Retiring Chinese Minister Is
Grateful for Favors.
PATS UNCLE SAM ON BACK
On Being Informed That the United
States Releases China to Extent
of Over $12,000,000, His Ad
miration Knows No Bounds.
BOSTON. Mass.. June IS. Sir Chen
Liang- Chen, retiring Chinese Am
bassador to the United States, who is
In this city on a visit, today made
the following statement to the Asso
ciated Press:
"I shall make public today the con
tents of an official note which I re
ceived from Secretary Root last Satur
day night, which shows better than
anything else can the remarkably high
sense of Justice which the United
States has used in all her dealings
with China. You remember that after
the boxer troubles China agreed to pay
an indemnity of I24.440.77S.S1 on ac
count of the losses entailed by the
United States Government as well as
for personal property lost by her citi
zens during the Boxer campaign. Four
years ago your government was good
enough to promise me that when the
time arrived, as a token of sincere
friendship for China, the original fig
ures of the indemnity would be re
vised. "True to the promise of the execu
tive officers. I received a note from
Secretary Root last Saturday 'night
saying that the President directed him
to say in his next message that he
would be pleased to recommend that
China be relieved of all obligation in
excess of the final revised amount of
the indemnity, which had been set at
$1 1.655, 492. 69. That, as you can see,
will save China over $12,000,000.
You cannot emphasize too strongly
my groat admiration for the fair spirit
which has always characterized the
dealings of the United States with my
country. This final action is another
monument to America's high sense of
Justice, and I feel called upon to say
not because I am the retiring am
bassador that personally I feel that
America is one of China's strongest
friends."
WIliU FAVOR BIG REDUCTION
President, in Message to Congress,
to Suggest Modification.
WASHINGTON, June 18. The State
Department confirms the statement of
the ex-Chinese Minister regarding
the reduction of the Chinese indemnity.
Tho fact that the Indemnity is being
collected under a treaty makes it im
possible for the Executive to act alone
in this matter. But the President, In
his annual message to Congress, will
suggest that tho payment of more than
the amount actually expended be re
mitted. China was to pay to the United
States a sum slightly less than $25,000,
010 In annual Installments for 39 years
.with interest. ' So far there has been
collected 6.JOO.ooo and out of this has
been paid ali of the claims of American
missionaries for property destroyed
and lives lost In the uprising, amount
ing to about 12,000.000. A careful esti
mate has just been completed of the
expense to which the United States
Government was put by the military
operations in China, the naval ex
pense and the losses suffered at
American consulates. These aggre
gate $9,000,000. so that all of the in
demnity that should really be charged
against China Is $11,000,000 and at the
rate payments have been made recent
ly it Is expected that the total will be
met in four or five years more. The
plan Is to then give China a release in
full.
EARL OF MUNSTER SAYS NO
Denies Report That Mrs. Potter
Palmer Will Marry Him.
LONDON, June 18. The Earl of
Munster, when asked today regarding
the report that he was engaged to Mrs.
Potter Palmer, of Chicago, replied:
"The report is absolutely untrue."
, All the afternoon papers here print
ed dispatches from Chicago, reporting
the engagement, with photographs and
biographies of the parties.
"I do not know the Earl of Munster,
and I am much annoyed by the un
authorized report," said Mrs. Potter
Palmer today.
REVIVAL OP AN OLD KCMOR
Mrs. Potter Palmer Said to Be En-
gaged to Englishman.
CHICAGO, June 18. The Tribune last
night received advices from London,
telling of the engagement of Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer to Aubrey Fitzclarence,
Karl of Munster and Baron Tewkes
bury. The engagement has -not been
announced officially, but the Tribune's
correspondent declared that there was
no doubt an understanding had been
reached and that publication would fol
low in a few days.
METCALF TO VISIT COAST
Will Study Conditions Regarding Na
val Construction In the West.
WASHINGTON. June IS Secretary
Metcalf will leave Washington June 29
for San Francisco, where he intends to
study conditions In shipyards with spe
cial reference to naval construction. Hie
fact that existing labor conditions on the
Pacific Coast and the high price of ma
terial make It Impossible for shipbuild
ers there to compete for Government
contracts with Eastern shipyards has
given serious concern to the naval gen
eral board as affecting the plans for
naval development. While in Congress
Secretary Metcalf strongly resisted the
abolition of the differential of four per
cent formerly allowed In favor of Pacific
Coast shipbuilders, and it is probable
that if his investigations show that the
percentage fairly represents the differ
ence between the East and West a strong
appeal will be made to re-establish the
differential.
TAKE REVENGE IN MURDER
Rich New Yorker Murdered, It Is
Thought, by Discharged Employes.
NEW YORK. June 18.-Julius X. Rosen
helmer, a wealthy needle manufacturer,
was murdered while walking- through his
country estate at Pelham tonight. He
ira struck down by on of two men who
skulked along the path on which Rosen
heimer and his wife had taken for a
stroll. He died a few moments later.
His assailants escaped.
Many Italians are employed upon the
estate. Recently some of these were dis
charged, and it is thought that the mur
derer may have been actuated by ven
geance. .
At the Theaters
What th press Ant Sa.
"FORTUNE TELLER" IS PRETTY
San Francisco Company In Notable
Opera at the Marquam.
The public is realizing more fully than ever
this week that the engagement of the San
Francisco Opera Company is one of the biff
events of the theatrical year. The .reason
that this fact Is so emphasized this week la
the splendid performance that is being given
each night during the week. To begin with.
"The Fortune Teller" is a brilliant piece and
its fine rendition by the present company is
something of rare performance. Aida Hemmi.
Teddy Webb. Joseph Miller and the others
prominent this week are doing excellent work.
rv not miss "The Fortune Teller" at the
Marquam.
Zinn Girls at the Baker.
Tn presenting the Zinn Musical Comedy
Company at the Baker Theater the man
agement has made a ten-strike with the
public. It Is one of the brightest organiza
tions that has ever played at this popular
place of amusement. The conxedlans are
amusing, the soloists are good and the
chorus is for quality, without an equal.
There are few companies on the road carry
ing such a number of really pretty girls, or
girls who are so enthusiastic in their work.
Teezy-Weesy" this week is a treat and will
be given all the week with a matinee on
Saturday. Starting next Sunday afternoon
the Zinns will present "The Telephone Ex
change." "Shall We IVrgive Her?" at Lyric.
One. of the greatest successes of the
present theatrical season is the production
of Marie Wainwrlghfs great bill, "Shall
We Forgive Her?" at the Lyric. It Is a
domestic problem drama of the highest
order and the Allen Company has never ap
peared more acceptably than in this offer
ing. Josephine Xeffrey, the new leading
woman has already made herself a favorite
and could not be improved upon in the lead
ing role. Matinees Thursday, Saturday and
Sunday.
Rollicking Farce at the Star.
Those who have not yet visited the Star
this week and seen "Confusion" have a de
lightful time ahead of them. "Confusion" is
a rollicking, lively and diverting farce which
convulses audiences nightly. It was origin
ally played by Nat Goodwin and although
he need the farce for years It has never
before been seen in this city. The stock
company makes a good appearance in this
play- There will be matinees Thursday,
Saturday and Sunday.
Ideal Weather for The Oaks.
The Oaks, Portland's big recreation park.
Is an ideal place to go these Summer days.
The shade of the oak trees is inviting In the
afternoon, and a iqyrlad of incandescent
lights make it a picturesque amusement
park in the evening. An eight-minute car
service on double tracks is accommodat
ing the great crowds which visit the park
dally. Sehilzonyi is playing his way into
the hearts of the public with his wonderful
Hussar band. He gives two concerts dally,
and the Davenports are seen twice every
day In their sensational high-wire perform
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
When Johnny Comes Marching Home
Next week will be the last of the engage
ment of the San Francisco Opera Company at
the Marquam. The last will undoubtedly be
the best, as every member of the company la
cast for Important parts and each will be at
home in the work. There is an abundance of
pretty, catchy music and sprightly comedy. It
will be a red letter week at the Marquam.
First performance of "When Johnnie Comes
Marching Home" Monday night.
Ijord Fauntleroy" at Empire.
Next Saturday matinee and night the Baker
Theater Company, with Ollte Cooper, will pre
sent "Little Lord Fauntleroy" at the Empire
Theater. That the theater will be crowded at
both performances Is a foregone conclusion, as
the play Is popular with both young and old
alike. The matinee will be a great event for
the younger generation, as there is probably
no character In fiction so popular with the
children as that of Francis Hodgson Burnett'
Little Lord Fauntleroy. t
"A Wicked Woman" Next Week.
The Allen Stock Company,' reinforced by
the addition of Josephine Deffrey, will be
seen next week at the Lyric In a magnifi
cent performance of that thrilling drama,
'A "Wicked Woman." It will be one of the
big .events of the Summer.
AT THE VAXJDEVIIXE THEATERS
All Features at the Grand.
All the acts on the bill at the Grand this
week are features, but the chief interest
centers in the wireless telegraph demonstration-
of Captain Henry. Delmore and
Darrell Introduce novelty dancing. Herr
Soana, the added attraction of the week
shows living portraits from the hall of
fame. "When the Widow Arrived," Is the
title of a one-act comedy, and James and
Bonnie Farley have something quaint to
offer.
Costly Acts at Pantages.
The spectacular vaudeville event of the
season Is the wrestling' bout between Pro
fessor Swan and a man-eating alligator in
a glass tank at Pantages Theater this week.
There is a family of these alligators and
several are trained to do remarkable feats.
Besides this there Is a hot of good things
In the vaudeville line, including Grace
Court land, the psychic wonder; Joe Hay
den, the veteran song writer; Lon Cox,
silhouette shadowgraphlst, and several oth
ers. It's the most expensive show of the
year.

ON VERGE OF STRIKE
Telegraphers and Employers
Not Able to Agree.
MAY APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT
Ten Per Cent Increase in Wages and
Shorter Hours Still Remains Un
settled, Though Commissioner
Neil Has Matter in Charge.
NEW TORK, June 18 Though
United States Labor Commissioner Neil
spent the day in this city, so far as
could be learned tonight nothing' defi
nite bearing .upon the differences be
tween the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union and their employers has yet de
veloped, as a result of. his visit.
It is understood that Mr. Neil is
looking into the merits of the demands
made by the men, and also considering
the same viewpoint of the telegraph
companies. It Is thought likely that
the Commissioner will make some ex
pression on the dispute to the Presi
dent at Oyster Bay.
Officials of the union acknowledge
that a formal statement would be is
sued tomorrow. President Small, of
the union, was out of town today.
Acting President Konenkamp said to
night that he had received no com
munication from Commissioner Nell.
Neil, It is said tonight, had been un
able to conclude his Inquiry as soon
as he had expected, and so abandoned
his earlier plan to return to Washing
ton this evening. He declined to dis
cuss the days developments.
The question at stake is the ID per
cent increase in wages which the two
companies promised- to give on March
1 last. The two companies declare em
phatically that they did give the 10 per
cent increase, while the telegraphers
contend that only a few favorites re
ceived the Increase, while more than
90 per cent of the men are getting even
lesg than they were receiving March 1.
The officials of the Western Union
Company will not talk on the subject,
beyond saying that there are no griev
ances on the part of the employes by
the company. It was said on behalf of
the company that there would be no
conference between the officials of the
company and the -parties who have
manifested an Interest in the telegra
phers' complaint. This would not ap
ply, however, to any investigation to
be made by Commissioner Nell as a
Government official.

attempt to obtain a raise of wages to
$6 per day, the strike originating' In

completed and It is but a question of hours
when the npht for recognition of the union
and a betterment of working conditions and

Rnns With Non-union Men.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 18. The California-Street
cable line will resume opera
tion within two or three days with non
union men at the old rate of pay. The of
ficials of the company are only waiting

end of the line before starting out the
cars. A number ' of the old men are
ready to return to work.
"We are going to establish open shop
on the California-Street line," President
Stetson said last night. "We have had
some men in our employ for a long time,
and we would prefer to have them run
the cars for us again. But we will deal
with the men individually only. If they
are not willing to come back on that basis
we will have to fill their places. We can
not afford to pay more than the old rate,
which was established by arbitration at
30, 31 and 32 cents.

AGAINST HIS 01 DECREE
SUPREME JUDGE EAKIN HELPS
REVERSE HIMSELF.
Jurist Does Not Dissent From De
cision Reversing His Own Edict
In the Circuit Court.
SALEM, Or., June 18. (Special.) A
rather unusual Incident in appellate court
procedure occurred today, when the Su
preme Court handed down an opinion
written by Commissioner Slater reversing
a case tried in the Circuit Court by Judge
Robert Eakln, now a member of the Su
preme bench. It Is evident that Supreme
Judge Eakln has either changed his mind
since he was a Circuit Judge or did not
participate In the hearing of the case on
appeal, for he Hid not dissent from the
opinion reversing his decision, in the court
below.
Xfee case was that of Frank Binhoff. ap
pellant, vs. the State of Oregon, respond'
ent. from Union County. Binhoft was
convicted of trespass and fined 315 in
Justice's Court. He took the case to the
Circuit Court on writ of review, arguing
that the complaint did not state facts
sufficient to constitute a breach of the
statute. The complaint alleged that he
trespassed upon the property of J. D. Mc
Klnnon. The statute in describing the
offense speaks of land not his own
Judge Eakln held in the lower court that
the complaint was sufficient. In the Su
preme Court it Is held that the complaint
was not sufficient, for it should have
averred that defendant trespassed upon
land "not, his own." McKlnnon may
have held the fee simple while defendant
held a lease or other lesser estate, in
wnicn case he would not have been
guilty; hence the need of the allegation
not his own.
Charles L. Brun, appellant, vs. Firmin
U. Brun, respondent, from Marion Coun
ty, William Galloway, Judge; affirmed.
Opinion by Chief Justice Bean.
Plaintiff is a nephew of defendant In
1900 defendant gave plaintiff a deed to his
donation land claim and plaintiff executed
a deed reconveylng to his uncle, which
latter deed was given to Father Schell,
a priest, to be delivered to the uncle if
he should, recover from the serious ill
ness he was then suffering. He recov
ered, the deed was delivered and record
ed, and this suit was brought by the
nephew to cancel it on the ground that
it was wrongfully dellyered.' The Su
preme Court holds, as did the lower court.
that the deed from defendant was in the
nature of a gift "causa mortis," and that
the deed from plaintiff to defendant was
intended to revert the title in case of re
covery.
Willis Kramer et al.. appellants, vs.
Canneld Marsh et al., respondents, from
Marlon county, William Galloway. JudKe:
appeal dismissed for failure to serve no
tice of appeal on one of adverse parties.
WANT NO MORE RESERVES
(Continued From First Page.)
this city today. United StateB Senator
Thomas H. Carter, of Montana, made the
following statement today before the con.
vention assembled regarding the position
of President Roosevelt on the public
lands:
"The President is irrevocably opposed.
it seems, to the continuance of the free
and unregulated range, but is not abso
lutely committed to any particular scheme
for the accomplishment of this purpose.
This the President has Informed me. The
policy, as I am Informed by him, is the
regulation of public lands.
"The President added that if it were
found there were any harsh rules in
force in the administration of the poli
cies, these harsh rules, not the policies,
would be modified."
Governor Henry A. Buchtel, of Colora
do, called the convention to order at 10:30
o'clock; United States Senator Henry
M. Teller, of Colorado, nominated Senator
Thomas H. Carter for temporary chair
man, and he was unanimously chosen.
George S. Walker, of Cheyenne, secre
tary of the National Woolgrowers" Asso
ciation, was made temporary secretary.
Senator Carter, . in his address' as
temporary chairman, went over the
history of the development of the
West. He . expressed the opinion that
the day of the open range Is past. He
said among the questions to come be
fore the convention was whether the
lands of the United States should be
made a source of revenue by requiring
permits for tne use or tne public range,
or whether the leasing system shall
prevail. He said that the Federal Gov
ernment as a landowner had just as
strong a right as private Individuals
and no stronger.

Wall Street Puzzled Over Ac

FORCED TO SHOW ITS HAND
Avoids Display of Extravagant
Profits by Issuing 200 Per Cent
, . Dividend in Shape of $24,
000,000 40- Year Bonds.
NEW TORK. June 18. (Special.) AD of
Wall street was puzzled today over the
200 per cent dividend declared by the Ad
ams Express Company in the form of an
issue of $24,000,000 40-year 4 per cent bonds.
Conservative interests in the financial
district were at a loss to explain why a
bond issue imposing fixed charges for
the next 40 years was created to distrib
ute an unexpected dividend.
One reason why the 200 per cent divi
dend was declared at this time was that
under the Hepburn rate law the Adams
Express Company for the first time in
its history . would be forced to make &
statement of its affairs. Up to the pres
ent time none of the express companies
have ever published a statement of earn
ings, liabilities or assets. In fact there
is only one copy of the Adams Express
Company's charter and that is kept
locked up in a safe. When the shares
