THU MOENING 0KEGCXNIA2S, TUESDAY, 31 ARCH' 10, 1903. 11 RUSH TO THE WEST Trend -in Eastern States to the Pacific. 300 PEOPLE ARRIVING DAILY Harriraaa Immigration Barcas Al ready Accomplishes Results, Al though, the Movement Has Hardly BeGB. "The trend In tho Eastern States Is toward the Pacific- Over 300 people dally are coming to Oregon- They are rrood people, thrifty people the best people on earth." The foregoing words came last night from William Westerlund, head of a Chi cago firm of land and Immigration agents which works along the lines of the Har rlman system to Oregon. A company of 120 people headed by him has Just arrived in Oregon. "The immigration movement is hardly yet Btarted." said Mr. Westerlund- "As the Spring opens, the number of settlers and homeseekers will grow even more. You sea many new faces on your streets already, don't your The person to whom the Question was addressed admitted the fact, and Mr. Westerlund continued: "This month, on March 17, the home seekers' excursions will begin. They will leave Chicago twice a month. The emi gration westward will bo very great. Most of the newcomers are fanners, who bring with them sufficient means to pur chase farms and establish themselves In comfort. Many of them come to view the new country and to carry back Teports to their friends and neighbors. Very fre quently they are sent out here by asso ciations of Intending settlers." Mr, Westerlund said that of the 120 who came with him, the majority would lo cate permanent homes in Oregon. Most of them came to the Willamette Valley. "Are not most of them Republicans?" was asked. "Yes, the" are; but do you object?" asked Mr. Westerlund. "Oh, no," was the response; "Oregon is a confirmed Republican state, anyhow. But this Immigration Is pretty hard on the Democrats." Mr. Westerlund nodded assent and went on: "Tou will find these newcomers a very superior class of people." "How do they like the climate?" was asked. "The weather has not been so good as we hoped it would be. When we arrived In Eastern Oregon wo encountered snow the first thing. In Western Oregon w encountered cold rain. We are told that good weather ruled over tho state until several days ago " Mr. Westerlund said that the Harrlman Immigration Bureau was distributing in the East 3000 pamphlets on Oregon every day. This work was undeniably bringing highly satisfactory results. AMERICAN BOWLED OVER Driven Oat of Cores. Jby Intrigues of Japan and Russia. WASHINGTON, March 9. The short notice from Pekln of the resignation by William H. Binds, a son of Rear-Admiral Sands of the United States Navy, of his position as adviser to the-Corean govern ment, marks the development of another phase of the struggle that has been going on quietly but Incessantly between Rus sia and Japan to control the policies of Core a. Mr. Sands was appointed secre tary of the legation at Seoul during President McKinley's first administration. In 1899 he was Induced to accept the post of adviser to the Corean government, succeeding two Americans who had been eminently successful In the same position, Messrs. Legendre and Greathouse. Not long ago the Japanese government, desiring to Increase Its influence in Corea, sent to that -country a Mr. Kato, skilled In diplomacy and finances. Very soon he had succeeded In connecting him self with the department of agriculture and then became an adviser to the gov ernment, displacing Mr. Sands, whose Influence had waned. Tha Russian government, which had been watching developments closely, at this Juncture sent to Seoul a Mr. Alex androvltch, also a financier and a man skilled in Oriental ways. He had been for some time stationed in Japan and was acquainted thoroughly with Corean methods, being a former resident in Corea. It is Intended that he. too. shall become an adviser to the Corean gov ernment, restoring the balance of govern ment, which was destroyed by the ap pointment of the Japanese adviser. In violation. It Is said, of an agreement en tered Into about five years ago between Japan and Russia. Mr. Sands will come directly home. ORIENT TDG-OF-WAR IX COREA. Russian and Japanese Influence Are Alternately In Control. TOKIO, Feb. 21, via - San Francisco, March 8. (Correspondence of the Asso ciated Press.) The first bank note diffi culty which threatened serious complica tions between Corea and Japan had hard, ly been settled with the back-down of Corea, owing to the firm attitude of Japan, when another complication arose. This took the form of a Russian demand for a concession to lay the projected railway between Seoul and Wiju. a purely strategi cal line. The concession to lay the Seoul- Fusan Railway had been granted Japan. The demand naturally excited considerable Indignation in Japan, though some publi cists profess that it was merely made as a diplomatic "bluff" to forestall a possible demand by Japan for the same privilege as a quid pro quo for the late first bank note prohibition. However that may he, it Is announced today that Corea has rejected the Russian demand. The Incident Is another piece of evidence that "Corea is the storm center of the Far East, and It will require the keenest watchfulness on the part of rep resentatives of all the powers to main tain peace. It Is understood that Dr. Allen, the United States Minister at Seoul, has considerable influence with the court, though at the present moment an Alsatian woman by birth and a Russian by sympa thies Is said to exert most potent sway over the Emperor. YI Tong Ik, who was recently discredited at the court and later reinstated In his former office. Is believed to have strong pro-Russian leanings and a proportionate anti-Japanese bias. These rumors must, however, be received with reserve, and It is notoriously difficult to penetrate the mysteries of the perpetual Intrigues going on in the Seoul court- Hls Imperial Highness Prince Komatsu. an "adopted" uncle of the Mikado, passed away Wednesday. AVAITIXG FOR CHAMI1ERLAIX. Legislation In Parliament All De pends on His Advice. NEW YORK. March S.-Mr. Chamber lain return is anxiously awaited, ca bles the London representative of the Tribune. So far as the actual business is concerned, tho government Is almost at a standstill in Parliament because the Colo nial Secretary, who is the mainspring of the Cabinet, must be consulted before any leading Hots of legislative programme can be Introduced and before Mr. Ritchie can put the finishing touches bn his bud get. It Is evident from the speeches deliv ered by Mr. Chamberlain In South Africa that certain ifrants win have "to be made, -which were not anticipated when he left England last November, and -the Chancel lor of the Exchequer must make provision Sor them In his budget. The insn iana bill will Involve & his demand upon the public purse, and it is only natural that the covernment should desire to consuii Its strong man on the policy to be em bodied In that measure before it is intro duced in the House of Commons. The result of the Indulgence wnicn the members are now enjoying will be a con gestion of work at the end of the session, and a liberal use of the cloture to stop discussion. POPE GIVES LIE TO ALARMISTS. He Denies Report of Unfriendly Re lations "With Prance. Tnxrv -Vnrrh 9. The Done this morn ing received Cardinal Perraud, Bishop of Autun, France, In audience, thua contra dicting the alarming rumors which bad again been circulated regarding his health. His holiness, in ine course -01 trus morn ings audience, said to Cardinal Perraud that he hoped the- relations between' France and the Holy See would continue to improve, for they were not so bad as the enemies of the church wlshed. The tioDe durine tha afternoon received in separate audiences five cardinals who are leaving R.ome, now that the Jubilee celebrations are over. He will receive to morrow a delegation of British Catholics, headed by the Duke of NorroiK. Thn annnlnfmmt nf n e nndltltor "to the archbishop of St. Louis will not be- made for a fortnight or so. OXX.Y HAS STUBBORN COLD. Worst Symptom of Pope I Disorder of Digestive Organs. PARIS, March 9. A special dispatch from Rome says a correspondent has ob tained an interview with a prelate at tached to the "Vatican, showing the real state of the pope's health. "The recep tion of 5000 pilgrims yesterday did not fa tigue the pontiff seriously," the corre spondent asserts. "In fact, the audiences and recent solemnities seem to .have hsfi the effect of stimulating tho vital forces of the man. His chief sources of fatigue have been the giving of long private audiences and serious wprk with the cardinals and of the Vatican. "The only thing the matter with the pope is a rather stubborn cold, which can not be expected to be entirely cured be fore a fortnight. It is only then that Dr. Lapponi can form an opinion as to the pope's weakness, the result of which may be fatal. Although it has been denied, the symptom which is causing Dr. Lapponi the greatest anxiety recently Is a slight disorder of tho digestive and intestinal functions. For the present the catarrh with which the pope has been suffering is slowly but continually improving." JOHN BULL IS JEALOUS. American Invasion Gobble Titbit of Ills Colonial Trade. NEW YORK, March 9. The development of American 'trade In the British colonies is watched with Jealous eyes by many people in this country, says a London dis patch to the Tribune. Complaints are raised that Americans have of late mo nopolized the markets of Malta for flour and oil to the disadvantage of British trade. Formerly these articles reached Malta from London, Liverpool and Hull, but the cheaper prices quoted from New York have ousted seriously the British goods. This result Is attributed to the di rect steamship service inaugurated last year. The outlook In connection with the Ca nadian trade is an engrossing subject of discussion In Bristol. At an early date the Canadian Pacific Railway will. It Is said, open a branch office there, and it is understood that the Grand Trunk line will follow It, so that the port will soon re ceive attention to an unprecedented degree from two rival organizations of far-reach ing influence.

Abandoned Steamer SncU. NEW YORK. March 9. The mysterious steamer which tho Sloraan liner Pisa says she sank in the Atlantic on February 6, was without doubt the Belgian ship Mar kelyne. which sailed from New Orleans on December 31. and Newport News on January 7. for Antwerp. She became un manageable on January 24, 3ll of her fires having been extinguished by water, which flooded the stokehole and, engine room.

It Waits Upon Beard ef-Education and Represents Necessity ef Mere . Accommodations for Pnplls. People in the neighborhood of East Twenty-eighth street want "a new school house. A committee from the sub-Board of Trade in that region, whfch waited upon the Board, of Education At Its meet ing last" evening stated that 225 children, beside the Inmates of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, numbering 40 of school age, were in that rapidly-growing -vicinity, and that the younger ones could not" walk to the nearest .schools. An Investigation will be. made . and improved school service granted if necessary. The committee was composed of Dr.- W liuam Deveny and G. Heitkemper. and the long-haired doctor acted as spokesman. Between East Twenty-eighth and East Thirty-third streets and the Sandy and Base Line roads the population has grown so rapidly, according to the committee, that the nearest schools could not accommodate the children and they were forced to attend more .distant schools. The nearest schoolhouse is the North Central, almost a mile away, and as this is crowded many "children must walk still further to the Central and the Sunnyslde. The distance to these build ings is too great for the smaller children anu many have not attended school for this reason. Herman Wittenberg said that he Tmew of the conditions in that neighborhood and thought that the matter should be se riously considered. "That country Is grow ing wonderfully and there are certainly a lot more children than a year ago," said the director. "Indeed there is," said Mr. Helutemper, "from my porch I can count 0 new houses going up and 1 neach one there will be a family." "When Mr. Strowbridge. was on the board we tried to get a schoolhouse out there and he promised to help us, but no building has ever been put up and the necessity has greatly increased," urged Dr. Deveny. After a discussion as to the need of a schoolhouse in that vicinity City Super intendent Frank Rlgler was instructed to ascertain the number of children in the neighborhood, and tho two men, both of whom were anxious for a schoolhouse, but neither of whom sent children to any of the schools mentioned, went away satis fied. Dr. Deveny lives In Montavllla, but has property near East Twenty-eighth street. W- H. Goddard presented a petition from the people hear the Highland School ask ing that' the basement of the building might be used to hold an entertainment, through which It was expected that the school children might be . Interested In cleaning up the grounds and the streets near the school. Mr. Goddard made a verbal request, to this effect and it was allowed. After outside business had been disposed of, however. School Clerk H. S. Allen read the formal petition in which the improvement "association, under whoso auspices -e entertainment, will be held, askod to use the room for a regular meet ing place. Chairman Richard Williams had not understood that Mr. Goddard wanted this also, and at once said that school buildings could not be used for purposes not directly connected with the schools. The Highland delegation had left before this, however, but will be told that the matter has been reconsidered. H. M. Coy, the Janitor of the Ockley Green School, reported that new "rooms bad been placed under his care and re quested that his salary be raised from $10 a month to $15 according to the recently adopted xcale of Janitors' wages. Mr. Coy Is an elderly man of true Rip "Van Winkle appearance, with flowing beard and all complete. . "He looks like Rip Van Winkle, but he's done a lot -of work out there and I think he should have the raise," said one of the directors In an undertone to the chair man. Accordingly the board decided that the Janitor was entitled to the higher pay from last October. Suddenly there was a telephone call for Mr. Rlgler. "All right, I'll be. up there quick." replied he- "Is the first round over? How is It going?" cried the direc tors with one voice, lor they had not for gotten that a red-hot prizefight was about to begin. "As I understand that you gentlemen wish to attend the mill I. think, the meet ing had better adjourn," said Chairman- Williams. Mr. Rlgler haa aireaay so journed and the others hastily followed. Mrs. Sltton. the lady member of the board, has not been present for several meetings on account of sickness and the sessions are taking on the appearance of a stag party. As the directors left the City Hail each shyly kept an eye on the others as ho went around a different corner, for a prizefight has attractions for even such dignified persons as School Directors. BOOKS ON BIRDS. Public Library Opens Special De partment of Ornltkologry. Bold, impudent English sparrows and other feathered Inhabitants of the air making their Winter home In Portland have been' Industriously hanging around the Portland Public Library for some time past, arousing considerable specula tion by their persistent twittering, and mnnv small bos's have audibly wondered why the birds have evinced such a sud den admiration for the library building. nn.fact was easily settled. The birds could not he received as members of the Hhrnrv. however strong tneir political "pull" might be. So It was decided that these domestic friends would not cease 1 their lndlcnation meetings until a special department pertaining to bird lore was devoted to them In the Library build ing. This was done yesterday through the kindness and happy thought of Miss Mary Frances" Isom, the librarian, and Ross Nicholas and H. Bohlan, members of the John Burroughs Society. Photographs of different birds will be mounted and placed on one of tho li brary bulletins, and on other bulletins will be given a list of books concerning the habits of birds. Some of these books are in the circulation department, and can be taken home, while other books may be consulted In the reference department. Yesterday people admired several inter esting photographs, received from Mr. Bohlan. which were on view on a bulletin board in the lending department of the library- A mother bird is depicted in the act of feeding one of her young, while a little chick, with his expectant mouth open, stands near her, as If saying: "Next, please." Another photograph shows a collection of birds all In a line, regarding the spec tator with ludicrous gravity. Affixed to the same board is a list, drawn up by Mr. Nicholas and Mr. Bohlan, showing- the periods at which different birds migrate to Oregon. For Instance, the list says that our feathered visitors this month will be: Western bluebirds, violet green swallows. Audubon's warblers. Rufous humming birds, GambeTs sparrows. West ern yellow throats and Hermit thrushes. The Western blue birds ought to be here today If they have not arrived. The other visitors "on the list" are due to arrive all the way up to March 31. Our visitors next month will be: Lutescent warblers- Western chipping sparrows, russet-backed thrushes. Cassius vircc, and Macgilliway's warblers. In May we can expect: Bullock's orioles. Parkman'a wrens, and Louisiana's tanigers. These bulletins will be renewed from time to time, as the seasons change. Bird lovers were greatly interested In tho selection of boo lis on bird life, shown bv Miss Xspm In a stand near the "main office desk, and as soon as this iecome known to the public it is- safe to say that the new department will be liberally patronized. Arrangements are now completed at. the library to issue applications to those resi dents of Multnomah County who wish to become library members "and borrow .books,. . CONCESSIONS BY TURKEY RecesrHlJtes American Medical Diplo mas Naturalisation of Armenians. ' CONSTANTINOPLE, March 9. The United States Legation has finally oh-talned-offlclal recognition of the examina tion at the American Medical College, Bayreuth, on the' same llnesasr the French examinations, and also -the settlement of the long pending question affecting the rights " of wives and children of Ar menians who have become naturalises Americans to .leave the empire They are now able tqjo!n their husbands and fathers in the United States without hin drance. The Council of Ministers has agreed to recognize the American educa tional, charitable and Tellglous establish ments and they are now awaiting Im perial approval. It Is expected that authority wilhshortly be given to the American archeologist. Mr. Banks, to undertake excavatloifs at j Ttl-Abraham, Mesopotamia, the supposed site of the tomb ot Abraham. Mr. Banks has been waiting here for this 'permission for three years. POINTS YIELDED IMPORTANT. Families of .Armenian Immigrants May No tv Join Them. WASHINGTON. March 9. The State Department has not been fully, informed of the concessions obtained from the Turk ish government by Mr. Lelshman, as re ported from Constantinople. The Turkish government has up to this declined to rec ognise medical diplomas or even those Is sued to graduates from American Insti tutions in Turkey, a fact which naturally greatly diminished their usefulness. A more Important concession from a humanitarian point Is that respecting the wives and. children of naturalized Arme nians. The Turkish government hereto fore held, that the wife of a Turkish citi zen who is naturalized In America, does not by that act become herself an Ameri can. International law admits the right of the woman to share the conditions of her husband and, while our Government has not set up the claim that under our laws the wife becomes naturalized by the husband's act. yet it has contended that, under the principle of the International law above referred to, the Turkish gov ernment was not Justified In detaining these, women In Turkey. As for the child ren, even under our own law they could not be claimed as American citizens un less they were actually residents in Amer ica when their father was naturalized, therefore the concession of the Turkish government on these, points is consider able. The recognition of American education al, charitable and religious establishments will greatly enlarge their usefulness and add much to their security, for there Is no question of their claim-to military protec tion from the Turkish government, if they are threatened in times of-riot FRANCIS IN BERLIN.

The Emperor treated Mr. Francis with great distinction. He received him pri vately, not even Ambassador Tower, who arranged for the Interview, nor any mem ber of the imperial household", -.being present. The Emperor asked many ques tions about the exposition and was espe cially Interested in the international con gress of arts and sciences. His Majesty remarked that expositions did as much for a better understanding between one country and another as years of diplo macy. Tho conversation traversed many sub jects and had lasted 60 minutes when the Emperor rose to go. Some allusion hav ing been made to His Majesty's letter to Admiral von Hollmann on the Babylo nian origin of the Bible, and to Houston Stewart Chamberlain's work on "The Foundations of Nineteenth Century Civ ilization," the Emperor sent for a copy of Mr. Chamberlain's two-volume work, wrote his name on a flyleaf and present ed the books, to Mr. Francis.

Kaslarkln and Immotanic Kowish, made a general round-up of all their horses last Fall and incidentally gathered In Joshua's best animal, noted all the country round for his fleetness of foot. Immotanic was a lawabldlng Indian, and remonstrated at this unprincipled act stating that the animal belonged to Joshus. Kaslarkln, however. Insisted that the horse was his own. and thus the trouble commenced. Jim Joshua missed his horse- The trail of the thieving brethren had not yet grown cold, when the Injured man, mounted on the best horse remaining- ln his band, followed ir hot pursuit. The result was the arrest ot Kowish. Kaslarkln and Immotanic. Their preliminary examination was con ducted In Pendleton by Deputy United States District Attorney Edwin Mays. Immotanic was discharged, as he could not be connected with the theft. Kowisb and Kaslarkln will be brought to Port land by Deputy United States Marshal Al Roberts, where they will be held sub- Ject to appearance before the grand Jury i of the United States Court j Permanent Exhibit Committee Meets. - The permanent exhibit committee held a meeting yesterday, and will meet again 1 today. The chief subject under consld-! -eration is the removal of- the exhibit. The rooms at 216 Washington street will have to be given up next month, and where to go is a serious question with the committee. An arrangement will probably be made with tha Chamber of Commerce for room for the exhibit. The Chamber of Commerce will also have to : aove Its quarters next month.

Dl Meyer, of the" Park Commission,' and Charles L.

It is proposed to organize a band of 33 pieces, and Mr. Brown says he will have. 85 of the best military -band players In the city, "and will be able to furnish music ot a. high order. Thirty concerts will be given between. June 15 and September 1. On Sunday aft ernoons a concert will be given at the City - Park On Wednesday and Friday nights concerts will he given either at the Piazza Blocks, the Park School Blocks, near the Federal building, or in Holladay Park, on the East- Side. The members of tho Park Commission have taken an Interest in the work, and will act as custodian of the funds. "Free, music in our parks Is a luxury long overdue in the City of Portland," said Mr. Brown last night. "Every muni cipality of this size in the United, States enjoys free music but us. Xt is not only a pleasure "for the people, but an educa tion. "Since the members of the Park Com mission have taken an Interest In the work, I believe this attempt will be suc cessful. Three years ago I tried this same thing. It was necessary at that time to raise $3000. After working on the matter for several months, I managed to raise 51500. but could not get beyond that point The money was all given back to the subscribers, and the attempt given up. Last yeartan attempt was -made, but It also failed. The Park Commissioners, I believe, will make it a success. They are hard up for funds, but have given all they can "We shall expect to raise this money by popular subscription, and shall expect people of all classes to contribute. Busi ness men will he called upon and can be expected to respond. But tho young fel lows must not depend upon their employ era to do It all. The young people will get the greatest amount of pleasure out of It Young men will have a pleasant place to spend the afternoons with their lady friends. Wo expect all of the young men to give amounts ranging from 50 cents to to, as they can afford. "From the labor unions we expect a liberal support In this matter.- The la boring people of this city have been standing for advancement and have come to the front In many matters. Now is a time that they can truly show their sincerity. For their benefit as much as any one Is the effort made, and we shall expect a liberal support from organized labor. Mr. Brown stated further that he would start taking the subscriptions at once. He thinks he will have little or no trou ble In raising tho money. The amount given by tha Park Commissioners and, uioi gj.jcv;icu iiuiu uie sireet-car com panies will make nearly half the amount and the other half will come in smaller amounts. CREW TO BE AMERICANS.

Mr. Fiala. who Is to head the expedition, expects me to push the America as far north as possible and If we, are at all favored, I hope to skim along until we have reached a point equal to that reached by the Duke d'Ab ruzzi.
