THE MORMNG OREGONIAN, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 12, 1901 ; LARGEST OF THEM ALL STEAMSHIP GLEXTDRR.ET FOR PORTLAND. BOUND She Win Talce the Blsgest Cargo of Wheat From Portland Ever Shipped. In One Vessel. The large British steamship Glenturret is headed for Portland for October -wheat loading. Her arrival will mark a new achievement for this port, for she will he the biggest vessel that has ever come here for grain. She has great carrying capacity, being of 3026 net tons. The Pak Ling,. 2875 tone. Is the largest steamship that has yet come to Portland for grain. She cleared from Portland in July with about 209,000 bushels of wheat, for St. Vin cent, where she arrived two or three days ago. The Wilhelmina, 2791 tons. Is an other big freighter which has received grain cargo here. The Glenturret is of almost the same capacity as the Oceano, 3050 tons, which will take. In all, 4,500,000 feet of lumber from the Columbia Klver. This will be the largest lumber cargo ever shipped on the Pacific Coast. Port land is winning laurels as a shipping point lor large vessels, and shows itself able not only to keep pace with other har bors on the Coast, but also to make a few advances on Its own hook. The fact that such vessels as the Pak Ling, Thyra, WI1 helmlna, Oceano and Glenturret come to the Columbia River is evidence enough of the superiority of this port. The Glenturret was announced to have Tacoma as its objective point, but Bal four, Guthrie & Co.. her charterers, saw a better place to load her at Portland. She sailed from Shanghai August 24, and if not delayed at the Oriental ports, will soon put in an appearance. She "Rill be the third steamship to load wheat here this season, the others being the Pak Ling and the Glamorganshire, the latter of which Is now in the harbor. Steamships have grown much in favor in the past few years for wheat loading. To Balfour, Guthrie & Co. Is due the credit of bring ing all three steam vessels to Portland this season. The Glamorganshire Is 400 feet Jong, 49.2 feet wide and 29.C feet deep. The steamships Hero and Elba, an nounced to be headed for Portland, will load wheat at Puget Sound. But the Glenturret is a larger vessel than either, so that Portland's listed tonnage is com pensated. The success of Portland In dis patching large steamships with grain wlU no doubt attract other vessels here of the fame character. The Palatinia, another representative of the fleet of large steamships which are visiting Portland this j'ear, is somewhat overdue, but no apprehension is felt for her safety. She is consigned to the Pa cific Export Lumber Company. She will take to the Orient a mixed cargo of lumber and Government forage supplies. CARGO IS COMPLETE. I Steamship Tyr Will Leave Today for Siberian Ports. The Norwegian steamship Tyr finished ' loading at the Portland Flouring Mills ' yesterday and will clear for Vladlvistock and Port Arthur. Her cargo consists of 120,000 sacks of flour, 400 tons of salt, 230. cases of apples and four large ship spars. This is the third cargo the Tyr has taken from Portland for Siberian ports, and the vessel Is getting well acquainted here. Already she has built up considera ble of a trade between Siberia and Port land. She was given quick loading and will start down the river probably this morning. She draws 19 feet of water. Yesterday while moored at the Flouring Mills a hawser of the steamship was broken by the swell of a passing steam boat, but no damage resulted. LUMBER TRADE GROWING. Shipments From the Lower River Expanding-. The four-masted bark Arago, 476 tons, called from Astoria yesterday with 650, 000 feet of lumber, for San Francisco. The vessel was loaded at the Xnappton mills. The bark Tam o' Shanter will also sail In a day or two for San Francisco, with lumber. The three-masted schooner J. B. Weatherwax, from San Pedro, is 1at Astoria for lumber. The lumber trade of the lower river and Astoria is ex panding. Ships are now loading there 'all the time. The Prussia, which brought a cargo 'of 21,000 cases of salmon from Nushagak .cannery, Alaska, for the Columbia River Packing Association, has unloaded at Astoria. Most of the salmon was trans ferred from the vessel to cars for ship ment East. The Kate Davenport also brought a salmon cargo from the Nush agak. Both vessels will probably load 'lumber on the lower river. WEGA IN PORT. Arrives at Falmonth 120 Days Out Carries 121,311 Bushels of Wheat. The German ship Wega arrived at Fal jmouth Tuesday, 129 days from Portland. 'She cleared from Portland the last of April, but as she did not go to sea until , the next month, she may be classed in the May fleet from Portland. The ships -which sailed from here In April are not making the good time of those that de- parted in March. The tonnage of the Wega Is 1945. She carried a cargo of -121,311 bushels of wheat, valued at 572, TS6, and loaded by Kerr, Gifford & Co. LARGE BATTLE-SHIP. Russian Man-of-Wnr Had Her Pre liminary Trial Trip. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11. The new -Russian battle-ship Relvlsan, one of the most formidable war craft in the world, left Cramps shipyard today for her preliminary trial trip. After her com passes are adjusted she will steam out to 6ea and the customary tests will be made to demonstrate her stability and sea worthiness. Bottle Floated 3000 Miles. A bottled message which was thrown .overboard by Captain Bilch, of the ship John A. Brlggs, which recently left Ta coma for San Francisco, while rounding Gape Horn in April, 1S99, has been picked up off the coast of Australia, and has reached the branch hydrographic office at Port Townsend, says a Tacoma paper. It will be forwarded to the Chief Hydro grapher at Washington, where it will be regarded with Interest as showing the 'nature of the currents in the South Pa cific Ocean. The letter accompanying the message which was sent to the hydrographic office explains that the message was found in ".July of the present year. The bottle had therefore covered a distance of approx imately 3000 miles in two years and a talf, and it is probable that it had been voyaging all over the ocean before It Anally brought up on the shore. Poisoning: at Sea. An attempt on the lives of the officers nd women on board the American schooner Envy is reported from Slnga 'pore. While the Envy was making a voy age from the South Seas to the Orient the attempt on the lives of the officers and women was made. The schooner iwas commanded by Captain John Stra chan, who was accompanied by his wife and son. Miss Bowman, a young lady of Sydney, was on the schooner as com panlon to the captain's wife. On several occasions the persons named were at tacked by a peculiar sickness, for which they could not account. Finally, on Aug ust IS, the officers of the ship, the cap tain's son and the two ladles were all taken violently ill immediately- after dinner. Prompt action by one of the crew saved the lives of the party and then a thorough Investigation was insti tuted. The cook, William. Brodle, was accused, and confessed. He said he had been induced by an Arab sailor, named Salem, to put phosphorus in the food. He said that the-srilor had a strange Influence over him. After the two conspirators had been placed in restraint there was no more trouble, and the schooner proceeded to Singapore. The prisoners were turned over to the authorities, to whom Brodie repeated the confession made to Captain Strachan. With Silem, he was examined and held for trial on a charge of at tempted murder on the hlgh'seas. Fraser River Salmon Fleet. The Combermere Is on the Fraser River loading salmon. The Blytheswood, Havlla and Largo Law are also loading there. The Charles Cotesworth Is due there from Callao, the Red Rock from Liverpool, the Ballachullsh from Santa Rosalia, the Bechdale from Callao and the Santa from Junln. Loading of Knight Companion. The steamship Knight Companion Is loading with flour and lumber at Alblna, As she will not sail until September 28. there, is no hurry about getting her cargo Into place. She will receive 1,000,000 feet of lumber and 4000 tons of flour. She has already taken aboard about 500 tons of coal. Iverna Headed This Way. The British bark Iverna Is listed for loading at Portland. She sailed from Santa Rosalia August 24, and is- now bound for this port She Is a vessel of good size, being of 2200 tons net regis ter. , Returned to Port. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1L The steam ship Tamplco, which sailed on Saturday for Seattle, has returned to port for ad ditional ballast. ' Marine Notes. The United States lighthouse tender Columbine is moored at the foot of Burnside street. The Lonsdale and St. Donatien started from Astoria for Portland yesterday In tow of the Harvest Queen. They will arrive here this afternoon. The British bark Astoria, which sailed from Portland in April and reached Queenstown after a passage of 133 days, arrived at Hamburg September 9. Laying of the keel of one of the schooners for the Tillamook lumber trade has begun at the Johnston boat yard. The two schooners will probably be finished before next Summer. The deep sea fishing schooner Jessie left Astoria several days ago, bound for the halibut banks. After securing a quantity of fish she will go to Puget Sound to unload and be overhauled. A light seal catch by the vessels op erating in Bering Sea is reported by the officers of the brigantlne Blakeley, which arrived several days' ago at Puget Sound. Some of the sealers have not taken a single seal. The Galgate arrived down the river at Astoria yesterday afternoon. She draws 22 feet 4 Inches, but went through with out any trouble. This is testimony of the good condition of the river channel even at the existing low stage of the water. The crew of the steamship Matteawan deserted at Tamoca, and when the time for sailing came a raid was made on the city jail for men. A half dozen men who had been serving petty terms sig nified their willingness to sign with the Matteawan for commutation of 'sentence, and they were liberated. Domestic and Foreign Ports.

Special exchange for Portland only. drawn up in parade order, saluted the Imperial yachts. Emperor William put to sea at 7 o'clock this morning and met the Czar out of sight of land. Many private yachts and excursion steamers, decorated with flags, went to sea to meet the Imperial flotilla, but they were all kept at a wide distance from the Ho henzollern and Standart It was late before the Standart was sighted by the Hohenzollern. The delay was due to a slight damage to the Rus sian imperial yacht apd It compelled a modification of the day's programme, the projected evolutions of the German squadron being omitted. The rule exclud ing from the maneuvering waters all ships not belonging to the squadron was so rigidly enforced that when the steam yacht Nautilus, with Prince Frederick Leopold, of Prussia, and the officers of the Life Hussars on board put to sea, It was not allowed to approach. The German warships were drawn up In the bay In the following order: In the front was the flagship Kaiser Wllhelm II; in the first row were ships of the im perial - and Brandenburg types, and crulBers, and In the second row those of the Saxony and Siegfried type. It was 3:35 P. M. when the Hohenzol lern and Standart reviewed the fleet. Emperor William, In the uniform of a Russian Admiral, stood at salute behind the Czar, who wore the uniform of a German Admiral. After the Inspection the Russian Emperor visited the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, Victorian Louise, Kurfurst FriederlriOwilhelm and Kaiser TVilhelm II. The Czar Boards the Hohenzollern. HELA, Prussia, Sept. 11. The meeting between Emperor Nicholas and Emperor William was favored with perfect weath er. The Hohenzollern, flying the German and Russian Imperial standards at- the main, welcomed the Standart with an im Derlal salute, which the Standart re- turned, both crews dressing ship, while the bands played the Russian and Ger man national anthems. Count Plateau, the Kaiser's aid, went on board the Stand art to escort the Czar, who went on board the Hohenzollern. The Kaiser received his imperial visitor at the gangway, where the two monarchs embraced each other. They then Inspect ed the guard of honor together, after which they retired to the quarter deck, where they remained In conversation until luncheon, when the Czar sat on the right of the Kaiser and Grand Duke Alexis on the left The luncheon party included Count Lamsdorff, the Russian Foreign Minister; Count von Bulow, the Ger man Imperial Chancellor; Count von Eu lenburg, Baron Frederick, Count von Schlleffen, Admirals von Hoffman and Von Tlrpltz.

The Hohenzollern, with their imperial Majesties on the Imperial bridge, steamed slowly between the llneeu followed by the Standart and her escort. The two yachts anchored at the heads of their respective lines, after which the Admirals and principal officers of the squadron went on board the Hohenzol lern, and were presented to the Czar. A Guarantee of World Peace. BERLIN, Sept. 11. The German, Aus trian and even the Russian papers unani mously recognize in the meeting of the Czar and the Kaiser, further proof of the friendly relations between the two powers and a guarantee of the preserva tion of the peace of the world. "Since this morning," says 'the Lokal Anzeiger, "the Russian Emperor abides in German waters, a guest of the Kaiser and in reach of the maneuvering fleet. While the visit here demonstrates the friendly relations existing between the two monarchs, the presence of both lead ers of foreign policy proves the political significance of the meeting. We welcome the Czar warmly. We owe It to the mighty ruler, who while" directing the destiny of many nations, endeavors to be the prince of peace and the protector of humanity. Europe owes to him largely the shaping of the present conditions of the world's affairs, which permits us to accompany his further trip with the sin cerest wishes." The Paris Programme. PARIS, Sept. 11. Notwithstanding the positive assertions made in several news papers that the Czar has decided to visit Paris September 20, the foreign office offi cials say they have received official no tification on the subject. It is noteworthy that the official statement made at the Cabinet council this morning, while an nouncing that the final details of the re ceptions and fetes at Dunkfrk, Complegne and Rhelms have been settled, does not mention a Earls programme for Septem ber 20. which, therefore, remains a day of repose, with a dinner to be given by President Loubet and a performance at a theater in the evening. Czarina at Kiel. KIEL, Sept. 11. The Imperial Russian yacht Pole Star, with the Czarina and her children on board, has arrived here. TURKEY AND FRANCE. Constans Will Not Return to His Post Until Claims Are Settled. PARIS, Sept 11. It is expected In offi cial circles here that the Sultan of Tur key will ask the French Government, now that the Tubinl claim has been settled by dlrect negotiations between the claimants and Porte to resume diplomatic relations. France, however, will reject any such proposition, and .. until the Sultan has yielded In the case of the Lorando claim, which Is nearly four times the amount of the Tubinl claim. M. Constans will not return to Constantinople. Advices from that city say It is believed the Lorando claim will soon be settled. The attitude of the Sultan toward the French claims Is undoubtedly attribut able to the decree of the French Minister of the Interior in expell ing Turkish spies from France. The de cree has been held back for several days, in the hope that the Sultan who naturally was aware that It had been drawn up, would take the hint, but the patience of the government was finally exhausted and yesterday Ferldouln Bey, head of the Turkish police in Paris and another spy were ordered to leave France. This step was followed by today's announcement that the Sultan had settled the Tubinl claim. Forerunners of Massacres. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 11. Fifty Armenian revolutionists, according to Turkish reports recently set Are to the Mussulman headquarters at Mush, Tunc lsh Armenia, where fighting afterward oc curred, the Armenians retiring towards Sassoun. It Is also reported that on September 3 Armenians and Turks blew up the bar racks at Slassoun, where 3000 troops were stationed, and that a state of panic pre vailed there In consequence. Such Turkish reports have previously been forerunners of massacres of Armen ians, and It is generally apprehended by non-Mussulmans here that massacres have already to'&en place. Murdered by Turlcs. LONDON, Sept 12. The Constantinople correspondent of the Times says a dis patch received from Erzeroum reports that a gendarme, who was enamored of an Armenian girl in a neighboring vil lage, mustered his friends, outraged the girl, murdered many persons and finally burned the village. . INCIDENT WAS EXAGGERATED. The Reservists Demonstration at Montceau les Mines. PARIS, Sept. 11. Special dispatches pub lished In London announcing a riotous demonstration on the part of a number of Reservists at Montceau lea Mines were evidently grossly exaggerated. The Inci dent at Montceau les Mines, which was of a trivial nature, has absolutely no bearing on the general spirit of the French Army. The affair occurred Sun day ei'ening and passed almost unnoticed. Only three Paris papers alluded to It Following are the facta in the case: M. Bouverle, a Socialist Deputy from Montceau les Mines, obtained from the Minister of War, General Andret the re establlshment of days of liberty for the Reservists called to the colors for a month's training, which leave had been suppressed by the local authorities. A number of Reservists consequently spent the day at Montceau les Mines, and took ,a train in the evening, a majority of the men being Intoxicated, to return to the camp at Chalon Sur Saone. On ar riving at the railroad station at Montceau les Mines, a Reservist shouted to a Gen darme, who was on the platform; "Down with the Gendarmes." The Gendarme asked for the man's pa pers and wrote his name. His comrades, seeing this, began to shout: "Down with the Gendarmes," and abused the police. The latter tried to arrest one of the sol diers and 40 or 50 Reservists surrounded them and endeavored to release the man, crying: "Long live the Revolution!" "Down with the Gendarmes!" and "Long live Anarchy!" The station master Inter vened and made the Reservists re-enter the train, which then left and the inci dent was closed. Montceau les Mines is the place where the mining strike occurred recently. It la notorious as being a hotbed of Socialism, and the miners do not change their opin ion when they don the military uniform. Being intoxicated on Sunday, some of them noisily proclaimed their sentiments. The Incident has no further significance. PLOT AGAINST CHAMBERLAIN. Story Told by a Frenchman Accused of Murder. LONDON., Sept. 11. Mart FatI Fau geron, a Frenchman who was charged today at Clerkenwell Police Court with the murder of Herman Jung, an old jew eler of Clerkenwell, about 10 days ago, told a remarkable story of a plot to kill Joseph Chamberlain, the Colonial Secre tary. The day of the murder Jung sum moned him to his shop, where they dis cussed the misery caused by the South African War, for which Jung declared Mr. Chamberlain was responsible, and Jung told Faugeron that If he could kill Mr. Chamberlain, he (Jung), through Inter mediaries, would guarantee him a fortune, tendering him $10 to buy good clothes In order to enable him to approach his vic tim. Faugeron says he refused, where upon Jung declared he should not leave the shop alive, and, picking up a heavy Iron, rushed on Faugeron and felled him to the ground.

Four Judges Join in Opinion That Legislative Act Was Neither Spe cial Nor Local. Barber shops must remain closed on Sundays. Judsre Cleland yesterday ren dered a decision in the State Circuit Court sustaining the act of the Legislature to prohibit barberlng on Sunday, and the decision was concurred In. by Judges Fraz er, George and Sears. The question of the constitutionality of the law was raised in the case of W. M. Northrup, who was connected In the Mu nicipal Court May 13, for violation of the same. He filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, which was argued last term of court by C. M. Idleman. for the petitioner, and District Attorney Cham berlain for the state. It has reported at that time that the proprietors of several large barber shops who desired to defeat the law were behind Northrup. An ap peal to the Supreme Court will probably be taken. Following Is the decision: This act declares It shall be a mlsdqmeanor punishable by fine or Imprisonment for any person to carry on the business of bartering on Sunday In Oregon. Sunday has always been recognized In this state as a day upon which It Is unlawful to perform certain acts. It 13 particularly ex cepted In tho computation of days within which the Governor may return with his ob jections bills passed by the Legislature and In hl3 possession for consideration when the Legislative session adjourns. Tho service of any civil process on Sunday Is forbidden. If attempted, the service is void and the person attempting to make tho service is liable to punishment by fine. Hill's Code, section 1S0G: The keeping open of stores, shops and certain specified places of resort and places of amusement is for bidden under penalty of fine. Hill's Code, section 1S00: This section waa enacted In 1SC5. and expressly excepts from Its provisions certain avocations, among which Is that of barbers. It Is interesting to notice that by an act of 1804. barbers were only per mitted to keep open shops and conduct their business of barberlng until 10 o'clock Sunday morning. The act under consideration pro hibits the exercise of the trade at any time on Sunday. The law-making power ha3 at all times exer cised a discretion as to what acts should be prohibited on Sunday, and no general provi sion forbidding all secular labor on. that day has ever been enacted In this state. One contention of the petitioner Is that, in the absence of a general law forbidding per sons to engage in the pursuit of their usunl avocations on the first day of the week, the aot of 1001 Is void, and particularly because in conflict with the 14th amendment to the Con stitution of the United States, which provides that "no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges and im munities of a citizen of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without duo process of law, nor deny any person within Its jurisdiction of the equal protection of the laws." It was conceded upon the argument that It Is competent for the Legislature of the state, by a general law, applicable to all persons, to restrain all from tho pursuit of ordinary business on Sunday. This concession recognizes the authority of the state in the exercise of the police power to establish a day of rest. Indeed this Is stating nothing more than the principle of law well understood and amply sustained by text-writers and decisions. The Supreme Court of tho United States has held repeatedly that the exercise of the po lice power by a state In this behalf is not a violation of the letter or spirit of the 14th amendment. This principle of construction has been held to include and sustain enactments which were limited to a particular business, and even to a single department of the opera tions of a corporation. Hennlngton vs. Georgia, 163. U. S. 200; Petit vs. Minnesota. 177 U. S. 164. Validity of Special Laws. The alldlty of general and special laws Intended to restrain ordinary business and. labor on Sunday la not In any degree affected by the terms of the Federal Constitution. A consideration of the scope and purpose of the laws enacted In the exercise of the police power of the state will meet and dispose of other contentions presented by the petitioner. A general and very satisfactory statement of what may be tho subject of such legislation Is found In Cooley's Constitutional Limita tions, sixth edition, page 470: "Laws public in their object may. unless express constitu tional provisions forbid, be either general or local In their application; they may cmbraco rcany subjects or one. and they may extend to all citizens or be confined to particular classes, as minors or married men, bankers or traders, and the like. The authority that legislates for the state at large must deter mine whether particular rules shall extend to tho whole state and all Its citizens, or. on tho other hand, to a subdivision of the state or a single class of Its. citizens only. . . . The Legislature may also deem It desirable to prescribe peculiar rules for the several occu pations, and to establish distinctions in the rights, obligations, duties and capacities of citizens. The business of common carriers, for Instance, or of bankers, may require spe cial statutory regulations for tho general bene fit and It may be a matter of public policy to give laborers In one business a specific Hen for their wages, when It would be Impracti cable or impol'tlc to do the same thing for persons In some other employments. If the laws be otherwise unobjectionable, all that can be required In these cases is that they may be general In their application to the class or locality to which they apply: and they are then public in character, and of their property and policy the Legislature must Judge. Unless express constitutional provision forbids, the discretion of the Legislature may bo freely exercised." The court believes that the authorities cited may be reconciled by determining whether or not in the given case there existed a consti tutional provision which prohibited the exer cise of the power in the manner sought to be adopted by the law-givers. In the Stato of California the constitution prohibits the passage of local or special laws for the punishment of crimes and misde meanors In all cases where the general laws can be made applicable. A similar provision obtains In the constitutions of Illinois and Mis souri. In these states, grounded upon this particular clause, decisions have been ren dered against the validity of acts substantially like the one under consideration. ... In the absence of a similar restriction In tho con stitution of the State of Oregon these cases are clearly not In point, and have been, for the reason given, disregarded. In other states where the limitation men tioned does not appear In the constitution. Sunday laws almost Identical with the act of 1001 have been sustained. A number of citations were given. The opinion concludes with the statement that: vThe court Is of the opinion that within the doctrine announced and approved by the Su preme Court of Oregon the act is neither special or local. Secular Pursuits. A statement of the ground upon which Sun day laws similar to that of 1001 Is found in People s. Bellet, supra. The court says: "The better reason for maintaining the police power to prohibit citizens from engaging In secular pursuits on Sunday is tho necessity of such regulation as a sanitary measure. As to those employments which are noiseless and harmless in themselves, and conducted In a manner not calculated to offend those who. from religious scruples, observe Sunday as a Lord's day. this necessity appears to bo the only valid source of legislative power; and this Is based upon the fact that experience has demonstrated that one day's rest Is requisite for the health of most individuals, anctnot all individuals possess the power to observe a day of rest of their own volition.

Lucy Parsons, widow of the anarchist who was hanged for his complicity In the Haymarket ri ots In Chicago, was interviewed by a representative of the Associated Press af ter the arrest of Emma Goldman. Mrs. Parsons was found In the garden In the rear of her comfortable cottage In North Troy street. She admitted that she knew Emma Goldman, stating that they nrsc met In 1SS7 In Philadelphia, where Mrs. Parsons went on a lecturing tour. Mrs. Parsons declared, however, that for sev eral years she had held aloof from tho active circles of anarchism, and as an evi dence of her sincerity expressed the great est pleasure when told that President Mc Klnley will undoubtedly survive. "I have known, the Isaaks," admitted. Mrs. Parsons. "They came here from, the Pacific Coast In January, and I haa called at their home in Carroll avenue many times. I have not seen any o tho family for several days." Despite this statement. Mrs. Parsons displayed after a few moments' hunt the latest copy of "Free Society," the editor ial columns of which were tilled with glor ification of BrescI and his erlme, the kllllm? of King Humbert o Italy. Mrs. Parsons steadfastly refused to part with her copy of the paper, maintaining that it might be the "last Issue." Questioned as to the life of the Xsaate?, Mrs. Parsons expressed much ignorance. She only knew that In some way they managed to issue the paper. They wera persons of considerable originality and: managed to And printers who were will ing to get out the sheet. Mrs. Parsons declared that! Caolgosz is undeniably a lunatic. 'SNb person of sound Intellect." she said "would assail the head of this Republic. With only a few years to occupy the position of. President what good could come o tho attempted assassination? The President is the Chief Executive through popular choice and In view of the limited term, of power conferred upon him no person of sound judgment could dream, of benefiting mankind by attempting to bring about his death. It could have been the deed only of a lunatic. I have never mt Czolgosz. He was, I ana sure, connecttd In no way with the persona under aTrest In this city. It is true, however,, on tho face of these statements, that; lie had visited Chicago and was acquainted with, the Isaaks. But he was not supplied with funds by them, nor was" he urged to do the shooting by any person connected with the circle in Chicago. "What could be gained by the wanton shooting of the President of the Uniud States? Nothing. It is the trusts, tho heads of the trusts with whom we should now contend. The trusts and those pr sona who control the necessities of lif are the ones against whom tho energies of all classes must be focused. Every ar ticle of food the necessities of life are becoming so dear as to be beyond the reach of common people. Such a state of affairs cannot continue. Everything I wish to purchase for the household has doubled In price, and Its Increase In value is chiefly due to the manipulation of prices by combinations of capita). But with this the President of this grand na tion has nothing to do. Therefore, I say Czolgosz in his- road crime aetod) not aa the agent of any circle or organised ene mies of the Government, but strictly on his fevered imaginings. . "What can I say about my relations with the Isaaks? Nothing while they are in the hands of the enemy. I do not see how they can even be extradited. They have committed no crime. But, wmle they are In the hands of the police, they are In the hands of the -enemy." Retained by Lilly-white. LONDON, Sept. 11. J. A.

Dr. Teicoft & Co A DAMAGED PROSTATE As a Factor In So-Called "Weakness" Cannot Be Too Highly Emphasized. Assuming that the functions of the Frps tatte Gland are understood, it should be apparent that when damaged by either contracted disorder or dissipation that dis ordered function must result. Ther first symptoms pointing tb this prostatic dis order are referable to the reproductive system. It is first noticed that patients suffering from this disease are embar rassed by prematureness. This is invari ably followed, sooner or latter, with all. of those symptoms known as "Weak ness." The most common form of dam age to the gland is congestion of moro or less severity, which finally becomes localized as Prostatic Catarrh, and if this catarrh once becomes chronic, then vari ous nervous symptoms arise, which are known to physicians as Neurasthenia, or exhausted nerve force. The greater num ber of patients suffering from this so called weakness are healthy and robust men In every other respect men who possibly have been treated by tonics, elec tricity, etc., for a weakness which, if the above had been made clear, will be un derstood never to have existed. For tho past few years we have been calling the attention of the medical profession and others to the fact that the above well defined symptoms were not weaknesses, but results of inflammation,, and that drugs could not cure, but procedures di rected toward repairing the damage al ways prove successful. It is no longer a theory, but a fact, and tfhe adoption of the Talcott Prostatic Dilator as a neces sity In the treatment of these troubles is proof of our assertion.
