Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY 0RJ3G0NIAN,- PORTLAND, JANUARY 26, 1902. CHINESE EXCLUSION Republican Promise Carried California for McKinley. SO SAYS E. J. L1VERNASH San Francisco Man's ArjjHment for Stricter Immigration Law In- t estimation of the Metcalfe Charges. WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. When the foreign affairs committee of the House resumed Its hearings today, on the sub ject of the re-enactment of laws prohibit ing the coming Into this country of Chi nese, it was informed that if it had not been understood fully by the people of the Pacific Coast in the last National campaign that the Chinese would bo ex cluded by a Republican Administration and by a Republican Congress, Cali fornia's electoral vote would have been cast for Mr. Bryan. This statement was by E. J. LIvernash, assistant manager of the San Francisco Examiner. In the course of his argument, Mr. LIv ernash particularly supported the section of the proposed act which prohibits the coming of Chinese into this country from the Philippines or other insular posses sions of the United States. Mr. LIvernash insisted that the people of the Pacific Coast were particularly In terested because they looked toward China and toward the Chinese in the Philippines with apprehension and sus picion. In reply to an Inquiry as to how many domiciled residents in the Philip pines or In Alaska, for instance, could be prevented from landing in the United States, Mr. LIvernash stated Incidentally that "if there ever was an English crown colony under the American flag, it is Alaska." There, he asserted, the rights of American citizens were invaded con tinually, and protests against such con ditions were of no avail. In conclusion Mr. LIvernash asserted that the breaking down of the Chinese exclusion law was urged particularly by the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. He strongly urged the committee not to ac cept as disinterested the ex parte state ments of these corporations, which, he said, were financially Interested in the immigration of Chinese. Gorman Gutzstad, one of the represent atives of the Pacific Coast Anti-Chinese committee, said that the Chinese come into competition with American skilled labor, notwithstanding the popular im pression to the contrary. In cigar-making, in shoemaklng and In the manufac ture of ladles furnishing goods the Chi nese seriously have undermined white labor. The committee adjourned until next Thursday. CUBA'S SUGAR INDUSTRY. Colonel Bliss GhcM the House Com mittee Some Facts. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Colonel Tasker Bliss, of the United States Army, detailed as Collector of Customs at Havana, was before the ways and means committee to day concerning Cuban reciprocity. Speak ing of the condition of the Cuban sugar industry, he said it was greatly depressed. The Havana banks were refusing further credits to the planters, and when this occurred it was sure evidence of distress of the plantations. He estimated the sugar industry of the island at $200,090,000, and said about three-fourths of the people were dependent in one way or another on it. Colonel Bliss presented tables designed to show how a tariff readjustment could throw practically all of the Cuban trade Into the hands of American producers. Representative Newlands. of Nevada, suggested that without our political con trol of Cuba, there might be servile labor to, compete with American labor. He added: "Arc the Cuban people prepared to come into political relations with the United States?" "I think a great majority of the Cubans are ready to come in," Colonel Bliss re plied. "As a territory or a state?" asked Mr. Newlands. "They would be glad to come In as a state or a territory, or under the military authority almost any way In order to come under the authority of the United States." Louis Place, head of the Cuban delega tion, made an earnest statement contro verting the claim that the reciprocity movement was Instigated by the United States sugar Interests and contending that the Cubans had. long urged and expected these concessions. "Cuba is fighting its own cause on Its own merits," declared Mr. Place. CHARGES AGAINST METCALFE. Conflicting: Testimony Places the Senate Committee In Quandary. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. The subcom mittee of the Senate committee on pen sions, which has been engaged for the past week in making an Investigation into the charges against General W. S. Met calfe, who has been nominated for the ofllco of Pension Agent at Topeka, Kan., probably will make a partial report to the full committee at its meeting" next Monday. Tho sub-committee finds itself in some what of a quandary, because of the con flicting nature of the testimony. The conclusion so far reached is that Filipino prisoners were certainly killed and that no steps were taken to punish those who killed them, but that General (then Major) Metcalfe did not know of the killing until after it had occurred. To Desift-nate an Acting? President. WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. The Senate committee on judiciary today authorized a favorable report on Senator Hoar's joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States giving Congress the power to designate some one to act as President in case of the disability of both the President and the Vice-President.

Dole, Governor of Hawaii, Intimating that the Governor's resignation Is desired. Gov ernor Dole's term of four years will not expire until May, 1804, but his continued poor health has given rise to many ru mors that he .Is about to resign. An Offer to Gage. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. A representa tive of the Bankers' Trust Company, of St. Louis, called on Secretary Gage to day and Indicated that the company would like to make him a proposition to accept a position, at the head of it. Mr. Gage informed his visitors that when he turned over his office to his successor he would locate In either Chicago or New York,' and that he could not entertain a proposition from any other source. The New Service Rifle. WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. General Croz ier. Chief ot Ordnance, has prepared a paper In regard to the new Springfield magazine rifle, practically adopted for the 9 Army? in which he gives some Inter esting sta'tlsxJcs" to show the superiority of that arm." These figures show, among other things that the new United States service rifle has an Initial velocity of 2C00 feet per second, against 200O feet for the Krag-Jorgensen, 2200 for the Mauser and 2145 for the German .military rifle. Al though stronger and superior in other re spects, the new service rifle, including bayonet and fcabbard, Is lighter than either of the other arms. The President's Callers. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Among the President's callers today was Judge Tach ereau, a distinguished member of the Su. preme Court in Canada. He was received, at the request of Lord Pauncefotc, the British Ambassador, and talked with the President some time In the Cabinet-room.

REGARDED TOO SERIOUSLY' No Political Aspect to Prince Hen ry's Visit. NEW YORK, Jan. 25. Commenting on the visit of Prince Henry to the United States, the Berlin correspondent of the Tribune says: Prince Henry's mission to America is regarded here as a good-natured attempt of the Emperor to make himself agree able to a friendly Nation whose power, wealth and Influence in the world are steadily increasing. Possibly he remem bers that the visit of the Grand Duke Alexis to America left a permanent Impression and created an amiable prej udice in favor of Russia, but It is not probable that he has planned a counter stroke to offset the English concessions to America and Lord Salisbury's good offices in the Spanish War. Diplomatic opinion here Is that" Prince Henry's visit is regarded too seriously at Vienna, Paris and London, and that the British Government allowed Itself to be drawn too easily Into making half rev elation of the Important services "ren dered to the United States In the critical period. It is denied strenuously by the officials that there Is any evidence that Germany was behind Austria-Hungary in proposing European Intervention In Cuba. Tho diplomatic theory here Is that the German Emperor is not playing a deep game in having his yacht named by a fellow sportsman's daughter, with Prince Henry as a witness. The Emperor is clearly taking a strong personal Interest In tho affair and doing everything possible to dignify the mission. Prince Henry Is undertaking the mission with great spirit, and is said to be look ing forward with great pleasure to meet ing an old friend, Rear-Admiral Evans. As the Prince- will visit Harvard Col lege, it will be a graceful act for the corporation to confer upon him an hon orary degree. The Emperor's gift for the German-American Museum at Har vard will be a more costly and comprehen sive exhibit of German art than is gen erally supposed. It helps to explain tho royal mission for the yacht launching.1 The Emperor likes to pay compliments and do things In a handsome way, and his motives are not necessarily self-interested nor closely calculated ln the .ap proaching International" episode. . , THE FRENCH VIEW. , Clever Move on Kaiser's Part to Se cure Good Will of Americans. NEW YORK, Jan. ' 25. The Paris cor respondent of the Trlbuno comments upon the visit of Prince Henry to America, as follows: The mission of Prince Henry of Prus sia to tho United States elicits from the French press many comments, the trend of opinion being that It Is a"n ex ceedingly clever move on the part of the German Emperor to win the good graces of the American people and induce them to enter cordially into his Imperial sys tem or policy In the far East and South America. A sort of splder-and-fly motive Is attributed to the mission, and as to what may be the final outcome of the lm- Derlal tmns-Atlnntlr. vnvatri lha ennMn. eus of opinion here Is thai the Intention of the Kaiser to establish "a new era of political friendship between the United States and Germany will not be realized." The Temps alludes sarcastically to the last mission with which Prince Henry was entrusted when he proceeded to China as "the mailed fist" to defy the yellow peril. The Inference to be drawn from the lead ing article In the Temps is that on the present -occasion Prince Henry of Prussia goes forth as the hand of Iron wearing a "glove 4 velvet to seek what compromise can be made with the American peril." The Temps concludes by laying stress on the zealous rivalry shown by England and Germany, indeed, by all the powers of Europe, to win the friendship of the United States, a rivalry which is deemed natural, creditable and highly flattering to the American people. The papers of both Paris and Berlin teem with descriptions of anarchist ac tivity in Chicago owing to the voyage of Prince Henry. Ladles at State Banquet. WASHINGTON. Jan, 25. It was decid ed today that Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice Roosevelt will attend the state ban quet to be given by the President In honor of Prince Henry.

The Depart ment of S.tate has just concluded negotia tions with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for the movement by special train of Prince Henry of Prussia and suite during his visit to the United States. BLIZZARD IN NEBRASKA. Snow Flying: In Blinding Sheets in All Parts ot the State. OMAHA, Jan. 25.

C, reports that the Italian bark Ver glne Delta Guardla, In sand ballast from Barbadoes for Philadelphia, Captain Lambramo, and crew of 12 men, stranded half a mile south of Washwood life-saving station tonight during a dense fog.

The following was received from St. Petersburg: "Should a request for publication be made by Great Britain, Russia will will ingly consider the matter. No such re quest has yet been received." UNFAIR TO THE COLONIES. Australasia Complains That Meat Contracts Go to Argentina. SYDNEY. N. S. W., Jan. 25. The plac ing of contracts In Argentina by the British War Ofllce, to supply meats and other produce for the troops In South Africa, has engendered extreme Irritation throughout Australasia. This action of the Imperial authorities is regarded as evidence of reprehensible Indifference to the claims of the colonies, as ill accord ing with tho expressions of imperial sol idarity, ac poor repayment for the sac rifices of the colonists, and generally as grave Injustice. Most of the Premiers of Australasia and the Premier of New Zea land have cabled to the imperial govern ment strong protests In practically Iden tical terms, saying that the two colonies are able to supoly the War Office require ments In South Africa three times over. Both colonies, it is pointed out, have more meat than customers, and when they are doing all In their power to build up and strengthen the Empire, It Is In comprehensible that trade Is given to for eigners, especially Argentina, thus bring ing Into the field a keen competitor with the people of Australasia. The Premiers further dtclare that they feel such action Is wrong, and unfriendly, and that the blunder should be promptly retrieved. Prince of Wales at Berlin. BERLIN, Jan. 25. The Prince of Wales, who has. come to Berlin to represent King Edward at the celebration of the anni versary of the blrh of Emperor William next Wednesday, was received with great ceremony on his arrival this evening by Emperor William, the British Ambassador and numerous distinguished personages.

The Emperor and his royal visitor afterward drove in a state carriage to the palace, where they dined with the Imperial family. At Em peror William's special order, an unusual number of police occupied the streets. The crowds, however, were email and showed little interest. The Worcester Church Row. LONDON, Jan. 25. The efforts by ap peal to the courts to prevent the con firmation of the election of the Right Rev. Charles Gore to the bishopric of Worces ter attract wide attention. It is under stood that King Edward is deeply inter ested in the indignant objections to his nominee, and It is quite prqbable that the ancient form for the confirmation of pre lates may be abandoned, thus avoiding giving ecclesiastical agitators the oppor tunity of making disturbance. Com menting on the affair, the Globe says: "The right of the King to appoint bish ops of the national church Is too firmly established to be contested, and In these days there is no fear of the right Tjelng abused." , Thinks France Is the Sufferer. LONDON, Jan. 25. The report of the Isthmian Canal Commission at Washing ton favoring the acceptance of the offer of the Panama Canal Company to sell Its property and rights to the United States for $10,000,000, causes some com ment here. The Saturday Review says: "The Americans cart do one thing to perfection they can drive a hard bar gain. The sufferer on thl3 occcaslon is France, which was completely hood winked by the American bluff. The PanT ama" directors have agreed to sell their rights for 140.000,000, and the United States will Jump at the proposal. The Amer icans have made a very good bargain, better, perhaps, than is seemly in Inter national dealings." Ambulance Corps Was Not Neutral. THE HAGUE, Jam 25. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, In the first Chamber of the States General, today said he had done his utmost to secure the release of the Dutch Membere of the Red . Cross Society who are held as prisoners in Cey lon, but was forced to admit regretfully that those persons had placed themselves in an almost Indefensible position by car rying Boer letters. The fact that these documents were of no importance did not alter the violation of strict neutral ity. The case, the Minister said, was bound to have an Important bearing upon the question as to what service a neu tral ambulance corps might render In fu ture wars. Ne Occasion for the Scare.

It Is certain, i-eIn "That JnA-Snth -offer -was made. The Agnews wellkhew they had no chance of acceptance, Wcause the Italian Government had already purchased tho collection. Tho art-dWlers admit the Italian Government has no intention of permitting the aale to foreigners, so thcro was no basis for LUdy Stanley's; scare about the gallery being In danger of pur chase by an American. A HamliBR, Says Onkhtomsky. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 10.-An Eng lish newspaper a few days ago printed a series of alleged secret documents com municated by a certain Dr. Alexander Ular, which, If authentic, would tend to indicate that Russia instigated the "Box er" movement, concerning Manchuria, or. rather, that the first draft of It, giving Russia extensive exclusive rights In Mon golia and Turkenstan as well, waa pre pared by LI Hung Chang and the Rus sians before the Boxer outbreak. The documents make liberal use of the name of Prince Oukhtomsky and that of Mr. Von Grote, who has been engaged in gold mining- In Mongolia, with the aid of St. Petersburg capital and American miners and mining machinery. "It is a pure humbug and He from be ginning to end, as far as I know, and certainly as far as It concerns myself," declared Prince Oukhtomsky. "Further more, the unpreparedness of Russia and the losses sustained do not indicate the Russian Government was better informed about the Boxers than the other pow ers." Temperance Movement In Russia. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 25. The Odessa, University has petitioned the gov ernment tar permit the holding In that city of university courses for women. The pro fessors, or part of them, at least, offer to lecture free to women students.
