U Waller. l S. marine ens, l- far the mwt Interesting person age to rwiih her on the transport a to reach hwv on the transport warred remnant of the fighting; Ninth Infantry Into port, exiwessed emphat ic views In the matter of the war In the Philippine. ' " You rn'l ctop the revolution in the Philippines unless you take the severest measures." said Major Wal ler In n Interview. " You would hnte to Bee your wounded and dead muti lated. T cannot describe the fearful condition Hit whfc-h we found the twid M of nome men under my command who were murdered by Insurreetos. 1 received both verbal and written or der from General Jacob Smith to kilt all insurrecto who were caugM arm ed or who refused to surrender. It wan the only thing; that could be done arid I never questioned General Smith' ordrs with one exception. TW exception I refuse to state. A fair estimate of the number of native killed by the nwn of my command would be 400 to 500. These were all killed, in batle with the exception of H carriers. insurrectos at heart, who were tried by court-martial and shot. There was only one woman shot, and she wfl only slifrKly wounded. She happened to he in the breastwork of a fort my men were storming." "I have'foURht In every country In the world exoept Australia," said Ma jor Waller, " But Samar well, hell is a winter resort compared with Sa mar." The major spoke huskily through a deep cold that he contracted during the home voyage on the transport but he wan obviously sincere. His dark eye snapped and his nostrils twitched at the mention of the isl and that Oeneral Jacob H. Smith had ordered him to convert ihto a howl In a- wilderness. " I left Ramar a howling wilderness. They tried to make It that for us, but we made it a howling wlldernes for them." " Want any -more of It?" was asked. "No: I'm getting to be an old man, now." His face relaxed. "I'm In my 50s. Besides, they have surrendered and It's all over. It's always all over when they surrender in the Philippines." and a sarcastic smile curved under his military moustache. " Have you anything to say, major, regarding your courtmartial on the charge of executing Samar natives without trial, or was that the charge?" " The charge against me," he said, " was murder. Yes, one plain word murder. And as for having anything to say about the court-martiaJ, of course I have. I objected to being court-martialed; It was not done at my pleasure; I wa not consulted in the matter. I was simply court-martialed. I know who brought it for ward. I know who was at .the back of It all, and Washington knows as much." I ... THB DIFFERENCE. Why an Kasterner Was Impressed With This Country so Forcibly. "It has seemed to me like a d.vy of iutradlse," Maid one of the A. O. U. W. visitors. "We took the boat at 7:30 this morning at Portland and the ride down the river to Astoria was a dream. I could not rwtli.n that sik.1i a country, such a climate on i :h existed. I am still enchanted. Your people have really dazzlnl me. I will have to get iff to myself .trul ibirk ami become perfectly calm lietiv.v I can truly realise that what I have seen Is true.

"tr prosperous Hilton and nil tint, I ut they do not compar? with !he-e moun tains, them forests, these rivers, this climate! As the boat glided i.ru l dav and I 'ievl the iii.itf'.uHtvru scenery and snv the incut forests, prncrically virgin, and then thought of the future of this wonderful coun trv, I felt like abandoning- the home uf mv life anil that of my forefathers and coming here as soon ns I evuld return and dlsiHW of my property. "Imagine how It is at home now! With nil the good already spoken of, we will not have another pleasant day until fall. Hot and sultry, dry rnd parching until the fall rains set in. We have not ami will never have such a day as this In our country. I can not realise that you have to sleep un der blankets here the year round, and that your summer days are al ways pleasant. I cannot realize that you have no tornadoes and cy clones here. That Is a great point nowadays. In our country we never fee dark cloud come ui nt curtain seasons of the year, but that the best of us are 'shakey.' We do not kr.ow but that we will be blown to king dom come. We never f"cl safe until the clouds have passed by. Year In and year out this annoy.wj grows and It causes furrows In the face. "We never see a boat, we never eat fish, unless it Is canned, or a few min nows are caught from some muddy stream: then they are not tH to eat. We never see anything new. The country Is settled: it is the same old scenes year In and year out; the same faces: the same routine life cold winters and warm -summers, bliz zards In winter and evelonea and tor nadoes and severe storms in sum mers: uncomfortable days and sleep less nights. "I cannot understand why .uoh a difference shouJld xit at dlffVrerdt points on the earth. You do not seem to have a single drawback here. Your people show it too. Thev are hale and hearty, have fln complexions and have a get no and get that we don't see In our country. Several times todav I have thought that it would have been better had T never made this trip. Was contented before I came Just came on a vacation and to see. Now that I have seen I fear that I will never be contented at h.rme again. "The man in the East especially the young man who is not settled should look this way. It Is the place for him. I never saw such opportuni ties as exist her. KverytMng Is in your favor and I see nothing against vou. Your mountains, your forests, vour rivers, your scenery, your cli mate, your resources, your everything, nnd " The boat whistled and he rushed aboard, and although he had not Im bibed, be hud drunk in the wonders nf th lower Columbia until Ms brain reeled uncVr the load of surprises that bad greeted him. And he was on ly one of the many who were entranced by the visit to Astoria Thursday. CHURCH SERVICES TOMORROW Norve?ian-Damh M. K :17ial fr- vIpmi at 11 a.m. and s p. m. -Sunday School at 10 a. m.

Mortta, a Hrooklyn inventor. 62 years old. has ben killed at Coney I.slmul by a device on the invention of which he had spent more than quarter of a century and all his savings. Mor tis invention was an aerial toboggan slide. Permission had Just been granted to operate It, all Ihe laws of the department being complied with. The first car was empty and went without any trouble. Other cars with persons In them were sent over. The device seemed to be working to per- feet ion and as the various cars, one. after another, went down .the stel slide and came up with a round turn, Morltx stood sjid looked on. Ms face beaming with pleasure. H fairly shouted for Joy. The dream of his S3 Years was realised and his face beam ed with delight a hla friends alighted from the oars and pronounced the construction a success and as certain to make him a fortune. Inspector Uittenhouse and Charles Otis, a frie-nd of the Inventor, rode In the last car to be tested. MorlU stood at the foot of the Incline. The car had nearly reached the tip. a distance of about "ft feet. There wits a crackling sound, a shout and Rit tenhouse and Otis shot backward. Their car had failed to hold the steel dog until the top of the Incline had been reached. It came down with great velocity straight for the place where Morltx was standing. The car was almost upon him when he turn ed to get out of the way. It was too late. The heavy vehicle stni k him In the back, knocking him through a wire netting and out Into the bow ery walk. He died two hours later. Rittenhouse and Otis were thrown from their seats but were uninjured. To Assimilate Food see that your stomach and liver are in proper condition.

Weak lungs are made strong by the use of Dr. nerce's Golden Medical Dis covery. It cures obstinate and stublxirn coughs, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs and other symptoms which, if neglected or unskillfully treated, terminate fatally in consumption.
