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?

In addition to Foster and Tharon, there
are several reliable detectives from the
Secret Service always detailed to accom

Attacks on the Continent.
NEW TORK. Aug. 18. Precautions for
the safety of the prince of Wales auring nia

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

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.

POSITION OF THE NEGRO.
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.

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.

Brother Brown how preciously he has
been dealt with; Brown has been blessed
by all Illness; he has had the blessing of
getting better; he has relapsed, and final
ly has the blessing of being called out
of the world altogether. I don't differ
with Brown essentially only in the com
pliments, as It were, which he thinks It
Is proper to be forever paying. I am
well: Amen. I am 111: Amen. I die:
Amen always. I can't say that having

Cnba All Right, but Cubans Not.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. 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."

AH Chronic Invalids Should Take Advantage of
Faivorable Climatic Conditions.
Catarrh Is an obstinate and dangerous
disease. 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

Mr. D. Slavens, East

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.

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.

I had been in a very uncomfortable and
more or less ailing condition from ca
tarrh of the head and throat since child
hood. The distressing and offensive fea
ture of my disease, in spite of almost in

dies, was in the stopped-up and stuffed-up
condition of my nose and head, causing a
constant dripping of mucus from behind
the palate, and In the intolerable abomi

spitting to clear the throat, and clogging
of the nostrils with scabs.
Some years ago the poisons of the dis
ease began to tell on my stomach. My
stomach began to turn against food so
that I could hardly eat at all 'without
nausea and sickness afterward. I ran
down In weight until I weighed only 135
