The feature of today's session of the United Mlneworkors of America was the annual address of President Mitchell. He cited the c-ndltl'ns which brought about the anthracite strike last September. "The growth of our organization during the past year," said the president, "has been almost phenomenal. In December, 1909, the membership was 1S9.329, an increase of 6,312, or 10S per cent. There- were organ ized and reorganized SOS locals, as against 477 In 1SS9." President Mitchell says that the miners should own their headquarters building, but suggests no city. The president fa vored contracts which would insure unin terrupted employment for a period of two years Instead of one, and recommended that the mlneworkers organization pro- i pose to the operators the formation or a joint board of arbitration and conciliation to adjust disputes -arising between oper- . ators and miners over the construction or Interpretation of the provisions of the joint agreement, when adjustment cannot be effected by the ordinary and estab lished methods now in force. Colifornin's Bis Orange Crop. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23. The Chron icle says: California's orange crop this -season promises to break the previous annual record. There will be between. 19.000 and a 000 carloads for Eastern shipment. The jrrert bulk of the product is credited to the citrus belt, which has Los Angeles as its shipping center. The southern counties will probably yield a total of be tween 19.000 and 20,000 carloads. The Northern citrus belt, of which Oroville is the shipping center, will produce be tween 900 and 1000 carloads of oranges. These are the latest estimates by the Southern Pacific Company.

NATION AT WORK. Demolished a Saloon In Enterprise, Kan. ENTERPRISE, Kan., Jan. 23 Mrs. Carrie Nation, the Wichita joint-smasher, began her crusade in Enterprise today by demolishing one joint and delivering a street lecture. Mrs. Nation went to Schil ling's place and attacked the glass door. She smashed the glass out of the frames and then stepped into the deserted joint, tleaving the others outside. She smashed the big mirror, chopped gashes in the bar and broke all the glasses and bottles on the shelves. Then she went to the refrig erator and commenced bringing out cases of beer. She handled them easily, and, lifting them high In the air, dropped them on the floor, deftly crocking each bottle left solid after the fall. She said she had only begun her work, and expected to cleanout many more places. It is re ported that she will move on Abilene to- morrow, and the Abilene Joint-keepers are preparing for her coming. About S:30, as Mrs. Nation was lectur- Ing on the streets. Mrs. Schilling, the wife of the man whose place of business was demolished, came up to her. "I've got you now," she said, and she struck Mrs. Nation twice in the face. A slight gash was cut over the eye, and It bled pro fusely. Mrs. Nation went to a neighbor ing house, had her eye bandaged, and continued her lecture on the street. lawlessness nt Tien Tsin. TIEN TSIN, Friday, Jan. IS. The United States transport Sumner, which has ar rived at Taku, brought 150 troops to re place Americans who had been invalided. Two deserters from the American troops, with an American flag, have re cently committed acts of depredation in the surrounding country, and have black mailed the villagers. Both were cap tured, but one succeeded in making his escape, and Is still at large. It is prob able that they will be shot. Three Sikhs, who wqre found guilty of similar acts, were t&kn to the scene of their depreda tions today and given 50 lashes each. Many lawless acts are being committed. A French soldier has been sentenced to a term of five years in prison for draw ing his bayonet upon an Australian po liceman.

COWES, Isle of "Wight, Jan. 21, 1 A. M. At 11 o'clock this morning the members of the royal family will gather around the body of the late Queen, which lies In a simple coffin In the chapelle ardente, festooned with red and white hangings. The Bishop of Winchester, standing be fore an altar removed for the occasion from the private chapel, will read a por tion of the service for the dead. The cof fin rests on a specially erected platform draped with royal purple, the feet lying to the east The head faces the simple altar. Over the features Is a thin veil. For a few hours before this service the public will be admitted to the room and allowed to view the remains of the sov ereign who for so long ruled over them. The body will rest there until Sunday, and it is probable that no removal will oc cur for 10 days. The correspondent of the Associated Press learns that the cause of the Queen's death, as officially given, was "senile decay." The doctors have adopted this expression as most suitable and truthful. They attribute the paralysis which at tacked her as secondary to the general weakness of her condition, nor is it con sidered advisable for reasons of state to intimate that her intellect was dimmed by that particular form of disease. Details of the Dying: Hours. Details of the dying hours were not ob tainable until last evening. It appears that the Queen was moved Sunday from her big bed into a small cot especially built with springs which was surrounded by a screen. This was to enable the doctors to reach the' patient easily on both sides, which was Impossible when she lay In a bed six feet wide. In this small bed she passed away. When Emperor "William arrived, he rushed In, without taking off his overcoat, to her bedside, and the first words he said were words of regret that his mother was unable to come. "Yes," murmured the Queen "I wish 'Vicky could be here," using a pet name of her ejdes daughter. Tuesday afternoon all the family were In readiness for the. .end. At. o'clock, -the' Prince of .Wales-waVS5nmoned!wHTilfI an hour later he was joined'by the other members of the family. At T 6'clock the Duchess of York arrived, and the Queen kissed her, saying, "I am glad you have come." Vne Bishop of "Winchester be gan to pray, 'ine Queen slowly sank into unconsciousness. At 6:15 P. M. the end was thought to have come. The Prince of "Wales and several others walked out of the room. But the vitality of the Queen once more won the day. For an other 15 minutes, with only the Princess of Wales and a few others present, the feeble spark of life was maintained. At 6:30 o'clock, with Emperor William, the Prince and the others present, death ac tually came. Death has softened the face, and the thin veil conceals no terrible defects. The hand of the mighty leveler dealt with her lovingly; and as the last visitation of nature has been mercifully mitigated, so also have been the pomp and glory which accompany the succession of the King. Tuesday night neither he nor his wife would allow their entourage to address them by their correct titles. A large force of detectives present from London Is a precaution against any an archist attempt on Emperor William, and not on account of the new King. Messages of condolence do not cease to pour in from all quarters of the globe. President McKinley's early cablegram created a most satisfactory Impression. It was handed around among the royal personages at breakfast yesterday morn ing with the general comment that Amer ican sympathy was fitly the first to be received. First to View the Remains. COWES, Isle of AVight, Jan. 23. Events have shifted from Covves to London. Os borne is a house of mourning, and Cowes is probably the quietest place in the United Kingdom today. The King de parted early. After him followed the army of officials and newspaper corre spondents. The King's departure was as unostentatious as that of an American President. He and his suite, in civilian attire, left the castle without a military escort and with no sign of pomp. Queen Victoria's body was embalmed last evening and occupied the center of the dining-room, which was hung with trappings of mourning. Outside two of ficers were on guard. Within, two In dian attendants remained in company with the ladles in waiting, who were con stantly present. The body is attired in black. The face is perfectly peaceful and the remains have been placed with the arms folded. On the breast rests a beau tiful gold cross. The head Is inclined slightly to the right. All about repose quantities of beautiful flowers. The honor of first seeing the body of the Queen was conferred on her personal retinue and such simple pathos as marked this ceremony could hardly have occurred in any other monarchy. All the servants and tenants were admitted. The footmen, house maids, coachmen, stable lads and policemen filed through the room for four hours. There were no formali ties. Bent old men, children and fam ilies who had grown up on the estate and who regarded Queen Victoria as a friend and patron, rather than as a sovereign, took their turn, and their grief was the sorrow of those who had lost a friend. In the meantime, many residents of Cowes, from the neighboring towns, and some prominent people applied at tne porters' lodge for admission, but they were told to come tomorrow. There Is no mis cueing the reality of the sorrow of Cowes. Emperor William and Princess Louise, the Duchess of Argyll, walked tb Wlp plngham Church this afternoon. Emperor William has ordered in Lon don two magnificent wreaths with broad ribbons, bearing the initials of Wmseif and the Empress, which he, personally, will place on the Queen's coffin at tomor row's service. By a special request of the family, the authorities of St. Paul's Ca thedral have sent to Osborne the six candelabra used at the funeral of the Duke of Wellington. The route from Osborne House to Trin ity pier was deserted, except for a few groups of bareheaded persons, when, at 9:40 o'clock, three open carriages drawn by white horses, gallopwf down the, hill. In the first carriage were, the- King", the Duke of York, the Dukes of Connaught and Prince Christian. The King looked well and bowed repeatedly in acknowledg ment of the greetings of his subjects. The royal personages Immediately embarked on the Alberta. The royal standard was hoisted as Che King touched the deck. As the Alberta started off signals were shown ordering that no fealutes should be fired. The crews of the cruiser Aus tralia and the other royal yachts well mustered as the Alberta steamed by. The commencement of the King's first voy age was a memorable and impressive event. Nothing has been decided at Osborne House regarding tho funeral arrange ments or the removal of the body, and nothing will be until the arrival of the King. The palace is painfully quiet this evening. There have been no arrivals or departures since the King left. The fam ily dinner party, like that of last night, was brief. Herr Fuchtr, the German sculptor, has arrived to take a cast of the dead Queen's face. It is reported that Emperor Willlanvwill remain in the Isle of Wight until the removal of the body, even if this should be postponed for a fortnight Edward Proclaimed King. LONDON, Jan. 24.

STILL NO CHOICE Little Change in Oregon Sen atorial Situation. C0RBETTLEADS,WFFH29 VOTES He and Smith-Each Gained One in Joint Convention McBride Again Had 10 Supporters Caucus Gaining Favor, 8ALEM, Or., Jan. 23. The first ballot In joint convention today showed a. net gala of on vote for Mr.' Corbett. It was rep : resented in Mat toon of Douglas, who was THE SEVENTH AND THE v QUEEN unavoidably absent yesterday. Mrl Mc Bride's forces held their own, with a total of 19, while Blnger Hermann lost one In the person of Representative Hemenway, of Lane, who helped swell Mr.,. Fulton's total strength to three. Senator Smith, the Democratic nominee, likewise advanced one vote, receiving Senator Sweek's bal lot. The minority candidate now stands as the only nominee before the Legislature whose party is solidly behind him- Except for the very excellent speech of Senator Mulkey, the joint convention was a humdrum affair. At 12 o'clock the Sen ators, led by President Fulton, marched across the Capitol to the House of Repre-sentati-ves. Speaker Reeder surrendered the gavel to the President, and the Joint AssPmblv was called to order without cer emony. The lobby was packed with a great crowd, which watched proceedings with a.most breathless Interest. The rolls ot the Fei ate and House were called, and every member was found to be present. Then the journals of the two houses were read, and It was found that no candidate for Senator had received a majority of votes in either branch. President Fulton announced that it was the duty of the assembled Legislature to proceed with another ballot, and called for nominations. The names of the various candidates were then submitted, and the vote at once taken. It -resulted as follows: H. W. Corbett 20 Votes. Senators 8. Adams, Johnston,. Cameron, Josephi, Daly, Mulkey, Howe, Steiwer, Representatives 2L Barrett, Mattoon, Briggs, MoCraken, Butt.

Representative L Dresser. When the result was announced, a mo tion to adjourn, was at once made and carried, the Senators filed solemnly out, and the lobby breathed again. Republican Caucus Gaining- Favor. The Republican caucus assembled again tonight for the purpose of discussing the situation and receiving the reply of the minority to their address. If any was made. The minority gave no formal an swer, but it seemed to be understood that their ostensible reason for staying out Is that a secret ballot was to be taken. Va rious members of the minority intimate that they are willing to go Into confer ence if a viva voce vote on the Senator ship is agreed to. The position of the majority has been that they will be sat isfied with any kind of a vote, and that was the sentiment expressed at the cau cus tonight. No effort was made to take a ballot, but ltwas resolved Informally CONSORT. to continue the effort to secure a full caucus. There were five absentees tonight, among them McQueene and Hemenway, who are both sick; Hartman, who was summoned home by the Illness of his daughter; Harris, who is said to have been detained by Illness, and Senator Smith, of Yamhill, who Is understood to be strongly in favor of the Republicans settling the Senatorship among them selves. Adjournment was taken till tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Just what will be done between now and then is con jectural, but the sentiment for a caucus Is doubtless stronger, and the way seems a little clearer between the minority and majority than it has been heretofore. THE NOMINATING SPEECHES. Presentation of the Various Candi dates for Senator. SALEM, Or., Jan. 23. In presenting Mr. Corbett's name, Senator Mulkey said: "Mr. President, Gentlemen of the Joint Convention: I desire to place In nomina tion for United States Senator the Hon. H. W. Corbett. In doing so I have rea sons that seem to me sufficient to warrant me in supporting him heartily end enthu siastically. An ideal Senator in our Na tional Legislature should be a man of peculiar qualifications. He should be a man of large experience in handling large questions, a man endowed by nature with the qualities of statesmanship that enable him to grasp with ease National ques tions, one who feels that his allegiance is first to the Nation and next to his state and section of the country. An Ideal Senator should be one who, in considera tion of a National question, allows state lines and sectional lines to vanish, and before whose mind the whole country stands out in overshadowing relief. In deed, he should be so broad in his Na tional ideas that, the whole country takes precedence of sectional feeling and sec tional demand. He should be guided by a principle so broad that he takes in little account his Immediate political necessi ties. His experience and his talents should carry him to a lofty altitude. where he can look out on an untraversed sea and point to the helsman of the ship of state In the true way. A Senator in Congress should be a statesman, not a man who, with a microscopic view alone, perceives local needs, but one who, Co-lossus-Uke, doth bestride our Nation and take within hi3 grasp the American com monwealth and states. Mr. Corbett Such a Man. "Mr. Corbett is such a man. He was in the United States Senate from Oregon. He was there during those days when the Nation was recuperating from the rav ages of war. The country was In poverty, yet with his left hand he wrung from an unwilling Congress the means that erect ed the first llgnthouses along odr shores, and the first money that deepened the Columbia River highway. With his right hand he gave aid and counsel in re-establishing the Nation's finances upon a sound basis. The battle for the resumption of specie payment was on, which tried the stoutest hearts, disrupted old friendships and erected barriers hotween brother and brother. Mr. Corbett, because of his well known aptitude for finance, was called into the innermost council of the Nation, and was personally helpful in bringing the old Ship of State out upon the waves on to the open sea. During the green back craze his pen was enlisted in behalf of National integrity, and wherever the fight was thickest and sacrifices were to be made, Mr. Corbett was found to be standing valiantly for National honor When the agitation of 1893 arose and the financial storm overspread the country, many of our bravest and most virtuous were swept off their feet. Again Mr. Cor bett's utterances were quoted on both (Concluded on Tenth Page.) NEHALEM RAILROAD' New York .Will Furnish the Money to Build It. PORTLAND TO FORM COMPANY Eastern Financiers Sent Represent!- tive to Investigate Enterprise, and He Reported Favorably Negotiated for Some Time. The movement for a railroad direct be tween Portland and Nehalem and Tilla mook Bays has taken definite fcrm. Tho names of '51 citizens of Portland- have already been obtained to contribute to the organization of a corporation to take up the project. Many others will bo added, so the enterprise will have sub stantial standing and at the same tlma show popular strength. The organization is to be perfected next week, and tho project will be vigorously pushed. For three months negotiations have been In progress between Portland men and prominent financiers of Now York for the construction of a railroad direct from Portland to Nehalem and Tillamook Bays as an Independent line, free from other railroad companies. After considerable correspondence and an examination of tho maps and plats of surveys heretofore made of two routes between Portland and Tillamook City, and of the estimates of the cost of construction, equipment, etc., which "had been previously submitted to them, the New York men concluded to send a representative to Portland to n vestigate the enterprise, and, If practi cable, to inquire why Portland did not undertake it. The agent arrived here after Christmas. It was explained to him that Portland people were In favor of tho project, but that the reason they could not undertake an expenditure of $1,500,000 to $L7o0,0G0 In building the road was that these sums were greater than this com munity could take out of its legitimate business channels for permanent lnvest menl. But Portland was found ready to co-operate with others in building tho road. Tho agent returned to New York and re ported favorably. Information has slnco been received that before the New. York people put a corps of engineers In the field to select one of the two routes al ready surveyed Into Portland and verify the cost of construction, it would be necessary for substantial men to organize a company and out of their own Jiumber elect a board of directors locally to man age its affairs. These are not to supply the capital for building the road, how ever. Accordingly, the following 51 sub- Istantlal residents of Portland have al ready signed an agreement to organlzo the Portland, Nehalem & Tillamook Kail- Way Company as a corporation of Oregon. H. W.

GOBLE, NEHALEM & PACIFIC. First Section of the Rond Will Soon Be In Operation. The first section of the Goble, Nehalem & Pacific Railway will soon be In operation. Six miles of the road have been graded and the ties laid, and tho rails are laid for nearly a mile. Tho crossing in the track of the Northern Pacific about a mile and a half above Goble having been completed, a 40-ton en gine was sent down yesterday, with the assistance of which the rails will soon bo down on the remainder of the section. Tho road will be in operation about February 1, delivering logs on the Columbia. A million feet or more of logs cut along the right of way will first be disposed of. Day & Bell.'who have hod a logging camp near Kalama, will move their plant and start a camp on the line of the road in a short time. The road has about 100 miles of good timber land ahead of it to run through to the Nehalem, and It is a foregone conclusion that the timber of that section is to be hauled out by rail to the Columbia River, a3 the entrance to the Nahalem River cannot be put in, condition for lumber shipments.
