HELMS HAS GONE.
Constable With Warrant is Unable
to Find Him.

Fletcher Helms, the ex-deputy sheriff, it
seems, is a fugitive from justice. Yes
terday Constable Ross went to Silver Lake
armed with a warrant for Helms arrest
on the charge of obtaining money from
May De FOy under false pretenses. The
constable was unable to find Helms, and
ne learned that Helms had been
notified of his coming by someone in
Topeka. and that he had gone in time to
elude the officer.
Helms was originally arrested on this
charge, but County Attorney Jetmore
asked the Justice of the peace to change
the charge from a felony to that of a mis-
demeanor- This was done and Helms was
fined 800 But since then the county at
tOrney received such a storm of disap-
prevail for letting a man go who confessed
to the crime, that when application was
again made for a complaint he allowed it
and the warrant was issued. 1t is under
stood that Helms went to Indiana, where
he has rela tiVeS living.

REMEMBER THE VIRGINIUS
Senior CASTELAR, Revives an Old
Score.

Madrid, Aug. 5.-The conferences be-
tween the political leaders on the sub
ject of the peace terms continue. Senior
Silvela, the conservative leader, who
wCs prevented by illness from being
present, has conferred with the prem
Ter, Senior SagaSta, on the subject. He
said Senior CASTELAR,, although an advO-
cate of peace, was of the opinion that
in negotiating its conclusion, the gov
eminent should remember the Vir
ginius affair when the energy displayed
by Spain in dealing with the United
States saved Spanish interests and he
thought every effort should be made to
preserve Spanish sovereignty over POr-
to Rico
Senior Silvela added that he personally
did not favor any change of policy.
The Liberal, moderate Republican, to-
day publishes an interview with Mar
shall Martinez de CampOs, who is quoted
as saying: I openly favor peace Ev-
erything that has happened in this war
could have been fOreseen but the most
pessimistic could not have have mag
med that our miSfOrtuneS would be so
great-the destruction of MOntejO'S and
Cervera's squadrons. the surrender of
Santiago and the rapid and unresisted
occupation of Porto Rico. No one could
have imag ined it, even taking into con-
sideratiOn the superiority of the United
States.
Neither the present government nor
any other can change our situation 1t
would be madness to think of rejecting
President McKinley's conditions. The
Liberal party can bring about peace,
but Sagasta should not be asked to
sign it. Such a course would not be
prudent and another Liberal cabinet
should be constructed
Marshal Martinez de CampOs, it is
pointed out, evidently referred to Senior
Gamazo as the man who should succeed
Senior Sagasta as premier. Senior
Gamazo is the present minister of pub
lie instruction. His name has been fire.
quently mentioned recently in cOnnec-
ton with the premiership, in the event
of the formation of a new cabinet.

Startling Request Being Sent Out From

chair Of physiology in Cornell univer-
sity, is sending out a unique document
that requests the recipient to will his
brains to the university. The circular

and former students OF the university,
and has been mailed to many leading
men of the nation who are numbered
among the alumni.
In giving his reason for the strange
request, Professor Wilder says that the
advanced science of today requires a
superior article in the matter of brains
that that obtained from the criminal,
ignorant or insane
There are plenty Of this class, but it
lie next to impossible to obtain higher
quality on account OF the antipathy to
dissection entertained by all cultured
people, In order to solve this prob
lem, the circulars have been prepared
and sent out.

TWO CHILDREN killed.
One Was Burned to Death, the Other
Run over.

Pendleton, Or, Oct. ll.-Saturday
afternoon some children We're at play
in a barn owned by Sim Hutchinson, a
farmer living near this city. Among
them was the little 3-year-old daugh.
ter of Mr.. Hutchinson. The children
had some matches, which they ignited.
Some straw caught fire, and this W :
communicated to the barn. All t..J
children except the little Hutchinson
girl fed. She was left at the mercy OF
the flames. A neighbor, Brown 10y
name, rushed in and found the child
hanging by her hands to a piece of
burning scantling. Her clothing was
on fire. He grasped her in his arms
and rushed out into the open air,
rolled her on the ground and extin-
guished the flames. 1t was found that
her legs. back, arms and head were
frightfully burned. Drs. Cole and
Vincent were called and succeeded in
allaying her pain. Brown, who SO he.
roically rescued the child, was badly
burned on his hands and arms. Today
the child died of her injuries.

THE FEELING IN GERMANY
Becoming More Favorable
Toward America.
THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION
Emperor williams Interest in Cuban
War Operstions-The Question OF
American Meat

Berlin, Oct. l1.-There has been a
great change in German public opinion
on the subject of the retention OF the
Philippine islands by the United
States. The feeling toward America
generally is much more favorable than
couple of months ago. The news
from the United States that the govern
ment at Washington lie seriously con-
templating holding the Philippines, is
commented upon dispassionately in
the German press, and IL is significant
that this week two papers OF such
standing az the Kolnische Zeitung and
the Vossiche Zeitung have published
long letters from German merchants
settled III the Philippine islands, in
which American annexation is strongly
advocated. A correspondent OF the
Vossiche Zeitun9 even vigorously COM
bats Germany making any attempt to
secure portion of the islands, citing
weighty 7 7e0ns therefor.
Another significant fact this week
was that a delegation representing
German and German-Swiss firms in
the Philippine islands called at the
United States embassy to express hopes
that America would not relinquish
the islands and would not return them
to Spain, which the delegation claimed
would mean recurrence of revolution,
and the perpetuation OF commercial
troubles. The delegation also asked
if it might go to Paris and lay its viewi
before the United States peace commits
sion. The United Statets AMBASSADOR
here, Nj. White, advised the delega.
tion not to do So
Mr.. White does not anticipate Ger.
man interference directly or indirectly,
even if the United States insists upon
retaining the whole of the archipelago.
Councillor Schwarzenley, formerly
Of the German embassy at Washington,
declares that Germany does not dream
of putting obstacles in Americas way.
Nj. White had long conference on
Wednesday last with the German min
lister OF foreign affairs, Baron Won Bue-
low.
The imperial government last win
ter. goaded by the agrarians, drew up
bill to regulate the inspection Of
American meat exports. The bill praC-
tically meant the death OF the Ameri-
can meat trade, and, luckily, it could
not be made ready for production in the
rechstag before that body adjourned.
Since then. the situation has changed.
The charges against American meats
have invariably proved to be groundless
so that the violent press attacks have
ceased The government therefore has
considerably modified the bill, which
is now much less stringent, but some
of its provisions are still highly preju-
dicial to canned meats and sausages.
1t is expected that the measure will be
introduced into the reichstag soon after
its converting next month. The entire
right and majority of the centrists
favor the measure, so its passage is vir-
tually assured.

OREGON AND IOWA.
Commodore Kautz Saws They VIII Re-
main with the Pacific Squadron.

Chicago. Oct l2.-The Chronicle
says: Contrary to public belief the
battleships Oregon and Iowa, recently
ordered to sail from New York to Hon
olulu, are not destined to reinforce
Dewey's fleet, says Commodore Albert
Kautz, the newly appointed command
er OF the Pacific squadron to succeed
Admiral Miller.
Commodore Kautz is in this city on
his way to the Pacific coast. There is,
he says, little likelihood that the ves-
sells would 90 to Oriental waters this
year. He declared they would remain
part Of the Pacific squadron.
One or more of the great sea scourges
will probably be maintained perma-
nently in Hawaiian water, ready to sail
at an instant's notice to the Philip
pines, but the commodore is OF the
opinion that no further reinforcem ents
will be necessary.

Salem, Or. Oct. l2.-The hop crop
is now moving as fast as shipping IA
cilities are obtained. The crop would
he moved from the warehouses much
more rapidly were it not for scarcity
of cars. A dealer conservatively esti-
mates the entire crop of the state at
60, 900 bales, which, at the average
price realized by growers, will bring
them not less than 100000. The
same dealer estimates the quantity yet
in the hands of growers at 1900 bales,
or one-fourth of the crop.
