Oregon Wanted.

iOO' L uO lOllON-
ing dispatch has been received at the
navy department from Admiral
Dewey: "FOr political reasons the
Oregon should be sent here at once.
Yorktown arrived. Charleston and
Petrol cruising around Philippines.
Affairs more quiet"
The cablegram from Admiral
Dewey asking for the Oregon was
received with surprise by the officials
here. No one knew, or at least would
admit. that lie knew, the nature OF
the political reasons which the ad-
mlral says demand the immediate
presence of the peerless battleship.
The cabIegram was taken to the cabi-
uet board and fully discussed there.
The administration, it is said, possibly
feels that the moral effect of the
presence OF the big ship upon the in-
surgeuts themselves, aud particularly
upOn that large element among the
FiiipinOs that is believed TO be re-
strained with difficulty from joining
fortunes with AguinaldO, with whom
their sympathies lie, would be good.
But there is an underlying doubt
whether or not the admiral may not
be keenly sighting gathering cloud

or interference by European powers
Il tile struggle now 10 progress in the
neighbOrhUOd Uf Manila. 1t Is believ-
"a that in the big fires much property
of foreign residents and business con-
Germs was damaged. That these fires
we're caused by the insurgents can
not be denied, and 1t may be that
some of the foreign naval commanders
q The east are disposed to seize upon
the pretext that their interests de-
mand protection which We can not
afford them, to make a landing or do
something obnoxious to the United
States and likely to encourage the in.
>urgents. With such a strong naval
force as would be afforded by the re.
enforcement OF Dewey's feet by the
Oregon, there could not be any sound
reason, nor even plausible excuse, for
any such action on the part OF third
parties.
1t is said here that up to this mo-
ment there has been no intimation OF
4 purpose on the part OF any foreign
government to file any claims for
pecuniary remuneration for the prop.
erty Of their citizens, destroyed in the
fres and lighting at either Manila OF

be made Of any such claims is not 10
dicated here, though there Is ground
for the belief that If it can be shown
that our military and naval officers
practiced the precautions required by
international law in the matter oil
giving notice to foreigners OF any
action in the way Of bOmbardmenl
that might injure their property, and
otherwise did everything that coulC

Other Business Transacted,

The county commissioners Fri.
day finally agreed upon plaus and
specifications for the new county Jail,

the construction of the jail will be let
at that time, and the work pushed to

That a mid-winter fair would prove
an unbOunded success each year in
Wellington as profitable and pleas
urable means of mid-winter enter.
tainment, is evideEced by the success
which attended the opening of the
fair at the wigwam on North WASH
lngton avenue last week. 1t is the
tlrst entertainment OF Its kind ever
gwen in Wellington by the band, and
its management deserves unstinted
praise for the successful mlnner in
which the fair was launched.
The first impression one has upon
entering the wigwam is OF agreeable
surprises at the manner 10 which the
building has been transformed into a
palace OF beauty, and a feeling OF
pride towards the band and the busi-
ness men whose goods are so artistic
ally displayed before the eyes OF a
pleased and appreciative public. Be-
sides the displays Of merchants, there
are other pleasing features OF the fair.
The voting contests for the ladies'
watch and the child's hood, moving
pictures, electric lady, fancy work
sales, and the concert deserve mention.
The entertainment began last
Thursday night, with a concert by
the band. The band played upon a
stage in the west end OF the wigwam.
There were seats for the accommoda-
tion OF the public. After the concert,
members OF the band solicited the aud.
ience for sales Of fancy work, miscel-
laDeous articles, etc. The fish pond,
electric lady and taffy stand were well
patroDlzed, as was the voting contest
for the ladies watch. One OF the
very best features Of the fair was the
aloying pictures showing Uncle Sans
big battleshlps in action. Tonight
tie sinking OF Ceryera's feet at Santi.
ago will be shown.
The second day Of the Mid.winter
fair was successful financially and
otherwise. The attendance Friday
night was large and deep interest
was taken 10 the displays and other
features OF the fair. The voting for
tue ladies' watch was quite lively for
awhile that night, Miss Josie Welin
jumping from near the bottom to the
top Of the list. The moving pictures
were highly pleasing TO everybody.

There was much interest and some
excitement displayed in the voting
contest for the ladies' gold watch Sat.
urday night. When the votingopened
Miss Josie Welin was in the lead
with lO5 votes, aud Miss Ethel Sho-
walter, the winner, was fourth in the
race. The evening before, someone
had started Miss Showalter in the
contest With three votes. The man
at the score board had an exasperating
way OF calling out to know if Miss
Showalter had any friends in the aud.
lence, and a crowd of roOters kept
yelling "Lynch!' Lynch Mr..
Lynch was uuprepared for lively
time with the voters that evening,
but he ran Mss Showalter's name up
TO fourth place. The taunts of the
crowd that night put Lynch on his
mett!e and Saturday night he came
to the fair with roll of money as big
as a yule 10y. Harve Coverdale, Geo.
I. Pitts, f. A. Amsden and several
Others pooled their votes and attempt
ed to secure the watch for Miss May
Myers, but Lynch was game and
stayed with the crowd until they
were plenty willing to quit. When
the voting ceased Miss Showalter had
675 votes, while her nearest ccmpeti-
tor had only SIS.

suited in victory for Dorothy Owens,

Because an insufficient numb of

drawings for them until the evening

Morrow Don't Need Beer.

ThessEvening Argus up in Montpelier
put its foot in it J. badly recently. Rev.
George W. Morrow, the president of the
Anti-Saloon league, who is advertised to
speak here tomorrow evening, was in Mont
pelier and stopped at the Pavilion. The
Argus came out the next day with rich
story which, created sensation indeed. 1t
was stated that Mr.. Morrow was acting the
part OF spotter and had asked the clerk
tor beer at the desk Of the Pavilion hotel
The Argus in its edition of Wednesday
evening said /: "The reporter who wrote
the item says that the information was given
to him by W. A. Noyes, the clerk at the
hotel. 1t now developes that the clerk de-
MES absolutely telling the reporter any
story of the kind. No one was present to
hear the conversation but the clerk and the
reporter, and it is simply question OF We
racity between the two. The Evening Ar
gus now believes that the story was not
only untrue but without foundation. The
Evening Argus had no desire to belittle
Mr.. Morrow in any way, and the article
would not have been printed but that it
was believed to be true, and secured on
reliable authority"
