THE SUNDAY OREGONLAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 28, 1900.
JUMPED ON JOHN BULL
IilOICS TAHi WAS TWISTED AT MET.
liOPOLITAJf THEATER.
Ju&ge 0B&T, Mr. Stevens, of Claclca-
sras, and Various Other People
Pleaded the Cause of the Boers.
The lion's tall -was badly convoluted
last night at a -pro-Boer, anti-Anglican
meeting lield at the Metropolitan theater.
The building was packed, every seat and
every available fnch of space was occu
pied "with men and women, and a large
crowd, perhaps hundreds were turned
away. Some time before 8 -o'clock the
-doors were closed, but people struggled
over each other In an attempt to gain
admittance. The crowd in the street
wanted a speaker outside, but it was too
cold for ah overflow meeting. There was
lots of enthusiasm on tap. The audience
cheered everybody from lOom Paul all
the ""way down to a wiry'-looking "populist
from near Oregon City. Every reference
to Great Britain Tandl English institutions
was- hissed. Dr. A.' -C. Bmith was chair
man of the meeting.
At the close of the speaking resolu
tions were adopted, amid Intense enthu
siasm, -extending the sympathy of the
American people -t6 the- pe6ple of the
South African Republic The resolutions
in full are as follows:
Text of the Resolutions.
"VHiereas, -In 1771J the. patriotic fathers ot this
country 'fought England to xrala our independ
ence, and,
"VTnereas, The South African patriots today
ere righting -the same power to "maintain their
independence, and "to protect their homes, and,
Whereas, !The president of the United States
has not as yet granted to the patriotic Boers
belligerent rights.
Jtesoled, JEhet we readiest "that the represen
tctles of the people of the United States, In
congress assembled, extend to the South Afrl
"can republics the same generous measure of
ejinjMtiny that Uberty-lo-v ins congresses gave to
the. patriafa, p Greece. Hungary, vCuba and the
South American republics.
Resolved; That fhe greatness of the American
people Is the joint product of many national
ities' who, Tinder the blessings of liberty, hai e
built Tip "a government of the people, by the
people and for the people," and In order that
It "'shall not perish from earth," we oppose
the forming of any alliance with any European
power, and especially condemn one with Eng
land as Tin-American and opposed to the tradi
tions of the' republic.
.Resolved. That -we request the president of
the United States to define br proclamation the
rights of American vessel-owners and shippers
trading between the United States and neutral
ports. flO that they may conduct their business
under the guarantee of the protection of the
American Sag.
TJeaolved, That the people of the Orange Tree
State and the South African Republic are, and
of right ought to be, free and Independent, nnd
their civilization Is -understood to be equal In
morality to that of any other people, the false
witness of the British press to the contrary
cotwlthstanfilrig. Therefore, the precipitation
upon them of aVage foes in alliance with
trained saldlery threatens the repetition of the
horrors of "Wyoming, Fort Parjen and other
eveqte bitterly remembered by the American
people k ruthless- Instances pf British perfidy
end dishonor. The attention of the president of
the United States Is respectfully directed to
this feature, which is a notorious matter of
common repute throughout the world.
Resolved, That the American people, who
have the right to vote and make laws, have
Buffered from the oppression of trusts and crim
inal combinations, born of the same spirit that
is waging this war. Therefore, we believe the
position of the people of the Transvaal will be
intolerable If 'Great Britain shall succeed In
subjugating them and -depriving them of the
right of eelf-govemment.
Resolved, That this meeting, In concert with
the American people througnout the land, sends
its sympathy, good-will and heartfelt encour
agement to the Boers, and reminds them that
as we triumphed against the same foe, so may
they.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
furnished, each member of our congressional
delegation tt Washington, D. C.
Dr. Smith's Remarks.
Or. Andrew C. Smith, chairman of the
meeting, welcomed the great audience with
short remarks that were loudly applauded
at the end of very sentence. Hit a Brit
ish head, and there was a response. Speak
ers found how to touch the chord, and the
Boer sympathizers had frequent grounds
for shouting. Dr. Smith said in parti
"'We welcome you here this evening be
cause we know that the great majority
Of you, like the great majority pf the
citjzens of our country and the world, are
In, sympathy with, the .struggling little peo
ple inthe southern part of Africa In their
fight with ;the same foe and for the self
same principles for which our ancestors
here in America fought only a century
and & quarter ago. There are many points
of resemblance between those people over
there, those good, honest burghers whoare
ilghtlng for their very existence there are
nxahy .points of resemblance "between Ibem
and our IntoeBTate ancestors in America.
One, of those points 04 resemblance, for
instange, is the,comparison hat we might
mako between our illustrious andjmmortal
George Washington and his- little army of
farmers, md Jliat great statesman w hlch
wo now know 3ilm to be Oom Paul Kru
ger, and his little band of Teutonic burgh
ens, who are standlngattoay the great bluf
fer of nations. Although she Is one of the
greatest nations! will give her cr-edlt for
that still she is one of the most cruel, and,
notwithstanding all that, this little nation
of burghers Is -standing the. old lion at bay."
Dr. Smith was applauded at every turn.
When he; s&Id that lie was sorry he could
not "be g inate$al"ald to the" Boers the
clardor increasegiiraha at rfhe words, "their
causa is. the cause of liberty " there wag
another roof-raiser. Dr. Smith introduced
George. E. Chamberlain as the first speak
er. The First Speaker.
"Mr. Chamberlain explained that, al
though in name like the British cabinet
oflicer largely Instrumental in bringing
on the South African war, he was like In
no otherjrestfect When "he said there was
a ptrain Of Irishlildodn his veins, a voice
with, a decided Qetlc accent palled from
the audience, ""Good boy.Ti " T)ie speaker
said" he had noticed It announced In the
evenlngpaper that there would be a repre
eentatlve of the United States government
present to- prevent neutrality laws "being
violated, and a representative of the Brit
ish government W report proceedings. Such
were Invited to the platform, where they
were assured safety. He regarded the sea
of Faces Defore him evidence that the
American people were not, as -had been
said. In unison with the policy of Great
Britain.
Hr. Chamberlain delivered the only ar
gumentative address of the evening, fol
lowing the history of the South African
Inhabitants from the period of their col
onization until the present day. Among
the arbitrary acts of Great Britain, -otter
acquiring control of the colony, he said,
was the freeing of slaves, many of the
burghers not being paid for their human
property, -and those that were, being forced
to collect in Iondon.
Responsibility fpr the period prior to
SIscovery of precious metals and stones
In that country, -when the Transvaal was
virtually bankrupt; was laid to Great
Britain's door, as she was In possession of
the seaports and was said to haye taxed
the burghers almost out of existence. Ho
flenounced the policy of Great Britain,
not with Ill-will towards individual Eng
lishmen, for he claimed many as friends,
but denounced the government, the same
as he denounced his own government. By
the treaty of 1SS1 Mr. Chamberlain said
Great Britain reserved the right of exer
cising suzerainty over the country and
controlling treaties made with foreign
powers. As a result of the protest that
the speaker said followed this claim of
luzeralnty, Britishers themselves struck 5
this provision out of the treaty, retain
ing -only the right to intervene. In cases of
making .treaties with foreign countries,
Mid the speaker appealed to his .hearers
-any ground arising under this right
was ever" 'professed at the time' of the
declaration of 'war.
"There was nb cause of war," said the
speaker, "'but there had to be a pretext,
the 'first of which is humanity God help
it the secftnd, to compel the Boer repub
lic to lower the term of residence when
the franchise' should be allowed." Mr.
Chamberlain was well applauded, espe
cially when he approached the "hitter or
vindictive tone the audience seemed to
demand against the British.
His Maiden Effdrt.
IT- Topken was the next speaker. He
saldr,thls- was hl3 first effort in the line
of .public speaking, and "would probably
be his last. Mr. Topken read !hls remarks
from manuscript, and a times had some
little difficulty in making out his hand
writing. "The day of judgment," he read,
"will surely come to the British, and
Cecil Bhodes and the Chamberlains will
be asked for a settlement." The bulk oi
Mr. Topken's essay consisted of remarks
on the alleged egotism and arrogance 01
the English people, who consider, the
speaker perused, that they have a vested
right to trample on the rights of others.
The speaker was Introduced as a man
who was very familiar with the problems
In South Africa, and who had given much
study to the questions Jt issue, but he
spent his time in relating the former his
tory of England and her relations with
her Indian and American colonies, ani
.had but llttlo to say of South African
affairs. In fils closing periods he grew
somewhat eloquent, raised his voice a lit
tle, and protested against England's ex
cuses for the war.
Baiting: the Gro-svler.
Judge Thomas O'Day was the favorite
of the evening. Applause had been lib
eral before, but ovations were given him
of far greater length. Especially when he
tendered Tils sympathyto the Britishers In
stead of the Boers, a the ones most
needing it When he began solemnly, "I
have thought of the propriety oi changing

the character of this meeting from one of
sympathy with the Boers to one of sym
pathy for the British," the audience did
not grasp the point, and there was but
little laughter, but as he commenced to
finish the sentence, "because I under
stand the latest dispatches to say that the
British are retreating in good order and
the Boers are following up in confusion,"
the applause commenced and swelled into
a regular roar.
Judge O'Day was very strong in some of
his statements, but the stronger he grew
the louder was he cheered. There was
deep-seated animosity in much of the
cheering, that does not spring from Great
Britain's attitude towards the TransvaaL
That British haters had assembled to ex
press their sympathy at an opportune
time, the Transvaal merely being the
chance, was a fact apparent from the
heartiness with which the hearers ap
plauded' everything antr-British- If, per
chance, some British virtues were pro
nounced casually, they found" cold, dull
ears. Judge O'Day was emphatic on the
point that Oregon's congressmen should
be made to feel the force of the protest
expressed by the meeting, and he prophe
sied that If the representatives of the peo
ple did not lieed what was being said, some
Of them would ""receive a letter from
home." The speaker also wanted to warn
his-hearers thatwherevef Jthey found men
with anna and cannon shooting civilisa
tion into 'weaker fellow-creatures, a close
search would reveal a dollar at the bot
tom of the trouble. Civilizing by conquest
seemed to have become a disease of the
air, and Judge O'Day v, ould leave the peo
ple to infer that the vast majority of
Americans had no sympathy with their
own government's mission in the tropical
isles.
Dr. Smith Introduced Francis Clarno,
who was billed to read the resolutions,
which, it was announced, were like others
being resolved and whereased over the
nation. Somebody in the East had ap
parently divined exactly the sehtiment'of
the mass meeting in- the Metropdlitan, for
every sentence was applauded, and the fin
ish was greeted with an uproar.
From a Popnllstic Standpoint.
A populist politician from Clackamas
county named Stevens, whose profile
faintly resembles that of the "boy oratoc
of the Platte," was allowed'' to come for
ward and talk. He assured the audience
on his -word of honor that lie was totally
unprepared to make a speech, a statement
which they were soon tea totally prepared
to believe. He saldi
"This day will witness a change In the
minds of thousands of people in the United
States on the Transvaal question. Many
have formerly thought that in the end
England would win, but now they know
she won't,"' ,
He stated that lie had made a. special
study-of iilstory, and there was not op
record In 'its pages a. battle as great as
that of Majuba Hill, and that a people
who can defend their homes as the Boers
did then are incapable of being captured.
He continued td say that Great Britain
had already conquered the United States
in a commercial waywlth her usury, in
terest and Shylokian (accent on the ante
penultimate, if you pleasel laws, and has
her emissaries In every hamlet In the
country. He said the person, a. woman,
at that, was now living who will write
the "Decline and Fall of the British Em
pire." In only a few weeks Great Britain
will rank in the third class as a fighting
nation, 'and Is now no longer a heavy
weight. Then he reiterated the self-evident prop,
osltion that lie was totally unprepared to
speak.
He predicted the fall and the utter dis
integration of the British empire and the
establishment in Its place of the United
States of Africa, governed by Oom Paul
Kruger. "We see the beginning of the
end," he dramatically exclaimed as he
took his seat amid rousing cheers,
j Mr. Emen Speaks.
C W- Emen spoke next. He said he was
a stranger to most of the audience, but
he felt it was an honor to speak to such
a crowd. He said he knew but little
about the Boers, and would confine his re
marks to other matters. He said that the
ridicule Portland newspapers had heaped
on Oom Paul ,had aroused his American
blood. Mr. mea Is a very mild-mannered
man, and hla speech following so closely
in the, wake of Judge O'Day's tempestuous
remarks came like 0. rainbow, after -a
thunder storm. He managed to avoid cre
ating any enthusiasm in the audience, a
pretty difficult feat, to accomplish when
It is considered that 1000 men were pres
ent who were on the qui vlve for a chance
to yell. When he had finished he said he
had prepared no set speech, and he hum
bly asked pardon for having talked In such
a rambling manner. He promised not to
do it any more, and the crowd, in Its
good-natured way, forgave him.
Rlgrsen. Spoke Last.
S. B. Blggen, another man who did not
know that he was to be called upon, was
the last speaker. He spoke of England's
good qualities and of her bad ones. Ho
said he loved the country for Mills and
Darwin. Tyndall, Huxley, Shelley and
Burns,, iut hated her for the Cecil Bhodes
and the counts, and no-accounts Great
laughter followed this original remark.
He said he wished his gall was bigger, so
that he could hate England more than he
did. He predicted the defeat of England
in this struggle, said the gold and dia
mond mines are the causes xt the war,
and that 93 per cent of t"He American peo
ple sympathize with the Boers. He also
gave out the statement that the assist
ant secretary of the Interior of the Unite'd
States is in South Africa now, as the
agent of England, suing for peace on the
best possible terms.
The meeting adjourned with rousing ap
plause for Oom Paul.
IN THE SEVERAL. COURTS
JUDGE CLEJLAND HAKDS, DOWN
- 1 A. -NUMBER OF DECISIONS.
Receivership 'Claims in the Portland
Hospital Case Do , Not Take
Precedence Over Mortgage.
Judge Cleland yesterday decided that
the cialms of creditors of the Portland
hospital, amounting to about SO00, in
curred under the receivership, do not take
preference over the mortgage lien, of .the
United States Investment corporation.
The court held that the hospital corpora
tion was not such as owed a duty to the
public, and which must therefore be kept
a going concern, if necessary, at the ex
pense of the body of the property. The
persons and firms who credited the re
ceiver took their chances ot payment. The
court said it was not like a quasi public
corporation, such as a railroad company,
where the value of the plant depended on
Its being kept a going concern. The re
ceiver in the latter case was allowed to
manage paying the expenses of the re
ceivership out of the earnings, or making
them a lien on the property Itself. This
was not so in this as against the mort
gage. The decision was In favor of the
United States Investment Company, the
plaintiff in the case.
This has been a long and stubbornly
contested case. The mortgage debt Is
laTge, amounting to something like ?50 000,
probably more than the value of the prop
erty. The hospital Js located on the Base
Line road, at Sunnslde, and was estab
lished by the Methodists. It succumbed
to the panic In 1S93, and since then three
receivers .have had charge of it, in succes
sion, namely, Messrs. Fairchlld, Stack
pole and Masters. The business did not
prosper under the receivers, althougn
every effort was made to pull through,
and attempts were also made to raise the
mortgage by subscriptions Owing to
dull times this likewise failed. The court
took the view that the mortgage must
be satisfied before the receivers' fees or
any other expenses Incurred by them can
be liquidated. Unless the property is
sold for more than the amount of the
mortgage, the creditors will get nothing.
Danner Case Not Reopened.
In the suit of Anna Danner rsalnst Ja
cob Danner, to set aside a deed by the
plaintiff to the defendant, of the Chicago
hotel property, on East Washington street,
a motion to change the findings was de
nied. The previous decision was In fa
vor of the defendant The plaintiff's at
torney, J. F. Boothe, contended that the
court ought to have decided the other
way, because the answer of the defendant
admitted all of the allegations of the
plaintiff's complaint. The court held that,
although the answer might be subject "to
criticism, ft was too late to raise the
question now. The case had been tried
out upon its merits, and testimony sub
mitted on both sides, and a decision based
on the evidence Tendered. The court
therefore would eot. disturb the findings.
Not a Partner.
The suit of H. R. Alden against S, A.
Thrall, to compel the defendant to abide
by an agreement made In 1S92 ftir''the
purchase cf property in Holladay's ad
dition', was dismissed. The court found
that It was a verbal bargain to buy real
estate, under which the defendant had
paid no part of the purchase price, and
never had possession of any of the prop
erty, and the agreement was not legally
binding upon him.
According to the evidence, Alden paid
air of the money that1 ever was paid and
executed notes and Ja mortgage, paying
fome of the notes. He said Thrall prom
ised to come in after he had paid an ac
count he owed to Dadd & Tilton, and af
ter Thrall paid this claim he refused to
be a partner In the real estate deal.
Thrall told a different story.
Suit Dismissed.
An order of dismissal was made In the
suit of Hiram S. Stone against William
M. Ladd, administrator of the estate of
Hannah Smith, deceased, for possession
of 60 acres of land near Falrvlew. , Stone
was a nephew of Mrs. Smith. The'plain,
tlff contended jthat from 1881 until 1892
he conducted a large dairy for Mrs.
Smith, sold property for her, and per
formed many services, as did likewise his
wife. In 1892 he said they had a settle
ment, and she gave him this 60-acre tract,
but died without executing the deed.
Judge Cleland held that the testimony did
not clearly and definitely show that such
a settlement occurred between Stone and
Mrs. Smith as alleged, and even admit
ting it was so proven, it did not appear
Stone ever had possession of the prem
ises. The evidence at the hearing disclosed
that Stone received deeds of land from
Mrs. Smith from time to time, one for 160
acres, another for 80 acres, and a deed
covering 72 acres.
Ordered to Submit a Report.
In the case of the United States Mort
gage Company vs. P. A. Marquam et al ,
the Title Guarantee & Trust Company,
the trustee of the property was ordered
to submit to Marquam or his attorney a
complete copy of , all transactions with
reference to the property since last May,
at which time a statement was rendered
to Marquam.
NONSUIT GRANTED.
Pesthouse Neighbor's Cnse Thrown
Ont of Court.
Judge Sears yesterday held that George
P. Gray has not been damaged by the
erection and maintenance of the pest
house on land adjoining his 2-acre tract.
Gray sued the city of Portland for $2500
damages, and the court granted a non
suit. The testimony was that the land is not
used for anything. The court on Friday
afternoon rendered a decision restricting
the damages to the rental value of the
land, but the evidence showed that there
was no rental value.
The reasoning of the court was that if
the place was occupied by the plaintiff
or a tenant, a case of damage might ex
ist. In an action of this kind the court
has authority to abate the nuisance, and
accordingly If the plaintiff should recover
a verdict for a considerable amount of
damages, and If the court In obedience to
this verdict, which would have the effect
of declaring the pesthouse to be a nui
sance, should order It removed, the land
would then be relieved of the damage, and
the plaintiff would then have his land and
the money, too. This sort of a case is
full of Interesting features. A plaintiff
can sue to have the nuisance abated with
out demanding money damages.
H B. NIcholas.s attorney for the plain
tiff, argued, among other points, that the
mere establishment of a pesthouse was
prima facie evidence of a nuisance. This
pesthouse was within 75 feet of the land of
Gray. Mr. Nicholas read numerous au
thorities upon the subject of nuisances.
R. R. Duniway, counsel for the city,
agreed that to establish a place for the
treatment of suffering humanity was not
a nuisance. Counsel said: "Thequestion
is. Is this lawful or unlawful, or has there
been an actual Injury to the property?"
Where a lawful act is complained of as a
nuisance, the fact that makes It a nui
sance must be proven. No person has
caught any disease from it. This is vacant
land, and he can use It as he formerly
used itfor the past seven or eight years.
He cannot recover for the contemplated
use of It, but only for loss actually suf
fered. "What did Dr. Saylor say? That the
wind might blow that way, that the wind
might carry the germs that, tv ay, that
Gray, If he lived on the land, might catch
smallpox. Why don't you wait till you
get It? Then you would have a case for
damages."
Mr. Nicholas We don't wantit.
Mr. Duniway, continuing,' safd: "Tour
own authorities are against, you.', ,He
then proceeded to read the cases with
others, end eventually convinced' the vcourt
that tn. plaintiff had no case.

AS TO IMPORTED PARTRIDGES
English Gray Compared "With the
Red-Legared French.
In a recent Issue of The .Oregonlan, a
communication from W. F. Burcb, of
Ryton, England, was published,, with
reference to "the Introduction ,of jBngllsh
partridges Into thp "Willamette valley. A
statement in Mr" Burch's letter to the
effect that It was Intended to distribute
the red-legged French partridge is er
roneous, and may be misleading and dis
appointing to some sportsmen. He is per
fectly correct with regard to the qualifica
tions, or rather disqualifications, ,of the
red-leg, from a sportsman's jpoln of yew;
however, his information Is not correct,
The Oregonlan and other papers have
frequently during the past year fully de
scribed the two species and explained the
many good qualities and advantages of
the gray English partridge over his red
legged racing cousin, so far as the dog
and gunner are concerned. The former is
probably the best of all upland game
birds to work a dog on. They He perfect
ly, but still are so gamy that they afford
the most excellent sport and can always
be found In the open field.
This Is the only kind of partridge that It
has ever been suggested to introduce here.
A great deal of energy and timej haye
been spent by a few enthusiastic, sports
men to raise funds tp secure what has
been considered a suitable number proper
lj to start stocking the Valley with suc
cess These efforts have been liberally
responded to from some sections, and the
matter being In good hands, there Is no
doubt that the original purpose will soon
be accomplished,1,, and the birds rearing
their broods of young under the watchful
eyes of those who have thus helped to
contribute to the state's attractions.
The gray English "partridge Js a 'rapid
multiplier, but will not, as some unfamil
iar with their habits have suggested, soon
spread over the land like the ringneck
pheasant. They are entirely different in
this respect They are not great trav
elers, being Inclined to remain in the same
localities year after year. If only placed
at a few points, they will have to be
gradually transplanted; otherwise It would
probably take 50 years for them thor
oughly to cover the same area that the
ringneck pheasant does today In the Pa
cific Northwest. SPORTSMAN.
PERMANENT EXHIBIT GOES.
Committees Have Raised $1750, and
Will Get Remainder This Week.
The fund of $2500 needed to maKe a per
manent exhibit In Portland is almost In
sight. The subcommittees appointed to
solicit subscriptions to the fund held a
meeting yesterday afternoon In the assembly-room
of the Chamber of Com
merce building, and every member re
ported progress.
When the totals were footed up and
showed thai the subscriptions had
swelled to $1750, considerable enthusiasm
was stirred up, and It became a very
lively meeting, enlivened by pointed arid
pithy impromptu addresses by .Messrs.
Dosch, Wittenberg, Batchelder and others.
The work has rather dragged during
the past two weeks, owing to some of the
prime movers being engaged on jury
duty and other -unavoidable engagements.
But the committees resolved yesterday to
make a fresh start tomorrow and push
the project to . a finish. Every commit
teeman will do his utmost, and under

Michigan Artisan Draws Important
Facts From H. C. Breeden.
H. C. Breeden, of the .Breeden Furniture
Company, of Portland, 'during an Eastern
tour, spent some time at Grand Rapids,
Mich. While In that city Mr. Breeden was
Interviewed by the Dally Michigan Arti

to some facts about Portland's advantages
arid her future prospects.
From the article in the Artisan the fol

"H. C. Breeden, of the Breeden Furni
ture Company, Portland, Or., Is spending
a few days in Grand Rapids looking oer
the ynes and facing orders.; He Is feeling
verytmuch gratified over tho restoration
of the former minimum weight of 12,000
pounds upon furniture shipped to the Pa
cific coast, and declared 'the recent In
crease of the weight from 12,000 to 16.000
pounds carried with It an Increase of 33 1-3
per centon the cost of a carload of fur
niture from Grand Rapids to Portland. It
Is not possible to put 16,000 pounds of fur
niture into a 40-foot car, and no railroad
manager could legally compel shippers to
pay for more welgnt than the car actually
contains. Portland is a substantial, yet
conservative, city; Its business enterprises
are prosperous It has not experienced
the boom that Seattle. Tacoma and other
points on the Sound enjoy on account of
the business growing out of tho gold
discoveries in the Klondike region,
but It has done a very heavy export
business in grain and lumber. During the
past 3 ear one-seventh of all the wheat
