NEW YORK, Oct. 2- Dittenhoefer,
Gerber, and James, acting as attorneys
for stockholders in the distillers Secur
ities Corporation, announced yesterday
that their clients are about to enter
protest against plans said to be tinder
consideration by the management of the
Distillers' Securities Corporation for
the formation of a new company to
develop the business of manufacturing
denatured alcohol under the privileges
accorded in the recent act by which the
tax 'on denatured alcohol , is to be re
moved after January 1 next. Presi
dent Rice of the Distilling company,
refused yesterday to affirm or deny the
purpose of the management of the com

certain that nothing would be done det
rimental to the interests of the stock
holders.
According to the information said to
have been obtained by the stockholders
represented by Dittenhoefer, Gerber and
James, it is the purpose of the distill
ing company management to form a
new corporation, with $6,000,000 of pre
ferred stock and $12,000,000 of com

ers purpose, they say, if their protest
to the company is not heeled, to bring
an action in the courts.

The steamship Geo. W. Elder will
make her initial trip out of Portland
on the San Francisco, Eureka, Coos
Bay and Astoria run, three weeks from
tomorrow.
The big British steamship Wyneric
is still off the mouth of the Columbia
river-, waiting for the bar to get over
its tantrums incident to the storm of
yesterday.
The sea tug Sea Rover, Captain
Thompson, is still in port, .in attenu
ate upon the ship Two Brothers,
which she will tow hence to San Francisco.
The steamship Barracouta is due in
from San Francisco some time today,
with a big lot of freight for this port
and Portland.
effect upon the national Democracy a
there would have been had Mr. Hearst s
victor? been a clean-cut and straight
forward one.
Ten days ago there was hardly a dl
sent from the opinion that a Hearst
victory In New York would be bound
to color the next national Demcratlc
platform. That possibility ts now re
irarded as a thinsr of the nat, Mr.
Hearst's deal with Tammany anil Mr.
Bryan's revised attitude on government
ownership having reduced the moral ei
feet to the minimum. Should Mr
Hearst be elected governor and should
his partnership with Tammany remain
unbroken, he might be able, under the
unit rule, to control the New York
delegation to the national convention j
but there Is little likelihood that he
and Tammany will continue to tram
together. Without Tammany he could
not have been 'nominated for governor,
and without Tammany he cannot cap
ture the nntloil convention delega
tion. Should Mr. Hearst be defeat
ed in November, the incident of hi
nomination will have been forgotten by
1908.
Developments in Cuba, of course,
have been the chief things of Interest
this week, even overshadowing the New
York convention. Senator Beveridge's
declaration that if the American flag
goes up in Cuba it will not come down
has been severely criticised in admin
1st ration circles, not because of the
truth of the prophecy is doubted, but
because it was a bad time to tell the
truth. No one denies, that Mr. Roose
Telt and kr. Taft have tried sincerely
and earnestly to settle the Cuban mud
die without violating the sovereignty
of the republic, but it is not generally
believed their hearts were in the
tak. There is in Washington an ov
erwhelming sentiment that Cuba would
make a desirable possession of the
United States, but that she will nev
er be a desirable neighbor.
Should the United States announce
its purpose to annex the island repub
lic, the Cubans would have to ne
whipped, perhaps, but it is not doubted
that eventually they would liecome loy
al and desirable citizens. The people
of Spanish descent in New Mexico and
the Southwest, though clinging tena
ciously to their old customs and the
mother tongue, leave nothing to be de
sired in the matter of their American-"
ism. In many of the parishes of Lou
isiana, after a hundred years under the
American Hag, French is still the dom
inant language, but no one doubts the
Americanism of those French descend
ants. If there is any reason why the
Cubans should not do as well, It is
not apparent at this time.
The political cfTwt ,of intervention,
with ' prospective annexation, furnishes
an, interesting theme tor .speculation.
The prevailing opinion in Washington
is that the country favors annexation,
if it can be done without dishonor, but
that it would not tolerate anything
that smacked of a breach of faith. So
far there have been only words of com
mendation for the manner in which
Secretary Taft has managed the Cuban
affair, but his job is a mighty ticklish
one and tnere is ever present the possi
bility that he may do something that
will blast his political prospects. If
the American flag goes up in Cuba the
manner of its going, of course, will lie
made the subject of debate in Con
gress next winter, and the President
and Mr. Taft will have to show mighty
clean hands if they escape ))emocratic
denunciation.

China to be Scene of Another Great
Outbreak.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2. A cable dis
patch from Cologne, Germany, printed
here today, states that the Voliczet
tung publishes a letter from a corre
spondent in Shantung, China, predict
ing outbreaks, compared with which
the disturbances that occurred in mn
will seem trivial. He says there is
stranue unrest among the people. Trou
ble had already begun in Shantun where
a rebellion has started. The revolters
are plundering villages and driving the
people into the towns. Twenty thou
sand of these armed robbers are now at
Tsianchufu. There have been many
flchts between them and the local
troops. The latter are always beaten.
Another big shipment of the San
Francisco earthquake books have just
arrived at the Astorian office and are
ready for subscribers. Come early and
amid the rush.
