purpose Of placing them in homes at
Clifton and Morenci are on their way
with twenty-one Of the unfortunate
little ones. Swayne and the sisters
had z thrilling experience with a mob
OF armed men at Clifton. They also
had an exciting experience at MorencL
The trouble was due to the fact that
The children were placed in the homes
Il Mexicans. Swayne describes his ex-
perience in an interview to-day as fol-
lows:
AT Clifton the mob threatened TO
lynch me and I did not expect to get
out alive. The babies brought back
ere in bad way from The excitement
and travelling and the nurses are al
most prostrated- As for myself, I am
mad from head to foot. 1t is a dis
grace TO America l saw no peace
officers there, nothing but mob law.
Everything went well until we reached
these places in Arizona. I was in ig-
nlrance Of anything pertaining TO the
homes provided for the babies, rely
ing upon the judgment Of the priest
who is in charge Of the parish. 1t de-
veloped that he was only newly ar
rived in this country, having come
over from France eleven months ago.
We had the babies left at the homes
selected, which took three days between
the two towns, and were preparing to
leave. when both places were up in
arms over the matter. At Morenci. al
though we had some trouble. we man
aged 10 convince the people who were

bies again. placing them at the hotel
At Clifton, which is a regular mining
camp. fully 2 thousand men armed
with revolvers and guns gathered at
the public library and held an indig-
nation meeting. They afterward en-
tered the rooms Of the nurses and in
suited the women, who have always
been foremost in caring for the coun-
try's sick and afflicted. They threaten
ed 10 lynch me and I was lucky TO es-
cape with my life.
The l.iob there took nineteen chill
dren and placed them with American
people we know nothing about. They
refused to listen to any explanation

Chamberlain Cannot
Expect Help From
NatiOnaliStS.
Must First Change Views
Concerning Irish Self
Government.
His Proposed Determination to Adopt
a Hostile Attitude Calls Forth
a Note of Warning.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

DUBLIN, Oct. 1T has become clear
that if Chamberlain hopes to win the
support Of the Irish party for his ifs
cal campaign he would better hasten
TO conciliate Nationalist opinion with
reference to- home rule. To-day's
Freeman's Journal says: There will
be a good many protectionists in
America this year who Will want to
know why Canadian wheat can come
free into the United Kingdom over
thousands of miles of ocean and yet
cannot cross the border between the
dominion and the republic except at
the price of heavy imposts.
This situation is not one that either
the Republican party in America or
the Chamberlain party in England can
contemplate with enthusiasm. The toll
ing millions of England have reason to
congratulate themselves that they are
still able to get untaxed wheat and
-four from foreign countries. It should
be remarked by Irishmen that Cham
berlain's proposed protection could in
no way benefit the agricultural inter-
ests Of Ireland, as in any event both
wheat and meat would be admitted un-
taxed from Australia and Canada"
Such a note is beginning to be sound
ed throughout the country. 1t is the
Irish Nationalist's reply to Chamber
lain's proposed determination to adopt
the Times attitude Of hostility to Irish
self government in any form.

PORTLAND
GAINS BIG
DVAN1AGE

PORTLAND, Oct. IA direct rail
route for the Northern Pacific from
Portland to the East, a bridge across
the Columbia River at Vancouver
more large docks on the Portland water
front and probably another steamship
line for this city-all of which leaves
Seattle and Tacoma on branch lines Of
road, many miles to the north Of
through transcontinental line-will be
the result of the final settlement of the
Northern Securities merger case.
These are the inevitable results of
the last years manipulation of trans
continental railway interests. For
some time it has been known that the
owners of the Milwaukee road were
determined to tap Oregon and the
North Pacific Coast. The president of
the Milwaukee has been over the
ground and his surveyors have been
in the field.
The best route possessed by any
transcontinental line lay open, running
along the Columbia and Snake rivers
to. the Clearwater. then UP that
stream. through Lolo Pass and east
ward to the nearest present terminus
of the Milwaukee in Nebraska or the
Dakotas.
This would have given the Milwau-
kee road the best and shortest route
in existence from the Pacific seaboard
to the Mississippi River. 1t would have
been hundreds of miles shorter than the
Northern Pacific's route and cut off a
day of the time now required from
Portland to ST. Paul.
With the Milwaukee owners in con-
troll of the Northern Pacific it is pre-
dicted that they will not only proceed
with the Vancouver-Pasco cutoff,
making the main line from Portland
to the East much shorter, but they will
not lose sight of the tremendous ad-

Mexican huts and demanded the babes
In every case the Mexicans were willing
and glad to give them up. Several
Mexicans claimed. however. that they
had paid the agent for the white chill
dren and desired the return of their
money. The claim Of the Mexicans that
money had been paid the agent is cor
roborated by several citizens of Clifton
and Morenci.
AT Morenci the following morning
the agent proceeded to give out the re-
naming babes to the Mexican families.
Agent Swayne was asked to consent to
the adoption of the children by Ameri-
can families who were worthy and able
to care for the little ones as they should
be cared for. This Swayne positively
refused to do, declaring that they must
go to the Mexican families or back to
New York.
Tuesday afternoon the citizens of
Morenci met and decided to give the
children into the possession of the sis
tiers, provided they would take them
direct to New York and not again at
tempt to place them with Mexicans.
This was assented to, and yesterday
the sisters departed with twentyfour
babies"

BELGIANS ARRAIGNED.
Booker Washington Condemns the
Outrages in Africa.

BOSTON. Oct I'm a brief after
dinner speech, delivered before the
Peace Congress tonight, Booker T.
Washington arraigned the Belgian
Government for the outrages in the
Congo Free State, and stated that he
had evidence of abuse and cruelty and
said that state of affairs existed that
was a blot on modern civilization.
"And these atrocities are committed
for the sake of wealth and self ag-
grandizement," said the speaker. "Eu-
rope should set a better example to my
people in Africa / speak for them
yes, as 1 speak for the black of Africa,
so do I speak for the white of Europe,
for no man can abuse another without
necessarily lowering all humanity.
There is another condition, concern
ing which my race should have the
sympathy and help of such an organi-
zaticn as this. There exists in our own
country mobs of men who are given
to lynching and burning men for sup
posed or real crimes without due
process of law. Nothing in the last ten
years has so rejoiced me as the senti-
ment of certain parts of the South
within the last few weeks against this
form of outrage.
Race hatred never settled any
problem upon this earth. The way for
one race to show a greater degree of
superiority over another is by a greater
degree of kindness and Of brotherly
love. No race is free indeed so long as
it is ruled by passion and brute force .

Treaty to Include
All Nations Is
Proposed.
King Leopold Is Scored by
Delegate to the Inter
national Congress.
Held to Be in Large Measure Re-
SpOnSible for the CrueltieS
in the Congo.

BOSTON, Oct. liking Leopold of
Belgium was assailed for his policy as
sovereign of the Congo Free State by
f. T.. Morcll of England at a public
lceeting this afternoon in connection
with the session of the International
Peace Congress. Morell charged that
the King was personally responsible,
in a large measure, for the cruelties
practiced on the natives of the Congo
Free State in the terrific endeavors of
monopolistic commercial organizations
to obtain from the country all the ivory
and rubber possible.
The King was defended by George
Herbert Head Of Cambridge, England,
who submitted that King Leopold had
done all possible to stop the cruelties.
The Government policy in the Congo
was also bitterly denounced by Rev.
William Morrison, for seven years a
missionary in Africa.
The congress to-day accepted a re-
port of the Committee on Propaganda,
recommending that the congress in
1905 be held at Luzerne, Switzerland.
One of the first things which the
congress did to-day was to adopt res
olutions, recommending that all ma
tions enter into a treaty, insuring, in
case of dispute between countries, that
the differences would be submitted for
settlement to a court created by
union Of all the powers.
A dinner was given tonight at which
the foreign delegates were guests.
Speeches were made by Bishop Perci-
val of England, Baroness Won Suttener,
Booker T. Washington and others.

Mrs. Carse returned two days ago

from her injury. She has entirely re-
covered and walks without the slight

himself in his cell in the County Jail

dead this morning by the jailer. He

it about the grating of his cell and

The old days of the army transport
service tangles have their aftermath
in the recent change of officials Of the
ouartermaster's department of Califor-
mia, and in the subsequent develop
ments following two special secret In
vestigations of the service by officials
appointed as a special board OF In
quiry by Secretary Of War TAFT
through Quartermaster General Hum
phrey at Washington, D. c.
The KEYNOTE of the policy Of the
uuartermaster was: II want the truth,
and If necessary / will change every
man in the service who has been at
the head of a department that I may
assure the people fasr administra-
ton of the services that has to do
with the sending out of ships and the
handling of commissary and quarter
masters supplies for the Philippines. +"
Since this declaration of War De-
partment independence there have
been many changes in the depot quar-
termaster's Office in this city and
there are likely to be more before the
administration gets through with the
handling of evidence that Is now in its
possession.
Several months ago the first court
of inquiry was appointed to investigate
the alleged irregularities that are said
TO have occurred through the negli-
gence of heads of departments of the
Pacific Coast. This board was COM
posed of Major Carroll A. Devol, de-
pot quartermaster; Captain Stanley.
now of the Department of California
but at one time the aid to General
Young, and Captain Charles T. Baker,
assistant depot quartermaster.
What is the result of the findings %
queried the quartermaster general
II will have forwarded all testimony
by mail" answered the local depot.
FUN BEGINS.
Then the fun commenced. Baker

clerks were shifted from local posts to
The San Francisco call., 1904-10-08

eastern stations; the game Of change
Is still going on. The word was sent
forth from Washington that the better
policy would be to have the heads of
the local depot transferred TO outside
stations as the evidence presented to
the War Office was not pleasing TO the
Taft administration, which has been
doing much toward putting all
branches of the service on a strictly
business basis.
The first intimation that there was
laxity. If not criminal carelessness, in
handling the affairs of the Government
in certain branches of the quartermas-
ter's department came through a clerk
of the local depot who made an es-
peciaI trip to Washington to offer evil
dence that the Government was very
glad to receive. The quartermaster
general sent word to this city that a
board of inquiry should be appointed
to look into the matter of draying ex-
penses for the army transport serv-
ice, and other things of less import
ance. Repeated complaints were re-
ceived from Manila concerning the
quality of goods that were being
shipped to the islands by the Commis-
Sdry department.. COli pidliit was Ailou1
that goods shipped there were Of an
inferior quality. 1t developed that the
complaints did not originate with the
Commissary Department. which has
tried to use care in buying goods but
with private shipments that have been
received indirectly for Government
employees uses
A highly important phase OF the
situation is that Manila is warning San
Francisco through Washington to be
more careful in sending merchandise
to the islands. Imitations-goods un-
der spurious labels-have been forced
on the island markets and the result
has been that orders have been di-
verted to foreign sources OF supply.

toned Chief Clerk H. W. Bennett. a
