Five Repub licans and one Independent candidate were elected to the House of Delegates. The other 33 members elected are Demo crats. Tbe Democrats elected their six candidates for the. City Council. The Re publican and "Democratic nominees for the Board of Education were elected, and ine Democratic nominee for Inspector of Weights and Measures won.

Throughout the state the Democrats lost in three third-class cities that they for merly controlled, but made enough gains in others fully to preserve their plurality. In St. Louis interest was centered In the Council ticket, which was headed by tbe so-called reform ticket, on which the names of Republicans or Independent can didates took tbe places of some Demo cratic candidates, for the House of Dele gates in an effort to eliminate from the House the so-called "combine" element. In several strong Republican wards the Democrats elected their men. While the action Itself of the new mem bership of the House of Delegates will alone determlno the result of the reform movement.

I IE PILLOflY Persecutors of Dreyfus Exposed Again. UPROAR IN THE CHAMBER The Socialist Leader Extorts Promise of Investigation AS . TO SUPPRESSED LETTER PelUeux'a Bitter Reproaches Against O facials Were Kept Secret Guilty Minister Tries to Explain, but Clamor Drowns Ills Voice. The whole Dreyfus scandal has been reopened" by the French Chamber of Deputies. ' This was brought about by M. Jaures. th Socialist leader, who exposed 'the. suppression of a letter written by. Gen era! Pelllenx to M. Cavalrnac. "Minis ter of War la 1S08, asking . to be re tired. The government promised an investi gation, and when Caralxnac tried to " explain be was silenced - with clamor. PARIS, April 7. It seems that the de bate In the Chamber of Deputies yester day and today, which resulted by a vote of 281 to 225 In the Invalidation of the election of the Nationalist Deputy Syve- ton, is likely also to lead to the reopening of the Dreyfus case, and perhaps to the rehabilitation of the former prisoner ot Devil's Island. This Is mainly due to two facts, brought out by tbe Socialist leader, M. Jaures, in the course ot the debate. One is a falsified document bearing the alleged annotations by the German Em peror, which were forgeries and which helped' to convict Dreyfus, and the other Is that the letter written by General Pel lieux to - M. Cava! gnat, when the latter was War, Minister in 1S38.. was suppressed. .-inis, iur was written just, alter too an eoyery. of Colonel Henry's forgery, and reads as follows? "Duped by men without honor, unable any longer to .count On" the confidence- of my subordinates, without which' it is im possible to command, and on my side being unable to feel confidence in those of my chiefs, who have made me work with forgers. I ask to be "retired." M. Jaures' speech in the chamber con stantly lashed the Nationalists to the highest pitch of fury, the chamber re sounding with cries of "traitor," "liar." "go to Berlin," and other shouts, drown ing the speaker's voice. M. Jaures finally concluded with the assertion that "the Republicans have the right to condemn this abominable campaign against the re public, and to demonstrate to the declin ing Nationalist party that Its attitude to day cannot excuse its evil deeds of yes terday. II the chamber tolerates it, it will be a stigma on our conscience and the chamber of our regime." M. Jaures had hardly left the tribune before War Minister Andre plunged into the midst of the bitter, angry debate then proceeding, and announced that the government was ready to open an admin istrative inquiry and aid in the "widest investigation of the truth regarding the Dreyfus case. General Andre declared that the honor of the army was not In volved, but that the conscience of the country was greatly disquieted by the ap pearance of extenuating circumstances In the Judgment on a crime ot the nature of which Dreyfus .was accused. He said he did not wish to take sides, but was ready to proceed with an investi gation, and he would seek the assistance of Magistrates in the examination of the dossiers. The remainder of the debate was mainly taken up by ex-Mlnlster of War Cavalg. nac, who attempted to explain the sup pression of General Pellleux's letter. This gave the Socialists an opportunity, of which they fully availed themselves, to adopt tbe tactics of the Nationalists and drown the speaker's voice. After the Invalidation of M. Syve ton's election had been voted, the debate was continued on various orders of the day. which were postponed. Finally one was adopted by 20 votes to 75, declaring con- fldence la the government and the deter mination of the chamber not to allow the Dreyfus casa to pass from the Judicial domain. The chamber then adjourned. The vote was a great triumph for M. Jaures. COMBINE AGAINST AMERICA. German Agrarians Agitate for Eu ropean Customs Union. BERLIN. April 7.

CHANGE FROM SILVER TO GOLD. Bond for Chinese Indemnity to United States liny Denies Story. PEKIN. April 7. The American financial agent at Shanchal recent! v submitted to the international financial committee a bond for American Indemnity to be pre sented to the Chinese representative for signature. The committee declined to present the silver bond, whereunon the United States financial agent forwarded It direct, to the Chinese representatives. In formation received from other than Amer ican .sources is" to the effect that the United States has withdrawn the nilver bjind and la preparing a substitute on a Cola basis. There la a strong feeling among other Legations against America breaking the concert, particularly as the Chinese ad mit officially, as they have always ad mitted privately, that the debt Is on a geld basis. The American policy is In tensely unpopular with all classes of Americans in China. WASHINGTON.

The United States for a long time has favored the adjustment of the difficulties on A silver basis. REDUCE OFFICERS' EXPENSES. British Army Wants Men of More Brains, Less Boodle. LONDON, April 7.

SO ARE CABINET MEMBERS One Note Sounded in AH Recent Speeches BY ROOSEVELT, ROOT AND SHAW i "Iosva Idea" la Classed as Democrat, le Doctrine Nothing to Be Done Till -After Election Protected Industries Relieved. The recent speeches ot President Roosevelt and members of his Cabinet are taken to mean", that tariff revision is to be postponed until after the Presidential election. The same note runs through the speeches ot the President and Secre taries Root and Shaw. The Iowa Idea is regarded as Demo cratic doctrine. This is the Interpretation put on the speschea by a member of thv Cabinet, OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. April 7. No portion of President Roosevelt's speeches has caused as much discussion as that relating to the tariff. The high protection papers of the East assert that the President's declarations mean that the schedules are not to be touched. The "more moderate protection papers say that "Such revision as is necessary will be made In due time." The opposition papers and those which have always been opposed to high tariff Inter pret the speeches to mean that it is no part of the Republican programme to change the tariff' at all. A member of the President's Cabinet, discussing the speeches with, a newspaper man. declares that a very significant summary can be made ot what has happened during this Presidential trip. He says: "Th President himself has made two speeches, against tariff revision. He won't direct to the territory where the 'Iowa Idea is supposed to prevail. In both speeches he struck straight out from the shoulder and he rang the bell twice. Sec retary Root sounded the initial note in Boston. His text was, 'No Tariff Revi sion.' and he also rang the bell. Secretary Shaw built a speech on the same text, which he delivered In Peoria. Ill- The bell was rung again. Senator Allison, of Iowa, permitted himself to be interviewed In Chicago. He. too, said, 'No tariff revi sion.' Mr. Bryan, In a speech in Dea Moines, welcomed Governor Cummins to the ranks of Democracy, and Indorsed his idea as proper Democratic doctrine. Harmony Aaralnst Revision. "Now. what Is the summary T The Root speech and the Shaw speech were read and approved by the President before they were delivered. The President's utter ances have been indorsed by the members of his official family; the Administration is working in absolute harmony. Tha President's unquestioned stand at this time on the tariff, and his clear and fear- ,less enunciation of this position right in the territory whence come the mutterings of a different desire, together with the unanimous backing which he la receiving from his Cabinet, and the hearty approval of his auditors, constitute a development of the first week of his trip calculated" to do much toward settling conditions in the public mind, and assuring the continuance of that prosperity. It means that the tariff reformers masquerading under the guise of Republicans will have to become classified under another name or wel comed back Into the ranks of the Democ racy, as Governor Cummins has been by Bryan. The Republican party, with Rcosevelt at Its head, will stand for no tariff revision, at least until after the next Presidential election. This Is the lesson to be learned from the developments of the last week." Not Till After Election. Whether the members of the Presiden tial family correctly Interpreted the Presi dent's view or not. it seems as, good as settled that no attempt will be made to revise the tariff until after the Presiden tial campaign. This Is upon the authority ot Senator Allison before be left Wash ington, who said that. If revision was' to bo considered at all. It would be In tha short 'session following the Presidential clecton. It Is believed that the President's speeches will strengthen him with the cer tain element of the party which feared that he might g.oo far In the matter of attacks upon the trusts and other pol icies. It Is asserted that the protected Industries will now be solidly In line for the President's nomination and electon, and that the Republcans will meet the Democratic demand for tariff revision, and fight" the next campaign defending the pro tection system.
