Observations.

We print in another column
an article headed "Jingoism"
which appeared in the Outlook
on May 25th, and which has
considerable bearing on the
relations of Hawaii and the
United States. The editor is
the Rev. Lyman Abbott,
pastor of Beecher's Church,
and he is presumably the editor
of the article. Coming from
such a source the article is en-
titled to great consideration
and the anti-annexation senti-
ments uttered in it will indicate
the true feeling of the United
States.
Ex- Marshal Wilson has
written a letter in the Adver
tiser in which he asks severa
pertinent questions. He wants
to know if we can get annexa
tion, and if so, how. And i
we cannot get it, he wants tx
know why. So far the peopl,
to whom Wilson appeals have
not answered his questions
| Would it not be we'll to hav
Mr.. Thurston or some other 0
the initiated come out openly
and tell Mr.. Wilson and tn,
rest of. the world what h
knows about the prospects o
getting or not getting close
union. Private meetings a
w. r. Castles house do no
enlighten the people general,
or G. Burnett Wilson.

Seattle, Sept. 6-Ths Puget Sound con-
ference of the Nj. b. Church today by
vote of 70 to IL favored the admission
Of women as lay delegates to the general
conference of the church.
Presiding Elder t. r. Ford. of Seattle,

general conference on the first ballot.
Two more ballots were then taken for

no choice. The election was postponed
until tomorrow.
The principal candidates are three other
presiding elders of the conference. The
lay delegates chose A. Barlow, of Taco
ma, and Dr. Rufus Fl. Willard, of Sc
attle, as lay delegates to the general con-
ference. They also adopted resolutions
requesting the general conferences to so
amend the constitution of the church as
to make the lay delegation equal to the
ministerial, and also requesting the cut
ting down of apportionments for church
benevolence in keeping with the reduced
circumstances of the people ana the gen.
eral condition Of business. *

SEEKING FOR FLAWS.
Defense Searching for Technlcalites in
the Durrant Case.

San Francisco, Sept. 6.-The taking OF
| testimony in the trial Of Durrant Is pro-
| ceeding slowly
During the three days in which wit
| nesses have been on the stand all that
has been established is that Blanche La
mont is dead, and that her body bore
marks of violence. The prosecution is
inclined to make speed, and Is wasting no
time in unnecessary queries. On the
other hand, the defense seems to be
threading uncertainties and searching for
technicalities.
In the cross-eXamination of witnesses
the defendants attorneys continually
throw out fishing lines, hoping to catch
a discrepancy in the testimony. They
are diligently seeking for flaws but as
yet they have not found any that are
material.
The police detectives are still gathering
testimony to strengthen the prosecution
1t is now said that the defense will
rely largely on the improbability of the
prosecution proving its case beyond any
doubt. Today's witnesses were introduce
ed by the prosecution to complete the
evidence that Blanche Lamont was MUIR,
dered.
Policeman Riehl, who accompanied De-
tective Gibson to Emanuel church, on the
day Blanche Lamont's body was discov-
cred, testified to the condition of the
corpse, and to the presence of blood on
the floor near her head, on the belfry
stairs, and on the floor where It had
dripped from the steps. He stated that
the thick dust on the floor of the belfry
was marked with footprints, but there
was no evidence of a struggle there, the
inference being developed by the defense
that the murder was committed down
stairs and the body carried to the tow
er
The defense will try to show that one
man cOud not have borne this burden
unaided. The prosecution will try to
prove that Blanche Lamont weighed only
10 pounds, and that Durrant could have
carried her with but little difficulty.

ASTORIA F1REMEN.
Return Yesterday from the Vancouver
Tournament.

Tournament.
The Astoria Hose Team returned from
Vancouver yesterday afternoon on the
steamer Telephone. The boys arrived In
Portland Thursday morning, and spent
the day and evening taking In various
places of interest in that city, leaving
yesterday morning for home.
Though the team did not meet with the
success It exepcted, and which 1t really
deserved yet one and all came away
highly pleased with the time had and the
treatment given them by the iremen of
Vancouver, and with the satisfaction
of having won more money than any OF
the other outside teams.
The speed race, won by the Astorlans
In % 4-5 seconds, Is said to be the coast
record for that particular race. Besides
winning the speed race they captured
the second prize in tho New York or
Championship race, and had the water
pressure been as strong as when the win
ming team ran the Astorians would have
undoubtedly made the best time. AS if
was they were compelled to walt fully
seven seconds for water. The fastest
time in the dry test was made by the As
torians but they were ruled out by the
judges on account Of not screwing the
nozz,e on full. Second money in ,his
race was divided equally between Asto-
ria, Vancouver and The Dalles
The members Of the home team say
that the visiting firemen expressed them
selves as highly gratlied that Astoria
secured the tournament in '96, when 1t is
thought that fully twice as many teams
will be present, and that the election OF
George G. Sears as president Of the
Northwest Firemen's Association met
with the greatest satisfaction.
For the ensuing year the following COM
mittees have been appointed:

HUBBLE CREEK, Feb. 4, 1885,
While attending Sunday services at

men by the names of Thompson and
Payton began a dispute owe some
trivial matter which came very near
ending in the death of the latter. The
young men are about IS and 10 years
of age and their argument was only
brief when Thompson pulled his pock-
ct knife and cut Payton from the
shoulder nearly to the palm of his
right hand, making a deep and very
painful wound. He then made another
swift stroke with the knife, plunging
it into the lower part of the lung.
Thompson a Immediately arrested
and taken to Jail at Jackson.
Young Payton is in a very critical
condition and the chances are very
slight for his recovery.
