ATTHE TOMBS OF HEROES PORTIiAXD WILIi OFFER HER Alff NUAL DEVOTIONS TODAY. There "Will Be aa Abundance of Flower for Soldier' Graves Line of March. Greater feeling enters into memorial exercises today than for years or perhapa ever before in Portland. Preparations have been more elaborate than ever be fore, and there to a more general spirit of willingness to participate In the proces sion and devotional exercises to follow at the chuiches. With Spring showering beautiful flowers and adorning hill and valley In richest verdure, the tombs of the fallen soldiers would look sadly des olate If not decorated profusely. That they will be beautiful could be seen yesterday by the quantities of flowers being gath ered by loving hands. Headquarters of the decoration . committee, at 207 First street, was fast receiving loads of beau tiful tributes, and the quantity will be largely Increased today. The order of proceedings has been ar ranged Into three divisions. The morn ing will be devoted to decoration of the graves by committees chosen from the G. A. R., Spanish and Filipino War Vet erans and the auxiliary organizations of both the veteran associations. In the afternoon there will be the procession to Lone Fir, In which all the veterans will join. In the evening services will be held In two of the most prominent churches of the city, one on either side of the river. Thus will every phase of fitting memorial exercises be carried out, and the long march to RIverview and G. A. R. cemeteries, at first contemplated, avoided. To some of the aged veterans of the Civil War the Lone Fir walk will be a task too great for their strength, and a pro cession of the length proposed was ob jected to on that account. The weaker members will not be overtaxed, however, as provision will be made for their care. Decoration of the graves In all the cem eteries will be accomplished by the com mittees chosen for the purpose. These committees, have been chosen from the posts and "camps for work on their re spective sides of the river. All the de tails from both sides of the river are to assemble at G. A. R. headquarters, 207 First street, at 9 A. M., and from thence will proceed to the cemeteries to which they have been assigned. Everybody de sirous of donating flowers or other deco rations and not caring to make the trip to the cemeteries should bring the offering to the headquarters. The graves all should be heaped, and no doubt they will be. The most Imposing feature of the day will be the big procession starting from Fourth and Main streets at 2 P. M. and thence proceeding down Fourth to Burn side, east on Burnslde to Grand avenue and south on Grand avenue to East Stark street and east on East Stark to the Lone Fir cemetery. This will be composed of the Third Regiment, O. N. G., under com mand of Colonel Edward Everett, the vet erans of the Grand Army of the Repub lic, under their state commander, and the veterans of the Spanish and Filipino War Association, under the command of Major C. E. McDonell. General Owen Summers will be grand marshal of the day, and have general control of the procession. The G. A. R. expeclally Invite all the clergymen desiring to. participate in the parade to assemble at the Fourth-street entrance to the City Hall, where they will be received by General G. E. Caukln nd conducted to their position In the pa rade. But few clergymen turned out last year, but It Is expected that the Portland ministry will be more generally represent ed this time. The members of the Woman's Relief Corps of the G. A. R. and the Woman's Auxiliary of the volunteer organization will be at the cemetery to re ceive the procession and take part In the exercises to be held there. George Wright and Llncoln-Garfleld Posts, G. A. R., will assemble at the G. A. R. Hall, 207 First street, at 1:30 P. M., and Sumner and Ben Butler Posts will assemble at the same hour at their respective halls. All four of the volunteer camps. Summers, Harring ton, Gilbert and H, will assemble at Alis ky Hall, Third and Morrison streets. Im mediately after 1 P. M., so as to be ready to march from there by 1:30 for the ren dezvous at Fourth and Main. All vet erans not members of either of the above posts or camps are cordially Invited to Join In the procession with some of them. Gen eral Summers announces that the proces sion must start on time, at 2 P. M. sharp. In the evening there will be solemn services at the First Presbyterian Church on the west side of the river, and Centen arj on the East Side. The following amendments have been made to the formation for the parade In the afternoon, as published Monday: In dian War Veterans will form on Main street, on the left of the G. A. R. and In front of the Army and Navy Union. The Third-Street Midon Boys' Brigade will form on Taylor street, to the left of the Naval Battalion. Professor Standley's drum corps will be assicned to the th'rd division. General Summers especially urges all members of the Second Oregon to turn out in force and meet promptly at 1 P. M. at AlMty Hall. Dick Rogers Injured.

Chamber of Commerce Indorses the Load Postal Bill. Commendation of the Loud postal bill, now "before Congress, was the only work performed yesterday by the trustees of the Chamber of Commerce. Other mat ters were up in the form of reports to or from the Oregon delegation in Con gress, but nothing new developed In any. The postal matter was considered at the request of the New York Chamber of Commerce, which sent a communication requesting indorsement of the bill some time ago. The matter was then referred to the postal committee, consisting of Messrs Hahn and Williams, who yes terday reported In favor of indorsement of the bill and co-operation with the New York Chamber. The bill is as follows: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of Amer ica In Congress assembled. That the act of March 3, 1870, prescribing the conditions under which periodical publications shall be admit ted to the second-class mail matter, shall not hereafter be so construed as to admit to the second-class rates publications purporting: to be Issued periodically, and to subscribers, but which are merely books, or reprints of books. . -nhether they be Issued complete or In parts. whether they be bound or unbound, whether they be sold by subscription or otherwise, or whether they purport to be premiums or sup plements, or parts of regular newspapers or periodicals. Section 2. That news agents shall not be al lowed to return to news agents or publishers at the pound-rate, unsold periodical publica tions, but shall pay postage on the same at the rate of 1 cent for four qunces. Three dispatches were read from mem bers of the Oregon delegation. Senator Simon said regarding the emergency ap propriation for work at the mouth of the Columbia: Washington, May 19. Senator McBride and I ore making strenuous efforts with the commit tee on appropriations of the Senate to secure an appropriation of 5250,000 for improving the mouth of the Columbia Biver. TVe have had one or two conferences already on the subject with the committee, and are preparing a strong brief showing the imperative necessity for the appropriation. We shall submit your telegram to the committee Senator McBride telegraphed the com mittee as follows concerning the same matter, and the survey for a canal at The Dalles: Washington, May 28. Emergency river and harbor bill reported yesterday includes my amendment authorizing survey for canal and locks between the dalles and Celllo. The Sen ate today adopted amendment to sundry civil bill appropriating $250,000 for Jetty at mouth of I Columbia. Representative Tongue foretold the en actment of the Alaska civil code bill In the following communication: Washington. May 17. Yours of the 11th Inst. Just receU cd. The Alaska bill will unquestion ably be passed during the present session of Congress. There has not been tho slightest danger of Its failing to do so. 1 realize as much as any one the importance of settled con- Idltlons in that portion of the country. I took quite an interest In the passage of a bill providing that the criminal code pass Con gress, and shall do the same In endeavoring to secure the passage of proper legislation in this Congress. It seems to me that we ought to have provided suitable government for these people, our own race, who are capable of self government, and who need self-government, before we had been in such a hurry to attempt to hong our own Institutions upon the peoplo i of Porto Itlco, 85 per cent of whom neither read nor write. 95 per cent do not know our language, and not 1 per cent of whom know anything of our institutions. j 1 hae been doing everything possible for some time to excite on Interest in Alaska among the members of Congress. Of course I , shall support this bill, but I think it is a mis take In not allowing them a delegate to con gress. DECORATION DAY.

Cox Preside at a Bryan Free Silver Meeting: at tke Metro politan TJteater. The Republicans of the East Side held a rousing demonstration last night In the Burkhard Hall, In the Ninth ward, and the big auditorium was packed with an audience of about S00 people, a con siderable portion being women. A more enthusiastic gathering has never been held in that part of the city. Before the meeting was called to order the South ern Pacific band discoursed music on the street and then marched into the hall. where It gave several selections. The platform had been elaborately decorated with a profusion of flags, while a pic ture of Henry S. Rowe, the next Mayor, was prominently displayed In front. Richard Clinton, chairman of the com mittee of arrangements, called the meet ing to order, and then did a very appro priate and graceful act. Calling on J. C Jameson, president of the Alblna Repub lican Club, he said that Inasmuch aa a member of the committee from the Ninth WEAR THIS BUTTON TODAY. If you feel gratitude toward those who died for you and your country, buy one of these buttons today, and wear it, and help build a monument to their memory. Women and men, show your patriotism in substantial form! Button and SIIk-FIag Bow Only 35 Cents ward had presided at the big meeting held In Alblna it was proper that a prom inent citizen of the Tenth ward should preside at this meeting. Mr. Jameson accepted the honor amid much cheering. He then proceeded with the programme, after some vigorous remarks, by calling on the Uaona quartet, who favored the audience with a number of selections. Henry S. Rowe, candidate for Mayor, was then Introduced, and the ovation he received from his neighbors and friends must have been gratifying. He stood some time before. he could proceed, wait ing for the cheering to subside. No can didate ever received such a greeting as did Mr. Rowe last night in his own ward. Finally when , quiet was restored, Mr. Rowe gave one of those clear, deliberate and pointed addresses for which he Is noted. In which he set out his position and views of municipal affairs. He de clared that he regarded public office a public trust, and should conduct the office of Mayor as his judgment should suggest, for the upbuilding of the enUre lty. He said that he ehould enter the office, ir elected, without making pledges, and should select such men In making ap pointments as would serve the city falth- fully. Mr. Rowe also said he regarded It the duty of the Mayor carefully and thoroughly to supervise the business af fairs of the city, look after streets and sewers and other Improvements. Along this line Mr. Rowe made an effective ad dress, and received much applause at the close. Th nfrt jsnp.akpr -was Georce W. Stanle- ton, and as he began his address Gover nor Geer entered the hall, and was es corted to the platform. His coming was the signal for another outburst.'lthe audi ence standing and cheering 'lustily Those on the platform also arose and greeted the Governor. Mr. Stapleton called for cheers for Goernor Geer, and they were given with a will. Then Mr. Stapleton proceeded with his address. His talk opened with a resume of the national policy of the Republican party, compared with the policy of the Democratic party. Passing on, he took up local questions. In particular he referred to the attack that Tomorrow only we will sell choice assortment newest shape Summer Wrappers ' of fine quality figured lawn, in pink, lavender, navy and light blue.

Sew all, candidate for District Attorney, which he characterized as most outrageous. Judge Hennessy then sang .two se lections, and received much applause. Governor Geer'a Addrena. There were loud calls for Governor Geer, and he came forward and said. In part:- "I am on my way to Eastern Oregon to attend the closing campaign there, and would prefer to listen rather than talk, as that Is seldom my privilege. The dlfllcul ty'ln making a Republican speech Is that there is nothing to talk against, for there is so little opposition. Several years ago silver orators thronged the streets, and we heard from every corner that destruction threatened our country. They said that the poor were getting poorer and the rich man richer, and we should be unable to maintain our liberty much longer; but the threatened calamity has been success fully averted, and the silver-tongued ora tor silenced. I find that Portland Is a good Republican city In fact, a hotbed of Republicanism. "Other parties find always some hydra beaded monster of Republican parentage to be viewea with, alarm about election time, and Bryan finds more than anyone I ever heard of. When 1 heard him speak recently he seemed to be just as badly scared as ever, and had some new anda dreadful things, which he predicted would' befall us. His alarm was great, and I pitied him. But none of these terrible things have occurred, and we are grow ing more prosperous every day. This spir it of pessimism was often manifested four years ago. but the theories of more hard times are now exploded by the very rea son of our prosperity. Business has im proved and Is greatly Increased, and we have every reason to rejoice. Every tramp you see Is a Democratic argument, and Is but a lingering evidence of the Democratic era. He is also an evidence of their prosperity. Under the present Republican era. It is almost Impossible to get men enough to do the Increased work, and there Is no greater Index to the condi tion of the country than this very thing. Remember that we have the best, the strongest and most powerful Government on the face of the earth, and should never repeat the experience of the country when the reins were turned over to the Demo craUc party." D. Solid Cohen's Remark. D. Soils Cohen was then introduced, and said, in part: "Our Chief ExecuUve has just laid be fore us the condition of our country four years ago,- and I wish to say that Oregon will stand next Monday where she stood then; for the right. Never before did a party select so many candidates from the same locality as has bee'n done this year. Newly all are from the East Side of the river, and while we West SIders are not jealous, we want you to understand that we expect you to return a complete Re publican majority on Monday next, else we shall get a divorce and close up the bridges. Every man selected is entirely capable to fill the office for which he stands. First and foremost Is the office of Mayor, upon which so much depends. The Republican candidate, H. S. Rowe. Is a man who will fill It with credit and honor. He Is a conservative business man, and will manage It upon a strict busi ness"basls. Then you owe It to your par ty to vindicate by your votes -the vituper ations heaped upon Captain C. E. Mc Donell, candidate for County Assessor, by the opposition. And so I might go on down the entire list of candidates on the Republican ticket and show you how thor oughly capable they are. one and all, but time does not permit. Remember the great responsibility that .rests upon yon MEIER A r .'t - MEIER and next Monday vote the straight Re publican ticket." Ii. B. COX PRESIDED. Fusion Nominee for Congress Speak t the Metropolitan. Hon. William Smith, of Baker City, Fusion nominee for Representative from the Second District, delivered one of his lnlmlcable campaign speeches, as he termed It, at the Metropolitan theater last evening. The speaker was Intro duced by L. B. Cox, who said that he had been waited upon In the morning by a somewhat, miscellaneous committee with the statement that they were In search of a pure and undeflled Democrat to preside over the meeting, and that he had been complimented by their choice. In accepting the position Mr. Cox did not want to be understood as endorsing all the vagaries which the room contained, but that he was lea to act from the double motive of, pre oAntint, o -wraTTn TiArsnTml friend for whom he had the highest regard, and because j y,a -nrrmirt fhprhv he afforded an onnor. I tunity of stating the position of himself and those Democrats who had acted with him politically for the past few years. He spoke of the pain and regret with which they had felt compelled to sever the strong Ues of association with other members of their party, but said they had "been actuated by a high sense of duty, and If a like condition of affairs should be again presented the same sense of duty would Impel like action on their part. But in his opinion circumstances were not now the same. The time for tem porizing had passed, a broad line of de marcation had been drawn and any man who was conscious of the duties of citi zenship was compelled to take a stand on one side or the other of this line. He could not believe that the men or the measures which now gave charaoter to the Republican party were calculated to serve the best Interests of the country, and while refraining from any discussion of pending Issues, he would simply an nounce that he would take his stand n the side of Democracy. Three times In the history of the Government had the Democratic party been called upon to meet great political Issues. It had first given Thomas Jefferson, a generation later It gave Andrew Jackson, and now when these issues seemed even graver than ever before, destiny seemed to point to William J. Bryan as the man to meet the emergency. With a brief personal reference to the character and standing of Mr. Smith, Mr. Cox presented him to the audience. Mr. Smith made a free eilver, 16 to 1 speech. He announced himself to be a disciple of this cause from the ground up. If prosperity were here, he repeated sev eral times, it had been brought about by political means, and such improvement could not be classed as permanent. He advocated a prosperity which would ex ist at all Umes, no matter what party was In power. He claimed McKlnley had done exacUy what Bryan would have accomplished by his election by Increasing the Government indebtedness $400,000,000 and putting this amount of currency afloat. Secretary Gage was character ized as the head of an Infamous coterie of money sharks, and the late currency bill a national disgrace. It was on the initiative and referendum, the plank of the Omaha platform so near to the heart of true Populists, over which Mr. Smith waxed eloquent. He again and again lauded the Intelligence of the Amer ican people, which, he declared, the Ad ministration party held In low repute and If You Want to Save on Boys' Suits Come to . . .

He had consjderable to say about wrongs that had been visited upon Multnomah County, by vicious legislation, which could thus have been averted. He devoted about one-thlrd'of his speech to Multnomah County affairs. Ignoring National topics, and "admitting tnat he did not know what Imperialism and anti-imperialism meantr Be also disclaimed all knowledge as to the exact meaning of expansion.
