DEPENDS ON "BIG FIVE" Favored Members Will Support "Uncle Joe" in Order to Retain Choice Appointment's Sher man Had Ambitions. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Nov. . If Joseph G. Cannon falls of re-election as Speaker of the House of Representatives, and some prominent member of the anti-Cannon faction Is chosen to succeed him. there will prob ably be a complete readjustment of the House organization, and a reallotment of committee chairmanships. On the other hand. If Cannon is defeated, but Is suc ceeded by some man Identified with his machine, the House will continue doing business in the old way. and "Uncle Joe" will, stand high In the councils of the new regime. Under the present , organisation the af fairs of the House have been run by the "Big Five:" the Speaker and Repre sentatives Payne, Dalzell. Tawney -and Sherman. If one of this number should ... 1 , .... Duaka. In 4 h M event Of Can- non's defeat.

Repetition of Ciar Rule. This "Big Five" has had little regard for the individual rights of members; It has had little regard for the wishes of a great majority of the House. With the co-operation of the committee on lea. It has mapped out tne legislative campaign of the House, and by sheer force, has nut through the programme over the protests of members entitled to be heard. With one of this hunch In tne Speaker's chair, the same tactics would be pursued In the next congress as in the present and past Congresses, and the Individual member would be as much a "two spot" as ever. But the men who are fighting Cannon are ahxfous to get one of their own number In the Speaker'a chair, so that the Big Five" can be wiped out. and a new governing body be organised. And If Representative Burton, of Ohio, or any other anti-Cannon man should be ehoBen Speaker, It would very soon become ap parent that Messrs. Cannon, Payne., Dal sell and Tawney would be deprived of the right to dictate. This power, to a limited extent, might be conferred upon others, but it would go to men of the opposing faction to the Insurgents. Cannon, as speaker, very naturally placed the best chairmanships In the House in the hands of his friends. If Cannon Is defeated by an Insurgent, Payne will no longer be chairman of the ways and means committee, Dalzell will no longer hold his membership on the committees on rules and ways and means; Tawney will be relieved of appropriations, and Alann will fall to go on the steering committee. Other Cannon supporters holding good chairmanships would find themselves dispossessed, their places being given to men opposed to tyrannical rule of the House of Representatives. The Cannon men, and the chairmen ap pointed by Cannon, are well aware of the situation, and for that reason they will be found actively campaigning for Cannon when Congress comes together next month. They will fight for Cannon not so much because of their love or admira tion for the Speaker, but because of their desire to save themselves to save the choice appointments which they received at the hands of Cannon, and which they cannot again receive If Cannon Is de throned. And this very organization, led by the "Big Five. or "Big Four" as I: became when Sherman resigned to run for Vice-President, will be one of the ma'n supports upon which Cannon will depend In his campaign for re-election to the Speakership. Sherman Wanted to Be Speaker. The mention of Sherman recalls the fact that Sherman, had he not resigns! from the House to accept the Vice-Presidency, would have been a very llke'y candidate for Speaker In case It becomes Impossible to re-elect Cannon. Sherman' was a candidate for Speaker when Hen derson was chosen; he was also & candi date when Cannon was first elected, and among the varied aspirants he was per haps the best qualified. Therefore, had he not accepted the Vice-Presidential nomination, he might today be very clos- to the Speakership of the House, and there is not the slightest doubt but what he would much prefer the Speakership to the Vies- Presidency. - But it is everlastingly too late for Sher man to become Speaker. The opportunity will never again be presented to liim. When he reflects upon "what might have been" It must depress him considerably. And he win have abundant time for re flection while presiding over the Senate, without "a voice, without a vote, without the slightest Influence over the delibera tions of that body. How much bigger he would be presiding over the other house, at the other end of the Capitol. WILL KEEP EYE ON CASTRO Dutch Government to Send Warship to Sea in Few Days.- WILLEMSTAD. Nov. 8.

Will Lower Tariffs About 17 Per Cent From Former Schedule. Through BUI of Lading. VICTORIA, B- C, Nov. 8. (Special.) The Nippon Yusen Kalsha has de cided to bearin the struggle with the Canadian Pacific Railroad for the pre mier position In the carrying trade of the North Pacific Since the ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commission. by whli;h ship companies advanced their rates, the lines connecting with United States railroads, and more particularly those under the United States flag, were placed at a disadvantage. The Can adian Pacific Railroad naturally took advantage of Its position and declined to advance its freight rates. .Wliea the conference at Seattle de cided to increase the rates, the pro posed Increases were cabled .to-Japan, where a meeting of Japanese shipping companies was called. Advices re ceived by the Royal Mail Steamship Empress of India were to the effect that the Nippon Tusen Kaisha with drew from this conference and has made a general reduction of about 17 per cent lower than the former freight rates. The Japanese steamship com pany proposes to bear the burden of the increased railway charges and will give a lower rate across the Pacific. A reduction of 25 cents per 100 pounds will be made on silk and other valuable freights. The Intention of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha Is to Issue through bills of lad ing at the present "rates on certain goods. Including steam and rail transit, and to' take upon its own shoulders the increase In the American rail rate. On other goods the Increased rail rate will be partly counterbalanced by re ductions In the steamer transport. For example, the rate' on tea is to be re duced by about 16 gold cents, on mat ting by 15 cents, on straw braid by 30 cents. The rate on porcelain exported from Nogaya will be reduced to 63 cents.

Orders Cars and Makes Plans for Heavy Traffic Overland Next Year. SE1ATTL.E, Wash., Nov. 8. (Special.) am a great believer in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition,'" stated Howard EllioM,, president of the Northern Pacific, In an interview today, "and the North ern Pacific will ao all in its power to make it succeed. We recently placed an order for 63 large passenger cars in anti cipation of a big passenger traffic west ward during the exposition and with a number jusi received, we will , have more than 100 additional passenger coaches next Summer. Though we have not yet pre pared new schedules, we expect to put on both additional local and overland trains In the Spring. Extra trains will be run between Seattle and Portland and be tween Seattle and Spokane and from all -tolnts in the interior. . "I have no doubt that the fair will be a great success. The Pacific Northwest Is attracting more and more attention In the East each year and such an ex position will be the means of bringing thousands of investors and homeseekers to the West. The recent interpretation of the Interstate Commerce Commission." continued Hr. Elliott, "regarding Oriental shipments has had a most unfortunate effect upon trade with the Orient. It will be the means of routing the greater portion of freight designed for the Orient via Gulf ports, the Atlantic Coast and the Suez canal. We railroad men much re gret that such a ruling was necessary, but do not blame the Commission for the members had their duty laid out before them and could not but obey the law."
