THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 15. 1&)2. OWN THE OREB All Grain to Go That Way by Rail. SHIPPING PORTS AT MOUTH Northern Pacific and 0 R. & N. Will Each Have Line, WILL DRAIN COLUMBIA BASIN Haul Over Mountains to Paget Sound, us Well as Loading: Vessels at Portland, to Be Stopped Plans Xorr Laid. The Northern Pacific contemolates buildlne down the north bank of the Columbia to Us mouth, to carry train there for XDort. Thli will force the O. R. & 2f. to do the same thins on the south side of the river. Export grain now loaded In vessels in Port land or at Pusret Sound points will then all go out of the Columbia River. How soon this will come about will depend largely upon the result of pres ent railroad necotlatlons. Men who are In position to get Inside railroad Information and who are close observers of events In the world of trans portation read this Important message In the present trend of affairs: The Northern -Pacific Railroad la go ing down the north bank of the Colum bia to some point near the mouth of that stream, where it will establish a chip ping port In opposition to Astoria. The O. R. & N. will be obliged to run Its trains down the south bank of the river and do Its shipping from Astoria or some point near that city. Both railroads will carry the grain of the Columbia Basin to the mouth of the river for export not only that part of It now loaded Into ships In Portland, but also the part that now goes through Puget Sound ports. Port land will do the business at the mouth of the rlvef, ae-.lt now does much of the exporting from Puget Sound. The wheat trains will run through Portland and -the stevedoring will be done at Astoria and on the opposite side of the river, but Portland men and money will do the business. Common-point rates will be forced to the mouth of the river. Only the destruction of Portland and the training of the Northern Pacific Into As toria will then remain to make Astorians supremely happy. But neither NaT these things' will' come' to pass. The Northern Pacific will be responsible for forcing this traffic to the mouth of the Columbia, but Its motive will be profit for the Northern Pacific, not satisfaction of Astoria's grudge. That railroad corporation has always been fond of building Its -own cities and carv ing new avenues for business." Even when the corporation Itself has not profit ed from this course many of those high in authority. In the company have found thomselveo gainers by It For several years the Northern Pacific has been pressing toward the mouth of the river. There Is good authority for the statement that the O. R. & "N. antlcl- cred In the Uwaco railroad. Northern Pa cific engineers have been running lines along the Lower Columbia and no secret has been made of their operations. The Northern Pacific has built the stretch of railroad between Kalama and "Van couver, but anxiety to get a bridge across the Columbia at the latter place does not appear to be great Surveyors arc now between the mouth of the Klickitat River and Vancouver, having Incidentally run a line over from the Yakima Valley. The Paul Mohr portage is 'undoubtedly In hands friendly to the Northern Pacific Indeed, all the strategic points on the route down the north bank of the Colum bia are already In the hands of the Northern Pacific. When the time ehall come these sections can be connected up with a movement eo rapid that outside interference will not be possible. No hint Is yet given, however, as to the point that will be made the deep-water terminal at the mouth of the river. In all this matter the Northern Pacific appears to take an aggressive position. Though negotiations are pending for an agreement that will bring harmony Into the relations between the Union Pacific and the Northern Pacific, the Northern Pacific is acting precisely as If it ex pected these negotiations to. fall through and active hostilities to take the place 'of the present condition of armed neu trality. In this field the Harriman Inter ests have the outward appearance of ex treme Innocence or sleepy Indifference, but It cannot escape observation that the Harriman fences in the East are being put in good condition. When the Clear water war was on four years ago the Union Pacific position In the East was l-Jso vulnerable that extensions by the O. j B. & N. In the Clearwater Valley would have led Inevitably to reprisals from Union Pacific territory In the East. That Is why the O. R. & N. could not .defend I itself against Northern Pacific aggres sion; the Eastern control prevented such course. There was more to be lost in the East than was to be gained In the West. Since then Harriman has obtained a I footing in the Burlington and has made alliances with the St. Paul, the Illinois I Central and the Alton all strong lines. These relations relieve the Union Pacific from the fear of retaliation that was present to Tiamper the O. R. & N. in I the race four years ago. So If war should I break out again It Is believed the O. R. & N. would be able to meet every move of its agile and aggressive adversary. It is believed that Harriman Interests have practical control of the Astoria Railroad and that actual control could be ac complished by a mere turn of the wrist. This, with the manifest Intention of the rorthem Pacific to go down the north side of the Columbia leads to the conclu- that those In the Inner railroad clr- es already see such an outcome to the resent situation, and are preparing for be necessary adjustments. And not only do events clearly point In ihat direction, but It Is freely said by some of those In official position to be within the present plans of the railroads. Hpw soon they shall be carried Into effect depends on preeent efforts to maintain the truce. THE AIDED RAILROADS. Only Qne OTres Government, Accord ing to Commissioner Longstrect. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14- The annual report of General Lo'ngstrect, the Com missioner of Railroads, says that, of the railroad companies vhlchhave received Government subsidies in bonds, nil have settled their Indebtedness with the Gov ernment except the Central Branch Rail way Company, the successor of the Cen tral Branch Union Pacific Railway Com pany. The reports of the bond-aided and land -grant roads show an Increase of $20,000,000 In net earnings over those for 1S0L There was an increase of over J5.000.000 in gross earnings and of $27, 000.000 in expenses. The report deals with detailed annual summaries of the operations of the roads, embraces the principal laws of Congress that relate to the bond-aided and land grant railroads, and includes abstracts of the decisions of the Supreme Court In cases affecting the bond-aided Pacific companies, and to which the United States Is part'.

AIKEN CASE PROVES NOTHING Footballist Might Have Recovered In Any Event High Authorities Against Dissection .of Animals Except Under Anesthetic. WASHINGTON. Dec. 14. Senator Gal linger. of New Hampshire, who is also a member of the medical profession, tonight gave out the following letter In reply to the published letter of Dr. W. W. Keen, of Philadelphia, sent him a week ago: "United States Senate, Washington,. Dec 13. Dear Sir: Reviewing your letter of December 5, 1902, which you' gave to the press of the United States, respecting your- H. GALLINGER success In the case of Midshipman Aiken, I note four points: "First That self-advertisement is pro hibited by the ethics of our profession. "Sccond--That misrepresentation la for bidden by the ethics of mankind. No measure that would prohibit vivisection or prevent any of the experiments which you claim were necessary to give you the requisite knowledge in the Aiken case has I lover been Introduced by me In the Senate, nor has any such legislation been recom i mended by me to the Senate. Your state j ment that I have been -engaged In efforts to secure 'Inhumane and cruel legislation ; is without the slightest warrant In fact. ; I have been" engaged In efforts to secure . humane legislation that would prevent cruelty. The bills whjch I have favored ; would. If enacted, only regulate vivlsec , tlon in the District of Columbia so as to prevent admitted cruelty, and should have the support of every humane person. "Third That your argument turns an assumption which cannot be maintained mined by experimentation on animals. The brains of animals differ from the brain of man, and also differ from one another, so that stimulation of a cer- tain part of the brain will produce a cer tain effect In one animal and another ef feet In another animal. Long history of experiment on the brains of animals has shown that it Is not only not safe to rea ion from the brains of animals to that of man, but that such reasoning is not safe as between' the brain of one animal and that of another. When such experiment had stabllshed a fact with rcerard tn "nnv species of animal, the next thing was. ici ua occ ii 11 ib uie same in man. The experimenters therefore 'saw' by ex perlment In some form upon man, and sometimes the result was similar and with the expectation that they should have the same result as they had had with animals "Fourth That you ignore in your direct appeal to selfishness that altruism which is the principle of moral progress, that to practice cruelty, even in the hone of heln ing humanity. Is to hurt It and to delay the advance or civilization To ston Inhumnne Practice "Recurring to the suggestion already made, that I have not Introduced into the Senate nor advocated any bill prohibiting vivisection. I beg to say that the purpose i:as Deen to regulate the practice, thereby rfmovHig irom it the Inhumane' and 'cruel' features which have shocked the moral fence of our psople. You will doubtless recall the fact that 'when you , gave testimony before the committee on ; District of Columhin nn t,., 91 10 5 1 akcd you If you thought It Improper tor. congress to enact a law oaylng that a dog or a horse should be put under the Influence of an anesthetic before beinu cut to pieces or the nerves torn from the brain, and that you promptly replied. 'I think It would be most unwise legislation In view of that reply, do you not think tnat your charge against me that I am engaged in efforts to secure Inhumane and i cruel legislation should be withdrawn, waie.; mut anoiner iastens a doer to tho dissecting table, and, discarding the use of anesthetics, stands above it with a large emery-ytone bottle, with which he strikes with all his strength a dozen violent blown on the' head; while the same experimenter says that he dislocates both the o.1ouldcrs doing it with difficulty? Anothcf experi menter claims that he ha3 'consecrated' more than SO large animals, mostly horss? and mules, to the extremest. torture possible not. as he expressly tell us. to solve any problem In medical theory, but simDlv tc see what degree of pain could be Inflicted through Irritation of the spinal cord. An other still says that he has Invented a new machine, which he calls his 'tor mentor,' and In this fiendish device, which had first been 'quilted with long nails.' animals are moved about, racked with tor ment torn and twisted, crushed and lacer ated, hour by hour, until crucified Nature can no longer endure and dath comes as a Ivxdy release. That experimenter says: T can take an ear, a paw or a bit of skin of the animal and by turning the handle squeeze It beneath the teeth of pie pinch ers ;I can lift the animal by the suffering part; 1 can tear It or crush It In all sorts of ways.' And he adds that these experi ments are repeated day after day, 'with much delight and extreme patience, for the space of a year. Who Saved Aiken's Life? "If to attempt to prevent such barbar ous practices brings me under your con demnation, I am willing to have the case submitted to the judgment "of the, Amer ican people. Are you sure, sir, that you 'saved' the life- of Midshipman Aiken? Are not blood clots frequently absorbed by the processes of nature, and Is It not a fact that In many such experiments death has resulted because of the opera tion? Your claim that you located the blood clot because of experiments upon animals may or may not be true, as we have the highest possible authority for believing that such experiments are often misleading and absolutely without value. You are doubtless aware of the fact that many distinguished scientists have assert ed that experiments on animals In the matter of localizing brain functions have led to nothing of value. Inasmuch as the human brain differs immensely from that of the higher animals. Professor Ferrier has asserted that 'the greatest disagree ments imaginable' exist among experi mental physiologists on that point, add ing: 'It Is to me a, matter of essential Importance that in generalizing as to the functions of the cerebral hemispheres we should be careful lest the hypothesis wo adopt, however well it may seem to ac cord with the facts of experiment on the order of animals, should not stand In fla grant contradiction to facts equally well established obtained by experiments on others. . "On the general question of the. value" of vivisection, which I have never un dertaken to interfere with, when hu manely practiced, It may be well for mo to say that I am fortified In my position by the opinions of many of the leading scientists of the world, Including such well-known names as that of the late Lawson Talt the greatest ovarlotomost of the last century, and by Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson, the distinguished Eng lish phj'slclan, surgeon and scientist 'au thor of a remarkable book on 'Biological Experimentation,' who acknowledges him self to be a vlYlsector, but who gives warning to the profession that modern experimentation tends to unfit" a physician for the discharge of his duties, summing up his opinion In these words: ' 'Were I again to deliver a course of physiological lectures to qualified hearers, I should make the experimental demon strations on living animals as few and far between as was compatible with duty They would be painless from beginning to end.' "What I have advocated is in precisely that line, and In support of the contention that, even if everything you claim In the Aiken case is true, students should be taught the facts that you claim have been established, precisely a3 they are taught the theory of the circulation of blood, and not through unnecessary tortures on dumb animals." " TRADE OF PHILIPPINES. Fell Off in, Important Pnrticnlnrsj Gained in Others. WASHINGTON, ISec. 14. The Buceau of Insular Affairs of the War Depart ment has Issued the following compara tive summary of the commerce of the Philippine Islands for the seven months ending July 31, 1902, and 1901. The total value 'of merchandise, exclusive of gold and sliver, Imported during the seven months ended July 31, 1902, was $19,310,437, as against 517,132,205 for the same period of 1901. The" principal increase In 1S02 was In foodstuffs, the purchase of rice alone exceeding the figures for 1901 by nearly 11,500,000. Gold and silver was Imported during the seven months of 1S02 to the value of ?3,026,747; same period of 1901, $1,230,294. The value of Imports coming from the United States In 1902 was $2,433, S89, ja gain of approximately $500,000 as compared with 1901. Agricultural Industries throughout the archipelago have been, materially affect ed, owing to the unfortunate destruction of the worjc cattle J by an epidemic pt rinderpest, a disease that has practically annihilated the, caribou or water buffalo, and the outbreak of cholera, which has curtailed the already limited supply of labor. These unfavorable conditions, in addition te the effect of frequent changes taking place in the present currency standard, an early and satisfactory solu tlon of which situation the bureau says Is absolutely essential to the business In terests of the Islands, produced a falling off in the exports for the seven months ended July 31, 1902, of nearly $1,000,000. as compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, the figures for 1902 showing $13.S83,263, against $14,819,761 in 1501, Gold and silver was exported to the value of $2,019,717 in 1902. against $435,181 in 1901. The general decrease, however, did not prevent a comparative Increase In shipments destined for the United States, the value of merchandise exported to this country in 1902 being $4,709,620. a gain dur ing the past two years of more than ?3,- 250,000. Tho annual export trade of the islands since American occupation, as compared with the output prior to that time, has Improved so rapidly that the" present monthly average, notwithstanding the ad verse conditions that have prevailed dur Ing the sqven months of the current year, is in excess of the computed ratio based on the showing of former years. The bureau announces that It now is in a position to furnish intending bidders the full text of the enactment of tho Philip pine Commission, providing for the grant of a franchise to construct an electric street railway on the streets of Manila, and its suburbs, and a franchise to con struct maintain and operate an electric light, heat and power system In the City of Manila and Its suburbs. The franchise will be awarded after competitive bidding. the bids to be filed In Manila before March 5, 1903, when they will be opened. The route of the proposed system as fixed by the 1 Philippine) Commission is 33 miles long. The points of competition for bidding are the duration of the franchise, not to exceed 50 years; the rate of fare pn the street railway not to exceed 7& cents gold, for first-class passengers, and .5 cent3 gold for second-class passengers and the compensation to be paid the City of Manila for the franchise not less than IVs per cept of the gross earnings. Con struction must begin within six months after awarding the bid, and be completed 20 months thereafter. LEADVILLE HOTEL 'GONE. Fire Bnmed Property Worth 9150, 000 Lodsers Suffered. SALT LAKE CITY.

WHY QUAY IS SO ACTIVE HE AND THIS FItlENDS HAVE INTER ESTS IN" NEW MEXICO. But the Prospect Is That the Repub lican Senators Will Stop State hood Bill This Session. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash- fncton. Dec. 14. The dogged persistence of Quay, In forcing the omnibus statehood bill to the front is accounted for by the fact that he and his friends have large In terests In New Mexico which will be bene fited by statehood. He makes no conceal ment of the personal Interest, while play inc strongly upon the fact that the Na tional convention specifically Indorsed the admlralon of the three territories named in the bill.' The Republican leaders believe that they have ao arranged legislation that the bill cannot pass this session, despite the fact that a majority of the Senate favors it. Great confidence Is expressed by Senators In the ability of the Administration so to steer the affairs of the Government that we will not become seriously involved in tho Venezuelan complication. The fact that the war spirit is not so rampant as it was five years ago will have a great deal to do with curbing Inflammatory utter ances and a determination by Congress not to force this country ipto unnecessary trouble. Although the House committee Is work ing Industriously upon antl-truat legisla tion and endeavoring to perfect some Con stitutional measure, . there is little pros pect of anything being done this session. Possibly the House may pass a bill of some kind, but the Senate Is not going to act. The judiciary committee Is doing nothing, and Senators recognize that It will be almost impossible to do anything at this session, which will only have two months for work after the holiday recess. Of course, there might be discussion, but most of the leaders desire to avoid fruit less talk. In fact, some do not want any trust talk at this session. The word seem3 to have been tacitly passed around to pass the appropriation bills and do nothing more. Along with trust legislation will go tar iff revision and reciprocity treaties, for there Is even less desire for a sensational discussion of the tariK than there is talk of trusts. Senator Cullom. who Introduced a trust bill In tho Senate, intends to ask the committee to consider it, but that will be-all. TUB IMMIGRATION BILL. May Pas Senate 'With Principal Points Eliminated.

TUB CONGRESSIONAL PROGRAMME. Statehood Bill Will Consume Mast oi Senate's Time. "WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. After the rou tine morning business in the Senate Is disposed of tomorrow morning. Senator Proctor will ask the Senate to take up his bill for the reorganization qf the militia force of the United Stages, and ho will continue to bring It forward each day In the morning hour, with the hope of securing action early In the week and of having It become a lav before adjourn ment for the Christmas holidays. At 2 o'clock the statehood bill will be again taken up, and Senator Dillingham will address the Senate In opposition to the admission of New Mexico and Arizona. ! He will speak at length, quoting from the testimony taken by the sub-committee which visited those territories, and giving his personal experience as a member of that committee. The statehood bill will continue each day of the week, except "Wednesday, to bo the order of business after 2 o'clock. "Wednesday, by special order, has been set aside for eulogies for the late Senator Sewell, of New Jersey.
