Question Whether Democrat Will Get the Plum. PRESENT LAW MAY BE CHANGED Movement on Foot to Talce Power of Appointment Out ot Governor' Hands and Vest It. in the Land Board. Will tho next Stato Land Agent be a D.eraocrat? is a question that will interest some of tho politicians of Oregon this "Winter. There Is good reason to believe that the appointment of a State Land Agent will be taken out of the hands of the Governor and placed in the control of the State Land Board, which is composed of the Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer. At least, there has been some talk to that effect, and, in view of tho radical changes that have taken place in state land matters. It would not be fcurprisins if the method of appoint ment should be changed as indicated. As the next Governor is a Democrat, and the other members of the board aro Repub licans, the vesting of the appointing pow er in the board would probably relieve tho victors in the Gubernatorial fight of some of their spoils. The reasons which are given for the proposed change are far from partisan. The duties of a State Land Agent now are very different from what they were when the offlco was created; In fact, they are not the same in any particular. The office of State Land Agent was created in 1S96, and the duties of the offlco were to ascertain what school lands had been lost to the state and to search for and select other lands in lieu thereof. This was a duty Intrusted by the constitution to the Governor, who was authorized to employ an agent to do the work. "While the work was to be done by the agent, all selections were made over the Governor's signature. T. "W. Davenport was tho first land agent lie made large numbers of lieu land selections and at tho end of his term, in January. 1$9. he reported that all selections had been made and that there was no further work to be done. He therefore recommended that the offlco be abolished unless some new duties should be assigned to that official. Tho Legislature did not take kindly to the idea of abolishing an offlco, and In casting around for new duties to be Im posed upon the land agent, discovered that the state had on hand a considerable num ber of farms which had been taken on foreclosure of mortgages given to secure loans made by the State Land Board from tho school funds. It was therefore decided that th.e State Land Agent should be required to look after these lands, .lease them, sell them and see that they jrere ' not permitted to deteriorate. The duty of mailing lieu land selections was still retained "in the law. The power of appointment was left in tho Governor, and L. B. Geer was made the next agent. Mr. Geer made quite a number of lieu land selections, and at the end of two years reported that all losses, with few exceptions, had been made good, and ho confirmed the report of his predecessor In that respect. About six months ago lieu land selection became so Infrequent that they were suspended altogether, for the reason that the State Land Agent's time was taken up with looking after the state farms. It Is therefore evident that. Instead of performing duties under authority of tho Governor, the State Land Agent is doing work over which tho whole board has con-. trol. The state Ucu land business is- a thing of the past, and has been, for all practical purposes, for three years. Tho management of state farms has become an Important feature of the land depart-, ment. In almost every county in the state there are tracts of land which the board was compelled to take on foreclosure, be cause the borrowers could not pay their Indebtedness, Many farms have been sold by tho board, through the State Land Agent, and the proceeds have been turned back to the school fund. Tho fact that the State Land Agent Is appointed by one officer, while ho Is the representative and agent of a board com posed of three officers, is what has given rise to the suggestion that the power of appointment ohould be vested in the body which has charge of the agent's work. Those who have considered the matter say that thero Is no more reason why the State Land Agent should be appointed by the Governor alone- than there is for the clerk of the board to be appointed In the same manner. Both aro working entirely under the direction of tho whole board. No difficulty has been encountered under the present arrangement, for tho Incum bent of the office of ngent. M. L. Cham berlain, seems to be entirely satisfactory to all concerned. He has made many sales of state land at prices which have been satisfactory, and If any member of tho board has fault to find, he has not made It public It Is. because the duties of tho office have become entirely different that the suggestion of a change has been made regarding the manner of appointment. , There has been some talk of depriving the Governor of the power of appointing a superintendent of the penitentiary, and it was plainly hinted that this would be done in order to keep the Democrats from getting stato positions. Such a move would, of course, be opposed upon political grounds. The proposed change in the management of stato land nffnlr.. ?. not placed upon partisan grounds, 'but up on the general rule that a subordinate of ficial should receive Ms appointment from the body he represents and under whose directions he must work. The office of State Land Agent pays a salary of $1S00 a year, and a stenographer Is al owed TOW. If the appointing power should be vested In the State Land Board the State Land Agent and stenographer would probably become attaches of the State Land Department. This would often be found a convenience, as then the two office forces could assist each other when work is pressing. Influence of Mali an ' Article. NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. Aug. 30. One of the most interesting features of the slack season In London is a revival of the rumor anent Dclacoa Bay, cables the Tribune corres pondent at London. It Is asserted' that the purchase of the Portuguese possessions In East Africa will be announced when Parliament meets" and that it will be fol lowed by German acquisition of a portion of then!, in accordance with a secret con vention with Great Britain. Thero is no direct confirmation of this story from an authentic source, but there is circum stantial evidence that leads close observers to credit the rumor. Lord miner's recent visit to Lourcnco Marqucz never has been satisfactorily explained, nor have the pro-' posed annexations of Transvaal territory to Natal any significance unless the Inter vening district adjacent to the Portu guese frontier can be added. Men versed in African affairs aro pre dicting the speedy purchase of Portuguese territory and the extension of Natal north Ward and material compensation to Ger many for the neutrality maintained during the Boer campaign.

In order to pro tect the public against reckless chauffeurs the Long Island Highway Protective So ciety has been Incorporated by several leading residents of. Long Island. The principal office of the society will be in Oyster Bay. Townsend Scudder, a former representa tive, who Is counsel for the society, said the purpose of the organization was to co-operate with the authorities In enforc ing the speed limit law, not only as affect ing automobiles, but also the reckless driving of fast horses. Queens and Suf folk Counties, he said, had sp'cnt J11.C0O.000 on roads, and they had been made use less for pleasure driving by reason of reckless chauffeurs and men who like to speed fast horses. It was the purpose to stop these practices In the Interest of men and wctnerf who like to drive, but who have been forced to take the side roads or else give up their pleasure.

LOOKING FOR DANGER London Saturday Review on "American Hypocrisy." ROOSEVELT SPEECH AS TEXT Believes the Question of Monroeism Mumx Ultimately Bo Settled by Arbitrament of the Sword Another View of It. ' LONDON, Aug. SO. "A hated rivalry, whlch may eome day bo settled by arbit rament of the sword." seems fairly to sum up tho Saturday Reviow's opinion of GREECE AND HIS BRIDE, the relations between Great Britain and the United States. Discussing President Roosevelt's pronouncement on Monroeism, the always bitterly anti-American Satur day Review uses the President's speech as a text on which to enunciate a long sermon on "American greed and hypoc risy," and the danger threatening the British Empire from the United States' future expansion. It says, in reviewing the history of the Monroe Doctrine: "It Is unfortunate. If not exceptional, that tho United States cannot be satis fied with the plain, straightforward pol icy of self-interest without attempting to explain It as a disinterested and hlrhlv moral position. It was on this basts that j the war with Spain was undertaken, re sulting in the Philippines being annexed and Cuba being put under the heel. South America's natural resources are enormous, but the individual states cannot act to gether. It Is plain that they will not long resist American extension southward, and American 'protection' from European ag gression will soon incubate Into occupa tion by the United States." Proceeding to discuss the effect of Mon roeism on the British Empire, the Satur day Review says; "The United States Is the only great power separated from the British Emplro by nothing but a land frontier, and It is tho settled, object of the United States ultimately to Include Canada. The United States is commercially growing fast at our expense, and, judging from Its present progress, the power of the United States In wealth and numbers will Boon exceed that of any rival wo have, possibly except Russia, whoso position In relation to the United States territorially Is not nearly so critical. Under these circumstances, it Is surely clear that tho power we need be most concerned about Is America. Acute territorial and commercial rivalry always results In an ultimate trial by force. It Is the only final settlement. If that Is bo, the policy of either country must be to avoid doing anything which can Increase the other's power or give it points in the struggle. On that principle the United States has steadily acted In opposing us diplomatically, never conceding a point. We, on the other hand.have usually gone out of our way to help the United States. In .the matter of the Isthmian canal, we lost ground and America gained. The only balancing advantage would be such consequent and active friendship on the part of America that we might count on her as meeting us half way by abstaining from Injuring us. Of such friendship, tho Saturday Review has shown again and again that there Is neither evidence nor likelihood. There Is no question of lik ing or disliking tho Americans. It Is sim ply a question of which shall ultimately get the. better of the other side. The con trolling factors make it impossible to put the position of the two countries in any other way." A curiously divergent view Is expressed by the Spectator on the same topic. It says: "We are glad. In the Interests of the United States and Grea,t Britain, and the peace of the rest of the world, that Presi dent Roosevelt announced In such clear and unmistakable terms that the Monroe Doctrine will be enforced by the United States at all costs. The Monroe Doctrine s a danger to peace only when It Is un defined. All authoritative statements of the policy of the United States In this ef fect are, therefore, welcome. We hold that the Monroe Doctrine is good for us as well as the United States. We. Ilka the United States, have no desire to see the status qup violently altered by the efforts of continental European states to carve out for themselves colonial em pires In Central and South America. It would suit us no more than the United States to see Germany established in Southern Brazil, or elsewhere on tho Western continent." Proceeding to point out that Monroeism cannot rest on air, and that unless based on power It Is sure to be exposed, to be pushed aside and disregarded, the Spec tator continues: "The power on which It must primarily rest is sea power. If the European states know that America ha3 sea power enough to enforce the Monroe Doctrine, it will be scrupulously respected. Tho moment they Bee the doctrine is based only on paper. It will be disregarded. To make the doc trine effective America must build a fleet unquestionably stronger than that of France or Germany. She need not trou ble to outbuild us. as we not merely agree to, but may bo said to bo passive support ers of tho Monroo Doctrine." The approaching expiration of tho tlmo limit for the completion of tho Atlantic shipping combine Is arousing the British press to all sorts of speculation regarding J. Plerpont Morgan's ultimato plans, as well as the government's scheme for deal ing with the combination. The promised statement of the Premier, A. J. Balfour, on the reassembling of Parliament, is awaited with Intense interest. The state ment has already been printed that the government plans are complete and that the authorities are ready to make the ef fective countermovo against tho Ameri cans. Inquiries made by the Associated Press in the best-informed quarters Indicate that this announcement Is not true. The gov ernment has had to deal with so many powerful and conflicting Interests that It has not yet been able to definitely decide on a plan of action. In spite of the op- GRAND DUCHESS " HELEN. position to a general subsidy scheme, well informed persons consider this to be the most likely solution on the lines of a gen erous distribution of government support, not in behalf of one. but of several com panies! The form which such a step will take Is still under discussion, there being considerable opposition to straight sub sidies. There Is no doubt that Mr. Balfour's announcement will Include a scheme for a direct fast Canadian service. In which the Canadian Pacific Railroad probably will participate, but not as originally planned, as sole promoter and beneficiary. The Indications point more and more to the drawing together of the Atlantic lines outside of the Morgan combine. One of the alliances which may be earliest ex pected Is a combination of the Allan line and Elder, Dempster & Co. The heads of the English lines are chary In expressing themselves on the Atlantic outlook. Time Is Intensifying rather than allaying their Jealousy of the Americans bid for the Atlantic trade, and Great Britain is so thoroughly stirred up that It will not leave a stone unturned to allay the existing commercial and colonial dis content. In thl3 connection It may be mentioned that the tariff discussions at the recent colonial conference were very intimately connected with the shipping situation. A large snlpowner and a close friend ot the Colonial Secretary. Joseph Chamberlain, said to a representative of the Associated Press: "America must not think that the Im perial Government Is going to leave the colonies at the mercy of the shipping or any other trust. The discontent is acute enough now In many quarters of the em pire. AVhllc Great Britain does not wont a commercial war with the United States, she will not stand Indefinitely being shut out by the American tariff wall while keeping open house for American traders m the United Kingdom. The question of retaliatory duties Is not so improbable as many people Imagine. There Is no rea son why the British colonial market should not be opened to British goods on a pref erential basis. We have been asleep here In England for a long time, but when we wake up America had better look out." Sir Christopher Furness. who has been referred to as the probable head of the English financial syndicate, which is likely to purchase the Cunard fleet as the nu cleus Nfor a British shipping combine, hint ed at similar possibilities yesterday in his spech before the steamship meeting at Manchester, but as he was addressing a public meeting he was not so outspoken as the leading shipowner quoted above. One of tho results of the report of the committee on army education Is a scheme of the War office to reduce the living ex penses of cavalry officers so as to enable ji man to live on 51000 per annum, besides his pay, the present minimum being about $3000. The War Office proposes to furnish officers' messes and quarters for bachelor officers at the government's expense, and to furnish a full field kit to each officer. Whether or not the committee's other recommendations, to abolish regimental coaches, hounds and polo tournaments, are carried out. the above concessions will greatly relieve the strain on the poorer officers, and are expected to result In the entry of a more efficient but not so fash lonable element into tne cavalry branch of the service. Sociologists are .disturbed by the vital statistics just Issued, showing a marked decline In the English birth rate. London shows a decrease, since 1SS1. of from 27.4 to 20.6 per 100 married women, under the age of 45. The decline Is most noticeable In the fashionable quarters ot the capital, while the slum areap, such as Stepney. Shadwell and Bethnal Green, are almost stationary. Outside of London the de cline amounts to 23.S, against 30.3 in 1SS1. The officers of the United States battle ship Illinois gave a reception on board that vessel at Chatham today to the British naval officers stationed there. G0MPLA1N0F0REC0N Chinese Appeal to Govern ment for Justice. ASSAULTED AT MINING CAMP China Takes TSotice ot Wcrk of Mob In Malheur County- Several Months Ago Matter Re terrcd to Governor. t ' WASHINGTON, Aug". SO. The Chines Government, through its Legation here has asked tho State Department to aea that Justice, is done by the Stato of Oregon to the Chinese who were attacked by riot-; ers in Baker City, Or., on August 8. On! that date about GO Chinese, who were em-, ployed in the city, were attacked by at mob, three of them, were shot and thai remainder were driven out of the town and forbidden to return. Tho matter wasr promptly reported to tha Chinese Legu-j tlon by the nearest Chinese Consul, aniJ the Legation authorities having awaited what they considered, & reasonable timaj for some sign of activity on tho part of tho local authorities, havo no presented? the matter to the Stato Department,, pointing out that they do so because thai local authorities have shown no dlsposl-j tlon to prosecute the offenders and makaj reparation. The department will, follow-1 Ing the usual course, forward tho com- plaint to the Governor of Oregon, w!tS the request for an explanation. HISTORY OF TUB ASSAULT. Shacks of Chineae Burned, and They;,' "Were Held Up and Robbed. BAKER CITY. Or.. Aug. 30. Tho Chi- nese outrage referred by tho Chinese Gov-I ernment to the State Department oc-- curred August 8, at the Mormon Basin? placer mine, which was leased by China men. Twenty shacks were burned byf robbers, supposed to live In the vicinity, and the Chinamen held up and robbed. Three Chinamen were badly Injured. Mormon Basin 13 DO miles from here. In Malheur County. The authorities there took no action. The District Attorney here wa3 presented with a complaint at the time, but the matter was out of hla Jurisdiction. He notified the authorities of Malheur County, but nothing, so far as known, has been done to bring the guilty men to justice. Geer Order Invcatlfcailon. SALEM. Or.. Aug. 30. When Governor T. T. Geer was shown the dispatch from Washington tonight regarding tho com plaint of the Chinese Minister in connec tion with the alleged attack of a mob on Chlneso In Baker City, he stated he had received notice from the State Department at Washington and had at once ordered Captain Samuel White. District Attorney at Baker City, to investigate the charges thoroughlyand bring the offenders, if any, to Justice. - OFFICIALS IN POLITICS. Roosevelt Indorses the Order of Ex Presldent Cleveland. WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. Acting Presi dent Foulk, of the Civil Service Commis sion, has addressed a communication to all the executive departments in regard to tho part office-holders may take in poll tics. Attention is called to an order issued by President Cleveland July 14, 1SS6, con taining tho following: "The influence of Federal office-holders should not be felt In the manipulation ofi political primary meetings and nominating conventions. The use by these officials oc their positions to compass their selection as delegates to political conventions Is In decent and unfair, and proper regard foa. the proprieties and requirements of official place will also prevent their assuming tha active conduct of political campaigns." The communication states that this or der has never been repealed, but has been, declared by President Roosevelt to be still In force. In construing It. however, thero is a distinction. Mr. Foulk says, to be made between ofllccra and employes who are In the classified services and those, who are not. The letter states that thosa who are outside the classified service ara chosen largely with reference to political consideration, and as a rule expect to be; changed with the change of parties, but in the classified service the choice Is mada. without reference to political considera tion, and tho tenure of office Is not af fscted by the change of parties. In consideration of this, the communi cation further says tho man In the classi fied service, while retaining his right to vote es he pleases, has to express pri vately his opinion on all political sub jects, and should not take an active partf in political management or in political conventions for the same reason a Judge or Army officer is debarred from taking such part. In regard to those who are not In tha classified sjervice, the communication saya the limitations are not so strict, but even In this case, office-holders must not use their offices to control political movements or force the political actions of employes. They must not neglect their public dutlefi and must not cause public scandal by their activities. Antoruobtltftt Responsible. NEW YORK, Aug. 30. Henry W.

Thorp Munro. has been declared by tha official report of the Coroner's jury to ba criminally responsible, sayo a New Haven dispatch to the Prera Dupuy's arrest will follow as soon as the accused can ba reached In his Pittsburg home. The for mal finding of Coroner Mix was to tha effect that Dupuy was violating tha speed regulations and rules of the road at the time of the fatality, driving hij machine in an "unobservant, carelesa, reckless and unlawful manner." For Reunion of Liberal Party. NEW YORK. Aug. 30. R. W. Perks, who Is a most energetic supporter of Lord Rosebery. has issued a manifesto to non. conformist voters, urging them to take an actlvo stand against the education bill and make preparations for contesting every Tory seat at the general election, cables the London correspondent of the Tribune. Mr. Perks also advocates the abandon ment of the Irish home rule question out right and the reunion of the Liberal party under Lord Rosebery. Clarence Porter Aliasing-. NEW YORK, Aug. 30. Clarence Wilson Porter, recently a student In the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, who Is known in this city as a draughtsman, and lg said to be a nephew of General Horace Porter, United States Ambnssador to France, haa disappeared in Atlantic City, says a Phil adelphia dispatch to the Times.
