CHINA WiLLFOLLOW IN HER LEAD John Barrett Aronsea Interest of the Leading: Oriental Xntlon In Portland Exposition Other Antlons "Will Rival Uer. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, April 19. The Lewis and Clark Fair has & new and Influential friend In the Japanese Minister, Korogo Takahlra. John Barrett, who toured the Orient for the St. Louis Exposition, had a conver sation with the Japanese Minister before' leaving for St. Louis today. In which he discussed at length the coming exposi tion to be held at Portland. The Minister asked many questions with a view to as suring himself that the Exposition had 'sound financial backing and was regarded with favor by the Government, and the replies of Mr. Barrett were apparently very satisfactory, for, when tho Inter , view closed, the Minister remarked that he saw no reason why Japan should not have a large exhibit at Portland In 1903. Minister Takahlra. was particularly anxious to learn more of Portland's com mercial relations with Japan, and to as certain what opportunity there was for - building up a Japaneee trade through that port. His advices please him, for Mr. Barrett was able to give him reliable In formation on a topic of which the Min ister knew little. After studying the field and having had experience on behalf of St. Louis, Mr. Barrett says It Is essential that Portland, to start with, should secure pledges of a first-class exhibit from one of the most Important countries of the Orient. This, he says, will act ao an entering wedge. For Instance. If Japan's Interest Is deeply . aroused and a fine exhibit Is promised, he ' declares that China, not wishing to be outdone, will fall into line with an equally Interesting exhibit and. In turn, Russia ill be likely to contribute an exhibit from Eastern Siberia, while Slam. Korea and x.the smaller countries, observing the en thusiasm of the larger nations, will fol low up with exhibits on a large scale. Japan. says Mr. Barrett, Is probably the ' best country to start with and China fol- lowIng next In order. , In New Tork a few darn ago Mr.Bar- ,fett explained to the new Chinese Mln . - Ister the purposes of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, of which he ba.1 here tofore known little as to detail. Minister Cheng was much interested and has asked Mr. Barrett, when they meet again, to give him more details, that he may com municate wlth.hls home government. WILL ABANDON" ALASKA POSTS. Soldier So Losser Needed nt Many of the- Station. OREGONIAN -NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, April IS. Officials of the War De partment admit that It Is their ultimate intention to abandon a number of the military posts In Alaska, although such a step Is not likely to occur In the Im mediate future. When these posts were established there was practically no civil government In Alaska, and the military was called upon to preserve order. Now that the civil government Is well or ganized and has Its own o facials for car rying out the respective laws, the Army has been relieved of a great real of this distasteful duty. It has not yet been decided what posts will be abandoned and what ones will re main, except that Haines Mission Is cer tain to be a permanent post, because "of its proximity to the disputed boundary line, where troops are needed for strat egic purposes and where a garrison is to be permanently retained. There has been more or less clamor for a reduction of the St. Michael military reservation, surrounding the military post on the Island, near the mouth "of the Yukon. This demand will be ac ceeded to In due time, when the depart ment is convinced that settlers are de sirous of taking op homes on the now reserved land, but not before. The troops have no use for the reservation beyond the few acres needed for the military post, the reservation having been created or iginally to give the military control over the Island, with a view to suppressing the selling of liquor to troops. It Is not Improbable that the post at St. Michael may ultimately be abandoned, as there Is no longer any demand for the pres ence of troops In that locality. This point, however. Is as yet undecided.

Rending President Defends Methods of Coal Roads In Controlling; Trice of Anthracite. NEW YORK. April 3. The Interstate Commerce Commission resumed today Its Investigation Into the complaints of Will iam R. Hearst against the anthracite coal-carrying roads. John Edmond, sales agent In New York for the Reading Coal & Iron Company, testified that the com pany sold about 1.000.000 tons of coal a year, payment for which was always mide to the finance company. He could not tell the average cost of selling the coal In this city. President Baer. of the Reading, was again called to the witness stand. He could not tell how much of the coal mined along the railroads be controlled was not purchased by him. Ex-Governor Budd, of California, was Introduced as associate with Mr. Hearst's counsel. Mr. Baer estimated that S. 500.000 tons of coal Is carried annually by the Reading system. J. P. Morgan, he said, was not one of the men interested in the Simpson & Watklns project to establish a big general sales depot for anthracite coaL He declined to disclose the nimes of those who were so Interested. Mr. Baer said he promoted the plan to purchase the Temple Iron Company, and that six rail roads were Interested. He suggested the percentage of the different companies and their directors accepted it. The plan, he said, was not so broad as to make the Temple Iron Company the sole agent of the companies In New York, but was la tended to get rid of the commission men. His Idea, Mr. Baer said, was not to maintain a uniform price for coal at tide water, but to get rid of the commission of 10 cents a ton for selling coal. He had reduced the expense of selling. "But you have not succeeded In reduc ing the price of coal to the consumer?" asked counsel. "No," replied Mr. Baer. "because you and your friends have succeeded In rais ing wages and getting up the cost of necessities, so that profits are less." Mr. Baer said be could produce the con tracts between the Temple Iron Company and the railroads. Counsel for the roads objected, and he declined to produce them. "Is there anything In these contracts." Mr. Shearn asked, "that would degrade and Incriminate your "I decline to answer that question, be cause It Is Insolent. There Is nothing In any contract I have made that makes me the criminal your client published me as being, and he cannot come into court and Insult me. You are not a gentleman, or you would not Insult me." "I ask the court to rebuke the witness." said Mr. Shearn. turning to the commis sion. The commission declined to rebuke Mr. Baer. Mr. Shearn read to the witness a part of 'the testimony he gave the Investigating commission after the strike of 1S00. when he complained that the S-35 per cent agreement between the railroad and local companies was the result of Senator Hanna'a appeal that a continuance of the strike meant danger to the JIcKlnley Roosevelt Presidential ticket. Mr. Baer said it was true. , Asked why the men were locked out of the mines, he said: "They refused to work unless we give for seven hours' work the pay of 10 hours work, and we are not going to do It." - "But you have fixed a rate at H-50 a ton!" "Yes; and on May I I am going-to ad vance the price 10 cents, 'and try to work It up to . That will be a fair price and g1ve"Us a proflr. It I cannot get that price, I'll come down. If the market will take It at J3, the price will not be re duced." Mr. Baer said he believed he could con trol the coal market. He said he had not consulted any of the other coal com pany men. but he .did not fear that. It he asked 35 a ton, the other companies would ask any less. "And yet you say there Is competition In the" business?" "Of course, there Is; fair and square competition," Mr. Baer replied. "It Is not necessary that competing merchants should cut each other's throats." SHOULD SECURE EQUAL RATES. La Follette Refers Freight Question to Wisconsin Lsmnsken, MADISON, Wis, April 23. Governor La Follette sent a special message to the Legislature today on the freight commis sion bill. It Is an exhaustive treatise on the subject of railroad freight charges, comprising IS pages, and is Intended to refute the statements and arguments that were made by railroad men and agents before the General Assembly committee. The message says: "If the Legislatures of Illinois or Iowa have given to the people of those states laws which enable them to secure rates lower than the Wisconsin rates tor like services, then the people of Wisconsin are wronged, and It Is the duty of the Legis lature to remedy that wrong. These con siderations furnish the strongest reasons for critical examination and comparison of transportation charges In and between Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois." Comparisons are presented showing dis criminations against Wisconsin shippers running as high as 33 per cent. Rnllroad Y. M. C. A. Gathering. TOPEKA, Kan., April 29.

"Washington" Ice Creai MADE FROM PURE CREAM B " Shipments by Express a Specialty THE WASHINGTON CREAMERY COMPAB PORTLAND, OREGON FRAUD ANNULS MARRIAGE Mlsreprcsentatlona by Woman Valid Grounds of Divorce, ALBANY, N. T.. April 23. An Important case. Involving the validity of marriages obtained by fraud, has Just been decided In the Court of Appeals In the case of Gregory Bllorrnzo, appellant, vs. Johanna BUorenzo. The parties had been living together without marriage, and after an absence of the man In Philadelphia for" some months the woman produced a child, and. representing It as her own, born during his absence, she Induced him to marry her. Be subsequently discovered that the child was not hers, and brought action for annulment -on the ground of fraud. A Jury In New Tork City gave him the verdict, and the marriage was ordered annulled. The woman appealed, and the Judgment was reversed by the Appellate Division. The Court of Appeals again reversed, sustaining the order o. annul ment. Judge Gray, writing the unani mous opinion of the court, says: "The statutes of this state declare that marriage, so far as .ts validity In law Is concerned. Is a civil contract to which the consent of the parties capable of con tracting Is essential. While the marriage relation In its legal aspect has no pecu liar sanctity, as a social Institution a due regard for its consequences and for the orderly constitution of society has caused it to be regulated by laws, in its conduct as in its dissolution. The free and full consent which Is the essence of all ordinary contracts Is made by the statute necessary to Its validity. The minds of the parties must meet In one In tention. Tho plaintiff In this case had a tight to rely upon the defendant's state ment of a fact, the truth of which was known to her and unknown to him, and he was under no obligations to verify a state ment to the truth of which she had pledged herself. It was a gross fraud, and upon reason, as upon authority. It af forded a sufficient ground for the annull xnen of the contract thus obtained." LcttIs Woman Is Acquitted. ABERDEEN, yraeb,, April 29.
