THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MOjSTDAY, JANUARY 5, 1903. .3 NEW YORK'S LEADER Will Odell Take Control From - Piatt? WOULD MEAN PARTY v SPLIT Each Knows Other's Power and Will Prolmbly Respect" It Governor 31ny Succeed Bcpew an Senator Presidential Aspirations. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington. Jan. 4. The relations between Sen ator Piatt and Governor Odell, of New York, hRve come in for a good deal of discussion during the past few weeks. The assertion is positively made that Odell intends to take the leadership of the New York Republicans away from Piatt, in whom It has reposed for so many years. How true this is no one can sny, but the further declaration is positively made In some papers that Odell has his war paint on, and means business. Piatt has been quoted several times to the ef fect that Odell is entitled to the leader ship "if he can take It." This much is certain Piatt knows Odell's power, as was shown at the State convention last fall. In fact the strength of the Piatt machine hsa been in the ehrcwd manage ment which Odell has given it for many years as chairman of the State commit tee. Xot Muclt In It. The fact is these two politicians are not going to light very hard, because it would mean a .split in the party. Piatt has still immense strength throughout the State, and .especially among the capitalistic element in New York City. While Odell might be able to wrest the management of affaire from him, the probabilities are that they will reach some middle basis of agreement. Piatt will be the nominal lead er, while Odell does the actual work. Piatt will go to the Senate and Odell will manage State affairs, and after the end of his term he may succeed Depew In the Senate. Odell of course has higher ambi tions and is looking towards the Presi dential nomination at some future time. Piatt would probably rather have Odell successful in these various ambitions than almost any other man. Of course if the fight is on in earnest, then he might have different Ideas; but It looks very much as If the contest was largely In the newspapers rather than between these two politicians that are struggling lor control in New York. Tlie Philadelphia Mayoralty. A few men got together In Philadelphia the other day and announced that Dis trict Attorney Weaver would be nominated and would accept the nomination for May or of Philadelphia. We have heard of boeslsm In other communities, but Tam many never made any nominations in as quiet a way as was this selection of Weaver for Mayor of a great city. Dick Croker never dictated more quietly the selection of a candidate for Mayor of New York than has the ring in Philadelphia in this case of Weaver. No doubt the man selected le a very good one. He has made a pretty good record, and he ought to be far more successful as Mayor than Ashbrldge, whom he succeeds. The only disagreeable feature about it is the fact that two or three men can say who will govern the third city in the land. Maohlne politics has reached the acme of per fection when this sort of a nomination can bo made. Aicnln the Xesrro Question-. Considerable stress has been laid upon the fact that James S. Clarkson, late Na tional Committeeman of Iowa, and now a Federal officeholder in New York City, is devoting agreat deal of time to look ing after conditions in the South. There seems to he no question but what Clark son Is looking after Southern delegates, and the Southern delegates certainly need looking after up to the time they cast their votes for a Presidential candidate. The Southern man in politics, outside of a few districts, is simply a Federal office man. The negroes are entirely such. Tlie 56th Congress saw the last negro in the House, probably for many years to corns. No negro was elected to the 57th Congress, and none to the 5Sth. The black man as an elective officeholder in the Nation Is eliminated. His strong point seems to be in office holding. The attempt to build up a white Republican party in the. South has been frustrated by the President de claring that no color line, shall be drawn in the matter of Federal patronage, and he has shown his dislike for any such organization by removing from office men that were engaged In It. and filling their places with negroes. The negro Repub lican party In the South will never amount to anything, and never accomplish any thing, save at National conventions, wnere the votes can be used, for it is not likely that the negroes will ever control a State again. The negro vote in border and Northern States Is very important, how ever, and statistics have recently been published to show that Maryland, West Virginia, Delaware, New York, Indiana and some other States contain enough ne gro votes to change the result In those States, should they be cast against In stead of for the Republican nartv. Tn Maryland the negro vote is not cast under the present Gorman law to any great ex tent, although those who do vote generally vote the ReDUbliean tlrkpt. Tn nMawsr the negro vote has cut a considerable fig ure, and is a part of the corruption which has made that State infamous. A number of Congressional districts would no doubt have gone Democratic if the negro vote had been cast for the Democrats, and based upon the statistics produced the elimination of the negro vote in a. number of States would possibly have made the next House Democratic, or at least much closer. At the same time the colored vote is growing to be less and less a factor in the actual voting strength of the coun try, but it is an important vote at Na tional conventions. Cuban Treaty LcRlKlntloji. It is no longer probable that there will be a contest between the Senate and House over the question of whether the Irwer body shall have an opportunity to pass on the Cuban reciprocity treaty. There has been considerable friction be tween the two houses on this subject, the Senate and the President holding that they were the treaty-making power, and that the House should have no hand in ratifying a treaty. The House claimed that under the Constitution all revenue legislation had to originate in the House, and further claimed that the Cuban treaty was nothing more nor less than a reve nue measure; therefore the House had a right to pass upon it. Under the compro mise plan, which has the approval of the President, the Senate alone will deal with the Cuban treaty and ratify it. As soon as this Is done the President will sena a special message to both branches of Con gress, announcing the ratification of the treaty and asking Congress to pass sup plementary legislation to carry out the provisions of the treaty. Such legislation will originate in the House, ns it afreets the revenues. It has been demonstrated to the committee of the House that the treaty Is not really legislation, but that the subsequent action to be asked for by the President comes within that classi fication. Chinese Exclnnlon. Secretary Shaw has asked Congress for authority to apply the Bertillon system of measurement to all Chinese who 'go back to China from the United States, and who are granted authority to return to this country within the stipulated time. He finds, or rather the exclusion authori ties report, that the present system of identification by photograph is not 'ade quate, as there Is a jgreat similarity among Mongolians not readily detected by the American authorities. Under the pre- vailing practice many Chinamen return to their native land, decide that they will not come back to the United States, and then sell their identification papers to an agent or a coolie direct. So closely does the description of one fit the other that many of the restricted class are believed to be admitted to this country every year In this way. The Secretary blleves that If the system of measurement now applied by the police to all criminals was adopted with regard to Chinese, fraudulent cases could be readily detected. In fact. It is believed a good purpose would be served if all Chinese In the country were required to submit themselves to meas urement by the Bertillon system for their more adequate identification. It is quite possible that the first request may be granted, and possibly the suggestion as a whole will be adopted. A prominent commercial and mining ex pert of Mexico, when In Washington the other day, predicted that sooner or later the Republic of Mexico must get on a gold basis. "There Is much diversity of opinion regarding any change from the present financial system," said he. "The mining and smelting people and the plant ers do not want to see sih'er superseded; the railroad corporations and high gov ernment officials would prefer the gold basis. The employers of labor In the mines and mills and on the farms are op posed to any change, because they would have to pay more to their workmen. The railroads and the government have tc meet interest obligations in gold, and their revenues do not pan out when silver keeps falling, as It has of late. There has been a loss of 10 per cent In that metal within a year, and further decline seems inevit able." Rural f reo delivers Is doing more for the business interests of the country than any other branch of the postal service at this time. And solely because it is to the advantage of the Government that this assistance shall be lent to commercial companies, as the sen-ice In return re ceives a corresponding benefit derived from increased postal revenue. Since many fourth-class postofflces havo been superseded by rural free delivery, mer chants In the larger cities. Instead of writing to Postmasters for the names of patrons of their offices to whom they can send advertisements, have been enabled, under an order of the department, to pro cure from all postofflces from which rural routes start a full list of all persons served on such routes. These lists are official, and therefore correct. Under this ar rangement merchants are sending more advertising through the mall to rural dis tricts than ever before, and there has been a corresponding increase in merchan dise sent by mail, from all of which the Government benefits by Increased reve nues from stamp sales. AN IRISH LAND REPORT. Recommend Settlement Between Owners and Occupiers. LONDON. Jan. 4. The Irish land con ference issued a voluminous report of Its deliberations in which It is declared that the only satisfactory settlement of the existing land question is the substitution of an occupying proprietary ownership of land for tlie existing dual ownership. As the process of direct state Interference in purchase and resale would be generally tedious and unsatisfactory, except where 'owners or half occuplors so desire, and except in those districts under the con gested districts board, the report rec ommends that the settlement should be made between tlie owner and the occu pier subject to the necessary investiga tion by the state as to title, rent and se curity. The report emphasizes the desirability of inducing landlords to continue to reside in Ireland and with this purpose in view it says an equitable price should be paid to owners, based upon income, and that provision ought to be made for the resale to owners of mansion houses and de mesnes. The purchase price should either be assurance by the state of such income, or the" payment of a capital sum produc ing it, at 3 per cent or 3Vi per cent. If guaranteed by the state tenants' repay ments should be expended for a term of years, securing a reduction of 15 to 25 per cent on rents. To do this may Involve some assurance from the state beyond the use of its credit and the report considers that such assistance would be justified fully !n the future welfare of Ireland and the settlement of this vexed problem. The report offers no definite financial proposition but it considers that an un exampled opportunity exists at the pres ent moment to deal with this question successfully. It declares also that the so lution of the land question should he ac companied by a settlement of the evicted tenants' question under an equitable basis. Captain Shawe-Taylor, secretary of the conference, left here today for the United States on board the Cunard line steamer Ivernla. He soes to America to ascer tain the views of President Roosevelt and other prominent Americans on the land question. In an Interview before leaving Captain Shawe-Taylor said: "The government now for the first time has before it a practical solution of this question acceptable to both land owners and occupiers and it would- be a national calamity if, while a truce exists between the two parties, this unique opportunity is allowed to pass." London Papers Indorse It. IXJNDON, Jan. 5. The report; of the Irish land conference Is met on all sides this morning as an encouraging docu ment, as indicating that the problem is ripe for solution. It also Is said to give valuable suggestions to Chief Secretary for Ireland Wyndham for the projected land bill. The government organs, while pointing out that the conference does not represent many of the great landlordi. commend the tone and the disposition of the conference as revealed in Its report ns very hopeful for the future of Ireland. These papers contend that the report In volves the complete repudiation of -the whole Gladstonian policy of land, namely, dual ownership. FREXCII SENATORIAL ELECTIONS. There Was No Excitement Mlnlate rlal Mnjority Strenfjtliened. PARIS, Jan. 4. Senatorial elections were held today In S4 departments of France, Algeria and in the Colonies of La Reunion and Guadaloupe to select 9S Sen ators, of whom 94. will fill seats tlie terms of whose occupants have consti tutionally expired, while the other four will fill vacancies caused by deaths. The elections passed off without incident. The results have confirmed the general ex- twfttlnn . that thft Ministerial mninrlM. i.. the upper house will be strengthened. Tno Conservatives have elected five Pro gressive Republicans, the Liberals have elected 25 Republicans, IS Radicals and 34 Radical Socialists. Final returns from some seats In France and the colonies have not been received. Premier Combes has been re elected from the Departmnt of Charant Inferieure He also was returned from Corca. where he was only nominated Sat urday. Finance Minister Rouvler was elected in the Department of Alps-Marl-times. He thus passes from the Chamber of Deputies to the Senate. M. Combes and M. Rouvler are the only two Minis ters who were candidates. The only other noteworthy result of the elections was the defeat of ex-MInlster of Foreign Af fairs., Hanotaux. in the Department of Alsne. Of the candidates elected today, SS already were members of the Senate; the others are Deputies, ex-Deputies or new men. The Ministry of the Interior assorts that the government .gained 15 and lost two, a net gain of 13 seats in today's elections. Golnjr to Memphis r Before starting call up O.

TJ T-TTITJ T"l 1,TT? mV Tl T. niF.I1 I 0548 MILES. Larger Than Any Previous Year Since 1S90 Pew Rondit Embar rassed New Rolling Stoclc. CHICAGO, Jan. 4. Six months ago.when the Railway Age published Its summary of railroad-building for the first half of 1992. It appeared evident that the new mileage for the entire year would' exceed G000 miles, but the Incessant rains during July and August, and In some portions of the country during September and Oc tober, seriously Interfered with grading and tracklaylng, and the delays thus en countered, coupled with the difficulty so widely experlencca ot securing rails, nave prevented the realization of our expecta tions. However, the new mileage com pleted during 1002 exceeds that of 1501, when 5222 miles of track were laid, and is greater than that of any year since 1SD0, when 5C70 mlJes were built. The re turns for the year just ended are still In complete, and when they are all received it is quite possible that the figures for 1S90 will be eclipsed. As the record stands to day, It shows a total of 5519 miles of track laid on 341) lines In 44 states and territories from January 1 to December 31. 1502, ex clusive of second track and sidings and without taking Into consideration many private lines and logging roads which have been built for temporary use. The details are shown In the following table, which gives the mileage by states: No. States. Lines. Miles.

The greater part of the work of the past year has been carried on by the largo systems, which continue to build branch lines Into new and undeveloped territory, and there has been little parallel building, one notable exception being the Chicago Great Western, which has completed 66V miles of Its 130-mIIe extension from Fort Dodge, la., to Omaha. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific system. Including- the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf and other ac quired lines, has expanded most by con struction, and has added 626 miles in Oklahoma, Indian Territory, New Mexico, Texas, Missouri and Arkansas. The St. Louis & San Francisco and allied lines have built 609 miles In Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Indian Territory and Oklahoma, and the Santa Fe system has completed 1S5 miles in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Indian Territory and Oklahoma. Some of the other large systems have built new lines as follows: Great Northern, 194 miles in Minnesota, North Dakota and Wash ington, not counting the extensions built In Canada; the Southern Pacific, 165 miles in Louisiana, Texas, Nevada, California and Utah; International &. Great North ern, 129 miles in Texas; Chicago Great Western, 112 miles In Minnesota and Iowa, Chicago & Northwestern, Including the Chicago, SC Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha and the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val ley, 173 miles in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, 95 miles in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Da kota; Illinois Central, 74 miles In Missis sippi, Kentucky and Illinois; Missouri, Kansas & Texas, SO miles in Kansas, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Missouri; Texas & Pacific, 63 miles In Louisiana; Missouri Pacific, 137 miles in Louisiana, Missouri and Arkansas; Oregon Short Line, 58 miles in Utah. Important new lines which do not seem to be Identified with any of the great sys tems havo laid track as follows: El Paso & Southwestern, 161 miles In New Mexico, Arizona and Texas; Ozark and Cherokee Central, 132 miles in Arkansas and Indian Territory; Fort Smith & Western, 56 miles in Indian Territory: St. Louis Valley, 100 miles In Illinois; Iowa & St. Louis, 60 miles in Iowa and Missouri; Des Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern, 53 miles In Iowa. The two important independent lines which have a large projected mileage each the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake and the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient have accomplished but little In the way of tracklaylng, the former having completed but 31 miles in California, and the latter but 40 miles In Kansas and Oklahoma and 2S miles In Mexico. However, the Orient lino has finished a large percentage of Its grading, and proposes to push the work of tracklaylng early In the year. The main line mileage of the United States at the close of 1501 was 19S.7S7 miles, and the addition of the 5549 miles com pleted In 1902 brings the total mileage of the country up to 201,336 miles on January 1, 1903. Receiverships and Foreclosures. The low-water mark of railway bank ruptcies, which was reached In 1&0L when only four receivers were appointed, has scarcely been raised during the past year. only five companies being placed under receivership on account of Insolvency In 1902, and these succumbing to difficulties of long standing. No road of any Import ance has failed to meet Its obligations. The little New York & Pennsylvania. 53 miles, was put through the. reorganizing processes of receivership and foreclosure In three months, with great financial Im provement; the Chicago & Southwestern, which had been In a chronic state of lm pecunloslty for years, has been bought by a strong company and placed under a re ceiver for the purpose of straightening out the title; and the three other little' roads In the list had never been successful. The record of mileage and obligations Is as follows: Woftiaiaai & K ingf FINE DAINTY GARMENTS AND LOW PRICES IN OUR UNDER-MUSUW DEPARTMENT Second Week of Out 25th.

Han Hon. AV. A. Wcnck Actually Cap tured, the Original Octouu? New York Sun. In Bay Adam, an inlet of the Gulf on the lower coast of Louisiana, they think thei- have caught the real original roon- I ster Octopus and Head Devil Fish. The Hon. William A. Wenck and a party were fishing from an electric launch the other day. Mr. Howe, of St. Louis, a guest of Mr. Wenck, had his line rigged for tarpon. There came from the deep a pull on that line as If leviathan and behemoth were having a tug-of-wir. Mr. Wenck sprang to Mr. Howe's relief. After a fierce strug gle they plumped upon the deck something Hgc Cerberus, three gentlemen at once. From the still too Imperfect accounts given by the New Orleans lcthyologlsts we compile an inventory -of this bathblan buster's charms: "Body: Black, batlike. Wings: Black, batty (1. e., we suppose, 'bughouse, 'nut ty,' 'dotty,' 'wiggy'). Also showing faint polka dots of bluelsh hue, 1. e., polka dot. ty. Head: Turtle-like.

When caught a number of small fish were founa 3pitted to this sting or dagger, as liver and bacon is spitted with a stick. It Is presumed that the monster was keeping them there until he became hungry enough to eat them, for he really did not bite on the line, but? was hooked by accident In the top of the head." The tongue was "three inches long, as hard as flint and fitted against a similar hard substance in the upper part of the mouth." Thus this Turtlcbat "ground fish or oysters Into line fragments." By the commotion of tho motion of the compress of the upper jaw and tongue he scares the little fish until they can't move and be come his easy prey. At least, such Is the theory of spmc scientists. The weight of this maximlliiry motor Is 100 pounds. Tho New Orleans Times-Democrat says that the mysterious entity which we have so far called the turtlcbat Is not a devil Hah. but "likely the hortigabulus spqmentl mentioned by Aristotle." The horflgabulus spumentl is not mentioned by Aristotle, but by Pliny, who describes him as a na tive of White Plains (Camp Albi). ind living entirely upon spirits frumenti. Nor is there any truth In the suggestion that the Bay Adam spechnen is the "goggle eyed flip-flapper described by Sir John Mandevllle, which Is found only on the outer edge of the Antarctic ocean, and feeds on horos-chestnuts and prepared chalk."
