A'eheAoh VI sHe oroer Is TO protect Life
and Property in the Territory-Any
Legitimate Business May Operate.
Washington, Nov. 1.-Senator Nc
Bride, of Oregon, saw the secretary of
war and the president today regarding
the report that the new military reser-
vatlon In Alaska would create mon
opoiy for the two transportation COM
panles now operating between that ter
rltory and points in the United States,
He was assured there was no such in
tentlon In the order; that no one would
be excluded from the territory or pre-
vented from engaging in any business
on the reservations. Secretary Alger
said he would telegraph the chamber
OF commerce of Tacoma to that effect.
The intention of the order was solely
that of protecting life and property in
the territory, and any company or per-
son entering the territory would be
given the same rights and privileges
allowed companies or persons already
opeating there.
Senator Mcbride said he had no
doubt there would be no trouble for any
persons operating in Alaska, and the
assurances of the president and secre-
tary were sufficient to quiet all appre-.
tensions that might be felt either in
Oregon or Washington.
The first formal protest against the,
creation of the St. Michaels military,
reservation reached the war department
from Tacoma as follows:
Hon. Secretary of War-We ask for
reconsideration of your order setting
apart military reservation at St.
Michaels, believing that should it
stand it must work to the detriment OF
thousands of our citizens and give
monopoly to the two companies now
located there. !
Citizens Committee, Tacoma,
by George Brown, Secretary"
Secretary Alger made the following
reply:
Telegram received. The military
reservation at St. Michaels was estab-
lished in the interests of the security
OF life and property, the preservation
OF order and the protection of legiti-
mate business interests. No monopoly
was given or intended to any company
or persons. Any proper company or
person who desires to conduct legiti-
mate business there will, on applica-
tion to the war department be given
permission to do so.''

WORSHIP ALONG NEW LINES
Up-to-Date Methodism in a
Chicago Church.
MUSIC BY A BRASS BAND
Thing of the Past-COngregation
Applauded When Band Finished.


Chicago, Nov. 4.-Amid strains of
martial music from full-fedged band,
the congregation of the First Methodist
church at Clark. and Washington
streets assembled for the services last
night. On entering the church, instead
Of the customary choir and minister,
the worshippers saw glittering array
of brass buttons, gilt braid and highly
polished instruments. A military band
occupied the rostrum behind the pull
pit. The faces of small boys in the
audience beamed with delight and the
airs floating out into the street made
the pasasers-by gaze wonderingly at the
windows in quest Of something to in
form them. of what was in progress
within.
This departure from the trodden
path of religious service by the pastor,
Rev. DIR. Brushington, was followed by
another on the part of the congregation.
When the band had finished playing a
lively selection in waltz time, the au-
dience applauded and cheered heartily.
The demonstration by his flock was not
frowned on by the pastor. On the con-
trary, his eyes sparkled with good hu-
NOR as he stepped up to the pulpit and
said: -
81 don't wonder you feel like cheer
ing; this music is what the people all
want and what we must have"
When about half way through his
sermon, DIR. Brushingham turned to-
ward the young men in the bright uni
forms behind him and remarked:
81 must hasten toward the close of
this sermon, for when I finish these
boys are going to give US some more
music, and I am anxious to hear them
play again.

San Francisco, Nov. IA special to
the Call from Redding, Cal, says that
sensational stabbing affray took place
within the bar of the Modoc courtroom,
at Alturas, Wednesday. District At
torney Raker was stabbed with a
pocket-knife by ex-Judge Harris five
times During the progress of a trial
in the superior court, Raker and Harris
got into wordy alteration, in which
there were mutual insinuations of i'm
moralisy. In the midst of the disor-
der, Raker rushed at Harris, striking
out at the latter. and staggering him
with a blow on the head. Harris
then lunged at Raker with an open
pecketknife, striking Raker five times,
inficting a wound at each thrust, lay
ing open his cheek and inficting a Sc
we're scalp wound. 1t is probable that
the district attorney will recover.

ABOUT THE SEALING MATTER .

Chamberlain's Charges.
UNREASONABLE

Priby1of Islands Are the Property OF
the United states-May Be Difii.
cult Matter to Settle.
London, Nov. 2.-Hermann Liebes,
of the North American Commercial
Conn pany, and one OF the lessees of the
Pribylof islands, has made statement
in refutation OF the charges put forward
by Mr.. Chamberlain, secretary of state
for the colonies, in his recent dispatch
to Secretary Sherman. Liebes says in
part:
'There can be no doubt whatever
that the Pribyloff islands are legitimate
ly owned by the United States. and
the United States, had an undoubted
right to grant a lease of the seal fisher
les upon the islands to the highest bid
der, viz: my company, and there car
be no further doubt that the United
States government has an absolute
right to give the lessees permission te
kill every seal frequenting the rocker.
les. If America were to exercise its
right to kill off all the seals upon
Pribyloff islands, the whole seal herd
would be exterminated in less than a
week, and pelagic sealing in Behring
sea would be brought to summary
end. The object of America, however,
is to preserve and not to exterminate
the seals, though we may be ultimately
driven in self-defense to kill off the
seals. as. under present conditions,
sealing is not profitable. ...
'"What was desired by America and
the lessees of Pribyloff islands is that
all parties interested, both in land and
ocean sealing, without moments loss
of time, confer with the view of. seeing
whether or not some arrangement can
be made by which, by fair and equit.
able terms by both parties, the heard
can be protected. do not myself be-
lieve that any solution can be found
which does not include as one of it's
terms the absolute prohibition of all
pelagic sealing.
''This ought not to be difficult mat.
ter to arrange, having regard to what
assert as an undoubted fact, viz: that
pelagic sealing is not and cannot be,
under the present conditions, profitable.
A great deal has been said about Russia
and Japan. 1t is suggested that, as
they were not parties to the Paris
treaty and are not bound by any regu.
lations, and are said to be concerned
only in the seal fishreies of the western
;'nd not of the eastern coast of the
North Pacific, their presence at any
conference would be out of place and
would be only desired by America to
secure from these. countries majority
vote against British interests. The
whole objection to Russia and Japan
being represented at any conference is,
l venture to think, most unreasonable.
There is no question of voting in the
matter; the conference is merely held
with the view of arriving, if possible,
at some solution by which the herd
shall be saved from determination, but
SO many difficulties and delays arise
that I very much fear that by the time
the conference has been held, there will
be no seals to confer about"

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
[Ofice of Downing, Hopkins & Co.., Chicago
Board of Trade Brokers, 711-714 Chamber of Com
merce Building, Portland, Oregon.l

Facts established sooner or later con-
troll wheat values. Speculation may
temporarily advance or depress values,
but in the end the laws of supply and
demand are sure to assert themselves
and control values. It has been self
evident proposition for several weeks
past that conditions warranted higher
values. Speculative influences have
repeatedly driven prices downward. bus
the market has rebounded with the
buoyancy of a cork upon the water.
The news announcements of the week
have been uniformly favorable to high
er values. Crop advices at home indi-
cate less than an average acreage seeded
to winter wheat, owing to the pro-
tracted drought, which has been broken
only in certain sections of the winter
wheat belt. Receipts at primary points
are falling off and promise from this on
to prove smaller than last year. Ex-
port clearances continue large, 5,991,-
900 bushels for the week, which is
largely in excess of our exportable sur
plus weekly. The export demand shows
no signs of diminution. On the con-
trary, it is urgent and increasing, the
last few days of the week having re-
suited in very large sales for export.
Foreign advices continue extremely
bullish. The reports Of our own con-
suls in Europe more than confirm the
maximum estimates of European i'm
port requirements. Advices from Lon
don assert that Mediterranean ports are
p,,+hiaHSpor E,,r1orI PrS xrhoo$
The French chamber of deputies has
been petitioned to reduce the import
duty on wheat, and some action in this
direction will probably be taken sooner
or later, although not necessarily at
present, Russian advices, although al
ways unreliable and largely mythical,
are extremely bullish and must neces-
sarily have some foundation on fact.
The Argentine crop is still an unknown
quantity. Reports are conflicting.
Drought conditions have prevailed.
Locusts have caused some damage, and
in the absence of reliable reports it can
not be assumed that the crop will be
large one in yield. Local speculative
conditions are extremely favorable for
higher values. Stocks on contract grain
are very small, practically exhausted,
and there is no immediate prospect Of
their being replenished. We can dis
cover nothing in the situation at home
or abroad warranting any declines in
values, and would regard any decline as
but temporary. unwarranted, and
therefore good speculative opportun-
ity to buy wheat, the final outcome of
which we anticipate to be much higher
prices.
