EVANS WANTS TO STAY THERE
Navy Department Has Implicit Faith
In Him, and Cables That He
Can Use His Own '
Pleasure.
"WASHINGTON. Feb. .22. Naval officials
ore considering earnestly, the strengtben
. ing pf the American Asiatic fleet. In view
of the vast interests of this country In
the Philippines, In China and In Corea,
and the probability that disturbances
may necessitate their protection at any
time. At the same time there Is a desire
to avoid exciting the suspicions of the
old world powers, lest this Government
may be put in the false light of Inter
fering In. the Eastern struggle, notwith
standing our declaration of absolute
neutrality. A high naval officer tonight
said:
"The need of Increasing the Asiatic
fleet has been long felt. It was Intended
that the new battleship Ohio, building at
the Union Iron Works. San' Francisco,
ehould be sent to the Asiatic Station in
the spring, and that she should be fol
lowed there by the armored cruiser South
Dakota and the protected cruiser Mil
waukee assoon as these vessels are com
pleted. The Ohio, however, will not be
ready before Autumn, and wo are now
considering the dispatch, within the next
month or two, of an additional battle
ship. It has been suggested that the
Ibwa be selected for this mission, but
no decision has been reached. She Is
now receiving rush repairs at the New
York Navy-yard.
"In addition the- Tacoma. which was
commissioned a short time ago and is
getting ready for sea, has been tenta
tively selected to go to Asia as the re
lief of one of the vessels of the cruiser
squadron, but under present circum
stances it Is probable that none of the
cruiser squadron will be brought home
now, however many ships are added to it.
"It also has been suggested that the
New York, now at Panama, be returned
to, the Asiatic Station, and that she make
the cruise with the Tacoma, This Is
undecided, and the uncertainty of the
Panama situation, together with the fact
fhat the New York is due for a thorough
overhauling, rather militates against

Evans' fleet.
Events Moving Too Rapidly.
"So rapidly are events in the Far East
moving that it is Impossible to say one
day .what move on. he .Asiatic Station

It was orlclnallv succcsfed that the bat
tleship' squadron go up to Chefoo. but
this' was not approved, and an order was
ireucd for the "battleships to remain in
Philippine waters', and for the cruiser
squadron to assemble at Shanghai. Re
pairs to the valves of the Kentucky, the
flagship of the Asiatic Station, however.
have necessitated the sending of that
ship to Hong Kong to be docked, and it
is probable the other ships of the squad
ron, the battleships Oregon and "Wlscon
sin, will accompany her. Meantime the
cruisers will be used to keep In com
munication with our agents at Niu
Chwang, Chefoo, Chemulpo and Seoul."
Rear-Admiral Evans has cabled the
Navy Department expressing a wish to
remain in the Far East for the present.
In event that the Kentucky is not to be
brought home when repaired. He feels
that the situation Is extremely Important
out there, and for this reason offers to
remain, although his time of sea duty Is
up next month, and the plan is f6r him
te return to New York on his flagship,
The department has cabled him, leaving
the matter entirely to his Judgment, and
the Announcement was made tonight by
a higli official, that the department had
every confidence In the wisdom of Ad
miral Evans' decision. It Is expected
that the docking of the Kentucky will
show Just what repairs the ship needs.
and It was said tonight that she may be
on her way home within two weeks. The
Kentucky would come by way of Suez,
making the usual stops.
In the event that Admiral Evans de
cides to return now, orders will be Issued
Immediately assigning him to the presl
doncy of the lighthouse board. Rear
Admiral Philip H. Cooper, now com
rnandlng the cruiser squadron of the
Asiatic fleet, will be named as the suc
cessor of Admiral Evans In supreme com
mand of the station, and In turn will be
succeeded by Rear-Admiral Yates Ster
ling, now commanding the Philippine
squadron, the command of that squadron
being taken by Rear-Admiral W. H.
Folger.
Squadron to Make Demonstration.
LONDON, Feb. 23. According to the
Nagasaki correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph. the American squadron, the
vessels of which are variously reported
at Chefoo and Shanghai, is going to
make a demonstration at the mouth of
the Yalu River.
ORDERED TO HONG KONG.
Flagship of American Asiatic Squad
ron Is Likely to Have Company.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. The battleship
Kentucky, flagship of the American-Asiatic
fleet, has been ordered to Hong Kong,
where she will be docked for the purpose
of making minor repairs. It Is regarded
as possible that Admiral Evans will have
the remainder of the battleship squadron
accompany him to Hong Kong, although
he has not advised the department to this
effect.
It la not Intended at present that the
battleships shall go further north. The
double turretted monitors Monadnock and
Monterey, also a part of the battleship
squadron, are at Shanghai and Canton,
China, respectively. The cruiser New Or
leans and the gunboat Wilmington have
been recalled from CScfoo, lest, tholr pres
ence there might be resented by one of the
belllgorents. and are on their way to
Shanghai, where the Raleigh Is awaiting
the arrival of the remainder of the cruis
er squadron. The cruiser Cincinnati Is in
Philippine waters under orders for Shang
hai, and the San Francisco reported Sat
urday at Bombay. India, on "her way to
Chinese waters.
Rear-Admiral Evans has distributed the
gunboat division, which Is attached to the
battleship squadron as follows:: The Cal
lao ws last reported at Canton, the Ei
Cano. at Nankin, the Helena in Mud dock
. at Niu Chwang. the Vicksburg at Chemul
po, Qerea. and the Vlllalobo at Hankow.
Of the Philippine squadron of gunboats.
Rear-Admiral Stfcilng. commanding the
Annapolis and the Frolic, Is at Shanghai.,
and the remainder of the vessels are In
Philippine waters.
Of the fleet of auxiliaries, according to
week end reports, the collier Pompeii Is at
Chemulpo and the supply ship Zafiro Is on
the way to Cavlte.
RESPONSES OF THE POWERS.
Hay Makes Public "Replies to His
Note Regarding China.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. The State De
partment has made public the text of the
notes exchanged with the powers respect
ing the Far Eastern War. The United
States' note already has been published.
The text of the remaining notes follow:
On February 13 the following answer
was received from the Japanese govern
ment, addressed to the American Minister
in Tokio:
"In response to your note of the 13th
Inst., on the subject of the neutrality of
China during the existing war, I beg to
say that the imperial government, shar
ing with the Government of the United
States in the fullest measure the desire to
avoid as far as possible any disturbance
of the orderly conditions of affairs now
prevailing In China, are prepared to re
spect the neutrality and administrative
entity of China outside the regions occu
pied by Russia as long as Russia, making
similar engagement, fulfills in good
faith tne terms and conditions of such en
gagement."
On February 19 the following answer
was received from the Russian govern
ment: ,
The imperial government shares com
pletely the desire to insure tranquillity
of China; Is ready to adhere to an under
standing with other powers for the pur
pose of safeguarding the neutrality of
that empire, on the following conditions:
"First China must herself strictly ob
serve all the clauses of neutrality.
Second The Japanese government must
loyally observe the engagements entered
Into with the powers, as well as the prin
ciples generally recognized by the law of
nations.
Third That It is well understood that
neutralization In no case -can be extended
to Manchuria, the territory of which by
the force of events will serve as a field
of military operations."
On the same day the State Department
sent the following telegram to the Gov
ernments of Russia, and Japan, communi
cating its purport to the other powers In
terested:
The answer of the Russian government
is viewed as responsive to the proposal
made by the United States, as well as by
the other powers, and this Government
will chave pleasure in communicating It
forthwith to the Governments of China
and Japan, each of which has already In
formed us of Its adherence to the princi
ples set forth In our circular- proposal."
ALARMED FOR SHIPPERS.
Belligerents Have Not Said Whether
Foodstuffs Are Contraband of War.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 22. Officials here
are apprehensive that friction may fol
low the efforts of the belllgents In Asia
to define contraband of war in a man
ner injurious to American trade. While
the matter has not yet been treated in
the negotiations had with Russia and Ja
pan on the one side, and the United States
on the other, there is reaspn to believe
that some of the European powers have
already been confronted with' threatened
restrictions upon their trade which they
are disposed to resist. A vast quantity
of American foodstuffs Is now afloat des
tined for both Russia and Japan, and It
is probable the question will be very
speedily raised as to whether these sup
plies are a contraband of war.
The United States has in recent years
Insisted that foodstuffs were not contra
band and could not be seized by a bellig-
erarit unless it were shown that the goods
were consigned to or clearly Intended for
a belligerent. This principle was recog
nized by the British government during
the Transvaal war, .and British courts
awarded considerable sums of money to
American shippers on account of food
seized by British warships.
NIU CHWANG PANIC INCREASES
Japanese Attack Is Much Feared-
Russian Credit There Destroyed.
TOKIO, Feb. 22.. The British naval off!
clals who brought the Japanese armored
cruisers Nisshin and Kasuga from Genoa,
Italy, to Japan, will be received In audi
ence by the Mikado tomorrow. The noble
men's club banqueted them today. Grati
tude toward Great Britain here is Intense.
The announcement here that Japanese
fugitives from Manchuria had been saved
from further Russian cruelty by the good
offices of Mr. Conger, the United States
Minister at Pekln, was received with the
highest evidences of appreciation.
Japanese convertible war notes have be
gun to be placed in circulation at Seoul
and Chemulpo. They are of six denomina
tions, the highest being ton yen.
It is reported that the panic at Niu
Chwang is Increasing, owing to the appre-
nension i a Japanese attack. Russian
financial credit there Is completely de
stroyed.
America Can Do Nothing.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. The State De
partment has heard nothing whatever
from United States Consul Miller at Niu
Chwang touching the troubles he has bad
with the Russian officials In endeavoring
to carry out the department's Instructions
to look after Japanese Interests at that
port. It is said that If these officials are
supported by their government in ob
structing the American Consul in the dis
charge of this humane duty, the depart
ment can do nothing further.
GAUGE AMERICAN SENTIMENT
Japanese Insist Prominent Banker's
Trip Is for No Other Purpose.
PARIS, Feb. 22. The Japanese officials
here Insist that M. Takashl. the vice
president of the Bank of Japan at Tokio
and Baron Kaneko. who start from Toklo
for America February 24 on a mission to
the United States, are not charged to
enter Into any negotiations with the
United States Government. The officials
assert that they are going to America
solely for the purpose of gauging Ameri
can sentiment in respect to the Far East
em war.
Regarding the offer of the French Red
Cross Society to send relief immediately
to Manchuria. M. Mellxdorff. the Russian
Ambassador, has written to the Russian
authorities on the subject. He says the
land operations will not commence before
some weeks, and then only should prac
tical relief measures be taken. This state
ment Is accepted as an Indication that
the Russians wish to complete" the con
centratlon of their troops before engag
ing in a decisive combat.
Russians Begin Observance of Lent
. ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 22. Carnival

terdav all classes of the populace, from
the highest to the lowest, began the ob
servance of Lent with even more than
the customary rigor, doing penance and
praying for the success of the Rusian
arms.
The Czar will pass the week fasting at
the Winter Palace, and Immediately after
ward the court will remove to Tsarskoe
Selo, the Czar's favorite abode.
The Novoe Vrcmya, commenting upon
the report of M. Pavloff, who was Rus
sian Minister at Seoul, of the light at
Chemulpo, declares that Japan's action
there has stricken her from the list of
civilized powers and predicts a revival
of European solidarity against the "wild
AHatlc cnemv." The naner ro-emoh&elzes
the Inevitability of long delay before
extensive military operations will be pos
sible, owing to the -immense area to be
defended and the rigors of the climate.

sul at Niu Chwang, Manchuria, Is
ai Oregon man, and was appointed
"jy President McKlnley during the
Boxer revolt of 1900.
Harry B. Miller is a native of
Ohio, and is SI years old. He
came to Oregon In 1873 to look at
the country, and In 1875 located
here. Mr. .Miller received his edu
cation In the public reboots of

"When Mr. Miller was appointed Consul at Niu Chwang. It was In the ca
pacity of a special officer to look after the interests of the United States In the
settlement of the damago suits resulting rom the Boxer uprisings. Upon com
pleting this work, he was continued as the regular representative of the United
States at the Manchurlan post. It Is worthy of note that Mr. Miller is the only
representative of the United States In the consular, service in Manchuria at

are revolutionary and subversive of the !
rights of labor and the employers of labor
and of the laws of the land. Above all.
they are destructive of the rights and
liberties of the great body of the people
Irrespective of their affiliation with union
ism or with employers of labor.
"Resolved further. That the present
condition of anarchy and contempt for
law and the constituted authorities
brought about by the lawless leaders and
members of labor unions has forced upon
the peace-loving citizens of the United
States the necessity of demanding that
the names and whereabouts of these law
breakers who practice Intimidation, boy
cotting, picketing, destruction of prop
erty, and who commit assaults upon their
fellow laborers, or commit other crimes
in the name of labor, be made known for
the protection of all law-abiding people
and for the best Interest of labor Itself
and to the end that justice may be meted
out.
"Resolved further. That the executive
committee Is hereby -directed to take the
necessary steps to ascertain the identity
of such persons, and obtain full informa
tion in connection therewith, and a re
port of the same be made to each organi
zation holding membership In this asso
ciation." Union Labor Also Opposed.
This resolution was passed unanimously:
"That the use of the union label on man
ufactured articles recognizes and en
dorses the endeavor of the labor organi
zation to control, the entire labor market:
that It Is no Indication of the quality of
the goods, and as its "use Is a surrender
of Individual freedom and Is a badge of
subserviency, be it resolved, that the
Citizens' Industrial Association of Amer
ica declares its opposition to the use of
such labels and urges upon manufac
turers that they refuse its use on their
products, being a species of boycott, and
it is only by reason of -untrammelled en
terprise that Improvement in manufac
ture and national advancement can be
secured."

ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT PARRY
Opposition to the Closed Shop "Held
to Be Firm Duty of Employer.
txntANAPOLIS. Feb. 22. The address
of D. M- Parry, before the Citizens In
dustrial Association, was as follows:
The Interests of all classes. Including
those of labor, cannot avoid being in
jured by attempts upon the part of either
government or civil organizations looking
to the arbitrary regulation of industry.
Therefore, eight-hour. anti-Injunction and
National arbitration bills are to be utterly
condemned as being dangerous Innova
tions In government and certain to affect
disastrously the National welfare. There
could be no freedom If only a certain por
tion of the people had the right to con
tract for the sale of their labor or serv
ices. The employer should not be Influ
enced by any other consideration in the
hiring of men than the ability, fitness and
loyalty of the applicant. It Is only by fol
lowing a policy of this kind that merit
can receive Its Just reward and the high
est measure of success be secured In in
dustry. Therefore. It is the plain duty of
the employer to resist to the utmost the
closed-shop demand of organized labor.
"Since it Is his moral duty not to dis
criminate between union and independent
labor, It Is his duty, through organiza
tion, to demonstrate to the general public
that he should not be forced Into becoming
an involuntary party to such discrimina
tion. I do not believe that the general pub
lic will support organized labor In Its ef
forts to compel the employer to become its
business agent, for such he would become
If he be forced to refuse employment to
men because they do not belong to the
union. The leaders of organized labor
will be relieved of a great deal of the bur
den of maintaining the membership of
their organization If the employers could
be compelled to keep up this membership
for them. Therefore, in not resisting the

Japan's Anger Is Subsiding.
TOKIO. Feb- 22. The news of the escape
from death of the crew of the Nakanoura
Maru was received In Tokio with satisfac
tlon and perceptibly lessens the feeling of
bitterness toward the Russians on account
of the sinking of the ship.
A prisoners' intelligence bureau has
been created, and regulations regarding
the treatment of prisoners of war have
been published. The Toklo Government,
It is understood, has anticipated the ne
cessity of soon providing for the care of
Russian prisoners.

Engineer Will Be the
Lucky Man.
OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, Feb. 22. It is riot yet positively
determined what Pacific Coast man will
become a member of the Isthmian Canal
Commission. The President offered this
appointment to John Garber, a mining
attorney of San Francisco, and while It
is sure he has declined, nothing
could be gained officially when the offices
closed tonight. California men say Mr.
Garbers private interests are large and

President Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, had a conference today with
the President regarding the acceptance
by Alfred Noble, the distinguished en
gineer long connected with the Penn
sylvania system, of a -place on the com

Mr. Noble has direct supervision of
many of the great engineering projects
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, including
the tunnel under the North River at New
York. Quite naturally the Pennsylvania
officials do not care to relinquish the
services of Mr. Noble.
In his talk with tho President, Mr.
Cassatt Indicated that feeling to him, al
though he docs not wish to stand in the
way of the Government securing Mr.
Noble's services. Thus far Mr. Noble

answer Is expected in a day or two.

De Young and Chester A. Rowell, of

He wants a civil engineer, and it is re

FULTON BILL MAY GO OVER.
Bailey, a Stickler for State's Right,
Blocking Salmon Measure.
OKEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash

Texas, adheres to the position he took a
few days ago. Senator Fulton Willi have
to postpone the consideration of his
salmon bill, until the general pure food
bill comes before the Senate. When
Senator Fulton called tin his bill, which
prohibits the shipment? from one state to
another, or from the United States to a
foreign country of any misbranded
salmon. Senator Bailey objected to hav
lng the bill considered as a separate
measure.
Bailey, as is well known, is a great
stickler for state's rights, and will go to
any extreme to prevent legislation which,
In his opinion, gives the General Govern
ment authoritly to control any act which
should be left In the control of the state.
Bailey insisted that Senator Fulton's bill
was on the lines of the oleomargarine bill.
passed In the last Congress. Like that
bill, ho insisted, that it gave the General
Government authority to interfere and
prevent fraud which could be controlled
and ought to be controlled by state legis

of allowing the misbranding of any art!
cles of food, but he thought the states
ought to protect their own dealers, and
the General Government should not in
terfere. Unless Bailey changes his mind,
Senator Fulton's blU will probably have

CATARRH
Catarrh, is not only a most disgusting and offensive
malady, but when allowed to continue,
tional. The foul secretions and mucous matter are
absorbed into the blood, and the whole system becomjes
infected with the catarrhal poison,
by inhalations, sprays, washes, powders and salves. Only
a remedy that enters into the circulation and cleanses and
purifies the polluted blood, can cure Catarrh after it gets
