PHILIPPINES AND CUBA. Attended Church Where Cardinal Gibbons Preached on Itochain- - beau's Service In OufRevolu- tlo'n -Will Tour East. WASHINGTON, May 2a. The membersl or tne j?Tencn mission which came to Washington to attend the ceremonies In cident to the unveiling of the Rochambeau etatue, finished their visit here today, and tonight left the city for Niagara Falls, on their tour of the East before returning &ome. There were no formal functions on the programme for today, but the visitors found every minute of their time oc cupied In attending divine service, re turning numerous calls, official and other wise, and In drives and rides about the city and suburbs. Ambassador Cambon accompanied the members of the mission to St. Patrick's Church at 10 o'cIock In the morning, where low mass was said by Rev. Dr. 3langlen, of Baltimore, Right Rev. Mon slgnor Rooker, of the apostolic delegation, and other priests, assisting. The visitors wore tho full uniform of their rank. Cardinal Gibbons preached a short ser mon. Of Rochambeau he said in part: 'Without detracting from the merits of his brothers In arms, I can affirm that Rochambeau was the flower of the French allied army. Mature in years, experienced in military campaigns; a veteran of the seven years war, calm, deliberate, self poised, he was a man, according to Wash ington's own heart, the General on whose counsel and prudence he could rely more than on that of any other commander. "When the American troops under Washington and the French forces under Rochambeau were on the march to York town, Washington gallantly proposed to give the post of distinction to the French Army. Rochambeau gracefully declined the honor, and in doing so he followed the impulses of his own heart, as well as the general Instructions he received from his government, that he should always sub ordinate himself to the American Commander-in-Chief. "The army of Cornwallls Tras surround ed on land by the French and American troops, and was prevented from escap ing to sea by the fleet of Admiral De Grasse, which guarded the Chesapeake 'Bay, and thus defeat of the English com mander was Inevitable and he surrendered ,hls sword to Washington. The capitula tion of Cornwallls was the most decisive event of the American revolution. "May the friendship subsisting between France and America-a friendship coeval with our history as a Nation a friendship to which we owe our existence as an In dependent and sovereign power may this historic friendship be perpetuated. May it be strengthened and consolidated by the iron bonds of commerce and by the golden links of brotherly love. May the two great Republics of the world go hand In hand In the march of liberty and progress and civ ilization. And may the monument erected to Rochambeau in the capital of the Na tion ever remind the American citizen who will contemplate it, of the everlast ing debt of gratitude which the United (States owes to France," - The weather was very warm during the afternoon, and some of the visitors pre ferred to rest while others made calls or took rides about the city and suburbs. Several of the party. Including the Count and Countess de Rochambeau and the Count de La Fayette, visited Arlington Cemetery and Fort Meyer. They were escorted through the grounds by Captain Lewis, of the Second Cavalry, Tooh; Ride With the President. An unexpected feature of the afternoon and one that pleased the visitors very much was the invitation from President Roosevelt to accompany him and several others on a horseback ride. The entire party assembled In front of the White House about 4' o'clock, the visitors In their uniforms making a very pretty pic ture. A photograph was taken of the group while there. The President guided the party through the northern section of the city until they reached the Zoological Park. While in the park a storm began to gather, and the party came home at a lively canter. The rain overtook them, however, and before reaching their stop ping place the entire party was drenched. Those on horseback were: President Roosevelt, his son Theodore and daughter Alice, Secretary Root and Senator Lodge and the following membeYs of the Ro chambeau mission; General Brugere, Vice Admlral Fournier, General Chalandar and Captain Lasson. During the recent visit of Prince Henry of Prussia to, Washington he was the guest ot, the President pn a horseback ride. On that occasion also 'a heavy rain Btorm overtook them, and they got a se vere wetting. The party left Washington at 7:?0 o'clock tonlghfrtnNIagara Falls, via the Penn sylvania road. Those going included all the members of the mission", Ambassador and Mme. Cambon, and the members of the staff of the French Embassy and the President's -commission. These and the Cnnal to Have Much of Senate's Time. WASHINGTON, May 25. From present indications the Senate will devote atu other full week. If not a longer time, to consideration of the Philippine bill. The. prediction Is freely made that a vote will not be reached before the middle of the following week. There are stllL a number of set speeches promleed on the bill, and come other Senators have not yet Indicated whether they will speak or not. Senator Burrows will be heard to morrow In advocacy of the bill, and among others who are expected to speak during the week are Senators Patterson, Pettus, Bailey and Bacon, In opposition to the bill, and Senator Spooner In its support. When th set speeches are dis posed of there will be an effort to se cure two or threo days' time for con sideration of amendments, allowing speeches not exceeding 10 or 15 minutes on each of them. It is not expected that there will be nny seesion Friday, Memorial day. There may be an effort to keep the Senate In session,- but this effort will be antag onized. The eontlnued deferment of the time for taking a vote on the Philippine measure has, caused considerable abatement In the preparation of the discussion of the Nica ragua. Canal bill and the Cuban reciproc ity bill, which will be taken up next in succession or Jointly. The beet-sugar people predict a month's debate on the Nicaragua bill, but this prediction Is not In accord with the views of the advocates of the Nicaragua bill or Its opponents on the Isthmian canal committee. Both these elements are now claiming a major ity, and are saying that the sooner the vote la reported the better they will be satisfied. The beet-sugar men, however, are counting confidently on the co-operation of the side that finds Itself In the minority In the matter of postponing the vote on the canal bill. In other words, the beet-sugar advocates welcome the Intro duction of any question that will defer consideration .of the Cuban bill, since they think that there will be no Cuban legis lation at all If the taking up of that question can be postponed until after the passage of all the appropriation bills. The appropriation bills should be passed before July 1 In 'order to supply money for the support of the Government after that date, and they consequently expect that considerable time will be given during June to the appropriation bllla remaining undisposed of. Thej count confidently on the early ad journment of Congress after the appropri ation bills are out of the way, and they hope that If after that time there shall be an effort to pass the Cuban bill. It will be incumbent on the friends of the bill to maintain a quorum In the Senate. "It would be hardly fair," said a beet sugar Republican Senator today, m dis cussing the contingency mentioned, "to expect the opponents of the proposed re duction to assist in prolonging a peeslon In midsummer for the purpose of passing a measure which they do not want to see enacted Into law." There is still a considerable element In the Senate opposed to tariff reduction, and it is asserted by the beet-sugar men that the 45 Republicans necessary to pass the bill have not yet been secured. It Is de clared, however, that a practically unani mous vote could be secured for a rebate measure. American Ships Attend the Gauloii. ANNAPOLIS, Md., May 25. The Amer ican escort to the Gaulois weighed anchor early this morning arid proceeded down the bay to the Virginia" Capes, where they will await the arrival of the visiting man-of-war. The Gaulois -did not leave her anchorage until several hours after the departure of the American ships. Admiral Higginson's squadron, the Olympia, fcear" earge and Alabama, will escort the Gau lpls to New York and Boston, and re main In attendance upon the visiting bat-tle-shjp until the Rochambeau "commis sion shall take its departure for home.

Let us put the brand of our disapproval on this course and settle It once for all. If we stand by and let this scheme suc ceedi the proud name which Oregon has had of being: a great Republican state will be gone, for wo will then be "a Democratlo state. The primaries held April 1 were the only lair primaries e el" 'held In the state.

This is the balance wheel, the safeguard In the system. Portland, May 25. A. M. S. t, m ;- LOUBET IN COPENHAGEN FRENCH PRESIDENT "VISITS KING 'OF THE DANES. Ralers Exchange Cordial Greeting People Show Attention to the National Visitors. COPENHAGEN, May 25. President Lou bet, who left Cronstadt May 23 for France on the French cruiser Montcalm, landed here today, after a -favorable and rapid Voyage through the Baltic As the Mont calm drew too much water to allow her to approach Copenhagen, President Lou bet was transferred to the torpedo-boat destroyer Caeslnl, which accompanied the Montcalm.

Secretary British Legation. BERLIN. May 23. Herbert Guy Deerlng. who has Just been appointed secretary ot OUR TRADE WITH PRANCE INCREASE IN USE OF AMERICAN OFARM IMPLEMENTS. Frenchmen, However, Do Not Handle Machines, Well Marseilles Even Imports Pacific Coast Prunes. WASHINGTON, May 23. In- a report made public by Frederick Emory, Chief of the Bureau of Foreign Commerce, re garding trade relations with France, it Is stated that nearly all the Consular of ficers In that country speak of the grati fying Increase In the importation of agri cultural machinery from the United States. Along the Loire River, our farm machines are in use everywhere, and ag ricultural implements are found in every county fair. The Importation of nearly all farm im plements. Commercial Agent Griffin, at Limoges, says, is a growing trade. Other manufacturers, nevertheless, would meet With even greater success If they made an attempt to study the conditions of the French trade, or to adapt their machines to French requirements. Consul Tourgee, of Bordeaux, notes that although there Is in that region a steady enlargement In the number of Implements ing German holders of Canadian Pacific to take their profits. The rise In this stock during the week was fi points. German state securities were weak, and required intervention buying to maintain quotations. The Saxon loan of 50,000,'JOO marks at 3 per cent will be subscribed May 23 at 90.60, and will be handled by a large group of banks In Berlin and Dres den. Industrials generally weakened. Earnings of those companies whose financial years ended June 30 will. It Is said, be quite disappointing. This refers particularly to Iron companies, the shares of which feili accordingly. The market takes a favorable view of the latest publication regarding the rela tions of the German steamship lines In connection with the navigation syndicate, and In consequence the shares of the Hamburg-American Steam Packet Com pany and the - orthern German Lloyd Line -were stronger than last week or for several weeks past The money market showg a firmer ten dency, and the rate of discount reached 2. The Frankfurter Zeltung believes that thia rate is likely to go rlgher, prin cipally because the demands of New York are making discounters more reserved. INVOKE LYNCH LAW.

Amid tsalutes and cheers from, the people, the Caislnl left here at 4:30 o'clock. admirably adapted for a line of railway. Seeing that the value of the coal was small without such a railway, he wrote President Van Home, of the Canadian Pacific Railway, calling his attention to the coal discovery. It seems strange to day to have to report that the reply he received was that the Canadian Pacific had no Interests in that part of the country. Then began those weary days uwhen Colonel Baker's was as the voice of one speaking In the wilderness. He preached of the richness of the Crow's Nest and the need of the road of steel. He worked also at exploring the route of the proposed line from the pass to Koo tenay Lake, and found no' difficulties to speak of.. Then he tried the Canadian Pacific Railway again, and Mr. Van Home was obliged to give in to him. The railway man sent an expert, Mr. Reld, of Montreal, to make a rough sur vey of the pass. Mr. Reld came, saw and was conquered. His report was eminent ly favorable. But Colonel Baker's diffi culties were far from being at an end. British Columbia was not then sought by many miners. Much had to be endured be fore a railway was running through the pass, Ferale established, and the mines opened up. Starting: the Railroad. The first thing to be done was to se cure a charter for a railway. Being the member for South East Kootenay, Col onel Baker. Introduced the British Colum bia Southern Railway bill Into the House of Victoria for a line to be 170 miles long. Ho then went to London to get capital the Canadian Pacific Railway being still disinclined to take the matter up. He was Informed by the financiers that he must get assistance from the provincial legislature, and he came back for that purpose, and was successful. He ob tained land grants, and, of course. In those grants much of the coal land was included. Soon after the .passage of the subsidy act, the Crow's Nest Coal Company was formed, which purchased from the gov ernment 10,000 acres ofi the coal lands that Fernle and Baker found. The latter went to London to float his company, but was headed off by the Canadian Pa cific Railway, which, while not then able to go In for the railway construction, still did not desire that outsiders should get hold of what might be and did become a most valuable portion of Its territory. This was in 1S91. Colonel Baker had al most succeeded In getting a wealthy syn dicate to Interest Itself In the matter, when this disappointment came to him.

He "Was Commended by Czar Vari ous Disturbance!. ST. PETERSBURG. May 25. A report has reached here of an attempt to assas sinate Prince Obolensky. Governor of the Department of Kharkoff, who was com mended by the Czar for suppressing the rioting among the peasants of that dis trict. Lieutenant - General von Wahl, Gov ernor, 'of Vllna, whose assassination was attempted recently on account of his wholesale flogging of poj lltlcal prisoners, many "of whom were educated, and who, according to cus tom, were therefore exempt from flogging, justifies these punishments on the ground that he was ordered to inflict them by M. von Plehwe. the Minister of the In terior. Peasant political prisoners have also been whipped at Bielostook and other Polish 'towns. Eighty persons who were arrested for taking part In revolutionary disturbances at Saratoff, were confined In a private building there. A number of rioters con centrated in the vicinity ot the building, contemplating a release. The rioter? tfere charged several times by the troops be fore they dispersed and the liberation of the prisoners was thU3 prevented. Armed with daggers and sticks, the townspeople of Chlrsel, In the Caucasus, have liberated a score of prisoners who asserted they were innocent. PEACE IS NEAR. Briton and Boer May Reach Agree ment Any Momcjat. PRET6r1a May 23. The Boer deputa tion Is still here, and the conferences at Vreenlglng continue. Nothing definite as tc the result Is known, but it Is believed the negotiations are proceeding favorably. At the celebration of Victoria day yester day, a large crowd gathered in the square here, expecting" to hear a proclamation of peace. There were no disturbances.

The railway refused to be bound by the onerous con ditions, as It had obtained a charter from the British Columbia Legislature cover ing all the work that It desired to do, and It has now proceeded so far w 1th its line that the boundary will be cached and the mines have connection with the American side. The Coal Creek mine, where the calam ity happened, was being specially opened up, so that all might be in readiness for shipment of coal and coke as soon as tho steel was laid.

After many weeks of anxious waiting;' tho peace announce ment has finally crystallized Into a strong upward movement on the stock exchange. In spite of the lack of definite news, of ficial or otherwise, from Pretoria, tho market assumed strength on the general indications that peace was assured. The buoyant tone in nearly all the deoart ments has been Increasing steadily throughout the past week, so when the official announcement of peace comes, the boom will probably already be In full swlhg, and every reasonable advance will be fully discounted. As for weeks past the market is still indebed to the bank by over 2,000.000, while the slow government disbursements render the repayment of this Indebtedness difficult. While the announcement of peace ia expected to hasten the lull resumption of work in the Rand, It Is likely that the Industrial requirements of the reconstruc tion period In South Africa will absorb quite v.s much caBh as the mines produce in gold for the remainder ot the present year. There is consequently little pros pect for easy money unless gold shall come from the Continent. It is assumed that New York is more likely to demand gold than to send It here. Buying, which has lately been restricted to gilt-edge investment stock. Is now ex tendinc to the more speculative issued. Home rails have made advances, and It is known that many- new Issues of capital are pending, and this knowledge renders buyers chary. The future course of the American sec tion of the market Is a matter fit some doubt, although this section wIU probably follow the upward tide. Americans have certainly been stronger during the past week oh the strength of easier money in Wall street, and the encouraging crop report. Tho outlook for Northern Pacific is much better than It was, but the ex tension of the coal strike in the United States is worrying a good many operators. Canadian Pacifies were strong last week, and touched 129 on further New York pur chases. While mining-shares had a cheerful tone, the public Is still holding off. and the ad vances so far consist principally of mark ing UP prices by the holders. German Bourse Stagnant. BERLIN, May 25. The Bourse remained stagnant during the past week, and was without a new or striking feature. Can adian Pacifies were again to .the forefront in interest, Berlin selling to New York takers. The financial prese is now advis- He went to New York, Chicago, St. Paul and San Francisco, but everywhere found that the -great railway corporation was too much for him. Finally, Colonel Bak er and other shareholders communicated with Mr. Howland, of Toronto; with Messrs. Hanson and GaUlt, of Montreal, and the Messrs. Coates & Co., the well known London bankers. An arrangement wa3 made whereby the , shareholders of tho British Columbia Southern Railway relinquished five-sixths of the stock of the company on condition that the rail way should be proceeded with,, and that $40,000 should be expended on the line at once. This was done. Then came the failures of so many American railways, and the appointment of receivers. The financial depression which was coincident prevented anything being done under the new arrangement and finally the Cana dian Pacific Railway had to be Inter viewed again. The great railway thought the time had about come when the line should be built, and It stepped up to the mark. The Canadian Pacific was given the option to take over the line on con dition that it should pay the sharehold ers tho amount thoy had expended on surveys, etc. It may seem strange that all this trou ble was taken for Just a line of railway, but the shareholders In the British Co lumbia Southern Were also the share holders In the coal company, and they had to have the line. The railway is now running, and the coal mines also. Most of tho shares of the coal cdmpany are held In the East, but not a few local people made competencies out of them when the stock went sky high after the building of tho line. Some sensational Incidents occurred when the Eastern peo ple got possession of the coal company. There was great rivalry In Toronto and Montreal to secure the coal company. An organization was formed in Toronto, with Messrs. Janes & Lukes In It- But they failed to bring their scheme to a suc cessful Issue, and Robert Jaffray and Senator Cox secured the company, in terested with them were other well known Eastern capitalists. When the Dominion government saw how valuable the coal fields were likely to be. Hon. Mr. Blair, Minister of Railways, made It a condition that some of the coal fields should be given up to the Dominion, and this was done. It was only the other day that the Dominion made Its selection. Colonel Baker and Mr. Fernle are men of means today. Colonel Baker has re tired from the stormy political arena, and Is able to look back though not, per haps, without a shudder at the hard times he passed through when trying to carry his scheme to a successful conclu sion. William Fernle Is one of the most honored ot the fast-decreasing roll of East Kootenay pioneers, and he loves to still dwell In the region tor hi3 early ex plorations. Of International Interest. This disaster at Femle goes home to Americans as well as to Canadians. When J. J. Hill was looking around for freight to fill his cars in the Northwest, he saw that Fernie offered a splendid field for the Great Northern. He prompt ly bought a considerable number of shares, and Is building a railway to con nect with the boundary line, to which the Crow's Nest Coal Company Is also lovinir n tnpl wrv. When Mr. Hill start- pd what some call his invasion of thel Prow's Nest coal fields, he found that the hand of the 'Canadian Pacific was still over the Crow's Nest, despite the fact that the coal company had become Yich enough to ba no longer afraid In any way of the Canadian corporation. The Canadian Pacific Railway saw in the Great Northern a very formidable trade rival, and an agitation was started, the object of which was to make the country fearful of letting its coal and coke go across the border. It was suggested that the smelte.rs of the boundary and trail dis tricts of Canada would suffer by all the fuel going across the line, and tho matter became such an acute subject of discus- United States In the difficult position which, as the Dallv Chronicle reminds Its readers, la now the most exacting in the diplomatic service and quite different from the time when Lord Stratford de Radcliffe described the Washington Le gation as "very pleasant socially, but not requiring any great talents politically." Naturally the occasion leads to the re viewing of the various stormy questions Lord Pauncefote had to deal with and some little resentment Is still displayed over the manner In which Lord Sackvllle West, British Minister at Washington from 1SS1 to 1SSS, was dismissed. But these allusions are only made to empha size the credit due Lord Pauncefote for the good relations now existing between Great Britain and the United States. The Chronicle says: "He will be re membered as the first and best Ambas sador that this or any other country ever accredited to the great Republic" The Standard says: "Perhaps the most eloquent form of praise of Lord Paunce fote can take is to observe that he left relations between Great Britain and the United States so smooth that It may ap pear ungracious to revive memories of a time when they were troubled." The Dally Telegraph says: "It Is not too much to say that the last of the great Ambassadors has disappeared. Lord Pauncefote will always be remembered as the pioneer of the supreme pact of per petual friendship between Great Britain and America, which will some day be ac-romTilished."
