WASHINGTON, May President
Mckinley today sent to congress mes
sage recommending that an appropria-
tion of $1,000 be at once made, for the
relief of destitute Americans in Cuba,
and the removal to American soil of
such as wish to come bnt are without
means to make the journey.
In accordance with the presidents
recommendation, the senate passed
without division a resolution ap-
propriating $4,000 for the purpose
specified in the message.
In the house similar resolution was
presented, but Bailey of Texas objected
to its consideration without an amend
ment embodying Senator Morgan's
resolution to recognize the belliger-
ency of the insurgents. The resolution
was thereupon sidetracked.
The cabinet also considered the Gu
ban matter today at a special meeting,
and indorsed the recommendations of
President Mckinley regarding relief
measures.
The presidents message to congress
was as follows:
''To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States
"Official information from our con-
suls in Cuba establishes the fact that a
large number of American citizens in
the island are in state of destitutiop,
suffering for want of food and medi-
cines. This applies particularly to the
rural districts in the, central and east
ern parts of the island, The agricul-
tural classes have been forced froin
their farms into the nearest towns,
where they are without work or money.
Local authorities of the several towns,
however kindly disposed, are unable
to relieve the needs of their own peo-
pie and are altogether powerless to
help our citizens.
"The latest report from Consul-Gen-
eral Lee estimates that from 600 to 800
Americans are without means of sup
port. have assured him provisions
will be made to relieve them. To that
end, recommend that congress make
an appropriation of not less than $780,
600 to be Immediately available for use
under direction of the secretary of
state. 1t is desirable that part of the
sum which may be appropriated by
congress should, in the discretion of
the secretary of state, also be used for
the transportation of American citi-
zeus, who, desiring to return to the
United States, are without means to do
so. WILLIAM MCKINLEY,
Executive Mansion, May II, 1897"

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.@Theodore
Durrant, through his attorneys, will
ask Governor Budd today to pardon
him, on the ground that the real muir
derer of Blanche Lamont has at last
confessed his crime. The lawyers de-
clare that they have not been hoaXed,
nor is it their purpose to impose on the
executive. They insist that in the
person of John Rosenberg, a convict
at San Quentin prison, they have dis
covered the man who is guilty of the
horrors in Emanuel church.
John Rosenberg has made sworn
confession before notary public and
in the presence of several witnesses
that he killed Blanche Lamont at the
instigation of stranger, and in con-
sideration of the payment OF S7OO for
his bloody work. 1t is with this sensa-
tion that the attorneys will strengthen
their case at Sacramento today.
The story and it's details is one of
the most remarkable that has de-
veloped in the case. Rosenberg is a
Russian sailor, and arrived here on a
sailing vessel from Hamburg during
the last week of March, 1895, or on the
first day of April. He is now serving
a term for horsestealing, and appears
to be sane.

VISIT OF TIE sACHEMS.
Nineteen Hundred People Were Guests of
The DaIIes For "a Day.

The excursion of the Past Sachem,
Association from Portland to The
Dalles Sunday was one of the largest
| that has ever gone out of the metropo-
lis of the Northwest and was by far the
largest excursion that has ever come
to The Dalles. The first train of I3
cars arrived here at 1890 and the
second with II cars came in 10 minutes
late, every ear loaded to its fullest
capacity. The first train carried the
Sachems Association and their ladies,
and was met at the Umatilla House by
the local tribe with The Dalles concert
band The guests of the Red Men
were escorted to X. of P. hall where
they were received by the tribe and
were supplied with such refreshments
as ice cream, cake and lemonade, some
800 ladies and gentlemen accepting the
hospitality of Wasco Tribe.
The second train carried a crowd
who were simply out for days en-
joyment, and when they alighted from
the cars, scattered broadcast over the
city, taking in what sights were to be
seen. Many of them had brought
their lunch baskets, and these were
conducted to the high school grounds
and Academy Park where they were
refreshed by partaking of the contents
of their baskets, while others sought
refreshments in the different hotels
restaurants.
The dav was an ideal one, being not
too cool or too hot, and the visitors
enjoyed themselves nicely tramping
over the city until o'clock when the
rain began falling and drove all under
shelter. They congregated in the
depot and hotels, under awnings and
in fact in all places affording shelter
until the time for departure COM, then
in drenching rain, boarded the trains
for Portland.
A considerable crowd was attracted
to fair ground to witness the ball
game between the Willametts and the
local team, which proved to be one of
the best games of ball ever played in
the state, resulting in score of-six to
four In favor of the visitors.
That it was day we'll spent, and
was heartily enjoyed by. all was the
expression of everyone who
was here. All felt that the trip up the
Columbia was far more pleasant than
the excursions they are accustomed to
up the Willamette valley, and when
ever in the future they desire days
outing they will visit The Dalles and
partake Of it's hospitality.

The Washington Monument in PhiladeI-
phia Dedicated.
PHILADELPHIA. May 15.-In the
city which placed on his brow the
laurel crown of achievement, the mem
ory of George Washington was honored
today in monumental bronze. The
cord which released the saddling flags
from the figure of the first president
was drawn by the country's latest ex-
ecutive. Surrounding him were men
patriots who battled shoulder to
shoulder with Washington, and with
him made possible the scene enacted
! today.
1t was notable gathering, including
the president, vice-president and cab
met officers, officers and privates of the
| army and navy, and the direct des-
cendants of the molders and makers of
the nation.
The president, with uncovered
head, drew the cord. The flag fell in
bilIowy cloud from the shaft, and the
mighty monument stood revealed,
while cannon on laud and water thun-
dered. In moment it was oyer. The
president was escorted back to the
stand and as soon as silence could be
secured, he made an address. He said
in part:
"Fellow-citizens: There is peculiar
and tender sentiment connected with
this memorial. 1t expresses not only
the gratitude and reverence of the liv-
ing, but IS a testimonial of affection
and homage from the dead. The COM
rades of Washington projected this
monument. Their love inspired it.
Their contributions helped to build it.
The past and present share in its COM
pletion and future. generations will
profit by its lessons. s--z-.ss
"To participate i n the dedication of
such monument is a rare aud precious
privilege. Every monument to Wash.
ington is a tribute TO patriotism. Every
shaft and statue to his memory helps
to inculcate love of country, encourage
loyalty and establish better citizen
ship. God bless every undertaking
which revives patriotism and rebukes
the Indifferent and lawless."

GREEKS REoCoUPY ALMYRos.
Turks Had Evacuated the City and Moved
Toward Pharsala.


ATHENS, May 14.-Advices from
headquarters of the Greek army at
Domokos announce that the Turkish
forces executing movements which are
believed to foreshadow an attack upon
the Greek position. It's reported the
Turkish left wing have evacuated
Almyros, and is moving toward Phar-
sala, to the right of the rear of the
place.
General Smolenski, commanding the
Greek right wing, has reoccupied
Almyros, restoring telegraphic COM
munication with Greek headquarters.
Unless the rearward movement by the
Turks is the result of the action of the
powers, it is believed to indicate that
Edhem Pasha is again concentrating
his troops preparatory to making a
general attack upon the main Greek
stronghold.

No Demonstrations at Headquarters OF the

New YORK, May 17.-There was no
excitement manifested today at the
headquarters of the striking tailors.
William Cohen, business agent of the
Brotherhood of Tailors, said:
"In this city, Brooklyn and Newark,
$1,000 men and women are on strike.
The strike affects the entire clothing
manufacturing trade. The reason for
the strike is the failure of the contract
ors to live up to an agreement made
more than year ago."
Cohen said Progressive Tailors'

will probably order strike. This
union numbers 10000, who make the
better class of ready-made garments.
The cutters, who have separate or
ganization, will soon be forced into

THE DEMOCRATIC PLAN.
Will Not Offer Substitute, but Am end

Will Not Ofer Substitute, but Am end
ments to TarIff Law.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The demo-
cratic members of the finance commit
tee were in consultation for two hours,
on the tariff bill today. They decided
not to offer q substitute for the finance
committee bill, but to propose amend
ments which, while they will reduce
the rates, would, if added to the rates
of the Wilson bill, produce sufficient
revenue to meet the demands of the
government.
They regard the committees bill as
a revenue producer, and calculate that
without the proposed beer tax and tea
duty, it would bring a surplus into the
treasury. On the other hand, they re-
gard the house bill as nearly prohibit
tive on many of the schedules, and
think that on this account it will be
deficient in the production of revenue.
The democratic members are especially
critical on the sugar, glass and wool
schedules, and expect to offer amend
ments on all of them. None of the
amendments have been formulated.
