THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1900. HON EST Y COSTS win iu HARD GASH Neglect to Boom His Stamp Sales and Loses $1000 Salary Increase. FALLS SHORT OF LIMIT Discovery of Error In Calculation Shows Portland Postal Receipts $2031 Short of $500,000. Advance Sure Next Year. OR EGONI AN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, Aug-. 3. The acting Postmaster-General today aenc a. letter to Postmaster Minto at Portland inform ing him that he would not receive the Increase in salary from $1000 to $5000 recently promised, because, upon checking up, it was found that the re ceipts of the Portland office did not quite reach 1500,000. On the original count the receipts of the Portland office for the past fiscal year were cal culated at J618.000, but it developed later that 121,000 of this amount came from another office and did not prop erly belong to roruana. nia i"o i"s lnal figures been correct and had the receipts of Portland exceeded half a million, Mr. Minto would have been promoted from $4000 to $5000, but it develops that the Portland receipts actually lacked $2031 of being half a million, hence Mr. Minto must be paid on the same basis as if receipts were only $400,000. . ; A high official of the department, in commenting on this situation, said that '"Minto must be an exceedingly honest man or a great chump," for, had he bestirred himself and sold an extra $2000 worth of stamps before July 30. his salary would have been raised Just $1000. Having failed to evail himself of this opportunity Mr. Minto must swallow his disappointment and see to it that the receipts of his office pass the $500,000 mark by June 30, 1907. If he can do this, his salary will be automatically raised $1000, for postmasters' salaries are regulated by law and promotions are based entirely upon postal receipts. It has been a common practice among some postmasters to force the sale of stamps for the sole purpose of having their salaries Increased. Mr. Minto s failure to do so when the receipts were bo rear the promotion mark is con sidered by the department a testimo nial to his Integrity. New Rural Carriers. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington.

BLOCKADE CHECKS TRADE (Continued From Page 1.) Independent steamer, which charged him 45 cents a 100 pounds, whereas the through rate to which he was entitled on the Harrlman line was but 224 cents. One of the most prominent wholesale grocers in Portland, Henry Hahn, of Wadhams & Co., declared that his in ability to get freight from California by boat compelled him to resort to rail ship ments, - which, besides being uncertain in time of arrival, cost between 50 cents and $3.20 a ton more than Seattle Jobbers were paying the Pacific Coast Steamship Company for the same kind of freight from San Francisco. As a result, he could not compete in distributive trade with his Seattle rivals, and this was the situation with other Portland Jobbers, ffte same as with him. " "Since the Harrlman people are respon sible for the tie-up on the water," said he, "they ought to allow us their rail line at water rates, until they have steamers running again in sufficient number to handle the business. Nor Is the rail serv ice equal to what we should have. Today we received a carload of salt, which left San Francisco July 1717 days ago. We also received a carload of bluestone that lay here in the terminal yards since July 29 five days. When cars are on the road we can't tell where they are nor when we shall get them and telegraphing does us no good. As things stand we can get shipments from Chicago quicker than from San Francisco." The delay on the Southern Pacific rail road men attribute, not to lack of motive power, because, as W. E. Coman, general freight and passenger agent of the South ern Pacific and O. R. & N.. said yester day, there are more locomotives on the road than last year, but to the fact that the sidings are full of cars and switching Is slow and difficult. Mr. Coman said that as for shipments from Oregon points to points In California other than Oak land and San Francisco, the Southern Pa clfic was in good shape to handle any business, and that It was filling orders for cars promptly. Complains of Poor Terminal Service, I. Lang, of Lang & Company, com plained not only of the lack of rail and water facilities with California, but with Northern points also, and of delays In the terminal yards. He had been trying for three weeks, he said, to get a car at Vancouver for lumber on the Northern Pacific. In the terminal yards it was com mon for cars to be held from three to five days after arrival. His firm could not de pend on the Harrlman water route either as to the amount of freight it would re ceive or as to date of sailing, and his firm, therefore, had to carry larger stocks In order not to be caught short by do layed shipments. F. H. Ransom, of the Eastern & West ern Lumber Company, said that after waiting three weeks with a standing order on the Northern Pacific for six to eight cars, his mills had received two cars The shutting off of rail shipments of lumber to San Francisco and the scarcity of cars for other California points, he aid, had caused his mill to look to for elgn markets for its output The inadequacy of the steamship serv ice is brought closer home to shippers. said a representative of a large Jobbing firm, by want of adequate wharfage. His firm had received from the Orient 250 tons of sulphur, on one of the Harrlman vessels. ro wnari readied Dy a car switch could be found for It on the West Side of the river, and finally the sulphur was unloaded on Alaska dock. To remove It will cost 40 cents a ton cartage. This man complained that the Harriman lines have not enlarged their wharfage In Portland to keep pace with the city's growth. Looking Forward to Relief. With the release of the 7000 cars in the blockade at San Francisco and Oakland, undoubtedly will come relief to Portland shippers and this they are looking forward to. The promise of two more steamships on the Harrlman ocean line to San Fran cisco appeases them somewhat, but they are awaiting its fulfillment. The assur ance of larger terminals to be built by the Portland & Seattle for Hill's North ern connections, between Tenth and Twelfth streets, Hoyt and the river and along the river below the city toward Swan Island bridge and by the Harrlman lines at Guild's Lake, gives shippers hope of enlarged terminal facilities sometime In the future. Meanwhile their business is greatly hampered. ' BEARD'S CANCER CURE. If Effectual, It la of Great Impor tance to Human Race. - PORTLAND, Or.. July 81. (To the Editor.) Every little while some unwise enthusiast such a personage as "Josh Bllllnts" said "be lieves twice as mnch .as he can prove and can prove twice as much m anyone else will believe" or his not less unwisely enthuBlastlo friends, give to the publlo their half-digested discoveries, often with the final result of pub lic disappointment, ridicule and after tem porary notoriety, oblivion. In no matter of pnbllo interest do these happening occur more frequently than to medicine, especially In the announcement of cures for tuberculosis of the lunge and cancer. n, Kihv' announcement of the work done by Professor Beard In the cure of cancer by the pancreatio ferments-known to physiologists as "trypsin" Is as -startling to the medical profession u the fact that cancer may do cured is to the laity. It la not only a start line; announcement to the medical profession, but one that must result in Immediate and widespread interest of a hopeful nature, for Professor Beard is an eminent blogollst and embrvoloKlst. DoessHsed of all the conservatism of the scientific Investigator, about whom there can be absolutely no suspicion of a desire ior notoriety or a tendency to promulgate undi gested conclusions or half truths. There is nothing new In Professor uearas theory of the cancer, that It la not caused by the invasion of the body, either by a bac terium or protozoon, but is the result of em bryonic cell, cell as old as those of the body Itself, that somehow escape absorption and later readtly develop into malignant growths. Thb) opinion has been held by many biologists, but Profeesor Beard has evidently proved It by years of careful observation with the microscope. It Is not in the question of the causation of cancer, however, that the public is inter ested, but in Its cure; and there seems to be nothing complicated or peculiar In the method announced by Dr. Saleeby. It Is simply the digestion of the cancer cells In edtu by trypetn. which is injected directly into the cancer cell mass in solution. Dr. Saleeby speaks of the occasionally un toward effects of Injecting trypsin Into the cancerous mass, resulting. In Dr. Beard's opinion, from eomev polonoua product of diges tion being absorbed, probably an alcohol; but trypslc digestion that la, the digestion, of an albuminous substance, such as composes the cancer cells cannot produce an alcohol. Dr. Beard has found, he states later, that .If all the pancreatic ferments be employed, there are no symptoms of poisoning. It would seem, however, that there will be other difficulties and dangers in the way of using the pan creatio ferments by injection. Chief among these will be the difficulty of getting an aseptic preparation, an aseptic solution to In ject. It Is well known that the digestive fer ments are very susceptible to the action of all germacldal agents. A temparatun above ISO degrees Farenbelt soon destroys them; so do weak solutions of carbolic add. bichloride of mercury and probably all other agents gen erally used to destroy the various bacteria. Herein would seem to He the greatest danger, the danger of making the ferments Inactive bv attempts at sterilisation or Introducing dangerous germs In solutions necessarily un- sterlllzed. The giving of the pancreatic ferments by the mouth would probably be of no value In the treatment of cancer. Indeed, If such method of treatment should be found effective there could be established a relation between cancer and any disease destroying the normal activity of the pancreas. No such relation has ever been suggested, no constant relation be tween cancer and pancreatic disease. If It should nnaliy be proven that Professor Beard's conclusions are true, his discovery is of immense Importance, as important as vac cination or the discovery of germs as the cause ot disease.

One more step in the litigation over the Oyster Bay wa terfront was taken today when Town Constable MacQuade - served restraining papers issued by the Town Board on the proprietors of the four estates on which piers and walls were destroyed yesterday. The order forbids the rebuilding of the piers. Lewis C. Tiffany was stopped in his automobile on his way to New York that the service could be served. Fred L. Coudert and George C. Maxwell were served as they entered the club car on the New Yor train. Mr. Coudert said he would bring a damage suit against the town. The caretaker of the J.

HIS PARTY LEAVES HOUSE Bill Exempting Labor Unions From Damage Claims Has Stormy Pass age Through House Govern ment Escapes Defeat. LONDON, Aug. 3. The trades dis putes bill, which is a direct outcome of the Taffvale decision that trades union funds are liable for the illegal acts of Individual members of a union. nassed the committee stage in tne House of Commons this morning, and was reported to the house amid minis terial cheers. Considerable excitement occurred in the debate, during which several amendments adopted by the government Vere defeated by narrow majorities, in one case the government being saved from defeat by a lew Unionist votes. There was a somewhat extraordinary crm after Tnldnltrht. following; Prime Minister Campbell-Bannerman'g refusal to accent Lord Robert Cecil s motion to report progress. Lord Robert saying that the Prime Minister naa pieageu himself that the debate should not con tinue after 11 o'clock. When the motion was defeated by a government majority of 212, Mr. Bal four accused the Prime Minister of deliberately breaking his pledge. He declined to take lurtner pari in mo proceedings and invited his followers to leave the house. .The invitation of the ex-Prime Minister was accepted by all of the three score members of the opposition present, amid ' ironical Ministerial, Nationalist and Laborflfe cheering. A few of those who left the chamber returned subsequently, but the front opposition bench remained empty and several Liberals and Radicals took seats on it amid Radical cheering. The debate then proceeded witnoui interest to its close. In nlace of the clause in the original bill exempting the funds of a union from damages when Illegal acts have been com mitted with the authority of the union, a clause was adopted giving a trades union whether of workmen or employers. complete immunity from claims for dam ages for illegal acts committee, during u. strike. f GREAT EXPOSITION BURNED Three Immense Buildings at Milan Destroyed Loss Is Millions. MILAN,. Italy. Aug.' 3. Fire which broke out here this morning in the Inter national Exposition did extensive dam age. The sections devoted to the decora tive arts of Italy and Hungary were de stroyed, as also was the pavilion in which were installed the exhibitions of Italian and Hungarian architecture. The dam age is estimated at J800.000. The fire was discovered at 5 o clock tni3 morning in the Hungarian section, and spread rapidly to the art sections, situ ated in an adjoining park. For a time the British, Swiss, Japanese and Neth erlands' sections were threatened, but by energetic work the firemen succeeded in saving them. The Jewelry and line arts sections also were threatened, but a large force of carbineers carried the pic tures, many of them of almost priceless value, from the Gallery of Fine Arts into the corridors of sections beyond the fire xone. At noon the fire was under con trol. The fire is attributed to an electric short circuit. The authorities reject the theory that the conflagration was of In cendiary origin. The scene of the conflagration was tne center of the most active portion of the exposition. The Palace of Decorative Arts Is a mass of ruins. The architec tural pavilion, which was also destroyed, contained many exhibits of historic value. Including the original model of the dome of the Cathedral of Milan, many original documents referring to Milan's famous scientist, Volta, relating to Voltaic elec tricity and numerous documents refer ring to Napoleon I. Although the Fine Arts Pavilion was saved, many fine paintings were dam aged, being splashed by mud and water, while the firemen were hastily carrying them to places of safety. Owing to the value of some of the ex hibits destroyed, the loss is now estimat ed at 32.000,000 to $3,000,000. The committee has decided immediately Mo rebuild the burned edifices and has called on the exhibitors for their co-op eration. No American exhibits were in Jured by the fire. SUFFRAGISTS IN DENMARK.

KAISER DREADS RED PERIL Says It Threatens Heads of Both Re publics and Monarchies. PARIS. Aug. 3. The Matin today pub lishes an interview had by its Berlin cor respondent with Emperor William, In which His Majesty said that the Yellow Peril was not the sole danger threatening the world, there also being the red dan ger. "The heads of states," the Emperor added, "whether of absolute or constitu tional monarchies or republics, hourly risk their Uves. President Fallleres runs the same risks as the Czar, and Presiden Roosevelt the same risks as King Al fonso. Those aiming at the abolition of all authority and order by governments are thoroughly agreed, while ' those charged with the duty of making order respected are unfortunately disagreed. The correspondent says that at the Kiel regatta the Kaiser noticed that the French armored cruiser Leon Gambetta was not present. The warship had been Invited to be present during the regatta. and he said to the French naval attache "It is a pity the Gambetta 13 absent. Come, come, I know what this means. We are still suspected and are kept In punishment." The Kaiser enforced his remark by a genial laugh. , Speaking to another French naval of ficer, the Kaiser said: "It Is freely re ported that I am pleased when I learn KRUPP IS SHORT OF WORKMEN Sends Agents to France and Belgium to Recruit Them.

There is a shortage of help in the great Krupp Iron Works at lessen, and agents of the company are canvassing Belgium and France for workers, since January last the Krupp Company has increased the number of its employes by 20,000, giving them the highest wages paid in Europe, but many ot those engaged in Russia and Austria have proved to be deficient in skill. Belgian mechanics are reluctant to emigrate to Essen, because it is hard for them to understand the orders of fore men, and many French workmen de cline to go to Germany. The metal in dustry in the Ruhr district of Prussia has never before In its history been so prosperous as It Is now. PAIMA SUPREME IN HAVANA Ills Candidate Elected Mayor in the Face of Bitter Opposition. HAVANA, Aug. 3. The City Council appointed by President Palma has elected Julio De Cardenas Mayor of Havana. This is in accordance with the wishes of the President. This result was obtained only after long discussion. Seven or the most radical of the Moderate aldermen refused to participate and resigned be cause of their opposition to DeCardenas. The new Mayor is a conservative Mod erate, not radically partisan. The claim is made that the city gov ernment, though nominally largely Mod erate, will now be essentially non-par tisan, and it is believed that in the fu ture it will be largely under the influence of the President of the Republic, Instead of that of the Governor of the province. as heretofore.

Order About Rural .Routes Bars Wood. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington. Aug. 3. Postmaster General Cortelyou's order, which goes into effect on August 1, permitting patrons of rural delivery to make their own boxes or to have them made to order, provided such boxes are so con structed as to fall within the require ments of the department, seems to have been misunderstood. Misleading com ments have appeared stating that farm ers can now whittle down their wood en boxes to make a rural mall post box in any way they choose. The order of the Postmaster-General provides exactly the contrary. All boxes must be made of galvanised sheet iron or sheet steel of certain specified dimensions. Wooden boxes are regarded as neither secure nor weather proof within the requirements of the department and all sucn boxes now in use will be gradually elimi nated from the service. WATERS 0F OREGON. Work of Gauging Streams of the State Begins. nnirnnwTiM URWfl TiTTRTOAU. Wash ington, Aug. 3 In co-operation with the State Engineer, the Hydrographic Office of the Geological Survey has at last en tered upon a thorough study of the water resources of the State oi uregon wnn a. nia tsi Hnturmlninr' the amount of water available for irrigation and power pur poses, i ne stuay win mciuuu a. hensive investigation of tne unaergrouuu watcra nf TTlnHtArn OreETOn.

There will be some study of water power prospects east of the Cascades as well, for there is a growing demand for electricity as that section of the state develops. It is needed, not alone in the towns but will be a necessary adjunct to the utilization of the underground water for irrigation purposes and later will be needed in enlarging those irri gation systems which at first will reclaim only land lying under low-line canals. With this superabundance of power going to waste, the Government enginers believe it is time to interest the people In the wealth that lies within their reach. The bulk of Government work In East ern Oregon, however, will be confined to the study of streams and underground waters, to determine how much water is available for irrigation. A satisfactory report cannot be made on these Investi gations in a single year. It is necessary to conduct stream measurements for a series of years, in order to ascertain . , - iniIIR, oa won as the maximum discharge of streams in seasons when water is scarce, as well a3 seasons when it is plentiful. Government irrigation , K.iiit tn utilize the minimum flow of streams, unless it is decided to maintain storage works to tide over low seasons. The same rule must apply to private irrigation. For this reason the Government will not be able to complete stream measurements this season, except on those streams where gauging has been carried on for a number of years past.

The manufacture of paper from the fiber of the cotton stalk is one of the latest inventions which are said to have passed the experimental stage. It is as serted that all grades of paper, from the best form of linen to the lowest grade, can be manufactured from cot ton stalks. In addition to this, a variety of by-produots, such as alcohol, nitro gen, material for guncotton and smoke less powder can also be secured in pay ing quantities. Mills for the use ot cotton stalks in that way may become general in the cotton-growing states. It is estimated that on an area of land producing a bale of cotton at least one ton of stalks can be gathered. Upon this basis, from 10,000,000 to 12,- 000,030 tons of raw material could be secured for the production of paper which would increase the value of the South's cotton crop nearly $10,000,000. Value of Autos Marches On. Harper's Weekly. More than 34,000,000 worth of auto mobiles was brought into the United States during the fiscal year ending with the last week of June, and more than 13.000,000 worth was exported during the same time. Figures of our foreign commerce in automomies snow the value of automobiles Imported in the 11 months ending May to have been 33.532.244. and of parts thereof, 1378,- 389, while exports thereof during the same months amountea to sz.sm (.(-is. Meantime the manufacture of automo biles in the United States has amount ed to presumably more than (26,000,030, since the bureau of the census nas re cently issued a preliminary statement which shows the value of automobiles manufactured in the United States In 1905. at 326, 645,064.

SUMMER ILLS The many ills that come during the hot, sultry weather can be avoid ed by Duffy V Pure Malt Whiskey, taken regularly as prescribed. The exhausting heat of the Summer weather causes untold suffering and misery to thousands of men, women and children. Deaths occur on all 6ides from diarrhoea, dysentery, chills, cholera morbus, typhoid and other fevers, due in a great number of cases to impure water and the con sumption of unripe fruits by those whose systems and stomachs are not in a healthy condition. If all were more careful to have their systems in a vigorous condition the germs of these diseases could not obtain a foothold. Leading doctors agree that Duffy's Pure Malt Whis key has no. equal as a destroyer of poisonous germs in the system. It aids digestion and assimilation; puri fies and enriches the blood; regulates the bowels; quiets the nerves; hard ens the muscles; stimulates the heart's action and builds up and sus tains the entire system. Duffy's PurcMalt Whiskey can be retained by the most delicate stomach, as it is a food already di gested. It is also absolutely pure and contains no fusel oil, and is the only whiskey recognized as a medicine. All druggists and grocers or direct, $1 per bottle. Duffy Malt Whiskey Co., Rochester, N.vY.
