THE MORNING OKEGONIAN. SATURDAY .TUNE 7, 1902,
MESSAGE ON CUBA
President May Urge the Sen
ate to Action.
BOTH SIDES HARD AT WORK
Congrexs Wonlil Probnbly Let the
Question Go Over Were It Nof
Known the President "Would
Call Extra Session. ,
WASHINGTON'. June G. There has been
a sugg'et!on that President Bocsevelt will
send to the Senate a message on Cuban
rc-lief, and both factions of the Republican
party, have been going to him, each urging
him to stand by what they want. Those
who are seeking a straight reduction are
urging that the people stand for the pol
icy, while the beet-sugar men say that if
we must give relief to Cuba, to let it be
the rebate plan.
A large element in the Senate, and in
the House, too, for that matter, arc en
deavoring to get through all other neces
sary legislation and have Congress adjourn
with both the canal bill and Cuban reci
procity unacted upon. This would be done
If it was not for the intimation that
comes rery direct from the White House
that the President wants both these meas
ures considered and decided one way or
another, or there will be an extra session
of Congress to consider them.
The beet-sugar Senators were Jubilant
today over what they considered to be a
prospect for winning. The beet-sugar men
have insisted from the first that Cuban
reciprocity should be effected through a
rebate of duties, and not a reduction of
the tariff. The report has been circulated
that President Roosevelt, who has been
favoring a reduction of the tariff, had
given the impression to Representatives
wiio called upon him today that he was
not unalterably opposed to the rebate plan
If it should be adopted as a compromise.
This report was not credited by the Sen
ators who have been working consistently
to carry out what was believed to be the
Administration policy of reciprocity with
tariff reductions. The Senators insisted
that there had been no abatement of
their efforts along that line; Ihat they
had not been apprised of the rumored
change of the attitude of the Executive.
There Is talk about .a Republican cau
cus with this end In view. The sugar Sen
ators were extremely active today In try
ing to secure a majority that would re
port the rebate plan. If such a majority
is not to be obtained, and it should turn
out that a straight reciprocity plan is fa
vored, the Republican leaders of the Sen
ate arp likely to take up the Cuban bill
and allow the beet-sugar Senators to as
sume the responsibility of defeating it, If
it Is to be defeated. At the same time
there Is a belief that these beet-sugar men
have begun to realize that the Morris
amendment striking off the differencial
will be greatly to their disadvantage
should It prevail, and some other method
will now be pursued to defeat the bill.
TONGUE WILL ANSWER HIM.
Ray "Will Hold Irrigation Bill Is
Unconstitutional.
WASHINGTON, June 6. The fight on
the irrigation bill which Is expected to
come up In the House next Wednesday or
Thursday will probably be led by Repre
sentative, Ray, of New York, the only
member of the committee on irrigation
who contends that the measure is uncon
stitutional. Ray's argument will be al
most entirely on tho legal phases of the
bill. In his minority report, he cites a
number of legal decisions which he main
tains establish the unconstitutionality of
the bill. Chairman Tongue, of the irri
gation committee, has been studying up
these citations and finds, wirhout excep
tion, that the decisions have no direct
bearing on the irrigation bill. He is
now preparing a speech in the nature of
an answer to Ray. and will endeavor to
show that the bill, as reported, is in
every -way constitutional. Mr. Tongue
does not believe that the constitutional
question will endanger the bill, for, so
far as known, Ray is the only member
opposing the bin on this ground. He
expects a non-partisan debate under Ray's
leadership; in fact, most of the opposi
tion so far manifested has come from
Republicans. It is hoped to secure a vote
on the bill not later than Saturday week.
For Dredge for Columbia.
Senator Mitchell today secured the
passage of his resolution appropriating
51000 for making an examination to deter
mine the advisability of maintaining a sea
dredge at the mouth of the Columbia, to
preserve a deep channel across the bar.
More Time to Prove Up On Land.
Senator Foster today introduced a bill
extending for one year the time in which
settlers may make final proof on unper
fected, uncontested desert entries in Ya
kima County, Wash.
II ANNA'S STAND IN DOUBT.
Both Sides to Canal Tnke Encour
agement From His Speech.
WASHINGTON. June C-The effect of
the speech of Senator Hanna upon the ca
nal situation may be such as to enable
those who are seeking a reason to vote
against the Nicaragua Canal to do so.
Hanna professed himself earnestly In fa
vor of some canal, and talked about the
necessities of commerce, but there are
those who have carefully listened to all
he said who still believe that he is really
against any canal, and would prevent any
legislation if he could do so. There are
others who take considerable encourage
ment from his speech; those who favor
some canal and who are not particular
as to the route. Hanna's argument can'
be Interpreted to mean nothing but a
desire for a canal, and it Is only by
readlnc between the lines that he is op
posed to any canal.
OREGON LANDS TO BE SOLD.
Favorable Report On Moody's Uma
tilla Reservation Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 6. Representa
tive Moody was today authorized to re
port favorably his bill providing for tho
sale of the unsold portion of the Uma
tilla Indian reservation, comprising about
3,000 acres of mountainous timber graz
ing laud, with a small area valuable
for agriculture. The lands are to be
told at private sale at the La Grande
land office at not less than their ap
r raised value.- Bona fide settlers who
are now upon any of these lands, and
have improved them, and have so settled
with a view to homesteadlng not to ex-
ceed 160 acres, shall have preference right
to buy the lands on which they have
settled, within 90 days after the passage
of this act.
OREGON POINTS THE "WAY.
"Seattle" Iirbc Means a Sleeping:
Republican Victory.
WASHINGTON, June 6. The Phlladel
phla'Press and some other Republican pa-,
pers are calling attention to the fact
that In face of the Oregon election re
turns showing that the people are sup
porting the Republican policies regarding
expansion and the Philippines, the In
diana Dem6crats have entered the cam
paign on the "scuttle"' plank. They
point cut that if this extends to Demo
cratic conventions elsewhere, the outlook
for success of the Republicans will be
greatly Increased. The Republicans are
convinced that the campaign on the ex
pansion Issue will result in a sweeping
victor' in the coming Congressional elec
tions. Portland Building Bill Signed.

Manager Samuel Vlgneux handed a
great big package to Mr. John J. Grim
about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
package contained the third straight de
feat for. the visiting Spokane ballplayers
and a card enclosed reminded Mr. Grim
that the scries was now clinched by Port
land. Grim came here to "hand a bunch
to Portland," but as yet he has not had
the opportunity to deliver the goods.
Portland, besides defeating the Bunch
graseers and nailing the series, has moved
up to .the summit In the list of percent
ages, and now has the lead In the race
for the .pennant that Is to float next year
over the grandstand of one of the six
clubs in the league. It would look very
nice alongside the pennant won by Port
land last year, and at present Portland
has the beet of the six chances. But you
can never tell what will happen In base
ball. Umpire Mullane did not give the play
ers entire satisfaction, and. because they
said as much, the box that holds the fines
will now contain another yellow eagle.
Mr. Samuel Vlgneux said something to
Imply that the worthy gentleman In the
blue suit, for 'whom all baseball-players
should have the utmost respect, did not
know a ball from a strike. This cost the
little man who does the stunt behind the
bat for Portland one great big "V." Louis
Mahaffey also tried to tell Umpire Mul
lane that he did not understand Ills busi
ness, and .suffered as did his captain.
Both teams played the game from start
to finish. Two errors were made, and
each of these figured In a run- Up to the
fourth Inning neither side had scored,
when Delsel fumbled a ball from Green's
bat and allowed Spokane the first run.
For another Inning and a half there was
again nothln' doln and then Portland
pulled two men across the plate and took
the Ipad.
Muller started off Portland's half of the
seventh by accepting a free ticket to the
first station on the rounds and wao sacri
ficed to second by Delsel. Van Buren
made a hit and Anderson bunted to Rus
sel. who threw to the plate, but was too
late to keep Muller from tying the score.
Hupp hit the ball out, and It was again
returned to the plate too late to prevent
a score, and Van Buren slid In.
Spokane tied the score In the seventh
when Green smote the sphere for two
bases and Russell beat out a slow hit to
Anderson. McLaughlin's fly to Van Bu
ren scored Green. Russell wenV to second
and Mahaffey kicked because he had not
returned to first. Mullane wan watching
the -play at third and home, and did not
sec Russell, and Louis was fined for try
ing to explain. His explanations had been
a trifle volcanic. Reltz hit to center and
Russell scored on Eieey's fly to Muller. In
crossing the plate Russell bumped Into
Mahaffey and fell. hard.
With two men out, Portland in the sev
enth scored two runs. Russell a fall at
the plate seemed to weaken him, and his
pitching fell oft in the seventh, and Port
land ecored two more runs. Muller got a
hit, and Delsel walked. Van Buren made
another hit. and scored Muller, and Port
land again tied the score. A hit by An
derson brought In Dc-'sel, and Portland
took the lead and kept It from then on.
In the eighth, an error by Elsey let Weed
get to first, and he completed the circuit
on a sacrifice and a safe hit. The score:

"Captain S.," ridden by Mrs. Buffum, as
wheeler, with "Dexter" as leader.
The pony race wll be hotly contested,
there being 13 entries, and from present
Indications Miss Caroline Burns, on "Friar
Tuck," is going to set the pace that will
be a surprise to the other riders.
The mile trot will be jone of the most
Interesting events, from the fact that
nearly all the 10 or more riders have
been practicing their horses on the quiet.
W. J, Burns has not been seen for several
days around his usual haunts, and a num
ber of his friends have been making In
quiries for him. Ho was eventually dis
covered by his friends at a dairy farm on
the Sandy road, where, he has been in
training, and from last accounts his horse
was trained to perfection, he having re
duced his weight to 6 stone 10 pounds and
his last trial having been made m2:13.
However. R. H. Jenkins, on "Captain
S.," will give him a close contest.
The hurdle race will be the most excit
ing and Interesting- event of the da, as
It Is generally considered the event of a
Hunt Club programme. Thre are seven
entries. The distance Is two mll?s, with
eight hurdles. All of the hurdles are cov
ered with brush, and this event will give
the public an idea of the club's paper
chases and cross-country rides.
The Flower Mission hes charge of the
refreshments, and the booths have been
Very tastily decorated. Twenty young la
dles, assisted by 16 young men. will dis
pense lemonade and peanuts, tho pro
ceeds of which will be donated to fur
nishing a children's room In one of the
hospitals The gate receipts will' be dis
tributed among different charitable soci
eties In the city.
Tho admission Is 50 cents, including
grandstand, and the races will take place
rain or shine.
All entries will report to J. W. Cruthers
at 1:45 P. M., at the west paddock.
SCEPTRE "WINS OAKS STAKES.
Ladies' Day at Epsom Downs Slarred
by Rain. '
LONDON, June 6. Ladles' day at Ep
som was marred today by the weather.
King Edward, the Prince of Wales and
other members of the royal family start
ed for the course In a downpour of rain,
and consequently the roads leading to the
Downs lacked much of their usual pic
turesque appearance. A majority of the
facegoero preferred to travel by train,
but a sprinkling of people adhered to
the tlme-hohored custom of attending tho
Oaks In coaches and other conveyances,
and at intervals between snowers tne en
closures were gay with bright dresses.
By the time the racing commenced the
attendance had assumed big proportions,
and after the first two races attention
was turned to the paddock where the en
tries for- the Oaks stakes were walking
about. Mr. Siever's bay filly Sceptre was
soor evidenced as the favorite, and the
result of the race Justified the faith that
was placed in her.
The race was the stakes of 4500. for
3-year-old fillies, about one mile and a
half, and was won by Sceptre. Colonel H
McCalmont's chestnut filly Glass Jug was
s'econd and Lord Cadogan's bay filly, by
Prisoner, out of Simoon, was third. The
betting was 5- to 2 against Sceptre, 10 to 1
against Glass Jug and 65 to 1 ngalnst the
Simoon filly. Fourteen horses ran
Sir J. Blundell Maple's bay filly Si
moon II led to the straight, where Scep
tre, who started well, took command ap
parently at will, drew to the front and
won easily by three lengths. A length
and a half separated the second and third
horses. Ballantrae wa3 fourth. The time
was 2:46 2-5.
The race was run while the rain was
falling. Mr. Slever with Sceptre received
a rare ovation. The Simoon filly was rid
den by Maher. the American Jockey.
Sceptre In April last won the 2000 guineas
stake nnd In May captured the 10,000
guineas stake.
