The Boast of Gordon.

LONDON, March ?.-Last October the Mahdj
sent an autograph letter to Gen. Gordon ex-
ulting over the loss of Col. Stewards steamer
and the murder of that officer and his COM
panions. In proof of the knowledge that
disaster had overtaken Stewart he inclosed
copies Of documents found on the steamer,
and an account showing the state of muni.
tions and supplies at Khartoum at the
time of Stewards departure. By the mes
senger who brought the letter Gen. Gordon
sent back a defiant reply to the Mahdi He
said: ~ do not care how many men you
killed or what success you gained. 1t makes
no difference to me-" After more in the
same vein, he concluded with: ado not care
what forces you have. am made Of iron

WASHINGTON CITY, March AT a number
of points along Mr.. Hendricks route to the

recent action af the house, struck out the
clause providing for the suspension of silver
dollar coinage Pension bills then engaged

The Condition of Congressional Business.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 2.-There is a
good deal of anxiety under the calm enterior
on the part of members of both branches
OF congress regarding the prospects Of
an extra Sc sion. Ever since the re-
fusal by the house to pass the silver
suspension proposition, it has been believed
the danger of an extra session was past It
now comes to the surface, however, that the
danger is by no means averted. There has
been but one of the appropriation bills yet
signed. Thirteen have passed the house
and six the senate. There are yet, there
fore eight to be acted on by the
senate. But this is not the worst. OF
those passed by the senate three con.
tain legislation that the house conferees will
positively refuse to agree to in conference.
while the senate conferees and the senate
itself is determined not to recele from its
position. One of these is the subsidy clause
in the postoftice bill; another is the So, ,000,
QUO clause in the navy bill for completing
the monitors, and the other is one in the
Indian bill,

The House Foreign Affairs Committee Re.
pudiates Arthur's Foreign Policy.
| WAsHINGToN CITY, March 2.-The house
committee on foreign affairs by majority
vote Saturday morning adopted the follow
ing resolution, submitted by Mr.. Phelps, on
the Congo vuestion:
Resolved, That no prospect of commercial
advantage warrants departure from th2
traditional policy of this government which
forbids all entangling alliances with the ma
tions of the world. and that the participation
of the delegates of the United States in the
sO-called Congo conferen enre-while carefully
guarded, as your committee is informed, in
the purpose to confine their powers to the
consideration of commercial interests ex-
clusively-is unfortunate so far as tits de-
parture from the policy which forbids the
government of the United States to partici-
pate in any political combination or move
nlent outside of the American continent.
The resolution submitted by Belmont,
which has been fully alluded to in the
United Press dispatches heretofore, will, it
is said, be supported by several members Of
the committee and should the matter come
up In the house lively debate is promised
Belmont's resolution in its full text is as
follows
Resolved, that it Is now, as it has ever
been, the traditional, established, and ap-
proved policy of the people of these United
States to obtain Q due consideration Of their
own rights by friendly behavior, and by q
just regard for the rights Of other nat'~-'
and, by. forming entanrii"- us,
ences with NJ ., political alli-
go - .4atlon to preserve and pro
.Iluue peace, amity and commerce with all
nations; that these United States,
having long ago announced their purpose
and policy to hold aloof American states
and territory from European aggrandize-
ment and ambition; that possessing as these
United States already do the chief habitable
and temperate parts of the mort hern cont.
nent between the Atlantic and Pacific seas,
and desiring no conquests but those of peace
and no territorial aggrandizsment
upon other continents whether by
diplomacy or war, the house of repre-
sentatives, heedful of the admonitions
OF Gen. Washington, and faithful to that
neutral policy of separation and peace which
our situation and the wisdom of a free peo-
pie have hitherto enabled us to maintain, dc
hereby explicitly record their dissent from
the act of the president of the United States
in accepting the invitation of Germany and
France to participate in the international
conference at Berlin, instead of declining
the same as tending to a reversal of our
trad itional, established and approved foreign

Aneodo.e of Andre~ johnson.

Just preceding the war;" said a
Tennessee man, "Andrew Johnson had
many enemies in Tennessee, and once
when he was billed for an evening
speech at Nashville, the report was
spread that if he dared to speak he
would be either mobbed or egged, and
perhaps assassinated. When the hour
Tor assembling came the house was al
ready thronged and Andy Johnson was
on the platform. He promptly arose,
and going to the front took pistol
from his pocket and cooked it. He
then opened the meeting by saying !:
Gentlemen and felow-citizens 1t is
meet that when free men assembled for
discuss' n of important business inte-
rests everything should be done de-
Gently and in order. Now, l have
been informed that part of the pro-
ceedings on the present occasion is the
ASSASSINATION of the individual address
ing you.
"Here he grasped the pistol firmly
with his right hand, threw open his
coat with his left, and continued: Il
propose that this little matter be the
first business taken up. If any man
comes here tonight for that purpose
let him not speak, but shoot.
CAT this there was pause, and no
one replied. 'Ah,' said Mr.. Johnson,
i see have been misinformed. l will
proceed with the meeting.

The Four Great Mosescs.


Moses, the son Amram, he who
brought the children of Israel out oil
Egypt, who broke the chains Of slavery,
our great law-giver, was our first great
Moses.
Moses ben Mainman, known as Mai
monides, who lived in the twelfth cen
tury, scientific investigator, a writer of
philosophic works, student OF medi-
cine, and rich in Talmudical learning,
he was our second great Moses.
Moses Mendelsson, born in 1920, a
modern thinker, and pursucr of the
philosophy of the former, who was full
of Jewish piety, and yet succeeded to
raise the social elevation of his Jewish
brethren, he was our third great Moses.
Moses Monteiiore, whose death we
now mourn, who was principally known
for his unbounded love for all man
kind, but most particularly for his un-
limited philanthropy toward his co-reli
gionsts he put into practice the teach
ings of his three great predecessors, and
was our fourth great Moses. -He6,ea0

rRACTIcAl ELEorIoNEERING.

Every vote drawn from the support
of the present Administration at the
coming election, is vote secured for
the cause of future good Government.
The people who pay the bulk of the taxes
are tired of the rule and no-policy of
the present Government. 1t is useless
to discuss abstract principles of right
and justice with corrupt Administra-
ton, which fights with the single aim
Of retaining itself in power What is
needed in the present campaign is prac-
teal campaign work, which will carry
the war into The very camp of those
who are opposed to the cause of the
taxpayers. 1t will be futile to appeal
to the honor Of those in power, and
beseech them to right the wrongs they
have committed against the country, or
to expect them to perform duties which
they have persistently neglected in the
past. Ii is the old story Of those who
bear the heat and burden of the day,
fighting after working hours for their
inalienable political rights.
Suppose that in the present political
fight, the abstract principles of right and
justice be set forth against the unscrup-
ulous Vaccinations of the Government
party, which uses everything from a
royal decoration TO bottle OF gin to
gain its ends Suppose that the rights
of taxpayers and the mal-administra
ton of the present officials be merely
set forth in the columns of English
newspapers, which do not reach the
native voters, or which, reaching them,
they cannot read, while personal cleo
tioneering is passed by. The result
will inevitably be, at least until the
cumulative force of political wrong at
last breaks through the barriers it has
bnildsd around itself, that the will of
the people will be defeated, and the
lnal-administration Of the Kingdom will
continue.
The more intelligent native voters
are already becoming dissatisfied with
the present administration of the King
dom's affairs The native newspapers
which oppose the present Administra-
tion, have brought this about. The
times are now ripening for the tax
payers to draw votes from the native
population, not to assist the cause of
the Opposition as mere party, but to

CRATER LAKE.
A Wonderf,a Natural Curiosity In klamath
ConnfU, Or.


A Wonderful Natural Curiosity In klamath
Connty, Or.
There can scarcely be as great a
natural wonder within civilization, and
at the same time so little known, close
at hand, as Crater Lake. Being one
the most remarkable freaks of nature,
it lies directly within our midst, and
yet, ! think it is safe to say the people
Of Oregon generally are utterly ignorant
OF its very existence. Situated twenty
two miles west of north of Fort Klam-
ath, in Klamath county, directly on the
summit of the Cascade Mountains, and
about ninety miles east of Medtord, il
is easily accessible, there being good
mountain road to the very top Of the
walls surrounding it and fine camping
grounds about half mile distant. The
lake itself is about six by eight miles in
diameter, and ranges from east of north
to west of south. The surface of the
water is six thousand three hundred
feet above sea level, and is completely
surrounded by cliffs, or walls, from one
thousand to nearly three thousand feet
high, which are scantily covered with
lir trees. To the southwest is circu-
lar island, which our party named Wiz
ard Island 1t is six hundred feet high
and in the top is circular hole, or ex-
tinct crater, four hundred and seventy
five feet in diameter, named by us the
Witch's Cauldron. The base of the
island is covered with very heavy and
hard rocks, over which scarcely score
of human feet have trod. Further up are
deep beds Of ashes and cinders, giving
evidence of the most intense heat in
days gone by. Within the crater, as
without, the surface is entirely covered
with volcanic rocks, but here it forms
one Of the hottest places on clear day
in August it has ever been my lot to
witness. Ninety feet below the craters
rim not breath of air can penetrate,
while the sun beats down upon the
rocky surface and reflects its rays from
ten thousand upturned stones, forming
a very furnace, and heating it beyond
all endurance nevertheless, we sat
within, at the lowest Point, and partook
of our Monday meal with one hand,
while with the other hand great drops
of sweat were brushed from our brows.
We took with us from Portland a
light canoe, which was lowered to the
lake by the aid of ropes, and by means
of which we were enabled to reach
Wizard Island, and see the surroundings
from point of observation seldom
attained by visitors. We we're also well
paid for the trouble and expense, for
the reason that while the view from the
shore is grand beyond description, that
obtained from the lake is remarkable,
and inspires one with feelings of awe
and awakens depth of appreciation
for the sublime unequaled P0ytlana
Standard.
