WASHINGTON NEWS.

The leaders of the Democratic
party are looking forward, not with
apprehension, but with pleasurable
anticipation, to Judge Parker's let
ter of acceptance. A ringing letter
of acceptance, able and conserva-
tive, would strike a popular chord
and give his campaign further
impetus. More may hinge on what
that letter says and how it IS said
than on any amount of the thou
sand of documents that may APP
pear in the campaign. That letter
will decide many men now waver-
ing between the two candidates and
the chances are that it will bring
them to the support of Judge Par
ker, and the democracy. The
south is enthusiastic for Judge
Parker and would be SO if there
were but one issue in the campaign.
To them, the all-absorbing and
over-powering issue is the negro
question and they are anxious for
the defeat of Roosevelt on account
of that Issue. if for no other reason.
"A recent communication TO the
Washington Post by negro nam
ed Henry S. Baker serves to &C
centuate the negro issue more than
anything that has lately appeared.
In that communication, he calls at
tention to the difference between
the Republican and Democratic
national conventions. He says
that at the Republican convention
the colored man was treated as a
companion, friend, and brother;
that there he was made to feel as
though he were not only political,
but social equal; that the delegates
followed the advice and example
of President Roosevelt, who teaches
that the colored man deserves to
be treated as a social equal He
says that to emphasize this fact,
he had the courage to have at his
table. Prof. Booker 7. Washing
ton, and that, if Roosevelt is elect
ed, it will so encourage the negro
men that they will demand that
Booker Washington shall be the
Republican candidate for Vice
President in 1908. He calls atten-
ton to the scene in the Republican
convention, when beautiful white
girl was placed upon the stage and
by her side a negro boy, and that
they led the cheering, thus making
an example of the equality of the
races. He then points out that the
Democratic convention was white
man 5 convention, of white man S
party, and that in it, there was not
a single negro man. Talk like that
will do more to make the race
question one of the leading issues
of this campaign than anything else
that could be suggested. There are
many doubtful states in the north
that will give to the Democrats
sufficient Republican votes upon
the negro question alone to send
them into the Democratic column.
The chances are therefore that the
Democrats will force this issue
whenever they can.
OF course, every man who at
tended the great Democratic Con-
vention in ST. Louis took in the
latest and greatest of all the world 5
expositions ever held. The great
St. Louis Expositions in its en-
tirety can not be described. 1t has
to be seen to be appreciated. 1t IS
not only larger and greater III area,
but the buildings are more beauti-
ful in design and finish, and the

HERE'S a DOG STORY FOR YOU
Narrative Goes That Deerhound Dis.
covered Great Quartz Ledge.


1t was the contrary antics of COM
mon cults sort Of deerhound that
caused 1S-year-old Harry Briggs to
make the recent rich discovery on
Grayback mountain in Josephine coun-
ty. In fact, the dog really kicked up
the earth that brought to light the
quartz stringer streaked with gold, and
has since developed into a four-foot
,, ledge with 100000 in sight.
This is the story told by prominent
mining man from that section now in
Portland, and he received the infor-
nation from the sister-in-law of
young Briggs. Deer have been hunted
so long in the mountains of southern
oregon that they have become wild
and wary, and popular way is to
put hound on fresh tracks and chase
the deer along its regular trail while
the hunter lies in ambush to shoot it.
EARLY in the morning young Briggs
left his Sucker creek home and went
10 or IL miles back into the mountains
among the Grayback peaks. He was
accompanied by the family dog, a
deerhound that had been in service for
many years. In a brushy spot COW
cred with leaves, fresh tracks and deer
sign were found, but the dog was con-
trary and would not follow the scent,
The young master became angry and
severely chastised the dog with a
stick, and in the scuffie the dog
scratched up the leaves and earth and
brought to view chunk of quartz
When Harry Briggs picked up the
piece OF rock it was discovered to be
fairly lined with gold. Further in

LOST CABIN" NINE FOUND.
Rich Gold Strike, Thought 10 he o Myth,
Discovered In California.

RENO, New, Oct. 23.-After q scar oh
extending for nearly fifty years resulting
In the sacrifice Of several lives and several
fortunes, the Lost Cabin" mine In Modoo
county, Cal, has been discovered at last.
The find was made by F. @. Hess, an old
resident Of Candy, who arrived at Alturas
this week, carrying with him some virgin
gold with samples Of ore from the mine.
The lode. he says, consists Of . vein eight
feet across and practically on the surface
Of the ground. 1t Is eleven miles north Of
Altura' In almost inaccessible mountains.
The remnants Of Lost Cabin are still
In evidence.
The cabin was made OF logs plastered
with mud. The cooking utensils OF the old
prospector who made the discovery were
also found, The Lost Cabin for many
years had been considered myth, though
many attempts were made to find It,
Nearly fifty years ago, when the Modoc
Indians were hostile, an old prospector
hobbled into q settlement one day and dis
played quantity OF gold, announcing that
he had found a mine OF untold richness
and had built cabin on it.
With part of the gold he purchased pro-
visions and left. Two men followed him,
but he eluded them. From that day to
this the prospector has not been seen, al
though the story had never been orgotten
and Hess's find seems to show that it was
founded on fact.

The flames started under the main deck

All three boats reached the Hustler

CASSINI EXPRESSES REGRET.
Calls II Deplorabie Mistake and Suggests
One Explanation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Few officials OF
the Government know tonight OF the
attack by the Russian Baltic fleet on the
Hull fishing boats, but those who read the
press dispatches expressed amazement
over this startling initiation Of its voyage
to the Far East. One OF the closest OF
the Presidents advisers, after stating that
no official information on the subject had
been received, expressed the opinion that
the accounts OF the affair had been exag-
gerated and he was not therefore pre-
pared to believe that 1t was as serious az
the circumstances seemed to indicate.
Count Cassini, the Russian Ambassador.
expressed great regret over the incident.
Fear OF an attack by submarine torpedo
boats on the Baltic feet had been held in
Russia said the Ambassador and the FIR
ing on the British fishing vessels might
have been the result of extreme precaution
on the part OF Admiral Rojestvensky.
II these reports were true. deplorable
mist AXE had been committed. He added
that his idea was that the fishing vessels
had been ordered to stop but had mis-
understo God, or for some other reason con-
tinued 10 approach the russian heet' WHICH
thereupon fired.
II is too early yet for officials here to
give any carefully weighed opinions con-
corning the affair, and there is disposition
among them to suspend Judgment until
official advices giving fuller details have
been received. There is general feeling
however, that the affair may develop into
a serious international issue, but should the
Russian explanation be such as to SHOW
only that colossal blunder was oommitssd

found.
