XHE CZAR'S VISIT.
French Authorities Deflnltply Decide
on a Programme.
PARIS, Sept 3.,-M. Waldeck-Rousseau,
the Premier, was In conference today
with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, 11.
Delcasse, and the forthcoming visit of
the Russian Emperor was discussed. As
a result-of the conference, it was defi
nitely decided that President Loubet, ac
companied by the members of the Cabinet
would proceed ito Dunkirk, September 1",
and embark the follpwing day on the torpedo-boat-destroyer

tember 19 will bft devoted to the review at
Bethany and to the visit to Rheims. Noth
ing has been arranged definitely for Sep
tember 20 except the, state banquet at
Complegne and the gala performance in
i the Castle Theater. It is still hoped that
the Czar will corn to Paris the morning
of September 20, but it Is more probable
that be will merely visit the environs of
Complegne and leave the following morn
ing. There is great" disappointment in Dun
kirk at the shortness of the Czar's stay
there, and especially as the quay will be
isolated from the public, which will thus
scarcely get a glimpse of the Russian
'Emperor It is understood that the Rus
sian embassy and the Czar's entourage

CHUX 3IAY XOT APOLOGIZE.
Possibility of Exaintory Mission Xot
J Goinic to Berlin.
B.ERT3N, Sept.',!. It is now very- doubt
iul, according to a dispatclvto the Lokal
Anzelger from Basle, -Swltzerlaitd, wheth
er Prlnco Phim -o.!ll nnmt tn RprHn to
make formal apologi for the 'murder of'
Baron von Kcttelerv Members of the cx-i
piatory mission say- "Under present con
ditions we can never go to Berlin. We
would rather die than accept them." It
appears that they object particularly to
Prince Chun's attendants v prostrating
themselves before Emperor William, In
asmuch as this is a special honor reserved
for the Emperor of China, and would in
volve a recognition of the Kaiser's .equal
ity, I
The following information is given re
garding Prince Chun's speech to the Kai
ser. Prince Chun intended to say. I'The
Chinese Government regrets that JBaron
von Ketteler was killed," but the German
Government dictated the following fbrm:
"The Chinese Government begs pardon for
the murder of the German Minister, Baron
von Ketteler,"
The Chinese in Basle are trying to give
the case international prominence by em
phasising the fact that one of the digni
taries selected for prostration was maae'a
Baronet by Queen Victoria, while another
has the cross of the Xglon of Honor. ,
It is alleged that Emperor WllUamv is
determined that the protocol shall be
signed before he receives Prince Chun,
and- that he will insist upon an apology
tor the murder of Baron von Ketteler.
Bevond this, however, the ceremony of re
ception will be deprived of everything of
a humiliating character, full honors be
ing awarded to Prince Chun as a brother
of Emperor Kwang Hsu.
Delay In Signing; the Protocol,
LONDON. Sept 2. The delay In the
promulgation of the edicts necessary to
complete the protocol is due to the Chun
difficult-, says a dispatch to the Times
vfrom Pekin. The Chinese version is that
Emperor "William insisted upon Prince
Chun Kotowing, and when this was re
fused, wanted his suite to kotow. For
a century past all envoys of Pekin have
Tefused to perform this barbaric cere
mony, ani there is great astonishment
here that Germany has raised the ques
tion. The German Minister is so anxious
to get the protocol signed that he has to
day, for the second time, urged the Min
isters not to await for the edict but
to get the protocol signed and to trust tne
Chinese envoys for securing the edicts
afterward. In iew of the unsatisfactory
nature of the aims of the edicts, t is
impossible for Sir Ernest Satow and Mr.
Rockhlll to assent to this proposal, al
though a majority of the Ministers of the
.powers are willing. Owing to the. prO
' tracted delay Mr. RockhlU has been com
pelled to decline the French offer of a
passage to Japan on the cruiser Pascal.

LONDON, Sept 2. "LI Chlng Fang, the

BRITISH PACIFIC CABLE.
One of the Most Important Stations
"Will Be at Norfolk Island.
WASHINGTON, Sept L An Interest
ing report on the British trans-Paclflc
cable, showing it to be the longest one
. ever laid, has been received at the State
Department from Consular Agent Robin
son at Norfolk Island, under date of June
20. The report states that on the passage
across tp Norfolk Jsland from Brisbane,
Australia, .soundings, were taken ever' 10
miles by the British cable steamer, Brit
annia, which is being used to mark out a
track for the cable. About 100 miles from
the coast an obstruction was met with in
the shape of a range of submarine moun
tains lying directly in the track, and a
deviation to the south had to be made
in order to clear it The greatest depth
obtained was 2S00 fathoms and the most
shallow 237 fathoms, the latter being the
depth recorded when the ship was right
above the tops or the mountains. It has
Tjeen decided"to land th6 cable at Anson
Bay, on tho west side of Norfolk Jeland..
Anson Bay is six miles 'from Kingston
Settlement and a cable house is to be
built close in to the shore. Norfolk
Island will be one of' the most Important
stations of this cable route, as all mes
sages to Australia and New Zealand will
converge there to be repeated.
Redmond Calls It Absurd.
LONDON, Sept 2. John Redmond, M.
P., speaking yesterday In Westport, took
up the Conservative challenge and char
acterized the policy of 'reducing Ireland's
representation in Parliament, as hinted
at by Mr. Balfour and Mr, Chamberlain
during the recent Unionist demonstration
at Blenheim Palace, as absurd. He de
clared that the Irish people can abso
lutely disregard such threats and "rely
upon the provisions of the act of union,
which eettled the question of representa
tion." Dilating upon what he called "the
collapse of the Parliamentary system dur
ing the recent session," he said It proved
that with a little pressure the United
Irish party could get anything It wanted.
The Conservative papers today comment
upon Mr. Redmond's speech, as Justifying
the Government in taking "practical
measures to mitigate the nuisance of Irish
obstruction."
Spanish Officers Sought Revenge.

officers were arrested, but they were lib
erated on giving their word of honor to
keep the peace. '

FALSE TRAILS RUN' DOWN.
Bosnie Francis, the Slayer of MUs
Henderson, Still at Large.
KANSAS CITY. Mo., Sept 1 Bossie
Francis, the murderer of Miss Mary m.
HMderson, at Columbus, Mo., last Tues
day has not yet been apprehended and
many people believe that he Is no longer
.near the vicinity of Johnson County.
There Is no conclusive evidence that the
maniwhom the posse was after last night
near Strasburg and Pleasant Hill was
Franqls. The only persons who saw him
were"some section hands, and today they
told""13eputy Sheriff Temple, of Johnson
OounW. that thev saw a man runnlntr
-fromV-fhe railroad tracks to the woods,
but they could not tell whether he was
a negro or a white man. A negro was
taken off a freight train at Harrlson
vllle late last night, but he was not
the man wanted. Sheriff Koch, at War
rensburg, today was notified that a negro
was arrested arly this morning at Clin
ton, Mo..' and a photograph of the pris
oner will e sent to the Sheriff for Identi
fication. No effort was madevto find Francis in
Johnson County today. He is believed
to be In Cass or Henry County, and a
few armed men are searching for him In
those counties. Posses left Pleasant Hill
and Lee's Summit this afternoon to pros
ecute the hunt between those towns, as
they had heard that a negro answering
the description of Francis had been seep
In that neighborhood today. Every ru
mor Is being Investigated, but as-all clues
thus far have led to false trails, new
reports do ' not inspire much confidence.
Information against Charles and Frank
Brlsco and Emmett Davenport, charging
them with bejng accessories after the fact
of the murder of Miss Henderson, have
been filed at Warrensburg. Their pre
liminary hearing will be held Wednesday
at Warrensburg.

Trade Unions Kill English Glass.
North American Revifinv
The story of the flint-glass trade is a
very instructive one. This used to be a
very exterslye and lucrative business In
Great Britain, affording highly paid
employment to mary thousands of work
ers. These workers had, of course, their
trade union. Tho union waxed 'fat, nd
kicked on the question of apprenticeship,
and it succeeded in enforcing a strict
limitation to the number of boys to be
allowed to enter the trade in any one
vfcar or in anv nun fnr.toV'v. Havlntr pe-
i cured this,'' they put the screw on wages
untu tney raised tne pay or an ordinary
journeyman to between 3 10s and 4
a week. The monopoly of labor was com
plete, but not the monopoly of supply.
Tho Germans stepped In and took the
trade bodily from under the nose of
the Flint-Glass Makers' Union, which now
does not; in tho whole United Kingdom,
contain as many members as there are
workers in many a single factory in Ger
many. The Industry has gone, save two
or three high-class concerns making
costly tableware for the wealthy, and
with It the workers, who either emigrated
to America or sought employment In other
overcrowded avenues. Much the same
kind of thing happened In the bottlemak
Ing Industry. Apprentices dnd produc
tion were kept down, and wages were
forced up,, until bottles became so dear
that Belgium sailed in and "scooped the
market." German table glass and Bel
gian bottles now tell the tale, In every
Brttlsh.household, of what aggressive and
tyrannical trade unionism can do for the
Industries of the country. Let it be
noted that ,the Initial cause of the ruin of
these Industries vas the limitation placed
on apprenticeship, for that Is one of the
most dangerous and lamentable features
of trade unionism policy as still pursued."

SERMONS BY ROOSEVELT
CAGO PULPITS.
These, With a Luncheon With Illinois
Politicians and a Visit to Hull
Honse, Occnpied His Time.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1. Two lay sermons, a
luncheon with several" Illinois politicians
and a Vl3lt io Hull House were the events
that occupied Vice-President Roosevelt
In Chicago today. He left tonight for
Minneapolis, where he. will deliver a La
bor day address tomorrow.
After breakfast at the Chlcagd Club
with Paul Morton, of the Santa Fe road,
the Vice-President wag driven to the
Trinity Dutch Reformed Church, on
I Marshfleld avenue. This Is the church
Air. Koosevelt attended when in uni
cigo, and he is known personally to
many members of the congregation.
After the sermon the pastor Invited him
to the platform, and the Vice-President,
as has been his custom when visiting
this church, made a short Informal ad
dress. , '
"I shall not attempt to preach doc
trine," he said. "This Is to be simply
a lay sermon, For my text I have taken
a passage that always has Impressed me
forcibly. It Is, 'Be ye doers of the word,
not hearers only.'
"Onq of the most abhorrent traits of
character a man can possess, in my esti
mation, is hypocrisy," said Mr. Roose
velt. "We all have met men who go
.about clothing -themselves In scriptural
teachings, yet whoso conduct toward
their fellowmen shows that they do not
live up to the teaching, 'love thy neigh
bor as thyself.' The great thing In
this world for us Is to be doers. Of
course, to be doers we must be hearers.
That is, we must go to church and study
the Bible, hut our duty does not end
there. We should give a helping hand
to others by spreading the word of
Christ. It is well enough to tell a man
what he ought to do, but this must be
supplementel , by some demonstration of
application. '
"In your business and work, If you let
Christianity stop when you leave the
church door, thero Is not much right
eousness In you. The man wno carries
Christianity into his everyday work
stands a better chance of making a suc
cess of life than one who does not
Every man should strive to do justice to
himself, but In doing so ha should not
forget the rights of his neighbor. He
should be sure that he is In the right
and then stand squarely In the path. If
there Is any moving to be done, lot tho
other fellow do It. This applies to na
tions as well as to Individuals.
"We have all seen this type of man
who Is spoken of as his worst enemy,
I have no patience with him. Often ho
Is a worse enemy to others. A manly
man and that Is what we all ought to
be must have strength and power and
ncrsfvMflnpp. It Is the trials of life
that test the stuff a man or woman is J
maae or ana ine one who i sbi
fearless and courageous to do right is
the Ideal.
"6n this question of our duty to our
neighbor let me say that no one ought
to submit to being Imposed upon, but
before you act always stop to consider
the rights of others before standing up
for your own. The only true way to help
a man Is to aid him In helping himself
All of us stumble many times during ji
lifetime, and the duty of man to hl3
neighbor Is to help him to his feet as he
may help himself. You can help a man
successfully, but you cannot carry him
successfully. If you rob a man of his
self-respect, take away bis sturdy self
reliant manhood, no good you can'do "will
make amends."
At the conclusion of the service Colonel
Roosevelt held an Informal reception and
spent half an hour shaking hands with
inembers of the congregation and writ
ing his autograph in hymn books and
Bibles, after which he drove to the
First Methodist Church and addressed
the congregation there.
A number of politicians, among whom
was ex-Congressman wuuam wnmer,
were waiting for the Vlce-Pfesldent
when he returned to his hotel and the
party took luncheon together. As the
affair was private, It Is not known
whether politics was discussed or not
When the party dispersed, Colonel Roose
velt walked over- to the Hull House,
where he had a private talk with Miss
Jane Addams until train time, when he
left, at 6:80 o'clock, for Minneapolis.

Female domestic servants come largely
from country villages. It Is a general
complaint that on entering service they
are mostly incapable of doing the sim
plest 'household work without supervision,
and that only a small proportion ever

couple of generations ago half the cot

JUSTICE FOR SERVANT GIRLS
She Should Be Treated Kindly, and
- Xot Sneered At.
PORTLAND, Sept. 1. (To the Editor.)
I have read with Interest and approval
your short editorial in Sunday's paper on
the chances for work in the Northwest,
and also with disapproval the first poem
(?) In the "Slings and Arrows" column.
Does The Oregonlan realize that one of
the very first reason that deters respect
able girls from taking up housework as
a business is the continual flow of just
that kind of jibes and slurs referred to
above? I do not mean to say that there
are none who fit the description given
given In that bit of verse. There, are far
too many.
But every one 'will agree with me that
the funny columns of every newspaper
are largely filled with more or less funny
comments on the doings of the servant
girls, until, whether knowingly or not, we
all have become saturated with the be
lief that there Is only the one kind, and
that bad.
. Who has ever read a servant-girl Joke
where the girl gan use correct language?
When was It ever intimated that a ser
vant gfrl ever belonged to any but the
Catholic 'church, or ever attended any
thing but hodcarrlers' or longshoremen's
dances? Who ever admitted seeing a ser
vant girl go to the public library and
draw out books, or who read anything
but cheap love stories. "of the New York
Weekly type? Who ever read of a ser
vant girl who kept any compnny except
an Irish policeman or the driver of a
dirt cart or butcher wagon? In short. In
the public prints, who has ever admitted
the possibility of a servant girl being
anything but a rude, uncultured, ungov
ernable being, with supreme disregard for
all other peoples' rights?
The writer of this letter Is a man, and
he. Is writing this without even his wife's
knowledge. He is writing also from a
man's standpoint of fair play. Our house
hold now has, and at various times for
years has had, a servant girl who Is
treated as a member of the family In
every respect, except on special occasions,
such as dinners, were the table requires
continual service, and such times. We
have not had the same girl all the time.
On the contrary, we have had a number
of different ones, as we have lived in
various places. Some, perhaps, were not
as satisfactory as others, but, without
exceptions, our treatment of them brought
In return a service that could not be ex
celled In fidelity and carefulness by any
office girl or saleslady In tha land.
We have furnished them with bedrooms
of their own, as neat and cozy as that of
the daughters of the family. They are
glvea all possible time dut: the present
one has her bicycle, which she knows
how to use properly. The occasions are
rare when It is necessary to work as late
as 8 o'clock. She attends church services
and Sunday school, and mingles with the
young people on equal terms. And yet
she works for wages.
Does the foregoing sound like a fairy
story? No doubt It does to those who
are accustomed to ordering things done
about the house In the manner of a. section
boss with a Japanese gang. Every word
I have written Is absolutely "true, and
there are thousands of homes In Port
land where conditions could be the same
as In ours. Yet I doubt If It Is the case
In 20 Instances In the thousand. Why?
Because the family, and especially the
wife, cannot bring themselves to regard
their hired help as anything but of a
much inferior class, socially, and proceed
to treat them about as condescendingly
as they do the Chinese or Italian vege
table peddler at, their doors. Following
this treatment, what kind of service can
they expect. In return? They get. rot
what they pay for, but what their treat
ment Invites.
Does anyone wonder why the average
girl who is compelled to work prefers the
shop or factory, even where It Is a
'struggle to pay board and clothe them
selves out of their small wage? The mat
ter of treatment explains It. And the
working girl is as full of the notion that
she la superior, socially, to the servant
girl, as the working girl's mother Is. I
am sorry to say that on one or two In
stances where parties have been held In
our home by members of the family, one
or more girls have been known to refuse
to -attend, solely because It was known
that our girl would be admitted to a free
part In the entertainment. And these
girls, who held themselves aloof, work for
less than $1 per day, pay car fare from
that, come home tired and often sick, and
despise the necessity of working. Yet,
withal, they refuse to associate with a
girl who would not change work with
one of them.
This letter Is already too long, but the
writer feels that, gome way. the matter
61 proper treatment has never been put
forward In the proper way. Does any
one doubt that If working girls could be
assured of the treatment we give to ours
that hundreds of good girls would turn
their labors In that direction? No doubt
of It. And why could It not be. Our
household Is not an extraordinary one.
There are several thousand much like It
In Portland. And If the right Idea was
followed as systematically as we do, the
servant-girl problem would be In an ad
vanced state of solution.
The writer Is not attempting to cover
the case In wealthy families where there

that of the cook. On this man rests to a

Sunday mornings, punctually at 5
