III. A Hull. a resident Of New London,
recently sent to Prof. A. T. Hadley, OF Yale,
letter solemnly propoundng the question,
Where. when, how, and why should
Christian gentleman drink RUM" The pro-
fessor's answer to this somewhat imperti-
nent conundrum is well worth reproduction
and consideration. He said: eff a young
man asked me those questions for his own
guidance 1 should say that the gospels OBJ
viously prescribed no fixed rules; but that
he had better not drink in doubtful cases. If
he asked the question, not as guide for
his own action, but basis for judg ng
others, 1 should tell him frankly that the
gospel was far more explicit in urging alb
stinence from sweeping judgments than abb
stinence from alcoholic drink" 1t is to be
hoped that the recipient of this admirable
reply will appreciate both its humor and its
severity, but that siprobably too much to
expect. EtI.

Y
AT recent Washington reception there
was short but sharp interchange of 9ourte-

bureau chief. 1t was a crowded afternoon

the wife of the bureau official was presented

NICARAGUA CANAL
is FEASIBLE
A Total Expenditure of Less Than
$1Oo, 1000, 900 Will Be Necessary,
According to Government Figures.

New York, Sept. 2S,-Eight govern
ment engineers who have been engaged
on the preliminary survey of the NicAr-
aqua canal have arrived at this city, on
the steamship Altai, of the Atlas line.
They remained in Nicaragua to complete
the work which was in progress when
Admiral Walker and other members OF
the commission were returning to take
part in the war with Spain. Eben S.
Wheeler was the chief engineer of the
party.
The preliminary work was finished be
fore the party left the field, and vast
amount of data, the result of surveyings,
borings and soundings, has been brought
back and will be included in the official
reports which will be placed before con-
gress at its coming session.
The surveys show that the proposed
canal is entirely feasible, and that the
cost will be considerably less than the
estimates made by the Ludlow commits
sion or the sum named by Admiral
Wheeler year ago as likely to be needed.
The reduction in cost is due to change
in location of the Ochoa dam and tc
other notifications of the old route.
The Ludlow commission estimated the
cost of the canal at $133, 100000. Ad-
miral Walker named $125. 100000 as the
aggregate cost. The report of the engi
neere will place the estimate at less thar
500 900, 900. By changing the location
of the dam from Ochoa to a point four
teen miles lower down, the building o
the San Juan basin and Its costly EN-
bankment can be avoided and saving
of $40, 600, 900 made.

MANY BILLS
INTRODUCED
Every Member of Both Houses Seems
Imbued With a Desire to Do Some
thing, and Make a Good Record for
Himself

SALEM, Sept. 2S.-That the present
Oregon legislature is determined not to
go down in history as a do-nothing leg
islature becomes more plainly apparent
every day. Today both branches did
business again, and did it with vim, and
while the proceedings were altogether OF
a routine nature there was full attend
ance in each house, and every member
appeared anxious to do his part thor
oughly and we'll, and to give good &C
count of himself.
In marked contrast with the regular
session of two years ago, is the special
session of today. Then the desire to ac-
complish results and pass useful laws
was lost sight of in the excitement and
rancor of the senatorial contest from the
very first. Now both houses are hard at
work on routine business, and so far as
outward appearances indicate, go alb
sorbed in their present occupation as to
be totally oblivious to all else.
Taken all in all the present outlook
for the present legislature making one OF
the best records ever made by any SINH
lar gathering in Oregon, is extremely
good.
Representative Kruse, of Clackamas.
introduced this morning measure that
is likely to engage the attention OF tie
medical practitioners. 1t reads:
"Any person may freely contract for
the services of whomsoever he considers
competent to alleviate suffering, or pre-
vent or heal disease. and 1t shall be law
full for persons SO employed to attend,
treat, nurse and endeavor to heal the
employing patient and receive compen-
sation therefor, subject to the medical
laws of the state relative to improper
practice"
A Joint resolution was introduced in
the house yesterday by Roberts of Wascc
and concurred in by the senate today,
declaring in favor of congress making a
special appropriation for the improve
ment of the channel of the Columbis
river at the lower end of the Cascade
locks.
A subject that is coming to be discussed
by mem bers of the legislature, is that o
making the regulur session IN January
take up legislative work just where tn,
present session leaves it. While the con
stitution limits the term of special ses
sion to twenty days, there seems to b.
nothing in the way of preserving tn
same organization now in force, and t
proceed at the regular session to act oi
bills introduced at the special session
without going through all the tediou
rigmarole of introducing, REMEMBERING
reading, referring, etc. ,as if the previou
action had been taken before total
different body.
This is the first time in the history
Oregon that the special session has pre-
ceeded the regular session of the sam
members, so there is no precedent t
guide. 1t is pointed out by some that I
presume that the came members shoul
choose a different organization next viii
ter is assuming them to be fckle, viii
there is the other view that patronaG
might be more widely spread around
a reorganization for the regular session
In the matter of committee clerkshil
there is as yet no indication that al
more economy than usual will be pra
ticed, if as much.

Queen Louise was born September y

she married King Christian TX of Den

great happiness, unbroken by single
loss in their family until within the last
few years, when two of their grand
children died The aged queen, who

mother of the Princess of Wales and
King George of Greece. Her second

PECKsNIFF TANGLED.

Editor Pecksniff, Of Fourteenth
street does not exactly know where he
is at these days of Kaleidoscope change
in political issues.
For example, in the same article yes
terday Pecksniff declared, first, that
'tThe talk about imperialism is the
rankest demagogy, and then a little
further along: "If this country takes
of Puerto Rico will be counted on"
Here we have Pecksniff declaring
that imperialism" is not contemplated
and in the next breath admitting that
if we take Puerto Rico its revenues
will be used for our own benefit, which
is exactly the imperialistic policy
even more rankly imperialistic than
England's policy and on par with
SPANS. Spain taxed her colonies to
death for her own benefit and that has
in every instance been the cause OF
their revolt Now Pecksniff admits
that his party would have the
United States adopt similar plan.
Yet he has the sublime effrontery to
say the charge Of imperialism against
his party is "demagogy"
Does Pecksniff know what imperial
ism means? If so what does he mean
by denying it and in the same breath
proclaiming it?
Pecksniff should disentangle himself
from the meshes of his own hypocrit-
ical sophistry before the campaign gets
too swiftly under way for him to regain
his political balance.

AN ARTFUL DODGER.

Having based an argument in support of
the Democratic denunciation of the war
would, probably not have been necessary
to make bond issue had the Dingley tar
III not been rank failure as a revenue
producer" it should be in order for the
Register to figure out how it is expected
any sort of revenue bill, passed only to
meet peace conditions, could be made 10
emergency, besides paying the ordinary
expenses of the government-Intelli-
gencer.
Thus does Pecksniff dodge the issue.
which is not whether the Dingley tariff
is yielding sufficient revenues to nav
ALL the expenses of the war. but
whether or not bond issue would have
been necessary before the revenues
from the stamp taxes became avail
able had the Dingley tariff not been
rank failure as a revenue producer.
That it is such a failure has been re-
peatedly shown in these columns from
the treasury records.
The point Old Hypocrisy cunningly
evades, is that the bond issue was not
meant to cover the total expenses of
the war, but simply TO COVER THE
DINGLEY SHORTAGE UNTIL THE
PROCEEDS OF THE STAMP TAXES
BECAME AVAILABLE to pay the war
Bills.
And the Register maintains had the
Dingley bill been adequate as a reve-
nue. producer there would have been
70 need of big bond issue, with its
many Years of interest saddled on the
people, tSbridge over the gap between
the DingleS failure and the war stamp
taxes.

taken by surprise. Almost the
first they knew of the army of in
vasion was in the announcement
contained in the firing of the gun
from the Gloucester, demanding
that the Spaniards haul down their
flag which was floating from a
flagstaff in front of a blockhouse
standing to the east of the village.
The first couple of three-pounders
were fired into the hills right and
left of the bay, purposely avoid
ing the town, lest the projectiles
hurt women or children. The
Gloucester then hove-to within
about six hundred yards of the
shore and lowered a launch hav-
ing on board a Colt rapid fire gun
and thirty men under the command
of Lieut. Huse. which was sent
ashore without encountering oppo-
sition.
Quartermaster Beck thereupon
told Yoeman Lacy to haul down
the Spanish flag, which was done,
and they then raised on the flag
staff the first United States flag to
float over Porto Rican SOIL
Suddenly about thirty Spaniards
opened fire with Mauser rifles on
the American party. Lieut.. Huse
and his men responded with great
gallantry, the Colt gun doing eff
fective work Norman, who re-
ceived Admiral Cervera's surren-
der, and Wood, a volunteer lieuten-
ant, shared the honors with Lieut.
Huse.
Almost Immediately after the
Spaniards fired ON the Americans,
