HAS ALREADY PASSED SENATE Trusts Would Like to Have dregon Go-vDemocratlc Spooner Priming to Answer Opponents of Our , Philippine Polio. For the first time since efforts have been made to get pensions for veterans of. the Indian wars, the House of Repre sentatlves seems favorable to the pass age of the bill that has "already passed the Snate. Its success at this cession or Congress Is deemed probable. The trusts are jsald to be in favor of Oregon going Democratic, la the hope that it will be construed as evidence of unpopularity of the President's anti trust activity. WASHINGTON. May.l6. The most grat ifying .thing the Republican leaders" of the Hobse of Representatives can say to the people tf Oregon is that there is a very favorable prospect that the Indian war veterans pension bill will bo consid ered and passed at this session. There is the very best authority fof this statement, and. the prospects are that when, .some of the more Important business already scheduled- for this -session is out of the way,- this bill will be taken up. tl Is definitely asserted by those In control that the bill will be reported and be ready for consideration when the House reaches the stage of taking up legislation under suspension of the rules. This Is the first time that there has been any definite prospect of the bill pass ing. As It has already passed the Senate, the bill is in a most favorable position, especially when It has the indorsement of the men who control legislation in the House, and is being urged by the Presi dent. The Charges Against Ide. fc Senator Hanna, -who is acting as chair man of the subcommittee having In charge the Ide case, had a conference with Charles Bedford today, and told him that the charges must be presented to the com mittce.so that it could act by the next meeting. ,The members of the committee want to have the matter disposed of, so that it will not longer take up time. Bed ford told Senator Hanna that he .had not yet formulated the charges which He de sired to make against Ide, but Indicated that he would do so in ample time for. consideration by the next meeting 6t the committee. Trusts Want Oregon Democratic. It is understood, by Oregon men hero that certain tro.s'ts are preparing to bring whatever influence they can to defeat the Republican party in Oregon, because they believe that such defeat will be construed as a rebuke to the President, and they will make the most of it in future cam paigns. It is claimed that a defeat in Oregon would be heralded as an evidence of the unpopularity of President Roose velt and hla policies, among them being the attack that he has made through the Attorney-General on the "merger" and the meat combination. The championship of the isthmian canal by the President Is another policy which those who wish to make capital against him will point out as having Its effect If Oregon should" be adverse to the Republican party. Democrats Are Fatigued. It is the Democrats, Instead of the Re publicans, Tvho are now tired of the Phil ippine debate. They especially dislike the attitude which Senator Spooner has as sumed during the past few weeks. The Wisconsin Senator has listened to every speech, and has carefully read the record of the printed speeches, and there Is a general understanding that he Is going to make the effort of his life in his reply to the Democratic attacks upon the Na tion and the Army and the Philippine policy of the Government. The reason why the Democrats have not agreed to close debate was because - Spooner had not spoken, and they want an opportunity to reply to him and break the. force of what they know wjll be his powerful ar gument. , The-returns have, begun to come In, and It is found that the people do not take kindly to the attacks upon the American Army w hich Is fighting in the- Philippines. The Democrats wantan opportunity to hedge, and. if possible, to modify some 'ol the most bitter assertions which they have -made. The Democratic leaders are very mucn disgusted with both Carmack and Patterson, but not so much so as with Tillman, whose Intemperate and vicious words have already done so .much harm. Mxon Distresses Southern Democrats The Democratic Congressional commit tee is badly tangled up over the retire ment of Nixon from tne head of Tammany Hall, The Southern managers of this committee, with their usual stupidity as to who was actually boss of the New York Democracy, were doing business with Nixon, and1 now they And that they have- to begin all over again. Nixon was to have a high place in the management of the Congressional campaign. The Tammany row has therefore upset affairs and the committee managers are trying to find out with whom they shall deal In order to get New York money for cam paign purposes. , Tongue's Speech Cut Qui. The courtesy usually allowed members of Congress to extend their remarks in the Record was denied Representative Tongue yesterday. The Democrats knew that the speech he was making on the subject of, trusts was to be circulated In Oregon before the close of the campaign in that state. However, Mr. Tongue got enough before the House to show his po sition on the subject of trusts, and the , attempt ty secure a petty party advan tage will amount to very little, except that It will prevent the Oregon Representative from having his views in an enlarged scale placed before the voters of the state. Philippine Snarap Lands. ( Senator Mitchell today offered an amend ment to the Philippine bill providing a method for sale of swamp and overflowed lands In the archipelago. He proposes to add the following to the bill: That -whenever It shall be made to appear to the Secretary of any prov lnce In the Philippine Islands that any lands within the, prov lnce are swamp or overflowed in character. It snail be the duty of said Provincial Secretary or Adjutant-General, under the regulations of the United States Philippine Commission, or its successors, -to take testimony in reference to such lands to ascertain their true character, and to report the same to the Secretary of the Interior for the Philippine Islands; and If, upon such testimony the Secretary of the In terior shall And that such lands are swamp or overflowed, and Incapable of being purchased under any of the laws relative to tho public domain, then said lands shall bo offered for sale under regulations prescribed by the Phil ippine Commission, or its successors, and sold to the highest bidder, for cash; and in case such lands fall to sell when so offered tho same shall be subject to private sale at tho highest price that can b obtained. All executive proclamations relating to the sales, of public swamp or overflowed lands shall be published In two newspapers, one printed in the English language, and one in the Spanish language, at Manila, which shall be designated by the Secretary of tho Interior. A Delegate lor Alaska Captain J. J. Healy, P. C. Helm and Arthur C. Jackson, of Alaska, had a talk with the President this morning regard ing the bill to grant that territory a delegate in Congress. The President as sured his callers that he was heartily in favor of Alaska having a delegate, and considered that it was essential, not only to the interests and welfare of the ter ritory, but to political affairs in Wash ington. The President referred to the fact that he would be immensely pleased to see a representative man with whom ho could talk on Alaskan affairs. He mentioned that as matters now stand he has no one in authority he can consult as to nominations and appointments. BUILDING FOR LA GRANDE. Senator Mitchell Introduces Bill to Appropriate $100,000. WASHINGTON, May 16. Senator Mitch ell today offered an amendment to the omnibus public buildings bill appropriat ing $100,000 for erecting a public building at La Grande. He will press this amend ment before the committee and before the Senate, contending 'that up to this time Eastern Ch-egon has no Federal building, and that there Is a pressing necessity for one at this place. For Sea Wall at Paget Sound. WASHINGTON, May 16. Representative Jones today offered' an amendment to the naval appropriation bill carrying $60,000 for the erection of a sea wall at the Puget Sound nayard.- - - DANISH TREATY SHELVED Obstruction In Rlgdag Will Cnrrr Matter Over Until September.

SALEM, May 16 The failure of Gov ernor Geer to preside a the Furnish rally tonight was an unexpected surprise, and " 5 MEETING PLACE OF PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL7 ASSEMBLY. MV v J ftp ?ji "fu V rS i , . A flM rfK &fAi &i " FIFTH-AVEXUE PRESBYTERIAN CRXRCH AAD ITS PASTOR, REV. J. ROSS STEVEN SOX, D. D. has caused considerable comment. Gov ernor .Geer was waited upon Tuesday even ing by W. J. Culver, chairman of the Marlon County Central Committee, and accepted the Invitation to serve as chair man at tonight's meeting. The Governor left Thursday night for Roseburg, an nouncing that he had gone on an official visit for Inspection of the Soldiers' Heme. ( About noon today Governor Geer, through his private secretary, Walter Lyon, noti fied Chairman Culver that he had been called to Roseburg on official business, and, if possible, would return to Salem on the afternoon Overland train today, and in case he should fall to return, requested the committee to be prepared to provide another chairman. The Governor failed to return, and Claude Gatch, at a late hour, accepted the chairmanship, which he very gracefully filled. Great Rally in Capital City. Hon. W. J. Furnish and other state candidates were greeted by a monster demonstration In Salem tonight. The mag nitude of the reception surpassed any dem onstration of the kind ever witnessed here before In any political campaign. One thousand men participated In the proces sion from the hotel to the City Hall, JUDGE WILLIAMS SPEAKS TO- MGHT. At the Republican rally In Cordray's Theater tonight, Judge George H. Williams and Hon. J. H. Schlv cly will discuss the issues of the state and lo cal political campaign.

Walter Reed will sing. where 1500 people listened most attentive ly to the, addresses. The Armory was far too small for the accommodation of the Immense throng, and hundreds were turned away. The rain storm "having abated for a short time, about 2000 people collected In front of the City Hall, and l "c auuicwcu uj i'liiiitt. iavcy, cunai- date on the Republican legislative ticket. Mr. Davey gave a rousing, patriotic talk, and held the crowd until Mr. Furnish arrived, when the scenes that greeted his appearance at the Armory were re-enacted. When the demonstration had sub sided, Mr. Furnish gave a short business talk, and impressed his hearera most fa vorably as possessing the desired qualifi cations for Chief Executive of the state. A drenching rain fell throughout the even ing, which by no means Interrupted the enthusiasm of the crowd. The entire demonstration was a memorable event In the political annals of Marion County. The. candidates were met at the rail- road station by a reception committee, consisting of County Chairman W. J. Culver, Dr. J. A. Richardson, E. P. Mc Cornack and C. M. Inman. The party was 'driven direct to the hotel, where Mr. Furnish was besieged by hundreds of enthusiastic supporters until the hour of speaking. The street procession was formed at 8 o'clock at the Willamette Hotel, under the direction ofc Chief Marshal Murphy and aids. Headed by Mr. Furnish, members of the reception committee and state can didates, the pageant began to march to the City Hall. Streets on the line of march were almost Impassable, presenting a compact mass of humanity. The pro cession was greeted on all sides with cheers and shouts. With sounding cym bals, blazing flambeaux, brilliant calcium lights, deafening explosions of bombs, beautiful pyrotechnic display, music from four bands and hundreds of stalwart Re publicans from Marion and Polk Coun ties, the procession was an imposing one, surpassing anything ever seen at a pre election rally here. Salem, Jefferson, Cheraawa and Reform. School Bands were In attendance. The procession was re ceived at the Armory with wild enthu siasm. Large portraits of President Roosevelt, Mr. Furnish 2nd Governor Geer were ar ranged upon the platform, which was beautifully decorated with large Ameri can flags. Governor Geer's Absence. In the absence of Governor Geer, who was at Roseburg, Claud Gatch presided at the meeting. In calling the assembly to order Mr. Gatch said: "We regret very much that our honored Governor, who had accepted the Invitation to preside tonight, is not here. He was called to Southern Oregon last night and notified our committee that if possible he would return to the city thls afternoon. He Is not here." Mr. Fnrnish's Speech. Chairman Gatch introduced Mr. Fur nish as a man of "Force and character, and of executive ability, who believe in sound money and that the flag shall stay where put." m Mr. Furnish said, In part: "I do not appear before vou to talk to jou, but solely to meet you and to become better acquainted with you. When I come to Salem in January next, I will not come with the Intention of doing much talking. The fact is, I am not much of a talker, either In public or private, but I do expect to ccme to take up the rein3 of government where your own honored citizen. His Excellency, Governor Geer. lays them down. It shall be my aim to carry forward all the good work which he has begun, and to keep up the high standard of government vvhlch the Repub lican party, through Its public servants, always guarantees. "Being accustomed to the management of business affairs requiring close atten tion to details, I shall expect to devote a great deal of time and labor to famil iarize mvsclf with the details of all of the various state Institutions, and exer cise my 'influence and power as the Chitf Executive of the state to see that every state institution, and every department thereof, as well as every department of the state government, is managed with the strictest Integrity and with the great est possible economy consistent with good government. "We have just witnessed and are now experiencing a period of prosperity dur ing which all lines of industry and busi ness have grown to a magnitude far be yond anything ever yet known In our country, or, for that matter, any other country, and it Is but natural that the business affairs of a great and growing state like ours should grow in like pro portion, thus necessitating the expendi ture of many hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to maintain the state government. In the great business affairs of the state we are ail deeply interested. Thoso who pay the taxes are interested as taxpayers, and all lovers of good gov ernment and American institutions are Interested in seeing that we have a vig orous. Just and upright administration. Should you elect me Governor, as I be lieve you, will. I shall not attempt to pose as a reformer who already knows more about the affairs of state and the manage ment of the various public Institutions than all of the tried and experienced ofH- (Concluded oa Fifth Pago.)

CHICAGO, May 16 During the progress of a fire which tonight destroied the lard refinery of Armour & Co., In the Union Stock Yarde, 23 people were Injured, seven of them in a manner which will prob ably cause death in a short time. The loss of the company Is estimated by It3 officers at between $750000 and $300,000, with the chances In favor of the latter figure, and Is fully covered by Insur ance. There were a number of accidents, but by far the largest number of those who were hurt met their Injuries by the fall ing of the hog runway upon which they were standing to obtain a hotter view of the, fire. The following were fatally Injured: JENNIE SMITH, stenographer German American Provision Company, both legs broken, x RAY IRWIX, 11 vears of age. Internal ly injured and head badly cut.

The lard refinery had just been com pleted and was cons'dered by its owner the most complete establishment of its kind in the United States. It stooa at the intersection of Forty-third street and Center" avenue, and was five stories high and 250 to 300 feet long. It was fl'Ied with new and costly machinery, and dur ing the day 2000 peonle worked within Its walls The night shift numbered 700. and all of them were In the building when the fire broke out. It Is thought all ts caped In safety, although the time al lowed some of them was exceedingly brief Cause of the FIr. The fire originated with an explosion of three lard tanks on the fifth floor of the building. The cause of the explosion Is unknown, but the three tanks, which were filled with boiling lard, went up with a roar almost In the same second There were a score of workmen In tho Immediate vicinity of the tanks and a number of them were burned by the scala lng lard, but none seriously. It was not a minute after the explosion before the entire fifth floor was a mass of flames. All the workmen In the building made a frantic rush for safety, and all reached the open air without trouble Despite te utmost efforts of the fire department, the flames spread through the entire build ing, and within an hour after the com mencement of the fire, all the walls, ith the exception of that on the souh, were lying on the ground. The fire was one of the most spectacu lar that has been seen In Chicago in re cent vears. and the display attracted an pnormous crowd of people, who crow del all the narrow streets in the!stockyard3 arid swarmed by thousands upon the via ducts, which pass through the yards at a height of 20 feet from the ground. That portion of the Forty-fourth street viaduct clobe to the burning building was densely packed, and suddenly, about 200 feet of a hog runway extending from the viaduct north to the plant of Armour & Co., gave way, precipitating fully 1000 persons to the ground. The firemen Instantly aban doned their work on the building and devoted their energfes to saying the peo ple. It is said by the police that the number of those Injured by the fall of the via duct is greatly m excess of the number reported, as tliero were many who wero but slightly hurt and being able to go to their homes without assistance, no knowl edge of them was obtained by the au thorities. A number of firemen were slightly burned while at work In the building and for a time It was reported that several had been killed. Several of the firemen detailed to the second floor of the build ing lost their hair and some were slight ly burned, but were able to continue on duty. Michael Malloy, driver of Engine Com pany 49, sustained Injuries which will cause his death while driving his engine to the fire. The streets in the stock yards proper are not wide and Malloy was urging his horses at top speed when one of the reins broke.. His horses plunged toward the crowd of people on the side of the street. Malloy, seeing that somebody would be badly injured, unless his team was checked, sprang from his seat to the back of one of the horses and grasping the team by the bits, turned them against a brick building. The horses struck the wall with terrific force and Malloy was caught between the wall and one of the horses. He was frightfully crushed. r
