The Storm in New England.

BOSTON. Feb. 2.-The financial loss
caused by the great storm which swept
a great part of New England Monday
night and yesterday will amount to
more than was first thought. In this
city alone it is estimated that the loss
will amount TO over Sl,000,000. The
Boston Elevated Railway Company
lost about 1925, 700 by the storm. To-
day the company has nearly 300 men
at work clearing the tracks.
Reports of stranded vessels along
the coast continue to come in, and 1t
is thought at least 10 lives were lost
by wrecks at various points.

TIME TO ACT.

The eTimes-Mouutaineer has laid be-
fore its readears in The Dalles a sug-
gestion with reference to the threat
ened encroachment upon our COM
mercial interests by the building of the
Columbia Southern railroad into the
sections south of here, which it believes
is both practicable and feasible, and
would urge that it be carefully con-
sidered by every property owner in the
city. This paper is not an alarmist
and docs not seek to make mountains
out of molehills, but it hopes to pre-
sent facts as they exist, and give warn
ing when danger threatens.
Although the Dalles merits the
confidence of the farmers throughout
that section lying south and east OF
here, and has long enjoyed their trade,
through the extra facilities it has had
ior handling their business, it cannot
hope to retain their patronage when
more convenient facilities are offered
them. People will not make long and
tedious journeys over mountainous
roads by wagon in order to bring their
products here, when there Is rail-
road at their very doors, just because
they like US. Friendship cuts but little
figure in business, at least it does not
supersede personal interest, hence our
former patrons will desert US when
ever offered more convenient facilities
elsewhere These will certainly be
offered the people of. Crook, those re-
siding in the northern part OF Grant
and the southern part of Wasco count
les Just as soon as the Columbia
Southern road is exteaded to Cross
Hollows, which is its objective point.
All the people of those sections can
then reach the railway over compare
lively easy roads and without paying
toll. They can haul larger loads and
can reach their shipping point In
shorter time, hence it will not be to
their interest to como to The Dallss.
These are facts that none OF US can
deny. however much we would like to
convince ourselves they are not true.
Then it rests with US to meet the con-
ditions as best We can and put forth an
effort to overcome the threatened
danger. Shall we undertake the task
alone or shall we invite the assistance
of others?
Possibly large share of the trade
from the south could be retained by
the building Of an independent line OF
road from The Dalles to Deschutes and
up that stream; but in that case the in
dependent line would always have as
competitor the columbia Southern,
which would in all probability get at
least half the traffic, and whatever it
got would go to Biggs where that road
makes connection with the o. r. & N.
But if the Columbia Southern could be
induced to unite with The Dalles, and
build a circuitous line of road from its
present terminus, through Sherman
county and around through to Bake
even and Antelope countries, finally
reaching The Dalles, all the trade
south OF here could be controlled and
would finally reach this place. where
very advantageous rates can be made |
for further transportation either
by river or rail. If we are going to
do anything for ourselves and for The
Dalles now is the time to act. Now is |
when we should begin casting about
and forming combinations that will
make MS masters Of the situation in
the future.

TIE END NOT FAR orr.
Negotiations Pending for Ending the
Cuban War.

|
CHICAGO, Feb. ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Secret negotiations are now actual
ly in progress between the state de-
partment aud the insurgents in Cuba
looking to a stoppage OF the war on
some financial basis to be agreed upon
hereafter. President Mckinley has
not recognized the insurgents as bel.
ligerants. and he cannot therefore
treat with them openly, as he would
do with diplomatic representative of
an independent nation. Direct COM
munication has, however, been had
within the last few weeks between the
insurgent government and the admin
istration here.
The insurgents have expressed per-
feet willingness to assume a reason
able share Of the Spanish bonds issued
against the Cuban revenues. The
proposition has been considered with
some favor, and the president and his
cabinet have discussed several plans
for. guaranteeing the Cuban debt on
the sole basis of Independence.
These negotiations have gone side
by side with the gradual massing of
the ships of tho North Atlantic squad
ron within striking distance OF Cuba.
Orders to the crusier Montgomery TO
sail at once for the harbor OF Matanzas
have been issped, and the ship is ex-
pected to he received there quite as
as the Maine was in Havana.
The orders to her commander contem-
plate call on Consul Brice at Matau-
zas. Should everything be found
the ship will proceed to San
,iago de Cuba, but should affairs look
threatening at Matanzas, another ship
will quietly be slipped to the latter
bort, and before Captain-General
3lanco knows what is happening to
lim American ships will be in the
larbor of every important port In
cuba.
The gradual occupation OF the island

art and parcel OF the negotiations

a Rich Strike.

WASHINGTON, Feb. General Mer-
riam yesterday opened at Seattle dis
patches brought by Special Messenger
Wells from Captain Ray, the depart
ment's special representative in the
Klondike, and telegraphed an abstract
to the department. Acting Secretary
Miekeljohn was so much impressed
with the statements wired that he SUBJ
mitted the dispatch at once to Secre-
tary Alger, and the paper was finally
sent to the White House, where it
formed the subject of consideration at
the cabinet meeting today,
1t is said the report fully justiies all
that has been done to relieve the sit
uation at the Klondike The report
is particularly acceptable in view of
the conflicting statements as to the
conditions in the gold fields. for it is
not doubted that Captain Ray had a
broader field of observation than
others who made reports. This report
is taken as establishing facts for all
official purposes.
The state of affairs in the Klondike,
as thus revealed, is worse than was eX-
pected at the war department. So
large is the task that remains to be ex-
ecu.ed in order to insure the safety of
life and property on the American
side alone that the war department
officials have concluded to advise con-
gress as to the facts and place upon
the legislative branches the duty of
deyisiug ways and meaEs to meet the
exigencies of the situation.

ENCOURAGING signs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-It now looks
as if the war that has so long been
raging in Cuba with such appalling
disaster to both life and property,
will be brought to an end. 1t is cer-
tain that state department officials
have been in earnest consultation
with the insurgents, and the concen-
tration of the big naval force of the
United States about the island of Cuba
carries out the theory so prevalent
that the time has arrived to put stop
to further barbarities.

HIS POSITION is PLAIN.

At last we know what position Pres.
ident Mckinley will take on the finsn-
cial question. While hob-nobbing
with National Association of the Man
ufacturers of the United States at
New York last week, he spoke in
terms so plain that anyone can under
stand. He has deserted his former
views of bimetallem, and in unmistak-
able words announced to the world
that the policy of his administration
will be in the furtherance Of the gold
standard, Further, he takes the posi-
tion that the debtor, NO matter what
the contract. must pay his obligations

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Japan has
been removed as an element in opposi-
tion to the consummation of the an
nexation of the Hawaiian islands by
the United States. This result has
been attained by the conclusion of an
agreement between both governments,
which, by practically settling the
status of the Japanese in Hawaii, re-
moves the only substantial difference
that existed between the two govern
ments.

NEW YORK, Feb. l. Thomas A.
Edison, jr., is experimenting with an
airship which he believes will be a
success. 1t is the invention of Frank
Sauther. of Milwaukee, but Edison hit
by accident on gas which he be-
lieves is the orly thing required to
make the ship practical one. Sails
were substituted instiad of any pro-
pelling power. MIR. Edison says:
SIT was at this point that 1 conceived
the really new principle. 1t struck
me that it would be good idea to in
fate the sails with gas, thus making
them serve as balloons as well as sup
plying the sailing power. 1t would
not do to make baggy balloons for the
sails, so they are diyided into numer-
GUS compartments, which, when in
f1ated, resemble water bags. The
tubes running to the balloon are
tapped in three places to supply gas
to the mainsail, and rubber tubes
carry gas to two jibs. The compart-
ments of the mainsail are connected
by narrow openings, the gas thus flow
ing freely through the entire sail. "A
rudder completes the airship.
