ONLY TARIFF MEN ARE FAYORED Wanhlnnton Congressmen Assist Tongue on Ills Indian "War Veteran.' BUI. WASHINGTON. April 9. President Mc Kinley discussed politics with his Congres sional visitors today, and It Is said that he has kept himself well informed regard Ins the political development? In each state, and is quite well satisfied with the way matters are turning; Senator Fora kor, who returned from Ohio today, as , sured the President that the Republicans in that state are in splendid shape. He declared that the party has never been better prepared for a fight, and that the opposition to the Puerto Rican bill has done no harm. Already the different Sen ators are pushing their political friends for places in the new Puerto Rican gov ernment. The President, It Is understood, desires to pass these places around as much as possible, but they are likely to go to men who helped put through the Puer to Rican blll. ' Help for tfae Indian War BUI. Representative Tongue received some unexpected assistance on his Indian war veteran bill today. The Washington mem bers appeared before the pension com mittee and urged that a favorable report be made on this bill. It was another sur prise to- Representative Tongue, as he did not know of the Intention of the Wash ington nfembers until after the argument had been made. The fact that this bill has not been reported from the commit tee so far Indicates that it will not get a hearing at this session of Congress, al though It Is urged by many other mem bers besides those from the Pacific Coast. Philippine Xerr DlHconraKin-r. The discouraging conditions in the Phil ippines are giving the Republicans a great deal of uneasiness. The Administration hoped that the troops which had been Bent to General Otis would be sufficient to put down the rebellion all over the islands, but it now appears that the guer rilla warfare is just as serious as ever. General Otis and other officers have sug gested that more troops were needed, and it Is well known that if these suggestions are carried out It will be quite a serious blow to the expansion sentiment In the country. The Administration realizes that expansion Is popular, but if more troops are sent It Is likely to cause the people to fear that the Filipino war Is altogether too expensive. Another Black Eye for Quay, Quay got another black eye today, and the indications are that he will have a very hard time before his case Is eettled, and It Is doubtful If it will even then be settled in his favor. It has been noticed on two occasions that reservations were made in the proposed unanimous consent, which would mean that by parliamentary tactics, such as postponing and setting aside final action. It could be put oft In definitely. In the first place. It was s:t aside by Hale, and today hy Aldiich. Both Hale and Aldrlch are supposed to be pledged to vote for Quay on the direct vote, but It Is evident that they Intend to secure postponement If possible. Both are very shrewd parliamentarians and adroit manipulators In the Senate, and as it Is evident they are against Quay, they will make it very bard for him to obtain hie seat. BRABAHT ISOLATED. Ills Force Cot Off From the Main IlritlHh Army. LONDON, April 9. The amazing ac tivity of the Boers southeast and south wcot of Bloemfonteln continues, the Boer commands seemingly coming and goln; throughout as wide a region as the; please, but taking good care not to throw themselves against strong bodies of Brit ish. The retirement of the Irish Rifles front Rouxvllle to Allwal North leaveo General Brabant without communication with the other British forcce. He has 20M or 3M Colonials holding a fine defensive coun try, but he is apparently invested, so fat as London knows. Telegraphic and railroad communlca. tlons with Bloemfonteln are kept up at usual, but nothing comes through for public consumption. Roberto' last message was dated April C, and the last unoftlcia. message bore the date of April S. The absence of news, as usual, disheartens the people and produces a discouraging effect The l&t unofficial message notes that good spirits prevail at Bloemfonteln, and the continual arrival of animals, and tw fresh cavalry regiments. In the Orange Free State, the situation is complex, with scanty material for form. !ng a correct estimate of the situation, and the newspapers, not being In the con. fidence of the managers, are criticising the condition of affairs as they see them. Coex Rnldlns; Parties. MASERU, Saturday. April ..The Boers who were massed last week near Lady brand to the number of 10,009. after seiz ing Thabnnchu, and the Modder River water works, broke up Into strong dlv.s lons and they are now raiding In the south of the Free State, reoccupylrg the small towns which were evacuated by the Brit ish. The Boers' policy seems to be to make rapid movements, with little trans port, looting English farmers and 'store keepers freely for provisions and cutting the communications of the British forces. General Brabant's Colonials are now mostly at Wepener. They are a splendid force, capable of great striking power, and used to cross country riding, and are. able to deal roughly with the Boer com mandoes now roaming about the country. A squadron of Brabant's Horse captured 400 rifles near Wepener. His outpcs.s are reported to be in touch with the Boers, and a fight Is regarded as Imminent. Persistent reports are being circulated that the Boers are preparing to flank the British position at Wepener, and thus to secure entrance Into Basutoland. Such an attempt will be resisted by the Basuto land government, which. It is believed, has made quiet preparations. Meanwhile the approach of the armies to Basutoland produces much excitement among the natives, necessitating the ut most vigilance on the part of the local officials. An Attack on Mafeltlntr. MAFEKING. Tuesday, March ST. New was received yesterday of the advance of the southern relief column. The Boers this morning opened fire at ounrlsc. with seven guns. Including one 100-pounder. This has been the most vigorous bombardment of the season. The Boer siege gun alone has already fired over CO rounds. Under cover of the fire, the Boers advanced to llio northern face of the works, but retired precipitately on coming within rifle range. They also advanced to the southwestern parts, but were repulsed. There was one casualty. The Boers, under Commandant Jan Cronje. are evidently falling back be fore the advance of the southern relief column, and are concentrating with two commandos, who are retiring before Col onel Plumer. In order to make a final ef fort to reduce the town. All the forts and outlying positions are manned, the troops are standing to arms and everybody Is under cover. All are convinced that this is the Boers' last attempt. Many "Wounded at Reddenbnrc. " LONDON, April 10. The Bloemfonteln correspondent of the Times, telegraphing Sunday, says: "Two captured Boers agree that only SO men remained unwounded out of the whole British column captured at Red dersburg. General Gatacre and his staff were fired on from nrtoiir M1 iVmv temporarily occupied Reddensburg. Con slderable movements of troops have oc curred here with the object of preventing a surprise." t i RIVALS CAPE NOME. Ketchikan Miner Has Faith in nil Island. Joseph Hamblet, superintendent of the Sea Breeze quartz mine, who is sojourn ing at the St. Charles for a few-days, says that his portion of the Alaskan coast docs not need to take a back seat, even from Cape Nome, though his Is exclusively a quartz-mine proposition Instead of placer. His miners are down now to a depth of 50 feet, and have cross-cut the lode, which consists of two parallel seams of quartz,, making a thickness of 30 feet, the average assay of which is $10 per ton. The Sea Breeze mine Is situated on the Island of Ketchikan. 465 miles south ot Juneau, and the town that Is springing up around the mines, he thinks, will shortly rival Juneau for commercial importance In Southeastern Alaska. In fact, all north-bound steamers now stop at Ketchi kan, the first port of importance after leaving Seattle. The seashore for a dis tance of eight miles, north ot the Sea Breeze mine is being prospected with suc cess, as the ledges crop out at frequent In tervals, and, on being tapped by shaft or tunnel, prove to be true fissure veins. The Burlesque and Sea Level ledges, near by, are being developed with a view to putting In a SO-stamp mill on each, and Mr. Hamblet Is now negotiating for the purchase of a EO-stamp mill for the Sea Breeze. The quartz veins run between walls of slate and porphyry, and the ore so far uncovered It of the free-milling order. He carries a large specimen of the Sea Breeze rock with him as a watch charm, which shows the composition and value of the ledge. This charm Is about the size of a pigeon egg, and the gold is honeycombed aa through it to the value of about J10. The rock Is so soft that It has been en cased In a basket made of wire gold taken from the mine. If It were not for this guard, the rock would soon crumb!e by contact and leave the golden core be hind It. The force now employed in the Sea Breeze Is composed of white men, he says, and laborers are In good supply. Skilled miners can be procured for $2 60 a day and board, so It Is not necessary to employ Indians, who would rather hunt and fish than mine, anyway. Mr. Hamblet has been developing the Sea Breeze for nearly four years, and has become quite enamored of the cli mate of Ketchikan, which he pronounces mild and equable the year around. He expects to remain in Portland for a few weeks, and then return to the mines, bringing his mining machinery back with him. RICH STRIKE IX THE COLLATERAL. One of the Virtue Group and the Richest Yet Fonnd. BAKER CITV. April 9. A very rich strike was made In the Collateral, one of the Virtue group, today. The strike was made in a drift from the Virtue Into the Collateral, at the 350-foot level, and Is the richest yet found In this property. Quotations of Mining? Stocks. SPOKANE. April B.

Smith, the well-known mining expert, has returned from a visit to the coast of Southwest Alaska, where he has been making an examination of an exten sive copper prcperty for a New York syn dicate who had bonded it from Allen & Lewis. The properly is situated on Albernl Ca nal, where the ore can be dumped direct ly Into steamers and can be brought to Portland for 75 cents per ton. Mr. Smith says a tunnel has been run in 43 feet on a vein which is 18 feet wide, and carries B per cent of copper, and the ore now in sight. It Is estimated, wl 1 yl Id over J1I5, (00 worth of copper. He considers it cer ta'n that the syndicate will purchase the mine, and .says It alone will furnish ore enough to ktcp a gool-stzcd smelter In operation, and will yield Immense proais. D. O. Ml Is has recently purchased a cop per prop:rty within six miles of the one he Inspected, paying I4.0.0CO for It. Mr. Smith rays that Mr. Bradford, the smelter man will certainly arrive here within two or three weeks, and will locate a large smelter here. Irrespective of what Port land may do In the matter. 0 Vacancies In the Army. WASHINGTON. April 9.-At the present time there are 115 vacancies In the grade of Second Lieutenant in the Army. Of these, 8 arc in the infantry arm, 14 in the artillery and 27 in the cavalry. There will probably be a few more places In each, depending upon the result of pend ing examinations for promotion. About half of these vacancies will be filled by this year's graduates from the West Point Military Academy, and half the remain der through the customary examination of noncommissioned officers in the regu lar service. This will leave about 30 vacancies tor civilians, and preference for tnese will be given to young men now serving In the volunteer regiments In the Philip pines and to sons of soldiers killed In the Spanish War. i VVar In Colombia Spreading;. KINGSTON, Jamaica, April 9. Colom bian advices just received here announce that a rebel attack Is momentarily expect ed at Savanlma. It is added that the p'.ace has been prepared for the expected movement, and that artillery has been trained so as to command the harbor. At Cartagena, all Is excitement, owing to the rebels' successes, and a large body of government troops has arrived at Colon to strengthen the garrison there. En Eland's Armored Trains. The magnificent armored trains used by England in her war with the Boers will transport her troops, protect bridges and telegraphic communications In about the same way that Hosteller's Stomach Bit ters drives dyspepsia from the human stomach and then mounts guard that it does not return. The Bitters has won in every case of indigestion, biliousness, liver and kidney trouble for the past 50 years. It a Invaluable at all timet. ME FLOODED COLORADO srrcATiox at acstix is slightly IMPROVED. Matter Are Worse In Southern Texas Railroads Are Paralyzed Fifty Lives Lost. AUSTIN, Tex., April 9. The flosd situa tion here is improved somewhat, hut the reports from points below indicate that the full effect of the immense volume of water is being felt in Wharton and Fay ette Counties, everything oelng Inundated and much loss of property and livestock being reported. In Bastrop County the flcod has caustd much damage, and something like 5) washouts and losses of bridges are repor: ed by the railways. advices from the area surrounding the county seat of Bas trop County are to the effect that there has been some loss ot life among the farm ing class, as their homes were Inundated without warning by the tidal wave, but outside of an unconfirmed report that eight lives were lost, nothing can be learned. In the southern part of this county sev eral persons are missing-, the number rep resenting a family of six Italians, and two negro families, whose houses have been washed away. The river is receding rapidly at this point and above, notwith standing the fact that another heavy rise was reported early this morning on the Concho, IS miles north of here. Reports tonight from La Grande, in Fay ette County, are to the effect that while much of the lower portion of the town Is under water, the property loss Is small. No one Is missing. The International & Great Northern Railway and the Missouri. Kansas & Tex as have been seriously crippled by the floods. The first-named read has had 501 washouts and lost bridges on Us road from here to the Rio Grande. The Mis souri, Kansas & Texas Is likewise a heavy loser, having to abandon much ot Its track altogether and use the International & Great Northern from Taylor to Mllar.o and the Santa Fe track from there to North Texas points. It Is not believed that the damage to the cotton crop will bcof such extent ns has been predicted from some places, as the season Is yet early, and all tho crop can be replanted. The citizens ot this city held a mass meeting today, at which the corsensus of opinion was that it was not feasible to rebuild the dam and power-house, al though no definite action was taken. A proposition was made to the meeting by the old water company, whose plant has likewise suffered from the flocd. that they take all the piping and wiring of the city plant, and such of their apparatus as could be recovered from the wreckage, pay fair value for the same and rejuvenate their plant here and furnish the city with water and light within two weeks. Governor Sayers today gave the city COO out of the flood sufferers fund, to be expended In behalf of the poor of the city who have been made homeless. All such are being well provided for, and there Is no danger of their suffering. SA1V THE DAM FALL. The Collapse Described by an Eye AVltness. SAN ANTONIO. Texas. April 9.-Jeff McLemore, who was an eye witness cf the collapse of the dam at Austin, thus de scribes It: "I was gazing at the great body of water, as It swept gracefully over the crest of the dam. carrying with It acres of drift that parted as It went down the falls. The water over the crtst was mote than. 10 feet In depth, and was rising at the rate ot IS Inches an hour. The fall of the. water was about 40 feet, and the roaring and surging that it produced can be better Imagined than described. It was grand and awe-Inspiring, and nothing. In my opinion, could compare with It except the falls of Niagara. "While thus looking, I noticed a sudden commotion of the water near the center of the dam. For a moment the water seemed to recede, but It was only for a moment. It then shot upward In a tre mendous spout to a height ot 50 feet, and I saw that the dam was giving away. "When the break cccurred. the distance from the crest of the wave, as It rolled over 'the dam to the water below, was about 40 feet. Imagine, then. If you can a body ot water 43 feet In height and of great width and length suddenly released from confinement, and you will have a faint Idea of the scene that I witnessed at the dam across the Colorado River. "Once released from Its confinement, the water subsided rapidly, and then it was seen how the break had occurred. The dam was not toppled over, but Instead, a large section, beginning near the center and extending toward the east bank, was moved bodily down the stream a distance of at least 40 ieet. Another stctlon ex tending to within CO feet of the head gate ot the masonry on the east end was also moved down stream a distance ot 40 or 50 feet. Between these two displaced sec tions there was a gap of about 100 feet, where the dam had camplct;ly disap peared, and It was not long before the sec tion nearest the center also crumbled and disappeared. "Had the remaining displaced section also tumbled down, the power-house, which went down a few hours later, would probably have .been saved. As It was, this section threw a heavy current against Ihe power-house, which eventual ly undermined Jh'e wjst wall of the build ing and caused it to collapse." AT GOXZALES. Loss of Life, Stock and Property on the Lower River Bottoms. GONZALES. Tex., April 9. The flcoi situation here tonight Is not much Im proved, the river having fallen only about four feet since yesterday. There has been great loss to cattle In the river bot toms, and it Is feared a dozen or more lives have been lost. A Bohemian and his wife, panic-stricken, jumped. Into tho turbulent waters. 10 feet deep, and were almost Immediately drowned, when they could have remained In safety. It Ii thought a negro boy Is also drowned, and two Mexicans are missing. Reports come In that a number ot bodies have been seen caught on snags and barbed-wtre fences The river farms are ruined, but the total loss cannot be estimated as yet. The Ar ansas Pass track is blocked for five miles north of here. Several bridges and 10 yards of track are washed away. The last train has come down from Lululng. via Harwood. on the Southern Pacltle tracks. Fifty Llvea Lout. DALLAS. Tex.. April 9. Reports re ceived today from flood sections .how that more than 50 lives have been lost, includ ing those at Austin. 'Many ot the locali ties where lives were lost are off railroad and telegraph lines. Wires In the south ern section arc In a worse condition than ever before. Railroad traffic in the south ern half of the state is abandoned. Fire Travel era Drowned. . SAN ANTONIO, Tex.. April 9.-A report Is current hers that five travelers en camped at the confluence of the Middle Concho River and Kiowa Creek were drowned In the. flood. British War Loan Allotments. NEW TORK. April 9. American sub scribers to the British war loan will pay 15 per cent of their allotments tomorrow. Several of the largest subscribers have already .paid their allotments In full, thereby saving the 2 per cent allowed by the Government on advanced settle ments. It Is estimated roughly that American subscribers hare been allowed $3,000,009 of the bonds, which would re- quire a payment tomorrow of J450.000 If the negotiations were closed on tbe In stallment basis. Tomorrow's payments were all provided for. It is believed, sev eral days ago. so as to allow time for the transmission of the funds to London, where final payment will be made. BRYAN IN SAN DIEGO. Addreaaed a Lnrrre Audience on the Plasa. SAN DIEGO. Cal.. April 9. All San Di ego and many people from adjoining towns turned out this evening to greet W. J. Bryan. He arrived at 6 o'clock on the Santa Fe from Los Angeles, but long before that time a' great crowd had assem bled at tho depot. The arrival of the Bryan train was the signal for prolonged cheering. At 8 o'clock Mr. Bryan was escorted to the Plaza to address the peo ple. The great square was densely packed and. the windows of the adjacent buildings wero crowded with people. The gather ing probably numbered SOW;. A great cheer went up when Mr. Bryan appeared on the bandstand. His address was In line with those he has already delivered on his Western tour, being devoted chiefly to the questions of expansion, the control ot trusts and the sliver problem. The ora tor's remarks evoked much applause. SOT A SILVER MI.ER. Chairman Lane Snys Ills Mines Are Gold Producers. LOS ANGELES. April 9. C D. Lane, chairman of the National Silver Commit ttrwho'is with the Bryan party In South ern California, today gave to the Associ ated Press an open letter, as follows: "Los Angeles. April 9. Having noticed In tho press dispatches this morning that I have been mentioned as a silver miner who was accompanying Mr. Bryan In his tour through the State or California, I wish to correct this statement by saying that I have not one dollar's worth ot Interest In any sliver mine on earth. But it Is true that I am a gold miner, a?4 am mining for gold exclusively In vari ous places from Mexico to Cape Nome, In Alaska. I am accompanying Mr. Bryan because I am as much Interested today In blmetallsm as I ever was. and because I feel such an unbounded Interest In tht principles that he represents. "C. D. LANE.

DR.M'GIFFERTWITHDRAWS XO LONGER COXXECTED WiTHTnE rRESBYTERUX CUCRCIL Unwilling; to Force a Heresy Trial on the General Assembly Xo Change In Ills Views. NEW YORK. April 9.-Rev. Arthur C McGIffert today formally withdrew from I the Presbyterian Church. His resignation was contained In a letter to the Presby tery of New York, which met today In Its ; regular semi-annual meeting. McGlffcrfs request that his name be dropped from the rolto of the presbytery was granted. The letter In part Is as fo'Iows: "Tj tho Presbytery cf New York: D;ar Brethren In view of the appeal to the ! General Assembly, of which Dr. Blerch gave formal notice at the last meeting ''of tho presbytery. I have decided to with draw frcm the Presbyterian church, and I request that you wI accordingly drop my name from the roll of the Presby tery. In mak ng this request I desire to say that I do not withdraw because I re gard the charges of heresy preferred against me as well founded or because I regard the J is t Ice of the accusations that have been made In many quarters, but I stl 1 be'Ieve. as I believed when I wrote the eGenral Assembly 1.-st Spring, that my views arc In harmony with the faith ,of the Presbyterian church, and of evan gelical Christendom, In all vital and es sential ma'ters; but I cannot feel that It Is my duty to go through the trial before the General Assembly, which tlu appal will doubtless precipitate, and I am un willing needlessly to pro'eng Ihe agita tion that has been distracting tho church aid preventing It from giving Itself un resorvedly to tho work of advancing the work of jhe kingdom of God. "By patient study and free discussion can the truth be reached, nnd the attempt to determine the corrcctn'ss or Incorrect ness of historical conclusions by their conformity or nonconfermity to a conf s- sloral stand ird tends to obscure truths supremacy, and to promote Indifference to l'.s calms. Re erring In this connection to my own book on the 'Apastolic Age.' I beg to assure the presbytery that It was w.ltfn with no thought of committing the Presbyterian church or any one be side myself to any of I s conclusions, and so. with no thought of provoking the ecclesiastical strife, but solely with the purpose of recounting as accurately and as clearly as I could, tbe history of the Apostolic Age. as I saw It. I claim that the question of first importance touching the results I have reached Is not. 'Do they accord with the Presbyterian standardsr but, 'Are they truer In a trial for heresy the Inquiry Inevitably concerns itself chief ly with the former question, and the lat ter Is too large y overlr oked." Dr. HUlla Realisation. NEW YORK. April 9. There will oe no conference at Buffalo between Rev. Dr. Hlllls. whose letter of demission from the Presbyterian ministry was presented to the Chicago Presbytery last Monday, and the committee from that body which was appointed for the purpose of con sidering the letter of .resignation. This. It is believed. It due In part to the at titude of the members of Plymouth Church, who do not wish their pastor to have any further theological relations or discussions with tne Chicago Presby tery.

Refuse Substitutes, THEY MASTER ALL DISEASES Chronic Diseases of All Kinds Yield to the Skill of the Copeland Specialists. Thousands of Persons Who Believed Themselves Doomed to Remain Lifelong Victims of Incurable Chronic Diseases Have Been Restored to Health and, Happiness by the Matchless Skill of the Cope land Physicians. -;. ' - , . i. .1 riB Sf THE GAlfcTO HEALTH WIDE OPEN,., So extended and firmly ostahllshed has become the reputation ot the Copeland specialists In the cure of chronic catarrh of all forms that many suppose the specdl skill of these physicians to be confined to tho treatment of that all-prevailing-. In sidious and dangerous disease, but such Is far from being the cose. Tho same su perb mastery they have over that great enemy of the human race they also pos sess over chronic diseases of all kinds. No sufferer from a chronic and wasting mal ady, no person whose nerves throb with the tortures of rheumatism, no pale, rest less, nervous, emaciated Invalid, whose stomach has ceased to perform Us duty of assimilating the food taken Into It for the sustenance of the body: no victim of nerve-racking neuralgia; no one suffering and slowly dying from chronic affections of the liver, kidney, bladder, bowels and other organs of the body: no unfortunate whoso bronchial tubes have been Invaded by catarrh until his lungs have become affected and he Is threatened with con sumption, or whose entire system has been undermined by the absorption of ca tarrhal poisons: In fact, no person af flicted with any chronic disease which baffles the skill of the ordinary family physician nnd Is by him pronounced In curable, ever applies to the Copeland specialists for relief In vain. More than this, no person Is prevented from receiv ing tho benefit of their great skill be cause of their Inability to pay for It. for the Copeland fee Is so small that every suffering mortal may go to them for re lief. Their wonderful mastery over dis ease Is brought within the reach of the masses by the equally wonderful low fee of $3 a month for treatment, all medi cines being supplied by them free. -When the highest attainments ot medical sci ence, the utmost skill In the treatment of chronic diseases, the greatest experience In curing what most physicians admit themselves to be unable to cure, are thus brought within the easy reach of all who suffer. It Is no wonder that thousands avail themselves of the opportunity to bo cured, and gladly proclaim their cure and gratitude, so that all others who suf fer may know where to go for relief. THE RADICAL CURE OF CHRONIC DISEASE IN MANY FORM! Mr. J. II. Otto, 274 Fourth street, Portland: Several years ago I took a course of treatment at the Copeland In stitute for a catarrhal trouble affecting my head, stomach and bowels, the result of an attack of Panama fever 20 years before.

Portland, a well-known steamboat man: I would have long slnco been in my grave hut for the treatment of Drs. Copeland and Montgomery. They saved my life.

At times I coughed untlf I raised bright, red blood. My chest was sore, with sharp, cutting pains through the lungs. I lost flesh until I was nothing but skin and bone. TVhen I finished lay treatment two years ago I was a perfectly well man, and have .been so ever since. I shall be ever grate ful to the doctors who cured me. Mr. J. P.
