The trunk line people thought they had settled the entire Amer ican railroad situation when the famous compact between the New York Central and Pennsylvania was entered into, by which the railroad ter ritory east of Chicago was partitioned out between these two Interests, but James J.

THE SALOONS IN MANILA STATEMENT BY MEMBERS OF MUf- ISTBRIAI. ASSOCIATION. SAYS THEY ARE DREAMS. President Ripley Take So Stock In Stories of Continental Combines. CHICAGO, 2day 7. 'Ae a stockholder in Atchison I should be glad to' have the Pennsylvania Interests buy in the prop erty, even to gaining control, but I don't believe there Is the slightest probability of this occurring." This is the way Pres ident E. P. Ripley, of the Santa Fe, an swered a question tonight regarding the alleged attempt of the Pennsylvania to secure an Interest in the Santa Fe with a view to making it a link in the new transcontinental Hen of railroads. In explanation of his statement, Mr. Rip ley said: "I should welcome Pennsyl vania Interests, as the Pennsylvania man agement is one of the best managements, if not the best in the country. Purchase by the Pennsylvania of Atchison securi ties would establish greater confidence in the property and be a good thing. I don't believe that the Pennsylvania in terests have bought a single share of Atchison stock or propose to do so. I can see no reason for the Pennsylvania desiring to buy the Atchison, nor can I see anything that is likely to develop in the immediate future that would change the situation in this respect." Asked If he did not see in the Hill deal reasons for the Pennsylvania -wishing to make new Western connections. President Ripley said that he could not see how the purchase of the Burlington system could disturb existing conditions in the Western railroads, or disturb such rela tions as have existed between the Penn sylvania and Burlington. Great trans continental railroad systems, in the sense co generally discussed these days, Mr. Ripley declared to be "purely dreams." He added: "As a railroad man I can see ao advantages to railroads nor to the public in the so-called transcontinental systems. ' 2T. Y. Central Train on Postage Stamp George H. Daniels,' general passenger agent of the New York Central, has Just sent out a neat souvenir In the shape or the new railroad postage stamp adopt ed by the Government, the first of the new J?an-American issue of postage stamps. This stamp bears the picture of the New York Central's "Empire State Express," one of the fastest trains in the world. Mr. Daniels has also looked up the post charges In effect In 1835, which he finds to have been as follows: For a single letter, composed of one piece of paper, the schedule was as follows: Cents. For any distance not exceeding 30 miles 6 Over 30 and not exceeding 80 miles 10 Over 80 and not exceeding 150 miles 12& Over 150 and not exceeding 400 miles. ...18.. Over 400 miles 25 A letter composed of two pieces of pa per was charged with double these rates; of three pieces with triple, and of four pieces with quadruple. One or more pieces mailed as a letter and weighing one ounce were charged with quadruple post age and at the same rate should the weight be greater. In 1901, the United States carries a let ter weighing an ounce or less from New York to St. Michael, Alaska, a distance of 5616 miles, or from St. Michael, Alas ka to Manila, capital of the Philippine Islands, 11,974 miles, for two cents. Kerr Institatloa Founded and Fostered by the Americans Re cent Reforms Inadequate. Tbe Ministerial Association of Manila, having reported by" Captain Miller as .fa voring canteens, have sent out the fol lowing official statement through Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, superintendent of the Reform Bureau, of Washington, D. C, to the people of the United States as to that and related subjects: "The members of the Ministerial As sociation of Manila have received many inquiries as to the truth of various state ments made in regard to Intemperance In the Philippine Islands, begging a large part of the importations by business firms from America, and represents a great part of the trade that follows the flag at the present time. "Naturally, the City of Manila, where there are and have been mere troops than at any other place, received at once a large number of that genuinely American institution, the saloon. It Is Impossible to tell what has been the greatest number of saloons at any one time. Tho number has been placed as high as 400, but we have no proof of the exactness of this statement. A correspondent who counted them In May states that there were 125 American saloons in the city at that time. Other liquor licenses were held by the houses of prostitution. At first, i. e., in 1898, there were many little shops that sold beer, but they have been driven out of business by the higher license that has been imposed. "The license department furnishes the following Information: 150 saloons January 1 to June 30, 1900; 120 saloons, July 1 to December 31. 1900. "The new liquor law which went Into effect January 1 still further increases the license to $600 gold for a flrst-class license (all .kinds of liquor) and $300 gold ttMtMMMMMKttttMMMMHMMe NEW MAYOR OF GOLDENDALE.

Fight for Control of Voting: Rights. NEW YORK, May 7. The Evening Post cays: ""From the remarkable movement of Northern Pacific shares today. In the course of which the common rose to 149 and the preferred to 213, observers In Wall street were led to believe that a fight for control of the voting rights was in prpgress. ' An Important right which the preferred shares of Northern Pacific Railway possess and heretofore not no ticed is that no additional mortgage can be placed on the Northern Pacific Railway without the consent of two-thirds of the preferred stock and the holders, If any, of the common stock represented at any meeting of shareholders called for such purpose. No meeting of Northern Pa cific shareholders has yet been called to approve the new bonds to be Issued and guaranteed jointly with the Great North ern Railway to take up the Burlington's stock. In some quarters today the sug gestion was made that the management of the Northern Pacific may be seeking to control enough of the preferred shares in particular to prevent any successful opposition to the acquisition of the Bur lington Railroad." Fort "Wayne Terminals. FORT WAYNE, Ind., May 7. The Fort Wayne Belt & Terminal Company, with a capital stock of $1,000,000, was organized here today to build a belt line of steam railroad with a terminal spur around the city. It is a part of the plan for a new Chlcago-Pittsburg line, embracing the Nickle Plate, FIndlay, Fort Wayne & Western and new lines in Ohio to con nect with the Pittsburg & Lake Erie Railroad. The Vanderbilts are credited with being back of the project. President of the "Wheeling:. NEW YORK, May 7.

Sir William Van Home, chairman of the board of direc tors of the Canadian Pacific Railway, speaking about a rumor that Morgan and Hill had completed a deal to secure con trol of the Canadian line, said: "I have no time to answer imaginations of speculators in stocks. Canadian Pai cific stock is held by 15,000 or more indi viduals and there are not 100 holders who, combined, could sell control. I do not be lieve that a dozen are to be found who would if they could. Many think, as I do, that the property Is good enough to keep. I know very little of the ups and downs of the stock market. I only know that Canadian Pacific Is worth more than many other stocks now selling at par. Its value has been overlooked In the great advance that has occurred In prices and this fact seems to have come to the jnlnd of somebody. The directors have always given more attention to the per manent welfare of the property than to the stock exchange quotations of the se curities, feeling sure that the securities would be properly appreciated by the pub lic in the end." Than BIG IX RAILROADS. Probably Owns More Stock Any Other Individual. A Boston special printed In the Wall Street Journal, has this Interesting gos sip about transportation affairs: "The announcement that Missouri Pa cific's capital is to be increased from. $70, 000,000 to 5100,000,000 does not seem to have drawn attention to an existing capital of 57O,000,O!. The Missouri Pacific's cap ital has usually been rated as under $60. 000.000; in fact, the last Financial Chron icle supplement gives it as $50,432,150 out Standing, of $70,000,000 authorized. "There is a very interesting story, which we believe "has never before been told con cerning the Increase in Missouri Pacific's capital up toward th $70,000,000 mark. "We understand that John D. Rocke feller was the large buyer of Missouri radflc stock some time back, and that he exhibited an ownership to the directors of the company which was supposed to represent control of the then outstand ing stock. Russell Sage Invited Mr. Rockefeller to go upon the board, and named other gentlemen to be associated with him as directors; In fact, Mr. Sage announced to his friends that Mr. Rocke feller bad the control and would name the board of directors. "When some people to whom Mr. Sage imparted this information inquired why Mr. Rockefeller did not take the control of Missouri Pacific as expected, it developed that George Gould was still In control of the company and In control of the stock, and that something like $9,000,000 of stock had been issued to Mr. Gould and his associates for some branch lines and con nections which they had turned into the company. "John D. Rockefeller has been the larg est owner of Southwestern securities for many years, as he has owned a control ling interest in the Atchison, and Is now the second largest holder of Missouri Pa cific stock. As the backer of Mr. Harrl man in the Union Pacific, "which now con trols the Southern and Central Pacific roads. Mr. Rockefeller outranks the Van derbilts as a railroad Investor, and Is probably today the banker and broker of larger railroad Interests than any other capitalist or banker in the world. "J. P.

PORTLAND, May 7. (To the Editor.) It Is fit that mankind should honor the memory of Its benefactors. It is fit to set aside a day, as was done here last week, to honor the pioneers who estab lished the American Government on this Coast 60 years ago. There are those in Portland, as well as all over the world, who, by the time this reaches the read ers, will be observing the decennial anni versary of the death of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. Born to a life of physical ease and worldly position, she sacrificed all in or der to bring a message of brotherhood universal to all humanity. This was her life's work; for this work she gave up all else. Brave as a lion In proclaiming the truth, In unmasking trlflers. egotists and hypocrites, she was ever moved by com passion at the sight of misery and sor row, and ever ready to help. She blazed the way that is now being followed by some, investigated by some, and sneered at by the vicious, the ignorant and su perstitious. She is opposed only by those who are trying to perpetuate the pres ent conditions, whose self interests de mind that evolution shall be checked. At one time her enemies tried to bring her into disrepute by a concocted report emanating largely from persons who had been benefited by her kindness, and who were now promised cold cash for service able evidence. This stuff is resurrected even yet by those seeking to defame her name, not knowing that every word of this miserable stuff has been cleared away to the entire satisfaction of all who took, the trouble to look Into it. This ex poser did not drive her out of India; he sought his chance when she had already left for Europe on account of her brok en health. This Is history. All know this, yet not all, for there are those self Interests which demanded her de famation, and to this day are they try ing to decry H. P. B. and her life's work. H. P. B.! Accept this slight tribute from those who hall your message with joy, who revere your name, and who shall ever consider It the highest privi lege of their lives to uphold that ban ner that you planted; yea, who would be willing to make any sacrifice to protect the legacy you left, who are ever ready to defend thy name, when slandered by the enemies who knew thee not. What vile epithets, O God, have not been hurled at her in this unchivalrous age? Though it stings our souls, we can only repeat what a great Master once said: "Forgive them, for they know not what they do." May the golden age come, when a noble, self-sacrificing woman's reputation shall never more be blackened on heresay, mercenary testimony. Mr. Editor, that there may be no pos sible misunderstanding In this matter, permit me in this wise to profess publicly that whatever part I have In high endeav or, In honor, In all good virtues, is owing to the teachings of Theosophy which were presented by H. P. Blavatsky. It was on the 8th day of May, 1891, in London, surrounded by a few students, that she breathed her last. Her work has gone steadily on, and the message of universal brotherhood is becoming bet ter .known year by year. Her greatest literary work was "The Secret Doctrine." which is being studied more and more by all students who seek a clearer In sight into the laws of nature and of man.

PIKE. GOLDENDALE, May 7. Colonel E. TV. Pike, who wo.-, recently elected Mayor of this city, came to this section In 1872. He owns a flne-.farm near here, and Is recognized as one of the most substantial and progressive citizens of this sec tion. Colonel Pike is somewhat acquainted in Oregon, having resided at Salem one year and a't Albany four years before coming to Goldendale. He emigrated to Oregon from Lewlston, Idaho, which city he served four, years as Postmaster. He has always taken great Interest In military affairs. "When the Modoc Indians went on the warpath In Oregon he organized a company of GO men, and had it armed by the Territory of Washington. Later, when the Indians in this state made trouble, this little band, under the leadership of Colonel Pike', captured some of the most noted Indian chiefs, and materially aided in "restoring peace and or der. Largely through the efforts of Colonel Pike, Company B maintained Its or ganization until 1887, when, with other companies east of the mountains, it was merged Into the Second Regiment. He was chosen Lieutenant-Colonel and the next year Colonel, which position he filled until the regiment was legislated out of service. Colonel Pike'B native state Is Maine, where he was born 57 years ago. statement of the true condition of af fairs. "If one takes a muck rake and searches for uncleanllness, and drunkenness in the highways and byways or clips from the papers all notices of crimes committed and drunkards arrested, a very black and damning picture can be painted. If, on the other" hand, one Is not looking for these things, they do not obtrude them selves often on one's sight. "So It Is difficult to make a statement that Is the whole truth and one that will convey a true Impression. A true focus for a second-class license (beer only). Thp number of licenses Isued in January, 1901, under the new law Is: 73 first-class and second-class bars, 17 restaurants with bars, eight hotel, liquor licenses to sell at any time to cuests. "The best effect of the law Is to pro hibit the saloon In the central business district. This will remove the offense from the nostrils and sight of the public who are compelled to use those streets.

The report of the committee of ministers which recently in vestigated charges that the abolition of the canteen at Fort Sheridan had resulted in much drunkenness among the soldiers, has made its report. The report embraces statements by many persons living In HIghwood and other places near the fort, and shows that the charges" of greater dis order were untrue. For the three months preceding the abolition or the canteen the percentage of arrests was 5.2; for the three following, 4.9. Dr. Snnford's Liver Invifforator. The best liver medicine.

"Possibly no one question in this dis cussion has caused so much interest as that of the drink habit among the Amer ican soldiers and civilians In the Philip pines. Exaggerated statements have been made on both sides of the question. It must be admitted that among the officers and soldiers of the Army the total ab stinence sentiment Is not strong. So also among the civilians the number who be lieve that the use of strong drink Is alto gether a vice Is very small, much smaller than In our home towns and cities. It Is natural, therefore, that there should not be a vigorous sentiment in favor of total abstinence. "The question of how much real drunk enness there Is In a Uody of men Is diffi cult to estimate. It depends on what one calls drunkenness, be It utter loss of control over one's self, or only the time when a man's breath betrays him. If one goes through a town just after pay day he will think that everybody Is drunk. Not that more than a score In a hundred are drunk, but these few will make noise and trouble enough for the hundred. At times like these one meets many drunken soldiers on the streets pf Manila and feels very keenly the dis grace that the saloon has brought to these Islands. At other times one scarcely sees a drunken man. "A canvass was made of" 15 different companies on the Island of Luzon that showed that an average of 10 per cent of the companies were total abstainers. All the rest used liquor more or less, from the men who took a glass of beer occa sionally down to the man who got drunk as often as he had money, which is once every two months after pay day. "Recently a service was held with a company which had Just been paid. There were 60 men on duty, seven had been placed In the guardhouse that day for drunkenness or insolence growing out of drinking, 20 attended services and. lis tened attentively to the sermon; one third of the -remainder were on guard. "But after alL has been -said the con clusion must Inevitably be that there is far too much of drinking and drunken ness. The whole system of saloons and drinking, with the terrible results, are a blot on our society here. The Span lards and Filipinos look on with disgusi which Is ill-concealed, and rightly won der what kind of benevolent civilization this is. "The new Army bill has abolished the sale of liquor of any kind in Army post exchanges, or canteens, as they are popu larly called. The exchange Is simply a shop kept for the convenience of soldiers at which camp necessities and luxuries are sold at a low price. The bar at tached to these exchanges has been per mitted to sell beer and light wines under the Interpretation of the Attorney-General of the law known as the Ellis law. The opinion of Army officers and non- a painting with deceiving. "In regard to the habits of the Filipi nos, the statements often published are true. In the use of alcohol they are temperate, though not abstinent. Drunkenness Is very seldom seen and Is largely confined to those In the cities who have attempted the concoctions called American drinks. "The use of the native rum, distilled from the juice of the sugar cane or the cocoanut or nlpa palm, Is almost univer sal, while beer and Spanish wines are used by the well-to-do in and near Ma nila on festive occasions, their price, however, preventing their common use by the Filipinos. "It has been said that there were 4000 drinking places In the city of Manila before the American occupation. These figures are uncertain, and the statement is quoted to show that groceries where rum was sold are entirely different in stitutions from the American saloon, so that the statement that the number of drinking places has been reduced from 4000 to 400 (not a true number) means little. "Saloone are not a substitute for the native drinking places. They are a new Institution founded and fostered and made possible by our own people. This Is a fact largely overlooked. It is a part and parcel of our home life and civiliza tion, which we have brought with us across the broad ocean. Public opinion has been horrified to find that the benl ficent civilization of which we are so proud, has some elements in it that bring a blush to the cheek. Political capital has been made out of existing conditions, the army has been blamed as Immoral, the Government denounced as In league with crime, and the whole forward move ment thundered against because there has been some drunkenness and crime on the part of the Americans In Manila. "It Is possible that the distance from home, the crowding together of men In barracks has somewhat accentuated the unpleasant features of life here; yet It Is a fact that all the evils so often spoken of are to be found in American city and town life. The proportions may be different, but the evil has not been the result of the war, and though It is our duty to do all that is possible to blot out the evil that stains our life, yet we must realize that the Philippine Islands are not the only place, where the flag floats, that Intemperance exists. . . "Of course, It Is true that the gathering together of such large numbers of men offers opportunities for trade that are not obtainable In other places. The liquor dealers have not been slow to improve the chances offered them, and very soon after the islands were captured were here with their wares and soon succeeded in getting their goods wherever the troops went, so that at the present time every garrison can obtain American beer either through the canteen bars or outside saloons. The 1 importation of beer and whisky, forms a was almost unanimous in favor of the sale "of beer In the exchange. "It Is claimed that such a bar keeps men from frequenting tne low dives thnt congregate near Army posts, and reduces, the amount of intemperance and conse quent court-martial. "Without conIde;lng the conditions that exist In woll-organlzed posts in the Hulled States, we do, however, venture to state that it is our belief that here In the Philippines the canteen has not been con ducive to temperance. The only effect of the canteen was to multiply the number of saloons where the soldiers could drink, by adding places where men wno are on guard or confined to the barracks, as many of them are, could obtain liquor. "The saloon In the barracks keeps temp tation always before the men, offers op portunities to non-drinkers, who never would 'go Into a saloon, and Is simply one more saloon added to the too numerous drinking places, better, perhaps, because under surveillance and not selling whis kies; but worse because more beer can be obtained for the same amount of money. 'The old law strictly forbade an enlist ed man acting as bartender, but In many cases the bartenders were soldiers. There j Is 'always a non-commissioned officer de tailed to manage the Exchange. The civil employe that the law requires was often a native employed ostensibly as bar tender, but really a' caretaker. The old law provides .that there shall be a read ing and recreation room, gymnasium, restaurant, etc., provided for the soldiers, and In a house separate from but near the Exchange permitted the sale of beer, all this under the direction of a com missioned and a non-commissioned ofil cer. "The practice In the Philippines as far as "our observation goes has been that In some of the barracks a room or space j is set asiae ior a reaam room, rareiy well stocked, and that In most cases nothing of the kind exists. The bar, however, was omnipresent. It almost always was In a room of the building oc cupied as a barracks. Instead of furnish ing a place for social recreation, it is often a dismal place in which the bar is the only .attraction. "The chief objection to the canteen Is that it keeps under a man's very nosef the opportunity to drink. Jf he is a man who drinks seldom it tempts him con stantly to become immoderate. The sa loon near by (there Is no reason why It should be allowed near by under military rule) can be avoided, but the saloon that is in the barrack room or In the sarrie building cannot. To the man who Is struggling against temptation and trying to overcome his appetite, the smell of liquor, the presence of the bar, at times separated only by a thin partition from his sleeping-room, constitutes an almost Insuperable obstacle to a victory. "So avaricious is the beer Interest that the natural limit on the ability to drink. i. e., the smallness of the soldier's pay. Is overcome by the check Bystem, by which between pay days he is able to ob tain credit for creation amounts. Thus the improvident man comes up to pay day with a debt that leaves "him but a small balance for legitimate expenses or for sending home. "The conclusion Is therefore forced up on us that the canteen has been simply so many more saloons opened to seek the custom of the soldier, primary Insti tutions that graduate scholars to the higher, or more truthfully speaking, lower grades, and as such do not pro mote temperance or good discipline. "The Marine Corps at Cavlte has In stituted a Post Exchange that is a great success in every way. It Is a clean place where there Is an opportunity for social Intercourse, where good things to eat and cooling drinks (non-alcoholic) can be obtained. It pays financially as well .as morally. It could be made more at tractive and there Is no reason why such an exchange should not exist In every post of any size. "The act of Congress In abolishing the sale of beer In the post .exchanges does not solve the liquor question. It only touches one phase of It. "The great evil still exists and Its remedy demands the best thought of all who wish to see true Americanism tri umphant In the Philippines." In view of above statement and that of Senator H. C. Lodge, chairman of the Senate committee on the Philippines, that the recent reforms in Manila are inadequate, though en couraging, strenuous efforts will be made to secure in the next Congress such legislation as will at least reduce the liquor traffic in all our Islands to what It was when we took pos session, including the abolition of that loafing, treating, plotting resort, the "American Sa loon."

All sorts of stores sell it, especially druggists; all aorta of people are using it. No larder is complete without a pail of WHITE COTTOLENE. No household can be called " well regulated " that denies itself this improvement in domestic 'science. The age of progress in which we live demands that we lay aside such indigestible, unpalatable sub stances as hog fat and eat foods that are wholesome and appetizing. White Cottolene is a pure vegetable product. There is no department of cookery in which it will not give better re sults than butter or lard, using one-third less. As WHITE COTTOLENE is neutral having no taste or smell it brings out all the natural flavor and goodness of food. Try it today. The N. K. Fairbank Company Chicago Sole Manufacturers.
