PORTLAND or, March 14.-There is a
heavy movement in potatoes from Port
land to Missouri River points, an aver
age of ten carloads being sent each day.
These shipments are made possible by
the low prices ruling here, as a result OF
the oversupply in the country. There is
good demand for Oregon potatoes in the
East, and the movement will continue.

rise will Immediately check the business,
and the market Will fall back TO the un-

long.
The experiment Of shipping eggs East,
which was tried two weeks ago, proves
to be good thing for Portland. Two
more carloads of Oregon eggs will be sent
East in day or two. The local quota
ton was eight cents, but as the receipts
are growing lighter, and the market will
soon be relieved of the oversupply, an
advance may be looked for very soon.

Z. T. Huntington Has an Interview
With Secretary Smith.
WASHINGTON, March IA. = Coils P,
Huntington had an interview with the
Secretary OF the Interior to-day concern
ing the interests of the Pacific railroads.
Regarding the report that the Secretary
intends to issue an order directing that
no more patents for land be issued to the
Union and Central Pacific roads until
there has been settlement of the indebt-
ednes OF these companies, Huntington
represented to the Secretary that the lands
had all been earned, and that in many
cases they had been transferred to per-
SONS who had occupied them from ten to
twenty years. He also saiG that the COM
panies were not seeking patents in in
stances where the roads had not disposed
OF the lands, as they became taxable as
soon as the patents were issued. States
and counties i'll which the lands were sit
uated were more interested in securing
patents, as they became entitled to taxes
as soon as the patents were granted as
stated.
Further than this, the companies de-
sired to dispose of the lands to secure
money to meet the payments now about
due. Huntington thought that it would
hinder the company securing money on
lands If such an order had been passed,
and he represented that nothing overt
ought to be done by the Government to
prevent the company raising the funds.
huntington, however, did not consider
this of so much importance as he did the
question Of the settlement for the Pacific
roads debt, and he believed recommends
tions made by the Secretary of the Inte-
rior would have great weight in the next
Congress. He insisted that before 1897
the government must act or il would
lose heavily. Huntington expressed the
hope that the report of the Secretary and
Commissioner of Railroads would elabor-
ate on the subject of the Indebtedness and
advise just and equitable plan of settle
ment.

The Annexation of Cuba.

IT, as some of his friends assert Sec
retary Gresham's bold stand for Ameri-
can rights in the Allianca affair is
partly inspired by desire for the ulti-
mate annexation of Cuba. it will un-
doubtedly augment the general popu-

ity of such annexation. Not the least
Of the arguments in favor of that con-
summation Is opportunely noted by

Martin May Show Fight.

The Patriot is authority for the asser-
ton that David Martin has gone into busi-
ness for himself. He has given up all hope
of making up with Senator Quay and is
quietly setting up a political machine of
his own. Martin Is preparing for a fight
for control of the delegates from Penn
sylvania to the next national Republican
convention. He has already set up candi-
dates in many of the congressional dis
trictS and expects to have Il candidate in
every district in the state by the middle of
June. The movements of the Philadel-
phia leader are so carefully concealed that
they are known only to his most intimate
friends. But he is deceiving himself II he
thinks he Is fooling Senator Quay. The
silent senator knows exactly what Is be-
ing done by his former colleague and is
preparing to thwart his plans. Martin and
Senator Porter are back of the movement
for an early adjournment of the legisla-
ture Senator Quay does not want a
short session. He believes the people will
be satisfied if the legislature does not get
away before the first of June If the law
makers do their work well. Chris l.. Ma
gee is working in harmony with the
friends of Senator Quay. The Allegheny
leader has assured the senator that he
will stand by him to the last in his fight
against the Martin-Porter machine.

National Guard ArmOrics,

A number of prominent officers of the
National guard have been here during the
past week, advocating a plan to provide
armories for the various commands
throughout the state. Among them We're
Colonels Case and Ripple, Majors Keen
and Warman and Captain Louis r. Wall
ters, all of whom are members of the ex-
ecutive committee of the organization of
National guard officers formed here at the
time of the Inauguration of Governor
Hastings. one plan suggested was to
have the legislature appropriate $1,000 TO
each company, and then save the $500 an
nually appropriated for armory rent. As
there are 100 companies in the guard, how
ever, and but little money in the treas
ury, this plan was quickly given up as i'm
practicable. The other appeared in a
much more favorable light, however. 1t
Is merely to Increase the annual rent ap-
preparation from $500 to Si00, which would
allow the companies ito erect armorles
and pay interest on a mortgage at per
cent, the state to protect itself by taking
| title to the property. This plan would re-
quire an increase of only $500 in the an
| nual appropriation to the guard.

Cameron and the EutIrc.

1t Is authorltatvely announced that
Senator Cameron would like to have the
legislature adopt a resolution indorsing
his view on silver. During last week he
was visited by many members of the sem

his callers with his faith in the white

Quay are now in the south, and when they
come north in April Senator Quay will be
the guest Of Senator Cameron for several
days. 1t Is understood that this visit has
been arranged for the purpose of repairing
Senator Cameron's fences and starting the
campaign for reelection two years hence
Conferences will be held with all the
prominent members of both branches of
the Legislature, and 1t may be possible to
secure the passage of some sort of reso-
luton to put Senator Cameron in better
shape for the contest ahead. There Is no
question that he will be strongly opposed

Flattery with a String to 1t.

1t is unfortunate that any number of
Scrantonians should permit their anxi-
ETY. for a vacancy in the judiciary of
Iackawanna county. with its opportun-
tiles for partisan contention, to stand in
the way of this county's representa-
tion on the bench of the proposed new
Superior court. While the animus of
their selfish opposition to Mr. Wizards
candidacy is apparent, it is equally
clear that under present circumstances
the failure of that candidacy at Harris
burg would carry with 1t the failure of
Northeastern Pennsylvania to secure
representation in the new tribunal
In view of the fact that the proposed
court will be, for many cases, virtually
supreme court, operating as Il final
barrier to further appeal; and also in
recognition Of the additional fact that
among the cases over which it will have
ultimate jurisdiction will be many in
tricate ones from this section involving
technical knowledge of the mining in
dustry, we think it is conservative to
say that the failure of Northeastern
Pennsylvania to receive recognition in
the composition of the Superior court
would be at once Il public misfortune
and an injustice to the people. Are
those who now doubtless for partisan
reasons, fight Mr. Wizards candidacy,
over another gentleman's head, pre-
pared to face the consequences should
their factious opposition result in de-
priving the anthracite region of that
fairly deserved representation?
The insincerity of To- fulsome praises
of the distinguished president judge Of
this county which are now sounded in
the columns of an evening contempor-
AIRY, presumably as mask for its effort
10 breed dissension in the Republican
ranks, readily appear when we reflect
with what energy that now-hattering
newspaper sought last fall to depose
Judge Archibald in favor of a Demo-
crat. Less than five months have
passed since this uncertain organ OF
public opinion was repeatedly con-
demning the present object of its solici-
tude as one whom the voters of this
county should reject, in order that its
then favorite might step into office. The
impertlence of its present oily disre-
gard of this recent history should be
amply sufficient to antidote its poss-
ible mischief.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-03-19

is but a question of time when the
United States must take possession of
the Island of Cuba. 1t is not only
desirable piece of property, but 1t
naturally belongs to this country. 1t
would be worth fully $500, 100000 to the
United States. 1t would never do for
Spain to try to dispose of it to some
other nation, for the United States
would not permit such negotiations to
be consummated. The United States
should take early steps to acquire pos
session of Cuba, either by annexation
or otherwise"
"There is feeling in well-informed
his Washington correspondence to the
Chicago Times s-Herald, that the truth
about the present Cuban insurrection
Is only half known. 1t is believed the
Spanish government has exercised rigid
censorship over the channels of COM
munication, and has deliberately and
Systematically suppressed the truth. A
dispatch was published day or two
ago which indicates that the insurgents
number $4,000, and that they have
adopted a declaration of independence
If this be true, the movement is much
more important than Spanish authori-
ties would have us believe. They have
endeavored to convince the world that
the insurrection is paltry guerrilla out
break, and that the leaders of the move
ment are CHIEFLY bandits and profession
United States deny this, and declare
that the rebellion has a deep and firm
hold upon the people of the island" To
be sure. this rebellion is not primarily
our affair. but Spanish control over
Cuba must end some day, and the pres
ent would unquestionably be most
opportune occasion.
All things considered, it is probably
true that the government of the United
states cannot consistently give open
encouragement to the struggling Cuban
patriots; but there is absolutely no rea-
son why it should strain it's energies
trying to perpetuate Spaln's clutch
upon that island: and we have an idea
that If this revolution shall succeed, it
will be largely because of American
sympathy, money and brains, to which
annexation will come as a fair reward.
And now the story is that Lord Rose
berry. feeling somewhat restored in
health, will hang on to the premiership
of England few weeks or months
longer. This course would undoubt-
edly give comfort to the opposition,
which is by no means ready for a dis
solution; but it marks the sad turn of
a party that, once militant and united
is now mass of factions held together
by the merest thread which may at
any moment be snapped by one mans
indigestion or lack of restful sleep.

Secretary Gresham has reason to be
gratihed at the practically unanimous
approval which the country has accord
ed to his recent assertion of American
rights. The right action, in foreign
affairs, is rarely much criticized, which
may serve to enlighten Mr.. Gresham as
to the quality of his Hawaiian policy.
