""Bill" Sunday beggars description. As
a revivalist lie does things to the Kng
liah language which no man ever dared
before. A dictionary In a storm, a the
saurus struck by lightning, and a, head
on collision between the two could never
produce such verbal fireworks as did
Sunday's sermon, exhortation, address,
lecture, harangue or war-dance at the
White Temple last night
Adjective piled on adjective, simile
heaped on simile, synonym laid over syn
onym, pathos, bathos, vituperation, in

other and sundry oral gymnastics occu
pied the platform, to the amusement,
horror. Interest, disgust, pleasure and
general astonishment of an audience
that banked the edifice to the doors and
out on the sidewalks and around the
corner.
Sunday Absolutely Unique.
There was never anything like it in
Portland before. There will never be
anything like again, possibly. There was
a "once-ness" about It, to coin a word,
indescribably unique. "Like Adam's rec
ollection of his fall."
With a clatter and crash of resound
ing vocabulary the famous exhorter
charged the cohorts of the Devil until
the welkin rang; also most of the door
bells In the neighborhood. He was a
veritable "wild-cat" engine of vitupera
tive epithet, tearing down the spiritual
grade at a thousand miles an hour, and
emitting sparks, smoke and general con
fusion at every revolution of the oratori
cal drive-wheels in his system.
Whole Band In One.
If the Dcmosthenean definition of ora
tory, viz., "energy." Is correct, then Sun
day has It bigger than an "Injun." Such
mortal energy was never seen before in
a Portland pulpit. It had the roll of the
drum, the peal of the bugle, the shrilling
of the fife, tha shouts of the embattled,
and the din of conflict in it.
By closing jour eyes you could hear
the crackle of musketry, the swish of
"minle" bullets, the shriek of shell, the
cries of the wounded, the roar of can
non and brass bands playing in the dis
tance. "Lord, is it I?" cried the preacher.
"Ixard. Is it I?" It was a question he
often asked himself during the sermon.
It was the text, supposedly, but it had
about as much to do with the sermon as
a rabbit. He drifted from a bitter de
nunciation of society women to a story
of his boyhood, and switched from the
recital of a humming-bird over a flower
bed to a roast of theater-goers and card
players. funiiay did not preach his celebrated
sermon on "Booze," but he unllmbered
the shot and shell of his verbal batteries
against the rum-shop occasionally during
the address.
Keeps Busy Every Minute.
He was all over tha stage at once. He
waa praying and pleading and denounc
ing and threatening and hammering away
ft rat at one evil and then at another,
until the perspiration rolled from his
forehead and made him mop his
dampened brow.
His audience glowed and shivered and
laughed and gasped at bis untamed and

San Francisco Clubfollc Summoned
to Testify as Result of Raid
In Chinatown.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 8l Convinced
that "for ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain," the peculiarities of Bret
Harte's immortal. "Heathen Chinee" are
as nothing compared to the wiles of Ah
Sam, a local Chinese, 300 representatives
of San Francisco's clubdom, both men
and women, thronged Judge Deasy's de
partment of the Police Court today in
answer to subpenas served at the re
quest of the aforesaid Mongolian. Lead
ers from every exclusive club were pres
ent. Ah Sam is a clubman himself. He
'directs as president, tlie affairs of the
Asiatic Club, in the Chinese quarter.
Some nights ago the police raided the
Asiatic Club and took Ah Sam to Jail
on a charge of gambling. He contends
that his treaty rights have been in
fringed; that f bridge, checkers, domlnos
or any other games are played in clubs
frequented by white men and women it
is fitting that he and hjs friends should
be allowed to play poker.
To support this contention Ah Sam
caused to be issued an edict summoning
officers and members of the California,
Bohemian, Sbrosls, Pacific Union, Olym
pic, Union League and a dozen other
clubs to come into court and tell of the
amusements and pastimes most popular
in their respective organizations; and he
hopes to prove that games of chance
are played In the various clubs.
Judge Deasy relieved the tension by
ordering the witnesses to return to their
homes and directing that each club men
tioned should send a single representa
tive, -who Is an expert on gambling,"
to court at the time of the hearing of
Ah Sam's case.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9.-In a tele
graphic communication addressed to
President Roosevelt, and sent today by
the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent As
sociation, better known as the Chinese
Six Companies, the attention of the Pres
ident Is called to certain instances where
in 1t is affirmed the executive depart
ment sought for the Japanese residents
of California many rights and privileges
that the Chinese have long been denied.
Its text In part follows:
"Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President of
the United States, Washington, D. C:
Praise for Jap Action.
"In view of the commendable and Just
efforts recently made by you on behalf
of the Japanese, in regard to certain laws
lately proposed and at the present time
partially adopted by , the Legislature of
California now convened at Sacramento,
we, the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent
Association, representing the whole of
the Chinese people of the United States,
feel Justified in respectfully calling your
attention to certain conditions pertaining
to the Chinese, both citizens and aliens.
In this country, which are In direct and
flagrant conflict with the sentiment ex
pressed by you both lately and hereto
fore, relative to the Japanese.
"We also feel it our duty toward those
whom we represent respectfully to pro

of the most vital Interest to the Chinese
residents of the United States, and an
swers to which we respectfully but earn

all due regard to the dignity of the exec

unqualifiedly expressed your views in

Then Priests and Legislators Plunge
Into Fray and Audience
Yells.
DUBLIN, Feb. 9. The national con
vention of the United Irish League,
which was opened today under the
presidency of John Redmond, was the
scene of an outbreak that resembled
the proverbial "Donnybrook Fair."
William O'Brien spoke in opposition to
the land bill of the Chief Secretary
for Ireland, and Mr. Redmond favored
the measure.
During ' the controversy Eugene
Crean, member of Parliament from
Cork, rushed to the platform, appar
ently with the intention of attacking
Mr. Redmond. He was suppressed and
hustled away, however. Then for a
few moments the platform became a
seething- mass of angry disputants.
Priests and legislators pushed Into
the fray and tugged at one another's
collars, while the rest of the audience
yelled, cheered and shouted encourage
ment to the disputants. Ten minutes or
more elapsed before Mr. Redmond was
able to quell the pandemonium.
Resolutions offered by the followers
of Mr. Redmond In favor of home rule
and Secretary Blrrell's land bill, and
expressing confidence in Mr. Redmond's
leadership, were carried by overwhelm
ing majorities.

F0RAKER FEELS REGRET
Sorry He Was Won Over From Nic
aragna Route Teller Says En
gineers Don't Know What They
Have Undertaken to Do.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 The Senate
discussed today the type of canal that
should bo constructed at Panama.
Kittredge, chairman of the committee
on Inter-oceanic canals, precipitated
the debate by presenting: an adverse
report on the Hopkins bill, authoriz
ing the Secretary of the Treasury to
issue bonds to the extent of $300
000.000 for the construction of the
canal. Reading a statement of the
expenditures of the canal to date, he
declared that the completion of the
lock canal would cost $400,000,000 and
insisted that a great mistake had been
made in not adhering to the plan for
the building of a sea-level waterway.
which, he said, would be cheaper than
the lock canal.
Foraker and Teller both Joined Kit
tredge in declaring that a sea-level
canal should be constructed and Kit
tredge said it was not too late to
abandon the lock project
Cost Far Above Estimate.
Kittredge said the canal committee
disapproved of the proposed issue of
bonds and he read a statement show
ing that expenditures on account of
the canal to date have been $177,964,
468. He said that, while he engineers
on the canal zone had originally
placed the cost of a lock canal at
$139,000,000, they had now Increased
their estimates to $400,000,000, whereas
it had been estimated that a sea-level
canal could have been built for $247,
000,000. Kittredge said the lock canal
had not progressed so far that it
would not now be possible to adopt
the sea-level type.
Teller thought a sea-level canal
could be constructed more cheaply
than a lock canal and would be far
less dangerous in Its construction.
Kittredge said a minority of the con
sulting engineers had pledged their
professional reputations that the cost
of the lock type of canal, exclusive of
sanitation and expenses of zone gov
eminent, would not exceed $139,000,
000. Kittredge said he believed the
experience of the American engineers

PISTOL DUEL ON STREET
Crazed Man, Posing as Detective,
Tries to Kill Police Officers.
Shortly after 1 o'clock this morning a
man believed to be insane carried on a
running pistol duel with Sergeants
Kienlen and Keller through several

Kienlen and Keller hurried around, to be
met at the door by the man, who snapped
his pistol several times in Keller's face.

man- started to run, firing repeatedly be
hind him.
Kienlen and Keller joined in the shoot
ing, and were later aasisted by Patrol
men Epps and Madden. In all about
three dozen shots were flred. but as the
men were running, none of the bullets
took effect. The firing created a panic
along Couch, Fourth, Burnslde and Sec
ond streets, on which the men ran.

an accomplice of the man, after a des
perate chase in the course of which the
