Many large care fires are reported all

manded by Capt. Huertas, two ser
gesnts. corporal, 100 soldiers and
about so volunteers. The insurgents
fred on the fort from all sides, thrust
ing their guns into the very loopholes

urer and Secretary OF the Sinking
Fund Commission.
The commission had about S173, 600
loaned out in 30 days time on tebru-
ary l. These loans, it is said, will be
at once called IN. As will be seen the
holders of State bonds will still have
the preference on loans and the coun
ties can borrow whatever is left.
Barnwell has asked for a loan Of
$1,000; Williamsburg for 5000;
Georgetown for $500, and Oconee
Tor 50, 500. York and Richland wish
to borrow some, but have not yet stat
ed how much. Aiken wants to bor-
row $1,000 for ordinary county prr-
poses and has written asking if size
will be allowed to borrow S., ,0O0 more,
pledging the special tax OF 1-6th OF a
mill levied for six years for the pUr-
pose Of eracting new court house.
lnasmuch as no loan can be made for
longer than one year it IS safe to say
that Aiken cannot get this St, 900.
a meeting OF the commission has
been called for March 30 TO consider
all these matters. It will no doubt be
attended by all the memberS.-State.

DEPEW IS ALARMED.

Chauncey M. Depew, who is one of
the shrewdest republican politicians
in New York, and about as far seeing
as any man in the United States, is
alarmed at the result of Tuesdays
election. He sees nothing of encour-
agement in it for the republican party
and is alarmed lest the party shall lose
control in the state and nation. He
insists that something must be done
to fill up the breech that has been
made in the republican ranks, and
suggests immediate financial legisla-
tion. In an interview the next day
after the election he said;
"The election issue In New York
has no national significance, but with
an alarming falling off of the re-
publican vote in the state, with heavy
losses in New Jersey, Ohio and other
states, the republican party is con-
fronted with the incontrovertible
truth that Bryan and bimetalism are
not dead. 1t warns them that they
must take steps at once, and quickly,
to settle the currency question beyond
any hope of reopening it,"
Mr.. Depew suggests rather heroic
treatment to cure the ills of his party
"to settle the currency question be-
yond any hope of reopening it"-but
much depends on how it is settled, il it
is to be of lasting benefit to the repub-
licans. If it is settled on lines out
lined by Secretary Gage, which Mr..
Depew endorses, the retirement of all
credit currency, the issuance of inter-
bonds to take up the green
backs and the foundation of all cur
rency on gold basis. it will be learned
that Bryan and himetalism are more
alive than ever. There is, indeed,
cause for Mr.. Depew's alarm, for the
people last Tuesday, wherever given
IN opportunity, expressed their disap-
proval of the legislation already en-
acted and that proposed by the repub-
lican administration.

Future of the Kansas Pacific.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-In discuss
ing the proposed sale of the Kansas
Pacific road on December Is, and the
assertions that the government will
bid in that property, which have been
aired by the sale of the Union Pacific,
Attorney-General McKenna said:
"The ownership of the Kansas Pa
cific is part,of the committees scheme
of reorganization. The members hold
lieis similar to those of the govern
ment. They cannot make them good
except by the ownership of the road.
Besides that, they are owners of the
first mortgage. They must bid, to
make that good.
''But suppose the committee does
not bid; others will-the government
may. Does any sane business man be-
lieve that the reorganization commit
tee will let it be sold for SIS, 400 ,O0Os
when it will pay per cent on nearly
twice that amount, per cent on nearly
$S,0O0,0 900 more than that amount,
owning, as the company does, liens
junior to that of the government, and
which in such event would be total
loss? Would not this policy to use
homely expression, be cutting off
ones nose to spite ones face?'"

THE NATION'S LOSS.

In the death of Henry George this
nation has lost a great thinker, Great
or New York man, who, If elected
mayor, would have given that great
metropolis an honest. conservative ad-
ministration, and the laboring man
has lost his best friend and staunchest
supporter.
Henry George probably had what
some termed "wild IDEAS" but even
with all his isms, he was honest of pur:
pose and conscientious in his acts. He
stood for higher standard of morals.
equality and justice for all men, and
an opponent to special privileges and
favoritlsm. lie had the confidence of the
masses and n1erited it, for he never al.
lowed the hope of position or reward
to supplant principle. Henry George
was one who rose from the humblest
walks Of life to position where he
commanded the respect Of the world,
and those who opposed him most Bit
terly are ready to grant him homage,
for in him they recognized the noblest
works of God-an honest man:
Had he been permitted to live to q
ripe old age, the world would have
known him better, and accepted his.
theories more kindly for right and
justice will eyer prevail, and those like
he, wke put principle above money
cannot but win an enviable place in
the worlds history.

ception. There is is no more corrupt
boss rule or political clique in the
state than that managing the schools
of the metropolis city. The schools
are conducted, not in the interest of
education butin the interest of the
American Book Co. and a few favorites
OF political bosses. There will be q
wedding out some of these days.
That there is not absolute harmony
in the republican ranks of Oregon is
quite evident from the grumbling that
is heard about the appointment of
Judge Hall to be U. S. district attor-
ney. The Corbett wing of the party
don't like the appointment one bit,
and they are not slow to display their
displeasure. Evidence accumulates
every day that the republican party in
Oregon is hopelessly disrupted and can
not be harmonized.-
American machines Of many kinds
are making their appearance in Eng
land. A London trade journal says
they are found in the English factories
devoted to boots and shoes, soap, rub.
ber, bicycles and paper boxes. Ameri.
can printing presses, typesetters and
typewriters are common in England,
and steel rails are going forward by
ship loads. Our agricultural machinery
alsois admitted to be superior to any
other, through the decline of agricul-
ture in Great Britain limits its appli-
cation in that quarter. -..... .

Cubans Are Active.

NEW YORK, Nov. "A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
The insurgent troops in the field are
very active. On October 80 the Span
iards sustained the most severe loss
they have met for some time. On the
borders of Matanzas province General
Molina was defeated by the insurgents
under General Betancourt. General
Molina was on his way to Havana with
a brigade of troops to participate in
Blanco's reception. At Aguacate he
heard the rebels were encamped in
Purgatory hills, and broke his march
to attack them. The fight was long
one, and the Spanish loss was large.
He was finally forced to retreat.
In Pinar del Rio province the rebels
under command of Captain Lorr at
tackled convoy that left San Cayetano
and captured a large supply of cloth
ing and ammunition.
A report apparently well-founded, is
current in HaYana to the effect that
Holguiu has been captured by rebels
under General Cebreco. That it has
been attacked, and that IS Spaniards
were killed is admitted. but capture is
denied.
A million dollars in paper currency
has mysteriously disappeared from the
treasury here. The money was intend
ed for-the payment of the navy and the
troops. This fact, coupled with an at
tempt to deprive the army and navy of
their pay for the months of April, May
and June is causing great Indignation.

SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS.

A writer in the Los Angeles Times
calls attention to the amount of scien.
tiic research which is done by Ameri-
can universities aud colleges during
the vacation season each year. He
says that during the past summer
nearly every leading university had an
expedition out, and that together they
covered large part of the world, from
the Arctic circle to far below the
equator. Columbia university sent
out The largest parties, fifteen profes.
sors and students going to Puget
Sound and Alaska and other parties to
different sections. Stanford univer-
sity was represented by Professor Jor-
dan and his party on the seal islands
in the far north, and also by an ex-
pedition on the south coast. The uni
versities of California and Harvard
haye also been doing good work on
the coast of Mexico. The university
of Chicago had archaeological explorers
in Mexico and Peru. while Princeton's
principal work for the reason was
in New Mexico. The Cornell geo.

searches in Colorado, and the party

UNFORTUNATE IF TRUE,

The Oregonian In undertaking to
free itself of the responsibility OF being
or attempting to be political boss in
republican politics'in this state, puts
that responsibility upon the Mitchell
republicans, "whose leaders at Port-
land-Hirsch, Hume, Rall .Lotan and
Dunno and ell,himself"-it says.
"are the bosses in fact. The delegation
in congress is the mere tool of these
bosses. ard principle for years has
been trampled under foot by them in
their effort to control the politics of
the state and to divide the offices and
spoils.'
This is pretty broad assertion and
a serious charge to make against the
representatives in congress. To say
that they are the tools of clique that
has only an interest in dividing the
Offices and spoils" is saying that they
are no longer the servants of the
people or the representatives Of the
state. If this accusation is true, Or
egon's two representatives and senator
have sunk to the level of New York
politician or ward striker; they have
fallen below the dignity of congress-
men and senators. But even if such is
the case, the esonian is in an unen-
viable position for it has ut different
times supported every one of these
gentlemen for different positions and
aided in their election. 1t helped
make Mr.. Mcbride secretary of state,
which was stepping stone to the sem
ate. In 1894 it advocated che election
OF Mr.. Ellis, and last year sung the
praise of Tom Tongue, holding up as
a model Of perfection viewed through
gold standard and protection spec
tacles. So if the delegation is mere
tool in the hands of Messrs. Mitchell,
Hume, Hirsch & Co., the Oregouian
must bear part of the responsibility
for the state being thus disgraced, and
should makes public apology to the
neODle
