BATTLE-SHIr OREGON SAILS.
Almost a Certainly That Its Destination
Is Honolulu

Almost a Certainty That Its Destination
Is Honotulu.
SEATTLE, WASH, July 9.-The Oregon
put to sea between $3.50 and o'clock this
morning pursuant TO instructions received
yesterday afternoon from the Secretary of
the Navy. It's executive officers had a
busy night of it making ready for what
may prove not only an eventful, but a
history-making journey. Deep concern
was written on their countenances and
one could not help remarking the appar-
ent great interest shown in the affair by
every attache OF the vessel from the low
est to the commander, who, while profess
ing to see nothing extraordinary in the
Governments sudden activity and change
of plans, betrayed an uneasiness born only
of anxiety.
Throughout the night nothing tran
spired warrantlng modification as to the
belligerent aspect.of things portrayed in
the dispatches of last evening. That the
Oregon is Honolulu bound is even more
apparent to-day, and the only thing about
which there seems longer any doubt is
whether it Will proceed direct to the
Hawaiian Islands from Angeles or go by
way of San Francisco, there to receive ad-
ditlonal instructions, as we'll as fuel and
supplies.
A remark let drop late last night to a
prominent citizen of this city by one of
the Oregon's officers indicated that the
battleshlp's course to the islands would
be by way of San Francisco, but that the
delay would be of short duration.
As the American man-of-war steamed
by Port Townsend this morning it passed
coming this way great Japanese
merchant vessel whose mails carried
papers supposed to contain, or be reflex
OF, the feelings of the Mikado's Govern
ment and subjects toward the United
States, and it is significant that their
editorial utterances breathed deep seated
spirit of defiance. Some went so far as to
advise sending a Japanese naval feet 10

holes"

boiled beans and a half-gallon of fresh
water every three days. Before the ex
piratiOn OF that time the water had be-
come so impregnated with foul gases that
it was absolutely poisonous. Using wafer
for ablutions was scarcel ~ thought OF. She
was required to perform menial work of
such a nature as an American scavenger
would shrink from. She had seen the
lash used upon the barely covered backs
of refined women whose natures rebelled
against performing this class of work. 1t
was not Righteousness on the part of these
women, but they absolutely could not
do it.
From 180 pounds avoirdupois Mrs. Cas-
tello shrank to rs pounds when she was
released from her living tomb during
the latter part of Nav, after her husband
had been shot down like dog before
her eyes for alleged insubo rdnation. She
had seen him but thrice up to that occa-
sion since their happy home had been
broken up.
On the day of his murder he, with a
gang of others, was, for some purpose
being driven past the woman's stockade.
Mrs. CASTILLO, observing his almost death
like appearance, saluted him with the ad-
monition to bear up like a martyr.
II can't, my love-" replied he, in faint
tone, 81 fear | will die before night"
No sooner had he uttered these word.
than a guard placed revolver muzzie to
his temple and sent bali crashing
through it.
This was the insubordination poor Cas-
tello was guilty of.
Mrs. Castello was removed to the home
OF friend in Bayamo twenty-four hours
af;er her husbands cruel murder and re-
mained there until she was able to travel
to Havana. There she was sent to New
York and from the Junta she received
sufficient money to reach haven of rest,
if not OF comfort.

had been received, but in the absence of
official information he declined to con-
firm the report.
1t was, however, learned that WI Ting
Fang will be transferred to Toxic to sue
ceed Yu Keng. who was formerly Minister
at that place. Charges have been pre-
ferred against Yu keEg, and his conduct
of affairs in Japan has been under investi-
CATION by Lii Hung Chang for some time
1t was finally decided to relieve him and
he will be replaced by WI Ting Fang.
The latter will be succeeded by Lee King
Yee, now Chief Clerk of Foreign Affairs
and directly under Lii Hung Chang Lee
King is man of large experience in dip
lomatic affairs and has grown up under
the tutorship Of the great Premier. He is
about 30 wears ola and has spent many
years on the bench as Tao Tai" or chlef
magistrate of Ching Lang.
About the time that Minister Fang was
sent to this country Lee King was sum-
the position of Chief Clerk of Foreign
Affairs. As such he took an active part
in the investigation of charges against
Yu Keng, and has probably had some
thing 10 do with the transfer of Mr.. Fang
to Toxic.
The recall of Fang and his transfer tc
Toxic are looked upon here 8 both a pro-
motion and degradation. 1t is argued
that the representative of China in Wash
lngton is Minister proper while that in
Toxic is Minister resident. The first is
mlnlstership of the second class, while
the Minister resident is the third class OF
ENJOYS abroad. At the same time, owing
to the recent mplications between Chins
and Japan, the legation at Toxic has as
sumed Importance far exceeding that o
the United States.

having made representations to Emperor
Franz Joseph in favor of the annexation

''As friend / must advise you in your

clude a peace forthwith upon the basis
which has been unanimously proposed by
the En- bassadors of the European powers.
The frontier line proposed by the military
attaches corresponds with the principle OF
stategic rectification adopted originally
by your Majesty, and constitutes. with the
other conditions of peace, the maximum
OF concessions recognized as equitable by
the concert OF the powers, which are firm
and united in their determination and
which desire above all to create a condi-

solid guarantees OF peace and tranquility.

To Tax Itinerant Doctors.

After debate the Iowa senate adopt
ed section imposing tax of $3.50 q
year on itinerant doctors. Protection
Of the public health is the sole justifi-
cation for the medical practice act,
and it is generally conceded that the
law gives as much protection as it
can when it requires proof of con-
siderable practice, a satisfactory ex-
animation by the state medical board,
or evidence of satisfactory examt
nation elsewhere, as requisition for
permission to practice. This shields
the public from charlatans. But If a
man be a qualified doctor under the
terms Of the law, it is extremely
doubtful if he can be taxed $3.50 a
year because he is an itinerant. Medi.
cal skill, though intangible, is a sub,
ject of interstate commerce the same
as iron, steel or leather, and being
such it may be seriously questioned
III the state can levy tax on foreign
that is not levied upon home doctors
II payment of the tax is to be one Of
the conditions of practice, the domes
tic physician must pay as well as his
itinerant brother. Assuming the
duly certified competency
to practice, tie levy of a tax upon
him is not in the interest of the pub
lie health but of monopoly, and what
ever the pretext or excuse the gem
leral assembly is without authority to
enact legislation for such purpose.

Now they are out with method of

plies food in an artificially digested
form and at the same time aids the
digestion of other foods in the stom-

the Shaker Digestive Cordial, dys-

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
L legislative Restrictions Detrimen-
tai to Public Good,

SAO DeCCer men IN 1CS legislative nallS,
and in the management of municipal
affairs as well. In state legislation
upon most public questions, what is
uppermost in the minds OF party
leaders, chow will this or that line
of policy affect our party" not
whether it is for the public good. In
our legislation touching the manu-
facture of alcohol in the state, while
permitting and regulating its sale,
the legislature has pandered to fake
sentiment, instead of listening to the
broader and better principle that will
allow a people to manufacture all
that it has facilities for, and which is
permitted to be bought and sold in
the state. Three hundred thousand
dollars worth of corn in Iowa that
is produced without profit, much of
it drug upon the producers hands,
goes out of Iowa, and after being
manufactured is returned to the
state and its use is permitted in the
arts, in proprietary medicines and in
various ways and uses, the law pro-
tecting it's sale and use for these pur-
poses.
And so with our barley; we refuse
to allow its manufacture in Iowa but
send it to other states where it is
made into beer; then through mulct
legislation, we provide for it's sale as
beverage in Iowa. Thus employment
is denied to our idle and unemployed,
our raw material is sent out of the
state for manufacture, and the pro-
duct returned, the consumers pay
ing freight both ways.
Beside the folly of such legislation
as this, our legislature caps the eli
max of legislative folly by giving pro-
lection to our medical men in the
form of a tax of $3.50, upon the class
Of physicians who are eminent as
specialists in the cure of chronic diff
culties. 1t is a legislative pronuncia-
mento to the sick and afflicted, who,
without benefit, have had treatment
from their local physicians, denying
them aid or relief within the borders
Of Iowa, from eminent specialists
who could give it to them. Those
who have the means and the physi-
cal strength can go beyond the state
and spend their money, but to those
who have neither the money or the
strength requisite, it is proclama,
ton of death.
Their is no more justice in thus
protecting medical quacks than there
would be to provide for the protec-
ton of legal quacks. The people
soon find out the mental caliber Of
both classes and are capable of ad
ministering the proper corrective and
will most assuredly do it, the one
class being without patients, the
other without clients. In our loca
affairs we have an ordinance requir
lug license of ten dollars day from
specialists who may come here tt
treat cases OF long standing which
local physicians have failed to cure
We do not believe such protective
tariff is needed by our local physic
ians;if it is they had better seek some
other employment. The talk that i
is for the protection of the science O
medicine is the merest bosh, there
no such science; the practice Of med
cine being grand system of exper
ment. Should bill be introduced t
protect the science of mathematic
the member introducing it would b
laughed out of the halls of legislatio

There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rene
dy fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary pas
sages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that UNI
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp ROOTS soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
sing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. Sold by
druggists price fifty cents and one
dollar. You may have sample bot
