Mclean Denies the story.

Washington, Aug. 23.-The statement
first published in the Cincinnati Times
Star that John II. Mclean would not in
terest himself in the Ohio democratic
convention because he was to succeed Al
ger in McKinley's cabinet, was an error,
as the following from Bar Harbor will
show:

81. r. M'LEAN."
A special from the Cincinnati Times
Star was reproduced in the papers here
last night that John r. Mclean would
not be represented by Chairman Dan
McConnville, Lewis G.. Bernard or any
one of his former lieutenants who are at
this convention, and the reason for his
not taking part was said to be due to the
report that John r. Mclean is to sue
coed Secretary R. A. Alger in Mckinley 5
cabinet.

WILL ENTERTAIN EDITORS.
Their Gathering at Spokane to Be
"a Notable Event.

Spokane, Aug. 22.--Plans are nearly
perfected for the entertainment of the
visiting newspaper men of the northwest
who will be in Spokane this week.
Never before has there been such Il
gathering in the history of the country.
The Oregon Press Association and the
Washington Press Association come here
for their annual meetings. Not as an as
ISOLATION but individually the editors OF
Idaho come and before they go home they
will probably have effected the reorgani
cation of their association From Mon
tana more editors will come, while from
British Columbia there will be a represen
tatiye attendance of bright newspaper
men.
The men who make the papers of four
states and province will thus be gath

tensive assembly of editors was ever be-
fore attempted on the Pacific slope.
As the visiting newspaper men and their
families come in on the trains Wednesday
evening and Thursday morning they will
be met at the depot and escorted to head
quarters which will probably be estab-
lished in the Symons block. There they
will register, be given badges and be as
signed to rooms.
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock bust
ness sessions of the associations will COM
mence in the court house. The Washing
ton association will meet i'll one of the
court rooms and the Oregon association
in another If a meeting place Is desired
by the Idaho delegation it will be proVid-
ed in the court house, close to the other
associations.
The morning business sessions will con
tinue to noon, when adjournment will he
taken to 2. The afternoon sessions will
continue to p. m. During the afternoon
there will be musicale and reception
at the Hotel Spokane, under the auspices
of the Ladies' Matinee Musicale, for the
visiting ladies. The arrangements for this
portion of the entertainment are in the
hands of Mrs. Arthur j. Shaw, who is
arranging a delightful program.
From to o'clock p. IN. the newspaper
people will be the guests of the Spokane
Street Railway Company on a trolley car
ride about the city. Story Buck, OF the
general committee on arrangements, viii
be commander-in-chef of the trolley rifle.

paper people will assemble at the Hotel
Spokane, where general public reception
will be rendered in the parlors. 1t is
desired to make this an affair where the
visitors will meet the people of Spokane
No invitations will be issued, the under
standing being that general invitation
is extended to all.

San Francisco, Aug. 23.-The trans

may be sent to Manila. 1t is understood
that the Eighth California will be one
of the last regiments to go.
The Sixth California and the First

of going away. The same is true OF the
four California heavy batteries.

Porto Rico Items.

The island of Porto Rico contains
only $3.50 square miles, being little
larger than our State of Delaware
It's population is thoroughly cosmopol-
itan, the Spanish people forming only
a small percentage of the whole. The
total population is at present about
100000.
The three chief ports of the island
are San Juan, in the northeast; Ponce
in the southwest, and Mayaguez, in
the west. Of these, San Juan (some-
times called Porto Rico) is the most
important, its population being about
$4,000. 1t is a place of some military
strength, and contains a governors
palace in the old fort of Santa Cat
alma, palace erected by Ponce de
Leon, cathedral, a town house and
theatre. Its harbor is one of the best
in the West Indies, having compare
lively unobstructed entrance, and
along the wharves depth at low wat
er of from ten to fifteen feet.-Dem-
orest's Magazine for November.

A Well Known Oil Man.

The Sistersville Oil Review gives the
following sketch of Rodell s. Crane,
who died at the City Hospital Park
ersburg, on Saturday evening:
Crane was in this city about three
weeks ago and when he got his pen
sion money left, as he said, for Day.
ton, o., to enter the soldiers home
at that place. A-e went to Dayton, but
only stayed there very few days, as
he did not like the restrictions. He
was on his way back to this city and
had gotten as far as Parkersburg
when he was taken i'll and went to the
hospital.
There has been at no time in the
history of the oil country, a man who
was better known than Zell Crane.
He has been in all the fields from 1865
down to the present time and has al
ways been in business of some kind
so that he always became acquainted
with the people.
In the years gone by, Crane was at
different times worth quite a sum of
money and mas been in very comfort
able circumstances, until the later
years Of his life, when he lost the
greater part of it."

A Penny Each.

Today the school children will be
asked to contribute to fund to be ap-
piled to the erection Of a monument
to the French-American hero Mar
quis de Lafayette, which is to be un-
yelled at Paris on July 4, 1900.
The day will be the anniversary of
the surrender Of CORVALLIS at York
town and the date is BETTING the oc-
casion.
The contributions are to be strictly
voluntary and will range from a penny
to dime. There are some who can
not give g. penny and others who can
give more, but there will be no dis
elimination whatever. The principle
to be inculcated by the giving of the
penny is the same and equally as
great as that of the dime.
The monument is to cost $3.50. 600
and Ohio's share of this amount is
$4,000. In 1897 the total enrolment
of the school children was 1926, $50 and

people and in following the people he
made no mistake. We have had great
glory out of the war, and in it's settle
ment we must be guided only by the

problems Of the war our next triumph
must be those Of commerce, not by

squadron in the Pacific, except Eng

is no menace to any foreign nation in
this circumstance. 1t simply means
that the United States is going to get
all of the Philippines, and is going to
hold them. Spain is virtually dispos-
sessed of them already. If the United
States let go the Insurgents would ov-
errun the whole of them. Spain's au-
thority in them is broken. Nor will
she be permitted to sell or donate any
of them to any other nation. The

Absurdity of Bounty Laws.

$4,000 to crowd of Italian sharpers

poisoned wheat about the streets of
Indiana cities. The carcasses were
shipped to southern Michigan towns,
and the bounties collected as on birds
killed in Michigan. This shows the

MADRID, Sept 20.-The workmen OF
Bilbao, where the cruisers which be-
longed to Admiral Cervera's fleet Were
built, have decided to go to Santander
in order to make a demonstration
against the defeated Spanish Admiral
on his return to Spain. The Govern
ment, however, has taken measures to
prevent the plan being carried out, and
the Ministry has forbidden demonstra-
tons welcoming Cervera home.
Captain General Blanco cables from
Havana that he is not in accord with
the Cuban Colonial Ministry, to which
the Government here replied that while
Spanish sovereignty existed in Cuba he
must apply autonomy, and, therefore,
he could not turn out the Colonial Gov
eminent now in office and appoint a
new one.
The Duke of Tetuan, who was Minis
ter Of Foreign Affairs in the Cabinet of
the late Premier, Canovas del Castillo,
is quoted as saying in an interview:
Senior Canovas, if he had lived,
would never have accepted war with
the United States. Canovas and my
self We're convinced that the war would
lead inevitably to the ruin of Spain''
Continuing, the Duke blamed the Lib
erals, who, he said, could have averted
war, either by accepting the proffered
good offices of the United States Min
lister, General Stewart L. Woodford, or
by treating with the insurgents on the
basis of Cuban independence or by SELL
ing Cuba.
Senior Sagasta, the Duke of Tetuan
declared, is responsible for all our dis
asters, and must be elected from power.
