THE TWO HOUSES DIFFER HOUSE AGAIXST TRUSTS; SEYA.TE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT IT. Senator Hoar a Stumbling: Block Senator Simon, of Orcgron, Si lent on Trust -Question. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Dec. 10. It looks at this time as if the House would pass an anti-trust bill, possibly before the holiday recess, but that the measure will not be acted upon by the Senate. While the House com mittee is making satisfactory progress with its consideration of pending bills, sufficient opposition among leading Sen ators has developed to give the friends of the Administration anti-trust bills the greatest concern. Most of the Repub lican members of the Senate judiciary committee decline absolutely to express their views on the subject, or to make predictions. Senator Hoar, the chahrnan of the committee, has already expressed doubts about trust legislation, and he, more than any other man, is regarded as the stumbling block Jn the way of action when a bill comes from the House. Sen ators Piatt of Connecticut, Fairbanks of Indiana, Clark of Wyoming; Simon of Oregon, Nelson of Minnesota and Me Comas of Maryland are all silent when approached on the subject of prospective trust legislation. Senator Depew, the other remaining Republican member of the committee, expresses himself as fa vorable to the President's views, but con tents himself with this general state ment: The Democratic members of the committee all favor anti-trust legisla tion. Trusts "Will Fight. The House subcommittee, the ''trust busters," as it is called, is believed to favor a provision in the anti-trust bill requiring all corporations doing an Inter state commerce business to tile annual reports with the Interstate Commerce Commission, disclosing facts as to capi talization, etc While such a provision would conform to the President's rec ommendation, it is certain to meet with more or less opposition in the Senate. Many large corporations are known to be bitterly opposed -to what they term a form of inquisition Into their business affairs, and no doubt earnest efforts will be made to modify their requirement. There are a number of Senators who are thought to be ready to Interpose obstacles in the way of "objectionable legislation," and will bring about delay by insisting upon the closest scrutiny of the legisla tion which the House sends over, and the most careful weighing cf the probable results of that legislation upon business heats all how some people du get on, sam a tan, lanit inaiv.auai.Tvun leaned against a telegraph pole and watched the crowd of Christmas shop pers streaming along Third streot. He aimed deliberately at a small "chuck hole" filled with muddy water nearly half-way across the street. With an audible "p'tu," he ejected a gill of to 'bacco juice and scored a center shot. "Some air born rich, some get rich, some has money left to 'em, and some just natchelly has money draw to 'em and stick wherever they go or whatever fool thing they do like one of them air magnlts. "Now, there's my brother Clay. "When the old folks died there was the home place and a thousand dollars in money. I wanted to go West "J v,o on , and set up In busi- It beats all now some , . , , people du get on." ness and set rich. Clay 'lowed he'd like to stay at the old place. He had a girl, daughter of Colonel Simps, our neighbor, and he cae'lated to get married pretty soon. So we fixed It by my takin' the thousand dollars and callln' it square. I kind of pitied Clay when I said good bye and started West, fer I could see the years of nothin' but toil and struggle ahead of him. Pretty soon Clay wrote me that Mss Simps had married Judge Butt's son. The Judge was the richest man in our county. Well, Clay he didn't talk -much, but he stayed right there. The home place had a little corn land, but the rest was all poor and raised nothin' but oak trees. Well, corn was high one year and Clay had a -good crop. Hawgs was cheap, and so he bought hawgs with his corn crop, and he turned the hawgs into them oak woods and they et the acorns and growed fat and multi plied. Next year "corn was cheap and hawgs was high; so he sold hawgs and bought more corn, and next year hawgs was cheap and corn was high; so he bought hawgs and sold corn. And he jist kept on a-doln tfiat until he got pow erful well forehanded. "Now, the funny thing about it was that he done all his buyin' and sellin' with Jackson Butts, Who'd married Miss ' Simps. The Butts had a big place, and it jined onto the north side o' my broth er's farm. Well, y' see. Clay he always worked it so's to have stuff to sell when Butts wanted to buy, by doin' his buyin when Butts wanted to sell, and it's plain as the nose on you're face that by and by Butts got cramped arid wanted to borrow a little money on the 20-acre patch nearest to Clay. He paid the in terest by sellin' hawgs to Clay when hawgs was cheap, and corn when corn was cheap. So by and by he mort gaged some more to Clay, and then seme more, and then Clay had it all, and Butts couldn't meet his-.paymints. "So Butts' wife come over one day and ast Clay not to foreclose 'n drive 'em out o' house 'n home. She spoke about the 'friendship as she called it, which she 'n' Clay used to enjoy. Durlri' the talk Clay was countin' a big sum o' money that he was goin to take to the bank next day, and Mis' Butts she jist eyed that money. She.said it was such a good thing to have lots of money, and that she could Jist love a" man that 'was smart 'nough to make lots of money. At that my brother Clay he jist rlz up and spoke to her stern. "Says he: 'Ma'am, says he, 'money is a kind of stuff that- pizens Its p'scssor so's he turns to carrion, an' all the turkey buzzards o human kind are 'tract ed to him. "Then he. told her she and Butts could stay on the place By payln' him rent in so many hawgs or so much corn each year, as he should chose to take It. So now he takes the rent in hawgs when hawgs is high, and in corn when corn is high, and in bpth when both is high. Clay's doln' toler'ble well yet. "Watch me hit that dog in the eye "P'tu!" (Exit deg, yelping.) WHILE In Portland last Thanksgiving day, s'lys the Eugene Guard, a rep resentative of this paper was in the Port land Hotel and met there S. H. Friendly, Frank Dunn and c-ther famous Eugene peo ple Later President Ressler, of Monmouth, spoke to the reporter, and Superintendent Ackerman was with him. They all chatted -a moment and sepa rated. A reporter sidled up to the other reporter and suavely asked if he might secure his name for the great morning paper.. Vis- The rartners In crime shook hands. Ions of immense fame rose, glimmered In the distance and Jaded away. "I see you are acquainted with -Mr. I TALES OF THE TOWN conditions. If this well-known , policy is pursued in the short session, there can be but one result. Delegate From the Philippines, The Philippines, like Alaska, have no regularly elected Delegate In Congress, but the commercial Interests have sent a representative to Washington to pre sent to members of Congress the needs of the Islands In the way of immediate legislation. Brewster Cameron Is acting as Philippine delegate this Winter. He is particularly anxious to secure the? -adoption of the gold standard for the Islands, explaining that the present silver mone tary basis is responsible for the prevail ing commercial distress. The commercial men of Manila are very anxious for the gold standard. In lieu of the monetary standard that fluctuates with the rise and fall In the price of silver and with the abundance of that commodity as legal tender. Mr. Cameron Is also advocating the admission of Chinese to the islands. Unless Chinrso labor Is admitted, there is no promise Or hope of better conditions In the archipelago for years to come, says he. If Congress Is opposed to the unlim ited admission of Chinese, the islands would be content to admit the coolie la borers under contract for a term of three or four years, at the end of which time it is believed labor' conditions will have materially improved. Mr. Cameron says the reduction of 25 -per cent from existing tariff rates benefits neither the Philip pines nor the United States. Free trade is what is needed, and what must ulti mately come. The Statehood Situation. The statfthood situation in the Senate growcj more intrestlns as the session parses by. The friends of the three terri tories are determined to add three stars to the'fiag; the opponents of the omnibus bill are determined that, not over qne star shall be added, and preferably none. Were It not that the statehood fight is led by Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, aided by such able lieutenants as Elkins of West Virginia, and Burrows of Michigan, it would be safe to predict that the omnl buo bill must fall. Fall Is a word not known to Quay, however, and If possible he will not make Its acquaintance now. If a vote could be had today, the omnibus bill would pass, but by reason of having the solid Democratic vote of the Senate. Quay deslrco that It shall pass with at least a large proportion of the Republican votes. To this end a form of arbitration is being resorted to. Some of the friends of the territories opposed the Cuban reci procity bill last session. They now incline towards a Cuban treaty, but point out that they very much desire to see three new states created. There are other Sen-aton-? who are, above all else, anxious to secure a Cuban treaty. To such Senators it Is belngintimated that they can have a certain number of votes If they will vote for statehood for pklahoma. New Mexico and Arizona. To other Senators who pri marily desire the ratification of the Colom bian canal treaty, a similar representation Friendly and the other prominent gentle men," said he. The Guard man gave his iiame. The other begged him to state his mission in the city. Then the visions of prominence faded for certain. "I am Just a reporter on a Valley paper in to see the game." The light dawned and a pencil mark was made through the freshly jotted name. Then the partners in crime shook hands. IT may. be right and proper For a mail to give up his seat in the crowded car to a standing woman, but when another woman does the gallant act and offers her seat to one of her same sex, com plications sometimes follow. Witness the following incident on a crowded Washington-street car and the result: It was between 5 and 6 o'clock, and, as usual, the car was well filled, and all the seats were occupied by women, some young, some old, but ail women, neverthe less. When the car stopped at Thir teenth street, a middle-aged woman hoisted herself up the perpendicular steps of the convey ance and stepped in side. She reached for a hand strap, and stood there a few minutes, till the conductor got her They glared at each transfer, seemingly other, rather tired. Another woman, apparently about the same age as the standing one, jumped up and said: "Please take my seat" "No, no; I'm not at all tired. Its aw fully kind of you, but just sit still." "But you are tired, and you really ought to sit down. I haven't been doing a thing all day, and can Just as well stand." "I couldn't think of your getting up. Besides, I haven't far to go now, and you just keep still." "Now. don't Say anything more," per sisted the one that had the seat. "Be sides, I couldn't think of sitting when there was some one older th'an I stand ing." The woman hanging to the strap snort ' ed when the remark about her being the older of the two was made and smiled scornfully, her only remark being: "Oh, in that case you better remain seated." The car went on Its journey, and the two women glared at each other. THE democratic .habits and manner of Levi 'Ankeny, theW&Ua Walla million aire banker, farmer and candidate for the United States Senate, enable him to es cape much of the notoriety that is al ways one of the penalties of greatness. Ho generally travels "incog.," and his modest and unassuming manner never discloses his Identity as a man famous all over the Pacific Northwest. This char acteristic resulted in an amusing Incident up In . Whitman County last Sum mer.. Mr. Ankeny is a great hunter;, and annually spends con siderable time with dog and gun. Last August, when wheat and prairie chickens were ready for har vest, he -started across the country in quest of game. He owns a number of farms up In Whlt- "Oh, to hell with him. f man County, .and in the course of his trip wandered across one of them where threshing was in progress. The foreman was absent at the time, and the rest of the threshing ''crew were unacquainted with the wandering sportsman. Mr. An keny strolled over to the engineer and noticed that, while He had a straw-burning, engine, he was feeding the flames with a choice article of 60-cent bluestem wheat. "Is this not something unusual to burn wheat?" inquired the millionaire. "Well," said the engineer, "it Is not customary, but It makes a darn sight hotter fire than straw, and it is not- half as much work to feed her." "But," 'responded .Mr. Ankeny, "what docs the man who owns the wheat think about it?" "Oh, to hell with him," said the en gineer; "he's a rich old duffer down at Walla Walla, that's got both wheat and money to burn." Mr. Ankeny arose to the humor of the occasion and did not disclose his Identity, but when the foreman afterwards in formed the engineer who his Interrogator was, the man at the throttle pondered quite seriously "on the possibilities! for danger that lurk In conversations with strangers, . . rs .made. Natiirallyvthose Senators whd are 50 deeply interested in the Cuban and' the Colombian treaty will not accept any such proposition at this time, but If the end of the t?eas!on draw near anel they Arid themselves without votes to ratify their treaties, they are Very likely' to bow to the will of "Boss" Quay, If the success of their enterprises Is thereSy assured. The Plnce Was Promised. The -day before John Barrett was ap pointed Minister to Japan, the Washing ton papers printed stories Indicating his availability for the place, but intimated that the President had not yet made up his mind who should succeed- the late Minister Buck. The next morning -there wno a rush at the ,Whlte House. A num ber of Senators and Representatives who had able constituents out of a job pre sented themselves before the President and urged the appointment of their re spective favorites to this comfortable and very desirable office. Among them were Senators Perkins and Bard, of California, who desired the position for Dr. Chcotcr Rowell. Senator Burrows, of Michigan, had his man. Representatives from Cali fornia and Michigan reinforced all the good things said by their Senators, and a large number of other Congressmen from various states, all had a hearlng4 But as the subject was opened, the Pnoldent smiled blandly, as he informed each anx ious stateman in turn that the ofilco had been filled. As a matter df fact the Presi dent had some time ago given assurances that Barrett should, at the proper time, be appointed Minister to Japan. Barrett had made a strong plea for the Chinese M'fjslon, but the President could not see his way clear to give him the place which Minister Conger now fills. It was ex pected that Minister Buck would have re signed in another year or so, when Bar rett would have been given the appoint ment, that, in many ways, Is "Just as good" as that to China. No Senator or Representative mentioned Barrett's name to the President when the news of Min ister Buck's death was received. The President acted solely on recommenda tions laid before him a year or two ago, and on his own knowledge of Barrett. ROCKPILE A SUCCESS. Result of the First Year's Worlc Is Gratifying:. After a year's trial the police say that the city rockplle at First and Flanders streets has not only done more to scare the hobo element or "yegg" men out of Portland than any other plan that, has been tried, but the place has more than paid for the original cost of construction by the quantity of crushed rock turned out and used by the city to repair road waya Policemen Tlchenor and Hellyer are the guards, and every morning about 9 o'clock, except Sunday, they may be seen walking the rockplle gang down Second street to resume business with sledge hammers. When the rockplle was first started, un der the personal supervision of Policeman Warder, there were social economists In the city who feared that because men were set to. work splitting rocks, and because they had to walk publicly from the City Jail. along Second street to the rockplle, that they would become hardened and slowly develop Into professional criminals. It was argued that those men would be come so lost to good feeling that they would not care how often they were sent to work on the rockplle. But the result han been different. Once the real hobo splits rocks in Portland, he usually leaven town as soon as his sentence expires, and rarely' returns. Portland Is a "black" town to him. Before rockplle days this city was known ao a "snap," in hobo par lance, a sort of godd thing. "The police men are willing to arrest U3, throw us into 'jail," where It Is warm, and we. are sure of two square meals a day. Portland Is a good boarding-place for the Winter. Get into jail early and often," was. hobo reasoning. And the taxpaj'ers paid the bills. Eighteen prisoners worked on .the rock pile last Saturday, and the average attend arice for some time past has been' 15 pris oners per day. Rocks are mostly supplied by ship captains whosie vessels arrive hero in ballast, and the city supplies the sledge hammers. An awning extends overhead, and work goes on In warm and wet weath er until 3 o'clock every week day. and then all hands go back to jail again for dinner. An obstinate prisoner who refuses to split rocks Is rarely met with. He Is usually convinced of his error by his fellow-prisoners before the march to the rockplle commences. "Do as we do, . or It will be the worse for you," Is the burden of their advice. But not very long ago a new hobo thought he knew a. good deal about what he ought not to do if he could sneak .out of it, and when, he was marched to the rockplle he stood still, while the other prisoners began to swing their sledge-hammers. "Take up a sledge and go to work on those rocks," said a policeman, sternly. "I won't," -said the new hobo, grinning, and he. became abusive. "I give you two minutes to get to work," returned the big policeman. Still the hobo remained obdurate. Suddenly he found himself seized with no friendly grasp, arid he tried to make a physical objection. . But alas! the policeman was bigger and strong er than he. and amid the rude laughter of the "gang" the new hobo was treated to a dose of spread eagle. That Is, his hands, tied at the wrists, were attached to an iron staple above his head, and he was fastened to a tall pole. For the first 10 minutes he thought it great fun. but a shower of jeering remarjto came from the other prisoners, and - these stung worse than his bonds. Then his arms began to ache, and when about half an hour had passed there was a very abject hobo, who said: "Mr. Policeman, I apologize. Take me away from this po3t and I'll split rocks." He was tamed. Usually a person convicted of drunken ness at the Municipal Court is fined $3 for the offense, and If he can't pay the fine he Is compelled to serve 2& days on the rockplle. unless he is an old, infirm man.

Still the slimy creatures managed to get away and were found scouring the open country with all the joyous abandon of acquired freedom. After patient research, declares the Re vue Sclentlflqup, and this is the part, of the story which is to be most unfeignedly believed, it was found that one accommo dating snail would blot himself like a swallow's nest under the ledge, while all those whp were desirous of escaping crawled over Ms shell, and thus reached the edge of tte ledge and liberty.

Frank L. BroWn, vice-president and treasv.ror of the National Steel & Wire Company, who Is also" Interested in PorU land street railways, In writing to a friend In this city, speaks of the trade bearing of the Isthmian canal upon the Pacific Slope as follows r VI have spent the last two ycam among the manufacturing distflcte In the East, making a careful study of the situation, and I am firmly impressed with the con-? viction that the future great growth and development of our Pacific Coast States, as regards 'population; wealth and com merce, Is dependent In large measure upon the development of manufacturing In dustries. -"The Pacific Coast cannot hope to. com pete an jobbers with the trade of the Orient and the countries of the Pacific, because, when the Panama Canal, or Nicaragua Canal. Jo completed, ships will leave tho Atlantic porta laden with the manufactured products of. the Atlantic Coast cities, and will riot break bulk at the Pacific Coast cities, but will go through directly from Eastern ports to Asiatic ports, thus ehuttlng out the Pacific Coast cities as Jobblng .centers iri compe tition with the Eaot, as the rates, .of freight from the East to the Asiatic ports via the canal will be but little. If any, greater than from the Pacific Coast ports, and the length of time consumed lh transit will not be very much greater. Therefore, If the Pacific Coast W to hold Its own in competition for the trade of the Orient arid the countries of the Pacific, it must be on goods produced on the Pacific Coast. "Of course, when it. comes to our agri cultural products, su'ch as wheat, flour and other cereals, our lumber, fishing arid canned fruits, etc., we can hope for a con trol -of the trade, because .of our nearness In point of shipment, and the superior ex cellence of our producto; but In the line of commerce or trade where the raw products are converted into the finished articles, the completion of a canal will-shut out the Pacific Coast cities lh large measure from the export trade, as It does not stand to reason that the jobbers or merchants of the Pacific Coast cities can ship the man ufactured goods from the East t; the Pacific Coaot. cities, break bulk, and then rcshlp them and rehandle. them In a. retail way to the dealers or consumers of the foreign countries to be reached from .this Coast, in competition with, the Eastern manufacturer, who will be able to ehlr directly from the Atlantic ports to the ports of the Orient at almost as low a rate of freight and almcst as quick de livery as can be made to the Pacific Coast cities in the flrot Instance; therefore, the hope of the Pacific Goast iri competing for the trade of the Orient on manufactured articles must Ho in tne making of the articles here on thd Coast. In the doing of this We also furnlah a. homo market for our agricultural products, thus realizing for the farmer a higher price than, if the products must be shipped long distances to other domestic or foreign markets ant otand the 'loss of- freight". "A. study of the industrial conditions in the East convlncco mc that the great growth of population and wealth of tho Atlantic Coast arid, f the Middle West, and around the shores of the Great Lakes, has resulted very largely from the devel opment of the manufacturing Industries, and that those of us who ate hopeful and sanguine of the great future destiny arid growth of the Pacific Coaot States must lend a hand wherever we can to develop Its manufacturing Industries. "We are, of course, necessarily obliged to start all these enterprises In a small way, so as not to make more goods in any line than the local trade can absorb, grad ually growing Into larger things as the home market lncfeascn and the foreign markets are developed. t "This has been the secret of the succe33 and growth of the great manufacturing Industries in the Bast, and with the cheap power that the Pacific Coast now produces from oil and electricity, 'arid the' wealth of natural resources posseroed by this country, with the greater climatic advant ages, which promise's a larger output per man than in the East jot Middle Western States, leado me to believe thrjt the Pacific Coast can and "will produce a large portion of the manufactured articles tht are consumed in , our home markets, as well as a goodly portion of the foreign trade that will gradually oe developed from the countrlro of the Pacific bordering upon this, great ocean. "Of eo::re I know very well that there are manv local handicaps in the way of freight conditions, the present nccessitj' of the transcontinental roads to carry the manufactured products from thfc Eaot to the Western Cpast In order that they may get the cars out here to carry our fruits, lumber, shingles, etc.. frorn the Pacific Coast States to the Eistern markets. All these and other unfavor able conditions must be somehow met and successfully overcome before our Pacific Coat States will have the great population and wealth that our physical conditions and natural resources and geographical location entitle us to. "I do not wish you to think that, In the suggestions I have made in reference to the disadvantages resulting to this Ccast from the completion of an Isthmus Canal, thereby entailing loss upon uo of our foreign Jobbing trade, they will not be' more than offset by the advantages accruing, to the Pacific Const from a cheap rrite of .freight by the water route from the Pacific Coast cities for the prducts of the Pacific Cosfit States to the great con sUmlng Atlantic Cpast." HUSTLE IS WATCHWORD St. Martha the Patron Saint of Mod ern Women- and St. Vitus of Men. New York Tribune. "Saint Martha Is practically the patron saint of the women of today, and St. Vitus of the men," said the Rev. Mr. Batten, of Morristown.. N. J., Ih addressing' the New York state conference of religions. His subject was, "The Religious Disadvantages of the Existing Economic Order." " "Hustle is. tho watchward and 'Grab the battlecry. Therejis nd time for Ideals. They can't be coined.- And as a flnal test everything Is lined up to the dollar mark. "To hear some people talk one would think jthat Individual initiative could, un aided, transform, a Hottentot into a Shake speare In a 3lngle lifetime.. But th03e who preach this most loudly are; usually, those who have had the most circumstantial as sistance In their careers. This man who has won his goal unaided has little to say of the.advantages of a single-handed flgh't The horrors of the struggle "nre still Upon him. He has strength to share with a weaker brother, but riot a breath to boast with. Why, to tell :a man to rise above his environments is practically to ask him to rise out of his personality. But thkt Ts what the churches may be ch'arged with doing if they plead for a spiritual life and let economic questions take care of them selves. It Js not .a question of whether our people will or may serve God and Mammon; It Is a fact that they can't. Why, I have known the time .when two thirds of my congregation; wcr.e out of work.

'I canft run my mill by the Golden Rule, a mill owner frankly told me, 'for no one else does, "and I would starve In a year.' These are the economic, conditions of the mo ment, and shall we ministers confine our selves to reiteration of platitudes or go to work and get mills and factories and shoe shop3a'rtd dcpartriient stores of our own and prove, our faith by our works?

Recently the iola Register gave a, terrible roast to a . "men-only" show which is tour ing Southern Kansas, declaring among other thlng3 that the women connected with, it wore hags. The result Is recounted as follows: "This forenoon . the manager called, and with many and varied oaths offered to whip the whole ofllce. He nays he has a $100,000 performance, composed ,of ladles and gentlemen. He said It was not an Im moral show, and he said a whole lot more things. That was bad enough, but after dinner all the ladies of the chorus called, and the reporter throws up his hands. "TheL flrnt caller was armed with a mar riage certificate .as proof of her claim to consideration. She talked Very reasonably, and the ljttle matter wns being settled amicably when the other soven came In. "'Are wehags?' came an Indignant chorus. And then each lht her own way and jn her own language began telling the reporter what a donkey he Is. There was nothing tO' do but stand and listen. They went over the ground of the girl making an honest living and her right to respect, of past records as shown by newspapers, and they demanded a correction. "Here itjs. The ladies are certainly not hags, and ip truth are a very good-looking grorip, appearing in street costume much better thah they do on the stage. As to their names, their past, arid their future, the Register .does not pretehd to speak, for it is absolutely Ignorant, but It Is certain today that they are not 'hags. "With a lawsuit, a libel suit, a head punching and a seven-handed street-lashing In prospect, there Is no question about the reporter's abject humfilty. He Is In a blue funk, and admits it. It is hoped that settles it so far as the afternoon visitors am rnnerrfed." . k Those Pale Girls How many pale .girls there are ! Girls who have tho will, but riot the power to bring out their' vitality. Doctors call it apaemia, which means poor blood. They are thin, delicate and nervous. Their digestion is Usually poor, the appetite not all that it should be and they do not even get all the nourishment that is in the food ' that they do eat. They linger between strength and weakness with no cer tainty as. to what change a day wjll bring forth. Scotl's Emulsion is for all such giHs. ; The hypophos phites combined with the cod liver oil will tone up the sys tem, give the blood new -life, improve the appetite and help digestion. Above, all.it gives nourishment. ' ..Girls are more liable to. anaemia than boys; this is because the blood of women contains fewer red corpuscles, more water and less albumen and salts thah the blood of men. Scott's Emulsion seems to be the very thing to dis count -these differences. It helps all pale, thin girls when nothing else will. Well send yciii a sample free upon request.
