MILLIONAIRE'S WILLS
2SOHEJ IIGKT THROWN O If .THE BICE
MYSTERY.
Er the Terms of the Secaad Doca-
saent Latryer Patrick 'Would
Hare Controlled the Estate.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.- A statement made
by Captain McClusky today gives a re
markable ' turn to the Millionaire Rice
mystery. Captain McClusky saw the cer
tified copy of the second will, alleged to
have been made by "William Marsh Klce
June SO last. According to the terms or
this-will, -Albert T. Patrick, the lawyer.
Is not to receive one dollar for himself.
Charles F. Jones, the valet, is not to re
ceive one dollar. All the relatives of
Qlr. Rice named as legatees in the first
will are to receive larger bequests by
the second will than they would Have
received under the .first will. The Will
iams Rice Institute, of Houston, Tex.,
named as residuary legatee in the first
will, receives nothing by the second will.
Patrick, by the second will, is named as
residuary legatee, it being expressly stip
ulated in the document that he is to de
vote the money to the perpetuation of the
name of William Marsh Rice by. the es
tablishment of a charity the details of
w,hich had been made tchim verbally
and in writing by the testator. By the
terms of this second will, Captain JWc
CJusky said, Patrick would come into tne
control of nine-tenths of the "estate of
Mr. Rice, -which Is valued all the way
from 54.000,000 to 510,000,000.
Captain McCluskey said that the Wil
liam Rice Institute of Houston has no
actual existence. It has no buildings,
but it has a full list of officers. All the
plans of the buildings and .the details
of its purposes liave been effected, but
4t has never got beyond an existence
on paper. This Institute was to have
been established on lines somewhat sim
ilar to those of Cooper Union and to
have been operated on the same broad
plan of philanthropy. Just what precau
tion the aged millionaire took, if the
second will be genuine, to see to it that
Patrick faithfully and conscientiously car
ried out the charitable plan, is not
known. Captain Baker is named as co-
executor with Patrick by the second will.
Patrick, it is alleged, after Captain
Baker's arrival here, made a proposition
to the Texas lawyer by which he (Pat
rick) was not to quality as executor,
thereby doubling the fees Captain Baker
would be entitled to. It is asserted that
this proposition was made in the hope
of Inducing Baker to cease his opposition
to the probating of the "second will."
It has been also claimed that the pur
pose of increasing the individual be
quests In the second will over the
amounts named in the first will was to
win over the support of the relatives of
Rice to the second document.
The aged millionaire had some two
dozen nephews and nieces in addition, to
the brother and sisters. By the terms
of the first will, -which was executed in
Houston, in 1896, the nephews and nieces,
it is said, were to receive $10,000 each. By
the terms of the second will, it is said,
they were to get S15.000 each. Thfe be
quests to the brother and two sisters were
increased proportionately. The total of
the bequests to the relatives of Mr. Rice
by the second will is said to be about
$500,000.
Captain Baker was asked today about
the leport that some $3,000,000 of the dead
millionaire was missing. Captain Baker
said:
"I know nothing about $3,000,000 or any
part of tho estate being missing. Patrick
and Mr. Rice alone had access to ono
of the strong boxes, and, as far as we
know, it contents are intact. I do "not
believe that Patrick has withheld any
portion of the estate. He said he would
turn over to me all of the property of the
estate In his possession, and he has done
80."
Captain Baker was asked to divulge the
contents of the two wills, but "he said he
was not yet ready to make them public.
When questioned about the statement
made by Captain McClusky, he said that
whatever the chief of the detective bu
reau saw fit to make public -was, of
course, proper.
CHICAGO INSURANCE FRAUD.
Detective Prank Smiley Makes a Pull
5 Confession.
'CHICAGO, Oct. 9. Detective Frank
Bmlley's confession of the details, as he
claims to know them, of the insurance
fraud conspiracy that brought an un
timely and tragic death to Marie A. De
fenbach, was made public today at the
County Jail, where he is confined with
P. Wayland Brown and Dr. August M.
TJnger, the other alleged conspirators. In
his confession. Smiley says that Unger
and' Brown arranged to gain the insur
ance and that they were to divide It.
Unger was to receive $3000 while Brown
was to take $7000. Smiley asserts that
he was only a tool In the plot and that
all he was to receive vas $1000 from
Brown for allowing himself to be known
as the intetnded husband of Miss Defen
bach. TORONTO, Ont, Oct. 9. Assistant Su
preme Ranger Harper, of the. Independ
ent Order of Foresters, in which Miss
Defenbach was insured, said today that
the order's agent in Chicago was not cer
tain that Miss Defenbach had actually
died. It might yet turn out, he said,
that the case was one of substitution,
and that the body -cremated ,was not that
of the. young woman upon whose life the
policy was originally taken.

A GRAffD TRUNK ROW.
Stormy Sleeting: of Shareholders in
London.
LONDON, Oct. 9. There was a sensa
tional .scene at today's meeting of the
shareholders of the Grand Trunk Rail-
way of Canada, between Sir Charles Riv
ers Wilson, president of the company, and
Sir Henry W. Tyler, ex-president Sir
Charles Wilson, in addressing the meet
ing, detailed the Improvements made in
the line, congratulated the shareholders
on the increase in revenues, dilated on
the rise in the cost of material and in
the rates of wages and explained the res
solution of the day, which provided for
the-reorganization of the Chicago Grand
Trunk by the Canadian Company. rAf
ter outlining the proposition. Sir Charles
said he had received a letter -from Sir
Henry W. Tyler, expressing disapproval
of the reorganization and asking that the
letter be read before the meeting.
White with passion. Sir Charles declared
that the villainy employed justified him
in putting the letter in the fire. The pres
ident of the road continued his denunci
ation of the ex-president until the
audience rose, crying: "Put it la the
fire, "burn it," "shame."
There was a scene of great disorder
and then there arose a cry "Tyler is
here." In a moment the venerable figure
of ex-President Tyler was seen walking
towards the directors rostrum.
As soon as Sir Charles Rivers Wilson
recovered his composure, "he said:
"Tyler, stand up. You bave -vlllmed us.
and repeat before us all the charges you
have rmade-"
Cheers mingled with groans greeted Sir
Henry W. Tyler, who maintained that the
Chicago Grand Trunk was owned .and con
trolled by the Canadian Grand Tnmt
sad. that therefore, the directors wer J
making false pretenses when they repre
sented the reorganization as a transaction
between two Independent concerns.
Continuing, Sir Henry asserted that the
scheme Involved the repudiation .by Pres
ident Wilson of the Chicago second mort
gage bonds, which he asserted were cut
down from 5 to 4 per cent.
"Be honest," shouted Sir Henry 'Tyler.
"Don't repudiate them."
Amidst a roar of hisses and Jeers the
voice of pir Henry was drowned, but he
continued waving his arms and shouting
Inaudible charges against Sin Charles,
who stood up and in equally fierce lan
guage absolutely denied Sir Henry's al
legations and abused his administration.
Half the time Sir Henry was on his
feet endeavoring to interrupt and the ex
traordinary spectacle was presented of
the President and ex-President of a i,reat
railroad standing before a howling au
dience, both of them shouting at once and
neither speaker being audible. It was only
when several persons stepped forward
with the intention of hustling Sir Henry
Tyler out of the room that he ceased
speaking. The meeting then by a large
majority approved the -directors plan to
reorganize the Chicago .Grand Trunk with
a guarantee of the Interest on the bonds
to be issued by the new company.
The meeting also gave Sir Charles a
vote of thanks.
During the course of the report, the
president urged the shareholders to persist
in Improving the line. He added that
the surplus earnings of the Central Ver
mont road would for the present" be ap
plied to this purpose.
President Wilson expressed the belief
that the Pan-American Exposition at
Buffalo would greatly add to the business
of, the road, but he considered it doubt
ful If the expenditures of the road. In
view of the labor troubles In the United
States, would be reduced during the
coming year.

HEARS T ON THE PHILIPPINES. "
,The Democratic Clubs', President Was Eager to Nail Them
in 1898. . ' .
All durlngr 1898 W4 R. Hearst, president of the National Associa
tion of Democratic Clubs, and his papers, the New York Journal and;
the San Francisco Examiner, were earnestly in favor, of the,, reten
tion and government of the Philippines by the Unltedl States. After
many editorials of the same general purport, on the morning of Sun
day, August 14, 1898, In an' editorial,' three columns wide, with type
et -in most conspicuous-, display . form at "the top of the pagef'the
Examiner printed its now famous declaration:
nail'ythe flag to the mast." ' - .
In matter and, form as follows:
" "NAIL THEFLAiQ TO THE MAST." '
"It may be that 'the taking of this seaport and capture of what must
be considered all that there is of an effective Spanish navy, will induce .
thp.great powers of Europe to compel Spain, to sue for peace; but every
officer and every private in trie American forces on land and sea hopes
that no peace may be granted until the American flag Is -nailed to the
flagstaff of Porto Rico and the.Phillpplnes NOT SIMPLY HOISTED
THERE, BUT NAILED. Dispatch to the Examiner from-W." R. Hearst
dated Santiago, -June 27, 1688.
"Those words were written by W. R.
Hearst for the Examiner seven-weeks ago.
NAIL THE
: FLAG TO
-.THE MAST.
Theyt were written beforo Cervera had
uncorked hls-bottle and lost his fleet be
fore Santiago had surrendered, and before
Spain had humbly sued for peace.
"But they were then, as they are now,
expressive of genuine American sentiment
the sentiment which
people.
"What have we gained from Dewey's' glorious victory If the defeated
Spaniards ar6to retain 'the Islands?
"Have we Indeed sent twenty thousand -American soldiers merely to
turn that city -over to 'the Dons? . - .
"The question, What shall be done with the Philippines? is of particular
importance to the people of the Pacific Coast In all the wealth which
those thousands of fertile Islands might bring to the United States, our
t West would have a first share,, for through our.gates it muBt largely pass.
It Is to the Interest of the Nation THAT OUR FLAG- BE NAILED TO '
THE (MAST IN MANILA. Is is especially to the Interest of the people
of this Coast
"Two United States Senators have spoken on this subject within the
last few days. Hear first what Senator Foraker, of Ohio, has tft, say: 1
think it would be nothing-short of crime to return the Philippines to the
government of Spain. The tyranny Spain has practiced over the people
for years has been worse than her oppression In Cuba It Is In the most
reprehensible sense of the word, a corrupt and' taxrldden countryv I feel
that the United' States has a mission. plearly appointed by, Divine Provl v
dence In this whole matter, and that we shall fail to fully manifest its
purposejlf we allojw,the Philippines to remain imder the yo"ke and In the..,
midnight darkness towhlchtliv have been subjected. " ' '
, " 1 cannot believe 'the President will think of such a thing as return-'
,ing the islands to Spain. Now' that we have them, we should keep them.
We would, have no,more, troubld'in givlng'them a good government, and
probably not as much, as we had in .governing the states that were in re
bellion during the' years immediately following the war.'
.' '.And this, In partIs what'Senator Campbell, of New Hampshlfe,
wrote to the New York Herald: ""If we take Spain's promises that she
wlll.glve the islands a decent) government 'she will not keep them, and
we shall havo to go to war with her again or b'e 'dishonored in the eyes of
the civilized world. ,
" 'Can we light her better after.she has transported to Luzon her lib
derated armies and built' a new fleet?
' " -'We' shall not again destroy two sauadrons' with a loss of but one
American seaman. i
" 'England prevented the concert of Europe from Interfering to prevent
our occupancy of-Manila up to Dewey's "victory. Shall we now fix the
future fate of the "Philippines wlth'out' Hearing England's suggestion? -
"'If, we are' unwilling, "inn theJargon of 'the peace-at-any-price advo
cates to make, ourselves responsible for ithe .government of remote sav
age peoples, England.wjll quit the Islands and give us Canada In ex
change,t if the latter wants to oome. as soon as she will.
" The impending' danger is'that there has' gone" to Spain, through that
accomplished negotiator,- MV Cambon, assurances, direct or indirect, from
President McKIhley, that the' American commissioners will agree to give
up the Philippines, excepting Manila. ' That Is what Sagasta says he un- -derstands.
Is It so understood by us? We deceived Spain once by not,
telling her she must give up Cuba. Shall we now let 'her think we are
now willing to give back those Oriental islands.' over which our flag bas
once floated, to be ravaged and enslaved, and their Inhabitants butchered -byv
Spanish military assassins like Weylerwho will go there and do the
bloody work-in spite of all Spanish pledges to.the contrary?'

announcing the arrival of Mr. Farrell
in Leeds. Mr. Cameron says:
"'"I have been nearer Portland today
than at any time since I returned to
this side of the Atlantic. 'Bert'. Far
rell, to give him his familiar name, called
upon me 'and 'his talk revived my mem;
or'es of the seventies and gave me a
fairly vvlyld idea of what the metropolis
of Oregon has groWh to since then.
'Bert was travel-stained, but looking
wonderfully 'fit,' in 'the military sense,
clear, of eye and- brain, clean-limbed,
with no surplusage of flesh, with a mer
r heart .and a right genuine grip of- the
hand. He has 'done' Ireland, been
through the Burns and the Scott tre
glons of Caledonia, been In remote cor
ners of Northumberland and from thence
on to York all on a bike, or wheel. He
say3 he can manage 60 to 80 miles1 a day
on onr well-laid roads. Indeed, fye says
our roads are so good that he rushes
over them more quickly than is suited
for 'sight-seeing.
"From" here he goes to Manchester,
thence to Liverpool and from there he
wlll.probably make for Chester and strike
a bee line to the Shakespeare country,
preparatory to making for the place
where all good Americans go now-a-days
London itself. After that he purposes
running, through Europe, and may even,
he says, work his way to China and
thence home. We greatly enjoyed his
short stay here and his conversation."
. A postal card of the same date as Mr.
Cameron's letter was received from Bert
by" his father yesterday. He gives a
brief outline of his later wanderings and
says r on the roads there he can ride all
day they are like a race track, smooth
and hard. He only stops at cities long
enough to see the prlnclp'al points of
Interest and says that In the last, two
days i he.' has ridden 125 miles The
weather has been perfect no rain to
bother him. He visited Alnwick, the old
home of his friend, Harrington, the Laird
of 'Pillar Rock, and went all -through the
castle of the Duke of Northumberland,
one of the" 'most noted castles , In Eng
land. He says after he has seen the
Shakespeare country It will be down hill
alL the-way to London, and as he will

OREGON AND ORIENTAL
NEW' STEAMSHIP LINE MAY BE IN
DEPENDENT OP RAILROADS.
The' Eva-Will Return to Portland. In
,tbe New Iilne May Grata Skim
Arrive Oat Marine Notes.
The Oregon & Oriental Steamship Com
pany is ' the name of the latest trans
pacific line to operate between Portland
and the far East This company will
operate a line of chartered steamers,
the steamer Eva, which left here a few
days ago, being the first of the fleet
Jt was stated in Sunday's Oregonlan
that the Eva would probably return,
to Portland or another steamer would
be substituted. The matter has since
been definitely settled, and the Eva
will return as soon as her present out
ward cargo Is discharged. She will alter
nate on the route for the present with
another similar sized steamer, and if bus
iness justifies the service, an additional
steamer will be placed on the route. De
tails of the new organization were not
obtainable yesterday, as Mr. Graham, one
of the prime movers in the enterprise,
was not in the city. It is stated on very
good authority, however, that Mr. J. "V.
Creighton, who went over on the Eva,
will represent the new company In the
Orient and that he sailed away with
a two years' contract in his pocket
' So far as can be learned, the new line
has not yet made definite arrangements
with any of the transcontinental lines
for overland freight and the general be
lief seems to be that its business will bo
confined largely to local freight Some
difficulty Is experienced in securing full
inward cargoes for steamers, but Port
land has "always had a surplus of out
ward freight There is a rumor to the
effect that the Eva made a lower rate to
Hong Kong and Vladivostock than has
been In effect on the other lines. It is
also stated that a big meeting will be
held at Hong Kong- today or tomorrow to
consider ways and means for .preventing
a demoralization of rates, such as will
certainly follow the cutting of an inde
pendent line. This meeting will be at
tended by representatives of the Pacific
Mall Steamship Company.the Nippon Yu
sen Kalsha, Dodwell & Co., the Califor
nia & Oriental Steamship Company and
the Canadian Pacific Railway.
A combination of these big lines could
undoubtedly make'lt very difficult for the
newcomer to secure satisfactory overland
fates, but If enough local business could
be secured to keep the steamers moving
they would be In a measure independ
ent of the actions of the big lines. Mean
while, the different agents who are look
ing after the interests of the Scarpsno,
Monmouthshire, Kvarven and Bergenhus
are rustling up freight for those vessels,
and all of them will go out fully loaded.

ing World .says:
The giant White Star liner Oceanic,

eseape from shipwreck off the coast of
Ireland.
- While approaching the coast, and trying
to pick up the Fastnet Light, what ap
peared, to be a fogbank suddenly lifted
aid showed land dead ahead. The break
ers could be plainly seen crashing on
the rocks, and the vessel touched bot
tom, but Captain Cameron Immediate
ly stopped 'his engines, reversed them
and backed Into the deep water without
I the steamship being injured. It was only
owing 10 care inac a lerrmie aisasier was
averted. The Oceanic was going slowly
on account of the fog, and trying to pick
upP th&' land.
(It was 4 o'clock -in the morning when
the fog lifted and Bhowed'the land right
ahead.
' The stopping of the engines shook up
and awoke everybody. Half a minute
after the engines were reversed, but be
fore the Oceanic was stopped, she struck
with a grinding, grating noise. She then
quickly swung clear. Tranquil and con
fident In the skill of 'the captain, the
women passengers in the saloon behaved
admirably, showing the greatest coolness
In the presence of danger.
Tho watertight compartments were
closed within two minutes on Captain
Cameron's order as soon as the danger
was perceived. , The lifeboats were cleared
away, ready for lowering, with the pre
cision of clock work, and the crew were
at quarters at once.

rived here within the last few days have
reported a loss of from one to seven men
each. The fatality list probably exceeds
300.-
Serious disasters have visited a number
of New Foundland fishing harbors.

Arrlvp at Queenstown.
The British ship Dovenby Hall, the last
vessel of the May grain fleet from this
port, arrived out at Queenstown Monday,
af ten a. passage of 130 days from this port
This Is about the slowest passage ever
made by thlB'shlp, as she has quite a

passage; in fact, it Is the exact number
of days which Broomhall's Corn Trade
News keeps posted at the head of Its col
umns. The Inverness-shlre, which was
the first of the May fleet to soil from
this port, arrived out October 1, after a
slow passage of 150 days. This vessel la
also a very fast sailer ordinarily, but she
experienced a gale, August 10, which
damaged her considerably, and undoubt
edly delayed her arrival at Queenstown.
This vessel Is apparently hoodooed, as sho
lost her anchors In a gale at Honolulu,
and narrowly escaped destruction, and
before she finally reached Portland had
coat the underwriters considerable money.
"WHEAT BLOCKADE AT TACOMA.
Fe-ir Ships to Be Had and Mo-v-inff of
Grain la Serloui QueAtlon.
TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 9. Twenty-one
and one-half million bushels of grain,
estimated to load 25 ships, are In storage
in Tacoma's elevators. Ship-owners have
been offered and refused 50 shilling char
ters. Just how the blockade is going to
be lifted Is difficult to foresee, as there
is little disengaged tonnage to be bad
on Puget Sound, even at the 50 shilling
rate. Strong efforts are being made to
get some of the ships now In port to
load ahead of their time to relieve the
congestion.

FIVE' DOLLARS A BOX.
The Price Cut No- Figure "With II lm.
I want to say for the benefit of some
poor dyspeptic that Stuart's Dyspepsia.
Tablets will give comfort and a cure
every time. Five dollars a box would not
stop my purchasing them Bhould I ever
suffer again as I did for a week before
using them.
The one EO-cent box I bought at my
druggist's did the work and my digestion
is all right again.
Many of my neighbors have also tried
these tablets and found them to be just
as represented and Mr. Ellms also wants
me to use his name In endorsing Htu
ort's Dyspepsia Tablets. Signed,
A. ELzais and
Chas. F. Buzzell. Asst. Postmaster,
South Sudbury, Mass.
Mra. James Barton, of Toronto, Canada,
writesr For 18 months I suffered from
what I supposed was bladder and kidney
trouble, and took medicine from three
different doctors, without any sign of
cure. I felt so 111 at last I was hardly
able to do my work.
I thought I would try a box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and see If they would
make me feel better, never really think
ing I had dj'spepsla, but after only three
or four tablets had been taken all tne
acid trouble disappeared and then I dis
covered I had had acid dyspepsia, while
the doctors had been treating me for
kidney and bladder trouble, and one of
them treated me for rheumatism.
My digestion is fine, my complexion
clear and X am able to do my work, and
low spirits are unknown to me.
I am so thankful for finding a cure so
good and so pleasant to take as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. I am surprised at tne
change they have made in me.
All druggists sell and recommend Stu
art's Dyspepia Tablets, because thoy con
tain only the simple natural digestives,
and taken after meals prevent acidity and
cause prompt digestion and assimilation
of food.
Physicians everywhere endorse them be
cause they are as safe for the child a3
for tho adult; they are invaluable for
sour stoma.ch, nervous dyspepsia, heart
burn, gas on stomach and bowels and
every form of stomach derangement
