The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1899-10-25
ORDERED TO MANILA.
New Assignment for Captain Siebold.
Fort Candy Post Chaplain.

Captain John S. Siebold, post chap
lam at Fort Candy, has been ordered
to report to General Shafter at Sar
Francisco in December, TO receive es-
slgnment to some regiment doing ser
vice in the Philippines.
1t is probable that the order will be
annulled. for the captains physical con-
diticn renders it inadvisable to send
him into the field in an unaccustomed
climate. Besides, he lacks only two
years Of retiring, being now more than
g. years of age.
+. Captain Siebold has been an army
chaplain for 20 years, but was not g
ularly appointed until soon after Cleve-
lands first inauguration. He and
Cleveland had been law students to-
gether at Buffalo. n. Y. and at a din
ner party, at which he was a guest,
given in honor Of the latter's election
over Blaine. the host mentioned the fact
thas Mr.. Siebold had been active in
church work among the soldiers, and 1t
was carelessly suggested that he should
be a regularly appointed chaplain.
A few months after Cleveland took
his seat DR.. Siebold received from
Washington papers to be signed pre-
paratory to his being appointed chap
lain in the regular army, with rank and
pay Of captain. 1t was surprise. but
an agreeable one, and he accepted the
position.

THE ALASKA BOUNDARY.
This Country Will Concede No Terri
tory TO Canada,

! LONDON, oct. s4-The Associated
Press is enabled to give, authoritative
ly, Canada's final proposition for the
permanent settlement of the Alaskan
dispute. 1t is very different from her
former demands. and was delivered to
Ambassador Choate by the Canadian
minister Of war, marine and fisheries,
DR.. Louis Henry Davies, late the night
before the latter sailed, and dispatched
today to Washington by officials of the
United States embassy. 1t is as fol-
lows:
That the boundary line be arbitrated
upon terms similar to those imposed by
the United States and Great Britain
over Venezuela, particularly those pro-
visions making so years occupancy
conclusive evidence of title, occupancy
of less than that period to be taken in
equity under international law That
as the condition is q precedent abso-
utely preliminary to arbitration, Skag-
way and Dyea would be conceded TO the
United States without further claims
if Canada received Pyramid harbor.
In other words. Canada gives up
much of the disputed gold country in
return for a seaport. but stipulates that
she must get the latter before she
agrees TO arbitrate the boundary line.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-It is not
possible to accurately forecast the view
thar the state department will take Of
this last proposition, but ii may be
proper to recall the fact that in the
opinion Of the government, Canada has
no more claim TO Pyramid harbor than
it has to SkagTay and Dyea, and the
British government has already been
informed of that belief. Therefore It

naldo says, are members of the Fill

the fall of Malolos, when certain pro-
posals passed between Mr.. D. G.

pine commission and representative
of Aguinaldo, looking to a peace
based upon independence with an
American alliance. Aguinaldo disa
avows the present negotiations, and
adds that under no circumstances
will he accept an American protector
ate. The dispatch concludes with a
contemptuous reference to Major
Arguellas as a Spanish officer who
has no more authority to act on be-
half of Aguinaldo than has Luna
himself.

ly, and could not sleep. She finally
discovered way to recovery, by

Miles Severely Criticised.

The Wade Court Of Inquiry con-
cluded it's work on April %, in con-
nection with the allegations of Gen.
Miles concerning the beef supplied
to the army during the War with
Spain. The report was signed at
at 2:3O p. N. by every member of the
board and soon afterward the mem
bers of the court left the Lemon
buildings, where all the meetings in
Washington had been held. Colonel
Davis, the recorder of the court,
carried the official copy of the find
ings to the War Department and in
the absence of Secretary Alger, de-
livered it to Acting Secretary Meikle-
john. Mr.. Meiklejohn Immediately
sealed the document in an envelope
and forwarded it to the White House,
whence it was dispatched forthwith
to the President in New York.
The report is about 10000 words
and goes fully into the questions
which have been raised in connection
with the army beef. The text has
not been made public and will not be
until after the President shall have
read it. It will then rest with him to
say when the report shall be given to
the public. The verdict, however,
is known to be that the allegations
which Gen. Miles made before the
war commission are not sustained
with reference to the refrigerated
beef, although his contention that the
canned roast beef was not suitable
continuous ration is admitted. There
is direct criticism of Gen. Miles for
failing to promptly bring the atten-
ton of the War Department to re-
ports made to him concerning bad
beer, 'sand several individuals are
censured for failing to observe the
proprieties of their positions as COM
manding officers in this and other
respects"

Stokes to have free mail delivery

The press and people should as
sist Mr.. Stokes in this effort in every
way possible. Bring to bear upon
your immediate representative in
Congress such influence as you may
have, so as to secure his support for
this well-timed measure.
The rapid delivery of mails is de-
manded by the progress OF this
active age in which we live.
The people demand and desire to
keep posted on public affairs.
We must not forget that the voters
are the rulers of this country. Hence
their rights should be respected and
their demands granted.
This Stokes bill is step forward.
Congress should give it trial.

innate is probably much too low
Then the aggregate amount expended
for books would amount to (Sl5O. OOO)
one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. II, as has been shown, the people
here are paying ninety per cent. more
for books than the same books are
being bought for elsewhere, then
there is a clear annual loss of nearly
$4,000 which may be saved by the
proper legislation. Fifteen hundred
to two thousand dollars would thus
be saved to each county in the State.
If there are those who would urge
that an opportunity once enjoyed to
effect these bene6cent results was not
properly improved, the answer would
be that thoughtful men at that
time feared that a combine on the
part of the booksellers might deprive
the schools of the needed supply of
books, and for this reason such legis-
lation was regarded as dangerous. 1t
is an interesting coincidence that the
same hesitancy existed in Indiana ten
years since. The Governor of the
State was so dubious as to the posi-
BILE consequences that he declined to
approve the Act, but being equally
unwilling to veto it, the law became
operative by default. 1t is now no
longer an experiment, but success
full and of course popular statute.
It was not intended in the beginning
to have this paper appear thus early,
but as the writer is entirely unwilling
to be charged with springing this, or
any thing else, in the closing days OF
the campaign for political effect, he
has decided to submit the subject to
the consideration of the public now, in
order that there may be abundant
time for investigation.
Believing that the case has been
clearly made out, if I should placed
at any time in a position when the
proper opportunity will be given me,
I here and now commit myself to an
earnest and persistent effort to afford
the relief indicated in this article.
Seeking truth only and desiring to
be corrected if in error, criticism is
cheerfully invited.

Now, let it not be forgotten that
the books furnished the State of In
diana are by requirement equal to
the best books on the market IN
quality and character.
By taking the above table as a
basis and striking an average it is
found that the text books used IN the
public schools of this State are cost
ing the patrons about ninety per cent
more than the same books are sold
for in Indiana-the cost being nearly
double as much.
It is proper to state that very many
Of the prominent publishing houses
in the country are willing to furnish
the books to the schools OF Indiana
at the prices provided for by the
statute, and that there is never any
difficulty in procuring the needed
supply.
A little figuring here will furnish
an object lesson which may be help
full. Let it be supposed that there
ere 100000 pupils in the public
schools in the State. This is proba
bly, much under the correct num5er'
but figures are not at hand. It vii
not be thought unfair to assume thai
the average annual cost per pupil fo'
school books is fifty cents. (This es

Homestead Of Bankrupts.
Judge Speer Decides an Important
Point in New Law.

Olut LII NEW LAW.
! Savannah, Ga, May 4-Judge
Speer of the Federal district court
for the southern district of Georgia
has made an important decision un-
der the new national bankruptcy
law. It is to the effect that United
States courts have no jurisdiction
over homestead taken by a bank
rupt; that the homestead belongs to
the State courts and cannot be con-
sidered in the United States court as
an asset of the bankrupt; and as re-
CARDS the homestead the trustee Of
the bankrupt must look elsewhere
than to the United States court.
The effect of this decision will be
far reaching and will no doubt be
the cause of many parties going into
bankruptcy who have heretofore held
out. In the case in which Judge
Speer has just rendered this decision
the bankrupt had waived his home
stead by giving notes and the credit
ors of the bankrupt instituted pro-
ceedings to have the homestead ad-
ministered by the trustee as assets.
The judge held that the trustee must
set aside the homestead regardless of
the waived and that the courts are
the proper place to attack the waiver.
When the bankrupt receives his dis
charge from the United States court
all his debt are wiped out and there
is some doubt as to whether the
creditors can then proceed in the
State courts to have their claim and
waiver sustained and their debts sat-
isfed out of the homestead set aside
by the bankrupt court.
