lie was defeated in the legislature Of
1895, when. after bitter faCtiOnal
fight. IN wE5-l his chief opponent was
former Senator II. W. COrbett, a mill
Honaire banker Of Portland, and which
lasted the entire session of sixty days,
George W. Mcbride was chosen as a
compromise.
This is the second time that the
Democratic legislators of Oregon have
been responsible for Mitchell being
sent to the senate. 4 deadlock was
threatened in 1877. when at the last
moment, the Democratic members
threw their support TO Mitchell and
he was elected.
Senator Mitchell has been the cen
ter of one of the most prolonged and
vicious fractional political fights that
has ever occurred in the United States.
His most bitter enemy has been H.
w. Scott, editor Of the Portland Ore
gOnian, who has most strenuously OPP
posed Mitchell since 1872. when the
latter was first elected to the United
States senate
Ex-senator Corbett has been the
choice of the OregOnian for years for
senator. He is one of the most pro-
nGunced gold standard men n the
west. but since 1872, when he first OPP
posed Mitchell he has never succeeded
in rallying support sufficient to land
him in the senate. Each legislature for
the past ever d. years HeiS ASeFNOu v III
scandal, charges of the most serious
che Tacter being laid at the door of
COrbett But with the help of the Or
egOnian he has bObbed up serenely at
each session, and was responsible for
the deadlock that left Oregon without
q senator four years ago. It was short
ly after this session that Governor
Lord appointed COrbett 10 the senate,
but that body refused to seat him.
Up to 1896 Mitchell was an enthusi-
astic silver man, but when the Repub-
lean national platform declared for
the gold standaT1, he accepted the de-
cree, although s Republican Oppo-
nents still class him among the be-
/ levers in the white metal.

To Settle Cuban Question.

Washington, Feb 24-There have
been several conferences today of SEN
atOrs looking to an amicable under
standing on the Cuban question, so
that an extra session may be avoided.
AS a result, Il is said tonight to be
probable that an amendment dealing
with our relations with Cuba will be
presented in the senate tomorrow when
the army appropriation bill is taken up
The amendment will be on the lines
outlined by the Associated Press last
night. The exact phraseOlOgy of the
amendment, it. is said, has not been
definitely settled as yet, but the con-
ferences have made it likely that the
opposing parties viii get together.

Sacramento Rive is Hiah.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 24-The Sacra-
mento river has today been at twenty
eight feet, the highest point il has passed
since February, 1882. when it went to
twenty-nine feet six inches. 1t is causing
no trouble in this vicinity, but several
miles down the river. below Freeport,
the water is higher than ever before. as
there have been no breaks in the ievees
on the Yolo side. At that point the water
is overlapping the levee. but the quantity
going over is so small that il will do nc
harm. Tonight the American rivGE is
falling. and as the upper Sacramento is
falling also there will probably be a con-
siderable fan BY tomorrow.

GALA DAY IN CUBA.
Demonstration in Honor of Independ-
ence of Island.

Havana, Feb. Undergraduate day
was celebrated with professions, mass
meetings and general demonstrations
of rejoicing. There was a parade of
10000 school children bearing Cuban
flags. General and Mrs Wood were
showered with flowers by the children
as they passed.
The republican party held a meeting.
Senior Capote, who presided, spoke IA
vOrably of the United States, while the
remarks of Senior Zayas was rather
revolutionary. Senior Zayas asserted
that the Cuban leaders should initiate
the martyrs of the past. He declared
that trick which the Americans have
been playing upon the Cubans is the
cause of the acknowledgment of the
island.
He predicted that the end Of all
would be dissatisfaction, adding that
independence would only be attained
by the machetes of liberators.
Cuba" he exclaimed, should be
preserved for the glories of the Latin
race"
Senior Juan Gualberto Gomez ar
raigned the advocates of annexation as
traitors to the cause of Cuba.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The Repub-

that no final agreement has been

probable.

LAST WEEK OF HOUSE
Much Important Business Yet
on Hand.
NO MORE NEW BILLS
NUMBER OF SPEECHES BOOKED
FOR THE SENATE.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The last week
OF this congress in the house will be
mainly occupied with conference re-
ports on the appropriation bills. and
the other numerous measures now be-
ing fought over by the managers of the
two houses. The last of the general ap-
preparation bills went to the senate on
Thursday, and the house had its desks
pretty we'll cleared for the final con-
test with The senate. Some Of these
struggles probably will be exceedingly
fierce, but when it comes down to ac-
tual work the house can dispose OF
business under its rules with much
greater celebrity than the senate
The last six days of the session are
suspension days, and it is always pos
sible to bring the house TO a, vote on
any proposition under a motion to SuS-
pend the rules, which provide for only
twenty minutes debate upon a side.
The time has practically gone by for
the passage OF new bills, although an
attempt doubtless viii be made to Sc
cure action on the bills to promote the
efficiency of the revenue cutter ser
vice and to create a standardizing bu-
reau.
Beyond this and a few small bills of
! local Importance no effort will be made
to put through any bills. The leaders
/ know that it would be a waste of time
| It probably will be necessary to hold
/ night sessions during the latter part
/ of the week, and both houses viii set
next Sunday to continue the legisla-
| tive day Of Saturday which expires al
/ noon March 4.
Appropriation Bills in Senate.
! The army appropriation bill will re-
| ceiVe the attention of the senate dur
/ ing the early part of the week, and
! when it is disposed of another apprO-
/ priation bill viii be taken UP. 1t is
/ probable that the army bill viii be de-
| bated at length, especially upon the
! Philippine amendment and the amend
ment relating to Cuba, if the latter is
| introduced as is proposed. These
| amendments will be made the basis OF
| a number of speeches.
/ 1t is hoped that the sundry civil bill
| will be reached by the time the army
! bill is disposed of so that it may be
/ taken up next. If it is not in shape tC
| be considered by that time the river
/ and harbOr bill probably will receive
attention. The general deficiency is
| likely TO be the last of the appropria-
| ton bills acted upon.
! Conference reports will be made
from time to time during the week
reduction bill. Some of these will ere
ate considera BILE discussion.
1t is not believed that much genera
legislation will be accomplished during
! the week, but a great many private
| bills will be passed. The probabilities
are all against getting up the Nicar-
Eagua canal bill.
The senate will probably sit every
! night of the week.

gerated by national isolation. The
more opportunities nations have
for becoming acquainted the
more they like each other-or dislike
each other less. The increase in free
intercourse between nations is, of
course, doing much to dissipata that
ignorance Of each other which is re-
spOnsi'ole for so much silly interna-
tiOnal bad feeling It is possible that
in course of time. as the Crudity Of our
egotism is softened, we may even take
that delight in each others differences
which comes to a student of character
who is interested in people not as
they resemble himself, but in propor-
ton as they differ from him.
Some day, 7 trust, an Englishman

tons like the British-leaving the polit-
zeal hatred of the Irish out of the ques-
tiOn-if there is not actual hatred, there
is no little inteT-raCial feeling below the
apparent harmony. The old feud be-
tween Scotland and England has, of
course, long since died away. POlit-
iCally the two races are one, their
quarrels are long since forgotten, but
the racial differences which made them
still survive j = a sort Of gOod-natursd
contempt, which finds expression IN
many proverbial jests of one race
against the other. The old racial sus-
piciOn is alive. although its activity is
no longer dangerous. The same applies
to Wales, and the case of Ireland needs
no mention. No act Of union can make
Celt and Saxon anything more than
business partners, and one Of the part
ners, as We know, is only restrained
by force from dissolving the partner
ship.
If this be true of small nations in
timately associated for centuries, how
hopeless it seems to dream Of union
between great nations which have new
CT been thus affiliated, but have been
open rivals and enemies throughout the
course of modern history.
Think of celebrating" France and
Germany!

LAURA CoNaER's ROMANCE.
The Young Officer Who Won Her a
Second Husband.
(San francisco Chronicle.)


Last week, at the home Of the brides
uncle in Chicago, occurred the wedding
of Miss Laura COnger Of Des MOines.
daughter of Edwin H. Conger. minister
TO emma, and Lieutenant Fred l.. Buchan
OF the United States army. The romance
connected with the love and cOurtship
reads like a fairy story Miss COnger
was with her parents last summer dur
ing the horrors of the Chinese outbreak.
while Lieutenant BUchan was an officer
IN the force that raised the siege. He
belongs TO troop X. Third United States
pear was Lieutenant Buchan. He was
very sOhcitOus about the welfare of the
women OF the party, and X was not long
until love SIrang in and discretion was
pushed aside. Mr.. and Mrs. Conger gave
ready consent. The secret WAS careful
ly guarded, however, and the engagement
was not made public until this summer.
Lieutenant BucnaE IS kansan. His
father is W. J. BuChan. a well known
attorney OF Kansas City.
There is a touch of tragedy in the
story of Laura Conger. She was mar
ried once before Her husband was
George LondTum. They lived together
but d short time Separation followed
and afteTWard a divorce. when Mrs. Lon
drum resumed her maiden name. Lon
drum enlisted during the SpanlSn-Amer1-
can war, went to Cuba with his regi-
ment, was wounded and died in
southern hospital
Inc wedding OF MISS OOnger ana Lieu
tenant Buchan ends only one chapter of
a long romance connected with the siegee
of Pekin, for another soldier won a bride
in the same manner as did Lieutenant
Buchan. Lieutenant Hammond, also Of
the Pekin rescue party, is soon TO marry
Miss Mary Pierce, niece of the COngers,
and who was in the legation during the
siege. She met her future husband in
the same manner as did Miss Conger-
The two girls are greatly attached 10 each
other. Miss Pierce acted as bridesmaid
at the recent wedding in Chicago while
Lieutenant Hammond was grOOmsman.

his own image. Between nations the
word foreigner" cTystallizes the sus-
picion which each nation feels of every
other nation, its contempt of national
characteristics different from its own.
These differences are innate and can
no more be talked away than they can
be explained. From them comes that
strange and terrible thing which we
call race hatred. Races hate each
other for one IEason Only-because
they differ from each other. So long
as they differ from each other they will
hate each other.
Race hatred, therefore, seems to me
the one insurmOuntable barrier set by
nature herself against the federation Of
the world. Till the federationists have
settled with that, and that can be done
by the abolition of racial and national
differences, their propaganda is merely
the propaganda of a dream
The abolition of racial and national
differences Look around the world at
the moment and say if the outlook is
promising for such a contamination.
