THE ' MOBtfING -OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, -OCTOBER -Iff, I90(F. BRYAN AND MINING Effect of 16 to 1 Upon Gold Development In Oregon. CAPITAL WOULD BE SCARED AWAY Silver Mine "Would Be the More Profitable and Gold. "Would Be Reelected for Them. Bryaa's election -would check jrold-mln-lng development in Eastern Oregon and scare a-vray capital that Is seeking invest ment in that section of the State. Such Is the opinion of Sam R. Stott the -arell-knoTra Sumpter lawyer, and it Is one of the reasons why he wilL vote for Mc Xinley next month. Mr. Stott supported Bryan lour years ago. "Bryan's election would give gold-mining In Eastern Oregon a five years set back," said Mr. Stott yesterday. "The' sold standard has made the. mining in dustry of our part of the .state Four years ago It was all but Impossible to In terest capital in our mines. In fact, the greater part of the capital Invested has found its way Into Oregon in the past two years only after a gold standard law had been assured. I know of two large cor porations of Massachusetts .men who are investing $1,000,000 who would not have put a dollar in our mines If it had not been for the gold standard. If Bryan should be elected this development -will come to a sudden stop, but if MpKlnley wins wo shall get more gold from the East and Europe to open up our gold and copper properties. "Bryan's election and the adoption of 16 to 1 would have the same effect upon goldVminlng that the fall In the price of silver had upon the silver-mining. "When silver fell to 50 odd cents an ounce and gold was worth, as it Is now, 20 37 an ounce, miners dropped silver and began hunting for gold. This Is one of the fac tors of the enormous gold development in Colorado and Oregon. But let the Government, with a free-silver Adminis tration, undertake to put the false price of $129 per ounce on silver, and men "will drop gold and begin hunting for sil ver. Silver at Si 29 per ounce Is more profitable mining than gold at $20 67. "What would be the result. Gold-mining in Eastern. Oregon would be neglected and people would be crazy about silver. Capital intended for investment in Oregon gold properties would be sent to Mexico .and other places to open silver mines. "Both mlneowners and laborers are prospering under the gold standard. The former are enabled to sell their properties or get money to devel op them, and the latter are working for pay that is as good as that paid in any mining region In the United States. The scale ranges from $3 to ?4 per day, averaging about $3 50. As the develop ment of the mines progresses and con tinuous work becomes practicable, the mines are adopting the 8-hour basis for labor without reducing the wages paid. So satisfactory are conditions that the Colorado miners Tvho have come to East ern Oregon for work have changed! ground on the money question. They find that they do better under the gold standard than if the country were on -the silver basis, and I feel sure that the great majority of them will vcte for Mc lUnley next month. They have a fur ther object lesson in the fact that the silver produced by our mines Is not lost. It finds Its Tvay into the market and is cold at present quotations. Neither em ployers nor employes are affected by the Democratic appeal to do something for silver. With everybody satisfied with the prosperity of the mining country and nobody shouting calamity I shall be sur prised if Baker County does not give Mc Xinfley a good majority. "Four years ago I supported Bryan be cause the business interests of the coun try were wrecked. The thing to do was to provide a way out of the dilemma. I thought hlmetallsm would give us a plentiful supply of money, which we needed, but we got increase In circula tion through the gold standard. "We fought a war successfully and bad more gold when it was over than at the be ginning. The gold standard has made us a creditor nation Instead of a debtor nation and I for one do not believe in throwing away the fruits of our victory by electing Bryan. Four years ago we had a lot of false issues. One of them was the bugaboo of government by injunc tion, but there wras nothing In it. This year we have the bugaboo -of imperialism, but there is nothing In it. The issue this year, as In lS9f, is money. Brian's elec tion would mean free silver, and McKIn ley's continuance of the gold standard. The interest of all mining men lies with the ibest money and they are for gold." For the Citzena Nomination. The Mitchell-McBrlde push and the Citizens steering committee are still ne gotiating for a Legislative candidate. The choice of the committee has appar ently -narrowed down to John Wood, an employe of the Wolff & Zwicker Iron Works, and F. E. Beach, a Bryanite, -with C M. Hodson, tiie- sprinter,- sug gested as a possibility. Mr. Wood Is a Bepiblican. CTTV Republican. Speakers. The Republican State Committee has re ceived numerous requests for assignments for William M. Colvlg, of Jacksonville, the Bryan Democrat of 1896, who re cently declared his "intention to support Mclinley. J4 B. Eddy Is addressing large meetings in his tour through Wheeler, Grant and Harney Counties. C. B. Watson will fill several dates In Douglas County. B. B. Beekman is stumping Klamath and Lake Counties.

Leasure will apeak at Pleas ant Home October 20 and at Hillsdale October 22. Prosperity in Lane Connty. " Mayor T. W- Harris, of Eugene, writes as follows to the Republican State Com mittee! T feel sure that Lane County will give McKInley a good majority. Our people have never known prosperity so general as that they are now enjoying. There is, however, a most remarkable apathy on the part of the people general ly. This I Interpret favorablyv for It seems to me that it is the result of general employment and contentment The majority of the Democrats who voted with us four years ago will do so again next month." Tilmon Ford Doing: Good .. orlc. Tilmon Ford. Republican candidate for Presidential Elector, Is making an effec tive campaign In Western Oregon. He has a simple way of stating issue that takes and gains for him the good will of his hearers. At Dusty. Benton County, he addressed one of the most enthusiastic meetings of the campaign. Manv Demo crats and Populists attended the rally and gave close attention to the speech. The Democrats and Populists -were In as good humor as the Republicans and at the conclusion of the speech several of them who own cattle and sheep shook hands Trith Mr. Ford and thanked him for his fair treatment ol tho issufs. At Toledo. Mr. Ford addressed an au 54ence which Included many Siletz In- dians. F. M. Carter writes from Toledo that Lincoln County is solid for McKIn ley. Fifth. Wfed Sosnd Money Club. The regular weekly meeting of the Fifth Ward Sound Money Republican Club will be held Wednesday evening, Octo ber 17, at the club's hall, corner First and Jefferson streets. Excellent speakers will be present to' explain the political issues of the campaign. The Fifth Ward club was one of 'the first to open with ward meetings during the campaign.' It has also 'been of material assistance to the Republican State Committee in the distribution of campaign, literature, hav ing distributed daily to from 40 to SO persons,. Th executive committee has been fortunate in procuring quarters in a section of the city where a large num ber of workingmen reside, and has been able to reach this class of persons when returning from work at noon and even ing, and has found the laboring element of that section of the city well sat isfied at the existing prosperity. BABY SUFFOCATED. Fate of An East Side Child East Side Affairs.' The two-months-old child of Mr. and Mrs Joseph Jacobs, who, live at 47 East Ninth street, was found dead In bed shortly after 12 o'clock Sunday night, having been accidentally suffocated while sleeping, on its mother's arms. Mr. Ja cobs came home Sunday night at about U o'clock. The rest of the family had already retired for the night. At that time the infant was apparently rleeping In Its mother's arms, but when Mrs. Ja cobs woke up she found her baby dead. Coroner Rand investigated the circum stances of the case" yesterday and came to the conclusion that the Infant had been accidentally suffocated. The child had been Weak and sick from birth, and the action of its heart was weak. For this reason the slightest obstruction would stop Its breathing. Tho Cororier did not consider it necessary to hold an Inquest in the case. The funeral of the infant took place yesterday afternoon. Rev. Father J. ..Black, of St. Francis Church, officiated. Beautiful Driveiray. The Base Line road from East Thirty fourth street to Mount Tabor and to Montavilla and eastward has become the most popular and attractive drive out of Portland. In laying out cycle paths on each side to West avenue they were made wider than other paths and were, built better. Residents encouraged and assisted In the construction of these paths, although there was some objection, as it was necessary to widen the road on the south side by taking In a few feet of ground that had been covered by fences, but which really belonged to the road. The paths on both sides pass most ly under shade trees, and on either side are located many hothouses that suppty Portland with flowers. The paths are car ried Tip to West avenue at the school house. A single path swings around the north side of Mount Tabor and passes through Montavilla, and then double paths again follow the Base Line through to the SanSy. At Montavilla the resi dents built a path on Hlbbard street, between ,the Base Line and North Monta villa A visitor from the East, John C. Lakln, wheeled out to the Sandy yester day to see the country, and was de lighted. He went out the Base Line and returned through Gresham and by way of the Section, and declared he never haa seen a more beautiful and prosperous section: Opened by Mayor Rowe. The fair uiider the direction of St. Fran cis Catholic church, was opened yester day evening by Mayor H.iS. Rowe in the hall in the Holman building, Grand avenue and East Washington street, with well timed words. The hall was well filled. From the platform, T. A. Kin dred called the gathering to order when Mayor Rowe was conducted to the place of honor. Mr. Kindred said the Mayor had very kindly consented to grace the occasion with his presence. The Mayor was then introduced and he made a most excellent address. He said he had been informed the obect of the fair was to raise money to pay off the debt of the church, and also to carry on the work of the church in all lines. He commended the purpose and complimented the man agement, and especially the women, for the fine display in art and handiwork. In closing the Mayor expressed a hope that the fair would prove an abundant success. Rev. Father Black, rector of the parish, responded In fitting language, thanking the Mayor for the honor of his presence, and touching on the work of the church. Music for the evening was furnished by the following mando llnlsts: Miss Rose Zimmerman and Miss O'Nell; vocalist, Mies Bresldn; flutist, Mr. Straub; pianists.

Robinson president, is preparing for a big Republican rally tomorrow evening In Hunter's Hall, corner East Thirty fifth and Yamhill streets. The cars pass within one block of the-hall,, so those desiring to attend from thi city can do so. Hon. Claude Gatch, of Salem, has accepted an Invitation of, the club to make the address of the evening, and In this the club Is very fortunate. Mr. Gatch Is a prominent business young man of Salem. He was president of the Young Men's State League, ana made many friends by -his vigorous as well aa fair course while acting in that capacity. As a business man, his opinions are bound to have weight. The club extends a gen eral Invitation to the public to come out and hear a fair statement on the political situation. Miss Grace Holmes will sing. Help Hard to Hire. Much difficulty Is experienced in getting help to dig the potato crop. Penumbra Kelly said yesterday that he had been unable to hire white men at all, but was compelled to employ a lot of very inde pendent Chinamen and pay them $1 50 per day. They did not care about working for less and said they could get plenty to do, and so he had to take them. He does not know where he can get a team to haul the potatoes. This Is the expe rience of most all who have potatoes, men who want work being so scarce. Emit Side Notes. George Lewis, a business man and Democrat of Alblna, said yesterday that he intended to vote for McKInley. Under McKinley's Administration he said he has prospered greatly and does not want to take any chances. A farmer's, wagon was struck, by a street-car at" the Intersection of East Mor rison street and Union avenue yesterday afternoon and upset.

Deceased was a. teamster In -the Rogue River Indian "War. He lived in Lane County until 1880, when he went to Crook County, and followed the sheep business until 1801. Since that time he resided in Hood River Valley, and engaged in strawberry-growing. He leaves a widow and six children Robert E., Abraham N., "WInthrop A., Bernlce, Melville J. and Mary E. . there sought employment on a transport from Captain Lane and was refused. Captain Lane, who had read In the news papers about the murder of Kirk and that the suspect had one finger missing, no ticed that one of Warren's hands was minus a finger, and called his atten tion, to the fact Warren said he then went to see an attorney in San Fran cisco, who told him if he was innocent not to give himself up to the author ities; and the attorney, who was Ills cousin, loaned him $60, with which . he bought a ticket to St Louis. He said he worked in the Cleveland Iron Works at St Louis, and from there proceeded to Nashville, Louisville. Cincinnati and Washington, visiting his mother, at the latter place. At Savannah, the witness said, Warren assumed the name of J. L. Wilbur. Detective" Ford further testified that' when he and Detective Day reached St. Louis on their way back with Warren, they stopped t off for a day to inquire at the Cleveland Iron Works, where Warren had stated he was employed, and Warren then, asserted that the pcy roll, was not kept there, and said "it will do you no good to look It up." He dld'not know the name of the street whejje It was, nor any of Its officers.. The wit ness also testified that In Savannah Warren said he did .not stay "where h's wife was, but visited her In the even ing and sometimes at a place outside of the city. A. B. Clark, attorney for the defense, cross-examined the witness-very severely upon this latter statement, to show that Warren never told him any thing of the kind, and asked witness whether Warren did hot say his ,brother-ln-law had died while he was vthqre, but the witness did not remember such a statement Detective -Fcrd also testified regarding occurrences on the ship Clarence S Bt ment at the time Kirk was being carried out of his room to be taken to the hospital. Perry Rosensteln, who has a small store on the water front, tes'lfird that he went aboard the ship to 'drum up trade, and met Warren and the mate. Rosensteln stated that he was In the mate's cabin one day, when the latter had considerable money. as-he was pav ing off the men. He was sure Kirk had between ?500 and J600. He talked with Warren some, and knew of $2 that War-, ren said the mate had given him. R. F.

E. Keutemeyer, H. J. and .F. V. E. Epperson, charging them with tho murder of William Lunrut, a motion to quash the Indictment was argued by Ed ward Mendenhall, counsel for Keutemey er, In the criminal court yesterday. Judgj George took the motion under adv'ssmont. Tho Epperson boys were with Keut emeyer when he shot and killed Lunrut and their testimony before the Coroner's jury was that the killing was done in self-defense William Layfleld, who accom panied Lunrut, testified somewhat to 'the contrary. The Indictment of the Epper sons, accordlngito "this statement of facts. Is unfavorable to Keutemeyer's case. The attorney for Keutemeyer, In his ar gument contended that there was neither a charge nor evidence against the Ep persons before the grand jury; none of whom knew any facta against him; and the Indictment for these reasons should be quashed against them; and It being an. Indictment against all of the defendants it must be quashed as to all. Coursel also made the point that the grand jury having Indicted jointly with Keutemeyer all of hl3 eye-witnesses to the occurrence has rendered them incompetent to testify for Keutemeyer, as neither of the de fendants jointly Indicted can testify for the other before being acquitted or con victed; and .since. this has not occurred as to the Eppersons, It amounts to de priving Keutemeyer of his witnesses by an Indictment based upon no testimony at all. An authority upon the qiiest'onr was submitted. District Attorney Chamberlain argued in support of the indictment Judge George appointed Willlam-M. Gregory to appear" as attorney for &ho Epperson boys, ' -' COHrt Notes'.' Charles M. Morgan and Charles G. Cochran were admitted to practice in the United States Court yesterday.

MOREORIENTALSTEAMERS CARMARTHENSHIRE AND UNIVERSE HEADED FOR THIS PORT. Will Join the Eva la the Oregon Oriental Line Grain Steamer Chartered Marine. Notes. Two more of the steamships which will be used in the service of the Oregon & Oriental Steamship Company have been secured, and will follow the German steamship Eva, which was the pioneer vessel of the line. The new vessels will be the British steamship Carmarthenr shlre, and the Norwegian steamship Uni verse. The Carmarthenshire is a sister ship of the Monmouthshire, which is now listed for Portland In tho line which T. M. Stevens & Co. Is operating be tween Portland and the far East She Is a very fast vessel, and like the Mon mouthshire Is not as large a carrier aa some of the slower freight steamers of tho. same registered tonnage. She was built at Newcastle, England, In 1S87, and Is 329 feet long, 40 feet beam, and 25.1 feet depth of hold. She has powerful triple compound engines 27-43 and 70 Inches diameter qf cylinder, by 45 Inches stroke. Tho Universe Is a smaller and slower vessel, but Is a very heavy carrier for her tonnage. She was built at Sunder land In 1898 and Is 299 feet long, 42.5 feet beam and 20.2 feet depth of hold. Her engines are 22-36 -and SS Inches diameter of cylinder, by 39 Inches stroke. The Universe has recently been engaged as a transport In the service of the United States Government, but was released a few days ago. The Eva, which sailed from Portland for Hong Kong and Vla divostok a few 'days ago, Is the largest of the trio already secured. She carried on her maiden trip from this port 5200 tons of flour alone. Her dimensions are: Length 330 feet, beam 45.5 feet, depth of hold 23 feet 9 Inches. It Is reported that the company has secured other steamers of a similar type to the Carmarthen shire which will-be placed In the service as soon as the present trouble in the Ori ent abates, and business warrants the Improvement in the service TWO FOR A CHEW. Schooner Olcnnoffan Arrives nt Port Townsend Short -Handed. The schooner Okanogan. Captain Rensch. arrived here yesterday morning from HIlo. Sandwich Islands, says the Port Townsend Leader, with only two sailors. The cause of this shortage wa3 due to the fact that when the Okanogan was ready to sail from Hllo, three of her crew were arrested on a charge of mur der and the captain would have had to wait 10 days or more until he could have sent to Honolulu for men, so he decided that he could make the run with only two men and thereby save time. The fact that he arrived here without disaster Is evidence sufficient that he accomplished What he undertook, and that he made good time. During the voyage Captain Rensch took his watch at the wheel while only ohe sailor was on deck. This pair would change off with the mate and the other sailor, and It is said that everything during the voyage worked like clockwork. BRITISH GENERAL DISMASTED. French Baric Europe SpeaKs n. Well Known Vessel In Distress. Captain. Muller, of the French bark Europe, which arrived up Saturday, re ports speaking the British ship British General, ln,a dismasted condition between the Falkland Islands and the mainland. Her main topmast, and fore and mlz zen topgallant masts were missing, but she was still making fair headway In spite of her crippled condition. Her master asked for some rope, and Cap tain Muller gave .hlni a couple of colls. The vessel was en route from Punta Labos for Antwerp. She sailed from the former port June 7, and was spoken July 14 by a steamer which reported her off .the Horn. She was spoken by the Europe two weeks later, and her master an nounced his Intention of continuing his voyage to Antwerp without putting In anywhere for repairs, as he has been making fair progress after the accident happened. ANOTHER GRAIN STEAMER, Ol&n. Chartered for Barley From San Francisco With Option of Portland. The Austrian steamer Olga was char tered yesterday to load barley at San Francisco at 46s 3d with the option of Portland loading at 50s. This Is the first steamer that has been chartered for grain loading at San Francisco this season, and the figures paid show an Improvement In the freight situation In the Bay City." The differential demanded for Portland loading Is due to the fact that the setamer Is now en route for San Francisco from Java with a cargo of sugar, and It would cost an additional 3s 9d for the charges In port, pilotage, etc.. In and out of San Francisco, which would have to be paid, again. If the vessel'loaded In Portland." The matter of a loa'dlng 'port Is still open and there Is yet a possibility that the vessel will be sent, here, for In spite of the recent heavy arrivals of, tonnage there' Is an enormous amount of wheat accumulating at this port. CAPTAIN SCOTT:S LATEST. Wcll-Known Steambontman Builds a Fast Boat on Pnpret Sonnd. Captain Scott's latest marine venture, the propeller City of Everett, was launched at fthe port whose name she bears, last Saturday morning. She Is constructed on much the same plans as the steamer Flyer, which was built In this city about 10 years ago, and Is ex pected to be tho fastest steamer on the Sound. The steamer Is 150 feet long, 21 feet beam, and 10.5 feet depth of hold. Mayor Bell, of Everett, on behalf of the city, presented the new flyer with a hand some set of colors. The steamer will take the place of the Greyhound on the Seattle-Everett route and will make three round trips per day between the two ports. E. B. Scott, son of Captain U. B. Scott, Is manager of the company, which will operate the new steamer. Disabled in Mldocenn. BARBADOES. Oct. 15. The first officer and part of the crew of tho British steamer Hostillus have arrived here In a small boat to procure assistance for their steamer, which lies disabled with a broken shaft In mldocean. about 700 miles from this port" H. M. S. Indefatigable has sailed from this port In search of the disabled steamer. American Bark Ashore. LONDON. Oct. 16. A dispatch to the Daily Mall from Lourenco Marques, dated yesterday, says that the American bark Fred P. Litchfield went ashore there from her moorings Sunday night during tho gale and was searched yesterday for gold, In conseauence of a suspicion that she was carrying Mr. Kruger's gold to the amount of 1,500,000. They found nothing. Passenger Fares Go Up. BERLIN, Oct 15.-The North German Lloyd Steamship Company and 12 other steamship companies, according to a dls patch from Bremen, decided today to en force a 10 per cent increase" In passenger fares to India Australasia, China and Ja pan, In consequence of the Increase In the price of coal. Marine Notes. Captain Dan McVlcar, a well-known bar pilot of Astoria, was' In the city yester day. ' There are but-three wheat ships loading at Port Costa, and San' Francisco exports for the month will fall far short of those of Portland. The German transport Bosnia, which sailed from San Francisco for the Ori ent, last Saturday, carried 934 horses, 224 mules, 7193 bales of hay, 6545 centals of oats, 997 sacks of bran, and 44S sacks carrots. The Canadian Pacific Navigation Com pany will build a fast steamer for the Skagway route, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company will build two new river steamers to run between Nelson and Kootenai Landing. The British ships Conway and Dalcarnie arrived In Sunday afternoon, and left up yesterday morning. Both were chartered many months ago, and come under the head of cheap ships. In comparison with rates at the present time. Thefe steamship Columbia sailed from San Francisco on her regular schedule yesterday morning, and Is due at Port land tomorrow. The Columbia Is a very popular steamer with the traveling pub lic, and repairs were rushed In order to get her out on time. Another survey was held on the British ship Deccan.
