Scores Cabinet Members.
SPECIALLY AIMED AT EBERTS
Resignation, of Provincial Secretary
forced Premier "Would Appeal to
Country on His Stand In Brit
ish Columbia Land Scandals.
VICTORIA, B. a, 'May 27. The political
crisis grows apace. Following the. dis
missal of V?. C. "Wells, Chief Commissioner
of Lands end "Works, and Attorney-General
D. 2X. Eberts, when the House sat
today W. TV. B. Mclnnls. Provincial Sec
retary, tendered his resignation. Then
Colonel Prior, the Premier, announced
that he had received a promise from the
Lieutenant-Governor that he would grant
a dissolution of the Legislature after the
estimates and necessary non-contentious
legislation has been passed. Then the
Premier will go to the country, the elec
tion taking place in September or Octo
ber next.
The general feeling in the Legislature Is
that the election will be held on party
lines. Tho Attorney-General said he (had
resigned, after having been asked to do so.
He had not done so before because his
reputation was at stake, considering him
self on trial at the Inquiry. He was bitter
regarding the action of the Premier.
J. D. Prentice, Finance Minister, who
followed, said the Attorney-General had
brought his dismissal on himself. Speak
ing regarding the Columbia & "Western
deal, he said George McL. Brown, ex
ecutive officer of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad, had been assisted In 1900 by the
Attorney-General in this matter. He re
ferred to Eberts as a "blackguard." De
fending the Premier's course, he said that
he had for colleagues "men untrue, and
unfaithful; cowards and liars." Asked to
retract, he said he would withdraw the
final 's."
Commissioner "Wells spoke, taking his
dismissal philosophically, speaking at
length. He defied the Premier to show
where he had been negligent. He read the
letter dismissing him, which told of mat
ters in his department not meeting the
Premier's approval, and that under any
circumstances the Premier tiad intended
to ask for his resignation at tho close of
the session.
After long discussion, several minor
matters -were dealt with, and then the
government was defeated on Jthe Pre
mier's motion to adjourn, 1C to 13. He said
he regarded the defeated motion as a vote
of non-confidence, and would ask the
Lieutenant-Governor to come tomorrow
and dissolve the House. This would re
sult In the province being left without
funds from June.
The leader of the opposition then moved
adjournment, thinking thus to demon
strate that the opposition was in power,
but the Martin wing In the opposition
voted with the government and the oppo
sition leader was defeated. After consid
erable discussion, in which "W. "W. B.
Mclnnls made an effort to secure control,
it was finally shown that it was neces
sary to pass supply bills, and the motion
to adjourn offered by the Premier car
ried. Axvarjl Asralnst Public Interest,
VICTORIA. B. C. May 27. The special
committee of the British Columbia Leg
islature inauirlng into the Columbia
"Wester subsidy deal reported that the
award of the South Kootenay lands to the
Canadian Pacific Railway was against the
public interest.
PACIFIC HAS HOPES.
Forest Grove Athletes 3Iay Surprise
State 'Varsity.
PACIFIC "UNIVERSITY. Forest Grove,
Or.. May 27. (Special.) It is believed
here that the track and field meet which
Is to be held tomorrow between the Uni
versity of Oregon and Pacific University
will be one of the best contests held in
Oregon this year. Supporters of the local
team hardly hope for victory, but they
expect Pacific to take her share of first
places. The fact that Oreson won seven
firsts from Corvallls and tho Pacific took
six from the same team goes to show that
tho competition for first honors will be
very close tomorrow. Pacific concedes
to Eugene the discus throw, high Jump
and broad jump, and admits that It is
probable that the men from up the valley
will take the mile and n half runs. On
the other hand, it is thought that the 100,
220 and 410-yard dashes will all go to
Peterson, of Pacific, and It is believed
that Barnet will take both the shot-put
and hammer-throw. The chances are In
favor of Gilbert, of Pacific, In the pole
vault. Both hurdle races will be close,
although if comparative time shows any
thing. Fletcher, of Pacific, ought to win.
Trainer Hexter feels that his men did
not do themselves justice in the meet with
Corvallls, and believes that they will do
much better tomorrow. The fact that
Eugene will only have 12 men entered
gives Pacific hope, as Corvallls had SI
men entered against Pacific's 13. and was
able to enter fresh men In -each event.
Captain Gilbert, when asked about the
outlook, said: "Thursday will find Pa
cific's men' In perfect condition, and I
expect them to do better than at any
previous time this season. In the jumps
and hurdles I think wo have a surprise
for Oregon. Our team is weak In second
and third place men, and If we lose, it
will not be by first places. I expect to
see some records broken if tho weather
la favorable."
OFF FOR. FOREST GROVE.
Oregon. Track Tenia Hopes to Win
From Pacific.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or., May 27. (Special.) The 'varsity track
team left here this afternoon for Forest
Grove, where the dual field meet with
Pacific University -will be held on Thurs
day afternoon. After the contest with
the Pacific, tho Oregon collegians will re
turn to Portland, where they will meas
ure strength with the Multnomah Ama
teur Athletic Club on Decoration day.
The collegians have snatched two suc
cessive victories from the clubmen, and
should they lose the coming meet, the
series nevertheless belongs to them.
Considering the fact that the "Agrics"
easily defeated tho Pacific University
team, it would seem that Oregon ought
to win over Pacific tomorrow. Captain
Payne is known to be In poor condition,
and Sprinter Henderson, who received a
bruise In the Corvallls meet, has been
absent from regular practice this week.
The rest of the Oregon men are in splen
did condition.
After the dual meet with the clubmen
the local collegians will return to Albanv'
where they will meet the much-talked-of
Albany track team on Monday.

OLYMPIA, Wash., May 27. (Special.)
The annual report of Deputy Insurance
Commissioner J. H. Shlvely to the Sec
retary of State, who is ex-offlcio Insurance
Commissioner, was Issued today. As a
preliminary to the report Mr. Shlvely
says:
"The books of the department show
that during the year 1302 the sum of J68.-
1S4.11 was received from all sources. The
receipts for 103, up to May L are JS3,-
259.45, an increase of J15.115.34. Of these
amounts the sum of 5S59.53 should be de
ducted from the 1503 receipts and added
to those of 1902, as this represents the
bills due In 1502 and collected during the
present year. This would reduce the net
increase of 1503 over 1902 to $13,395.28, but
estimating the receipts for the balance
of the year upon the basis of last year's
business, It will be readily seen that the
Increase of the current year over 1902 will
amount to S1S.O00."
The recapitulation of the business
transacted by the Insurance companies
in this state during the year 1902, Is shown

BRITAIN DID SEIZE THEM
Three Small Islands Near Pltcalrn
Taken With an Eye to Business.
-TAHITI. May 15, via San Francisco,
May 27. (Correspondence of "the Associat
ed Press.) Information based on the
highest authority confirms the rumor that
three small Islands near Pltcalrn were
seized by Great Britain recently. It ap
pears that they were regarded by H. B.
M.'s Consul Simons, at Tahiti, as valu
able .anticipating the completion of the
Panama Canal. He was under the Im
pression that sooner or later the French
government might annex them, and so,
without waiting for definite instructions

Later an English man-of-war, at Mr.
Simons' request, went from Tahiti to the
new possessions and completed certain
formalities. When tho action was re
viewed by the British Foreign Office, the
Consul received full approbation for his
forethought. Duclc Island was a safe
harbor, while Elizabeth Island has many
attractive features. There are no Inhab
itants in the group. Colonial troops arc
to be withdrawn from Tahiti In the near
future. They are considered to be wholly
unnecessary to this colony, and are a
great burden upon the treasury.
WHY NEGROES GO TO CITIES
Booker Washinpton Says Lynchings
Cause Most of the Immigration.
TUSKEGEE, Ala., May 27. Booker T.
Washington today submitted' his annual
report ,to the board of trustees of the
Tuskegee Institute. xIt Is In part as fol
lows: "There are several Influences that are
constantly exerting themselves against
the negro growing up on the soil at pres
ent. One Is the lack of public school
facilities in the country district, and the
frequent and unwise agitation of the ques
tion about dividing the school fund In
proportion to the tax paid by each race.
In the cities and larger towns the negro
parent finds a comfortable schoolhouse
and a school in session eight or nine
months. Another thing which sends a
larger number of negroes to the city Is
the surety, of getting .police protection
when one is charged with crime. I
think I do not overstate the matter when
I say that for every lynching or attempt
at a lynching that takes place In the
country a score of colored people leave
the country for the city. The whole
question Is one that should receive every
attention.'.'
Xesrro Exodus From South Is Planned
BOSTON, May 27. Plans have been com
pleted by a secret organization with head
quarters here, for a great negro exodus
from tho South. The plan of the society,
which numbers 500 members; Is to depopu
late the entire South and Southwest of
negroes, who will be brought north to
Boston, and thence distributed throughout
the West In agricultural and mining com
munities. The first great body of emi
grants, 5000, will land in Boston about the
first of July, the society's leaders' say.
The Southern headquarters of the society
are In Georgia, but the precise location is
kept secret in fear of mob violence or In
terference from the whites. Secret agents
of the society are now gathering negroes
from all parts of the South.

by the legislative committee In connection
with Its annual report.
State Master B. G. Leedy, Jacob Voor
hees and W. M. Hilleary, constituting the
committee on legislation, submitted a re
.port. They found more people at the
State Capitol during the last session of.
the Legislature that were Interested In the
equalization of the burdens of taxation
than ever before. The interests of the
Grange, repprted the committee, are
greatly aided by the tax reform clubs
about the state. Among the bills passed
by the Last Legislature for which the
Grange was working were the Eddy cor
poration tax law and Malarkey's Inher
itance tax measure.
"We failed in our effort to secure the
passage of a bill to create the office of
precinct or district assessor," says the
committee, "and provide for his election
by the people. The principle of electing
officers by direct vote Is not popular with
Legislators." The committee held that
the passage of Crolsan's direct primary
bill and other corporation tax measures
would have been secured "if the Grange
had stood solidly by tho principle that
large and extravagant appropriations
would be opposed unless increased sources
of revenue should be created, and thus
relieve and not Increase the burdens al
ready heavy upon land and Its Improve
ments." The report of the committee.
together with the appended resolutions,
were adopted:
Resolved, That the Oregon State Grange fa
vors the enactment Into law of Bouse bill No.
196, known as the Harris bill, and providing
tor an equal rate ot assessment for tbe taxa
tion of express, telegraph, telephone, railroads,
Pullman or sleeping-cars, refrlgrator cars and
oil companies, and to create a state board ot
appraisers and assessors for such, purposes, and
prescribe their duties therefor.
Resolved, That the Stato Grange of Oregon la
In favor of a primary law providing for direct
nomination of candidates for public office.

combined Increase in the membership for
the past 12 months was 1200.

College President Holds They Are
Not Paragons of Cleanliness.
CHICAGO, May 27. "The scientific
knowledge and the mission of the doctor
of medicine should combine, to make him
the best exemplar in society of physical.
Intellectual and moral cleanliness. Yet
I seo doctors every day who need a bath.
whose very clothes should be burned, and
if they were to go with the clothes the
world would not be moved deeply, nor sor
row long. Often the breath Is foul and
evidences are not tacking of the grossest
violations of all tne laws of sane and
healthful living."
Plain statements and caustic truths
were plentiful In an address by President
Andrew Sloan Draper at the commence
ment exercises of the College of Physi
cians and Surgeons of the University of
Illinois last night His subject was "The
Personal Equation in the Medical Profes
sion."
"In view of all the things which mod
ern scientific knowledge enables one to
know with certainty," President Draper
continued, "there is too much uncertainty.
too much hideous blundering in medical
practice. To trifle with human life in den
ance of well-known scientific truths, to
proceed upon mere guess when the facts
essential and competent and exact treat
ment may be easily ascertained, is an of
fense against decency and should be made
an offense against law which would land
one In jail."
