OUR MEAT SHUT OUT English Army Wants No More American-Beef. NO PURCHASES AFTER, JUNE AH Stock, Except Home Bred,: Will Be' Excluded" Fjrom the Contracts 'What Packers Say of It. WASHINGTON, ' April 1I. The Depart ment of Agriculture has received a dis patch from a, prominent. packing" company 6f Chicago, announcing that they have just been advised that the English Gov ernment has excluded all beef, except home-bred, from the British Army con tracts. This, It Is stated, Is to be effect lve June 1 pext. The- Chicago concern has asked the Agricultural Department for any assistance it can render. It has' pointed out that the action of the British Government is a severe blow to American' beef and cattle exporters and producers, and means not- alone the loss in Govern ment trade, but it Is feared it will serve very materially toward melting a preju dice on the part of the people, of Great Britain against the beef and cattle of this country. No official confirmation of this reported contemplated move has reached the de partment, according to statements of of ficials. Steps have been taken, however, ' looking to acquiring whatever information it is possible to get. To demonstrate the Importance of the move now said to be contemplated, it is pointed out that the "value of our exports of live animals to Great Britain amounts to $40,000,000, while the total amount of animal products ex ported from the United States to Great Britain is- stated to be, in round numbers,, $200,000,000. It is pointed out here that this proposed embargo may really be a; sequel, In- 'greater: or less degree, to the proceedings instituted at New Orleans against shipments of horses and mules from that port for ubb In the South Af rican' campaign. "While this Is, of course, merely conjectural. It is very strongly hinted that the New Orleans incident probably is the direct inspiration for the step. It is pointed out that If the Eng lish officials really decided to take the action reported in the advices just re ceived, the British might turn to Aus tralia for their meats. It is claimed, however, that meats cannot be gotten there, In as good quantity, quality nor as cheap as In the United States. ADVICES TO CHICAGO PACKERS. Tb.ey Have Jfot Decided, on a Coarse ef Action. - v i2HICGOrAril:Srt?Cfis' the" packlne firm referred to a& having wired the Agricultural Department regaYdihg; the probable action' of 'tlie 'English' Gov ernment excluding alt but home-bred' beef from army contracts. A. H. "Veeder, general counsel for Swift & Co., said .their London representatives cabled to the aboVe effect and they Immediately advised the department at Washington. They .also had cabled London for further Infor mation. Mr. Veeder was inclined to doubt that definite action had been taken, by .the British Government. G. J. Brine, of Armour & Co., said his company had received a cablegram from its London agent stating that "It was rumored" that such action had been taken. Armour, & Co. Immediately tele graphed Secretary of the, Treasury Gage,' asking for Information, but had received no reply. Packers of this city were not disposed thlsjevening to discuss the reported action of the English Government. None of them seemed greatly surprised at the ac tion, and all said that they had declded'on no course of action. "We will wait until we know more about it," said General Manager Meeker, of Ar mour & Co. "There is no earthly cause for such action that I can think of. It cannot be on account of the quality of the beef, as it has always been first class In every respect." v Swift & Co. expressed similar views to those of .Mr. -Meeker. General Manager Lyon, of the Hammond Company, said he did not know enough about, the matter to discuss It, but he did not anticipate that the American packers would be bad ly hurt. CUDAHY NOT ALARMED. " Understands the Restriction Affects the Home Government Alone. OMAHA, April 1L Edward A. Cudahy, head of' the packing-house interests of the Cudahy" Packing Company, was asked to night what he anticipated would be the effect of the decision of the British Gov ernment to'refrain from the use of Ameri can meats by that government. He said he thought the result would not be seri ous. He understands that the restriction affects the home Government alone, and not the colonies, and stated that his com pany is now filling an order for 2,000,000 pounds for the English Government's use in South Africa, part of -which has al ready been shipped. He says the home consumption of- meat by that government is small, and will have little or no conse quence In the packing business. He does not think the people of Great Britain will' be influenced by the action of the government, as American meats are ac cepted by the British without question, and he does not anticipate any damage to American trade. Mr. Cudahy said his company had taken no action in the re ported attempt of packers looking to a modification of the order, and probably would not until the details and facts be came better known. American packers, he said, furnished about 1,000,000 pounds of fresh beef weekly to the English trade, of which but a small portion goes to the army and navy, and he does not believe this supply can be secured from other than American sources. t HEIRS TO FORTUNES. Claimants to the Estates of "Dr. Keattle" and Imbray Clark. LOUISVILLE, April 1L The Courier Journal tomorrow will say: w "Hugh J. Havlland, of Greenville, Ky clairr-ii to be one of the heirs of a fortune left by 'Dr.-"Theodore Keattle,' Tvho dfed at Punta Gorda, Fla., Inl896. Then it was discovered that the 'doctor was a woman, and that fbr.30 years she had masquerad ed as a man. Tlie woman was a mother. Those who are supposed to know say that In 1853 a little boy, was placed In the Prot estant Episcopal" Orphan Asylum at Louisville by 'Dr. Keattle,' then confes sedly a woman, known as Kate Havl- land. The boy's name "was Hugb-'J.'HavI-land. He was later bound-out to,a farm er, and finally rose to an Independent po sition "at Greenville. Hugh J2 Havlland of- Greenville, Ky.,t Is regarded as that boy. That Kate Havlland was 'Dr. KeK,f- tie' was, it Is said, practically, established by witnesses in New York and Brooklyn. But Hugh Havlland Is heir to hut half the fortune. A girl, who. 13 expected -to divide it with him Grace M. Clark Ellt-ott,.-HavHand's niece believes herself sole heiress of Imbray Clark, of Australia, who -died worth $25,000,000. "Hugh Havlland's little sifter, , Kate Havlland's other child according to Law yer Goldwalthe, of New York' vwas put by the mother with foster parents. The girl grew up, married Imbray jClark and went WesfwUh him. In 1877 '.they went to San Francisco, and there a .child was born. Within two weeks the delicate mqther died. The baby was placed in the hands of Mrs. Martha A. Grlswpld, super intendent of the Home for the friendless, by Imbray Clark, who sailed almost Im mediately for Australia. Several years after Mrs. Griswold heard qt 'Clark's death and advertised for, some one to adopt the little orphan girl. The Elliotts responded, and August 21, 1878, were granted papers of adoption oy a court In -San 'Francisco. In 1897 the Elliotts learned that Imbray Clark had left a fortune of 525,000,000, to which there was no heir, and began a fight for their foster, daughter's rights? The estate is tied up in the Eng lish courts, and, though hundreds of claimants have come forwarai none has been able to prove claims to the satisfac tion of the .British authorities.'' t L00MIS HOMEWARD BOUND. Minister to Venezuela Sails From San' Jnan. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico. April 10. The United States auxiliary cruiser ScorpLon arrived here at 5 o'clock thja" evening from La Guayra, "Venezuela, hayfng on board Francis. B. Loomis, the United States Minister to Venezuela. He was noncom mittal 'as to the exact situation, saying he was not recalled, but was simply on leave of absence. Mr1. Loomis said there was no probability of the United States severing diplomatic relations with Venezuela. Mr, Loomis will not report to Washington from here by cable. He left William R. Russell, the Secretary of Legation, Itv charge at Caracas. , t Answering a question oh the subject, Mr. Loomis said he saw no necessity for sending a United States squadron to Venezuelan waters, though he admitted that It was possible this .might be done. Venezuela Is now quiet, ano.there is no apprehension of a revolution. The Min ister said he believed President Castro la capable of handling the situation. He made no direct statement regarding the possibility of trouble between the United States and Venezuela, remarking that he could not talk on the subjeptbefore reach ing Washington, but so far as he knew the entire misunderstanding- "was due to the asphalt controversy, and la his opin ion, months will elapse before it"isettled in the courts. He refused to deny that a certain anti-American rlrig would be glad id Bee him recalled. Mr. Loomis thought there 'Is nothing serious In" the situation. SAN JUAN Porto RIcot April 11.

It was evi dently -his intention to embarrass" the United States Government and force it to make armed demonstrations, such as would possibly lead to trouble vith for eign nations, owing to the large German and British commercial .Interests on the coast. "The Venezuelan Constitutional Con vention elected Castro Provisional Presi dent until Autumn, when there will be an election for an eight-year term. General Andrade will not be President, but his friends are working, and a revolution is possible in the course of a year. He is, .how at Curacoa awaiting developments. "The situation, so far as the United States Government is concerned, has passed the acute point. Such differences as exist can be settled diplomatically. "I scarcely expect to return to Caracas. I have already served four years, and am quite satisfied to bring the experience' to a close." DE YOUNG'S IMPRESSIONS. Americans Are Notv Treated With, More Civility Abroad. NEW YORK, ApriTli. M. H. De Young, of San Francisco, accompanied by Mrs. De Young, returned from London on thd Deutschland today, after a six monthsr trip through France, Italy, Egypt and Germany. "That which struck me most forcibly during my last, visit abroad," said Mri De Young, "was the standing accorded traveling Americans in every country, as compared with the treatment they re ceived a few years ago. The wonderful progress made In our exports and the marvelous development of our industries have Impressed the whole world. Enter a store as an Intending- purchaser and the fact that one is an American seems to settle his financial credit. "Our municipal authorities may well take a lesson from the city fathers of Paris. The expenditures made yearly to maintain its position as the leading and most . beautiful city In the Tvorld can hardly be realized by our people. This year thei city of Paris appropriated JG0, 000,000 for opening new streets and erect ing ornamental improvements. Last year the expenditure even exceeded this sum. Cities must be managed as. one would .a private enterprise. New and attract ive features must constantly be added. The sooner the American people learn to appreciate that works of art and taste ful ornamentation are profitable invest ments for our cities, the more quickly our cities will take their stand with the leading capitals of the old world. "Foreigners admit, almost with distress,, and at least with shame, that America furnishes nearly all their machinery. In England the feeling is especially strong against the encroachment of .our manu facturers and products Into their markets, .throughout tho world." t Work of Vandals. INDIANAPOLIS, Aprir 11.

Resuming; the practice of law, Mr. Cqx, on August 1, 1883, formed a partnership with Wirt Minor, one of his later Portland law part ners. In June. 1S84, he was elected to' the Legislature, as a representative from! Umatilla County, and served at the regu lar and special session of 1885. In January, 18SG, Mr. Cox removed to Portland, and In the Spring of that year, formed with J. N. Teal and Milton W Smith, the law firm of Cox, Smith &-Teal, which continued for about three years On January 1, 18D0, the firm ofCox, Teal & Minor was formed, and in April, 1894, W. W. Cotton joined the firm. 'This partnership was dissolved July 1, 189S. Mr. Cox never eought public pffice. With the exception of the term in the Legislature he never was a candidate. In 1S9G he permitted his name to go on, the Palmer and Buckner Gold Democratic ticket as a nominee for Presidential Elec tor. Mr. Cox was married on June 26 1S90, to Miss Elinor Jackson Junkln, daughter of Rev. Dr. William Junkin, chaplain of Jackson's corps in the Confederate Army, then living at Montclalr, N. J. His wife and three sons survive him. Mr. Cox was recognized as a lawyer of wide learning and ability, forceful and logical as a speaker, methodical in his workr and honorable to all with whom he had dealings. He was second president of the Oregon State Bar Association, in the organization and development of which he was active. In charitable work of all kinds he took great interest, and was one of the firm friends of Good Sa maritan Hospital. Of late years he was active In the formation of the Oregon Historical Society and was one of its di rectors. His last public effort was In behalf ot the Portland exposition of 1905 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Lewis and Clark expedition, and he was one of the incorporators of the fair association. There have been few men In the com munity whose death will be so unlversally mourned. Taken away In the prime of hjs manhood, with a future of usefulness and honor opening up before him, to many the announcement of his death will como as a message of personal loss and( bereavement. As an able lawyer, a good citizen, a kindly, courteous, high-minded gentleman, who lived a pure and honest life, he made his presence felt In the community, and as such the citizens of Portland will mourn his death. DYIXG MAN'S MESSAGE. ' Mr. Cox Wrote a Letter to Be Pub lished After His Death. Some weeks ago Mr. Cox asked for paper and pencil and wrote a farewell message ro ms lnenus. Jie was very (weak at the time, and saldi "That fs very poor, I am afraid; but It Is the best I can do now. Maybe I can change it when T am stronger." It was- suggested that a number of copies be made and sent to friends, to which he made reply: "No, that is not what I want. I do not want it to reach just those- friends who have been tto inquire for me or send me flow ers, l?ut to- all of my acquaintances In everynwallc.1 of life. I want It published, with my funeral notice or mention of my death in The -Oregonian." This Is Mr. Cox's message;.. To My. Friends? A IRtle more than.21 years ago 1 came todregon, without acquaintances, without experience In" my profession and wltb- out means. I am now lylns on a .sick bed, of which death can be ' the- onljr termination. During these Intervenlns weeks and days there has come to me one unvarying story o love and sympathy from every walk In life -and every stage of acquaintanceship. So nweet a spirit ot peace and joy has filled my room that 1 cannot bo without glvlns sqme feehle expres sion to It. I am overwhelmed with the hu-. man' sympathy which has reached out to me from so many different directions: but I must take It only as a manifestation of an Inex haustible well-sprlnc of love which caa re fresh and Inspire the whole world. Let me pray that not to me only, but to all others; your,'lovlns tenderness may be shown; not to those In sickness only, but as well to -those In health. Give a helping hand and a word of comfort and hope to your struggling brother; clear his path of difficulties, rather than beset It with obstructions: help him to be a better man and by so doing you will help yourselves to be better men. It cannot be that all the love you have shown me comes from perishable life: I cannot ba- -Hve that It will pass away with my conscious ness and be lost. We shall meet again In a land where love will reign supreme, and where In eternal sunahlno all clouds wilt have passed away. ' ' L. B. COX. ATTACKED BY CATHOLICS. Educational Legislation Threatens Parochial School System. CHICAGO. April 11. Educational legis- e . ;',vr i. tf-tt'ff latipn'Cfn - the '.United States .was', attacked today in the Roman Catliollc educational congress as being partial- and prejudicial to' the , rights of , individuals and. of re ilglpus Institutions, The paper on "Edu cational Legislation in the United States," which brought. out the. discussion, was 'read' by Rev. James P. Fagln, S. J., vice- president of Georgetown University. Pjro fessor E. J. Ryan, A. M of Mount St. Mary's College, Emmettsburg, Md read a paper on "Teaching of English In Col lege," in which he urged for the purity and thoroughness of the language. Con sideration of technical subjects made up the rest of the day's programme. Speakers at the afternoon session de clared that modern educational legislation threatened the life of the parochial school system. All this class of legislative action, they said, seriously discriminated against church schools and every other system of education which seeks to combine re ligious, training with learning. It was argued that under existing conditions Catholics "were compelled to pay taxes for the support of public schools which their children do not attend. It was In sisted that .the State should recognize Catholic schools "on the same basis with other educational Institutions to which financial assistance Is given. Monslgnor Conaty said: "We are not here by suffrance, but we are here as American citizens demanding our .rights. We are not asking for fa vor; all we want is justice. We want recognition as citizens and taxpayers' in school affairs. We believe that no true education Is possible without religious In struction, and we have a Tight to insist upon our demands. There is no doubt that nearly all the educational laws en acted by the states are aimed at the Catholic school system. It is our duty both to ourselves and our people to pro test and continue protesting until our objections are heeded." Father Dowllng, of the Omaha Univer sity, expressed fear that Catholics had In the past not kept In close touch with the Improved methods advocated by non sectarian institutions. They failed to pre sent their arguments to the inas3 of the people by means of the newspaper, the magazine and other publications. At WashInfrton's"Tomb. WASHINGTON. April ILThere was a touching scene at Mount Vernon today, when M. Carabcn, the French Ambassa dor, accompanied by the officers of the French training-ship Duguay Trouln and otfier distinguished guest3, placed a wreath of flowers on the tomb of Wash ington. After the brief ceremony at the tomb the guests spent some time In look ing at the main objects of Interest In the mansion which Washington occupied while a resident of Mount Vernon, and In straying around th spacious grounds. ' a Texas Oil Is Not So Bad. LIMA, O., April 11. Tests made In re fining Texas crude oil at the Standard Oil refinery here show the product ot tho Beaumont field to be of much higher grade than heretofore estimated. That the oil market must In the future reckon with the Beauntont output as a factor Is now coming to be recognized. The recent decline In both the Pennsylvania and Lima markets is attributed to the strike In the Beaumont field. t Condition of Apostle Cannon. MONTEREY, Cal. April 1L George Q. Cannon slept several hours today, and Is resting easy tonight. Dr. CHft stated to night that Mr. Cannon's condition was truly perplexing, although most critical., In view of the extreme age of the pa tient, his death could, be hourly expected but he. did, not, care to say that his con-, dltlon was absolutely hopeless. Kin? Otto Is 111. BERLIN, April 11. Klnsr Otto, of Ba varia, has again suffered from severe hemorrhages of the kidneys and violent spasms." a EXPOSITION" NOT Striking Features of the New Ten-Dollar Bill. LEVIS AND CLARK MEMORIAL While It May Be Said to Advertise Three Exhibitions, Portland Certainly Has the Bestofllt. WASHINGTON. April 11. The new United States legal tender note recently authorized by the Treasury Department, may well he called the "exposition note." It3 popularity Is said" to be commemora tive of three different expositions, al though none has a better claim than the Portland exposition of 1903. The strik ing feature of the face of the new note 1 the vignette of a buffalo, which occupies the center, and Is slightly larger than the Indians on the new ?5 note. On one side of the buffalo Is a smaller vignette of Lewis, and on the opposite side a vignette of Clark. The buffalo gives rise to the story that the new note was gotten out in commemoration of the Pan-American Exposition. The St. Louis papers, on the theory that the buffalo formerly ranged in most of the states of the Louisiana pur chase. Immediately set up the claim that the note was Issued In honor of their ap proaching exposition. The portraits, pf Lewis and Clark give Portland the same fight to claim that the note Is commemor ative of the exposition of 1905. The claim of Portland is better founded than either of the others. It has been tho desire of the Treasury Department to have each denomination dCGovemment notes bear some distinguishing- mark on Its face, which will be prominent above all else. As the Indian does on the new $3 note, It was thought the buffalo would readily identify the new tens. Besides being a purely American figure, no thought whatever was given to the Buf falo exposition. The claim of St. Loul3 Is very far-fetched. Tlie agitation of the Lewis and Clark exposition had reached, the ears of de partment officials, and in casting about for two allied prominent Americans, these explorers were recalled. Furthermore, this being- an era of expansion, It was thought all the more appropriate that two men who added such a vast and rieh ter ritory to the United States might now be properly and fittingly remembered and for these reasons the portraits of Lewis and Clark were selected to adorn the new 510 notes. However, the department la gratified to know that It3 choice answers the purpose of simultaneously honoring three different expositions. Because of the distinctive Western tone of the new note, a heavy demand Is expected In that section. The adopted design, after belng iphotosraphed, was turned over to the en gravers today and the plates will be pre pared, as rapidly as possible, although the notes will not be ready to go Into cir culation for about six months. TRIAL OF RIPLEY. Defendant Will Corroborate ex-Govern or Bradley's Testimony. FRANKFORT, Ky. April 11. The tes timony in the case of Garnett Ripley brought out nothing: sensational today. Judge W. H. Yost testified, corroborat ing the evidence given by ex-Governor W. O. Bradley yesterday. It is said at the close of the evidence for the prose cution the defendant will go on the stand himself and still further corroborate Bradley and Yost, and make other equally sensational statements. W. H. Culton and Banker John A. Black, of Barbours vllle, were among- the witnesses thl3 after noon, and gave over again testimony they have given on former trials. Woolson-Arbnckle Litigation. COLUMBUS, O., April 1L A number of motions in the Woolson-Arbuckle coffee litigation were argued in the Supreme' Court today. There was a motion, to ad vance the case ot the Woolson Spice Com pany vs. John Arbuckle et al., and one to consolidate two cases on the general docket, also a motion to advance the case of Fred M. Bingham, manager of the Woolsons, against the state. The motions were argued by Judge J. L. Doyle, of To ledo, and W. O. Henderson, of Columbus. Unless the cases are advanced, they may not come to a decision for several years. SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT NEWS' Foreign. The British "War Office puts a ban on American beef. Pago 1.
