LESS MONEY NEEDED
Favorable Showing by Sec
retary of War. -
ARMY EXPENSES LIGHTER
aiaterlal Reduction Also In Figures
for River and Harbor Improve-
mcnta, Though This 3Iay
Be Changed.
WASHINGTON.. Nov. 22. Secretary
Root has just completed his estimates for
the next fiscal year, and he has succeeded
In effecting a marked reduction In the
amount of money required for the support
of the" Army and the War Department.
Excluding river and harbor appropria
tions, over which the department has
little control, as they are directed largely
by Congress, the Secretary said that the
estimates for each of the last five fiscal
years show an annual average increase
from the estimates of the previous year
of about $44,500,000. The estimates for
next fiscal year show a net decrease
of $31,420,000, compared with the estimates
submitted for the current fiscal year, and
the decrease as compared with the current
appropriations is $20,947,960.
The estimates for the military estab
lishment, which includes all items for the
support of the Army and the military
academy, show a net reduction of $21,
E62.921, from the estimates for 1903. The
pay of the Army is reduced more than
$3,000,000 in consequence of the reduction
of force. The cost of subsistence is re
duced more than $3,500,000 and the ex
pense of barracks and quarters in the
Philippines is reduced $1,000,000 for the
same reason. The cost of Army trans
portation has been reduced $9,000,000 as a
result of the peaceful conditions now ex
isting in the archipelago.
The increase of $1,400,000 for barracks
and quarters Is due to resumption of
work on new and reconstruction of many
of the old posts, rendered . necessary by
the Increase In the regular Army.
An increase of $750,000 will be required
in order to provide a full year's supply
ot clothing and equipage during the next
fiscal year. Increased estimates are sub
mitted to procure an annual supply of
ammunition for targetpractlce and pro
vide for an accumulation to meet emerg
encies, which must be anticipated.
The estimate under thchead of "pub
lic work," shows a net reduction of $9,738,
770. as compared with the estimates for
1903 and of $6,407,088, as compared with
the amounts appropriated for 1903.
There is a decrease of $15,053,839 in the
estimate for river and harbor Improve
ment under, the Chief Engineer: $1,968,895
for buildings and grounds at the military
.academy, and $616,141 for buildings and
grounds at "Washington. An increase of
$2,090,000 is asked for gun and mortar bat
teries; for sites for fortifications and for
sea coast defenses $1,800,000; for arma
ment of fortifications, $3,413,755; for mili
tary posts, $2,182,007, and for arsenals,
$53S,736.
WHERE WRITERS MEET.
A Iiittle-KnoTvn Haunt of Literary
Men in Sew York.
Esthetic New Yorkers like to live in or
near "Washington Square, Stuyvesant
Square or Gramercy Park, especially the
first two. Everybody knows about Wash
ington Square," either from experience,,
from the stories handed down by our par
ents, or from books, for the old square
is the scene of many a novel and sketch.
We do not read so much of Stuyvesant
Square, although to many it is the more
attractive. The trees are finer, and the
park Is bigger; the people that frequent
the benches and take possession of the
umbrageous spots are at once more con
tented and more well-to-do, and the nurse
maids and babies are more cleanly. And
then it is on Second avenue, the finest
of all New York's streets, the only broad
avenue that has no sky-scrapers; it is an
avenue filled with picturesque foreign
types and open-air restaurants, canopied
by really broad sky and shaded by masses
of leisurely moving people, who do not
seem temperamentally to appreciate the
great American Ideal of hustle.
The side streets running from east to
west In the Immediate vicinity of these
squares share their general character.
The great city forgets Itself a little in
these spots. Artists, literary men, a ma
jority of the few people of leisure there
are in thecity, live in or about these
squares, whatever Bohemia of a nice
sort there Is in the American metropolis
centers in these localities.
Qn one of the streets immediately north
of "Washington Square is a little French
hotel and restaurant, where many a local
celebrity occasionally takes his coffee or
dawdles through his table d'hote. Behind
the building is a pleasant little garden,
and many persons whose stomachs long
ago rebelled at the table d'hote continue
to go to the restaurant because of the
garden, the atmosphere, the people, or for
the sake of auld lang syne.
For this little hotel Is an old one, and
to persons who like to connect the pres
ent with the past. Hotel Goblin, let me
call It, has its strong fascinations. It
was built about the same time as the
famous Brevoort House, and shares some
thing of Its dingy glory. In the beginning
the little place was frequented mainly by
French and Cubans and South Americans.
These dark people are still often to be
seen there, but of late years the contem
plative, artistic, or merely lazy Americans
have given the house its characteristic
stamp. The house is owned by old Mme.
Goblin, who will talk by the hour, in
broken English, about the good, old times
when the Breevort and the Goblin were
on the upward wave of prosperity. The
old lady is still in charge, but her son,
Louis, is the active manager. Louis is
fat and good-natured, and acts as bank
er to some of his impecunious guests. He
is 35 years, and unmarried, which Is a
great grief to His mother. "I am getting
too old to do this work, Louis." she will
say. "and you ought to bring a young,
nimble woman Into the hpuse." She has
attempted, on several occasions, to hitch
her son up with some young woman of
the French colony, but Louis always con
trives to get the mitten or to escape in
some other way.
I have seen Mark Twain drinking his
coffee in the little garden; though the
great humorist can. hardly be said to be
a frequent guest. At the present time
Bliss Carman, with his waving hair, is
a regular feature. A few years ago Oliver
Herford made the cafe in the office the
frequent scenes of his delicate mental
playfulness, and Clio Huneker, the
sculptress, often reveal&fl her classic
beauty to the table d'hoters. Her sister,
who is now an actress in Mrs. Carter's
company, and her husband, the sculptor
Perry, were constant figures on the little
terrace." Many local reporters, editors
and women journalists used to gather at
the Goblin, and, less frequently, do so
still.
Three or four years ago a small group
of men met almost every day for dinner
at this little hotel. They called them
selves the "Goblin push." Josiah Flynt
made his home at the hotel, and the
others were attracted there by him. One
of them was Alfred Hodder, author of
"The New Americans," the present pri
vate secretary of Judge Jerome. Another
was the present active editor of The
Bookman. The fourth was a newspaper
man who finally dealt- the "push" its
death blow by getting married. Still an
other of the "Goblin push" was an en-
-wr whose remarkable stories orlgi-
nated entirely in his own Imagination,
although he claimed for them an abjec
tive reality. He was the most Ingenious
liar of my acquaintance, and perhaps,
the most amusing man In the "push."
The poor fellow Is dead now, and may his
sins, which always had an attractive side;
be forgotten.
For several years Josiah Flynt was the
life of the hotel. His personality was
compelling, and there was no one who
came in- contact with him who did not
yield a good deal to the little sociologist's
strong demand for a "good time." Louis,
the proprietor, was always happy when
the little man turned up from one of his
periods of "investigation." Flynt liked
to play cards with Madame Goblin, and
the old lady loved him almost as a son.
Mr. Hodder and the newspaper man
Herbert by name who, with Josiah,
formed the inner circle of the "push,"
took up Flynt's interests with zeal. Lit
tle that could be learned about the under
world was neglected by this trio of In
vestigators. "With Flynt at their head
they sallied forth every night in the in
terest of science and literature; and the
result already has been several books.
LMr. Flynt and Mr. Hodder collaborated
in "The Powers That Prey," Mr. Flynt
published several books unassisted, ' as
everybody knows, and the third member
of the "Inner circle" Is about to publish
a book on the under world. ,
Incidental to this literary and philo
sophic work there was a great deal of
Platonic conversation. Infinite were the
talks about life and letters. The dif
ferent personalities of the various mem
bers of the "push" became sharply dif
ferentiated by the force of a free- common
life and conversation. Each man's weak
ness, points, eccentricities and ambitions
were known and used for jest and talk.
Quarrels came, of course, with intimacy,
leaving great intimacy behind.
An entertaining episode was that VJ
Flynt's tilt with the police when they
were trying to put the author of the Mc
Clure articles through the "third degree."
Mr. Flynt felt that for business reasons
it was well to keep his face unknown,
so he disappeared for a time, and the
Hotel Goblin knew him not for several
weeks. The "lnnnor circle," however,
knew that, at the time the detectives
were looking for him, he was staying a
couple of blocks away from the Goblin in
a little furnished room. His assumed
name was the picturesque one of Mc
Leod, a character In "The Powers That
Prey." Even so, however, Mr. Flynt
would turn up every now and then, with
a furtive and mysterious look, at the
Goblin. The active little Investigator,
whenever ho Is anywhere near New York,
cannot resist the strange attraction of
this unkempt, obscure and dingy little
hotel.
INCIDENTS OF TRAVEL.
Three Girls Tell of Some Happen
ings on a European Trip.
Brooklyn Eagle.
They were a group of bright girls just
returned from Europe, and they were
comparing notes and telling of their ad
ventures. The school teacher's turn had come,
and she told of a Puritanic little New
England damself of the party who had
never been abroad before. "When on
landing the Custom-House inspector in
quired if she had any liquors in her bag
gage she said, "What?" in a puzzled way.
The question was repeated, and received
an emphatic "No!" in response.
"Have you any cigars?"
"What do you take mo for?" came the
Indignant reply from outraged maiden
hood. "Do I look like that kind of a
"woman?"
Then a lively young woman who had
"done" N Italy took the floor. "Of all
dead, slow places," she said, "Italy walks
off with the blue ribbon. If you go In a
hotel elevator, or lift as they call them,
you'll nearly ile of impatience unless
you've taken your knitting along or have
a book to read. It taTtes them half a day
to get up three stories, and then very
often there is a sign conspicuously dis
played which reads: 'Please do not re
quest the lift to take you down.' You
can ring till doomsday, but the lift won't
come up for you. The proprietors evi
dently think it is too much to ask of a
lift that it should lift one down as well
as up. At one hotel where we stopped
-the elevator was 'laying off,' so to speak,
in a state of inocuous desuetude, and
on the door was the comforting bit of
information in English: 'The hydraulic
lift Is out of the water. "
"Now, girls, just listen to my story of
Greece," said the kindergarten teacher.
"Of course. It ought to be something po
etic or dramatic, with glowing de
scriptions of scenery thrown in, but it
isn't at all. I shall novel1 think of the
place without this ridiculous story coming
to mind. To make It all the more mem
orable, it happened just as wo were tak
ing our departure from Athens for Italy,
and naturally we were filled with all sorts
of emotions and unspeakable thoughts.
Several of us, In order to lessen our bag
gage, had decided to leave our wornout
clothes that we didn't need, at the hotel.
If It hadn't been for the uncomfortable
honesty of the servants, we should never
have thought of them again. Our party
was all lined up In carriages In front of
the hotel, and were just on the point of

starting, when we heard a loud shouting,
and a porter came rushing out of the ho
tel, wildly waving in his hands a torn and
shabby silk waist
" 'Oh!' one of the girls cried out, 'It's
that dreadful old silk waist I meant to
leave behind.' She had hardly gotten
the words out of her mouth before a
second porter appeared waving a jacket
in. one hand and a petticoat in the other.
'I don't want them,' shouted the em
barrassed owner of the garments. 'I told
the maid she might have them.' Of course,

Insisted on parading the shabby old

trying to find their owners. The worst

a third man came on the scene, holding up
to public view a pair of most disreputable
corsets, rusty and bedraggled. No one of

Whether Governor Geer refused to call
a special session of the Legislature from
personal motives or for the benefit of
the taxpayers of the state Is a question
upon which tho public will' probably re
main in the darkt but one thing' Is
certain and that Is that the people of
the state, outside of Portland, will find'
no fault with tho Governorls action In
the matter. While a special session might
have been of some benefit to Portland in ;
passing the charter bill and making the
Lewis and Clark Centennial appropriation, j
but generally speaking the people of the ;
state had no Interest In a special ses- !
slon; in fact, they will be thankful to
the Governor for not calling It '

VENEZUELA MAY BE SORRY
BOTH BRITAIN AND GERMANY ARE
AFTER HER.
Co-operating in Serious Measures to
Protect European Interests Uncle
San Won't Object.
LONDON, Nov. 22. Great Britain is
contemplating serious reprisals against
Venezuela. The Associated Press also Is
Informed that Great Britain is acting with
Germany In all matters relating to the
present state of affairs in Venezuela.
Whether the contemplated action will be
in the form of a joint naval demonstra
tion, accompanied by or following the
severance of diplomatic relations, Is a
matter now being discussed in Berlin and
London. There Is reason to believe that
the British government has either been
officially, or otherwise. Informed that tho
United States would not Intervene In any
demonstration having the object of pro
tecting the property rights of British cit
izens or their Interests in Venezuela. The
Venezuelan protest against tho action of
tho British sloop-of-war Fantlme in en
tering the Orinoco River in spite of the
blockade has now been received by the
British Foreign Office, but it is only one
of many which have been coming in for
the past month.
A Foreign Office official said to a repre
sentative of the Associated Press:
"We regard this latest publication as
merely an endeavor to cover up the real
Issues and blind the eyes of other nations
to our frequent demands for an explana
tion of and reparation for the treatment
of British subjects In their property. We
have received absolutely no satisfaction.
The Venezuelan situation appearaabso
lutely hopeless. We see nothing for it
but the most serious measures."
The presence of a German squadron In
the Caribbean Sea, it is believed, to some
extent, may be connected with possible
joint action on the part of Great Britain
and Germany.
WHAT WE'SELL TO CANADA
Increasing; Faster Than Britain's
Sales to Colony.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. Canadian im
ports from the United States continue to
grow more rapidly than those from the
United Kingdom, despite the legislation
of 1897 In favor of products of the United
Kingdom. In that year it will be remem
bered the Canadian tariff lawsand regu
lations were so adjusted as to give an
immediate reduction, beginning with April,
1S97. of 12& per cent in tariff rates on im
ports from the United Kingdom, with a
further provision that another 12& per
cent reduction should occur in 1898. In
1900 a still further reduction was made,
making the total reduction of tariff rates
in favor of merchandise from the United
Kingdom 33 1-3 per cent The official re
port of the trade and navigation of the
Dominion of Canada, which has just
reached the Treasury Bureau of Statis
tics, includes a series of tables showing
tho Imports for consumption from the
United States, Great Britain and other
countries, and the total imports for a
long term of years. This shows that lu
the fiscal year 1896, the one immediately
preceding the 'year In which the reduction
of tariff in favor of products from Great
Britain began, Canadian imports from
Great Britain were $32,979,742, and in 1902,
$49,206,062, an Increase of $16,226,320. In
1896 the Canadian imports from the United
States were $58,574,024, and in 1902, $120,
814,750. an increase of $62,240,726.
Not only do Canadian imports from the
United States show a greater actual in
crease from 3896 to 1902 than do those
from the United Kingdom, but the per
centage of increase in imports from the
United States Is also greater than that
in imports from the United Kingdom, and
the percentage which imports from the
United States form of the total imports
of Canada is greater in 1902 than it was
In 1896, while 'the percentage which im
ports from Great Britain form of the
total imports of Canada is less in 1902
than It was In 1896. Comparing 1896 with
1902, the actual Increase In imports from
Great Britain is, as already shown, $16,
226,320. and the actual increase in imports
tro'm the United States is $62,240,726. Con
sidered by percentages, the Imports Into
Canada, from Great Britain show an in
crease .of 53 per cent, while those from
the United States show an increase of 107
per cent, since 1896; Imports from Great
Britain formed in 1896 CO per cent of the
total imports into Canada, and in 1902 24
per cent; while Imports from the United
States which In 1896 formed 52 per cent
formed in 1902 60 per cent of the total
imports into Canada.
The following table shows the total Im
ports Into Canada for consumption In each
year frdm 1SS2 to 1902, the amount from
Great Britain, the amount from the United
States, and the per cent which they
formed of the total imports in each year

THE PRESENT COMET.
Remarks in Enjrlnnd Upon Its Dis
covery by an American.
London Standard.
The new comet has now been observed
at a number of different stations. At the
Lick Observatory It was seen on Septem
ber 1, 2 and 3; at the Urania Sternwarte
Berlin, and at Konlgsberg on September
2; at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich
on September 3; at Copenhagen on Sep
tember 4, and at many other stations.
The materials, therefore, for a prelim
inary determination of its orbit are at
hand, and the following elements, com
puted by the discoverer, C. D. Perrlne,
from observations made on the first three
evenings of the month, give the date of
Its perihelion passage as November 24
a little before Greenwich mean, midnight'
The longitude of the ascending node is
49 degrees 55 minutes, and the angle be
tween the .perihelion and the ascending
node on the comet's orbit Is 154 degrees
The Inclination of the orbit of the comet
to "that of the earth is given as 156 de
grees, that is to say, the planes of the
two orbits are inclined to each other at
an angle of 24 degrees, but to a spectator
looking down upon the two orbits from
above, the comet and the earth would ap
pear to be moving in different directions
the comet moving in the direction of the
hands of a watch, the earth in the con
trary direction. From such a station,
therefore, the comet will appear to- pass
over "the orbit of the earth on its jour
ney toward, the sun about a month hence,
while the earth would pass under the
comet's orbit almost at the same time
This, then, will be the time when the
two. bodies will approach each other the
most closely, and up to this .time the
comet will Increase In brightness very
considerably, for It Is approaching not
only the earth, but the sun, and Is, there
fore, becoming afthe same time both ap
parently larger and intrinsically brighter.
WEAK KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER TROUBLE
Had to Pass Water Very
Cured by the Great Kidney Remedy, Swamp-Root.
DR. KILMER & CO., Binghamton, N.- Y.
About two years ago I had a very severe case of kidney and bladder trouble".
The pain in the small of my back w,as so severe that I could not stand it to stay. -In
one position more than a moment or two, and was obliged to pass water very often
day and night. I tried medicines and doctors without getting relief. Noticing an
advertisement in theVTopeka State Journal 'of Sjvamp-Root, I determined to give It
a trial and bought a bottle. By the time I had finished the first bottle the pain
had entirely disappeared from my back. The pain and frequent desire to pass water
ceased. However, I continued to take the medicine, using about six bottles In all.
That was over a year ago, and I have had no return of the trouble since.

Sample Bottle of Swamp-Root Free by Mail.
EDITORIAL NOTE Swamp-Root has been tested in so many ways, and has
proven so successful In every case that a special arrangement has been made by
which all readers of The Portland Oregonlan who have not already tried it
may have a sample bottle sent absolutely free by mail. Also a book telling all about
Swamp-Root, and containing many of the thousands upon thousands of testimonial
letters received from men and women who owe their good health. In fact their very
lives, to the wonderful curative properties of Swamp-Root. In writing, be sure and
mention reading, this generous, offer in The Portland Sundav Oregonlan when
sending your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Blnghampton, N. T.
If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root is what you need, you can' pur
chase the regular 50-cent and -one-dollar size" bottles at the drug stores everywhere
Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, and the address, EInghamton, N. T., on every bottle.
Indeed, it has doubled its brightness al

ED REPUTATION
AND PERFECT TRUST
The Splendid Record of Drs. Copeland and Yiontgomery
for Years in This Community Gives Confidence and
Faith to the People as They Read the Wonderful
Results of Their Treatment.
For ten years Drs. Copeland and Montgomery have conducted in this city the
largest practice ever known in the history of the Northwest. The people know
them. Then- fame has grown in the strong light of Intimacy and permanency.
Medical pretenders and bogus healers of every variety have come and gone; passed
In the night, unable to endure the daytime of acquaintance. But with time and
intimacy the fame of Drs. Copeland and Montgomery has grown stronger, and con
fidence In their ability more implicit, until they aro, now recognized as masters in
the treatment of all forms of chronic disease.
The testimony supporting their practice has come from reputable citizens,
npighbors. dwellers In this city 'and residents in this vicinity, whose reputation
and movements are well known or may be known to all who care to inquire.
Such testimony is enduring proof that Drs. Copeland and Montgomery aro
really curing, not merely helping or relieving; not merely improving and benefit
ing alone, but curing disease.

Miss Julia Mickelson, the bright

completely cured of this trouble and fully

The outcome of this act Is that Tony
Walsh, who is "a friend to you, Harry
Tracy, to the last, 'cause you was a
friend to me," and who la In love with
Molly Tracy, sister of Harry, unlocka the
prison gates and "leaves things" so Tracy
can escape: But Tracy again defies temp
tation. He will serve until he can "get
hls-freedom right." Tony, In true Bowery j
style, shrieks: "Ah, forget it, forget it.
De key's on de outside de gate all right,
all right!"
Tracy, doubtless, would have refused to
go even then had It not been for a lot
more perfidy on the part of Dave Merrill,
who is also a convict, and who convinces
the warden that Mr. Tracy and Molly had
hatched a conspiracy to free Harry. The
warden accuses Tracy In the presence of
Mrs. Tracy and Molly, who have "called"
on visitors' day. The accusation is "hurled
back." It "flashes" on the audience that
Tony Walsh had fixed everything for
Harry's escape, and Harry, being a ma
chinist, has cut the electric connection
which rings the bell. "Stung" by the
warden's "accusation," Tracy rushes to
the gate, pulls out two revolvers and
shrieks: "Stand back. I have six lives In
each of me hands. You have only blank
cartridges. Stand back, I say, or by God
-T7-!" Bang, bang, bang, go the cartridge- ;
less guns.
Tracy Is off!
In the next acts tho blood-curdling
scenes continue. There is "a canyon in
the Cascade Mountains, the fight for life,
etc.. etc.," preceded by tho "breathlesn
anxiety" of the gallery. Then there Is the
"hiding place of Tracy, the outlaw," when
Mrs. Tracy tells Harry that "Dave Is not
me brother," which is followed by "a
duel to the death" with real-sledge-hammer
mallets. A mallet duel is something
new on the stage, and it thrills the audi
ence to the marrow of its numerous bonea
Tracy would have been smashed to bits
does not Mrs. Tracy shoot Dave Merrill
"dead on the spot," a moment of life
being given to him to "hiss a" curse."
Then there Isthe hunt by the Sheriff
and posse, two Great Danes, three horses
and a jackass: the reicue by the old far
mer of Tracy, Mrs. T. and Molly, and
Tony Walsh shows the former's sympathy
for "the oppressed." (Lots of applause.)
In the "wind up" a hobo Is- killed In a
wheat field. He Is covered up with some
of Tracy's clothing, and when the Sheriff
and posse reach the spot they all exclaim:
"We've got Harry Tracy dead at last!"
(Hisses.)
Then the flies are hoisted higher for tho
tableau. Harry Tracy is seen, in a bril
liantly lighted room, kneeling with one
arm about his wife. The faces of both are
turned skyward. The curtain falls. Tho
audience move out with a rash, and a
young woman asks her "steady" whether
