Lewiston Teller: A horde oil
gamblers and general FOUNDERS and
toughs have congregated ut Lapwai
and at other convenient points on
the reservation where they are
awaiting their rake Off" to follow
the Indian payment. The mer-
chants and other residents Of that
part of the county are disturbed by
the presence of this lawless element.
The farmers who are directly
tributary to Lewiston have practi-
cally finished hauling their wheat.
Large quantities are held at home
this year to avoid the payment OF
storage and with view Of using i,
for feed for beef stock if the price
does not advance materially. II
has been demonstrated that wheat
is worth SO cents and better to feed
to beef steers. An advance above
that figure would bring into market
large reserve. There is now in
the Lewiston warehouses 1885, 900
bushels and at points above Lewis
ton on Snake river within six miles
there are 225,OOO bushels. This
makes a total of 100000 bushels
and the reserve held ut home will
swell this sum to 100000 bushels.
At Lapwai there will be 10000
bushels more swelling our surplus
to / 1000 900 bushels.

Until the recent election of Jo
seph Simon of Portland, Ore.,s t.
be United States Senator, the Senate
lacked one of having its full com
plement of 80 members.
Oregon has been without a Sena.

After the Legislature adjourned the
Governor appointed H. w. Corbet,
to the vacancy, but the Senate re.
fused to admit him.
AS now constituted, the United
States Senate consists Of As Repub.
licans. "a Democrats, 8 Silver Re.
publicans, 5 Populists, 2 silver men
and one Independent. The last is

The number of Senators whose
terms expire next March is 80. OF
these II are Republicans. Is are

II Is reasonably certain that the
Democrats will re-elect their present

doubtful whether the Republicans

vacancies.
There is strong probability that
the two Silver Republicans, the sill

espoused the cause of the laboring
man in the late trouble at Virden
in that State and does not mince
words in charging the mine owners
and managers with murder. He
asserts emphatically that laboring
mans position is as much his
property as the coal mines are the
property of the owners at Virden
and that be has as much right to
defend his position against imported
labor as an owner would have to
defend his property against an
enemy. It 10 his stock in trade, bis
merchandise, from it he derives the
means of self support and the
means TO clothe aud support his

but that the guilty parties would
be tried aud convicted of q henious
Offense.

money metals just as wheat and
corn are now food products; closing

of silver deprecated its value and

price of corn and increase the price
of wheat to close the mills against

WASHINGTON LETTER.

fprom or Regular CorrsspondentJ
WAsHraaroM, Oct. II, 1898.
Senator Foraker exploded = bon bshell
on the Cuban question, this week, BY de-
claring in the most positive terms that
this government has no authority to keep
An army Of occupation, which would be
regarded by the Cuban people and by
foreign nations as an act equivalent to :
declaration Of war against Caba. He
says We have 70 moro right to keep troops
in Cuba for garrison purposes after the
treaty of peace is signed than We would
have to garrison England, France, Ger
many. or any other foreign country. Sen.
ator Foraker's idea is that as soon a. the
Spanish troops have all been forced out
of Cuba, our troops should retire leaving
the Cubans to arrange their government
to suit themselves, and that we should
then patiently await the time, which is
certain to come, when the Cubans shall
ask to be annexed to the United States
This is an entirely new view of the ques-
ton, and if it be shared to any consider
able extent in Congress, there is trouble
ahead, as it is directly opposed to the
views aud plans Of the administration.
The work of the Commission that 10
engaged in investigating the war will,
after this week, be transferred from Wash
ington 10 the military camps. The Com.
mission will start Sunday for Jack sonville,
Fla, to investigate the camp occupied by
the volunteer corps commanded by Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee. 1t is understood that
among the officers in that camp who will
he asked to appear before the Commission
will be Col. Bryan, Of the Third Nebraska
regiment.
The evidence this week does not differ
materially from that taken the FIRST week.
No criminal neglect has been shown.
The sum and substance of the weeks
testimony is that most of the troubles re-
quilted from the inexperience of those
charged with the care of the men.
There seems to be a general desire
among the citizens of our seacoast cities
to be given an opportunity to see some of
the fighting ships Of our navy. In re-
Spouse 10 numerous requests Secretary
Long has ordered the Nashville, the Will
the Montgomery, and the Prince
ton to Charleston, s. g., to participate in
the Peace jubilee exercises to be held
there on the Gath inst. And Philadelphia
has succ eeded in getting orders issued
for the following ships to help make it,
Peace jubilee, to be held on the 9th inst.
u success: The Texas, the New Orleans,
The Marb!ehead. the Topeka, the May
flower, and the Winslow.
According to War Department officials,
the official announcement cabled from
that the Spanish government in
tended to keep strong force OF troops
in Cuba until after the treaty Of peace
has been signed, will cause no deviation
in carrying out the plans for American
Of Cuba on December LIST. |
Tue American Military Commissioners,
1t Havana, have been ordered to notify |
The Spanish Commissioners of our inteo- |
ton TO take charge of the entire island |
1t that date. Spanish troops may remain |
n Cuba after that time, but they will
rave no authority there.
