Came to the Assistance of the Govern, ment at a Critical Time and Upheld the Credit of the Country. NEW TORK, AprU 4. At th banquet ot the Manhattan company Inst night. Secretary of the Treasury Gaffe referred to the circumstances of his visit to this city In 1S6 and the assistance ho ob tained from the banks. "It was a time," he a(d, "when the government of the United States hnd re. duccd Its roW reserve to somothlng over $40,000,000. It hnd offered Its securities o the public. It hod Invited a popular loan, tho credit of the government wns being attacked and rt was facing a mighty vol. umo of HnWlltlee for which It had no assets to provide and no money to pay. "It appealed to the country to give It resources in exchange for It securities. It was the second appeal wlfhln a short . period of time and the nation was threat, ened with a change to new standards of valuo And every Interest was threat ened wfth bankruptcy and chaos. Most of you had previously brought your re sources to the aid of the government. Now declining values appeared to have made a loss certain. Mr. On Re eulogized the patriotism of the New Tork banks at this critical time, and snld that to their action then was now due the fact that the credit of ithe Unltd States was unimpaired. It hnu been reported In the ne-iarrs that th" treasury contemplates a further Issue of bonds. "I do not pec any need of fueh notion, " snld Mr. Oflge. "The treasury now has $l.0o0,000 of nt money, and after rnv. ment of the Spanish claim there w'll he $?it 000.000. The condition of the financial market 1s not such as to create anxiety," Notwithstanding the henvy war ex penses.

Attorney OeneraJ Oflgg Rule That Can. teen May 80S Intoxicant Th Temperance Paopl Aroused. WASHINGTON. Ayr9 l-Ths were. tary of war recently requested th. optn. Ion of th attorney general a to whether section 17 of the act passed t 4 he tut session of congre, "Inoreaotog th effi ciency of the army," prohibit th. coo. Unuanc of th sale of intoxicating drink by th government In th. canteen section) of post exchange which are organised and maintained at th. various army poU and encanpment throughout the United fltavt... The attorney general In hi reply bold lliat the aaotlon in question doe not pro. hlbft th continuance of the sal of in toxicating liquor through canteen sec tion, a heretofore organised; and oar lied on, except that no .fflcer or enlisted man can be detailed for duty In canteen sections to do th. selling. The decision of Attorney General OHgg on the canteen legislation of th. last con. gress has already stirred the tempera ance and religious element to activity, anl tonight th auperlnteodent of legis lation of 4he National W. C T. V. and the head' of the reform bureau, announced that they would not submit without fight LOOK ON THIS PICTURE uri,i Wheat and Flour Bhlpplng (Oregontan. April 4. 18). The exports of wheat and flour from the Pacific coast for th.' month of March wore 1.SO1.KI0 bushel of wheat, valued at tf HO. and S0.4M barrels of flour, valued at $T3i.d Tbe business was bandied by the different porta follows: Bushel. Value. Barrels. Value. Portland 1,0UB.1S3 $9.2i: 109.038 . $3n.4ir7 Tscoma and 8eattle SO.Ou) 1SS6 4S.5S1 San Krunclsco K 440 6S.JJS 104.SU J55.C8 San Francisco's flour shipments Included nearly Si ,000 barrels- whkh was sent from Portland, and which Is not Included In Portland's total, but la Included in San FrancUco'. THEN ON THIS EXPLANATION OF IT Analysis of the foregoing table shows the STARTLING FACTS (1) that wheat in Portland Is worth SO cent a bushel: iZ) that wheat In Tacoma Is worth 63 cents a bushel, or one dollar a ton MORE THAN IN PORTLAND: and (3) that wheat In San Franctooo Is worth 71V cnta a bushel, or about $3.65 a too MORE THAN In Portland. Also that the Columbian basin farmer lost on their wheat In tbe month of March nearly $300,000 because Portland's road (th. O.R.4N. Company) refuse to make Astoria the seaport Instead of Portland. This means about FOUR MILLION DOLLARS OF ANNUAL LOSS to these farmers, according to the OREGONIAN'S OWN FIGURES. Doe th. Oregontan take Its country read- er for fool who cannot read and se through statfatloa like these? If the de. duoMon here made by th Aatorian are not correct, let the Oregon Ion dare DIS PUTE and DEBATE the point. Let all he reader of th. interior and tha paper that are supposed to represent them take notice that the Oregoniaa will not undertake to refut the fact here stated. FOUR MILLION DOLLARS per year! Isn't thl a Urge sum of money for the Columbian basin producer to roruribute to tbe pockwts of a few rich men who never. produced a grain of wheat or any other form of material wealth in their lives! FOUR MILLION DOLLARS A TEAR! Isn't thla a pretty bl price for the toilers of the North, west to contribute to a pool which Is divided with the railroad, of which the Oregonlan Is the chferf champion, to bribe that railroad to stop the wheat at Portland and refuse to send It down on a cwrnmon point rate to Astoria, the KBAL SEAPORT to the Interpretation put on the law by the attorney general. This would appeal to tne presiaem rumseii. iiiey ai the exwutton of the lew rests with the president; that. If he chose, the power :ing the accident, sent back her boats and was In his hands to suppress absolutely succeeded In rescuing the following: the sale of liquor In the army, and that William Bockwood, chief engineer, they would not rest satisfied until Mr. Clyde Iigbtner, flrat assistant ens'..
