THE PACIFIC ROADS DEBT.
Talking Over the Scheme of Accept
ing Its Principnl Only.

The House committee on Pacific railroads
heard Victor Morowitz, Charles Tweed and
A. II. Boisevain for the Union and Central
Pacific roads today on the proposition Of
the government taking the principal of
it's debt and letting interest CO.
The status of the sinking fund was dis
cussed and committee members argued
that the government could not apply it to
its debt until the first debt was settled
Mr.. Tweed held the sinking fund belonged
to the government in any event.
MIR. Morowitz declared the Union Pacific
must be reorganized: it's continuance IN
der present conditions was impossible, but
1T did not ask new charter from Con-
gress; 1t could reorganiZe under state au-
thority.

A PACIFIC COAST PARKHURST.
Rev. ThOs. Filbern of San Francisco
Makes Charges.

SAN FRANCISCO. February 19.-Rev.
Thomas Filbern, pastor of the First Meth
odist Episcopal Church, has addressed an
open letter to the chief of police, recounting
omen and fragrant violations of order and
decency as witnessed by the minister dur
ing several midnight inspections of the
tenderloin district. He expresses the be-
lief that police officers have for years been
fattening off the protection they have been
affording these infamies. He announces
his ability to prove his charges by indis-
putable evidence and states that the chiefs
confessed helplessness proves the need of
a state commission for the work of investi-
eating police management.

CaIiber of the Human Intestine.

From the Lancet n
Do American citizens, as rule. possess
more yolumineus intestinal tracts than
their French congeners, and, if so, how far
is cookery responsible for the difference?
It is, of course, notorious that French
cooking is the best in the world; has this
fact any bearing upon the presumably
small caliber of the French bowel? Diges-
ton being made easy, SO to speak, is it the
has been the consequence? Is there also
discrepancy as regards length between the
prina viae of the two nationalities? Saw
ages are endowed with magnificent mouth
furniture, and dental decay is sometimes
said to be product of civilization depend
ent to great extent upon knives and
forks! Has the human race any reason to
dread analogous deterioration as a coral
lary to elaborate cookery? Finally, and by
way of closure to these obiter dicta, are
dainty dishes physiological mistake?

NOTES BY THE WAY.

''If you lived In Persia you would be
champion for the universal uses of oleo-
margarine" said E. r. Monteith, an Eng
lfshman. who spent some years in that
country, to party Of friends at the Nor
mandie. Butter is considered a great
delicacy over there, but in order to meet
the critical approval Of native connoisseurs
IT must be as ancient as the sun. They are
not as discriminating about the age of their
wines as they are about the age of their
butter. The compound Is considered to be
pretty good when 1t is seven or eight years
old, but when It gets up to twenty or TWEEN
ty-fve summers 1t Is prize that every
Persian palate fairly delights in. An old
fellow was once pointed out to me in Tehe-
ran by an envious acquaintance, who in
formed me- with an air of great import
ance, that he owned a jar of butter nearly
sixty years old! Did ever taste any of it?
How could have done SO, when am here
to tell the story?'
eff the members of the present Congress
had been down at the great naval rendez-
vous at Hampton Roads two years ago this
spring there would be no trouble about the
making Of appropriations to give this coun-
try q better navy" said George Phinney Of
Philadelphia at the Riggs House this morn
ing. There was no doubt about the pic
turesque effect presented by our white
boats, but even the most ardent patriot
was compelled to admit their inferiority
when he examined the fighting boats of the
foreigners. There the French boat,
the Jean Bart, for instance. 1t was an
chored away down toward Norfolk at the
end of the fleet and few people went down
to go over her, but 1T was worth the trip.
She had steel masts, hollow on the interior,
with winding staircase inside, which led up
to fighting tops, each of which contained
five Hotchkiss guns. She was accoutered
throughout in a similarly deadly manner,
and while she was not lovely to took at, the
sight of her was mighty suggestive and in
spring. With our immense commercial in
terests that may be threatened at any time
we need not only fast going cruisers to de-
Stroy an enemy'S merchant marine, but we
want swiftly moving fighting machines that
can meet and overcome foreign pirates that
are doing the same thing with our trade
carriers"
zone of your countrymen was very much
amused at me recently, when I remarked
that I could not understand the puzzling
financial tangle your government is in,"
said Ronald Mann, an Englishman from
Derbyshire, at the Metropolitan yesterday.
He replied that everybody in the states
was in a predicament similar to my own.
1t seems to me that the two great parties
here ought to sink their differences for the
time being and solve the problem that ap-
pears to be frightening everyone. So far,
to my naturally limited vision, it seems
that your President is the only person who
can meet the dilemma in any way what
ever. To a person like myself it appears
as If your boosted repubicanism is made
Cuate, when called upon, to settle crisis
that everyone is DESTROYS of seeing over
come in some way or another"

decorations of flowers made the stage
look very pretty, while over the foot

posing the word ''Welcome." The pro-
gram opened with selection by our
orchestra, which never played with
better effect. The visitors, wko are ex-
cellent judges of music, were very kind
in praising The Dalles orchestra and
many compliments were bestowed upon
the musicians. Our city was well rep
resented in the exercises and The Dalles
could well feel proud that in its midst
could be found such musical ability.

A High Compliment.

The following letter from the agent of
the Oregon Fruit Union in Helena to
the manager here, pays a high compli-
ment to Wasco county cherries. The
only thing that can be corrected is that
the cherries were not packed by an ex-
perienced California packer. but were
put up by members of Mr.. Taylor's
family. Following is a portion of the
letter received:
1--WE desire to call your attention to
the shipment of cherries made from The
Dalles by Mr.. o. D. Taylor. This was
by far the finest pack and the finest
cherry that has been received from Ore
gon and found ready sale. If you could
have the other packers do as we'll and
put up as nice fruit as Mr.. Taylor does,
it will find ready sale, and there will be
no trouble to move the fruit. The cher
ries were extra large and very evenly
and carefully packed. no doubt, by an
experienced California man. Such
cherries as Mr.. Taylor's do not last more
than few minutes"

SUNDAY WITH THE TURNER'S.
A Large Number Come From Portland
Excursion and Concert Fine Set
of Singers.

Yesterday was gala day among our
German friends. Great preparations
had been made to entertain the Portland
Turner's and never was hospitality more
successful and better appreciated.
When the Regulator left the city at 8
o'clock large number of members of
the Gesang Verein and their friends
were aboard. The crowd was not as
large as on previous occasions, but what
they lacked in numbers they made up in
enthusiasm. The Orchestra band was
on the lower deck and discoursed sweet
music as the boat backed up the river
and then passed the city front at full
speed. Captain McNulty was at the
wheel. The trip down the river was un-
marked by any excitement. The only
stops made were at Hood River, where
some passengers came aboard, and at
Chenowith, where the steamer stopped
for wood. Cascade Locks was reached a
little before l o'clock and the excursion
lists waited an hour before the Dalles
City arrived from Portland with large
crowd on board. A slight rain was fall
ing most of the time and the opportun-
tiles for seeing things and especially the
locks, were not as good as on the pre-
vious trips. Most of The Dalles people
gathered at the wharf to wait for the
Dalles City and soon the staunch boat
was seen coming around Sheridan e
point and plunging into the midst of the
rapids. 1t is thrilling sight to watch
this honest steamer as she comes from
SherIdan's point to the Wharfboat. She
never falters nor swerves from her course
but bravely rides through the rapids and
soon rests in the quiet waters at the foot
of the canal. About forty of those who
were aboard the steamer came through
to The Dalles. The others were excur.
sionists who made the trip to Cascades
and return.
The Regulator left the Locks about :
D. M, and arrived in The Dalles shortly
after O'Clock. The Turner'S were vel
coined by large crowd at the dock anc
many salutations of recognition were ex
| changed. procession, headed by the
band, was formed at the wharf anC

The intervals between the arrival of the
boat and the hour for the concert wal
passed by the visitors in walking througl
our city and noticing its substantial
| buildings and pretty residences. Many
of the Turner's were well acquainted il

homes of some of our citizens. They
all had kind word to say for the beaut,

to the insane asylum today. Patterson

something to do with starting a fire in

halls from Hood River. His form of
insanity is not violent, and a course of
proper treatment will probably result in
his early release.
After the usual business at the meet

afternoon a pleasant little affair oc-

Both. There had been considerable rival
ry as to who should receive the prize,
and the fortunate recipient can feel
pleased, as the receiving of it showed
who was possessed of influence among
the boys. The trophy was to have been
awarded some time ago, but was for
various reasons delayed till last Satur-
day.
Yesterday the Congregational Sunday
school had very pleasant exercises in
place of the regular lesson. 1t was re-

school recited the titles and verses in
concert. and showed that their minds
had been busy during lesson days: The
class of little children, under Mrs. Con-
don, added greatly to the pleasure OF
the day, and showed how carefully they
had been trained. The school is pros
