THE MOBNIXG OREGOmAN, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1902. IS RECORD IN TRAFFIC Railroad Earnings Never So Large in Six Months. GAIN OF 5.7 PER CENT OYER '31 Aside From Labor Troubles, the 'find of the First Half ol the Year Warn Remarlcably Satisfactory in All Lines. NEW YORK, July 4.-R- O. Dwi & Cos weekly review or trade- tomorrow "will say: Quiet conditions have prevailed In most branches of business, especially in those markets already affected by labor disputes. Large interest payments testify to the pros perous condition of rallwajs. Industrial cor porations and financial institutions, and aside Irom the labor troubles, tho half year Just ended was remarkably satisfactory. Railway earnings for June exceeded last year's by 6.4 per cent, and those of 1000 by 19.0 per cent. In Iron and steel districts there have been no developments of importance. Leather is dull and hides weak. In the textile markets, cotton goods cold freely at recent concessions and the tone was Eteady. while woolen mills are more actively engaged, and buyers are In the Eastern markets for raw material. Quotations of wool made a further slight advance, and firmness is expected at the London auction sales next Tuesday. The general level of grain prices Is higher for the week, especially corn and oats. In spite of many serious drawbacks, railroad earnings for the half year Just closed are the largest ever reported. Total gross earn ings of all railroads In the United States re porting for the half year to date, are $618, 470,503, a gain of 8.7 per cent over last year, and 18 7 per cent over 1900. This report Is practically complete for railroads, embracing three-fourths of the total mileage of the United States for five months, and Including partial returns for June. Commercial failures In the first half of 1902 numbered 0.1C5. with liabilities of $60, S74.S50.

Despite a few excep tionally heavy failures In British Columbia, total liabilities In the Dominion of Canada for the first hair of the year were only $5,739. 451. against $5,530,920 last rear, while the number of defaults, 010, compares favorably "With nil recent years.

The most notable thing about the long-drawn-out discussion in the United States Senate over the Philippine administration bill Is its absolute fatuity. Such a discus sion -nould be impossible In any other country under like circumstances, because in no other country which might have ac quired any such possession as the Philip pine Islands could political capital be made out of an attempt to show that the mere act of acquisition was an infringement of the inalienable right of all races and con ditions of men to be permitted to govern themselves. The faot that such a con tention should In some quarters be deemed sufficient to offset all the rights which the United States secured under the Treaty of Paris over the Philippine Arshi pelago Is perhaps a proof of uncompro mising devotion to the principles of pop ular liberty. But it Is also a demonstra tion of the absurdity of projecting our system pf self-government into a field where It is demonstrably out of place. Such a plea as that of Senator Hoar, for what Tie regards as Justice to the Fili pinos, Is totally inapplicable, because It proceeds on a purely theoretical concep tion of what, we owe to that highly com plex aggregate of population inhabiting what were once the Pacific possessions of the Spanish monarchy. Obviously, our first duty to these people was to re establish among them the reign of law, and the essential preliminary of such a task was to secure respect for the au thority of the Government of the United States. From the moment that the guns of Dewey's fleet demolished such au thority as Spain exercised In the Philip pines, the responsibility of our Govern ment for the future conduct of the af fairs of these Islands was fully estab lished. The so-called Philippine Repub lic was a pure fiction, whose, authority, left to Itself, was adequate neither to command the respect of the disunited and hostile tribes Inhabiting the Islands, nor to guarantee the safety of the con- slderable foreign Interests established In their principal ports. By. a successful stroke of warfare we destroyed tho only government of the Islands which had received International sanction, and the vers imperfections of that government Imposed on us a new obligation to es tablish law and order among the widely separated communities which had in one form or other acknowledged the rule of Spain. Tho hostility which most of them displayed toward that rule was the only thing they had In common, but it did not alter the fact that the authority of the United States was the only Influence that stood between them and anarchy. It is long past the time to discuss T.he wisdom of taking possession of the Philip pine Islands, and the absurdity of most cf tho speeches delivered in the course of the Senate debate Consists in the fact that they have assumed the possibility of retracing the step taken when the Treaty of Paris was ratified. That step was a perfectly defensible if not an ab solutely Inevitable one, but even by those who still question its wisdom the fact ought to be admitted that it was final. The only question before the coun try is, therefore, how the Philippines may best be governed in tho Interests of their own people and "with credit to the United States. There may be room for difference of opinion on this point though hardly enough to raise the question to the rank of a political issue. The prob lem, such as it Is, belongs to the same class as that -which Great Britain has solved Jn the Malay Peninsula and the Dutch In Java. TYo may find reason to take serious exception to both these methods of solution, but we shall only complicate the -problem hopelesslr by treating it as if It were applicable to the same kind of people who discuss public affairs at a New England town meeting:. Whether we like It or not, we must treat the Filipinos as a subject race, and it would be very much to their detriment if we insisted on treating: the tribes known under that general designation, cither collectively or severally, as a people capable of our own form of self-government. Some of them may know the meaning f that phrase, but very few of them know anything of its true signifi cance. Wecan assure to them an equal ity before the law which they have never before enjoyed, an immunity from op pressive taxation which has never yet been their portion, and a chance to learn the alphabet of freedom which, In the not distant future, may lead them far; but It Is only to fly In the face of hard and stubborn facts to treat such a peo ple as if they had generations of free dom behind them, and well-defined ideas about republican Institutions as a com monplace of their dally experience. No jrreater mistake can be made than to assume that there Is any party capital to be manufactured out of ringing the changes on the contrast between our own form of government and that which nas been deemed best suited for the Filipinos. It is a new experience for the American people, but the least enlightened of them are not so ignorant of the conditions of the Philippine problem as to accept clap trap for statesmanship In seeking some practical method of solution. Most of them have grasped the Idea that to the United States, as the greatest of all the Pacific powers, a foothold In Eastern Asia may prove an Invaluable acquisition. That it offers a new point of attack is not to be questioned, but that it also supplies a most desirable and effective base for both military and commercial Influence Is equally obvious. It is true that we did not go to war with Spain to strengthen our position In the Pacific, but it Is equally true that we must count it among the most profitable results of our victory that there was left on our hands a posi tion which adds greatly to the security of our present and future interests In that part of the world. As a. question of National- politics, the only matter under con troversy ought to be how to utilize that position to the best possible advantage. It should be conceded, without respect to party differences, that the future of the people of the Philippine Islands Is safer In, our hands than it would be In that of any other nation which might have assumed their guardianship. We have accepted, before the world, a duty not only toward these people themselves but toward every other country having well-defined interests there, and partisan rancor could not be more conspicuously out of place than In trying to make that duty difficult of fulfillment As it hap pens, the speeches of the antl-Admlnls-tratlon Senators may be searched In vain for any practical suggestion toward the Improvement of Philippine government, or tending to simplify any of the ques tions relating to the material develop ment of the islands. The fact Is, of It self, sufficient to consign reams of the speechmaking on which weeks has been wasted to deserved oblivion. at the Hotels.

French Boric to Carry Jfitrate B000 Ullcs for f 1 80 Per Ton Q,Hiet Day on the Portland, Water Front. The tie-up of the steamboats on the river, due to a strike of the engineers, has complicated the export lumber busi ness In this port somewhat. A number of vessels are under charter for foreign business, and in the caso of some of them at least the logs for the lumber or the piling with which they will load have not yet been towed to Portland. As some of the charters to be filled are some distance in the future, the matter Is not serious as yet, but If it should become so, sawmill-owners are figuring on something which 'comes strictly under the head of new business. This Is to bring logs in by rail from down-river points. The Astoria &. Columbia River Railroad taps mora good timber than any other road of its length In the country, and there are a dozen places between Portland and As toria where logs can be loaded on cars with very little expense. The road has for the past ' three years been hauling largo numbers of spruce logs from the Necanlcum River Into Astoria, and it Is stated that there is considerable money in the operation at rates but little above those now demanded by the tow boats. This method, of course, could be applied only to logs on the Oregon side of the river, except at points where they could be warped across or towed across by gas oline launches, which are quite plentiful on the lower river. Log hauling is quite a prominent factor In the receipts of Puget Sound local roads running into Se attle and Tacoma, and if a satisfactory rate can be secured from r. Hammond's road, some business of this kind Ms not improbable here. UP THE PELLY IU.YEH. Portland Stenmbontmnn Takes a Steamer Into Some New Territory. Captain Mitchell Martineaux. well known In this city, where he resided for many years, has Just added another to his already long list of interesting ex ploits with steamboats. He has Just re turned to Dawson -after taking the steam er La France up the Pelly River to Hoole Canyon, a distance of over KXT miles. Pilot Henderson, who assisted Martin eaux, gives a very interesting account of the trip. In describing the country, he says: "The Valley of the Pelly is a far more fertile one than that of the Yukon proper. The tributary streams look like gold-bearing streams, and from the pan- nlngs we made the Indications certainly are that there is gold In good quantities somewhere In .the Pelly basin. I should not be the least surprised if prospectors eventually strike another fine camp some where in the Pelly. "The tributaries of the Pelly ore numer ous, and the valley seems to be of great width, fertile and productive. It is a modern paradise. Game Is plentiful. We saw moose and bear from tho steamer, and tracks were numerous all along. It must be a grand place for a hunter. Wo captured a young moose and brought him down the river, but he died when we reached Selkirk. "McKinnon and two old men at Ross River are the only white men we saw on the entire stretch along the Pelly. They had spent the Winter at Ross River build ing a post for the traders whom wo took up. On the way down we saw several parties of Indians appear at points along the shore. "Indications of coal were also seen along the Polly by our party. It is under stood the police will establish a post on the Pelly, probably at Hoole Canyon." LOW FREIGHT RATE. French Bark WJM, Carrr Nitrnte B0OO Miles for $1 SO Per Ton. The French bark Du Couedic has been chartered to carry a cargo of .nitrate from a west coast port to San Francisco at Jl SO per ton, which is about the lowest rate that has been reported this season. The distance is over 6000 miles, and. it is doubtful If anything but a bounty-fed French vessel .could make such a long trip for such a low rate. The exceeding ly low rate would not seem so strange. If freights were good In San Francisco, in which case there would be an opportunity for the vessel to recoup some of her losses, in an added profit on the outward trip. Rates out of San Fijinclsco, however, are hovering around 23 shillings to 27s 6d, with a steadily Increasing supply of ton nage and no proportionate Increase in the business for ships. In Portland no recent transactions have been reported In freights, and the majority Of the export ers are not very sanguine about any im provement in rates, no matter how large the grain crop may be. The condition of the market may have some effect on the situation so far as early ships are con cerned, a high market Inducing lively selling, but even this is deemed hardly probable, as the supply of tonnage in Bight Is much greater than ever before at a corresponding date. WATER FROXT WAS -QUIET. Steamboat Strike Reduced the SIxe of the Crowd From Outside Points. With most of the steamboats tied up on account of the engineers' strike and no work among the ships, tho water front was a quiet place yesterday. A few of the smaller boats were running and the T. J. Potter, as usual, made her dally start for tho beach and tho Bailey Gatzert for Astoria. The -steamship Columbia ar rived in from, San Francisco last evening, bringing a full cargo and a fair list of passengers. The engineers' strike mate rially affected the sire of thecrowd which came in from near-by points, as a Fourth of July celebration offers special induce ments for people living in localities where boats are the only means of transporta tion. Special rates are alwayn made, the boats are held in Portland until after the fireworks, and the opportunity for a steamboat excursion in addition 'to the celebration proves an attraction which has always heretofore brought out a crowd.

I saw from a dozen to 15 women hitched two and two on an 18-inch breaking plow, and they marched right ahead through the tough ground with that plow, tearing up five acres a day on an an average. There was a man holding the plow. The work these people did was as effective as could have been done by horses or oxen. Tho wdmen seem to take their, hard labor as a matter of course. They arc very cheerful over It, Downing, Hopkiiis &Go. Established WHEAT AND STOCK BROKERS Room 4, Ground Floor laughing and Joking as they snake that great steel blade through the turf. I am told that scores of these girls who draw plows all day have vitality enough 4ef t to dance through the greater part of the night. They are broad of shoulder, heavy hipped and muscled like wrestlers. They may not be beautiful to look at, but they are healthy-looking, and moreover they are full of tho determination that mokes new country open out.'- These will dls appear In a few years, and another gen eration will know of these hardships only by hearsay or as of tradition. They are only an Incident of pioneering. It Is diffi cult to realize that such hardships and privations are necessary In this day of tho world and on this continent; but It will not be denied that this sort of pluck and endurance ie a good Indication that upon this new and final frontier line there will be built up a rugged society that will prove an Important addition to the social elements of tho Western Hemisphere. MR. ADAMS AGAIN. Objections to Him s a Disturber of the General Peace. PORTLAND. July 3. (To the Editor.) The controversy between Henry Austin Adams and some of the Portland divines has already become as tiresome ns most Issues of a controversial nature are cer tain to be where the lines are not sharply drawn between a purely analytical and a strictly metaphysical diagnosis. It can always safely be taken for grant ed that it Is not within the province of any man who plunges Into a religious dis cussion to attempt to "set right" in the public's eye the Justice of any creed or the manifold advantages of any belief. In embracing religion in any of its forms every man la a law unto himself So much In this depends on temperament, early environment, Intellectual develop ment and association, that whether a man is a slncero believer In the Catholic faith or is a strict adherent to the established forms of worship In the Protestant churches, he is doing nothing In his church affiliations that a busy world Is called upon to take cognisance of. From the point of view of even the strict Ro manist a rnan can be a Catholic, be a good citizen and still hope to live on terms of amity with his neighbors, who. from their limited opportunities for a wise discrimination between creeds, may be striving to live right as the equities of our existence may have appealed to them tho most strongly, through embracing any other1 religion. The strongest compliment the intelligent Protestants of Portland ever paid the Catholics was found in the liberal patron age they gaveuhe lecture tbur of Henry Austin Adams when ho was- here some weeks ago. Protestants gendrally attend- Ued these lectures without the least feeling of Intolerance or resentment toward the Catholic faith. They went to be instruct ed, to learn something from the lecture of a man whose coming was heralded as an event of some Importance In the Intellec tual advancement of Portland. These Protestants knew. Just as every discrim inating Catholic knows, that there Is much that Is good In the Catholic religion, a goodness In Itself that Is the Immediate corollary of right living under any form of worship. They went to Mr. Austin's lectures In Portland, they gave the lec turer an earnest and respectful hearing, and he would have departed in peace hud not one of the leaders 1n Portland church work thrown down the gauntlet by open ing up a subject of discussion that Is dominated by "fixed" beliefs, tenets of faith that are as Immutable as it has been possible for centqrles of human en deavor and constancy to make them. The trouble with our professional brethren In the religious world here is that" they are inclined to take seriously what the man of affairs knows is but an incident of our existence. An apostate usually (not always, mind you) is either a weak man or a bad man. From the very act of his "back sliding" he Is cer tainly at least not fitted for leadership along the aggressive lines that Invariably lead, to this antagonistic. Mr. Adams him self is neither an Intellectual man In the sense that his doctrinal views are sound, nor js ne an authority from the stand point of his own powers of discriminating to a purpose. He has mastered the arts of cheap oratorj', and he knows how to ap peal to an audience made up of his own following who are ready to accept views of their faith in everything, and who are found equally ns ready to applaud every covert attack on other formsof worship. Mr, Adams' lectures are open to criti cism, to eevore criticism, from even the standpplnt of the representative Catholic himself. If there Is one thing tho United States Is committed to for all time, it Is the perpetuity of Its public school sys tem. There may be minor evils connected with this system of public Instruction, just as there are subjects of reasonable criticism connected with the management of the Catholic Church. Catholics un doubtedly have the right to educate their children in the parochial schools of their own faith. Neither Mr. Adams nor any Catholic with even a quasi-official con nection with tho chufch however has the right to attack the American system of public instruction. This is something the -Catholic Church of America should have learned long ago It does only at Its own peril. Some of the orthodox Catholics of Portland even have charged that the vi cious system of public Instruction in Port land was directly responsible for what the Portland people will beat remember as the McDaniel murder trial. Mr. Adams ref erences to the American system of public instruction were untimely, hte strictures on this sV6tem were unjust, and his re marks on the immorality of educational work free from church dominance or In terference were Intended to inflame the minds of many against a religion which has taken Mr. Adams so far under its wing as to stand sponsor for him in his well-advertised lecture tour. The matter of recognition of divorces is something that should be kept within the church Itself. Mr. Adams' charge (even by Innuendo) against the virtue of Ameri can womanhood outside the pale of the Catholic belief, brands him as a bad actor of the old melodramatic school and a dis creditable man in every way. An allega tion from any source that prenatal mur der is a practice prevalent among prot ectant women is an attack at once as cowardly as it Is unjust. That the birth rate Is lower in Protectant communities than it is in some Catholic countries Is not evidence In itself of. Immorality in the lives of Protestant peoples. Protest ants here might remind their Catholic friends that tfhere civilization advances the birth rate diminishes. The solution of the Issue involved In the subject of a large progeny living in squalor and ignor ance where omaller families live in plenty and under the light of steady Intellectual advancement. Is something that the Cath olic Church has nat handled to the- satis faction of an age that discriminates to a purpose in reaching conclusions on, mat ters of large moment. The work of the church Is beat performed when it aims to encourage the general brotherhood of men, irrespective of creed. The church itself must not forget, as It often -does, that It llvei only off the bounty of the Industry, the sobriety and the intel lectual and Industrial forces of any com munity in wlch It thrives. The church (not religion) Is of ,paras!tic origin, and equally as much Is it of parasitic develop ment. It may bo conceded that this ex crescence is 6f a healthy, parasitic growth. and that In the grand order of things re- 1593, Chamber of Commerce llgion Itself Is a force, the power of which for good no man can gainsay. No Intel ligent community, however, will permit any church or creed to stand sponsor for all the good that emanates from the com bined efforts of Its members. The church In the position of a censor of a people's morals is a failure. The work of the church is rather one of broad humanity, where charity and efforts toward concilia tion may hope to accomplish what Invec tive and invidious attack never do. As an orator whose views arc worthy of any rec ognition frctn, a discerning public, Henry Austin Adams Is a failure. As a repre sentative Catholic, he brings reproach on the church whose leaders are intemperate enough to stand sponsor for his utterances. ONE WHO HEARD MR. ADAMS. SMOKE IS WASTE. Economic Loss in Escape of Carbon, . Grenae and Ash. -American Medicine. The money loss from unburnned smoke may be estimated from an experiment made In Manchester, England, last Feb ruary. At a point about three miles from yie cent6r of the city a sample of snow, which had been lying on the ground for ten days, was melted and the dry residue weighed and analyzed. It was found to be equivalent to something over ten pounds to the acre, and consisted of 45.0 per cent carbon, 6.9 per cent grease, and 44.5 per cent ash. Another sample taken from near the center of the city showed about three times the amount mentioned, or nearly one ton of soot per square mile per day. The grease mixed with the soot makes it stick to the buildings or what ever else It falls upon. In Chicago the Edison Company, recog nizing that "smoke is horsepower going up the chnmncy," has appropriated ?20. 000 to carry out plana to save somo of the loss It sustains In this way. In London the Coal Smoke Abatement Society is making an inquiry concerning domestic grates which promises to yield valuable results. Although financial self-interest should spur on the reform, it 13 generally found that law and governmental regula tion aro required to bring about reform. "Why do notthe American woirfen's clubs take up the subject? It is in the line of their avowed function as to national housekeeping and public health.
