MADRID, March 3.-The public is
much exercised over the report of the
presence of a squadron of United
States warships at Hong Kong, as 1t is
presumed the vessels intend to
threaten Manila, the caDital OF the
Philippine islands, in the event OF war
between the United States and Spain.

unnamed high parsonage who scouts
the idea of an imminent rupture. and

The high parsonage is said to have
added: "But America has not so

upon his direction. The state superin-
tendent should therefore be one who
is conversant with every detail of
school work; in short, should be an
educator of unquestioned ability, one
who is not only learned in theories.
but who is practical teacher.
A gentleman who fills all these re-
quirements will be presented before
the state convention by the democrats
of this section, and should the voters
of the state elect him to the honorable
position of state superintendent, we
will be assured of better administra-

Bells Bill to Make Bankers Ineligible for
the Treasury Portfolio.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-Repre-
sentative Bell, of Colorado, has intro
duced bill providing that no person
interested in an association which is
sues government money shall be eligi
BILE TO the Office of secretary of the
treasury. The ineligibility is not to
be remedied by disposing of the inter-
est in .he association for the purpose
of taking the Office of secretary.
Judge Bell says it was manifestly
never the intention of the trainers of
our laws that banker should be Sec
retary of the treasury. He points out
that bankers are Ineligible for con
troller of the currency and some other
subordinate offices of the treasury, and
he believes the secretary should be
subject to the same law.

LET THEM BE FREE.

IfUnited States senators cannot be
elected by direct vote of the people,
it might, under ordinary circumstances
be we'll for candidates for that Office to
be named at state conventions, with
the understanding that the legislative
nominees of the party naming the can
didate should cast their votes for the
nominee in case of election, for in this
manner the voice of the people could
be heard to some extent: but under ex-
listing circumstances in Oregon this
would not be an advisable move on the
part of the union forces in this state,
though it is strongly urged by some of
the most ardent supporters of union.
While there are some things in favor
Of the scheme, it has many objection
able features; principal among which
Is the prominence that would be given
the senatorial contest in making it
personal matter. That is, should a
nomination, be made, the candidacy of
one man would be made the prime
feature in the selection of legislators.
The republicans of the state posi-
bly, will be hampered in the coming
campaign by such an action. for the
success or defeat Of certain caDdi-
date for the United States senate is
today, and probably will be after the
convention, the bone of contention.
Such a contention is no: to be courted
in the union conventions, in fact it
must not be. The wishes of the en-; :;
tire community for honest legislation
must not be jeopardized for the inter-
ests of any ambitious man. The sem
atorial contest should be removed as
far as possible from the legislative
election. The extent to which it fig.
ures should be that the union legis-
lative nominees be pledged to vote for
no man who will not declare openly
against the single gold standard: but
they should not be tied to any man.

NEW YORK, March 2.-lseports of
the recent battle at Holguin, Santiago
de Cuba, have been received in New
York. Instead of the battle being q
Spanish victory, as represented from
HayaDa, it was disastrous defeat,
followed by retreat of the Spanish
forces. This information comes
through Cuban sources. and is the
cause of great rejoicing, because the
guns and ammunition shipped from
Long Island less than a month ago
were used in the fight. Major Miranda,
who landed :he expedition, reports the
facts without many details, but from
other letters which came by the same
mail the story ia told.

Death Turks In the Way at SEzagway.
VICTORIA, March 3.-Passengers on
the steamer Islander, which reached
here last night from Skagway, confirm
| the report that the Canadian flag has
been raised at Summit Lake. also that
the Canadians will establish a custom
house at Crater Lake.
Martial law has been declared at
Skagway, and the United States troops
who went up on the Queen are enforc-
ing it.
The attempt to float the steamer
Corona so far has been failure. Cap
tain Goodall, who has been conducting
the wrecking operations. has gone
with divers to make further exami-
nation of the vessel. q
7 he death rate at Skagway averages
10 daily, one of the latest victims being
the postmaster.
1t is also stated by passengers of ths
Islander that the Dyea trail is strewn
with dead mules.
Several days ago two Canadian
mounted police marched into Skagway
with two sleds in tow, on which were
strapped the bodies of two dead men.
The attention of the police at Tagish
was attracted by the howls of a d',g.
A few minutes' search on the trail aud
they found the bodies of two men who
had been frozen to death on the trail.
1t is said the dead men were return
ing klondikers, and they are reported
to have had in their possession $3.50, 600
in paper and golddust, one $4,000 and
the other, $4,000. Their names are
not known.
Northwest territory officials have
taken the initiative in the contest for
possession 'ofGSnmmit lake, by raising
the Canadiah flag on its shores. This
lake, according to Dr.. Horace r. Little

garding Alaskan affairs en- the coast.
is situated. as its name implies, at the
summit of White pass, about 16 miles
from Skagway. Both the United
States and Canada claim it, and the
dispute regarding it has engendered
bitter feelings between Americans and
Canadians in Alaska, which have
rapidly increased in intensity of late.
