Among the speakers at the love
feast which had been arranged under
the auspices of the New York Stats
zeitung on Monday night in the Man
haitian club in honor Of Mr. Charlie
magne Tower, the American ambassa-
dor at Berlin, was Mr. Melville r.
Stone, the general manager Of the As
ISOLATED Press. His remarks created
a sensation, at least among those to
whom his limitations came as a sur
prise. The speaker said:
81 have been waiting for a good
while to Sc some matters cleared up.
The Diederichs episode at Manila is
one of these things When the whole
story is told, | assure you that it will
be found that the German government
acted with scrupulous propriety, and
If all Of the facts were disclosed We
should have no ri ght whatever to make
complaint The Portsmouth peace con-
ference furnishes another Illustration.
Throughout all Of the negotiations
connected with the settlement of the
differences between Russia and Japan,
the German emperor bore a much
larger part and contributed much more
to the cause Of peace than has thus
far been disclosed It is not too much
i to say that no one one, unless it was
President Roosevelt himself, did more
in this behalf.
The story of the affair at Manila has
been told in various ways, but never
completely, accurately or officially.
The truth is this: On May 1, 1898, Ad.
miral Dewey attacked and destroyed
the Spanish fleet At that time there
were a large number of German mer-
chants in business in the city of Ma
Mia. There was a great deal of con.
fusion there, and these merchants
were naturally apprehenssye as to
their lives and property Prince Hen.
ny OF Prussia was at Hongkong, and a
delegation went to him and urged that
4 some German vessels should be sent
to the Philippines to safeguard the
German property there. This request
Prince Henry cabled at once to Der
lin. At that moment, and indeed fol
many months after, there was no pop
L ular sentiment in the United States in
4 favor OF permanently holding the Phil
ippines or making them colonial pos
sessions of this country. Indeed, one
who had full authority to speak fol

the feeling at Washington, and for the

MADE THEM LAUGH.
How "Big Bill" Devery by Amusing
the Metropolis Survived. the Burial
Accorded All Police Commissioners.

It is. a well known saying in New
York that the police department will
ssbreak" any man who undertakes to-
be its head. From having been the
target Of the most raicorous criticism,
the police commissioner is generally
.dhropped from Office into deeper OBJ
security than that from which he rose.
The place is Stunned by clever poll
ticians as a sort of graveyard Of op-
portunity. There are two exceptions
to this rule. One has become presi-
dent of the United States and the
other-Mr. Devery. The latter admin
istered the department during what,
was stigmatized as the most notorious.
" corrupt regime that has governed
New York since Tweed. He was.
charged with all kinds Of malfeasance.
He was even removed from Office, but
was reinstated by the courts. Yet
there was a coarse vein Of humor in
the man that went far towards re-
deeming his shortcomings. He amused
the city, and she liked him for it. She
can always forgive one who makes her
laugh. Think of a man, while courts
are busy analyzing one phase Of his
character, rising up as candidate for.

convention at Saratoga with an ire

OIdHS no nave the car go on with the
war. The very contrary is true. It
was in the days of the third week of
August, 1905, when the negotiations
suddenly began to lag, and there was
grave danger that they would be brok-
en- off altogether. It seemed as if
the influence of President Roosevelt
was about to fail Count Witte and
Baron Rosen had received definite in
structions from ST. Petersburg to
withdraw from the conference on the
following Tuesday. At; this critical
juncture the president addressed
Emperor William II, by cable, invoking
his aid to bring about satisfactory
result of the peace negotiations. The.
German emperor put himself in teach
with the car, and the satisfactory re-
suit was then accomplished in Ports
mouth on August 28th.
Such is the share which Emperor
William had in the peace OF Ports
mouth between Russia and Japan. He
has indeed played a much greater
part and contributed more to the
cause of peace than has hitherto been
known. This means no detraction
from the great merits of President
Roosevelt, who has indeed himself.
openly and expressly borne witness
to the cooperation Of the emperor.
Since the day Of Manila and it's sub
sequent unfriendly sentiment of the
American people against Germany a
mighty change has taken place. The
distrust has disappeared. A good
start has been made for a better
mutual understanding. Relations have
become friendly. To further strength
en- the bonds Of friendship and to show.
how unfounded was the former dis
trust and to prove that president and
emperor joined hands in promoting the
work of peace these revelations about
"the secret history of Manila, and the
share Of the German emperor in the
bringing about Of the peace at Ports
mouth are printed. The worlds peace
cannot rest upon a stronger bulwark
| than the friendly union of the German
land the American nations. e

MAINTAINING DOLLAR WHEAT

Thirteen states were represented at
the grairgrOWerS' meeting OF the
American Society of Equity in Omaha.
Neb.. Wednesday. and the 400 delegates
were unanimous in the announcement
that "one dollar shall be the minimum
rrice for a bushel of wheat with other
grains in proportion" The slogan
dollar wheat is an admirable war
cry. either for a political party or Tor
a farmers convention, and. with per-
feet understanding of the blessings
which flow in the train of dollar wheat,
there are few, if any, industries or in
terests in the United States that would
not rejoice in the perpetuity of that
figure. But dollar wheat can no more
be maintained by artificial methods.
conflicting with the natural law of sup
ply and demand. than can the price of
any other commodity of universal pro-
duction be regulated and maintained
by artificial methods.
Three years ago the regular wage
scale for Nome miners was $40 per
day Now they are striking for 81
per day. This decrease of Sc per day
in wages was not made voluntarily,
but was in response to an immutable
law. the contradiction of which in
variably discloses the limitations or
those who attempt to set it aside. The
American wheatgrower is in COMPETE
ton with the whole world. Included
in his competitors are a number of
cheap-labor countries which can ana
do produce wheat at a smaller cost
per buShel than will ever be possible
in this country. Two years ago, when
a remarkably short crop in the United
States removed this country from the
list of exporting countries, these cheap
wheat countries supplied the worlds
markets at prices so low that for
months wheat sold from Is cents to
% cents per bushel higher in Chicago
than in Liverpool, which in normal
years governs the worlds price on
wheat.
Had the United States produced q
normal crop that year, when all the
rest of the world was selling wheat
at % cents per bushel under the Amer
lean price, it would have been no more
possible for the American Society OF
Equity to maintain dollar wheat than
1t would for it to control the move.

BIBLE SCHOOL

Interesting Work Accomplish
ed BY Members

With the end of May the Park Street
Baptist Bible school completed its first
year of graded work. The beginners
class and first and second primary
grades have used special lessons pre-
pare for little ones.
The first, second and third grades Of
the Junior department have had les
sons especially prepared and adapted
to their advancement, such as 'The
Patriarchs,' THE men of the Bible, -
and Introduction to bible study A
certain amount of supplemental work
has also been assigned each grade.
These grades have done good work
and passed creditable examinations on
the work required Of them. The pro-
motion exercises occurred June 2, at
II a. m. and were enjoyed by a large
number of parents and friends. Certii-
Gates of promotion were presented to 60

he will do well to sell the September

that might force him to sell the actual
wheat for rs cents per bushel or less.

SOUNDS NOTE OF WARNING.

In view Of the fuel famine that eX-
listed in Walla Walla last winter with
its attendant Inconvenience and eXas-
perations. citizens should heed the
note of warning sent out by mountain
dealers and lay in their winters sup
ply of fuel before the busy season be-
gins. According to dealers of the Blue
mountain district there will be little
wood cut in that section this season
owing to the scarcity of labor and the
remoteness of timber from the rail-
road. Similar conditions exist IN
nearly every other locality which
heretofore. have been depended upon
for fuel. The fuel situation is again
beginning to assume a serious aspect
and concerted action should be taken
at once to see that Walla Walla Is
plentifully supplied, and at reasonable
prices, before next winter.
