AS A SPEEDING CENTER.
Salem is Already Well Established
as a T, otting Horse Center.

For speeding center Salem is nice
ly located, and has always had one OF
the best tracks in Oregon or Washing
ton. The new regulation track and
modern buildings, built by state ap-
preparation and under direction Of a
first class track engineer, adds weight
to the claim that. we will have the
most desirable Aofse racing center on
|tbe northkestI coast. We have the
rich resources of pasture and feed that
go to make first class horses and as q
breeding center this part of Oregon has
no equal. At least two great speed
meetings will be held at Salem this
year, and hundreds of horsemen from
all parts Of the coast and Northwest
will attend those meetings, When
ever they do they will realize 'that un-
usual facilities Garss heteI afforded for
raising fine horses. Splendid grasses,
good water and cheap grain, with no
killing heat or freezing cold, and cheap
natural pasture lands, will attract the
attention Of practical horse-breeders to
the great advantages Of our soil and
climate. Nothing will advance land
in this vicinity as much as establish
ment of fine breeding ranches, of which
there are already several, and men are
now looking up locations In this vicin-
ity on account of the new regulation
track located here.
The business hnen ofSalem can make
no better investment than to shcourage
the Oregon Breeding and Speed Assn.
They will not make mistake to give
II hearty support, II is bound to de-
yelop inteoss o. A,s,bigeest and best
race meetings In the West II properly
maintained and add thousands to the
wealth of this county.

Each of the above named horses have
individual merits that ought to make
the Salem hOrsemen proud of having
them in their midst. The successful
breeder in contemplating breeding,
will of course study the individuality
of each horse whose services Is offered
to the public and then breed to the one
whose size, color, disposition, gait and
general make up, better suits that Of
the mare he contemplates breeding.
Don't let the idea that seems to pre-
vail among few that on account OF
the low price Of horses, y6u will not
breed; If you have the rafes keep them
producing something each year and see
that that something is the best, for
there Is always market for a good
article, while it is difficult at times to
even give away poor article. The
farmer who has mares and refuses to
allow them increase because they don't
consider the present market remunera-
tive might as we'll let their wheat land
remain on account of the low price of
wheat. No healthier and more enjoy:
able recreation can be found anywhere
or in anything else than q spin over
the road behind the favorite road
ster; it puts new life into the tired mer
chant who has each day to spend his
time indoors.

UNION PACIFIC DEBT.
Condition of Its Obligations to
the Government.
The Receivership of the Railroad
May Possibly Lead to Heavy
Losses.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The resolution
passed by the House relating 10 receiver
ship for the Union Pacific Railway, and
calling upon the Attorney-General to in-
form the House as TO what legislation, if
any. is necessary in order 10 secure the in-
debtedness Of that company to the Gov
ernment, may result in some important
developments in the relations between
that company and the Government.
The relations between the Government
and company were materially altered when
the road went into the hands of receiver
not so much from legal standpoint as by
the Thurman act, through which the Gov
ornment obtained lien on all the proper
ties of the company.
But the insolvency Of the company rem
ders it impossible for it to discharge its
obligations 10 the Government when they
mature. 1t gives the receivers under the
common law power 10 convert its assets
into cash and empowers them to issue re-
ceivers' certificates to operate the road
Then these would constitute a lien para
mount to that of the United States. Some
bonds mature in 1895, and il matters with
the road 60 badly under the receivership
the result might be to throw the Govern
ments claim and all other liens into the
court with the inevitable effect of great
loss to the Governments interest.

EXCESSIVE TONNAGE.
Senator Perkins Would Have Duties
Repealed.

SAN DIEGO. Oct. 15.-In response to a
letter written by R. b. Young, secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce, regarding
the disadvantages existing at this port
under the present system Of levying ex-
cessive tonnage dues upon Mexican steau-
ers. Senator Perkins writes from WASH
ington that the Committee on Foreign
Relations of the Senate has now under
consideration new treaty with Mexico, In
which those questions will be fully con-
sidered.
Personally" he said. II am not only in
favor of repeal Of extra tonnage duties but
also of the present duty on cattle. We
prefer ad valorem duty to that Of so much
per head. OF course, our Government
does not want TO make concessions to
Mexico unless that Government does some
thing in return. Nothing, however, can
be done till the silver question is disposed
of. When it is / hope we will get down to
matters OF benefit to the country and espe-
cially to California"

MELLO'S DESTRUCTIVE WORK
Shells Landed in the Center of
the City.
MANY BUILDINGS DEMOLISHED.
There Was a Great Loss Among For.
eigners, and the English Are
Investigating.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The Herald's
Montevido dispatch says: Further details
of the bonn bardment of Rio were for
warded. The Government forces suffered
heavy losses and is suppressing all reports
of casualties.
The rebel ship Aquidabam. Mellos' flag
ship. opened the bombardment. The bonl-
Dardment was very destructive one.
Many bAitdings were badly damaged.
Residents of the city fled In terror.
Several shells from the insuTgeDt feet
struck in the center of the city. killing
many inhabitants. A shell from the Ira
iido fell in the center of the city. The
buildings occupied by the Rio News and
and the American Bible Society were
wrecked. Many foreigners were killed
and wounded.
Among buildings which suffered greatly
from the bombardment was the police bar
racks. The Government forces, 1000
strong. replied vigorously to the fire from
the fleet. The land batteries had few
old Krupp guns mounted and these were
trained on the ships. They were not effect
i've, however. None of the ships were
injured.
The insurgents feet also bombarded
Nichteroy, Domingos, Icarahy and Santa
Rosa, suburbs of Rio. The fire ON all OF
them was destructive to property. 1t is
also known there was great loss of life.
but facts are suppressed by the Govern
nent officials.
Advices of a sharp engagement between
detachment of revolutionary forces and
Government troops near P0nta da Cabb
were received. The rebels were short of
coal and sent detachment to capture
supply which they knew was kept at this
point.
The land force waited until they got
within range and opened fire. The con-
test lasted short time with the land bat
teries. which were silenced. The naval
detachment then captured the coil.
Owing to the English interest involved
complaint was made of the attack to the
British Minister, Wyadham. in Rio. He
detailed Captain Lang to make an investi-
CATION. After the close Of the inquiry he
reported that there had been heavy losses
and several Government troops were killed

PARIS, Oct. 15-The civil marriage of
Lord Terrence Blackwood. son of Marquis
Dufferin, British Embassador, and Miss
Flora Davis of New York was celebrated
yesterday at Marie. The religious cere-

Lord Dufferin, and during the course of
his remarks the Mayor said: "Ths Eng

Mayor made graceful compliment to the
British AMBASSADOR" and continuing

LOYAL TO THE QUEEN.
But One Party of Hawaiians, Says
Davies.

VICTORIA, Oct. 15.-TheophiIus a.
Davies, guardian of the Hawaiian Prin-
cess Kaullani, is here awaiting the sailing
of the steamer Miowera, on which he re-
turns to Honolulu.
It was Davies who organized the party
accompanying the Princess to Washington
when she went to state her case to Presi-
dent Cleveland.
An Interesting event in Kaiulani's life
occurs Tomorrow. when she attains her
majority. Tho Princess will winter at
Wiesbaden.
Speaking about her and her plans.
Davies said:
There has been great deal said and
telegraDhed about the position the Princess
bears toward the Queen. They talk about
the Princess being willing to take the
throne. Now, the position is simply this,
that the Princess is perfectly loyal to the
Queen, and there can be no question of
her taking the throne during the life Of
the Queen, except at the Queens request,
so all this talk to the contrary is entirely
unfounded. 1t Is question that never
has arisen and can never arise. She has
never had such ideas, as far as know, and
l certainly never had any idea that she
would do anything but carry out the
Queens wishes.
'She has been represented as heading
some other party. There is only one
party of Hawaii and that is represented
by the Queen. and the Princess. as her
heiress. The Princess went to Washing
ton, not in her own interests. but in those
of the Hawaiian throne and nation"
AS to the future Of the nation. so far as
the United States is concerned, Davies is
of the opinion that Cleveland will refuse
either to annex or protect Hawaii unless
satisfied that the nation wants it. Every
official Of the United States Government
with whom Davies had dealings has in
spired him with the belief that justice is
intended toward Hawaii.

rail at those conditions which have
brought them to such dire distress. The
peculiar conditions under which the Chin
ese race has been developed has mad g
them especially skillful as bread-winners.
"As merchants they have proven them
selves to be the best traders in the world
ana have outstripped all competition in a
fair race. They understand the laws Of
trade, of exchange and the value of
money.
"The merchant prince who sleeps under
his counter and lives on 80 cents day can
drive out of business his white competitor
who has his house 10 town and country
seat. The Chinese lab0rer is not an
ignorant being, as he Is sometimes con-
sidered. All of them have the rudiments
of their peculiar education.
"They have their virtues. They are in
dustrious, and with the exception of the
use of opium are temperate. Their chief
vice is gambling. With this exception they
are very economical. The very virtues of
these strange people make them more dan
gerous tn our civilization.
"They can monOpoliZe our labor If
allowed to do so and destroy our great
middle class. 1t is evading the question to
say that these people are no more unde-
sirable than some other foreigners. That
is no argument, for if we cannot make a
success of excluding this class we may as
well abandon all hope of excluding any
undesirable immigration.
Mr.. Hilborn showed that the Chinese
population in Eastern States was rapidly
increasing in proportion to the increase In
Western States. He showed that over
$500, 900, 900 had been taken out of Califor-
MA and shipped to China.
"What Eastern State could stand such
drain ?'' he asked. IF representatives OF
Eastern States should bring this danger to
the homes of their people by sentimental
legislation Oh this subject they would, in
the disorder that would follow, find nc
solace in the recollection that they had been
guided by gushing emotion when they
should have followed the dictate of COM
mon sense. From every point OF view
this imm igration is undesirable. and If we
| would preserve the American laborer
from ruin. If we would preserve our CIV
ilization itself, we must exclude this pecu-
liar people.

of the struggle, for two mountain

cannot exist side by side in America. One
