THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 11, 1903.
HIS POSITION GONE
Charles Bedford Pays Pen
alty of Lobbying.
PROVED TO BE SUPERFLUOUS
Secretary of Puyallup Indian Com
mission Lobbied for Ide, and
Hitchcock Found Ills Job
a Sinecure.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Jan. 10. Secretary Hitchcock has
decided that within a few weeks the office
of chief clerk to the Puyallup Indian
Commission at Tacoma must bo abolished
and that its Incumbent, Charles Bedford,
must be taken from the payroll.
Bedford left his post last Spring for
five weeks and came to Washington to
lobby against the confirmation of Clar
ence W. Ide, being absent without leave.
The Indian Bureau Investigated the
workings of the commission and Bedford
In particular and concluded that his was
a superfluous position. His salary, $1500,
was paid out of the Puyallup Indians
fund. In all probability the balance of
the commission will soon be abolished
and the land sales be conducted by the
superintendent at the Puyallup school.
When the news of the intended action
of the department reached Senator Fos
ter, he entered a vigorous, if not violent,
protest against Bedford's dismissal, but
he was told that the entire work of the
commission could readily be done by one
man, and the department had no Idea of
further continuing the office in order to
make a place for a political heeler.
3IUST CONTROL. TRUSTS.
A'ntlon Cannot Exist Half Democratic
and Half Antocratlc.
CHICAGO, Jan. 10. Lincoln's famous
declaration that the nation could not en
dure half slave and half free was para
phrased last night bv Dr. Lyman Abbott,
of New York, when, at the climax of a
lecture on "Our Industrial Problem," he
said:
"We cannot have a country part dem
ocratic and part autocratic. We cannot
do awav with combinations of capital
cither of capital or of labor. The ques
tion Is not whether we shall continue to
have such organizations, but whether the
organizations shall be democratic or au
tocraticmanaged by the few for the ben
efit of the few, or by the few for the many
with proper regard for the public Inter
ests." Government regulation of trusts, even
to taking possession of them when neces
sary and operating them In the Interest of
the people, was advocated. Forcing labor
unions to obey all laws, but also making
every corporation, great or small, do the
same thing would bring about a solution
of the problem, In the opinion of. Dr. Ab
bott. The lecture was delivered under the
auspices of the University of Chicago Lec
ture Association.
NEW BANKRUPTCY BILL.
Will Embody New provision Regard
ing; Fraudulent Reference.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. The Senate
committee on judiciary today authorized
a favorable report on the bill passed by
the Houbo last session for the amendment
of the bankruptcy law. A number of
changes were adopted, but these relate in
the main to details of administration. As
the bill was reported. It will require res
titution to be made only where creditors
have received preferences fraudulently
.and not In cases where they have been
received in the ordinary course of business.
The provision relative to taxes on home
steads was changed so as to protect the
owner.
There also were a number of changes in
the provisions relating to fees. .In gen
eral, the House Increases the fees under
existing laws about 100 per cent, but the
Senate committee reduced the Interest
about one-half.
JUDGE OF HIS OWN CASE.
Secretary Moody in a Predicament
Regarding; Bill He Introduced.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Secretary
Moody has been called upon to pass judg
ment on one of his own acts while a, mem
ber of Congress. While representing the
Sixth District of Massachusetts, ho in
troduced a bill to remove the charge of
desertion from the record of Charles
Amos, one of his own constituents. The
bill was referred to the House committee
on naval affairs, and has Just been taken
up for consideration by that committee.
Following the practice In such cases, the
bill was referred to the Secretary of the
Navy for examination and report. It was
received today, and, still following the
routine practice, was referred to the
Judge-Advocate-General. If that officer
should make an adverse report. Secretary
Siooay might be placed In an embarrass
ing position, as he could not consistently
decide that a bill for which he assumed
responsibility was without merit.
Admiral Melville Retires.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Rear-Admiral
George W. Melville, chief of the Bureau
of Steam Engineering, was placed on the
retired list of the Navy today, having
reached the age limit of 62 years. Special
authority by Congress has been invoked
to allow Admiral Melville to continue his
services at the head of the bureau until
his commission expires, August 9, 1903.
Admiral Melville was appointed to the
Navy from New York in July, 1S6L
Reformers Meet the President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Elliott A.
Goodwin, secretary of the National Civil
Service Reform League; Robert D. Jenk
ins, of the Civil Service Reform Associa
tion, of Pennsylvania: and Cyrus D. Foss.
Jr., also connected with the civil service
reform movement, had a brief conference
with the President by appointment. They
would not discuss their visit.
RUNNING SHORT OF FOOD
Caracas Has Only Enough Flour to
Last Ten Days.
PARIS, Jan. 1L A dispatch from Cara.
cas to the Matin says the approaching
departure of United States Minister
Bowen does not arouse fears for their
safety of the foreign residents, their sole
anxiety being on account of the scanty
supply of provisions and flour, which Is
sufficient to last the Caracas population
only 10 days longer.
The government, according to the dis
patch, has only $20,000 In hand.
"WILL MEET IN WASHINGTON.
Venezuelan Commission td Hold Dis
cussions in English.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. While ar
rangements have not yet been made for
the meeting of the Venezuelan Commis
sion, some attention has been given to the
subject and it appears that the United
States Government will Jje expected to
provide accommodations for the body. It
is probable that accommodations will be
procured in one of the big hotels here,
for the State Department has no available
room to devote to such purposes. Signor
Mayor Desplanches, the Italian Ambas
sador here, is, by virtue of seniority, en
titled to preside, if the proceedings are
to be In the nature of a Joint meeting,
and his long diplomatic service is regarded
ae peculiarly fitting him for the import
ant work. All four of the prospective
members of the commission, namely
Signor Mayor Desplanches, the Italian
Ambassador; Sir Michael Herbert, the
British Ambassador, and Count Quadt. and
Baron Sternberg, as well as Minister
Bowen, speak English perfectly and It is
likely that this language will be .the
official means of communication in the
commission's work. .
That there may be no delay in laying
Italy's claims before the joint commis
sion, the Italian Ambassador has cabled
to the Foreign Office at Rome, asking that
Baron Alllotl be ordered to bring to Wash
ington all papera in the case, which are
now at the Italian Legation at Caracas.
Baron Alllotl, who was formerly Second
Secretary of Embafwy here, and was later
promoted to be First Secretary of Em
bassy at Buenos Ayres, is now aboard the
Italian cruiser Giovanni Bausan In Vene
zuelan waters. Minister Alllotl was given
leave of absence after presenting Italy's
claims to President Castro. Although
diplomatic relations between Italy and
Venezuela have not been resumed, the
Baron has remained aboard the warship
In the capacity of what might be termed
a charge d'affaires expectant, rather an
anamolous position In diplomatic circles.
Baron Alllotl. If ordered to Washington,
will also bo Instructed to remain hero
temporarily as secretary of the Italian
representative on tho commission. The
Baron speaks English with eape and his
familiarity with Italy's claims against
Venezuela will be of service to Signor
Mayor In preparing for submission to the
commission a statement of Italy's de
mands. Whilo the exact amount of these
claims Is not known here, it Is thought
that they do not aggregate as much as
those of Germany or Great Britain.
FOREIGNERS FEAR VIOLENCE.
Minister Bovren's Departure Leaves
Them Unprotected.
BERLIN, Jan. 10. A dispatch to the
Lokal Anzeiger from Caracas says Min
ister Bowen's departure for Washington
awakens fears among the members of the
foreign colonies at the Venezuelan cap
ital "lest acts of violence be committed
against them during his absence. Presi
dent Castro, it is said, has promised the
foreign residents full protection.
HIGH RANK FOR STERNBERG
New
Gcrmnn Amlinsnndor Stands
"Well With the Kaiser.
BERLIN, Jan. 10. Baron Speck von
Sternberg, the newly appointed Charge
d'Affaircs of Germany at Washington,
conferred with Chancellor vort Bulow for
two hours today. He was in conference
with the Chancellor for an hour yester
day evening. The Baron will be received
in audience by the Emperor Tuesday or
Wednesday. He has engaged transporta
tion on the Hamburg-American Line
steamer Auguste Victoria, which is to
sail from Hamburg, January 20, for New
York.
The Cologne Gazette today. In an ap
parently Inspired statement, denies that
mbassador von Holleben's retirement
from Washington is connected with Pres
ident Roosevelt's refusal to arbitrate the
Venezuelan dispute or to the alleged ill
feeling In the United States toward Ger
many. "In spite of the unfriendly comments
in the American press," the Cologne Ga
zette says, "the attitude of the United
States Government and President to
wards Germany has always continued
very correct. In fact friendly."
The statement also says that Dr. von
Holleben's leave of absence is "not con
nected with the Pauncefote affair."
Baron Speck von Sternberg will be
given ample rank. He will not be a sim
ple Charge d'Affaircs, but from the be
ginning will have a special rank, prob
ably that of Ambassador Extraordinary,
so that although Horr von Holleben will
retain for an indefinite period the title
of Ambassador to the United States,
Baron Speck von Sternberg will really
have a rank equal to or superior to
that of Dr. von Holleben. Since the Em
peror has been giving special attention
to Germany's relations with the United
States he has said on two or three oc
casions, It Is understood, that Germany
ought to be represented at Washington
by a personality which would win the
regard of the American people as well as
the confidence of the American Govern
ment. His Majesty on one occasion al
luded to the personality of Wu Ting Fang,
the ex-Chinese Minister at Washing
ton, as being of exceptional value to
China.
One of Chancellor von Bulow's consid
erations In recommending the appoint
ment of the Baron was that the latter
was not a new man in Washington, but
one who already had an assured place
in the respect of the President, Secre
tary Hay and other members of the Ad
ministration. The appointment seems to
have come as a complete surprise to Baron
von Sternberg, for he told the corres
pondent of tho Associated Press that he
had already started for Calcutta, when
a telegram caught him In Paris.
JOY IN LONDON NOT CONCEALED.
Von Holleben Blamed for Attaclc on
Pauncefote and American Enmity.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-British satisfac
tion over Dr von Holleben's recall is not
concealed, according to a Tribune dispatch
from London. The German Ambassador's
alleged attempt to discredit Lord Paunce
fote at Washington was bitterly reeented
In official circles here, and public opinion
here, whether justly or unjustly, has been
strongly directed against Germany
throughout tho Venezuelan affair. The
Birmingham Post, for example, -charges
Germany with adopting hostile measures
against Castro while the negotiations for
arbitration were In prosress and with
competing with the United States for the
purchase of tho. Panama Canal, with a
view to challenging the Monroe Doctrine
In a most aggressive way.
Von Holleben Leaves, for Europe.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10. Dr. von Holle
ben, the German Ambassador to the
'United States, sailed for Hamburg today
on the Hamburg-American liner Graf
Waldersee. Before boarding the vessel he
was. asked If he had any comment to
make on the reports which had -been clr
culated about his return to Berlin or .his
relations with the administration. He
said tersely that he had absolutely no
comment to make on anything. The Am
bassador is accompanied by his valet.
CHAMBERLAIN OUTSPOKEN
His Supporters In Transvaal Fear He
Has Done No Good.
LONDON, Jan. 10. Colonial Secretary
Chamberlaln'B tour of South Africa Is
beginning to attract greater attention
Both at Pretoria and Johannesburg he re
ceived great ovations, an interesting fea
ture of which was the lnterminsllnjr of
the St.rs and Stripes and Union Jacks
as a comnllment to Mr. Chamberlain.
The Secretary's outspoken replies to the
Boers' suggestions, however, are creating
a certain feeling of uneasiness among the
government supporters here, who publicly
and privately express doubt whether any
good will come of the trip. Briefly. Mr.
Chamberlain so far has not only v declared
practically that no further 'concessions
can bo made by Great Britain, but he
has also upbraided the Boers- for their
lack of appreciation of what Great Britain
has already done. To use the expression
of a paper which has always bpen- his
warm supporter, Mr. Chamberlain has
"allowed himself to be drawn early in the
game."

Don't fool with a cold: no one can tell

colds and influenza, and by its use these
diseases may be avoided. For sale by all

Letters testifying to the fact that Pe

constantly pouring in from every state
in the Union. Thousands of such letters
are on file in the ofllce of The Peruna
Medicine Company.
The following letters taken at random
from our files give a testimonial from
each state in the Union:
OHIO Congressman Irvine Duncan, of
Jackson, O., says: "I desire to join with
my many friends In recommending your
invaluable remedy, Peruna, to any one In
need of an invigorating tonic, and whose
system Is run down by catarrhal
troubles?' Irvine Dungan.
NEW YORK Congressman D. F. Wil

Gentlemen Persuaded by a friend I have
tried your remedy and I have almost fully
recovered after the use of a few bottles."
David F. Wilber.
PENNSYLVANIA Ex-Congressman A.
H. Coffroth, Somerset, Pa., writes: "I
am satisfied that your Peruna Is a great
catarrh cure, and friends whom I know
well have used it with great benefit-"
A. H. Coffroth.
ILLINOIS Hon. George W. Smith,
Murphysboro, 111., member of Congress,
says: "I have taken one bottle of Peruna
for my catarrh and I fell very much bene
fited." G. W. Smith.
NEW MEXICO Silas Hare, of Sher
man, Tex., ex-Chief Justice of New
Mexico, writes: "I earnestly recommend
your Peruna to all persons suffering with
catarrh or nervous disorders. I am sat
isfied that it is a good and wholesome
remedy." Silas Hare.
NEW JERSEY Chas. F. Pereira, 32
Beicon Ave., Jersey City. N. J., writes:
"I had catarrh for over five years. So I
tried all the patent medicines, until I
found Peruna. The first bottle I took
helped me so much that I kept on using
it until I was cured." Chas. F. Pereira.

to 50 votes, and the Preston men make
approximately tho same claim. With
these two candidates so equally matched
and neither inclined to make way for the
other, the friends of the minority candi
dates have great hopes of a break to their
man. Their hope might be fainter if
John L. Wilson had not previously
climbed to victory with only seven, votes
for a starter. The parties who concede
about a dozen votes to Wilson, however,
state that these votes can be used for
John L. Wilson only, and not as trading
stock for any other candidate. This, of
course, limits the usefulness and makes
them less valuable as an asset than votes
which can be used as a club to beat the
weak-kneed into line.
The Democratic members of the Legis
lature held a caucus this evening and de
cided to support Tolman of Spokane for
President of the Senate, and Cameron of
Lincoln County for Speaker of the House.
The strength of the minority party is nine
in the Senate end 13 in the House. For
United States Senator it was decided to
support George Turner first, last and all
the time. The only exception to this
decision was In the case of Moore of King
County, who is pledged to Preston, and
Splawn of Yakima who isunder promise
to vote for a. Republican whenever his
votq will elect a Senator. The House
Democrats appointed, a steering commit
tee, consisting of Quinn of Spokane, Ma
loney of Stevens, and Relse, to act on gen
oral party mattsrs. They decided not to
ask for any patronage, but the Senators

Inquiry among the members of both

toward the centennial, and there Is little
doubt that the bill will be passed without
opposition of consequence. The sentiment
Is freely expressed, however, that nothing
definite should be done in the matter
until Oregon led off with a big appropri

similar action will follow here, and the
appropriation may be cut down or lost al

While the Senators and Representatives
in some cases are slow in putting in an
appearance, the applicants for clerkships
seem to be here in full force. The deter
mination of the King County Senatorial

ducing the numbers of such applicants for
