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. .

ton today, and when asked as (to the re
cent report that the headquarters were

SALT LAKE DRYING UP.
"Water Has Receded Six Feet Since
1804.
SALT LAKE CITY. 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."

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. During the year of
his rectorship, Dr. Kennedy has become
highly esteemed by the Vatican: He
has obtained more papal audiences In his
time than have all the other rectors of
the colleges combined for their compatriots.
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. She
says that while praying at a revival meet
ing of the Hollncas Sect, sometimes called
the "Jumpers' at the Pentecostal Union,
a white light broke upon her eyes, and
soon she was able to distinguish objects.
Her vision, she declares, Is now nearly as
good as it was before she became blind.
