4 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND, AUGUST 17, 1902. BOERIEADERS IN ENGLAND BOTHA, DEWET AND DELAREY RE CEIVE A WARM. RECEPTION. Main Object of Tour Is to Collect Honey tor the Families of Burst ers "Who Died la War. SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. IS. Generals Botha, Dewet and Delarey arrived here this morning and met with a great recep tion both, from Government officials and the public The Boer Generals looked well and evidently were m-rch pleased at tho heartiness of the -welcome accorded them. Soon after landing they boarded the steamship Nigeria, where Joseph Cham berlain, the Colonial Secretary; Earl Roberts and General Lord Kitchener greeted them. They were also introduced to Mrs. Chamberlain and Lady Roberts, with whom they chatted for eomc time. Official arrangements had been made to permit the Generals to witness the naval review, but after a conference with Abram Fischer, the ex-Boer delegate, who came from The Hague, it was an nounced that they Intended to proceed di rect to London in order to reach Holland as speedily as possible. The Generals go to Holland to pay their last respects to the memory of General Lucas Meyer; who died of heart disease on August 8. General Dewet, In conversation here, -confirmed the statement that he and his companions will visit the United States before returning to South Africa. LONDON, Aug. 16. The Boer Generals reached London In the course of the after noon and were loudly cheered in the streets. Asked why they had declined the government's Invitation to witness the na val review, the visitors remarked that they were "too tired after the long war and needed a rest." It Is still uncertain whether or notvthey will return to Cowes to see the King. Tho scene at the railroad station on the arrival of the Boers was remarka ble. An enormous crowd gave them a welcome as hearty as that given to Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener when they arrived her from South Africa; Shouts of "Good old Dewet," "Our friends, the enemy" and "Brave soldiers all" were frequently heard amidst salvos of .cheers. General Dewet was fairly cornered by a mob and had to be rescued by the po lice, who by sheer- force cleared a line of retreat for him. General Dewet's secretary tonight stated that the Boer Generals had accepted an imitation to visit King Edward at Cowes tomorrow. After that, he said, the Gener als expected to give out a statement of their views and plans. The main object of their tour was the collection of a fund for tho families of Boers who died In behalf of their country. Ho added that a circular would be drafted clearly stating the Boer case to the British public . IMMIGRANT FINNS. May Be Picked Ont From Other Im migrants by Their Cleanliness. New York Tribune. "Did you ever notice tho Finns among the immigrants who land here?" asked one of the Government officials at the Barge Office at tho Battery the other day of a ship news reporter. "T have never been able to pick them out from the others," said the newspaper man. "Well," said the official, pointing to a family of father and mother, with three children, straggling up the street under tremendous bundles of baggage balanced on their heads, "those are Finns. The mother and two daughters, as you sec, wear shawls for hats, and the men rough cloth caps; but what distinguishes them most from the Immigrants from Southern Europe is their cleanliness." "They are a sturdy-looking folk," eald the' newspaper man, "and it would be in teresting to get them to talk of their home, if they could only speak English." "I met a Finn not long ago," Interposed the immigrant officer, "who could speak fairly good English, and he spoke very intelligently. He told me that he was from Viborg, which is Just over the bor der line between Russia proper and Fin land. He said that Viborg was about an hour's ride on a steam train from St. Pe tersburg, and that because 'of the much cheaper living in Finland many of the business men of St Petersburg made Vi borg their home, and traveled, back and forth every day. The railroads belong to the government, and fares aro low. "When I asked him the reason why liv ing in Finland was lower than in Russia, he said it was because Finland enjoyed practically free trade. Cigars, he said, were one-fourth the price in Finland that they were In Russia. Foodstuffs were somewhat lower, too, he added, for the reason that Finland, despite the fact that It is one-sixth water and the rest rock, produces through the energy of its people an abundance of agricultural products. "The people, he' said, all went to school, and he did not know a single person in his town of Helslngfora the caDltal of Fin land, and a town of about 0,000 lhhabl- iuiiu, who was wnac we woum call illit erate. "When I asked him why he left such a quiet and secluded country for the turmoil of American life, he said with consider able feeling: " 'You are free; we are not.' But he would not discuss the relations of the rul ing power toward his native land, further than to say: " 'The Russian flag floats over our forts. Our young men must Join her armies. We are a peaceful folk, and love the arts of peace, and many of us believe that perhaps America will be more a home "for us than the country' of our forefathers.' POISON IN MEDICINES. London Alarmed by Sale of Danger ons Cares. Pall Mall Gazette. It Is generally supposed that each sale of such drugs as morphia or strychnia is registered Ay the chemist In a book kept for (that purpose, tho buyer's signature and ' address are taken, and so forth. These formalities are no doubt observed If a scheduled poison be asked for under Its proper name. Caveat emptor Is a good maxim; here tho seller must also beware. As a rule he takes some pains to ascer tain the bona fides of his customer. But there are many nostrums containing pois on, so-called patent medicines, which are easily obtainable; Blank's syrup, essence, or sedative mixture relies entirely upon its poisonous constituents to produce the desired effect, and it can be purchased without question at any drug store. Al though the chemist may refuse to sell a grain of morphia without a prescription, he will readily hand over a bottle of somebody's patent pain destroyer, know ing full well that this contains a large quantity of that same drug. Can there be a better example of straining at a gnat and swallowing a cameL A case In point occurred not long since. In this instance an American compound much in use was purchased, and an over dose taken with fatal effect It was proved at the Inquest that each fluid dram of this mixture contained: Chloral hydrate, 15 grains; bromide of potassium, 15 grains; extract of cannabis indlca, 1-8 grain, and extract of hyoscyamus, 1-8 grain. Four hundred and eighty grains of chloral In that four-ounce bottle; suffi cient to kill half a dozen men. This was a secret remedy, sealed with a govern ment patent medicine stamp. The chem ist did not know" until afterward that it was anything but a harmless mixture. In a trade price list recently issued by a wholesale Arm of druggists' sundries men there are no less than 221 patents containing poisons mentioned In the pois on schedule of the pharmacy act It is safe to say that all of these preparations may be bought for the asking any day In London. The law for regulating tho sale of poisons Is clear enough; the poisons mentioned in part l;of the scheduled list must not be sold unless the purchaser is known to the seller. A full entry of the transaction must be entered in a special book, and the article properly labeled. The poisons In part 2 of the lists need only be labeled. These regulations are not complied with In the selling of poison ous proprietary medicines. The revenue derived from the sale of patent medicine stamps exceeds $250,000 per annum. A threepenny stamp must be affixed to an article of the value' of 1 shilling a 2-ehllllng stamp for a 10-shlIllng value, and so on upward. On each one is printed, "This stamp Implies no .govern ment guarantee." Some people read this warning and understand It, but the ma jority do not; they have a mistaken Idea as to the Importance of this little pink inland revenue label, and actually believe .that the government is in some way re sponsible for the medicine. .If results aro unsatisfactory, it is likely that they are indignant with the powers that be for so misleading them. Cures come in ever-Increasing numbers from France, America and Germany, and the English retail druggist is unacquaint ed with their composition. At best he has but a vague idea; he cannot therefore in struct bis customers as to their use, and when the nostrum is ordered as a pre scription such interference would be re sented by both doctor and, patient Medical men are in some measure re sponsible for the popularity of these nos trums. Instead of .writing a prescription containing half a dozen ingredients to be dispensed secundum artexn, they frequent ly prescribe one of these compound pro prietary medicines. In tho first place, the word "patent" is a misnomer; no visit is paid to the patent office, no specification or anything of the kind is submitted. Any ignorant person with a fad or an idea of making money is at liberty to exploit his own secret remedy, harmless or oth erwise. He may fill pjlll boxes with dried peas, wrap these up neatly, affix a pat ent medicine stamp, and advertise them, say, as a cure for corns, one to be swal lowed three times a day. The demand for these pills would be proportionate to the money spent in Judiciously advertising them. To remedy this state of things It has been suggested that the formulas of all secret remedies should be sent to a gov ernment expert for examination and re port, while those compounds containing poisonous drugs must be put up in col ored bottles of a distinctive shape, and the nature of their active ingredients plainly indicated in red letters on a label marked "poison." MASON-DIXON STONES. Some of the Missing; Boundary Mon uments Discovered In a Church. Philadelphia Times. A number of the missing boundary Btones of the Mason and Dixon Jino which have been lost for a number of years have been located near Elkton, Md., and rop-' resentatives of the United States Coast Survey have taken legal steps to recover some of the missing and historic stones. Three of the stones are In a church and one in tho cellar of an old store. Tho one in the latter place was put thero more than 30 years ago. The Mason and Dixon line runs from the Delaware boundary line of Maryland to the corner .where Maryland, West Vir ginia and Pennsylvania Join. It is about 200 miles in length, and was run between the years of 1752 and 176S by the two Eng lish engineers. Mason and Dixon. When the line was originally laid stone monu ments" were placed at 'intervals of Ave miles as 'far as the Blue Ridge Mountains. Beyond this the line was marked simply by heaps of stones. The General Assembly of Maryland of 1900 passed a law authorizing the resurvey of tho line. The act provided for the co operation of the State of Pennsylvania, which will share half of tho expense of tho relocation of such of the old monuments as may be found, and the placing of new monumejnts where none at present exist "Where the old monuments cannot be found the United States jCoast and Geo detic Survey, which is co-operating with the two states In the running of the line, has advised, the placing of iron posts. The survey along the northern border of Cecil County, Maryland, was completed tho past month and the stones reset. Races at Bntte. BUTTE, Aug; 16.

The British steamship Polamhall will load grain at Portland next month for the United Kingdom. She Is a new steel vessel, having been built only las year. She has a carrying capacity of about G000 tons. The charterers of the steamship are Kerr, GIfford & Co., and the rate at which she is engaged is understood to be 26s Gd. The vessel Is now at sea between Singa pore and Vancouver, B. C She sailed from Barry May 17 for Port Arthur, Java and other Oriental ports. Her dimensions are: Length, 36 feet; beam, feet; depth, 19.4 feet She will probably take away a cargo of new-crop barley. . The engagement of tho Polamhall and of the British ship Crown of Denmark were the only grain charters reported last week - BRYAN'S DAUGHTER. EXCEEDINGLY POPULAR Miss Ruth Bryan, who has grown into a ydUng woman, attracted a great Seal of- attention while in the East with her father on his recent New England trip. Ia New Tork she kept up a running Are of conversation with her father's visitors. Miss Bryan is now 18. for loading at this city. The rate of the Crown of Denmark is understood to be 26s 3d for South Africa or United King dom loading. Little" or no grain charter ing has been going on on the Coast in the past week. One exporting firm secured the two ships engaged at Portland. At San Francisco a Bhlp Is reported to have been engaged at 27s 6d a high rate In view of existing market conditions. At Puget Sound two disengaged vessels are in port the British ship Carnavan Bay and the British bark Alice A. Leigh. The two dis engaged ships at Portland, the Dimsdale and tho Euphrosyne, were not offering very strenuously last week. Their owners were holding out for a rate over 27 shil lings, which exporters were not disposed to give. At San Francisco freights are much depressed, 23s 9d being about the top rate offered and 253 asked. Barley ton nage Is In demand at full rates.

The disengaged ship Dimsdale will fin ish unloading coal about Tuesday. Tho British ships Eskasonl and Sierra Estrella, bound for South Africa with grain, are anchored tn the stream. The Eskasonl repleted her crew yesterday. The German steamship Elba moved from Albini to Greenwich dock yesterday, to receive cargo. The Forest Home Is receiving a deck load of lumber at the North Pacific Mills. She will be ready to sail to Chinese porta this week. The John A. Is loading lumber at the North Pacific Mills, for California. The Amaranth Is loading plies for China at Weidlefs. SHIPPING MEN" PROTEST. Object to Having; Government Trans ports In Coal-Carryinc Trade. NEW YORK. Aug:. 16. Local shlnn'mr Interests who are complaining of the competition of the Government In the coastwiso coal-carrying trade will bring tho matter to the attention of the New York Maritime Exchange, and it is quite likely that the association will make a formal protest against the Government's practice of using former war transports. Instead of patronizing private enterprise in carrying coal to various naval stations along the coast says the Journal of Commerce. President C. B. Parsons, of the Mari time Exchange, said the matter will be taken up if presented to the exchange In proper form, and added: "I have talked with parties directly affected by the Government's practice, and the situation, as I understand it is this: The steamships now being used as colliers were purchased for use as trans ports during the war with Spain. They aro foreign-built boats, and are. not in the strictest sense under th6 American flag. If sold they must revert to their former flag. They were purchased. In an emercency. hut that emergency has passed. Our laws prevent 'private Inter ests from employing fbrelgn-bullt vessels In tho coastwise trade, and while the Government of course. Is licensed to do things which individuals cannot' it does not appear to me to be good, sound pol icy fpr It to engage in enterprises such as this In direct competition with and to the detriment of private business con cerns. If the coal was being shipped, say to the Philippines, the case would be different" ... Mr. Parsons attention was called to the argument advanced by some that this coal-carrying- business of the Govern ment is not really coastwise trade In the ordinary sense; In .other words, the Gov ernment colUers are not engaged In coastwise traffic generally, but aro sim ply carrying Government supplies for naval stations. In reply to this argu ment Mr. Parsons said that it was "trade"; that If the Government vessels did not carry the coal It would mean Just so much "trade" to private shipping Interests. CONFIDENCE IS BALDWIJT. Polar Explorer Gets Letter of Credit and News of Relief Expedition. NEW YORK.' Aug. 15. William Zeigler, who has financed the Evelyn B. Baldwin polar exploring expedition, sent a cable gram of Instructions today to Mr. Baldwin to acquaint him with the directions given to William S. Qhamp, in chargo of the relief and exploring party, which might be termed an auxiliary expedition. The fact that a letter of credit was cabled showed that Mr. Zeigler has not lost con fidence In Mr. Baldwin. The cablegram. In full, reads as follows: "Baldwin, Tromsoe. Champ in chargo of Frlthjof with relief and exploring party fully equipped, had Instructions, In case of failure to meet Baldwin or his failure to reach destination, to Winter in Frans josefland. and to' make indenonrtpnt- rtnah ' in Spring of 1903, Baldwin with America 10 reium to JSTansjosefland to meet Champ's returning party, and.

The British ships Euphrosyne and Brambletyo are unable to pass up be yond the mouth of the Willamette River on account of the shallow condition of the channel at that place. The Euphro syne has been their several days. The city dredge Is working to clear out the channel, and the ship will probably get by Tuesday or" Wednesday. Tho mini mum depth of water at tho mouth of the river is 20 feet and tho Euphrosyne draws 22& feet The river is about six feet above low-water mark, and as pilots count on a three-foot tide, the channel at that place has a low-wa,ter depth now of about 17 feet There Is a general opinion among ship ping men that the city dredge should have been sent to the mouth of the Will amette sooner, instead of being kept on the channel In front of Oceanic dock. The dredge will, however, have the chan nel open In a few days. """ Astoria Teachers Elected. ASTORIA, Aug. 16. (Special.)

Her cargo con sists chiefly of steel rails for the City & Suburban and Goldendale Railways. Sho has about 1000 tons of steel rails for the Portland Company. She sailed from Ant werp January 10, and her delay has held back reconstruction work of the City & Suburban Street Railway Company's tracks. It is very much desired that she arrive soon, in order that tho rails may be laid before vWlnter sets In. Imme diately on her arrival tho reconstruction work will begin.

Sportsmen Should Be Able to Mount Specimens. New York Sun. The sportsman who joins some knowl edge of taxidermy to his gun and rod ex pcrtness has a valuable arrow in his quiver. It is worth a great deal to man to be able to mount artistically the- prize specimens which he takes him Belf. and even a passing acquaintance with taxidermy will teach him a great deal about nature which would be by him otherwise unlearned. It is a difficult art to master, but its rudiments are easily acquired, and the rudiments will enable a man to do work which is pleasing to himself and friends. The person able to preserve and mount with wings and beaks outspread a half dozen humming birds on a single flower stem is a taxidermist, but there is great difference between mounting hum ming birds " and mounting mallards or bass.

If a man has . a canvasback above his sideboard he cannot look at It years after without being carried back to the lake and early morning of long ago when the gray clouds hung low and the wind clicked in the rushes. It Is not hard to see a bass and the fights that landed them, the surge and dash through the water, the strain on the rod and wrist, tho useless plentiful advice of the guide and the thrill which came when the great warrior lay gasping on the boat's bot- tctn.

The bamboo strips or lanccwcfl, or green heart sections may be had in the rough frcm the factories, and putting them together, -wrapping them, shellacking them and giving them the proper -weight and balance afford a good -way of kill ing time, but tho making of roda is a limited amusement compared with tax idermy, though there are many private ly mado rods in use in America -whose owners value them as high as $100, and they are worth the money. If a man caTo to tako the wires with him to be used in making the frames for his speci mens ho may pass many rainy hour3 In camp or at the hotel putting up his speci mens. The most difficult thine about tax idermy is not the mounting, as Inexpe rienced folks believe, but tho skinning. Once the skin, bearing scales or feath ers, has been properly removed, the soft parts taken from the head, the bones from the legs and the whole carefully cured, putting it Into shape of the living animal and Inserting the eyes Is com paratively easy. With the wire a rough model Is made, the skin stretched over It and filling inserted to bring the skin Into proper roundness. This has refer ence only to plain taxidermy. Of course, there Js more art In so shaping the speci men that it will seem to be alive, and that will come with time. Almost any city taxidermist will give the few needed lessons at slight cost If he Is satisfied that he is not starting a business rival, and money spent In this way will be repaid a thousandfold. In some parts of the country use is now made of an embalming and petrifying fluid, which is Injected Into the body of the specimen day after day for a month and finally makes tho flesh as hard as a rock and almost as heavy.
