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.

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.

DEMOCRATIC BY 4000.
Chairman Hclfner Is Confident of the
Success of His Party.
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.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS ON.
Colombian Revolution Lilccly to End
"Without Farther Bloodshed.
PANAMA, Colombia, Oct. 21. 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

NO FEELING OVER. CASEY'S COURSB
Admiral Reports That He Is on Good

WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. The following
cablegram was received at the Navy De

"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

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.

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

deplores, and has no sympathy with the
leaders who are continuing tho strife on

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

regarding the situation In Washington
his comments are being taken' to apply
to factional difficulties in all states.

ARRAS, France, Oct. 31. A meeting

AN IDEAL MEDICINE.
A 'New Discovery Which Cares AH
Forms of Catarrh.
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.
