FOR SPRUNG ATHLETICS
3IULTNOMAII-OHEGON MEET TO BC
IX PO ICELAND.
ColIcBrinte AthletAc League Will
Hold Kleld Day at 31c-
Illlnnvfillc.
The season for track and field sports Is
fast approaching, and ihere will be some
good, lively contests when the young
uthletcrf; round Into form. About the only
s nf of the kind which will be held in
Portland during the Spring will be the
du-J meet between the M. A. A. C. and
the University of Oregon. Last year.
Oregon won over MuJtnorrah by a score of
CI to 43, but as the University has lost
Heater and Foley, two of Its best men,
the Indications point to a very even con
test with .Multnomah this year. If the
dual meet Is to furnish the excellent
flport that it did last year, both Institu
tions will have to develop some very
clever novices, for tho only old record
breakers left .are Kerrigan, of the 31. A.
A C, and Payne, the crack middle-distance
man of Oregon. Multnomah still
has Gammie In the sprints, and Murphy
in the hurdles and field events, while Zan
wih iOok: out for the distance runs -and
Lcus throw. The University has lost
Tvuh "Wagner and Smith, the crack weight
throwers, Tut as the weights are not in-
ludcd In the programme with Multno
mah, their absence will not be noticed so
much as in the collegiate games, where
weights and all are Included. The train
ing at the University will be under the
supervision of ex-Captain Redmond, who
will be assisted in the sprints by Lewis,
the crock 100-ynrd man. Among the new
students are several promising athletes,
and It is certain that some good material
will be den-eloped.
Multnomah's best man Is Kerrigan, who
will be beard from again In the field
events. ICerrlgan is in better shape than
ever this year, and ought to jump in hla
old-time frm. His younger brother, Oscar
Kerrigan, will run the hurdles for the
M. A. A. C and Gammie will do good
work In the sprints. It Is far too early
to make cny accurate prediction concern
ing the ncyv men, but it is safe to say that
Multnomah will have good men in every
event.
The college Athletic League of Oregon,
which Includes McMInnvlIle College, Al
bany College,. Pacific College, Dallas Col
lege and tho Monmouth Normal School,
will hold its second annual field meet at
McMInnvlIle early in June. Last year
Albany College came out victorious, but
the presence at the phenomenal Heater
at Pacific College almost Insures victory
t the Newborg Institution. Pacific and
Willamette Universities expect to be well
represented on tne track this year" and
will contest in a dual meet. Pacific ex
pects to encounter tho University of Ore
gon, the University of Washington and
Whitman College.
The track athletes of the University of
Washington am preparing for a busy sea
son, and the prosiocts for a winning team
are brighter than usual. The only Inter
collegiate content that will occur in this
c.tv will be the Oregon-Washington meet,
which takes place in May. The big com
bu 'ttion meet which was to have been
hi'd .it Walla Wialla has been abandoned,
rr.1, as a conference, will tour the In
I'tC Empire, first meeting Whitman, In
W ilia Walla, and laier holding a tri
angular meet with tlu? Washington Agri
cultural College and the University of
1 ""ao. The latter meet will occur at
Pul.m.m. The University of Washington
ojut to win both meets, as the colleger
of tK Inland Empire are not strong in
tmk and field athletics.
T'ie- Spokane Amateur Athletic Club is
r-Hi -ting with the Olympic Club, of
& vrancihco, for a dual track meet, to
1 he.d in Spokane .-ome time during the
s? -nnier. The Olympics will ,come north
to compete In the field day sports at the
Astoria regatta, and will journey on to
Srokrne for the meet in that city.
ATHLETICS AT HP311XSV1I&E.
College Will Put Out a. Strong Truck:
Tea an.
M-MIKXVILLE. Or Feb. 9. McMlnn
ville College will enter the field meet this
year much stronger than at the meeting
Ian June. This Improvement will bo both
1.1 form and material. Last season every
man was new. and no one knew the first
principles of track athletics. With last
j ear' j. experience, every man ought to
enter the meet In condition to put forth
his best efforts, which was not the case
list year. Of "last year's team the col
lege has not lost a man of any Importance.
In addition to this, there is material to
double tho number of the team, and thus
lighten the work on each man, permit
ting him to do his best in his special
event. Some of the new material is of
tho best, and there If every prospect of
developing some record-breakers among
the freshmen. But the greatest gain will
perhaps be In the division of work.
A noteworthy point is that the meet
will be given a new complexion and in
terest by the cutting out of the standing
jumns and the introduction of the disc
throw, the 50-yard dash and relay race.
At, McMlnnvIlle's strong point Is on the
track, this brightens things. There is ma
terial for nn excellent relay team, and
this most exciting of races will be hotly
contested.
Manager Adams is negotiating for a
number of dual meets during the Spring.
The team will probably meet Monmouth,
Cewbcrg, Chemawa and Forest Grove.
If meets can be arranged with each of
these schools, the men will have enough
tests for one season, furnishing them with
plenty of experience. Altogether, Mc
MlnnvIlle's prospects for the coming meets
are gratlfyingly bright.

EAGER FOR THE FRAY.
Fernw nnd Tracey Preparing
fer
Their Coming; Bout.
The coming boxing contest between
"Rube" Ferns and Tom Tracey Is arous
ing great Interest among Portland sports.
Saturday afternoon a large number of
spectators gathered at the Hotel Mikado.
Ferns' headquarters, where the man from
Kansas was going 'through his dally ex
ercises. All concede that he is the great-
est rope-skipper ever seen In the North
west, and in his practice bouts, he shows
himself to be a handy man, though hardly
as shifty as Tracey. Ferns Is short and
heavy-set. being but 5 feet 5V Inches In
height. This causes Tracey's friends to
feel more confident than ever, as they be
lieve that the advantage In height and
reach will help the Australian. Trainer
Jack Hanley. who is looking after Ferns'
welfare, says that it will be necessary for ,
mm to work hard in order to make.l
pounds, the required weight, on the day
of the contest.
Tracey, contrary to expectations, did
not go to the White House to do his
training, but is working In the city. He
has unlimited confidence In his ability to
beat "The Rube," and declares that pe
will be the world's white welter-weight
champion at the conclusion of the contest.
Frank Murphy, manager of "Dutch"
Thurston, who Is .to meet Al. XelU, In
Oakland, next Friday night, has written
to Messrs Day and Grant, asking for a
match botween his man and any of the
leading middle-weights of the Coast.
Thurston Is a good man. and he will
probably be accommodated.
Mike Donnovan Is anxious for a go be
fore the Pastime Club, and a match be
tween him and Thurston would be a
"hummer."

How Antor Lost 30,000,000.
The New Orleans correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger has found In an old
book now out of print this anecdote of
the original John Jacob Astor: "He was
asked one day what was the largest
amount of money he had ever made In
one transaction. This he declined to an
swer, but said that he would tell the
largest sum that he failed to make. Then
he went on to relate how he, De Witt
Clinton and Gouverneur Morris had
planned to buy Louisiana from France
and sell It to the United States Govern
ment, retaining the public domain and
charging 2 per cent commission. They
changed their minds, and Mr. Astor said
that he lost 530.000.000 by falling to go
into the deal."

FASTTEAM FOR PORTLAND
MANAGER VIGNEAUX SIGNS CRACIC
BALt-PLAYEUS.
Uome-Rnn Muller On the Lint Out
look for Good Sport in Inland
Empire.
The prospects for a winning bail team
were never as bright as they are this
year in Portland. The directors of the
local club certainly made no mistake
when they chose Samuel Vigneaux as
manager, for he Is well qualified for the
position, and has gone to work with one
aim In view putting out a winning team.
The men alreadj algned form a nucleus
around which a very strong aggregation
of players will be gathered. In the first
place, there Is catcher Vigneaux. who Is
the peer of many of the best players
in the country. He was a very important
factor on last season's nine, and his
work this year will be watched with In
terest. Then there Is Mahaffey at first base,
and old, reliable Andy Anderson at sec
ond. Bo Ui are hard hitters, and botn
field their positions cleverly. At third.
Hupp will appear In a Portland uniform
for the first time. He is an Eastern play
er, and will no doubt prove a worthy
successor to Tinker, who made such a

?J&
:
Lonl Mahaffey, Popular First Bajte
xn&n. fine record last year. In the out-Held,
there Is "home-run" Muller, who was a
great favorite with the Portland fans
last year. Muller Is probably the best
fielder In the league. Thus far, Vigneaux
has signed but one pitcher. Joe Mahaffey,
who comes with the most flattering rec
ommendations. Negotiations are pending
with Engle and Salisbury, both of whom
pitched for Portland last year, and Diesel
Is expected to return and play short-stop.
Other men whom Vigneaux has on the
string are Weed, the crack right-fielder
of last year, Rankin, a well-known local
player; Berry, a sterling young pitcher
from Walla Walla, and one or two others
whose names have not yet been an
nounced. All In all, the Portland baseball team of
1902 ought to bo a winner. It will possess
all tho elements of strength and other
league teams will have to better them
selves In order to win from the Webfoot
aggregation. The sporting public Is satis
fied that the management of both the
local club and the league Is in good hands,
and the baseball men need have no fears
about tho support which they will receive.
Speaking of Claude Berry, the amateur
pitcher, upon whom Manager Vigneaux
has sot his eagle eye, the Walla Walla
Union says:
"Last season showed Claude Berry to be
the fastest amateur pitcher in the north
west, and the managers of the big league
teams, always on the lookout for material,
were not slow in singling him out for
advancement. His two principal feats
were holding the heavy Whitman College
team down to a eingle safe hit and al
lowing the equally etrong Athena team
but two singles In nine Innings. He easily
led nil of the Walla Walla pitchers and
did phenomenal work in fielding hlB po
sition." The Inland Empire towns are preparing
for a very active bapeball season, and
strong teams are being mustered In all
quarters. Pendleton has formed a stock
company, with 52000 capital, while Walla
Walla. Dayton. Athena, Baker City, and
La Grande are all coming to the front
with rattling good teams. Every indica
tion points to an exciting season up in the
sage-brush districts.
Manager A. P. Remington, of tho Uni
versity of Washington nine, has arranged
for a series of practice games with the
Seattle professionals. The Washington
team, although weakened by the loss of
many old players, will make a strong bid
for the state championship.
Among the Oregon colleges, very little
Interest has been taken In baseball during
recent years. The reason Is the fact that
track and field sports have been more
popular and that the college athletic as
sociations have had neither means
nor strength sufficient to support
both branches of the Spring sports.
In California and the East. the
colleges put out both track and
baseball teams; and In Washington, both
are receiving some attention. Inter-collegiate
baseball. If once firmly establishen
In Oregon, would furnish good sport and
would meet with popular favor. Pacific
University has announced the fact tnat
a baseball nine will be put in the field
this year, and it is hoped that the other
colleges will assist in reviving the great
national game.
Intcr-scholastic baseball was quite pop
ular here In Portland last Spring, and it
Is hoped that the schools and academies
of the city will all put teams on the dia
mond again this year.
The Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club
has plenty of good baseball material and
a strong team will probably be put In the
field this season.
ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL.
Game Gaining Ground in Eastern
ColleKes.
Association football Is making headway
In Eastern colleges, once the stronghold
of the Inter-collegiate game. Once upon
a time, and not so very long ago either,
it would have been considered treason to
propose that the University of Pennsyl
vania would play association football, but
the latter game will shortly be in full
swing there for Spring practice. At the
fag end of last Summer, candidates for
the 'Varsity team were suddenly plunged
Into the heavy work of the college game,
and some of them could not stand the
pace, in conjunction with brethren of
Yale, Harvard and other places. Many
of the boys had been rowing, and de
voting their attention to tennis and base
ball. This year the athletic committee of
Pennsylvania is not anxious to repeat the
error in training candidates, and at a
recent meeting it was decided that all
football candidates not engaged in other
lines of sport will be asked to Join the
new 'Varsity association football team,
but that the team will not be known as
a regular 'Varsity eleven. The committee
In charge of this new division are: Cap
tain Gardiner, S. Crowther, Jr., and I. A.
Pennypacker, with Dr. Shell as director.
In this manner, Pennsylvania hopes to
have a hardy array of young football
players ready for the strenuous work
demanded of them when they try for
places on the Tegular 'Varsity lnter-col-leglate
team next September. Last year
Pennsy was strictly "not In It" when It
7't?&mwmm
came to the college game, and the time
has now arrived when according to Penn
sylvania, time and money will be de
voted to create a winning team for the
ensuing season. The 'Varsity boys will
get plenty of practice In their new ven
ture, for there arc upwards of 3n first
clabs association football clubs now play
ing In Philadelphia and suburbs.
Considerable opposition to the inter-col
leglate football game is becoming mani- .
fest in Michigan, and an effort is being .
made to abolish the game among the i
.uicnigan contges on inc piea mat it is
hazardous and dangerous to players, and
that the sport doe not attract the crowd.
An attempt will be made to popularize
association football there.
It Is not likely that the association game
will be played during tho early part of
the season by the Multnomahs, as their
supporters prefer the college game, and
the Multnomahs, In that line of sport,
do not nave a single dangerous rival to
meet with in this section. "Why then
should we waste our time getting Into
shape. with the association game?" a (
Multnomah man asks. I
The Portland Association Football Club
Is preparing for the ensuing game with
the Ilwacos. the strongest association
icam on uiu r-.iciiic loasi, ienruary jj.
The details of the game are not settled
yet, but it Is probable that the game
will be played at Ilwaco.
HOLDING DOWN THE TRUSTS
IteeomiiiciulntloiiH of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 9. The second
part of the report of the Industrial Crui
mlssion was made pub'ic today. It eoveis
manufactures and industrial combinations
and In its recommendations quotes from
its report tb Congress in 1900. in which it
then recommended: "Th.it the promoters
and organizers of corporations of indus
trial combinations which look to the pub
lic to purchase or dr! in their stocks or
securities should e r quired to furnish
full details regarding the organization;
that any prospectus or announcement of
any kind soliciting subscriptions which
falls to make full disclosures as aforesaid,
or which is fal?e. should be deemed
fraudulent, and that all information con
cerning the corporation should be open
to Investors and that the lirge corpora
tionsthe -o-caled truatf should be re
quired to publish annually a properly au
dited report showing in reasonable detail
their assets nnd liabilities with profit or
loss; such report and audit under oath
to be subject to Government inspection."
In addition to the above the commission
now recommends:
"That District Attorneys of the United
States be authorized and directed to Insti
tute proceedings for violation of the
Federal anti-trust laws
"That combinations and conspiracies In
the form of trusts or otherwise In re
straint of trade or by reduction, which by
consensus of judicial opinion are unlawful,
should be so declared by legislation uni
form in all jurisdictions and as to all per
sons, and such statutes should be thor
oughly enforced.
"That stringent laws be enacted by the
Congress and the several State Legisla
tures, making both penal and criminal the
vicious practice of discriminating between
customers and cutting rates or prices in
one locality below those which prevail
generally, for the purpose of destroying
local competition; and that such law
should give to any person damaged the
right to sue for and recover prescribed
penalties, and make it the duty of prose
cuting officers to proceed against tho
offenders.
"That to prevent over-capitalization the
several state Legislatures enact laws
similar to the nnti-stock watering laws
of Massachusetts; tlso to provide for state
supervision of all public service corpora
tions with power to recommend or regu
late rates for service nnd to pass upon
the public need, desirability or exigency
of any proposed new service.
"That an annual franchise tax be im
posed upon all state corporations engaged
In Interstate commerce, calculated upon
the gross earnings of each corporation
from Its interstate business; that the min
imum rate of such tax be low, but that
the rato be gradually increased with in
creases in earnings.
"That there be created In the Treasury
Department a permanent bureau, the
duties of which shall be to register all
state corporations engaged in Interstate
or foreign commerce; to secure from such
corporations all reports needed to enable
the Government to levy a franchise tax
with certainty and justice and to collect
the same; to make such inspection and
examination of the business of such cor
porations as will guarantee the complete
ness and accuracy of tho information
needed to ascertain whether such corpora
tions are observing the conditions pre
scribed In the act, and to enforce penalties
against delinquents; and to collate and
publish information regarding such com
binations and the industries in which they
may be engaged so as to furnish to Con
gress proper Information for possible fu
ture legislation.
"That if a Department of Commerce and
Industry shall be established, one of its
functions should be to call attention from
time to time to such economic changes in
the world's progress as may suggest tariff
nodificatlons, and also to such commercial
opportunity as may suggest reciprocity
legislation or arrangements, and, further
more, to any evils incident to combinations
which changes in the tariff will correct.
"That," In view of the extent and per
fection of our manufactures, or our grow
ing export trade and the sharp competi
tion It encounters :n foreign markets, of
the practice by some exporters of making
lower iTrlces abroad than at home, nnd of
the desirability of protecting the constraier
as well ns the producer, without awaiting
other legislation, the Congress provide
for a commission to investigate and study
the subject, and to report as soon as pos
sible what concessions In eluties may be
made without endangering wages or cm-
ployment at home, what advantages
abroad may be obtained therefor, and also
to suggest measures best suited to gain
the ends desired."

Late tonight the lire still burns, though
It has been well under control sInce mul
afternoon. The fine Interior of the Ham
ilton Club, which was the last of the
buildings of prominence to sutfer, was
cracl:ling and its walls were reddened by
the glow from the slowly expiring flames
within and around. Many of the citl-
ens wcre stm about the streets, but the
cord0n kept by the militiamen sas quite
rlsd. Tne quarter they were guarding
was alive with firemen and machinery
an,i wagons, which were beginning In a
small wav to clear awav the debris..
The Sunday Chronicle issued an extra
at 2 o'elock this morning, giving the
story of the first two hours of the tire.
At 4 o'clock the fire j-pread down Ellison
street, attacked the Chronicle office, and
completely destroye-d It.
The I'rtilmhle Orlptln.
What started the fire is not certain,
but it is thought that one of the feed
wires running Into the car barns was re
sponsible. From the car barns the tlames
leaped to the other buildings close by,
and these were burned before the first
call firemen reached the scer.c. Inside of I
two hours the fire reached Main street.
This was the critical point of the fire.
The firemen sought to hold It and failed.
The First Baptist Church was one of
the first to go after this. The destruc
tion of the church was spectacular. The
tower burned before the body of the
V.ulldlr.g. From the tower the flames de
scended into the church, and from then
on the fight was seemingly hopeless.
Area of UrNtructfon.
The area of destruction foots up roughly
23 city blocks. From Main street to
Paterson, between Van Houten and Mar
ket streets, there !s little left. On the
block bounded by Main, Ellison. Washing
ton and Market streets not a single build
ing, excepting that of the Paterson Sav
ings Institution, stands. All aiong the wcrt
side of Main street property Is wiped out.
nnd on the east side, also, from Market
to Van Houten streets. Along the south
slda of Broadway, between Washington
and Church streets, great damage has
been done. Van Houten street Is reduced
to smoldering debris, so far as buildings
are ooncerned, for seme distance.
Ellison street suffered from the neigh
borhood of Prospect street, on Its north
side, as far as Church street. On the
south side of this street there Is wide
spread ruin from, a short distance west of
Main street to the parsonage of the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church, near Paterson
streett Market street is a pile of ruins
from Main street to the Market-Street
church, on the north side and on the south
side. On Washington s.treet, between
Broadway and Market streets, there Is
nothing left. Church street is wiped out
on Its west side between Ellison and Mar
ket streets, as it is on the east side.
It was in Its newest and best-built por
tion that Paterson suffered, though aome
of the property now lying in blackened
ruins had an Interest which came with
age and usago.
The trolley car stables, where the flames
began, 'had in their time been a skating
rink, and also the scene of political rallies,
and other popular gatherings. The First
Baptist Church had a history all its own.
Its origin running back for a century.
The old City Hall, used for a police sta
tion, wns also a landmark.
Neither the home of John W. Griggs, ex-Attorney-General
of the United States, nor
that of Mrs. Garret A. Hobart, widow of
Vice-President Hobart, was harmed by
the Are, both being well out of Its path.
The cost of the fire has .not yet been
counted with any degree of accuracy, and
It will be several days before there can bo
a definite tabulation of losses and Insur
ance. In the confusion of the day and
the rigorous guarding of the burned dis
tricts at night, it was Impossible to locate
a majority of the heavier sufferers. The
estimate of $10,000,000 will probably cover
the destruction broadly, and a group of
city oificlals. who went over the city this
evening, were Inclined to scale that figure
down to between $7,500,000 and $S,000.OGO for
actual property losses. Their estimates
made no calculation for loss on account of
suspension of business.

the case of trust companies, will depend

test of the fire.
The Duy's Casualties.
One death is reported as a possible out
come of the conflagration, a Mrs. Brown,
who. it was said, was over SO years old,
and who was removed from her residence,
13 Broadway, just two doors from where
the fire started in the car sheds. She
was taken to the residence of a friend
near by shortly after midnight and died
about an hour later. It was said that
her death was hastened by the excite
ment consequent on her hasty removal
to a place of safety.
Scores of persons were hurt and
burned, but the loss of life is not thought
to be great
Many persons are reported to be miss
ing, but in the excitement and fright
most of these are supposed to be separ
ated from their families and friends.
Reuben Isllb, while serving coffee to
the exhausted firemen, was hit on the
I head by a falling beam and it is doubt-
ful If he will recover. He was carried
away by the firemen as they made their
ratreat ircm the doomed schoolhousa.
George Fltzmaurice, a fireman who has
been acting .w driver for Fire Chief
Stagg.' is also dying. He was driving an
engme from Pis-alc. when the horses
boltt-d and before Fltzmaurice could get
them under control, they brought the
apparatus against an electric pole and
Fltzmaurice. who had not waited to
strap himself in. was hurled out upon
bis. head. There is no chance of his living.
Tlie DimKcr Over.
PATERSON. N. J.. Feb. 10. 1-15 A. M.
The wind died out during the night
and the danger of a freh outbreak of
fire from flying sparks was for the time
greatly lessened. The wind sprang up
again at midnight, and an hour later
was blowing quite hard.
The firemen re-malned on guard at every
point of danger and streams wcre kept
playing into a number of buildings. At
midnight the militia guards were re
lieved by fresh men who will remain on
watch through the rest of the night. The
sentries blocked every avenue leading
into the two burned districts and pre
served perfect order. Dozens of shells
of buildings that still stand are dan
gerous in that a strong wind woul'd top
ple them over, and steps will be taken
early this morning to have them torn
down.
3feiv York Ininrnnce Men Hit.
NEW YORK. Feb. 9. There was a
hasty assembling of the Are under
writers at Newark today, and efforts
were made to obtain from Paterson an
idea of the losses there. It seems that
the losses will fall largely upon the com
panies which are foreign to the state of
New Jersey. The four Newark compan
ies, the Firemen's, Merchants, Newark,
Newark Fire and American of Newark,
with the aid of maps of the city this
afternoon, made up an estimate of their
losses. They are not badly hit. as their
payments will not be more than 540,000
in any case. From theso figures the
amounts scale down to $12,000, making
but a comparatively small amount in the
aggregate. .
Lotses are likely to fall largely upon
the insurance companies of this city.
While no .formal meeting of underwrit
ers has been held, the general expres
sion among them is that insurance car
ried in this city by Paterson will aggre
gate 'between $3,000,000 and S3.500.000. This,
of course. Is merely an estimate, as no
papers were available today which would
disclose the actual amount of policies
written by the underwriters here.
GOOD FAITH VS. PUBLIC HONOR
War Revenue Repeal Affords Us a
Duueerons Test.
Philadelphia Press.
There are two decisive objections to the
sweeping cut In revenues proposed by the
committee on ways and means. Either
alone would be sufficient to condemn It.
Both together should be fatal. If the
House will not correct the committee, the
appeal must be to the Senate.
The first objection to the radical and
extremo reduction is that It would
strip the Government of the strength
that goes with ample means and ready
power. The second is that it would pre
clude the moderate concessions to Cuba
which the welfare of the island and the
honor and justice of the United States
equally demand.
The first consideration alone should be
enough to warn against wiping out all
the revenue provided by the special war
measure. A large remission of this taxa
tion Is not only feasible, but desirable.
If a cut of ?30,000,000 were added to the
large reduction made last year, it would
ba an ample saving, and would respond to
every obligation and reasonable expecta
tion. It would, besides. If rightly adjust
ed, take off all the taxation which Is
vexatious and which may properly be re
garded of an emergency character.
But to strike off $77,000,000 against the
judgment of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, against the plain dictates of prudence,
against the warnings of experience, would
bo a blunder amounting almost to a crime.
We do not want a Treasury so overflow
ing as to encourage extravagance anci
prodigality. On the other hand, there Is
manifest weakness In a Treasury without
a margin or in danger of a deficit. The
Government that has abundant resources
at Its command Is armed with special
power for any emergency.
It was a source of incalculable moral
strength to this country that in the
Spring of 1S9S, when war with Spain
was imminent, but before the declaration

during which time thousands of cases
have been cured, and no person was
ever refused treatment. The St.

dollars In money and property, and
able financially to make its word
good.
Since Dr. Kessler started the St.

hundreds of traveling doctors have
come to Portland, advertised their
sure-cure ability in the papers, got
what money they could from confid

men. They will tell you that Dr.
Kessler is O. K. Lots of people com

the Coast can give such reference as this old doctor.

000,000 for mobilizing the power of tho
Nation. That demonstration of the spirit
and strength of the country made a. tre
mendous impression on the governments
of Europe, and was a potent factor in
warding off movements which would
have been most embarrassing. Thero

most unwise to cripple the power which,
the Government holds In the quick com
mand of abundant resources.
If this reason were not sufficient to
admonish Congress against reducing tha
revenue to the extent proposed by tho
committee, the moral obligation of re
lief ot Cuba completes tho argument.
The cut Is everywhere taken as hostlio;
to Cuban concessions. This lnterpreta-,
tion seems to be justified by the facts.
The two things are Irreconcilable. Tho
one makes the other impossible. If tho
House does not wish to be understood
as deliberately intending to block tho
way toward such reasonable relief a9
will save Cuba from dire calamity, It will)
hesitate at such a comprehensive cut oC
revenue as will put any further reduc-j

of good faith and public honor. We Go
not believe the action of the commltteo
can prevail. But there should bo no ne

Sentiment in Burglnry.
It was 1 o'clock In the morning.-
In the deepest shadow of tho piazza of
the little suburban villa In which our story
opens sat two burglars, earnestly discuss
ing the affair that had brought them
hither. A light In one of the upper win
dows, which had only just been extin
guished, had made them postpone for a
while their attempt, and this delay had
given the first burglar an opportunity to
ask his partner the circumstances which
had led to this particular graft.
"The lady who occupies this house."
whispered tho second burglar, "has $20.
000 In cash. She drew it out of the bank
yesterday, and tomorrow she will turn it
over to the old and trusted friend of her
late husband."
"Who Is lie?" asked the first burglar.
"He's an old cove they've known ail
their lives. He's going to advise her how
to invest her money. In the meantime
she's got It all upstairs with her in a
black bag."
The first burglar was silent for a while.
"Jim," he said at last, "I haven't the
heart to do It. She's a widow. Let's
wait."
"Walt!" exclaimed the second burglar.
"For what?"
"Why," said his companion, "wait until
the old cove has It. Then rob him."
