At Santiago.

- HE most impatient critic OF the
the wars progress must admit
that in the movement against
Santiago the campaign proceeds at a
gratifying pace. No time was lost az
ter the arrival of the transports within
sigh Of our feet. Forthwith the land
ing Of the forces began. and this DIM
cult work progressed more rapidly tnan
had been anticipated. This region has
an especial interest in the reports OF
the early engagements. in view OF the
fact that the Twenty-ffth regiment.
long stationed at Missoula. was among
the very first of the soldiers composing
the army of invasion to step upon Gu
ban soil.
There was fighting yesterday. The
details are lacking at this writing. but
some of them will doubtless reach this
ofice before the latest news pages oi

What word has thus far come is chiefly
by way Of Madrid. owing TO SPANS
direct cable communication.
OF course, in taking ccou of the
days events. the Spsniards started In
10 celebrate a victory; at least, they
pretended to be greatly elated. The
later dispatches via Madrid. however
are a confession that Spain has new
disasters to ponder.

What Wheat Has Proved.

.Nlo . o"s," says ys, the , ps,s,."s o ys,
that the crash in wheat is
Tue to the gold standard victory in
Oregon"
That Is true. But when the wheat
gamblers were pushing up the price Of
wheat, the Oregonian was one Of the
loud advocates of the fool proposition
hat the rise in wheat's price was due
to the goldbug policy of the Mckinley
administration. That assertion reflect
ei on the intelligence as well as the in
tegrity Of the newspapers that urged 1t.
The Oregonian has not forgotten how.
before the election in oregon, goldbus
newspapers were saying that the state
was made safe for their side because
wheat was moving right along to two
dollars a bushel and that this substan-
tial proof Of restored prosperity" would
carry Oregon. Then, too. everybody
remembers how after the Oregon re-
suits were announced flaming editorials
in goldbug newspapers described how
wheat redeemed Oregon"
Almost before this high-wheat glori-
fcation had reached the goldbug pub
lie. the corner which the Letter gamb-
lers had forced went all to pieces-and
here we are, this morning. with wheat
away down in the seventies. at its nor
NAL ratio with silver, precisely in ac-
| cordance with the well-proved propo-
sit,on OF the free-coinage people that
in it's decline in price silver has had
the companionship Of wheat and nearly
all other staples.
The persistence of the O~regonian ant
goldbug organs of It's ilk in attempting
to turn the Letter gamble into an ar
gument against silver was astonishing
it was a presumption on the BART o.
the editors Of those newspapers tina
their readers are blockheads.

unable to leave his home. Three re-
porters were in the council chamber To
take in shorthand the speeches Of the
aldermen relating to election matters,
the appointing of judges clerks, etc,
and to report whatever of public inter-
est that might have come up in open
meeting.
Alderman Petritz of the Second ward
arrived in time to see that 1t was very
probable that a quorum wasn't to be
had last night. Alderman Dalton or
the Sixth was earlier than Petritz and
the mayor was the first to enter the
hall. There were ha:f a dozen specta-
tors, and the room was comfortably
warm. the steam having been turned
into the radiators probably before 9
o'clock, thus giving it a chance to put
the temperature of the chamber above
the freezing point. Chief of Police
White looked in and asked: Where
are they?" and went out on the street
again.
Alderman Petritz sat in his chair, un-
buttoned his top coat. adjusted his pad
and picked up his pencil, looked over
at the spectators and smiled. Alderman
Dalton was going towards his chair
when he noticed the absence of Fitz-
Patrick, Davidson and the rest of the
leaders. He stepped in the center of the
enclosure and looked up at the mayor,
who was looking al the door.

At the Margaret, Saturday. March 10,

of passing upon Charles Hoyts latest
success, "A Stranger in New York"
The play is one which tells of life as it
is found to-day in the metropolis, por-
traying the adventures of a stranger in

The stranger is a smooth, well-dressed
man of the world perhaps a drummer

ception room and hands it TO the man
whose address is on the envelope. 1t

without having a chance to explain, is
taken to lunch and then whirled away

he is stranger in New York, but it

the Margaret To-Morrow.
Daniel Sully will present his success
full play, "O'Brien the Contractor, at
the Margaret theater, tomorrow night.
Mr.. Sully is a peculiarly vigorous and
manly actor agreeably free from man
nerisms and stage affectation. 20 Brien,
the Contractor" is said to be play of
marked dramatic possibilities. with a
story that sustains it's interest to the
end. 1t is not lacking in realism, the
railroad building scene in the second
act being particularly llelike ana true
10 nature. while the driving of tue

thusiasm. 20 'Brien, the Contractor,
is one of those plays that will excite
critical enthusiasm, and it has many
excellencies thle other dramas of the
present day do not possess. IN III" hat
place it aims TO p"eselt moral zero
drawn from actual life, ana /. does pre-

try. 1t is the story of IN Irishmah
who is proud to be IN American, ana
who has a clean, healthy, simple sense
of the herosm of labor and the honor
of doing his duty. The play has an eth
ical and literary value. Mr.. Sully, as
O'Brien, presents a manly, unpreten-
tious type of Irishman in contradis-
tinction to the worn-out stage type,
and he plays the parsonage with SIM
pie sincerity that is very effective and

Hughes picked a quarrel with Burke
and knocked the latter down and the
knife that Burke held in his hand fell
to the floor when the man went down:
that Hughes ran out of the barroom
and into rear room and hid; that
when he came out on the sidewalk he
said that he had been stabbed by
Burke. They all say that Burke had
made no move towards Hughes before
the later knocked him down. So there
