CONSIDERED AT CABINET MEETING
General MfccArthur Eu Mapped Oat
m Oarefnl Plan of Campaign
Slbutu and Caffnjran.
WASmNGTON, Nov. 9. All the mem
bers of the Cabinet except Secretaries
Long and Wilson attended the meeting
today. They remained In session until
nearly 2 o'clock, and discussed the Chi
nese situation, as well as matters per
taining to Cuba, the Philippines and Por
to Rico.
Two of the three hours that the session
lasted were occupied In a discussion of
foreign affairs, necessitated In part by
the fact that the President Intends to
treat this subject exhaustively in his
forthcoming message to Congress. Ref
erence was made to the expressions In
portions of the European press that the
United States policy regarding China
would undergo a marked change after
the election. It Is authoritatively an
nounced that, after an exhaustive review
of every step of the Chinese difficulty,
from its inception up to the present 'mo
ment, by Secretary Hay, the Cabinet rat
ified every detail, and, moreover, unani
mously expressed Its Judgment that the
policy so far pursued should be continued
without change to Its logical conclusion.
Accordingly, the present legation guard
at Pekln will be maintained, and such
troops as yet remain to be withdrawn,
according to the original programme, will
be shipped to Manila. With this addition
to his force. General MacArthur Is ex
pected to renew the campaign against the
rebellious Filipinos wlth the greatest en
ergy. Administration officials here think
that as soon as the result of the election
becomes known throughout the Philip
pines, the resistance to the authority ot
the United States will be overcome.
TO CRUSH THE ItEBELLIOX.
General 3TncArthur's Plan of Com-pnla-n.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9. According to a
special dispatch from Washington to the
Tribune, the operations to crush the Tagal
rebellion, which are about to be begun
and prosecuted with extreme energy, are
to be of a thoroughly comprehensive char
acter, the plan of campaign having been
prepared by General JIacArthur last
month, aftor a council of officers.
The plan has received the un
qualified approval of" the War De
partment without material modification.
It Involves extensive naval co-operation,
Including all the regular warships on the
station, as well as the numerous gun
boats purchased from the Spaniards,
wh'lch are to be distributed in flotillas,
each with a large flagship. Admiral Re
mey, on the flagship Brooklyn, has just
returned from China to Manila to assume
personal charge of the operations afloat
which Admiral Kempff, in the Newark,
already at Cavite, has been mapping out
In conjunction with General MacArthur
for several weeks.
The details of the campaign are closely
"withheld at the War Department, be
cause everything published In this
country is sent by cable to tho
various Philippine juntas, especially
Jo that at Hong Kong, and In
tome mysterious manner Agulnaldo Is
placed In possession of the Information
litftlme to take counter -moves forhis own
security.
But the departure for Manila yesterday
of two animal transports each with sev
eral hundred cavalry horses and pack
mules for Vlgan, in Northern Luzon, and
for the Southern islands, indicates that
the period of garrisons remaining on the
defensives la about to give way to rapid
offensive movements In the strongholds
of the enemy.
Coupled with the announcement of the
beginning of a rebellion-crushing cam
paign, the preliminary orders issued some
time ago for bringing home the volun
teers have been rescinded for the pres
ent. It was intended to start the first of
these men home about December 1, in
order that they could all be discharged
In compliance with existing law before
Juno 30, 1901. It was estimated that the
22,000 volunteers now In the Philippines
could not bo returned on the regular army
transports and chartered vessels In less
than five months.
It Is now expected that fully one-half
of the volunteers now in the Philippines
will be anxious to re-enlist and remain in
the Islands. In that case the transports
can easily bring home the remainder In
tho three months. The military force un
der General MacArthur, including the
troops coming back from China this week,
aggregate 71,000 officers and men. in ad
dition to S0O0 marines and 6000 naval offi
cers and enlisted men. The total strength
ashore and afloat exceeds that of last
"Winter by nearly 12,000 men.
5IBUTU AND CAGATES.
Poatiilqn of the Islands by the
United States Is Xeccessnry.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 9. Because the
cession of the islands of Slbutu and Cag
ayen, of the Philippine Archipelago, must
be ratified by the Senate, tho officials of
the State Department positively decline
to discuss the transfer, which was re
ferred to yesterday by the Spanish pre
mier. Still, the fact Is not concealed and
was sent out In these dispatches about
two months ago that the transfer had
been arranged, as far as the executive
branch of our Government could effect It,
The State Department officials .regard the
Islands as absolutely necessary to com
plete American soverlgnty in the Philip
pines. Lying, as they do, to the south
west of the group of Islands, and In on
of the most Important channels of com
munication. It would be. in the opinion of
the department, a most dangerous course
to allow them to fall into the hands ot
another power and thus constitute a per
manent menace to American sovereignty
in the Philippines. They were excluded
from the original cession by the geo
graphical boundaries laid down In the
treaty.
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
Bishop Potter, of Neir York, Testifies
Yesterdny.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. Bishop Henry
C Potter, of New York, testified today
before the Industrial Commission. He
spake en sweat shops, arbitration and
other questions. He said he had more
confidence In voluntary organizations to
meet evils that grow out of the sweat
shop systems than In legislation. He ad
vocated a permanent commission to medi
ate between capital and labor organiza
tions, and was disinclined to favor com
pulsory arbitration. With reference to
the recent anthracite coal strike, the
Bishop was asked for his remedy for dif
ferences where employers absolutely re
jected every attempt at mediation with
employes, especially where the public at
large would suffer from the cessation of
operations Incident to the dispute.
"I knowna coercive measure that- I
could recommend to meet such a condi
tion." he replied. He placed more value
In sound public opinion solving the trou
ble than any coercive measures, and
thought the remedy really lay In the
Intelligent organization of labor. Compul
sory arbitration, he conceded was less an
evil than a long strike or a lockout. He
cccamended the disposition of working
men to aoospt any suggestion looking to
settlements with employers. There was a
general feeling among employers, he said.
In favor of organization among employes,
attributable both to a spirit of fairness
and a preference to deal with k Tespon
slble union rather than with Individual
employes.
He commended the organization of
ohambermalds in the West to ascertain
the solvency and character of employers.
.Labor, he said. Is not well rewarded vol
untarily by any one. That was the key
note of the labor question.

BASEBALL DEAL.
American Leasroe Will Enter

Eastern Field.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9. The Times-Hera'd
says: '
Before the close of next week one
of the most Important baseball deals of
recent years will have been concluded,
according to a statement made by Presi
dent Johnson, of the American League,
before leaving for the East. Professor
Johnson, In company with Charles Comls
key, of Chicago, and Connie Mack, of
Milwaukee, left for the East last evening,
and the intimation, was given that several
Important announcements may be looked
for In the next few days. The party
started for Washington and will be joined
on the way by C. W. Somers, of Cleve
land. The committee will be gone about a
week and when It returna the plans for
the expected deal will have been com
pleted. The American League has decided to
enter the baseball fiela in Philadelphia,
and It was said that Connie Mack will be
manager for the new Quaker City team.
President Johnson made a flying visit to
Milwaukee Wednesday and returned with
Conn.le Mck after he had had a confer
ence with Matt Klllllee, of the Milwaukee
Club. It was said that the owners of the
Milwaukee franchise will have an In
terest In the Philadelphia Club.
"This trip will be Important for the
American League and for baseball in gen
eral." said President Johnson before he
leftt "We expect to have everything
cleared up before we return, and some
thing Interesting may be looked for. A
meeting of the League will be called as
soon as we return and ihe plans as made
will then be voted on. We certainly ex
pect to put clubs In Washington, Balti
more and Philadelphia. We shall have
strong teams in. each city. In Baltimore
we expect Grau and Robinson as man
agers and good men will also be placed
In the other two cities If the plans we
have In view go through. We shall prob
ably be ready to announce what cities
will be dropped next week."
President Johnson explained that there
was no thought of dropping Milwaukee,
but he would offer no explanation why
Connie Mack accompanied the committee
East.
Besides the meeting of the American
League next week another conference is
scheduled for this city. The National As
sociation has given It out that it will hold
& meeting here In a few days.

PARIS, Nov. 9. The Chinese yellow
book, whrch was distributed In Parlia
ment today, shows that early in March
M. Delcaese. the French Minister ot For
eign Affairs, urging a combined naval
demonstration in view of the agitation
in China, was opposed by a majority of
the powers. Lord Salisbury saying that.
In view of the uncertainty It W8S prefera
ble to let the situation ripen, pointing out
that the Government of the United States
had already declared It would not partici
pate in a naval demonstration, which was
contrary to its. policy.
Count von Bulow, German Minister of
Foreign Affairs, under date of April 7.
also thought the trouble in Shan Tune
Province had completely calmed down.
Jules Cambon, the French Minister at
Washington, under date of April 5, in
replying to M. Delcasse's Inquiry as to
one American vessel, with British and
German ships, belng'scnt to the Gulf of
Pe Chi Li, says the Washington Govern
ment thought the growing agitation of
the secret societies Justified precautions,
which ought to take the character of a
Joint demonstration of the powers, as
Minister Conger requested. Secretary
Hay thought the fears manifested in
China were exaggerated.
M. Cambon, June 8, reported a conversa
tion with Secretary Hay, who said Mr.
Conger was only Instructed to do what
was essential to protect American inter
ests. Mr. Conger did not desire to amal
gamate his action with that of the Euro
pean powers.
The most interesting dispatch in tho
book, to Americans, Is the dispatch which
M. Delcasse sent to the French Ambas
sadors at Washington and St. Petersburg
September 18, as follows:
"The Ambassador of the United States,
at my reception yesterday, was pleased to
recall that since the commencement of
affairs In China, France, Russia and the
United States have acted together In per
fect agreement. He believed that this ac
cord would be maintained, and that the
United States would retire from Pekln on
the same condltons as France and Russia.
I told General Porter that the manifes
tation of this continued accord was calcu
lated to Influence the definitive resolu
tions of the -other powers. Such is the
opinion of General Porte, who believes
Japan will be the first to follow the ex
ample." The French Minister at Toklo Septem
ber 15 announced that Japan would with
draw her unnecessary troops and her Le
gation from Pekln.
The text of M. Delcasse's reply to the
Anglo-German agreement, October 30,
runs thus:
"The government of the republic has
for a long time past manifested the desire
to see China open to the economic activ
ity of the whole world. This explains
the speedy adhesion it gave In December
last to America's proposition, which was
dictated by the same preoccupations. The
government affirms all the more readily
the principle of the Integrity of China,
Inasmuch as it made It tho base of Its
policy in the crisis whereto the common
efforts of the powers tend to secure a sat
isfactory solution. Universal acquiescence
to this principle appears to the govern
ment a sure guarantee of its observ
ance, and If, In spite of every expecta
tion, it should be Impaired, France would
be guided by circumstances in safeguard
ing her Interested and treaty rights."

WHO BUILD THE CITIES.
A Correspondent "Who Disputes 31 n
jor Scars' Economic Law.
BUTTE, Jdont.. Nov. 7. (To the Editor.)
Two contributions In The Sunday Ore
gonlan call for more than passing re
mark: Mr. A. B. Hammond's letter and
Major Sears' semlscleritltic discussion con
cerning the transportation problems con
fronting Portland. The views of these
two gentlemen each a master in his spe
cial domain are so Irreconcilable that a
layman may be pardoned tor offering
some suggestidns regarding this all-Important
topic.
That the law- of "geographic conditions"
stated by Major Sears has been a con
siderable factor in the location and
growt.1 of cities I do not controvert; but
that he makes a most 'serious mistake
when he says that upon it "Portland may
sleep," I haven't the slightest doubt.
Dven so late as 0 years ago it might
have passed unquestioned; the history
of the leading ports of the world seemed
to afford conclusive proof; but the enor
mous strides in rahroad building during
the last two decades; the wonderful en
gineering feats performed; the hitherto
apparently Impossible problems of trans
portation which unlimited capital has so
easily solved, have produced so much new
evidence that the verdict of geographic
conditions is likely to be set aside, and a
new one, based upon the genius of man,
aided by the power of capital. Is being
written on the records of history. There
Is no disputing the fact that the Columbia
gateway is the natural outlet to, the sea
of all the products of the Inland Em
pire; but It Is also a fact that already
two great transcontinental railways tra
verse the State of Washington and climb
the Cascade Mountains, in order to reach
tidewater at Puget Sound, both of which
have expended millions of dollars In build
ing tunnels to reduca the grades. It Is pre
posterous to say that those companies will
ever abandon those lines to seek a grav
ity route to Portland via the Columbia
River. Even against the ever-contlrluln
drawback of such a grade they will con
tinue to haul all the freight they can get
to the cities on Puget Sound, and at tho
same charge as by the downgrade of the
O. R. & N. to Portland. True, either or
both of these companies may yet build
another line down the Columbia In order
to secure a still greater proportion of
the Increasing tonnage of Eastern Wash
ington and at greater profits than the Cas
cade haul permits, but they will not have
to do It.
The financial reports of the great rail
way systems show that each year the
percentage of expense to earnings Is de
creasing, and at the present development
along such lines no one dare say that
the time is not near at hand when meth
ods vastly superior to any now in use
will enable the cost of the Cascade' haul
to be cut In two. J. J. Hill, A. B. Ham
mond and C. S. Mellen are practical rail
road managers. They know to a quarter
cent what it costs to haul freight 10ft)
miles; and I would rely .upon their Judg
ment concerning matters of transporta
tion problems before all the scientists
and theorists in the world. It seems to
me that Mr. Mellen's statement tnat it
tnkea more than a "favorable location"
to found a great city is Indisputable fact.
Whether true or not. It certainly Is the
safest theory for Portland to adopt. She
may hold her prestige for a long time
without any special effort to aid her su
perb geographical position; but the day
will surely come when. If she sits supine
ly lnactlve4 the refrain of the firs that
fringe its noble waterway to the sea will
be: "Where, Oh where, are the ships of
Portland?"
Mr. Hammond's letter is manly, cour
ageous, and to the point. It seems great
ly to be deplored that he should be com
pelled to put such a great enterprise as
his railroad on tho defensive and ex
planatory before the people of Oregon. I
am told that Mr. Hammond was Connecti
cut born, and business-bred in Montana, a
state which is famous for producing great
financiers. When upon Yankee shrewdness
is .engrafted the expanslveness of the
West, the combination is one which is not
only safe, but bound to produce great
results. That the commercial genius of
one man Is greater than all the advan
tages of natural location has been demon
strated again and again all over the
world. Mr. Hammond Is a railroad build
er, not a wrecker, and his Astoria rail
road Is acknowledged to be one of the
best ever built in the West; his friends
say he never did an inferior piece of work
In his life. Now that such a man has
cast his lot with. Oregon (for to say that
he has Invested millions in order to build
up Astoria Is as foolish as to say that
Jim Hill began his great railway system
to boom St. Paul). It seems to me that
he ought to be welcomed and supported
loyaly by Oregon as the genius of her
slumbering Industrial development. Not a
lukewarm support, but commensurate
with the great investment be has made,
the confidence he has shown in Its future,
and Its Importance as an adjunct to Port
land's growth. With her vas resources,
many of them so remote from transporta
tion that they canont be developed, with
her incomparable harbors and waterway,
Oregon sits at the gateway to Oriental
opulence, while California and Washing
ton rob her of her products to load their
railways and steamships. Her sister state
on the north, long a territory after Ore
gon won statehood, outstripping her in
population and wealth, with three times
as many miles of railroad, though with
less number of acres of agricultural land,
wins the day by virtue of ignoring Major
Sears' deceptive law of "geographic con
ditions." I am not pleading for Astoria, but for
Oregon and Portland, when I advocate
making the former a common point with
Portland and Puget Sound ports. If Major
Sears' economic law is still true, It will
not affect Portland lnlmlcally, and If It
is not true, as I believe the fact to be,
the only effect will be greatly to Increase
the export of wheat and flour from the
Inland Empire via the Columbia River,
of which Portland will continue to do the
largest part. If it shall be a good thing
for Portland to get the Northern Pacific
or Great Northern to come down the Co
lumbia River, It can be brought about In
no speedier way than to divert twice as
much wheat -from Eastern Washington to
Portland and Astoria as Is" now being
hauled by the Q. R. & N. Double the ton
nage to Portla'nd and Astoria, and the
railroads will follow very soon. Such a
result will also be a determining factor
with other important railway lines, two
of which are already feeling their way to
the Pacific Coast.
With the re-election of McKInley, the
next four years will be fraught with an
industrial development In Oregon and
Washington whose magnitude cannot be
foretold. Our wheat, lumber and fruit will
find demad beyond ability to supply; pop
ulation and wealth will grow unprecedent
edly; but it will not be Oregon's If we
sleep and trust to Major Sears' economic
law. The city where I pen these words
Is an instructive example. Millions upon
millions of tons of copper ore are taken
from the mines within Its borders; and
you would suppose all of the smelting
would be done right here to save freight.
But at least ono-thlrd of this vast output
is hauled 150 miles by railroad, crossing
the continental divide on grades as heavy
as those of the Cascade Range, to the
town of Great Falls. This Is done by Jim
Hill, who determined to have a city on
his transcontinental road that would fur
nish business to It; and he has made
there the second city in Mpntana, besides
having a valuable feeder to his main line.
I think a much truer law would be: God

SOLES MADE FROM SCRAPS
Invention "Mint Will Hnrt the Sole
Leather Combine Scrlonnly.
"Next Winter you'll be wearing shoes
with soles made, from leather scraps"
said the manager of a Massaohus.etvst
shoe factory recently to a writer, Jn a
trade Journal. "No. they won't be p.'eced
together, if that's what you mean by
asking If such soles won't be rough look
ing. The leather v.ttl be made much
after the process that turns ."wood pulp
into paper, only the pulp will be made
from leather. Some grnious ha invented
machinery which will take a pujfp made
of leather scraps, preys and .maid U into
a solid mass and run it out at the other
end a continuous strip of shoe sole. You
will soon be able to buy cole leathar by
the yard and at a pr cc that will make
going barefoot a po3lt!v3 c-lme.
"Sole leather has been costing us from
IS to 30 ccn,to a pound for year?. There
is a grefit deal of waste 'and practically
no use for the scraps. A small quantity
Is used lu making dyes, and the manu.
facturcrs' of case-handle 1 steel find use
for a little more, but the, bulk o. K Is
thrown away. This new process will use
all the scraps which can bo secured and
wilt bring the price of sole leather down
to 5 cents a pcunl. The leather manu
factured In this way will havg no piles,
and for that reason 'will turn water Det
ter. It should make'a hjg dmerahce In
the price of the cheaper grades of shoes."
