The incident on which the cantata "Fair Kllen" is based belongs to the period of the Tndian mutiny of the year ST.7. when Scotch Highlanders under Sir Colin Campbell, afterwarda lord Clyde, broke through the rebellious Sepoys and saved the besieged town of Lucknow, where British troops and civilians. In cluding many women and children, were Imprisoned and dally in danger of deain from the rebels' shot and shell. The besieged were surrounded with upwards of 10.000 Indian rebels and for months they expected the British troops to break through the enemy's Itnea and save their lives. Among tho besieged whr a Highland Scotch girl, who one night gave a Bcrearr. of delight and said that she had heard tho soand of bagpipe music made by ad vancing Highlanders. Her word was doubted, but she persisted in her story. And sure enough, arising above the noise of battle came the piercing pibroch of Highland bagpipers, forming part of the army of avengers under Sir Colin Camp hell. It Is satd that the pipers played as they and the army came on, 'The Camp bells Are Coming." The town was saved. The name of the heroine who said she had heard the bagpipes at Lucknow is a matter of dispute. Some give her name as Ellen Campbell, and the Scotch poel, Alexander Mclaggan, who died in Edin burgh In 1879, gives the girl's name in his poem, "Dinna Te Hear It,' as Jessie Brown. Some writers even deny that the historical Incident mentioned ever took place, but this objection la not usually made if any big Scotchmen are around. The music is martial and patriotic, as befits the occasion. READY TD FORM EXCHANGE J!()ltl Wll.li MKKT TKXT TIKSHAY XKJHT. Probable That yunrters for w Hranih Will Be Secured With Board of Trade.

TTash !i:gton, April 9 The bill recently pawed by ongres3 and signed by the President, authorizing the Grays Harbor A Columbia Fiver Railroad Company to build across Three-Tree Point military reservation, near the mouth of the Columbia River, -was favorably recommended by the War Tvpartment. In Its report to Congress the department said: Thin MM wa referred to T.Iutenant CVlor.el W. Krtw!er, Corp of Engineer, in charge of engineering wrk in the lo cality tn quefln. who submitted a report uion the Fubjert under dt of I"ktfwnbfr JK, Vrt7. a copjr of which Is submitted herewith. The Three Tre Point Reservation ts ftlt utrd on the rl(tht bank of the "VMimbia Hivr about 22 mil atve It mouth, and vu t apart (or military purposes by or der of the rrmiMent. It 1b now occupied for military purposo. So far as the Interests of the Engineer Department are concerned thre would be no objection to granting a right of way through this reservation, but It Is thought that the Interest of the United States would be better safeguarded by a measure following the draft submitted by IJeuten-ant-Colone Jtoeler, with hi report, as a substitute for Senate bill 62t. It In therefore suggested that all of the bill following the enacting clause be struck out. and that the following b substituted In lieu thereof: That the Sevrtary of War may authorize the Grays Harbor r Columbia River Rall wsy Company to build a raltroad and tele graph line through the Three Tree Point Military Reservation, on Columbia River, and to that end may set aside for occu pancy by said Grays Harbor i'oMumhia Ulver Railway Company euch ground, and no mnre, as Is actually required for the necessary trnrk. embankments or trestles: Provided. That the ground so occupied shall remain the. property of the United States under such pollre and other military con trol as the military authorities may deem it necessary to exercise: Provided, further. That the said railway company shall com pensate the Cntted States for all timber that mar be rut and shall pay such reason able annual rental for such right of way as may be fixed by the Secretary of War: Provided further. That the location of grade of said railroad and other details of con struction within the limits of the reserva tion, also all matters pertaining to the op eration and maintenance of said railroad, shall be under euch regulations as the Sec retary of War may deem It advlsabte to establish In the interest of the military service and as a safeguard against fire to Government timber lands: provided far ther. That nothing in this act shall be consumed as authorizing the use of any portion of the reservation as a borrow pit for fills and embankments, unless specially authorized to dn so by the Secretary of War. and upon the payment of such com pensation as may be fixed by him. Sec. 2. That this act phall be null and void If actual construction of the road be not commenced within two years from date of approval hereof Sec. 3- That Congress reserves the right to alter, amend or repeal this act. SPOIL WELL-LAID PLOT Plan to Cover TTp Evidence of Mur der Foiled by laborers. SPOKANE. Wash., April 9. An attempt to hide the murder of Frank Moreau. shot through the head, by placing the body on the Northern Pacific tracks at Cheney, was discovered this morning by e farmer, who notified the section men. They had been at the spot where the body was found a few minutes before. Boarding a handcar, they bent efforts to reach the body before the passenger eaetbound came along, due in a few moments. They reached the body in time to drag it off the track and get the handcar out of the way when the train whizzed by. The Sheriff, deputies and a posse are scouring the country. Moreau was employed in a construction camp near Cheney. His pockets had been rifled of everything ex cept letters. MT. HOOD BREWING CO. Has a fine brew of bock beer bottled in pints and quarts, which will be ready for the market on April 13. Spectacles l.00 at Men-era, IS NOT THE WHOLE THING STATEMENT NO. 1 IS ANALYZED BY JUDGE GEORGE. Says It Makes 1cplsla tors Forswear Themselves, and Asks, "What of Will of Teople of Nation?" PORTLAND, Or.. April 9 (To the Editor.) The theory of forcing Statement No. 1 Is impracticable. It la profitless agitation that party candidates pledge themselves to vote airalnst their party principles. While public sentiment rightly tends toward popular elec tion of Senators, it Is not yet law, and Oregon cannot make it law. Vfe cannot nullify ths Federal Constitution, nor should we disre gard its requirement that Senators be elected by absolutely free and independent legis lators. Disguise it as we may through hon esty of motive, we are defying the supreme law. The National Constitution ought to ba amended, but It Is not practicable to think that we can force a change by holding up our Oregon Republican candidates to pledges that they will vote for members of opposite party, and. until amendment, we should be mindful of the constitutional rights of all legislators and of the people of the United States, and work along reasonable and practicable lines, and not by evasion and force, or durese. Xo stati law could be valid that demanded State ment No. 1 because no state law can either regulate the election of United States Sen ators, or require legislator to abdicate their const ittit tonal rights and privileges. When, we hold up members to accept the dicta tion of someone else, or the selection of a different political party, the result will ever be, as now, heat, turmoil, dissension, profit less discussion, wasted energy, factional fight ing and futile results. Look at the breath and energy spent every day over Statement No. 1. Kfforts to force it, ignore our human nature and our strong partisan feelings. It can have but short life and like all extreme methods, unintentionally reflects against desired lawful success in direct election of United States Sen ators. Some believe It a matter of principle to force "the people's choice." But what of the constitutional choice of the people of (he United States who still have rights? They pay the Senators, who are National officers, and make laws for ail the states. The people of the whole country have atd. in the most solemn manner, that "tbe peoples choice" in Oregon cannot by law prevail, but that. If manifested. It mut be through free, untied and un trammeled legislator. Nowhere is con ferred on the people of Orf gon the direct power to elect United States Senators. The supreme law is that the Legislature shall elect Senators, and Its members be free to select as well as to elect them. Fach member, though tied and bound by pledge as' a candidate, must nrxt January, take upon himself an oath to maintain the Constitution of the United States or the su preme la- anything In our state law, or any previous oath, or any prior promise made to secure election, to the contrary notwithstand ing. The supreme law requires that neit Winter the legislators shall do their consti tutional duty, faithfully, by each, then, se lecting free and unfettered, the best man for Senator, and of course, irrespective of anyone else's choice. That is the law. We mean to be law-rt -specting people. If our voters now "bold lip'' ths candidate and force the d. HE facts J axe, your own ideas will find an echo in our store. EW goods for men and b o v s com ing in continually as our Resident Buyer in New York corrals every new fad; so our store is a correct mirror of metro politan fashions. 'ret LION ClothinQCo GuiKiihnPIp 166-168 Third St tnsnd that he will vote blindly for whomso ever a portion of the voters may hereafter name to him. will find hlmse!f when called, under his oath of office to act, forsworn to abjure, or set to one side, his own pensa of duty in selecting. He will be pledged to vote, not for his own constitutional selection, but for aome other one. whnm Identity even he cannot foreknow, and whose actual qualifl patlon may prove to he below his conscien tious Judgment-test on final vote. Hie consti tutional oath, when taken, will require blm to do his duty by himself in selecting, while his prior forced plrdge is to renounce that duty and let others seleot for him. Urgally speaking, a legislator's oath must nerrssarlly supersede Inconsistent promises, forced possibly by election duress. The propo sition of standing up members by demanding pledges, which vntpre ran do, and binding ihrm hand and foot by packing, a It were, the Iislature on the Senatnrshlp. 1 In the fsce of our National Constitution, unmind ful of and substantially shelves the un doubted law and system of the whole people. Talk nf the will of the people of Oregon. What of the will of the people of the United States? Have they no constitutional rlghta in an Ore.gon Senatorial selection ? Is this an emotional government by the people of Oregon, for the people of Oregon, or -ta It not still a practical governm-nt of the whole peo ple, by the whole people, and for the whole people We are respecters- of law. This is yet a Government of law the supreme law of the land at that a direct vote of our people, even; to the contrary. In the election of United States Senators, this Is yet a representative Government and not a pure democrac$-. I-et us not forget It. The tendency of forced attempts to asMt or avoid law. is to instill disregard and dlsra spect for law, and subversive of good cltlaen shlp. Popular election of Senators can be now only advisory, and while all our Legis lators ought to. snfl douhtless will, respect public spmlnient and "peoples choice" to all reasonable ex ton t, extreme and forced pledges demanded of candidates are not In keeping with law and governmental order. Nor Is there now excuse for It, as our people now have the dlrsct primary nomination Ihw, and the Australian ballot, and can, if they only will, select free from any hosslem, good, up right. Independent Legislators to represent Ul under the Federal Constitution. There to no wish, or occasion, for any return to past cor rupt elections. If the peopla cannot now select good men and upright Legislators to do sworn duty In the election of Senators, under the direct prl msry. the fault is In the people themselves. Under our present law. why not leave the matter to good representative men, selected by the people, and to our enlightened public sentiment In favor of popular election, a far as It Is practicable, which will Influence to all proper extent our legislators in their con stitutional duty when the proper time comes? Public sentlmrnt In other states ts followed along such practicable lines. In no other state do they try to force Republicans to vote for Democrats, or vice versa; and to force eojch construction of our Oregon primary law, purporting to be for the preservative of po litical parties and rights, la going too far. Pome claim to be influenced by evils which have attended two or three legislative elec tions. Some surely have been bad enough, but that is not relevant to this discussion. It must be borne In mind that bad results have always come from bad men elected to our Legislature, and not until there Is per fection in the people or greater perfection In the representatives chosen, will there be no Ills flown to as great, possibly, as those we seek to fly from. Able, conscien tious, experienced legislators are needed for many purposes other than election of Sena tors. "Statement No. 1" is not the "whole th Again, let Oregon Republicans reflect that Republicans generally have some potitlcal rights. Some declare that they do not in tend to vote for a Democratic Senator, yet demand that Republican legislators shall. Some Republican candidates make haste to so pledge themselves, but the readier they are the easier it will be for Republi can voters to follow suit, and vote for a Democratic Senator at tho polls. It's all grist. It seems, for the Democratic mill. A penator may In his time hold a balance of power politically, and, as ha been aptly said. What right has a Republican of Ore gon to trade off his birthright and deprive the other Republicans of bis country of a Republican Senator, in order to elect some minority party man who might get a majority or plurality state vote at a popu lar nominating election in June, for that Is all that it can be under present law? Are the political rights of Republicans generally for a Republican Senator to be jeopardized by pre-natal pledges forced on Oregon Re publican candidates in their natural desire for election? And have Republicans in Ore gon no rishts under the fair Intent and meaning of our primary law? This forced attempt to make legislators forswear themselves baa gone to seed In the proposed Initiative act. which we must all vote on, "Instructing" members of the llwlatnre to vote for and elect the can didate for United States Senator who re ceives the highest numoer ot vurrs at tno general election. The next thing will prob ably be some other Oregon act under our initiative undertaking to amend the National Constitution generally. Demands for the absolute taking of State ment No. 1 are not only outside and beyond present laws, but the addition of the proviso, "tf he he a Renubllcan." la so also. And the one "for Republican voters' choice" Is little better, for It may not even accord with the expressed voice of the people of a state; and statement io. a ib uupcr)r. "A pledge o both the Houses." Any forced nlAdrn exoent real public assurance In abil ity and integrity to perform one's duty to the whole people laiinruny uuuer eiuigni ened conscience. Is questionable. Brother Chamberlain says that enforce ment of SiHtement No. 1 Is "a death struggle," but whether for himself as a Democratic candidate In a Republican state, or the people of the United States, he does not specify. Statement No. 1 may be "poll tics" for Oregon Democrats just now. bu: the tide may turn. However, it will bs a very cold day vvhen a Democratic Legisla ture elects a Republican Senator by virtue of Statement No. i. Some assert that all opponents of State m.nt Vn 1 wsh to return to vicious meth ods of Senatorial election. This la not true. Nor is "return" the exact word to use, if It .e meant the process of electing by legis lators, for we have not yet legally left such a svstem. It is still the law. whether we like It or not. Departure from It ought to be confined to approved lines of intelli gent and reasonable public sentiment. Even In the election of Senator Mulkey and of Senator Bourne we find no precedent for forcing Statement No. 1. If Mr. Gear In had beaten Mr- Bourne before the people, as he came neaxtv doing, and our Republican members had voted for Mr. Gearln. under a Statement No. 1 pledge we would have had a precedent, but such we never had. Such "consummation devoutly to be wished." Is vet for hanpy days to come. It is asked: Why not "trust the people's choice?" This i attractive and has a de cree of merit; and la alt likelihood a Re- WILCOX "TnTor.d tn tht. rampntim ar. Iiwi-s hirh r of vll.l lntrr. to Portland dirt trt Ornon.

WEEDING OUT THE ASYLUM OREGON NOT TO BE DUMPING GROUND FOR INSANE. Finnish Sailor Taken Away to Re Deported " More From Other States Will Be Sent Away. SALEM. Or.. April 9. (Special.) Gov ernment officials came to Salem today to take Into custody Mlku luokkala, a native of Finland; who was recently com mitted to the asylum from Clatsop Coun ty. Luokkia was ft sailor, a foreigner, and insane, when he entered this coun try, and under the immigration laws could nnt legally be permitted to enter and remain. He was. however, put ashore from the ship on which he was serving and the local authorities sent him to the asylum. The Government officials will deport him. I.uokkHla is only one of many foreigners who have been brought to this state as sailors and who were insane at the time of their arrival. Shipmasters know not what else to do with sailors who go In sane during a voyage so they turn them over to local authorities. Care will be taken in future to see that foreigners who are insane at the time of their ar rival be not permilted to remain in this country. Oregon has also received a number of patients at the state insane asylum who properly belong in similar Institutions In other states. There have been clearly authenticated! cases of patients being dis charged from asylums in other states with Instructions to come to Oregon, and in one or two cases there has been evi dence that the patients were provided with transportation In order that they might reah this state. The patients who come to this state under such conditions are Incurables who are harmless, but who would be a constant public charge In any state In which they may reside. Joseph Election Quiet.

GREAT HANDBALL CONTEST Moore and Hoi brook Beat Jones and Dunne at Multnomah. By wlnnlnjr two out of three of the hardest-fought games of handball ever played In Portland, Moore and Holbrook last night succeeded In at taining the honors of champions of the Multnomah Club over Jones and Dunne. The scores were 21-14. 2J-22 and 21-17. and each game a fast and snappy exhibition. The victors, who won the champion ship during the Lewis and Clark Ex position, commenced well by gaining a slight lead over their opponents, but the latter rallied nicely and made a hnrd contest of the first game, even though the score shows a wide margin. In the second game It was a tooth-and-nail proposition Irom the jump. Each team repeatedly had the lead, and after some of the finest passing and serving; ever seen on the Multnomah court, Jones and Dunne managed to win out by the narrow margin of 22 to 20. The third and final game was equal ly as close until the end, when Hol brook; spurted and. assisted by excel lent support on the part of his part ner, made a run of the required length and scored the victory. The efforts put forth by the four players were of such strenuous nature that all of them were practically exhausted when taken to their dressing rooms. A large gal lery assembled in the IwtndbHll court to witness the contest and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed throughout the struggle. Many of the olrltltners of the t-lub were heard to remark that It was the greatest exhibition they had ever soon. rl tfaff'f-ftfcam--f ti ''e" ': JAMES COLE formerly AffMnnt 1. 8.
