BOISE, Idaho. Nov. 9. (Special.) The political revolution in Idaho at last Tues day's election gives rise to much specula tion with respect to its permanent effect upon the politics of the state. It Is gen erally conceded that the state Is now nor mally Republican. Abnormal conditions contributed to the size of the.majority secured by the Republican ticket, but that the state Is permanently In the Republi can column .la not doubted by any Re publican, while that view Is shared by many Democrats. Not that the latter do not .hope 1 to win . victories In the future, but they feel that It must be In the face of Republican majorities under normal conditions. It has been believed that the gain to 'the Republicans In the disintegra tion of the Populist and Silver Republican parties had put the Republican party at least on an even footing with the opposi tion, while the preponderance of Republi can immigration had given the state a Republican majority. As a result of the election, however, the majority Is likely to be much greater than anticipated. Democrats Snn'Obed Populists. An Incident occurr;d In the Democratic stale convention that seems to have bad a marked Influence on the result, x'he con vention failed to place a single man on the ticket who had been a Populist prior to this year. While the Democrats had In duced the Populist committee, or a wing of it, to disband the party and advise the members to align themselves with the Democrats, the convention Ignored that new element entirely. Moreover, when a resolution was Introduced to appoint a committee to confer with those calling themselves Populists, it was thrown into the waste-basket The action taken did not attract attention at the time, but It seems the Populists treasured the matter up, and It is declared that they very gen erally voted the Republican ticket In a spirit of revenge. A large proportion of the Populists were formerly Republicans. The Democrats had hoped to herd them Into the Democratic party. To seme degree success had attend ed this effort, a number of the Populists having declared themselves Democrats, But the snub administered by the con vention has led the rank and file once more tq deposit Republican ballots In the boxes, and the wise ones predict that the habit will become fixed. In other words. a much greater proportion of the former Populists may hereafter co-operate with the Republicans than would have been the case had not the Democratic convention snubbed them. Under all these conditions it is reason able to believe that Idaho is permanently In the Republican column, unless some thing unexpected shall occur or some great mistake be made. The new Gov ernor is a man not likely to commit blunders, and all the others ofllcers-elect are men of high character and marked ability; therefore we have nothing to fear from that source. Again, the Influence exerted by the poli cies of President Roosevelt is felt every where In the state, and Is a potential fac tor in shaping the future political status of the commonwealth. There aro few of any party who will not concede that with Roosevelt as the Republican candidate In 1904 Idaho will cast a much greater ma jority for the Republican ticket than It did In the recent election. United States Senatorshlp. The question of absorbing Interest to Idaho people just now Is, however, the ef fect of the election upon the representa tion of the state In the Senate of tho United States. Before the election there were very active Democratic candidates, Senator Heltfeld being far In the lead In the race. But the Republican landslide has brushed the candidates of the Demo cratic persuasion aside like the remains of so many exploded bombs, and Interest has centered upon the Republican aspi rants. There are four of these W. E. Borah. W. B. Heyburn, ex-Senator George L. Shoup and Judge D. W. Standrod, tho latter being Republican National Com mitteeman. The proportions of the victory have serl ously upset calculations. When It seemed just barely possible that the Republicans would have the 3i needed to elect, It was possible to form some estimate of the re sult, as the Republican counties were pretty well known and the preferences of their Republican candidates generally un derstood. But tho bringing in of some 20 others renders the problem more complex. But as the contest stands It is Borah against the field, though what understand ings may be arrived at later cannot be foreseen. Mr. Borah has been distinctly the leader lnthe campaign. He dominated the state convention, and was recognized as the master hand in its work. Through out the campaign he has been in the cen ter of the field swept by the Democratic fire, the guns of the enemy being trained upon him as -the leader of the Republican hosts. Mr. Borah 15 distinctly the repre sentative of the younger element In the party which" took the helm at the pri maries and has guided it through the elec tion contest. Therefore It is to be sup posed he will have the energetic support of that element, .while great numbers of the older leaders are his warm supporters. Where Borah Is Strong. It Is particularly In the south and south east, however, that Mr. Borah is recog nized as tho leader. In the north Judge Heyburn Is better known than he. and has the support of the major portion of the members-elect of the Legislature, so far as known. He Is a great, forceful man, and i3 everywhere aSmired for his ability. He will come down from the north with a considerable following, and will b& a very Important figure In the Senatorial contest. Senator Shoup will come into the con test on his past record. While it is not known that he Mas much positive strength, the possibilities of the situation with respect to him arc such as to com mand the attention of those interested in solving the political riddle. Judge Stanrod Is rather a receptive can didate. If Is understood the delegation from his county, Bannock, Is ready to support him, and that he Is ready to en ter tho "field If he finds a good opening He is a. man of ability, being both a law yer and a banker. He has means, and throughout the section where ho Is best known he has many friends.. . Of the 53 members now believed to have been elected by the Republicans, a con servative estimate would give Mr. Borah 25, with a strong possibility of his getting four more. Judge Heyburn seems to have 14, Judge Stanrod 5 and Senator Shoup 5. That is merely on estimate, as the pref erences of the members-elect are known positively In but a small proportion of cases. These figures may be upset before the members get together. They are of fered here simply to. Indicate the situation as it is now presented. Opposition to Borah. It is anticipated that there will bo a sharp fight on Mr. Borah on two grounds, one that he went with the Silver Repub licans In 1896; tho other that he drafted the plank In "the state platform this year respecting removal of duties on trust made goods. While the language of that plank Is strong, It Is not to' be assumed that Mr. Borah or 4iny others who sat in the convention Intended that the Govern ment should enter upon a general aboli tion of. the duties upon goods manufac tured by trusts. The plank was Intended as a warning to trusts that the govern ment held a club in its hands which it might wield with great effect in the case of any oppressive monopoly. That has been welj. understood by most Republic ans throughout the state, and, although tho plank has been covertly attacked In some eases and openly In Qthers, It does not seem to have had, a bad effect on the Republican vote. Therefore, It does not seem likely that the anticipated effort to prejudice members of the Legislature against Mr. Borah because of that plank will be very effective. A fair conclusion to be drawn from what is now known is that Borah will be the choice of the Legislature. POLITICS OF PORTO RICO Spooner to Call Irregularities- to At tention of President. MILWAUKEE, Nov. 9. A special to the Sentinel from Madison says: Senator John "Spooner has decided to call President Roosevelt's attention to the reports of political irregularities or out rages. In tho Island Of PqM Rico, and" probably will ask- that an official Investi gation be made. Senator Spooner left for Washington last night, having been called there by the -President for a conference on tho coming message to Congress. The Senator will bring the Porto Rican sub ject to the attention of the President early this week. Colonel Bird, of this city, father of Hobart S. Bird, publisher and editor of the San Juan News, persuaded the Sen ator to take the matter up with the Presi dent. He laid before the Senator evidence tending to prove that certain members of what is known as tho Federal party of the island were being maliciously perse cuted and prosecuted for their political activity. It is alleged that threats were freely made against the lives of the Fed eralist should they have the temerity to go to the polls and attempt to vote. TRIED TO LYNCH CARMEN Crowd Angry Because Car Struck a Wng-xm. ST. LOUIS. Nov. 9.

POSITION OF THE DEPARTMENT Strange Representations Said to Have Been Made in "Washington Relative to the Present Des chutes Valley Enterprise. "l3REGONISNNEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 9. Secretary Hitchcock ex pects during the coming Winter or Spring to select sites for the first irrigation pro- AGAIN CANDIDATE FOR GEORGE jects to be built by the Government under the 'general law passed last session. The Geologllcal Survey Is now actively en gaged In compiling data collected by its field agents In the respective Western states, showing tho merits of the several sites examined. From this compilation the Secretary will be able to choose those presenting the most desirable features, both as to cost, amount of land reclaim able In propprtlon to the expenditure, and tho probable number of settlers to bo at tracted as a result of reclamation. The Upper Deschutes is one of tho most favorable In Oregon. It is the opinion of the Geographical Survey that It is one of the most promising sites in the coun try. The conditions there are such as to Insure an abundant supply of water which can be distributed over a large area of rich but now arid land, at rea sonable cost. The department believes that money expended there would soon be repaid into' the irrigation fund by set tlers who would "eagerly grasp the oppor tunity to secure valuable lands upon pay ment for the water rights. Inspector Green, by direction of Secre tary JHitchcock, is now Investigating the state selections on the Upper Deschutes to determine whether or not they embrace land that is arid, and otherwise subject to selection under the Carey act. If his report shows the land to be- arid, and the state in tho meantime does not withdraw its request for such selections, the lists will be approved, unleas found to be other wise Irregular. The state wpuld then be expected to close Its contracts with, the Pilot Butte and other Irrigation com panies, and reclamation would bo at tempted by private enterprises. On the other hand, if Green's report shall show the state selections to Include other than arid lands, the Secretary will either can cel the selections or return the request to the state asking that the lists be modified to include only arid tracts. Orejron Land Board's Action. Strong representations have 'been made to the Interior Department, whicli lead to th6 conclusion that the Oregon Land Board acted blindly and lgnorantly. in filing its selections under the Carey act. The selections In the Upper Deschutes are long, narrow strips of land running in directlonsto enclrle areas of now desert It has been represented that the approval of such liss would practically - render these Included lands valueless, or place them under the control of proposed con tractors. ' It is possible, of course, that the nature of the country is such as to make It necessary ' that the selections assume this unusual shape, as one official' be'lieves, but this is not the advice of the department. If Secretary- Hitchcock becomes convinced that intending con tractors arc attempting to corner large tracts, under nending state selections, he will unhesitatingly turn down the state lists. - Tfo Profit In Private Enterprises. Hydrographer Newell, of the Geological Survey, who knows more about practical irrigation than any other man, . told The Oregonian correspondent yesterday that there had never been a successful Irriga tion project launched by private capital under the Carey act. Every one proved a financial failure. Out of 300,000" acres selected by the State of Wyoming, where most Carey act contracts have been made, only 11,000 are now under Irrigation, and tho men constructing these systems lost heavily.- Mr. Newell holds out no en couragement for the success ot projects undertaken In Oregon under this act. The Interior Department has been re liably informed that If the Government constructs an irrigation system on the Deschutes River, a railroad will be built Into the heart of the reclaimed area, giving ready connection with Portland. It has also been informed that if reclama tion is attempted in that section under the Carey act, the railroads .will not be built. While considerable pressure has been brought to bear to Induce the department to recognize large projects like the Milk River in Montana, and the Truckee Can yon In Nevada and Californfa, the enorm ity of the works required there, the vast cost of construction and the unknown cost per acre of reclamation, added to the doubtful success of the works, makes the department fearful of undertaking such schemes, especially until smaller and more-promising projects have demonstrat edthe success of Government reclama tion. It may be stated as almost a cer- UNITED STATES SENATOR- SHIP FROM IDAHO. ' Ii. SHOUP. talnty that neither of these large projects will bo undertaken for some years to come. Government reclamation is an ex periment and Secretary Hitchcock's busi ness Instincts lead him to conclude that small experiments are best. Mitchell and Williamson at Capital. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, D. C, Nov. 9. Senator Mitchell arrived In Washington yesterday to take up work of the sub-committee whlah is to report on conditions In Hawaii. He called to pay- his respects to President Roose velt and presented Representative-elect Williamson. When the President expressed delight at the result of the recent elec tion and boasted of the work of Renub licans In the East, Mr. Williamson Bald: "After all, the country has merely fol lowed the example set by Oregon." Williamson will leave for home tomor morrow. Naval Training: on Pnprct Sonnd. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, D. -C.. Nov. 9.

SANDRINGHAM. England, Nov. 9.-t The weather here today was perfect and mild, and the bright sunshine brought crowds of visitors -to Sandrlngham on tha chance of seeing Emperor William. The approaches to the church were lined with spectators. Queen Alexandra, the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Chamberlain arrived at the church together. Half an hour later King Edward, Emperor William, Prime Minister Balfour, Colonial Secre tary Chamberlain and other distinguished persons arrived and stood chatting out- ide. King Edward talked with Mr. Cham berlain for a few minutes. Then the .Em peror of Germany approached, and for a quarter ot an hour the Emperor and Mr. Chamberlain stood apart and conversed earnestly. The service had begun and the anthem had been reached before the royal party entered the church, the King taking the Emperor's arm. The Bishop of Rlpon preached on the disappearance of race distinctions and the attaining of the grand brotherhood of men. He referred to King Edward's re covery from his illness, to the visit of his kinsman monarch and to the ties which have long united Germany and Great Britain. The bishop said, however. that these countries were divided by the German ocean, and that a race blended of both people was continuing to grow on the other side of the Atlantic, where Germans and Englishmen were becoming of one nativity. The services were closed by singing tho national anthem. After wards tho two monarchs walked together through tho gardens. During the day King "Edward received a host of birthday congratulations and gifts. Emperor William gave him a val uable vase.- After dinner at the palace the royal party heard Jan Kubellk, tho Austrian violinist. V Sir Henry Irving and Arthur Bourchier have been commanded to act before King Edward and Emperor Wiliam at Sandrlng ham Palace next Thursday night. They will each present a one-act lay. KIXG EDWARD'S DECORATIONS. Xo Xcvr Peerage"--Peir Promotions ""for War and Coramercp. LONDON, Nov. 9. With the exception of some possibly significant decorations to Portuguese and Japanese officials, the long list of His Majesty's birthday honors is rather uninteresting. Some promotions In connection with tho coronation cere monies and the South African War, and because of services rendered to commerce and In Parliament, are announced. No new peerages have been created. R. J. Cartwright, Canadian Minister of Commerce; Lord Revelstoke. chairman of the recent commission on London docks, and the retiring Lord Mayor of London, Sir Joseph C. Dlmsdale, are among the new Privy Councillors. The new baronet, cies include Alexander H. Brown, M. P., and August Prevost, governor of the Bank of England. Among other noteworthy honors record ed in the list Is the conferring upon the Japanese Prince Arisigawa, a coronation visitor, the decoration of the Knight of tho Order of the Garter and Companion of the Bath. Sir James L. MacKay and Count Matsugata, ex-Premier of Japan, are made Knights of the Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George.

London Papers Think Its Evacuation Xot Really Settled. LONDON, Nov. 10. The Daily Mail and the Dally News this morning throw doubt upon tho reality of the reported settlement of the evacuation of Shanghai. The former paper hints that Germany ha3 a secret understanding w,ith China in the matter, and the latter journal declares that Emperor William's visit to King Ed ward is concerned with that question, and with an endeavor on the part of Ger many to secure a quid pro quo for Ger man acquiescence, while Great Britain completes her arrangement with Portugal with reforence to Delagoa Bay. Te Dally News further accuses the govern ment of Imperilling the British position in China, In order to secure the barren con cession of Delagoa Bay. Colonial Secre tary Chamberlain Is determined, accord ing to the Dally News, to obtain a work ing agreement with regard to Delagoa Bay at whatever cost. Another Spanish Crisis Imminent.
