negotiations for the Sale OF tho Ilwaco
Road In Progress.
Astoria, Nov. At was reported
here this afternoon that negotiations
are in progress between the Astoria &
Columbia River Railroad Company and
the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Com
.pany. It is-said the Astoria company
will absorb the Ilwaco company, and
that boats to Ilwaco and North beach
will run from Flavel, making close con-
nections with the trains to and from
Portland. This will permit summer
visitors to reach North beach in six
hours, without experiencing the delay
that has been the rule in the past.
The scheme includes the improvement
of the terminal facilities at Ilwaco, and
the road from there to Sealand. This
will give the Astoria & Columbia
River road practical monopoly Of all
the summer travel to the beaches on
both sides of the Columbia.

EUROPE IS ALARMED.
A Protest Against Taking the Philip
pines-A Case Of Jealousy.

a KEOeest a 8aanse x0k1nG the Fhtl1p-
pines-A Csse Of Jealousy.
London, Nov. 4.-The Berlin corre-
spOnlent Of the Standard, says: Russia
and another power are credited with
the intention of intimating to Washing
ton that the annexation of the Philip
pines must be preceded by q common
agreement on future action in certain
circumstances. The German papers
express their feeling very frankly. The
Hamburgische Correspondents says:
1.-THE United States is conducting
the peace negotiations as it conduted
the war. The mask of humanity is be-
ing gradually dropped, revealing the
brutal hand OF strength. When the
protocol was signed not foot of Phil
ippine soil was in American hands.
President Mckinley demands the COM
plete surrender only because victory in
the forthcoming elections depends upon
it. The American demand. however,
is less blow to Spain than to the
European powers. which seem DESTROYS
OF selecting naval stations in the Phil
ippines.' -
The Boersen Courier admits that the
powers have no cause for interfering,
but urges them to watch American
expansion with jealous eyes. The Ma
tional Zeitung says:
IF Spain can obtain compensation
sufficient to cover the Philippine islands
and Cuban debts, she will be better of
without the islands. Looking to the
commercial and strategical value of the
Philippines, we should not be surprised
at resistance on the part of some OF the
powers. Moreover, it is evident that
the inhabitants will not calmly acqui-
esce in American annexation"
The Frankfurter Zeitung thinks that
after the elections, the American COM
missioners are likely to make some con-
cessions. since the chief question is
rather how to conquer the Philippine
islands from the inhabitants than how
to overcome SPANS resistance.

A French Editors view.

Paris. Nov. 4.-Soleil today, COM

No monarohial government would
have dared to conduct itself after the
fashion Of the Americans, who are for
ever talking 30 much OF right and lib
erty. The plan Of the Americans is
now evident. It is to take all Spain's
colonies and leave Spain the debts of
all those colonies This is the result of
the bold war undertaken to insure the
independence of the Cubans. What
base hypocricy do these liberals, these

British Naval Preparations.

LONDON, NOV. S.-Ther0 was an I'M
expectedly gloomy feeling this morning
on the stock exchange and the Paris
bourse. both markets being Influenced,
it is inferred, from the aggressive tone
Of some OF the French papers Besides
this something extraordinary seems to
have happened. and it looks as if
crisis was approaching.
The British naval preparations are
being pushed with great activity. The
British emergency squadron is gather
ing at Davenport, with all possible
speed, and seven battle-ships and one
cruiser SO far have been designated to
join the squadron. The officers and
sailors have been hurriedly recalled
from leave Of absence. several battle
ships and cruisers at Portsmouth are
taking full crews on board, and other
warlike preparations are being made.
A number Of signalmen. now on duty
with the British channel squadron,
which arrived at Gibraltar this morn
ing, have been ordered home for serv-
ice.
A sensation was caused by the arrest
Of supposed Russian spy at fort near
Harwich. The man was already under
surveillance, and went to the redoubt,
where he tried to obtain some informa-
ton from the sentry regarding the
Notifications. He was arrested, and
inquiries are being made regarding his
antecedents.
1t was also asserted today that officers
of the volunteers had received orders
to prepare for immediate mobilization.
and it was stated that the different
army corps had been informed as to the
ports on the southern and western
coasts to which they have been al
lotted.
Tire Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon
says: England has been and even
now is so near war that the govern
ment has carried its preparations to
the farthest limit Of the preparatory
stage. 1t has been arranged to call out
the reserves and militia and to mobilize
the volunteers simultaneously and to
form large camps at various important
railroad functions where rolling stock
and locomotives will be concentrated.
Activity at Esquimslt.
Victoria, B. c.. Nov. 2.-The depart.
ure of her majesty's ship Amphion
Sunday for the Society islands, the
French colony in the South seas, did
not end the activity at the Esquimalt
naval station. As soon as she
left the wharf at the dock yard,
the dock-yard crew was detailed to get
the drydock In readiness for the recep-
tion Of her majesty's ship Leander.
She, too, is to 60 on long voyage, or
at least be in readiness for any duty
that she may be called upon to perform.
The most significant feature outside
the departure of the Amphion, how
ever, is the activity on her majesty's
ship Imperieuse. Admiral Palliser's
flagship. Sunday large number Of
men were given shore leave, very
unusual thing on Sundays, and this
morning she commenced coaling. It is
understood that she goes out under
sealed orders on Thursday, but 1t is net
likely that she will follow the Amphion,
as that would leave Esquimalt with
small feet, the Leander, Icarus, two
torpedo-boa destroyers and two torpedo
boats.

the income Of the regular investments
was liable to fluctation, and feeling the
necessity for making mandatory provi-
sion for the protection Of the public
schools from unwise and niggardly leg
islation, it was deemed expedient to
compel the General Assembly TO keep
the public school system of the state
at its present standard, and to leave
the door open so that there would be
no constitutional impediment to its
betterment If the states finances justi-
fed In other words, the schools are
now sure Of a certain amount of money
for their maintenance, where heretofore
they were affected adversely by every
saloon that was closed, and benefited
by every increase in the number Of
licenses issued.
With the laws now in force yielding
the revenue Of 100000, and little
over that amount, It strikes us that the
General Assembly is not confronted
with such a difficult piece of legisla-
tion. If It let's the present laws alone
the fund will be all right, unless local
option laws are passed for some Of the
populous districts.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION

REDUCING LETTER DELIVERIES.
The business men of our large cities
are just now getting an unusually clear
view OF the way this country is gov
erned. IL was recently announced that
the carrier service in these cities must
be cut down so that it will be crippled,
in order to save 100000 year by re-
ducing the postal facilities in those
centres Of population where the service
Is most profitable to the Treasury.
Some influential Bostonians interested
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, in the
matter. and he introduced a resolution
yesterday providing that an inquiry
should be made which would show how
much money Is necessary, declaring
that lit was absolutely intolerable that
this great brunch Of the public service
should stop or be crippled" The chair
man OF the Post Office Committee
promptly objected TO the reference OF
the question to that committee, as II
was utterly powerless to afford relief
although il was anxious to extend and
make more efficient the carrier sys-
TEN. He thought that the resolution
should go to the Appropriations Com
mittee but it's chairman insisted that
the trouble was not with that commit
tee, but with the general
who had sent Congress estimates toe
low to cover the expenses Of his de-
partment.
The most forcible contribution to the
discussion was the statement Of Mr.
Wolcott, chairman of the Post Office
Committee that The whole trouble
might have been avoided IL Congress
had only instituted reform i'm the pos
tai service which would stop the great
deficiency that now exists. 1T is wei
understood" he said, that the second
class mail OF this country absorbs 6'
per cent Of the expenses OF the Pos
Office Department, and supplies only
about 3 per cent. OF the revenues. This
is the serious point of this discussion
and if Congress should enact into law
( the measure relating to sacond-class
matter which will be laid before 1t, The
recurrence Of the present difficulty viii
| be obviated." Quite aside from thi.
| question, the course OF the postmaster
general in regard to the carrier ser
vice seems inexplicable. The chairma
OF the Appropriations Committee sai'
that no suggestion had been made Il
that committee that the postmaster
general has not at his disposal suffi
cient funds to meet the needs OF hi
department, and yet this official sud
denly gives notice that he has not bee
granted money enough and must cu
down the service. Whet makes tn
