ments. August "V. Buelow, at Napoleon-
vine, ana Thomas R. Morse at New Ibe
ria, are significant, as recognizing Na
tional Committeeman L. S. Clark for the
first time In the Presidential postoffice
patronage instead of the Wlmberley ele
ment, as heretofore. The entire Demo
cratic delegation backed the Wlmberley
Republican candidates in fighting the
Clark men. The Wlmberley faction, how
ever, Indorsed the New Orleans appoint
ment. Spokane, Wash., Is the home of Senator
Turner, who urged the retention of the
present postmaster there, George W.
Temple, whose term has just expired.

New Mexico Appointment.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. Delegate
Rodey and Solomon Luna, Republican Na
tional committeeman from New Mexico,
had a conference with the President to
day about appointments In that terri
tory. As a result, the President, It was

incumbent; Register of the Land Office at
Santa Fe, Manuel R. Otero, the Incum
bent; Register of the Land Office at Ros
weir, Howard Leland.
INCREASE IN POPULATION.
Percentage In Different Parts of the
Country in Last Decade.
WASHINGTON? Jan. 13. The Director
of the Census announced today the per
centage of increase of population In dif
ferent parts of the country, showing for
the last decade a rapid decrease from pre
vious rate of growth of population in
the West, a less marked but decided de
crease In the North, and a slight Increase
in the South. For the first time In the
history of this country, the population
of the South has Increased somewhat
more rapidly than that of the North. The
East, geographically. Is Included In the
term North. The rate for the growth In
the North, West and South Is far more
nearly the same than It ever has been.
The official announcement divides the
country as follows: West, from the Pa
cific to the Eastern boundary of Mon
tana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mex
ico: North and South, the respective sides
of a line formed by the Ohio and Potomac
Rivers and the Southern boundaries of
Missouri and Kansas. The per cent of In
crease from 1SCO-80 was 61.9 in the North,
4SA In the South and 1S5.G In the West,
while in the last 20 years, 18S0-1900, it was
4S.7 in the North. 48.5 South and 131.5
West.
Prior to the Civil War, the Northern
States nearly doubled in population with
each 20 years, while in the Southern
States the increase of population was only
about two-thirds as great. Since 1S60, the
rate of growth in both parts of the coun
try has been much less, but while the rate
of growth In the North has decreased
steadily, that In the South during the 20
years from 1S50 to 18S0 has been slightly
lesr. During the last 20 years there has
been no substantial differences In the
rate ,of growth of the two sections. The
per cent of Increase of growth of these
regions during each of the last two 10
year periods follows: 18S0-1S9O, North,
24.8: South, 20.1; West, 71.3. 1S90-1900,
North. 19; South, 2.4; West, -31.9.
If the comparison Is limited to the
states east of the Mississippi River, class
ing Minnesota and Louisiana with the
Western States, the result Is slightly dif
ferent. It would show the increase to be:
1SS0-1S90, North 20.1, South 16; 1S90-1900,
North 19.9, South 17.7. When the Trans
Mississippi States are omitted, the rate
of growth in the North is slightly great
er than that In the South, but the pres
ent difference between the two sections
in this respect Is about half what It was
between 1SS0 and 1890, and less than one
seventh of what It was between 1S50 and
1860.
SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Victories for Southern Pacific and
State of Massachusetts.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. An opinion
was handed down In the United States

withdrawal was Illegal, and today's opin
ion sustained that decision.
Justice Gray, of the United States Su
preme Court, today delivered an opinion
in the case of Nutting vs. The Common
wealth of Massachusetts, Involving the
constitutionality of the state law of that
6tate prescribing penalties upon brokers
or others who negotiate or make con
tracts In the State of Massachusetts with
insurance companies which are not ad
mitted to do business in the state. Nut
ting secured a policy for a customer in
a foreign company and was proceeded
against under the law. He urged that

Federal Constitution, but the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts decided to the
contrary, and today's opinion upholds
that decision.

ernment and Closely Questioned.

charges growing out of the postoffice
frauds was resumed this afternoon. Rath
bone was called by the Government. The

pointment of Nealy and Reeves, to which
he replied that both men had been sent
him by the department at Washington.
He said that when Assistant Auditor J.
D. Lawshe turned over the office and the
postal accounts he highly recommended
Reeves
Much time was taken up discussing
the question as to whether Rathbone had
Issued an order to the Cuban Postmasters
to render month'y accounts. It was due
to thefact that the Postmasters had not
rendered accounts that Reeves was en
ahled to Issue many duplicate warrants,
most of which Reeves now says Neely
cashed, keeping the money. Rathbone
.maintained that orders for the Cuban
Postmasters to render monthly accounts
were Issued in June, 1899, and that these
orders were In the form of recommenda
tions to special agents that monthly ac
counts be carried. On these recommen
dations Rathbone says he wrote the
word "ordered," signing his name below
It The Government contends that the
word "ordered" was not written on the
recommendations when the irregularities
In the postoffice were discovered. Rath
bone produced letters written to his chief
clerk in May. 1900. calling the latter's at
tention to the fact that the order for
monthly Inspection had not been carried
out and asking for an explanation. The
fiscal asked Rathbone if it was not his
place to see that his orders were carried
out, as well as to issue them. To this,
the latter replied that with all the de
tails of the office. It was Impossible for
him to see that everything was done.

BERLIN,, Jan. 13. The Imperial Chan
cellor, Count von Bulow, replied In the
lower houseof the Diet today to the
interpellations relative to the Polish ques

DAVID L. MOOMAW, NOMINATED BY THE PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. The President today sent to the Senate the nomina
tion" of David L. Moomaw for Postmaster of Baker City. Or.
David L. Moomaw was born near Cloverdale. Botetourt County, Va.. In 1S43.
He went to Portland In 185S, and settled In the Willamette Valley. He taught
school at Oregon City from 1S59 to 1881. Thence he went to Northern Idaho on
a raining expedition, and In 1870 went to Baker County, and has resided there
ever since. He has been actively engaged In mining In Eastern Oregon for over
30 years. He served as Deputy United States Marshal for about 13 jears, and
one term as Ieputy Sheriff of Baker County. He never held an elective offlce,
but has always taken an active part In politics. For years he was one of the few
Republicans In Baker County, and always attended the state conventions as a del
egate. He was always willing to go, even when It required about three weeks to
make the Journey. It Is said that In the early days he frequently paid the en
tire campaign expenses of the Republican party. In this part of the state, out of
his own pocket. Ha married. In 18S5, Miss Emma Hembree, of Portland. The se
lection of Mr. Mooinaw seems to give general satisfaction. He Is highly respect
ed, and the general verdict of the people, regardless of party. Is that a faithful
party worker has received deserved recognition.
had been "exaggerated, and had been util
ized to plunge Germany Into Internecine
difficulties. What had occurred was the
fault of Polish agitation, and not of the
Prussian school system, which was the
same as had been, enforced In the bl-ling-ual
districts for the past 30 years, and
which was as little addicted to cruelty as
was the Prussian administration of jus
tice. Corporal punishment, the speaker
said, would hereafter be omitted during
religious instructions. No one prevented
the Poles from speaking Polish, but they
must also learn to speak German, and
participate In the German, work of civili
zation. Count von Bulow is regarded as having
handled the vexed Polish question, com
plicated as It is wlth bitter religious con
troversies, with much skill. His announce
ment that the government would desist
from the corporal punishment of Polish
children during religious instruction Is
accepted as eliminating the principal
weapon with which the agitators incite
the passions of the Poles. The Imperial
Chancellor startled the German section or
the Diet by offering documentary proofs,
collected by the government, that, while
the Polish population of the Province of
Posen was Increasing at the rate of 10
per cent, the German population of this
province Increased only at the rate of 3V
per cent. But, abstracting from the Ger
man Increase those persons who had Im
migrated to the province, the German
population of Posen had Increased only
1 per cent during a period of five years.
Priests Mnst Keep Hands Off.
"It Is absolutely necessary to protect
and promote German civilization In Po
sen," declared Count von Bulow, "and to
this end the priests must keep their
hands off." This declaration Is interpret
ed to mean that the representations at
the Vatican have not been wholly suc
cessful, 'and that the Prussian adminis
tration continues at variance with the lo
cal Catholic authorities.
Public expectation had been centered in
today's Interpellations in the Lower
House of the Diet, as likely to provoke
much feeling among the opponents of the
government. Although the House and the
galleries were crowded, the proceedings
were very calm. Count von Bulow drew
the admiration of his fearers by his
smooth and adroitly-worded periods. His
speech today was about three times the
ordinary length of the Chancellor's usual
deliverances. The Chancellor disclaimed
all desire to slight the Catholics, saying
the government's policy was neither Pro
testant nor Catholic, Just as -his policy
was neither Liberal nor Conservative.
"I know," added the Chancellor, "only
one policy, just as I know only one single,
individual nation. The questions at Issue
In the eastern provinces are not religious,
but national. Thanks to our protection,
there has arisen a community of Polish
citizens which has now taken up the
leadership of Polish agitation In a fanat
ical spirit, and which Is closely connected
with the Polish Colonization Commission.
Now that these national conflicts are
forced on us, only two possible courses
are opn, either to allow ourselves to be
vanquished without a struggle, or to pro
tect our skins. We cannot allow the roots
of Prussian strength to rot. The Polish
question Is the most Important before tho
nation, and on Its settlement depends the
development of the Immediate future of
our fatherland. Our policy Is unchange
able. If need be, we shall provide further
means to Improve the condition of the
German peasantry, promote industry and
establish garrisons. Wc hope to be able
to cope with the situation with existing
legislation. We entertain no doubt of
the loyalty of the members of this House,
but I beg the House to have no doubt
about the.disloyalty of the Polish agita
tion." The Chancellor concluded by assuring
the Geramns of East Prussia that the
government would not deviate In the
slightest from the track laid out by "that
greatest German," the late Prince Bis
marck. The remarks of the subsequent
message were unimportant.
HOT SHOT AT GERMAN PAPERS.
London Times "Waxes Hot Over Their
Anti-British Cartoons.
LONDON, Jan. 13. A remarkable arti
cle appears in today's Times under the
caption "Literature of German Anglo
phobia," recounting the character of the
antl-Brltlsh cartoons which have ap
peared In the German newspapers, whjch
the Times says, "in coarseness, obscenity
and venom are without a parallel In mod
ern times." The wisdom of the publica
tion of the article at this juncture is
much questioned. The Star says:
"The Times today of all nays begins a
series of articles on the offensive Ger
man caricatures. Every newspaper has
long been aware of these caricatures, but
the responsible journals have not adver
tised these Insults, simply because no
good could be done by setting the Brit
ish and German peoples by the ears. The

erately flogs the passions of the people.
Are our publicists dead? Cannot they see
the abyss towards which they are hound
ing this long-suffering .nation?" The
Times' article, which is two columns
long, says:
"These papers are not gutter sheets,
but are sold everywhere, at the stations
of the state railroads, even at Potsdam
station, where the Emperor Is constantly
traveling. He was finally obliged person
ally to order their removal. Never are
these papers anonymous. One of the most
Infamous of all, entitled 'The Boer War,'
bears on the title pages the names or
persons distinguished in the literary and
artistic world of Germany. From a purely
technical standpoint the paper is an art
production, but It Is difficult to find words
to convey a notion of the filth which Its
cultured artists and writers venture to
lay before Its cultured German readers.
British soldiers are represented as rob
bing the dead; Mr. Chamberlain's state
coach Is depicted as a cart laden with
skeletons, and King Edward is shown
dead drunk in his bedroom, receiving the
news of Cronje's surrender. But
the crowning piece is a cartoon
entitled 'Hero Worship.' The then Prin
cess of Wales, with Queen Victoria, the
Prince of Wales and the young Princess
by her side. Is decorating a youthful sol
dier. The legend underneath reads textu
ally: 'An English Princess decorating the
youngest soldier in the British Army with
the Victoria Cross, because although only
13 he has already outraged eight Boer
women.' This obscenity, sold In respecta
ble shops, was eagerly bought by the pub
lic and lies on fashionable drawing-room
tables."
Clause in Tariff Bill Adopted.
BERLIN, Jan. 13. The customs tariff
committee of the Reichstag today adopted
the clause In the proposed tariff bill pro
viding that exemptions from reductions
from duty shall apply to the products of
territories outside the German tariff
union, unless the exceptions are pre
scribed by the Federal Council. Provi
sion Is also made for the exemption on
products of German colonies, or depen
dencies, by decree of the Federal Coun
cil. Count von Posadowsky-Wehner, the
Imperial Secretary of State for the In
terior, in the course of the discussion,
said the government would strive Its ut
most to avoid a tariff war; but. should a
war arise. It was resolved to wage it by
every means at command. This, the Min
ister added, was the object of the clause
summarized above, which was only In

TO REOPEN SCHLEY CASE
CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE CALLS
UPON CONGRESS.
Resolutions Asking: It to Form Its
Otto Opinion Good Words for
Admiral Dewey.
CHICAGO, Jan. 13. Resolutions calling
upon Congress to reopen the Schley case
and make Its own decision as to who was
in command at the battle of Santiago
were passed by the Board of Trade at lta
annual meeting today. The vote was not
unanimous, but the roar of the "ayes"
was three times as loud as the roar of the
"noes," and the vocal vote went unchal
lenged as expressing the feeling of the
board. A brief but brisk discussion pre
ceded the adoption of the resolutions'. The
resolutions as passed are:
"Whereas, Efforts were made not only
to detract from the glory due to Rear
Admiral Schley for his signal victory over
the Spanish fleet off Santiago, but to de
nounce his victorious plans of battle on
that occasion, and to charge that gallant
and generous officer with cowardice In the
face of the enemy; and
"Whereas, Such efforts were so persist
ent that Admiral Schley was forced, out
of self-respect, to demand a court of In
quiry by the Government: and
"Whereas, Though the verdict of that
court of inquiry left no stain upon his
reputation as a gallant and brave officer,
yet two members of that tribunal de
nounced his conduct of that battle. In
spite of the fact, that a glorious victory
was won, and denied that he was chief in
command; and
"Whereas, Our great Admiral, George
Dewey, who, by virtue of his ability and
patriotism, and who, as the hero of the
greatest naval victory of modern times,
was pre-eminently qualified to judge of
the actions and orders of Admiral Schley
on that memorable day, declared in a sup
plemental report that the latter had main
tained an effective blockade, and, as offi
cer In command, was entitled to the credit
for the victory off Santiago;
"Resolved. That we believe It the duty
of Congress to review the record of the
court, to examine into all the circum
stances and events tending to throw light
upon tho controversy, and to announce
Its judgment as to who was In command
at the battle of Santiago, and as to the
conduct of Admiral Schley upon that oc
casion. "Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing
be forwarded to Admiral Schley, also to
our Senators and Representatives In Con
gress." Entertained Admiral Schley.
SAVANNAH,. Ga., Jan. 13 Rear-Ad-mlral
Schley was formally entertained in
the Cotton Exchange this morning for

NOT FOR ROSEBERY.
London Liberals' Meeting? Renlly
Hostile to the Ex-Premier.
LONDON, Jan. 13. The Inaugural meet
ing of the London Liberal Association, at
St James Hall, had been awaited with
great Interest, principally because it was
thought that light would be thrown upon
the future relations between Lord Rose
berry and the Liberal party. Taken as
a whole, the demonstration could hardly
be considered an enthusiastic welcome to
Lord Rosebery on his reappearance In
public life. Lord Rosebery was- not
present at the meeting, at which Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman. Liberal
leader In the House of Commons, and
Earl Spencer were the principal speakers.
The temper of the meeting was distinct
ly hostile to the ex-Premier. The speech
of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman clear
ly indicated that If Lord Rosebery re
turned to the Liberal fold, he must do
so unreservedly, and in full accord with
the present policy of the Liberal party.
St James' Hall was crowded and thou
sands were turned away. Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman and Earl Spencer
were greeted vociferously. Miss Hob
house, who was the first person to begin
agitation regarding the condition of tho
concentration camps In South Africa, was
called to the platform and received an
ovation. In the meantime, pamphlets de
nouncing Lord Rosebery as a traitor to
the party were thrown broadcast from
the galleries. The reading of Lord Rose
bery's letter of regret was received with
mingled, cheers, hoots and hisses. The
letter was noncommittal. In It Lord
Rosebery said he hoped that the meeting
would aim to secure the unity of "common-sense
Liberalism." to which he hoped
he had contributed by his recent speech
at Chesterfield. This statement was re
ceived with strong expressions of dis
approval, and the audience almost pre
vented the conclusion of the reading of
the letter.
Following this episode Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman
began his speech. Amid
Interruptions, cheering and encourage,
ment the speaker said he welcomed Lord
Rosebery's return to public life and that
he had frequently urged him to such a
course. But In the next breath he
warned hl3 haarers that If they expected
to have a strong Liberal party In the
House of Commons It must be a party of
Liberals. He also said that the points
on which he differed with Lord Rosebery
seemed to him to be immaterial, and he
expressed the hope that the Liberal party
would have his Lordship's powerful co
operation on the all-Important subject of
the restoration of peace.

way until my treatment at the Copeland
Institute, which brought me prompt re
lief. "I did not know what it was to breathe
freely through the nostrils. Sometimes one
nostril would be stopped up and some
times the other. When I had cold my
head would become so stopped up and the
nose so firmly closed that I
Could Xot Breathe
through It. I breathed almost entirely
through the mouth, and at night would
wake up with my throat dry and parched.
My head and throat were filled with
mucus, which kept me
Hawking nnd Spitting
continually. Gradually I lost my sense
of smell and when I began treatment
It was nearly destroyed.
"Before my treatment at the Copeland
Institute I had used enough medicine to
drown me. I took
Forty-eight Bottles
of one kind, but it was like taking so
much water, and It was the same with
everything I tried. I had watched the
cures made at the Copeland Institute for

Boxers last year, the American command

worthy of imitation, for which we feel
exceedingly gratified and grateful. We
therefore instruct Wu Ting Fang to con-
vey our expre&sion or tnanKs tnrougn tne
Secretary of State to His Excellency, the
President of the United States. Re

OTHER CURES.

St., Portland, Or I had suffered from ca
tarrh for 15 years. My head, throat, ears
and stomach were In bad shape. I could
not breathe through the nostrils; my
throat was raw and sore and I coughed all
the time. My hearing was so much Im
paired that I could not understand com
mon conversation.
Everything I ate caused great distress.
I was sick at the stomach and nauseated,
with a heavy oppressed feeling In the
stomach. I lost 20 pounds and my
strength was greatly exhausted.
Drs. Copeland & Montgomery cured me.
Mr. Jo- II. Boos, Butte. Mont I
suffered 10 years with my head, throat ana
bronchial tubes.
My nostril'; were stopped up, forcing me
to breath through the mouth, and clogged
with crusts and scabs. I had nosebleed
without any apparent cause.
I had frequent attacks of asthma, when
the bronchial tubci seemed to contract
and to produce a tightness In the chest
that made it impossible to fill the lung
with air. At night I would be propped
up with pillows In ordar to get sleep or
est.
I would say to all sufferers from ca

ment Is all right. It cured me after every
tning else had failed.
