Sweet Oregon SO fair
For thy beauty we will e'er remember thee
Well recross the rolling billows
To our Oregon so dear
And our loved ones in that homeland of the free.
We have seen our flag unfurling
From the shore to distant shore
We have seen our glorious colors borne afar.
We have seen the famous Dewey
And his proud ship Baltimore
And his squadron that fought the Spanish war.

REFORMATORY SHIP BURNED,
The Catholic Ref0rmatory Shin Clnr- ence Burned in the Mer-
 sey at Liverpool.

Liverpool, July. 27.-The Roman Catholic reformatory ship Clarence was destroyed by fire. It was but a few moments after the fire was dis covered until the great tbree-decker vas wrapped in flames. Intense excite ment prevailed until it became known tt.at the hundreds of lads and officers on board the Clarence had been saved by the ferry boats Mersey and Firefly. which quickly made fast to the burn. ing vessel and began pumping water on the flames. The boys on board the Clarence worked with the utmost dis cipllne until they were forced to leave tie ship with the officers. The cap tain's family and Bishop Whitesidc, who spent the night on board the Clarence, lost their personal effects. The crew of the Mersey had a narrow escape, having barely time to regain their own craft, which had the utmos. difficulty in getting clear Of the burn ing vessel when the bulwarks of the Mersey were beginning to take fire. Three hours after the fire was discoy- cred the Clarence's back broke. and she settled slowly. This was the sec ohd Catholic reformatory ship of the same name that has been burned on the Mersey river. Her predecessor was fired by boys on board.

ABDUCTED BY MASKED MEN
Engineer Doyle of the Garfield. Grouse Mine at Cripple Creek,
 Col, Seized and Carried on

Cripple Creek, Col, July 27.-John Doyle, engineer of the Garfield Grouse mine, has been carried off by 20 masked men. The sheriff has been notified and is making efforts to find the missing engineer.
 When the 20 masked men reached the mine they ordered the blacksmiths ard other employees of the mine back.
 We don't want you" said one of the leaders. Its Doyle we are after. We'll fix him." The men employed at the Garfield-Grouse are unable to coniect- ure what was the cause of the trouble.
 1be Garfeld-Grouse mine is worked under lease by F. o. Wood, and all the miners employed there are union men.
 Later-Doyle was released by his al,- ductors after they had given him se- we're beating. He professes not to know who the men were or why they punished him.

San Francisco, July 27.-Chinatown has had another murder. The sup posed wife of Lem Sang, Chinese laundryman, was brutally murdered in a room occupied by the pair in Stock ton street. The mutilated body was found by the police when they broke in the door, hacked almost to pieces, lying in pool of blood and presenting most ghastly sight. Who killed the woman can only be conjectured from circumstances surrounding the mys- terious murder, and suspicion points strongly toward Lem Sang, who has not yet been found.

WHAT IS A|L|NG FRANCE?
Unexpected Opposition Developing Toward the Reciprocity Treaty
 With the United States.
FRANCE REALLY DROVE 4 HARD BARGAIN.
the Rest, If She Cennot Have Everything Her own Way She Doesn't Want to Play-InnuentiaI Opposition.

Washington, July 27.-A good deal of surprise has been caused in official circles here by the unexpected opposi- fcation of the reciprocity treaty just negotiated by MT. Kasson and NJ. Cam bon. It is not deemed expeient now to make public the details of the conven- ton, but it can be stated authorita- lively that in the opinion of our own officials the French have driven a hard bargain in making the treaty. They have. it is said, secured more advan- tages than they had any just reason to expect at the beginning of the ne- gotiations, and that success was ul- timately obtained is owing to the fact that the negotiators felt bound to ob- serve the behest of the president and make a treaty that the French people and make a treaty it all hazards.
 It is suspected here that the French people are not aware of the actual value of the concessions they have ob- tained, and there is reason to believe that when the champagne makers learn the amount of benefit they are to receive the opposition to the con- summation of the treaty will be at 2 once transferred from France to the United States.
 Misleading Statement.
 The statement made by M. Delcasse, French minister for foreign affairs, that the treaty contained the favored ,lx s.. T | II to the public, for what it does contain in that direction is a special provision in the case of certain lines of articles of import, that if the rate of duty is reduced below the figures stated to any other nation, then France shall have the same rate. But, this provi- sion is not general. and applies, as stated, only to certain specified arti- cles. It is believed that under this head, however, the French champagne makers will profit, for. while the treaty itself does not give them tI,e rate desired, yet they probably may profit by the low rate just given to the Portuguese makers of sparkling wine.
 Influential Opposition.
 It is appreciated here that the oppo- sition in Paris comes from very in- fiuential quarters. The Republiuue Franchise, which makes bitter attack on the treaty, is directed by M. Moline, former premier, and one of the most capable leaders in French politics. In particular he represents the peasantly and the gentleman farmer class, and his leadedrship of an opposition indi- cates that the treaty will have a difii- cult course before it.

CHICAGo'S FILTH CONDUIT.
Five Thousand People Attended the Mass Convention to Consider the
 Subject at White Hall, III.

White Hall, H., July 27.-About o,, 900 people gathered here from all DOT, tions of the Illinois river valley in at. tendance upon the mass convention ta consider the attitude to be assumed in relation to the opening of the Chicago drainage canal. and the removal of the government dams at Kampsville and LaGrange. St. Louis. and Chicago and the intermediate towns were repre- sented.
 Congressman W. E. Williams. of Pittsfield; ex-Congressman Henrich' sen, Judge Lacey, E. ]. Ward, U. C. Withers and others technically in. formed upon the subjects of delibera- ton made speeches.
 Trustee Alexander J. Jones, who was to represent the sanitary district os Chicago, was unable to be present, but submitted a letter containing a proposition, upon which ne believes unity of action between all interests affected may be attained. He said: 'In my opinion, concerted move should be made by the people of the Illinois valley, the sanitary district, end the city of Chicago for the removal of all government dams, simultaneous with the work of the permanent i'm provement of the Illinois river. Maj. Marshall, of the United States engi- neering department, has already, un- officially, stated that he shall recom' mend the removal of the crests of the government dams, in order to accom- Inodate the increased flow, which will bc occasioned by the drainage canal Now, in my opinion, we should bring all our interests from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi and, if possible. to New Orleans. into one concerted de- nand upon congress, for appropria' ticns requisite to carry out the deef waterway project, which had it's incep- ticn in the drainage canal legislation.
