NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an I'M
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount Of the prize. But the Press
Claims COmpany's offer is something
entirely different. Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage Is to
be rewarded for doing it. The prize is
only stimulus to do something that
would be well worth doing without It,.
The architect whose competitive plan for

Of Private Rights Under the Law2
Special Correspondence OF the TIxEs.l
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 6, '93.
Asarule the sentiment OF the Amer.
lean business men and OF American
people generally is strongly in favor
OF the payment of debts, but the last
Congress has flown squarely in the
face of this honorable sense of moral
duty in repudiating obligations of the
government which are Of even higher
weight and sanction than its bonded
debt.
Under the act of Congress OF Janus
ary 20, 1885, tho French spcliation
claims were referred to the Court of
Claims in order to determine whether
or not the government was re-
sponsible for their payment. After
the fullest argument and re.argument
by the solicitor general the court de-
cided that certain of these claims
were released to France by the treaty
of 1900 in settlement Of the demands
OF France upon the government of
the United States for ito failure to
keep the treaty of 1878, undee which
France secured to US our independ.

which were always acknowledged by

Iu Is Again intact.

WAsHINeToN, Aug. 2-For the first
time since April 90, 1898 when the gold
reserve fell below the 100000. 900 mark,
the reserve has been made intact. The
gold in the treasury today, exclusive of
that held as basis for gold certificates,
amounts to $100,T91 $40, or $791 $40 of
free gold. This gold las come into the
United States from Europe, Mexico and
the West Indies, much of It being the
gold sent out from the United States
during the late spring and early summer
months. Information received here. 10
treasury circles, indicates that $10,0OO,-
600 in gold is now on its way from
Europe to the United States, ana most
of this, it is expected, will find lts wav,
as usual, into the treasury. While The
gold reserve, however, is intact and free
gold is climbing up, the treasury net
balance is declining, the stated amount
today being SIT 251 900. OF this bal
auce, about $12,000,C coo is in the national
bank repositories, and the balance 10
subsidiary silver. The receipts, too, tor
the past few days have been disappoint-
ing, the business troubles -throughnut the
country having its effect upon the rev.
enue. Everything is being done posi-
BILE to relieve the situation. Secretary

This will release to the banks about
100000, and is intended, so far as prac-
ticable. to relieve the financial stringency
prevailing in the country. According to
former regulations. each depository bank
was permitted to hold government funds
to the extent OF from 80 to 90 per cent Of
the United States bonds deposited to Sc
cure the same. This action of the treas |
ury permits them to bold govern nent |
funds to the par value of the government
bonds on deposit, and 1t Is believed will |
have the effect, IN slight degree at least,
Of improving the financial situation.

of free trade" came into power, which
is about six months ago, the number
of business failures has increased 200
per cent above that of the first six
months of the year 1892, which was
the first of the full operation of the
Mckinley law.
What the country 1oa needs is
paciication of spirit, assurance that in
dustries will be protected, that wages
will not be depressed by competition
of American laborers with tie lower
paid artisans of Europe. and that a
sound system of finance will be per-
fected and maintained. 1t is the
worst time imaginable for an Ameri-
can consul to yawp rejoiclngly at an
English banquet over a withdrawal
of protection from American indus
tries. Mr.. Cleveland should put a
hook in the jaw of Cousin Benjamin
Folsom.

Congress will convene in a few
days, and from present indications it
is apparent that considerable time
will be wasted before any action will
be taken by the Democratic majority.
They are divided on nearly all the
great questions now agitating the
country, and if the Sherman act is re-
pealed 1T will be done by Republican
votes. 1t is well known that Mr..
Cleveland is strong advocate of
single standard; but it is very doubt
full if his strong individuality will be
successful in harmonizing the jarring
elements in his party. He has her
culean task before him. but he may
prove equal to the emergency. At any
rate, it may be expected that days and
weeks will be consumed in useless de-
bates, and that the walls of the capital
will echo as they never have before to
harangues of orators whose principal
object will be to talk against time and
block legislation. Congress will very
likely wrangle over immaterial issues,
and the country will continue in the
throes of financial depression until
Democratic ideas become crystalized on
the tariff and coinage. 1t will be
a reproduction of Rome burning while
Nero fiddled.

PARIS, Aug. There are signs that
the government is bending before the
blast blowing from the boulevards. 1t is
now explained that France has not really
accepted Slams submission to the fu /
demands Of Frances ultimatum. The
submission was only put on record when
received from Prince Valdehana, Siamese
minister of France, and nothing final
will be done until NJ Leydere de Villers.
French pienIpotentiary, now on his way
to Siam, has accomplished bis mission to
Bangkok. His instructions are: Slams
submission to guarantees against re-
newal of Sans attacks upon the French.
and to ask for special advantages in be-
half of the French, In which the financial
world Is understood to be interested.
The Siamese minister informed the
government today That Siam was pre-
pared to give the supplementary gusran
tee required for France for the fulfill
ment of the terms of the ultimafun
pending the final settlement of the ques
tions involved. The blockade Is still In
force.

During all the periods of financial
depressions The Dalles has always en-
joyed the reputation of being the most
solid city of any In the northwest, and
it is to-day as well able to withstand
the panicky feeling now prevailing as
any point on the Pacific coast. We
have never had any "boom" or infa-
ton of values, and are in no wise re-
sponsible for the fraudulent scheme in
Washington on the north bank of the
Colum bia-called "North Dalles" alias
"Grand Dalles" Our resources have
never been over-estimated or falsifed
in any pamphlet issued from this city,
and the securities upon which our
banks do business are not visionary In
the least; but real, substantial values
that are saleable at par in any and
all markets. There need not be
the least fear of the inability
of any institution not being able to
redeem the paper which it has in cir
cuIation, and there is no necessity. for
any bank to suspend payments, for the
undeveloped resources of as rich
country as there is on the Pacific slope
are the bases on which they do busi-
ness. We have passed through fires
aud floods that would have wiped out
of existence any city of less substan-
tial foundation, and we can success
fully Withstand the present ordeal
without being injured. 1t should be
a matter of personal pride Of every
citizen of The Dalles to display that
confidence in the city that will not
impel any crisis which may injure
growth in the future, and put it in the
list of those mushroom growths that
vither and die at the first unfavorable
hreeze

Outrases in Armenia.

LONDON, Aug. 3-The question of
Turkish outrages upon Armenian Chris
tians was again brought up in the house
of commons. Sir Edward Grey said what
little information the foreign office had
on the subject was very painful. Fifty
SIX persons had been arrested, II con-
demned to death, and many Others sen-
fenced to long terms of Imprisonment
Subsequently the sultan commuted the
death sentences of all but five. These
have been executed within the past two
or three day.. From the evidence given
at trials, all of which have been carefully
investigated by the British representative
10 Turkey and report thereon for
warded to the foreign office, it was clear
that two of the men executed, probably
more, were innocent of the charge sgains,
them a British representative in Con-
stantinople used bis influence to convince
the Ottoman authorities the trials were
unfair, but his efforts were vain.

THE SITUATION.

The Portland Telegram is becoming
impatient at the dilatory action of the
president in not doing something to
restore public confidence, and the fol-
lowing is an excerpt from an editorial
IN a recent issue: 'sThink of it.
Forty-ive million dollars locked up in
the San Francisco mint, and banks
breaking all over the country for want
of ready money. Mr.. Cleveland, we
lmplore you to quit your pleasure
yachting with Wall-street brokers and
come back to your post at Washington
and stay there until these calamitous
times be overpast. Adopt some policy
that will unlock the money i'll the
mints and the treasury vaults and let
1t flow into circulation" There are
many ways IN which this financial de-
preston may have been relieved,
and the most available would have
been the issue of bonds; but
President Cleveland was inclined
not to make any effort IN the
matter, and to lay the blame on con-
gress. As he was elected on a Demo-
cratic platform by Democratic votes,
be is not our president, and Republi-
cans are not in the least responsible
for his derelictions of duty. The dis
trust began when the doctrines of the
Chicago platform we're endorsed by
the country, and it will continue until
it is definitely settled that tariff laws
will not be repealed. We are glad to
note the fact that even Democrats are
becoming discontented at the dilatori-
ness of the present administration, and
hope they will continue their aggres-
slve policy until the position the
country is placed in by reason of Dem.
ocratic reform tactics is fully realized.
