WILL NOT INTERFERE
Germany Indifferent to the
Fate of Philippines.
A CHANGE IN PUBLIC OPINION
Emperor William's Interest In Cuba*
War Operations— Question
of American Meat* \
Berlin, Oot. 11.—There has been a
freat change in German pnblio opinion
on the subject of the retention of the
Philippine islands by the United:
Statee. The feeling toward America
generally is much more favorable than
a couple of months ago. The news
from the United States that the govern
ment at Washington is eeriously con
templating holding the Philippines, is
commented upon dispassionately in
the German press, and it is significant
that this week two papers of suoh
■ tnndlng as the Knlnische Zeitnng and
the Vossiche Zeitung have published
long letters from German merchants
■ettled in the Philippine islands, in
which American annexation is strongly
advocated. A correspondent of the
Vossiche Zeitung even vigorously com
bats Germany making any attempt to
secure a portion of the islands, citing
weighty reasons therefor.
Another significant fact this week
was that a delegation representing
German and German-Swiss firms in
the Philippine Islands called at the
United States embassy to express hopes
that America would not relinquish
the islands and would not return them
to Spain, which the delegation claimed
would mean a recurrence of revolution,
and the perpetuation of commercial
troubles. The delegation also aaked
if it might go to Paris and lay its views
before the United States peace comniis
iion. The United Statets ambassador
here. Mi. White, advised the delega
tion not to do so.
Mr. White does not anticipate Ger
man Interference directly or indirectly,
even if the United States insists upon
retaining the whole of the archipelago.
Councillor Schwarzenley, formerly
of the Geiman embassy at Washington,
declares that Germany does not dream
of putting obstacles in America's way.
Mr. White had a long conference on
Wednesday last with the German min
ister of foreign affairs, Baron yon Bue
low.
The imperial government last win
ter, goaded by the agrarians, drew up
a bill to regulate the inspection of
American meat exports. The bill prac
tically meant the death of the AmeiJ
can meat trade, and, luckily, it could
not be made ready for production in the
reichstag before that body adjourned.
Since then, the situation has changed.
The charges against American meats
have invariably proved to be groundless
so that the violent press attacks have
ceased. The government therefore has
considerably modified the bill, which
is now much lees stringent, but some
of its provisions are still highly preju
dicial to canned meats and sausages.
It is expected that the measure will be
introduced into the reichstag soon aftei
its convening next month. The entire
right and a majority of the centrists
favor the measure, so its passage is vir
tually assured.
TWO CHILDREN KILLED.
One Wai Burned to Death, the Ochei
Run Over.
Pendleton, Or., Oct. 11.—Saturday
afternoon some children were at play
in a barn owned by Sim Hutchinson, a
farmer living near this city. Among
them was the little 3-year-old daugh
ter of Mr. Hutchinson. The children
had some matches, which they ignited.
Some straw caught fire, and this was
communicated to the barn. All the
children except the litt'e Hutchinson
girl fled. She was left at the mercy of
the flames. A neighbor, Brown by
name, rushed in and found the child
hanging by her hands to a piece oi
burning scantling. Her clothing waa
on rire. He grasped her in his arms
and rushed out into the open air,
rolled her on the ground and extin
guished the names. It was found that
her legs, back, arms and head were
frightfully burned. Drs. Cole and
Vincent were called, and succeeded in
allaying her pain. Brown, who co he
roically rescued the child, was badly
burned on his hands and arms. Today
the child died of her injuries.
Little Child Run Over.
At 12:80 P. M., today, while a west
bound train on the Washington & Co
lumbia River railroad was coming
round a curve at a point about five
miles east of this city, it ran over a 2
year-old boy, the son of D. B. Watson,
a farmer living at Mission. The child
had wandered away from home, and in
attempting to cross the railroad tracks,
got caught in a cattle guard. The en
gineer did not see the- boy until too
close to stop the train in time to pre
vent an accident. A part of the train
passed over the leg of the boy, severing
it from the body. The train was quick
ly stopped and the child picked up.
The little fellow lived only 15 minutes
after being run over.

Return of Admiral Miller.
San Francisco, Oct. 11.—Admiral
Miller, Who raised the TTnited States
flag over the Hawaiian islands, has re
turned in his flagship, the Philadel
phia. The admiral is reticent regard
ing affairs on the islands, bat regards
the situation there as satisfactory to
this government. While on a trial
oruise out of Honolulu, fire was discov
ered in the bunkers of the Philadel
phia. It was extinguished before any
damage was done.

A Balloonist1* Fall.
San Francisco, Oct 11.—Charles W.
Vosnier, an aeronaut, fell from a bal
loon at the Chutes, a pleasure resort
near Golden Gate Park, this afternoon
and received serious injuries, several
ribs, besides an arm and leg, being
broken. He made the ascent hanging
by his teeth to a strap attached to a
trapeze. His body failed to clear the
ropea and wires surrounding the
grounds, and he was thrown from a
height of about 50 feet into the street.
He will recover, unless internally in
jured.
WILL US YOUR BRAINS.
Startling Request Belnf Sent Out From
;„ CornellUnlTerßity. • : : f
Binghampton, N. V., Act. 12.—Pro
fessor B. G. Wilder, who occupies the
chaii of physiology in Cornell univer
sity, is sending out a unique document
that requests the recipient to will his
brains to the university. The circular
is being distributed among present
and former students of the university,
and has been mailed to many leading
men of the nation who are numbered
among the alumni.
In giving his reason for the strange
request, Professor Wilder says that the
advanced science of today requires a
superior article in the matter of brains
that that obtained from the oriminal,
ignorant or insane.
There are plenty of this class, but it
is next to impossible to obtain a higher
quality on account of the antipathy to
dissection entertained by all j*ltured
people. In order to solve thra prob
lem, the circulars have been prepared
and sent out.
OREGON AND IOWA.
nmodore Kant* Bar* They Will Re
main With the r&cifio Squadron.
Chicago. Oct. 12.—The Chronicle
says: Contrary to public belief, the
battle-ships Oregon and lowa, recently
ordeied to sail from New York to Hon
olulu, are not destined to reinforce
Dewey's fleet, says Commodore Albert
Kautz, the newly appointed command
er of the Paciflo squadron to succeed
Admiral Miller.
Commodore Kautz is in this city on
his way to the Pacific coast. There is,
be says, little likelihood that the ves
sels would go to Oriental waters this
year. He declared they would remain
part of the Pacific squadron.
One or more of the great sea scourges
will probably be maintained perma
nently in Hawaiian water, ready to sail
at an instant's notice to the Philip
pines, but the commodore is of the
opinion that no further reinforcements
will be necessary.
Home to Retire.
San Francisco, Oct. 12.— Rear-A
dmiral Miller, whb~will retire from the
navy October 15. says he will stop at
his old home In Ohio on his way East,
but will probably reside part of the
time in San Francisco. He warns peo
ple against going to Honolulu in the
expectation of making their fortunes.

1 Hop Crop Can't Be Moved.
Salem, Or., Oct. 12.—The hop crop
is now moving as fast as shipping fa
cilities are obtained. The crop would
be moved from the warehouses much
more rapidly were it not for a scarcity
of cars. A dealer conservatively esti
mates the entire orop of the state at
60,000 bales, which, at the average
price realized by growers, will bring
them not less than $150,000. The
same dealer estimates the quantity yet
in the hands of growers at 1,500 bales,
or one-fourth of the ciop.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
[Reported by Downing, Hopkins & Co., Inc..
Board of Trade Brokers, 711 to 714 Chamber ol
Commerce building-, Portland, Oregon.]
Early in September the price of cash
wheat at Chuagjgot almost to 60c,
and the various grades of contract to
61)£t0650. The December, now the
active future, at that time was around
600. That was on the first rush of the
new spring wheat crop. On that dip
there was some letting up in receipts
and a surprising increase in the export
demand. The development of this in
dependence on the part of growers and
of buying demand on the side of foreign
ers started an advance that carried the
September within a fortnight to 700,
advanced the cash price generally about
5c per bushel, and took the December
from 60c to 64 7-Bc. A September
shortage contributed somewhat to this
rally, but it was brought around main
ly by the foreign demand and by the
independence of the countrymen.
The advance in price changed the s't
uation again. The Western holder be
oamea seller and the foreigner lessened
his buying. The September experience,
if nothing, suggest that the general
wheat moot! just now vacillates between
60c and 700, the grower being willing
to sell very freely at the latter figure
and determined to hold at around 600,
and the consumer being willing to buy
at the lower but reluctant to take hold
at the higher figures. This experience
gives the speculator a "line" on the
market, will probably influence the
commission people to advise their cus
tomers to act on the theory that around
the 600 point wheat should be bought
and anywhere around the 70c it should
be sold. Conditions, of course, may
not in October be the same as they were
in September; the foreigner, for in
stance, may not be as willing to buy on
the breaks nor the countrymen as deter
mined to hold, and October by tradi
tion is a more bearish month than Sep
tember; bnt in a general waythewhe^t
speculator, it may be taken for granted,
will bear in mind the September ex
perience.
