PRINCESS FOR THE KAIsER's Son.
Crown Prince Frederick's visit to En-
peror William is expected to result in
the betrothal of one of the Emperor's
sons. Amicable relations between Den
mark and Germany ceased 9S years ago,
when the latter wrested from the former
schIeswig and Holstein. 1t is supposed
that Denmark seeks to ally herself with
her ancient enemy. If Denmark can do
that she will be able to largely cut down
her military expenses, for now she
spends a great part of her revenues to
keep up her soldiery along the German
frontier. OF the Danish Crown Prince
four daughters two are unmarried.
Princess Thyra, % years old, and Prin-
cess Dagmar, who is in her 18th year.

AT THE dedication in New York yes
terday of the new building of the Cham
Der of Commerce, Mr.. Cleveland made a
speech in which he went out of his way
to insult the people of the entire South
bv saving ono associated body Of our
citizens felt more deeply and effectively
the throbbing of patriotism and devotion
to country when our government was
threatened by armed rebellion" Now,
the s'war of the rebellion" as some OF
the northern people still delight in call
ing that struggle, has been over fornear-
" forty years, and the dedication OF a
commerce building in New York yester-
terday had no possible connection with
the war; so the ex-Presidents remarks
in this respect were both irrelevant and
unnecessary. The war of 1S61-65 was not
one of ssrebellion," as the United States
government was forced to admit when it
abandoned its case against Mr. Jefferson
Davis, but majority of people of the
North like to hear the South traduced, and
Mr.. Cleveland but played upon a chord
which he knew would evoke applause.
Mr.. Cleveland was twice elected Presi-
dent by the votes of southern people and
his earned rebellion" remarks of yester-
day but show his glaring ingratitude.

OF for a Bear Hunt.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 12.-When Presi-
dent Roosevelt rose this morning shortly
before eight o clock his train was hurry
ing through the iron district of Penn
sylyania. The President during the
day will clean up all his official work,
so that tomorrow and for four days sue
ceeding he may devote his entire at
tention to the bears and panthers that
are lurking in the Mississippi cane
brakes. The President desires to keep
his exact destination secret for the
present. 1t may be said that his camp
will be pitched about 100 miles from
Memphis. If the location of his hunt
ing grounds were made public, the
President fears, excursions would be
run I'D on his trail and what bears there
are in that section might be scared
away. The train will proceed south
for three or four hours and, at its desti-
nation, will be run upon a siding to re-
main until the return trip is begun on
the morning of the 10th. AT the final
stopping place in Mississippi, Mr.. Fish 5
guide will meet the party and escort the
hunters to the hunting grounds. The
presidential hunting party will be
limited to President Roosevelt, Mr..
Fish. DIR. Lung, the Presidents ply
stefan; and the guide. Tents will be
carried by the party and two or three
nights will probably be spent in the
woods.

THE CUBAN government has very
properly made formal objection to the
transfer toe. w. F. Neely-convicted of
embezzling Cuban postal funds-of the
Sc, 900 taken from him at the time of
his arrest. Nicely was pardoned under
the Cuban general amnesty act which
marked the Inauguration of the new
republic. The case is now before the
United States court for the southern
district Of New York. Cuban Minister
Quesada says that while the criminal
case against Nicely has been dismissed
the civil case has not, and pending the
settlement of the latter case the Cuban
government naturally objects to his
getting the money which he stole and
which he now claims. The funds are
in the custody of the Secretary of War,
and he has decided to hold them until
the question of ownership has been
legally determined. The claim of Nicely
is probably as monumental piece of
cool impudence as was ever heard of.

BLOWN UP BY GAs.-An explosion OF
Illuminating gas in the cellar of seven
story double tenement, on Avenue Z,
New York, yesterday afternoon, wrecked
store on the ground floor and injured
80 persons, several being severely hurt.
Among the injured were IA firemen and
policeman. The explosion followed a
slight fire, caused, it is said, by a
plumber who was working in the cellar.
When the fremen, entered the cellar,
it was found to be charged with gas
from melted lead connection. A
moment later an explosion occurred,
enveloping the men in flames and blow
ing out the front of the store overhead.
A shower of debris was hurled into the
crowd watching the fire, and many were
struck with fragments of glass and
splintered wood. About 20 persons were
taken to the hospital. The firemen who
were in the cellar succeeded in making
their escape, all suffering more or less
from burns and cuts. The damage by
the fire and explosion was slight.
New York, Nov. 12.-The 30 or
more victims of the gas explosion were
reported to be all doing well this morn
ing. Many of those who were cut by
flying glass, went Immediately to their
homes, so that the police have been
unable to get correct list. One death
resulted indirectly from the accident.
Mrs. Rachel Rosenberg, living near,
started down stairs, after the explosion,
fell breaking her leg, and later died.
She was "a years old. Joseph Schwartz,
plumber, was in Essex Market Court
this morning, charged with having a
lighted candle in the cellar which caused
the explosion. He was held.

THE acquittal of Roland B. Molineux
in New York yesterday, on the charge of
the murder of Mrs. Adams, shows the
uncertainty of jury trials and the incon-
sistency of the human mind. -Four years
ago jury convicted him and the gener-
al opinion was that Molineux was a
guilty man. Yesterday the jury was
ready to give its verdict of acquittal in
ten minutes, and evidently had not the
slightest difficulty in deciding that the
prosecution had made out no case. Mrs.
Adams died on December %, 1898, and
Molineux was arrested on February 81,
1899, and has been in prison over three
years and eight months. The State has
spent more than 5000, 900 in prosecuting
him, and his father has spent fortune
in his defence. Four years of the man S
life have been spent in prison, and many
of those who formerly believed in his
guilt are now the most outspoken in
their conviction of his innocence. The
management of the case for the defence
was a great triumph of professional skill.

Council Proceedings.

The common council met in regular
session at the council chambers, Mon
day night. Present-Mayor Brosius.
Councilmen Blowers, Clarke, III. F.
Davidson, 2. s. Davidson, Mcdonald
Rand; Marshal Dukes.
The water question came up once
more. The first reading of the new
ordinance granting the Hood River
Spring Water company the right to Law
pipes and mains in the streets of the
town for the purpose of furnishing fire
protection provoked a spirited debate and
the old straw was again threshed and
failed Considerable dust and chaff
was gathered in and the formality of
passing an ordinance over its first read
ing was gone through with.
The proposed ordinance presented by
the Hood River Spring Water company
is practically the same as the ordinance
passed several weeks ago, excepting
the clause holding the water company
responsible for its acceptance by the
board of underwriters. After the re-
corder had finished reading the same,
Z. ). Davidson spoke IN opposition to
its acceptance by the council, claiming
that as the ordinance stood the city had
no assurance or guarantee that the
board OF underwriters would reduce in
surance rates after the proposed fire
protection plant was installed. He
wanted the water company to be re-
sponsible for certain definite water
pressure at all the hydrants, and a
guarantee that the system would bring
reduced rates.
H. +. Davidson was anxious that the
town should secure fire protection as
soon as possible. He said the Portland
board Of underwriters had informed him
that unless Hood River secured fire
protection very soon an increase of so per
cent in insurance rates would be made
on all exposures. He also showed that
with the elevation OF the proposed res
ervoir there would be sufficient pres
3ure at all the hydrants. ''The board OF
underwriters have assured me" said Mr..
Davidson, "that il a fire protection
system is put in after the manner des-
cribed i'm the ordinance before us that
an immediate reduction of 25 per cent
will be made in our insurance rates..
p. 5. Davidson again took the floor
and reiterated his former statement.
ID. Mcdonald thought the rates for
water should be commensurate with the
d city's finances.
= Councilman A. s. Blowers took up
the discussion in behalf Of the water
company. He showed that the ordi-
nance prohibited the raising of water
rates at any time. As to giving bonds
for what the board OF underwriters
would do. he challenged anyone TO find
a business man taking up such a propo-
sition. The board Of underwriters die
tated the size Of the mains and II the
system when finished did not pass in
spection under the wording Of the ordi-
nance the water company could not
collect pay for the same. He was will
ing that the company should give bonds
TO put in the sytem according 10 the
demands of the ordinance. -
Mcdonald did not think the talk was
sincere aud claimed that there was
discrepancy in the matter of mains.
P. s. Davidson wanted to know how
many pounds pressure there would be
ct each hydrsnt, and thought the water

Boy knew His RnSinesS.

A man wandered into Third
street bOokblack stand yesterday and
called loudly for shine" remarks the
Portland Oregonian. "a youth about
minute old aud an inch high
emerged, apparently, from under the
chair, and commenced operations. The
man watched him curiously for while
and then relapsed into contemplation.
After his shoes had been shined to his
satisfaction he called the proprietor
aside and demonstrated with him /:
You oughtn't to work kid like that,
he said warmly. It's shame The
proprietor informed him that the boy
was indispensable, i pay him $50 a
month, he said, and | have had to
raise his wages twice because he threat
ened to quit. He gets more than any
other man at the stand, and YOU can
see for yourself that he knows his busi-
ness The man had to acknowledge
the boy's proficiency, and went away
wondering whether he could not make
his own business as protitable.n

Jim EangiIIe Returns.

Jim Langille returned Saturday night
from three weeks prospecting trip in
the recesses of the Cascades between
Mount Adams and the Cowlitz river to
the north. He went in by way of Mount
Adams and returned down the Cowlitz
10 Winlock on the Northern Pacific.
Jim says his party brought out what
ought to prove good pay rock, but the
region from which Ii eahe is almost in.
accessible. The country to the north
OF Mount Adams is about as rough a
region as one could find, The mountains
are barren and rocky, and thousands of
feet high, with CANYONS a mile deep.
Jim says that the thunderstorm OF
about two weeks ago was particularly
severe near his camp. Lightning came
down in solid bolts, and while swapping
thick and fast around him, pine tree
near by was struck and set on fire by the
lightning. The flames the next minute
were leaping l50 feet in the air. A

Pay Rock in the skamanla Mines.

The Rock creek mining district in
Skamania county, Wash, is presenting
some very fattering prospects. j. G.
Snyder came up from Stevenson, Mon
day night, and was displaying samples
of ore taken from free-milling ledge
on his mine, near the head Of Rock
creek, about 20 miles northwest of
Stevenson. This ore was taken from q
"a foot ledge with % feet OF pay ore on
the surface exposure. A 20 foot tunnel
has been constructed into the mountain
side, striking the ledge about 40 feet
deep. Last year the ore from this
mine produced an assay Of $1,000 worth
of free gold. The ledge is getting richer
the furtherit is opened, and it is now
estimated that the ore will go $25 to
the ton.
Interested with Mr.. Snyder in this
mine are G. L. Rogers, Thomas Clarke
and E. T, Winans. The company has
received a hattering offer for the claim.
Mr.. Snyder has had considerable ex-
perience in the Montana mines and
thinks the Rock creek ledge is good
thing He will endeavor to-eet capital
interested in the mine and speaks of
putting in stamp mill next summer.
He is satisfied that the Rock creek ledge
borders upon one OF the best and richest
mining districts in the country. 81
