v H !I THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND', MAY 6, 1900.' ROOT'S MONROEISM The War Secretary's Speech Causes European Comment. POSSIBLE TROUBLE WITH GERMANY Speculation as to the Result of a. Conflict Betwen the Tiro Nations The Week: la London. LONDON. May 5. Hopelessly, but In terestingly, intermingled with, the count less war questions are matters of Ameri can Internal and external policy. These are receiving a meed of notice that de lights the heart of him who fears that the United States is not a factor In the affairs of Europe. The visit of the Boer delegates Is perhaps more responsible for this phase than any other factor, but Sec retary Root's declaration for an aggres sive Monroe doctrine comes In for a large share of comment The absence of any developments In the American controversy with Turkey has resulted In that matter being banished from the serious probabilities, and no Idea Is entertained in England that It will re stilt seriously. Regarding the Boer delegates, the Spec tator and the Outlook voice current Eng lish opinion, the former saying that there Is no fear that the Americans will be taken in, more especially as It is very doubtful whether the delegates have any power to bind either President Kruger or the Volksraad. Secretary Root's Monroeism utterances are dealt with in a long article In the Spectator, which maintains that "the War Secretary's explanation that he was speak ing academically must be taken Into ac count, and that he deserves praise for speaking as frankly as he did." The ar ticle continues: "The American who takes the trouble to look the facts in the face cannot fat to see that the doctrine cannot be sup ported on tall talk. America must not imagine that If she ever gets in a serious controversy with a great Continental pow er she will be treated as Lord Salisbury, with the full consent of the nation, treat ed her. Here we should dread a victory over America, supposing we were able to obtain it. only one degree less than de feat. But it is idle to suppose that the Continental powers Germany, for example would take such things into considera tion. Granted she wanted to Infringe upon the Monroe doctrine, Germany" would simply consider whether America had physical power to maintain it. If she had not, America's historical claims would not be held to be worth a straw." The Spectator then goes on to say that no power would dream of invading Amer ica but Germany. The paper adds: "For example, the latter country might get into a dispute with Brazil and pre pare to occupy its territory. If America should -wish to enforce the Monroe doc trine! she must be able to destroy the German fleet. Her present officers and men are as good as possible. They have superiors nowhere, and equals only In the sister navy of Great Britain. But there are too few of them." Regarding the strength, of her forces. tne paper says: "Clearly, if while Germany Is building ships, America is doing little or nothing, Amerca will not be in a position to fetter Germany's will or to tell her that she shall not make what terms she likes with the South American powers." The debate on the publication of Splon fcop dispatches, which has redeemed an uninteresting week in Parliament from hopeless lnnocuousness, has only revealed the government's utter lack of tact. "With no serious case to face and with the army regulations to Justify their action, they .appealed through Mr. Balfour to senti ment and based their plea -on the duty of the Conservatives to protect Lord Lans downe's personal honor. By eo doing, though naturally they carried the day, they damaged a case that even partial observers considered open to various con structions and added fuel to the feud be tween Buller and Roberts, that both w 1th the public and in the service threatens to rival the Sampson-Schley controversy. The fact that the Bank of England Is eparontly unwilling to advance New York exchange, which Is leading many Amer ican banks to ehlp their gold for the ben efit Of their American customers at the Exposition, Is made the subject of a strik ing protest in many of the financial pa pers this week. Not only that, but the financial experts now recognize the fact that whatever the United States has been In the past, she ia now a gold-lending country, and, as a leading article In the Statist points out, has financed Germany fcr more than a year and is employing her balances apparently now all over Eu rope. "With the stringency in gold in Europe, Great Britain Is exceedingly anx ious to cultivate the American eagle, and if Prance proves a greater attraction for American surplus "wealth, the matter is likely to prove serious Indeed. "Without extraordinary supplies from some direction," says the Statist, "It is only too likely that the second half of 1K will be uncomfortable in Germany." That the United States has gold enough to supply all the needs of Eu rope there Is no question. Were the Bank of England willing to gie facilities for gold Imports at a profit, the Statist thinks .London and not Parts might yet secure thla coveted American eagle. This has been a week of dinners end speeches, the latter quite Inferior to the former. So long had Ireland been monopolizing gaiety that Lon don had almost forgotten how to celebrate and was threatened with a period of de pression under the cloud of war and mourning. But, now that the royalties and their suites have trooped back across the Irish Channel, many with just a tinge of brogue, seml-polltlcal and pri vate dinners have made tho nights of the metropolis gay, while the racing at Newmarket scarcely ever before drew a more fashionable attendance. The victor of the Prince of Wales, whose horse. Diamond Jubilee, won the 2000 guinea stakes Wednesday, added to the enthusiasm, and the great race course became the promenade for the most aristocratic personages In the coun try, who chatted, bet, lunched and cheered Just as heartily as though there was no death struggle being waged on the plains of South Africa, Among those at Newmarket were the Prince cf Wales, the King of Sweden. Prince Christian of Schleswlg-Holstein. the Duke of Cam bridge, the Duke and Duchess of Devon shire, Lord and Lady Howe, Lord and Lady Rothschild, and almost all the lead ing members of the nobility, and, In ad dition a sprinkling of Americans, which included Richard Croker and Reginald Ward, the latter being the guest of Lord and Lady Howe. Though late In beginning, the season promises to be brilliant, unless unexpect ed war reverses knock out the hearts of the people. The first drawing-room will be held May 1L at which the Queen will be present, and will be brilliantly attend ed. The second drawing-room, set down for May 11. wlji coincide with the first night of the opera, and will doubtless be a great society occasion. The Prince of Wales and a long list of royalties and other prominent personages have re-engaged their usual boxes, which ensures a good operatic season. The Queen's birthday. May 24, In addi tion to being marked by unusual publlo rejoicing, will be made the occasion for a great National bazaar for the army so cieties, which will be patronized by all the members of the royal family. Of the recent dinners, none was more striking than the banquet given at the Hotel Cecil, Monday evening last, by the British Empire League in honor of the Colonial troops In South Africa, and of the Australian Federation delegates, when the Prince of. Wales made-his first public appearance after the attempt to assas sinate him. As he rose to reply to a toast, he received a tremendous ovation. He was unusually pale, and 'the nervous tone in which he said, "We are all In the hands of God," betrayed the Intense emotion he was undergoing. But, as the gorgeous banquet proceeded, Great Britain's future King regained that geniality for which he is distinguished, and mirthful laugh ter prevailed at the royal table. His Royal Hlrhness also, on this occa sion. Inaugurated a custom which may be come popular at large public dinners where the guests are so numerous that they can scarcely recognize each other. With his coffee and cigars the Prince's special attendant brought him a huge pair of field glasses, with which he carefully scrutinized the long tables and the galaxy of bejeweled women who filled the bal conies In order to hear the speeches. Prince Katohlto, of Japan, Is having a busy time In London, combining an In spection of rapid-fire and other gun works and various military researches, with vis Its to the Queen, the Prince of Wales and Lord Salisbury. Prince Katohlto U a cousin of the Emperor of Japan, who adopted him. He is now a cavalry Col onel in tho Japanese Army, having re ceived his education In France. The Prince will leave London May S, and will visit the principal European courts, ap parently with the semi-official purpose of strengthening the cordiality between the Mikado and the European sovereigns. Many preparations are on foot for tho yachting season, which, though It may not be productive of particularly good rac ing, will none the less be patronized by those who make yachting an amusement rather than a sport. The steam yacht White Ladye, formerly owned by Mrs. Langtry, Is fitted out sumptuously for the reception of Lawson Johnston and his bride, nee Dunlap, of New York, who will take an extended cruise. The famous Herreshoff-bullt cutter Isolde, which was recently sold at auctlpn In London, brought tho low figure of 230. Ono of the most notable sales of works of art in London began May 3, when the collection of the late Mra Bloomfield Moore, of Philadelphia, was sold at auction. A pair of Sevres vases, which once belonged to Mme. de Pompa dour, brought 1122, while a rosewater ewer realized no less than 2362. The decisions of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, made public May 1, on the subject of the reservation of the sacrament. In which they said they were obliged to decide that the Church of England did not allow res ervation In any form, and that those be lieving it ought to be permitted, while Justified in endeavoring to get the law altered, were not Justified. In practicing reservation until the law was changed, has created wide spread speculation among the laity and clergy regarding the outcome. The ex treme ritualists have always demurred against civil authority, but the conten tions are now under the ban of the high est episcopate which they swore to obey when ordained. Yet it does not appear that they are more -willing to give up their practices than before. As the Dally Graphic, which is a churchman's paper, says, "It, needs no gift of prophecy to foretell that the Church of England cannot continue as an organ ized body if any large section of the clergy follow the advice of tho extreme ritualists. If the high church clergy claim to bo a law unto themselves they must either leave the church or shatter It" Many churchmen and conservative pa pers not engaged In the controversy are seriously considering the question of dis establishment, a remedy hitherto so re pugnant to them that they would scarcely discuss 1L The Government of Great Britain this week sent two men to the deadliest spot on earth, with instructions to stay there all Summer and see if they can keep them selves olive. If they return the most fatal disease next to consumption will be at the mercy of science. The men who risk their lives are Dr. Sambon and Dr. Lowe, of the School of Tropical Medicine, attached to tho Colonial Office. The disease they aro going to Investigate Is malarial fever, which kills more people annually than cholera, bubonic plague or any other scourge save consumption. Tho moat deadly spot selected is the Roman Campagna, where no man can stay on a Summer night without contracting .malaria. Many doctors declare mosquitoes responsible for spreading the malarial In fection. The British Government wants to prove It; hence this daring experiment by two volunteers. They have built a mosquito-proof house, and will stay in It during the hours when malaria-bearing mosquitoes are about. Most of the theaters are doing remark ably welL The fashionable successes of the day are the -comedy "Kitty Gray," at the Vaudeville, with Ellis Jeffreys and Miriam Clements in the cast, and Carlton's new comedy. "Lady Huntworth's Experiment," at the Criterion. In which Miss Compton again achieves great success, and Gertrude Elliott, In a minor part, also continues to win the applause of the English critics. These two plays, with tho Gaiety and Daly's, are absorbing most of the fashion able patronage; but the Garrick. with "Zaza," and a number of other nouses are crowded nightly. Three lady managers are about to enter tho .field, of theatrical enterprise. Marie Tempest will forsake musical for serious comedy, and appear as Nell Gwynne In Anthony Hope's and Edward Rose's adap tation of Hope's novel, "Simon Dale," Ju lia Neilson will also present Kester's play, dealing with the adventures of the same actress, when Harrison and Maude vacate the Haymarket for the Summer holidays, and Jeannette Steer is to open the Comedy Theater with a play by Charles Brook field. GALE IN NEBRASKA. Mnch Destruction Caused at Wilson ville. OMAHA, May 5. A special to the Bee from Wllsonvllle. Neb., gives the most meager details of a terrlffic gale, accom panied by heavy rain and hail, that swept that section this evening. Much destruc tion is known to have resulted, but how much cannot be told until daylight comes to aid the searchers. In the north part of the town one house was blown down, the occupants escaping. A Presbyterian Church was destroyed, and many barns and outbuildings demolished. In the country along the path of the storm, ruin Is widespread. Several farm houses were blown to pieces, and a num ber of people Injured. So far as is known no one was killed. Popnlint Ltivr Unconstitutional. TOPEKA, Kan.. May E.

YALE-BERKELEY GAMES RESULTED EC VICTORY FOR THE XEW HAVEN TEAM. Californlans Toole Three Events ana Tied in Another National Leagne Scores Running Races. NEW HAVEN, Cong., May 5. The dual track athletic meet between Yale and the University or California today re sulted In a well-earned victory for Yale, with eight firsts and one tie to her credit The visitors took three events and fed in another. Technically, the score would bo written SJ4 to 3. The Yale track ath letes proved stronger than even the best informed had believed. The Californlans put up a game fight to the finish in every event, except the half-mile. In which their man. Service, was run off his feet and loped to the tape with Smith, of Yale, a good E0 yards ahead of him. Pynter, of Yale, had given our earlier, having set a clip for the others that wore him out. Yale won the 220-yard dash, the 410-yard dash, the half-nille, the mile, the 120 yard hurdle, the 220-yard hurdle, the shot put, the pole vault and tied In the broad Jump. California took the 100-yard dash, the hammer throw, the high Jump and tied In the broad Jump. In the latter a surprisingly low record, even for the Yale Jumpers, was made. Considering the strong head wind that buffeted the run ners and the rather unfavorable cold air, both teams did well In the eprinting events. If anything, the cold favored Yale, for her men were used to It In the 220-yard dash, a little Incident oc curred that was Indicative of the sports manlike attitude of tho Californlans and of the friendly feeling existing between the two universities. Boardman was nervous on his mark and got a false start The starter called him back to penalize him a yard. Cadogan, the Callfornlan, declined to take this advantage, and Boardman was permitted to start on the scratch. Plaw came so close to breaking his own record in the hammer-throw that it was universally regretted that he fouled by stepping outside tho circle when he tossed the hammer 152 feet y actual measure ment A moment later Clark, of Yale, committed the same technical offense on a good but not so distant throw, and had to bo content with a rather low record. Stlllman, who had been counted as a pos sible close adversary for Plaw, disap pointed all by doing very poor work, ow ing to nervousness. The visitors did not, it is felt, do them selves tho full Justice that would have been possible on a warm day. The same Is true t Yale, however. Tho opinion was exp.-essed by competent Judges, tho Californlans themselves; that Yale's team would have won out though not by so large a score. To Yale the encouraging reaturo was the work of Weston, the freshman, in tho distance running, and of Thomas, in tho hurdles, high and low. Tho summary of events Is as follows: 100-yard dash Cadogan, California, first: Richards, Yale, second; time, 0:10 3-5. 120-yard hurdle Thomas, Yale, first; Hamlin, California, second; time, 0:16 4-5.

NEW YORK, May 5. Ethelbert, of t&e Perry Belmont stables, with Danny Mahcr up. won the Metropolitan handicap at Morris Park today, before 20,000 people. Ho was favorite In the betting, and won by three lengths. Box taking second place by a neck from Imp. There was never a greater crowd at the Metropolitan handi cap than today. A year ago Ethelbert was beaten for the Metropolitan by Flll grane, when It was thought he had a rare chance to win, but today, when his owner and his trainer thought he was not up to the race, he galloped homo with a good bit to spare, making the other horses look like selling-platers, followed In by the uncertain Box, while the great mare Imp finished third. The great crowd cheered the horses en thusiastically as they marched to the post. Starter Fitzgerald got them In line at once, and they were sent away In per fect line on the first break There was no delay to affect the top weights, so all had an equal chance. Half Time broke In front, with Ethelbert close behind. Box third and Ilderim fourth. As the horses settled Into their strides, Spencer sent Voter to the front and ho was running, free In that position as they went past" the first furlong pole. He had but a head the better of Contestor, the lightweight and the much-played Waring was third. Maher had taken Ethelbert hack Into sixth place, and was holding him in good position for the finish. At the quarter, pole there was no change In position. Voter and Contestor running heads apart a length in front of the others, who were well bunched behind them. As they pre pared to round Into the new track. Voter began to open up a gap, and, as they rushed around the turn into the homa stretch. It looked as if it would be Voter first and the others far behind. Suddenly Maher seemed to wake up on Ethelbert and as the flying horses rounded the turn Maher came flashing around on the out side, and In the flashing of an eye Ethel bert had poked his nose in front of the whole band and. gradually increased his distance. It was a grand race for six furlongs, and then a procession, with the crack 3-year-old of 1S99 leading it. The w eather was fine. The results were: Five and a half furlongs Hellobas won, Bello of Lexington second, Montanlc third; time, 1:08. Seven furlongs Hesper won. Buffoon second. Her Ladyship third; time, 1:29.

Interment of Victims of the Scoaeld Disaster. SALT LAKE, Utah, May B A special to the Herald from Scofield, Utah, says: A volume of agonizing scenes and inci dents attended the burial of the 109 vic tims of tho mine disaster today. The wholesale burial has gone on all day. The bodies were taken to the cemetery by trains of wagons, and a man stood at the gate and checked from a long list thtf names of the bodies In the caskets that were taken in. The graves' were all kept open until after the services had been performed over them, and the actual work of covering them up did not begin until after 4 o'clock. The Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows administered their rites In the forenoon over a few members buried in different parts of the cemetery. In the afternoon the main services were held. When the train from Salt Lake ar rived, bringing the L O. O. F. grand offi cers, a procession was formed at the depot The Odd Fellows led, 50 or 75 strong, and as the cemetery gates were entered they divided Into two lines, allow ing the Knights to pass between them and perform their ceremony first. In the cen ter of a group of 35 graves stood Grand Prelate G. R. Stoney and Rev. W. Daunt Scott while the crowd of mourners en circled the "acre of graves. The impres sive prayers concluded, the Pythians came forward and cast evergreens Into the graves, and then made way for the L O. O. F. While the lodges were officiating, the Mormon church representatives were dedicating the graves of their dead. Fifty more bodies are yet to be burled. Five additional bodies were brought out of No. 4 mine this morning. They are: Richard T. Reese. Alfred Warile, L. KIl enclo, J. Lundgren and Clyde Law. The bodies were horribly mutilated and burned so that identification was difficult. The bodies of Thomas Padfleld, Ed Street, J. C. Hunter and John Pitman are still In the mine. These, with the unidentified Finns. taken out brings the total up to exactly 250. No others are known to be missing, and It Is believed that all the men have now been accounted for. In Tesponse to many inquiries from citi zens of the United States, and from numerous firms and corporations outside of Utah, addressed to the Governor and other citizens of Utah, making generous proffers of financial assistance for the stricken families of the victims of the disaster. Governor Wells will issue an ad dress stating that In view of the ap palling magnitude of the mortality, and the ery large number of dependent wom en and children requiring care and sus tenance, contributions will be most grate fully received from kindly disposed and sympathetic people everywhere. All sub scriptions should be sent to Hon. James T. Hammond, Secretary of State and chair man of the central relief fund, who Is authorized to attend to the equitable dis tribution of the funds to the sufferers. In addition to the donations to the fund, the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company has subscribed "5C0Q. and the Rio Grande West ern Railway Company 520,000. These two subscriptions come rom New York to the superintendent of the Pleasant Valley Coal Company. So many housewives suffer from nervous depression due to catarrhal weakness pe culiar to their sex. and suffer on jear after year, not knowing what their ailment Is. Mrs. Mary Cook, of PIttsford. N. Y.. suffered for six years before she learned of Peruna. Mra. Cook recently wrote tho following- letter to Dr. Hartman: "I -was not -well for six years, paid many doctor hills, hut never im proved very much. I save up hopes of ever recovering. "Finally, I wrote to Dr. Hartman, and I am thankful to say that I am now well, through his good advice and medicine. I am gaining In flesh and feel young again. I was very emaciated, but now my own cjhlldren are surprised In the great change In me when they visit me." HOW CARTER MAY FARE FIGHT BETWEEN DALY' AND CLARK MAY CRUSH HIM. Possibly He May Urge Both of Them as a Reason Xov Redemption of the State to Decency. WASHINGTON, May 2. A. good deal of Interest attaches to the effect the action of the Senate committee on the Clark case will have upon the political fortunes of Senator Carter, of Montana. Carter ha3 becomo a very prominent figure in the Senate since he has been here, and his position on committees is superior to that of any other Senator of equal length of service. Of course It Is realized that Carter represents -a state-which has large ly gone over to the silver men, owing to the great amount of silver produced from tho mines. More than that, for years everybody In the state was for free silver, and It Is pretty hard, to turn a state the other way. Yet the friends of Carter bellevo that on jl straight election he could win on account of the settlement of tho silver question, and the common sense of the people who Inhabit the state, who do not believe In the wild fantastic Ideas of Bryan, and who do not want to see the state turned over to Populism. But now a different situation arises. Clark: will no doubt seek, vindication. Tho Daly gang has determined not only to de feat Clark In his attempt at tho vindica tion, but It also has determined to elect two United States Senators which It can control. There was considerable truth in some of tho testimony which .was given by the Clark people, to the effect that a struggle was In progress to wrest the state from tho control of Daly. That fight must continue. It Is evident that tho Daly men intend to couple Carter's name with Clark as far as possible. The talk of the Daly representatives here Is to the effect that Carter has not done all he should, or, to put it In other words, "Carter has acted kind of queer." This means that Carter has not taken occasion to abuse Clark In every way, and has not assisted In tho fight any more than to present the memorial charging corruption In tho caso of Clark's election. It is feared by Republicans here that Carter may be crushed in the llfe-and-death struggle which the Clark and Daly factions will make in Montana, especially as the un limited use of money will no doubt con tinue. There Is a possibility, however, that Carter can get out and make a fight for his election, appealing to the people of Montana to repudiate both the Clark and Daly factions, elect a Republican Legisla ture, and get back to common honesty and decency In politics. Bryanltes "Want Instructed. Delegates The mysterious movements of the Demo crats In Ohio, New York, Maryland and soma of the other Eastern states Is giv ing the Bryanites a great deal of concern. The belief is openly expressed that John R. McLean Intends to manipulate the Ohio convention so as to throw that delegation to Dewey, in case It would defeat Bryan or nominate Dewey. Of course, a great deal of credence is given to this story, because Dewey Is a brother-in-law of Mc Lean, and the belief Is general that Mc Lean would be the power behind the throne If Dewey should ever happen to get into the White House. . In New York there is great consterna tion among the Bryanites because of tho active Interest which David B. Hill Is said to be taking In politics. Hill Is one of 'the unfathomable men to tho Democratic party, especially to that silver wing which once, supported him as against Cleveland, but which Is deadly opposed to him be cause of his action at the Chicago con vention, when he opposed the Popullstic platform, and would not allow New York to participate In tho campaign. There has been some intimation that Hill Is In favor of Bryan now, and this makes the Bryanlte3 somewhat scared. The fact that efforts are being made In several states to prevent Instructed delegates has caused some anxiety among the Bryan men. Of course, it is known that if Gorman does not want Instructions for Maryland It will not be given, and if Croker, Hill and Murphy unite in New York, the same will be true of that state. It Is yet doubtful whether McLean can prevent an instruct ed delegation from Ohio, but the belief Is general that the machine in his hand will be ablo to do so. "Will Croker Abdicate? Report is current In the East that Dick Croker, long a political boss in New York, will renounce his allegiance to the United States and become an English subject. Nobody believes this to be true, although Croker may abandon New York politics.

Croker has spent much of hi3 time abroad during the past few years, and although he has been ablo to direct the destinies of the Democratic par ty from New York, ha has not found It necessary to be present on all occasions.
