NEJW TORS, Aug. 18. The Evening: "World today prints an article rela tive to the news received from "Washing ton yesterday of the detention at the barsre office In this city, by Secret Serv ice agents, of 2otabe Maresca and Michil "Welds, supposed anarchlsta who arrived yesterday on the steamer Kaiser Wllhelm 3L. These tiro men are understood to have come to this country as conspirators "whose object. It Is alleged, -was the as sassination of President McKlnley. The Evening World says: "Instead of two. a high Gov ernment official Informed the Ev ening "World that there are 14 an archists Tinder arrest at the detention prison of the 3ureau of Immigration. They are all charged with being In a conspiracy to assassinate President McKlnley, and nave been taken singly and In pairs from incoming ocean liners within the last 10 days. "United States Secret Service agents learned that an anarchist circle In Naples ftnri cast lots to determine who should be the assassin. Eleven Italians and three Austrian were selected. Closely followed, they sailed from different ports. Their object was to strike Individual blows at the President at the same time. That would make success sure. "As fast as the men arrived, Secret Serv ice agents, disguised as emigrants, went among them and they were arrested, Mer esca and Welda, caught yesterday, were two cf the 14. The conspiracy was made one night early In August. By working with the Italian police the Secret Service agents got wind of a great meeting of the circle In Naples. The men selected for the work In this country were quick ly notified what they were to do. They separated, going singly or in pairs to dif ferent ports in Europe. Some went to Prance, others to Germany, while still others crossed the Channel to England. Step by step they were followed to the gangplank of steamers. "The 14 are now detained by the emigra tion authorities and are either at the barge office at the Battery or the de tention quarters at quarantine. ""One report Is to the effect that some ere in Ludlow-Street Jail, having been taken there frcm Ellis Island, In order to thwart any attempt to rescue them by Patereon anarchists." So far as known, according to the Even ing "World, the plan was for each man to proceed to "Washington on a certain day. They were to surround the Presi dent and await an opportunity to strike. The "blow was to bo by pistol and knife. One of the number, It was certain, would be successful. The question of escape was not considered, the men being willing to sacrifice their lives for their principles. The two men who did not meet their fellow-anarchists were Maresca and "Welda. Chief "Wllkle, of the Secret Service Di vision of the Treasury Department, had hlB agents at the pier when the steamer docked. The two men did not come In the steerage as did the others. Maresca came as a steward In the steerage and "Welda as a coalpasser. They could have landed without going through the formalities of the barge office. When Maresca boarded the Kaiser "WU helm H at Naples, August 7, a Secret Service agent was close on his heels. Maresca professed to have no money and mado application to bo taken as cook. Polling in that, he asked for a steward ship. There was a vacancy in the steer age cabin and he secured that. It" was not known that he had a companion. He and Welda did not come aboard to gether. As far as is known, no one saw "Welda come aboard, and he was not dis covered until six hours after the vessel sailed. When found he was secreted as a stowaway. He was put to work In the hold with the coalpasscrs and kept busy until the boat reached quarantine. The Kaiser "Wllhelm touched Gibraltar August C, and then sailed for New York. It is not known that either of the men aw the other during the 11 days of the run. Wednesday morning the steamer waB boarded at quarantine by Secret Service men, who asked to see the steerage and cabin lists and the ship's roster. First Officer LanB took the detectives forward where they could see the' crew. Purser Meyer remembered recording the same of Maresca at Naples and Maresca was Identified bj Meyer when- the former was brought out for Identification. Ma resca professed to be unable to under stand English. After looking Maresca over, "W. P. Hazen. in charge of the Se cret Service Bureau of this city, said: "I think that Is the man." Maresca was sont below when the ship was docked. "When the liner tied up at her pier, Maresca was informed that he was under detention. He was asked where his baggage was and replied In Italian: "Welda has It." This was a new lead, and Welda wis summoned from his work at the furnace and questioned. He professed not to understand English, but admitted that he had trunks on board Chief Wilkie is quoted as saying: "The two men are not arrested. They are sim ply detained at quarantine. They will be deported when the Kilser Wllhelm goes back to Europe. It Is true that on August first this Government was advised from Naples that Maresca had left Italy for the United States with the purpose of attacking the President. It was said that tae man Is i most undesirable im migrant. I may have a more Interesting story to tell later." Chief Hszen was Interviewed at his office In the Federal building today. He refused to give the technical charge on which Maresca and Welda are detained. He further said that Maresca Is a typical anarchist. A number of papers In Italian were found on the two men. and have been turned over to Commissioner Fltchle. No weapons were found on either of the men. Chief Hazen. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Taylor. Dr. Uller and Commis sioner Fltchle held a conference at noon. When It was finished the three refused to discuss the matter In any phase. Chief Hazen said he had nothing to do with it now, but that It was entirely in the hands of the Immigration authorities. Gulsseppe Costa, supposed to be one of the anarchists, who Is detained on the Narragansett. Jumped from that ship last night and remained in the water until morning. At daybreak, thoroughly ex hausted, he went ashore on Bedloe's Island and was found naked and uncon scious by a captain of an excursion boat. Costa slid he had come over as a stow away on the Gallica. He was detained at the barge office. Local Becret service agents tonight said that advices had been received from the Italian Government to tha effect that Maresca and Welda are wanted bs- the Naples authorities in Italy. It Is under stood here that they are charged with compUcity""!n the recent plot to assassi nate King Humbert. All of the Americas men unite In denying that any of the for eign Italians detained are accused of plot ting against the life of President Mc Klnley. It is understood that 12 men will be sent back to Europe at once on the ground that they are undesirable Immi grants. The two men, Maresca and Welda. will be placed under arrest and neld until the arrival of the Naples au thorities, when arrangements will be made for their extradition. Guarding: the President. NEW TORK. Aug IS. The safeguarding of the life of President McKlnley from anarchists, or the more feared class, cranks, is divided equally between the United States Secret Eerrtco and the lo cal police department, says & special to the World from Washington. To reach the President while In Washington, one must be known or have trustworthy cre dentials, and even then every "visitor ia under constant surveillance and a. menac ing move would cause Instant arrest by some of the attaches at the "White House or the Secret Service men or local de tectives constantly on guard at the Ex ecutive Mansion. George E. Foster, one of the most trust worthy men In the Secret Service, is charged with guarding the life of Presi dent McKlnley at all times when he is not In the White House. Foster travels on the same car, stands on the steps when the President appears, and Is always on guard at the door of the car. Charles Tharon, a Swede, who Is knewn as "Frenchy" to the White House em ployes, acts as the President's valet on all his trips, and is also in the Secret Serv ice. He is virtually the President's body guard. His wife Is Mrs. McKlnley's maid. The two mount guard over the President and Mrs. McKlnley when they take a trip to a strange place, and it Is their duty to see that no one reaches the pri- OUR "COPPERHEADS" OF TODAY. Testimony From Luzon Against the Bryan-Agulnn'do Combine. " Chicago Inter Ocean. "W. J. Bryan said In his Indianapolis speech: "The Republican party today is responsible for every drop of blood drawn from an American soldier In the Philippine Islands or drawn by an Ameri can soldier." That Is the assertion of the man safer in the rear. What do the men on the flringr line Bay? , Major Arlington U. Betts, writing' on July 1 from Tabaco, Luzon, to Henry Tracy, of Toledo, O., says that if he and every other soldier could be at home in November, they would vote for "that party which was not afraid to accept a responsibility," because they know that ballots for McKlnley and Roosevelt "would do more to put down this rebellion than Krag bullets." Major Betts Incloses a rebel circular that has been posted at Ta baco. This circular gives the result of a straw ballot taken by a Massachusetts copper-head Journal to prove that the American peo ple stand two to one In favor of Tagal independence. It recites "that at great meetings and banquets in New York and Chicago, Agulnaldo was entitled one of the world's true heroes." It adds that "the great Democrat, Dr. Bryan, is assured that he will be President, and then our happy hours begin." Its concluding threat, that the Filipinos who favor American rule "are only raising their own scaffold," indi cates the chief joys of the "happy hours" expected from Mr. Bryan's policy. Tabaco is In the extreme southeast of Luzon, Is a thriving hemp port, and has about 20,000 inhabitants. "At the breaking out of the war," writes Major Betts, "the people voted not to defend the city against the Americans. Early In the year the Tagals came down, and on the strength of this circular raised 5000 men. To leave here now would mean the death of every Filipino .who has dared to be friendly to the Americans. "If it waf not for the assistance this re bellion receives from the United States, it would quickly end. Every drop of blood, both American and Filipino, spilled here at Tabaco, can be laid to that circular, the foundation of which was taken from American newspapers. So much to the credit of our countrymen at home." Lieutenant Oliver P. Robinson, a Democrat, writes to a relative at Carbondale, 111.: "Many a poor boy owes his death to the clamor ing' politicians at home. If they (the Bryanites) would only close their mouths! It Is too bad that we aro made to suffer at the hands of our fellow-citizens." And the heroic Lawton wrote on the brink of his opening grave: 'If I am shot by a Filipino bullet, it might as well come from one of my own men, because I know that the continuance of fighting here is due to reports sent out from America." Such is the testimony of the men on the firing line, living and dead, against the Bryanlte fire from the rear. The assertion of the politician, touring the country in palace cars after votes, Is given the lie direct by the man risking his life In Luzon's jungles to uphold'' American rights on American soil. Which do the American people believe 1 Which speaks the penetrating truth, and which the shuf fling falsehood? vate apartments of the President and his wife. In addition to Foster and Tharon, there are several reliable detectives from the Secret Service always detailed to accom pany the President when he Is away from Washington. PROTECTING PRINCE OF WALES. Hoir He Is Onarded From Anarchist Attacks on the Continent. NEW TORK. Aug. 18. Precautions for the safety of the prince of Wales auring nia stay In Homberg, where he has arrived. Include the inauguration of a new system for tho protection of royalty from the at tacks of anarchists, says a London cable to the World. Under this system every member of a royal family traveling out of his own country has the services of a detective from each European bureau, whose special qualification is his Intimate acquaintance with dangerous anarchists. These foreign detectives, 14 in number, arrived at Homburg a week before, the Prince of Wales was expected. In order that a thorough preliminary Investigation might be made, and all necessary precau tions taken to Insure his safety. The Prince was also accompanied upon his ar rival by six special service men from Scotland Yard, who will guard him during his stay In Hombarg. Lord Salisbury who Is at Schluicht. has a comparatively small guard four Eng lish detectives and six from other Euro pean countries as the town is small and it is easy to keep track of suspects. The guard of the Emperor William of Germany has been doubled since King Humbert's assassination, and it is said that the guards have been warned that they will be held personally responsible if any preventable mishap occurs to the Kaiser. .Queen Victoria is also more carefully guarded than before the murder of Hum bert.

Remarks "by One ox the Race on the Present Status and Prospects for tho j Future. PORTLAND, Or., Aug. Ik (To the Edi ltor.) After long years of study and care ful consideration of .pasBlne events, and comparing one thing with another, my conclusion Is that what the negro has not won and cannot win by good be havior, strict application to business and obedience to tha law, he cannot win by force. There Is no ' armed force within the race that is strong enough to demand respect. Organization on peace terms, to respect the resistance that experience has taught us to expect, will do mora good toward bringing about harmony and working out the salvation of the race than any other power within the race. In the first place. It is too small in numbers, too weal? in its organization, education and means. Therefore the one alternative for the power within Itself to win respect is Its good behavior. The negro must winthe sympathy, re spect and love of those who stand high in the service of the people. If he had good judgment he would be the last man to go against the Government, for good government is his only hope. This re publican form of government, with its frequent elections, is so dependent upon public sentiment that it is hard for the interest of any people so easily distin guished from all others as the negro to escape discrimination, and his only hope Is public sentiment in favor of law and order, fair play to all, and Justice to all. It has been demonstrated to the su preme satisfaction of the leading minds of the race that Ignorance Is the worst enemy of the race, be It in white or black. The only cause for complaint in the disfranchisement Is that the door was not closed In the face of ignorance in gen eral, let It be In white ot black. Al though there Is much in the leaders of the South to be feared In this movement, there is room for doubt as to their sin cerity, as their history does not show them to be a fair people, even to their own poor and helpless whites. Their statutes are more Inclined to property rights than to human, rights. When any one reviews the political kfetory of the South, he must see the clique and Its purpose. Not only Is Its purpose to con trol the negro, but to clothe Itself with everlasting power and life In office. And this Is what the people must fear. Tk give the negro the full benefit of the law, and protection of the Government, can not mean harm or drawback to the whites. We all can appreciate the fact that the leadership of the South has a vote In Congress, and that is has' a pow erful influence, as well as unlimited wealth and resources behind it. Resources and money In the hands of a well-organized clique Is an impediment that the people will find hard to overcome. The cloud will darken the political history of this Nation for many generations yet unborn, as it is like a cancer on the tongue and brain of this Nation; its ef fect is slow but sure. Our Civil War was a surgical operation on this cancer, but we see now that the work was Imper fectly done. Tho Imperfection of the re construction of the South left some of the virus of this cancer, and It has been growing ever since, and now threatens the very life of this Republic; or, I might say, of Christian civilization. We can find it in all classes of Americans a dis regard for law. Little did the fathers of this Nation think, when they tolerated slavery, that It would be the cause 'of a war between their sons, costing $2,000,000, 000, and nearly 1,000,000 lives; and we who live today little dream what tho cost of tho disfranchisement of the negroes of the South will be to this Nation in tho future. To the outside world it may appear rea sonable but the "Civil War of 1851-65 is but an Illustration of what disfranchisement of tho negro must result in in the future. If the destiny of the poor and ignorant white man could be separated from that of the negro, then we might expect dif ferent results, but the more the effort to separate them the greater the evil and cost will be to this Nation. Class legislation -takes from the people and gives to the few; and so the disfran chisement of the negro will benefit a very Jew-the "clique." If the negro's life and property were safe In the South as they are in the State of Oregon, he would have nothing to make him regret his color. Of all the states, there Is the least discrimination in Oregon against the ne gro, and Its laws mean as much for him as for any other man. This state has ac cepted the Constitution of the United States, and its amendments. J. N. F. i WcIIinprton's Course In Maryland. WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. The course of Senator Wellington, of Maryland, in forsaking his party and turning on the party leaders with bitter vituperation has been hard to explain. So erratic and so frantic has become, the young Senator from Maryland that the people of his own state have come to disregard him al most entirely, and nobody seems to care whether he takes a hand In the cam-j palgn or not. It Is said by persons who are well acquainted with Wellington and his personal affairs that his opposition to McKlnley is not altogether -from con scientious motives, but largely because he thinks he can Injure the Republican party In Maryland, and thus throw cold water on McComas' leadership. The whole trouble seems to be that Wellington real izes his own lack of popularity, and fears that the junior Senator, who took his seat for the first time at the beginning of the recent session, will become the recognized lender of the Maryland Re publicans, and he hopes, by -a radical course, to deprive him of this distinction. Wellington's course is totally inconsist ent. He is a sound-money man, and has been heard to declare that Bryan would not be a safe man In whose hands to entrust the affairs of the Nation. Tet he does hope to see tho Republicans lose Maryland, even if if Is claimed that he would be glad to see that party carry the country at large. His grievance iaj entirely local, and seems to be almost entirely personally aimed at Senator Mc Comas. Tlinckeray'a Rellgrtous "Views. "Providence, which poor M. Impugns, is very tolerably kind to me. M. didn't seem to be aware that she had used such rebellious expressions when I took her to task. I asked her why the natural laws were to be Interrupted in my par ticular case? Did Heaven send the little boys out of the shop to knock you down and give you a hundred days of pain, and years of lameness? Was it specially concerned In punishing, chastising, trying, blessing, smashing, saving those Jews who were under the Tower of Siloam when it fell?

There have been many suggestions offered for tha rehabilitation of the Island of Cuba, but none perhaps have been so novel as that suggested by a Pittsburg brick manufac turer who recently returned from the Island. When asked if he thought it would be a wise step for the United States to annex; Cuba, he replied: "Yes, If the island could be sunk for about half an hour. The island itself," he continued,. "Is capable of being made the garden spot of the world. If every living thing could be removed from the Island and the land purified by fire and water, then resettled by Americans, It would bo an earthly paradise. We don't want it, though, if we have to take the present Incumbents along with It. My honest belief Is that the average native Cuban Is about the meanest human creat ure " that ever walked the face of the earth. There are exceptions, of course. Finer people than some of the better class of Cubans are not to be found, but they are hopelessly In the minority. The average native is lying, lazy, treacherous and ungrateful, and only prevented from lying in wait in the dark to stab his best friend in the back through fear of the consequences. We don't want him for an American citizen, for he would now be an American except in name. He is built along entirely different lines and has dif ferent modes of thought, but, so far as I havo been able to discover, the Cuban has no code of morals." Next Commander of 6. A.

It clings tenaciously to the sys tem. arid grows more malignant with each returning Fall and Winter. The time to take treatment for dis eases of a cartarrhal nature is now. The cllmatio conditions are most favorable, in fact, the best of the year, the liabil ity to taking cold being the lowest, and one month's treatment now will do more good than two months in cold and rainy weather. Time and again Dr. Copeland has urged upon persons In desperate stages of ca tarrhal disease the necessity and import ance ot taking treatment while the weather is most favorable to a cure. Now Is that time. Those who suffer from catarrh should take advantage of all the Influences that operate now In favor of a cure. They should not put oft treatment until next Winter's stormy days, but should prudently "mend their INSTANCES Mr. D. Slavens, East Twenty-seventh and Til lamook streets, Port land: In the past 10 years there has been scarcely a time when I could eat a meal without suffering and distress afterward. Food, instead of being digested, soured on the stomach, causing bloating and belch ing. For two or three hours after eating I would belch and gag and raise particles of food. My stomach wa3 sore and ten der, so bad at times that I could not bear my clothing to touch me. I also had a bad case of catarrh of the head and throat. I had' Intense pain on tho top of my head, which was so severe at night as to prevent me from sleeping. There was a discharge from the head, and the right nostril was so clogged up that I could not breathe through It. Thero was a constant ringing and buzzing In the ears, and on rising in the morning my hearing was very dull. The disease finally reached a stage where. If I had not obtained relief. I would soon have been an Invalid. I had lost 30 pounds, and could no longer worK. About two years ago Drs. Copeland and Montgomery cured my brother of what we all thought was consumption, and I had every confidence in their skill when I began treatment. I was not disap pointed, for I was under treatment but a short time when I began to get bettor, and now am once more a well man. My stomach is in first-class shape, and the catarrh has been thoroughly cured. " 7 Mrs. M. Dot DeafneSS j postofflce address SS. l land: May years Doutnlt, Port ago I had dlnhtheria. and since that time have been, troubled with my ears. There was a constant dis charge from both ears. Sometimes it was merely a little watery discharge; at other times it was thick and foul. I had sharp, Bhootlng pains through the ears and a terrible Itching. The ears were dry and scaly. My hearing was very dull. I could not understand the common tones of the voice. At church I could not hear what the minister said unless I was right up In front. I could not hear the clock tick ex cept when close up to it. There was a continual buzzing and roaring in my head and a stopped-up feeling. Under the treatment given me at tha Copeland Institute my eara healed and my hearing returned. I will gladly answer any letters, for I am always pleased to recommend the treatment that ha3 done so much for me. Mr. D. 3T.
