A telegram was sent to Governor Gage
by the committee, inviting him to SEND a
representative to the reception in the
event of his being unable to be present,
and explaining that the hardness. of the
invitation was due to the fact that the
committee was unable to sooner obtain
definite information as to when the
troops would land. Invitations to be

sponded with cheers and settled them
selves down to pass the hours until they
again reached firm land. They found
plenty to interest them, particularly the
crowds of pretty girls that f1ocked to the
ships in launches. Along the wharves the
boys could see the crowds of people anx-
ious for their coming. All the morning
and afternoon launches came and went
and along into the night and the crowds
fingered on the wharves. When the City
of Para pulled out in the evening the re-
turned veterans cheered the outgoing reg
ulars and wished them luck.
The boys had notice that their boats
would be docked at $3.50 this morning. and
many of them turned in early to be up
and on the wharf at the first opportunity.
Governor GeeE sent telegram yesI.et
the Oregon National Guard, officially IN
forming him of the fact that the Oregon
troops would be mustered out in TINS CITY
and that the preparations now being mace
for their reception in Portland Would
have to be deferred. General Beebe re
piled that the decision of the troops was
a great disappointment to their relatives,

Adjutant General b. b. Tuttle stateo
that the men will receive their two

now being in the hands of the paymaster.
They will remain at the Presidfo for three
or four weeks until they are all paid off

of the people of Oregon at not receiving
the first chance to welcome their boys.
There was a rumor to the effect tnat
the warmth of their home reception would
be reduced on account of their desire to
be mustered out here, but this is strenu-
ously and indignantly denied by every
member of Governor Geer's staff. Gov
ernor Geer and his party will leave to-
morrow evening for home. They all ex-
press themselves as highly pleased with
the treatment tney have received during
their stay in this city. The royal recep-
ton accorded to the Oregon boys has
filled them with a deep sense of grateful
ness and they expect to return the favor
in some way when the California volun-
teers come back from the Philippines.

Deputy Battalion Chief Kirkpatrick
says he is convinced that the fire Is of
tncendiary origin. He arrives at this
conclusion owing to the fact that the
1iames broke out In two different parts
OF the island at about the same time,
beth places being difficult of access so
far as fire engines are concerned, and
from the fact that upon his arrival he

young officer who had won his daugh-
ter's love as an insolent intruder, who
was destroying the peace Of his house

two men, which were strongly opposed
to each other, also threatened danger.
Nevertheless. for the time, Mr.. Har-
rison, conquered by the tears and en-
treaties of his only child, yielded,
though with reluctance; Edward, who
had just returned from a long jour
ney, found himself confronted with a

was powerless. But he knew how to

Great Bells.

In the manufacture of great bells
Russia has always taken the lead.
The Giant" which was cast in Mos
COW in the sixteenth century, weighed
2SS 900 pounds, and it required TWEEN
ty-four men to ring it. 1t was broken
by falling from its support, but was
recast in 1854. On June 10, 1705, it
again fell, and in 1882 the fragments
were used, with new materials, in cast
ing the King of Bells" still to be
seen in Moscow. This bell is nine
teen feet three inches high, measures
inches, weighs about 443, 1872 pounds,
and it's estimated value in metal alone,
is at least $500, 900. ST. Ivan's bell,
also in Moscow, is forty feet nine
inches in circumference, sixteen and
a half inches thick, and weighs 127,-
$50 pounds. The bells of China rank
next to those of Russia in size. In
Pekin there are seven bells, each is
said to weigh 10000 pounds. The
weight of the leading great bells of the
world are as follows: Great Bell OF
Moscow" 443,732 pounds; st. Ivan's,

CHAPTER ".

At last, the outbreak of the war fur
nished the long-desired opportunity for
an open breach. Harrison imposed
conditions which he knew the young
officer would new accept and, on his
refusal, withdrew his promise. In this
way he had a semblance of justice on
his side, and Roland's refusal was de-
scribed under the most hateful cofors.
Florence was neither energetic nor in
dependent. She had been brave so
long as William stood at her side and
she was sure of his love and protec-
ton. Alone she was unable to contend
with her father and Edward, and now
and Edwards passionate entreaties,
for the latter was determined to secure
her hand at any cost. At last, sup
posing herself deserted by the man she
loved, she yielded to these creatures
and gave up her resistance.
The young girl was suddenly startled
from her reYerie by a broad, bright bar
Of sunshine. The blinds of the glass
doors leading out upon the terrace had
been opened, and a man appeared, in
a light summer suit, with a broad
brimmed straw hat pulled so low over
his brow that his features could
scarcely be distinguished. The visitor.
strange to say, came through the gar
