HE MOBNIKG OREGOKIAN, FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1902. BAKER BILL WINS House Committee Takes Up Assay-Office Measure. SENATE WILL BE FOR PORTLAND Present Congress Will "Take Ko Ac tion In the Matter Adjournment of GongrcsH Depends Upon the Philippine Bill. The bill for an assay office at Baker City. Or., will b reported to the House with a recommendation for $75,000 for a building. Congress will probably adjourn the middle of next week. t Dcwey'e testimony before the Philip pine committee was a great disappoint ment to the antls. WASHINGTON. June 26. By a vote of five to four, Ihe House committee on coin age, weights and measures today decided to report Representative Moody's bill es tablishing an assay office at Baker City. Some of those who voted for the Baker City bill did so because both that town and Portland are in Moody's district, and they believe he, rather than his colleague, should have the right to determine in which city the office should be located, and that he should shoulder the responsi bility for the selection. The four adverse votes were from members who do not be lieve lit establishing any more assay of fices. The bill reported appropriates i5 000 for the construction of a suitable build ing. Both Representatives Tongue and Moody were present at the meeting, the former arguing in support, of his bill for an assay office at Portland, and the latter for the favored measure. Moody pointed out that nearly three-fourths of the annual output of gold in the state is produced in Eastern Oregon. He contended that as the chief advantage of an assay office is to enable miners to exchange their dust and bullion for coin, an assay office at Portland would be of little utility to the miner, since the expressage on the gold from the mineral district of Eastern Oregon to Portland 'would be about equal to the exchange now charged them by the banks In the mining section. The fact that the establishment of a smelter at Sumpter is practically assured, ho said, makes a further argument In favor of an office at Baker City. Since there are no mining districts near Port land, an assay office would be of no utility there until a smelter Is established. Moody does not expeat that the House will give consideration to this bill at this session, but he hopes to have it up next ses bion. Representative Tongue, when asked what action he proposed to take, said: "If by any possibility I can help Mr. Moody in passing the bill in its present form through the House, I shall gladly do 60. Of course, there is no question but that in the Senate Portland will be substituted for Baker City, and the ap propriation for the building will be strick en out" He said that to his mind. If the bill ever reached conference, the Portland proposition would be accepted, rather than the Baker City, as both Senators are in favor of Portland. He says, moreover, In determining the location of an assay office in Oregon, Congress will consider that Portland is so located as to draw from Eustern, "Western and Southern Ore gon, Eastern Washington and Idaho, Alas ka and British Columbia, and would get a large portion of the product of the Ross land mines, while Baker City would only benefit mines In that one gold field. The old rivalry between Portland and Puget Sound was fanned into life again today when Representative Jones filed with the Commissary-General a com plaint of the Merchants' Association of Seattle alleging that all supplies for the Army in Alaska had been purchased in Portland, and that Puget Sound mer chants were being discriminated against. The charge, with others of a similar char acter, will be investigated. 1005 FAIR WILL BE EXCEPTION. Its Chances Good, Though Congress Opposes Like Appropriations. WASHINGTON. June 26. When the general deficiency bill passed today, and $500,000 was allowed Buffalo and nearly $200,000 allowed Charleston to make up deficiencies as a result of the exposi tions held in those cities, Senators ex pressed the hope that there never would be further aid granted to expositions. This naturally caused some uneasiness among Oregon people who hope to have liberal provision made for the Lewis and Clark Centennial. At the same time the mere fact that these deficits were made good will be used as an argument why the Government should take an Interest In the Lewis and Clark Exposition. After spending millions for Chicago and St. Louis, and hundreds- of thousands for. every other city in the East that has held an exposition, it Is not prob able that Congress can turn its back upon the Lewis and Clark Centennial. It has not been deemed advisable to press the matter at this session, and in that particular very good judgment has been shown. With .the action of the Senate today, and the provision lor the St. Louis Exposition last Congress, there Is considerable ill-feeling manifested, and it Is better to have It wear away before any attempt is made to secure an appropriation for the coming celebration of the Pacific Coast. FINAL WORK OF CONGRESS. Adjournment All Depends on the Philippine Bill. WASHINGTON, June 25. The adjourn ment of Congress depends upon the Phil ippine bill. Everything else is in such ihape that the session could close Satur day night, if if was so desired. The Im pression prevails that It will end next Tuesday or Wednesday, as that will give ample time for full conferences on the Philippine bill, and give the two houses &n opportunity to adjust their differences. It is well understood that there are no differences between the House and Sen ate bill which cannot be easily settled, pave the question of the gold standard, which the House supports, and the un limited coinage of the Philippine, dollar, which the Senate bill provides, and the t question whether a legislative assembly of Filipinos shall be allowed. Manyaro Insistent that no such provis ion shall be adopted In the bill, and will fight for a long while, even trt nreveritlner1 an adjournment, before they will consent to have the House provision adopted. The .uemocraxs oi me House favor that provi sion as do a large number of Republicans, but the probabilities are that they will yield rather than -hold up Philippine legis lation and postpone the adjournment of Congress. The -probabilities are that the House will be rather insistent upon Its gold standard provision. Several Republicans cay It would not do to go into the campaign "of ter winning two gold-standard Presidential fights with a proposition to grant the Philippines un limited coinage. They say that if there should be hard times in the "United States under the gold standard and good times In the Philippines under the silver stand ard, it would mean free coinage of silver for this country. It is probable that these matters-" will be adjusted after a few con ferences. The Senate will no doubt win on the matter of government, and the entire financial proposition will be dropped out of the bill and left to future legisla tion, so that there will be neither the gold standard nor unlimited silver coinage pro vided. If this is done, it will mean a close of the session by the middle of next week. DEWEY SURPRISED DEMOCRATS. Gives the Lie to the Story About Partnership With Apnlnaldo. WASHINGTON, June 26. Admiral Dewey gave the Democrats a very severe jolt today. They have been taunting the Republicans with failure to call Dewey. For some unknown reason they expected that Dewey would come forward and show he was In partnership with Aguln aldo at Manila. The fact that he came out with a straightforward story and showed that Aguinaldo had very little to do with Philippine affairs, and was not recognized in any way by the Admiral, caused much chagrin to the Pattersons, Carmacks and others of the Senate who hoped to bolster the oft-repeated story that Dewey recognized Agutnaldo and the Philippine Republic. The only source of consolation that the Democrats have In the whole affair Is the fact that the Republicans did not have Dewey's testimony to exploit in their speeches on the Philippine bill. At the same time, It will be printed as a public document, and will be circulated as a part of the literature in the coming campaign. BY A PARTY VOTE. (Continued from "First Pate.) Call and Littlefield, stood up with tho Democrats In support of it. Otherwise the division was strictly on party lines, and the amendment was lost, 89 to 12S. This completed the bill. Cooper, chairman of the committee, who was In charge of the bill, then read from Governor Taft's testimony before the Senate committee his reasons for believing it unwise at present to make a promise as to the future form of gov ernment of the Islands. It was a com plete answer, he said. Jones (Bern. Va.) then offered as an amendment the substitute prepared by the minority which provided for the tempor ary government of the islands pending the granting of the permanent Independence to the archipelago. Jones' amendment was defeated, 25 to 136, a strict party vote. The bill was then passed, 141 to 97. a straight party vote with the exception of McCall (Rep. Mass.) who voted with the Democrats against the measure. HOUSE PHILIPPINE BILL. Hotv It Differs From the Measure That Passed the Sennte. WASHINGTON, June 26. The substitute for the Senate Philippine civil govern ment bills differs from the bill as It passed the upper House in many minor particulars, but principally in the fol lowing: The House substitute provides for a complete system of chil government with a Legislature to consist of two houses, one to be a popular assembly elected by the Filipino people. The Senate bill con tained no such provision. The Legisla ture is to be chosen after the "existing Insurrection lft the Philippines shall have ceased and complete peace shall have been established therein, and the fact certified to the president of the Philip pine commission." The House substitute also applies the "bill of rights" enumer ated In the Senate measure and adds to the number of issues which can be ap pealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. The House measure also defines with greater detail than the Sen-J ate the rights of citizenship of those re siding in the islands and provides that all residents shall receive the same pro tection from the United States in respect to relations with foreign governments as Is accorded to citizens of the United States. One of the most important differences between the Senate and House bills is that relating to coinage. The Senate provided a silver standard somewhat in extension and perfection of that now m existence. The House measure provides a gold-standard sjstem with the gold dol lar of the United States as the standard unit of value for the Islands. The main coin Is to be the peso, made in silver, but of a gold value, and this Is to be divided into subsidiary pieces of money bearing devices emblematic of American sover eignty. Provisions also Is madeJtor a system of paper currency, banks and for a complete financial system, the details being different from those In the Senate measure, although following the same lines. In dealing with the grant of fran chises, the House bill places many more restrictions upon such grants than the Senate bill. In this respect, the restric tions provided by the House follow the lines of those provided for Porto Rico. Both bills provide for acquiring the friar lands and for .the issue of bonds suffi cient to pay for the lands, the Senate provision making the Interest rate V& per cent, the House 5 per cent. Both measures contain extended provis ions relative to timber lands, harbor and internal improvements and for two dele gate commissioners chosen by the Fili pino people to represent them in Washing ton and have the privilege of the floor of the House.

BY SENATE CONFERENCE REPORT OS CANAL BILL ADOPTED, WHICH PARSES IT Upper Hooftie Also Disposes of the General Deficiency Hill, the in It of the Bis; Supply Measures. WASHINGTON, June $. During the comparatively brief time the Senate xf)i In esdon today, the conference report on the isthmian canal bill was agreed to, and tho .general deficiency, the last of the big supply measures, was passed. A slight protest was made against the appropriations of $500,000 for the Buffalo Exposition and $160,000 for the Charles ton, S. C Exposition, but finally they were Included In the bill. The measure also carried $45,000 for the payment of the ex-Presldenfs last Illness and the death of President McKlnley, "the amount In cluding the pay of physicians. When the Senate convened a bill was passed directing the Secretary of the Treasury to bestow medals upon First Lleutenafit David H. Jarvls, Second Lieutenant Ellsworth P. Bertholf and Samuel J. Call, surgeon, all of the rev enue cutter service, members of the overland expedition of lS7 for the relict of the whaling fleet In ti Arctic regions. Consideration was then begun of the general deficiency bill. It being read for committee amendments. When the ap propriations of $500,000 for the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition and $160,000 for tho Charleston Exposition were read Bailey protested. He insisted that it Con gress should meet the demands. It, would bo called upon to meet a still greater deficit In the St, Louis Expbsltlon. He thought it Was gross misapplication of public money. Other Senators, Hale, Spooner and Teller, while they sympa thized with Bailey's views, thought that the calamity which had befallen the peo ple in Buffalo In the ns5assInation of President McKlnley had much to 2o with the deficiency, and should be taken into consideration. Hale believed the example of those cities would foe a means of stopping the mad rush of cities for expositions. He hoped that not again In a generation would the Government extend financial aid to exposition enterprises. With-the understanding that the pres ent appropriations were not to be con sidered as a precedent, Bailey withdrew his objection, and the amendments were agreed to. An amendment was agreed to author izing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the unpaid expenses incurred op account of the list Illness and death of President McKlnley, Including compensa tion of physicians, $15,000, provided that only such expenses shall be paid as are Just and reasonable, no Government em ployes to be paid iny sum for personal or professional services. The bill was passed. By a vote of 18 to 30, the Senate declined to consider the bill to revive and amend an act which provides for payment for cotton seized by the Union forces during the Civil War. Morgan presented the conference re port on the Isthmian canal bill, show ing an agreement of the conferees on the Senate amendment to the House bill. On Morgan's motion, the Senate agreed to the report, thus -passing the bill. An effort was made to obtain -consideration of a bill to carry Into effect the stipulations or the article of the treaty of Paris between the United States and Spain, but it was unsuccessful on ac count of the absence of a quorum, and at 2:4S P. M. the Senate adjourned. CORONATION HONORS. Lone: List Published In the Official Gaxcite. t LONDON, June 25. The Official Gazette contains the coronation honors.

T.; Sir Francis Henry Laklng, physician In ordinary to the King, and Sir Charles Hubert Barry, di rector of the Royal College of Music, are created Baronets. Two features, distinguishing this from the ,cu3tomary lists of this kind, betray the tactful hand of the King himself. The first Is Its essentially nonpartisan character, the' honors being distributed arnong members of both political parties. The second isMhe creation of the order of merit which Is acceptable to such men as George Watts and John Morley, who declined the honors previously in the sovereign's power to offer them. The new order conveys neither title or preced ence and Its value will lay In the In trinsic merits of Its recipients, who on this occasion are limited to 12. Sid Edward Keppel, Admiral of the fleet, and Sir William Hugglns, the astronomer, completing the list. Among the notable persons who have been creat ed Knights aro Charles Villlers Stafford, professor o.f muejc, Cambridge Univer sity, and Ernest Albert Waltcrlow, presi dent of the Royal Society of Painters In Water Colors. Referring to the order of merit, the newspapers express the hope that the recipients of the new order will always thus be limited, so that the order will become a really coveted honor. The order consists- of a single division of ordinary members restricted to British subjects, but foreigners may be appointed honorary members at the discretion of the sovereign of the order, who Is the King. The badge or the order is a cross of red and blue enamel with the inscription "For Merit," with a wreath of laurel. A Picket Shot. PUEBLO, Colo., June 26.

There Is no fence that she does not jump except a nailed board fence or a high wire-net fence. She will work her way through tho most complicated brush fence that was ever constructed, and she will manage tp get off the "rider" from a stone wall a atone yvall without a "rider" Is no obstacle. Over she goes, and where the ruling ewe goes all the rest go. This is the tradition Involved in the rustic pro verb. "One go, all gor sheep."

Whether Senator Nelson's opposition to tho bill admitting Oklahoma, New Mex ico and Arizona to statehood arises from opposition to the admission of all of them or only to the admission of New. Mexico and Arizona does not appear. If he ob jects to the admission of the latter states only, and If a bill admitting Oklahoma alone has no chance to become a law, he haa good grounds for his attitude. And there is reason to believe that the admis sion of Oklahoma will not be considered separately. For, even If It were probable that the House would accept the bill with Arizona and New Mexico stricken out, the promoters of the Oklahoma propbsul are said to have made a compact with tho Arizona and New Mexico delegates to stand or fall together. This Is to be re gretted. There is grave reason to doubt the advisability of admitting the latter ag states at this tlm especially In the light of our experience with Nevada and Utah and one or two other of the Mountain States. But Oklahoma, both In population antL In tho character of its people. Is clear ly entitled to admission. The vigor of the state appears in its growth from 62,000 population to 398,000 in 1900. while the following table shows Its population and that of Arizona and New Mexico as compared with some other states: Oklahoma 30S.215 New Mexico 195.310 Arizona 122.031 Vermont 3J3.G41 South Dakota 401,570 North Dakota 319,140 Montana. 243.823 Utah 270.740 "Wyoming: ,9r522 Idaho 161'2'2 Oregon 413.330 Nevada - 42,333 Oklahoma's population, moreover, has largely been drawn from the conservative agricultural districts of states farther Eaut. and has llttlo of the rough and roving element, that forms so large a part of tho population of most of the Mountain States and of Arizona and New Mexico. The difference In the character of the population Is also indicated In Its density, which in 1900 had already reached 10.3" to the square mile, against 22J. In Minnesota, 13.9 In Nebraska and 4.5 In North Dakota and Oregon. It Is by the character rather than by the size of a territory's population that the dea!rabillty of admitting it to statehood should be Judged. The population of New Mexico and Arizona already exceeds that of most of the states at the time of their admis sion, and both are growing. But for all practical purposes they are as well off as territories as they would be as states, and by postponing their admission for another decade the rest of the country will be less likely to pay the penalty that it has paid In being overhasty In the admis sion of several states whose population was somewhat similar. Whatever the exi gencies of practical politics may have been that Induced Oklahoma to cast In its for tunes with the Southwestern territories, the merits of ita case are such as ought to have procured Its admission.
