doubts which once, were heard whether
the Cuban Republic would last more than
a few months, and expressed the satis
faction of the American people at the
success of the government and the pros
perity of the Cubans. Secretary Root also
discussed the coming Pan-American con
ference at Rio Janeiro and his prospective

hoped that it would result In a better
understanding by them of the United
States and by the Cnlted States of them.

all the Latin-American countries and to
help them in their progress.

UNION OF THE BAPTISTS
Original Canse of Separation Said to
Have Disappeared.
PATTON. O.. May 30. Definite steps to
bring about union of the Baptists and
Free Baptists were taken by the Amer
ican Baptist Home Mission Society, in
session here today. The committee ap
pointed last year to consider a. plan for
co-operation and possible union reported
that, after conferences, a Joint committee
of Baptists and Free Baptists unanimous
ly agreed that, since the two denomina
tions are closely related and the original
cause of separation has disappeared, the
committee should recommend a free In
terchange of members and ministers and
the extension of a cordial Invitation to
the Free Baptists to co-operate In evan
gelistic, educational, missionary and all
other denominational work, in the hope
that a complete organic union of these
bodies might be consummated in due
time.
Tills recommendation was unanimously
adopted by the Home Mission Society,
which declared Its readiness to co-operate
In its work with the Free Baptists, wher
ever it can legally be done.
The Home Mission Society, in view of
the yote to raise J175.000 to help rebuild
the wrecked and burned churches In Cali
fornia, will begin a vigorous campaign
throughout the North and Northwest.
The reports show the greatest year in Its
history, with receipts of over JS0O.00O, and
1542 missionaries employed.' Two mission
aries from Cuba and Porto Rico report
good progress in the Islands within the
past five years, over 50 churches having
been established, with more than 3000
members.
Nine great evangelistic meetings were
held tonight in different parts of the
city.
TO INTEREST THE
PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY AVIIili
DISCUSS NEW BROTHERH06D.
Sentiment Strong in Favor of Brlng
Ing Men More Actively Into
the Church Work.
DES MOINES, Iowa, May 20. Th. pul
pit of every evangelical church in Des
Moines was occupied today by some one
of the hundreds of Presbyterian clergy
men who are in the city in attendance
upon the sessions of the 118th Presbyte
rian General Assembly,, and nearly 100
sermons were preaohed by Presbyterian
ministers at the morning and evening
services. Chief interest centered in the
sermons of the moderator. Rev. Dr. Hunt
er Oorbett, at the auditorium: Dr. Henry
Kanderko, of Princeton, and Rev. Dr. A.
S. Jackson, of Washington. All were
greeted by large audiencea. The moder
ator's sermon was devoted to a review
of missionary work In China.
The assembly held no session today,
but a number of popular meetings were
held, notably a mass meeting for work
ingmen this afternoon, addressed by Rev.
Charles Stelzle. another this evening in
the Interests, of Sunday observance, and
a third also this evening in the Interest
of colleges, addressed by Dr. Herrick
Johnson, of Chicago, and Rev. W. H.
Roberts, president of Washington and
Jefferson College
One of the early and most important
matters of business to be considered by
the assembly will be the report on men's
societies. There Is an overwhelming sen
timent in favor of the formation of a
Presbyterian Brotherhood, devoted to the
purpose of bringing men everywhere
more actively Into the church work and
especially the work of 'evangelization.
SEE OKAPI IN ITS HAUNTS
African Expedition Secures Speci
men of Rarest of Animals.
LONDON. May 20. Captain Boyd Alex
ander, of the Alexander Gosling expedi
tion, reports from the Angu district, on
the River Welle, Congo Free State, that
he has secured a specimen of the okapi,
which the expedition saw alive. No white
man ever before has seen a living okapl.
The incident Interests zoologists. x
The okapi was first described by Sir
Harry Johnston, who found a dead one
in the Semllki forest and drew a picture
of the animal. The head is described as
being that of a giraffe, but there are no
external horns. The okapl Is about four
and one-half feet high at the withers.
The tail is rather short and the neck
short jand thick.
Tho coloring of the animal Is its most
extraordinary feature. The cheeks and
Jaws are yellowish white, contrasting
with a dark colored neck. The forehead
and a line down to the muzzle are a deep
red chestnut, and the large broad ears
are of the same tint, fringed with black.
The neck, shoulders and body range in
tone from sepia and jet black to red: the
belly Is blackish and the tall chestnut,
with a small black tuft. The hind quar
ters and legs are either snow white or
pale cream, touched here and there with
orange and marked with purple-black
horizontal stripes and blotches.
FIREBOATS DRIVEN OFF.
Dense Smoke Comes From Burning
of Fertilizer Plant.
NEW YORK. May 20. The plant of the
Banltary Utilization Company, covering
two acres of Barren Island, in Jamaica
bay, was totally destroyed by fire today.
The loss is fl.000.000. The fire started in
the . drying room. Two flreboats were
sent from Brooklyn in response to an ap.
peal for aid. Many tugs also came to
the rescue, but so dense was the smoke
that it was impossible for the boats to
approach near enough to do effective
work.
In the storeroom of the plsnt were 2300
tons of fertilizer awaiting shipment, all
of which was destroyed.
FINDS TYPHUS BACILLUS
Mexican Doctor Is Now Searching for
an Antidote.
MEXICO C1TT, May 20. Dr. Priesto
has submitted a treatise on typhus
bacillus to the Academy of Medicine.
Dr. Priesto says he found the long
sought and elusive bacillus of typhus
fever, which abounds in cephalus liquid
more than in the blood of typhus pa
tients. His experiments with germs
and the lower animals are of great in
terest. Dr. Priesto Is now searching for an
antidote or preventive of the disease.
The discovery of the bacillus is consid
ered most important.
Yackard Is to Leave Jail.
SAN DIEGO. May 23. A telegram

CLOSING-OUT
An Advertising Humbug, or What?
Do you believe this is simply an advertising
humbug, or do you think we are really retir
ing from the retail business? . .
The reputation of the store best answers
the question: Present prices answer, the
question. A personal visit to the store and in
vestigation of the reductions will answer the
question. The immense number of fine
Pianos and Pianolas, etc., being sold each day
answers. the question. You can save at least
from one-fourth to one-third the retail price
if you buy a fine instrument now, and then
you may take virtually your own time to pay
for it. We are positively retiring from the
retail business.

Fully 2000 Persons Homeless
From Michigan Forest Fires.
QUINNESEC WIPED OUT
Refugees Are Not Disheartened, But
Say They Will Begin Life
Anew on Land Cleared
by the Flames.
MILWAUKEE May 20. A staff corre
spondent of the Sentinel, who made a
tour of the district in the upper penin
sula of Michigan, covered by the forest
(ires, in a special train, the first train
to go through the district since the ca
tastrophe, telegraphs that the fire appears
to be practically out in all of the dis
trict. The fire raged for a distance of
64 miles along the line of the Escanaba
& Lake Superior Railroad, and for 30
miles beyond Channlng, - the western
terminus of the road.
It seems certain now that 2000 persons
are homeless in that district, and that
1000 are left desolate at Quinnesec. The
Qulnnesec fire, however, was of a dif
ferent origin from the Escanaba Are, hav
ing started in a field where men were
pulling stumps and burning debris. This
fire spread into the city, wiped out all
the buildings except three residences, and
the paper mills. Then the fire spread
into the timber and running north for 40
miles finally . Joined the flames sweeping
east of Escanaba.
It was also learned today that Wood
lawn and Klngsley. on the Escanaba &
Lake Superior Railroad, and Perkins, on
the Northwestern road, were destroyea
The strip burned along the Escanaba As
Lake Superior line appears to be 30 miles
wld, and the alarming nature o the
earlier reports of the Are seem to be
thoroughly verified.
Stories of heroic battles against the
flames are numerous. Dozens of towns
were saved only by the most desperate
battle -with the flames. Northland, a
town of 1000 inhabitants, was three times
threatened. The fire was checked each
time at a distance of only ten yards
from the houses on the outskirts.
One man, who carried the coffin with
the corpse of his dead babe 30 miles to
Escanaba in his escape from the Are,
went back on the special train and found
his home gone, but the picket fence sur
rounding the house untouched. The
ashes of his home had been blown away
by the gale and the fence was the only
evidence of human habitation. The rest
of the town had been swept away
A remarkable feature of the Are is the
fact that nearly all the refugees are not
disheartened, but are determined to re
turn and begin over. They have only
the clothes they wear, but say this Is
the fortune of the frontiersman, and that
if their homes are lost, at least the fire
has cleared the land for them, and this
much labor is saved.
Shirt of Wind Saves Town.
MENOMINEE. Mich.. May 20. The
town of Soperton. Mich'., owned by the
Bay Shore Lumber Company, suffered a
heavy loss from the forest fires. For a
time Soperton and Wabeno people were
cut off. All that saved the towns and
people from complete annihilation was a
shifting of the wind.
PLOT BY THE MILITARY MEN
Trepoff to Be Declared Dictator II
Czar Falls to Abolish Parliament.
LONDON, May 21. The Tribune's St.
Petersburg correspondent says he has
obtained information of a plot that
has been elaborated at large meetings
of military officers to surround the
Tauride Palace, arrest all the members
of the Parliament, and proclaim Gen
eral Trepoff military dictator in the
event of Nicholas failing to abolish the
Parliament.
MODERATELY EXPRESS HOPE
Constitutional Democrats Deny They
Wish Places In the Ministry.
PARIS. May 20. The Temps this
morning prints a declaration, purport
ing to emanate from the Constitutional
Democratic party of the Parliament,
protesting against the published state
ment that the party wishes to obtain
for Its members portfolios in the Min
istry. The address of the lower house in re
ply to the speech from the throne and
Ivan Petrunkevltch's speech, the dec
laration says, "voiced in moderate form
the party's hope and aspiration. Some
of the accumulated grievances of the
people are passed over; only Cue ques
SALE
tions of amnesty, agrarism and indi
vidual liberties and equality have been
taken up. To accuse us of betrayal of
the people's mandate will cause an ex
plosion of feeling, possibly entailing
failure of the pacificatory mission of
Parliament." The declaration adds:
"Reactionaries accuse of of lack ot
moderation, while Socialists threaten
to stir up the people on account of our
moderation, and because our decision
voluntarily to give the land to the
people removes the reason for the ex
istence of those who propose expropri
ation by violence.'1
ASSAULT MADE AT RAINIER
Continued From Page 1.)
structlons to that effect from Acting Chief
of Police Gritzmaeher. It Is possible,
however, that Hartman will go there to
night. Dr. Clarence True Wilson, president of
the State Anti-Saloon League, In whose
interests Williams was working, had this
to say: "Such tactics as these by the sa
loon men are only making votes for us.
If the liquor dealers assault enough peo
ple we shall carry our local option fights
throughout the entire state. I am firmly
convinced that local option will triumph
at Rainier.
"We shall lend Mr. Williams all the
legal aid in our power. We retain an at
torney in this city, and tomorrow we
shall consult with him with the idea of
commencing legal steps at once to pro
tect our workers. If money Is needed we
can command an unlimited amount at
any time, since the best people of the
state are back of us.
"I believe the actions of the saloonmen
at Rainier are Incited by the same author
ities as was the brutal attack on Mr.
Rader at Salem last January. I believe
the inspiration for all these personal at
tacks comes from some central organiza
tion here In Portland. My suspicions are
confirmed by the fact that a prominent
Portland saloonman loudly cries 'fake'
whenever any such misdeeds are reported
of the saloon interests."
J. Whitcomb Brougher. pastor of the
First Baptist Church, who has been act
ively associated with the Anti-Saloon
League, when told last night of the latest
development at Rainier and of Dr. Wil
son charges, had this to say:
"Not being fully acquainted with the
present situation, I am reluctant to
charge the Portland Liquor Dealers' Asso
ciation with abetting the saloon men of
Rainier. It does seem signiAcant. though,
that the Portland saloon men are so
ready to fly to the defense of these out
side liquor interests whenever they get
into trouble, and even more peculiar that
they should hasten to raise the cry of
'fake' whenever chsrges of this klndi are
brought against outside saloon interests
which normally should not Interest them
so tremendously.
"I will say this emphatically that such
a policy of violence by the saloon men
will only react on their own cause. The
decent people of the state will not trust
the powers of legislation In the hands of
such men who are ready and willing to
commit crime to secure their end."
Paul Wesslnger, president of the Whole
sale Liquor Dealers' Association, is out
of town, but A. Crofton, secretary, said
for that body, in reply to the charges of
Dr. Wilson:
"I do not see what earthly connection
there is between the wholesale liquor
business in Portland and the contempti
ble attacks of jackanapes saloon men in
Rainier upon anybody."
Mr. Crofton was very indignant that
wholesale men in this city of recognized
integrity and standing should be accused
of connection with such affairs In small
outside towns.
Refined Torture.
Harper's Weekly.
The wife of a well-known official in
Washington, D. C. holds novel ideas
with refernce to the punishment of re
fractory children. Physical chastise
ment is most repugnant to this lady's
mind, but. she has evolved a unique
system that has proved most success
ful. On one occasion a friend was visit
ing her when one of the boys had sur
reptitiously appropriated an orange
belonging to his younger brother. The
misdemeanor was discovered before
the culprit had disposed of his spoil:
so the two youngsters were summoned
to the Judgment seat.
"James," was the stern command of
the mother, "take this seat; and you,
Thomas, that one. Now, Thomas, give
James the orange you have stolen
from him."
When the lads had done as they were
ordered, tho mother added:
"James. I want you to take as long
as possible to eat that orange. You.
Thomas, are to sit there and watch
him eat it. Under no circumstances
are you to leave the room."
Quakeresses Never Take Cold.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
"A Quakeress," said a physician, "never
catches cold. Her Immunity is due to her
bonnet. If I had my way all of us, women
end men alike, would wear Quaker bon
nets. "This bonnet protects the back of the
head and the nape of the neck, two very
tender spots. The nape especially Is ten
der. Let a good draught strike you there
for Just a second and I'll guarantee you
a week's cold.
"The Quakeress' bonnet may not be
beautiful, but, protecting her nape as it
does, it keeps her free from colds year In
and year out."

TRACK JtliiD FIELD EVENTS
IVTERSCHOIiASTIC SPORTS TAKE
A REVIVAL.
Formerly Schools Here Great Fac
tor In These Gaines, but Lately
They Have Not Been.
By F. H. Dammasch, M. D.
The field meet to be held next Saturday
afternoon will mark a new era In the
field of Interscholastle sports. This meet,
which will be held on Multnomah field,
will be an example of the revival of
track athletics directly attributable to
the very successful meets held last Sum
mer during our memorable Exposition.
For the past eight years track and
field athletics among city schools and
academies have, to all appearances, been
dead. That they were not dead, only
dormant, is clearly shown by the en
thusiastic revival of the .sport.
Prior to 1898 the schools were a factor
In track and field sports. They actually
produced champions who. after gradua
tion, became members of the Multnomah
Club. The result was that Multnomah
became supreme and that. too. without
the "importation of talent." This verv
importation of talent is what has held
school sports in check. Let thet club
foster and encourage the school athletes,
and very soon, indeed, will the club be
indisputably supreme, and by honest and
clean methods at that.
In three years. 1885-1898. the High
School was always a victor In every line
of sport. In fact, their victories had be
come as monotonous as are those of the
Portland Academy during the more recent
years. The school became over confident
and failed to put forth its best efforts,
with the inevitable result that defeat
was their lot.
Not until this year have the boys
seemed to recover, as is shown by their
desire to do track work. Their enthusi
asm speaks well for the school and is an
omen pointing toward a hard struggle
for the interscholastic championship.
By virtue of its being the first meet of
its kind, and that most of the athletes
are for the first time performing, it Is
exceedingly difficult to forecast the win
ner of the meet. That It will be a close
and hard struggle can safely be predict
ed, because of the keen but healthy riv
alry that exists. That each race and
field event will be a close and interesting
contest is assured, because each event
will bring together the most promising
men in the city schools.
There is a rule In force among the
schools of the league to which attention
should be called because of its virtue.
That rule will do wonders in keeping the
sport wholesome and clean, by limiting
It to scholars. It Is the rule requiring of
each track and field candidate a certain
high grade in his scholastic work, and
should be strictly enforced. It will do
away with "importing" boys solely for
their ability to win points for a school
and will insure an intelligence among the
competitors, which will make its in
fluence manifest during the competition.
The events include the dashes of 100,
220 and 440 yards, and the H4-mlle run.
Two hurdle races are also to be run. The
field events are the high and broad jump,
pole vault. 12-pound shot and the classic
discus event. The last event on the pro
gramme promises to furnish a great com
petition. It is the Interscholastic relay
race. The relay Is always an exciting
affair, which wa to be expected at this
meet, because the teams of the Academy
and High School are very evenly matched.
This was shown at the recent Columbia
meet, when the two schools first meas
ured each other's strength in this event.
It was in doubt until the last and finally
resulted in a High School victory by
scant Inches. With practically the same
men entered from both institutions, it
is safe to say that It will be the most in
teresting event on the entire programme.
A large, enthusiastic attendance is al
ready assured, and. because of the se
lection of a competent set of officials the
meet gives every Indication of being a
very great success.
PHYSICAL DEGENERACY.
Call lor Common Sense Knowledge
In Health and Disease.
Exchange.
Some of the newspapers of Europe, es
pecially England and France, are becom
ing greatly alarmed over the subject of
national degeneration. This alarm is to
a great extent selfish, as it is mainly on
account of the fact that the recruiting
or conscription of the armies Is threat
ened. Some startling facts have been
brought out by investigation in Great
Britain. It Is reported, for instance, that
203 soldiers in the British home army go
sick out of every thousand, while In the
French conscript army only 43 become in
valids. Is this surprising, when we look
at the way the poor of London and other
big cities are compelled to live? Read
this, from the London Chronicle:
In London 400,000 people live in single
rooms; 40,000 live five In a room, and 8000
seven In a room. Overcrowding Is the
rule: fresh milk and good food the ex
ception. Babies fed on cold cabbage and

"A ward sister of .one of our great
hospitals was recently traveling in a
third-class carriage in London, when she
saw a woman feed a child of 1V4 years
with a piece of saveloy and some white
bread! The sister told the woman that
she was destroying the child's digestion,
upon which the following conversation
took place:
" 'And may I ask, have you any chil
dren of your own?"
" "None," said the sister.
' 'Then thank you kindly for your ad
vice, but having burled nine babies of
my own, I ought to know how to treat
'em.' "
Surely this is an awful come-down
since the days of Greek glory, when med
ical science languished, because the
standard of public life was too high to
support a large community of profes
sional healers. Surely, also, there is a
crying demand for men and institutions
that shall disseminate among the people
sound, common-sense Information regard
ing health and disease.
FORMER TACOMA BALL-PLAYER
DISAPPEARS.
It Is Thought That Sudden Lurch
of Boat May Have Thrown
Him Overboard.
A Jersey City dispatch to the Sporting
Life has the following on the disappear
ance of Pitcher Bill Thomas, formerly of
the Tacoma club:
"William Thomas, a pitcher for the
Buffalo club, of the Eastern League, dis
appeared from his stateroom on the New
Haven liner Richard Peck, May 4, while
on the way from Providence to play a
game against Jersey City. Manager
George Stallings, and the other members
of the club are unable to explain his dis
appearance, and they and the steamship
officials searched vainly for him. He
may have fallen overboard.
"Diligent search by the Norwich Steam
boat Company and by Manager George T.
Stallings. of the Buffalo club, has in no
way solved the mystery surrounding the
disappearance of Pitcher Thomas. Man
ager Stallings was in New York all day
today, seeking news of his missing play
er, hoping he had left the boat when a
landing was made at New Haven, but
nothing was learned there, and It is now
almost certain that Thomas, while ill in
the night, had hastily dressed, rushed on
deck and to the guard rail and, losing
his balance by a sudden lurch of the
boat, fell over the rail into the water.
"Thomas, soon after boarding the boat,
complained ot feeling out of sorts and
concluded to go to bed. He made a re
quest upon Joe Galaskl that be be al
lowed to occupy the lower berth, that
in case he became seasick he could get
out without disturbing Galaskl. Before
retiring. Thomas ordered the porter to
call him at 6 o'clock, so that he might
see the sights as the boat approached
New York. It was when the porter went
to call him in the morning that Thomas
was missed and his clothing found
showed he had dressed hastily, putting
only his outer garments on.
"Manager Stallings has taken charge
of Thomas' effects and will send them
to his former home at Fresno, Cal. Last
year Thomas was with Tacoma and did
well. He pitched against Baltimore
since Joining Buffalo and won. He was
popular with the members of the team
and the boys are all broken up by his
disappearance."
