0 THE MORXING- OREGOHIAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1902. DM Plans of Government for Columbia. MONEY FOR LOWER RIVER Machines Now in Use Are to Be Retained. REPORT OF CHIEF OF ENGINEERS Extension of Jetty Will Xot Be Be gon Until Spring and Then. In Ac cordance "With. Findings of tlie Special Board. oREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Oct. 31. The Chief of Engineers In his annual report today states It hds been determined that the money appro priated for the Willamette and Columbia Rivers below Portland shall be expended entirely In operating the Government and the Port of Portland dredges, it being deemed inadvisable to undertake the con struction of a new Government dredge at this time. iloney appropriated for Tillamook Bay "will be expended in completing the pres ent project xind making surveyof the bar with a view of making estimates of the cost of securing channels of 15 and 20 feet depth, respectively. After reviewing the work done at the mouth of the Columbia River, the report states that It will not be possible to begin actual extension of the Jetty until next Spring. The work done last year has placed the old work in sound condition, the washed-away portions of the jetty and tramway having been replaced and put in good repair throughout. All the available plant has been thoroughly over hauled and will be ready for immediate use as soon as the special board outlines the final plans of Jetty extension and plans can be prepared. A survey made last June shows still further shoaling of the north channel with a depth of but 21 feet, but on the south of Clatt3op Spit there is a general increase In depth of two to tnree feet. There are also indications of the north channel closing, and a channel forming In a westerly direction with somewhat Increased depth. Sand Island and Clat cop Spit show very few changes from last year, while the depth at the harbor's throat has Increased by about 10 feet, the maximum depth now being So feet. FORTIFICATIOX OF HARBORS. Excellent Progres8 Made Alonp This Line During: the Pnst Yenr. WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. The annual re port of General G. L-. Gillespie, Chief of Engineers of the United States Army, which was made public today, presents a comprehensive statement of fortifications throughout the country. After giving a list of the SI points at which projects for permanent seicoast defenses have been adopted, the report says the defense of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Is under consideration, and also that pro jects for defenses for Porto Rico, Hawaii, Guam, Manila and Subig Bay have been approved by the Secretary of War. With reference to the last-mentioned plans, the opinion Is given that construction should begin at an early day. With regard to defenses for coaling sta tions, the suggestion is made that, in view of changes of construction of ord nance and ships, Congress should make provision for the appointment of a tribun al similar to the Endlcott Board of 1SSS for the determination of details. This board, it is suggested, should have juris diction over the important naval bases at Manila, Pearl Harbor and Honolulu, as "well as the proposed defenses for the St. Lawrence and the Greit Lakes. According to the report, the seacoast defenses are now somewhat more than 50 -per cent completed: 25 of the principal harbors of the United States have a suffi cient number of heavy guns and mortars mounted to permit an effective defense against naval attack, and during the past two years considerable progress has been made In the installation of an adequate rapid-fire armament, now the matter of first importance. The existing projects comprise S3G heavy guns of 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-Inch caliber; 1204 rapid-fire guns from 2.24-Inch to 6-Inch calibre and 544 mortars. The total cost for the engineer ing Y'orl 5s estimated at 550,000,000. In cluding what has been completed, as well as what remains to be done. Recommen dation is made that authority be given lor the resumption of the manufacture of mortars, which, it Is held, are an effective defense within their range. Up to the present time, provision has been made for the emplaclng of 321 heavy guns, 5S3 rapid fire guns and 37C 12-Inch mortars. Dur ing the past year, the addition to the completed armament of the coast amount ed to eight 12-lnch guns, three S-inch guns, 20 rapid-fire guns and 34 mortars. It 3s Intended to devote the appropria tion of last June; to the construction of emplacements for two 12-lnch gups, four 10-Incli guns, 44 G-lnch guns and 52 15 pounders. Report Is made of sites pur v chased during the year, and an appro prlation of 52.000,000 for the purpose of se curing still other sites is recommended. The most important or the sites yet to be secured is at the southern entrance to New York harbor, which was made necessary by the deep-water improve ments now In progress. The report says that with four excep tions all harbors are now equipped with torpedo storehouses, cable tanks and mln- additional storage facilities are still re J quired at several locations, and an est rrmtn fr tiY otv to h c.-.i i, Engineering Department is submitted for their construction. General Gillespie says the duties de volving upon the Engineer Corps are heavier than before in its history. Com plaint is made that under the reorganiza tion act of February. 11501, the rate of pro motion for officers hereafter joining the corps is made slower than it was before, and a return to the old system Is urged. The report contains a complete resume of the river and harbor Improvements for the year, but owing to the fact that no river and harbor bill will be passed by Congress at Its next session, no estimates are made for special improvement projects. There Is. however, an estimate In the lump for money required, as fol lows: Tnder continuing contracts $18,570,339 Under California Debris Com mission 15.000 The Mississippi River Commission sub mits an estimate, amounting to $2,550,000. During the past year the expenditures amounted in the aggregate to S14.41i.52S. Reference is made to the improvement at Manila harbor and the Paslg River. whlch is being carried out with Insular funds, consisting of a continuous appro priation not to exceed S3.000.000. United States currency, of ' which $1,000,000' has been actually appropriated. The harbor work Is being done by contract to the amount of S2.150.C00. It Is to be completed in three years from May 1, 1302, and the Paslg River work is- being done by day labor and the use of the plant owned by the insular government. HAY XOTB NOT RADICAL. Colombia Can Take No Offense at Cannl Letter. WASHINGTON, Oct." 3L From trust worthy sources It is learned that the note of Secretary Hay to Minister Hart at Bogota, which was forwarded from here on Tuesday last, was not emphatic, as was at first supposed. It is said that nothing was contained In it which "might be construed as a threat or as protesting against Minister Concha's action in post poning the treaty negotiations. On the contrary, pie note was friendly in char- uticr, anu urgea misier iiart to use nis best endeavors to induce the Colombian government to proceed with the negotia tions for a treaty without further delay. It is -understood that the question of the United States assuming sovereignty over Colombia was not considered, but that the request for early action by that country was based upon the negotiations previous ly conducted which led to the forward ing of Instructions to Minister Concha .to begin the work of concluding the treaty. NO UNDUE POLITICAL ACTIVITY. Civil Service Commlxxlon on the RiKlita of Officeholders. ' WASHINGTON. Oct. 3L The 19th an nual report of the United States Civil Service Commission, for the last fiscal year, has been submitted to the Presi dent. Regarding political .activity of of ficeholders the report says: "In the classified service, where the choice Is made without reference to po litical considerations, and tenure of of fice is unaffected by the change of par ties, it is perfectly practical to provide that the officer or employe, while retain ing his rights to vote as he pleases, and to express privately his opinion on all subjects, should not take an active part in political management, or in political campaigns, for precisely the same reason for which a Judge, an Army officer or a regular soldier Is debarred from taking such active part; while in the case of officers appointed through patronage and upon political considerations, the proper limitation. In the present state of public opinion, is different. They must not coerce the political action of their subordinates. They must not use their offices to control political movements or influence the re sult of election; they must not neglect their public duties, nor cause public scan dal by their activity." The commission believes that the stand ards set forth are the highest which are practicable at the present time. It is held obviously unwise to apply the same rule to a fourth-class postmaster in a small village with no employes to intimi date, and who wishes to continue to act in political affairs as he always acted, as to the head of a great Federal office, who may, by his conduct, or even by his mere example, coerce and intimidate hun dreds of his subordinates. The report announces substantial pro gress in the competitive system and gen oral observance of the civil service law and rules during the year. The Inclusions in the competitive system during the year were the rural free delivery service, a considerable portion of the field serv ices of the War Department, the Census Office permanent employes, and the em ployes appointed because of the increased work during the war with Spain. There were G2.029 persons examined for places and 14.SS3 persons appointed, reinstated cr transferred, a large increase over'any preceding year. The commission recom mends legislation applying the competi tive system to the District of Columbia. A new revision of the rules to supplant the present obsolete provisions and the disjointed arrangement of numerous amendments will soon be submitted to the President. The commission will later make public the parts of the report relating to promo tion regulations, superannuation in the civil service and the need of competitive system in the Consular service. ARRAIGNS EDUCATED INDIANS. Agent Erwin Says That Compnlnory Worlc In Their Only Salvation. WASHINGTON, Oct. 31. A severe ar raignment of the Indians on the Ponce, Otoe", and Oakland reservation, in Okla homa, Is made by Agent Erwin. in charge of the reservation, in his annual report to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. The report says: "Hardly any of the young Indians, those who have graduated from non-reservation schools as well as those who have attended for a number of years, do any work at all. It can be set down as a perfectly safe rule that' as a class the young, educated Indians are the most worthless ones in the whole tribe. Is ear ly all of the work done by the tribes is performed by the middle-aged ones, who cannot write or .speak English. The edu cated Indian coming from the schools usually gives the excuse that he has noth ing with which to work, neither money. implements, nor stock of any kind. This Is true, but I notice that they manage to live on ineir annuities ana lease mon cy, ana nuy norses nuggies, etc.,- on credit, and borrow money from the banks with but little prospect of ever being able to pay their debts. Any able-bodied man or woman Is able to" obtain work at fair wages. Many of the people are addicted to drink, and both men and women are inveterate gamblers. They have practically noth ing to do. Their dnys are spent in almost utter idleness, and vice and debauchery are rampant. The degradation of these people will continue and increase until they are made to work and live by the result of their labors." A TURNDOWN FOR MILES. Root Approves Recommendation for Disappearing Gun Cnrrlnpre. WASHINGTON. Oct 31. Secretary Root has approved recommendations that -the disappearing gun carriage be used in con nection with guns of six-Inch caliber, as well as with those of larger bore, 'mis action marks the close of a contention lasting many months among the fortifi cation authorities of the War Depart ment. The carriage to be used Is largely the design of General Crczler, the present head of the Ordnance Bureau. Its adop tion was antagonized by General Miles as head of the Board of Ordnance and Forti fications. Congress, at its last session. e -JLtthncf f XVZ?? ' IftLT the merits cf the invention. That boara recommended the use of the carriages in the discretion of the Secretary of War for guns exceeding six inches In caliber, but suggested that the use of the carriage for guns of six Inches or less be suspended. This suggestion recently has been again under consideration by the Board of Ord nance and Fortifications, and in the ab sence of General Miles the board has agreed to recommend that the line should be drawn below the six-Inch gun rather than above it; thatthe Secretary has the same discretion with refsrence to it as he exercises to the guns of higher caliber, and that the carriage should be used for guns of smaller bore than six inches. Ctwe Against Naval fiittcer Settled. WASHINGTON, Oct 31. It is un derstood that the case of Assistant Paymaster Charles W. Penrose, United States Navy, who -was tried by court-martial on charges of Ir regularities while paymaster of the Michigan, will be settled by the aband onment of further proceedings against the young officer, and the acceptance his resignation from the naval service. CUBA IS FOR RECIPROCITY HAY TREATY BEING HELD TO GIVE ALL SIDES A HEARING. Minister Qncsada Snys Modifications Will Not HHrt the Interests of the United States. WASHINGTON, Oct 3L Senor Ques- ada, - Cuban Minister tp the United States, commenting on tne negotiations now being conducted fori commercial treaty between Cuba and thl3 country, to day said: "The reciprocity treaty is a purely com mercial convention, and has nothing to do with any other political questions which may arise between the two govern rrients, and has absolutely nothing to do with the Piatt amendment. The Cuban government has been studying the draft of the treaty submitted by Secretary Hay, and has been consulting the different In terests In the island, and ,the custom house receipts as well. In due time It will return the treaty with observations and modifications deemed best for the inter ests of Cuba, and at the same time with changes which will not hurt the Interests of the United States. "It has been shown by past experience, under tfie reciprocity arrangement by Mr. Blaine, that the commerce between both countries materially increased, and 1$. is expected that under any reciprocity ar rangement between the two countries, the figures will be still higher than they were 10 years ago, when they reached upward of $100,000,000." Mr. Quesada said the best of relations ex isted between the Cubans and Americans, the proof of it being that every steam er arriving at Havana and other Cuban ports brought a great many American in vestors, who not only were putting money into the Island, biK were establishing themselves there. He spoke of the popu larity of Minister Squlers, and the grati tude of the Cubans to the United States for services which were rendered. When asked regarding the proposed coaling stations in Cuba, Mr. Quesada said that four days before Mr.McKlnley was shot he had. at the instance of Mr. Palma, gone to Canton and secured from the Presidents solemn promise that while he was Chief Executive he would not ive his consent to the establishment of a naval station at Havana, and that Pres ident Roosevelt knew of the promise. Continuing, Mr. Quesada said that Presi dent Paima would never have gone to Havana while a foreign flag was flying over the city. The Minister also said he .could not see the necessity for a coaling station at Cienfuegos, which had been recommended by Admiral Bradford, chief of the Bureau of Equipment, in view of its proximity to Guantanamo, which also was recommended as a coaling station.

SEATTLE, Oct. 31. (Specials-Chairman Charles G. Heifner, of the Demo cratic State Central Committee, is not very sanguine of the success of the Dem ocratic forces in the approaching elec tion. Mr. Heifner, when asked tonight for an estimate of the probable Demo cratic vote next -Tuesday, and a predic tion as to the outcome of the election, said: "The Democratic state and Congres sional ticket will carry the stato by at least 4000 majority. My estimate Is based on reports which I have "received from the chairmen of the county committees In the several counties in the state. While I have not yet thoroughly canvassed tho situation, you are at liberty to state that in ray opinion Washington will go Demo cratic by at least 4000 majority next Tues day. "As to tho Legislature, I believe that body will contain a Democratic working majority of at least 10 votes. Western Washington will supply more Demo cratic members than Eastern Washing ton. I look for the election of at least 37 Democratic Senators and Representa tives on the East Side. In King County we will certainly elect eight Democrats, and possibly 12. In Pierce County we will elect seven Democratic members of the lower House, and one, and posslbly two, Senators. Tho Democratic forces will control the Legislature and will make possible the re-election of Senator George Turner. "In my opinion the majority of the Democratic Legislative ticket in Spokane County will win. Whitman also will send a majority of Democrats to the Legisla ture. In Walla Walla we will elect three members of the House. "Adams, Ferry, Franklin, Columbia, Stevens, Lincoln and Douglas arc cer tainly Democratic. The farmers are with us. They favor the appointment of a railroad commission, and there is no question that in the wheat-growing dis ' trlcts we will make heavy gains as com pared with two years ago." The Dempcratlomanagers hero believe that George Cotterlll will lead his ticket several thousand votes. The Democratic committee has "featured' Cotterlll in the campaign, giving him the best of it In every county In the state In point of ad vertisement. Cotterill Is a new man In state politics. He Is naturally a good speaker, has an engaging presence, a good voice, and in fairly well In touch with the Democracy of the Nation on National Issues. Senator Jones' Daughter "to "Wed.

There is reason to believe that the Colombian rev olution will now end with little further bloodshed. Confirmation from a reliable source has been received here that Gen eral Vargas-Santos, the military director of the revolutionists, has been negotiating a treaty of peace In Costa Rica with a representative of the Colombian Govern ment. Last week General Vargas-Santos sent a cable message to Governor Salazar asking leave to come here to confer with the. Governor personally. Today General Vargas-Santos repeated this request and General Salazar replied by cable telling him to cdme. Much Is expected from the approaching conference between these men. It Is also a fact that last Tuesday the revolutionary General Herrera sent a communication to General Salazar insist ing upon a conference with the Governor of Panama, and saying that from It he believed peace would result. This mes sage was answered by Governor Salazar yesterday. He said he was ready to meet General Herrera. General Herrera's desire for a peace conference Is undoubtedly a result of the recent surrender at Rio Frio of General Uribe-Urlbe, who was one of the most ac tive of the revolutionary leaders. Advice: from Colon say that the Royal Mail steamer Orinoco has arrived there. She brought confirmation of the reported peace arrangements mide with Generals Urlbe-Urlbe and Castillo by General Man Jarros. All of the Liberal forces, number ing about 2000, were at once granted reg ular passports. Generals Uribe.-Urlbe and Castillo were in Barranquilla, but it was reported that they would soon leave for Bogota. SETBACK TO REVOLUTIONISTS. More Government Troops Join the Force at Colon. COLON, Colombia, Oct. 31. A detach ment of 1300 government troops, com manded by General Lucio Velasco, ar rived here today from Savanllla, Depart ment of Bolivar, on board a French steamer. The steamer also brought a telegram, which had been censored by the Governor of the Department of Voll var, from General Uribe-Uiibe to his wife at Bogota. This message was dated Rio Frio, October 28, and said the writer was safe and about to. sign a treaty of peace, to include the entire Departments of Bolivar and Magdalena. General Urlbe Urlbe said he expected to reach Bogota shortly. The news of Urlbe-Urlbe's surrender is well calculated to dampen tho spirits of the revolutionists. The arrival of the 1200 government troops this morning, -the first Installment of the reinforcements destined for the Jsthmus, is also another great setback to his hopes. It is understood that Admiral Casey now authorizes the transportation on the rail road of Colombian troops and ammunition across the Isthmus. Last Wednesday a serious fracas all but occurred -at the railroad station in Pana ma between American marines on guard there and government officials and troops. The Colombians tried to remove from tho station six wagonloads.jjf ammunition which had come in from Colon, but the marines prevented them from doing so. The ammunition was subsequently deliv ered to the government MARCHING TO AID OF CASTRO. Troopa From' Mnrncnibo Will Join in Attack: on' Revolutionists. WILLEM STAD, Island of Curacao. Oct. 31. One thousand VAndrlno troops from Maracalbo Venezuela, disembarked at Puerto Cahello today, and: marched at once to Valencia to join the Governor's forces there, .which number about 2500 men. They will attack the revolutionists. from the rear, according to the present arrangement, at the same time that gov ernment forces under President Castro attack the enemy In front. President Castro hs left La Victoria and gone In the direction of Villa de Cura. Ho left only 1700 men at La. Vic toria. A report has reached here that forces under General Gom"z have been routed with heavy loss by Insurgents near San Mateo. General Gomez Is Vice-Presi dent of Venezuela, and has been operat ing with President Castro. NO FEELING OVER. CASEY'S COURSB Admiral Reports That He Is on Good Ternm With, the Bogota. WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. The following cablegram was received at the Navy De partment today from Admiral Casey: "Panama, Oct, 30. Three cars of am munition came over yesterday; the bal ance, lying at Colon, will come later. My relations with General Perdamo most friendly. Bogota saluted my flag on ar rival. Salute was returned, gun for gun." This statement seems to dispose of tne report that the Admiral adopted a course towards the Bogota which aroused the re sentment of the local government officials. Decree Closing Ports Repealed. WASHINGTON. Oct 31. The Stato De partment has been advised by the United States agent at Port-au-Prince, Hayti, that the recent decree closing the norts of St. Marie, Gonalves and Port de Paix has been repealed.

(Continued from First Page.) worthy of the name would do his fighting in the primaries and in the convention, und then, after making a fair fight, whether he won or lost, would stand by the ticket that was nominated. As lie warmed up to the subject, the President declared that whenever he finds a Republican morr anxious to defeat a candidate of his own party, for factional reasons, than ho is to accomplish a solid Republican victory at the polls, he was done vvitn him. He disdainfully remarked that he had no use for a Republican who would carry out his factionalism to the bitter end, and to the detriment of hi party. The President alluded to. the situ ation in Delaware to Illustrate the evils that crow out of factional lights In the party. The situation there he most deeply deplores, and has no sympathy with the leaders who are continuing tho strife on factional lineu That he regards as an extreme case, but one Involving the same underlying principles that are found in Washington, Wisconsin and several other states. Throughout the discussion no reference' was made to any particular faction In Washington. The President re ferred to ail alike. While he spoke only regarding the situation In Washington his comments are being taken' to apply to factional difficulties in all states. Batteries Given Generals Names WASHINGTON. Oct 3t The Secretary of State has bestowed the name of Bat tery Grlffen and Battery Burke on two of the batteries at Fort Hamilton. N.

Vincent, Prefect of the Depart ment du Nord, who has been acting as intermediary between the strikers and the mlneowners in that department. The mineowners have given the prefect the names of four persons who are to repre sent them in a conference with an equal number of strikers. In a semi-official statement given out tonight, President Loubet expresses hope for an early settlement of the strike, and declares that this will be a political ac complishment without precedent. Operators Make Terms to Miners. ARRAS, France, Oct. 31. A meeting was held here today between delegates from the coal companies and the striking coal miners. The companies offered, if the miners would agree to abandon their demand for an Increase in wages, to es tablish a system of pensions by which a miner aged 55, having served the same company SO years, would get a pension of S120, and a miner having worked with dif ferent companies In the Pas de Calais district for 30 years a pension of $110. The delegates of the miners declined to give their Immediate assent to this proposal. Strikers and Officers Clash. PARIS, vOct 31.

The tablet Is the ideal form in which to administer medicine, but until recently no successful catarrh tablet had ever been at tempted. There Is now, however, an ex cellent and palatable remedy for catarrh In tablet form, known as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and sold by druggists, composed of the most recent discoveries In medicine for cure of catarrh, and results from their use have been highly gratifying. The old-time treatment of catarrh, was in the form of inhalers, washes, douches, sprays, etc. Later on Internal remedies were used with greater successv but being In liquid, or powder form, were 'inconveni ent to use, and, like all mcdic'nes in liquid or powder form, lose their medicinal prop erties when opened or exposed to the air. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain highly concentrated antiseptics, hydrastin, blood root and red gum, which kill the catarrh germs in the blood and mucous membrane, and in this respect are strictly scientific and modern, because all authorities are now agreed" that catarrh is a constitutional blood disease, and local applications can have only a transitory effect The use of Inhalers, douches and sprays Is a nuisance and Inconvenience, and can In no wise compare favorably with the same antiseptics given in tablet form in ternally, where they can reach the stom ach and blood and kill catarrh germs right where they are produced. A prominent lawyer and public speaker of Pittsburg says: "I have been troubled with catarrh of the head and throat for 12 years. In this climate It seems impossible to get rid of it The continual dropping of mucus from the nose into the throat caused Irritation and hoarseness, serlously interferlng with my public speaking. It took me an hour or more of coughing. gagging, expectorating and sneezing every morning before I could settle down to work, and this condition gradually brought on catarrh of the stomach, causing loss of appetite, poor digestion and a foul breath, which annoyed me exceedingly. My phy sician advised me to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and I took them for two months, and was astonished to find how quickly they cleared my head, throat and stom ach, and I have no hesitation in recom mending them. They are not only pleas ant to take, but they seem to get at tho very root of the trouble, because, sinco using them, I have had no trace of ca tarrh." , Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at 50 cents for full-sized package. They can be carried in the pocket and used any time and as often as desired, since they contain no cocaine, mercury or any other injurious drug.
