The Lewis and Clark Exposition project was successfully launched In "Washington tonight at the banquet tendered by Senator Mitchell to 52 Senators, Representatives and other men of prominence at the Highlands. As a net result ten Senators stand abso lutely pledged to vote for the pending Lewis and Clark bill, as do two Repre sentatives, exclusive of members of the Oregon delegation, and it is evident from the spirit in which the proposed legislation has been received by representative men that flattering results are to follow when the legislation comes formally before Con gress. Senator Mitchell's dinner was pro nounced one of the most successful held In "Washington In years. Not only was it a triumph in the caterer's art, but it suc cessfully appealed to men who are In a position to forward the Interests of the Portland Exposition, and won their hearty indorsement. It is apparent from senti ments expressed this evening that the great "West is united In its support of the Senators and Representatives from Ore gon. Launched under such favorable cir cumstances, the Oregon delegation will sea to it that the movement in behalf of the pending bill is pushed to a successful termination. Those Present at Banquet.

The, banquet, given ostensibly for the purpose of Introducing Senator Fulton, soon resolved Itself into a Lewis and Clark love feast. Shortly after Senator Mitchell In a speech presented his col league, and Mr. Fulton responded In a happy .vein. Senator Dolllver broke through the Xormallties In a brilliant Na tional Indorsement of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. He said that, having visited Oregon and the Pacific Coast and come to realize the future of tho commerce of the Pacific, he could not but pledge his own support to a bill that would prove an educator, and would enlighten tho entire country as to the conditions, prospects and opportunities of the 'extreme West, and especially in its relations with , the Orient. Congressman Grosvenor, of Ohio, a most influential member of the House, ex pressed himself as favorable to all ex positions, and promised his support to the pending measure. He said that In the past a few hundred thousand dollars had been appropriated for an exposition in Ohio, but through failure of the state to co-operate, tho amount had never been expended. He offered this as a starter for the Lewis and Clark Fair. Mitchell on Objects of Fair. Senator Mitchell rose to explain that In asmuch as the subject of tho Lewis and Clark Centennial had unexpectedly been brought into the discussion, he would ex plain the objects of the Exposition and the work that had already been done by Oregon and other "Western States a3 showing their good faith. This he did in a brief speech that was roundly ap plauded. Following this explanation. Senator Perkins stated that, in view of the vast Interests that would be benefited, his state had already pledged Itself to sup port the Exposition, and personally he was ready to co-operate with Senator Mitchell and his colleagues. Colorado's support was assured by Sen ator Patterson, of that state, who said he and his people wanted to give Oregon "whatever It wants." Senator Scott, of "West Virginia, unqual ifiedly, committed himself to support tho pending bill, and to vote for the full amount that was asked by Senator Mitchell. Sibley Is Converted. A notable feature of the dinner was tho conversion of Representative Sibley, of Pennsylvania, who two years ago had publicly announced he would "never again vote for appropriations for expositions. The Pennsylvania man said he had be come convinced that the Lewis and Clark Exposition was not to be a local affair In any sense, but a timely educator that would benefit alike the East and tho West, and he, too, was ready to vote and work for It Like many who had preceded him, Sen ator Nelson, of Minnesota, in indorsing the Exposition, referred to the past suc cess of Senator Mitchell and Representa tive Hermann in securing appropriations for the rivers and harbors of Oregon. "But I am for the Lewis and Clark Ex position even more heartily than for ap propriations for your rivers and harbors," he said. "It presents great educational advantages, and great benefit to the whole American people Is certain to re sult. I hope the delegation will be more successful even than, it has been in the past in getting river and harbor appro priations." Senator Dubois, of Idaho, explained what his state had already done to aid in making the-Exposltion a success, and went so far, with tho approval of Sen ator Patterson, as to pledge tho united support of the Democratic party in tho Senate in behalf of the bill. North Dakota's interest was fully set forth by Senator Hansbrough, and the hearty co-operation of the delegation from that stato was assured.

ELL WILL L D Political Split With Piatt Is Healed. ROOSEVELT MAKES PEACE Warring New York Leaders Meet at White House, THE GOVERNOR HAS HIS WAY He Will Direct In Detail the Cam paign Next Year, and the "Ea,sy Boss" Will Control the State Organization. "WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. Senator Thomas C. Piatt and Governor Benjamin B. Odell, of New York, have reached an absolute and entire agreement politically. Both will work in perfect harmony with each other and with President Roosevelt. This, in brief. It Is announced, 13 the net result of a conference held at the "White House tonight. The parties to the confer ence were the President, Senator Piatt, Governor Odell and Chairman George "W. Dunn, of the Republican State Committee of New Tork. For several months it has been known that political differences existed between Governor Odell and Senator Piatt. These differences were of such a character as to causo concern in tho minds of their friends, although they; did not take the form of alignment of factions In New York State. They grew out of state ap pointments originally, and, it Is stated, practically were confined to state affairs. The fear was expressed by some friends of President Roosevelt that the trouble be- -rlween the Governor and Senator Piatt sooner or later might include National po litical features; but it can be said author itatively that at no time has either Gov ernor Odell or Senator Piatt wavered in his loyalty to President Roosevelt, President Urges Peace. Senator Piatt yesterday returned from New York to Washington, accompanied by Colonel Dunu. On Monday, by invitation of President Roosevelt, they took lunch eon at the "White "House. At that time the President expressed a strong desire that whatever differences existed between the Senator and Governor Odell should be adjusted. After the luncheon the Presi dent telegraphed to Governor Odell an invitation to come to "Washington to dis cuss tho New York situation 'with him and Senator Piatt. Governor Odell arrived here today in response to the invitation, and he and the other parties to the conference dined with the President at the "White House this evening. Tho President believed, in view of the numerous rumors about, it would be a good Idea to have Governor Odell and Senator Piatt meet him at tho "White House. The conference tonight was stated, after Its close, to have been more than satis factory. Senator Piatt and Governor Odell havo come to an absolute agree ment, and both will work in perfect har mony with each other and with the Pres ident, for the promotion of the welfare of the Republican party. The conference was concluded shortly after 10 o'clock. Gov ernor Odell "from the "White House went directly to tho Metropolitan Club. He de clined to make any extended comment on COMMISSIONER OF EUGENE a tho conference, but, pressed for a state ment; said: "A satisfactory and harmonious agree ment has been reached. Mattera at issue have been compromised and satisfactorily arranged." At midnight Governor Odell left for New York. Odell Gets All He Wanted. It is understood authoritatively that Governor Odell was accorded all for which he contended. The agreement reached to night Is of such' a character that It Is not considered now that tho necessity for fu turo conferences will exist. It can be said that Senator Piatt will continue as the leader of the New York State Republican organization, but Governor Odell will di rect in detail the campaign in New York next year. Senator Platt declined to discuss in any way the results of the conference, but It is understood they were entirely satisfac tory to him. Colonel Dunn confirmed the statement that a satisfactory agreement of tho Issues had been reached, and he added that all the Republicans in New York State would work In harmony for the success of the National and state tick ets. "You will observe," said Colonel Dunn, figuratively speaking, "that there has been a lot of hot bricks thrown around, but they havo not been bitting anybody." Colonel Dunn will leave for New York tomorrow morning. Both Senator Platt and Governor Odell have announced their desire that President Roosevelt next year should be nominated and elected. It can be stated, however, that at? the conference tonight the subject of National politics was not considered, except in so far as New York State politics naturally merged into National affairs. HE CAN BANK ON IDAHO. Roosevelt Will Be Strongly Support ed, Says Morrison. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington, Nov. 24. Governor John T. Mor rison, of Idaho, who is In "Washington, was asked as to the political situation in Idaho. He replied: "The state Is overwhelmingly Republi can, overwhelmingly for Roosevelt The policy of his administration is cordially approved, and what is doing more than all else to solidify the people In their party attachment Is the aid to Irrigation. "With Irrigation, the prosperity of our section is put on a sure and permanent basis. "We have an abundance of water, and when, through reservoirs the Gov ernment will build, that water can be saved and turned upon our rich lands, there can be no such thing as a failure of the crops, but Instead each succeeding year will see greater crops and larger profits to the owners of the soli."

PITTSBURG, Nov. 24 Senator John Foraker, while here to attend the Cham ber of Commerce banquet tonight, said Roosevelt would be nominated without any opposition, and that he will he elected President.

Ware, Commis sioner of Pensions, will retire from that office by about the middle of November next, and will return Immediately to tho practice of law in Kansas. His contem plated action Is generally understood among Kansas politicians, and has been the subject of several Interviews with tho President, which have been kept se cret. The decision U resign and return to private life is the result of Mr. Ware'3 long-felt dissatisfaction with the nature of the duties of his office, a feeling that has grown steadily since the early days of his administration of that bureau. Mr. Ware has steadfastly refused to dlscuj3 the matter when asked for Information en the subject, despite: the general under standing among those In a position to know, and tonight declined to admit he has or ever had any intention of tender ing his resignation. Mr. Ware's acceptance of the office last Spring created much surprise at the time. He had a law practice that was one of the largest In Kansas, and it brought him considerably more Income than his salary as Commissioner of Pensions. He had not been in office long before he began to feel the effect of the large amount of routine work that devolves upon the- head of the office. Mr. Ware has Insisted on the expedition of the work of his bureau and Improvement of the standard of service performed by the personnel of his bureau, and It Is said to bt probable that the work of the office will be brought up to date by the first of July, the beginning of the next fiscal year. Despite the secrecy with which the pro posed change of the head of the Pen sion Bureau has been guarded, a number of candidates already have developed. Ex Representatives Blue and Peters, both of Kansas, have been mentioned In connec tion with the successorshlp to Mr. Ware. CAN PRODUCE THE PLAY. Manager Conreid Defeats Heirs of Wagner in Suit Over "Parsifal." NEW YORK. Nov. 24. Judge Lacombe, In the United States Circuit Court, today declined to grant the Injunction asked for by Coslma Wagner and Siegfried Wagner, heirs of the late Richard Wagner, restraining Manager Heinnch Conreid from producing the dramatic festival play "Parsifal." In addition to the many legal points presented by counsel representing Mrs. Wagner and her son In support of his contention that Manager Conreid's production in New York would be illegal, the lawyer appealed to the court to pre serve the sacred atmosphere with which the widow and son. surrounded the com position and prevent its production on any stage other than that at Bayreuth. Ex-Judge DIttenhoefer, representing Mr. Conreid, declared . great many of the sentimental claims mede by plain tiffs' counsel were not founded upon fact, and established the fact by affidavits that the great composer himself had parted with at least the publication rights of the play for a consideration of 77,000 German marks to the firm of R. Schotte Sons, Malnze. TEREEETC EXPLOSION IN MINE. Lamp Ignites Gas and Thirteen La borers Are Killed. FORT SMITH. Ark.. Nov. 24.
