THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND. APRIL' 29, 1900.
HAiNGS ON THE WAR
Parliament to Kill Time Till
Roberts Does Something.
LIBERALS ARE GREATLY DIVIDED
English Interest In the American
Complications With Turkey
Not Deemed Serious.
LONDON. April 2S- Though the event
of the week In England has been the re
sumption of Parliament. It scarcely Justi
fied even passing comment. Lethargy has
marked and probably will continue to mark
the debates. Dissolution Is in the air, but
all the members of the House of Com
mons now seem to realize that their happy
release from Westminster depends entirely
upon the progress of the war In South
Africa, although, as announced weeks ago
In these dispatches, until Lord Roberts
brings the campaign to a climax, the gov
ernment will continue to kill time, adopt
ing a non-committal attitude towards any
home measures that might engender seri
ous controversy, and holding back any an
nouncement of any permanent. policy In
regard to South Africa until the Issue of
.arms simplifies the multitudinous prob
lems Involved. The Liberal papers inveigh
against this endeavor to secure peace first
and announce the policy afterward, main
taining that a frank announcement of the
government's intentions towards the South
African republics would greatly hasten
peace.
However, the Liberals arc far too hope
lessly divided on the war question to have
any chance of forcing Lord Salisbury's
hand In this respect. Thus, the unlmport-
ant situation is likely to define Itself Into
forgetfulness, and Liberal clamor that the
government Is making- death-bed repent
ance on any international issues, and when
Lord Roberts breaks the backbone of the
Boer resistance the Premier will spring
a programme and go before the country.
American complications with Turkey
continue the topic of the day. The Out.
look, after declaring the Sultan and Isaac
Gordon, the notorious money-lender, wno
died recently, were own brothers in mat
ters of mMcy, eays:
"The Sultan rce now fallen back en the
desperate tcbk.''s last device of buying
more, end has offered to place art orde
for a wannip with an American firm if
only the American Government will ac
cord him a wiiile longer. But tho Ameri
can Government will do nothing of the.
sort, and grimly intimates that unless the
dollars are promptly forthcoming, the mat
ter will be put in the hands of the United
States Navy- Tet President McKlnley's
candidature may not, after all, enjoy im
mense help from a naval demonstration
tn European waters, for the European
powers who are fellow-uffcrers with
America and Armenia are, in wholesome
Imitation, taking steps to press their
claims, and under such pressure Turkey
must give way. Russia, It Is true, is .hold
ing aloof, but, menaced by Japan, she is
hardly likely to lend Turkey more than
diplomatic help."
During the course of a long article, the
Speaker maintains that the difficulty Is
.chiefly duo to the exploitation of the Con
tinental and American press, and ridicules
the possibility of-a serious outcome, say
ing: "Tho devil's shadow promises to rebuild,
punifh, tax and to do a hundred things,
but pay ho cannot. Thereupon Ms vision
conjured up Admiral Dewey, of all peo
ple, sailing into tho Mediterranean and oc
cupying one of those ports, for the virtual
neutrality of which the great European
powers are willing to risk the chances of
a groat war among themselves. It Is on
a par wltli the boycott of the French ex
hibition or tho Don Paclflco claim."'
Richard Croker will remain in England
until after Derby day, and neither polit
ical rumors nor personal paragraphs will
alter this determination to enjoy the Eng
lish Spring racing season.
The Queen Back Home.
Though the Queen has returned to Eng
land and her remarkablo visit to Ireland
Is now a matter of history, the latest fad
chows no signs of abatement. Royalty's
presence in Erin failed to make Irishmen
tauntingly English, but, curiously enough,
made Englishmen annoylngly Irish. Of
this phase, which began by the universal
wearing of the shamrock, there have been
several striking examples this week.
The lower House of the York Convoca
tion, composed of sedate clergy and lay
men of the Church of England's northern
diocese, has adopted resolutions to put
St. Patrick upon the pages of the prayer
book, from which he was unaccountably
missing. St. Andrew Is there, but Erin's
patron saint was omitted when the re
formers re-edlted the liturgy.
On a par with this action Is the aglta--
.tlon In England over Irishmen's right to
wear kilts. Upon this momentous ques
tion Hon. William Gibson, son of Baron
Ashbourne. Lord Chancellor of Ireland.
has been lecturing to large audiences in
London, dressed in the picturesque, abbre
viated garb generally associated with
Scotchmen. Ho makes an impassioned
plea for the divine right of Hibernians
to wear kilts. Mr. Gibson Is a learned
young man who married a French woman
and consistently resides In England! u "
Now there Is talk of making the new
Irish Guards' Brigade masquerade In kilts,
though the reports whih nave come from
South Africa, telling of the suffering of
the bare-legged Highlanders and of the
sorrows which are attached to this out-of-date
uniform, are recent enough to banish
tho suggestion Into the long list of fool
ish absurdities. It Is probable that the
War Office will take that view.
In consonance with the Queen's personal
wishes, as many as possible of the new
Guards' Regiment will be mustered for
the usual birthday trooping of colors and
review ceremonies In London on May 23.
.This canonizing and kilting would be
merely humorous If the impartial onlooker
forgot the misery, poverty and stagnation
of industries that prevail throughout
Southern and Western Ireland; but In view
of the conditions that exist In that portion
of the British Isles, the so-called sham
rock craze In England can scarcely be
considered anything but another Instance
on the part of the majority of England's
people of their complete failure to grasp
the nature of Ireland's needs, however
well-meant and generous may be these
outward, skin-deep signs of friendship.
Bearing- on South Africa.
The effects of Sir George Mil
net's proclamation requesting ladles
to stay in England Instead of go!n?
out to the Cape are beginning to be appar
ent in society. Lady Henry Bentlnlck and
many others returning to London. Lady
Randolph Churchill was not expected to
return with the hospital-ship Maine.
Among those who had planned to go to
the Cape and have canceled their passages
on account of the proclamation of the High
Commissioner are Lady Erroll and several
other ladles of title.
Sir Alfred Milner has not Increased his
social popularity by his frank utterances.
Most society women preferred the bother
and expense of canceling their arrangc
. ments, rather than to face the criticisms
attached to a trip so much decried by the
High Commissioner, but they like the
author of their troubles more and more,
now that it is stated that Lord Roberts,
who approved of Sir Alfred Milner's proc.
lamatlon, cabled to his wife and daughter,
advising them not to go to the Cape, too
late, however, to effect his purpose.
According to the stories reaching Lon
don. Lord Roberts great kindliness and
sympathy have been finding many outlotu.
During the wait at Bloemfonteln he has
visited every man in the hospital, carry
In with him many little comforts; Going
up to one of the wounded, he asked, cheer
ily: "Can I do anything for you?" receiv
ing the reply: "Yes, Td like you to keep
my name out of the casualty list." This
man's name did not appear, and his anxi
ety that his relatives should not be
aLirmed was appeased.
Another, a dying officer. Lord Roberts
comforted by promising to watch over the
future of his only child. WJth such inci
dents current. It is scarcely surprising that
the nation adores Its little General, and,
as a whole, abstains rrom criticisms of
anything he may do. If General Buller
had waited Inactive as long as Lord Rob
erts has at 'Bloemfonteln, the storm of
public criticism and impatience would
well-nigh have forced his recall.
Dr. Parker, London's well-known
preacher, repeated this week Rev.
Charles Sheldon's Topeka Capital ex
periment. The paper put in his
hands was Pearson's Illustrated Weekly
News. The Kansas pastor seems rather
to have taken the wind out of Dr. Park
er's sails, and the tatter's effort is at
trading comparatively little comment or
attention. Dr. Parker recently celebrated
the 70th anniversary of his birth, upon
THE FLOOD IN TEXAS
HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES MOVING
FROM SI7BMERQED DISTRICTS.
S"'''
CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM II. MOODY, WHO EXPOSED THE PAEU3IATIO
MAIL-TUBE SCANDAL.
which occasion he was tho recipient of
many gifts.
The appearance of the new half-penny
momlng newspaper In London, though
much heralded, caused little or no stir
after the first Issue was sold. The en
trance of such an energetic man as Mr.
Cyril Pearson into the field of dally Jour
nalism was naturally looked forward to
with general interest, but the Express
proved so similar to the Dally Mall that
expectations were somewhat disappointed.
One noticeable difference is that the Ex
press prints news on the first page, an
American plan In vogue with no other
London morning paper, all of them devot
ing the first page to advertisements.
So inured, however, is London becom
ing to American methods, that a paper
which had not a ghost of a chance of
succeeding Ave years ago, may now be
come a successful and popular medium.
CENSORSHIP IS RIGOROUS,
And Roberts' Official Dispatch Does
Not Make Situation Clear.
NEW YORK. April 2S. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: The rig
orous censorship has excluded press news
from the Free State for 24 hours. The
war correspondents, owing to the exten
sive deployment of five divisions and two
cavalry brigades, have, with one or two
exceptions, returned to headquarters at
Bloemfonteln, and their conjectures re
specting the direction of the lines of the
Boer retreat and British operations have
not betn In accord.
General Roberts, In a midnight dispatch.
presented a brief summary of the situa
tion as he understood it at 3 o clock Fri
day afternoon, but left several points in
doubt. General Hamilton, with the Mount
ed Infantry, and one "brigade of the North
division, had reached Thabanchu. where
General-French Joined him with his caval
ry origaaes yesterday morning, Kundles
division being a few -miles south. The
Boers were still holding the eastern out-
Jet of the town and French and Hamilton
were preparing to turn them out. Both
Hamilton and French had made fine
forced marches, but It was not clear
whether the main body of the Boers had
retired to Thabanchu from De Wet's Dorp
or had gone across1 the country towards
Constla. to effect a Junction with Olivier"
forces' retreating from Wepener. The for
mer, theory was more probable, but even
In that case it was uncertain whether the
Boers had remained In force or had left
a rear guard In the town.
General Roberts reported that General
Brabazon, with the Yeomanry Cavalry.
had gone as far as Wepener and returned
to De Wet's Dorp, where Chermside's di
vision was still halting. Pole-CareWs
division was either at De Wet's Dorp or
was marching toward Thabanchu. There
was nothing from Wepener and no other
official news except a few casualties and
a report of an outpost affair near Be
thulle. General Roberts' operations are now
conducted on so large a scale that the
public here Is dazed by them, and re
quires some definite result, like another
Paardeburg, In order to be convinced that
he is making progress. The experts re
gard his maneuvers as masterly.
NO MORE TUBE SERVICE.
Company- Gives Notice That It Will
Quit at Once In Nerr York.
NEW YORK, April a. The first effect
In this city of the action "of Congress in
refusing to appropriate money to continue
the pneumatic-tube mall service Is the
stoppage of the pervico by the Tubular
Dispatch Company. General Manager Bo
gardus, of the company, has notified Post
master "Van Cott that the service for
transporting mall from the lower part of
the city tb the uptown stations will be dis
continued at once. Mr. Bogardus said:
"Our contract with the Government does
not expire till July 1. 1900. but. there seems
no recourse for us except to submit. With
tho appropriation for the service shut off,
tho contract is repudiated. We cannot
carry on tho service without compensa
tion." Postmaster Van Cott. when approached
on the matter, said:
"I am not here to. criticise Congress, but
I hope something can be done in this mat
ter. I suppose we will be forced to send
the mail from this office to the up-town
stations by tho Third Avenue Railway, as
formerly. It only takes seven minutes
to get a letter to Station H at present
where It will take an hour If the service
is discontinued."

In need. The local Weather Bureau gives
the rainfall for the past Zi hours as 4.05,
the heaviest on record. It was believed
that the worst of the overflow was at an
end until the Government bureau posted
the following bulletin today:
"Excessive rains throughout the Brazos
drainage basin will probably cause de
cided rise in Brazos River, overflowing
much low land from McLennan County
to the Gulf during the ,ncxt 10 days.
Please -warn residents along the river."
Much anxiety Is felt now over the
Brazos overflow, and runners have "been
sent to notify the farmers In the low
lands. The flood yesterday was not alone
confined to this county. Temple and Bel
ton, JO miles south, reported 'vast 'dam

cwrcutis irom ueuon say:
"Not since 1S52 has this city and vicin
ity been visited by such a downpour of
rain as fell here during the past two days.
The Saldldo River broke all previous high
water marks, and destroyed the fine iron
wagon bridge at this place. At Summers
vllle the schoolhouse was carried away
and the dam washed out. The large steel
bridge at Little River, on the main lln

GRIDIRON CLUB FROLIC.
Held a Farce National Convention
nnd Presented Candidates.
WASHINGTON. April 2S. The Gridiron
Club had a National convention tonight,
and tho Washington correspondents com
posing that organization scored a "beat"
on the parties which will nominate can
didates for the Presidency.
"What kind of a convention is this?"
asked a member of tho club. "A conven
tion of the Philadelphia plan," was the
reply. "The delegates have nothing to
do but to furnish the enthusiasm."
This seemed, however, to be perfectly
satisfactory, for then there appeared the
Gridiron Club, carrying red. white and
blue campaign umbrellas and wearing
linen dusters. After repeating, like a
college 'yell, the fact that they were
friends of McKlnley. tho club marched
out and immediately appeared shouting
with equal enthusiasm for Bryan. Tho
"marching club" was preceded by two
musicians playing a fife and a drum In
true campaign style.
The latest member of the club. Henry G.
Kemp, of the Baltimore Sun, was Intro
duced as the club's hero, and entered
wearing -an Admiral's uniform. After he
had been presented a wreath, a sword
and other trifles, he mounted a platform,
returned his thanks, accepted the nomi
nation and declared himself the people's
candidate. At that moment his platform
collapsed and the choir sang, with lugub
rious voice. "There's a Hole in the Bot
tom of the Sea."
The Idea of a. convention was-carried out

CANDIDATES FOR HAWAII.
Four Men "Want to Be Governor,
President Dole Lending.
WASHINGTON, April IS. In anticipa
tion of .the final enactment of the Ha
waiian Government bill, the President is
devoting some attention to the selection
of the various officials of the new gov
ernment who are subject to Executive
appointment. It is the intention to make
these appointments very soon, in order
that there may bo no delay In the inau
guration of the new government, and to
secure speedy relief from the embarrass
ments of the present anomalous condition
of affairs.
For the Governorship there are no less
than four candidates in the field. -The
name of President Dole heads tho list;
Harold Sowall, late Minister at Honolulu,
and now United States Agent in the
Islands, is making a formidable canvass,
backed by the Maine delegation, and there
aro two persons of Hawaiian birth," prom
inent in the affairs of tho island, whose
names also are under consideration.
There Is ground for the belief that, of all
these candidates. President Dole Is looked
upon most favorably, the President In
clining to the view that, by mak
ing such an appointment, he will
not only recognizo the principle
of homo rule, but also would
make miltablo recognition of the long
continued and effective efforts of Sanford
B. Dole to securo the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands to the United States.
BETTER PROTECTION NEEDED
Demand of Minister Conger on the
Chinese Authorities.
NEW YORK. AprlTk A special to tho
Herald from Washington says: Minister
Conger has Informed the State Depart
ment that-he Is making renewed demands
upon "the Tsung-11-Yamen for protection
'to" Americans' In China. The department's
advices are to the effect that the hostility
of the Chinese to the missionaries has
now extended to all foreigners, and Min
ister Conger's, latest representations deal
with the protection of American sales
men who are traveling in the empire.
Commander Burwell. commanding the
gunboat Wheeling, which is at Taku. has
reported her presence there to Minister
Conger, and will co-operate with the lat
ter in protecting American interests. It
Is the expectation of Administration of
ficials that Rear-Admiral Remey will
place a sufficient force under Rear-Admiral
Kempffs command adequately to
protect American Interests In China. Ad
miral Kempff will probably be charged
with matters relating to American Inter
ests In Asia, while Admlrar" Remey will
devote hie attention more especially to
tho Philippines.
It Is the belief of the officials that Rear
Admlral Kempff will proceed with his
flagship to Chinese waters, and tne pres
ence of a flag officer and several American
vessels at Taku will undoubtedly have
a good effect upon the Tsung-11-Yamen.

THE PORTE "WILL PAY.
No Attempt to Deny the Obligation,
Sayx the Minister.
WASHINGTON. April 2S- Terrouh Bey,
the Turkish Minister, called at the State
Department this afternoon and spent half
an hour In conversation with Secretary
Hay. Beyond tho statement that the In
demnity claims were the subject of dis
cussion, nothing official could be learned
of what took place between the two. It
is gathered that the Turkish effort is still
in tho direction of finding some other
means of escape from the present situa
tion than a cash settlement. Thus there
is believed to be more talk of the old prop
osition to build a Turkish cruiser here
and settle the claims under cover of such
a transaction, but whatever the character
of the details of tho Turkish proposition,
it appears that there is no attempt to
deny that the obligation assumed toward
these claimants and embodied In the prom
ises to Mr. Straus, and consequently ther0
has been no refusal to pay the" debt in
some manner.
Tho men then ran and notified the police,
who went to tho scene and captured the
man just as he came from behind a tree,
where he had been hiding. He gives as a
reason for taking to the highway that he
wanted to gei money enough to follow to

had nuarrtled.

TOBACCO PACKAGES TOO BIG

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S. Revenue
Agent Burt M. Thomas made another
seizure of. tobacco in this city today,
amounting to 700 pounds, done up In 2H
ounce packages, and weighing up to three
ounces. The tobacco was of the same
brand and from the same factory at Mount
Airy. N. C. as the lot of 1000 pounds seized
a few days ago.
Agent Thomas has found that the to
bacco has been sent in overweight pack
ages to every town on the Pacific Coast,
and under authority of the Secretary of
the Treasury he has telegraphed to all
revenue officers to seize Che tobacco wher
ever found. In compliance with this order,
1000 pounds of the same firm's output was
seized today in Fresno and Los Angeles.
