Such is the announcement of A. B. Man ley, chairman of the Republican city cen tral committee.

J. T. Ellis Will Run for Council. Attorney Joseph T. Ellis.- Republican, yesterday announced his candidacy for the office of Councilman- from the Tenth Ward, and will file his petition this morning. Mr. Ellis pledges himself to work for suitable bridges, streets and public improvements, at the same time to keep the taxes at as low figure as possible. He further declares himself in favor of establishing mills, shops, fac tories and markets for labor and pro duce, and promises that he will always advocate harmony, good government and substantial justice to all. Mr. Ellis was born In Pennsylvania 33 years ago and has lived in Oregon for the past 20 years. He was, prior to entering the legal pro fession five years ago. in railroad service. FOR 15 YEARS Ancient Patrol-Wagon Steeds May Be Turned Out to Pasture. COMMERCIAL BODIES ACT Best Men Won't Run. "The best men would not go out after the offices." continued Mr. Manley, "but would only agree to let their names go neiore tne people when they saw a real wrnsnn tor tneir services. However, a riody of 4o representative Republicans rhosen from ministers, doctors, lawvers. business men, tradesmen and the entire representative citizenship of Portland, can be selected by the committee on Wednes day night. This body will then wait on some representative man for Mayor and Attention of the Humane Society has been called to the condition of the patrol Horses used by the Police Department between the hours of. midnight and 8 o'clock In the morning. It Is alleged that the use of the old team In this work constitutes cruelty to animals in an aggravated form. The two horses are' rearing the 20-ear mark and have been hauling the city jag box around for 15 years past. No rest have they had in this time and the result is that both animals are miserably "stove up." It is said that stiff joints prevent them from getting Into a limber gait until a block or two of the first part of run has been covered. Notwithstand ing this fact they have to respond to hurry calls every night, often covering many blocks at a run and never easing up from a brisk trot no matter wliat the distance may be. An effort is to be made to have the old team retired so that they can enjoy a well earned rest In some fertile pasture during their old age. They will be re placed by a young team. The question horses has already been taken Humane Officer Sharahan.' up by Increase your ad, page 13. income. Read Gregory's others who had been suggested for the. ?f compelling the city to retire the old minor orrices and ask these men to allow their names to be used at the May pri maries, ir they give their permission these names could be voted on. and in no other way could the best representative element of the Republican party secure Tlnally Its best men as standard-bearers. This course is one plainly indicated by the primary law itself, and it will tend to decrease the splitting up of the party into a number -r hostile camps, and will insure success the June election. There is no Interference and no inten tion or Interference with the prlmarv l.wr. and no toleration of any scheme to have a single man of the 4fK men selected ny the city central committee pledged to or working In favor of or atalnst any man for either of the offices who might be considered. 'Tt Is the duty of all of the various pertlea to get out their heat men for the offices. The plan proposed, means first to get a body of 400 men to go out and seek candidates. Tf these 400 men are not thoroughly representative citizens, as well as Republicans, then the plan fails right there. Any attempt to play politics will simply kill the plan. "When the list of men elected by the Republican central committee to look for candidates ta published the morning after tne committee meets the people will jinow if we hare redeemed our promises. ny that list the Republican party of Portland must stand or fall. To give it tne necessary strength In Its attest, it must be of such well-known and Invincible Integrity that the mere mention of the names shall satisfy the most captious and mistrustful of its absolute sincerity ana irusiwortmness. Calls for Party Support. "Tt may he said that the Republican party is essaying a difficult and a deli cate task. That may be admitted, but it Is a task which is capable of beina- per. formed. No true believer In the principles of Republicanism will hesitate to do his full duty In this matter, according to my belief. There must not be a shadow of self-seeking, but the aim must be to get men to run whose names will not only be an assurance of the highest ldals ana capabilities, but names which will appeal to voters of all parties who wish to see a sreater and a more progressive Port land. "Some splendid men in Portland who might be urged to run for Mayor cannot afford the time away from their business. e ought to have a man whose career In Portland as a business man will com mand universal respect, and whose Ideals will insure the support of the cltisens, ir respective of .party. There are a num ber of such men in the Republican partv. but their very standing in the community will not allow them to go out and wrangle for a nomination. Such men, if called upon by a body of 400 representative men of their party, men entirely disinterested, and urged to become candidates, cannot fall to be Impressed with the quality and quantity of support proffered them. "In the last analysis this plan means a united, not a divided. Republican party; the best possible candidates. Irre spective of politics; a Republican victory In June and a city which will go forward as never before in its long and glorious history. And the success or failure of the plan depends upon the personnel of the 400 men to be chosen Wednesday night next. In the event of their being first-class men. the victory for the Re publican party Is already won. If the city central committee falls to grasp its opportunity, the shoe is on the other foot." Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and Spo kane to Join Hands in Greeting. San Francisco Refuses to Participate. In spite of the fact that the San Fran cisco Chamber of Commerce declined to participate in the proposed entertainment of the commercial representatives of Japan, the Chambers of Commerce of four Northwestern cities have united In a plan to Invite these Japanese commer cial men to visit this country some time during the present year. This matter was decided upon at a meeting yesterday afternoon of representatives of the Cham bers of ' Commerce 'of Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and Portland. Some time ago these bodies, together with the San Fran cisco Chamber, constituting the Associ ated Chambers' of Commerce of the Pa cific Coast, extended an invitation to the business men of Japan to visit this coun try during this year, hut owing to the anti-Japanese agitation the San Francisco organization - has since withdrawn from tne invitation. This action made it necessary for the Chambers of Commerce of the Northwest cities to come to some agreement regarding the matter. Fifty or Sixty Coming.

It was proposed to Invite the Chambers-of Commerce of Japan to send 15 representatives from among their leading commercial and financial men.

It is proposed that thov reach here before the close of the Seattle Fair, in order that they may be given every opportunity to become acquainted with the business men of the United states and their methods. This It Is be lieved will result In creating a better reeling between the two countries. Those attending yesterday's meeting were: C Y. Tandell. secretary of the Seattle Cham ber of Commerce; J. D. Loman and D. F. Blaine, of Seattle; A. A. Hilton, of Ta coma: F. E. Goodall. president of the Spokane Chamber, and E. X). Coman, president of the Exchange National Bank, Spokane.

What Consul Numano Says. Japanese Consul Numano expressed his gratification at the action of yesterday's meeting In proposing to invite Japanese merchants to visit this country. He ex pressed the belief that it would have the effect of increasing the volume of trade between the two countries and maintain the friendly relations already existing. 'Tho people of Japan." said Mr. Nu mano,' "have been very much impressed always with the friendly feeling which exists toward them In the Northwest. The visiting merchants will have a most favorable opportunity to know definitely about commercial conditions in this coun try.

Today will mark the 86th birthday of Portland's most distinguished citizen. I might, with all truthfulness, say the most distinguished man on the Pacific Coast, for in point of years, honors and achievements. Judge George H. Williams haa no one to dispute his title to genuine greatness. He 19 the oldest surviving: Cabinet minister. having, as is well known, been Attorney-General under Grant, the last of his Cabinet, and no man now lives who sat In a President's council before him. Before that he was United States Senator from Oregon and a close adviser of Lincoln in the mo mentous days of the Civil "War. having been a member of the Senatorial com mittee to accompany the remains of the martyr to his last resting place. But much farther back, along the pro cession of the years, George H. Williams fully. He was one of the organizers of Iowa territory and in 1S47 was elected to the state bench. In the same year he formed the friendship of Abraham Lin coln, which continued in a confidential relation until the assassination . of the Great Emancipator in 1S65. He was also a close friend and admirer of Stephen A. Douglas and, being a Democrat in those days, was closely- associated with the Little Giant. In 1852 Judge Williams was a Pierce Presidential elector for Iowa, and was se lected, to carry the vote of the state to Washington. Shortly afterward he was appointed Chief Justice of Oregon Terri tory without his solicitation, and in 1853 he came to the Oregon country, with was a man of note in the affairs of the country he has served so long and faith which he is so closely associated that he seems a landmark. His subsequent career as Senator. Cabinet minister, member of the Alabama Claims Commission, Mayor of Portland and always pre-eminent pri vate citizen, and leader, of .the. local bar. is a matter of common knowledge. At 86 Judge Williams . retains, all his virile mental faculties, following the course of his. large, legal .practice - every day, frequently appearing in. co.urt and continually in demand -as a public -speaker. His physical powers are also won derfully well preserved and he impresses his friends as Toeing no less active and energetic than he was a -score of years ago. t ... Tonight Judge Williams will . entertain a birthday dinner party at the Commer cial Club, to which some 60 guests have been invited, and the "Grand Old Man" is expected to be at his best- He is in receipt of numerous letters and telegrams of congratulation from all parts of the country and is today, on his -86th birth day, the most interesting, and one of the most important figures in the - city.
