THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1903. H SICK Canadian Cutter Pur sues Americans. POACHING IS SUSPECTED Fishing Craft s Badly Dam aged on Lake Erie. ONE HAH SHOT IN THE LE H'oalcee Skipper Alarms He Wan Onljr Scare lilnK Xor Aet, and Will Beport the Affair to fVasbiagton, ERIH, Pa, Aug. 12. The Silver Bpray. rtL fishing boat owned here, came Into jjKJrt this afternoon la a badly shattered condition, due to an encounter in mld 'lake about noon with the Canadian xevenue cutter Petrel. The Canadian authorities have for years had trouble with American fishermen 'poaching on the Canadian side of the lake, and the Petrel Is kept constantly on the lookout for them. At noon, she came Upon the Silver Spray on the Canaulan j3lde of the lake, and at once ordered Cap 'taln Chris Cbau to stop. The Petrel Is a (Strong: steel craft, and It Is said attempted to ram the American boat before she could comply with the order to stop. -Captain Chau decided to attempt to es cape and started ahead at full speed. The Petrel then opened fire with all her guns, unci about 20 shots struck the Silver Spray. Two shots "struck the pilot-house In which Captain Chau stood at the wheel. One shot came within a few Inches of Chau, scattering a myriad of splinters around his head. That no one was killed Is miraculous and two shots struck the cabin, two the roof, threo the after hur ricane deck and the others various parts of the boat. The chase was kept up for some time, but when Captain Chau got across the boundary line, the Petrel gave up the pursuit. Captain Chau will report the affair to the State Department at Washington, as he says he was looking for some of his nets which had drifted from this side toward the Canadian shore. The only man Injured on tho Sliver Spray was Bofterfck Culver, who was hit in tho leg by a shot. He Is now In the hospital. The fishermen say the Petrel used her small deck cannon.

Waudby, of Syracuse, N. T., for appoint ment as commissioner of labor and stat istics to succeed Carroll Dr. Wright did not carry an endorsement of William R.

PRINTERS CHANGE MORE LAWS. International Union Also Decides to Meet' at St. Louis In li)04. WASHINGTON. Aug. 12. The Interna tional Typographical Union today decided unanimously to hold its meetings in 1904 In St. Louis. The decision was reached without opposition, all other candidates withdrawing. Delegates Gllmore, of Mon treal, and Powell, of Ottawa, gave notice that those cities would be candidates for the honor In 1905. They stated that there is much opposition In Canada to interna tional unionism, and expressed the opin ion that a meeting in the Dominion would strengthen tho cause. The union began its session today by ordering the removal of all circulars and other literature distributed In the meet ing hall which does not bear the union label. Tho convention resumed consideration of the report of the committee on laws. The first proposition taken up was a rec ommendation prohibiting members of subordinate unions from voting on a change of the scale of prices unless ho has been a member for at least six months. This suggestion was adopted, but the convention voted down a suggest ion excluding from membership In subor ainato unions maenme operators wno have not served an apprenticeship as printers. This negative action was taken because the point is already covered by existing law. There was considerable discussion of an amendment suggested by Delegate Tay lor, of Tacoma, Wash., for the recogni tion of the rule of employing substitutes as regular printers. There was a recogni tion of the fact that a better regulation than that which exists at present Is de sirable, but the suggestion was antagon ized as Impracticable by the laws com mittee, and the proposition' was voted down. The convention adopted an amendment to the general laws suggested by Dele gate Taylor gave to substltue printers the privileges enjoyed by regular printers. The convention then took up the sugges tion made by tho committee on laws to fix a standard for the measurement of machine-set typo, but after extended de- bate the question was recommitted to the (iinimltlM for further ronslriprallnni. The provision In the general laws pro hibiting members from accepting work' in offices where the proprietor imposes a task cr "dead line" was stricken out. A proposition submitted by Delegate Bacon, of Hartford, looking to the cre ation of a fidelity insurance fund for the bonding of officers was voted down? ns rJso was a proposition by Delegate Har ris, requiring subordinate unions Imme diately to begin the accumulation of de fense funds amounting to not less than HO per member. At the "meeting of the storeotypers and electrotypers a committee was appointed to organize subordinate unions In the Philippines and to investigate the possi bility of organizing in the Hawaiian is lands. Tbc principal featvre in the proceed- ings of the woman's auxiliary to the Typographical Unlonr was the decision not to hear an address In support of fe male suffrage, which Mrs. G. A. Lock wood requested the privilege of delivering. STRIKE WILL CLOSE PLAXTS. Five Hundred More Miners in Colo rado Will "Be Out of Work. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.. Aug. 12.

HIS GUESTS AT SAGAMORE KILL Subcommittee Is Now Ready to Pat .Its Ideas Into Concrete Form, and Desires to Hear Susses tioas of the Execatlve. OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. Aug. 12. Presi dent Roosevelt has as his guests tonight at Sagamore Hill the members of the subcommittee of the Senate committee, on finance, which Is engaged In drafting a currency measure to be submitted to Congress next Fall. The subcommittee consists of Senator Aldrich. Rhode Is land, chairman; Piatt. Connecticut; Alli son, Iowa, and Spooner, Wisconsin. Before the adjournment of Congress last Spring this subcommittee was ap pointed and authorized to sit during the recess of Congress to study the financial situation and prepare a measure to meet the requirement, as the committee viewed It. for Introduction In the Senate. On this work the committee, sometimes as Individuals, part of the time as a body, has engaged during the latter part of the Summer. For a day or two the members have bem guests of Senator Aldrich at his "Warwick residence near Providence. They are preparing now to. put Into concrete form the results of their Investigation and labor. Desiring to consult with President Roosevelt regarding the work the sub committee came to Oyster Bay late this afternoon. It could not be ascertained definitely whether a draft of a currency measure had been made and was to bo discussed tonight or not. but as the Senators have been engaged for several days at Warwick, with their colleagues and stenographers. It Is reasonably cer tain that some progress has been made toward "thcTireparatlon of a currency bill. Object of the Committee. The object of the committee Is to as certain the views of President Roose velt with definlteness. In order. If pos sible, to meet them In the framing of the measure. It is understood to be the desire of all. Including the President, that the bill should be ready for Intro duction at the extra session which the President has annpunced he will call for Monday, November 4. Before that time the subcommittee will submit its draft of the measure to the full sub committee on finance, and probably to some other Republican Senators. The President Is not wedded to any particular plan of currency reform, so called, but desires simply that a practi cable scheme be evolved and put Into the form of legislation at an early date that will render the currency system of dhe country more elastic and less likely to be affected by the fluctuations of values or the demands for money at crop-moving seasons. In a general way his Ideas have been presented in some of his speeches during recent months. It Is said to be unlikely that any definite Information concerning the work of tho subcommittee already accomplished would be given to the pub lic at this time. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt, ac companied by several of their children and nephews and by Mr. And Mrs. Jacob A. Rlis. of Richmond Hill. L. I., today enjoyed an outing on the naval yacht Sylph. The day was Ideal. Glen Island was the scene of a picnic luncheon. Sir Thomas LIpton has accepted the President's invitation to witness the naval review and inspection next Mon day from the deck of the auxiliary cruiser Mayflower, which on that day will fly the President's flag. BATTLESHIP STRIKES A ROCK. Massachusetts Pats Back, While Rest of Fleet Goes to Oyster Bay. BAR HARBOR, Me., Aug. 12. While leaving the harbor during a thick fog about noon today. In company with other vessels of the North Atlantic Squadron, the battleship Massachusetts sustained considerable damage by strik ing on the ledge of rocks off the west ern end of Egg Rock. The big vessel slipped over the rocks Into deep, water, but the two forward bulkheads soon filled, and it was subsequently found by divers, who examined her hull, that sev eral plates forward had been cracked. The Massachusetts was headed back into the harbor with difficulty, accom panied by her sister vessel, the Indiana. and the gunboat Scorpion. She will re main here until Captain Manning, her commander, receives orders from Wash ington, when It Is expected she will pro ceed to Brooklyn to be drydocked. At the time the accident happened the squadron, which Is under command of Rear-Admiral Barker, and which has been on this part of the coast engaged In a war game, was bound for Long Island Sound, where there will be exer cises previous to an Inspection and re view next Monday by President Roose velt, Secretary Moody and Admiral Dewey. It Is believed that the accident to the Massachusetts was due to a miscalcula tion of her position on the part of the navigating officer. When the big battle ship struck she was going at the rate of about 9Vfc knots an hour. Captain Manning said tonight that he could have proceeded with the rest of the fleet, but thought It wisest to return so that the Massachusetts could bo drydocked for repairs. It is expected that she will be In trim when her orders are received to sail. She will proceed to the Brook lyn navy-yard, probably under her own steam, and will be drydocked so that the full extent of her damage may be ascertained. BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT. Government Begins First Work Un der New Act In Arizona. WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. The Secretary of the interior has approved tho award of the contract for the construction of an Irrigating canal to connect the Truckee and Carson Rivers, In Nevada, to Charles A. Warren & Co., of San Francisco, and E. B. & A. L. Stone Company, of Oak land, Cal.. at an aggregate cost of $342,437. This is the first definite action taken by the department looking to actual con struction under the reclamation act. The proposed canal will be 30 miles in length. Its main purpose is to carry the waters of the Truckee River to a reser voir to be constructed ia the Valley of Carson River. Incidentally, however, about S00O acres of land under the canal will be irrigated by it. Ultimately the project Is expected to reclaim about 300,000 acres of arid lands In Western Nevada and Eastern California, Including the old Forty Mile Desert. ROOT CONFERS ON PHILIPPINES. Discusses New Currency BUI With Ide, and Then Wires Taft. WASHINGTON." Aug. 12. Secretary Root left today for New York. He will be absent until Saturday. Before leaving, he had a conference with Judge Henry C Ide. of the Philippine Commission, who is on his way to Manila. The currency ques tion was discussed, and in view of the near approach to the time when the new Philippine currency law will go Into ef fect cable messages on the subject have been exchanged with Governor Taft. September 1 Is the date when the law will be put in forced unless something un foreseen happens in Oriental nnance to make a delay necessary. The insular bu reau of the War Department has-been un officially Informed that tho price of the Mexican dollar in Manila Is 45& cents. In Hong Kong 44U. and In New York 42. It has been suggested that the difference between the price In Manila and Hong Kong will result in a large Importation of Mexican dollars, and the English bankers have suggested that an import tax be levied upon the Mexican coins, in order to protect the Filipino people who hold Mexicans. The War Department authorities take the view that the bankers probably hold more Mexican dollars than the people, and that such a tax Is unnecessary. These Mexican dollars will not be received for public djies and imposts after the new currency law .goes into effect. The posi tion of the War Department Is that there should be no interference with the Mex ican dollars, as they are floating foreign coin. It is probable that the Spanish sil ver coins In circulation will be redeemed, as were the Spanish coins In Porto Rico, as It Is held that the Spanish coins were a part of the government which was ac quired by the cession. Shaw Removes Special Architect. WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. Secretary Shaw today removed Mr. Cobb, the spe cial architect for the Chicago building. No cause was assigned for this action. It Is not likely that a successor to Mr. Cobb will be appointed and the building probably will be completed under the sole supervision of the Supervising Architect's office. Fleet Sails for Oyster Bay. BAR HARBOR, Me., Aug. 12.

TERMS LYNCHERS SAVAGES Brooklyn Physician Says They Should Be Treated as Murderers. CHAUTAUQUA, nT Y., Aug. 12. Rev. Dr. Richmond ,Babbltt, rector of the Church of the Epiphany, Brooklyn, an swered John Temple Graves, of Georgia, In an elaborate address today at the Chau tauqua Assembly on lynchings and mobs from an American standpoint. Dr. Bab bitt's address was the chief one of today on mobs. He contrasted the view of lynching Justified by Mr. Graves with what he called "the more general and better view of the American Nation." and showed the prevalence and Increasing violence of the mob spirit. Its tendency to leap the color line and lynch for minor of fenses than rape and murder. He dwelt on the phraseology of the mob, and gave the Wilmington lynching of the negro White as typical, and denounced the of ficials who refused to protect any prisoner of any color or for any crime. He paid a glowing' tribute to order and law as rep resented In Governor Durbln, of Indiana, and Governor Yates, of Illinois, and up held President Roosevelt hi his recent let ter on lynching. "LynchersJ the speak er declared, "were plain murderers and- savages, and should be treated as such by the authorities, and by all worthy to bear the name of American citizens. "More morality, less prejudice, stricter law quickly applied, fair play to negro and white, and both the race question and the mob problem will assume leas dangerous dimensions," said Dr. Babbitt In conclusion. ODELL PRAISES THE WEST It Hns Plenty of Money and Plenty of Common Sense. CHICAGO. Aug. 12. A dispatch to the Record-Herald from Mohawk Lake. N. Y., says: Governor Odell. who has just re turned from a tour of the West, says the people outside of Wall street are too busy with big crops and other business to pay any attention to the recent flurry and failures. "There is no sign of panic anywhere except In the East," he says. "In the West there is plenty ot money and plenty of common sense. Business is good, crops are abundant and money cheap everywhere I have been. The excitement and demoralization of the East are re garded with Indifference in the great, busy, productive West," he continued. "Of course I found labor strikes In the West as In the East, but they were strikes for higher wages and shorter hours, not strikes against lower wages. which are signs of bad times. That is a very Important fact to remember just now. CRUSHED TO DEATH. Three Men Caught Under 1,000,000 Bell at a Blast Fnrnnce.
