THE MOTCNTNfr (TREGONIAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 190& B INSULT BY TURKEY Refusal to Grant Exequatur to American Consul. VIOLATION OF TREATY RJGHTS Request Rejected on the Grounds That Harpoot la Jfot a Com mercial Point. CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 23. The Porte has definitely rejected the request for an exequatur for a United States Con sul at Harpoot. This refusal is regard ed by the United States Legation as a direct violation of the treaty rights, and, consequently, despite the refusal, Thom as H. Norton, who was appointed by President McKlnley some time ago to es tablish a Consulate at Harpoot, has been directed to proceed to his post. The ex pected rlslt of the battle-ship Kentucky to Smyrna is believed to relate quite as much to this matter as to the Indemnity question. NOT REPORTED IX WASHINGTON. Peculiar Claim of the Turkish Gov ernment. WASHINGTON. Nov. 23. The refusal ot the Turkish Government to grant an ex equatur to the American Consul at Har poot has not yet been notified to the State Department. It was scarcely ex pected that such notice would be made, as the Turkish way generally is procras tination, rather than direct refusal, which serves the same end, without giving tan gible ground for reprisals. Dr. Norton, who was appointed Consul at Harpoot. has been in Constantinople awaiting his exequatur about three months. The claim of the United States In this case was based upon article 2 of the treaty of May 1. 1830, which reads: "And the Uniten States may appoint their citizens to be Consuls and Vice-Consuls at the com mercial places In the dominions of the Sublime Porte, where it shall be found needful to superintend the affairs of com merce." The Turkish objection to the establish ment of a Consulate at Harpoot and Kr zera has been based on the rather novel reason that there was no commerce at these two points, and It has been rather difficult for our officials to establish the contrary proposition. But some time 'ago the Turkish Government accorded to the British Government the right to establish a Consulate at Harpoot. and the State Department Immediately based an addi tional claim on the "favored nation clause of its general treaty, which would appear to warrant it in demanding the same privilege of establishing a Consul ate at a given point In Turkey as was granted to Great Britain.

X.Iat of Some of the Treasures That Hrve Enriched the World. PORTLAND, Nov. 23. (To the Editor.) In these closing days of the century we naturally look back over the years to find what has como to us to enrich and benefit our lives. Not among the least of the treasures that will-be carried over are the songs. Let me call attention to some of them. Of patriotic eongs we have "The Star Spangled Banner." by Francis Scott Key. written In 1814. So long as "Old Glory" waves this tong will be sung. "My Coun try, "Tis of Thee" was written by a theo logical student at Andover, Mass., In 1833 Rev. Samuel P. Smith, who became a noted preacher In the Baptist denomina tion. Not a child in the land but sings it. "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." beginning "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord," was written by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe In 1861, and no song did so much to thrill the army of freedom aa this. It has a permanent place in the National hymns. It Is a little remarkable that the great Civil War produced no great National eong. unless "The Battle Hymn of the Re public" be so counted. There were war songs many, but they will not last. "Marching Through Georgia" and "Dixie Xand" are best remembered. In songs for the home the century gives us one that Is immortal. So long as men sing. "Home. Sweet Home" will touch the chords of the heart. It was written by John Howard Payne early In the cen tury. Another song that will live la that eweet melody by Stephen Collins Foster, "The Old Folks at Home." or. as it Is better known. "Way Down Upon thn Euwanee River." This will hold Its place with "Annie Laurie" as a sweet home melody. In sacred songs the century has pro duced no writer as prolific as Charles Wesley or Isaac Watt?. but there are many hymns that have the breath of Im mortality. In 1S41 Sarah F. Adams wrote "Nearer. My God, to Thee." a hymn that for broad grasp of truth and felicitous expression has no superior. In 1830 Rev. Ray Palmer gave the world "My Faith Looks Up to Thee." a hymn that will not be lost. "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." by Phoebe Cary. Is a gem of first water, written In 1S51. In 1S1 Professor J. H. Gllmore, of Rochester, gave the words of "He Leadeth Me" to the church and It la found In every hymnal. Cardinal New roan's hymn. "Lead. Kindly Light." Is deserving a more popular accsptance than has been, accorded It. probably because the measure of the poem Is too stately for adaptation to modern music "Abide With Me." by H. F. Lyte, writ ten In 1M7, Is a hymn for the ages. The same may be said of the stanzas. "O Worship the King, All Glorious Above." by Sir Robert Grant, written In 1SS0 "Holy. Holy, Holy. Lord God Almighty." has a grandeur of thought and expression that Insures It a permanent place. It Is from the pen of Bishop Reginald Heber, 1S27. Of missionary hymns, the two great est are "From Greenland's Icy Moun tains." hy Bishop Heber. 1S19. and "The Alornlng Light Is Breaking," by S. F. Smith. 1843. "Sun of My Soul. My Sa vior Dear." by John Keble, 1827. is en titled to rank as a great hymn. "In the Cross of Christ I Glory," by Sir John Bowrlng. 1S2S has a large place In Chris tian song. "I Love to Steal Awhile Away from Every Cumbering Care." or iginally written "From Little Ones and Care." Is one of the world's sweetest evening hymns, written by Phoebe H. Brown. In 15 , Of the triumphant hymns, nhrec may be named "On the Mountain Top Ap pearing." by Thomas Kelley. ISM; "Hall to the Lord's Anointed." by James Mont gomery. 1S22. and "Watchman. Tell Us of the Night," by Sir John Bowrlng. 1823. Perhaps the most prolific hymn-writer of the contury has been Mrs. Frances J. (Van Alstine) Crosby, but while her songs ere full of sweetness and have filled a large place. It is not sure that any of them may be called great. "I Am Thine O Lord. I Have Heard Thy Voice," Is as likely to live as any. "I Love Thy Kingdom. Lord." by Tim othy Dwlght. Is a great hymn. These are only -a few of the rich treasures of song that the old century will bequeath to the now. Let me close by calling attention to two hymns that have led more souls to personal faith than any others. "Just As I Am, Without One Plea," by Char lotte Elliot. 1836. and "Almost Persuaded," by P. P. Bliss. 1862. Some one has said: "Let me make the jongs of a nation and I care not who makes their laws." If these songs are to fhapo the character of our Natlpn In the new century, we have little cause for pes simism. Rudyard Kipling's Recessional, "Lest We Forget," has many of the elements of a great hymn, but while several at tempts have been made to set It to music, nothing has been produced suited to the popular ear. ALEXANDER BLACKBURN. MAHAN ON NATIONAL POLICY Physical Force Must Back Up Any Effective Diplomacy. New York Journal of. Commerce. In the October number of the North American Review, Mr. Josiah Quincy, writing about the position of Russia In China, undertook to show that the rela tions of the United States .toward the far Eastern problem are fundamentally dif ferent from those of the allied powers. He went on to say that In spite of our large Army In the Philippines and our troops now in China, no sane American thinks that we will fight any other mem ber of the concert, whatever may be our policy or our Interests, either to prevent the dismemberment of China or to se cure any share in the partition for our selves, or to reform the Chinese Govern ment, or even to maintain the open door for our trade. This was urged as afford ing a cogent consideration in favor of keeping out of any complications that may lead to war between the powers: "for If we do not mean to fight, neither do we want to suffer any loss of dignity or prestige." In the current number of the North American Review Captiln Mahan defines the nature of the relations of the United States toward China in a way that Mr. Quincy thinks impossible for any sane American. Captain Mahan labors under no illusions about maintain ing our "dignity and prestige" by the skillful use of phrases. In China or else where. He sees very clearly that we can not be sure of the commercial advantages known as the "open door" unless we are prepared to do our shire in holding it open. More explicitly, he makes this lu- mlnou: and statesmanlike declaration In , rcjrard to the obvious demands of our position in the far East: "We cannot count upon respect for the territory of j China unless wc are ready to throw not ! onlv our moral Influence, but. if necessity I arise, our physical weight Into the con lilct. to resist an expropriation, the result of which might be to exclude our com merce and neutralize our Influence. Our Influence, we believe and we have a right to believe Is for good; It Is the In fluence of a Nation which respects the right of peoples to shape their own desti nies, pushing even to exaggeration Its be lief In their ability to do so. But It Is vain to hope for national Influence In China unless representative Chinese rec ognize not only our Integrity of pur pose toward themselves, but our evident ability and Intention to support them against demands which overpass reason able limits, having regard not to our own Immediate Interests only but to the gen eral Interest of the world, from which we cannot dissociate ourselves In this mat ter without ultimate National Injury." The general tenor of Captain Mahan's argument Is one with which our readers are sufficiently familiar. It Is that In this closing year of a century It has come to pass that the commerce of the world has become the prize competed for by all the great states of the world. The power to produce Is only one element In the com petition, and a power to exchange freely throughout a large section of the world's large population Is another. But in this competition most of the otates of Europe are unwilling to trust entirely to the operation of the natural forces of Indus try. Some of them feel themselves at a decided disadvantage if the Issue is to be left to purely commercial snnortm-if.. hence their desire to secure the control of I """sn marKeM Dy tne extension of terri torial sovereignty and the consequent es tablishment of preferential tariffs In the regions mastered. This nollev. Inmivo. of course, the ultimate employment of physical force, either exerted or poten tial, ana competition thus becomes con flict, the Instrument of which is not com mercial emulation, but military power on land or on sea. That la a point of view totally different from the one taken in the beginning of 1S9S by Secretary Sherman and Representative Dingley, when the partition of China seemed imminent Both argued that the dismemberment of that empire by the powers' of Europe would Involve no injury to our trade, be cause the governments In possession of the conquered provinces "would only be too glad to encourage trade with the United States." Captain Mahan perceives that nations like France and Russia are quite aware of their incapacity to sustain a commercial competition on even terms with Great Britain, Germany and the United States, and are therefore driven to seek advantages through the exercise of their military strength which their In dustrial capacity cannot secure. It Is the process of conquering markets by force that presents the real menace to the future development of this countrv. nnrf that calls for the exercise of all the weight oi our innuence to arrest. Captain Mahan Is not blind to the fact that, assuming a resolution to maintain our commercial right and to exercise in fluence in China by .encouraging and sup porting native action, we shall find our selves one of several powers, rivals In In terest, competitors, with the danger. Inci dent to competition, of degenerating Into antagonism. He makes the very Just ob servation that while this fact does not call upon us to circumscribe our Independ ence of action by formal alliance with one, or declared opposition to another power, It does demand that we rid our minds of the caricature of the independ ence, which receives frequent expression In Rords, probably because It reflects a condition of our .popular consciousness. He Is too sensible a man to share the curious opinion of Mr. Quincy that If we are forced to choose between the powers we should recognize the dominance of Russia In Asia, and act on the theory that friendly relations with her are likely to be of the greatest future Importance to our commerce. Captain Mahan takes the safe view that the only certain founda tion for harmony of action and continu ance of relations Is to be found In com mon Interests and common habits of thought. He enunciates a rule of action too often forgotten In current discussion, that we need to receive and to give sup port, and we should be ashamed to receive more than we give In proportion to our means and opportunities. Briefly, our naval command of the Caribbean Sea, as the key to the Isthmian canal, and the defense of our Interests In the Pacific, as the great highway of the commerce of the future, could hardly be successfully maintained If Great Britain were to be considered as a probable enemy instead of a probable ally. As he puts the case. In words that should be carefully weighed by every American. "It becomes a matter of patriotic duty to every citizen to con sider whether he does well to cherish old animosities: to reflect whether the period In which, historically, these prejudices have their rise Is not now as wholly past as the voyages of Columbus, or whether perchance they are rlmply transplanted to our shores from Kurope by a process- In that case most misnamed of naturali zation. That Is no true naturalization which grafts upon our politics sentiments drawn from abroad and foreign to our interests and duties." The Six Days Race. NEW YORK. Nov. 23.

St. Louis, Mo, AGAIN CLEARLY SIATEO HAT DEFINES TO THE POWERS AMERICA'S CHINA POLICY. An Appeal From the Extreme Course Suggested In the Matter of Pun ishment and Indemnities. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. The Secretary of State has addressed an identical note to the powers Interested in the Chinese situation setting out tersely and afresh the object of the United States Govern ment as to China and pointing out how such objects as are common to the powers can be best secured. The note marks the initiation of fresh negotiations on our part for the arrangement of a new basis to tide over the impossible situation created at the lalt meeting of the Min isters In Pekln. Some responses already are at hand, and It Is stated that gen erally our advances have been well re ceived, and the State Department ex presses satisfaction with the progress so far achieved. It is believed that the note is an ap peal from the extreme course suggested by some of the powers as to the treat ment of China, especially in the matter of punishment and indemnities to which the Ministers at Pekln seem Inclined. The Intent Is to push the negotiations on a more rational and business-like basis. The animal transport Strathgyie left Nagasaki this morning for San Francisco, and the animal transport Athenian, now at Shanghai, will mak a trip to Taku and then come to the United States. British Comment on Hay's Note. LONDON. Nov. 24. The Times this morning comments editorially in a some what ncrcdulous tone upon Secretary Hay'a fresh note to the powers, saying that It cannot Imagine Secretary Hay as objecting to the execution of the guilty officials after he was understood as as senting to the French proposals. It ad mits that so far as outsiders can form an opinion, "the United States appears to be the leading obstacle to the working of the concert of the powers in China." With reference to Wu Ting Fang's speech in Cincinnati promising the United States better commercial chances when peace Is restored, the Times says: "We would not advise Chinese Ministers in Europo to enter upon such a line of argument, as .there are countries where so gross a. proposal would be resented as an injury." The Dally News, evidently despondent as to the outcome of the negotiations In Pekln, says: "The concert must either dissolve or compromise. We hope that Mr. Hay will be able to suggest a com promise which all the powers will agree to adopt firmly and In unison." The Dally Chronicle remarks: "Even If the powers are -won over to the views of the United States, we do not see how matters would be advanced unless the Chinese court can be Induced to return to Pekln." ADVICES FROM WALDERSEE. Progress of Two Alltc'd Columns In the Interior. BERLIN, Nov. 23. Field Marshal Count von Waldersee cables that Colonel York's column reached Hsueng Hlva November 12. The weak garrison Immediately sur rendered. The column, commanded by Colonel Muehllensfel. the dispatch adds, is proceeding to Amkia Chwang. The health of the troops Is good. Another dispatch from the Field Mar shal says Muehllensfel's detachment, No vember 20, drove a stronger band of 'Box ers out of Amkla Chwang, after a short engagement, during which 40 Boxers were killed and latter lost eight guns'. A squadron belonging to Colonel York's col umn. It Is further announced, has at tacked the rear guard of4 the Chinese troops, retiring from Pruen Hwa Fu, on the Hwanan. The troops killed 30 Chi nese and captured eight wagons loaded with money, ammunition and equipment. United States Ambassador White had an Important Interview yesterday with Baron von Rlchtenhofen, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs. It Is understood the in terview took place as a result of In structions cabled from Washington, and that a somewhat long discussion between the Ambassador and the Secretary had reference entirely to the Ideas of the United States Government In regard to the prosecution of the war In China, and the co-operation of the United States with Germany and other European powers, and regarding the conditions for peace, espe cially the penalties to be exacted and the indemnity to be secured. It Is also understood that the most sat isfactory and most friendly result was reached and that it is calculated to put at rest the disquieting rumors recently circulated regarding exhibitions of ill feellng toward Germany in the American press, which. It has been represented here, were inspired from Washington. THE KAISER'S SPEECHES. Von Bulow Defends Them In the Reichstag. BERLIN, Nov. 23. In the Reichstag to day Count von Bulow again reviewed Em peror William's speeches. The Wllhelms haven speech, he pointed out, was deliv ered Immediately after the receipt of tho news of Baron yon Ketteler's murder. "It would be Incomprehensible," the Chan cellor asserted, "If so vicious a crime did not make the Emperor's bipod flow fas tei " The Chancellor also said no case had been reported where a German sq1 dler had acted In a manner unworthy tho good name of Germany. General von Gossler, the Minister of War. said he could not understand how one could contrast civilization with Christianity. It was their greatest glory that they had retained Christianity In the army. Today's debate, which ended at a late hour this afternoon, was the culmination of a series of sensational attacks upon Emperor William and the government over the China bill. It was an oratorical contest between Herr BebeJ, the Socialist lender, and Count von Bulow, assisted by General von Gossler, who, although somewhat clumsy, is no mean antagonist. Last Monday. Herr Bebel had demanded of the Imperial Chancellor and the Min ister of War a formal declaration as to whether It was true that the German trocps In China had received general or ders to spare no one. Neither Count von Bulow nor General von Gossler had re sponded to his demand, and Herr Bebel today read another letter. In which the writer, a soldier, pointedly asserted that everybody. Including women and children, were slaughtered In a certain engagement p a-tm v.aa.AJUfca.cJ'i onsuni?tiojn.

He also referred to yes terday's statement by the Agrarian- lead er. Baron Wangenhelm, to the effect that the Kaiser was being "systematically mis informed," and he said that this would explain the "Ill-informed speeches" of, the Emperor. In conclusion, he exclaimed: "This Is the system that Is undermining all imperial and monarchical authority." The Socialists have introduced a bill fixing the Imperial Chancellor's responsi bility, which is Jiot fixed In the consti tution. It provides that the Chancellor may be tried by a state court composed of 24 members, chosen by the Reichstag, and that the court may decree the Chan cellor's disposition or ineligibility to any office. The anti-Semites and a number of Con servatives have introduced a bill against the Immigration of Jews. . Replying to a question regarding the ex pulsion of Germans from the Transvaal, Baron von Rlchthofen. Secretary for For eign Affairs, declared international law Justified the British authorities in remov ing from the seat of war undesirable persons but Germany had energetically Intervened in favor of those expelled without cause or expelled with unneces sary harshness. Germany had, he said, also fornTulated demands for compensa tion, and Great Britain had replied that she was prepared to compensate those who had been unjustifiably expelled. MUCH TIME WASTED. Negotiations Should Be Conducted In Washington or Europe. LONDON, Nov. 23. A dispatch to Reu ter'a News Agency from Pekln, dated No-q vember 22, says: "Competent Independent judges of the present critical stage of the negotiations opine that the consideration pf all the peace preliminaries should be transferred to Washington or to a European capital and be placed In the hands of plenipo tentiaries possessed of full power to ar range the terms to be Imposed on China. Once the term3 are agreed on they should be presented as a demand not requiring negotiation with the Chinese commission ers. "It is felt that the present discussions of the Ministers, who do not possess the powers to decide on the multiplicity of propositions without reference to their governments, are bound to drag out in terminably the preliminaries and result In long delay, causing the greatest uneasi ness in the foreign communities, who an ticipate vastly increased difficulty in reaching a settlement, owing to the al leged waste of time.'-' THE QUESTION OF PUNISHMENT. Serious Divergence Has Risen In Pekln. LONDON, Nov. 24. "A serious diver gence has risen In Pekln," says the Tien Tsln correspondent of the Dally Mall, wiring Wednesday. "Japan, the United States, Russia and France favor demand ing a milder punishment than the exe cution of Prince Tuan and the others, while Great Britain, Germany, Austria Hungary and Italy deem anything less than the death penalty useless. An Im portant decision has been arrived at, how ever, that this divergence Is not to In terfere with the general peace negotia tions. Another remarkable feature of the situation is the sudden bold face of Rus sia, which now declines either to with draw her troops from the Province of Chi. LI or to hand over the railway, as prom ised." Hnppenlngs at Tien Tsln. TIEN TSIN, Nov. 24, via Shanghai. A German expedition, eonslsting of one regiment of infantry and two regiments of cavalry, left today to scour the sur rounding country. The Japanese have beheaded two spies. The Boxers bearing arais who were oa fured by the Germans have not yet been tried. ...- - . Cold weather is causing much, sickness among the Indian troops. A British citizen of Tong Ku was re cently ordered by the Russian authorities to vacate the premises owened by him within 48 hours. A company of Madras Pioneers was sent to protect this citi zen and to prevent his ejectment. Black Flags at Canton. NEWYORK, Nov. 23. One thousand Black Flags have returned to Canton, says a Herald dispatch from Hong Kong. Although the rebellion has subsided in the East River district, the disturbed villag ers are repudiating the rule of the Man darins, refusing to pay taxes. The French are extremely active, relying on the visits of the gunboats as an effective means or settling indemnities. Three gunboats re main at Shan Tak to enforce their claim of 170,000 taels. The Mandarins offer 60 per cent, which has not been accepted. There are fears of fresh outbursts of dis affection. Holds On to the Railroad. TIEN TSIN, Nov. 23. The Russian mili tary authorities announce that the order to hand over the railway has been re scinded, but no reasons are given for this step. Until Tuesday last civilians had been allowed to travel free. Since that date, however, fare has been charged, and the passage tickets Issued are printed In the Russian language.
