THE XORyiXCc OBEGONIAy, JCQyPAY, APRIL 2, 1906. 3 t ma ON RATE BILL Court Review Amendment He fill Oppose on the Floor the Senate. PREFERS THE HOUSE. BILL Measure Approved by tlic President, Ho Declares, Will Operate to Nullify the Objects or the Legislature. WASHINGTON. April J. Senator Tillman, who has charge of the rate bill In tho Senate, said tonight ho wax not satisfied with the court review amendment measure which whs agreed n yesterday between President ItooKcvelt, several Republican Senators who are. upnorting the bill and mombors of the interstate Commerce Commission. Ho taid he would oppose It on the floor of the Senate, and lie expected the opin ion that not half a dozen of his Demo cratic colleagues would support the amendment. Senator Tillman declares the sunend ment does not meet the situation fully, inasmuch as it makes no provision net ting forth practically that there shall be no suspension of the railway rate fixed by the Interstate Commerce Commission pending the judicial determination of any case which may be appealed from the rate .established. This In a conten tion which Senator Tillman and a num ber of Democratic Senators bave urgd, rb they argue that a failure to provide absolutely agulnst a suspension of the rate operates to nullify the objects for which the legislation is desired. The Senator added that he would pre fer to vote for the House bill as It stood than to accept the amendment, for the pending measure gave the right of re view where Constitutional questions are involved. The proposed amendment was dlscufsed generally today among groups of Demo cratic Senators, but there was no confer- ence on the subject among them. Senator Spooner was at the White llouso today in conference with Presi dent Roosevelt, presumably on matters connected with rate legislation. HATE HILL IN THE HOUSE. Amendments to Measure Hccclvo Approval or the President. WASHINGTON. April 1. The railroad rate bill will continue the present week to receive the attention of the National Senate, to the exclusion of almost all oth er ;ubjects. The bill will be taken up to day as soon as the routine business Is disposed of. and Senator Long will intro duce the amendment tigreed upon at the or.ferfiiee of friends of the bill with IVes Ident Roosevelt last Saturday night. The amendment is section'lC of the House bill and provides: That nil ordrr of the Vmml.Ion. ixcpt order Tor the jiajnifnt if moiipj-. shall take f-fffict ivttli'n mii-Ii rHonaW time ar nhull 1t? prescribed by the "otnniUMon. and shall con tinue for such jorloil of time, not rxtvdinc two year, which MiaH Iw irrcrihel In the order of the.

Senators who took part in the confer ence believe that "2 Republicans and the entire minority will support this amend ment. Should the expectation of the friends of the bill be realized, a vote upon tho measure as' a whole will be reached much earlier than was anticipated when the Senate adjourned Friday evening. The bill for the final settlement of the nffalrs of the live civilized tribes of In dians will probably go back to conference during tho week. Senator Clnpp, who has charge of the measure, has already announced that bo would withdraw the conference report and it Is understood that steps will be taken this week, pro vided Senator Patterson finds an oppor tunity to express his views on the subject, Tho withdrawal would have been made last week but for the Colorado Senator's desire to be heard. The programnio for tho week In the House of Representatives Is rather short s to subjects but will be full as to legis lative work. Motions to suspend the rules and pass bills on the calendar will be In order today. Suspension day comes twice n month in the House, and there. Is al ways a full day's work to be done, as many minor measures which require but short consideration arc disposed of under this order. The bill placing the Federal Govern ment in position to aid In the suppres Flon of yellow fever epidemics has been made a spocial order for Tuesday. This bill carries an appropriation of JW.OOO and rnlargos the powers of the Public Health and 'Marine. Hospital Service to such an extent that co-operation between the. Fed rral and state authorities may be had without Infringing on the police powers of the state, render unnecessary the shotgun" quarantine and put the South ern Seacoast States In position to repel tho Invasion of yellow fever from other shores. Beginning Wednesday tho postofflce ap propriation bill will have the right of way throughout tho week. It Is not an ticipated that the measure, can be dis posed of in this time, but Chairman Over street, who will have charge of the bill ?n the floor, provides that general debate nn the bill will be completed by tho end of the week.

The tremendous mass of earth disturbed filled the river channel and rose 73 feet on the opposite bank. The flow of the great river was dammed for two hours. until the powerful current forced. Its way through the debris. Since then the river has been deeply tinged with mud. The river backed up for eight miles. The sweep of waters washed away a cabin owned by Dan Laydon. a home steader.

DISPLEASES CULTURED EYE Determined (o Have Colors Suited to Tinted Stationery. Society Uses Costly Stamps of Favorite Colors on Letters. WASHINGTON. March Si. Fashionable circles In New York. Philadelphia. Cincin nati and other prcat centers canno't under stand the stubbonmos of the Postmaster Gcncrnl In declining to yield to a demand almost unanimous amonc the "Four Hun dred for 2-cent postage stamps In various colors. The fact that the International Postal Union, with hcadQuartcrs: t Berne. Switz erland, has decreed that stamps In every country used to carry flrst-class mall shall be printed In red. docs not move the lead ers In society. They are wholly Indiffer ent to this decree from Berne: they care not for postal unions or domestic regula tions, but they know one thin?, and that Is that they are weary of the bold, red stamp bearing the calm features of the "Father of His Country. Wants Harmony In Colors. "What could possibly be more Incon gruous' and displeasing to the cultured e;e than an envelope of a delicate lavender shad. addressed In delicate script, and bearing In the upper right corner a flam ing red stamp? remarked a lady who Is enrolled In the upper-ten class, a few days since. "Upon an envelope of pure whit a stamp of a delicate pink shade, would not be objectionable: In fact, the effect Is pleasing, but everybody does not care to use white stationery continually: and. even if he does, there Is no delicate pink stamp to use nothing but that dark, red stamp." continued the lady. "Manufacturers of paper rccognlxe the demand for stationer In various shades and tints: manufacturers of silks and vel vets and satins cater to society's require ments, and I do not see why the Govern ment cannot be as accommodating as pri vate concerns. It would cost no more to print stamps In a variety of tints, such as would match prevailing tints of ap proved stationery, than to print them all In a horrid shade of red. What business Is It of a lot of foreigners at Berne what colors this Government uses in printing Its postage stamps? The next thing we know, some convention in Amsterdam will "assume, to determine the colors In dresses .that will be permitted on various days of the week In the United States. If I were the Postmaster-General. I would have spunk enough to print our postago tamps In such shades as the public de manded, regardless of rules from Berne or any other place on earth." Dcmaads of High Society. The Postofflce Department officials are constantly In receipt of letters from peo ple, urging the Issue of stamps In this color and that, including a special black stamp of the value of 2 cents for use upon black-bordered envelopes. The officials have tried In vain to figure out how the "mourning stamp" can be provided, but the plan has been declared Impracticable. High society is reveling In stationery of various tints pink, violet, light blue, deli cate green and a brownish shade. Tna ef fect of a red 2-cent stamp upon envelopes of these delicate tlnta Is shocking to the sensibilities of the mor aristocratic circles, and the clamor for a better assort ment of postage stamps Is becoming loud er and louder. Taboo Horrid Red Stamps. At present m the ultra-fashionable set the ordinary S-ceat stamp is tabooed, and the 3-cent stamp, which Is printed In a light purple shade. Is the favorite, espe cially since lavender stationary Is having a run Just now. For bluish envelopes it Is necessary to use the -cent stamp, and for brownish paper the i-ceat stamp is accessary, theae stamps carrespeading In color to the paper dm. Notwithstanding Its high cert, the S- 0 Inaugural Display and season s best patterns; great 98c Edges and Insertions, to iyz for months to come ; 48c ccnt stamp Is very popular In certain quarters. It Is printed In a delicate violet shade, and bears the portrait of Martha Washington, the only American woman whose fact ever adorned a United States postage stamp. An envelope of a delicate lavender shade, bearing the family crest In a slightly darker shade of violet, the address penned In Ink of a similar color and franked with a light purple stamp, produces an effect that is stunning and Irresistible to the upper-ten circle. The objection to the 3-cent stamp of pur ple color is the portrait of Andrew Jack son which adorns It. Jackson was never noted for his beautv of countenance, and the Postofflce Department evidently, in obtaining the likeness of the former Pres ident, dug up a portrait that depicted him in a most disheveled condition. While the color Is reasonably satisfactory, the frouzy-headed Jackson gives the envelope a grotesque appearance that is very ob jectionable. Stamp AVIth Family Coat of Anns. What society really wants Is an individ ual stamp for each family: one that, in stead of having as the central figure the likeness of an ex-President, or warrior, shall depict the family cdat of arms. In Germany such a stamp is in current do mestic use. although its color is. of course, red. The central feature consists of the familiar arms of the German Empire, with the single word. "Bclchpost" (Empire-postage) above, and "10 PF." below. It Is a singular fact, by the way. that, notwithstanding the alleged vanity of the German Emperor, he has never presumed to have his portrait depicted on German postage stamps. On the contrary, his uncle, the King of England, has ordered that every British stamp Issued shall bear his likeness. However, the Postofflce Department will continue to issue our 2-ccnt stamp In red only, although the use of 3. 4. 5 and S cent stamps by high society is cordially approved. AN IDEAL STATE ROAD Suggestive Pattern for Oregon to Follow Before Long. Philadelphia Press. Vice-President Bae. of the Pennsyl vania Railroad, fa authority for the statement that plans are already laid for a main state road between Philadelphia and Pittsburg. This prospective highway Is to be 2S miles long, following closely the old stage route, and Is 70 miles shorter than the shortest railroad lines between the two cities. This flrst-clas3 mail highway can bo opened, barring legal delays, to secure the dissolution of turnpike companies, within IS months, it is said, and motor ists can then, after an early breakfast in Philadelphia, and a good run across the state, dine In Pittsburg. The route of the proposed state road runs from Philadelphia to Paoll. 20 miles, by way of the old Philadelphia and Lan caster Turnpike: from Paoll to Lancas ter: from Lancaster via Columbia to Tork. and thence to historic Gettysburg, where junction Is made with the old turn pike from Baltimore (only 52 miles dis tant from Gettysburg), thence across South Mountain, well remembered as the line of retreat of Lee's army after the battle of Gettysburg, thence Into the beautiful Cumberland Valley, at Cham bersburg. whero the route Joins the Har rlsburg Turnpike: from Chambersburg.
