SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
Senator Frye Believes It Will
Pass This op Next Session.
HEAD OF FOREIGN COMMITTEE
Maine Senator Has No Desire to Sac
ceed Caaliman Davis Army
Reorganization Bill,
tEWISTOX, Me., Nov. 28. Senator Fry
started for Washington today with Mrs.
Frye. The Senator said he hoped to see
the shipping bill enacted this Winter, but
was not oblivious to the fact that the
opposition might Interpose parliamentary
tactics to prevent final action. He said
that he had no doubt the shipping bill
would pass a little later, even if defeated
at this session. The Senator expressed
confidence that Maine would not lose a
Congressman under the new census ap
portionment. When asked about the chairmanship of
the foreign affairs committee made va
cant by the death of Senator Davis, Sen.
ator Frye said:
"It Is true that the chairmanship of
the foreign affairs committee would nat
urally fall to me, but I think the com
merce committee, at whose head I am. Is
of more Importance just now, and that
I can best serve the country and Its
great commercial Interests by continuing
in my present position. The Interests of
New England In this matter are great."
Asked what his views were on the pres
ent Issue with Turkey, the Senator de
clared, that if strenuous measures were
necessary there would be nothing to pre
vent the war vessels of the United States
from making a trip up the Dardanelles,
as the United States is not a party to
the European concert touching the guar
dianship of the Mediterranean gateway
of Constantinople.
THE ARMY BILL.
Department Officials Agree on Es
sential Features.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28. According to a
special dispatch from Washington to the
Tribune, a virtual agreement upon the
essential features of proposed legislation
for the Army was reached last night by
War Department officials, with the Pres.
ident's approval, and that of the Congres
sional leaders. It provides for a perma
nent standing army organization with a
minimum strength of 50,000, to be In
creased as occasion demands by doubling
the size of the companies In the discretion
of the President as Commander-in-Chief,
and subject to the limitation of annual
appointments.
The new organization will have suffi
cient officers, about 4000 In excess of those
at present In the regular establishments,
to meet the requirements. The companies
may be Increased to HO men each with
out additional officers. Permanent allow,
ances will be made for 18,000 artillerymen
in regimental organization, who are need
ed to care for the coast defenses.
The framers of the adopted plan favor
empowering the President to enlist na
tives in the Philippines not to exceed 15.
000 men, as needed, to be organized In
regiments with American officers, after
the English manner of fighting rebellious
natives with their own "people. General
MacArthur has urged this step, and gives
assurances that he can easily select ex
perienced officers from the volunteers In

A permanent organization 50,000 strong

ment officials and Congressional leaders
that the House and Senate are prepared
to agree promptly to the new military
basis As to tho elastic features. Involv
ing the discretionary power of the Pres

to not more than double their strength,
there Is some doubt.
Legislative Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 28. Colonel Liv
ingston, the senior Democratic member
of the House committee on appropria
tions, today expressed the opinion that
the legislative, executive and judicial bill
would be ready to be reported to the
House by next Monday. He said that the
aggregate of the bill would far exceed
that of the bill as reported to the Houso
at the last session of Congress.
STATE PRESS COMMENT.

There is little use in talking about the
reorganization of the party In opposition
to the Republican party until the latter

can unite. So long as the administration
of National affairs is honest, faithful and
conducive of general prosperity, it will
be left In the hands of the Republican
party. Salem Statesman.

Varden's Western Tour.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28. Harry Varden
will make a flying trip to Colorado be
fore sailing for home, December 15. The
Denver Golf Club has been trying for
some time to get him for an exhibition
match, but he declined to make so long
a trip for one game. The golf club at
Colorado Springs (recently requested a
Varde.1 match, and plans have been per
fected so that Varden will leave the city
for Denver on Monday. The return trip
will he made one week from that date,
giving him two or three days in New
York before sailing for home.
Varden is evidently disappointed in not
being able to reach the Pacific Coast,
but that plan had to be abandoned. The
Chicago professionals, "WIMe Smith and
David Bell, are going to make a tour
of the Pacific clubs, and Varden a short
time ago wrote to Smith expressing a
wish to meet him In some matches on

Admiral Rodgers Assignment.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. Secretary

plated In the command of the Asiatic sta

Frederick Rodgers to duty on that sta

Rear -Admiral Remey, the Commandant
of the Jtatlon, a much-needed assistant.
Rear-Admiral Remey, as the senior offi
cer, will continue In supreme command
of the naval forces, and will act In the
character of general manager of the op
erations of the fleet, which will be di
vided Into two divisions, one operating In
Chinese water and the other In the Phil

ELEVEN ARMORED SHIPS
BIG CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
SOON TO BE AWARDED.
Scotts, of San Francisco, "Want Their
Share Cabans Must Wait for
' Their Independence.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28. Eleven armored
ships, to cost about 566,000.000 when fin
ished, are attracting shipbuilding experts
to the Navy Department this week, says
a Tribune special from Washington. They
will make final studies of the plans and
specifications to win In the great com
petition 11 days hence, when the bids
will be opened for perhaps the largest
construction contracts ever undertaken
at a single time by the Government.
The amount at stake at noon on Decem
ber 7, according to the Congressional ap
propriation for hulls and machinery alone
will aggregate 542,000,000, and within this
sum the bids will be confined, the re
maining $2i.000,000 required to furnish the
guns, armor, equipment and stores of the
M'NAIR DEAD.
J .vessels being reserved by the Navy De
T partnient for expenditure after the ves
I sels are launched and nearly ready for
service.
Certainty of big competition has been
brought about by the peculiar wording
of the two appropriation acts authorizing
the ships and by the delay In designing
the two classes of cruisers and battle
ships on which the Department took ad
vantage in stipulating that all bids be
opened on a single day. The act of March
3, 1899, provides for three battle-ships
and three armored cruisers and the act of
June 7, 1900 added two more battle-ships
and three armored cruisers, each class
under both acts being Identical and the
limit of cost for hulls and machinery for
each vessel being 53,600,000 In the case of
the battle-ships and 54,000,000 in the case
of the cruisers.
The probable distribution of the con
struction of the 11 big vessels has be
come very Interesting, in view of an in
terpretation of the two acts of Congress
by Judge Advocate-General Lemley, of
tho Navy. He finds that the Pacific
Coast, under the two acts, can secure
three battle-ships and one cruiser, or
three cruisers and one battle-ship, or two
battle-ships and two cruisers. The Coast
is entitled to not more than four ves
sels, being limited to two under each
act. The remaining seven vessels must be
built on the Atlantic. Each act Imposes
additional restrictions as to the num
ber of vessels which may be built by one
contracting party, and In this particular,
sccording to Captain Lemley's finding, a
bidder on the Atlantic may secure as a
maximum four battle-ships and two cruis
ers, or four cruisers and two battle-ships,
making In all six vessels, but no bidder
can secure three of one type and three
of anothef, or five of one type.
The Scotts, of San Francisco, declare
they want more than four ships and If
their bids appear to entitle them to
more than that number, the Secretary of
tho Navy will submit the matter to the
Attorney-General for disposition, and lfH
this goes against them, the builders of the
Oregon will appeal to Congress to place
them on an equality with their Eastern
competitors.
CUBANS MUST WAIT.
Resnlt of Root's Trip Will Be Post
ponement of Independence.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28. As a result of
Secretary Root's recent Inspection of Cu
ba, says a Herald dispatch from Wash
ington, It seems certain that no legisla
tion contemplating Independence for the
island will be recommended to Congress
for enactment during the coming session,
and that Cuban affairs will be permitted
to drift,
Secretary Root's trip was undertaken
in the interest, of his health, but he took
advantage of the opportunity to examine
the conditions which are the outgrowth
of American rule.
"My trip," Mr. Root said last night,
"was simply a continuation of that which
I made last Spring. At that time 1
rislted the western part of Cuba and
examined conditions prevailing there. 1
desired to see for myself the conditions
existing in Eastern Cuba and went di
rectly to that part of the island.
"I found the people generally peaceful
and contented and pursuing their ordi
nary avocations. The island is growing
steadily more prosperous and the people
eeem to be satisfied."
"What was the sentiment In the east
ern part of the island In respect to an
nexation or Independence?" the Secretary
was asked.
"I can't answer that question," Mr.
Root responded.
"Is the Cuban Convention making
progress in the preparation of a constitu
tion?" "I did not nave an opportunity to at
tend the sessions of the convention. You
know my trip was devoted to the east
ern part of the Island, and all I can
say Is that conditions there were much
the same as I found them last Spring in
the western section."
This reference to his Investigation in the
western part of the Island Is taken to
mean that Mr. Root has found that pfac-
tlcally all Cubans arc trying to acquire
education In the art of self-government
and that they are not Impatient to as
sume the direction of Inejr own affairs.
At the same time it is said he appre
ciates that the great mass of the Cu-
bans desire to try the experiment "of self
government even If the experiment should
fall and annexation to the United States
should follow.
It Is said also that Mr. Root does not
believe annexation at this time Is a prac
tical question and he Is giving it no con
sideration. He would not discuss any such
question last night. '

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S. It is probable,

entrance on the Pacific side from Colon.
Tho Bancroft herself will go from Colon
to Bocas del Toro on an expedition in

THAT SCALP BOUNTY.
Father of the Law Interposes a Vig
orous Defense of It
PRINEVTLLE, OriT Nov. 24. (To the
Editor.) As Introducer of tho bill I have
carefully noted from time to time the
drift of eentlment as expressed in your
columns and elsewhere. In reference to the
state scalp bounty law.
To use your own editorial language, In
your dally Issue of November 23, I have
seen It "bob up serenely" a number of
times during the past year and a half,
then disappear and drift along again.
And I had thought of letting it "bob,"
and say nothing, hoping that the disease
would finally run its course, and that
nature would finally assert Itself and over
come the prejudice that existed In the
beginning. However, Instead of curing
itself, the malady seems to grow In virul
ence with age. Indeed, present symptoms
point plainly to rather a chronic state of
affairs In some parts. Merely to turn,
the patient over. In order to diagnose
the other side a little, to see how It is
getting along, I wish, with your permis
sion, to submit a few statements.
I desire first to correct a wholly erro
neous and damaging statement which Is
going the rounds of the press, to the
effect that Crook County has not ony not
paid its proportion of that particular state
fund, but that It has also refused to
make the required levy that It totally
ignores the law. Not one word of such a
statement is correct. Crook County has
not only levied, but collected and turned
into the hands of the State Treasurer its
entire share of that fund.
Without consuming time and space to
enter into details as to the" enormous
destruction of property by predatory ani
mals in Oregon Eastern Oregon In par
ticularor undertaking to give a detailed
history of the many local attempts at
so-called "eelf-help" ail over, the state
to rid ourselves of these destructive pests,
I will make the statement that none of Its
promoters have ever claimed In. behalf of
this law that its direct benefits are equal
ly distributed between the different coun
ties of which the state is composed.
Neither can I call to mind a single law
in' this state wherein money is appro
priated that such money is distributed
equally between the counties.
Should strict adherence to such a prin
ciple b& insisted upon, and followed out,
the doors of every state institution In
Oregon would be closed, the State Peni
tentiary and Insano Asylum included, on
the 1st day of January next. Such a
proposition is preposterous and needs no
argument to contravert it
When tho scalp bounty bill was pending
In the lower house, a certain member
a nice, old gentleman from one of the
Valley counties, interposed some such ob
jection, to the measure. He was Imme
diately reminded that his own county had
had its shout Into the state crib up to
its eyes for 10 years- or more. "He sub
sided. Whon the vast and varied Interests that
are vitally affected, when the amount of
benefit that must accrue from some such
law, If adhered to; when ail is summed up
and given due consideration, surely no
doubt can remain of its material benefit
to the state at large. Especially is this
the case when compared with many other
state expenditures. There might be room
for a difference of opinion as to the con
stitutionality of the present law, for it
has not yet stood the test of the Supreme
Court, but the merit and propriety of the
measure could not by any possibility be
called In question.
I say the law has never stood the test
of the courts, but I overlooked the fact
that one court- has passed upon It, A
County Court over In Polk County, so the
papers said, at one of Its sittings last
Fall, declared "the state scalp bounty
law unconstitutional," and "therefore"
refused to comply with said law. I have
since thought the local paper that in
dited that particular piece of County
Court news, must have been In error.
For I have looked in vain from that day
to this to find where that County Court
passed on the constitutionality of a cer
tain other law which appropriates some
530,000 of state money about every two
years for a certain school somewhere
over there In Polk County. I believe It Is
at Monmouth. Perhaps that particular
law Is "constitutional."
Marlon County Is said to interpose a
serious objection to the state scalp bounty
law. I am the last man to go back on
Marlon County. And, while it is not con
sidered In good taste for a legislator to be
announcing In advance what measures he
win support and what not, I wish It un
derstood here and now, that If 5900,000
or thereabout of state money Is not
enough to be spent In one Oregon county,
I am willing for old Marion to stick her
spoon in some more, for I was reared
in that county.
And I read in the papers, that Mult
nomah County takes exception to this
law. It appears from statements I have
read, that Multnomah County bases her
grievance upon the ground that she does
not get as much direct benefit from that
law as Eastern Oregon, or words to that
effect. Now, that Is bad really, too bad.
Did It ever occur to the man who would
advance such an Idea that a very large
part of the City of Portland would not
be on the map today were It not for
Eastern Oregon? Did such a man ever
take a position anywhere along the Co
lumbia gorge and note the passing steam
boats and count the miles and miles of
freight cars that pass each way every
24 hours, loaded with merchandise from
and produce to the City of Portland; and
all, or nearly so, from Eastern Oregon?
Does he realize that while Portland claims
third place in the United States as a
wheat-exporting point, that there are sin
gle counties In Eastern Oregon which
furnished more of that wheat the "past
Summer than the whole Willamette Val
ley put together? Did he ever consider
that all we have, and are, begins In
Portland and ends at the same place?
And that Portland, which Is Multnomah
County, owes It to herself as well as to
us. to allow us to do business on business
principles?
No, there can.be no question whatever
about the merit of that or a much similar
law. It might be a good Idea to amend
It in some particular, but so long as Or
egon Is Oregon, so long as this state Is
composed of such widely diversified in
dustries, and covers such a vast and
varied territory, some such measure
should be found among our statutes; not
only should be found upon our statute
books, but should be enforced for there's
the rub. J. N. WILLIAMSON.

SPECIAL
WARDENS KILLED GAME
SHARED WITH INDIANS IN THIS UN
LAWFUL SPORT.
According to the Report of an Agent
In Utah Governor Thomas
Misinformed.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.-Some inter
esting correspondence has taken place
between the Interior Department and
Governor C. S. Thomas, of Colorado, and
Indian Agent Myton, of the Uintah and
Ouray agency, in Utah, as the result of
reports of incursions of Indians on Colo
rado lands In quest of .game. Governor
Thomas has sent several telegrams to the
department complaining of the alleged
depredations, while Indian Agent Myton
has reported that the Colorado game war
dens In at least one instance shared in
the unlawful sport.
Governor Thomas, November 19, after
some fruitless correspondence regarding
Indians alleged to be slaughtering deer
in Colorado, wired:
"There is authentic Information from
game wardens that Indians are still in
Rio Blanco County slaughtering deer.
This condition cannot be endured by set
tlers long. If the Federal authorities can
not remedy this evil, the state authori
ties must, and at once."
Agent Myton, in response to telegrams,
wires that from all he could see and
hear there had been about 25 Indians
hunting in Colorado at one time or an
other during the. Fall; that he started
them all home, and was assured by the
police that they had all left the state;
and, moreover, that he had not heard of
a single case where the game warden
had ordered the Indians home, and one
of the Indian police had Informed him
that a deputy warden actually went hunt
ing with the Indians. Commissioner
Jones, In reporting to Secretary Hitch
cock, said:
"I am convinced that Governor Thomas
has been misinformed, If not purposely
deceived, as to the true situation. It is
difficult to reconcile the zeal of game
wardens in sending sensational reports to
the Governor regarding the conduct of
Indians with the, fact that not one of
these appears to have made the slightest
effort whatever to Induce the Indians to
desist from the alleged unlawful slaugh
ter of game, but that, if the Indians are
to be believed, the deputy game wardens
fraternized with and professed friendship
for them, telling them that but for the
opposition of their agents they might
come to Colorado."
Secretary Hitchcock, November 23,
wrote Governor Thomas, expressing the
hope that if these Indians return or oth
ers are found hunting in violation of the
law, they will be arrested and punished
by the courts.

preachera' meeting, Dr. EUot's admir
able paper on "Inspiration," I am rep
resented as having said I had received
more aid irom certain books than the
Blblei I intended to say that by. Chal
mers, Robertson, Channlng and .Dewey
I had been more stimulated to thought
than by any other books outside of the
Bible. If I were going to the Klondike
region, and could take with me but two
books, I would carry the Bible and
Shakespeare. If I could take but one,
I would have to leave Shakespeare at
home. Queen Victoria Is not a great
woman, but she is great enough to ac
knowledge that the Bible Is the secret
of England's greatness. Webster and
Lincoln studied the Bible, not for tho
uses of profane criticisms, but for stimu
lating their minds. A distinguished or
ator In the Senate advises young men
striving to make speakers of themselves
to study the Bible.
I know the Bible is an inspired hook
because it inspires me, but Inspiration
Is not a revelation. Man may even be
inspired; thus the artisan becomes an
artist, the dry theologian a thrilling
preacher. But while we may be inspired
to read the Bible, we are not Bible-makers.
The Bible is not a manual, In sci
ence, but a text-book of salvation. Writ
ten when the world was full of false sci
ence and philosophy, It has absorbed none
of them. There Is no conflict between the
Bible and nature; there may be between
interpretations. There is no poem from
Chaucer to Tennyson that can be named
along with Paul's paeon on charity. The
record of creation Is given in briefer
words than a modern newspaper uses to

STEER CLEAR.
Steer clear of patent cure-alls! To try
to attack a hidden disease by means of &
secret cure-all nostrum Is the same piece
of Insanity as for an Invalid to go blind
fold Into a drug store and eat medicine
from the shelves, without guidance to
what is good and without warning against
what is bad. Nor is there any abuse or
folly against which the Copeland nominal
fee system is more directly aimed. With
expert Individual treatment at $5 a month,
all medicines Included, where is the temp
tation or necessity to tamper with, secret
cure-alls?
patent Cure-alls
Their Use Invariably Dangerous an
Against Common Sense.
When any person uses a patent cure-all
as a means of self-doctoring for any par
ticular disease la grippe, catarrh, lung
trouble, for Instance he assumes the risk
of firing at random through his whole
body to take tho chances of hitting tho
diseased spot. He is
Simply Going
It Dlindf Old.
He is taking
medicine from
TaXinS Medicine
Blindfold from an
Imaginary Dtctor. j a n imaginary
. ,.' doctor who nev
er saw him nor eves heard of him. He
Is driving at his heart when the disease is
in his bowels, or driving at his lungs when
tho disease is in his liver. Whether he
commits suicide or not, he commits a
blunder and a folly, and goes against
common sense at his own risk and his own
expense.
It has been claimed that
It Is the Great Cost
of expert medical services that has en
couraged the sale of these patent cure
alls. Under the nominal assessment sys
tem in force aft the Copeland Institute,
however, invalids are fully protected
against the evil. With expert individ
ual treatment In each Individual case, at
a fee rate limited to $5 a month, all medi
cines Included, there Is no longer either
temptation or necessity to tamper with
secret nostrums.
FREE TO ALL.

tell us of a street fair. The students

go on In higher criticism, for all they are
doing is to remove dead bark from the

A Woman's Worth in China.
Leslie's Popular Monthly.
A woman's worth In China is as tho
mother of sons. Beyond that she lives
for the service of man, sometimes even
for the dead. I heard of a girl who had
become engaged and was married to a
dead man, whose parents did not think
it right that he should be a bachelor In
the spirit world. In South China there
are In some places baby markets, where
Infant girls can be bought for 50 cents or
less. Dr. Martin, president of the Dow
ager Empress' new university, say? th'at
not one woman out of 10,000 can read a
book understanding. I asked a group
of Chinese once why the women were
not taught. One replied: "We consider
women Inferior and unworthy." A second
said: "The women are considered of not
very great use." A third answered:
"The Chinese have many Immoral novels,
and keep women' Ignorant so that they
cannot read these." A fourth said:
"Woman's work is In the house; she has
no business with anything outside."
