A Trade With Asia Discussed by Ex-Minister Barrett. MANILA ONE STEP TO CHINA Address Was Delivered Before the New York Chamber uf Commerce— I'uciti« Coast Interests Dwelt Upon. A New York, June 3.—The regular monthly meeting of the chamber of commerce was held this afternoon, and the feature was the address of John Barrett, ex-minister to Siam, on “America’s Interests in Far East.” Mr. Barrett said in part: “if the Philippines, with their popu lation of 8,000,000 and area of 115,000 square miles, are an inviting field, China, with iier population of 350,000,- 000, and area of over 4,000,000 square, miles, is far more so. While we wisl to gdin a large share of tl« foreign trade of the Philippines, which now amounts to $32,000,000 a year, and should reach, under American control $100,000,000, we must have great am bitions to secuie the major [’art ot China’s commerce.'which is now $250,- 000.000 gold, and should soon in crease, with ‘open door’ and freedom ol trade, to $350,000,000. “Add to this sum the trade of China proper, which is separated from Hong Kong, and that of the otiier Asiatic countries, and we have an actual total of nearly $1,000,000,000. Are not these figures which should make ue think twice before shirking our re sponsibility? Shall we, in the face ol them, retreat and leave the prize to others, or shall we advance and win our reasonable share? “America is today the arbiter of China’s future. The Pacific coast bar vast interests at stake in tiie develop ment of commerce and trade in the Pa cific and the Far East. Under such de velopment depends largely the future prospects of Caifornia, Oregon and Washington, three powerful giants oi statehood, whose wonderful growth and splendid possibilities must appeal tc you al). These states ask the East not to be sectional in this question of meet ing our responsibilities in the Pacifio. They beg that New England and New York will recognize that as Boston and New York city have built an enoimous trade on the Atlantic, San Francisco, Portland and Puget sound cities wish to rival them on the Pacific. San Francisco would say to Boston, in the latter’s agitation of ahti-expansion ideas: ‘Remember, you are working directly against the interests of the Pa cific coast by such agitation.’ “To you business men of New York I say that the business men of the Pa cific slope are looking for your hearty and effective support in the develop ment of commerce and trade in the Pa cific, and in the holding of the posses sions we have legitimately gotten hold of, believing that you appreciate that the prosperity of the entire country is to be considered, when framing your policy, and not that of the East alone. “You of the East, you of New York, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New Orleans will have Cuba and Potto Rico all to yourselves; we of San Fran cisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Port land, Tacoma and Seattle, contend that you should at least approve of our having some interests and opportuni ties in the Philippines and in China, for we recognize that all may be lost il you do not join us in our efforts to ad vance and protect our interests in th* Pacific. “Briefly summarized, our policy in China should be directed, first, to the preservation of the integrity of the em pire, witli no further alienation of territory; second, freedom of trade tliroughut all China, commonly called the ‘open door,’ as outlined in the old treaties; or, third, in the unavoidable tielimitation of 'spheres of influence,’ -such delimitation as will not close the growing markets to the products of the United States. We should stand for the integrity of China, became we have much to lose and nothing to gain Irv its breaking up. If we retain the Philippines we shall be strong in the south, but we must have, under the :is of China divided, a port in the north, if we would properly main tain our position in the Pacific and Far East.” TRAVEL PAY SCHEDULE. Gen- Otis Is Instructed ns to Amounts Men Should Deceive. Washington, June 3. — Secretary Al I ger has caused the quartermaster-gen eral to make a careful compilation of mileage the Philippine volunteers from each state would be entitled to, rhould they be mustered out at San Francisco. This information was em bodied in a nieesage which was cabled to General Otis. Travel pay, exclusive <if two months' extra pay which each shall receive upon muster-out, ap proximates for Western states as fol lows: Oregon. ♦32 to ♦51; Washington, ♦39 to $62; Idaho, $51 to $81; Montana, ♦53 to $84; Wyoming, ♦55 to $87. Each regiment is to determine by vote whether they shall muster out in Ban Francisco or in the home state. Mr.. Mnybrlck*. Freedom.

Our Social Cui. tout.—Coiinula.lon.r. I.av«* o Ball. San Francisco, Juns 3. — Mrs. Jane L. Stanford, widow of the late Senator Stanford, has formally transferred all of her vast wealth to ti.e university which bears the name of her dead son. Deeds representing property valued at over $10,000,000 have been given in trust to the trustees of the Leland Stanford, jr., university, and this, added to its previous endowment of over ♦15,000,000, makes it one of the richest institutions of learning in the world. The property includes stocks of the Southern Pacific Company, of the Southern Pacific Improvement Com pany, the Market-Street Railway Com pany; stocks in Eastern railroads, in coal mines, in everything that might or might not pay a dividend; real estate in California and elsewhere, and even her jewels. It was believed her jewels amounted in value to nearly ♦ 4,000,000, but this is denied. They will amount to a goodly sum, but not to that figure. There was $8,000 in war revenue tax stamps attached to the deeds of trust. In turning over her pioperty, Mrs. Stanford read an address to the trus tees, suggesting plans for the future and advising as to the present. She asked tiiat there should be established courses in mechanical training. Here after the only control she will exercise over her former vast estate will be that of a trustee of ¿he university. Manila, Jur.e 5.--Tho Philippine commission last night gave one of tlie most brilliant balls Manila has ever seen. It was one of n sMies of enter tainments intended to foster friendship between the Americans and natives. The commission has the handsomest residence in Manila, overlooking the harbor. The grounds surrounding it were illuminated, while the house itself was decorated with the American colors. The newly-appointed judges. Gen eral Otis, a number of other American officials and many wealthy natives were present. There was a display of gorgeous na tive toilets, and many jewels were worn, and the array of handsome women surprised the Americans. There was a long programme of Ameri can and Filipino dances, followed by the rendering of eeveral instrumental selections, ending with “The Star Spangled Banner.” General Smith lias punished the in surgents at Escalante, island of Ne gros, for the murder oi Captain Tilley, of the signal corps, who was tired upon by the natives under a flag ot truoe and cut off from rejoining his companions on board the cable ship from which he had landed. General Smith burned the town and killed a number of mem bers of the bands of insurgents whom lie found in the neighborhood. Three members of the South Dakota regiment were wounded at San Fer nando in the encounter between in surgents and American outposts. MARCHAND AROUSES FRANCE. He Unexpectedly Lashes the Govern ment for the Evacuation of Fashoda. Chicago, June 3.—A special cable tc the Chicago Tribune from Paris says: Major Marchand’s speech at Toulon has fallen like a bomb. Marchand’s previous attitude and his frequent re protestations of loyalty to the govern ment gave no indication of his inten tion to lash the government for the evacuation of Fashoda. The speech is regarded as seditious. Here is the incriminating phrase, spoken in reference to the evacuation of Fashoda: “Seeing what a state of division onr country is in, .over an affair of which I need not speak, we comprehend that France could not make the supreme effort. We felt that our country could not make a proud, energetic reply. Ten centuries of history have taught her that peace was the instant question. Happily, peace was maintainetd, but I believe I can say that of that sort of peace there had better not be too much in France in the same century.” As a result of Macrhand’s speech, a group of city councuilmen today asked that plans for the grand reception to Marchand at the Hotel de Ville be countermanded. The prefect of police has forbidden any one inside the sta tion to meet the hero save government officials, who must be provided with special permits. Bandits Held Up the Union Pacific Overland. NEAR WILCOX IN WYOMING Blew Open the Safe With Dynamite and Are tittld to Have Made a Hielt Haul —Sheriff*’ I'osaeg After the Bandits. Denver, June 5.—A special to the Times from Cheyenne, Wyo., says: At 4 o’clock this morning the Union Pa □ ifio mail and express train No 1, wns •neld up 1 l2 miles from Wilcox station, in this state, by six masked men, evi dently professionals, who blew open the safe of the express car and carried away all its contents, The mail was not touched, on account of the fact that four armed mail clerks were in charge. The mail an 1 express runs as the first section of No. 1, overland limited, The second section follows only five minutes behind. A bridge two miles front the scene of the robbery was filed to prevent the second section from com ing up during operations. A bridge in front of the train was dynamited. The trainmen were all covered with rifles, and the robbers took their time. The value of the plunder is unknown, but is represented as light. The sheriffs of Albany and Carbon counties,with posses and United State» marshals, are after the bandits, who are supposed to be members of the no torious “Hole in the Wall” gang, which has terrorized the state for years. Later advices say that as the train reached the bridge, one of the robbers crawled into the cab, and at the point of a gun ordered Engineer Jones to pull across the bridge and stop. Mean while. the others of the gang were at work itt the express car. Just as the engine pulled off the bridge there was a tremendous explosion that scattered tho express car for a hundred feet in every direction. The end of the mail car was blown in, and eeveral stringers knocked out of the bridge. Engineer Jones was injured *y the flying debris. Bobber« Made a Big Haul. Salt Lake. June 5.—A special to the Tribune from Rawlins, Wyo., says: The Union Pacific robbers at Wilcox obtained ♦36.000 in money and $10,000 worth of diamonds, and a large amount of money in bills was destroyed by the explosoin.

"We hear little in this country now- (days about travel to the Klondike,” raid J. Francis, general passenger agent it the Bullington, to an Omaha ie|x>rt- jr, after an extended trip in the North west, "but when you get into the Northwest you tind there is about as much interest in the Alaskan mining lection as ever. Prospectors are re turning from the North almost every Jay, and the stories they tell keep alive the desire in a certain portion of the people to seek their fortunes in that country. The result is that travel froom Portland, Seattle and Tacoma to Alaska is about as heavy as it has ever been. “But the Klondike mines are not the only ones which contribute to making business lively in the North Pacific coast towns. The mines just north of Washington, in British Columbia, are attracting their share of the attention, and Seattle is deriving great benefit from the tush to that territory. Over in Idaho anil Eastern Oregon there are reports of rich new discoveries, and when the snow leaves the mountains the prospects are that there will be a big rush to these diggings. All in all, miring is taking a new Impetus in the Northwest, and business of all kinds is feeling the benefits of it.” Object« to Being Dead. John Montpetit, of Walla Walla, is confronted by a peculiar situation. He is officially dead, yet very much alive and in good health. He presented himself at the auditor’s office and asked to have the records changed to b I iow that be is still alive. About a month ago the body of man was found under a warehouse with his nose in a tin cup in which a sponge saturated with chloro form had been placed. The remains were identified as those of Montpetit by reputable persons who bad known Montpetit for years and had served tn ihe army with him. They described |he mark on his person and his person- |l characteristics, which were found to (ally exactly with the dead man. The coroner’s jury accordingly returned a verdict that the remains were those of Montpetit nnd that lie had committed suicide. Yesterday Montpetit arrived in the city from the Snake river coun try, where lie bad been working, and is endeavoring to solve the mystery of who lie is. He does not relish the idea of having hie name recorded among the county aichives in the list of self-de- structois, but liow to amend the records is a question. And then another inter esting and tantalizing question arises, if Montpetit is not dead, who occupies bis grave? Mldiumrner Meeting. The meeting of the Oregon State Horticultural Socitey to be held at Sa lem. June 9 and 1Ô, is the most im portant of any meetings ever held by the society, covering as it does, “or ganization and co-operation in the marketing of fruits,” the most vital questions entering into the fruit-grow ing business. As seen by the pro gramme, eminent persons, thoroughly convrsant with these topics will lie there from abrond, and given their ex perience and assist in enlightening the growers of this state along these lines, it is therefore hoped that all progres sive orchardists will be present.
