THE SUNDAY OEEGOOTAN, PORTLAND, MAECH 23, 1902.
EXIT OF JOHN DILLON
Jf ATIOXAIjXST PAPERS BACK UP HIS
DECLARATION'.
Beresford's Outspoken Criticism Cre
ates a Stir in Xaval Circles
At tlie London Theaters. i
LONDON, March 22. The sensational
exit of John Dillon, the Irish Nationalist,
from the House of Commons Thursday
last, as a result of his calling Mr. Cham-
"berlain, the Colonial Secretary, a "d d
liar," continues to be the topic of the
House. The Irish Nationalist papers back
up Mr. Dillon's declaration,- regarding Mr.
Chamberlain's lack of veracity with frank
ness, though the Dublin Evening Tele
graph remarks that Mr. Dillon was guilty
of a slight anticipation regarding Mr.
Chamberlain's damnation, which, it says,
is only coming, though already in sight,
adding: "As to his being a liar, that
goes without saying."
The object of all this abuse has created
another sensation by his clothes. The
Tailor and Cutter, which paper was ac
customed to belaud the Colonial Secretary
as the very pink of fashion, now says:
"We are sorry to note that Mr. Cham
berlain Is developing quite a stoop, and
fear he is losing some of his old-time
smartness. It is true that his monocle is
still In Its old place, but we miss the fa
miliar orchid, and, as we have examined
his garments, we could not but feel that
conservatism was sadly apparent, - for
there was much in them that was not up
to date."
The Westminster Gazette humorously
comments on the fact that a weak spot
has at last been found in Mr. Chamber
lain's armor, adding:
"Remembering the weird and wonderful
clothing with which the doorkeepers of
the House of Lords were startled in 1KD3.
when the home rule bill gathered ' the
noble Chambers together, we can only
come to the conclusion that Mr. Cham
berlain Is beginning to qualify for a seat
in the House of Lords."
In the meantime Mr. Dillon, except from
the critical eye of the Tailor and Cutter's
editor, is the hero of the hour in Dub
lin. One of the most amusing sequels of
Mr. Dillon's forcible retorts occurred in
the grand committee-room of the House of
Commons, where a deputation of women
graduates was presenting a petition ask
ing to be given the power to vote at the
election for members of Parliament. Mrs.
Harraden, the novelist, who was one of
the delegates, warmly supported the peti
tion, claiming that it was unfair that
women should have to pay the Income tax
and yet not be allowed to vote it Parlia
mentary elections.
The members of Parliament who were
listening were called to take part in the
division on Mr. Dillon's suspension. Wil
liam E. Lecky, the historian and Unionist
member of Parliament from Dublin Uni
versity, was among the members who
heard the statements of the supporters of
' the petition, returned and addressed the
graduates, saying he wondered if the
women would like a seat in Parliament,
in view of the fact that they would run
the risk at any moment of being called
"d d liars." Mr. Lecky concluded
with saying he believed the emotional ele
ment in politics was quite unduly devel
oped as it was without women entering
the field.
.Rear-Admiral Lord Charles Beresford's
outspoken criticism of the methods of the
British Admiralty since his return to
England has created a great stir in naval
circles, and is generally commended by
the press. One of his colleagues, how
ever, Vlce-Admlral Penrose Fitzgerald,
has written to the London Times a strik
ing criticism of Lord Beresford's utter-
, ances. Referring to, his Lordship's speech
before the London Chamber of Comerce
. March 14, Admiral Fitzgerald character
ized it as "all gas, brilliant gas, incan
descent gas, but still gas." Admiral
Fitzgerald says that the Admiralty Is
1 quite able to meet an International
emergency. He admits that .some minor
reforms may be desirable, but says "It is
not necessary to upset the coach because
one of the wheels wants greasing, nor Is
it desirable to wash our dirty linen in
public, supposing we have any."
Court etiquette and religious scruples
have had an amusing tussle at The
Hague. The trouble arose when the
daughters of Dr. Kuyper, the Premier,
were invited to the first court ball of the
season. Low-necked dresses were com
manded, but the Misses Kuyper decided
that decolette dresses were Inconsistent
with their religious principles. They ap
plied for a dispensation, but received a
curt reply from the mistress of cere
monlest who declared that time-honored
customs of the Dutch court must be ad
here to. Dr. Kuyper made direct repre
sentations on the subject to Queen Wil
helmina, with the result that a com
promise was arranged. The Misses Kuy
per will stay away from the ball, but
will take tea with their sovereign In high
necked dresses the same afternoon.
Eighty police constables from the vi
cinity of Inverness, Scotland, landed on
the Island of Lewis today and proceeded
northward to Ness Church. There they
forced a barricade erected by the parish
owners and held by them for months
against all the police and other forces
sent by the authorities of the United Free
Church to take possession of the church.
The local feeling was wholly opposed to
the recent union of the Scottish churches.
Parltes of policemen previously sent to
the Island- had been mobbed and had heen
compelled to retreat to Stornaway.
A daughter has been born to the new
Marchioness of Dufferin (nee Flora Da
vis, of New York), at their town house
in Cadogan Square.
The eroat charity bazaar arranged In
celebration of King Edward's coronation
will be opened about July 7, probably by
Queen Alexandra. Mrs. Choate, wife of
' the United States Ambassador, and Mrs.
Cornelius Adair will have charge of the
American stall and bar, in which many
novelties will be Introduced. Most of the
leading society women here are Interested
In the bazaar, which promises to be one of
. the most Interesting functions of the coro
nation festivities.
Society is much excited regarding the
probable action of clubs toward Lord Rod
ney whose wife, when she obtained a di
vorce from him,' Thursday, testified that
on one occasion he struck her Irt the eye
with his fist. There are rumors that his
resignation will shortly, be handed in at
the Carleton and other aristocratic clubs
to which he belongs. One paper, referring
to the details revealed in the divorce
court, says: "No more sordid tale was
ever told in a police court than the story
Lady Rodney related of her husband's
conduct toward her."
With the exception of "The Girl From
Maxim's," first presented here at the Cri
terion Theater Thursday last, no new pro
ductions marked the theatrical bill, al
though severarNmanges occurred tonight.
In spite of Its popularity in America. "The
Girl From Maxim's" has utterly failed to
be appreciated in London. Seldom has a
play been so unmercifully criticised by
the press. "Are You a Mason?" finished
its run at the Shaftesbury Theater to
night, and will reopen March 31 at the
Royalty Theater. Tonight also marked
the last performance at. the old Globe
Theater, which will be demolished. Julia
Neilson and Fred Terry will tour the
provinces with "Sweet Nell, of Old Dru
ry." "Kitty Grey," at the Apollo, and
"A Chinese Honeymoon," at the Strand,
will both celebrate their 200th perform
ance next week.
Charles Frohman has secured the Gar
rlck Theater for Sarah Bernhardt and
Coquelin in June. Mr. Frohman now has
an Interest in eight leading London play
houses. According to the Dally Chronicle,
he will soon acquire another, while his
success in London, has Induced .several
provincial managers ' to offer him. com
p'ete control of their, theaters. These of
fers have been declined, as Just now Mr.
Frohman has as much on his hands as he
can conveniently manage. But. it is quite
within possibility that before five years
havs elapsed Mr. Frohman will be direct
ing a string of provincial theaters extend
ing as far north as Aberdeen.
Active preparations are being made at
the Lyceum Theater for the production of
Sir Henry Irvlng's "Faust." New scen
ery has been painted, and novel lights
will be produced. George L. Meredith's
"The Egotist" has been dramatized, and
is likely to be produced this year.
Beerbohm Tree continues, to do excel
lently with "Ulysses." He is not at all
disturbed by the Mrs. Brown-Potter epi
sode, and said to a representative of the
Associated Press: "I am so accustomed
to her caprices that nothing surprises me
now. I thought I was very gallant in my
statement that I believed she could not
have uttered the remarks attributed to
her. I have learned to laugH these
things off. It may seem pompous to com
pare the episode with the Bernhardt
Ca tulle Mendes squabble: but I always
knew that when Sarah takes to tears she
is going to that minute kiss and make up
with the public"
The latest London novelty is the "som
ersault cure" for fat women. A West End
surgeon's house has been fitted up as a
gymnasium, where aristocratic patients
turn somersaults on Swedish principles, In
the hope of reducing their obesity. The
cure is said to be most efficacious.
CHINA AT ST. LOUIS FAIR
Exclusion Bill 3Iny Prevent Its Par
ticipation. "WASHINGTON, March 22. The pro
jectors of the St. Louis Exposition have
discovered, that the organic act providing
for the exposition contains a paragraph
which threatens to prevent the participa
tion of the Chinese Government. This
section Is a peculiar one, and not only
prohibits "the coming into the United
States of any Chinese persons" In con
nection with the exposition, but absolutely
prohibits a suspension of this provision
of the act under any circumstances. The
exposition authorities feel that this will
prevent absolutely the participation of the
Chinese Government, if it stands, and
they are now working earnestly to secure
correction of this.
ST. LOUIS. March 22. Secretary Wal
ter B. Stevens, of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition Company, -when shown the
Washington dispatch relating to the ex
clusion of Chinese, said:
"There is a mistake about this. The
matter referred to is contained in section
56 of Senator Mitchell's bill, now pending
Ir Congress, providing for the exclusion of
Chinese. In May next the Geary law will
expire by limitation, and Senator Mitch
ell's bill is meant to replace It Section
5C of the pending measure reads: 'That
the provisions of this act shall not be sus
pended at any time, nor shall any ex
emption be made In order to permit the
admission of Chinese persons to the United
States or any of Its territory for the pur
pose of participating in any fair or exposi
tion.' "The World's Fair management has not
taken any action in regard to the matter
other than to call the attention of Senator
Mitchell to the anomalous position of the
United States, which has already given
China an Invitation to participate in the
coming World's Fair, if the bill is passed
in Its present form."

STRICKEN FROM THE BILL
HOUSE COMMITTEE TAKES OUT THE
CHIXESE SAILORS' CLAUSE.
From the Mltchcll-Kahn Exclusion
Mcannre Two Contented Election.
Cases Considered.
WASHINGTON, March 22. By an aU
most unanimous vote the House com
mittee on foreign affairs struck out of
the MItchell-Kahn Chinese exclusion bill
the paragraph prohibiting ships flying tho
American flag from employing Chinese
sailors, under $2000 penalty for each of
fense. This provision has proved one of
the chief sources of controversy over tho
bill. The Senators and Representatives
from the Pacific Coast States regard this
provision as most important.
The main argument leading to striking
out the provision was that American
ships on the Pacific compete with Eng
lish and Japanese lines, and that the lat
ter ships would Indirectly receive a great
advantage In continuing the employment
of Chinese at $7 50 per month, whereas
the American ships would have to pay
about $30 per month for white sailors.
Representative Kahn, of California, has
talked with Speaker Henderson as to the
exclusion bill when it reaches the House,
and it Is understood that while Mr. Kahn
considers the sailors clause most Im
portant, he will not Insist upon It to the
extent of Jeopardizing the entire exclu
sion measure.

contested election case of Moss vs. Rhea,
from the Third Kentucky district. In

vided on party lines, the majority sup
porting the view that Moss had been

tentions of the majority. He denied that
political bias had Influenced the majority
of the committee. He said it was unques
tioned that Moss had received more votes
than Rhea, who, orr the face of the re
turns, had 356 plurality.
Burgess (pern. Tex.) defended the con
K J jt&zi&?;
tention of the minority that Rhea was
entitled -to retain his seat. He argued
that none of the disputed ballots should

maintained that If correctly counted, ac
cording to correct rules of law, the re
sult would not be changed.

pression In tobacco circles that the two

The Germs of La Grippe Are Con

No one can escape the La Grippe germ
because when an epidemic of the disease
Is prevailing the air is laden with It.
The reason that every one does not
have the disease at the same time 13 be
cause the persons who are enjoying per
fect health are able to successfully resist
and throw off the Infection, while those,
who for any reason are not in tho best
of health, fall ready victims.
The first symptoms are those of acute
catarrh resembling a hard cold and if
prompt treatment Is applied at this time
it can easily be broken up; one of the
best remedies at this stage Is Stuart's
Ca'tarrh Tablets, sold by druggists every

every hour or two for two or three days,
the danger of pneumonia and serious com
plications will be, averted.
The Rev. L. E. Palmer, Baptist clergy
man, of Ceresco, Mich., makes a state,
