THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. POBTLAND, MARCH 2, 1902.
BUSY DAY IN SENATE
Omnibus Claims and Irriga
tion Bills Passed.
SUBSIDY MEASURE' TAKEN UP
Conference Report on Philippine
Tariff Bill Agreed to Consldera
tloa of Matter of Protec
tion of President.
WASHINGTON, March 1. Considerable
Important business was disposed of by
the Senate today. What Is known as the
omnibus claims bill and the measure pro
viding for the Irrigation of public Jands
were passed, the conference report on the
Philippine tariff bill was agreed to, and
the shipping bill was made the unfinished
business. The irrigation measure pro
vides that all moneys received from the
Bale of public lands In Arizona, Califor
nia, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North
and South Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Utah, Washington and Wyoming, begin
ning uly 1 last, be devoted to the con
struction of necessary irrigation works
for the reclamation of arid lands, the
work to be done and the money expended
under the direction of Uie Secretary of
the Interior. The bill was under discus
sion for several hours, but encountered
no opposition and was passed without a
rollcaU.
The Proceedings.
Soon after the Senate convened, Turner
(Wash.) announced that after considera
tion he had concluded that his resolution
offered yesterday ought properly to be
referred to the committee on privileges
end elections. The resolution declared in
brief that the presiding officer of the Sen-
ata had no authority to eliminate from
the rollcalls of the Senate the name of
any member of the body. The present
occupant of the chair (Frye), he said,
&ad made a statement concerning recent
occurrences In the Senate, in the course
of which "he did me the high honor to
apologize to me for not entertaining an
appeal which I had taken from his decis
ion." Turner said that as the Senate was
about to attend the memorial service of
the late President McKlnley, he was pre
vented from making acknowledgment of
the kindly and courteous act of the chair.
He desired now to make such acknowl
edgment, although he felt that the apol
ogy of the chair was unnecessary, The
resolution was then referred to the com
mittee on privileges and elections.
The protest of Senator Tillman, pre
sented Thursday, was referred to the
same committee.
The omnibus claims bill, which yester
day was made a continuing order for to
day, was taken up, and, on the comple
tion of Its reading, was passed.
The Senate then considered bills on the
private pension calendar, passing 46 of
the measures.
The Senate passed a joint resolution
providing for the printing of 3500 copies
of the proceedings of the Schley court
of inquiry.
The bill for the protection of the Pres
ident of the United States was then laid
before the Senate. Hoar, chairman of
Hie judiciary committee, said it seemed
to the committee that for many obvious
reasons, any attempt to kill the Presi
dent ought to be taken cognizance of by
the Federal Courts rather than by the
State Courts. Relative to section 7 of the
bill, directing that the Secretary of War
should provide a military guard for the
protection of the President, he thought
all careful observers must agree that the
detective police, upon which dependence
is now had, has not accomplished its pur
pose upon at least three important occa
sions. The (purpose of the -provision is
to make some officers of the Government
responsible for the protection of the Pres
ident. Pettus maintained that a military guard
ought to be provided. He expressed his
conviction that if there had been a mili
tary guard, not one of the Presidential
assassinations would have occurred. Per
fect protection, he thought, is not pos
sible, but he remarked sarcastically that
the only blow struck for the life of the
President at Buffalo was struck by a
negro. Such a situation would scarcely
have been possible if a proper military
guard had been provided.
The bill was then laid aside without
action, and consideration was resumed of
the irrigation bill. Stewart supported the
pill, as did also Tillman. ThB latter, in
Jthe course of his remarks, referred to
Home statements made by ex-Senator
Carter, when he talked the river and
"harbor bill to death in the last -Congress.
"Which were not true," interjected
5erry.
"I am afraid," said Tillman, "that my
Jrlend from Arkansas will get into the
same trouble that I was In recently If he
b not more parliamentary."
Berry, Hoar, Bacon, Teller, Gallinger,
Patterson, Rawlins and Clay also sup
ported the measure. The bill then was
Eassed without a rollcall, the sentiment
i favor of it being unanimous.
Frye then moved that the bill known
.s the Bhlp subsidy bill be taken up. The
motion prevailed, the effect of It being to
make the bill unfinished business. Frye
aid it is the purpose to press the bllL
The conference report on thePhillpplne
tariff bill was called up and adopted.
At 4:17 P. MVthe Senate went into ex
ecutive session and at 4:32 P. M. ad-
'ourned.
COJfFEJREKCE ON" TARIFF BILL.
Hon so Accepts All bnt One of Sen
ate's Amendments.
WASHINGTON, March L The conferees
1f the two houses of Congress on the Phil
ippine tariff bill reached an agreement
loday after one sitting, the representatives
of the House accepting all but one of the
material amendments made by the Senate.
The amendment which was not accepted is
the one imposing duty upon foreign ton
nage engaged in interlsland traffic in the
Philippines. The House conferees also re
fused to accept the proviso connected with
the Senate amendment limiting the oper
ation of the sedition laws of the Philip
pines, leaving that provision to declare
simply that "No person in the Philippine
Islands shall, under the authority of the
United States, be convicted of treason by
any tribunal, civil or military, unless on
the testimony of two witnesses to the
same overt act or on confessions in open
court." The part stricken out exempted
members of a family from, punishment
for falling to give Information concerning
the treasonable acts of one another.
The Senate reduction of 25 per cent on
Ihe rate of duty is retained.
TONGUE AMENDS IRRIGATION BILL.
Adopted ay House Committee on
Arid Lands.
WASHINGTON, March L The House
committee on arid lands today ordered a
favorable report on the bill drafted by
Senators and Representatives of the
Western States and Introduced in the
House by Newlands of Nevada with an
amendment giving each state, or terri
tory the major portion of the' irrigation
fund derived from Us public lands sales.
As originally framed the bill created a
general fund from, the sale of public
lands in arid land states, the Department
of the Interior being given authofTty to
expend this amount In the reclamation of
the arid tracts. Chairman Tongue, of
the committee, has maintained that this
gives the Secretary of. the Interior too
wide a discretion and that each state
should retain the bulk of Its own public
land sales. "It was his amendment which
prevailed" today.,
OXNARD FAYQRS THE REBATE.
Beet-Sagar ManLa,ys His Views Be
fore the President.
WASHINGTON, March L Henry T.
Oxnard, who iy at the head of the beet
sugar industry in this country, had a
talk with President Roosevelt today In
regard to th proposed Cuban reduction,
in which "he urged the view that a re
bate such .as was proposed by Represent
ative Tawney would give the relief de
sired and havo the additional advantage
over a tariff concession of going directly
to the Cuban planters. Mr. Oxnard called
the attention of the President to the re
port from Europe that the International
Sugar Conference had agreed upon the
abolition of all sugar bounties, direct and
indirect, and told the President that such
action would settle the whole problem by
raising the price of sugar throughout the
world. For this reason he contended that
there is no reason for hasty action". The
President listened attentively to what Mr.
Oxnard had to say, but said little him
self beyond reiterating his position in
favor of relieving the situation in Cuba.
To Preserve Senate's Dignity.
WASHINGTON, March 1. Senators
Plaft and Hoar have introduced amend
ments to the Senate rules, evidently sug
gested by the McLaurln-Tillman episode.
Senator Piatt's amendment provides:
"That It is in the power of the Senate
to punish a member for disorderly be
havior by debarring such member from
participating in the proceedings of the
Senate."
Senator Hoar's amendment reads:
"No Senator In debate shall impute to
any other Senator conduct or motive un.
worthy or unbecoming a Senator. No
Senator In debate shall utter any reproach
upon the character or history of any
State of the Union."
Disposition of Friar Lands.
WASHINGTON, March L Governor
Taft today further discussed the dispo
sition of the friar lands and corporate
franchises In the Philippines before the
House committee on insular affairs. As
to the prospects for floating bonds which
are to take up the friar lands. Governor
Taft said he had spoken recently with
J. Plerpont Morgan, who said there was
no doubt as to the bonds being salable,
although Mr. Morgan could not say what
Interest rate they would command.
Merriam AVI 11 Retain His Place.
WASHINGTON, March 1. President
Roosevelt will sign the bill to create a
permanent census office as coon as it
reaches him, which will be on Wednesday.
It Is the general understanding that Gen
eral Merriam will be appointed Director
of the Census when the office is organ
ized on a permanent basis.
The Philippines Want More.
WASHINGTON, March l.-Governor
Taft received cable messages from ofll
clals In the Philippines today saying that
the 23 per cent reduction In the Philippine
tariff bill is not regarded as sufficient,
and asking him to use his endeavors to
secure a more substantial means of relief.
HALF A YEAR IN CAPTIVITY
now Miss Stone and Mmc. Tsllka
Fared In the Hands of Brigands.
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 1. The fol
lowing account of the captivity of Miss
Stone has been obtained by the Associat
ed Press from reliable sources, some of
the Information having been received
from the accomplices of the brigands:
After the capture of the missionaries
near Bansko, September 3 last, the brig
ands had to recross the boundary and
established themselvgs on the mountain
of Gueltepe, In Bulgaria, where the whole
population was in sympathy with the en
terprise. This fact enabled the band to
live comfortably and safely, and to keep
in touch with the outside world. Feel
ing perfectly secure, the members of the
band used to show themselves openly in
Kamenlca and neighborhood, until they
were warned by their local adherents to
be more careful. The prisoners, however,
were jealously secluded. When C. M.
Dickinson, United States Consul-General
at Constantinople, arrived, in October
last, and disclosed to the authorities the
whereabouts of Miss Stone's captors, the
result was nearly disastrous to the pris
oners. The Bulgarian Government 111-ad-visedly
pushed troops to the vicinity of
Gueltepe, forcing the brigands to break
off negotiations, and the band changed
its quarters to Kilo.
The cold weather made travel in the
mountains a dreadful ordeal for Miss
Stone and Mme. Tsllka, encumbered as
they were with the latter's Infant. Every
change of camp occurred at night. The
mountain roads were frequently almost
impassable, being often deep In snow.
The brigands treated their captives as
kindly as the circumstances permitted,
but the food supply" was necessarily pre
carious, though the ladles were given the
best the inhospitable region afforded. The
strain and suspense equalled the physical
hardships. The captives at no time knew
their whereabouts, the brigands always
telling them they were not In Bulgaria,
and they were In constant fear of attack
by the troops..
Not until November 2 did the American
emissaries come in touch with the band,
which was then established in a cave
near Dubnitza, but fear of the troops
forced the brigands to another flight. This
was made in a blinding snow storm, which
covered the tracks of the outlaws, but
caused bitter sufferings to the captives.
After this the brigands succeeded in com
pletely eluding the authorities, and to
ward the end of November, by a long
circuit, they succeeded In returning to
their old haunts In the Elledere district.
They then caused to be circulated a re
port that the captives were dead, and
from that time managed to keep Miss
Stone and Mme. Tsllka safely under cover
until the actual release of the captives
took place.
A Letter of Thanlcs.
BOSTON, March L In recognition of the
great sympathy shown for Miss Ellen M.
fetone, the missionary to Bulgaria, who
has just been released from captivity, her
mother and brothers havo issued a letter
of thanks to friends known and unknown,
who have In any way proffered aid or
sympathy.
A debt of gratitude Is especially ac
knowledged for the efforts put forth by
President Roosevelt, Secretary Hay and
Assistant Secretary Adee, of the State De
partment; Spencer Eddy, of the Legation
of Constantinople, officers of the American
Board and Consul-General Dickinson and
men and pastors who gave financial aid
and made appeals to the American people
for energetic action. The press of the
country is also heartily thanked for what
it .has done.
Bulgaria Caused the Delay.
LONDON, March L The Constantino
ple correspondent of tho Dally Chronicle
believes it to be practically certain that
the Bulgarian Government Instructed the
brigands nob to release Miss Stone on Bul
garian territory, and that this accounts
for the delay In the liberation of the cap
tives, as the brigands had no alternative
but to keep them until the relaxation of
the Turkish military cordon allowed the
brigands to smuggle Miss Stone and Mme.
Tsilka over.
Minn Stone at Constantinople.
CONSTANTINOPLE. March 1. Miss
Stone arrived here today from Salonlca
and proceeded lo the United States Le
gation. M. Gargiole, the first drago
man of the United States Legation, also
returned here today. He says Miss
Stone and Mme. Tsilka are in excellent
health and do not look as If they had
spent half a year in the custody of the
brigands. The latter called Mme. Tsll
ka's baby KlsmetQha, of "Lucky Child,"
saying; she brought them luck.
SEEING THE COUNTRY
(Continued from First Page.)
waited at the depot in two long lines on
either side of the track got but a short
view of it. At Brandensville tho train
was stopped, and the Prince, with cinder
marked face and begrimed hands, re
turned to his car to dress for the recep
tion at Pittsburg.
As he returned to the car .he laughed at
the sport of his ride through the moun
tains and said that he had had a splendid
time. He donned his uniform as Admiral
and the members of his .suite and the
military and naval members of the Amer
ican escort also put on their uniforms.
No other stops wero made on the way
to Pittsburg.
At Pittsburg the Prince was greeted by
a brass band and the German singing so
cieties of Allegheny County. Fully 20,000
people lined the boulevard and streets
about the station. Prince Henry was pre
sented with a large floral token, and an
address was handed to him. The Prfnco
appeared on the rear platform and
thanked the committee in an address of
a few words.
The train arrived at 1:14 o'clock and de
parted just 10 minutes later.
RECEPTION AT COLUMBUS.
Cordial Greeting at the Capital of
Ohio.
COLUMBUS, O., March L The recep
tion of Prince Henry In this city was very
cordial. Thousands of people crowded the
passageway leading to the Union station
which overlooks the tracks, and thou
sands more were scattered along the
tracks of the railroad for some distance
on either side of the station. Precautions
were taken to prevent tho crowds from
surrounding the train. The gates of the
station were closed and only passengers
and those to whom passes had been is
sued were admitted.
The train bearing the Prince and party
was scheduled to arrive at 4:20 P. M., but
did not reach Columbus until 5:25. The
crowds waited patiently, however, in the
growing darkness for a glimpse of the
distinguished visitor. As the train pulled
Into the Union station, a band struck up
"The Star-Spangled Banner," the strains
of which quickly melted away into "Die
Wacht Am Rhein." A loud cheer went
up from the crowd, and the Prince, who
had stepped out on the rear platform of
his car, touched his cap. Governor Nash,
Lieutenant-Governor Nlppert, Mayor Hin
kle and a committee of 100 representative
business men of the city were on hand
to receive the Prince. The Governor,
Lieutenant-Governor, Mayor and Joseph
Outhwalte, chairman of the Board of
Trade committee, boarded the car and
were presented to Ambassador von Hol
leben, who in turn presented them to the
Prince. Governor Nash welcomed the
Prince in behalf of the people of Ohio.
He said:
"The people of Ohio wish to thank you
for the vfelt you are making to our state.
For the people of the great German Em
pire and for Its distinguished Emperor,
your brother, we have the utmosrgood
wlll and friendship. We trust that your
stay will be full of pleasure and happi
ness." Mr. Outhwalte then spoke for the Board
of Trade and the citizens of Columbus.
He said:
"On behalf of the Board of Trade of
this city and of the citizens of Columbus,
I bid you a hearty welcome. Among the
cheers of those around us, your ears no
doubt caught the music of your native
tongue. Although the greetings of thosa
whose fatherland Is also your fatherland
may have sounded more cordial and en
thusiastic, let me a?aure you that the
welcome to you by all our people, no
matter to what country they owe their
origin, is most sincere.
"Welcome for yourself. Welcome for
y6ur illustrious ancestors. Welcome for
your Imperial brother, and welcome be
cause of the happy international signifi
cance of your visit.
"We deeply regret that your stop in our
midst must be so short that you cannot
see this, the greatest city In the world
of those named after the discoverer of
our continent. Should you ever come this
way again, may you stop longer; you
will find our latch-strlng out and a warm
welcome vwlthin.
"Your royal highness, I have the honor
to offer you these flowers in the name of
the Board of Trade. They are arranged
to express sentiments appropriate to this
occasion, recognizing the long-time friend
ship between the German Nation and this
Republic they breathe the hope that your
courteous visit to our land may strength
en those bonds of amity, that peace be
tween us may be forever flrmly anchored,
that the two flags thereon may never
float In a hostile attitude. May the rest
of your trip and your "tourney home be
safe and the recollections cf courtesies
and kindness Invite you to return."
The Prince responded briefly, saying:
"Wherever I have been in Ohio I have
been met by a large crowd of people and
been treated with the utmost kindness. I
am sorry I cannot meet and shake hands
with all the people, but this is impossible.
I appreciate the great cordiality and
frankness shown to me today In the high
est degree, and wish you would express
to the people of Ohio through the news
papers my gratitude."
A handsome floral emblem was then
presented to the Prince on behalf of the
Board of Trade. After the Governor and
associates had retired, the Prince came
out on the platform of the car and stood
while a German male chorus sang "Bit
ters Abscled."
The train pulled out of tho Union sta
tion promptly at 5:25, and the Prince re
mained on the rear platform, touching
his cap to the cheering crowd until the
edge of the city had been reached.
VAST CROWD AT CINCINNATI.
The Greatest MHltltnde the Prince
Had Ever Seen.
CINCINNATI, March 1. The train
bearing Prince Henry and party reached
this city at 8:45 and remained a half hour
for the demonstrations at the Panhandle
depot, when It was transferred across the
city and left over the Queen & Crescent
route through the Blue Grass region for
Chattanooga. Although It was known
that the train was late, the station and
the streets about it and even the yards
were fllled with people long before the
schedule time of the arrival. It Is esti
mated that there were from 30,000 to
40.000 people In the vicinity, and that many
more within the station and yards. The
station was cleared for the reception and
a large platform erected, so that Prince
Henry and suite could step from their
car onto It. Over this platform was a
large canopy of electric lights, with the
illuminated coats of arms of Germany
and the United States. While awaiting
the arrival of the train the multitude of
people was supplied with German and
American flags. When the train was sig
nalled the bands struck up and the multi
tudes were waving flags of the two coun
tries as the train of Prince Henry pulled
into the station. The sea of faces and
the waving of flags under the brilliant
illumination presented a grand spectacle.
The whole police force of the city was
marshaled in and about the station, and
perfect order was maintained, although
the patrol wagons took away several
loads of falting women who had fallen in
the surging crowds. Although extreme
precautions were taken to protect the
space where the special train stood, the
officers were overcome at some of the
gates, where hundreds rushed in without
cards. Before the train stopped, persons
were seen climbing on top of it, and the
tops of the cars were literally covered
with men while the Prince was alighting,
and policemen were compelled to patrol
the tops and clear It before it left the
station.
As the Prince stepped from his car on
to the platform, he was met by Mayor
Julius Fleischmann and a large reception
committee of leading citizens. The Prince
touched his cap when greeted by 3ayor

ho was escorted to the front of the plat

A long scene of cheering and waving of
flags of the two countries followed.
Prince Henry kept touching his cap to
the crowd, and when quiet was restored.
Mayor Fleischmann spoke as follows:
"Tour Royal Highness: In the name of
the citizens of Cincinnati it is my proud
privilege, as well as my sincere pleasure,
to welcome your Royal Highness to our

would have been Cincinnati's pleasure to

honored our citizens to have given you,
not alone as the representative of your
Imperial brother, the German Emperor,
and of the great German Empire, with
which our country entertains tho most

you as Americans and as Clnclnnatlans,
and we sincerely hope that ycrpr visit to
the United States may be as pleasant as
Is your presence in Cincinnati to her citi

address of welcome, saying:
"I have been met by large crowds of the
good people of Ohio and greeted with
demonstrations of the greatest kindness.
Catarrh
The cause exists in the blood, in
what causes inflammation of the
mucous membrane.
It is therefore impossible to cure
the disease by local applications.
It is positively dangerous to neg
lect it, because it always affects
the stomach and deranges the
hgeneral health, and is likely to
develop into consumpti&n.
Many have been radically and permanently
cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. It cleanses tba
blood and has a peculiar alterative and tonic
effect. R. Lonjr. California Junction, Iowa,

Considering the shortness of the recep

By far tho most wonderful phase of our
trade expansion during the next decade
is likely to be the development of the exr
port traffic to the Orient from Pacific
Coast ports, a traffic that has grown more
in the last 10 years than during all our
history.
Asia, with her millions of poorly fed
and poorly clad people, lies at the door
of our Northwestern country.
With outposts In Hawaii and tho Phil
ippines, now under our flag, and with
500.000,000 people In tho countries lying
beyond, waiting for our flour, our cotton
and our machinery, there are many who
predict that tho day Is not far distant
when the traffic of the Pacific Ocean will
exceed in tonnage that of the Atlantic.
As civilization pushes Its way into tho
Orient, creating demands for the prod

Geography and the building of Pacific

the location of the great depot for the
concentration of the trade with the Ori
ent on tho American Continent.
Our exports to China in 1D00 were less
than $50,000,000. Ten years ago we sold
China $1,000,000 worth of manufactured
cotton goods, while In 1DC0 we sold $10,
000,000, a gain of 1000 per cent. "We sold
China only $6,000,000 worth of flour In 1S00,
but even that was a gain of 200 per cent
In 10 years. Men who are familiar with
the development now going on In the
Orient predict that within 10 years the
consumption of flour In China "will aver
age 25 pounds per Inhabitant, which
would require 1.600,020.000 bushels of
wheat. To be even more moderate and
assume that the Oriental trade in 10 years
will call for only one bushel cf wheat per
year per Inhabitant, that would Increase
the demand of the world 500,000.000 or 600,
000,000 bushels. Add to China the trade of
Japan, already well developed, Korea,
Slam, Java and Eastern Siberia, and we
have something coloisal in the way of
Oriental" commerce.

carry this traffic, and the whole country

Chronic catarrh often makes its ap
proach in disguise. Before a person
knows it he may become a victim of
chronic catarrh. Its onset may be
gradual, its development Insidious, and
at last the victim finds himself in the
clutches of a tenacious disease. A slight
cold, a tendency to sneeze, a pufflness
in the nose and head, fullness or crack
ling In the ears, stringy mucus In the
throat, slight cough or wheeezlness,
snoring during sleep any one of these
reap financial advantage from It. That
the possibilities of this trade are clearly
foreseen la alreadv arjDirent in the con
struction of freighters to ply between Pa-

Mr. James J. Hill Is building In Connec
ticut two of the largest vessels ever built
to aid In developing the trade with China
and Japan. These vessels are to cost
$3,000,000, and each will have a capacity of
1500 passengers, also 300,000 bushels of
wheat, enough to fill 700 railway cars.
The ships are to be 630 feet long, each
with a displacement of 33,000 tone. When
It Is remembered that the displacement of
the Great Eastern was 27,000 tons and the
Oceanic 28,500 tons, one may form some
Idea ofthe size of these leviathans of the
deep which are destined to revolutionize
the commerce of the Orient.
DR. BURNETT'S STORY.

CHICAGO, March 1. Dr. Orvllle S.
Burnett, charged with being an acces
sory to the murder of Mrs. Charlotte
Nlchol, who committed suicide at the
Marlborough Hotel, October 20 of last

clared that Mrs. Nlchol had first sought
his acquaintance and that he at last
succumbed to tho temptation. Prior to
the suicide he said he had met Mrs.
Nlchol six or seven times. He gave de
tails of these meetings, tending to show
that Mrs. Nlchol was not an honorable
woman before he met her.
The witness denied emphatically that
he had agreed to die with Mrs. Nlchol
and declared that he had no recollection
of having said anything to policemen or

No cures to report,

truth about nearly all cough medicines.
But there's a record of 60 years of cures
back of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. And phy
sicians endorse it, prescribe it for colds,
bronchitis, and coughs of all kinds. Prob
ably your own doctor does. Ask him. He
knows all about it has the formula.
" I know from personal experience that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is the
best medicine in the world for quickly breaking up a heavy cold that has

"Where I have suffered any bad con
