TO REACH SEATTLE TODAY
Government Officials Are Making
Kvery Kffort to Expedite Inspec
tion of Iii Steamer and
Hurry Parly on Its Way.
PORT TOWN'SEN'D. Wash.. Feb. 27.
(Special.) There Is no danger to foreign
ers or missionaries. The present trouble
In China Is of a temporary character.
That Is the consensus of opinion of mem
bers of tho Imperial Chinese Commis
sion, -which arrived on the steamship Da
kota tonight.
The Dakota anchored oil- Port Town
send tonight, and the big reception com
mittees from Seattle, Portland and San
Francisco will not go aboard until to
y morrow, after the quarantine officers
board the boat. The steamship will
reach Seattle at noon tomorrow, and at
night Ti banquet will be tendered.
Though rough weather was encoun
tered, the party had a successful trip
and enthusiastically commented upon
tho attention given them by the Hill
lino. When told special cars had been
sent from St. Paul for the Great North
ern trip ISast, they were favorably im
pressed. Tonight Wabash and Great Northern
officials believe they have tho San Fran
cisco programme beaten. The commis
sion will be in America for two or three
weeks before sailing for Europe. A two
days' stop is all the commission plans on
the Coast.
Party Will Divide.
The party divides: the three Commis
sioners and live interpreters going to
Washington. Tho rest of the party goes
direct to New Tork and will await the
Commissioners. From this country the
Commission goes to England, France and
Belgium. Tho American Commission,
which landed a month ago, Is to proceed
to Germany. Austria and Russia later.
The entire party expects to be back In
China four months later, returning either
by way of America or the Suez Canal.
Upon the result of tho two Commissions'
labors depends the writing of a constitu
tion for China. Ultimately the legisla
tive reform will be sweeping enough to
permit of the election of legislators by the
people; the divorcing of legislative and
judicial departments and the strengthen
ing of the local governments.
It will require two years' time the Com
rhisslon estimates to prepare the new
code for China and summon the first
parliament. This may be either ap
pointive or elective, depending upon
future developments. Members of the
Commission hojo that within four years
China may establish such confidence in
her judiciary that the foreign govern
ments will abolish, their Consular Courts.
It is a matter of jealous concern with
the Commission that Japan has secured
the abolition of Consular Courts while
China has not.
Attaches Easy to Interview.
The three members of the commis
sion, j .11 aged statesmen, do not speak
EngIIshand are not easily approached.
But .the leading attaches .oo-operated
louigb In securing interviews. Prince
Tsai Ts&f who Leads the commission,
is a member of the imperial family.
His Excellency Shang Chi Hong was
Acting Governor of Shan Tung Prov
ince. His Excellency Sheng Te has
been appointed Minister to Belgium and
will take that assignment after fin
ishing his labors.
Of the attaches. Captain Chen Ngen
Tao is a member of the Chinese navy.
Tso Ping Lung is first secretary, and
Kwa Ching Hschcn, a physician. The
commission will consult with the Chi
nese Minister at Washington and with
the American commission before sailing
for Europe.
The Government's interest in the expedi
tion Is attested in the issuance of ordors
placing the United States revenue cutter
Areata, Captain Henderson, at the dis
posal of th reception committer, many
of whom mode the trip from Seattle hero
aboard that vessel. Although no special
orders have bon received by the customs,
quarantine and immigration officials, as
wore issued on the occasion of the arrival
Lrro of the Japanese peace envoys, the
ocal officers will use all possible haste
in completing their duties, with the result
that the vessel will be subjected only to a
short delay before proceeding to Seattle,
where an elaborate reception has bccn
prepared for the royal tourists. The Da
kota expects to sail at S tomorrow morn
ing. devolution Already Began.
Captain Chen is tho most prominent of
the attaches with the party and the clos
est to tho Chinese government officials
at Pckin, possibly because he speaks
English and the oommisioners themselves
do not. His word is accepted, his prom
ises do not have to be vised to be made
redeemable. That gives Captain Chen's
views on the mission especial significance
He ssald tonight the party may make
another world tour after it writes the
row Chinese constitution, to compare
its results with those of other countries.
The most significant feature is the revo
lution by legislation in Chinese customs.
Already. Captain Chen said, the courts
have -abolished torture of prisoners to
force a confession, and witnesses" are
permitted to testify. At present the
"court of punishment" 'recommends and
approves legislation. The new plan is
to introduce a parliamentary system.
The laws that have been In existence
for more than two centuries will be wiped
ofT the books.
The commissioners tonight received,
fvcrybody through their secretaries, and.
it Is through them that the Great North
ern wins its fight to take the party
-v- directly East over the Hill line. A por
tion of the party has planned a trip to
Los Angelas. This meant a loss of part
of the crowd to the Hill line, which the
steamship officers had vainly protested
against during the voyage. Great North
ern officials protested vigorously when
They came aboard, but did not win anv
thing. Then A. W. Bash, the Port Town
send man who promoted - the Canton
Hankow Railroad, rece.ntly taken over
from the Morgan syndicate, stepped in.
He had letters and telegrams from offi
ials close to the government, and thes
were presented to the commissioners in
jKrson. The programme changed.
With the lavishness customary among
such embassies. Prince Tsai Tse today
rewarded the steamship employes who
have served him during the voyage. His
monetary gifts ran as high as 5o0. Dur
ing the voyage Prince Tsai Tse sat in
the dining saloon at Captain Francuc's
right, two other commissioners below
him. Most of the attaches were at Purs
er Zoller's table.
The American, Japanese. German and
Chinepe flags decorated the' dining-room,
but today the flags were removed and
the Prince's personal flag flew at the
lorcmast wnen me Ualcota arrived at 11
o'clock tonight.
When the welcoming party goes off to
morrow jo, "board the Dakota, the mcm

Democrats Seem to Consider Them
selves Xot Bound by Primary Law.
SALEM, Or.. Feb. t7. (Special.-Thorn-selves
violating the plain provisions of
the direct primary law, Marlon Counts'
Democrats today adopted a resolution
characterizing that measure as a Repub
lican law which Republican candidates
are bound to observe. That the law is
binding upon Democrats was not In any
way expressed or even intimated.
The peculiar wording of the resolution
leaves the inference that the Democrats
do not consider that It affects I hem. The
resolution adopted at the assembly of
Democrats today says upon that subject:
"The direct primary law is a part of.
the law ijassqd by a Republican Legisla
ture, and that party and its candidates
are of necessity legally and morally bound
to carry out its provisions by voting for
the Individual receiving the highest num
ber of votes at the polls for United States
Senator."
The remarkable feature of this portion
of the resolutions is the Inaccuracy of
statement, for the direct primary law was
not passed by a Legislature, cither lie
publican or Democratic It was adopted
by the people under the initiative. After
adopting this, the Democratic assembly
violated the direct primary law by elect
ing W. H. Downing chairman of the
County Central Committee for the next
two years, whereas the law requires that
the members of the committee shall bo
elected at the direct primary'. nJ tho
committee shall choose Its chairman. This
provision was placed In the law in order
to give the people power to overthrow
party machines. .
Upon other subjects the Democrats fa
vored working convlcjs crfi the roads, non
use of the emergency' clause by legisla
tures, separate bills for appropriations,
state ownership of printing plant. Fed
eral ownership of the Oregon City locks
arid a fair distribution of the tax burden.
The resolutions indorse the Chamberlain
administration.
The meeting did not attempt to noml
nato candidates, hut H. R. Crawford, of
Turner: F. S. Lenn, of Silverton; Charles
Dick, of Salem: D. J. Fry. of Salem, and
D. V. Vaughn, of Silverton. were sug
gested as good legislative timber, with
Francis Feller for County Commissioner
and Fred Palmer for County Clerk.
The Democrats gave a banquet this
evening, with about 200 persons present.
August Huckestein presided very accept
ably as toastmaster. The speakers were:

The "virtues of Uquozone arc derived

and other germicidal gases. .
The proccay of making require large

TWENTY STATE IiAND CERTIFI
CATES HELD BY DELA1TTRE.
Minneapolis VDcalec Bought From
Ivclllhcr, and Applications Were
Forged by One Hand.
t SALEM. Or.. Feb. 27. (SpecIaL)-The
Oregon State Land Board today ordered
tho cancellation of about 20 state land
certificates held by John Delalttre. of
Minneapolis, covering about 15.V0 acres of
school land. This was the decision of the
board, as a result of the Investigation and
arguments before tho board Lost Fall,
when handwriting experts testified that
the signatures to the applications were
all written by one man.
In Its decision, made In writing today,
the board tlnds that Delalttre was not a
jwrty to the fraud, but that tho ccrtlfi
CHtod came to his hands tainted with
fraud, and that they ought not to be rec
ognised as valid. The certificates were
obtained upon applications mado by H. 1L
Tumor, of this city, and were bought by
Dehtittre from A. T. Kclliher. a land op
erator now under conviction in this coun
ty for alleged forgery of assignment of
a certificate of sale.
At the hearing before the board. De
lalttre made no effort to show that the
applications were genuine, but stood upon
the ground that, however much fraud
there might have been In the original
transaction, the certificates were genuine,
and had been bought by him in good faith,
and that he was entitled to deeds. These
certificates were not among those forged
by the Pnter-McKInley gang. Jn this
cc. the certificates were genuine, while
the applications were forged. Puter and
McKinley forged certificates, without go
ing through the formality of making ap
plications. .
WILL SUE THE LAND BOARD
WiiconsIn Certificate Buyer Angry
at Action Taken.
LA CROSSE. Wis., Feb. 27.-Charging
that the State of Oregon Is turning down
all land certificates, good as well as
forged. In which S. A. D. Puter played,
any part. F. J. Tokind. whoso 15 certifi
cates, covering 41C0 acres oi land, were
rejected 33 worthless by the Land Board
at Salem, Or., today, says he will bring
suit against the state to force It to prove
that tho certificates wore forged. When
Mr. Toland was shown the dispatch rela
tive to the action of the Land Board he
said:
"I never had any dealings with Hor
ace McKinley. He is not a friend of
mine, nor did I receive the 15 certificates
In question for services as a handwriting
expert at the land fraud trials. The cer
tlftcates were transferred to me In 1901
in La Crosae to secure a loan. They
were given by S. A. D. Puter. with whom
I had had dealings.
"My attorneys have advised me to
awult the tlnal action of the State of
Oregon and If tho certificates are re
jected to bring suit to make the state
prove that the documents are forged.
We havo come to the conclusion that
the state has decided to reject all cer
tificates which passed through Futer's
hands without further Investigation. "We
know that Puter sold some good land
certificates. During the trials ft was
shown that the forged papers all bore a
certain water mark. Not one of the 15
recently sent to the Land Board which I
secured from Puter bore that mark. The
decision of the Land Board Is not final,
and we are awaiting flnal action of the
state before bringing action."
LOADED BUS HIT BY A TRAES'
Four Young Women or Centralis Arc
More or Less Injured.
OENTR.VLlA,.Wash.. Feb. 27.-(5peclal.)
Train No. 5S. freight, coming Into Cen
tralki about 6:C0 P. M.. ran into a 'bus
containing a party of nine young women
at the railroad crossing in the south part
of town. .The women were going to Chc
halits to take part in an amateur lady
minstrel entertainment. The injured are:
MIm Graee Key. hurt In head and back,
foot and ankle.
Mls Fontella Winters. Injured about tho
head.
Miss Kred T. Merritt. dislocated shoulder.
Mrs. A. T. Carr. severely- bruised.
The driver of the 'bus, a man named
Hawk, was an experienced driver. He
acknowledges having wen the train when
he was about 30 feet from the crossing.
H says the engine did not whistle, nor
was the bell ringing.
Byewitnoflpcs of the accident declared
that the train carried a headlight, but
agree with Hawk that there was no
eluding mnny of the moat difficult diseases
of mankind. At first the results seemed
incredible, and the tests were repeated
again and again to confirm them. When
the power of the product was thus proved
beyond question, we purchased the rights
and brought It into -wider ilclde.
Since then we have let every sick one
we learned of test It at our expense.
The result Ik that millions have learned
by experience soma things that Liquo
zone can do. Most of the cured told
others, and the others told others. The
recult Is that about 12.0CO.GCO bottles of
Liquozone liave been used, mostly in the
post two years. There Is now almost no
hamlot no neighborhood without living
examples of Its "power.
Now other chemists and companies. In
alliance with us, are supplying it to other
