WHAT OF TARIFF?
President Seeking View's of
Republicans.
CANNON' AGAINST REVISION
Roosevelt Thlnlcs Provision for Modi
fication Onsh to Be Mk'de at
Extra. Session Mitchell for
Philippine Free Trade-
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, 'Wash
ington, Nov. 51. President Roosevelt's
views are not definite regarding
what he shall say on the tariff question.
He Is going to consult Republicans of
prominence In both Houses before making
his recommendations. He will find diverse
views, especially if he Includes Western
men like Babcock among those to be
called in conference. At the same time
the weight of the advice will come from
Eastern Senators, and Representatives
against any" tariff "legislation, either at
the short session or during the next ses
sion of Congress.
An interview- published with Cannon
some time before Henderson declined to
run for Congress has been re-published
here. In It Cannon took very pronounced
views against any modification of the
tariff. In this Congress or the next. No
one has authority for stating he has
changed his views.
"Worlclns Around to a Compromise.
The tariff situation seems to be work
ing around to a compromise on the Presi
dent's commission scheme. Neither -. the
Senate finance commltteevnor the way3
and means committee desires a commis
sion which will appear to take the matter
of tariff out of their hands; and a com
mittee composed of men belonging to both
of those committees is now suggested as
a commission or joint committee of the
two Houses, to investigate the tariff situ
ation. This might be authorized at the
coming short session, and the commission
could draft a bill during the long 'recess.
But a committee composed cf the lead
ing members of these two committees
would take particular pains to see that
nothing was done towards advancing tar
iff legislation, and there is little hope for
tariff modification growing out of such a
commission.
The President believes that if the tariff
is to be modified, it ought to be done at
an extra session called next March. There
is a large element In the Republican party
that wants to prevent any modification
whatever, and will accept any kind of
compromise which will prevent such ac
tion. Nearly everybody In Congress is
very much opposed to an extra 'session,
as Senators and members regard it as a
great inconvenience to tome to Washing
ton save when they are actually obliged
to. It is not likely that the President
will deviate from his commission plan,
but it is not believed that he will take
a very strong position in favor of any
tariff changes at the present time.
FreeTrade With Philippines.
Senator Mitchell Is preparing to advo
cate absolute free trade between the
United States and the Philippines. The
Removal of existing duties, he says, is
the stimulus that our commerce with the
islands now needs, and would materially
assist in the development of the indus
tries of the istands. He says there is
nothing in the claim that American labor
would be injured by coming in competi
tion' with cheap labor of the Islands. N,or
shoufd.the claim that the islands need
thp revenue prevail. The stimulus it
trade through a free trade arrangement
would more than compensate for the ad
ditional, revenue derived from the tariff
collected. "The whole Pacific Coast is
united in this Idea," he added, "and it
will be urged In Congress."
PRESIDENT REACHES WASHINGTON
Plunges Into Accumulated Work
SeeHSome Senators.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-r-Pres!dent
Roosevelt arrived here this morning at S
o'clock over the Southern Railway. A
email crowd was at the station to wel
come hjb return. As he left the train he
shook hando with the engineer and fire
man and thanked them for the safe run
they had made. Thei President and Secre
tary Cortelyou were 'driven direct to the
White House.
Before 10 o'clock this morning the
President reaphed his 'office. He began
at once to dispose of a mass of business
which had accumulated . during his ab
sence. Prior to the meeting of the Cabi
net, which had been called for 11 o'clock,
the President found time to hold brief in
terviews with Senators Burrows, of Mich
igan; Scott, of West Virginia, and Lodge,
of Massachusetts. '
During the next four or five days, as
opportunity may offer, the President will
put the finishing touches upon his annual
message to Congress. It is understood
that the message will be sent to Congress
on the second .day of the approaching ses
elon, Tuesday, December 2,. owing to the
fact that deaths of members of both
houses have occurred during the recess.
which will necessitate an adjournment on
Monday. The document is almost com
pleted, but some points of It are yet to
ue revispd.
During the early days of next week the
President will consult on parts of his
message with Republican leaders in Con
gress.
CONSIDERED THE MESSAGE.
I
Panama Cannl Question Discussed
by the Cabinet. 4
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2L Every mem
ber of the Cabinet was present at today's
meeting. It was comparatively brief,
lasting only about an hour. At its con
clusion It was stated that no business of
serious consequence was transacted, al
though some subjects of importance
were considered briefly. Secretary Hay
brought with him some documents relat
ing to the status of the negotiations pend
ing with Colombia with respect to the
Panama Canal treaty. He reported the
status of the negotiations, and it is stated
the President will not be able to say In
his message that he Is ready to submit
to Congress a treaty with Colombia in
accordance with the Spooner act
Some portions of the President's forth
coming message to Congress were con
sidered, but as the" features of the docu
ment concerning which any division of
opinion might arise have not been pre
pared definitely and "will not be until the
President shall have had time further to
discuss them ' with the leaders in both
branches of Congress, little respecting
-the massage was accomplished.

gress is not long enough in which to edu

PEACE IN SIGHT.
(Continued from "First Page.)
lnous states, whore the operators have
state or district organizations which rec
ognize the United Mlnewcxers of Amer
ica. The proposed contract with each
company does not carry with It a recog
nition of the union and on that ground
It is not likely that the two parties will
be able to settle without resort to the
Arbitration Commission. It is not doubt
ed that whatever averment shall be
reached will be approved by the com
mission. The agreement, however, will
have to be one that will provide for a
reasonably permanent settlement. The In
structions given to the commissioners by
President Roosevelt when he handed the
case to them to settle are explicit. In
these instructions he said:
You will endeavor to establish the relation
between the employes and the wageworkers ia
the anthracite fields on a just and permanent
basis, and as far as possible to do away with"
any causes for the recurrence of such diffi
culties as those which you have been called la
to settle.
Testimony of the Day.
The examination of Dr. R. H.
Gibbons, of Scranton, was immed
iately rccumed when the Anthracite
Strike Commission met today. He
said that the occupation of a miner
subjects a man to. pleurisy, gout, neu
ralgia, asthma, bronchitis, sciatica, and
other diseases. He believed the day
would come when men will be subjected
to. medical examination before they un
dertake mining. Children, he said, who
have suffered from any form of disease
of the respiratory passage, bronchitis or
pneumonia, should never be permitted In
tne mines under the age of lo years, be
cause they should have a chance to elimi
nate the predisposing factor in the case
of so-called miners' asthma.
Dr. Gibbons then described the surface
Indications of miners' asthma, his testi
mony In this respect not differing essen
tially from that given by other expert
witnesses. On further -examination Dr.
Gibbons said he did not mean to be un
derstood as saying that miners form an
unhealthy class, but that they are de
bilitated and run down. He spoke of the
necessity for Improved ambulance service
at the different collieries.
The witness was cross-examined by
James H. Torrey, for the Delaware &
Hudson Company. In reply to a ques
tion Mr. Gibbons said he did not believe
there was an ambulance In the entire
coal region which had sterile blankets or
were themselves sterile.
"In fact," said the doctoj, "they are a
bunch of Infection. Every ambulance
carries death and disease to every un
fortunate miner who Is placed In it."
Dr. Gibbons was followed by Dr. Eu
gene J. Butler, a member of the Central
Poor Board of Luzerne County, who tes
tified that 70 per cent of those In one
of the poorhouses of Luzerne County were
miners, and that 40 per cent were crippled
by accidents In and about the mines.
Many of these, he said, had become in
sane through worry over their affliction.
A man who works a few years as a mln-v
er, he declared, is not fit for anything
else.
A. H. McClintock, representing the Le
high & Wilkesbarre Coal Company, cross
examined the witness, and asked If It was
not true that a large number of the pro
fessional men and merchants in Wilkes
barre were men whose fathers and grand
fathers had been employed in the mines.
"If that is so," the witness replied,
"the fathers and grandfathers were the
wise fellows who got out In time. They
were not mpn who worked for 20 or 25
years in the, mines." s
Dr. Butler was excused, and Rev. Dr.
Roberts was called to the stand, his ex-'
amlnatlon being conducted by Mr. Dar
row, for the mlneworkers. He reiterated
his belief expressed In his book tnat an
Intelligent and persistent combination
among miners for the maintenance of
prlce3 and rates of wages would secure a
1 just share of the profits for the workers.
In answer to Commissioner Clark, Dr.
Roberts defined the use of the words
"anthracite syndicate" In his book by
saying he had reached the conclusion
that there was an understanding among
the operators toV.adjust the prices and
regulate the trade. This conclusion he
had reached from personal Investigation.
. After reading extracts from an article
In a magazine supposed to have been
written by Dn Roberts Mr, Darrow asked
what was the- temper of both parties dur
ing the five months of the strike. The
witness replied that It was a condition
of war, and that both sides were intem
perate. Dr. Roberts, in reply to a quss
tlon as to what wages a man should .re
ceive to maintain the American standard
of living, said that he would place the
poverty line at $575 per annum. Under
that amount, he said, the miner and his
family would suffer physically, Intel
lectually and mentally.
The commission adjourned until to
morrow, so that the commissioners could
confer regarding- a suggestion for a week
or 10' days' adjournment In order to allow
both sides to prepare their documentary
evidence.
No Agreement Made. a,
NEW YORK. Nov. 21. President W. H.
Truesdale, of the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western Railroad, was asked tonight
If the rumor was true that the coal oper
erators.had made an offer to the mine
workers of a 10 per cen- increase in
wages and a nine-hour day, and that all
proceedings before the commission would
he discontinued.
"No such agreement has been made by
any one representing our road," Mr.
Truesdale replied.
"Do you know if any of the other roads
have suggested such an agreement?" he
was asked, to which he replied:
"I don't know of any such agreement."

FXNaHCC Novl i. Consul-uenernt
Gudger landed from the Wisconsin at 4
o'clock this afternoon, bringing the news
that a treaty of , peace bad been signed
this afternoon by the revolutionary Gen
eral Hrrera and the government commis
sioners. Admiral Casey will sail tomorrow.
The principal polnt3 in tho treaty of
peace, which has now been signed by
Minister of State Pcrdomo, specifies that
General Herrera shall hand over to the
government the entire revolutionary fleet,
consisting of the gunboats Padllla, Darlen,
Gateln and Boyaca. All the war Imple
mentsof the Insurrectionists in the Prov
inces of Cauca and Panama and the arms
and ammunition captured at Agua Dulce
are also to be surrendered. The govern
ment will pay the sum necessary to return
the soldiers of the revolution to their
homes.
Once peace has beot declared, the Co
lombian Congress will decide regarding
the laws lor the Panama Canal and the
elections, and also the paper currency,
as Is the wleh of the President and the
whole nation.
THE NEWS IS WELCOME.
Revolution in Colombia Menaced
Panama Canal Project.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 21. Although they
have not received any official confirmation
cf the report, officials of the Colombian
Legation express great satisfaction over
the news that a treaty of peace has been
signed with General Herrera. They feel
that this will terminate a war which has
ravaged Colombia for several years.
The government of Colombia realizes
the menace to Its interests- which the
presence ot General Herrera and hi army
would be for the negotiation of a Panama
Canal, and put forth every effort to bring
about his capitulation. For this purpose
a large number of troftps have been
massed In the vicinity of Panama and
Colon, ready for an active campaign
against the revolutionary General, should
such action be Anally determined upon.
It Is believed here that the terms of the
treaty negotiated follow In many respects
the offers made to the rebels some tlnfe
ago by President Marroquln. These were
regarded by the government as extremely
liberal In -character. An essential feature
of them was the granting of amnesty to
the revolutionists, and their restoration
to certain rights which they forfeited
when they tookup arms against the gov
ernment.
CUBA'S FOREIGN TRADE.
Havana Minister Has Furnished State
Department With Report;
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 2L Minis
ter Squlers, at Havana, has forwarded
to the State Department the official re
port of the Foreign Commerce of Cuba
for May and June, 1902, and a statement
of the trade with the United States In
June, 1902, as compared with other coun
tries. The Minister notes a decrease in
tho sugar trade for the first six months
of 1002 as compared with the same period
of, 1901, of 143,000 tons. To offset this,
however, there la an Increase of 318,000
tons held in storage. In the hope of better
prices. The report shows that Cuba gave
to the United States 44 per cent, of her
Import and 74 per cent of her export
trade. Nearly all of Cuba's fruit and
sugar was -marketed In the United States
last June, as well as 50 per cent, of the
Island's tobacco. The United States al
most entirely supplied Cubg. with wheat,
flour, corn, crude oil, coal and meats,
with the exception of jerked beef. Spain
and Canada supplied large .quantities of
potatoes, onions, hams and butter, which
Minister Squlers says should come from
the United States or be supplied by the
home market. The Minister says our live
stock trade Should be Increased, as the
tariff provisions are favorable, and cattle
men prefer American stock. Opportuni
ties also await United States exporters
of lumber, iron arid steel and soap. Cu
ban Imports from the United States for
the first six months of 1902 show a re
duction of ,12 per cent, from tho corre
sponding period of 1899.
Imports from Spain Increased 2 per
cent. In the same period.

CARACAS, .Nov. 21. The "Venezuelan
government has energetically protested
against the entering of the Orinoco River
by the British sloop Fantome (previously

SHOOTING OF ELLEN GORE
MYSTERY 'AS TO. DEATH OF A31ER
ICAN -ARTIST IN PARIS.
Did She Fire the Fatal Shot, Did the
. . Man Who Was With Her, or
Was It Accident?
PARIS, Nov. 2L The tragic death of the
young American artl3t, Mrs. Ellen Gore,
who was, founds fatally shot In the apart
ments of a Russian musician named De
Rydzewski. Wednesday, continues to oc
cupy the attention of the police and the
staff of the American Consulate. The
developments of the true Inwardness- of
the mystery were followed with eager in
terest by the public. toda and brought
forward many who had known Mrs. Gore
here and in America, and, from them her
antecedents were fully .obtained. It was
developed also that she had been a pupil
of the famous composer Moszkowsltl, whil$
De Rydzewski was a pupil of Jean la
Salle, the baritone of the Grand Opera.
The police branch of the mystery seem
ingly remains undeveloped, and no further
light hpa been thrown on the causes which
led to' the tragedy or the circumstances
attending Its enactment.
An autoDsv was held today by Dr.
.Socquet, and resulted In a formal report
wound. Consul-General Gowdy assigned
a member of his staff "to attend tho
autopyy and take notes of the condition
of the body! That official reported that
the bullet entered the forehead above the
left eye and went clear through the head. !
The bullet was not found. The reiect
of Police designated Gnetlnne Rennette,
the expert armorer, to study the weapon
and wound for the-purpose of determining
the possibility of suicide.
Although many friends of Mrs. Gore
called on Mr. Gowdy, none claimed the
body, and late in the day he cabled Attor
ney Butler, of Mexico City, asking as to
Its disposal.
The mos circumstantial account con
cerning Mrs- Gore was furnished by Vin
cent Toledo, director of a leading piano
establishment In the Avenue de l'Opera.
He says she was Introduced to him by
letters from musical friends In New York.
She appeared to Him most charming and
vivacious and devoted to music. She re
ceived all her mall at a private address.
She traveled In the early Summer over
Europe and took lessons in Vienna from a
leading mafter. Returning last August,
she asked to be recommended to a mas
ter of the highest rank. Moszkowskl was
chosen. She studied with great ardor and
took part In, a number of muslcales. Last
Tuesday she accepted an Invitation to
the opera from M. Toledo for last night,
and he was horrified, on going for her,
to find her dead.
M. Moszkowskl. on being Interviewed,
"said:
"I cannot believe Mrs. Gore has commit-.,
ted suicide. She was of the happiest dis
position. I never saw the least evidence
of melancholy. She was deeply Interested
In .her work, and hail ouch promise as a
musician! it was her purpose, after com-'
pletlng her. musical education, to return
to America. She Inquired of me recently
If I thought she would make an excellent
professional. She has taken- lessons, of
me every Tuesday since October 10. Last
Tuesday I received a note from her say
'ihg she was suffering from Indisposition.
I did not know anything of her private
life:'
The family of Dr. Buttner, an American
dentist in the Rue de La Paix, furnished
details of the antecedents of Mrs. Gore.
They had been Intimate with the family
In Mexico, but did not know her here.
They said her maiden name was Sinclair,
and that she lived In California, where
she met and was married to Mr. Gore, of
British Columbia. They removed to Mex
ico City and became wealthy through land
speculations. They built the Gore Court,
a large ripartment-house, and moved In
good society. Domestic differences led
to a separation, but not to a divorce, and
she began traveling to perfect her muslcaf
education." The property in Mexico was
equally divided between Mr. Gore and his
wife. Mrs. Gore's share was of consider
able value and yielded her a steady In
come. De Rydzewski continues in confinement.
The police declined to admit his friends
to see him pending inquiries. M. La Salle
has undertaken to champion his. pupil's
Interests, and has designated two lawyers
to defend him. La Salle says the murder
theory Is untenable, as his pupil Is of a
tender, sympathetic disposition. The bari
tone expected to prepare the latter for a
part in one of Rubeneteln's operas for
early production In St. Peteroburg. De
Rydzewski and his brother brought Mrs.
Gore to La Salle recently. She discussed'
her musical ambitions, and was vivacious,
charming and enthusiastic oyer music.
The police have modified their theory
on one' damaging clew. De Rydzewski
at first exclaimed that the girl was dead
and he afterward eaid she had committed
suicide. The police at first held this to
bo a damaging contradiction, but Com
missary Landel said, after fuller investi
gation today, the second declaration re
garding suicide was misunderstood, and
that De Rydzewski Intended to Indicate
merely that she was dead.
The Journal states that Dr. Socquet's
report on the autopsy of the dead woman
establishes that the bullet entered her
head from below and passed upwards,
thus supporting Rydzewski's story that
the accident was due to the fall of the
revolver.
(Mrs. Gore was killed by a revolver shot
Wednesday, in the apartment occupied by
Jean de Rydzewski, a singer of the Im
perial Theater, of St. Petersburg. De
Rydzewski at first said Mies Gore com
mitted suicide, but subsequently he de
clared the revolver went off accidentally.
When found the victim was unconscious,
and had a bullet wound over her right eye.
Two doctors were summoned to attend
her, but she died without regaining con
sciousness.. The police are disposed to ac
cept the "'statement of the young Rusaian
singer whb was in the room at tho time
that the shooting was the result of an
accident during a scuffle for the posses

studied under good masters. She returned
to th!a city to arrange for her future sup
port, her husband being the owner of a
large amount of real estate here and
proprietor of tne Gore Court apartment
house. In the fashionable quarter. Jt is
understood that Mr. Gore was very liberal
m the treatment of his wife, agreeing to
an equal division of ownership and rent
as far as the apartment-house was con
cerned. Edward C. Butler, her attorney here,
sayo that the idea of suicide la to be dis
carded at once. Mrs. Gore was wrapped
up in her music, and her business interests
here were in excellent shape. He had only
yesterday received a business letter from
her. In this letter ehe wrpte:
I am taking lessons with Moszkowskl. tho
great composer and pianist. I am working
hard and getting along well. I am also taking
French lessons: so that my time is completely
occupied. I hope everything is going on all
right. My love to Mrs. Butler. Very sincerely,
NELLIE S. GORE.
Mrs. Gore Is recalled as being a refined
woman of Irreproachable character, ad
mired for her grace and taste In dress,
and was often known to take part In con
certs here.
Her husband made his money in coal and
real estate operations. He is now supposed
to be singing in opera in the United States,
although possessed of large property here.
He treated his wife with generosity, and
Is himself well regarded in this city.
Mrs. Gore's maiden name was Nellie S.
Stogdall. and her father wa3 a Methodist
minister, who died many years ago.

Might "as "Well Talk to an Avalanche,
Mrs. Gore Said.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21. Mrs. Col
onel B. T. Dickinson, of Alameda, ah
aunt of Mrs. Gore,- was seen tonight and
declared that her niece did not commit
suicide. Mrs. Dickinson stated that she
was In receipt of several letters from Mrs.
Gore stating that Rydzewski was Infat
uated with her and had threatened her.
On September 22, Mrs. Gore wrote to
Mrs. Dickinson as follows
"I hear Mr. de Rydzewski is coming
at the end of the 'week. In a way I am
sorry he Is to be In Paris this Winter. I
can see by his letters that he Intends to
take up as much of my time as possible.
I shall take a firm stand and keep him at
a distance. I wrote him that I am here
to study seriously and that I shall be un
able to see him often, but then one might
as well talk to an avalanche descending
on one. I shall tell my servants that I
am not at home to him."
