The Congressional Issue.

The NeUS and Citizen says it has
been asked why it does not say some
thing about "the forthcoming congre S.
sional contest in the first district, and
makes this reply:
First, neither Judge Powers nor Cover
nor Page has informed us that he will be q
candidate for congressional honors, and, so
far as we personally know, neither has in
in the field next year.
Second, up to this time we think action
on the part Of any aspirsnt has been prems-
ture and in positive disregard Of the public
sense Of propriety.
But we observe indications that the pub
lie are awakening to the fact that vigor-
Gus campaign is in prospect, and while,
owing to our local surroundings, we do not
at present care to take any sides in this con-
test, we are conscious of the fact that as a
newspaper we cannot ignore what is going
on around us. Later on we may have
something to say editorially.
The State as a whole is interested in

district Next to the senatorship in
lively public interest is the election of
a Representative n the first district, in
view of the generally understood cir
cumstance that ex Governor Page will
be candidate for the Office now held
by Judge Powers. That is always
political contest of rare interest to
which Carroll S. Page is party. Such
a fight cannot be dull one; it must be
sharp, aggressive, with an element of
the picturesque. In politics or bust
ness there is nothing commonplace or
conventional in Governor Pages meth
ods-and no son of gun from Massa-
chusetts or any other State could mop
the floor of the House of Representa-
tives with Page.

The Oregon Volunteers.

SAN FRANCISCO, July II. - The
United States transports Newport and
Ohio, bearing the Oregon volunteers
from Manila arrived here tonight. The
vessels were sighted early in the after
noon and soon the shrieking of steam
whistles, the changing of bells and the
firing of cannons announced that the
first batch of returning volunteers from
Manila were nearing the shores of Cali
fornia. Within few minutes the
streets were thronged with people
vending their way to the docks and to
the heights overlooking the bay, intent
upon catching glimpse of the trans
ports as they steamed up the harbor
under the escort of score of vessels
which had been made ready for the ar
rival of the steamers. The roofs of
the warehouses were crowded with PEG,
pie and from scores of flag poles
streamed the stars and stripes. Steam
ers, tugs, yachts and even small row.
boats were soon making their way as
fast as possible toward the Golden
Gate.
AS the transports slowly steamed up
the harbor the soldiers gathered in ex-
cited groups on decks. Some climbed
into the rigging, when they shouted
and cheered like mad The band on
the Sea Queen played patriotic airs and
the screaming of many steam sirens
created pandemonium. The health
officials boarded the vessels which
changed their course toward the quar-
antine stations where the doctors will
make thorough examination of the
men. 1t is yet undecided whether the
Oregon volunteers will be allowed to
land in San Francisco before returning
to their Oregon homes.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Secretary
Alger received today telegram from
San Francisco containing the unani-
nous request of the Oregon regiment
for muster out at San Francisco. The
Oregon regiment previously elected to
be mustered out at Portland but evil
IDENTIFY came to the other decision while
en- route. The request was granted.

Captain Dyer Spurns Anti-Imperial-
ism.

Erving Winslow is secretary of the
Boston Anti-Imperialist League. He
was not pleased with the true things
Captain Dyer of the Baltimore said
about the "goody-goodies'' of Boston,
and their share in the responsibility for
the war the Filipinos began and are
waging against the United States.
So Erving wrote an "open letter" to
Captain Dyer, referring to the officers
of the army and navy as servants pri-
marily needed by republic as police
force. Captain Dyer, being told who
Erving was, had "nothing to say to a
fellow of his stripe" He was las low,
in his estimation, as though he were to
deliberately take up arms against his
country" "The American soldiers are
enduring enough perlls and hardships
in the Philippines without being de-
cried and denounced by few Boston
cranks who have taken it into their
heads that the administration is carry.
ing on the campaign for the fun of the
thing"
This is part of the answer of an
other of Dewey's lieutensnts to current
anti-imperialist rigmarole. These same
"cranks," and their allies of all com.
plexions, who are juggling with the
name of the chief of the men who
fought the battle of Manila bay and
held the Philippines against the world
and the insurgents, who are hypocriti-
cally moaning that Admiral Dewey
was superseded by General Otis, that if
Dewey had been left by the admins
tration in supreme command he would
have managed Aguinaldo, and if the
administration had followed Dewey's
advice there would have been no war,
may sometime get blow as straight
from the Admiral's shoulder as this
that comes from one of his captains
as that which came from ex-Minister
Barrett the other day.

1t is unfortunate for Secretary Alger
that the country does not take 80 favor
able view of his administration of the
war department as does the Secretary
himself. A difference of this kind
sometimes arises in public life and is
not entirely unknown in private affairs.
From Maine to California there is grief
over the dispelling of the prospect of
Alger's resignation, voluntary or forced.
But it was striking some people as Pc
culiar that cause, such as his alliance
with Pingree, ample by itself alone,
was deemed sufficient for his practical
expulsion from the cabinet, while his
culpable deficiencies of administration
in the war with Spain were overlooked.

IN THE FAR EAST.

MANILA, July 12.-The insurgents
continue active about San Fernando,
and among General MacArthur's troops,
firing from their trenches. Lieutenant
Reeves OF the Seventeenth infantry had
an exciting encounter last night with
an insurgent Bolomen party who crept
through the American lines and at
tackled Lieutenant Reeves unawares
and alone. Although wounded Reeves
drew his revolver, and gamely defended
himself, shooting several asssilants,
who quickly withdrew to the jungle.
G. neral John G. Bates left to-day for
Jalo to negotiate with the Sultan of
the Sulu Islands concerning the basis
of relations with the United States.
General Otis in structed General Bates
to promise the Sultan that the United
States will fulfil all Spanish obliga-
tions, including payment of his salary
and those of his chiefs. General Bates
took $4,000 for the Sulus as evidence
of the good intentions of the United
States.
MANILA, July 13.-The Fourth cav
airy has been having more brushes
with the insurgents along the shore OF
Laguna de Bay, aided by the gunboat
Napidan. On Tuesday another attack
was made on the insurgents at Mum
tilupa on the west shore where squad
ron of the Fourth cavalry landed re-
Gently. The rebels had returned and
entrenched themselves. The Napidan
shelled the trenches and one hundred
of the cavalry, three troops of whom
were doing patrol duty on the lake with
the Napidan, were landed and chased
the insurgents inland. The latter made
a sharp resistance when they reached
the hills and the small force of cavalry
men retired. The Americans had two
wounded. The enemy's loss is heavy.
Ten bodies were left behind.
Sharp fighting between the insur-
gents and the cavalry under Lieutenant
Babcock is also reported about Bali
nag. A large force of insurgents are
very active near San Ildefonsa.

Depew At Home,

NEW YORK, July 12.-Cauncey M.
Depew was given dinner this even
by the Republican Club in honor of
his return from Europe. In an after
dinner speech Mr.. Depew advised
President Mckinley to send 100000,
100000 or even 100000 men to the
islands to drive the rebellious natives
into the sea or make them submit to
our terms.
In discussing the Philippine ques-
ton Mr.. Depew further said: "In
Europe found that there was no
sympathy for Spain on account of her
defeat in the late war. / found moth

States. The people of Europe are
wondering whether we will be equal to

the suggestion, that the people of the
United States would rather send 100,-
