NEGROES ExoITEp.-A dispatch
from Chelsea, l. T., says The negroes
around this place and Fort Gibson, on
Grand river, are excited over religion.
Many have lost their minds and imagine
they are in the spirit world alreaay. l.
all started through th2 attempt of
"Cal.". Rob,naoa. also known as Hamil
900, a negro preacher, to burn his child
upon rudely constructed altar.
The negro, believe that the end OF
The world is to come soon and voodoo
doctors are advising them to get their
ascension robes ready. There ata about
5000 negroes IN th2 Cherokee nation,
and thu news is spreading rapidly.
When Robinson made his attempt to
burn his child, because, as he annouuc-
ed God commanded him to do so, the
negroes were indignant and wanted to
lynch him. Now tnaY believe he is
possessed O, divine power and what he
wanted to 40 was the proper thing.
Robinson is now free aud is telling
the colored brethren to get ready to go
up to heaven, but he has set no GER
tain date. Instead of censuring him
the negroes are bowling in submission
to his will. The whites talk Of inter-
fering and having Robinson arrested as
a nuisance;

in place of the original report have
been submitted numerous reports
and recommendations favoring the
project.
Possibly, if Captain Fisk. having
the matter in charge, had let the
contract for the previous to the time
the matter was under discussion In
the house, an appropriation might
have been secured, but his failure
was unavoidable, owing to that ex-
ira duties have been imposed upon
him, looking to the protection of
the harbors against invasion by
Spanish vesrels. Now that auch
invasion is practically out of the
question, more time may be given
to other matters, and in accordance
with request of Senator Mcbride
and Representatives Tongne and
Ellis, the war department has sent
an inquiry to Captain Fisk concern
ing the Yaquina Improvement, and
asking him what has been done and
why there has been a delay in let
ting the contract. 1t is now ex-
pected that something defnat will
be done in the matter, for bids, it is
stated, will soon be advertised tor
and the contract let.
The war department, in the
meantime, has put in motion the
machinery for the expenditure Of
the appropriation for the improve
ment of Coos bay, the work to be
done under contract.

WHICH IS 1T?

The dear old Oregonian is get
ting muddled in its efforts to fight
the Yaquina Bay improvement and
to square up Brother Tom Tongue
at the same time.
In its antics in these matters it
keeps its special Washington cor
respondent rushed with especial
! correspondence" and what it says
one week it is apt to go back on
the next. BY another batch of
Especial correspondence" which we
reproduce below, it will be seen
that the bids for this work have
not yet been advertised. Last week
it said that the bids had been ad-
vertised but it was probable that no
responsible bidders would come
forward to bid upon the matter as
it was not probable that congress
would ever make an appropriation
for this improvement. Its article
of last week put Tom Tongue in
rather a bad light, so as Tom has
come home it hastens to "spuare"
him by laying the defeat of the
appropriation onto the democrats.
The fact is that the republicans in
the house outnumber the democrats
almost two to one, but If the demo-
Gratis have so much influence as
that, it would have paid the people
to have elected a democrat and he
would have had enough influence
to have got the appropriation
through.
The following is the latest efforts
ofthe "Washidgton correspondent"
and we give it as kind of a COM
parison with the last .effusion from
far off Washington:
"Several of the smaller papers oi
Oregon which recently reached
Washington have conspiciously and
emphatically denounced the actions
of the Oregon delegation in regard
to the Yaduina project. Several Of
them are so bold as to say that Rep.
resentative Tongue merely used the
Yaquina affair as a stepping stone
to success in his recent election, ant
when election was over, abandoned
the matter altogether. Such state
ment is untrue, and is absolutel
without foundation.

with less sunshine than during the
preceding week. On the 22d, rain
to the amount of from .o2 to IA of
and inch fell along the coast and in
the northern portion of the Will
lamette valley, in the Columbia
River valley eastward as far as
Sherman county, in a portion of
Union county, and about Baker
City; elsewhere few sprinkles oc-
cured. The rain delayed haying
in places, but did no material dam
age, and the little damage was done
was more than offset by the benefit
that the rain was to the spring
grain. Haying is we'll advanced
and is practically completed, except
over the Plateau District where it
yet continues. The second growth
of alfalfa is being cut, and the
second growth of clover is making
good growth and will make several
tons to the acre in many localities.
The hay crop secured is one of the
largest, if not the largest, ever
secured in the state; the quality is
first-class, and it has been safely
gathered.
Heading and harvesting of fall
sown wheat are under way in all
portions of the state, except IN
Unior, Wallowa, and in the coun-
ties comprising the Plateau District;
the crop is very heavy. Some cor
respondents report the crop "about
as good as in 1896" when the crop
was unusually large and of excel.
lent quality; while others report,
ut is the largest and best crop
ever harvested" That it is a good
crop, there is no question. The
grain is of good size and plump; so
far there are no reports of any
shriveled grain. Spring-sown
wheat is nearly as promising as the
fall-sown. In portions of the Will
lamette valley, the grain aphis is
reported to be present in large
quantities on the spring wheat;
some correspondents report that
damage is being done, while others
do not fear damage By them. The
oats are as promising as wheat.
Barley and rye are almost invariably
good crops, but this year they are
better than usual. Hop lice are
numerous in the majority of y ards
spraying is actively engaged in and
good, clean crop is hoped for
Royal Anne cherries are about
gone, but other and later varieties
continue plentiful. Peach plums
are ripening and being shipped by
carload lots. The crop of peaches
and apricots is very large in Doug
las, Josephine and Jackson counties,
and IN the Columbia and Snake
river valleys; elsewhere they are a
poor crop. The prune trees are
loaded, and hand pruning is very
active. Apple and Bartlett pear
trees are literally filled with fruit;
owing to energetic and systematic
spraying, apples and pears will be
freer from the Goblin moth than
has been the case for years. FlaS
