WANTS CONGER'S JOB
JOSH BARBETT A. CAXDmATE FOB.
0 itur ISTER. TO CHMTA.
Former Portland Man's High, Am-
bltlons Are Said to Be Indorsed
by California Congressmen.
John Barrett, ex-Minister to Slam, is
.a-tcandl&ate-for Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to the imperial
oourt of China, to succeed Edwin H. Con
ger, -who at present holds that position.
Mr. Conger, according to the prevalent
"belief, -will be nominated for Governor
by the Republicans of Iowa this Fall, and
thus a vacancy which Mr. Barrett earn
estly desires to fill, will be created.
The first public announcement of Mr.
Barrett's candidacy was contained in a
recent issue of the San Francisco Call,
which eays that Mr. Barrett has received
already the indorsement of a majority of
the members of the Xower House-of Con
gress from California. In addition to
this It is said that Congressman John A.
T. Hull, of the Seventh Iowa District,
has stamped Mr. Barrett's desire for the
place with the seal of his approval. Mr.
Hull is from Minister Conger's old dis
trict, and is chairman ofthe Philippine
committee of the House.
Mr. Barrett, according to the Call, Is
urging his acquaintance with Pacific
Coast affairs, and trade relations, as one
of the main reasons why he should be ap
pointed. He is also dwelling at consider
able length on his former experience as
Minister to Slam.
Speaking further of Mr. Barrett's can
didacy, the Callays:
"When Mr. Barrett was asked whether he had
not discussed -with the commercial bodies and
the California Congressmen the possibility of
his appointment as Minister to China, he eald
that he v. sis in no sense a candidate unless
Mr. Conger should be the nominee of the Re
publicans of Iowa for Governor and should
accept the nomination. He said that he had
talked -Kith the commercial bodies and
also with the Congressmen, but only inci
dentally. His business here was not to seek
the nomination or to secure the influence of
the people In that direction. His real business
was work In connection with his appointment
as United States delegate to the Pan-American
Congress in Mexico. His talking about
the position of Minister to China was only in
cidental. He had not met any opposition. The
commercial bodies had favored him for Min
ister. In fact, the commercial bodies were
-unanimously in fat or of his appointment on
the commercial -commission that -was proposed
some time ago. Their belief that he could
sene the interests of the Coast and of the
country at large In the Orient seemingly -had
not changed since their former action. No
Congressman that he had met in California
had said that he ,was opposed, to his selection
as Minister to China.
""Of coursejou -would accept the position if
it was offered to ou, Mr. Barrett V
"Naturally. f Any man in public life would
be complimented bj such action and would
accept the appointment if It -were offered to
him.'
WOMAN STABS A MAN.
Mrs. Mary E. Hart Tries to Kill Rob
ert A. Frame.
Armed with a dagger, Mrs. Mary E.
Hart walked Into a Sixth-street restau
rant yesterday and stabbed and attempted
to kill Robert A. Frame, a money lender.
Frame was cut In the forehead and right
iand, hut .not seriously. Mrs. Hart -was
arrested and is now in jail.
This Is the third time within several
months that Mrs. Hart has attacked
Frame. There Is a lawsuit between them
and she recovered Judgment against him
for $1800", which, she says, he got out
of the proceeds of a lodging-house he
undertook to sell for her. and kept the
money. Two weeks ago she smashed
him with her -umbrella. In the "Washing
ton building, and for this she was found
guilty In the Municipal Court, but was
alloed to go, on condition that she keep
away from Frame. This she promised
to do.
Yesterday afternoon Frame was eating
lunch in the restaurant, when Mrs. Hart
entered and made a rush at him. She
had the dagger wrapped up in a. piece of
paper, and before the people In theplace
could prevent her, she unwrapped the pam
per and stabbed. Frame twice." He re
ceived the second cut on one of his hands,
when the woman aimed a. blow at his
heart, but he seized her hands before
she could do further damage. Just then
Policeman Church rushed up and placed
her under arrest.
"Til get you yet." cried Mrs. Hart, ex
citedly, to the broker. "Oh, let me get at
joua minute! That's all I want." But
she was led off. On the road to the po
lice station she asked Church to throw
away -the dagger, so that it could not be
used In evidence against her. She was
at once taken to the Municipal Court,
and allowed to telephone to her lawyer.
They subsequently had a conversation,
and the lawyer, addressing Municipal
Judge Cameron, said that he desired to
waive examination
"Very well," said the Judge. "I allowed
Mrs. Hart to go the last time she was
arrested, but now the trouble is too se
rious. She will have to furnish $250 ball
for the grand Jury." Mrs. Hart looked
unconcerned, and said she guessed she
would have to go to Jail, as She had no
body to go on her bond.
Frame after the affray said: "I hope
the court will keep Mrs. Hart where she
cannot harm me. Her attempts to take
my life are growing monotonous."
DISPUTED WARRANTS.
Doubts Abont the County Treasurer
rnyinKr Tliem.
A. H. Maegley, the broker, who pur
chases most of the county warrants,
states that he will not cash the war
rants for certain county supplies, the is
suance of which was protested by Auditor
Pope, because the goods were not bought
under a contract, and Mr. Maegley says
he does not want any warrant where
there Is the slightest question about its
legality. It is stated that County Treas
urer T. Scott Brooke will not stamp the
warrants good unless he Is advised to
do so by District Attorney Chamberlain.
The District Attorney has already writ
ten two opinions that, according to the
terms of the Driscoll bill, all supplies
for the county must be advertised for
and obtained from the lowest bidder.
The goods referred to amount to about
5250, and were purchased by requisition
because of existing emergencies In va
rious departments. This Is the explana
tion "which has been made by the Coun
ty Commissioners and Judge Cake. Au
ditor Pope declined to audit the bills
merely in obedience to the law, but the
Judge and Commissioners thought they
ought to be paid, and ordered the Clerk
to issue the warrants. If It happens that
the County Treasurer refuses to approve
the warrants, the courts will probably
be appealed to. and the merits of the con
tract law will be tested.
LOWER THAN ESTIMATES.
Two Bier Bnildlnjr. Jobs Taken Below
Architects' Figures.
Although a great amount of carpenter
work Is being done In Portland, neither
contractors nor carpenters think they
are making any money. A leading con
tractor, speaking on the subject yes
terday, said:
"Competition between contractors Is so
keen that jobs are being taken at a posi
tive loss. The Burrell mansion job. on
the East Side, was taken for $4000 less
that the architect's! estimates; and the
building at Sixth and Sartk is to cost
$2S00 less than the architect's figures. This
is the first time in Portland's history that
the contractors have gotten down to the
architect's cstlmaets, and it shows an
overweening 'desire to get work at any
price.
- "Carpenters are very numerous, and
are willing to work as low as $2 per day
of 10 hours, while union, carpenters are
.demanding 53 per day of eight hours. As
a consequence, over half the union car
penters of the city are idle." ,
Journeyman carpenters spoken to said
there was plenty of work going on, but
there were also plenty of men to do !.
"Waes, they thought, run from $2 25 to
$2 75 per day, but considerable time was
being lost In waiting on Jobs, which are
mostly of short duration.
RAZING BY STEAM POWER."
Shacks Torn Sown by "Wire 'Cable;
Attached to an Engine.
The four old shacks at the southeast
corner of Sixth and Stark streets were
torn down yesterday by the aid of a
steam engine. This is a plan which has
not been tried here before, and the
novelty of the scheme attracted a large
crowd. The steam engine was anchored on
the .corner and a wire cable run through
the door of a building and made fast in
the rear. -'When the engine was-started
HOX. JOHX BARRDTT, WHO, WOULD
the cable broke down partition and posts,
and there was a great snapping and
cracking of lumber and the roofs sagged
down, but would not come iown in a
general wreck. It took a great deal of
pulling and hauling to level the buildings,
and they now He In such a mixed up
mess that It will be a great job to get
them pulled to pieces in shape to be

The crowd watched the proceedings
with much interest, and "freely expressed

down. The day for Chinese washhouses
with elevated platforms for drying clothes
existing in the business part of the city
is past.
VACCINATION ONCE MORE.
This Time Objection Is Made on Re
ligions Grounds.
The subject of vaccination was the cause
of considerable debate at the meeting of
the Board of Education last evening, a
Mr. Billings and wife having written to
have their little girl excused from vacci
nation on the ground of religious scruples
of the parents. Exemptions have hereto
fore been allowed only on physician's
certificate, declaring the child' health
too poor to stand the ordeal r but even
this has been opposed by some directors
as breaking the rules and "letting the
bars down." Mr. Wittenberg moved that
the request be refused, but It was finally
decided to table the matter until the next
meeting, when Director Thompson would
be on hand and a full board present. The
sentiment appeared to be against excus
ing the child on religious' grounds.
Two propositions were made by abstract
companies for furnishing a list of delin
quent school taxes since 1SS8. One com
pany offered to do the workfor $250, and
one-third of the amount collected, the
company serving the necessary notices on
the delinquents. The second proposition
was a flat rate of $610 for .furnishing the
lists. The board directed the clerk to
offer the sum of $150 to O. M. Smith for
a complete set of abstracts. Chairman
Beach thought the total amount of de
Hquent school taxes In the district would
foot up to $20,000.
The board decided to have the High
School graduation exercises held In Cor
dray's Theater this year, If suitable ar
rangements can be made. The class this
June will number 78, about 12 more than
can be accommodated on the platform of
the High School. A small admission will
be charged to all excepting the- graduates
and their parents and the teachers. Each
graduate will be entitled totwo compli
mentary tickets. The 25th of June is the
day set for the exercises.
The pastor of the Danish Lutheran
Church, a new organization In Portland,
asked for the use of a room In the Chap
man School, to hold services In Sundays
during the Summer vacation. His re
quest was tabled until next meeting.

MILAGE FOR -SHERIFF
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OPINION OF
THE -NEW IiAW.'
Ih Criminal Cases He Mast 'Have
"Warrant if the Connty Is to
Pay Mileage.
The Sheriff cannot collect traveling ex
penses or mileage' In. a criminal case "un
less he is acting under a warrant- J3uch
an opinion has been submitted to the
t Board of County Commissioners by the
District Attorney. In the von Gruenigan
case the Sheriff sent two deputies out
with a horse and buggy a distance of
seven or elghtxmlles -to make the arrest,
bearing that a murder had been commit
ted. Mr. Chamberlain holds that al
though the Sheriff did what was right,
his act was a voluntary one, and that
he has no claim against the' county.
The opinion was furnished at the fe
quest of Auditor Pope,ewho held up the
expense accounts of the Sheriff for two
months while waiting to ascertain if any
LIKE TO. BE MINISTER TO CHINA.
expenses should be paid in criminal cases.
Teputy Sheriff Meyer appeared belore
the County Commissioners, yesterday
morning in regard to thc"rnatter, and said
the expense acqqunt of the office was
short of money, and he wanted toa&ccr
tain what was going to be done about It.
It was finally agreed that the claims for
March and April will be passed upon Wed
nesday. The difficulty arose as to the consliuc
lon to be" -placed under tha new law. Bv
the old law the Sheriff was allowed all
mileage collected In civil cases, but noth
ing In criminal cases. Enough, however.
should be allowed" In criminal cases,
one subdivision declares that no mileage
shall be paid in criminal cases, and the
following subdivision provides that the
sneriff shall be paidfor all actual ex
penses. '
The District Attorney In his opinion
savs:
"The question to be determined, is,
whether, under these provisions,' the claim
of the Sheriff for necessary traveling ex
penses in serving process In rlmlnrfl
cases should be audited and allowed.
There Is some' question In my mind as tn
the proper construction to be placed upon
the act. but I dQ- not believe It was the
legislative Intent to -compel the Sheriff to
perform the services necessarily required
of him in criminal cases and pay the ex
pense thereof but.ot.his own salary. The
section of theistatitfe referred to provides
a schedule of fees to .be charged In civil
cases, as well as maKing provision in
addition thereto for necessary 'traveling
expenses In serving any and all process.
"Placing this construction upon the act,
I am of the oplnion-that the Sheriff would
be entitled to charge for actual expenses
incurred by him in serving any. and all
process or other papers In a criminal
case."
"TWO MASTERS OF MEN."
Sermon' by Seattle Minister at the
Unitarian Eorwnrd'MoTcmcnt.
At the Unitarian Church last evening
the Rev. W. D.. SImonds, of Seattle,
spoke on the topic, "Two .Masters of
Men: Julius-Caesar -and Jesus " He con
trasted their characters, saying that
Caesar stood for the system of "might
makes right," while Jesus stood for the
idea that "right makes might." He said
that sometimes men believed In -Jesus,
built temples in his name arid sang -songs
in his praise, but when It, came to a
question of war, were not as good Chris
tians as Ingersoll, who opposed war and
Christianity. When the Boer War broke
out, Canon Farrar urged that war could
be waged In worthy causes and that It
was one of the methods of the Almighty
to promote progress and civilization. Her
bert Spencer, an agnostic, held that war
was bad, injurious and barbarous.
"Which," asked Mr. SImonds, "is the
real Christian?"
This' evening in connection with the
forward movement of the church, the
Rev. G. W. Stone, field secretary of the
American Unitarian Association, the Rev.
"W. D. SImonds, of Seattle, and the Rev.
W. G. Eliot, of Salem, will speak on va
rious topics connected with the Unitarian
faith.
RETURNING TO CHINA.
Six Chinese Children Born in Port
land "Will Cross the Pacific.
Ding Wing, a well-known Chinese mer
chant, who has been a resident'Of Port
land long enough to have a. family of
four boys and two girls, Is about to
send his wife and children back to his
old home, near Canton, to be educated.
His ojdest son, Ding John, is 17, and
his youngest 4 Tears of age. Yesterday
Ding Wing had his whole" family up'be
for the United States, Commissioner,
endeavoring to have testimony as to their
being native-born citizens perpetuated, In
order that they may exercise their right I
to return to this country at any time in
the future, .if they desire to do , so. He
does not know how long they may stay
In China. They have alHenjoyed to some
extent" the advantages of the public
schools or kindergartens here, and, with
this start and a knowledge of English in
his favor. It Is not improbable that after
7 -
a course in a Chinese university, THag
John may- secure political preferment,
perhaps become a second U Hung Chang.
A number of witnesses testified as to
the nativity of the children, and a large
photograph of the family group-Is to be
pasted In with the report of this testi
mony, -but1 in the end their getting back
Into, this country will be all a matter of
identification. Six, eight or 10 years'
residence In the hot climate of Canton
will probably change the appearance of
the children so that even their father
might hardly recognize them. As they"
must go to China they will have to take
their' chances on getting back.
COMPENSATION IS FIXED.
Hea.Who Will Compile DeliaaHeiit
Tax List.
The compensation of Cord Stengstake
and N. C. Ovlatt, who are to have charge
of the preparation of lists to be used in
the- sale of property heretofore bid in for
taxes by the "county, was fixed by the
County Commissioners yesterday at. $6
per day; They offered to do the work
under a contract, but the board did not
think .it advisable. Messrs. 'Ovlatt and
Sengstake are employed at the Court
house In the day.tlme, and will work on
these lists, at night, until 12 o'clock. This
will not in any manner interfere -with
their other duties. The Commissioners
explain ihat while the compensation al
lowed may seem high, considering the
fact that both 'men are very competent
and experienced in the line of work to be
done, it is not so. They are tojiavesuch
assistance as is necessary. The tax rolls
for-the- years 18S to 1895 are to be brought
up to date, so as to show at a glance
the amount. of taxes against any piece. of
property. These years comprise the years
which, the county, has bid In the' prop
erty for back taxes and acquired title.
which the new law, provides must De,soia
to the highest bidder.
Commissioner Mack said, referring to
the arrangement made: "They did not
want the work very badly at the rate we"
ncrrppf! fr nav. If wp Dlcked up outsiders
'to superintend a job of this kind, it might
result ln.the whole thing being vameies.
There is a great deal of work to be done,
but I think it Is better to make our own
abstract than to pay $25,000 for a. set of
block books. It will probably take until
August-1 tp finish all of the work, but the
sale in July will not be prevented.-
W. DFenton is reported to have in
formed Judge Cake that accompanying
the salevof property bid In for these taxes
there should be an order by the County
Court canceling all delinquent taxes for
the' years prior to 1888, such being the
effect of the new law. ,
Judge Cake states that if a the July
sale a piece of property does not sell for
all of the taxes due against It, the county
will bid I in Numerous attorneys state
that the County under the law cannot' bid
the propertv In. and must accept the
highest bid offered for a piece of prpperty,
whether It be $1 or 100. or all of the taxes
due pr a tenth of the amount.

Army Paymaster Assisted nt Muster

"Chief Paymaster J. B. Houston,-of the
United States Army In the Department
of the Columbia, and his assistant. J.
Brixen. returned yesterday morning from
extra duty in Sari Francisco, where they
have been helping payoff the volunteers
arriving from Manila. While' In San
Francisco they paid off part of the
Twenty-eighth and Twentj-ninth Regi
ments. This business of, paying offthe
soldiers has assumed surprisingly large di
mensions. The amounts that are paid off
to the regiments run up into the Hun
dreds of thousands, since the men have in
addition to their pay. made deposits with
the UnltedStates Paymasters drawing
Interest" at 4 per cent. Mr. -Brixen esti
mates that on art average from $200,000 to
$250,000 is paid to, a regiment. Besides
these amounts to the soldiers, money was
paid out In other business, on -contracts
and for supplies, amounting to hundreds
of thousands of dollars. All this-Immense
distribution of Uncle Sam's shekels -took
place in the small space of three weeks,
and the money went into Immediate cir
culation. Last Friday was not an un
usually busy day atthe Paymaster's of
fice, 'Mr. Brixen sald but there was paid
over the counter $105,000.
These, figures Indicate the 'gold mine
that the mustering-out business has been
to San Francisco. Every regiment that
goes to San Francisco means the purchase
of almost 10C0 trunks to the merchants,
at prices ranging from $2 to $10, and the
same way all along the line. Ten regi
ments will muster out in San Francjsco
next month, and if the army in the Philip
pines is "reduced from 60,000 to 40,000, It
will mean 20,000 'more men landed In that

consolation that the Thirty-fifth regiment
