THE 3IORMXG- OREGOMAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1908 5 DUDLEY OPPOSES FORCE IN RELAND Former Tory Lord-Lieutenant Turns Against Party's Policy. NO COERCION IS INTENDED Birrcll Says Government Will Seek to Win Good Will of People by Removing Cause of Land Agitation. LONDON". Feb. 3.-The Earl of Dudley, Conservative, who was Tvord Lieutenant of Ireland in Mr. Balfour's Ministry, J!Hy-3,' created a sensation among the I'nionist benches of the House of Ixirds this evening by disassociating himself en tirely from the policy of coercion of Ire land advocated by the opposition. The leaders of the Liberal government, the Karl of Dudley said, were not going far enough in their conciliatory methods to please him. At the conclusion of his remarks the Karl of Dudley was cheered heartily by the supporters of the government. Referring to the same subject in the House of Commons. Augustine Birrell, Chief Secretary for Ireland, refused defi nitely to put the crimes act Into opera tion. He said he loathed boycotting, but, believing the disturbances in Ireland to be due to Removable causes, the govern ment proposed to continue its present policy of trying to gain the good will of the lriyh people. UNITE AGAINST FRANCO (Continued from First rage.) tended by the Prince of Wales, Prince Chr.rles of Bourbon, the Duke of Aosta, a cousin of King Emmanuel; a special French embassy and detachment of tiie foreign regiments of which the lute King was honorary colonel. The condition of Queen Amclio, con trary to rumors, is relatively good. The Duke of Oporto, brother of the lat,e King, has established li is residence at the palace, .where he will remain for a time? The Countess of Paris, Queen Amclic's mother, is on her way here. Charles Page Bryan, the American Min ister lo Portugal, was the first diplomat to offer condolences to the royal family. Little by little Usbon, is regaining its nornuil aspect, although ail the public buildings and the palace are still guarded by cordons of soldiers and detachments of the municipal guard. A number of the newspapers of the city have suspended publication. New King's Speech to Cabinet. The opening session of the new Council was held today, and the young monarch. King Manuel II, placed himself in the hands of his Ministers. He appeared be fore iheni, and in a voice shaking with emotion, said: "I am yet without experience either in science or in politics. 1 place myself en tirely in your hands, needing and believ ing in ypur patriotism and wisdom." Arrests are being made by the wholesale In IJsbon and all suspicious persons still at liberty are under police surveillance. The Portuguese frontier is being closely guarded to prevent the escape of suspects. The authorities are maintaining a Btrlct censorship on all outgoing telegraph mes sages.

The' newspaper Notlcias says one of the regicides who was killed was a Spaniard, who was taken into custody recently in connection with the discov cry'of a deposit of bombs, but who was later released. One of the men now under arrest Is an Italian, who played in the orchestra of a theater in Lisbbn. This man is in an extreme condition of hysteria. The food in tile prison is served him -vlthout knives or forks, for fear that he will kill himself. King Manuel has announced his in tention of summoning Parliament and of taking the oath to preserve the in tegrity of the kingdom before that body. The Chamber, which was dis solved by Premier Franco, will re assemble before the holding of the regular elections. The new President of the Cabinet, Rear-Admiral Francisco Joaquim Fer relra Doamaral. belongs to the famous Ferrelra family of Portugal. He has been a conspicuous naval officer for many years, and was at one time su perintendent of the Lisbon arsenal, and later commander-in-chief of the Por tuguese naval forces. He also served s Minister of Marine. He is a mem ber of the so-called Progressist-Dissident party. DOX MIGIKIj IS HORRIFIED Hopes All Portugal Will Defend Queen Ainelle and Manuel. VIENNA. Feb, 3. A representative of Dom Miguel de Braganza. pretender to lite, throne itf Portugal, has made this statement in response to a request: "The Duke, who left for Italy, heard of the terrible affair through the newspapers just before his departure, and expressed his abhorrence at the shameless deed. To give an opinion respecting the causes of the crime and its consequence is impossi ble, but the Duke sincerely hopes that those responsible, fur its perpetration would pause before the grief of the un happy widow and her son and that all self-respecting element's of Portuguese so ciety would unite to defend them.'" STAIXKI) WITH SOX'S BLOOD Dowager Queen Throws Herself on .Murdered King's Body. MADRID. Feb. 3. The Government. has ordered the cruiser Prlncesa de Asturlas to proceed to Lisbon. The dispatch of the cruiser lo Lisbon it is explained by, the newspapers, is to put the warship at the disposition of the Spanish Minister. The Lisbon correspondent of the Im pareial says that when the Dowager Queen, Maria Fia, arrived at the Arsenal the doctors were bathing the faces of the King and the Crown Prince. The Queen threw herself on the body of her son, the Kins and the-doctors mere obliged to re move her by force. When the Queen arose her robe was crimson with blood; then she- swooned. ! All travelers crossing the Portuguese j frontier are being subjected to rigorous J examination. Advices received here from i Huelva say that Portuguese famines are I taking refuge in great numbers on the ! island of Cristina and at Ayamonte. a Spanish town on the Portuguese frontier.

The Spanish residents of Oporto have asked that a warship be sent there. j NO SYMPATHY FOR TYRANTS j Hungarian Chamber Refuses to Oon- ! demn Assassination. i . J . BL'DA PEST. Feb. J. The Hungarian 1 Chamber of Deputies today refused to vote a motion condoling with the royal family of Portugal on the death of King Carlos. The Chamber, however, voted for a substitute as follows: "The views of the Hungarian Parlia ment of freedom are such that the house could not dedicate a posthumous resolu tion to a King who had abolished consti tutional government and instituted a dic-tatorshlp.'- FRANCO'S REIGN IS ENDED RESIGNS AFTER CONFERENCE WITH THE QUEEN. Sends Out Reassuring Dispatches and Declares Loyalty to Dynasty. Demonstration Against Him. PARIS, Feb. 4. A . dispatch to the Petite Republique from Lisbon says that the minister of war there has categorical ly denied that a revolution has broken out at Oporto or that there have been disturbances in other parts of the country and has issued the following statement: "There is not the slightest agitation either of persons in private life or the military. The rate of exchange remains firm despite Saturday's tragedy and the existing crisis." The correspondent says the fact that a government statement emanates from the minister of war means that the country is in a state of siege and under the order of the minister of war. The Matin has received the following telegram from ex-Premier Franco: "The horrible tragedy has quite pros trated me, but it does not shake m faith in the future of the country and the dynasty. Yesterday at a meeting of the council- of state I and the other chiefs of the monarchical parties declared to the King that we would unite around the throne and support the new ministry." Foreign Minister Pichon was giving ex pression to' the sorrow and sympathy of France for Portugal in the chamber of deputies today wiien he was Interrupted by Marcel Sembat, Socialist, who cried out "The assassins were provoked by the dictatorship of Franco." The voicing of this sentiment was applauded from the extreme left. M. Bvlsson, president -of the chamber, refused M. Sembat the floor. The Temps today publishes a dispatch from Lisbon saying that after a long conversation with Queen Amelie, Premier Franco announced that he had resigned, saying that he believed this step would restore calm in Portugal. The violent demonstration in front of Franco's house, the correspondent continues, doubtless convinced hyn of the wisdom of this course. It is declared that Franco in tends to leave Portugal. BRITAIN WILL NOT MEDDLE Sends Fleet Away to Destroy Foun dation of Rumors. LONDON, Feb. 3. It has been rumored for some time past that Great Britain proposed to interfere to restore order in Portugal, and on occasion arising it has been said that there would bo joint action to this end on the part of Great Britain and Spain. Official opinion here is largely in sym pathy with Senor Franco, who, it is be lieved, has been working for the best in terests of his country. The British Atlantic fleet, which Is now at Vigo, was to have visited Lisbon this week. To avoid the appearance that the British government is .attempting to in terfere in Portuguese politics, only the battleship Exmouth, with Vice-Admiral Sir Asheton G. Curzon-Howe on board, and one cruiser, will go to the Tagus. Existing treaties between Great Brit- ain and Portgular bind the former power not only to protect Portugal from foreign invasion, but also to render aid to the throne in case of any internal revolution, and this alliance has. In the past, aided greatly in preserving the peace of Portugal. King Edward of Eng land, and the late King Carlos were close personal friends. GIBRALTAR, Feb. 3. The second British cruiser squadron left here this morning, steaming to the west. It was at first reported that the vessels were going to Lisbon, but It is understood now that the squadron will not go to the Tagus, unless thesituation in Por tugal takes on an unexpected turn, jeopardizing the lives or property of British subjects. SOLEMN WARNING TO CZAR Russian Paper Hints He .May Share Carlos' Fate. ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 3. The tragic occurrences at Lisbon have created a deep impression on all sections' of so ciety here, and the newspapers that ap peared today comment freely on the events that occurred." The Russ; In a dariug style, draws a thinly veited parallel between conditions in Portugal and Russia and warns the government in almost so many words that there is- danger of a similar event here. The lamentable and awful tragedy in Portugal, the paper says, was due to the fact that the King did not understand his people, and was attempting to stem by dictatorial methods of repression the irresistible striving of the masses to take part in the' government. The tragedy happened -at the very moment .when Pre mier Franco seemingly had succeeded in restoring order by- a series of unprece dented repressive measures. The Novoc Vremya, although attribut ing the direct execution of the plot to anarchists, to whom all government is ob noxious, also connects the crime and the dictatorship of Franco, which met with both open and secret resistance from all political parties.

King of Portugal, Lisbon: I hasten to express to you and your bereaved Queen mother my heartfelt condolence by reason of the tragic death of your royal father and brother.

FIERCE FIGHT IN MOROCCO Moors Suddenly Spring l"p and Try. to Surround French. PARIS, Feb. 3. Eight Frenchmen were killed and 150 wounded in a desperate con flict which the French forces in Morocco have had with natives in the south. Word of this engagement was received here to night from General d'Amade. the com manding general in Morocco, who reports that a French column commanded by Colonel Boutegourd was suddenly at tacked by a vast horde of Arabs, while marching to the south for the purpose of punishing the Chaouia tribesmen. The combat opened at midday yester day. Thousands of Moors seemed to spring out of the hills and sought to sur. round the French troops. A tierce fight followed, which lasted two hours, the finemy finally 'retiring with heavy losses. SOLDIERS DIE IN SNOW STORM Terrible Death of Score of French men in Algiers. AIN SEFRA. Algeria.

A section of the company succeeded in reaching Fort Hassa in a pitiable condition, but many are unaccounted for. No Billboards in Berlin. Tiie Circle. Billboards for advertising purposes are prohibited in Berlin. Their placo is taken by pillars or columns erected at street corners. - These columns, which are usually of wood and iron, are about 12 feet high and three feet In diameter. Built at the edge of the sidewalk, they form a con spicuous feature of street life in that city. It is interesting to note that the mat ter displayed on these columns is more In the nature of reading notices than of pic tures. The privilege of erecting and using those advertising columns is awarded by the city to the highest bidder. Accord ing to the terms of the lease now In force, the city receives an annual rental of about $5,200. but cannot grant a similar privilege to any one else. The life of the lease is ten years. The price which the successful bidder may charge for space Is regulated by the Berlin authorities: All posters be fore they are put up must be approved by the police. Except' in special cases, the advertising. space is awarded accord ing to the order of application. The city reserves the-right to demand the posting of its notices free. Plants' Temperature at Night, Youth's Companion. The "horticultural hygrometer." re cently .brought out in England, is de signed lo ennble gardeners and cul tivators of delicate plants to foresee the probable minimum temperature at night. The Instrument is based upon the fact that this temperature cannot easily fall below the dew-point ob served at nightfall. It consists of a wet and a dry-bulb thermometer, and is furnished with a cylindrical scale which connects the dew-point with the difference between the readings of the two thermometers. By turning the scale to correspond with . this differ ence, the observer can see at a glance, without the use of tuoies, whether the dew-point is below freezing, and con sequently whether a frost is to be ex pected during the ensuing night.

MAKING RIGHT FRIENDS Ingratiating Himself With Leaders ajid Men of Departments Ear nest, Faithful Worker Who Is on Hand All the Time. OREGOX1AX NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 3. Representative Hawley, of Oregon, !s "making good." He has shown during his brief career In Con gress that he Is made of the right kind of stuff. If the people of his district have the good sense to return him term after term, they will find at the end of a few years that they have one of the strongest Representatives from the en tire West. . Though untrained in a legislative ca reer. Mr. Hawley is rapidly learning the ropes in Washington, and is laying a sound foundation for a successful con gressional career. He did not come to Washington with a reputation; he was not known as a Jiumorist; he was not heralded as a "boy orator'' or "boy wonder": he was not advertised as a freak of any sort. He was Just a plain, new Congressman, to he Judged by his' actual worth. He made no pretenses: he claimed nn honon. v The men who are recognized leaders in Congress are continually looking lor hew material. They carefully scrutinize every new member: take his Imeasure, and." if he is worth while, they watch his development. There is always room for good men: there is always a demand for new leaders. But leaders are not devel oped in a session: they work up to high position by degrees. The eyes of the leaders have been on Mr. Hawley. and their first Impression is very favorable. Hawley Karnest and 'Faithful. Talk with members who have come to know Hawley at all Intimately and they tell you that they are Impressed by his earnestness, his sincerity and his faith ful devotion to duty. He has wisely chosen tor' play a modest part during his first term, as is becoming in -every man who is just entering upon a congressional career. Mr. Hawley has not undertaken to thrust himself prominently into the limelight, for he. like ail otber new mem bers, is "on probation." Yet he is work ing in a quiet way in behalf of his state and his district, and is all the while familiarizing himself with the work of Congress. What Is equally important, ho is extending his circle of friends among those members who are worth while. Friends are worth more to a man in Congress than columns upon columns of speeches. Friends help in passing legis lation: few votes were ever made by speeches. With all his modesty, Representative Hawley has demonstrated a determina tion to get fair treatment at the hands of those with whom he deals. He Is not' so modest as to allow others to take un fair advantage of him hot for a minute. He is ready to deal squarely with every man, and he demands that every man deal as fairly with hln. Very Friendly With Jones. A close friendship has grown up be- tween Representative Hawley, of Ore gon, and Representative Jones, of Wash ington: not a political combination in any sense, but a personal fellowship. Jones is of the same rugged, frank and square type, as Hawley, and he knows how to fight when a scrap is necessary. Jones is by all means the most successful Con gressman who was ever sent here, from the Pacific Coast, but he began as Haw ley is beginning, and developed slowly.

There is this to be remembered: no Congressman ever made a record in his .'first session; one term Is not sufficient to develop a mjin in Congress. But one term will show the type of man and what may reasonably, be expected, and the first impression of Mr. Hawley is a most favorable one. ' A great deal of the work of a Con gressman is in the Government Depart ments: there are innumerable matters re quiring his personal attention. There are postoffices to create and to fill; mail routes to establish and to improve; rural routes to establish: pnsion cases to be adjusted: land entries to be brought up for action, and a myriad of other things of which the average voter has no con ception. Liked in His Departments. Mr. Hawley has devoted a great deal of his time to these affairs. He has made the acquaintance of members of the cabi net handling these respective matters: he has also made the acquaintance of bureau chiefs. In the Departments, as in Con gress, he has made a most favorable Im pression, for he demands only What is right, though he insists on getting what ever is right. He is not Juggling these matters for the petty political advantage that might be involved: he is acting al ways in the public interest. Such men are always welcome in the Departments they are rare. Since Congress convened, Mr. Hawley has. not missed a session. He has learned to follow the example of the successful men. and be on hand, even though the proceedings may be dull and uninterest ing. The big men are always present: the successful men are In constant attend ance. It is by being present that they are able to take advantage of favorable op portunities that arise at unexpected, mo ments, and enable them to secure, action on local legislation. So far Mr. Hawley has had no legislation In shape to call up for consideration, but he has shown his good faith and his reward will. come in due season. As a member of the committee on agri culture, Mr. Hawley has devoted himself to the investigations and hearings wTiich will form the hasls of the agricultural appropriation bill soon to be reported. It was all new to him:. the nature of the work and its extent, but he has given it conscientious study, and his aid in shap ing the 'bill will be of material assistance to the committee. ' The committee-room, by the way. is a splendid place to make friends. There again Mr. Hawley has made the ntost of his opportunities. It Is with regret that he left his- work to make the trip back to Oregon in or der that he might register, as required by the primary election law. for that trip takes 4iim out of Congress for practically two weeks. l'et he is not at fault for go ing; for failure to go would mean that he could not go before the. people and ask for re-election. That unfortunate oversight In the law if it was oversight Is a great handicap to the delegation in Congress. The successful man in Congress is not the man who makes the most speeches or the ' man who makes the most display. Not one of the leading men in Congress thrusts himself into the arena oftener than is necessary. The prolific talkers do little else. Yet it is not required that a member shall forever remain silent. But if the new member be wise, he will remain In the background during his first term, and if he is the right sort, he will be brought forward when lie enters upon his second. There are orators enough to fill tiie Congressional Record: what the leaders want is workers. The successful man. when he begins to talk, speaks on local legislation only: If he has the capacity he may later in his career take up topics of National Importance. Buying the' Bride.

The commonwealth also connected the former state officers with Sanderson in the conspiracy charge by showing that they certified ! bills containing the wrong item number on the schedule upon which Sanderson was given the Capitol furnishing contract.
