Will Set Forth at Length Some Things Which Are Considered IVslrable for China's Future. NEW YORK. Jan. 13. A dispatch to the Journal of Commerce from Wash ington says: The Instruetnons to Minister Conger atPekln, in regard to the United States In the settlement of the commercial privileges to be accorded foreigners In China In the future, have not m been perfected In detail. Mr. Conger has been advised from .time to time of the desire of this country to secure the broadest possible privileges and io have them equal between all nations, but an effort thus far has been directed chiefly to the latter point and to re straining the hunger of the powers for excessive Indemnities rather than to definitions of what the new privileges shall be. Mr. Conger himself showed a sense of thb Importance and complications of She problem by his request that ne gotiations regarding commerce and in demnities be transferred from Fekin to tome other capital. Some regret is felt at the department of state that this proposal was not more cordially wel comed by the powers, but In the nature of the case It was not a proposition upon which the United States could well Insist If it was not generally ac ceptable. Nothing is known at the state de cartment regarding the reasons why the proposal was rejected by several of the powers beyond the reasons as signed In one case, that more exact knowledge of the situation would pre vail at Pekin. That this argument has some force is frankly admitted, but it is felt that It would be desirable on some grounds to get the negotiations out of the exclusive control of the ministers who suffered so much" during the siege of the legations. As matters stand, the United States will probably strengthen Minister Conger by one or two experts in commercial and financial polities before the negotiations are completed The signing of the protocol by the Chinese envoys is regarded at the state department as only the beginning of a series of negotiations. Several matters fully covered by the protocol can be adiusted In a short time through the action of the military officers in China. Among these matters are the estab lishment of military posts on the route to Pekin and the distribution of lega tion guards hereafter to be kept at the Chinese capital. Even these subjects, simple aa they may appear, are not to be free from friction between the pow ers themselves and between the civilized jvowar nn one side and the Chinese gov ernment on the other. Then will come in settlement of the indemnity and the framing of new com mercial treaties which shall do Justice equally well to the citizens and sub jects of all the powers. The two sub Jects the Indemnities and the treaties will be more or less involved In each ether. The Russian government has ex ecuted a clever flank movement, if the report is true that Russia will offer to accept territorial compensation in Man churia in lieu of money, which has been urged from the beginning by the United States. The proposition that China shall sur render territory is of a different char acter, but It will enable Russia to pose In the attitude of generous forbear ance and friendship to this country. attributed to her In the recent Inter view with DeWltte, who stated that by her apparent compliance with our sug gestion she waived the demand for ex cessive payment In money. Much of the skill and diplomacy which has been required thus far on the part of the United States and the other liberal powers will continue to be demanded in order to carry out firmly to the end the policy of the territorial integrity of China and her protection from demands which It Is believed at the state depart ment are unreasonable. Much care will be given to the Instruc tions to Minister Conger in regard to the commercial treaties. So many ques tions are likely to arise which will de pend so much upon conditions on the ground that It may not be possible to set forth In detail Just what the min ister shall Insist upon. These Instruc tions will set forth at length, however, some things which are considered de sirable for the future development of China by the aid of the citizens and subjects of the civilized countries. Whether there is to be direct Interven tion by the civilized governments or not by way of international control of Chinese finance, it is felt that their subjects should have the largest lib irty In traversing the Chinese empire for. trade purposes, setting up estab lishments without molestation and en- Joying trade between different provinces without being subjected to vexatious and repeated local taxes. ANTI-VICE CRUSADE. Addresses by Rishp Potter and Chair man Baldwin of Committee of Fifteen. NEW YORK, Jan. 13. Bishop Totter presided at a meeting of the C?et-To-gether Club in Brooklyn tonight and In the course of his opening remarks said: "The subject for the evening is "Af ter Suppression What?" and I suppose I must say something as to this title. I confess that If I had the authority of prescribing the subject, I should change It to read 'The Anti-Vice Cru sade; Before Suppression What,' for I have grave doubts as to the Imme diate suppression of vice, and I have met may who are equally doubtful. "We may undoubtedly do a great deal in civic matters and make vice less Indecent, less insolent. The mere suppression is not essential. Nothing has impressed me more during the last three months than the efforts of the metropolis to make Itself a more de cent city." The bishop then read an extract from a newspaper describing the settlement of the east side bakers' strike, and how men stood outside of the strik ers' quarters and shouted to the passers-by that the strike had been settled, and that hereafter the people would get good, pure and clean bread on which union labels had been placed. "'What we want," said the bishop, "is good, pure tenement houses on which the union labels of morality have been placed. The only piece of advice I gave to those who came to me when the committee of fifteen was appointed was that at least two representatives of labor should be placed on the com mittee and that the committee should recognize all classes. We have initia ted this crusade not for the crushing of vice, but for the triumph of vir tue." Bishop Potter then Introduced Wil liam H. Baldwin, chairman of the com mittee of fifteen, who spoke on the subject, "The Committee of Fifteen Its Origin, Scope and Purpose." Mr. Baldwin talked at some length on the congested conditions existing on the east side, and the prevalence of vice there. As to the remedies, he said: "Partisanship would ruin the attempt we are making to reform conditions; any suspicion of part'sanshlp would ruin the movement The greatest mis take we could now make would be to produce anything sensational. My pur pose is to pursue a careful antl business-like policy in handling existing conditions. We should have no false notions that anyone can stop what Is called vice. Our duty is to stop the public trade in vice. "We must clean the streets. Think of the thousands of children here In New York tonight who are not safe. Think of the wives that are in danger. Your own wives and children are at home safe and secure from harm, but the wives and children on the east side are not. I would kill the man who touched one of my children. "The great difficulty we will have In handling the present conditions is that the people soon get tired of these questions and drop them after the first agitation. This time we have got to stay with the problem this year, next year and the year after. Now that we have s'arted the movement, we must keep It up. I believe that the city Is now entering Into an era of virtue and morality and that we will not make the mistake that has been made In re form movements In the past." NAVAL ARCH. Committee Is Selecting Site In New York City. NEW YORK, Jan. 13. The commute on site appointed by the alumni asso ciation of the United States naval acad emy has conferred with the municipal art committee as to the location of the naval arch. Neither the site on River side drive nor that on the Battery was definitely decided upon. Col. Wm. C. Church, of the Army and Navy Journal, said: "We are going to have an arch, no matter what any one says." The arch In all probability will be ex actly like the. one temporarily erected In Madison square and Fifth avenue. The $200,000 already collected will be turned over to the new committee. MATHEMATICIAN DEAD, PARIS, Jan. 15.-Charle- Htrmlte. the mathematician. Is dead, aged 79 years. , ' , i MAYOR WILL GIVE PERMIT. Jeffries- Ruhlln Fight Can Be Hold In Cincinnati. NEW YORK, Jan. 15,-Th Herald says: Whether or not the ouamplonshlp battle between James J,. Jeffries nnJ Gus Ruhlin takes place Ir Cincinnati on February IS depends entirely upon the action of the director of the Saenger test Athletic Association of that city. Mayor Flelshmann, of Cincinnati, said last night that he would certainly Is sue a permit for the contest two days prior to the date of the event. As the chief executive of the Queen City he believe the law gives him the power to sanction or disapprove of a boxing bout. The director of the Saengvrfcst Athletic Association as sured hlg honor that the bout between Jeffries and Ruhlln would be strictly in accordance with the laws of Ohio, Mayor Fleishman!) sold lie believed that the Cincinnati promoters had not made any misrepresentations to him. In explaining the situation In con nection with the proposed bout. May or Flelshiiinn said: "For the last ten years we have had .sparring contest In Cincinnati. These events have been held by athletic clubs In some cases, and in other Instances In our theatres. They were given under permits Issued by the mayor. The law Is that permits may be given to orga nised athletic clubs to hold sparring contests. "In this case a number of prominent merchants, bankers and other leading business men petitioned me for this permit, fox the purpose of liquidating a defMt which had been Incurred In giving a Saengerfest Jubilee In IS??. This permit I promised six weeks ago. There were a number of protests made against permitting the contest. I have stuck to my promise, which I believe to be thoroughly In accordance with the law. A number of attorneys In Cincin nati, however, have taken the opposite stand, claiming that the Saengerfest Athletic Association Is not a du- or ganized athletic club, as defined by the law, and that the athletic club was In corporated for the sole purpose of giv ing this contest. "That is, however, a technicality, and it Is something that I am unable to de cide. There are many precedents to support my position In the matter. "A few days ago I was called upon by the directors of the Saengerfest Athletic Association to issue a iwrnil: at once so that the matter could be tested In the courts. I asked them whether It was their Idea to fontest themselves, to which I received a re ply that that was a matter which they were not at liberty to make public but that undoubtedly a test would be made within twenty-four hours after the per mit had teen Issued. "In the meantime one of their at torney called upon a friend of mine and requested that he use his Influ ence toward Inducing me to issue the permit at once or not at all. He ex plained that on account of the contro versy that had arisen the directors were anxious to get out of the diffi culty and that this way would be sat isfactory. "At the meeting the following day I Informed the committee that I had ori ginally agreed to Issue the permit for the purpose of giving a contest to help raise the deficit. As It now appears to me, they wanted the permit Issued at once. In order to kill the project, and permit -were not Issued for that pur pose. "My position In the entire matter Is this: "I will Issue a permit for the contest two day before It is scheduled to take place. There Is no reason why I should Issue it before then. If my permit Is good today it will be good then. When I left home I read In the papers that the Saengerfest Athletic Association had decided to go ahead with their ar rangements. What may have transpir ed since my departure I do not know. You will understand that under the law I have only the right to give a permit for a sparring exhibition." COUNTERFEITERS' DEN RAIDED. Counterfeiter and Three Bags of Spurious Coin Secured. CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Detectives raided a counterfeiters' den at No. 348 West Lake street at midnight last night, captured J. P. McGarry, the supposed leader, of the band, and secured three bags of spurious coin, with a complete outfit for manufacturing It. For six months the federal authori ties and the police have been searching for the gang, which has been operat ing extensively throughout the city. Thousands of dollars In counterfeit half dollars, quarters and dimes have been passed. FAMOUS POLITICIAN DEAD. Was the First to Propose the Name of Abraham Lincoln for the Presi dency.

Jan. 10,-tEdl- tor Astorlan. The Oregonlun Is a great and strong newspaper. It Is the newspaper of Oregmi, but Is not Its real value t) the state a debatable ques tion? Has not Its Influence on the whole been agulnst progress? It must take a great share of the blame for the fact that Washington Is to huve a larg er delegation In congress than Oregon. A little matter will Illustrate the Ore gonlan's patriotic temperament. In th' magnificent congressional library locat ed In Washington Is a large depur' ment devoted to current periodicals from the world over. One can go here and read the big newspapers of this and other countries. The Seattle I'ost Intelllgencer Is there, the Victoria Colo nist, the Examiner, Chronicle and Cull of San Francisco, but no Oregonlan. Our state Is represented by the Salem Statesman and Pendleton East Oregon lan. Why? Because the ilhrarlan cannot with the appropriation made pay for all the newspapers published, and those published In this country do 'not get paid for the copies they send. All the larger papers of the country are on file, Just the same, except the Oregonlun. Its motto Is "cash." Were the Oregonlan not the Oregon lan, its attack upon the Oregon dele gation In congress because of the pend ing river and harbor bill would be be wildering. For what more could Port land desire or expect? The Oregon lan' demands upon the delegation are endless. The Oregonlan gives the dele gation fits. Glance at some river and harbor history. At the last session of the laxt con gress when the delegation consisted of Senator McBrlde and Representatives Tongue and Ellis the river and harbor bill contained a provision authorizing the secretary of war to cause a survey of the mouth of the Columbia river and a project to be drawn with a view to securing a depth of forty feet of water, tog.-ther with an estimate of the cost, and his recommendations as to the advisability of the work. It ulso con tained a provision for similar step In the Columbia and Willamette rivers with a view to secure a depth of twenty-five feet from Portland to the mouth of the Columbia river. Survey were made, plans were submitted, an esti mate of cost wm mad, nd these pro. ject were recommended.

While It doe not authorise the i'ontai t from Portland to the mouth of the Columbia, river, the ppioprln;lon of $.'J0,tKHI Is specified to bo for "lm- provement In accordance with the Ap proved project." This Is a specific en. ilomoment by congress of the project providing for a twenty-tlvo foot chn nul from Portland to the mouth of the CohimUu river, at a cost of nearly I3.1MHVS00.

" The people of Oregon doubtless prop. erly appreciate the highly MUcceSHful efforts of Mr. Tongue, who, as a high ranking member of the committee, wu chiefly Instrumental In securing the lib eral Oregon Items, and those of Mr. Moody, who gave Mr. Tongue his cor dial support. But the chief pucr of the state not only withhold It praise but actually condemns, not the results but the delegation. It says "give honor to whom honor is due; the consideration Oregon has re ceived 1 due to the efforts of the Wash ington and Idaho dob-gallons." This Is ubsolule fiction. Not a word did a Washington or Idaho member spcok or write In favor of a single Item on the bill credited 1 Oregon.
