Teams "Were ca the Alley Winner of Lat Tiro Weeks Fell Down Zeller Hade High. Score. Ball's team -won the medals In the week ly bowling tournament at the Multnomah Club. Seven teams contested on Monday and Tuesday evenings. The scratch men, who had but to capture the medals this week In order to keep them, fell "way back and sat down." Bailey was unable to bowl, and Craft was out of town, so Slgler and Mallory were the only scratch men In the team. Neither of these men did very good work. Brlgham's team made things lively In Its last game, and pulled out at the top of the list for the Monday nlghters. Oliver made a single game score of 65, the high est of the evening. Holmes had his men bowl on Monday night, Instead of Tues day, and finished In second place. In the Tuesday night games Ball's team pulled out on top, taking the medals from Brlgham's men by 24 pins. Zeller tied Oliver's single game score of 65, and fin ished with a total of 210, tho highest of the tournament. Pickering was a little shy of bowlers, and substituted Frank Dunne and Harry Montgomery In his team. When asked why he had taken "Commodore" Montgomery, "Pick" said he needed a man to reef in the topsails. From the size of his score, It looks as If the "Commodore" took a double reef In his total.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19. Thomas H. Williams, Jr., president of the new California Jockey Club, Is about to try an experiment In preparing horses for the track. The well - known horseman is a believer In the theory that horses should not be put on the track until they have reached their maturity. He believes tnat 2-year-olds are neither strong nor wise enough to do themselves justice.- Mr. Williams intends buying a number of yearlings and colts and sending them to Oregon. It Is his Intention to allow the horses to browse on the bunchgrass and gain strength roaming over the country. He will not permit them to grow wild, nor will he have them trained. He will sim ply have them ridden from time to time for the purpose of accustoming' them to the work - they will have to do on the track, where, he Is confident, they will demonstrate the correctness of his theory.

Reasons for' Avrarding the Contract to nn English Firm. NEW YORK, Nov. 20. George Ward, first vice-president of the Commercial Cable-Company, said. In an Interview, when asked why the contract for a Pacific ca ble had not been awarded to an American company: "The Commercial Pacific Cable Com pany would have been very happy to give an American company Its contracts, but there is no company in the United States that could, we felt, perform the work. They have not the machinery, and could not afford to have the work of laying the cable take the form of an experiment The Silvertown Company has been established o ooei9 Henry Fournier and His .Automobile.

The distance Is 745 miles, and the actual runnlns: time was 17.0394 hours, an average, of 43.00 miles per hour. Fournler says he will be able next year to mako a mile in 32 seconds. BMMtIOM 00000t. - for over 50 years, and has laid most of the deep-ocean cables throughout the worW. so that It understands perfectly Just how the work should be accomplished. "The company has assured us that- It will complete the cablo and have It here in seven months. Just as soon as this sec- tlon, extending to the Sandwldh, Islands, Is complete and out of the way, we shall commence work on another section that will connect the Hawaiian Islands with the Philippines. Our station, there will probably be on the Island of Luzon near or In Manila. We have not decided on that point yet, nor have we fixed our schedule of rates, but I may say. In speak ing of rates, that we shall reduce them to a reasonable figure. We expect to have the work completed In about two or three years. The estimated cost of the under taking Is about 515,000,000, but we have capitalized our company at only $3,000,000, because we prefer to Increase capitaliza tion as we proceed rather than use such a large figure at the beginning." Mr. Ward said it was expected that the new cable would allow of the transmission of messages in nearly four hours' less time than required at present. Englishmen Get Cable Contract. LONDON, Nov. 19. The Commercial Pa cific Cable Company, recently organized In New York to lay a cable from San Francisco to the Philippines, has awarded the contract for the manufacture and lay ing of the first section from San Fran cisco to Honolulu to an English company, which guarantees to complete It In 10 months. The contract price Is nearly $000,000. INVERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS Eleven Millions in Excess of Esti mates of Past Year. WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.

FREE MISS STONE DICKINSON HAS LOCATED HER AND ASKS FOR TROOPS. The- Missionary Captives Are in a Mountain Deflle Near Dnbnitza, in ' Western Bulgaria SOFIA, Nov. 19. It is reported that Mr. Dickinson, the United-States diplomatic agent here, has Informed the Government of Bulgaria that the abductors of Miss Ellen M. -Stone and Madame Tsllka, with their captives, are concealed in a deflle of the Bellterza Mountains, near Dab nltza, In Smotch district, and requested that troops be sent to -surround the place and liberate the captives. Both Mr. Dick inson and the Bulgarian Foreign Office decline to confirm or deny this report. Nevertheless, It is believed that Mr. Dick Inson, persuaded of the impossibility of coming to terms with the brigands, and relying upon his belief that they will ndt harm their daptives if troops are enmloved 'against them, has. after cdnsultinsr with "Washingtbn, decided upon this move. Only eignt oanmts how guard Miss Stone and some of these are known to sympathize With her. About a fortnight, ago Mr. Dickinson approached the Foreign Office and proposed this same plan, but its car rying out was abandoned because of tho uncertainty of the location of the bandits. FRANCE'S CHINA WAR LOAN. Premier's Speech in Chamber of liep nties May Carry the Bill. PARIS, Nov. 19. The Chamber of Depu ties today continued tho discussion of the bill authorizing the loan of 265.000,000 francs to reimburse the treasury for lta outlay In connection with the Chinese expedition, .and the indemnification' of French sufferers In China. M. Callleaux, Minister of Finance, defended and ex plained the government's plan. M. Semdt asked that the report of General Voyron, regarding military operations In .China, be submitted to the budget committee, In order that the committee might know the facts "with reference to the disorders and pillage attributed to the French troops. M. Waldeck-Rousseau, the Premier, made a forcible reply, defending the pol icy of France in protecting French mis sionaries in China. With reference to General "Voyron's report, he said that, as France was not alone In China, portions of the report had been marked confidential and would never be published. The Pre mier's speech produced a great effect In the Chamber, and will probably result In carrying the government's scheme prac tically unchanged. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. Changes Jn ihe Rules That Would Overcome Obstruction. LONDON, Nov. 19. It is understood that the British Government intends to pro pose a reform of the procedure of Parlia ment (t0 overcome obstruction. The scheme will suggest that the House as semble at 2:30 P. M., instead of 4; that Government business be taken up first, that an adjournment from 7:30 until 9 be taken for dinner, that questions then be taken-up and business be carried on until midnight. Under the existing system Sjestions form the first business of the ouso of Commons, and give rise to much obstruction. Under the new scheme dis orderly members would be more sternly punished for the first offense and suspend ed for a month, with Increasing punishment ror renewed offense's, and offenders would be compelled to apologize before being permitted to return to Parliament. Russia's Hold on the East. NEW YORK, Nov. 19. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The special correspondent of the Dally News In Vladlvostock has discovered that there Is no English Consul there. So he called upon the American representative, Theodore Greener, whose position Is that of commercial agent for the United States. Mr. Greener Informed him that besides America, France, Germany, Holland and Japan were commercially represented. Americans and Germans, he went on to say, had most of the trade. "No man," writes the correspondent, "can come through Siberia to such a place as Vladlvostock and give thought to what Russia has done In a generation without being amazed. England may criticise Russian manners and growl at Russian diplomacy and wonder how people can live under an autocratic government, but Rus sia has laid hold of the East." Conditions in Natal.' NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Mail advices from Natal to the London, Times and New York Times say the problem In South Africa Is a complicated one and cannot be grasped by reading the newspapers. The correspondent says the British must be made to understand that they have to deal with a peculiar people, whose very elementary education has been directed by their unscrupulous and ambitious lead ers to imbuing them with the belief that, as the chosen of God, they are called to the dominion of South Africa. They, are taught that the amaleklte Britisher, is to be driven into the sea, leaving them the blacks as their hewera of wood and draw ers of water, as in the days of the great trek. In Natal, says the correspondent, the people are either thoroughly loyal or thorough rebels, but in Cape Colony thou sands of Afrikanders are on the fence. There has been too much sentimental humbug, declares the correspondent. He Insists that the inhabitants must be thor oughly "smashed," and made to feel that they are "smashed," for the sake of the future quiet of South Africa. Then will be the time for the British to be gener ous. After peace comes the burghers can be handled easily, if the scales of justice are evenly held. German Shipbuilding: Situation, BERLIN, Nov. 19. Emperor William to day again atttended the meeting at Char lottenburg of the Society of Naval Engi neers. His majesty exhibited great In terest, especially applauding the remarks of Herr Mayer, a shipbuilder of Papen burg, who explained-how, in his opinion, foreign shipbuilding competition, especial ly American competition, could best be circumvented. Herr Mayer deprecated the constantly Increasing number of, yards, Insisting that attention should rather be devoted to enlarging and perfecting the existing establishments. He held that a portion of the yearly profits should be employed In' obtaining the services of specially trained and skilled workmen. Once this is "attained, said Herr Mayer, the Germans could contemplate foreign competition and look upon the "American cpecter," with perfect equanimity, for "the Germans would be found to be vic tors." Rellsrious Liberty in France. NEW YORK,' Nov. 19. The Parts cor respondent of the London Times and New York Times points out that the proceed ing of the congress at Ulle have opened the eyes of foreign observers who had ex aggerated the practical importance of M. Waldeck-Rousseau's law of associations. The Jesuits are either returning or aro already back In France, while, If the As sumptlonlsts have 'really received- a se vere blow. ,thelr propaganda, through sec ular Instruments, Is not seriously. compro mised. The new law really strengthens such orders as secure authorization. Holleben Does Not Bring: a Treaty. BERLIN, Nov. 19. In official circles the correctness of a Washington dispatch to the London Globe, to the effect that Dr. Von Holleben, German Ambassador at Washington, who recently sailed for the United States, carried with him a com pleted commercial treaty with that coun try, Is denied, as the German tariff has not yet been finally determined. German officials consider that the prospects for the final successful negotiation of this commercial treaty with Washington have never been better than they are today. Dr. Von Holleben's recent utterances con cerning Emperor William's attitude to ward the United States have been widely reprinted In Germany and have received many favorable comments. Laden With Contraband for Boers. LONDON," Nov. .19. The Government has caused the detention of a British steamer which was fitting out ostensibly for a pleasure cruise, at Victoria docks, on the ground that the vessel was laden with contraband of war destined for the Boers. A searchlight fixed to the steamer's mast brought her under suspicion, and It is said a subsequent search disclosed four field guns and quantities of raw material for the manufacture of gunpowder, and that the vessel was fitted Inside to ac commodate from 500 to 600 men. The cap tain of tho steamer says his Instructions from his employers directed him to call at Hamburg after leaving the Thames. Student Riots in Spain. MADRID, Nov. 20. Students' riots have begun in Madrid. Yesterday the .tram ways were attacked, and attempts were made to set the cars on fire. Over 20 per sons were injured, Including the son of a high official of the Ministry of the In terior. Student disorders are also report ed In Barcelona and Valencia. In the Senate several Senators referred to the serious nature of the student dlsurbances, and the Minister of Education replied that the government was resolved upon acting with the greatest energy. Reform for Austrian Exchanges. VIENNA, Nov. 19. The Government in troduced the long-expected produce ex change reform bill in the Reichstag today. The bill does not prohibit dealing in fu tures In grain, but provides for a strict state supervision for the purpose of check ing tho unlawful use of tho rules relating to futures. Quotations are to be made by sworn officials. Fictitious transactions with the object of affecting prices will be classed as felonious. Gambling beyond certain limits is prohibited. Decision Against Welsh Unions. LONDON, Nov. 19. In the 15 test cases brought by the Coal Owners' Association against individual leaders of the miners' organization, growing out of the union's action in stopping work last October, the WelBh Magistrates at Aberdare awarded small damages to the employers. The court held that workmen, though giving notice of Intention, have no right to stop work with the object of restricting pro duction. Antl-Chamberlaln Meetings. BERLIN, Nov. 19. The anti-Chamber-laln movement In Germany Is spreading. The Society of Veterans of Berlin today held a largo and enthusiastic meeting, in which the utterances of Mr. Chamberlain at Edinburgh were heartily denounced. Other soldiers' anti-Chamberlain meetings are to be held at various cities throughout the Empire Recalled to Ottawa. OTTAWA, OnL, Nov. 19. Hon. Dr. Bor den, Minister of Mllltla, has been called home from Boston, where he was on pri vate business, on account of cables which are passing between the Dominion Govern ment and Great Britain in regard to send ing more troops to South Africa. Nothing will be known until the Premier returns and the Cabinet meets tomorrow. Eight Hundred Plague Cases. NORFOLJC, Va., Nov. 19. The British steamer Monmouth, Captain Troop, which arrived here direct from Cape Town, South Africa, reports the existence of over 800 cases of bubonic plague in the vicinity of Cape Town when she left that port. Up to tho time she sailed some 380 deaths from the plague had occurred. Darmstadt Gymnasium Burned. DARMSTADT, Nov. 1L The great building erected by the Darmstadt Gym nastic Society, which was opened with great ceremony October 6 by the Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig, was destroyed by fire this morning. Four servants em ployed about the building were burned to death. Would Prolong Treaties. NEW YORK, Nov. 19. The Perseveran za, of Milan, quoted in a dispatch to the London Times and New York Times from Rome, publishes an article which Is be-, lleved to represent ex-Mlnister Luzzatti's views. It advocates that the Continental commercial treaties be prolonged for a year and revised, not denounced. The article says It would be wise to await rec iprocity proposals from the United States before plunging half of Europe in a tariff war. Equalizers Restrained. CHICAGO, Nov. 19. Judge Grosscup, of the United States District Court, Issued an ex-parte injunction today restraining the State Board of Equalization .from as- sesslng the franchises of the Union Trac-" tion and Chicago Consolidated Traction Companies. This step was taken by tho Thousands of Women Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It i To Prove What the Great Reader of The TO READERS OF THE OREGONIAN: "About 18 months ago I had a very severe spell of sickness. I was extremely sick fer three weeks, and when I finally was able to leave my bed I was left- with excruciating pain in my back. My water at times looked very like coffee. I could pass but little at a time, and then only after suffering great pain. My physical condition was such that I had no strength 'and was all run down. The doctors said my kidneys were not affected, and while I Did Not Know I Had Kidney Trouble, I somehow felt certain that my kidneys were the cause of my trouble. My sister, Mrs. C. E. Llttlefleld, of Lynn, advised me to give Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root a trial. I procured a bot tle, and inside of three days commenced to get relief. I followed up that bottle with anoth er, and at the completion of this one found I was completely cured. My streng'th returned, and today I am as- well as ever. My business is that of canvasser. I am on my feet a great deal of trie time, and have to use much energy la getting around. My cure is therefore all the mote remarkable, and Is exceedingly gratlfylng'.to me." 117 High Rock St. Lynn.

So says Mrs. Mary Engolhard, of 2S35 Madison street, St. Louis, Mo., to a re porter of 'the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "For more than ten years I suffered with what the doctors termed female trouble; also heart trouble, with swelling of the feet and limbs. Last Summer J felt so badly that I thought I had not long to live. I consulted doc tor after doctor and took their medicines, but felt no better. A friend recommended me to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and 1 must say I derived Immense benefit almost from the first week. I continued the medicine, taking it reg ularly, and I am now in splendid health. The pains and aches have all gone. I have recom mended Swamp-Root to all my friends, and told them what It has done for me. I will gladly answer any one who desires to write me regarding my case. I most heartily indorse Swamp-Root from every standpoint. There is such a pleasant taste to Swamp-Root, and it goes' right to the weak spots and drives them out of the system."

AN ASTRONOMICAL DISCOVERY Jferkes Observer Finds Proot of the Nebular Theory. CHICAGO, Nov. 20. Professor G. W. Rltchey, of Yerkes Observatory, is re ported to have made a discovery In as 'tronomy which will make himself and the observatory famous. The discovery In brief is the proof of what Is known as the nebular theory, and Professor Rltchey appears to have reduced to a matter of certainty what has heretofore been merely a brilliant hypothesis. It Is claimed that he has done this in obtaining photo graphic evidence of evolution among the planetary bodies. Professor Rltchey's observations. It is claimed, not only prove the truth of the celebrated nebular theory of creation an nounced by the famous Frenchman, Ta Place, and of the widely entertained be lief that the solar system, and even star clusters, have been formed by millions of years of slow evolution from great bodies of gaseous matter floating In the incon ceivable abysses of space, but also prove that a nebula, with a star for a nucleus, hinges Its shape and the quantity of light It emits 'and that these changes are so rapid as to .be observable within the compass of a few hours. Astronomers have long believed that the nebulae were the matrices of solar systems and star clusters like our own, but no observer had been able to see the slightest sign of change In the structure. This has now been done by Professor Rltchey, who Is busily engaged in prepar ing for the technical journals an an nouncement of his discovery. The celestial object upon which Pro fessor Rltchey had made his observations Is the mysterious star Nova, of Perseus, which suddenly appeared last February In the northern sky. Its light rapidly in creased until It became a star of the flrst magnitude. Then It gradually faded away until now it is only of the sixth magni tude. At present. It is altogether invisi ble to the unaided vision. On the night of September 20, Professor Rltchey pho tographed Nova of Perseus by means of the 24-Inch reflector at the observatory. The negative disclosed the fact that tho star was surrounded by a nebulae, a fact which had not previously been shown by another obberver. But on tho plate made by Professor Rltchey after an exposure of three hours and 50 minutes, there were two fairly dense wisps of nebulosity to ward the west, with a curve to the north, merging Into the convolutions of the neb-, ulae. This was a startling fact, but Pro fessor Rltchey waited patiently for a fa- vorable night to secure another negative." The opportunity came last Wednesday night, November 13, when for several hours Professor Rltchey exposed his plate to the light of the mysterious star. When he looked at the negative he observed a fact In which he recognized the proof so long sought and so ardently wished for by observers everywhere. The spots or density in the west field of the nebulae had moved.

L.I Hung Chang and Grent Men "Who Were Like Him. PORTLAND, Nov. 18. (To the Editor.) Surely history repeats Itself. The re cent death of the great Chinese states man, L.1 Hung Chang, under circum stances very peculiar, leads one, especially if they are fond of historical analogy, to point out parallel cases of this kind. Per haps the case the nearest that of Chang is the Emperor Valentine I, of the Eastern Empire, from 364 to 375 A. D. While giv ing audience to an embassy of the Quadl at Bregetlo on the Danube near the pres ent City of Pressburg, the terms of peace proposed by and Insisted on by the bar barians were so distasteful to the Emperor and the embassy so Insolent In their de mands that Valentine in his rage fell dead whether from apoplexy, heart failure, a ruptured blood vessel, or what particular cause we are unable at this period to determine. So many illustrious (so called) rulers have met death in this way, more probably than history records. The dominions ruled by the conquerors or Inheriters of the earth they seem to regard as their personal and private prop erty, and whether It is the Pannonlan sol dier of fortune elevated to the throne of the Roman Empire by both fortune and merit, or the sickly apology of man lnher lter of disease and empire through acci dent, In either case they regard them selves as sole and only owner of the countries which admit their vain preten sions to empire. Napoleon's reply to Met ternlch at Dresden, In their famous Inter view, on being told that his soldiers were not men, but children, was: "You are no soldier, you dp not know what passes in a soldier's mind; I grew up In the field, and a man like me troubles himself little about the lives of a million men." This language stamps the character of Napol eon as mean, low and contemptible, and if'hls heart were great." as Shake speare's typical coward and braggart says, " 'twould break at this." The semi-historical account of Corlolanus, whose mag nificent anger on any slight occasion ex hibited itself In spite of danger to him self and friends, seems of a nature bor dering on apoplexy. But the latter char acter had youth and strength and good health to stead him in adversity. From Jornandes we learn that the King of the Huns died in much the same man ner, though the circumstances causing the excitement were different. Natures of this kind seem to generate fatal results on the slightest occasions. The story of the English poet Cowper, who seriously thought of throwing himself into the Thames rather than face the assembled Parliament as reader, to which position he was assigned, is partial evidence that genius and dementia are not so very rar apart. Age and a stirring life Ulled with all the diplomatic intrigues known from the time and example of Esau and Jacob down to our own days have made the masters of the world as treacherous, de ceptive and double-dealing with their fel lows as any of the baser sort. Perhaps It is better for the Oriental sage that his death occurred before rather than af ter the .dismemberment of the Chinese Empire. "The rugged Russian bear" ere many decades will have assumed military authority and political rule over the en tire Chinese nation, and it Is much better that the aged diplomat leaves his country presumably intact and entire, like Mr. Gladstone, than to live to see Its several provinces overrun and Its Inhabitants sub jects of tribute to their Western con querors. Blessed and fortunate are tno statesmen who die anticipating their country's ruin, either by Bears or Boers. N. P. J. FOLEN. William H. Patterson. NEW YORK. Nov. 19. William Henry Patterson is dead at the New York Hos-! pltal, where Tie had been ill with typhoid I fever for some time. He was a well- I known member of the New York bar. Mr. ' Patterson was graduated from the Uni versity of Pennsylvania In 1876, and from the law school of the university two years later, fie began the study of law I with X C. Bullitt, and engaged in prac- tice In Philadelphia until 18S6. when he ' removed to St. Paul. In 1895 he returned Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Troubles. It used to be considered that only uri nary and bladder troubles were to bo traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood that is their work. So when your kidneys are weak or out of order you can under stand how quickly your entire body is af fected, and how every organ seoma to fail to do- its duty. If you are sick or "feel badly," begin taking the famous new discovery, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince any one. Mnny women suffer untold misery becaufic the nature of their disease Is not correctly understood; In most cases -they are led to believe that womb'trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for their many ills, when in fact disordered kidneys are the chief cause of their distressing: troubles. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy; or dark circles under the eyes, rheuma tism, a dragging pain or dull ache in tho back, weakness or bearing down sensa tion, profuse or scanty supply of urine, with strong odor, frequent desire to pass It night or day, with scalding or burning sensation these are all unmlstakablo signs of kidney and -bladder trouble. If there is any doubt in your mind as to your condition, take from your urino on rising about four ounces, place it In a glass or bottle and let It stand twenty four hours. If on examination it is milky or cloudy. If there is a briok, dust settling, or if small particles float about In it, your kidneys are In need of Imme diate attention. Other symptoms showing , that you need Swamp-Root are sleeplessness, dizzi ness. Irregular heart. breathlaseness, sallow, unhealthy complexion, plenty of ambition but no strength. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take .and is used in the leading .hospitals, recommend ed by physicians in, their private practice, and is taken by doctors themselves, be cause they recognize in it the greatest and most successful remedy that science has ever been able to compound. If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root is .what you need, you can purchase the regular fifty-cent and ono dollar bottles at the drug stores every where.
