COMMISSION READY
Plans.forCoal-Strike Hearing
to Be Formulated.
TO BE NO TESTIMONY TODAY
QaeatioR of What Interests Are to
Be Heard and How and Where
First to Be Settled Sessions
to Be Public.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. All Is In readi
ness for the meeting tomorrow afternoon
of the anthracite coal strike commission.
All the members of the commission are
In the city, and most of the operators or
their representatives are here. The meet
ing will he called to order at 2 o'clock,
and the wishes of both parties to the con
troversy will be considered aa to the
method of procedure in securing testi
mony. Plans for holding the public ses
sions, places of meeting and various
other details necessary to be settled be
fore the actual work'of taking testimony
can be begun, will be decided. No testi
mony will be taken tomorrow. It is ex
pected that very little evidence will be
heard In "Washington, as it is not tho
desire of the commission to compel the
attendance of witnesses here when tho
evidence they have to give can be se
cured at greater convenience to thenf at
or near their places of residence.
The commission will also determine
whether it will give hearings to persona
not having a direct interest in the issues
at stake between the miners and oper
ators, but who believe they can give evi
dence of "a practical character that wiH
assist the commission in Its work. Con
siderable evidence of this character was
taken by the commission which reported
on the Chicago strike, but, unfortunately
it was not of material value in assisting
that body to arrive e-t Its conclusion.
Five of the mine operators or their
representatives arrived here tonight. They
included President George F. Bacr, of the
Reading; E. B. Thomas, of the Erie;
John B. Kerr, representing Thomas
FowleV, of the Ontario & Western; David
Wilcox, of the Delaware & Hudson, and
Alfred Waller, representing the Lehigh
"Valley. They spent the time In the lobby
of the hotel chatting, but refrained from
discussing for publication their plans for
tomorrow. The operators will hear the
ideas the commisison has to make for
undertaking the work in hand, and, if
necessary, will suggest such changes aa
will best secure the results desired..

ers who have reposed confidence in 'me
and followed my leadership during the
trying times.
"I shall regard it a great favor if. you
will express to tho Polish, Lithuanian and

confidence they have so freely given me.
I beg you Xo say to them that my high
est ambition shall bo to promote the "wel
fare and advance the interests of all tho
men and women in their labor for a liveli
hood. "I look forward to the time when
strikes shall be no more; when peace
and justice and right shall be secured for
those who toil; when labor and capital,
each recognizing its right and obliga
tions to society, shall work in harmony
for the common welfare of our coun
try and the general good of all our people.
"Gentlemen. X thank you with all my
heart. I cannot express my feelings to

Miners Can Take Care of Themselves
Firemen Order Ignored.
NEW YORK. Oct. 25. Daniel S. Jacobs.
chairman of the miners' defense fund
committee of the Central Federated
Union, said, at the meeting of that body
today, that as the strike of the anthra
cite miners had been declared off the
committee did not think it necessary to
levy any further contributions for the
miners.
Delegate Holland, of the Eccentric
Firemen's Union, said that no attention
would be paid to the order of the Inter
national Association of Stationary Fire
men, directing members not to handle
anthracite coal until all the striking fire
men at the mines are reinstated. His or
ganization had decided-that, as the mine
workers had called the strike off, no oth
er union had a right to interfere.

GLOOMY IN PHILIPPINES.
But President's Order Improves Food
Situation. 4
MANILA, Oct. 26. It is believed that
President Roosevelt's order permitting for
eign vessels to engage in coastwise trade
through the Philippine Islands will re
lieve Immediately the insular freight situa
tion and will improve and lessen the cost
of rice, In which article a famine is threat
ened. The Civil Commission intends to
act at once on the President's order, hop
ing thereby to avert suffering among the
poorer people of the island.
It is announced that British, German,
Japanese and Chinese vessels will engage
In the coastwise trade. Existing freight
rates from Manila to some ports in the
archipelago exceed the rate from San
Francisco to Manila.
Agriculture in the islands, already im
paired on account of the war and cholera,
has been further Injured by locusts. These
have appeared in many places, and are
working serious injurjvto the crops. Tho
advent of locusts, together with the fall
of the price of silver, renders business and
industrial prospects in the Philippines
gloomy.
Money for Food Supplies.
MANILA, OcU 26. Twenty-seven thou
sand dollars has been realized from the
sale of food supplies In the Provinces of
Batangas and Laguna, Luzon, and in the

and the work was carried on by General
Bell. The sum derlved has been turned
over by'Ge'ncral Bell to the Insular govern
ment, and it will be expended by the Civil
Commission among the people of Batan
gas, Laguna and Mindoro.
Cholera In Mindanao.
MANILA, Oct. 26. Tho cholera Is gain
ing a strong foothold on the Island of
Mindanao. It is expected to spread there,
as it has elsewhere in the islands. It
continues to be bad in the Province of
Ho Ho, Island of Panay, but It is light else
where. It has disappeared from Manila.
The cases reported up to date exceed 100.-
000.

FLOUR FOR SOUTH AFRICA
REMARKABLE GROWTH. OF EX
PORTS FROM UNITED STATED
In Ten Years the Volume of Amer
ican Trade Has Increased Nearly
Sevenfold.
WASHINGTON, Oct 26. The growing
Importance of South Africa as a market
for products of the United States is il
lustrated by some figures just received
by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics.
They show that the importations into,
Cape Colony, Natal, Delagoa Bay and
Belra amounted last year to more than
$150,000,000, or nearly treble the total for
a decade earlier. These figures are pub
lished by the British South African Ex
port Gazette. They show that the im
ports of Cape Colony in 1301 were $104,220,
000; those of Natal, $46,500,000; Delagoa
Bay, $993,374, and Belra. $2,937,0S8; mak
ing a total of $153,750,462.
This Is a marked Increase over the Im
ports of the preceding year, and Is 2
times as much as the total for 1S92, a de-

cade earlier, the figures being: For 1S92,
$61.653,O0Or 5S95 $52,048,000; 1000, $115,336,000;
and 1901, as already' indicated.- $153,750,r
462. Of this total importation into South
Africa, $9S,9J0,O0Q was from the United
Kingdom, $23,037,000. from British colonies
and protectorates, $12,845,000 from the
United States. $3,441,000 from Germany.
Comparing 1901 with 1900 the total increase
has been very large, the figures for 1000
being $115,536,000, against $153,750,462 for
1901. Of this increase of $3S,000,000, $27,
000,000 was in the imports from the United
Kingdom, $5,465,000" from British posses
sions and protectorates, $1,962,000 from
Germany, and $1,001,000 from the United
States, showing that Germany made a
larger gain In its exports to South Africa
during the year than did the United
States.
United States In Second Place.
The United States, It wlli be ob
served, occupies second rank In the list
of countries supplying South Africa, the
largest figure being United Kingdom, $9S,
916,000, the next largest the United States,
$12,S4S,O0O; Victoria, $S.444,000, and Ger
many, $5,441,000. '
An analysis of "the imports into South
Africa by countries., shows that the
growth has been very rapid, and espe
cially so in imports from the United
States, the figures, stated in pounds ster
ling being: From the United States, 41S,-
326 in 1S92, and 2,640.193 in 3901; from
Germany, 231,172 in 1892. and 1.118,010
in 1901; from the United Kingdom. 10,118,
837 In 1S92 and 20,326,006 in 1901.
The rapid growth in Imports into South
Africa from the United States and the
extremely rapid growth In the consunv
Ing power of Africa adds interest to the
latest statistics of the trade of the United
States with Africa. These figures show
that for; the eight months ending with
August, 1902, our total exports to Africa
as a whole were $22,469,572. against $17,
707,186 in the corresponding months of
1901 and $14,597,337 in the corresponding
months of 1900.

FOREIGN STOCK MARKETS.
London Has Censed to lie Apprehen
sive of Nevr York.
LONDON, Oct. 26 The rates for money
continue low. The. 200,000 raised last
week to meet tho Treasury bills appeared
to be easily procurable on the open mar
ket and did not result in any marked
stiffening of prices. No applications for
large loans are being made to the banks,
consequently the banks' 4 per cent rate
has not yet had the effect of raising the
market prices.
The apprehensiveness concerning mone
tary conditions in -New York has now
fairly subsided. The nonspeculatlve con
dition of the Stock Exchange last week
extended Into the American department
which relapsed into inactivity,, in sym
pathy with the great Indifference. The
very slight damage to stock markets in
the United States by the late monetary
stringency there has begotten renewed
confidence, however, in American shares,
and these undoubtedly will continue to be
the leading feature In a continuously dull
market.
Berlin Rnided Steamship Shares.
BERLIN, Oct 26. The feature' of 'tho
Bourse last week was tho raid on Ham-
burg and North German Lloyd shares,
both going below par for the first time In
years. Hamburg-American shares were
sold heavily' all during the week. The
bears operated with the rumors of a bad
freight market, the competltfon of British
coal on vessels for return cargoes from
New -York, low estimates of the year's
dividends, and-the illness of Herr.Ballin,
general director of the Hamburg Line.
It was stated later that Herr Ballln's ill
ness was not serious. The shares of
ocean transportation companies made a
partial recovery,. Hamburg-American and
North German Lloyd both reaching 102
yesterday.
Although the- trading last week was
light, the decline in coal shares and irons
continued, and the list shows some heavy
drops- In this department The money
market last week was again very easy,
but loans failed to 1)0 influenced by this'
condition.
TUBERCULOSIS CONGRESS
Foreigners Regret That More Ameri
cans Were Not Present.
BERLIN, Oct 26. Surprise and regret
is felt by the delegates to the Interna
tional Tuberculosis Congress, which has
been in session here, tha.t tho United
States did not have a larger .representa-
tlon and especially that some one was not
present to give 'the result of the experi
ments carried on In America during the
last year with regard to the communica
tion of animal tuberculosis to human be
ings. The only American who attended
tho .congress was Dr. William Enger, of
the United States Marine Hospital 'Serv
ice, who is stationed at Naples. The
abstract of a paper on the direction
which should be taken by tuberculosis
investigation, the work of Dr. Charles
Denison, of Denver, Colo., has been cir
culated .among the delegates.
The last session of the congress was
held today. Dr. Williams, of England,
made an address in which he, advocated
the classification of patients in sanltorla
according to tho progress each had made
towai-d recoverv. The rnncrp then ad

chief results of the gathering have been
to show the progress made in Germany in
sanltorla and scientific appliances.
CHURCHES IN PORTO RICO
Episcopalian Bishop Make's Appenl
for .'50,000 at Once.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-RIght Rev. James
H. Hanburn, bishop of Porto Rico, at St.
Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, today
told of his work on that island, to which
he was sent a missionary in February,
1901. He said 'they had two churches on
tho Island, at- one of which the rector,
who had spent his whole life in the work,
has been totally blind for the past three
years. This man now asks that another
man be sent to the parish, and that he
receive $300 a year, so that he can remain
and be of what assistance he may.
"In San Juan," continued Bishop Han
burn, "we are erecting a church that will
cost $1C,0C0. I have $10,000 toward that, and
I want the other $5000."
The bishop dwelt at some length on the
temptations that surround young men who
have gone to Porto Rico from- the United
Statea He said that to do any effective
work among them "he must build parish
houses In the larger towns. To do what
he has planned already he must have $30,
000, and he begged that it be given 'him
without delay.

WILL COME TO ST. LOUIS
RUSSIANS . SEEK. ACQUAINTANCE
OF CORN BREAD AND MUFFINS.
For First Time in Half a Centnry List
of Censorship Rules Has
Been Compiled.
ST. PETERSBURG. Wednesday, Oct. 15.
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press.) A majority of the great Russian
firms and corporations have decided to
participate in tho St. Louis Exposition.
Although the1 former corn kitchens do not
seem to have succeeded in familiarizing
European nations with the delights of
Southern corn bread and muffins; it may
not be without interest to announce that
an international culinary exposition is to
be held in this city. Perhaps since Em
peror William of Germany has been, con
verted to the use of American breakfast
food, the American cereals' interests may
deem the opportunity worth seizing. Com
mercial conditions In the Interior of Russia
seem to be Improving somewhat
A report on the expedition Into the Ce
lestial Mountains (Thlan Shan) of East
ern or Chinese Turkestan is published. In
spite of an unfavorable season, Mr. Fed
henko, leader of the party, writes that he
has accomplished his task. Having tra
versed the "klshlaks" of Hunsan and Na
nal, he reached the plateau of Iskem,
where two previously unknown lakes were
discovered. The Santalash was exploed
to Its source. The party then crossed the
Pass of Aflatoum and reached Lake Sary
Chllek, whence It returned to Tashkent by
the Chokal Valley. Over 3000 plants were
secured.
The agricultural committee of Soudja,
in Kourska, two members of which, M.
Yervelmov and Prince Dolgorusky, were
rebuked by the Ministry of the Interior
for procuring the adoption of a radical
programme at the first session of the com
mittee, has found an effective way of pro
testing. When tho committee met again.
a subcommittee report was read virtually
reasserting the propositions which had
proved so offensive toN Minister von Plehwe
and which the Czar by implication con
demned In his address to the Zemstvos of
Koursk. The chairman, who had doubt
less received careful Instructions in the
meanwhile, declared that he could not per
mit a discussion of a report or a vote upon
It. His communication was received In si
lence. He then read tho next subject on
tho programme.
This subcommittee report embodies de
mands and. complaints of the Zemstvos
which date back in some Instances to the
very origin of local government In Rus
sia, and are striking illustrations of the
persistence of the Zem3tvo ideals. It is a
pithy reproduction of a portion of the pro
gramme arranged by Zemstvos leaders
from 25 provinces at Moscow last Spring.

KLAMATH'S HEART.
(Continued from First Page.)
essential characteristics of pioneer life
are so curiously and Interestingly mani
fested as here in Klamath. To one
familiar with the conditions and ways of
early Oregon and my memory goes back
to the flrst buggy and to tho first pe
troleum lamp in Yamhill County, to the
days ot Andy Shuck In politics, and of
Joab Powell in religion tfiere are hero
constant reminders of the pioneer life,
which for the Willamette Valley came
to an end long ago. In many respects,
to be sure, the differences are radical, but
the general likeness is nevertheless very
close. Here Is the same separation
from .the great active world with Its
familiar effects In relation to mental
habit and community life In general. A
trip 40 miles from home is a more serious
undertaking in point of time and pos
sibilities of hardship than a journey from
Portland to San Francisco. A trip between
Klamath Falls to Lakeview, towns con
ceived to Ho in close neighborship, calls
for 27 hours' continuous riding in a stage
coach, or two and one-half days' all-daylight
ride. The trip from Lakeview to
Portland takes as much time as from
Portland to New York, with infinitely
much greater hazard and hardship. In
truth, themost convenient way to make
this journey Is by way of Reno, New,
and Sacramento, Cal:
The tie of neighborship, as In tho
Willamette country In the old days, 13

brings out the whole population for many
miles around. Merrymakings, are demo

practice literally to dance all night till
broad daylight and go home with the
girls in the morning. The price of tickets

adding that she could "easily get it from

such things."
To me one of the most interesting cir
cumstances of the pioneer condition in
this country is its effect upon educated
and thinking men, for here as everywhere
else where there are men at all, there
are specimens of a really fine culture.
The Circuit Court was in session last
week while I was in Lakeview, and I was
interested to see that its official organiza
tion was up to the usual standard. And,
to be entirely candid, I thought the "rid
ers of the circuit" who appeared before
Judge Henry L. Benson a product of the
old Portland Academy, by the way a
very superior company of men. "How do
the lawyers of your court," I asked the
Judge, "manage to get along without the
great etore of law books which seems- so
essential to modern practice?" "I think,"
was the reply, "that the lack of many
books is the making of good lawyers, and
the demonstration of that fact Is right
here." Proceeding, he declared that the
local practlca depended to an appreciable
extent less upon the massing of prece
dents and more upon the examination of
legal principles than in the courts of
"Western Oregon. "I attribute it to the
meagerness of the local libraries, and I re
gard It as a fact vitally related to the
very superior mental character of the
so-called 'circuit riders'." Continuing he
asked: "Did you ever hear of a pioneer
country which did not have a fine bar?
Has the character of the pioneer law
yers of Oregon and California been sur
passed by those who have come after
them? I think not; and I believe that the
conditions of the practice had much to
do with the study of legal principles and
the development of independent powers
of reasoning which marked the profession
al habit of those early times."
Not least among the charms of the
country Is the pioneer habit of cordiality
and friendliness, even to strangers, which
everywhere prevails. From my own ex-

perlence I am able to bear -rrttness to thr
unlversal graclousncss and kindliness ol
tho people hereabout. My trip, being
made in limited time and with constant
variations from the beaten track and from
the habits of travel, put at many points
some little hardship upon a good many
persons. I have mado many early morn
ing starts during the past three weeks,
calling for 5 o'clock breakfast and for an
earlier feeding of my team; and with It
all, I have encountered no half-hearted
or ungracious service. Cordiality has
marked every personal encounter of my
long journey of u00 miles on wheels, and
during the whole period I have not seen
a man or woman in any relation whose
look or attitude implied that it would be
safe to offer a "tip." Like a stable boy

a moment of relaxed judgment I tendered
a quarter for some slight service, one
