NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL DOOTOR8 TURN ON LIGHT. Exposo Blundering Servlco of Army Transportation -Soldlora 8ufler. Washington, Oct. 9. At tho moot ing of tho Association of Military Sur geons today, medical men of tho army urged that the medical corps contro its own transportation in tlmo of war. Col, Valoy Harvard, U. S. A., said that during theSpanieh-American war, tho. medical acrvico of tho army in Cuba was paralyzed because its sup piles were kopt miles out at sea and later wero dumped promiscuously along tho shore. Such a thing would not havo happened, he said, had tho mod e J corps had chargo of Its own transportation. Another instance of dolay in trans portotion waa tho shipment of con donsod milk to tho Philippino islands. Tho milk, tho said, waa allowed to stand for days at tho factory because of tho failure of another department to provide transportation. Sir Alfred Keough, director-general of tho British army medical service, maintained that, while it was the provinco of tho military surgeon to act in a humanitarian capacity, his first object should bo to increase tho effi cioncy of the army. He said that sur geons should send back homo tho sol diers who wero unfitted for action. NEW TONNAGE TAX. Payne-Aldrich Act Has First Innings. Decreases Incomo. Washington, Oct 7. Collection of tho hew tonnsgo tax of 2 cents pre scribed for in the recently passed Payne-Aldrich tariff act begins today. The new law provides that tho tonnage duty of 2 centB per ton, not to exceed in tho aggregate 10 cents per ton in any one year, be imposed at every en try on '"ail vessels from any foreign port or placo in North America, Cen tral America, the West India islands, tho Bahama islands or tho coast of South America, bordering on the Car ibbean sea, or Newfoundland, and a duty of 6 cents per ton, not to exceed 50 cents per ton oer annum are imposed at every entry on all vessels from any othor foreign port, not, however, to in elude vessels in distress or not engaged in trade. The new 2-cent rate amounts virtu ally to a decrease of 1 cent from the ratea heretofore In effect. Naturally, tho decreased rato will have a tendency to lower the receipts from tho tonnage taxes, and it is estimated by tho do partment of commerce and labor that tho annual income will amount to $1, 050,000, per year, or more than $500, 000 less than was collected annually under the old law.

Wire Structuro of Forostry Service Boon to Shecpmon. Washington. Oct. 5. A eucessfu barrier aeainat tho inroads of the coy ote in the sheep flocks of tho West has been foupd, it Ib believed, in the coyote-proof fence, experiments with which have been carried on during the last year by a special agent ior the foreatry Bervlco at Billy Meadows, on tho Wallowa National foreet reserve in Oregon, according to a bulletin made nublic today by tho forestry service. Coyotes came to the fence nearly every night for 00 days, according to tho report, and occasionally followed It for miles, but not ono suceeded in passing over or under except when the enow was deep enough to givo them an easy jump. Summarizing the experi menta for tho season of 1908, tho re port says : " Ihe coyote-proof fence was entire ly successful as a protection against coyotes : not sucessf ul against bears ia still problematical against bobcats not euccessful against lynxes, and of course not successful against badgers Tho damage, however, from bears, bob cats and lynxes is small when com pared with tho large losses from the coyotes."

TAFT IN PORTLAND" bar- speeches Genial Smllo Wins Hearts of Public Throngs. Portland, Oct 4.-rPortland re cntved President Taft as guest of honor with splendid hospitality and a limitless expression of hearty good will and frank affection. To the Nation's chief executlvo it proved a dav of crood cheer, unmarred by a sin- 0 t ' - gle untoward incident. Tho president enjoyed it all to the utmost; enjoyed every moment of tho day from tho easy formality of tho crreetincr accorded him uoon his arrival at the Union derxit to the afternoon of golf golf played In the Invigorating tang of a perfect October day. Throughout tho day ho found only tho most profound consideration for bis comfort and welfare. There were no exacting demands upon his energies. The day was ren of tiring programs, long or Wearisome ceremonies. An affection manifested itself In the public greeting which had its orgin quite apart from the fact that he was the great American, the first man of the land. That infectious smile pos sessed itself of hiB features when he first stepped from his private car into the cheery sunshine of an ideal Oregon morning. Its infection of good nature spread wherever be went. Whenever jie appeared ho put every one at ease by the easy informality of bis de meanor and that smile. And then Portland got a deeper insight into tho real mean; got a glimpse into the rich and wbolefaome nature of which that smile ia tho natural expression. For when his triumphal procession through the streets was at an end and there was a half hour at his disposal for a whirl about the city, he elected to dispense with the tempting spin and go to the bedside of his friend, Judge George H. Williams, at the Good Samaritan bopsital. It was thus that tho brief hour of his morning's leisure time was spent It ib to the rising generation that credit must go for the predominating and never-to-be-forgotten feature of the welcoming demonstrations. There have been living flags before. Bat never have the Stars and Stripes been wrought into such a wholesome, in spiring fabric as that formed by Port land school children. It was an epitome of the boundless spirit of youthful pat riotism. The President smiling at first, passed to a mood of seriousness as that wondrous flag waved back and forth with the life that tomorrow must possess itself of the Nation. The. President's appearance tapped exhauatlesB reservoirs of enthusiastic and affectionate applause wherever he went. "This is all splendid, splendid the day i'b perfect everything is perfect" he told Mayor Simon, who was seated beside him in the automobile. Half an hour after luncheon a car drew up for him at the hotel and he departed for the afternoon for his fa vorite paatime, golf. Returning with a keen appetite be ate dinner privately and made ready for his appearance at the Armory. Tho military escort again accompanied him and thousands of people were in the streets awaiting his appearance. Presiednt Taft closed one of the hap piest and most delightful visits of his life late yesterday afternon, when he boarded his special train at the Union depot and departed from Portland, southbound. He said as much himself, and with unmistakable sincerity, as be stood on tho observation platform of his car and bado farewell to those who Lad assembled to see him on his way. "It has all been delightful. I can't thank you enough for the way I've been treated. I've never had a happier visit he Baid not once, but many times, as he stood shaking hands with friends and officials. Until the departing train was lost to view he stood on the platform, smiling and waving at those gathered about the depot grounds. He seemed loth to go, and it was not until the train had passed onto the Steel bridge that he turned into bis car. The President took with him from Portland only the happiest memories. His choice in se lecting Portland for the longest stoD of his itinerary, xsew Orleans alono ox cepted, was justified. HELP CONSERVATION President Says Congress Mist Enact Necessary Laws.

After making one of the longest jumps of his trip and traveling for 25 hours through tho state of Oregon, and tho northern half of California, President Taft sr- rived last night at 7:10 p.m. The president selected for the prin cipal feature of bis speech the subject of the conservation of natural re sources, in which he declared anew that before many of tho Roosevelt policies of conservation can be carried into effect confirmatory and enabling legis lation will have to be secured, and ho pledged himself to bring all the power he possesses to bear upon congress to pass the laws that are deemed neces- 'sary. Speaking.from tbe.car-end at jjuns- muir today, Mr. Taft said: 'I am on a tour of some ld,uuu miles and I am trying to gather information ... i. iL. J! as we go witn reierence to tne cunui- tion of the country and at the same time to give you a superficial aspect of the man whom it has been your good or bad fortune to elect president I think that personal touch between ihe people and those whom you honor by delegat ing authority temporarily ia a good thing, so that you may know whenI make my mistakes, and they are repre sented to you with a great deal of em phasis, that I am atill a poor mortal praying for assistance and hoping that you will forgive human error. "Everywhere m this country 1 have found evidences of prosperity from Boston to Portland, and if Bigns do not fail, ive are upon an era of business enterprise and expansion that has never been seen in thiB country before. Now with that I would not have you forget that here are certain responsi bilities. We have had evils growing out of our prosperity. Men have seized power by means of accumulation of wealth and its use in methods that are not legal and cannot be approved, by way of monopoly and otherwise. NowK we are attempting by the general law of the United States to suppress that kind of abuse. They were brought to the attention of the people in a mar velous crusade by my predecessor, The odore Roosevelt, and it is my duty to continue those policies and to enforce them as far as I may and put upon tha Btatute books, or at least recommend to congress that there be put upon the statute books those laws which shall clinch the nrozresa which was made under him, which he preached and which we all look forward to as a per manent condition. "Now, my fellow citizens, as I look out upon this audience, I feel sure that you are not" only healthy in body but healthy in mind; that you are in favor of the good thinga; that you are in favor of decent government; that you are in favor of decent men and decent women and that you look forward to, the future as a time when we shall all grow better. The truth is that money and wealth contribute nothing unlesa they enable us to make ourselves bet ter, unless they enable us to think something of others and to help others those who are down onward in the progress of life. We cannot all be al truists in the Bense that we can devote our attention to somebody else all the time, for we have to look after our Belves and our families, but I am sure that in the last generation there baa been an improvement throughout our country with reference to a charitable feeling towards all, and a desire on the part of each to help all." Fernanda Weds Count. PariB, Oct. 6. Miss Fernanda Wan- amaker, daughter of Rodman Wana maker, and granddaughter of John Wanamaker, was married today to Count Arthur de Heeren, aon of Count Heeren, of Paris. There were two ceremonies.
