The legislative atmos phere is very much clearer today, as a re sult ot the collapse of the statehood bill, and it is now confidently believed that all business will be disposed of. Including the treaties. Of course, these treaties may go over, as SI organ is prepared to talk very much longer, and the Democrats have an nounced that be shall have all tho time he wants. There Is a report that quite a strong railroad lobby has settled down in Wash ington, which is opposing tho canal treaty on the ground that the concessions will lapse on March 4, but this does not seem to be verified, as few-of the Senators that are generally found working in the inter ests of transcontinental lines appear to bo interested in defeating the canal treaty. In fact. Senator Morgan, who has so persistently fought the transcontinental lines in advocacy of the Nicaragua Canal, is the man who seems to be making the -hnrdeat fight. Chance of Coliau Treaty. As to the Cuban treaty, it is still diffi cult to say whether the beet-sugar In terests are ready to support the Louisi ana and some other Southern Senators, but so far they do not seem to have shown their hands. It Is known that a two-thirds majority exists in the Senate for both treatiefl If a vote can be reached, and It is believed the Senate two-thirds majority can be counted on if the Senate should be called in extra session. There is also some doubt about whether the Cuban treaty will be put in operation, even if it is ratified at this session be cause of the claim of some House mem bers that they should be allowed to paas upon any treaty that affects the tariff. The desire of the Administration to have the Cuban treaty acted on, however, is more for the purpose of giving a guar antee to Cuba that the promises made to her will be carried out. Cuba is carry ing out agreements In regard to coaling stations and a naval base, and the Admin istration wishes to show that this Gov ernment will fulfill its promises and im plied obligations. It is known that unless the House passes upon the treaty the con stitutional question will bo raised, which could not be decided before the next Con gress assembles. At that time there is little doubt that the treaty passed by the Senate, either at this or a special ses sion, will be approved by the House, so far .as It relates to tariff matters. Philippine Tariff Bill Doomed. The Philippine tariff bill Is going to die. Patterson of Colorado Is the bead ot the opposition, and he will not even grant the additional IS per cent reduction of the present rate. The rate on sugar and to bacco was increased to 50 per cent, instead of 25 per cent in the House bill at the re quest of beet-sugar and tobacco concerns, but even this is not satisfactory to the beet-sugar Interests represented by Pat terson and others, who Insist that there shall be no further reduction at the pres ent time. This will mean a delay until the next Congress, at 'which time it would , not be surprising to see the duties entirely wiped out. or at least a reduction in the House bill accepted. FORESTRY AND GAME BILLS. "VVII1 Be Reported to Home, but Face Opposition. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Feb. 25. The House public lands committee today ordered a favorable re port on the bills recently passed by the Senate, one authorizing forestry officials and rangers to arrest without warrants all persons found violating laws and regula tions governing reserves, and the other authorizing the President to create game preserves within forest reservations. This latter bill was amended to provide that there 'should be one game preserve in each state and in such preserves all killing of wild animals, birds and fish shall be pro hibited. The Senate bill authorized the Secretary nf Interior, in his discretion, to issue per mits for'huntlng and fishing In these game preserves. Several House members are op posed to these bills and Intend to fight them if called upon. ALDRICII STILL HAS HOPES. Workluir Hard to Overcome Opposi tion to His Financial Hill. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 25. More strenuous efforts were made today by Senator Aldrlch to get an agreement to press the Aldrlch financial bllL The Rhode Island Senator has been working among Senators who have shown a disposition to oppose the measure, and he has hopes that it may get through. The opposition has certainly cooled off somewhat, but still a number ot Senators think the measure ought not to past. The full effect of the bill is not .generally understood, although Aldrlch made quite a detailed explanation of It yesterday and has been explaining cer tain provisions to certain Senators to day. .Representative Hill, of Connecticut, who ''has given a great deal of attention to financial measures, says that he will not oppose tha bill If it comes over to the House, as it is in line with what he has advocated one time or another, but goes much further than anything he has sug gested. He thinks that it will give the Treasury Department absolute control of the money of the country and place Na tional banks under more absolute con trol of the Treasury Department than ever before. Very little opposition seems to be made to that portion of the bill which allows the deposit of state, county, municipal and other bonds as security, and in fact that is the feature which seems to carry the measure and to give It strength In the Senate. The claim for the bill is that It will give greater elasticity to the cur rency of the country. Olds, Woitman & King BUILDING for BAicnn. CITY. Moody's Pcrnlstence Seeures Appro priation for I'OKtoffire Site. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Feb. 25 The Senate public build ing bill, which was reported by the House committee today, was amended so as to Include a few new site. Among them Is JoOOO for a site for a Federal building ot Baker City, Or. Representative Moody appealed to the House committee, when it was framing the original bill, for a provision authoriz ing the purchase of a site suitable for a postofflce and assay office combined, but was not successful. He then presented his case to Senator Simon, who undertook to incorporate it In the Senate bill, but there all new sites were voted down, There being no Federal buildings In East ern Oregon. Mr. Moody insisted that no other new case was more meritorious than this, which the House committee finally conceded. It agreed that. If any new ven tures should be undertaken, his applica tion should be protected, with the result that it is now In the bill and will remain there unless all new sites are defeated In conference. Representative Moody hopes that. If the purchase of a site Is authorized. Congress will finally appropriate sufficient to con struct a Federal building large enough to accommodate the postofflce and also the Federal courts, should the state later on be divided into two districts. While the Treasury Department opposes the estab lishment of all new assay offices, he says there is little hope of such legislation, either now or in the near future. SENATOR MITCHELL AT WORK. At Capitol First Time Since Illness He Dor Ilnslrcaa. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash lngton, Fob. 25.-Senator -Mitchell appeared in the Senate today for the first time since he was taken 111 a month or more ago. He drove to the Capitol and, after a short stay, returned to his hotel, where he Is busy trying to catch up with past cor respondence. Senator Mitchell today offered an amend ment to uie deficiency appropriation bill providing $5000 for improving and main taining a wagon road through the Cas cade forest reserve from a point near McKenzle Bridge across the Cascade Mountains to Three Sisters postofflce.

Arrangement of Itinerary Delayed " Till Concreji Adjonrna. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Feb. 25. President Roosevelt, In these busy days preceding the adjourn ment of Congress, has been unable 'to pay any attention to plans for his contemplat ed Western trip, and not until Congress is out of the way will the trip be defi nitely arranged. It is the President's hope and desire to leave for the West tome tlmo in April, and to devote seven or eight weeks to the tour, which will extend clear across the continent, and through the Pacific Coast States, but as to the itinerary or even, make-up of the Presidential party nothing can now be stated with certainty. There Is adltional uncertainty owing to the possibility of an extra session of the Senate, in case the pending treaties are not ratified before March i. COMPLIMENTS TO MOODY, PultHc Lands Committee Praises Ills Work and Regrets His Loss. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 25.

PROGRAMME OF MURDER. Anarchists to Meet In Paris and Plan King-KIlllnjr.

Astronomical Expedition Leaves Uni versity of California. BERKELEY, Cal.. Feb. 2S. The D. O. Mills astronomical expedition to the Southern Hemisphere, after two years of preparatory work, will sail from San Francisco for Chile next Saturday. The observations will be conducted by Uni versity of California astronomers, headed by "William H. Wright, of the Lick Ob servatory. Owing to an Injury recently received. Director Campbell will be un able to go with the party, which expects to remain abroad at least two years. The mission of tho expedition Is to throw additional light on the motion of the solar system through space. Since 1S95 the Une-of-slght velocities of some 400 of the brighter xtarn have been measured at the Lick Observatory by means of the spectograph presented by D. O. Mills. The results so far obtained indicate that the solar system Is moving approximately toward the southern part of the constella tion of the Lyre, with a speed of 124 miles a second. This conclusion, however, can not be considered conclusive, for the stars of the Southern Hemisphere are not rep reiented in the calculations, and for the purpose of observing them the Mills ex pedition is being sent to Santiago, Chile. The spectroscopic photographs obtained by the party will be sent to the Lick Ob-servatorj- for measurement and compari son. All the expenses will be borne by D. O. Mills, of New York.

According to the noted educator, a great mistake Is being made by those parents who, knowing that their children lack brains, still think that they have them trained to lives of use. fulness by packing them off to a uni versity. Dr. Perrln declares that careful Judgment should be used In choosing be tween practical Instruction and higher education. Among other things, he said, many a boy would do better to stick to the blacksmith shop, and In case a girl to the millinery store. Too many feel that going to a college Is going to redeem their lives. It sometimes ruins them. Some people are no good In college, but are all right In other lines.
