COCHRAN ADVISES
THE PRESIDENT
Would Have Him Act
as Mediator.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Ex- Congress
man w. Bourke Cochran has written
the following open letter to President
Mckinley about the Tranvaal:
You will, l am sure, excuse this in.
vasion of your holiday, when l explain
that its object is to invoke the exercise
OF power which providence seems
to have placed in your hands with
special reference to a danger now
threatening ths peace of the world
1t can hardly be questioned that prof.
fer OF friendly mediation by you would
suffice to delay, if not prevent, the
threatened invasion of the Transvaal.
''lf this government be justified in
exciting military force to restore or.
der at the other side OF the globe,
surely it should exert every moral
force to preserve order at half that
distance A recourse to arms, which
might result in kindling fearfllly
destructive confagration throughout
Christendom on such questions as those
at issue between Great Britain and the
Boer republic, would be an injury to
civilized society which all the forces
of civilization should combine to re-
sist.
1.-The assertion at the point of the
bayonet by one power of a right to
control or prescribe the conditions |
governing the electoral franchise in |
another country, admittedly ipdepend-
ent, would be an act of criminal ag-
gression, the enormity of which has
been described in clear, vigorous and
scathing terms by the present English
secretary. You cannot be in
different to the fact that when Mr..
denounced as indefesible
my suggestion of interference by the
British government in the purely do
nestle affairs of the Transvaal, the re-
ations between this country and En-.
,fand we're strained over the Venez-
lelan boundary, while now these re.
ations have become cordial. the same
tatesman feels en- boldened to trample
lpon his professions, If not to violate
lis principles.
"An Anglo. American alliance can
lardly be force in the maintenance
# justice and the spread of civilization,
8 its advocates contend. if England's
oreign policy be marked by respect
Or justice while the two countries are
and by wanton acts OF ag-
ression while their relations are COR
ial. 1t is not extravagant or unreas- }
nable to insist that any country seek
lg alliance with the United States
lust have some semblance of regard c
'r the moral law, at least during the r
eriod of courtship. :,
"If there be other and sounder
,asons than those assigned by the
ress for the attitude of the British :,
,vernment in South Africa, its posi- :,
on will be strengthened by the dis T
osure of them. A friendly but ur-
snt tender of your good offices would
ndoubtedly evoke full and complete
atement of the grounds on which the a
sace and integrity of the Transvaal Z
e threatened. Q

DECLINED WITH THANKS.
TogaI Refuse Autonomy Proffered by This
Government

Togal REFUSE Autonomy Prohered by This
Government
MANILA, Sept. 13.-The Associated
Press correspondent here has obtained
copy Of the reply made by the Filipi.
nos congress to the American offer of
autonomous government.
The author of the reply was Ambro-
sio RianZares, who was offered posi-
tion in the supreme court, but failed TO
appear. and was supposed to be detain-
ed by the insurrectionists.
The documents repeats the arguments
contained in recent appeal to the
powers for recognition of the Filipino
claims that the Americans we're the
aggressors in The war and concludes:
Notwithstanding the foregoing we
could have accepted your sovereign
ty and autonomy if we had not seen by
behavior of Americans in the beginning
that they were strongly opposed to US
through race prejudice. Your high
handed methods Of dealing with us
made us fear for our future in your
hands. Finally, we thanked you for

A Promising Mining Town

Mrs. ForwOod, who returned from a
visit to friends at Sumpter yesterday
states that on her arrival there, and
in fact durins the month she was in
that town, she was more than aston
ished at the way SumpJer is booming.
Any one who has moo been there has
no idea of how lively the town is and
of the amount of real e-tate that is
changing hands as we'll as the amount
of buildings that are being put up.
rhe tOwn is lacking in many wavs,
however. which leaves an abundance
of opportunities for profitable invest
ment.
There are three hotels in the town
which accommodate more than $50
people and they are forced to turn
many away for the lack of accommo-
dations. Another thing in which
Sumpter is lacking is a good smelter,
the want of which forces the miners
to ship their ores to San Francisco and
thus taking much of the profit out of
the business.
The mines are immense in and
around the town, and vary in value
The leading ones are the Red Boy,
Bonanza, North Pole and Columbia.
These range in value from one to three
millions dollars, while there are
dozens being opened up that may in
every respect rival those mentioned.

: The catch of fall salmon is hardly
up to what is hoped for, but it is ex-
pected that there will be better run
of fish before long. There is only on
wheel running at the cascades now,
and some fish are being taken at this
place, A ton and half were captured
in seine day or two ago, about 40
per cent of which were steelheads and
the remainder silversides. Seufert

Der, but Everding & Farrell have no
idea that they can purchase enought
to keep their cannery rnnning, and
look forward to bringing what they
get there down the river to be canned.
There are so many traps and other
DEVICES for catching the fish down the
river that any salmon to reach the
dalles needs to have pilots license
and TO stick to the middle of the
channel and run by daylight only. A
few speclmens.of the humpback salmon
were caught, all of which were thrown
out on the bank as worthless.
