The smnllpox Is of a malignant type.

In Oregon during the pant few year.
The disease was introducedJn Khanlko
by a newly arrived I'eniisylvunlan, who
had contracted It In his home state. The
loctors said that he was suffering from
JuiBon oak, and treated him for it until
died a few days later. During all
tel, and a large number of people were !
exposed to the disease. Among the Mint I
to contract it was a sister of Dr. Homer J
1. Keeny. of this city. Dr. Keeny went
to Shaniko to attend her. and there I
he learned of the epidemic and at once j
reported It to the State Hoard of Health, j
Yesterday the board decided that condt-
tions were very .serious and that strin-
gent measures should be adopted, and !
Dr. Hutchinson was Instructed to go to I
Prlnevllle at once. He left last night.
After visiting Prlnevllle he will go to
Shaniko and the other cities.
Hefore leaving, Dr. Hutchinson said lie
would quarantine all cases of smallpox
find vaccinate all persons who have l cn
exposed to the disease. It is In the
power of the State Hoard to enforce a
rule of compulsory vaccination, but this
will not be done unless there should be
a further spread of the dlsaese.

Richmond Plerson Hobson. the man
who run the gauntlet of the Spanish,
bntterles and sunk the collier Merrimac
in the channel in order that Cervera's
fleet might be bottled up in Santiago
Harbor, arrived in Portland this morn
ing. In spite of the notoriety achieved In
many ways, Mr. Hobson Is an unassum
ing person. lie dresses plainly, has lit
tle to say. and does not like to talk
of his personal exploits.
From past events and the fire of fame
which burned the name of Hobson in
delibly into the American escutcheon,
one might be led to expect a private
car. u retinue of servants, a valet and
other conveniences of modern travel.
Hut there is nothing of the kind. Mr.
Hobson Is traveling alone.
lie hay a worl; to perform and Is lec
turlng in favor of an increased Amer
ican navy. KugHliv -A. pond is travels
IriK agent for Mr. Hobson, and attends
to the details of ills tour, which is in
the nature of political preparation and
an inspection of scenery.
Speaks Here Tonight
Tonight, at the Y. M. C A. Auditor
ium. Captain Hobson will lecture on the
American navy, the address beginning
promptly at x o'clock. He will leave on
the 1 1 L'o p. m. train for Seattle, where
he will speak tomorrow, and will from
that point take up his return Journey
toward the East. The last lecture of
Mr. Hohson's tour will be delivered at
Cheyenne. Wyo.. on May 5. He came
here from California.
j Polite, affable, a representative type of
the perfect Southern gentleman. Mr.
Hobson talked without reserve to The
Journal.
"1 believe that the rimy rafe course
for the I'nlt -d States to pursue, the
only course that Is not fraught with
dangers innunu ruble, is to constantly
add to and improve her naval force." he
said.
"We are the arbiters of the destiny
of the worlds polities and the world's
policy. It is o.ur geographical right to
stand 11.1 the barrier between the am
bition of one nation and the cupidity of
another. It Is our geographical loca
tion that makes a strong navy neces
sary. Therefore all look toward us.
We are the only real power on the
American continent and all questions
relative to tills half of the world must
be referred to us. Lately we have
added holdings In the Orient and the
Oriental policy of the world must heed
our voice.
Must G-o by Sea.
"We cannot march to any other nation
by land. We must do our traveling by
water and a navy Is a nicessity to make
that travel safe. We have more ex
posed seacoast than any other nation
on the earth We have more propvrty
in goods and merchandise upon the
high seas than any other nation. There
fore we must have a navy and a
strong one,"
Mr. Hobson Is six feet tall and he
drew himself to his full height and
smiled In genuine enjoyment as Ad
miral Dewey's statement in regard to
the Inefficiency of the German navy was
recalled to his mind.
"1 presume the admiral knows what
he Is talking about, and has good rea
sons for what hi said. Personally I
believe we should not place too much de
pendence upon the personnel of our
fleet, but should give our sailors the
strongest kind of floating fortresses
from which to fight."
"Hut you believe, do you not, that tho
personnel of the American navy Is the
equal of any lightinc force In the
world?" was asked.
"Most certainly,' was the Immediate
reply. "But we have no riirnt to assume
that it Is superior to that of nations
ngalnst whom it never has been pitted.
Wo have never locked arms with Oer
many. We should not fear we should

.THOSE WHO ENTERTAIN
AT LOCAL THEATRES
(By Will A. Dart)
Harry Corson Clarke met th approval
or everybody at tna iiukei yesterday.
Two capacity houses wit nessed "His
Absent Boy" and It aeems safe to fore
cast, pleasant business during the time
Mr.f Clark, his company an i their work
remain on the local boards.
For a galloping comedy the play pre
senter yesteraay naa not i.,.ti excelled
at the Baker. Following closely on
the heels of "A Night (iff much was
expected of the Clarke people, nnd every
one or tne memoers mane exceedingly
good. A VOgle crowd of fun. Makers, with
a natural-born comedian :n ti... principal
figure, ia what the Clarke . ,im,,Bny cftn
be styled. In the two h Ur that it
takes to run through the entertainment
there is not a moment of Idleness. Tne
play Itself Is quite meritorious Some
of the lines are -of erudite character, al
though, toward tne windun in the last
act, dialogue Is thrown in with shovels.
Coming back to Mr. Clarke, it should
be aaid that he is all that cm be desired.
, There is not a studied situation In his
work. Listening to him. on,, laughs
spontaneously. And with i,. r two ex
ceptions there was a cornj.lei, absence of
that bug-a-boo- horse play Mr. Clarke
la funny without know me it, anj no
matter how hurly-burly becomes the
action of plays he is mlx-l up n. there
is not an effort on his im to make
people laugh. This cornelian off the'
stage is a merriment maker He will
talk In a hotel corridor and within a
very few minutes a oi,i,iimentary
bunch of listeners will he smiling out
loud. So much for Harry ( orson Clarke.
The Stage settings of ills Absent
Boy" are very eumpqtuous j., fact there
are no details left out K.n the clock
Is going and the hands mark the proper
hour. Nearly all stage time pieces are
deceivers, having no works m their little
lnsides. Mr. Clarke's el u k k, s.
As to the arrangement of the play
the story is soon told. William Penny's
second wife Is rich and penurious. Her
husband lives on an alien, from her
bands. Penny (Harry Corson Clarke)
finds that he does not get enough money.
He has a habit of going to New York
occasionally and while there takes In the
sights. . He Invents a selienie which Is
successful In unloosening his wife's
purse strings. He tells Mrs. Penny
(Margaret Dale Owen) that he has a son,
lift over from bis first wife, who has
ever been wayward. His wife allows
him $100 per month oi the son's sup
port. Penny spends this money on him
self. Finally Mrs. Penny desires that the
sort be brought homo. This notion of
hers breaks her husband la pieces, for be
cannot produce the boy Around the
unusual events are written the lines of
the piny, and the exposure of the plot
gives great chance for comely work
Miss Owen la very clever In what she
has to do, and mado many friends t
night. The other members of the ....
pany are well suited to their parts "His
Absent Boy" will run through the week
with the regular Saturday matinee.

Barlow's Minstrels were well received
at Cord ray's yesterday and the aggrega
tion deserved all It (ot A neat ar
rangement of olio features, followed by
clever specialties, tells the story. End
men's Jokes were newevery one of
them; so were the songs sung. In chorus
and solo work the company Is strong.
Two Singers Moray Lond and Charles
W. Cameron have exceedingly pleasing
voices. "Honey, Will Tou Miss Me
When I'm Gone?" by Mr. lKng, was
very acceptable and displayed his well
cultivated high tenor voice. "The Bong
I Heard One Sunday Morn." rendered
by Mr. Cameron, was excellent Mr.
Cameron Is a robust tenor who has his
voice in good control. Oeorge Erlckson,
the baritone of the troop, sung "In Dear
Old Fairy land" with pleasing effect.
It has become common with minstrel
organisations to carry with them a
monologue artist There are so few
really clever comedians of this descrip
tion that several companies have added
bad features to their schemes of enter
tainment by employing persons alleged
to be black-face monologlsta. What is
more tiresome than a half-hour stunt
given by some unknown, in an endeavor
to Imitate Lew Dockstader, Billy Van or
George Wilson. Even these star com
edians, high-priced as they are, fall
down about half the time in their at
tempts to amuse. Mr. J. A. Coburn, the
manager and owner of the creditable
band of players at Cordray's. has cut out
all tiresome afflictions and tho mono
logue party Is one of them. Mr. Coburn
supplies a part of the entertainment
that Is very catching. He offers a most
delightful cornet solo. His work In exe
cution Is first class and it can be said
that" he ranks well up with the best cor-
neters of the country.
Returning to the olio. It is well to
touch upon the opening scene, that of
the "Royal Reception In Beautiful
Venice." Special stage settings are car
ried by the management and the In
troductory Is effective enough to cause
the audience to believe that great things
will follow, and they do.
The swinging and throwing of Roman
axes by Varlne and Turrenne la an en
tirely new feature of minstrel attrac
tions In Portland. Tho acrobatic work
of the Kates Brothers Is excellent. Their
hand-balancing and strong-arm feats
were well received and called for repeti
tions several times. Cameron and Tole
doe's operatic act was an encore pro
ducer and gave a pretty touch to tho
whole attraction.
As a whole, Barlow's minstrels this
year are good. Two big houses said so
yesterday and patrons generally know.
Tonight and tomorrow night the enter
tainment will be repeated. The follow
ing Is the arrangement of the program:
Here follows the program:
Opening chorus "Beautiful Venice."
"Hear Old Stars and Stripes."
"Just Kiss Yourself Good-Hye."
"The Bird That Never Sings."
"Mlrindy."
"Song of the Anvil "
"Hi,ney, Will You Miss Me When I'm
Gone?"
Charles W. Milton, J. A. Coburn. cor

In a letter to Secretary Shlllook. of
the Hoard of Trade, C. J. V. i'foundes,
of Kobe, Japan, who was a member of
the Advisory Council of the Parliament
of Religions at the Chicago World s Fair,
suggests that an Oriental Congress be

position to co-operate with any body
that may desire to arrange for such con
gresses as those held In Chicago and
Paris. He believes, though, that the

WANT A NEW
'PHONE fJOMPANY
PORTLAND. Ore., April 13.
To the Editor: There is public de
mand, fur an oppor.it Ion telephone com
pany. The Empire Construction Com
pany of Toledo, Ohio, and l.os Angeles,
Cal.. have, through their, attorney. VV.
i:. Thomas, asked the City of Portland
fur a telephone franchise, nnd have
airced to put in a JSOu.OOO plant if same
is granted.
In showing their good faith, tho com
pany has offered to put Up ulther $25,U0)
in cash or a bond that they will build
the system, put in 3,000 telephones before
any rental. Is charged, and furnish the
city with free telephones. In addition
to this, they have offered to put up an
other bond of $25,00" which Is to go to
the city in case the franchise or plant
is sold to any competing company. . A
petition has been circulated in favor of
granting the franchise, and 90 per cent
of tho representative .business men of
the city have signed it, and It also cur
ries the endorsement of the Uoard of
Trade and the Manufacturers' Associa
tion, yet In the face of fill, this some
of the City Councilman are opposing tha
franchise.
It seems very peculiar that anyone
having th,e progress and best interest of
the city at heart should oppose a busi
ness proposition which will bring about
an expenditure oft. 1600,603 in tha city.
The people of Portland have lonjr bc-en
charged with being slow anil non-progressive,
but it had been felt that they
were outgrowing this and that an era
of progression and aggressive advance
ment had readied us. It seems, however,
that there la some mossbacklam atiU
left. Cut it out! ' : ' 7
