The commltteo on ways and means
submitted the following report in a com

the Commissioners of tho Police Depart
ment, July IS, ISOO. setting forth the condi
tion of the affairs at the present time
occasioned by the reduction of the assess
ment for this year and the outlook fcr
the succeeding portion of the present year
asking for relief from this Council to
wards their expenses, and further sug
gesting that the city shall tdke charge
of paying the Licence Collector, the offi

"Portland. Or., August L 1900. To tho
Honorable Mayor and Common Council.
"We find that section 71 of the city
charter provides that the Police Commis
sioners shall on January 1 of each year
report to the Common Council the esti
mated amount of salaries and other nec
essary expenses of the police department
for the enduing year and tho Common
Council must make appropriations not
exceeding 14 mills on tic dollar upon all
tHraMe property within said cltv to meet
tho expenses of the police department.
"We Una that this report from the said
Commissioners "was duly made and the
proper feporopriatlons were duly author
ized by the City Council in January
last.
"The amount of such appropriations
resulting from the collection of the tax
authorized upon the assessable prperty
of this city -would be 549,875. "We find that
on January X, 1900, there stood to the
credit of the police fund the sum of
J2122 16 from delinquent taxes of 1899. and
the collection of the general taxes of 1900
up ta the present time has amounted to
tSS 411 2S. This amount, together with the
balance before stated, has placed to the
credit of the police department 540,533 4L
We find that up to the present time
warrants have beon drawn against this
fund to the amount of 538,152 03, which
leaves to the credit of that fund this
iroralng the sum of $2351 4L The payroll
ard the miscellaneous expenses of the p"
lioe department for July, which will be
presented at this meeting, amount to
5461134. To meet this current obligation
v M require the sum of 52129 S3. We are
advised that thte Council has not legal
authorlt to mak'e an appropriation out
of the general fund to the credit of the
pc Hce department fund of any sum what
ever. "We find, however, that we can trans
fer from the general fund to the credit
of the police department fund as a tem
porary loan the amount needed to meet
the balance due upon the payroll and ex
pense bills for July. We therefore recom
mend that tills be done by your honor
able body and we herewith submit an or
dinance making the proper transfer of
said amount of 52129 S3.
"Wo are of the opinion that it would
be to the advantage of the city if the
License Collector and his deputy were un
der the immediate control and direction
of the license committee of this Coun
cil We would therefore advise that you
authorize the license committee to make
such arrangement with the Police Com
mlreloners as will transfer their re
sponsibility to the police department over
to the license committee.
"We deem this best in view of the ex
pected large increase of work devolving
urn the collection department. With
reference to the facers of the Boys' and
Girls' AW Society and of the Humane
Society, we have no definite or specific
advice to ofter as we are not at present
fully advised as to their duties and the
necessity of their appointment but will
take pleasure in reporting further with

considered details relating to carrying
out their large project
Today contracts will be signed for the
erection of tho grain palace and the
woman's building, and the work on all
the buildings and booths will go on
apace.
In order to stimulate decorations over
the entire city during the- carnival week
so that the city will assume a holiday
appearance, the committee decided last
evening to offer first and second prizes of
handsome gold and silver medals for the
most attractively decorated buildings. On
Elks' day, September 7, it was also de-
elded to offer $200 in prizes for the lodges
making tho most novel and characteristic
display In the great parade on that day.
Many of the lodges throughout the state
are already preparing for their displays.
Prizes will also be offered for the visiting
orders turning out in the largest numbers
and making creditable showing in other
respects. In addition to parading1 in

well homage of their thousands of sub

VERY COLD OUTSIDER.
John F. Cordray Does a One-Act Spe
cialty in Airy Costume.
The quiet and serenity which usually
reigns in the charming neighborhood of
East, Twenty-second and Burnside streets
was broken about 6 o'clock yesterday-
morning by the appearance on the porcJh
of a handsome residence of a man clad
in an airy night garment and a state of
agitation, frantically pounding ior admit
tance on the door. The people who hap-
pened to bo passing that way, on closer
inspection aiscoverea tnat tne rank out
sider was John F. Cordray, and that the
residence ho seemed so eager to enter was
his own house. Just why he should be on
the front steps on a chilly morning with
no other raiment than his robe de nult
was what they did not understand, but
something about the case interested them,
and, they remained to await developments,
while Mr. Cordray continued to beat a
staccato on the door, and other passers
by Joined the watching throng till it num
bered what might be termed a good first
night house, if not standing room only.
Mr. Cordray did not turn around to
view the crqwd. He apparently did not
take as much Interest in it as It did in
him. He thumped on the door till one of
the 'panels threatened to cave in and al
low the open gateway he coveted, and
his blows attracted the attention of the
servant girl, who, broom and bucket In
hand, came in full gallop around the cor
ner of the house, apparently in the belief
that there was something doing.
Suddenly her eyes fell on Mr. Cordray
and gathered in the details of his cos
tume. "Ach, du Heber Gott!" was all she said,
but she said it while she was disappear
ing around the corner of the house. Just
about that time some one in the house
opened the door, and the knocker entered,
without pausing to maka any explanation
to the crowd, which lingered expectantly,
hoping to sec him ejected again.
. Mr. Cordray was not on the porch be
cause it was too hot inside or because he
needed exercise of a light character be
fore breakfast He is very busy with the
Portland Street Fair and Carnival these
days, and has acquired a habit of read
ing his morning paper before he rises, the
same being brought to him by his dutiful
wife. But yesterday Mrs. Cordray failed
to put In an appearance with the paper,
and Mr. Cordray made the fatal mistake
of thinking he could get it for himself.
Going down to the door, he pushed it
open a crack and made a wild reach for
the paper. It was Just beyond his grasp.
After two or three more ineffectual at
tempts to land It he looked up and down
the street, and, seeing no one, stepped
hastily outside, kicking the Journal as he
went so that he had to walk clear of the
door to reach It As soon as he was well
outside, a sportivo breeze slammed the
door, the dead latch clicked, and he was
very much on the cold outside. His garb
was not such as to warrant promenading
around the house to the back door, and
so he naturally began to knock for ad
mission, with the results already chroni
cled. Had Mrs. Cordray not happened
to be awakened by his knocking he might
be there yet. Mr. Cordray now clothes
himself before he reads the news.
SHEEP FOR CHICAGO.
Ten Thousand Bead Fattening In
Blue Mountains.
J. I. Carson, of the sheepdeallng firm of
Carson & Castlday?-came down from Ba
ker County yesterday. The firm's sheep,
to the number of 10,000, are fattening in
the meadows of the Blue Mountains, and
about 5000 wethers are now ready ior
shipment to Chicago. He expects to pur
chase about 5000 lambs In Oregon this
Fall, -which will be Wintered among the
numerous haystacks of the Owyhee, and
In the Spring these will be shipped to
the feeding grounds at Central City, Ne
braska. He hopes to purchase these
lambs at 51 50 each, but Is not sure he
can make it, as sheep men are still
pretty stiff and independent in Oregon,
as a result of good prices netted from
Spring sales.
Feed Is getting pretty dry in the Blue
Mountains, he said, and -unless rain fails
within a week or two, stock will begin
to fall oft Corn, however. Is cheap Jn
Nebraska, and he can ship that far ana
halt at tho feeding grounds long enough
to add considerable weight to his weth
ers before finally sending them to the
slaughter-houses of the Windy city.

TRUCKMEN STILL OUT
HAVE SUCCEEDED IX E3IBARRASS
IKG TRANSFER. COMPANIES.
Persnaded Many Substitutes to Quit
-Some Companies Secure
New Drivers.
There were apparently no gains by eith
er side, yesterday in the draymen's strike.
No trouble of a serious nature was ob
served anywhere. The strikers announced
that they were going to be perfectly or
derly in their methods and courteous, but
firm. The transfer companies were stand
ing equally Arm yesterday, and striving
io secure men to fill the places of those
who quit work. In some instances they
were partly successful, while almost com
plete failure marked the efforts in others.
There were than enough men making ap
plication for the vacant positions, but
all of them were not drivers. Wherever
It appeared that an applicant could han
dle a team fairly well, he was given a
chance. But there tho greatest obstacle
was encountered by the transfer com
panies. All the striking men made It an object
to approach every new man taking out a
team and arguing the case with him. No
violence or threats were used. Reason
was appealed to and in many Instances
the new men responded, turning over
their teams to the companies and quitting
work. This seemed to be the greatest dif
ficulty encountered by the transfer com
panies. They could get men to start to
work, but not many of them continued
throughout the day. The strikers say
their arguments were simply to the ef
fect that- a strike had been ordered be
cause wages were too low for the sup
port of their families, and It was fair
from just or kind in any worklngman to
take the vacant nosition.
The Holman Transfer Company had out
about two-thirds of their equipment Six
trucks and two drays were working most
of the day, and endeavoring to move the
fast-accumulating freight. Only two of
the firm's old employes remained, one of
them being Sam Glover, the veteran team
ster, who has been with Holman for 21
years. Glover is an ardent anti-union
man. He says his grandfather fought in
the Revolution for independence, and he
will not sacrifice it now to any labor
organization.
The Northwest Transfer Company only
lost two of Its men in the strike, and
was doing fairly well. No trouble was
found In securing two more for the vacant
positions. Work with the company was
rather slow because of the general dis
turbance resulting from the strike, but
the management believed another day or
two would clear everything away.
The Wakeman & Morse Transfer Com
pany was laboring with greater difficulty.
Every man driving for the firm struck,'
and the strikers seemed especially active
in persuading new men to leave their
trucks. Considerable annoyance was
caused to the management by the inabil
ity to handle freight booked. The Pacific
Transfer Company had a few trucks and
drays out, but was suffering somewhat
from the delay and difficulties of moving
freight. The Streiblg Transfer Company
also had three or four wagons at work,
but was also handicapped.
Sixth and Gllsan streets seemed to be
general headquarters of the striking
union men. There a number of them were
to be seen almost every hour of the day,
each wearing a small brass badge, which
has been adopted by the Draymen'sTJnlon.
Every striker wore this badge so as to
let the people know who he was, and so
as to enable all to judge who was
guilty If depredations were committed.
The "members of the Union said all had
been instructed to exercise their influence
in the mildest manner possible and al
ways within the limits of law and order.
The conspicuous badge on the lapel of the
coat would readily Identify the members
of the TJnion wherever they were.
Much of the heavy hauling passes Sixth
and Gllsan streets. The strikers as
sembled there might have been regarded
by a few more timid drivers as menacing,

several times this was done.

to work an injustice on them or others.
We believe we are right in our demands,
and seem to have no other way of accom
plishing our purpose than arguing with
the now men that they do us a wrong
to jump into our positions under the cir
cumstances. We would also correct a
statement that seems .to have -emanated
from some of the transfer companies re
garding the notice before quitting: It
has been charged that we gave no no
tice. This Is wrong. The transfer com
panies knew we were asking for a raise
three months ago, and the natural result
of everything that has happened since
has been a strike. All knew that we
would quit If wages were not Increased,
and it cannot truthfully be said fair no
tice was not given.
COLORADO FOR M'KINLEY.
Opinion of Dr. C. W.Lonsr, of Denver
Tribune.
Dr. C. W. Long, of the Denver Tribune,
is visiting in Portland for a few days
and stopping at the Portland. This is
Dr. Long's Summer vacation and he finds
the cool atmosphere of the Northwest
equal to a seacoast resort Since leaving
home a few days ago, he has been through
Utah, Washington and Idaho, and is now
looking over Oregon. After four or five
days in Portland he will go home, pass
ing through the eastern part of the state
en route.
Dr. Long believes Colorado will go Re
publican In the National election this
Fall. "We will roll up a majority there
this Fall," he said, "and we will send
Wolcott back to the United States Senate.
He has proven a splendid man for the
position. He Is an able man and can do
more for his states than any other, as
his record in Congress for the past years
will prove. We expect a hard fight this
Fall, but are preparing for It Business
men appreciate the benefit it will be to
them to have the state In the Republican
ranks. They are shaping for their best
efforts. Silver is losing hold. A few
years ago It seemed the state would be
ruined by the depreciation of silver. Now
the great silver mines, such as Leadville,
etc, are turning out more gold than they
ever did silver. AH attention has been
turned to gold, and great results' are at
tained. Cripple Creek is surprising them
all, as It is better than It ever was. Thus,
you see, silver is losing its hold. I be
lieve most all the business Interests of
the state now are anxious and working
for Republican success'. We are endeav
oring to have. some of the big National
speakers visit the state and make a. thor
ough campaign. It is possible that both
McKInley and Roosevelt will come, al
though that Is a matter unsettled yet"

FILIPINOS FEAR CAVALRY.
Returned Troopers Tell Anout Ficht
in In Lnzoo.
A squad of noncommissioned officers of.
the Twenty-third regulars, accompanied
by some discharged privates of the
Fourth Cavalry, passed through Portland
yesterday, on their return from tho Phil
ippines to their homes in the East They
crossed the ocean via Nagasaki, Japan,
to San Francisco on the steamer War
ren, and were very glad to be thus far
along toward their old homes. The mn
looked dark and thin, and would have
passed for a crowd of Mexicans, so
swarthy had their complexions become
under the influence of the tropical sun
amid the rice fields and sugar-cane plan
tations of Luzon. Their three years'
term of enlistment had expired in June,
and they all carried honorable discharges
In their coat pockets, which some of
them exhibited at tho Grand Central Sta
tion while waiting for the outgoing train.
Tho cavalrymen served 22 months in
Luzon, and expressed themselves as hav
ing had "quite enough of it" When
asked how the Filipinos stood a cavalry
charge, they said that even horses were
hardly quick enough to catch the "nig
gers," who would only shoot when at a
dlstt-nce cC 1000 yird or so, and th n
scatter to tho tcsh. When the mounti
soldiers would jcatch up with them, the

PORTUND, OREGON
natives had generally hidden their guns
and could not be distinguished from their
noncombatant countrymen.
"A nigger would meet you on the street
with a smile today, and be shooting at
you from, behind a tree tomorrow," one
cavalryman, whose name Is Paebat, said,
"and when we took prisoners they would
be turned loose to fight us again on the
first opportunity."
The soldiers all seemed to think that
tho Americans are using altogether too
much lenlencv in dealing with the
treacheriou3 natives, who do not appre
ciate, It
"They hate the Americans as bad. If
not worse, than they did the Spaniards,
and the only way to do with them Is to
kill. them when found shooting- at our
troops from ambush," one young fellow
ventured.
"Fighting now has assumed tho bush
whackers' tactics," their said, "and no
considerable number of Filipinos can bo
got together. The method now In vogue
of appointing armed police from tha
ranks of the friendly natives is going to
produce good results, as these police
can discriminate between the real amlgoa
i (friends) and the false. The capture of
General Pilar was due altogether to tne
native police, as our soldiers never
could have picked him out in a crowd
of natives."
The Fourth Cavalry was scattered in
small detachments all over the Island
of Luzon, from its northern to Its south
ern extremities, and a small squad Is
sufficient to put a lot of rebels to flight
as the Filipinos seemed to have much
more dread of cavalry than of Infantry
and they were seldom known to stand
and fire, even at 1CC0 yards' distance.
Cavalry Is Indlspensible In fighting
them, on account of their fleetness ot
foot and squads of insurgents wero
often cut oft and captured where in
fantry would have been almost helpless.
"If they would only stand and tight."
a member of the Twenty-third Infantry
said, "that's all we would want, and we
would soon have the rebellion put down."
The horses sent over from America do
very well In Luzon, but tho animals
must be fed on American hay. Tho rice
straw and sugar cane will not do for a
civilized horse, though the native stock
subsist upon It and as no one has yet
attempted to raise civilized hay for fod
der. It must be sent over there from the
States for a long time to come.
Ths Fourth Cavalry has besn filled up
with new recruits since the regiment
landed In Luzon, and the boys though
that about 14 per oent of the reglmert
had been killed and 15 per cent disabled
from wounds since it first struck the
Philippines. The discharged men spoka
as though they never Intended to enlist
again, unless a decided change should
come over their minds after they had ar
rived home.
