FOUGHT WITH THE BOERS
TXIEXGO'T-.EEECTED TO TOE BRIT-
Now Colonel Lynch la on rlal
in an Englisli Court for High,
Treason. ""
LONDON, June 14. Bow-Street Police
Court -was crojtvdod this morning when
the Investigation into the charge, of high
treason "brought against Colonel Arthur
alynch, formerly of the Boer Army, -was
begun. Lynch, who was elected member
of Parliament for Galway in 'November
last, was arrested at "New Haven "Wed
nesday upon landing from France. 3Irs.
Lynch and other friends of tho-accused
were present. The Solicitor-General, Sir
Edward Carson, in openlngMor the prose
cution, all.ud.od briefly to Colonel Lynch's
Australian- -birth, his residence in Paris
and his departure thence to the Trans
vaal in January, 1300. . ,
"The case for the prosecution," -saidi
Sir Edward, ''will be that, onarrlvlng in
South Africa, Lynch took service with
the Transaal Government, raised a regi
ment of which he acted as commander, to
fight in behalf of the Boers, and aptlvely
fought against General Buller's , opera
tions. "Lynch was in Pretoria January 15. UOQ,"
the solicitor continued, "and wrote the'
Transvaal authorities, notifying them of
his desire to take up arms. January IS he
signed a field cornet's certificate., ' de
scribing himself as an Irishman, a British
subject, and born in Australia, but de
claring his willingness to fight for the
South African Republic In order to main
tain and defend its independence. Lynch
also took the oath,of allegiance as cfull
burgher, the certificate enabling hlni to
do so, as well as4-to accept a commission
from the Transvaal Government. Lynch
then raised the 60-called Irish Brigade,
Joined tho invading army .in Natal, and
issued an appeal signed 'Arthur Lynch,
Joionei insn .Brigade,' inviting Irishmen
to assist the two -republics."
The Hon. Charles Russell, second son
of the late Lord Chief' Justice, Baron
Russell of Klilowen. in behalf of the de
fendant, said that Lynch had faced the
proceedings like a man. "What he had
done had been done openly, and he "de
sired to facilitate the inquiry as much as
possible.
After the police had furnished evidence
of the prisoner's arrest he was remanded
to June 21. During the course of this
evidence Detective Inspector Walsh testi
fied to finding in Colonel Lynch's pocket
a visiting card of Hamilton Holt, "In

MISTAKES OF DUBOIS.
Does the Cause of His Supposed
Friends Xotliiiif? liut Harm.
New York Journal of Commerce.
Speaking in the Senate last week. Mr.
Dubois, of Idaho, developed a rather re
markable argument In opposition to our
present policy in holding the Philippine
Islands. Mr. Dubois evidently felt that
aspersions upon the conduct of our troops
hardly go to the root of the matter, and
that it was necessary to give the anti
imperialist argument a more general ap
plication. Recognizing the interest which
Is now felt in the expansion of our
foreign trade, he made the following
charge:
If it was porfectly manifest that we would
b greatly injured commercially by continuing
the policy marked out by the majority, if wa
were absolutely sure that retaining the Phil
ippine Inlands would entail great ahd constant
ly increasing loss to our own people,. we could
find some way to tet go. ... I am so cer
tain that ... the development of the Phil
ippine Islands by our capital will work great
hardship and Inflict serious damage to our own
industries and laborers that I shall have tho
temerity to attempt to prove it.
Following out this attempt to show that
the Idea of trade advantages arising from
our relations with the Philippines is fal
lacious, Mr.Dubols very shortly became
entangled in tho meshes of his own net.
He was drawn farther and farther away
from the subject with which he had un
dertaken to 'deal and he became involved
in the general questions of international
trade.
As nearly as can bo gathered from the
argument presented by Mr. Dubois his
fear is that under the sharp spur of
American enterprise and activity , the
Eastern nations hitherto so slothful will
be aroused- to unprecedented activity.
With a fertile soil, with a climate of mar
velous beneficence, and with vast.areas of
land yielding themselves readily to capi
talistic exploitation, the groundwork for
an Immense prosperity is already pre
pared. Imagining that Improved ma
chinery should be Introduced, and that
Immense supplies of "cheap labor" should
be brought under the directing power of
American business ability, Mr. Dubois
struggled madly with the old nightmare of
dread that some part of tho world would
shortly become so prosperous and success
ful that prosperity and success for other
regions would bo a practical impossibil
ity. "ThQre Is not a question in my
mind," he exclaimed, "that China and the
Philippines, when the one Is aroused and
the other exploited, will be as serious
competitors to our cotton-raleers of the
South and manufacturers of cotton goods
In the New England states as to our cane
producers of the South and beet sugar
raisers of the West. ... It alarms me,
even Jf It-makes no impression on my
Republican friends, to contemplate that
they will produce woolen goods, cotton
goods and other articles which they will
sell in our own markets because their la
bor will be so cheap that we cannot com
pete with them even when they pay the
cost of transportation."
The speaker should evidently have lived
during the early 18th century, at a time
when thejv colonial theory was reaching
maturity. The danger arising from the
prosperity of other parts of the world then
caused a great deal of anxiety to early
mercantilist writers and kept statesmen
busy contriving plans to prevent the
growth of manufacturing in their colonial
possessions. It was statesmen of the Du
bois type who devised the -system of Jeg
lslatlon by which any real advance in In
dustry was prohibited to the American
colonies in order that this-contlnent might
be kept as an agricultural region which
would supply 'England with raw material
and take from her her surplus manufac
tures. Mr. Dubois, however, finds himself
saddledwlth a double burden pfanxlety
since the United States Is at present not
only a manufacturing but also an agricul
tural country, so that In order to preserve
our interetss from Phillnnlne competition
1f would, according' to" Ms theory,"be ncc:J
CSSary to Tirevpnt ncrrlriilt-ural ntrTirIse I
essary to prevent agricultural enterprise
as well as manufacturing in the archipela
go, or at least to postpone If as long as
possible an extremity of fear into which
the statesmen of the ISth century were not
betrayed. -i- . -
Economic fallacies .are peculiarly tena
cious of life. They have to "be killed over
and over again. Tet It ls disappointing
to find the old mercantile theory which
has been regularly done to death at'Inter
vals during the past 200 years reappear
ing "in a serious debate Jn our highest
legislative body. True there have been
symptoms of the spread iZ the mercantile
fallacy for some time past. The feare en
tertained in some quarters that European
nations would not be ablo tojroduce any
thing because they would be -undersold by
Americans, the dread that our own, pro
ductive power would speedily become o
great as to overload us with a quantity of
unsold goods of which we could not dis
pose unless we Eomehow opened foreign
markets without admitting the goods of
others to our own -markets, were nlready
familiar. They are 'now capped by the
similar fear that we, in turn, are likely to
be -"undersold" by the future capitalists
of the Philippines, who. producing large
quantities of- goods with the aid of the
much-talked-of "cheap .labor" will speed
ily render it imposs'lble for us to do busi
ness on our own ground, since "we can
not compete with them even when they
pay the cost of transportation.
For mental indigestion of this type there
la nothing that would be so helpful as a
wholesome dose of economic reasoning.
Adam Smith, a century and a quarter ago,
effectually disposed of the notion 'that the
wealth of a country and Its success In
trade would be greater In proportion to
the.po'erty of Its neighbors. J. S. Mill
struck down the Allacy that International
trade is a. one-sided bargain In which a
single party gets all the advantage. J. E.
Calrnee laughed out of court with a few
pointed paragraphs the fear of being "un
dersold," since no man's ambition is Unf
iled , to merely "underselling" his neigh
bor, and no man, "however "cheap" his 'la
bor may be, will voluntarily make it any
cheaper than circumstances compel. Presi
dent McKinley, tariff advocate and 'ex
treme believer In restriction of markets
and protection of labor as he was, him
self expressly repudiated the idea that
the poverty of some nations implies wealth
to others by admitting in his last utter
ance that we cannot forever sell ' to all
the world and never buy, and that inter
national trade of a. necessity takes place
on such terms as ito result beneficially to
both parties. If one nation has an abun
dant quantity of the goods that are want
ed by the" other. If, moreover, the labor
cost of those goods has been low, then It
must- necessarily follow from the law of
supply and demand that the exchange will
be more helpful not merely to the owner
of the cheaply produced goods, but also
to the person with whom trade takes
place than would have, been the case had
the goods been obtained at greater sac
rifice. In this whole matter of International
trade It is time that -we talked senslbly
about "over-production." The attempt to
lift ourselves in the air by tugging at our
boot-straps is out of date. Mr. Dubois'
argument is of a kind from whose effect
his associates- should earnestly pray to be
delivered.
COURT-MARTIAL ORDERED

teenth Cavalry.
WASHINGTON, June 14. By direction
of the President, a general court-martial

Philippine Streams Used for Drink
ing; Are Polluted.
WASHINGTON. June 14. An alarming
situation with regard to the epidemic of
cholera In the Philippines is sent out in a
report received by ex-Surgeon-General
Forwood from Lieutenant-Colonel Heinz
man, at present in charge of the medical
department of the Army In the islands.
The appearance of the disease in Manila
in March Is attributed in some quarters
to vegetables coming into the Islands
from Infected Chinese ports, and In others
to the drinking of Paslg River water,
foul with the sewage of tho city.
Colonel Hclnzman says tho number of
points attacked by the epidemic and the
consequent infection of any streams which
are universally used for drinking and
bathing, and to which all foul matter and
garbage finds their way, make probable a
large number of deaths before the rains,
which ended the two great epidemics In
tho 'SOs. occur. The Army, he says, la
much better protected than the native or
than civil Americans in the islands, because-
of the care which Is exercised In
supplying good food and water.
In Manila alone a total, of 277 cases,
with 215 deaths, had occurred up to April
15, the date of the report, with 453 cases
and SOS deaths outside the city.

SERVED UXDER CAPT. LAMSOJT.
Cnpt. "W. G. Morris, of Chicago, Toole
Part In Capture of Xevr Orleans.
Among the prominent delegates to the
A. O. U. W. convention is Captain Wil
liam G. Morris, a past supreme master
of the order. Captain Morris Is from
Chicago, and there bears the distinction
of being one out of only threo In all
Chicago who were members of Farra
gut's fleet. Ho was on officer of Farra
gut's fleet In the capture of New Orleans
In 1852, and later under the command of
Captain (then lieutenant) R. H. Lam
son, of this city,.
Captain Morris remembers clearly the
events of the war, and tells some Inter
esting stories concerning them.
"Tho capture of Hill's Point Battery
In 1S53," said he. "was effected by Lieu
tenant Lamson's own plans, and gave
him a reputation second to none, and for
which he received the gratitude of the
Navy Department.
"At that time ho was flag lieutenant
of Admlrai S. P. Leo's fleet, and when
General Loogstreet made an attempt to
cross the Nansemond river and, capture
Suffolk and threaten Norfolk he was as
signed by his chief to command all the
gunboats that were to assist General
Peck in preventing Longstreet from car
rying out his design. The campaign con
tinued for nearly a month. Fifteen thou
sand Union men were arrayed against
27,000 rebels, and the brilliant event of
the defense of the river and the final
capture or Hill's Point Battery was ef
fected by Lieutenant Lamson's own plans,
aided by his men and a small detachment
of General Peck's army.
"At that time I was ensign and execu
tive officer of the steamer.Coeur de Leon,
and was uponTier hurricane deck when
the pilot house was shot away and Pilot
William Ayler killed. I at once took the
pilot's place, and under a shower of shot
from the. batteries and a heavy fire from
the supports, the Fourth Texas Sharp
Shooters, within 100 yards of whom we
passed, carried the ship out of danger.
Upon the recommendation of Captain
Lamson I was promoted and assigned to
the command of the Coeur dc Leon, and
remained In command until the close of
the war, serving up to 1S6S.
"I have never seen Captain Lamson
since that eventful campaign, more than
39 years ago, but look forward to a meet
ing with him before I return to my home
in Chicago.'
Captain Morris Is one of the old mem
bers of the A. O. U. W., having been
In the order since 1S76.
IS AX ARAB Jl WHITE MAXT
Grand Lodge A. O. U. IV. Is Consider,
injr the Question.
A largo part of yesterday's proceedings
In tho Supreme Lodge, A. O. U. W., con
sisted of a discussion of the question
whether the supremo master has the pow
er to approve a law unless the law has
been approved by the law committee. The
discussion, pro and .con, lasted over three
hours. The law committee submitted two
reports, the majority report holding that
the supreme master has not the power
referred to. The minority report, holding
the other view, was adopted.
An Arab having applied for admission
to the A. O. U. W., the question was
raised in a grand lodge whether an Arab
la a white man. within the meaning of
the regulations of the order. The supreme
master held that such a man is white, and
the question Is now in the hands of the
law committee for consideration. The
question whether a halfbreed Indian is a
white person has been answered in the
negative, and the ruling is now before'the
law committee.
The ladies of the W. of W. having In
vited the Supreme Lodge, A. O. U. W., to
participate In a picnic today, question
was raised whether the rules of the or
der do not prohibit Sunday picnics. It
was held that Sunday picnics are pro
hibited, and no formal acceptance of the
Invitation will be made.
A. O. V. W. Notes.
Rev. C. S. Curamlngs, " representative
from Maine, opened the Supreme Lodge
with prayer yesterday. He Is a candidate
for Sheriff at Auburn, Me.
On motion of Wallace, of Kansas, all
business has been transacted under work
man degree, so that the meetings are
open to all members of the order.
Judging by the present rate of transact
ing business, the representatives are gen
erally of the opinion that the -Supreme
Lodge will not conclude its labors before
Saturday evening.
The Seattle lodges, A. O. U. W., have in
vited the Supreme Lodge to visit them on
the return East, and it Is promised that
300 candidates will be Initiated on that
occasion. The Northern Pacific has of
fered to hold the train from 3 P. M. until
11 P. M. If desired. No decision in the
matter has been reached.
PRESS CUBAN RECIPROCITY
Plan to Get Bill Up Immediately
After Isthmian Canal.
WASHINGTON. June 14. The present
plans of the Senatorial supporters of
Cuban reciprocity are to press the ques
tion to an Issue next week. This was the
result of the conferences held today and
yesterday. The Republican members of
the committee on Cuban relations will
meet either Monday or Tuesday and final
ly agree upon the exact terms of thd bill
to be reported as a substitute for the pub
lic building bill. The measure thus agreed
upon will be reported-to the Republican
caucus to be held Tuesday or Wednesday,
and If tho caucus Indorses the measure
It then will be brought before a meeting
of the full committee on Cuban, relations
and reported to the Senates The desire is
to have all this done by the time the
isthmian canal bill is disposed of on
Thursday, so that the reciprocity bill may
be given the first place in tho order of
business.
Tho reciprocity advocates still profess
the utmost confidence In their ability to
pass through the Senate any bill that may
be recommended by the committee and
caucus. They count largely upon the un
willingness of Republican members to
align themselves rtrictly with the opposi
tion against the bill that has been made a
party measure by the President's message,
and there are indications that at least in
some Instances this prognostication will
prove sound. The critical point will come
upon the acceptance of the House bill,
with its amendments, for the removal of
the differential duty on refined sugar.
The beet sugar Republicans are all pro
tectionists, and there has been from the
beginning a division as to the expediency
of adopting a policy looking to the aboli
tion of this duty. This opposition was
evidenced in Thursday's beet sugar con
ference, but the determination to stand
by the House bill as amended was secured
largely upon the understanding that such
course would inevitably result in defeat
of all legislation. Recent developments
lead to the conclusion that if any con
siderable number of Republicans should
adhere to the determination to vote with
the Democrats to support the House bill,
it would pass the House. "
There would then bo no chance for a
conference, and the bill would then go to
the President, who, it is expected, would
attach his signature and thus make a law
of the bill, with the Morris amendment
included. This provision would, of course.
affect the beet sugar Interests equally
with the trust In proportion with the ex
tent of their refining Industry, and Is not
desired. The beet sugar refiners say they
would lose about $500,000 annually, while
tho cane sugar refiners would lose $6,
000.000. but they argue that tho cano sugar
refiners would still have an advantage in
the reduction on Cuban raw sugar. They
also hesitate to violate the principle of
protection.
None of the beet sugar Republicans has
gone so far as to announce his non-adherence
to Tuesday's areument. but their
discussion of the phase of the question
has given hope to the reciprocity advo
cates and lends color to their claim that
In the- end they will secure a Republican
vote sufficiently largo for their purpose.
General Deficiency Bill Completed.
WASHINGTON, Juno 14. Tho general
deficiency bill, the last of the Important
appropriation measures, was completed by
the House committee on appropriations

Fill a bottle of common glass with your
water and let It stand 24 hours; a sedi
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition of the kidneys; If It stains the

frequent desire to pass It, or pain In the
back Is also convincing proof that the kid

WHAT TO DO.
There Is comfort In the knowledge so
'often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, tho great kidney and bladdor rem
edy, fulfills every wish In curing rheuma
tism, pain In the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of tho urinary
passage. It corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain In -passing It. or
bad effects following use of liquor, wlno
or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the ex
traordinary effect of Swanp-Root Is soon
realized. It stands the highest for Its
wonderful cures of tho most distressing
cases. If J-ou need a medicine you should
have the best. Sold by druggists In 50c

A Few Observations by One on Both
Sides.
PORTLAND, June 12. (To the Editor.)
During the past year the writer made
an extended trip through the Atlantic
States and Canada, and I was solicited to
distribute literature relating to the re
sources of Oregon, especially of Linn
County, and got pretty well loaded with
such matter when I started from Portland,
all of which was distributed, together
with such humble efforts as I was able
to make to Interest people to settle in
Oregon. I was also honored with a com
mission as one of the State Board of Im
migration. I hope then I may not be con
sidered meddlesome In publicly stating
some observations regarding the present
strike in Portland among the builders.

Of the hundreds of cases of asth

catarrhal diseases treated and cured
at the Copeland Instltne during the
past 10 years, under the Inexpensive

then the worker has the right to consider

does look to the writer that the men -who

fairly and discuss the situation and show
them that tho mill cannot run at a profit,

of his earnings can lay the samo aside,
and in duo time he can own his proportion,
of a plant. Then he and his fellow work
ers can work a3 few or as many hours

as fair returns as the present method of
investing in the "walking delegate," and
supporting "jaw-bone mechanics."

on tho part of both sides, instead of ill
