' s XHB. MOKNING OEEGONIAN- TUESDAY. JONE 3, 1902: RELIEF TO SETTLERS Favorable Report on an Ore gon Bill. IT BENEFITS SHERMAN COUNTY "nterior Department's Finding: In the Dulles WaRon Road Matter Mcnim Mcanure Will Be Reported to the Senate. WASHINGTON, June 2 Senator Mitch ell has secured from the Interior Department a favorable report on his bill for the relief of the Sherman County settlers, and on this it is expected the Senate committee -will report the bill to the Senate. The bill is intended to bene fit settlers who entered upon and im proved land within the grant to The Dalles Military Wagon Road Company, which lands are also -within the with drawal for the Northern Pacific Bail road Company, and comprise that portion of its grant which was forfeited because of nonconstruction. Under a decision of the department, the lands forfeited by the Northern Pacitlc reverted to the United States and became a part of the public domain. They were later opened to disposal, and numerous pereons settled upon and made entries thereof, some of which were patented. Subsequently the Supreme Court sustained the claims of the Eastern Land Company, as- successors of The Dalles Military Wagon- Road Company. Such of the settlers as established residence and made Improvements upon the lands, and such as made entries and Improvements pursuant to the rulings of the department, and whose claims have failed, are entitled to relief, but as shown "by the Investigation, some of the parties named In the bill purchased from the Military Road Company prior to restora tion of the lands to entry and now held Iy the -company. Others have purchased from the company since the decisions of the Supreme Court, and a considerable number made their entries under the pro visions of the forfeiture act of Septem ber 29, 1S90, which authorized entries by parties who settled upon the lands with the Intention of purchasing from the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. The first-mentioned class hold the land by purchase, and are therefore entitled to the sum they paid the- Government when making their entries. This can be secured by an application for repayment under existing laws. The second class ate aLso in possession of the land and Im provements, and are also entitled to the sum they were required to pay the com pany In order to protect themselves. The third class settled upon the land prior to the restoration, and are entitled to com pensation the same as homesteaders for the period dating fro'm the restoration, that is, for the value "of the land and for Improvements thereon, made after the restoration, at the time of the ouster, or la case they have not been ousted, at the time of the passage'Of the act. The relief intended to be conferred by the bill is limited to those persons whose names are mentioned in two executive documents referred to In the bill, while others settled on the lands and applied to enter, but -were unable to get their claims of record, and these also should be' afforded relief. The bill ywlll therefore be amended, and be extended to include such other persons as settled upon and Improved said lands after their restora tion to entry by order of the Secretary of the Interior, but were unable to get their claims of record. A section will also be added that no compensation shall be allowed to those persons who purcl.ised from The Dalles Military1 Wagon iToad Company, or Its successor, prior to the restoration of said lands to entry, and that compensation allowed those parties who purchased from the Eastern Oregon Land Company between January 8, 1900, and March 14, 1902, is not to exceed the amount paid by such parties to said company, and that the compensation on account of Improve ments shall be the value of improvements placed thereon between the date of the restoration of said lands to entry and the date of ouster, or. In case there has been no ouster, the date of passage of this act. Rehearing: in Portland Case. Senator Mitchell in the Supreme Court today obtained leave to file a motion for review In the case of Lee Lung against L L. Patterson, Collector of Customs at Portland, and the mandate directing the deportation of Lee Lung's wife and child will be -withheld until the motion for re bearing can be passed upon at the October term. MILITARY ROAD LANDS. Moody's Report Quoting- Hermann and Hitchcock, Favoring: Settlers. WASHINGTON, May 27. In reporting bis bill for the relief of settlers- upon The Dalles military road lands, Repre-" scntatve Moody quotes, from letters of Secretary Hitchcock and Commissioner Hermann, recommending the passage of the bill. Commissioner Hermann's letter ib as follows: "I presume that the lands referred to in said resolution are those lands within the overlapping limits of that portion of the grant made by the act of July 2, 1S64, to aid In the construction of the Northern Pac.fic Railroad, which was forfeited and restored to the public domain by the act cf September 29. 1890. and the grant made by the act of July 25. 1S6C, to aid in the construction of the Oregon .& California Railroad. Also the lands within the con flicting limits of the forfeited portion of the grant to the Northern Pacific Rail road rnd the grant made by the act of February 25. 1SC7, to aid In the construction of The Dalles military road. "It Mas formerly held by the department that because of the fact that the grant to a.d In the construction of the Northern Pcifi" Railroad was prior in point of time it defeated the grants to aid In the con struction of the Oregon & California Rail road nd The Dallei military road to the extent of the overlap, and following the passage of the forfeiture act of Sepetmber 29, 1SS0. supra, the unpatented lands, with said conflicting limits, were ordered re stored to entry as part of the forfeited lands. "Suit was Instituted by the United States against the Oregon & California Railroad Company to recover the title to the lands within the overlap patented to the com pany, and this suit resulted in a decision by the Supreme Court in favor of the company. "So far as an examination of the tract books of this office show, no entries ap pear to have been allowed under said de partmental ruling for the lands within the overlap, which inured to the Oregon & California Railroad Company. "None of the lands within the overlap of the Northern Pacific Ritilroad and The Dalles military road were patented, and following the restoration a large num ber of entries for the lands were allowed, and In a, number of cases patents Issued on the entries. "Subsequently the Eastern Oregon Land Company, successor to The Dalles Military Road Comrany, instituted proceedings against two of the patentees, and the suits were decided by the Supreme Court in fa vor of the company. "Following the decisions cited, this office canceled a number of the unpatented en tries covering the lands, which were found upon examination to have Inured to the wagon road company under its grant. Some few entries are tlll pending before thisofllce." Secretary Hitchcock makes the following comments: "The purpose of the bill Is a worthy one and should be expressed In a law which will give the Intended relief to all who were misled by the departmental action In the two Instances named. The pending bill is Imperfect in that it only relates to those who made homestead entry and does not inciude the equally meritorious cases where qualified homesteaders made settle ment and Improvement with a view to entry. "The bill Is also limited as respects the Wisconsin Central grant to entries 'of lands appearing, on November 2. 1S9L by the records of the Interior Department, as forfeited Omaha lands.' No element of forfeiture was Involved. "The only question was whether the lands were excepted from the Wisconsin Central grant by reason of their prior withdrawal for the benefit of the Omaha grant The department, taking the affir mative view of this question and finding that the lands were not needed to satisfy the Omaha grant, restored them to settle ment and entry by order of October 22, 1SS1. which took effect November 2, 1S9L The Supreme Court. June 3. 1S95, in the For sythe case, held that the lands were not exceptrd from the Wisconsin Central grant, but were embraced therein, and thus those who had made settlement or entry under the order of November 2, 1S9L were prevented from obtaining title under the public land laws, and if they obtained title to the lands uprn which they had set tled and erected Improvements, they did so by purchaso from the Wisconsin Cen tral Company. "I respectfully recommend the passage of the bill." Representative Moody has the follow ing to say: "There has never been any question in the minds of those posted upon the sub ject or the rights of settlers upon the pub lic domain under the provisions and limi tations of the laws relating to pre-emption and homesteadlng, that the provisions for the relief of settlers upon lands grant ed to railroads, who, without fault upon their part, and who In all rcepects were actual settlers, lost their right, should as well extend to settlers upon wagon roads aided by grants and in all respects like the grant-aided railroads. The Justice in j this bill Is apparent upon the most cur sory investigation of the subject. "There is appended hereto, a communi cation from the Secretary of the Interior, who earnestly favors this bill. The sug gestions made by him in his communica tion have been adopted, and the bill is fully In accord with his Ideas .of the mat ter." CAUGHT GOLDFISH. The Draining: of a Milwaukee Pond nu K-vent for Juveniles. Milwaukee Sentinel. Saturday -was a memorable day at Mitchell Park for about 200 children, who for weeks had been watching for the day when the hsh pond would be cleaned out. About every two years it becomes neces sary to draw the pono ind clear away the accumulation of mud, leaf mold and other Jetsam of the countryside that has accumulated on the bottom. The first time it was done, was in 1900. Saturday was the second. The Interest of the chil dren centered in the gold and silver fish of the pond. After the laborers had lifted out all the larger fish, including the spawners, the children were allowed to take out the fish that were left. For an hour the youngsters waded in the slime and ooze firiilng for goldfish with their hands. The mud and water was over shoetops, but that did not sig nify. Only one of the boys had gum boots. Some took the precaution to re move their shoes and stockings, but the majority went splashing in with a rush. A hundred plunged Into the pond the first five minutes and as many more stood on the shore watching curiously. One of the foremost was a girl of 14 with a red rib bon on her straw hat. She was appar ently accustomed to fishing, and rareiy missed bringing out a fine large one. Wherever a gold scale floated on the surface the girl secured it, and the pall she carried was full before some of the others had caught a single fish. An astonishing thing about the affair was the great number of children who said they had glass globes at home In which they Intended tc rear the goldfish. They Indignantly repudiated the Insinua tion that they were fishing for the mar ket. Each child was provided with a tin utensil, If nothing more than a leaky can picked from the dumping ground in the marsh. One boy had a dishpan large enough to hold a 6upply sufficient to stock a trout stream. When the fishing was at its height the noise of the children's cries and laughter was so great as to drown the silvery carol of a thistle bird in- the shrubbery. A cat bird ruffled his feathers and changed the thruehllke musical performance he was indulging in to a harsh protest that was almost feline. A robin sitting on Us nest In the fork of a red oak xurtlvely left the place and waited for quieter times. But the children were too busy with the new and delightful game to notice the bird songs or interfere with the nests. A trio of large boys adopted an effective plan to capture the fish. One of them, with old shoes and no stockings, was elected fisher, and the other two stood along the shore while the fisher plunged into the water and hauled out half-pound carp with ease and nonchalance before turning his attention tp goldfish. As fast as he caught the fish he tossed them to the other two- on the beach, to be dis tributed among the younger children. Others fished for themselves with equal success, until the wriggling movement In the water, caused by the imprisoned fish, died gradually away. Before 12:30 the last of the living fish had been captured and the bottom was left dotted with dead rock bass, fish that cannot endure muddy water. I SENATE WILL VOTE TODAY CLOSING OF THE DEBATE ON THE PHILIPPINE BILL. Speakers Were Scarce Testerday and Interest in the Snbject Was Light. WASHINGTON. June 2. Little Interest, either on thet floor or In the galleries, was manifested in the Senate debate on the J Philippine Government bill lodiy under me i&-minute rule. At two or Three stages it almost died of Inanition. Mason, In a vigorous speech, differed from the major ity In the treatment proposed for the Fil ipinos. He urged that no reason existed for according to them a treatment differ ent from that accorded to the Cubans, and strongly advised that they be afford ed the right to govern themselves. Other Senators. who spoke today were Hoar, Foraker, Cullom, Bacon, Patterson, Tel ler, Carmack and Proctor. Early In the session soma amendments were made to the bill by tho Philippine committee, the most important of which related to the disposition of the public lands in the Islands. The Proceedings. General debate on the Philippine bill having been concluded, the Senate, when it convened at 11 o'clock, agreed to the arrangement that debate on the bill should proceed under the 15-mlnute rule. Lodge, In charge of the bill, offered sev eral amendments, principally of a verbal nature, to the bJIL One of the most Im portant was an amendment striking out the word "nor more than 2000 acres to any association of persons," relating to the disposition of public lands, and Inserting a provision that "no such land shall be leased, let or demised to any corporation until a law regulating the disposition of public lands shall have been onacted and approved." Another amendment provided that hore aftcr no corporation should be authorized to engage in agricultural pursuits until provisions should be made In the bill therefor. The provision of the bill relating to franchises was amended so as to prohibit corporations from employing persons held in filavfcrv nr Invnlnnfnrr ei-vtfit A new section was added to the bill ! providing that the treasury of the Philip pine Government shall be a depositary for such public moneys as the Secretary of the Treasury may direct. An amendment was also adopted pro viding that laws relating' to entry, clear ance and manifests of steamships and other vessels arriving from or going to foreign ports shall apply to voyages be tween thb Philippine Archipelago and the United States, end all laws relating to the collection and protection of customs duties not Inconsistent with the Philip pine acts shall apply In the case of such vessels. Mason made a speech early In the ses sion in which he took strong grounds against the general policy of the United States In the Philippines His speech was listened to with interest on both sides of the chamber. He mentioned the great cost of carrying on the war and of the little value it was to the United States. Mason referred to the case of the Cubans, who had patiently waited the pleasure of the United States for Independence. If we gave the Filipinos an opportunity to try the art of self-government, said ho, we still would retain the Islands. He said he would not hae voted for the peace treaty but for the open and notorious un derstanding among Senators that there was to be a vote on a resolution to give to the Filipinos self-government as soon as In the opinion of the people of the United States they -were equal to. the task. "Why not try it?" he asked. "It will cost nothing. No harm can come from an effort in that direction. Some of us are tender and Jealous as to what other nations will say If we compromise with this poor, struggling people, but our Re public Is strong enough to be Independent of the opinions of the .nations of the world. Our Republic Is righteous enough to do right regardless of what the other nations of the world may think or say." Hoar, after reviewing the sltaation .In the Philippines ana referring to the out rages which had been committed, said: "I do not charge these things upon the Armj'. I charge them upon Imperialism." He referred to the cost of the war as enough to establish universities like Har vard throughout the country, and said: "This miserable doctrine of buying sov ereignty with gold has cost us all this." He adverted to the references which had been made to the acts of General Grant during the Civil War, and declared: "The most shameful thing In this whole transaction is the summoning of the au thority of General Grant to justify the order of General Smith." Stewart deplored such acts of cruelty as had occurred In the Philippines, but In sisted that the Philippines was a nest of pirates and barbarians. Teller gave notice of an amendment pro viding that the Filipinos should be citi zens of the "Government of the Philip pine Islands," instead of "citizens of the Philippine Islands." Bacon spoke against the bill. After ex hausting 30 minutes of time by unanimous consent, chiefly in having read documents and extracts from books, Bacon yielded the floor. An awkward pause ensued, no body being ready to proceed with the dis cussion. A suggestion that some other business be taken up met with objections, and after further delay Bacon resumed his remarks. To offset the testimony of Felipe Buen camlno, now being taken before commit tees of Congress, Patterson read the ad dress of Buencamlno to the United States Senate when he was Agulnaldo's "Minis ter of Foreign Affairs." The address urged the granting of independence to the Filipinos, thereby v "bringing to an end this cruel and wicked war." Carmack then read at length portions of a statement of Sixto Lopez, and when his time had expired. Money continued it by having the clerk read another section of the statement, final readlnc jrolnc over -until tomorrow. When Money's time had expired, at 4:56, the Senate went Into executive session and soon afterward adjourned. less, but in many cases dangerous, but time prevents me citing more than one. Dr. MacClean In the Medical Observer of 1810, gives 535 cases of smallpox after vac clnatjon, of which 97 were fatal. But not withstanding these proofs an$ protests from that time until the present, this bull dozing kind of reasoning Is continued, a talr cample of which Is seen in the ar ticle In The Oregonlan above referred to. In the Sunday Issue of The Oregonlan of April 13, I submitted a short article in which I instanced two cities which had re jected vaccination, namely Leicester, in England, and Cleveland, O. In regard to the latter, I furnished a letter from the medical Inspector (a man who was an ar-dent-fedvocate of vaccination until his ex perience taught him better), in which he states positively that under the most strict vaccination and quarantining smallpox had doubled Itself every year since 1SD8, and when it was stopped and disinfection end sanitation relied upon entirely, Cleve land from being the worst Infected city in the United States has become the least. Now, here Is a clear object lesson, vac cination entirely discontinued and sanita tion the only factor In the caEe. Surely this Is deserving of some consideration at the hands of the compulsory vaccina tion propagandists. But In the face of this -we have an article headed "Com only this, but that letter of Dr. Fred rick's was public property for weeks before t was handed In for publication and it is somewhat strange that it was not pub lished even as an Item of news. Again, in the case of Leicester, would the vaccination editor of The Oregonlan please show how it is" that this city Is against smallpox. Ara all these men quacks, ignorant and Impudent folk? In this connection, 1 desire to quote from a letter I received from a jihystclan In Ne braska after he had gone through an epi demic of smallpox In the town in which he lived. In preparing a paper on vac cination which I had the honor of reading before the Homeopathic State Medical So ciety last June, and wishing to obtain evidence at first hand as to the value or nonvalue of vaccination, I wrote to the physician mentioned, asking how many cases he attended, how many were vac cinated, how long previous to coming down with smallpox, and whaj; effect It had upon the disease? This Is the reply: "We have had 25 cases of smallpox, 15 of which were vaccinated some years ago, and revacclnated about three weeks before coming down with the smallpox, and these seemed to have the smallpox worse than those not vaccinated at all. One case, a young lady of 17, I vaccinated myself and know it took well, and this was the most serioucs case we had." Here Is the evi dence of a vaccinationist, a prominent Al lopathic physician of Thayer County, Neb. What shall we do with it, or rather what wUl the pro-vacclnatlonlst fanatic do with it? He will stop his ears and cry all the louder In behalf of his fetich, like the Ephesians of old "Great, great Is DI- pulsory Vaccination the Only Cure." Not "Tana" (vaccination) or they will say these people were not vaccinated according to the standard. Right here I will try and enlighten the public as to the meaning of being vac cinated "according to the standard." The compulsory propagandists have a creed in which they state positively no one vac cinated according to the standard can take not wiped off the face of the earth In ' smallpox, consequently when any one this present epidemic of smallpox? Tou , takes smallpox It Is a simple matter to claim to have the figures with regard to ; decide whether they were vaccinated. If London as to the number of deaths, etc Now, what is the death rate in Leicester you have smallpox you have not been vaccinated, no matter what the patient compared with London and other vac-1 my say, or the physician may say who clnated cities? There has not been a vac- j performed the operation. Much of the cinatlon In Leicester In 20 years, and by ' evidence which is paraded in the public this time, surely this city ought to furnish a terrible example of anti-vaccination folly. Permit me now to refer to some of the proofs of the value of vaccination as given in the article referred to. Porto Rico, we press in. favor of vaccination Is obtained somewhat after this manner. Let me give one instance? It was stated In The Ore gonlan last February that out of 346 cases of smallpox occurring In the City of Chi cago in the last two years not one was are told 10 years ago, under Spanish rule. ' found vaccinated -"according to the stand- wa a "regular hot-bed of smallpox." and so It was of yellow fever, and every other filth disease as well. Dr. Ames and the Medical News Inform us that this state of affairs has been en tirely changed through compulsory vac- ard." Now, the facts ate. that 340 out of the 346 claimed they had been vaccinated, many notwithstanding the irruption show ing scar marks, therefore there were only six cases which had not been vaccinated without a shadow of a doubt, and yet the RETURNS AT THE BAKER.

HAVE NO VACCINATION. A Portland Physician Replies to the Pro-Vncclnatlonlstx. P.ORTLAND, June 2. (To the Editor.) In a rcent Ipsue under the head ing of "Compulsory Vaccination, the Only Cure for Smallpox," this remarkably re fined, but characteristic statement was made: "The anti-vaccination quack Is al ways abroad In the land, his impudence Is only equaled by his Ignorance." And then follows the absurd and, to say the least, silly statement, that the whole au thentic medical history of the last cen tury supports the view that there is only one cure for smallpox, and that is com pulsory Vaccination. Now, who are the makers of this wonderful authentic his tory? Partisan boards of health and med ical commissions formed for the very pur pose of proving that vaccination is the only panacea for smallpox. Men who con stitute themselves a standard of authority and refuse to accept anything from the other side or take notice of even sworn testimony from medical men, their equal and In many respects their superiors as scientists and students of biology. Antl-vacclnatlon began in .Tenner's time, through some of the medical profession who at first adopted vaccination and prac ticed it until they found by actual experi ence that it failed to do what was claimed for It I could furnish a long list of medical men of that time who kept complete rec ords of the number of vaccinations per formed, and who furnish the figures prov cinatlon. Nowto make a comparison of J whole 346 is' given and paraded before the this kind of any value we ought to be i public as not being vaccinated. But they Informed as to the sanitary conditions ex- I o farther than that in obtaining evidence lcting under Spanish rule 10 years ago, or' td serve .their. purpose in order to stam untll American occupation; If the Spanish i pede the people Into adopting compulsory sanitation was the same or as good as that ' vaccination, I presume on the principle of the Americans, you have certainly i that the end justifies the means. In the made a point and a strong one In favor I same Issue of The. Oregonlan In which the of vaccinat'on.

Will It surprise The Oregonlan to Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines In ' learn that no such circumstance ever oc which the statement was made that since ' curred. How do I know that? I have Its American occupation of those places a complete refutation over the signature of thorough system of house-to-house clean- the Chief Medical Inspector of the City Ing and sanitation was adopted, which had of Chicago, and he ought to know.

Now surely there is no vaccina- be vaccinated and revaccinated until it tionist so rabid as to contend that the I will no longer take. Couple this with sanitary measures which effectually compulsory vaccination and the public stamped out yellow fever and cholera had J can easily see what they are "up against." no part in abating smallpox. When the It is true that smallpox Is on the in case or i'orto kico la studied in the ! crease all over this country, nut it is not true that the Increase Is due to the want of, or neglect of vaccination. For there never was a time in the history of our country when vaccination was so nearly universal. Almost every child of school age has been vaccinated and In most of the large cities It Is safe to say that 95 per cent of the whole population are pro tected In this way. Then, whence comes smallpox, and why this cry for compulsory vaccination? Under conditions of this kind, if vaccination was protective why hae we smallpox at all in this country? There Is one source from which smallpox mlcht come, which Is never taken into consideration. It is admitted by every au thority that I have read that vaccinia Is a modified form of smallpox. It has pains, fever, headache and often multiple pus tules, and under right conditions, I see above light, with the experience of Cleve land added, there should be no difficulty in determining whether vaccination or sanitation should receive the credit for stamping out smallpox In those islands. Now, this Is the kind of evidence which our friends call overwhelming, and the public are asked. "Shall you reject It for that of an obscure quack?" According to this, we are led to believe that none but ' obscure quacks are opposed to vaccina tion. If they had their mind enlightened sufficiently to realfze what Is going on around them, they would perceive that there are men In every walk of life, men of the highest mental and scientific at tainments who oppose vaccination.
