THE MOKNl&G OBEGONIAK, FRIDAY, KOVE&IBEB 22,. 1901'. CONSPIRACYISCONHRMED MORE EVIDENCE THAT REBELLION WAS PLANNED ON YUKON. Information Obtained From Han "Who Has KnoTrledsre of the Or der of the Midnight San. SEATTLE, Nov. 2L The Evening Times of Seattle publishes In today's issue a etory whichMs offered 28 confirmation of stbrjr published In the San Francisco. Call to the effect that a conspiracy had been planned covering the entire Northwestern Territory for the overthrow of Canadian rule, and the establishment of an inde pendent republic The Times, in Its article, lays great stress on the stpry obtained from Fred Clark, formerly a stage Manager In this city, but -who has been In the Yukon for some time. In which he admits a knowl edge of the Order of the Midnight Sun, which is supposed to have been organized for the sole purpose -of the rebellion. It Is said that the order was originally In stituted in .strict secrecy In Dawson in December of 1900, and from there spread along the length of the Upper Tukon, with branches as Jar as Circle City on one hand and to Skagway and Atlln in- the other direction. It la 'also zaid that men came to Seattle In the Interests of the uprising and solicited support la the way of financial contributions. The Times says no arms were bought. The total membership of the Order of the Midnight Sun is placed at 15C0, although the mem bers confidently expected outside assist ance that would bring the" total army of Insurrection to almost 5050. The Times says that In the early days of the organization a circular was Issued and secretly distributed to disaffected min ers on the Upper Tnkon, in which 19 different clauses were given as being reasons for an uprising. These dealt with defective mining laws, corruption of offi cials, royalty, liquor traffic and gambling, delays in the courts, British Columbia alien act, duties, miners' and loggers' licenses, recording fees and boundary dis putes. A similar circular was handed to business men of Skagway, In which they were solicited to add financial support to the enterprise, and for a time Clark made his headquarters at the latter place, con ducting Na Junta In the interests of the order. The plotters, according to the Times, anticipated no trouble in getting together men enough to overpower the mounted police at different towns of tl2 interior. The raid was to be started on the border line, and as fast as a town was overpow ered a revolutionary govcrnment''was to be installed. Local officials were to be s-clzod and held as hostages. The raid was to be started Immediately after the close of navigation, and the telegraph lines to Dawson were to be cut in a dozen places. The leaders are said to have be lieved that the Canadian Government would be months in getting In men, and that at least It would have been compelled to make terms with Uv; Insurgents before they laid down their arms. The con spiracy is said to be dead, owing to the publication of Its secrets. Connlracy Discovered In Bawon. VICTORIA, B. a, Nov. 21.-James Bcdy, of the secret service of the Yukon Territory, who Is here, says the conspir acy formed in Dawson Was discovered by the police there in September. It was an organization known as the "Order of ahe Midnight Sun," founded at Dawson by some American Fenians, and a branch was formed at Skagway, but the order did not extend south. The plans were for the conspirators In Dawson to rljce when the word was given, after the Yu kon had become unfit for travel, seise the barracks: of the Northwest Mounted Po lice, while their Skagway confreres, after cutting the wires, were to surprise the roaunted police patrols along the river. There are about SO mounted police scat tered through the district and as there are few in Dawson, the scheme wa thought to be feasible. The papers of the association were seized at Skagway, but the seizure being made in United States territory, are held by the Ameri can officers. The secretary of thb otder has fled to Seattle.

It was only by the most careful search ing that many of tho survivors were lo cated. The work of clearing away the debris' of the burned buildings and re pairing the tratnway has already begun, but it is said that, It will be some time before the mine can be reopened.

The mouth of Bullion Tunnel througn which the SmugglerUnon mines are worked is located not over 60. or 60 feet from the burned buildings. The smoke from the start seemed to be drawn to (he mouth of the tunnel, and It encircled that point as if there were np other place- of escape.

The renewed attention to trade conditions between the tJhited -States and the American countries lylhK south of her borders, due ih part to the meeting of the Pah-American Con gress at tho.'City of Mexico, lends 'special Interest to a statement by a Brit ish ofliclal in Mexico, Consul Blorkluhd, which has jtlst reached tho Treasury Bu reau of Statistic. That officer calls at tention sharply to the fact that In tho one American country at the South with which the United States ha satisfactory trans portation facilities, Mexico, the trade of theUnlted States has vastly outgrown that of other nations. Fifty year's ago the j trade of Mexico was carried on by British hbusjcs. 'and as -late as 1872-3 was In a airly flourishing condition, but since the open ing of tho Mexican Central and Mexican National Railways, American manufac tures have yearly Increased their trade with the republic. Today the British trade is confined to a few agencies, there being no important commercial establish ment, who by means of samples and cata logues, undertake the execution of orders. Somp of the largo British houses employ travelers, who can always count on their usual customers for orders; but other houses frequently send out such unsuitable me;n, often foreigners, that they are un able to get a ainzle order. The relative growth in the exports of the great nutlonB to Mexico is accurately measured by the following table, prepared by the Treasury Bureau of otatlstics, which shows the yalue of the exports of tho United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany and Spain to Mexico, In each year from 1B87 to the latest attain able date: United United.

The poi)d was filled with caribou bones, which showed that the camp had j oeen mucn rrequeniea. in me miaaie oj. the miniature village lay a large heap of raw caribou meat, which the Eskimos store U,p in seasons of plenty. We waited some time at the camp, hoping the natives wotid reappear; but they did not. It was their perfod of good feeding. The caribou were grazing on the Barren Lands in Vast herds, and musk oxen were plenti ful, so there was no necessity for them to return to their extra food supply. They h&d evidently never come In contact with white men efore, because no article of clvlljEed manufacture was found In their camp. We left what we could for them, and continued our way southward against the snow storm which had set In over the Barren Lands. Next day we crossed the Dease. River, the boundary of the Es kimo country. A few days later wo ha occasion to return toward the Copper mine, and at the crossing of the Dease, on the Eskimo side, three caribou bones stood, sharpened and pointed in our direc tion. Some of these people had followed us secretly all the way from their camp. They had watched us as wq slept In the rocks, and had only turned" back when they reached the Harcskln boundary. What tho strange sign of the three bones could have meant I know not It may have warned us to never again enter the Eskimo country, or else It may have been a sign of friendship to us from one of tha aboriginal bands still left on the Ameri can pohtlqent, who have as yet had no dealings wth the white man.

Records of the Former Trial "Were Admitted. NEW YORK, Nov. 21. The court mar tial proceedings against Colonel Meade, charged vlth drunkenness and scandalous Conduct, were resumed at the navy-yard today. The entire morning session whs devoted to discussing the admissibility of the record of the court of inquiry" which tfas held at the navy-yard July 25, to Which T. D. Semple, attorney for Colonel Meade, strenuously objected. The court ruled that the papers may be admitted. Lieutenant R. S. HOoker, of the Marine Corps, testified that he was In command of tho first company during the battalion drill at the marine barrack June 18, and tha't Colonel Meade was so&er and seemed to be la perfectly normal condition on that occasion. . Richard D. Ware, secre tary of the Puritan Club, of Boston, tes tified that in September, 1597. Major C h.s Lauchheimer was a guest of the club and vthere waB nothing on the records of the Club to show that the card of invitation to Major Lauchheimer had been recalled on account of misconduct. This was in refutation of a statement made under oath by Colonel Meade. During the afternoon sceslop the Judge Advocato and Colonel Idcade's lawyers had a lively tilt In reference to the ad mission of parts of the record of the tes timony taken before the court of inquiry last July. Judge-Advocate NIblack, in order to get part of the records before the court-martial, called Captain B. H. Fuller, who was the Judge-Advocate during the court Of inquiry, and asked If he were able to repeat the testimony given at that time. He said he would bo unabje to g'lve ; It verbatim unless he refreshed bis mem ory from the records. Lawyer Semple 1 objected to this and after the courtroom had been cleared the members of the court held a long discussion of the matter and finally decided that the witness would be allowed to refresh his memory.

The Arnerican people hkve such a Presi dent as they "have neycr had before. Be sides the public fapts that everybody knows, my memory gives me some "private data for comfearteon. I was at college with Roosevelt at Harvard, but we were not thrown much together, although we had mhny friends In common, for he was In his last -year and I was ih my first. In later years, however, I have had the opportunity, of following his remarkable career pretty ciosely, and its ohe chief aspect is that he has been "ever a fight er." Of powerful physique, overflowing with nervous energy, tlroless in cohverea tton, Inexhaustible In idcae, he also pos sesses in a high degree that Invaluable quality which is often disparagingly called obstinacy. In Mr. Cleveland's character there is an element of brutality; In Colqnel Roose velt's tho same metal Is of flper temper. He Is a man of birth and breeding, and a scholar In fact, Ye became the latter by force of circumstances. The strong Democratic President is a man of colossal bulk, whose armchair has to bo specially made for him, who is averse to exercise, whose one sport is to "sit still and shoot ducks, whose strength of will lies chiefly in his confident and phlegmatic Indiffer ence; the strong Republican President has no superfluous flesh, he is the horseman, the hunter, the boxer, the rough rider, whose difficulty Is to sit still and not to care. When he was wanted to be totd of the unexpected collapse of President Mo Kinley he was found deer hunting on the top of a mountain.

PRAISE OF HAWTHORNE. Mr, Hondley Considers Him Amcri ca'fl Greatest Writer. SALEM, Nov. 16. (To the. Editor.) The recent editorial article In The Ore gonlan concerning Hawthorne has awak ened my long ago formed admiration for the writer whom I put at tho head of all writers of America, Ih thus expressing myself I do pqt forget Hawthorne's fan- tastlc creations at times the superiority of his style occasionally to his. thought, and the darkened outlopk of his workp. Old Massachusetts and Colonial1" history are the koil out of which his books In AU. .!. -Immv AHViniik tnH In VlS T lue iiidiu Kitn. auuuuju mcic - .. special unevenness In his-writings we may E?LaAUyw? romances known as the Scarlet Letter, "The House of the Seven Gables," Tne Bllthedale Romance," and W Marble Faun." In "Arabian Nights" we have the impossible. In "Gil Bias" the lmprob- nhli. hnf In ho even romances from the pen of Hawthorne we behold the unavoid able. Above harsh climate, savagery and sol dier Hawthorne 'raised the moral sense, and because of the element of conscience that touches every page of Hawthorne's romances. England too reluctant to dis cover. America In literature, most cordially welcomes Hawthorne into" the rank of the' fcrorjd's best producers of thought and expression. In tine, Hawthorne is at home In the poftrayal of dark corners and closed rooms of human lives. He knows how to paint the double Intent and the concealed passion. He turns up the underside of things "and reveals the diversity of laws that are secretly disobeyed. Atonement Is there In these masterly productions. Where In all literature do we find a character more distinguished for strength and beauty than Pearl in "The Scarlet Letter"? The central thought of 'The Scarlet Letter" Is sin and its penalty. The unities of time, place and action are al most as perrect In "The Scarlet Letter" as In "Prometheus Bound" by Aeschylus or "Oedipus" by Sophocles. "The Hdu3e of the Seven Gables," show ing hoW sn of one' generation reappears in the next, and a house unable to live pn its dignity, must stand next to "The Scarlet Letter." The Bllthedale "Romance" shows how hard It Is for women In the face of the universe, Providence, and destiny, to devi ate from the beaten pathway she never should fall to sec, "The Marbl Faun" with IU foreign background brings to us the air and sky of Italy and the transformation sin Is able to make. Tnese four great romances are four books in systematic theology. B. J. HOADLEY. JforthTrestern People in NeTT York. NEW YORK, Nov. 21.

Gorman's Corrnpt Methods, 1Vors Than Honest ropullnm. Chicago Record-Herald. Arthur Pue German was a curse to tbo Democratic party In spite or his supposed of them in both cases being Republican. In a third county 900 Republican ballots were thrown out, and the small Demo crat majority of 150 was thus secured. First 'came the Gormanlzed law. whos- object w"as to disfranchise colored voters, and then this perpetration of fraud by wholesale upon men who were entitled to vote even Under such a law. Yet the Senate which ousted Clark is expected to accept Gorman wlthqut a protest. ' Of the two men. however, the Montara millionaire is preferable, and his methods are less dangerous to Republican Insti tutions. Simple bribery with cash cannot ( cxi3t ion& a3 a systCm.

Gorman himself knows no other kind of politics, and I3 easily the most conspicu ous leader of his kind in the country, ex cept, perhaps, Quay. Whether his elec tion could be successfully contested is doubtful, but the people of Maryland ought to consecrate themselves to the overthrow of tho Gorman machine, and the Democratic party might better go clear over to Populism than receive this tainted schemer as a counselor again.
