here that tho United States battleship
Oregon is ashore on the island Of Hoo
Kie, in the Mac Tao group, fifty miles
north Of Chefoo, and that steamer Of
the Indo-China Steam Navigation
company has gone to her assistance.
Left Hong Kong Last Saturday.
Washington, July 2.-Up to mid
night no official news had been re-
ceived in Washington bearing on the
report that the battleship Oregon had
gone ashore near Chefoo Early last
week Admiral Remey was directed to
send this vessel from Hongkong to
Taku. Capt. Wilde is her commander.
She left Hongkong last Saturday
night, two days before her expected de-
parture. and had on board in addition
to her regular crew 1874 sailors and
marines brought to Hongkong from
Manila by the Zafiro. The distance she
had to travel was about 1900 miles,
and the calculation of the naval officers
here that II the vessel made record
time she would be at Taku in six days.
Today Is the sixth the Oregon has been
on her voyage, SO that in all proba-
bility she must be in the vicinity Of
Chefoo II she maintained her reputa-
ton as a fast battleship.
Trial Trip In 1896.
Coming out of the yards Of the
Irving M. Scott company at San Fran
cisco in May, 1896, she beat all existing
records for ships of her class on her
trial trip, showing maximum speed
of 1874 knots per hour.
The Oregon went into active service
early in 1897, and was the chief vessel
Of the Pacific coast squadron when
early in 1898 the late Captain Charles
E. Clark of the Monterey was given
command of her and ordered to sail
around Cape Horn to take part in the
Impending battle with the approaching
Spanish squadron under Admiral Ger
vera.
That voyage was the most marvel
Gus exploit of it's kind in the history of
Sea-going battle ships. Aside from the
fact that the Oregon is the only battle
ship that ever rounded the Horn, the
voyage was productive Of many unpre-
cedented achievements. For example,
the Oregon's complete journey from
Puget Sound to Sand Key, Fla, done
in eighty-one days, covered 1902 stat
ute miles; or 5,741 nautical miles, the
longest voyage ever made by battle
ship. She steamed 4,726 miles with
out making a stop of any kind, again
creating a record. She steamed 2,S44
knots at a uniform speed of thirteen
knots an hour. The total number of
days she spent at sea, out of the
eighty-one required to make the voy-
age, was fifty-nine.

The Portland daily press., 1900-06-09

President Kruger thinks he will con-
tinue to fight the British in the Trans
vaal and predicts that the bloodiest part of
this tragedy is still to come. But to con-
tinue the war something more than Mr..
Kruger's wish to continue it is needed.
There must be cooperation on the part of
his generals, his soldiers and more i'm
portant still on the part of the people of
the Transvaal. That this cooperation
may be afforded is possible, but 1t is
possible also that it will not be. The
whole population of the Transvaal, sol
diers and generals included, must see that
1t is impossible to avert the destruction of
their independence by continuing the war
now. The odds against them are too ire
mendous. Doubtless guerilla warfare
could be carried on for some time, but to
what end? Only to the killing of more
burghers and the destruction of more of
their property. In time the English
would surely put down the guerillas, even
If they had to exterminate the whole
population to do it. The question then,
which is presented to the burghers, Ii
whether they will struggle longer against
the inevitable simply to waste their lives
and property. That they will give to this
question the answer that Paul Kruger
appears to want them to Is far from Ger
tain. Certainly they win not II they are
guided by their best interests.

color or previous condition of servitude;
that the harmony between the races must

live-it cannot be forced upon them by
legisla ton framed by the people OF the
states where the two races do not live In
industrial and political relationships;
that the conditions of the suffrage may

admit an ignorant white man to the
ballot-box and TO exclude an Intelligent

idle white man and exclude an industri-
Gus, sober, and thrifty colored man; that
methods Of education may be changed;
that they may be made more elementary,
more ethical, more industrial, and less

as automatic that an intelligent popula-

any community than an ignorant popula-

crime, but such changes in criminal law

cases of violence against the person, that
the penalty may follow surely and speed

The st. Louis strike seems TO be proving
worse rather than better SO far rs violence
Is concerned. That may be explained
probably by the fact that the strikers are
evidently losing ground, Z and becoming
more desperate in conseque nee. Three
policemen were shot on Thursday night,
and dynamite was discovered upon the
tracks in several places. There Is no
doubt that if the companies could get
adequate protection they could run their
cars regular, for there is plenty OF men at
hand. But they are cowed by the violence
and threats of the strikers, and dare not
take their places. An armed and desper-
ate mob has determined that no cars shall
be run except upon conditions it imposes,
and at last accounts it seemed to be
having its own way practically.
