D effect that General Dewet has issued a procla- mation declaring he will shoot all British troops found in Orange River Colony after Septem- ber 15. It is not likely that the dispatch is strictly i accurate, but it is quite reasomable to suppose the | Boer leader has deemed it proper to meet Lord Kitchener's proclamation with a counter proclama- tion of his own, and to manifest to the world his de- | fiant determination to fight the war for liberty so long as life remains with him. Whether the report of the proclamation be true or not, it is evident the struggle in South Africa has reached the stage that “staggers humanity.” It is no longer a campaign of armed and disciplined combat- ants fighting according to the established rules of civilized warfare, but a struggle which appears to have for its object something like the extermination of one | side or the other. The British troops have raided | and harried the country until it has become but little | more than a desert. Women and children have been | carried from their homes and herded into camps, while farmhouses and barns have been looted and burned. On the other side the British have reported | several instances where their wounded taken prison- er by the Boers have been shot. Such a struggle among men above the grade of bar- barians is appalling. It was with the hope of putting an end to it that Kitchener issued his famous procla- mation warning the Boer leaders to surrender be- fore September 15 under a penalty of exile for life when captured. The proclamation was responded to at the time by letters from Dewet and others re- asserting their oft declared intention of fighting so | long as they were 4ble to carry arms, and now comes the report of the further declaration that since they have no way of guarding prisoners they will take none. Should the report prove to be true and the evidence be forthcoming that the Boers do indeed intend to make it 2 war of extermination against their invaders, the process of staggering humanity will have been brought to a fearful consummation. According to the latest reports Kitchener has a force of something like 200,000 .men, of whom up- ward of 50,000 are organized as mounted infantry. These carefully selected horsemen are divifled into three main columns and are supposed to be in vig- orous pursuit of the Boers at 2ll times. On the other hand, British authorities estimate the total number of armed Boers in the field at not exceeding 17,000. It is7with such odds against him that Dewet has issued his ultimatum of defiance. Such bein§ the case, if the report of his threac to kill every British soldier taken in Orange River Colony be true, it will hardly be regarded without sympathy. It is not the procla- mation of a commander of a great army threatening with death al! who resist him, but that of the heroic leader of 2 small band of patriots meeting the threat -of his powerful foe with an eagle scream of defiance unto death. DEWET'S PROCLAMATION. ISPATCHES from Capetown are to the | There is no power in Europe that can interfere be- tween France #md Turkey and say “arbitration” in ex- Iy the same tone Uncle Sam used in saying it to Great Britain and Venezuela, but none the less in a quiet sort of way the concert of Europe will prob- ably get in its work und keep the peace. Russia has decided upon the construction of a canal to connect the Baltic Sea with the Arctic Ocean, <o should there ever be any battling among the nations for possession ofithe north pole she will be in a commanding position. It is announced that in proportion to population there are more newspapers publisned in Towa than in | any other State in the Union, and yet Mr. Conger would rather live in China than be Governor of such a State. There is a rumor that Bryan wjll take the stump in Towa this fall, but that is not expected to affect the Republican walkover. |and truthfulness of The Call, and says: | the country press. HE country press of California is very out- STATE PRESS AND THE STRIKE. T spoken on the subject of the strike. The coun- try editor is an independent man, intelligent, an observer of the rural conditions around him, and a true interpreter of the public opinion of the ranch- ers and country business men. With only occasional and unimportant exceptions the country press is clear in its conception of the re- sponsibility for the waste of a year’s crop by the strike. The statements of the strike leaders and the Examiner are denied and denounced. The sympathy asked for by the several “appeals” of the strikers ‘is refused, and every florid statement and claim put for- ward to excuse their active agency in the injury of the farmers is punctured by counter statement of the cold facts. The Santa Cruz Sentinel approves the attitude of The Call. The Record-Union says the Examiner has ceased to be a newspaper and prints only such mat- ter as suits its designs, to carry out its purpose, and that it is preventing a settlement of the strike by its evil course, and “is a curse to the city in which it is published.” The Tulare Register says: “The strike is based on the proposition that all labor must be unionized, and if men will not join the unions and surrender their personal liberty by persuasion they must do it by compulsion—must be starved to it. This contention is not just and public sentiment is not bound by it. There is but one thing for farmers to do and that is to take their men and go to Port Costa and load their grain themselves. If strikers keep their distance no one will be hurt. It is probable that an appeal should first be made to the Governor for militia to be sent to Port Costa to protect the lives and prop- erty of the farmers and warehousemen, and if the Governor does not order the militia the farmers will be justified in taking their Winchesters along and throwing out a picket line to keep the strikers at bay until the work is completed and every ship in port is loaded and sent on its way.” The Alameda Argus says: ‘“We are somewhat sur- prised that The Call discusses the strike in such ex- cellent temper. Its ownér is a large employer of labor and has always conceded labor’s demands. But the strikes have particularly hit him, though he is in no way at fault. That he can suffer the loss and an- noyance without resentment proves that he is more even tempered than most men.” The Napa Register says that in view of the riots and assaults by strikers the Examiner will protest in vain against more adequate police prote€tion. The Livermore Echo severely reprehends the Ex- aminer’s éncouragement of lawlessness and its agency ;in the distress of the farmers by the ruin of their | crops. The Winters Express says: “It is a pleasure to find one San Francisco paper taking a stand for the right, irrespective of the counting-room og the fear of boycott. The Call puts the simationfl#orccfufly, plainly, temperately and honestly. In contrast with the intemperate utterances of the Examiner, the daily mistrepresentation and abuse heaped upon the good namge and best interests of the State by that journal, The Call's sersible utterances are like a beacon light to a storm-tossed ship.” The Los Angeles Times says: “Of course the Ex- aminer is merely seeking nickels, and as a matter of fact and finance is employing numbers of strikers to | solicit subscriptions among their fellows by pleading that the Examiner is supporting them and must be itself supported.” The Marysville Appeal declares that: “If the grain- growers will call a meeting at Sacramento, each mem- ber to bring his gun, enough volunteers can be had in fifteen minutes to raise the Port Costa blockade in another fifteen minutes after they reach the ground. The warehousemen will be only too glad to furnish subgistence, and there are enough ex-soldiers among' the farmers to properly officer and direct the move- ment. The entire proceeding can be administered at a cost inconsiderable as compared with the cost of housing the grain now on the river banks.” The Santa Barbara Press commends the boldness “The city and country have suffered greatly already from the effects of business stagnation, but this is not the worst feature. Business is being restored at great cost in protecting workingmen.” The Stockton Independent accuses the Examiner of inciting riot. The Bakersfield Californian ac- cuses the Examiner of preventing a settlement and j‘ injuring the whole State. The Calaveras Prospect denounces the sinistei' and disorderly course of the Examiner. The San Ber- nardino Times-Index says: “San Francisco is dis- gracing herself with the scenes of violence permitted in connection with the strike. If the law-abiding ele- ment predominate there it would better keep order; if that element do not predominate it is a good place to stay away from.” The Livermore Herald says great damage has been caused to the farmers by the strike, and worse will come. We have not at disposal in one issue the space to give even brief mention to all the like expressions of With them is an undertone that bodes no good to the plans of the designing leaders and evil advisers of union labor, who have taken from it the last vestige of sympathy and respect among the | country people. If that labor find itself deserted by a powerful class of allies, whom it has hurt as if they were its bitterest encmies, let it remember that The Call warned it in time.lo have avoided what will fol-_ low. As a woman who went to the Vanderbilt mansion in New York and asked for $3,000,000 has been ar- rested and charged with insanity, it seems fair to in- fer that the New Yorkers believe a rational woman having a request of that kind to make would have applied to Carnegie. ” WILLIAM AND CHUN. HE civilized world is relieved that the Kaiser T withdrew his demand that the Chinese Prince Chun, sent to Berlin to apologize for the mur- der of the German Minister, should bump his shaved head on the floor nine times in front of the imperial throne. Prince Chun gave notice that gentlemen of his standing in China were not accustomed to bump their heads on the floor before foreign potentates, and that if he were compelled to do it he and his exten- sive suite would immediately commit suicide. ' At first this looks fantastic, buty in it is an admir- able spirit. Chun was in the power of Germany and | could be compelled to submit to any humiliation the Kaiser might decree. But he could whiten his honor and self-respect in his own blood, and when shed it would be upon the head of the German mperor. William never encountered just such a case of Ppassive resistance before and was compelled to retreat from his barbaric position and accept the apology for his Minister’s murder in such form as apy self-respecting gentleman could express it. When he began to back out he retreated into a show of cordiality by inviting Chun to stop over night with him in the palace. It is well that the incident ended in this way and that China was not taught that her own System of kowtowing and head-bumping is also an Occidenta institution. D ———— TALK AT THE CAPITAL. ITH the coming of cooler weather in the WEast Washington correspondents have dropped their “silly season” discussions of Presidential booms and are now gathering informa- tion concerning the business to be undertaken at the next session of Congress. A great deal of legisla- tion is under consideration, and as usual our states- men will have plenty of work before them when they meet. Many important measures remain from the last session, and in addition there are several new is- sues to be dealt with. It is expected the House will organize with un- usual promptness and get ready for business before the holidays. Speaker Henderson, it is said, has been assured of his re-election and will return to Washing- ton early and set to work assigning the committees of the House, so that there will be no delay on that score. It is believed there will be no important changes in the committees, and consequently as soon as the House organizes all will be ready to enter at once upon the active work of legislation. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune states that men at the capital who are familiar with public affairs are of the opinion that the coming Congress will deal with a greater volume of business at its first session than any of its pre- decessors for twenty-five years. Among the more im- portant matters that demand attention are the problems of insular government, the application of American law to cur new. possessions, the re- enactment of the Chinese exclusion law, additional immigration legislation, restriction of representation in the Southern States which adopt constitutional amendments depriving the colored race of suffrage,) the lengthening of the Congressional and Presiden- tial terms by a few weeks to enable the inauguration of President and Vice President to occur in clement | weather, and to provide for the assembling of Con- gress earlier after its election. In addition to those measures, which are essentially new, there will be the merchant marine bill, the Nic= aragua canal bill and the plre food bill, which have now been under consideration for a long time. Doubtless also something will be attempted in the way of providing for irrigation of arid lands, the preservation of pastures and of forests on the national domain, and possibly an effort will be made in the., direction of revising the tariff in some particulars. Secretary Root, it is said, will recommend legisla- tion for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the National Guard and rendering it more service- able to the Federal Government in time of war or in any emergency requiring the prompt co-operation of the guard with the regular army. Secretary Long | desires legislation of a similar kind affecting the State Naval Reserve, and it is said he will recommend that the reserve shall be composed of men who on occa- sions may be transferred to the navy and perform all the duties that are required of officers and men on ships of the line. Of course not all of the legislation now discussed will be-enacted, but it is believed that much in the way of beneficial work will be accomplished. The forecast is that not only will Congress organize promptly and get to work in December, but that it will not adjourn until late in the summer. ———— It is said that the Photographers’ Association which recently met in Boston “took the town,” but it is safe to say they left it where they found it, for | the kind of art that flourishes there is not permitted to photography anywhere else. S v RUSSIA’S NEW PORT. Wcfiorts in the direction of obtaining a port on the ‘Pacific better fitted for commerce than Vladivostok, and has been noting carefully her movements to effect 2 lodgment in Manchuria, the Russians themselves have turned a portion of their energies westward and are now preparing for the con- struction of a deep water canal from the Baltic to the Arctic Ocean, so that in case of European complica- tions their fleets and merchant vessels could get into the Atlantic without having to run the gauntlet of the | Baltic. 3 The Arctic terminus of the canal is to be,at Alex- androvsk, a port which has been recently constructed at Kola Bay, on the Marman coast. It is said the Russian authorities have found the port to be almost free from ice, and that they have constructed there a safe harbor for the largest war vessels, with ample accommodations for a considerable fleet. The ter- minus of the canal in the White Sea will be at Sorozkaja. By the routes of the canal the distance from St. Petersburg to Sorozkaja will be very nearly 600 miles, and to Alexandrovsk 1090 miles, while the present route around the Scandinavian peninsula is 2870. It is estimated the cost of the canal will not be great when the length of the route and the advantages to be gained are taken into consideration. ~Between St. Petersburg and Sorozkaja the route will traverse rivers and lakes for almost the whole distance, so | that little will have to be done on that part of the line further than to deepen and regulate the natural waterways. The remainder of the route will also be easy of construction, for the surveys have disclosed the fact that at a former age there was a natural waterway connecting the northern end of the Baltic with the Arctic, and a belt of shallow lakes situated among low hills still marks its former course. The strategic value of the route in case of a war with Germany or Great Britain will be great, for at present either of those powers could virtually cork Russia up in the Baltic and prevent her fleets from operating on the ocean. When the cahal has been opened a different situation will present itself. Rus- sia will have two avenues to the ocean, and it is not likely both could be closed against her. It does not appear that the Russians expect much of the canal in the way of commercial advantage, but of course something will be gained in that direction also. It will be seen that the great inland empire is rapidly making its way to the seas. It has now an ample frontage on the Pacific. By the recent treaty with Persia it obtains a virtual control of the best ports on the Persian Gulf and has thus gained ad- mission to the Indian Ocean.’/ When the new canal to the Arctic has been opened there will remain but one avenue more to be provided, that of admission to the Mediterranean, and even that may be acquired much sooner than now seems likely or even pos-- sible. HILE the world has been watching Russian NOTED NEWSPAPER WOMAN TELLS OF HER EXPERIENCES: IN MANILA: s RS. TERESA DEAN, the well- known “Widow” of New York Town 'Topics and probably the - most Trilliant newspaper woman writer in America, is at the Pal- ace after an extended trip to North China and Manila. Mrs. Dean went to China and Manila to report for Town Topics the exact state of affairs in those two per- turbed countries. Her letters to the paper which "she represents have been widely read and are said to have exerted a tre- mendous influence with those in position to do and undo things. Mrs. Dean made a five months’ stay in Manila. During that time she made a close study of the people and the condi- tion of affairs there, and while greatly impressed with our new possessions and keenly alive to the wondrous possibilities of the islands she is mot enthusiastic about the Philippines as an American country for American people. According to this lady, who has studied and observed, it is going to take a full half-century crammed to the full with American brain, American perseverance and American tact to clvilize and edu- cate the new people who are going to find protection where the stars and stripes wave. And it is not going to be accom- plished under the soothing influence of civil government. Military government, according to Mrs. Dean, is the only mode of government for the Filipinos. ‘“Wherever civil government has re- placed military government,” said the tal- ented writer, “disastrous results have followed. Bullets went flying and blood was shed, and only the presence of the military could restore peace and order. Batangas, Cebu and Bohoe reveled for a while in the uncertain conditions of civil government, but are now again under the strong hand of the military man.” Mrs. Dean deciares that the foreign ele- ment in Manila is America’s worst enemy there. In this foreign element the lady ranks the English first, the Spanish sec- ond and the Germans third. She also con- tends that they encourage the insurgents and look with favorable eyes on all dis- turbances calculated to disturb the peace of the nation, for war means to them profit. Previous to Mrs. Dean leaving Manila she had a talk with the Commissioners there and they told her, she says, that no more women teachers would be allowed to come. ‘““The women,” sald Mrs. Dean, “have absolutely no idea of the awful hardships they will have t& face in that new land. They are sent off into the in- terior far from all military protectfon and in places where it is absolutely dan- gerous for a woman to be alone. They never see any of the luxuries of life and positively suffer for many of the necessi- ties. Milk and butter are unheard of, and letters from home are many months be- tween.” Mrs. Dean’s descriptions of the social life of Manila are most alluring. There is a continual round of gayety there, and brave men and fair women make a circle that any metropolitan city might be proud of. Court of Appeals in Seattle. Judges Gilbert, Morrow and Ross will sit as the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in Seattle next Monday. On the 16th the court will sit in Portland and on October 1 in this city.
