FOR COLLECTING ASSESSMENTS
lie ninmc Civil Service Commission
tor Interfering 'With Idaho Snr-veyor-C'cnernl
mid Demands
llcruions for Its Action.
Prr.alor Dubois yesterday asked the
Senate to call on the Civil Service Com
mission for information regarding the
removal of E. E. Foreshay aa clerk In
the Surveyor-General's office in Idaho.
lie made a speech condemning the
commljIon for 1U Interference, and for
lu refusal to explain its action: also
for causing the removal of Surveyor
Genera! rerrault.
Owlne to the exposure of the attempt
to push the shipping- subsidy bill
through the House committee in the ab
sence of three Democratic members, ac
tion on it has been postponed.
Senator Depew argued yesterday
against the statehood bill that it would
tend to promote the movement for
direct election of Senators.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Feb. 17. The Civil Service Com
mission was subjected to severe criticism
today, when Senator Dubois brought up
his resolution calling upon the commission
for information regarding the charges and
evidence on which Elmer E. Foreshay was
dismissed from a clerkship in the oince o
Surveyor-General Perrault. of Idaho. Du
bois explained that Foreshay did not be
long to the same party as Perrault, but
was compelled by the latter, when Surveyor-General,
to receive Republican cam
paign contributions,, and for no doing, it
was understood, he was dismissed. Fore
Bhay performed this service under threat
of dismissal by rerrault should he de
cline. Yet, in view of these circumstances, his
dismissal was brought about by the Civil
Service Commission for having received
campaign contributions contrary to civil
service rules. Perrault. he said, combat
ed the removal of Foreshay. When he
(Dubois) requested information from the
Civil Sen-ice Commission, explaining why
the clerk was dismissed, his letters were
evasively answered and the information
withheld. Therefore he sought to obtain
It by authority of the Senate.
Dubois said that Perrault had been re
moved through "intense activity of the
Civil Service Commission, notwithstand
ing he was the best Surveyor-General
Idaho ever had." Neither Secretary Hitch
cock nor President Roosevelt wanted Per
rault removed, both regarding him highly.
Yet the Civil Service Commission tri
umphed, and, with Perrault, Foreshay was
forced to go.
A number of Senators did not like to
establish a precedent for. ordering- Sena
torial Investigation into the removal of
minor employes, but considerable Interest
was manifested in this case because of the
apparent unfairness. Senator Hale went
so far as to say that he thought the Civil
Service Commission the moving power, al
though the dismissal was ordered by some
one who "yielded to the importunities of
the commission, which is constantly Inter
fering with men who are good officials
but who perhaps may technically be
guilty of somcthing'of this kind."
Several other Senators. Including Spooner
and Piatt, expressed the opinion that, if
Perrault forced Foreshay to receive cam
paign funds under threat of dismissal, he.
and not the clerk, ehould have been dis
missed. Senator Bacon thought the case
in point not an Isolated one. but typical
of many similar actions, and thought an
Investigation should be made to determine
how generally the Civil Service Commis
sion is exceeding its lawful authority.
Dubois later explained that Perrault had
not been dismissed, but had not been reap
pointed at the expiration of his term.
The resolution went over until tomorrow.
DEPEWS ORIGINAL PLEA.
Opponent of Popular Election of Sen
ators! Arsmes Against Statehood.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Feb. 17. Senator Depew, in his
speech on the statehood bill today, argued
that to add to the Union three more states
with small population, giving them six
Senators, would still farther dilute the
Senate and make it more unpopular than
now. Ho. added that this would call the
attention of the country sharply to the
conditions in the Senate, and that it-would
start a sentiment in favor of populariz
ing the Senate, having the Senators elect
ed by direct vote and giving larger states
a representation according to their pop
ulation. Depew is one of the' Senators -who have
stood out firmly against any action In the
direction of the election of Senators by
direct vote. While the advocates of the
election of Senators by direct vote arc
constantly growing in numbers, none of
them has ever been heard in favor of a
proposition to equalize representation in
the Senate according to population. The
only proposition of this-kind that has been
presented to the Senate in recent years
was by Penrose of Pennsylvania, who did
it with a view of injuring tho chances of
the Joint resolution for election of Sena
tors by a popular method.
SHARP PIUtCTICE EXPOSED.
ililp Sulisldy Advocates Forced to
Postpone Action in Committee.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Feb. 17. Consideration of the ship
subsidy bill by the House committee this
morning was postponed simply and solely
because the Eastern press of today very
generally called attention to the fact that
its friends were going to resort to sharp
practice in order to get favorable action
by demanding a report when three Demo
cratic members opposed to the bill were
out of the city. There was also some such
comment among Republican members of
the House who aro opposed to the MIL
and it was only to escape public condem
nation that the committee postponed a
vote.
The discussion among Republicans for
the past few days has convinced some of
the friends of the bill that It cannot pass,
even if reported, but one member of the
committee said that Senator Hanna had
made an earnest plea with the Republicans
to get some action on the bill, for which
ho had labored so earnestly for the past
four years. Now that it is known an ef
fort will be made to pass the MIL the
opposition Republicans are combining
forces, and confidently claim that the bill
la easily within their control.
XORTmVEST IJT CONGRESS.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 17. Senator Foster today of
fered an amendment to the omnibus public
building bill authorizing the purchase of
a public building site at North Yakima,
to cost J10.000.
The House commerce committee today
favorably reported the Senate bill author
izing the construction of dams in the Co
lumbia River at Kettle Fall, for divert
ing the watci for power purposes. As re
ported the bill stipulates that the dams
must be confined to that stretch of 'river
within three or four miles of Kettle Falls,
the full rights accruing to Jay P. Graves.
The committee also reported tho Senate
bill establishing a llfesavlng station at
Cape Flattery, Wash.
GIVE COAST. BIDDERS A CIIAXCE.

tracts for Warships.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 17. Representative Cushman
called on Secretary Moody today to se
cure departmental recommendation for
the incorporation in the naval appropria
tion bill of a provision allowing Pacific
Coast bidders on naval vessels authorized
under tho pending measure a differential
of 4 per cent over bidders on the Atlantic
Coast.
Such a stipulation was Incorporated in
the bill last year, and in Cushman's opin
ion is necessary to place Pacific Coast
firms on an equitable footing. Further
more he says such a differential would
tend to hold down bids on the Atlantic
Coast.

BRYAN ON DEMOCRACY.
Does Not Believe wid School Will
Recover Control.
NEW YORK. Feb. 17, William J.
Bryan In an interview printed this morn
ing Is quoted as answering the question:
"What attitude will you take in the
event of a candidate of the-old school of
Democracy being named for President"
by saying:
"I will not assume that there can be such
a revolution in the party as would place
the men who have been against it in con
trol next year. VThe next platform, in
my opinion, will, in every essential par
ticular, reaffirm the principles of the Kan
sas City platform. I firmly believe it
will be along those lines, of course, cov
ering the new additional questions that
have or may arise. I do not believe the
platform of 1900 will be repudiated."
"If an Eastern man is nominated will
you support him!'
"It depends on what he thinks, not
where he is from."
"Do you think the nomination of Judge
Parker would' be satisfactory?"
"I prefer not to say anything about
Judge Parker now," was the reply.

Comforting; Prospect Held' Out by
Bryan to Democrats.
BALTIMORE. Md.. Feb. 17.-W. J.
Bryan was the guest of honor tonight at
Eutaw House of the Maryland Demo
cratic Association. Jlr. Bryan was in
troduced by President Field, of the Mary
land Democratic Association (Silver Dem
ocrats). He delivered a strong argument
in favor of "real Democratic principles,"
and was cheered to the echo.
"In all parts of the country," ho said
"there are thousands of people who are
Just as devoted to the principles for which
we are contending as are you loyal mem
bers of this club to whom I am speaking
tonight. I am absolutely sure that some
day we shall rejoice in winning a victory
upon these principles.
"In my opinion there has been no time
in recent years when the Democratic
chances equaled "present conditions. If we
can get entire control of tho National
Government in the hands of real Demo
crats, we" shall institute so many reforms
that the Republicans will not regain a
foothold in a generation."
He closed by advising his hearers to
Fpend tho next year In "maintaining the
Integrity of tho Democratic party of the
country and to send delegates to the next
National convention who will not vote for
an ambiguous platform."

The chief charm of woman's wardrobe is a fetch
ingly fashionable Tailor Suit. And it is little
wonder that our advance showing of Tailor Suits
has met with the most enthusiastic admiration of
hundreds of fastidious dressers who have crowd
ed our store the past two days. The styles for
Spring are a harmonizing of many decidedly new
ideas. The collarless Eton with the stunning
cape effect is a most swagger creation, having an
individuality and exclusiveness of appearance
which is sure to make it one of the Spring sea
son's favored fashions. There's also the new box
pleated sleeves, a decidedly fascinating style
thought. The new materials also are strikingly
handsome; and the trimmings somewhat a ten
dency toward elaboration. But still the Tailor
Suit for Spring 1903 has that air of dressiness
that will meet with the hearty favor of every dig
nified dresser. Pleased to show our styles
whether you purchase or not. Come in today.
