There We're $4,000 natives employed in

would be put into the pockets Of the
mine owners, Monopoly would be an
accomplished fact.
AT present it is possible for inde-
pendent tradesmen and storekeepers TO
make living in johannesburg. With
the compound system once introduced
the town would belong to the finan-
ciers.
The only solution which will con-
serve English interest permanently in
South Africa is to leave the republic
independent so far as their internal
affairs are concerned. Short OF this,
am convinced that England eventual
ly win lose Africa, for il il destroys
the republics now and attempts TO hold
them down while the capitalist ring
jumps on them, she will rouse such a
feeling OF indignation throughout AZ
rica as will place all the Dutch. and
many others who are purely British
in permanent hostility, which means
that England will be unable to govern
the country,
Such serious state of affairs will
not result in the internal independence
OF the republics II left intact with. say
seven years respective franchises en-
bodied in q convention, which believe
the Transyaal would agree to. as an
earnest OF good faith.
DO this and then leave Africa alone
and let the people of the
country settle the country's business.
You can't hold Africa down with. a
bayonet at her throat. That inevita-
bly, will ALLEVIATE your own blood out
there"

WASHINGTON DAY CELEBRATION
Five Mexicans Killed in a Row over
the American Flag.

CHICAGO, Feb. ga special to the
Tribune from Guaymas, Mex, says:
On Washingtons birthday shoot
ing ARRAY occurred at Pilares de Tier
ra. in which three Americans and five
Mexicans were killed.
From accounts it appears a friendly
feeling had existed at Pilares and in
order to do honor 20 the United States
it was arranged to raise the flags Of the
two republics together on the flag
staff.
The Mexicans had charge OF the ar
fair and raised the American flag
above the Mexican TO the complete sat
isfaction Of the Americans. But when
the Americans showed so much appre-
citation OF the act the Mexicans found
they had made a mistake and decided
to lower and re-hoist the flag with
the Mexican flag on top. Then the
Americans declared such transaction
would be an insult TO the American
flag.
Superintendent Danforth told the
Mexicans that they would have to
shoot him before they could haul down
the American flag. 1t was held that
the tiags should have been hOisted
properly in the first place. The Mexi-
cans were about to mob Danforth when
Charles Hogsett, who was with the
Rough Riders in Cuba, interposed with
six shooter in each hand.
Firing from both sides Immediately
ensued and Hogsett was killed. Cap
tain Evans and Dick Rea, two other
Americans, were mortally wounded
But the Americans held the fiagpole
and both flags fioated through the day
Five MeAicans were killed and the
dance which was to have followed was
a failure, as no Mexicans attended, and
there were less than half a dozen
Americans in condition for dancing.

JOAQUIN MILLER COMING,

This City.

On Thursday. March s. the people of
Astoria win have the privilege Of see

Serrias. in his lecture on Alaska, Our
Arctic Empire with prelude on Les
sons Not Found in Books"
Joaquin Miller needs no introduction
TO oregonians They know him better
than the people anywhere else in the
world. for he grew up in Oregon and
spent much of his life here. OF his
fame no need be told. Sir Edwin Ar
mold, the poet, names Joaquin Miller
one Of the two greatest poets America
has produced. The Critic placed him
among the very greatest Of all poets
This is high praise, and when it is
praise of a man whose young man
hood (the time OF life that makes the
most impression on a MANI was spent
in Oregon. we may well be proud OF
his genius.
As a speaker, Mr.. Miller is as famous
as he is as poet. OF his first lecture
al the Keith theater, Boston, a year
ago. the Boston Daily Globe says: "An
audience OF two thousand people lis
tened TO his word painting of "our
Arctic Empire When he began by
quoting from the Bible, Hast thou seen
the treasures of the snow.' there was
silence; and he was applauded and

NEW POLITICAL coMBINATIoN

Monday Nights Telegram.
Practically the Mitchell republicans
are no more. at least they have no par
ty organization and many have re-
turned to the true fold.
A federal official. who has been an
ardent Mitchell man. declared that
there are about 1000 votes left Of his
former associates, and lntimated that
If the democrats viii be careful and
put up good people on their ticket, that
there is an excellent chance OF electing
city and county officers. This tends
to corroborate the rumor that has been
prevalent for some tine that the demo-
Gratis will make a deal with The rem
nants Of the Mitchell republicans.
Street gossip says that the democrats
will sacrifice their legislative ticket in
return for support in local affairs. The
deal is figured out in this manner:
A year hence the term Of United
States Senator George Mcbride will ex-
pire, and the senior senator from Ore
gon Is desirous Of being returned TO
the upper house Of congress. Members
of the next legislature will choose Sen
ator McBride's successor. II he cannot
induce them to select him to succeed
himself. Members Of the legislature
will be elected next June, and In fur
tberance of the senator's plans 1t Is
necessary to go to work early and pack
as many supporters in the Legislature
as possible. Multnomah county will
have nineteen votes in the next legls-
lative body, owing to the recent reap
portionment, making nineteen out Of
the total Of ninety votes. 1t has been
figured out, giving the benefit Of every
doubt to Senator Mcbride, that his
maximum strength will be twenty
nine, divided into twenty in the house
and nine In the senate. This would BE-
seventeen short Of election. II is pos
sible that one or two more votes can
be picked UP in counties now consid-
cred unfayOrable to McBrlde's re-elec-
ton, but in any event Multnomah must
be had. Multn0mah has some hold
over senators, so that the entire nine
teen votes could not go to Mcbride. To
make combination with the demo-
Gratis in this county is McBride's only
hope Of salvation. It Is understood
that the leaders Of the democrats are
willing to swap or commit their legisla-
tive ticket for Mcbride, providing

conditions that prevail at present in

The amalgamation Of the diamond
mines under the De Beers company
resulted in a decrease of the white pop

compounds which they might not leave

The Boer government resolutely set

Charles Towne In Denver.

Denver, Oct S.-Charles A. Towne
OF Minresota spoke to crowded house
at the Coliseum tonight. So great was
the attendance that it was necessary to
hold an overflow meeting in front Of the
building. The speaking was preceded
by a parade participated in by the mem
bers Of numerous Democratic cluos, in
Guiding the Orman Flambeau club. The
meeting which was under the auspices
of the silver republica party, was called
to order by w. b. Griffith, Willard Tell
er, Of Denver. was the first speaker.
Mr.. Towne treated all the various
questions Of the campaign, practically
endorsing all the principles of the dem
ocratic party. One of the most impur
tant features of his address was the
prediction that no matter which party
won, within four years bimetalliem
would become an international necess-
ity. The waking up Of China, as he ex-
pressed it, would he thought, very large
ly contribute to this result.

says:
1.-The republicans have a chance to
carry Neg Perce county in north Idaho.
and Oneida, Lincoln and Ada counties
in tho house. Tho fight will be close in
all these counties and neither side will
have much majority.
"The republicans cannot carry a coun-
ty in the state outside Of those four BY
the most liberal estimate they cannot
elect twenty out of the fifty members Of
the legislature.
"Ths republicans are trying to create
the impression that the Mormons in
southeastern Idaho will vote the repub-
lican ticket and in consequence Fremont,
Bingham, Bancock, Bear. Lake and Cas-
sia will support Mckinley and the re-
publican ticket.
"All these counties are strongly anti
republican and they will east their usu al
majorities against the republican ticket.

The Murder Trial.

The trial OF Edward Franklin for the
murder OF Chris Arney was concluded
last night in verdict for aequittal by
the jury, the result being reached short
ly after 9 o'clock.
There was a great deal of good feeling
among the COW boys at the result Of the
trial as they believed, and 30 doee nearly
every body else that Franklin shot in self
defense when he took Arney's life.
The fact that Franklin came back and
gave himself up to stand trial was much
in his favor and gave him the benefit OF
the doubt in the minds OF the court and
jury.
Henry w. Ross made very able de-
fense Of Franklin.
