THE SUNDAY 0REG0NIAN. PORTLAND, DECEMBER 1. 1901. UNFIT FOR THE OFFICE ROOSEVELT REMOVED THE GOV ERNOR OP OKLAHOMA. Jenkins 3Iade nn Improper Contract for Care of the Insane Fergn- aon Gets the Place. WASHINGTON, Nor. 30. The Presi dent today appointed Thomas B. Fer guson Governor of Oklahoma, vice Will iam M. Jenkins, removed. In taking this action the President attached to the pa pers the following memorandum: "Governor Jenkins, of Oklahoma, Is hereby removed because of his improper connection with a contract between the territory and the Oklahoma Sanitarium Company. The decision is based wholly upon his own written statements and his oral explanations of them, at the hearing. "One of the duties of the Territorial Governor is to enter Into the contract with some person or corporation for the keeping of the Insane of tho territory. Governor Jenkins made such a contract with the Oklahoma Sanitarium Company, a corporation, the promoters of which re served $10,050 of Its stock for the Governor and subject to his orders. In the Gov ernor's explanation of the affair he says he told the promoters, at the time they desired him to sanction the contract, 'that It was an Important contract; that I had borne friends whom I would like to have Interested In tho company, to whom I owed some obligations which I would not be able to pay by an appointment or any thing of that kind The stock was de livered to a banker, subject to the Gov ernor's order, and was turned over to these friends whose political service the Governor had also fought to reward. The extent of the favor to the Governor and his friends Is suggested by the fact that tho only known sale of tho stock since the contract was given out was at double tho price paid for it. "As performance of tho contract was to be the sole business of the corpora tion. It Is obvious either the territory was obligated to pay for more than the service was worth or that its helpless wards were to have the enormous profits contemplated taken out of their keep. "Tho Governor's confessed relation to the matter displays such a lack of ap preciation of the high fiduciary nature of the duties of his office as to unfit him for their further discharge. A sound rule of public policy and morals forbids a par ticular servant from seeking or accepting any personal benefit in a transaction wherein he has a public duty to perform. A Chancellor would not for a moment retain a trustee who, in dealings for tho trust, reserved an. advantage to himself. The thought is" not to be tolerated that the President can be less vigilant and ex acting In the public Interest "THEODORE ROOSEVELT."

COLONEL MEADE OX THE STAND. AH the Evidence in in the Brooklyn Court-Martial. NEW YORK, Nov. 20. Tho taking of evidence in the Meade court-martial ended today. The last witness on the stand was the accused himself. After tho cross examination of Colonel Meade the court handed this question to the Judge-Advocate: "In using the word 'collusion' In your testimony before tho court of inquiry, re ferring to ColoneJ Denny and the archi tect, Mr. Boring, did you mean it in a monetary sense?" "No, sir, I did not," replied Colonel Meade. "The word was not mine. The cross-examiner used the expression, and in the heat of the cross-examination I In advertently accepted Major Lauchhelm er's phrase. I meant that of the letter written by Mr. Boring to Colonel Denny, in which I was accused of habitual in toxication, and as all of the men of my command considered me an inebriate and other things, I inferred that the architect was associated with Colonel Denny to make trouble for me." Colonel Meade, Captain Shaw, Lieuten ant K. Harrison, R. L. Meade (son of the Colonel) and Edward R. Allen testified that Major Lauchhelmer was intoxicated at the party in Colonel Meade's home in Boston. CAXAI COMMISSION'S REPORT. Admiral Walker Delivered. It to Sec retary Hay. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.

Every one has been due, it find9, to the atmosphere and tcllurie conditions which have prevailed during the last six weeks. There had been a long period of dry weather with high winds, so that tetanus germs, says the commit tee, which have their normal habitation in the earth dust and dirt of stables, have been constantly distributed In the at mosphere. In the committee's opinion, vac cination is harmless, though care should be exercised in the treatment of tho wounds. STRIKE NEARLY OVER. Effect on the Manufacturing: Indus tries of PIttslmrs. PITTSBURG, Nov. SO. There was little change in the switchmen's strike today. Among the striking switchmen on the Allegheny -Valley road there was a rumor that the company was willing to compro mise on an additional cent per hour, and that negotiations would likely be begun with this object in view. The Tumor, however, could not bo verified. All the mills between Eleventh andFIfty-fourth streets are shut down on account of their Inability to obtain the necessary coal. It is estimated that about 50,000 men are idle. Officials of all roads affected by tho strike except tho Allegheny Valley re port tonight that the strike is over. The Valley officials say the worst is over, and that by Monday or Tuesday their road will be in normal condition. While the strike Is practically disposed of, the companies find themselyves confronted with the worst condition of freight-handling In the history of tho city. Mills along tha" Monoagahela River are work ing night and day at an unusually high pressure, and connecting roads find It im possible to supply cars to the big plants fast enough to get the manufactured prod uct away. It Is said that in the yards of the Homestead mill 2G.O0O tons of plates are stored, with little room left If relief roes not come soon it Is feared the work will have to shut down. The 30-inch mill suspended today, and the 2S-lnch mill Is likely to follow soon. Manufacturers and merchants throughout this entire district are being made to suffer severely by the lack of nieass for transportation. Labor Union Officer Arrested. MADISONVILLE, Ky., Nov. 30. C. C. Barnaby, vice-president of the Twenty third District, United Mincworkers of America, was arrested here today on a warrant charging him with confederating and banding together with others for the unlawful Intimidation of nonunion miners.

Proposal Fair to AH. Commissioner Swigert said this proposal was so fair that all the property-owners should be able to agree and act on It He regretted to observe, however, that some of the wharf owners seemed to think they would be doing a great service to the port and the community if they should construct bulkheads on their property and permit tho dredge to fill in. He deemed this position wrong on the part of the property-owners, but said it was a condi tion that had to be met Several of the gentlemen present ex pressed themselves In favor of hiring the dredge of the North Pacific Lumber Com pany to dredge within the harbor while the dredge of the Port of Portland Is en gaged in other work. It was not made entirely clear, however, whether that dredge would excavate clay and gravel. Trustee Mears finally moved "that the Chamber of Commerce request the Port of Portland Commission to Inform "us whether it will take action in reference to the employment of an outside dredge in addition to its own, for tho improvement of the harbor and channel at an early date."

THE HEART OF AFRICA WHITEHOUSE "WILL START OX A FRESH EXPEDITION. Rhode Inland Man Proposes to Ex plore the Unknown Portions of Lake Albert LONDON, Nov. 30. William Fltzhugh Whliehouse, Jr., of Newport, R. L. who has been In London this week, testifying in an arbitration case In connection with a personal dispute between two members of tho Harflson-Whltehouse Abyssinian ex pedition of 1200, Intends to start In a few weeks on a fresh expedition to the heart of Africa, accompanied by Captain Powell Cotton, of the Northumberland Fusiliers. They Intend to go In a Belgian gunboat up the Congo to Basoko, thence through the pigmy forest to the north, avoiding the usual forest route, the Uganda, and then push on and explore the unknown portions of Lake Albert The chief ob jects of the expedition are to obtain big game, but it will also Include practical surveys from which valuable geographical results may be expected. Mr. Whltehouse hopes to return In about nine. months. The regular exodus of American officials from London is now taking place. Within a fortnight the Ambassador, second secre tary and tho nav&l and military attaches will all be in America, on leave of ab sence, only Henry White, Charge d'Af falrs, and William C. Eustls, the third secretary, remaining at the Embassy. Commander Richardson Clover, tho naval attache, takes back for the Inspection of tho Navy Department another Invention for controlling torpedoes by wireless teleg raphy, which he Inspected this week. The Inventor's experiments show that torpe does not only can be steered by electric waves, but can be stopped, started and fired at will by means of this agency. News has reached London that In re sponse to the pressure brought to bear by American and British companies, Ger many has made an Important concession in connection with the now Insurance law which comes Into force In January. It is to tho effect that companies deciding to retire will bo considered practically non existent and will not be compelled, during the process of liquidation, to conform to the conditions of the drastic new mea sure. This Insures the German government not taking over such assets and liabilities of these companies as were under govern mental control, the probability of which had previously greatly exercised foreign Insurance Interests In Germany. Amusement has been created among the members of the diplomatic corps by what is termed the French Ambassador's ordeal at the Thanksgiving dinner given under the auspices of the American Society In London. M. Cambon was obliged to listen to expressions of Anglo-American broth erhood.whlch toward the end of the dinner developed into enthusiastic prophecies that the world would be controlled by English speaking peoples, without a single refer ence to France, except by Henry White, United States Charge d'Affalrs. who, with tactful utterance, officially disowned this thoughtless treatment of the chief guest and got out himself from what might have been an awkward predica ment "Poor Cambon," said a member of the diplomatic corps to a representative of the Associated Press, "felt very uncom fortable, but outwardly he took the whole affair as a rather good joke on himself. It is likely to be a long time, however, be fore ho attends such another banquet. It was a great mistake to invite him." The affair has created no little annoy ance to tho American Embassy. Even if those alleged to be concerned In the effort to induce the Prince of Wales to challenge for the America's cup did not categorically deny the truth of the report, it would be palpably absurd. Lord Dun raven and Sir Thomas LIpton, the two yachtsmen mentioned as co-operating to this end, aro notoriously opposed to each other, whllo other members of the Royal Yacht Squadron, for some reason or other, and In splto of the King's effort to the contrary, vigorously oppose Sir Thomas LIpton. His chances of election to the Royal Yacht Squadron are still as remote as ever. Should the King, exercising his royal prerogative, force the matter to an Issue, many members of the squadron con template withdrawing and forming an other organization, but In view of the deep-rooted opposition of such distin guished subjects as -the members of the squadron, it is not likely the King will push matters further. ACCUMULATING AMMUX1TIOX. China Violating the Terms of the Protocol. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Nov. .30. Tho steamship Glenogle, arriving from the Orient today, landed 10 Chinese mer chants for examination as to their right to enter the United States. According to Oriental papers, notwith standing a. short time ago the allied forces in Pekln destroyea millions of cartridges and lead was melted and shipped out of the country, yet within a fortnight after this action millions of first-class now cartridges were taken by the Chinese and placed In the same place where the others were destroyed, and this was done with the knowledge and sanction of the allied forces and contrary to the prohibition clause In the protocol. The bow and arrow has ceased to be the official army weapon in China. Accord ing to the Hong Kong press, an imperial edict was issued October 28 abolishing the bow and substituting the gun. Tho edict was read for the first time at tho exami nation of a large number of candidates for positions in the military department at Canton.

It will serve as a warning to them not to place the court in such a humiliating position again. As a reactionary effect of the Boxer movement a large number of Chinese at Kiao Chou are becoming Christians, and many of them have presented umbrellas to churches as a token of their sincerity. During the Boxer troubles, the Christians were hated, and many atrocities on them were committed, but now the Chinese there are imitating tho Christians and following them. Private advices received at Yokohama from Vladlvostock are to tho effect that the River Amur closed to shipping Octo ber 18, and "from now on comsiunlcatlon with Amur points will be effected by way of Eastern Siberia. COMMITTED FOR TRIAL. Last Day of the Hearing;- or the Jacksons at London. LONDON. Nov. 30. In anticipation ot this being the last appearance In public of Theodore Jackson and Laura Jack Jn (Ann Odella Dls de Bar) before their com mittal for trial at the Old Bailey, the Marylebone Police Court was crowded to day. The principal witness was Dr. Mary Adams, whose testimony the female prisoner declared at the last hearing would prove that the" charges were the result of a conspiracy on the part of tho promoters of a rival sect known as the Koreshan Unity. The female prison er's cross-examination of Dr. Adams led to scenes during which Mr. Jackson de nounced Dr. Adams as the murderess of her husband. According to the evidence of Dr. Adams she left Ohio In 1899 and got mixed up with the prisoners at Glen Echo, a "suburb of Washington. She further testified that the prisoners obtained from her money under false pretenses and lured her to New York. She accompanied them to England. Paris and Cape Town. Find ing that the trend of Dr. Adams' evidence was unpalatable, the femalo prisoner sud denly shouted: "Your husband died of poison, didn't he?" "No," replied Dr. Adams. At this point the male prisoner Jumped to ills feet. "You are a murderess," he shouted. Mrs. Jackson calmed her husband and then continued to cross-examine Dr. Ad ams, who denied that she ever was ac cused of murdering her husband. When later she was examined by Charles Matthews. ee!I? counsel to the Treasury, Dr. Adams related her own experience with the prisoners, which re sembled Incidents related by the girl vic tims. While at Cape Town, the Jacksons were so notorious that the soldiers mobbed the house. After the first testimony in regard to the male prisoner's malpractice, the prisoners both denounced Dr. Adams with shouts of "liar" and "perjurer." The prisoners were committed for trial at the Old Bailey Court. Hall Calne Must Explain. NEW YORK. Nov. 30. The National Club of Whitehall Is in a state of consid erable agitation, cables the London cor respondent of the Herald. A few days ago the general committee was called upon to consider the fact that Hall Calne had opened a Roman Catholic bazaar a little while ago In the Isle of Man. He made a speech in which he an nounced himself as belonging to the "big church," the Church outside the churches, saying also, that of all the churches he Catholic Church was the church of the poor, and speaking of the Pope as His Holiness and Holy Father. These were grounds of offense to the court members of the National Club, whose standing or ders say it shall consist of members who hold the doctrine and tho principles of the reformed church. The general committee at its recent meeting to consider whether Mr. Hall Calne, as member, had not violated the principles supposed to be held by its members, passed a resolution denouncing Mr. Calne's conduct and requested him to give his attention to the rule of the standing orders which called for an ex planation or resignation, or failing either, for expulsion. The Bismarck Correspondence. NEW YORK, Nov. 30. Among the in teresting letters In the new volumes of Prince Bismarck's correspondence, says a dispatch from Berlin to the London Times and the New York Times, are those ex changed by the Chancellor and Count Henckel von Donnersmarck In regard to the proposed visit of Gambettato BIsmark. BIsmark protested against the suggested visit, saying that it was Important In the interest of peace that Gambetta's influ ence should be preserved and it would be injured by dealings with himself (Bis marck.) Count von Donnersmarck still urging the advisability of the visit, Bis marck repeated his former objections, adding that the Emperor would be fright ened by closer relations between his Chancellor and Gambetta. After all, the visit was arranged, but at the last mo ment Gambetta excused himself because of the pressure of Parliamentary business. In one letter BIsmark said that nn ul tramontane Government under one of the French pretenders would have been forced on Germany whenever the Jesuits gave the word. -A Bullerlte Demonstration.

Catarrh Claims a Multitude of Victims Every Winter, The Vast Majority of Whom Never Recover, Will You Be One of Them? Catarrh Is silent and Insidious In its ravages, but It pervades nearly every household and hovers like a pestilence over every hamlet and city la our land. Catarrh (and its. legitimate conse quences) have desolated more hearth stones, made wretched more happy lives, and ended more brilliant careers than all other diseases combined. Catarrh may end In deafness, blind ness, loss of smell, loss of taste, or the entire loss of voice. Diphtheria, bronchitis, pneumonia, consumption and pleurisy begin almost always as the result of a catarrhal at tack. The worst forms of dyspepsia and Bright's disease of the kidneys are also the direct consequences ot neglected cases of acute catarrh. Even when the victims of acute ca tarrh escape all of the above-mentioned liabilities, there remains the great prob ability of its ending In chronic catarrh. "The only hope of success In the perma nent cure of a case of chronic catarrh is to devise some remedy that will stim ulate the nerves which supply the capil lary blood vessels. There is but one remedy that has this most desirable effect, and that remedy Is Peruna. This remedy strikes at once at the root of the catarrh by restoring to the capillary vessels their healthful elas ticity. Peruna is not a temporary palliative, but a radical cure. Mr. Joseph A.
