PflEsS ADVISES PATIENCE Confidence Is Expressed That the Government's Negotiations Will ;j Result in a Pacific SetUc r ment-of the -Affair. - PARIS, June 2fi. Speculation Is rife regarding the probable purport of Ger-manySs-.reply to-the -.French' note- re . gardlng- the proposed International conference over Moroccan affairs, which reply has not yet been received- The statement that Germany "would refrain from replying before further verbal explanations took place between Pre mier Bouvler and Prince von Itadolln, the German Ambassador, is not regard ed seriously In well-Informed circles, where It is thought probable that an interview will not take place before "Wednesday, when the reply from Ber lin may reach Paris, but the officials are without definite ' information on this point. It is alleged the .contents of the reply were given out today in which Germany requests a clearer statement of;theErench .programme for Moroccan affairs, suggesting that each subjoct be discussed separately in ac cordance with the terms of the Madrid convention, the two points principally referred to" between-coast trading fron tiers, and that should France accept, Germany would abandon the idea of a conference. This, however, 16 regarded as a surmise. Meanwhile public anxiety regarding eventualities, though somewhat abated. Is still Intense. The press continues to advise patience and confidence in the effort of the French government to ar rive at a pacific settlement. It is point ed out that the negotiations have here tofore been conducted In a spirit of courtesy and that appearances show that everything Is being done by both sides to roach an amicable arrangement. Blame the British Newspapers. BERLIN, June 25. Chancellor von Bue low received M. Blhourd, the French Am bassador, today. The newspapers continue to discuss the situation between France and Germany with heat The North German Gazette declares that "In Premier Rouvlers note the republic adopts no decided stand to ward a conference, and therefore the sit uation is no clearer." An attempt is being made to shift the responsibility" for the recent war panic to articles in the British press, and the Na tional Zeitung solemnly reminds France that a Franco-German conflict would not be decided by a Trafalgar, but on French or German battlefields. France an Object of Envy. TROTES, France. June 25. In a speech here today M. Etlenne. Minister of the Interior, referred to the difficulties through which France was passing. He said the Fronch nation was an- object of envy and Jealousy. Because she was ex tending her frontiers and spreading her ideas abrbad she "had become a target for those whom she Inconvenienced; but the nation would preserve its dignity by giv ing to the world proof of Its wisdom, and would assure her destiny by uniting for a realization of the Ideals of Justice and the development of material prosperity under the aegis of the army. CHURCH DEBATE IS CONCLUDED Chief Points in French Bill Have Been Decided Upon. PARIS. June 25. "With the settle ment by the Chamber of Deputies of the controversial point in the church and state separation- .bill, relating to the formation of. governing bodies des tined to take over control of the churches, the debate was practically concluded. "The basis of reform, Includ ing the cutting of. the bonds uniting the church and state, the abolition of budgetary provision for members of the clorgy except those entitled to pen sions, the future disposal of religious edifices and the constitution of parish societies, all aroused heated discussion. The last-named question attracted the close attention of the opponents of the bill, the desire being to prevent church property becoming the object of -future -political strife. . It was finally" decided that the governing bod ies shall have power to make church collections and charges for ceremonies and to form reserve funds for the main tenance of the clergy and the edifices, but they are not to be allowed to re ceive legacies. The section permitting societies to federate int6 diocesan unions, -eventually to form a national federation, aroused h strong protest from the so cialists and free thinkers. The chair man of the committee maintained that the state did not desire -to .render the churQh Impotent to continue its work, which would be the case unless mutual Intercourse -and assistance were al lowed. Finally, with a proviso for official supervision of the finances of the so cieties, in order to prevent the funds being . used .for political propaganda, the clausV 'was accepted. The only point left for discussion Is the regulation of public worship, with penalties for breaches of the law. M'CORMICK GIVES RECEPTION Brilliant Company of Diplomats at New American Embassy.

Charles Warren Stoddard, in the Na tional Magazine. We went forth Into a Tog that was of the pea-soup variety. It seemed useless to wait -any longer for it to dear off. The days were all alike and were darker than twilight ever dared to be. I clang .to Mufford's coat sleeve, for I knew if he were once to get beyond my reach I could never hope to And him again. We groped blindly among the streets, where the atmosphere was only lees pal pable than the houses that walled us In. At Intervals we inquired where wc were, for otherwise we could never have known at all. We had to feel our way carefully and take soundings at intervals. "Here." said Prentice, as we paused in space. "Here is Temple Bar." I thought I saw something that might have been the ghost or an arch hewn out of the solid fog. The top of it. though It was not lofty, was lost to view. Temple Bar, now gone forever from tbe place where Its gates once swung in the wall of tbe old city. It was here her gracious Majesty Victoria of England was went to receive the keys of the city from the hands of the Lord' Mayors, when she drove In state to St. Paul's Cathedral. We threaded ( Fleet street, but could not see to the farther shore. "Here is Her Majesty's Tower," said j Prentice, but nothing of It was visible. . not one stone upon another. We crossed j London Bridge almost without knowing ; it: the waters of the Thames, which are ' but condensed fog. were Invisible from I the parapet, and the steam, ferries were picking their way cautiously and looking very like marine monsters In a muddy aquarium. We crawled through the tun nel for foot traffic under the Thames, which was like a hole in tho fog. for hours carried the sky about on our shoul ders: It was a woolly, greasy and ill smelling sky. Our nostrils were clogged with cinders, like chimney flues, and there were smudges all over our faces. Some times for a moment or two we saw a spot overhead that was like a pale red wafer, and we knew it tor the sun, now lost to us. The lamps that burned all day were like glow worms for. dimness, and so we explored the wonders of the town and saw as much of It as a blind man sees, no more. It was London in a fog.

Washington Schools Take Advantage of the Xevr Law. SEATTLE, Wash.. June 2i. (Spe cial) The textbooks fastened upon the state Ave years ago by the State Board of Education have been dis carded this Summer in most of tho schoolj of the state. Under the act which permita cities or union districts maintaining a high school to select their own textbolcs and County Com missioners to choose books for smaller communities new books have been chosen generally throughout the state. The. schoolbook scandal that fol lowed the selections announced five years ago destroyed the "state uni formity scheme. There had been pre vious schoolbook scandals but the fight over the selections made by Governor Rogers' second Board of Education cre ated the storm that resulted in doing away with the Stale Board's authority. The Legislature of 1S01 passed the bill that killed state uniformity. It was vetoed by Governor Rogers, but parked over his veto at the special session later that year. Harr Wagner's geography. the Hughes' speller, vertical writing sys tems. Horatio Alllngs civics and a number of other crudities came into the state as a result of the five-year contract with the Westland Publishing Company. That corporation was formed at Olympla to handle the job. Some of the textbooks -were written to order and' school authorities recall the stren uous efforts to get something out of a reference work, for example, that lo cated Washington towns without any reference to geographical conditions. Many of the larger school districts adopted a number of supplemental works that saved them. The others struggled along until the books were rewritten, but in no district has there been satisfaction. Practically all of the books adopted five years ago have been thrown out now. In some of those districts where the free textbook system prevails tifts is an expensive move. In Seattle, for ex ample. It will cost approximately $29, 090 to make the change. A number of the better school works were saved or the cost would have been doubled. In districts where the free textbook sys tem does not pervall the cost falls upon parents or guardians. Threshing Prices In Linn. ALBANY, Or.. June 2& (Special.) The operators of threshing machines in Linn County have agreed upon a schedule of prices for the coming harvesting season.

This sea son the thresberraen have departed from tho time-honored custom of charging so much per bushel for the work, and will charge by the sack. The rate agreed upon follows: Wheat. 13c per sack: oats. 10c per sack; cheat. 10c per sack; barley, 11c per sack: vetch mowed, SOe per sack; vetch bound. 33c per sack, or $10 per hour. It was fur ther agreed that the whistle for begin ning work should be blown at 5:45 o'clock in the morning and at 7:30 o'clock In the evening, and that wages for a man. team and wagon should be $2.50 per day. or a man alone $1.50 per day.

DEMANDS ARE ONLY FAIR Merchants and Stndents Are Asked to Be Given Freer Access to the United States- Grounds 1 .for Complaint. SEATTLE. Wash.. June 33. (Special.) Howard E. Avery, of New York, president -of the China &. Japan Trading Comany, one of the most powerful corporations operating In China, has stirred up local exporting interests and the steamship lines operating between this port and Chinese points. As a result of a two days' visit to Seattle, strenuous efforts will be made here to swing Seattle's influence into line to grant tbe concessions demanded by Chinese merchants to avoid a boycott of American goods. The Asiatic Association and Chamber of Commerce are both to be urged to adopt strong resolutions similar to the ones Portland adopted. Saturday. Those reso lutions are regarded by shipping Inter ests as indicating the Interest of the Coast in tho boycott of American goods. Seattle Is close enough to the Interna tional boundary and affiliated closely enough with the Chinese trade to reallzo the situation In which the Chinese mer chants are placed. The case of Ah Jim, known even by the Immigration officers to have been a resident of this state for 23 years, and a local capitalist. Is a case in point. Ah Jim has been held up at Sumas for more than two weeks because officious local Immigration officers ques tioned his papers. He has made six round trips to China, and has never been Ques tioned before. Not an Isolated Case. Thi Is not an Isolated case, but merely one of a large number with which Seat tle men are familiar. Tbe pernicious ac tivity of the immigration officers is inter preted by the laymen "to be due to the same cause that makes a policeman fight desperately to convict any one he arrests. Irrespective of the facts. There is a grow ing local sentiment that tbe immigration officers are out for a reputation for turn ing back Chinese, Irrespective of their right to land. Of course this action only affects Chi nese merchants belonging in this country, but the same harsh policy of exclusion Is worked against visiting merchants and students, the basis for the big protest In China. Moreover, influential local Chl nsse have taken up the question with then- representatives In this country and have asked that the Federal authorities be stopped from their course. It is only a few weeks ago. as The Ore gonlan told at the time, that local Immi gration officers broke down doors In the Seattle Chinatown arrested a number o merchants and others who have long re aided here, and forced them before a United States Commissioner. Out of these raids grew the agitation that resulted In a vigorous protest to the Chinese Minister and a request for the removal of several Immigration officers and the local Chinese interpreter. Chin Jack, who was accused of inciting the raids. Steamship Companies Interested. The Boston Steamship Company and the Great Northern Steamship Company are the most interested in the threatened boy cott. Both of these companies have been stirred up by Mr. Ayers' visit, and both are ready to support the exporting houses In their effort to compromise with the Chinese mechants. Frank Waterhouse. of the Boston Steamship Company, will probably take the Initiative, for J. D. Farrell. president of the Great Northern Steamship Com pany, is not in Seattle. "If the boycott on American goods is put into effect even American merchant in China might as well move out." In sisted Mr. Avery to tho steamship com- palnei. "Tho effect of such a boycott would bo more disastrous to American in terests than a war, for American goods will be wiped out of the market. The Chinese trade for American goods is han dled by a close organization of Chinese merchants, who are able to make this boycott most effective." Cotton Goods Trade Paralyzed. This Is the warning sounded by a man who has been engaged in the Chinese trade since 1SS3. and who knows what he is talking about. His talk with thejsteam- sblp rr.on impressed them more than any of the dispatches from Washington or the reports from other Coast points. "The cotton goods trade will be para lyzed If the boycott Is established." MK Ayers continued. "In the South fortunes have been Invested In the manufacture of domestics for shipment to the Chinese market. If this market Is shut off It is questionable whether another can be found to take Its place. In Itself the threat of .the loss of our market for cotton goods Is sufficient to arouse the Govern ment to action." Frank Waterhouse believes the Presi dent will take action looking toward rais- A WIDOW'S LUCK Qnlt the Thing That Was Slowly Killing Her. A woman tells how coffee kept her from insuring her life: "I suffered for' many years chiefly from trouble with my heart, with. se vere "nervous headaches and neuralgia: but although Incapacitated at times for my housework. I did not realize the gravity of my condition till I was re jected for life Insurance, because, the examining physician said, my heart was so bad he could not pass me. This distressed me very much, as I was a widow and had a child dependent upon me. It was to protect her future that I wanted to insure my life. "Fortunately for me. I happened to read an advertisement containing testimonial from a man who had been affected in the same way that I was with heart trouble, and who was cured by leaving off Coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. I grasped at the hope this held out. and made the change at once. "My health began to improve Imme diately. The headaches and neuralgia disappeared, I gained in flesh, and my appetite came back to me at once. Greatest of all. my heart was strength ened from the beginning, and- soon all the dlstresing symptoms passed away. No more waking up in the night with my heart trying- to fly out of my mouth! Then I again made application for life Insurance, and had no trouble in passing tne xneaicai examination. "It was seven years ago that I began to us Postum Food Coffee, and I am "using it a till, and shall continue to do so. as I find In It a guarantee of good health." Name given by Postum Com pany.

Fifth and Alder Streets Remember, Ave are manufacturers of Ladies' Garments and have genuine expert tailors to fit you. Ing the restrictions against Chinese mer chants and students whose entry into this country is prevented. Few Coolies Want to Come. "IWlth the exception of a small district about Canton." Mr. Ayec said today, "the Chinese coolies do not want to come to this country- For that matter there are not enough of these coolies coming here to occasion any alarm. The Chi nese government is no more anxious to have. the coolies come here than we are to receive them. There is no possibility of danger from an influx of coolie labor. At that they are no lew desirable than the low class of. Europeans flooding our Eastern states "The labor unions that are fighting against a possible Chinese influx are shortsighted In their policy, for there is ' no danger from that source and more over the laboring men will lose more from the loss of our Chinese markets than they would If the coolies came." What the Chinese Want. Elaborating on this argument Frank Waterhouse says: "All the Chinese ask Is that their mer chants and students be allowed freer access to this country- They want their students to come here to study: their merchants to come to buy goods. They will not remain silent so long as the harsh restrictions now raised against them prevail and every Chinese merchant or student is subjected to indignities. It certainly seems to me that we can grant this little concession. If we do not we will sacrifice far more from the effect of the boycott for our advices all indicate such a boycott would be most severe."
