THE MORNINg OREGONIA2T. WEDNESDAY, 'APEIL 13, 190. 'merelyi New York Will Formally Instruct for Him, BROOKLYN. HEN CAUCUS Tammany Now Alone Opposes the Judge. PEACE RUMORS IN THE AIR Murphy Will Support Jurist for President If Hill Will Be for McClellan for Gover nor in 1908. NEW YORK, April 12. (Special.) Del jgates to the National Convention will be formally Instructed for Judge Alton B. Parker and ordered to vote as a unit for him. Tonight Brooklyn's 63 delegates, whose attitude has been In doubt, met and for mally pledged themselves to Parker William Boyle, Tammany's Brooklyn dep uty, entered the caucus bound with oth ers. This leaves Tammany practically alone In opposition. There is a report afloat that at Fri day's primaries, Tammany will withdraw Its opposition and a resolution f indorse ment will be adopted by the State Con vention at Albany next Tuesday by a unanimous vote. The growing strength of the Hearst boom has alarmed the corporation lead ers, who .have been consulting Murphy this week. It Is reported tonight that he has made a truce with Hill. Tammany will support Parker for President, and Hill will support Mayor McClellan, Tam manyites' gubernatorial candidate, with the understanding that McClellan is to have New York's solid support in 190S for President Color Is lent to the story by the sudden collapse of the Brooklyn fight. Tammany absolutely controlled Doyle. His surrender looks suspicious. The unanimous indorsement of New York greatly advances -le Parker stock. The Hearst people are downcast, and ad- mlt the chances of their candidate are badly damaged. HEARST IS ROUTED OIney Carries Massachusetts Pri maries by Large Majority. BOSTON, April 12.

In the Democratic city primaries today the Hearst ticket parried 10 of the 15 wards and the supporters of Mr. Hearst claim 46 of the 71 delegates. Parker Leads in New Jersey. CAMDEN. N. J.. April 12. Democratic primaries were held tonight in the Third Congressional District to elect delegates to the State Convention. Eighty dele gates chosen are for Parker, 50 for Hearst POPULISTS SPLIT dN FUSION. Kansas Party Hopes for Peace by the Time the Democrats Meet. TOPEKA, Kan., April 12. The Populist State Convention met here today and ad journed without making any nominations. They will meet In Topeka again on Aug ust $ at which time an effort will be made to fuse with the Democrats. A state con vention of the Democrats will be held on the same date. The Mlddle-of-the-Road-ers strongly insisted on nominating a state ticket without reference to anything the Democrats wanted. The other ele ment tried to patch up a deal to nominate two Supreme Court Justices, Governor and one or two other state officers, have these indorsed by the Democrats at their con vention next August and then permit the Democrats to name the remainder of the ticket Adherents of this scheme were in the majority, but the opposition threat ened to bolt and nominate a straight Populist ticket In case such an arrange ment was to be made, and this killed it An effort will be made to adjust matters with the Democrats before the time of holding the next convention. The Mlddle-of-the-Road Populists are still outspoken In their determination to bolt if the fu sion plan is persisted in. About the only thing both elements agreed to was the resolutons. These re affirm allegiance to the last National plat form, condemn the Republican record In state and National affairs, and. demand the repeal of the state anti-fusion law. William R. Hearst Is indorsed. MONTANA INDORSES ROOSEVELT Republicans Also Stand by Carter, Although Turned Down at Home. HELENA, Mont, April 12.

(Special.) World's Fair Commissioners from 22 states, Including Oregonf met hero today and organized the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commissioners' Association. The primary object will bo to settle futuro disputes of commissioners with Exposition officials. Charles Reeves, chief of the department of domestic exploitation, speaking for the Exposition officials, declared his asso ciates would welcome any purely social organization that the commissioners might form, but positively would decline to deal with any commissioners except as individuals. A. Y. Ford, of Kentucky, moved, that the organization be made purely a social one, but this motion was lost, and Chairman H. M. Dunlap, of Illinois, appointed committees on organ ization, constitution and by-laws. The latter committee is composed of Messrs. Edward B. Marchand, of Oklahoma; George N. Kingsbury, of Philadelphia, and Paul Wilson, of Colorado. The former of Messrs. Carpenter, of Kansas; A. H. Winchester, of West Virgina; G. Y. Harry, of Oregon, and R. B. Hughes, of Kentucky. After a recess the meeting heard the report of the committee on constitution and by-laws, adopting tho name hereto fore mentioned, and declaring the object to be the promotion of the "social and other interests" of the commissions. Tho "other interests" include the relations with tho Exposition Company. Permanent officers were selected as follows: President H. M. Dunlap, Illinois; first vice-president E. B. Marchand, Okla homa; second vice-president W. F. Sperry, Colorado; secretary, T. W. Milan, Arkansas; assistant secretary, A. H. Win chester, West Virgina; treasurer, G. N. Kingsbury, Rhode Island. PRESIDENT "v7AITS 01TKN02U With the Cabinet He Again Goes Over Chinese Exclusion Matter. WASHINGTON, April 12. Chinese ex clusion and the probable necessity for leg islative or executive action, in view of the denunciation by China of tho existing treaty, was again today the principal topic of discussion at the meeting of the Cabi net The President and his advisers con sidered the subject in all its phases, but reached no definite conclusion, chiefly per haps because Attorney-General Knox has not been able yet to prepare his opinion as to the legal status of tho matter. As soon as tho Attorney-Ceneral shall have! aeciaea wneiner,m xus opinion, existing legislation relative to tho exclusion of Chi nese will be valid on the expiration of the treaty with China, some decisive steps will' be taken. If it should- bo determined that the legislation will lapse with tho treaty, then Congress will provide against a gen eral Chinese immijrratlon by the inser-f tlon in a pending appropriation bill of an J amendment covering the subject It seems probable from the tone of the discussion of tho Cabinet meeting that an other treaty will bo negotiatcd between the United States and China. While tho9 present treaty will bo taken as a basl3 for me negotiations, it is probable that some of tho restrictions placed, upon the Immigration of Chinese may ba modified as to merchants and the higher class of Chinese. Coolie laborers and other classes of Chinese laborers will be excluded as rigorously as they are by the existing laws. " Will Affiliate With Federation. DENVER, April 12.

Tho detention of the Esnlegle after the timo originally eet for he'r departure Is understood to Indicate the unqualified ac ceptance by Great Britain of the estab lishment by the Russians of martial law at Nlu Chwang, her agreement to the plan for the protection of British Interests bere durliur the war, and the final resto- I ration of treaty rights. The departure of tho Esplegle removes a cause of embar rassment to the Russian authorities and .enables them to put into execution a sys tem of martial law consistent with the demands of tho situation. She was tho last foreign; warship at Niu Chwanc. the United States gunboat Helena having left tipr somn ten davs ntro. The last of the merchant steamers left Nlu Chwang today, and the shipping com- pan!es have notified their agents to send no more vessels hero. Consequently, It is expected that henceforward commerce will be practically at a standstill. The streets of Nlu Chwang are no longer light ed at night and tho movement of boats on, tho xlver at night Is prohibited. MAKAROFF AGAIN PUTS OUT. Torpedo-Boat Destroyers Will Ex- piore the Coasts.
