THE SIBERIAN TRADE Russia Contemplates a Duty on American Products. MAY GO INTO EFFECT JANUARY 1 Pacific Coast Exporters Woulrl Ki af- reeled—A Matter of Heep Concern. Portland, Or., Nov. 7.—Coast ex porters who have beeu working up a fine trade with Siberia are Somewhat concerned over the report that the much-talked of duty on American goods entering Russian territory will be en forced after January 1. This matter has been under discussion for several years, and periodical threats of its en forcement have been heard from time to time, but thus far no decided action has been taken. The probabilities of something being done are greater now than they were on account of the new ports m the Pacific provinces being much better suppied with American goods than ever before. American lumber has been used in ties, bridges, and for other building purposes in con nection with the great Siberian rail road. Pacific coast wheat. Hour, oats and other provisions have also found a big market among the thousands of the czar’s subjects who have swarmed into the ports of Vladivostock and Port Arthur and the surrounding country, which is being tapped by the great trans-Siberian railroad. The levying of this duty is a matter of deep concern to this coast, as it is from these ports that most of the large shipments of lumber and flour have been forwarded, and already a start had been made in other lines. Ex porters who are in touch with the situ ation arc not disposed to discuss the matter very freely yet, and hope that the issue will be again postponed, as it has in the past; but the lact that a number of hurry orders for flour have been received by parties who are sup posed to be in very close touch with the ruling powers at Vladivostock and Port Arthur, would indicate that there is more than usual cause for alarm at the present time. Russia has recently established a steamship line between Odessa anil Vladivostock and Port Arthur, and if the duty is en forced, it will probably be with a view to shutting American lumber and Hour out of the Siberian ports in order that the same commodities from the Black sea will be given the preference. COREA KING’S PRESENT Gives Food and Tobacco to the Allied Forces—Situation in China. Tongku, China, Nov. 6. — A gift of a large quantity of flour, rice and to bacco from the king of Corea to the al lied forces has arrived here and been forwarded to Tien Tsin for distribu tion.

There weie iu all 3,116 sacks of flour, 986 sacks of rice and 2,060 boxes of cigarettes, which have been apportioned among the respective troops. The share of the Americans has been forwarded to the men at Pe kin. The gift caused considerable com ment here, especially in view of the fact that the letter from the Corean ruler expressly requested that the sup plies be equally distributed among the forces.

Pittsburg, Nov. 5.—With a grate ful enthusiasm past all precedents, the fifth founder's day of Carnegie insti tute was celebrated today. In and around the beautiful building more than 5,000 people thronged in their de sire to express to Andrew Carnegie their appreciation, to the distinguished guest of the day. Minister Wu Ting Fang, their homage, and of the treas ures of art and science and literature their regard. Minister Wu, the speaker of the day, was greeted with prolonged applause. He said in part: "China has a great deal to learn from this young republic. I hope, nowever. that she will learn, not the arts of war, which have for their sole end and aim the destruction of life, but the arts of peace which make for the happiness and welfare of the people. No nation can become really great by war. True greatness does not lie in the extent of territory nor in the strength of battalions, but in the char acter of the peopli. From personal observation I am inclined to the belief that the American people possess the element of national greatness in a high degree. “The test of loftiness of character is to possess boundless power without abusing it. Wealth is power. Where can you find such vast accumulations of wealth in private hands as in Ameri ca, with so little attendant evil felt by society? I have seen countries where the rich oppress the poor and the poor curse the rich. There money is the root of all evil. The reverse seems to be the case in America. Here the rich use the ample meaDs at their disposal for the benefit of the people, and the people have good reason to bless the rich. In other words, American men of wealth are public benefactors. I have not far to go for an example. In your midst you have a signal instance of this class of philanthropic men of wealth. This institution is an endur ing monument of the founder’s munifi cence. Here one can find the most effective means for the enlightening of the mind and the uplifting of the soul. Books, paintings and sculpture and specimens of objects possessing educa tional value are accessible at all times and to all poisons. The day will soon come when foreigners will visit this city, not so much to see the great in dustrial establishments as to see this institution, which spreads its influence far and wide. This city will be equal ly famous for the great educator as for a manufacturing center. May this standing monument of the founder’s benefaction stimulate others to follow this noble example. May the ‘Found er’s day,’ which I heartily join with you in celebrating, be ever observed from year to year as an event of na tional interest.” After the exercises a reception was tendered to Minister Wu in the art gallery, where the distinguished guest met and shook hands with about 1,000 people. Lived 133 Year«. OW Hffl Sweeping Republican Victory. NEXT CONGRESS REPUBLICAN McKinley Carrie« New York by 150,000 Big LandHlfde in Illinol«—Maryland, Went Virginia and Nebravka in the Republican Column. New York, Nov. 7.—It became evi dent at a very early hour this evening that the election of McKinlev and Roosevelt was assured. The president carried the state of New York by 150,- 000 plurality. As the night progressed, it only served to confirm this judgment, but the returns from Illinois revealed a like condition. The Repul bican plu rality of 1896 was greatly reduced, but it was still far too large to be over come. On the othei hand, the returns from Indiana, Michigan, the two Dakotas, Utah and Wyoming, as well as Nebras ka, seem to indicate steady Republi can gains over 1896. Delaware, Mary land and West Virginia, have given de cided Republican pluralities. The count in several of the far West ern states was naturally so delayed as to give little indication of the opinion there, but they had ceased to have a determining effect, and before 10 o’clock the Democratic leaders had given up the contest and it was an nounced that Mr. Bryan had gone to bed and was sound asleep. The whole story was easily and briefly told. The Republican ti ket would have a larger electoral vote than four years ago, but in the larger states of the East and Middle West the plu ralities of 1896 had been greatly re duced. Mj>sschnsetts bad fallen from 174,000 to 50.000 New York, 268,000 to 150,00«, and Illinois from 14 2,000 to 100,00« or less. The 57th congress seems to be Re publican by a substantial working ma jority. Bryan carried all the Southern states, as usual, along with Colorado, Idaho, Montana and oue doubtful state, Kentucky, by a small plurality. Doubtful states which went for Mc Kinley are Maryland, West Virginia and Indiana, all by small pluralities. McKinley’s purality in Ohio is 75,- 000, in Michigan 80,000. Nebraska, Brvan's home state, went Republican by a small plurality. The New England states and Penn sylvania are, as usual, iu the Republi can column. McKinleys plurality in Iowa is 100,- 000, Kansas 30,000, Minnesota 30,- 000. ________ THE COAST. California, Oregon and Washington all went for McKinley The contest was close in California, but it is expected the state will give McKinley 10,000 plurality. Oregon gives McKinley 14,000 plu rality, but few counties goiug Demo cratic. Washington goes for McKinley bv a small plurality, probably 5,000, but the state ticket is much iu doubt, with the probability that Rogers, Democrat, is elected governor. The legislature will be Republican. The electoral vote will probably be as follows: McKinley, 292; Bryan 155. New York, Nov. 5.—George Wash ington Freemen Horner Green, a former negro slave, died in the alms hospital at Hempstead, L. 1., yesterday at the reputed age of 123 years.

NEW EMERGENCY RATION. Experiment on Troop« In Active Servic« in the Field. Fort Reno, O. T., Nov. 7.—The board of officers detailed by the war department to find,if possible an emer gency ration that will meet all the re quirements of troops engaged in active warfare, while away from their base of supplies and in a hostile country, where provisions are scarce, leit here yesterday with a detachment of 25 men front troop A, Eighth Cavalry, for ex perimental purposes. The men will observe the same routine as if they were engaged iu an active campaign against the enemy. The members of the board are: Captain W. Fountain, Eighth cavalry, and Captain 8. W. Foster, Fifth cavalry. Captain and Assistant Surgeon J. D. Poindexter, stationed at Fort Reno, accompanied the exepdition. A single ration is sup posed to contain enough food to sustain a man a day, and in its package weighs slightly more than a pound. The board has two different emer gency rations, witn which it will ex periment. The first is a ration pre pared by the board after an examina tion and analysis of the food prepara tions used in nearly all the European armies. The board’s observations and conclusions are embodied in the ration which was manutactured under its supervision. The second is a ration produced by a company at Passaic, N. J. The New Jersey ration consists of tea in place of chocolate, and a combi nation of meat aud breadstuffs, com pactly arranged. The board’s own ra tion consists of two cakes of pure sweet chocolate, three cakes of a combina tion of meat and breadstuffs in com pressed form, and small quantity of salt aud pepper for seasoning. Cap ain Fountain, who is president of the board, said of the experiment: "Our expedition will leave Fort Reno just as if it had been called sud denly away from its base of supplies to fight an enemy in an unknown and hostile country. The routine daily life will approximate as closely as possible the conditions of actual warfare. Five regular field rations and five of the board’s emergency ration will be issued to each man at the start. ‘‘For two days the men will live on the regular armv ration. On the third day this field ration will be abandoned and the men put on the emergency ration, which will be their only food for five days. The test will be as rig orous as possible so far as food is con cerned. The result will form the basis of the Ixiard’s report to the war depart ment. "At the end of the seventh day we- will leave reach Fort Sill. The men will still have a three days’ supply of tegular field rations, which will be enough to take them back to Fort Reno.” ________ _______ COLLISION AT SEA.
