THE MORXrSO OREGOXTAT. FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1911. (MISTS RAISE BANNER OFREVOLT Austen Chamberlain Hailed at Halsbury Dinner as Future Premier.

The Uaer of re volt asratnst present pertjr leadership wu rald tut ntsrht at the dinner for tbe Earl of Haisbary. wMch the extremists amonr the I'nlonlsts In tended should be a demonstration of tbalr strvastn. Several hundred Union let peer. t'niontst member vjf the Hon of Common and party worker cheered the policy of resistance. The Earl of He 1 borne, who Is credited wttn beln a candidate for leader of the opposition la the House of Lords, presided. The younger Vnlontets anJ tariff re formers composed U-.e bulk of the com pany. A letter from Joseph Chamber lain was read. In which he said: "I bearti'y support the object of the me Use The country owes a great !ebt to Lord Halsbnry. since. In this rrls.e of Its history he has) refused to surrender bis principle" Lord Trustees) of People. The Carl of Be looms said the House of Lords were trustees of the people for their powers and rtfhts under the constitution. He concluded. amid cheers: -Our duty Is to stand by the amend ments unless and until w are out otd. "The division In our party Is on the single Imuo of the creation of peeem. When that Issue Is past, the party will close Its ranks and right for the restor stion of tie constitution and repeal the paim act." Lord Halebory received a great ova tion. He said that Lord Lansdowne had declared that If the bill passed, no In stitution would' b safe, neither the crown nor the constitution. Irlsb L'nloa. the church, nor political liberties. Au:a Chamberlain made a stirring speech. When he had lints hed there were cries of: "The future ITlme Min ister." A reference to Premier Asqulth was greeted with shouts of "traitor." Balfour Proves Sagacity. The final solution of the political crisis Is uncertain, but It may safely be assumed Bow that Balfour and Lans downe wt;i remain as leaders of the Vnlonlet party. Mr. Balfour, at one of the most serious crisis of his) career, has again proved himself an astute leader. No sooner waa his lettex affirming his in tention to stand or fall by Lord Lans downe published than vthe Incipient motlny collapsed. Organisers of the Halsbury banquet tumbled over each other to repudiate any disloyalty to Mr. Balfour. A list was published last night of mere than 230 peers who by letter declare them selves supporters of Lord Lansdowne's policy snd ready to allow the Parlia ment bUI to pass, under protest. The exact number of peers adhering to the Earl of Halsbnry Is not known, but It Is believed will not exceed 139. A, however. Lord Lansdowne's present Intention Is merely to abetala and not vote for the bill when K la returned to the Lords.' the Insurgents could de feat It unless the government create sofnetent peers or Lord Lansdowne de-rt-les to vote for the bill, which Is con sidered exceedingly Improbable.

Henry Bernstein, the playwright, fought another duel today as the outcome of riots Insti tuted by the members of the Royalist organisation, known as -the "Camelots du Rot." at the Comedle Fraccalse, which eventually forced Bernstein's play. "A p res Mo I." off the stage. He was to have met the Royalist Lacour. who la now serving a three yrars term of Imprisonment for attack ing ex-Premler Brland. but the Gov ernment refused to grant permission to Lacour to leave the JaU. even tempor arily, to carry out this engagement. Maurice Pujo, another-jJtoyallet and member of the "Camelots du Rot." of which Leoonr la vice-president, took the bitter's place. The duel, which was with swords, was rapid and exciting. Bernstein scratched the forearm of Ms adversary twioa, and waa himself slightly wounded In the arm by Pujo. The seoonds stopped the duel at the seventh bout.

In session last night, that the sewer shall be laid at once on Sandy boulevard, the double tracks put down and the street paved ss soon as It can be done, and also that the district la opposed to the parking of the center, a proposed by the Portland Railway, Light Power Company.

When Socialists from Branch 1. which had expelled Stephen Wing Tuesday, offered their literature for l a mon w the bvstandera at Third .and Alder streets Wednesday night. Wing took down Bis sign and departed. -I wn't give a penny to the support of that grafting association." were his farewell words. Immediately after he had gone a chair was obtained from a nearby sa loon and several men who professed to know Wing Rave Impromptu speeches, in which the mildest terms they ap plied to him were "grafter" and "traitor." Meanwhile the Socialists con tinued to take advantage of the crowd assembled to sell their literature. Oce man. haranguing from the chair.

Policemen who had been present during Wing's speech remained with the crowd to prevent the disorder as suming serious proportions. that the oi ty has full polios powers on the fasady boulevard and can pave the street waa read at the meeting. It waa said that the setting apart of any particular space for the use of the street railway would not be legal without the waiver of all property owners. " F. L Fuller, superintendent of the street railway company, explained 1 the wtahea of tha company la regard to parking and paving the center of the street with crushed rock, and answered questions, asserting that this plan would be better for the district and the company, bot tbe plan was not favored. A large committee waa ap pointed to wait on Mayor Rushlight and urge that the Bandy branch of the Sullivan's Oulch be laid at once so the street may be paved this year, and also the committee on pavfg the street was Instructed to urge forward proceedings for the paving of the street.

F RENCH SWINDLERS GET HALF MILLION Business Concerns of High Rating Made Victims of Steel Frauds.. EXPOSURE LONG AVOIDED Men Who Assert Themselves to Bo Co ants Once Abandon Game, bat It Is Too Good to Let Pie, and Is Revived. NEW TORK. July' 27. An offer of $5000 reward will be sent broadcast over the country today by the Swed ish Iron ft Steel Company, of New Tork and New Orleans, for evidence that will convict two or more alleged swindlers of a fraud by which it is charged 1500,000 has already been cleaned up and which Is still flourish ing. For seven years the swindlers known to the trade as the "two French swindlers" have been preying upon steel importers, a body of men who an nually bring into the country goods valued at t2S.000.000. to such an extent that salesmen handling imported steel now report that they have difficulty in persuading customers that they them selves represent reputable firms. The victims chosen have been always of high financial rating. They include business concerns of all kinds In New England. Cincinnati. Cleveland. Colum bus, Indianapolis, Brooklyn, New Tork. Buffalo, Lansing. Detroit and Grand Rapids. The Frenchmen, who assert them selves to be counts, began operations seven years ago. but two years ago found It was getting too hot for them. They vanished, but the game was- too good to let die. It had never brought a prosecution or even exposure, and now evidence is rapidly accumulating that it Is being pushed again, either by the two Frenchmen or by close stu dents of their methods. One Passes as Count. The two "Frenchmen." representing themselves aa Count So-and-So, and his secretary, would visit a factory office, pick their way through the shops, com pliment the superintendent on his pro gresslvenees and then solicit sample orders for high-class tool steel made abroad by the Count's father. While the "Count" engaged the su perintendent the secretary would dic tate on the firm's stationery an order for a much larger amount and walk out with a perfunctory signature. The order would be turned over to sup posedly Innocent Jobbers, who would deliver an Inferior quality of steel, worth perhaps t cents a pound, and collect from l to 0 cents a pound. Usually the manufacturer would pay rather than fight In court a transac tion that appeared bona fide. VISITING AN EMPEROR Dozens of Trunks, Flunkies, Soldier Porters and Style. Harper's Magazine. We received the invitation to visit the court of Napoleon III 12 days ago. This gave me plenty of time to order ail my dresses, wraps, and everything else that I needed for this visit of a week to royalty. I was obliged to have about 20 dresses eight day costumes (counting my traveling suit), the green cloth dress for the hunt, which I wa told vii absolutely necessary, sevea ball dresses, five gowns for tea. A professional packer came to pack our trunks, of which I had seven and O had two; the maid and the valet each had one. making all together quite a formidable pile of luggage. As we uw It, on the wagon, drive from the house It seemed an absurdly large amount for only a week's visit. 1 should say there were about B0 or 0 guests who got oft at the station at Complegne. where there were two lan dausone for the Austrian Ambassador, Prince Metternich and Princess Metter nich. and one for the German Ambassa dor. . The 'char-a-bancs, of which there must have been at least 10, were dark green outlined with her, each with four prancing horses whose tails. Jauntily braided with red cords, were tied te the saddles. Each carriage had two postil ions, who looked very trim In their abort velvet Jackets embroidered with gold and covered with endless buttons. The Princess Metternich had 14 trunks and two maids; the Prince had his pri vate secretary and valet and a goodly number of trunks. This will give you an Idea of the amount of baggage. On our arrival at the chateau the Grand Chamberlain received us at the head of the stairs with pleasant cordiality. He waved us toward a hulssler, who, dressed In a black livery with heavy chains around his neck, looked very Im portant. Ha in his turn passed us on to the particular valet allotted to us, who promptly and with great dignity showed us the way to our apartments. Our names were on the doors, and we entered the brilliantly lighted rooms, which, after our Journey, seemed most welcome with their bright fires and cheerful aspect. Tea and chocolate were on the table awaiting us. and I regaled myself while the soldiers (who seem to be the men-of-all-work here) brought In the trunks and the maid and valet were unpacking. BLESSINGS OF CONFLICT Strange Theories Kef lex-ting- on the Aftermath of War. W. Du Ho well a In Harper's Magazine. If we may regard the mixed blessing, or the qualified curse, of war as some thing In the nature of a punishment sent upon an erring people, we must al low thst the effect Is not always one attributable to a logical omnipotence. We have lately seen Russia, so far from profiting by the educational influences of her conflict with Japan, collapsing at first Into anarchy and then rein stating herself In a despotism crueler than before. In Just what measure or manner have her statesmen and women been ennobled by the fighting at Port Arthur, or her people trained In moral courage and self-dlsclpllne by the sink ing of so many of her battleships? In what kind or degree has England been rescued from moral or physical effemi nacy by the Boer War? Which people spiritually profited by the Franco Prussian War: the French or the Prus sians? It Is known that the Germans entered upon an era of corrupting ex travagance after their victory, and It has never been ascertained that France was morally the better for her defeat. It Is believed by fair-minded and well-informed observers that few of our statesmen were noticeably enno bled bv our war for the liberation of Cuba, or the invasion of Mexico, or even by our last war with Great Brit ain., which these States came out of by exactly the same hole they went in at. so far as concerned the contested right of search. The Revolution itself left a long trail of evils behind It, and some of the soldlsrs bred In It, as Burr and Wilkinson? have not remained monu ments of Integrity and nobility In his tory. In the more signal Instance of Benedict Arnold It appears that the en nobling Influences of war may ulti mately miss fire, as It were, and a man of unquestionable heroism and self-devotion, being overtrained in the school of virtue, may turn out a traitor. Peace has been blamed by a great M n.Anu h a i H that we lumuj " " should degenerate morally and physic ally without the tonic of battle. Yet. curiously enough, a blessing was In voked upon the peacemakers, who should be called the children of God, while nothing of the kind was pro nounced concerning the makers of war. TIPPING THE SERVANTS A Bit of Court Life Surrounding- Ka poleon III. Harper's. Before we left Complegne at the conclusion of our visit at the Court of Napoleon II L when we were taking our morning tea. we were Interrupted by the coming In of the major-domo, who handed us a paper. We were not unprepared for this ylsit, as we had been told by' one of the guests ttho had been here before than every one was expected to remain in their rooms until this Important personage had made, his rounds In order to collect the pour bolre. I say the -pourbolre, because what . one generally gives separately Is lumped Into one sum. This paper, which he handed to us almost at the point of his hallebarde, proved to be a 'gia scrltto" receipt for S00 francs our pourbolre! We were rather a subdued party In the train. The conversation mostly turned on the subject of pourboires. The huissler decides the exact amount that each ought to give. For Instance, he knows an Ambassador ought to give 2000 francs. For a Minister of State 1000 francs suffices unofficial people like ourselves cannot bo expected to be out of pocket more than 00 francs. As for the poor nobility of France, they escape with 500! Some were of opinion that It was pleasanter to give en masse in one big sum than to give In driblets, others thought It more satisfactory to hand one's offering personally to the different servants, but we all with one voice voted the of ficious beadle an imposition. G. A. R. MAY CHOOSE SOUTH Coast Xot Likely to Get Assembly Again for Several Years. Portland probably will have to wait several years at leapt for the National encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, according to C. A. Williams, assistant Adjutant-General for the De partment of Oregon. Mr. Williams said last night that Los Angeles probably would obtain the 1912 encampment and that the Pacific Coast could hardly ex pect the convention for several years following. This year's encampment is to be held at Rochester, N. Y, August 21-26. Mr. WTillams said that no arrange ments have been made aa yet for the Portland delegation's Journey to Ro chester. In all probability a soore of Grand Army veterans from Portland will attend the convention. WAR CLOUDS THICKENING Risk Against Great Britain-Germany Clash Go to 1 0 Per Cent at Lloyds. TivTinV Julv 27. At Uovd'a yes terday war risks against hostilities be tween Great Britain ana unniunr within three months rose rapidly from 6 to 8 per cent. In some cases even 10 per cent was paid. Against the risk of war between France and Germany 11 per cent was paid. Mayor Boosts Centennial. Mayor Rushlight addressed a com munication to the Council yesterday In whk-h he urged that Portland residents manifest their interest in the celebra tion at Astoria of the 100th anniversary of the settlement of the Northwest, August 10 to September 9, by visiting Astoria. Particularly, said the Mayor, should patriotic citizens remember Portland day, Angoet 25. -Has LINOCORD Bottonholrs fmnt -' snd bsck.gsi A straight trout close-meeting ef- set thst stay closed Tour: dealer, will supply you. 3 LINOCORD BUTTONHOLE .are muier-to-button and they don't tear pvt. ae o sss vsov. a.T.
