THE MORNING OREGQNIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER" 1, 1900. REPUDIATES BRYAN Sanderson Reed's Reasonsfor Supporting McKinley. FIRM FOR THE GOLD STANDARD Strong Democrat Who ! Jfot Dis turbed tjr Imperialism or tho Dread of auiltarlam. Sawlerson Heed i & Democrat, and when his party Is right on great questions he votee Tvlthr it. Four years ago he re pudiated Bryan. Tills year he had hoped to go back to his o.d party, and he would bav done so had It not gone daft at Kansas City. When the nominations were tn. e he plainly saw that It 'was liS5 ever again, and announced that he would vote for McKinley. Asked his reasons yesterday for supporting the Republican ticket, he said: "As -to the financial Question: There cannot be two standards or measures of values, as there cannot be two measures for a bushel of wheat. The legal tender and the value of things of the country snust bo based on one measure. The plan of twp standards or measures of value Is no more attractive to mo than are Individuals with two rules of con duct, two standards of right, one to bo invoked for their own protection or profit, end another by which they misjudge every one else, one standard by which they are always right and another stand ard by which eery one else Is always wrong. I am moro positive on this point now than four years ago. "As to trusts: I think the man who has (brains enough to organize and handle large Interests should not be denied the right to use his ability, so long as he does not try to acquire a legal monopoly. Illegal trusts, or monopolies, In the course of time will be limited as far as laws can limit such matters. But they belong to no party. Thoy are the offspring of no party or parties. Prominent men In both parties are interested In trusts, whlcn nre merely corporations with an, unusually large capitalization. "As to imperialism: I suffer from an Inability to understand what this term implies. Discussions of Imperialism, ar guments against imperialism, have no place from which to start; they reach no conclusion. What constitutes the danger to the United States In connection with imperialism I cannot learn. If Mr Bryan eees this danger, it Is surely hard to de scribe, for It it not stated in his speeches eo as to be understood. "As to foreign entanglements: This country recehed Its Independence from foreign entanglements and as soon as ft avoids foreign entanglements, through fear or Indolence or otherwise. It will loso Its Independence and become subject to a braver nation. A country may no more avoid foreign (entanglements than a man can human entanglements. There Is Just one Influence in international mat tors, and that is force. One hundred and twentj-flve 5 ears ago we begged aid of Spain against England, and to ome ex tent got It. At the same time we were also begging aid from Prussia, Three years ago we fought Spain, and when German warships were uncivil In Manila Bay, k was pleasant to know that by virtue of foreign entanglements we would not have" to fight England, at that par ticular time, at any rate. Should we ever have to fight "England, it will be the busi ness of our Secretary of State to entangle Russia on our side, and I believe we can do it. I am a believer in a single standard in this matter, also. I have no ties with any other country there Is Just one standard for me in this and that standard is the United States. "As to the Judiciary: "Tho United States Supreme Court Is Jn my opinion the great est tribunal on earth. To discuss the evil effects tf what I consider an unfounded attack upon it would consume too much time and space. About the worst that can be said of it Is that it Is human, and not infallible. On this point It is not clear that Mr Bryan can furnish any improvement. Our Federal Courts are composed of men appointed as Democrats as well as Republicans. It is not vain glorious to say that no courts stand higher than the courts of the United States, the world over. In short, I resent an attack on the courts, and am prepared to support the courts, regardless of party. "As to militarism: It Is weary work try ing to discoer danger to this Republic from our Army. I heartily trust Congress will Increase our Army in order that tho Philippine Islands may be quickly reduced to order. When that Is done there will be opportunity for defining a policy with regard to them." SOLDIERS' UALIT. Veteran of All AVnrs nt the Taber nacle This KvenlnfiT.

And Xott He "Will Probably Vote the Republican Ticket. A. Virginia Democrat, a resident of Portland, a man who was firm In his support of Bryan and his opposition to the trusts and the Republicans, recently went back East on a considerable bust-. nets errand. He took letters that brought him into relations with important houses. Xesterday a letter was received in Port land from him. in which he made the following statement: "It seems to me that nothing can be done till after election. Manufacturers end capitalists are much worked up over tho election. They feel like tho re-election of MoKlnley will boom business and the election of Bryan, to pay the least. very much depress it." This wm a business, not political, letter, tut U U prerjsiftd that man -who has f T J , - -- investigated for himself and found the facts to be as be gives them will not vote for Bryan. Seventh.

ALL RAILROADS BOOMING. Affent Barker's Month In the East Vle-rr of Politics. A. G. Barker, general agent of the Chi cago & Northwestern, returned yesterday morning from a month's trip in the East his first visit to that country in six years. Mrs. Barker and their daughter went East with him, but they remained to vls't several weeks with friends In Minnes'-tn. "We found a great deal of hot weather, marvelous railroad activity and general prosperity back there," said Mr. Barker to a reporter. "Most of our time was spent In Wisconsin, our old home, but Re also visited In Illinois and Minnesota. There Is a great deal of Interest In the election. Confidence In the election of McKinley was general, but tho very pos sibility of Bryan has an Important effect on business. I saw Senator Spooner a few days ao when he had Just returned from West Virginia. He and I have been ln tlmato almost from boyhood, and & was eager to get his real opinion of the doubt ful states. He said he believed West Vir ginia would be safe, and that Now York and Indiana would also go Republican. I also saw William F. Vilas in Mad'son. and I have no idea he will vote for Bryan. Bob LaFollette Is making a magnificent canvass for Governor, and the chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Committee told me ho thought the state would give a Republican majority of 125,000 votes. Bryan has absolutelv no show there. "They've been waking up In railroad building back there In the past few years. All the big lines are making Improve ments In track and rolling-stock and gen eral facilities for business. 1 noticed this I more particularly on tne Madison division of the Northwestern, where I was famll lar with conditions for many years. The Hne Is now double-tracked for. a stretch of 213 miles toward St Paul to EIroy Junction, and In all respects is up to or above the standard we used to think only possible on a few roads In the far East. Other lines are making similar ad vancement, and all are fairly swamped with traffic. ' "The head officers of our line to Chi cago expect much of this country. They regard It as big with promise, both as to Us internal development and the Oriental trade that Is beginning to break this way. No other part of the United States seems to have the attention that Is now directed to the Pacific Northwest. All lines wish to be In position to participate in our business. "When we moved to Portland, n years ago, both Mrs. Barker and myself were homesick and wanted to cet back to the East. But we' soon got over that, and nothing could hire us to return there to Itvo now. The weather up to last Friday was hotter than our midsummer, and then It turned, and In 24 hours It rained more Jn Winona, than Jt rains In Oregon in a month. I was mighty glad to get home." U?fIOX PACIFIC HOSPITAL HTJIfD. An Order Made for the Ds chare e of Receivers. ST. PAUIj, Minn., Oct. 31. Judge San born made an order today for the dis charge of the receivers of the Union Pa cific Railway Company as receivers of the hospital fund upon their paying into the registry of the jcourt the remainder of that fund, which" has not bean dis tributed and placing their report on file for the time prescribed by tho rules of the court. The amount of money for dis tribution to those who contributed to the hospital fund of the railway was $54,292 30. Tho amount of claims allowed was 3259, 749 33. The number of the allowed claims was 12.4S1. Allowed claims to the amount of 35559 36 have not been presented to the receivers for payment, and that amount of money was ordered by the Judge to be deposited In the registry of the court to be paid to the claimants as they, appear by the clerk of the court at Omaha. No fees or allowances were asked by the re ceivers, their counsel or the special pay master for the services of administering and distributing this fund, and none was allowed, but the entire fund was distrib uted to tho contributors after deducting the actual necessary expenses, hire 01 clerks and printing. No objection was made to the report of the receivers, ana they were commended by the court. About 100 odd claims have not been pre sented. Kansas Oiry Southern Affairs. NEW YORK, Oct SL The Mail and Ex press says: "One of the new members of the Kansas City Southern voting trust said today that there was no intention of 'operating the Kansas City Southern in connection with any of the Southwestern systems that have taken a financial Interest In It " 'It will be conducted strictly on Its merits,' he said. Those who have re cently been In control of the property have been disposed to conduct It in rather a reckless manner, and to make it profitable as a rate-slasher In Southwestern traffic affairs. "What Is proposed now Is to main tain rates by means of the Kansas City Southern and not to shatter them. Presi dent Knott is entirely satisfactory to the management aa. an operating man.'

WILL GET A FOURTH CHANCE. Beaten on the Demurrers, the Fire men's Salt to Be Pushed Acrain. In the suit of M. M. Bloch against the City of Portland to recover -firemen's claims. Judge Sears yesterday decided that the complaint does 'not show that there ws a proper presentment of the claims to the Board of Fire Commission ers, and therefore' that there was no cause of action alleged. The statute pro vides that such a claim shall be Pre sented to the Secretary of the Fire Com missioners with the necessary evidence In support of It The allegation. In this case Is that the claims were presented to the board and rejected by the presi dent of the body, and this the Court held was Insufficient Judge Sears de cided that when a statute provides that a claim must be presented to a particu lar officer It must be done that way, and that the authorities so hold. If the Mayor Or Auditor is mentioned. It will not do to aver that some other official waa waited upon. The-declslon was ren- Tiered on the demurrer to the third amended complaint, which was sustained, and would be fatal to plaintiff's inter est If he could not make a further show ing. This he will do, however, as his at torneys asked leave to amend and will plead that the claims were In fact pre sented to tho Secretary of the Board ot Fire Commissioners. This will make the, complaint good, and the matter will then be a question of proof upon the trial of tho case upon Its merits. Collector's Decision Final. Judge Bellinger yesterday rendered a decision lh the matter of the hatoeas-c-pus cases of Lu Ping and Lun Tow. Peti tioners are Chinese boys 16 and 18 years o age, respectively, whef wore refused permission to land here by Collector of Customs Patterson. They have certifi cates of their student character, vised by the American. Consul at Canton, which conform to the requirements of the act of Congress In respect to the admission of persons of this class, but were refused admission on the ground that the evi dence produced by the boys was insuffi cient and unsatisfactory to fcrove their right to land. It was contended that so far as the fact in these cases was con cerned there is no question about it; that the statute decides that there is nothing left for decision, but the Collector has de cided that there Is a question for de cision, and his decision Is final. In other words, the law has charged the Collector with the duty of enforcing this statute, and the fact that he disregards It doe not Invest the courts with Jurisdiction to enforce It To Condemn Sliding: Land.

Dr. Wlthycombe- 'Writes of Condi tions in Wisconsin Better Here. Dr James Withycomb, vice-director of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Sta tion, is now in the East observing the work of the experiment stations and the methods and results of various agricul tural operations, particularly dairying, tn a letter from Chicago, under date ol Ootober 25, he writes as follows, to Gen eral Freight and Passenger Agent Mark ham, of the Southern Pacific, who Is taking a deep interest In the development of the dairying industry of Western Ore gon: , "Perhaps a few facts relating to the status of dairying in Wisconsin, Minne sota and Iowa, obtained from personal observation and from those engaged In the Industry, may be of Interest to you, "During the past month I have had the pleasure of making a tour of the experi mental stations and some of the principal dairying sections of the states mentioned. The trip has been full of Interest to me, and affords ample opportunity for a stua of the methods employed In dairy hus bandry and. the various details connected therewith. Conditions are quite favorable for dairying In these states, although no mote so than they are in Oregon. The rich sojl and the splendid water fur nished by the almost innumerable lakes of Wisconsin and Minnesota contributed ma terially toward making these sections de sirable ones for dairying. These lakes ore more or less deeply fringed with rich grazing land, well sodded with bluegrass, making almost ideal cow pastures in the Spring and Fall. But our 'comparatively short Winters and the abundant crops or valuable protein-giving plants we can grow more than offset the advantages possessed by these states for successful dairying. "A visit to the dairying sections of these states cannot fall to Impress one favora bly, as the ear-marks of prosperity are ir. evidence on every hand. To Illustrate this point perhaps statistics obtained in Jef ferson County, Wisconsin, will best serve my purpose. This county has a popula tion of about 40.000, people, and there are 40,000 cows kept In the county, yielding an annual rovenue from skim-milk, butter and chees of 2,000,000. Before the ad vent of dairying there, grain-growing was the principal agricultural industry. Dur ing this period the average crop of wheat dropped to about eight bushels per aero and 60 per cent of the farms were mort gaged. Since the Introduction of dairy ing the average yield of wheat has been brought up to 22 bushels per acre and the farmers have $2,000,000 deposited to their credit in the banks of the county. The phenomenal growth of the Industry In this county Is largely due to the personal efforts of ex-Governor Hoard and to the Influence of his splendid paper. Hoard's Dairyman. "After Investigating the dairying Indus try here, my convictions ore materially strengthened in the fact that the cow will ultimately become the corner-stone of agricultural prosperity in our state, probably more especially so in Western Oregon. "From here I go East to visit the prin cipal experiment stations and the older dairying sections." PERSONAL MENTION, W. F. Butcher, of Baker dty, is at the Imperial Hotel. J.

John Socle Consents That the Road Go Throasn His Land Under Certain Conditions. It is now considered reasonably certain that the railway spur from the O, R. &c N. will be built to St Johns by next July. Within the past tew days the mat ter has assumed such a shape that the -opposition of John Mock, through whose waterfront the railway will extend for a considerable distance, has been withdrawn and he will grant a right-of-way 60 feet wide, on conditions. Mr, Mock said yes terday that the proposition had this time come in such a form that it meant some thing. He had been censured, he said, for refusing a right-of-way, but remarked that he had been asked to donate right-of-way through his land without any re strictions or advantages, and with con ditions that he could not accept but under the present form it meant business to that section. The proposition which was acceptable to Mr.. Mock was In this form: It Is proposed to Mr. Mock that Wolff & Zwicker will expend $100,000 at St Johns toward the construction ot shipyards by July next This firm secured the first ot tho year about 90 acres of the MInar tract, 10 acres of which is on the Wil lamette River, for the purpose of estab lishing a large shipbuilding plant Mr. Mock wanted something" of a definite char acter, showing that the railway wfiuld be built and that the enterprises that had been, talked of would be started before he would tie himself up to any proposi tion in the form of a right-of-way. He said yesterday that a large shipbuilding plant wpuld help him very much. It would build up that entire section. It would also help others on the peninsula. Under this view, he said he would donate the right-of-way, as he could see a fa vorable outcome. The proposition was that $100,000 would bo expended by May, but Mi. Mock said he was willing to ex tend the time till July. Mr. Mock now seems to think that the outlook for the construction of the switch and starting the shipyard at St Johns Is encouraging. The matter of building the switch has been talked about for sev eral months, and the route it will take has been surveyed. It will extend from the Portland Flouring Mills and follow the windings of the bluff to some extent, but will cut through the bottom land of the Mock tract A fill Is proposed here, A right-of-way 100 feet wide was first asked, but this was refused. The 60-foot right-of-way Mr. Mock proposes to donate on the conditions stated also carries with It the privilege of filling, so that really 100 feet will be taken up. It will not take up any more land. Cone Bros., who are building a sawmill at Portsmouth, between the Jetty and the bluff, will benefit from this switch, and tt Is considered that it will encourage sev eral other enterprises. If the conditions offered Mr. Mock are compiled with work on the shipyard will soon commence at St. Johns and also work on the switch. Archaeolofi-lcnl Studies. The Interest that has been aroused In archaeological studies by the Alpha Archaeological Society at Folrvlew among the young people of that neigh borhood is remarkable. Whllo social in object It Is much more. Papers ore read bearing on history and research. At the first meeting In October an exceed ingly Interesting papT was read on "The Naming of Mount Hood" by F. Conly, which Bhowed much thought In prepara tion. At the meeting held Monday even ing last W. John read a paper en "The Pacific .Northwest Chronology," that was very creditable to the writer. At each of the meetings held "finds" are reported and additions made to the collection of relics and specimens. The collection of specimens, which are mostly Indian rel ics, has been placed In the old school building, whero the meetings of the so ciety are now held, and where the ar ticles are open to inspection. Every member of the society is a collector, and from the outside many valuable specimens havo been sent Those who have seen the collection say It Is valuable, and one of which the organization may be proud. The books procured from the Sm'thscnlan Institute through Senator Simon have been received, and are valuable to the members. It was suggested some time ago that the collection should be moved to Portland, but of course, the members would not listen to such a proposition, and since then they have gone on mak ing additions Until it has nearly doubled. The specimens have not yet been classi fied and labeled, but that will be done later. At present the object Is to Increase it as much as possible. Meetings are held twice a month. Rev. W. T. Scott. Pres byterian minister, and A. L. Stone, a prominent citizen of Fairvlew, are among the supporters of the organization, and they express themselves highly pleased with the progress made in archaeological studies. R. Hofer, a young man who for merly lived on the East Side, Is president of the society. The character of the work accomplished thus far commends it to high consideration. Dangerous Runaway. A dangerous runaway occurred at Sun nyside yesterday afternoon, and It might have resulted seriously had not the horse been caught in time to prevent his run ning over several women. Just as the crowd came out of the house of Isaac Brown, on Belmont street, Sunnyslde, where the funeral of his daughter Ollle was being held, a horse attached to a de livery wagon camo running from down the street on the sidewalk, which was then crowded with women who had Just come from the house, and who had not observed the horse. Several men tried to catch the horse without success. G. Thomas managed to seize the bridle and by crowding the horse against the fenco got him stopped Just before he plunged Into the crowd of women. Three-Linkers' Bnnquet. The members of Industrial Lodge, No. 99, I. O. O. F., of Alblna, held their annual banquet and anniversary exercises at their hall Monday evening. There Was a con siderable attendance of the members, with some visitors from the outside, and the Reasons Why We Are Successful. Our Success Can Be Traced to Our System of Employing the Best Talent That Can Be Procured. , The public may not be aware (hat the best talent In the Dental profes sion is In the market today. But such is the case. For instance, we have in our employ an operator and also a mechanical mart who. so far as we have bten able to ascertain, are the best that can. be procured anywhere, What is true of these two is also true ef all in our employ.

Tour reporter unconsciously did me an Injustice In yesterday's paper In hla re port of the proceedings of the meeting of the Manufacturers' Association, when ho made me say that the section known as Eastern Oregon and Washington was the only portion of the country fit to live In. What I said was that the territory lying between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean and the Slsklyous and the British Columbia boundary is the only part of the United States fit to ttv In. I am an expansionist and think too much of the rest of the territory nnnwfl not to Include it in making such aa. as sertion. C. W. HODSON. . i NortliTrest Pensions. WASHINGTON, Oct 27.
