ROOSEVELT GETS EVEN.
Declares He Will Not Present Arbitra-
ton Treaties as Passed.

Washington, Feb. 13.-President Roose-
welt will not present the arbitration trea-
ties, as amended by the senate, to the
countries with which they were negott-
ated. In reply to numerous inquiries by
representatives of the press at the state
department, today, Secretary Hay made in
substance the following statement:
THE president regards the matter Of
the general arbitration treaties as con-
cluded by the action of the senate on Sat-
urday. He recognizes the right of the
senate to reject a treaty either by n direct
vote or indirectly by changes which are
incompatible with its spirit and purposes.
He considers that with the senate amcn1-
ments the treaties not only cease to he a
step forward in the cause of general arbi-
tration, but are really a step backward.
and therefore he is unable to present them
in this altered form to the countries with
which we have been in negotiations"
The arbitration treaties which were
amended and ratified by the senate on
Saturday were sent to the president to-
day Each treaty was accompanied by
the usual resolution setting forth the ac-
ton taken by the senate.
T he vote of 50 10 9 in favor of the adopt
ton Of the amendments to the treaties
does not give the full strength Of the SEN
ate on the question of insisting upon its
prerogative in treaty making. There were
five pairs recorded but in each case it was
that he believed il his pair were present
he would vote for the amendment. There
seemed TO De a lack or information as 10

Of amendment to treaties and on that 40
count number of senators refrained
from voting. Senator Alice, who was re-
corded as voting for the amendment, was
not present. His name was confused with
that of Senator Alger, who was present
and voted for the amendment.
The pairs recorded were DepeW and Nc
Inery, Proctor and Mallory. Clark (Ark.)
and Willard, Pettus and Crane, and Sim
mons and Clapp. No record WITS made,
however. as to the manner these senators
would have voted.

VETERAN EDITOR TELLS OF HIS
EXPERIENCES OF THE
EARLY DAYS.
Represented Walla WalIa at Aneri-
can Mining Congress Held in
Texas Last Week.

AT the annual meeting of the Amer
lean congress held in Ell Paso, Texas
last week, Walla Walla was repre-
sented by Colonel Frank J. Parker,
for many years editor and proprietor
of the Evening Statesman. He was
appointed to represent this city by
Mayor Gilbert Hunt, and from the
way the newspapers of Ell Paso are
printing stories about the genial COL
onel. that gentleman is doing some
good boosting for Walla Walla. The
following is taken. from the Ell Paso
Herald:
I'm the person of Col Frank J.
Parker, editor, publisher. miner, In
dian war correspondent, civil war vet
eran, army scout and pony express
messenger and mail courier, Walla
Walla. Wash, has about as noted
delegate as any city in the United
states which has sent representatives
to the American Mining congress-
From fighting Indians on the plains
OF New Mexico and Arizona, doing
duty with the federal army in the
same section with Colorado volun-
teers during the civil war, carrying
mail and express and scouting over
the same country for years afterward,
with Indian fights to his credit unit
he does not know how many he in
dulged in, although he has three
wounds to prove that he was there:
to mining in Idaho and British Co
lumbia and fighting Indians again up
in the far northwest, part of the time
acting as newspaper correspondent.
down to living the peaceful life of
a newspaper publisher in these latter
days Of civilization, through all the
stormy days of the new far west,
when to be an editor meant to be
fighter, this delegate has had expert
ences that would make the average
delegate grow pale, and this is no re-
Election on the courage of the average
delegate either.
'It was forty years ago that Col
Parker first came to Ell Paso and he
said today that he never thought at
that time he would live to see it the
civilized metropolis Of great area
of country and entertaining one of
the biggest bodies Of men in the Unit
ed Seates. He is astonished at the
progress of the west and says as he
came across the Arizona and south
ern California country on the Sunset
limited and passed old familiar land
marks, where Indians were wont to
ambush the settlers and troops in the
days gone by, he could hardly realize
that the onward march of civiliza-
ton could have accomplished so much
in what seems to him to have been
very Snort period"

TROPHY FROM Philippine ISL
ANDS PRESENTED TO A
WALlA WALlA CITIZEN,
Piece Of Ordnance Captured BY Brave
Men of Troop D, Fourth Cavalry,
Remains Here.

When the Fourth United States
cavalry was serving in the Philippine
Islands in 1898 and 1899, in one Of the
battles with the natives. the enlisted
men of Troop D captured an old can
non that the insurgents had been
using in trying to retard the advance
being made by the brave men of the
troop. After the battle and when the
insurgents had been thoroughly rout-
ed the cannon was turned over by the
commanding officer of the soldiers to
Troop D. 1t was taken to Manila
and stored away until the Fourth cav
airy was ordered back to the United
States. When the troops left the
foreign country the gun was brought
along and carefully preserved. 1t
was taken to Fort Riley where the
Fourth was stationed and when the
regiment was sent to Fort Walla
Walla, the old cannon was brought
here.
Several months ago when orders
We're received directing the Fourth
cavalry to leave for the Philippines
again, the subject of what disposition
to make of the captured piece of ord
nance, was q question that gave the
only four enlisted men, who had taken
part in it's capture, much concern. A
number of suggestions were made but
none of the plans could be agreed on.
Several days ago the men had an
other conference when it was decided
to present the cannon to James Casey
former member of the Fourth cav
airy, of Walla Walla. Yesterday Mr..
Casey was notified by the men that
the cannon had been given to him and
he had the trophy brought from the
garrison to his home on Alder street.
Mr.. Casey intends to build a large
foundation in his residence lot upon
which he will mount the cannon and
on the morning of every Fourth
Of July, a salute will be fired.

George DrumheIIer Ships Another
Carload to CaIifornia-Brine a
Fancy Price There.

Little cayuses, worth on the range
anywhere from $40 to $40 are in keen
demand by polo players of California
and the east and within the past two
months no less than three carloads of
the little Indian ponies nave been
shipped to California where they are
trained as polo ponies. George
Drumheller yesterday shipped a
carload of the ponies to California.
Yesterdays shipment will probably be
followed by others, as California and
eastern polo players have decided that
the little range horses are ideal for
playing their favorite game
Yesterdays shipment was obtained
from the Lamar band of horses, rang
ing in the Touchet country, wild and
unbroken but with the endurance
that has caused them to become such
keen favorites with polo players
Horsemen who make it a business

Indian horses quickly learn their
stunts and are proving better polo
ponies than the eastern bred horses.
Running wild over the range has given
them the endurance and they are
much speedier and faster when it
comes to fast work
