LONDON, May 24. Iewanifca, Kins of
Barotzeiand (Northwestern Rhodesia), the
only King who -will be present at the coro
nation of Kin Edward, arrived from
South Africa today. The presents which
King Edward will give to the foreign en
voys are now ready. tVhitelaw Held, the
American special Ambassador, and his as
sociates will receive -pins and brooches of
gold, mostly in the form of the initial
"E.." set with rubles and pearls, with a
gold-enameled crown above. In a few
cases, perhaps, costlier presents will be
made to the heads of special embassies.
Practically all the invitations to the
coronation eervlce have been sent out
The Dowager Peeresses will sit with the
reigning Peeresses and wear similar robes
and coronets. In this way. It Is pointed
out, many celebrated women who liave
been separated by bitter family feuds.will
be brought together for the first time in
many yeans. The eldest sons and -daughters
of Peers will occupy separate places,
which Tather complicates "matters from a
family view. Among the guests not hav
ing admittance by right of rank, but
who were specially invited by the King
to attend the service is Airs. Arthur
Paget, daughter of the late Sirs. Paran
Stevens, of New York, and wife of Major
Grncral Paget, of the Scots Guards.
Mrs Paget will preside over a huge
coronation ball July 2, in aid of the
King's Hospital fund. It will be held at
the Crystal Palace, where 12,000 square
fpet will be laid out in parquet flooring,
he largest area. It Is said, ever laid
'own for dsneing. All the members of
te roval family are expected to be pres

ptars will take part In the programme,
which will include extracts from "Ixben
grin," "Siegfried," 'Tannhauser" and
I.ucIa di Lammermoor."
Among the ante-coronation festivities,
the Afccot race meeting bids fair to be the
most popular, though this year the King
will have a stand- to blmself. The rush
of applications for pdmlttance to the royal
enclosure, where King Edward formerly
watched the races, is unprecedented. The
Lord Chamberlain, the Earl of Clarendon,
with only 1500 tickets at his disposal, has
been obllgea to disappoint fhucjoreds,
among whom are many distinguished per
sons, who have previously been accus
tomed to mix in this exclusive gathering.
The price of tickets also has been raised
to 4 guineas.
"Almost h fairy city." is the way one
writer forecasts London's appearance dur
ing coronation week. Arches and festoons,
planned by municipal and artistic commit
tees, will be erected in every quarter of
the metropolis. The preparations for
these, however, are i any thing but fairy
like. Each week sees London more hid
eous wjth countless half-flnJshed stands,
many of thr.ni shutting out the light from
houses, and all reeking with the smell
peculiar to rain-soaked pine. In the maze
of stands going up around the houses of
Parliament and Westminster Abbey, 23
guineas are asked for seats.
Over 500 coronation bonfires already
have keen arranged for in the provinces.
A cunous precedent in celebrating King
Edward's crowning has been set by the
corporation of the City of Londpn, which
lias decided to make a personal gift of
5000 to the King to use as he sees fit.

ALL BUT THE PROCLAMATION.
Everything Has Been Practically
Settled In South Africa.
LONDON, May 24. The developments
in the South Africa peace negotiations to
day brought out all the details cabled to
the Associated Press. A member of the
government said today:
"You are perfectly correct in Insisting
that everything is practically settled and
that the war is at an end. It may be,
however, that several weeks will elapse
before a definite announcement can be
made. We want to give the Boer leaders
every chance In their conferences with
their followers, and that takes time."
A CAXDID CRITIC.
British General Denounced for
Blunders In the War,
TjONDON, May 24. The second volume
of the London Times, "History of the
War," wlilch has just appeared, is attract
ing unusiual attention because of Its scath
ing denunciation of British Generals and
the War Office. The criticism is given ad
dltiobal weight by the fact of Its appear
ing under the auspices of "The Thunder
er.'' No enemy of Great Britain could
more frankly denounce British "blunders.
Starting with General White's last fight
before ho withdrew to Ladysmlth, the au
thor says It was inxeallty a serious defeat
of infantry badly handled by the officer In
command, "who proved quite unfit to
grapple with the difficult situation in
which, largely by the mistakes of others,
he was placed." The cavalry was as bad
as the infantry, and the situation was only
saved by the heroism of the artillery. The
surrender of troops at Nicholson's Nek Is
pronounced as premature, "though np
more humiliating than many surrenders
which opcurred after Jt."
Passing to Stromberg, the writer de
scribes the succession of blunders which
Jed to the reverse a& "sheer mismanage
ment on the part cf General Gaiacre or
his staff."
Touching the crowning misfortune at
Colenso, the author says: "Just as in the
hour of battle. General Buller had failed
the men whom he led. so now. In the hour
of trial, he was to fall his country which
had entrusted the fortune of war Into his
hands. He utterly lost heart. Not only
did he despair of doing anything himself,
but he despaired for others."
Remembered Their College Days,
LONDON, May 24. A prh-ate letter re
ceived in London from Vreyheld, Trans
vaal, tells a curious .story of 'General
Botha's passing through there about a
month ago, when the peace conferences
commenced. The British commanding of
ficer went out to exchange courtesies with
the Boer commander, and, on being pre
sented to Botha's secretaries, found they
were Jacobus Dewet, who spent three
years at Oxford, and Louis Eslem, also
an Oxonian. Without waiting for formal
ities, both Boers asked in the same breath
and with evident anxiety: "Who won the
boat race?" referring to the annual boat
race between crews representing the Uni
versities of Oxford and Cambridge.
KILLED THE ROOSTER
And Inherited Property Which an
Eccentric Relative Left It.
LONDON, May 24. A wealthy woman
named Sllva recently died at Lisbon and
left her entire property to a rooster. She
was a fervid spiritualist, a believer in the
transmigration of souls, and Imagined
that the soul of her dead husband had en-
tered the rooster. She caused a special
fowlhouse tb be built and ordered her ser-
rants to pay extra attention to their
"roaster's" wants. The disgust of her
relatives over the will caused the story to
become public, and a lawsuit might haye
followed bad not one of the heirs adopted
the simple expedient of having the
wealthy rooster killed, thus becoming
himself next of kin.

Prince Henry Refnsed "to Receive s
German Deputation at Dublin.
LONDON. May 2i. The visit of Prince
Henry of Prussia to Dublin and his re
fusal to receive a deputation of Ger
mans, created a rumpus, it is said, which
shows no slgna of abating. The address
of the Germans included the signature of
Count von Stolberg, and two well-known
German artists, while the professor of
German at Trinity College, Dublin, acted
as chairman.
One of the delegation Is quoted as say
ing: 'One would naturally have expected
that, as in New York, one of the first
thoughts of the Prince and his captains
would have been to shake bands with
countrymen domiciled in Ireland."
The Irish Times, the Government organ,
expresses the hope that some satisfac
tory explanation will be forthcoming, for.
MR. CHAMBERLAIN AND
Mr, Chamberlain advocates free trade between the Philippine
Islands and the United States. Thla is another question on which
Mr. Chamberlain does not seem to be in entire accord with the party
to which he belongs. When the bill was pending in the Senate, pro
viding a tariff to pay the expense of maintaining government In the
Philippines, it provided that 75 per cent of the Dlngley duties should
be levied upon Philippine products coming into the United States.
Senator Foraker, a Republican Senator from Ohio, proposed "to
amend the provision by striking out '75" andJnsertlng "50," so that
one proviso of the Bill would read aa follows:
"Provided, that upon all articles the .growth or product of the
Philippine Archipelago, coming into the United States from the Phil
ippine Archipelago, there shall be levied, collected and paid only 50
per -cent of the rates of duty aforesaid."
On this amendment four Democrats only voted for, while every
other Democratic Senator present and voting voted "No." Among
those voting against thla. were Senator Turner, from Washington;
Senators Heltfeld and DuboS, from Idaho: Senator Rawlins, of Utah;
Senators Patterson and Teller, of Colorado every Democratic Sena-
tor west of the Missouri River. The fact that the bill provides for 75
per cent duty instead of 50 per 'cent depends largely upon the vote
of Democratic Senators. A majority of the- Republican Senators
voted for the Foraker amendment. An overwhelming majority of
the Democratic Senators voted against it,and it waa lost.
An interesting question, however, might be proposed to Mr. Cham
berlain. How would he maintain and pay the expenses of this gov
ernment in the Philippine Islands now? Not at some future time,
but at this time. The decision of the Supreme Court cut off the
revenues almost wholly. Ownership of property is unsettled. There
is no system of assessment and taxation. The Philippine Islands
knows no such system of taxation as that by which the people of
Oregon and other states and territories of the Union support their
government The only ones in vogue are remnants of the old Span
ish system. Under that revenue was raised largely by duties, upon
exports and imports. Internal revenue laws could oot be enforced,
taxes upon property qould not be collected. All of the revenue
every dollar of it derived from tariff taxes In the Philippine Islands
and upon Philippine gooda goes for the support of the Philippine
Government. The United States relinquishes the right that It ex
ercises in all of Its other territory of collecting internal revenue
taxea It relinquishes "the right to receive custom duties and put
them in the Treasury of the United States. ,
Will Mr. Chamberlain outline a tax system that he would have
us enforce now, and the methods that he would have us apply to
pay the expense of the Philippine Government? Or does he prefer
that the people of the Philippine Islands should be exampt from all
taxes, and that the expense of the government should be paid out of
;the Federal Treasury through the taxation of the people of the United
States? It is easy to find fault, Mr. Chamberlain. It is easy to
criticise. Give us your ideas of constructive legislation.
"on the face of It, the Prince's treatment
of his feller countrymen compares very
unfavorably with the almost undignified
affability he displayed during his visit to
the United States."
FOR COMMOX BATHIXG BEACH.
German Prudery Overcome by Loss
of Summer Patronage.
BERLIN, May 24. Seaside bathing in
Germany has hitherto required separation
of men and women. The authorities of
the various resorts, at a convention just
held, have decided to make German bath
ing more attractive by permitting the use
of a common beach, thus getting German
patronage which hitherto has been going
to popular Belgian and French resorts.
The lighter weeklies are making fun of
German prudery.
Defends the Triple Alliance.
BUDAPEST, May 24. At today's ses
sion of the Hungarian Diet, Premier Kolo
man de Sxell made a long speech In de
fense of the triple alliance. He said he
could not share in the view that the un
derstanding with Russia rendered the al
liance superfluous, but he thought farther
that It was the continuation of the alli
ance which promoted the entente with the
Russian Empire.
Replying to questions, the Premier said
It was untrue that at the conference at
Venice Signer Prlnettl, the Italian Min
ister of Foreign Affairs, and Count von
Bukrtv, the German Imperial Chancellor,
it had been determined to continue in
Its entirety the commercial treaties with
Italy, especially the clause relating to
wine duties. . The text of the treaty oe
tween the three powers forming the alli
ance would not be published. Premier De
Szell said, it having been mutually
agreed to maintain secrecy, regarding Its
details.
Natural Ac tins; Xot Successful.
BERLIN, May 24. Ernest von Wolzogen
has decided to abandon the theater to
which he has devoted two Winters to
representing the new school of natural,
unaffected acting, because the venture has
not been successful financially. Theatri
cal managers say he paid fancy prices,
giving actors who were worth H2- a week
five times that much. Von Wolzogen
having failed to .affect a change In. the
meager salaries on the German stage, will
now return to literature.
Prosdcated for Blasphemy.
BERLIN, May 21 The Saxon govern
ment is prosecuting a Lelpsic publisher
named Diedrlehes for blasphemy and de
faming churchly Institutions through the
publication of Count Tolstoi's answer to
the holy synod's excommunication. The
Indictment includes the translator, Di
rector Lowenfeld, of the Schiller Theater,
Berlin: The prosecution has aroused in
dignation and caused a movement look
ing to the abolition of the blasphemy law.

(Continued from First Pace.)
position to give In. The strikehas now
settled down to a grim, stern test of
strength.
The Board of Trade tried to make peace,
but got an immediate rebuff from the
mills. It proposed that each party to the
struggle name five men for a peace com
mittee and that the board also appoint
five. The object was to have a thorough
discussion of mutual grievances, and to
call a mas3 meeting of citizens to devise
means for composing the trouble. The
building trades Immediately took up with
the plan. But the mill-owners refused to
accept it "We have nothing to arbi
trate," they declared.
This declaration was Accepted by the
strikers as further evidence of unreason
ableness on the part of the other side.
Secretary Lewton said that If any of the
public had been impatient of the unions
before, this refusal could not fail to es
tablish the strikers In popular confidence.
The response of the mill-owners had the
additional effect of crystallzing the strik
ers in their conviction. The mill-owners de
clared that arbitration could be only one
sided In Its result; that arbitration car-
THE 'PHILIPPINE TARIFF
ti
ried with it inherently the promise of an
agreement; that they were perfectly wil
ling to enter into an agreement if it could
be made binding, but that the unions are
not recognized by law and therefore any
agreement would be unfair to the single
party who would be amenable to it.
After the Board of Trade's ineffectual
attempt to mediate, the mill-owners made
an official explanation of their reasons
for refusing to arbitrate. It is as fol
lows: Why They Will Xot Arbitrate.
"We represent a legitimate private busi
ness in the city, with large Investment
of capital, our own property, pay taxes
on it, and desire peaceably to conduct our
business and give employment to all men
who desire to work, whether they be
union or nonunion men. We wish to be
protected in this right, and if there is any
virtue in the laws of a country we ex
pect to receive this protection. Failing in
this, and If we are overborne by threats,
coercion. Intimidation and destruction of
our business, the mills will be closed.
"There Is no half-way ground, and noth
ing to arbitrate. Arbitration Implies that
there will be an award, and an award im
plies an agreement that can be enforced.
Upon the part of the unions there is no
one responsible who could legally be bound
to any award or agreement that might be
made. If the unions were Incorporated
with sufficient capital stock paid up to
make good their contracts, and if the
unions contracted directly with employers
with respect to the supply of men, legal
responsibility could be enforced.
"The question is, whether an owner has
the liberty to employ men whether they
belong to the union or not, and whether
an owner and employer can be permitted
to conduct his business in his own way
and pay the wages for the number of
hours that men are willing to accept, or
whether he must submit all these things
to an irresponsible committee of an irre
sponsible union; whether he can discharge
or employ any man without submitting
to the pleasure of this Committed every
detail of his business.
"The mill-owners have no quarrel with
the union, and do not insist that the
union men shall work in their mills. There
Is no lockout against union men. The
mills reserve the right to employ men,
pay them a wage to be agreed upon for a
time specified and to discharge men when
la their judgment their Interests require
It. No man has been discharged because
he was a union man, and no objection was
made to -any man joining or belonging to
any union or as many unions as he
pleased.
"The mill-owners deprecate the intem
perate and untimely threats made against
tho Industrial peace and business prosper
ity of this city, but these mill-owners and
the property are responsible forHhe con
duct of their business, pay all the hills,
give men employment, and nobody guar
antees that this business will be a success
or failure. In all competitive lines, other
than stock manufacturers, these mills
compete with the sawmills and pay from
25 per cent to SO per cent per day per man"
for the same work for 10 hours more than
the sawmill men receive. . Yet, the saw
mill men's union within two weeks has
demanded a fixed agreement for 12 months
for a 10-hour day. Substantially all the
mills In competition with the owners of
the present mills Involved in the difficulty
run 10 hours. Some new mills now being
erected in the city, as an advertising
proposition, and in brder to receive sup
port and sympathy, have advertised that
they wlli sign a nine-hour scale.
"This demand upon the part, of the
unions is dated January 23, 1502. It has
been under consideration for five months.
It has the appearance of being premedi
tated, and carefully planhed, and the his
tory of the successful strikes in the last
six months In the city Indicate that the
unions are determined to force every em
ployer to submit to union demands or go
out of business. This is the issue. ' It
must be met. There can be but one "re
sult. It is not for us to say what It
will be."
Union Mill tb Xbb Soon.
A hard problem for the unions to solve
is that of how to get building materials
that are not "unfair." In Vwo weeks they
say they will have a large union mill runs
nlng, the outpdt of which will enable
many men to work. The strike leaders
also say that they are perfecting plans to
bring In supplies from union mills out
side of Portland. This is one of their
threats against the local business.
A mill-owner last night laughed at this
effort of the unions. "Why, there are no
other so-called-union mills anywhere else
on the Coast than at Portland," he de
clared. "If they Import supplies, all the
stuff will be unfair, and the strikers will
be In a mess of consistency, to be sure.
But they won't bring in much. We have
received letters of sympathy from a hun
dred mills on the Coast. Ail these mills
have positively refused to ship to the
strikers here."
What Ahoat a Combination T
A rumor was going the rounds yester
day, fed by curbstone gossip, that the
lumber and planing mills and master
builders had formed a combination
against union men and union work. All
three parties to whlcn the combination
was Imputed denied any knowledge of it,
and some Inveighed against the credence
given to It; "It's news to me,'" exclaimed
a sawmill man. "It's all bosh," declared
an owner of a planing milL "W're npt
in with the mills," said J. B. Bridges,
with strong emphasis. "Our sympathies
rather go with the strikers. Wa think
they are entitled to a nine-hour day. We
have signed agreements with the unions,
have done so willingly, and have not
found It to our disadvantage. It Is stip
ulated that we shall receive six months'
notice of any proposed change of terms.
This gives us time to draw up contracts
so as to avoid loss. No, we haven't any
thing against the union men. We are all
for them-"
The master builders are discussing the
advisability of establishing a planing
mill of their own. So are the officers of
the Building Trades Council. A well
known citizen Is reported to be willing to
invest $20,000 in a mill, to be run accord
ing to union regulations.
"The strike has continued four days,"
said a contractor yesterday, "This means
a loss to the strikers in wages of fully
530,000. That amount of money could es
tablish and equip a mill."
The strike leaders are doing their best
to get more union mills. If they can get
new plants, they believe they can get
along without the stubborn mills.
Xo Change of Tactics.
It was reported yesterday that the
Building Trades Council might order the
unions back to work, and maintain only a
boycott against the "unfair" mills. Tho
officers of the council declare that noth
ing of the kind Is Included in their plans.
"Wo took this step advisedly," said one
of them. "Our line of march is fully
mapped out and we do not have to turn
back. We did not ask the Federated
Trades to join our strike, and In fact op
posed the order for a general strike. The
Federated Trades Voted to approve the
strike of the building trades and to ex
tend whatever financial aid was neces
sary. What more do we want?"
The lathers, sheet-metalworkers and
carpenters all held meetings yesterday
and resolved to stand by the Building
Trades Council. The leaders of the union
are alive to the necessity of keeping up
the enthusiasm of their men, and to that
end hold frenuent meetings of the unions.
For m. I.nnr. Hani Pnll. A
Only one permit for union work was
issued yesterday. It was for the Govern
ment. The plumbers have received per
mission to go ahead with any work that
is necessary for the public health. The
strikers were orderly. There was less
congestion of them on the streets, and a
consciousness seemed to be coming upon
them that the strike was settling down
to a long, hard pull. L. D. Reed, mem
ber of the Building" Trades Council, said
that fewer complaints had come in td
headquarters than on any previous day of
the strike.
LONDON PRESS CONMENT.
Sympathetic Sketches of the Career
of the Late Ambassador.
LONDON, Mby 24. "The empire loses
one of its first diplomats," is the West
minster Gazette's comment on the death
of Lord Pauncefote. "He filled many
posts and always with success," contin
ues this paper. "His stay in Washington
was prolonged because there was no one
in the diplomatic service to replace him
who had anything like his status, influ
ence or power for gobd. As the represent
ative of Great Britain in the United
States at the time of the Venezuelan
outbreak, in particular, it 4wlll be re
membered with what tact and judgment
he handled a situation which, In less
skillful hands, might have led to the most
deplorable results."
"History will probaDly do justice to
the tactful, conciliatory methods by
which Lord Pauncefote seconded the ef
forts of Lord Salisbury to secure an am
icable settlement," comments the St.
James Gazette, "of decidedly strained
relations."
The Pall Mall -Gazette also refers to tho
"brilliant Ambassador's adroit, tactful
steering through difficult straits, when tho
circumstances of Sackville's recall did not
tend to smooth the path of his successor,
and when there were several awkward
matters between the United States and
Great Britain which required judicious
handling," and says: "He was practical
and businesslike, had a great knowledge
of foreign affairs and an equally Inordi
nate capacity of hard work."
All the afternoon papers contain long,
sympathetic sketches of the career of
Lord Pauncefote.

Tired Women, Run Down,

If one were to ask all the nervous, fret

day after day, hardly able to keep on
their feet if a person were to ask them
what their troubio was. one would say
dyspepsia, another nervous prostration,
another female weakness, and so on.
The fact Is, however, that they nearly

Thousands of people have chronic ca

They realize that they are sick, but
they do not suspect that their disease la
chronic catarrh.
If they have catarrh of the stomach,
they call it dyspepsia; if they have gen
eral catarrhal debility, they call It nerv
ous prostration: if they have catarrh of
the liver or kidneys, they say they are
bilious or have kldnej. disease; and if
they have catarrh of the pcfvlc organs
they name It female weakness.
The truth Is, all these organs are sub
ject to catarrh, and thr land is full of

chronic catarrh in some stage or form of
some of these organs.
Women from all parts of the United

SECOND YEAR OF FAIR.

It puts upon ns, furthermore, a duty as
well as an dpportunlty. We owe It not
more to the interest of the state than to
Mr. Campbell and oher friends in the
railroad service, to spare no effort that
may serve to -contribute from our end of
the enterprise to make for its success. 1
urge this matter because it appears to me
that circumstances conspire to put before
us such a chance to recruit our population
from the best sources as we have not had
from the earliest times.
Just as soon as the railroad people shall
officially announce their plans we ought
to take steps to co-operate with them.
And it ought not to be exclusively a Port
land movement. Every district which
wants a share in the coming immigration
ought to be Invited to share In the work to
be done in connection with this project. If
the matter could be kept clean of politics
it would be well if the state would take
some part at least to the extent of con
tributing some part of the cost. This may
properly be discussed at a later time; but
the Initiative ought to be made before appealing-
to the Legislature. Personal and
private enterprise ought to supply the
organization, and the co-operating coun
ties ought to provide the necessary means.
The time for taking the matter up practi
cally is not here yet, but when it does
come there ought not to be one hour's
delay. If we don't take advantage of this

Gentlemen: My experience with Peruna has been such that I am
very glad Indeed to be able to recommend It. About two years ago
my health began to fall, I lost my appetite, had backache most of the
time, and any over-exertion would keep me In bed for a week or. more.
I needed a good tonic to bring me back to health and strength, but I
did not know which would be of benefit. Peruna was recommended as
a woman's friend, and such It proved to be, for six bottles have been
used and I am restored to health." NELLIE LINDSAY,

were worth a king's ransom to me. I talk
