.;THB- MOftNTNG OKEGONIAN, MONDAY. FEBRUARY, 18, 1901.' CAUSES A BIG STIR Bill to Reorganize Washing ton National Guard. SEEMS LIKELY TO SUCCEED Would Altolitch Brigade Orfirnnlxrttien anil Office of Brlprndler-Gcncral, Ilnve 12 Inntend of 10 Com- pnnle mid Cut Soldier' Pay. OLYMPIA. Wash., Fob. 17. The bill in troduced at the Instance of Adjutant General Drain to reorganize the National Guard, has caused a big upheaval In the militia, and several of the proposed changes are meeting with strong opposi tion. The three provisions of the bill most in controversy, all of which were Indorsed by Adjutant-General Drain, are as fol lows: 1. The abolishment of the brigade or ganization and the office of Brigadier General. 2. To reduce the organization from 16 to 12 companies, the Governor to decide what companies shall be mustered out. 3. A reduction in the pay, while on duty, from $1 50 to $1 per day. The brigade or ganization, the presiding genius of which is Brigadier-General Mclntyre, of Seat tle, Is a relic of the days when the state had two full regiments of militia. For all practical purposes the organization is useless, and serves merely to give high sounding titles to the "staff" of the Brigadier-General, and to make a gorgeous display of brass buttons and flashing epaulets on parade days. In case of trouble or riot, either Colonel Weisen berger or one of the Majors would be placed in command of the field troops. Unfortunately for those who desire to put the militia on a sensible basis, how ever. Chairman Rawson, of the House committee on military affairs, is one of the men upon whom G-eneral Mclntyre has bestowed a title, that of Lieutenant Colonel, and Mr. Rawson Is making a vig orous fight on the proposal to abolish Mr. Mclntyre's office. Governor Rogers, Adjutant-General Drain and Colonel Wels enberger. the latter a veteran of the Philippine War, and now In command of the regiment of militia, are all for abol ishment, but Mr. Rawson, rather Col onel Rawson, is making them all sorts of trouble. Adjutant-General Drain believes that an organization of 16 companies is unwieldy. He desires the regulation size regiment, to consist of three battalions of four companies each. His aim is to make the regiment correspond i" -' organization and efficiency as nearly as possible to a regiment of United States regular In fantry, and to dispense with gold lace and frills. In this he has the support of the Governor, who desires a well drllled organization that will be a credit to the state, and that, in case of need, can instantly be placed in the field. Adjutant-General Drain advocates a re duction in pay because he wants an or ganization that will be made up of en thusiasts on military matters, young men who are willing to put In long and ardu ous hours In the mastery of military tac tics, and with whom the question of com pensation cuts no figure. All three of the reforms mentioned are meeting with op position of one kind or another, but it Is believed that they will be put Into effect nevertheless. Representative Ulmer has not yet In troduced his bill for the abolishment of the State Board of Audit and Control, but It is already drafted, and is In the hands of lawyers who are examining Its constitutionality. The Board of Control at present is appointed by the Governor. This gives the control of the state institutions to the Governor, who is a Democrat, while the Legislature is Republican. Mr. Ulmer's bill proposes to create an executive council consisting of the Gov ernor, the Lieutenant-Governor and the Auditor, to handle the state Institutions. This would give the patronage to the Republicans. Not all of the Republicans by any means are favorable to the plan. First, because they believe it is uncon stitutional, and second, because they fear that an attempt to deprive the Governor of his prerogatives will react. The op ponents of the scheme base their con stitutional objection on section 1 of article 13 of the state constitution, which reads: "Educational, reformatory and penal in stitutions: those for the benefit of blind, deaf, dumb or otherwise defective youth; for the insane or idiotic: and such other Institutions as the public good may re quire, shall be fostered and supported by the state, subject to such regulations as may be provided by law. The regents, trustees or commissioners of all such insti tutions existing at the time of the adop tion of this constitution, and of such as shall hereafter be established by law. shall be appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate: and upon all nominations made by the Governor, the question shall be taken by the ayes and noes, and entered upon the journal." The Rogers administration already has a bill In to reform the board of control. This bill provides for the appointment of a board by the Governor, to consist of a commissioner of public Institutions, who is to be paid, as at present. $2000 per annum, and two other members, who shall be allowed a per diem of ?3 and actual expenses while engaged in official business. The bill further provides that no more than two of the members of the board shall belong to the same polit ical party. This bill was Introduced In the House by Merrltt (Dem.) of Spokane. The present board consists of the Gov ernor as chairman and four citizens, who are allowed only actual expenses, and the Commissioner of Public Institutions, who is paid an annual salary. The bill to create a new county out of portions of Yakima and Klickitat Coun ties has already passed the House. The name of the new county Is to be River side. A strong lobby is here against the bill, consisting almost entirely of citi zens of North Yakima, who assert that there Is no necessity existing for the new county. It is said that the owners of the townslte of Prosser, which Is to be tne new county seat, are behind the scheme. One of the heaviest owners of realty at Prosser Is Levi Ankeny. the wealthy Senatorial candidate from "Walla "Walla. One of the hardest workers for the di vision Is Representative Nelson Rich, of Yakima County, who lives at Prosser. Rich's own friends admit that he was elected on a pledge to oppose division, and Mr. Rich does not deny the im peachment. He is heavily Interested in Prosser. real estate. It Is admitted that if the division bill does not pass the Sen ate. Mr. Rich's political career In Yakima County is at an end. If the bill passes he will probably be sent back by the people of Riverside County as a mark of esteem and gratitude. The proposed new county has upwards of 2000 population, and the law requires Jt to have but 2000. It also has about $1,500,000 worth of assessable property, and is rapidly filling up with Immigrants. No body seriously questions the ability of the county to support Itself. Last week Representative Lewis, of King, Introduced two certain bills at the behest of some Seattle business men. The day after the business men In question are said to have stated that they were called up by certain persons In Tacoma and told that they must furnish two votes from the King County delegation for cap ital removal, one vote for each bill, or that Pierce County would vote solidly against their measures. This statement is vouched for by -Mr. Lewis himself, and if true. It- shows that -Tacoma is becom ing desperate on the capital proposition. To all appearances the removal proposi tion is as dead as a mackerel. It is not assured by any means that the House will pass the bill to purchase the Thurs ton County Courthouse for capltol pur poses. That Is a horse of another color; but It will take a strong battery to gal vanize the removal corpse into a semb lance of life. Poor, long-suffering Tacoma! At the outset It lost the speakership fight. Then the railroads, whose Interests it has served faithfully during all the long years of statehood, traded It off on the capital proposition, and the Senate passed the Ruth bill. As a further addition to its woes, the reapportionment committee has reported a bill that alms a body blow at what little political prestige It has left, and to cap the climax. Its delegation has an Internal war .so fierce that Senators Hamilton and "Warburton scarcely speak to each other, and all the time the Tacoma newspapers are berating the entire dele gation as traitors to their homes and firesides. For the past several years Ta coma has enjoyed unwonted political power and emoluments, but with this Legislature Nemesis has come, and the painful and Inglorious end will evidently not be long delayed. A funny thing occurred In the House laBt week. Representative Chalmers, of Clark County, has a hobby. It Is ventila tion. On the day in question he sum moned a page to his desk, and told him to ask the sergeant-at-arms to open some of the windows. The page did as re quested, and the sergeant-at-arms re plied: V "Go to Bedell and tell him to do It," meaning thereby to go to the assistant s ergeant-a t-arms. The Intelligent page slipped back to Dr. C.dimers desk, and whispered something In his ear. Instantly the Clark County member was on his feet demanding recog nition. "Mr. Speaker," he exclaimed, "I have just been told by the sergeant-at-arms of this house to go to h 1. and I think it Is highly Improper for him to make use of such language to a member of the House. All I asked was that the window be lowered." "The sergeant-at-arms will lower the window as requested," commanded Speak er Albertson, and the command was obeyed. The next day Representative Falknor, who Is a friend of the sergeant-at-arms, arose In the house and explained how the mistake of Dr. Chalmers had been made, and peace Is once more re stored between the officer and the Clark County soIon. The committee on judiciary of the House has not yet reported on the bill to in crease the number of Supreme Judges from five to seven, but It Is understood that a favorable report will be made very shortly. The bill provides hat the Gov ernor shall appoint the two new judges until the next election, and this fact may cause some Republican opposition to the bill. If the bill dop pass however. It Is believed that the Governor would appoint JMdge William H. White, of Se attle, and Judge M. M. Godman, of Day ton, to the positions. Both are leading Democrats of the state and members of the Rogers-Turner faction. Says Crowe Interview I Fake. OMAHA. Neb.. Feb. 17. Edward A. Cudahy, father of the boy alleged to have been kidnaped by Pat Crowe, says, regarding the alleged Interview between Editor Van Meter, of the Waterloo (la.) Tribune, and Pat Crowe, that he Is In clined to believe the story an outgrowth of an Imaginative newspaper writer. Chief Donohue last night received a dis patch from Fort Thomas, Ariz, saying that Crowe was there last week. AT THE HOTELS. THE PORTLAND. F H Shinier.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 17,. The railroads strongly protest against a reduction of the freight rates on agricultural products' as proposed "by the Rosenhaupt bill. The attorneys for the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railway Companies have submitted the subjoined brief to the House committee In support of the con tention of their clients. "It Is Intimated that any cut In charges Is the forerun ner of tedious and expensive" litigation, and will delay the construction of pro jected branches to several parts of the state. The Rosenhaupt bill would reduce the charge in farm products for a, haul of 350 mllee Spokane to tide water from $4 25 to $3 50 per ton. It further provides that all tariffs existing January 2, 1901, shall be reduced 10 per cent. The rail road companies' brief in rebuttal fol lows: "To the Honorable Senators and Mem bers of the House of Representatives of the State of Washington: "We beg to submit for your considera tion a table of wheat rates now In force In the State of Washington, as compared with the rates now In force, respectively In the states of Kansas, Nebraska, Minne sota, Missouri, Illinois and Texas. We also present a table showing the wheat rates In force between the leading shipping points In the State of Washington and lnter-state rates for similar distances In the Mississippi Valley. The rates In force In the several states referred to have all bcn passed upon by the railway commissions of those respective states. and In many instances by the State and Federal Courts. "We particularly call attention to the rates In the State of Nebraska. An at tempt was made by the commission of the State of Nebraska to reduce these rates about 15 per cent. The result of this order of the commission was a lon and expensive Utlmtion. It was finally decided by the Supreme Court of th United States (case of Smith against Ames, 1G9 U. S.. page 4C6), that such reduction was unreasonable and would. It enforced, result in confiscation of the railway property. "The Inter-State Commerce Commission has frequently been called upon by ag ricultural producers to reduce the inter state rates here submitted. After full hearing, based upon evidence, the rates herewith given were declared fair and reasonable. "We take it for granted that every member of this Legislature has traveled more or less through the states referred to in this comparative statement. There Is much greater density of traffic In each of the states than in the State of Wash ington. Construction and maintenance are cheaper, and operating charges are less. "If decided cases are of any value In the determination of the questions pre sented to this Legislature, we are unAble to see any reason either for burdening the state with an expensive railway commission or for the passage of a max lmum rate law. "Any law reducing existing rates would certainly result In expensive and tedious litigation without any other result than delay In extending projected branches to several localities of the state now with out transportation facilities. "We submit to the railway committee of the House the official published tariffs confirming the figures furnished.

HONORED BY IRISHMEN. Major John McBrlde and Maud Gonne Qnccn'M Name Hissed. NEW YORK. Feb. 17. Believers in tne- cause of independence for Ireland assembled at the Academy. of Music to night to- do honor to Major John Mc Brlde, who organized the Irish Trans vaal Brigade, and also to Maud Gonne. The meeting was held under thp auspices of .the Clan Na Gael. The name of Queen Victoria was greet ed with hlsse3, albeit of a somewhat subdued sort. Likewise, reference to Lord Salisbury was received with vigorous hissing. The full measure of scorn, how ever, was reserved for the name of Jo seph Chamberlain. Three cheers were given for Major McBrlde when he took the floor. Among other things, he said was: "We have dropped the flag for the time, but we hope to pick it up again, and then we will not lay it down until every vestige of the empire of hell is swept from tho earth." Miss Gonne spoke next, and, introdu cing her, the chairman said: "A woman died in England last month (hisses), over whlgh the Anglomanlacs expressed great sympathy and went into mourning. She is put forward as all that Is best and most representative in the English, butt so far as we are con cerned, they are welcome to her." When Miss Gonne stepped forward, most of the audience rose and greeted her" with loud applause. Miss Gonne, In part, said: "The hour of Ireland's destiny seems near at hand. We have come to Amer ica to consult with you before the crisis comes. In Victoria reign, Ireland has become a dying nation. Ireland has spent 30 years In parliamentary agita tion. She Is dying of It." The meeting was closed with the sing ing of the Boer national anthem, fol lowed by the Irish national song. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT PORTLAND. Feb. 17, 8 P. M.
