EUGENE' CLAIMS THE HONOR.
Oldest Society for Stady of Ancient
Greeks and Romans.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene.
Decv 7. The State University of Oregon
has the distinction of having the oldest
society In the. Northwest, or, perhaps, on
the Pacific Coast, which is organised for
the study of life, literature and archi
tecture Ail the ancient Greeks and Ro
mans!. The Socletas Qulrinalls was or
ganized at the University of Oregon on
October 28, 1598, under the direction o
Professor Straubt of the Greek depart
ment, and Professor Dunn, of the Latin
department. During the past four years
regular monthly meetings have been held
and some very creditable work has been
done by the society. Owing to pressure
of other duties this Fall, the Socletas
Qulrinalls has not been active, but an
soon as the holidays shall be past, the
society will become busy In preparing a
series of papers to be read at the regular
meetings.
The membership of the SocJetas Quinna-
ot responsible for bis acts. In substantia-
ion of this statement the brother said
hat Thompson was born while his mother
:as a raving maniac confined in an Insane
.sylum, where she died. Further, that the
amily had always considered the young
nan insane, but he had no violent mania

o any one. The members of the court
nartial were unable to receive these facts
ts testimony before them, and the trial

beaded guilty to desertion and was tried
m the other charges". The finding of the

partment, and Its approval Is expected
rom there during the present week. Then
formal Inquiry into the young man's
nental condition will be held, which will
.eclde whether he was sufficiently respon
sible for his acts to undergo the sentence
o be imposed, or should be confined in an
nsane asylum.
DAMAGED BY HIGH WATER.
Woolen Mill at Eugene Out of True
Roads Are Bad.
EUGENE. Dec. 7. (Spccial.)-The high
vater caused considerable damage to the
.voolen mill In this city, and was sufficient
o scare the proprietors regarding the
rospect of what might happen If the
vater should go four feet higher, as It
;ometlmes does. The principal damage
xae done by softening the soli under the
'oundatlons, so that the great weight
aused portions to sag. This not only
eft the floors out of level, and caused the
able tower to careen, but left some of
he machinery out of true. It is estl
nated the damage will amount to only
230.
Since the water has subsided, the mall
.tages are getting through east and west
f here, but not without much difficulty.
On the McKenzie route lees trouble Is ex
icrlenced than on the Mapleton route,
where the road is In a frightful condition.
The distance from Mapleton to Eugene Is
bout GO miles, and it takes from 6 o'clock
n the morning until midnight to make
he trip.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec 3. If the declarations of Sen
ators and Representatives reflect the sent
iment of their respective constltuentsthe
majority of the people are certainly op
posed to any revision of the tariff at the
present time. Where one member of the
National Legislature declares for revision,
there will be two who oppose a change at
this time. Not only does this opposition
come from the JSast but from the Middle
West, the Rocky Mountain States and the
Pacific Coast Regardless of any action
that may be taken In the next Congress,
it Is very apparent that no revision will
be possible In the present short session,
when a limited amount of debate can kill
any measure to which there Is strenuous
objection. ,
New England Opposed.
Every Senator or Representative from
New England who has been interviewed
here since Congress convened has ex
pressed himself as diametrically opposed
to any interference with the present tariff.
Senator sale's views were recently quot
ed In these dispatches. Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts, is equally pronounced.
"Changes In the tariff would result in an
uncertainty In the commercial world,
which might cause a panic," says he.
"Just as soon as Congress begins to con
sider the reduction or Increase of duties
on certain articles all the dealers and
manufacturers who sell or make such ar
tides find themselves at sea. Nobody
knows what raw material will cost in the
future, or what the manufactured prod- ;
ucts to be affected will bring. All the
members of Congress know this, and I am
sure the Republicans are too wise to at
tempt any changes at a session so short
that tart if revision could- not be given
proper attention."
The Iowa Idea.
In contrast with this. Representative"
Lacey, of Iowa, explains the attitude of
the people of his state.
"There are two schedules which Iowa
people think should be changed the steel
and Iron schedule and the lumber sched
ule," says he. "We feel that some
changes of that character should be made,
if it can be without causing greater in
juries to the business interests ofi the
country than the corresponding advant
ages to the people Interested in the par
ticular articles mentioned. We don't
want any general tariff shake-up."
The Iowa Idea Is contained in the last
sentence of Mr. Lacey's declaration. They
favor a limited number of modifications;
no general revision.
What the Elections Indicate.
"If the Fall elections demonstrate any
thing," says Representative Loudensla
ger, of New Jersey, one of the leading
Republicans of the House, and member
of Ihe National committee, "it Is that the
people are entirely satisfied with the pres
ent phenomenal prosperity of the entire
country; that tariff revision Is not want
ed; arid. In my opinion, it will not bo at
tempted. Why should anything be done
in the way of legislation to stop our pres
ent commercial progress, particularly
when the result of such legislation Is a
matter of uncertainty, and when the
slightest attempt to do anything with the
tariff immediately engenders timidity and
breaks up confidence, which Is the recog
nized great factor in maintaining our
commercial stride of the present mo
ment? "I am not a believer in the efficiency of
a tariff commission," continued. Mr.. Lou
'denslager. "In fact, I think the least leg
islation Congress can put on the statute
books tho better."
In the Rocky Mountains.
"Out in our part of the country there
is no disposition to think the world is
eomlng to an end on account of high tar
iff or the trusts," Is the expression used
by Senator Warren, of Wyoming. "Every
body Is doing well. We cannot heed the
cry of free traders, and a few localities
that would be benefited by a revision of
the schedules as against the entire coun
try." The views of Senator Warren are cor
dially indorsed by his colleague, Senator
Clark, and by Representative Mondell,
from that state. They are all content to
follow the advice of Senator Hanna, and
"let well enough alone."
From Nevada's Standpoint.
While' Senator Stewart Is charged with
being more of a Washlngtonlan than a
resident of Nevada, yet he no doubt re
flects the sentiment of that state to a
great extent "The Republican party Is
the tariff party," says he. "Tariff for the
protection of American labor is the car
dinal doctrine of that party. All free
traders are Democrats. Some Democrats
are free traders; some Democrats aro
tariff for revenue only. Most Democrats
are for tariff on articles not produced in
this country, and few. If any, of them are
for the protection of American labor.
Whenever the Democrats are In power
and tinker with the tariff, which they al
ways do, business is largely suspended
because "nobody can guess what will be
done next If some articles which were
properly taxed in the Dlngley law have
grown out of adjustment, and some mod
ifications ought to be made, it Is not
necessary to Tiave a general revision and
suspension of business while the adjust
ment is being made. The Republican
members of the two houses should In
vestigate and report if conditions as to
any particular articles have so changed
since the passage of the Dingley bill as
to require modification; it so, prepare a
bill for that purpose on protective lines,
and not on the destructive theories of the
Democratic party. The bill fhus prepared
ought to pass both houses without amend
ment and without debate, so far as Ro-
puDiicans are concerned.
"The report of the committee should be
sufficient to go to the country. Let the
loose talk about revising the tariff stop,
so far as Republicana are concerned, and
let such action be taken as will restore
the Dlngley bill to the excellent adjust
ment which existed at the time of its
passage. It is the best tariff law ever
passed, and has produced more prosperity
than any other. The Republicans -who aro
responsible for the" tariff cannot afford
to allow the Dlngley bill to fall into the
hands of nonpartisans, free traders or
revenue 'tarlffltes.' Discussion of sched
ules with free traders Is about as useful
as discussing the benefits of prosperity
with a calamity howler.
To Control the Trusts.
AlonV with the general subject of tariff
revision is the proposition to control the
trusts by a reduction or removal of tariff
on trust-made articles. Representative
Fowler, of New Jersey, Is one of the ad
vocates of this plan. "Establish a tariff
commission to correct the evils in the
tariff, and at the same time to regulate
the trusts, says he. A bill for this pur
pose was introduced by Mr. Fowler at
the last session of Congress, and will bo
urged at the present session. Mr. Fowler
is one of the original advocates of a tariff
commission. In May, 1897, before the
Dlngley bill passed, he proposed that the
whole tariff question should be placed in
the hands of a commission. The surges
tion did not receive serious consideration,
however. Last year, when demands were
again heard for a revision of the tariff.
Mr. Fowler resurrected his commission
plan, adding the feature of a commission
to regulate and correct trust abuses
jxevertneiess, Mr. Fowlers bin is very
likely to remain in a pigeon hole In the
ways and means committee, where it
slumbered undisturbed during the last
long session..
Revisionists Are Active.
Notwithstanding the strong sentiment
against revision, the advocates of tariff
changes are most active, and will make
themselves heard throughout the session.
The Babcock Idea has many Irlends, who
are outspoken, and such men as Tawney
and JHeatwoIe, of Minnesota, are not back
ward about expressing' themselves, and
urging reform. The men from the Pa
cific Northwest are likely to remain si
lent on the tariff question this Winter.
Most of them have declared themselves
as against any changes, and will fall back
on former statements, when pressed for
opinions. Senator Foster is the most out
spoken; he never hesitates to denounce a
change, which he says would, at best,
result In generally upsetting business. To
open any .one schedule, he predicts, would
be to open up the entire tariff question,
and this the country does not want
BtG PLANING MILL FIRE.

Governor of Oregon. Besides outlining
his own policy, he will make such recom
mendations as he may deem proper.
Tlit Ballot for Senator.
On the second Tuesday after organiza
tion the two houses will take a separate
ballot on United States Senator, and if no
election be had at that time joint sessions
wiU be held daily thereafter until an elec
tion results. As stated heretofore, Gov
ernor Geer will continue as chief ex
ecutive of the state for two or three, days
after organization, but .will be out of of
fice nearly a week before the balloting be
gins. Being out of office will be an ad
vantage to him lp many respects, for he
could not, while holding the executive of
fice, discuss politics with legislators as
freely as he can while occupying the place
of a private citizen. Members of the Leg
islative department might resent an effort
of the executive to advise them In a mat
ter in , which he has a personal interest.
but as a private citizen he will be free
from official duties, and will have time to
present his arguments 'based upon his
popular -vote last June. On the other
hand, he will lack some strength he might
have. If his executive power was to con
tinue through the session. It Is quite
generally known that whatever Influence
Governor Geer wielded In the last cam
calm was in favor of the Democratic
candidate for Governor. Whether the
beneficiary of that Influence will recipro
cate in the coming Senatorial campaign
is a question upon which politicians are
speculating.
Composition of Legislation.
The Senate Is composed of 30 members,
of whom 14 are holdovers. There would
have been 15 holdovers but for the. resig
nation of Senator Inman, of Multnomah,
last May.
The holdovers are Senators Masters, of
Douglas; Booth, of Lane; Dimmick, of
Coos; Williamson, of Crook; Smith, of
Yamhill; Mulkey, of Polk; Wehrung, of
Washington; Hunt, Mays, Smith and

man; Steiner, of Wheeler, and Wade, of
Union.
Besides these holdovers, the following,
whose terms had expired, have befen re
turned. Kuykendall, of Lane; Daly, of
Benton; Howe, of Yamhill, and Brownell,
of Clackamas. So that 18 of the 30 mem
bers are old members. In the Senate
there are 24 Republicans and G Democrats.
In the House there are 60 members, of
whom 4D are Republicans and 11 Demo
crats. There are no holdovers, as the

years. The members of the last House
who wlir- participate In the deliberations
again this Winter are J3ddy, of Tillamook;
Humef of Curry; Harris, of Lane; Haw
kins, of Polk, and Jones, of Lincoln.
Work Before Legislature.
Among themost Important measures to
come before the Legislature in January
will be the Lewis and Clark appropria
tion, and a law governing the expenditure
of the appropriation, a revision of the irri
gation law, and' the enactment of laws
governing water rights, the enactment of
certain measures advocated by the labor
unions, a direct primary- nomination law,
a law providing the procedure under the
Initiative and referendum, a law taxing
corporations for special privileges, a re
vision of the land laws, and the passage
