stroying the three structures.
The scene in the burning hotel was an
exciting one. Eli Stevens, a servant at

president of the London and Hull ASSo-
ciated Chamber Of Commerce, granted
an interview to a representative of the
Associated Press today on the outlook
of the Venezuelan question. After re-
marking that 1t was delicate and crit
zeal position. he said:
ut is deeply to be regretted that the
incident has imperilled both the good
will and trade, and even peace and COM
merce must in any case be more serious
ly Interrupted and injured just at the
time when prospects were improving
and business men were justly hoping
for better times"
He did not question the American at
tachment to the Monroe doctrine and
that it was sanctioned by cogent rea-
sons from their point of view. The
feeling which inspired 1t, however, he
thought was ineligible, but in the true
sense of the doctrine Great Britain
could not be said to desire any extern
sion of territory in seeking delimita-
ton in insisting upon recognition of
what she believes to be her just rights
by state greatly indebted to her for
the development of her public works.
He did not think 1t wise for Englishmen
to follow the example of many Ameri-
cans in attributing the action of Presi-
dent Cleveland merely to party and
personal motives. But he felt confident
that Americans generally would ulti-
mately realize that the course of Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Olney was
impetuous and imperious and had SER
| iously embarrassed even the most
peace-loving Englishmen. But he re-
| lied upon the good sense and CONNER
| cial instincts and interest of both peo-
pie to discover friendly and honorable
| solution.

A shot from an air gun in the
hands of Master Harry Wagon
er Wednesday afternoon came
near costing F. P. Sheasgreen's
little son, the loss of AN eye.
The boys were playing soldier
at the time, and when the acci-
dent occurred, it was a pretty
hard matter to determine which
one of them was the more scared.
Fortunately, the shot struck the
injured boy just below the eyeball
and inflicted only slight abra-
sion of the skin. Had the bull
let ranged a half inch higher
the result would certainly have
been serious. Parents ought to
discourage the use of such dan
gerous playthings as toy guns.

in the politics of your county and
whose success is source OF much
satisfaction to his many friends
here. His address was a strong
and forcefnl presentation of the
issues Of the campaign and was
frequently interrupted by ap.

= Hon. j. B. Irvine, who has been
before the people many times in
former campaigns, next addressed
the audience from farmers
standpoint, calling attention to
the many direct benefits derived
from protection as expounded by
our mighty leader, VIM. McKin-
ley. The frequent applause elic-
tied by Mr.. Irvine's address at
tested the appreciation of his
audience.
Three rousing cheers were Civ
ell for Mckinley and Hobart, and
also three for our Corvallis friends
who had made our last meeting
of such great interest. The Nc
Kinley Quartette sang again and
the audience recalled them. Af
ter the boys had responded, the
