THE MOEXIXG OREGOX1AX. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1907. POURS OUT LOVE IRK TI N All England Unites in Honoring the Veteran American Humorist. BIRRELL VOICES FEELING Great Banquet in London, at Which He Is Hailed as Finest Living Au thor Mark Twain's Char acteristic Reply. LONDON,- June 25. The finest tribute which Mark Twain has received In Eng land KB) the Pilgrim luncheon In his honor today. The hosts numbered 1500. Two notable speeches were made, that of Chief Secretary for Ireland Blrrell. In troducing Mark Twain, which was classic and full of humor, concluding with a tribute which brought the company to Its feet with prolonged cheering, and Mr. Clemens' reply, which was largely hu morous. The presence of many members of Par liament was particularly complimentary as they were obliged to absent them selves from one of the most important and Interesting debates of the season. There were only two toasts, "King Bd ward and the President of the United States," and "Our Guest, Mark Twain." All Love Mark Twain. Mr. Blrrell, In proposing the latter toast, said that Samuel Clemens was known to all good men and women in both hemi spheres, and to all boys and girls who are good for anything, as Mark Twain. The dead authors, he said, were a mighty army. They abounded on the shelves, but Mark Twain was the finest specimen extant of the living authors. They all loved him and were there to tell him so. He was not going to say what the world of a thousand years hence would think of Twain, but he was speaking for the men and- women of today and their children, to say what Twain had been to them. He remembmered in 1867 buying a copy of "The Jumping Frog," in the preface of which Twain was described as "the wild humorist of the Pacific Slope," and the "Moralist of the Main," but the au thor had proved to be an influence dissi pating national Influence and would leave the world richer than he found it. Humor and Sentiment Mixed. Mr. Clemens, replying, said t!iat Mr. Blrrell had touched very lightly upon his position as a moralist. He was glad to be recognized as such because he had suffered since he had been in England. When he came here, he said, he saw a placard announcing that "Mark Twain Arrives" and ''The Ascot Cup is Stolen," and he had no doubt that his character had suffered thereby. He was quite sin cere In his protest, as he never got the cup because he never had a chance to get it. Yet in a similar bantering mood he told story" after story, until, becoming more serious, he pathetically referred to the loss of his daughter. Concluding, he said: "I have received since arriving hun dreds and hundreds of letters from all conditions of people In England. There Is compliment and praise in them, but above all there is the note of affection; and affection is the most precious reward man can desire, whether for character or achievement. "The letters make me feel that In Eng land, as in America, I am not a stranger, not an alien, but at home." CARLOS MAT LOSE HIS THROSK Despotism Arouses Ware of Democ racy in Portugal.

Priest Tells of Parent's Revivlfica tion When Apparently Beyond Recovery. C DENVER, Colo., June 25.--(Special.) Drawn back from the portals of death by her beloved son. Rev. Percy A. Phillips, aged Mrs. W. J. Phillips, of Vancouver, B. C-, was resuscitated after her heart had ceased to beat. Physicians had pro nounced her dead a few moments before Father Phillips burst into the room where his mother lay. He had come across half a continent In response to a telegram telling of her illness to see her before she died. "Too late." burst from his lips as he entered the room where his mother lay apparently cold in death. The words reached the ears upon which death had not quite put its seal. The stilled heart began to beat sluggishly, then faster, the wrinkled eyelids fluttered, opened and the mother brought back from death smiled feebly upon her son. "I heard you and came back," she mur mured, yi wanted to die until I heard your voice. I was dead then, just float ing out and out, when I heard your voice and came back." From that time on Mrs. Phillips recov ered rapidly and when her son left her to return to Denver she was well on tlx road to recovery. Mrs. Phillips la 84 years old which makes her return to life still more wonderful. She suffered from indigestion which affected the heart. The white-haired mother had not seen her son for several years. "It was a miracle," declared Father Phillips, who has just reached Denver. "My mother was dead when I arrived. There had been absolute cessation of the heart beats a few minutes before, but when I spoke, life came into her cold clay. She declared It was the sound of my voice that brought her back to life. When I left Vancouver she was able to sit up and though not entirely recovered, is well on the road to it. "I had not seen my mother for years. They said before she died she was anxious to see me." Father Phillips is chancellor of the Denver Catholic diocese. REBELS IN WAR OFFICE Revolutionary Group Unearthed in Ministry's Department. ST. PETERSBURG. June 25.

URGE RESISTANCE BY FORCE Revolutionists Attack Emperor in Manifesto on Down. ST, PETERSBURG. June 25. The So cial Revolutionists and Group of Toll members of the late Parliament, number ing 1SS Deputies, yesterday issued their an ticipated manifestos summoning the peo ple to continue by force the struggle for land, liberty and popular representation. The documents, which proclaim that Parliament perished for defending the people's rights, are remarkable for the fact that the Emperor for the first time Is attacked by name for breach of peace, the revolutionary parliamentarians hav ing heretofore attributed all sins to the governing class owing to the lingering sentiment of loyalty to the Emperor among the peasant masses. The manifestos are regarded as being second Viborg addresses, but they lack the authority given to the latter by the participation of an Influential party, the Constitutional Democrats. The Social Democratic members of the late Parliament did not issue a manifesto, being unable to obtain the assent of their Parliamentary committee, most of whom are now in prison. They will issue a manifesto later.
