GERMANYS POLICY
 IN CHINA DEFINED
Count Won Buelow, the Imperial Chancellor, Defends Country'S
 Position in a Speech

cumStances, and, then, in such a way that peace was affected neither directly or indi- rectly. Our presence at Kiao Chou Is based on a treaty with China, in accord with international law. We have always shown a friendly and benevolent disposi- tion towards China and demonstrated this especially in 1895 when China was at the mercy of the victorious Japanese. We have no desire to interfere with the inter ests of the other powers in China. We wish to protect our rights to the fullest degree. Our position there Is one of legitimate defense. The miserable Chi nese administration permitted the Boxer movement to gain ground, observed to- wards the ministers an attitude of equivo- cation and inaction, violated the rights of nations and the dignity of the German people by allowing the outrageous murder of Won Ketteler and permitting subter- fuges and palpable falsehoods.
 ''In the face of such an attitude we had to take, the necessary measures for the protection of our rights and the defense of our honor. The other powers were in the same position and all the civilized people alike were compelled to act in self defense. A dispassionate observer cannot doubt that the recent movement is traed neither to Kiao Chou, Hong Kong, Yon- quin or Port Arthur It Is directed against European civilization with which Japan has thrown her lot. What the Germans desire Is not a political adventure, but the assertion or our interests, our rlgntS and our honor as a great people. We are waging no war of conquest on China. We especially desire atonement, since other wise such things might occur again. We desire the influence accruing to Germany in the present movement shall be pre- served to her. We desire our share in what is to be won from China. We will not over-reach any one and we will not let any one over-reach us. We have noth- ing to gain by partition of China and do not desire it. We shall fare best if China recovers herself so far as possible, under the best ordered administration obtainable and remain so. We wish to confine our selves to present position and will not shake China unnecessarily. We have no reason for going beyond the convention of August 3, 1898, or to strive for territo- rial acquisitions which will present dis proportionate strain upon our resources.
 Neither have we interest in mailing our

BIT OF PERSUASION.
Will be Used on the "Sick Man" of
 Turkey.

Washington, November 19.-The first-clas ss can waters, has been ordered to touch at Smyrna, Turkey, on her way to the Philip pines. The Kentucky has been in Mediter- ranean waters for some time past, and has made stop at Algerian ports and is now at7 Naples, Italy. She Is going to Manila mand of Captain Colby Chester.
 The Kentuckys presence in Turkish wa ters will be coincident with renewed efforts on the part of administration officials to collect from the Turkish government pay ment of the indemnity claimed by the United States for the destruction of mis- sionary property in that country some years ago. These claims have been pend. ing for a long time. The payment of the indemnity was urged in turn by Ministers Angell and Straus, and MT. Griscom, the American charge now at Constantinople, has been persistent in his demands for a settlement, but thus far apparently with- out any definite assurance that the claims will be paid. The claims approximate 'n amount s1O0,000. Symrna lies at the head of the gulf of that name, has large pop ulation and for centuries has been the most important center of trade in the Levant. The city lies out of the line of travel to tho Suez canal Naval officials are9proud of the splendid batte-ship Kentucky. which only recently has been launched. Much ad- miration has been expressed for her ap- pearance at the places she has stopped, and the detour to Smyrna Is said in official quarters to be for the purpose of showing her off.

SUPREME COURT
Of the United States Renders an lm-
 portant Decision.


 Washington, November 19.-The United opinion in the case of William B. Austin vs. the State of Tennessee, involving the validity of the State law regulating the sale of cigarettes. The law was attacked as an infringement of the right of Congress to regulate interstate commerce.
 The Tennessee Supreme Court upheld the law, and todays decision sustained that verdict, though not without disapproval of some of the positions taken, and then upon very narrow margin, four out of nine members joining in a dissenting opinion, and another member of the court (Justice White) placing his assent upon grounds diff ferent from those announced by Justice Brown, who handed dover the opinion.
 The case grew out of the importation ot cigarettes into Tennessee from North Car olna. They were taken into the State in ordinary sized cigarette packages, about two by four inches, and these packages were loosely thrown into baskets which were uncovered. The claim was made that these cigarette packages were what is known to the law as original packages. The court held that it was clear that such pack ages could not be so considered. Justice Brown, in passing upon the case, said that the packages were obviously made up with the view of evading the law, and as he spoke he held one of the little cigarette cases up to the view of his auditors. On this point the decision of the State court, to the effect that the packages were not original, was fully confirmed
 Justice Brown holds that cigarettes are as much a subject of State regulation as is liquor, and he further holds that while no State law could prohibit importation in original packages, it wes entirely compe- tent for Legisatufe to regulate the sale because of general belief in the grade of the article. There was a dissenting opinion by Justice Shiras, in which the Chief Justice and Justices Brewer and Peckham joined They pased their dissent upon the theory that Congress has exclusive control of interstate commerce.

TO succeed Mcbride. As II is Republi.
can II should elect fiat footed sound

is honest let II quit straddling.
A Republican paper says:
For a quarter OF a century there has
been an unruly faction OF the Republi.
can party In this state, known M the
Mitchell faction, whose sole aim has
been 10 hold,Mr, Mi hell in a large
office that he might distribute small
offices TO the ever-hunsery members OF
that faction. Republican principles

and Popllists and embrace aud further
their pernicioue doctrines at any time q

plank plated with silver or a silver plank
plated with gold Is all the same to them
30 long as i serves the purpose TO keep
them In office.
This Mitchell silyer. plated faction
nearly defeated Mckinley in Oregon In
1896, defeated senator Do phi and elected
gold'plated Mcbride by the aid OF
democrats and populists. The faction
then b b,came the gOld-and. silver. plated

AID OF democrats and populists (as ever

recent June election and succeeded in
electing hybrid ticket in Multnomah

Mcbride might bo elected 10 the United
States senate in 1901 and Mitchell IN

"Thus II will be seen that this faction

POOR WHEAT CROPS.
Result Of imfoverishlne the Land Says the Cor
wallis Times

The farmers OF the Willamette valley
stand face to face with what is p7cftt-
ally failure OF the grain crops, " GIs
the yields reported would not in many
other states be deemed crop failure,
yet in Oregon failure is the only thing
to call yields so small. 1t is practically
the first in the history Of the Willamette
Valley, and because it is so general, there
is universal search for some new strange
pest to be blamed for widespread damage.
OF cource, pests may have assisted, but
IL has not been bugs, or worms or weather
that has done all the mischief. Under
lying such damage as these may have
wrought, there is far greater cause for
the shortened crops. For fory years
Willamette Valley farms have been crop.
ped in wheat. Every bushel grown has
taken away from the soil a portion Of the
original nutriment. 1t has been demon
strated that when farmer hauls to mar
ket at present prices a load OF wheat that
brings him $l5, he hauls away also in
his load $3.50 worth of this wheat nutri-
ment. Drained and drained of its
strength for years and years, the fields
have reached thatage Of Impeachment.
where the old-time yield Of grain can no
longer q expected. Thus affected in
year OF unfavorabe climates like the
present has been, the weakness OF the
soil betrays itselt, and there is our first
general failure.
This is our chief pest Its cure is
rotation Of crops and keeping, as far
as possible, Of the soil products on the
farm by larger attention to stock and
otherwise. Iowa's redemption from
poverty to thrifty by the latter process
stands as an incontrovertible proof of
wherein lies the Oregon farmers oppor-
tunit
