Taft Takes Leaders of Antis
to Philippines.
THEY MAY SEE A NEW LIGHT
Opponents of Reduction of Tariff on
Philippine Products Are in Party
of Congressmen Talk of
Junket Impossible.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ngton. April S. Secretary Taft was wise
In making up the personnel of the party
which is to accompany him to the Philippines-
Xot only has he arranged it so
as to prevent partisan criticism of the
trip as a so-called Junket, but he has also
arranged to take on this tour of educa
tion men who have severely criticised the
policy of the Administration, and espc
tially the management of the Philippines.
Of the nine Senators who accompany him,
six Daniel of Virginia, Dubois of Idaho,
Poster of Louisiana, Newlands of Ne
vada, Patterson of Colorado and Stone of
Missouri are Democrats- The severest
critic of the Philippine policy of the Ad
ministration In the Senate, with one cx
tepton, Is Patterson of Colorado. No man
has been so hitter in his denunciation of
the retention of the islands, of the meth
ods pursued, by the Army in the Phil
ippines, or of the so-called colonial policy
of the Government, as Patterson.
Among the Representatives are five
Democrats, and one of them is the ablest
man on the Democratic side De Armond
of Missouri. Ho is no such orator as
Bourke Cockran, of New York, who also
accompanies the Secretary, but these two
together will represent in the next House
of Representatives the strongest element
of the Democratic party. Another Dem
ocrat who has always opposed the Gov
ernment in its Philippine policy and who
Is the ranking minority member of the
Insular committee, is Jones of Virginia.
While Jones Is no such strong speaker as
cither De Armond or .Cockran, he has a
fund of information which he has always
had ready for his friends of the minority
whenever Philippine affairs were boing
discussed.
V
May-Change Opinion on Tariff.
Of course "it is'expected that those men
n ho are going on the trip" will be edu
cated regarding the Islands and will be
ready at the next session of Congress to
legislate more intelligently for them. It
is interesting in this connection to note
that Dubois. Foster and Patterson, the
staunchest opponents of reduction of the
duty on Philippine sugar, are In the party.
These three men represent Louisiana
cane-sugar growers, and the beet-sugar
Interests of the Rocky Mountain region.
They hare been able in two successive
Congresses to defeat legislation for the
reduction of the duty on Philippine sugar
and tobacco from 76 to 25 per cent of tho
Dmgley rates. "Whether they will re
turn with the same fixed ideas remains
to be sen. but it would not be strange if
they should see a new light after visiting
the islands. There are a number of men
in the party who are strongly in favor
of reducing the duty on Philippine prod
ucts coming into this country, and some
are willing to grant free trade. If Mr.
Taft succeeds In convincing men who are
?o bitterly opposed to the reduction of
this duty ho will have - accomplished a
great deal, and the result of the trip will
be worth many times more than it will
cost the Philippine government.
Cannot Call It a Junket.
It is doubtful whether any particular
criticism will be passed upon the -expedition
or that It will be referred to as a
Junket, bocause of the prominence of the
men in the party and the fact that both
parties are wolf represented." It Iff not
likely that the members of the House are
going to say things that would be person
alJy offensive to Speaker Cannon and Mr.
Payne, leader of the majority, and men
like De Armond and Cockran, of the mi
nority. The men who 'accept the invita
tion are bound to defend the trip if it is
criticised, and while some criticisms are
already afloat through the papers, those
who are most familiar with Philippine
affairs think that the personal observa
tion -of These Congressmen is the best
thing that can happen for -the Philippine
Islands.
SMITH'S EIGHT POB LIBERTY
Raise Legal Points Against Extradi
tion to" New York.
CINCINNATI. April " 3. The contest
by J. Morgan Smith and wife, relatives
of Nan Patterson, against extradition,
and Hie fight against the New York de
tectives will go hand In hand. This was
indicated by the proceedings in court to
day. Mr. Shay, attorney for the de
fense, asiked for time to prepare an an
swer. The court granted until "Wednes
day, when the habeas corpus proceedings
will be disposed of.
Mr. Shay was asked what he intended
to do about the letters of the Smiths
that were taken by the detectives and
sent to New York, no ropllcd that
action would be taken against the offi
cers. When the habeas corpus case in be
half of Smith was called Shay alleged
that the information or affidavit upon
which the Smiths are held in Cincinnati
was made out after the writ of habeas
corpus had been issued.
"If this is true, the persons now in
custody are held Illegally and ought to
oe set free." said Judge Spiecel.
I wish to procure witnesses to show
that this is true." said Mr. Shay, -and
therefore ask for a continuance."
"Your honor." said Prosecuting At
torney Rullson. "we have all of the
papers here to hold these poople with
the exception of the copy of the Indict
ment. We telegraphed to New York
Saturday afternoon and received word
that tho copy was being made In all
haste and would be expressed hore im
mediately, nils morning by long-distance
telephone we ascertained that tho
papers had been sent, and wo have been
trying all morning to locate the money
wagon of the Adams Express Company,
In which the package will be found. The
package arrived here this morning, but
so far has not been delivered. We are
ready to go on with the habeas corpus
proceedings, but ask for a continuance
In the matter of the extradition."
The court then - continued the ca.se. re
manding the prisoners to the County
Jail in charge of the Sheriff.
The nucleus of the defends conten
tion is that tho requisition papers, wore
7iot issued by Governor Herrick. but -by
a clerk and that the issue of papers of
extradition is an executive prerogative
which cannot be delegated. Vlrn the
papers were issued Governor Herrlck and
his party were in Texas. He had left
with his executive clerk a number of
forms of extradition papers signed in
blank. It was one of these blanks that
was duly filled out for the return of "the
Smiths to New York.

Cayuse Chief Who Spent Fortune
PENDLETON. Or.. March 30. (Spe-
clal Correspondence to The Orc
gonian.) White Bull, a proud Cay-
use braye. tilled up on firewater and '
started up the railroad track, and meet- !
ing a train on the same track, has joined
his fathers In the happy hunting-grounds. t
White Bull, or Tu-sum-hl-hi. as he was
christened by his Cayuse mother, was one
of the. most prominent Indians on the
Umatilla reservation, and within the past
year lias been a gallant of the most pro- '
nounccd type. He was born on the res-
ervatlon ten miles oast of Pendleton, 43
years ago, and lcavs a wh"e and one
child. J
About a year ago "White Bull, becoming
weary of the burdens .of mannglng a
farm, ."old off his land, realizing $3000 from j
the sale. He did not know exactly what (
to do with his money, and so begau mak- j
Ing presents to his friends and relatives.
For three weeks the many friends of
the generous brave enjoyed his hospital-
ity and lived from his bounty. Ho gave 1
presents of "chaps," saddles, lariats, sil- i
ver spurs and gorgeous robes to, all the
young bucks of his acquaintance, and to '
place the cap sheaf on his fit of generos- '
ity. Invited 2. bucks to a feast at the Jap-
anese noodle restaurant on Cottonwood j
street, in Pendleton. This is said to have i
been the "swellest" spread to which an .
Indian was ever Invited in Pendleton. ,
White Bull was the hero of the evening, ,
and the Japanese wondered what position
the Cayuse held among his people that he .
should thus spend his Income.
After his generosity waxed cool on the
Umatilla reservation he decided to pay
a visit to his cousins, the Yakimas, and
accordingly gathered hiK 25 poules to
gether, and taking his wife and children
and a few select friends.," crossed over to
the Yakima reservation, 'where he once
more opened hie purse to his wondering
incnos ana relatives. I
The saddle-makers in North Yakima re- 1
ported the heaviest sales of the year dm- j J
ing the three weeks this plutocratic brave f
from Umatilla was in the city. . 7
White Bull was an intelligent Indian,
shrewd, aggressive and a leader among
his tribesmen, but he was a slae to '
drink, and had been repeatedly warned I f
by Major Moorhouse. his best friend, to I
beware of the danger. J
At the time of death, last Sunday night
he had but little of bis $3000 left, having
spent most of it ror whisky. His drunken
orgies at his tepee on the reservation are
said to have been gruesome and disgust
ing. He took the name . White -Bull from

H& PLAYED A'BOLD- GAME
RUSSIAN OPINION OF KAISER'S
ACTION IN MOROCCO.
Gave France a Lesson and Made
Ground for Carrying Naval Pro
gramme His Talk to Sultan.
ST. PETERSBURG. April 3. The devel
opments resulting from Emperor Will
lam's speech at Tangier Friday continue
to attract great discussion In the press
and in diplomatic circles. The sober view
is that the German Emperor seized on a
favorable opportunity to read France a
lesson for leaving Germany out of con
sideration In the French-British under
standing regarding Morocco, with the view
poselbly of compelling France to make
a permanent renunciation of her aspira
tions regarding Metz and Alsace-Lorraine,
also with the' practical purpose of
securing a vote in the Reichstag next Fall
for a larger nava programme.
There Is no serious Idea that the inci
dent may lead to a conflict. With Russia
on fee bled. France will have to look to
Great Britain to play tho role of protec
tor assumed by Russia when Germany
threatcned her in 1873, and there is a good
deal of speculation on tho subject of the
new grouping of the powers. The homo
papers, however, declare that while the
British press may bluster. Great Britain
has her quid pro quo In Egypt and will
leave France to take care df herself.
The Novoo Vreraya says that the action
of Emperor Willlam'Is a very bold etroke
on tho part of Germany and a further
ovldence of her rialry with Great Britain
more than with France. The paper char
acterizes His Majesty's proclamation as
a "Teutonic Monroe Doctrinejn Northern
Africa for the protection of the Mussul
mans," pointing out the manner In which
German commercial Interests are spread
ing In the Balkans and the Increase of
Germany's political influence in Turkey,
where she is seeking to block Great Brit
ain's scheme to sever Arabia for the pur
pose of joining It .to Egypt.
The Gazette says It thinks the German
Emperor made a great blunder, which can
only result In embittering the anti-German
feeling, both In France and Great
Britain, in bringing out better relations
tootwecn France and Great . Britain and
emphasizing the isolation of Germany.
The Foreign Office Is reticent, declining
to do .more than to express the opinion
that the Tangier incident increases the
difficulty of the position of France's ally.
THREW SOP TO MAHOMMEDANS
Kaiser's Address to Sultan Favored
Reform on Islamic Lines.
LONDON, April -1. The correspondent
at Tangier of the Times asserts that the
correct version of Emperor William's
conversation with representatives of the
Sultan of Morocco is as follows:
"The Emperor declared that he had
come expressly to Tangier to assert that
he would maintain the absolute equality
of German economic and commercial
rights and that ho would not allow any
power to obtain preferential advantages.
Tho Sultan, he said, was the free sov
ereign of a free country and Germany
would Insist on always carrying on her
affairs with him and would never allow
any power to net as an Intermediary.
"The present was an unsuitable time
to introduce reforms on European lines
and all refrms should be founded on Is
lamic lines and traditions. What Morocco
required was absolute peace and quiet
and he would find means later on of
making his opinion known on questions
of detail. Finally, the Emperor declared
that he had mado these views quite
clear in a conversation with the French
charge d'affaires."
FRANCE FEELS THE SHOCK.
Kaiser's Speech Almost Open Affront,
but Government Is Passive.
PARIS, April 3. The Morocco incident
is dally making a dceper" Impression, and
while calmness continues to prevail, there
Is a growing sense of the rudeness of
the shock which Emperor William's visit
to Tangier and his declarations give to
French policies. However, for the present
It is evident that the purpose is to adopt
a passive attitude and await the develop
ment of events. This was shown by a
conference at the Foreign Office today
between Foreign Minister Delcasse and
sevoral deputies who wished to question
him In the Chamber concerning Morocco.
The Foreign Minister asked for an ad
journment of the questions, saying there
was nothing to add to what he had al
ready stated in the Senate. Accordingly
the questions were Indefinitely postponed.
The Temps tonight says the authorized
version of Emperor William's remarks at
il
Tu-sroi-m-in
10 years of age he was blindfolded and j
led to the top of a high hill, whore his
O cs were uncvercd- arid the first thing
Tangier makes It useless to deny the
disobliging character of such words,
which "constitute almost the maximum,
short of openly quarreling with France,
that William II could attempt in order
to be disagreeable." .
However, the general tone of the press
is singularly frco from belligerent or
menacing talk.

lowed to take their course in the local

Tho President added that Venezuela

ing up to their contracts, it will also
prove that the Venezuelan courts will as

Venezuela's external debt, and said ar
rangements also had been made for the

PAXMA TRUSTS TO THE SENATE
Cuban President Confident Isle of
Pines Treaty Will Pass.
HAVANA. April 3. The seventh session
of the Cuban Congress began today.
President Palma's message, referring to
the adjournment of the United States
Congress without confirming the Isle of
Pines' treaty, says:
Knowing, as we all know, ths essenti&lly
moral character of the American people
and the unexampled kindness with which
they loaned' aid so that Cuba could be con
stituted an Independent nation, there is no
reason for doubting that during the comin?
Congress that high body. Inspired always by
tho rplrlt of Justice, win approve the treaty,
thus fulfilling the honest purpose of the
illustrious citizen who exercises the duties
of Arts magistrate of thatgrcat republic.
The message outlines the Increasing
good financial status of the Government.

C00 and exports $sj. 978,000, an increase In
Imports of $15.7&1,000 and exports of $11,

WHAT WHISKEY COSTS
THE DRUNKARD
Cure the Drink Habit With Orrlne
and Save Money.
"Whisky drinking does not pay. Take
the lowest possible view, without count
ing the loss of friends, the loss of busi
ness, tho loss of manhood that comes to
the drunkard; consider simply the ac
tual money paid out, and see what It
costs In dollars- and cents. Uood author
ity states that nearly one-third of the
wages of the laboring man goes over the
bar. How much are you contributing?
Figuro up for one month how much you
take from your wife and children and
pay out In exchange for drink. The total
will astonish you, and you will swear off.
Will-power alone will not cure the habit.
Use Orrlne, the only guaranteed cure for
the habit. It can be used without pub
licity or loss of time. It strengthens the
nerves, gives a good appetite and re
treahlng sleep. The cost is small, ?1 per
boxr Orrlne is sold" and recommended by
