An Insult To The White
People.

Daily Item.
The sugar planters began this
campaign with the boastful decla-
ration that no negro need apply.
The brother-in-black was cut off
at one swoop, and the resounding
applause among certain classes
was sweet music to the ear of the
saccharine baron.
The Item does not discuss the
wisdom of this policy from the
standpoint of practical politics.
But, having once adopted the
white line of battle, the Caucasian
breastwork should contain no
point of weak defense upon which
the Democratic enemy could make
a victorious assault.
Yet we find the sugar planters
at once admitting into their inner
councils Henry Clay Warmoth,
whose very names revives all that
| is detested in the days of rapine
and plunder Immediately succeed
ing the war. And, to further en-
phasize Warmoth's power in their
ranks, the lily whites elect j. B.
Donally, Warmoth's alter ego
chairman of the sugar planter
campaign committee, and thus
turn over to the Republican mar.
plot of 1868 to 1872 the entire
management of their campaign.
| The Item submits that thi'
thrusting forward of Warmoth ii
an insult to the white people o.
the State. They came forth from
under his rule once through th'
lforce of ball and bayonet, and nov
they will not tamely submit to be
ing again enslaved through tn
indirect agency of any alleges
oily white" committee, though il
its membership be the most dis
tinguished and lordly planters il
the State.
Warmoth must be sent TO tn
rear. His very presence in tn
ranks of the Mckinley element !
the State is worth thousands {
votes TO Bryan.
Let Warmoth 60, Messrs. Plal

The 'latabele Revolt.

CAPE Town, April 2.-The Matabele
revolt, according to advices from Bulu-
wayo, is now confined to the Matoppo
hills, where the rehellious Matabeles are
concentrated. The executive authori-
ties oftne chartered companies represent
that horses and an abundant supply of
arms, ammunition and provisions are
required ana when these have been col
lected it is proposed to sweep the hills
with several columns of troops of about
250 men each. Five mounted men are
accompanying Cecil Rhodes from Sails
bury to Gewelo.
LONDON, April PA dispatah to the
Central News, from Cape Town, says
that 1000 rifles were sent from Johan-
nesburg to pretoria on Saturday last
and, together with ammunition, were
issued on Saturday to Beers and rail-
way officials. This distribution of arms
caused the widest rumors, but the gen.
eral opinion is that the arms were given
out as provision against possible de-
velopments in the Matabele rising.

Affairs In Cuba.

This week has been one In which
the Spaniards have experienced re-
peated reverses. The biggest victory
yet of the Cubans was in the capture
of Pinar Del Rio large fortified city
in which were stationed G, 900 Spanish
troops, by General Maceo with 5000
insurgents.
The town was burned and the
Spainards completely routed. Since
the landing of the several filibustering
expeditions and the additions of men,
Maceo has taken the offensive. The
action of Congress this week in
granting to the Cubans Belligerents
rights will have wholesome effect
for the Cubans. Already numbers
are flocking to the Insurgent stan
dard. 1t will also cause them to be
recognised as soldiers and not as
banditti. The Government continues
to falsify the reports of the battles.
On Wednesday a committee OF
ladies of the city and the Bishop
of Havana petioned Weyler to par
don Jose Reque who was to have been
hanged yesterday.
Dispatches say that all the wires
west and south of Havana are cut
and no information is obtainable.
The sickly season is just beginning
and yet the hospitals are crowded
already.
Fearful times are feared when the
hot weather sets in permanently az
then typhus fever, small pox, yellow
fever and other dread diseases will run
riot among the unacclimated soldiers
of both armies, though of course Its
effect will be more greatly felt by
the Spaniards.

Pugillstic Encounters With Results.

MEMPHIS TENN. April 3.-At the
close of the Turrer-Clark prize fight
here Wednesday night it was known
that the latter had received terrible
punishment, but it was not regarded as
serious. Clark was taken to st
Joseph's Hospital yesterday, however,
and is not expected to revive. The po-
lice are on the lookout for Turner, but
he is believed to have fed the city.
Clark is a white. man and from Texas.

Train Wreckers' Work.

/ RICHMOND, Va, April ga mali
cious attempt at train wrecking was
made on the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac railroad this morn
ing. Train No 1, which leaves Ashlend
at 6 o'clock, was proceeding at quite
rapid rate, when, at Anchor; small
depot this side of Ashland, the loco
mntive struck large iron spike which
had been driven into the frog at tha t
point. The engine bounced about four
feet from the track, but owing to the
speed at which it was running passed
over the obstruction and carried the
train after it. The irons under the
engine, cab and on several of the cars
were broken, but fortunately none of
the cars left the track. The train was
at once stopped and the spike, or rather
the iron bar, which was about the size
of coupling pin, was removed and is
held by the railroad authorities. The
top of the pin was badly fattened, and
it is great wonder that the locomotive
was not thrown from the track. En-
gineer Frank H. Eubos of this city,
who was in charge of the train, was
quite badly injured internally by being
thrown violently forward when the en-
gine struck the obstruction.

Washington, April 6.-The House
to-day adopted the conference report
on the Cuban resolutions by u vote of
2A to ~; and passed the River and
Harbor bill under suspension of the
rules, after a lively debate Of forty
minutes, by vote of ZIG to 40.
The report on the Cubanresolutions
had been debated Friday and satur-
day and the vote to-day was taken
immediatelys after the reading of the
journal. Eighteen Republicans and
nine Democrats voted against the re-
port. After the most determined op-
position Of those opposed to the re-
cognition of the insurgents in the
Senate and House, there were but ten
more votes against the report than
against the original resolutions. The
former vote was 262 to II. By it's
action to-day the House agreed to the
Senate resolutions and disposed of the
Cuban question for the present.
Those resolutions were as follows
Resolved, That in the opinion Of
Congress, a condition of public war
evists between the government of
Spain and the government pro
claimed and for some time maintained
by force of arms by the people of
Cuba; and that the United States of
America should maintain strict
neutrality between the contending
powers, according to each all the
rights Of belligerents in the ports and
territory of the United States.
Resolved, further, That the
friendly offices Of the United States
be offered by the President to the
Spanish government for the recogni-
ton of the independence of Cuba

A smart coyote.

Mr.. Matthew Thorburn of Kingsley is
pestered with coyote which he believes
is gifted with reason. He finds it i'm
possible to poison it with the most cum
ming devices, and which never fail to
kill its comrades. He has poisoned
horse meat, mutton legs, etc., with
strychnine, which he used for bats and
with successful result except in one in
stance. There is one coyote that is too
cute to be destroyed. With great dis
cernment he avoids the poisoned por-
tions of the carcass and eats the sound
parts. If it happens there is good meat
adjoining or underneath the poisoned
bits, he does not hesitate to bite them
out, dropping them again to the ground.
Other coyotes have been poisoned after
ward with these discarded bits torn out
by the knowing one. Coyotes are
pretty smart animals as q class, but this
especial pet of Mr.. Thorburn's is con-
siderably more than shade ahead of its
fellows

corder. The girls were not arrested and
whether they are innocent dupes or not
is not known at the present time.
The body of Joseph G. Powell, the
medical student who disappeared three
months ago from his home in Portland,
was found floating in the river near the
o. R. & N. freight warehouse yesterday.
Around the neck of the body was rope
to which was attached stone weighing
twelve pounds. Powell was one of a
class in the medical college of the state
university who took the final examina-
ton last march, but failed to pass. He
was OF an extremely sensitive temporal
ment and, it is believed that brooding
over his failure to pass caused him to
take his life.

only a Partial success.

There was advertised for last night q
test with fire extingnisher on the va
cant lot near Ward, Kerns & Robert
sons livery stable. Part one consisted
in igniting a number of dry goods boxes,
filled with k1ndling and saturated with
Toll, pitch, tar and various highly inf1am-
mable materials. Part two of the pro-
gram is the almost instant extinguish-
ment of the devouring flames by the
acld-charged water, which is supposed
to entertain for fire the deadliest hatred.
Part one was decided success. The
flames ieaped to the top of the pile with
surprising rapidity, and the whole was
soon brilliantly burning with an inten-
sity equal to the most ardent desire.
The people who gathered to witness the
tree entertainment were delighted.
The fire part was splendid. Part two then
commenced. A man fearlessly stepped
to the fore, bearing a cylindrically
shaped copper receptacle with capac-
ity of only few gallons and having q
stream from it to the fire, but when the
contents of the extinguisher was ex-
hausted the fire burned almost as furi-
ously as before. Part two was faiIGre,
and if the merits of the fire extinguisher
were to be judged by the trial, the old
fashioned bucket brigade is a safer
agency to rely upon in case of fire.
However the sympathy of the audi
ence was with the exhibitor. He made
no spread-eagle speech about what he
could do. In tact he did not address
single word to the people standing
around him. He promised them moth
ing and he invited them not, and for
anything the audience knew he might
have been advertising in unique
fashion the dement's of his competitors,
to be followed tonight with trlumphal
exhibition of another make, of which he
has the honor to be agent.
Many in the audience have seen the
Babcock fire extinguisbers put out
blaze like that of last night in about two
seconds, and they were charitable
enough to excuse the failure of Part two
last night on the grounds of mistake
in the mixture.

by telephone, it being represented that
a special meeting was suddenly called.
Arriving at the church they were sur
prised by the door suddenly opening and
a large number of ladies appearing, who
crowded them into the Sunday school
room. The evening was consumed in
pleasant social converse, with the added
feature OF fine lunch. The object of
the party was donation, and many
valuable articles and fine contribution
were gathered together to present to the
minister and his family, for which they
were duly appreciative.

ST. MARY's ACADEMY.
The Excellent commencement Exer-
cises of Yesterday Afternoon.

Z Those present at the commencement
exeacises of st. Mary's academy, had a
treat not often enjoyed in our little city.
The artistic decorations of ferns and
flowers set off with rare elegance the
naturally pretty rooms. The stage,
with its organ and pianos, was banked
by tropical plants, and in it's general
tone of pink and white made a most
brilliant and artistic background for
the participants.
The opening overture from Lucrezia
Borgia, played by the Misses McInerny,
Brogan, and the graduate, Miss Smith,
was a fit opening to an elaborate pro-
gram.
"The Pleasures of Today with solo
by Miss McInerny and Miss Mamie
Johnson. and chorus OF thlrty-six
voices, was more than well executed.
After this came the greeting by Miss
Efie Wakefield, well com posed and well
delivered.
The French dialogue, showing great
purity of accent and most capable in
structor, was closed by song in French,
during which Archbishop Gross was
presented with a bouquet, thanks for
which he returned in the same language.
The well-executed rose drill preceded
one of Mendelssohn's beautiful songs.
rendered in German by ten young
ladies, which proved to be one of the
prettiest gems of the whole exercises.
We find it hard to refer adequately to
the graduates unusually fine essay. It
should have been heard by every dWeller
in our cliff bound city, and we regret
that the management were unwilling it
should be published in full. Miss
Smiths essay on Echoes from the
Cliffs,' referred to our own beloved city.
Speaking of the first Methodist mission
built here in 1888 near the academy
grounds, then of the Presbyterian mis-
sion and of the Catholic missions,
which started here in 1S4S and resulted
in our magnificent academy of the pres
ent day, she closed by referring to the
beautiful sunsets daily to be witnessed
on our own Klickitats, and then was
finished a most complete and interest
ing essay.
The Fantasia Brifliante,'' played
with twelve mandolins, three guitars
and two pianos, showed to advantage
the good work done in this institution.
"a Wonderful Invention by twelve
young ladies in costumes modern, medi-
eval and ancient, was most entertain
ing;
"The Minims' Troublesome Clock,''
by twenty-four little girls, was an extra
pretty selection for little girls and ex-
ceedingly pretty in it's rendition.
We cannot bring this report to close
without mentioning the cornet playing
of Miss Rose Mary Baldwin. Though
but young girl, she shows the musical
talent she naturally inherits from her
maternal ancestors. She displayed
much ability and sweetness in playing
and won admiration by her efforts.
Archbishop Cross address, which
was such as only he can deliver, closed
a most creditable entertainment, and
