Roosevelt Will Touch but Lightly
on Subject in Bin Mexsagc,
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, D. C, Oct. 19. President Roose
velt, in his annual message to Congress,
will touch but lightly on the subject of
reform in the public land laws, but will
go to the extent of favoring such modi
fications In the statutes as will more
effectively safeguard the rights of bona
lide settlers, and tend to curtail the op
erations of corporations and speculators.
He will not indorse any particular plan
of reform. Considerable pressure is even
now being- brought to bear to secure the
President's approval of various reform
measures, but without success. He will
allow Congress to frame such reform
legislation as it may deem best.
Senator Hansbrough, chairman of the
Senate Public Lands Committee, is arming
for a fight in defense of the commuta
tion clause of the homestead act, but
advocates radical modification of the
timber and stone and desert land acts.
Other prominent Westerners will advo
cate a general revision of all land laws,
and the great diversity of opinion will
no doubt result In compromise legisla
tion, so far as the repeal of the timber
and stone act is concerned.
Land Commissioner Richards general
ly indorses the Ideas of Senator Hans
brough, and says he will favorably re
port upon any bill which provides for
the sale of timber on unreserved public
lands at -not less .than - its 'Uppraisod
value, sales to be made at public auc
tion. This plan will Insure the Govern
ment a fair price for its timber and
leave the lands to be re-forested or to
be taken up by entrymen. Such a law
would cut off the operations of timber
speculators and yet allow the use of
timber from the public domain as needed.
Commissioner Richards Is also ready
to Indorse a bill for repeal of the com
mutation clause of the homestead act,
for It Is under this act that thousands
of acres are each year acquired by spec
ulators and corporations, In violation of
the spirit and" the letter of the law.
Senator Hansorough win. meet a very
determined opposition when he under
takes to prevent the Tepeal of the com
mutation homestead law.

WAITING ON JAPAN
Russia Fears No Other Nation
in Manchuria.
FLEET LEAVES PORT ARTHUR
Destination Is Unknown, but Several
Ships Are Probably Cruising Off
the Coast of Corea Negotia
tions at a. StandstilL
PETQN, Oct 19. Like other cities In tha
far East Pekln is perplexed by the re
ports from various points of events por
tending a Russo-Japanese war. Most of
these . reports on Investigation prove to
be unfounded. The opinion prevails here
that Russia proposes to hold all she has
gained in Manchuria, and refrain for the
present from further advances Into Corea.
It is also believed that Russia Is con
vinced v that no nation, except Japan,
thinks of contesting her position, and,
having assembled a fleet and army which
she considers strong enough to repel any
Japanese attack, she is awaiting devel
opments In Japan's policy.
The majority of the Russian ships have
left Port Arthur since the maneuvers for
an unknown destination, but It Is sup
posed that some of them are cruising on
the shores of Corea, watching Ma-San-Pho
and other ports.
The Japanese ships whoso presence at
Ma-San-Pho caused the report that Japan
had occupied that port have sailed, prob
ably in the direction of Saseho, Japan.

Indorsed by AIL

cupation of Manchuria is indorsed by the
whole country, but it Is believed Ito Is
strong enough to carry his point owing
to the paramount stand taken for the In
tegrity of Corea. and the open door In
Manchuria for all nations.

concentration of Japanese forces in the
neighborhood of Hakodate, Japan. The

lieve the situation has not changed ma
terially since last week's reassuring offi
cial telegram from Toklo, and the opinion
was expressed that the Czar's appoint
ment of a special mission to consider af

the powers of General' Alexletf, the Rus

AMERICAN INTERESTS ARE SAFE.
Minister to Corea Discusses the Sev
eral Phaes of the Dispute.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Oct 19.
Hon. Horace N. Allen, United States
Minister to Corea, who has been In that
country for IS years, and who Is en
route to the Orient spent the day In
Colorado Springs. He left Seoul last
Spring, crossed Russia by the Trans-
Siberian Railway and spent the Summer
In Europe and the United States. Re
garding the political situation in the Far
East Mr. Allen said:
"As regards the negotiations that are
now being carried on by Russia, China
and Japan, I, of course, do not care to
bo quoted. Our position Is that of a
neutral friend to each, and they all
three feel very friendly toward the
United States. However the matter may
be decided. It seems It will not be to
the disadvantage of America. Many of
the press telegrams we see In the news
papers here show unmistakable signs of
Inaccuracy and sensationalism In deal
ing with the present Oriental situation,
and it Is a good plan to await confirma
tion before forming conclusions upon
them.
"Corea Is regarded ns the storm center
of Asia. It has been under the alter
nate dominion of China, Russia and Ja
pan. Since Japan waged a successful
war with China to secure the absolute
Independence of Corea, China has been
left out of the count, and the strife for
supremacy has been between Russia and
Japan.
"During the year past Russia has be
gun to operate a timber concession, said
to embrace most of the northern fron
tier of Corea. In the operation of this
concession, the Russian concessionaires
have run counter to the interest of cer
tain Japanese, who held similar agree
ments with local magistrates. It Is
thought this concession may lead to
serious consequences.
"As to the port of Masampho, on the
south coast of Corea, near Japan, which
has been a bone of contention between
Russia and Japan for some time, it Is
true that Russia has obtained from
Corea the allotment of ground for a
special Russian settlement and coaling
station, but this was offset and practical
ly nullified later on by a similar allot
ment granted to Japan. Any attempt
of either power to occupy these settle
ments In a military way would doubt
less lead to serious difficulties.
"I have been Impressed by the fact
that by the expenditure of the $300,000,000
In the construction of the Siberian Rail
way and cities, and the suppression of
the Manchurian bandits who had for
merly made It impossible for the people
to market their produce, Russia has
brought order Into this Immense agri
cultural region of Manchuria and has
thereby made possible an extensive,
growing trade, 75 per cent of which now
comes from the United States. This
shows that Manchuria Is a splendid and
growing field for American commerce.
"While at Port Arthur, although that
Is not a commercial port I saw two
steamers unloading, one a cargo of Amer
ican beer, and the other a cargo of
American flour. My observations led mo
to the conclusion that the Imports of
Russia were largely composed of vodka,
the native drink. Russia Is not a man
ufacturing country, and therefore re
ceives Its manufactured products very
largely from other nations. . The Rus
sians with whom I talked all expressed
themselves as very favorable to Ameri
can commercial enterprises."

NOTED DENVER MAN DEAD
COLONEL. GOODELL,. ALSO KXffWX
' -TO BAST AS FINANCIER.
Lout Fortune in Chicago, Then Came
Went Friend of Lincoln, and
Prominent In Politics.
DENVER, Oct 19. Colonel Roswell
Eaton Goodell, president of the Denver
Stock Exchange, died at his home in
Denver this afternoon of Bright's dis
ease. With tho exception of one daugh
ter, Mrs. A. A. Blowe, who is In Aus
tralia, all the members of his family were
at his bedside.
Colonel Goodell was born in Connecti
cut in 1S27, and when a boy accompanied
his parents to Illinois. At the age of 15
ho was Postmaster of Ottawa, 111. when
employed as secretary of the Board of
Commissioners to Investigate a claim of
the Illinois & Michigan Canal Company
against the state, he met Abraham Lin
coln, who was also on the boara. Al
though Mr. Goodell was a Democrat, Mr.
Lincoln asked him to run for Secretary
of State on the Republican ticket. He
did so, and was elected.
Later he became cashier of the Mer
chants & Drovers' Bank, of Joilet, and
from there went to Chicago as a director
of the Fourth National Bank. He was
also treasurer of the Chicago & Alton
Railroad, and the Pullman cars were first
used through his efforts.
Ho enlisted and served through the en
tire Mexican "War and at the time of the
breaking out of the Civil War organized
the Twentieth Illinois Infantry. It was
through this that he received his title as
Colonel, although he did not enter the
service, owing to financial reverses' which
made It Impossible. In 1878 Colonel Good
ell came to Leadvllle, where he hoped to
retrieve his fortunes, which were swept
away by fire. He lived in Leadville for
