EVANS COMPLAINS
OF BAD TREATMENT
Says Sailors Were Abused BY
Police at Portland
THREATENED WITH GUN
Members of the Navy Are Refused Ad-

Amusement and Other
wise Mstreated.

Washington, September 1S.-Rear Ad-
miral Evans has sent the secretary OF
the navy a report In which he vigorous
" criticises the treatment the sailors OF
his fleet received while at Portland. He
claims that they were beaten by the po-
Nee and refused admittance to places or
amusement because they were their uni
i, form.
Secretary Bonaparte is not sure that
the civil rights act would meet the con-
ditions that now exist, and is also doupu-
full applying law designed for wnoi-
1v different purpose. The secretary De-
lleves a law can be passed which Will
nrotect the men of the navy and army
against such treatment as Is complain
ed of.
The report of Admiral Evans follows
"nur,nr the recent visit of the Iowa,
Indiana and second torpedo flotilla TO
Portland, many of the men from the In
diana were treated with great brutality
by the police and by civilian in the
presence of the police.
''These men who were without doubt
perfectly sober and going in the direc-
tion of the wharf at which the ships
boats landed were clubbed, were kicked
and knocked down by these police. The
civilian in the presence of the police
drew revolver and threatened them.

place at skating rink. Tickets were sold
to them to enter the skating rink on

were refused admittance to other places
of common amusement and to which
civilians regardless of their characters
or of the condition OF their clothing We're
admitted II they had the price of ad-
mission.
II presume the owners or managers or
places of amusement are not compelled
to sell tickets, but 1t seems sad COM
ment on the patriotism of the citizens OF
Portland to say that they object to sit

men who are In a profession amongst the
most honorable of any in the world.

the men concerned and l have TO ask II

Eyes on Commission.

1.-THE commission should understand that
the eyes of every freight agent and OF
every shipper who has heretofore received
discriminating rates, as well as the eyes
of all the people Of the United States are
fixed upon the commission to see whether
it is in earnest in the enforcement OF the
law in its integrity or are going to pur-
sue practice of emasculating the law by
winking at illegal practices.
'HThe real condition which the commits
sion is facing In the present inquiry ls,
shall railroad companies have general eX-
port schedules as a basis for all cotton
growers and dealers to trade on while a
few dealers shall have a secret under
standing with the carrier that they may
trade on a lower basis of rates, and when
they have scooped their competitors ana
effected the trade, an instantaneous mid
night tariff may be put into cover the par
ticular shipment to expire when the ship
ment is made"

for, the people he represented to be put
in the attitude of Juggling with the COM

Midnight Secret Tariff.

Judge Baxter declared that SO far as
his roads were concerned they never mad
been accused before 'of making anything
analogous to midnight secret tariff"
1.-The letter." he said further sis an in
suit to the commission as much as 1t is
to u.s. 1t is an insult to us to suppose
we could assume this commission to
wink at anything. and 1t is no insult to
this commission to suppose that 1t would
wink at it If we asked 1t.
The letter, he said was virtual con-
fession of the writer that the rebates
and iniquitious work that he has been
CARRYING on is about as bad as you have
ever read of.
The commission passed the matter over
without announcing the letter writer s
name and ordered the hearing to proceed,
f b. M. Stratchan, steamship broker
of Brunswick and Savannah Ga, and
Fernandina, Fla, argued that the pupil-
cation of an export rate on cotton to the
several ports and the observance OF tnat
rate without change in less than thirty
days notice would operate to the advan-
tage of regular line steamers and against
tramp steamers He, therefore, urged that
the commission, under Its discretion,
waive the thirty days notice Of proposed
change of rates
The hearing developed into generally
discussion of the whole subject of cotton
traffic. the outcome being that the repre-
sentatives of the lines east OF the MISS
issippi, who are favorable to the waiving
of the thirty day notice. and those west
of the Mississippi who favor the EN-
forcement of that provision of the law.
charged each other with endeavoring to
restrict competition.
An adjournment was taken until tomor-
row.

ESKIMO HAS NO MASTER

There are no chieftains in the Es-
kimo community. They all regard
themselves as free men, with an equal
right to hunt, fish, sleep and eat. Ev.
erybody shifts for himself. He is
absolutely and Internationally indie
pendent. His only ambition is to be
a good hunter and to rear sons who
will inherit his skill with lance and
harpoon. He has helped himself
against the elements for centuries and
the white man descending on his
shores, ostensibly to confer the bless
ings of civilization, has never been
able to improve his condition but only
to detract from the old time happiness
and advantages of the aboriginal Es-
kimo community.
DR.. Fridtjof hansen, Captain Holm,
DR.. Salager and several other eXplor-
ers have pointed out that an approach
to civilization means to the Eskimo
slow but certain process of deteriora-
ton. In almost every instance where
the experiment has been tried, such
as around the Godthaab settlements,

the Eskimo, confounding the virtues
and vices of civilization, has even been
made victim of the latter at the ex-
pense of his own native virtues. In
his natural state he leads a natural
life on natural principles. No law tells
him he must not lie, yet he never lies;
no law tells him he must not kill, steal
or cause suffering among his tribe,
any yet he never kills, steals or causes
trouble.
The natural helpfulness of the Es-
kimo is the basis of the socialistio
state in which he lives. He will risk
his life to save that of another, even
his enemy. He will share the spoils
Of the hunt with his neighbors. II
his neighbor dies and his wife is left
alone with children he will provide
for her until she marries again. He
does not SANDER or tell tales; he does
not abuse any one and he does not
fight. He is man of peace. He loves
peace for its own sake and his life is
one long, laborious attempt at happi-
ness for himself and his people.

question, How long will it take?' You
hear it in drug stores at the prescrip-

ton for no apparent reason. They
simply meet and stare at each other

With his ticket to Atlanta tucked

SHOULD A HORSE
Be CLIPPED +?
CLIPPING IN THE EARLY SPRING

VETERINARIANS.
All Thinking Men Readily Recognize
lts Advantages.

"a horse is valuable asset, and
should receive the best care possible.
He should be well fed, comfortably
stabbed. carefully groomed and clipped

these attentions he will work well
and improve in value. A horse lives
under artificial conditions In his
wild state he required none of these
attentions, for he was able to look
out for himself. The domesticated
animal, being worked under condi-
tons that are In themselves artificial.
must be kept In condition for such
work
The clipping of horse in the early
spring is now conceded by all the
leading veterinarians to be as essen
tial to horses well being as shoeing
him or giving him comfortable bed
to lie on. Farmers in England and
France have been clipping their
horses for many years, and American
farmers are not slow to realize its
advantages. A clipped horse dries
out rapidly after a hard days work,
and will rest comfortably and be re-
freshed for the work the following
day. An unclipped horse is liable to
catch the heaves, pneumonia and all
sorts of colds, rheumatism, etc. More
especially Is this so In the early
spring, when his hair is long and he
is soft" II worked hard he will per.
spire freely and the moisture will be
held by his long hair, and the food
that should go to nourish him will be
used to replenish the heat that is be-
ing constantly taken from his body
by the mass of cold wet hair. II
clipped the Precipitation will evapor-
ate almost as soon as secreted. and
when put in the stable he rests COM
fortably and his food does him good.
Some years ago Buffalo street car
company tested the value of clipping
In the following manner: They own
ed 500 horses, and $50 Of these were
clipped early In the spring and $50
were not clipped. A careful record
was kept Of results, and 1t was found
that of the $50 unclipped horses 1853
were afflicted with coughs and pneu-
monia, while OF the $50 clipped not
one case of sickness was reported.

very good health If he did hard man
ual work clothed with heavy under
wear, a heavy suit and a fur overcoat,
and after perspiring freely, as he
naturally would, 60 to sleep without
removing same. 1t is just as ridicu-
lous to expect horse to be in perfect
health IL worked under the same con-
ditions.

from your investment in your horse,
