NO LIGHTYET ON GOVERNORSHIP All Candidates Are in the Running State Printeriihip Still In the Air Who "Will Be Attorney-General? Other Candidates. The Multnomah delegation last night decided to cast Its 67 votes for J. N. "Williamson, of Crook, for Congress, thus Insuring his nomination over Mal colm A. Moody. The Congressional Convention of the Second District will be called to order at 10 o'clock today st the Armory Hall. The state conven tion will meet tomorrow at 10 A. M. at the same place. 4 The Multnomah delegation crowned Mr. "Williamson's hopes when It met In cau cus last night and Indorsed him for tho Congressional nomination. All but six of. the delegates were present when the cau cus was called to order, and these six were represented by proxy before the close of the session. Charles H. Carey presided at the caucus, and Guy G. "Willis acted as secretary. No official action was taken other than on the Congressional matter, although there was much Informal discus sion of the possibilities of the state con vention after adjournment. The unit rule adopted with reference to Mr. Williamson will not apply to any of the candidates to come before the state convention, and it Is .likely that another caucus will be held this evening to shape the policy of the1 dtlegattona In the deliberations, of that body. j The news that Multnomah was caucus ing soon spread to the hotel corridors, where other delegates were- assembled, and there was much anxious inquiry as to what was going on. When the result of the caucus leaked out, as it did almost at the instant of adjournment, there was great jubilation among the Williamson leaders, and a corresponding depression among the Moody men, who recognized that the death knell of their cause had been sounded. It's up to Multnpmah County to settle the Governorship; and Multnomah does not want to take a deciding hand in the nominating game. That is the situation in a nutshell. It is practically conceded on all sides that the nomination shall oe thrown to some place away from Portland; and it is awkward, where all are friends, to declare for one and against all others. This is not to say that the delegates frcm this county have forgotten that Grer and Simon had a working alliance- in Marlon County, and it is not to say that they would be happy to cast their 67 votes for the Governor if Furnish, Johns and other aspiring" gentlemen would gracefully re tire from the game. But, doubtless, they would do It with the best possible show of heartiness and good will If Geer were in the eyes of the state at large the most available timber. The delegation is not for Geer in the present situation; and it has by no means made up its mind to go for the man from Pendleton. If w now Richmond should arise, who, by .lis erpi nent qualities, should everywhere be looked upon as just the man of allien for the place, he would have no trouble in getting 67 votes from this county. But who Is he? Senator Fulton might be looked upon with a great deal of favor if he would consent to allow the use of his name !n connection with a place he says poslUvely he does not want. Senator Williamson, of Crook, has impressed a number of people with his abilities, but he Is distinctly not, available, as, like Mr. FuUod, he is a candidate for another office and, doubt less, a successful one. Senator Booth Is by many regarded as an ideal man for Governor, but he declares that his busi ness engagements, as well as his political associations, place it entirely out of tle question. Then, what is the matter with Furnish or Johns? Nothing so far as any delegate from Multnomah can be led to say. But the delegation wans to tee first. "We want Furnish, or Joans, or Geer, or Ankeny, or anybody else that wants the job of Governor, to show us that he Is the best candidate, and will get the most votes," said a delegate trom Multnomah yesterday. "Then we shall be for him. The truth Is that we don't know what to do, or rather we have not con vassed the matter among Ourselves enough to make up our minds what we are gcl'ig to do. We are going to wait and see the man that gets our votes is the man who we are convinced will lead the state ticktt to a grea't and overwhelming victory." So the delegation has not been committed to anything, except to Williamson, and the unit rule for Congressional nomination purposes. That it is feeling its way cau tiously is shown by Its action last sign. Governorship. It may decide to take up state candidates. Multnomah Is In ihe same hesitating and uncertain attitude in the matter of minor state offices as !n the Governorship. It may decided to take up and press a candidate for a state office, 'and then again it may not. So there you are. Judge Cake, it is said, would accept the Attorney-Generalship; but the delega tion does not know about it. There Is nothing the trouble with the Judge for Attorney-General, or for Governor; It sim ply remains to be seen .whether the county will decide to ask for this or any otter place. The only county that seems to be here with an eye single to the Attorney-Generalship is Douglas. Its 14 delegates arc for A. M. Crawford, and they are pre pared to do business on that basis. A. S. Hammond has the support of his own county Jackson but he seems to suffer fronf some embarrassment In that the first purpose of the delegation Is to secure the Tcncmlnation of Governor Geer. Doubtless, the 12 Jackson County dele gates are heartily enoush for Mr. Him Sond, but he Is not able to handle them the practical way that Mr. Crawford has arranged things. Mr. Blackburn's boom is orphaned by his failure to get his own county, and Frank T. Wrlghtman, who comes from Marlon, and did not win his fight against Geer, Is making a sym pathetic campaign among the delegates who are not friendly to the Governor. Mr. Hammond claims pretty much all Southern Oregon, and Mr. Crawford claims the same, and is reaching out for more, so his friends say. So is Hammond. It is, all around, a very pretty fight, and everybody who has declared himself in it is in the running" up to date. There is a multitude of candidates for State Printer, with a few counties to hear from. It is a fat place, and persons who J. X. Williamson. have delved Intq the mysteries of the art preservative, anastyne wtio have not. all regard themselves ?s fully qualified' to" hold down the job. The available timber, so far as heard from, includes: I. I. Por ter, of Clackamas; J. R. Whitney, of Linn; F. W. Chausse, of Josephine; W. J. Clarke, of Marlon; Willis S. Dunlway, S. C. Beach and Graham Glass, of Multno mah; Edward Everett Young, of Baker, and seme others. The contest has taken no definite lines, and probably will not, until the Governorship Is in a fair way to be settled. As it is, it is anybody's fight, and the best man will win, if he has the votes on the show-down. For Supreme Judge, no opposition has developed to Justice R. S. Bean, and F. I. Dunbar, for Secretary of 'Stateand C. S. Moore, for State Treasurer, appear to have similarly easy sailing. For Superintendent of Public Instruction J. H. Ackerman has opposition in Professor W. C. Alderson and Professor A. P. Armstrong,-bpth of Portland. Something of a flurry was created in the hotel lobbies last night by the announce ment that Walter H. Moore, of Sherman County, had decided to become a candi date for Governor. Mr, Moore is a promi nent capitalist and Republican of Eastern Frank McBenn, of Grant, pones for his -picture. Oregon, and Is one of the four delegates from Sherman. It Is Intimated that Mr Mpore expects to get the support of Wasco County, and that he has been waiting until the Congressional fight aras practically out of the way before making his announce ment. SWARM OF DELEGATES. They Have Come From Every Quar ter, and Fill Hotel Lobbies. Yesterday was a busy day In and around the various hotel. lobbies and other po litical resorts. "The good Republicans who had remained at home to attend Easter services with their wives and cull dren. began to arrive on the early trains, (Concluded on Paep. 10.) &JttL Wl GANAL BILL IS NEXT Nicaragua Measure to Fol low Exclusion Act. ITS FRIENDS ARE UNEASY Rumor That "Western Irrigation Men "Will Combine to Detent River and Harbor BUI Discredited - Mitchell in Debate. WASHINGTON, March ,31. While no definite promises have been made, there seems to be quite a general understanding that the Nicaragua Canal bill Is coming up as soon as the Chinese exclusion bill is out of the way, and yet the Philippine Government bill reported today may be used to antagonize the Nicaragua meas ure, on the ground that It Is necessary to put through a Philippine bill at an early date. "While the friends of the Nicaragua bill are not alarmed, yet they feel that all delays are now more or less danger ous. The Philippine government bill is a par ty measure, and the party whip can be used to force it ahead of the canal bill If there appears to be 'any good reason for doing so. It Is probable that If the Nica ragua bill is put forth, it will be made subject to consideration of appropriation bills, and the conference report on the revenue repeal bill. Partial promises have been obtained from, members of the steer ing committee that the Nicaragua bill shall come next, but the fact that it has not been definitely 'decided on creates some uneasiness. No Rcgrret at Jones' Defeat. "Very little regret Is expressed by Sena tors today over the defeat of Jones, of Ar kansas. In fact, most of the Democrats of the Senate think Jones has monopolized the party leadership in himself and that he has been a decided failure, not only as National chairman, but as chairman of the Democratic caucus committee. It is believed that if he is out of the way, Gorman will succeed to his old place as Democratic leader of the Senate next year. River and Harbor BUI In Xo Danger. Rather a wild story has been set afloat in the East that the river and harbor bill will be defeated by Western men who favor irrigation on account of the atti tude of the President on the pending irri gation, measure. Of course a lot will have tp be taken for. granted in. thls as the. -ivcr aa l caruur out is imeiy .u pass un- Senate before the Irrigation hilt ls--con-sldcred in the House or reaches the Presi dent. As a matter of fact, it is doubtful if the irrigation measure can pass, or If it is Intended to pass. Many advocates of the irrigation scheme understood that the bill was put through the Senate In order to avoid any complications with the river and harbor bllL Any attempt to defeat the river and har bor bill by debate was for the arid land State Senators to talk a great many hours dally, as the need of a river and harbor bill Is well understood by all commercial Interests affected. Mitchell's Tilt "With Bacon. Senato.r Mitchell had quite a controversy with Bacon, of Georgia, today, when he presented an article from the New York Herald which severely arraigned the beef trust, asserting that this 'trust lowered the cost of cattle to stockralsers while raising the prlcei of beef to the consumer. He claims that this trust was opposed to the oleomargarine bill which, if passed, would be to their disadvantage. Bacon undertook to get a little funny, and asked Senator Mitchell what he knew about cat fish belng colored and canned and sold as Columbia River salmon, and. If he did not think that there should be legislation to prevent any fraud upon the Pacific Coast fish. Senator Mitchell remarked that he was opposed to fraudulent "food of all kinds, but that, as to all bills he would meet them when they came up for consideration. At present he was in fa vor of the oleomargarine bill, and would be consistent when other measures of a similar character was presented. He Inci dentally remarked that cottonseed oil was allied with the beef trust In opposing the oleomargarine bill. Foster's Lighthouse Bills. The House committee on Interstate com merce today favorably reported four of Senator Foster's lighthouse bills recently passed by the Senate, as follows: -Appropriating $15,000 for lighthouse at Burrows Is:and, Rosarlo Strait; $22,000 for light house at Mukllteo Point, near Everett; $C0W for fog signal at Battery Point, and $22,000 for completing lighthouse at Brown's Point, Tacoma Harbor. $25,000 For Rainier National Parle. The (Senate today passed Senator Fos ter's bill appropriating $23,000 for Improv ing the Mount Rainier National Park by construction of roads, bridges and trails. MILES TO STAY ISOLATED. Rebuked General Plans to Keep Aloof From Administration. WASHINGTON, March 31. It Is stated that General Miles intends to preserve a "splendid isolation" In his future relations with the Administration. The attitude or the President and Secretary of War I.- not crltlslzed In the main, although it : suggested that the strictures arc rather harsh. One thing is sure, if General Miles violates any of the military pro prieties in the future he will receive more than a criticism. He will be Immediately retired. It is a well-understood fact that Roosevelt, -when he became President, was well disposed toward Miles, but he soon realized that he could not support the Commanding General unless he should turn down his Secretary of War. After an investigation of all conditions, he de termined to support the Secretary rather than the General, but he has said that he .might be able to get along without any rupture with the General, as Mc Klnley did. His rebuke of Miles In rela tion to the Schley controversy is regarded here as rather uncalled tor, but It is well understood that he could by no possible means support General Miles In his recent contention. General Miles, in taking a strong position against the establishment of military posts near large cities on the ground that it would tend to overawe the laboring classes, and also the reversal of his opinion on the canteen question, in both of which Instances he opposed the Secretary of War and the Administration, was regarded as making a bid for the Presidency. The General's personal friends deeply re gret the situation In which he finds him self placed and feel that the President has been unduly harsh. The Mile's Inci dent is believed to be one of many that will cause dissatisfaction with Roosevelt and arouse opposition to his renomlnation, as will his action in the Schley case. Both of these are instances of how the Presi dent's vigorous personality comes to the surface when he is required to take action. EASTER MONDAY CARNIVAL White House Sward Alive "With Swarms of Children. WASHINGTON, March 3L The treen sward back of the White House was alive today with swarms of children, who, with baskets filled with brightly colored eggs, entered with zest Into the annual Easter Monday egg-rolling carnival. The sky was alternately bright and overcast, but neither contingency seemed to affect the spirits of the young revelers. The at tendance was not confined to children, for a great many old persons were present, some to keep a watchful eye on the young ones, and others to see a pretty sight. The throng was thoroughly cosmopolitan, all sorts and conditions of children ming ling freely in the fun. The grounds were opened from 9 o'clock in the morning until sunset. The Marine Band gave a con cert at 4 o'clock, and brought to a close a thoroughly enjoyable day for the younger generation. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt and their children, together with a number of friends, appeared on the portico of the White House while the crowds were on the grounds, and the former was kept busy acknowledging the many salutations he received from the little ones. The party remained on the portico until the gusts of wind . and a threatened shower drove the multitude to shelter. REBELS .TAKE TOWN. Government Gunbunt Lateij Bom bards and Retakes It. SANTO DOMINGO, Republic of Santo Domingo, March 31. The town of Bara hona, on the south coast, was attacked and captured by the revolutionists, after a severe fight In which 40 were killed or wounded. Later a government gunboat bombarded Barahona and retook the town. The revolutionists retired to a stronghold In the neighborhood. The Dominican Congress has decreed that martial law be established through out the whole republic, and that the con stitutional guarantees be suspended. ,t Soldlr-ra Guajd All Trains. NEW YORK. March 3L Every train across the Isthmus is being guarded by 50 Government soldiers as a result of the skirmish at Empire Station Saturday, when one man was killed and another taken prisoner, siys a Panama dispatch to the Herald. Trains are running as usual. So far this year 500,000 quintals of cof fee have been shipped from Guatemala. A great scarcity of labor prevails there. Situation in Hnyti Serious. KINGSTON, Jamaica, March 31. Large numbers of Haytien refugees are arriving here in consequence of the political up heaval in Hayti. They say the situation Is serious and that trouble is certain to oc cur soon. IN HIS OWN DEFENSE. Waller on Charge of Killing Xatlvcs In Samar Without Trial. MANILA, March 31. Major Littleton W. T. Waller, of the Marine Corps, testified in his own behalf today at his trial by court-martial on the charge of killing na tives of the Island of Samar without trial. He graphically described the hardships the marines endured owing to the treachery of the natives, and the attempted robbery of arms, and said he was not aware that the guide, Victor, was a notorious and Infamous insurgent Captain, who had led Insurgents at Basey and Balanglga, other wise he would not have allowed Victor to go with the party. The Major also said he carried out General Smith's orders entirely and never went beyond them except In the last paragraph of the order which he Is sued on taking command of the marines, calling on the latter to avenge the slaugh ter at Balanglga of their comrades of the Ninth Infantry in the Chinese expedition. Every other act General Smith actually inspired. SUMMARY OF THE DAY'S NEWS. Congress. Senate will take up Nicaragua Canal bill after Chinese exclusion. Page 1.

FORCES DRAWN UP Tacoma Political Braves in Battle Today. WILL MAYOR CAMPBZLL WIN? He Leads the Republicans, and i Frnnlc B. Cole the Democrats Issue Is Clear-Cut and Fight Is to n Finish. The municipal election at Tacoma to day will be warm. The Issue Is clean cut between Republicans and Demo crats. Among the officers! chosen will be Mayor, Treasurer. Controller and a number of Councllmen. Lul3 D. Camp bell, Republican leader, and present Mayor, desires to succeed himself, and he Is opposed by Frank B. Cole. Demo cratic candidate for the office. By win ning Tacoma, the Democrats and Sen ator Turner hope to secure Legislative strength In Pierce County. The result of the contest Is expected to be a very close one. TACOMA, March 31. The municipal elec tion, to be held In this city tomorrow, Is ISayor Campbell. r , for the purpose of choosing a Mayor, a Treasurer, a Controller and about half the members of the Council. Although, It will not be so lively nor fraught with so much state importance as the Seattle elec tion of a month ago, it will be hotly con- $ tested. The campaign has been waged for a month past, dlflerlng'in this respect con siderably from the Seattle campaign. But during the past four weeks It has pretty much occupied the attention of the public, to the dlregard of other municipal affairs. As to the outside Influence the result of the eleotlon may have, It may be stated In a few words that If the Democratic ticket is successful. It will probably result in Pierce County's having a Democratic candidate for Congress to be pitted against Congressman Cushman, and It will lend encouragement to the Democracy to make a hard fight for members of the Legisla ture later In the year. Campbell's Strength and Weakness. The big light In Tacoma at this time is between Louis D. Campbell, present Mayor, who desires to succeed himself, and Frank B. Cole, the Democratic candi date for the ofllce. Campbell was elected two years ago by a email majority, some thing like 200 votes. He Is a positive char acter, a man loyal to his friends, and Is credited with doing his own thinking and carrying his convictions to a point where he disdains criticism. During his admin istration, he has incurred hostility, but it has seemingly not deterred him. In one In stance, where the city was about to enter into a contract for street lights, the Mayor selected the highest bidder as the proper party to whom to award the contract. He argued that what was apparently the highest bid was really the best for the city, and persuaded many people that he was right. He Has No Regrets. But in taking this course he antagonized the newspapers and many members of his 11 fyLsiilJigJIj Frnnk B. Cole. 1 1 own party. Yet on the stump in the pres ent campaign he saj he has nothing to apologize for, and insists he would do over again what has aroused the protest. This fact will cause him some trouble tomor-" row, but it Is said by many people It will be as nothing compared to the trouble his Chief.of Police will cause him. Chief of Police Makes Trouble. Mayor Campbell, at the beginning of hl3 administration, appointed William Facklet Chief of Police. Fackler had had no prior police experience, nor, In fact, any expe rience In the management of men, and In passing over the heads of competent mem bers of the department, the Mayor appears to have made a mistake. Fackler was not in office long until he began to blunder. He has a liking for display, and It has gotten him into endleis trouble. He is (Concluded on Fourth Page.)
