TIE REPLY Il SPAN.
Sagasta's NOts Pacific in Tone and
Eminently Satisfactory.
The Abuses to Be Corrected The
United States Is Respectfully
Asked to Do All in It's Power to
Restrain Insurgent Sympathizers
in America.

washington, D.. c., November TO-
It is stated on good authority that Pre-
mier Sagastas reply to Minister Wood
ford's note, the full text of which was
read at yesterdays cabinet meeting, is
eminently satisfactory to this govern
ment. In it the Spanish ministry
pledges itself to correct the abuse of
power in Cuba which was the subject
of so much complaint during the Wey-
ley iministraticn, and gives assurance
of it's friendly feeling toward the Amer
lean people. 1t accepts our good Off
ces in its efforts to restore peace in
Cuba, and in perfectly respectful and
friendly spirit asks this government, so
far as possible, to restrain the insurgent
sympathizers in the United States from
giving material aid to The enemies Of
Spain in Cuba. The note intimates that
but for the assistance that has been
given them by filibusterers from the
United States, peace would have been
restored long ago.
The reply, it is stated, does not con-
tain a sentence that could give offense,
or be construed into an expression of
an unfriendly purpose or feeling against
the government of the United States.
On the contrary, the note is distinctly
conciMatory in tone, although insisting
upon the right and duty of Spain to
put down an armed insurrection within
its own territory.
1t is evident that the reply has made
a favorable impression ''pon President
Mckinley and the memoers~of the cabi-
net, and it is not unlikely that one Of
the features of his forthcoming message
will be discussion of the Cuban situa-
ton, from which it will appear that
there is nothing in the situation to JUS
tify present interference on the part Of
the United States.

There is very little being done in
the oil fields of the State at present in
the way Of drilling in new wells.
There are a large number of wells
drilling in all the fields, but none of
them are near the sand and probably
will not be until the latter part of this
week or the first Of next.
Affords well at Wilson Run has
been drilling 35 feet in the sand, and
the latest report received from it last
night was that it is as dry as f1ue.
Among the many wells due in the
Elk Fork field is the Henry Oil Com
panys No. 8 on the futile, Treat e
Crawford's No. on the J. F. Terrell,
and the Snider Oil Company's No. on
the d. Snider.
Despite the fact that the operators
here have been confidently expecting
a drop in the price of credit balances
during the past week, yet the market
seems to be strong, and so far the tai
ent has been pleasantly disappointed.

DEATH OF JAMES EGLIN,

CFrom Albany IIeraId, Jan. 3D.


Information was received from Cor
wallis yesterday that james Eglin, well
known In Albany, was believed 10
huve been murdered or drowned In the
Willamette river at that place. The
particulars of the affair point rather to
murder than that he was drowned, but
there Is mystery connected with the
case which may never be explained
Young Eglin, who was engaged with
his father In the livery business In
Corvallis, drove down to Albany Fri
day evening in buggy, bringing
drummer, who wished to come to this
city. "Billyn Williams accompanied
HIM In another buggy, bringing two
married women of Corvallis, who
wished to do some trading In Albany.
Their teams were put up in John
Schmeer's livery stable About 1890
they started home, one of the ladies'
going IN each buggy.
The particulars Of the tragedy as
near as they could be obtained from d
gentleman from Corvallis, who was in
Albany yesterday, are as follows:
The women were Mrs. Cosper and
Mrs. Smith, and were sisters. They
had Intended to 60 back to Corvallis
on the boat, but got left, but Mr.. Will.
lams asked Mr.. Eglin to allow one Of
the women to ride with him. When
they had crossed the ferry at Corvallis
and reached the saw mill, Mrs. Cosper,
who was riding with Mr.. Eglin, got
into the other buggy with her sister
and Williams drove them home. He
asked Eglin to wait there u few min-
utes until he came back. When he
returned he could see nothing of Eg-
lin, He then drove to the stable, ex-
pectlng to find him there, and when
he did not appear he drove back and
looked for him, but IN vain.
About A o'clock the missing team
came up to the barn without the
buggy, The search was then renewed,
and the buggy was found on Water
street near the electric light station.
1t was smashed up us If 1t had been In
runaway accident, but appearances
indicated that It had been driven
under u low shed so us to break the
top and lead to the belief that there
had been u runaway. When il became
daylight the tracks Of the horses could
be seen going down the street toward
the river. The tracks of man who
had been diving them were plainly
dscernible. The tracks led to the
river, and it looked as if Eglin had
been struck by some assassin and his
Body thrown into the stream. There
were marks down an embanktnenL ill.,
TO clump of willows which Indicated
that the body had been dragged down
to the water. His hat was found lying
ON the river bank, but the body had
not at late hour been found. Whether
robbery was the motive for the murder
is not known. Additional facts will
no doubt be forthcoming and will
throw some light on the affair and
may clear up the mysterious circum-
stances and explain how young Eglin
lost his life at the dead hour Of the
night Of that unlucky Friday.
The deceased was aged about 81, He
used to drive the stage between Alba
ny and Corvallis before there was a
railroad connecting the two towns,
and he was well known In this city.
He had a wife and child

THE BOARDS WORK FINISHED.
oregons Board Of Equalization Has
Completed Its Work, at the
Usual Heavy Expense.

The state board Of equalization for
the year 1896, says the Statesman, Is u
n thing of the past, its labors having
been concluded Dec. 80.
Twenty-Five counties were raised by
the board, seven were reduced and
three were left as returned by the
county boards--Columbia, Curry and
Lake.
The increase over the total valuation
OF property, as returned by the county
boards of equalization, is $9,4l4, ,849,
and Us equallzed by the state board the
net taxable property for the year 1896
is 81 S,475 less than for the preceding
year. The bulk of the increase in the
total valuation is in Multnomah coun-
ty, where an increase of S,964,065 was
made by the board.
The board before adjournment acted
upon number of resolutions. Mr..
Goodall, Of Union, who enjoyed the
distinction of being the only populist
on the board, presented resolution
recommending the amendment of the
law 80 as to have the board consist Of
five members. The resolution was
promptly tabled by vote Of 5 to3.
ID. ?, Thompson, of Portland, intro
duced Il resolution to abolish the board
and have the governor, secretary of
state, and state treasurer act as board
of equallzation-to equali2e the assess
uents ofthe counties for state purposes
only. This was defeated, Mr., Thomp-
sons being the only vote to support
the resolution.
Mr.. Thompson then introduced II
resolution favoring the reduction of the
expenses of the board and vote being
taken on its adoption resulted in tie
vote, and the opportunity the state
board had for going in for retrench-
ment practically by recommending
action by the Legislature looking
toward reduction in expenses was
lost.
The accounts Of services of the secre-
tary, clerk and messenger for extra
(night) work were presented and a
resolution offered that the same be al
lowed. This passed by an almost
unanimous vote, Thompson of Port
land, only voting against it. The total
bills of these officers are:

AT the beginning Of the session the
salaries of the secretary and clerk We're
fixed at 80 per day each, and that Of
the messenger at $l,50 per day. AT
that rate, the cost for the work would
have been $4O5, whereas, under the
splary resolution passed by the board
the last day, the cost for the clerical
aid is $67S.37, or $243, 3S more than was
agreed upon at the time the session
opened.

A short time ago some residence
buildings were loaded bodily and
transported in this way. The county
commissioners, however, have made
an order that no buildings shall be al
lowed to be removed until the taxes
upon them shall have been paid. 1t
was rumored that the holders of mu-
nicipal bonds would also Interpose
objection to the removal Of property,
but it is claimed that this could not be
done, although it raises an interesting
question which it might require the
courts to settle. 1t took the train one
day to reach Cheney and another to
get to Spokane Whenever a cut was
reached the train had to be halted
and the houses moved from one side of
