APPLIES TO UNOCCUPIED LANDS When WitudraTrnlitJIave Been Made the GQvernxnant Will Xot Invade At Discretion of Secre tary of Interior. WASHINGTON, June 20. Some fear has been expressed that the new Irriga tion bill -would bear Injuriously upon ir xigation projects already begun under the Carey act, particularly those recently commenced in Oregon. But It Is the con sensus of opinion, of those familiar with public land legislation that there will be no conflict whatever between the new law and the Carey act. Enterprises that have heretofore been undertaken under the Carey act will be allowed to go on to completion, and In the future the two laws will work harmoniously. "Under the new bill when a tract of land Is to be re claimed the Secretary of the Interior Is authorized to withdraw from settlement all unoccupied lands which, in his opin ion, will be benefited hy the government -work. These lands, after withdrawal, will not be subject to reclamation by the stages under the Carey act, but all other public arid lands will be. It is probable 'that when the general Government, under" the ' irrigation laws, shsiU uridertake the reclamation of a cer tain tract no state would select land in that same locality under the Carey act. The policy under the new law is to re claim lands whose Improvement has not heretofore been undertaken and which are now unpecupied. The Carey act. It will be recalled, al lows -states to acquire not to exceed 1.0M, 000 acres, of arid lands upon their reclam ation b the state, and when so reclaim ed, the estate, and not the Government, derives the"beneflt from its sale. LEADERS WAXT NO PARTY WAR. One Reason Gulmn Reciprocity Bill Stands No Chance. WASHINTON, June 20. The President cannot understand why the beet-sugar men are holding out when it would be so easy for them to consent to a moderate reciprocity agreement, so far as Cuban products are concerned. One of the beet eugar men, commenting on this today, said the President has often expressed his ad miration of courage and independence on the part of men who think they are doingwhat is best for their constituents. He pointed out that If the President should veto the bill that was passed by the Republican Congress, no one would think of reading the President out of the party because he disagreed with his party in Congress. One of the advocates of the Spooner proportion for reciprocity in acknowl edging thatithe fight was over, remarked that they rnIgnfr:fbllow those whb 'wanted to take the bill into the Senate and have a long fight there. "We might butt our heads against a stone wall," he remarked, "for the edification of the Democrats and the destruction of our party. It will be respectful for the Republicans to fight each other on this subject and give the Democrats an opportunity to offer amendments taking off or reducing the tariff on trust-made articles. We should, of course, have to vote them down, as we do not want a general tariff revision, and this would be a part of the Democratic campaign material." Speaking of adopting the House bill carrying the elimination of the differ ential on refined sugar, another Republi can remarked that the greatest Insult to be offered Cuba would be the immigra tion restriction laws, which the House bill carries, and he would not vote for It even if he had to leave Congress on that account. The fact Is that men JIke Spooner, Al lison and Hanna, and perhaps even Ald rlch, who would be perfectly willing to vote for a reciprocity bill, doubt the wis dom of forcing a factional fight in the party. All the Republicans declare that all of the discussion In the reciprocity conference Is with the utmost good feel ing. Naturally, when gentlemen meet to attempt to adjust differences, such is the case, but i at the same time the two sides are as sharply divided as ever, and al though the beet-sugar men are in the minority, they are more solidified than the majority. If the Republican leaders of the Cuban committee attempt to report the reciprocity bill and bring It up in the Senate it will mean a party war. The conference today is additional evidence that reciprocity Is impossible at this ses sion. FOR PORTLAND BUILDING. aioney for Postoillce in Amendment to Sundry Civil Bill. WASHINGTON, June 20. The amend ment today accepted to the sundry civil bill carries the following appropriations for immediate use, under the omnibus building bill recently enacted: Portland Postoffice and Courthouse.? 25.000 Portland Custom-house 10.000 Spokane and Tacoma, for sites, each 100,000 An additional amount for the Portland Postoffice will be carried In the next sun dry 'civil bill, this appropriation being In tended merely to start the work.

WASHINGTON, June 20. Representa tive Tongue today called on the Commis sioner of Pensions and laid before him a copy of the Indian War veteran bill as it passed the House and Senate, together with the reports of both committees. He called the Commissioner's attention to the length of time that has elapsed blnce the conclusion of the several wars and to the age of the people to be bene fited, many of them men 75 to 93 years of age, and who are anxious to derive some benefit from the new legislation, lie ex plained that unless prompt action Is taken looking to enforcing the law many will not receive-, any benefits. He therefore urged as strong as possible that early preparation bo made to print the neces sary blanks, formulate the necessary rules and Jake whatever steps are neces sary to secure relief at the earliest mo ment. The President has not yet signed the bill, hence the Commissioner has no authority to go ahead with preparations, but expects to do so as soon as notified that the hill is signed. A BUFFALO TRAGEDY.

Bent Lasts 45 3IInntes and Is Hotly Contested From Start to Finish. Max Wiley won the catchwelght wrest ling match from Joe Acton at Turner Hall last evening, the Portland man be ing thrown after an exciting "struggle which lasted 45 minutes. Acton had agreed to throw the Rochester man twice in one hour of continuous wrestling, catch-as-catch-can, but the struggle proved too much for Acton, as he could not land his game even once, although he had Wiley going several times.

POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y., June 20. One hundred and eleven brawny young men, the finest specimens of physical develop ment that can be produced under the system of athletic training in vogue In American universities, today put the fin ishing touches to their preparations for the intercollegiate races that are to be rowed on the Poughkeepsle course to morrow afternoon. They comprise the 14 crews of the six universities that have been entered in the three races which make up the day's programme. Reports received from all the crew headquarters today as to the condition of the various contestants and their readiness to race show nn average so high and at the same time so equal as to force the conclusion that the( university race tomorrow will show onq of the closest finishes ever seen in these contests. Such betting as there is seems to favor Cornell, the general opinion being based on the record of last year, the magnifi cent form the 'varsity crew has ohown 'since it reached here, and the confidence that Courtney has shown whenever he has been questioned about his crew. The Cor nell adherents, however, received some thing of a shock today and the stock of Wisconsin went up several points at the barae time, through statements by two such judges as A. H. Flockwlro captain of the Pennsylvania 1S01 Henley crew, and John Rogers, Jr., the ex-Yale rowing coach. Both saw all the crews at work yesterday for the first time and both expressed the opinion that Wisconsin's chances of 'winning this year are better than ever before. Ideal weather conditions prevailed this afternoon when the crews went out for practice. Five Columbia crews were out. Hanlon followed one boat after another in a launch, megaphoning instructions. Both Wisconsin crews were out this morning without Coach O'Dea. The work at the Syracuse boathouse was very light.' 'me Syracuse oarsmen deny the rumor that their 'varsity eight is overtrained. So far as thft freshman race is con cerned, there is nobody with enough con fidence in his own Judgment to pick a winner. In the four-oar event, despite the fact that Pennsylvania has changed her men, she is looked upon as a prob able winner. Changes .In Football Rules. CHICAGO. June 20. There will be some radical changes In football this? year, according to the Tribune's Philadelphia correspondent. Walter Camp, of Yale, chairman; John C. Bell, Pennsylvania; Alexander Moffatt, Princeton; R. D. Wrcnn, Harvard; Paul J. Dashiel, United States Naval Academy and M. Dennie, Cornell, the committee on football rules, have so recommended. Of so radical a nature were two of the changes decided upon that the committee suggested each member should talk over the new rules with the football authorities at his par ticular college and "if any .objection was raised word should be sent to the chair man, Walter Camp, and a call for another meeting would be issued. If no objection were raised, the new rules would be printed in the official football guide for 1902. The most important revision was a rule providing that the opposing teams should change sides after each touchdown scored or field-goal kicked. The other radical change Is in the kicking of goal from touchdown. The new rule provides for the bringing out of the ball a3 heretofore to kicking distance, say 20 yards from the goal posts; that this point shall be a line of scrimmage and the try for the goal can be made by snapping the ball either for av place kick or a drop kick behind the line of scrimmage..

After the end of this month the cost of a barrel of beer to the brewer will be 60 cents less than it Is now. The internal revenue tax on his product will be re duced that much. The retailers would be pleased to know what the brewers in- tend to "do with that 60 cents whether t they will keep it all or will divide It with the saloon-kCepers. The latter are of the opinion they are entitled to a generouy share of the money. They eay the brew ers have made them pay all or the greater part of the war tax on beer. The consumer need not look for lower prices or larger glasses as the result of the repeal of the war tax. As a rule, he has not had to pay the tax. He cannot Justly expect to profljt by the removal of it He must stand aside while brew ers and saloon-keepers wrangle over the 60 cents the Government has surrendered. The present inclination of the brewers Is to take it all. The brewers' "pool" so resolved at the annual convention of the United States Brewers' Association, held last week. Where a brewery turns out from 30,000 to 100,000 barrels of beer a year an increased profit 'of CO cents per barrel Is something which it goes against the grain to surrender. In all probability some brewers will be gin to bid for custom bv eoneedlnir n. Tnrr of the 60 cents to the retailers. If one does It others will be apt to follow suit ! and finally the saloonkeepers will get a . lair snare oi me money. The brewers are not so thoroughly organized as to be able to keep for themselves Indefinitely the tax the Government has relinquished. There Is no beer trust as yet, and It will be dif ficult to form one. ORIENTAL TRADE. Determined Aggression of Russia Presents Our Greatest Danger. New York Journal of Commerce. The announcement comes as a sugges- wve commentary on the alarm expressed cer-uior uuools and others in regard to the coming industrial competition with the dormant populations of the Far East, that the Great Northern Steamship Com pany has decided to build three more shlpa for the Oriental trade. The three additional vessels are to be built on the same general lines and dimensions as the two now on the wavs. These latter have a displacement of 40:000 tons each, are 630 feet long, 73& feet breadth of. Deam. and 56 feet depth of hold. They are thus the largest vessels afloat, and even practical shipping men have doubted the possibility of finding freights In the Pacific trade to keep them profitably employed. Their owners have, apparently, no inlsgivliigs on tnat score, and. eonslrlprtnn- tho tnor ihat 2,071.644 barrels Qf flour, 161.707 bales J "l conon, and some 4SO.00O .bales of cot ton cloth have been exported In the 10 months ending with April to China. Hong Kong. Japan and "other Asia and Ocean lea." their confidence does not seem mis placed. The timid souls who apprehend an avalanche of Industrial compptltlon to attend the awakening of China and the development of the latent resources of the Philippines ought to be reassured by our experience with Japan. Twenty yeare ago industrial progress on modern lines had not begun in Japan, and Its imports from the United States amounted to the very modest sum of 1.7S1.10S yen. In 1900, after Japan had fairly taken its place among the manufacturing nations of the world. Its Imports from the United States were valued at 62.761.196 yen. Instead of our markets being flooded by the products of Japanese cheap labor, the exports of Japan to the United States have increased in a much smaller proportion than Its imports from the United States, and In 1900 we bought from Japan 10,000,000 yen less than we sold her. Of the 52.566.30o ytn in value exported to the United States in 1900, the value of 26,710.050 yen con sisted of raw silk. 5,972,012 of manufac tures of silk. 6,930.475 of tea, 3.002,519 of floor matting, 1,011.923 cf rice. 1.743,671 of chemicals, drugs, etc., while manufac tures of bamboo, lacquered ware and oth er characteristic Japanese products go to make up the balance. It need hardly be pointed out how enor mous would be the proportions of our trade with China did it develop as that with Japan has done. Our exports of raw cotton to Japan, which were valued at $132,729 In 1S92. reached the amount of $12,712,619 In 1900; Illuminating oil, .which was exported to the amount of $1,79S,792 In, 1S92, Increased to $5.149,0S2 In 1900; flour, which amounted to $179,246 in 1S92, was $1,554,739 In 1900, ana manufactures of Iron and steol. Including machinery and locomotive engines, which were $133, G16 in 1S92, amounted to $5,309,SS7 in 1900. This development has gone on step by step with the advance In the Industrial activity of Japan, and has been a direct result of it The development of China is likely to be less rapid, and It may pro ceed on somewhat different lines. But It may be accepted as a fixed principle that the Chinaman cannot grow richer with out the United States receiving Immediate benefit from his Improved condition. As the Blackburn Commission of Cotton Spinners reported several years ago, it Is the purchasing power of the Individual which decides In China whether he does or does not wear garments made from foreign cottons. Our American fabrics happen to have made exceptionally rapid progress in Manchuria because of their special adaptation to that climate, and the Chinese In Manchuria, owing to their comparative prosperity, use proportion ately more foreign piece goods thari they do in China proper. In 1901 there came into the port of New Chwang $4,144,133 worth of American drills, jeans and sheet ings, or about 33 per cent of the total foreign importations Into that port The rapid growth of American trade with Manchuria is fairly Indicated by the In crease of Imports from the United States Into New Chwang from $1,500,000 in 1S91 to $4,665,162 in 1S99. and. according to a recent report of our very intelligent Con sul there, the commercial possibilities of the future are in nowise limited to cotton goods, kerosene and flour, which now constitute the great bulk of our exports to the great northern province of China. It is not only a ridiculous inversion of facts to assume that our industry Is threatened by the commercial develop ment of the Far East; It Is a line of argu ment calculated to divert attention from the real source of danger. When Mr. Rockhlll said the other day that spheres of Influence had ceased to present any menace to the expansion of our trade in China, he took too little account of the persistency of the secular policy of Russia. For example. In the consular re port already quoted from, appears the statement that the returns for the year do not show the true Imports of kerosene into Manchuria, because large quantities came through Dalny and Port Arthur, whence It was sent to the Interior by traln. No tariff was collected on this oil. nor were any statistical returns made of it. and most of it was of Russian origin. Further, our Consul, Mr. Henry B. Miller, in conversing with Russian officials and merchants in regard to the maintenance of the open door trade policy In Man churia, found them to be universally of the opinion that Russian trade could not flourish there under such conditions. They afflrmed. with entire unanimity, that a preferential tariff Is essential to the de velopment of Russian trade In Manchuria. In other words, equality of commercial opportunity is entirely foreign to the scheme of Russian commercial or political advance south of the Amur, as it Is north of It, and all the professions of Russia in favor of the open door must be taken with that distinct qualification. A letter dated some six weeks ago has been re ceived in New York from the agent of one of our great exporting firms In New Chwang. in which the statement is made that during the months of February and March there were Imparted Into New Chwang via Port Arthur 3000 bales of cotton piece goods and 1500 bales of cot ton yarn, on which no duty was paid. This was done, of course, through the agency of the Russian authorities, and Its declared purpose was to boom the ports of Dalny and Port Arthur to the detriment of New Chang. But clearly, if the Russians can suspend the collec tion of customs at a Chinese treaty port they are already exercising a sovereignty superior to that of China, and, inferen tlally, are pledged to a policy which can only, result in a dismemberment of the empire It is dangers like these which AN EASY WAY HOW TO BUY A FINE RMNO FOR A VERY SMALL OUTLAY Eilers Piano House offers every one the chance to own a Unt piano.

FINEST HAT IN CONGRESS. Said to Be Worn by Mr. Storia, of IV ew York. "A paragraph in the Washington Star about Senator Frye's fine Panama hat a few day0 ago made that hat famous," said a member of Congress from Ney York, "but I don't believe Senator Fryes Panama Is the finest worn in Congre.s. There is one other man who has a finer hat That man is Representative Storm, of the Oyster Bay district' of New. York. Mr. Storm's Panama is &aid to bo worth, closo to $200. He won't tell the price of It himself, becauce he says "It is foolish for a man to spend so much money on a hat It Is a beautifully woven piece of straw and It is wonderful how the "work could have been done by hand. "The fact Is that there 'are eome ex pensive straw hats being worn by men in Washington this year, and I am beginning to wonder what the women are going to say about It. Up to a few years ago the women had a monopoly on high-price hats, and the poor men fumed and swore over having to put up $15 or $20 for a creation, of the female sdrt. Now the men don't hesitate tQ pay more than that for their own hats and are even going up to $100 and $200 each for what they wear, About the time the wives begin to ask for this much money for a hat there will be a hot time In the old town and It Is probable that expensive hats for men will not be In much demand after that." $50 FOR $1 Is a low estimate of the amount E-RU-SA Pays anyone suffering with piles.
