Coleman, president of Wil lamette University, spoke la behalf of the university at the Taylor-Street Methodist Church yesterday afternoon and evening, and secured over $1200 in collections, and pledges, all of which is to be devoted to the college debt. President Coleman has been in office but a. few months, and in ,that time he se cured over $1S,000 to apply to the debt, which amounted to $35,000 when he was called to Willamette. It has been only by the hardest sort of work that Mr. Coleman has raised this amount in such a short time, and the college is deeply in debted to him for his efforts. Yesterday's contribution of $1200 will swell, the grand total of money received for the debt to over $20,000, or .consider ably over half of the outstanding debt. Mr. Coleman will not rest until ho has se cured all the $35,000 necessary to give the university a clean record sheet. THE HIGHEST OFFICE. A."Ia Veazle Spealcs at the V. M. C. A. on the Daily Christian (Life. Attorney A. L. Veazle addressed an in terested audience yesterday afiternoon at the Y. M. C. A. on "The Highest Office." On account of the Inclement weather a smaller audience than usual) was as sembled in tho auditorium, butf those w,ho came found food for deep thought In the remarks of Mr. Veazie. Miss Stella Garner sang an attractive eoprano. solo and the .many hymns were sung in the hearty manner always , heard in the rooms of the association. "Christianity is not simply the putting on of. some ac complishment, such as music or one of the arts. It is for everyone,-" declared the speaker. "The quotation, 'Love not the world nor the thljigs that are of the world,' is applicable, here. "This is not a Sunday message; it is a Monday messenger; for too many do not follow out their Sunday religion during the rest of the week. The beatitudes are for every man, not for anyone alone. Put your religion Into your daily life and you will be a better man. "The one that is righteous doeth right eously. The man that Isnot filled with Christianity is like the Christmas tree with many glittering ornaments that do not grow there. The highest office is to be a true and upright follower of Christ."

Mysterious Spirits Are Brought Back to Commune With Living. The Truth-iSeckers' Association held a meeting last evening at which Mrs. Ada R. Smith gave a very practical demon stration of the workings of occult philos ophy and acted as a medium for spirits who were longing for communication with their friends on earth. Dr. W. E. Cope land, of Burley, Wash., told of the first manifestations he had experienced that a great something was In control of his mind andAbody. Dr. Copeland believes that this is one of his many reincarnations, and also thinks that he? is a descendant of the inhabitants of the submerged At lantic The priests of Atlantis, he says, taught him many things In his youth, and he predicted occurrence and outcome of the Civil War in ,1854. His address was interesting and was warmly ap plauded by his followers. Mis. Smith brought the spirits of "Mary Becker." an intangible Mrs. Darling, and a still more mysterious "Aunt Polly" into the room, and by allowing ,an etherlc wive of vibration to guide her she singled out the persons who had desired that those spirits come forth. Hnnlnes Men and tlve Church. The Men's League of the First Congre gational Church has been formed, with the idea of seeing what can be done with the much-debated question. "What is the reason the business men do no attend church?" The league is composed of bus iness men, and they planned the Sunday evening services themselves. The objects of the league are to Increase the interest and effectiveness- of the Sunday evening service and to. demonstrate the fact that religious life and secular life are not necessarily put of harmony. The league has a strong corps of officers and commit tees. The latter are changed'every month, 0 that all may have a voice in arrang ing the services. THOSE CUBAN CHILDREN. Are They Likely to Become a Public Cliarse? To Establish Precedent. NEW YORK, Nov. 2. The board of spe cial Inquiry at Ellis Island adjourned to day without taking up the case of the 11 Cuban children who came here Saturday on the Ward Line steamer Orizaba, des tined for Point Loma. Cal., to be edu cated and cared for at the farm of the Universal Brotherhood, conducted under tho direction of Mre. Katherlne Tingley. The children are detained on the island, and Dr. Gertrude Van Holt, in whose charge they came from Santiago, is with them. Commissioner Williams said today that the case of the children opens an impor tant and interesting question, which will probably be used to establish a precedent for theiguldance of the department in the matter 'of admission of Cuban children to 'this country for the purpose of education. The technical point on which the children will be deported. If- the board shall de cide to debar them, he says, will be that they are liable to become a public charge. No one appeared at Ellis Island today to produce any testimony before the board on either side of the question, and the board did not take up the matter. What ever the board's final ruling shall be. Commissioner Williams is. confident that an arjpeal will be taken, first to him and then to the Treasury Department in Wash ington, in order to make this a test case and establish a precedent. IN THE LONDON PAPERS. Morgan, the Speyem and a Daron Write Letters. LONDON, Nov. 2. Not the least re markable feature of the "tube" railroad controversy here Is the appearance of such firms as the Morgans and Speyer Bros., as contributors to the correspond ence columns of the London newspapers. The Speyers followed up the acrimonious "tube" debate In the House of Commons Thursday night by publishing an open letter in .the London papers disclaiming all responsibility for the defeat of tho Morgan bills and explaining that they had bought out the United Tramway shares In the course of usual business long before the rupture between the Morgans and the United Tramway management. The Morgans replied through the Times char acterizing Speyer Bros', explanation "as entirely incorrect," recounting the history of the Yerkes Company and declaring that the Morgans have, been purposely kept In ignorance of the sale of the Union Tramway Company stock until the very moment the London United bill was with drawn before the parliamentary commit tee October 21. Curiously enough, Sir Lewis Mclver, chairman of the House of Commons Railroad Commission, who was a bitter participant In the debate of October 30, writes to the Times explaining that he did not mean anything by his vigorous condemnation of the members of the Stock Exchange for connection with the "tube"' tangle and declaring that he believed the purchasers of the shares In question were perfectly within their rights. FILIBUSTERING IN CO RE A. Arms and Ammunition Landed There by a Britisher. VICTORIA. B. C, Nov. 2. The steamer Athenian, which reached port today from the Orient, brought news from Corea that a Britisher named Blllbrough recently landed a cargo of arms and ammunition from a filibustering schooner from Hong Kong Jn the vicinity of Gensan. The Gen san correspondent of the Tokio AshI, who wires the news to his paper, says it is not known for what purpose he brought the arms, nor can anything be learned re garding the matter. The Vladivostok correspondent of the Osaka Malnchl and three other Japanese have been imprisoned by Russians on the charge of being spies. He was arrested by soldiers of Barabash Barracks and a copy of the Siberian map compiled by Russian ordinance survey being found In his possession he was taken to Vladi vostok and jailed. The three other Jap anese were shop clerks engaged at Habln and were returning to Japan. Sketches of barracks seen en route were found in their possession, and this led to their arrest. Protests regarding the arrests are being made by Japanese officials. The Pekin correspondent of Japan pa pers report that the post of Viceroy of Klang Su and Che Klang, made vacant by" the recent death of Liu Kun YI. has been given to Viceroy Chan Chi Chun, but he resolutely refuses to accept and will resign If pressed to accept the new office. The Pekin government is much troubled about the matter. Before dying Liu Kun Yi recommended Chan Chi Tung as his successor. The China newspapers have long eulogies on the late Nankin Viceroy, who, they say, saved South China from being affiliated with the Boxer mad ness of the North.

One-third of the pop ulation of Vienna made pilgrimages yes terday and today. All Saints' day and AH Souls' day, respectively, to the Central cemetery of Vienna. The pilgrims started in the early morning and Teturned late at night. Some went on foot while oth ers used vehicles of all descriptions. It Is estimated that 600,000 persons visited the graves In the cemtery on these two days. The plgrims all carried wreaths or flowers and before the tombs and In the long grass burned countless candles. The sparsely-occupied parts of the cem etery presentel a weird and picturesque spectacle. The monuments "of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, as well as the plot where are burled the GOO victims of the Ring Theater fire of 18S1. attracted thousands of visitors. This cemetery is the largest In Europe and contains 622, 000 graves. Emperor Francis Joseph and other mem bers of the royal family placed wreaths upon the coffins of the Empress and of Crown Prince Rudolph, in the vaults of the Capuchin Church. SACRED TOMB OF ABRAHAM. Porte Withdraws Permission to Al low Ground to Be Dug Up. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 2. In spite of the formal promise given to United States Minister Lelshmann, last August, in the name of the Sultan by His Majes ty's secretary, to grant Mr. Banks, an American citizen, authority to make arch aeloglcal researches at Tel-Abraham, the Porte has now declared to Spencer Eddy, Secretary of Legation and Acting Minis ter, that he Is unable to grant the authori zation in question to Mr. Banks, as the place where the American desires to carry on his researches Is in sacred ground and Is supposed to contain the tomb of Abra ham. The Porte expresses its willingness to indemnify Mr. Banks. Mr. Banks has forwarded this communication to Wash ington. European Diplomatic Changes. BERLIN. Nov. 2. The Allgemeln Zeltung eeml-officlally announces that Baron von Eckhensteln, secretary of the German Le gation In London, has been granted a year's leave of absence, and that he will be succeeded by Count J. von Berstoff, Prussian secretary of legation "at Munich. Bavaria. Prince Henry of Reuss, hitherto secretary of the German Legation at To kio, is appointed secretary of legation at Copenhagen. IJe will be succeeded at To kio by Baron von Grueman, now at Bu charest, who will be succeeded by Herr von Grenan, a secretary of Ihe London Legation. Another .Salacious -Scandal. LONDON, Nov. 2. A tremendous sensa tion was caused here today by statements that another scandal of the Oscar Wilde type was about to become public property. It is asserted that the man whose name is connected with the 'affair, and who is a peer, has fled the country, but there Is every reason to believe that he Is at pres ent lying ill at an English watering-place. A report of this affair found Its way into print In guarded language this morning, but every effort will be exerted to prevent further publicity. Chinese Coming Here to School. VICTORIA, B. C. Nov. 2. An imperial decree Issued by the Chinese government provides for the dispatch of a number of Chinese students to the seats of learning in the United States for educational pur poses. The students will be sent at gov ernment expense to take post-graduate courses, and upon their return those suc cessful in examinations will be -appointed to government positions. The steamer Tordenskjold, which came to this Coast for the Klondike trade, has been sold to a Japanese at Kobe for $60,000. LIVES IN TWO STATES FRANK MISER EATS IN. OREGON, SLEEPS IN CALIFORNIA. Dweller on the Boundary Line Com pares the Assessment and Taxation Laws. CHETCO, Or., Oct 30. (Special cor respondence.) Seven miles or so north of Smith River Corners, I crossed the state line between Oregon and California. An oak post about 4x4 stands alongside the road, and on the hillside above the farm lands of Mr. Miser Is a. stone mon ument. Frank Miser's house, stands on the state line, on the northern boundary of Del Norte County, California, and southern boundary of Curry County, Ore gon. There are three bedrooms, half the sitting-room and half the dining-room In California and half the sitting-room, half the dining-room and all the kitchen In Oregon. Mr. Miser and family can sleep In one state and eat in the other, and he can pay his taxes on personal property' In either state. His farm of 440 acres has 20a acres in California and 235 acres in Oregon. I asked Mr. Miser: "Where do you pay your taxes" "I pay onthe north half of my farm in Oregon, to Curry County, and on the south half In California, In Del Norte County." "Where," I asked, "do you pay the taxes on your personal property?" "I pay all my taxes on personal prop erty In California." "Why?" I asked. . "Because, although property Is assessed lower In Oregon than California, and there Is an exemption of $300 which Cal ifornia has not, still It pays me to pay in California, as the . levy Is so much lower. The Oregon method of assessment favors the man with little property, but when a man has personal property worth several thousand dollars he can save con siderable by paying the taxes in Del Norte County." "What do you think of the low values placed on real estate by Assessors In Oregon?" "I think they are making a great mis take and hurting the tate of Oregon. In the first place It injures the credit of the person assessed. If I' should want a short credit from an Oregon banker or storekeeper, he would look up my assess ment and find It about one-half what I am really worth, but he would rate my credit on that assessment. If I go to a banker or stor&keeper In California for credit, he looks-up my assessment and it Is about what J am really worth, and I get my rating of credit higher In conse quence. I believe a man should protect his credit as well as his capital If I were to have my cattle, horses, hogs and sheep assessed In Oregon, I would pay out more money In taxes on account of the high levy, as personal property Is as sessed about, tho same In both states. I would much prefer to have my land lying in Oregon assessed for three times its present assessed value, and the tax levy one-third, as that would cftst me no more money, and yet show my true credit standing." "Why do the Assessors place such low values on farm lands and real estate?" "They claimed It reduced the amount of state tax each county would have ' to pay, but they can have no such excuse now, as, according to a recent law, I understand the state levy Is not made on the basis of the county valuation, but upon the- amount each county expends lo cally, and it seems to me the Assessors should now assess all property, both real and personal, at its true value, and make Oregon appear,therlch.stateu;she rjiay 'to toy, , aa4 IwmmcOm Jwy.kJkach county ojwulI or m mmm.mim:wi imt over; tHaCaXferBia. line, about flV tt,Tr8 bcj, a4 crow the brfclr, tne roaas tone, tne aeit-nana one lead Ing here and the "right-hand up Wind chuck Valley, passing first through the dairy farm of Mr. White. In the grove along the creek Is the place where Sum mer campers from Smith River and Cres cent City pitch their tents and come to hunt and fish. Both WIndchuck and Chetcd Rivers have the reputation of be ing full of fine, large trout and salmon. and the rod and llnefand also gig or spear can be used. MrN White has himself speared a dozen salmon In one day, fine large ones, and there are t salmon In the creek nearly the whole year through. He has seen Alvln Cooley catch 250 moun tain trout in one day. These fishing grounds extend from seven to 20 miles Into the mountains, and are good right from tide water. Along Chetco and WIndchuck Rivers are found deer and bear. A person can go out any time, I am told, and raise a deer within two miles of the wagon road, and black and brown bear, are found about six miles back In the mountains, and are particularly abundant just after the acorns fall, when they are fattening up for Winter. Black bears feed on black berries, huckleberrrles and acorns, which are very plentiful. It may be-mentioned In this connection that acorns are fine feed for hogs, and when there are fewer bears here, many more hogs will be raised. A black bear s hide, when prop erly cured, with the head on, is worth from $10 to $25, and a bear will weigh from 300 to 500 pounds and makes very good meat. Of the fur-bearing animals there are coons, mink, skunk, otter, marten, lynx,, wild cat fox and cougar (or California Hon), and there are many here who make their entire living from trapping. Coons in particular ate very abundant Years ago elk were abundant and could be seen In large herds, and one man reports having seen. In 1S54, as many as 500 together on Lone Ranch. about eight miles from here. At the present time elk are seen only occasion ally, and then two or three together. There are said to be some elk In the redwood timber and on Pistol River, north of here. Copper and Gold Prospectors tell me there are ledges of copper and gold rock on the headwaters of WIndchuck. Chetco and Pistol Rivers. and the gravel bars along each of these streams all contain more or less gold. and some of them are worked every year. Very little prospecting has been done, as there are not even trails to follow and the country is rough, and until a rail road Is built or the Chetco harbor Is im proved. It will be impossible to develop these ledges without expanding a great aeai or money, wmch people here do not have. So tho mineral country will wait for the prospector's pick and shovel un til he can see his way clear to realize on what he may find within a reasonable time. The indications are said to be very favorable for them, there being some large gold and copper ledges developed In tne mountains in Curry County. Beautiful Scenery. What struck me particularly as I trav eled Che wagon road along the coast in the vicinity of Chetco was the beauty of the scenery. The farm lands lie along the shore of the ocean and extend back to the foothills, distant from a half-mile to two miles, and the county road leads along the foothills and you look out across the farms and pasture lands, which have a gradual slope towards the ocean, out across the bosom of the- Pacific, while behind you tower the mountains, hun dreds of feet highland bare of timber until near the summits. It seems as though Nature had prepared the land and water so as to combine them In a beautiful landscape which might be con veniently and easily enjoyed by man. You can look down the coast and see the waves breaking oh the shore as far as Point St George, near Crescent City, and up the coast as far as the headland, seven miles away, forming Chetco harbor, and out in the ocean you can, at night see the flash of white and red Hchts of Seal Rock lighthouse, thirteen miles away. Sites for- a town are abundant here, as for ten miles along the coast toe land has just the right slope to show a city off to advantage, and water can be brought along the foothills and used on the lands for Irrigation, and the pro ductiveness of the soil for dairying or farming Increased tenfold. . In my next letter I shall tell something about Chetco, and Chetco harbor and the surrounding country. E. C. P. ART SCHOOL OPENED. Emperor William Made a Character istic Speech. CHARLOTTEBURG.

HALIFAX, N. S.. Nov. p.. A dispatch from Sydney, C B., says that prepara tions for the final test of the Marconi wireless system have already commenced, and that the Inventor anticipates the com plete success of the system. Mr. Mar coni said today, alluding to his experi ments: y "For 200 miles from Poldhu I transmit ted messages on my last trip, and I re ceived messages at a distance of 00 mllea from Poldhu.

Verge Of Insanity Despite Doctor's Care. Nervous Cramps in Hands &.nd Feet. Dr. Miles Nervine Was My Salvation. Sleeplessness is at once a symptom and a disease. Ju6t as soon as the nerves become deranged the patient suffers from sleepless, ness. Deprived of their natural rest the nerves soon lose all force and vitality and while sleeplessness is a symptom in such cases it frequently becomes chronic and remains the chief effect of disordered nerves. Dr. Miles' Nervine quiets the nerves and strengthens them; soothes the tired brain and permits sleep; restores lost energyand vitality and brings sleep, health and strength. ""Previous to our coming to the territory three years ago, we lived m Virginia and it was there that I got acquainted with the wonderful powers of Dr. Miles' Nervine. I had been under the doctor's care and taking hi:; medicine for over two years, but the nerv ous trouble that was gnawing my life away grew steadily worse. I had nervous cramps m my hands and legs, -which would draw up and pain me so that I could not sleep at night Often I never closed my eyes for days and nights together. The doctor finally told me he could do nothing more for me and that I was on the verge of insanity. He told me I might try your Nervjne as a last resort and it proved to be my salvation. When I had used four bottles of the 'remedy together with the Nerve and Liver Pills I had re gained my former good health." Mrs. Martha J. Sheffer, Omer, Oklahoma.

CLOSE VOTE ON PARDEE (Continued from First Page, California. One year ago the labor unions elected by a large majority the Mayor of San Francisco In a three-cornered fight. Since that time unionism has grown rapidly in strength and. has extended over the entire state. Taking every feature into consideration. It Is safe to predict that, the vote on Governor will be close, with the odds slightly In favor of the Democratic nom inee, providing no unforeseen contingency arises before Tuesday. Congressional Fights in, Doubt. There is some fear among the Repub licans concerning the several Congres sional districts. The Fourth, Second, Fifth and First are regarded as very close. the degree of doubt being in the order named. In the Fourth District the can didates are Julius Kahn, Rep., and E. J. Livernash, Dem. and Union-Lab. Thin district is wholly Included In the City of San Francisco, where union labor has its greatest strength. The fight has been a warm one and has been conducted with many personalities. The particular work of the candidates for the Chinese exclu sion act has been the chief- issue. Liver nash was one of a committee sent from this state to Washington to secure the re-enactment of Chinese exclusion last Winter; He charges that Kahn was not sufficiently active in securing legislation. Kahn, on tfie other hand, declares he was true to the Interests of labor and did much for exclusion. The vote wlil be close. While the dis trict Is nominally Republican, the pecu liar conditions make all predictions al most useless. Strong Campaign Against Lond. In the Fifth District a strong fight has been made against the return of Rep resentative E. F. Loud. He is also op posed by a fusion candidate, William Wynn. While the race is close It Is be lieved that the Influential standing of Loud In the House, owing to his long membership, will pull him through. The candidates In the Second District are Congressman Frank Coombs, Rep., and Theodore Bell. Dem. Both candidates are from Napa, and have made a hot fight in a district which is generally close. National Issues will, it is believed, re elect Coombs. In the First District there Is a strong union element Gillette, the Republican nominee, Is from Humboldt, a timber and agricultural community. Ford, the Dem ocratic nominee, is from the mining sec tion. This makes the First District doubt ful. Representative Metcalf will, without doubt, continue to represent the Third District Representatives McLachlan and Need ham, the Republican nominees In the Sixth and Seventh Districts, will also re tain their seats. In the. Eighth District M. J. Daniels. Rep., and W. E. Smythe, Dem., are the candidates. The district Is largely Repub lican and Daniels election is predicted. Turkey Defers to Britain.
