New Chinese Exclusion
Act Is Considered.
TO BE READY f OR CONGRESS
Secretary Hay and Minister
Begin Laying Foundation.
COOLIES ARE TO BE SHUT OUT
Flowery Kingdom Is Perfectly Will
ing This Reservation So Made
Higher Classes Are to Bo
Treated More Liberally.
"WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Secretary Hay
and Sir Cheng Tung Liang Cheng have
at last begun to lay the foundation for
a new Chinese exclusion treaty and It Is
expected the convention will be ready
for submission to the Senate at the ap
proaching session. The treaty will, it Is
understood, replace all existing laws on
the subject. It is the Intention to con
tinue In full force In the treaty the prin
ciple of the exclusion of Chinese coolies
and the Chinese government itself Is per
fectly willing that this should be done.
But the treaty will contain provisions re
garded as much -needed and earnestly
sought by the Chinese government, for
many years, looking to a more consider
ate, liberal and kindly treatment of the
higher class of 'Chinese seeking to enter
our ports.
NAMED POSTMASTER-GENERAL.
Wynne Will Probably Be Succeeded
by Cortelyou In January.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. President
Roosevelt today announced the appoint
ment of Robert J. Wynne, Acting Postmaster-General,
as Postmaster-General.
Mr. Wynne took the oath of office as
Postmaster-General this afternoon.
How long Mr. "Wynne may continue as
Postmaster-General has not been deter
mined. Beyond the statement that the
appointment is temporary, nothing Is
known. The probability is that Mr.
Wynne will be succeeded by George Bruce
Cortelyou about January L
The appointment of Mr. Wynne as a
member of the President's Cabinet was
not unexpected by those in close touch
with the situation. It was known that
in the event of Mr. Payne's death, the
President would designate Mr. Wynne as
Acting Postmaster-General, because of his
familiarity as First Assistant Postmaster
General with the duties. Two days after
the death of Mr. Payne the President so
designated Mr. "Wynne and Indicated his
intention of naming him as Postmaster
General until such time as Mr. Cortelyou,
chairman of the National Committee,
could arrange bis affairs so as to assume
the duties of Postmaster-General.
Mr. Wynne was appointed First Assist
ant Postmaster-General on April 17, 1902.
For nearly a quarter of a century he had
been a "Washington newspaper correspond
ent, serving at various times some of
the most important newspapers in the
country. At the time of his appointment
he was the Washington correspondent of
the New York Press. It was information
he had secured as a newspaper corre
spondent, corroborated and reinforced by
evidences found in his department after
his appointment, that led Mr. Wynne to
make the recommendations to Postmas
ter-General Payne which resulted in the
sensational developments In the Postoffice
Department. It is thought probable Mr.
"Wynne will be succeeded by Mr. Cortelyou
as Postmaster-General about January 1,
1905. Meantime a successor to Mr. "Wynne
will likely not be appointed.
Mr. "Wynne was formally Inducted Into
his office at 4 o'clock this afternoon..
URGES MORE PAY FOR SOLDIERS
Funston's Report as Commander of
Department of the Columbia.
"WASHINGTON, Oct 10. Brigadier-General
Frederick Funston, until recently
commanding the Department of the Co
lumbia, in his annual report says that ad
ditional observation and conversation
with officers confirm him in the views ex
pressed In his last seport that there
should be a substantial Increase in the
pay of the enlisted men of the Army. Gen
eral Funston says:
"There can be scarcely a doubt that
such action would bring into the Army a
vastly superior body of men who would
remain in the service.
A decrease during the past year in the
percentage of men tried by both general
and minor court-martials, he says, "is
probably due to the fact that there has
been during the fiscal year covered by this
report a smaller number of new men in
the various organizations than in the pre
ceding year."
General Funston says that the con
struction and maintenance of the Alas
kan military line has been of Inestimable
value in maintaining communication be
tween department headquarters and the
various posts In Alaska.
FEWER SOLDIERS BREAK RULES
Judge-Advocate General Reporta De
v crease In Number of Trials.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. The annual
report of General George B. Davis. Judge
Advocate-General, to the Secretary of
ar shows the total number of trials by
general court-martial durinsr the year
have been 4249, being 1026 less than In the
preceding year.
"The marked diminution In the num
ber of trials by general court-martial.
which amounts to nearly 20 per cent of
the number of cases tried, in the year
ended June 30, 1803," says the Judge-Advocate-General,
"is very gratifying, as
indicating that the conditions of the mil
itary service are now such as to require
less frequent resorts to court-martial
procedure in order to maintain discipline
in the military establishment.
It is also noted that only two per
sons were tried by military commis
sion, 70 less than in the preceding year.
Commenting on this, the General says:
"The large decrease in trials by mill
tary commission was due to the fact
that peace existed during the entire
year in the Philippine Islands, except
In certain portions inhabited by the
Moro tribes."
Thirty commissioned officers were
convicted by general court-martial,
the sentence being disapproved in two
cases, and four were acquitted. Of the
3S87 enlisted men convlcteo, sentences
were disapproved in 46 cases. The.'num
ber of enlisted men acquitted after
trial was 311. Nina officers -were dis
missed by sentence, and In four cases
the sentences of dismissal were com
muted to loss of numbers. The num
ber of men sentenced to dishonorable 1
discharge was 2056.
Appended to the report are extracts
from the reports of Judge-Advocates
of departments. The following is quot
ed from the reports- of Lieutenant
Colonel Dunn, Judge - Advocate, De
partment of Colorado:
These desertions In large part are
attributed to the malign influence of
saloons and brothels situated near the
reservations, seducing enlisted men
from the oaths of decency. This is
only another of the many arguments in
favor of restoring to the Army tne
canteen, which provide places of
amusement and social Intercourse
where men could get light refresh
ments, under restraining, decent and
orderly Influences."
Captain Roberts, Acting Judge-Ad
vocate, Department of Texas, says:
"With the beginning of the work on
the 'addition to the post of Fort Sam
Houston, It Is observed that the prices
of business property immediately in
the rear of the new reservation have
materially advanced, and that arrange
ments are already being made for the
construction of the usual assortment of
saloons that the virtual abolition of
the canteen features of the post ex
change has made a universal accom
paniment of every military post." I
think It is beyond question that per
mission to sell beer in the post ex
change would drive out of business at
least two-thirds of the low resorts in
the vicinity of posts."
WILL NOT HINDER MAILS.
Other Lines to Take Letters for Orient
Formerly Carried by Tacoma Boats.
WASHINGTON Oct. 10. Official notice
was received by the Postoffice Depart
ment todav from Dodwell & Co.. of Ta
coma, that they decline to carry United
States malls during the remainder of the
Russo-Japanese war, on account of the
seizure of malls on the steamer Calchas,
which sailed from Tacoma in July. The
notification protested against tne seizure
as an outrage against nia country ana
asked what action probably would be
taken by the Government.
iThfl withdrawal of the steamers oper
ated by the company will not cause any
material difference in the aispatcn or ine
maitn to th Orient. Mails were dis
patched by them once a month, and such
mail as would have been forwarded by
them will be diverted to otner lines, -mere
will be six dispatches of mall to the
Orient during October by other trans
pacific lines. None of these companies
is under contract.
Following is the telegram to the de
partment:
"Followinsr cable lust received from Al
fred Holt & Co.. of Liverpool, owners of
the British steamer Calchas, which vessel
was seized by Russian "Vladivostok squad
ron off the Japanese coast about Juiy
' 'Calchas release annealed against by
Russian crown advocate because among
mail matter was financial information ad
dressed to Japanese officials containing
information of value to the enemy. "Wc
give definite instructions to notify Post-
office Department that we re ruse to carry
any mall for Japan during the duration
of the war.
"The Calchas Is one of the regular liners
operating between Puget Sound, London
and Liverpool via Japanese waters and
the Suez Canal. She was on her regular
voyage, and her cargo contained no con
traband. Understand the Russian crown
advocate bases his appeal against releape
on the fact that the United States mall
raHui hv the Calchas contained Infor
mation for Japanese officials. Hope
United States will take immediate acuon
against confiscation and detention of Cal
chas on account of carrying the United
States maila This Is certainly an out
rage against the united states mat snouia
not be allowed to pass. Please be notified
that during the duration of the war we
must decline to carry United States malls
for Japan. Kindly advise what action
will probably be taken oy department
Postmaster-General "Wynne later con
mitfd with tho President rejrardlnjr the
matter. Tho State Department probably
will enter into corresponcence witn ue
Russian government to ascertain the
facts.
Supreme Court in Session.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10. The October
term of the Supreme Court of the United
States began today.
ARMOUR REFUSES TO ANSWER
Interstate Commerce Commission Has
Taken Up Private-Car Matter.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10. What is regarded
as one of the most Important sessions of
tho Interstate Commerce Commission this
year was held today. The feature was an
inquiry Into the relations of private car
companies and railroad companies, and
the effect on trade. J. "W. Mldgley, the
principal witness, declared that the sys
tem of private ownership of cars "has
the railroad companies firmly In its
grasp." and was "one of the greatest pow
ers ever known."
Asked for a solution of the difficulty,
Mr. Mldgley suggested a per diem sys
tem. "Put refrigerator cars on a per
diem of E0 cents for so much weight," said
he. "stock cars on a SO-cent basis and
other cars on a 20-cent basis."
Mr. Midgley's testimony tended to show
that by a comprehensive system of re
bates and commissions transportation of
many of" the principal commodities of
commerce is almost wholly within the
grasp of the "private car" companies,
which are able to regulate rates and
prices to a degree that stifles competition.
Mr. Mldgley admitted It was because the
railways have JSOO.OOO.OOO Invested in
freight cars of their own, which are in
danger of falling Into decay and useless
ness because of the growth of tho "private-car"
system that tho railways were
anxious to clip the wings of the "private
cars." "
James S. "Watson, of the firm of Porter
Bros., which firm passed through bank
ruptcy, was also examined. Mr. "Watson
admitted he probably realized $50,000 a year
through his transactions with the Fruit
growers' Express Company, as profit
which Is said by shippers to be a rebate.
The principal witness In the afternoon
was J. Ogden Armour, but he proved re
luctant in answering questions put to him.
Instead he referred the investigators to
George Robbins, vice-president of the
Armour car line.
Mr. Armour denied that he made a
practice of lending large sums of money
to companies uping the Armour cars to
ship fruit, but admitted he had made a
loan to James S. Watson, of the Porter
Bros. Company. He declined to give In
formation regarding the loan, however.
Mr. Bobbins, who had been referred to
in Mr. Armour's testimony, was then
called to the stand. He, also, was un
willing to answer all questions put to
him. Little evidence of Importance was
secured from him.
The inquiry -will continue tomorrow.
Raise Fund to Break Strike.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 10. The Employers'
Association executive committee, after a
discussion of the coal strike situation to
day, issued a statement declaring that
the association will support the coal deal
ers to the last in the present conflict and
will if necessary raise $100,000 to break
the strike. The association will not con
sent to .arbitration nor to confer with
strike supporters. The reasons given are
that the union is endeavoring to enforce
a closed shop, which the committee de
clares is un-American and against the
Interests of the public.

WHAT WE OWE TO THE FLANGE
We read of the stateliness and impreeslveness of the modern passenger train with its 'superbly-equipped cars and its huge engine. It rolls smoothly and swiftly along the rails
that hold as with steel bands State to State or unite a Nation with its neighbors. The powerful engine, a miracle of intricacy and strength, makes naught of distance and laughs
at the limitations of time as measured by erstwhile standards. We know that steam is the motive power, an invisible power chained within the monster of steel, and which makes
itself manifest in the windy rush of the cars, but seeable only as a cloudy trail in the wake of the flying train. We know that the air-brake is an important factor in the safety
of the train; that, the force of compressed air let loose a hurricane of energy bottled in a cylinder stops the flight of the train at the will of the man at the throttle. But what
keeps the mighty engine and its palaces on wheels in the path of safety? What holds the costly fabric to the rails as the train reels dizzily around curves, as though drunk with
speed; and keeps it from flying off at a tangent to destruction? The flange a little inch-high rim on the wheel. The flange on the wheel interposes always and ever a resist
ance to the ever-present tendency to leave the track, manifested alike by engine and car in response to the force of gravity. The flange on the wheel spells safety to life and prop
erty. Yet who ever thinks of the flange when admiring the imposing progress of the "Lightning Express?" AND IT'S THE FLANGE THAT SAFEGUARDS YOU AT THIS
STOBE! Do you ever think what is the, controlling force of a big business like the Olds, Wortman & King Store? Is it the ample capital invested? The multiplied and varied
merchandise gathered from the four quarters of the globe? The immense buildings largest in the city devoted to retailing? The efficient corps of helpers, ever alert, intelligent,
obliging? The liberal and accommodating store policy? No one of these solely. They are but 'the train and what it represents a great business impelled onward by resistless and
untiring energy. "Steam!" There must be "steam" in a business if the business is to progress. What is the consolidating force, the "flange" that keeps a controlled for
ward motion? HONESTY Honesty Is the flange on the wheel of this bifeiness, that keeps the business on the straight road of fair dealing, land prevents it from flying off at
a tangent during the whirl and pressure of strained endeavor. Honesty prevents pursuit of will-o'-the-wisps of temporary gain by wrong doing that would eventually work
injury to the good name of the store. "Satisfaction or no Sale" that's the brake that stop3 the sale of inferior or unsatisfactory goods. For what is unsatisfactory comes back.
The store MUST sell good goods if it sells at all. "OLDS, WORTMAN & KING" is a synonym for "Success."
