TEXAN BREAKS OUT
Scathing Denunciation of the
House Machine.
VOLUME ' OF ADJECTIVES
Kandall Tells Wrongs of Territories.
Senate Debates Immigration Bill.
Programme for Action on
the Kate Bill.
WASHINGTON. May 22. The so-called
Republican "machine was the subject
of a scathing; denunciation in the House
of Representatives today at the hands of
Randall, of Texas, who said that the
leaders of the House- who constitute and
run the 'machine" had done absolutely
nothing- except to make hypocritical pre
tense as to some things and to unblush-Ing-ly
advocated "the standpat" doctrine
in other thlnjrs.
"The completeness with, which the Re
publican party has deserted the people's
Interests is apparent in its treament of
questions before the Congress," said Ran
dall. He said the attitude of the Re
publican party toward tne Territories Is
another proof that it is unworthy to rule.
"The sisterhood of States." he said,
"should make common cause In rebuking
the cruel and outrafceous crime com
mitted by the Republican party. Impelled
by fear, the machine may yet admit one
State, but the people will understand
their motive and should not stay the
hand of retribution.
"These machine leaders have been and
are deceiving the great mass of voters
who put them in power. The rank and
file of the Republican party wants Justice
and. if only they would examine tne
record of their Representatives, the
avenging hand of an outraged consti
tuency would strike dow;n tnese stand
pat statesmen and have a new deal as
well as a square one.
PUNISHMENT FITS THE CHIME
Consuls 'Who Concealed Fees Suffer
in Itevislon of Salaries.
WASHINGTON. May 22. One of the
unexpected results of the consular re
organization act now being placed in
operation Is the discomfiture of some
consular officers who have been con
cealing the actual amount of the unof
ficial fees of their offices. The practice
was not dishonest in one sense, for the
Consuls are in many cases permitted to
retain all suoh fees. But for the sake
of the records of the Department and in
order to enable the officials to know the
state of the business of the consulates,
it was required that all such fees should
be accounted for. ....
Some Consuls feared that to publish
the amount of such fees they received
would be to make their offices too at
tractive to office-seekers, so they failed
to make the full returns. Their punish
ment came when Congress passed the re
organization act on the basis of substitu
tion of lump salaries for the combined
salary and fee system of compensation.
There was no intention of reducing the
compensation of many of the Consuls,
but if hns naturally followed that the
Consuls who failed to return their full
fees have suffered a substantial reduc
tion. M'tTMBEIl ANSWERS ROAST
Denies Ills Amendments Made Kate
Bill Ineffective.
WASHINGTON. May 22. The Senate
today devoted the greater part of the
stssion to consideration of the immigra
tion hill, but before it was taken up Mc
Cumher made a personal statement, con
tradicting an article printed in the New
York Tribune that the railroad-rate bill
had been so amended at his Instance a
to render it ineffective.
Previous to that time also the Senate
adopted a resolution directing tne com
mittee on privileges and elections to con-side.-
the course to be pursued In the
case of Kurton.
Speeches on the immigration bill were
made by Dillingham. . McCrcary,. Bacon,
Scott, latterson and others. The bill

HonsRules Committee Provides for
Vote on Kate Bill.
WASHINGTON. May 22. The House to
morrow will be given an opportunity to
vole for a resolution from the committee
on rules to send the railroad rate bill to
conference. The resolution was intro
duced Just before the House adjourned
by Representative Hepburn, chairman of
the interstate commerce and foreign com
mittee. t'niler the terms of this special rule,
the Houre will not be given an opportunity
to vote on a motion to accept any one of
the Senate amendments, or do otherwise
than to support or object to a motion to
nonconcur in them "In gross." As this
procedure follows the conference of both
.Democratic and Republican members of
the committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, held last night, it is possible
that there will be no opposition to the
resolution.
RAISE POST TCI AX" EMBASSY
Knox's Plan to BrlHg Sultan Quickly
to Terms.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-Senator Knox
today gave notice of an .amendment to
the diplomatic and consular appropria
tion bill to raise the diplomatic post at
Constantinople from a legation to an
mbassy. Under the regulations of the
Sublime Porte, Ambassadors are the only
diplomatic representatives permitted to
seek an audience with tho Sultan, and
therefore the United States has been
handicaprd In Its negotiations with Tur
key, tl Is to correct this that Mr. Knox
has proposed his amendment.
MILD FILIBUSTER IX HOUSE
Williams and Gardner Obstruct Di
plomatic Bill in Vain.
WASHINGTON. May 22,-For an hour
or more today, the House of Representa
tives could not decide whether to go into
committee of the whole on the diplomatic
and consular bill, or to follow the lead of
Gardner of Massachusetts to take up con
sideration of the Immigration bill.
Assisted by Williams, the minority lead
er. Gardner led a mild filibuster against
taking up the diplomatic bill, and en
deavored to delay matters by raising a
number of parliamentary points. The Re
publicans, however, had a quorum pres
ent, and eventually the diplomatic bill
vas taken up and general debate began
and continued till 5 o'clock.
The Senate bill authorizing the rtm
fctructiun of a dam across the I'end
d'Oreille River in the State of Washing
ton was passed.
Readjust Philippine Coinage.
WASHINGTON. May 22. Senator
Lodge today introduced a bill at the re
quest of Secretary Taft for a readjust
ment of the ratio of the Philippine coin
age and for an Increase in the elasticity
of the present system. The bill is framed
upon the recommendations of the Philip
pine Commission contained In-the annual
report and In brief authorizes the Com
mission, with the consent of the Presi
dent, to change the weight and fineness
of the silver peso and to recoin the ex
isting peso so as to adjust it to the
change. At present the silver in a peso
is worth more for bullion than the coin
age value.
Pessimist on Eight-Hour Law.'
WASHINGTON. May 22. A. C. Hayden.
representing the Carnegie Steel Company,
discussed the eight-hour bill today before
the House committee on labor. He said
the enactment of the measure would drive
every large institution now taking Gov
ernment contracts from that field, would
turn over the manufacture of the supplies
of the Government to the small contractor
and would increase the cost of the same
to the Government from 12H to 25 per cent.
The Carnegie Company, he said, at one
time made the experiment of changing its
factory method from two shifts of men
working 12 hours each to three shifts
working eight hours. The result was that
the product of the- factory decreased 20
per cent.
Maharajah Goes to Washington.
WASHINGTON. May 22. The Mahara

tory, Let New Mexico and
Arizona Vote on Vnion.
WASHINGTON. May 22. An agree
ment on the statehood bill will be em
bodied in a conference report which will
be reached this week, according to iiv
formatlon today. What the terms of this
agreement will be cannot be stated with
preciseness, as the report has not yet
been drafted. The plans which seem -to
be acceptable to botn sides, however, are:
That Oklahoma and Indian Territory
shall be admitted as one state at once;
that Arizona and New Mexico shall be
allowed to vote separated on the ques
tion of being jojned In one state: that
the vote shall be cast at a regular terri

What theState Papers AreSaying About theCampaign
Made a Good Impression.
Heppner Gazette.
Dr. AVtthycombe's appearance in
Heppner has left a good impression
with Morrow County people. It is
plainly evident that he Is a man of
good, sound and safe judgment, witn
exalted ideas of government and citi-
j zenship.
Voting the Strnlnht Ticket.
Medford Tribune.
Events in the political arena during
the past few days have shown that the
Republican party will sweep the state
and that a majority of the county tick
et will, in all probability, be elected.
Voters have generally expressed their
intention of voting for their own
ticket,' more than In former years.
Desperate Straits of Opposition.
Klamath Republican.
The Democrats are certainly hard
pressed for campaign ammunition when
they are compelled to raise the ques
tion of how long Dr. Withycombe has
been a citizen. A man must have a
clean record when bis opponents have
to resort to such met nods. A good citi
zen makes a good official, and Withy
combe's record speaks for Itself.
Strong; ftrptibllcuu Sentiment.
Albany Herald.
With an enthusiasm never before
equalled in the state except in National
campaigns the people are attending
the meetings, and Republican sentiment
is stronger than for many years. The
standing of the men on the ticket,
headed by Dr. Withycombe is such as
to merit the entire confidence of the
people of the s,tiitq..anu; this confidence
is not lacking.
AYhere ' IloOMevelt Stnnds.
Iakevlew Examiner.
It has been claimed by the Demo
cratic press of the state that President
Roosevelt desired the re-election of
Chamberlain, but when the President
was Informed of the free use of his re
lations with Chamberlain, he denied
emphatically that he ever said, or Inti
mated such a tiling, so that the "Chamberlain-Roosevelt"
adherents. . have
learned that something more than a
hyDhen separates the policies of the
Democratic Governor and the Republi
can President.
No Doubt of Complete Success.
Baker City Herald.
The Democratic party in Oregon is
without platform and without princi
ples. All they want is the Democratic
prestige and Democratic patronage
which comes with the success of their
ticket. We are already suffering from
this Democratic prestige and patron
age. We have too many Democrats Jn
high places and cannot work in har
mony with President Roosevelt. But
this is the year of redemption and with
such a strong ticket in the field, and
perfect harmony prevailing in the Re
publican party, there is no doubt, can
be no doubt, of the ultimate success of
the entire ticket.
Dom With Ross Rule!
Freewater Times.
The past history of the political par
lies in Oregon has been the history of
some political "boss" backed by a
clique or ring. But In the coming elec
tion the Republican voters will have
an opportunity to cast a vote for the
men of tneir own choice, and as each
candidate has won out after a cLean
and honorable primary campaign before
the people, so. the Republican ticket
should receive the solid Republican
vote of ccuuty or state. This con iiardly
AMNESTY DAY SET
Czar Will Release Prisoners
Next Sunday.
HE EXCEPTS TERRORISTS
Democrats Will Accept Concession
Grudgingly Many Prisoners Are
" Liberated In Advance Pre
mier to Address Douma.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 23 The
long-awaited political amnesty will,
the Associated Press lerns from a gov
ernment source, be proclaimed May 27,
the anniversary of the coronation of
Emperor Nicholas II. The exact scope of
the measure has not as yet been de
termined. It will, as anticipated, be
limited, but the Associated Press is in
a position to state that the Constitu
tional Democratic party is prepared,
though, grudgingly, to accept the act
of grace from which the terrorists are
excluded, recognizing, though not pub
licly, that the government is not alto
gether unjustified in refusing to set at
large men who will be as ready as
they have been in the past to shoot
down or blow to pieces hated repre
sentatives of authority.
Terrorists Give Xo Quarter.
Their demand for unlimited amnesty
was based on the expectation that with
the institution of a full constitutional
era the terrorists, as'was promised in
an open letter just before the assassin
ation of Alexander II, would abandon
active operations, but they have been
forced to ndmit that tho crimes of the
Inst few days give the government no
guarantee that the promise will be
kept.
The admlnistrat'on is dally cutting
down the number of prisoners who may
be affected by the amnesty, releasing,
convicts by hundreds in the prov
inces, while among those released in
St. Petersburg are 27 members of the
Council of Workmen's Delegates, who
drew up the famous manifesto preach
ing a raid on the government's gold
reserve.
Premier Will Speak Friday.
Premier Goremykln has been sum
moned to Peterhof tomorrow for a
conference with Emperor Nicholas to
put the final touches to the speech
which 'Ahe Premier will deliver, unless
unforeseen contingencies prevent, in
the lower house of Parliament Friday,
setting frrth the government's position
on the various points in the House's
reply to the speech from the throne.
The Premier, Minister of the Interior
Stolypln and Minister of Agriculture
Stlchinsky have been making inquiries
with regard to the form of procedure
to be observed in the lower house in
the matter of answering interpella
tions and also as to the rights of min
isters to participate In general debate,
M. Stolypln especially wishing to speak
on -the agrarian question, if permitted.
Czar's Trappings in Museum.
MOSCOW. May 22. The robes of state
and the sword and standard of state used
at the ceremony of the opening of Parlia
be said of the Democratic nominees as
the spirit and intent of the primary
law- was disregarded, and the ticket
slated and put up after the old and ap
proved Democratic fashion. It is time
that the sovereign voters of Oregon
rescue the state from the tyranny of
boss rule. y
Polities In Public Offices.
Helix Herald.
Our Democratic brethren will tell
you that there is no politics in certain
offices. Just ask them to name one sin

has no politics in it.
Xo Factional Difference.
Newport News.
'The Republican state ticket is one of
the best that has ever been before the
people of Oregon. There are no fac
tional fights or petty differences in the
Republican party this campaign and
every man oh the state ticket should,
and we do not hesitate to predict, will
be elected with larger Republican ma
jorities than ever before.
Campaign Lie Nailed.
Medford Tribune.
The Oregonlan of yesterday contains
a complete expose of the ridiculous
character of the attack on Jonathan
Bourne by means of an unsigned circu
lar. This circular was scattered broad
cast and, while any reasoning person
would naturally give the charges made
in this manner little credence, it was
deemed best to nail the whole story as
a lie and this has been accomplished.
Chamberlain In the Democracy.
Astorian.
Tiie Democratic political procession
in the present campaign is composed of
one lone individual. George E. Cham
berlain, sole representative, leader and
candidate. He is the whole show. His
followers have thrown every office on
the state roster to the winds, in the
one, supreme purpose of electing, or
rather, re-electing George E. Cham
berlain as Governor.
Foolish and Unjust Attack.
Prlneville Review (Ind.)
The Portland Journal has made a
most unwarranted attack on Dr. Withy
combe, Republican nominee for Gov
ernor, in stating or Insinuating that
the doctor is disqualified because he
became a citizen through the naturali
zation of his father and neglected to
take out his own papers until 1888. This
he probably did for his own conveni
ence, and not because he was forced to
do so; and it is conceded that the doc
tor was just as much a citizen before
as after this act. The Review Is not
boosting for Dr. Withycombe. or for
any candidate or party, but it considers
this attack unjust. It also knows that
George E. Chamberlain will be a hard
man for the doctor to beat, and his bat
tle scars will be numerous if he wins.
But the Review admires more than any"
thing else the spirit- of fair play, and
the Journal's attack It regards as most
childish. '
Making Votes for Withycombe.
Oregon City Enterprise.
The Democrats must be reduced to
desperate straits when they are com
pelled to resort to attacking the na
tionality of Dr. Withycombe. Republican
candidate for Governor. This is the only
charge they have been able to bring
against the Benton County candidate. It
Indicates that alarm exists among the
minority party members for the success
of -Our George." Making such charges
can only be construed as a confession of
the weakness of the .opposition to Dr.
ment at the Winter Palace. May 10. were
today placed in the Museum of the Krem
lin for safekeeping. The crown, globe and
scepter remain at the Hermitage palace
in St. Petersburg, which contains the
most important of the imperial collections.
LAXD STRVGGLE COMES XEXT
Each Party Has Solution to Offer for
Agrarian Problem.
ST. PETERSBURG. May 22. Parliament
will probably not meet again until May
25, today being the fete day of St. Nicho
las, the miracle-worker, and May 24 being
Ascension day. another great holiday.
The interim will be occupied by the com
mittee in examining the credentials of
election of members and in preparation
for the coming struggle over the measure
for the solution of the agrarian question.
The attention of the country and Parlia
ment Is now riveted-oh this problem, all
sides recognizing that the manner in
which it is solved largely will determine
the future course of -events. The Liberal
papers which yesterday clamored for an
open war of retaliation, owing to the
Emperor's refusal to personally receive
the deputation appointed by the House,
after sober reflection commend the
course of Parliament in overlooking the
point of etiquette in favor of the serious
work which the country expects It to ac
complish. The Constitutional Democrats' agrarian
project will be attacked both by the right
and the left. The Radical workmen and
peasant group, which now numbers over
70 members, has decided to make a fight
for the complete abolition of private own
ership and the establishment of a sys
tem providing for the full nationalization
of land. While the members of the right
have a conservative land programme of
their own, the details have not yet been
given out. They are trying hard to in
duce the group of 40 peasants, who are
holding aloof from party affiliations, to
Join them. They are proceeding on- the
theory that the Constitutional Democrats
and extremists by excesses will discredit
themselves before the country and bring
about a reaction which will give the Con
servatives a majority at the next election.
As evidence of Its desire to work in
harmony with the lower house, the Coun
cil of the Empire, or upper house, has
decided not to pi ess Its own views of the
great questions awaiting solution, but to
wait the initiative of the lower house.
ATTACKS FREE SEED GRAFT
Senate Committee Opposes Distri
bution of Common Seeds:
WASHINGTON, Majw.22. The agricul
tural appropriation bill was reported to
the Senate today. It carries $7,715,000, an
Increase of $223,560 over the amount car
ried by the bill as it passed the House.
Items of increase include $511,000 for the
Bureau of Animal Industry; $51,630 for
the Bureau of Plant Industry, and $32,
400 for experiment stations; $15,000 addi
tional for public roads and $10,000 addi
tion to exterminate the gypsy moth. Re
garding free seeds the report sa'ys;
A decided majority of the committee ex
pressed themselves Informally as opposed to
the distribution of common seeds, as author
ized by the law of former years, but deemed
It inadvisable at this session to recommend
a change, believing that such could not now
secure the desired result, but trust at the
next session a. liberal appropriation for the
distribution of rare and valuable seeds may
take the place of the present very objection
able system.

Wasco News.
Dr. Withycombe is a Republican and a
gentleman, able and clean. His interests
are the interests of the common people.
A vote for Withycombe is a vote for good
government and Republican principles.
What Republicans Will Do.
Sumpter American.
When the votes are counted It will be
found that George E. Chamberlain had a
great many less than 10.000 Republican
friends, and that Dr. James Withycombe
will he Oregon's Republican Governor,
elected by Republican voters. ,
Take Vour Choice.
Lebonon riterlon.
. The Chamberlain campaign managers
are asking the defeat of Dr. Withycombe
on the ground of his birthplace being
England. Chamberlain was not born in
England, but he was born In Mississippi.
Now take your choice as which best
'qualifies each to be governor of Republi
can Oregon.
Need of a New Constitution.
Pendleton Tribune.
Ten amendments to the constitution
are proposed, some of which may pass.
At this rate, how long will the constitu
tion be recognizable? The fact Is that a
constitutional convention should be called
in Oregon, and the old. Inadequate,
patched-up instrument revolutionized to
meet the needs of the Greater Oregon.
Rntlre People Respected It.
Heppner Times.
The personnel of the Republican state
ticket is such that it commands the re
spect of not only the party, but the entire
people of the state. No better ticket has
ever been nominated, and it was created
by a direct vole of the people, and there
Is scarcely a doubt but that it will be
elected to a man the 4th of June.
The Man Behind the Platform.
Moro Observer.
Dr. Withycombe is not afraid to say
what he means in plain words, and he
means the right things for Oregon. His
platform has no holes in it. It is con
servative, safe and sane; has no moss
or barnacles on It; and best of all. the
man behind the platform is capable of
vitalizing it and putting it into force.
Worklng Shoulder to Shoulder.
La Grande Observer.
If we never have another, it can be
truthfully said that the La Grande Re
publicans in this campaign are working
shoulder to shoulder for the purpose of
electing the entire Republican ticket.
There are no Chamberlain buttons being
worn this year by staunch Republicans.
Neither will there be any 700 majority
for Mr. Chamberlain in this county next
June. His most ardent supporters would
be glad to compromise on an even break.
Just the Silly Story.
Medford Tribune.
Oregon is in the midst of a political
campaign, and up to date the most grati
fying feature of the struggle for office
has been the absence of mud-slinging and
vtllification. To be sure, our friends, the
enemy, have tried to make capital out of
the fact that our candidate for Governor
was not born in Oregon, or even in the
United States, but Dr. Withycombe has
made an explanation that has been ac
cepted -as satisfactory to the people.

made by the New York Central railroad,
Nathan Guilford, its vice president, and
Fred L. Pomeroy, its general traffic
manager, were today withdrawn in the

Earle, sugar dealers of Detroit, and the
American Sugar Refining Company. In
these latter cases pleas of not guilty

agreement with the American Sugar
Refining Company and accepted its

there at a rate from 4 to 6 cents less
than the "lawful tariff charge of 21
cents. The indictment alleges a pay
ment to the sugar company of $26,141
for rebates under this agreement.
The indictment involving Nathan
Guilford and the New York Central
specifies 128 separate consignments of
sugar under the alleged rebating agree
ment with Edgar & Son and cites three
refunding payments of $833, .$86 and
$920.
The indictment against the New York
Central as a corporation, together with
Vice-President Guilford and Traffic
Manager Pomeroy, specifies over 200
alleged rebate shipments- and charges

$1524 in July, 1904, and $2474 on Sep
tember 23, 1904.

Sugar Refining Company individually
charges that in 1902 It induced the New
York Central & Hudson River Railway
Company to enter into an unlawful
agreement in the event of the sugar
company's shipping a certain percent
age of its westbound traffic over the
Central road.
Tne indictment against the sugar
company and Messrs. Edgar and Earle
charges an alleged unlawful rebating
agreement whereby 5 cents per hun
dred was knocked off the regular 23
