1 THE MOBKIXG OBEQOXIAM. FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1903. FICHT BEEF TRUST Stockgrowers Are Planning War to the Death. GOVERNMENT IS .WITH THEM Completion of Packers' Merger trill Be Sljcnal for Criminal Charge and for Erection of Opposition Packing-Houses by Cattlemen. DENVER, April J. A meeting of great Importance to producers of livestock has been held In Denver, with representative men present from a dozen states west of the Mississippi River in response to a call made by John W. Springer, presi dent of the National Livestock Associa tion of the united States, who presented the latest Information concerning the packing-bouse merger scheme. "It was determined," said Mr. Springer, to fight the packers all along the line and to prevent. If at all possible, the con templated merger for 500.000,000. Offers were mads to organize a new line of packing-bouses under pledge from all the big cattle producers to stand by tbe new packing-house If built. "The Federal Government only waits another move to prosecute criminally the officers of the combine, as proposed, for Disobedience of tbe Injunction of the Fed eral Court at Chicago and all the states itand ready to suppress an unlawful con spiracy against Interstate commerce. "The stock producers have resolved to wage a relentless war for free markets and honest competition among packing- bouse plants In each of these markets. "It Is well known that the recent ttS. J00.000 merger of small plants was done to take cars of maturing notes the sev eral packers had given for the small con cerns, and which they did not have the ready money to pay when called by the banks of Chicago. This Is to be the open ing wedge for the I300.CO3.O00 merger." END OF SEVEN DEVILS CASE Homer People "Win Before Supreme Court. BOISE, Idaho, April 9.

Socialists Propose a Joint Debate and Name Their Man. EUGENE, Or.. April 9. (Special.) The following challenge from the Socialists to the Republicans was issued here today: "Eugene, Or.. April 9. To the Gentlemen of the Republican District Convention. Sirs: In order that the voters of Eugene and vicinity may decide as to which party best represents them, and believing that the Socialist party best represents the Interests of tho people of this Congres sional district, we hereby challenge you to discuss the respective merits of the Re publican and Socialist parties. "L. B. ItOSSMAN. "Chairman County Central Committee. "E. C COLE, "Secretary County Central Committee. "P. S. We have chosen T. E. Latimer aa our representative, and will pay one half of all expenses.

The fish ing companies, both Individual and corpor ate, of Rogue River, are making their annual preparations for the catching of salmon. Greater preparations are being made this year, however, than ever be fore. Formerly the one company that of R. D. Hume had control of the salmon buslnrw on the Rogue: but this year the Hogue mver rocking & navigation Company, of which Captain E. H. Burns Is manager, will enter the business on a large scale, and expects to get a very large share of the fish. There Is a great strife on between these two Interests on the Lower Rogue and It promises to wax hotter this season than, ever. The two now steamers of Captain Burns will be ready for service In a short time. He Has gained suaclent wharf frontage and ground to allow the landing of his boats and the erection of his packing-houses ana canneries. Each company Is busy mending fishing ooais. seinea ana nets, crews have been secured for the river and the canneries. and all made ready for the beginning of business. It seems to be the general opinion of every one on the Rogue that the whole lower country will be benefited by the entrance and operation of the two companies on the river. Roosevelt In J8S4. LA CAMAS. Wash.. April 9. To the Editor.) In The Oregonlan of April S ap pears an Inquiry from a reader, asking If Theodore Roosevelt voted against James G. Blaine In 1SS4. In the answer It Is stated that Mr. Roosevelt was so obscure then that hlo action at that time la unknown. If my reading of history la correct. Theo dora Roosevelt was a delegate-at-large to the National Republican Convention of l&M. and was a leading supporter of George F. Edmunds, and "strenuously" opposed the nomination of "The Plumed Knight." But after the nomination was made, Mr. Roosevelt refused to become a Mugwump, and gave hi earnest support to the nominee of the Republican party. It may be of Interest to note that Will lam McKlnley was a leading supporter of Blaine In the same convention, and also that Joseph B. Foraker placed John Sher man Id nomination, while ex-Secretary John D. Long performed a like service for Senator Edmunds. GLENN X. RANCK. CREVASSE OPEN AGAIN. Flood at Hymella Bursts Bounds and Work Is Abandoned. NEW ORLEANS, April 9. Hope of closing the Hymella crevasse was prac tically abandoned today. All day a ter rific current swept around the broken ends of the cribbing and through the great 700 foot gap in the levee, undermining the light piling which it had taken 13 days and nights to build. A delegation from the crevasse commis sion came to the city early today and made a purchase of piling, which will be sent forward tomorrow. It Is considered, however, that not one chance in a thou sand to close the crevasse remains. The levee board has practically reached the end of Its resources, and planters are ctlling away their hands In order to build protecting levees about their places. The Weather Bureau expresses the be lief that high water will continue In the Lower Mississippi for three weeks or longer. Tho river here today was 20.L ot Weather and Rain In Kansas. TOPBKA, Kan, April 9,-Unusually high temperatures were recorded In Kansas ; today. At Abilene SO degrees was the mark, and at Concordia 80.

April 9.-The strike of the municipal employes, like others, la only partial. About one-third of the gas workers are Idle. The authorities have appealed to the-public to restrict the con sumption of gas. A majority of the diamond-cutters and men employed In the building trades are Idle. It Is now estimated that the strikers and men locked out number 23,000. The strike situation Is unchanged to night. The city remains quiet, but the cafes and theaters are almost empty, tbe streets deserted and only partially light ed. The railway men remaining at work receive double pay. The Socialists are trying to Induce the newspaper printers to come out on strike, but so far without success. The want of organization and funds, the expected financial help from abroad not being forthcoming, threatens to paralyze the whole strike movement. Pence Proposals Rejected. THE HAGUE April 9.-AecordIng to the Vaderland. the Railroad Employes' Union has asked the state railroad companies to agree to negotiations for a settlement of the dispute and the reinstatement of the men. The officials of the state rail road. It was announced Inter i - . - .v.uavu proposal. British Political Outlook. NEW YORK. April 9.-The Easter holi day recess enables the Ministers to take account of stock, says a London dispatch to the Tribune. They have not yet re ceived assurance that the Nationalist Con vention will sanction the land purchase bill when there Is no home rule bill be hind it. If these assurances are not withheld the passage of the Irish measure will encounter little resistance, and the Ministry will gain considerable prestige. The London supplemental education bUl will be strenuously fought by the Liberals but they will have less assistance from the non-conformists than they had last year. The bill Is obviously meant to De amended In committee so that the County Council wUl have full control of educa tional administration. Mr. Chamberlain Is reported to be better pleased with the education bill than with the land bill. Both measures will have his support, since South African questions must be settled without a political dis turbance In England this year. With a favorable budget the government Is likely to pull through the session comfortsbly. Movement or Co-hlana Fleet. ' WASHINGTON. April 9.-ActIr.g Secre tary Darling today received a cable from Admiral Coghlan at Porto Cortes, say ing that he had dispatched the cruiser San Francisco to the Patuca River to look for the American prospectors recent ly reported to be In distress In that vidn ltly, and that It was his purpose to have the Olympla.

Mr. Kelly was also called for. but he had gone to his hotel. WOS WITHOUT BROWNELL. He Had Left the Hall and Returned Only at Last Moment. EUGENE. Or.. April 9. Staff corre spondence.) The Hermann people are re joicing the more heartily because they plucked victory from defeat. They went Into the convention full of confidence. Brownell announced that everything would go according to programme, and he and all others expected It to go aa planned, and there was consternation when the defeat came. Brownell with drew from the convention, taking the "programme" with him. and It was not until the Hermann people beheld the lm potency of the opposition that they re gained courage and took charge of the convention 'once more. The battle which Brownell lost was regained In his ab sence. He returned with his "programme" Just as the last vote was being taken. The anti-Hermann people had things their own way for nearly two hours, but they failed to Improve their opportunity by uniting on one of their own number. For about eight ballots, when It was In their power to nominate a man, they could not get together. Vawter held out. think ing that if he should stay in the fight Southern Oregon adherents of Hermann would swerve to him. Kelly would not yield, because he was Informed that the leaders of Lane County would turn to him after they had left Hermann. Gatcb would not withdraw,- because be had more votes than either of the two others, and therefore that duty was Incumbent on them. The opposition to Hermann failed Just as many people predicted It would do and Just as Hermann hoped, because tbe people against him could not forget their rivalries. For this reason, a nomination from their ranks was not to succeed, even though the fight that made It possible bad been successful. Will Harmony Prevail. Politicians are speculating whether more seeds of dissension In the party have been sown by Hermann's nomination. It is considered significant of possible hostility to Hermann that Kelly could not be found when Hermann had won. and that Gatch did not say that he was "satisfied" with the outcome of the contest. All Gatch promised toward "harmony" was that he would be found In the ranks doing his duty, and that he would be no laggard in the coming election. He regretted his de- feat'and confessed that he could not be sincere In saying he did not regret. Un like Vawter, he did not say, "We are all Hermann men now." Before adjourning, the convention voted to continue T. W. Harris as chairman of the Congressional committee and C B, Winn as secretary, and to retain the pres ent committeemen. The election of Brownell as chairman was a complete surprise to the anti-Hermann people. The scheme was hatched this morning and was so carefully concealed that hardly anything more than stray rumors of It got abroad. The election of Brownell was secured by a combination of Her mann with. Clackamas people. The Her mann managers thought they had all coming their way when they put through their scheme so easily. Their opponents were correspondingly depressed. When Hermann got 79 votes on .the first ballot everybody was surprised, because It was expected that he would get more. He In creased his following to 82, and on the Uth, ballot began to break. At that, Clackamas votes, some of which had been going to Hermann, shifted to Brownell. It was then that Brownell left the convention. In the same ballot Harris received one vote. Harris later received over 30 votes. and might have been elected, but for his speech In nomination of Brownell. How ever, the anti-Hermann people probably 'could have nominated him or they could have nominated Eddy. PROCEEDINGS OF-CO.XVESTIOX. Tongne Is Eulogized by Chairman T. W. Harris. EUGENE, Or., April 9. (Staff corre spondence.) The convention was called to order at 1M P. M. by T. W. Harris, chair man of the District Central Committee. The convention showed a fighting spirit from the first rap of the chairman's gaveL A band of music of the Fourth Regiment of militia strove to calm the savage breast, but It seemed only to excite .the heads' of the delegates. After the dele gates had scraped their feet on the floor and paced up and down restively. Chair man Harris cleared his throat and said: "As chairman of the District Central Committee, I welcome you here today." Dr. Harris spoke touchlngly on the mem ory of the late Mr. Tongue, and went on: "It Is a sad chapter In Oregon history that convenes you today. No man touched so universally the hearts of the people as did Mr. Tongue. In the midst of arduous duties at Washington, after having distinguished himself at home and In the councils of his country, be was stricken down. Surprise and grief filled our eyes with tears snd bowed our hearts In sorrow." Dr. Harris then referred to the honor paid Mr. Tongue's memory' as the mortal remains were borne to the grave. , "They were followed." said Dr. Harris, "by the tears. love and benediction of his fellow-cltlzens. Mr. Tongue will ever be enshrined In honored memory. We are here to nominate a man to all the office he so honorably occupied. May the mem ory of his name rally all Republicans to the support of the man who shall be the choice of this convention." Dr. Harris announced that he wia ready to receive nominations for temporary chairman. Immediately his son, L. T. Harris, of Lane, and B. L. Eddy, of Til lamook, were on their feet. The chair first recognized Harris, who nominated George C Brownell, of Clackamas. Har ris eulogized Brownell as a man who as president of the Senate "had made a rec ord for fairness and efficiency second to that of no man. He will preside over this convention with fairness and Impartial fidelity." Kay Protests Brovrnell's domination. Harris' nomination of Brownell took the convention by surprise. It was greeted by a loud yell, largely of derision. Kay of Marion Jumped to bis feet to protest sgalnst the chair's receiving the nomina tion. "He is not a member of this con vention." Insisted Kay. "He is not a member of the delegation from his county, and by the instructions of bis county con vention he cannot hold a proxy." Brownell held the -proxy of Reed, of Douglas, and Chairman Harris, in the face of a loud yell, decided In his favor against Kay's protest. Marsters of Douglas defended Brownell. saying: "Nobody has been tru er to Republican principles than has George C Brownell.- Marx tars rotoa was nearly drowned out by- cries and groans of the anti-Brown ell people, but' ne aept on Bravely until he had finished his speech. Eddy of Tillamook nominated Huston of Washington for temporary chairman. An uproar ensued about how the rota should be taken. As yet the anti-Brow-nell-anti-Hexmann people did not know about the programme which was being carried out against them. Attorney-General Crawford, of Douglas, calmed the tu mult temporarily by pleading for har mony and moving' that the delegations come forward to cast their ballots. Kuykendal of Lane moved to amend by having the chairmen of the delegations cast the votes of their respective coun ties. "No, no!" shouted the anti-Hermann people, for they suspected Jobbery. However, they thought better of It & few moments later, after being exhorted by Campbell of Clackamas and Kuykendall, and resolved to have the ballots cast by the chairmen of the counties. Auterson of Marlon. Hewitt of Linn and Love of -Douglas acted as tellers. On the count the ballot started out for Huston, but Brownell votes came In when the ballot was nearly half finished. As Brownell's 87th vote was announced, which showed his election, the convention went Into tumult. The final result was: Brownell. 98; Huston. SO. On motion of Huston the election of Brownell was made unanimous. Brownell Takes the Chair. Brownell came forward at once to re ceive the gavel The Clackamas states man's face wore a shy look of triumph. He surveyed Old Glory with a most patri otic manner, then shook hands with Dr. Harris, next took off bis overcoat and took the "slate" from the Inside pocket thereof, and finally rapped for order. "I take pleasure," said Dr. Harris. In a way that showed that pleasure to be extreme. "In presenting your chairman. Senator Brownell." Tumult was let loose again In honor of Brownell. He calmed It with a hypnotic wave of his hand, and then opeced his mouth to let out the follow ing words: "I appreciate very much the distinction my friends have conferred upon me. It is an honor" swelling up proudly "to be a Republican. It Is an honor to be one of those ordinary American citizens who votes under the American flag and votes the Republican ticket." Brownell Indulged In quite a long speech. In which be lauded to the skies the Republican party of Lin coln, Grant, Garfield, McKlnley and Roosevelt. He said be was speaking on the SSth anniversary of the day when the Rebellion was shot to pieces and Grant and Lee sheathed their swords. He drew a moral from that event by saying, as he squinted at the convention: "Let us be friends; let us have no passion here. There's nothing In bitterness; there's nothing in animosity. Let us bury ani mosity and telegraph to Roosevelt about It. and then Theodore will go out and kill a bear and be satisfied." Then Their Eyes Were Opened. On motion of Crawford. Brownell was authorized to appoint a secretary. Tak ing the "slate" out of his pocket Brown ell. addressing the convention, blandly said: "The chair will proceed to appoint according to programme," Then It dawned on the anti-Hermann people bow they bad unknowingly stumbled up against a programme. Amid a terrific uproar Brownell read from the paper he hod taken from his pocket, the names of Cosper, of Polk, for secretary, and Tom- llnson. of Benton, .for assistant secretary. When it came the. chair's duty to ap point a committee on credentials. Brown' ell said, as blandly as before. "The chair will proceed again to act In accordance with the programme,' and read off tbe committee as follows: Shelley, of Lane; Winn, of Linn; Tongue, of Washington; Emmltt, of Klamath: and Campbell, of Josephine. Tbe chair next announced the commit tee on order of business as follows: Belknap, of Benton- Brattaln, of Lake; Steams, of Douglas; Rosa, of Coos; Hurd. of Jackson, Kay, of Marion, In a humorous voice, moved that the unread part of the "programme" be adopted without any further delay. Brownell wasn't bothered In the least at the sug gestion and responded: "I think the mo tion a very proper one." The motion was carried In a storm of laughter that made the building quake. Kay's name was contained In the committee on resolutions and a big laugh ensued at his expense. Others of that committee were: Camp bell, of Clackamas; Eddy, of Tillamook; Jones, of Lincoln: and Henderson, of Yamhill. Resolutions Indorse Roosevelt. The resolutions committee reported the following resolutions, which were unani mously adopted: "Resolved, That we hereby record our high appreciation of the private worth and the public services of the late Hon. Thomas II. Tongue, Congressman from this district and we deplore his death as a loss to his state and the Nation. "Resolved, That we recognize Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, as a stalwart type of American citizen ship, worthy of these, the best days of the Republic and we heartily Indorse bis position upon the great public questions of the day and his administration, and be It resolved further, that he be. extended the hospitalities of this state upon the oc casion of his proposed visit. "Resolved, That we do hereby indorse and reaffirm the platform of the last Ore gon State Republican Convention. 'Resolved, That the Republican party of this Congressional district favors and will earnestly labor for the improvement of our rivers and harbors by tbe National Government." The convention following the approved order of business proceeded to the choice of a nominee. On motion of Crawford the chair appointed tellers as fol lows: Benson, of Douglas; Tongue, of Washington; Snyder, of Marion; Brown, of Linn; and Wagner, of Jackson, 'Are there any objections r asked Brownell. courteously. "The chair wishes to be fair;" as If to answer the laugh that greeted this announcement, he con tinued: 'The chair Is absolutely sin cere. If there lsj any objection to any teller he win be changed." Nobody ob jected. Kay. of Marion, nominated Claud Gatch, the candidate of his county. He pleaded that a young man should be sent to Washington who could be re turned for "Many successive terms." Favorite Sons Presented. The name of Vawter, Jackson's favor ite son, was presented by Newburg. of that county. Newburg made an eloquent speech In which he urged that Southern Oregon should be honored with a Con gressman. He eulogized Vawter as a native son of Oregon who was young and strong and vigorous, and who had always been a Republican, In Southern Oregon Vawter was regarded as a business man and as a lawyer who had no superior. In tbe dark days of Populism and free silver he had steadfastly advocated the gold, standard and Republican principles. Then came Hermann s time to be, Domi nated. Brownell called Huston to the chair, and In an Instant everybody guessed that the Clackamas statesman, was going to nominate Hermann. Yester day and last night Brownell had denied that he Intended to nominate Hermann. Brownell at first lamented that dis repute Into which the profession of poll tics had fallen. Then he argued that Hermann should be nominated because of the ex-Land Commissioner's experi ence In politics and legislation. Brownell dwelt on Oregon's need of appropriations from Congress, and said that Hermann was the best man to send to Washing ton to appeal for appropriations. "A man,! said Brownell, "appointed by President McKlnley as Commissioner of the General Land Office Is a good man to represent Oregon In Congress." Kelly, of Linn, was nominated by Hewitt, who made an effective speech for his candidate. Committees Open for Hermann. Brown, of Douglas, seconded the nomi nation of Hermann. "Nominate him."' said Brown, "and the people will do the rest by electing htm." Brown read a telegram from Cannon, wbo wilt be Speaker of the next House of Congress, and who saldt "I do not wish to make up my committees until I hear from you." ' Tooze, of Marion, eloquently seconded the nomination of Gatch. "Our man Is not a mossback. but a native son of Ore gon," said he, looking hard at Brownell. who. In his nomination of Hermann; had said that, "mosabacklsm should be shot to pieces." Tooze referred to . Gatcb's conduct In the financial fallacies of 1898. when Gatch proved himself a leader of sound doctrine. Belknap, of Benton, spoke for Hermann. ana then the balloting began. LIST OF DELEGATES.
