Washington. Jan. 29.--The question
of establishing a department of the
government to be known as the depart.
ment OF commerce, with cabinet off.
Ger at its head, has been discussed at
considerable length by the senate COM
mittee on commerce. The discussion

partment the life-saving, lighthouse,
marine hospital and steamboat inspec-
tion service. the bureaus OF navigation,
immigration, statistics and coast and
geodetic surveys; to transfer from the
interior department the commission of
railway, the census Office and the geo.

ment the bureau OF foreign commerce.
The department of labor and the fish

A FARMERS CONGRESS-
Important Gathering to Be
Held at Salem.
REPRESENTING -FOUR STATES
Fruitgrowers, stockmsn, Hopgrowsu
and Horticulturists Will BE
Present Mt Meeting.

Salem, Or, Jan. 29.--The farmers
congress to be held in Salem February
Z and will probably be the most i'm.
portant meeting OF the kind ever held
In this state.
The gathering will be of more thar
state importance, for the agricultural
interests of California, Washington
and Idaho will also be represented. II
will be more than q meeting OF farmers,
as that term is generally understood,
for fruitgrowers, stockmen, hopgrow.
ers, horticulturists, in fact, men Of ali
occupations related to agriculture. will
be present. The congress is intended
TO comprehend all the departments o.
the diversified agricultural industries
Of the coast, and it is expected that s
permanent organization will be Of.
fected.
This movement was started by tho
Salem chamber Of commerce, working
In unison with the state board OF agri.
culture. and one OF the chief objects Il
be attained is the arrangement OF dates
Of the state fairs Of Oregon, California,
Washington and Idaho 30 that there
will be no conflict. By such an ar
rangement horsemen and exhibitors
will be enabled to make the circuit Of
the coast states each season, and the
various fairs will be improved accord
ingly.
Secretary of State Dunbar has
offered the use Of either of the legisla-
tive chambers for the congress, and IL
Is expected that the meetings will be
held in one Of these spacious halls.
The date has been arranged 30 as to be
convenient for those who may come
from various parts of the state to at
tend the meeting OF the League of Re-
publican clubs, to be held in Portland
February 9. Secretary II. B. Thielsen,
Of the Salem chamber of commerce,
has prepared programme for the con-
gress and all who attend the sessions
will be assured q rare treat.

GLOOM IN ENGLAND.
fears That The War Once Is with
holding Bad News.

London, Jan. 29.--Seven days OF
fighting have left the main Boer posi-
ton intact, and General Butler FOG
weaker, according to the official casu-
atty lists, which seemingly do not in
cuDie the spionkop losses, as those last
forwarded do not mention General
Woodgate's wounding.
England is possessed by sense OF
failure, though not word in criticism
OF her generals and soldiers is uttered.
Not much effort is made TO place hap
py construction upon General Buller's
Is words, telling of the retirement
from Spionkop, and there is an uneasy
impression abroad that worse news is
yet to come. At one OF the military
clubs tonight, the statement passed
from one person to another that the
war Office had received an unpleasant
supplementary dispatch from General
Butler, which was being held up for
IL hours.
Spencer Wilkinson, in the Morning
Post, writes as follows Of the Spionkop
losses:
This is a serious matter, and an at
tempt will not here be made to mini
mize it, for no greater wrong can be
done to our people at home than TO mis-
lead them about the significance OF the
events Of the war. The right way ia
to tell the truth, as far as we know it. y
But the facts from the neighborhood
Of the Tugela are scantier than ever.
The censorship now is simply prohibi-
tive, and something is wrong with the
cables. The break on the east coast
lines has been repaired, but the cable
between San Thome and Loanda, on
the west coast, is low interrupted.
More troopspp is the only suggestion
here as to the way to break the Boer
resistance. Mr.. Wilkinson regrets
that General Butler has not 10000
more men, declaring that If they would
not make victory certain, his enter
prise without them is helpless.
The Spectator, dealing with the ne.
cessity OF large additional military pre-.
parations, says: "It may be that we
have yet another cycle OF disasters in
front OF us"
The transport Assaye arrived at Cape
Town last Friday, with 2,127 officers
and men. The first portion of the
seventh division is afoat. Hence,
with the 10000 men OF this division,
and about 5000 now at sea, it lies in
the power OF Lord Roberts to reinforce
General Butler heavily. This course il
advised by several military writer's.
Although England's nerves are Sc.
verely tried, her nerve is absolutely un.
shaken, and probably nothing that can
happen in South Africa will change in
the slightest degree her intentions.
She will continue 10 receive bad news,
il it comes, with dignity, and will

doubtedly great natural resources Of

country. all those conditions will be
changed, the resources of the islands
will be developed, business will ex-

The business interests of Hong
Kong will unquestionably be benefited
by these changed conditions and in
other ways we hail the advent of the

At 6 A. NJ. we commenced withdraw

THE fact that the force should with

plague reported, IL of which proved
fatal. Since that date five cases have
been discovered. The most important
and alarming was that of a white
woman, the wife Of George Borman, an
old resident. This case was reported
the 9th. The woman fingered for two
days and then succumbed. This case
created great alarm among the white
people here, and q citizens meeting
was called and active steps were taken
to district the city, and now house
toulouse inspection is made twice a
day and each occupant must be &C
counted for. It is believed that this
plan will do more to stamp out the
trouble than any steps yet taken. The
board of health still continues to burn
all infected buildings. About one-half
OF Chinatown has been destroyed by
FIRE. Before the month is out it is ex-
pected that this plague spot will be en-
tirely reduced to ashes.
The town of Hilo has come out In
open rebellion against the government,
and threatens to resist by force any at

Plague n New CaIedon,a.

Vancouver. B. c., Jan. 29.--From
Noumea, New Caledonia, the steam
ship Miowera brings alarming reports
of the ravsges OF the plague, which has
been prevalent there since early in De-
cember. There were l6 deaths during
the first 10 days following the out
break. The plague is attributed to the
filthy quarters OF the Japanese, Tonki-
nese and Kanakas. All the Kanakas
have been isolated ON an island adja-
cent to the town. Up to December 20
there had been no deaths among the
whites. eight OF whom had been i'm
fected, but nine Kanakas, two Japanese
and five Tonxinese had died of the dis
ease. Much alarm is felt by the resi-
dents and business is at a standstill.
The natives believe the plague is a visi-

wrong to take means to check it.
