THE MOKNIKG OREGCXNIAN, WEDNESDAY, 'APRIL 9, 1902. 12 INMAN BACKS OUT Declines Positively to Run for Mayor. v- FUSIOKISTS ARE ALL IN THE AIR JPennoyy Would Suit aiany of Them, "but He Won't Have It W. E. Rob ertson Will, and He May Be Nominated. The fuslonists are once more engaged in the nerve-racking -work of Imntlng- for a candidate for Mayor. R. D. Inman, who has been looked upon as the assured nominee. Informed his brother Democrats yesterday morning that he would be posi tively unable to make the run. Mr. In man gave a number of reasons for with drawing from the race, all of which were eo strong that his fellow Democrats did not feel justified In pressing the doubtful honor upon him. It is not likely that he will be given up without a struggle, as he is looked upon as the best man who could be put up; but, unless he experi ences a decided change jot purpose between now and April 19, his name will not be allowed to go before the convention. So certain, in fact, are the Democrats that Mr. Inman has firmly and definitely made up his mind, that they spent all-yesterday afternoon looking for a substitute. Ben- noyer was taken down from the shelf upon which he is now perched, dusted and locked over, and it was agreed that he had a few more runs left in him, although there is no rosy confidence that he will poll the same vole against George H. Williams that he did four years ago, when D. Soils Cohen and Charles F. Beebe were dividing the Republican strength. Mr. Cohen, it will be remembered, was at that time the Regular Republican nominee, and finished third in the race. W. E. Robert son, who has served the Democracy in the capacity of candidate for the Mayor alty, is anxious to try his strength again, and it looked yesterday as if he stood a better chance of the nomination than any one else. While the Democratic lead ers are In doubt as to whether or not Pennoyer would become a candidate, even If he were unanimously urged, they be lieve they will he able to persuade him to do so, and will make the attempt if they decide that he will do. They have no doubt at all, however, as to Mr. Roh ertson's willingness, and are looking on him all the time with increasing favor. Tho news that Mr. Inman had again re fused to stand spread like wildfire among Democrats yesterday and created general consternation. This business of shifting about from one man to another, when the opposition candidate Is already in the field and gathering strength, does not look at all good to the Democrats, and a large number of them were in favor of dropping the quost for Mr. Inman and selecting forthwith and without more ado a man like Robertson, who does not ask that a nomination be handed him on a silver salver, or any other kind of a dish, Just so it is handed to him. There will be-a few more attempts, however, to change Mr. Inman's mind, but as the day of the convention approaches they will become less and less frequent. , the delegates. The opening session will be held at 2 P. M. Thursday; and-there will also be a session Thursday evening. Delegates from a majority of the commer cial organizations of the Northwest will be present, and the Portland Board will be represented "by 20 voting members. All members not delegates ere. However, in vited to attend. The Southern Pacific Company will grant special rates to all Valley delegates who expect to 'attend the convention. ' t WILL ARRIVE TODAY. air. Barrett and His Important Mis sion to the Orient. John Barrett, ex-TJnlted States Minister to Slam, will arrive in Portland this af ternoon by the Overland Limited, xn his way to Asia and Australia as Commls-sIoner-General for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Mr. Barrett will remain in Portland a week or-10 days, attending to private business mattere and visiting with old friends. Ho intends to sail from San Francisco April 23 by the steamer China, going first to Honolulu, and there de tprmlnlne whether he wilL-proceed next to Japan and China, or to New Zealand and Australia. Mr. Barrett Is undertaking a high diplo matic mission to all the Independent coun tries and dependencies of Asia and Aus tralasia to confirm the Invitation of the United States Government and of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition to these foreign governments to participate In the St Louis World's Fair. His chief re sponsibility will be negotiations with the high officials of these lands, and he will not be burdened with tho collection or preparation in any way of exhibits. Pres ident Roosevelt has taken the deepest in terest in the work before the Commissioner-General, and has himseir personally Instructed the State, War, and Navy De partments to do everything in their power to assist him In the Journey which he is undertaking. All the United States Minis ters and Consuls, as well as navai omcers and officials in the Philippines, have been instructed by Secretaries Hny, Root and Long to co-operate with Mr. Barrett an tho execution of his mission, ne win probably be gone from the United States about nine months, and he will travel over 25.000 miles. In letters to his friends, Mr. Barrett states that he regards and will always keep Portland as his legal residence. He la interesting himself more each year in Oregon real estate holdings, and, hopes af ter he has returned from the far East to settle down permanently in PortlandfHls prolonged absenco from this city has been due to work he has had to carry out for tha Government, such as delegate to the International Conference at Mexico and to positions such as he now holds. Although absent most of the time from Oregon, he has invariably advocated its interests wherever he has been. Ho will make his headquarters at the Portland Hotel dur ing his stay In this city. The Seattle Chamber of Commerce has sent him a special Invitation to deliver an address before that body before he sails on matters connected with the World's Fair and the development of our com merce with Pacific countries. While in Portland Mr. Barrett will confer with the officials of the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion with regard to its plan and scope. Mr. Barrett is accompanied by Theodore Hardee, late special agent of tho Postofflce Department and assistant secretary of the delegation to the Pan-American Congress, in the capacity of assistant and secretary. A NEW YORK PRODUCTION How "By Hlght of Sword' Will Be Given at the Baker. gQrr5 jr ,i- ' r-t v fmiaaeipnia JL,wn mowers in an sizes oest mauc, 2.25 to ouu. uriuul ) This tangle on the Mayoralty matter has not tended to clarify the rest of the situation. The plan to make Pennoyer run for Congressman, whether he would or no, has been sidetracked until it is de termined if he will be needed to head the city ticket, and the Congressional dele gates are once more in the air, with ilo landing place in sight. Charles E. Dadd is still a hot favorite for State Sen ator, but has not as yet chosen to en lighten the Democrats or any one else as to his intentions. For Representa tives, Li. G. Clarke has been talked of as a sop to the Republican malcontents, and will probably be nominated if he will take a place on the ticket. Thomas G. Greene and Dr. John Welch, one a gold and the other a silver Democrat, will also be recommended to the convention; but nine places on the ticket, to say nothing of nominations for Joint Senator and Representative, then remain to be filled, and there will be no end of trouble for the slatemakers before enough men have been rejecetd to get down to a working basis. A search among the numerous Democratic camps scattered through the various of fice buildings in townt reveals the fact that the number of Democrats who would be?wllllng to go to Salem and serve their constituents for the pittance paid by the state is almost as large as tho number of members of the party. There are also many dissatisfied Republicans who will need but little urging to go on the ticket and vindicate Simon, and the problem that confronts the fusion committee is dis tinctly one of whom to leave out. Of course, such Republicans as have been sidetracked by their party will be equally sore if they dd not get the nominations they want from, the Democrats, and as a consequence there is no end of breakers ahead of the people whose pleasant duty it has become to shape up a ticket thaH will prove Invincible at tho polls. There is no candidate for Sheriff in the Democratic rangs who is considered strong enough to get in the same class with ex Mayor Storey. Consequently it has been about decided to hand this plum to the Republicans, and both N. H. Bird and Dan J. jiiocre are ready to grasp it -with a firm right hand as soon as it is ex tended. Bird is believed to be the stronger man, as he is more inclined to resent his turn-down at the hands of the Republi cans than Moore, and it is a safe bet for those who feel like taking a few ante election risks that if any Republican 'is selected he will be" the man. D. M. Wat son, the always logical candidate of the Democrats for this office, has not yet en tered the lists If he does, the Democrats will have to take hhn. aside and dd some industrious whispering to him, before they can make him believe that the plan of giving this office to the Republicans is sound Democratic policy. It is an open fight for the minor offices. Both Republicans and Democrats are in the scramble, and there seems reason to "believe, now that the Demoorats have made up their minds not to be tho whole thing, that the nominations will be about equally divided. Until the Legislative ticket and the Mayoralty are well out of the way, little will be done with these offices, as none of them, save County Judge, have any political significance, and this has already been claimed by the Democrats. There has never been a theatrical com pany in Portland which produced plays as they are produced in New York, choos ing only fine dramas, mounting them with every detail of scenery and property that ingenuity and taste can suggest, and giv ing them an Interpretation by players who are of recognized ability and experi ence in their profession. That Is the reason that the Ralph Stuart Company, which will open a season at the Baker In "By Right of Sword," Sunday after noon, will make an Impression. The serv ices of a scenic artist have been secured for the entire encasement, and the stage force is busy supplying him with material on which to paint. The properties will bo under the direction of a specially trained man, whose duty it will be to see that everything that should be on the stage is there, whether it Is a mahogany parlor set, with piano to match, a dlnlng table laid with linen and covered with silverware, cut-glass and Havliand china, or an exterior with real porches, glass windows and blinds. The company Is composed of actors who come from New York and know how tnmgs are aone mere, and tho women are attractive, as well as talented, and combine personal charms with taste and ability to dress In that style which appeals to every member of both sexes. Mr. Stuart has for a long time been leading man of a well-known New York theater, and he will give his per sonal attention to the stage as well as to the company. Such an attraction as this has been long looked forward to by play-goers. It will be here Sunday af ternoon, and thero is no doubt that It will receive the patronage necessary to make the expense incident to the en gagement Justifiable. WORDS FROM A MOTHER. Mrs. W. J. Cuddy Thanks Friends for Kindness In Her Bereavement. PORTLAND, April 8. CTo the Editor.) Hno fmm a mother who Is irrievinff out her heart on the death of her little girl: To our xrlenas of tho newspapers ana all oth ers I wish to say this Is all very hard to bear, especially over this one. who coula never think of contention. I do not blame Mr. Cuddy and friends for feeling that an explanation Is dufc from Dr. Zan. Not that he should not use all caution in such cases, but why he should sin gle out our family, for surely others ara ncrt subjected to sucn treatment, or no couiu never hold such a position. At such a time why could he not for a moment consider the matter of Information on tho case, when Just a short time at the telephone would have given It all? I said to blm: "Dr. Zan, com and look at my baby; Bho is Just as pure as any one. All day before she died she lay with her head on my shoulder, her face close to mine, and her breath was Just as sweet ts ever it was." He said: "That would do no good; she could die of diphtheria and have that." Nothing 'would 'move him. She was carried from us like a contaminated thing. , To her friends all along her .little path of life; to those who were obliged to stand out In the rain around our home; to all, we give re grets. "Wo know It was a comfort to those who loved her to see how peaceful she looked. It was peace perfect peace. She has gone from us for a little while. No more pain; no more suffering. Let her rest; let her rest. Drop It all. Let One who can see all hearts be the Judge, Is the wish of her mother. D. JJC. CUDDY. I have taken the children out of school of my own motion, and will send them back when I get ready, that no other parents' children shall he liable to the suspicion of contagion. Time will tell who is right And here let us drop the newspaper part of it. W. J. CUDDY. LEWISTON MAN TO GOME.

At the meeting of the Board of Public "Works yesterday a request from Joseph Gaston for further delay in opening of Mala' street, from Chapman to King, -was Ignored and, bids for the work ordered to be advertised. Contracts were awarded for the Improvement of a number of streets and. "bids forthe Improvement of a number' of others were ordered advertised for. When the ordinance providing for the Improvement of Main street from Chap man to King came up, Joseph Gaston, with Seneca Smith as counsel, appeared and Mr. Smith explained that this street passes through land of Miss Gaston, who had now a suit before the Supreme Court, endeavoring to enjoin the opening of the street. There was doubt as to whether there was a street there at all or not, and as the opening of the street would pecessltate quite a deep cut, he thought that If the board suspended the grading until tho suit was decided It ought to do BO. It was explained to him that the board had nothing: to do In the case but to let the contract and oversee the work; but Mr. Smith thought the board had power to fix the time for opening the street, and as there was no hurry about this, if they could put it off, they ought to. Mr. Haradon, who lives on Main street, said the people there 'had been trying" for years to get a road through the Gaston property, and everybody on the street, except Gaston, was In favor of It. It would bo one of the most beautiful streets In the city, and he hoped the board would grant their request Hie gave a, synopsis of the history of the troubles and law suits that had been gone through In endeavoring to secure the opening of the street. Fred Page also spoke in favor of the street being opened, and told of the benefit it would be to' property owners. Chairman Mills thought It would be a reflection on the Council for the board to undertake to hold up the Improvement, and a motion by Breyman that bids for the work be advertised for was carried by a unanimous vote. The contracts for the Improvement of streets were awarded as follows: An alley from Commercial street to Albina avenue, to Louis Janin and Peter Lynch. Union avenue from East Oak to East Burnslde. to Idnd & Manning, Rellly & Stevens, and J. R. O'Nell. King street, from Main to the end of King street, to Fralney & Keating. Twelfth street, from Stark to Everett, to Star Sand Company. Rodney avenue, to Louis Janin. Contracts for sewers on Hawthorne ayenuo and Kerby steets were awarded to J B. Slemmons. An application was received from Calvin Brown for a position as engineer of the new steam road roller, which was re ferred to the committee on streets. . It was ordered that bids be advertised for Improvements on Main, East Mill, East Salmon, and East Everett streets and Albina avenue. F. P.

He was told that the Engi neer would be pleased to receive and test them. Mana'ger Fuller, of the Portland Rail way Company; appeared and presented two schemes for paving between the tracks of the road that company is about to lay through two blocks on Burnslde street, which are paved with brick In a concrete foundation. One was for re placing the brick, and the other for re placing them with stone blocks. It was explained that the board had no authority to cnange tne material, but that they much preferred the stono blocks, and would pass a resolution ad vising the Council to have the stone blocks used. meeting, where 70,000 student volunteers wero enrolled, whose motto was "The Evangelization of the "World In This Gen eration." especially among women was this spirit shown.
