ited to Carey Law.
OREGONIAN NEWS EUREAU, Wash
ington, "Nov. 13. The report of Inspector
Greene to the Secretary of Interior on tho
lands included within the state selection
under the Carey act, -which are' embraced
in the contract with the Pilot Butte De
velopment Company, has been received,
but Is held as confidential. There is an in
timation that Greene reports the lands to
be not arid, and, therefore, not subject to
selection under the Carey act Before
forwarding his report to the department
Greene stated that he was reporting
against the Pilot Butte Company.
An adverse report, holding that this en
tire selection is nonarid" land, will lead
to considerable discussion in the depart
ment, as Hydrographer Newell, of the
Geological Survey, who visited this coun
try Summer before last, considers it most
arid, and thinks the Deschutes region Is
in great need of irrigation. Furthermore,
If Greene should show the land to be
nonarid, the question will be raised,
Will the General Government' be justified
In reclaiming a region which is capable
of producing crops without artificial ap
plication of water?v
The Pilot Butte Company has acquired
rights outside of the Carey act, both
rights of way under the right-of-way act,
and water rights under state law. If Its
contract with thestate should be nullified
the company would still possess the right
to construct Its canals over Its rights
of way and to dispose of water to settlers
who must then acquire adjoining lands
under the homestead law.
The claim ia made before the depart
ment that the Pilot Butte Company is
prepared to begin construction of ita sys
tem at once if the state contract shall
be approved. If. on the other hand, the
contract be revoked or rejected, the Gov
ernment would be forced to consume at
least two years in procuring by condem
nation the rights of this company0and
Government work on the Upper Deschutes
would be delayed just, that long.
Several officials who have given special
attention to this case during the present
week have concluded that the best inter
ests of the state will be subserved if the
state does not attempt to interfere with
works undertaken under the Carey law,
hut defers to the opinion of the people as
to which other site is moat desirable for
Government reclamation. It Is feared
that If local politics become deeply In
volved in the pending controversy all
reclamation under both tho Carey act and
the general law will be delayed for years
to come.
FAREWELL BANQUET TO WU
Chinese Minister Guest of Honor in
Sew York.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13. Wu Ting Fang,
the retiring Chinese Minister, was the
guest of honor of the Silk Association of
America and the American Asiatic As
sociation, at a banquet given at Delmon
ico's, tonight. The guests included Mayor
Low; C. N. Eilssand J. J. Hill. A. tele
gram of regret was read from Secretary
Hay, in which he said:
"I should have been glad to bring my
sincere tribute of respect and esteem of
Mr. Wu Ting Fang. My constant asso
ciation with him for several years has
given me a high appreciation of his great
ability and his open-minded statesman
ship." President Roosevelt sent the following
dispatch from Memphis:
"Pray accept my best wishes for your
association, and convey to the Minister
of China the assurance of my high es
teem, and my appreciation of what he
has done toward securing cordial under
standing and good will between the two
countries."
Responding to the toast, "Tho "Health
of the Guest of the Evening," the Chinese
Minister said in part, efter expressing
thanks for the manner of his introduc
tion: "As a Minister of China to this coun
try, when anything happens concerning
both countries which it Is my business to
lay before the State Department. I have
but one plain duty to do, to put it before
the proper authority in an open -and can
did way.
"I have tho satisfaction of saying, on
the eve of my departure from this coun
try, that I have, to a certain extent, ful
filled my duty to the satisfaction of my
conscience, and I am pleased to observe
it has met the approval of the people .of
this country.
"The United States arid China," said
Mr. Wu, "are practically neighbors. So
whatever takes place in China cannot be
a matter of indifference to the people of
this great country. When the Pacific
cable is finished it will unite the oldest
nation on earth with the newest. When
the Isthmian canal is completed, it will
shorten the route to China by thousands
of miles from New York to Shanghai.
With your energy and enterprising spirit
there is no xeason why your trade with
China, should h6t surpass that which
you have with Great Britain. The trade
with China "is only in its Infancy.
"As you "know said Mr. Wu In con
clusion,"! am leaving this country to re
turn to my home" to accept a higher posi
tion which has been graciously conferred
upon me by the Emperor. It Is too early
for me to say what I shall be able to do.
But I assure you that In my new posi
tion, whenever I can do anything for the
promotion of trade between tfiese two
countries, you may depend upon It I shall
not spare pains to promote the object."
J. J. Hill, president of the Great North
ern,RaIIroad, spoke on the development of
America and China commensurate with
their commerce, and paid high tribute to
Wu Ting Fang, who, he said, had broken
down the barrier of prejudice and done'
much to advance the relations of this
country with China. In conclusion Mr.
Hill saidr
"Open the door. Don't say no. If tho
Chinamen seeking an education In this
country thlnks It wise to get lis educa
tion here, he won't be any the less friend
ly to us. Don't drive him out. Let him
be welcome. I would like 000 or 2000
Chinamen a year to come to this coun
try. They don't do any harm. They
won't drive you or anybody out."
Speeches were also made by Mayor Low
and others.

honor of the representatives of foreign
commercial bedko who came to America
to attend the dedication of the New York
Chamber of Commerce, and who arrived in
Washington from the metropolis for a

Vindicated in Elections.
"The election Is now past, and those who
expected to gain political advantage by
assailing the Army have failed in their
object, and the results have buried that
question forever as a political one. and I
feel now that I can speak the truth about
our soldiers without being accused of hav
ing political bias or defending them for
political effect. Taking Into consideration
the circumstances surrounding them, our
j soldiers

j markably well, better than any other na-

"If it had not been for. the Intense de
sire of the American people to carry on an,
easy, persuasive war with the Filipinos.,
and the good faith of the American officers
to carry out that desire, the Filipino: war
would have ended In much less time.'-'
Filipinos Knew No War Laws.
General Young said the Filipino Generals
did not. know anything about the laws of
war, but that the American, soldiers, n
good ftdth, tried to carry out such laws as
are recognized by civilized nations with a
half-civilized foe. There were isolated cases
where officers exceeded their authority
and where laws were violated, but viola
tions of laws were committed all over the.
United States every day. He referred to
the "barbarities" Inflicted upon the sol
diers by the Filipinos, and said he thought
lt was a perfect wonder that there were
so few violations of war by the volunteer
troops. He defended the soldiers from
making use of churches for hospitals and
quarters, and said that in many towns
church'es afforded the only shelter for foot
sore and weary troops. -He said the burn
ing of -houses and supplies was one of tho
oldest weapons and was used in all wars,
civilized and uncivilized. He said that up
t& the time of the massacre of the Amer
ican soldiers in Samar -ho believed the
Filipinos had burned about 10 times as
much a the Americans. He jdeclared that
there had been few cases of looting, and
added:
"Since the knowledge became general of
the very extensive looting and pillaging by
the allied powers in China, not much has
been said about the looting in the Philip"
pines. It is not known what defense or
excuse the allied powers have for permit-
ting the extensive looting and pillaging on
their, march to Pekirf, unless they should
say that they were not at war with China.
In that case their soldiers can be acquit
ted of the charge of looting and their loot
ing becomes theft or robbery. I am proud
to say that the American Army officers
and soldiers have been universally credited
with exercising great care over the rights
of property in China."
Shaw on Trade Relntions.
Secretary Shaw spoke of "Trade Rela
tions" as follows:
"I thank my God that tho day has come
when nations shall no .longer war without
cause; when great navies are no longer
looked upon as threatening the peace of
the world; and when armaments and for
tifications have lost much of their terror.
"The United "States was a larger con
sumer of foreign products during the last
fiscal year than ever in its history. The
uhlvenial recognition, of the great truth
that the good fortune of any one class of
Individuals ever redounds to the advant
age of all.jlnd the prosperity of the peo
ple of any one country ever benefits all
nations, would be of Inestimable ad
vantage to the world. But, If this prin
ciple shall ever be universally recognized,
commerce must be the schoolmaster, and
chambers of commerce kindergartens of
Instruction.
"I have met within the last few days
distinguished representatives of foreign
champ;rs of -commerce and listened to elo
quent speeches from their Hps in the cur
rent language of this country. In some
instances, this was not their mother
tongue, but they found it to their com
mercial advantage to educate themselves
therein. I do not know that the miracle
of Babel will ever be reversed, but If lt
shall be, the convenience of commerce,
and not the fear of floods, Tvill be the oc
casion. I do not know: that the world
will over adopt uniform standards of
weights and measures, but I am convinced
that such a course would be an advantage
to commerce, and if this ever shall be
accomplished, the metric system, for
which we acknowledge Indebtedness to
nations represented here tonight, will, of
necessity, afford the solution. It Is evi
dent that all values will soon be measured
in gold. In fact, this is already done in
ternationally, and governments that pro
vide anything else than the gold standard
for local use" Impose a tax upon every
International transaction sufficient to bar
their people from competition In the
world's commerce.
"I may be dreaming when I suggest
that some time, perhaps far off, perhaps
nearer than we think, the prices current
of the world will be written In a common
language, and. in uniform measures of.
quantity and denominations" of money;
but, if so, my excuse for the vision shall
be that more than one, dream of yester
day is paying dividends today.
"The commercial struggle in the years
that shall follow must not be for commer
cial supremacy. Supremacy must not be
sought for supremacy's sake. A senti
ment more worthy of world peoples I pre
fer this term to 'world powers' would bo.
the recognition of debtorshlp to the wprld.
In recognition of blessings incident to a
civilization planted by previous genera
tions, encouraged, nuturcd and advanced
by commerce, let the swiftest wings of
trade carry the ripened seed- of modern
ideas to all lands, under all skies, for the
blessing and the advancement of all peo
ples." After Secretary Shaw had concluded, the
evening was given over to informal
speech-making, and there were a number
of felicitous responses. Ambassador Cam
bon proposed a toast to the President
of the United States, which wa3 drunk
standing. After this a toast was pro
posed to the rulers of the foreign coun
tries represented at the banquet, to which
responses were made by AmbassadorCam
bon. Ambassador Herbert and Prince
Henry of Plcss. They all contained cordi
al references to President Roosevelt, and
the good feeling existing between the
United States and the countries the
speakers represented, as well as to the
kindly 'observations made by the Presi
dent In his speech at the banquet to the
visitors in New York City Tuesday night.
The chairman then called In succession
on Admiral Dewey, General Corbin, Sir
Albert Rollltt and J. H. Henderson.
Tomorrow the visitors will go to Mount
Vernon and other places of Interest in
Washington, and will leave the city late
in the afternoon.

In a trice a chain is passed
around one hind leg and hooked to a pul
ley that Is at once hauled nip to a wheel
running on a narrow track extending
down the long room. In this way the
animal is suspended, head downward, and
is started on a trolley trip that extends
entirely around the room and beyond to
other departments of tho establishment.
The first halt Is made before a man
armed with a long knife, who, by a single
thrust, slits the animal's throat. Tho
blood that gushes out runs Into a gutter
that conducts lt into a building, where lt
is utilized in the making of fertilizers.
From this point the carcass, still mov
ing along the trolley track, passes
through the hands of many men, each one i
of whom performs some one act in tho 1
process of prepnrlng It for market. It is 1
cut open, cleaned, skinned, .the head ahd '

part cf thQ process, men with cleavers '
separate the body along the backbone Into
two "sides." The whole process of kill-
ing, skinning and dressing, up to this
point, has taken perhaps 20 minutes,1 dur-
ing which time the carcass has passed
through the hands of at least 20 men. The

Bad Spelling. j
New York Sun. t
Only CC out of 141 freshmen at the North- !
western University were able to pass an I
examination in spelling. They were test-
cd with ordinary words; not with difficult
and perplexing ones; and the test was too '
much for most of them. Probably simi- ;
Iar examinations at almost any American '
university would show substantially the
same results. Spelling is not an accom- '
