RUMORS OF WAR.

Matters centerlnS about the
New Orleans lynching and the
italian Malta took rather a sudden
and unexpected turn on the 31st.
With an official note Baron Fava
the Italian minister at Washing
ton declared to the secretary of
state that the United States gov
ernment, not having given assur-
ance that the murders of italian
subjects. acquitted by American
magistrates. and murdered in pris
on while under the immediate pro-
lection of the authorities of New
Orleans, would be brought to JUS
tice, the Italian government has
found itself under the very painful
necessity of showing openly its
dissatisfaction by recalling the
minister of his majesty from a
country where an Italian repre-
sentative is unable to obtain JUS
tice.
This action on the part Of Italy
is regarded by some as next to
declaration Of war with the
United States, while for the most
part the people treat the matter
lightly. While it is not impossible
that war will ensue, we are to un-
derstand that Italy means simply
what she says-that she withdrew
her minister in order to show
openly her dissatisfaction with our
methods of government. This ac-
ton even was hasty IN the light of
the fact that it is not yet known
that any of the Italians lynched
were subjects Of Italy, nor wheth-
er those participating would not
be punished. 1t would seem that
Italy demanded that Mr.. Blaine
give that country assurances which
he, in his official capacity, was un-
able to do. Mr.. Blaine is unable
to dictate to Louisiana what that
state shall do with its criminals,
much less to sentence them &C.
cording to the Italian idea of JUS
tice.
The indications of war with Italy
are not such as to give alarm, but
we are disposed to underate her as
an enemy. Italy is weak in fnan-
eial resources. She is in debt but
her indebtedness has been largely
contracted in the maintenance of
an army and in the construction of
a powerful navy. We are not to
forget that a mortgaged ironcladl
may be as destructive as one twice
paid for.
After all, little skirmish with
Italy might not be undesirable:
1t would probably be the means of
giving the United States navy,
and would possibly stop the Italian
immigration.

A prominent Southern paper
says: s'It is becoming every day
more apparent that the vast ma
jority of the negroes are not dis
posed to take an active part in
politics." The same may be said
of the Jews in Russia, and the
reasons in both cases are the same
are not allowed to.

THE excitement in Europe over
the Franco Russian alliance which
menances the Dreibund, as the al
lance of Germany, Austria and
Italy is called, has revived interest
in the armaments of these powers.
1t is estimated that Germany can
put into the field 2,233,95O men;
Austria, 1851. .13o; Italy, 1866,
404; making a total for the Drei-
bund of 5,33O,692 armed men.
To meet them France has $780,
900 men and Russia, 2,955,O0O,
making a total Of 6,705,0O0.
There is very little probability that
either of these nations could mob
olize the number of men which is
credited to it, or could maintain
them in the field if it had them
there. The figures are interesting,
however, because they show the
extent of European armaments
and afford a basis for estimating
upon what a colossal scale a gen
eral European war would be carri-
ed on if it should break out before
circumstances cauSa a diSarma-
ment of the nations.-San Jose
Mercury.

business hours. Another citizen,
always prominent in public affairs,
stated that he was ready at any
time to be one of twenty who
would subscribe $1,000 each to-
wards the bridge. $3.50 to $500
subscriptions are plentiful. All
it requires is united effort, a good
plan, and Corvallis will have a
bridge.
As in Portland Salem, and AL
bany, Corvallis also has it's princi-
pal business street adjacent to and
parallel with the Willamette river.
The opposite bank may never as
sumo the relative Importance Of
East Portland, but it is certain
that bridge would widely ex
tend the influence Of this business
street and the city. Let the COM
munity then, arouse itself and by
concentrated action bring about
this desirable result. Corvallis
needs no outside aid to make i'm
provements tending to her own ag-
grandisement. She rises superior
to the conditions surrounding her
and her prosperity is the sure IN
dex of her future greatness.

A POINTER FOR HARD TIMES.

The Way the Gallant Cobb Told a
Man to Raise Money.
ATLANTA, GA, June SIS. K. johnson,
white man, who escaped from Hall
county jail after an incarceration of five
months under a charge of forgery, was
arrested hero to-day. johnson has been at
large since the middle of April.
He charges Capt. W. A. Cobb, who
recently disappeared from Gainesville
under suspicious circumstances,
with having instigated the commission Of
bis crime. He says he went to Cobb to ne
gotiate q loan Of $500 The captain told him
that he would apply for the money, but
that it would take a week for the remit
tance to reach him. II johnson was in a
great hurry the thing for him to do was to
write out a note in his own favor and sign
thereto the name Of some responsible
moneyed man we'll known in the COM
munity and negotiate loan thereon. Be-
fore the paper came due the money sent
for would arrive, the note might be
taken up and not a soul would be the wiser.
johnson adopted his advice, but the money
Cobb was to furnish failed to arrive and
the forgery was discovered. johnson, of
course, believes himself to be the victim of
bad advice. but innocent Of any actual
wrong In his own person.

A NEaRo'S IDENTITY.

A Curious Case, In Which Many Wit

AUGUSTA, GA, June "A singular case
Of mistaken identity Is now being tried
under a writ Of habeas corpus before Ordi-
nary Walton. About ten years ago nine
negroes escaped from the penitentiary. All
were captured but one This one, Joe
Berry by name. is now believed to be under
arrest. He claims, however, that he is
not Joe Berry, but Berry Stone, and intro
duces a number of witnesses, white and
black, among them one claiming to be his
father. and all swearing that he is Berry
Stone, and that he was at work on a farm
at the time Joe Berry is said to have been
in the penitentiary. On the other hand
there are other negroes who swear
just as positively that the prisoner
is Joe Berry, that they served with him in
the penitentiary. and were with him when
he escaped and can't be mistaken. Some>
body is mistaken, though, and the question
lie which side.

RURAL VOICES IN THE SPRING.
What Arthur F. Rice Thinks of "Famil-
lar Rural Sounds"


lar Rural Sounds"
From Natures Realm.
Almost before the spring arrives, while
the snow lies In drifts along the fences, and
every hollow In the meadows is a grassy
lake, there comes a sound which makes us
stop and listen, and thrills US with a glad
surprise. It is the voice Of the bluebird,
the pioneer of the returning songsters. How
we welcome him. the pretty wanderer.

post along the cherries fence" Others may
sing more sweetly and wear more splendid
clothes, but he comes first and gets into
our hearts before his tardy followers ar

senger from God. and took his azure tint
from the infinite blue through which he
came. he could not be mora gladly received
or bring to US a purer pleasure. "Sweet
never be less. and may our northern winds
ever blow gently upon thee.
Soon our ears are greeted with the full
chorus of bird voices. From the cool and
shady recesses of the forest, where he loves
to sing, comes the thrilling music of the
wood thrush, and after each April shower
the jubilant catbird relieves its soul
OF its burden OF song. From the
remote thlcket issues the cuckoo's SOFT PEN
etratlng croak, and the boom of the night
hawk is heard in the land. High in air
the 'sky-swuugn hawk utters his piercing
cry, and ripping over the fields comes the
long, melodious call Of the yellow hammer.
Distance softens harsh sounds into har-
mony, and the barking of dogs and the
tinkling Of the COW bells far within the
wood is music to the ear. Even the crick
cts chirp in harmony, and what would 9th
erwise be a blur of sound becomes a ryth-
mical ticking that soothes rather than dis
turbs. Sugar is not so sweet to the palate
as sound to healthy ear" and he who is
quickest to discern and interpret it, who
loves the song of the bobolink, the wild
cackle of the great black woodpecker and
the hum of the bees among the apple bios

sion OF sounds in nature, one fading into
another as time goes on. After the peep OF
the hyla comes the trump of the bullfrog,
and later on the trill of the summer toad.
II our bearing were keen enough we could
perhaps have heard the lisp Of the polywog
hfst OF them all. The z-Z-xing of the locust,
with its crescendo and dininuendo, precedes
the din OF the August piper, while that in
turn is followed by the chirp of the cricket,
and. last of all, the rasp of the katydid.

ATLANTA, GA, June 3.-Three more

several thousand dollars will be immedi-

just now in matters of city government.
One hesitates, however, to compare it with
that of 1885, which brought on the first
prohibition election, or of 1872, when the

REFUSED PROTECTION.
The neighbor locked the door and refused
her admission. In the meantime the hus-
band kept up his pursuit and was gaining
ground, firing a shot at her as she ran
through the yard. She ran to another part
Of the house and succeeded in effectirg an

took effect, killing the woman dead In her
tracks. Mr.. Fairborn, who happened to be

in wrestling the Winchester from him after
a desperate struggle.
THE SUICIDE.
Cleghorn then drew a revolver and told
Fairborn not to interfere or he would be
treated to dose of lead. On looking at
bis murdered wife and fully realizing the
atrociousness of his crime he piteously
begged Fairborn to end his miserable ex-
istence with the same Winchester with
which he had inflicted the death wounds

volver to his temple and sent ball crash
ing through his own brain, killing himself

The building is owned jointly by the county

small to accom- modate the county and city
courts and officials. The matter was re-
ferred to a special committee, and a favor
able report is expected
