Copeland, an informal reception and
banquet at the church Saturday eve-
ming, in honor of his sixtieth birth
day anniversary. The affair was rem
dered ,the more enjoyable from the
fact that the affair was kept a pro.
found secret until everything was in
readiness, when messenger was dis
patched to Rev. Copeland's home and
he was escorted to the church. The
affair was very delightful one.
The entertainment given Friday
evening by the young people of the
First Presbyterian church for the
benefit of the Sunday school was a
splendid success. The principal
feature of the EVENINGS entertain
ment was the introduction of the
Humaniphone by "Prof." Geo. Il
Rodgers. 1t was very warmly re-
ceived. 1t was introduced IN the
Capital City for the first time last
Christina but its repetition wa'
equally as well received.
A number that was not on the orig
inal program was announced at the
close of the performance. ReY. II. A
Ketchum d. D., was most agreeably
surprised when in a neat presenta-
tion speech, A. o. Condit presented
the reverend gentlemen with a hand
some Stearns bicycle, as mark of the
appreciation and esteem in which he
is held by the members of the
church and congregation. Rev.
Ketchum made a few remarks ir
which he expressed his gratitude fol
the beautiful gift.
The evenings entertai1nent con-
sisted of recltations by Hiss Neva
Griswold and Miss Ethel Thomas
Doll drills by the primary class; song,
by class of boys; Solos by Mrs. f. A
Virgins and VIM, Ketchum; A
Quaker duett in costume, and
Hiawatha's wooing,
Friday evening the members of the
Philodosian literary society of Will
lamette University gave an enter
tainment at the chapel to which

full time is reported.

The performance given at the Reed
Friday evening by the Silyerton
Dramatic company fully equalled, sif
not surpassed any previous amateur
performance ever witnessed in this
city. 1t was a presentation of the
Texas Drama "Alamo" IN four acts,
under the auspices of the Salem Camp
No. 1l8, Woodmen of the World
The opera house was comfortably
filled and the orchestration by the
Silyertou orchestra was a feature OF
the evenings entertainment.
The scene of the play is laid In
Texas during the struggle OF Ihe
clone Star" state to free herself from
Mexican rule. The hero OF the play
James Bowie, was ably portrayed by
Dell Knolton, who evinced consider
able ability as an actor. His good
work was frequently warmly ap'
plaude6 by the assembly. The worK
ofP. w. Geer, aslCol. Dave Crockett,
Bowie's Fidus Achates and colleague
was good. Henry Eisenhart and Will
liam Town, as Leon Otero and Ohar,
respectively, the two treacherous
Mexicans, we're especially good and
as the Williams of the play, sustained
their part very creditably.
Miss Myrtle Buff. as Jim Bowie's
wife, did some splendid work while
Mrs. Belle KnoWlton as the fastidious
parsons wife, very acceptably filled
her role. Little Pearl, as Vinie Glare,
by her sweet, winsome ways and
splendid acting was the general fayer-
ite among the auditors. Her sklrl
dance was warmly encoreo.
Joe, 'the niger" and Belcher, IN
Irishman, as depicted by Billy Myers
and w. L. Jones, furnished the eve
ning's fun.
All in ali the performance was very
creditably rendered and far surpassed
similar entertainments by troupesoi a
more professional nature.

MISS scHENCK's LETTER CHAIN.
Another Frantic Appeal To Have 1T
Broken.

New York, July 13.-Miss Nathalie
Schenck of Babylon, L. l., some weeks
ago determined to use the Endless
chain" correspondence to assist the ice
fund of the Red Cross society. This chain
consists in each one sending contribu-
tions, requesting four of his friends to
send contributions, and these four in turn
each requesting four of his friends to send
and so on. The deIuge of letters that has
flowed in on Miss Schenck has completely
overwhelmed the postmaster at Babylon.
and Miss Schenck. Over 5000 letters were
received at the Schenck home yesterday.
Miss Sohenck and her grandfather, Mat
thew Morgan, the retired New York
banker admit that the letters have &C.
cumulated so rapidly that they are now
four days behind i'll the sorting of them.
Relatives and friends are working night
and day and now Miss Schenck has ap-
pealed to the newspapers to aid her in
breaking the chain,

The public would very much like to
know the exact situation at Santiago.
What nea2re reports have come from
there are more mystifying than illumina-
ting. We were led to believe that the at
tack on the city was to begin in earnest
last Sunday, but as yet, further than an
ineffective bombardment by the fleet, lit
tie if anything has been DONE Several
times since than o demand
has been made upon the Spaniards to
surrender accompanied with threat to
attack the city if they did not, but the
Spaniards have not surrendered and the
city has not been attacked. Whether the
attack is deferred to save life in the belief
that the Spaniards will eventually sur
render without being attacked, or wheth h.
er it is deferred because our army is not
in a condition to make it makes great
difference. If for the first reason there
Is nothing disquieting about it, but if for
the second then it shows in all probabiIi-
ty that disease has made great inroads in
our troops, for nothing else could have so
reduced their efficiency as to render it
impractioable to attack the town. 1t is
well understood that the climatic and
weather conditions since our army land
ed have been about as bad for health as
1t is possible to cohesive. Drenching
rains have been followed by tropical
heat, and the men have been exposed to
both, practically unsheltered. 1t is to be
feared that these conditions have caused
widespread sickness among the troops
The Portland daily press., 1898-07-14

1t is not at all unlikely that we may
be very potent in determining whether
the war shall soon cease or whether it
shall continue for long while, for if to
end it we ara obliged to defeat and cap
ture all the Spanish troops in Cuba the
war must necessarily be prolonged for
many months. Our. experiences at San
tiago have opened our eyes to the diff
culties of campaigning in Cuba, and
taught US that the task of capturing Ha-
yana and Blanco's army will be one that
viii require great deal of time and cost
many lives. When Santiago is taken at
is highly probable that Spain will sound
US as to the conditions upon which we
III make peace, If our conditions are
moderate they are likely to be accepted.
If on the other hand they go to the ex-
tent Of demanding the accession of every
Spanish possession on which our flag has
been raised, with Porto Rico and big
war indemnity thrown in, the war party
Of Spain will be put in the ascende ncy
and enabled to carry out their pro-
granme of war to the bitter end. AS a
matter Of dollars and cents, if for no
other reason, it would seem to be wise for
US to yield something if by SO doing we
can hasten the end of the war
The Portland daily press., 1898-07-14

These taxes on kilograms, express pack
ages, etc. which the people, and not the
corporations, pay, ought to prove very
useful lesson at this time, when we are
talking about big navies and great armies
and colonies in the Pacific and Caribbean
sea. All these things mean big taxes,
and taxes, as we are seeing in the case of
the express and telegraph taxes. come out
OF the masses. 1t is the people in general
who will pay for the big armies and
navies, and not the big corporations and
trusts that will profit from the new terri
tory, to hold and govern which the ar
mics and navies are created. The people
OF Germany and Italy and France know
what big military OUTLAWS mean. Our
people can find out if they want to by
joining in the shout for annexing every
thing in sight, and becoming a great
''world power.

THURSDAY, JULY IL.

The task Of forming new ministry
under present conditions in Spain is one
that statesmen may well shrink from.
The people are divided up into factions,
some insisting on immediate peace negoti-
ations and some declaring that the war
must be prosecuted still further To sat-
isfy both these factions is obviously I'M
possible, and to ally oneself with either is
to precipitate an outbreak on the part of
the other. But sooner or later somebody
must assume the arduous task of con-
Quoting the government. Who it will be
must be largely guess work, but Martinez
Campos is as likely to be the man as any
one, A ministry with him at the head
would be virtually a military dictator
ship, and it is to such devise that Spain
has generally resorted in crit cal times.

Blanco has discovered that the COM
manders OF American naval vessels are
not so easily fooled as he imagined they
would be when he opened up fire from
/, MORO castle at Havana on the blockad-
ing fleet. The firing was plainly with
outireason, according to the reports, and
Z was at o range which Blanco knew we'll
4 was beyond the capacity OF his guns,
and this made very clear to the mind J
of the Americans that the Spaniard
was simply inviting an attack by the
blockaders, in view of his failing re-
sources and desire to fight while he
was able. and thus make show of de-
Tense. For this reason no attention was
paid to the invitation by the Americans.
The plan as understood, Is to maintain
the blockade until the invading army,
intended to occupy Havana, can be con-
syoyed BY one Of the strong war fleets,
after the movement on Santiago is COM
pleted.,
It is well known that each day de-
creases the Spanish commanders abill-
~ to defend himself against combined
Z sea and land attack. He cannot with
1 stand the exhaustion OF his resources
very long. and the movement on Hava-
no, which Is to be the climax of the Gu
ban programme, so far as the public is
Z able to ascertain, will find the Spanish
army in a condition Of weakness which
\ will make the task of taking the capital
city comparatively easy There are no
& Spanish fleets to render assistance, and
Blanco and his men will find themselves
4 helpless before the combined American
I and insurgent forces, and tho powerful
s fleet that will assemble on the water side
+ Surrender will be but matter OF d
i few hours. 1t is held that Blanco Is well
s aware Of the dangerand regards itasin-
4 evftable, and his action in attempting
4 to engage the blockadlng vessels in the
absence Of the big fighting ships, and In
\ advance OF the arrival OF the invading
Z, army. can hardly be accounted for In
! any other manner.
A feature OF the news Is the announce
Z ment that the second installment Of
{ troops for tho Philippines will sail from

: be followed by others, while the first
relief expedition is supposed to be due
