Address by Lleateaaat-Geveraer HHtchlasoa, of Idaho Properties TUtU Are Listed. The brilliant openlnsr of tho Oregon tUinlnff Stock Exchange last evening, in its magnificent quarters In th6 Chamber cf Commerce building, was felt by all the leading: citizens and the mining men pres ent to mark a new era In the growth itnd development of the state's mining- In terests. The brightly lighted rooms were well filled by an assembly of Interested spectators and brokers, and the gallery by many of the leading -women of the city, who looked with interest at the bustling scenes on the floor. Orders for stock were received from Colorado and Che East yesterday, and all day inquiries kept coming in from people anxious to Know what solid, reliable stocks Oregon could sfunrish. tfor Investment purposes. The exchange opened under the most auspicious circumstances, and the officers and members feel much cause for con gratuQation over the result. Before the formal opening, the -visitor strolled through the quarters, which every one conceded to be the finest In the United States, and Inspected also the interesting exhibit of ores from Oregon mines In the rooms of the Mine-Owners Club, fitted up to the rear of the ex change floor. At 8.20. President J. E. Haeeltine introduced Ienrtenant-Govern-cr J. H. Hutchinson, of Idaho, to whom had been delegaterd the making of the first call. In opening the exchange Mr. Hutchinson sato: Four years ago today I had the honor of opening the Mining Exchange of Colo rado Springs, which was to start the de velopment of the Crlppte Creek mining interests. Since then the population of that city has doubled, and the output of the mines has reached $30,000,000. Citizens of Portland, the Oregon Mining Exchange dots not ask one dollar of you; it only asks that through your business men, merchants and bankers you take an active interest in Its workings, so that when in quiries are made of Oregon mining stocks an answer may be given through the ex change that will be reliable. To whom, now could a prospective Investor apply for reliable information regarding an Oregon mine, or how could he make up his mind that the proposition was a good one, with out inspecting tiiQ property? I have looked over the by-laws and rules of this ex change, and find that they correspond closely to those of Colorado Springs, and are designed In every possible way to pro tect tho investor. "When a sale is made it will be bona fide. When a property is sold, the title will be clear. In four years from now I hope that your mines will havo as great a reputation as your farms and orchards in the Valley of the Willam ette." The following brokers were in attend ance: Banner B. Gibhs, M. G. Griffin. E. A. Clem. L. Y. Keady, H. H. Mc Carthy, M. P. Ward, J. A. McCully. of Portland; J. W. Helsner. of Eastern Ore gon; Charles Gee. A. C. Wagy. G. B. Hengen, W. P. Wagy, Russell Prentice and Frank B. Roberts, or Colorado. The call opened with the unlisted mines and prospects, as the listing committee has not yet completed its examination of all properties for which applications for listing have been filed. Call was opened on the following mines: Alamo, Buffalo, Co-operative. Gold Hill & Bohemia, Gold Hill High Line Ditch. Grizzly, Golden Slipper, Helena, Helena No. 2, Lost Horse, Oregon-Colorado, Riverside RockafeJler, Sumpter Free Gold, West Fork Gold Copper, and Venus.

This evening, at the Commercial Club, a reception will be given In honor of Lieutenant-Governor Hutchinson, who will give a short talk on Portland's oppor tunity to become the mining center of the Northwest After the reception there will be a banquet tendered him. at which leading citizens of the city will be pres ent. IMPORTERS NOT ALARMED. Chinese Disturbance "Will Tend tot Benefit Portland. Leading business men here ore of the opinion that a mar in China would help Portland merchants and manufacturers more than it would hurt them. They say that It would take a general uprising all oer the empire to affect the goods that are Imported from there by the mer chants of this city. The tea. matting, rice, curios and other Chinese goods sold here come from Southern porta, while tho disturbances are In the northern part. Most of the Southern ports are strongly Engl6h in a commercial -way, and it is thought. If tha war should become general, goods would continue to come right along, al though prices might advance. The principal tea Importers In Port land do not apprehend any trouble, and are going light along selling all the tea they can at established prices. They think that there Is enough tea on the Coast to supply all demands for a year. Just how this Is distributed -among the importers and dealers is an undeter mined question. It is their opinion that, should the trouble In China become gen eral, some of the common and medium gradea of tea would run short, and that prices would go up on these grades on this Coast. In fact, the apprehension of continued trouble may have the effect of stimulating the price on lower grades of tea. No merchant orders more tea than he thinks he will need, as it must be re ordered often to keep .It fresh. There are slight indications already from certain quarters that common grades of tea will be in demand If the trouble continues, but this Is only such as is natural when there is any excite ment on in China. One of the well known Importers of Portland eald yester day that he had been In the business here for more than 20 years, and he had never known anything to disturb the tea market in China very much. The San FrancIco Importers may not be in as good condition as the Portland men are, or they may be easier excited. Not long ago a Portland firm offered a San Francisco firm certain grades of tea, being well stocked with those grades. The San Francisco house replied that It had all it needed, and that there was no demand. Yesterday this same San Fran cisco house wired the Portland firm to know how much of the grade of tea quoted it could supply. Importers of rice, "matting and other Chinese goods take practically the same view of the situation that the tea men do. Larger stocks of rice or matting may be Imported with safety, as they are not affected by age like tea is. Importers of matting here do not ex pect any advance in price. They think that the supply is sufficient for all de mands. It seems to be on the belief that the present disturbance will soon be over that the Portland importers base their confidence in stable prices and no shortage of" goods, so far as Chinese im portations are concerned. "W. D. Wheelrlght, cf the Export Lum ber Company, who was in Pekin leas than a year ago, gives it as his opin ion that tho present disturbance is but a riot of & serious nature, and will quick ly be 'put down. He does-not think it will disturb mercantile Interests in Port land In any way. He thinks, like others, that it will bene fit commerce here. Even, the disturb ances already reported, he says, should bring orders to this city for lumber. The tearing up of the railroads will demand timbers for their repair. If the disturbances continue, and should develop Into a good-sized war, it would mean a great deal for Portland's flour manufacturers. The immense armies that would be sent there by tho various nations would create a demand fox bread stuffs such as have never dome from China before. It would also bring more business to the breweries of this- part of the country. Many other products of iho Coast would be In great demand. Beld Back, one of the leading Chinese merchants of Portland, says that the present trouble will soon be over with. He says that there are too many Euro peans in China to allow the rldts to continue long, and be does not think that the present- disturbance will affect mer chandise which is imported from there to any perceptible extent. All of the Portland merchants handKng Chinese goods of any sort are fairly well stocked up, and say that they will lose no sleep for some time, should war be declared in China. Many of them say they can buy most of the things they now get In China in other countries, end should it come to, the point where they would be forced -to do that, it might mean higher prices, but no serious interrup tion of trade. WANTS BICYCLES CURBED. CeaaellauiB-EIeet Merrill Speaks Els Mlad Freely. When Councilman-elect Fred Merrill came out as a. candidate for that office It wa3 urged against him that he would be & blcvele crank- (f o1fv1 n -rr.nt.1 favor bicycle paths In the city streets and' iuvur oicycnsis oemg allowed to ride on the sidewalks all the year round. On be ing asked yesterday if there was any foundation for these charges, Mr. Merrill said: ""I do not bellevo in having bicycle paths in the city except where necessary to connect good streets with outside bicycle paths. What we need is good streets, such as will not require any bicycle paths on them. Bicycle paths in the central part of the city would cause more acci dents than riding on the sidewalks. Rid ers trying to keep on such paths would have all kinds of accidents at crossings and in trying to pass pedestrians at cor ners. "As to sidewalk-riding: The sidewalks were not made for bicycle-riders. There should be a law forbidding bicyclists from riding on any sidewalk within a certain distance from the business part of the city, and in the outskirts only where the streets are impassable. Riders should not be allowed to ride more than six miles per hour on any sidewalk, and any rider running Into a person -or running over a child should be held personally responsi ble, and his wheel confiscated until all damages are paid." "It Is to my interest." continued Mr. Merrill, "to encourage the bicycle busi ness In every way. Bicycles will never oecome popular witn all classes until such laws are passed. Accidents are caused only by reckless. irresronslhl Tvn-on who have no respect for the rights or weuare or otners. in my opinion, the best way to encourage bicycle-riding la to place- a limit on the privileges of bl-cycle-rlders. I am also of opinion that after paths are built connecting the city with the outside system of bicycle paths, some of the money raised by the- bicycle license should be spent on the streets of the city for the benefit of the thousands of people who tro to and from their busi ness on bicycles and never have time to use the outside paths. We should have 25 miles of asphalt streets In the City of Portland, and an agitation should be started here with this end In view, as was successfully done in Buffalo, N. Y." "ALIAS" WOOD ACQUITTED. Timber Land Swindler Escapes on a Technicality. C J. Schnabel returned last evening from Seattle, where he went to assist in defending John Wood, the notorious timber-land locator or prevaricator, agalr-st whom there were three indictments, com prising 20 counts. He has done business under so many namrs that he is generally known as "Alias" Wood. His business was to find victims to locate on timber claims, by promising to buy the land from them afterward, they making oath that they had not agreed to sell It to any one. He was convicted In the United States Court here by F. Pierce Mays In 1S92. and sent to the Oregon Penitentiary, and D. R. Murphy secured him another so journ In the Penitentiary in 1SS5. In 1S93 he was treated in the same manner by United States Attorney Sullivan, fe Wash ington. The operations for which he was Indict ed on this last occosion took place in Washington, and he had frfund refuge In Oregon, but by a shrewd trick was enticed oer to Vancouver. Wash., where he was arrested and held ibr trial. On his trial, which lasled for fle days, he was acquitted, the Jury, after being out 28 hours, standing 6 to 4 for acquittal. His counsel offered no testimony; tried the case on the evidence submitted by the Government, and secured his acquittal on a mere technicality. They showed that tho persons who had been duped by Wood and who testified against him were per jurers, having sworn that they were taking the land for themselves, while they had contracted to sell it to Wpod, and that their testimony had not been corrob orated. On this showing. Wood's acquit tal was secured. As he has something over JCO00 in cash from his ill-gotten gains and Is 64 years old, his attorneys admon ished him to quit business, or he would be likely to get into trouble. LAST NIGHT OF MINSTRELS "Will Give Their Final Performance at Cordrays Theater. Rusco & Holland's great Nashville Stu dents troupe, which have crowded two houses at Cordray"s Theater, will give the last performance tonight, as they were unable to cancel other dates in order to give an additional .performance here, al though the patronage they have received would have made such a course a profit able one. A big house witnessed the minstrels last night, and every, one went away declaring the organization one of the strongest that has ever been seen in the theater. The company Is virtual ly an all-star aggregation, comprising the cleverest colored comedians, singers and dancers on the stage, and during Its brief stay in Portland has made for. Itself a reputation which will insure It crowded houses whenever It returns. Entertained the Gradaates. Professor Miller, principal of the Wood stock phool, and wife entertained the graduates of tho grammar grade, of whom there are 10, last evening at their home. Tire other teachers and some of the mem bers cf last year's class were present. and contributed much to -the enjoyment of tho evening. The class which will re ceive diplomas at the c!o-a of the school "s much attached to the principal, and appreciated the effort he and his wife made to entertain them. Way Endure Headaches?

Final Figures ea. the City Ticket Made Remainder to Be Flaiaked Today Clese Watching. The official 'canvassing board, composed of Clerk of the County Court Holmes and Justices Kracmer and Vreeland, com pleted their labors yesterday afternoon, but the additions of the totals of the tally-sheets have not yet all been made. These will be finished this morning. The board convened June 8, and the work consumed nine days. On Sunday the whole force In the County Clerk's office was engaged In adding figures of the count as far as it had proceeded up to Satur day night, and the computations still to be made will not take long. In making the official count the tally marks were closely scrutinised to see that then), were not six or four tally marks where there should be five, and that the clerks In the various election precincts had carried out the totals correctly. Because, of the number of representa tives of different candidates and political I parties who were present watching the count, there was considerable delay, a frequently a half an hour was consumed In wrangling among them about one vote or tally-mark. The board also took Its time and proceeded with unusual care, in order to leave no room for unfavorable comment from any side, and all figures were called out in a loud tone of voice, so that all could hear. The official count two years ago took about a week, and was published June IB. The totals as far as made show that George L.

An unusually interesting programme, that seemed all too short, was given at Arion Hall last evening by Miss Jose phine Large, ass'sted by Mr. Coursen and Mr. Konrad. It was the third concert of the season given by the Musical Club, and all the members of that organization and manyTOf their friends were present to do honor to the occasion. Mi5s Large's reading of the opening Bach numbers was characterized by luminous Intelligence and penetration Into the composer's Ideas, together with the power to present those ideas to the audience with clear-cut. mas terly lucidity. Under her bands the work of the grand old classicist becomes Imbued with new vitality, and takes on a fresh lease of life. The Beethoven trio for piano, violin and 'cello was s. specially enjoyable feature of the evening. It represented Beethoven in one of his happiest moods, care-free and with little or no touch of the strenuous passion an stress that enters into most of his later compositions!. It breathe? a gentle and soothing peace, brightened with touches of exquisite humor and grace, which were interpreted with much daintiness and spirit by Miss Large, Mr. Coursen and Mr. Konrad. In effective contrast to this were the Schumann and- Brahms numbcra The two romances of the former had air add ed amatory Interest by reason of the fact that they had been composed in the full tide of Schumann's courtship of Clara Wieck; the firs' was tinged with sadness. in which ono cculd read the oppposltlon of. the stern father, while the second was less somber, more impassioned, with rebellious chords now and then breaking' into the harmonies. -Ts' Branms ballade showbd toHches of & genUe. "rather melan choly mysticism, afore brilliant was the "Rhapsodie." with, its, -bold and vivid flashes of. orchestral eeltfr. ' The programme closea" wit an enjoya ble nocturne etude of Chopin's, and, for encore, his charming prejadb, 'Tfae Rain drop," which Miss Large gave with, capti vating grace. AVOIDED TRIPLE TAXATION. Sheep Man Will lee Bis Floek la Oregon All Sammtr. J. L Carson, a well-kaown sheepbuyer of Wyoming, is In Portland on business. He bought 10.000 head o? sheep in Bast era Oregon last Spring -and started!' them over the trails for "Winter quarters in Wyoming, but ran agajhost, an obstacle at the Idaho line, which, caused him to halt his flock, and hp has secured Summer pasturage for them in the mountains of Bakisr County. "Lfound that the Idaho authorities have decided to make me pa taxes on all zoy stock in Canyon County," he said, "but as the Oregon Assessors had listed them In this state already, 1 did sot de dre to have the dose doubled Wyoming, too, was preparing to jnake us a fiat rate of 10 cents a head, when we struck tht borders of that state, and so I con cluded to Bummer most of the animals in Oregon. I will ship 250j,head of them to tho feeding grounds of Nebraska next month and the remainder next Fall, and frora there the wethers -jnll be shipped to the Chicago markets.1' t He is in tho market for S&O yearling ewes, ho says, if they can be purchased in Oregon, as he Intends Wintering them 'on the Owyhee River fp this state and breeding them there next Spring. He finds this class of stoclevery scarce, how ever, as people are beginning to realize that there is money ,ln sbeepralslng, and so are willing to pay well for the priv ilege of going Into the .business. Year ling ewes, he says, are worth S3 60 a bead when they can be found, which Is an advance of 300 per cent Over prices paid five years ago. In speaking of crossing his 10,000 bead of sheep over the Grant County hills from Heppner to Huntington, he said he had little or no trouble w?ith-,the ranchers by the wayside, although the 10,000 head of sheep A cut a wide swath in the grass as they went through. He- had- most of his wrangles with the woen folk, between Heppner and Monument, and he found the female sex armed orriseveral occa sions with shotguns, revolvers and field glasses, on the lookout ' for marauding bands intent on devouring the gracs which tho settlers were trying to save for their cows. He congratulates himeelf on hav ing run the gauntlet without serious mis hap. He has no trouble where the sheep are now, as grass is abundant and neigh bors remote. - PERSONAL MENTION.

He arrived yes terday from Boise, .Idaho, where be de livered a lecture a few nights ago. From here he will go to Seattle, where he lec tures, and from there he will go East. Since returning from the Philippines last Summer, General King has beeen a very busy man, and is now taking his first rest. While taking this rest he is delivering lectures in certain sections of the country, and in these lectures Is en deavoring to prove to the people that the American soldier Is neither a brute nor a barbarian. He says that the many stories which came back from Manila- con cerning the Inhuman treatment received by the natives at the hands of the United States soldier were utterly without foundation. If he can succeed In ehow ing the men who fought for the Stars and Stripes up In their true light, he will. It Is pretty certain, feel amply re paid for tho lectures, and the time and trouble it took to deliver them. 'Tt was printed in many of the papers of the country that we butchered the natives without mercy in the fight of February 5." iie said last night. "The New York Even'ng Post, the Springfield Re publican, the Nation" and other Journals made It appear that we killed the un armed and Inoffensive people, and that the Americans -exe mainly responsible for the war ln'the Philippines. "In the battle of February 5, I want to tell you that there were but two men killed among the enemy, that were not armed with Mausers or Winchester?. Two unfortunate Chinamen who had some business within tho lines were killed, but no one knew they were there until after the battle. "Stories were printed to the effect that we destroed churches aoid committed many other unnecessary offenses. On the contrary, I made It a- point to see that churches were not molested, and we oc cupied none that had not been previously occupied by Spanish or native soldiers. In several instances I had guards placed around churches to Bee that they -were not injured, to find out later that those same churches were simply arsenals. The first shots fired at rome of my com panies were from the tower of a church which we had previously guarded to see that It was not harmed. "These and other errors I hope to cor rect to some extent. In sections of the country from where no volunteers went. No correction Is needed in those locali ties, to which soldiers returned." Since reaching the United States Gener al King has been doing considerable lit erary work. He wrote a story for Neely, of New York, the publisher who failed a while ago owrng a number of authors. General King was among the "number. He still holds Mr. Neerj-s notes. He has also written a story for the Llpplncott's which was very popular, and he is now furnishing Ainslee's Magazine with a serial story which will be prirsted in book form. later. He thinks three books in a year is a very fair amount of labor for that length- of time. This, with his other duties, have kept him busy. "I'm a soldier," he replied when asked if he liked literature better than fight ing. "I prefer military life to any other. I only write because I find It profitable. It has helped to make a good woman and three children very happy, and that is why I do It. T am still ready, should occasion de mand It, to go on the fleldl for my coun try .at any time." General King is stllj In the service ef the United States. He Is Brigadier-General of volunteers, and would no doubt be called out should It become necessary to send a new army to China, or to any other country. He says that hto time was so taken up with hte work In the Philippines that toe had little opportunity for observing the country or the people, and, therefore, is unable to express an opinion on either. He also prefers not to make any pre dictions concerning the outcome of the Chinese trouble. History Repeats Itself. Cleveland Plain Dealer. "Why, it's old Diogenes!" cried Sklnlns, as the ancient philosopher, lighted lan tern In hand, plodded slowly down the street. "Hullo, Dlog," cried Patroclus In ban tering tones, "found that honest man yet?" . The sage stared up at them. "Honest maul" he grumbled. "I'm not looking for an honest man. I gave that up ,long ago." And he turned to hobble away. "Then what are you looking for?" cried young Hercllus. Diogenes paused. 'Tm looking for a hired girl," he growled, "cur's left yesterday."

While Lord Roberts Is chasing Krugor and closing the career of the South Af rican Republics, the residents on Flint street, in Alblna, are preparing to renew the struggle, judging from the tone of a petition filed with the City Auditor. Flint streeet is between Russell and Han cock and Is 1S0O feet long. A. remarkable petition has been filed with the Auditor asking that the name "Flint" street be changed to Transvaal avenue. In honor of the Transvaal Republic It Is set out In the petition that the name "Flint" Is neither euphonious nor appropriate, and asks that the change be made to Trans vaal. The petition says further that the petitioners pray that the street be called Transvaal avenue to commemorate the name of the South African Republic, for tho reason that the people are resisting In behalf of their liberties and their homes the encroachments of a monarchy, which threatens soon to wipe the littUe republic from the face of the earth. The petition is probably one of the most pa thetic ever filed with the Recorder, and tears will be shed when it Is read be fore the Councllmen, hard-hearted as they are supposed to bo. Tho signers are H. Waterholter, D. H. Harnett, J. M. Manning, S. Tomllnson, Catherine Thoma, Charles Eartram, Ju lius A. Elckerson and A. Strong. Theeo are supposed to represent tha struggling republic Yesterday tae Englishmen liv ing on Flint street got wind of the pe tition, and measures were taken to head off the movement. George Slnsfield made a copy of the paper yesterday and will have a remonstrance in circulation against the propo&xl change of name as -soon as It can be drawn up. There is going to be a hot time on Flint street, before long, and the residents in the neighborhood need not be surprised If they soon hear the boom of artillery, for the Boers are determined that It shall be changed to Transvaal avenue, and the Engllshmeni are equally as firm that the change sba.i not be made. Returned From Their Ontlnars. Henry S. Rowe, Mayor-elect, returned yesterday evening from his sojourn at Meacham In the Blue Mountains. He was there a week, and came home well rested.
