f J; THE OKEGOHIA1?, WEDNESDAY;. OCTOBER 22, 1902. PUBLIC WEAL FIRST Union Engineers MustTestify . When Called Upon. ' KNOX DECIDES STRIKE CASE Inspectors Are Authorized to Re voice the Licenses ' of All Unwilling; "Witnesses Point Same as Re cently Raised in Portland. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash inffton, Oct, 2L Attorney-General Knox today rendered a decision to the effect that when a licensed officer of a coast wise vessel, duly summoned to give tes timony before a local board of the steam boat Inspection service, refuses to answer questions which are material and proper, the board ha3 full authority to compel an answer under penalty of suspension or re vocation of the witness' 'certificate or license. The Solicitor of the Treasury had ruled to the contrary. This decision of the Attorney-General, It Is said, will hereafter prevent sympathetic strikes among registered steamship officers. The statute provides that If any licensed officer shall, to the hindrance of com- mercc, wrongfully or unreasonably refuse to serve In his official capacity on any steamer, as authorized by his certificate, or shall fall to deliver to the applicant for such service. If demanded, a statement showing good reasons for his refusal, etc, his license shall be revoked. Today's decision grows out of the strike which prevailed on the Great Lakes during the past Summer, and which finally resulted In the discharge of all but union men. Two cases of similar import recently arose in Portland when .three assistant engineers were deprived of their licenses on the steamer Elder and as many on the Columbia, for refusing to testify. The Attorney-General, In answer to the plea that by giving testimony these officers would be deprived of their employment, and be dropped from the unions, holds that the good of the service Is a para mount consideration, and to that end, of ficers cannot be permitted to withhold in formation affecting the service, and yet remain a member of the service. Most of the strikes in point" have arisen from the refusal of union men to serve on vessels employing nonunion officers. "With authority, to revoke licenses, the depart ment believes the coastwise shipping will not be subjected to serious damage from prolonged strikes. There is no Intention of destroying the unions, but merely to prevent them from working an injury to commerce. t The Portland officers whose licenses were recently revoked were members of the Marine Engineers' Protective Associa tion.

"JOHN MITCHELL,, "President United Mlneworkers of America." "W. B. WILSON, "Secretary-Treasurer." OPERATORS GLAD IT IS OVER. Trcesdule Says He Believes There Will Be Work for All. NEW YORK. Oct. 21. The news that the coal strike had been officially de clared at an end was received with de light in this city. President Baer, of the Reading, when Informed of the news, said: "Well. I am very glad to hear that. I had heard of the resolution, but had not heard, that It had been adopted." xresident Truesdale said: "I am delighted to hear the news and trust that the men are satisfied. I be lieve there will be work for all. We'll get coal here in a jump, probably by the end of the week."- "JuEt as I expected," was President Fowler'fl only comment. Mr. Markle, the independent operator, was asked what was his attitude toward the striking miners formerly employed by his firm. "I have nothing to say," was the re Ply. Mr. Baer was asked tonight how soon coal shipments might be expected here, and he replied: "After the miners go to work Thursday coal can be brought here quickly." Mr. Baer spoke about some litigation that the coal operators had been consider ing. He said the litigation was that in stituted by William R. Hearst. He said further that a report had been received from an attorney on the matter. Mr. Baer went to Philadelphia this afternoon. MITCHELL WELL PLEASED, He "Will Act ns Attorney for Miners Before Arbitration Board. WILKESBARRE, Oct. 2L When asked for an expression of his views upon the action of the convention today. President Mitchell said: T "1 am well pleased with the action of the anthracite mlneworkers in deciding to submit the issues which culminated In the strike to the commission selected by the President of the United States. The strike Itself has demonstrated the power and dignity of labor. Conservative, intel ligent trade unlonlEm has received an Im petus the effect of which cannot bo measured, I earnestly hope and firmly believe that both labor nnd capital have learned from the miners' strike lefeoiia which will enable them to adopt peaceful, humane business methods of adjusting their difficulties in the future." President Mitchell has not made any ar rangements regarding his future move ments. He does not know whether ho will go to Washington on Friday. Tha miners' leader will act as the attorney for the men at all sessions of the commission, and will have with him several assistants. Headquarters here will bo kept open probably until after the award of the ar bitration commlsison is published. AMERICA NOT WORRIED. It Has Xo Information of Secret South American Alliances. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2L The State De partment is entirely without Information respecting the existence of any secret treaties of alliance between countries of South and Central America which could in the slightest degree affect the interests of the United States. It is not doubled that secret treaties have been entered Into between these countries curing the past 25 years, and, in fact, there have been open demonstrations, but up to this point none of these agreements has affected the United States. Just how an agree ment between two countries that might make the Isthmus of Panama the scene of hostilities would be regarded can be safely conjectured from the character of the Instructions supplied to Commander McLean and Admiral Casey during the troubles on the Isthmus recently. But the State Department steadfastly refuses to -express any opinion upon the, subject at this stage, taking the ground that it will be time to define its policy when something occurs requiring it. As to the agreement said to have been entered into between Chile and Colombia touching mutual co-operation, it is be lieved here that this convention. If really made, was for a special purpose, which Ut has already served in influencing Ar gentina to settle witnout more auo ner long-standing controversy with Chile growing out of the boundary dispute, and other matters. - AT OUTS WITH BRITAIN. Venezuela Sees Ulterior Motives In Dealings With Rebels. CARACAS, Venezuela, Oct 4. Diplo matic relations are very strained be tween Venezuela and Great Britain, and should the revolution not triumph all cir cumstances Justify a prediction of a rup ture between the two countries. In an Interview which General Castro granted the correspondent a short time ago, he said, referring to the commencement of the Matos revolution and the Incident oi the revolutionary steamer Ban Rlgh: "It Is now several months since the Ban Righ, chartered by the Matos revolution, arrived ct Trinidad, and we protested against her presence at that Island. The British Minister (Mr. Haggard) imme diately repaired to the Foreign Office and assured General Pachano, the Vene zuelan Minister of Foreign. Affairs, that he would do all he could to obtain In structions from his Government that the Ban Righ and all revolutionists residing at Trinidad and the other British West Indian islands should' receive orders to leave and not return to those Islands if the Venezuelan Government would agree that the surtax of 30 per cent imposed in the customs on goods coming from the British. West Indies, on their. entry Into .Venezuela, should be repealed." A Cabinet meeting was held, at which General Pachano submitted Minister Hag gard's proposal. It was rejected as un worthy of consideration, and the ques tion remained, at that stage. It seems, therefore, .from these facts that the Brit ish Government, tlfrough Its representa. tive here, offered security against the revolutionary party In exchange for, a commercial advantage. The Presdent added: "These proceedings ought to be known to the civilized world," and, rising and pointing to the open country, he con tinued: "And if tomorrow those fields are deluged with blood, it will be due only to you understand me?" He left his sentence uncompleted. Rebels Near Caracas.:, WTLLEMSTAD.

We know you need assistance from Ireland for organ izing' purposes, so I have cabled Joseph Devlin to come back to America. The Irish Land Trust has raised a fund of $500,000 to crush the Irish National League, and drive out .of public life, Mr. Dillon. Mr. Davltt, Mr. O'Brien and' myself. If such a thing were possible, what a ter rible calamity It would be for the Irish people. "You have pledged $100,000 In six months to meet the present and urgent necessi ties of the movement and you have fur ther pledged yourselves to give dollar for dollar on whatever sum is put into the Landlord TruBt This important action of yours will be read with dismay in Eng land and Ireland, where there is opposi tion to our cause."

His testimony covered the same ground as on the first trial. Cross-examined by ox-Governor Black for the defense, Cornish told of his first meeting with Mrs. Adams and her daugh ter, Mrs. Rodgers, soon after he first came to New York, and of his going to bo'ard with them. Ho retold the story of the receipt by him- of the poison- bottle, and of his having given to Mrs. Adams a glass containing a portion of its con tents. Harry King, who was present when Cornish received the bottle, and who es caped taking a dose of the poison only because there was no water In the club cooler, was called and corroborated Cor nish's testimony as to the receipt of the package. Howard A.. Adams identified the glass from which his mother drank the fatal poison, and the spoon used ip meas uring the dose. The next witness, Honry A. Weatherspoon, told of the talk at the Knickerbocker Club as to who sent the package to Cornish and of Cornish's ill ness. None of these witnesses was cross examined. Patrick J. Finneman said he saw Cor nish open tho poison package and throw the wrapper into a waste basket.

Ex-Governor Black and Mr. Osborne were asked what attitude Justice Lam bert had announced In regard to the much-discussed Barnet letters. Mr. Os borne said, ex-Governor Black agreeing with him. that although no formal discus sion had been reached, counsel under stood that the .District Attorney might put in as a standard of comparison of handwriting all of the Barnet letters that are colorless on their face. That is to say, counsel explained, that those letters which request the copy of a book or a pamphlet would be admitted, but the one or two sent to medical firms and concerning diagnosis of diseases, etc., should not be offered by tho prosecution.
