WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 9.-General Flager,
chief OF the bureau OF ordnance, appeared be
fore the Senate committee on coast deienses this
morning and urged the establishment of gun
factory on the Pacific coast Regarding the
number of guns necessary for the protection of
three Of the principal ports on the Pacific coast,
San Diego. san Francisco and the mouth o; the
Columbia river, General Fiasier said it would
require 1856 new steel guns and 100 new steel
mortars. Relative to the defenses OF San Fran
cisco, the general said 1t was the present plan
TO mount all eight and teninch guns on dis
appearing carriages, the larger guns to be
placed in barbette and metal turrets. These
disappearing carriages would cause the gun to
disappear behind the parapet which conccals
and protects the gun and its personnel while
loading aud firing. In response 10 the question
as to carriages for guns already completed,
Genera. flagler said mono were now finished.
but three weeks ago, evidently having in mind
the Chilean affair, he was prepared 20 mount in
haste guns on the old carriages now on the
Pacific coast

the voters are allowed four minutes to prepare
the ballots. The outlook now is that the Lib
ersi or Wilcox party will win, but not every
thing-probably three out of the five mobiles and
five out of the eight representatives to be
elected from Honolulu aud near vicinity. 1t Is
also expected that the Liberals will bring IN
majority of the representatives from the other
islands.
1t is rumored that Wilcox personally will not
be elected. and the reason for this is given that
he would be debarred by law from obtaining
any lucrative official positions II elected repre-
sentative, and that he is willing to forego legis-
lative honors for the prospective larger returns
which often fall to worthy member of suc-
cessful party. The annexation bubble seems to
be prcked, every attempt TO make it political
question in the present campaign having
failed.

THE IDEAL OREGON CANDIDATE.
He Must Be a Representative MAN
Who VIII Spend Money!

Who VIII Spend Money.
PORTLAND, Feb Especial. John c. Leas-
ure, of Peudleton, prominent Republican poll
tician OF Eastern Oregon, said today:
There is a candidate for Office for every 160
acres OF ground up our way. Baker county has
three for the Republican congressional nominal
ton in the Second district. They are Charles
A. Johns, John j. Rands and Il. S. Anderson.
Morrow county has W. X. Ellis. Harvey has j.
B. Huntington, and Union has W. J. Snodgrass
and ]. w. NoryaL They are all bobbng up be-
cause OF the general understanding that East
ern Oregon Will get the nomination, as Multi
nomah, having two senators and governor,
does not want it. There is belief that each
candidate will come to the convention with a
large following, but l do not believe
unpledged, and alter looking the field over
will select the man. Multnomah county claims
to be taking no interest in the congressional
canvass. but she should wake up. She is as
much interested in the canvass any other
county in the district and should see to it that
fellow with only six bits in his pocket is not
nominated. We should put up a representative
man--one who will spend money and make
good canvass. II Senator Haley sees any chance
of election he will accept the Democratic nomi-
nation, spend money and make an active can
yass.
Hon. C. B. Watson came up from Southern
Oregon yesterday to renew acquaintances He
says the prospects are for a hard fight between
Hermann aud Miller for the congressional
nomination in the First district. Miller, he
says, is very popular, and has made many
friends who appreciate Hermann's good work
in congress and have no objection to his re-
election. As yet there is no apparent systema-
tized effort on the part of anyone. The Demo-
Gratis, Mr.. Watson says, are better organized
than ever before, while the Republicans seem
to be without organization.

San DIEGO. CAL, Feb. a.-Several fires have
occurred in this city during the past few days,
few of which are known to have been incen-

blaze that occurred in the st. James hotel was
incendiary, but substantiation for that state
ment was d fire about $50 this morning in the

OF a lodger on the third floor of the build
ing. Just before the fire was discovered a man
was heard to run through the hall and down
stairs. The occupants of the building, which
is used an apartment house, were thoroughly
terrified, as the house was quickly filled with
smoke. Several women were caught on the
point OF jumping from the second and thiro-
story windows. An hour later fire was discov-
cred in another part OF the town in an unoccu-
pied building, but was extinguished before
much damage was done. The citizens are
thoroughly aroused and efforts will be made to
have the police force increased. The town is
overrun with tramps, who come here to escape
the cold weather.
