NEWPORT, Sept. 19.-(Special Cor
respondent.)- )-Quite a party of notables
Sundayed at Newport. Supt, Baxter,
of the Union Pacific, accompanied by
a few friends, in charge of Supt, r. E.
MuIcahey, of the Oregon Pacific, came
over Saturday night in a private car
and were very much delighted with the
bay, and harbor, and jetties.
Governor PennOyer, State Treasurer
Metschsn and Supt. Arson, of the Sa-
lem Electric Co., enjoyed a hand Of
whist in the smoking car, aud the
various officials and magnates did not
get together until all boarded the Res
lutte" to steam across the bay to New
port. The superintendent, Baxter,
who is very bright man, became the
center Of an interesting group. There
was talk of reduced towage rates on the
Columbia and oboIition of river pilot
fees in which the governor and Supt.
seemed very much agreed.
The railroad people quartered at the
Oay View hose, and the governor and
treasurer set out afoot for Monterey.
TWO miles up the beach. They trudged
stoutly through the mile and half Of
nills aud sands aud half mile of beach
knocked at the back door of the hotel
and asked for nights lodging. Upon
registering 1t leaked out who they were
and at once they were lords of the
premises. AS the governor has not had
day off this year he wanted quiet
Sunday, and beyond a drive to
Cape Foulweather Lighthouse, where
the breakers seemed to roll extra high
in honor of his excellency's visit, the
gentlemen did not stir out all day, but
enjoyed the elegant hOmelike hOspitail-
ity spread before them. In the even
log they were entertained by Misses
Nora and Mollie Fitzpatrick, with the
newest songs at the piano. They re-
turned Monday, the governor having
never but ouce been away from his
office on Monday and that was when
he was ill.
PERSONAL GOSSIP.
Mrs. Governor Pennoyer is at the
worlds fair, having accompanied theiI
son Horace as far as Chicago on his
way to attend the Lawrenceville pre-
paratory school in New Jersey. Mrs
Pennoyer came across the plains in
1853, the present governor of Oregon
came in 1854, they were married il
1855. October the 26th the warshiE
"Oregon" is to be launched in SaI
Francisco and the builders-the Union
Iron Works of California-haye invited
Governor Pennoyer and full staft.to bt
present. The governor was also asked
to have his daughter christen the man
of-war "Oregon." AS his only daugh
ter is married he may designate som'
one else for the great honor. In thai
case it will be an Oregon girl probably
Miss Daisy Ainsworth of Oakland.
NO IRISH ANARCHISTS.
That was witty reply certain Sa
lemite made to man who came int
his Office and wanted to know why il
was that Russian Jews, Poles anC
Hungarians generally made up the so
cialist and anarchist meetings and why
no one ever heard of an Irishmar
among them?
II suppose it is because they are al
employed as policemen" said he.
There is good desl behind this re
mark. The Irishman is naturally
city politician and if he is not at tn,
head Of city politics he is ia control o
the police department, aud this is tru,
of nearly every city in the UniteC
States outside of Oregon. While tn,
Irish are getting control of the munici
palities the Germans are gradually buy
ing up the country and the records will
show that more farms are sold 10 Ger
mans IN Marion county than to al
other classes Of purchasers put together
