THE MORNING O KEG ONI AN, THURSDAY, AUGUST Ur 1902. CUBA COMES FIRST Roosevelt Will Make Sacri fice to Give It Relief. WILL GIVE UP SECOND TERM 4ppoIntment of Holmes as Snpreme Justice May Result In an Ef fort to Reopen the In sular Cases. OREG OXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Aug. 13. An Eastern paper quotes President 'Roosevelt as saying to a friend that he woud sacrifice as second term to secure reciprocity with Cuba. This may have been said, but, of course, everybody knows that the cause of Cuba would not be advanced by any such sacrifice, and It will not be necessary. If Roosevelt made the remark, It shows he thinks that the prom ises made should be redeemed. Recent reports from the island show that there is a strong Conservative element In the Island that is trying to prevent the hotheads from ruining the country by of fensive methods toward the United States. Intimations have already been given that the proposed tariff Increases are 111 ad ised, and the attempt to float the big loan In advance of any treaty arrangements with the United States Is regarded as inju dicious. MAY REOPEX INSULAR CASES. Effort May Be Made to Learn Stand of Xcvr Associate Justice. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Aug. 13. The selection of Oliver "Wendell Holmes to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court may result in re versing the insular policy of the United States. Justice Gray was one of those voting to sustain the Foraker act levying & duty on goods going from the United States Into Porto Rico, and also on goods coming from Porto Rico into the United States. Although free trade has since been established between the island and the United States, It was upon the decision in the Porto RIcan cases that the Philip pine tariff legislation of the last session was enacted. Ttffcre is no reason why another case could not be brought by some one import ing articles from the Philippines Into the United States. If the new Justice has a different view of the case than Justice Gray, and should vote with Fuller, Harlan, Brewer and Peckham, the whole insular policy would be changed, and absolute free trade between the Philippines and this country would, follow. It Is more than probable that those who are interested in exporting goods from the United States to the Philippines or bringing .Philippine goods to this country may think it worth while again to raise the question. It s not expected that Justice Holmes "will give any intimation as to how he stands upon this question, though it Is possible that some close friend of tho President ascertained his views before the appointment was made. In view of the conditions existing, It is hardly be lieved that the President would have ap pointed a man that he knew would over turn existing conditions. It is also inti mated that Holmes might follow a pre cedent that has been established In some cases by the court of not reversing a ques tion once settled. At the same time, many able lawyers believe that the court was wrong on its insular decisions, and they may try to have the case reopened. Xorthwcst Pensions. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.

He did not ask that the Governors of four districts be named by "Vargos Santos, nor that the Colombian Government should pay the foreign debts of the revolutionists, which General Urlbo-Urlbe said he considered vulgar and ridiculous conditions.

JOURNALISTS' CONTRACTS Plan for the Protection of Writers for Italian Press. Irlterary Digest. " Mr. George S. Lorand publishes In the Parts Aurore a. remarkable bill, called the "Journalists Contract Law," which Is now pending - before the Italian parlia ment The salient points of this bill are as follows: The duration of a contract between a journalist and the proprietor of a paper cannot be less than two years for a chief editor and one year for an ordinary writer. A Journalist taken on trial becomes a full fledged Journalist at the end of two months If not discharged. In case the paper is sold, if -the owner changes his political opinions, or if there Is a consolidation with another paper, the Journalist Is en titled to an Indemnity should the chance affect the stability of his position or force him to do some work not in accordance with his political opinions. This Indemnity is equal to the amount of salary he would receive to the end of his engagement Any arrangement contrary to the bill is void. In case a bankruptcy of the paper the editors have a privileged lien on the furniture, the machinery and the mate rial. In cases of litigation between jour nalists and owners of publications an ar bitration tribunal will decide. This tri bunal will be composed of two Journal ists and two owners, selected out of a list of three of each presented by the liti gants. There will be n6 appeal from the decision. A fee of 4 per 1000 of the amount involved will be paid to the treasury of the. "Provident Association of Journalists." Italian as well as French papers consider the bill aa a hugh Joke. La Fronde, how ever, thinks that "Journalists should be In dependent if we want an honest press; many of them are miserable proletarians who are willing to write anything for fear of losing their positions; no one can deny that such state of affairs is akin to slav ery." ANCHOR CHAINS. Welsh, Fifty Tons and Will Halt ' 600,000 Pounds. Scientific American. What are claimed to be the largest chains ever made In this country for se curing a ship's anchor have been manu factured at the Lebanon Chain Works, Lebanon, Pa., for the steamships being constructed at the plants of the Great Northern Steamship Company. They were made In four sections or "shots," each comprising 90 feet, so that tho total length of the combined chains is nearly 4.000 feet Two will be supplied each ship, one for the starboard and one for the port anchor, but for convenience in handling and construction each chain Is subdivided Into shots of 90 or ISO feet joined by swivel shackles. A portion of tho completed chain was tested by apparatus installed at the Leb anon works, which is said to be the largest chain-testing machine in this country, having a capacity ot 600,000 pounds. At a strain of 500,000 pounds the jaw of the holding shackle of the ma chine was broken, but none of the links was affected. At, the second test the breaking strain was placed at 540,000 pounds, when the Jaw of the machine feeding the oil to the tester was frac tured. The chain Itself, however, was unafTected. These figures are 55,000 pounds above Lloyd's requirements for such anchor chains. A further.' Illustration of the great size of the chains can. be given when It Is stated that each link, averages not less than 153 pounds weight, an average of about 100 pounds to the running foot making the total weight of each anchor section nearly CO tons. The chains, of course, will be handled in connection with their respective anchors by steam power, either communicated to large winches or to special stationary engines. "MISSISSIPPI BUBBLE."

General Hale recommended that the limit of membership be extend ed to those serving In the Army in the Philippines up to July 4. 1903, the date o the proclamation of amnesty, and con tinued: "At present and perhaps for come time to come, there are two special reasons for maintaining such an organization, loyal nonpartisan sropport of the United States Government la its earnest and con- General Irving: Hale. ecientlous efforts to earrv out th r.

Portland In Field for Typographical v Union Convention in 1003. CINCINNATI. O.. Aug! 13. The conven tion of the International Typographical Union made many changes in. its laws to day. After providing yesterday for the oldest substitute getting the first vacancy, it toaay restricted the hours per week to a maximum of 51. put evening papers with Sunday editions on tho seven-day basis and made many minor changos. An effort to include superintendents as well as foremen in the membership was made. It . developed that there will be strong opposition among the delegates to Indors ing the newly organized International Ladles Auxiliary, although there Is no opposition to local ladles' auxiliaries. The convention became very animated over an "alleged factional fight" that was pre cipitated by the Indianapolis Union, and showed its conservatism in defeating n proposition to prohibit any member from belonging to tho militia. Consideration was continued of the elaborate report of tho committee on laws. The committee recommended that all unions put forth every effort to abol ish the Interchange of matter previously used in type matrices, and that the con' ventlon chansc It so as to read: "The practice is unlawful and shall not be per mitted." The proposition was recommit ted after a long discussion, with Instruc tions for the laws committee to construct such a law ,as would prevent the ex change of local matter, but not to Inter fere with -the syndicate matrices. The San Francisco machine-tenders asked for an international machinist vice president nnd allotments on the commit tees. Rejected. All attempts to change from the refer endum system In the election of officers were defeated. The proposition of West of Louisville, to substitute piecework In dally newspa per offices In place of timework. and time work In place of piecework in Job offices caused a long discussion, and was finally defeated. Tho question of limited membership camo up In a proposition defining the "rights of machine men other than, print ers, by debarring them from the opera tion of machines. The action of the Bir mingham convention extending equal rights to all .allied crafts was sustained, and the new proposition was lost Consideration of proposed changes In the laws of tho union were considered all afternoon and until late tonight Amend ments were adopted against working for less than the scale of the union, against men recommended by supply agents or others, and against granting labels to unions where the scale falls below $10 per week. Several changes were made In laws regulating labels as to firms violat ing any union laws. Various amend ments also were made regarding member ship cards and dues. Minor changes were made In the laws limiting the hours per week and the classification of papers. There was an exciting discussion over an amendment providing that no person is entitled to membership In a typo graphical union who is a member of any state militia. The sentiment was gener ally expressed against union men belong ing tothe militia, but many of those holding theso views did not want the Typographical Union to go on record against any part of the Government or against any lpdMdual rights. The amendment was defeated by a viva voce vote, which indicates a. large majority against the proposition. Nominations for the place of holding the convention next year were made by Breltensteln for Ashevillo, N. C; Ryan for Newark. N. J.; Blakeloy -for Rich mond. Va.; Bynum for Washington. D. C, and Daveler for Salt Lake City. Tha contest seems to ba between Washington unu iitnurjt. at is conceaea mat me con vention In ISM will be held at St Louis. Nashville, Tenn., and Portland, Or., gavo notice that they would ask for the con vention In 1305. The visiting ladles .effected a perman ent organization of the Women's Inter national Auxiliary today. A constitu tion was adopted! It embodied close- re lations with the I. T. U., with the mem bership limited to relatives in tho typo graphical unions. The convention of tho International Stereo typcra apd Electrotypers Unions today adopted an agreement to bs pre sented to the United Typothetae. Among other matters under consideration was the adoption of a trade-mark and mat ters relating to them and wages. Thu stereotypers and electrotypers spent tho afternoon with the typographical con vention, in which they had been accorded scats. Musical Hall, with a capacity of over 5000, was packed tonight at the celebra tion of the golden Jubilee of the Interna tional Typographical Union, which per fected Its international organization in this city In 1S52. The exercises began early with an elaborate musical pro gremme. Among the spenkers were Gov ernor White, of We3t Virginia; Presi dent James M. Lynch and Delegate Dav eler, of Salt Lako City. ELKS ON PARADE. Baltimore Chosen for the Next Place of Meeting:. SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 13. The Grand Lodge of Elks today selected Bal timore as the place of meeting for the annual reunion of the Grand Lodge in 1903, and practically completed Its busi ness with the exception of the Installa tion of the new grand officers. This will take place tomorrow. But two cities were in the Hold for the honor of entertaining the Elks next year, Baltimore and Sara toga Springs, and some very lively can vassing was done In behalf of both cities. It was evident before half of the roll bad been called for the first vote, however, that Baltimore would win overwhelming ly, and Saratoga Springs was accordingly withdrawn. Tho spectacular feature of today's pro gramme was the parade of the uniformed bodies of Elks, in which over 3000 of the fraternity, representing several score of lodges, tpok part Prizes amounting to $1750 had been, offered for the marching clubs, and many beautiful and unique uniforms wero displayed by the lodges participating. To the Park City Elks, of Park City, Utah, was given the first prize for the most unique display. Each mem ber was arrayed as a miner, and each had with him a burro, laden with all tho sup plies necessary to a prospector or . miner. Tho "Cotton-Pickers." of Greenville, Miss., with black faces and garbed In the outlandish rags of a Southern plantation negro, cakewalklng and dancing, and fol lowing & float laden with cotton bales, were awarded second prize, while a small hut select body from Joliet, IIU in the penitentiary stripes, keeping tho prison lockstep, wero given the third prize. For the best display, prizes were award ed as follows: Montana, first; Quien Sabo? Lodge, of El Paso, Tex., second; and Omaha, Neb., third. The Seattle Lodge received tho prize for the best float a model of the battle ship Seattle, fully manned. Helena was given the honors for the handsomest banner, and the Third Regiment band, of San Francisco, took the prize for the best marching band. A number of the members of "Buffalo Bill's" Wild West Show, and Colonel Cody himself, who are Elks, took part In the parado, adding one more plcturesquo fea ture to a remarkable parade. With the Installation of the new Grand Lodgo officers tomorrow and the transac tion of some routine business the Grand Lodge will conclude its session and the exodus for homo will begin. Several hun dred Elks will visit California, however, before turning their steps Eastward. It !& not believed that any changes in the rit ual will be made, and tho new funeral service recently submitted for adoption will, it is expected, go over until next year. At a late hour tonight the judges In tho band contest decided that Denver and Montana had tied for first place, and these bands will play at Saltalr tomor row afternoon, when one of them will be given first prize. Tho Third Artillery Band, of San Francisco, was awarded third prize. Wall Paper Combination. NEW YORK, Aug. 13. The wall-paper manufacturers' and dealers are holding their annual meeting here. The especial object is the concluding of contracts for the coming year's business. The meeting will continue for some time and before Its conclusion the subject of forming a new combination of the trade will be discussed. One of the manufacturers present said: "The buslncra during the past year has been . bad for everybody. The sales have been large, but the profits small. This condition is due to the cutting of prices among the various manufacturers. Since the spllt-up of the wall-paper trust the competition has been too sharp. As a re sult there have been numerous failures, some of which are recent The prices for the year to come will be Increased about one-half of 1 per cent, because of the corresponding Increase In the price of raw materials. There has been some talk of the formation of a new combination or agreement among manufacturers, and many Beem to favor-it' Oil Train Wrecked. PITTSBURG. Pa.. Aug. 13.

Over night the Navy Department received word that the Cincinnati bad sailed yesterday from Puerto Cabcllo for Barcelona, under In structions cabled yesterday to Command er 2IcLean directing, either the Cincin nati or Topeka to proceed Immediately to 'that point McLean, who is the senior officer present, evidently decided to go himself and leave the Topeka to protect American. Interests at Puerto Cabollo. It Is probable that the 'Cincinnati al ready has arrived at Barcelona, but that fact may not be known officially here for several days, as Minister Bowen cabled the State Department from Caracas today that the cable, from Caracas to Barcelona again had been cut by the revolutionists. On Monday he reported that, this cablo had been cut but presumably It had been repaired In the Interim, and his last dis patch indicated that the connection bad again been lost Neither the stats nor, the Navy Depart ment has received confirmation of the press dispatches from Port o Spain, which were conveyed there from Barce lona by boat, of the extent of the fighting at Barcelona and of the report that the American, Italian and Dutch Consulates had been pillaged. The officials of the Navy Department are confident that Com mander McLean, with the Cincinnati, will he able to take cars of American Interests there. Owjng to the general disturbed condition of affairs all along the line of the Vene zuelan Coast and the appeals of Minister Bowen for warships, the question wheth er our naval force In those waters la suf ficient to take care of the existing situa tion and to meet future contingencies has been canvassed. For the present it has been decided that it Is unnecessary to send an additional vessel. "We now have three ships at the three critical points the Cin cinnati at Barcelona, the Topeka at Puer to Cabello, where the Germans already ha.vo landed a force, and the Marietta at the mouth of tho Orinoco, which was-declared- blockaded by the Castro govern ment Germans Advise Intervention. BERLIN, Aug. 13. Tho newspapers here display news from Venezuela prominently and print everything available from New York on the probable landing of marines by tha United States or Germany or both. Unusual interest Is taken in current events In South America, especially in the com ments of American newspapers, respecting the possible necessity of Intervention. The Lokal Anzelger refers to the .great inter est of foreigners In the preservation of order, and thinks the landing of Ameri can and German marines altogether Justi fied, considering the half-clvillsed" people. The Tageblatt says that anarchy in Ven ezuela calls for intervention, especially on the part of the United States, The Foreign Office repeated today to local Journalistic Inquirers the statement made to tho Associated Press yesterday that nothing Is known there of the re ported landing of German marines.

Salt Rheum You may call it eczema, tetter or mill? crust. But no matter what yon call it. this skin disease which comes n patches that burn, Itch, discharge a watery matter, dry and scale, owes its existence to the presence of humors in the system. It will continue to exist, annoy, and per haps agonize, as long as these humors remain. .
