One day Nine. Bazaine, Mexi.

receive Queen Isabella of Spain, who

courts, but camps, he committed the
awful offense of shaking the queens

it respectfully. The queen uttered a
cry of discontented astonishment,
but she had another surprise in store
for her. The lieutenant of the guard
went in to, epprise Marshal Bazaine
Of the royal visit, expecting to find
him ready for it. The marshal was,
however, having his 40 winks, and
although violently shaken by the
officer still snored on heavily.
Eventually NJ. Eymard, being ut

had to inform Queen Isabella of the
semicomatose condition of the mar

TWO HORSE ITEMS.-At Cincin-
natl on August I'd Misty Morn won the
seven-eighths mile dash by four
lengths. Sam Jones wrote she would
have won another good race, only that
she was so far ahead her rider went to
sleep and let another Jock" steal a
march. We shall now expect to hear
from Rosebud, Rosa Morn and Apollo.
The entries, as will be seen for the
Oregon state fair races, are away above
what anybody expected under the
pressure Of the hard times. We regard
this success as a very favorable omen
of the success of the fair. If every
other department comes to the front
as has the speed department. we will
have the greatest fair for years. Hon.

ever made that perilous journey
crossed over the mountains with in
credible toll, to reach Oregon, the field
of their labor. After remaining there
for few years, DR.. Whitman began
to understand the object of the mis-
representations of the British Hudson
Bay company. He saw, contrary to the
reiterated public statements of the
company:
81. That the land was rich in miner
ais.
s'"2. That emigrants could cross the
Rocky Mountains in wagons, a feat
which they had constantly asserted to
be impossible.
'"3 That the Hudson Bay company
was planning to secure the sole occu-
pancy of the whole of that country
by obtaining a surrender of the Amer
lean title into the hands of the British
government.
'"Seeing these things, but not know
ing how very near the British scheme
was to it's accomplishment, DR.. Whit
man resolved, at every hazard, to pre-
vent its consummation. He undertook,
in 1912, to make a journey on horseback
to Washington, to lay the whole matter
closely before our government by per-
sonal representations. Being a man of
great physical strength and an iron
constitution, he accomplished the long
and perilous journey, and reached
Washington in safety.
Reaching Washington, he sought
an interview with President Tyler, and
Daniel Webster, then secretary of state,
and unfolded to them distinctly what
was going on. And here he learned
that a treaty was almost ready to be
signed in which all this northwestern
territory was to be given up to Eng
land, and we were to have in compen-
sation greater facilities in catching
fish. DR.. Whitman labored to convince
Mr.. Webster that he was the victim
of false representations with regard to
the character of the region, and told
him that he intended to return to Ore
gon with a train of emigrants. Mr..
Webster, looking him full in the eye,
asked him if he would pledge himself
to conduct a train of emigrants there
in wagons. He promised that he would.
Then, said Mr. Webster, this treaty
shall be suppressed. DR.. Whitman, in
coming on, had fixed upon certain rail-
semble to accompany him on his re-
turn. He found nearly 1000 ready for
the journey. After long travel, they
reached Fort Hall, a British military
station, and the commandant undertook
to frighten the emigrants by telling
them that it was not possible to GO
through with wagons; but DIR. Whit
man reassured them, and led them
through to the Columbia, and the days
of the supremacy of the Hudson Bay
company over Oregon were numbered
Statues have been erected, and other
honors freely rendered, by various ma
tions of the world, to commemorate
far less service to their respective
countries than the plain missionary
(Dr. Whitman) rendered to the United
states. Women have been ranked
among heroines in history who encoun
tered less arduous tolls than Mrs.
Whitman and Mrs. Spalding-'the first
white women who made the then peril
GUS journey across the Rocky Noun
tains to the Oregon coast. Are not
such people worthy of mention in
American history?

Il has come to be fully recognized that
the less red tape there is about chari-

GENTLY are the two parties-the needy
and the heiper-brought together. The
Needlework guild is a superb example Of
simple benevolence, and plan recently
proposed by London. man to aid the
destitute Of that city may be the incep-
ton of another equally vast and unob-
structed philanthropy. s.ea
1t is proposed that every person who is
willing to undertake to contribute to the
need Of some needy family during the
coming winter shall send his OF her name
in to committee.
This committee acts simply as clear
ing house, and the plan is known as the
clearing house plan, forwarding the
name to the clergyman or recognized
head of some district where help is need
ed, who in return responds with the ad-
dress of the family to be assisted. That
is all, the gifts going directly from the
reliever to the relieved without inter-
mediaries or circumlocution. Point

WASHINGTON, March 10.-The Post
says the work of arranging the Senate
committee chairmanships has so far pro-
gressed that nearly all have been selected
The most interesting development of the
proceeding is the fact that the free silver
men propose to run the Senate their own
way and are recasting tho finance COM
mittee SO as to leave no doubt of the
stand which the committee will take
upon any coinage bills that come before
it. The Democrats on the committee up
to the 4th Of March were Senators voor-
hees, Mcpherson, Harris and Vance.
Voorhees, will be chairman of the COM
mittee. Harris and Vancs, both out
spoken free silver men, will remain. Mr..
McP will take the craftsmanship
of the Committee on naval affairs, and
the other Democrats on the finance COM
mittee will be Coke and Vest, both of
whom are avowedly on the free coinage
platform.
All anti-silver men, such as Villas, Nc
Pherson and others, have been purposely
kept off the committee.
Senator Morgan will be chairman of
the committee on foreign relations,
Cockrell of appropriations, Harris of the
District of Columbia committee, Cor
man of printing, Mills of library and
Palmer of military affairs.

For an hour and a half prior to the as
sembling Of the Cabinet, Mr.. Cleveland
saw large number of visitors, the
greater number composed of officeseek-
ers and their advocates, with a sprlnk-

A DRUNKEN BRUTE
Fires Three Shots Into the Breast OF
His Son.

GARDNER, Mass, March 10.-Miehael
A. Sullivan, aged b5, who had not recov-
cred from his debauch of yesterday,
went this morning early to call on his
two sons. Finding the room door locked
he procured an axe, smashed the door in
and attacked the boys with the axe.
They succeeded in wrestling the weapon
from him, when he drew revolver and
fired three shots, one taking effect in the
breast of his son Michael, inflicting
probably fatal wound. Sullivan surren-
is man of ugly temper, and his family
troubles were frequent on this account.
