3 rilE MORIG OREGONIAX, TUESDAY, 3IAY 15, 1JX6. BROUGHT VICTORY OUT OF DEFEAT President's Shrewd Move on Rate Bill Foiled All His Enemies. DEMOCRATS ARE ANGRY Tillman and Bailey Hoped to Steal Kepublican Glory, but Roose velt Reunited. "Own Party and Beat Aldricli. OREGONTAK "NEWS BUR E At", Wash ington, May J 4. Republican Senators, iiixl secretly a great many Democrats, today admit that President Roosevelt is far and away the shrewdest politi cian now before the American public. Jits wonderful achievement In turning threatened defeat on the railroad rate liill into an overwhelming party vic tory nan secured him that just recogni tion. The attacks being made upon the President by Tillman, Bailey and Chan dler are all the result of the President's woiidcrful management of this rate campaign. The Democratic leaders are Hicusing the President of refusing to carry out a deal he is alleged to have made with them to put through a rate bill tint would meet his approval. Yet these very leaders were playing politics when they lined up with tiie President to overthrow Aldrich and his lieuten ants. Had It been in, their power to liefat Aldrich without the aid of the President, they would not have luxsl tated a moment to gather In what glory would attach to such an accomplish ment, but the tables were turned. Played Game and Won. It happened that the President was adroit enough to play this game of politics so that he was able to reunite his own party and pass a satisfactory rate bill without the aid of Democratic votes. He has done to the Democrats Just what Bailey, Tillman and Chandler would have done to him, had they been able. This aliened compact between the Presi dent and the Senate Democrats was no state alliance: It was pure politics on bni h sides. The Democrats wanted to support the President, not because they were anxious to aid him, but because they hoped to reap political benertt from standing out against Aldrich. The Presi dent welcomed Democratic votes, because h too. wanted to overwhelm Aldrich. xnd for the time it appeared that It would take the Democrats to accomplish this ;ncl. lulled His Own Party. Hut in his own way the President, with the aid of Senator Allison, Senator Fulton and a few others, brought about a situa tion whereby practically all the Repub licans stood together, and Aldrich was de feared by Republican votes. The Democrats still have an opportunity to stand In and vote with the Senators who have all along been upholding the President, but there Is no longer any slory or any political .capital In It for them, and they are angry. This present hostility between the President and the leading Senate Democrats all grows out nf the fact that these men played pol itics with Theodore Roosevelt and he proved himself a better politician than all of them combined. HKVBl RV SLIGHTLY BETTEK Rallies anil Rests Better Than Ever After Sinking Spell. ORKGON1AN NEWS BUR BAT, Wash ington. May 14. Senator Heyburn was reported slightly better today, but has yet shown no marked improvement.

NEVER PLEDGED TO ANY (Continued From Pater l- en ferrnofd which I hart by your direction iith SnTprs Tillman and Bailey upon the ub.iot of the oomt review .feature of the pending rftt legislation. On April 14 you told m that' Messrs. Till man and Bailey had communicated with nu throujfh a third person, informing you that they were w tiling to support an amend ment to the Hepburn bill which, while ex prensiy conferring Jurisdiction upon the emirtfi to review the action of the .ommis mon. should tlmtt the review to the two ques tions of the authority-, of the Commission and the constitutionality of Its action and tin hide a provision forbidding the issuance of Interlocutory Injunctions. You told me that they ere not willing to confer directly tth you. but would meet me. m You asked ma it I thought that Congress had the power to prohibit the Issuance of interlocutory injunctions by courts inferior to the Supreme Court, and I told you that. h ing road part only of the debate upon the question, the subject being new to me. I had not formed a final opinion.. You then ukt'd' me whether, if such a provision were tec 'a red unconstitutional. It would affect other provisions of the law. I told you that in my opinion It ould not. as that pro- Imoii would he easily separable from . the remainder of the law. HecaJUng the advloe which I had the honor to offer to you. that you should nov t any stage become finally committed be yond recall to any form of language in any pat t of the bill and affirming your belief In ih. tdoin of that course, you then said that a provision limiting the court review to the authoritv of the Commission and the constitutionality of its acta and a provision II tni ting the issuance of Interlocutory in junction a far a.- was constitutionally pos sible would be acceptable to you. provided It was decided not to be possible to try to pass the Hepburn Ml) substantially un changed and you asked me to meet the gentlemen named in conference. Mated President's Position. The conference was arranged by Mr. Chandler and occurred on April 15. It was full and free. It wmild be impossible to state ail that was said In a conference of two hours, but I think no false color I given t the mnferenre by the foiirtwiiTfc statement: I informed the gentlemen of mv beite? that ion riesired. ir the scope of the court review aara to he xprssd la the law at all. that It should be lirnlted to the, two sub ject hereinbefore named; that, in aucn case the so-called Long amendment was accep table to you; that you would be glad to see a rigid limitation on the issuance of inter locutory Injunctions if such limitations were possible; and I stated further that I would not assume to agree to any form of language whatever for you. but wouid submit any proposed amendment to you for your con sideration. I also stated my doubt whether in any event it would be possible to enat a provision entirely forbidding Interlocutory injunction. I found myself 4n entire accord with Senator Bailey as to the rules of con stitutional law applicable to the situation, with the exception of those relating to the power of Congress to forbid all interlocutory injunctions, upon which I did not offer any final opinion, only saying that Mr. Bailey's argument needed an answer. An attempt was then made to adopt the phraseology which would effect the intention of the two Senators. I made some notes upon this branch of the subject and, at the close of the interview said to Senator Bailey that I would put my understanding of their views upon the question of phraseology In writing, send It to him. and, if it met with approval, submit It to you. This I did and on the next day sent the annexed memorandum to Mr. Bailey, inclosed In a letter which read as follows: "April 16. IftOfl. My Dear Senator: This rousrh draft Is as I understand your sug gestions of yesterday.- 1 think it Quite like ly that this draft might be bettered, but I simply send It to -e if I understand you- Very truly yours. W. H. MOODY. ' "Joseph W. Bailey, United States Senate." The draft referred to is the one printed In last Saturday's Record. Democrats Could Net Agree. The conference between the Democratic members of the Senate then occurred, the press reports ot which indicated that there was not an entire agreement among them. Mr. Tillman, however, called to assure me that the prospect of an agreement among a large number of the Democratic Senators was good. I heard nothing further from Kenator Bai4ey until a later d-ate. I In formed you of what occurred at the inter view between the two Senators and me. and you told me that you had been informed from Aarlous Democratic sourcea that an agreement among the. Democrats upon any amendment would be Impossible. The two Senators called upon me again on the 2Sd or 24th of April. There was some further talk about the form of th amendment. The suggestion w-as made that it might be possible, after voting upon the provlslun forbidding all interlocutory in junctions, to agree upon an -amendment which rhould Include the Long amendment and what is known as the Overman amend ment. I then said tharMn my opinion any amendment drawn by any one representing the executive hrach of the Government, even though It were inspired from Heaven, would not be accepted without charfge by the Sen ate: that that attitude was natural and proper, and that, if the exact language of any amendment could be agreed upon, it ought to be d r a v n by the Sena tors them selves. I suggested Senator Allison as a proper person for further conference, and the matter, so far as I was concerned, ended there, l remember hearing nothing more of tt until I was Just about taking the train for New York on May 4. when I was in formed by Mr. Tillman and Mr. Chandler that you had approved another amendment known as the Allison amendment. There was nothing in the conversations between the Senators and me which In any way bound you to any particular amend ment or in the slightest degree impaired your liberty at any time to acquiesce in any amendment which you should deem ex pedient and In th public Interest.

Frank Hattabough, who is alleged to be the kidnaper of the Rapp youngster, is a bootblack, of an adventurous disposition, and told a number of persons he was go ing to San Francisco. "Babe" Rapp is naturally a timid child, but must have been tempted into adventure by the older boy's romances of life on the road. Removal of Valencia Victims. SEATTLE. Wash.. Ma.f 14.-Captain B. .

WITTE TO FRONT AGAIN (Continued From Page l. when he ordered the soldiers to Are on a profession of Socialists, causing the death of 30 persons. . - NEW CRISIS CONFRONTS CZAR Even t'pper House May Join in De mand for Amnesty. ST. PETERSBURG. May A crisis over the question of granting amnesty already confronts the Emperor, who will be compelled to yield or accept the gauge of battle. Almost every family in Russia contains a member of rela tive who has suffered or is now suffering for his political opinions and their de mand for the release of all political of fenders has fired the Imagination of the country. The Radicals in the lower House of Parliament insist that a de mand for amnesty should be presented to the Emperor as an ultimatum. This the moderate leaders of the Constitu tional Democrats have thus far succeed ed in preventing, but, if the tide con tinues to rise, they must bow to the will of the radicals or their leadership will be swept away. It is extremely significant that a strong fartion in the upper House of Parlia ment is advocating the necessity for meeting the popular demands. The mem bers yesterday and today, in conference under the presidency of Prince Eugene Six Weeks of Piano Selling' at Practically Wholesale Cost Retiring from business the cause. As previously -stated, we Tiave disposed of our business to the Sherman, Clay & o.', of San Francisco, who were to have taken charge the first of this month, but owing to the San Francisco disaster it has been postponed till the first of July. All the large stock of fine pianos specially se lected by them for their opening is now offered by us at such prices that are sure to command a big ' trade. As a protection to our suc cessors for future trade we will not name in print the price wo will make at this time on a Knabe. Everett. Fischer, Hard man. Ludwig op other pianos wo handle, but you will be satisfied with the- price. We say most em phatically that no combination of circumstances will permit any one selling pianos on as close a margin of profit as we are doing, and that an impartial investigation Into piano prices will demonstrate this fact. A large stock of used and second-hand pianos are offered from $50 up. If you can't find what you want at our store you will be hard to please. Easy payments on all. j Allen & Gilbert- Ramaker Co. Corner Sixth and Morrison Troubetskoy-. discussed this policy. By A large majority and against the pro test of the reactionists under Prince Kassatkine Rostkovski, it was decided to also make a reply to the speech from the throne at the opening of Parlia ment. Count Witte Immediately aligned himself with the Liberals. In a speech which made a deep impression he ad vocated the justice and necessity of am nesty for political prisoners. He favored, however, a compromise, declaring it would be folly to open the doors of the prisons to all. Amnesty should be re stricted to those who are not guilty of political murder or robbery. "If the prisons are opened," he ob served sententlously, "my. advice to peo ple with property is to gather up what they can and get out of the country as soon, as possible." Count Witte Indicates that he intends to make a bold bid for the Liberal lead ership in the lower House. M. Shipoff, of Moscow, the natural leader of the Progressive element of the upper House, wanted the reply to the speech from the throne to go further and Include a demand for the revision of the fundamental law, but the majority thought that action in this direction should be initiated by the lower House. The utterances of Interior Minister Stoiypln and M- von Scwanebach, Con troller of the Empire, the only two Min isters present, were quite liberal In tone, recognizing the necessity for the Govern ment's meeting the new conditions. The former's remarks, including the words "the imperative necessity for the reform of local administration," were especially gratifying. WOK UMAX KILLS OPPRESSOR Admiral Kuzemich Stabbed for Op posing May-Day Demonstration. ST. PETERSBURG, May 14. Vice-Ad-miral Kuzmich, commander of the port, who was very unpopular with the work men, was assassinated here today by laborers whose May-day demonstration be had attempted to stop. The Admiral was killed at the New Admiralty Works, a government Institu tion. When most of the 2000 men em ployed there r ported for duty at 5 o'clock this morning, they wanted imme diately to march out In a body and cele brate the Russian May day, but finally agreed to work until 2 o'clock In the after noon. The Admiral, however, made a speech to the men. saying that he could not agree to their leaving work at 2 o'clock, and the matter was left open. At about 9:30 A. M.. according to an officer who was at the gate of the works, the Admiral was emerging from a small shop in the works, when a workman wno had been concealed around the corner of the building, leaped on Kuzmich from behind and drove a long dagger Into his back. The' Admiral fell forward on his face, which was thereby badly cut by stonest and died Immediately. The assassin fled into a large forge, wheVe he was lost among the men em ployed there. The works were promptly surrounded by troops and police, but the search for the murderer was unavailing, his comrades professing ignorance of his identity. The police say It is evident that the assassination of the Admiral had been planned in advance. The dagger, which was found on the spot, was concealed in a round, stick-like sword cane. Among the workmen are many former sailors and revolutionists. Kuzmich had a bad reputation among the workmen, being regarded as hard and despotic. Admiral Kuzmich participated in the Russo-Turktsh war, and in 1902 was sec ond flag officer of the Port Arthur fleet. He returned to St. Petersburg In 1903, and was appointed Commander of the Port. Politically, he was a reactionist. Troops Guard Moscow Streets. MOSCOW. May 14. As a precaution against disorders on May day.
