April II The Investigation of af fairs In the Postoffice Department Is like ly to continue for some time, as the In spectors under General Brlstow have been Instructed to run down every charge that Is filed; to determine whether or not the officials arraigned are guilty. While the attacks Just now center on A. W. Machen. Superintendent of Free Delivery, several bureaus of the department are under In vestigation, including not only the sal aries and allowance 'division, from which Mr. Beavers resigned, but the Rail way Mall Service, Law Office and other bureaus. Postmaster-General Fayno will probably have nothing more to say until the Investigations are concluded beyond Jllr' siateaneiU of yesterday. It charged by a number of business firms that Mr, llachen furnished advance information to certain manufacturers of rural mall boxes and rural mall wagons which enabled them to enter the field ahead of their competitors, and procure contracts In ad vance of the establishment ot routes. Loan From mi Appointee. Another ugly charge brought up against llachen Is to the effect that several yearn ago he accepted a loan of money In con sideration of an appointment In the postal service. It was alleged that a woman ap plied to him for a position and some tlrao later some friends of Machen called on the woman and secured for llachen the loan of J30Q. The woman subsequently was appointed to a position In the rural service and after serving elsewhere finally became a clerk In the department here. After several endeavors she secured. It Is said, repayment of the loan. Machen says he recalls the case, but brands the story as false. Public men familiar with conditions here have been saying that Machen's resigna tion or transfer Is necessary for the good of the service and for reasonable disci pline If for no other moUve. Machen. however, is firmly holding his ground and making vigorous denial of all charges af fecting his official or personal record. He has repeatedly declared that he will not resign. Man to Succeed Tjrner. The disclosures of Improper conduct In the kgal division of the department have creatlfJV vacancy In the office of Asslst-antAttorney-General. which will doubt less l,bffflled very soon. The position pays' WCO a year, and Is regarded as a good stepping-stone to higher political preferment. Senator Lodge, of Massa chusetts, had a long conference today with Mr. Payne and urged the appoint ment of one of his constituents. Payne announced tonight that there would be no changes, pending the close bf the Inves tigation. The Postmaster-General will also have the appointment of a permanent superin tendent of the division of salaries and allowances, a position that pays MOOO a year. The subordinates in the depart ment have already put forward John D. King for that position and. because be Is from Wisconsin, his appointment Is con fidently predicted. But King's close as sociation In the past with officials now un der fire will provoke very stout opposi tion. Mew Charge Against Beavers. Additional charges have been filed at the department against Beavers, recenUy su perintendent of the salaries and allow ances, alleging that he was the agent of the Postal Clerks' Union in getting legis lation from Congress for increasing the salaries ot Its members. The inspectors are numerous at the de partment, and their reports have neces sitated an addlUon to the .usual steno graphic force of the Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General's office. Inspector Fosnes. ex-Director-General of Posts of Cuba, and one of Mr. BrU tow's chief as sistants In conducting the Inquiry, was engaged today In the Investigation of the Free Delivery Bureau. Inspector Thorpe, of New York, who has Just returned to that city. Is working on a detail here, and Is believed to be looking Into the charges affecting the recent readjutxnent of sal aries and allowances for postal clerks In New Tork City. AILES WILL BE A BANKER. President Regrets Loss of Assistant Secretary of Treasury. WASHINGTON, April lt-MUton Alles. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, will sever his connection with the department tomorrow to accept the vice-presidency of the Rlggs National Bank of Washing ton. Following Is President Ttoosevelt's letter accepting his resignation: "White House. Washington. March St. 1S03. My Dear Mr. Alles: I shall be away when your resignation comes In, and I snail asic you ,to. consider this letter as ac cepting It. in advance. X trust I need not assure you ot the very; great regret I feel at your going. Of course. I understand that you cannot. In Justice to yourself, refuse such an offer as has been made you. but both the Secretary and myself feel your going" as" a personal loss to us as well as to the service." REPAIRS TO TUB XEW MAINE. So Structural Weakness, lint Snp ' ports of Turrets Are Weak. "WASHINGTON. April lt-At the re quest of the Secretary or the Navy. Ad miral Bowles, the chief constructor, has prepared the following statement of the nature ot the repairs to be made to the Maine: "The officers who have, examined the turrets ot the Maine have found that the damage consists largely intfae loosening up aua oreaung 01 xasinmngs ana nveis, and Is In no respect duetto general struc tural weakness ot the ship. The supports under the roller are of the usual construc tion, being built up of plates and angles. Since the date of the design of the Maine. however, the use of smokeless powder with high pressure guns has been adopted, and the recoils allowed have been short ened. Both ot these Improvements, while desirable of themselves, have greatly In creased the strain on the supporting struc ture, which in actual test of firing has proved Inadequate. "Were It not for the great weight of the revolving part of the turret, amount ing to over 400 tons, the fitting of the ad ditional stiffening In the supports, which has been decided to be necessary, would not be very elaborate work, but owing to tho great superincumbent weight which must be supported and the Inaccessibility ot the parts. It Is anticipated that the re pairs will take some time. The deforma tions ot the deck in the vicinity of cer tain six-Inch guns, due to the same gen eral cause, are much less important, and can be easily remedied. "The chief constructor considers that no blame can be attached to She" contractors for the Maine, as there wis no evidence whatever of defective workmanship." Captain Eugene 11. Luetz, commanding the Maine, arrived here today and report ed the condition ot bis ship, as shown by her Caribbean cruise, "There Is no structural weakness In the Maine." said Captain Luetz. "Her con duct was quite satisfactory, except for the Insecurity of the emplacements ot the six Inch guns. This can be remedied easily, and will be done." BALDWIN CALLED TO ACCOUNT. General Accused of Disparaging PHI ptno suit Negro Soldiers. WABhiNGTON. April U The War De partment has taken official cognizance of the reported statements of General Frank D. Baldwin, commander bf the Depart ment of the Colorado, In disparagement of the Filipinos and negroes as soldiers, and Secretary Root today -directed that a formal lnqulry.be addressed to General Baldwin, asking whetherVoc nat be had been correctly .quoted, .'ending a. reply, no acttqh will be taken by-the department. General Baldwin Is fresh from the Philip pines, and has Just assumed command of the Department of the Colorado. The alleged remarks which be is alleged to have made are to the effect that one of his reasons for liking the Filipino as a soldier was the same that gave him a preference for the negro In the same ca pacity, that In a fight he was not worried about his safety, as It did not make any difference whether he got killed or not.

The diplo matic exchanges between the United States and Great Britain, which will ap pear In the forthcoming volume of "For eign Relations." show that the United States was very active In Its efforts to secure the release of the Americans taken prisoners of war by the British troops In South Africa during the Boer war.

ATTACKS IIS President of Manufac turers Speaks Out CALLS THEM TYRANNOUS Rejoices in Defeat of Labor Bills in Congress. ASSOCIATION CHEERS HIM Labor Unions Accused of Crime to Maintain Power, Tending Toward Socialism Proposed Measures to Combat Them. The labor Question Is the chief topic of discussion st the convention ot the National Manufacturers Association at New Orleans. ' President ' D. M. Parry sounded the keynote with an assault on labor unions In his opening address. The same sentiments ran through the numerous resolutions which were of fered. a W. Post, of Battle Creek, Mich., proposed a Joint organization ot em ployers and employes to fight the unions. NEW ORLEANS, April H. The first day's session of the annual convention of the National Association of Manufac turers ended without any definite Indica tion as to whether the organisation will adopt as Its own policy an aggressive hos tility to union labor methods as outlined by President D. M. Parry In his annual report Mr. Parry's attitude on the labor quesUon was the chief point of Interest for the delegates, and. It Is declared was the cause for the largest delegate repre sentation In the history of the associa tion. When Mr. Parry was introduced at the morning session be received a remark able ovation. 600 delegates; rising and chcerfftg him. vigorously and repeatedly. His Tcport was Immediately referred to tho committees. At numerous times during the day. In resolutions and speeches, the matter of trades unionism came to the surface, but at no time was there a tesf. vote on which the attitude of the convention was shown. The frequent outbursts of enthusiasm, however, showed Intense feeling on the part of the members of the association, and there was every Indication that the session tomorrow afternoon, when the re port of the resolution committee will be submitted, will prove a live one. After calling attention to the marked growth of the National Association of Manufacturers which now has over 300 members on Its roll, Mr. Parry Immediate ly took up the Question of the battle be tween the manufacturers and organized labor In connection with the eight-hour and anti-conspiracy bills, which were de feated, at the last session of Congress. Referring to this contest, Mr. Parry said: "By Its determined opposition to the passage of the eight-hour and the antl Injunctlon bills this association performed what to my mind was a great public serv ice, the full significance of which Is. per haps, not realized even by many who were foremost In condemning those measures. The roero defeating of these two bills 'does not tell the story. What was done that was much more Important and far reaching was to give an opportune check to socialistic Impulse. It . Is Impossible to hide our eyes to the fact that a large mass of the people, forgetful ot the liber ties and blessings they now enjoy, are with restless ardor striving to force the nation to what must eventually mean In dustrial disaster. If not anarchy and des potism. Growing Power qf Unions. "Organized labor, an army presumably 2,000.000 strong, feeling its strength and exultant over many victories It had won, concluded last Winter that the time was ripe to make Congress engraft upon the statute books of the nation Its sprigs of socialism, legalizing those denials of In dividual rights which It has heretofore sought to enjoin by force. It drew up and fathered the eight-hour and anti-injunction bills, the former of which could well have been entitled 'An act to repeal the bill of rights guaranteeing the freedom of the individual.' and the latter should have been termed 'A bill to legalize strikes and boycotts.' "The Introduction In Congress of such measures as these and the support they received there and from the press and public can only be regarded as ominous manifestations of the deep-seated power of an organization which In late years has had such an Insidious growth that wo find It dominating to a dangerous degree the whole social, political and govern mental systems of the nation. Who can take note of the hundreds ot strikes of the last year, of the many acts of aggression and ruthless violation of principles here tofore held dear by the American people, of the subservient and apologetic tone of many newspapers and public men towards those things, and also of the all too preva lent antagonism toward capital without being Impressed with the gravity of the situation? If organized labor bad suc ceeded In getting Its two bills enacted Into law more measures of a similar char acter would have followed close upon the heels, and we should have found social Ism stealing upon us at a rapid rate. "It Is well that those who would revo lutionize the social order, should at the very Inception of their national programme meet with organized resistance, and It was fortunate that there was an associa tion strong enough to checkmate the In fluence of organized labor this last Win ter, and that at a time when In the full plenitude of Its power It seemed certain of success. This conflict and it was a con flict and a very momentous one deserves to go down In history as the first decisive defeat of the socialistic forces which have of late years bad such surprising growth. "Once thoroughly alive to the true na ture of this un-American Institution of or ganized labor as at present conducted, the people, I firmly believe, will place their stamp ot disapproval upon It and It will dwindle In power fasur than It grew. Perhaps a new form of unionism will take Its place a beneficent unionism for the right of the workmen to organize within the spirit of the Federal Constitution Is not to be disputed. The employers ot this country have no quarrel with the men that work for them considered as Individuals. The welfare of those who toll In our fac tories calls for our most earnest consid eration. But what we must protest against Is the unwarrantable usurpation of rights and the disastrous Industrial policy which characterizes them In their present asso ciated capacity. "Organized labor knows but one law. and that Is the law of physical force the law ot the Huns and Vandals, the law ot tho savage. All Its purposes are accom plished either by actual force or by the threat ot force. It does not place Its re liance In reason and Justice, but In strikes, boycotts and coercion. It Is. In all essen tial features, a mob power knowing no master except Its own will and Is contin ually condemning or defying the consti tuted authorities. The stronger It grows the greater a menace It becomes to the continuance of free trovernment In which all the people have a voice. It Is, In fact' a. uespotism springing Into being In the midst of liberty-loving people. "In setting Itself np as a power Inde pendent of the power ot the state It does not regard Itself as bound to observe the 14th amendment of the constitution -of the United States, which declares that no state shall attempt to abridge the privi leges or right of life, liberty and property of any citizen. Crimea Doe to Strikes. "It has not hesitated to resort to vio lence and the destruction of property to compel the acceptance of Its demands. Its history Is stained with blood and ruin. Many a man whose only fault was that he stood upon his rights has been made to suffer outrage, and even death, and many an employer has been brought face to face with financial ruin- These wrongs cry unto heaven, and yet an unaroused public sentiment too often permits them to go unheeded and unpunished. "It now demands of the public and of Congress the privilege to violate the laws forbidding violence and property destruc tion that It may continue to maintain its power through terrorism. "It extends Its tactics of coercion and Intimidation over all classes, dictating to the press and to the politicians, and strangling Independence of thought and American manhood. "It denies to those outside Its ranks the Individual right to dispose or their labor as they see fit-a right that Is one of the most sacred and fundamental of American' uoerty. "It holds a bludgeon over the head of the employer, laying down the terms upon which he shall be permitted to do busi ness. It says to him that he must deal direct with the union; that while he shall pay the men who work In his factory they shall be beholden more to the union than to him for their positions; that he cannot employ or discharge men without the In dorsement and consent of the union; and that he must pay them the wage fixed by the union without regard to their Individu al worth or the economic ability of the employer to pay. Arraignment of Unions. "It denies to the individual the .right of being his own Judge as to the length ot time he shall work; and'as to'how much he shall do within the time prescribed. It takes no account of the varying degree of natural .aptitude and powers of endur ance displayed by individuals, and seeks to place all men In each particular trade on tha same dead level as respects his dally output and his dally wage. Thus premium Is placed upon Indolence and Incompetency, and there Is a restriction of human effort, reducing the aggregate production and Increasing the cost of things produced. This policy amounts to not onlv a tax upon the consumer, the majority of whom do not belong to or ganized labor, but It reduces the demand (Concluded on Pare 7.) CONTEXTS OF TODAY'S PAPER.

FOSTER 10 SI Still a Candidate to Suc ceed Himself DEAL WITH HAMILTON One or Other Will Finally Get Out of Way. IT'S ALL FRIENDLY, YOU KNOW But Pierce County Will Still Try to Retain the Senatorsblp The Tie Up With Ankeny Hopktna Appointment. United States Senator Foster, ot Washington, is still a candidate to suc ceed himself. A deal has been made by which he and his friend Hamilton will not fight for control of Pierce County. Whichever ot the two pulls oat In the end will have to fsce the opposition of ex-Senator John L. Wilson Foster has lost ground by recom mending appointments which were real ly made on the advice of his friends and by not' getting the credit he de served tor legislation he secured. TACOMA. April 14.-Spedal.)-Whlt-ever fight there Is In Pierce County over the United States Senatorial nomlnaUon will be precipitated by the so-called Wil son faction of the Republican party. The opposition will get together or a candi date and there Is no doubt that the question will be settled soon. Either Foster or Hamilton will get out ot the way. The two are friends and hive worked politics together. They are both equally anxious to win, but they will not make a fight against each other for con trol of the county. It will be decided .between their friends which man Is-to be the candidate and then some one's boom will have collapsed. This programme, while It his been hinted at and striven for during several weeks, was really agreed upon during the last seven days. It was felt that a fight for the control of the county between facUons of the antl-Wllson wing would simply result In aiding a Wllson-Cush-min combination to control the next Leg islative delegation, something that has been impossible heretofore. Even should the Wilson faction be defeated. It was be lieved a fight would result In sending a half-hearted delegation to Olympla. and that is not the way Pierce wants to do politics. Hamilton Is a - member of the State Senate, and If the decision of a conference between friends of the two Senatorial candidates goes against him he will bead another Foster delegation and will again make Foster's fight Since Hamilton has been In the habit of win ning the fights he makes, Foster's friends have been elited over this pledge, though It was something they might have ex pected Hamilton to propose. United States Senator Foster has not returned from Washington, but his pri vate secretary, Thomas Sammons, has been In the state for more than a week. Sammons is looking over the ground. The story, printed by The Oregonlan a few weeks ago. to the effect that there was opposition In the antl-Wllson faction to Foster, has awakened his friends to the situation, and Sammons came West to investigate. He has beep endeavoring to locate the cause of the deflection from Foster, and It possible to stem the tide. In any event he Is preparing to have something to shoW.Foster relative to the situation when the Senitor returns from Washington. In the meantime It Is announced by Fos ter's friends that he Is to be considered a candidate for the United States Sen ate to succeed hlmseir. This position is taken since It is easier to withdraw from a rice than It Is to re-enter a contest Straightening Ont the Klnka. Prior to the coming of Foster, his friends are endeavoring to straighten out some of the complications that hive arisen during the past four years. Among others they are attempting to shoulder the responsibility for whatever appoint ments have been made upon Foster's po litical advisors. It bas been pointed out that each appointment has been made upon the recommendation of the leidlng politicians of the dominant Republican faction in this state. Even the appointment of Hopkins for United States Marshal, which Washing ton politicians outside the Inner circle of Foster's advisers have been Inclined to believe was Foster's own choosing. Is declared to have been advised and urged by the antl-Wllson or Foster-Ankeny leaders. This programme Included, of 'course, the recommendation of Crocker for Collector of Customs and Is really the political move from which have arisen all the complications that beset Foster at Washington. Out of this fight grew the bitter opposition of Cushman and Wilson's persistent fight over each of Foster's recommendations, for It was an attempt' to shelve Clarence Ide, the intl mite friend of both Cushman and Wil son. , Now It Is stated and even shown that before Foster made this move which has Involved blm so deeply' he was urged to do so by the political advisers who have been criticising blm since and who are now looking for another Senatorial candi date. Then Foster's friends go down .the line and show that aside from those men (Concluded on Fags 6.) I,, J.-L,
