NEW YORK, "June 7. (Special.) In an
tectorial tonight, the Mail and Express
Bays:
"Oregon's reply to Democratic invita
tions to betray Its past is clear and de
cisive. At the election yesterday. Binger
Hermann, the preseai Representative
from the first district, was "elected over
&is Democratic opponent by at least 6000
-votes, and in the Second District Con
gressman "Williamson secures a re-election
ijy probably 10,000 votes over the opposi
tion candidate. This shows that the state
may be counted aa solidly Republican on
National Issues, for pluralities thus far
indicated are larger than for many years
.past. -
"The recult is all tho more noteworthy
because) In state matters the Democrats
were able to elect their candidate for Gov'
rnor in 1902, though by a plurality of
,276. This demolished a Republican plural
ity of 10,551 in 1898, the previous Guberna
jtorial election, and reversed McKlnley's
.plurality of 13,141 in 1900. The prestige of
this exploit was of little advantage to
Democrats at the election yesterday, how
ever. The state takes its stand in the
Republican column, tho first to declare it
pelf this year.
"It will be Idle for the Democrats to
ry to minimize their defeat. The Oregon
election was the first of tho year, which
had a bearing on National affairs; the
first to offer 'a line' on the result of the
coming Presidential contest. Its issue can
only dishearten the Democrats. It is
most helpful and hopeful to the Republicans."

delegates will depart for their homes
tomorrow.
UBERTT STILL DENIED HEX
NO COMFORT TO DEMOCRATS.
Oregon Is More Solidly . Republican
Than Ever.
NEW YORK, Juno 7. (Special.) In an
editorial tonight the Globe and Commer
cial Advertiser says:
"The Democrats q the country will
not be able to extract either comfort or
encouragement from the result of yester
day's election in Oregon. Four years
ttgo, In a precisely similar election, the
Republicans carried the state by a plu-;
rallty of about EOOO for the highest can
didate on the ticket, and by a plurality
of about 3000 in the First Congressional
'District, and about 9000 In the Second.
Now they are said to have a plurality of
18,000 in tho state, about 8000 in the First
Congressional District and about 10,000 in
the Second. It was deduced from the re--eult
four years ago that not only was the
etate certain for the Republicans in the
ensuing Presidential election, but that
the figures of the returns showed con
clusively that there had been no diminu
tion in Republican strength throughout
lthe country as a whole.
"It was thought that a change fa
Torable to the Democrats had been in
.progress In Oregon because the Demo
crats elected their candidate for Gover
nor In 1902 by 276, and because at a spe
clal election for Congressman- in the First
District in June of last year the Republi
cans had a plurality of only about 2000.
The result of yesterday shows that these
Democratic hopes were delusive, and that
the state and infercntlally the Northwest
tcrn section, of which it is a part, is as
.solidly Republican as it was In 1S96
Land 1900."
Woman With Turfman Young When
Shot Must Walt on Judge.
NEW YORk( June 7. Mrs. Nan Patter
son, who has been held In the Tombs
Prison In connection with the mysterious
death of Caesar Young, the wealthy
bookmaker, was today taken before Jus
tice Clarke, of the Supreme Court, on a
writ of habeas corpus. The courtroom
was crowded.
"When proceedings were begun. Attorney
Brown produced a copy "of the affidavits
on which the woman is held by the Cor
oner. Attorney linger, for Mrs. Patterson, re
ferring to the affidavit. Bald they were
confronted by a paper which purported
to be a return, but was in such shape
that he doubted that the District Attor
ney's office was responsible for It. He
then demurred formally to the return.
Mrs. Patterson never took her eyes
from her counsel's face as he was making
the argument, but she gave not the
slightest indication of nervousness or
anxiety over the outcome. From all her
demeanor showed, she might have been
one of the half-dozen women spectators
in the courtroom.'
Assistant District Attorney Sandford
said It would be a great pleasure to the
Coroner if he could discharge the woman,
but he could not under the pure Question
of law. The information had been laid
before him that a crime had been com
mitted. ,
The Assistant District Attorney went on
to describe the wound, and said the wom
an was the only one who was near the
dead man.
"The pistol was held so closo to the
coat that it could not have been held by
any one but the defendant or the dead
man, and. from the nature of the wound
the dead man could not have returned the
pistol to his coat pocket," said Mr. Sand-
ford, as he asked the court to dismiss
the writ.
Justice Clarke announced he would
take the papers and announce his decision
courtroom and Mrs. Patterson taken
through the Justices' chamber to the
street and in a carriage to the Tombs.
It is understood that the grand Jury
will be asked to take up the case tomor
row, in view of the possibility that Jus
tice Clarke may decide mat Mrs. Patter
son Is not legally held under her commit
ment by the Coroner. This commitment,
it is said, does not name the charge on
which she is held.
Detectives are slowly tracing the his
tory of the revolver which caused the
horseman's death. Around the ownership
of the weapon may revolve a solution of
the whole affair. Young's friends all as
sert that he never carried a pistol, and
the intimates of "Nan" Patterson declare
she had a horror of weapons.
Some progress has been made in tracing
the revolver, enough to indicate that it
may have been purchased in San Fran
cisco. It was manufactured in Spring
field, Mass., bore the factory number
75,050, was purchased by a firm here and
sold by them In 1S9S or 1S99. Tho firm's
records for those years have been de-
troyed, but the dealers express tho be
lief that the revolver was among a-lot
shipped to San Francisco. If this should
prove true, the owner of the fatal weapon
may be identified, as four of the persons
directly connected with the tragedy are
well known in San Francisco.
A strict search of the pawnshops, has
failed to develop any information which
would lead to the belief that the revolver
was purchased in this city, and tho de
tectives are hopeful that a valuable clew
may be obtained in California-
James Daoley, a deckhand, is reported
as having told a strange story regarding
the sale of his revolver to a stranger in
West Broadway, near the scene of the
shooting, a short time before Young and
Mrs. Patterson are known to have been
there. Ho asserts the man treated him
several times in a saloon, and upon learn
ing he nad a weapon, purchased it. say
ing he wanted to shoot a woman. Little
credence is placed' in the story

by B. F. Montgomery, ex-Speakep of the
House, put through a resolution Instruct

Hearst people won by a large majority,
but when the Hearst resolution came up
for ratification in the convention, it was
snowed under, the combined strength of
the delegates from the First District going

IGNORE REQUEST OF GRAY.
Delaware Democrats Instruct for Him
After a Hot Fight.
DOVER, . DeL, June 7. Contrary to
the expressed wish of Judge George
Gray, the Delaware Democratic State
Convention, by unanimous vote, today
Instructed Its delegates to the St. Louis
Convention- to present the name of
Judge Gray to the convention as the
choice of the Delaware Democracy for
the Presidency, and to work for his
nomination. This action was taken
after one of the most, stormy conven
tions ever held in the state.
The leader of the opposition of the
Gray nomination was ex-United States
Senator Richard R. Kenny, who was
opposed to the word, "instruct." He of
fered a resolution that the delegates- be
"requested" to place Judge Gray's
name before the National Convention.
The flght between the Gray and the
anti-Gray factions became sq "bitter
that the former paid no attention to
Judge Gray's letter, In which he asked
that the delegates be not instructed.
They fought to defeat Kenny and would
not listen to anything- that his support
ers offered.
The -National delegates "efected are
Wllllard Baulsbury, Irving Handy, R.
R. Kenny, Alexander A. Daly, Ellsha C.
Dukes and John P. Helland.
