OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington. March 18. The President, In nom
inating Charles F. Humphrey to be Quar
termaster-General of the Army, has
"mothered his personal feeling and ap
pointed a man who had been personally
obnoxious to him, simply because the
needs of the service seemed to demand it.
"When the President was Colonel of the
Hough Riders, Humphrey -was Chief Quar
termaster In Cuba. Both men had a great
deal to do, especially the Chief Quarter
master, who has a somewhat Irritable
nature, and, being a first-class business
man, insisted upon all matters pertaining
to the Army being performed In business
shape and according to regulations. It Is
not definitely known what occurred be
tween Colonel Humphrey and Colonel
Roosevelt at Siboney, but it is known that
Humphrey, as he is liable to do, used
very sharp words to the Colonel of tho
Rough Riders.
"When there was a prospective vacancy
at the head of the Quartermaster's De
partment, various candidates were sug
gested, and Humphrey's name was gen
erally scratched, because It was said tho
President took the position that any man
who would treat another officer as Hum
phrey treated him during the Spanish
"War was scarcely fit for so Important
place as Quartermaster-General of the
Army.
But the President listened to the counsel
of friends, it being demonstrated that
Humphrey was by far the best-equipped
man in the Army for this important place.
It was Humphrey who, under most exas
perating circumstances, hampered by the
"War Department and by conditions, got
the sick troops from Cuba to Montauk
Point. After this was accomplished, he
went back as Chief Quartermaster of
Cuba until that country reached a settled
state. "When Chaffee went to China, he
took Humphrey for his Quartermaster, be
cause he .knew he was a man that would
do things. Then Humphrey was made
Chief Quartermaster of the Philippines.
and has accomplished a great deal over
, there.
His service and record were laid before
the President, and lhey outweighed any
thing that ho might have felt against" the
man because he had been irritable or be
cause he had not been what the Presi
dent thought an officer should be. The
President sacrificed all personal feeling
and any prejudice he might have had and
selected Humphrey, who is beyond ques
tion the ablest man in the corps for the
place.
APPOINTMENTS IX OREGON.
Rovrlnnd to Succeed W'aKsroner Neir
Postmniiter Are Named.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash

haB Joined in recommending the appoint
ment of John "W. Rowland, at present a
clerk In the Surveyor-General's office at
Portland, as chief clerk of that office, to
fill the existing vacancy caused by the
removal of "Waggoner.
The President today nominated and the
Senate confirmed five Postmasters in the
First Oregon District, all of whom were
unanimously indorsed by tho Oregon Con
gressional delegation. They are: Samuel

land; James L. Page, Eugene; John C.
Eckman, McMlnnville, and Thomas P.
Randall. Oregon City. These appointments
were recommended by the delegation sev
eral days ago. but were held up because
of protests, the Postofflce Department
having been Informed that the people
very largely thought no changes should be
made until a new Congressman had been
elected, as postofficcs are always regarded
as patronage belonging to members of
Congress. The terms of the incumbents
In these offices, however, have all expired,
and the delegation's wishes were re
spected. The President also sent in tho nomina
tion of Asa B. Thompson as Receiver of
the La Grande Land Office, to succeed S.
O. Swackhamer.
The President, for some reason, has not
yet acted on the delegation's recommenda
tion of the appointment of Dresser for
Register at Oregon City, or Knowles for
Register at La Grande.
The Secretary of tho Interior has mailed
to John D. Daly, recently appointed Surveyor-General
for Oregon, his bond in
blank, with the request that the same be
filled out and returned immediately. As
coon as the bond is approved. Daly will be
instructed by wire to take charge of the
office, relieving Meldrum.

DRESSER STRIKES A SNAG.
Simon's Protest May Keep Moores In
OreRon City Land Office.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
ington, March IS. The Oregon delegation
has run against an unexpected snag In Its
effort to secure the appointment of
Dresser as Register of the Oregon City
Land Office. More thin a week ago it
recommended Dresser's appointment, but
the President did not send" la the nomi
nation. This morning the delegation called
at the White House to ascertain the cause
for" the delay, and the President told the
members he was somewhat embarrassed.
He said that at the time Blbee was ap-
pointed Receiver at Oregon City, Senator I
Simon had complained of being dlscriml- I
nated against in the distribution of 'pat
ronage, and that he (the President) had
promised that Simon could name the suc
cessor to Moores. He showed the delega
tion a. copy of his letter to Simon to this
effect, and said his promise bad been
called to mind since Dresser had been rec
ommended.
It Is not Improbable that the matter
may have to be compromised by allowing
Moores to continue in office, as there
would be great opposition by the delega
tion to the appointment of George A.
Steele, who was Simon's choice for the
place.
"When the delegation left . the "White
House it did not know what action the
President would take on the recommenda
tion. There was some further surprise later in
the day when the President sent in the
nomination of Thompson as Receiver at
Li Grande, but failed to nominate
Knowles for Register, who was recom
mended at the same time as Thompson.,

President Can't Visit Pendleton Let-ter-Cnrrlcrs
for The Dalles.
ORDGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March IS. Representxtive Will
iamson today invited the President on his
coming tour to visit Pendleton, but this
the President said could not be done for
lack of time.
Before leaving lor home Representative
Williamson had a conference with Hy
drographer Newell, of the Geological Sur
vey, relative to irrigation 'work in Ore
gon. He urged. Inasmuch as Oregon Is
one of the largest contrlbuters to the
reclamation fund, that some of the money
now available should be expended In re
claiming the lands of Eastern Oregon.
To this end he asked that proposed ex
aminations be concluded as early as pos
sible.' Representative Moody was today noti
fied that jm June 1 city mill delivery
would be Inaugurated at The Dalles, In
accordance with his former recommenda
tion. Before this time the city will be
expected to have all streets named and
all houses must be numbered. Examina
tions will be had of candidates for ap
pointments as letter-carriers, the positions
being under civil service. The Dalles
would have had carrier service a year
ago but for the fact that the former post
master padded his returns, and it was
deemed best to await another year to de
termine whether the receipts actually
exceeded J10.000.
The case against Lionel Stagge charged
with having obtained money from Rep
resentative Fowler, of New Jersey, under
false pretenses, was dropped today, as
Fowler notified the police officials that
he was ill and umble to come to Wash
ington to appear against the accused.
Stagge wis released.

Commissioner Richards to take no final

gations of miners from Sumpter and resi

VOTE ON CUBA TODAY

Flovr ef EloqHeace ContlHKed So

Agreement to Act Teday.
"WASHINGTON. March IS. Before ad
journing at 7 o'clock tonight, the Senate
entered into a unanimous agreement to
vote on the Cuban reciprocity treaty at 3
o'clock tomorrow. The hope of seeing a
vote today was disappointed by the dis
covery that there were more speeches to
be made in opposition to the treaty than
had been counted upon. Indeed, It was
difficult to secure an agreement to vote
even tomorrow and it was evident that
this result could not have been accom
plished nut for the anxiety of Senators
to secure a final, adjournment of the ses

hours and was devoted largely to adverse

criticisms of the treaty. . During the day
Senator Newlands made a plea for the

vltation to that Island to become a state
of the American Union. The debate was
participated In by Senators McEnery,
Newlands; Spooner, Teller, Nelson, Gor
man. Cullom. Bailev and Carmack.
The Senate spent the first half hour of
tne executive session in discussion of the
propriety of printing all the speeches with
the canal treatv. since thp officii! 1 rennrt.
ers were admitted to the chamber last
Monday. The unanimous agreement to
print Included only Senator Morgan's
speech and Senator Cullom's closing re
marks, but none of -the others. There
was, however, a general understanding
that, if the other speeches were in order,
all would be orinted. When the mipstlnn
was taken up, objection was made to the
printing or tne speeches not included In
the agreement on the ground that they
should not be elven out because thev tipr-
taln to executive business and some of
tnem discuss the treaty with considerable
frankness. There was no objection to the
printing of the Moramn nnd Pnllnm
speeches, and the Senate passed from the
point of printing the other speeches to the
consiaeration or the Cuban reciprocity
treaty without deciding the mattpr. Th
discussion, however, made it quite clear
mat comparatively little, if any, of the
running debate would be printed.
When the Cuban treaty was laid before
tne senate, McEnery took the floor and
made a speech of something more than
two hours' in lenrth in onnnslHnn tn u
He contended that the treaty Is against
the sugar trust and he said its ratlflrnHnn
would be a direct blow against the sugar
interests or the United States. The pres
ent sugar trust, Mr. McEnery Bald, had
greatly stimulated the sugar industry of
mis country ana ne predicted that, if fi
should be Dermltted to continue in tnmt
the time would come when" the United
State would produce not only sufficient
cugar to supply its own wants, but that
wouia export part or the American
product.
In this connection he asserted that hnif
of the states of the Union are capable
oi proaucing oeet sugar at a profit under
proper legislative encouragement. The
admission of Cuban suirar nt rpflnnod
rates, he said, would .prove a severe blow
to tne growth of the beet-sugar Industry,

lation would be affected by the approval
ql tne treatv.
Whe.n McEnery concluded, Newlands
too me noor. jiis speech was notable
not only because It was hi mo Man ctvoah
in the Senate, but because he appeared
as an open aavocate or the annexation o:
Cuba to the United States, and also ai
an opponent of the treaty. As a part o:
his address on the point of annexation, hi
presented the following amendment:
"The RCDUbllc Of the TTnltod Rtrt
OtmlzlWr the intimate relntfnnMn htrrAn
the Republic of Cuba and Itself, and being
desirous of still further promoting free
dom of trade and strengthening the bonds
of amity and friendship between the peo
ple of the two countries, cordially Invites
the Republic of Cuba to become a state of
the Union under the Constitution and
laws of the United States."
In suppqrt of this amendment. Newlands
said that the Democratic party should

public
He contended that the theory of rod-
pro city is wrong because It leads to fa
i vorltism. both In our deallnn with fnr.
clgn nations and among our own people.
Furthermore, he declared, the adoption
of a policy of reciprocity wo aid lead to
retaliation on the part of the nations who
might fail to secure the eEtabUskseat of
the reciprocal relation. What, for In
stance, he asked, would France, our tra
ditional friend among nations, think If we b
should enter upon reciprocal trade rela
tions with Cuba, and fail to ratify tne
treaty with her looking to the same ead?
He contended that Cuba Is now prosper
ous, and that it is not necessary that her
industries be encouraged by us.
Spooner replied briefly to lewlands, and
sharply criticised his policy of .annexation.
He said that under the Teller resolution
the political independence of Cuba had
been gained, and that under that pledge
and in respect to our own obligations this
country could take no step looking to any
other result. He also urged that the
United States is Under moral obligation to
assist the people of Cuba, and added that
on account of the close-relationship ex
isting between the two lands, also because
of their geographical proximity, the
United States should lose no opportunity
to strengthen the' ties of commerce and
friendship.
Newlands challenged several of Spoon-
el's statements, and the two engaged for
time In a spirited controversy.
Replying to Spooner. Teller repeated his
opinion that the treaty was Intended to
benefit the sugar trust and calculated to
do incalculable Injury to the sugar Inter
ests, of the United States. But, he. urged.
the treaty was Indefensible, even If the
trust would not be benefited, for the rea
son that It would place a Bounty upon
the sugar products of our competitor as a
sugar-producer. But, bad as it was from
his standpoint he predicted that every Re
publican Senator would be found voting
for it. What it was that secured their
support of such agreements as this and
the Panama Canal treaty ne aia not
know, but he was sure not even the elo
quence of a Demosthenes or the logic of
Lord Bacon would move them from
their position.
Without announcing his intention to
vote for or against the measure. Nelson
criticised it sharply. He replied to Spoon-
er's contention that the united States is
under obligation to aid the Cubans, and
said that this country had -certainly done
all for that country that one nation could
be expected to do lor another.
Cullom made an effort to secure an
agreement to fix a time for a vote. Gor
man said that he had no objection, but
Carmack and Bailey both declared that
they were unprepared for naming the
hour for taking a. ballot. They finally
withdrew their objections, and 3 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon was named for vot
ing. During the day Nelson offered an
amendment placing flour Imported to Cuba
in the 40 per cent reduction schedule and
McEnery an amendment striking out the
article of the treaty providing against any
reduction on American tobaccos Imported
into Cuba.
The Senate at 1 o'clock adjourned until
11 o'clock tomorrow.
CUBAN TREATY MAY FAIL.
Amendments by Senate Would Make
Practically Neir Treaty Needed.
WASHINGTON, March IS. It is said at
the State Department that the sharpest
kind of work will be required to save tho
Cuban treaty from total failure if it is
ratified tomorrow by the Senate with
amendments as proposed. The slightest
amendments will require the convention
again to be ratified by the Cuban Con
gress, and while there is little doubt that
small opposition will be offered, it is
pointed out that the period allowed for
the exchange of ratifications expires on
the 31st Inst. Thla is a very short space
of time in which to complete formalities.
In Washington and have the treaty acted
on by the Cuban Congress.
If there is any failure on this point, a
new treaty will have to be drawn or have
additional articles, in the initial -protocols
adopted, and will require fresh action of
the legislative branches of both govern
ments, and Involve as much work as draw
ing a new treaty.

Assistant Treasurer at Nctt York.
WASHINGTON, March IS President
Roosevelt today withdrew the nomination
of William Plimley as assistant treas
urer at New York, and late today sent
to the Senate- the nomination of Hamilton
Fish to that office. The nomination was
confirmed promptly by the Senate.
Mr. Pllmley's nomination was confirmed
by the Senate the day after its transmis
sion to that body by. the President. His
-commission was made out and signed by
the President, but had not been delivered,
when, at the Instance of Senator Aldrlch.
chairman of the finance committee, the
Senate adopted a resolution recalling the
nomination from the President for fur
ther consideration. It developed that
charges had been made against Mr. Plim
ley, which the Senate desired to investi
gate. Protests from important financial
interests in New York subsequently were
filed with the President against the ap
pointment. Protests also reached the
Treasury Department, which also made an
Investigation. Assistant Secretary Arm
strong, of the Treasury Department, had
conference with the President at which
It was decided that, in view of the gravity
or tne charges against Mr. Plimley, he
could not be commissioned. The Presi
dent then withdrew the nomination from
the Senate. Concerning the withdrawal
of the appointment the following official
statement was made at the White House
by Secretary Loeb:
"In view of the investigations made by
the Treasury Department the President
has felt obliged to withdraw the name
of William Plimley for assistant treas
urer at New York, and this has been
done."
President Roosevelt then had a confer
ence with Senator Piatt. The Senator sug
gested the name of Hamilton Fish, of
New York, and the President agreed to
appoint him. Mr. Fish is a son of ex
Secretary of State Hamilton Fish. He is
prominent lawyer of New York. ex-
Speaker of the General Assembly of New
York, and a friend of President Roosevelt.
The appointment met the cordial approval
not only of Senators Piatt and Depew; of
Now York, but also of many other Sena
tors who are acquainted with him.
IMPOSED ON BY PLATT.
President Not Ashamed to Reverse
Action "When, He Discovers Error,
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March IS. The President today
withdrew a poor appointment that he had
been Induced to make by Senator Piatt,
of New York. The relations between the
President and Piatt have become quite
friendly and an understanding was
reached that, as long as Piatt would
recommend good men for Federal posl
tlons, there would be no interference by
the President with the New York machine
in making his Federal appointments. It
so happened that? many machine men have
been appointed and generally they have
been known as "Piatt appointments." It
was Piatt who appointed Plimley to be
assistant treasurer at New York, a very
important place, Tne nomination was
ruphed to confirmation and the commis
sion was almost In the hands of Plimley,
when violent protests from people who
knew Glimley held it up.
Upon investigation it was found to be a
very unfit appointment and, much as the
President regretted to displease Piatt, he
withdrew the nomination. This was a- case
where the President was too Impetuous,
as he sometimes Is regarding appoint
ments, and he sometimes is very much
Imposed upon by politicians. The import
ance of the place merited more consider
ation than Was given it. but the President
was willing to retrace his steps when he
found he had made a mistake.

tee will not meet again during the pres
ent session, this action will Insure failure
of confirmation for the present session.
