Occasion Beartlly Enjoyed, Tjr .All Incident of the Day Visitor fT. Xenve lor Paget Sound. The entertainment pf the Ohio and In diana Congressional party by ,the busi ness men and representative citizens of Portland closed yesterday -with an ex cursion -to Astoria and the ocean. The trip was a delightful one, and the visit ors expressed themselves as being' highly pleased -with It. They left on the 11:30 train last night for Puget Sound, enthu siastic over Oregon, Portland and the Co lumbia Elver country. The excursion left ,for Astoria yester day morning at 8 o'clock, on the steamer Bailey Gatzert, which was donated for the occasion. A drizzling rain "was fait lng "when the "boat pulled out, but before long the .sun came out bright and "warm, and shone inost of the day. Showers oc curred at more or less frequent Intervals, but never for a very long period, and were not at a.lL disagreeable. Tie Gatzert made the fastest time ever made to Astoria against a flood tide. It was lust 4 hours and 50 minutes from the ifme it passed through the steel "bridge until the gong sounded at the Astoria wharf. From this must be deducted 25 minutes for a run of 2& hours against the jflood tide, making the actual time 4 hours and 25 minutes. It seemed that the boat fairly flew through the water, and this itself was one of, the pleasurable features of the day's outing. iJJpon the arrival at Astoria luncheon was served an the dining-room of the Oc cident Hotel. The room -was far too mall Jo accommodate the large number of In vited guests in addition to the Congres sional -party itself. Those who sat down with the visitors -were: Judge C. B. Bel linger Miss Bellinger and Mrs. Knapp; fionl Ttiomas1 fi. Tongue and daughters, and Mrs. McCrakea; Judge George H. Williams, and judges George, Sears and Cleland, of the State Circuit Court;,Hon. Solomon Hirsch, Mr. and Mrs,, H. L. Pit tock, Ellis XJ, -Hughes,vMayor.H.'Sl.Rowe, Governor T. T. Geep and Mrs. Geer, Hon. John Barrett, H. W. Scott and Hon. Mal colm A. Moody. ' Xuncheon was over Jjy 2 o'clock, and then the party took the Astoria &, Co lumbia River Railway to Fort Stevens. Here Aatcars were in -waiting, and most of the party promptly boarded them and went out on the jetty. A stiff breeze was blowing, - but -many of the ladies were thoughtful -enough- to- take blankets from the Pullman car with them. They wrapped themselves In these, and pre sented a picturesque appearance as the wind flapped the blankets around. This part of the excursion Vas especially en joyable. Several of the guests enjoyed themselves by speculating upon what would happen if the flatcars should Jump the track.1"" Returning to the main train, the party was backed down through the grounds of -Fort Stevens, where a short stop was made. Then the return trip was made to Astoria, which was reached shortly before 5 o'clock. Dinner was served, and the special cars donated by the Astoria & Columbia River Railway were attached to the evening train, which left Astoria jpr .Portland: at 6-10. The party arrived here shortly before 10 o'clock last even ing, and left an hour and a half later. "T'he excursion was entirely informal. Not a single speech was made during- the uay, the entire party giving themselves up to the unrestrained enjoyment of the occasion. The Teceptlon committee proved Itself equal to the occasion, the leading spirits being A. J. Capron, H. M. Cake and George Taj lor, Jr. About 200 people, including leading state and Federal 'offi cials, and representative b'uslness men of Portland, accompanied the party. The several members of Congress ex pressed themselves one and all as being comlnced of the urgent necessity of the . improvement of the Columbia River, and 1tJs evident that their visit here will re dound to the lasting good of this city and state. lng, and the street will soon be ready for graveL East Taylor, between East Thirty-fourth and East Sixteenth streets, will, be finished this week.

ALTERATIONS COST $9000. Changing Fronts In Rig Buildings Is Expensive "Work. The changing of the fronts of the Washington block, at-Third and Washing ton, the most extensive and expensive Job of the kind ever undertaken in Port land, has been completed to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. The work has occupied 'longer than was t Intended on account of -unavoidable delays, and it is hard to tell who are the moBt pleased with its completion,- the owners of the building or the occupants of the stores In it- The cost of the improve ment amounts to about ?2Q00, and Will iam Flledner and Edward Holman are perfectly satisfied with the results of their expenditure. The building was erected in a massive style, with heavy columns and buttresses, as If intended to stand forever, but the requirements of business soon rendered a glass front necessary. The removal of the entire fronts on Washington andFourth streets was no small nor easy "job. Thomas Walker, the contractor, states that not less than 30,000 bricks were taken out, mostly In pieces, and heavy cast-Iron lintels removed, and their places -supplied by Iron columns and steel girders. This extensive work and the stagings and timbers to support the heavy super structure, which It was necessary to place on -the sidewalk, called for patience and -forbearance on the part of the public and the occupants of the. stores, but every effort was made by Mr. Walker to in commode the public as little as possible, much of the work being done at night, and the job has been completed without any trouble or friction. Mr. Flledner was seea gazing admiring ly on the new plate glass fronts jester day and expressed .himself as thoroughly satisfied with everything except the bent glass in the corner, which he intends to replace with a wider one as soon as practicable. He says that although the building is so heavy, the whole front was removed and replaced without the slightest sign of settling In any part, A massi-e cast-Iron lintel, -a hlch the change inthe front made too short, had to be taken out, and -one a little longer put in at a-cost of $500, the old one, which cost about the same, selling for only a few dollars as old iron. A week's delay In the work was caused In a rather singular manner. John Bingham, who was super intending the work of putting In the new pillars and steel trusses, was suddenly called to the City of Wasco. Sherman County, where a bank and department store building In course of erection showed signs of collapse. He took his pulleys and other plant and hurried up there, and after putting the building to rights started back in a hurry. Unfor tunately, a bridge was washed out on the Columbia Southern Railway just at that time, and his tools were delayed. After waiting a week for them, he had to buy new tools to go on with his work on the "Washington block. The longest de lay, however, was caused by the steel girders, ordered from Pittsburg, going astray on the road. It was impossible to find any trace of them for a long time. But now that the work Is completed and the debris being cleared away, pro prietors, shopkeepers, the contractors and the public are all happy, and have forgot ten ah the trouble and worry caused by these delays, and the new glass front is an ornament to the street. Judge Frazer yesterday ordered findings prepared in three divorce cases, with the understanding that the decree in each case will not be granted until the findings have been submitted and signed by the court. This Is a new mode of procedure intended to compel attorneys to have decrees In divorce suits properly entered of record, which, in the past, has fre-v quently not been done becauseattorneys nave neglected to prepare and bring In the findings as required. If the decree Is not entered In the Journal, there Is no divorce granted, notwithstanding the announcement of the judge from the bench that it has been allowed'. The cass heard and disposed of yes terday were as, follows: Minnie Darrow against Nelson J. Dar row, to whom she was marrle'd in Port land in 1S92. She testified that he deserted her in -November, 1S94. Mrs. Darrow asked to be restored to her maiden name, Far rell. ' Annie Scot against Walter Scott, also on the ground of desertion. Mrs. Scott testified that her husband abandoned her In April, 1900. She' stated, also", that he was addicted to the use of. intoxicating liquors. They were married In this city in 1894. Birdie McKinstry accused her husband, Frank C. McKinstry, of cruel treatment and adultery. She named HalHejLyons as co-defendant. She asked ,tok be restored to her maiden .name, Slocumt They were married at Oakland, Cal., In 1S97. - Mc Kinstry filed a general denial, but Sid not appear In court to defend the suit. Xate in the afternoon the findings in the Darrow and McKinstry cases were file'd by the attorneys. Postmasters by diligent soliciting were able to dispose of large quantities of stamps to persons not patrons of their offices. A fourth-class Postmaster who could arrange a sale of 52000 worth of stamps could have his office advanced to the third class. This practice was generally resorted to In suburban offices, which gave many of them their present high rating. A third class office, the annual receipts of which do not 'exceed $2000, commands a. salary of $1000 ior Its Postmaster. When the receipts reach 52-400 his salary Is increased $10$ and so on until an office which re ports -total receipts of 5S000 pays the Post master t500. The department is of the opinion that this should no longer be allowed! The recent order will no doubt be regarded as a hardship by many Post masters, but there Is every Indication that it will be enforced. LAW ENFORCERS MEET SPEECHES .03T' EXISTING CONDI TIONS IN PORTLAND. TO STRENGTHEN UNION: Portland Carpenters Hold a Mass Meeting. NO CONTRACT WAS IADE. Case to Prevent Issuing of "Warrants Ready for Argument. Bernstein & Cohen and M. L. Pipes, have appeared as attorneyes for the. Board of County Commissioners InUhe suit of A. Tichner against County Clerk Hanley H. Holmes, 4 to enjoin the issuance of war rants for the payment of claims for sup plies purchased where there was no con tract. The Driscoll bill, passed Tjy the last Legislature, provides that Warrants for supplies unless there wasa contract, are void even If In the hands of Innocent third parties. The suit brought by Mr. Tichner is to test the validity of the law. He Is represented by District At torney Chamberlain, who, In his official capacity, must uphold the law. The Com missioners passed the bills In controversy. and their position is that the goods were purchased on requisitions, because of emergencies. Auditor Pope refused to audit the claims, and the brokers said they would not1' handle,, the warrants. The District Attorney cannot appear on both sides of the case, and as it is neces sary that both sides shall be presented, the Commissioners engaged the other law yers mentioned. The arguments will be made soon. CONDENSED MILK IN DEMAND Opening for Factory la Portlnnd "TOho'll Start It? There has been much talk first and last about starting a factory for the manufac ture of condensed milk in this city, and one or more efforts have been made to get one In operation; but 'so far without success. The amount of condensed milk or cream used In this section a few years ago was comparatively small, but of late it has Increased greatly, and now a tre mendous amount of It Is handled here. Every logging camp is supplied with It, some using several cases a week. It is also used at canneries and In all places where numbers of men are employed, and it is not practicable to obtain fresh milk. An article manufactured somewhere In Washington has about captured the mar ket here to the exclusion of the Eastern article. It answers all purposes, and is much cheaper than the Eastern condensed milk, and the cans are larger. Hereto fore there was hardly a sufficient supply of milk obtainable here to justify any one In putting up a factory for condens ing It, but now there Is a large supply of milk available, and it is likely to become larger every year. Portland procures sup plies of milk by boat and rail from many sections, and this city Is the proper place for locating a factory for making con densed milk, and such a concern Is needed here at once. The market for condensed milk is rapidly increasing, and the enter prise, if properly conducted, would prove profitable from the start. PRINTING PLANT ATTACHED. L. Haynes Sued by His "Wife, Ljdla, for $2455. Lydla Haynes has sued her husband, C. L. Haynes, In the State Circuit Court to recover $1055 money lent, and 5700 each on two promissory notes. The Sheriff at tached a printing plant, an optical parlor, and a piano. Mrs. Hayne3 alleges that she wanted security In December, 1S0Q, to show her parents how she had Invested her money, and Haynes promised to give it to her, but only tendered his note for 51400. He promised to pay her, she states, but did not do so. In April last Mrs. Haynes sued her husband for a divorce, the papers being filed In Columbia' County. J. A. Strow brldge, Jr., was engaged as her attorney, and yesterday the Commercial Co., as as signee for Strowbrldge, commenced an action In the State Circuit Court against Mrs. Haynes for $175 fees for legal serv ices. Of this sum, $100 is for service's perr formed in the divorce proceedings, and $75 for preparing legal documents. The sheriff was Instructed to attach four lots Jn Brown's Addition, and two lots at Mid way. A. Walter Wolfe represents the Commercial Co as counsel, and Henry E. McGinn is now Mrs. Haynes' attorney. School Children to Decorate Grave. Sumner Post, G. A. R.. is arranging a programme for the decoration of the graves of soldiers in Done Fir cemetery bn Memorial day.

Court Notes. Mary E. Hart, charged with assault with a knife on R. A. Frame was ar raigned before Judge Frazer yesterday. She p'eaded not guilty. William. MacBcth, trustee in bankruptcy for Brenner & Wise, yesterday filed an attachment suit in the State Circuit Court against M. Davidson to recover $399 for goods sold in December, 1899. Molsh Shu Chung, a Chinese, charged with larceny in a dwelling at 347 Couch street, on May 8, was arraigned in the State Circuit Court yesterday and al lowed until Friday to plead. He Is ac cused of stealing various articles of jew elry, etc., the property of George W. Ta bler, Mrs. Tabler and Alva Baker. The suit of Carlo Togmottl against GlorgI and Roslna Mazzei, to recover $300 damages, was dismissed by Judge Frazer t yesterday on motion of plaintiffs attor ney. Tognlottl complained that In Octo ber, 1900, he cut his thumb and the Maz zcls treated It for him with carbolic acid, causing olood poisoning to set In, and he was compelled to have the member am putated. Counsel for the defendants de murred to the Complaint on the ground that facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action were not stated, and recently Judge Sears sustained the demurrer. 'Between M0 and 300 carpenters assem bled last evening at the Eagles' Hall to listen to speeches made in favor of or ganization, and much enthusiasm was manifested. During a recess many slg natures were added to the membership roll of the Carpenters Union. Vice-President Ernest Miller, of the union-, presided, and called on the speak ers, who were mostly city tradesmen. P. J. Crowley was -the first. He expressed gratification at the large assembly gath ered In the interest of the labor move ments Although a machinist by trade, he Is -a union man, and had always affiliated with the craft He referred to the little trouble and vexation the machinists of the city are now undergoing in their struggle for better conditions. He thought no men worked harder and were poorer paid In the United States than ma chinists, and ascribed the reason to lack of organization. He hoped, however, to see all craftsmen united in one organiza tion, when they, as one man, could dic tate terms to J. Pr Morgan, Rockefeller and the trust magnates. He related a dream In which he saw crowds of men, women and children begging work from the favored few, and thought this condi tion would prevail until worklngmen all profit by organization. R. "Deamon spoke of the' advantage of organization in England, and advised the grading of carpenters according to their ability. He did not blame contractors for getting men at $1 a day if they could, but he blamed the men who worked for $la day. J. B. Osborne, a blind man, who was formerly a painter, said he lost the sight of , one eye looking for work under Cleve land's Administration, and the other hunt ing employment under McKlnley. Car penters should not be Democrats. Repub licans, Prohibitionists or Socialists In this movement, but should work In unison to protect themselves and their families J. T. Morgan gave several reasons why worklngmen should unite, and spoke of the good already accomplished by labor organizations. "In 1825." he said, '12 hours constituted a day's labor for arti sans, and 13 to 15 hours In factories. Labor organizations and strikes have re duced these hours in 16 states to 10 hours, In three others to nine hours. In seven others to eight hours, while, the Federal Government recognizes the eight-hour day in all Its departments. Organizations of labor have brought all these changes about. They have mitigated the exaction of child labor, made safer places for toll ers to work In, they Improved the sanitary condition of factories, rendered machin ery safer to work with, given us the Aus tralian ballot, and averted tyranny by their show of strength on many occa sions " Miss Lena Morrow was the only wo man present, and she was called on for a few remarks, which she devoted to explaining the occult meaning of the let ters forming the" word Union. "The U means protection." she said, "the N mastery of details: the I male strength: the O,. great possibilities: the whole word suggests that labor is entitled to Its own." J. D. Stevens spoke, of the failure of strikes in Eastern cities being due to lack of unity in the workers, and favors city, state. National and International federation In order that labor should ob tain the wealth it creates. A .Seattle man spoke of the Carpen ters' Union In his city, being composed of 700 members, and of the National Union being In force In 1S9 cities of the country. He favors the formation of a Building Trades' Union for protection of all the wage-earners of the city. A petition to Congress asking for the ex tension of the Chinese exclusion law, was circulated In the meeting and every body signed it. teagae Declares That .It Will Con tinue the Figflft While There' Is Gambling.

Caples, on "Chile," at Taylor-Street Church, -on Tuesday evening, was a delightful enter tainment, as well as an Interesting and instructive lecture. The speaker nar rated his experiences and observations during the -four years which he has just completed as United States Consul at Val paraiso, punctuating the lecture by fre quent flashes of wit or humorous story. He said in closing that his observations led him to believe that the Spanish cus toms and manners, which are so radically different from those of the United States, both In the social and political life of these Southern republics, must gradually be supplanted by the Anglo-American tjpe of civilization, and that he expected to see their present forms of government so modified that eventually they will all be come states of the great American Re public, under the Stars and Stripes of the United States, which he hoped would some day wave over the entire Western conti nent, from the Arctic Ocean on the north, to the Antarctic continent on the South. About 200 people gathered at A. O. U. W. Hall last evening tb attend the meet ing of the Law Enforcement League, at which 'addresses we"re made by severaPof the men who have been" most active In the work. "Dr. Morrison, vice-president of the league, called the meeting to order and announced that in the absence jpt Mr. Scott, who was assisting in the wel come to- the Ohio delegation, he would preside. A letter from George H. Will lams was read, In which the latter stated that he was necessarily absent, yet was In full accord with the plans of the Law Enforcement League. Dr. Morrison then stated the objects of the meeting, saying that It had been called because the ad visory board feltrthe public had thetrlght to know some -things of gambling Irt this city, and that It was proposed to-, initi ate other methods of suppressing gam bling. 'Rev. Dr. Lord ..was the first speaker. He J said that a move must be made In this direction. In yiew of all the -fa.cts, which he named, as follows: First, ..every one 'confesses that public gambling Is going on unmolested by officers of .the law; second, that a law calling this a crime is on the statute-bpoksT third,, this law Is not unusual, as It is the law-of civilized countries; fourth, the law can be enforced with reasonable efficiency; fifth, the great niajorlty of the people of Portland are In "favor of the enforcement ofs the law; sixth, this society (meaning the league) Is the organized will of the people; seventh, Portland's moral, social, political and business welfare are In volved; eighth, no man would barter his children's future for eer so-much money. Thomas N. Strong followed, and divided crlm'elnto two classes gilded and pauper crlnie He placed gambling, social, 'im purity and the llduor traffic In therlatter class. . He told something of what he knew of gambling and other vices,- and declared that the Chle.f, District Attor ney and Commissioners want the fight abandoned. - ' - "Some of the thlpgs I will say are going to hurt some of the people," were the first words of Dr. Wise, who read a-letter from R. Livingstone, "who regretted that he could not be present, and stated that If the Police Commission can stop gam-' bllng, some, explanation Is due from them to the public of the course they are pur suing. "We have heard much of Infringement of personal liberty," continued Dr. Wise, "but is It an infringement because we are trying to save some young men from go ing down? We are ndt killing, business, but we. will not have Portland disgraced by that cowardly band. George E. Cham berlain, the District Attorney, told us he could have made lots of money by saying nothing, and do you call it the act of a gentleman, as a gambler Is said to be, ,to try to bribe? If one man had courage. I could show you wrere a juror was ap proached before the trial of one of the gambling cases. I want to remind you of the promise of the Chief of Police 'and the Commissioners to close gambling. They are putting themselves, justly or unjust ly, under a terrible suspicion." Dr. Morrison made the concluding ad dress, with a reylewfof the work, of the committee, which first went to see the Commissioners and the Chief of Police in regard to having gambling repressed, and told of the trials, in which he declared one of the police captains displayed a most childish Indifference. "What are the results?" he continued. "Here. Is a list of phacea where there was open gambling lastnlght, and theCe.may be tonight: Gus & Scott, Gem, Portland Club, Blazler's. South and North, De Mar tini, Fritz, and Erlckson. The authorities tell us they don't know about It, they can't get evidence or can'tconvlct. If the former, they ought to be thrown out of office; If the latter, they are dishonest. We are going to stay as" long as?there Is any gambling going on, In the interests of our homes."

Charitable Work In" Which. , County Is Engrngeil. the 'Among the steadiest boarders at the county Jail are the confirmed opium fiends, who are sent up on long sentences to be weaned from the drug. They enter the jail wan and cadaverous, In the last stages of Imbecility, and, after 60 or 90 days, come out plump and In perfect health, resolving to let opium alone in future. It takes about two months to bring them back to their former stages of weakness, as in the meantime they de vote their liberty to rustling for the drug. Archie .Ray, a confirmed fiend, was sent up yesterday from the Municipal Court for 125 days. He will again be subjected to the heroic treatment that shuts off the drug at once, and will probably suffer the pangs of extreme torture for a few days, when he will again be broken of the habit and put on the road to recovery. .There Is always a goodly contingent of opium fiends in Jailer Mitchell's charge. "Sag Harbor." There is something in the peculiar at mosphere and characterization of a Hearne play that makes one of them any one of them a singularly grateful theatrical of fering. Indeed, a Hearne play Is a good deal like a Dickens story, anyway, and the story of "Sag Harbor" has strong re semblance in many ways to the famous novelist's incomparably tender romance of the sea which centers about Little Em'ly, in "David Copperfield." One of the most-read New Tork critics described the characterization In Hearne's latest play In the following words: "Dickens himself never drew finer character sketches than has James A. Hearne In "Sag Harbor.' " The analogy might be carried further; there Is the same strong swash of the sea in the background, and the rugged t-pes of seafaring character have the same touch of qualntroess and the homely nobility of character. The cast which will present "Sag Har bor" at the Marquam Grand on Thursday, May SO, will be the same as that which has created the wide fame of this Idyl lic play of American life and character, and the production In Its entirely will be Identically the same as that which evoked such enthusiastic comment In New York City. "Sag Harbor" will be In Portland for three nlglfts and a Saturday mati nee. V .Bicyclist's Protest. . PORTLAND, May 22. (To the Editor.) I would like to put In a word for our bicycle riders. Our police and Police Judge are of' late getting so severe that I think It time some one was putting in a word for riders. I for one would like to know why thousands of dollars of our money Is spent on cow paths outside- of the city, while boys and girls working for $12 or $15 per month, compelled by the horrible condition of streets to take, the sidewalks for .a few blocks, are arrested and fined. In North Portland, I suppose there are 4Qfr or E00 riders at least, and most of them, only ride to andrrom their dally toll and there I Is not a street fit to ride on from Sixth to Twenty-second, and most of the time when, they would leave the sidewalk to get to a paved street, the sidewalks have very few, if any, persons on them. Our city fathers seem to -think they have to pass ordinances against the many and In "favor of 'the few, and compej riders to pay car fare or walk. Why could not one side say of every other street be open for-rlders, to save expense of paths and give "the riders some show. The next thing riders will have to do will be to take their votes from these moss backs and put them where they will tell fori the right. Respectfully, BUSINESS- AUCTION SALES TODAY.

An order of the Postofiice Department, Issued by the First Assistant Postmaster-General, will undoubtedly cut down the salaries of a large number of Postmasters In small of fices. The order referred to prescribes a penalty for encouraging the purchase of stamps and postal cards by outside people. It has been the custom of Postmasters In small offices, especially those located near large cities, to solicit sales of stamps and other supplies among business men of the neighboring- cities. Inasmuch as the compensation of-fourthrclass Postmasters depends upon the amount, of cancellation on-the value of stamps' sold, energetic LOW EXCURSION RATES. To Pan-American Exposition Points East. and Low excursion rates have now been named for the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, meeting of Woodmen and Med ical Association at St. Paul, and all points E,ast.

Before making other arrangements, call at our office or write for lull particulars. t. w. i oster, ticket agent. Burlington Route, corner Third and Stark streets, Portland, Or Harry Corson Clarke's New Play. Good houses have greeted Harry Corson Clarke during his entire season. This season he Is appearing in a new farce of the proper-name variety, entitled "What Did Tompkins Do?" In It Mr. Clarke returns to the style of character in which lie first gained prominence, viz., old men's parts. The farce Is written around an aged financier who has sporting tendencies, but who curiously enough has a son of opposite characteristics. The son has been christened under his fath er's name, and consequently the two are being constantly confused In the minds of people. This gives rl3e to some ludi crous situations, especially when the mod est son gets charged with his father's hf larlous performances. The piece is farci cal, but It Is of the higher class, and, like the Broadhurst productions, is ex tremely clean. Mr. Clarke has an aver sion for the modern "Frenchy" tendency In comedy, and will not be seen In any thing that smacks of It. His success in "Jones," a play that contains not one In delicate line, has strengthened him In this resolve. Mr. Clarke has made a fortune during his three seasons with "Jones" and he says he retires It with regret, al though he is certain that his new piece wlll'be an even greater hit. Mr. Clarke will be seen at Cordray's the week begin ning. Sunday night. DAILX METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND," May 22.-8 P. M. Maximum temperature, 56; minimum temperature, 41: rHer reading at 11 A.
