THE MORNING OREGON1AN T-UESDAJ, AUGUST 13, 1901.
ON CHINA'S FREE LIST
THERE WILL BE KO TARIFF ON
FLOUR OR CEREALS.
Draft of the Protocol Signed by the
Commlgaloncrs at Pekin Import
ant to the Pacific Coast.
"WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. The State De
partment has received a cablegram from
Mr. Rockhlll at Pekin reporting that the
draft ot the final protocol has been agreed
upon. A tariff of 5 per cent ad valorem
will be put In force two months after
the signing of the final protocol, except
ing on goods shipped within 10 days after
signing, and will continue until the con
version to specific rates, has been effected
by the expert commission. The Chinese
free list will Include rice, foreign cereals
and flour, gold and silver bullion and
coin. This inclusion of flour in the free
list Is of much importance, particularly'
to Pacific Coast shippers.
Mr. RockhiU's advices that cereals and
flour have been included In the free list
of the new Chinese tariff Is regarded as
an important provision, owing to the
growth of American exports of wheat and
flour to China. In 1899 these amounted to
$2,295,033, which was almost double the
shipments of the preceding year. The
trade has continued to increase .and the
Pacific Coast interests have looked for
ward to supplying China with a consider
able part of her consumption of wheat and
flour, most of which hnrotofore has gone
from Atlantic ports around the Horn. Re
cently the commercial organizations on tne
Pacific Coast forwarded representations to
"Washington, showing that a 5 per cent
effective tariff on Hour would work con
siderable injury to this trade. It appears
now from Mr. RockhiU's dispatch that the
5 per cent tariff on this article has been
wiped out, and hereafter It will go to
China free of duty.
The American shipments of rice and the
other articles mentioned are not very
large, and the Inclusion of rice on the
free list is chiefly due to China's needs of
this staple food. Owing to the frequency
of drouth and famine in China the local
production of rice often has been cur
tailed, and it has been necessary to meet
tremendous demands by allowing rice to
come In free of duty from Slam and other
rice-producing countries.
CAPTAI.V HALL COM31EXDED.
For His Heroic Services During
the Siege of Pekin.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. The Acting
Se-retary of the Navy. Mr. Hackett, to
clay sent to Captain J. N. Hall, who com
manded the Legation guard at Pekin dur
ing a part of the crisis there, a letter of
commendation for the heroic services of
those under his command during the try
ing circumstances. The department had
previously sent a letter of commendation
to Captain Myers, who was the senior of
ficer In command, but who gave way to
Captain Hall on being wounded. A sim
ilar letter would have been sent to Cap
tain Hall, but at that time he was under
charges made by officials of the America
Legation relative to his course during the
siege. A court of inquiry, however, fully
exonerated Captain Hall. The letter of
commendation Is as follows:
"The department desires to commend
In the highest term9 the Legation guard
under your command from July 21 to
August 17, 1900. During this period each
member of the guard b'ehaved in the most
creditable manner, under very trying cir
cumstances. Especially are to be men
tioned and commended. Sergeant Edward
A. Walker, M. C; Corporals Martin Hunt
and John O. Dahlgren, M. a; Seamen
Emil SJogreen and Alexander Westermark
for their conspicuous conduct in defense
of the Legation."
WHAT VOX WALDERSEE DID.
The Field Marshal Talks on His
Work in China.
BERLIN, Aug. 12. Count von Wal
dersee, at the reception given him at
Hanover, spoke as follows:
"If I succeeded In some measure In
China, It must be attributed solely to
the circumstances that I had Emperor
William behind me and was able to act
in accordance with his intentions. What
has been done in China for Germany will
I hope, come to light soon."
He went on to praise the conduct of
the troops, adding:
"The young men of the mounted artil
lery achieved results heretofore not heard
of. Our friends certainly learned to
respect us more than ever; but our ene
mies now know us fully. We have taught
the latter to respect us thoroughly. They
know that a collision with Germany
is a bad Job, and that the Kaiser Is
backed by great power. We owe it to the
Kaiser alone that we have opened great
highways for German trade and Indus
try. I am convinced that the German
rame will soon have quite a different
sound there. Other names pall. The
German name was borne aloft."
Senator Beveridge In Pekin.
PEKIN, Aug. 12. United States Sen
ator Bcvcrldge has arrived In Pekin for
a two days' visit, after traveling ex
tensively in Manchuria, with the Rus
sian Commander-in-Chief.
CLAIMS OF AMERICANS.-
Considered by the South African
Compensation Commission.
LONDON, Aug. 12. At today's session
of the South African Compensation Com
mission, Newton Crane, counsel of the
American claimants, submitted the Amer
ican claims.
Dr. A. F. Conroy, a member of the
Red Cross Society., asks for 7000 for
losses of surgical instrument, horses and
wagons. A. J. Glevener, formerly of Gal
veston. Tex., now stranded In Saxony,
went to South Africa In the capacity of
assayer and was deported from East Lon
don. He asserts he is ruined In health
and fortune, and wants 10,000. He makes
his claim In a letter to President Mc
Kinley, with whom, he says, ' he fought
in the Shenandoah Valley during the
Civil War. S. J. Ahrtug, of Brooklyn,
who was expelled from Bloemfontein, re
quires SG0 for the loss of his grocery
and goods. Anne Wedkild, of Brooklyn,
claims 134 for deportation and loss ot
employment In tho capacity of cook. Nine
miners claim varying sums for deporta
tion. They were accused of complicity in
tho plot against Lord Roberts. Mr. Crane
said the claims were made in behalf of
fhe United States Government.
The chairman, Mr. Mllvaln, said he
thought no allowance could be made ex
cept for legal claims. Something, possi
bly, might be given to others, as an act
of grace, but the Foreign Office has laid
down the principle that the military au
thorities had power to expel any one hos
tile or inconvenient?.
Mr. Crane objected to this view and
pressed the commission for a clearer ex
position of its powers. The chairman
somewhat testily told Mr. Crane he must
not interrogate the commissioners. Mr.
Crane divided the claimants into three
classes those deported for causes other
than the plot against Lord Roberts, those
wrongfully deported, and those accused
of complicity in the plot He objected to
the term "act of grace," used by Chair
man Mllvaln, saying It was an act of
diplomacy for the preservation of the
comity of nations. If, in diplomacy, an
Ambassador was told his government's
representations were only considered as
an "act of grace," it might be dangerous.
Less than that had produced war.
Sir John Ardagh, the representative of
the Foreign Office, contended that Dr.
Conroy's expedition was composed of men
who threw away their Ted cross badges
and joined the fighting Boers. Sir John
read a letter from Lord Kitchener assert
ing that the acts of the main claimants
Justified their arrest, the accusation of
complicity in the plot against Lord Rob
erts, and their deportation as undesirable
persons. The American claims will be
further considered tomorrow.
OPERATIONS IX SOUTH AFRICA.
Kitchener Reports Many Boers
Killed, Captured and Surrendered.
LONDON, Aug. 13. In a long dispatch
issued tonight reporting the operation of
various columns, Lord Kitchener said:
"I am glad to be able to send the largest
return I have yet had for one week.
Since August 5 the columns report 39
Boers killed, 20 wounded, including Com
mandant Moll dangerously, 639 prisoners,
including Wolmarens, late chairman of
the First Volksraad; 35 surrenders, in
cluding Commandant Devlllers, and the
capture of 24,400 rounds of ammunition,
754 wagons, 55S0 horses and large quan
tities of stock. Most of the captures
were made In Orange River Colony."
In the course of a description of the
operations, Lord Kitchener says that
General French, In Cape Colony, is
"gradually driving the enemy's scattered
bands northward."
Wcsscls Was Not Shot.
LONDON. Aug. 12. Lord Kitchener has
cabled a confirmation of the report of
the release of the Peace Envoy Andries

Dntch Under Arms.
BRUSSELS, Aug. 12. Mr. Krugcr's

munition, although provisions are very
scarce.
WEAVERS WAGES CUT.
Fourteen Per Cent Redaction Made
by Fall River Factories.
FALL RIVER. Mass., Aug. 12. The
Fall River cotton manufacturers this
evening, at a meeting held for the pur
pose of discussing the work of reduc
tion, unanimously voted to reduce wages
to a basis of 17 cents for weaving, the
reduction to go into effect September 3.
This is about a 14 per cent cut, the pres
ent price of weaving being 19.8 cents.
The vote was unanimous with one ex
ception, this man voting against the
reduction only on the question as to the
amount. An agreement will be drawn
up for slganture, and will be passed by
the executive committee of the associ
ation. It requires a representation of
100,000 spindles to make an agreement to
reduce wages of the operatives. At the
voting this evening there were represen
tatives of nearly 1,250,000 spindles.
Representatives of the various labor or
ganizations in Fall River met directly
after the announcement of the action of
the manufacturers, and a meeting of
the textile council was called for next
Thursday night. At that meeting a plan
of action, and perhaps of resistance, will
be formulated.
BOYCOTTERS ARRESTED.
Socialist Labor Orators Held for
Trial by a Xevr York Judge.
NEW YORK. Aug. 12. Henry Jaeger
and Henry Courtlander, Socialist Labor
party orators, have been held for trial
by Magistrate Cornell on a charge of dis
orderly conduct The arrest of the men
grows out of the strike of the egg con
dlers, which has been on for 6ome time.
A few days ago Justice O'Gorman issued
an injunction which prohibits tho mem
bers of the Egg Candlers' Alliance from
holding meetings in front of an Irvlngton
street butter and egg dealer's store, the
dealer having been, bothered by such
meetings, which were held there because
he employed nonunion men. Thinking to
get around the injunction, it was said In
court, certain leaders of the Socialistic
Labor party got Jaeger and Cortlander to
address the crowd, believing that as they
were not In the trade they would not be
affected by the injunction. Their
speeches, however, were couched in bit
ter terms against the dealer, the speakers
advising their hearers to boycott the
store,"and he caused their arrest. Magis
trate Cornell expressed himself as hav
ing no sympathy with boycott methods
and held the men. They claimed they
were only exercising the American right
of free speech.

LAST NIGHT.
Interment of the Remains of the
Dowager Empress Frederick
"Will Occur Today.
CRONBERG, Aug. 12, By special com
mand of "Emperor William the residents of
Cronberg were admitted to the church
prior to the removal of the body of the
Dowager Empress Frederick. They moved
in a long procession -past the chancel to
pay a last tribute to one who was identi
fied with so many good causes. Almost all
had reason to remember personally her
charities and kindness, and many wept.
Many others uttered expressions of deep
regret. Flowers continue to arrive in
profusion, which include wreaths from
the British-American Home for Govern
esses in Berlin.
The body of the Dowager Empress was
jemoved by torchlight tonight from the
church to the railway station with a cere
mony similar tc that of Saturday. The
coffin was borne Irom the church by 12
non-commissioned officers, the organ
meanwhile playing. Following the coffin
were the Crown Prince and Princess of
Greece, Prince and Princess Charles of
Hesse, and a number of court officials. A
crowd of townspeople closed the proces
sion. The cortege was accompanied on
either side by torchbearers, and troops
lined the whole route.
The coffin was deposited on a car spe
cially prepared and draped for Its recep
tion. This done, the drums rendered a
muffled roll, the troops presented arms,
and the funeral started for Potsdam at

Bowasrer Erapreiii'JJcqnMti.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. According to the
Tribune's London representative, there
seems to be good reason to believe that as
a consequence of the death of the Dowa
ger Empress Frederick tho Victoria
and Albert Museum in South -Kensington
will be enriched by a considerable collec
tion of her Imperial Majesty's sketches
and drawings. A similar bequest It Is
understood has also been made to one of
the leading galleries In Germany. It Is
interesting to note that the death of the
Dowager Empress has formed the theme
for sermons in St. Paul's Cathedral, West
minster Abbey and many other churches
throughout London.
PROTECTION IX RUSSIA.
Use of Foreign Made Goods on Pub
lic Works Prohibited.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 29. New illus
trations of the determination of the gov
ernment to prevent the use of foreign
made goods in any public works come
to light almost dally. The newspapers
this week print circulars from the Min
ister of Railways and the Minister of
Education, directing attention to orders
from the Finance Ministry against the
use of foreign railway materials and edu
cational supplies. When the required ar
ticles cannot be had in Russia, the nlgher
authorities must be consulted before an
order can be given to a foreign manufaCi.
turer or importer.
Another Instance Is furnished by the de
cision to complete the naphtha pipe line
from Baku to Batoum. It ends now in
the mountains. When the first section
was built It was deelred to use Russian
material, but It was found that
no Russian concern could turn out the
article needed. The order was thereupon,
by special ukase of the Emperor, given
to an American house. The price was cut
down pretty low, on the ground, it Is
said, that the same company would nat
urally get the order tor the second sec
tion, and that having models and draw
ings all ready, the expense to It ot mak
ing the additional pumps would be con
siderably lessened. The American com
pany Is not accustomed to depend on
promises, and took the precaution to build
pumps of unique design for this pipe line
and to patent its plana and protect its
models. It Is now about to reap the re
ward of Its foresight. The order has gone
forth that none but Russian materials are
to be used. Invitations to bid for pumps
were sent to none but Russian houses.
However, as the pumps must match those
now used, the successful bidder has had
to come to the Americans and make
terms for the use of their plans and
drawings.
UPSET MOXROE DOCTRIXE.
Germany and France Trying; to Buy
Wes Indian Islands.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Paris
says:
Germany certainly, and probably
France also, are striving to upset the Mon
roe doctrine by trying to purchase Cayo
Romano and Cayo Cruz, two of the Isl
ands of the Greater Antilles, Just off the
northern coast of Cuba. Both Islands are
very fruitful. They are the property of
Prudenclo Ebans y Gaya, a rich Spaniard
living here. Neither country seeks to buy
the Islands directly. Germany seeks to
gain control through a German syndicate,
the chief of which Is Baron Adolf Oppen
helro, of Paris. Cayo Romano Is the third
largest Spanish island of the Greater An
tilles, and both Islands being the nearest
to the United States coast, would give
foreigners power through a commanding
position. The French Jesuits, who are
compelled to leave France, are bidding for
the islands. Tho French Government pre
fers that the Jesuits get them rather than
the German syndicate because, notwith
standing the practical expulsion of the
former Frenchmen, their Interests In the
islands could be arranged In exchange for
other cessions. Ambassador Porter; though
not In Paris, has cabled the Stato De
partment concerning the purchase. It Is
understood that he believes France is
satisfied with Martinique, but that Ger
many is working tooth and nail to get con
trol of the Islands.
i
TOO MAXY IRISH MEMBERS.
Representation in Parliament May
Be Reduced.
LONDON, Aug. 12. In the course of
their speeches Saturday at the Unionist
demonstration at Blenheim Palace, Mr.
Balfour and Mr. Chamberlain alluded to
the necessity confronting Parliament of
taking some measures" to abate National
1st obstruction In the House of Commons,
and referred Blgnlflcantly to the over
representation of Ireland in Parliament.
These hints have been favorably seized
on by Unionists and the Unionist press,
which is publishing letters and articles ex
plaining how, if Ireland were only repre
sented In proportion to the United Klrig
dom, she would send to the House of
Commons about 30 fewer members than
at present., hTe Idea is gaining ground
that the government meditates making
this tho principal business of the next ses
sion, and that Ireland will be offered a
sort of compensation by the concession of
a more extended system of local self-government.
A section of the Ministerialists
I has long urged this reform upon the gov
ernment, but until recently the Ministers
seemed reluctant to enter upon the dif
ficult task of redistributing Parliamentary
representation, which might precipitate
another dissolution. '
A GOVERXMEXT DEFEAT.
Factory Bill Supported by the House
, of Commons.
LONDON, Aug. 12, Tho government
was defeated In the House of Commons to
night in the course of the debate on the
factory bill. The house supported by 163 to
141 a proposal opposed by the government
that textile factories should close at
noon instead of 1 o'clock P. M., as nqw.
The opposition and the Irish members
cheered wildly. Mr. Ritchie, the Home
Secretary, announced that the govern
ment would accept the verdict. Timothy
Healy, amid laughter; remarked that the
homo secretary had shown great resigna
tion, but not the sort of resignation the
house wanted.
The house passed to a second reading
the Pacific cable bill, by a vote of 1S3 to
59. In the course of the debate. James
C. Flynn, Nationalist, who opposed the
bill, made a personal 'attack qn the Colon
ial Secretary and upon Lord Strathcona
and Mount Royal. J. Austin Chamber
lain, who followed, declined to notice the
attack upon his father, but said he
thought It a cruel thing to cast reflections
Upon Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal
because the latter had been selected by
Canada to sit on the cable board.
British Soldiers Unpaid.
NEW YORK. Aug. 12. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
Many Imperial yeomen who have re
turned from South Africa are still com
plaining that they Have not yet' received
their arrears of pay. It appears that 'in
the case of more than one yeomanry bat
talion no account was kept of advances
made to the rank and flle In South Africa,
The War Office authorities consequently
cannot tell what amounts are now due to
some of the men, and they have decided
not to settle any claims until proper ac
counts have been rendered. The affair is
becoming a scandal, and Is certainly not
simplifying the work of the recruiting
sergeants. In some Instances the men
have been obliged to pawn the medals
which they so recently received at the
hands of the King.
Will Ask for Clemency.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. Commenting
upon tho disposition of the case of Earl
Russell, recently sentenced for bigamy,
the Tribune's London correspondent says:
A final effort is to be made by Earl Rus
sell's friends to induce the Home Secre
tary before he leaves town to advise the
King to extend his clemency toward the
noble prisoner now In Holloway jail. Their
argument Is that the Lord High Stew
ard admitted in passing sentence that tho
records of the courts and the House of
Lords showed that the defendant had
had much provocation, and It is further
contended that had the trial taken place
at the Old Bailey & month's imprisonment
would probably have been the outside
limit of his punishment.
Prizes for Scientists.
COPENHAGEN, Aug. 12. Two of the

vide prizes for the advancement of science,

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 12. As a re
sult of tho Arm attitude adopted by the
French Ambassador, M. Constans, in an
audience with the Sultan, Friday, the sit
uation in relation to the French claims
Is clearing, and It Is practically settled
that the quay company shall enjoy the
rights under concession, as demanded by
France.
Murder In a Church.
LONDON, Aug. 13. "A murder resulting
from a vendetta of 20 years' duration,"

with the result that seven persons were
klllea" and 23 wounded."

THE CUBAN PRESIDENCY.
General Gomez Suggests the Xames
of Palma and Masso.
HAVANA, Aug. 12. General Maximo
Gomez has addrossed a letter to tho local
committee of the National party, in Ha
vana, declining to be a candidate for the
presidency of Cuba, and suggesting the
names of Senor Estrada Palma and Senor
Masso as tho best selections that couid
be made for the presidency and vlce
presldency. "Let all Cubans agree upon this Im
portant matter." says Geenral Gomez In
his communication, "and Cuba will have
a strong and stable government, entirely
fitted to deal with the external relations
In which Cuba will have to exist as a
republic."
A movement backed by a number of
revolutionary Generals were started some
time ago to endeavor to make Senor
Palma the unanimous cholco of tho people
for president, and overtures wore simul
taneously made to Senor Masso with a
view of persuading him to accept tho
vlce-preBldency. It is asserted, however,
that thus far Masso has declined to fall
in with the plan, as he relies upon the
negro vote to elect him president.

Call on the Members of Organized
Labor Throughout the Country.
PITTSBURG, Aug. 12.-Secretary Will
lams, of the Amalgamated Association,
today gave out copies of a call to organ
ized labor of tho United States. It fol
lows: "To the Members of Organized Labor
Brethren: As you are undoubtedly aware
tho United States Steel Corporation is,
now waging a war against organized la
bor by making the Amalgamated Asso
ciation the subject on which to begin op
erations. At our last convention It wag
unanimously decided to ask tho United
States Steel Corporation, when settling
their annual scale with the Amalgamated
Association, that they sign or recognize
the scale of the Amalgamated Association
in all their mills. When the matter was
broached the request was peremptorily
refused. After the holding of several con.
feronces, the demand of our organization
was modified so as to take in only tho
mills of three of their constituent compa
nies, viz.: The American Sheet Steel
Company, the American Tlnplate Com
pany and the American Steel Hoop Com
pany, wheretlocal lodges had been forhied
and where the men were very desirous
of being union men. and we are now out
on strike for recognition.
"In the conferences which were held
Er the representatives of the United
States Steel. Corporation and the Amalga
mated Association, the representatives of
the United States Steel Corporation's
only arguments were that they did not
desire the Amalgamated Association to
become too powerful, and that they should
hold tho balance of power. Later confer
ences were held with the heads of the
United States Steel Company, who
submitted a proposition that wo sign only
for the mills that signed last year with
the exception of the sheet mills In Salts
burg and Scottdale, which were signed for
tho year previously. Their proposition
was rejected, as It meant that the Amal
gamated Association would merely have
to remain in a quiescent state while they
were expanding and adding to their non
union possessions.
"They are waging a flght for the exter
mination of the Amalgamated Associa
tion and the right of workingmen to com
bine, a principle which they have dem
onstrated to the people of the United
States they desire themselves, and so
persistently refuse to grant us. This blow
Is not alone directed at the Amalgamated
Association, but at organized labor In
general, and should they succeed in de
feating the Amalgamated Association it
will affect every organized body in the
United States.
"To succeed in this struggle it will be
necessary to seek the aid of every or
ganized body, as well as the general
public, whoso sympathies we know are
with us In the present struggle. To this
end we ask that you give us your more
than financial aid. A liberal response
financially will materially assist us in
conducting a victorious campaign for a
principle, which Is the Inalienable right
of every free man.
"If you desire to aid the Amalgamated
Association In the present struggle finan
cially, all the money should be forwarded
to John Williams, secretary-treasurer,
Blssell block, Pittsburg. Pa. Fraternally
yours, T. J. SHAFFER, President.
"JOHN WILLIAMS, Sec.-Treas.
"M. F. TIGHE, Asst, Treas.
"B. I. DAVIS, Journal Mngr."
The Amalgamated Association also Is
sued an appeal to its local lodges, urging
the members who are employed to give
liberally to the cause. Continuing, the
call says:
"Much financial assistance could be ob
tained if we would in our large cities
start a popular subscription through, the
medium of the local newspapers. Public
sympathy Is with us and will support us,
if given an opportunity. Tho above plan
would be an excellent one if placed In
operation. Do what you can in this di
rection, as It' will enable all fair-minded
people to demonstrate their nractlcal sym
pathy. If there Is any otner plan you
think of that would assure the same pur
pose, then place -It In operation, as It Is
absolutely necessary that we have practi
cal results along this line."
SITUATIOX AT CLEVELAXD.
Preparations to Open the Tlnplate
Mill With Xon-Union Men.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 12. There was no
material change in the Amalgamated
strike situation in this city today. At tho
Crescent plant of the American Tlnplate
Company, a largo force of carpenters was
at work on the building erected Inside
the hlsh fence which surrounds the mill
to be used as a boarding-house for non
union men. The management announced
today that the mill would be started pos
sibly by tomorrow or Wednesday. The
Amalgamated people aro watching devel
opments at this plant very closely, and It
will no doubt prove to be the storm center
of the struggle In Cleveland. A party of
12 or 15 colored men arrived hero today
from some point In the South.- It Is said
these men will work the tlnplate mill.
Vice-President Ward, of the Amalga
mated Association, reiterated the state
ment today that unless the striko is soon
settled an effort will be made to bring
out the men employed In the mills of the
American Steel & Wire Company, of this
city, which have not yet been affected
by tho strike. These mills employ about
6000 men.
A special from Lorain, O., says:
"Not a man quit work In the big plant
of the steel trust here today as a result
of President Shaffer's strike order. Agents
of the Amalgamated Association are here,
but apparently they have thus far made
little headway In securing members for
their organization."
First Violence in Mahoning Valley.
WARREN, O., Aug. 12. The first vio
lence during the present steel workers'
strike In the Mahoning Valley occurred
at Niles this afternoon, when an angry
crowd of tin mill men surrounded tho Erie
train from' Lisbon. But for the prompt
action of the police five men would have
been mobbed. Excitement runs high at
Nlles, and If an attempt Is made to op
erate the tin mill there, serious trouble
will result.

MISS BLANCHE MYERS.
-.'
Miss Blanche Myers, 3120 Penn street,
Kansas City, Mo., has the following to
say of Peruna:
"During each of the past fouV seasons
I have caught a severe cold, when sud
denly chilled after an evening party, and
catarrh for several weeks would be the
result. One bottla of Peruna cured me.
and I shall not dread colds any more as
I did." BLANCHE MYERS.
Miss Anna Cramer, 1950 Second avenue,
New York City, writes:
"I can bear witness to the fact that
Peruna Is the best remedy for catarrh. I
which are the only ones that would be af
fected by the strike order of President
Shaffer, everything was In full operation
today. The employes, while they say they
will not come out on a sympathetic strike,
are contributing a portion of their wages
to the Amalgamated strike.
Gompcri Hopes for Settlement.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. President
Gompers, of the American Federation of
Labor, said tonight that his organization
would use every possible means In its
power to assist the Amalgamated Associa

trouble might be arranged, and expressed
his willingness to co-operate In any ef
fort to bring about a settlement of the
conflict.

CLEVELAND. O.. Aug. 12. Sixteen Im
ported men were successfully landed at

day at the office of J. P. Morgan & Co.
that the latter is at Newport, and that
his stay there Is Indefinite. No one at
Morgan's place felt authorized to make
any statement about his intention con
cerning the strike, or about any engage
ment with Mr. Gompers.
DISAGREES WITH KOCH.
New York Professor Says Tubercu
losis Comes From Cattle.
NEW YORK, AugTl2. Dr. Edward F.
Brush, of Mount Vernon, N, Y formerly
professor of bovine pathology In the
American Veterinary College, Is especi
ally Interested In the theory advanced
by Professor Koch that tb,e bovine tuber
cular germ is not of the same variety
as the human tubercular germ, and that
there is no danger from milk and meat
to man. Dr. Brush said:
"I cannot agree with Dr. Koch in
everything he says. I am. of the opinion
that tubercular conditions In men and
animals are identical after they are
started. My occupation brings me In
close contact with dairy cattle, and I
have been compelled to devote my atten
tion to the subject of tuberculosis afflict
ing dairy stock. One fact that strength
ens my belief that human baclllary tu
berculosis is all derived from tho boiine
species Is that where this animal does
not exist, pulmonary consumption is un
known. The Klrgls, on the steppes of
Russia, who have no cows, have domesti
cated the horse, using Us milk, meat
and skin, and a case of pulmonary tuber
culosis has never been known In the
tribe. The Eskimo has no cows, neither
has he pulmonary ptblsls, and I think It
can be laid down as a fact that where
the dairy cow is unknown pulmonary
consumption does not prevail. Let us
treat this disease, and especially among
the cows, as leprosy was treated of old,
and then we shall bo saved from the
painful necessity of treating the human
race In like manner, for I am convinced
that if we stamo out tuberculosis In the
bovine race a few generations will elimi
nate it from the human family."
Offers Himself as a Subject.
DENVER, Aug. 12. In view of the In
terest taken In the question of whether
or not animal tuberculosis can be commu
nicated to human beings, T. L. Monson,
'State Dairy Commissioner of Colorado,
offers himself as a subject for a thorough
test of the matter, provided a suitable
annuity for his family is, assured In case
of fatal results. Dr. Monson has made a
study of the matter, and Is a strong be
liever In Dr. Koch's theory.
THE SECOND REUNION.
Society of the Army of the Philip
pines Sleet at Salt Lake Today.
SALT LAKE, Aug. 12. The advance
guard of the delegates to the second an
nual reunion of the Society Of the Army
of the Philippines began arriving In this
city early today, and tonight several
hundred veterans of the Spanish war aro

The arrivals Included today delegates

Francis V. Greene. Tho first meeting
of the society will be held tomorrow in
Assembly Hall, apd will be devoted to
roll call, appointment of committees and
other routine work Incidental to such
have already brought It to the notice of
many. My sister and her husband keep
it In the house all the time, and are con
vinced that there Is no better remedy for
colds. If every one would keep Peruna In
the house to guard against colds much
needless suffering would b' spared. If
any one doubts I am ready to testify, for
Peruna cured me of catarrh after I had
suffered for 10 years." Miss Anna Cramer.
Mrs. Nellie Underwood. National Press
Correspondent. Ladles of the G. A. R.,
writes from 901 Hamilton street. Chicago,
111., the following:
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen "Every Summer ivhen
the rrenthcr changes so suddenly I
seem to catch one of those tedious
colds. I have tried several remedies,
but two years ago I tried Peruna
and found It most efficacious. It
cured me completely in six tlnys.
Last Summer I bad another attack.
I at once took Pernnn and In three
days wa well. I And that by tak
ing It occasionally it keeps my sys
tem in a healthful condition, and
I therefore gladly Indorse it." Mrs.
N'ellle Underwood.
Summer colds, though not as frequent
as Winter colds, very often prove moro
dangerous. At the first symptoms oC
catching Peruna should be taken. It Is
sure to stop the cold at once, and save
needless suffering, and perhaps catarrh.
Peruna as an Internal, systemic remedy
acts promptly on the Inflamed mucous
membranes wherever the cold has settled.
It strikes at the root of the matter, and .
thus cures promptly and permanently.

and Beauty," written especially for
women by Dr. Hartman, President of the
Hartman Sanitarium. Columbus. O.

musical programme. Interspersed with
patriotic addresses by prominent local
and visiting delegates, will be given In
tho Mormon Tabernacle.

Employes of a Paper Mill Killed One
of Their Number.

in a shocking murder wero made known
here today. Edward Grossman, of Man
chester, Mich., who met his death April

a man named Medlcr, who Is dying from
consumption In a Cincinnati hospital. He

paper mill at Franklin. O.. and Incurred
the enmity of the employes there, who
placed a rope about his neck and raised
and lowered him from a beam, finally
hurling his head against the Iron shaft
ing and fracturing his skull. Grossman
was then placed upon the railroad tracks
to cover up the crime. A detective from
Cincinnati has arrested George Stag, liv
ing near Franklin, presumably In connec
tion with the affair.
