THE 'MORNING OREGONIA!N, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 190C. SHIP SUBSIDY BILL Senator Frye Believes It Will Pass This op Next Session. HEAD OF FOREIGN COMMITTEE Maine Senator Has No Desire to Sac ceed Caaliman Davis Army Reorganization Bill, tEWISTOX, Me., Nov. 28. Senator Fry started for Washington today with Mrs. Frye. The Senator said he hoped to see the shipping bill enacted this Winter, but was not oblivious to the fact that the opposition might Interpose parliamentary tactics to prevent final action. He said that he had no doubt the shipping bill would pass a little later, even if defeated at this session. The Senator expressed confidence that Maine would not lose a Congressman under the new census ap portionment. When asked about the chairmanship of the foreign affairs committee made va cant by the death of Senator Davis, Sen. ator Frye said: "It Is true that the chairmanship of the foreign affairs committee would nat urally fall to me, but I think the com merce committee, at whose head I am. Is of more Importance just now, and that I can best serve the country and Its great commercial Interests by continuing in my present position. The Interests of New England In this matter are great." Asked what his views were on the pres ent Issue with Turkey, the Senator de clared, that if strenuous measures were necessary there would be nothing to pre vent the war vessels of the United States from making a trip up the Dardanelles, as the United States is not a party to the European concert touching the guar dianship of the Mediterranean gateway of Constantinople. THE ARMY BILL. Department Officials Agree on Es sential Features. NEW YORK, Nov. 28. According to a special dispatch from Washington to the Tribune, a virtual agreement upon the essential features of proposed legislation for the Army was reached last night by War Department officials, with the Pres. ident's approval, and that of the Congres sional leaders. It provides for a perma nent standing army organization with a minimum strength of 50,000, to be In creased as occasion demands by doubling the size of the companies In the discretion of the President as Commander-in-Chief, and subject to the limitation of annual appointments. The new organization will have suffi cient officers, about 4000 In excess of those at present In the regular establishments, to meet the requirements. The companies may be Increased to HO men each with out additional officers. Permanent allow, ances will be made for 18,000 artillerymen in regimental organization, who are need ed to care for the coast defenses. The framers of the adopted plan favor empowering the President to enlist na tives in the Philippines not to exceed 15. 000 men, as needed, to be organized In regiments with American officers, after the English manner of fighting rebellious natives with their own "people. General MacArthur has urged this step, and gives assurances that he can easily select ex perienced officers from the volunteers In ills division, and will have no difficulty In getting desirable enlistments for an ef ficient and loyal native contingent slml Jar .tothe Macabeba .Cavalry, now 600 etrong. A permanent organization 50,000 strong is confidently believed to be Insured, not & doubt being expressed by War Depart ment officials and Congressional leaders that the House and Senate are prepared to agree promptly to the new military basis As to tho elastic features. Involv ing the discretionary power of the Pres ident to Increase the size of companies to not more than double their strength, there Is some doubt. Legislative Appropriation Bill. WASHINGTON. Nov. 28. Colonel Liv ingston, the senior Democratic member of the House committee on appropria tions, today expressed the opinion that the legislative, executive and judicial bill would be ready to be reported to the House by next Monday. He said that the aggregate of the bill would far exceed that of the bill as reported to the Houso at the last session of Congress. STATE PRESS COMMENT. f There is little use in talking about the reorganization of the party In opposition to the Republican party until the latter gives the opposition some live National issue upon which an Intelligent majority can unite. So long as the administration of National affairs is honest, faithful and conducive of general prosperity, it will be left In the hands of the Republican party. Salem Statesman.

Immigration Is needed In Oregon and the whole Northwest, and nothing would advertise our resources to better advantage than a trans-Pacific exposi tion, conducted in a manner to bring vis itors from all parts of the world.

The business men. and, in fact, the whole people of Portland, are alive to the proposition of holding an exposition In 190 that will scarcely be surpassed by anything ever held on the Pacific Coast. An exposition of this magnitude would advance the entire Northwest. Lakeview Examiner.

La Grande Jour nal. All Oregon is rejoicing at the fact that the O. R. & N. has secured two of the largest steamships ever yet sailed on the Pacific for its new Oriental line from Portland. "This news," said a business man today. "Is particularly gratifying to the Inland Empire, because it demon strates that the Columbia River will be kept open to navigation; that ships will continue to come as far Inland for cargo as possible, and that we can still expect to see the largest ocean vessels, which are the cheapest carriers, take our prod ucts 100 miles Inland.

The Nation Is now looking to President McKlnley and the Republican party for "a sign" relative to the policy to be pu. sued In the Philippines.

Harry Varden will make a flying trip to Colorado be fore sailing for home, December 15. The Denver Golf Club has been trying for some time to get him for an exhibition match, but he declined to make so long a trip for one game. The golf club at Colorado Springs (recently requested a Varde.1 match, and plans have been per fected so that Varden will leave the city for Denver on Monday. The return trip will he made one week from that date, giving him two or three days in New York before sailing for home. Varden is evidently disappointed in not being able to reach the Pacific Coast, but that plan had to be abandoned. The Chicago professionals, "WIMe Smith and David Bell, are going to make a tour of the Pacific clubs, and Varden a short time ago wrote to Smith expressing a wish to meet him In some matches on California links. Varden, It seems, Is not going to remain long In his native country. He will re turn to America early In the year and there la some talk that he will settle here permanently. Admiral Rodgers Assignment. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. Secretary Long said today no change Is contem plated In the command of the Asiatic sta tion, and that the detail of Rear-Admiral Frederick Rodgers to duty on that sta tion was merely for the purpose of giving Rear -Admiral Remey, the Commandant of the Jtatlon, a much-needed assistant. Rear-Admiral Remey, as the senior offi cer, will continue In supreme command of the naval forces, and will act In the character of general manager of the op erations of the fleet, which will be di vided Into two divisions, one operating In Chinese water and the other In the Phil ippine Archipelago. Admiral Rodgers Un doubtedly will be placed In command of the China fleet. No .Application From Eagan. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. Officials of the War Department deny positively that Commissary-General Eagan. now under suspension from the Army, has been rein stated. It is further stated that General Eagan has filed no formal application to have his sentence set aside. It Is under stood that General Eagan might be rein- stated at any time upon condition that he would accept immediate retirement, but ho has shown no disposition to accede to such an arrangement. i A Peculiar Salt. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28. A peculiar suit was filed in the Superior Court to day by Henry Baach. who seeks to re cover from Lewis Andersen & Co. 525,000 damages for the death p'f his son. who was drowned October 5 last, while whaV ing near Point Barrow. On the date mentioned a whale was sighted, and young Baach, against his protest. It is. alleged, was forced into a boat to pursue the whale. The boat capsized, and he was drowned. Racinjr Permitted at Bennings. CINCINNATI, Nov. 2S. The American Turf Congress, by a vote through the malls, has decided to allow Winter racing at Bennlngs, and therefore will rescind section 6 of the by-laws.

Scotts, of San Francisco, "Want Their Share Cabans Must Wait for ' Their Independence. NEW YORK, Nov. 28. Eleven armored ships, to cost about 566,000.000 when fin ished, are attracting shipbuilding experts to the Navy Department this week, says a Tribune special from Washington. They will make final studies of the plans and specifications to win In the great com petition 11 days hence, when the bids will be opened for perhaps the largest construction contracts ever undertaken at a single time by the Government. The amount at stake at noon on Decem ber 7, according to the Congressional ap propriation for hulls and machinery alone will aggregate 542,000,000, and within this sum the bids will be confined, the re maining $2i.000,000 required to furnish the guns, armor, equipment and stores of the M'NAIR DEAD. J .vessels being reserved by the Navy De T partnient for expenditure after the ves I sels are launched and nearly ready for service. Certainty of big competition has been brought about by the peculiar wording of the two appropriation acts authorizing the ships and by the delay In designing the two classes of cruisers and battle ships on which the Department took ad vantage in stipulating that all bids be opened on a single day. The act of March 3, 1899, provides for three battle-ships and three armored cruisers and the act of June 7, 1900 added two more battle-ships and three armored cruisers, each class under both acts being Identical and the limit of cost for hulls and machinery for each vessel being 53,600,000 In the case of the battle-ships and 54,000,000 in the case of the cruisers. The probable distribution of the con struction of the 11 big vessels has be come very Interesting, in view of an in terpretation of the two acts of Congress by Judge Advocate-General Lemley, of tho Navy. He finds that the Pacific Coast, under the two acts, can secure three battle-ships and one cruiser, or three cruisers and one battle-ship, or two battle-ships and two cruisers. The Coast is entitled to not more than four ves sels, being limited to two under each act. The remaining seven vessels must be built on the Atlantic. Each act Imposes additional restrictions as to the num ber of vessels which may be built by one contracting party, and In this particular, sccording to Captain Lemley's finding, a bidder on the Atlantic may secure as a maximum four battle-ships and two cruis ers, or four cruisers and two battle-ships, making In all six vessels, but no bidder can secure three of one type and three of anothef, or five of one type. The Scotts, of San Francisco, declare they want more than four ships and If their bids appear to entitle them to more than that number, the Secretary of tho Navy will submit the matter to the Attorney-General for disposition, and lfH this goes against them, the builders of the Oregon will appeal to Congress to place them on an equality with their Eastern competitors. CUBANS MUST WAIT. Resnlt of Root's Trip Will Be Post ponement of Independence. NEW YORK, Nov. 28. As a result of Secretary Root's recent Inspection of Cu ba, says a Herald dispatch from Wash ington, It seems certain that no legisla tion contemplating Independence for the island will be recommended to Congress for enactment during the coming session, and that Cuban affairs will be permitted to drift, Secretary Root's trip was undertaken in the interest, of his health, but he took advantage of the opportunity to examine the conditions which are the outgrowth of American rule. "My trip," Mr. Root said last night, "was simply a continuation of that which I made last Spring. At that time 1 rislted the western part of Cuba and examined conditions prevailing there. 1 desired to see for myself the conditions existing in Eastern Cuba and went di rectly to that part of the island. "I found the people generally peaceful and contented and pursuing their ordi nary avocations. The island is growing steadily more prosperous and the people eeem to be satisfied." "What was the sentiment In the east ern part of the island In respect to an nexation or Independence?" the Secretary was asked. "I can't answer that question," Mr. Root responded. "Is the Cuban Convention making progress in the preparation of a constitu tion?" "I did not nave an opportunity to at tend the sessions of the convention. You know my trip was devoted to the east ern part of the Island, and all I can say Is that conditions there were much the same as I found them last Spring in the western section." This reference to his Investigation in the western part of the Island Is taken to mean that Mr. Root has found that pfac- tlcally all Cubans arc trying to acquire education In the art of self-government and that they are not Impatient to as sume the direction of Inejr own affairs. At the same time it is said he appre ciates that the great mass of the Cu- bans desire to try the experiment "of self government even If the experiment should fall and annexation to the United States should follow. It Is said also that Mr. Root does not believe annexation at this time Is a prac tical question and he Is giving it no con sideration. He would not discuss any such question last night. ' Survey of Panama Canal. NEW YORK, Nov. 2S. It is probable, says a Herald dispatch from Panama, that the officers of the United States gun boat Bancroft which Is now at Colon, will come to Panama to survey the La boca pier and approaches to the canal entrance on the Pacific side from Colon. Tho Bancroft herself will go from Colon to Bocas del Toro on an expedition in connection with the Isthmian Canal sur vey. - , . The arms for the Honduras Government, which were temporarily detained at Pana ma on suspicion that they were intended for the Colombian rebels, haVe been de livered to the Panama Railroad Company. They will be forwarded Immediately. Ordered to the Culgoa. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.

Father of the Law Interposes a Vig orous Defense of It PRINEVTLLE, OriT Nov. 24. (To the Editor.) As Introducer of tho bill I have carefully noted from time to time the drift of eentlment as expressed in your columns and elsewhere. In reference to the state scalp bounty law. To use your own editorial language, In your dally Issue of November 23, I have seen It "bob up serenely" a number of times during the past year and a half, then disappear and drift along again. And I had thought of letting it "bob," and say nothing, hoping that the disease would finally run its course, and that nature would finally assert Itself and over come the prejudice that existed In the beginning. However, Instead of curing itself, the malady seems to grow In virul ence with age. Indeed, present symptoms point plainly to rather a chronic state of affairs In some parts. Merely to turn, the patient over. In order to diagnose the other side a little, to see how It is getting along, I wish, with your permis sion, to submit a few statements. I desire first to correct a wholly erro neous and damaging statement which Is going the rounds of the press, to the effect that Crook County has not ony not paid its proportion of that particular state fund, but that It has also refused to make the required levy that It totally ignores the law. Not one word of such a statement is correct. Crook County has not only levied, but collected and turned into the hands of the State Treasurer its entire share of that fund. Without consuming time and space to enter into details as to the" enormous destruction of property by predatory ani mals in Oregon Eastern Oregon In par ticularor undertaking to give a detailed history of the many local attempts at so-called "eelf-help" ail over, the state to rid ourselves of these destructive pests, I will make the statement that none of Its promoters have ever claimed In. behalf of this law that its direct benefits are equal ly distributed between the different coun ties of which the state is composed. Neither can I call to mind a single law in' this state wherein money is appro priated that such money is distributed equally between the counties. Should strict adherence to such a prin ciple b& insisted upon, and followed out, the doors of every state institution In Oregon would be closed, the State Peni tentiary and Insano Asylum included, on the 1st day of January next. Such a proposition is preposterous and needs no argument to contravert it When tho scalp bounty bill was pending In the lower house, a certain member a nice, old gentleman from one of the Valley counties, interposed some such ob jection, to the measure. He was Imme diately reminded that his own county had had its shout Into the state crib up to its eyes for 10 years- or more. "He sub sided. Whon the vast and varied Interests that are vitally affected, when the amount of benefit that must accrue from some such law, If adhered to; when ail is summed up and given due consideration, surely no doubt can remain of its material benefit to the state at large. Especially is this the case when compared with many other state expenditures. There might be room for a difference of opinion as to the con stitutionality of the present law, for it has not yet stood the test of the Supreme Court, but the merit and propriety of the measure could not by any possibility be called In question. I say the law has never stood the test of the courts, but I overlooked the fact that one court- has passed upon It, A County Court over In Polk County, so the papers said, at one of Its sittings last Fall, declared "the state scalp bounty law unconstitutional," and "therefore" refused to comply with said law. I have since thought the local paper that in dited that particular piece of County Court news, must have been In error. For I have looked in vain from that day to this to find where that County Court passed on the constitutionality of a cer tain other law which appropriates some 530,000 of state money about every two years for a certain school somewhere over there In Polk County. I believe It Is at Monmouth. Perhaps that particular law Is "constitutional." Marlon County Is said to interpose a serious objection to the state scalp bounty law. I am the last man to go back on Marlon County. And, while it is not con sidered In good taste for a legislator to be announcing In advance what measures he win support and what not, I wish It un derstood here and now, that If 5900,000 or thereabout of state money Is not enough to be spent In one Oregon county, I am willing for old Marion to stick her spoon in some more, for I was reared in that county. And I read in the papers, that Mult nomah County takes exception to this law. It appears from statements I have read, that Multnomah County bases her grievance upon the ground that she does not get as much direct benefit from that law as Eastern Oregon, or words to that effect. Now, that Is bad really, too bad. Did It ever occur to the man who would advance such an Idea that a very large part of the City of Portland would not be on the map today were It not for Eastern Oregon? Did such a man ever take a position anywhere along the Co lumbia gorge and note the passing steam boats and count the miles and miles of freight cars that pass each way every 24 hours, loaded with merchandise from and produce to the City of Portland; and all, or nearly so, from Eastern Oregon? Does he realize that while Portland claims third place in the United States as a wheat-exporting point, that there are sin gle counties In Eastern Oregon which furnished more of that wheat the "past Summer than the whole Willamette Val ley put together? Did he ever consider that all we have, and are, begins In Portland and ends at the same place? And that Portland, which Is Multnomah County, owes It to herself as well as to us. to allow us to do business on business principles? No, there can.be no question whatever about the merit of that or a much similar law. It might be a good Idea to amend It in some particular, but so long as Or egon Is Oregon, so long as this state Is composed of such widely diversified in dustries, and covers such a vast and varied territory, some such measure should be found among our statutes; not only should be found upon our statute books, but should be enforced for there's the rub.

According to the Report of an Agent In Utah Governor Thomas Misinformed. WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.-Some inter esting correspondence has taken place between the Interior Department and Governor C. S. Thomas, of Colorado, and Indian Agent Myton, of the Uintah and Ouray agency, in Utah, as the result of reports of incursions of Indians on Colo rado lands In quest of .game. Governor Thomas has sent several telegrams to the department complaining of the alleged depredations, while Indian Agent Myton has reported that the Colorado game war dens In at least one instance shared in the unlawful sport. Governor Thomas, November 19, after some fruitless correspondence regarding Indians alleged to be slaughtering deer in Colorado, wired: "There is authentic Information from game wardens that Indians are still in Rio Blanco County slaughtering deer. This condition cannot be endured by set tlers long. If the Federal authorities can not remedy this evil, the state authori ties must, and at once." Agent Myton, in response to telegrams, wires that from all he could see and hear there had been about 25 Indians hunting in Colorado at one time or an other during the. Fall; that he started them all home, and was assured by the police that they had all left the state; and, moreover, that he had not heard of a single case where the game warden had ordered the Indians home, and one of the Indian police had Informed him that a deputy warden actually went hunt ing with the Indians. Commissioner Jones, In reporting to Secretary Hitch cock, said: "I am convinced that Governor Thomas has been misinformed, If not purposely deceived, as to the true situation. It is difficult to reconcile the zeal of game wardens in sending sensational reports to the Governor regarding the conduct of Indians with the, fact that not one of these appears to have made the slightest effort whatever to Induce the Indians to desist from the alleged unlawful slaugh ter of game, but that, if the Indians are to be believed, the deputy game wardens fraternized with and professed friendship for them, telling them that but for the opposition of their agents they might come to Colorado." Secretary Hitchcock, November 23, wrote Governor Thomas, expressing the hope that if these Indians return or oth ers are found hunting in violation of the law, they will be arrested and punished by the courts.
