Nothing but rumors
The House and Senate Each Claiming
a Victory.
A BAKER CITY BANK CLOSED
Japs and Chinese ' Preparing for a
Struggle-Portland Has a Dis
astrous Fire.
Th. Condition of the Tariff Bill.
Washington, Aug. 1. Active negoti
ations are proceeding both in the tariff
conference and in influential quarters
outside to bring about a complete agree
ment on the tariff bill, and the predic
tion is made that the end is near at
hand. It is denied with emphasis on
the house side that the senate sugar
schedule and the senate rate on iron
will prevail, and the house be compen
sated by a reciprocity clause on coal. It
is stated the sugar schedule will not be
that fixed by the senate, nor the free
sugar of the house bill, but a middle
ground. Friends of the administration
say there is a good prospect that the
president's insistence on free raw mate
rials will receive substantial recognition
and deny as impossible all reporta that
any agreement has been the basis of ac
cepting the senate rate on coal and iron.
The democratic conferees were together
again two hours today, and at the close
of the meeting the house members ex
pressed the same confidence of a speedy
settlement that they had after the meet
ing yesterday. The senate conferees
can be induced to say but very little.
One Baid there are more indications of
reaching an understanding than there,
hitherto has been.
Baker City National Bank Closed.
; Baker CiTYTAug. 1. The door of the
Baker City National bank failed to open
this morning. Cashier Blake states that
the suspension was brought about by
the Chase National bank of New York
applying funds on deposit to the amount
due on a loan without notice, and an un
expected run of depositors who were
alarmed over the failure of the Arling
ton bank, J. E. Frick being president of
both institutions. The amount owing
depositors is about $75,000, with bills re
ceivable and securities reaching $160,000.
It is confidently expected that business
will be resumed within thirty days.
Japan Apologize, to Kngland.
Tokio, August 1. The Japanese gov
ernment has instructed its minister in
London to apologize to Great Britain for
firing upon and sinking the transport
Kow Shung while she was flying the
British flag. The commander of the
Japanese cruiser Aid not know the Kow
Shung was a British vessel until after
the fight. Captain Galsworthy, of the
Kow Shung, and many other persons on
the transport were rescued by the boats
of the Japanase warship.

Des'Moinis, la., Aug. 1. In his
address as chairman of the democratic
state convention today ex-Governor
Boies said if the democracy would live,
it must fulfill all its promises on which
' Victory was won. Boies discussed the
labor troubles at length, declaring the
strike, aB often conducted, is revolution,
anarchy and the incipient stage of civil
war. '"Sympathetic strikes," he said,
"must go or the unions will be dea
troyed.
- Other Feople Knew It Long Ago-
. Chicago, Aug. 1. "I will never again
be connected with another -strike or or
ganization," said President Debs, of the
American Railway Union today. "The
present strike has developed the fact
that the sentiment of the people of this
country is against strikes and the gov
ernment stands ready to put down such
movements at the poiut of the bayonet.
I shall hereafter advise all workingmen
tcr seek redress by the ballot."
Incident to the Situation.
xSas Francisco, July 30. The steam
ship Gaelic, from Hong Kong and Yoko
hama, brought only 27 cabin passengers
and five whites, fourteen Japanese and
one Chinese in the steerage. This
"is the first time in" the history of the
steamship service between .here and
Hong Kong that so few Chinese have
come to San Francisco. The explana
tion given by the officers of the Gaelic is
that all the able-bodied Chinese were
Highest of all in Leavening Power.

detained, pending the outcome of the
negations that were then going on be
tween China and Japan - when the
steamer was in Chinese water.
Existence of Trust. Unconstitutional.
Washington, July 30. Hutchinson of
Texas has introduced a resolution for an
amendment to the constitution to give
congress jurisdiction over trusts. - The

gan, carrying a lot of stonecutters tools
over his shoulder, appeared . at the
vhite house today and excitedly told
the watchman : "I ' want to see the

der the ground. See? And I want to
tell the president about it, and you must
not stopjme," replied the man nervously.
He was carried to the station.
SnppiMiiof the Dispatches.;
Washington, Aug. 1. A cablegram
announcing the arrival of the United
States ship Monocacy at Nagasaki, Japan,
was received today and is the only
official news that has come to the gov
ernment from its representatives in
China and Japan, and the surmise that
official dispatches are being obstructed
purposely now amounts to conviction.

wool depots of Herman Metzger, and

OWES MOST TO THE DUTCH.
Few of New Englancts Culinary Ideas Can
Be Traced to Old England.
Even in Connecticut was. the skill of
the Knickerbockers admired, says Har
pers Magazine. A new invention or
improvement was said to "beat the
Dutch." The Delft tiles on the hearth,
the crockery on the dresser, the blue
tiles lining the front of the fireplacos
in the best houses show how the Dutch
had a part in the evolution of the New
England house. Hundreds of open fire
places in New .England were decorated
with these tiles after the Dutch fashion,
and contained not only "proverbs in
porcelain," but abundant Biblical illus
tration. From the evidences of relics
nearly as much of the imported fine
furniture of the northern colonies came
from Holland as from England. Not a
few of the old teapots and other table
service, which followed upon the in
troduction of these oriental hot drinks
which drove out the beer and tankards,
did indeed come over from Holland,
though not on the Mayflower, as so
often anachronistically alleged. When,
too, ' the open fireplace gradually gave
way to supposed improvement, it was
to a Dutch thing with a Dutch name
the stove. Not only in Plymouth, but
elsewhere, numerous houses had what
can be occasionally seen throughout
New England to-day (nor by this do
we mean the later substitute of tin)
a Dutch oven. It was under this spa
cious dome of brick and clay that those
famous articles of Yankee diet, the
pumpkin pie, brown bread; baked beans
and tish balls had their evolution.
No smoker of tobacco in the snow
white meerschaum rejoiced more in his
coloring of the sea foam clay than did
the rosy housewives of Massachusetts
bay in the rich hues of bean, bread and
fish. The Browning clubs of early
days met in the kitchen rather than in
the parlor or vendome. The doughnut
may have been too . cosmopolitan ap
article to claim invention at the hands
of any one people; yet what Yankee
"fried cake" or doughnut ever equaled
an olekoek? Was not cruller, whose
derivation confounds the dictionary
makers, who call it "a kind of" dough
nut, first brought to perfection by
Copt. Kroll (pronounced and sometimes
spelled crull), the whilom commander
and Dutch church elder at .Fort Or
ange? To this day the "cookey"
(koekje), noodles," hodgepodge, smear
case, rullichies, cold slaw and other
dishes that survive in New .England
farmhouses are, despite their changed
pronunciation and spelling, proofs that
the Yankees enriched their monoton
ous menu of early colonial days by bor
rowing the more varied fare of their
Dutch neighbors in the west and south.
As for the popular American winter
breakfast luxury, the buckwheat cake,
it was introduced from Central Asia by
the Hollanders, acclimated, cultivated,
named "beechmast" (bockweit), and in
the form associated with heat, sweets,
aroma and good cheer is a Dutch inven
tion. Aw average Of'one person in 15,000
