leading in the. race for the seat of Mc

the Cuban reciprocity bill, and" voted for
the bill as amended. He was paired
against the irrigation bill. No roll-call

AXEXT TARIFF REVISION.
Comment of the Hartford Conrant on
the Idnho Plank.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,. Wash
ington, Aug. 27. The Hartford Courant,
In a belated editorial on the Idaho Re
publican tariff declaration, says:
It Is a surprise though we not know that
It should he to find the Idaho Republicans
occuylng a more advanced position on the
tariff than the Iowa Republicans. They ara
protectionists, of course, being: Republicans;
but they are not petrified protectionists.
After quoting their declaration for re
vision, '"without unreasonable delay," the
Courant adds:
We don't know what the Idaho Republicans
would consider unreasonable delay. We don't
believe they want a revision of the DIgley
tariff from end to end this coming Winter.
Certainly the party at large does not want it,
nor does the country. The right way Is to
proceed prudently 'and conservatively, with no
unnecessary disturbance to business, to make
the Jew plainly needed and wise changes that
will deprive the enemies of the protective tariff
of their most effective ammunition, and then
to rest for a time, as long a time as sound
judgment, based on an Intelligent study of
things as thoy, are, may Indicate the goal to
be kept In eight. William McKinley indicated
It before his death. In that last and great
speech of his, the Buffalo speech on reci
procity, he bade us be taking thought and
making ready to use the no longer needed
protective duties In our tariff as keys with
which to unlock for American products the
markets beyond the seas.

Teller of a Pittsburg: Bank in Jail
for Embezzlement.
PITTSBURG. Aug. 27. H. H. Brlnker.
formerly receiving teller of th n
National Bank, is in Jail, -charged with
emDezziement. The amount of the short
age charged to him is 520,600. which, it Is
alleged, the bank was defrauded of by
Brinker manipulating the deposit slips.
Cashier Ramsey, of the bank, says the
incident Is closed so far as the bank is
concerned, as the Mercantile Trust Com
pany, which was on Brlnker's bond for
$15,000, settled In full in July last, since
which time Brlnker has been trying to
pay the trust company. As the payments
on the bond since then have been compar
atively small, the company decided to
pJaco Brlnker In prison as a defaulter.
Speculation In stocks caused the teller's

The Wake Island Incident.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Thc statement
that the United States Is about to dis
patch a warship to Wake Island for the
purpose of ejecting the Japanese Is er
roneous. Some time ago an American
6hlp, which touched at Wake Ielnnd, re
ported that a number of Japanese jctre
living on the Island, and this led to moro
or less confused reports concerning on
alleged claim supposed to have been set
up by Japanese to sovereignty over the
island. Several conferences1 between
State Department officials here and Mr.
Takahlra, the Japanese Mlnioter, fol
lowed and were concluded by a definite
admission on the part of the Japanese
Minister that his government made no
claim to sovereignty over the Island.
Later, the Navy Department ordered the
commander of the training ship Adams,
which will leave about September 2, for
her cruise of the Pacific, to touch at
Wake Island and report upon conditions
there. There is not even a suggestion In
those orders looking to the ejectment of
such Japanese as may be found on th9
island. American sovereignty over the
island Is not questioned by Japan.
Beef Trust Inquiry.
ST. JOSEPH. Mo., Aug. 27. The beet
trust inquiry, begun yesterday, was con
tinued today. The Interest was much
greater and the attendance larser. The
cross-examination of John "Vuua. a local
butcher, who had testified to the exist
ence of a combination among the pack
ers, brought out very little of importance.
He admitted that the retail butchers had
agreed upon a scale of prices, but said
that this was rendered necessary by the
packers' trust. He also admitted that
the packers had made "concessions" in
the matter of over-ripe meat which he
had sold at the regular scale as first
class meat.

LAWYERS TALK OF TRUSTS.
President Rose's Address to Amer
ican Bar Association,
SARATOGA. N. Y., Aug. 27. The Amer
ican Bar Association began its 25th an
nual meeting here today with a large at
tendance of delegates. President U. M.
Rose, of Little Rock. Ark., delivered an
address. He spoke feelingly of the death
of President McKlnley. and said that the
execution of the assassin failed to satisfy
the Just demands of the violated law. He
deplored the fact that anarchistic lltor
ature Is disseminated freely through tho
mails, and that public meetings whore
"speeches of the most incendiary charac
ter are made by refugees from foreign
lands" are permitted to be held.
President Rose poke at length on
trusts, saying In part:
"Our country during the last 30 years
has witnessed a change of such magni
tude as to be without a single parallel In
history. By means of vast aggregations
of money, corporate monopolies have been
established in almost every branch of in
dustry. What effect theso tremendous
creations will have on our future destiny
morally, roclally, financially, legally, no
one ventures to predict with any degree of
confidence If it is trueas said by Oliver
Cromwell, that "no one goes so far as the
man that does not Tcnbw "where he Is go
ing, we are apparently entering upon a
long Journey.
"The Supreme Court of the United
States antf'several of our Presidents have
more than once called attention to the
gravity or the" situation, and we cannot
suppose that mem occupying such posi
tions of responsibility -would only excite
public apprehension. President Roosevelt
has said more than once that the power
of corporations over prices should be subr
Jected to public control. Very rccVttly he
said: We may need, and. In my belief,
we do' need, new legislation, enacted In no
radical or .revolutionary spirit, but In a
spirit of common sense, common "honesty
and a resolute desire to face facts as they
are.' This language Is clear, and will
meet with general approval. The prin
cipal difficulty pertains to the remedy.
President Roosevelt said that the remedy
sometimes proposed with seeming confi
dence was that of publicity, but he de
clared that public! ty would only serve' to
prolong the present situation.
"Another remedy suggested," he said,
"Is an amendment to' the Federal Consti
tution giving power to Congress to control
all corporations, a very drastic remedyj
indeed, one that would greatly strengthen
the lobby, one that might introduce an
era of political corruption hitherto un
known." President Rose said that tho Sherman
anti-trust law fails to 'meet all the diffi
culties of the situation, adding:
"Whether this act exhausted the powers
of Congress over the subject-matter is a
question about which thero may be a dif
ference of opinion."
At the conclusion of Judge Rose's ad
dress, routine business and the reading of
reports were taken up. v

necessary vrlll be raised.
Colonel John J. Martin, of St. Louis,
extended to the Congress the courtesies
of the World's Fair Temple of Fraternity
for the annual meeting of the congress In
1001. Resolutions cordially commending
the plan for a Temple of Fraternity were
adopted.
The application of the Junior Order
United American Mechanics for admission
to the congress was refused on the ground
that tho order had failed to present re

Detroit, Mich.
At the session this afternoon prolonged
dlscurslon occurred over the question of a
universal mortality table The congress
of last year adopted a table which was
to be put In force before ISO! by all the In
surance organizations connected with tho
congres. Today the committee on sta
tistics and good of the order presented a
majority report recommending repeal of
this action. A minority report, which did
not take In the question of repeal, but
recommended certain changes In the
table, was presented and supported by
Mrs. Francis Burns, of Michigan, and
others. D. P. Mnrkey. of Port Huron,
Mich., led the 'fight for the majority re
port, which was adopted, along with a
motion to refer the whole matter of a
morlullty table to a committee of seven.
Election of officers will occurv tomorrow,

LONDON' " TJME3' CHARACTERIZA
TION OF ROOSEVELT, i
Discusses His Decision to 'Appeal to
the People on the Trust Ques
tion Austria's Suspicions.
LONDON, Aug. 27, Tho Times this
morning publishes an editorial article dis
cussing President Roosevelt's decision to
appeal from party wirepullers to tho peo
ple on the trust question. The paper says:
"This is a bold decision if President
Roosevelt -la ambitious of a second term,
but he Is 3hrewd as well as courageous.
We cannot, however, venture to form a
judgment of bis chances of success against
the 3trong forces arrayed on the opposite
side. Tho American people themselves
have no very clear idea on this subject,
and their political prophets are all at sea,
In their speculations.
"It la Interesting to observe that in Aus
tria it is frankly assumed that Mr. Roosevelt's-
object Is to throw a protecting
shield over the""capjtal!sts and that his at
tacks on the trusts are retarded with- sus
picion by American protectionists.
"The result of the struggle between
a craving for protection and impatience of
monopoly will soon te visible In the United
States, and Mr. Roosevelt apparently will
have credit for having raised a great Issue
with conspicuous fearlessness."
A German View.
BERLIN. Aug. 27. President Roosevelt's
advocacy of Government supervision of
txusts has caused the Post, of this city.
-to discuss a "new trust danger." It says
Germany, and, Indeed, all Europe, must be
on Its guard."
The Kreuz Zeltung, In a leader on
"American Imperialism," says:
"American arrogance is directed not only
against Germany, but against all Europe.
This arrogance Is the outgrowth of the
puritanical belief In the God-given mission
and Its own Invulnerable position."
