mon laborers.
Wllili NOT ACT. AS PAYMASTER
Government's Functions in New
Dominican Treaty Avert Criticism.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 20. A new treaty
with Santo Domingo probably will be
negotiated. The contentious feature of
the treat yprevlously negotiated, which
failed of ratification by the United States
Senate, very likely will be eliminated. By
the terms of the proposed convention
the United States will not act as the
fiscal agent of Santo Domingo in full
capacity, that Is, it will not act as pay
master of Santo Domingo in the liquida
tion of the country's debts.
Under the proposed convention the
United States will continue to collect
the customs revenues of the island repub
lic and out of these revenues create a
sinking fund for the liquidation of the
foreign debts of Santo Domingo. Santo
Domingo will obligate herself to this
country to use a specified proportion of
the customs receipts for the payment of
Its debts, but the United States will not
act as paymaster.
It is believed at the State Department
that the elimination of one or two of
the features in the former treaty to
which the Senate objected will result
in the ratification of the proposed con-
vention when it is submitted to the Sen-
ate.

Auker said he was going; to Portland.
When asked where he got on Van
Auker replied that he had some busi
ness with a man who lived near the
switch, and had to see him before
boarding the train. The three sat in
the smoker, chatting and smoking.
, Only a few minutes from Portland
Van Auker said he must go to see his
wife. Since then he has not been seen..
Both his wife and his father-in-law
alighted from the train on Its arrival
at the Union Depot, but Van Auker
"himself was missing.
' No Trace of Fugitive, v.
Up to an early hour no trace of Van
Auker had been found in this city. Police
Captain Bruin stated that he had been
: advised to look out for him. but added
that he had not been telegraphed a war
rant and would not make an arrest until
he received some authority. A dispatch
from an Oregonlan staff correspondent at
Rainier says that the suspected cashier
was not arrested yesterday because of
'the unwillingness of President Lewis, of
the looted bank, to sign a complaint. The
dispatch states, however, that the Surety
Company has wired asking that an i
rest be made at once and that the war
rant will be signed this morning by
President Lewis or by'Detective Allen.
Editor Kemp, who came to the city on
the same train with Van Auker last night
admits that he had a stormy interview
with the latter at Rainier last evening
when he met Van Auker for the first time
after the news of Van Auker's virtual
arrest by the detectives was published.
While Kemp was waiting at the
Rainier depot Van Auker, who strongly
resented Kemp's role in the investiga
tion, came up to the editor and grabbed
him by the coat, and shaking a
clenched fist In his face, cried out:
"You are the man I am looking for. I
shall get you yet.?
As Kemp had heard on his arrival
that Van Auker had made several
threats against him during the day
and had called at the Register's office
three times during the day, he was
prepared for Van Auker's attack, and
assumed a position of defense. He ar
gued with Van Auker for a short time
on the depot platform, and both men
parted In good humor.

CHAIRMAN HITT IS DEAD
Head of House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee and Veteran Congressman.
NARRAGANSETT PIER'. R. I., Sept.
20. Congressman Robert R. Hitt, of
Illinois, died at his Summer home here

long period of increasing physical
weakness, due to old age, was the
cause. Mrs. Hitt and her two sons, W.
C- Hitt and R. H. Hitt, were at the
bedside of the Congressman when he
died.
Congressman Hitt came here last
June, and since that time he nad been
very ill, requiring most of the time
the constant attendance of nurses and
physicians. His age was 72 years.
Mr. Hitt was one of the most popu
lar men in Congress, his friendship in
cluding men of all parties, and because
of his wide experience and ability he
was always listened to with the great
est of attention when he dealt with
matters pertaining to the foreign serv
ice. Robert Roberts Hitt was born at
Urbana, O., January 16, 1834. and with
his parents moved to Ogle County, Illi
nois, In 1837. He was educated at Rock
River Seminary and De Pauw Univer

been a member of the House of Rep
resentatives from 1881 to the date of
his death and became chairman of the

Federation Thinks Political Cam
paign Stirred Up Roosevelt.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. After de
voting considerable time to a discus
sion of the President's order directing
an extension of the operation of the
eight-hour law, the executive council
of the American Federation of Labor
finally adjourned today. No details of
the discussion were given to the public,
but it is understood that there was a
general exchange of felicitations over
it. The fact that the extension had been
requested three years ago was pointed
out, as was also that it had not been
granted until the labor element had
shown its power in politics.
NO ROOM FOR THE METEOR
Captain of Meteor Insists He Was
Driven From Portsmouth.
- BERLIN. Sept. 20. The Hamburg
American line has Issued a statement
regarding the Meteor Incident The com
pany affirms that when the Meteor with
tourists on board entered Portsmouth
Harbor she was obliged to leave by the
English authorities in spite of the severe
weather. The company has not protested
to the Foreign Office.
The captain of the Meteor reports to
the Hamburg-American line that, when
he entered Portsmouth Harbor an Ad
miralty tug came at once alongside and
the pilot shouted twice
: "His Majesty's harbormaster notifies
the Meteor that there is no room in the

the heart of the ruler of the grandest Nation
In the world. I do not. fear and I expect gen
erous dealings. I believe Independence la safe
and that we shall emerge from this situation
better able to sustain the stability of our
reDublle.
There may have been fr&uda In our elec
tions, as there have been elsewhere, but as
a whole there Is no reason to aunul thm.
Given all opportunities and the best electoral
boards the Liberals never conld have suc
ceeded In electing- their candidate. Jose Miguel
Gomez. The fact that the Liberals accepted
the results of the election, participated in the
work of Congress and accepted offices for a
year detracts from the force of the revolu
tionists' arguments and their claims of fraud.
I toid Mr. Tart that an Immense maiorlty,
Includins all the Intelligence and wealth and
some of the Liberals, were against the revo
lution, for the obvious reaeon that no rood,
practical Cuban favors revolution, because It
means less independence. We cannot accept
the Liberals' conditions, because new elec
tions after a revolution would mean, a vic
tory for lawbreakers and encourage others
to follow their example. We want peace, hot
more bloodshed and destruction.
We want, above all. to preserve our be
loved independence and are unwilling to live,
like some convulsed republic, where there is
no prosperity and progress, constantly ham
pered by revolution.
In accordance with the- suggestions of
Liberal leaders to Secretary Taft, the
government has granted passes to General
Asbert, one of the insurgent leaders in
Havana province, and General Machaio
and Orestes Ferrari, Insurgent leaders
of Santa Clara Province, to come to Ha
vana to testify before the American me
diators. The attorney of Editor Munos has
cited the order of General Leonard Wood,
when Governor-General of Cuba, during
the period of American Intervention, pro.
hibiting the placing of anybody 4n com
municado, which, the attorney claims,
supercedes the Spanish law under which
martial law was decreed.
GATHERING VP AMMUNITION
Arsenals Prepare Supplies and
Plans for Movement Go Ahead.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 20. Preparation
is the watchword of the army regarding
Cuba. Not only have complete plans been
prepared, but every Department has made
arrangements to meet the emergency of
intervention If it should occur. General
Crozier. Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance
is now at the Rock Island arsenal in Illi
nois and a few' days ago he visited the
Frankfort arsenal at Philadelphia.
As a result, considerable activity has
been displayed in getting ammunition for
small arms and light field guns ready for
movement in case orders for such action
are issued. The Ordnance Bureau has on
hand a supply to equip a small army, but
not enough for a large army and It is
supposed that General Crozier's visit is
with a view to supplying the deficiency.
It Is stated in other bureaus of the
Department that the plans for a possible
movement have been progressing for
some time and that any necessity can be
promptly met
The Navy Department has received
more requests from parties having plan
tations in Cuba, asking that forces be
sent for the protection of .different places.
The Department, with the force under
way, is unable to comply with the re
quest. Information of the Navy Depart
ment at Clenfuegos is that Commander
Fullam has landed all the available forces
and utilized them to the best advantage
for protecting the threatened Interests In
the vicinity of Cienfuegos. It is under
stood that the Dixie, after landing the
bluejackets and marines at Cienfuegos,
has returned to Santo Domingo. It is ex
pected the Dixie will be replaced by the
Cleveland.
The Navy Department today received
from St. Augustine, Fla., a wireless mes
sage from the cruiser Cleveland saying
that she passed that point at sea this
mornnig on her way to Havana. Nothing
has been heard from the cruiser Tacoma,
but it is thought the Tacoma is sailing
with the Cleveland.
REBEL CONFERENCE CALLED
Generals to Meet In Havana Taft
Wins Menocal's Praise.
HAVANA, Sept. 20. The leaders of the
revolutionary movement have called all
the Generals i the field to a conference
in Havana. They are safe from molesta
tion during the truce. General Menocal,
the head of the veterans, said to the As
sociated Press that he believed Secretary
Taft was bound to find a solution of the
difficulty. He was delighted with the Sec
retary's forceful tact in securing all basic
facts bearing on the matter.
FtJNSTON REACHES CAPITAL
Will Leave Saturday to Join Taft in
Havana.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 20. Gen
eral Frederick Funston. In obedience to
orders from Secretary Taft, arrived here
today on his way to Cuba. No addi
tional orders have been Issued regarding
General Funston since the first one call
ing him here and he will proceed to Cuba
with as much expedition as possible. It
was found that he could not leave Tampa
until Sunday night and so he has delayed
his departure from this city until Satur
day. General Funston says that, further than
his orders from the Secretary, he knows
nothing of the duty for which he is
destined. Naturally the visit of General
Funston revives the discussion about his
probable command in Cuba in case the
United States intervenes and sends an
army to the island, but the General had
nothing to say on that matter.
DON'T BOTHER PINE ISLANDERS
Palma's Order Issued When They
Reject Insurgent Overtures.
HAVANA. Sept. 20. In view of com,
plaints from American residents of the
Isle of Pines, the government has pro
hibited further search of American homes
there or other molestation.
It has developed that the Americans on
the Isle of Pines were approached by the
insurgents and asked to co-operate to
the extent of not resisting a landing by
the Insurgents and their use of the island
as a base of supply. This the Americans
refused and they declared It is especially
unjust to disarm them and Invade their
homes In a high-handed manner.
Consul-General Steinhart has presented
the matter to the government with the
result that no further interference with
the Isle of Pines Americans will be per
mitted. REDUCES THE RATES.
New Schedule of Distance Tariffs in
Northwest.
Announcement was made yesterday
through the freight department of the
O. R. & K. in Portland that a 'uniform
distance tariff is to 'be put into effect
on all railroad lines, except the Southern
Pacific, throughout Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Montana. The change is to be
made in Washington in conforming to a
decree which ia soon to be issued by
the Washington Railroad Commission,
and the companies are carrying the
change voluntarily into the other states
In order to . make the rates harmonize
and to meet the demand for a reduction.
The new distance tariff will apply be
tween ail points where there Is not at
present a special commodity rate lower
thaji the proposed schedule. In many
cases it will lower rates between interior
towns as much as 20 per cent, but will
not greatly affect the distributing rates
out of Portland. Between many points
there is already a commodity rate less
than the maximum under the new align
ment, and in such cases there will be no
change.
It is expected that the order of the
Washington Railway Commission will be
issued within a few Jays and it is prob
able that the new rate3 will go Into
effect Immediately thereafter. The com
panies have everything arranged so that
nothing will be left to do except issue
the printed tables of rates when the
commission gives its rulings.
The rates will not apply upon the
Southern Pacific at present, but may be
changed to do so later. The Southern
Pacific tariffs correspond very closely in
many cases with the new ones which are
to be put into effect.

HONGKONG, Sept. 20. The full extent
of the catastrophe in the recent typhoon
is not fully known yet, but conservative
estimates place the number of Chinese
who lost their lives at 5000 and the total
of the material damage to the colony at
J30,000,000.
Reports of disasters at sea are being
constantly received here.

er steamer Fatshan. whose Chinese crew
clambered on board the French mall
steamer Pollnesian when the Fatshan
collided with her, saved his vessel and 150
Chinese passengers by splendid seaman
ship. Fortunately the engine-room staff
stuck heroically to their posts. Captain
Thomas was left almost single-handed on

Macao, which stranded oft Lantao Island.
All the European passengers, including
three women, were saved. Many tf the
Chinese, including women, were drowned,
but the total number of deaths Is not
known. The position of the Heung Shan
is hopeless.
Sir Matthew Nathan, Governor
of Hongkong, speaking to the Leg
islative Council today, said he intend
ed to appoint a commission to Inquire
into the charges made against the
observatory to the effect that it had
failed to give warning of the coming
of the typhoon. He said he was confi
dent that the director of the observa
tory could not be blamed. Inquiries
into individual acts of heroism, with
the view of according recognition, also
will be started. The Governor has ac
cepted the offer of the American squad
ron to co-operate in rescue work.

TALKS THAW INTO LINE
Pittshurg Detective Reasons With
Obstinate Manslayer In Jail.
NEW YORK. Sept. 20. Harry K.
Thaw was visited today by Roger
O'Mara, the Pittsburg: detective, who
has been retained in connection with
the defense. It is reported that O'Mara
had been sent for to confer with Thaw
regarding alleged differences' between
Thaw and Clifford W. Hartridge, his
counsel, relative to the line of defense
to be adopted at the trial. O'Mara ia
generally credited with having consid

of his long acquaintance with the Thaw
family.
After O'Mara left the prison Mr.

had been a disagreement between Thaw
and himself.
"Not so far as I know," he replied.
Mr. Hartridge also stated that re
ports published that Thaw refused to
be examined by alienists yesterday
were far from the truth. He said that
two of the doctors had visited Thaw
before in the Tombs. Thaw told one of
the keepers at the Tombs today that
the reason he did not see the doctors
yesterday was because he had an ap
pointment with Rev. Father William
