AID TO POSTOFFICE
Public Building Bill Has in It
a Portland Item.
$150,000 IS AMOUNT CARRIED
"Will Be Expended in Enlarging
Structure $10,000 for Exterior
Finish of Cnitora-IIonsc
Washington' Money.
WASHINGTON, April 23. The omnibus
public "building bill, which is to be intro
duced in the House tomorrow, will carry
$150,000 lor enlarging the Portland Post
office and Federal Court building, and
$10,000 for the exterior flnlsh of the Port
land Custom-House. These provisions
were secured through the efforts of Rep
resentative Moody, who has repeatedly
urged even larger appropriations upon
the House committee, and in the face of
a strong desire to eliminate the postofflce
item. Aside from these appropriations,
Oregon is not recognized.
The bill also appropriates $150,000 addi
tonal for the Seattle building, making the
total amount appropriated $900,000. Sixty
thousand dollars each Is appropriated for
Tacoma and Spokane for the purchase of
public building sites, the Tsill stipulating
that these sites shall embrace an entire
city block, and shall be bounded by a
street on four sides. Idaho gets no appro
priation in the bill.
NEW LA7CD LEASING SCHEME.
Delegation of Cattlemen Appears Be
fore Senate Committee. v
WASHINGTON, April 25. A delega
tion of Western cattlemen appeared be
fore the Senate public lands committee
today, and presented arguments favor
ing the enactment of land leasing legis
lation. The delegation, since reaching
here, ascertaining the strength of the
opposition to the leasing bills now pend
ing, which at the request of the Cattle
men's Association were Introduced in
the Senate by Senator Millard, and In
the House by Representative Bowersock,
have practically decided to abandon
these bills, and endeavor to secure leas
ing legislation less objectionable to the
interior Department, which has reported
adversely upon these bills. It is acknow
ledged that conditions are sp varied In
the West that a general law, which may
be advantageous to one state, may be
entirely Inappropriate in others. It Is
suggested that each state delegation se
cure legislation applicable to Its own
state, fixing the rates of rental, term of
lease, etc., in accordance with local con
ditions, the Interior Department officials,
it Is saiJf will not be averse to the plan
suggested.
No Change In Ide Case.
Senator Foster has received word from
R. A- Hutchinson, of Spokane, the signer
of the affidavit charging Ide with offer
ing bribes, urging him to have the
charges thoroughly investigated, and
saying he can produce witnesses to back
up his assertions. Senator Foster, how
ever, says he has no present intention
cf acting on the suggestion. As far as
he knows the Ide case stands where it
was prior to the committee meeting yes
terday. SOLIDIFIES THE REPUBLICANS.
Democratic Ccnsnre of Philippine
Policy Is Welcomed.
WASHINGTON. April 25. Democratic
Senators continue to attack the President
and the Republican policy In the Philip
pines at a time when the Republican par
ty Is divided on another issue. As a re
sult, the Republicans welcome the dlscus
i '.on on these lines, as it tends to solidify
the party when party unity is most de
fclred. The Senate laughed at the re
marks of Carmack, of Tennessee, today,
and his utterances seemed to vastly
please his own partisans. But Republi
cans who consider the matter thought
fully believe every assault of that charac
ter will result in popularizing Roosevelt
before the country. Carmack had pre
vpared his speech a long time in advance,
and coupling Funston with Roosevelt, he
had not reckoned on the determination
of the President to stop all talk by Army
officers regarding all public men, and
while the remarks were funny they were
inapplicable.
The Republican Senators do not qare to
prolong the debate on the Philippine bill,
but before the 'ote Is taken It Is evident
that the position of the Administration re
garding the Philippines will be plainly
stated, and It will be shown that the ma
jority party is willing to accept the bat
tle which the Democrats offer.
TRUST POLICY THAT COUNTS.
Roosevelt's Stand Famishes Good
Campaign Ammunition.
WASHINGTON, April 25. There is a
great deal of serious discussion about
trusts among Senators and Representa
tives, and even those who have been
known as railroad or corporation men are
much disturbed over the amalgamation of
vast transportation Interests throughout
the country and on the seas. That the
trust question is going to enter largely
into the campaign is the general belief,
but Republicans feel that they will have
as much ammunition on this line as the
Democrats. There was a time when the
Republicans were much disturbed over
the action of the President in Instituting
suits against the Great Northern-Northern
Pacific merger, fearing it would make
capital timid, and at that time many large
capitalists tried to create an unfavorable
impression about the President. Now,
however, the politicians see that the po
sition of the President will be extremely
advantageous to them In the campaign
this Fall, as the Democratic party cannot
hold any monopoly in opposition to the
trusts, and It will be pointed out that
a. Republican administration has taken the
only course open for restraining the
trusts. The President's action regarding
the beef trust is especially approved.
SCHEME TO DELAY CANAL BILL.
Opposition Behind Hoar's Resolution
for an Adjoarnment.
"WASHINGTON, April 25.-The Senators
who are favoring the Nicaragua Canal
have scouted a "plant" in the resolution
introduced by Senator Hoar, providing for
an adjournment to May 15. It is only a
small one, but it postpones for that length
of time the consideration of the Philip
pine bill, and stands In the way of the
canal measure. It is not believed Sena
tor Hoar had any other mirpose-than thai
which he stated, which was to allow a
"Spring cleaning" of the Senate, but it Is
believed certain Senators who want to
defeat the canal bill got Senator Hoar to
introduce the resolution so as to kill that
much time. The result will ,-be that a
-fight is to be made against the resolu
tion in the .Interest of bringing the canal
bill before the Senate.
EXCLUSIONISTS FIGHTING HARD.
Pacific Coast DcIegatfbtA Holding
House Conferees Firmly.
WASHINGTON. 'April 25. The Pacific
Coast delegation docs not intend to give
up anything It has In sight on the Chi
nese exclusion legislation. The men from
that section arc fighting every inch Of
the ground, and are holding the House
conferees firmly to the provision for in
definite life of the pending measure. When
It is demonstrated that there is no pos
sibility of getting a proposition through
the Senate, they will yield. Their argu
ments are that the whole Chinese exclu
sion matter will have to be fought over
again in the next Congress, unless the
Geary law is Indefinitely extended.
THIS IS OREGON DAY AT FAIR.
Representative Tongne to Be Prin
cipal Speaker at Charleston.
CHARLESTON, S. C, April 25.
Charleston opened wide her gates today
to Oregonlans, Washingtonians and Ida
hoans. All agree that Oregon day to
morrow will be a great success. Rep
resentatives Tongue and Moody are here.
The former will deliver the principal
oration.

Jerome Raids n Policy Shop.
NEW YORK, April 25. District Attor
ney Jerome has sent several staff detec
tives into Chatham Square, where they
raided an alleged policy shop, made two
prisoners and seized paraphernalia said
to have been used In tho business. Chat
ham Square Is in the police precinct pre
sided over by Captain Vredenburgh, who
recently wag quoted in the newspapers as
having said he would pay $500 reward to
any one who could discover a disorderly
house or a policy chop In his precinct.
The raid was somewhat spectacular,
hundreds of people seeing the detectives
enter the place by smashing the doors.
Six men were in the joom, and the officers
had to use force In. making arrests. One
of the officers was so dazed by a blow
that one man he was holding got away,
as did three others, by means of the
fire escape.
The raid Is looked on as Important in
that the police claim It was the headquar
ter? or "clearing-house" for the down
town shops.

ROOStVELT IS CRITICISED
SENATOR CARMACK1 ATTACK HIS
PHILIPPINE POLICY,
Denounces General Funston In Un
measured Terms McCumber
on Food Adulteration.
WASHINGTON, April 25. Two speeches
occupied the entire attention of the Sen
ate today. McCumber discussed his bill
to prevent the misbranding and misrepre
sentation of food products which enter
Into Interstate commerce. Carmack, a
Tennessee Democrat, one of the minority
members of the Philippine committee,
spoke in opposition to the Philippine gov
ernment bill now pending. His address
attracted to the chamber not only many
Senators, but a considerable number of
his former colleagues in the House. Ho
sharply criticised the President, not only
for the policy he Is pursuing in the Phil
ippines, but for utterances which, the
Senator declared, tend to fair the flame of
insurrection? He also denounced General
Funston, whom he characterized as the
'Jayhawker Brigadier from the wind
swept plains the mightiest Samson that
ever welded the jawbone of an ass as a
weapon of war."
The Proceedings.
McCumber, chairman of the commit
tee on manufactures, spoke on the, bill
"to prevent the adulteration, misbrand
ing and imitation of foods, beverages,
candles, drugs and condiments in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and tho territories, and
for regulating interstate commerce there
in." The object of his address, he said,
was to convince the Senate of the very
great Importance of the subject to tne
American people. For a quarter of a
century, nearly every state in the Union
had been struggling with the question of
procuring pure foods. Experience has
proved that It has been impossible to" ob
tain uniformity in state lawa This bill
attempts to regulate the sale of only
such foods as enter Into interstate com
merce, and Congress therefore has ample
opportunity to deal with the subject. He
declared that the extent of the adultera
tion and misbranding of food products
and foods was appalling. The time had
come for Congress to act. He enumerated
many of the frauds In food products
which, he said, were crimes against the
consumer and merchant alike. The
amount of deleterious foods placed on
the markets every year, McCumber said,
was valued at fully $1,170,000,000. while
the total amount of adulterated food prod
ucts each year was nearly $4,000,000,000.
McCumber expressed the belief, based
upon evidence taken by his committee,
that manufacturers and dealers generally
would not object to the enactment of the
bill proposed.
Piatt of Connecticut, chairman of the
committee on relations with Cuba, re
ported irom mat committee a substitute
for the resolution offered a few days ago
by Teller, the substitute providing for an
investigation by the committee of the
holdings of Cuban BUgar and of Cuban
sugar lands by American citizens, the
committee to have authority to send for
persons and papers and to sit during ses
sions of the Senate. The resolution was
referred to the committee on contingent
expenses.
A bill for the protection of game In
Alaska 'was passed.
At 2 o'clock the unfinished business the
Filipino government bill was laid before
the Senate. Carmack, a member -of the
Philippine committee, addressed the Sen
ate in opposition to the" measure. He
said this bill, like the Philippine tariff
bill would simply present the aspect of
imperialism. It was not a question only
of framing just laws for the Filipinos,
but a question of the right to make any
laws whatever for that people.
"The claim of the Republicans," said
he, "Is that they had nurned enough
towns, wasted enough and killed enough
people to make good their right. The
land is oura because we foave strewn It
with the ashes of Its homes and drenched
it with the blood of its people."
Opponents of this policy denied that we
had derived any just powers of govern
ment from the subjugation of the gov
erned, and that was the real issue of this
debate. In the former debate, he said,
Spooner had charged that the minority
had prostituted the question for partisan
purposes and that Mr. Bryan, had seized
upon It to force an Issue with the Admin
istration. Unfortunately for this argu
ment, the fact was ,that Mr. Bryan had
declared his position upon this question
long before anybody knew what the policy
of the Administration would be. At that
time, the public utterances of McKInley
and Bryan were In exact accord, and if the
Administration had not reversed its pol
icy, there would have been no difference
between them. The Democrats In the
Senate, he Insisted, had tried to remove
the question from party politics. It was
now claimed that the civil authority of
the United States was supreme through
out the Philippines, and It was treason
for a Democrat to express an opinion.
He cited the public utterances of Presi
dent McKInley and Mr. Roosevelt, and
the speeches of Republican Senators, and
quoted from the Republican campaign
book to show that a general policy of
colonialism and conquest was advocated
as Republican doctrine.
"The Idea that you can transform the
character of a race by teaching them to
read," said he, "is the wildest, craziest,
the most fantastic dream that ever flitted
through a lunatic's brain."
He quoted utterances from Mr. Roose
velt, charging that "treasonable" utter
ances had Incited tho Filipinos to insur
rection, and said that we must not judge
the President In his moments of oratorical
ferocity or when the frenzy of battle was
in his blood. The President was not vin
dictive, but simply "strenuous," and re
sembled, in his habits of speech, a cer
tain "Tennesseean" horse of which it
was said that running away was his nat
ural gait Mr. Roosevelt had habitually
spoken of the Filipinos as "savages," and
"barbarians" and "Apaches," and these
denunciations had been switteriwl thrrtinrh-
tout the islands to Inflamo the people
against tne united states. The effect of
the President's language had been to
harden and Intensify Filipino opposition
to American rule.
"Some of our military heroes had been
guilty of a like offense," said he. He re
ferred to a recent speech of General Fun
ston, whom he described as "the Jay
hawker Brigadier from the wind-swept
plains, the mightiest Samson that ever
wielded the JawVone of an ass as a
weapon of war."
Carmack said death had cheated Fun
ston of some illustrious victims, like ex
Senator Shorman-and ex-President Har
rison. But there were still enough to
keep him busy. Papers had quoted
Funston as saying the President entirely
approved his gallus speech and wanted
him to accept an Invitation from the
Junior Senator from Massachusetts to go
to Boston and talk to the people there
about hanging tho senior Senator from
Massachusetts, but the plain truth was
that Funston could not hang anybody.
Funston should go back to the Philip
pines to the land where there was plenty
of hemp and no Constitution.
"If men are to be hanged without re.
gard to law for speaking words calculated
to Incite Insurrection," said he, "the first
neck to feel the strangling clutch of the
soaped rope should be tho heroic gullet
of Funston."
Ever since he had been in the Philip
pines he had been pouring forth tirades
of Indiscriminate insult against the whole
people, and had outrageously insulted the
very men upon whom the commission
was relying for aid In pacifying the
country. He also had It on the very high
est authority that a speech made -by the
Senator from Indiana (Beverldge) had
been circulated broadcast throughout the
country with an exceedingly pernicious ef
fect upon the natives.
The dominant Idea of the bill now be
fore the Senate, said he, was to exploit
the Philippines. It was proposed to make j
a wholesale grant of franchises and con
cessions and to dispose of the people's
lands to fore(gn syndicates and corpora
tions without giving the people themselves
any voice in the buslnesa. The "whole bill
was a pitiful evasion pf a plain duty. We
have a right to demand and the Filipinos
have a right to demand that the Admin
istration shall at least define Its policy
In the Philippines.
"Upon what fact or experience," he
asked, "did they base their "belief In the
purity of carpet-bag government?" He
spoke of the "horrors of carpet-bag gov
ernment In the South," and said "the Re
publicans gave no heed to the cry of an
oppressed and plundered people, though
they were their own people, pf their own
blood."
He declared that fr6m the very first
there has been a conspiracy to suppress
the truth and to whitewash every out
rage in the Philippines.
In conclusion he said that he had not
been Influenced In this matter by any low
desire for party advantage. He only
wished to see the country recalled from
the bloody doctrines of bloody men -and
return to the peaceful paths by which
she had ascended in safety and security
to glory and power.
Desiring to continue his speech tomor
row, Carmack, at 4:15 P. M., yielded the
4floor. The Senate went into executive ses
sion, and five 'minutes later adjourned.
SENT BACIC TO CONFERENCE.
House Insists on Its Disagreement to
Exclusion BUI.
WASHINGTON. April 25. The House
today passed 145 private pension bills, in
cluding bills to pension the widow of the
late. General William Ludlow "at $50 a
month, and the widow of the late "Par
son" Browrilow, of Tennessee, at
$30 ja raorith. The remainder of
the day was devoted to general
debate on , the agricultural ap
propriation bill. Lessler (Rep. N. Y.) dis
cussed the necessity for a new postofflce
at New York; Cochran (Dem. Mo.) the
trust question, and H. C. Smith (Rep.
Midh.) "good- roads."
The calendar was cleared without a word
of debate lh two hours.
Tho conference report on the Chinese
exclusion bill was made by HItt (Rep.
111.). The. House insisted upon Its dis
agreement and the bill was sont back to
conference, the same conferees being ap
pointed. The hctise resumed general debate on
the agricultural appropriation bill. Cochran
made a speech on the universal spread of
trusts and combines In this country and
the necessity for curbing them. He de
clared that corporation lobbies were Re
publican in Republican states and Demo,
cratic in Democratic states, and that, al
though public sentiment demanded legis
lation It could not be obtained. Cochran
assailed the Senate. It was" a. matter of
public notoriety, he said, that in some
State Senatorshlps were bought and sold
just as produce was bought and sold In
the public market.
"Does anyone doubt," he asked, "that
one state Is now without Senatorial repre
sentation because a bargain cannot be
struck on the Senatorshlp?"
At 4:50 P. M. the House adjourned.
TELLER'S SUGAR INVESTIGATION.
Decision Reached by the Senate
Committee on Cuba.
WASHINGTON, April 25. The Senate
committee on Cuba today decided to in
stitute an Investigation Into the charge
that the greater part of the present crop
of Cuban sugar is held by the sugar trust
of this countryt as directed by the resolu
tion Introduced In the Senate by Mr.
Teller April 19.
The action of the committee was favor
able only to the first half of the resolu
tion, which provides for an inquiry affect
ing the present holding of Cuban sugar.
It was decided to strike out that portion
of the resolution requiring an Investiga
tion of the normal cost of making sugar
In Cuba, and also Into the general ques
tion of reciprocity with Cuba. The com
mittee held that those questions are al
ways before the' committee, and that to
adopt that portion of the resolution would
be equivalent to Instructing the commit
tee to perform Its ordinary duties.
A provision was added empowering the
committee to send for persons and papers
and a sub-committee, consisting of Sena
tors Piatt (Conn.), Brunham. and Teller,
was appointed to hear, the testimony.
Senator Piatt announced that it was his
purpose to extend all facilities to those
making the charge that the Cuban plant
ers would not get the benefit of the pro
posed reduction In duty to prove these
charges, adding that he would do all in
hlB power to render the inquiry ex
haustive. .

x HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA PROMISES TO, CURE AND
CHOICE OF CANAl ROUTES
PRESIDENT "WILL SUBMIT THE TWO
AGREEMENTS TO CONGRESS.
Comparisdn of the Outlines of the
Treaties Made With Colombia,
Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-2The Cabinet
held a short session today, during which
the relative propositions of the Colombian
and Nlcaraguan Governments In connec
tion with the proposed canal were dis
cussed. Both will be at once submitted to
Congress. The President- Is exceedingly
anxious, whatever determination Consrcss
may come to as to the relative merits of
the two routes, that some decision may be
reached at this session.
A comparison of the outlines of the
agreements or treaties made by the State
Department with Colombia in relation to
the Panama Canal, and with Nicaragua
and Costa Rica as to the Nicaragua
Canal, shows a general resemblance In the
scope of the arrangements, but Important
differences In detail. One point of re-
I semblance is the amount of money to be
paid down at once by the United States
Government to the country making the
concession. In each case this being $7,
000,000. If the Panama route is chosen,
Colombia gets all of this money. If the
choice falls on tire Nicaragua route, Nica
ragua will receive $6,000,000 and Costa
Rica $1,000,000.
A good deal of the delay that has oc
curred In consummating the arrangements
was owing to the difficulty in reaching a
basis of division as between Nicaragua
and Costa Rica, and this is generally fixed
upon as about six to one In favor of
Nicaragua.
No- provision is made in the Colombian
protocol for the payment of any annual
rent; that matter will be left to future
adjustment, though, of course, It Is ex
pected that some rent will be charged.
The agreements as to the Nicaragua
Canal, however, specifically state the rent
to be paid, which Is $30,000 per annum, of
which Nicaragua will get about $25,000 and
Costa Rica $5000. While this rent Is mere
ly nominal, It serves a useful purpose In
the estimate of the isthmian republics,
namely, to continually assert the nominal
sovefelgnty of Nicaragua and Costa Rica
over the territory through which the
canal Is cut. The original proposition was
to pay a lump sum representing the cap
italization of this rent for 100 years, but
the republics prefer to have the money
paid yearly In recognition of their sov
ereignty, and In consideration of the al
lowance of their wish In this matter they
have gone to the length of making the
lease to the United States perpetual as
against the 100-year renewable lease cf
the Colombian agreement.
Neither of tho Ministers Nlcaraguan or
Costa RIcan has y.et received the full
powers from his Government necessary to
the perfection of the treaties.
The question of the fiscal agency In
the Philippines also was discussed by the
Cabinet, but no conclusion was reached,
and it was stated that none can be until
the Attbrney-General renders opinions on
the power of the Guaranty Trust Com
pany to keep Its agency.
CALLED ON THE PRESIDENT.
New Yorkers Told of the Feeling at
Charleston.
WASHINGTON, April 23. The President
received a delegation consisting of mem-,
bers of the Merchants' Association of New'
York, the Chamber of Commerce and the
Cotton0 Exchange, accompanied by ladies.
The delegation is on Its way home from
a visit to the Charleston Exposition, and
numbered about 40. William F. King,
chairman of the delegation from the
Merchants' Association, addressed the
President, saying among other things:
"During our stay in Charleston we were
deeply touched by the many cordial and
feeling expressions we received, and which
you aroused by your visit to the exposi
tion. At a banquet which we attended,
everyone who spoke, spoke most feelingly
of you. I believe their exposition is a
new day for the South."
The President responded as follows:
"Mr. King, Ladles and Gentlemen I ap
preciate very much your visit to me, and
I am glad you were down at Charleston.
I was deeply touched by the reception I
met there a reception not personal to me,
but given to me as representing the Nation
to which all of us belong, and all the parts
of which, and the success of any
part of which, are. matters of
pride for every one of us, every
where. I feel In the strongest way
that nothing can be more Important than
the building up of the great Industrial
organizations of the South just such
organizations as we represent here today.
I thank you for calling on me. You rep
resent bodies of the kind that have made
New York's greatneBs what it is. As
regards what Mr. King said concerning
the expressions used by the people of
Charleston about me, I can only say that
I am going to do my best to serve them
and to do all that I can In keeping up
the wonderful prosperity, material and
moral, of our country." (Applause.)

WARNER'S SAFE CURE
No. l&l Piopelle Street, Detroit. Mich. November 21. 1901.
Gentlemen: A year ago I had a bad attack of malaria, which afTected my kidneys
In fact, my entire system. I was troubled with excruciating pains in the back;
I lost my appetite, became irritable, nervous and unable to attend to my duties. My
doctors could do nothing for me: Fortunately for me a friend, on whom I called,
had a bottle of Warner's Safe Cure In the house and gave me a dose to try it. i
felt the effects immediately, and I ordered a large bottle and, took it faithfully. I
kept on improving, and before the third bottle was UPed I was well and frit as
though new life and strength had been given me. My' old vigor and enthusiasm had
returned, as did my appetite. Your Safe Cure is Indeed a true friend to suffering
humanity, and better than any other medicine I know of.
Yours gratefully. THOMAS S. REATH, President Detroilt Travelers Club.

"I was all run down, had no appetite and could
not sleep. I had the bh:cs and felt as though
I did not have a friend In the world. I was
troubled very badly with catarrh in the head,
and this was beginning to affect my stomach.
Previous to this I had suffered.a, great deal from
bolls on my back and arms, and I had a felon
on my thumb. I was almost crazy, and did not
care whether I lived or died. One day I was
told of some one who had taken Hood's Sarsa
parilla. and I concluded to try It When I had
taken nearly all of the first bottle I began to
feel better, and I procured another bottle. When
I had taken half of this my appetite returned,
and I could cat with relish anything that was
set before me. I grew stronger and gained 25
pounds In my weight in six months. My com
plexion became clear, and my cheeks and lips
were red. I take from three to four bottles of
Hood's Sarsaparllla every year, and regard it
as the best of medicines." Mrs. Ada B. Schell
