feature about these alleged clerical
errors Is that they are confined ex.
cluslvely to congressional vote and all
against the POpulists.
Out OF fifteen counties in Quinn's
district, only eight have sent In com.
plete reports.
With seven counties Incomplete and
the county in the hands OF the bood-
lers, there is nothing to prevent the
Republicans manufacturing totals TO
please their fancy.
Whatever may be the result OF
the congressional contest the fact
remains and has been recognized all
over the country, that there were
large Populist gains in every county
in Oregon. The counting out of
these congressman will only serve
to strengthen the cause in Oregon
and elsewhere. The extent of the
PoPulist victory can only be est.
mated by comparison with the con-
gressional vote of 1894, when
the Republicans had a plurali--
ty Of nearly $4,000 in the state out
of total vote Of about $4,000. All
OF this plurality has been wiped out
and Populist plurality of about
1000 substituted. Owing to fac
tional differences it is reported that
there is possibility that Pennoyer
may be elected to the United States
Senate.

ed the nomination for congress in
the Third district. He was really
the only man mentioned in that con.
nection until the day of convention,
Mr. Allen, although an active Popu.

he got to Cherryvale he heard some
murmuring from delegates about
nominating a banker. Not because
they lacked confidence in Allen, bu,
for fear OF it becoming an elem emit Of
weakness among the people who did
not know him personally. He mag.
unanimously settled the trouble BY
taking the floor and nominating
Ridgely. He became the hero Of

Comment of the Paris Temps.

Paris, Dec. 9.-The Temps, com
menting on President Cleveland's mes
sage, says that il is worthy of his
administration, which has always
borne the stamp of honesty. Treating
of that part of the message bearing on
the Cuban question. the Temps declares
that the presidents attitude will satisfy
neither Spain nor the rebels, and ex-
presses doubt as to the efficacy of the
offer to guarantee the autonomy of
Cuba. Spain, it says. would never
think of agreeing to an arrangement
that would make the United States the
sovereign power in Cuba, while, on the
other hand, the insurgents will not be
satisfied unless the island is made in
dependent or annexed to the United
States. With reference to Venezuela,
the Temps declares that the settlement
of the question on the lines proposed
by the United States is triumph for
President Cleveland, but that it gives
IN unexpected extension to the Mon
roe doctrine.

VAS MACEO KILLED?
The Report Distresses Insurgent
Sympathizers in Havana.
NAY be A RUSE OF THE REBELS
ROyalists Jubilant and Major Cirujeda,
Who Is Said TO Have Killed the
Rebel General, Is the Lion
of the Hour.

Havana, Dec. 9.-After fight near
Punta Bravo, in which Major Cirujeda's
command routed rebel column in a
fight lasting all day, there was found
among the dead rebels the body of
well dressed man, on which there were
documents which lead to the belief
that the dead man was son of Maxi
mo Gomez. Among the papers found
was one which, written with lead
pencil, was confession that the writer
had committed suicide rather than
to abandon the body of Antonio
Maceo The war diary of Maceo
was also found. In it there is an
entry which says that rebels crossed
the trocha on December 4. 1t is con-
Guided from these circumstances that
Maceo was killed in the engagement
with Major Cirujeda's command. The
news of the death has caused the
greatest kind of a sensation in Havana.
The loyalists are jubilant. The rebel
sympathizers feel very respondent
over the loss of the rebel leader,
though considerable number of them
place little reliance on the truth of the
news. Though the Spaniards are con-
fident that Maceo is really dead this
time, some of the Cubans profess to
believe that the finding of the confess
sion and the diary was due to a trick
of the insurgents to delude the Spanish
into the belief that Maceo was killed,
while he pursues his plan of reaching
Gomez. Major Cirujeda is now in the
city, and it has been proposed to hold
a great demonstration in his honor. In
the cafes and all other public places
the Spanish residents are congratu-
lating each other on what they believe
to be a death blow to the rebellion
There is some ground for the suppose
ton that the report is not true. The
officials here declare that while they
believe that both Maceo and Gomez's
son are dead, they lack positive in
formation and are awaiting confrma-
ton of the report. This, however,
has had no effect upon the popular
jubilation, and Major Cirujeda is the
hero of the hour. 1t is also reported
that the rebel leader Valencia was
killed in Il recent engagement.
