R. & N. Will Bridge the Columbia at The Dalles and Build to the Sound One portion of the Hill-Harriman agreement has not yet been fixed up, and that is the giving of trackage privileges to the Northern Pacific from Wallula to Portland and extending the same courtesy to Harriman from Portland to the sound, says the Port land Telegram. Autorities well-informed in that con nection declare that, while Hill will grant Harriman permission to haul his rolling stock over the Portland-Puget sound division, the former refuses to accede to the request of Hill for track age down the Columbia. That the Northern Pacific has not entirely abandoned its intention to construct a road to Portland along the north banU of the river is evident from the fact negotiations for a right of way con tinue, and it is said Hill has even pur chased entire farms to further his needs in that direction. this would be stopped if Harriman would l<?t the Northern Pacific enjoy the easy haul from Walla Walla over the O. R. & N. O. R. & N. Surveyors Busy. That the presence of a party of O. R. & NT. surveyors at a point on the Washington side of the stream between Bonneville and the locks, is of more significance than the mere fact lines are being run in connection with pre paring statements for the payment of taxes is generally believed. In the first place the taxation Washington imposes on the useless strip of land extending along the Columbia at that place is so low that the cost of making the present survey would pay the assessment for more than ten years. Under the laws of the state a railroad is entitled to a right of way 100 feet in width. By pur chasing more land, Harriman can blast out the rocks for a sufficient dis tance inland to prevent Hill from ever coming down the river, as he would be compelled to build on the high ground, and from there could not find a prac ticable descent to the low country for an entrance to Portland. Roads Are Jockeying The fact that the Columbia River & Northern made a surcvey from Lyle along the river to what was formerly known as Hellgate. but is now called Grand Dalles, where a crossing can be made at comparatively small expense and little labor, leads to the introduc tion of a story that Harriman is pre paring, in the event the Hill line to the sound cannot be used, to extend the Tacoma eastern from its present terminus south to the Columbia, con necting with the old portage road right of way and continuing on to the crossing, and there affecting a junc tion with the main line on the Oregon side. Harriman wants a northern route badly, and it is thought now that his threat to connect at Olympia with the projected independent line was but a ruse, and he will use the Tacoma con nection if forced to by reason of Hill's determination to return tit for tat in the failure to make amicable trackage adjustments. METCALF LIKELY TO RESIGN. Secretary of Commerce and Labor Is Displeased by President WASHINGTON, July 3.—Now it is asserted that Secretary Metcalf of the department of commerce and labor will when the summer wanes, throw up his job as cabinet officer —all on account of the summary directions that were given him by the president, by reason of which the secretary was compelled to issue orders to his subordinates that they must deal leniently with "John Chinaman." It is asserted that Mr. Metcalf did not issue the order without showing the president plainly that he did not wish to do so because he felt that the situation was one that should be dealt with another way than that decided upon by the president. Secretary Metcalf comes from the state of California. He feels as does every Californian on the Chinese ex clusion problem. He is probably the best equipped man in the cabinet to talk on this subject, for he knows the dangers that underlie the Roosevelt MALARIA Is poison germs in the blood.

What is galling to Metcalf, beyond the president's attitude, is the fact that the matter should have been as signed to Secretary Taft for quasi ad ministrative advice. Taft took the po sition that Metcalf, being a Califor nian, was therefore prejudiced against the Chinese beyond the point where his advice could be accepted as safe and sane. That Taft should have sat in judgment, so to speak, upon another member of the cabinet, is very un usual, except in the Roosevelt admin istration, and the general opinion in Washington is that in permitting this "faux pas" to occur, the president has been guilty of at least discourtesy to his secretary of commerce and labor, whose business it is to be an expert on the questions arising under his juris diction. For these things, Metcalf was very near tendering his resignation to the president the moment that he was or dered to promulgate the orders of June 24. His friends, it is asserted, kept him from resigning, but that they will finally dissuade him is very doubtful. Of course, he will not discuss the sub ject lest his talf be considered an in sult to the president. Provocative of Trouble The order to the subordinates that they shall accept a certificate as bona fide from every Chinese that presents one, without any unusual tests to find out if the person described in it is one to whom it was issued, will be provo cative of grave troubles, for it is but a bid to venality on the part of the diplomatic agents—an open door to wrongdoing by persons who, accord ing to the president's letter of June 24, had been very lax in their duties in the very matter in which he says they should be more attentive. The best of the situation is the at titude of the Chinese legation towards the president's note. They are happy over it. They say it will perhaps make the Chinese government feel more friendly towards the merchants of the United States. Why the merchants? That they feel so pleased is due to the fact that they know with the law loosely construed on this side of the Pacific and the certificates issued by men who are virtually accused of hav ing jjut their cupidity above their pa triotism and duty on the other side. China need have no fears as to the out come so far as "John Chinaman" is concerned. The Chinese know that by appealing to the cupidity of the Amer ican merchants and threatening a boy cott upon American goods, they would raise a howl through a section of the United States, and the political wires would be pulled vigorously. This was done, and the result, that what the Chinese most prayed for —a letting down oX the bars —lias been done. OVER HALF OF CHURCH INCOMZ "Tainted Money" Man Gives 75 Cents for Every Dollar Collected CLEVELAND, July 3.—When Jonn D. Rockefeller reaches for that yellow wrappered roll in his left hand hip pocket, digs into the middle of it, ex humes a $5 note and deposits it in the plate at Euclid Avenue Baptist church he taxes himself $3.75 besides giving up the $5. The fiscal arrangements existing between Rockefeller and his Cleveland church stipulate that for every dollar of income received by the church through collections or other sources Rockefeller shall give 75 cents. This plan means that approximately 43 per cent of the cost of maintaining the church and its various institutions and benevolences falls on Rockefeller. The revenue of th church last year was nearly $35,000 of which about $17,- --000 was spent in the support of the foreign missions and other benevo lences. The other half went to the support of the church itself. American Exhibitors.

EDUCATORS AT ASBURY PARK TWO THOUSAND DELEGATES ARE GATHERED FOR THE NA TIONAL CONVENTION Annual Address Will Be Delivered by Superintendent Maxwell of New York City. ASBURY" PARK, N. J., July 3.—The twin resorts, Asbury Park and Ocean Grove, have today within their gates 20,000 or more delegates to the forty fourth annual convention of the Na tional Educational association. It is expected there will be 25,000 here when all the delegates arrive. Every state and territory of the Union is represented among the visitors. Though the east is naturally the most largely represented section there are good-sized delegations on hand from the Central states, while the Rocky montain and Pacific coast regions have representations far exceeding the ear ly expectations. The proximity of New York city and other large cities to which side trips will be made after the convention has concluded its business is regarded as responsible in a meas ure for the unusually, large attend ance. The meetings today were confined to the national council of education, the department of Indian education and other side conferences. The national officers and committees, under the gen. eral direction of Secretary Irwin M. Shepard, were up to their ears in the work of completing final details of the convention arrangements. As fast as the delegates arrive they are escorted to headquarters, where they were reg istered, given badges and assigned to quarters.
