Valley.

Valley.
Walla Walla, Wash, June ga
vast horde of species of caterpillar,
probably the genuine army worm, is
marching across Walla Walla valley,
the vanguard of the host being tonight
not over three miles northeast OF this
city. The worms appear to be march
ing in a solid column between 100 and
200 yards wide and two or three miles
long.
AS the present trend of the horde
is eastward, the worms will miss Walla
Walla.
No effect is noticeable on the crops
SO far, though the caterpillars are
doubtless living on them. Some irri-
eating bitches leading out of Dry
creek were crowded with them. The
origin Of the worms is unknown, thugh
there are millions of them. B. F.
Engle, a pioneer, says that he saw
similar visitation 20 years ago in Ma
rion county, Willamette valley, where
the only harm done was to gardens.
1t is the first time such visitation
has been experienced here.

Has CONFIDENCE IN PAYNE.
Senator Hanna Says President Roose-
Welt Is Satisfied.


Senator Hanna Says President Roose-
Welt Is Satisfied.
THE president has absolute conf
dence in Postmaster General Payne
and has no thought that he will leave
the cabinet" said Senator Hanna re-
Gently, after quite an extended visit
to the White House. He added:
The president is satisfied with the
work Mr.. Payne is doing, and appre-
ciates his integrity and executive abil-
ity. Mr.. Payne has no thought of re-
signing, but II he did his resignation
would not be accepted by the presi-
dent"
Senator Hanna said that it was un-
fortunate that Mr.. Paype's health was
SO poor that he could not go away and
recuperate, because his presence is
needed in Washington at this time in
the investigation of widespread post
office scandals.
In this connection 1t can be stated
authoritatively that the reports that
Postmaster General Payne contem-
plates retiring from the cabinet are
untrue. 1t is well known that his
health is not good, and there is, Of
course, possibility that he might suf-
fer a complete breakdown or that he
might be forced by the imperative or
ders of his physician to give up his
work. But at this time the idea of
retirement is not entertained by him.
He has planned out his future work in
connection with the investigation Of
his department and is anxious to finish
it. The president, it is said, has given
expression to his own feelings in the
matter by saying that he would permit
him to resign only in the event that
it became matter Of life and death.

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report says: Crop and
labor conditions present some irregu-
larities, but six months trade returns
point to the fact that business has been
better than year ago and the situa-
ton as a whole shows favorable fea-
lures predominating as to the future.
The feeling is that as time passes the
latter will largely outweigh the few
notable drawbacks to possible future
activity. Unreasonable weather and
dull retail trade accentuates the usual
quietness in. wholesale business and
retards crop development.
The iron and steel situation on the
whole seems to have improved slight
ly. Large contracts have been made
for rails by leading trunk lines and
central western roads. The condition
of other finished products is better,
and even in cruder forms the feeling
is fairly firm except for foundry pig
iron. The railroad earnings are bet
ter than was earlier expected, despite
food Interruptions in the first part Of
the month, and returns for the first
week of June show a gain of 8 per
cent over year ago. while those for
the second and third week indicate
increases of 10 to IL per cent in ex-
cess of last year.
Wool is firmer, largely in sympathy
with primary markets where the. new
clip is being taken freely at advanc-
ing prices.
Hides are frmer at Boston.
Sugar is steady and unchanged.

THE ADJOURNMENT
Of the Special Session Is Yet an Un-
- known Date,

Washington. Nov. 23.-While no
proposition has been submitted to the
House of Representatives from the
Senate looking to an early adjournment
OF the extra session of Congress. this
matter was the subject of several con-
ferences, today. between leaders of the
House and, Speaker Cannon. There
was but one sentiment expressed an.l
that was that adjournment ought not
to be taken until the Cuban measure
was finally disposed of, or the extra
session lapsed into the regular session.
with this View of the case. the tenta-
tive program of the House will be to
adjourn for three days at a time. 1t
Is well known that there is not a quo
rum of the House at present in Wash
lngton and should the point of mo
quorum be raised at any sessions of
the House. adjournment could only be
made for single day under the rules.
Some criticism is expressed by the
House leaders regarding the published
program of the Senate to take a vote
on the Cuban bill on Dec. 16. and adj
lourn the present session within a few
days. 1t is declared to be a reflection
on the PRESIDENT, who assembled the
Congress in extra session and emDha-
sized the necessity of immediate action
on the Cuban Question.
The House occupied but nine DAYS of
the session in passing the bill and
members OF the House can see no rea-

committee on militia affairs held brief
session, today, to continue the investi-
CATION of charges against General
Leonard Wood in opposition to his con-
firmation as major general.
Captain w. J. Barden, of the Artill-
cry Corps, United States Army, who
was engineer officer in charge Of street
improvements at Havana during Gen.
Woods administration as governor of
Cuba, was the only witness heard. The
committee adjourned to meet again, at
II o'clock, Friday.
Capt. Barden's testimony had no i'm
portant bearing on the charge against
Gen. Wood. He was summoned at the
request of Senator Foraker and is un-
derstood to be one of the officers Gen.
Wood is said to have asked to have
called to refute charges which Major
Rathbone had indicated he would bring
