I'll Ul tX JLttl i- Democrats and Irreconcilable Republicans Making a Deal. DIVIDING THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET 2IcI3rldeItrs IVonld Not Be tntrllllnc to Hare a Democrat elected In Place of Their Man. Whoever will be the nominees of the Democratic City and County convention for Senators and Representatives, the fact remains that Irreconcilable Repub licans who were known In former cam paigns as MItchclItes and antl-SImonltes and now as McBrldeltes, etc., are engin eering the deal to have the Democrats put up a mixed ticket. They urged tho Demo cratic leaders before the primaries and the delegates after the primaries- not to be In a hurry to nominate a ticket, but to await co-operation from the disgruntled Republicans. It was through their influ ence that the Democratic convention on April 11 referred the matter of naming a legislative ticket to a special committee, consisting of Thomas O'Day, L. T. Peery. John -Jlontag. IV. E. Burke and Johnron -- Tllf.i Th a em m f I 1i nntxr Mnvm'T1p i the situation, but has not made up a ' Nslate. In addition to negotiating with the disgruntled Republicans, the commltteo hta, the Good Government Association on the string. As this organization consists principally of good intentions and elo quence, consideration of it is largely an act of courtesy. Three clasres of Republicans figure among the lrreconcllables. First, are those who are fighting Senator Simon. They are directing their efforts to defeat Senators who are likely to support Sen ator Simon for re-election in 1903. Sec- r,A i,k iha -i- fsin tf Cn.iA, -vftH-Ma . Third, are those who oppose McBride. but j who want to see a Republican elected to the Senate nert year. Singular as It may seem. tho McBxIdcItcs .and anti- McBrldMtcs jeem to be work ing in hnrmony The M"Hrld.- in n. rlnn'twsra ltes are proceeding sort of way. Apparently they have given , nr. imn nf ni.-iini. '.r.rtM Th.ii- I anxiety to combine with the Democrats on any terms indicates that they would prefer to sec a Democrat elected to the Senate if McBride cannot be put In again. Multnomah County is interested this year in IS seats In the legislature. One Is the joint Senatorsblp for Multnomah, "Washington and Columbia, and another joint Representative for Multnomah and Clackamas Counties. Alexander Sweek and John T. Mllncr, both of Portland, ore the candidates of the Democratic-Populist fusion for Senator and "Representa tive, respectively. The original deal be tween the Democrats and the Irreconcil able Republicans was that the Republi cans should have two Senators and eight Rpnrontnlv it 5 nun imrin-Mnnri i that they ask only three Senators and .. . ... three Representatives. This heavy con cession of the McBrldeltes is construed by a Democratic leader on the inside to mean that the McBrldeltes realize that they cannot help their man and have no aversion to giving aid to a Democrat. Four of tho members of the Demo cratic committee on legislative nomina tions were delegates to the Democratic state convention. This prevented tho com mittee from getting together until Sat urday last. Nothing definite was done then nor at yesterday's session, which lasted nearly all afternoon. Judge O'Day said that the committee was carefully canvassing the qualifications of persons who had been suggested for legislative nominations. The Judge said ol;o that the committee had not decided how many places would be given to Democrats and how many. If any. to Republicans. "All we know," he declared, "Is that no man will go on the ticket who cannot draw votes to the whole ticket." TV. E. Burke, another member of the committee, said the ticket would not be put up In the In terest of any faction or of any candidate for Senator. All tho members of the com mittee are close-mouthed, and the names cf candidates considered are not leaking out in large numbers. It Is known that James Glcason. who was Assictant Dis trict Attorney under John M. Gearln, wai offered a place on the Senatorial tjeket, and that he declined It. Other names un der consideration are said to be those of W. E Robertson. George W. Holcomb. E. J. Jcffery, R. TV.

Mayor Storeys dropped in at a meeting of the street committee yesterday while a number of citizens were present, and in the course of conversation, stated em phatically that the report to the effect that he had been pulled, out of the race for re-election was a fake. He said he would be in the contest as an independent candidate for Mayor from start to finish, and If he gets only one vote It will be his own. and he added that he is not to be pulled down under any circumstances.

SPLENDID COMEDY. "Willie Collier DellgrliU a Ills Hoase In "Jlr. Smooth." Willie Collier in his original comedy. "Mr. Smooth." last night at the Marquam Grand theater scored a brilliant success, not only for himself, but for his rattling good play. A rousing Easter Monday night house greeted the comedian, and the applause and laughter, continuous throughout the performance, showed that the comedy and the clever company were fully appreciated. Collier Is a thorough ccmedlan of the high class, depending upon his serene self-possession and keen appreciation of the funny ride of life, for his success, rather than upon any stage mannerisms that are earmarks of the everyday comedian. The action of the play Is rapid, the absurd situations follow so rapidly as to cause the pideacho to become chronic If a little more curb were put on this rapidity at the end of the first and second arto. the effect would be more in keeping witn tho play in It en tirety. Originality Is one of the characteristics of Collier's play. Several farce-comedies have but a meager plot to act as a skclc- ton upon which to hang a countless num. r of ridiculous situations. This comedy .M3 u. ,jiufc. a. jiuiuuer ui pieanng iiiuc love passages, and complications galore. Collier as Mr. Smooth palms himself off on a rich banker and his family, and as 5umes a name not nis own. the arrival of the original Mr. Smooth requiring all his Ingenuity to dlsposo of. but Collier docs it successfully. During his masauerarie In the bosom of this wealthy family, the sup- posed Mr. Smooth and the banker's daugh ter. Rpso (Helena Collier), fall In love. All ends happily In the last act. Collier's attempts at explaining his action being highly amusing. Helena Collier as Rose Chtllelgh was a very charming and loyal sweetheart to her erratic Mr. Smooth, dressed the part stunningly, and acted her role admirably. Louise Allen Collier as Vera Vane, tho (jnicago girl, was another Gfbson girl with her fetching goVvns, nnd had a heap o trouble in bringing the slow Frank Chll lelgh to her Ideas of love making. Helen Reemer ap Angelica Chlllelgh. the maiden aunt, helped out In the comedy work by her rhlrl, amid outbursts of temner. XT.4lft Xr n- Iff.. T .....l ! . j . ; M.j ao ..1U9 J-llUbUUU.

His gentlemanly and elabor ato use of tho up-to-date race-track and sporting vernacular was at times so pro fuse as to be hard to the uninitiated to follow. M. L. Heckcrt as Dolt, the deaf butler, caused no end of fun by his In congruous answers. Glib (Thomas Gar rUh). the valet with tho impediment In his speech, was another 'quiet funmaker. George TV. Patrons as the real Mr. Smooth. John P. "Ward as Arthur Chll lelgh. the banker, and Alfred Hlcklnan as Frank, his son, were all good in their re spective roles. Willie Collier will extricate Mr. Smooth from his various troubles tonight and to morrow matinee and evening. HANDSOME SILVER CUPS. rrlie for Kennel Club Shoiv on Ex. MMtlon.

UTAH AND PACIFIC LINE IS UARRIMAX PIjAXMXG A UMOX "PACIFIC EXTE.NSIOXT Ills Significant Trip and It Hearing; on the Pntnre of Tronic- Railroad Tiolem. The Salt Lake Tribune, of Saturday, April 14, contains an article of more than ordinary interest- It says that Friday last a special train of nvo cars left that city with a distinguished party of rail road men on board, destined for Nevada. In the party were E. U. Harrlman, chalr man of three roads, and president of the Oregon Short Line; President Burt-of the Union Pacific, and President Mobler. of the O. R. & N. There were also Vice President Bancroft. General Traffic Man ager Eccles, Superintendent Young, Resi dent Engineer Ashton, of tho Short Line; Traffic Manager Munroe, Chief Engineer Choate. of the Union Pacific; Traffic Man ager Campbell, of the O. R. &. N be sides a dozen clerks and attaches, ''armed with a bundle of blue prints, maps and papers." It was considered that the trip was one of great significance. The Tribune says: "There are two facts that make it ap pear that the trip Is full of significance. They are tho importance of Mr. Harrlman In the railroad world, and tho unimport ance of the Juah-Mllford branch as a local line. . ., . From Mllford the Utah & Pa cific was finished last year, 73.C miles to Uvada. on the state line, and only about 20 miles from an all-rail connection to Manvel, Cat. From Provo to Mllford it Is 171 miles, representing today one of the least remunerative parts of the Oregon Short Line. By completing the 23) miles from Uvada to Manvel, the nonremunera tivo line would not only become a line that would fox exceed the best of the Idaho division In earning capacity, but It would immediately develop the great est highway of traffic In tho West, and would place the Harrlman roads in the advantageous position of having a Pa clflc port at Portland and one at San Diego, the latter being better for Oriental traffic than San Francisco. It is need less to repeat that the Oregon Short Line has a certain proprietary interest in the Utah & Pacific That fact is well known, but It only remains for the syndicate to acknowledge the ownership. "By building tho Inexpensive short line, the Oregon Short Line and connections would have at once ono of the main ar teries of travel in another region, a route from the North to the Southwest. From Lethbridgc. Canada, to San Diego, it is 1740 milts by existing roads and the 23 mlle r&n. Such a. line would cross elcht of the leading transcontinental lines tho Canadian Pacific at Lethbridgc. Great Northern at Great Falls, Northern "Pa cific at Helena, Idaho division of the Oregon Short Line at Pocatcllo, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific at Ogden, Rio Grande Western at Salt Lata. Santa Fe and Southern Pacific In California. "On the other band, tho lino would be backed by the most powerful railroad syn dicate of the day, which already owns and controls roads from, the Atlantic and Gulf points, Chicago, St. Louis and Kan sas City to Portland, Or., backing alone which could supply traffic to keep up a dozen trains dally over the lino which now runs a mixed train.',' The Tribune's article closes with this paragraph: "Columns have been written about the route to California, and that the Utah & Pacific would extend has never been doubted. Now that the leading man of the allied systems is going over the route, it Is taken as direct evidence that the line will be built. If so, the Union Pacific will make the greatest stride of Its cor porate life." Railroad Xotes. General Agent Eddy, of the Milwaukee. Is back from e. trip to Southern Call fornia.

R. posts to Impress upon the public their wishes that Memorial day. May 31. shall be kept sacred for the purposes for which It was established. They object to the day being used by any organization for any purpose, believing that It should bo allowed the G. A. R., to mako the day memorial of the Nation's dead. For this purpose John E. Mayo, Adjutant-General, undor tho eanctlon of Commander Gates, yesterday Issued the following bearing on the sub ject: "To Comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic, Department of Oregon: At the" meeting' of the Council of Administra tion of this department, held at Grand Army Hall. Portland, Or.. February 20. 1000, the following resolution was offered by Department Chaplain C. E. Cllne, and was unanimously adopted: " 'Resolved. That the Council of Admin istration of the Department of Oregon, G. A. R., respectfully request all' civic and fraternal organizations In this state to give, unmolested, to the Grand Army of tho Republic, May 30, as Memorial day, and that tho press of the state be request ed to aid In keeping sacred this day. de voted to the Nation's honored dead.' " General Summer Camp Smoker. At the Manley Hall, In upper Alblna, un der the auspices "" of General Summers Camp, No. 1, Spanish War Veterans, there was a great gathering of the comrades from the camps of the city last night. It was the smoker of tho General Summers Camp, and there was a general response to the invitations. Before the camp was called to order an hour was spent In a social reunion, during which tobacco and pipes wcro distributed. Then Captain North called the meeting to order and spoke a few words of welcome to the comrades. He announced that C. IT. Gan tcnbeln would address tho assemblage. Mr. Gantenbcln talked very pleasantly, telling of tho reputation of the Second Oregon, and said the regiment Is as well known at Washington as in Oregon. He said that tho tribute of Congressman Tiongue. which had appeared In The Sun day Oregonian, was a worthy statement, and would do much to still more fl,rmly establish the high- standing of the regi ment throughout the coustry. Mr. Gan tenbcln advised every one to read the ad dress. He touched on the growth of tho Natlonal'Guard In this state, and said it was now what St was before the call for volunteers had been made. In speaking of tho efforts to organize a company In Al blna, he said he considered that It would provo a success, and advised those who had started the organization to persist in their efforts. Mr. Gantcnbeln's remarks were highly entertaining. Following his address. Captain Harry L. Wells was called, and responded with some of his experiences In the East, and said he could corroborate the statement made by the former speaker that the Oregon regiment Is well and favorably known. Captain Wells said that wherever ho had lectured on the Philippine Islands ho had put In a word for tho First Washington and the Second Oregon Regiments. Captain Mc Donell followed with remarks. General Summers was present, and was Introduced by Captain North as the "father of tho Second Oregon Regiment." and ho gavo a highly interesting talk, touching on many amusing Incidents that had taken place In the islands. He urged the comrades to stand together and help one another upon aTl occasions. In clos ing, he said that If he were called upon to again go forth to uphold the flag, he would want to have the samo splendid body of men at his back. Then came refreshments, which were served quickly by members of the Camp. It was quite late when the comrades sep arated for tho evening, but It was a meeting of great p'ront and Interest to all present. 'It was announced that at the home of Mrs. Jones, Wednesday night, a reception would be given to two returned nurses, and that all members of the Sec ond would bo welcome and are urged to be present. The following resolutions were passed unanimously: "Whereas, Hon. Thomas H. Tongue.

The opening of the Madison-street bridge to the public Is a wonderful relief to tho Morrison-street bridge, and also divides up tho great volume of travel that goes over the river between Hawthorne avenue and East Morrison street. Tho extraor dinary travel over Morrison street since it was repaired has already worm tho plank, but tho decking of the Morrison street bridge shows tho grinding of tho double travel, and there will soon be call for repairs. East Water and Belmont streets aro still open and uod by the pub lic, but require constant repairing to keep them In safo condition. East Side Xnlti. George B. Chamberlain and J. T.
