The Goth session Of the Oregon legis-

fort to economize in the matter of clerk
hire was made, but the rabble that
gathers at the capital to capture the

ful, and there will be no reform along
this line during the present session.

A TERRIBLE BATTLE

General to Surrender.
FOREIGN FLEETS BoMBARDED
The City of Puerto CabellO Was DOvRs,

Killed or wounded.

Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, Nov. IL.
General Parades, former comman-
der OF the army of ex.President An
drade, who had refused the demand
made upon him by General Castro and
the de facto authorities to surrender
the town, even when this was REIN
forced by the request of the British,
American, French, German and Dutch
commanders, surrendered this morning
at 10 O'Clock, after terrible battle.
The aspect of the city is one Of ruin

that upward OF ESQ persons were killed

The Cotton Crop.

Washington, Nov. l3.-The monthly
report of the statistician of the depart
ment OF agriculture will state that the
most thorough investigation of the cot.
ton situation that has been made since
1896 has just been completed. Spec
iaI agents from the Washington Office
have visited all the principal points in
the cotton belt, investigating both acre.
age and production. Pending the re-
ceipt of final reports as to picking, due
December l, no detailed statement will
be issued, but the statistician states
that on the basis of the highest estimate
of the area under cultivation for which
the department can find any warrant,
2S,500, 900 acres, the crop cannot ex-
ceed $500, 900 bales. This estimate is
based on the most complete and trust
worthy information.

rRANs-PAcIFlc CABLE.
Tho Route Crosses Deep Abysses and
High Mountains.

New York, Nov. 18.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Rear Admiral Bradford has COM
pleted the official naval project for a
trans- Pacific submarine cable between
San Francisco and Manila In time to
supply congress with all the essential
information at the opening of the next
session that will permit intelligent con.
sideration of the subject and prompt ac-
ton for the Inauguration Of the great
work.
All doubt has been removed regard
ing the practicability of the enterprise
by the adoption Of Honolulu, Midway
and Guam as relay stations ON the long
line, and by the discoveries made from
the naval-survey ship Nero as to the
character of the ocean bed between
those points. This sounding instru-
ments of this ship disclosed an abyss
in the Western Pacific over five miles
deep, but slight divergence from a
straight line fortunately developed a
route avoiding this insuperable obstacle
to laying working cable. At another
point, on the same stretch between
Midway and Guam, a submerged noun
tain over IL, 900 feet in height was dis
covered, and reasonably level road
around this was found.
The physical practicability OF the
line now having been assured beyond
doubt, it only remains for congress to
weigh the military necessities and COM
mercial advantages to accrue from the
construction and operation of the sys-
tenn. 1t was represented to congress
at its last session that the revenue to be
expected from the Pacific cable would
not attract private capital unless it
had connection with Australia, Japan
and China, as we'll as with San Fran
cisco, Honolulu and Manila.
For that reason it was deemed indis-
pensable that the United States should
own Stronge island, in the Caroline
group, or cable landing there to in
sure the working OF a loop to Australia.
The absence of this may deter any
corporation from undertaking the oper-
alton of cable across the Pacific with.
out heavy subsidy.

Estcourt, Natal, Thursday evening
An armored train, with a company of
the Royal Dublin fusiliers, started at
1880 this afternoon and reached the
break of the railway line about a half
mile from Colenso without accident.
Captain Hensley, with several men,
reconnoitered and met native, who
said the Beers were occupying the
town. While the conversation was in
progress the Beers opened fire from
Fort Wylie, but did no injury. Cap
tain Hensley thereupon retired to the
train, after which the fusiliers volleyed
on the fort. As there was no response,
the presumption was that the Beers had
retreated. The armored train returned
here safely at O'Clock. Captain
Hensley learned from the native that
the Beers were numerous ON the Lady
smith side of Colenso.
During the afternoon there was a
cessation of the bombardment of Lady
smith. A heilograph was working
from Fort Wylie.

CUBAN coVERNoRSHiP.
Roosevelt FavOrs General Wood for the
Important Position.

AhPOAN"hh OSAoChs
New York, Nov. ia special to
the Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley will tell congress
of his intentions to appoint civil COVER
nors of Cuba and Puerto Rico, and may
even wait for congressional action be-
fore announcing the appointments.
This statement is made ON the authority
of member Of the committee on for
eign relations who had just talked with
the president on the subject.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon the president for the imme-
diate appointment of these governors.
Governor Roosevelt Is particularly ur-
gent in his championship of General
Wood for the Cuban billet. He wants
the appointment made at once, believ-
ing that the time is ripe for civil gov
ernment and that General Wood is just
the man to effect the change with the
best results for all concerned.
The president is inclined to agree
with Governor Roosevelt on all points
except the immediate appointment.
With congress only few weeks off,
he is considering whether it would not
be advisable to allow that branch of
the government to have voice in the
matter. A comprehensive plan for the
government Of Puerto Rico is now be-
ing worked into shape by Secretary
Root, which will be presented in the
form of bill similar to the one now
pending for the government OF Hawaii.
