CONCESSIONS FOR PEACE.
Weaker Powers Given What They
Ask at The Hague.

THE HAGUE, July 19.-The third com
mittee of international arbitration confer
ence met today, M Bourgeois, of France
presiding. At the opening of the sitting
the Roumanian, Grecian and SerVian del
egates Jointly moved the total suppress
sion of the five articles relating to inter
national courts Of inquiry. M Beldiman,
the Roumanian representa- alive, was their
spokesman and addressed the committee
for an hour. He claimed that the propo-
sition for a court of inquiry was not con-
tanned in Count Muravieff's circular, and
was contrary to the principle of national
sovereignty. Roumania, he said, would
gladly pledge herself to the rest Of the
arbitration scheme, but It was impossible
to fulfill these and other obligations.
Chevalier Descamp, the Belgian dele
gate, and Prof. Martens, Russian, de-
Tended the articles, which were finally
passed. on first reading, the three pro-
testing states recording their objection
In the interval between the meeting of
the third committee and of the drafting
committee, which was held later, strong
efforts were made to effect a compro-
mise as regards the motion for the sup
preston of the five articles relating to
international courts of inquiry as the
Roumanian delegates had made certain
remarks not palatable to the delegates
of the powers.
At the meeting of the drafting commit
tee Prof. Martens demolished all of NJ
Beld1man's arguments. He said that as
everything had been done to protect the
weaker states against the stronger, the
former thus obtaining a shield, the COM
mission of inquiry proving this, he was
willing to make some further conces-

ALBANY, July 19.-The report of Aus
ten G. Fox and Wallace Macfarlane, the
two Democratic lawyers assigned by Gov.
Roosevelt to investigate the alleged
frauds under the 100000 canal improve
ments, was made public today It finds
that neither former State Engineer

plete the work, and that while there were
some evasions of the act under which the
work was done by the engineers depart
ment, such evasions were covered by the
law creating the department
Mr.. Aldridge is particularly exempted,
the report holding that nearly all the re-
sponsibility was with the engineering
corps. Special Attorney Benjamin J.
Shove, of Syracuse, Republican, ap-
pointed to assist, acquiesced in the report
and agrees that there are no grounds for
proceedings at law against either official.

Order in Clay County.
FRANKFORT, KY, July 1s-Gov
Bradley will not call a special session of
the legislature, neither will he send
troops to Clay county under present con-

night. He thinks the Legislature would
not enact legislation relating to the ju

A well known mountain official. who
was called on by the governor for an
opinion as to what was the best measure
to be resorted to for the restoration of

thought the whole thing could be settled
by introducing better grade of whisky
into Manchester to take the place of
moonshine liquor, distilleries for which
are on almost every farm.

ter prices or circulate at par, but this
exemption seems to be an injustice,
from the fact that public debts, in the
shape of state, county and city war
rants, are bought up and held by
spectators the same as other securlt-
les, for profit, that is for the accumu.
lating interest. and are no less prop

railroad and other bonds, therefore
should bear their proportionate part
of the burdens of government. The
holder of public wa rants has an ad-
vantage over the owner of similar other
securities iD that his property cannot
be taxed while other securities can,
therefore he has privileges that are not
accorded to other investors.
1t would be urged against taxing
state, county and city warrants that it
would cause them to depreciate in
value, and possibly sell at a discount.
but this is hardly probable. When
capital is seeking Investment in and
5 per cent railroad bonds and like
securities, it is not probable that the
taxation of securities that bear 6 per

debts are property, and the holder
thereof receives greater benefits from

the owner of any other class of prop

the states, s,county's or city's credit, 'he

warrants being property should not
escape.

A HARD BLOW TO SHEEP.

The secretary of the interior has
Cancelled permits to 100000 head OF
sheep that have been ranging on the
Rainier timber reserve in Washing
ton, and signifies his intention to close
the Cascade reserve from the Cali
fornia line to the Columbia river.
Such an order would deal serious
blow to the sheep industry of Eastern
Oregon. and would drive many flock
masters out of business, consequently
causing most serious loss to the
industrial interests to this part of the
state.
It is no doubt necessary that the re
serve from White river north to the
Colum ba he closed to protect the
water supply in the farming sections
along the east side of the Cascade
range, but to exclude sheep from that
portion of reserve south of White
river appears to be unnecessary The
timber growth in that section ls OF
such nature that sheep grazing ap-
pears not TO affect it materially, and
as there is no farming country in that
vicinity which can suffer because of
the water supply being lessened, there
is no apparent necessity for keeping
sheep out of that portion of the reserve.
It should remain open as at present
fo- the benefit and use of woolgrowers.
So long as sheep grazing in that part
of the reserve do no damage to the
tim ber, and cause no injury to neces
sary water supply, the department.
would do a serious injustice by abso.
lutely closing the reserve.

THE QUESTION OF MEAT.

The retail butchers of New York
have entered into combination against
the Chicago beef men and propose to
fight them to the finish on their own
ground. The Retail Butchers Pro-
tective Association of New York is
heading the fight which will be extend
ed to every large city, says the Spokes.
man Review. 1t is announced that the
project to organize independent and
cooperative concerns has been reciev-
ed with the greatest enthusiasm.
Subscriptions from butchers for
s700, 900 have already been received, in
shares of 800 each. The butchers offer
to take from ten to twenty shares each,
and several capitalists have offered TO
subscribe. Plans for new slaughtering
plants are being perfected. The BUTCH
ers will in crease the subscription to
S1,50O.0O0 before organizing their
company. The butchers say that by
January l, 1900, they will slaughter
their own cattle for New York, and that
within year there will be a co.operat-
i've plant in every important city in the
United States, With great packing
houses in Kansas City and Omaha.
The butchers expect a long, bitter
fight with the beef kings, like Armo ur
and Swift. After they have started
the beef trust will open butcher shops
on every street, ard will cut prices
and endeavor to out the butchers in
cattle in the hope of retrieving their
losses by raising prices later. The
plants are to be built regardless of
prices, and the butchers will rely
upon the public to help them when the |
war of prices begins. When the butch
ers' plants are fully matured they
will have between 100000 and !
$20, 900, 900 to fight the trust,

RISE OF UMENES.

1t is given to few ambitious men to
meet the measure of success which is
the portion of General Jimenes, who
ia to be president of the republic of
Santo Domingo. Ordinarily the head
of revolutionary movements in the
West Indies and Central America
takes the field against the government
and participates in few skirmishes.
Jimenes rested in hotels far removed
from tbs scene of battle, was kept adj
vised of the progress of his friends and
barring few delays in American lock-
ups. had little worry or uneasiness as
to the outcome.
The revolutionists have maintained
from the first that Santo Domingo
yearned for Jimenes and an admins
tration fashioned according to his
views. The resignation of the execu
tive who succeeded the assassinated
president gives color to these aseer-
tions, and the bloodless capitulation
of the capital strengthens Jimeues'
position. His popular victories make
the circumstances of his detention in
Cuoa more unfortunate. Jimines will
bear ill-will towards all things Ameri-
can and will divert trade to foreign
They will be quick to
seize this advantage. 1t will give
them a foothold where their advan
tages were we'll nigh destroyed. While
the trade with Santo Domingo is not
large, 1t is enough to make depot for
wares from Havre and Liverpool, and

FOREIGNERS DON'T PAY 1T.

Protectionist orators and protec
tionists journals have for years labored
to convince the public that protec-
tive duty was blessing to the people
of America because the "fOreign ex-
porters paid the duty" and were thus
made to help bear the burdens of
sustaining this government. Their
argument was that the foreign ex-
porter must pay the duty upon bis
products before he could get them
through our ports of entry and upon
our markets., therefore he, not the
American consumer, was the party
taxed. 1t has all along been contend.
ed by the -protectionists that it was
not true, and now comes the Oregonian,
a staunch republican paper, and dis
proves, by illustration, the fallacy of
the protectionists' argument. 1t says:
"A Willamette valley correspondent

EDITORIAL NOTES.

General Otis has offered to the in
haoitants so called home government
which is little short of a despotism, as
all authority is vested in the military
governor Whether it will be &C.
cepted remains to be seen, but If it is
it will aid in bringing the Tagals into
subjugation.
Brigadier-General Hale is confident
that the American forces in the Philip
pines will whip Aguinaldo, but he will
not venture prediction in regard to
the time it will take. The American
people will probably see another
presidential election decided before
the end of the war is reached.
War between England and the
Transvaal republic seems inevitable,
the republic having refused to grant
the demands of the British govern
ment, and now we will see what the
greatest buffer in the world will do.
Certainly it will find the hardest fight
it has had in half century when it
undertakes to discipline the Boers.
The Pacific Democrat, published at
Portland by Thomas and Milton Har-
Ian, made its appearance on the 9th.
1t starts out advocating direct legis-
lation, anti imperialism, government
ownership o. railroads, telegraphs,
mines, etc., free coinage of gold and
silver, and graduated income tax.
From careful perusal of the paper,
one is rather lead 20 believe that it is
started under a wrong name. IL should
have been the "Pacific Populist."
However it may improve with age.
Italy is protecting herself system
atically against hailstorms by firing
cannons. Several hundred villages on
the slopes of the Alps and OF the Ap.
ennines have established firing sta
tions, where two or three cannons are
kept which are fired at a signal from
the weather observer. The results are
said to be astonishing. In none of
these villages did hail fall this summer, !
while neighboring districts have suf
tered from the usual numb Der of storms.
