Admiral Dewey Accepts.

New York. May 9.-Dewey cabled
Saturday that he would accept the
$100-a-plate banquet to be rendered
him on his return. This is only one
of a number of functions now being
planned and given great impetus by
the arrival of the cruiser Buffalo,
which made record-time home from
Manila in 441a days. All the officers
declare that Dewey is in the best of
health and spirits, and is satisfied with
being the head of the navy, wants no
presidential troubles, and IS planning
to come home as soon as peace is con,
cluded.

FRANCE PRESSES CHINA.
Demands Concessions for Missionary
Outrages.


Peking, May 9.-The French minis
ter, M. Pichon, has demanded mining
concessions to the value Of 1900. 900
taels in the province of Szechuan, one
of the largest in China, and traversed
by the Yang-tse- -Kiang, as indemnity
for the recent imprisonment of a
French missionary. The demand is
considered exorbitant. The Chinese
say that the existing conditions of re.
bellion are not due to any lack of en-
ergy on the part of the government,
which has frequently consulted the
French minister regarding the best
means OF obtaining the freedom of the
priests in question.
According to advices from Hankow,
capital of the province of Hoo Pee. the
Russians contemplate taking definite
action with reference to property now
owned by British subjects in the Rus
sian Jardine concession. The Russian
consul refuses to recognize the titles of
the claimants. The affair threatens to
interfere seriously with the Peking-
Hankow railroad project. and the dis
missal of the Russian official is con-
sidered to be the only remedy.

OREGON TROOPS IN BATTLE.
summers' Brigade Routed the Enemy
at Maasin.

at Maasin.
Washington, May 6.-The war do.
partment received the following dis.
patches today:
Manila, May 6.-Colonel Summers.
with SIX battalions, including the Sec.
ond Oregon. the Dakota regiment. the
Ihlrd Infantry, and piece of the Utah
light artillery, of Lawton's division.
proceeded north this morning to
Maasln, where they crossed the river
and. charged the enemy in strong en-
trenchments. driving them northward
and intiicting considerable loss. His
casualties were two wounded.
Both Wheaton and Hale, of MacAr-
thurs division, found the enemy in
force and strongly entrenched, and
commanded by Commander.in-C Chief
Luna, about four miles south of San
Fernando.
Hale. on the right, dislodged the
enemy. and Wheaton, on the left, lead.
ing in person, made brilliant charge,
scattering his forces, inflicting great
punishment. Several officers and en-.
listed men were seriously wounded.
Macarthur proceeds to San Fer
nando in the morning, delayed by the
partial destruction of the bridge across
the river. 1t is not believed that the
enemy will make another determined
stand until he efreGts his retreat to Ara
yat, short distance from San Isidro.
The situation is as follows: Lawton
holds Baliuag, taken May 2 after a
rapid movement from Angat, where he
left supplies with wagon train, pack
animals and rations. He scattered
the strongly entrenched enemy to the
north and northwestward, capturing
large amount of food supplies, and has
his detachments thrown out to the
north and eastward. His successful
movement is attended with great diff
Guilty because of the character of the
country and the rain and heat. He
now covers our railway communica-
tions, and will be supplied from Ma
lolos.
MacArthuI's column was concen-
trated and took up the advance on San
Fernando at $3.50 this morning. We
do not apprehend a sharp resistance on
the part of the enemy, who will proba-
bly, leave the railroad and retire in a
northwestely direction and to the
north Of Lawton. The destruction of
the railroad near Calumpit necessitates
dependence on wagon transportation.
The enemy to the south and east ol
Manila, 5000 strong, is opposed by q
sufficient force under Ovenshine and
Hall. His demonstration thus far
have been properly met by these Off
GERS, with slight losses. Many requests
have been received from outlying cities
for protection against insurgent troops.

NEWS OF NORTHWEST
A Budget of General News Gathered In
Several Pacific Coast
States.
Pacific North west Producers.

AT Pendleton, Or, there is on foot 6
plan for the formation of what will he
called the Pacific Northwest Producers
Association, which will before long
make itself a strong factor in the in
dustrial life of this section. Thus
far, the membership secured consists
only of farmers and grain producers.
but it is hoped that the wool men and
sheep-breeders will come in. The
members sign the following agreement:
"We, the undersigned producers Of
the county of - and state of -,
do hereby agree to unite ourselves in a
non-political body for the purpose Of
providing for ourselves protection
against the trusts that have been
formed, and which dictate to the pro-
ducers the prices of the commodities
which we produce; and to further pro-
vide ourselves with place to meet
and transact business and receive the
telegraphic market reports of the
world; and to place ourselves in direct
communication with the consumers of
the world; and to unite ourselves in
one grand body and to promote har-
mony and work for the general welfai 9
of the community at large, and for the
producer.
The association will in no manner
touch the mercantile portion of the
business of the community, but will
exist solely for the purpose of ena-
bling the producers of wheat, wool and
livestock to keep more closely in touch
with the markets of the world, and to
the more intelligently handle them. 1t
will be the particular tenet of the asso-
citation that there shall be no politics
in the conduct of the affairs. 1t is
less than 10 days since the effort began
to form the association, and already
there are on the lists of prospective
members 1853 farmers, wheat-growers,
and among them some of the most
prominent and soldest of the North

SPAIN IN A NEW ROLE.
About to Make Claim for Territory

Hong Kong. May 6.-Spain is col
lecting evidence here with a view OF
claiming cession of land in China as
indemnity from the Chinese govern
ment for permitting the steamer Abbey
to leave Canton last August, with
arms for the Philippines.
The little steamer Abbey was seized
by the armed dispatch boat of Admiral
Dewey's squadron September 23 last.
She was of American register, though
formerly known as the Pasig. 1t was
reported to Admiral Dewey that she
was carrying arms and supplies of war
to the Filipinos. and he sent the Nc
Culloch to intercept her. When the
American cutter finally found the
Abbey in Batangas bay, on the south
ern coast of Luzon, the filibuster had
landed her cargo OF arms and muni-
tions, and the insurgents refused to
give them up. Thereupon the Abbey
was seized and taken by the McCul-
loch to Manila. in accordance with ADJ
miral Dewey's desire to maintain the
status quo in the Philippines pending
the conclusion Of the work OF the peace
commission in Paris.

Survived the Great Flood.

There were others who survived the
flood besides Noah and his family,
thinks Peter johnson, an intelligent
Alaskan Indian, who il preparing to
write book in defense of his theory.
Peter has been in Portland for nearly a
month on business connected with the
disposal of quartz mine at Johnson's
inlet. on the Alaskan coast, and he has
succeeded in unloading it on COM
pany of Americans for the neat sum of
$4,000. Part of this he intends to
spend in obtaining data for his pro-
posed work, which will treat on Alaskan
tradition and contain half-tone photos
of the higher mountains which the
Aleuts of 1000 years ago assembled while
tile waters in the Far East were gradu-
ally raising the ark. He feels conf
dent that he can prove to the world
that goodly family of his forefathers
did keep high and dry, and afterwards
lived to people that portion of the
earth near the north pole with Esqui-
maux and Alaskan Indians, who have
written history of the affair on their
totum poles.

Klondike Gold Yield.

The latest estimates of the Klondike
gold yield this season range from $l2,-

is not probable that royalty will this
year be paid on more than So, 900, 900
Exemptions and evasions will give
about double that amount, as the pro-
duction Of the territory for the year
ending in the summer of 1899. The
primitive methods used in working
the claims make it very unlikely that
the washup will give more than from
$12, 1000, 900 to $l5, 900, 900 on the out
side" AS compiled by the Midnight
Sun this seasons yield will be $40, ,000.- :

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
Nav Be Called by the Presi-
dent in October.
ADJUST CURRENCY MEASURE
object Is to Clear the Way for Legisla
tion for the New Colonies-othei
Washington News

Washington, May g. President Mo-
Kinley has talked with some of his
congressional visitors about the ad-
disability of calling an extra session in
October to consider the disposition of
the currency measure, so that it may
not interfere with legislation which
will come later for the government of
the new colonies. There is great
deal of work to come before the next
congress and two months extra session
would help a great deal.
Great satisfaction was expressed at
the war department at the manner in
which Colonel Summers is going ahead
with the Second Oregon and winning
iaurels for himself an ! regiment. As
further details are received concerning
the action of the Oregon regiment,
and especially as reported in Manila
papers, officers here are loud in their
praise of the boys and their officers.
While General Otis does not request
troops, he indicates that more could be
used to advantage. 1t is plain that
with 5000 Filiplnos near Manila and
towns asking for garrisons to protect
them, troops are needed. A call fol
$4,000 more troops might have whole
some effect upon the insurgents.
Senator Mcbride called on President
Mckinley today and invited him to
visit Oregon on his Western trip, re.
mindng him of the invitation that was
sent some time ago by the committee
appointed for the purpose. The presi-
dent assured him that if he made the
Western trip contemplated, he would
gladly extend it to Oregon. He said,
however, that he had not definitely de-
,ded as to whether he would make the
trip, as it would depend much on Abe
pressure OF public business.
Edward Atkinson. whose pamphlets
have been refused transportation to the
Philippines, claimed that the senate
had endorsed his documen ts and made
them government publications. This
is true, but they were ordered printed
as public documents in a perfunctory
manner, the same as thousands Of
other documents are ordered printed by
the senate. Senator Jones, chairman
Of the Democratic national committee,
and Senator Caffery, Of Louisiana.
both rabid anti-expansionists, asked
to have the Atkinson papers printed as
public documents, and without any
one inquiring what they were, the
leave was granted. In the senate, if
leave to print such publications were
refused, the senator asking could read
them and make them official. For this
reason, hundreds OF crank documents
are printed without objection. in order
10 save time and prevent the defeat of
important measures.
Charles Curtis, one of the leading
representatives. OF Kansas, says it is
quite likely that General Funston, who
mas distinguished himself in the Phil
lpplnes, will be sent to the senate after
