SWEARS ALLEGIANCE
SubmitStO United States and
Vows Friendship.
AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY
Tells Officer Kismet Is Against His Rule
and Ask Assurances of Peace
and Good Will.

Mail advices to the War Department
relate the details OF the impressive
ceremonies attending the submission OF
the Sultan of Marantao to the United
States. 1t occurred at the headquarters
OF Major Robert L. BuIlard. Twenty
eighth Infantry, at Pantar. Mindanao.
First a courier came breathless to
announce that the Moro chief was ap-
preaching for the purpose of swearing
allegiance. Then, with a din of sound
ing gongs, the procession drew near
The barbarians were dressed in a man

sashes. variegated turbans and flashing

Billiards. headquarters. the armed guard
dismounted, remaining in formation
while the Sultan and his immediate
court advanced on foot
The Sultan's Speech.
Major Billiard came forward with out
stretched hand, greeting the Moro in the
latter's own tongue, while the barbarian
regarded him in silence After this mo-
mentary pause. the Sultan said before he
shook hands in peace with Americans
there were certain forms TO observe. He
had come to submit himself and his peo
pie to American rule. a duty difficult T.
perform, but one which he had long con
sidered. He was growing old and. al
though in the past he had kept the
stranger. the Spaniard as we'll as tbe
American, from his country he was now
for peace and not for war. Kismet was
against him. The Americans and the
Moros had come together in battle. and
always the Americans were the victors
He had heard that the white chief was
MAI Of peace as well as of war, and
that he desired the friendship of all the
MoTos.
Am l mistaken in these matters?'
he asked Major Billiard, looking him
searehingly in the eye.
He Swears by Allah.
The latter treasured him, pointing out
that the employment of hundreds of his
people on the new road to Lake Lanao
was guarantee of American good
toward the Moros.
The Sultan bowed his head for a mo-
ment. extended his hand to the officer.
and turning his face to heaven exclaim-
ed: Il swear in the name of Allah and
Mahomet that do now and here submit
TO the United States and declare my
friendship"
In the course of the two hours of con-
ference which followed the Sultan was

American officers and soldiers join with
him in singing friendship" and this
was done Then three cheers for "Old
Glory were given, explanation being

1t is reliably reported that Charles
Sweeny is negotiating to buy the Sill
yer King and the DAILY West lead
mines in Utah for the Federal Mining
company. FOR this purpose and the
acquiring of other properties the cap
ital of the Federal company will be
increased to $50,00G,000.
This move will put the Federal com.
pany in position to control the lead
market, as it will have 10 per cent of
the lead output Of the United States
Negotiations have progressed to such
point that w. Clayton Miller was
sent to examine the Utah properties
and Charles Hussey, from Finch 6
Campbells Office, accompanied him to
go over the books of these companies
to verify the statements as to the bus
mess heretofore done. The Silver
King is the biggest lead mine in the
United States, having paid last yeaI
81, 100000 in dividends. The preferred
stock of the Federal company is mar
ketable in New York at 500, this price
carrying a share of common stock
with each share of preferred.

OF the counties Of eastern Oregon
Umatillais far ahead in the quantity of
wheat produced this year. From UNA
tilla, Union, Baker and Morrow coun-
ties the total output Of wheat this
year was 3,S50,00O bushels, 2,500.000
bushels being raised In Umatilla coun-
ty. The production Of Wallowa and
Grant counties is as yet small. Those
counties are far from being settled,
and their principal industry is cattle
and sheep raising.
As the result Of fire which visited

Mr.. Newell Says II 10 Largest Project
In tho World.

Washington. D. C.-There was .
joint meeting Of the senate and house
irrigation committees recently. The
arrangement was for the purpose Of
giving Mr.. Newell. chief Of the recla-
nation service. an opportunity to pre-
sent his views regarding irrigation
work and Investigations in various
states. In Washington an investiga-
tion is being made Of the Big Bend
project. which, Mr.. Newell said. is the
largest irrigation project in the world.
According to his statement, 1t would
irrigate between 1000, 900 and 2.000.Ov0
acres o. land. and SO far as the inves-
legations have gone the cost would be
staggering and could only be compared
with the Panama canal In magnitude.
But the land reclaimed would be we'll
worth the cost of reclamation. He
said 1t would be several years before
the department could fully determine
whether the project was feasible or
not.

ARE ON THE VERGE Of WAR
JAPAN AND RUSSIA ARE MAKING
PREPARATIONS.
Fears are Expressed That Russia Has
Gone Too Far for a Peaceful Settle
ment--Has Assumed Defiant Atti.
tude-London Worried-crlsis Soon
to Come In Japan.

London, Dec. 22.-Reuters Tels-
gram company has learned that much
anxiety is felt regarding the possk
BILE outcome Of the situation in the far
east Fears are expressed that Rus
sia may have overstepped the bounds
which would make peaceable negotia-
tions with Japan possible.
Apart from the delicate state Of the
negotiations between the two nations,
Reuters says 1t Is also known that
Russia is assuming more defiant at
titude and the outlook may be regard
ed as more gloomy than 1t hitherto has
been, although it can not be said that
the resources Of diplomacy have been
completely exhausted.
The statement concludes by saying
that there is as yet no actual news of
fresh developments and that no ulti-
matum tas been sent by Japan to Rus
sia.
Pekln Feels the Crisis.
Pekin. Dec. lz.-While NO news has
been received At the Japanese lega-
ton tina. Japan has sent an ultimatum
to Russia. it is recognised at the lega-
tion tina. a grave crisis is approaching.
Major General Yamani, the Japanese
military attache, and the Japanese col.
onel who has been instructing General
Yuan Shat Kais troops. have both
started for Japan.
The native press recently reiterated
a circumstantial story to the eject
that in the event of Manchuria being
retained by Russia It was the intenr
ton Of Great Britain to establish .
protectorate over the Yangtse valley
as compensation and to appoint . vice
roy therein, SO that her prestige h
the far east would be equal to Russia's.
Some native papers give Wal Wal Hu
of the Chinese foreign board as author
ity for the story. The fiction IL largely
credited and gravely discussed and \
creating hostility against Great Brit
ain. 1t is suspected that the story has
been fostered by unfriendly agencies
appointed for the purpose and the Brit
ish legation is investigating its origin.
No ultimatum a. Yet.
Pekin, Dec. 22.-while the knowi
edge of the legations on the situation
leads to the belief that the sending Of
an ultimatum is improbable. the pros
poets Of war are evidently increasing.
The British legation some days ago
received q telegram indicating that
war was possible, and the Japanese
legation is informed that Russia's re-
cent reply to the Japanese proposals
was unsatisfactory.

Colin Mcintosh, former Spokane
mining and civil engineer, has been
offered $1,000 annual salary to take
charge of the properties of London
company in South Africa. Mr.. Mcln'
tosh has accepted the offer.
The reason for the degradation OF
Chang vi, director of the Northern
railway, and the taking from him OF
all his honors, as cabled, is that In
1900 he sold the valuable mines at
Kaiping. Chang vi has been given
two months grace, during which he
is expected to again bring the mines
under Chinese control. Should he fail
to do this further punishment awaits
him.
A force of AZ men is employed at
the Providence mine. in Providence
camp, by Manager Mcintosh. 1t is
shipping two cars of ore per month,
and most of the ore will go to the
Greenwood smelter. Sinking in the
incline shaft, now down 1873 feet, will
start shortly after the new year.
The most important mining deal in
Northport vicinity during 1903 is now
taking place. Lewis P. Larson of Spo-
kane has taken a bond on the Last
Chance mine, located seven miles east
on Deep Creek and owned by the Last
Chance Mining & Reduction company.
The purchase price is considerably in
excess of the $4,000 mark.
Work for the winter has been sus-
pended at the Bodie mill and mine, a
Toroda creek property. near Republic.
Occur d'Alene mine owners say that
every mine in the district shipping Its
product to Helena or Pueblo, Col.
smelters, will profit by the railroad
freight change which allows ores uI
to $50 in value to be carried at the So
rate. 1t is claimed that with the pos
sible exception of the Hercules, nc
mine in the district has fiat freight
and treatment rate with the smelters
and as a result any reduction in freight
rates adds to the profits Of the owners
of the mines. and does not 60 to the
smelters.
