EXTRACTS FROM SENATOR MITCHELL'S SPEECH. The purpose of my remarks at this time Is to attract the attention, not only of the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the United States, but the whole, country, to the fact that it is the settled determination of the people of the rreat West, and of the grand Pacific Northwest, as Individuals and as states, to join hands In commemorating the centennial anniversary of the achievements of Lewis and Clark, by holding & grand industrial exposition at Peruana, Or., in the year 1005. It is not our purpose to have In mag nitude a Chicago, a, Paris or a St. Louis exposition, but It Is our purpose and our firm determination to hare an industrial exposition on a scale while somewhat less In pretensions than those, yet en a scale which will, by the magnitude and character of our varied products, command the admira tion of all who visit it. In what manner can the- 100th anni versary of tho crossing of the. conti nent by Lewis and Clark in 1804-5 be as appropriately and conspicuously com memorated, and their names be thus kept forever bright In the world's grand biographical lexicon of Immortal names, and on history's enduring pages, as by a jr-and industrial exposition of the varied products of that section of our common country to which their memor able expedition made an entrance for the builders of physical and moral em pire and for the founders of states. tlltMM . . 4 WASHINGTON, June 27. Senator Mitchell, in presenting the Oregon memo rial relative to the Lcwi3 and Clark Cen tennial to the Senate today, said: "The pages of historic military adven ture and discovery, either ancient or mod ern, fall to record a parallel In all that is Implied in dar.lng, persevering, success ful effort, brilliant accomplishment and pregnant wlth-'such tremendous possibil--Ity, In the face of unparalleled obstacles and discouraging surroundings, -comparable with the military expedition of Lewis and Clark across the wilderness of the North American Continent. They were the heroic and persistent vanguards In geography, discovery, exploration and physical development, who blazed the pathway of advancing physical, industrial and moral civilization, the grandest of this or that .of any other age, and which now in all Its splendor and expanding glory attracts the attention and com mands the bewildering admiration of the whole civilized world. The names of Mer iwether Lewis and William Clark are in separably connected with the military and political history and the growth and development of American civilization, while their names lead In the great col umn of names that have become immor tal in all ages through grand military and individual geographic achievements." All Honor Dae Explorers. Senator Mitchell then discussed the im portance of the Lewis and Clark .expedi tion, and compared it to many of the events which were the beginning of epochs in American history. He spoke of the wisdom of Jefferson in purchasing Louisiana, and commissioning Lewis and ClaTk to explore the territory and con tinued: "Why should the names of the men whose military genius, whose remarkable hardihood and untiring perseverance, whose scientific attainment, whose un yielding courage in the face of tremen dous obstacles, seemingly Insurmountable, enabled them so successfully to execute the commission Imposed upon them, by President Jefferson be permitted to fade from the great school of American Im mortals? Why should the passing gen eration he permitted to forget the grand est achievement in the lines of military and scientific exploration, upon the part of two heroic members of the American Army, ever recorded In history? Why should the millions of our people now living In peace, in prosperity, and many of them in affluence, between the Mis souri and the Pacific Coast and reaping the fruits of agriculture, of mining, of grazing, of forestry, of trade, of com merce, and of all the varied Industries of a civilization -unparalleled by any people in any nation, enjoying the protection of a beneficent government of law and order, and a system of jurisprudence unparal leled by that of any people; why should not they in an appropriate manner, by an exhibition of their products, testify their appreciation of tho men who laid the cornerstone of all 'this magnificent beneficence? Why should we, as a Nation, hesitate to Join In some proper manner In appropriately commemorating an event in our Nation's history that marks the beginning of an era of that history, so pregnant not only with realized benefits, but so full of future possibilities? An era that stands as tho opening of an epoch In the development and exaltation of American civilization, and why should we as a Nation, and why should we as a people. Irrespective of party, regardless of sectional lines, fall to aid in a proper manner an -appropriate industrial and commercial exposition, In commemorating the names and memories of the men who Alazed the-pathway that has enabled us to mount these towering heights as a Nation and a people? Best Manner of Celebration. "And Jn what manner can the 100th an niversary of the crossing of the continent by Lewis and Clark in 18M-05 be as appro priately .and conspicuously commemorat ed, and their names be thus kept forever bright in this world's grand biographical lexicon al Immortal names, and on his tory's enduring pages, as by a grand in dustrial exposition of the varied products oi that section of our common country to which their memorable expedition made an entrance for the builders of physical and mortal empire, and for the founders of states? "The purpose of my remarks at this time Is. to attract the attention not only of the Senate and House of Representa tives of the United States, but the whole country, to the fact that it Is the settled determination of the people of the great West and of the grand Pacific North, west as Individuals and as states, to join hands in commemorating the cen tennial anniversary of the achievements pf Lewis and Clark, by holding a grand Industrial exposition at Portland, Or., in the year 1905. And In this connection I am pleased to be ablo to state that Indeed great and satisfactory progress has 'al ready been made' In this direction. Many months ago a corporation for this pur pose was organized by many of the lead ing Influential business men of Oregon, materially aided by prominent business men of the States of Washington and Idaho, having for its purpose the promo tion of this enterprise. At the head of this corporation, and as Its president Is Hon. H. W. Corbett formerly Senator from that state In this body, and one of the wealthiest and most enterprising bus iness men of the Iaclflc Coast He has already contributed largely of his means and Is untiring in his efforts in promoting the cause. Already more than $350,000 in cash has been raised in support of the enterprise. The Legislature of the State of Oregon, nearly 18 months ago, spoke out boldly and emphatically in favor of the great purpose, as is Indicated by the legislative memorial Just read. The peo ple not only of Oregon, but of all the Pacific Coast States, are enthusiastic in its favor. The press of the Pacific Coast, Irrespective of party, without a single ex ception, is earnest, cordial and enthusias tic; our public men are a unit, but not less enthusiastic are the people generally of all classes. Ma&mitndc of Exposition. "It Is not our purpose to have in mag nitude a Chicago, a Paris or a St Louis exposition, but it is our purpose and our firm determination Jo have an industrial exposition on a scale, while somewhat less In pretensions than those, yet on a" scale which will, by the magnitude1 and character of our varied products, com mand the admiration of all who visit It We propose to present for the inspection of the people not only of our own cpun try. but those of foreign countries as well, the varied products of our treat Pacific Northwest, which we are sure will elicit not only their astonishment but their ad miration and respect "Not now, but at tho next session of this Congress, I shall ask, with the con fident expectation that- it will be Rurely granted, some proper Congressional rec ognition of this proposed Exposition, nnd thus recognized and aided at least by the smiles and approbation of Congress, we shall hope to have an Exposition which will appropriately commemorate the great military and scientific exploration of Lew Is and Clark. I shall do this, notwith standing the statement yesterday of the distinguished Senator Xrom Maine, that we ought not again in a generation take any part whatever in any of these expo sitions, after referring to the expositions at Buffalo and Charleston. I am sure the great patriotic heart of the Senator from Maine will not hesitate, when 'the time comes and the matter is presented in its true light and when the demand upon Congress will be in all respects reason able and modest, to make this one excep tion, and that we will find him, a dis tinguished leader of the Senate, of the committee on appropriations, co-operating with the people and the states of the great Pacific Northwest in bringing to a successful conclusion a modest Industrial Exposition, commemorative of the, great geographical and scientific achievements of Lewis and Clark, which have done so much to open the doofS to a great future for so many of the citizens of this coun try, many of whom come from the New England States-" OREGON LAND BILL PASSES. Measure to Sell Reservation Lands Now Goes to President. WASHINGTON. June 27.

The bill now goes to the President and will undoubtedly become a law In a short time. Aldrich objected to the bill, but after Mitchell made an explanation showing the necessity of the legislation the Rhode Island Senator withdrew his objection. Right of "Way for Bohemia Road. R. J.

Entire Force of Machinists In Omaha Shops Discharged. OMAHA, June 27. The strike position in the Union Pacific shops was compli cated when the shops closed tonight by an order which came as a complete smv prise to the men. The order discharged the entire force of machinists with the exception of 10 men, a total of 132 receiv ing their pay and final discharge papers. The order was delivered at the shops while the Machinists Union committee was in conference with officials at headquar ters, and when it was announced that ne gotiations were in progress and peace was in sight Eighteen menjfcjrero let out at Armstrong, Kan. "w The machinists held a meeting tonight but positively declined to .give out any In formation. Shops are not affected-at other points by this order, and machinists here declared there will be a .walkout of ma chinists In the shops along the whole sys tem. Today'3 order makes a total reduc tion of 600 men at the Omaha shops, and of over 1300 men along the system. Union Pacific officials say the discharges are due to the bollcrmakers' strike and the consequent lack, of employment for ma chinists. As they cannot tell when the men can be re-employed, they say the discharges were made permanent Differences with the Carbullders XTnlon were settled. COAL MIXERS' STRIKE. Idle "Workcri "Waiting; Anxiously for "Wright's Report. WILKESBARRE. Pa.. June 27. Tomor row wll end the seventh week of the great anthracite coal miners strike. Except ing President Mitchell's offer to arbitrate. there has been no proposition advanced by either of the parties to the controversy since the strike began, and the prediction that the struggle will be one to a finish still holds good. However, it Is still be lieved here that some outside party is go ing over the situation with a view to find ing a way to bring the miners and oper ators together. If such Is being done, it Is not likely any move will be made until after the special convention Is held next month at Indianapolis. It is ndt unlikely that the retort of Commissioner Carroll D. Wright to President Roosevelt may suggest some. way that will lead to a set tlement The publication of the report is eagerly awaited by the strikers.
