2 THE SUNDAY OEEGONlAN, PORTLAND', MARCH 18, 1900. MISSION OF THE OAEL FATHER P. C YOIUCH LECTUIIES AT THE CATHEDRAL. XrioaeB.t Tribnto ta the Zrlxh. Race jtor TJiclr Devotion, to a Great Troth. Father Peter C Yorke, of San Fran cisco, lectured last night at the Cathedral to a largo and approving audience on "The Gael and His Mission." This -was appropriate to St Patrick's Day, as St. Patrick -was named as the great preacher who first Introduced into tho Emerald Islo the principles -that have made the Celtic race famous. The scope of the lecture was very broad. Religious contentions between the Catholic and Protestant faiths were freely reviewed, colonizing and government-founding work received almost equal attention, a few comprehensive remarks were made on the life and work of the patron saint, and the lecturer came to modern affairs, when the speaker dwelt with bitterness on what tho Anglo-Saxon race Tvas doing at the present time. In the sanctuary near where tho speak er's pulpit stood were seated Archbishop Christie, Rev. J. H. Black, Rev. E. P. Murphy, Rev. A. J. O'Reilley, Rev. D. Curley, Rev. L. R. Desmarals, Rev. James Rauw, Rev. W. Moore, Dr. McNully, Rev. JL. Brosseau, Rev. Lu I Conrardi. Rev. A. Luzon and Rev. "W. R. Hogan. Father Dominic, President of the Mount Angel College, manipulated the big Cathedral organ with skill, bringing from it eorao fine Irish melodies. Before the lecture he played a medley of Irish airs and followed with others familiar to every one. In troducing his subject. Father Yorke said: "On this day, the world over. Irishmen and sons of Irishmen celebrate the mem ory of him who first brought their fathers (tidings of great joy. The day has ceased to bo merely the festival of a nation, and has become the festival of a race. As the Irish people and their sons are scattered all over the world, they have carried their reverence for this day with them. As in olden time the scattered sons of Israel, whether on tho banks of the Nile or In Babylon, turned their faces towards Je rusalem and God's holy mount when they lifted their hearts in prayer, so all the world over today, and that of vaster ex tent than the territory then bordering upon tho Seven Seas, Irishmen and the children of Irishmen worship with their feces towards their saint. "And, ladles and gentlemen, neither the day nor the observance of the day seems to decrease. In spite of sneers and in eplte of Jeers, in spite of the promptings of a false pride and of avarice, the children of the Gael still do honor to the day and do honor to it with Increasing solemnity. The reason that the day is immortal is that it represents something that cannot die. It Is not a mere sentimental observ ance, it is not a mere political or a mere patriotic observance. Tho day stands for a great truth. It stands for a principle that is above all earthly policies, and it is becauEe the Celtic race feel that and understand that principle that the day still continues and grows more popular." Father Yorke said there are some peo ples whose pride is in the achievement of their nation as soldiers or sailors in war like deeds, and their young grow up with such ambitions. There are nations that regard patriotism as the great ideal, and their young learn such lessons first There are others to whom commercial enter prise, cities teeming with wealth and grandeur are the great aims in life. To none of these do the Irish belong, al though the" Gael contributed its share to all and could claim a fair share of honors in each. The ideal of the Irish race Is justice and truth, and their hands are al ways against tho oppressor, Injustice and wrong. Following up the mission of the race, tho speaker said it had been proven by time that Irishmen are content to regard all the glittering attractions of the world as naught, that they might be the great ex pounders of holy laws, thus denying them selves that which is on this earth for the glory of the kingdom to come. A beautiful picture was drawn of the lone Celtic boy seized by violenco and transported to the barbarian isle of Ire land; his life there, return to Gaul, 40 years of preparation, and final call through a vision to perform his life work on the Island, where his name became immortal. The great wave of religious faith consequent to St Patrick's .teach ings, the dark ages on the Continent when learning sank beneath might but was pre served by the ark of Ireland, the immense number of saints sent from Ireland to bless the rest of the world and firmly es tablish the true faith In every land, the Echools and Industry there prior to Anglo Saxon conquest, the bitter periods follow ing this effort, penal laws, riots, murders and bloody warfare, prices upon the heads of wolves and priests, and many other events of history, were enumerated to prove the purity and strength of the Irish and the woeful consequence of the effort to subjugate them. In answering the charge that Catholics were intolerant and disposed to keep the masses in Ignorance, was where the speaker became sharpest He reviewed all tho severe measures of England against Papists, and came down to Amer ica, where he showed the intolerance of early Protestants. He said that, despite boasts heard ICO years ago that Catholi cism was fast decaying, the church was getting strongest in the lands where the English tongue, which was the church's ancient enemy, was now dominant And this presence of Catholic faith was not ascribed to tolerant beliefs on the part of its opponents, but to the fact that the Catholic religion had to be recognized. Tho Inception of the Revolution in Amer ica was credited to a eplrlt of intoler ance which actually drove tho Catholics of tho Canadian territory beyond hope of united action against tho mother country. Father Yorke said It was painful to think of all these things, but such thoughts and arguments were forced by the proud po sition constantly being assumed by the enemies of the church. He predicted that if the Protestants should ever got In the minority, they would never suffer at tho hands of the predominant Catholics such penal laws as had been enacted for tho latter. He said the Celtic race had alwaje opposed the divine right of Kings to rule people, and the divine right of the English race to rule the Celtic race. It today op posed the divine right of one race, "es pecially the mongrel race known as the Anglo-Saxon," to rule black or brown men. The speaker also. In connection with the wearing of the Shamrock, spoke of "the mercenaries who, hired by English gold, do England's bloody work in South Africa," The same principle, he said, applied down under the Southern Cross, where another flag was being thrust over a people. Irish men did not believe in the right of this or any people to thrust upon brown men "rot ten government," or the right to slay and kill thousands for mere "greed." The speaker was applauded several times during his address, particularly when mak ing the bitter references to the Anglo Saxon. When he entered he was greeted with applause, but raised his hand depre catingly, and said: "Although the Holy Sacrament has been removed, I do not be lieve In applause In a church." Father P. C. Yorke will lecture this evening, at 8 P. M.. In the Cathedral. There will be no admission charged, and those who were unable last evening to hear the talented speaker will doubtless avail themselves of the present oppor tunity. PREPARING TO RECEIVE DEAD Meetlngr Today to Arranpro for Burial of Volunteers. General O. Summers received a tele gram last evening that the remainder of Oregon's dead at the Presidio had been shipped to him here in Portland. The bodies will arrive "Wednesday morning.

The Metropolitan Stock Company fit tingly recognized St Patrick's day in its clever presentation last night of "All Mixed," at tho Metropolitan Theater, by a number of musical specialties that were appropriate to the occasion.

DEFENDS COURT OFFICERS JUDGE! GEORGE PRAISES WORK OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY. Says That Mr. Sevrall and His Deputy, Mr. Giltaer, nave Done Their TVorlc Well. Judso George yesterday, in an interview with a reporter of The Oregonlan, con cerning the criticisms bestowed upon the District Attorney at the meeting of the Multnomah Republican Bar, Friday night, freely stated that he considered the work of that official In the conduct of cases in the Criminal Court as having been well performed. "With reference to the subject His Honor said: "Judicially or personally I know noth ing concerning the serious charges against the District Attorney's office. Usually Mr. Sewall looks after the indictments and the grand Jury, and Mr. Glltner tries the cases in court Mr. Sewall also" some times appearing. All indictments found have been good, I think, without excep tion, and very nearly all have been fol- fyjp lowed with conviction and punishment Business is kept up promptly, and, so far as I know, criminals have been prosecuted earnestly and successfully. "Together, Mr. Sewall and Mr. Glltner have been careful and painstaking in their preparation of cases, and very able and efficient in prosecution. No Instance has ever come to my knowledge of any transaction either corrupt or Irregular, or questionable. As to the Chinese lot. tery ticket-selling cases, all Indictments found by the grand jury, with the ex ception of two, have resulted In convic tions. One case was tried by tho court, and five, I recall, by a jury, and all con victed and fined up to 5100 in the worst cases. "The attorneys for the Chinese have fought each case hard, and appealed four to the Supreme Court. The two others are awaiting the result of their appeal. These cases, to my personal knowledge, were vigorously and effectively prosecut ed by Mr. Glltner. More cases could probably have been presented In the State Circuit Court, had It not been for the city trying to punish this evil through city agencies under a city ordinance passed May 17, 1S97, which was first held by me, as Circuit Judge, and then by the Su premo Court of this state, on appeal, as Invalid. "The object of the city officials In prose cuting these lottery cases as city cases' was commendable In their desire to se cure, If possible, for the city the fines, whereas under the state law the fines go to the state. A new ordinance carefully drawn may and probably will reach this desirable end." TO PROTECT CATTLE. Xotlce to Rallrondtrby Secretary Wil son, Department of Agriculture. James Wilson, Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture, has Is sued notices to the railroad companies regarding the transportation of cattle within the United States. Local lines have received a generous consignment of these, to be posted up In conspicuous places. Secretary Wilson directs the at tention of all railroad companies engaged In the transportation of cattle from one state or territory to another to certain statutes of the United States. He states that the provisions of the statutes are not lived up to; that complaints are made that cattle and other livestock are con fined in cars for a period exceeding 2S hours, and that at times when they are un loaded they are not allowed the five con secutive hours for rest required by stat ute.

But when animals are carried in cars, boats or other vessels in which they can and do have proper food, water, space and opportunity to rest the provisions in regard to their being unload ed shall not apply." e IN THE BUSINESS 47 YEARS Pioneer Salmon Packer Talks of This Season's Prospects. P. J. McGowan, who has been In the salmon-packing business on the Lower Columbia since 1832, is at the Perkins. Fishermen, he says, are taking advantage of the close season by repairing their boata and nets for tho Spring onslaught, which is to begin April 10. If the run of fish should be good this year, fishermen will make money, aa the prices paid for the raw article by the canners and cold storage men will be higher, if possible, than last year, when 5 and && cents a pound was paid. The demands of cold storage will tend to Increase the fisher men's earnings, and besides this, the com bine is already in the field offering extra Inducements in the way of twine, etc., and endeavoring tc hire the old hands at an advance from the price paid in 1SS9. "Of course, we will pay as much as anyone for the catch, but the price of tho canned product mu;t go up as a result," said Mr. McGowan. "The combine is try ing to bulldoze tho outeide canners Into joining with them, but this object la not likely to be effected, as the combine plainly lost money last season, in spite of the 2& per cent dividend declared on Its watered stock. I am pretty sure the money paid out on this dividend was borrowed by the combine for the .purpose, and so it wa3 a wind dividend on wat ered stock, Mr. McGowan has grown old In the salmon business, having celebrated his S4th birthday yesterday, but he is still halo and hearty, and attends personally to the details of his firm's business, which is that of conducting four canneries two on the Columbia River; one at Shoalwater Bay, and one at Gray's Harbor. This keeps him on the move all the time, as he vislte each of his distant canneries sev eral times a year. When he first began preparing salmon for shipment, tho fish were packed in barrels, covered with brine and shipped by sailing vessels for distant ports. Salmon Is still being packed in this way, he says, for the German mar kets, but very little, salt Is used, as the salmon Is washed off and smoked before being placed on sale in Germany. When he began packing, there was sup posed to bo but one fishing ground on the Columbia, and that was at his present home, Chinook, near the mouth of the river, on the Washington side. After a few years, Oak Point and Baker's Bay be came favorite fishing points, and finally seines and nets were spread everywhere on the lower river. This year he thinks will tell the tale aa to whether artificial propagation Is a success or not, and If the run does not In crease over that of last year. In June and July, he will lose faith in propagation. Present indications point to a light Spring run, judging from that of January of this year, which was lighter than that of Jan uary, 1S90. The catch last year amounted to 200,000 cases, and the largest catch in tlje history of salmon packing on the Co lumbia River was GOO.000, several years ago. 4 a MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS. First Baptist Church Pays a Tribute to Rev. Claude Raboteau. The following memorial was adopted by the First Baptist Church of Portland upon the life and character of Rev. Claude Raboteau, Its former pastor: "Whereas, word has come to us that our Heavenly Father has called home our dearly beloved brother and former pastor, the Rev. Claudo Raboteau; it is by this church "Resolved, That we desire publicly to record our deep appreciation of his great worth as a minister of the gospel, and our profound sense of personal loss of ono who has so thoroughly endeared himself to us during the short time that we held to each other the relations of pastor and peo ple. "His pure, Christian character, his self sacrificing spirit his gentle and loving disposition and his noble life drew all hearts to him, and when his long-continued, serious illness compelled him to leave us, we felt that it had been good to have known him, and we parted with him with sadness. "We sorrow that we shall see his face no more, but we rejoice in the expectation that we shall meet him again, where sick ness and pain cannot enter and where part ing is no more. "With our dear sister, his bereaved wife, we mingle our tears, and share with her the great loss that has befallen her, and extend to her our sincere sympathy." To the 10,000 Riders of Portland. Rudyard Kipling said of the streets of Portland, that they would disgrace an Irish village. An election Is soon to take place. If all riders who can vote, or influence a vote, will select as their candidate from among the nominees for all city and coun ty officers, habitual riders only, a way will soon be found to provide a place for wheels on the streets other than the side walks, and what Kipling said will soon cease to be true.
