THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY. JUNE 20, 1900. SECOND PLAGE ON I'S TICKET Hearst or McClellan the Most Talked of in East ern States. CHAMBERLAIN NOT IN IT Bryan Gives Knough Strength to Draw Western Votes and Cham berlain Could Not Help If Roosevelt Ran Again. OREGON TAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. June 1I. Since it has apparently been settled that William Jennings Bryan shall again be the Democratic standard bearer In IS, gossip has turned on a Vice-Presidential nominee. This field is still open to all, with the chances strongly favoring the men of the' Blast, more par ticularly the aspirants from New York State. Two men prominent In New York State and city politics have been men tioned, both of whom would be able to carry strength to a Bryan ticket. One is William R. Hearst, the other Mayor George B. McClellan, of New York City. Tf the tail of the Bryan ticket shall be taken from New Torn, one of these two men Is likely to be chosen. Each is strong among a certain class. Hearst's strengtn lies chiefly among the people who have never forsaken Bryan, the workingmen, while McClellan would be. able to reach some of the higher classes In the business world that would not follow Hearst Hearst has some backers among the busi ness men, it Is true, but he has posed as the friend of the laborer and would draw principally among that class of voters. McClellan, on the other hand, while he has his hoatg of followers among the la boring men, has a reputation for stabil ity that is not true of Hearst, and Tic would draw more heavily among the busi ness interests. McClellan 11 ts the Job. Of the two New Yorkers. McClellan is far and away the better equipped to fill the office of Vice-President. He is a gentleman of high type; he is schooled in the parliamentary practices that prevail in Congress; he would be able to preside over the Senate with dignity and would be ac ceptable to a Democratic Senate. Hearst, on the other hand, would be a misfit in the Vice-Presidential chair. He would not like the Job, and the Senate would not like to have him as a successor to Fairbanks. He is not the type of man to preside over the greatest deliberative body In the world, and -e knows It and does not hanker after it. It is well known that Hearst has his eyes on the Presidency, and it is quite probable that.- when the time comes, he will discourage talk of his nomination for Vice-President, fearing that a. term in the second office of the land might handicap him In the future, when he might renew his fight for the Presidency. McClellan. on the other hand, would no doubt be glad to receive the nomination for Vice-President. He has no Presidential bee. buzzing in his bonnet, so faj- as known, and would look upon the nomination as a great hon or. Moreover, he would stand a better chance of carrying New York than . Hearst, for Hearst and Tammany are fighting continually of late, and Tammany would never be able to work up enthu siasm over a ticket on which Hearst's name was written. No Room for Chamberlain. It is- not a sure thing that a New Yorker would be nominated with Bryan, If the Nebraskan should be chosen to head the next Democratic National ticket, but. if not a New York, certainly some man from another big Eastern state. The South does not need a sop in order to stay In the Democratic column, and the Western vote is not large enough to ne cessitate the naming of a man from the country beyond Bryan's home. He him self is Westerner enough to suit the De mocracy beyond the Mississippi Kiver. This is one reason Kastern Democrats take no interest in the talk along the Pacific Coast about nominating Governor Chamberlain of Oregon as running mate for Bryan. Eastern Democrats are ready to concede that Chamberlain has done well In a strong Republican State, but at best he could swing only a few states tor the Democratic ticket, and they are not states with a large aggregate vote tn the electoral college. Roosevelt for Third Term. Since it has been taken for granted from one end of the country to the other that Bryan is to be the Democratic nom inec, there has been a revival of discus sion of a third term for Roosevelt, for Republicans are ready to admit that Bryan Is the strongest man the Demo crats can name, and there Is fear that the Republican party will have to re nominate Roosevelt in order to beat the Peerless leader. If Roosevelt should be renominated to run against Bryan Bryan. Chamberlain of Oregon would prove a dead load on the Democratic ticket, lor his would not be able to add "one bit of strength In view of the fact that Roosevelt would carry every West ern state where Chamberlain la supposed to have some following. With Bryan heading the Democratic ticket. Senator Bailey of Texas will have to remain in the ' background. He does not want to play second fiddle, and moreover, he comes from a state that would vote for Bryan without any In ducement from the Democratic National Convention. Bailey's time may come, but it will not be In a year when Bryan is running at the head of the party. MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP PLAN Senator Patterson Says Both Parties Are Tols of Corporations. WASHINGTON. June 19. By a vote of 17 to 29 the Senate, today voted down an amendment on a street-car extension bill providing for a franchise tax of 12 per cent on the net earnings of all corpora, tlons in the District of Columbia. Senator Patterson made a speech in sup port of municipal ownership of puonc utililics. He admitted that there may not be sufficient informatidn to justity the adoption of such a policy for the gov ernment of the capital city, but contended that sentiment in favor of that policy is BRYAN growing throughout the world, and 'he urged that the district should take the lead in reform. He said that one of the evils attaching to the private control of the corporations is found tn i.ieir activity in politics, and in referring to conditions in Denver, his home city, he said the cor porations are so powerful that the people are helpless. The Senator asserted "that these cor porations, "instruments for iniquity." ha AvAmitivA nmmi.rees of both the political parties in a grip of iron. "The Republican committee, ue oiu, ia their nliant tool, and the Democratic par ty is even more pliant." FILTH IX SAUSAGE FACTORY. Newark Health Inspectors Find Bas kets of Butcher-Shop Sweepings. NEWARK. X. J.. June 19. City ttealth Inspectors today confiscated the contents of Harry Rosenthal's bologna sausage es tablishment. They- claim to have found the utensils, the machinery and the room in general reeking with filth and vermin. Four baskets of meat said to have had the appearance of scraps picked up from the floors of butcher shops, dirt and saw dust being present in abundance, were seized by the inspectors, together with other scraps of meat which were sata to be decaying in the sausage-making ma chines. Preservative solutions and color ing matter also were taken by the au thorities. Rosenthal declared that for five months he had worked under on arrangement with a number of butchers, who furnished the materials to be ground into sausage. He said he received $4 for every 100 pounds turned out. The butchers sold the product, he eald, tor 13 cents a pouna. GHOST OF FREE SILVER RISES Defeats Bill lor Recoinlng Abraded Dollars Into Smaller Coins. WASHINGTON. June 19. Decided oppo sition pprang up in the House today to the bill providing for the recoinage of abraded and uncurrent dollars to subsidiary coin. Representatives from the Southern and Western States insisting that the bill meant the contraction of the silver in cir culation. Clark of Missouri led the fight against the bill on the ground that it was a scheme to contract the currency. The bill provides that not more than 5.000,000 abraded uncurrent silver dollars may be coined Into dimes, quarters and halves. This, Clark said, meant eventually the RESERVATIONS FOR. YELLOW STONE TRIP. As wan anticipated, there has been quite a brisk demand for the reserva tions available for those who are de sirous ' of accompanying The Orego nian party to the Yellowstone Park and other places of unusual Interest, such as Boise City and Salt Lake City. The list has been open but a few days and more than half of the reservations have already been taken. Reservation will be made upon the receipt of $80. All communications and Inquiries should be directed to Room 200. Oregonlan. All inquiries, whether in person or in writing, will be most cheerfully answered. The $80 Includes railroad fare for the round trip and. all accommoda tions while in the Yellowstone Park. But it does not include meals and Pullman accommodations . while en route. Those who would like to make this delightful trip should make their reservations as soon as convenient, as there is only a limited number to be had. The party will travel in a special train. tt will leave Portland at 7 o'clock in the. morning of July T and will arrive at Salt Lake at 5:30 o'clock the afternoon of the follow ing day. complete retirement of the silver dollar. Clark said, if he was Secretary jot the Treasury, he would have all the silver dollars piled up in the Treasury vaults in circulation, a statement which the Demo crats loudly applauded. Two-thirds not having voted for the bill. It failed of pas sage. The vote stood Ho to FIRE WIPES OUT SWEDEN TOWN Hundreds ot Families Are Left Homeles and Property Destroyed. STOCKHOLM, June IS. Fire started Sunday night In the little city of Hudike- vail, and, fanned by a strong easterly gale, spread with such rapidity that alt efforts to extinguish it were fruitless.

CABINET FEARS CIVIL WAR Dare oXt Mobollze Cossacks Lest Ex plosion Follow Committee of Douma to Prepare Land Bill. Bialystok Quiets Down. ' ANOTHER JEWISH MASSACRE. LONDON, June 19. The Jewish World has received the following dis patch from 'Dvinsk (also termed Iuanaberg), Province of Vitebsk. 110 miles southeast of Blga, dated June 18: "Fifty persons have been killed In the anti-Jewish rioting at Staro alelsce. not far from Bialystok. The state of mind of the populace ia in describable." ' ODESSA, June 20. (Special.) General Kaulbars has received word from U of the best garrisons tn Russia to the effect that the troops there are mutinous and have refused to act as police in quelling street disturbances. The identity of these garrisons is being concealed, but ail the facts have been telegraphed to the Minis ter of War. It can be stated on the authority of a general officer of the staff that the reason why the government has not carried out its plan to mobollze 700,000 Cossacks is the fear of civil war. However, these wild troops have been sent to all points where trouble Is feared and will be utilized In dealing with any uprisings that may take place. COMMITTEE ON LAND REFORM Douma Appoints Men. to Prepare Plan ox Expropriation. ST. PETERSBURG, June 19. The election of the agrarian committee of 99 today initiates the second stage of agrarian legislation in the lower house of Parliament, but the unwieldy size of the committee and the reservation of eight places for members who have not yet arrived gives slight prospect of a speedy presentation of a draft of a law. i The committee consists virtually of the inner circle of the ' strongest men n Parliament, the Constitutional Dem ocrats naming among the members M. Petrunkevitch, Prof essor 1 Hertzensteln, Prince Dolgoroukoff, A. Petrajevski and Nicholas I.voff. the group of toil naming; M. Anikin and M. Aladdin, and the Conservatives Count Heyden, M. Stakavich and Princes Georgi, Lvoft, Volonsky and Urusoff. Moderate Members Strong. The makeup of the committee is re garded as moderate, and the selection of MM. Petrajevsky and Lvoft is evi dence that the Constitutional Demo crats are not irretrievably committed to the project elaborated by the party convention held on the eve of the as sembling: of Parliament, both the Dep uties named having vigorously at tacked the provision for the rental in stead of sale of expropriated land as a step toward nationalization. The Pol ish representatives tre unanimously opposed to this proposition, and it probably will be eliminated, as it was inserted only in deference to the radi cal group, which the Constitutional Democratic leaders are no longer at tempting to conciliate. Woman Suffragists Rampant. The woman suffrage debate invoked arguments familiar In the United States. M. Petrunkevitch picturing a regiment of Amazons guarding the Tauride pal ace; but the discussion assumed almost the dimensions of a riot when it was transferred to the corridors, where a deputation of women suffragtots con duced such a tumultuous propaganda and assailed with such vehemence peasant members who opposed the principle that the deputies fled. Ciar's Better Sense Rules. Though rumor is busy with the .sue. cess of the reactionaries at Peterhof, reassuring information has been re ceived from the palac etonlght that Em peror Nicholas has decided to send a senatorial commission to the Baltic provinces to investigate fhe complaints against the activity of the military au thorties and to learn whether they are justified in claiming that executions and martial law cannot be abandoned. Metropolitan Antonius, entertaining members of the lower house tonight, as sured them that the Government did not intend to recess Parliament against the will of the majority. DOUMA IS JEWS' ONLY HOPE. t Troops Help Murderers When Fight ing Goes Against Them. LONDON, June 19. (Special.) Leopold J. Greenburg, honorable secretary of the English ' Zionist Federation, received a telegram this morning from a member of the Russian Douma stating that the bloody anti-Jewish campaign in Russia is so well organized and so vigorously sup ported by the bureaucracy that few Jews and little Jewish property are likely to survive. The message continues: Only the Douma offers the slightest hope for staying the movement. The troops. wherever the fighting threatens to go against the mobs, fire on the Jews. Much property has been destroyed by means of dynamite, which is in the hands of th authorities alone. The Jews are entirely without protection. All other nationalities as such merely stand aside. The Douma will make desperate efforts to secure control of the administrative machinery of the government in order to stop the onslaught on the jews ana quell the bloodthirsty rioters. HOW GET RID OF PARLIAMENT Trepoff's Gang Plots, While Strikes and Revolts Grow. ST. PETERSBURG. June 19. It is off! cially denied that 'the members of the Ministry participated in the sessions of the Trepofr star chamber at Peterhof. which decided that Parliament must be got rid of and is only hesitating in re gard to the method. Three ways are pro posed: First, to order a recess for three months: second, to dissolve Parliament and order new elections based on univer sal suffrage, in the hope that the tem per of the Parliament thus elected will be different: third, to declare the Coun cil of the Empire, or Upper House, the representative body until a new parlia ment is elected. There are two features of the situation which make the court camarilla pause the earlv necessitv .for more money and the dismay over the growing disaffection of the troops. Fresh strikes are reported at Kaluga, Krementchug. Zhitomir. Volsk and Us- tingveliki. but the scheme to precipitate a general strike is by no means assured. The engineers of the Moscow railroad have decided not to take out their loco motives tomorrow. The government has made the most elaborate preparations to meet the strike movement. Military trains are held in readiness at all the stations of St. Petersburg and Moscow. The masons and stonecutters struck to day and the butchers will strike tomor row. The prices of bread and meat have been doubled. The troops sent to Cronstadt are camp ing outside the city. The Twentieth Century (formerly the Russ) says the situation is so dangerous that the breech blocks have been removed from the guns of the warsnips in the harbor. The lawlessness in he Caucasus is growing. At noon today 15 brigands. armed to the teeth, boarded a car In the center of Tiflls and robbed the passengers of their purses and Jewelry. No arrests were made. The inter-race feeling be tween the Armenians v and Tartars is spreading. Private letters received here from Khar- koff predict that the entire South of Rus sia will be in a state of open revolution within a month. At Azovsky, the troops today openly ap plauded a revolutionary procession of 8000 miners and workmen. PROVOKED BY SOLDIERS. Member or Douma Attributes Mas sacre to Official Action. ST. PETERSBURG. June 19. M. Vina ver, a member of the Lower House, today received the following dispatch from M. Jacobson. a member of the commission sent to Bialystok by the Lower House of Parliament to investigate the Jewish massacres there: "Order was restored yesterday. Seventy-eight Jews and six Christians') have been buried. The majority of the dead were killed with bayonets or rifle bul lets. The total of the dead has not yet been established. A Cossack yesterday killed a passing Jew. "The city has unanimously decided that the massacre was not the result of race hatred, but was due to provocation and that the troops and police participated in the outrage. The reports that the Jews and revoloAlonists attacked the in habitants are false." The massacre of Jwa at Bialystok has shocked the country and the revelations which the committee is expected to make will only add fuel to the flames. The Golus. a newspaper edited by M. Ullanoff, a member of Parliament, con taining an account of the horrors and charging the authorities of Bialystok with deliberately planning the riot, was con fiscated when it appeared today. SUPPRESED FOR GIVING NEWS Newspapers Punished by Czar Gov ernor Thanked by Jews. ST. PETERSBURG. June 19. No disor ders at iBalystok have been reported to day. The City Council of Bialystok has demanded the abrogation of martial law. Seven St. Petersburg newspapers beside the Culos were confiscated today, two for their vigorous comment on the attitude of the authorities at Bialystok. and the others for long descriptive stories of the outrages from correspondents. " A curious incident is related at Minsk, where Governor Kurloff. ( whose trial for inciting the November excesses was urged by Delegate Arakantseff in the lower house of Parliament, was today thanked by a delegation of Jews for measures In stituted by him to prevent an outbreak. KALUGA REGIMENT IN' MUTINY Soldiers Refuse to Serve Against Striking Railroaders. KALUGA, Russia, June 19. There is ferment in the local garrison here, the soldiers sympathizing with the striking railroaders. The Second Reserve Regi ment today refused duty, saying they would not serve against their brothers. A battalion of fresh troops has arrived, from which patrols have been assigned to all the streets. The banks, post and telegraph offices are guardeded and the Government's house is surrounded by troops. ATTEMPT TO MURDER TREPOFF Woman Draws Revolver, but Is Seized Before Shooting. ST. PETERSBURG, June 19. A circum stantial report Is in circulation today of an attempt on the life of General Trepoff. commandant of the palace, by a well dressed woman, masquerading as Princess Narishkln. According to the rumor, the woman gained admittance to the palace, and when Trepoff appeared drew a re volver, but before It was fired was seized. The story is denied by the police. BOMB IS THROWN AT KOVNO. Governor of the Prison and Two Passers-by Are Injured. KOVNO. June 19. An unknown man threw a bomb at M. Humbert, governor of the prison here, and M.

Ansa Zedin,' who gave state's evidence at. the recent trial here of 36 revolutionists, which resulted in the seven death sentences, was killed today in his apartments by three un known men. Bialystok Settles Down Again. BIALYOSTK. Russia, June 19 (10 A. M.) The night passed quietly and the town is resuming its normal appearance. Some streetcars are running and several fac tories have resumed work. Fully half the patrols have been withdrawn from the streets here and in the suburbs. The bodies of more than 100 Jews were buried yesterday. Dozens of Christians were seen last night with sacks on their backs, coming from the desolated. Jewish quarter to submit to the examination of the soldiers and police. If the sacks con tained plunder, none of It was seized. The troops are so disposed that a re newal of the rioting is improbable. The Jews, however, continue barricading what was left of their houses. Many of them adopted the artifice of placing Ikons or crosses on their doors in order to avert the attacks of the Christians. ., Police Chief Warns Plunderers. ODESSA, June 19. Chief ot Police Grlg orleff today issued a proclamation re ferring to rumors of a renewal of the October excesses, in which he states that In case of disorderes the most extreme measures will be taken against plunderl era and rioters. Strike Averted tn Moscow. MOSCOW. June 19. The printers and their employers, who for several weeks have been on the verge of a rupture, reached an agreement tonight. The agreement removes one of the main t It costs to do things right; but it is worth all the money we put into it all the strain on brain and heart to do what's best for the American Public, and DO IT FIRST. Each month we put into our magaizne the very best we can get. We hold nothing back to "help out" the next issue we take care of that number when its time comes. This is how it works: "We sent Vance Thompson to St. Petersburg to get the story of the opening of the Russian Duma, expecting it in time for August; but, after the July magazine had been on the presses a week, the story unexpectedly arrived and it made us sit up. We confess that we didn't know much about the situation in Russia no more than other careful observers but this brilliant fact-story gave us our first real compre hensive view of what is going on there: The struggle-to-the- death between the puny Tsar, strong only in his "divine right," and the dead-in-earnest representatives of Russia's hundred and forty millions. We didn't hesitate a minute or count the costs any more than we counted consequences before publishing Jjawson's attack upon the Big Life Insm-anee Companies or Sinclair's exposure of Beef Trust Horrors. We felt that you ought to have the real inside facts now that you ma- fully under stand the biggest movement going on in the world today and the greater events that will surely happen. So we split open the already completed July number, jammed into it the sixteen extra pages (you sec their peculiar numbering) at an extra cost of several thousand dollars, a lot of night-work, and the chance of coining out late.
