STAID CITIZENS CAVORT
ioal of Ttebuilt City's Ambition
Seems Real When Fortunes . Roll
In to Make 191-5 Knte'rtain
mcnt Brilliant Success.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S. Amid
scenes of wildest enthusiasm on the floor
of the Merchants' Exchange more than
$4,000,000 was subscribed today by the citi
zens of San Franoiwo to the stock of the
Panama-Pacific International Exposition,
which is planned to be held here at the
opening of the Panama canal in 1I16.
As the figures rolled up and the goal of
the rebuilt city's new ambition became
more real, the great crowd on the floor
'of the exchange cheered itself hoarse and
business men threw their arms about each
other and danced in jrlee.
After three hours of bidding it. was an
nounced that the total amount subscribed
was J4.0S3.000. It is expected by next Mon
day that $r,000.000 will have been sub
scribed and with this neat little testi
monial, of the feelingH of the people of
Ban Francisco to back them up. Gov
ernor J. X. Gillett and his committee
will leave for Washington on that day
officially to inform Congress that San
3-Yaneisoo is in a position to finance an
International exposition.
Japanese anil Chinese Subscribe.
Ono of the surprises of the afternoon
was the interest shown in the exposition
by the Japanese and Chinese. A roar of
approval .went up when the auctioneer
announced that the Japanese residents
liad contributed $50,000 toward the stock.
The Japanese form less than 1 per cent
of the population of the city. The roar
became almost a riot when the Chinese
residents duplicated the Japanese figures.
The Italian residents subscribed $30,000.
When the verbal bidding . for the
etock ceased, the total was $3,790,000,
and none of the subscriptions had been
lor less than blocks of $250. Sub
scriptions for smaller amounts than
these were taken at desks arranged for
that purpose.
Bourn Satrts Bidding.
The bidding was "started at $26,000 by
tV. B. Bourn, president of the Spring
Valley Water Company, and a number
Df individuals and firms followed his
lead with the same sum, until the
Brotherhood of the Royal Arch startled
the assembled bidders by asking for a
block of $250,000. The Royal' Arch was
(quickly followed by the Hotel Men's
Association, which bought an equal
amount. The Wholesale Producers As
sociation followed with a bid for $100,
000, and then various commercial or
ganizations placed bids, ranging from
125.000 to $75,000.
Bidders Come Early.
Long before. 3 o'clock, the hour set
Tor the opening- of the sale of the stock,
the big bidders clamored for an oppor
tunity to register, their bids, but Presi
dent C C. Moore, of the Exposition,
waited until 3:15 before he gave the
word to start the sale. When Mr.
Bourn asked for $25,000 worth of the
ptock, wild cheering broke forth.
Stands were raised on all sides, and a
idozen $25,000 bids followed.
When the Royal Arch and Hotelmen's
bids were announced, a scene never wit
nessed in the wildest bull rushes on the
floor of the Merchants Exchange took
place. Staid business men seized each
other and danced about the floor while
the cheers were flung from wall to wall,
lor several minutes.
Mayor McCarthy Arrives.
At this point, Mayor McCarthy ar
rived and was escorted to a seat on the
platform with the finance committee.
When he announced that the State
Buildings Trade Council, of which he Is
president, had subscribed for $5000, he
was cheered heartily.
There were 41) individuals and busi
ness firms that subscribed to the $25,
000 blocks of stock and when no more
responded to the auctioneer's offer at
this price, the amount was reduced by
thousands until $15,000 was reached, at
which figure a number of bids were reg
istered. From this price, the bids were
reduced by steps of $5Q0 and at $12,500
a large number of individual bids were
registered.
The list of $5000 bidders seemed inter
minable and an equally large number re
funded when the price was reduced to
$1000. The $500 and $250 bids came so
fast that they got ahead of the auction
eer and almost clogged the two adding
machines which were struggling with the
totals.

AMENDMENT SAVED
BY CLOSE
Insurgents Join With Demo
' crats in Fight on House ;
Railroad Bill.
MANY OF MINORITY AWAY
Responsibility for Defending Rate
Decisions Lert With Attorney
General Heylmrii Is Cause
of Delay in Senate.
WASHIXGTOX. April 2S. The regular
Republicans ran nip and tuck with the
insurgent Republicans and the ' Demo
crats., in sustaining their organization
when the voting on amendments to the
railroad bill began in the House today.
Only by a tie vote of 121 to 121 did the
regulars prevent the striking from their
bill o'f the provision which placed on the
Attorney-General the responsibility for
the defense of suits brought to set aside
decisions of the Interstate Commerce
Commission instead of allowing that duty
to be performed by the commission itself,
as under the present law.
The motion to strike out this committee
provision had been made by Hubbard of
Iowa, one of the staunch insurgents, and
13 other Insurgents voted to sustain his
amendment.
Many Democrats Absent.
Of 173 Democrats only 107 voted. The
others were absent, and repeated efforts
on the part of the Democratic whip were
fruitless to bring any of them into the
chamber.
Disgusted with the absenteeism in his
party, Adamson of Georgia, representing
the minority in leading the opposition to
the bill, arose and. viewing the diminished
Democratic minority, sarcastically ex
pressed the hope that the "House office
building would be closed during' the bal
ance of this session of Congress."
"Xot today and probably not tomor
row," replied Cummins, when, at the
beginning of today's session of the
Senate he was asked when a vote on
the traffic agreement provision of the
railroad bill would be reached. "Pos
sibly the end may be reached late to
morrow,"" he added, "but it Is not cer
tain." Heyburn Causes Delay.
He attributed the delay to the
speech on the provision made by Hey
burn on Tuesday. In that speech Hey
burn took the position that the Craw-ford-Elkins
amendment does not have
the effect of repealing the Sherman
anti-trust law Insofar as it applies to
the railroads.
Bristow resumed his speech as soon
as the bill was taken up today. He en
tered upon a discussion of the rates
on sugar, with the evident intention
of demonstrating that by charging
more for short than for long hauls
the railroads were discriminating un
fairly against many communities.
In explanation of the cause for the
low transcontinental rates, Elkins in
stanced the .competition of the Ca
nadian roads, mentioning one case in
which one of those roads had. outbid
all the American roads in carrying a
consignment of freight from Akron,
O., tofthe Pacific Coast.
TAFT LAND BILL TO PASS
Withdrawals Regulated and Set

WASHIXGTOX. April 28. The com
mittee on public lands of the House, by
a majority vote of two, has reported
out the Pickett bill authorizing the
President of the United States to make
withdrawals of public lands in certain
cases. This bill had the sanction and
approval of the President and the Sec
retary of the Interior, and it is reason
ably certain it will be adopted by the
House and Senate.
The bill as agreed upon, authorizes
the President to make withdrawals for
examination and classification to deter
mine the character and value of lands
withdrawn for such purposes, and pro
vides that when the lands are classi
fied and valued they shall be restored
to appropriate entry under the laws
applicable to such lands.

WELCOME NEWS
, FOR SUFFERERS
FROM RHEUMATISM
The Disease Is Permanently Cured
by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
and Complete Information
Js Free for the Asking.
Every one who suffers from rheuma
tism will recognize the description of a
genuine case at sight. '
In the following brief statement ara
vividly described the symptoms which
every patient will recognize and the means
by which a cure was effected in this casa
is described with equal fidelity.
If you are suffering from any form o
rheumatism wit h loss of flesh and strength,
and thinning of the blood, the remedy
that was so effective here deserves a
thorough trial.
Mr. George C. Long, a farmer, whose
address is Box 43, R. F. D. Xo. 1, Oak
land, Ore., says:
"When I was quite young, I was a
sufferer from rheumatism for nearly two
Tears. The pains were in my neck and
back and were bo intense that my neck
was drawn back. My mother was afraid
that I would be a cripple for life. I be
came pale, weak, and thin. "
" "I was treated by, doctors for over a
year and tried numerous remedies but
received no benefit. Then my mother de
cided to have me try Ir. Williams' I'ink
Pills. The first few boxes helped me and
I began to gain in flesh and strength. A
thorough trial of the pills entirely cured
me and I have never had the slightest
return of the disease."
That the ordinary medical treatments
of rheumatism are far from satisfactory
is known by every one who has ever suf
fered from the disease. To every sufferer
therefore, the fact that Dr. Williams
I'ink Pills cure rheumatism, as hundreds
of cases like Mr. Long's proves, will be
welcome news. Some of these cures are
given in our booklet, "Diseases of the
Blood," which will be sent free upon
postal card request.
Dr. AVilliams' Pink Pills are also
highly recommended for chlorosis or
green sickne5S, general debility, anaemia,
stomach trouble, and the after-effects of
the grip and fevers.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on
receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six
boxes for 2.50, by the Dr. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
Always insist upon getting the genuine
pills which are sold only in packages
bearing the full trade-mark, "Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale PeopLa."

OWX CITY'S 300,000 BOAST IS
CALLED ABSURD.
Sf. Robert Guggenheim Wagers Hat
That Sound Metropolis Docs
Xot Total 2125,000.
Wagering a $5 hat in support- of his
contention, M. Robert GCggenheim, scion
of the famous millionaire family of the
same name, said last night that Seattle's
census would not show a population of
oyer 220,000 people. Mr. Guggenheim ar
rived here from Seattle, his home, yes
terday morning, intending to remain in
Portland for several days, but was called
back to the Sound city on business last
night.
"The idea of 300,000 people in Seattle is
absurd," said Guggenheim last night.
"The census man there told me the other
day that the count would run between
213,000 and 220,000, and I'm pretty sure
that lie got it right."
Another Seattleite, overhearing the
statement of Mr. Guggenheim, rose in
arms in defense of his home city.

"I'll bet you a $5 hat that 'she' runs

"Done," earner from Guggenheim like

"The people are not in Seattle," con
tinued the young millionaire. "Portland
not only has more people than Seattle, hut
has more life in a minute than the lat

town today than is Seattle. I say this
notwithstanding the fact that I have been
boosing for he 3)0.000-mark right along
in Seattle."
Robert Guggenheim came to Portland
to watch his prize bulldogs win ribbons
at the exhibition of Uie Portland Kennel
Club. He say3 that the local show of
canines may be taken as an e"idenc of
Portland's progressiveness and in h's
opinion is the best one ever held on the

He was greatly surprised at the won
