THE CORNING OBEGONIAN, TUESDAY. JANUARY 27, 1903. WEARY OF WAITING Hitchcock May Pass Oregon in irrigation Plans. COMMITTEE HAS DONE NOTHING Project to Be Undertaken Will Soon. Be Selected, bat Unless Oreson Hurrlew Her Recommendations, SUe Must Remain Dry. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 2C As soon as Congress ad journ and Senatoro and Representatives are well away from Washington. Secre tary Hitchcock will take steps looking to apportioning among, the Western States the irrigation work first to be undertaken tinder the geenral law passed last session. Until that time no public announcement rs to choice will be made, as the Secretary has determined that political interference will not be tolerated with regard to this great work, but that only such projects as are, on their face, most attractive and promising, shall be considered and fol lowed out. The chance for Oregon securing one of the first works Is fast ebbing away. Since the Irrigation convention held about seven weeks ago, the Geological Survey haa heard .nothing as to local projects from the special committee, and Is somewhat at a loss to understand the apparent lack of interest In the work on the part of the Oregon people. Already the survey, has submitted to Secretary Hitchcock the records with regard to a number of pro jects that are recommended more or lesa strongly, but none in Oregon. The survey officials here have been wait ing for the irrigation committee, which was chosen to advise the department as to the most favored localities In Oregon, in order that the wishes of the people might be carried out as nearly as pos sible. If this report Is not soon made, the survey will not have time, before the Secretary announces his choice, to inspect and report upon the sites of proposed works in Oregon, and the state will have te take a second choice, and possibly wait for a year or more, until sufficient funds have accumulated in the Treasury to cover the cost of the favored Oregon scheme. In the meantime, nothing has been done with regard to the Deschutes withdrawal under the Carey act, upon which a report was submitted some weeks ago. Unfortu nately, the Geological Survey knows more about this locality than any other, but, with private enterprise holding right of way, and there being no disposition to uproot vested rights in this vicinity, some other site must be chosen. If Oregon la not on the first list of works to be con structed, the most it can expect next Summer will be detailed examination of several projects which are reported upon by the local committee, if such report is ever made. ariGHT START A FLOOD. Objection to Educating Alaska In dians at C hem awn. School. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 26. Representative Moody en deavored in the Indian committee today to secure favorable action on a proposed amendment to tho Indian bill authorizing the education of Alaska Indians at the Chemawa School, Oregon, but objection was made by Representative Little, of Arkansas, who said the natives of Alaska are not Indians, but tribes of a distinct class. He further objected, claiming that, such authorization would establish the precedent for flooding tho Indian schools with the natives of our insular posses sions, and this he was opposed to. As unanimous .consent was necessary to se cure a report, the amendment went over. It is possible it may be offered in the Senate by Senator Mitchell. OREGON A FAVORED LAND. Southern Members of Congress Loud in Praise o the .ate. - OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 26. Two Southern Represent atives, who escorted the body of Repre sentative Tongue to Oregon, and who re turned with their party today, speak in highest praise of the State of Oregon. Bepresentative Bellamy, of North Caro lina, who is quite a landholder in his state, said that In all his travels in this country and in Europe he had never seen such rich soli as he found in the Umatilla Valley and the Willamette Valley, and Southern Oregon impressed him even more favorably. "If I were to leave the South,". said he today, "I would certainly take up my resldence.ln Oregon, and If my sons strike out for other sections, I shall advise them to seek Portland or-some point in Oregon. Oregon, to my mind, far outranks any state in the West through which we passed, not excepting California. It is a state of boundless resources." Representative' Randell, of Louisiana, a member of the river and harbor commit tee, was particularly Impressed with the Columbia River and the importance of opening that stream at The Dalles. "From what I saw and was told," said he, "that vast country tributary to the Upper Co lumbia and Its branches certainly de serves recognition by Congress In the ef fort to overcome the dalles obstructions. An open river is very necessary, and should be provided without delay; not so much because of the amount of commerce that will actually go down the river, but In order that a water freight rate may be established, and thus hold down railroad rates. I live on the Mississippi River, and know the vast Importance of having water transportation when we want it It seems to me that the amount estimated for over coming the obstructions at The Dalles and Celilo Is very moderate. A demand lor several times that sum would be en tirely justified by the amount of com merce affected. I wish I bad had more time to remain In Oregon and see more of It" Both these members pronounced the Hood River apples the finest they had ver eaten, and were deeply Impressed with, other industries of the state. Rans deli, like Bellamy, said Oregon Is far su perior to any other Western state through which he passed, richer In soil, more at tractive In climate and more varied in industries. Fleet In the West Indies. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. The Navy Department has ordered the Marcellus from Culebra to Havana to remove the remainder of the American coal there. There are about 900 tons left. It Is not stated at the department whether this coal will be sent to Admiral HIgglnson's squadron in the West Indies or dispatched to some of the near-by coaling stations. It developed today that the fleet fn the West Indies is being kept constantly In formed as to the details of the Venezuelan situation. Denial Is made, however, that any recent orders to ships have been in ifluenced by a threatened clash with for eign powers. PURPOSE OF TRUST BILL Uonsc Committee Believes Publicity Will Help to Cure Evil. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. A report pre pared by Representative Littlefield to ac company the anti-trust bill report to the House by the judiciary committee was presented today by Representative Over street of Indiana, Mr. Littlefield being In New England, investigating the coal situa tion along the coast The report treats of the trust question at some length. Speaking of the bill reported. It says: "Its purpose Is more effectively to regu late and control on conservative lines.

I mailed my ac ceptance this mornlnsr." Judge Day does not know when the appointment .will be sent to the Senate. Judge Day's name as a statesman Is associated In the public mind wth the Spanish "War. He was appointed Assistant Secretary of State by President Mc Klnley when the latter assumed office In March, 1S9T. and long prior to tho out break of the war was practically In charge of the abortive negotiations relating to Cuba which preceded it On the resignation of John Sherman as Secretary of State, a few days after the declaration of war in April, 18SS, Judge Day was appointed his successor and retained the office until September. 1S9S. when he resigned to become chairman of the peace commission sent to Paris to end the war. On his return he was appointed Judge of the United States Circuit Court' of the Sixth Circuit, which office he now holds. Judge Day comes of a family of lawyers.

It seeks to prevent tho effort to destroy competition in particular localltlee by dis crimination in prices and prohibits rail road companies from transporting goods In violation of tho law and contains pro visions to facilitate the enforcement of this act as well as existing legislation on the same lines. "It Is through the medium of consumers in the purchasing of Us products, that the over-capitalized combination finds its most extensive and oppressive contact with the public Successful over-capitalization Involves the necessity of declaring a dividend upon the over-capltallzatlon equal to a dividend upon actual value, thus giving to the stock an earning ca pacity and creating an artificial market value. ... To what extent we aro now paying exorbitant prices to produce ab normal returns no one can tell, as no re ports are now made to any authority, state or National, that give any adequate Information on that point. This is one of the things that this bill seeks to ac complish. "Publicity, by creating an intelligent public sentiment, will go far toward ameliorating oppressive conditions. If It Is a fact that competitors are ruthlessly destroyed and prices are Increased In order that enormous returns may be re ceived upon a relatively Insignificant in vestment, and the searchlight of publicity can be turned thereon, It Is doubtful If the persons who are responsible for such a reprehensible condition could long stand the well-directed public Indignation that would be thus arounsed. "It la not claimed that publicity Is a cure-all. It Is hoped, however, that by Its application the operation of natural laws may, In appreciable degree, alleviate ex-, isting conditions." CHILD SWALLOWS LAMP. Strange Accident With Electric Light Proved Fatal. NEW YORK, Jan. 26. When Edward Lang, a driver for a department store, re turned homo Saturday night, he laid on the dining-room table the small elec tric lamp and battery which he uses after dark to read the names on doorbells in delivering goods. About noon Sunday his little daughter, Anna, 4 years old, espied the lamp. The child touched the button and the little bulb glowed. Then ehe put the bulb In her mouth; it was but an inch long and about half an Inch In circumference. Somehow the bulb broke off and slipped down her throat. Her mother .heard the child strangling and ran to her assistance, and the father hurried for a physician. He was gone half an hour and found no doctor at home. He then decided to call an ambulance, and the child was removed to a hospital and tracheotomy performed. Before the operation was completed little Anna was dead. The physicians finally located the glass bulb In the child's left nostril. It is supposed the mother had succeeded in clearing the Infant's throat, but that the child was too far gone to recover suffi ciently to breathe, and really died of strangulation. REPUBLICANS GIVE UP SPLIT IX COLORADO LEGISLATURE IS ENDED. House Recognises Democratic Senate and BunIiicss Is Resumed Pea body Admits Teller's Election. DENVER, Jan. 26. The. regularity of the re-election of United States Senator Teller Saturday at a joint session of the Democratic members of the two houses of the General Assembly is practically con ceded by the Republican Senators, who today abandoned the separate organiza tion which they maintained all last week and returned to the Senate chamber, where the Democratic majority has been in continuous session since last Monday.

AFFRONT TO LEGISLATORS. Utah Members Protest Afrnlnst Bclnj? Compared With. Jackrabbits. SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 26. The lower House of the Legislature today made for mal objection to its members being com pared to jackrabblts. The objection was in the form of a set of resolutions severe ly censuring the Salt Lake Telegram, which, on Saturday, published an article stating that the members from San Pete County "could change places with jack rabbits, and the Legislature would be strengthened by the presence of their sub stitutes." On account of the prevalence of smallpox In the state, agitation in fa vor of a compulsory vaccination law has been very strong, and the representatives from San Pete County have vigorously opposed this movement. The resolutions, which were passed after a lively debate, declare that the remarks "cast serious reflection upon the intelligence and fitness for the work of the Legislature" of the members.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26. A meeting of the representatives of the commercial bodies of this city was held today to take action on the statements made abroad that bubonic plague exists In this city. F. J.

Natal, Jan. 26. Bubonic plague is spreading so seriously here that the natives are panic-stricken. Serv ants and landowners are leaving the town In larce numbers. It Is anticipated that the Zululand drifts will be closed so as to prevent the spread of the disease to that district. It Is officially stated that the total num ber of plague cases Is 42. There have been 27 deaths. ALLIES ACCEPT. (Continued from First Page.) said there was no reason whatever for a continuance of the blockade "once the powers arc satisfied that the guarantee Is not merely offered with the object of get ting rid of them." It Is understood here that the banks re ferred to by Mr. Bowen are J. & "W Seligman & Co. and J. P. Morgan & Co. "Want Larger Percentage. ROME, Jan. 26. It Is learned that the powers are still negotiating regarding the percentage of the customs receipts that "Venezuela Is to give as a guarantee, one government insisting upon 50 per cent in stead of GO per cent. ARRANGING THE DETAILS. Main Points of Agreement "With "Venezuela Have Been Decided. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 While no ad vance has been made since yesterday to ward the settlement of the Venezuelan situation, It Is the opinion that no ground has been lost and from the few details of the exchanges between the allies that leak out here, it would appear that they are considering such small phases of the ultimate arrangements as to Indicate that they already have reached a tacit agree ment upon the general principles of the settlement. It Is understood that the allies, while considerably abating their demands for a cash payment from Venezuela, "still ad here to the principle of the ultimatum so far as it involves the payment of some money on claims 'of such character as do not admit of question. Upon the receipt of these claims will depend Mr. Bowen's success in removing the blockade, for It Is believed that he had contrived the means to secure some cash from Presi dent Castro, realized upon forced loans, and more Is likely to be derived from Interests In this country Interested In the establishment of order In Venezuela and the dissipation of the present International complications. Up to the close of the day formal notice of the acceptance of the proposition had not come to Mr. Bowen from the repre sentatives of the allies here. However, such unofficial Information as reached Mr. Bowen confirmed him in the belief that the pending controversy would be settled "soon and satisfactorily." It Is learned that the Italian government all along has fayored an honorable compro mise and has let its allies know the favor with which It regarded the Bowen prop osition, while expressing a willingness to defer to their views In the matter. It developed today that the proportion of the custom duties collected at La Guayra and Puerto Cabello to be paid to the allies Is CO per cent. These two ports collect a large part of the total customs receipts of the country. Under this ar rangement, probably a cash payment can be dispensed with, as the customs re ceipts would quickly defray the press ing individual claims of the allies. The lifting of the blockade would not mean the complete withdrawal from American waters of the allied fleet, as It Is understood that not only will the Brit ish American fleet remain In Its accus tomed Winter quarters in the .Caribbean, but that tho German government would depart from its ancient policy, which has been to get along without station fleets, and will continue the present squadron in American waters as a perma nent fleet. MACARTHUR GIVES A HINT. Suggests European Conspiracy to Invade "Western Hemisphere. CHICAGO, Jan. 26. The Chronicle to morrow will say: Charges of a European conspiracy to dis rupt the Western Hemisphere, couched by Major-General Arthur MacArthur, commanding the Department of the Lakes, in diplomatic language, were made tonight at the annual banquet of the Western Society, Army of the Potomac. President Gross intimated that Major General S. B. M. Young's absence from the banquet was occasioned by urgent duties at Washington relative to the South American tangle. "A question Is being propounded throughout the world today," said General MacArthur, "which Is being discussed with secret satisfaction In hostile Cab inets, with a view, no doubt, to com bined action, calculated and intended to Introduce discord Into this hemisphere whenever a propitious moment shall arise to encourage such Interference. "Tho question Is whether a self-governing nation as rich and populous as the United States will be able to resist the strain which must inevitably arise as a logical consequence of Its own great prosperity. Wo can answer that question with calm assurance." REBELS "WIN A VICTORY. Castro's Army Dispersed and Gen eral Captured Near Puerto Cabello. NEW YORK, Jan. 26. President Cas tro's troops have been defeated by the Venezuelan revolutionists in an Important battle about 40 miles west of Puerto Ca bello, says a dispatch to the Herald from Wlllemstad, Island of Curacao.

Title of 3Ien Who Located on Land Before Definite Location of North ern Pacific Decided to Re Good. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. The United States Supreme Court today rendered through Justice Harlan an opinion affect ing the Northern Pacific land grant. The case was that of Peter and Henry Nelson, who located upon unsurveyed land within the Northern Pacific grant In Kit titas County, In the then Terri tory of Washington, In 18S1. This was after the railroad company had filed its general map showing Its proposed line, but before It had filed Its map of defi nite location. In the opinion handed down today it was held that the title of the settlers was better than that of the rail road company, and that until the definite map was filed Congress had control of the lands within the grant regardless of the general map. In a dissenting opinion Justice Brewer said the opinion reverses the judgment of the court of 20 years ago, by wWch the In terior Department had ever since been controlled in dealing with disputes be tween the railroad company and settlers like the Nelsons. Justice Harlan said that Congress cer tainly had not Intended that the railroad company should acquire any vested Inter est In the lands within its grant prior to definite location. In support of this state ment he cited the language of the act of 1SS0, excluding from the grant all lands occupied by homestead settlers at the time of the definite location of the road. Until this definite location was made, he said, "the land covered In the map of general route was 'afloat' that Is, land at large and subject to the entire control of Congress." Coming definitely to the Nelson case, he said: "As the railroad had not acquired any vested Interest In the land when Nelson went upon It, his continuous occupancy of It, with a view In good faith to ac quire It under the homestead laws as soon as It was surveyed, constituted in our opinion, a claim upon such land withlc the meaning of the Northern Pacific act of 1S64, and as that claim existed when the railroad company definitely located Its line, the land was by the express words of that act excluded from the grant." "If It be said that Nelson's claim .was that of a mere occupancy, unamended by formal entry or application for the land, the answer," says the opinion, "is that this was a condition of things for which Nelson was not In any wise responsible, and his rights In law were not lessened by that fact. The land was not surveyed until 1S93, 12 years after he took up his residence on It. and under the home stead law he could not Initiate his right by formal entry of record until the land was surveyed. He acted with as much promptness as was possible under the cir cumstances." s Justices Brown and Shlras united with Justice Brewer In his dissenting opinion. The chief point of the dissent was that the court's decision clouds the title to all lands granted to the railroad comnanv. At the time the map of definite location was filed, as well as at the time the road was completed, there was not, said Jus How It Cures Catarrh B:cre Is a patient taking treatment for Catarrh of the Head. He breathes the soothing medication through his nostrils and the nasal channels open up, the stuffed-up feeling In the head loaves and he can breathe naturally through the nose again. The dull pains across the front of the head fade away and the nasal membrane Is soothed until the Inflammation and soreness aro all gone. The bad odor of the breath passes away and the lost sense of smell returns. The dropping In the throat Is checked; the nose does not stop up towards night any more, the sneezing and snuffing have ceased and the discharge from the nose grows less and lef, and finally stops alto gether. The disease has been checked and eradicated from the system before It ever reached the throat. It has not been driven down Into his throat or Into his lungs or Into his ears, as Is so often done by other treatments. How It Cures Deafness Here Is another patient, who, for years, has been a sufferer. Every fresh cold seemed to stay longer than former colds, and he noticed that his ears got stopped up and his hearing became duller and duller, and there were ring ing and buzzing noises In his ears. The catarrh had parsed upward and back ward from the throat along the eus tachian tube leading from the throat Into the ear. He had visited throat doctors and catarrh doctors without relief. In this condition we find him Inhaling tho never-falling, medication, and soon he noticed a change. The noises In the ears stop, there is no more discharge, the hearing gets bet ter, and finally the tubes of tho ears open up and something seems to give way in his head. His hearing has completely returned. No wonder ho considers the result a marvel. How It Cures Bronchia Diseases Here Is another patient who was al ways sensitive to the weather. He con tracted catarrh of the head, and it passed to his throat, then down the windpipe and Into the bronchial tubes. He coughed at night so that he could not sleep; there was pain behind the breastbone and under the, shoulder blades. When he coughed he brought up a frothy, grayish material streaked with blood. He lost appetite and strength. He tried cough syrups and different medicines to no avail. He now breathes in with full inspirations the restoring and soothing medicine.

"Yet," continued Justice Brewer, "be cause Nelson was on the land, it Is held that the patent of the Government to thf railroad conveyed to It no title, and that this occupant by oral testimony may show the fact of his occupancy and overthrow the record title. If such occupation Is sufficient to void the patent of the United States, has the company sure title to any lands?" AFFECTS 3IANY SETTLERS. Decision on Nelson Case Is of Great Importance to Homesteaders. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 26. The decision of the Su premo Court today In the case of Nelson against tho Northern Pacific Railway Company, to the effect that the United States holds title to all lands along pro posed lines of land-grant railroads up to the time of the filing of the map of defi nite location, and further holding that no rights to any lands within- the limits of a grant passed to the road on the filing of the general map, affects a very great number of homesteaders who had gone on lands prior to the filing of the map of definite location, and who later found themselves within the limits of the rail road grants. These settlers will be al lowed to retain possession of such lands, and the company must look elsewhere for Indemnity. - James Hamilton Lewis was attorney for Nelson. NEGRO BURNED BY MOB.

The Eank of Broughton, Ford & Co. here assigned to day for the benefit of Its creditors. It is understood that the assets are close to 5500.0CO, with liabilities" of 1300.000. The as sets consist largely of farm mortgages. It is stated that the concern was over loaded. Mr. Ford declared no one woulo. lose a dollar by the failure. Scrofula Few are entirely free from It. It may develop so slowly a3 to cause little if any disturbance daring thft whole period of childhood. It may then produce irregularity of the stomach and bowels, dyspepsia, catarrh, and marked tendency to consumption before manifesting itself in much cutaneous eruption or glandular swelling. It Is best to be sure that you are quite free from it, and for its complete eradica tion you can rely on Hood's Sarsaparilla The best of all medicines for all humors. How It Cures Diseases of the Lungs Here is another pitiful case. He had all the history of colds and catarrh, extending downward from the nose to the throat, the glottis, to windpipe, to the bronchial tubes, and then Into the small tubes of the lungs. His cough always troubled him. He raised large quantities of vile-looking material, he had fever every afternoon, and could not sleep at night. He had no appetite, and his strength and ambition failed. Mr. H. D. Rolidc, Missoula, Mont.: Catarrh, of Head and Throat Cared. Hearing; Restored. He had night sweats every once In a while, and feared that his end was near. See him after a course of treatment. A new man. The healing and soothing medication has time after time sought out every nook of the disease, even to the extreme depth of the lung cells, and bathed and cooled and healed the membranes. There are no more of the nasty discharges, no more cough, no more fever, no more pain, no more night sweats. The appetite returns, and with It comes back strength and ambition. The cheeks fill out and re gain their color. The step becomes buoyant. He has been saved from a lingering and absolutely sure death.
