st. James Gazette Believes Powers Are
Forming a Combination.
London, May 1.-THE st. James Ca
zette says: Important signs Of the
uneasiness of Europe, of it's fear Of
anarchy at home and aggression
abroad, are reflected in London financial
circles. Russia is raising a loan of
$4,000, 000 and, more significant still,
she is raising it in Germany. The Bank
Of England is directing its energies to
fashion without precedent, while Japan
not content with the vast sum she re-
ceived from China on Saturday, is pre-
pairing for a fresh loan of 5000, GEO.
The rapproachment between Germany
and Russia and Russia and Austria Is
very marked"
All this, the st. James Gazette be-
American and Great Britain, as eve are
universally regarded as forming part
of this trans Atlantic aggression on
Europe" and the article warns Great
Britain to prepare for a struggle which
may involve the most important events
since the fall Of Napoleon"
In conclusion, The st. James Gazette
remarks: Europe believes America is
trying her strength on Spain and that
her inevitable victory will be followed
by similar acts Of aggression toward
other powers with interests in the At
lantic and in the Pacific"

Divorce for Mrs. Won der Abe.

st. Louis, May 12.-Judge Tally has
handed down a decree in the Won der
Abe divorce case, which was heard be-
fore him last Friday. He gives Mrs.
Won der Abe $1,000 alimony and her
maiden name, and incidentally pays her
a high compliment on her conduct and
appearance in court. Before her mar

Whereabouts of the North Atlantic
Squadron at Last Made
Known.

Washington, May IA dispatch was
received at the White House by way
Of Hayti that the American men-of-
war have been bombarding San Juan
all morning. The news created the
greatest excitement when 1t was cir
culated here. The whereabouts of Ad-
miral Sampson had been at last located
and the fact that he had commenced
the battle for the occupation of Porto
Rico showed what his orders were be-
fore he left Key West.
Opinion in naval circles is that Samp-
son will have no difficulty in quickly
reducing the Notifications Of the Porto
Rican capital and that he will soon be
In possession Of the city. The effect
of the news is to hasten the sending of
troops to his assistance and orders for
hurrying the soldiers from Tampa will
probably be issued at once.

LIEUT.. usHEe's ILL LUCK.


Lieut.. Usher, who has command OF

believer in the ability Of torpedo
boats, but it seems that he is destined
TO meyer have a chance to prove It.
lie wanted to sneak into the harbor
at Santiago and destroy Cervera' IS
feet before 1t made the attempt TO
escape, but Sampson would not per-
NIT; and then again, in the chase
after Ceryera, Usher was doomed to
be disappointed, for just as he was
about TO discharge torpedo at the
Vizcaya she hauled down her colors
Being several miles astern when the
chase began, the little Ericsson came
up like whirlwind, and prepared TO
attack the Vizcaya. over went the
helm sof the Ericsson, and around
swung the torpedo tubes until they
were trained on the Spanish vessel.
"Wait for The next roll Of the Vlzcaya
to plant torpedo under the armor
belt," yelled Usher, and then, when
the big cruiser began to roll over and
leave her hull exposed, came the COM
mand: "Stand by, ready to fire at
the word" Usher saw his chance at
last, and was about TO give the word
when sharp cry came from the look
out: "Hold on, sir. Her colors are
down." Then the Ericsson went to
work on another mission and began
saying the crew Of the rapidly sinking
Vizcaya. If the Vlzcaya had been q
moment slower In getting down her
colors, or II the lookout had not seen
them down, 1t IS possible that we
would have had TO chronicle the sue
cess of at least one torpedo boat at
tack Ia this war.

HOME INDUSTRY.


The home market is, or ought to be-,
the profitable market. If the people
OF Marion county would llYe on the
food products of Marion county farms,
there would be an immense saving In
the matter Of transportation alone,
which II divided between the producer
and consumer, would result In profit
for the former aud saving for the
latter. or course, we must export
wheat and cattle and hops and prunes,
and there are many things in The way
OF table dellcacles, which we must ship
from distance, But when we ship
lard all the way from Omaha, Kansas
City and Chicago there is something
radically wrong; we are giving to the
people Of those places, and to the rail-
roads, clear profit which ought to go
into our own pockets. The same is
true when we buy corn meal that has
been shipped a thousand miles.
Marion county is capable of producing
all the hog products and corn that are
consumeds here, On the other hand,
when the farmer passes by goods that
are manufactured here, and buys
something no better that has been
brought from another country and
state, he Is bidding long farewell to
money which, IL Invested In our own
products, would soon find It's way back
into his pocket again. Oregon is a
wool producing state, aud has numer-
Gus woolen mills which weave as good
cloth as any under the sun, yet these

haYe been through the principal hor
districts OF the state the past few
weeks, and my observation leads me
30 the conclusion that this years
crop will not fall much short Of that
OF last year. The average hop yield
OF Oregon the past few years has been
about $4,000 bales, This years crop
III my opinion, will certaluly reach
200 bales, A
"rhe appearance OF the hop vines
would indicate u considerable shorts

pearance that the predictions OF n
short crop are based. Growers them

the vines. The fact that the hop.
yards look thinner is proof that the
hops will be larger and perhaps Of
finer quality than usual,
"As 10 the probable price hops Will

were digging the grave of the party
for the November election of 1898 by
bounding the administration up to
the verge of war, because If war came
nothing could prevent the triumph
of the party under whose admins

The man proves too much. He
"proYes" that the democracy 'hound-

the most righteous war that ever was
waged, after they had been warned
and knew that their patriotism would
cost them dear, politically, In the
eyes of any one Of ordinary common
sense this ought to acquit them of the
charge OF trying to make political
capital at the expense of their coun-
try's honor. Wherever politics has
been forced into this war it has been
the action of administration Repub-
llcans.
However, as the Democrats have no
true charges against which to defend
themselves In this matter, perhaps
they can afford to smile at the Yenl-
nous mountings Of an insane old man,
and let his punishment come in the
form of "the deserved contempt of all

NOTES ABOUT CROPS
From All Parts of the States--HeaYy Hay

Crop General.
The farmers around jefferson report
that the green abhis Is doing but
little damage.
An immense amount Of lay Is be
ing hauled into Corvallis. The yield
is said to be great, and the quality
good. For loose hay, the prices range
from s. to 81, according to quality. A
large lot OF wheat and oat hay went
at $3.50. A lot OF wheat hay welt at
81. Several buyers have paid but So
for cheat, while Others have paid SO
for the same kind.
For the past week farmers at Tilla-
nook have been very busy with their
nay. Thousands Of tons have been
cut since the Fourth and is nearly all
cured and in the barns. The tedder
used for spreading hay and stirring it
up is being used great deal this year
and it is found to be great help in
curing the hay,
Mr., Mack, Of Grant county, says
there are a great many cattle MIGRANT
county yet. The prices generally are
as follows: Cows and calves, S25; dry
COWS, sl5; yearling streers, slS, and
2-year-old steers, s27,
He quotes prices OF sheep asfollows:
Yearling wethers and ewes, 2);stock
sheep, ewes and lambs taken together,
81 for ewes, aud 81 so for lambs. Two
and three.year.old mutton sheep sell
at about $2,65. He says no wool of
that section has been sold, although
prices of from 10 TO IA cents have been
offered. The sheepmen are all able to
wait for rise In prices, and expect as
high as 10 cents pound for most of
the wool they have. Their store
houses are principally at Heppner.
Sales OF sheep and wool ln Lake
county, between July and Septem-
Der /, will aggregate S25O,0OO. Cattle
sales In the fall will run the county's
receipts from stock this year to

believes that the wool that will be
handled through Pendleton this year
will amount to approximately 100000
pounds. Scarcely any has been sold
