WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

Mr.. McKinley's attempt to
play politics with the Chinese
embodiment by making it
appear that hisgoyernment
was acting in concert with
Russia, gave him a good
scare. His idea was that as
Russia was regarded by the
American public as England's
traditional enemy, it would
serve to lessen the public be-
lief in the existence Of secret
understanding between this
government aud England, If
this government appeared to-
be acting in partnership with
Russia, in China. The recep-
tion of the reply OF this gov
ernment to Russia's propos-
al for the withdrawal of
Il oops from China, by the
press of this country and
Europe, frightened him so
badly that he FASTENED to
have it given out officially in
ashington, that this Coy
eminent had not agreed to
[act with Russia, but had in
formed Russia that the U. s.
troops would be withdrawn
from Peking. if the Russian
troops were. The public was
also further infOrned that it
our troops should be with
drawn at the ga Inc time those
OF Russia were, it would not
be because we would act with
Russia. but because we wOnld
acts independently, all OF
which is as clear as mud.

Well Meant, But Too Late.

A pathetic story, true or
well-invented, comes from tha
st. Louis Republic. At a lit
tie station ffty miles from
Chicago, an old farmer board
ed a railway train; a thin
man, with a sensitive mouth
half.concealed by an iron
gray beard, dressed in what
were evidently his most un.
comfortable Sunday clothes,
He slid softly into a seat be-
side a grave stranger.
Two or three times the old
man turned his face toward
the flying landsca pc. The
stranger was struck with the
troubled expression, an d
glanced wisiully at his com.
panion. The latter spoke at
last with a pathetic huski-
ness IN his voice:
: III am going to the city for
the second time in my life, "
he said. half-staI tied at his
own words.
"Yes?"
"Thirty years ago come

ding suit, and | am going
back today for a coffin and
a shroud for the little woman
who married me.
"You don't know what it
is, mister" he continued, "to

man for thirty years, day in
and day out, to find her al.

working-and then leave her
lying dead and cold with her

her breast. 1t was Just a lit
tie after the turn of the night,
and nobody but me was
watching, when Margaret
kinder woke up.
"'David,' says she, it's
restful-so restful, and | am
so tired'' And so she went
to sleep again and didn't
wake up this side OF heaven.

"YOu know, stranger, these

The desertion of the Repub

ma declares that, although he had been
urged to stand for the permanent chair
manship OF the next Republican na-
tional convention, he would not do so.
"There are other men," he said,
"who are more ambitious than |, and

He also declared that he will not be
one OF the delegation.at-large from Ohio.

shall have an uncontested place in the
Ohio delegation-at-large," he explained,
"and am glad tostep out in his favor.

place to me as a senator, there would
be contest between General Grosvenor
and General Dick. being out Of it,
there will be room for both OF them as
there should be, and friction will be

1t is evident from the foregoing that

VALLEY TOWNS INVITED
To Join Salem in Sending an Immigra
tion Agent East.

To Join Salem in Sending an Immigfa-
tion Agent East.
Secretary Thielsen of the Salem Cham
Der of Commerce was busy yesterday
preparing letters to the boards Of trade or
representative commercial bodies of the
valley towns asking their cooperation in
an effort to send out some competent
man TO travel through the middle vest
ern states and lay before the people
there the advantages Of this section.
1t is proposed to provide for a four
months engagement at first, and it is es-
timated that the expense will be about
5000 per month, exclusive OF r. II. fares,
which latter will be provided for by the
Salem Chamber.
1t is suggested that each town con-
tribute in proportion to its population,
and when the requisite sum OF $500 has
been raised, a meeting may be held, a
man selected to go, and all details ar.
ranged.
The secretary's letter says:
"We propose that every city and town
subscribing, shall be requested 10 pre-
pare a statement as to its reeds In Ihe
way OF manufacturers, ETC., and any
inducements or advantages it may have
10 offer to secure the same, and that the
agent shall endeavor to procure what
ever may be thus desired we propose
further, that every land owner in
Marion and Polk counties who has any
land to sell, shall be invited TO send a
full description of the same, together
with prices and terms, upon suitable
blanks which we will provide for that
purpose, so that our agent may be able
to show the intending settler just what
he can find when he arrives here.
1t is self evident that II this part of
Oregon wishes to get its share OF immi.
grafton, it must make some effort in
that direction. Probably worked out,
the plan of travelling through the state
from which our immigration comes, and
spreading information about this states
and the opportunities offered here is a
good one.
1t is hoped that the appeal to our
sister towns to Join us in movement
in which we are all interested will meet
4 hearty respose.

understand the policy Of some factors,
whose reports are much more pessimis-
tic than the situation justi6es. As re-
puted friends Of growers, it appears to
me that they manifest their friendship
in peculiar manner by "crying stinken
fish" and it is frequently suggested to
my thoughts that planters have no
friends but themselves, but that their
own self assertion is the only means
whereby they can free themselves from
the letters in which their industry is
bound.

Markets.
Lupuhn In Mark Lane Express,
Can we yet feel the turning Of the
tide" in Borough hop affairs2 l am in
clined to think so, and although l did
not anticipate any such movement till
we had passed through the Christmas
holidays, there are slight indications
that il has already commenced. II is
quite certain that large amount OF bus
iness has been done during the past
fortnight, and that buyers have not
found their offers so readily accepted
this week. Perhaps they have not yet
consented to move upwards, TO any ap-
preciable extent, as there are still rum
ors Of transactions at rates far below ac-
tual values. But merchants are appar-
emily preparing the minds OF their Gus
toners, for higher prices, as they are in
some cases reporting that usual samples
are being sought after at few shillings
advance, while holders OF such qualities
are not now anxious or even willing to
sell at prices recently current.
The market is gradually hardening
under the combined influence of the
reticence Of planters, the conviction that
1t cannot be depressed by any excessive
imports, and the increased demand for
beer created by the continuance OF mild
weather. There is doubtless a consider
able quantity OF hops still unsold: but
we may be certain that brewers have
not yet nearly stocked up, and that
large purchases must be made before
their full supplies are provided for. At
the first intimation OF stronger mar
ket inquiries will be pushed forward
without delay, and these will furnish
the opportunity for growers to maintain
their position, and to realize much bet
ter money than they have heard Of for

Chehalis. Washington, Bee.
The hop crop OF Washington has been
estimated at 1888 bales. This Is
Klaber's estimate we understand. The
estimate of 1000 bales in Lewis county
is more than 500 bales too high. II the
estimates OF other counties are proper
tionately high il would reduce the total
number OF bales raised in the state 10
less than 10000.
Yakima, Wash, Republic
The movement OF hops is decided
slow this week with offerings running @.
7 and Sc. Up TO date there have been
shipped from this place in the neighbor-
hood of $500 bales leaving something
like the same number yet unsold or in
the warehouses.
-Cooperstown Farmer, The local
market has seen another quiet week,
not over 250 bales having been pur-
chased since our last issue, exclusive of
the James f. Clark growth. This
crop OF 5l7 bales, about 10000 lbs was
taken by T. w. Thayer at &c. The run
OF prices on purchases this week has
been from 8 TO l3c. with the bulk of
the business below l0c.
-Schoharie Republican, Brewers's are
