THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1902. 3 PEOPLE WITH CUBA Reciprocity Favored by the Entih Country. OBSERVATIONS OF HENDERSON Confident. That Republicans "Will Carry Elections Voter Realize That This Result Means & Con tinuance of Prosperity. OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash, lngton, Aug. 5. Speaker Henderson says he has made a careful review of the situ ation in the West, and has studied It attentively to try to discern the drift of the sentiment among: the people, and flnds that the Republicans were never more united than now- "The Republicans believe they will win," said he, "and some of the Democrats hope that their own party will be defeated. They believe the people are thoroughly convinced of the wisdom of Republican policies, and there is a widespread feeling among all classes regardless of political parties that it is best for their welfare that the Republican party be continued In power. "My own state is decidedly in favor of the thoroughly tried and approved policies of the Republican party. It is a strong protection state. It is equally determined that anything that possibly can be done to curtail the dangers that lie in great combinations of capital must be vigorously and wisely treated by law. "The country believes that the Phil ippine question is settled, so far as the title and our duty are concerned, and that It only remains for this country to carry out firmly, kindly and wisely the policies Inaugurated by President Mc Klnley and President Roosevelt. "The country is overwhelmingly for the policy advocated by the Administra tion, and Indorsed by the House of Rep resentatives as regards reciprocity with Cuba, and will not be willing to abandon that position until It is consummated by Legislative action or treaty. "On the subject of revision of the tariff, the Republican party is now, as in the past, prepared to act whenever it can be done wisely and without seriously disturbing business. Prosperity is now stamped on the face of every part of the country, while from 1S93 to 1E96 it was only a question of bread and how to avoid starvation. Now it is a question of the equitable distribution of the products of labor and capital. Courage and hope are everywhere. There was never a moment when the country had greater reason to approve of the Republican party than It has now, and I do not entertain a doubt that in the coming elections the people will voice their ap provai at the polls. "The Republicans are united and the Democrats are divided, and their ad ministrations of the past are bitterly assailed by their more modern chief. The Democrats are .quarreling among themselves, while the Republicans are standing shoulder to shoulder, asking what Is right and determined to do it." Boston millionaire, who Is at the head of the largest "People's Trust Company," of New England, and Walter Vrooman, the originator of the WeBtern Co-operative Association; have decided to merge the two associations. Washburn is to be the general manager 6f.the new concern and Vrooman will handle a special line of work In connection with the business. It is aaid several million dollars are behind the project. . 1 MORE RURAL. MAIL ROUTES. Department Authorizes Several In Oregon. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 5.

Aug. 5. Great Salt Lake, which for several years has been slowly but steadily receding, has, accord ing to Director. Murdoch, of the United States Weather Bureau, now reached the lowest level ever recorded since observa tions have been taken by the department. Up tc August 13, the lowest mark ever recorded was July 11. Since then the lake has receded an additional four Inches. The fall o! the water since 1E94 amounts to nearly six feet, and on the low, flat, east ern share this has resulted in a recession of the water line during that time of fully three-quarters of a mile. In speaking of thii phenomenon, Director Murdoch said today: "Utal has been in a dry cycle for 17 or IS yean. In this period the precipitation has be(n considerably below the average. Precipitation sometimes moves in cycles of this haracter and duration, and I think a. prolonged period of Increased precipita tion is rearly due. But it will take several years tc brjng the lake back to Its former level." Sttndard Oil Pays A sain. NEW t'ORK, Aug. 5.

Says Treatment of Catholics in Phil ippines Was Bad. CHICAGO, Aug. 5. The American Asso ciation of Catholic Societies met this after noon and evening at the Y. QL C. A. hall. Jt was evident from the tenor of remarks made in the afternoon that the convention would not heed the manifesto of Arch bishop Ireland warning them against a discussion of the Administration's methods in the Philippines. At the evening meet ing Bishop McFaul, of Trenton, N.' J., was the principal speaker, and directed his attention to the treatment of friars and the schools in the Philippines. The bishop said: "The calm, intelligent observer must admit that some of the statements made in the public press regarding the situation in the Philippines were either incorrect or exaggerated. There was, nevertheless, a substantial foundation of truth in most of the reports, which amply Justified the strictures made upon those accountable for the abuse of power. "No one is foolish enough to admit that in affairs of so important a nature mere denials are conclusive, particularly when made by interested parties. We had al ready been warned to be on our guard by previous contradictions of reports which were afterward proved true, and found worse than at first suspected. When the news arrived that the Catholic churches in the Philippines were destroyed and looted, officers of high rank in the Army attempted to refute the charges; yet the destruction and looting of those sacred edifies are now so certain that claims for damages to ecclesiastical prop erty will be accepted by the Government. "Reports, too, of the frightful spread of drunkenness and Immorality after the occupation of Manila by the Americans were vigorously assailed. Is there now any one who has the audacity to question their truth. Since then wc have all heard of the water cure and the murderous or ders Issued by an American General. The perpetration of these' outrages "were not known for a time; they were, however, so flagrant that it was impossible to keep them from being communicated to the peo pie. The Introduction of the public school system was Just cause for alarm." The speaker then declared that the fed oration is deeply interested in obtaining Just treatment for the friars in the Phil ippines, who had suffered, he declared, "under so many cruel calumnies." Bishop McFaul charged that in selecting school teachers for the Philippines dis crimination had been practiced against the Catholics, because of a total of 957 teach ers, who, he said, had been sent to the inlands, but 18 or 19 were Catholics. "The Impression has gone abroad," the bishop said, "that America Is furnishing educational facilities to the Filipinos for tho first time and that the people were in a stato of dense ignorance. This is another calumny. During centuries the friars dwelt with the tribes of the Fili pinos, and it is to them that they are in debted for whatever they possess of edu cation and religion. They are a chaste and a pure peoplo, unaware of many of the vices of civilization until American soldiers occupied their soil." The convention will meet In executlvp session at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Would Retain Some Friars. ROME, Aug. 5. Cardinal Rampolla, the papal secretary of state, gave a faro well audience today to Father Santiago Paya, provincial of the Dominicans in the Philippine Islands, who will leave on the 7th Inst., for Manila, Cardinal Rampolla, in his conversation with Father Paya, limited himself to the statement that re ligious questions in the archipelag6 would be settled satisfactorily to all concerned. Father Paya in private conversation ex pressed doubt as to tho entire elimination of the Spanish friars of the four orders under discussion, though their total num ber in the Philippines has heen reduced to 300. It would be difficult to replace them in the schools, he said, as a special knowledge of local dialects is required in order- to teach the natives. Italia announces that Monsignor Guidl, at present in the office of Cardinal Ram polla, the papal secretary of state, has been appointed apostollo delegato to Ma nila. Archbishop Ryan's Correction. PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 5. Archbishop Ryan, who returned today from his visit to President Roosevelt, at Oyster Bay, stated that he was misquoted in regard to his attitude on the question of the re tention of the friars in the Philippines. He said: "My position in regard to the friars in the Philippines is not that they should be expelled, which we have no right to do, but they should be left to the pope and their generals, to be exchanged for members of their order of other nationali ties, especially Americans, when this can be effected. I believe that tho opposition of some of the Filipinos arises from the fact that some of the friars are Spaniards." Wants Money for College In Rome. ROME, Aug. 5. Thomas Kennedy, of Philadelphia, rector of the American Col lege at Rome, has left here for Naples and will sail for the United States, August 7. The principal object of Dr. Kennedy's trip to America ip to appeal for funds for the enlargement of the col lege, for which purpose he has purchased all the houses In the block in which the college is situated.

Recovered Eyesight Throush Prayer DENVER, Aug. 5. Mrs. Sarah Nessler, of 1352 South Ninth street, in this city, who has been blind for seven years, and whose case was pronounced Incurable by oculists, claims to have recovered her eyesight In a miraculous manner.
