A fellow named willis, who, in view
of his recent actions, has a character
somew hat similar to that of the Taun-
ton boy desper ado" OF the same name

since, enlivened things in the Tender

O'clock on account of his failure to pro-
cure a drink of several of the bar
tenders along Pine street. -
Willis was first seen today at the
Vcndome House on Pine street, where
he asked for a drink without money,
but upon its being refused him he left,
after threatening to do the bartender
and the place much injury. Next he
went to another nearby saloon. where
the same result was had. Then he went
to the saloon OF A. f. Paulsen, a Swede,
at 11S Pine street and he told the bar
tender, Albert Bylund, that he wanted
a drink, and proposed to get IL or clean
up the place. Bylund retorted that he
guessed he would let him clean up the
place and pointed TO the door as place
for him to begin. Willis then hit the
mahogany railing in front OF the bar
with his fist, and the blow made deep
cut in the wood, which led the bar
tender to believe that Willis had a steel
knuckle upon his hand. The fellow
then went quickly outside. but in few
moments returned. and opening the
double screen doors hurled a stone at
a large plate mirror behind the bar.

REACHED BY
LOGICAL STEPS

The statement by Secretary Day
showed that events had led up by log
ical steps to the agreement reached
some time after noon today on the
terms Of the protocol The confer
ence between the president and the
French ambassador at the White House
asst evening, IL was practically admitted
this morning, was not conclusive in all
respects, but there was a manifesto
ton of steadfast confidence in admin
istration circles that seemed to presage
an early agreement upon basis OF
peace. Foundation for this belief was
afforded when Ambassador Cambon
called at the state department during
the afternoon and IL became known
that the ambassador was prepared to
give a response to. further inquiries
that had been necessarily put last night
in relation to the Spanish position. AL
though no definite statement could be
obtained from any one acquainted with
the details of tn situation, 1t was sur
missed that the ambassador, having
presented certain Spanish request
Yesterday in connection with the ac-
ceptance OF the four bases OF peace
laid down by the. president, had been
authorized to modify or withdraw such
of these additional representations as
should prove unacceptable to the United
States.
At any rate, when the ambassador
appeared IT the state department at
III O'Clock with his secretary, Nj. THE
bauIt. and was ushered into the diplo-
matte room, there was a general belief
among the officials OF the state depart
ment that the prospect had frightened
materially over night and that ces-
sation of hostiities at least was In
| LIZ.

WILL PREPARE
THE PROTOCOL

Secretary Day and Ambassador Cam
bon will begin work upon the protocol
and this, 1t is expected. win be signed
and made public within the next Thir-
ty-six hours. This protocol Will be
simply an elaboration Of the general
terms above given, but there will nec-
essarily be many important points to be
covered.
The time and manner Of the eyacua-
ton of Cuba and Porto Rico Will have
to be set forth. and provision made for
the control Of affairs in the two islands
pending the evacuation. There Is al
ready a perfect understanding on these
points. Although one Of the provisions
of the present terms refers TO the inn
mediate" evacuation OF Cuba and Porto
Rico. the understanding is that Spain
will be allowed n reasonable time 10
| provide means for transporting her
troops. and they will be withdrawn only
as fast as United States troops are
ready to take their places.
IL will probably be month or more
before the evacuation is commenced.

last Spanish soldier leaves the West IN

WILL HOLD SPAIN
RESPONSIBLE

Our government in dealing with an
other, recognized only the executive
branch, and holds that wholly respon-
sible for all Of its acts or promises. and
il is probable that our government
would not concern itself as to what fur
ther international steps would be nec-
essary to satisfy the stickiers for con
stitutional observance In Spain. " II
should appear later that the cortes
would undertake to undo the work so
far accomplished between the two gov
ernmcnts, of course the government or
Spain would be held responsible Tor
that result: but as il is presumaRie
that the United States military forces
by that time would be in possession or
Cuba, Porto Rico and Manila, internal
commotion in Spain need not give N
anv further concern.

the initiative in unofficial 'feeiers
looking to an armistice pending peace,

to accept anything except surrender,
and the Spaniards will never surrender.
The latter hope to endure until peace Is
declared between washington ana Mad
rid. The hardships of the situation are
pressing chiefly upon the natives and
foreigners and not upon the Spaniards,
because the bulk OF the priests, the OFF,

the food supplies; and, though quarter

the fact goes practically unheeded.

The Judgeship Contest.

In the case OF P. H. Darcy VS.. r.
P. Boise, motion Of defendant to
strike out portion of the further and
separate reply, was submitted before
Judge George Fl. Burnett, Of Depart
ment No. l., without argument, Tues
day afternoon and overruled. This
morning the prosecution filed motion
to have the time Of trial as to three
counties, Linn, Yamhill and Tilla-
nook fixed, and also for an order per-
mitting petitioner to withdraw his
contest so far as the same concerns
Marion county, upon the ground that
owing to the absence Of ex-Clerk L..
V. Ehlen, the custodian of the ballots,
petitioner is unable to show that the
ballots have been securely kept, and
for this reason the contest so far as
this county is concerned is abandoned.
Mr.. darcy also states in this motion
that considering the suspicion that
has been cast upon the correctness OF
the count in this county he would not
be willing to accept the office unless
he has a majority over Judge Boise
without considering the votes in
question in this county, Judge Bur-
nett ruled that this county could be
omitted from the case as prayed, and
will this evening fix time OF trial for
other counties.
