10 H73 MOANING OEEGONIAN. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1900. COLIiAPSE, AY- BETTORS bryan's campaign gone to smash and nothing doing. Six to One Offered on tlie General Be- ult-Nobody'H Tale the Bryaa End. Men Tritb money to bet on the election of President McKlnley had to hunt with a dark lantern and a search -warrant yes terday to find anybody who wanted to bet on Bryan, says the New York Sun of October 2L In Wall street Bryan money had disappeared almost as completely as If It had never been there. All kinds of inducements were offered by McKlnley supporters to draw Bryan money Into the hands of the stakeholders, but there was nothing doing. In fact, In the last hope of grettlns a bet down, the men with Mc Klnley money offered luxurious bets. One of these was an offer to bet any part of $1000. at odds of S to 1. that McKlnley would set 150,000 plurality In this statcC !Eiis offer was made by a prominent Wall street broker shortly after the mar ket opened yesterday mornlngr. and It was hungr out as long" as there was a possibility of setting It covered. To be absolutely accurate, the offer stood rood as long as the broker remained In his office, and be remained there three hours after the market closed. No Bryan money liad appeared, however, at a few minutes after S o'clock, and so the broker went home concluding that the result of three days registration had convinced those In clined to take the short end of McKlnley bets that It was practically Impossible to Teln, no matter how the let was framed. About the first offer made public in Wall street yesterday was that of a broker who announced that he had 5500 to bet against $250 that McKlnley would carry Illinois. The broker and his agents carried the terms of this offer wherever it was supposed there was any Bryaa money, but never a taker was found. Shortly after the market opened, Cooper, Cramp & Beadleston announced that they had $4000 to bet against $1000 that McKln ley would be elected. The news of this offer was .sung through the street, but) nobody appeared to have $1000 which he cared to risk on such a proposition. As I a. last resort the firm telephoned to Bell & Co., where, it was understood, there was plenty of Bryan money, that Cooper. Cramp & Beadleston had $4000 to bet on McKlnley at Odds of 4 to 1. The answer -was sent back that Bell & Co. hadn't any Bryan money. When this answer was reported in Cooper, Cramp & Beadleton's office, one of the customers remarked; "Looks like it was all over but the shouting." J. J. Judge, an outside broker, who has been making many large bets, let it be known about 11 o'clock that he had K10.000 to bet in $500 lots at 4& to 1 that McKln ley would be elected. Those who heard Mr. Judge's offer simply smiled and sent word to him that he would have to offer better odds if he expected to place his money. Half an hour later, In the hope of drawing out some Bryan money. Judge offered to bet $20,000 even that McKlnley would carry Indiana. Not a nibble did he get. "Well." Mr. Judge is reported to have said, "we'll see if a bet can be framed which will be considered attractive enough for the -men with Bryan cash. It, indeed, any such men are to be found." Mr. Judge thought for a little and then caused the announcement to be made that ho would bet $20,000 eVen that McKlnley Tvould carry Bryan's own State of Ne braska. Nobody was any more eager to accept that offer than any other that had been made, and Judge concluded that there was no chance of getting any money on, on McKlnley. George S. Lancon & Co. offered to bet $20,000 to $5000 that McKlnley would be elected, and they could not place iny part of it. .After these offers had been made, without drawing out any Bryan money, the quotations shifted and 5 to 1 on McKlnley was oilerea, with no takers. "Then, just before the market closed, 6 to 1 in small sums was offered, the most liberal odds yet hung up. but nobody wanted to bet. " "Great heavens!" exclaimed an old Wall street operator, when he heard of the odds on McKlnley, "this fellow Bryan has dropped from a possibility to a despised selling plater. If it keeps on at this rate, somebody will be offering 100 to 1 on Mc Krnlcy, before election, in the hope of getting a bet down, just for the record." The real reason for the offering of these extraordinary odds on President McKln ley in Wall street Is probably to be found In tile general condition of the market and of business generally. The trade re views, the bank "statements and the crop bulletins, to say nothing of railroad earn ings, show that the financial world has already discounted the election and has acquired a confidence in the result sel dom, if ever before, known in a Presi dential year. It is true, of course, that many investments and industrial enter prises are tring held up until the result has leen announced, but the feel'ng seems to be so widespread that McKlnley will be elected that, according to some of the best-Informed financiers In Wall street, the business of the country Is in better shape, and plans for more enterprises have been formed than have been known of before in the October of a Presidential year in a -quarter of a century. The professional bettors uptown were not at all surprised to hear of the scarcity of Bryan money in Wall street. These men haven't been able to get a bet of any kind down In nearly two weeks. Said one of them: "There's no use talking about election betting, for there Isn't any. You can't Und any Bryan money, no matter what kind of a. reasonable bet you offer to mako. 'Odds of 5 to 1 on McKlnley were marked up by some of us today, but I don't believe that 10 to 1 would draw out any democratic money. The fact is, the bottom fell clean out of the Bryan campaign a little over a week ago and nobody with any sene is going to take the Democratic end of any betting propo sition this Fall." -f Gottfried Walbaum, who. with the pos sible exception of George Weelock. is the heaviest bettor on elections in town, told jl Sun man last night that he has been able to bet only about $3000 thus tar. He would like to bet $100,000 more. "Election betting,"" said Mr. Walbaum, -is my strong suit. I have been wrong on only two elections in 23 years, and it's no wonder that I regret not being able to get down a bet of any conse quence this year. I was ready to lay 2 to 1 early in the pampaign. but some of my iJemoeratlc friends urged me so strongly td "hold off until October, assuring me that I 'Wouia be certain to get better odd's., that I held off. "Now I am kicking Myself. George Wheelock Is the luckiest o"f the big -professional bettors I know. He did what I wanted to do in August and early in September, and placed about $10,000 at 2 to 1 and 2& to L I am now offering 5 to 1 and can't get a bet." "Mr. Croker seems to have money to bet." suggested tlie reporter. "Yes." said Mr. Walbaum. "Mr. Croker b&Usoroe rapney some of his .own money, perhaps some time "ago, but he -wouldn't bet any of his own money now. He's too shrewd a man. But most of the money which Mr. Croker was said to have put up was, as I happen to know, part of the Tammany campaign fund. It was thought wise to spend some of it that way. It may be that the Democratic organization has more money to spend In the same ;K&S, but 3 hear not. I only hope It has, ior 'then' I may be able to get some of my money." Mr. Walbaum does his own political fig uring. This year he has put In the doubt ful column Delaware, Maryland. Ken tucky, West "Virginia, Indiana, Oregon, Kansas, Wyoming, Washington, Idaho tind Nebraska. With G2 .votes. McKlnley. according to Walbaum's -figures Is sure of" 22$ votes. This leaves to Bryan 157 votes sure, or, with all the doubtful states. 219. Having thus calculated the result, Mr. Walbaum Is prepared to make the following bets: One hundred thousand dollars, or any part of It, at odds of, 5 to 1, that Mc Klnley will be elected; $10,000 even that he will have 100,000 plurality In New York State; $10,000 even that Bryan will not have more than 60,000 plurality In the City of New York; $10,000 even that Mc Klnley will carry Kings County; $30,000 to $10,000 that McKlnley will carry Illi nois. As to his doubtful states, Walbaum will bet 6 to 5 that McKlnley carries Dela ware; even money he will carry Mary land; 4 to 5, Kentucky; even money, West Virginia; 6 to 5, Indiana; even money, Kansas. FOR SAFETY OF RESERVOIRS City Sues to Condemn a Small Par cel of Land. The City of Portland has begun suit against Leander Lewis in the State Cir cuit Court, to condemn a piece of land near the reservoirs at the City Park. The land adjoins the King and Grover tracts, already purchased by the city, and to complete the sliding lands purchase tho city desires the Lewis parcel, which Is small, In order to have no obstacle In. the wa5r properly to drain the lands and get tho reservoirs in proper condition. It Is alleged that Lewis was offered $500, which he refused, and that the land in ques tion Is not worth over $350. As:s tor nn Injunction. William Klckhaefer, of Milwaukee, Wis., yesterday began suit In the United States Circuit court against L. G. Wheel er, Madge Wheeler and the St. Anthony Gold Milling & Mining Company, of Grant County, Oregon, to enjoin them from Interfering with the employes of the company. The complainant, who Is a large stockholder in tho company, alleges that defendants L. G. Wheeler and Madge Wheeler on October 8, unlawfully and with force and violence went upon the claims and property of the company and into the mouth of a main tunnel thereon and about and Into the buildings, and as saulted and drove away the agents, min ers, etc, of the company sent there to work and develop the property, and threatened to shoot and kill said agents and employes, and these defendants con tinue to remain about and near said property and continue to threaten to beat, shoot, and kill any employes of tho company who may be sent there to open, work or develop the property. The object of the suit Is to have a stop put to such proceedings and the rights of complainant Klckhoefer protected. L. G. Wheeler Is the son of A. E. Wheeler, of Milwaukee, Wis., who Is president of the company, and Madge Wheeler Is the wife of L. G. Wheeler. From this It would appear as If there was some trouble among the stockholders of the company. Has Made No Report. PORTLAND, Or.. Oct. 26. Since Mr. Edwin Mays has chosen to make his dif farences with the Gold Coast Company a matter of newspaper notoriety, it is only fair that the company should be heard In a small way. Mr. Mays went, as he says, to Alaska, In charge, as attorney, of the Interests of the Gold Coast Company and Its co-partners In the enterprise, with several thousand dollars worth of machinery, tools and supplies which it is well-known were bought and paid for In Portland; and, comes back with nothing to show for them and no report or accounting for what he did with the trust placed in his hands, or of the money or other things received for it, and, sues for his alleged services for the care of these very things, and makes an ostentatious display of his suit, before rendering any report or accounting for what he did with the trust or any money that may have come into his hands by reason of it. The public, to which he plays, may well wait and see how he accounts for the trust placed In him, in the court of his own choosing. In his own suit, before being influenced by his statements. D. H. STEARNS, President Gold Coast Company. Divorce Suits. Judge Cleland yesterday heard testi mony In the divorce suit of Daisy S "Matchette against Frank E.

Governor Yn Hslen Swallowed Gold Leaf and "Died" Occurrences Reported by Minister Wu. WASHINGTON, Oct 25. The Chinese Minister has received a dispatch stating that Kang Yi, a member of the Cabinet with Hung Li, and one of the intense antl-forolgn leaders whose punishment, was demanded by the powers, died of ill ness the ISth Inst.; also that Yu Hslen, the late Governor of Shan SI, who Is said to have been responsible for the death of many missionaries, has committed sui cide by swallowing gold leaf. Minister Wu regards this act as a sign of the disfavor they have received from the throne. Kang Yi was one of the ringleaders whose punishment was demanded by the powers. He held the position of assistant Grand Secretary and President of the Civil Board, and 'also was one of the statesmen making up the Privy Council, or Cabinet, which Is the body nearest the throne. Following the demands of the powers for his punishment, an edict was Issued handing him over to the Board of Censors to consult and decide upon a penalty for his misdoing. The same edict ordered the punishment of Prince Tuan, but it was thought that the Tuan influ ence would secure leniency for Kang YI and for others. Today's dispatch shows, however, that Kang YI himself recognized that there was no hope of Imperial fa vor. Although the dispatch to Minister Wu says only that Kang Yl "died" on the 18th Inst., It Is thought that this "death" was the natural result of the disgrace which has overtaken the antl forelgn and Boxer element. Governor Yu's method of sulcldt Is peculiar to China. It Is a means by which high per sonages take their lives, the gold leaf being representative of their high sta tion. The leaf forms a ball In the canals of the body and brings aeath from suffo cation. , Minister Wu's advices today also show that Prince Tuan had been visited with severe censure from, the throne and to such an extent that It would be no sur prise if he followed the course of Kang YI and Yu. He has been prevented from accompanying the Imperial court to Sinan Fu, and remains In Shan Si, cut off from further influence on the throne. It Is expected that he will be banished, wh'oh to a Prince of the blood Is worse than decapitation, and under the Idea of pro priety suicide Is likely to be his end. Mr. Wu laid his dfcspatch before Secretary Hay. The text of the communication Is as follows: "A cablegram from Viceroy Chang Chi Tung, dated October 25, states that the Governor of Shan SI has reported that Kang Yl died October 18; that Yu Hslen (late Governor of Shan SI) has committed suicide by swallowing gold leaf, and that Prince Tuan has not been permitted to accompany the court. A cablegram dated October 24, from Director-General Sheng, states that an Imperial decree has been Issued directing Prince Chlng and Earl LI to fix and submit for approval the sev eral penalties to be Inflicted on those Princes and -Ministers that ought to be punished. He adds that Kang Yl has died of sickness, and that Prince Tuan and Prince Chwang have not beon al lowed to accompany the 'court to Shen SI. HITCH IN THE PROCEEDINGS. Four Powers Have Not Accepted the Anglo-German Agreement. WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-Jn diplomatic quarters there is felt to be some signifi cance In the fact that France, Russia and Japan, as well as the United States, have not yet accepted the Invitation to accept the principles of the Anglo-German alli ance. It Is understood that this non-action of the powers is not due to any con certed movement among them, although each appears to be halting on the third clause. A diplomatic official said today that on mature consideration of this third clause it was seen to involve two constructions: First, that if any power took territory In China as a result of the present trouble, then Germany and Great Britain also would take territory; or, second, if any country took territory in China, Ger many and Great Britain would seek to prevent this action, or otherwise jointly act against the country seeking to extend Its domains. Either construction, it was painted out, was such that the powers not a. party to the agreement could not be expected to bind themselves to Its ac ceptance. Under these circumstances It was said that the powers probably would seek to learn Russia's views en the third clause, as Russia's approval undoubtedly would remove the Idea that there Is any pos sible menace intended. But it is recog nized among diplomatic officials that It would be extremely difficult to secure an expression from Russia en this point, as an unfavorable rejoinder, which she might be expected to give, would amount to a declaration that she had some terri torial designs on Manchuria, and a re fusal to answer would be similarly open to such construction. The impression is growing among the representatives cf these powers that' the present non-actl-n will continue for some time, and that the agreement will be confined to Great Brit ain and Germany, at least until there Is a fuller understanding of the third clause than either of these governments have given thu3 far. Punishment of Guilty Chinese. PARIS, Oct. 2G. According to a dis patch from Pekin. dated October 24, to the Havas Agency, Prince Chlng and L' Hung Chang have communicated to lh,e legations the imperial decree, in accord ance with which the Princes and Minis ters responsible for the recent trouble In China are to be punished according to their respective degrees of culpability. The Emperor recognizes the fact that General Tung Fah Slang has comm'ted serious offenses, and he charges Prlnqe Chlng and Li Hung Chang to fix the ren altlc to be imposed on thoe for whom the Europeans demand punishment The communication states that the Chinese plenipotentiaries have already inflicted punishment upon some Princes. These plenipotentiaries assure the Emperor of the death of Kang Yi. Prince Tuan and Prince Schouang are not with the court. These communications are not satisfac tory to the legations. No Looting at Pao Ting Fu. TIEN TSIN. via Shanghai. Oct. 26.

Cliirin AsJcs Russia's Protection. LOiJpON, Oct 27. "Emperor Nicho las," says tho St Petersburg correspond ent of the Dally Mall, has received a letter from the Chinese Emperor, asking him to take the conquered Manchurlan provinces under Russian protection."

This makes two convictions for flrst-de-grec murder and one second degree at the present term of court Oregon statutes prescribe death by hanging for the first two crimes. It Is understood that the defense will appeal In all three. In addi tion to these three cases, Arthur Kelly. 11 years old, confessed to the killing of his fattier, and was sentenced to the Reform School.

OREGON CITY, Or., Oct. 26. In the Southern portion ,of Clackamas County, near Needy, reside about 30 families of a religious sect known as the Amlsh Memmonltes, who have done so much 'to further the Interests of diversified farming In that section of the county. These people are of .German descent, and came to Oregon from Pennsylvania. Dan Kauffman Is virtually the leader of the old school of Memmonltes. He arrived here, with a few of his followers, 21 years ago. The Memmonltes have dug farms out of the heavy timber and pros pered by closely following the details of farming In Its several branches. Dan Kauffman and several Immediate relatives conduct a creamery on the most approved plan. The creamery uses the milk from 50 cows, many of them being mixed Jerseys and producing on the av erage butter to the value of ?5 per cow monthly. The butter is sold to dealers In Portland and Oregon City, where It ranks as a staple production, always bringing the highest market price. This creamery, however, differs from other creameries In the county from the fact that tho principal feed is corn-fodder en silage, the management making a great success of silos. The ground on which the corn Is grown is highly cultivated and fertilized sufficiently to keep up its producing qualities. Stalks grow to the height of 12 or 15 feet This is the only colony of Amlsh Mem monltes in Oregon, except a small settle- J ment near Newberg, In Yamhill County. While these people are clannish, and con fine their business and social relations to their own kind, they are strictly hon orable In, their obligations, and have given their -neighbors some valuable les sons in Industry and thorough farming. The Memmonltes are facetiously called by many people of their neighborhood the "hook-and-eye , Dutch," the men using only hooks anc1. eyes to 'fasten their clothes, while , the women . use pins In stead of buttons on their gowns. The women wear a, white covering on their heads, never appealing with their hair uncovered. Of late years, however, a new church has sprung up, that now holds the larger proportion of the Amlsh population. It Is more liberal In Its views than the old-school 'organization, and permits Its members to wear store clothes with regulation buttons to a certain ex tent. Many of the young people are be coming members of the new church, prin cipally on account of Its more liberal Ideas In the matter of dress, and the fact that some of the orthodox regulations are not of such a oast-iron nature as the old organization. The women all wear plain colors, and many a Memmonlte girl looks with longing eyes at the bright colors worn by her companions at school. Pnget Sound Navnl-Stntlon Wharf. SEATTLE, Oct. 26.
