At Boston, is it reported, there are
one thousand freight cars standing on
side tracks. Thirty freight ships have
been taken out of their regular service
at that port owing to the war with
Africa, and consequently the cars have
to be used for storage purposes. Many
of these cars are the property of west
ern lines, and are badly needed for
transportation of lumber and grain.

A gentleman who is in q position to
know what is going on in the federal
department at Washington, states the
Pendleton East Oregonian, says in his
opinion, there will be no final action
with reference to the squatters on the
reservation within year from the
present. This he bases upon the prob
abilities Of the question being taken up
in the department and the time usually
consumed in getting such matters to q
final issue, after they have been once
taken up.

CANADIANS DISPLAY
LACK OF SPORTSMANSHlP

DORVALE. Quebec, Aug. "a series Of
five races for the Seawanhka cup between
the American challenger Constance and
the Canadian defender Glencairn III
terminated this evening in a fiasco. Each
of the little craft had won two races and
the boats were called to-day for the de-
cisive brush, but Skipper Duggan sailed

and was awarded the cup despite the pro-
tests of Mr.. Craig, the American.
The Glencairn III crossed the starting
line at 3:05:15 but thesConstance did not
cross, her centerboard' having struck the
ground while her skipper was maneuver-
Ing for the start. Then followed Mr..
Craig's verbal protest but the officials
decided to continue the race and consider
the protest afterward.
BY this time the Glencairn III was well
up the first leg, and small yacht was sent
up to instruct her to complete the course.
The Glencairn III accordingly proceeded
snd with the moderate wind which was
blowing finished the twelve miles at
6:25:15, we'll within the five-hour time
limit.
Mr. Craig's verbal protest was followed
by a written protest by Mr.. Post. part
owner of the Constance, to the effect chat
the course was not proper one for the
boats to sail on. The sailing committee
after being in session from $50 o'clock
until 11:20 tonight decided that the race

Special Dispatch to The Gail.

PORT TOWNSEND, Aug. 3.-Ad-
vices received here to-day from Wash
ington say that the British Embassy
has made a demand on the Secretary of
State for the release of the six Cana
dian fishing vessels recently seized near
Blaine by Lieutenant Dunwoody, in
command of the United States revenue
cutter Launch. The vessels were seized
for violation of the law against fish
ing in American waters. The inVeSu-
CATION is now being made and when
completed the findings will be for
warded to United States Attorney Gen
eraI Griggs in accordance with the in
structions of Secretary of State Hay.
A letter received here, dated from st.
George Island, one of the PrIb1loH
group, says that during the past year
large quantities of wreckage have come
ashore on the island and that the beach
has been completely strewn with 1t.
The wreckage has the appearance OF
that of a small craft and in quantity
was sufficient for the construction of at
least two large sailing vessels Some
of the wreckage bore the appearance
of having been in the water some time.
but most of it was new. Nothing was
found by which any of the unfortunate
craft could be identified.
The letter says that in April, 1898, the
schooner Adams with twenty passen-
gers on board called at the island and
asked permission to land, which was
granted After securing fresh water
they sailed. Since that time no word
has been heard of those on board.
The schooner Lady George, captain
Christopher. which sailed from Puget
Sound in March, 1898, with ten persons
aboard for Kotzebue Sound, is also re-
ported missing, no word having been
received from her for over a year. She
was at the Kowak River then.

CORPORAL w F. DOUGHERTY,
Company 1.-The country is thickly pop
ulated. The land seems to be all taken
up. 1t is either owned by the Filipinos or
big syndicates. Very little of the country
seems unoccupied. Corn and rice are the
only cereals that grow we'll there. Other
products are likely to be ruined by the
wet weather and dry season. The Ameri-
cans could not work in the field as they
do in this country, as the heat is TOO
great. The Chinese seem to do the most
work 1t would be a fine thing and help
to this country if our laws were intro
duced there. especially the labor laws
The climate is not suited to white man.
The Ftlipinos have been fighting all their
lives and will never make good citizens.
In my opinion, they should never be al
lowed the same privileges. 1t will take
a long time for the natives to become
educated up TO our form Of government.
When they do they will make good citi-
zens.
PRIVATE LEMISON, Company L
There does not seem to be a scarcity of
population in the Philippines. 1t is rather
difficult to say whether it would be pos
sible for an American to gain possession
Of land. 1t all seems to be occupied and
is held by the church. The soil is just
right for the raising of corn, rice and to-
bacco. AS to wheat and rye, am unable
to say whether they could be raised with
out loss The intense heat and the wet
weather would seem to be against the
latter products. 1 do not think the Fill
pinos should be made citizens OF the
United States.
PRIVATE ]. E. DOYLE, Company D.
The islands are thickly populated. L sup
pose man could buy land If he had the
money do not think much wheat could
be raised there, as 1t is too wet. Corn
rye and barley could be raised without
trouble Cattle and hogs would thrive,
but there is danger of the hogs taking the
disease that is prevalent in the Islands.
The climate is such that 1t takes
the energy out of a man. After an Amer
lean is there few months he does not
want to do anything. The Chinese and
natives do most of the hard labor The
islands would be profitable if our labor
laws were introduced there. l do not
think the climate is suited to our race.
The heat makes them indolent. They lose
their energy and ambition. L don't think
the natives should be made citizens. In
course of time they might have to be,
but that is too far off to worry over
SERGEANT HALL Company K-From
my observations, the islands seemed to
have plenty of population. There is very
little chance of getting land there, as it
is either settled or the Catholics have it in
control Almost any product save wheat
could be raised on the islands. Cattle and
hogs would certainly do well. The Fill
pinos seem to do most of the labor and
are better acclimated. 1t would be the
best thing for the islands If American
laws and ideas were introduced. The
climate is too warm and is q drawback
to many who might want to settle there.

agriculture might be introduced there, but
that is a question l could not answer posi-
