THE MORNING O'REGONIAIS, SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 22, 1902. WHAT OF TARIFF? President Seeking View's of Republicans. CANNON' AGAINST REVISION Roosevelt Thlnlcs Provision for Modi fication Onsh to Be Mk'de at Extra. Session Mitchell for Philippine Free Trade- OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, 'Wash ington, Nov. 51. President Roosevelt's views are not definite regarding what he shall say on the tariff question. He Is going to consult Republicans of prominence In both Houses before making his recommendations. He will find diverse views, especially if he Includes Western men like Babcock among those to be called in conference. At the same time the weight of the advice will come from Eastern Senators, and Representatives against any" tariff "legislation, either at the short session or during the next ses sion of Congress. An interview- published with Cannon some time before Henderson declined to run for Congress has been re-published here. In It Cannon took very pronounced views against any modification of the tariff. In this Congress or the next. No one has authority for stating he has changed his views. "Worlclns Around to a Compromise. The tariff situation seems to be work ing around to a compromise on the Presi dent's commission scheme. Neither -. the Senate finance commltteevnor the way3 and means committee desires a commis sion which will appear to take the matter of tariff out of their hands; and a com mittee composed of men belonging to both of those committees is now suggested as a commission or joint committee of the two Houses, to investigate the tariff situ ation. This might be authorized at the coming short session, and the commission could draft a bill during the long 'recess. But a committee composed cf the lead ing members of these two committees would take particular pains to see that nothing was done towards advancing tar iff legislation, and there is little hope for tariff modification growing out of such a commission. The President believes that if the tariff is to be modified, it ought to be done at an extra session called next March. There is a large element In the Republican party that wants to prevent any modification whatever, and will accept any kind of compromise which will prevent such ac tion. Nearly everybody In Congress is very much opposed to an extra 'session, as Senators and members regard it as a great inconvenience to tome to Washing ton save when they are actually obliged to. It is not likely that the President will deviate from his commission plan, but it is not believed that he will take a very strong position in favor of any tariff changes at the present time. FreeTrade With Philippines. Senator Mitchell Is preparing to advo cate absolute free trade between the United States and the Philippines. The Removal of existing duties, he says, is the stimulus that our commerce with the islands now needs, and would materially assist in the development of the indus tries of the istands. He says there is nothing in the claim that American labor would be injured by coming in competi tion' with cheap labor of the Islands. N,or shoufd.the claim that the islands need thp revenue prevail. The stimulus it trade through a free trade arrangement would more than compensate for the ad ditional, revenue derived from the tariff collected. "The whole Pacific Coast is united in this Idea," he added, "and it will be urged In Congress." PRESIDENT REACHES WASHINGTON Plunges Into Accumulated Work SeeHSome Senators. WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-r-Pres!dent Roosevelt arrived here this morning at S o'clock over the Southern Railway. A email crowd was at the station to wel come hjb return. As he left the train he shook hando with the engineer and fire man and thanked them for the safe run they had made. Thei President and Secre tary Cortelyou were 'driven direct to the White House. Before 10 o'clock this morning the President reaphed his 'office. He began at once to dispose of a mass of business which had accumulated . during his ab sence. Prior to the meeting of the Cabi net, which had been called for 11 o'clock, the President found time to hold brief in terviews with Senators Burrows, of Mich igan; Scott, of West Virginia, and Lodge, of Massachusetts. ' During the next four or five days, as opportunity may offer, the President will put the finishing touches upon his annual message to Congress. It is understood that the message will be sent to Congress on the second .day of the approaching ses elon, Tuesday, December 2,. owing to the fact that deaths of members of both houses have occurred during the recess. which will necessitate an adjournment on Monday. The document is almost com pleted, but some points of It are yet to ue revispd. During the early days of next week the President will consult on parts of his message with Republican leaders in Con gress. CONSIDERED THE MESSAGE. I Panama Cannl Question Discussed by the Cabinet. 4 WASHINGTON, Nov. 2L Every mem ber of the Cabinet was present at today's meeting. It was comparatively brief, lasting only about an hour. At its con clusion It was stated that no business of serious consequence was transacted, al though some subjects of importance were considered briefly. Secretary Hay brought with him some documents relat ing to the status of the negotiations pend ing with Colombia with respect to the Panama Canal treaty. He reported the status of the negotiations, and it is stated the President will not be able to say In his message that he Is ready to submit to Congress a treaty with Colombia in accordance with the Spooner act Some portions of the President's forth coming message to Congress were con sidered, but as the" features of the docu ment concerning which any division of opinion might arise have not been pre pared definitely and "will not be until the President shall have had time further to discuss them ' with the leaders in both branches of Congress, little respecting -the massage was accomplished. REPORT ON OUR ISLANDS. Bureau of Insnlar Affairs Presents Valuable Information. WASHINGTON. Nov. ZL The annual report cf Colonel Charles R. Edwards, chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs of "the War Department,' shows that of- flee, in response to the demands of Con gress and of the public, has collected and prepared forr the vgeneral information of the public a large volume of facts re garding the insular possessions of the United States.. The report 6hows that great care ha,s been taken In the selection of those who are to take positions In the Philippines. The bureau Is accumulating a library of insular documents, so that the record of the work perfected by this Bureau is segregated from the War Department and will furnish the only official library of the Philippines, Porto Rico and Cuba ex tant. Recently the bureau has under taken map work.

PEACE IN SIGHT. (Continued from "First Page.) lnous states, whore the operators have state or district organizations which rec ognize the United Mlnewcxers of Amer ica. The proposed contract with each company does not carry with It a recog nition of the union and on that ground It is not likely that the two parties will be able to settle without resort to the Arbitration Commission. It is not doubt ed that whatever averment shall be reached will be approved by the com mission. The agreement, however, will have to be one that will provide for a reasonably permanent settlement. The In structions given to the commissioners by President Roosevelt when he handed the case to them to settle are explicit. In these instructions he said: You will endeavor to establish the relation between the employes and the wageworkers ia the anthracite fields on a just and permanent basis, and as far as possible to do away with" any causes for the recurrence of such diffi culties as those which you have been called la to settle. Testimony of the Day. The examination of Dr. R. H. Gibbons, of Scranton, was immed iately rccumed when the Anthracite Strike Commission met today. He said that the occupation of a miner subjects a man to. pleurisy, gout, neu ralgia, asthma, bronchitis, sciatica, and other diseases. He believed the day would come when men will be subjected to. medical examination before they un dertake mining. Children, he said, who have suffered from any form of disease of the respiratory passage, bronchitis or pneumonia, should never be permitted In tne mines under the age of lo years, be cause they should have a chance to elimi nate the predisposing factor in the case of so-called miners' asthma. Dr. Gibbons then described the surface Indications of miners' asthma, his testi mony In this respect not differing essen tially from that given by other expert witnesses. On further -examination Dr. Gibbons said he did not mean to be un derstood as saying that miners form an unhealthy class, but that they are de bilitated and run down. He spoke of the necessity for Improved ambulance service at the different collieries. The witness was cross-examined by James H. Torrey, for the Delaware & Hudson Company. In reply to a ques tion Mr. Gibbons said he did not believe there was an ambulance In the entire coal region which had sterile blankets or were themselves sterile. "In fact," said the doctoj, "they are a bunch of Infection. Every ambulance carries death and disease to every un fortunate miner who Is placed In it." Dr. Gibbons was followed by Dr. Eu gene J. Butler, a member of the Central Poor Board of Luzerne County, who tes tified that 70 per cent of those In one of the poorhouses of Luzerne County were miners, and that 40 per cent were crippled by accidents In and about the mines. Many of these, he said, had become in sane through worry over their affliction. A man who works a few years as a mln-v er, he declared, is not fit for anything else. A. H. McClintock, representing the Le high & Wilkesbarre Coal Company, cross examined the witness, and asked If It was not true that a large number of the pro fessional men and merchants in Wilkes barre were men whose fathers and grand fathers had been employed in the mines. "If that is so," the witness replied, "the fathers and grandfathers were the wise fellows who got out In time. They were not mpn who worked for 20 or 25 years in the, mines." s Dr. Butler was excused, and Rev. Dr. Roberts was called to the stand, his ex-' amlnatlon being conducted by Mr. Dar row, for the mlneworkers. He reiterated his belief expressed In his book tnat an Intelligent and persistent combination among miners for the maintenance of prlce3 and rates of wages would secure a 1 just share of the profits for the workers. In answer to Commissioner Clark, Dr. Roberts defined the use of the words "anthracite syndicate" In his book by saying he had reached the conclusion that there was an understanding among the operators toV.adjust the prices and regulate the trade. This conclusion he had reached from personal Investigation. . After reading extracts from an article In a magazine supposed to have been written by Dn Roberts Mr, Darrow asked what was the- temper of both parties dur ing the five months of the strike. The witness replied that It was a condition of war, and that both sides were intem perate. Dr. Roberts, in reply to a quss tlon as to what wages a man should .re ceive to maintain the American standard of living, said that he would place the poverty line at $575 per annum. Under that amount, he said, the miner and his family would suffer physically, Intel lectually and mentally. The commission adjourned until to morrow, so that the commissioners could confer regarding- a suggestion for a week or 10' days' adjournment In order to allow both sides to prepare their documentary evidence. No Agreement Made. a, NEW YORK. Nov. 21. President W. H. Truesdale, of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, was asked tonight If the rumor was true that the coal oper erators.had made an offer to the mine workers of a 10 per cen- increase in wages and a nine-hour day, and that all proceedings before the commission would he discontinued. "No such agreement has been made by any one representing our road," Mr. Truesdale replied. "Do you know if any of the other roads have suggested such an agreement?" he was asked, to which he replied: "I don't know of any such agreement." PIANO AND ORGAN RENTING.

AGE IN COLOMBIA Last Rebel General Comes to Tems. GOVERNMENT ' TAKES ARMS Arrangement Made at Conference on Board Battleship Wisconsin Helps Panama Canal Project. 1 FXNaHCC Novl i. Consul-uenernt Gudger landed from the Wisconsin at 4 o'clock this afternoon, bringing the news that a treaty of , peace bad been signed this afternoon by the revolutionary Gen eral Hrrera and the government commis sioners. Admiral Casey will sail tomorrow. The principal polnt3 in tho treaty of peace, which has now been signed by Minister of State Pcrdomo, specifies that General Herrera shall hand over to the government the entire revolutionary fleet, consisting of the gunboats Padllla, Darlen, Gateln and Boyaca. All the war Imple mentsof the Insurrectionists in the Prov inces of Cauca and Panama and the arms and ammunition captured at Agua Dulce are also to be surrendered. The govern ment will pay the sum necessary to return the soldiers of the revolution to their homes. Once peace has beot declared, the Co lombian Congress will decide regarding the laws lor the Panama Canal and the elections, and also the paper currency, as Is the wleh of the President and the whole nation. THE NEWS IS WELCOME. Revolution in Colombia Menaced Panama Canal Project. WASHINGTON. Nov. 21. Although they have not received any official confirmation cf the report, officials of the Colombian Legation express great satisfaction over the news that a treaty of peace has been signed with General Herrera. They feel that this will terminate a war which has ravaged Colombia for several years. The government of Colombia realizes the menace to Its interests- which the presence ot General Herrera and hi army would be for the negotiation of a Panama Canal, and put forth every effort to bring about his capitulation. For this purpose a large number of troftps have been massed In the vicinity of Panama and Colon, ready for an active campaign against the revolutionary General, should such action be Anally determined upon. It Is believed here that the terms of the treaty negotiated follow In many respects the offers made to the rebels some tlnfe ago by President Marroquln. These were regarded by the government as extremely liberal In -character. An essential feature of them was the granting of amnesty to the revolutionists, and their restoration to certain rights which they forfeited when they tookup arms against the gov ernment. CUBA'S FOREIGN TRADE. Havana Minister Has Furnished State Department With Report; WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 2L Minis ter Squlers, at Havana, has forwarded to the State Department the official re port of the Foreign Commerce of Cuba for May and June, 1902, and a statement of the trade with the United States In June, 1902, as compared with other coun tries. The Minister notes a decrease in tho sugar trade for the first six months of 1002 as compared with the same period of, 1901, of 143,000 tons. To offset this, however, there la an Increase of 318,000 tons held in storage. In the hope of better prices. The report shows that Cuba gave to the United States 44 per cent, of her Import and 74 per cent of her export trade. Nearly all of Cuba's fruit and sugar was -marketed In the United States last June, as well as 50 per cent, of the Island's tobacco. The United States al most entirely supplied Cubg. with wheat, flour, corn, crude oil, coal and meats, with the exception of jerked beef. Spain and Canada supplied large .quantities of potatoes, onions, hams and butter, which Minister Squlers says should come from the United States or be supplied by the home market. The Minister says our live stock trade Should be Increased, as the tariff provisions are favorable, and cattle men prefer American stock. Opportuni ties also await United States exporters of lumber, iron arid steel and soap. Cu ban Imports from the United States for the first six months of 1902 show a re duction of ,12 per cent, from tho corre sponding period of 1899. Imports from Spain Increased 2 per cent.

The "Venezuelan government has energetically protested against the entering of the Orinoco River by the British sloop Fantome (previously known in Port of Spain dispatches of No vember 19 as the British ship Phaeton), which action, It claims, was an Infringe ment of Venezuelan sovereignty.

DEATH OF A31ER ICAN -ARTIST IN PARIS. Did She Fire the Fatal Shot, Did the . . Man Who Was With Her, or Was It Accident? PARIS, Nov. 2L The tragic death of the young American artl3t, Mrs. Ellen Gore, who was, founds fatally shot In the apart ments of a Russian musician named De Rydzewski. Wednesday, continues to oc cupy the attention of the police and the staff of the American Consulate. The developments of the true Inwardness- of the mystery were followed with eager in terest by the public. toda and brought forward many who had known Mrs. Gore here and in America, and, from them her antecedents were fully .obtained. It was developed also that she had been a pupil of the famous composer Moszkowsltl, whil$ De Rydzewski was a pupil of Jean la Salle, the baritone of the Grand Opera. The police branch of the mystery seem ingly remains undeveloped, and no further light hpa been thrown on the causes which led to' the tragedy or the circumstances attending Its enactment. An autoDsv was held today by Dr. .Socquet, and resulted In a formal report wound. Consul-General Gowdy assigned a member of his staff "to attend tho autopyy and take notes of the condition of the body! That official reported that the bullet entered the forehead above the left eye and went clear through the head. ! The bullet was not found. The reiect of Police designated Gnetlnne Rennette, the expert armorer, to study the weapon and wound for the-purpose of determining the possibility of suicide. Although many friends of Mrs. Gore called on Mr. Gowdy, none claimed the body, and late in the day he cabled Attor ney Butler, of Mexico City, asking as to Its disposal. The mos circumstantial account con cerning Mrs- Gore was furnished by Vin cent Toledo, director of a leading piano establishment In the Avenue de l'Opera. He says she was Introduced to him by letters from musical friends In New York. She appeared to Him most charming and vivacious and devoted to music. She re ceived all her mall at a private address. She traveled In the early Summer over Europe and took lessons in Vienna from a leading mafter. Returning last August, she asked to be recommended to a mas ter of the highest rank. Moszkowskl was chosen. She studied with great ardor and took part In, a number of muslcales. Last Tuesday she accepted an Invitation to the opera from M. Toledo for last night, and he was horrified, on going for her, to find her dead. M. Moszkowskl. on being Interviewed, "said: "I cannot believe Mrs. Gore has commit-., ted suicide. She was of the happiest dis position. I never saw the least evidence of melancholy. She was deeply Interested In .her work, and hail ouch promise as a musician! it was her purpose, after com-' pletlng her. musical education, to return to America. She Inquired of me recently If I thought she would make an excellent professional. She has taken- lessons, of me every Tuesday since October 10. Last Tuesday I received a note from her say 'ihg she was suffering from Indisposition. I did not know anything of her private life:' The family of Dr. Buttner, an American dentist in the Rue de La Paix, furnished details of the antecedents of Mrs. Gore. They had been Intimate with the family In Mexico, but did not know her here. They said her maiden name was Sinclair, and that she lived In California, where she met and was married to Mr. Gore, of British Columbia. They removed to Mex ico City and became wealthy through land speculations. They built the Gore Court, a large ripartment-house, and moved In good society. Domestic differences led to a separation, but not to a divorce, and she began traveling to perfect her muslcaf education." The property in Mexico was equally divided between Mr. Gore and his wife. Mrs. Gore's share was of consider able value and yielded her a steady In come. De Rydzewski continues in confinement. The police declined to admit his friends to see him pending inquiries. M. La Salle has undertaken to champion his. pupil's Interests, and has designated two lawyers to defend him. La Salle says the murder theory Is untenable, as his pupil Is of a tender, sympathetic disposition. The bari tone expected to prepare the latter for a part in one of Rubeneteln's operas for early production In St. Peteroburg. De Rydzewski and his brother brought Mrs. Gore to La Salle recently. She discussed' her musical ambitions, and was vivacious, charming and enthusiastic oyer music. The police have modified their theory on one' damaging clew. De Rydzewski at first exclaimed that the girl was dead and he afterward eaid she had committed suicide. The police at first held this to bo a damaging contradiction, but Com missary Landel said, after fuller investi gation today, the second declaration re garding suicide was misunderstood, and that De Rydzewski Intended to Indicate merely that she was dead. The Journal states that Dr. Socquet's report on the autopsy of the dead woman establishes that the bullet entered her head from below and passed upwards, thus supporting Rydzewski's story that the accident was due to the fall of the revolver. (Mrs. Gore was killed by a revolver shot Wednesday, in the apartment occupied by Jean de Rydzewski, a singer of the Im perial Theater, of St. Petersburg. De Rydzewski at first said Mies Gore com mitted suicide, but subsequently he de clared the revolver went off accidentally. When found the victim was unconscious, and had a bullet wound over her right eye. Two doctors were summoned to attend her, but she died without regaining con sciousness.. The police are disposed to ac cept the "'statement of the young Rusaian singer whb was in the room at tho time that the shooting was the result of an accident during a scuffle for the posses sion of the weapon. The Russian singer comes from a rich and noble Russian fam ily. Hq isathc von of a Russian General, and has micles who hold high positions in the government service.

They Discard the Saiclde Theory Irreproachable Character. MEXICO CITY. Nov. 21. The tragic death in Paris of Mrs. Gore, wife of Thom as Sinclair Gore, has greatly shocked her friends In thl3 city. She was regarded as a lady of artistic tastes, and had a large , circle of acquaintances in the American and English colonies. Her husband Is a j Canadian, and brought his wife here as a I bride some 15 years ago. She 1b believed to have been born In Ohio, but on being orphaned at an early age was brought up by her aunt, Mrs. P. T. Dickinson, of Alameda, Cal. It Is said that the couple did not live, happily together. They had one child, which died. For some time past Mr. and Mrs. Gore have lived apart, and she, be ing of an artistic temperament and fond of music, went to Vienna, where she studied under good masters. She returned to th!a city to arrange for her future sup port, her husband being the owner of a large amount of real estate here and proprietor of tne Gore Court apartment house.
