Will Send From 5000 to 100, 900
Troops Home Soon.
New YoRK, Aug. 20.-A special dis
patch to the Tribune from Washing
ton says:
Adjutant-General Cofbin said in an
interview that he was going to muster
out between $4,000 and 100000 volun-
teers as soon as practicable. The Sc
lection of the regiments will not be
made arbitrarily, but having in mind.
first of all, the reports of the regular
armv officers now with the volunteers.
The highest consideration will be
given the wishes of governors, as well
as of tue regiments themselves. The
interests of the national government
demand the disbandment OF troops Sc
cured under the second call in certain
instances, and in other cases regi-
ments raised under the first call, which
have had service and which have been
materially reduced in efficiency thro'
sickness, will be the first to go.
It will not be feasible to issue gen.
eral order or to prepare complete list
covering all the forces to be mustered
out for some time to come. On the
contrary, as soon as an agreement is
reached regarding any particular regi-
ment, it will be Immediately sent to
the state camp, and as soon as its
can be turned over to the
aud its accounts settled,
the individual records of its officers
and men will be completed and they
will be discharged from service under
the United States.
The only mastering ont orders issued
up to the present time relate to the
First Vermont infantry.

NEGOTIATIONS
COMPLICATED
Spain Not Ready to Give up
the Philippines.

MADID, Aug. 20.-The government
has resolved to insist that the capitula,
tion of Manila, after the signing of the
protocol, shall haYe no effect in the
peace negotiations unfavorable to
Spain. In any event the government
holds that capitulabion, signed by the
commanders of the forces, does not en-
tail the surrender of the whole Phil
ippines.
: All indications are that peace neg
citations will be prolonged. The oppo-
sition from some sections are redoub-
ling the agitation for convoking the
cortes, and it is said Sagasta begins to
hesitate, although he shares the
opinion of Duke de Rio, the foreign
minister, az to the inconvenience in
volved in the meeting of the cortes,
and a series of debates on the peace
terms. 1t is supposed the cortes will
meet after the election to councils
about the middle of September.

The e. o. Insane Asylum.

A Salem press dispatch says:
The status of the 1925 200 warrant
issued in payment for branch asylum
site in Eastern Oregon, yet to be de-
termined by the state treasurer, lea
subject of interest to lawyers here.
The supreme court rendered an opinion
holding that the treasurer should be
perpetually enjoined from paying it.
Upon request of counsel for the
holders of the warrant, the cause was
remanded to allow the fling of an
answer. The lower court accepted
stipulations and made an order author
izing the payment of the warrant.
State Treasurer Metschan has not yet
passed on the matter. 1t is held by
some that he will not be warranted in
taking up the paper while the supreme
court decision stands unreserved, not
withstanding the order of the lower
court. The warrant and interest
amount to about $50, 900.

THE REBELS
EXCLUDED
Gen. Merritt Proclaims Mill
tary Government.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The Manila cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph, in
dispatch dated Sunday, says:
General Merritt has proclaimed a
government of military occupation.
The news of the armistice arrived on
the 10th. 1t is feared that the Ameri-
cans may restore the Philippines to
Spain and thus reinaugurate fresh
period of tyranny, extortion and rebel
lion.
The Americans found $500 in the
Spanish treasury.
Foreign opinion is loud in praise of
the action of the American commander
in excluding armed rebels from the
city. 1t is b 'ieved his irmness saved
Manila from 8pillage. A week ago
there appeared to be a possibility of
collision with the rebels, but there is
40 danger now. Everything is quiet.

PASSING OF LORD FAunrLERox.
The Mother Tried to Be Brave When
the Golden CurIs Fell.

the Golden Curls Fell.
The scene was in Ninth street bar
Der shop and the time was a morning
earlier in the week. The ''tonsorial art
ist" nearest the door had just called out
"Next!" when there entered a very
pretty young woman leading by the
hand a four-ycar-old boy, with long,
golden ringlets. He was a manly look
ing little fellow, and his hair was just
the shade of the young woman's, al
though she looked almost too young to
be his mother.
"Are you the man who cut this little
boys bangs last time?" she asked.
"Yes'm; want 'em cut again?"
'No, not this time. 1 want his hair
cut short all over. And won't you try
to cut each curl off separately, for l
want to send some of them out of town
and one to his grandmother"
She had a pasteboard box in her hand
in which to take away the gold that was
more precious to her than any that has
come from Klondike. She said she
wanted the little boys hair cut. Itwas
probably the lads father who wanted
it; she had only acquiesced.
Several of the ebony-hued artists
gathered around to watch, while the
lad took his seat in big chair, as proud
as Punch, for he was to be a mothers
little Lordy Fauntleroy" no longer. He
smiled, but there was a suspicious
tremor about his mothers lips as she
took a brush, and for the last time
curled his beautiful ringlets about her
slim and tapering finger.
Snip, snip! went the scissors, and one
by one the curls were carefully laid
away in the box. Before the last one
was gone the young mother was hnd-
died up in the bootblack's chair crying
as if her heart would break. There was
no doubt now that she was the child's
mother. He was baby no longer. 1t
was much more comfortable for the
child. and it was time it was done, and
all that, but just the same he would
never be mammals little baby again,
and she could not see the wealth Of
falling gold for the tears in her eyes.
Not a man in the place smiled, and
even the "Shine, mister" seemed to see
bit of pathos in the scene. The barber
over in the corner had to stop a mo-
mentwhile theman hewas shaving wiped
q sudden tear from his own eye. The
man, gray haired and somewhat crusty,
was thinking of a lock of gold tucked
away in the back of his desk in busy
downtown Office, and his memory had
gone back to the time when he tucked
that strand beneath his blue soldiers
blouse and with musket on his shoulder
had started for the front.

Dalles and was at the bridge crossing
The Dalles numbering Co.'S hume be-
yond Theodore Mesplie's place, the
team became frightened and backed
off the bridge. Wagon, horses and Mr..
Sandoz were hurled to the ground, one
horse being killed and the wagon de-
molished, but fortunately Mr.. Sandoz
escaped with only slight bruises. This

GEOLOGY OF THE KLoNDIKE.

How the Rivers Arc Changing the
Country.
A recent explorer in part of Alaska
rs far removed from the newly-discov,
cred Klondike region as Washington Is
from Boston has said: THAT country
is one-half made; the glaciers are slow
ly doing the work, the mountains are
smoking and the rivers are vomiting out
quantities of quicksand." What is true
of the Cooks Inlet country of southern
Alaska is also true, in measure, of the
valley of the Yukon. There are, how
ever, some differences. In the region OF
the gold feds there are no glaciers.
Active volcanoes, too, are so far away
that it is only by the occasional reports
of Indians or prospectors who have
made longer trip than usual that
their existence is known. And yet one
can see, through all the valley of that
great river of the north, aboundant
evidences of the uniformed character of
the country.
The one thing which strikes the tray-
eler, be he Il. IAN or geologist, is the
immense ano,.t of work which the
streams are perform =. The Lewes
river, down which / es his way to

From the moment of entering the Lewes

is never absent. truly enormous

FOR Marking Sheen.

An authority says that, to make an
indelible marking ink for sheep use
shellac, 2 ounces; oorax, 2 ounces:
water, % ounces; gum arabic, 2ounces
and lamp black. Boil the borax and
shellac in water until they are dis
solved, and withdraw from the fire.
When the solution has become cold,
add water to make 25 ounces and lamp
black enough to bring the preparation
to suitable consistency. When it is
to be used with a stencil it must be
made thicker than when it is applied
with a brush, This formula gives a
black ink, for red ink substitute
venetian red for lamp black.

OLD GLORY
WAVES PROUDLY
Celebration Of Annexa-
ton at Honolulu.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 22.-The
steamer Belgic this evening brought
the following:
Honolulu, Aug. r. Precisely at
eight minutes to IL o'clock today the
| Hawaiion flag descended from the flag
steffs on all the government buildings,
and at exactly at five minutes to the
same hour, the Stars and stripes float
ed on the tropical breeze from every
official flagstaff.
The ceremony of today was most
impressive one. To hear the strains
of "Hawaii Ponoi" for the last time,
as national anthem, to hear the bu-
gle blow taps as the Hawaiian ensign
sank from its position. and to notice
the emotion of many who had been
born under it aud had lived their lives
under it, was solemn. But then came
the bright call for raising Old Glory,
and the strains of the "Star-Spangled
Banner" broke forth as that banner
was unfurled to the breeze.
Then the cheers broke forth, and
eyes which had been dim for few
moments became bright and lightened
up when the Stars and Stripes blew out.
The picture presented in and around
the extensive building was most strik-
ing. In the grounds and around all |
the approaches were crowds of on
lockers of every station of varied
nationality. Notably remarkable was
the number of Hawaiians. Within
the grounds the military and naval
display was fine. Hawaiian troops,
United States marines, the mounted
patrol, the police and the citizens
guard presented splendid appearance,
while the platform for the exercises
and the verandas of the executive
building were gay with brilliant sum-
mer dresses, dancing feathers and rib
bons and the brightest faces that Homo
lulu possessed. The uniform of staff
and navy officers added brightness to
the scene. A line of these stalwart,
we'll dressed men, stretched across the
first step from the veranda and made I
a distinctive mark in a massive group.
ing, which was in itself worthy of
special notice. The weather was for
propitious. The breeze came
down Nuanu valley pleasantly and
made the noble flags stream out in all |
their beauty.
THE FORMAL CEREMONIES.
The ceremonies opened with prayer
by Rev. G. L. Pearson, pastor of the
First Methodist church, of this city.
United States Minister Sewall then
rose, and adressing President Dole, |
who had risen, presented him cer-
titled copy OF the joint resoluti on of
annexing the Hawaiian is
lands to the United States.
President Dole answered acknow-
Lodging the making of the treaty of
political union, and formally yielded
to Minister Sewell, as representative
of the government of the United
States, the sovereignty and public
property of the Hawaiian islands.
Mr., Sewall replied:
"Mr. President: In the name of the |
United States, accept the transfer of |
the sovereignty and property of the |
Hawaiian government. The admiral |
the United States naval |
forces in these waters will proceed to |
perform the duty entrusted to him."

On the l7th eight more were sent, and
