Pulpits Many Visitors to Hatfield At tend Parian Clmrcli. LONDON. Aug. 23. King Edward's tri bute to the deceased Marquis of Salisbury is given In the court circular tonight, dated Marlenbad, Sunday. It runs as fol lows: "The King: has received with, profound regret the news of the death of the Mar quis of Salisbury, and His Majesty deeply Deplores the loss of so great a statesman, whose Invaluable services to Queen Vic toria, to the King and his country In the highest offices of state -which he held for so many years will ever -dwell In the memory of his fellow-countrymen." Messages of condolence are pouring In S.t Hatfleld House. The Benders Include King Edward and Queen Alexandra, the Queen of Portugal and President Loubet. Touching references were made to the flead Statesman In the pulpits of almost all the churches in the United Kingdom. There were many visitors to the village Df Hatfleld today. The parish church was crowded this morning, the worshipers in cluding Premier Balfour, the Earl and Countess of Selboume, the Marquis' sons, &nd the members of his family and house bold. Lord "William Cecil, the rector of the church, officiated, but, beyond choice mu sic and appropriate hymns, the service was of the usual character. The senior curate in his sermon paid a tribute to the deceased, specially dwell ing on his private virtues and his devo tion to the church. In the conclusion of the discourse the whole congregation rose and remained standing while the organist played the "Dead March" from "Saul." The funeral has boon provisionally fixed for the end of this week, to enable Lord Edward Cecil, who is on hla way homo from Egypt, to assist. The physicians met at Hatfleld, House tonight and Issued, to the press a brief de scription of the final stages of the Illness, which confirms the statements already ca bled by tho Associated Press. The newspapers this morning, some of which appear with black borders, devote the hulk of their epaco to the last hours und career of the Marquis of Salisbury. In their editorials they pay warm tributes and express deep admiration for the dead man. recognizing that with him there passes away the last of tho great English statesmen of the Victorian era as well as the last of the brilliant group of Euro pean statesmen which Included Bismarck, Gortchakoff and Andrassy. It is held that his work in the domain of foreign policy that will be best remem bered with gratitude was his constant en deavor to preserve peace. Ho is-spoken of as tho true representative type of the unambitious, conservative and aristocratic class. The Paris correspondent of tho Times Bays: "Shortly after the Armenian massacres, It came to my knowledge that Lord Salis bury regarded the deposition of Abdul Hamld as perhaps tho bent solution to the great evils of Turkish misrule. In a letter to a friend, however, he said he .supposed that Austria-Hungary was too conservative to consent to such a course, and apparently the idea was never offi cially mooted." SIKKS AEAlt IIElt "WHARF. Late Premier "Vn Always for Pence "With Gaul. PARIS, Aug. 23. Tho death of Lord Salisbury made a deep impression here. Although he had retired from politics, tho feeling prevails here that his disappear ance will contribute to strengthen tho po sition of Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, which circumstance is not thought likely to promote friendship between the two countries. The ability, prudonce and moderation of tho ex-Premier arc frankly recognized, though some of his sarcastic utterances ore recalled. It Is acknowledged that, while he firmly upheld Great Britain's In terests, at the same time ho always strove to prevent a rupture with France, and It Is admitted that the Fashoda incident would have been far more dangerous had any other statesman been in power. CANADA IS DETERMINED. iPoncuintc on the Great Lakes AVI 11 Be Stopped. OTTAWA, OnL, Aug. 23. The Depart ment of Marino and Fisheries Is deter mined to put an end to illegal fishing in tho great lakes. It Is not the Intention of tho government, however, to inforce the law with soven-pounders, as has been in timated in some quarters since the Petrel-Silver Spray Incident occurred. It Is the opinion in official circles that tho desired end can be attained without resorting to harsh measures, which might lead to International complications. Swift boats will o manned and placed at points In the great lakes where poach ing has beon carried on on a large scale. They will be armed with rifles and soven pounders as all the patrol boats are now equipped. Expedition to Hudson. Bay. HALIFAX. N. S.. Aug. 23. To prevent another Alaskan boundary controi'ersy -and to make observations of the climate. geography and natural resources of both land and sea of the northern regions of Canada, an expedition fitted out by the Dominion government sailed from Hall fax today on the steamer Neptune for Hudson Bay. The expedition will report on tho alleged extensive poaching opera tions carried on in that great sea by the Americans. The stoamer will first go to Baffin Bay, where the whaling stations will be In spected and thence to Chesterfield Inlet, where she will go into Winter quarters. As soon as the Winter has fully set in ehe will be mado the center of sledging expeditions in all directions. Before leaving the Inlet In tho Spring a plce post will be erected which it is the intention of the government to main tain permanently. The steamer will later proceed to Greenland and take posses ion of the land In the vicinity. The Xep- tune will return here in November, IKU MARKET IS LIFELESS. OntlooU In the llalknns Checks Healthy Bu nines a. LONDON, Aug. 23. The Etock market experienced a listless week. Consols. which recently have been poured on the market, closed a trifle better, but the check in the rally of Americans and the ominous outlook In the Balkans acted as a deterrent to any healthy business. Speculators were exceedingly cautious In operating In American railroads, but the belief prevails that a general upward movement will set In. Foreign securities were very flat.

DEADWOOD, S. D., Aug. 23. Judging from the inquiries received from all ports of the country the sixth annual session of the American Mining Congress, which is to be held In this city and Lead during tho second week of September, is of far more Importance than the people of this section know. Queries nre received daily as to whether Secretary Shaw, of the United States Treasury, Is going to prom ise for the President a new Cabinet offico to bo devoted to mining. Of course, rbe Secretary can do nothing of the sort, but It is generally understood that the con gress will adopt resolutions looking to ward that end, and it Is moro than prob able that a vigorous campaign will be in augurated having the accomplishment pf that proposition as its object. Tho programme as arranged so far has addresses by Secretary Shaw, Director Roberts, of the Mint; Hon. C. E. Van Dusen. of Nevada; Franklin R. Carpen ter, of Denver: Charles W.

RAGE STARTS RIVETS Shamrock Is Put in Drydock at Erie Basin, DAMAGE FOUND TO BE TRIFLING Measurements Will Be Taken ob the Challenger Tomorrow Morning Visitors Go Bp the Hudson to Grant's Tomb. NEW YORK. Auir. 23. The Shamrock III was towed today from her moorings inside Sandy Hook to the Erie Basin, where she was at once placed In drydock. When the .water had been pumped out. It was found that the straining to which she had been subjected in the heavy windward thresh yesterday had apparent ly started some rivets, for a gang of dock hands were sot to work, tightening them up. The damage, however, appeared but trifling. Her beam was found to need only a little polishing, and when she was refloated she was ready for the measure ments, which will .be taken early tomor row morning, after which she will return to her moorings. It is unlikely that tho remeasurements will alter the time allowance In any ap preciable degree, as Sir Thomas said that should the additional weight of anchor and chain, which would be aboard when the tape Is passed over her. Increase her sailing length, the original figure will be restored by the removal of other weights. The Shamrock I also was towed to tho basin, where she will await her owner's disposition. After seeing the challenger drydocked. Sir Thomas took a party of guests In the Erin to Seagate, where they attended di vine Service on board Commodore Tod's steam yacht Thistle, after which the Erin went up the North River to afford tho Earl and Countess of 6haftsbury and tho other foreign visitors an opportunity to visit General Grant's tomb. This evening Sir Thomas and, his guests attended a dinner at the Oriental Hotel, Manhattan Beach, at which General J. C Bates and General Corbln were present. Tho race on Tuesday wll be over a tri angular course. The Reliance took a short spin outside Sandy Hook today, and then returned to her moorings. i COXSULT OVER MEASUREMENT. Llpton Has No Objections to Make to the Committee. SANDY HOOK, N. J., Aug. 23. There was more than ordinary bustle for Sun day inside Sandy Hook today. The John Scully, ono of the New York Yacht Club boats, came down from tho city bearing the racing committee at an early hour, and the reasons for remeasuring the Shamrock were carefully gone over. Sir Thomas Llpton said that Mr. Fifo had been informed that they need not carry chain or anchor. "However," he added, "I have no objec tion to offer, and no fault to find, and, as you see. I have sent tho Shamrock up to the dock." This was true, for an hour before the committee arrived the tug cruiser had taken the two Shamrocks In tow and was proceeding to the Erie Basin. No sooner had the Shamrocks left than Captain Barr sent a line to his tender, and the Reliance went out beyond the Hook. The crew raised mainsail and Jib. but the Captain was undoubtedly Jut trying tho set of her sails, for he only cruised a little and returned in an hour. Sir Thomas, in the Erin, followed the two Shamrocks up to the city, and later the Reliance s tender also went up to the city. This left .the Reliance alone, and she held receptions all day long to ad miring crowds of enthusiasts. The Shamrock III will be measured in the morning, returning In the afternoon. London Sympathy for Llpton. LONDON, Aug. 24. Saturday's race for the America's cup receives an ample share of attention In this morning's pa pers. Both In tho editorials and la the dispatches from the New York corre spondents of the papers It Is unanimously admitted that the Reliance proved herself the better boat in a fair and square con test. Only the most slender hopes are en tertained as to Sir Thomas Upton's chances now of "lifting" the cup. Great sympathy and admiration are ex tended to him xor the plucky and sports manlike fight. Little comment is made regarding the remeasurement episode, but satisfaction Is expressed that it was Sir Thomas Llpton himself who discovered the necessity for again measuring the Shamrock III. The Standard thinks that if there is anything to choose in the handling of the cutters, the superiority does not lie with Sir Thomas Upton's boat. ROOSEVELT NOT AT FAULT Promotion of Officers Over Wade Was Planned by McKlnley. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 23. A great deal of misin formation is being circulated regarding re cent ar Department affairs, the prln cipal one being that the present Admin istration had the law changed so that the selection of general officers could bo made by the President Instead of by seniority. This Is absolutely false. For 50 years the President of the United States has had authority under the law to select the man he chose as a general officer. He can select a man from private life, and make him head of tho Army, if the Senato will confirm. The fact is that the right of seniority extends in the Army up to and including the rank of Colonel. This Is in the in fan try. cavalry and artillery, the fighting portions or the service, as well as in the staff bureaus. The President can make his selection from any of tho officers for the head of the staff bureaus, or for any o trier general officer in the Army. In connection with this story an at tempt has been made to make It appear that Major-General Wade has been out rageously treated by the present Admin istration. and numerous Instances are given where officers have been Jumped over him. wane was promoted from a Colonel to be Brigadier-General May 26, 1SS7. This promotion was made by Presi dent McKlnley. Had there been no war. Wade would finally have landed at the head of the list and been Commanding- General jot the Army. But the Spanish War changed all things. Among others. it changed the status of Wade as a sol dler. A very good man. but a man who did not have the energy necessary to make him valuable as a high command ing officer. And now other men have been Jumped over him. Seven men have been made Major-Generals who were below Wade in rank as Brigadier-General, or even Colo nels. One of them retired almost imme diately, Wheaton. and he will not be con- s:cerea in ims list loung was a iing adier-General on the 2d of June, 1900. nearly three years after Wsde first held that rank, and was made Major-General In February. 1S0L Chaffee and MacAr thur were made Major-Generals on the succeeding days. MacArthur reached the rank of Brigadier-General on the same date that Young did; Chaffee never was a Brigadier-General. He was Jumped ever all Brigadier-Generals from the rank of Colonel, on account of his Chinese campaign. These three men rank Wade at the present time. It is explained that all of them will be Lieutenant-Gcnerals of the Amur. All of them were acooSnted Major-Generals In February, 1S0L by President McKlnley. This Is another case where Roosevelt is following 'out what his predecessor laid down for him. He took the senior Ma jor-General of the line and made him Lieutenant-GeneraL He Intends to take the next senior Major-Genera 1, Chaffee, and follow with MacArthur. If McKlnley had lived, Corbln. who was the senior Major-General after Brooke retired six months ago, would have been made Lleu-teaant-General and assigned to the com mand of the Army, but Corbln has been In the staff and is Adjutant-General. The President chooses to take line officers for the highest offices In the service. Hughes. Bates and Davis were made Major-Generals respectively April L July 15 and July 2L 1S02. They were made Major-Generals on the 2d of February, 190L They all were jumped over Wade by Pres ident Roosevelt. Hughes and Davis have already retired, and Bates will retire in a short time. He did not Interfere with Wade's advancement. So those who are trying to make It ap pear that President Roosevelt has inter fered with Wade's advancement have not considered the matter la tho light of truth find history.

The An nie Roberts, an excursion boat carrying 1500 passengers, sank here tonight, but no one was drowned. The boat had been up the river with tho Ancient Order of Hibernians and their guests from Pitts burg on their annual outing. On tho return trip, when approaching this place, it was discovered that the ves sel was rapidly filling with water, and Captain Klein, without letting his pas sengers know of the condition, ordered the pilot to head for the wharf. This was quickly done, and when the boat was within 25 feet of shore she sank in about six feet of water. The excursionists were all taken off without fatality by means of skiffs and barges. When the boat sank tho lower deck was covered with water to a depth of about six inches. Women and children became panic-strulcken, and there wero many narrow escapes from drowning during the transfer from boat to shore. Scalded to Death In a Wreck. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 23.

Census and Land Bureaus in Dispute Over Services of Forest Fisher. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 23. The Census and General Land Offices are engaged In a lively dis pute to determine to which office Forest S. Fisher, of The Dalles, Is properly as signed. Fisher was appointed to the Cen bus Office by ex-Representative Moody, and for the past year has been in tho field. Two weeks ago, on Moody's request and that of Receiver Lang, an order was is sued by the Civil Service Commission, upon demand of the General Land Office, transferring Fisher from the Census Of flee to be clerk In The Dalles Land Of flee. Just as he was ordered by the Gen era! Land Offico to proceed to The Dalles, he was telegraphed by the Census Office to proceed to Thunder Mountain to continue Investigations. Census Offico officials say they never consented to his transfer, and will not now consent. Fisher, however, was telegraphed today by Land Commissioner Richards to pro ceed at onco to The Dalles, and this order will probably prevail. Peas Sprouted In Her Stomach. CRESTON, la., Aug. 23.
