THE SUNDAY OREGCXSTIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 4, 1900.
STOPPED BY RED TAPE
HO ORDHRS TBT COXCEHXIXG THE
DBAD FROM OREGON.
"War Department Ha Xot Acted on
Ike GTerBet's BeqBcut That tlie
Bodies Be Returned.
When the remains of Oregon soldiers
will be received hi Portland, how many
tbere will be and who they are, is shroud
ed in that peculiar air of mystery one
would attach to secrets of state. It Is
probable, although not certain, that the
remains of ae man, supposed to be Pri
vate Hampton, company H. will be here
on the 8:15 Southern Pacific train today
San Francisco dispatches announce that
four others were shipped north last even
las. Including the first four, this makes
eight of which pretty positive information
of their shipment has been received. Of
the first four. It is probable that Hamp
ton is the only one coming through to
Portland. When the train arrives at 9:15
this morning, a number of volunteers will
be on hand to receive the remains of any
that may be aboard.
The effort of the state to have the re
mains of all Oregon men shipped to the
state still hangs fire. Governor Geer
waited In vain for a reply from the war
department concerning the Oregon men.
Late, in the afternoon he wired Colonel
Ixmg, depot quartermaster at the Pre
sidio, again, stating that the war depart
ment htk been requested to send all to the
state. Colonel Long replied as follows:
"Referring to your telegram of today,
no word has been received from the war
department granting permission to ship
remains of Oregon volunteers to Portland.
"LONG, Depot Quartermaster."
"What is now possible for the governor
to do remains to be seen. He Is deter
mined to Have all the soldiers returned to
the state, and the government seems to
liave little desire to do so. The announce
ment of the long list of other arrivals at
the Presidio includes many Oregon men,
about the same per cent of whom will
probably be uncalled for by parents as has
been found the case with the first bodies
on the City of Peking. Colonel Long does
not state that he has commenced Interring
those of the first arrivals uncalled for, but
from the first Information that after a
reasonable time feuch would be the case,
Oregon people would not be at all sur
prised to learn that, their soldiers were be
ing laid to rest in he Presidio cemetery
while the people of their native state were
earnestly begging to have them sent
Stoma,
Arrangements for funeral services here
have progressed well, as the uncertainty
of what will be done demonstrates that
cltisens must be ready for any unexpected
development. General Beebe called a
sieeting last evening of all -the National
Guard officers In the city, to arrange for
honorary escort, guard of honor and such
other details as might be appropriate for
the public funeral Of course, all are
aware that such remains as are coming
now will be delivered to parents for what
ever services they see fit, which will gen
erally be private, or at the outside only
attended by members of the deceased's
company or Immediate comrade friends.
General Beebe asked the commanders of
the five companies and light battery A
how many men they could furnish for an
honorary guard at the Armory while the
remains were resting there. Spontaneous
help came from every side. Each captain
said he could furnish enough men for
the guard for several days and nights. If
the arrival at the depot can be fixed, a
guard will meet the remains there and
escort them to the Armory, where they
will lie In state until the date decided upon
lor the burial of all together. General
Beebe expressed to Lieutenant Teller,
chairman of the committee of volunteers,
the eagerness of the Guard to do anything
possible to honor the dead. If any of
those being shipped now are to be buried
in the plot set apart for soldiers in the
cemetery, they will be placed In the Ar
mory, with the Guard, until the others
possible to secure arrive also. The bat
tery will furnish the horses for the fu
neral car.
For such Oregon men as come through
Portland, bound for neighboring towns, a
guard of honor will be furnished by the
volunteers from Portland to their destina
tion C. H. Markham, of the Southern
Pacific, gave General Summers permission
to send an escort of at least eight from
the dead soldier's company to the destina
tion of the corpse.
Captain C. E. McDonell, having in
charge the funeral of Private Hampton,
announces that the services will be held
at 3 P. M. today, in the Hassalo-street
Congregational church. Members of com
pany H, and others in the regiment desir
ing to attend, will meet In the Chamber
of Commerce building at 1:30 P. M., with
out uniforms. The firing squad and pall
bearers will be from Hampton's company
(H). and will wear the khaki. The family
cordially invKes all of the volunteers to
attend.
expansion had always been the policy of
this government. He gave some historical
illustrations to show that he who had stood
In the pathway of this policy had been
swept aside, and he predicted that history
would repeat itself again along the same
lines.
At the conclusion of Captain Spencer's
address. General Summers was Introduced
and gave his Ideas of the duties of this
country with reference to the new posses
sions, which is, that this country cannot,
in honor, relinquish them. He went over
the history of events that led up to the
possession of the Philippine islands, and
also made some mention of the part the
Second Oregon had in the matter. Among
the many things he spoke of was the en
couragement that had been iven the in
surgents by a certain class of misguided
American citizens. He declared that they
were mainly responsible for the uprising
and its continuance. The rugged old war
rior closed by saying that It -was not his
forte to make speeches, but he had come
out to mingle with his neighbors.
Following came talks by City Engineer
Chase, who talked about the Improvements
of the city and other matters along that
line; Councilman Cameron, T. C. Devlin,
Councilman Hanson and others, all of
whom were well received. The colored
quartet entertained the audience with
lively selections and ragtime music. To-
ward the close of tne addresses, cigars
were passed and the remainder of the
evening was spent In getting acquainted.
President Robinson and the members of
the club were ubiquitous In their attentions
and the club scored another old-time tri
umph. It may be said that the Sunnyslde
Republican Club has a very fine organiza
tion, and will continue to be heard from.

Archbishop Christie Inaugurates
Movement for Benefit of Sailors.
A new Seamen's Mission has been in
augurated by Archbishop Christie, under
the auspices of the Catholic church. Com
fortable quarters have been secured, and
opened, on First street, between Burnslde
and Couch. The archbishop has been con
templating this plan for some time, and
has been Impressed with the need of such
a Catholic institution on the Portland
water front. A large number of the sea
men who come to the port of Portland are
Roman Catholics. They do not worship
at the other mission, where the religious
services are conducted according to the
ritual of the Church of England, and It
is well known they rarely attend church.
For this reason the mission was opened.
In the new hall an altar has been erected
and mass will be said for the first time
at 10:30 o'clock this morning. A free read
ing-room will be conducted In connection
with the mission, where sailors will al
ways be welcome. Other features attract
ive to seamen will be added from time to
time. The mission will be In charge of
Rev. Father E. P. Murphy, who has re
cently come to Portland from the East,
and who has been appointed to this work
by the archbishop. Father Murphy will
devote his whole time to this work.

HIRES BOOK AGENTS CHEAP
TaoeHia. Wowsa "Warns Portland
Asralast a "Wily Anent.
According to a Tacoma woman who
writes to The Oregonian, a shrewd "book
agent has induced Puget sound women to
canvaes for him on terms very advanta
geous to himself. The correspondent has
enough consideration for others to warn
Portland women against him. She says
under date of February 2:
"We hear that a traveling agent who
has recently been operating both In Seattle
and Tacoma has gone to your city, ex
pecting to go from thence to Walla Walla,
Spokane and other dties in Eastern Wash
ington. Her plan of work Is as follows:
Party No. 1 pays 39 cents for a coupon
which entitles her to buy a. book of 6
coupons for $1 30, which she sells to six
friends for S6 cents each; they each In turn
paying ?1 SB for a book to sell to six of
their friends. When the first party has
eold her book of coupons and the persons
buying them have all bought books, the
first part can go back to the agent and
get a nice silk skirt made to measure, or
five yards of line taffeta silk. The travel
ing agent leaves the matter In charge of
some resident pereon, who finds that in a
short time she has a very unenviable
position. Four of these headquarters were
established in Seattle and three in Ta
coma, the wily agent well knowing the
more distributing centers the more books
would be eold, and the less silk fur
nished. "I do not write this for fame or noto
riety, but simply to warn the people that
they be not deceived Into losing time,
money and honor, for It Is self-evident to
any thinking person that only a very few
comparatively will get a skirt, while a
great man- will loee a little, besides hav
ing the uncomfortable feeling of having
drawn their friends Into the trap also."
