London Believes Important Events
Are Transpiring.
LONDON, Feb. 13. Complete silence has
fallen over the Far East Not a word of
news is to be had here except the report
given out at the Japanese Legation of
the shelling of two Japanese merchant
vessels by four Russian warships, and the
report from Viceroy Alcxieff of the blow
'ing up of the Russian torpedo transport
Yenisei. This long silence has given rise
to the belief that Important events are
transpiring.
It is announced that the Imperial Bank
of Russia at St. Petersburg has raised the
rate of discount 1 per cent. The Russian
government has asked permission to dock
a disabled torpedo-boat destroyer at Suez,
but this request was refused, as the au
thorities at Port Said had surveyed the
destroyer and declared her fit to proceed.

believe that Japan is likely to be In posses
sion of Port Arthur a week from now. In
the best-informed Japanese circles here, it
is privately thought that the war will be
over by July. Those British officials who
are cognizant of the extraordinary thor
oughness with which Japan prepared for
the war are inclined to share the Japanese
view regarding the duration of the
struggle.

FLOCK TO FEAST
Republicans Rally to
Lincoln Banquet
HIS NAME THE LODE-STAR
Members of Mitchell Faction
Noticeable by. Absence.
MAYOR THE GUEST OF HONOR
George H. Williams Speaks on ths
Life of Abraham LIncoln-D. Solis
Cohen Responds to Toast in
Honor of Roossvelt.
A galaxy of Republican stars shone last
night in all their splendor upon the namo
of Lincoln. A dazzling cluster of lights it
was, indeed, but mostly of the Simon sys
tem. The lingers of a pair of hands would
almost number the Mitchell constellation;
all the rest shone in other orbits.
Such an aggregation of celebrities has
not been raked together for ever so Ions.
Music thrilled them all the way aown their
spinal marrow and to their toes. Oratory
moved them to shout and stamp until the
house shivered.
The gentlemen might have thought of
factional turmoil or even softly whispered
the forbidden word, but that was alL A
little dove of peace sat upon its cautionary
perch at the head of the "banquet table
and ruled all savage bosoms. Abraham
Lincoln, the immortal President, sounded
one note of eloquence; Theodore Roose
velt, the President again to be, sounded
another, and when the banquet was about
to end three mighty "cheers went up for
Roosevelt.
Yesterday was the 95th anniversary of
Lincoln's birth. The Young Men's Repub
lican Club thought it a good occasion for
assembling together the Republican aris
tocracy, regardless of factional creed, for
a feastjOf harmony. Early in the prepar
ations do in aiitchcii and Simon zealots
pulled together. But to D. Sells Cohtn
fell the. lot of responding to the toast,
"Theodora Roosevelt" Thereupon Mltch
"ell Republicans went up in the air. Few
Of- them had returned to earth Isnt -night
to jottend the feast bo few,-ln fact, that
if hey had needed a set of pallbearers
they must perforce have called upon their
Simon rivals.
An hour and a- half the gentlemen fed
upon the good things on the table; two
hourrf thev fed unon the honpv dew rils-
tilled from the lips of the orators. Mayor
George H. Williams and D. Soils Cohen
were the chief speakers; others were L. T.
Harris, Speaker of the House; T. T. Geer,
ex-Governor, G. C. Moser and W. D. Fen-
ton. Midnight eounded before the gentle
men had ended their love feast.
Maor Williams Honored.
Mitchell Republicans would have been
highly pleased with a withering frost. It
was whispered around the tables that they
had tried to hold away Mayor "Williams
from the festive board and that he had
responded: "I have lived too long to par
ticipate in factional squabbles. I shall
take to the banquet both my speech and
my aDnetlte." Simon men eraJpfnllv
brought His Honor from home and sentH
him back in a carriage so that he might
be dry shod.
It was whispered, too, that Mitchell
toilers had been more successful, how
ever, with Judge W. M. Cake than with
the Mayor, for that gentleman was con
splcuous by his absence, even though he
was scheduled to address the brethren on
"The Ladies." "They halve our sorrows,
the Judge was going to say, "double out
Joys and triple our expenses." Nobody
knew what had swallowed up Judge Cake;
somebody said he had a bad cold.
Some 150 stalwarts sat with their legs
under the tables. The place was Rath &
Sandys, at 145 First street. At the head of
the tables presided C E. Lockwood, pros
Ident of the club. On his right hand sat
Mayor "Williams, on his left ex-Governor
Geer. Other places of honor were occu
pied by L. T. Harris, "W. D. Fenton, G. C.
Moser and J. P. Kavanaugh. "
Lincoln Bust Draped With Flags.
As the orators spoke they looked Into
the face of a Lincoln bust at the further
end of the hall. The bust reposed against
a background of flags, which was stud
ded with colored lights. On the side walls
wore pictures of Roosevelt nestling in
flags and shaded with cedar sprigs. Over
the middlemost part of the hall hung a
large flag from which were draped rib
bons, in National colors.
To enumerate the conspicuous person
ages would be an endless task. Suffice it
that some were attired in dazzling shirt
fronts and long coat tails to match while
others didn't even have a shine on their
shoes. But, however dressed, they ate
and drank and clapped their hanfs and
knocked their heels together and exer
cised their larrnx all alike.
Patriarchs besides Mayor Williams, who
dignified the gathering of "young Repub
licans," were Salmon Brown, son of the
historic John Brown and H. E. Ankeny.
Both wear gray beards and sat near the
middle of the halL
The brethren enjoyed the menu all the
way from the four Toke Points to a dish
down through the red, white and blue ice
cream to the cigars. Sometimes a mandolin
and guitar duet would tickle their ears
with such as "The S tar-Spangled Ban
ner," "Dixie," "Anona" or "Comin Thro
the Rye." Once or twice four of the
singers, called the Roosevelt Quartet, sent
waves of enthusiasm through the hall.
"Down Where the Cotton Blossoms Grow"
stirred the assemblage to its profoundest
'depths of feeling. Joe Hall, Joe Dolph.
G. M. Carey and W. H. Aurelius were the
honored four. "Is that all?" sighed their j
auditors, but that was all.
Along toward 10 o'clock Toastmaster
Lockwood reared his presence above the
table. In a white vest and long-tailed
coat he bade a cordial welcome to the as
sembled guests and was ', rewarded by
tremendous applause.
"On this, the S5th birthday of our re
vered President, Abraham Lincoln," said
he, "it is fit that we meet at the banquet
board and honor his memory and' our
party's principles. Fill your glasses, gen
tlemen, and rise and join in the first
toast "The President At the United
States; long live the President," and the
toasters drank in silence.
"Especially for a second term." yelled
somebody, as the gentlemen resumed their
seats and uproar was uncorked again.
, Then the secretary of the club, H. C
Smith, performed his stunts by reading
letters of regret from President Roosevelt-
Senators Mitchell and Fulton and Repre
sentative Hermann. 'I send greeting,"
wrote the President over his own signa
ture, "and good wishes for a most sue-,
cessful occasion. I regret my inability to
be present."
Cheers for the President. .
What's the matter with Teddy?" cried
somebody.
"He's all right"
"Who's all right "
"Teddy!"
Senator - Mitchell 'appreciated-- the
courtesy," but cculd not be present; like
wise Senator Fulton, who will "never for
get the jjjasant evening I spent at your
banquet board a few years ago." Repre
sentative Hermann appreciated . "the
kind personal remembrance." The reading
of each letter touched off applause as if
by a hair trigger.
Mayor Williams Speaks.
The first speaker was Mayor Williams.
"Though the frosts of many winters may
be upon his head," announced the toast
master, "the blossoms of Spring are in
his heart I ask you to stand and drink
to the health of the honored Mayor of our
city."
When Mayor Williams arose to speak
he was received vociferously. Frequently
in his remarks he was Interrupted by
applause. The Mayor' spoke easily and
without notes. His friends said he never
appeared to better advantage. His speech
follows:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: I presume I
am the only person at there tables who bad a
personal acquaintance with Abraham Lincoln.
I knew him as early as 1S47, and was with him
a day or two before his assassination In 1S65.
Most men who have a reputation for Kreat-
nes appear to diminish In superiority as they
are approached, but the reputation of Mr. Lin
coln was not above h!a real worth, and In the
estimation of those who shared his personal
acquaintance be was all and more than they
had read. or heard about him. Mr. Lincoln
was not a prepossessing man In his appear
ance. He was tall, lank and angular In form
and his features were coarse and homely, but
-under these unhandsome exteriors, there was a
great mind and a great heart Mr. Lincoln
must have been endowed by Nature with the
Inherent elements of greatoss. Born to poverty
and obscurity, he rose with phenomenal rapid-
ltv to the very pinnacle of fame. He seemed
to have splendid literary attainments when he
became a public man, though his entire school
education did not exccd one year. His asso
ciates In early life were the uncultured sons
of Western iilotuy-rs. . Vvirr i' come Into the

BILL III FAVD
House Subcommittee to
Make Few Changes.
MEETING SET FOR TODAY
Oregon Delegation Will Ap
pear and Urge Action.
YIELDS QN SUNDAY CLOSING
Any Contest Might Reducs the Ap
propriation-Jefferson Myers Se- ,
cures the Co-Opcratlon of
Secretary Wilson.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 12. The first" meeting of the
House subcommittee on Industrial arts
and expositions will be held tomorrow
morning to consider the Lewis and Clark
Exposition bllL An effort will be made to
have the bill reported at once. With this
end in view, the Oregon delegation will ap
pear before the subcommittee and explain
that they will be entirely satisfied if the
House will accept the bill in the shape in
which it passed the Senate. It la true the
delegation is not pleased with the Sunday
closing amendment in the Senate bill, and
the committee will be so advised, but since
the passage of the bill by the Senate the
House committee has been deluged with
telegrams from ministers, church organi
zations and individuals of Portland and
elsewhere advocating a strict Sunday clos
ing. There is little aside from clippings
from The Oregonian with which the mem
bers of the delegation can offset these
telegrams, and rather than bring about a
protracted contest, they will probably con
sent to the adoption of a Sunday-closing
provision by the House, fearing a contest
might ultimately terminate In a reduction
in the appropriation.
It is the expectation of the Oregon dele
gation that lae subcommittee will recom
mend to the fuu. committee that a bill
very similar to the one passed by the Sen
ate be reported to the House. It is under
stood that a number of administrative fea
tures of the Senate bill arc to be changed;
but the hope is expVessed that the amount
appropriated will unreduced little, it-any.
The full House committee b likely to ac
cept the bill in tho shape in which it comes
from the subcommittee. ,
Myers Continues the Good Vork.
President Jefferson Myers continues his
good work in behalf of the Exposition.
Ho has been interviewing the five mem
bers of the subcommittee that will con
sider the bill tomorrow, and is not appre
hensive of unfavorable action. On the
contrary, he looks for a report recom
mending a bill essentially like the one
passed by the Senate Monday.
This morning Mr. Myers bad a long In.
tervlew with Secretary Wilson, of the Ag
ricultural Department, with a view to
enlisting his co-operation to make the
Portland Exposition a success. He was
gratified to find the Secretary well posted
as to the purpose of the Exposition and
fully, advised as to the status of the bill,
but what was more pleasing, he received
assurance from Mr. Wilson that as soon
as' the bill becomes a law he will take
steps looking to making provision for a
befitting exhibit to be made by his depart
ment. The Secretary is a great believer in ex
positions, and Is ready to do hl3 share
toward making the Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial attractive and an object lesson of
the agricultural possibilities of "the Ore
gon Country." Before he left, Mr. Myers
told the Secretary the Oregon people want
to make the Exposition grounds as attrac
tive as possible, and would probably call
on him for grass seed, bulbs and other
flowers for numerous gardens that are in
contemplation.
"That's right," said the Secretary.
"When you are ready for seed and for
bulbs and plants, write to me, and let me
know what you need, and I will send
everything I can."
These things will come, of course, from
.the large Government quota provided by
Congress for free distribution.
DENIES LAND OFFICE A CLERK.
Richards Thinks La Grande Men
Should Work Overtime.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Feb. 12. Telegraphic requests have
been received at the General Land Office
from the Register and Receiver of the La
Grande Land Office asking for an addi
tional clerk to clear up the work that
accumulated in the three months that the
office was virtually closed, because of the
suspension of Receiver Thomson. Com
missioner Richards has denied the request
on the ground that if the Register and
clerks had properly utilized the time dur
ing Thomson's suspension, all letters,
papers and other work could have been
prepared and ready for disposition as soon
as signed by tho new Receiver.
Instead, the officers, although drawing
full pay, apparently allowed the work to
accumulate. After a three months' rest
Commissioner Richards thinks it will do
them no harm to work overtime until
they catch up.
DEEMS THEM SURE OF PENSIONS
Alnsworth Predicts a List for Super
annuated Civil Employes.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. Brigadier
General F. C Alnsworth, chief of the
record and pension, office of the War De
partment, in discussing the merits of
civil service today predicted that a civil
pension list for superannuated civil em-
ploye3 of the Government is one of the
certainties of the future.
The various propositions for a retire
ment fund to be raised by assessment
which are pending before the committee,
the. general said, would only result later
in a pension fund to be provided by the
Government
The civil service commission was criti
cised regarding its promotion rules by
General Alnsworth. He said that no mat
ter what rules were promulgated, if the
commission reserved the right to amend
them that fact impaired the rule.
General Alnsworth in conclusion recom
mended the establishment of an academy
for the Instruction of persons for civil
employment analogous to the military
and naval academies.
Gunboat Rams Collier.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 12. The mall
steamer San Jose, Just arrived from South
American ports, brought the information
that the United States Navy collier isero
had been rammed by the gunboat Con
cord In the harbor at Panama. The inju
ries sustained by the collier were so seri
ous that she had to be beached. The
Concord was not injured.
DESPERATE OUTLAW KILLED.
Frank Jones Led a Gang That Ter
rorized Stockmen for Years.
HELENA; Mont, Feb. 12. Frank Jones,
a notorious outlaw, was shot and killed
by two members of a Sheriff's posse last
evening at the ranch of A. N. Tande,
north of Poplar, in the northeastern part
of the state.
Jones was the leader of a gang of des
peradoes, who for ten years have terror
ized the cattlemen and stockmen of that
valley county. Tneir headquarters were
near Bunch Willow, in a wild and diffi
cult country, near the international boun
dary line. Their raids on ranches were
frequent and daring and they carried
away thousands of head of stock, burned
ranch buildings and destroyed other prop
erty. Last December the gang kidnaped a
witness named King, who was to appear
against one of them, and held him a
prisoner for two weeks. After the time
set for trial he was turned adrift on the
prairie without food and with only a
blanket for clothing.
In January a Constable of Culbertson,
Nicholas Moore, arrested Jack Trailer,
one of the gang, near the boundary line.
The officer was bringing his prisoner to
Culbertson when Jones swooped down
upon him, rescued the prisoner, set the
horses free, took Moore's clothing and
left him on the plain.
For two weeks a posse has been in pur
suit of Jones. Last evening John Moran
and George Bird, two members of the
pursuing party, found Jones in the Tande
ranch home eating his supper. Bird lev
eled his rifle at him and commanded him
to surrender. As Jones turned, Moran also
covered him with a revolver. Jones, with
a cry that he would never surrender,
reached for his weapon, but he was shot
by both officers before he could draw his
gun.
The body was brought to Poplar and
taken thence to- Glasgow, the county seat
of "Valley County. Jones lived six hours
after he was shot, but refused to give
the names of any other members of bis
gang.
. The state offered a reward of $500 and
the, county J1000 for Jones, dead or( aliye-

-President and Mrs.
Roosevelt Call.
WASHTNGTOX, Feb. 13 (3:30 A. M.)
There are no signs of any change in Senator
Tl.inna's condition.
At 2 A. M. there was no word -from the
Senator's room, and he was supposed to
be sleeping. At midnight Senator Ifanna'a
temperature was 105. He was given a sponge
bath, and In 30 mlnntes It was reduced to
102 and a fraction. He had rested well
most of the time, awakening at Intervals
for a moment, and dropping off again.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12;-Senator Han
na is passing through the climax of his
Illness. This afternoon it was feared he
was dying, but tonight he rallied strong
ly, and there Is again some hope that he
may yet win the forlorn fight. The odds
are much against his recovery, but the
sturdy physique of the man, aided by
oxygen and powerful stimulants, brought
him through this afternoon, when he was
sinking Tepidly, aid, jtftssibly may again.
It .is naw'a qfcestfbn how long the climax
of the fever will last, and how many and
severe will be any further acute attacks,
for today's spell was so severe that an
other probably will witness the end.
Acute Attack in Form of Chill.
Today's acute attack came in the form
of a chill about 2 o'clock, and not long
afterward Senator Hanna passed into un
consciousness, not to return again until
around 6 o'clock. His pulse at this time
ran up to 130, and was so feeble it was
not perceptible at the wrist. Three hours
or so later, however, he had shaken oft
the attack to so great an extent that Dr.
Osier, the Baltimore physician in at
tendance, when he came from the sick
room at 9:33 o'clock, said there had been
a decided improvement, and the patient's
pulse was much stronger and had fallen
nearly 20 points.
Miss Mary Phelps, the Senator's niece,
was near at hand when the doctor came
from the sickroom, and when she heard
the announcement of the rally she asked:
"Thpn you have hope, doctor?"
"Hope," the doctor replied, "of course
there's hope. When a man rallies from
a sinking spell such as the Senator had
this afternoon and showed such strength,
afterward there is the best ground for
hope."
The first information from the sick
room in the Arlington Hotel today showed
the fever to have attained the highest
point yet re&ched. and the doctors looked
for the Senator's temperature to be at
its worst during the following 48 hours,
but It unexpectedly became lower as the
day wore on, and developments seemed
more favorable.
An Alarming Complication.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon, how
ever, the high fever was succeeded by a
sudden chill, which resulted In an alarm
ing complication. Powerful stimulants
were promptly applied for two and a half
hours, oxygen was applied continuously,
and later more irregularly, as its good ef
fects began to manifest themselves. At one
time during the sinking spell, the pulse
was scarcely perceptible at the wrist. Tho
Senator lapsed into unconsciousness with
the sinking spell.
Dr. Carter was alone with him at the
beginning of the attack, but Drs. Osier
and Rlxey were summoned Immediately,
and on their arrival the three worked In
cessantly with their patient until the re
action came lato In the afternoon. Be
fore the sinking spell, saline solutions
were given and strychnine in 1-30 grain
doses were administered, but much more
heroic remedies were resorted to during
the period of the acute attack.
First the World Knew.
The first Indication outside of tho sick
room that Senator Hanna had taken a
turn for the worse was when a messenger
was rushed in haste to a drugstore. It
became speedily known that he went for
oxygen. Mrs. Hanna was out driving at
the time, but when she returned she: was
promptly advised of the change that had
taken place during her brief absence, and
hurried to the bedside of her husband,
where she remained constantly throughout
the period of greatest danger. A3 the mes
senger hastened from the Tiotel for oxy
gen, Miss Phelps, the Senator's niece,
came hurriedly Into the lobby of the hotel
and summoned H. M. Hanna. a brother of
the Senator, .to the apartments upstairs.
.Concluded on Pase 5.
