STRANGE DISCOVERY
Monroe Doctrine Has Been
Recognized by England.
RECORDS THAT GO TO PROVE 1T
In Going Over Old Papers the File Clerk
OF the House Found an Import
ant State Paper.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Public opin.
ion in Great Britain has changed in
the most wonderful manner since the
Monroe doctrine was first promulgated.
An unexpected discovery in the old files
in the house of representatives has
given to the state department valua
BILE state paper, with which Lord Sails.
bury's claim that the Monroe doctrine
has never been recognized by Eng
land, will be completely upset.
In going over the old records Walter
81. French, the file clerk Of the house,
discovered collection of clippings
from English papers, all bearing on the
message of President Monroe, in which
he gave to the world the famous docu-
ment which bears his name. The mes
sage was sent on the opening of con-
gress, the first Monday in December,
1923. The British papers without ex-
ception. commented on the message in
the most favorable terms France was
then contemplating conquest in South
America and Great Britain was prompt

notice to Continental nations that con-
quest in America meant war with the
United States.
Mr.. French's discovery has been
copied and sent to Secretary Oiney.
Members of the foreign affairs com.
mittee say that Mr.. French's discovery
is the most important made in the
matter, as it presents contemporary
evidence of the fact, which Great
Britain has since forgotten, that at the
time President Monroe's message was
delivered it was accepted, and even
welcomed as sound doctrine by the peo-
pie of England More than that the
newspapers then distinctly pledged
Great Britain to aid in the enforce
ment of the Monroe doctrine.

A Mothers Terrible Deed.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Jan. ia special
from Marysville, Kan, says the most
shocking event that has ever occurred
in Marshall county came to light early
this morning, when it was found that
Mrs. Joseph Hildebrant, six miles east
of Marysville, had poisoned her eight
children and killed herself. Seven OF
the children were found dead, and the
eighth is dying tonight. Mrs. Hide
brant administered the poison to the
little ones, and then took dose OF 1t
herself. She was evidently frantic
when the deed was done, and, unable
to wait for the slow poison to kill her,
she went to the barn and hanged her.
self. The children died during the
night in great agony.

A Temporary Measure.

Pittsburg Dispatch: The tariff bill,
while passed by party vote, is not a
party measure. No protectionist would
accept, as a tariff settlement, the
preservation Of the incongruities of the
Wilson act with 15 per cent raise.
1t ought to be recognized by the Demo-
Gratis that the acceptance of the Wilson
schedules, as basis for an increase of
revenue, is just what it claims to be,
a temporary measure to provide revenue
enough to stop the swelling of the pub
lie debt.

A Great Fraud.

Utica Observer: The ways and
means committee of the house of repre-
sentatives have undertaken very large
JOHN trying to palm off measure for
protection as a measure that COM
plies with President Cleveland's re-
quest. There has been no greater fraud
attempted on the American people. 1t
is peculiarly reprehesnible because it is
taking advantage of public crisis to
impose an unjust, iniquitous and re-
pudiated policy of taxation upon the
American people.

The promoters of the Oregon summer
school have formed corporation with
a capital of $40, 200, at 81 per share.
The objects of the association are to ad-
vance the standard and efficiency of
the teachers of the various educational
institutions of the state of Oregon.
1t is intended to maintain and con-
duct one or more schools and to provide
lectures and instruction on pedagogics
and the associated sciences.
The total population of Oregon is
about 37S, 900, gain of more than 100
per cent over 1885, and of Is per cent
over 1890. Between 1880 and 1890
the state increased at the rate of 70. 53
per cent. Increase has been more
rapid, therefore, between 1885 and
1896, than between 1880 and 1890.
On the other hand, the rate of increase
was greater between 1885 and 1890
than between 1890 an 1895. 1t will
never be as large again, because a
greater immigration will bear a small
er proportion to the whole. Oregon
gained 1884, IS per cent between 1850
and 1860 because the original popu
lation was so small that the immigra-
ton of that era exceeded it. The gain
of Is per cent between 1890 and 1895
is just about such as is shown by states
which are growing, but. not receiving
considerable immigration. New York
gained Is per cent between 1880 and
1890,

Dairy Notes,


The secret of success in the dairy is
to reduce the cost of making goods.
Have your COWS gentle by kind treat
ment if you want big returns in milk
and butter.
Study the nature Of your COWS and
fall in with their moods. 1t pays to be
agreeable, even to cow.
No business requires more emphatic
ally under ones thumb than does sue
cessful dairying.
1t is always advisable to make a
change of feed occasionally for the COW
in winter. It gives her increased
appetite.
Buyers ON the Utica board of trade
have decided to refuse to buy or even
handle on commission any cheese made
after the LIST of November.
After butter customers are secured,
the way to hold them is to always fur
nish as high grade Of butter as that
which at first won them as customers.

for dairy farmer who has not tested

BATTLE NEAR HAVANA.
Engagement With the Insurgents Near
the City Lasting Five Hours.

Engagement With the Insurgents Near
the City Lasting Five Hours.
Havana, Jan. 15.-At noon today
continued artillery firing was heard
south of Rincon, not far from Bejucal.
The town was attacked by insurgents
yesterday, but they were forced to re-
treat after battle lasting, it is
claimed, five hours, but, it is admitted
that the insurgents plundered stores in
the outlying streets of BejucaI, burned
many houses and destroyed the railroad
depot. Previously they had burned the
town of Salud, and partly destroyed
Quivican. They burned freight trains
and destroyed everything as they
pushed northward toward Havana.
This force of insurgents is the one
supposed to be commanded by Gomez,
although it has been insisted upon that
he is still in the province of Pinar del
Rio, and was in conflict with the
Spanish troops commanded by General
Linarez. 1t is believed an important
engagement took place.
Confirmation has been received from
the eastern provinces that the leaders
Rabi, Jose Maceo, Rivero and others,
at the head of strong forces of insur-
gents from the province of Puerto Prin-
cipe, believed to be much better armed
than any previous forces, and to have
been reinforced by filibustering expedi-
lions containing numbers OF Ameri-
cans, are moving eastwardly. ap-
parently with the intention OF rein
forcing the insurgents now operating
in the neighborhood of Havana.
Practically the whole interior OF the
island, from east to west, with the ex-
ception of the large towns, is in the
possession of insurgents, who have
burned everything combustible and
have levied tribut right and left, under
the very noses of the Spanish COM
manders, cutting down the revenue OF
the Spanish government, from Cuban
sources ahOut so per cent.

THE EMERGENCY BILL.
Comments of Leading Editors on the
New Tariff.

new Tar1n.
Philadelphia Times: The many and
various arguments against an increase
OF the tariff are reinforced by the latest
treasury statement, which shows the
revenues for the past six months to
have been $4,000, 900 greater than in
the corresponding period of 1894 and
the expenditures $4,OOO,OO0 less.
While refined mineral oils and their
products represent nearly fourth Of
this value, the increase in the exports
OF iron and steel, machinery, leather
and, manufacturers, china and glass
chemicals, silk fabrics, and several
other items, is even more remarkable,
showing conclusively the influence of
lower duties, especially ON raw ma
terial, in enabling American manu-.
facturers to enter the markets of the
world. This most valuable progress
the tariff proposed by the house of
representatives would abruptly destroy.
Guilty of Misrepresentation.
New York Times: This is a "gen-
eral tariff bill" Those who said in
the majority report of the ways and
means committee and on the floor of
the house that it is not such bill knew
that they were guilty of deliberate
misrepresentation. The bill changes
every duty in the present tariff, except
those relating to sugar, and it also
takes wool and lumber from the free
list. Why should any one deny that
such measure is "a general tariff
bill?" And SO the programme is
laid QUITO take wool from the free
list now, imposing the Mckinley
duties on the carpet makers raw ma
terial and 60 per cent of the McKin-
ley duties on clothing wool, with a
increase for woolens,
and to enlarge all the other rates by 8
per cent in 1897-98" to enact the
entire Mckinley tariff, or something
worse; subject all business interests
to tariff agitation during the political
campaign Of next year, and (if the
Republicans shall win at the polls in
1880 during the two years thereafter.
How do business men like this pros
pect?
Cannot Shape the Republican Policy.
Philadelphia North American: The
president cannot shape the policy of
the Republican party. He asks for
help, and he must expect help as Re-
publicans may see fit to prescribe it.
He will probably accept such help as
is foreshadowed by the house. Hav-
ing led the country into embarrass-
ments, the Democrats cannot expect to
be permitted to devise the means of
getting back to firm ground. They had
that privilege last year, and utterly
failed to rise to the level of the occa-
sion. None of the measures offered are
the embodiment of the policy Of the
Republican party. They are provided
for the emergency. are ..-ocely tern

A coal mine has been located about

It is a superior quality of coal and can

A COMPANY has been organized,
which has secured deeds,to gravel bars,

Bend to Salmon river. 1t is the object
of the company to construct a large

The report of Wells-Fargo & Com
pany gives the total mineral produc-

Of this production the gold was 3d.
521, 900; silver, 2,8O7,45 lead, 3d.
O26, $50. The difference between
Wells-Fargo's total and the assay Office
estimate is largely accounted for by
the different value per ounce of silver,
the mint using the coinage value and
Wells-Fargo the commercial price.
The difference, SO cents, amounts to
