WE WERE WORSTED
King Oscar Favors Germany
in Everything.
FULL EXTENT IS HADE KNOWN
British and Americans Had Jfo Right,
In Arbitrators Vie-irs, to Protect
Life and Property or Uphold
Sanioan Court. .
"WASHINGTON, "D. C. Nov. 17. By
previous arrangement between the prin
cipals, there -was today published simul
taneously In Washington, London and
Berlin the full text of the decision given
by his majesty. King Oscar II., as arbi
trator between "the three countries
named, of certain claims owing to mili
tary operations conducted In Samoa In
the year 1S29. The decision is long, and
abounds In whereases and conclusions,
and In substance It has been announced
heretofore in the cable dispatches from
Stockholm. The preceding publication,
however, did not convey to the officials
here a full realization of the- complete
victory won by Germany in this arbitra
tion, for it appears that on every point
the arbitrator adopted the most extreme
Gorman view. In opposition to Great
Britain and the United States.
The arbitration grew out of claims by
Germans or British subjects or Ameri
can citizens for compensation on ac
count of losses they alleged they had
suffered in consequence of unwarranted
military action on the part of the Ger
man, British or American officers In
Samoa, between the 1st of January, 1593,
and the 13th of May following. The ques
tion really at issue was whether or not
the -British and United States govern
ments should be considered responsible
for the losses.
The arbitrator recites that the United
States ship Philadelphia and the British
steamers Porpoise and Royalist, on March
13, 1899, opened fire across the town of
Apia, Samoa, directing the same against
the forces of High Chief Mataafa; that
the same vessels brought the newly
appointed king of Samoa, Malletoa, and
1:1s forces to Mullnuu Point and supplied
them with arms and ammunition for the
ensuing struggle against Mataafa. In an
swer to the British and American claims
that, under the treaty of Berlin, any one
of the signatory powers was fully author
ized to enforce the decision of the Chief
Justice of Samoa, declaring Malletoa
Iiihg, the arbitrator says:
"We have found nothing in the said
general act, or any subsequent agreement,
which authorizes one of the signatory
powers, or a majority of them, to take
action to enforce the conditions of the
act or to make the decisions of the Chief
Justice binding on the part of the United
States."
It is held that the British-American
military action "has the character of a
serious control over the Samoan Islands
and the government thereof," which was
prohibited by articles of the general act.
The arbitrator insists that the Berlin
conference aimed to establish a principle
that In their dealings with Samoa the
powers could proceed only by common ac
cord, and that as the consular representa
tives of the three powers by proclamation
had recognized the provisional govern
ment of Mataafa, the powers themselves
were bound, on principles of Interna
tional good faith; to maintain the situa
tion until by common accord they desired
to change it. The action of the British
American authorities, "tending to over
throw the provisional government estab
lished," it is held, ' was contrary to the
aforesaid obligation, and cannot be Justi
fied either on the plea of Validity ab
Initio of the said provision of the govern
ment or its establishment under a species
of a force majeure.
, Touching the British-American com
plaint against the German consul for his
refusal to sustain the decision of the
Chief Justice, the arbitrator holds that
"It cannot be considered to have been the
duty of the German consul to take part
in the Issuance of said proclamation, and
it has not been proved that, with regard
to said decision, any steps taken by him
were contrary to the general act, and
therefore no responsibility attaches for
the attitude taken by him in this re
spect." The arbitrator meets the British-Ameri
can contention that their military action
was warranted because necessary for the
protection of lives and properly which it
was their duty to safeguard, bv the flat
statement that "we have found nothing
in the evidence before us to show that
the general condition of affairs was such
as to render the military action necessarv
tor the protection of lives and property "
and then goes on to show that Mataafa
never intended to cross the bav at that
time and make an attack on the consul
ates, and, on account of the state of the
tide, could not possibly have done so at
that time.
Continuing, the decision recites that
Malletoa had baen completely defeated
before the arrival of the Philadelphia, but
that the United States admiral and Brit
ish authorities brought back his warriors
and armed and provisioned them, glvlnjr
them ammunition, which, under the
treaty, should have been issued only at

narael the bringing back of the Tualleto
ans and the distribution to them of arms
and ammunition, the bombardment, the
military operations on shore and the ston
page of the street traffic, cannot be con

that, therefore, his Brittanic majesty's
government and the United States govern
ment are responsible, "under the conven
tion of the 7th of November. 1S99 for

question as to the extent to which the

BATTLE OFF AGUA DULCE
Colombia Troop and Insurgents
Hnve Xaval Engagement.
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Nov 17 Ac
cording to news reaching here through
Colombian revolutionary sources, a battle
has taken place between the Cdlomblan
Bovernment and the. Insurgent forces at
Agua Dulce. The government's gunboats
Chucito and Bogota were on their way
hither to take over and convey back with
4hem the war vessel Poas. which formerly
belonged to Costa Rica, and was pur
chased by the Colombian government at
its sale by auction early In September
The Bogota, according to these reports Is
r now on her way back to Panama In a
disabled condition, as a result of the en
gagement, five officers and 15 of her crew
being said to have been killed.
It appears that the sentence of death
-passed on the revolutionary General
Uribe-Urlbe, who recently capitulated to
She government forces, was not carried
'tot because General Perdorno observed
that General Herrera. of the revolutionary
army, has 14 government Generals as pris
oners, and he might avenge the death of
Uribe-Uribe'on them.
(With regard to the foregoing report of
an engagement at Agua Dulce, a dispatch
from Panama, November 12, gives an ac
count of a fight between the Bogota,
formerly the Jessie Banning, of San
Francisco, and manned by an American
crew and two revolutionary schooners.
.Of the latter, one was .captured by the
Bogota and the other burned, while It
was calculated that from 40 to 50 rebels
were .killed. The Bogota's armorer was
killed, and three others of the crew were
wounded.)
" Troops Rcoccupy Cumnna.
CARACAS, Nov. 17. A tugboat has ar
rived at La Guayra from Carupano, bring
ing the news that on Saturday the gov
ernment troops under the command , of
General VuletinI attacked and rcoccupied,
almost without fighting, the seaport of
Cumana, which has been in the hands
of the Insurgents. The Dutch Governor
of Curacao has notified General Matos,
who reached that Island November 13,
that he must observe a strictly neutral
attitude and conduct, otherwise he will
be asked to leave Curacao. General Matos
has shut himself up in his house at Wll
lemstaM with his family; not wishing to be
seen.
Government Asks Banks for. Aid.
LA PAZ, Bolivia, Nov. 17. Congress has
asked the banks of issue notes repre
senting 120 per cent of their capital, in
order to assist the government in the
work of national defense. It has not been
decided that President Pando and War
Minister Montes will accompany the ex
pedition to Acre. Vice-President Velasco
refuses either to go with the expedition or
resign his post. Several members of Con
gress have enrolled themselves in the ex
peditionary forces.

pathy. He had found In her his "best
and truest counselor."
WAR ON ANKENY.
(Continued from First Pago.)
only necessary briefly to recall the events
which led up to the Senatorial crisis of
1S09 and the sensational meeting of the
Republican Legislative caucus at Olym-.
pia, immediately following, the feature of
which- was the bolt of the Ankeny men
In the caucus. There were four candi
dates for Senator, namely, Levi Ankeny,
who started with 8 votes; T. J. Humes,
of Seattle, who finally reached 22 votes;
John L. Wilson, whose highest vote was
26, and A. G. "Foster, whb had managed to
muster 27 votes just before the fight ended
by his alliance with Wilson.
Humes threw his strength to Ankeny
the day before the last caucus. The next
day, January 31, Wilson withdrew, after
urging his followers to go to Foster. A
caucus agreement was quickly circulated
among the Wilson and Foster men, re
ceiving 49 signatures. Palmer and Eames,
Wilson men, of King, agreed verbally to
vote for the Tacoma candidate, making
51. To nominate, it was necessary to
have ES votes. These were obtained dur
ing the afternoon and evening. Including
two supposedly loyal and true Ankeny
men Field, of Okanogan, and Gosc, of
Walla Walla.
When the caucus met the Ankeny men
made a' desperate Effort to break the
force of the combination, but in vain.
Jhen. led by Speaker Gule and Senator
Wiishire. of King, the Ankeny men with
drew from the caucus. There remained,
however, 5S Republicans, Just enough to
nominate, and Foster was made Senator.
Whatever lingering hope John L. Wil
son might have entertained that Senator
Foster would make good his promise
was dispelled within a few months after
the Tacoma man took his seat at Wash
ington. The Wilson appointees in Fed
eral positions In Washington were al
lowed to hold their offices until the ex
piration of their terms, but one by one
they were supplanted by men favorable
to Ankenv. with the exception of Collect
or of Customs Ide, whose appointment.
was made over the protest or benator
Fester. The appointment of Charles B.
Hopkins as United States Marshal, cred
ited at the time to the Influence of Wil
son, was made personally by Foster, and
Hopkins is today an antl-WHson man to
such an extent as he takes an Interest
in senatorial politics. To be sure, this
Interest is very small, Mr. Hopkins being
more concerned as .to the senatorial elec
tion two years hence, when Mr. Foster
will aspire to succeed himself.
Moreover. Mr. Foster and his former
managers, including B. S. Grosscup, are
now among Mr. Ankeny's most active and
powerful followers. It is to be presumed
that they selected the legislative delega
tion in Pierce county, with the exception
of three hold-over senators, Stanton War-
burton, Lincoln Davis and Carey Stewart.
Davis' is an Ankeny man, but Stewart
and "Warburton are not believed to be
pledged, as between Ankeny and Wilson.
Warburton is an avowed supporter of
Harold Preston, of Seattle.
The campaign opened -yesterday by the
Ledger in Wilson's behalf will be watched
with much interest by politicians all over
the state. Mr. Ankeny's managers here
claim that Wilson will not get a single
vote from Pierce county. This, on the
face of things. Is approximately true, but
there is no telling what the succeeding
weeks of the ante-sssslon campaign will
bring forth. It is reasonably certain that
Senator Warburton will never vote lor
Ankeny. Moreover, it 1b well known and
understood that Congressman Cushman is
opposed to Ankeny, and will throw the
weight of his influence in Pierce county
against the Walla Walla candidate and
in favor of Preston or Wilson. Cushman,
with the aid of his friends in Pierce
county, delivered the majority of the
county delegation to the McBridc-Preslon
combination In the Republican state con
vention here last September. This ac
tion on Cushman's part was perfectly
consistent, as he and Foster have not
been on amicable terms for a very long
time, and Foster s Influence was cast
against McBrlde and his railroad com
mission hobby. What Cushman will do
to prevent the-rtellvery of the I-lerco
county legislative delegation to Ankeny
remains yet to be seen.
Out of all this a number of political
surprises may grow. The Foster men
will naturally oppose the election of
Preston, of King, as that would bo
mehacefb" Foster's" candidacy two yczfs
hence. However, this condition of af
fairs has brought up the scheme suggest
ed nearly four years ago, for' the forma
tion of an offensive and defensive alli
ance between King and Pierce counties.
These counties, working together, could
undoubtedly control Republican politics in
Washington and secure the election and
retention of two senators from Western
Washington. No combination possible
among the smaller counties could break
the King-Pierce combination. Such a
combination. If made before the senatorial
fight next January, would result In- the
elimination of either Congressman Cush
man or Congressman Humphrey, of King,
with the chances that the latter, being
the weaker man, would retire.

BOND FOR DREDGE LEASE
UPOX ITS APPROVAL WORIC WIIiL
V GO FORWARD.
May Not Be Necessary for the Gov
ernment to Bnild Machine for
These .Rivers.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Nov. 17. The Port of Portland will
be required to give bond before the Sec
retary of War will approve the con'ract re
cently made for the lease of one of its
dredges for use on the Columbia and Wil
lamette below Portland. When the con
tract recently made between the Port of
Portland Commission and Captain Langfltt
wpm received here it was referred to the
Judge -Advocate-General, who has just rec
ommended that a bond be procured to free
tfce Government from liability fcr any ex
penses incurred in the operation of the
dredge. Under this contract the Govern
ment can lcao cither dredge by paying
$155 per day for the old one or $235 per day
for the new dredge Columbia. The Port
will be expected to furnish the crew and
fuel, and bear all expenses of operation.
The bond Is required as an extra precau
tion, such as is frequently required In Gov
ernment contracts. The department ex
pects the bond will be readily furnished.
When at hand, the contract will be ap
proved and expenditures can be com
menced under the appropriation of $250,000
made last session.
Now that the Government has the option
cf operating a dredge of the Port of Port
land, it Id thought by some engineers that
rt will be unnecessary to ask for future
appropriations for building a Government
dredge for the river below Portland.
Remodeling the Grant.
The engineers' ofilce has about completed
plans for remodeling the transport Grant
into a sea dredge for uoa in cutting a tem
porary channel across the bar at the
mouth of the Columbia River. These plans
will soon be widely advertised, but the
work will undoubtedly be done at San
Francisco, where the Grant now lies.
To Meet Again in Ncvr Yorlc.
The board of engineer officers which
visited the mouth of the Columbia some
time ago, and which, is to report upon
the plan best suited to providing and
maintaining a deep-water channel acrocs
the bar at the mouth of the river, Is
to resume Its sessions at New York
December 2. It is expected that at
this meeting the board will finally con
sider the various questions at issue and
decide upon the plan to be recommended
no most feasible. Their report will then
be drawn by one member of the board
for submission to the Secretary of War.
It is hardly expected that the board's
report will be completed and ready for
submission before the first of the year.
LOSSES ON SILVER.
Retards Progress in Philippines
Lower Tnrilt Favored.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. The report of
the Philippine Commission will not reach
Washington for a month, but a synopsis
of it has been cabled to the War Depart
ment for Secretary Root to use in his
annual report. This brief abstract will
not be made public until the Secretary's
report Is published. It is known, how
ever, that the commission will mako
strong recommendations regarding the
currency, which is in a deplorable state.
The continued depreciation of- the silver
currency until it is worth 52 50 for $1 in
gold has caused a great los3 to the Phil
ippine government, estimated at $1,000,000
during the past six months. The com
mission believes that the currency should
be established on a gold basis, as the only
safe and sure way in which the financial
affairs of the islands can be put in order.
Governor Taft has been in favor of fur
ther tariff concessions to the Philippines,
and it Is believed that he will recommend
that the rate, which Is now 75 per cent
of the DIngley rale, should be made 25
per cent, In order to encourage commerce
between the islands and the United States.
Governor Taft has also been In favor of a
modification of the Chinese exclusion laws
as applied to the Philippines, and believes
that the commisslonu should be allowed
discretion In the matter of admitting Chi
nese labor. There is also reason to believe
that the commission thinks, greater lati
tude should be permitted In the matter of
franchises, as a grant of 5000 acres to one
concern is not sufficient to Induce capital
In large amounts to engage in the devel
opment in the Islands.

OPINIONS AREN'T FACTS
'AND THEY WON'T .JUSTIFY CLASS
ING AS FRAUDS.
The Idea of Mental Control Over
Physical Ills May Be Dissemi
nated by Mail.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. Justice Peclt
ham, "of the United States Supreme Court, j
today delivered an opinion In the case of J
the American School of Magnetic Heal- j
ing vs. J. M. JIcAnulty, the latter being J
Postmaster at Nevada, Mo., wnere tne
school is located. The proceedings grew
out of a fraud order issued by the Post
office Department, prohibiting the Post
master from delivering mail addressed to
the school. The original bill asked for an
injunction to prohibit the Postmaster
from obeying this order. On trial In the
United States Circuit Court fcr the West
ern District of Missouri, the department's
order was sustained on a demurrer. To
day's opinion reversed that judgment, but
in delivering it Justice Peckham said
there was no intention of passing upon
the various constitutional objections set
out in the bill.
The action of the court was accom
panied by instructions to the lower court
to overrule the defendant's demurrer to J
the amended bill, with leave to answer
and to grant a temporary injunction as
applied for by complainants. The opinion
added:
"In overruling the demurrer we do not
mean to preclude the" defendant from
showing on trial. If he can, that the busi
ness of the complainant as In fact con
ducted amounts- to a violation of the stat
utes." Justices White and McKenna did not
concur In the opinion.
In reviewing the case Justice Peckham
quoted the plea of the Magnetic School
that one human mind may control another
treating disease, and said:
"One person may believe It of greater
efficacy than another, but surely It can
not be said It is a fraud for "one person
to contend that the mind has an effect
upon the body and its physical condition
greater than even a vast majority of in
telligent people might be willing to admit
or believe. Even Intelligent people may
and do differ among themselves as to the
extent of this mental effect. Because the
complainants might or ,dld claim to be
able to effect cures by refison of working
upon and affecting the mental powers of
the individual, and directing them toward
the accomplishment of a cure of the dis
ease under which he might be suffering,
who can say that It Is a fraud or false
pretense or promise within the meaning
of the statutes? How can any one lay
down the limit and say beyond doubt that
they arc frauds and false pretenses?
."The claims of ability to cure may be
vastly greater than most men would be
ready to admit, and yet those who might
derty the existence or virtue of the rem
edy would only differ in opinion from
those who assert it. There is no exact
standard or absolute truth by which to
prove the 'assertion false and a fraud."
Further on Justice Peckham said:
''Suppose a person should assert that by
the use, of electricity alone he could treat
diseases as efficaciously as the same here
tofore have been treated by 'regular phy
sicians. Would these statutes justify the
Postmaster-General, upon evidence satis
factory to him, to adjudge such claim to
be without foundation and then pronourtce
the person so claiming to be so guilty
of procuring by false or fraudulent pre
tenses the moneys of people sending him
money through the mails, and then to
prohibit the delivery of any letters to
him?"
The opinion says that many people do
not believe in vaccination and in homeop
athy, and asks whether on this account
vaccination is to be prohibited, and wheth
er homeopathic physicians are subject to
be proceeded nfjalnst by the Postmaster
GeneraJ, Justice Perkham concluded that

Did a First-Claws Business,
KANSAS CITY. Nov. 17. The business
done by Professor Weltmer, at Nevada,
Mo., before the Government interfered,
amounted to 500,000 a year, and caused
the Nevada postofllces to be 'raised from
the fourth to the firt class. All of the
letters received contained money. Judge
Phillips, in the United States District
Court in Kansas City, made the point
that so much mail required all the at
tention of the healero and left no time
for suggeytion and concentration of
thought on the sufferings of their cor
respondents. In April, 1901, Weltmer and hl3 part
ner, Joseph H. Kelly, were fined $1500 for
