After three days of prepared speeches,

last day of the session, and will wrestle
with resolutions. Yesterday's exercises
were confined to addresses by: David R.
Francis, of St. Louis; J. H. Richards, of
Boise; T. W. M. Draper; E. H, Ben
jamin, of San Francisco, and Roland D.
Grant, of Vancouver, B. C. This morn
ing, after the several remaining addresses
shall have been disposed of, the congress
will clear the decks for the resolution
"bombardment.
Immigration Resolution.
The most important resolution is that
calling for restriction of low-grade immi
gration from "Europe, Asia and Africa,"
intended to meet the Chinese exclusion
trouble by classirrg Chinese coolies with
undesirable Immigrants from other coun
tries. This resolution was fought out in
committee yesterday, and will make a
i- vvmivii again, luaay. Anotner j
important resolution to be reported by
rararaiuec is one caning for a Department
of Mines in the executive branch of the
National Government. Still others will
call on Congress to grant statehood to
3s ew Mexico and to Oklahoma.
Deepening the Columbia.
Another noteworthy resolution asks
Congress to appropriate adequate funds
for deepening the Columbia River bar.
This resolution was introduced yesterday
bv om Richardson, secretary of the Port
land Commercial Club, who endeavored to
have it adopted at once on suspension
of the rules, but L. Bradford Prince,
chairman, declared that the rules could
not be so suspended, much as he would
like to see it done in that partlcuIarVcase,
and the resolution, therefore, wasre
ferred to committee, which will report it
back today, without doubt, favorably.
The resolution will be adopted without
opposition, for the congress realizes fully
the commercial needs of the Columbia
Klver.
Xcvv Officers to Be Cho'sen.
New officers will be elected by the Con
gress today on recommendation of the
committee on permanent organization.
Which yesterday chose David R. Francis
to head the organization for the ensuing
year. The California delegation coveted
that honor for one of its own number,
H. D. Loveland. of San Francisco, who
was presented to the committee by J." E.
Tiaker, of Alturas, but the sentiment
was so overwhelming for Francis that
Baker withdrew the name of Loveland
and Francis was chosen by acclamation.
Objects to Osier Theory.
Francis was nominated by Edward E.
Yates, of St. Louis. Baker thought the
telectlon of Loveland would be better
than that of Francis because hig men
in control of the Congress would drive
out young men of energy, such as the
Conjcress verv much needed. "Rut Vnrtb
Dakota had an elderly spokesman named ;
waiiace, -wno tooK spirited exception to
Baker's Osier theory and said that whilo
young men were fit for war old men were
fit for war and counsel both. His oratory
turned the tide against Baker, and the
latter capitulated. John W. Noble, who
was frequently spoken of for President,
wag not nominated. The nominees for
other officers as chosen by the committee
has no opposition and will come up for
election by the Congress today.
Last night Yellowteone Park was the
subject of an Illustrated lecture by Barry
Buckley under the aueplces of the In
terior Department. The Fair Auditorium
was well filled with delegates and the
lecture was highly appreciated.
Speech by Francis.
The speech of Mr. Francis at the day"
session was extemporaneous and covered
a number of topics Including the St. Louis
Fair, Improvement of rivers and harbors,
and Chinese exclusion. The effects of
the Universal Fair at St Louis he said
would be long-lasting. The peace con
ference of the Russian and the Japanese
envoys, he .said, -was one of the effects,
for a peace conference of all nations had
been held within the Fair gates, and there
the way had been paved to international
good feeling la saich a -way that It has
DAVID
since been possible to bring together the
two nations warring In the Orient.
Standards of Competition.
"Standards of international competi
tion were fixed at the Exposition at SU
Louis," said the speaker, " and they -will
continue until another International Uni
versal Exposition shall be held."
But Mr. Francis doubted that another
such exhibition would be soon held or
so large and comprehensive a scale, where
representatives of all peoples of the earth

Exposition's Beautiful Setting:.
The speaker advortcd to the "beautiful

CIAL CONGRESS.
setting" of the exposition at Portland
and proceeded to discuss the work of the
Trans-Mississippi Congress. He suggested
that the congress would make Its influ
ence more felt if it would confine its
deliberations to fewer subjects. First of
the subjects that he considered important
was that of deepening waterways. The

most healthful regulator of railroads he
declared to be the water courses. It Is
a crime," he exclaimed, "to permit the
Missouri River to be unused as an artery
of commerce as it has been."
For Unity of Action.
The Pacific Coast and the Middle West
might well combine their effort for deeper
stroamB, he said.
One of the commerce barriers which
the United States had set itself to re
move was the uncut Isthmus of Panama,
which was to be pierced by the Panama
canal.
"I hope -to sea ocean steamers loaded
at St. Louis." he remarked, "and unload-
J od here on the Pacific Coast.
I "We of the West and of the Louisiana
j territory have done our full share toward
contributing to the wealth and glory of
j this republic, and we are entitled to full
j recognition from Congress. Our rivera
should be Improved and our harbors
deepened."
Restriction Too Restrictive.
Turning to immigration. Mr. Francis
said tho people of the United' States were
beginning to feol that Chinese restriction
was "too restrictive." As president of
the St. Louis Exposition, he had seen
tourists and intelligent visitors from
China subjected to the grossest indig
nities. "It would seem," he declared,
"that the persons enforcing the exclusion
law have attempted to make It odious to
the people of the United States. The
people of the Middle West do not demand
open gates for cheap coolie labor, but
they are anxious that the China trade
field be not Ignored when this country is
seeking markets for what it produces in
excess of its own markets.
Yet this country, the speaker said, de
sired to preserve its citizenship from riff
raff immigration from every country and
to receive none who would not divorce
themselves from fealty to the country
whenee they come.
For Department of Mines.
Three speakers urged creation of
I Mines and Mining, co-ordinate with the
j Department of Agriculture J. H. Rich
ards, of Boise, and T. W. M. Draper and
E. H. Benjamin, of San Francisco. Judge
! Richards asserted that mining was an
industry as creative of wcaitn as any in
the land. Said he:
I now believe as firmly a I believe in my
country and Its destiny, that a Department
of Mining wowM bring to the prospector, the
forerunner of promise, and the miner, that
sclettlftc Information concerning mineral
formations the character of various ore,
and their proper treatment to convert them
into a condition of wefulne that would
return to the American people a far richer
legacy than the Department of Agriculture
is bringing and will bring them. This co
operation on the part of our Government
may give prospectors Just the chance in life
they se richly deerve. and which may be
vital to their success in giving to the Amer
icas people the treasures of earth. It Is Just
as Important to the American people that our
Government prosecute this exhaustive geo
logical research in every mining district that
will make tht work of the prospector and
practical miner and the reducer of ores eas

scale In fruit trees, make elaborate experi
ments in the cultivation of tea. cotton, gralna
and grasses. No intelligent roan can doubt
the beneficence of such Governmental work.
A new impetus and dignity would be given
to mining through such a department, the
wholename effect of which would stimulate
all industry.
Strength of Mining Industry.
Colonel Draper continued the subject
on similar lines, saying that, though the
Government had done little to assist min
ing, the Industry had advanced by leaps
and bounds. Mr. Benjamin detailed the
large growth of production In all min
ora in the United States, and remarked:
"When we view the mining Industry of
our country as a whole, our amazement
grows Intense, and statistics become al
most incredible and bewildering. The
miners themselves have not fully appre
ciated the stupendous magnitude of the
industry in which they are engaged, or
the important part It plays In our Na
tional affairs; nor has the public realized
its marvelous growth and value"
Dr. Roland D. Grant followed with an
interesting address, "American Scenery
and Its Influence on the World's Travel."
Dr. Grant held his auditors more than an
hour, and their appreciation was keen.

"Good Roads," "Improvement in the
Consular Service" and "Immigration Con
gress at Denver" were the three addi
tional subjects of resolutions adopted'last
night by the Resolutions Committee of
the Trans-MlssIssippl Commercial Con
gress at its meeting at the Hotel Port
land. The meeting was held to receive the
report of the Sub-committee on Codi
fication of the resolutions already recom
mended for adoption, as published In the
Orogonlan. and the full report of the
Committee will be presented at today's
session of the Congress.
Those resolutions already presented
were adopted In full and the following
new resolutions were Introduced and re
ceived favorable consideration:
Consular Service: That the Congress
of the United States amend the exist
ing laws so that the merit system pre
vail in advancements without regard to
political preferment, so that those whose
only recommendation is a "political pull"
cannot 8tej over- Xhe heads of conscien
tious and deserving. servants of the Gov
ernment In foreign lands.
Good roads was the next theme under
discussion and a resolution was passed
recommending a uniform system of State
and County supervision in the construc
tion of permanent roadways.
A. J. White, of the Kansas delegation,
proposed a resolution for the abolish
ment of the Congressional Fall seed dis
tribution and recommending that- a more
adequate aid to the agricultural classes
would be secured by appropriating this
proportion of the National budgets to
construction of public roads.
A number of the members expressed
themselves as favorable to the measure
but no action was taken, the delegates
believing that this should be referred to
the National Farmers' Congress at Its
next meeting.
A communication from Denver, Colora
do, was read asking for an endorsement
fon a Western Immigration Congress to
be held in that city early In 1S0S. This
matter met with the unanimous favor
of the Committee and will, be reported to
the Congress this morning for final ac
tion. San Pedro Harbor, which has been
deepened through previous Influence of
the Congress. Is to receive further con
sideration as will also the harbor of San
Diego. A resolution, unanimously adopt
ed by the Committee, prays that the
Federal Government declare that San
Pedro and San Diego receive adequate
appropriations for their improvement.
All of the resolutions passed upon by
the Committee will be - reported as a
whole at the beginning of today's ses
sion of the Congress. They embody the
actual work of the Congress and are of
vital importance to the entire country.
The Trans-Mississippi Congress will at
Its closo appoint a standing committee of
seven, representing 17 States, whose duty
it will be to present the various resolu
tions to the Congress of the United
States and further the passage of legis
lation bearing upon these questions.
RESIGNATION IS GENUINE
C. D. Edwards Says He Forgot to
Sign Paper Sent Mnyor King.
C. D. Edwards, who was voted out of
the St. Johns Council last Tuesday night,
on his original-resignation, submitted and
then withdrawn several weeks ago, has
returned. He says that the resignation
he forwarded to Mayor W. H. King from
Mountalndale, Or., was genuine, and the
one that the City Attorney drew up for
him. but that In the hurry of mailing It
he neglected to sign it. Mr. Edwards re
grets the trouble his failure to sign the
paper has occasioned.
While he was absent his friends in the
Council. Councilmen Shields. Brlce and
Leggett, were fighting and sacrificing
themselves to hold down his seat.
They even submitted to arrest, and were
brought Into the Council chamber by
the Marshal, and then refused to vote.
All this was done for Mr. Edwards who
wanted to get clear of the wrangle
over his seat in the Council.
Monday night nxt Is the time fixed for
election of his successor, according to
the chnrtcr. A resident of St. Johns said
yesterday that the people were ripe for
an Indignation meeting, and that If a
successor was not elected and the Coun
cil does not cease Its child's play and
proceed into important business a mass
meeting of indignant people would be
held.

QUESTION OF
THE CHINESE
Compromise Resolutiorrls Re
ported by Committee
to Congress.
IS INDEFINITE IN - FORM
Calls for President to Appoint Com
mission "Which Shall Revise
Measure So" as to Admit
. Privileged Classes.
Whereas. American trade with China
Is at present suspended, and American
vessels are unable to discharge their
cargoes at Chinese ports and Hong
kong because of ' the refusal oC Chi
nese to handle American products;
and
Whereas. The present state of af
fairs Is understood to have been pro
duced by the Improper treatment to
which privileged classes of Chinese
have been subjected In the execution
of our laws prohibiting the admission
of ' Chinese laborers to the United
States; and.
Whereas, There are now seeking ad
mission to our country large numbers
of persons from Europe. Asia and
Africa, many of whom are apparently
undesirable and cannot be admitted
without endangering the high stand
ards of American citizenship.
Resolved. That the Trans-Mlsslsslppi
Commercial Congress, in convention
assembled, respectfully petitions the
President of the United States to. If
deemed expedient, reiterate the In
structions for proper treatment of the
privileged classes of China, to ascer
tain through the proper channels the
reasons for the present boycott, and
to appoint a commission to Investigate
and to report to Congress with recom
mendations for a comprehensive Immi
gration law, framed to remove from
the United States and our Insular
possessions all undesirable persons
from every country.
Debate on Chinese exclusion In the
Trans-MIssissIppl Congress will open this
morning on the report of the committee
on resolutions, which agreed yesterday
morning on recommending the adoption
of a resolution, to cover the Chinese ques
tion and other Immigration troubles to
gether. by a policy of excluding "all un
desirable persons, from every country."
and by appointment by President Roose
velt of a commission to frame an Immi
gration law for removal of "all unreason
able restrictions."
The resolution which the committee will
report this morning came from T. B. Wil
cox, of Portland, president of the con
gress, and was amended In committee In
two minor particulars, first by Insertion
In the third preamble of "Asia" where the
clause spoke of the many aliens who are
seeking admission from Europe and Afri
ca; and, second, by Insertion in the reso
lution for exclusion of such persons from
the United States, of "and Insular posses
sions." Debate May Be Lively.
The debate this morning promises to be
a battle-royal between those who favor
absolute exclusion and' those who cham
pion admission of merchants, students and
"privileged classes." The strict exclu
slonlsts are manifestly a minority in the
congress, but some of them have loud
voices. 9
Chinese exclusion has been the great
bugaboo, of the congress, and one which
the delegates approached most gingerly.
Almost every one of them seemed to fear
there was a brick hidden In the sock, but
the resolution finally presented by tho
subcommittee of the resolutions commit
tee, and finally adopted by the committee
as a whole at Its session yesterday morn
ing, was so vague in character and so
apparently meaningless in its generalities
that the members of the committee fairly
tumbled over themselves In their haste to
adopt It.
.
Texas Unalterably Opposed.
E. F. Harris, of Galveston, Tex., de
clared that his great state, represented by
two Senators and IS Congressmen, was
unalterably opposed to the admission of
any cheap foreign labor, but thaUthe res
olution, as presented to the committee.
was. so skillfully drawn and Its -wording
so attractive that he woula support It.
"It Is like voting for a beautiful wom
an," said he, "as a beautiful woman, or
rawer like a cordial indorsement of the
Lord's Prayer. Therefore, I shall yield
My Btaic is unaiteraoiy opposed to tne
importation of coolie labor, but I cannot
understand exactly where the line of de
markatlon is to be drawn between the
coolie proper and the merchant, student
or the so-called 'privileged class.' "
Ex-Governor Moore, of Washington,
chairman of the subcommittee, endeav
ored to explain the ethical niceties of the.
problem to the inquisitive gentleman from
Texas, and Mr. Tannahlll. of Idaho, fur
ther declared that a Chinese who could
read and write his own language should
be classed among the "privileged class."
"God forgive our ancestors for forcing
upon later generations the negro of Afri
ca," said John F. Wallace, of Bismarck.
N. D. "May God protect us from the in
fusion of Asiatic hordes upon the fair soil
of America at this later tlmel"
The resolution was finally adopted in
committee by a unanimous vote.
IMMIGRATION LIVE THEME.
Colorado Desires Congress of West
ern States to Consider It.
For a congress of western states to
consider Immigration, a resolution is
before the Trans-MIssLssippi Congress, in
troduced by John T. Burns of Denver.
Indorsing the plan of Governor McDon
ald of Colorado and President Packard
of the Colorado State Commercial Asso
ciation, for such a western gathering at
Denver in January".
Mr. Burns presented the resolution to
the committee on resolutions which will
take it up this morning.
"No more vital movement has been
suggested In the "West." said Mr. Burns
last evening, "and The Western Immi
gration Congress is bound to occupy as
great a place In the history of the west
ern states as The National Irrigation Con
gress now occupies. The new movement
will In no wise interfere with the Trans
Mississippi or the immigration congresses
but will work with both organizations fn
full sympathy and support of the Im
portant measures before those organiza
tions. The energies of the new congress
will be given entirely to matters per
taining to the Increase of population of
our states and will In a measure relieve
the other congresses of certain discus
sions that are now being forced upon them
by the fact that some such organiza
tions must take the initiative In all mat
ters of public welfare. ,
"The most definite need of this great
West Is people to till the soil and build
up commerce and our people In Colo
rado earnestly believe, that a properly
managed movement of this kind can
double the population of the states In
terested, In the next fifteen years. Sev
eral western Governors have personally
promlsed to take active part In this pro
posed movement and we hope that the
people of the entire West will recognize
the Importance of the work and will not
make It necessary to struggle so many
years for success, as was the ca.se with
the National Irrigation Congress."

T
THROW DOWN GAGE OF BATTLE
TO MAYOR IiAXE.
Have Friends and Relatives in the
Council and Are Not at
All Alarmed.
Seeing in advance what probably would
happen in the event Dr. Harry Lane
should be elected Mayor of Portland, spe
cial policemen are said to have combined
for' protection and supported candidates
for the City Council who would look out
for their interests.
One result of the precaution has cropped
out special policemen have close relatives
and warm friends In the Council now.
Any fight botwen Mayor Lane and his
lieutenants. It Is said, will be taken up by
the Council, and action taken that will
serve to protect the Interests of reliable
men now serving as "specials."
One "special." who has been on tho
force for a long time, has a cousin in the
Council; another has a brother-ln-luw.
while still another has an uncle. Nearly
all of the "specials" have warm friends
as Councilmen. and a hot fight is in pros
pect, should Mayor Lane and his advisers
decide to replace the present "specials"
with new men.
As previously published, the "specials"
allege that Mayor Lane is seeking to get
them off the beats now held by them, in
order to give their positions to others.
Some of the Mayor's accusers are so crul
as to suggest that It may be possible he
has Democratic friends who would not ob
ject to having positions as special police
men. There are beats that bring in pretty
good returns for special policemen. It Is
said there are at least 50 beats that, by
careful attention to duty, will yield a man
sufficient to maintain himself and family,
with possibly an opportunity for laying by
a sum each month, by the practice of
strict economy. There are other beats not
so lucrative, but which are sought, never
theless. Politicians say that if Mayor Lane can
succeed In deposing the more than 100 spe
cial policemen, all of wnom are Repub
licans; he will be able to place his Demo
cratic lieutenants, now out of Jobs, where
they cannot only earn a livelihood, but
where they will be able to accomplish
great things for him and his administra
tion. Although Mayor Lane and Police Com
missioner Greene emphatically deny that
politics has anything to do with the case,
some have suspicions that the denial Is a
Joke.
Special policemen say they are willing
to obey orders directed from headquar
ters; to be under any set of reasonable
rules and to submit to discipline, but that
they have rights and that they will fight
hard to maintain them.
SCENERY IS DIFFERENT
