INTERVIEWWITHTHESTATEAUDITGR He If Sure of 5000 Plurality for the State Ticket Complete Revolu tion, in Shoshone County. Bartlett Sinclair, State Auditor of Ida ho, arrived "In the city yesterday. Mr. Sinclair Is one -of the many Silver Repub licans of Idaho who has -dropped the -wotd silver -in, describing: his politics. Last night, in conversation with a representa tive of The Oregonlan, he yaid: . "The present state administration of. Idaho is composed of Democrats ahd for mer Sliver Republicans, the latter having all rejoined the Republican party. In Ida ho the Silver Republicans had -only one point of difference with the Republicans, and that was on the question ofbtat allsm, but now that an acceptable solu tion of that question has been reached, we are all back into the Republican par ty. It was well understood by the Re-j publicans, the Democrats and by the .Sil ver Republicans that as soon as the mon ey question should be settled, the, Silver Republican party would be dissolved. On all other questions, the Sliver Republicans of Idaho agreed with the Republicans. Now that the Nation has established a monetary basis, which we feel is perma nent, as a matter of honor and consist ency, the Silver Republicans have re turned to the old. party, and today in our state, many Silver Republicans are doing , tho very best service for the success of McKinley and the state ticket. "I have just been all over Northern I?a fco and Eastern "Washington, and have very closely studied the political situa tion in, those two sections. 1 feel that J can say that the majority of Republican votes in North Idaho will secure a Repub lican victory in our state, no matterhow the rest of tho state may gtf, but "as a matter of fact, South Idaho, with one or two counties excepted, is right-in 15ne for the National and state Republican ticket. The next legislature will be Re publican, Just as sure as an election is ,hold. "The most marvelous political revolu tion in our state, however, is that which is taking place in Shoshone County; this 4s the county where the Coeur. d'Alno jnlnlng-dlstrlot is'located. Tn "the hlsjtory of -the state this' county n'as either terrr radlcally Democratic or Populist The awful riots of that district In 1S99 were, I am almost Justified in saying, under the auspices of Populist county r officials, all of whom were arrested and removed. Today the county 4s so thoroughly'Repub llcan that it is not considered within the limits of possibility that a Democrat or & Populist could be elected. -This" has all been brought about by -a new and better population, and the determination of law-and-order Democrats to support tfie Re publican ticket. 'The Idaho Democrats tried very nara to pound the Populists into fusion Twlth them. Not succeeding, they at last drew off three of their best candidates and put three Populists in their places. They call ( this act of violence 'fusion in our state. A cleverer scheme for gaining office was never devised. There is not one po'nt .mentioned in. either platform of the par ties to this 'fusion -where there is agree Snent. "The State of Idaho is wonderfully prosperous just now. The vast, majority of our people seem to be satisfied with conditions, and -the Democrats have an up-hill contest. They are lukewarm and see defeat staring them in the face. Our etate will give McKinley and Stanrod 50C0 majority, and a Republican Legislature will be elected." Mr. Sinclair leaves tonight for Boise. EAST SIDE AFFAIRS. Improvements at Eat "Water Street Death of W. C. White. Considerable permanent improvements . are making near the Intersection of East "Water street and Hawthorne avenue, al though owing to the closing of Madison street bridge business is slack there. All the freight cars of the Oregon' City Ex press Company stop at this intersection. "Work is to be commenced toward prepar ing the dock on the south side of the bridge approach as a freight depot. At present, owing to the condition of the af fairs of tho road, only temporary shedding will be put up, so that freight cars can be switched on to the dock and be under cover. A spur extends out on the dock. After a time it is expected that the dock will be enlarged and permanent buildings erected there. This arrangement will ktep the freight cars off the street at the west end of the bridge, which will be appreciated by the public In the Johnston shipyard permanent marine -ways are" nearing completion. Only one more line of timbers is required. For this the piles are already driven. The ways may be converted into a marine railway by placing tracks on them and providing cradles with rollers for boats and power- for pulling boats out of" the Died From His Injury.- "W. C. White, the son of John W. .White, Who lives at 568 East Pine street, died In tho Good Samaritan Hospital Friday, Oc tober 18, from an Injury received by a fall five days before In the terminal grounds In North Portland. He had been in the employ of the Terminal Company ahd was engaged in the yard switching cars. While standing on the platform at the rear end, of a car he was thrown backward, striking on tho back of his bead and fracturing the skull at the base of his bran. He -was removed to the "hospital, where every attention was given him, but ills injury-was too serious for him to recover. Mr. White was 49 years old. He was a single man, and" shad lived In Portland only a short lime, Slaving traveled about much.

At Tenth and Gllsan streets he saw the four men and hailed them. One man started to run and rgotaway.

At the point of his . pistol he marched them to the Barr Hotel, where he held them until the patron wagon came. Motorman Patterson yesterday com pletely identified the three men as his as sailants.

At the station he ex plained he had a withered arm and needed a weapon to defend' himself from the hoboes. No evidence could, be found to hold them and they were set free. CITY WILL APPEAL. Judge Cleland's Decision in Vehicle License Ordinance Not Final. The officials around the City Hall we-e calmer, if- not more resigned, yesterday, and are rapidly recovering Iromtha se vere jolt given them by Judge Cleland's decision against the vehicle license law. Mayor Rowe says he can, stand it if the people can.v' He has no personal interest in the matter, but -thought he.was doing the best he could for the people, as he thinks it is to their Interest to have god streets. Personally he can get along with out any police or fire department, tut he intended to have the case appealed all the -same. x City Attorney Long had got his second -wind and was slightly on the war path. -He says the people will not have to do without ajiollce or fire department. "There are 'three things which municipal" corpo rations are specially , formed to provide: Maintenance of streets and police and fire protection," he said. "These are the principal" elements of every municipal government, and the power to employ his always carried with It the power to raise 'funds to pay.- . "The Police and Fire Boards have ab solute power to employ all necessary po- J llcemen and firemen, -and -to fix their compensation, and all the power required is vested Jn the Board of" Public Works to repair the streets. These officers when there Is money in the general fupd have the right to use it for the repair of streets. The charter, " so far as street repairs are concerned, expressly says the Council shall decide whether they will pay for a street repair out of the general fund or assess it to the adjacent -property. If not assessed to the adjacent property, it shall be paid for out ..of the general fund." "Our Supreme Court has held that the word 'shall, when'used In a statute with words of power or authority, shall ba construed as 'duty and obligation.' And where the Council says that a certain li cense tax shall be set apart and used, for the repair of streets, it simply means that so much money Is reserved In, the general fund for that purpose. For th Council o reserve sufficient of .these funds, and place them at- the disposal of the Board of Public Works, for the purpose of making repairs on" our streets" Is a plain, practical business question, and one that should have been adopted by our Council long ago."

Tkey Contrast Conditions "NqTrfWlth . 1800 wnd "Aslc No' Change of ' Administration, n , i It is not an 'extravagant assertion "to say that 90 per cent of the men work ing In. the East Side shipyards are in favor" of and will vote for the re-election of William McKinley. If" any one has doubt that this is "the proportion between tljesupporters of McKinley and Bryan among the 'carpenters in that por tion of the city, they can set the mat ter at rest by going among he men them selves and ascertaining J:he facts. While yesterday was" not a busy 'day in the shipyards. owing to the storm, it was found by a canvass -of the1 -three boat yards that more than 90 "per cent of tho regular carpenters employed -will ,vote the Republican ticket,1 and they do not hesi tate to state their reasons.

This class are more resolute supper term of the Republican ticket than the men who have always voted that way, for they, say they had been deceived. Twenty Oat of 24 for McKinley. At the old shipyard of Hale & Kern, south of East Clay street, there are -24 carpenters employed on the tug and deep sea barge of the Nehalem Lumber Com pany. Out . of these men, not over four are supporters of Bryan, while the others are stanch McKinley supporters. Fore man" McKa;, who . has charge - of' tfhe force, said his men are satisfied witn present conditions, and they do not want a change such a change as came eight years, ago, wfren the workdngmen-were carried 'off their feet "by delusive hopes and promises. "They remember," Bald Mr. McKay, "what their experience-was at that time, when, many of "them were glad to get a job.iat $1 50 per- day and mighty few jobs were found at that rate., The ship 'carpenters are men who think, and they understand the situation as well as any other class. 'They know what the free-silver craze., means for them, . and they do not want any more of it. There were some worklngmen In 1896 who thought lf there were free silver the Gov ernment would Jill their pockets with sil ver dollars, but they have learned dif ferently. I - have watched the drift of sentiment among the .carpenters, and am confident over 90 -per cent- are -for the Republican 'ticket this year." At this yard great difficulty has been experienced In getting men to carry for ward the work on the crafts under con struction. Carpenters are so generally employed they, are not to be had. In the Johnston Yard. ' . At the Johnston shipyard, which is crowded with work, and where men are wanted, there are 16 men employed. M;i Johnston, the proprietor, said he never saw. a time when It was harder to sret ship carpenters, a marked contrast with' the situation four years ago, when no river 'boats were under construction, and very few had '-Jobs at any price in the shipyards. Mr. Johnston said he did not interfere In politics, and the way, a man voted made no difference, provided he was a good workman, but among -the carpen1 ters he had employed during the 6urm mer arjd his- yard had been, full of work for the past year they had .been general ly favorable to the Republican ticket, as they-had come-to realize what lt-meant for them. It meant work at fair wages and. a full dinner-pall, a happy home, con entment and the necessaries of life. In this yard 90 per cent are against Bryan. In the Johnston yard 16 men are at work, but more would be employed if the right kind were to be had, but good car penters are employed generally.. Boattrailder's Statement. Joseph Supple, who has a" large ship yard on East Water and East Morrison street and where about40 "craft have been built or repaired since 1896, declared yesterday that over 90 per cent of-the men whb had 'worked In "-his yard" would vote the Republican ticket. "These carpenters," said Mr. Supple yesterday,, "are well-informed and intel ligent men. They know as much about the political situation as any other class Of men In the country, for they are the first affected - by . any change "of policy. They study the situation closely. They know what tho situation was four years ago, when, there was scarcely any ship building anywhere In the country, and when they were hunting for jobs. all over the -country, and -what it is now, when they are generally employed at fair wages. Tin my yard.are. between 16 and 20 men, and more than 90 per cent will vote for William McKinley, for the- reason' that they realize it means a continuation of prosperous conditions, while on tho other hand tliey know that the election of 'Bryan means the stoppage of boat building and work in the building line. The carpenters are a barometer in the matter of good times. A depression puts a stop to boatbuilding and the erection of dwellings everywhere the first thing, and this stops all collateral Industry. The carpenters know this as well as any one, ana tney will not take chances of a change at the coming election." -Advance in Boatbuilding. This lsthe situation so. far as the boat yards on East Water street are con cerned. It may. also be stated -that a number of steamers and 'craft are being figured on, but no more contracts will be let untiL after the election, and .if Bryan should happen to be 'elected they will be 'called .off.. Since.-J89C, in the ship yards of Portland, boat contracts aggre gating over 11,000,000 have been carried out. All -the. present shipyards have started up since 1896. During the four years before the election of Mclf Inley the Willamette shipyard, which during the Harrison Administration had flourished: closed down on the election of Cleveland.

John Wood, who recently bought in the machine shops on East jWater, between Morrison and Stark streets employs from 12 -to-15 men, 4id he reported syesterday that over 90 per cent were McKinley men. If .McKinley, be elected, this machine shop wdll enlarge. -A new building will be erected and the. plant enlarged in all di ictlonsT Mr. Wood Said Xbat nis name had been mentioned In connection with the nomination for the Legislature on the Citizens ticket, but witBoutVhlaJknowledgo or consent. 4 . , Railway Men. On- the East iSdde Railway, Including those employed on the cars, in the shops At "MUwaukle and. in the -repair work, there are between 50 and 60 men. A care ful count wa's made-hls w'eetf' by one who knows most of the men, and he says at least 75 per cent will vote for'MoKinley. LOWER RATES FOR, APPLES . i ' . ., f Special Figmrcs From Eastern Or ' egotx and Eastern' Wanhingrton. Material reduction has been made, for a shqrt time on green apples shipped in icarload, -lots from Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington to the East. The large crop of fine .fruit and the de sirability of getting It on the Eastern mar ket.moved the O. R. & N- and the North ern. Pacific to jlut in these' rates, .which will expire with the calendar year. To St. , Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha, Denver, Kansas City and Missouri River points the, new rate is 60 cents per 100 pounds' in carloads of 25,000 pounds" minimum weight. The regular tariff is ,75 cents to St. Paul and Missouri 'River points and"E5 cents to Kansas City. To Chicago and common, points north-of St. Louis the new rate is 73.4 cents per 100 pounds, ' the regular tariff being 89.2 cents. Several hundred" carloads" of apples "from O. R. & N. territory east of the Cascades will move East under the new rales. GRAIN SHIPPING RUIES. ' Formulated by New Yorls Produce Exchange Committee. NEW YORK, Oct. 19. James Simpson, chairman of the New York Produce Ex change .Committee, appointed to formulate rules governing the purchase .and sale of grain and food In carload lots for future shipment, has forwarded to all boards of trade.and grain exchanges throughout the country the' rules suggested by the com mittee. "Members of. the Now York grain trade greatly feel the 'need of adequate regula tions stating definitely the capacity of a car. It is claimed that almost invariably when the market aeclines, the Western shippers will secure one' of the modern largo, cars, making a heavy carload ship ment at' the reduced price; whereas If the market advances they take equal pains to sc'ure a small car. The rules , suggested by .the committee are in part as follows: . "The -term 'Immediate - shipment' shall mean that shipment shall be made within three business days from the date when shipping directions have been received by the seller. The term 'quick "shipment' shall mean that shlpnient shall be made within Ave business days from the date whenshlpplng instructions have been re ceived . by the" seller. The term 'prompt shipment' shall mean that shipment shall be made within 10 days (.exclusive of Sun days) from the date 'when Shipping direc tions have been received by the seller.. It ' shall be understdbd' where no specifi cation of shipment is named in contract 'prompt shipment' shall apply. ' "In- sales of grain and feed by carloads for future delivery, a corload"6f 'oats shall be deemed to contain 1500 bushels: of corn. 900 bushels; of wheat,"' SOO bushels,; of rye,, 800 bushels; of barley, 1000 pusfteis; or mill feeds In sacks, 40,000 pounds; of mill feeds in bulkj 30,000 pounds." WEST BOUND RATES. Tronic Line Officials Seelclne: to ' Maintain Them. NEW YORK, Oct. 19. For the purpose of considering what can be done to im prove the situation on westbound rates to Mississippi and Missouri-River points, the traffic managers of the various trunk llnesxare holding a protracted meeting at the offices of the Trunk Line Associa tion. A similar meeting was Jheld four weeks ago, at which the Western connec tions were requested not to Interfere .1th rates out of trunk-line territory. ,Althopgh as a result strict orders wcro sent out by those l'nes.to their Eastern agents to adhere absolutely to tariff rates, the Improvement in1 the situation has been slow, and is not yet satisfactory. It has thereiore been decided' to again send out notices Insisting on the elimina tion of 'all cut rates, and it! is understood that the tone of these nbtlces will he sufficiently severe to command. attention. It is hoped that the result frill be a com-' plete re-establlshment of rates within a f ew weeks. t ' That the desired object wHl be accom plished Is however .doubted by at least one representative of one of the lines In terested. - This representative seems to believe that there will be manipulation of rates so long as agents desfre to make a good showing, and that even a blind money pool, such as is In existence be tween trunk llne3 in westbound business, cannot prevent rate cutting. In support of this, theory he cites complaints from some of the smaller roads that they are not"gettlng their allotment "of freight, al though, of 'course, they are sure of ulti mately getting their percentage of the business In cash. - ATTEMPT TO WRECJcC TRAXW.

JT. Malarkey'R Salt Aeatnst Charles F. Lord for Salary. An ante-election contract entered Into between Charles- F. Lord, ex-DIstrlct At torney, and Dan J. Malarkey, was ex plained before a jury in Judge Frazer's court yesterday. Mr. Malarkey was suing to recover, from Mr. Lord several months' salary at $200 per month, for services un der him as Deputy District Attorney. Mr. Lord testified that prior to the elec tion In 1S96 they were both candidates for the office before the Republican conven tion, and. agreed to a compromise. Ma larkey at first wanted to divide the ,pro ceeds of, the office, but finally consented, to accept 5200 monthly, and a written contract was signed that he would be re tained for the full term of two years. Matters ran along smoothly until Decem ber, 1831, when- Malarkey caused to be published In the newspapers articles crit icising his. superior's action concerning tho indictment of William S. McKean. Malarkey had understood from McKean that he would plead guilty, but McKean afterwards refused to do so, and stood trial. Malarkey was displeased at the turn of events, and expressed himself freely, and Mr. Lord removed him from all active participation in the affairs of the office, but continued to pay him his salary. This ho ceased vto do in April or May, 1898, and Malarkey wants the bal ance which he asserts Is coming to him. McKean at his trial was acquitted. Mr. Lord, among other defenses, set up that the contract is contrary to public policy and void. The case was submitted to the Jury just before the adjournment hour. Property- Turned Baclc to Creditors. In the bankruptcy case of T. F. Golden, of Marion County, objections to the dis charge of petitioner were filed on tho ground that he had conveyed certain property in fraud of the creditors and hadfalled to turn over certain other property. The court ordered that the property conveyed to Mrs. Mary B. Steln er, the daughter of the petitioner, be turned over for the benefit of the creditors.'- Yesterday a stipulation was filed In the United States Court by coun sel -for the bankrupt and trustee, setting forth that Mrs. Stelner has convoyed all her right, title and Interest in said property In, compliance with the order of the. court, and. that an order of dis charge may now be granted by tho court.

(To the Editor.) Permit me to say to "Subscriber," whose communication appears In yesterday's Oregonlan. under the caption, "Authority Dubious," that If he will call upon F. McKercher, 242 Stark street, or myself. Fourth and Alder, he will get the In formation he desires regarding the source from which the facts touching Immoral conditions , existing in (Manila were gath ered. Furthermore, we beg to say that If "Subscriber," or any other reader of The Oregonlan, is In possession of an evidence of unimpeachable character which calls In question the absolute ac curacy of the statements made by Mr. Johnson, we can promise him free trans portation to Washington and ample com pensation for time spent In making the trip. The Administration, which for months has rested under these charges without "setting,. Up ope word of 'defense, will with out doubt be- more than glad .to pay any price within reason for any evidence 'Whatever upon" "which "to resClTdenlal. In view of the fact that so many per sons are by name directly chained with participating In the "debasing results of military rule," It Is remarkable that no one, from General Otis' secretary up or down, has offered one word of denial. The explanation doubtless rests in the .fear . that if they attack Mr. Johnson they will find him loaded with "personal reminiscences" that will be rich reading for ttoe American public, but decidedly uncomfortable for the person under dis cussion. Possibly the Administration feels absolutely certain of the moral vote of the Nation, and Is willing to let these statements go unchallenged as a means of commending itself to voters of the baser sort, without which It cannot hops for re-election. J. H. AMOS. Killed in a Collision. CAIRO, 111., Oct. 19. A switch engine on the Mobile & Ohio Railway collided with a freight near this city today, and C. C. Oliver, the Mobile & Ohio agent at Jones boro. 111., and Louis Pallozalla, of New Orleans, were killed. THE AMERICAN HABIT. One in Every Three Affected. Of the 75,000,000 people In America, it Is estimated that 25,000,000, or one In every three; are partially disabled from a broken down nervous system. America is the greatest consumer of coffee In the world. Can you draw the correct Infer ence from these two facts? Many a person will exclaim: "Non sense!" It Is easy for any thoughtless person to jump at a conclusion that a philosopher would study carefully over before reaching. Think of the members of your. own family; how many of them are perfectly and completely well In every respect? How many of your friends are perfectly healthy? Inquire of them and you will be surprised to learn that the average of one In every three, who are sick, In the main, stands true. Health depends, primarily, upon a perfectly polsed nervous organization, and the greatest known enemy to the nervous system Is coffee. Its active principal is caffeine, which Is pronounced nerve de stroyer. The action Is, first, to attack the stomach, then the pneumogastrlc nerve which lies behind the stomach and which Is directly connected with the brain. The disordered condition passes thence from the brain to all parts of the body, and In some It will show In trepidation (well known nervous condition). In others this Is hidden, but the work goc3 on from day to day, until somo day the accumu lation of forces climaxes In some or ganic disease. It may be the kidneys be come affected and Bright's disease sets up, It may be weak eyes, may be ca tarrh, stomach trouble, palpitation and heart failure, (which Is becoming more and more noticeable among Americans). .Somewhere, you may depend upon it, this work will show forth In the form of disease. "It may become so fixed and chronic that It cannot be thrown off. It Is hard to Induce a man or a woman to give ,up coffee when they have beqome addicted to Its use, but It such people can be given Postum Food Coffee, they will quickly change for tho better, for the food . drink, when properly made, has even a more beautiful color than the or dinary coffee, and has the delicious, toothsome flavor of old government Java of the milder and higher priced grades. The work of reorganization begins at once, for' the tearing down element of coffee has been eliminated, and In its place the-strong rebuilding effects of the elements contained In the food coffee go directly to ,work to rebuild the broken down delicate gray matter In the nerve centers and brain. This Is Just plain, old-fashioned common sense that any thoughtful person can make use of; In fact, hundreds of thousands of brain workers in America have already discov ered tho"fact and are using Postum Food Coffee, to their vers- creat benefit and relief,- or i REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN IN BEHALF OF file and Roos&velt JThe Republican State Central Commlttoe ot Qreson announces the following assignments of speakers for the Presidential campalcn of 1000: JUDGE: GEORGE H.
