FISH AT THE FAIR.
State Of Washington Cannot
Borrow Specimens.
FORSYTH NOT YET CONFIRMED.
CaIifornia's Quarrels Likely to Lose That
turist-Other Appointments.

PUYALLUp, July 10. Especial - Executive
Commissioner Meeker, OF the Worlds fair COM
mission, has received letter from the Hon
Marshall Mcdonald, United states fish commits
sioner, in reply TO Mr.. Meeker's inquiry as 20
whether this state could make any loans OF
specimens taken in the waters Of Washington,
wherein he Is informed that no loans can Do
made for the reason that the fish commission
proposes to show an illustrative series OF the
marine animals OF the United States NJ the
Columbian exposition. This, the commissioner
says, will draw so heavily upon the resources OF
the collection of the general government tnaI u
viii prevent the supplying OF material 70 the
several states II 10 proposed 10 illustrate nsh
by living specimens, by casts, by alcoholic
specsmeus. by coiored sketches and BY photo
graphs. and in some cases the stuffed skins of
the lsrger species II will, therefore, be neces-
sary for the state 10 secure Its specimens for ex
hibition through private individuals and
authorized collectors.
Mr. Mcdonald has suggested that probably
Captain J. w. Collins, who il on the board of
control Of government exhibits, may be able TO
give some information which will be useful in
securing some varieties and Mr.. Meeker is now
in communication with that officer.
The question Of q creditable fish display, Mr..
Meeker says, is the most bewildering of the
multiplicity of pulling questions that have
thus far arisen. Very few marine specimens
have been collected from the waters of this
state, except those in the possession OF the gen.
eraI government, and the only practicable way
which now seems feasible is TO place some COM
petent person in charge Of the work.

SPAIN AND CUBA.
The Mother Country Gnawing ut the
Vita1s of Her Colony.

Frank A. Burr in July Lippincott's.
''Is there any more red on the bone2"
This is the question that Spain is asking,
as it takes fresh grip on Cuba for its last
gnaw at her vitals. Spain has bled this
wonderful island so long and to such pur-
pose that it is not singular that it stops at
this critical moment to inquire if
the limit has really been reached,
whether the bone, rich as it is, is
white instead of red from too much suck
ing. 1t answers its own inquiry when it
starts IN now to play one more menace
against the Cubans and indirectly against
the United States. 1t is too late for it to
hurt Cuoa much, for the game of intimida-
fast approaching this, one of the richest
undeveioped countries under the sun.
Coming to Cuba fresh from the United
States, all these things are readily appar-
ent to me. Whatever concessions Spain
may have made, or contemplates making
new treaty, do not count to her for much.
They may postpone the inevitable: Spain
may get few more chances at the pro-
ducts of these half-tilled Cuban acres and
at the pockets of these misgoverned
people, before both acres and their
cuitivators become part of our country,
to which By nature they belong For
the first time in the history of this island.
Spaniards and Cubans are joining hands
for the new dispensation. Only DELAY is
In IL. The sentiment and interests of all
those who have the material welfare of
Cuba at heart are with the United States.
Spain is not ignorant of these facts. and
that il now does business with the New
World upon broader lines than heretofore
is only because it foresees the certainty of
its losing this, the greatest of all its pos
sessions in the seas.
Since the controversy over reciprocity
with US began, 5000 Spanish soldiers have
been ordered here from Madrid, and have
already arrived. This bluff does not
mean much, except IS an evidence to all
Cubsns that the mother country is for the
time being to tighten its hold on the island
with more bayonets. The two Spanish
men-of-war which brought fresh troops
here are at anchor in the harbor, and the
recruits are putting on new uniforms.
Soon these men will be food for the yellow
fever and other epidemic diseases. Not
half OF them will ever return TO their
homes. Their lives will be given up as
the price of their devotion to Spain
and their hatred of the CubanS. For this
harvest of death and military brag the peo-
pie of this island will have 10 pay, and the
awful debt multiplies every year until for
bearanee will soon die. The record is a
CHASTITY one
within few years" said a native TO
me the other day, q gentleman of means
and character, "Spain has put on this is
land st different times Do. 600 OF its regular
troops. Many thousand are still here as A

The Prince of Baccarat.
Harper's Weekly.

The official position of the Prince Of
Wales is most trying. He is strictly .
mere fgurehead. But as an Englishman,
at least in his representative character, he
might be supposed to have some pride in
being a fitting hgurehead for great ma
ton. He might desire, at least, to win for
himself the title which the laureate APP
piled to his father-"blameless." He
might resolve that if England made
him the crowned head of the en-
pire, he would not make England ashamed.
He might strengthen the system of which
he is the nominal chief by an honorable
and respectable life. 1t is hardly sup
possible that if he had accurately compre-
hended the situation in which he stood he
could have appeared every day in court.
Ii will be said, of course, that q great
fuss is made about a game of cards,
which is q very usual incident, and
that it may be the misfortune of any
innocent player to be at table with a cheat.
If that were all, there would be little to
say. But great deal is said. and much
more is thought, because it is not all. The
other day there was some absurd conduct
reported in the Illinois legislature. 1t was
discreditable, and the offending Legislators
may be dismissed at the polls. But when
your future king discredits himself and the
kingdom, he cannot be dismissed at the
polls.

BIG CAVE IN OREGON.
Marvellous Chambers Within a
Limestone Mountain.
PALACES BUILT BY NO HAND.
Magnificent Halls and Passages Carved
by Nasure-A Lake and . WATERFALL
Grottoes Fit for Gods.

SAN Francisco, July 10.-The Examiner
tomorrow morning viii announce the dis
covery of enormous caverns in Josephine
county, Oregon. about twelve miles north
of the California line and about forty
miles from the coast. The Examiners ex-
pIoring party, which visited the caverns,
reached them by way of Grants Pass, Or,
on the line of the Oregon & California
branch of the Southern Pacific. From there
the party travelled thirty miles by stage to
Kerby, and then proceeded into the
mountains with pack trains and horses.
Two openings to the cave were discovered.
These openings look like small assures in
a great limestone bluff. This limestone ex-
tends for miles and appears massive and
solid outside. but is honeycombed
within with cracks and crevasses, which
extend for miles without any apparent
order or system. Many of the passages
within the cave are described as of great
beauty, containing in them semi-trans-
parent stalactites, giant milkwhite pill ars,
and pools and streams of pure, clear
water. A creek flows from the
main opening of the cave, and it
was here that the party entered. They
spent week in exploring the cave and
found innumerable passages and cham
bers, and several miles from the entrance
they discovered a small lake of clear water
and a waterfall thirty feet high.
All kinds of grotesque figures
were found in the various cham
bers. A large number of flash
light photographs were taken. The only
sign of any animal life was found short
distance from the entrance, where a few
bones indicated that bears had used it for
lair and carried their prey there. Itwas
estimated that the main body of the cave
was 1,5OO feet from the surface of the
mountain, and the cavern itself appeared
fully as large as the Mammoth cave, in
