INSURGENTS BROUGHT IN LINE New tfiirs Will Be Sent to Commit tees to Be Brought Up at Regu lar Session -Scramble for Committee Places. OREGONLVN EJWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nor- S".--The special session of Congress that meets Monday will not at tract th attention that usually centers in extraordinary" sessions of the National Legislature, for the reason that the busi ness to be transacted between now and tae convening of the regular session In lceTnber fras been planned In advance, and will be. carried out to the letter. Con gress meets tomorrow for a single pur poseto enact legislation making immedi ately operative tbje reciprocity treat with Cuba 1&at w,as ratified by the United States Senate last March, and was later ratified by the Cuban Congress. Beyond this, no "actual legislation will be passed, although, of course, the sessions of both Senate and House- are likely to be en Jrwened by more or less oratory on Ir elcvark topics. Keep MeKinley Promises. "When Congress, at the special session, shall have passed enabling legislation so modifying the provisions of the Dlngley taritt Jaw as tq meet the terms of the Cuban treaty, the Administration's Cuban policy will have been carried out, and this Government wd have kept promises made to Ctfua by President MeKinley, promises that he, at the time of his death, bTtd been unable to fulfill. Tfeexa is no longer any doubt about the passage of the Cuban legislation that is to be brought forwapd. The "Insurgents," ' who in the last Congress were able to do feat fee Cuban reciprocity bill, and later prevent the ratification by the Senate of tba Cuban reciprocity treaty, have come into fine, and beyond a few possible bel ligerent epeBchos-o opposition of note is oijrccted to develop. As an example, Rep rvwntetlve T J Jones, of "Washington, who, -with his colleague, Cushman, was a most active opponent of the Administra tion's Cnban policy in the 57th Congress, comes hjiclc to the National capital ready to nppo' t the President. During the re fss he foupd, to his surprise, that the people of his state favored Cuban reci procity, and. more than that, ho has care fully cad the dictates of the last Republi can platform aflopted by the "Washington Start ReptfbllcanE, and Js willing to abide by the wishes at his constituents. So, like wise is Cushman. And what happened in "Washington happened in the states of other Republican "bolters." They are now ready to support the treaty legisla tion, wen though they may not personally deem it wise. Organization Will Be Slow. The fact that Congress meets a month earlier than usual does not mean that it will compMsry organize this early. On the contrary, it Is not probable that com plete organisation will be perfected until the fore part qf December. It is not be HeveA that the committees of House and Senate will be named until after the reg ular session convenes on March 7. There is no necdsslty fop organizing the com mittees at fhis time, aside from those com mittees that must consider the proposed Cuban legislation. This means that the ways and mean and rules committees of the House win be formulated by Speaker Cannon "qrithln the next few days, and possibly the finance and foreign relations conrmittoes of the Senate may demand nn opportunity to take up this legislation then it comes from the House. Aside from this, there wfll be no necessity for committee work, save on the auditing of traveling accounts of Senators and Representatives. If the pressure for travel allowance is sufficiently great the audit ing committees may be organized, to fa cilitate these payments. It is expected that there will be a flood of new bills (hiring the special session, and Jf so, they will be referred to appro priate ebmmlrtee.s to wait until the two houses regularly organize in December. There 5s a. general belief that inasmuch as no actual work, aside from Cuban legis lation, can be performed in the special session, there is no necessity for form ing the committees. Bills that are intro duced at this tlihe, therefore, will re ceive no consideration during the month of November. Scramble for Committees. Committees of the Senate are made up by a sjecial committee of Senators; Hoube committees are -made up by the Speaker. There Kaj been a. tremendous scramble for the desirable vacsneies on the more prom inent Senate committees throughout the Summor, and Senators seeking specific places are filing and have been filing num berless indorsements to support their claims. The same Is true" of the House. "While It is figuratively true that the committees of the House die with each Congress, yet it is a fact that the com mittees are in effect as much a continuing body as are the committees of the Sen ate. ThoEe re-elected Congressmen who vrene menVbr of the choice committees of the &tth Corfgress. are very likely to retain their oU places in the 5Sth, and Speake -Cannon, like the special com mltte of the Senate, will be required to flD vacancies." rather than make up an entire new committee slate. The new members have becwi able to see what va cancies are to be filled, and have gov erned their requests accordingly. There has never been an official an nonncement that the committees of Sen ate and. House w ould not be made up un til the regular session. but this conclu sion has been fnerally reached, by close observer of Congressional matters. The known policy of Speaker Cannon to hold down legislation, &nd particularly appro- priations, In the session prior to the Presl- dentlal election would lead to the con clusion that he -will do everything: In his power to prevent what he may regard as unnecessary legislation, and a very ef fective way of doing this Is to delay as long as possible the organization of com mittees that must consider legislation be fore it goes before the House. As the Re publican leaders are In sympathy with Cannon's policy, there is the same reason for expecting delay In the organization of the committees of that body. FOUR BRIEF SESSIONS. First Week Will Be Devoted to Pre liminaries. "WASHINGTON, Nov. S. The first week of the extra session will be devoted to the usual preliminaries of a new ses sion of Congress. The programme for the week. Is to have four brief sessions and an adjournment on Thursday until the follow Ing Monday. Tomorrow there will be the usual roll call on Senators and the proclamation calling the extra session will he read. Then will follow the appointment of a committee to notify the President that a quorum of the Senate has met and is ready to receive any communication he has to make. On Tuesday the President's message will be received and read. Ad journment will follow its reading, as a caucus of Republican Senators is to be held In the afternoon. "Wednesday will be devoted largely to the Introduction of bills, and Thursday will he a short legislative session, unless discussion of the Panama situation is precipitated by the introduction of reso lutions asking for Information. It Is the intention of Senator Morgan to intro duce resolutions on the subject, and these may be discussed under the rules on the day following their presentation. The Republican members of the Senate will Interpose no objection to a discus sion of the Panama and canal questions, but it is not unlikely that any action will be taken until after the committees are appointed. PROGRAMME IN THE HOUSE. Cannon Will Be Made Speaker and Appoint Committees. "WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. The House of Representatives will be called to order at noon tomorrow by Alexander McDow ell, the clerk. The opening of Congress always is of sufficient Interest to attract a much larger crowd to the Capitol than the galleries will accommodate, so ad mission will be by card, two being sup plied to each member. There will be the usual floral displays to lend plcturesque ness to what necessarily will be a rou tine proceeding. The proclamation of the President convening Congress in extraordinary session having been read, prayer will be offered by the chaplain and then the roll will be called by states. Mr. Cannon, who has been selected as the unanimous choice of his party for Speaker, will be formally elected. After the oath of office is administered to him by the "Father of the House," a title bestowed upon the member who has seen the longest continuous service, the Speaker will administer the oath to the members generally. The old officers of the House having "been made, the nominees of the Republi can caucus will be re-elected and sworn In. Speaker Cannon will appoint a com mittee of the Senate to notify the Presi dent that a quorum of the two Houses has assembled and that Congress is ready to receive any communication he may desire to make. After adopting resolutions agreed on in the Republican caucus, making the rules of the 57th Congress, the rules of the 58th Congress and fixing an hour for the convening of the daily sessions, the drawing of seats will take place. The necessary preliminary work being dis posed of, the session In all probability will adjourn out of respect to the memory of members who have died. On Tuesday the House will listen to the President's message. For the remainder of the week little can be accomplished, but it Is understood to be the desire of the House leaders that consideration of the question of reciprocal trade with Cuba be pushed as rapidly as possible. It is said to be probable that the com mittees of the House may be named at this session, but it is said that not much headway can be made in the matter of complete organization of the House within two or three weeks, and that lit tle will be attempted In the way of gen eral legislation until after complete or ganization has been accomplished. CUTTING-DOWN GIANT TREES. Government Urged to Buy From Cali fornia Owners. "WASHINGTON, Nov. S. In his annual report Captain Charles Young, acting su perintendent of the Sequoia, and General Grant National Parks, of California, in which many giant trees are located, urges tho acquisition by the Government of the land in those parks, now owned by pri vate individuals. In Sequoia Park there are many large tracts thus owned, and after waiting In vain for years for the Government to purchase their property the owners are beginning to sell off the large timber. Captain Young says: "Tho owners have cut them by the wholesale, and put the lumber upon the market, and where once was a fine for est of magnificent giants, there now is but devastation and ruin in the shape of stumps and sawdust piles. It is but Just to the owners and for the best interest of the Government that the purchase of these patented lands within the parks be authorized by Congress if the parks arc to be continued." He says the lands can be secured for reasonable prices. Captain Young says game is increasing. TO SPY OUT THIBET. Younghusband's Expedition Backed by Three Thousand Troops. CALCUTTA, Nov. S. Colonel Young husband's proposed expedition to explore Thibet, and, If possible, penetrate to Lhassa, the capital, is being shrouded in a great deal of mvstery. An enormous quantity of supplies arc being transport ed to the frontier, while 3000 troops at Lucknow are being prepared to partici pate in the expedition. N Great hopes are built on the expedition. Colonel Younghusband being a gold medalist of the Royal Geographical So ciety, his work In China and Turkestan having been of Immense benefit to the world at large. Thibet Is probably the most difficult country In the world to penetrate, Lhassa being considered inaccessible. So far as known, but three persons from the out side world have ever succeeded in reach ing there. Two of these were eighteenth century missionaries, while the third was a Russian explorer. Boundary Decision Final. OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 8. Hon. Clifford Slfton, one of the Canadian representa tives on the Alaskan Boundary tribunal, returned to Ottawa today. The decision rendered by the commission must be ac cepted as final, he said, no matter how Canadians might feel about the Justice of the award. In his opinion It was proved beyond doubt that the Portland Canal ran to the north of Pcarce, Wales, Sltlanan and Kannaghunut Islands, thus entltcllng Canada to all four and that the boundary line should cross the range of rcmntans nearest the sea. As to the Lynn Canal, It was his judg ment that the acquiescence or Great Brit ain In an act of occupation by the United States made it difficult to expect a de cision favorable to Canada. An all-Canadian route from the Inte rior to the coast would be, he believed, the ultimate solution of the question. RUDE JESTS FATAL Two Victims of College Fra ternity Initiation. SENSELESS STUDENT BY DEAD Bodies of Two Students in Dental College of the University of Maryland Covered With Bruises. BALTIMORE, Nov. 8. The police are Investigating the death of Martin Loew, 27 years old, a student In the dental de partment of the University of Maryland, whose lifeless body was found today In his room at his boarding-house. His roommate, Ephralm Stone, 23 years of age, was lying unconscious beside the bed. Loew Is from Silesia, Germany, and Stone hails from Cape Town, South Africa. Loew, it is said, has relatives In New York City. His body is at the morgue. It is said that the men were initiated last week Into the PI Psl Chi, a college fraternity. From bruises on the bodies of the two men it would seem they had been roughly handled, whether from the Initiation or otherwise is not known. An inquest and post mortem examination will be held tomorrow. Stone has been removed to the Mary land University Hospital. He has re gained consciousness. It is reported by the physicians, but they will permit no one to see him. He is said to be In an improved condition tonight. Stanley B. Smith, of St John, N. B., president of the fraternity, was arrested tonight on the technical charge of as sault. Twenty-five members of the so ciety have been cited to appear before the Coroner's Jury to testify. Late tonight Stone made a rambling statement as to the experience of him self and Loew during last night. Neither was physically able to assist the other, he said, although each thought the other was dying In great agony. He claims that the bruises on the bodies of himself and Loew are due to "hazing" by their classmates, but ad mits that he and Loew had been recent ly initiated Into the Phi Psl Chi frater nity.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8. The noVth west gales that have been blowing along the Northern California coast have made things exceedingly uncomfortable for many of the coasting vessels, some of the steamers faring no better than the schooners. The steamer Aberdeen, arriv ing today from Portland, reported that on November 5, during a severe gale, she passed through a large quantity of railroad ties and lumber at a point off Umpqua. The schooner Mary Dodge, sailing from here on the 5th for Eureka, put back to port on account of the carrying away of her Jlbboom on the 7th, early In the morning, five miles northwest of Point Reyes, in a heavy Northwest squall. Other small coasters that were in the big blow are still to be heard from, but It Is not believed that any of them suf fered serious mishaps. Wants St. Nicholas Bones. ROME, Nov. S. The Russian General, Ragdasovltch, has offered the sum of $515. 000 to purchase the relics of St. Nicholas, which are worshiped throughout Russia. They are now the property of the famous Cathedral at Barl, Italy, which was. vis ited by the Czar in 1B32, when he was Czarovitch. The authenticity of the relics Is dis puted, Venice claiming to have the bones of St. Nicholas. The Russians, however,' believe the relics at Barl to be genuine.

IJ SuUM I I I MEMBER OF WEYERHAEUSER SYNDICATE FAVORS POLICY. Says Creation of Forest Reserves Works No Hardship on Any body and Is Necessary. A party of prominent lumbermen of St. Paul, Minn., consisting of Frederick , "Weyerhaeuser, R. L. McCormick, F. H. Thatcher, "William Carson and A. E. Mc Cartney, spent yesterday in Portland. These gentlemen sepresent the "Weyer haeuser Timber Syndicate and are re turning from a meeting of the trustees of the syndicate held last week In Ta coma, at which the capital stock was Increased from 510,000.000 to $12,500,000. The party was taken for a drive through the city and was greatly Impressed with the growth and prosperity of Portland and Its Increasing importance as a com mercial center. In an Interview at the Portland Hotel last evening, R. L. McCormick, one of the trustees, said: "Our visit to the Coast at this time has no special significance beyond the fact that we held a meeting at Tacoma, elected some trustees and Increased our capital stock. "We have la.rge Interests In this section, probably 1,500,000 acres of timber land, and arc gradually increas ing our operations. Much of our prop erty lies along the Columbia River from Astoria to Klickitat County, and the river affords admirable facilities for hand ling the output." Mr. McCormick was reticent regarding the rumor that the syndicate Is pi;, ining the construction of a series of mammoth mills In Oregon and "Washington. According to report, the plan Is to construct mills capable of cut ting 100,000.000 feet annually for ten years, at which time It Is said the output will bo l.OOO.OOO.OrtO yearly. "I presume the Increasing of our capi tal Is responsible for that story," said he, with a smile. "We are not ready just now to announce our plans and I must give you an evasive answer. I will talk forest reserves, however, with great pleasure. I am a warm supporter of the Government's policy In the matter of protecting our forests, and most emphati cally favor the setting aside of tracts for scientific preservation and experiment. "There are two standpoints from which SALE ' DEPARTMENT PHOTOG APH ME FINE CHRISTMAS PRESENTS Our photograph albums have arrived. There are a lot of them.

The Government Is paying the the direction of Professor PInchot, the ablest scientific forester in the country. has set aside a large acreage of timber In these Pacific States and elsewhere. This is not the great hardship upon the people, which many scom to think. These lands almost without exception are un fit for agriculture, so the amount of available farming land is not lessened, Neither is the settlement of the coun- try retarded, for settlers can only inhabit tiuaDie or grazing lanas, ana as i nave said the reserves are neither. The re serves are in charge of competent rangers and the danger of forest fires is reduced to a minimum. The wholesale waste of the timber Is prevented, and this is of the greatest Importance, for the care- less and almost criminal destruction by individuals and lumber companies would soon exnaust even tne vast lorests 01 this Coast. The proportion of acres set apart is not yet. nor is it likely to be. great enough to prevent the man who desires to enter. land under the timber and stone act from doing so. There's no need to worry on that score. There's plenty yet for all. Not Withdrawn Forever. "Neither is this reserved .land to re main entirely Isolated and removed from commercial lumbering. When the Gov ernment Is ready and the timber Is ripe, quantities of It will be disposed of under proper restrictions, and in a way which can work no hardship on the Individual. When these reserves are necessary to supply the demand, certain portions of them will be logged off to supply such demand, but It will be done In such a way as not to reduce our forest land to unproductive wastes. "The other side of the reserve plan is the restoration of our forest growth. The Government has already undertaken experiments In replanting logged-oft sections and they bid fair to succeed splendidly. In Minnesota, for Instance, with her short, dry Summers and severe Winters, the growth of timber Is much slower than In the Gulf States, where the sap is 'up' the year around and the tree grows for 12 months In the year. In Minnesota it requires 100 jears to grow a log 18 inches in diameter, from the seed. In the Southern States and in this section such a growth la attained In 30 years. We lumbermen are not philan thropists and cannot afford to undertake to provide lumber for generations un born, but the Government, In Its pater nal capacity, must do so If her policy I is to be actuated by- broad statesman- A nateee0itit 15c iteaetsteeittt is a beautiful price . i salaries of these men but our syndicate Is putting up their expenses. In the South and on this Northwest Coast, tho process of restoration would be much more rapid and I hope to see the Govern ment's operations extended to both sec tions. "I am convinced that much of the j opposition to forest reserves is due to lack of knowledge and believe that the ( more one studies the matter, the moro iavoraoiy ne wm view it." The visiting lumber magnates will re main in the city until Tuesday, familiar izing themselves with the local situation. ..j-rd inpads sjn uo irp-iajso-C waq ii3nojqi TVKswff 'Dinnn u.-ii.itt to jarnain y. sri oum.
