With the fall OF Santiago the
question of war is eliminated from
the market so far as Spain is con-
cerned.
1t daily becomes less probable
that the European Powers will
actually interfere in any way in
the final settlement. That they
will tender their good offices and
make diplomatic representations
is to be expected.
General conditions throughout
the country are excellent.
Cheap money is assured for
some time.
Never before have we occupied

bic position.
Experience and good informa-
ton have never been so valuable.

A WEST SIDE ROMANCE.
An Aged Couple Disappointed in the
Clergyman of Their Choice.

The ordinarily quiet precincts of upper
Chandler street were the scene of a TO
nance Thursday night. At 9 o'clock An
drew Darling ofr517 Park avenue, aged rs,
admitted to a Spy man that he was in
possession of a marriage license; that Mrs.
Ellen Chandler, aged 60. was the other
person interested; that an event of i'm
portance to them both was imminent. but
as to time and place he was taciturnity it
self. Mr.. Darling cheerfully announced
that he was old enough not to be under
the necessity of consulting his parents
before taking such a step, and also af
ffrned that his desire for marital joy and
comfort was as strong as 1t ever lwas--a
statement which mo one present had the
temertty to deny. Mrs. Ellen Chandler
smiled approvingiy when her patriarchal
finance talked OF home comforts.
From the air OF suppressed eXciteme emit
that pervaded the house, the reporter con-
cluded that the couple was just on the
point of seeking the clergyman. Such was
the case. At $50 they started in quest of
the Rev. II. P: Smith OF the Dewey Street
Baptist Church. He was engaged, how
ever, and after aifruitless attempt to find
a substitute, they decided to postpone the
ceremony until this morning at 9 o'clock.

MR.. BARTLETT FAVORED.
Post 10 Unanimously Endorses Him for
Department Commander.

At the regular meeting Of Post 10,
Thursday evening, the candidacy of
Past Commander VIM. H. Bartlett was
endorsed for department commander at
tine coming state election. The delegates
were instructed to vote for him and
work for his election.
Indications look well for Mr.. Bart
let's election, and favorable reports are
heard from various parts of the state.
Mr.. Bartlett has been a prominent
figure in the post for many years In
1893 he was the commander and during
Gen Beasey's term of office as depart
ment commander he was on his staff.
He was at one time president of the
48th Massachusetts, Regimental Associa-
ton. Mr.. Bartlett's .eloquence has
brought him often into prominence in a
public way.
The other candidate in the field is
Senior Vice Commander Dean Mr..
Bartlett's vote will come from the COM
rades who are opposed to the so-called
house of lords'a existing in the order,
for he has pledged himself to work
for it's discontinuance.

turned from the region and described
hot springs, geysers of mud, etc, he was

long known as PColters He'll"
The park was formed, perhaps, 10000
years ago by a large volcanic eruption,
and geology has explained in detail the
moth paint pots,' the springs and
cascades were formed. These various
phenomena and freaks of nature were
wildly described and much enlivened
by accounts Of the doctors own eXpe-
riences. The hotels throughout the park
are excellent and cheap, and the speak
err made some interesting confessions
about his appetite. At the Mammoth
Hot Springs Hotel, after one Of these
bounteous dinners, the guests were be-
ing entertained by an exhibition OF
breaking IN a wild broncho, when
beefy Englishman asserted that the
whole thing was a fraud, and that the
animal was trained to do the trick. lie

cautiously, and said a word of encour--
agement to the little animal in GOOD
cockney English. The effect was in
Simultaneous. The broncho stretched his
legs convulsively,' and Dr. Lewis judged
that a. conservative estimate of the dis
lance which the Briton was thrown was
80 feet.
All the wonders in the way of springs,
geysers, etc, are concentrated in
place known as "Hell's Half Acre." Of
which Dr.. Lewis spoke feelingly. At
one point the road winds about ba-
saltic cliff, which, for a long time de-
fed the drill, until Col. Norris of the
army built huge fires against the rock
and then dashed water on ii, which shat
tered the surface into fragments.
Altogether the great sights of the
park were most appreciatively described,
and their close attention and hearty APP
nlause attested the pleasure of the au-
dience. as

INDUSTRIES OF OREGON.
Robert Farquhar of Boston Tells OF a
Great States Products and Natu-
raj Beauties.

Robert Farquhar Of Boston, the we'll
known horticulturist, spoke on Oregon
and it's natural advantages, before a
large audience, in Horticultural Hall,
Thursday afternoon. Mr.. Farquhar has
just retutfied from an extended tour in
the northwest and since he combines
powers of accurate scientific observa-
ton with considerable poetic instinct, he
is a very instructive and entertaining
lecturer He began by saying that the
natural endowments of Oregon are apt

markable. in fertility, and although
there are greatSextremes of temperature,
fruits and vegetables attain an enor-
nous size. The legislature has been
particularly careful of the horticultural
interests, and laws for the inspection of
seed andsimported plants have had the
result that insects, troublesome in the
east, are unknown there.
The raising of prunes is a recent in
dustry, and promises well, ordinary soil
yielding a uniform profit of 500 per
acre. Excellent stereopticon views were
shown of watermelon fields literally
covered with melons fabulous in size;
Of apple orchards whose trees were
breaking with the load of fruit and of
wheat fields where an army Of reapers
was at work.
Most interesting were the pictures il

The fish are caught in huge wheels,
which are a4volved by the rapid current

up the fish in great nets as they ascend
the stream and deposit them in boxes.
They are then hoisted out by ma
chinery and carried to the canning fac
tories, where they sell for two cents a
pound From one such wheel a profit OF
$50, 900 was made last year.
Mr.. Farquhar was particularly happy
in describing the phases OF Indian life
which he saw. His pictures of Indian
families, Of the interior OF "tepees' ana
of God types, among them were well
chosen and realistic One in particular,
of a by-gone belle of the Seattle tribe,
brought forth hearty applause. He had
conversed with the Indian guide to ad-

In speaking of his arrival in the Qua

Edward Hanlon Ten Eyck has finally
decided to enter the University of Penn

no connection whatever with the crew.
While Ten Eyck would greatly
strengthen PENIS crew., it is doubtful
whether the rowing committee would
ask him to take a place in the boat He
has a. perfect right to a place in the
boat whether asked or not, as he is an
amateur, champion Of the world in that
class. and if he stands we'll in his

GEN. SKATER
Denies the Correctness of Some Press
Reports.--The Food Situation at
Santiago,

Washington, July 27.-The War De-
partment to-day made public the fol-
lowing dispatch received from Gen.
Shafter in response to query by the
department as to ships being turned
away from Santiago:
Santiago, via Hayti, July 26.
Adjutant General United States Army,
Washington
Press reports not true. | only know
of three ships having arrived, one
from Kingston, the others from the
United States. The Brattan has sold
its cargo, the others, ship from
New Orleans. has sold only a part of
it, and tells me he is going away to-
night. l think he will sell before he
leaves. The trouble is they did not
expect to pay any duty and arrived
here without money. The Spanish
customs as applied to Spanish subjects
has only been collected, and the TWEEN
ty cents per ton as ordered by the
Secretary. l discovered this morning
an attempt On the part of the munic-
ipal authorities to collect local tax
Of forty cents per one hundred kilos,
in this instance amounting to TWEEN
ty-fiye hundred dollars. I had already
settled this matter by ordering its nom
collection. The fact is there is no
money here to do business and mer-
chants are very timid about maxim
purchases, fearing the effect of the
Red Cross supplies, who really are
feeding the town. The New Orleans
man, for instance, brought twenty
nine head of cattle, which sold at
eighty-fve dollars per head; the per-
son buying kills one a day, selling the
meat at seventy cents per pound. OF
course only a few people buy. The
first week we were here people were
starving to death, and I think few
now are i'll from the effects of starva-
ton. l am positive. however, that
the customs have been honestly adj
ministered. SKATER,

Charleston, w. Va, July "a
week ago it was announced unoficially
that the first West Virginia regiment,
in camp at Chickamauga, would pro-
coed at once to Newport News to en-
bark for Porto Rico and that the regi-
ment would go east via the Chesapeake
& Ohio railroad.
The announcement caused great en-
thusiasm. among the people along the
line of the road. in this State, and
preparations were made to give the
boys a cordial greeting and Godspeed
on their way.
The days came and went by, but the
West Virginia regiment remained at
Chfckamauga until it began to look as
If they would not be sent to the front.
Becoming anxious about the matter,
Governor Atkinson yesterday wired
Secretary of War Alger, as follows:
my State was one OF the first to
respond to the Presidents call for
troops. Our First regiment, now at
Chickamauga, Is regarded by General
Brooke as one of the best regiments
They are very anxious to go to Porto
Rico, and my State will feel it keenly
if the war ends without giving them
chance to so to the front. If possible,
please have them 60"
The Governor also wired Senator
Elkins, at Elkins:
Il fear our First regiment Is not
going,to get into the Porto Rico move
ment. They are equipped and are
anxious to get to the front. Unless
they get to go they will blame you and
me- Other regiments, not so well
equipped, are going. Can't you reach
the Secretary of War Immediately
with request to send our men. l am
satisfied that request from you will
fix our boys. Won't you wire the Sec
rotary of War immediately"
Subsequently, the Governor received
the following telegram from Senator
Elkins:
"The First West Virginia was sure
to go. l 60 to Washington tomorrow
and will see Secretary of War in per-
son. | will do what l can"
At late hour tonight the Governor
