THE XOKMGSG OREGOXIA2T, TVEDXESDAY, ' JTJXE 25,-1905. HUNDREDS AT CDTTDN 0 Representative Men of the State Dine With the Judge-Elect. MANY ADDRESSES MADE Portland and Oregon Discussed En thusiastically and Bright Future Predicted Event One of Season's Most Brilliant. Salhualasm, harmony of purpose and unity of sentiment for achieving great things for Portland and Oregon was the dominant spirit manifested last night at the popular-priced dinner at the Ameri can Inn. Lewis and Clark Fair grounds, under the Joint auspices of the commer cial organizations of the city, at which William Wick Cotton was the guest of honor. No wine or spirituous liquors of any sort were served during the evening and attendance of more than 775 rep resentative men of the state made neces sary occupancy of the general dining room of the big caravansary. Hearty, earnest and prolonged com mendation was had of the expressions pronouncing in no uncertain tones the de cision of leaders in business affairs that Portland shall occupy the position of prominence in commerce of the Pacific to which the city is entitled by right of distinctive natural advantages; that har monious effort must continue without cessation until the mouth of the Colum bia River is no longer an impediment to passage of the largest ocean carriers, and that the stream must likewise be- open to as near its source as depth of -water will float a flat-bottomed boat, and with wel coming acclaim received the pledge of the newly-appointed Judge of the United States District Court that he proposes to devote his leisure time to this and other Important affaire concerning the future of the commonwealth. Likewise there was Indorsement of the purpose to en deavor to bring about the adoption of a new treaty with China and making pro vision whereby limited immigration of Orientals may be admitted for a period of years. Wheelwright as Toastmaster. William D. Wheelwright, toastmaster. was at his best, as ever a master of dic tion, polished of manner and with race cleverness mingled pleasing repartee with forceful and eloquent presentation of cold, hard business facts. He referred to the assemblage as "A business men's meeting to honor one who is not a busi ness man. but who has done an unusual thing In this day of, commercialism, to lay down an office of large emoluments to accept higher honors In serving the public In an official capacity." Rabbi Stephen S. Wise was introduced as a representative of the race to which humanity is Indebted for numerous of the greatest leaders of thought and ac tion through many centuries, and as one whose thoughts are lofty, clear and vi brating as songs from the mountain to people of the valleys. Dr. Wise capti vated his hearers with the happy manner In which he treated his topic of "Loyal ties and Enthusiasm." declaring that "this Is the first Instance in the fivo years since I have been a resident of Portland of an exhibition of the spirit of get-togetherness. In this loyalty and enthusiasm I find a prophesy. We owe it to Portland because this is a city of rare beauty, of moral, political and commercial greatness, destined to be the metropolis of the Northwest. Atthls time, ushering In a new era of the Oregon Country, we owe It to ourselves that the Journey of Lewis and Clark shall not have been in vain. We must make this the center not only of the commerce of this section of our own country, but of the world, since by the action of President Theodore Roose velt in bringing together the two great nations engaged In conflict of arms this country became more distinctively a world powor a few weeks ago than it has before been." After paying a beau tiful tribute to the worth of the guest of honor. Dr. Wise closed with the an ticipation that he will prox-e a worthy successor of the late Judge Bellinger, of whom future generations may employ as a term of highest praise and noblest tribute of any man "that he was the equal of Judge Cotton." Governor Pardee Speaks. Governor George C. Pardee spoke in most felicitous language of the harmony of Interests that ousht to prevail at all times between California and Oregon, and speaking in response to the toast: "The National Irrigation Congress," told of how, under the magic of irrigation, it might be expected Jhat the ptates lying between the Pacific Shore and mighty Mississippi will teem with a population not less dense than that of the most productive regious of the old or new world. Governor Pardee was welcomed with a rousing applause and his clevcr hms a an after-dinner speaker was rel ished thoroughly. In closing he voiced his pleasure In being present to rejoice with the buslneM men of the community In honoring the elevation of a distinguish ed citizen. Theodore B. Wilcox, responding to the toast the "Trans-Mlsplsslppl Commercial Congress," acquainted his auditors with the organlratlon wmcn ne characterized as a "great big board of trade extend ing over the territory comprised in 24 states and territories," dwelling upon tne themes of importance to be considered at the forthcoming convention of the congress in Portland during August. Especial stress was laid upon the neces clty for a new treaty with China by which a limited number of Chinese Immi grants shall be annually admitted to the country for a period of years, as a mat ter of Justice to that country, without regard to any fear of action that China may take detrimental to American trade interests. Removal of the embargo now raised against China, he declared, would be but a tardy act of fairness by a na tion celebrated for this characteristic. which besides would prove a substantial slbsldy to steamship lines operating on the Pacific, the bringing of 50.0M Immi grants annually being sufficient to yield a revenue of from 52.0Ctt,000 to $3,000,000. In which no other ocean transportation lines could share any more than those of the Pacific can claim a division of the immense Immigrant traffic of the Atlantic. Senator Fulton's Address. I.nUed States Senator Charles WrFul ion. to whom was accorded the place pre ceding the guest of honor, whom he in troduced, took occasion to refer to the fact that It seemed rather extraordinary that in this day. when so much is being said anent the regulation and control of corporations, that a distinguished official of one of the largest of these companies should be selected for appointment, but declared that no discordant note had ben "heard, because the public reposed the most absolute confidence in the sterling Integrity and unimpeachable) character of Judge Cotton, whom the Senator declared that he believes will In tint be Justified by elevation to the highest tribunal of the land. Senate, ultoa- .took occasion, to pro claim in positive terms his conviction that the time has come when transporta tion systems of the country must be con trolled under Government supervision, and that' the so-called private-car companies must bo regulated or aboltstied. Judge Cotton Replies. There was deep emotion in the voice and manner of William Wick Cotton, who has already received his commission and will at no distant date abandon a lucra tive practice to fullflll the duties of the United States District Judgeship for the district of Oregon. His voice faltered as he modestly disclaimed any credit for himself in bis record at the bar. Long and enthusiastic applause of the assem blage greeted his introduction and con tinued Intermittently throughout his re marks. He disclaimed that it was a sac rifice to give up his practice to accept the appointment and declared: "I don't think money amounts to much, and the whole use of money is to enable one to have time to devote to some con genial occupation." Then he took the business men of Portland into his confi dence and told of his faith that this will become the great port of the Pacific through which will flow the volume of transcontinental and Asiatic traffic of the continent, and of his purpose to de vote some of the leisure he hopes to have in the new position to aiding in bringing that about. He declared that the life Into which he is about to enter is absolutely new to him and may not prove congenial, but that if success does not follow It will not be because he does not try. Judge Fcnton Speaks. "Judge William D. Fenton, responding to the toast, "The Judiciary. Ita Responsi bilities, Opportunities and Rewards." paid a glowing tritfute to the Jurists whose names have been written on the highest scroll of fame as American Chief Justices. Eloquently be presented the theme from the viewpoint of the barrister in a man ner entertaining, and that found a re sponsive chord In the hearts of his hear ers. In conclusion, he paid homage to the honored guest, saying: "The labors of his office will be exacting. Its respon sibilities will be felt at every fireside, and as he goes about his work which undtr the laws and the Constitution he la re quired to perform, he will exemplify that saying of Longfellow's: The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do, well, without a thought of fame.' And if fame shall come to him in the future, it will be because each day the Judgments of his court have been pro nounced without fear or favor, and that its decrees have protected alike the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor, and that such shall be his Judicial record none who know the man will doubt or deny." Beauty of the general arrangement of the great dining-room of the American Inn. at which the tables were arranged to lay eight covers at each commanded admiration for the skill of the manage ment of the house, while excellence of the nine-course dinner and manner in which it was served left no doubt as to ability of the hotel to handle large crowds.

CANTON PAPERS EXCITED Accounts In the Vernacular Eagerly Bead In This Country, but Celestials- Hope for Fair Treat xnent From Roosevelt. That President Roosevelt's orders for admission of Chinese into the United States merchants, students, teachers and travelers will go far to cure the present difficulty is the general opinion among persons acquainted with the operation of the exclusion laws. The President has caused diplomatic and Consular repre sentatives of the United States In China to be Instructed to vise only the certifi cates of such Chinese about to come to this country as are qualified to enter. This will transfer the examination of Chinese visitors from the Immigration In spectors In America to the diplomatic and the Consular representatives of the United States In China; consequently. Chinese will know before they leave their native country whether they will be admitted. "When they shall arrive they will be al lowed prompt admission, if the certificates shall be true. This solution of the trouble long has been urged by immigration inspectors and by persons familiar with the exclusion law. But, owing to the fact that the In dorsement of the certificates was per formed by a set of United States officials under the Department of State, and their acceptance devolved upon another set un der the Department of Commerce and La bor, the duty thus divided was done very unsatisfactorily. es"peclally since the American Consuls In China oftentimes performed their part perfunctorily, and in dorsed certificates which were faulty or fraudulent, and which were therefore re jected by the inspectors in America. Under the present law, only two classes of Chinese are entitled to enter the United States first, those registered in America and returning to this country; second, those exempt from the exclusion laws such as merchants, teachers, stu dents and travelers. Coolies and laborers are prohibited from entering unless they are returning to the United States. The exempt class must secure from Chinese officials In China, before they leave that country, certificates evidencing their qualification to come Into the United States, and such certificates must be in dorsed by some member of the American diplomatic or consular service. If Ameri can Consuls had been careful in making these indorsements the present trouble would have been obviated, since Chinese would not have bean detained and humili ated and deported on the American side of the Pacific, but if unqualified to enter wouldn't have come. Immigration Inspectors in the United States have been- instructed to accept the vised certificates and in no case to reject them "unless good reason can be shown for doing so." "The purpose of this Government," says the order of the President to the State Department, "Is to make these vised certificate-, of such real value that It Is safe to accept them here in the United States. This will result in doing away with most of the causes of com plaint that have arisen. The Chinese student, merchant or traveler will thereby secure, before leaving China, a certificate which will guarantee him against any improper treatment." Pursuant to this order of the President. Secretary Metcalf. of the Department of Commerce and Labor, has Instructed officers of the Immigration Bureau that "any harshness In the administration of the Chinese exclusion law will not for one moment be tolerated, and any dis courtesy shown Chinese persons, either laborers, or of the exempt classes, by any of the officials of this department, will be cause for immediate dismissal of the offender from the service." This change will simplify the working of the exclusion law. but only if diplo matic and consular representatives of tho United States in China shall do then duty carefully and see to it that they do not vise false certificates. hcREST FIRES ON COAST British Columbia and Southeastern Alaska Afflicted. SEATTLE. June 27. Fire Is ragtag on Prince of Wales Island, and many of the residents of the small settlements have fled to the shores of Southeastern Alaska, from which the Island is sep arated by Clarence Straits, for safety.
