OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 26. (Staff Cor
respondence.) The big light for the seat
of Addison G. Foster In the United States
Senate came to an cad at a late hour
this evening, when Charles Sweeny sud
denly withdrew from the race and named
as the legatee of his strength Samuel H.
Piles, of Seattle. who will be elected on
the first ballot at the joint session to
morrow noon. y dfnf
The refusal of tMr. Sweeny lb buy his
way Into the United States Senate was
the primary cause of the unexpected cli
max, and as has been predicted since the
fight opened, the Spokane candidate re
tained a sufficiently strong hold on the
situation to name the candidate after he
decided to drop out of the fight himself.
As forecasted In yesterday's letter, the
climax came with a rush and was hast-
cned by the refusal of a number of mem
bers who were temporarily in the Foster
camp, but who had no Intention of stay
ing there, to vote for Sweeny as they had
agreed to do.
The Foster following, numerically the
strongest of any of the four prominent
candidates in the fight, has from the open
lag of the contest been regarded as an
chorage ground for a number of pirates
who were there not from any love for the
Senator from Tacoma, but because his
harbor gave them good holding ground
until they were ready to up anchor and
bear away to a prize.
Some Are Honest Gentlemen.
This harsh criticism, of course, does not
apply to a number of honest, incorrupt
ible gentlemen who. by virtue of geo
graphical location or friendship for the
Senator, would have remained with him
until the last without even the promise
of a postoffice. Land Office or Custom
House. Not all of these political free
booters were In the Foster camp some
of them were temporarily resting under
other Senatorial flags pending the time
when It would be to the best Interests of
all concerned for them to vote for Sweeny.
But Sweeny brought some new ideas
down to Olympla with him and he put
them into the practice on the day of his
arrival. He opened elaborate headquar
ters and there was plenty to drink and
smoke, and If some speculative Legislator
got too much of his paycheck on the
high card the Spokane candidate took
pleasure In staking him. to a meal ticket
and a few dollars. Beyond this point,
regardless of his Senatorial aspirations.
expenditure ceased, and that was what
made It hard for a number of men to
vote for Sweeny.
Artists in Hold-Up Line,
A close-range study of nearly all of
the Senatorial tights that have . been
pulled off in this city since "Washington
was a state has led me to believe that
not all of the hold-up artists are on the
highways, but nothing In the past Legis
latures has equaled the frank, free-and-easy
hold-up methods of a few of the
members of the present aggregation. As
an Illustration of what has brought about
the denouement that Is scheduled for to
morrow. I recall a conversation with one
af the members, who was suffering from
a bad cold and the rock-and-rye remedy,
a few nights ago.
"I tell you." said he. in a buret of
confidence, "Sweeny is not running this
thing right. Look at Blank, who is vot
ing for Foster. He hates the ground Fos
ter walks on. and he will never go to
Piles or Wilson. Sweeny could 'a had
him for $5000 at the start, but it will take
$10,000 now and if that Spokane gazabo
does not get busy very soon, it will cost
him more every day from now on."
This was only one of a number of cases
which were encountered by the Sweeny
men, and while the demands in the ag
gregate would have made no material
crimp in the pocketbook of the Spokane
millionaire, the principle Involved caused
him to decline the generous offers. Se
cure in the belief that none of the lead
ing candidates could be elected without
heir uutaUmcc tbcw patriots iave
holding off, waiting a purchaser. A ten
days struggle convinced Sweeny that the
game was not worth the candle tinder
such circumstances, and after the ballot
was taken at noon today, he decided to
throw his strength to Piles and end the
tiresome struggle.
Smith Arranged the Details. '
The details of the affair were arranged
by C J. Smith, acting for the King Coun
ty delegation, and George Baker and the
Stevenson brothers, who have been man
aging the Sweeny campaign, ilr. Sweeny
was not inclined to discuss the matter fur
ther than to recall an interview printed
in The Oregonlan last 'Fall, in which he
stated that If he could not be elected by
clean and honorable methods be would
not be elected at all.
Mr. Sweeny eeemed highly pleased over
the discomfiture of some of the members
who had neglected to climb into the
Sweeny band-wagon .before it rolled into
the Piles camp. He stated that he would
not bo a candidate for election four years
hence, and, whether he changes his mind
or not, he has made a long stride toward
popularity in Washington by the stand
he has taken in his brief experience as a
Senatorial candidate.
To say that the King County men were
pleased at the sudden change in their
fortunes is drawing it mild. Hardly a
man on the delegation would admit yes
terday that there was a chance to elect
Piles, and up to the very moment when
the conference over the transfer of the
Sweeny strength began they were serious
ly considering the advisability of dropping
him and giving John I. Wilson the eagerly-desired
opportunity to try what ho
could do with the King County forces.
Wilson Loses a Chance.
Had Sweeny remained in the fight they
would probably have given Wilson a try
out for a few days and had he shown no
greater strength tlian Piles, Judge Burke,
of Seattle, and ex-Governor ilcGraw were
slated to try their luck with the delega
tion. Negotiations leading up to the coup
were conducted very quietly, and it was
well on toward midnight before the Fos
ter people were in full possession of the
facts.
The Sweeny people met about 10 o'clock
and all signed the agreement to vote for
Piles on the first ballot tomorrow.
The ballot tomorrow will be the thir
teenth Joint ballot, and by a singular co
incidence it is the same unlucky number
on which Harold Preston, Seattle's can
didate, went down to defeat before the
Ankeny forces two years ago. The 28
Sweeny men who have been signed up to
vote for Piles will bring the Seattle man's
strength up to a total of 58 votes, and the
other ten necessary to an election will be
drawn from the Foster and Wilson
forces, where some of both the Sweeny
and Piles reserve force has been voting.
Foster Camp in Wild Alarm.
There was wild alarm In the Foster
camp when the news of the deal was
made public and telegraph and telephone
wires to all parts of the state were kept
hot in an effort to stay the tide, but to
all appearances the Plles-Uweony combi
nation has everything locked up so tight
that a stay of proceedings is Impossible.
There was but one ballot cast at the
joint session today, and .there was a gen
eral sigh of relief when a moderate de
mand for another roll call was voted
down. What might have happened on that
thirteenth ballot had It been cast today
will never be known, but all of the
forces were expecting a break in some
direction and each candidate claiming it
would be in his favor. There was no
change in the vote today, except that
Senator Earles, who on the second bal
lot yesterday voted for Foster, returned
to the Democratic fold and. with his party
colleagues, voted for ex-Senator Turner.
Twelve More Recruits.
At 1 o'clock this morning the man
agers of the Piles campaign announced
that they had secured pledges from 12
men who have been voting for Foster,
Wilson and Jones. This would assure
at least 70 votes for Piles, and his elec
tion Is generally conceded, although
Foster's managers have not yet aban
doned the fight. v
King County headquarters Is in t
wild uproar of joy, and so confident
are the Piles people that there will ba
no slip In the proceedings that they
have ordered a special train, brass
bands, etc., to carry the victorious can
didate home tomorrow afternoon.

GIVE THEM ADEQUATE PAY.
Senator Fulton Speaks Good Word for
Officers Who Train Militia.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, WashT
ington, Jan. 26. Senator Fulton took
occasion in the Senate today to protest
against the provision in the Army bill
cutting down the pay of retired officers
assigned to duty with the state militia.
"There Is no more important duty an
Army officer can perform." said he.
"than that which he performs in train
lng and organizing the state militia.
When this Government assigns an of
ficer on the retired list to active duty,
whether in the service of the state
mllltla or elsewhere, he is entitled to
have active pay. To reduce the sal
aries of these officers would deprive
Oregon, I have no doubt, of the services
of a very able Army officer who has
"been detailed to militia service in
that state, and who has done more to
build up the Oregon militia and make
it efficient than has the service of any
other man connected with It. I refer
to Colonel Jackson. It would be a great
loss to the militia organization in that
.state to be deprived of his services; The
Government should have charge of the
organization of the militia, and when
it assigns an officer to train it, this
Government should pay the salary of
that officer."

MANILLA Jan. 35. The leaders of the
band of ladrones which recently attacked
the town of San Francisco de Malabon
and captured the wife and two children

In response, to the request of Governor
General Wright, General Corbln will send

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 27. Despite
the fact that Thursday was a day of
calm in the Capital City, tbere is a
feeling of apprehension among the of
ficials. The danger Is not here in St.
Petersbyrg; the uprising in this place
is checked. The worklngmen have had
a lesson they will long remember and
the administration of General Trepoff
is strongly entrenched, but this is tbe
case only In St. Petersburg.
The outlying districts are hotbeds of
rebellion and reports of clashes have
been coming In since Thursday morn
ing from half a hundred different cities.
So far as can be learned, the number
killed was small and the Cossacks used
their knouts and not their sabers and
rifles in checking the disorder. But
the feeling was there, and the manner
in which the people cursed the emblems
of authority and the uniforms of the
troops all indicated the strongest of ill
feeling.
Prepare for New Move.
The authorities are apprehensive of
another uprising today. This fact be
came plain last night, when the news
became public that hundreds of .cipher

trict in Eurppean Russia. They were
addressed for the most part to Gov
ernors and Chiefs of Police and, while
their contents were unknown, they are
believed to refer to the rumored con
certed action of the revolutionaries
scheduled for today. Troops are being
hurried to every place where there Is
any chance of dJxorde.,- and 4t is cer
tain thr.t the Czar has decided to follow
but the advice of General Trepoff and
again rule with an Iron hand.
Trepoff Declares Purpose.
General Trepoff granted an audience
to a delegation of newspaper men last
night and discussed the situation in
the district of St. Petersburg with them
at some length. He made no secret of
his intention .to curb the "agitators,"
even though they should be compelled
to kill off half of the population of St,
Petersburg in doing so. He declared
that order had already been largely re
stored'; that many of the worklngmen
are willing to return, to work so soon
as they can be guaranteed protection.
Pressed by the newspaper men to
give them a list of the manufacturing
establishments that bad reopened and
which were in operation, he declared
that he could not do so, for the "list
was changing hourly."
"There is not one word of truth in
the report that I have threatened to.
deport all of the workmen who decline
to return to their lebors lind" send them
to distant villages, he continued. "That
story was circulated by the enemies of
the government. So far as the general
situation Is concerned I am not competent
to speak, and, in fact, I am talking now
absolutely from my own viewpoints.
No Concessions to 'Liberals.
"As regards St. Petersburg, however,
I can assure you thac order will not
only bo restored, but will be main
tained. On this the government is de
termined, and its resources are suf
ficient to accomplish this end. Unim
portant disorders .can, of course, be ex
pected from time to time, but I believe
the worst is over.
"I do not think that .there is any ne
cessity for any concessions being made
to the Liberals, and none are likely to
be. I see. no connection between the
Gopon movement and the Liberals, and
I consider both separate and distinct."
GOVERNMENT IS CONFIDENT.
Peace Restored in Capital, and Strik
ers Return to Work.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 27 (2 A. M.)
Although the strikes In Reval, Llbau,
Kleff, Odessa and a few smaller places
are extending, the situation 13 nowhere
acute. An Increasing number of work
men are out in Moscow, but there Is no
general tie-up or disorder there. The
whereabouts of Father Gopon still re
mains a mystery, although It is believed
he Is in Moscow.
The Russian capital presents almost a
normal appearance, and the authorities
are confident .that the backbone of .he
strike has been broken. Sqtne factories
and mills already have resumed, and a
general resumption of operations is ex
pected on Monday. w
The authorities expect that the failure
of the strike here will have a discourag
ing effect upon the workmen in other
cities to which the troubles have been
spreading, and believe that there Is no
longer danger of a complete suspension
of all the industrial concerns of Russia.
Minister of the Interior Svlatopolk
Mlrsky has promised a delegation of edi
tors who called upon him that he will
investigate the arrest of a number of
prominent writers who are now confined
In the St. Peter and St. Paul fortress

that any artist who didn't know enough

President Renews His Declaration
Against Race Suicide.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 26. Right Rev.
Bishop Doane, of Albany, and a com
mittee of the inter-churph conference
on marriage and divorce called on the
President today to confer with him in
regard to some of the results of their
deliberations. Bishop Doane delivered
a brief address to President Roose
velt, to which the President replied
as follows:
There is a certain tendency to exalt the
unessential In dealing with our public ques
tions, and public men especially are apt to
get their attention concentrated on ques
tions that have an importance, but wholly
ephemeral importance, compared with the
questions that go straight to the root of
things. Questions like the tariff and the
currency are of literally no consequence
whatever compared with the necessity of
having the unit of our social life, the home,
preserved.
While I do not know exactly what It Is
that you wish me to do. I can say in ad
vance that, so far as In me lies, all will
be done to co-operate with you toward the
end . yon have In view. One of the most
unpleasant and 'dangerous features of our
American life Is the diminishing birthrate
and the loosening of the marital ties among
the old native American families. It goes
without saying that, for the race, as for
the individual, no material prosperity, no
business growth, no artistic or scientific
development will count, if the race com
mits suicide. Therefore, bishop. I count
myself fortunate in having the chance to
work with you in this matter of vital im
portance to the National welfare.
