Mr.. John w. Foster, late philos>

peace commission at Shimonoseki,
Japan, will receive, it is said, 100,>
900 silver Mexican dollars for his
services. Even with the discount

the fee will be quite a neat sum.
The probabilities are, therefore,
that Mr.. Foster would not object to

1t is somewhat strange how easily
man may graduate in the school
of politics. All admit that the sci>
ence OF good government is o most
difficult study, yet men who can
scarcely read and seldom do read
anything but one newspaper, can
tell all about the only way to run a
government. 1t takes a course Of
study, close every day study, under
competent instructors, for six, eight
or ten years to make man a math-
ematician, a linguist or an expert
in any of the sciences, and even
then he confesses his own LACK Of
knowledge, but just let man hear
a few political speeches, on his own
side too, and he knows more about
government than Jefferson or jack
son.

HOTEL RAYMOND GONE.
The Famous Pasadena Hosiery Was
Destroyed by Fire.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 16.-The
Hotel Raymond at Pasadena, ten miles
from Los Angeles, was totally destroyed
by fire at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon.
Not stick of the famous resort Is left.
The hotel was crowded with tourists,
but they all escaped with their lives,
although wardrobes and other posses
sions were entirely consumed. The
cause of the fire is not yet known. The
RAYMOND was one of the most famous
health and pleasure resorts i'll the
United States. 1t was very large
structure, built entirely of wood and
was located on a hill commanding a
valley.
In less than an hour after the fire was
discovered in the cupola at the south
west corner of the building the huge
wooden structure was level with the
ground, and the only thing left standing
to mark the spot was the tall brick
chimney of the furnace.
The fire was discovered at 1920 by a
boy outside, who saw a cloud of smoke
issuing from the windows of the cupola
on the fourth story. The alarm was at
once given, but the flames burst forth
before a drop of water could be
brought, and the strong wind, almost a
gale, which had been blowing all day,
carried the flames at an alarming rate.
There was no hope for the building
from the start.
There were about $50 guests at the
hotel, 100 of whom were members of
the Car Accountants Association,
whose special train stood at Raymond
station. The guests acted i'll an order
ly manner, and some succeeded in say
ing few personal effects, though most
of them lost everything i'll the building.
No one was injured seriously, but i'll
trying to save something few were
burned about the face and hands, and
one guest was well shaken up by jump
ing from the roof of the veranda. The
electric fire alarm was sounded in
each room as soon as the fire was dis
covered, and i'll less than ten minutes
every person had left, except a few men
servants, VINO UIlcu TO save Une UrIIlkS.
The hotel was supplied with fire appar-
atus, but no one remained to work it,
as the heat was too intense.
The hotel Raymond was built in 1884
by Walter Raymond, of the Raymond
Whitcomb Excursion company, which
has hotels in New England and Colo
RADIO also.
The cost of the building was almost
$500, 900, and the furniture cost $780,,
600. The building and furniture were
insured for 100000 in Boston, New
York and San Francisco companies.

number of prominent farmers of Walla
Walla and Columbia counties We're
summoned as witnesses, and testified
as to the cost of raising wheat, COM
pared with the cost of shipping it to
Portland. The case Of Milton Evans,
of this county, against the Oregon Rail
way & Navigation Company, was con-
cluded this morning. The case of II.
ID. May d Co., of Columbia county,
occupied the afternoon session. There
were a large number of prominent rail
road officials here giving testimony of
the conditions of their roads the in
debtedness, the cost of operating and
the gross and net earnings. The rail
roads are making a hard fight to retain
the present rate for freight. The COM
missioner concluded his labOrs late this
afternoon, and left on the regular train
for Portland. There is abundance of
evidence, and it will be some time be-
fore a decision is rendered. Among
the officials testifying today was 5. b,

NEW TORPEDO BOATS
A Boston Iron Works to Build
Three of Them.
THE OTHER BOATS AUTHORIZED
Secretary Herbert Has Given Sugges-
tions That They Shall BE Larger
Than Those Ordered Built.

Washington, April IS. - Secretary
Herbert today decided to award to the
Columbia iron works, of Baltimore, the
contract for building the three torpedo
boats. The firm was the lowest bidder
at S97 900 for each boat They will be
built on designs drawn by the navy de-
partment The competition for this
work was keen and brought out bids
from all parts of the country, and a
strong effort was made to secure a dis
tribution of the contracts and the ac-
ceptance Of original designs furnished
by some of the bidders. This last
proposition was referred to a special
board which reported, however, in
favor of the designs, but favored a dis
tribution so as to secure a faster but
more expensive boat proposed by the
Union iron works, of San Francisco.
The last suggestion was not accepted
by the secretary.
The department has been keeping a
watchful eye upon the performance OF
some of the new English torpedo boats,
which have attained the marvellous
speed Of twenty eight and twenty nine
knots an hour, and having disposed of
the contracts for three boats above re-
ferred to, Secretary Herbert has taken
up the subject of designs for the other
boats authorized by the last appropria-
ton bill. He has given suggestions
that these shall be no larger all around
than their predecessors, which are to
be of 1873 tons displacement and TWEEN
ty-four and one-half knots speed. The
new boats for which bids will be asked
later on will be of about $50 tons
This is 40 tons smaller than the fastest
the English have afoat, yet they will
be required to show a speed of twenty
eight knots per hour. In view of the
favorable terms secured for these three
boats, Just awarded to the Columbia
iron works, it is believed that these
three flyers can be built within the APP

WHISKY TRUSTS END
It's Property Will Be Sold to
the Highest Bidder.
BOTH FACTIONS HAVE CONSENTED
Judge Showalter, of Chicago, Says That
the Trust No Longer Has
Legal Existence.

Chicago, April 15.-The properties
of the whisky trust will be sold to the
highest bidder. Judge Showalter, of
the United States circuit court, in an
order issued today admitted that the
trust had no longer legal existence.
It's board of directors was charged with
having deserted its trusteeship; that il
had no quorum, and any election of a
new board would not enable it to reac
quire the property from the receiver.
The court directed that the receiver sell
the property, and that the proceeds be
distributed among those entitled there
TO-" The attorneys for the Greenhut
faction and for the stockholders con-
sented to the action of the court.
The bill upon which the order was
based begins with recital that the
last meeting of the board of directors
was held February l. Since the di-
rectors have abandoned their trust and
paid no attention to its affairs, it
claims, the sole management has been
in the hands of John McNulta receiver.
The resignation of Nelson Morris left
the board consisting of Greenhut, Ho-
BART Greene, Freiberg, Hennessy and
Beggs. April 8, the complainants aver.
Hobart, Greene and Freiberg resigned.
There are but three directors left, and
the bill alleges that they do not consti-
tute a quorum; that they cannot fill the
vacancies. The bill then recites that
the attorney general of the state by quo
warranto proceedings, attacked the
charter of the trust, and the courts held
that it was forfeited, and the issue is
now pending before the supreme court
of the state. The prayer of the bill on
which the order was granted by Judge
Walter is as follows:
THAT by an order entered herein the
said John McNulta may be appointed
receiver of all the property and effects
of said defendant company, and in
vested with full title thereto as receiv-
er, and that all of the officers, man
ayers, superintendent, agents and en-
plOyes of said defendant company shall
be required forthwith to deliver up to
such receiver the possession of each and
every part of said property, wherever
situated, and also all books and ac-
counts, vouchers and papers in any way
relating to its business or the operation
thereto, or an injunction to restrain each
and every officer, director superinten-
dent, manager, agent and employee of
said defendant from in any way inter
fering with the possession and control
of said receiver over said property, and
that at such time as may be found just
and proper, the property of said defend
ant may be ordered to be sold and the
proceeds distributed among those en-
titled thereto. -

STILL ANOTHER CURE.
An American Remedy for Consumption,
Lupus and Perhaps Cancer.

Washington, April Is. - United
States Consul-General de Kay, at Ber-
lin, believes that an American physi-
clan has discovered means of curing
consumption, lupus and perhaps cancer
In his report to the state department he
says the coming medical congress is
likely to give considerable attention to
the discovery made by DR.. Louis VALID
stein, a native of New York, which is
announced in a German medical paper
as the extraordinary action of minute
injections of pilocarpine, a chrystal-
lied extract from the Brazilian labor
andi plant, into the Emphatic system.
This acts favorably on patients whom
serum does not cure.
The key to the discovery is this: By
successive injections of minute doses OF
pilocarpine in the veins he arrives at
gradual stimulation of the Emphatic
system. That system increases while
cOrpuscules in the blood, in some way
not agreed upon certainly, overcome
and render harmless those poisonous
particles in the blood that produce dis
ease. The discOverer strongly advises
physicians to try pilocarpine in early
stages of consumption, and, indeed, in
all diseases involving the Emphatic
system. He has satisfied himself that
it forms a trustworthy test for the
presence of tuberculosis in an animal.
The report closes with the statement
that lupus of twenty-five years dura-
ton, regarded as incurable, was re-
lieved Immediately after the first injec-
ton, and is now almost healed.

Chicago, April 15.-City Controller
Witherell denies n sensational state
ment credited to him that the city fin
ances are about So, 900, 900 short. The
controller says the floating debt of the
city is about 100000, an amount
no larger than usual for some time past
at this season of the year. The tax in
process of collection is ample to much
more than meet it, Each year for sew
eral administrations the city has run
behind, and perhaps no more the past
year than any previous ones. As a re-
suit of the improved method under the
new administration of Mayor Swift,
now beginning, it i expected this will
be rectitied and the floating debt be
nearly, if not altogether, wiped ont.
