LOST HIS POWER
Defeat of Poe Amendment Car
ried With It the Maryland
Senator's Downfall.
GRASPED FOR TOO MUCH
proposed Law "Would Have Given
Dictator Control of the Vote
of Every Man In
tho State.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 19. The recent election In
Maryland apparently foreshadows tho
elimination of Arthur P. Gorman both as
a conspicuous figure In National politics
and as the "boss" of the Maryland Democ
racy Maryland seems to have had enough
of Gorman and his kind of politics.
Tho results of the election are convinc
ing in themselves, but the personal opin
ions of Maryland voters show that a vast
majority of them, not only Republicans
but Democrats, think the time has como
for a new deal, for cleaner politics.
Because of Its proximity to Baltimore,
many of the leading Maryland politicians
find their way to the National Capital.
Those who have come over in the last
few days have talked about tho election;
have explained why the Poe amendment
was defeated; have dwelt upon tho split
in tho Democratic party, and they all
agree that the election means Gorman's
downfall, above all else.
Amendment "Was Too Rank.
"If Gorman had not forced the sub
mission of the Poe amendment at the last
session of the Legislature," said a promi
nent Democrat of Baltimore, "he would
today have full control of the Democratic
machine. Just as he has had in the past.
But his Judgment was faulty; he forced
the Poe amendment through the Legisla
ture, thinking It would strengthen his
hold on the party, and that's, where he
made the greatest blunder of his political
career. He did not reckon on public sen
timent, which must indorse the amend
ment before It can be enforced. It would
have given Gorman absolute control of
Maryland politics, and would have utterly
destroyed tho individuality of the voter.
It was too rank for tho voters to stand,
and', as was to be expected, they turned
it down at the polls. It is my opinion
that tho defeat of the Poe amendment
means the retirement of Senator Gorman
at the end of his present terml And his
defeat in Maryland removes him for all
time from the list of Presidential possi
bilities." Another Maryland Democrat of some
prominence in Baltimore also saw In the
recent election the handwriting which
means the elimination of Gorman. "If
Senator Gorman," said he, "had brought
forward some fair plan for disfranchising
the neao. and had stopped there, many
Democrats who voted against the Poe
amendment would have stood by him.
But instead of a straight negro disfran
chisement proposition, he advocated a
law which, if ratified by the voters, would
have permitted Gorman, through his
henchmen, to dictate which citizens of
Maryland should vote and which should
not.
"In other words, the Poe amend
ment would have permitted Gorman to
control the vote of every man in Mary
land. Of course the people would not
stand for it; they would not be hood
winked. The amendment was about the
boldest bit of political holdup ever at
tempted in this country, but it shows tho
kind of politician Gorman Is; It shows the
straits in which he finds himself; It was
his last desperate play. Had he won,
his rule would have gone on indefinitely,
but now that he has lost he can never
recover his hold."
Rayner the New Leader.
It was apparent that Gorman was losing
his hold on the Maryland Democracy
when he was unable to prevent the elec
tion of Isldor Rayner to the United States
Senate a year ago. There was no man
In Maryland as obnoxious to him as Ray
ner. And yet Rayner was elected. He
Is a very different type of politician from
Gorman; he is clean and fair; he is not
a highwayman, nor has he attempted to
be a boss. But he has denounced many
of the methods and the plans of Gorman;
he has shown his independence of the ma
chine, and the people have taken to him.
While he will never be boss in the sense
that Gorman has been, there is a strong
probability that he may become the Dem
ocratic leader in Maryland by lhe time
another campaign rolls around.
Meanwhile Gorman, discredited at home,
without influence in the Senate, will con
tinue in Congress for four years more,
but he won't be able to do much for
Maryland. He is not the power he once
was In the Senate; he is nominally the
Democratic leader, but he is a leader
without a following, as was demonstrated
In the last Congress. It will bo a nJe
notonous four years for him, "but he will
probably stick to the end. Even defeated
and discredited Senators show no signs
of wishing to pry loose from a fat sal
ary, oven if they do not earn it.
CANADA TAKES LESSONS
May Follow' American Example in
Irrigating: Arid Land.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Nov. 26. The Canadian govern
ment has not been unaware of the al
most miraculous transformation which ir
rigation has been making in the waste
places of the United States, but has fol
lowed closely the work of reclamation
inaugurated by the Federal Government.
The interest of our neighbors in that
work has "been heightened greatly by the
Influx of .settlers to the Northwest Ter
ritories -within the past few years. Here
tofore Canadian agriculture has been con
fined to humid areas. The rapid settle
ment of her semi-arid plains, north of
Montana and further west, and the suc
cessful initiation in that section of sev
eral irrigation systems by shrewd Mor
mon Immigrants has called attention to
the value and Importance of a iv'.der
knowledge of the Irrigation possibilities
of the Dominion.
Hon. Sydney Fisher, Canadian Minister
of Agriculture, has Just returned to Ot
tawa after extensive trips through the
arid States, where he studied at closo
range the work of the Reclamation Ser
vice and the results of Irrigation under
privato enterprise. His observations have
confirmed his views that by irrlcra.Uon a
wonderful" expansion of the cultlvatable
aiea of the Canadian West can be ob
tained, and he is naturally deeply con
cerned in a work wMch belongs to hie de
partment, and which he hopes the gov
ernment will take up In the near future.
"He lias sounded a warning against put
ting off action until, as in the United
States, vested rights to all the -water in
the streams have passed into private
hands, where such rights rise to disturb
and perplex every government project, la
a recent interview he said:
"Only the man who has seen what has
been dene In Italy, In India.-in Eypt and
in California can appreciate the veritable
romance of agriculture which the engi
neer has brought about. In India the ir
rigation canal has ttorned millions ,of
acres to fertility and saved tons of thou
sands of lives which must have sucr
cumbed to famine. In the Western tate
of America vast deserts have beon con
verted into orchards, and the land which
would otherwise be dear at $5 rn acre has
become worth 550 or more."
EIGHT HOURS TOO SHORT
Russian Council jot Workmen Decide
After Lone Session.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 20. (3:10 A.
M.) The conservative loaders in tho
Council of Workmen arc again victori
ous. At 2:5B o'clock this morning- they
carried a resolution against any at
tempt to introduce a movomont for Tan
olght-hour day.
FOUGHT FOR EIGIIT-HOUR LAW
Council of Workmen Put In an All
Xlght Session In Debate.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 20. (1:35 A.
M.) After the severe reverse which
they suffered early yostorday morning,
whon nt the end of a eeven-hour debate
the Council of Workmen decided to
abandon the Industrial strike, the lead
ers of tho extremist Socialist factions
of the St. Potereburg workmen are en
gaged In a hard and apparently losing
fight In defense of a resolution for an
eight-hour day which was tho slogan of
last week's strike but which was aban
doned at the last moment in favor of
an appeal for the lives of tho mutineers
at Cronstadt and the liberty of Poland.
When tho council convened last night
a Socialist representative introduced an
amendment to the resolution calling off
the strike, providing- that the men in
returning to work hereafter labor only
eight hours, laying down their tools at
4 o'clock in tho afternoon instead of 6,
while insisting on the same rate of
pay. Encouraged by their earlier Aic
tory, the conservative leaders at once
opened a vigorous opposition to tho
resolution, pointing out the determina
tion of tho employers to regard any
attempt to obtain shorter hours by
revolutionary means as the -signal for
a lockout of the great mass of the
workmen of St. Petersburg and that
they were in a position to enter on a
prolonged combat of endurance at tho
very outset of a long cold Winter.
A number of orators even questioned
the wisdom of an eight-hour day Itself,
declaring that Russia at present was
not ripe for it, whilo others who arc In
sympathy with tho movomont for a
shorter day declared that It would not
be wire to fritter away their strength
at this time when a great and decisive
combat in January was imminent.
At 1 o'clock this morning the debate
was on in full swing with no signs of
abatement, the decision seeming largely
to hinge on the question as to whether
the owners would stand to their guns
and shut down rather than reduce tne
number of hours.
Apprehensions that the defeat of the
Reds in the council might inspire them
to tako violent measures against the
troops or the morchants who refused to
close their places of business Satur
day, when ordered by the leaders, were
happily without foundation, though ru
mors of collisions between workmen
and troops in the Vasillastrov and Putl
loff districts were in circulation.
At nolice headquarters It was said
that there had been no disorders and at
strike headquarters the Associated
Press was Informed that there had been
no collision, though perhaps a few
shots might have been fired in the air
by the over-exuberant demonstrators.
Nevertheless the patrols In the streets
were doubled yesterday. These were
generally commanded by noncommis
sioned officers showing that in spite of
rumors of dissatisfaction among the
troops, the government was not afraid
to trust the soldiers of the guard at
large without commanding offlcors.
The high-sounding proclamation with
which the Council of Workmen announced
the end of the strike, declaring that tho
"demonstration" had served Its purpose
bv saving tho lives fit the mutineers at
Cronstadt. whilo of course it is principa!
ly a blind to cover the defeat, as the
trials of the mutineers are rtlll in prog
ress. Is at the same time shrwd. tactics
for use in the propagonoa which the
council Is actively pushing among the
arm and navy. Such a claim, howtvu .
caunot disguise the fan that the strike
was inaugurated to compel the govern
ment not only to pardon unconditionally
tho mutineers, but to abolish martial law
In Poland, and to compel the calling of
a constitutional assembly, none, of which
objects has been achieved.
The refusal of the affiliated organiza
tions in the Interior to respond to the
call and the revolt of many of the bet
ter class of workmen here against lhe
dictation of political agitators and walk
ing delegates by no means represents the
full measure of the real defeat of the
strike movement. The strike, by allonat
Ing public sympathy and opening tho
eyes of -intelligent Liberals and Moder
ates to the fact that the first dnty of tho
hour was to stand by tho government
in its efforts to tranquillze the country
and to make head against the tide o
socialism and revolution which was
threatening Russia with anarchy, aldfcd
greatly in the formation of a new law-and-order
party, which has now sprung
into formidable being.
Interest has now shifted to Moscow,
where the Zemstvo congress opened yes
terday. The members of the new paity
from all parts of the country nave gone
there to make a fight In the congress for
a union of all the conservative and lib
eral elements to hold up the hands of
Count Wltte, to condemn the political
strike, to seek fufther political salvation
through the doors opened by the mani
festo, though it is neither expected nor
desired that the Constitutional Democrats
will abjure their programme while join
ing In tho movement to aid in the restora
tion of tranquility. It is expected that a
sharp combat will develop with the large
faction of the Zcmstvoists who arc ar
rayed with the Socialists to continue the
fight against the government to the bit
ter end.
The failure of the strike has 3hown the
country as a wholo how little sympathy
there is with Poland in her demand for
complete autonomj. At Moscow tho rail
road men refused to strike, on the
ground that they did not sympathize
with the Poles in their struggle. It
seems that in that part of Russia the
people remember only too well the end
less wars with the Poles and cannot for
get that the white eagle of Poland once
waved from the pinnacle of the Krem
lin, so sacred to Moscow. The possibility
of the revival of the ancient Kingdom of
Poland is therefore viewed with displeas
ure, while the pan-slavlets and even tho
Liberals are afraid of fho specter of a
possible dismemberment of the empire.
Tranquillity to End Martial Law.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 19. The Offi
cial Messenger this morning In addition
Nto denying tho measures taken bj the
government In Poland were Influenced by
neighboring powers, states that martial
law 1n Poland will be repealed as soon
&s tranquillity Is restored.
Hi M HARBOR
Planned to Be One of Greatest
in the World."
COLON IS OUTSIDE CANAL
Sea-Level Channel, Voted by Con
sulting Engineers, to Have Bot
tom Width or 150 Feet.
Wider at Culebra.
"WASHINGTON. Nov. 19. The board
of consulting engineers of the Isthmian
Canal Commission has decided to sub
stitute Brussels for Paris as the meet
ing place of tho foreign members next
January. The reason for this decision
Is that Brussels Is more conveniently
situated for several of the members.
The American engineer who will go to
Brussels with the documents to be
signed has not yet been chosen.
During this week a committee of
three members of the board, with Gen
eral Davis as their chairman, will mako
a rough draft of tho final report, which
will then have to be worked out In de
tail and is expected to be ready about
tho end of December. The sea-level
canal, which has been voted upon by
tho members, will have a width at
the bottom of 150 feet, except In the
Culebra cut, where that width will be
200 feet. The greater width in the cut
is necessary to allow two ships to pass
each other safely between tho high
banks of tho canal, which will be I
formed by the very deep excavation. I
The plan as adopted by the board I
would make LImon Bay one, of the
greatest narbors of the world. Almost
through the middle of the bay a break
water will be built and a shorter
breakwater will be built from San
Cristobal, which Is American tflrrltorv.
thereby leaving Colon, which belongs j
io me rcpuDiic ot .Panama, outside or
the American canal works.
Under the plan as adopted by the
board. San Cristobal Is expected to be
come the chief city of the Atlantic side
of the canal and the promontory, on
which arises the statue of Columbus.
will be covered with official buildings, '
docks, coaling stations and all the
works necessary for an Important har
bor. The canal constructed by the
French began at San Cristobal.
It is now proposed by the board to
build a short direct canal from MlnJl
to LImon Bay, thereby making the dis
tance shorter by a few hundred yards
and also facilitating navigation and
making it possible for ships to sail into
the canal without having to make any
difficult turns.
The breakwaters necessary for the
formation of this harbor of San Cristo
bal will be an item of great expense.
They were the subject or long discus
sions in the meetings of the board.
They would have been necessary, in
case a lock canal liaj been choson.
On the Pacific side at Panama tho
plarfs as adopted yesterday are also
different from those of the French
Canal Company. The French canal end
at Laboca. and it was found as one of
tho difficulties that the Rio Grande
with Its many branches crosses the
canal and in the rainy season Inundate
it and does great damage to tho works'
.wvu4j tuiisu uuiiu oy ine rrencn.
Therefore It was decided that the canal
should be built nearer to the City of
Panama and should run between two
hills, one called Sosa and the other the
well-known Ancon.
Ancon is the higher of the two. On
it the American hospitals are built and
It Is one of the most healthful places on
the isthmus. At this placo the one look,
necessitated through the difference In
the Odes of the Atlantic and the Pacific,
will be built. This lock, however, will
not retard the progress of ships
through the canal.
In the first place, ships coming from
the Pacific will have to stop some" time
any way to be visited hr hAnits
cers and by civilian authorities, and. j
uunnK a jarge part of the I
iock will be entirely open, as
the levels of both oceans will be
equally high.
At the Panama side no plans have yet
been made for breakwaters. The plans
for constructing a lock canal at 30
feet altitude were never discussed and
from the beginning the board was di
vided Into two groups, of eight and five
members, one In favor of sea-level
plans, and the other In favor of a lock
canal. A compromise plan was never
brought up at any time.
It can be authoritatively reiterated
tnat none of the foreign delegates to
the board came here with specific in
structions from their governments. The
members of the board came here at the
bidding of tho United States and thoir
governments gave them a long leave of
absoncc. so that they might give their
services to this country, sending them
without any instructions whatever
They will leave Washington by next
Sunday and stay a. few days in New
ork before leaving for Europe.
Tuesday night next General Davis
chairman of the board of consulting en
gineers, will entertain the foreign del
egates at a farewell dinner at his home.
The coBt of tho sea-level canal Is esti
mated by the engineers at about C30.OO0 -000.
Although this amount seems much
larger than the amount necessarv with
the construction of a lock canal, it is al
leged by the advocates of the sea-level
VM0Z?Jn re.a,lty on,y comparatively
slightly higher. It was pointed out in the
meetings of the board that the lock canal
wo?fJiecess,tate been 530.0CO.OCO and
J40.000.0CO payment for the private grounds
and the lands belonging to the Republic
of Panama, which would be inundated by
the construction of a lock system. This
item, in the Mew of the majority of the
board. Is entirely done away with by the
adoption of the sea-level canal.
As for the time it will take to construct
the sea-level canal several members of
the board today expressed the opinion
that the construction of the sea-level
canal will not In reality take so very
much more time than that of a lock canal,
and that If no unexpected difficulties are
met with It should not require more than
two or three years additional.
The majority of the engineers take the
position that the building o the sea-level
canal should not take more than 13 years.

fleers on account of the wearing of the
bore of the gun through tne great veloc
ity of the projectile, with the result that
"after some CO or 60 rounds from large
guns the .rifling is so worn away that tho
projectiles are no longer given the motion
of rotation necessary to steadiness of
flight and an Inadmlssable loss of accu
racy results." The question whether the
guns should not be used at a power less
than their strength enables the realiza
tion of. In order to diminish the erosion
and increase the life. Is being considered.
The report says:
"It must be remembered that In thus
using the guns at less power the energy
of the projectile Is reduced by a sacri
fice of that qualltefHrhlch ft loses soonest

it is quite possible to retain the superiority
of the gun -over anything which It is
called upon to attack by using larger cal

of larger size than Is now customary, ex

WANAMAKER for senator
Probable Result or Smashing of the
Pennsylvania Machine.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Nov. C If reform sentiment can
be kept allw In Pennsylvania for the
next three years, there Is a possibility
that John Wanamaker may be elected to
the United States Senate to succeed Boise
Penrose, a relic of the old Quay ma
chine. The turning down of the "gang"
in Philadelphia and the vote cast every
where in Pennsylvania shows the dissat
isfaction with, the old Quay machine and
the men "who have been left In charge.
Penrose nominally succeeded to the lead-'
crship. and the late election was a great
reflection upon him In particular, and the
ontlre machine, individually and collec
tively. Wanamaker has never been in Con
gress, but he was Postmaster-General In
Pretedcnt Harrison's Cabinet for four
years. He has always been prominently
identified with Republican politics in
Pennsylvania, but never got very far.
because he has waged unrelenting war
on the "gang" and up to this year the
"gang" has had full control. Wanamaker
aspires to the Senatorshlp: he is fitted
for the Job and would probably serve
with credit to himself and to the Senate.
He had the ability to rise to the top In
the commerial world; he certainly must
have the ability to rise In the Senate,
where there are many men of less ability
than he.
Whether or not Wanamaker can come
to the Senate will depend in some meas
ure upon whether or not the "gang" can
be held In check. The return to power
of the old Quay machine would sidetrack
him again. Then, too, the fact that
llayor Weaver, of Philadelphia, has been
the leader In the successful reform move
ment gives him great prominence, and it
may be that he would like to come to
the Senate. If Weaver can keep the
gang down and can continue to ride on
the crest of the wave, he will probably
be able to overshadow Wanamaker. But
three years Is a long time Is politics,
particularly In Pennsylvania politics.
The defeat of the Pennsylvania "gang"
came as a great gratification to President
Roosevelt and his entire administration.
The administration has been In sympathy
with the fight against It from the start;
it was a fight similar to that which the
administration Is making against various
kinds of graft in the public service. There
would be no tears shed around the White
House it Penrose should be dbfeated for
