THOSE QUEER GERMANs.

An event which we-had not noticed
as being commented upon by the press,
but which was of gravest Importance
as rejecting the attitude of the Ger
mans toward Americans is given in a
letter from VIM. Horace Clagett, quar-
. termaster sargeant Oregon volunteers
TO the Spokesman Review. Sergeant
Clagett writes from Manila and re.
prds the following unfriendly conduct
on the part of the German fleet:
II want to tell you what those i'm
pudent Germans did.
'sThey haye nine warships here, and
they told Dewey that if he lombard

"Dewey told them to shut their
mouths and mind their own business,
or he would blow them out of the
water
"Well, on the morning of the
Fourth Of July they pulled out Of the
harbor; the entire fleet-of nine vessels,
with the evident purpose of escaping
the necessity of saluting the American
flag at IL o'clock.
At high noon a gun rang out across
puffs of white smoke shot out from
every vessel in cur fleet and the great
roar almost deafened US.

THE CEsSbON
OF LUzON
Spain Will Undoubtedly
Fight Against 1t.

LONDON. Aug. "a dispatch to the
Standard from Madrid by way of
France, saysi.
A very unfaysrable impression has
been caused in Maerid by kilograms
attributing to President Mckinley the
! intention of instructing the peace
commissioners to insist upon the ces-
sion of Luzon, that American COM
merce should hsye the same footing
as Spanish in the philippines, and
that Spain should pledge itself that
none of tie Spanish colonies should be
eeaed TO European powers. If such
are the Intentions of the United States
| government, the negotiations are very
sure to be lahorious. even II an under
standing is arrived at. The Spaniards
consider the cesston of Lozon, their
best and most important island, to be
& death RioF to their prestige ano
sovereignty in those regions, and that
1t would be irretrievably Seakened by
the presence of Americans In the
heart of their colonies.
Commercial equality with the
United stases in the archipelago
would annnl the only advantage and
compensation which they might have
egpeetea to have derived from the
cost and sacrifices WHICH have been
necessary to maintain their rule in the
+arehipeaago. Fhe separation of
church and state would be most unpal-
atabie TO msst Spaniards, and. would
create grave difficulties In their re
lations with the vatican and the
church, let alone the powerful relig-
ious orders in Spain. which are always
disposed to side with bon Carlos ]
against the present dynastry.
Last. but not the least, any pledge !
torefrein troR eeding any part to the
powers would displease many states
men and people Of all classes, who are
daily more sra more inclined to ad-
yocate the sale OF the Spanish /
apchipelagQes to the highest bidder,
especially TO Continental powers most
likely to be in position to arrest the
growth of American political and COM
mercial influence in the far East.

lily paid by the importer, is. in the end
discharged by the consumer. In the
matter of tea, coffee spices and other
articles that are not produced in the
United States, the custom house tax is
certainly paid by the consumer. The
amount of the duty is added to the
price at which the article is sold in
this country. When thers is competi-
tion between the foreign importer and
the domestic manufacturer, the con-
sumer pays to the latter the tax instead
of the government. That is why the
manufacturer clamors for a tariff. The
consumer gets sinched in both direc
tions.
Since the appointment of George
Curzon as Governor General, or
Viceroy, of-India was announced a
number of Chicago papers have been
indulging in contortions of admiration
and glee, due to the fact that the honor
of being what they call the ''vicereine"
has fallen upon MIR. Letters daughter.
| The Times-Herald, however, calls
trace upon the overdose laudation and
shows that although the head of the
Indian administration is popularly
called the viceroy he is never adressed
that way in official communications
| and that his real title is governor-gen-
| eral. AS for Mrs. Curzon being vicer-
cine, or vlce-queen, or representing
Queen Victoria as a kind of deputy that
is nonsense, since the wife of the gov
ernor-general borrows no official dig
nifty from her husbands position,
though she has imense social prestige.
Mr.. Curzon is likely to be made Lord
Curzon of Kedleston, in which event
bis wife would be known in India as

The Astorian seems to think that if

q mighty river flowing by Astoria on

it from being presented in thor
oughly satisfactory manner.
Arrangements have been made to
present the cantata at Atwater on
Friday evening. Only one nights
performance will be given here, so
parties holding tickets will do we'll to

we'll all occupied on each night. On
Saturday ''The Gold K:ng' was per-

all the performers acquitted themselves

audience. Mr.. McPhee does not allow
his audience to grow weary, for be-
tween acts some specially is introduced

"a fine exhibition on the globe and also
on the trapeze and electrified the audi

Chorus of Jews and Persians.
SYNOPSIS.
Esther was born in Persia 500 years before
Christ. Being an orphan from infancy she
adopted by her uncle, Mordecai, who, recog-
nizing her great natural beauty, trained her
in the accomplishments of highest woman
hood. She was chosen by the King of the
Realm to be his wife and Queen. She did not
disclose her nationality. Haman was Premier
and favOrite of the King. Haman hated Nor
decai because he would not worship him as
the King had commanded. He did not know
Mordecai's relation to the Queen. To be
venged he obtained a decree for destroying
all the Jews in the provinces. Mordecai dis
covers the plot and charges the Queen to petit
tion the King for the safety OF her people,
which she does at the peril of her life, on ac-
count of the law that no one shall go unto the
King unbidden. The King hears her petition
and Hannah is defeated Haman has prepared
a galiows for Mordecai. An attendant informs
the King of the fact. The King orders Haman
to be hanged from it and proclaims Mordecai
Premier in his stead. After this the people
rejoice.
Ladies are respectfully requested to
remove their hats during the perform
ance.
