The session of congress that be gan this week brought hack a hot of republicans wearing the mantle of resignation and exclaiming in their attitudes: "We who are about to die salule you."

SAVE TIME NOW IN OCEAN MAIL Western Union Makes Special An nouncement Whereby Telegrams Can Be Sent to the Old Country in Somewhat of a Rush. FIGHT ON OVER PORTLAND MAN Judiciary Committee of Senate Not Favorable to Protest Filed by Bourne and Chamberlain Against Colwcll's Appointment, SALEM, Or.. Dec. 10. It. W. Raymond of Portland has been nam ed by Actii.g Governor Jay Hower mun to represent Oregon at tho na tional congress of Aihericnn Civic, associations, which will convene at Washington, I). C, December 14 to 10 and invito The association t hold its next nununl conference at Portland. The Western Union Telegraph company nnnounced today another innovation in telegraph service, call ed tho "special ocean mail service,'' designed to save time in foreign cor respondence. A letter from Sun Francisco ft Loudon requires .is much time crossing tho continent as it does crossing the ocean. A New York merchant writing to Yoko hama must post his letter practically a week before the mail stea'mor sails from San Francisco or Van couver. Tho Western Union hns arranged for tho uso of its night letter and other telegraphic service in connec tion with outgoing ocean mails, so that this week of transcontinental time may be saved. Its New .York offico will receive telegrams from any part of the country destined to European addresses and will for ward them In a sealed specially ad dressed envelope by tho first out going Atlantic steamship mail. Tho same plan will bo followed in San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver for4 trans-Pacifies mail. This will enable correspondence to bo dispatched from any irnrt of tho United States for tin ocean mail within a few hours of sailing time. The only charge in addition to the usual telegraph tolls to tlio ocean mail vi't will bo fi cents for pot ugo. Telegrams should bear tho full mail illdress of the foreign corre spondent for whom they arc intend ed, and marked, "Care Ocean Mail, New York," or Snu Francisco, Seat tlo or Vuncouvor, as tho ease may lie. WASHINGTON, I). C, Dec. 10. -A canvass of the judiciary commit tee of tho senate disclosed a con dition not favorable to tho protest filed by Senators llourno and Chamberlain against the appoint ment of Elmer Colwcll as United States marshal at Portland. The indications aro that Colwcll's ap pointment may be made a test case and that a quiet st niggle may ensue over it. It will also develop whether or not the democrats wjll work with the progressives during this session of eongross. Tho test 5h likely to como over tho unction whether the president would redeem his promise to Pulton and Dr. Coo given them in return for securing the Oregon dele gation for Tuft in 1008, or whether he will redeem his promise' to tho country given in a letter issued from Hevorly Inst summer, saying ho ould recognize solintors in re spect of apportionment, ,whother they be regulars or progressives. It is sufe to guess that Colwcll will bo confirmed.
