THE MORNING OREGOItAN, MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1903.
STILL MUCH MIXED
Washington Senatorial Situa
tion Rather Chaotic.
SEATTLE - PRESTON - M'BRIDE
Hard to Get Tliene Intercuts TOfireth
cr Ankeny Stnndu to Guln by
Brenlc-Up of Klnj? County
Force County Bill.
OLTMPIA, "Wash., Jan. lS.(-Staff' Cor
respondence.) The absentees who rushed
back to Olympla on the early trains to
day undor the imprefwlon that there would
be something; doing were disappointed,
and not until the arrival of the evening
train from Seattle did the lobby at the
hotel hold, more than a corporal's jruard.
"Wilson and Ankeny both spent Sunday
out of the city, but 3Ir. Preston remained
In Olympla and he, as well as his lieuten
ants, put In the day resting after the
struggle of last week and In anticipation
of the strenuouo times that are due within
the next 4S hours. The third house re
ceived a number of recruits tonight, each
of tho different factions being well repre
sented among the new arrivals. Thore Is
little change In the Senatorial situation
and the managers of the opposing candi
dates have In a measure relaxed their ef
forts until Tuesday' vote shall disclose
the exact strength of each of the aspir
ants. Seattle is coming down In force tomor
row and Tuesday, for the purpose of bol
stering up the candidacy of Harold Pres
ton. The effort will hardly be as spectac
ular Q thift which was made in behalf of
Mayor Humes four years ago, but It will
be on the same lines, and is expected to
solidify the King county delegation, so
that there will be no more talk of weak
ness regarding their support of Preston.
Ostensibly Seattle will, make this spec
tacular play In the interest of Preston,
but In reality It Is a move In favor of the
McBride commission bill, for before King
county can be In a position to do anything
for Proston she must line up solid on the
McBride bill. The sentiment of Seattle, as
Is well known, is overwhelmingly against
the commission bill, and the fact that the
delegation must help pass the bill or give
up all hope of electing Preston is placing
the King county men In a position that la
anything but pleasant. The Preston men
claim that the personality of their chief
and the ardent desire of Seattle for direct
representation in the United States Senate
will overcome the feeling against a rail
road commlssipn bill and carry Preston to
victory. It Is perhaps needless to state
that the Ankeny men ridicule such claims.
Meanwhile John L. Wilson has been
quietly working to strengthen his forces,
and now expects to show 12 to 18 votes on
the first ballot, with at least two condi
tional votes which he may secure later.
He frankly admits that under present cir
cumstances neither Preston nor himself
can be elected, but seems to find consola
tion In tho belief that no one else can
land1 the prize.
As matters now stand, the 23 votes tied
up In an anti-caucus agreement hold the
key to tho situation. Among the xotes
In that aggregation are enough Ankeny
men to elect the "Walla "Walla statesman
whenever his Influence shall be thrown to
the passage of the railroad commission
bill. But by force of circumstances or
an unkind fate, Ankeny's candidacy has
become almost as closely entwined with
the fight for the railroads as Preston's
candidacy has with the McBride fight
against them. The fight, If prolonged for
a number of weeks, will seriously inter
fere with much Important legislation.
County division bills are more numerous
than ever before this. There is enough
politics in ever one of these measures
to have some bearing on the Senatorial
fight. Tide lands and fish trap bills and
appropriation bills are also being dis
cussed -as trading stock In the Senatorial
and railroad fight
The latest candidate mentioned for a
share of the scattering vote on Tuesday is
Judge Fullerton. It is probable that ho
will receive two or three votes from some
of the east-of-the-mountaln members
who have not yet made a final choice. As
stated in yesterday's Oregonlan. John B.
Allen will also receive a few votes on the
first ballot. "While as yet he is not con
sidered as a serious possibility, rumors
Jkvo been heard of his adoption by the
King,, County delegation in case they find
It Impossible to win out with Preston. It
"would be a very difficult matter to do
anything with a new King County candi
date at this late hour, for John I "Wilson
is lying back ready to appropriate a share
of that vote when the break-up occurs
and unless there Is a radical change In
he situation Ankeny would pull enough
votes out of the wreck to elect himself
Vlth ease.
GERMAN BOURSE BETTER
United States Demand for Coal Helps
That Country.
BERLIN, Jan. 18. The bourse showed
several strong features last week. "While
the market was disappointed over Fi
nance Minister Rhelnbeben's pessimistic
utterances on the business stluatlon and
the lower estimates in the Prussian bud
get for railroad supplies than were ex
pected, values were generally well main
tained. The most striking feature of the
week was the recovery In the shares of
ocean navigation companies upon the an
nouncement that the dividend of the Ham-burg-American
Steam Packet Company
would reach 4V per cent as against 6 per
pent last year, whereas operators had ex
pected a dividend of only 3 per cent. The
statement Issued by the Hamburg Com
pany that the outward freight market had
greatly improved through heavy ship
ments to the United States also aided
the recovery, The foregoing announce
ment carried the shares of all ocean nav
igation companies up strongly.
The second feature of the market was
the strength of coal shares as a result, of
the coal scarcity In the United States, the
abolition of the coal duty In that country
and" the large shipments of English coal
to the United States, operators arguing
that there will be an increased demand
for German coal as a. result of this diver
sion of the English surplus.
Irons barely held their own. Other In
dustrials were firm. Money rose moderate
ly the middle of the week. Foreign ex
change Is firm.
London Exchnnpe Featureless.
LONDON, Jan. IS. Business during the
past week on the Stock Exchange was
without feature, with the exception of
Kaffirs, which were generally firm on re
ports of the settlement of the loans and
the war contribution. Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's official announcement at
a banquet last night at Johannesburg
changes the figures of the government loan
by 5,000,000 and brings the total up to
63,000.000. Consols have weakened slight
ly in anticipation of this loan.
The Interest In the American depart
ment centered on Erie's rumors, denials
apparently not deterring speculators. The
remainder of the American list was Irreg
ular, although Saturday's closing showed
strength, pointing, it Is thought, to the ar
rival of gold from New York.
The foreign exchange market was dull
but with a tendency to Improve. Money
remains scarce and Is likely to continue
so until the end of the financial year.
ABRAM S. HEWITT DEAD.
Aged Xevr Yorker Suecnmbs to Ob
structive Jaundice.
NEW YORK. Jan. IS. Abram S. Hewitt.

his three sons and three daughters.
Mr. Hewitt, who has been In feeble
health for some months, was attacked
with obstructive Jaundice on January 8,
and from the first It waa realized by his
attending physicians, Dr. Keyes and Dr.
Keyes, Jr., that there was practically no
hope for the aged patient's recovery. On
the following Sunday It was thought that
Mr. Hewitt could not survive the night,
and the members of his family were sum
moned to his bedside, but his vitality kept
him alive for a week longer. On Thurs
day Mr. Hewitt rallied so strongly that
some hope was entertained that he might
recover, but on the following, night a re
lapse occurred and It was then evident
that the end was not far off. A slight
improvement was noted on Saturday
morning, but late that night the physi
cians notified Mr. Hewitt's brother, H.
Cooper Hewitt, that death was imminent,
and the other children, Edward R. Hewitt,
Ersklne Hewitt, Mrs. J. O. Green. Miss
Sarah Hewitt and MIsa Elennor Hewitt,
were summoned, and with their mother
remained by the bedride until the end.
The funeral services, which will be con
ducted by Bishop Potter, will be held In
Calvary Church, of which Mr. Hewitt was
a member, on Wednesday.

SOUTH AFRICAN TAXATION
SECRETARY CHA3IBERLAIX OUT
LINES HIS VIEWS OF IT.
Better to Make Immediate Levy
Than Place Burden on Coming:
Generations Knflir Problem.
JOHANNESBURG. Jan. IS. In the
course of his remarks at the banquet
given here In honor of Secretary Cham
berlain. In the historic Wanderers' Hall,
Mr. Chamberlain explained at length the
details of the financial settlements with
the new colonies. The principal features
of this settlement were announced by the
Associated Press January 13.
According to further reports of tho
Colonial Secretary's speech, he said, after
expressing- the hope taat the colonies
would deal with the matter in a manner
looking to the Intercut of the whole of
South Africa and the empire, that all his
information led him to believe that the
Boers were settling down to reclaim their
possessions and repair the damages of the
war with the patience of their race. He
painted In glowing colors the promising
prospects of the colonies when develop
ment shall have reduced the cost of living
and when race prejudice shall have died
out.
Referring to the position of the people
of Johannesburg, Mr. Chamberlain said
they should no longer be reproached with
being cosmopolitan money-seekers, who
did not aspire to settle In the country. He
explained that It had been his Idea to ask
for a much larger sum than anything yet
mentioned, but on a plan of yearly contri
butions from trarpluses and new sources of
revenue. He said It "had been represented
to him, however, that this plan might be
come a burden on the new generation, who
might regard it under the odious name of
"tribute to the mother country." Tnus it
might sow the seeds of dissension and dis
union and cause great damage. He felt
the force of these arguments, and he
therefore sought Instead to secure Imme
diate settlement Thi6, after much discus
sion, had been obtained in a form accept
able to His Majesty's government.
Referring to the details of the financial
proposal, the Secretary said It must be
borne In mind that all the propositions
hung together, that one part could not be
separated from another. There waa no
doubt In his own mind or among those
whom ho had consulted that the revenues
of the Transvaal would be ample to pro
vide a service debt. The action of a num
ber of South African financiers In sub
scribing the first f50.000.000 without com
mission or any preferential security for
the remainder of the loan had rendered
the success of the loan on the London
market quite certain. He believed the
people of the mother country would accept
the war contributions as adequate and lib
eral recognition of the Transvaal's duty to
the empire, ana value It more for the spirit
In which it was offered than for tho relief
It was likely to afford the exchequer.
Mr. Chamberlain then explained that no
war contribution had been asked from the
Orange River Colony, whose revenue was
only sufficient for ordinary expenses, but
that In the probable development of the
country he thought It would not be unfair
a few years hence to ask for a moderate
contribution If the resources justified It.
The Colonial Secretary warmly repudi
ated the rumors that there had been many
Ignoblo bargainings for the Imperial con
sent for the Introduction of Chinese labor,
saying such bargaining would have been
almost treasonable on his part. He went
at some length Into the labor question
and said there was plenty of labor if the
Kaffir could be made to work.
"In the ordinary we have stopped slav
ery," added the Colonial Secretary, "but
many philanthropists at home would be
surprised to hear that we are encouraging
It in another and worso form, the Kaffir's
Idea being to buy wives to keep him In
Idleness. The black race is Increasing
with great rapidity, and unless it can be
settled In a regular industry it will provo
a danger and a difficulty."
Mr. Chamberlain urged the desirability
of increasing the white element In the
colonies, and said they wanted more brains
and less muscle. With this in view he ad
vocated the establishment of a university
which would be superior to anything In the
world. He opposed any Importation of
labor until all the resources for develop
ing available labor had been exhausted,
and he suggested that this should be con
sidered by a royal commission.
The Colonial Secretary announced that
Lord Mllner had agreed to call a confer
ence of the South African colonies to con
sider matters of common Interest, includ
ing the question of native administration
and legislation.
LOXDOX PAPERS APPROVED
Think Chamberlain's Speech Will Be
Productive of Good.
LONDON. Jan. 19. Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's frank admission that he
started for South Africa with the Idea
of obtaining a much larger war contri
bution from the Transvaal than he had
secured explains the rumors which have
been current for the last few days that
this mission has resulted In disappoint
ment to himself, and although the ar
rangement completed meets with hostile
criticism in a few sections of the London
press; on the whole It Is favorably re
ceived because It is recognized that If
Mr. Chamberlain had not gone to South
Africa no contribution at all might have
been forthcoming, and also because the
contribution is not forced, but voluntary
on the part of tho Rand Interests. Great
relief also Is felt that everything pos
sible Is being done to avoid the Intro
duction of Chinese labor Into tho Col
onies. The comments In the papers this morn
ing on Mr. Chamberlain's Johannesburg
speech Bhows it to bo regarded as one
of his most brilliant efforts, breathing the
best hopes for the prosperity and the
tranquillity of the new colonics. . Mr.
Chamberlain's reference to the labor
problem has been construed as Indicat
ing his desire for measures either to re
strain Kaffir polygamy or for a system
of taxation to compel the natives to
work by placing a heavy Impost upon
every additional wife.
In Johannesburg the Idea has been
mooted that tho $150,000,000 war contribu
tion might be spent In building new wan
ahlps. The suggestion does not meet much
approval In London, where It Is thought
the contribution ought to be applied to
the relief of .taxation.
In editorial articles this morning great
hopes are built on Mr. Chamberlain's
optimistic view of the colonies future
and the fact that the settlement errs, if
anything, on the side of generosity to tho
colonies.
VON KETTELER'S MEMORIAL.
Arch Dedicated in Pekln With Im
pressive Services.
PEK3N, Jan. 18. The dedication of the
Von Ketteler memorial arch, which oc
curred today, was an Impressive cere
mony. The arch was erected by China.
Baron von Ketteler was the German Min
ister who was killed by Boxers at the
outbreak of the Boxer trouble. The dedi
cation took place In the presence of a
brilliant assemblage of diplomats, many
Chinese officials, all the military officers
In Pekln, the entire foreign community
of the city, as well as ttye German officers
and civilians from Tien Tsln and other
cities. The streets and roofs from which
a view of the function was to be had
were crowded with Chinese. Tho German
troops were aligned In the street south
of the arch, while the Chinese soldiers
occupied the corresponding position to the
north. Baron von der GolU, First Secre
tary of the German Legation, officiated
in behalf of Germany, and Prince Chun,
brother of the Emperor, who was sent to
Germany to apologize for the murder of
the Minister, represented China at the
altar, while imperial sacrlflcal vessels
were erected before the arch. When
Prince Chun arrived he was escorted to
the arch by Baron von der Goltz, and ho
poured out a libation In honor of the dead
man. He then spoke as follows:
"This monument is to be a warning to
the people, a sign of the friendly rela
tions between our two countries, and a
symbol of peace." "
To these words Baron von der Goltz re
plied: f
"This monument has been consecrated
tar the Emperor of Germany by the Em
peror of China, as n permanent proof of
the anger of the Emperor at this crime.
In erecting this monument in China, he
fulfills an obligation ho took up after tho
events of 1900. The monument shall stand
as a sermon to posterity and as a lasting
symbol of the desire of the Chinese gov
ernment to promote and perpetuate
friendly relations with foreign govern
ments." These two speeches were read in Ger
man and in Chinese. After tho dedication
the German troops marched under the
arch, while the bands played national
airs.

escaped with broken fingers and bruises,
while others are suffering merely from'
the nervous shock.
The Des Moines and Minneapolis special,
running at a high rate of speed, struck a
broken rail Just as It was about to cross
a bridge. The speed of the train carried
it across the bridge on the ties; then the

and being jumbled together In a hopeless
mass.
Tho engineer was so badly Injured that
he died In a short time.
Tho passengers who were not Injured

through the car windows, and as soon as
all were taken from the debris they were
carried to a neighboring farmhouse, where
they were cared for till one of the party
walked to Waco and telegraphed to Syca
more, two miles away, for help. Assist
ance arrived In a couple of hours, and the
Injured passengers were brought to the
Sycamore Hospital.

ployes while at work and by passengers In
getting on or off cars, etc., bring the
total number of casualties up to 12,007, the
killed numbering S45 and the injured 11,
162. During the three months covered by
the statement, the traffic of a large ma
jority of the railroads has been heavier
than ever before, necessitating the em
ployment of new men In train and yard
work. The total number of collisions and
derailments was 214S. of which 1444 were
collisions and 1014 derailments, of which
EI collisions and 2 derailments affected

ALL HOPE ABANDONED
EDITOR GONZALES, VICTIM OF
TILLMAN, IS DYING.
Unfavorable Turn at Late Hour Last
Night Assassin in Jail No
Threats of Violence.
COLUMBIA, S. C. Jan. 19. At 3:15 this
morning hope of Gonzales' recover' has
been abandoned.
STORY OF THE BULLETINS.
Conditions Favorable Until Late
Hour Last Nlffht.
COLUMBIA. 8. C. Jan. 18. At 0:15 P. M.
Dr. Guerry Issued the following bulletin
as to tho condition of Editor Gonzales:
"Wound dressed and found to be In sat
isfactory condition. Draining from the
wound was In healthy condition. Patient
stood the dressing very well indeed.
Pulse 122, temperature 102, respiration 30.
During the day evacuation of the bowels
took place, followed later by another with
out any assistance of any kind."
The symptoms tonight are more favor
able than at nny. time since Lieutenant
Governor Tillman shot the editor, last
Thursday, but It Is impossible to give any
promise as to the ultimate result. The
physicians say that Gonzales is holding
his own and that he probably has passed
the period cf danger from peritonitis. The
wouna In the liver is not a source of dan
cer, but serious developments may occur
within the next few days. The physicians
said today that If Mr. Gonzales lived until
Tuesday without unfavorable develop
ments, he would likely have an ven
chance for recover'. This evening there
was a return of nausea and more restless
ness than the physicians wished to se,
and they are watching anxiously for a
relief from these disturbances.
Dr. W. Gill Wylle, of New York, who
left here last night for Rockhili. is re
turning tonight. It Is desired that he
should be In consultation at the present
stage of the patient's condition. In the
churches of Columbia today there has
been heard earnest prayers for the Hfo
of the stricken editor. In all the leading
churches the ministers offered special sup
plications. All referred in high terms of
tribute to the services of the wounded
man -to the city and the state.
There have been no developments in the
affair today beyond the fluctuations In the
wounded man's condition. Lieutenant
Governor Tillman is still In Jail and no
applications have been made for his re
lease on bail. It Is considered practically
certain that none would be enterta'ined so
long as the condition of Mr. Gonzales
remains critical. Except for an unwar
ranted and untrue newspaper report that
one of the Gonzales family had expressed
a desire to "get a chance at Tillman,"
thpre has been no recurrence of talk of
Violence to the Lieutenant-Governor.
There has been no expression from any
member of the Gonzales family that would
be Interpreted Into a threat against Till
man and there has been no trace of mob
spirit.

COLORADO'S LEGISLATURE
f .
Interest Centers In Report of Com
mittee on Elections.
DENVER, Jan. 18. Interest In the Sen
atorial fight in Colorado centers in the
report of the House elections committee,
which has been Investigating the contests
filed against the seating of 17 Democratic
members of the House. The matter has
been in the hands of the elections commit
tee for several days, and while positive
evidence has been brought out that frauds
were committed In several precincts of
Arapahoe County, the large majorities
received by the Democrats, ranging from
2000 to 5000. it Is believed will be hard to
overcome In every Instance. The report
will be made to tho Houso tomorrow.
Chairman Breckenridge, a Republican,
chosen by agreement wlththo antl-WoI-cott
members and the Democrats, be
cause of his known fairness. In an Inter
view stated that he believed there would
be two reports, a majority report by the
Republicans, who control the committee,
and one by the minority members. He
said that he thought both sides would
stand together, but he did not want the
Inference drawn that the entire 17 Demo
crats would be ousted. It Is the general
opinion that those Demoerats whose ma
jorities reached close to the maximum
given above will be allowed to retain their
seats, but that the others will be thrown
out. It Is also believed that the unseating
of the entire 17, which tho Wolcottltes
demand, will give them the balance of
power In the House. But should this be
done, and the throat of the Democrats,
who control tho Senate, to unseat every
Republican Senator be carried out, the
result would likely be a deadlock, for the
Senate, then unanimously Democratic,
would refuse to enter a joint session. So
that whatever the report of the coramitteo
may be, there will be sufficient opposi
tion to mako tomorrow's session an In
teresting one.
On Tuesday the Legislature meets In
Joint session to ballot for a successor to
United States Senator Henry M. Teller.
The equal division of the Republicans for
and against ox-Senator E. O. Wolcott re
mains Intact, with no apparent hopo of a
change between now and Tuesday.
Senatorial Canvass at Albany.
ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 18. The election
of a United States Senator to succeed
Senator Thomas Collier Piatt will be tho
most Important Legislative event In the
coming week. Thus far there is but one
Republican candidate In the field, and he
Is Senator Piatt. Both Senator Piatt and
Governor Odell have expressed the belief
that he will be re-elected. On Monday
night caucuses of both Republicans and
Democrats will be held. It Is believed
that Senatora Brackett, Elsborg and
Brown, who refused to attend the first
Republican caucus, at which a President
pro tern of the Senate was nominated,
will also refuse to attend the Monday
night caucus. The Democratic Legisla
tors will name Hon. John B. Stanchfield,
of Elmlra, as their candidate for United
States Senator.

BAD EFFECT OF POLITICS
Turns a Chicago Labor Election Into
Pandemonium.
CHICAGO. Jan. IS. Fraud and violence
were resorted to last night by the two fac
tions that sought to gain coptrol of the
Chicago Federation of Labor and elect Its
officers. Eleven assaults were committed
while th voting was In progress, and
ever- device known in the days of corrupt
primaries was employed. Not until a
squad of pollco was sent to the hall was
order restored. The police drove from the
room a body of 300 men who threatened
the Judges and clerks of election, and re
mained on guard until an early hour this
morning. Before they arrived, however,
one man was seriously injured and a score
more received bruises of more or less con
sequence. During the progress of the elec
tion four of the delegates were robbed by
pickpockets. The intrqductlon of political
issues into the election is said to be re
sponsible for the trouble.

BRINGS DOG BACK TO LIFE
Experiments With Powerful Drag
Adrennlin Seem Successful.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 18. Many doctosa
are inclined to consider the experiments
which have been carried on by Dr.
George W. Crlle, of Cleveland, In the
use of adrenalin, as successful. Tho
operation leading to the discovery of Its
powor was performed on a dog by Dr.
Crlle and other physicians. After anaes
thetics had been administered to a dog,
the suspension of respiration was effected
by clamping the windpipe. After tho
dog had been apparently dead for 13
minutes a few drops of adrenalin .we,re
administered and artificial respiration re
sorted to. This treatment restored the
dog to a. comparatively conscious condi
tion. It is said, that adrenalin has not
been tried on human beings, and its ef
fect on man Is unknown.

STRONG FOR FULTON.
His Election Urged Both on Parts
and on Personal Grounds.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 12. (To the
Editor.) I have Interviewed more than
half dozen men In this city who wer
formerly residents of Oregon, and to
man they agree that If Oregon is looking
for Its ablest man to represent It In tht
Senate of the United States they hav
that person In Hon. Charles W. Fulton'
Had he resided In the southern part or
the state, no Influence could have kept
him from the Senate aa far back as
years ago. This splendid and gifted mail
has been a victim of geography more thar
party eplrll. But location of his residence
should no longer be permitted to stani
between Oregon's honored son and the
Senate of the United States. In ever!
campaign for 20 years he has been
major-general and wore the epaulets o
authority; and whenever and whereveij
the political battles raged fiercest there
could be found this splendid soldier lead-
ing hla party forces again and again tc
victory. What has been done to recognize
these eminent services? Absolutely noth-
lng. But this man has a higher claim tc
recognition than his splendid services tc
the party. And that Is his great ability
his statesmanship and his integrity
Other men may possess the last named!
but what other man has in full ant
rounded measure the two former? I pracJ
ticed law in that state for many years!
and know many people in all parts of It
I have property Interests there, and nat-j
urally feel Interested In Its government.!
This humble tribute to Mr. Fulton is volj
untary and gratuitous. Te has noa
a9ked for It, neither does he need It; butj
I owe that state a debt of gratitude, anil
I can best pay It by desiring Its greatesa
good. A. R. KANAGA.
