WINNERS GIVE BANQUET
Defeated Candidate Confident His
Ideas Will Xot He Pronounced
Dangerous Nathan Straus
Slams Brother Oscar.
NEW YORK, Xov. 12. A complimentary
dinner was Riven to V. II. Hearst tonight
at Delmonko's by I,ewls Stuyvesant
Chanler. V. S. Jackson, John S. Whalen,
Julius Hanson and F. V. Skene, his as
sociates on the Democratic and Indepen
dence league state tickets.
Besides Air. Hearst, there were 26
guests, all of whom were either associ
ated with him during his recent campaign
for Governor, or were successful judicial
candidates on the Independence Jeague
or other tickets. Mr. Chanler presided
with Mr. Hearst at his right and Recorder
Goft, who was elected to a place on the
Supreme Court bench, at his left. The
banquet was private.
Mr. Hearst said he was proud of the
cause that he and his candidates had
fought for and of its partial success. That
cauwe, he declared, was right and would
be recognized as such "as soon as the
din and dust and confusion of the battle
shall subside."
He knew that, when the Ideas he advo
cated during the campaign were thorough
ly understood, they would not be consid
ered dangerous nor anarchistic, but would
be recognized as Juot and patriotic.
He concluded his speech with thanks to
the various political elements who (sup
ported his candidacy. Including "the inde
pendent Republicans" and the "indepen
dent labor voters."
Nathan Straus, in a speech, declared
tn;it. if his brother, Oscar Straus, had
not been selected to be Secretary of Com
merce and Inbor in President Roosevelt's
f'abinet, he would have stumped the state
"and told the people what a man Mr.
Hearst is."
EXAMINE K EJECTED BALLOTS
New York Republicans Apply to
Court on Election.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. Formal ap
plication on behalf of the candidates
on the Republican state ticket at the
recent election for a judicial exami
nation of all void and protested ballots
In New York County was made today
by A. S. Gilbert in the Supreme Court.
Mr. Gilbert, who is a law partner of
Attorney-General Mayer, is chairman
of the law committee of the Republi
can state committee. The application
is for a writ of mandamus to have
the board of canvassers of the County
of New York show cause next Wednes
day why the court should not Judicially
examine all ballots rejected as void
and protested as marked for identi
fication. Justice McLean signed an order for
the board of canvassers to show cause
why the court should not examine tha
void and protested ballots, but declined
to sign another order for which appli
cation was made, to prevent the board
of canvassers from completing the can
vass. The Justice said the latter appli
cation was based on information too
vague to warrant an order.
Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff, of
the Republican state committee, issued
a statement tonight in which he said:
I have not been requested by any candi
date upon the Kepublicnn mate ticket to lnr
Ktltute any contest or proceeding: to open
ballot-boxes. So far us the procedure of
having a count of the void and protested
ballots by order of the court is concerned,
that is simply the method provided by the
election law to correct any errors that may
have been made by the board of Inspectors
of the various election districts. This pro
reedlns can be instituted by any candi
date who has been voted for in any election
district.
Of course this has nothing whatever to do
with the question of opening the ballot
bitxes, as these void and protested ballots
constitute a part of the returns of the in
spectors, placed In sealed envelopes and
sent In with the returns.
START CAMPAIGN l-'OR BRYAN
Anti-Trust Travelers Will Organize
Clubs as They Co.
NEW YORK. Nov. 12. At a meeting of
the Commercial Travelers- Anti-Trust
League today, W. C. Hoge, the president,
advocated W. J. Bryan for the next Dem
ocratic Presidential candidate, and urged
the members to assist In the establish
ment of clubs and work in behalf of Mr.
Bryan. Harry W. Walker, chairman of
the executive committee, spoke along the
same lines as Mr. Hoge.
It was voted that a committee be ap
pointed, to consist of 5000 Democratic
commercial travelers, to be known as the
"traveling committee." It was pointed
out that the members on their journeys
over the 1'nlted States will distribute lit
erature and organize Bryan clubs. It was
also voted to establish a "record bureau,"
in which articles attacking the trusts will
be kept, to be printed in pamphlet form
for distribution.
It was decided to give a dinner at least
once a month, to which Democrats of
prominence will be invited. Mr. Bryan
will be invited to be the guest at the first
of these dinners.
HE WINS BY LESS THAN 2000
Hock's Election Conceded, With Two
Counties Missing.
TOPFIKA, Kan.. Nov. 12. Official re
turns from 103 counties out of a total of
lis in the state give Governor Hoch a plu
rality of 19S4 votes over Colonel W. A.
Harris, Democrat. The returns from the
i wo missing counties will change these
llgures but slightly.
Hoch did not receive a majority of all
votes cast for Governor, but under the
laws of Kansas a plurality Is all that is
necessary to elect.
W. H. Ryan, chairman of the Demo
cratic state central committee, disbanded
headquarters in this city today and left
for his home in Pittsburg.
"It seems now." said Mr. Ryan, "that
Governor Hoch is re-elected by about 1500
plurality, although we have not received
the official returns complete. We will
make no contest, as we are well satisfied
with the result.'"
WOULD WIDEN THEIR MARKET
Chicago Merchants Approve Hill's
Canadian Reciprocity Idea.
CHICAGO. Nov. 12. Widespread belief
In the advisability of reciprocity with
Canada was expressed yesterday by Chl
cagoana as a result of the speech on the
topic delivered before the Merchants'
HEARS
Club by James J. Hill. Many prominent
men in finance and business declare, with
scarcely a dissenting voice, that they
were In entire accord with Mr. Hill's po
sition. It was pointed out that betterment of
trade relations with the Northern neigh
bor would mean an extension of the Can
adian market to the products of the Unit
ed States and that such an extension
wouiu probably benefit Chicago and the
Northwest. Even men who were not in
sympathy with the free-trade Ideas ex
pressed themselves in favor of some low
ering of the tariff wall as far as Canada
was concerned. It was decided that Amer
ican business men as a whole had lost
through the absence of better trade rela
tions with the Dominion.
Occasion was also taken to sound a note
of warning that the establishment of im
proved relations should not be long de
layed, for Canadians are declared to be
changing to eome extent from their form
er keen desire for reciprocity.
Absurd Election Bet Paid.
CALDWELL, N. J., Nov. 12. Dyed-in-the-wool
Republicans ate raw fish and
baked crow stuffed with sawdust and
green persimmons sprinkled with cayenne
pepper last night at a banquet, while 11
Democrats sat around, jeered and regaled
themselves on Jersey squab en casserole
and Blue Points on the half-shell. For
drink the Republicans had a quart of
hops and vinegar. The Democrats had
champagne. John Elmsdorf was the lone
Republican. He thought the Republican
party had such a hold in Kssex County,
the Home of United States Senator Dry
den, that its grip could not possibly be
shaken. Solomon Kent bet him a supper
for 12 that the Democrats would carry
the county. It was agreed that the loser
should eat crow wheie the other would
have Jersey squabs.
SEVEN DIRECTORS ELECTED
Portland Rowing Club Holds Annual
Meeting Year's Work Reviewed.
The annual meeting oi the Portland
Rowing Club was held at Y. M. C. A.
Hall last night. About 40 of the 300 mem
bers were present. After hearing reports
from all the officers and committees seven
directors were electa-. They arc: R. W.
. i.jur, P. E. Stowell, R. C. Hart. W. A.
King. A. R. Stringer. E. O. Gloss and A.
C. McMlcken. A meeting of the directors
will be held Tuesday. November 20, at the
office of R. W. Wilbur, in the Sherlock
building. The directors will appoint the
committees, elect officers and decide on a
number of other important matters.
During the past year the headquarters
of the club have been moved from Morrison-street
bridge to a point above the
Inman-t oulsen sawmill, where two boat
houses and a workshop were built. This
improvement cost over S1300 and $1000 was
expended in sending the rowing crew to
Worcester. Mass., to compete for the
championship of America. The cluo is
now just $1000 in debt, which is the same
amount as last year. In . roperty the club
has over $25,000 and over $11.0ou was paid
into the treasury last year. In number of
members Portland Rowing Club ranks
third In the North Pacific Association of
Amateur Oarsmen.
Not only in numbers does the Portland
club rank high, for last season the local
club won all the cups in the North Pacific
Association and was second in the race
for the championship of North America.
In that memorable race Nonpariel Rowing
Club, of Staten Island, near New York
City, defeated Portland by a bare half
length.
The next annual regatta of the North
Pacific Association will be held at Seattle
and the Seattle Athletic Club will have a
crew in the contest
FOR LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP
Columbia and Hill Promise Exciting
Contest on Friday.
Columbia University and Hill Military
Academy will meet on the gridiron next
Friday in a game for the championship
of the Interscholastic League. The com
ing contest should be even harder than
the Columbia-High School game, for both
teams are about evenly rr.atcued in weight
with the advantage in favor of Hill. The
High School team was about five pounds
lighter to the man than Columbia, but in
the cadets Columbia will meet a heavier
and well-coached team. The High School's
visions of winning the pennant and cham
pionship of the league went glimmering
Saturday, when Moore planted the pigskin
across her goal line.
If Columbia defeats Hill Friday, the
fight so far as the pennant and league
championship is concerned, will be ovter
with Columbia, the victor. On the other
hand, should Hill win from Columbia,
the cadets will still have the High School
to defeat before they can claim the cham
pionship. If the cadets win from Colum
bia, there is little doubt that they will
de'eat the High School. However, if the
High School should defeat Hill, after Hill
had defeated Columbia, it would take
a first-class dope artist to decide which
of the three teams is entitled to the
championship.
Eltot Approves New Football.
onsTnv Nov. 12. Football under the
new rules, as demonstrated in the Har
vard-Carlisle game at camonage atu,5
day, meets with favorable comment frteii
TiH,r,t Charles W. Eliot, of Harvard
University, in an interview made public
today. President iiiot attenaea Satur
day's contest and expressed his enjoy
nt th fame, which, he said, ap
peared to him "free from unnecessary
roughness.
Football is considered on probation at
Harvard this year. A committee ap
pointed several months ago is still dis
cussing the subject of athletic sports with
special reference to football, but has
not yet submitted its report. President
Eliot's views, as expressed today, it is
expected, will have some weight with the
committee in recommending that football
be retained.
Pacific College in League.
The report that Pacific College has
withdrawn from the State Basketball
League is not true. Pacific University
has drawn out, but a message received
from Newberg says Pacific College is
in to stay. Mr. Grilley, of Portland Y.
M. C. A., says that the statement made
by him that Physical Instructor Wilson,
of Newberg, was the cause of Newberg's
withdrawal, was a result of a misappre
hension. No reason is given for the ac
tion of Pacific University. The cham
pions of the league will be considered
the champions of Oregon. All profession
alism will be strictly prohibited and every
participant will be compelled to register
in either the Amateur Athletic Union or
the North American Athletic League.

ANARCHY RENDS COUNTRY
Outrages Upon Foreigners and Tri
bal Wars Weary Great Powers.
British Fleet Ordered to
Join French at Tangier.
GIBRALTAR, Nov. 12.-The British At
lantic fleet is to leave here for Tangier.
In conjunction with a French fleet of
warships, it will engage in a demonstra
tion in Moorish waters. The British war
ships were provisioned tonight on very
short notice.
During the last few months conditions
in the interior of Morocco have con
stantly grown worse. Foreigners have
been assaulted and outraged, towns have
been raided, Jews have been persecuted,
foreign vessels on the coast have been
fired upon and, while the diplomatic rep
resentatives of the powers concerned
have protested to the Sultan, their de
mands have been received with slight at
tention. The agitation against foreigners is re
ported to be on the increase, and Spain.
ha3 found it necessary to send a war
ship to the Moroccan coast to remove
Spanish subjects. Insurgent tribesmen
have been active in creating disorder
among themselves and the forces of the
Sultan and those under Bu-Hamara, the
pretender to the throne, have come in
contact in recent months, with victory
first on one side and then on the other.
The diplomats at Tangier have protest
ed more than once to the Moroccan au
thorities against the lack of protection
for foreigners, but no improvement has
been forthcoming. In fact, the local au
thorities have been increasingly aggres
sive and even insolent in their treatment
of the local representatives of France and
Spain. France already has one or two
cruisers in Moroccan waters.
The American mission to Fez under the
American Minister to Morocco, Mr. Gum
mere, is at the capital for the purpose,
among other things, of obtaining satis
factory assurance for the safety of Amer
icans in Morocco, as well as indemnity for
outrages committed in Morocco upon per
sons under American protection.
The international conference held at Al
geciras this Spring agreed upon certain
reforms for Morocco, and the Moorish
representatives agreed to the provisions
of the conference, which were accepted
and signed by the Sultan on June 18. The
reforms are to go into effect the end of
this year.
RAISULI APPOINTED GOVERNOR
Sultan Hoonrs Bandit Chief Fanat

TANGIER, Nov. 12. Official news of
the appointment of Raisuli. the bandit
chief, to be Governor of the town of
Arzilla and neighboring provinces has
been received here. This nomination is
made by the Sultan. The territory under
Raisuli's authority extends from Tangier
to El-Raisch.
It is reported here that Mr. Gummere,
the American Minister, paid what is be
lieved to be his final visit to the Sultan
four days ago at Fez. Mohammedans at
Fez are beginning to display dissatisfac
tion with the prolonged sojourn in Fez
of the mission of which Mr. Gummere is
the head.
All Goes Well About Morocco.
PARIS, Nov. 12. Foreign Minister
Pinchon, in an interview today regard
ing the Moroccan situation, declared that
the understanding between France and
Spain concerning the measures to be
taken in Morocco was not complete. He
added:
"The terms of the Algeciras convention
will be strictly followed. Nothing has oc
curred warranting a suspicion that the
Berlin government is disposed to inter
pose difficulties. The organization of the
State Bank is proceeding as rapidly as
possible."
LAST CHANCE FOR CHURCH
Has One Year After December 1 1 to
Secure Its Property.
PARIS, Nov. 12. The debate cn the
application of the church and state sep
aration law was resumed in the Chamber
of Deputies today. M. Piou, amid ap
plause from the Right, insisted that they
should negotiate a settlement at Rome.
Replying to numerous interpellations,
M. Briand, the Minister of Education,
cleared up an important point relative to
the application of the law. He declared
that after December 11 this year, church
property "could" be handed over to local
authorities, but after December 1L 1907,
it "must" be awarded to them. All
cultural associations formed after next
month, however, might eventually ac
quire such church property, should the
state so decide.

Japanese Destroyer Protects Sealers
at Copper Islands.
VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 12. According
to advices by the Empress of China,
which arrived this afternoon, a telegram
to Japanese newspapers from Vladivostok
reports great excitement occasioned there
by the report that the converted cruisers
Silka and Kelima, which have been doing
patfol duty at the seal rookeries oft Cop
per Islands, have been sunk by a Japa
nese destroyer in the neighborhood of the
seal islands.
The Japanese Mail discredits the re
ports, saying, if such disaster has oc
curred at the Islands, it is probably due
to floating mines.
For the past two years excitement has
been occasioned because of, organized
sealing raids at the Copper Islands by
Japanese sealing schooners. Last year
six schooners with a field gun made a
raid, in which 21 Japanese and a number
of Russians, the total unknown, wore
killed. The Japanese on that occasion
were driven off, leaving 800 seals killed
on the rookery. This Spring Russia dis
patched three cruisers the Silka. Kolima

quence the majority of the Japanese seal

schooners' crews raided St. Paul rookery.
Baron Bruggen, of the Kamtchatkan
Development Company, which has leased
the Copper Island rookeries from Russia,
was in Japan protesting to the Japanese
government at Copper Islands when the
Empress of China left. He was despond
ent because the Japanese officials seemed
to be taking advantage of the weak state
of Prussia to put off action. None of the
raiders were prosecuted on return home,
nor was any. action taken by the govern
ment again.st the raiders who landed at
the American rookeries in Behring Sea.
Baron Bruggen was gathering data re

Islands and at Kamtchatka.

Red Tape to Save Pope's Feelings.
ROME. Nov. 12. The Vatican authori

King George desires to see the Pope,
the latter will willingly accede to his

SLAVES ON OYSTER SHIP
EIGHT OF CREW MAKE CHARGE
OF PEONAGE.
Claim They "Were Beaten,, Abused,
Half Starved and Forced to
Work Iike Slaves.
NORFOLK. Va., Nov. 12. Protesting
that they -were abused, mercilessly
assaulted, half starved and forced to
work almost beyond human endurance,
eight men, two whites and six blacks,
were brought here today by United
States Marshals West and Miller, who
had rescued them from the Chesapeake
Bay oyster schooner J. S. Whiting. A
warrant was issued for the arrest of
the owner of the vessel on a charge
of peonage.
The story told by Robert Taylor and
Elijah Murphy, white men, is a repe
tition of all the shameful abuses of the
oyster industry. According1 to these
men Captain Whiting forced his crew
to work like slaves, fed them only the
cheapest food In small quantities, beat
them when he felt like it and kept
them prisoners aboard the schooner.
Only by smuggling a letter ashore,
telling their plight, were the men able
to communicate with friends and ob
tain relief, according to their story.
Captain Whiting opened their mall and
refused to permit them to post letters.
When complained to the captain is re
ported to have said: "To h I with
Uncle Sam's mall." It is expected that
when he arrives he will be charged

Growing Popular Discontent to Be
Reflected in Reichstag.
BERLIN, Nov. 12. What will probably
prove to be the stormiest session in the
history of the Reichstag will open tomor
row. The country is seething with dis
content to an unparalleled extent; bitter
ness and personal criticism of the Kaiser
are rampant. In many quarters the sug
gestiqn is made that the Reichstag's first
act ought to be to address the throne ex
pressing the people's bitter mood and de
termination to demand relief from the
grievances they are suffering. The gov
ernment Is to be assailed from practically
all sides. Every party has a different list
of complaints and has mapped out its
own scheme of attack.
Three questions of paramount import
ance engage immediate attention the
meat famine, colonial scandals and the
language question in Poland. The gov
ernment will be compelled to assume a
weak position on account of the enfeebled
condition of Chancellor von Buelow,
whose oratorical and diplomatic qualities
hitherto have been the Ministry's chief
reliance. Whether the Kaiser has an
other Minister worthy of Herr Bebel's
steel remains to be seen. The Chancellor
will reappear in the Reichstag for the
first time since his dramatic collapse last
April, but Is believed to be hopelessly un
equal to the onslaughts awaiting the gov
ernment. A NEW NATIONAL HYMN?
"The Star Spangled Banner" Is Too
Tlnoat Rending.
North American Review.
Will not some one kindly compose a
new National hymn? We should dislike
to lose "The Star-Spangled Banner" unit-fly
because of Its patriotic origin on board
an American frigate during a British
bombardment, and we love to recall such
incidents as that in Castle Garden, when
Daniel Webster, to the distress of his
wife, and the delight of the audience, set
the example of rising, which has since
become common, and, by main strength
and with mighty voice, joining In the
chorus with Jenny Lind. But, after all,
only the words are American, the atro
cious music being that of "Anacreon in
Heaven," composed by an Englishman. It
is therefore distinctively National only in
part, and after nearly a century of trying
service might well be laid upon the shelf.
A yet more efficient reason for seeking a
substitute is found in the fact that the
American people have been trying in

"The Star-Spangled Banner" at evening
colors. From time to time the sugges
tion Is made that this substitution be
generally made, but here again objection
arises from the fact that only the words
of "America," too, are American. On
British ocean steamships a prior right is
tacitly accorded to the British, and "God
Save the King" is sung. While we per
sist in adherence to "The Star-Spangled
Banner." it is fitting that this recogni
tion should be extended to our British
cousins, although as a matter of fact
their claim upon the air for a national
hymn is no stronger than ours and ma
terially weaker than that of others. It
was composed by the Frenchman, Lully,
in the 17th century, was adapted to -the
House of Hanover by Handel and prompt
ly taken over by Switzerland for "Rufst
du, mein Vateriand," although the Han
overians never abandoned it, "Hell dir im
Siegerkranz," not "Die Wacht am Rhein,"
being to this day the national hymn of
Germany. Consequently, the eve-song of
British. Swiss, German and American

consist of the same music and a jumble
of words by Carey, Harries, Rev. Samuel

LUYTIES
Over half a century ago, Herman Luyties, a German physician
and scientist, and a firm believer in Homeopathy, as taught by
the famous Hahnemann, came to America and opened in St.
Louis, a laboratory; under his personal directions, all the reme
dies of the Homeopathic school were prepared. Succeeded upon
his death by his two sons, the fame of "Luyties" has continued
to grow, and today tlreir products are "standard" the world
over, bearing testimony to the thoroughness and fidelity to
truth of the trained German Scientist.
We are sole agents in the Northwest for Luyties famous
Homeopathic remedies and preparations. The gentleman in
charge of this department studied and worked for years with
the Luyties Company, he and his assistants are skilled in their
work, and there are no preparations, simple or complicated,
which we cannot supply promptly, correctly and of un
questioned quality.
