POLITICAL POINTERS.
Portland Democrats Will Reorganize-

Portland Democrats Will Reorganize-
Judge George for Senator.
PORTLAND, July 25.-The democrats
of Multnomah county are making a
strong effort to reorganlze, and from
present indications Chairman Davis,
of the county central committee, will
be succeeded by either Col. W. H.
Etfinger, who opposed NJ G. George in
the candidacy for judy of th- criminal
court, or by j. Z. Haverly, first vice
president of Columbia Democratic
Club. The selection of either of these
gentlemen would have tendency to
heal existing differences and cement
the warning factions of democracy into
an unbrOken front.
The common opinion is that the
senatorial plum will fall to comprom-
ise candidate, and judging from pres
ent indications Judge M. C. George
stands the best show for the place.
Under the leadership of Chairman
Williams, the populists claim to be
better organized and stronger than
ever before, and have practically
abandoned silver as an issue and will
endeavor to make the fight two years
hence under the banner of direct leg
islation.
Will B. Cody, one of the henchman
OF the late PennOyer regime. and a
brother of AL. Cody, has returned from
an outing trip to st. Martins springs.
Mr.. Cody states that he has had enough
politics to do him for two years, and
will after a short visit TO California,
like Cincinatus, devote himself to
agrarian pursuits.

A BIG FIGHT
PREDICTED
Manila Will Probably
Fall This Week

LONDON, July 25.-All Europe is
looking toward Manila with expecta'
tions that decisive move will be
made this week by the Americans ano
insurgents. London papers predict
that great land battle will soon be
fought and that Manila will probably
be forced to capitulate during the
week.
The belief is general that the Span
ish at Manila cannot hold out long
against the combined forces of the
Americans and the insurgents under
Aguinaldo, and that the battle will
not last longer than two days. The
Spanish however are expected to make
q strong resistance. and fierce bat
tie is considered certain.

far progressed on the torpedo boats
now building at Wolf & Zwickers

shape. and even a landsman can now
tell that the conglomeration of steel
ribs, etc., now visable, will some day
be boat. Work has so far progressed
on the new light ship that she will in
few days be ready to go into the
caulker's hands.
The new boat, the Inland Flyer,
building at Supplies yards for the
Dalles run, which is expected to make
the round trip in one day, is nearly
ready for launching. She is as hand
some propeller craft as one could
wish to see.
Pcrtland's white elephant, the Nor
rison street bridge, is again under
going repairing. The taxpayers are
beginning to find free bridges rather
expensive luxury.
The steam schooner Ruth, of Cal
ifornia, is discharging a cargo of red
wood lumber at the Couch street
wharf The Ruth is one of the finest
schooners now on the coast that is en-
gagged in the lumber traffic, and her
trips are always noted for quick dis
patch. And her cargo of red wood Is
the finest that ever came to this port,
which will be used eX clusively for
fancy interior finishing.
