Newspaper Page Text3 WANTS NO CHANGES!? Washington Stueet, y) Comet Fifth. 13 Olds, Wotftman & King Itinerary of the President Is Finally Fixed. THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY. MARCH 21, 1903. MILLINERY Have Yot a Suitable Hat If Tomorcow Is Btighi ? SEATTLE HAKES OBJECTION Asks Him to Shorten Trip on Sound and Lengthen Stay in City He May Visit Pendleton Plans for Visit to Yellowstone Pa.rU. OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 20. President Roosevelt's itinerary, aa announced last Monday, is for all practical purposes now said to be final. In recent conferences with rail road officials who will have charge of the trip It was found that the schedule laid down was thoroughly practicable, and for this reason there is objection to any ma terial changes. For several days people of Seattle have been pouring In telegrams upon the Pres ident and upon the delegation urging that the President either devote an additional day to "Washington or very materially cur tail his trip on Puget Sound, omitting Everett and Bremerton, if need be. They fear that if the President visits these two points after leaving Tacoma he will not reach Seattle until late Saturday night, but Senator Foster assures the President there need be no fear on this account. The President told the Sen ator today that he was very anxious to see the navy-yard, but, if his trip there would materially delay his arrival in Se attle, he would abandon It Ho intends, however, to go as far north as Everett, where he will make his scheduled stop before going to Seattle. The President said it was utterly Impossible to spend an additional day In Washington, as re quested, for that would interfere with the balance of his trip, and, after making so many promises, he could not authorize the change. Senators Fulton and Mitchell today called on the President again to ask that he make a short visit to Pendleton on his way to "Walla Walla on May 23. They pointed out that he could leave the North ern Pacific at Pasco and go by the Hunt road , to Pendleton, stopping half an hour or so, and then proceeding to "Walla Walla. They said the side trip would add about 50 miles to his route and would greatly please the people of East ern Oregon. The President promised to consider the matter carefully, and, if he finds he can do so without materially in tefcring with his visit to Walla Walla, where he is to be Senator Ankeny's guest, ho will include Pendleton in his itinerary. He will advise the Senators tomorrow of his decision. "WILL ROUGH IT "WITH SOLDIERS. Ho vr Roosevelt AVI II Spend Time In Yellowstone Park. FORT YELLOWSTONE, National Park. March 20. According to Major Pitcher, most of President Roosevelt's two weeks of rest and recreation in the Yellowstone National Park will be spent in the little cabins of the soldiers, surrounded by deep snowdrifts; In fact, the President of the United States will share the simple fare of his soldiers. Localities where the President will rest are wild to the ex treme. Elk, deer and bear can be seen within a minute's walk from the military cabins. The snow has barely commenced to melt in April, and a greater part of the trips of the President to -various points of interest will have to be made on enowshoes. Major Pitcher's advices are that tho President's special will remain at Living ston, and not at Cinnabar, as first an nounced, and that, accompanied only by Dr. Rixcy, the Surgeon-General of tho Navj't and John Burroughs, the famous naturalist and poet, the President will enter tho park for his long stay there, emerging only on April 24. He will, travel, so Major Pitcher is informed, to all the chief points of interest. To do this ho will go part of the way on norseback, and trails will be broken for him through tho snow for that purpose, but there are long stretches, miles in length, where he can go only on snowshoes. Major Pitcher has been directed to have two sets of enov "hoes In readiness In a sleigh, one for i.,e President and one for Mr. Bur roughs, so it is Inferred that Dr. Rlxey will go only part way. A very limited number of soldiers, two or three, will ac company tho President as orderlies and messengers. Through men nnd through relays at the various patrol stations, tho President will bo kept In dally communication with the remainder of his party. A telegraph line will bo stretched into the Presidential train at Livingston, where an executive office, directed by Secretary Loeb, will be established. . Tho Presidential party will faro exactly as do tho soldiers who patrol the reserve. Tho President will get no better shelter than the little cabins erected for the shelter of tho patrolling troopers. Each little cabin contains a bunk, a stove, a supply of fuel, some bacon, beans, coffee, tea and a few other necessaries.

Officials of the Mormon Church have arranged to make a powerful appeal to Governor Odell for the pardon of luiam Hooper Younir. njw serving a life sentence In Sing Sinir. says the American. Lawyer William S. Hart will present a petition to Governor Ocell. asking the appointment of a com mission to make inquiry Into the sanity or l oung. SALT LAKE CITY, March 20. "If any move Is being made toward securing the release of Hooper Young from Sing Sing," said Secretary Gibbs. of the First Presi dency of the Mormon Church, today, "it is from outside the church. No such move has been taken or Is even con templated by the First Presidency. Even if he were a member of the church, which he Is not, this action would not be taken. But Hooper Young was severed from the church years ago for immorality." ORIENT AT THE FAIR. Barrett Returns and Tells of Hlfrhly Successful Mission. NEW YORK. March 20. John Barrett. Commissioner-General of the St. Louis Exposition, was among the passengers on the White Star steamer Cedrlc. which ar rlved today. Mr. Barrett eald to the As sociated Press correspondent: "I return after an absepce of a year in which I have traveled 40,000 miles, mak ing a circuit of tho world, vlsitlnc 15 countries, soliciting participation in the exposition with such success that, now my mission Is over, I feel much gratified at Its extent. "China. Japan and Corea will show -wonderful Interest in the exposition. China had decided not to exhibit, but after con siderable urging sho has consented to take part, and an appropriation of SOO.OOO yen waa made with that view. The Orient had been reluctant to take the matter up at first In fact, viewing the affair with apathy: but after all the work of months I can say that the interest has so awak ened that America will be cstonisnea at the result. Asia will be represented In its true aspect, giving its Industries, re sources and products, and not in a spec tacular sense, as was evidenced in the so called attractions of tho Chicago midway. 'The Orient is awakening and I look for marvelous results of a material na ture. The countries of Asia feel that this Is a country where they want to come, and one with which they wish to connect for the benefit of trade and commercial relations. Thousands of educated and in telligent Chinese and Japaneso will visit the fair. Ceyl6n, Java, tho French colonics In Asia, India and others also will exhibit. On my way home I attended the durbar In India, and, while there, took occasion to interest many of the Indian Princes and potentates In the fair. I vis ited France. Holland and England to ar range for the participation of their East ern colonies, such as Ceylon, Java, Ton quln and others." REPLY TO ARGENTINA. Hay Recalled Definition of Monroe ism, and Advised Arbitration. WASHINGTON, March 20. The text of the response of Secretary Hay to the Argentine note proposing combined action of American states to resist the collec tion of debts by naval force was made public today. It Is as follows: "Memoradum: Without expressing as sent or dissent from the proposition set forth in tho note of tho Argentine Min ister of Foreign Relations, dated Decem ber 29, 1S02, the position of the' United States is indicated In recent messages of the President. "The President declared in his message to Congress, December, 1902. that by the Monroe Doctrine 'we do not guarantee any state against punishment if it mis conducts Itself, provided that punishment does not take tho form of acquisition of territory by any non-American power.' "In harmony with the foregoing lan guage the President announced in his message of December 2. 1902: " 'No independent nation in America need have the slightest fear of aggres sion from the United States. It behooves each one to maintain order within Its own borders and to discharge its Just obliga tion to foreigners. "When this Is done, it can rest assured that, be they strong or weak, they have nothing to dread from outside interference. "Advocating and adhering In practice, in questions concerning itself, to the re sort to international arbitration in settle ment of controversies, not adjustable by the orderly course bf diplomatic negotia tions, the Government of the United States will always be glad to see ques tions of Justice by one state against an other, as well as guarantees for the execu tion of whatever award might be made, left to the decision of an impartial arbi tration tribunal before which litigating nations, weak or strong alike, may stand as equals In the eye of international law and mutual duty."

British Colonial Secretary Predicts Union in South Africa Friend ship Is Fruit of War. LONDON, March 20. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain today received the City of London's congratulations on his mission to South Africa in the Guild Hall. -where Lord Mayor Samuel and the corporation presented him with on address of welcome In the presence of a large gathering of distinguished representatives of politics, tho services, art, science, the church, the law and the drama. Among those pres ent were Premier Balfour, most of the Cabinet Ministers, tho Archbishop of Can terbury, Lord Roberts, the Duke of Fife, the Duke of Argyll. Lord Strathcona, Lord Lister, Slgnor Marconi, Sir Thomas Lipton and Sir Henry Irving. Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain received a remarkable welcome from the expectant crowds, who in their enthusiasm here and there broke through the police lines and surrounded the carriage. The Lord May or, Lady Mayoress and the corporation officers met Mr. and Mm Chamberlain la the library, "where a procession was formed, headed by trumpeters, and pro ceeded to the Guild Hall, in which the address eulogizing the Secretary's serv ice In South Africa was prsented. Great enthusiasm greeted Mr. Chamberlain on his rising to reply. The Secretary's speech was largely a reiteration of his recent speech at Southampton. He said he was convinced that everything was en train for a united South Africa under the British flag. "In the -words of my friend General Delarey." said Mr. Chamberlain, "the Boer leaders will be as loyal to their new government as they were to the old." The Secretary added that he found no trace among the British in South Africa of a vindictive feeling against the Boers. Ho expressed his admiration of the digni fied way in which the burghers accepted the result of the appeal to arms, and con tinued: "The only fruit which we desire from the war is the friendship of those who were so recently fighting us." The conciliatory spirit displayed in this sentence pervaded the entire speech. Subsequently Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlain were entertained by the Lord Mayor at luncheon in the- Mansion House. Among the guests at the Mansion House were Ambassador Choate and the Marquis de Soveral, the Portuguese Minister, be sides those already mentioned as being present at the Guild Hall. After the usual loyal toasts the Lord Mayor toasted Mr. and Mrs. Chamber lain. The Secretary received a great ovation when he rose to respond. He said the Lord Mayor had Justly associated with his name that of his wife. Of his personal obligations to her, that was not the time to speak. Her kindness, sym pathy and interest had made friends where he himself might have failed. He thought It was impossible to over estimate the effort of personal inter course with the colonists on imperial relations and. if imperial Interests were to be put in the foreground In the future and the comfort of Secretaries of State treated as of secondary importance, he hoped his experiment would be repeated from time to time by those who would succeed him. The present was a critical period In the history of the empire and the course taken now by the empire and j the colonies would probably settle for all i time tho question whether the empire iwas to be consolidated and maintained , or whether it was to disintegrate Into j separate atoms, each caring only for its own local needs. He thought the colo nies hardly adequately appreciated all j that was due from them as members of ! the empire. There was the need to infuse into them the new conception of the empire. This was of a voluntary organl ; zation based on a community of interests ! and sacrifices, all of which should bring j contributions to the common good. A great empire based on these new prin ciples was not to be considered or estab l llshed in months or even years. But the I eagerness shown by the colonies one and an in masing personal and pecuniary sac rifices for the motherland in time of stress encouraged hope for the future, if the motherland herself was true to this great, inspiring mission. The Premier, in toasting the Lord Mayor, paid a few words of tribute to Mr. Chamberlain, saying that never in the history of mankind had so great a result been achieved in so brief a period of time.

The American and Chinese Commissioners have resumed their treaty negotiations, the Americans having withdrawn their objections in which they refused to negotiate unless the Chinese Commissioners were granted j fuller powers.
