use OF search Lights.

WAsHINGTos, June 13.-One of the
most effective means of protecting ship
in these days of torpedos, is the group
ing together of number of stationary
search lights, each illuminating its own
section SO that the ship is surrounded by
an unbroken circle of light. 1t is to be
adopted in the new American warships.
This has been suggested by very pro-
nounced defect in the usual search light
practice. In order to afford sufficient
time for careful examination of the
waters surface at points removed from
the ship, the beam of light must be re-
volved very slowly, and hence during a
great portion of the time any particu-
lar section of the water is left in dark
ness. As it takes only five minutes for
a torpedo boat to run distance. of two
miles, it will be seen that the condi-
tions are all in favor of the attacking
force. Before the revolution of the
search light is completed there is plenty
of time for the torpedo boat to run up
and discharge her deadly weapons.

Letting oregon Down. Easy.

CHICAGO, June 13.-According to an
order issued from Director Davis, Satur-,
day was the limit of time for state COM
missions to accept sites and present
plans for their state worlds fair build
ings. In some cases the recent organi-
zation of the commission has rendered
impossible literal compliance with the
order, but up to the close of business at
5 O'Clock thirty-four states were in line.
One-hah of the states beginning with
the letter o, (Ohio,) is included in the
list. California and Washington, of the
Pacific coast states, are also included.
Idaho is ready to go ahead with work on
its state headquarters as soon as some
little objection to the site assigned can
be remedied. Altogether the showing
is taken to indicate widespread interest
in the state branch of exposition work.

CHICAGO, June 13.-New York city
has set precedent to combat the vices
of the Chinese criminal element, which
must sooner or later be considered else
where. This crusade has been started
by labor organizations, and it is their
purpose to arouse against the Mongolian
such cyclone of public hatred as will
drive him from the town. At the bot
tom of the movement is the well-known
leader of the Women's National League,
and.it is she who has brought the mat
ter before the Central labor union, and
that organization has enlisted as coad-
tutors many prominent church people
and men and women who take to them
selves the duty of reforming the wicked
of Gotham. All these elements of re-
form are consolidated under the New
York anti-Chinese League. The city
viii be divided into inspection districts
corresponding to assembly districts, and
to each there will be assigned three in
spectors, to be known as vigilance
committee. 1t is to be the duty of each
committee to watch the Chinese in it's
respective district, and ascertain to what
extent they are corrupting youth. and to
ferret out the opium joints, and learn
where opium is being vended. They are
to report each week to the executive
committee of the league, who will re-
duce the information to legal form, and
prepare affidayits setting forth specific
charges against the Chinese. 1t is in
tended to keep up this work for three
months, at the end of which time proper
steps will be taken to bring the matter
before the local authorities.

CERRYMANDER CRAZE.
Very Popular Style This Year for Pre-
serving Districts.
NEW YORK, MISSOURI AND OHIO.
A Refined System of Political Theft on
Both Party Sides.
omKrnrse-JrnEx MIGHT ADMIRE
Dashing and Defiant Raids Upon the
Electors Privileges in Certain
States.

WAsHINGroN, June 13.-The gerry
mander was never apparently more pop
ular than it is this year. In Missouri
the democrats applied it to the reap
portionment of the state into congress
sional districts with sweet disregard
for decency and common fairness. A
few weeks later the republicans of Ohio
followed the Missouri example and pro-
vided for the ruthless disfranchisement
of democrats. Although the latter IN
the coming election are reasonably GER
tain to poll about half of the total vote
they will probably elect less than third
of the congressional delegation from that
state. The republicans, polling sub
stantially the other half of the total vote,
will get the rest. New York then fell
victim to this refined system of political
theft. Her democratic legislature
mapped out a plan of electoral brigand-
age which the late Mr.. Gerry, were he
alive to see it, would be compelled to
admire the advancement of his idea. It
comprehends dashing and defiant raid
on republican rights, and will enrich the
democratic road agents with the spoil of
half dozen seats in congress that in.
Justice belong to the other party. This
plan may differ in detail from the ac-
complished work of the Missouri and
Ohio artists in political spoliation, but
in principle it is the same. 1t is thor
oughly bad and intolerably offensive to
the spirit of our institutions. Yet it
passes practically unchallenged, save by
those whom it proposes to despoil, and
their voice is raised against the injury
rather than against the vicious SYSTEM
But the gerrymander must go. Its con-
tinuance is a menace to popular govern
ment and a standing invitation to reyo-
luton. 1t nullifes the citizens fran
chise and STILES his voice in public
affairs. It encourages political trusts
and strengthens the hands of the boss
and his heelers.

Apparently Unrelated Phenomena.


WASHINGTON, June 13.-Now that Boil
ivia is on the eve of revolution, savants
think it might be worth while for some
of our scientific people to conduct a
series of observations in South American
revolutions. Chile, Brazil (2), Venzuela,
Colombia, Bolivia, with Peru, Argen-
tine, Uruguay and Patagonia yet to hear
from. Simultaneously with these dis
turbances came an exceedingly large
sun spot, an eight tailed comet, the oc-
cultation. os Jupiter, ditto of Venus,
and the reappearance of that plumed
political comet, J. G. B., whose, orbit
and motions generally are SO uncertain.
1t is possible that some connection may
be discovered to exist between one or
more of these. apparently unrelated
phenomena.

The Hand of Jassnh.

Oregonian. Had the state of Oregon
been properly represented at. Minnea-
polls its votes would have been cast for
Harrison. Seven of them were cast for
Mckinley, but this was a. subterfuge'
Mckinley is a great and worthy man,
but he was not a candidate, and the Ore
gon delegates knew it. They were not
actuated by wish to nominate McKin-
ley, but byfa wish to defeat Harrison.
And this wish to defeat Harrison had no
proper motive. Why Mr.. Simon wished
to defeat him is well enough understood.
That the whole delegation, with one ex-
ception, allowed his wish to prevail,
against the well-known sentiments of
the republicans of Oregon, is not credi-
table to them. Had it been thought
necessary, resolution instructing the
delegation to support Harrison would
have been passed through the Oregon
convention, with no opposition. Mr..
Simon had fine opportunity to show a
magnanimous spirit, but he did not
avail himself. of it. An opportunity like
this doesn't come to a man often, and it
ought not to be thrown away If Mr..
Simon, instead of making futile effort
to obtain revenge, had acted with mag
nanimity, all Oregon would have taken
note of the act, and the republicans of
Oregon would have been represented
rightly at Minneapolis.

Post in trying to fight the Mckinley
tariff here, when it has just won so
splendid a triumph over the official free
traders of England is simply political
madness. Lord Salisbury's speech,

message did four years ago. 1t has been
the fixed policy OF the United States,
ever since the revolutionary war, that
what is good for England must be bad
for this republic and what is bad
for England must be to our advantage.
The Mckinley tariff has injured Eng
land as greatly as it has benefited us.
Therefore it is sound American policy.

The BIggest Lake Steamer.

CHICAGO, June 13.-Manager Babcock
had issued invitations and several thou
sand people were present today in the
yards of the Chicago shipbuilding com
pany on the Calumet to witness the
launch of the great steel steamer Mari
tana, the largest ON fresh water. There
was no accident, and the new craft took
to her natural element with as much
grace as possible in side launch. The
Mariana is the property OF the Mine
sofa steamship company and is very
much like the Marina, but much larger.
Designed as a business boat and conse-
quently a carrier, the model, neverthe-
less shows great symentry. The lines
are easy and beautiful, and the bow and
stern are especially fine. The dimens-
ions are as follows: Length of keel, $50
feet; length over all, 34s feet; breadth
of beam, 45 feet; depth of hold 241s feet.
She has triple expansion engines, "a, 80,
and SO inches, with 4S inches stroke,
steam being furnished from three u by
IL feet steel boilers, under 100 pounds
pressure. Withrthe present low stage OF
water from Lake Superior, the new craft
will carry about 8 900 tons and her speed
will be about "A miles an hour. In out
fit the Maritana viii have all the latest
and most improved machinery for the
quick handling of freight, and she will
be lighted throughout by electricity.
The cost of the new craft complete is
$25O0O0

The other day, in Beekman
street, a motherly-looking cat was
calmly sitting on the curb watching
the antics of her four kittens, which
were having a glorious time rolling
about and mauling one another.
The kittens kept at their sport for
some time. Suddenly one OF them,
tireing of further play, wandered away
toward large paper bag that was
huttering in the wind on the walk.
Nosing around the bag, he presently
espied an opening, into which he craw-
led. The attention of his fellows was
soon directed to the new attraction,
to which they speedily FASTENED, and
entering one by one, the four kittens
quickly found themselves housed in
this unusual domicile. They made
no effort to leave it, observing which
the old cat, who kept. an eye all the
time on the maneuvers of her progeny
walked toward the bag, smelled and
looked within it's interior, and seeing
her kittens at rest, she picked up
the parcel with her teeth, and walking
