People Can Amend Constitution.
There is one feature of the initiative
and referendum amendment which has
not been generally noticed and of which
few people are aware. That is the clause
which empowers the people to amend the
constitution independent of Legislative ac
tion. In fact, the people can amend the
constitution as easily as they can pass
an ordinary law by means of the initia
tive and referendum. Heretofore the
Legislature had to indorse a proposed
amendment at two sessions -of the Leg
lslature before it could be submitted to
the people. Now the people- can propose
an amendment by a petition of 8 per cent
of the voters and have it submitted to
them at the next regular election. If
majority are in favor of it it becomes
part of the constitution.
It is also to be noted that under the
new amendment a different rule prevails
regarding the method of counting ma
Joritles. Prior to the adoption of the
Initiative and referendum a proposed
amendment must receive a majority of
all the votes cast at the election In order
to succeed; now It is only required that
It shall receive a majority of all the votes
cast on that subject. Under the former
rule a man who -ypted at the election
but did not vote on tho subject of. the
amendment was counted as voting in- the
negative. Now no vote will be counted in
the negative unless the voter has marked
his ballot so as to show a negative vote,
The new rule makes it easier to secure
an amendment to the constitution,- for
there are always 5000 to 10.000 voters who
do not mark their ballots on all subject
or candidates.
The Initiative and referendum clause In
the constitution says on thl3 subject:
Tho people reserve -to themselves power to
propose laws and amendments to the const!
tutlon and to enact -or reject the same. Inde
pendent of the Legislative assembly, and also
reserve pe-wer at their own option to approve
or reject at the polls any act of the Lesls
latlve assembly. The flrst power reserved by
the people Is the initiative, and not more than
8 per cent of the legal voters shall be re
quired to propose any measure by such petl
tion. ... Any measure referred to the peo
ple 6hall take effect and become the law
when It is approved by a majority of the
vote3 cast thereon, and not otherwise.
JReferenduni for 1005 Fair.
Any one who goes much among the
people of the state and talks with them
on Legislative matters will soon be con
vlnced that the people will not be slow
to ask that important questions be re
ferred to them. This is particularly true
of appropriation bills. It requires only
5 per cent of the voters to compel the
submission of a- measure enacted by the
Legislature, so that although a majority
of the voters may be In favor of the act
it may be held up for 18 months because
5 per cent of the voters want to ex
press their opposition -to it. This fact
more than any other one thing will re
ceive the consideration of the next Legls
lature. The important question will not
be "What is "best?" but rather "What
will the voters think Is best?".
Thus, while a majority of the Legisla
ture, and probably a majority of ,tho
people, will be in favor of an approprla
tion of $500,000 for the Lewis & Clark
Centennial, any one who Is in touch with
the people of the country districts knows
that almost-certainly-5 per-cent of the
voters will demand that such an- appro
prlatlon- bo. submitted- to them;- at the

ington, Oct.- 12. Senator Burrows is
a high protectionist. As a member
of tho ways and-means committee in tho
a floating one of steel, should be pro
vided for, of the largest size. Lack of
room In the. yard makes a floating dock
desirable, part!cularlyas there is ample
depth of water. A marine way Is also
recommended! . for hauling out torpedo
boats and other small vessels.
The yard is now without adequate
means of handling heavy weights into
and out of ships. For this purpose a
steel floating- derrick is recommended,
sufficiently large to handle guns, engines
and boilers. A steam dock crane of 40
ton3 capacity is needed to facilitate1 work
In the present dock. In addition to these
Items; $50,000 is recom'mended for machin
ery; 579,000 for an additional power plant;
$45,000 fora complete sawmill; $CO,000 for

for sheet metal workers; $50,000 for black

mill. Tho department estimates that tho

test, October 15, 1903, and for acceptance
by the end of that year.

learned late tonight that ilrs. Henry
Kottys was also seriously Injured.
At Camp Point eight houses were de
molished. In some places entire orchards
were leveled.
Wind Wrecked Houses.
MACON, Mo., Oct. 12. A disastrous
wind storm visited -Macon this evening,
destroying several houses and buildings in
the southeast portion of town. The de
vastated region was very thinly popu
lated or greater damage would have been
done. Darkness" settled down during a
terrific rain storm. The hillsides arc dot
ted with the lanterns of the homeless
householders. As far as can be ascer
tained, no lives were lost. The telephone
wires are down and no news can be had
from suburban residents.
At Xeoia, a mining village In this

House and the finance committee in the
Senate, he has had much to do with
three different tariff laws, beginning with
the McKlnley bill.. Burrows, however,
keeps his ear close to' the ground, and
,when he says, "If we don't revise the
tariff, the other fellows will," It means
that he knows the temper of the people.
Burrows believes in the "Iowa idea," or
at least he Is talking It quite strongly,
and may urge It at tho first opportunity.
He thinks that If the Republicans carry
the House this Fall, Congress should be
called, In session Immediately after the
short session to revise the tariff. In
case .of a Democratic victory the oppor- j
tunlty will be lost. He believes that it
v'would be Inexpedient to attempt tariff
revision at the long session of Congress j
14 months hence, as it would go over into
the campaign of 1904. - !
Burrows takes no -stock in the Idea that'
tariff revision will disturb business In
terests, unless undertaken by the Demo
crats. He points out that neither the
McKlnley nor Dlngley legislation affect- '
ed business to any great extent, but that
the Wilson-Gorman act did, because rad
ical changes were to be made. At all
events, he Insists that a sufficient dem
onstration has been made toward tariff
revision to force action In spite of oppo
sition. He does not mince matters in say
ing that trusts and combinations have
taken advantage -of the tariff, and In
"many cases found shelter behind the very .
high duties.
His position on the finance committee
makes Burrows' statements of consider
able Importance. The same sentiment
will, no doubt, compel Allison, Spooner
and Hansbrough to take the same view,
and these will constitute a majority of
the' Republican membership of the finance
committee. With men of Burrows' po
sition talking tariff revision it means
that it is bound to come.
Trust Legislation.
Radical trust legislation may be pre
vented at the coming session of Congress
on account of lack of time, but it Is
likely to, be attempted. The coal strike
will furnish an Incentive, and the man
ner In which the operators have treated
prominent Republicans who have at
tempted to bring about an adjustment
ought to make the men of that party
anxlotfs to "even up" if possible. It is
believed that tho President will take
rather advanced ground on the subject,
and will undertake to recommend legis
lation which will prevent ajrepotltlon ol
the events of the past few months.
There Is a wa,y to legislate to reach
tho trusts if the members of Congress
want to find it. - If President Roosevelt
finds the- way It would be suicide for
any set of men In Congress to try to de
feat tho plan..
PUGET SOUND NAVY-YARD. A
Many Improvements Desirable Ap-
propriations Recommended.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 12. In his annual re
port to Secretary Moody, Chief Con
structor Bowles, of the Navy, suggests
that some rather large improvements be
undertaken at the Puget Sound navy
yard, if that yard Is to take jank along
side the. largest in the country. 'Although

ST. JOHNS, N.- F.. Oct. 1Z The fact
that Sir Robert Bond, Premier of New

of the Bond-Blalne convention. In spite
of the reports that Premier Bond has
failed in his mlstdon nothing has yet
arisen to warrant such a conclusion.

No Development in the Situation
Either at Washington or New
York Coal Exported to Ger
many to Be Returned
This week will come the test of the
claim of the coal companies that they
can get plenty of men If protection
be guaranteed them. Notices were
posted by the Erie Company last night;
requesting striking miners to return to
woik and giving assurance of ample
protection. Interest lr aiding the
striking miners continues, and was
manifested at numerous meetings yes
terday. Coal Is to be Imported from
Germany and Russia, that from Ger
many having been exported from the
United States.
WTLKESBARRE. Pa., Oct. 12. The
Erie Company tonight posted notices al
Its collieries at Plttston requesting al!
striking employes to return to work to
morrow. The company assured all men
who should return ample protection.
This" Is believed to be the flrst move on
the part of the coal companies to breai
the strike under the protection of troops
OPERATORS AVILL" TItY'TO STAItTi
Their Claim That They Can Get Mes
to Be Tested.
SCRANTON, Pa., Oct, 12. This is the
beginning of a week which. It is generally
believed, will put to a test the claim Ql
the operators that they win be enabled to
start up their collieries If given protec
tion, yandr-the counter assertion of the
Unltpd Mlneworkers' organization, as ex.
DreSced in Wednesday's resolutions, that
the strikers will not return to work withl
but Concessions, even though tho entire,
military force of the United States shlTuld
be here to protect them.
The operators have been, for the past
week making a supreme effort to securs
men. They have succeeded to some ex
tent, and make the announcement with
some posltiveness that various collieries.
will resume operations In the course of a
few days. The Delaware & Hudson Com
pany will' make a start tomorrow at the.
Bellovue. The Green Ridge Coal Com-
pany will open up its Green Ridge col
liery, probably tomorrow or the next day.
Other compdnles say they are figuring
on a resumption at certain collieries, hut
decline to give their location. The claim
is also made on the operators' side that
the forces at collieries already working
are to be largely increased during the
week. The United Mlneworkers' leaders
continue to assert that the military men
can do nothing towards inducing men to
return to work, and that all the men who
could be induced to go back to work
without concessions are already back.
Strike disorder is now almost wholly
wanting. During the past two days the
soldiers havo had nothing to do further
than patrol duty.
DID NOT ACT FOR PRESIDENT.
Root's Interview With Morstan Con
ference With Roosevelt.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. Secretary
Root, who returned t6 Washington last
night, refused to discuss his interview
with J. P. Morgan any further than to
say that ho did not carry a message from
tho President to Mr. Morgan, and did not
telegraph the President from New York,
as has been stated.
Secretary Root spent some time at the
temporary White House tonight in con
sultation with the President regarding
the coal strike. Nothing could be ascer
tained as to what took place, the Sec
retary declining to say anything about
his visit, and the officials at tho White
House being equally reticent.
Earlier In the evening the President re
ceived Professor J. r?. Jenks, of Cornell
University, who was accompanied by M.
H. Marks, a New York attorney. Pro
fessor Jenks was formerly a member of
the Industrial Commission, and has mado
a study of economical subjects. The visit
of these two gentlemen had to do with
the coal strike, although just what is not
known. ,t
At the temporary White House, the
officials said tonight that there was ab
solutely nothing to say for the press on
the coal strike situation.
UNCHANGED IN NEW YORK.
Morgan Didn't Leave His Yacht
BaerNvcnt to See Him.
NTEW YORK. Oct. 12. Developments
here today in the coal strike situation
were lacking. J. P. Morgan spent today
on board his yacht, the Corsair, lying in
North River, and the visit of two men
during the afternoon gave rise to the re
port that another important conference
was being held, but the identity of Mr.
Morgan's visitors could not be learned.
It was reported that George F. Baer was
one of the two men who left the yacht
in a launch about 10 o'clock tonight. Mr.
Morgan himself did not leave the yacht
t0Except an interview with John Markle,
the operators gave out nothing today, and
Mr. Markle simply reiterated that no set
tlement was in sight, and there could bo
no settlement except by the miners going
to work Independently. "The situation Is
unchanged," he said, "except that condi
tions are Improving In the coal regions."
Mr. Markle would not comment on the
visit of Secretary Root yesterday nor on
his own conference with Mr. Morgan last
evening. Other operators said they had
assurances from the coal fields that large
