JAMES CASEY ALSO PROTESTS.

Editor Evening Statesman: On last
Saturday evening The Statesman sur
prised and pleased it's patrons by pub
fishing a colored supplement full of
innocent and entertaining humor. The
editor of the Morning Union, not to be
outdone, attended personally to the
Sunday supplement of his paper and
published for the amusement Of the
Walla Walla public a vile diatribe en-
titled "The Heroism of the Ugly
Devil which, to say the least, is an
affront to every brave boy who has
fought for the old flag, and gratuitous
insult to the Irish people,
"A mongrel by Irish descent" is the
appellation this verdant editor seems
to think the most fitting for the Irish
American soldier.
Let me tell this scurrillous scribe
that the brightest pages of the worlds
history are replete with praise of the
Irish soldier, be he fighting for his own
Isle of the Shamrock or enrolled in
the muster of foreign nation. Ameri-
ca more than any other nation is in
debted to Irish valor and intrepidity
In every battle of the revolution from
Lexington to Yorktown the Irish SOL
der fought bravely for the cause of
liberty.
Wherever the American banner
waved, whether on land or sea, it never
struck to a foe, it never knew disgrace
or shame, it never went down before
the Briton, the Tartar, the Spaniard Or
the Filipino while one Irish heart
could rally it or one Irish hand be
raised in its defense.
Indelibly written on Fame's eternal
roll of honor and indissolubly connect
ed with the successful achievement of
American arms in the revolution, are
the names of the Irish-gallant John
Sullivan, the hero of Germantown;
Mad Anthony Wayne, "the white chief
that never slept; the immortal Mont
gomery, who sacrificed his life at the
storming of Quebec, and saucy Jack
Barry, the Father of the American
Navy"
In the Civil War the achievements of
the patient Mcclellan, proud Meagher,
of fiery Sheridan, and dauntless Sher-
man, not to speak of Thomas, Halleck
and Hancock in the ranks together
with the myriads of other Irish or
Irish American heroes from the file
who were ever in the vanguard strug-
Cling for te safety, integrity and pros
perity of the land of their birth or
adoption.
In many an unmarked grave on the
southern plain, shaded by the spread
ing palmetto, and under mounds un-
epitaphed amid the pine-clad hills OF
the North lies an unknown Irish hero
who died in Columbia's cause, but
1T recks not where their bodies lie,
by OlOOuy nlIISlOe, pam or river,
Their deeds are bright on Fame's
proud sky;
Their deeds of valor live forever"
And these are the heroes whom Ar
thur A. Greene would typify by 'the
mOngrel of Irish descent, sired by vice
and damned by iniquity!"
Attend to this, you Irish Americans
who subscribe your money to Unions
Golfers that it may have wherewith to
pay its barrier hireling to call you
the mOngrel IRISH" Respectfully,
JAMES CASEY.

BRYAN MET THE KING
IN PRIVATE AUDIENCE AT BUCK
INGHAM PALACE.

LONDON, July 26.-William J. Bryan.
who was introduced by Ambassador Reid,
was received In private audience by King
Edward at Buckingham Palace today. The
visit was paid at the kings special re-
quest his majesty having netified Mr..
Reid that he desired to meet Mr.. Bryan.
The interview was quite informal and was
marked by the pleasing cordiality which the
king is accustomed to show Americans In
whom he Is interested. Only the king, Mr..
Reid and Mr.. Bryan were present The
conversation largely turned on the subj ect
of peace and the conference of the inter-
parliamentary union, with the objects of
which the king showed himself thoroughly
in accord.
Subsequently the king received some
eighty members of the interparliamentary
union in the throne room Representatives
Richard Bartholdt of Missouri, 7. E. Bur-
ton of Ohio and lockwood Hoar of Massa-
chusetts representing the American group.
Mr.. Bryan accompanied his three COM
patriots at this function, which was some
what in the nature of levee.
King Edward, who wore plain clothes,
stood in front of the throne while the vis-
itors filed past. AS each person was intro
duced the king shook hands with him, MAX
ing occasional brief remarks to the most
prominent members of the party.

FIELD ESTATE $3.50, 900, 900.
Controversy at Chicago Over Tax Rate
Ended

CHICAGO. July 26.-The three-cornered
controversy between the board of review.
the executors of the Marshall Field estate
and the city corporation councils office
came to an end yesterday when the taxing
body decided that the Field estate should
be taxed total of S1S0,OO0,0OO this year,
including back taxes.
The decision means that the executors of
the estate will be compelled to pay the
county $500, ,000 which is more than the to-
tai amount of property on which Mr.. Field
was taxed during the last year of his
life.
The greater part of this sum is to come
from the collection of back taxes on which
Mr.. Field is held by the board to have es-
capped payment. The members of the board
estimated the back taxes without any au-
thentic figures to guide them.
President of the Board w. H. Upham
held that the board should fix the amount
of the property upon which taxes had not
been paid since 1899. at average of S15,-
100000 year. amounting to S105. .0o0, 600 for
the seven years. To this amount will be
added 10 cents by the law, collectable in
all cases of this kind. This amounts to
$40, 000,00o The personal property upon
which the estate shall be compelled to pay
taxes this year was placed $25, COX, 900.

JAPAN'S NAVAL PLANS.
Many Changes Are Contemplated at
Toxic,

VICTORIA, B. c., July 26-The steamer
Shinano. which arrived yesterday, brought
news Of many contemplated changes in the
japanese navy. The naval program has
been arranged whereby the strength of the
Japanese navy will reach $4,000 tons in
1908, but 1t Is not believed the strength will
be permanently retained. Twenty-three
cruisers will be struck off the effective list
this year. The details of the proposed ex-
pansion of the navy are now being drawn
up at Toxic.
Advices were received from Korea that
consequent to the surrounding of the palace
with Japanese troops on July 4. the seal
of the Korean emperor was secured to
new mining treaty, effective on September
/, which will affect American mining in
terests in Korea.
Inasmuch as concessions held now must
not be sold or mortgaged without the con-
sent of the Japanese government, foreign
will be bound by the regulations of this
treaty. A Japanese committee of 700 mem-
bers have been investigating the resources
Of Manchuria and will leave in August.

ORDERED TO FORT MYER.
Chaplain Brown Relieved from Duty at
Fort McHenry.

The recent transfer of Chaplain Charles
c. Pierce from the Artillery Corps at Fort
Myer, Va. to the Engineer Battalion at
Washington barracks left the Fort Myer
post without chaplain. Owing to the prox-
unity of that post to the Arlington Nation
al Cemetery and the frequent need of the
services of chaplain at the burial of SOL
diers In that cemetery, the War Depart
ment has found it necessary to provide for
the existing vacancy. An order was issued
at the War Department today relieving
Chaplain Henry A. Brown, Artillery Corps,
from duty at Fort McHenry near Balti-
more, Md, on the completion of his tenn
porary duty at the United States Military
Academy and ordering him to proceed to
Fort Myer Va, for assignment to duty

NOT A PUBLIC WORK.
Official Opinion Regarding a Battle
ship Under Construction.


The Navy Department has been advised
holds that a battleship under construction
is not public work within the meaning of
the eight-hour labor law and that the act
applies TO permanent improvements of gov
ernment property. An opinion to that effect
was prepared by Solicitor General Hoyt
and has been sent to Attorney General
Moody at Boston. The Attorney General.
referring TO a former opinion OK the depart
ment, has announced that the department
has made no change in it's former ruling
The final draft as issued TO the service
of the order of Brig. Gen. Crozier chief of
ordnance, relative to the enforcement of the
eight-hour law in the case of contractors
shows an important modification In one
point as compared with the draft originally
prepared and published in the press a few
days ago. In the first draft the Secretary
of War is said to have decided that it was
the duty OF ordnance officers to prevent the
violation of the eight-hour law, .'notwith-
standing the opinion of the Attorney GEN
erai published in general orders No 81 of
1892"
In fact it appears that there Is reason to
doubt whether that opinion warranted the
construction thus placed upon It. SO on that
point the modified order now reads mot
withstanding the previous Interpretation of
their duty in this regard
Acting Secretary Oliver. with the view To
securing an opinion from the highest au-.
thority within reach of the executive. and
securing uniformity OF application OF the
the government. has called upon the Attor-
ney General for construction OF the law
so far as It relates to government con-
tractors.

keel. Then he went to the assistance Of
two others and took them to the bow,

ance when taken ashore, but the others
suffered only from the wetting and fright.
