BACKING THE STEAMSHIP DEAL. Eastern Tronic Roads Oirnen of the Bis Combination. NEW YORK. May 7. Tho Evening Post to-day says that a dispatch to that paper from London to the" effect that some of the large American railroads are to be the principal owners of the steamship combination was confirmed to-day In trustworthy quarters. The Post says: "Efforts are being made, however, to keep the matter as secret as possible, be- . cause of tho opposition which has been stirred up abroad and which might arise here In case the facts were known In re gard to the ownership of the steamship companies. "It Is admitted In well-informed circles that it is planned to make the ocean lines feeders to the largest railroad transporta tion companies of the United States, so that it will be possible to control rates from principal interior points of this country to leading European centers. "Several large railroad companies sup posed to bo Eastern trunk lines are rep resented in the underwriting syndicate for $50,000,000, which has Just been formed to guarantee the success of the steamship deal, and these are supposed to be the Pennsylvania, New York, Erie, Reading and Baltimore & Ohio, although there Is some doubt whether all of theso will come in. "In regard to the railroads, It should be said that the Interest in tho under writing does not necessarily imply that they have officially subscribed as yet to the syndicate, but subscriptions have been offered which are Intended for them, and those who have taken them are agents for the railroads." 3IOXON AND LOUISVILLE.

President McDoel, of the Monon, who denied on Monday tha his road would be controlled by the Louisville & Nashville, at the same tlmo admitted that it would be for the mutual benefit of both roads If they were operated in harmony. Under such an arrangement the Louisville & Nashville railroad would have a direct In let to Chicago, and a new system, with almost a direct line from Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico, would be estab lished, with about 5700 miles of trade Tlmbermen.

Dr. Harry Lane Likens Jadse Will lams to an Oak "Rotten at the Heart." The fusion candidates for city and county offices held a meeting in Gomex Hall, in Albina, last evening. While the crowd did not more than half fill the hall, tho people who were there were quite en thusiastic After adjournment some of the leaders discussed the plan of secur ing a drum and perhaps other musical Instruments to help get out a crowd for the meeting to be held this evening. The meeting was without particular Incident, except that Dr. Harry Lane. In illustrat ing the age disqualification of Judge George H. Williams for the office of Mayor, compared him with "a large tree In the forest which has every appearance of strength and vitality, but Is rotten at tho heart," The use of this startling similo created no small surprise and was received by the audience with perfect si lence. Tho speakers, with scarcely an excep tion, gave no attention to their Repub lican opponents. Many spoke In terms of pralso of the le.ading Republican candi dates. In fact, hot ono word was offered by tho fuslonlsts showing any wrong that had ever been done by tho Republic an nominees, or anything In their public or private conduct that would warrant the people in refusing to vote for them next June. The speeches as a rule showed that th& candidates had prepared for tho occasion, several of them having a good stock of stories to relate. Senator Inman, who was billed as the chief speaker, occupied tho floor but a short time. Tho meeting was advertised for "8 o'clock, but at that hour only a few peo ple had assembled. During the next half hour the crowd grew until there were enough present to warrant tho chairman In calling the meeting to order. The au dience was composed of Democrats, with a sprinkling of Slmonites, though the lat ter were not as numerous as they might be expected -to be, considering the large defection which the Democrats hopo ex ists. The meeting was caldled to order at 25 minutes to 9 o'clock by N. P. Peery. All tho candidates present were Invited to the platform. Mr. Peery made some excuses for the size of the audience and announced that a grand rajly will bo held at tho Tabernacle this evening. Ho then introduced Mr. J. E. Werlcln, candidate for City Treasurer. Mr. Werleln reviewed the Republican county conventions of 1896 and 1902, and roasted the leaders of the majority of the latter assembly. He said that he has been taught to stand by party and party prin ciples, and that he debated the matter long before ho decided to take his present course. Ho spoke In commendatory terms of Judge Williams, but said that Mr. Williams Is too old to serve as Mayor of Portland For himself, he would work early and late for the election of R. D. Inman. He spoke In praise of other can didates, and then brlofly In behalf of hte own candidacy. The next speaker was R. D. Inman. He was received with generous applause. He said that ho would not speak long, but desired that the people understand his position. "He said that ho did not seek the nomination for the mayoralty, for he knew the duties of the office are so heavy as to require a sacrifice of his own busi ness Interests. He had accepted the nom ination only after the earnest solicitation of his friends. He said that if elected, he would run the office as he runs his mill, both night and day. He asked the people to support not only himself, but the whole ticket. He said regarding his policy as Mayor, that he would require honesty and efficiency of all officials, and would give equal rights to all and special privi leges to none. He would make It his par ticular business to stop the damnable grafting which has been going on In this city. Chairman Peery then introduced Dr. Harry Lane, nominee for Senator. Dr. Lane pxcused himself for speaking from notes, and Bald that he Is no orator. He spoke In commendatory terms of citizens' movements, and especially approved the men elected on the citizens' Legislative ticket two years ago. He said that they did not enact a city charter against the interests of the city, but had passed a law under which the people themselves have a voice In making the charter. He ex pressed tho belief that the present Repub lican nominees cannot be depended upon to aid In tho passage of the proposed charter, and he believed the citizens' can didates should be elected In order to make the enactment of the charter certain. Dr. Lane told several very humorous stories, and then paid his respects to the Republican candidate for Governor, who, he thought, would not be a safe man to elect to fill the executive office. He said that he hid nothing unkind to say of Judge Williams, Republican nominee for Mayor, but asserted that Mr. Williams can be too easily "worked." In Illus tration of the disqualification of Judge George H. Williams because of his age, Dr. Lane likened him to a magnificent looking old tree in the forest, "which his every appearance of strength, but is rot ten at the heart," He had nothing to say against his opponent for the Senatorshlp, but said that It he received all the votes that had been tendered him, he would be elected by about 50.000 majority. After expressing the opinion that if the people of Portlind would secure the pas sage of the new charter they must elect the Citizens' candidates. Chairman Peery introduced G. C. Moser, who made quite an extended address. In the course of his remarks, he figured out that 26 per cent of the Republican County Convention named the county ticket, and that all the Democrats ind 4S per cent of the Repub licans are now opposing that ticket. H. B. Adam3, nominee for County Judge, was Introduced. He said that he was on the programme to be seen and not to be heard, and he wanted the peo ple to look at him so that they would know what their next CountyJudge looks like. He slid that he believes that In the managing of county affairs, too many clerks and deputies have been employed, and If he should be elected, he would see to It that the number is greatly reduced. E. C. Bronaugh, nomlno for City At torney, was the next speaker. He re viewed his own work as a Councilman, saying that he his not, been a representa tive of one ward, but of the whole city. Mr. Bronaugh spoke briefly In behalf of several of the candidates on the county ticket, and expressed the hopo tbdt the entire ticket would be elected. At this Juncture, a number of men be gan leaving the hall, and Chairman Peery urged the -ludlence to remain. The next speaker was E. A, Austin, nominee for the Legislature. Mr. Austin said that he is a laboring man, but believes with Burns that "A man's a man for a that," Ho spoke) in behalf of organized labor and sild that the Interests of the people re quire the election of the Citizens' ticket, M. V Davis, who was the next speaker, said that ho had been nominated with out his own desire, but considering the manner of his nomination, he felt certain of election. He believed that times -are changing In political affairs, for a few years igo It was Impossible for a labor ing man to get an office, but now the la boring men are receiving recognition. Ho was nominated In response to the de mands of a. labor union and observed dur ing the convention that when a laboring man spoke the politicians listened to them. Captain A. M. Cox, nominee for Con stable, briefly reviewed his record in that office. The meeting then adjourned. Dr. Harry Lane explained after the meeting adjourned tht in his reference to a tree "rotten at the heart" he raeint nothing disrespectful toward Judge Williams. RECEPTION TO MR. FURNISH.
