What the London Weekly Papers Say of the Election. LONDON, Nov. 8. The weekly papers tomorrow will have a good deal to say about the defeat of Tammany Hall. The Spectator thinks that Mr. Roosevelt's succession to the Presidency, giving all reformers hope and confidence, weighed heavily In the contest, adding that It may be expected that his Influence will be felt In other great American cities like Philadelphia and Chicago, which, the paper says, are hardly In better condition than New York, though they are less closely watched by Europeans. Continu ing, the Spectator says; "If this Is the case. President Roose velt's term of office will benefit the whole world, for the condition of American cities is at present an opprobrium to liberalism everywhere. The people there are really free, and, say all the reactionaries, look at the men they elect and the crimes they sanction and condone. The best-governed city In America, by universal consent. Is Washington, directed by a nominated and paid commission." The Saturday Review, with Its usual distrust of all things American, says that Tammany is "the product of thatv falsa sense of equality prevailing in America, according to which settlement of all sortp of minor offices Is put Into the hands of electors who care nothing about them." Wirepullers, logrollers and bosses, types all as ugly as their names, will flourish in the future as In the past, says the paper. Decent people will be sufficiently shocked at the prevailing extravagance and corruption to demand Immediate ref ormation, but the organization of the fu slonlsts,.as well as Tammany, is sure to reappear -In a generation. YERKES' ART PURCHASES. ' Did Not Pay an Extravagant Price for Paintings. NEW YORK, Nov. 8. The statement that Charles T. Yerkes paid 16.000 ($50,000) for two Turners, has evoked emphatic denial from that gentleman, according to the Herald's London representative. Tfte pictures In question, which hung In Mr. Yerkes private office at the Hamilton Building, are both early works of the famous English artist, one of them, "In Sunny Italy," being hardly recognizable as a Turner at all. "The price has been greatly exagger ated," aid Mr. Yerkes in answer to an inquiry. "I would not pay any such price. Pictures which sell at these absurd fig ures are, as a general rule, not worth any. thing like the amount, and such reports I regard as mischievous to art Itself. Foreigners do not pay any such money for works of art. It Is left for Ameri cans to do the ridiculous In this respect." "WlTat about the duty on pictures shipped to America?" was asked. "The duty In the past, as compared with the present, is remarkable, to say the least," replied Mr. Yerkes. "Before the present tariff went Into operation all pic tures painted before 1700 were admitted free. "American artists have always claimed they did not require or desire protection. The old masters surely cannot be ac cused of being In competition with Ameri can artists. It is to be hoped that the United States will not be left as the only nation in the world which compels duty to be paid on works of art." Text of the Manchurian Treaty. LONDON, Nov. 9. The Hankow corre spondent of the Times supplies what he alleges is a correct translation of the au thentic text of the Manchurian convention proposed by Russia. The convention stip ulates for the gradual withdrawal of the Russian forces within three years, "pro vided no other rebellion occurs and the powors do not interfere." The number and stations of the Chinese garrisons j must be settled in concert with the Rus- slan military authorities, and Russian assent must be obtained ,for any railway construction in Southern Manchuria. " "No mention is made in the text sent by the grand council to the Southern Viceroys of mining, commercial or other exclusive privileges, ' says the correspond ent, "and the Viceroys believe the -convention contains other clauses which the grand council is not willing to disclose." . f The Cretan Settlement. NEW YORK. Nov. S. The Vienna cor respondent of the London Times and the New York Times, commenting upon the meeting of the King of the Hellenes and Emperor Francis Joseph, says that since the Gratco-Roumanlm rapprochement under the auspices of Austrla-Hungar the Balkan Peninsula has been less at the mercy of the unscrupulous agencies who would bring about a European war in order to satisfy their own selfish ambitions. Austrian and Greek interests lie very much in the same direction and though there are no grounds to suppose that special arrangements have been made between thfi- two countries, a break down of the status quo would undoubted ly find them prepared. In regard to Crete, says the correspond ent, the present settlement Is not meant to last forever. Means will be found to make the conditions tolerable for the High Commissioner and the Cretans un til a union with Greece will be possible with less risk of occasioning disturb ances than Is the case at the present time. Russian Alliance With Japan. NEW YORK, Nov. 8. The Toklo cor respondent "of the London Times and the New York Times says the leading Japan ese journals have been earnestly discuss ing the overtures in Russian newspapers looking toward a Russian alliance with Japan The proposed basis of the ar rangement is that the Toklo Government refrain from all measures Impeding Rus sia in Manchuria. Russia, In return, would pledge herself to leave a free hand to Japan In Corea, but Russia should bo al lowed to appropriate a convenient naval station in Southern Corea. None of ihe Japanese Journals approve the idea, the papers objecting that two powers cannot divide supremacy in the far East. They also oppose the proposal as pointing to the permanent absorption of Manchuria by Russia. The Times correspondent says Japan wants Corea to remain Corcan, but also wants the world to recognize that Japan's interests there are too vital to allow her to remain an, active spectator of Corea's absorption by another power. Fog in France. NEW YORK, Nov. 8. Acordlng to the Paris correspondent of the Herald, on ac count of the fog ft requires no stretch of Imagination on the part of the Parisians nowadays to mistake the French capital for London, and the whole of France Is practically in the same pdsltlon. From all parts of the provinces comes news of the fog and Ita Inevitable drawbacks. Railway traffic, suburban and provincial, is very seriously disorganized. No steam boats dare to venture forth on the Seine. The tramways and omnibus lines maintain their service with the utmost difficulty. The ordinary routine of Paris 'offices and workshops is completely upset, as thou sands of business men, clerks and em ployes are unable to report themselves for duty until long after the appointed hour. Crovrd at Jackson Trial. LONDON, Nov. 8. The hearing of the charges against Theodore and Laura Jackson (Ann Odella Diss de Bar) at the Marylebone Police Court here, continues to attract crowds. Prominent stage peo ple. Including H. J. Irving and Clement Scott, and leaders of the bench, bar, church and Parliament were among to day's audience. The testimony today was a reiteration of previous evidence. The proceedings were enlivened, by several brisk passages between the presiding mag istrate and the woman prisoner, the lat ter Informing the court that she was tired of his evident partiality for the witnesses. Italy's New Battle-Ship. NEW YORK. Nov. 8. The battle-shlp Bfrennetto Bren has been successfully launched at Castlemare, in the presence of the King and Queen, says the Naples correspondent of the Herald. On the ar rival of the Queen she was presented with a magnificent bouquet. Her Ma jesty performed the christening ceremony, and as the battle-shlp gilded Into the watery the ships of the Mediterranean squadron fired a royal salute. The Brennetto Bren is one of the larg est ships of the Italian Navy, having a displacement of 13,000 tons. Her launching weight was 7000 tons. "Work of the Jessup Expedition. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 8. The Jes sup expedition has finished its work. The leaders Norman C. Buxton, an American, and Jackselson haye arrived at Moscow, after having traveled 5000 versts In Kam chatka and other semi-Polar districts. They have brought with them 100 boxes of collections for the American Museum of Natural History of New York City. Dupli cates will be given to the St. .Petersburg Academy of Sciences. The explorers have thoroughly investigated many tribes dur ing the past four months. To Celebrate Hugo'i Birthday. NEW YORK, Nov. 8. The government has decided to celebrate the 100th anni versary of Victor Hugo's birth by a national commemoration, says the Paris correspondent of the Tribune. There will be imposing ceremonies, In which all French writers, painters, sculptors, dra matic and lyric artist arc to participate. HAMPERED BY 'BULGARIA. Dickinson Has Difficulty In Dealing With' Miss Stone' Captors. SOFIA, Nov. 8. The government last night caused the arrest of a man who was visiting United States Consul General Dickinson and searched him, presumably thinking that he was an emissary of the brigands, and expecting to seize a com munication from or to Miss Stone, the American missionary. The man was sub sequently released. This action of the authorities was seemingly a deliberate at tempt to frighten delegates who might visit Mr. Dickinson, and thus prevent ne gotiations from taking place In Bulgarian territory. The attitude of the authorities hampers Mr. Dickinson, as the brigands refuse to treat in Turkey. Mr. Dickinson, in his reply to Miss Stone's letter, urged the brigands still further to reduce their demands and ac cept the amount subscribed, in view of the determination of the Government not to contribute toward the ransom and the Im possibility of collecting further subscrip tions. It Is believed the brigands will agree to this. A messenger last night brought a letter from Miss Stone, written In English. All the previous communications from Miss Stone have been In Bulgarian. The let ter says she Is still well, and gives valu able information about her captors and other circumstances which Miss Stone was debarred from sending In Bulgarian. Little Known at Washington. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. All that can be gathered hore touching Miss Stone's case Is that the reports from the Levant are to the effect that some kind of com munication is being maintained, though very Indirectly, between Miss Stone's captors and the people who are trying to secure her release. It is believed that up to this point the missionaries themselves have been the only persons to keep oponlj the line of communication. Stops the Cough and Works off The. Cold.

FORCED CONTRIBUTIONS GOLOMBIA LEVYING ON THE STEAMSHIP COMPANIES. Government in Desperate Straits to Raise Funds to Carry on the War Tvro Na-val Reports. WASHINGTON, Now 8. The Navy De partment has received mall advices "frona both sides of the Isthmus of Panama touching the revolutionary condition. From the west side Captain Perry, of the Iowa, reports from Panama, and on the Gulf side. Commander McCrea, on the Machlas, submits a report from Colon. These reports are important as throwing light on the political conditions there rather than as conveying news, of war like conditions.. They are ns follows: "United States Steamship Iowa, Pana ma. Colombia, Oct. 28, lC01.,-SIr: I havo the honor to report that all Is quiet and peaceful in and about Panama. The ac tivities reported in my letter last week on the part of the Insurgents and gov ernment forces quickly subsided and nothing whatever came of It. There are no Insurgent troops In the neighborhood of Panama City. The report that they had left Chorrera Is not believed now. In a word, the condition of affairs In Panama Is normal. Tumaco, near the Ecuadorian border, has fallen Into the hands of the insurgents. During the week the Chilean cruiser MInlstro Zon teno ai rived In Panama road with an envoy entraordinary on board, accredited to Ecuador and the Central American Republic. They remained two days and then sailed for Costa Rica. The French cruiser Protet remains the only man-of-war In the harbor besides the Iowa. The British gunboat Icarus is at Taboga. Very respectfully, THOMAS PERRY, "Captain United States Navy, Com manding United States Steamship Iowa." "United States Steamship Machlas, Colon, Republic of Colombia, Oct. 29, 1001. Sir: I have to report the usual quiet conditions prevailing In Colon and along the north coast of the Isthmus. The Colombian gunboat Plnzon made a round trip to Bocas del Toro during the week, touching at intermediate ports, and she reports all quiet to the west. I enclose papers showing to what miser able straits the local authorities have been reduced to raise funds, and am surprised that the steamship companies cannot agree to protest. If this path is once opened to collect the sinews of war and no protests are made, there Is no limit to the annoyance which will fol low and traffic over the railroad would be seriously Interfered with. This reso lution doubles the harbor duties, which are lumped together and called 'the com mercial contribution'; If meekly acqui esced In. steamship lines might be di verted "from running here, which would, of course. Injure the traffic on the rail road. The department has been informed as to the various ways by which the local authorities have raised funds, such as hypothecating all the duties from the Panama Railroad Company for six months to come, adding 20 per cent, and then doubling the customs duties on all articles and levying 'war faxes' or as? sessments on all solvent Colombians. These measures, if taken by the Republic of Colombia, and enforced throughout, would perhaps be justifiable as war measures. But when associated with the discontent almost amounting to revolt amongst the soldiers because of no pay, It looks as though the funds being raised are for some other purpose than sup pressing the revolution. "HENRY M'CREA, "Lieutenant-Commander, United States Navy, Commanding." The enclosures to which Commander McCrea refers are as follows: "Panama Railroad Company, Colon, Oct. 26, 190L Captain Henry McCrea, Commanding United States Steamship Machlas, Colon. Dear Sir: In compli ance with your request of even date, I enclose you herewith a copy and Eng lish translation of a letter to steamship agents here from the provincial treasur er here in connection with the decree of the civil and military chief of the De parment of Panama, relating to the com mercial contributions of steamship com panies. This decree affects all lines of steamers calling at this port (and at the Port of Panama.) As most of them have agencies (for passenger and freight) at Panama it means doubling the contri bution of each Atlantic lino to both ter minals. The terms heretofore have been 5100 sliver per month for each terminal for every steamship line having more than two arrivals at Colon per month. It goes without saying that all steamship agents will .unite In protesting against this In crease, although they" will have to pay it for the present so as to get their clearance papers and, of course, our company will join in the protest, "H.

To the agents of the P. R. R. p. S. Line: By resolution (decision) of the civil and military chief of department No. 258, dated 23d Inst, there has been increased to double the amount the commercial contributions to which the steamship companies are sub jected on account of the arrival of same at the ports of the department. Which fact I beg to communicate to you for your information and other purposes. "ANSELMO MUSKUS." The State Department Is In receipt of a dispatch dated October 23 from the United States Consul-General at Panama, reporting that in the capture of Tumaco, south of Panama, about 500 miles, the Liberals took about 500 prisoners and captured five or six cannon, many rifles, a quantity of ammunition and one small ship, the Galntan. The State Department received a mes sage from President Scrlmsen, of the cable company, which, connects at Colon, denying the reported capture of Panama and saying that his information from that place represents no change in the situa tion. There aro about 1000 insurgents within 15 miles of Panama. The State De partment, In view of the continued re ports of Insurgent movements near Pan ama, through Its Consul on the Isthmus ha3 taken steps to warn the public that under no condition shall there be Inter ference with traffic across the isthmus. Too Much Explosive. DELAVAN. Wis., Nov. 8. A bold at. tempt was made early today to rob the Farmers' State Bank, at Darien, Wis. The robbers, three In number, were foiled because of an overcharge of nltro-glycer-lne, which made a tremendous noise in ex ploding, awakening the people of the vil lage.

Judge Ghetlain to day refused to grant a temporary re straining order against the International Association of Machinists as prayed for by Robert Tarrant, a machinery manu facturer. The court said that Mr. Tar rant would have to show that the pickets were using force against nonunion men before he could enjoin the strikers. COMMERCE OF THE WORLD Measurement ot That of the Leading Countries. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. An accurate measurement of the commerce of the prin cipal countries of the world at the pres ent time Is afforded by some figures, pub lished by the Treasury Bureau of Statis tics in the September number of the Monthly Summary of Commerce and Fi nance. The statement 1b in the form of a table showing the commerce of 30 leading countries of the world during such part of the fiscal year of each of the countries as is available from their latest official re ports. Owing to the fact that hte fiscal years of the countries differ In their dates of termination, the statement Is in some cases for a six months' period, In other cases for eight, and In other cases for U or 12 months. In order to- furnish a basis for comparison, of the volume of the commerce of the various countries the Bureau of Statistics gives the average monthly import and export during the part of the fiscal year covered in the statement for each of the 30 countries In question. This statement of the average monthly value of the imports and exports of the 30 countries furnishes a fair basis of com parison of the commerce of the countries one with another, and an. opportunity to compare the imports with the exports, and thus determine whether the excess, or "balance of trade," Is on the import or ex port side. An examination of the full list of coun tries shows that in two-thirds of the num ber the Imports exceed the exports, and that In one-third of the number the ex ports are greater than the Imports. The countries which show an excess of ex ports over Imports are: Argentina, Austria-Hungary. Brazil, Chile, British In dia, Mexico, Roumanla, European Russia, the United States and Uraguay. The countries showing an excess of Imports over exports are: Belgium, Canada, Cape of Good ,Hope, China, Cuba, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, the Philip pine Islands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

Asiatics Must Be Kept Out, Sayn a Correspondent. CORVALLIS, Or.TNov. s! (To the Edi tor.) As there Is so much being said pro and con concerning the re-enactment of the Geary law, known as the "Chinese exclusion act," I wish to add my strong approval of your editorial favoring Its re enactment. There are probably hundreds of reasons why this law should be ex tended while there can, In reality, not be a single good cause shown why It should not be. The principle causes which gnvo rise to the necessity for- this law originated In California, and Inclaentally In Oregon and Washington, I believe, when these people were simply flooding the state to tho great detriment of the labor ing ;people as well as to society. The same causes exlat today as existed ten years ago. The conditions arc the tame, If not worse. There aro possibly many thousands more Chinese on this Coast now than there were ten years ago, and thousands of Japanese and other Asiatics are coming thick and fast, until they are sapping the life-blood of white labor. Everyone at all familiar with the condi tions in California (I use that state as a basis because I formerly lived there and know the sad conditions existing there), will agree with me that It Is almost Im possible for a poor white man or woman or American to obtain a day's work or Job of any kind where th'ere Is a China man or Jap to be had. And they are al ways In sight If an honest white laborer Is employed at all he must place himself upon a level with the low grade of for eigners, and work for the same price, us ually about 50 cents per day, and board himself. It is estimated that there are 100,000 unemployed white people In Cali fornia. All the large fruit ranches, farms and vineyards; most all hotels and restaurants, sugar plantations and sources of employ ment are being run" with Chinese and Japanese laborers in place of Americans. It Is the wealthy ranchers and corpor ations, and not the great body of people, who are clamoring for the suspension of the "exclusion act," or for the open door policy for the Introduction of more for eigners to the detriment of our own Amer ican laborers. Let the people of Oregon and Washing ton unite and heartily co-operate with the masses of California in demanding the re-enactment of the "exclusion act," and let It be broad enough and deep enough to Include all kinds of Asiatic paupers, and make It more stringent, If possible, than the present law. It should be made a heavy penalty for any corporation or steamship company transporting or smug gling Into, or landing on American soli, or In any port, any Chinaman or Japanese, or other foreign pauper laborer In viola tion of law, and may the watchword be "American labor for American laborers." F. P. MORGAN. e Japanese and Their Shirt Collars. Chambers' Journal. The increase of stature among the Jap anese Is very perceptible; and the substi tution of tepid and even cold water Tor the hot baths among many of the people Is responsible for an Increasing floridlty of the complexion. Before tho advent of mil itary discipline on European models the Japanese were notable as the Emaliest necked race in the world, a firm of London collar-makers with a large trade to Japan asserting that 13 Inches was the normal circumference of a full-grown Japanese s throat. In a little over 20 years, owing to more athletic development, the average has risen an Inch and a half. To athletic development should also be added greater avoirdupois, inasmuch as a more generous diet and abstentation from parboiling :f bringing Its reward In an accumulation ot muscle and tlcsue. Some of tho wooden churches of Norway arc fully 700 years old, and are still in an excel lent state of preservation. Their timbers have successfully resisted the frosty and almost Arctic Winters because they have been repeat edly coated with tar. DESPERADO IDENTIFIED ST. LOUIS SUSPECT PROVES TO SB HARRY LONGBAUGH. He May Be Prosecuted There on Charge of Forffery or Passing Forged Bank Notes. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 8. John Rose, sus pected of the robbery of an express car on the Great Northern Railway near Wagner, Mont, July 3 last, and who was arrested In this city by detectives Tues day, was today Identified as Harry Long baugh, a celebrated Western desperado. The Identification was made by a St. Lous man, who desires his name, withheld from publication. He was prosecuting attor ney for Cook County, Wyoming, In 1887, and prosecuted Longbaugh In that year on a charge of horsestealing. Longbaugh was convicted and sentenced to IS months in Jail. The ex-prosecutlng attorney de scribed to Chief Desmond the distinguish ing marks of the Longbaugh of 1SS7 and as these are all found on the, prisoner, he is satisfied, that he has the bandit properly identified. Chief Desmond said tonight that he would, If necessary, send for one of the officers of Wagner, Mont., at the department's expense, to come here and Identify Longbaugh. "We can prosecute him here. If neces sary," said the Chief, "either In the Fed eral Court on a cha'rge of forgery or In tho state courts onv a charge of uttering a fraudulent Instrument In this way we are bure to be able to hold him here until we can thoroughly Investigate his rec ord." THOMPSON WILL BE ARRESTED. Snrety Companies Will Make Up the Shortage of the Maccabce Official. PORT HURON, Mich., Nov. 8. It now transpires that the Fidelity & Deposit Company, of Maryland, which carried the bond of Charles D. Thompson, the self confessed defaulting supreme finance keeper of the tent of the Knights of the Maccabees', although being released last July, Is still liable for any loss which the order may have sustained by the de.. falcatlon. Representatives of the com pany. It Is eald, have Informed Maccabee officials that the loss will bo pald. There fore, It is now probable that Tiompson will be arrested tomorrow. This was Indi cated tonight from a talk with officials of tho order, and the arrest will come as a result of a conference between the trustees of the order and representatives of the bonding company. The heaviest loss, It Is said, falls upon the Maryland Fidelity Company, as Thompson's defal cations since August, when the National Surety Company assumed the risk, were comparatively small. It was announced today that Thompson's shortage was 160,000, instead of $57,000. All data con cerning the embezzlement are In the hands of the bond companies, and orders are being awaited from headquarters. The most important matter for consideration before the trustees was the selection of a successor for Thompson, but no successor was announced. Held Up a Gambllngr-House. PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 8.-One bandit killed and one wounded was the result of an. attempt by three masked rob bers to hold up the gambling-house of Deel & Co., last night at Maco, a small but tough Arizona border town. The dead bandit has been identified as Will Cravens, of Dog Springs, N. M. He was a cow puncher, with a fair record, and a member of a wealthy and re spectable New Mexico family. Cravens approached the roulette table and pro ceeded to fill a bag with the bank roll, amounting to several thousand dollars. 'E. P Ellis whipped out a revolver, be fore the movement was detected by the robbers, and Cravens fell dead when he shot. The other bandits were de moralized and fled in disorder.

In your editorial of this morning, headed "Theft- Awful Punishment," and referring to the great Democratic loss of repre sentation In the United States Senate, you say that "every one of these men has been sacrificed on the silver Baal, either because he would not swear to a He or else becauso silver drove his party from power." Are you noi laboring under a very grave goldbug hallucination? If devotion to the use of sliver as standard money provokes defeat, where would the Republican party Itself be, which In Its National platform of 18S3 declared that "the Republican party Is In favor of the use of both gold and sliver as money, and condemns the policy of the Democratic Administration In Its efforts to demon etize sliver"? Here, perhaps, with this question for you to answer, I might stop, but I would like to call attention to some very Important facts presented by United States Treasurer Roberts in his report of October 31, in which he gives during the of gold , $88,000,000 Increase of sliver 37,000,000 Increase of notes and certificates (nearly) .. 16.000,000 Shipment from Treasury of stand ard silver dollars 3S,38S,o;9 In tho report he also mentions the very remarkable fact that during the year there was also shipped from the Treasury In even exchange for gold, the sliver being preferred In order to move crops, stand ard silver dollars To New Orleans $2,250,000 To New York 2,215,000 The people of the whole Nation should give credit to the Republican party for recognizing silver as standard moneyt and for coining the Treasury silver bullion Into standard sliver dollars. The wisdom of that policy has been vindicated by the increase in National prosperity resulting from an Increase In the volume of sound gold and sliver standard money. X. The Republican party was weak on sil ver, as welj as the Democratic, the differ ence being apparently that It could aban don an error, while the Democrats could not. The correspondent's Impression tht recent legislation Is In the direction v.. the silver standard Is diverting, perhaps, but not of great significance. Old A'nmoi tor Guns. Gentleman's Magar ne.
