SMALL CHANCE WITH TAFT Keappolntment Xot Likely, for Taft Turns Down Opponents of His Nomination Hitchcock Has Something to Say. OREGONIAN. NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. -March 3. It is now conceded that John C. Young cannot be confirmed as postmaster at Portland, for Sena , tor Fulton is 'constantly, in the Senate, ready to object if Bourne attempts to call up the nomination. At an executive session this evening Bourne made no effort to get action and it is not likely he will try again. This being the situation, there Is spe culation whether Mr. Young will be re nominated by President Taft. When Bourne was urging the postofflce com mittee to report Mr. Young's name, he Faid he had serious doubts whether Taft would renominate Mr. Young and for that reason he was doubly anxious for action this session. He was aware that Mr. Young's pending nomination would expire, at noon tomorrow. Announcement was made by Mr. Taft last night that soon after March 4 he intended removing from office Collector of Customs Fowler of New York, be cause Mr. Fowler in the late campaign and prior to the Chicago convention had been prominent in opposing- him. Mr. Fowler and Mr. Young are on exactly the same footing and Mr. Taft has had his attention called to Mr. Young's fam ous letter In The Oregoniaji: Therefore it Is considered probable that Mr. Taft will not be inclined to regard Mr. Young favorably. It Is also believed that Postmaster General Hitchcock will recommend against Mr. Young's appointment and Mr. Taft intends to defer largely to Mr. Hitchcock's recommendations in filling Presidential postofflces. All things con sidered, Air. Young's prospects are any thing but bright. POIXDKXTER STITTj VEXJTRATi New Congressman Xot Committed to Join House Insurgents. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.

Compliments Admiral I'pon Ht Ca reer During Administration. Navy Department Concurs. WASHINGTON. March 3. "Xot a ship has had a scratch," says President Roosevelt in approving Admiral Sperry's command of the Atlantic fleet on its cruise. Secretary Newberry adds that the trip reflected on the entire Navy and Admiral Sperry, in acknowledgment pays tribute to his officers and men. The correspondence was made public today. President Roosevelt's letter to Admiral Sperry follows: "I desire to express my sincerest and hearty approval of the manner in which you have exercised the command of the Atlantic fleet. You have brought it from our home coast on the Pacific westward around the world to our home coast on the Atlantic. Not a ship has had a scratch. The whole fleet is more ef fective than when it started. You have kept the ships separately and together, so well exercised that they have increased their efficiency In gunnery and in tech nical maneuvering. "Moreover, you have shown real ability of an unusual kind in the way in which. In Australia and Japan, you have repre sented this Nation In what was in effect, on one side, a great diplomatic mission. "In addition. I want heartily to com mend what you did on the National Coast Defense Board In 1905, where the work was of the very greatest importance "I also congratulate you upon the dis tinguished part you played, especially in connection with the work done in the discussion of the maritime law In the second Peace Congress at The Hague In "In short, your career during my Ad ministration has been such as to reflect honor upon the entire naval service " In transmitting the letter, Secretary Newberry said the Navy Department wished to add thereto its unqualified ap proval of the manner in which the Ad miral had administered the affairs of the fleet.

ROOSEVELT UNDER DEBATE DoIHver and Beverldge Champion illm and Bailey Gives Ills Eulo gists Hard Dig President's Salary $75,000. WASHINGTON. March 3.-"-The Demo cratic filibuster against the penal code bill in the Senate .was ended today by an agreement eliminating the objectionable features authorizing the use of troops at election places and the measure was passed without actually changing the law now on the statute books. The. Bailey resolution declaring the right of the Senate to demand papers and Information from heads of departments was referred to the committee on the judiciary after an animated debate, dur ing which Dolliver and Beverldge made a vigorous defense of the President. The conference report of the legisla tive, executive and judicial appropriation bill was agreed to. The conferees elim inated all salary increases in dispute, ex cept that of the salary of the President, which was fixed at J75.0O0, with 325,000 additional for traveling expenses. Roosevelt Finds Defenders. Declaring that the adoption of the Bai ley resolution would be construed as a rebuke to the President, Doliiver said he hoped that never again would the floors of Congress be used as arenas for dis paragement of the motives of the chief executive. Beverldge eulogized President Roosevelt at length. He likened Mr. Roosevelt to Washington. Jackson and Lincoln and declared that they had been vilified as had Mr. Roosevelt and said that their traducers had been forgotten. He closed with the statement that Mr. Roosevelt had wrought mightily and for the per manent welfare of all the people, regard less of creed or color. Bailey replied in one sentence: "While," he said, "it is true that the world has forgotten the names of tho viliflers of Washington and Jackson, it is also true that it has forgotten some of those who delivered fulsome eulogies on them." Aldrieh Asks for Time. Aldrlch said he had no doubt about the rights of the Senate, but he believed It was desirable that an unequivocal deci sion be made in regard to the matter. However, he regarded matters between the Senate and executive as so important that any decision should be made with deliberation. He assured Bailey that an early report would be made on the reso lution, and Clarke of Wyoming, chair man of the committee on judiciary, as sured him that the committee would do its full dcty in tl.e premises.
