After many weeks of work, faithful
and tireless, by public-spirited citizen
committees of Portland, the Oregon In
dustrial Exposition will tonight open its
doors to the public, celebrating the
event in an appropriate manner by the
rendering of program appropriate for
the occasion. The people will pour into
the great building, and they will find
there many features to amuse, please
and instruct them. a vast undertaking
it is to put such an enterprise on its feet,
and get such mum bers of exhibits into a
presentable shape, but the gigantic task
has been accomplished.
After a thorough overhauling of its
machinery and the making of several
changes in the same, the little steamer
Inland Flyer, of the D. P. & A. N. line,
left Portland at 10 o'clock today 10 ply
between that place and The Dalles. AL
though the Flyer was run under light
reached in trihe over four hours, and
left that place at 2 80 for The Dalles.
As there is but one boat, the Dalles City,
on the route at present, the Flyer will
make. but three trips week until such
time as another boat is put on, when it
will make daily trips between here and
Portland.
The activity, which no bystander can
help but note, around the Mays &
Grove property, demonstrates plainly
the efforts these gentlemen are making
to reconstruct their store buildings as
quickly as possible. Work on the cellar
of the store building is being pushed as
rapidly as possible, and although the ex-
cavatipg is very difficult it is almost
finished. The excavating for the drain
age pipes which lead from the cellar to
the sewer across Second street is progress
ing fast and will be finished in short
time. A large amount of rock for the
foundation is already on the ground
while about five carloads of lumber ar
rived yesterday and is being unloaded
today:
Interviews with several prominent
Esheepmen of Long Greek valley show
that there is a determination on the

and wool for higher prices next year,
and reports from railroad points OF

cents per pound strengthen that deter
mination. One sheepman, when asked
if he did not believe the "high-water''
mark had been reached already, eaid
''that such might be the case, but care

not be any higher next spring, he had
no fear of fall. There is money in

noticeable decline in the price of sheep

our present greatest market will be re-

Washington Letter.
(From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 29, 1898.

WASHINGTON, July 20, 1893.
President Mckinley and mem.
bers of the cabinet have agreed
upon the course to take in dealing
with the request of Spain, through
the Frensh Ambassador, as to ne.
gotiatiating peace. IF Spain is
ready to surrender and accept oul
terms Of peace, there will be nc
difficulty in bringing about a
speedy cessation Of hostilities, but
if the inquiry was prompted by a
desire to entrap this government
into declaring it's intentions toward
the Philippines in the hope that
they might be of such a nature
that some ofzthe powers would at
tempt to object, she will find that
this government is not to be easily
entrapped. President Mckinley
has already intimated> to several
representatives of powers who
sought to OBTAIN a hint of his in
tentions toward the Philippines
that it was none of their business.
Spain is in no condition to quib-
BILE over terms of peace. It is on
~ a question of CARRYING out plans
now we'll under way when we : hall
be in possession Of every foot of
territory she owns outside herown
boundaries. The sooner she an
nounces complete surrender and
willingness to leave the, terms Of
peace to the magnanimity Of this
government. the more liberal terms
she will get. This must sooner or
later become apparent to Spain,
just as it did that no talk of peace
through any other power or pow
ers would be paid any attention to
by this government. It was only
when the request to know whether
this government would entertain
propositions looking toward peace
came directly from the govern
ment Of Spain that President Nc
Kinley replied to It, and. it will be
only when Spain announces her
Willingness to accept our terms
that peace will be had.

be disseminated against.
If Spain attempted to open the
negotia tions for peace with the ex-
pectations that it would cause anv
cessation of active military opera
lions Oh our part she is doomed to
disappointment. General Miles
landed on Porto Rico early this
week, and his army has been daily
strengthened by re-inforcements
and he will go right ahead with
his campaign for the capture of
the entire island. The news of the
capture of Manila is daily expect
ed.

Those who have, from the first
contended that when Admiral
SIMPSONS official report of the
navel battle resulting IN the de-
struction Of Cervera's fact was re-
ceived it would show that full JUS
tice would be done to all partici-
pating in the great naval victory
are fully justified by the report,
which is this week made public.
Admiral Sampson does not in the
slightest degree attempt to take
credit for himself or his flagship
that should belong to Commodore
Schley and the captains of the
ships which assisted in destroying
the Spanish fleet. Admiral Samp-
Son says Of his flagship, the New
York: ''She was not, at any time,
within range Of the heavy Spanish
ships, and her only part in the fir
ing was to receive the undivided
fire from the forts in passing the
harbor entrance and to fire a few
shots at one Of the destroyers,
thought at the moment to be try
ing to escape from the Glouces-
! ter" The reports of Commodore
Schley, Captain Evans of the To-
wa, Philip Of the Texas, Taylor of
the Indiana, and Clark of the Or
egon, to Admiral Sampson, we're
at the same time made public.
That Commodore Schley had no
hard feelings was shown by the
following words in his report: Il
congratulate you most sincerely
upon this great victory to the
squadron under your command,
and L am glad that 1 had an op-
portunity to contribute in the
least to victory that seems big
enough for all of u.s.
Full details received from San
tlago by the war department show
that General Shafter was in no
way to blame for the action of
General Garcia in withdrawing his
troops from near Santiago and de-
claring that he would no longer
act under Gen. Skaters orders.
Garcia refused to be satisfied with
anything less than such official
recognition by Gen., Shafter as
would have been a pla ,tical recog-
milton of the Cuban republic by
the United States, and that, Of
course, Gen. Shafter could not
give without violating the very
positive orders he received before
he went to Cuba. President Nc
Kinley wishes to treat the insure-
ents with every possible courtesy
and consideration, bnt his reasons
for declining to recognize the in
surgent government. or rather at
legged government, are much
stronger now than they were pre-
vious to the war. In the ewes Of
the world this government is re-
sponsible for the government Of
Cuba after it passes out Of the con-
troll Of Spain, and it is going to be
q military government until such
time that the President shall de-
eide otherwise, In deciding upon
the permanent government for
Cuba, the insurgents will not be-

received Immediately upon their arrival
at the department. Their visit was
comparatively brief and the CONVERSE
ticn was purely perfunctory, being de-
voted almost entirely to the considera-
ton of the arrangements for the minis
ter's call formally upon the president
for the presentation of his credentials.
PRESENTED TO MKINLEY TODAY.
This ceremony would have been OBJ
served today. but for the fact that the
president was engaged with his cabi
Let at the time usually allotted to such
functions. 1t was therefore arranged
that Minister Polo should be given an
audience by the president at the White
House tomorrow morning at IL O'Clock.
He viii meet the secretary of state at

him to the White House.
In view of the strained relations now
existing between the United States and
Spain, more than usual interest at
taches to the addresses which viii be
exchanged between the chief executive
and the Spanish minister on this coca
sion. These addresses will be prepared
with unusual care, and will be watched
with interest, inasmuch as they may
be, to some extent, significant of the
sentiments of the representatives of the
two governments on the vital questions
now at issue between them.

officers On the Retired List Would Be
Given Commands.

Given commands.
Washington, March lin anticlpa-
ton of a rupture between the United
States and Spain, many naval officers
on the retired list have notified the
secretary of the navy of their wiling
ness and readiness to perform any
duty in the line of their profession that
he may deem suitable for them. There
seems to be considerable misapprehen-
sion on the part of the general public
as TO the availability of officers on the
retired list for active duty in times of
war. Section 1,462 of the revised stat
utes, bearing on this subject, provides
as follows:
No officer on the retired list of the
navy shall be employed on active duty
except in time of war;
Under this section it is apparent that
if war should break out all officers on
the retired list, competent to serve will
be subject TO the orders of the secre-
tary of the navy. Another statute
bearing on this subject, contained in
sections l 1853 and 1454, is as follows:
In time of war the president, by and
with the advice and consent of the
senate, may detail officers on the retired
list to the command of squadrons and
single ships, when he believes that the
good of the service requires that they
shall be so placed in command. In
making said details, the president may
select any officer not below the grade
of commander and assign him to the
command of a squadron with the rank
and title of flag officer and any Off
GER so assigned shall have the same
authority and receive the same obedi-
ence from the commanders of ships of
his squadron holding commissions of
an older date that he will be entitled to
receive if his commission was the
Oldest"
It thus appears that the president
has power to assign any retired officer
of the navy to duty during the prog
ress of war, but that he can only as
sign him to the command of squad
rons or ships by and with the advice
and consent of the senate. There are
many officers on the retired list in the
full enjoyment of health and mental
vigor. despite the fact that they are
now 62 years of age, whose ability and
experience would undoubtedly be of
great advantage to the nation in case
it proved necessary to go toward de-
Tense OF its honor and dignity. Nota-
BILE among those is Rear Admiral John
G. Walker. recently retired for age. and
who is now engaged in special duty as
president of the Nicaragua canal COM
mission.
