HIS WHOLE PARTY ABSENT Vote of Censure on His Fiscal Policy Carried Without a Dissenting Vote-Speeches Mads to Empty Benches. LONDON, March 2S. In the House of Commons tonight a vote of censure of Premier Balfour's fiscal policy was unan imously carried Ministerialists abstaining from voting. The session was a repetition of the ses sion of March 22, when a resolution In troduced by Mr. Alnsworth (Free Trade liberal), condemning the government's proposition to Impose a general duty on manufactured goods, was -carried by a vote of 254 to 2. The Ministerial front benches tonight were entirely deserted, and only about a dozen Unionists, princi pally free traders, were present, when Mr- Walton (Liberal), moved a resolu tion as follows: "In view of the declaration made by the Prima Minister, this Souse thinks It necessary to record its condemnation ox his DOlicr of fiscal retaliation." The opposition had hoped that, in view of the fact that this was a vote or cen sure, the government would take up the challenge, and would not adhere to Its declared Intention of ignoring finance res olutions of private members; but Mr. Bal four declined to be drawn out, and the opposition was drlxen to address denun ciatory speeches to empty benches and reap the indirect -benefit of the effect of the government's refusal to fight when challenged. Mr. "Walton's motion was carried with out a division. In reply to an inquiry by Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, the speaker said the motion had been record ed as carried, nem con. At a Cabinet meeting held March 21 it was decided that In future the govern ment would not use pressure upon Its followers la regard to the opposition's resolutions framed to commit the govern ment on the finance Question. The fol lowers of Joseph Chamberlain took sim ilar action, and decided not to take part in debates or divisions on resolutions touching the tariff or fiscal question. The action of the government was equivalent to a declaration that the fiscal question is not a critical party issue. POPE LEO BLESSES BASILICA Gorgeous Ceremony in Honor of Du plicate of Lourdes Church. ROME, March 28. Above the grotto which stands before the famous tower of Leo IV in the Vatican gardens, where the late Pope spent his Summers, has been built an exact fac, simile of the Basilica of Lourdes. The new building was solemnly blessed by Pope Pius X to- oay in tne presence or a large assem blage. The expenses were covered by subscription opened in France by the Bishop of Tarbcs. The facade of the basilica is decorated with portraits of Pius IX, Leo XIII. Phis X and the Bishop of Tarbes in imitation mosaic. The Pope arrived on the spot in a car riage, escorted by Noble Guards in bril liant uniforms, and was received by the Papal Court, which made a striking ef fect with its gorgeous costumes in the blazing sun. The pontiff, who was warm ly cheered, assumed the pontifical robes and proceeded immediately with the cere mony of blessing the basilica, which was most brief. Afterwards the Pope imparted tljo apos tolic blessing to the 10,000 persons present. Including about 750 Americans, Spaying special attention to the French pilgrim age, which came to Rome under the-lead-ership of the Bishop of Tarbes on 'pur pose to be present at the ceremony. The Pope showed great satisfaction at today's function. He said that all his life he had desired to visit Lourdes, but had always been prevented. As he was now in the Vatican as Pope it was out of the question to go there. Therefore, he was most pleased to have a reproduc tion of the basilica of Lourdes in the gardens. The Bishop of Tarbes collected 515,000 to defray the expenses of the work. the object of trying to settle the Colom bian debt. The council lnformsthe As sociated Press that it does not see much hope of arrangement in Colombia's pres ent financial condition unless Panama can be prevailed upon to assume a por tion of the debt.

LONDON, March 28. In the House of Commons today Secretary of War Arnold Forster. on a motion in committee on the army estimates, made his annual state ment. He defended the policy the War Office and said the record for his admin istration showed that a number of changes had been made looking to placing the army on an efficient footing. The regular army could not be reduced because Great Britain was the only country in the world which was obliged to maintain an army on a war footing in times of peace. The danger of an invasion was not real. The, principal duty of the British army was to fight across seas and defend frontiers. They must eliminate the Idea of competition with great military "coun tries of the world and should merely apply their whole attention to supplying an army capable of defending the fron tiers. The lesson of the Russo-Japanese "War was that quality and not quantity produced success in modern warfare. Mr. Arnold-Forster outlined the changes made and contemplated, and said it gave, him great pleasure to be able to say that the Dominion of Canada had under taken from a certain date to bear the cost of guardianship of the great imperial fortresses situated In that country. He added that it would take seven years to make an impression on the great prob lems of army reorganisation. "What then could be expected in seven months? He urged the House to deal with the ques tion from a patriotic ana not from party or political standpoint. BL fight between the Hill and the Harriman interests may result any day in abroga tion of the compact entered into two years ago between tnem wnereoy eacn agreed to keep off the grass of the other. Mr. worthington is fully as reticent as his predecessors regarding the plans of his company. If It has any plans ror opening up Central Oregon. His disin clination to talk on such matters is, in measure, explained by his recent ar rival and consequent unfamiliar! ty with the situation. But from a man prominently inter ested in Central Oregon development It Is learned that not all the surveyors now in the . Central Oregon field are Northern Pacific men- According to his version, and he is in close touch with railroad affairs affecting his re gion, the O. R. & N. is making- great effort to locate an economical line of easy grade through the center of the state. The Columbia Southern, for somo distance north of Sbanlko and for sev eral miles bevond. passes through a region that would be productive -of lit tle or no revenue for a railroad. Fur thermore, construction of the road south of Shanlko for many miles would be very expensive work. East and West Line. To escape this expensive construc tion and at the same time reach the producing section by the shortest route, it Is said that the O. R. & N. will eventually throw a line across the state from east to west. This would brlnr the fine wheat lands of the Agency Plains and Haystack country in easy communication witn .foruana by way of the Willamette Valley, and feeder thrown south tnrougn central Oregon would tap the rich pine belt of the Deschutes River. The lumber traffic which would bo developed In that sactlon is one of the most alluring factors of the situation and its logical route to market is by way of an east and west road, instead of by an exten sion of the Columbia Southern, the haul over the latter road and the O. R. & N. to Ontario, Or., being several hundred miles longer than by a spur leading "north from Bend to the pro posed east and west road. It 1s the opinion of nearly all Port- landers who have visited the field that either the agricultural resources or the timber resources would be suffi cient to warrant the construction ot the road, and to a large number of the dwellers In the central and southern part of the state it is a matter of in difference whether it is an east and, west or a north and south road that enters the country. The peculiar ad vantage of the timber traffic out of that country lies In the fact that It would In no way Inerfere with the de mand for lumber from east or west of the Cascade Mountains, as the white and yellow pine of the Deschutes re gion fills a demand separate and apart from the fir. spruce and hemlock east of the mountains. ere ace to poisons used in proprietary med icines. It is true that some medicines contain poisons in small percentages-, but tne use is not nearly as general as- In physicians" prescriptions. A great many drugs which are recognised by every phy sician as helpful In small doses are pois onous when taken In excess. An elderly druggist told me a few days ago that he bad personally examined more than 100.000 physicians prescriptions!, and, by actual count, 0 per cent of them con tained an opiate. Tet analysis shows not a trace of opiate in the largest sellers among the proprietary remedies. Strychnine Is another dangerous drug largely prescribed by physicians. It Is used as a tonic and stimulant. Tet this is a drug- rarely found in proprietaries. The maker of a proprietary medicine must be more careful about the use of any poison than the physician. The phy sician is In a position to direct his doses and to watch, the results. He is able to take chances which no maker of a gen eral remedy will take, for fear that the direction on the bottle will not be ad hered to. There are thousands of physicians whose Interests are opposed to proprietary reme dies. They are ready to denounce a ready made remedy at the slightest evidence of harm from it. Yet how seldom we hear of any harm from proprietaries. I have myself never heard of a single authenti cated case. It is the lack of poison, rather than its presence, which forms the real objec tion to proprietaries. It is by using a poison which the medicine maker avoids that the physician often secures a greater effect. The maker of a remedy has too much at stake to use anything which will result In occasional harm. And this caution leads him often to omit Ingredi ents which he knows to be valuable. Proprietary remedies are used not alone by the poor who cannot afford to call a physician. They are employed by those to whom expense is of no .importance. And in ordinary ailments, when a physi cian is called, he prescribes a ready-made remedy. Proprietary remedies are at some time taken by all of us. They are found In nearly every home. And I know of no business where fraud has less chance of success than in medi cine. A worthless remedy Is very quickly found out. A sick -person will not long continue a remedy which does not help. The lack of merit in a food may remain long undiscovered, but if a medicine lacks virtue the fact is at once apparent. When I need a remedy for any ordinary ailment, my choice gees to a remedy so good that it made its maker rich. A DEFENDER. ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WEAK?

The Princess Ros pigliosi, formerly. Miss Marie Jennings Reid, of Now Orleans. Is seeking annul ment from the Church of Rome of her marriage with Colonel Frod H. Parkhurst, of Bangor, Me., who was her first hus band. The case of Princess Rospigliosi will soon be discussed before the Congre gation of the Propaganda, and it is gen erally bellevod by ecclesiastical authori ties that annulment will be granted, as the Parkhurst-Reld marriage was cele brated with a dispensation. Parkhurst being a Protestant. The marriage Is con sidered null and void. It being established that Colonel Parkhurst was never bap tized. The, Princess, who Is a Roman Catholic, was divorced In 1S33 from Colo nel parkhurst, and In 1201 married Prince Rospigliosi. The division of estates Milued at $15,000,000 depends on decision ot the case. Hope Panama Will Share Debt. LONDON. March 28. Negotiations have been opened by General Holguln, the European representative of the Republic of Colombia, with the council of the corporation ot foreign bondholders, with ELECTRIC light bills may be heavy, but it is better to pay them than to tap the company's, wires and have the doors of the penitentiary staring you In the face. At least, this Is now the opin ion of Sing Chong, who was yesterday held to await the action of the grand Jury. Judge Hogue listened to the testi mony In the case, and set bail at $400. Sing Chong, at the outset of the hearing. buried his yellow face In a handkerchief and wept, but the scene did not Impress the court, apparently, and it will take something stronger than tears to save the prisoner from a term In the "pen." John Rabyor. Jalntor in the Oddfellows' Hall, First and Alder streets; Louis Pape, chief Inspector for the Portland General Electric Company, and others, testified. They declared that Sing Chong tapped the wires on the top of his building at 230 Alder, and used the current for light ing his celestial den. He had cut off the Insulation from two wires, they said, and had lapped them around the big feed wire -and thereby got "Juice" without money and without price, until the sad night of the discovery and his arrest There has been considerable complaint in oertaln Quarters to the effect that Chinese in America are ill treated, but such cannot be said of L5n Sing, and Highbinder Jong Chong. Ltn was lined $30 by Judge Hogue three days ago for break ing a lamp in a Chinese store while he was drunk. "You fine Lin Sing too muchee," said Highbinder Jong Chong to Judge Hogue yesterday, upon mounting the witness stand, after a rehearing of the case was granted by the court. "Why?" asked Judge Hogue. "Well, him good man: him allghtee." was the answer. After some further discussion Judge Hogue set aside his former sentence and reduced the fine to 510. Then Highbinder Jong Chong , was "velly" happy and went away with a "fiend" rejoicing. "I'm too busy to come into the Muni cipal Court." Such was the answer sent back to Judge Hogue yesterday morning by William Iscnsce. who conducts a machine shop at 29 North Fifth street, when Judge Hojgue dispatched Special Policeman Mal let to summon him. Iscnsce is charged with a violation of the sidewalk or dinance. It being alleged that In front of his establishment there are obstructions. "Well, let a warrant be Issued for Isen see, and place him under $20 bonds." said Judge Hogue. Lter however, an "attorney entered the courtroom saying he represented Isensee, and asking for a delay of a day or two. He said he would see what could be done. To this Judge Hogue agreed. v Isensee was one of the first to be ar rested for refusal to comply with the ordinance, but when he appeared In court he promised to remedy matters and his case was continued, pending an adjust ment of the affair.

Roads Watch Each Other. Should the Northern- Pacific extend tho line of Its protege, the Washington & Columbia River Railway, from Pendle ton Into Morrow County and Interior Ore son. as it appears to contemplate doing. the O. R. & N. undoubtedly would throw a line of its own Into that region, prob ably running east and west through the slate to meet the invasion a route which it has already projected thus abandon ing the policy that has kept Interior Ore gon undeveloped within the zone of tho Harriman roads. Plans for .i Harriman line from the Willamette Valley Into Central Oregon were considered by A. L. Mchler. when he was president of the O. R. & X.. and by E. E. Calvin, when he was general manager of the O. R. & N. and tho Southern Pacific in Oregon, and it Is understood they are now being studied by -Mr. v ortnmgton, tne new general man agcr. Two routes over the Cascade Mountains into Eastern Oregon from tho Willamette valley have been Investigated. one of which may lead up the McKenzie River from Eugene, the pther up the Santlara from Albany over the line of the Corvallls & Eastern, which now termi nates at Detroit, some 20 miles west of tho summit of the mountains. O. R. & N officials profess themselves In dense ignorance of the designs of the northern racinc in Oregon and Wash Ington and pretend to discredit the re ports of Northern Pacific schemes south of Pendleton and In Wallowa County and In the Clearwater country. They will not admit that the Northern Pacific In tends soon to build a short-cut road to Lewistpn and Lo Lo Pass. .every once in a wnue. tney say "the O. R. & N. sends a surveying party Into the Clearwater country to relocate the lines of projected extensions; noth Ing more. Then the Northern Pacific becomes alarmed perhaps and sends sur veyors, too. But this is all that comes of the surveying expeditions save for a The fact Is that the term ''patent medi cines." as aDDlled to advertised remedies, is a misnomer. "Very few of the remedies advertised to the laity are patented. The real patent medicines are advertised to Dhvslcians alone. They are brought Into use almost solely through physicians' pre scriptions. Practical y all the synthetic cnemicais produced In late years are protected by patents. The most valuable products used by modem physicians are patented, xne coal tar preparations which are most widely used. and. the most effective germi cides. are among them. All physicians prescribe these remedies, yet they know that their owners control a monopoly. The largest pharmaceutical hus?s are not those which make remedies advertised In the newspapers. They make the reme dies which are advertised to physicians alone, and they control those remedies ab solutely by a patent or trademark. If the medical profession ceased to use these patented remedies, half the prescriptions which are written would need to be al tered. This does not bear out Mr. Bok's the ory that the discoverer of a remedy of real value gives It freely to the world The custom with those who Invent such remedies today is to patent them and con trol them. Just as docs the man who In vents a new machine. And the medical profession recognise and approve the method, for every modern physician pre scribes patented remedies more frequently than any others. And enormous enter prises are built solely on this fact. The mere fact, therefore, that a man controls a remedy, cither by a patent or trademark, does not argue against It. It is rather evidence that the man has something which-he considers worth controlling. If the man. in addition, spend? large sums In advertising, whether to. physicians or to the laity, it forms to me further evidence of value. Nothing is more cer tain than the fact that a worthless article cannot bo advertised profitably. Those who know advertising know that the cost of selling a bottle or package to new user Is several times the profit made on It. The only hope of profit comes through continued use; and, without merit, continued use cannot be expected. When a man has made a success In ad vertised a medicine. It is to me the best evidence possible that be has something good. A physician may put up a prescription for some individual case without giving much thought to IL But if that physician Is going to spend a fortune on advertis Ing. with no possibility of getting his money back unless he satisfies millions of users, he Is naturally going to put up the best prescription he can make. If he Is wise he will get the best . prescription for his purpose that any man can make. Tben there Is the question of alcohol which Mr. Bok seems to consider such a perilous one. All the fluid extracts and tinctures used In medicine must employ alcohol as a solvent and preservative. ! Prohibit a physician from using alcohol in his prescriptions and you would make the practice of medicine impossible. If a physician must use alcohol In certain pre scriptions, shall we complain that a ready made medicine employs it for the same purpose? If we are going to avoid the use of alcohol we must banish the extracts and essences used in our kitchen. Fluid ex tracts, whether they are medicinal .or cu linary, cannot be made or preserved with out alcohol. The use of alcohol In medicine Is ap proved by the pharmacopoeias of all na tions. It Is In. accord with the practice of all medical authorities In the world. The abuse of alcohol Is another mat ter, but the cost alone Is enough to pre vent abuse. Alcohol costs about C60 per gallon. It Is too expensive for any medi cine maker to use more than he needs of it. And he cannot hope that people are going to take the medicine because of the alcohol, when good whisky can be pur chased for one-fifth as much. A dose ot medicine which contains even SO per cent of alcohol does not seem to me a very dangerous matter. That means one-fifth of a teaspoonful of alcohol at a time. Physicians do not hesitate to give brandy to a child in teaspoonful doses, and brandy Is half alcohol. "When one compares medicine with wine or beer, he should also compare the dosage. One j takes more alcohol In a .glass of wine than AT THE THEATERS What tho Press Agents 8ay Elks at Columbia Tonight.
