WOULD LOSE REVENUE Revenue Burean Opposes American Wines in Medicines. WASHINGTON. Oct. 25. The Internal Revenue Bureau la strongly opposed to the contention of the California grape growers for a reversal of the committee- ruling of March IS, 190?. which Inhibits the use of fortified American sweet wines in the manufacture of proprietary medi cines or compounds. To do so. In the opinion of officials, would be to violate the law- and to deprive the Government of many millions In revenue annually This would be accomplished. It Is pointed out. hv the general substitution In the manufacture of proprietary medicines, etc.. of non-taxable sweet wines, which have been reinforced by the addition as a preservative acid, of non-taxable grape brandy for spirits which are taxed $1.10 per gallon. The purpose of the law which does not require a tax to be paid on grape brandy when used for this specific purpose Is said to have been solely for the encouragement of the grape and sweet-wine industries. Commissioner Capers has received a let ter from 9-nator Perkins, of California, advocating the reversal, and transmitting a copy of a resolution recently adopted by the Manufacturers' and Producers' Association of California, and the Trans Missi.slppl Commercial Congress at San Francisco. It also urges the reversal of the objectionable ruling. SEVEN CHOLERA CASES Dlseate Makes Fresh Start Among Natives in Manila. MANILA, Oct. 2. Seven new cases of cholera were reported in thla city for the day ending Sunday night. The slight Increase in the spread of the disease Is ascribed by the authorities to the many gatherings of the people on Saturday night and Sunday, and the feaste that accompanied the assem blies. The situation is not considered to be grave, as the Health Department feels that it has the epidemic well .un der control, expressing no alarm over the Increase. it Is probable that the Government will further restrict the gathering of the native and also the sale of dan gerous food. It Is believed that the cockpits located In the suburbs of the city, where It is difficult to maintain a strict watch over the sale of foodstuffs, are responsible for the slight Increase In the number of cholera cases noted at each week-end.

GUFF INTO HASKELL Interior Department Sends Letter to Indians. ACCUSED OF FALSEHOOD Statement Advises Osage Indians and Five Civilized Tribes That Oklahoma Governor Fraudu lently Got Their Lands. MI'SKOGEE. Okla., Oct. 25. A state ment was received here today at the office of the Commissioner of the Five Civilized Tribes, from the Interior De partment at Washington, with Instruc tions to publish the same for the In formation of the Osage nation, directly concerned. and the Five Civilized Tribes, incidentally Interested, and to take every necessary step io bring it to the notice of the individual Osage In dians. The statement Is In answer to Gover nor Haskell's recent charges for the in formation of the Indians of the Osage nation, and says: "Governor Haskell's recent open let ter to the President charges that the President acted unfairly to the Osage Indians In the matter of fixing the roalty for the lease of their oil lands to the Indian Territory Illuminating Oil Company. Governor Haskell's statements are deliberate falsehoods; nor does he suggest a possible remedy. As his dis regard of truth is wilful, no reply will be made to him personally, but Presi dent Roosevelt and Secretary Garfield are not willing that the Osage Indians should not know the truth about these matters. In order that they may not be deceived by Governor Haskell's false statements. For this reason they send to the Indians the truth about each of the charges he makes." The statement takes up Haskell's charges in detail and analyzes them to show their "deliberate untruth." The statement concludes: "Haskell attempts, by deliberate and reiterated falsehood, to give the false Impression that he is championing the Interests of the Indiana. The Depart ment knows of but one matter in which he has shown a practical interest in In dian affairs and this was when he pro cured plots of valuable township lands from the Indians, the methods of which procurement are declared to be fraud ulent in suits filed against him and now pending In the courts to recover for the Indians the land which he has thus procured." KEEP CLEAR PARTY TANGLE Exclusion T-eafrue Members Refuse to Indorse Democratic Ticket. SAX FRANCISCO, Oct. 25. After five hours of heated debate in the course of which the chairman found it necessary to have several unruly persons ejected from the hall, the San Francisco branch of the Pacific. Coast Exclusion League, by a vote of 98 to 14. today adopted a substitute for the resolution offered last week in dorsing both the National and state tick ets of the bemocratio party, the substi tute reaffirming the non-partisan attitude of the league and leaving to the discretion of the members the support of such can didates as they believe will best safeguard the coast from Oriental invasion.

HUGHES HAS REPLY Answers All Questions Pro . pounded by Chanler. ASKS RIVAL TO DO SAME Concludes by Challenge to Demo cratic Candidate to Come Out and Tell Where He Stands on Issues. MALOXE. X. T., Oct. 20. Governor Hughes today at a Republican meeting in Malone gave his answers in full to the ten questions put to him by Lieutenant-Governor Chanler In a Newburg speech reported today. The ten ques tions and the replies were as follows: 1. .Are you in favor of a constitutional amendment providing for the election of United States Senators by the people? A. I am. 2. Are you In favor of the re-election of United States Senators Piatt and De pew? A. This is not a question for the Gov ernor, but for the Legislature. 3. Why did you refuse to appoint a rail road man upon the Public Service Com missions? Was it because there was no practical railroad man in the State hav ing the ability, in your opinion, to fill such a position? A. I did appoint a competent railroad man upon the Public Service Commission of the Second District, which has general supervision of the railroads outside the counties composing Greater New York. He was a man of large and varied exper ience in the different branches of prac tical railroading. I refer to James E. Sague. One of those who recommended him to me was Lieutenant-Governor Chanler. 4. Are you In favor of the personal A Little Journey to the Politicians Arthur A. Greene Gains a Variety of Impression s by a Visit to Republican State Headquarters. BT ARTHUR A. GREENE. THE present National campaign, which Is just now taking a brace for the last lap, locally at least. Is not exactly' a wild orgy of enthusiasm. It has not been what a purist would call a "rabble rouser" and as the result of certain visits paid by me to the state headquarters of the two big parties. I'm constrained to say that things are being conducted on about the same nerve racking, high-pressure schedule as usual ly characterizes a concatenation of the state W. C. T. U. or the annual conven tion of Journeymen Undertakers. This Is not an Intimation that the Re publican and Democratic committees are not doing effective work, for it would appear that each of the pa'rties in Interest is snatching many brands from the burn ing and each is saving our glorious common country to the uttermost. But the methods are not the methods of the glorious. lung-testing past. Modes have radically changed and the busy bee in gum-shoes has succeeded the roaring lion. Brass bands and flambeaux and huzzas haven't done much ice-cutting in politics since the first McKJnley cam paign and this one is the most noiseless within the memory of a young man whose ken goes back to Garfield and Arthur. Whatever issues may be at stake they do not appeal to the emotions and the careers of the opposing candidates have been so hum-drum that the voter has no call to do hero-worshipping. One might ais well throw up his hat and wave ban ners at a meeting of the City Council where representatives of rival paving companies were urging the merits of their wares. It's plain business this year and has resolved Itself Into a bread-and-butter affair. A full dinner pail is a good and useful thing, but It's too practical and sordid to become hysterical over. The mighty issues growing out of the Civil War which made American politics the most picturesque game in the world have joined the mighty dead who expounded them in the golden age of the 'Ids and '80s. There are no giant In these days. To one who recalls the never-to-be-forgotton campaign of '84. the present one seems flat, stale and un profitable. There is no wild, pulse-stirring chant like that historic refrain, "Blaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine'" the slogan which aforetime stirred the zealots who loved him to idolatry and was a chal lenge of battle to the Democratic enemy. Now it's a plain matter of the day's work and the ancient blood-feud between the parties is forgotten. On the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce building is a big barn-like room, with a desk or two In it and sundry piles of lithographs and tracts. This is the place where the enlisted men of the party are received at Republican state headquarters. Opening off this ill conditioned apartment Is a smaller room a. trifle more ornate in which Clifton N. McArthur. secretary and acting chair man of the committee really conducts the campaign which he says will" carry Oregon for Taft by at least 20.000 ma jority. The irrepressible "Pat." legislator elect and leading candidate for Speaker of the next Leg-islator Is. at the tender age of 29. the youngest campaign manager In the United States. He is doing the work like a veteran, however, and there's no question but he's the boss of the whole shebang, either. Men much older in years and in the iniquity of politics defer to his Judgment and if the state does go right, as everything indicates it will. Judge Taft and the Mighty Powers will owe "Pat" more than almost any other man In the state. McArthur loves politics as a gambler loves his dice. However, ambitious he may be. and whatever"his activity may profit him, he would play the game with the same avidity if he were the veriest "piker," tacking up prosperity posters. Aside from the chairman there doesn't seem to be much "doing'' at headquarters. A half dozen of the faithful are usually to be found loafing around the big room discussing bad cigars and the prospects of carrying Lonesome Township, Curry Cunty. I looked over the patriots in the outer room after having perused . the various posters which adorn the walls, announcing that the Honorable Bill Yell will address the American people In Sonders' chicken coop at Atom. Wasco County, Monday night, and I couldn't see them; really I couldn't see them. The committee has done a lot of work however, without making much noise about it. McArthur tells me the cam paign, all told, will have cost less than $5000 when the election is over. A force of employes which has ranged from four to 15 has been employed and they've not been asleep. I'm Informed that they've sent out four tons of literature, save the mark, and have distributed 75.000 Taft and Sherman buttons. More than 60.000 lithographs showing the two party candidates In white lawn ties have been disposed of. In order to realize what this means it may be stated for the benefit of those who are in a delicate condition mentally, that if these litho graphs were piled one upon the other they would make a solid column of Re publican expectancy higher than the Wells-Fargo building, and if placed end to end. their combined length would equal that of . T. T. Geer. More than 3000 personal letters have swelled the postofflce receipts and dur ing the entire campaign enough hands have been shaken to pay off the Na tional debt. Something like 100 rallies have been held, the most Important one being the Beveridge affair at the Ex position building, in Portland which laid it over any similar meeting In the annals of the state. Of course. Oregon with only four electorlal votes is only a white chip in the game of National politics, but even white chips help some and the party organization is striving valiantly, if quietly, on limited means to deliver the goods to Big William and "Sunny Jim" a week from next Tuesday. i j .-aotefn. la v thrnulifiiit. the state, or are you In favor of It only in me uemocniiic ivy ui fr . . . A. I am in favor of a personal identi fication registry law wherever fraudsvx ist of such a character and to such ex tent as to make such a remedy desir able. s Why did you conspicuously omit In your speech of acceptance an expression of your approval of the Republican state platform? A. I did not conspicuously or otherwise omit in my speech of acceptance an ap proval of the Republican state platform. Portions of the platform I referred to specifically, and in other cases. I dis cussed and approved the policies which were Indorsed by the platform and which had been prominent features of my ad ministration. 6. Why did you not call Mr. Cortelyou. chairman of the Republican National Committee, and Mr. Bliss, treasurer of the Republican National Committee. as witnesses In the insurance investigation and ascertain from them what money they received from the insurance com panies and what use they mode there of? A. Because I had brought out the facts showing contributions made by insurance companies for political purposes. The function of the Armstrong Investigation committee, which I represented, was to investigate the affairs and conditions of, life insurance companies and not the transactions of political' committees. 7 Was not your nomination in 1906 and vour renomlnatlon in 1908 at the in stance and dictation of President Roose velt, a,. reward for your action in omitting to compel a full disclosure when It ap peared that Mr. Cortelyou. chairman of the Republican National Committee, had received large sums of the money of policy-holders of life Insurance companies? A. There is not a particle of truth in the suggestion. 8. Why did you oppose some limitation upon the amount of salary which might be paid to Presidents of life insurance companies and why was there no limita tion in the Insurance law which you prepared? A. Because It was not thought wise to attempt to fix such details In the statute but Instead to provide limitations of total expenses and of first year expenses which would insure economical management while leaving proper freedom within these limits to the companies to manage their affairs. 9. Is It not a fact that the effect of the insurance law prepared by you is to limit the compensation and salary of clerks, agents and minor employes generally in life insurance companies, while plac ing no limitation upon the extravagant sums paid to the higher officials of these companies? A. All expenses must be brought within the limits of total expenses and of first year expenses respectively. 10. During your term as Governor, how many laws which the courts have de clared nnconstitutional have you signed? A. The only'law which I have approved which has been declared to be uncon stitutional, so far as I know, was one de manded by the party with which my op ponent was associated. This was known as the recount bill. I signed It be cause I desired to see an important gues tion promptly settled. And this law. though finally set aside by the highest court, was held to be constitutional by a majority of the judges of the Appellate Division In the Second Department, among them being the distinguished Democratic jurist, the Hon. William J. Gaynor. "Now, Mr. Chanler." concluded the. Governor's reply, "come out and tell us where you stand on the issues of the campaign, and what you want done with the Public Service Commissions." In the original challenge. Lieutenant Governor Chanler declared: , "After you have answered these ques--tlons it will still remain for the people of the state to determine whether personal bias and official narrow-mindedness shall dominate the activities of this cosmopoli tan state, or whether a broad and liberal policy, giving consideration to all the diversified interests and elements in this, the Bmplre State of the Union, shall pre- val1'" The Governor's reply .produced a great sensation here, and the crowd. taken oft Its guard, received each of the ten brief statements with cheers.
