Governor Ormnn'it Message to the Colorado Lcglslntnre. DENVER, Jan. 28. In a message which he transmitted to the Legislature today Governor Orman recommended re-enactment, with the necessary safeguards, of ths' revenue law which has been attacked by the corporations In the courts. He advises that a new section be added to this law, providing for the assessment of mining property, whether productive or nonproductive. He recommends the en actment of an employers liability law, and asks the Legislature to correct a de fect in the act of the regular session, maKing an appropriation ior an exnioit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis. , "In regard to corporate legislation," the Governor says, "it must be remembered that whatever materially affects the In terests of the corporations correspond ingly affects the welfare of the people of the state, but we must also remember that It Is from the state and its re sources that they derive their great wealth and power, and that the people should have something to say as to how that power is used and that wealth ac quired."

The Trip From Chicago Wai One Long Ovation. LOUISVILLE, KyiTjan. 28. Rear-Ad-mlral Schley arrived here this evening. He was greeted with an Admiral's salute and with a shouting crowd of many thou sands. The trip from Chicago was one long ovation. The Admiral made no speeches on the trip, although at some places he spoke a few word3 of greeting. Telegrams from every station along the line asked that the Admiral appear on the platform, if only for a moment. At La Fayette, Ind., Admiral Schley insisted that grimy-handed machinists, who had rushed from the car shops, take his hand, "Never mind the grease," he said, and the men, who had not wished to soil the Admiral's gloves, cheered. From the depot the Admiral and Mrs. Schley were escorted In state to the resi dence of Marlon E. Taylor, president of the Board of Trade, at whose house they will remain during their stay here. The programme In honor of the Admiral Includes a reception at the Board of Trade at noon tomorrow, a luncheon at the Pendennls Club, and a banquet at the Gait House tomorrow night, under the auspices of the Board of Trade. On Thursday the Admiral will be the guest of the Knights Templar, and after a ride over the city In the morning, he will take lunch at the Pendennls Club. In the after noon the Admiral will be escorted to the Masonic "Widows' and Orphans' Home, and the Industrial School of Reform, where he will address the children, and on Thurs day evening a Templar ball and reception will be given at the Gait House. (Tomorrow afternoon a. reception -will be given Jn honor of Mrs. Schley and Mrs. Marlon Taylor at the latters residence, and Friday afternoon Admiral and Mrs. Schley will leave for Nashville. BAD SERVICE AT BAR Chamber of CommerceTakes Up the Question. WHAT INVESTIGATION REVEALS Pilots Have Formed a Pool and Tug boats Are Inefficient Moving to Remedy Some of the No torious Abuses. The tugboat and pilotage service at the mouth of the Columbia River was shown to be highly inefficient at the meeting ot the trustees of the Chamber of Com merce yesterday morning. The naviga tion committee submitted a report of its Investigations that handled the subject 'n its true aspect, made plain the abuses In the present system of pilotage and towage, and suggested remedies for Im provement. The one cause underlying all the evils was shown to be lack of com petition among pilots and towboats. It was made clear that this has removed all incentive to energetic service. Several important subjects other than this were discussed. Members of the board present were: S. M. Mears, L. A. Lewis, Lewis Russell, F. M. Warren, W. J. Burns, W. B. Ayer, "W. S. Slbson, and Adolphe "Wolfe. Mr. Hahn was present part of the session. The navigation report was only partly considered at yesterday's meeting, and it will be taken up by the trustees again this morning. It was considered best to postpone definite action until the several members of the navigation committee could be on hand to furnish Information, which was lacking at yesterday's delib eration. This committee, composed of George Taylor, Jr., "W. D. Wheelright, W. S. Sibson, Alfred Tucker and E. T. "Williams, Is requested to confer with the trustees this morning. The recommenda tions meet with general favor, and, after the report is adopted, the trustees will appoint a conference with the Oregon Pilot Commission. The latter board is composed of Martin Foard and E. W. Tallant, of Astoria, and Sylvester Farrell, of Portland. The Astoria members have put the matter of arranging a meeting In the hands of Mr. Farrell. A letter from Mr. Farrell was read, signifying the will ingness of the Pilot Commissioners to meet the trustees. The appointment will undoubtedly be made for next week. The trustees were not ready to submit the report of the navigation committee for publication until it has been acted upon. An epitome of It, however, is as follows: "What the Report Contains. The service at the mouth of tho Colum bia is regarded as highly unsatisfactory, and as calling for prompt remedy. Pilot age- is controlled by a pool of nlpe men,"" ana towage by, one company. Under these conditions there Is no Incentive either for diligence -or dispatch. ' The pilots-"know they will get "the rates fixed by law regardless of when or how tho serice Is performed, since pilotage is compulsory, and the two tugboats know they will get the business, since they are the only ones engaged. Pilots and tow boats are found to spend too much time at Astoria and too little on the bar. The report says In very strong language that facilities for handling ships have failed to keep up with the growth of commerce and of tonnage of ships. It Is pointed out that Puget Sound has nine tugboats, the largest of which has 1500 horsepower, while the Columbia River has only two, the larger of which has 1000 horsepower. All the Puget Sound tugs have more power than the "Wallula, which has only 550 horsepower, and cannot work In rpugh weather. Comparison with serv ice at Puget Sound Is even more striking when it Is observed that In 1900 and 1901 a total sail tonnage of 426,729 passed over the Columbia River bar, and of 519,776 passed through the entrance to Puget Sound. It Is recommended that the pilotage monopoly at Astoria be broken, and that the O. R. & N. be requested to add to Its fleet of towboats; that pilot licenses be issued to all applicants according to their fitness; that they shall receive compensa tion according to the service they shall render; that a superintendent of pilots be appointed to see that they do their work; that the O. R. & N. transport any pilot for the same consideration as it now does members of the pool, namely, 10 per cent of their earnings; that the O. R. & N. be asked to keep a boat outside the bar all the time and one inside; that the bar be lighted at night, and that an appeal be made to the Governor If the present pilots fail to accord with the rec ommendations. If it is Impossible to carry out the suggestions, It is recom mended that tugboats operate without the present pool of pilots and hire pilots on their own account, or tow ships without pilots, as Is now done in the river. This would impress the use of the present pilot boat and also the state pilot boat. Governor Can Act. In answer to a question about the power of the Governor In the matterMr. Slbn responded that the Governor has the ap pointment of the Commissioners. Mr. Burns thought It In place to ask that three tugboats be kept In service only in the busy months of the year. He further said that pilotage is compulsory. He condemned the present tugboat serv ice strongly. He thought that good serv ice could be rendered by one company. He said the river pilots were a saucy lot, and would not move a "ship unless it suited their convenience. He declared that something should be done to show them up before the Pilot Commissioners. Mr. Lewis was highly .pleased with the report. He thought It covered the ground ably. Mr. Ayer said that the state pilot schooner at Astoria is unseaworthy, and not fit for service, as suggested In the report. At present, the pilots are not using It. He thought that the state should provide a steam pilot boat, fo he rei garded It as Indispensable to the com merce of the river. The trustees then began to consider the report in detail, but in a short time It was decided to put off the deliberation until today. To Aid Columbia. Improvement. President Mears Informed the trustees that he was progressing favorably In the project for sending two citizen delegates to Washington to urge Improvement of the Columbia River at Celllo and the bar. He reported that several cities In the In land Empire were preparing to do the same thing. Secretary Reed reported that the petition sent out from Portland for improvement of the river was meeting with hearty response In the Interior. Spo kane was the only city that was con spicuously tardy. The secretary of its Chamber of Commerce had written that he had not obtained many signatures to the petition, but would do what he could when he got time. Mr. Hahn thought It would be well to put the Spokane Chamber of Commerce on record for this, and to make capital out of 1L Spokane has the reputation of being stronarly In favor of an open river, but evidently was a little lazy. Its Cham ber of Commerce had resolved for an opn river, but resolutions seemed to be easier than the work of getting signatures to the petition. Mr. Ayer thought that Spokane could be Induced to send citizen representatives to Washington His plan was to work for a large appropriation for the bar and at the same time make a start for the upper river Improvement. He mentioned the desire of the upper river people to win the Influence of Portland. Makes Navigation Difficult. A letter was read from A. L. Mohler. president of the O. R. & N.t relative to the discontinuance of buoys In the Co lumbia River Lighthouse Inspector W. P. Day has ordered their removal on ac count of their being swept away con tinually by log rafts. Mr. Mohler re-, garded the complaint of -Mr. Day as valid, but recognized the disadvantage of the order. "It will make navigation between Portland and Astoria much more difficult," he said, "and the river will get advertis ing for grounding ships which it does not receive now." The letter was referred to the navigation committee. Letter From Congressman Tongue. A letter from Representative Thomas H. Tongue was offered before the trustees. It was In answer to,lnquIrles of President Mears some time ago. Mr. Tongue thought It likely that n fair appropriation can be obtained at this session of Congress, and hoped Celllo would not be left out. He I intimated that no larger appropriation can be hoped for than the one granted last year. The letter was as follows: My bear Sir: Yours of the ICth Inst, has Just been received. I think It quite likely that come fair relief can be had for the Upper Co lumbia and Snake Rivers. The last river and harbor bill made some appropriation for them, not a treat amount, but a fair one. I hope something can be done for a commencement of the work at The Dalles and Celllo. How much I do not know. Mr. Burton replied to a state ment of a gentleman the other day who want- J ed to Increase an appropriation over the one j placed In the last bill to tho effect that we could nto appropriate any larger amount this time than was done then. If Instead ot the re peal of the boat-railway legislation we could secure In addition the repeal of that, the di version of the funds previously appropriated to the project, as drawn and approved by Major Harts, it really would be a great achievement. It would be an indorsement of the project by Congress, and the entering upon the work and placing It upon the list of appropriations that would pretty regularly be made. I hope to be able to do this, and certainly shall strain every effort toward that. end. Another question, I wish your chamber would please forward to me all of the best data you can get as to the present conditions of the mining Interests in Oregon, but partic ularly the amount of mining product. I want to use this before the committee to which has been referred my bill for the establishment of an assay office at Portland. The chairman of that committee Is with me. I hope to Induce the other members to look favorably upon it. The last part of the letter was referred to the mining committee. Complaint From Snnnyslde. C. McClelland, of Sunnyslde, "Wash., wrote that there should be better railroad connections between the Northern Pa cific at Pasco and the O. R. & N. at Wal lula. "People who have come that way. say they have had to wait all day and then walk a mile between Hunt's Junc tion and some other point." The letter was referred to the transportation com mittee. Mr. Lewis remarked that Sunny side marks about the line where Portland encounter Seattle and Spokane merchunts. Against Leasing Public Lands. The letter from Burns stockmen asking for the co-operation of Portland against land-leasing, was considered. Mr. .Hahn said the chamber had airendy taken ac tion twice on this subject, the last time December 31. When the matter was up two year sago the Portland Chamber of Commerce tried to get the co-operation of other Northwest cities against land-leasing. President Mears suggested that the let ter be forwarded to the Oregon delegation at Washington Instead of filed. Mr. Ayer thought It advisable for the president and secretary of the Chamber to Indorse the letter and so forward It. Mr. Lewis be lieved that In sending requests to Wash ington for Information the Representatives in Congress be requested to give their opinions is to the subjects considered. (Concluded on Second Page.) PARTY LINES DRAWN Philippine Question Strictly a Partisan Matter. BITTER FEELING IN THE SENATE Southern Ferocity of Tillman Again Displayed Representation In the South Admiral Schley's Appeal WASHINGTON. Jan. 28. Bitter feeling between the two parties in the Senate " broke out in a very acrimonious debate j today, and it shows that the Philippines have divided the Republicans and Demo crats on lines folly as sharply drawn as the Southern Issue or the "force bill." Nothing but the firm hand of the presid- Ing officer will prevent disgraceful scenes, and the Senate bordered very closely on that today. Tillman, whom It was sup posed had become tamed in his six years' service, broke out In all his Southern ferocity, and had a wordy war with Sen ator Spooner, who Is so well equipped to defend the Republican policies and legal questions. Teller, who has drifted to the Democratlq side, and seems more em bittered than others against his old party, stirred both Senators Foraker and Lodge to a high pitch, and Lodge strode across the Senate chamber, forcing Teller to re construct his language, and denouncing In emphatic terms the statements which Teller had made regarding the Republican position. The fact that Senator Frye had to call the Senate down for Its exciting controversy shows how Intense the feeling had become during the day's debate. The Democrats say privately that they are making political capital for their side; but evidently they do not think so, as they would be willing to allow the debate to remain on In an orderly manner rather than to engage In bitter denunciations of the Administration and their Republican opponents. The popularity of their po sition Is evidenced by the few comments of the press advising the opposition to legislate for the Philippines in a rational way. Representation In the South. Some Northern and Western Republi cans are making a great deal of trouble for the Republicans that are in Congress from the South. The men who are try ing to force through the Crumpacker bill, reducing the representation of the South ern States,, are meeting with fierce oppo sition1 by the Southern Republicans, who are opposing that plan. It Is the same fight that has occurred in National con ventions heretofore when attempts have been made to apportion the delegates upon the votes cast. Instead of the Crumpacker bill, the Southern Republicans would like a strict Federal election law, but such a proposition meets with so much disfavor everywhere that It will not be proposed. It would simply mean a revival of the old force bill, which would surely be defeated In the Senate. Admiral Schley's Appeal. Rear-Admlral Schley's appeal to the President may not be disposed of for some time; but when the decision Is reached there seems to be no longer any doubt that President Roosevelt will uphold the findings of the court of Inquiry. It Is already asserted that the Navy Depart ment has answered every contention of Schley In favor of the court. Schley's appeal and these answers are now being iw mA consldcred by the President, but those who are In a position to know say that the President will not reverse the depart ment. The Pacific Cable. The House committee, in deciding in fa vor of a Government cable, has carried out the wishes of the Army and Navy and others who have Investigated the subject, und have reported that the best Interests of the United States would be with a Gov ernment cable. Fears are expressed by all those parties that think a private com pany should lay a cable to Hawaii and the Philippines, but If this were done, It '. would become an auxiliary of the Eastern Extension Company, and become simply a working arrangement with -the British cable system, to the detriment of United j States Interests. The British company now claims the right to all telegraphic business In the Philippines by reason of Its franchises, and also asserts that no I other cables shall be laid either to the Philippines from the United States to or from the Philippines to the mainland of China. If any cable Is laid by a private corporation. It Is said that it would stop at the Philippines and the Eastern Com- ! pany would still have the line between the Philippines and China. Factional Fight Against Spooner. . Quite a bitter fight Is being waged on GOSH! Senator Spooner by the members of the Wisconsin delegation, who are supporting Governor La Follette, "and are trying to defeat Spooner for re-election to the Sen ate. Spooner 13 rather Independent, and says if Wisconsin wants to dispense with his services. It can do so. The main ob jection to Spooner Is that he does not perform all of the duties that certain members of the delegation think he should In the matter of patronage and personal affairs. There Is a faction of the dele gation, however, which Insists that Wis consin cannot afford to dispense with the services of the ablest man In the Senate. An Additional Lightship. Bids were opened today for the con struction of an additional lightship for the Pacific Coast, authorized by the last Congress, to be used as an emergency or relief vessel. The lowest bid was that of the Berlee Drydock Company, of New Yory, for JS5.000. Four other bids, rang ing from $112,000 upward, were received from other Eastern bidders. No bid was submitted by Pacific Coast firms. Bryan Working the Malls. The Postofflce Department has excluded a part of the Issue of Bryan's Commoner from the privilege of second-class mail rates. Bryan has been sending this paper free to many Senators and Representa tives, and the department rules that while not advertising an article, he is advertis ing a "theory," or "doctrine." and by so doing cannot enjoy the privileges of free distribution through the mails at aecond class rates. Hereafter, all free copies of the Ccmmoner must be stamped. POWER BEHIND THE THRONE Formal Debut of the Dowager Em press Before the Ministers. PEKIN, Jan. 2S. The Dowager Empress made her formal debut before the Foreign Ministers here today at the diplomatic reception. She occupied the throne In the main audience chamber, while the Em peror sat behind a table on a low dais before the throne. The fiction of recog nizing the Emperor as the sovereign was maintained, but the Dowager Empress was the personage of chief Interest and Importance. Governmental business will be practi cally suspended for one month on account of the. Chinese New Year festivities. While the Manchurian treaty Is almost ready to sign. It probably will not Ee signed until after the New Year. Bathing Establishment Burned. MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich., Jan. 2S. Fire today destroyed the mineral bath bouse connected with the Avery Hotel here. Loss, $30,000. CHOICE CF ROUTES Spooner's Substitute For Nicaragua Canal Bill IS INTRODUCED IN THE SENATE Authorize the President to Select Either the Pannmn or the North ern Survey Fixes Limit of Cost. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Just before the adjournment of the Senate Senator Spooner today Introduced a substitute for the Nicaragua Canal bill. The new bill Is a practical authorization to the Presi dent of the United States to choose be tween the Panama and the Nicaragua routes. The first provision looks to the acquisition of the franchises, right of way and other property of the new Pan ama Canal Company of France, including that company's control of the Panama Railroad. The President Is authorized to pay 540,000,000 for these, "provided a satis factory title can be obtained." He is then authorized to secure the necessary concessions from the Republic of Colombia, these to include the per petual control of a 10-mlle strip of terri tory from the Caribbean Sea to the Pa cific Ocean. A canal sufficient to accom modate the largest vessels Is then to be constructed, under the supervision of the Secretary of War. The bill also carries an alternative pro vision authorizing the President to pro ceed with the construction of the Nica ragua Canal in case he fails to secure the necessary concessions from Colombia or a satisfactory title from the Panama Canal Company. An Immediate appropriation of $10,000,000 Is -ainde In either event. The limit of cost Is fixed at $135,000,000 in case the Panama route Is chosen, while J1GO.000.000 Is allowed in case the choice falls on the Nicaragua route. ON TURKISH TERRITORY. Brigands Will Not Liberate Miss Stone In Bulgnrln. VIENNA, Jan. 2S. A telegram has been received from Sofia, sayirg that the brig ands wfch the liberation of Miss Stone, the captive American missionary, to take place upon Turkish territory, and that the Turkish Government will not consent to this arrangement unless It be advised of the time and place of the passage of the brigands across the frontier. The Turkish Government ateo requires that a neutral escort accompany the brigands. Ransom Money Not Paid. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. The State De partment today received a dispatch from the United States representatives In Tur key regarding the case of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary neld by brigands, and her companion. Madame Tsllka. Its contents were disappointing, the captives not having been released, as was hoped would be the case from the manner In which the negotiations looking to that end had been progressing lately. The officials are averse to discuss the case freely, but It Is understood that the hesi tation ot the brigands to bring the mat, ter to a prompt conclusion Is due to their distrust of the attitude assumed by the Turkish authorities. The ransom money demanded had not been paid. The State Department will continue to exert every effort to secure tho release of the women, but Immediate prospects are less reassur ing. Charges Agulnst Governor Murphy. TUCSON. Ariz., Jan. 2S. Advices re ceived from Washington today state that charges have been filed with the President against Governor Murphy, of Arizona. The charges specify alleged violations of the law. The charges were made by Presi dent Ives, of the Territorial Council, and were presented, by Delegate Smith, of Ari zona.
