Ii HUNG CHANGES DISMISSAL.
Curt Note from the Emperor Re-
moves Him from the Foreign Of
fice-Russia Nav Object.

Peking, Sept s, delayed in transmits
sion.) Am imperial edict announcing
that the emperor has no further need
of Ii Hung Chang's services as minis
ter of Tsung-li-Yamen, was promul-
gated today. 1t is short, curt dis
missal for which no reasons are given.
The news of Ii Hung Chang's dis
missal was not unexpected. A grow
ing distrust of the great Chinese states
man has been observable for some time
past among his colleagues. 1t will be
a great blow to Russia, which country
Ii Hung Chang has faithfully served
for months past. Whenever the Tsung-
Ii Yamen received the British minister,
Sir Claude M. Mcdonald in audience,
Ii Immediately went to the Russian
minister and reported the whole pro-
ceedings to him. Lately there have
been indications that Ii Hung Chang
was wholly in the service OF Russia,
and on Saturday last, in the presence
of the Tsung-li-Yamen, Sir Claude NJ.
Macdonald reproached Ii Hung Chang
| for his conduct, and his dismissal from
the foreign office was probably the i'm
mediate consequence.
1t is expected that Russia will siren
| uously endeavor to bring about the re-
| instatement of Ii Hung Chang. The
courage of the latter gave to him the
leadership of the Chinese foreign office,
| where he was the only minister pre-
| pared to vigorously answer harsh, for
| eign demands.
a panicky feeling pervades official
dom here. The emperor is daily CIV
| ing out dismissals or promotions with
| out apparent cause. A new edict,
| just issued requires the viceroys to
send to the capital lists of men cap
| able of bearings arms. This is looked
upon as organizing of a militia on the
| European model.

AFFAIRS AT MONTAUK.
Saratoga Arrives---Col. Roosevelt's
Riders will Be Mustered Out.

Montauk Point, N. u, Sept. H.
The transport Saratoga arrived from
Santiago this morning with about six
~ members of the signal corps. in
command of Lieutenant Colonel Frank
Green. Half of them were volunteers
from Maine. under Captain G. w. But
Ter, and the others were regulars un-
der Lieutenant G. G. Burnell. The
Saratoga also brought $50 negro labor
ers, who were sent to Santiago several
months ago to act as teamsters. driv-
ers, stevedorers, etc. Two of the ne
groes died of malarial fever on the
voyage. Twelve were sick when the
steamer reached here. and We're taxi
EN- TO the detention hospital. None of
the cases are considered serious.
Colonel Roosevelt expects to have
his regiment of Rough Riders mus
tered out on Thursday and the men
will then leave camp ard go to their
homes. The officers and men of the
regiment are preparing to present to
Colonel Roosevelt testimonial of their
regard in the form of a small bronze
statue designed by Frederick Reming-
ton, the artist 1t is called the "Bron-
cho Buster" and represents a cowboy
on the back of a bucking mustang.
The testimonial will! cost $3.50, and 1t is
the intention to have every officer and
man in the regiment subscribe some
thing to it's purchase.
The general belief in Camp Wikoff
today is that great changes will be seen
here before the present week is over.
Reports are circulating freely that Gen
eral Miles had assumed the active di-
rection of the affairs of the camp, and
that he intends to have all regular
troops removed from here as soon as
possible and sent to regular army posts,
where they can live in regular army
barracks and be more comfortable in
every way than they can be living in
tents on the eastern end of Long
Island, for when the weather becomes
much colder than it is now the troops
will undoubtedly suffer here. General
Bates, who is now in command of Camp
Wikoff, admitted today that new orders
had been received from Washington in
regard to the disposition of the sol
diers here, and the general understand
ing is that they will all be removed
away as rapidly as possible.

Spanish commissioners, with mail and
passengers.
Many of the latter are residents of

Buddhists ON suicide.

IL. Irwell, in Lippincott.
The Buddhists took the same pessimistic
view of life as the Brahmins; life was a
misfortune. and the faithful were always
ready to abandon it. The Buddhist how
ever. stood TO gain more by death even than
the Brahmin. and. as his estimate of the
value Of life was no higher. suicide was still
more common among the followers of Bud
dha than ii had been prior to the promul-
cation of the new religion
By the Buddhists suicide is looked upon
even to-day, as justifiable under almost any
circumstances. In China, it is true some
suicides, especially those caused by ssamb-
ling-are regarded as dshonorable, but
everywhere that Buddhism has penetrated
human life is held of little or no value
and suicide is committed on the slightest
provocation imaginable. or without any
provocation at all With Buddhists life Is
a penance and death is the doorway TO eter-
nal joy. 1t Is. therefore, not surprising tina;
they arc always ready to commit suicide on
the very slightest pretext. Among the Chi
nese trivial insult is frequently followed
by the death, not Of the aggressor. but of
the offended individual who ends his life.
and. IN his opinion, casts infamy upon his
asSaflarsf.

OUR STRONG POINTS.
mot drunkenness which is bad enough:
nor corruption. which is bad enough; nor
lawlessness, which is bad enough-all of
which are to be seen in other nations and in
other peoples--not these are the distinguish
ing characteristics of America, but a faith
in righteousness and reason ready to de-
termine questions between communities as
between man and man; a faith in conscience
as a power that will itself enforce righteous
laws: a faith in humanity that declares
every man shall have fair chance; a kind
ness and mercy that offers to every man
fair education; a generosity that offers
these not merely to the citizens of our own
Nation, but to the citizens of all others;
that we ask them to help govern and to rule
us, and this faith long continued, with gen.
erosity which gives to them part of our
ing-these are the distinguishing character
istics of the American people.
And the one great civil war we have had.
the one terrible exception to our peaceful
settlement of differences, is unlike any other
civil war in human history. Not that it was
longcr-not so long; not that 1t was more
terrible-in proportion 10 the people en-
gagged. perhaps not so terrible, certainly not
so wasting: but in this: 1t is the one civil
war in history fought by one people to
roses not in the war of the French revolu-
ton not in the wasting war of Turkey,
not in the civil war of Marius and Scylla,
was there anything comparable TO this-a
great war fought through four years by one
people to set another people free. / know
that men now looking back. say it was not
to set the slave free; but they are not the
men who lived in the time who say that
And we who did live then know there would
have been no gun aimed at Fort Sumter,
unless first the people of the North had
said there shall be no more slavery: and
we who lived then know that there would
not have been second gun at Fort Sum-
ter if before that gun was fired Lincoln
and the North had said TO the South: You
may carry your slaves into the Territories
and you may bring them as property into
the Northern States. 1t was because we
would not have the responsibility of slavery
that we fought four years TO cleanse our
land Of it, These seem to me to be the dis
tinguishing characteristics of the American
reople.

FROM A DAVISlTE.

Member OF the Last House Who Claims
Blu. Five Days Pay.
Hon. Geo. Ogle, OF Molalla, Clacka-
mas county, who was member OF
the Davis house in 1887, writes THE
JOURNAL as follows:
There may be an attempt on the
part of friends OF the Bensonites at
the coming special session to evade
the constitution and include in the
appropriation bill full salaries for the
unorganiZed house of 1897. III this
steal is attempted please oppose 1t to
the utmost through your able paper
and hold up to public condemnation
those members who attempt such a
violation OF their oath. rhe constl-
tuition is certainly explicit on this
point, that where either branch OF
the legislature fails to organize they
forfeit all but salary for five days and
milage. | sincerely hope that nc
member of the "Davls" house will
stultify himself by presenting claim
for more than the constitutional
amount. The "holdup' as II was
termed was for a principle and we
all should be ready to accept the
sacrifices entailed thereby,

and IN Europe, is the fact Of the
superior craftsmanship Of the Ameri'
can sailor, which has been typihed in
the saying, "rhe Man Behind the
Gun"
1t is interesting TO hear from com :
manders and officers in command OF
guns on our different ships the reason
for this. The method on our ships
when approaching the enemy is to fire
a small calibre gun, and, as with the
use of telescopes, the direction can
always be obtained at once, the only
difficulty is TO find the elevation.
This is obtained by first firing short
OF the object, and then, AS the shot
strikes the water, gradually raising
the gun until the enemy is struck.
With the small! calibre rapid-tlre gun,
this is matter OF only two or three
shots, and the range is obtained in
less than minute,
The moment any one firing ole OF
the small guns secures the range, IL
is telegraphed or telephoned to every
guu on the ship, and with the mag
niticent machinery for firing the
large guns, IL Is only few seconds
when every weapon OF different sizes
ON board the ship which can be aimed
at the object is sending shot aud shell
OF all descriptions straight at the
the mark, with the consequent result
that IL Is practically impossible for
the gunners on the enemy'S ship 70
stay at tnelr guns.
AS a result our ships were seldom
hit. Nevertheless, when they were
once struck, the frigntful execution
done by these shots shows what might
have happened to our ilne battleships
II the good American behind the gun
had not known and done his WORK so
we'll.
The illustrations We reproduce
from Harpers Weekly show the
damage done by a Spanish shell which
struck the Iowa above the water line
aud. after passing through the side
OF the vessel, crashed into the for
ward turret. Picture No. l was

THE ADDITIONAL JUDoEsHIP,

There appears In the Oregonian OF
10th inst an article stating that
legislation in the interest Of econ
omy would provide for doing away
with two circuit judges Ia the Third
Judicial District, for the reason that
one Judge can easily do the business
OF that district. Whoever wrote that
article is probably not aware OF the
population and business OF the Third
District. 1t is far the most popu-
lous district of the state, except the
district constituted of Multnomah
county, and very nearly as popu
ulous as that district, which has
fourcircuit Judges, aud the Oregonian
seems to think they have all the
work they ought to do.
To show the increase of business In
the Third district the best indication
Is the number OF cases on the court
dockets at various periods.
In Marion county at the October
term, 1889, there were 72 cases. AT
the February term, 1890, 60 cases.
Then there was but one department
In the same county at February
term 1898, In Department No. !, there
were 10 cases, and in Department No.
2, 90 cases,
At the June term 1893 In said
county there were in Department No,
|, 80 cases, and In Department No. 3
O2 cases. This shows that the busi'
ness has just about doubled In ten
years In Marion county, aud the same
is true OF the other counties OF the
district. No two judges In any dis
trlct Ia the state (that has more than
one judge have more to do than the
judges OF the third district, and no
single judge can do the business OF
this district and give TO the cases
tried by him, that attention aud care
that justice demands.
