CHANGE OF FRONT.

Kautz and Coghlan Escape Easier Than
Was Intended.
Washington, April May 2.-Thele
is considerable comment upon the man
ner in which the administration has
handled the Coghlan and Kautz affairs.
/ was decided at first to relieve Cogh-
Ian of the command of the Raleigh,
but this was reconsidered. and repri-
mand was addressed to him. The
president did not think the offense very
grave, considering that he went aboard
the Raleigh and was very chummy
with the captain. AS to Admiral
Kautz, it was first decided to recall
him because of his letter to his cousin.
This was modified to writing him let
ter saying such letters tended to bring
ridicule on both himself and the gov
eminent. The change in the program
me is only explained by the belief that
the administration believed it would
be more unpopular to humble two gal
liant naval officers than to have the
Germans feel piqued.
In this same connection. it may be
said there is every indication that the
Germans or some other power un.
friendly to the United States has been
encouraging the Filipinos.
1t is not believed the latter have been
carrying on the war unassisted. 1t il
certain that the Filipinos have found
it easy to obtain ammunition, and
Dewey's feet has not been large enough
to patrol the entire coast of Luzon and
cut off the supply.

A Good Calculator.

When Sir Thomas Moore was i'm
prisoned in the Tower of London for
refusing to sully his conscience. his
wife rallied at him for his folly in re-
naming in a filthy prison when he
might be merry at home with his
family and in favor also with the king
and council.
He replied: "Why. good Alice, is
not this prison as near heaven as my
own homer?
In answer to her sneer of contempt
he asked: "How long, think you.
might one live to enjoy this house OF
ours?''
perhaps some 20 years. was her
answer.
"Were not he bad calculator, then,

years would risk the loss of an eter-

Flour Adulteration IN Tt.,x.

In the Alta Italia a well-known
Bretscian firm received a visit the
other day from the sanitary officer of
Milan and was found to have on the
premises, for supply to the baking fra
teInity large quantities of -four adul-
terated with ''coalina' that is, the
double silicate Of alum and potash, a
substance employed in porcelain manu-
factories and very pernicious to health.
Following up his search the officer dis.
covered in several baking houses OF
Brescia another quantity of flour
furnished by the same firm and con-
tanning from 0.85 to 40 per cent of
sulphate of barium, powder not ac-
tually poisonous like the 'scoalina, |"
but very heavy and hurtful to the con-
sumer's stomach. Convicted Of this
serious contravention of the sanitary
law, the head Of the firm in question
was put under arrest.

TAKING NO RISK.

Otis, While Waiting for Peace, Pre-
pares for War.
Manila, May 2.-While it is the gen.
eral expectation among Americans that
the Filipino emissaries will return
with revised proposals from General
Antonio Luna, Major-G General Otis is
not letting this prospect interfere with
his preparations for pushing the war.
Yesterday he ordered Major General
Lawton to return to Angat. a few
miles northwest of Norzagaray, and not
to advance aggressively while the ne
gotiations are pending. General Mac
Arthur is apparently acting on the
same policy. but he is repairing
bridges and streng thening the lines OF
his force. which is stretched out with a
four-mile front and within quarter OF
mile of the enemy.
The possibilities Of peace are graft
flying to great majority of the army,
who have regarded the war as an un-
pleasant duty that must be performed
according to American traditions.
Manila is cheerful over the prospects
of a return to normal life, though
there are skeptics who remark that a
truce would enable the insurgents to
rest until the rainy season, upon which
they have been depending as an i'm
pOrtant aid.

Survived the Great Flood.

There were others who survived the
food besides Noah and his family,
thinks Peter johnson, an intelligent
Alaskan Indian, who is preparing to
write book in defense of bis 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 a.com-
pany of Americans for the neat sum OF
$40, 1000. Part of this he intends to
spend in obtaining data for his pro-
posed work, which will treat on Alaskan
tradition and contain balf-tone photos
of the higher mountains which the
Aleuts of 1000 years ago assembled while
the waters in the Far East were gradu-
ally raising the ark. He feels conf
dent that he can prove to the world
that a 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.

Absent Minded.
Once upon time very lovely lady,
who lives in l street-or at least
think it's / street-advertised for a
butler. Divers and sundry persons ap-
Piled for the place, and among them
one man pleased her very much indeed.
He had been butler. he said, for Gen.
SUCH One, and Mrs. Gen. Such-a-
One, he was quite sure, would recon-
mend him. Accordingly. madam sat
down to write a note to Mrs. Gen.
Such One, asking about him. Now.
madam, as all her acquaintance know,
is the most absent-minded woman the
shadow of the monument ever fell on.
She wrote the note, but in it there was
no mention of Higgins. the butler. In
stead the note read:
"Dear Madam: Will you kindly tell
me what the habits and characteristics
of Gen. Such-a-O One are, and how long
he has lived with you?''
Mrs. Generals reply drove all the
cobwebs from the absent-minded
woman's brain.
Madam" 1t ran, as to Gen. Such
a-One's habits and characteristics, they
are matters Of which public record will
inform you. AS to how long he has
lived with me, it is none of your bust
ness"

phatically underlined. Washington

ATulN LAKE MINES.
The status OF Americans In the Ter
rftOry.

The status OF Americans In the Ter
ritory.
Washington, May 2.-T0 meet many
demands for information as 10 the
status of American miners in the goid
fields of the Atlin lake region, OF Brit
ish Columbia, the state department
has published report from Consul
Smith, at Victoria. emb0dying copy
of the placer mining act. passed by the
legislative assembly of British Column
bia, January Is last. This act pro-
hibits the holding of claims by aliens,
and its passage has done much to COM
plicate the settlement by negotiation
of the issues over the boundary Ques-
ton. The consul says that there has
also been trouble since the discovery OF
the Atlin lake gold fields over the
loosely defined boundary between Brit
ish Columbia and the Northwest terri
tory. At first these fields were be-
lieved to be in the Northwest territory;
now they are declared to be in British
Columbia. The immediate result is
that a number of American citizens
are to be dispossessed. although they
hold their claims under certificates OF
the gold commissioner.
Consul Smith includes in his report
an Interpretation of the laws in re-
gard to the holding of claims in United
States territory. This was obtained
by him upon application of Secretary
Hitchcock, of the department OF the
interior. In substance the secretary's
opinion is that the right to occupy
and purchase mining claims within
the United States is reserved exclusively
to citizens and persons who have de-
clared intention, and this statement is
not modified by the provision OF the act
of March 2, 1897, which declares that
the act shall not be construed to pre-
vent aliens from acquiring and holding
mining claims, and also the provision
authorizing Canadian citizens to &C.
quire in Alaska the same rights en-
joyed by United States citizens in Brit
ish Columbia and the Northwest terri
tory. As to this latter section, Secre-
tary Hitchcock says it has been found
impracticable thus far to promulgate or
enforce any rules or regulations to give
it effect, for the reason that while the
Canadian law permits the leasing OF
mineral land upon royalty, the United
States law has no such provision.
There is, therefore, conflict that can
not be recOnciled.

Pacific Northwest
At Pendleton, Or, there is on foot
plan for the formation of what will be
called the Pacific Northwest Producers
Association, which will before long
make itself strong factor in the in
dustrial life of this section. Thus
far, the mem bership secured consists
only of farmers and grain producers.
but it is hoped that the wool men and
sheep breeders will come in. The
mem bers sign the following agreement:
"We, the undersigned producers OF
the county of - and state OF -,
do hereby agree to unite ourselves in a
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

one grand body and to promote har-
mony and work for the general welfare
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

to form the association, and already
there are on the lists of prospective
members 1853 farmers, wheat growers.
