During this brief interview Marjorie
had stood pale, her hand on her bosom
to still the violent beating Of her heart.
When Tarbel announced bis intention
she drew a few convulsiYe breaths,
preparing for a desperate move then
said:
Major Tarbel, If you hold Lienten-

Washington, Dec. 16-The Interior
Department recognizes that more liberal
appropriations are necessary for the i'm
provement of the Crater Lake National
Park than have been made in the past
The last sundry civil bill appropriated
only $4,000 for this work and out of this
an allowance poes to the salary of the
superintendent. With such meagre
appropriation little progress can be
made in the direction of constructing
roads. and making other improvements
which will facilitate the access to Crater
Lake and other points of scenic interest
scattered all through the park. This
year, the secretary of the treasury hopes
to have at least $4,000 made available SO
that the Improvements can be made
during the summer of 1904.
Mount Rainier National Park in
Washing on is so far without supern-
tendent, and beyond a road survey
made last summer, little has been done
looking to is improvement. Tie secre-
tary now asks for $4,000 to be expended
in the management and improvement of
this park end on the il proyement of
roads. The Washington delegation will
ask for larger amount, although there
is some doubt if they will succeed in
getting it.

Says Britain VIII Lose 1t.

New York, Dec. l6.-At meeting
here today of the Armstrong Association
Andrew Carnegie surprised his hearers
by asserting he believed Great Britain
would surely some day lose South
Africa. He said:
1T is about as certain as we are living
that Great Britain will lose South Africa
because the Dutch population there is
increasing, while the British are not.
The Kaffirs won't work. What would
Great Britain give for 5000, 900 negroes.
as peaceable and as loving as those in
this country. These men give us about
II 100000 bales of cotton every year
and this, contend, helps make the
Uuited States the most powerful nation
in the world. Suppose fleet of British
warships would attack US. The presi-
dent need only raise his hand and say
stop exporting cotton, and the war
would be won. What happy country
this is to have the negro.
my knowledge of the question leads
me to the opinion that no political
measure can ever save or benefit the
negro. The Hampton Institute shows
the oUly useful solution

Giyen Half Il Cent Damages.

Birmingham, Eng, Dec. l6.-Maria
Corelli, the novelist, was to lay awarded
half cent damages, each side to pay its
own costs, in libel suit brought by her
against the proprietor of the Stratford'
on.Avon Herald in connection with the
recent controversy in which Miss Corelli
opposed the erection OF u Carnegie
library, on the ground that it involved a
desecratlon of Shakespeare birthplace.
The alleged libel consisted in a state
ment that Miss Corelli desired to erect a
library at the same place
The case attracted much attention,
and the court WAS crowded, many
fashionable people being present. Mil q
Coreli testified in her own behalf for
two hours, and emphatically denied she
wanted to erect library.

Chamberlain will Enlist Services
Of a Com ittee.

AAAA " Ill scr ICES
Of a Committee.
Leeds, Dec. 16-Joseph Cham berlain
addressed two immense audiences here
tonight, making the last speeches of his
fiscal campaign for the present year.
From the moment of Mr.. Chamberlain 3
arrival in Leeds, the enthusiasm was
tremendous and many demonstrations
were made in the streets.
The first speech was made in the Coli
| scum and was listened to by 5000 per-
sons and similar number attended the
overflow meeting held afterward in the
town hall, which was altogether made
quate to accommodate the great crowd
seeking admission.
The feature of Mr.. Chamberlain s
speech at the Coliseum was his ar
nouncemenu of the fact that he has been
engaged in getting together a committee
to make inquiries among the various
branches of trade at home and abroad,
the work of which committee, he ex-
pected, he said, will result in clearing
away many difficulties. The committee
will consist OF about 30 business men of
the highest standing, who will begin
their work in the near future.
1t will be composed of men from all
centers of industry, both in the United
Kingdom and in the colonies. Subcom
mittees will be formed to deal with each
branch of trade and to take exhaustive
evidence, meeting twice weekly until
their work is finished. When the re
ports are completed, Mr.. Chamberlain
said, he expected to be in a position to
formulate tariff bill acceptable to the
country, which Will not only foster i'm
perial trade, but which will enable
Great Britain to give trade advantages
to those who are prepared to render her
similar favors.
The rest of Mr.. Cbamberlain's speech
was largely repetition of his former
arguments. He said the country was
now at the parting OF the ways, and
posterty would never forgive the gov
ernment if it lost the slightest chance of
securing what was actually needed by
the nation.
Referring to the alleged difficulty of
convincing the colonies, Mr.. Chamber
lain said:
"Send me an Ambassador to the colo
nies with full powers. am perfectly
W Hing to risk my reputation on being
able not merely to satisfy the colonies,
but also to secure from them equal
measures in return"

Government Must Have Clear Title
For Cello Canal.
Salem, Or, Dec l7-Governor Cham
berIain today received from Major w.
G. Langftt, OF the United States Engin.
eer Corps at Portland a communication
informing him that the board of engin-
eers authorized by the river aud harbor
act approved June IS, 1908, and con-
stltuted by paragraph P. S. O. No. 80,
1902, headquarters Corps of Engineers,
submitted its report of modification Of
the project for improving the Columbia
river between the foot of the dalles
rapids and the head of Cello falls.
1t is further stated that the board has
recommended that no work shall be be-
gun until right of way and release
from damages have been conveyed to
the United States free of cost. This
recommendation was concurred in by
the Chief of Engineers, and the Acting
Secretary of War, under date of Novem.
ber 6, 1908, approved the report subject
to the condition that no work should be
begun until the right of way and release
from damages have been conveyed to
the United States free of cost.
Major Langftt's letter concludes by
saying that nothing is said as to who
should secure the right of way, but that
he presumes this will devolve upon the
state, and if any officials are authorized
to take the matter in hand, he will be
pleased to CO operate with them as far as
possible. In reply to this letter Coy
ernor Chamberlain says in part:
"The legislature at its last session
passed an act providing for the creation
of a Board of Portage Commissioners
and providing for the requirement of
right of way and the construction of
portage railroad around the point re-
ferred to IN your letter, and made an ap-
preparation for that specific purpose.
and, much as feel interested in seeing
the United States take charge of this
important work, | have no power TO do
anything in the premises, nor has the
board referred to authority under the
act creating them to appropriate any
money for any other purpose than that
specifically mentioned in the act.
II regret this exceedingly, but until
further legislation we are compelled to
proceed in the matter of acquiring a
right of way and constructing portage
railroad In the very nature of things
this can only be temporary expedent,
whilst a government canal would be
permanent and would do more than it is
possible for the state to do to relieve
conditions in Eastern Oregon and Wash
ington, and | sincerely hope that the
general government may vet, through
It's proper authorities, see its way TO
take the initiative both in the matter Of
securing title to right of way and in
the work of construction of canal"
