EUGENE LOUD RETURNS,
He Speaks of the Good Work
Done by CALIFORNIA; Dele
cation.
Pending an Investigation, Congress
Will Make No Move Toward
Cuban Recognition.

Yesterday mornings Southern overland
train brought home Congressman Eugene
F. Loud, Republican member of the Fifth
Congressional District. He was met at the
Sixteenth-street station, Oakland, by his
daughter, Mrs. Csllundan, Captain Cal
lundan, ex-Supervisor Morton and a num-
Der of friends. His youngest daughter
accompanied him to Washington on his
last trip East, and returned with the party.
Congressman Loud is not inclined to
talk of his prospects of denomination. He
mentioned his possible candidacy, but
merely incidentally, and upon the ques-
ton being put to him overwhelmingly
replied:
''It depends upon circumstances. If the
people want me they will dou btless give
me another chance.
"Candidly," he continued, "politlcs
occupied my mind but little during my
stay at the capital. This sessions duties
were unusually onerouS, and the whole of
California s delegation has had its hands
full attending to business OF interest to
the Pacific Coast.
"You, perhaps, have noticed that the
slope has not suffered for lack of appro-
priations. We have Jared very well this
year The San FranciscanS, however,
have Deen too modest. They should have
pressed their claims for Government i'm
provement further
"For instance, more money should have
been applied for 10 better San Francisco
harbor. Oakland harbor is under the con-
tinuo1s contract law, and it can be seen
that the estuary is rapidly improving
under that system.
"My efforts in behalf of my second-class
postage bill took up deal of my time. |
conferred with the Press Association and
leading publishers, the papers being d.
rectly interested in the measure, and re-
ceived the support of all the leading news
papers in the country"
Congressman Loud did not believ that
Cuban war news was regarded as strictly
reliable in Congress. He said nothing in
the way of recognition would be done at
Washington until the investigation now
being conducted by this Government had
been productive of satisfactory results.
Further, he stated, information regard
ing Cuba has been difficult to obtain, con-
Trajectory accounts of engagements hav-
ing been the rule rather than the excep-
tion.
My choice for Presidential nominee,
said Loud, sis Reed, but as he appears to
be out of the race my second choice is Nc
Kinley. Reed is, in my opinion, the great
est statesman of the day, but Mckinley
appears TO be the spontaneous choice of
the people. 1t is the protection issue that
is carrying him ahead"
1t is rumored that Frank Powers and
both Austin and Rea of Santa Clara are
am bitious to return in LIQUIDS place.

THE OLYMPIC CLUB TEAM
Runners and Jumpers Who Will
Invade Portland Next
Week.
Captain Gill Says That the Mu1tnomah
Club Must Look to Its
LaurelS.
Or, is to be invaded by small

Portland, Or, is to be invaded by small
army of athletes
Leonard Gill, the captain of the Olympic
athletes, has selected frst-class team of
runners. jumpers, weight-putters, ETC.,
the members of which are now in splendid
condition.
Gill is truly happy man. He said last
evening that although his team was COM
posed OF only handful of athletes he ex-
pected to astonish the big guns of the
Multnomah Athletic Club in field and
track events.
II know there are some really good men
in the north,' said the handsome little
captain of the Olympics, "but they must
be first-class to hold candle with our
men. Here is Phil Wand, who can spike
100-yard sprint in 101l seconds, and who
can do 220 in 231l with an inch or two UP
his sleeve in case he may be pressed.
Then there is F. r. Butt, good strong
runner, who will surely do the 100 in 1873,
and who can fly over 81 feet of earth with
ease. Bert Coffin is Joe Dandy middle
distance runner. Bert can go the half in
2 minute $50 seconds, and if the day and
track are good he should negotiate
the quarter il 81 seconds. What's the
matter with that?
wv. q. Patterson is our high jump per. he
hasa record of feet 11M inches, but
understand they have sky jumper named
Kerrigan in Portland who can fly over a
6-foot bar. Possibly Patterson may loosen
up in the warm climate of the North and
tie the great Kerrigan at least l hope so,
Patterson is also first-elass hurdler, and
1t will take a pretty speedy sprinter to
show Patti his spikes from start to
! finish.
You can safely say that little Dave
Brown of Stanford, who is an old member
of the Olympic, will walk away with his
opponents in the mile and the half-mile
races.
"Edgren will certainly win the hammer
throw, and 1 viii DO my best TO lower the
coiors of my opponents in the sprints."
Gill said this with smile.
The Olympic team will leave this City
for Portland on Monday evening, The
games in which they will compete will be
held In the Portland Athletic grounds on
Saturday the 9th inst, under the auspices
of the Multnomah Athletic Club,
The entire empire of Persia has but one

Obituary..

Tuesday morning the sad duty OF
announcing the death of Benjamir
Hunting, devolved upon the Plain
Dealer. 1t is entirely befitting thai
something more than that brief an
nouncement be said of the man. He
was born at southampton. Long Island
December 4, 1888, his age being at the
time of his death 62 years Z months
and 3 days.
Whe l6 years of age he went upon a
cruise in the Northern Seas upon a
whaler, coming to Iowa some time
during the sos. He made an over
land trip to the gold regions of Cali
fornia, and later to the gold region vi
Colorado and Montana. At the break
ing out of the civil war in 1861, he
enlisted at McGregor, in company c.,
3rd Iowa Infantry; was in the battle of
Blue Mills, Missouri, at which ne was
wounded, resulting in the loss of an
arm, and his honorable discharge from
the army
In January 1866, at Eagle, Wiscon-
sin, he was united in marriage with
Miss Mary Thomas, who with three
children born to them survive him,
one, daughter, having died some
two or three years since. The surviv-
ing are William F., Mary Louise and
Frank.
With the opening Of the railroad to
Cresco, he came here representing the
great wheat purchasing house of Bas-
sett, Hunting & Co., upon our market
as long as that firm was in existence.
and for his business integrity was a
favorite among those patronizing the
Cresco market. Every person who
came to this market recognized the
tact that contract Of sale with him
meant that however much the price of
the article sold might decline, the ar
ticle contracted for would be received
and paid for at the stipulated price
without Il murmur.
For two years or more he has been
been in failing health, compelling him
to retire from the market something
moro than year since. His visits to
this office were frequent during his
long illness, and often did he allude to
his physical condition and his expect
ed exit from life, remarking some two
weeks since while in the office that
some morning he might awaken with
the great majority on the other side.
What he anticipated became the reali-
ty. On the morning of June 9TH Mrs.
Hunting found him breathing his last
as though peacefully falling to rest in
sleep without struggle.
He died universally honored, loved
and respected for his noble traits of
life and character, those who mourn
him being sincere in their grief.

The high temperature prevalent
during portion of the past week was
modified by more than the normal
amount of humidity and cloudiness.
and timely showers favored the rapid
growth of vegetation. The rainfall
was generally sufficient, and numer-
GUS localities report amounts much
above the seasonal normal.
The widely extended rains and
windstorms on the second and third

to oats and spring wheat by lodging
and rust wherever the growth of
straw is excessively heavy.
Corn has made fine progress in oil

The harvest of winter grain is prac-
tically finished; the cutting OF barley
is general. and in the southern dis
tricts the oats harvest is begun. Hay
making has been delayed in some To-
calities by cloudy and damp weather.
Hay crop generally heavy, but the
acreage is below the average of form
