AN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
MacArthur Pushing Opera
tions Against the Tagals.
HAKING USE OF VOLUNTEERS
Reinforcement Belnsr Sent to the
Several Divisions In the Islands
Warehouses Congested.
MANILA, Nov. ZL General MacArthur
ras asked today whether the result ot
the Presidential election in the United
States -was In any way responsible for
the orders to push operations against the
Filipinos. He replied that the result or
the election was merely coincident with
other features of the situation. He add
ed tht.t the return of the soldiers and
marines from China, with the recruits
whd had arrived recently, would Increase
the' number of troops to 70.000. The en
largement of the facilities, the ending
of the rainy season, better roads, Im
proved transportation and the desire to
make the most efficient use of the volun
teers before their term of service expires
!ln June, are all contributory to the most
active campaign.
k Concerning the replacing of 35,000 volun
teers, General MacAruthur said he favors
the establishment of a standing army of
75,000 men and authorizing the President
to Increase It to 100,000
The General said he was enlarging the
force in General Young's district to near
ly 7000 men: that heavy reinforcements are
being sent to General Hughes, in the
Island of Paiay: that more troops had
been ordered to Southern Luzon, and that
various column movements had been
planned.
The stranding of the coasting transport
Indiana is causing a long delay in reach
ing a number of the remote coast Sta
tions in Southern Luzon, which had sub
sistence to Novomber 1 only, and will
have to depend largely on foraging until
the Indiana is floated or another steamer
Is xecpred.
The customs warehouses are congested,
which is delaying the commerce of Ma
nila. General Smith, the Collector of the
port, at a meeting today of many im
porters, urged the necessity for the re
moval of the goods The merchants talk
of organizing a company for the erection
of bonded warehouses
The soldiers and marines who have re
turned from Ch'na are selling quantities
of curios looted from the residences of
the nobility or wealthy persons at Pekln
and Tien Tsin. Many of them are valua
ble and ridiculously cheap, and a number
of such presents have been sent to the
United States for Christmas presents.
VOLUNTEERS' HOMECOMING.
All
Who "Want to Come Will
Be
Brought Home by July 1.
"WASHINGTON. Nov. 21. Adjutant
General Sorbin authorizes the statement
that It is the intention of the War .De
partment to bring home from the Phil
ippines to the United States every one
of the volunteers who cares to come, and
discharge them here, on or before July
I next, when, under the law, the volun
teers must be mustered out, It Is the
expectation and hope of the War Depart
ment that the comingCongress will, early
InJts session, enact legislation which will
enable the department to replace the pres
ent volunteer force by a permanent force.
In that case, such of the men in the ranks
es caro to continue in the service will be
re-enlisted as regulars and any vacancies
that may exist through the muster out of
the volunteers will be supplied by origi
nal enlistments in the United States. It

are received.
TREATIES WITH CHINA.
A General Stipulation on the Subject
In the New Treaty.
(Fropa Washington Letter to the New
York Journal of Commerce.)
The conclusion seems to have been
reached at Pekln to conclude peace with
China without undertaking at the present
time the complete revision of the treaties
of commerce. A general article will be In
serted in tbeay oE peace subscribed by
the powers, providing that China shall
consent to the revision of the treaties ot
commerce, but shall deal with each power
separately Whether the results of these
negotiations will be so satisfactory as a
general treaty, guaranteeing to the citi
zens and subjects of all the powers com
plete freedom of traffic In the interior of
China, remains to be seen Ifc appears to
be thought at the State Department, and
among some of the Ministers at Pekln,
that difficulties and delays would arise in
seeking to deal with desired changes In
detail at the present time. It may be pos
sible for the leading powers to secure
concessions regarding interior trade which
will drive the entering wedge for like
concessions to all Most of the powers
are entitled to the privileges of "the most
favored nation" and will be able to ask
for themselves whatever is granted to
any of the other powers. The fact that
the Chinese Imperial Government con
sents to the revision of the treaties as a
general proposition Is considered here an
important point for securing what the
clvilixed powers desire. The process of ob
taining further concessions may be slow,
but it is hoped that pressure upon the
Chinese Government will .secure them as
fast as they can be really availed of.
Many of the concessions heretofore grant
ed by China to capitalists and syndicates
have been little more than, waste paper,
because the syndicates have not proceeded
to carry out their plans. When a syndi
cate or group of capitalists is able to
demonstrate its readiness to proceed with
actual Improvements In China, it Is be
!!eTriLat.the State Department that lit
tle dlfflcHlty will be experienced in, getting
" coant r the Chinese Government.
The treaty of Simonesekl. by which
peace was made between China and Japan
in 1S6. affords the basis for liberal de
mands by the other powers in the revision
of the commercial treaties. The treaty
with Japan granted nearly all the privi
leges in respect to interior traffic and the
location of manufactures which could be
desired. Technically, citizens and subjects
of other powers were entitled to the same
privileges under the provisions of their
treaties for the treatment accorded to
the most favored nation " These privi
leges have not been fully availed of. be
cause Japan did not take the inltiativr
Now that general revision of the treaties
is to be- granted, it will be difficult for
China to refuse to the other powers the
Kraat by express terms of what she has
granted to Japan While the provision
for separate treaties on commercial mat
tew may lead to some competition be-J
vween lae powers ana an effort to secure

terests under the guarantees given by all
the powers for the maintenance of the i
open door None of the civilized powers
will be in a position to dictate terms re
garding customs duties or commercial
privileges on Chinese soil, except so far
as advantage may be obtained by in
trigues at the Chinese Court. The danger
that any of the powers will attempt to
impair the Integrity of China now seems
to have passed, unless Russia should be
dilatory in withdrawing from some of the
territory she has occupied. It is not be
lieved that she will dare resist the wishes
of the other powers in this matter. In view
of the unanimity which prevails among
them against the partition of the empire
or the impairment of the sovereignty of
the Chinese Imperial Government.
The settlement of the indemnity for re
cent outrages does not seem to have pro
gressed very far at Pekln It has been a
serious question all along whether the in
hdemnlty could be settled without .grant
ing the control of Chinese finance to an
International board If the customs duties
can be raised sufficiently to pay the Inter
est on the indemnity, this may obviate di
rect interference with Chinese Internal
finances at the present time. The pledge
of the customs will Involve the assump
tion that the principal of the indemnity
is not to be directly paid at present. It
will be necessary for the powers to give
guarantees, however, of the steady pay
ment of interest on the bonds if a market
is to be found on them on the stock ex
changes of Western Europe The Chinese
people, of course, are in no position to
absorb the bonds themselves, as was done
by the French people In the case of the
Indemnity to Germany, and it would be
necessary to make some provision for
putting them on the market on reasonable
terms if this matter ot settling the in
demnity were adopted. It might be pos
sible for each of the governments In
volved to hold the bonds In their own
treasuries, for thls would afford the
strongest hint to the Chinese Government
that the Interest must be promptly paid
if trouble was to be avoided. It is not
believed here that the objection Is a valid i
one against raising the customs duties,
that the burden qf paying the indemnity
would thereby be Imposed upon foreign
exporters. It is believed that the ex
porters would be able to raise their prices
to purchasers In China to cover the added
duties, in view of the fact that they do
tiot encounter Chinese competition. From
a'polltical point of view, the proposal to
increase the duties seems to be' regarded
as the simplest, since the machinery of
collection is already- under European su
pervision, through the management of Sir
Robert Hart. Difficulties attend all phases
of the problem, however, which may yet
result in some friction between the
powers.
ECLIPSED ALL RECORDS.
October Exports Heaviest in History
of United States.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2L-October ex
ports ha'e broken all monthly records in
the history of the commerce of the Unit
ed States. The 10 months of 1300 ending
with October also break the record of
exports for the corresponding period of
preceding years, and give assurance that
the calendar year 1000 will show the larg
est exports in the history of our foreign
commerce.
The total exports during the month of
October, as shown by the records of the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics, were $163,
033,597, or practically double the exports
of October, 1S94, when they were $83,653,
12L The total for the 10 months ending
with October, 1900, is $LlS4,i75,205. or prac
tically double that of the 10 months end
ing with October, 1S3A. Exports exceeded
imports during the 10 months" ending -with;
October by practically $500,000,000, or, to
be exact, $499,667,936. while in the corre
sponding 10 months of 1$9 imports ex-!
ceeded exports by $96,663,369,
The year 1900 will, for "the first time In
the-history of our commerce, show an ex
port of moro than $100,000,000 value in
every month of the year, while for the
first time a single month October, 1900
passes Ahe $1S),000,000 line, being as already
stated, $163,09&,597, against the highest pre
ceding record of $13-1,157,225, which was
made In March, 1900.
Agriculture, mining and manufactures
have Jointly contributed to this enormous
Increase in our export business. The de
tails of the 10th month of the year. Oc
tober, have not yet been completed, but
those fof the nine months ending with
September show that agricultural exports
are $50,000,000 greater In 1800 than In 1S99;
manufactures. $00,000,000 greater; products
of the mine. $7,000,000 in excess of the
corresponding months of the preceding
year, and the products of the forest $5,
000.000 greater than In the nine months of
1S99.
It is especially In raw cotton and manu
factured Iron and steel, however, that the
greatest growth is shown. Exports of
cotton In the single month of October
amounted to over $60,000,000, against $28,
000,000 In October, 1839, $30,000, in Octo
ber, 189S, and $32,O00,0)0 In October, 1S97.
Manufactures of iron and steel show for
the nine months ending with September
(October details not yet being available)
are $97,313,090, against $76,569,205 in the cor
responding months of 1599, $59,990,665 in the
corresponding months of'1838, and $45,693,
SS in the corresponding months of 1S97,
having thus more than doubled in three,
years' time.
The following table shows the exports
from the United States In each month of
the year 1900, comparing the same with
those of the corresponding months of 1S91:

Gharscd With Criminal Libel.
Henry F. Cassidy was arrested Saturday
evening at Baker City on warrants sworn
out by Letson Balllet, on two charges of
criminal libel, one growing out of an ar
ticle aPPring in the Herald under Cas
sldy's management, and the other for thi
circulation of a handbill Saturday, attach
ing the plaintiff, over. Cassldy's signature
immediately after his arrest Cassidy wai
arraigned before Justice of the Peace
Me&slok, and waived examination. He
was held to answer, with bonds fixed at
$250 on each charge. J. H. Parker and
mlllam Pdllman went hisf security. This
makes three different charges of libel on
which Mr. Cassidy has been arrested and
admitted to bail. The Circuit Court con
venes Monday, and as criminal cases an
the first called for trial, it is possible
these libel suits will be disposed of early
in the week.

NEW PARTY .NEEDED?
(Continued from First Pare.)
but the Republicans, armed with the pas
sions and prejudices of the then recent
conflict, prevailed, and enacjed that pay
ment be made in coin. After 1896, another
step In fojjy was taken, and payment In
gold is now required. The gold standard
was adopted and the policy of the coun
try, founded on 6000 years experience, re
versed. Time will demonstrate that the
Democrats were right on all these propo
sitions, and consistently on the side of
the people.
But a. young country, like a young per
son, may live down a, folly, and in that
way issues become dead, though the
cause was Just.
New Issues will arise. If ( the present
the Republicans wlU be found clamoring
increase in the output of gold continues,
for its demonetization and that the ex
clusive power of making money be grVen
to the .banking trust. "A large standing
army will be demanded, new fields of
criminal aggression will be found; trusts
and imperialism, rank in the nostrils of
the people, will grow and flourish as nev
er before, while the National crime, al
ready committed by us in the Philippines,
will burn and burn Into the .conscience of
our people. These islands will be our Ire
land, and an ever-recurring source of
trouble and shame on our heads. These,
will be some of the issues of the future.
The "new departure" ofVallandlgham
was not a reorganization, but the drop
ping of past Issues and the taking up of
new ones.
When McKlnley and certain little Re
publican statesmen of Oregon founa
themselves on the sliver side of the fence
and out of alignment with their party,
they did not reorganize; they just flopped
over and became good gold-standard
loons.
The action of the Kansas City conven
tion had my hearty approval. I hdve no
criticism to make of the campaign nor
its management, neither have I any ad
vice to offer for the future. None is
necessary. There is a line of demarka
tlon between the two parties, as distinct
as between day and night. It is clearly
distinguishable from the dayar of Whig
and Tory, Jefferson and Hamilton, down
to the present, and It wllj probably con
tinue to the end of time. I am satisfied
that when the next Democratic conven
tion assembles, representing the plain,
common people, and following, the tradi
tions of the past, It will meet the issues
as they arise.
While no man Is absolutely necessary
to the success of the Democratic party,
Bryan Is a man of such great ability, of
sterling integrity and patriotism; so true
tc American Ideals, that I hope to see
him renominated and elected In 1904. '
The "future may be dark; the fact that
good Christian employers of labor re
quire their Democratic employes to march
In, Republican parades and vote the Re
publican ticket bodes no good for the
country. A subsidized press, controlled
by syndicates and trusts, giving false
news and logic to the public, Is more
dangerous to our institutions than the
combined anarchists and armies of the
world. Yet I believe the cause of justice
and right, and the plafn common sense
o the American people, will finally pre
vail, and the Democracy will be trlumph

JUST THE SAME OLD PARTT.
It
Needs No Reorganization,
and
Wants No Cleveland et al.
ASTORIA, Or., Nov 19,. (To the Ed
itor.) The Democratic party needs no re
organization. It Is already well organ
ized. The old-time Democracy is making
aMetrmlpedUatatodaganst'cenfrallzSffXoa.
which is "now manifesting itself in the
virulent forms of plutocracy, trusts and
imperialism. The Philadelphia platform
of the Republican party is revolutionary.
The principal features of the Kansas
City platform will stand for the sobr
second thought of the. American people.
The Democratic party Is In need of nei
ther the advice nor the presence of Mr.
Cleveland, Mr Carlisle. Mr. Dickinson,
Mr. Whitney, or men of their type. They
chose to fiddle while Rome burned. The
Democratic party has twice been forced
to shoulder the odium of Mr. Cleveland's
Administration and at the same time
fight him. All Democrats who are worthy
of the name of the party which Jefferson
founded have returned to the fold. Let
the Republicans who claim to be Demo
crats remain where they are.
As to the future course of the' Demo
cratic party, It will go on fighting the
battles of the people until their rights
are obtained. The course of the trusts
since the election is enough, in Itself, to
show what they expect at the hands ot
the present Administration. It Is their
Administration It they will use. As to
Imperialism, the Supreme Court alone can
now save the Declaration of Independ
ence and the .-Constitution from further
desecration. Democracy hopes for the
best.
The Democratic party has a history of
100 years. It does not have to trace Its
existence through a calcined record of
abandbned principles and dead parties.
It does not have to apologize for Its
founder, Jefferson, the Democrat, as the
Republican party does for its founder,
Hamilton, the aristocrat. The Democratic
party has .not always been right on all
things, but it has always stood out the
bold champion of "equality before the
law."
Before the Republican party came upon
the stage, the Democratic party was here,
upholding the Declaration and the Con
stitution. It will be here when the Re
publican party, as does it predecessors,
molders in the dusts of time.
GEORGE NOLAND.
NEW LBASB1U, NEW PRINCIPLES.
Tho Party Needs Them, or Defeat
Will Be Inevitable.
PORTLAND. Nov. 19. (To the Editor.)
In my mind there Is no doubt that the
Democratic party needs -something badly,
and doubtless that something Is reorgan
ization. It appears to me like a sick man.
In negd of medicine, though it is painful
ly evident that during the last two Pres
idential campaigns It has taken medicine
In allopathic doses. A party whlcbi
through its platform and candidates for
the Presidency, drives. from Its folds as
many prominent men as have left the
Democratic ranks since 1896 is certainly
wrong somewhere, and the weakness
should be located and. If possible, re
paired. It Is a fact, however, that the
leaders of the party, as at present eonstj.
tuted. are not likely to accept advice from
those men who have refused to support
Bryan and Bryanlsm, and perhaps it Is
presumptuous and impolitic for such men
to tender same. I believe, though, and
ardently hope, that the defeat of 1396, re
peated this year with heavy interest, will
have effect upon the managers of the par
ty and the party organs, and that,
through sheer necessity. If for no better
reason, a platform will be framed in 190
around which all the various elements of
the organisation may loyally rally, ana
through which those who refused to aid
the party In its drift toward Populism
and anarchy may renew their allegiance
to their first love.
Newspapers which subserviently sup

THE TREATMENT THAT CURE
Dr. Copeland's Kbtt Treatment,
that has lifted the dnrlmess and
blight of the -word "lacurstble" from
hundreds of thousands of these
cases of diseases la the Throat,
Bronchial Tabes and Lungs, vrorlca
its curative action tor tvro reasons!
(1) It reaches every- core spot, front
the orifice of the .nose to the deepest
part ot the lungs, to the Innermost
recesses of the middle ear.
(2) Instead of irritating,. inflaming,
and fc-eding the fires of the disease,
it soothes, quiets, heals and cures.
What is the treatment that cures these
conditions, once regarded Incurable? By
what procesu does It restore the diseased
membrane, remove the poison and relieve
the soreness ot disease? Let the expe
rience o persons cured and being cured
tell.
How It Cures Catarrh.
Here is a patient taking treatment for
Catarrh 'of the Head. He breathes the
soothing medication through .his nostrils
and the nasal channels open up, the
8tuffed-up feeling in the head leaves and
he can breathe naturally through the
nose again. The dull pains across the
front of the head fade away, and the
nasal membrane is soothed until the in
flammation and soreness are all gone.
The bad odor of the breath passes away,
and the lost sense Of smell returns. The
dropping In the "throat is checked, the
nose does not stop up toward night any
more, the sneezing and snuffing have
ceased, the discharge from the nose
grows less and less and finally stops al
together. The disease has been checked
and eradicated from the system before It
ever reaches the throat. It has not been
driven down into his throat or Into his
lungs or into his ears, as Is often done by
other treatments.
How It Cures Diseases of Throat
Here is another patient who had Ca
tarrh In the Head. He caught cold after
cold, and the disease spread down Into
his throat. He breathes and drinks In the
disease-banishing medication. It bathes
the membranes of his head and throat.
The soreness of the head and throat be
comes less, and the desire to hawk and

eign competition, ana not to add to me
profits of the trusts, and if a man of
Cleveland's stamp be- made the Presiden
tial .candidate, "Strenuous" Teddy will
know he has had a fight. If he Is In It
at all. If all the prominent Democrats
In the Union were active politicians, It Is
possible the party might have avoided
the disaster which has befallen it, but
In National, as well as In local, striro,
those who would rule must exert them
selves, and the Bryanlte alone were act
ive. The result was probably beyond pre
vention, and perhaps the baptism of fire
was a necessity.
With National conditions In their pres
ent state, I have little hope for Demo
cratic success In the Oregon state and
Congressional elections In 1902. TW Bry
an handicap will remain a burden which,
will not be perceptibly lightened before
another National convention maybe not
then. SHould the Administration of Mc
Klnley become particularly offensive, or
tho Republicans paralyze themselves by
internal- dissensions, there is 'a faint
chance for Democracy, but tfiese are Im
probable contingencies, and my conclu
sion is that Oregon Democrats will suffer
through the Impractical fallacies of the
National organization.
EUGENE SHELBY,
' Revelations From Crete. ,
Archaeologists are now looking to Crete
for new light upon the history of Greek
civilization In Its earliest phases, the
origin of the alphabet as we have it and
the source pf the first Greek ideas of
art. Excavations recently made in that
island give promise of great results. At
Knossos the English explorers during
the past year have made discoveries
which eclipse. It is said, everything that
has been done since Schllemann's dis
covery of the royal tombs of Mycenao,
the materials already found being of a
nature to revolutionize our Ideas of pre
historic Greece. Thucydldes speaks of
Crete as the center of a great maritime
empire ruled by King Minos during a
period anterior to history. The excava
tors have found a palace, throneroom
and throne which they are ready to be
lieve were occupied by this legendary
potentate. Tho palace Is a huge building
with a maze of corridors, tortuous pas
sages, small chambers and blind alleys,
which suggested the labyrinth of tradi
tion The "labrys," or double-six, en
graved on the pillars the emblem of the
Cretan Zeus explain the origin of the
name labyrinth. The rooms contain pic
tures, statues, vases, scripts and libra
ries of inestimable value for the historian
of civilization. The culture Indicated is.
of a high order and. greatly superior to'
the culture that existed In Greece for
a long time after the Dorian invasion.
'It shows traces of Intercourse with both
Egypt and Assyria.
At another place the DIctaean Cave,
where the god Zeus waaworshlped from
the earliest times, was explored, and
thousands of votive offerings were found.

How It Cures Deafness.
Hire is another patient who for years
had been a sufferer. Every fresh cold
seemed to stay longer than former colds,
and he noticed that his ears got stopped
up and his hearinif became duller and
duller, and there were ringing and buz
zlnir noises in his ears. The -Catarrh had
passed, upward and backward from the
throat along the Eustachian tubes leading
from the throat Into the ear. Ha bad
visited Throat doctors and Ear doctors
and Catarrh doctors, without relief. In
this rondltion we find him inhaling the
never-falling medication, and soon he no

stop" there is no more discharge, the
hearing gets better and finally the tubes
of the eaxs open up and something seems
to give? way in tho head. His hearing has
completely returned. No wonder he con

How It Cures Bronchial Disease
Here Is another patient who was always
sensitive to the weather. He contracted
Catarrh of the Head, and it passed to tho
Throat, then down the Windpipe and Into
the Bronchial Tubes. He coughed at
night so that he could not sleep; there
was pain behind the breastbone and under
his shoulder-blades. When he coughed ho
brought up a frothy, grayish material,
streaked with blood. He lost appetite and
strength. He tried cough syrups and dif
ferent medicines to no avail. He now
breathes in with full inspiration the re
storing and soothing medicine. The sore
spots along the Bronchial Tubes heal, the
cough ceases, the pain leaves. The appe
tite 'and strength return. He is again
a well and happy man.
