ALL IS WELL IN ISLANDS Civilization Is Accomplish ing Wonders. FEW NATIVES IN REBELLION Greatest- Difficulty la Overcoming the Legends and Superstitions of the People Rice Famine Will Cause Suffering in Provinces. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10. The United States transport Sumner arrived in port this evening from the Philippines, after a most "stormy and most perilous voy age. Shortly after leaving Yokohama the vessel encountered one of those terrific storms peculiar to Asiatic waters, the typhoon. Boats were smashed, portions of her rigging carried away, and, during the height of the storm a launch was torn from Its fastenings and struck Mrs. Chaffee's stateroom with terrific force, the shock greatly prostrating that lady, who was ill when she boarded the vessel. For hours the stanch vessel was In the gale, but careful seamanship kept the ves sel In safety until the storm broke and the weather calmed down to permit her. being made shipshape. On Doard the Transport. On board the transport were General Chaffee and wife: Vice-Governor Wright, of the Philippine Commission, and Mrs. Wright; General Chaffee's staff. Captain J. R. Llndsley, Lieutenant Roy B.A Har per, Major J. L. Philips Mfl$jr 'William H. Arthur, Judge James H. Blount, of the Philippine insula (government; Lieutenant-Colonel Jame4-.v3RiIerr and Mrs. General Chaffee has this counlryrRfiPo' whlcii time duty called him to 3nba, China and to the Philippines. His services in China weite such that he was recog nized the world over as a tactician of wonderful knowledge and force, and a diplomat of unusual ability. To General Chaffee's efforts were due the speedy and peaceful settlement of the Chinese diffi culty, and m recognition of his services in China he was detailed to go to the Philip pines to bring about a more harmonious condition of offairs. All Is "Well in Manila. The General said to a representative of the Associated Press: "When I left Manila everything was progressing In a most satisfactory man ner. I could not be more pleased with the situation. Civilization has ac complished wonders, and the natives are fast recognizing the institutions of this Government and meeting them with a more friendly spirit Of course, some of the provinces are unsettled, and we ex pect to meet with further trouble, but the outlook is most cheerful, and beyond. an occasional skirmish here and there, I look for no great difficulties or disturb ance requiring unusual force to subdue. Peaceful methods are making themselves felt among the native leaders, who are, In many instances, assisting our Govern ment by advising their former belligerent followers to lay down their arms. Some of the former fighting Sultans, of which there are, a score, have become peaceful. "The greatest difficulty we experience in the islands Is overcoming the legends and superstitions of the people. It is hard to overcome at once traits which have been born in the natives for centuries, and I will say that to this one feature Is largely due the spread of cholera and other pestilential diseases among them. They cannot be made to submit to or to uncfTstan-1 the modern methods of treat ment, nor can they be made to see the utility of an up-to-date sanitary system, They will not submit to quarantine peace fully and frequently escape entirely, and thus spread disease. In the City of Ma nlla very good system prevails, and in consequence the health conditions are bet ter there than they ever have been In the history of the city. Hnrdslilp in Some Provinces "Great hardship prevails in some of the provinces where the natives are unable to plant their' rice crops on account of the loss of their farm animals, and I look for much suffering In those provinces, but the Government has already taken steps to zelieve the situation, and it will not be long before mostof the needy will be looked after. "I am very much pleased with the sit uation in the Province of Saraar. What was once one of the most unruly and bel llgercnt of the provinces Is now as quiet and peaceful as this big city of yours. The natives are becoming prosperous un lder the Industry which has been fostered there, and they have a ready market for their rice and hemp." General Chaffee reported Mrs. Chaffee's heath greatly Improved, and stated that she had almost fully recovered from the prostration following her awful expert ence during the typhoon. General Chaffee and party were waited upon this evening by William H. Harper, representing the Union League Club, of Chicago, and formally Invited by that gentleman to be the guests of the club during their stay In Chicago. Mr. -Harper, acting also for the Grand Army Hall and Memorial Association, of Illinois, ten dered the General, an invitation to be the guest of the association at. a public re ception in his honor.

Mr. Harper has arranged for General Chaffee and party to go to Chicago over the Southern Pacific; the Union Pacific and the Chicago & Northwestern Rail roads: The patty will leave here at 6 oclQcJc,pn;T.Uj!ny evening in the special carii'clfr Vfcc'resldent McCullough, of the'Cliicagb-&'Northwestern road.

Assistance. CHICAGO. Nov. 10. According to a statement made oda,' by Grand Master Hawley, of the Switchmen's Union of North America, there will be no strike of switchmen in Chicago. Officials of the Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen, how ever, scout the Idea that Mr. Hawley's organization figures In the situation, and say the switchmen who are members of their organization are strong enough to enforce demands made by them upon' the railroad companies entering Chicago. It was learned todiy that the Chicago Great Western, the Chicago Terminal Transfer and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Rail roads had entered into agreements with the swtichmcn's union by which that or ganization accepts the increase of cents an hour for switchmen and Z cents an hour for foremen, which his been offered by the railroad , managers. It vras also learned that the Illinois Central and Reck Island Companies were nego tiating with the switchmen's union. Grand Master Hawley, of the switch men s union, aeciarea nis organization hid a membership .of 1700 in Chicago, and asserted that the Brotherhood, of Rail way Trainmen would not call a strike of switchmen If -they so desired. He said his organization had secured an increase of 10 per cent In tne Northwest, and that the scale would be recognized, by switch men throughout the country. He further declared that the demands made by the brotherhood had been prompted by jeal ousy md could not be recognized. THAIXMEX'S STRIKE LIKELY..

SUPREME IJnT SO -DECIDES 4 Testimony In Murder Case State Bar Back of Action. ... . SALEM, Nov. 10. (Special.) The Su preme Court today handed down a decision- disbarring Henry St. Rayner, a well-known Portland attorney. St. Ray ner was attorney for Frank McDanicl, the slayer of ClaIre Fitch. It was charged that after the case was tried he secured" the copy of the typewritten testimony and procured changes to be made wlilch would be advantageous to his client. The changes were discovered, charges were preferred by the grievance committee of the State Bar Association, and, upon trial, the Supreme Court finds against him. Chief Justice F. A. Moore wrote the opinion of the court, closing with this conclusion: "We believe a careful examination of the testimony discloses that St. Rayner Intentionally caused these two sheets to be changed in the interest of his client, that he might thereby secure a reversal of the judgment in this court. We think the evidence ia conducive that lie sought to mislead the court by the false state ment of fact brought about by the change which he .sought to accomplish, and, this being so, we think the punishment merits his disbarment, and It Is so ordered.". Substituted A'eiv Cnrlion. The opinion is quite exhaustive, setting forth the evidence quite fully. It appears tliat at the McDaniel trial In March, 19C0. the testimony was taken by" Miss Lulu Morden, the official stenographer, who, by order of the .court, prepared and de livered to St. Rayner, for the purpose of preparing a bill of exceptions, a tran script of the testimony of such witnesses as he deemed necessary, including that of D. M. McLauchlan, Chief of Police of Portland. Mk3 Morden retained a carbon copy of the typewritten testimony, -which x she delivered to St. Rayner.

On the trial of the case. Morse denied making such a statement, and it was this testimony of Chief McLauchlan that was missing. After making excerpts from the testi mony St. Rayner returned it to MI5& Morden, having first had two sheets of the testimony rewritten and omitting that portion of McLauchlan's testimony just referred to. The evidence in the disbarment proceed- ing shows that while he had the transcript in his possession St. Rayner asked Mis. Mary Cavanaugh, a stenographer, tc make conies of two pages thereof. Not navmg mc proper KInu oi paper sne Dor- rowed some of Miss Morden, and also bor rowed "a sheet of black carbon paper. She commenced copying the sheets sub mitted to her, using a purple ribbon-on her typewriter. After she had written a few lines, St. Rayner, taking up thft pheets, dictated what purported to be a part of McLauchlan's testimony, telling her to make the same spacing and to "com mence and finish each line with the same word and syllable as in the original. Miss Cavanaugh having attempted to follow his directions, was unable to rPnrnr? upon two sheets of paper the testimony to be copied, and an examination of her, work having disclosed that the ribbon she was using did not correspond in color "with that used by Miss Morden in tran scribing the testimony, she borrowed a typewriter having a black ribbon, with which machine she attempted to maka other copies, when It was also ascertained j that the ribbon she was" then using was too new, In consequence of whlth the con trast between her work-.and that of Mlsj i Morden was very noticeable, and to change this striking difference Miss Cav anaugh went to a typewriter supply house nnd 'secured an bid black ribbon, which bIih used on her typewriter. St. Rayner, after the first effort to -make copies of the sheets of McLauchlan's testimony, remained In a room opening out of the I office occupied by Miss Cavanaugh until she had made several copies, when, tak ing the last produced to his own office, he corrected the sheets and, having returned- them, Miss Cavanaugh made final copies which were inserted in the original transcript in the place of the two sheets taken out. Stenographer Makes Discover)'. . Miss Cavanaugh .returned to Miss Mor den's office the "black .carbon paper she had' borrowed, and then It was discov ered that the caibon sheet had Impressed upon it the name of McLauchlan. Hold ing the paper to the light. It was ascer tained that a part of tho testimony of that witness had evidently been repro duced, thereon. Miss Morden took the carbon sheet and her copy of the original transcript to District Attorney Chamber lain, and Mr. Chamberlain Immediately called Mr. St. Rayner to his office. Cham- r bcrlaln called attention to the changes that had been made, but St. Rayner said he could not understand what he was driving at. Chamberlain explained two or three times, and then asked St. Rayner whether any changes had been made in the transcript, to which he replied in the negative, and seemed very much offended. When It was shown that changes had been made, St. Rayner said that he re membered the I circumstances; that two sheets were caught in the lock of his roll-top desk and were torn, and that he had "them copied. When his attention was called to the fact that a portion of the testimony had been omitted, he eald that it had been done inadvertently, for he relied upon the admission of that testimony as error upon the part of the court. St. Rayner's testimony was that the sheets were torn, and he had copies made, but did not recollect that he objected to Miss Cavanaugh using a purple ribbon or a fresh ribbon. He did not call tho District Attorney's attention to the mat ter because he did not consider it im portant. St. Rayner also contended that he had had a dispute with Miss Morden regarding her notes on the testimony, and that she bore an 111 will toward him: ! thnt sho hnrl In hrr fmnlnv a vniinp. mnn ; taking lessons In stenography, and that J the carbon sheet may have been used bj him. I Tnc court holds that It Is not neces- LU limuigu in speculation as a memoo impressions may have been made on the carbon "paper. The opinion rays: "We believe the testimony conclusively shows that this sheet of paper was bor- ' rowed from Miss Morden's office by Miss t vlv'liau6" LVi ",4; yutmtij ai jua.-ti:ii; ' mL?XJSS. ted was material, and that the omissions were made with St. Rayner's knowledge. In view of which findings, the court reaches the conclusion quoted above and orders that St. Rayner be disbarred.

Newell." of the Geologlca' Survey, in. response t5 inquiries of The Oregonlan r correspondent as to-the Government's In tention' of taking up work in -Oregon un der the new Irrigation law, and the pos sibility of conflict between such Govern ment work and contracts undertaken un der the Carey act, dictated the followlqg statement: "Under the act 'approved June 17..-1902. examinations and surveys are to be. made In Oregon, to be followed by the location and construction of works wherever found feasible for the reclamation of arid lands. It is not proposed to interfere with pri vate enterprise nor with state reclama tion under the Carey act! "If the state prefers tpdo the. work it self, no objection canjfie made. On tho other hand, if the sttite does not utilize the opportunities, it d probable that works will be constructed under the law of June 17. "It Is understood that .the state has al ready entered -into contracts, under the Carey act, and It Is not desired In any wny to encourage repudiation of any existing obligations; "Where such obligations do not exist, and there are opportunities for "reclaiming lands, disposing of: these to iactual settigjg4p small tracts and refund ing the cost to the Treasury, this wtu un questionably be done. "No preference or partiality Is enter tained toward projects in any part of the arid West, the only consideration being practicability, case of early completion, the maximum number of new homes cre ated and prompt return of the cost, to be used again in the reclamation fund. "The Irrigation Association can facili tate matters by making clearly known the provisions of the law of June 17, discuss ing the various projects which may be taken up under that law, making a list of these and arranging them ln the order of their importance to the state. It is be lieved that such a list would be advan tageous as indicating the desires of tha people. "The primary considerations In such a list should be those of reclaiming vacant public land of such character as to afford prosperous homes to the greatest number of people. No merely sentimental ideas should have weight, nor should matters of merely local concern, or which can bet ter be accomplished by private enterprise, be brought forward as the choice of the business men of Oregon." (Mr. Newell's reference to the state's doing the work Itself touches upon works under the Carey act. Under that law the General Government gives the state 1.000. C00 acres of arid land upon condition that It reclaim the land to cultivation. Pro ceeding under this law and the state stat ute accepting Its provisions, the state en ters into contract with third parties for the construction of the reclamation works. But that contract Is entirely between the state and the third party, the Government .having nothing to do with that part of the transaction. The Washinnton authorities state, as to whether they are of the. char acter defined in the law, and they also pars -upon the sufficiency of the Irrigation works planned to reclaim the land select ed. The State Land Board has already signed contracts for the Irrigation enter prises now under way in the Deschutes Valley. t Now the matter la before the In terior Department, and a special agent is In the field to determine whether the land selected is of the character that will give It to the state for reclamation under the Carey act. If the land be found properly selected, then the sufficiency of the Irrigation works planned will be con sidered. But the Government knows only the state In this matter: the state alone deals with the contractor.) MASCAGNI IS RELEASED. Fn.ro.onn Italian Composer leased on S?IOOO Bonds. Io Rc BOSTON, Nov. 10.
