.Illinois Representative Does Jfot Be

the Voice of the People and
lie vise the Tariff.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. ZL Uncls Joo Cannon is of
the opinion that President Roosevelt has
demonstrated his position on the trusts
to the satisfaction of the country. "A
pound of action Is -worth more than a
ton of denunciation," said he, "and Presi
dent Roose'elt has given us more than
the pound. Ho has haled the Northern
Securities Company into court, and the
case Is now. ready for trial. The Demo
crats may denounce the trusts, but they
have done nothing to curb or regulate
them. A Republican. Congress passed the
Sherman anti-trust act, and a Republican
President Is trying to enforce It. He did
not Trait for complaint or prompting. As
soon as the Northern Pacific merger -was
effected, by which two great parallel lines
of railroad "were to be consolidated and
destroy competition. President Roosevelt
directed the Attorney to begin legal ac
tion. I fancy the Democrats will have
little ammunition for an anti-trust cam
paign by the time the court hears this
case, which Is set for the first week In
September."
Cannon Is against tariff revision, and In
this case does not agree with Cullom, the
Senator from his state. Cannon probably
voices the sentiment of the majority, of
the Republicans In Congress at least
stands with the men who control the
ways and means committee and the ac
tion of the House, and for that reason
what he says Is Important. "When asked
If he would promise his people that Con
gress would revise the tariff at the next
session, he said:
"Nay, nay. Why should I make such a
promise? There Is nothing sacred about
the present tariff schedules, but It Is al
ways demoralizing to business to have
Congress begin the work of revising the
tariff. The manufacturer wishes to see
what will be the result, working only -on
orders; the merchant buys only what he
feels certain he can sell, and the ordinary
consumer buys only what he needs.
Everybody will wait to see what the .re
sult will be, for nobody knows In advance
Just what schedules will be changed or
what the changes will be. It always
means at least a year of uncertainty, and I
don't believe the people of this country
want a year f uncertainty Just no'w to
check the prosperity we have.
"The tariff will be revised some time, but
not by the next session of Congress nor
the succeeding one, unless there Is a
check to the present prosperity. The peo
ple of Illinois, so far as I have been able
to learn, are not anxious for a revision of
,.the tariff. They are anxious to "continue
their business affairs without interruption
-cauacitf "by-'a Ttmfer discussion In Congress
as to what changes should be made. I
do not think It will be necessary to give
much attention to this question In the
present campaign."
OLYMPIAN GAMES.
franco Will Send Its Army Cadets
to Chicago in 1004.
CHICAGO. Aug. 21. The states of the
United States, President Roosevelt and
Government officials will co-operate and
participate In the production of the inter
national Olympian games of 1901. All for
eign countries will be represented. France
has promised to send Its army cadets, and
has asked for the games in 130S. The fol
lowing extract shows the attitude of the
National Executive toward the games:
"Gentlemen: I earnestly wish you suc
cess In your undertaking. While I regret
the United States cannot officially take
charge of or be responsible for the games,
I shall do all in my power to contribute to
their success, and it will give me pleasure
to open them and to send to them bodies
of United States troops and sailors to
take part in the contests, in which repre
sentatives of the armies and navies of
ail nutlons are expected to enter. I hopo
these exercises will include feats of horse
manship and marksmanship, as well as
tests of endurance and strength, under
service conditions.
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
Letters giving assurances of hearty co
operation were received from the chief
executives of 14 states, including Govern
ors Wells, of Utah; Orman, of Colorado;
Richards, of Wyoming, and Otero, of New
Mexico.
RHODES' SCHOLARSHIPS.
JT. P. Morgan Slay Establish a Similar
Fund.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2L Much interest
attaches to the arrival on the Oceanic of
G. R. Parkin, president of the College
of Upper Canada, Toronto, who has been
Intrusted with the details of organizing
a system for the selection of English
speaking young men who are to receive
the 200 scholarships of $1500 a year en
dowed by Cecil Rhodes. Mr. Parkin also
has suggested that it would be a good
plan for some wealthy American or group
of Americans to establish a fund for the
education of 100 young men of Great
Britain Tn the universities of the United
States. He had several conferences with
J. P. Morgan on the way over, and the
financier is said to be much interested
not only in the Cecil Rhodes scholar
ships, but in the plan which Mr. Parkin
proposes for reciprocating the offers made
under the will ot the South African
leader.
Mr. Parkin said that his object In
coming to this country was to visit seats
of learning and to talk with educators
and men of affairs. Under the provisions
of the will of Mr. Rhodes, each state and
territory In the United States Is to have
a scholarship. Mr. Parkin will arrange
for competitive examinations or some
such means for selecting those who are
to receive scholarships.
Dlstres in Cuba.
New York Mall and Express.
It is evident that the Cuban Congress
relies upon the industrial paralysis of the
island as an excuso for the passage of the
bonding bill, In the face of an estimated
deficit. When It is pointed out that the
creation of a national debt whose inter
est cannot be met and whose principal
cannot be charged out of the current
revenues, would be an open violation of
the "Piatt amendment," the answer Is a
petulant denial coupled with a plaintive
account .of the distress of the people.
It is not to be denied that the failure
of Congress to open the American market
to Cuban products Is largely responsible
for prevalent idleness that threatens star
vation, which may ultimately cause riots.
That fact makes the present situation all
the more delicate. But in Itself, that Con
dition .does not warrant the creation of
a debt In plain violation of the organic
law. It is to be observed, also, that It is
planned to raise additional revenue al
though fitill Insufficient by a heavy In
crease upon the necessities of life. That
Is a proposition to tax the poor man to
"pay a debt Incurred ostensibly for bis re
lief. It Is to bo noted a the .same time
that the proceeds of this -bond Issue are
not to be expended lor public works, or
any other economic development. . The
cash thus raised would be distributed
among the planters- and in payment of
tlwages due the "Army" of the revolution.
Meantime, reports of thousands of un
employed who are beginning to clamor
for bread and work dally Increase. These
reports are coming now, not only from
the seaport cities, such as Havana, Ma
tanzas, Santiago and Clenfuegos-, but from
the Interior, where plantations have sus
pended operations. It may not be long
before tales of outlawry begin to ac
company these accounts of distress. Un
der these circumstances, the Merchants
and Planters association has acted with
discretion in Tefralnlng from framing a
petition for annexation.
It would be Interesting to know what
progress Is making toward embodying In
a permanent treaty the provisions of the
"Piatt amendment" to the Cuban consti
tution. That Instrument provides speci
fically for euch a treaty. It is possible
that In its terms may be Included Gome

lief. STRONG FIGHT ON LACEY.
I o mm Ib h. Good Legislator, and
West Should Wish Him Well.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Aug. 20. A fight Is being made
upon Representative Lacey, of Iowa, and
quite a strong effort Is being put forth
to defeat him. Western people will not
care to see this Iowa man defeated. He
is chairman of the committee on public,
lands, and for the most part has been
very careful of Western Interests. He Is
a man who does not always agree with
Western Representatives, and opposes
some things which men ata ntrrlon to
put through for their localities. But upon
me -wnoie, itepresentauve Lacey Is a
man wno gives the most careful atten
tion to legislation, and is always thor
oughly equipped with facts upon any bill
that is reported from the House com
mittee. The people of Oregon have es
pecial reason to wish him well, as he
was one of the warm friends of the
Crater Lake Park proposition. He also
assisted Renresentntlv Mnnriv on ent
eral Indian land bills, being a prominent
"icmoer ot xne committee on Indian af-
xairs, as well as public lands.
Representative Lacey has one hobby
which ought to be encouraged, and for
mai reason it is to te Hoped he will be
returned to the House and continue as
chairman of the committee on public
lands. He believes in taking all of na-
tuie a wonaer spots ana making them Na
tional Parks. He not only favored the
Crater Lake National Park, but he also
Interested himself In the Mount Rainier
National Park. He has succeeded In pro
serving as a National Park the tract of
land which contains the famous petrified
forest In Arizona, and he Is also favoring
a bill making the great Wind Cave. In
South Dakota, a National Park. He
thinks that these wonderful spots should
be separated from tho. nnhiic
be placed under National care, so specu
lators cannot get them for exhibition
purposes, but that they shall be free to
all Inhabitants of the country.

.GERMAN DEFICIT.
Increased Expenditures and Shrink
age of Receipts.
BERLIN. Aug. 2L The final figures of
the Imperial treasury operations for tho
year which ended March 31, Just pub
lished, show a deficit from the budget
estimates of $12,125,000, due to a shrinkage
of the receipts amounting to about
6,750,000 and Increased expenditures to
talling about $5,250,000, of which army and
navy pensions footed up $3,687,500, while
the army had 5625,000 and the navy $500,000
extra. The Increased receipts from some
Items were swallowed up by a $7,500,003
falling off In the stamp taxes, nearly all
of which was from diminished bourse
transactions, traceable to the general
financial depression. This deficit will be
made out of the Winter's loan and the
shortage since March 31 will be covered
by short-term treasury bills, which will
be discounted by tho Relchsbank.
The treasury requirements will thus
be provided for until early In 1903, the
Intention being as recently communicated
to a New York financial house, to defer
the Issue of a loan till after the new
year. Germany 13 pledged by a para
graph of the great naval programme bill
to raise by loan during the 16-year period
of naval construction somewhat less than
half of the, $2i,000,000 necessary, including
the money for1 the construction of new
docks. It Is expected that the yearly
revenue will provide the remainder and
also for the increased expenditure growing
from the personnel and maintenance of
the fleet. As there must be a loan yearly,
there Is a desire on the part of the treas
ury to widen the basis of international
credit by Interesting New York In im
perial 3 per cents.
The treasury Is also looking around for
new sources of revenue, and will prob
ably increase the tobacco and beer taxes
next year. An imperial Income tax Is
also regarded os being among the possi
bilities. SHAH AT MAXI3I WORKS.
Afterward Visits' Westminster Abbey
and the Hippodrome.
LONDON. Aug. 2L The Shah, paid a
long visit to the Maxim works this
morning. Ho showed keen Interest in the
latest inventions In nrtillery and electrical
appliances. On the invitation of Sir Hiram
Maxim, the Persian monarch got astride
of the seat of a Maxim gun and flred three
belts of blank cartridges. His Majesty
was considerably snocked' by the recoil
at his first attempt, but he stuck to his
post and finished up like an experienced
gunner. The Shah and his suite posed
for moving pictures before leaving. He
subsequently proceeded to the Persian le
gation, where he gave a state luncheon
which cost $15,000, so sumptuous were the
decorations and arrangements.
The Shah visited Westminster Abbey
this afternoon. This evening, accompa
nied by Prince Arthur of Connaught, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, Lady Lansdowne
and otherr, attended by His Highness,
Atabek-Azem, the Grand Vizier and a
large suite, and escorted by a detachment
of the Life Guards, he was present at a
gala performance at the hippodrome. The
Shah everywhere received ovations, and
he greatly enjoyed the performance.

LONDON, Aug. 2L A dispatch to the

The Progressive party has elected Dr.
J. W. Smart to be their leader, repudiat

CAPE TOWN, Aug? 21. The' action of
tho Progressive ' party In electing Dr.

QUICK-LUNCH SLANG.
"Xonh on n Raft," "A Little on the
Cow," "Put Up the Flag."
When the great majority 'of the quick
lunchroom proprietors of New York
agreed last week to raise the price of
"beef an," also of "ham an," from 10 to
15 centa, and their momentous decision
was duly, it somewhat Jocularly, re
corded in the papers, the surprising fact
developed that there are actually to be
found men and women In this city who
do not know what "beef an " Is, says
the New York Tribune.
"Beef and what?" asked a down-town
business man, as he read his paper going
home on the L.
"Well, you don't know beans, for a
fact," his companion laughed.
"That's It. eh?" said the first. "But
how should I know whether It Is beans
or cabbage? I never go to that sort of a
place to cat."
And there are thousands more like this
man, who never went to "that sort bf a
place" to eat, or have carefully forgotten
that they ever had to. How "the other
hair eate Is unknown to them. They en
ter a cafe where the linen" Is liberal and
enowy, give their order confidentially to a
silent waiter, and by and by their food
comes to them under a cover. There Is
something private, even 4ntlmate, about
the whole process, however crowded tho

which "ham an' " is only a faint sugges
tion. If you are new to this style of a lunch
room, you enter, sit down at a bare and
not too clean table and wait quietly to be
served. You are likely to wait some time,
but while you wait you hear a bare-armed
waiter roar down a passage, "Sind up tho
goat." That's easy. You know he wants
mnrn VMttor Trinn i c irlpe "Tlnaf on'
and you know that. "Plate o' Bostons"
isn't hard, either. But "Make it two,
sunny side up," is a staggerer. However,
the solution Is simple two eggs fried on
one side only.
Finally you get tired of waiting, and by
pounding a glass with a spoon and sundry
gesticulations you get a waiter to come to
you. "Give me some poached eggs on
toast." von Sfiv. "nnrt n vit nf onff
The waiter turns toward the kitchen and
snouts. "JNoan on a raft!" Then he wheels
toward the steaming, polished coffee
tanks and cries, "Draw one!"
"Say," 'you call, with an afterthought,
"I guees I'll make that scrambled eggs
on toast."
"Wreck Noah," calls the waiter solemn
ly. The strange thing may well seem to
be that yo.u get what you ordered.
There aro many such phrases, some of
them common to all the "grub-on-the-run"
places, some of them local.
"A little on the cow" Is milk. "Draw
one black" Is coffee without milk. "One
up" is not golf, but a symbol meaning
that the' waiter who calls has another cup
of coffee coming to him. "Oft the grid
dle" means butter cakes those deadly
bullets, or, rather, small cannon balls of
dough which are commonly known to the
hardy eaters thereof as "sinkers," but
which It Is high treason to call by that
name within the lunchroom.
"Put up the flag" means macaroni. Just
why, no one seems able to explain, though
there is vaguely felt to be some subtle
reference to Yankee Doodle and the Stars
and Stripes. "Brown the wheats" means
simply on order of buckwheat pancakes,
while "two In three" signifies that some
body wants two eggs boiled three min
utes. "Red, white and blue" 13 a plate
ot mixed ice cream.
The crown of the collection, however, is
to be found .on the Bowery, where there
is much poety in tho block, anyway.
There If you should happen tp have tho
sort of a taste that demands mince pie
with powdered sugar on ihe top, you wljl
hear shouted to the rear: "One indiges

EDUCATORS' WORK INVAIN
National Bureau of Education Will
Hardly Be Created. j
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 20. It Is not probablo that
anything will result from the efforts of
the educationalists who resolved in favor
of a Department ot Education of the
National Government. The present bu
reau of education costs something like
560,000 a year. The bureau has a small
office near one of the departments here,
and Its work Is confined almost exclu
sively to collecting and RPnclInc ,.
pamphlets on the subject of educatlpn.
There Is no reason why a Department of
Education should be established, as the
Constitution of the United Stn
have to be greatly modified before such
a department would exercise any con
trol over any ot the educational Insti
tutions Of the COUntrv. The nrnhnhllltloe
are that the bureau of education was
established for the purpose of giving a
position to some politicians, or at the
