TWO GOOD LAWS.

The legislature of the State OF New

passed two laws of unusual Importance:
laws which are well worthy of bciuo

or owning deadly weapons without due
authority of law and need shown. Ac.

must be recorded giving date, To whom

hrst of all, there must be a license TO
purchase, and transfers must be nv nor.

law than the usual law against the ,raf.

THE GREAT OREGON"

There is a general consensus of opiu
ion throughout the country to the ef
feet that when the Panama canal j.
opened, the first ship to pass through
should be the old battleship "oreeon,
which made such magnificent voyage
from the west coast around Cape Horn
10 the east coast. at the time OF the
outbreak OF the Spanish American war
II would be most fit and appropriate
for that grand old ship 10 lead the
procession OF endless shipping through
that canal. First of all, the Oregon as
battleship would typify a great his
toric' event; and also the protec-
tive power OF the navy as 20 the ma

this view spur Congress on TO do some.
thing TO reinstate the American mer-
chant marine, aud make that marine
worthy Of protection and so great that
Americans would be as proud of it as
they arc now humiliated when they
consider its meagerness compared with
the shipping Of even the third and
fourth-rate powers.
The sentiment which bonors the
great voyage of the Oregon, and which
must perpetuate the memory of it for
ever, has led the State of Oregon to
put "A tablet in its capitol. over the
fgurehesd of the battleship "Oregon !"
which was at her front in that great
voyage; this fgurehesd having been
presented TO the State by the Navy
Department. On the tablet is the fol

When war was declared between the
United States and Spain the hAttleship
Oregon was ordered from San Francisco
TO join the Atlantic fleet under Admiral
Sampson AT Havana. This was before
the days of the wireless telegraph. and
throughout the country great anxiety WAS
'elt for tho safety Of the warship after
Il left the Pacific coast.
