a poll of the Elgin Watch company
showed the following result: Mckin-
lev sci; Bryan s. The poll was taken
by the superintendent and foremen.
An actual vote taken with great care
by fellow workmen In whom the men
had confidence gave the following re-
suit: Bryan 4S6; Mckinley 244; un-
decided 19.

ITO the Editor Of The Herald:
IAN article appeared in yesterdays
Paris Herald requesting that sub
scription be opened by The Herald in
Paris for funds to assist the political
campaign now going on in the United
States against the Silver party.
While agreeing in sentiment with
the gentleman who has so literally put
his name down for $780, Il do not think
it would be good politics for Amer
cans residing abroad to give such pub
licity to their feelings. 1t would only
serve as a campaign document which
the Bryan element would avail them
selves of to show how a certain class
of Americans prefer to spend their
money abroad instead of at home.
Those who feel so disposed can cas-
lily send their checks to the Republi-
can national committee, and their
money will be put where it will do the
most good. J. A. H.

BATTLE SHIP IOWA
1t is the Most Advanced Type Of
BattIe-Ship in the United
States Navy.
Re-affirmed That weyler Has Resigned
Spaniards Fire on an American ves-
sel-Illinois Has Another
Cyclone.

TACOMA. March 29.-If the rush to
Alaska continues much longer, and in
the same numbers as at present. armed
guards will have to be sent along on
all the steamboats,, to prevent the
homeless and penniless men from TAX
ing possession of the boats on their re-
turn trips, for hundreds upon hundreds
are going north who have not got one
dollar left, after paying their fare.
A passenger who has just returned
says that as the various boats lay at
the wharf at Juneau, there is con-
stantly guard kept over the gang
plank. to see that nobody goes aboard
unless he is knpw to have local busi-
ness or is possessed of return ticket.
This action has, he says, become nee
essary, on account of the great number
of men who try to stow away. so as to
get south. This gentleman warns any
one not provided with money or COM
plete outfit to stay away from Alaska.
He says that for every position in
Juneau or Sitka today there are 25
men or women applicants.
Alaska, he says, has not been over
rated. but the trouble is it is such
new country that the sudden immigra-
tion of such large numbers of people
have made it impossible TO provide for
their care. AS there is neither farm
ing nor manufacturing. unless one
goes to that country fully prepared to
mine on his own hook, or has an en-
gagement with some company, or is
grubstaked, he will almost invariably
find himself stranded at the begin
ming of his journey.

Lumber rrust a success.

Members of the Central Lumber
Company, in this city, say that the Or
gauization went into effect on the 18th
of March, as was intended, and the
members are now working under its
rules. The Oregon Pine Lumber Com
pany yesterday received large order
from San Francisco under the new
scale of prices established by the COM
pany. Such an extensive concern is
difficult to get started and working
smoothly. but all the members
are satisfied with the arrangements
and those who have stayed out long
est are the best pleased after COM
ing in, and look upon the organization
as the salvation of the lumber business.
Under the arrangements the shipments
of lumber from this port have been
greatly increased. The o. z. L. Co.
has shipped over 100000 feet during
the month, and six vessels are now
loading. and more are on the way
here.-Oregonian.

Successfully Placed in the Water at
Cramps Shipyard.
PHILADELPHIA, March 28.-The
launch of the battle-ship Iowa from
Cramps shipyard today partook more
of the nature of national event than
any similar one since Mrs. Cleveland
christened the st. Louis. nearly two
years ago. Vice-President Stevenson
headed the delegation from Washing
ton, which included Secretary of the
Navy Herbert. Attorney-General Har-
mon, Secretary of Agriculture Morton,
and large party of senators aud rep
resentatives. The Iowa party was led
by Governor Drake, whose daughter,
Mary Lord Drake, broke the bottle of
champagne over the vessels prov and
gave it its name.
The Iowa will be, when completed,
the most advanced type of battle-ship
in the United States navy. The ap-
preparation provides that the vessel
shall cost, exclusive of armament and
speed premiums, not more tran 81, ,000.-
000." The Iowa will be formidable
battle-ship. The following are her
dimensions: Length on load water line.
$50 feet; extreme bredth of beam, "
feet: displacement at normal draft, H.
296 tons; freeboard forward, "a feet
The Iowa will have engines with
maximum indicated horsepower of H.
600, and she will be able to steam more
than 16 knots an hour. She will be
able to carry 1000 tons of coal, and
her crew will consist of 436 officers
and men.

horse worked for Ben Holiday years
ago when that noted individual was
constructing Oregon railways, says the
Pendleton Tribune. This old animal
is employed on Mr.. Boyce's farm, at
Echo, and recently got SO "coltish"
that the hired man positively refused
to work him.
Theatre goers of this city may well
look forward to grand treat on the
evening of April 9th, the date on
which "The Confederate Spy" will be
rendered by the Home Dramatic Club,
assisted by Prof. Rasmus. The play
is one OF the most thrilling plots ever
produced, and the well-known ability
of the Dramatic Club to please an aud
fence is sufficient guarantee that the
entertainment will be worthy of un-
limited patronage.
The Dalles needs manufacturers and
wholesale houses more than anything
else. Already there is in the city
Wholesale liquor store conducted by
Messrs. Stubling & Williams, at which :
liquor dealers throughout the country
are supplied at Portland prices, thus,
leaving the jobber's profits here.
But there is an opening for wholesale
houses in other lines. There should
be located here jobbing houses in
groceries, hardware and agricultural
mp. ements.

CRISIS NEAR AT HAND.
Province of Havana Swarming With In
surgents

Province of Havana Swarming With In
surgents.
KEY WEST, March 30.-(Sent from
Havana March % to avoid press CEN
sorship)-Twenty-fve thousand insur-
gents under General Maceo are
swarming over the provinces of Ha-
vana and Pinar del Rio destroying
property, ripping up railways and
tearing down telegraph lines. Forty
five Thousand Spanish soldiers are in
the same territory, and more are COM
ing.
General Maceo is in immediate COM
mand of the center column of rebels
with about 5000 men. General Maceo
Is in the southern part of of Havana
with about 5000. and General La Crete
is lowering about the outskirts of Ha-
vana with about 5000 cavalry. The
other 1000 men are divided into small
bands of pillagers. The insurgents
are well-equipped and have plenty of
ammunition, and are capable of giving
the soldiers warm reception.
The activity noticeable about the
palace of General Weyler seems to
bear out the idea that crisis is near
at hand.

HAVANA, March 81, via Key West,
Fla.-The fight at Candelaria between
the forces of. General Linares and
Colonel Suarez Ynclan on one side.
and those of Antonio Maceo and
Perico Diaz and Quintin Bandera on
the other. has been heralded in the
usual flamboyant official dispatches as
a famous victory and Ynclan and
Linares were promptly scheduled for
promotion. But ever since the fight
carloads of wounded have been coming
into Guanajay and Havana. and it is
gradually leaking out that at Candel-
aria one of the most serious Spanish
disasters of the entire war occurred.
A Spanish officer said last night
that their losses were 423 men killed
and wounded, and that Maceo cap
tured one piece of artillery after hard
fighting.
Persons familiar with the Spanish
official report suspected this when the
report admitted that the artillery men
had to defend themselves with their
carbines. This means that the insur-
gents fought the artillerymen hand to
hand. Thirty-eight artillerymen are
reported as among the killed and
wounded, and it is now said that the
gun casisons and ali the Spanish artil-
lery and ammunition fell into Maceo's
hands, Ynclan and Linares barely
saving their commands from arnihila-
Lion.
The insurgent loss was very heavy,
but not nearly so heavy as the Span
ish.
Colonel Frances, who commanded
in the "ecent tight at Cayajabos, is
about to return to Spain. One re-
port is that he is ILL., Another saws
that the management of the Cayajabos
fight was unsatisfactory to the COM
mander-in-chief. General Correll has
already sailed for Spain. Illness is
given as the cause.

Several Changes.

It seems probable that the o. r. &
N. will run The Dalles local train
through to Pendleton. although there
is nothing definite about it. Certain
it is that, as soon as business war;
rants, the company will make this
change. Another change contem-
pleted is the running of the local
train from Wallace through Spokane.
At present, the train runs on the
branch only from Wallace to Tekoa.
And it will be run to Tekoa and on to
Spokane. That the changes 5ereto-
fore spoken OF will take place is about
certain, as officials are now in Port
land figuring on new time card.
Nothing more definite can be given

The Reyolt in south Africa

CAPE Town, March 27.-Dispatches
from Bnluwayo and Matabelle Indicate
that the uprising in that part of the
colony is very serious. The disturb
ance is widespread and becoming
hourly more alarming. The revolt
may spread to other parts of South
Africa. Natives are raiding the farms
and killing white settlers in the Mat
epo hills. Rumor has it that over so
have been slain.

WeyIer Is Disguised.

NEW YORK, March pa World
dispatch from Key West says: The
Morgan line steamer which arrived
from Havana today reported that it
was stated semiofficially in Havana
that Captain-General Weyler, in spite
of all stories to the contrary, had be-
come disgusted and rendered his resig-
nation, because things are in bad shape.
It-was an open secret in Havana, that
owing to this determination to resign
and the seeming determination of the
United States to recognize the bel
ligerency of Cuba, all parties have
come together in Madrid and the
prime minister of Spain will resign to
accept the captain generalcy of Cuba.

Husband neglected. Her.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30.-As
John Martin, the driver of the patrol
wagon, was sitting in the wagon in
front of police headquarters, at the
city hall today, his wife came up be-
hind him and shot him three times
with a pistol. One bullet passed
through Martins body, and he will
probably die.
Mrs. Martin gave as reason for the
shooting that MarGin had not been
home for several nights, and last night
was drinking hard. She added she
was tired of.his neglect and determined
to punish him. She shows no regret
for the shooting.
