A Blaze of Glory.

The picnic of Benton county
ended in a blaze of glory in Al
sea last Tuesday, July end. The
Modern Woodnnan and the
Grangers of Alsea united on this
occasion. Everything passed Of
as had been arranged. The pro-
gram was excellent and nothing
was left undo1le to make the day
a pleasant one.
There were contests between
the pupils who recited. Freddie
Tharp winning one of the prizes
and the other successful contest
ants name was not obtained.
One of the most pleasing features
of the day was the free for all
contest during the noon hour.
The contestants were evenly
matched. But after careful ex.
animation of the credited points,
it was decided that E. II. Bel
knap, ]. F. Yates and Sup't G. w.
Denman tied for first place. tits
said that each of these gentlemen
cleaned their plates, as well as
the table for several feet around
them. The dinner was pro-
nounced by all to be the best ever
prepared by the good cooks of un.
surpassed Alsea. The fair ladies
of this valley had prepared every
thing that would in the least de.
gree please and satisfy the large
crowd that had assembled. If
any of the boys of old Benton
are in search of a good cook it
will be well for them to quietly
enter the peaceful and beautiful
valley Alsea, make due investiga-
ton, before closing the contract.
The addresses of Mr.. E. n.
Belknap on ''Woodcraft'' and
Mr.. J. F. Yates on "The Grange
were especially entertaining, in.
teresting and well received.
Many complimentary remarks
were made on each effort. Dur
ing the day there was presented
to Alta Grace Oglesby and Lille
Webster eighth grade county
graduation diplomas by Sup't
Denman in a few words.
A very pretty feature of the
program was the procession of
the Woodmen and Grangers. It
is estimated that there were be-
tween $50 and 200 persons in
line. The Dusty band furnished
the best of music and plenty of
it. These boys are fxtrnes when
it comes to Alsea picnics. They
have played at every picnic in
this valley for the past three or
four years. Judging from pres.
ent indications they will continue
this practice. At least it is said
that severalare thinking seriously
of making their permanent home
in this Garden Of Edenn of
Benton.
The other contests were enjoy
ed by all. They consisted of
saving contests won by Tom
Vidito and Brick. Rycraft; chop
ping contest won by Tom Vidito.
The contestants in the other con-
tests were not obtained. The.
days festivities closed with
grand ball in the Grange Hall,
under the management of Thos.
Vidite.

the emergency hospitals no cases Of vio-
Ience were reported In the wholesale
district il was stated that business was
moving better than 81 any tine. and on
the city front similar information vas
received. II was stated that at Port

Among the strikers there seems to
have come a renewal Of eonfidezee The
leaders say that the showing made by

appearance of those who marched. has
had a distinct effect on the situation, and
that il has virtually won the fight II
is also declared that while the parade
was not under police protection and
while the police were needed only 70 keep
back the crowds from pressing on the
marehers. there was no violence OF any
kind reported during the day.
The incident Of the day that caused
most comment was the fling of suit
in the United States Circuit Court by
the Pacific Coast Steamship COMPANY
against the Marine Firemen's Un.on and
the Sailors Union Of the Pacific for
SIS 900 damages These suits were
brought to see il the contracts made be-

time since the beginning OF the trouble
They say that not more than one-haif tbs
teams are running that were out two
weeks ago. and that the work on the

that it is evident TO every sailor anC

FILIpINOS BECOME
MEMBERS OF COMMISSION
Three Natives Appointed to Assist
the Men Sent From the States by

the same time, but was unable TO do 50
owing to illness.
Civil Governor Taft said today that
the ceremony does not fully complete the
Government the President intends form
ing. but sufficient has been done TO show
the nature of the policy to be followed.
Municipal governments hay been gener-
ally formed of a substantially autono-
nous character. Their officers are entire
ly natives The provincial governments
are partly American and partly Filipino.
Now the Philippine Commission is part
ly American and partly Filipino, it being
the purpoes of the President to form
government in which the native element
viii be able TO voice the desires of the
people their local aspirations and neces-
sites and give the Filipinos an example
of American institutions and the Gus
toms and laws prevailing in the United
States. The happiness of the people will
result from practical government and
not from theories -ons the part of many
of these gentlemen to appear to desire to
multiply the difficulties of the Govern
ment by creating new parties to embody
political theories when they might more
probably advance their country's well
fare by devoting their time and talents
/ to amending and improving the laws of
the legally constituted body. There viii
be time enough for theories when the
Government is running smoothly. Yester-
day was the anniversary of the beginning
of legislative work The committee
have worked hard and much will have
been accomplished if they feel they have
advanced with the same progression
year hence and viii be assured of the
success of their efforts.
DR.. de Tavera said that hardly had the
people begun TO appreciate the work of
pacification than they were accorded the

MADRID, Oct 15.-An extraordinary

under the presidency of the Queen Re-

and elsewhere.
Fresh disturbances are reported at Sew

BALLOON TRIP FAILS
IN THE MEDITERRANEAN
Warship That Escorted the Aerial
Ship Is Now Returning to

PARIS, Oct. 15.-The attempt of the
Count de la Vaux to cross the Mediter-
ranean in balloon, which left Les Sab
lettes, near Toulon, Saturday night, has
failed. The Minister of Marine, M. de
Lanessan, has received a dispatch from
Toulon announcing that the cruiser Du
Chayla, which was escorting the balloon
is returning to port with the balloon and
her passengers, which she picked up ten
miles east of st. Laurente lighthouse
The balloon was uninjured.
The result of the experiment did not
cause any surprise after the news brought
to Marseilles by incoming steamers this
morning that the southeast winds which
were blowing out at sea would carry the
balloon to the coast of Spain or to Gibral-
tar. Moreover, the latest news from the
passengers of the balloon indicated that
it was proceeding very slowly These two
factors probably caused Count de Ia
Vaux to abandon his attempt.

enga cement. He also made a correction
in his former statement concerning his
conversation with Commodore Schley on
first meeting him. His corrected state
ment of that incident was presented by
his interpreter in written form and read
as follows:
Nunez Corrects Testimony.
During the conversation I had with
Commodore Schley said, not that the
accordance with the information I had
had in Kingston, Jamaica, in regard to
the dimensions of the Spanish ships, they
were of such a large size that they could
not get into the harbor in consideration of
the narrowness Of the channel and the
quick turn they had to make at the Dia-
mond Shoal in front of the entrance. and
I still believe that vessels of such size
cannot enter Santiago, not being under
the most favorable conditions of weather.
I also was asked by Admiral Schley If L
thought his flagship could enter the har-
Dor, and 1 answered him that 1 did not
consider it advisable, for the reason be-
fore mentioned, and because there were

Lieutenant Commander Sears followed

at the beginning of the examination that
he would ask him concerning the points
of the precept and requesting that replies
should be as concise as possible, Sears
said that when the flying squadron arrived
off Cienfuegos he knew nothing of a code
of signals for communicating with the Gu
ban insurgents. Questioned concerning
the McCaIla Memorandum, he said that 4

DEATH MAKES SUMMONS
FOR THE DUKE OF ALBA
Distinguished Grandee of Spain Dies
From Heart Failure in New
York

NEW YORK. Oct. 15.-The Duke of
Spain, died from heart failure this after
noon at his apartments in the Holland
House. He came to this city on Septem-
Der 81 to witness the international yacht
race as the guest Of Sir Thomas Upton.
On the day of the last race he contracted
a severe cold which developed into in
fuenza. His condition improved greatly
during the past few days and up to with
in few moments of his death he was en-
tertaining a party of friends.
Shortly after the party had left the
Duke complained to his valet of severe
pains in the region of mis- heart. He was
assisted to his couch and medical aid
hastily summoned but before the physi-
clans had arrived the Duke expired.
The Duke of Alba, or Alva, as it is
sometimes spelled, SO years of age
In social and titular rank he was the
leader OF Spanish society, He was four
teen times a count, nine times
grandee of the first class and
twelve times a marquis. His estate
was the most extensive private prop
erty in Spain and his palace at Ma
drid for many years has been the center
of social gaiety. Much Of his time bad
been spent, however, in London. The
Duke was we'll known in this country
where he has been a frequent visitor. He
was a spectator Of the Americas cup

Officers Tell of the Acts Of the Ad-
miral While in Battle.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The presenta-
ton of the Schley side of the case was
continued in the Schley court of inquiry
to-day. At the instance of Raynor, the
Judge advocate summoned Lieutenant
Commander James H. Sears, who was Ad-
miral Schley's flag officer on board the
Brooklyn during the war with Spain. He
testified to many details connected with
the campaign and was followed by other
naval officers who served on the Brook
lyn.
The list for the day included: Lieutenant
Commander N. E. Mason, executive officer
of the Brooklyn; Lieutenant Commander
T. D. Griffiths, who had charge of the
powder division of Admiral Schley's flag
ship, and Lieutenants Edward Simpson,
who was in charge of the eight-inch tur-
ret of the Brooklyn and opened fire on
the Spaniards when they came out of the
harbor at Santiago; Charles Webster and
Edward McCauley, the former being a
watch officer and the latter signal officer
of the Brooklyn.
Admiral Schley thinks 1t probable that
the presentation of testimony in his be-
half can be completed this week and next.
He will be the last of the witnesses to be
heard and will make review of the en-
tire campaign, covering the points in con-
troversy.
Eduardo Nunez, the Cuban pilot, was
among those who were called to correct
former. testimony. He added to his state
ment of yesterday that he had seen the

M M I one new witness was heard

of inquiry to-day. This

of inquiry to-day. This
was Lieutenant Commander
James H. Sears, who was
Admiral Schley's flag lieutenant during
the Spanish war. He gave a detailed ac-
count of the entire Cuban campaign, in
Guiding the brief siege of Cienfuegos, the
retrograde movement Of the flying squad
ron in seach of coal, the blockade of San
tiago, the reconnaissance of the Santiago
shore batteries and the bombardment of
the Cristobal Colon, May 81, and the bat
tie off Santiago, July 8, when Cervera's
fleet was destroyed. He placed the dis
tance of the blockading line at Cientue-
gos as one to four miles, and at San
tiago at from three to six miles. He ex-
pressed the opinion that in the battle of
July it had been the Vizcaya's inten-
ton to ram the Brooklyn.
While Commander Sears was the
stand Captain Lemly asked his age, but
the court, after quite prolonged con-
sultation in retirement, directed that the
question was not admissible. 1t held,
however, that the time Of service could
be inquired into.
Raynor sought to secure the introduc-
ton of a brief report of the battle of July
8, which Commodore Schley prepared for
transmission to the Secretary of the
Navy 1t was stated that Commander
Scars had taken this dispatch ashore to
be cabled to the Secretary but that it
had never reached that official The dis
patch was ruled out on the ground that
as it was not received it was not an
official communication 1t was not read
in the courtroom, but the following is a
copy Of it.:
