STRONGEST FORT TAKEN at the White House until 11:30 o'clock. The dispatch from General Chaffee, giving" the result of General Davis' campaign In Mindanao, was a source of great satis faction to the officials, although they re gretted exceedingly that It became neces sary to fight In order to compel submis sion to the Americans for the surrender of those guilty of the murder of Ameri can soldiers. Secretary Root declined to say -whether any additional Instructions had been given to General Chaffee for his guidance. It Is probable that General Chaffee's future action will be left largely to his own discretion. The President has great respect for General Chaffee's tact. r Governor Taft was "very well satisfied with the latest news from General Chaf fee. It was a cause for congratulation, he said. He believed the effect of what had been accomplished would be benefi cent and would settle affairs In Mindanao. I DEATH WAS SUDDEN Their Power Overthrown by a Gallant Charge.

The War De partment today received a cablegram from General Chaffee, indicating that the cam paign against Sultan Bayan, one of the principal Moro chiefs, has been complete ly successful. The result was accom plished by a gallant asault on the princi pal Moro fort and Its capture, after a number of the leading Moros had been killed. The cablegram, which was received this afternoon, was as follows: 'Adjutant-General, Washington Fol lowlngjs .the full substance of Brigadier General George W. Davis message "rom"" Bayan: "EigHty-four suVvivors Bayan surren dered unconditionally this morning at 7 o'clock. Sultan Bayan, Raja Munda Bay an, Sultan Randapatan and all leading Dattos dead and many of their followers. Assault on the principal fort, which sur rendered last night, one of the most gal lant performances of American arms. Colonel Frank D. Baldwin and his regi ment deserve all praise for hand-to-hand struggle in four lines of ditches under walls of fort. These trenches are lined with Moro dead from rifle Are. Have never seen or heard of any performance excelling this gallant fight. "It was my painful duty o report that the overthrow. of Moro power was not ac complished without severe loss. One offi cer and seven enlisted men killed; four officers and 30 enlisted men wounded! Will telegraph list later. "After S4 survivors marched out this morning as prisoners and was understood they, were all, eight others, who had con cealed themselves in rubbish Inside the fort, made a break for liberty, but not succeeded. Some Moro wounded tried to stab soldiers trying to help them. It is Impossible to state number of Moros killed, many lying In tall grass. The sur render saves us from siege and starving out. Impossible to have carried works without scaling ladders, -which were ready. Intend to retain prisoners until two or three small adjacent forts occu pied, then will consent to their release, holding as hostages eight or ten of the principals, and release the others. "The force in line of advance consisted of four mountain guns, 470 rifles. This fully sufficient. Could not have used more men advantageously. Had we sent strong column It would only have swelled casualty list. One neighboring Datto has already represented himself as a friend, and I expect a general coming-in shortly. when the weight of the blow Is known. The dead sent to Malabang for burial. "In -light of present knowledge could havo besieged the principal fort, and In time forced the surrender, but that would probably have resulted In a sortie fdr freedom, and escape for many. By attack ing them they have been completely crushed the only kind of" lesson these wild Moros seem to be able to profit by. Shall Invite Sultan Tarlac to pay me a friendly visit; if he does not tell us of his Initiative. Has fort further east In plain sight, and of same strength as was Bayan, on beautiful table land, thousand acres, fine upland .rice, and urging people to return to its cultivation. . . . The re sult to follow this action very important, namely. It secures respect for United States authority in the center of Moro savagery. CHAFFEE." The Dead and "Wounded Officers. MANILA, May 4.

" ing, if anything,' better than for several days. During the night, however, he seemed to lose all his energy, and this morning was unable to leave his room. He gradually grew weaker during the day, ana" dt 5:40 o'clock this evening he suf fered a sudden collapse, from which he expired. Mrs. Palmer and their two sons, Honore and Potter, Jr., were with Mr. Palmer when he died. Mr. Palmer's condition had not been re garded as .extremely serious, even by the family physician. Dr. Henry B. Faviil. Saturday night Mr. Palmer suffered from a fever. His temperature then was 100, and by this morning was 101, but Dr. Fa vil!t while unable to account for the pres ence of this fever, did not feel that it in dicated serious results. This afternoon, Mrs. Palmer noticed symptoms of sinking in Mr. Palmer, and became much alarmed. Dr. Faviil could not be found, and Dr. George P. Marquis was called. He reached the Palmer residence at 4 o'clock, and af ter a brief examination of the patient, advised Mrs. Palmer that he could hold out no hope. Mr. Palmer had seemed to fall asleep at 3 o'clock, although it was fatal unconsciousness, and so remained until the end. Just after Mr. Palmer's death, Dr. Faviil arrived at the residence. After a brief conference with Dr. Marquis, he an nounced that death was due to heart fail ure. He discovered a slight disorder of the lungs that gave some Indication of incipient pneumonia, possibly' brought on by an attack of grip, suffered several months ago, but not sufficient to nave brought tho speedy end. News of the death spread rapidly over the city, and Intimate friends of the Palmer family called at the home early. Old-time associates of Mr. Palmer, such as Judge Lambert TJree, Marshall Field, Levi Z. Lelter and fcrskine Phelps were informed. Robert T. Lincoln, H. H. Kohl saat and R. "W. Patterson called. It was at first Intended by the family to prepare an official statement as to Mr. Palmer's death, which should Incorporate tho views of the attending physicians, but this plan was changed, and Mrs. B. L. Honore gave out such statements as were desired. She said nothing could have been more of a. surprise to the family and that she was positive that Mr. Palmer himself had never realized that death was near. Mr. Palmer's fortune Is estimated at $25, 000,000. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral, but In all probability ho will be buried in Chicago, where he ac cumulated his fortune. (Potter Palmer was born at Rensselaer ville, N. T., in 1835. He was the son of a farmer. He clerked In a store and af terward In a bank at Dunkirk, N. "Y. Ho engaged inf business in Oneida County, New York, and later at Lockport, N. Y. He removed to Chicago and established the leading dry goods house there, which later became Field, Palmer & Lelter. He retired from the firm In liSCT, and invested his fortune in real estate and its Im p'rovemenL In 1S71 he married Bertha Honore, of Chicago.

MAY BOYCOTT THE TRUST Sfevr York Butchers Considering How to Deal With the Situation. NEW YORK, May4. Over 400 kosher butchers, members of the craft, met today to consider the high price of meats. A proposition received, with much favor was to close the butcher ehops entirely during the prevalence of high prices. Another equally well-received proposition was to establish 6ne store in each block and to have the butchers from other stores work together. It was finally decided to place the matter In the hands of a committee of 20 to 'report to a meeting tomorrow. The commltteo wds Instructed to communicate with the Allied Butchers' Association of Greater New York and endeavor to have them send representatives to the meetings. It was said at today's meting that the average sales of the kosher butchers in ordinary times were GOO.COO pounds a week, but that at present the sales are barely 300,000 pounds. Appeal in Favor of the Trout. MONTROSE, Colo., May 4. The Mont rose Cattle and Horse Growers' Associa tion, as its annual meeting in this city, adopted resolutions declaring that the alleged combination of packers to control prices of beef has been working in the Interest of stockgrowers, and that pres ent prices of meats are only sufficient to give fhe growers a fair profit, and ap pealing to the press and the public to cease aggressive action to break up the alleged combination. Xo Corqnntion Stamps. LONDON, May 4. The hopes of the philatelists of a special coronation stamp havo been dashed by the announcement that the British Postmaster-General does not Intend either to print a coronation set or Issue a special stamp for common use In the United Kingdom and the colonies, but will adhere to the regular penny postal rate. The plan for a common stamp has been destroyed, as it is not considered desirable. v LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 4. The days just past -have been so full of club busi ness and general federation work, mingled with an exchange of views on the color line, chance chats with friends from here, there and everywhere, that it is well that tho majority of the delegates are trained clubwomen, for the untried would have fallen by the wavsJde. The city haa been gay with fiesta colors, yellow and. olive and crimson, representing tho orange, olive and wine. Intermingled with- federation emblems, flags and floral decorations. Helen Hunt Jackson. In "Ra mona," speaks of the golden, hillsides of this region, but her meaning never could, be realized until the fields and hillsides covered with wild mustard are viewed. We from afar were surprised at the charming effect obtained by Its use for decoration purposes. These golden oflwere with palms and the graceful pepper boughs call for numberless complimentary remarks and exclamations of admiration. But we of Oregon and Washington, es pecially the latter, have a grievance. Cali fornlans and the people generally do not seem to know what part of the earth wa come from, nor the magnitude and Im portance of the great states we represent. "What state are you from?" asked a lady today. "From Washington," wag the reply. "Indeed. I have a friend in that beauti. ful city." "But, madam, I am from. "Washington State, not Washington, D. C" "Oh, yes; I remember; it's Washington Oregon." Could anything be more humiliating than such an experience? Moral Let the Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade and business houses advertise our spates as California,. Colo rado and others do. This would be a. grand opportunity to advertise and make known our coming Lewis and Clark Cen tennial. I return every night from the annex 'to our Auditorium with my hands full of beautifully devised souvenirs of places of interest which have been placed for distribution. Why has Portland failed to utilize thla great gathering of the rep resentative women of "America Indeed of the world women of wealth and Influence, who will return to their homes to tell of this famous country and its resources? I. have wished that the women of our own Oregon federation had taken the opportunity to place in the pressroom May copies of our dub journal. We need not wonder that we are overwhelmedby the seeming Importance of other states in comparison. It is for us to establish our selves by our own enterprise and" fore thought. A Memorable Day. Yesterday was a memorable day In tho convention, and the evenings session the best of all. Brilliant is the one word that will adequately describe last night's ses sion of the federated clubs at Simpson Auditorium. Mrs. May Alden Ward, of Boston, was chairman of the evening. Mrs. Mabel Loomls Todd who with her husband shone prominently In the literary astro, nomlcal wsrld, came down from the stars and talked to us on "Letter Writing a Lost Art." She referred to the decline of letter writing as a melancholy fact, and her samples of all sorts of letters were irresistibly funny. Her audience was In constant laughter. Mrs. Southwicke gave an excellent in terpretation of Faust and the last speaker of the evening was John Fox, Jr., author of "Hell for Sartln" and other Kentucky stories. Mr. Fox has recently become famous as a dialect writer of mountaineer stories. He was a Bough Rider with Roosevelt In Cuba. He gave a short account Of the origin of the mountain whites and their characteris tics. He thought them (interesting as a relic of the old Anglo-Saxdn, and he say3 many of their words are the same as Chaucer used. There are 3,000,000 ot them. To illustrate their Ignorance, once after a circuit rider had related the story of tho crucifixion with wonderful power, an oldv woman said, "You say it happened a long time ago?" "Yes, almost 2000 years ago." "Wftll. straneer let hb hnno It nln'f on 'Air. Fox read several selections from his book, "Hell for Sartln," among which, is "Preachln' in Kingdom Come," ex plaining that "Hell for Sartln" and "Kingdom. Come" are names of creeks, and that the first flows into the latter. Today the delegates have been the guests of the churches, special services and music having- been arranged at many of the churches. A large audience listened to Rev. J. S. Thompson at the Simpson Auditorium on "Woman's Hemisphere," and at the First Presbyterian Church an equally interested number listened to Rev. Robert J. Burdette. Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden gave an address at the First Methodist Church, tonight, Mrs. Robert Burdette presiding, while Mrs. May Alden spoke on "Voices of Today," and Miss Jane Adams ad dressed an audience at the Y. W. C. A. This Week's "Work. Tomorrow -comes the great question of reorganization, with other important amendments, and there will be a flood of oratory, we have no doubt, though it i3 the general opinion that the color ques tion will be very quietly settled or rather skillfully ignored. The nominating committee will meet Tuesday. Mrs. C. B. Wade will repre sent Oregon. Mrs. Robert Burdette has practically withdrawn her name as a presidential candidate, and until yesterday lt seemed as If Mrs. Denison would be the chosen one, but the friends of Mrs. Piatt Decker are very determined to se cure her nomination, and we hear that r N (Concluded on Fifth Page.)
