Washington, Nov. 25."If some body were to hold out to .me intone hand a check for $1,000, and in the other a document conveying to me the exclusive ownership of the presents received by Miss Eoosevelt in theT orient, and should say that I might take either, I should most certainly take the $1,000." This is the opinion of Miss Amy Mc Millan, daughter of the late Senator McMillan of Michigan, who accom panied Miss Roosevelt in her trip to the far east, and has seen all the presents given that interesting and much-ad vertised young woman. Miss McMillan has expressed this opinion quite freely among her friends in Washington, and what she says will give the general public a good idea as to the intrinsic value of the Roosevelt gifts. It is a matter of considerable regret at the White House that the presi dent's daughter was not permitted to return home from a foreign trip, bring ing her presents with her, as any other American would have been permitted to do, without comment of corced osten tation. The President's Opinion. The opinion entertained by Miss Mc Millan as to the value of these pres ents is shared not only by the presi dent, but by the other members of his family, to say nothing of the officers in the Georgetown custom house in this city, where the presents are still under appraisal. The work has been going forward very slowly, and with much uncer tainty as to its correctness, because there are no standards in this country by which to value the oriental collec tion which Miss Roosevelt brought home with her. In well-informed quarters, the secre tary of the treasury is being held re sponsible for all the talk, in the press and elsewhere, about the presents. If he had assumed the discretion which is his by law, he might have ordered the presents admitted without duty, and no voice would have been raised by way of protest nor would the gen eral public have been regaled with ab surd and extravagant stories as to the value of these presents. But instead of doing this, Secretary Shaw, as soon as word reached him that the presents had reached the Pacific coast, went direct to the president and asked him what should be done. Of course, there was only one thing that the president could reply, and that was that he wanted his daughter treated as any other American under like conditions would be treated. Then the secretary set the red tape machinery of his big office into motion, and pretty soon the press and others began to talk about the value of the presents, for it was claimed that Secretary Shaw took the question up with the president on the theory that the value of the outfit would run perhaps into six figures. Filled a Freight Oar. The presents, in bulk, are formidable. They filled a large freight car at San Francisco, and they came*thru from that point with only one transferat Kansas ity. This bulk, however, was very largely crating. The present's themselves, as they are assorted at the custom office in this city, cause the big room in which they are displayed to re semble an oriental junkshop. While for the most part they are cheap in price and small in size, they represent as a whole practically everything which the orient has to offer in the way of souvenirs, and among them are dupli cates of the articles which every ori ental traveler would bring home as re membrances of his trip, excepting only that in this case these reminders are almost unlimited in number., What most impresses one is the trivial character of the presents. There is a multitude of such trifles as children are usually interested indolls, pretty baubles of ho value, and miscellaneous trinkets. The collection embraces sev eral hundred of these things. There is, for instance, almost a hundred fans, none expensive or different in appear ance from those which one may see in any American city which contains a Japanese or a Chinese souvenir store. There are a score of firescreens of va rious patterns. One or two of these screens is of the better sort, but for the most part they are comparatively inexpensive. In the collection are sev eral fantastic paperknives and .bottles for toilet use. There are several rope and bamboo portieres, bamboo stools and settees and needle baskets. Balls, highly colored, of varying sizes, strung on cords, and intended for home orna mentation, are in the collection, and fiber rugs for the floors and headrests, such as are used in rural Japan and in nearly all of China, by the middle classes of the people. Hard to Fix Valuation. ^^m^W^-Spmm^^^ MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL, Just how to place a value upon suck a lot of plunder, the custom-house of ficials do not know, and as they will not complete their work until after con gress has met, it is understood that they hope that body will pass a joint reso lution, admitting the goods free of all duty. As showing something of the difficul ty the appraisers are experiencing. it may be said that in the* collection is a wide and tall wicker chair. It reaches almost six feet above the'floor, is per haps four feet wide in places, the back is of solid wickerwork, and the seat is oval, after the shape of a Roman chair. At first the appraisers were inclined to value this gift at $50, but they finally got down to $25 where they were prepared to stand, when a nian who has traveled much in the orient, and who has been called in to assist in the work of fixing values, said that he had one of that kind of chairs at home, and had paid $6.50, Mexican, for it: And, to crown all, this" particular: chair was made in a Chinese penal institution. Gifts from Philippines.. That part of the .collection compris ing gifts received in the Philippines is almost one-half of the whole, in bulk, and "is of almost no value^-this liter ally. It embraces innumerable articles of use among semiciyilized peoples, most inartistic in design, not adapted to civilized use or ornamentation, and made for the.most part: of bark and wood. If this part of: the collection doesn't eventually'find its way into the White House furnaces,, a good many people will miss, their guesses. One consignment .represents- the nuts grown in the Philippines, 'and this part of the crifta is of some little interestto the botanist, perhaps. One of the nut packages contains twenty pounds, an other twelve pounds, and a third ten pounds. Perhaps these nuts may "be eaten, if they do not spoil before Miss Roosevelt is ready to open the pack ages. The most? attractive part of the col lection is the Chinese and Japanese silks, of which there are several bolts, of bright colors. This oriental silk is cheap, however, and altho its value can be easily fixed by the custom house officers, it will not amount to a greatly deal in the way of duties. A Healthy Hair. SHIPIREClgEiCREW IN MASSfiCRE PERIL Victoria, B. C, Nov. 25.Details of the loss of the American ship Susque hanna, bound from New Caledonia to Delaware breakwater and abandoned in a sinking condition off Solomon islands, show that some of Captain Watts' crew had a farrow escape from massacre by blacks^ on the Solomons, because of the belief that an ex-chief, whose home was occupied by the ship wrecked Americans, had died because of their presence. Mrs. Elwell, an American woman who was a passenger, with her husband, suf fered privations with the seamen, and was much admired for her pluck. The mates and boat landed at Santa Ana, where the blacks were menacing. The day following the arrival of the shipwrecked men the ex-chief died, and his son blamed his death to the pres ence of the sailors in the hut. They moved to another hut, which was at tacked by the natives, and they es caped to their boat in the night. Next day they were picked up by the trading schooner Aola and taken to San Cris tobal, where the other shipwrecked sea men were found. Hoodwinks the Oculist. Madden Eye Medicin cures eyes.

BATE WAR IMMINENT ON STEAMSHIP LINES Special to Th Journal. New York, Nov. 25.Sentiment is growing actively in shipping circles ito this city that a general steamship rate war can hardly be avoided. There has for years been a feeling of great jeal ousy between the Bremen and the Ham burg steamship interests, and when this jealousy gets, as it is at present, to the point of open rupture, it will, it is ar gued, take more than ordinary diplo macy to restore working arrangements. Cable advices received by local steam ship interests declare that Hamburg American people have given notice of withdrawal from the continental steer age conference and a war on steerage rates is expected immediately. The cut in steerage fares will seriously affect traffic to the northwestern part of the United States and Canada. Open for Business On Dec. 4.
