PAGE 18 TOO RAPID
Count Maisuuata Looks for
a Crash in This Country.
.SAYS WE ARE GOING TOO FAST
Declare That an Excessive Amount
of Business Is Being; Done on
Borrowed Capital Cx.
pectM a. Panic.
yiEXKA, July 1$. Count Matsuuata,
the ex-Minister of Finance of Japm, who
recently returned from a month's visit to
the United States, said to the correspond
ent of the Associated Press:
"While I was greatly Impressed with
the tremendous energy of the Americans
and their wonderful commercial develop
ment, I fear that the too rapid progress
of the United States is likely to experi
ence a serious setback In the near future.
The commercial energy of the Americans
Incomparably suprasses anything In Eu
rope. This Is undoubtedly one of the
principal causes of the economic progress
of the United States. I perceive in many
directions where European countries are
already affected by American expansion
and I think it likely that they will be
still more affected In the future. But
America's progress has been so exceed
ingly rapid that I fear some sudden dis
aster, as, in my opinion, too much busi
ness has been done on borrowed capital.
This, coupled with the magnitude of the
commercial operations common In the
United States, will probably lead to a
panic at the first untoward circumstance,
fiuch as a bad harvest or similar misfor
tune. While there are many strong banks
in the United States, there are also many
weak ones, whose failure will render a
crash Inevitable. I fear that some of
these banks are lending too much money
to aid business enterprises."
REID AT BANQUET.
'Tells Liverpool the Ship Combine !
2Vot a 3Ienacc to Her.
LIVERPOOL, July 18. Speaking at a
banquet given in his honor by the Ameri
can Chamber of Commerce, Whltelaw
Reld, the head of the United States Em
bassy to the coronation of King Edward,
congratulated the country upon the rapid
recovery of the King.
Referring to the conclusion of peace in
South Africa, Mr. Reid said:
"It has now become plain that this
peace is to be permanent, that the
' coalescing of the hostile parties Is to be
genuine, and that as In case of our Civil
War there is to arise from the battle-field
of two determined and worthy foes a
compact, united power, embodying both
and greater than both. Your amnesty
was followed only a few -Reeks later by
oura"
Dealing with Liverpool's improvements
of her docks and her ability to hold her
own as a seaport against Southampton,
Hamburg and the Manchester Canal, Mr.
Rcid said:
"If you have sustained the threatened
dangers of recent years, you can surely
face with equanimity the terrors of the
Pierpont Morgan venture. I suggest that
the apprehension aroused by the recent
change in shipping with which his name
is identified is somewhat exaggerated.
Your power to secure at will for the
navy as many cruisers as ever seems to
be not in the least imperiled. If built
in your shipyards, such vessels are for
bidden to &ss under our flag by a law
almost as old as our history and almost
as hard to change as our Constitution.
If you accept the gloomiest view regard
ing the future control of the Atlantic
carrying trade, it does not follow that
New York would use that control to weak
en the port most Important to It, namely,
Liverpool. Even monopolies are not sup
posed to thrive by damaging their best cus
tomera Besides, the monopoly in this
case Is fanciful. None has been created,
I think none is desired, and I know none
can long be successful."
Mr. Reld maintained that the Morgan
combine obviates violent fluctuations in
rates, and insured to Great Britain a
great neutral fleet on which Its food could
be borne in spite of any possible enemy.
WASHINGTON, July IS. Unless White
law Rcid changes his mind, there will be
no special representative of the United
States at King Edward's coronation next
month, and Mr. Choate will attend in the
usual form. Mr. Reld has notifies the
State Department that he intends to sail
for the United States on the 24th insL.
and, of course, the special embassy will
be broken up.
CABINET IS UNWIELDY.
Premier Bnlfour "Will Reduce the
Xnxnber of His Ministers.
LONDON, July IS. The fact that all the
Ministers except Earl Cadogan, Including
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, attended yes
terday's council shows that Prime Min
ister Balfour has asked all of them to
remain In office till the end of the present
session of Parliament. The Marquis of
Londonderry. Postmaster - General, in a
public speech yesterday afternoon, an
nounced that Mr. Balfour had asked him
to retain the Postmaster-Generalship, and
that he had consented to do so.
It is understood that Mr. Balfour In
tends to reduce the number of Ministers
in the Cabinet, which has been increasing
in recent years, until it has become un
wleldy. fhe Duke of Devonshire, President of
the council; the Marquis of Lansdowne,
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs;
Joseph Chamberlain, the Colonial Secre
tary; the Earl of Selbourne, First Lord of
the Admiralty, and the Marquis of Lon
donderry, Postmaster-General, it is under
stood, have consented to retain their pres
ent portfolios In the new Cabinet. Lord
George Hamilton. Secretary of State for
India; C. T. Ritchey. the Heme Secretary;
R. W. Hambury, President of the Board
of Agriculture; W. Su John Brodrlck,
Secretary of State for War; A. Akers
Douglas. First Commissioner of Works,
and Walter Long. President of the Local
Government Board, will remain In the
Cabinet, but their portfolios may be
changco. George Wyndham will remain
Chief Secretary for Ireland, but with a
seat In the Cabinet; the new Lord Lieu
tenant having no seat in the Cabinet, and
being rather a social representative of
the sovereign than a political representa
tive of the government.
DATE OF THE CORONATION.
iCing Edward and Queen Alexandra.
Will Be Crowned August O.
LONDON. July IS. An official notifica
tion was issued this morning that by the
King s command the coronation of King
Edward and Queen Alexandra will take
place August 9. Two rehearsals of the
procession from Buckingham Palace to
Westminster Abbey took place this morn
ing, and the officials of the various state
..departments concerned In the Abbey cere
mony are again busy with preparations

Lansdowne Explains Chinese Affairs.
LONDON. July IS. Replying to a ques
tion in the House of Lords today regard
ing affairs in China, the Foreign Secre
tary, Lord Lansdowne. said it was hoped
to restore Tien Tsin to the Chinese with
in a month. Answering another ques
tion. Lord Lansdowne said that the Chi
nese indemnity debt was a geld debt,
but Great Britain was not vindictive,
and, in consequence of the serious depre-
elation In the value of the tael, had sug
gested to the other powers a mitigation
of the terms, by which, during the first
eight years, China should not pay more
than she would have had the tael main
tained the value at which it stood "When
the protocol was signed. The other pow
ers decided to relieve China, but dlffored
as to the means to be employed.. Lord
Lansdowne thought every effort should
be made by Great Britain to act with the
other powers.
liord Lansdowne made a long explana
tion of Great Britain's relations with Italy,
maintaining that the status quo in the
Mediterranean Is not disturbed, and if it
were, he hoped Great Britain and Italy
would be found acting together. Though
no alliance exists In the mutual declara
tions of policy made In 18S7, with no na
tion was Great Britain on more friendly
terms than Italy.
"Warncd That Campanile "Would Fall.
LONDON, July IS. According to the
Venice correspondent of the Times, evi
dence is accumulating that the Venetian
authorities have only themsolves to
blame for the fall of the Campanile.
Twenty years ago, says the correspond
ent, an American engineer warned the
authorities that the tower would fall, and
a decade ago Vendrasco, an old builder
with a life of experience in Vienna, who
was employed In making repairs on the
tower, declared It would collapse unless
It were strengthened. The fall of the
tower produced a thick red dust, which
spread like a hanging cloud over the city.
This, with the rumbling, volcanic-like
noise, startled the Inhabitants of the
most remote suburbs. Thousands of sol
diers and police aided In allaying the
panic
Gcrmans New Meat Law.
WASHINGTON, July IS. Consul-General
Frank Mason, at Berlin, has Informed
the State Department, In a report dated
June IS. that the code of regulations for
carrying into effect, on October 1 next, the
German meat-Inspection law have been
Issued by the Imperial health officer. Un
der paragraph 12 of, the new law fresh
meats can be Imported only In whole car
casses. Carcasses of cattle and hogs, but
not of calves, may be split In half, but
the halves are to bo left together and ac
companied in all cases by the head, heart,
lungs and kidneys. Cow beef must ha,ve
the udder attached, and carcasoes of pork
must include the tongue. Excepting hams,
bacon and Intestines, no piece of pickled,
srnoksd or otherwise preserved meat
weighing less than four kilograms may

Poles Organize for Agitation.
BERLIN, July 18. The leading mem
bers of the Polish aristocracy resident in
Berlin are quietly organizing, with the
object of refusing all court invitations
on account of Emperor William's anti
Polish speech at Marlenburg. Prince An
ton, of the ancient house of Radziwlll, is
reputed to be at the head of the move
ment. He has long been a favorite at
court, and was formerly Adjutant of
Emperor William I. This news comes
from Polish journals, and excites jubila
tion; but so far as Prince Radziwlll Is
concerned. It Is regarded as doubtful, as
ho had heretofore considered the Polish
agitation as not likoly to work any good
to his people.

MODOCS SPARED THEM
FIRST PEACE COMMISSIONERS HAD
A VERY CLOSE CALL.
Major High Tells of the Cunning and
Good Traits of the Famous
Captain Jack.
KLAMATH FALLS. July 16--(Speclai
correspondence.) The festivities indulged
in by the Indians on the Klamath reser
vation near here. Incident to their Fourth
of July celebration, together with the
presence of Major High, who was Indian
agent 30 years ago. have revived many a
blood-curdling story about "Captain
Jack," the leader of his tribe. In the fierce
Modoc War against the whites. Major
High is still in the employ of the Gov
ernment He attended the Indian cele
bration on the Klamath reservation on
the Fourth, and there met a number of
the old warriors who were his new wards
30 years ago, when he was agent, and be
fore the Modoc War was fairly Inaugu
rated. One story related by Major High, which
has never been published, deals with the
lives of two Government officials, two of
Klamath's leading citizens, and three In
dians, then friendly to the whites. It also
shows Captain Jack to have been a deter
mined warrior, but withal a man not
void of good traits and humane Instincts.
Lending Up to the "War.
Before taking up "the story. It should
be borne In mind that for nearly 10 years
prior to the time of the Incidents related
the Modoc Indians In the Klamath Basin
bad refused to remain upon the reserva
tion assigned them by the Government,
alleging dissatisfaction with their treat
ment at the hands of the United States
Indian agents. The "basin" had in the
meantime become partially occupied by
settlers under the pre-emption act The
Indians practiced a system of petty an
noyances to these pioneers, with the evi
dent Intention of Inducing them to aban
don their settlement"?. These reports went
promptly to Washington, and It was only
about a year before the Government de
cided to force the Modocs back upon the
reservation, that Major High, as agent,
found himself a member of a "peace com
mission," detailed to hold a peace confer
ence with the then leader of the Modocs,
w:ho happened to be the notorious Cap
tain Jack.
Peace Conference Arranged.
Jack and his warriors, who were divided
Into three bands, occupied what Is known
as the Tule Lake district. 15 to 40 miles
south and east of Klamath Falls. Colo
nel E. Otis, a field officer of the United
States Army, and Major J. N. High, thj
then Indian agent, met Ivan Applegate at
the town of Fort Klamath (then known
as Llnkville), and. after consultation
decided to communicate with Captain
Jack through a squaw known as
"Mary" and arrange for a friendly meet
ing the next day, with the hope of ef
fecting peace with the Modocs.
The woman left Klamath Falls soon
after dark on this May night She rode
a horse, and promised to return with her
message from Jack at dawn the next
morning. This she did. reporting that
Jack would see the commission that day
without arms and with only an equal
number of men. It was understood that
Captain Oliver C. Applegate, who was
then in charge of the sub-agency at
Yainax, on the reservation, should join
thorn the next day and act as secretary
of the commission, which he did. With
him came Jim Hill, the Indian, always
friendly' to the whites, and one other In
dian. These then made up the .party rep
resenting the white men and the Govern
ment, which went out on that occasion to
meet one of the fiercest Indian warriors
of whom border history makes any note:
Colonel E. Otis, U. S. A.; Major J. N.
High, Government Indian agent at the
time; Captain O. C. Applegate, In charge
of the aub-agency at Yainax; Ivan Ap
plegate, pioneer, Interpreter and general
defender of the early settlers; Jim Hill,
the friendly Klamath Indian, and one
other friendly Indian from the reservation.
At the Meeting: Place.
The party arrived at the rendezvous on
time, but no Indians were visible. The
meeting place was In an abandoned
dwelling, situated In Lost River gap,
about 14 miles from here to the southeast
Finally the Indians were seen coming
horseback and following the Lost River
road, which afforded the whites only a
partial view by glimpses, and the num
ber of Indians could not be determined.
Major High maintains that there were 70
in the band, while Captain Applegate Is
of the opinion that there were not more
than 50. They rode to a clump of- small
trees In a flat bend of Lost River, 'and
there detailed men from their band to
hold their horses. Later developments
shpwed them to have been armed with
Winchesters and revolvers. They left
their rifles behind with their horses, but
wore their pistols, as also did the whites,
despite the former precaution.
Indians Came to 3Iurder.
As soon as Captain Jack and his warriors
approached the meeting-house, it was ob
served by the Applegates, who understand
these tribes thoroughly, that they were
hostile, and but rudely concealed their
pre-determlned plan to murder the entire
commission. They did not greet the com
mission when they arrived, but elbowed
their way Into the cabin where the coun
cil was to be held. Captain Oliver Apple
gate went Instantly in among them to
determine whether they bore side arms.
This he soon ascertained by rubbing up
against them and feeling the butts of
their pistols through ihelf clothing. He
quietly gaVe his associates to understand
that Jack and his warriors were there
to murder all the whites and the friend
ly Indians. There seemed to be no other
recourse but to proceed with the busi
ness of. the peace commission, await re
sults and take chances, which at best
looked like certain death. At this point
Major High will be introduced and allowed
to tell the story In his own modest way:
"There was only one door to the little
abandoned dwelling in which we met It
was formerly occupied by a pioneer named
Galbralth. There was a little table on
the left of the door ao one entered. On
the side towards the door sat Colonel
Otis and on the other side Captain O. C.
Applegate, the present efficient Indian
agent for the Klamath?, who was acting
as secretary of the commission, reducing
all questions and answers to writing, to
be submitted to Washington. Ivan Ap
plegate was the Interpreter, and while
Captain Jack could speak fairly good Eng
lish, he preferred to speak through an In
terpreter on this and other similar occa
sions. I was sitting on the right of Colo
nel Otis and nearest the door. The cabin
was packed with Indians. They were in
an ugly humor and their questions and
answers and general demeanor did not
pleaw Colonel Otis. Finally, appearing
somewhat exasperated and evidently dis
couraged at the prospect of not arriving
at any satisfactory understanding, he gave
vent to a. remark expressing his feelings,
and at the same time wrenched his belt
around, bringing his revolver to the
front and within easy reach. All the com
missioners followed suit Scar-Faced
Charley. Jack's chief lieutenant, was
standing near me, but a Utile In front.
He looked -down at me. and. observing my
revolver's hilt, asked with a sneer what
I thought I was going to do with that
I answered that they had come there to
kill us, but some -of them would die as
well. I told him that I'd get him the
first one

eye and car had eeen and heard what
passed between Scar-Face and myself. He
came swiftly to us and asked what we
were quarreling about, but before 1
could reply he beckoned me to follow him
outside. I felt sure that I could eee my
finish. I went. As we passed out at the
door Jack said something to Scar-Face In
their native tongue, but under his breath.
I want to divert here to say that while in
the cabin and expecting every second
might be our last, I could not but observe
th6 calmness and absolute serenity of Cap
tain Applegate, whose hand never even
trembled In hlo writing although he knew
that any scratch of the pen might have
been his last.
"Jack and I walked about 10 paces from
the cabin, when he suggested that we He
down under some small underbrush, prob
ably sage brush. We talked there I
think about an hour. I was not In the
best of humor, and upbraided him, charg
ing that he had evidently come to a peace
conference with his warriors Instructed
to murder us. He looked at me silently
for a few moments and then answered
that ho had come there to kill us all. He
spoke fairly good English, I began to
reason with him. I first asked him what
he wanted; what he was holding out for.
He replied that he wanted for his people
the Tule Lake district, and explained that
without its grasses and fish products
neither their ponies nor themselves could
subslrt. He explained that the section
In question had belonged to their fathers
before them; that the only way to Insure
peace between thjm and the Klamaths
was to build a stone wall from the earth
to the sky, not meaning a material wall,
but a legal one, one which It would be
death for either tribe to cross. He grew
excited and Jabbed a stick Into the ground
with hla right hand, remarking as he did
It that he would hold that country, mean
ing the Tule Lake dlstric; and the lava
beds, or die in the attempt.
Speaking- for the Government.

taking the wrong course by deciding to
murder us. I explained that I was the

ing to treat him and his people fairly; that
I was not his personal enemy; that blood
shed would delav him In c-etttntr what
he wanted, etc. I told him that the An-
friends, when he was right, and that they
were the interpreter and secretary of our
commission, and that at present we could
not present the Modocs claims, etc. v at
Washington without the assistance of the
Applegates. He eeemed to follow me
closely, and hope began to revive for my
self and companions. I told him that
Colonel Otis had never done him a wrong,
but was a field officer of 'the United States
Army, and if Jack's band killed Otis the
Army would send enough soldiers out to
surely kill Jack and his people. I prom
ised that If he would give us time the
matter would be submitted to Washington
and he would be heard.
"Finally he fixed his piercing eyes upon
me and looked at me with an expression
of disappointment and anger which I
never shall forget, then slowly said:
" I came here today to kill you all,
but you have changed my mind for the
present. You and your friends may go this
time, but I'll be if I don't kill the
next peace commissioners who come to
me. I'm tired of this talk, talk; all time
talk.'
"I thanked him and suggested at once
that he go into the cabin and so inform
" 'When we left cabin I said to Scar-
race you not kill until I come back, so
your people are safe.'
"I then understood what It was he had
muttered to his lieutenant as we passed
out at the door.
"Our commission returned all s&fe, but
Jack kept his oath, and General Canby

could take my wife and mother, who
was sick, from Klamath Falls to Red
Blurts, Cal., where I would reach the
railroad. His warriors Infected the inter
vening mountains and plains, and life was
not safe. He told me. that he would guar
antee that I could make the trip unmo
lested. I agreed to get ready and start on
a certain date, which I did. SIkes Worden,
still living in Klamath Falls, drove the
ambulance, and George Barge drove the
wagon for us. We traveled the first day
and camped the first night and saw no
Indians. The second day was a repetition
of the first. On the second night about
1 o'clock I was sitting at my right front
wagon wheel smoking. My wife and
mother were sound asleep. I looked to
my right, and there, not three feet from
my side, stood an Indian warrior, tall. J

I swallowed my heart back a time or two
and then exclaimed:
" ''What do you want here?' to which
camo the answer In English. 'Nothing.
"I then asked. 'Where are you going?'
He answered, 'Nowhere.'
"I then ventured, 'Did you come here
to fight?' At this he broko Into a real
hearty, wild laugh, which rang out on the
night air almost like an echo from hell.
Between his fits of laughter he finally
ejaculated: 'If I had come to fight you
would not now be here to talk.' This re
assured me completely. I realized Instant
ly that what he had said was absolutely
true. He thenmotIoned me to a log a
few feet away, and. after assuring
me again of his friendly mission, taid:

"So saying he vanished into the dark
ness and I never saw him more. Again
alone In the forest, surrounded by blood
thirsty savages known to be on the war
path, I sat and thought over the strange
contradictory elements of character pos
sessed by the unfortunate Jack. He had
merely given me his word that I should
not suffer while passing through his al
leged territory or that occupied by his
men. and yet he had sent one of his men
to shadow me all the way and protect
me from his own men. Y"et about seven
months later Jack ami his men killed Ge .
eral Canby and Rev Mr. Thomas, of th
next peace commission. Jack paid' for h'
perfidy on the gallows at Fort Klamath
October 3, 1ST3."
