Many Details Remaining.

Many details remain to be agreed up
on which are not even referred to in the
protocol. Such Of these as relate to
purely military and naval subjects will
be referred to a military commission
This commission may encounter some
difficulty in making a disposition of the
Spanish soldiers in Cuba and Porto Ri
co and the military and naval prisoners
now in the United States. The Spanish
government is showing a remarka BILE
unwillingness to provide for the return
of these soldiers and sailors to Spain.
This has gone so far as to lay the Span
ish government open TO the charge of
Indifference as to the fate of the men
who struggled for her cause. European
advices received here from private
sources throw some light upon this, say
ing that the Spanish government is ap-
prehensive that the returning warriors
will join the Carlists and break out in
open rebellion against the present dy-
nasty. 1t is probable the military COM
mission will be clothed with adequate
power to deal with this question in the
interest of the United States.

| Washington, Aug. 13.-The long look
ed for dispatch authorizing the French
ambassador to accept the terms OF the
United States has at last arrived. and
officials in the state department are at
length relieved of their anxiety lest
something might occur to delay the sue
cessful outcome OF the negotiations
which it has been conducting with the
Spanish government through NJ. Cam
bon for the cessation of hostilities.
While the particular document is
properly enough described as protocol
1t is still technically something more
than that. 1t is an agreement midway
between that and the armistice which
usually intervenes between active war
and final peace. So far as 1t goes, this
protocol is absolutely a peace treaty.
Thus, having provided for the DISPOSE
ton Of Cuba. Porto Rico and one of the
Ladrone islands, there is nothing more
for any peace commission to do in rela-
ton to those subjects. Their fate is
sealed. and the protocol in that respect
Is as binding as any definitive treaty of
peace. 1t was such protocol as this
that was signed by President Theirs
and Prince Bismarck to terminate the
Franco-Prussian war, and the condi-
lions therein laid down were not even
subject to revision at the hands of the
peace commission that followed

HIGH CARNIVAL FOR ORANGE

The residents of Orange and vicinity will be happy Wednesday, September 21. That will be gala for the mem bers of Orange Grange and the friends of the agricultural organization. The Derby News says: A meeting Of | prominent members and residents of l the quaint village held a meeting last | night, and it was voted by the Grange | to hold a, Grange Agricultural Fair on new grounds recently selected for that purpose. A general and sub-com- mittee, selected from the hustling agrarians, were given their share of | the arrangements for the big day and ! they are out early to attend to the work assigned them.
 It will be the greatest affair ever held in the village, and everyone is pre- pairing already to participate. The old town is to be dressed in gay attire for the occasion, and it is needless to say that a great crowd of people from adjoining towns and high office holders in the State Grange will be present This will be the first fair the Grange has had. Heretofore they worked in conjunction with the Wood
 bridge Grange. They contributed much to the success of Woodbridge fairs, with exhibits of farm products, horses ] poultry and fancy work.
 This year they will have as good if not a better exhibit and a day for l themselves and friends at home Premiums will be offered for the best | of everything shown at the fair. A draught contest for horse and oxen is among the events for which prizes are to be awarded, and the poultry, farm produce and fancy work premiums will be well worth contesting for.
 | A feature of the day will be the grand street pageant. The public is invited to participate in the street parade The procession will be a moving line of gayety, and the vehicles and bicycles that are to have place | in the line will be trimmed in an at tractive manner. The residents of Orange and vicinity will have a wagon | in the line. Hundreds of yards of bunting will be used in decorating the houses, wagons, bicycles and boothes at the fair grounds. The Mayflower 1 drum corps will head the procession Besides farm products and fancy work | there will be an exhibit of impliments and useful articles for farmers.
 The general committee is composed | of c. V. Woodruff, D. E. Russell, W. S. Hine and F. J. Treat. All hands are out hustling to make ready for the big | time that is coming.

The Stock Market.

New York, Aug. 31.-To-day's stock

 Possibly the large buying and sharp

THE OLDEST WOMAN IN THIS
 STATE,

In Moosup there lives a little old wo- man who has reached the senenth age, noted by Shakespeare. She is Mary Casey Coffee. Her birthplace, Ireland; her adopted home, Plainfield She came here three years ago on money her thrifty and saving daughter, Kate Coffee, had saved from her earnings. For twenty-five years Kate, now sixty years old, has worked faithfully in the homes of the Atwoods, Fenners and Matthewsons here and has saved a lit- tie home from her earnings. Her old mother then in county Kerry, was still dear to her. She started three years ago for Ireland, and with her on the re- turn trip came her dear old mother then one hundred and three. At this time the old lady was nimble of foot; she could walk about, and after she ar rived here attended mass punctuallysat the Moosup Catholic church, of which Father Broderick is pastor. This post centenarian attracted much attention.
 
 very old. How old was quandary. To satisfy the incredulous, and also to satisfy her own desire in the matter, the members of the family wrote to a priest in county Kerry, her birthplace and asked him to ascertain her age. The kind priest looked over the parish records long time, when he came one day upon her name, Mary Coffee" The record bore testimony to the age of one hundred and six years. Less than a year ago the old lady began to fail in strength.
 In Montville, Marvin Smith lived to be one hundred and two. He was the wonder of the century. Now in quiet Moostp one can see still older person. Lying on her clean bed attended by her l daughter, the little, dried-up, thin spec imen lay asleep when seen by the Bull letin correspondent. Her sleep was calm, but her fallen jaw showed weak ness Her breathing seemed purely mechanical and shallow. She was sans teeth, sans hair, sans speech to great extenD; her former 1.-the, supple and agile self had gone-decayed. Yet to her children she Is still mother. To outsiders, a human curiosity, whom God has let live beyond all her fellows. Norwich Bulletin.

He lives in the great good he has accomplished; he lives in Him who will never let his faithful and loved ones die; he lives eternally. There have been times since l last saw him, when l have longed to get close to him, and feel the beating of his great sympathetic heart, He was so wise in counsel, and withal so genial and bright. He was possessed of such sterling sense and judgment, being in- deed, as have often called him a we'll greatly beloved!" II have set him on high, because he hath known my name" But the world seems poorer without him.

FREE BAPTISTS' CONFERENCE.
 Old Orchard, Me, Aug, S1.-The inn portant question at the forenoon ses- sion of the Free Baptlsts' conference at Ocean park to-day was the number of field secretaries to be employed by the denomination, together with the ques- ton of time and place of holding the next general conference, It was refer red to the conference board with power to act. An important step in Sunday school work was the recommendation that Sunday schools be graded with provision with graduation from one grade to the next.
 It was voted to raise $25OO per year in aid5 of students preparing for the ministry in Free Baptist schools and colleges.
 A. l.. Freeman of Massachusetts, D. B. Ball of New York and F. Fl. Fisher of Michigan were appointed a commit tee on ministerial record for three years.

would suggest as an inducement to the
firemen to become more efficient, that
purse be hung by the property own

Thus the fremen would be encouraged
by the good will shown by citizens,
and through a drill every month
where the competition would be brisk
between all the companies, the men
would become proficient in the use of

G. W. Slayton, of Prineville, who
spent the past two years at Johannes
burg, Sorth Africa, has returned to
Oregon, quite well satisfied that
America is good country in which to
live. Mr.. Slayton was attracted to
Africa by the allurements of the gold
fields, and says for big Investments
and gigantic schemes that country is
all right. though when be left there last
May business was quite dull, the bottom
having dropped out of the boom, and
transactions had settled down to a
normal state.
Mr.. Slayton states that American
products, such as flour, lumber and
some coarse grades of goods, are promi-
nent in Johanna sourg markets, and
considerable American machinery is
sold in the African mining dirtricts.
There is, he says, a general belief in
Africa that Pacific coast fruits. are in
fer0r. and thus we cre deprived of a
good trade in that line that could be
secured if shippers would exercise
more care in packing. If our fruits
were put on the market in shape TO
suit the trade, it would be bnt short
time until il would be in demand.

An attempt was made Thursday to
launch the steamer Dalles City which
is being rebuilt at Supplies 'shipyard in
Portland, but with little success.
Everything was in readiness and when
the word was given to cut the ropes,
the axes fell and the stern gradually
slid down the ways while the bow re-
manned stationery. This was caused
by the weight being in the after part
OF the boat while the bow was COM
paratively free from weight. The
steamer shifted to the port side and
for while it was thought she would
toppie over, but work was Immediately
begun on her and she was placed in a
secure position. No damage whatever
was done to the steamer and in all
probability she will be in readiness to
be launched this evening, after which
she will be taken to the Willamette
Iron Works, where her boilers will be
placed in position.
