John F, Caples Describes His
Consular Experiences.
ADDRESS AT G. A. R. REUNION,
Great Crowd Assembles at Pleasant
Home-Speaker Tells Hott United
States Is Respected in
South America.
Yesterday was a red-letter day at the
G. A. R. encampment at Pleasant Home,
end the feature of the day was the; fine
lecture in the afternoon by Hon. John F.
Caples, of Portland. In the forenoon
pleasing flag-raising exercises were held
under the auspices of the M. A. Ross
Woman's Relief Corps. Mrs. E. B. MU
iler, former department president of the
'Woman's Relief Corps of the state, made
Kan excellent address extolling the flag
and what it represents to the Nation.
After singing "The Star-Spangled Banner"
ton adjournment was taken for lunch.
Meanwhile about 75 wagons and buggies
tarrived with families. Mr. Caples came
iat 11:30, and was heartily greeted by the
reception committee of the M. A. Ross
(Post, headed by Commander Kane, Giles
Stephens. Robert Pool, M. Boll and others.
Judgre Caples Address.
At lo'clock in the afternoon the large
icrowd Assembled at the speaker's stand.
(On the platform were M. L.. Pratt, de
partment commander of Oregon; Judge
John E. Mayo, assistant adjutant; Com
mander Kane and Hon. John F. Caples,
the speaker of the day. Mr. Kane intro
duced Mr. Caples with short remarks.
The speaker received a most enthusiastic
welcome as he began his lecture. Ho
epoke for nearly two hours on "Four
Tears of Personal Observations in South
"America," gathered while he was United
States Consul at "Valparaiso. He first paid
a glowing tribute to the Grand Army of
the Republic, and complimented the local
post and relief corps on their enterprise
in conducting so successful an encamp
ment. He gave a comprehensive review of
his trip to South America, and told of
the old towns and cities he visited during
his stay on that continent. In speaking
cf the conditions in those countries Mr.
Caples said that for the past 35 years
he had been saying the' "United States "was
the best country on the globe. At that
klme he was not sure he was telling the
truth, but since his experience in South
America he was convinced he was right.
(He declared that the American worklng
jman is the most independent and favored
toiler on the face of the earth. Con
tinuing he paid:
"Theoretically, the official duties of a
'Consul sre almost exclusively of a busi
ness character. If the Consulate, how
ever, la at a large port, and the Minister
resides elsewhere, the duties of the Con
sul must necessarily include functions of
a social nature as well. In all business
ffalrs in which either our own Govern
ment or a citizen thereof is interested the
Consul acts as a magistrate and notary,
and while carefully and firmly protecting
the interests of all American citizens, he
,1s expected to be extremely cautious to
avoid giving offense to citizens of a dlf
iferent nationality, and particularly to the
people of the country in which he is lo
cated. Primarily, his mission is to pro
mote trade between our own and the
country to which ho is assigned, and so
far as possible to cultivate friendly inter
national trade relations.
"The official correspondence of a Consul
ate is almost exclusively with the State
Department at Washington. On my way
in 1897 to the Consular District of Valpa
raiso, Chile, to which I had been ap
pointed. I had at "Washington a most in
teresting conversation with the Hon. John
Sherman, then Secretary of State, in
which I was given to understand that the
feelings of the Chilean people were rather
unfriendly to our Government, owing to
difficulties growing out of what is known
as the Baltimore incident, and some other
offairs, and he suggested that the State
Department would expect me to use all
honorable means in my power to conclll
-ate the people and to regain our trade
-with them. It is a matter of congratula
tion that by the time I sent forward my
Resignation as Consul our trade with Chile.
2iad more than doubled and was continual
ly increasing, and hat our relations were
of a friendly character.
"In passing it may be of Interest to
Tknow that practically every foot of first
class building timber and lumber used
Srom Panama to Cape Horn is what is
lenown as Oregon pine, and the demand
or this valuable timber, not only in our
.own, but In foreign countries, must con
tlnue to increase until the supply is ex
giausted.
Know little of United States.
"An American Is surprised at the dense
rignorance evinced by the ordinary citl-
fxen of a foreign , country concerning the
textent, resources and power of the United
.States. In the recent war between Chile
tupon the one hand and Peru and Bolivia
ton the other the Chileans had gained a
Signal triumph, and, as other mistaken
Lpeople have really believed, ona Chilean
pilgrimage to gaze awe-stricken upon
these monsters of the deep and to de
part In wonder as .to the greatness of a
Nation capable of producing such floating
engines of destruction.
Yes, my good friends, I congratulate
you upon having helped to sustain the ban
ner of the grandest country upon the sur
face of this earth. This Is no Fourth of
July cannonade, but an absolute fact.
which can be demonstrated as clearly a
can any problem of mathematics. I havt
believed this for many years, and, be
lieving It so stated that after four years
of careful Investigation, in which it be
came my official duy to study and com
pare the resources of our own with that
of other countries, I know that no country
on this earth can favorably compare with
our own.
Destiny of United States.
"Within the past few years, and par
ticularly since our war with Spain, peo
ple from every other land have been
flocking to us and are becoming Ameri
canized as soon as they reach our shores.
believe I can now understand what
those great men, Abraham Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglas, meant when they
talked of the 'manifest destiny of our
country.' I have full confidence In the
spread and success of our American insti
tutions. It win not be in our genera
tion, probably not for many generations
to come, but if the people of this land
aro true to themselves and to the genius
of our free institutions, as I believe they
will be, the time will come when the star-
spangled banner will wave in triumph over
every foot of the entire western Heznl
sphere."
Following the lecture came a short ad
dress by Mrs. E. S. Miller, past depart
ment commander. Then the audience sang
"Columbia" while standing. Iast night
an Interesting programme was held under
the auspices of the relief corps. Judge
Caples, M. L. Pratt, Judge Mayo, Dr.
"W. H, Baylor and other Portlanders were
on the grounds yesterday. Today the re
union will close, and the addresses will
be given by M. L. Pratt and General H.
B. Compson.
FIGHT ON HENDERSON.
Enemies Chargre Him "With. Defeat-
Ins; London Doclc Charge Bill.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 14. The London dock charges
bill appears to be an issue in Iowa, Some
enemies of Speaker Henderson have been
endeavoring to get Jthe Miller's Associa
tion Interested in his defeat because Hen
derson did not allow the bill to go
through. The Speaker denies it very em
phatically, saying that the friends of the
bill could have got it through if they
wanted to, but they were endeavoring to
secure a compromise. Very few people
will understand the London dock charges
bill, and nobody would care very much
about it. perhaps, were it not made an
issue in the district represented by
Speaker Henderson. The Houee got the
bill up and got It to a parliamentary Mage
where it became wedged and little or
nothing could be done with it. Then the
Senate passed the bill and the friends of
the measure wanted to reach a compro
mise by which the Senate bill could be
taken up in place of the House bllLThls
was never brought about and nothing was
ever done.
The London dock charges bill is a meas
ure which compels steamship companies
doing business in the United States -so
make an actual quotation of freight rates
including all dock charges at London, so
that the shipper will know exactly what
he will have to pay. A peculiar feature
of shipping at the present time is that
all bills of lading contain a provision that
the London dock charges are to be added
to the freight. 'Ihe shipping companies
say they never can tell what the London
dock charges will be, as this port Is- dif
ferent from almo&t any other port in the
world in leaving the charges to be fixed
according to varying conditions. The
steamship companies say it would be very
unjust to compel them to fix a rate wnen
they cannot tell what the rate will be.
The bill is Intended to compel th port of
London to reform its present method of
dock charges. Ambassador Choate under
took to work it out, but found that It was
one of the Inalienable rights coming down
from ages that the English Government
has no power to compel London to reform
its methods. ;
It is not probable that anything con
nected with the measure will affect
Speaker Henderson's chances, as every
member of Congress that was interested
In the bill will come to the front gallant-
lv. and say that the Speaker was In no
way to blame for tire bill not getting con
sideratlon. f
TO MOVE TRINITY CHURCH
VESTRY CONTEMPLATES ..NEW SITE
FOR OLD STRUCTURE.
Likely , to. Be Taken to Eighteenth
and "Washington-. Streets A
Large Undertaking;.
The "vestry of Trinity Episcopal Church
is contemplating the. removal of the
building from its present location at Sixth
and Oak 'streets to the recently acquired
property at Eighteenth and Washington
streets. 'To conform with the width of the
streets, the building would have to be
sawn Into three parts, and the cost of
removal would be between 54000 and $5000.
Andrew Allen, one of the few contractors
in Portland, capable of handling such
work, has been engaged to make estimates
on the cost and feasibility of such a step.

FOR "SIGNS OF LIGHT.
Health. Committee Has a Discission
. . About Them.
The committee on health and police of
the City Council yesterday discussed sev
eral important matters. Chairman Sigler
and Messrs. Albee and Cardwell were pres
ent, and Councilman Rumelln was present
as an interested spectator.
The street sign question was the basis
of a discussion by the committee Stude-

'than 10,000 soldiers could be landed on the
'wharves of San Francisco and could suc
cessfully march from there to the City
of New York. I labored to impress upon
rthem the fact that the presence of their
flO.000 soldiers in San Francisco would
scarcely be observable; that in. case they
should land there they would be treated
unost kindly, unless they should cut uo
'some rustles, in which case the city au
"thorlties would simply dispatch a detach
jment of police and put them all In jail

Pbe taken out and fined for being disorderly

"Our Nation had been so long at peace
I that not only the peoples of South Amer
ica, out many oiner, nauons or mc eartn,
believed that the Americans could not and
would not fight; that we were a Nation
of traders and hod abandoned the arts of
war. Indeed, when war had been de
clared between the United States and
Spain many of the people of other coun
tries really beliex'ed that, while our Na
tion, with its greater wealth and re
sources, would eventually prevail, yet" In
the first naval battle our forces would be
sadly defeated, but when grand old Ad
miral Dewey, one fine morning, quietly
steamed into the Harbor of Manila, and
every time an American behind the gun
, glinted his eye along the polished barrel
of an American cannon, down went a
Spanish craft like McGInty to the bot
tom of the sea. and when the American
battalions, led by the Intrepid Roosevelt,
drove the Spanish forces from San Juan
Hill like leaves before an Autumn wind,
and when the American men-of-war swept
Cervera's fleet from the surface of the
waters, then the Spanish-speaking peo
ples, as well as other nations of the
earth, were convinced that not only were
the Americans trading Yankees, but fight
ing devils, to whom it would be well to
give a remarkably wide berth. And when
the great American war vessels the Ore
gon and the Iowa dropped their respective
anchors in the Harbor of Valparaiso and
the booming guns of the Chilean forts
thundered their welcome, the ships of
every nation represented in that great port
dipped low their colors in respect to the
American flag. For many days the sons
and daughters of the south, from the
cloud-capped Andes and teeming valleys
of the west coast, and from the islands
of" the sea, in great multitudes, made a

said last night that the probable route
would be along Sixth and thence up Couch
street. The grade on Couch street is easy,
and though there is a number of over
hanging trees, this appears to be the best
route.
Probably $10,000 would'be expended for a
new foundation and to repair the dam
age done by the fire last Spring, which
amounted to nearly $S000. The parish
house would also be removed, thus add
ing to the expense. One of the largest
items would be the cutting of the wires.
Colonel J, McCraken. one. of the vestry
men, said yesterday that "no definite ac
tion had been taken by the vestry,
but that if moved the church
building would only be used temporarily,
as the people cannot relinquish the hope
of a new stone church. Other members
of the vestry said substantially the same
thing.
Fred T. Merrill made an offer of $50,000
cash for the half block at Sixth and Oak
streets, as he wishes to establish a family
theater in the building: This will prob
ably be refused, as the members of the
church have religious scruples against the
edifice! being used for .such, secular pur
poses, and as they consicer io,wj to oet

Two other parties have attempted to ob

Sons of Nobte Slrea. " ,
LA CAMAS, Wash.. Aug.. 12. (To the
Editor.) In a recent editorial on heredity
The Oregonlari stated that "no great) man
In America has had a great son save John
Adams." While this Is true' to "gome ex
tent, it Is interesting -to note that In a
broader sense It Is open to modification.
The great man is not always the most
famous. Tom Corwln was one of the
ablest men of his time, yet our people
are more familiar with the life of Millard
Fillmore. The brilliant Henry Winter
Davis left a deenflr and nobler impress
on the men of hlsday than did Andrew
Johnson. John F. Andrew, son of the
great War Governor, and William Everett,
son of Edward Everett, were leaders in
Congress, but their party was not strong
enough to keep them there. The son of
Governor Dick Yates has made a splendid
record on the bench and in the executive
chair, while General Wadsworth, the son
of that coldler-statcsmun. General James
S. Wadsworth, Is one of New York's best
Congressmen. Adjutant - General Wlri
throp, son of "ex-Speaker Robert U.
WInthrop, was the ablest military. ,law
writer of the Army. General Wager
Swayne Is the son of Judge Noah Swayhe;
Henry St. George Tucker Is the son of
J. itandolph Tucker; Joseph H. Choate 6
the nephew of Rufus Choate. The father of
Senator Hoar was an eminent Jurist df
Massachusetts, and his grandfather wa
Roger Sherman, the signer. Sherman
Hoar had won a bright name In Congress
3nd literature when his. brief career was
cut short by death. Judge Taft Is thp
.on of Attorney-General . Taft, and thb
father of Justice Peckham was' a Justice
of the Supreme Court of New York. This
son of Jeremiah Black Is a leading lawyer
of Pennsylvania; General Wade is the
son of "Bluff" Ben Wade, and General
Thomas Crittenden, ex-Governor of Mis
souri, is the son of John J. Crittenden.
Paul Dana and W. C. Bryant uphold the
-epuratlon of-thelr sires. In the editorial
field, while our new Supreme Court Justice
adds new luster to the name of Oliver
Wendell Hqlmcs. i .
One of the brainiest men to sacrifice a
promising Congressional career on account
of his political convictions was General
Thomas- Ewlng, son of the prominent Ohio
statesman. General Ewlng was too great
a man to win political greatness at the
expense of his manhood. Another grand
man of today is General Charles King.
His father was General Rufiis King, and
bis grandfather was a famous Revolu
tionary statesman. General King Is much
greater as a man than as a writer. His
soldiers could hot always see the star
upon his. shoulder," but they always beheld
the brightly beaming star within his heart,
and will carry the impress of his noble
character throughout life. He Is one of
Nature's noblemen. In every way worthy
of his Illustrious ancestry.

WEATHER CONDITIONS.
Ugh t showers nave occurred In Washington.
The questlcn of coffee disease or Pos
tum health becomes of the greatest im
portance when we are thrown on our own
resources. Many a woman when suddenly
left without means of support can make
a comfortable living if health remains.
A brave, little woman out in Barnes.
Kansas, says: "I feel that I owe you a
letter for the good Postum Coffee has
done me. For years I was a great suf
ferer with nervousness without ever sus
pecting the cause. Two years ago I came
down with nervous prostration. My work
was light, but I .could not do It. I cculd
not even sew or read.
"My sleep was broken and unrefresh
ing; I suffered intensely, and it seemed
only a matter of time till I must lose
my reason.
"My mental distress was as great as
my physical, when one day a friend
brought me a trial of Postum Coffee and
urged me to use it Instead of coffee for a
few days, saying that Postum had cured
her of liver trouble and sick headache. I
replied that I thought I could not give
up coffee; I had always used It as a stim
ulant. However, the Postum Food Coffee
proved to be pleasing to the taste, and I
used It. and was surprised to see that I
was resting and getting better,
"My husband bought several packages
and Insisted on me using it altogether.
Gradually, but not the less surely. I fully
recovered. I never used coffee after
ward, and when I was left a widow a
year later I was able to open a dress
making shop and support myself and lit
tle girls." Name given by Postum Co.,
