis Of his Plan Of Opera
fions, as understood, &c. &c.
Two speeches to-day in the House the Oregon
question, by Mr.. Giles, OF Maryland, and Mr.. Levin.
OF Philadelphia both In favor OF the giving the twelve
m onths' notification. Mr. Giles was, perhaps, too
methodical-too dellbera,e-ioo studied, for much
effect before the House. His speech will tell better
upon paper. Mr. Levin magnificent-now he
was Swimming along among the prairies-now soar
ING alot into the clouds, bearing with him the aroma
and the majesty OF a turkey-buzzard as he sails
abort his mountain clid, shutting with the morning
air, the grateful efiuva OF decayng carcass TWEEN
~ miles TO the windward. From all that we are
enabled to digest OF the systematically grandlloquent
effort OF Mr. Levin the following is his plan of ope
rations in regard to Oregon,-
I. To give the twelve months notice
4 To expel the Hudsons Bay Company and occupy
In tho event Of war to enlist all the Irish asd Dutch.
In the army and navy In order to have them Killed ON
4 The Japanese and chinamen to be in,erdicsd from
settling within the Oregon territory, MOUNTAINEERING
the benevolent suggestions OF the Chairman on Foreign
Affairs to the contrary.
to be considered unless they have Ia their
position cross of the Ab rhymes,
dams supply Of dogsoup and roots TO the army Of
occupation, until the completion of whitneys railroad
Sucn llue Oh inter-
communication, Of hog and hommany.
T. line OF forts to be erected all round the territory
to keep out the pesent foreigners to be paid for
funds collected from tax TO be levied on pauper
importatons into the Atlantic cities.
The army OF occupation TO be constituted of Irish
In the prospect of their being starved to death
In the event Of the undispued possession OF the
territory. after the lapse OF year two the remnant
Of the army of occupation to be expelled.
10. No foreign goods to be admitted into the ports Of
Oregon
II. No exports to be made to fore 'gn countries.
II. The English language to be abolished.
H. MI Levin to be commssariat Of the dog-sou de.
partment
As we were in the Congressional Library during
the remarks OF Mr.. Levin, we caught but imper-
fscty their DRIFT and substance; but we suspect that
the aforesaid thirteen propositions his plan OF
operations TO a hair.
r. M. T. Hunter, Of Va has the floor for to-ynor-
row, and we may expect 10 hear a strong and sensi
bic discourse against the war policy.
Ia our next regular dissertation upon this subject
we shall indulge in a grand commercial review of
the question OF the probable commercial argument
we may expect 10 hear from Mr.. Allen of the
vews OF President Polk, in some old speeches upon
the Oregon controversy, and perhaps letter from
Beau hickman may be introduced.
For the present, let this suffice
Respectfully, THE DocroR.
We understand Mr. Levin thinks the Dutch would
be better adapted for the navy as they are
shorter OF stature than the Irsh generally and better
fitted therefore to between decks Moreover on
ship board they will have less chance to show the white
feather
