IN MONUMENTAL BRONZEH
ored By the Society of Cincinnati at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, May 15.-As a mark of achievement, Vhe memory of George Washington was honored today in mon umental bronze. All plans worked smoothly. The cord which released the cloth that enshrouGed the statue of the father of his country was drawn by its latest ruler. Surrounding him were de- scendants of the patriots who battied with Washing on, and with him made possible ths scene enacted today. The union which they formed has grown 10 a mighty organization under the name or the Society of the Cincinnati. Maj. W1l- liam Wayne, president of the Cincinnati. who formally presented the monument to the city traces his lineage straight to Mad Anthony, and William w. Porter. the orator of the day, is grandson or David Rittenhouse Porter, twice governor of Pennsylvania, and great grandson or Gen. Andrew Porter, who was on Wash- ington's staff in the revolution
 The ceremontss were impressively simple. Bishop Whipple opened wbth prayer, and Maj. Wayne. followed wltn an appropriate address. Then came the unveiling by President Mckinley and the salute of twenty-one guns by the artii- lery and the war vessels in the Delaware. This concluded, President Mckinley spoke briefly. The oration was then de- Hvered by Mir Porter. The formal pre- sen:ation of the memorial by the society to the city was made by Maj. wayne to Mayor Warwick, with short addresses by both and then the mayor transferred it to the Fairmoun Park commission, which body exercises jurisdiction over the citys amusement grounds. President
 Mckinley and party then revelWed the parade. It was we'll into the evening when this was over, and the president and party were dtdven to their hotels to dress for the banquet of the Society of the Cincinnati In the evening. The night was devoted to various phases of celebra tion apart from the dln- ner The wheelman's parade, with 2,GO0 in line, was the principal feature. Hum nations from the monument, the city hall, the Union league and other points

W. J. Calhoun, the special commissioner appointed by the United States to inves- tigats the killing of Dr. Ruiz, officially notified the Spanish government of the fact of his arrival The communiea- tions from the Spanish government nam ing the Spanish representative who is expected to cooperate with him are looked for in a few days
 Gen. Lee and Special Agent Calhoun have visited the American prisoners con- fined hers.
 Seror Garcia is charged with publish ing "unreHable and alarming anti-Span- ish news' He pleaded American citi- zenship in defense, but so far he has been unable to produce the proofs of this citizenship and 1t is doubtful whether he will be able to show that he is a citizen of the United States.
 Consul General Lee has made pro test against the violation of American mails in thu Havana postoffice. Accord ing to adVices received here Gen. Gsmez is fleeing before the columns of Capt Gen. Weyler and is now in the virgin forests of Puerto Principe, west of the Moron trocha. There are many others who believe that he has succeeded in crossing the trocha and personally escap- ing by sea with few men. It seems to be pretty well settled, however, that he is now at least several hundred miles from Havana and consequently there is little fear of an attack on the city of Ha- vana by the insurgents.
 Calixto Soto. a surrendered lieutenant from the camp of Gen. Gomez says that Gen. Gomez during the winter campaign did not cross the River Zaza. He marched through the Santa Terrace, La Magnonian and La Reforma zones and is-now supposed to be in the vicinity of the last mentioned place. He wanted to invade the western provinces, but the in surgsnt government would not allow him to- do this fearing the superior Spanish force. Gomez still continues his for mer tactics refusing to fight and confin- ing his operations to light skirmishing. He relies on the wet season time, the breaking down of the financial system of the Spanish government and the ravages of disease among the Spanish forces to bring about the triumphs of his cause.

home From alaska.

Mr.. and Mrs. Leslie Butler arrived
home last Friday from Alaska, having
come down on the steamer Queen.
They are both much improved in
health, and are delighted with their
trip. They went up on the first trip of
the Elder and were at Dyea and
Skaguay for three days while the Elder
was unloading its cargo and passen-
gers. Mr.. Butler says of the hundreds
of prospectors who were on the Elder
none seemed to more thoroughly un-
derstand the situation than DIR. Sidall,
of The Dalles When Mr.. Butler left
Skaguay the doctor was not decided as
to his course, whether he would at
tempt to cross to Klondike this fall or
whether he would winter at Skaguay.
Mr.. Butler says there are fully 1000
men now en- route to the mines, either
at Dyea or Skaguay or on the trail be-
tween these places and Dawson City.
OF this number he does not think one
third can reach the mines before the
pass closes. The appliances for NOV
ing supplies are very crude, and there
is more freight piled up at Dyea than
can be carried across the pass In three
years by present methods, hence many
will be compelled to remain on the
coast until spring, because of not be-
ing able to take their supplies with
them

VIII, he welcome Visitors.

For some time we have been giving
notice of the probable time meeting
of the fire department would be held
at The Dalles, but our teams here have
gone to sleep or are resting a long
time after their victory here.
The city has purchased good rae
ing cart and it will not be sufficient to
claim that our team is the best in
Eastern Oregon, unless they win some
prizes away from home. Here is the
chance, and picked team should be
sent to The Dalles and enter races.
If they do, we feel assured that they
will come home with prize money

and everything possible will be done
to make their visit to The Dalles a

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
John Harth Defendant in an Assault and |
Battery Case.

John Harth Defendant in an Assault and
Battery Case.
John Harth, farmer who resides
between Eight and Fifteen Mile creeks,
was today arraigned in Justice Fill
looms court charged with assault with
a dangerous weapon on Frank Bonner.
a l2-year-old boy whom he has taken
to raise. The boy shows evidence of
having been fearfuIly beaten, his back
and shoulders being terribly lacerated.
and Harth acknowledges to having
chastised the boy with piece OF heavy
rope last Saturday morning.
The evidence produced on examina-
tion shows the boys to have been un-
mercifully beaten, not only on Satur-
day but on the Sunday previous.
Harth is a big, hurley fellow, with an
ungovernable temper, who says he
makes a practice of whipping his own
children with blacksnake, and con-
siders such chastisement the proper
mode of correcting children. Re does
not deny having whipped the boy with
a rope, nor does he offer any excuse
for his brutality except that the lad is
ungovernable.
The examination had not concluded
at the time of going to press.
