8 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY. JULY 9, 1902. DANGER IN CHINA War May -Start There, Says Bishop Thoburn. SPEAKS ON EASTERN SITUATION Remarkable Growth, of Protestant Church in the Philippine Ho As cribes to Lack of Faith in Catholic Friars. "If there is any place where a European -war -will take place It -will he there," -was the keynote of an address -which was de livered by the Rev. Dr. J. M. Thoburn, bishop of the Methodist Church in India and adjacent countries, at the Grace Methodist Episcopal Church last night. The place to which the bishop referred was China, a country through which he has traveled extensively and the history of which he has studied closely. "Russia and Germany," said the bishop, "are anxious to secure portions of tne empire, and the time may come any day when we shall have to fight for our rights. One question before us 1b, "Were President 'Roosevelt to oppose a partition of the em pire by foreign powers, would the Amer ican people support him? The sentiment of the people indicates that they would." Following his statement of conditions in China, Bishop Thobum spoke instructively about National expansion. The great Empire of India had been built by com panies composed of Englishmen, Scotch men and Irishmen, and it had been held by them until government aid was in voked. The empire had not been created by the general government but by a few .persons with the aid of native police. The government had taken charge of the coun try, however, after the great mutiny, and .It had set the limits of the empire. Of the famines in India, there was a great deal to say. All had boen caused by drouths, but nevertheless the people of the, country were never so well oft as they are today. In the Philippines the war had been practically closed, and the Ameri cans could do for the Filipinos what the English did for the Indians. In Japan civilization was approaching the Amorlcan standard, if not exceeding it. One thing that could be noticed In tne Mikado's kingdom was that a cigarette law had been passed. By the law all per sons under the age of 21 years were for bidden to smoke cigarettes. The law had been proposed by a Christianized Japan ese, and It had been enacted. "In this country." said Dr. Thoburn, "such a law would have been fought by the cigarette trust." Speaking of America's duties to the Fili pinos, Dr. Thoburn said that education should be afforded the natives. At pres ent there are not enough teachers. Of the Roman Catholic religion he had nothing to say. Of the Roman Catholic friars he had learned from trustworthy people that four out of every five were scoundrels. Judge Taft's ludgment should be accepted, and If the Roman Catholic Church wished to hold the Islands as a part of its religious terri tory. It should ?end out priests upon whom the natives could rely. "If the church does not do so," said the doctor, "It will lose the community. The growth of Protestantism is increasing. In Manila we have thousands who are not members of our church but who are at tending our services because they wish to be enlightened upon the essential points of religion. Many of them were members of the Roman Catholic Church two years ago, and one of our members is a Fili pino who was banished from the Islands four years ago because he had a Bible in his possession. Bibles are supplied to all of our members, and they are taught to read them Intelligently. "In the school system the Government has made some blunders, but it has done better than other governments in similar circumstances. The principal complaint has been that there were not enough Eng lish teachers. The deficiency Is being filled as rapidly as possible. As a result of the teaching in the larger cities, many of the boys wish to come to this country to complete their education, and the outlook for the second generation is very encour aging." The address was received with applause, and then Judge Caples. ex-United States Consul at Valparaiso. Chile, made a short address. Judge Caples said that while In Chile he heard some Chileans remark that they would not be surprised to see the flag of the United States floating over the Cap itols of South America in future years. , He might not live to see the day, but his descendants would. On the rostrum with Bishop Thoburn and Judge Caples were seated Mayor Williams, who introduced the bishop to the audience, and J. K. Gill, who presided at the meet ing. WORK OF FISH COMMISSION The Past Year's Results the Best Ever Attained In Oregon, OREGON" CITY, July 8. The annual re port of Field Superintendent J. N. Wls jier. Jr., of the United States Fish Com mission of Fish and Fisheries, has just been completed, and shows the work of propagation accomplished by the com mission during the fiscal year ending June SO, 1902, for Oregon and Washington streams. The report covers all of the work handled under the direction of the commission in Oregon and Washington, with the exception of the output of the station at Baker Lake, Wash. In addi tion to this station, the Government has in the two states two stations on the Clackamas and tho Little White Salmon and four substations on Rogue River, Big White Salmon, Tanner Creek and Eagle Creek. With the exception of the Rogue River station, all of these sta tions are on streams tributary to the Co lumbia River. While large numbers of sllvcrslde salmon, brook trout, lake trout, steolhead trout and whlteflsh have been propagated and planted, the principal work of tho commission has been with the famous chlnook salmon. So success ful has the past year's work been that no less than 31,610,409 chlnook salmon fry wore planted in streams tributary to the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. These figures are greatly In excess of the re sults accomplished in any former year. The distribution has been very wide, and evory inlet of the Columbia and Willam ette Rivers has been stocked. Thirty miles up the Deschutes and in the Sandy on the gravel bars fry were planted. This distribution was. made to enable the j-oung salmon to feed plentifully and with out danger of overcrowding them. Clackamas the Central Station. Tho work of the Fish Commission has boen directed from the Clackamas sta tion, which is the headquarters of the field superintendent. Owing to his pres ence there, and to its proximity to the railroad, the propagation of numerous va rieties of trout has been carried out. Sec retary Gebhardt. of the Oregon Fish and Game Association, has kept In close touch with tho commission, and of the thou sands of trout fry planted by the associa tion in the various streams of the state, all have been cared for at the Clackamas station at the expense of the United States Government. The season Just closed has produced the greatest results of any previous season at this station. Besides 10,018,000 chlnook salmon eggs taken, brook trout, cut throat trout. Eastern brook trout, rain bow trout, steelhead and whlteflsh were taken in large numbers. Nine hundred thousand whlteflsh were received from Northville, Mich., and of this number 730,000 were planted In Lake Sequalltchew, Wash. There were 70,767 brook trout fry on hand at the commencement of the sea-? son, and in February and March 209,000 eggs were received from Leadville. Colo. The fry on hand were planted last Au gust, and of the 200.000 eggs, 157.9SD fry hatched therefrom were planted in 14 streams of Oregon and Washington, all but 30.000 of which were planted by the Oregon Fish andSGamo Association, to whom the fry were assigned by the Unit ed States Fish Commission. There are still S6S1 brook trout fry on hand at Clack amas station. Ten thousand cut-throat trout were received from "Verdi. New, for local fishermen and will soon be planted in Clackamas County streams. Trout Planted in 'ecnnicam. Ax the beginning of tho season there were 18,845 rainbow trout fry on hand, which were planted in the Nccanlcum River by tho state association. On March 16 100,000 lake trout eggs wore re ceived from Duluth, Minn. Of this num ber 9066 were lost, and of the fry result ing from the eggs 20,436 were lost. Twenty-five thousand fry were planted in Lake Sequalltchew, Wash., and 45.4DS in lakes in Multnomah, Lane, Lincoln and Yam hill Counties. From Rogue River sub station 70,000 steelhead eggs were received, but none of these reached the age neces sary for planting. Propagation of Salmon. Special attention was paid to the prop agation of chlnook or qulnnaat salmon at the Clackamas station. There were re ceived from the State of Oregon 220,000 eggs, and of this number 185,470 were dis tributed in the Spring Branch, a stream of water flowing Into the Clackamas River from the hatchery, except 10,000, which were exhibited at the Portland Carnival and planted in the Willamette River. The spawn from 2244 female sal mon was taken, resulting in 10,018,000 eggs. The average number of eggs to the salmon was 4464, and the average dally take was 20S.70S. The number of fry hatched was 8,670.150. Tho total loss for the season was 1,347,850, or an average of 13,895 eggs per day, and the total number of chlnook salmon planted during tho year was 8,330.227. The total loss of fish and fry was 129.S46. The per cent of eggs lost was 13.45, and the per cent of eggs hatched was 86.55. The work at the Rogue River station was exceptionally good. Chinook jand sll verside salmon and .steelhead trout we're handled. The season for taking chlnook salmon eggs began August 20. 1901, and lasted 64 days. In this time, 5,601,000 eggs were taken from 1515 females. The aver age dally take of eggs was 87,515, and the average number of eggs to the female was 3697. In one day, the spawn from 86 females was taken. The egg loss was 632.000, and the loss of fry was 31,937. a total loss of 663.937 for the season. The total number of eggs shipped and fish planted was 4.937,053. There were 3,071,063 fry planted in Rogue River, and 1.8S6.000 eggs were shipped to R. D. Hume, of Wedderburn, Or. At Rogue River Substation. There were 617.000 steclhead eggs taken from 299 female salmon at the Rogue River substation. The average number of eggs to the female was 2063. Of the whole number of eggs taken 115.650 were lost and 4SLO00 were shipped to Clack amas station and points in Colorado, Wy oming, Iowa, Minnesota, Vermont, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, and 25,000 were sent to Sandfort, Osnabruck, Germany. There were planted in Rogue River at Trail 20, 250 steelhead fry. Sllverslde salmon eggs taken at the Rogue River station amounted to 500,000 from 2GS- females. The average dally take was 25,315. The loss of eggs was 63,320, and the loss of fry for the season was 12.150. The remaining fry hatched, 424,530, were planted In Rogue River. On Little White Salmon River. On the Little White Salmon River, on the Washington side of the Columbia, 30 miles below The Dalles, is situated the Little White Salmon Fish Commission station, the largest station for the propa gation of salmon in the world. The tak ing of nearly 20,000,000 eggs from over 4000 female salmon in 32 days 'is something unusual In the work of fish culture. Of the whole number of eggs taken, over 15, 000.000 fry were distributed In waters trib utary to the Columbia. The close of the season at the Little White Salmon station shows the greatest year's work since the establishment of the station in 1897. There were 19.100.532 eggs taken from 4194 females, an average of 4353 to the salmon. The duration of the season for taking eggs was 32 days, and the average dolly take was 596,891. The total egg Joss was 3,178,800, and the fry loss was 719,995. The total number of f,ry hatched during the season was 15,921,732. The number of fish planted was 15,5S0,6S7, and the distribution was made In waters tributary to the Columbia River. Whlte Salmon Substations. Little White Salmon station has three substations, Big White Salmon, Tanner Creek and Eagle Creek. At the former station, 3,415.000 eggs were taken from 872 females. The number of eggs handled was 4.156,932, of which 741,932 came from Tan ner Creek. The egg loss was 50S,000. and the number of fry hatched was 3,075,932. There were shipped from this station to the Little White Salmon station 573,000 eggs. The per cent of loss was 1203, and there were 2,745,432 fry planted. Tanner Creek substation received 804,400 eggs from 234 females and 26,000 aggs from Eagle Creek substation, a total of 830,000. The average daily take was 33.516; dally loss, 7SS, and a vera go number of eggs taken from each female. 2437. To Big White Salmon substation, 741.932 eggs were shipped, and 45,000 more were hatched. The total amount of fry and eggs dis tributed was 786,932. The total loss of eggs for the season was 43.36S. The receiving season lasted 43 days and the last take was made October 5. , At Eagle Crock Station. Sevan hundred and fifteen thousand eggs were collected at Eagle Creek substation. 59S.B6S of which were shipped to Little White Salmon and 26,000 to Tanner Creek. The whole number collected was supplied from 146 females, and the season of tak ing the eggs lasted 17 davs from Septem ber 15 to Ofctober 1. The averag daily take was 42,058. During the eyeing period 90,132 eggs were lost. All of the eggs taken at Eagle Creek were sent to Little White Salmon and Tanner Creek for distribu tion. The high stage of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers is likely to delay the opening of the season's work, but never theless preparations are actively going forward, and the commission will make a strenuous effort to accomplish even more this year than during the year Just closed. The experience obtained In the year's work will be a valuable aid. Racks will be placed In the Clackamas and Rogue Rivers at once, and as soon as the water falls sufficiently to permit it, racks will be placed In the Upper Columbia streams. It is the Intention of the commission to have a regular employe of the commis sion in charge of the work at each point, with the object of giving the various em ployes an opportunity of acquainting themselves with conditions and familiar izing themselves with every detail of tho work, so that they will know what course of action to take when emergencies arise. Better results have always been obtained with a Government employe In charge, as the director Is given to understand that the quality of the work and the amount accomplished will reflect upon his stand ing in the commission. The use'of tem porary men to take charge of stations and substations has been found very un satisfactory In nearly all cases. They re ceive no more pay 'than the men under them, and this, coupled with the lack of permanent authority, usually causes dis sension and disobedience of orders. IXCREASE YOUR CAPACITY For Hard Brain Work. Horsford's Acid Phosphate supplies Just the material that is most wasted by brain work and nervous cxertlon-the Phosphates COUNTY FORCE WILL STAY "SO SWEEPING CHANGES," SAYS JUDGE WEBSTER. For the Present, Present Placehold ers Will Be Kept Later on Xeiv Men May Be Put On. County Judge Webster states that there will be no sweeping changes made among county employes who owe their places to the will of the Board of County Commis sioners. These include men on the bridges, Alblna ferry and a few" minor positions at the Courthouse. The law providing for the election of Road Supervisors re lieved the County Court of that patron age. Judge Webster says that there prob ably will be some changes, but that they will occur gradually. In speaking upon the subject yesterday, he said: "There is ether business which demands the atten tion of the court, and as there Is no need oi naste, it is not likely that the court will make any appointments Immediately. There will bo no appointments until the BISHOP J. M. THOBURN, OF METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. r-.V"' a . , .i&v. . .' y ' v ? - . . i"V . ' s Si WHO LECTURED OX THE applicants and those who already hold the positions have been Interviewed. I did nothing until I assumed office, and there are many things to be looked over which J demand our Immediate attention. I see that the papers have stated that Judge Bullock has been retained as bailiff. That is a mistake. The old appointees have simply held over and will continue to do so until their successors are named. The only appointment I have made was that of my fetenographer. "There are so many applicants it takes time to look them over. We will have to segregate them and list them, and decide .where we want to -make a change, and then gradually make one now and then. We will have to look over things generally and find out how matters are." Sheriff Storey already has things run ning smoothly, and in a fcr days attor neys and others having business to trans act at the Sheriff's office will not notice anything strange about the conduct of the affairs of the office. This will be to some extent d.ue to the fact that Sheriff Frazler, who is a man of good adminis trative ability, surrounded himself with a most efficient force, and kept all work connected with the office fully up to date. The tax department, under the control of N. C. Ovaltt, has been run In the most systematic manner possible; the taxes for the year are nearly all in, and all that remains for Mr. Ovaltt to do is to check up and balance up a few items. The first act of note performed by the new Sheriff was to sign a deed covering the Portland Savings Bank building, otherwise known as the Commercial block, in favor of the Title Guarantee & Trust Company. The consideration was $151,000. The property was disposed of recently to satisfy a mortgage held by the United States Mortgage & Trust Company, and the Title Guarantee & Trust Company was the purchaser at the sale. The Sheriff has occasion to appoint a number of deputies residing In the county precincts, who desire a commission, so that they have authority to preserve the peace and make arrests If necessary. Mr. Storey, as he is responsible ih an official capacity for the acts of these deputies, has decided that they must each file a bond In the sum of $1000. In placing his first order for supplies for the prisoners confined In the county jail. Sheriff Storey specified that home products and manufactures shall be given i preierence over oiners. ine .uanuiaciur- HO jvauLiailuti u uuuuiii-?:9 vc: iiucio.u i io near ui nil miui uiieiiiin iu feive iucu members a lift.

Carl Brandes, the new County Auditor, pnd his deputy. F. Otto Burckhardt, have their hands full familiarizing themselves v.ith the books, papers and -various docu ments In the office. The law requires the Auditor to publish two semi-annual re ports, one of which covers the period end ing with and Including June . This In cludes the June bills and accounts, many of which come in after July 1. Mr. Pope vacated the office July 1. and has not made out and published'the report. Mr. Bran des says he will not make out any suoh report, as It Is or was the duty of his pre decessor to do so. WANTS DIVORCE FI103I WIFE. James Hosrnn Charges Her "With De sertion nnd Cruel Treatment. James Hbgan yesterday filed suit In tho State Circuit Court against Sarah A. Hogan for a divorce, because of desertion and cruel treatment- According to the complaint the parties have not lived together since July, 1S92, and ever since that time Jlogan has lived in Multnomah County.

Stratton. She appears, from the ordinance adopting the report of the viewers wherein one Is awarded damages In the sum of $1245 and assessed benefits In the sum of $1559. The ordinance was approved June 23, 1502. Mrs. Stratton doubtless wants considerably more dam ages awarded to her, although the notice of appeal does not so state. Articles of Incorporation.

Honolulu, lying out on the bosom-of the Pacific Ocean, alone nnd 2iflo miioo mm the mainland, "scooped" the world on June 26 on the coronation of Edward and Alexandra as King and Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and all their dependencies that are beyond the sea. The people of the Hawaiian capital knew naught of the ill ness of the King, nor of the postpone ment of his crowning, nnd the Britons among them, and Americans, too. ob served the day with prayer and feasting and Joyful celebration. The Honolulu Advertiser of June 27 de scribes the celebration held in these words: "Long live the King! "BrKons and Americans, men and women in whrm flows the Anglo-Saxon blood, vied with each other yesterday In cele brating the coronation 'of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. It was a day filled from Its early morning until Its close amid music and laughter with merry making, and glad-hearted Honolulans speeded the day. dancing away the hours which were marked on the other side of the globe with coffee nnd toast. "From cathedral service, reception and sports to ball and supper, the enthusiastic Britons went, each time with added. Inter est, until when the day was spent there was left only pleasing memories of Its events. Kneeling, sending aloft fervent petitions for long life and happiness as the portion of the monarch of millions of their fellows, tripping away the hours which brought to close the period of pleasures. It was all the day of the Briton, and right well did his American cousin aid him In the observance -of the epoch making occasion. - "As a fitting culmination to the day's celebration there was given a ball at the Moana Hotel, where the hours were danced away by the young people, amid a scene of beauty, the colors of England and America being blended In decorations. And when at length the day was over and Its joys only memories, the glad laughter of the departing told of their Joy and appreciation, their feeling for homeland and adopted country alike."

One Man Cannot Cover the Territory to Which the System Has Been Extended. The petition for additional free mall delivery service at Mount Tabor has not yet been acted on. A single carrier covers on foot a portion of School District No. 5. and mak'os one and a half deliveries per day. This is all that one carrier on foot can do. He was promised a horse and cart by the first of July, but has not received them. With a horse and cart the single carrier can cover the present route twice a day, but that Is about all. The 'petitioners who are asking for free delivery live outside the route se lected. Some live on the hill above the Poatofllce and others elsewhere beyond and outside the limits. The,y think they are entitled to the same privileges, as their neighbors, and cannot understand why a portion of the -Mount Tabor dis trict should be provided with free de livery and the rest left out, although en titled to the service. However, business of this 6ort takes time, and It Is consid ered probable that another carrier will finally be put in that district. According to the report Principal J. O. Hall, of the Mount Tabor School, district No. 5, there are over 700 pupils of school age and nearly COOQ, people in that district. One carrier on foot can reach but a por tion of these people, even if provided with a horse and cart, and It will require two carriers to make two full dally deliveries. This service has been asked for. IMPROVEMENT IN ALBINA. High BIocUs on Russell Street Are Belnjt Graded Down. The high bank on the two blocks on the north side of Russell street, between Ker by street and Gantenbeln avenue, Alblna, Is rapidly disappearing, and thus chang ing for the better the central portion of Alblna. One block between Kerby and Commercial streets, owned by Dudley Evans, Is being washed away by means ot water pumped up from Montgomery slough. Nearly three-fourths of the bank In this block has been torn down with a stream of water which has considerable force. This method of removing the dirt has proved a success as far as this contract is concerned. The north arm of Mont gomery's slough has received the dirt as It has been washed through a terra cotta pipe. When all the dirt In the block has been removed that Is desired, the quantity taken away will be about 10,000 cubic yards. Llnd & Manning have the contract. After some delay at the start they have been able to carry for ward the work without Interruption for several weeks. Only a few men have been needed to tend the pump in the ravine and handle the hose. In the block east of this one, owned by the Portland Trust Company, the grading Is being done by wagons and scrapers, and the dirt Is being deposited In the ravine. It will be some time before the work under way will be completed, but It will be a flne Improvement when It Is finished. These high blocks heretofore have shut off from the view to a large district In the heart of Alblna, and the residents interested are highly pleased to see them cut down. The grounds will no doubt be soon covered with good resi dences. TO DEDICATE NEW CHURCH. Third Presbyterian Building: Will Be Finished by September 1. The trustees" of the Third Presbyterian Church hope to have the new building on the corner of East Pine and East Thir teenth streets completed by the first of September. There has been much delay, on account of labor troubles. Much of the mill work had been ordered from the planing mills that had been declared un fair, and when 'the strike was declared part of the material from thlsjsource had been received and worked up. Carpenters were ordered out and work was stopped for nearly a month. Conditions have changed. More carpenters than were needed have asked for work on the build ing. The Inside Is being finished and the art glass Is being put in. It is desired to have the church ready for dedication by the time of the departure of the pastor, Rev. Robert McLean, for the Porto Rico mission field. Mr. McLean received a let ter from the secretary of the Home Mis sionary Board asking if he could not go to the Island by the first of September, but he desires to remain in Portland until the new church has been completed and furnished, and has asked that the time for entering on his new work In Porto Rico be October J, as first fixed. Mr. Mc Lean does not feel that ho should leave the Third Church until all the business connected with teh new building shall have been wound up. BURIED WITH G. A. R. HONORS. Funernl of T. A. Shetterly at Pleas ant Home Largely Attended. Robert Pool, of Portland, who attended the funeral Sunday of T. A. Shetterly, the G. A. R. man, who died suddenly near Pleasant Home on the night of the Fourth, says that It was the largest-attended funeral ever held In that district. Over 100 vehicles of every sort came in from the surroundingxcountry, and the church was crowded to Its utmost capa city. Rev. M. L. Hardingham, of Fair view, conducted the services in the church, after which the members of the G. A. R. pest of which he had been an active member finished the eervicea at the grave. The Woman's Relief Corps placed on the grave a magnificent floral piece, and there were other floral tributes. Mr. Shetterly had been spending the Fourth with his family with a friend near the Sandy River, and In the evening at 5 prepared to start for home. He stooped oyer In the act of hitching up the horses. The strain burst a blood vessel In his brain and he became uncon scious. Dr. Short was called, but he died at 12 o'clock that night. Mr. Shetter ly leaves a wife and four sons, two being at- home and two living in the East. He was highly respected at Pleasant Home, and was the most successful and active member of the G. A. R. post, and will be greatly missed. At the mfcetlng of the post of relief corps next Saturday a suit able expression will be adopted and spread on the minutes. Amateur Orchestra.

The Central Alblna Board of Trade has decided to hold off awhile on the proposed new public hall on the corner of Missis sippi avenue and Shaver street, for the reason that the lowest bidder for the work made a mistake of JCCO in his bid. He left out mill work entirely, and the mis take was not discovered until the di rectors were ready to let the contract. The bid was for 53400, with which the additional $600 made it too high. It was decided to build a concrete basement, and then let the building project rest for the present. M. A. Ross Post to Meet. The M. A.
