It was announced that the annual me
morial cervices will be held in Taylor
Street M. E. Church next Friday evening.
The exercises will be conducted by R. L.
Tllton, of Iowa, and -nill consist of ad
dresses and musical selections. The serv
ices will be In memory of those members
of the Supreme Lodge who have died dur
ing the past year. The reports Irom the
different jurisdictions show that only six
past grand masters have died during the
year.
The jurisdiction of Arkansas and the
jurisdiction of Manitoba and Northwest
Territory filed notices with the supreme
recorder, stating that they have won the
$2000 offered for each Jurisdiction that
Wakes a gain of 25 per cent in member
ship during the year. These two juris
dictions are the only ones that have made
the gain of 25 per cent In membership.
The election of officers and selection of
a place of holding the next annual ses
sion will probably not occur this week.
Denver has extended an Invitation for tho
Supreme Lodge to meet in that pity in
1903, and thus far this is the only invita
tion filed. There has oeen some talk of
Philadelphia seeking the honor of enter
taining the Supreme Lodge next year. St.
Louis, it is generally believed, will be
the meeting place in 1904, when the Louis
iana Purchase Exposition will be open in
that city.
The representatives of the A. O. TJ. W.
In "Wyoming petitioned the Supreme Lodge
to set apart Wyoming as a separate Juris
diction. At present the lodges in that
state are included in a Jurisdiction com
posed of Wyoming, Idaho and Utah. No
action has yet been taken on the petition.
A special committee composed of A. P.
Riddle, of Kansas: Will M. Narvis, of
Iowa, and J. W. Yantis. of Illinois, was
appointed to consider the proposition of
providing for a $500 beneficiary certificate.
At present the certificates are issued for
$1000 and $2000. It has been represented to
the Supreme Lodge by petitions that a
$500 certificate -would be popular and
would prove beneficial to tho order.
The question of extending the list of
hazardous risks came up at the last ses
sion for consideration, and the matter
was referred to a special committee. The
committee reported yesterday that they
deem it inadvisable to change the list of
hazardous risks. Tho report has not been
acted upon, but will be the subject of dis
cussion later In the week.
The afternoon yesterday was spent in
committee work.
Grand Slasters Organize.
An Association of Grand 'Masters and
Field Workers was organized yesterday
afternoon, with W. M. Narvis, of Iowa,
president, and Fred C. Wetmore, of Mich
igan, secretary. About 20 grand masters
and field workers were present at the
meeting, Jheld in the Portland Hotel. The
purpose of the organization is to formu
late plans for more effective work in ad
vancing the Interests of the A. O. TJ. W.
so far -as concerns the duties of the offi
cers mentioned. An informal discussion
of methods of work was had, but no defi
nite action was taken toward the adop
tion of uniform methods. Several meet
ings of the association will be held dur
ing the session of the Supreme Lodge.

Crescent Lodge, No. 10, A. O. TJ. W., of
Alblna, held an open meeting Tuesday
evening, at which a large crowd of Work

FINEST EVER HELD HERE
ROSE SHOW WILL ECLIPSE ALL
PREDECESSORS.
Multnomah Field to Be Transformed
Into a Garden of Eden Plans
for the Parade.
It has been so long since there has been
an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of
the roses that are now blooming so pro
fusely in Portland without wandering far
and wide about the city, that the rose
show to be riven on Multnomah Field,
June 18 and 19, in sure to bo a success.
The arrangements for the show are pro
ceeding rapidly, and with much satisfac
tion to those In charge. Not only will
the collection of flowers be lareer and
more varied than anythat has been made
before, but there will be marly other at-
DELEGATES LEAVING
tractions. In fact, for tho two days of
tho show, the field will be transformed
into a veritable garden of Eden, where
one may spend hours without exhausting
half the beauty and pleasure that will be
afforded him.
The roses themselves will be In all their
glory- This is the time of year when
the blooms aro in their perfection, and
the impetus given to the growing of fine
roses in Portland in the last few years
has given the Portland Rose Society,
which will hold the show, all the city
before them where to choose. There Is
hardly a yard In Portland that does not
boast of at least a dozen varieties of roses,
and each grower has given his time and
attention to some pet rose, so that the as
sortment is sure to bo complete and the
roses unusually fine. Each bloom will bo
plainly marked with its name, so that
the knowledge of the ilowocs among tho
public may bo Increased, 'and one may
choose from among a multitude of flowers
the varieties he prefers to grow in his
own yard.
The roses will bo displayed in a large
tent, about which "will cluster refreshment
booths, all of which will be laden with
floral decorations. Plenty of seats will
be provided, and a better place to spend
an evening than will be the field, when
the show Is at its height, can hardly be
imagined. Arrangements have ben made
for music, and the society has many other
plans for the entertainment of the patrons
of the show, which are not yet fully for
mulated. On one of the days of the show a rose
parade is to be given. A large tallyho
has been secured, which will be covered
with roses. Traps, tho smartest to be
found lmthe city, will follow, each bright
with all the floral beauty that Is to be
found, and, to bring the procession up to
nate several automobiles will be featured.
A band will supply music for the parade.

The members of the Rose Society are
tery enthusiastic about the show, and
their enthusiasm has already proved in
fectious, for since the first announcement
people have been talking about it all over
town, and rose fanciers have been con
ning over their gardens to see what they
will be able tddo In the way of exhibits.
There Is an abundance of roses in Port
land now, and the choicest varieties will
be at their best when the show opens,
so that there will be no difficulty In mak
ing a display that will not only he finer
than anything that has been seen in Port
land, but will ellipse anything of the kind
ever given on the Coast.

MARCHING ON CARACAS.
Hatos' Army Headed for Venezuelan
Capital.
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Wednesday,
June 4. (Correspondence of the Associ
ated Press.) General Matos has person
ally taken command of the Venezuelan
revolution and was on June 1 at TJrlca. 30
leagues distant from tarupano, marching
toward Caracas with an army which some
persons estimate at 5200 and others at
7500 men. To believe, however, that he
will reach the capital and take possession
of the Presidency without a deadly strug
gle would be an illusion. General Castro
Is preparing to offer resistance, -and hoped

to bar the invasion either In the plains
of Carabobo or In the Valley of the Tuy.
This is not the only direction In which
the President's political horizon is men
aced. Coero, Valencia and Barquisltmeto
are all more or less In the power of the
revolutionists. At Coro, Generals RIera
and Solagnl have effected a Junction and
are absolute masters of the environs. Rev
olutionary troops enter the city of Valen
cia every night as the town Is no longer
lighted, give themselves up to all sorts of
reprisals. Even La Girayra, the port of
Caracas, Is attacked nightly by armed
bands, who, on the night of May 27, k.ied
the military chief of Malquetla before his
own door.
President Castro's present conduct leads
to the belief that before hl3 departure he
vlll indulge In all sorts of extra arbitrary
acts. He has lately suppressed the news
papers El Tlempo and La LInterna. arrest
ed the manager of the Bank of Caracas,
Mr. Castillo; imposed on the widow of
the late Guzman Blanco a forced war con
tribution of one minion, and has arrested
the President of Congress, General Tosta
Garcia, and the president of the Soclete
Francalse. M. de Vldalc RIgo, a highly re
spected man, on very slight supposition.
He also caused his faithful officer General
Davlla, th'e vanquisher of El Mocho, to be
arrested after a very violent scene at the
Palace of Mlraflores, during which Davlla
reproached him with his ingratitude.
Everybody Is expecting the imposition
of a forced war contribution. Business Is
paralysed and the banks arc without
specie. The Bank of Caracas, the capital
of which is 6,000.000 bolivars (a bolivar 13
equivalent to about 20 cents), has only 126,
000 bolivars In Its coffers, that is to say,
about 3,000.
Whatever may be the result of the rev

MIDDLE AGES NOT DARK
HENRY AUSTIN ADAMS REFUTES
THIS CONCEPTION.
In That Period, He Says, Europe Made
- Its Greatest Achievements in Art,
Philosophy and Literature.
For the second time in Portland, Henry
Austin Adams, of New York, was greet
ed by a large audience at the Baker The
ater last night. His lecture was on "The
Middle Ages," and as on the previous
night the audience was very appreciative.
Mr. Adams' lecture was in part as fol
lows: "There are two views of life equally fa
tal and pernicious, which attract certain
kinds of minds; one is the sin of those
who sigh for the 'good old' days of a
time long past, and the other 13 the sin
of those who yearn for some Utopia
which the unknown tomorrows are going
to bring about. The sane and Christian
temper is that which glories In believing
that God was 'right in giving us today,
and that as far as we are concerned this
is the time of all times and we. In a very
sublime sense, are the people."
The speaker emphatically urged his
hearers to believe that he was a man of
here and now, an American of the Amer
icans, an optimist, and an enthusiastic
believer in the progress of society toward
ever higher planes of thought and life.
But this must not be suffered to prevent
our studying the glorious ages of the
past In the spirit of reverent fairness.
"The whole subject of the Middle Ages."
said Mr. Adams, "has been outrageously
maltreated by that gang of conspirators
against the truth whom we call the stand
ard historians. According to these gen
try we are asked to believe that until by
a miraculous co-operation of divine Prov
idence with a libertine monk, Martin
Luther, and an unspeakable moral mon-
! ster, Henry VIII, had rescued tho world
I from tho darkness Into which the Catho
j lie church had dragged It, there was a
I period covering many centuries during
' wliich the light of reason, education and
J morality had beezv totally extinguished.
With a supercilious sneer our little half
baked college professors brush the mag
nificent times of Europe'-s most tremen
dous achievements In the domains of art,
philosophy and literature to one side, and
then dilate upon the splendora of our 'Anglo-Saxon
civilization.
"But the real scholarship of Europe to
day (freed by the agnostic and scientific
spirit from tho stupidity -and dishonesty
of the old-fashioned Protestant histor
ians), is rapidly demolishing tho wholo
fabric of popular misconception concern
ing the Middle Ages."
Tho speaker then proceeded to discuss
tho life of those old times. He maintained
that they were ages of high ideals and
superb creative energy, for the reason
that belief In a supernatural religion was
universal and ardent. Theologians had
not emasculated God Into a metaphysical
formula to be sentimentally patronized on
Sunday mornings by conceited Jacks-In-a-box
who "know It all." But the incar
nation was the central and vivifying fact
around which the life of men revplved In
conscious and lofty power. And the re
sult was the spires of Cologne, the pages
of Dante, the Madonnas of Raphael, the
metal miracles of Benvenuto Cellini, the
Summa of Aquinas, the discovery of
America. Mr. Adams referred to the sol
idity of the work in the Middle Ages, and
to the fact that even in the domain of
political economy we must go back to
them for tho first principles of our pres
ent glorious liberties. '"Magna Charta,"
ho said, "was written by Catholic priests:
trial by Jury, habeas corpus, the right of
commons, and almost all the rights and
privileges that we now havo were wrung
from the hands of tyrants by the church."
A humorous description followed pf thq
romantic aspects of life In the old days,
but it was evident that at heart Mr. Ad
ams is a lover of the chivalry and Ideal
ism of the ages of knights and ladies
fair. The audience was asked to reread
tho history of mediaeval times under tho
newer light of the great body of learned
scholars who are completely revolution
izing opinion on the subject.
In concluding, Mr. Adams reminded his
hearers that, after all. "the Individual
withers but the world Is more and more,"
and that the call for crusaders Is as loud
today as when Peter the Hermit aroused
all Europe on the field of Cleremont, and
that he who will may find at hand the
opportunity and Inspiration for deeds as
high and aspirations as lofty as those" of
the most glorious days of old.

HILL AND THE CANAL.
The "Fears" of the Great Northern
Railway Magnate.
The article that follows was written by
S. A. Glbbs, of Tacoma, for publication
In the News or Ledger (Tacoma) or one
of the Seattle papers. This article is in
answer to an interview recently published
in all of the Great Northern railway pa
pers relative to the Nlcaraguan canaL In
that interview Mr. Hill scored every one
connected with that proposed enterprise,
and had much to say relative to volcanic
disturbances In Nicaragua jind surround
ing country. The papers of Tacoma and
Seattle refused to publish the article, the
Tacoma News stating that It would only
"mix the people up and they knew noth
ing about the subject anyway." -Of course,
the Hill Interests are making a very bit
ter fight against any Isthmian Canal, and
It is certainly true that the Panama
scheme was brought up with the sole hope
of killing off the Nlcaraguan enterprise.
From the inception of the Panama scheme
that scheme has never been used In good
faith for any purpose, down to the pres
ent. A great contest is now going on for
the purpose of defeating the best Interests
of the Coast, and very unfair and un
truthful methods are being made use of to
that end.
TACOMA, Wash., June 9, 1902. There
was published lately an interview of the
Minneapolis Journal with James J. Hill on
the Isthmain Canal, volcanic eruptions,
earthquakes, etc, and Mr. Hill, In his
usual way, attacking everything that is
not or will not. In his mind, contribute to
his coffers, assails water wajs in general,
mentioning the Mississippi River, in par
ticular. In connection with the Isthmus
Canal. The money spent on the Missis
sippi is a good investment for tho people.
Even though the amount of business done
'thereon Is limited, the river Is there ready
for business, therefore a constant check
on railroad rates, and In this way the in
vestment yields a handsome revenue to the
public
Between the Mississippi River and the
Erie Canal Influence the railroad rate on
export grain Is 16 cents per hundred
weight from the Interior market to the
seaboard. If these waterways were
closed, the export grain rate would be
about the same as the lumber rate, which
Is 25 cents, or about 50 per cont more than
the present export grain rate. Lumber
and grain rates, as a rule, run close to
gether, unless some special influence work
in favor or against either. Lumber not
moving by cargo from Chicago to the
East, while grain is moved by cargo via
the lakes and Erie Canal, therefore wat
er competition on the latter makes the
export rate IS cents from Chicago to the
seaboard, while, through lack of water
competition, the rail rate on lumber 13
25 cents. No wonder that Mr. Hill should
attack waterways, as they are the only
competition that causes the railroads any
anxiety.
Mr. Hill boasted of the 58 rate on rails
that "he" was making to Japan via Puget
Sound, and asked: "How far would $3
carry a ton of steel rails from the Penn
sylvania rolling mills by way of the Isth
mian canal? It would carry them as far
as San Francisco, probably."
As a matter of fact, the ?8 rate is made
by steamship via Suej: Canal (a water
way), and Mr. Hill, Instead of making the
?8 rate, simply accepts it. In order to get
some, of the business; and in so far as
ha Is concerned, it is all the traffic will
stand. He is not making the rate on ac
count of his great love for the Japs or for
the people on Puget Sound, but rather
that he wants some of the business. '
About the same rate ($8) Is made on
other Iron products from Pennsylvania
points to Japan, and he is" hauling some
of the business via Puget Sound, still he
Is charging $15 per ton on the samo class
of goods from Pittsburg to Puget Sound;
that is, he Is hauling via rail to Puget
Sound, thence via steamship to Japan, a
distance of 4259 miles beyond Puget Sound
(in competition with the Suez Canal
route), and makes Japan delivery about
45 per cent less than he will make Puget
Sound delivery. And Mr. Hill knows that,
with the isthmian canal, he will be obliged
to make rates to Puget Sound less than
Japan on this class of goods; that is, if
ho wants the business.
From Pittsburg to Japan, via New
York and tho Suez Canal, the water dis
tance 13 13,300 miles, while from Pittsburg
to Japan, via New York and the Isthmian
canal, the water distance would be 9600
miles. Now the question is: If tho
through rato Pittsburg to Japan, via New
York and the Suez Canal, with a water
distance of 13,300 miles, is 58 per ton,
what would the rate be via the Isthmian
canal with a water distance of only 9600
miles? Mr. Hill, please put that question
to your G. N. Kindergarten. Evidently,
when Interviewed by the Minneapolis
Journal, he had the Impression that since
he considered San Francisco had ceased
to be the gateway to tho Orient and
China (men) was excluded coming to San
Francisco, things had reversed and San
Francisco hd gone to China; but San
Francisco is still doing business at the
old stand, and will bo only 5052 miles
from New York "via the Isthmian canal,
while tho $8 steel rail rate covers a water
distance of 13,300 mlle3 via the Suez
Canal. Possibly Mr. Hill's wish may have
been father to his thought In this mat
ter. It would not be right to suggest
that he had any Idea of willfully pervert
ing facts.
Of the ?8 rate, Pittsburg to Japan, as
above, about 52 50 of the same is the rail
road haul from Pittsburg to New York,
leaving 55 50 as the steamship's portion,
for 13,300 miles, from New York to Japan.
If the water rate for 13,300 miles Is 55 50,
what would the water rate be from New
York to Puget Sound, a distance of 6000
miles, via the Isthmus Canal? Certainly
not to exceed 54, as compared with the
present 515 all-rail rate from East Coast
to Puget Sound. Thlo Is only a saving
of a little over 73 per cent. On shipments
from Pittsburg, even after adding the
52 0 rail charge from Pittsburg to New
York, to the $4 water portion from New
York to Puget Sound, would make the
through rate from Pittsburg to Puget
Sound via the Isthmus Canal 56 30, or a
saving of 56 per cent as compared with
present all-rail rates from Pittsburg.
It Is the "eruption" In rates that Mr.
Hill sees In the distance every time a
Congressman says "Isthmus Canal," and
it makes HIH quake, not the earthquake.
Eruptions and earthquakes will not trou
ble him, unless they stop the "flow" of
shekels, not lava, into the "Merger's cof
fer." Man never saw greater considera
tion for the "people's" money, but Mr.
Hill wants It to flow Into his rail "ways"
Instead of Into Uncle Sam's water "ways."
To the average reader, at first thought,
the 55 50 water portion or rate from New
York to Japan may seem low, the distance
being 13,300 miles, but when the wheat rate
from Puget Sound to England via Cape
Horn, which Is about 25 shillings per long
ton of 2240. Is taken Into consideration. It
makes the thing look different. Twenty
flve shillings per long ton Is about $3 35
per short ton of 2000, or 15 cents per ton
less than the 53 50 rate on iron products,
and the distance from Puget Sound to
England Is 16,100 miles, or 2S0d mlle3 more
than from New York to Japan via Suez
Canal. The distance from New York to
Japan via Cape Town Is only 15,730 miles.
The foregoing shows conclusively that
the 58 rate Pittsburg to Japan Is about
the usual water rate.
Tho wheat rate to England from Puget
Sound would be reduced considerably, as.
If the present rate is 53 35 per short ton

or about 16 cents per bushel, for a dis
tance of 16,100 miles, the Isthmus Canal
would reduce the distance to 9000 miles
or less, which would certainly rcduco the
rate about one-third, or all of five cents
per bushel saved to the farmers of this
Coast.
The same percentage of saving would
be made on all other Classes of goods,
lumber, etc., shipped to or from England
or the Atlantic Coast, or from 33 per cent
to 73 per cent.
Regular lines of steamships would bo
established between Atlantic and Pacific
Coast points via the canal. The distances
not exceeding 6000 miles could be covered
easily in 23 days, which is about tho
average time on freight via all rallAand 13
considerably quicker than Is made on lum
ber, etc., as every lumber shipper knows
that 30 to CO days Is the average dellvery
to Atlantic Coast points.
Ono of our largest merchants informs
me that his firm has goods en route mest
of the time, from interior Pennsylvania
points, such as Pittsburg, routed via rail
road to New York, via steamer to Colon,
via railroad to Panama, via cteamer to
Tacoma, and on such shipments he saves
from 20 to 30 per cent. The goods usually
arrive in 40 days or less.
Mr. Hill says "rates have been reduced
one-half In 20 years," which Is true whero
railroads come in competition with water
ways only. Lumber and grain rates are
about the same now, In all the Northern
states, east of Colorado, Wyoming and
Montana, as 20 years ago, except whero
waterways have become a factor. Com
parison of tariffs for the past 20 years
will prove this beyond question.
The Central states are deriving great
benefit from the Great Lakes, the differ
ent navigable rivers and Erie and other
canals, and It is time this Coast derived
some benefit from Govex-nment waterways.
Tho Isthmian Canal would do the busi
ness, saving 33 to 73 per cent as a starter,
that Is, figuring present railroad rates as
a basis.
Mr. Hill says. "We might get one of our
big vessels In there among the mountains
and never get her out." That Is. lodged
in the Isthmian Canal on account of
earthquakes. He ought not borrow any
trouble on that score. The "water" In
his "merger" stock would float his bigge3t
ships anywhere In tho world.
