& THE MCRXpsG OREGONTAN, MONDAY, -FEBRUARY 25, 1001. MEANS A DIVISION Washington Agitation Over Railroad Rates. COMPLETE RECORD OF OREGON LEGISLATURE EASTERN PART PRIME MOVER i 1 Republicans Would Head Off Step, but Transportation Companies Will Not Assist br Xccensary Cat In the Charges. OLYMPIA, Wash.. Feb. 24. The two important developments of the legislative week were the passage of the Jones re apportionment bill and the defeat of the Tolman railway commission bill. The de feat of the latter measure ends the pos sibility of the creation of a railway com mission at this session of the Legislature, and leaves the rate question the only one to be determined. The railroads have announced in plain terms that they will not submit to the passage of a bill reducing rates on agri cultural products without a fight in the courts. They are using every means with in their power to defeat the passage of such a bill by the Legislature, but they have determined not to let the matter rest there, if it goes against them. Everyone familiar with Washington pol itics Is aware that the railroad question is a burning one. It is the vital issue In Eastern Washington, and has upon one or two occasions, including the present one, resulted In the sending of a Demo cratic delegation to the Legislature from that section. Many Republican leaders fear that the failure to pass a rate bill at this session will result in augmenting the Democratic majorities east of the mountains two years hence. As a result of this, many Republicans are asserting that the railroads should submit to & slight reduction in agri cultural rates at the present session rather than run the chance of a Demo Pop Legislature two years hence, when a United States Senator Is to be elected. These men take the position that the Re publican leaders, or most of them at least, have aided the roads In the defeat of the two drastic commission bills, and that the latter should now reciprocate, and consent to a slight reduction In rates. That the roads will not consent to this plan is evident. They have submitted to the Legislature a system of figures show ing that rates in this state of mountains and deserts are lower than in the great wheat-raising prairie states of the East. They assert that they are now hauling grain at as low a rate as the traffic will bear, and that any reduction is out of the question. From a political standpoint the roads take the attitude that the bulk of votes is on the west side of the mountains, a section that is not at all interested In the question of ralroad rates. The new ap portionment bill Increases the ratio of rep resentation on the west side very materi ally over that of the east side, and the former under any ordinary circumstances, it Is said, can bo safely depended upon to .elect practically a solid Republican legislative -delegation. There is much truth in this railroad contention, and it practically settles one fact, namely, that Western Washington, in the future, will be Republican, and that Eastern Washington normally will be Democratic. This Insures Washington as a Republican state, but it also means that in the not very distant future there will be ablg agitation for .state division on thc?i$t side. To a certain extent the Interests of the two sections are diametrically opposed to each other. The bulk of the people on the west side are opposed to a reduction In railroad rates, which means the plac ing of Eastern Washington products. aside from wheat, which does not enter into this matter. In the Puget Sound mar kets In competition with the produce of the smaller farmers and fruitgrowers on the west side. Sooner or later the agita tion fcr division of the state Is bound to come. The reapportionment bill, although it has passed both houses, is not yet ready for enrollment and formal presentation to the Governor for his signature. The House has slightly amended the bill, and the Senate will have to concur in the amendment, as it is a merely formal one. and included a few precincts In Snohomish County which were overlooked In draft ing the bllK The Senate will doubtless concur tomorrow, and the bill will be pre sented Jo the . Governor either late to morrow afternoon or Tuesday morning. It Is not yet certain what the Governor will do with the bill. Some profess to be lieve that he will veto it," and by threats of other vetoes compel enough Republi cans to vote against the passage of the bill over the veto to Insure its defeat. Others believe that he will content himself with writing a strong veto message, and permit the majority to pass It without further Interference. Still others believe that he will permit it to become a law without his signature, an.d content himself with a strong statement of his postion to the public. Very few people believe that he will sign the bill. As a matter of fact, there is consider able Republican opposition to the bill, but as it has been made a caucus measure, it is not thought that any Republicans will vote against its passage unless Gov ernor Rogers resorts to very heroic meas ures to encompass its defeat. Just at present the outlook for the passage of the Thurston County Court house bill Is more favorable than it has been for some time. The Democrats in the House are flirting with Olympia, and thereby hangs a tale. When Senator ' Hamilton, of Pierce, started his fight on the Jones reapportionment bill, he made a combination' with the Democrats, and agreed to go down the line with them against It. The friends of the bill saw that Hamilton, with his combination of Democrats and disgruntled Republicans, would probably beat the bill, and he was accordingly placated. The result was that he abandoned his alliance with the Democrats, signed the Republican caucus call, and supported the bill. After the measure had passed the House Thursday, Cameron, of Lincoln, one of the Democratic floor leaders, gained recognition. "I desire," he said, "to pre sent my compliments to Pierce County; the lion and the lamb have lain down to gether, but " Just at this interesting point the gen tleman from Lincoln was called down on hal fa dozen points of order, and his har rangue that promised so well was nipped in the bud. After adjournment, however, Cameron declared that he would vote for the courthouse bill In order to get even with Tacoma for throwing down the Dem ocrats In the reapportionment fight. Other Democrats have made the same state ment. Heretofore it has been believed that the Democrats would vote almost solidly against the courthouse bill, and In favor of removing the captial to Tacoma. but if they should decide to support Olympia it would aid the cause of the latter town very much. There are rumors that Republicans will caucus on Ulmer's bill to abolish the State Board of Audit and control, and pass it if Governor Rogers vetoes the re apportionment bill, or rather, if he uses executive pressure to enforce his veto. The intent of Ulmer's bill is to take the patronage of the state institutions away from Rogers and give is to the Republi cans. There is a-serious doubt as to the constitutionality of the measure, but sev eral Republicans say they could give the Governor a very unpleasant time of it if they saw fit. BILLS PASSED BOTH HOUSES.

OUR EXPORTS TO RUSSIA HAVE BEEN LITTLE OVER $4,000, OOO A YEAR SNCE 1805. Theie Figures Are Based on Official Returns Common Report Has Had $30,000,000 the Amount. "WASHINGTON. Feb. 24. Exports of manufactures from the United States to Russia do not amount to $30,000,000 per year," as has been asserted, nor have they ever reached one-fourth that sum. This assertion is sustained by the official fig ures of both the United States and Rus sia. According to the figures of the United States Bureau of Statistics, ex ports of manufactures to Russia range from $3,000,030 to $4,000,000 per annum, and, according to the Russian official statistics, they have averaged a little over $4,000,000 a year since 1S95, the earliest date at which the detailed figures of Russian im ports 'are obtainable. The Russian statement of total imports of goods of all classes originating in the United States have never, save in two ex ceptional years, shown as much as $30, 000.000, and have averaged since 1S95 less than $25,000,000 per annum, and of this sum more than three-quarters represents raw cotton, which is not affected by the recent order of the Russian Government. .Much of the American cotton imported into Russia Is bought in the markets of Europe, and thus, while represented in tho Russian importations as of American or igin, does not show in the, export state ments from the United States, because it is sent from this country direct to the great cotton markets of Europe, Liver pool .and Bremen, and thence Is distrib uted to Russian and other interior states of Europe. The reports of the United States Gov ernment only show total exports to Rus sia of about $10,000,000 per annum, while those of the Ru-ian Government rhow Imports of American products averaging about $25,000,030 per annum; but an analy sis of the two statements shows that the discrepancy is chiefly In cotton, which discrepancy is accounted for as above indicated. In merchandise other than cotton the Russian and United States figures corre spond quite as closely as could be ex pected in view of the fact that the United States fiscal year terminates June 30, and that of Russia December 31. Taking the figures of either country or of both, and comparing them year by year, it is found that the total exports from the United States to Russia of all articles, exclusive of raw cotton, averaged in 1S99 and 1900 about $S.COO,000 per annum, and prior to that time had averaged but about $4,000. 000 per annum. This $S,000,CO0 of exports other than cotton, includes live animals, books, maps and engravings, breadstuffs, chemicals, coal, copper, green, dried and preserved fruits, malt and spirituous liquors, bags and tagging, parafflne, cotton-seed oil, animal oils, furniture, patent medicines cars and carriages, agricul tural Implements, and manufactures of iron and. steel. Of the total exports to Russia from the United States in the fiscal year 1900", only $5,132,000 consisted pt iron and steel manufactures and agricul tural implements, which classes Include the chief articles affected by the recent order. A careful analysis of both the ex port statement of the United States and the Import statement of Russia justifies the conclusion that the exportation from the United States to Russia of the classes of articles named by the recent order amounted In 19C0, the year .of our largest exports to that country, to less than $6,000,000.
