PENNOYER Is DEAD
Oregons Famous Governora Victim Of
Heart Failure.

Portland, Ore, May 31.-Sylvester
Pennoyer, governor of Oregon from
1886 to 1894, died suddenly this after
noon at his home in this city from
heart failure.
Governor Pennoyer was born in
Thompkins county, New York, July &,
1881. He graduated from Harvard in
1854. He never figured in politics
prominently until his nomination for
governor in 1886, by the Democrats.
His nomination was brought about
chiefly by his bold stand against Chi
nese Immigration. He was elected by
1000 majority, although. the remain
der of the Republican ticket received
nearly 10000 majority. He was re-
elected in 1890 by an increased major
ity, In 1896 he was elected mayor of
this city. He was brought prominent
ly before the country on account of
his refusal to meet President Harrison
at the state line when the latter was
on a visit 10 the Pacific coast He
was again much talked about in 1898,
when he told President Cleveland TO
attend to his own business. The tele-
graphic correspondence between Sec
retary of State Walter @. Gresham
and the governor, which brought forth
the latter's curt reply, is as follows:
Washington, d. c. May 3. 1898.
Governor Sylvester Pennoyer, Salem,
Oregon.
Apparently reliable reports indicate
danger of violence to Chinese when
the exclusion act takes effect and the
president earnestly hopes you will en-
ploy all lawful means for their pro-
lection ia Oregon.

The governors reply was as fol-

Washington, May 31.-Hissing in
the senate is so unusual that when it
occurred in the course of the Philip
pine debate today it created sensa-
tion. Mr.. Spooner, of Winconsin,
was speaking and referred, incident
ally, to the story that a thousand
Filipinos had been put to death by
American troops in trenches which
they were compelled to dig. Mr..
Lodge, of Massachusetts, said the
story had been denied by the father OF
the soldier who had started it, and
that the war department had cabled to
General Chaffee to ascertain the facts.
Mr.. Carmack, OF Tennessee, inter-
rupted to say that no doubt the SOL
diers would deny the story, as all
soldiers in the Philippines had been
required to do. His remark was greet
ed with Kisses from the galleries, the
demonstration of disapprobation call

THE ARMY REDUCED
President Makes Order Cutting To-
790 Men Off List.

Washington, May 3l.-By direction
of the President, Secretary Root mas
issued a general order decreasing the
strength of the permanent military
establishment and changing the ratio
of its makeup, as provided in the
general order issued last May to carry
out the army organization law.
Under the general order of last May
the total strength of the army was
fixed at II, 2S7 men. The order issued
today reduces this figure to &C, 497-a
reduction of 10, 100.
The new order reduces the number
of men to an infantry company from
104 to 80 and our thirty regiments of
twelve companies each will now give
total infantry force of 29,SSO, in
stead of 33, $40.
1t will be the plan Of the war depart
ment hereafter to divide the army, as
provided In the order issued today, in
to thirds, having one third of the en-
tire establishment in the Philippines
at all times and the remaining two
thirds in the United States and else
where.
BY this plan an enlisted man, taking
six years as a basis, would serve four
years in the United States proper, or
in Hawaii, or in Alaska, to every two
years served in the Philippines.

THE RUSSIAN BLOUSE GOWN.

The Russian blouse gown. says the
Washington Evening Star, is the new
est tailor-made costume. Its chief
charm is a certain negligee effect; but,
owing TO the fact that the blouse hangs
loosely, its graceful lines soon become
stretched and distorted. The jacket Is
cut in five pieces, two of which form
the loose, sloping front The back is
fitted to the figure, but it terminates
well above the belt line. The sleeves
are the ordinary tight fitting ones, with
the flare at the wrist. Stitched strap
pings and ornamental applications OF
metal buttons are the only decora-
tons.
Tailors are showing specimens of
fall fabrics. Just at present these are
being made up in yachting costumes
and dresses for touring. Blue blanket
ing cloth, with facings of white en-
broidered in silk is utilized in making
the three-quarter yachting coat. White
braid in twisted motifs further em>
bellishes the garment, which is not
only handsome, but will bear without
becoming shab by any amount of rough
out-of-door service. Serge is, of course,
favored. The Smartest new gowns are
adorned with narrow white braid,
bright buttons and dainty vests of a
contrasting color. White cloth usually
appears in this guise and is artistically
trimmed with tiny gilt buttons. which
outline scrolls and other ornamental
devices.
