INTENSE AMOUNT OF CIR AIN
More stored In Grand Trunk Elevator
Now Than Ever before.

There IL more grain IN tho elevator at
the Grand Trunk today than has ever
been stored there at any one time before.
IL has been coming In the last week at
the rate OF several hundred cars day
and It was stated yesterday that In the
elevator there was more than og8, OOC
bushels, over a thousnd bushels more
than the elevator has ever held before.
The grain has arrived In such way that
the operators have becn given plenty Of
time to store IT away and this is the rea
SON 30 much more has been cared for
than is usually the case. Besides all OF
this grain in the elevator there were COO
cars loaded with grain waiting In the
Grand Trunk yard and more on tn cir
regular winter service will reach Port
land on November 14th and from that
time on there win be almost n ship In
and out OF this port every day, the most
OF them carrying big grain cargoes.
One OF the Grand Trunk officials said
yesterday that 1t would be absolutely
necessary before very long to put up an .
other elevator here as the present elsva.
tor, although very large, is not big
enough to care for all the business that

ture.
When one stops to think that there IL
enough grain stored away in that big
building at the foot of India street 70
give each man, woman and child in the
city almost 20 bushels each. enough to
feed the entire city for long tina with
some to spare sndz that this big elevator
is filled and refilied scores Of times dur
ing the winter season, some idea can be
had of the immense business which is
going on at the Grand Trunk terminal.

DRINKING Split NOW.

Portland Is SO dry now that the pocket
peddier has begun to thrive again and
the liquid which Is generally sold Is
split The police are having great
many more drunks and they give them
more trouble since the saloons were all
closed than they have had in years.
Hardly a morning passes that dozen or
more half pint bottles which once con-
tanned "split" cannot be picked up along
the aileyways on Commercial street.
Last Sunday man was taken into the
police station dead to the world and
from his pocket was taken half emptied
bottle Of split" He did not recover
consciousness until Monday morning 1T
O'Clock and was then worse than a
crazy man and shouted and yelled for
several hours
The men arrested full OF this cheap
alcohol and water fight like mad men
and are always crazy drunk. AS the
prohibition law is more rigidly enforced
the number OF crazy drunks increases, SC
the police say, and there are more fights
and rows on the strest than when the
saloons are always running full blast.

THE MOST POPULAR SIN,
Rev. Lstber Frsemsn's Address on the
Use OF Profsne Language.

nev. Luther Freeman's Sunday eve
ming sermons at the Chestnut street
church are always largely attended, but
he addressed more people last night on
the "Most popular sin OF the men Of
Portland" than he has spoken TO at an
evening service for some time. His ad-
dress was on the prevalence Of the use OF
profane language which he characterized
as an American sin. No other people use
as much profanity as do the Americans
and while the men OF Portland are not
more profane than the men Of other parts
OF this country one hears much profani-
ty on the street at all times and from
all classes. Mr.. Freeman spoke OF the
fooiishness OF this habit which does not
help anyone or in any way change any
thing which have caused Its use. II a
man gets drunk he has the satisfaction
at least Of drinking the liquor. III he
steals he enjoys the fruits Of his theft,
but II he swears he gains nothing. The
influence OF profanity on the young man
is bad and nothing is WORSE for boy 10
hear than an oath In illustration of the
prevalence Of this habit and its evils, Mr..
Freeman told several stories. His ser.
mon was very powerful one and deep
ly impressed hi hearers.

Cardinal Gibbons breaches . Sermon
ON Election.

Baltimore, November 4.-Cardinal Glib
bons took occasion at high mass today,
to say few words ON the subject OF the
coming election In bis regular monthly
sermon to his congregation at the Ca
thedral. The Cardinal never takes any
active part 10 politics, rarely, If ever cast

nate enough to be in his confidence he
does not hesitate to express himself free
ly upon the issues involved In the pres
ent contest. He takes the position that
there need be no alarm upon the part Of
any one over the result OF the coming
elections and asserts that there is moth
ing In the situation to warrant the belief
that the election of either candidate
will In any wise seriously affect the
future welfare and prosperity of the

A LETTER FROM MANILA.

The following extract is from private
letter written by an American citizen
who has spent the last year in Manila:
"The very best articles 1 have seen or
read on these islands are in the Outlook
by Whitmarsh. In the number of June
16, he gives fine description of their
character. l believe ninety or even
ninety five per cent of the natives are
for peace at any price, and would accept
our domination cheerfully, and because
of their marked characteristics of imita-
tion and adaptation would progress rap
idly to higher civilization. But the
other faction are az itators, preach pa
triotism, denounce foreigners, and
threaten the luke warm. They are so
timid, and conditions are so uncertain,
and they fear treachery so much in
each other that none dare be openly 10y
al to us. And, naturally, all sympa.
thize with their own people and the ma
tive cause. We are law abiding peo-
pie, and require little or no government
at home so our scheme of government
is more or less loose-at least not rigor.

eastern mind-for see it in the Chin
ese (Bret Hart shows it in his "Ah Sin')
as we'll as in the Malay-is more acute
and cunning than that of the European
or Anglo Saxon. They can live on what
we waste, they can get rich on what we
think of too little value to bother about.
They see thousand opportunities for
gain, honestly or dishonesty, that we
pass by, ignore, or reject; and because
we are good .natured, easy going and
careless they think we are big, stupid,

cease to be powerless that she may
learn the art Of military organization
which some have been so anxious to
teach her. and that she may develop re.
sources of offense as well as for de-
fense.''
1.-The above considerations have vi
tai relation to the question of withdraw
al from Peking. The presence of for
eign troops on Chinese soil is objection
able from the Russian standpoint above
indicated, though she fully recognized
it's necessity while the legations were in
peril. Anything which tends toward a
removal of the capital from Peking is
also strongly opposed to her interests
and the continuance of it's occupation
by foreign troops would certainly have
such tendency, in view of the unwil
lingness of the imperial government to
return there while such occupation
lasts. Peking is the most favorable
possible residence for the Chinese court,
with view to the predominance of
Russian influence and it is not to be
wondered at that she proposes to give
the Empress every facility to return
there. Russia will doubtless be able to
prevent the removal of the capital, if
central government is to continue in
China, to any point more convenient to
the interests of her rivals and less ad.
vantageous to herself. Tientsin, the
port of Peking, is right across the gulf
from Russia's great naval stronghold
and base at Port Arthur and the capi.
tai itself is connected by railroads al
ready built with Mukden in Manchuria,
whence railroad construction before the
present outbreak was being rapidly
pushed northward to join with the
trans Siberian line. Within compare.
lively short time there will be all.rail
connection between st. Petersburg and
Peking. A part of this line, to be sure,
is at present more or less under British
control but this difficulty will be OBJ
waited in some way, and Russia had al
ready applied Tor an independent con-
cession. Indeed, one of her plans, by
= no means unlikely to be carried out
later, is a direct line from Irkutsk to
Peking, reducing by almost one.half
the distance by the route through Man.

Conveniently Situated.
"It must be remembered, too, that so
far as spheres of influence have been
defined, the Russian sphere is better
ter situated for the domination of Pekin
than any other. Great Britain has for.
mally recognized that the whole of
Mongolia and Manchuria come within
the sphere of Russia so far as the build
ing of railroads is concerned, and no

RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STATES IN
CHINA.

ident Cleveland and later mayor OF BOs
ton, contributes an article TO the Octo-
ber number of the North American Re-
view, in which he argues that Russia
should be recognized by the United
States as the dominant factor in the
settlement of the difficulties in the
orient. Among the reasons advanced
by Mr.. Quincy are the following:
"That the interests of Russia in China
and her relations to the Celestial empire
are entirely different from those of any
other power that her position is already
stronger than that of any of her rivals
in the far east, and may soon become
impregnable, and that if she can avoid
war she may be almost be said to hold
the future of China in the hollow of her
hand-though the process of asserting
her full control is likely to be long and
gradual one. In short, Russia holds the
winning cards in her hand and knows
how to play them"
"China cannot strike other nations ex.
coasts, or within her borders she can
strike Russia within the empire of the
Gear, and it is at least conceivable and
possible, even if quite unlikely, that she
might some day organize out of her
teeming population, armies which would
repeat the Tartar invasion. Russia has
not yet forgotten that these fierce Asia
tics ruled her people for over two CEN
turies, and the overthrow of their domi.
nation is of as recent date as the discov.
cry of America
This aids to explain the feeling of
Russia toward Japan:
Russians believe that, if Japan were
once allowed to organize and arm the
Chinese, their own great Asiatic empire
would be in imminent peril, if not their
Europe territory as we'll and it must be
admitted that their fears seem to be
well founded. A cardinal point in Rus.
sian policy is, therefore, to keep Japan
out of China at all haz ards, and out of
Korea, if possible; hence her alarm at
the cession of the Liaotung Peninsula to
Japan after the war, and her coercion of
that power, in combination with France
and Germany, to give up this i'm.
portant part of the fruits of her vic.
tory.
Russian Self-interest.
"Kussia is forced by her situation to
consider more seriously than any other
power the immense possibilities of dan.
ger involved in crowding too hard ma.
tion of some 1000, 900 of people, con-
stituting the most ancient empire in ex-
istence, and united by spirit of opposi-
tion to foreigners. No other great ma.
ton would have submitted for mo.

heaped on China by other powers, or to
