was stated before Mr.. Crocker's OBJ

vance the interests of the poor, ana
still not be out anything at the eS-
piration of twenty years. In spite OF
it all, the investment has been
profitable one, as it takes money TO
make money. The money seems to
work perpetually. 1t seems so strange
and singular that such men as A. i.
Stewart, who bore the reputation
OF being such shrewd and wise busl-
ness man during his long life, should
leave, at his death, $7O,OOo,OOo to an
old gray-headed woman, who could
not even begin to count the immense
sum in her natural life time. HOW
much more honorable had he founded
a Stewart City; then his piles would
not be lessened one nickel. Then
think OF the gratitude OF these colo
nists, whose character were un-
stained, but simply poor. In the
language OF a writer of the day,

philanthropist passes way, grand
monuments will be erected to COM
memorate his memory. The work

possible to predict il advance as the
operatoion of the Mckinley tariff. It
might be we'll TO legislate that people
should be born equal (including equal
privileges of the sexes) but the prac-
teal difficulty is to keep them equal.
Life is wrong somehow. Some are
born rich and some are born poor, and
this inequality makes more misery;
and then some lose their possessions,
which others get hold of, and that
makes more misery. We can put our
fingers on the two great evils OF life
as it now is, the first is poverty, and
the other is infirmity, which is the
accompaniment of increasing years.
Poverty, which is only the unequal
distribution of things desired, makes
strife, and is the opportunity of law
yers; and infirmity is the excuse of
the doctors. Think what the world
would be with out lawyers and
doctors!

San Francisco, Oct. 1S.-A Port
Townsend dispatch says the Chilean
bark Augusta was fred upon late Sun
day night in the straits four miles below
by the revenue cutter Oliver Wolcott, for
attempting to leave Puget sound with
out custom-house clearance. The
Augusta arrived at Townsend several
weeks ago from Chill. She surrendered
her register to Chilean Consul Macon
dray and then proceeded to Tacoma to
load cargo. Vice Chilean Consul de Lion
at Tacoma advised the captain to demand
his register from Macondray, and if re-
fused, to proceed to sea with temporary
register provided by de Lion. Macond-
ray instructed the vessel to clear from
Townsend. As the vessel was going to
sea the Wolcott overhauled her and she
refused to heave-to until fired upon.
The vessel is subject to d fine of $500.
The trouble was occasioned by jealousy
between Macondray and De Lion in re-
lation to which one of them shall act for
the transaction of Chilean business on
Puget sound.

to remove the rocks, but lighted fire

by the engineer, but not in time to pre-
vent striking the rocks, which derailed
pair of trucks under the engine and
another under the tender. A locomotive
was sent from Pendleton, and the train
brought on after few hours delay. If
no warning had been given, the train
would have been thrown off the track,
down the embankment, 100 feet into the
river. Many passengers were on board.

bly, have resulted. A tountiful collection
was taken up amounting TO So, for the

Oregonian. The appropriations placed
at the disposal of Surveyor General Byars
for the survey of public lands are divided
into two portions, one for the survey of
lands within railroad grants and the
other for lands outside of such grants.
In case railroad could not. find land
sufficient within the lines of its grants it
was allowed to go 10 srliles outside to
secure them, and there was some doubt
as to what fund was available for the
survey of this land. On applying to the
Commissioners of the general land office
he is informed that the appropriation
for the survey of lands within railroad
grants cannot be used for lands without
the primary limits of such grants. Any
surveys in the 10-mile limit must be
paid for from the outside appropriation.

COLUMBUS DAY.
Flag Troubles In Newark n. J., and
Batavia, N. Y.

Flag Troubles In Newark n. J., and
Batavia, N. Y.
A dispatch from Newark, yesterday
says a sensation was caused at conven-
ton of the Catholic societies, when ex-
Alderman John Bruder, of Harrison,
spoke upon thequestion of carrying flags
in the Columbus celebration there on
October 21st. A motion had been made
to permit societies to carry any national
flag in the parade, providing that the
stars and stripes were allowed to precede
them. The ex-alderman, who is Ger
man, arose and, taking up position in
the center aisle, said impressively "We
should have the. papal flag first. We
are Catholics first, and Americans after
ward" A silence followed which was
oppressive. 1t was, however, decided
that the resolution should permit all
societies to carry any flag they wanted,
but the American flag should go first.
At Batavia, N. Y, yesterday every
body threw out flags in honor of Colum-
bus day. An Englishman, named
Williams, who has lived there fifteen
years. DuL udS A0tST Oc0u
ran up the British flag. His neighbors
objected to his displaying the flag alone
and asked him to put up an American
flag with it. Williams said the British
flag was going to stay right where it was,
and alone. He wouldn't put up the flag
of any country whose people were in the
habit of making fun of English, English
institutions and Queen Victoria. as
Americans were. The neighbors then
got lot of Roman candles and began to
lombard the Englishman. He escaped
into his house and they turned the
candles upon the flag, burning and tear
ing it to shreds. Williams then ran up
the stars and stripes.

DrIfted Upon an Island and Went to
Pieces---The Exact Number Lost
Unknown.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1S.-A dispatch
from Hongkong says that the Peninsular
and Oriental steamer Bokhara which
left Shanghai for Hongkong on the Sth,
went to pieces on an island in typhoon.
AS she was overdue, the company sent
the steamer Bombay and the British
cruiser Porpoise in search of her. They
bring intelligence that she was wrecked
on Sand island, between the island of
Formosa and the Chinese mainland, IN
the line of the fearful typhoons which
sweep that portion of the world. She
carried large number of both cabin
and steerage passengers, besides crew.
Ali on board were downed, except
twenty-three. After battling long in the
terrible cross sea which broke over her
constantly, the matches were torn off,
the hold filed with water, and fires were
put out and she drifted upon an island
and went to pieces. 1t was impossible
to launch the boats, and of those on
board only twenty-three were able to
cling to the wreck till the storm sub
sided. The exact number lost is not
known. The Bokhara was fine
steamer, of 5000 tons burden. The
cargo was very valuable, consisting, in
addition to the mails, of large amount
of specie and a heavy consignment of
silk.

THE PORTLAND EXPOSITION.
Most Valuable and Successful Fair
Drawing to Close.

Drawing to Close.
Oregonian. The fourth annual fair of
the Portland Industrial Exposition is
drawing to a close, and while it has
created no local furore, it has been the
most valuable and successful in the his
tory of the society. With the exception
of such business men as use the fair as a
means of making their enterprises fa-
miliar to the people, its value and i'm
portance are little realized by the people
of Portland. It is not for the purpose of
maintaining place of pleasant resort
the gentlemen managing this enterprise
devote to it SO much time, thought and
energy. The music and special attrac-
tions are provided to draw attendance
and help the finances of the society, but
they are merely incidental and to a de-
gree extraneous. The chief object is the
display of the resources and prosperity
of the city and state, as means of at
tracing attention to them and thus
leading to more rapid growth in wealth,
population and industries. For this OBJ
ject the attendance of strangers is of
great Importance.
Another object is to knit more firmly
the bond between the city and country,
and with this end in view special effort
is made to provide facilities for the at
tendance of the residents of every Sec
tion of the state. Aside from the finan-
cial feature, large attendance of our
own people furthers both of these OBJ
jects, since it creates a favorable i'm
preston upon strangers from other
states, and stimulates the pride and
friendly interest of those who may be
present from other portions of Oregon.
The fair is doing good work The
exhibition of Oregon's resources is ex-
tensive, and cannot fail to impress every
one who sees it. The people of Portland
are proud to be able to maintain such
an institution, and those of other local
tiles are equally proud of their enter
prising and prosperous metropolis. If
the same energy and business sagacity
the managers of the Portland Industrial
Exposition display in this home enter
prise were bestowed also upon display
of the resources of Oregon at the worlds
fair, the state would reap rich reward.
