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.

Mormons Repudiate Hini.
NEW YORK. March 30. Officials of the

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.

C03IMERCE .WITH CHINA.
Terms of American Treaty Which
Mongolians Hesitate to Accept.
SHANGHAI. March 20. 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. The Japanese Commlsslon-
era are restive at the slowness and the
barren results of the negotiations, due to
Chinese Indifference.
The American commercial treaty, which
has just been banded to the Chinese Com
missioners, stipulates that Pekln. Mukden
and Takusan. near the Yalu River, be
opened In. the manner that the treaty
ports are opened. It provides for the
safeguarding of commercial interests in
Manchuria, and for the abolition of the
Llkin tax and all native customs stations,
excepting those on the frontier. It pro
vides also that the tax on imports shall
be 10 per cent; that no further taxes, shall
be Imposed on exports, the maximum be
ing 74 per cent; that there shall be no
Interference with the Chinese tax on their
own goods; that no tax shall be imposed
upon salt or opium when these products
are declared at the customs stations; that
the taxes on these commodities be collect
ed at the places of production, and that
Americans have the right to obtain min
ing lands anywhere in China. Provision
Is made in the treaty for the protection
of trademarks and copyright.
It is reported that the Russian financial
adviser has been appointed a member of

NEW YORK. March 20. Interesting side

to the Tribune. According to letters re
ceived by President Sarafoff, of the rev
olutionary bands In Macedonia, and by
Dlmltri Lapoff, who acts as his agent here,
the Insurgents have decided to postpone
a general movement and await develop
ments. However, the revolutionists intend to
drag Europe by the nose Into Interfer
ence In the affairs of Macedonia. M. Lapoff
admitted that the Turks were controlling
themselves and acting under better dis
cipline than formerly, and for this reason
he said It would be a waste of men and
ammunition to institute a general uprising
slpce the representatives of the powers
would say that the revolutionists would
not allow the Turks to Introduce reforms'.
He added, significantly, that when Eu
rope had turned her eyes elsewhere and
the Turk had begun to laugh in his sleeve
over his success In again outwitting the
powers and was repeating his old tactics,
the revolutionary bands would resume
operations and harass him in the hope of
creating another crisis and producing a
moral shock to the civilized world.
have practically decided in favor of a
preferential reduction of 23 per cent of the
duty on goods from Great Britain and the
Colonies, as well as the according of re

ficiency of native labor, the conference
was In favor of the Immigration of Asiat

would provide for the indenting and the
repatriation of tho laborers.
