ELECTIONS INSPIRE REPUBLICAN HOPES Only Disconcerting Feature Is Increased Majority to Be l t Overcome in Senate. 32 TERMS EXPIRE IN 1917 Of 17 Democratic Expirations Two Tears Hence Only Four Are Con ' eidered Safe and Vive Are at Outs With Administration. I OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 16. From a Republican standpoint, the only unsatisfactory re sult of the recent election was the in crease of the Democratic majority in the United States Senate. At no time during the late campaign did the Re publicans entertain even a remote hope of being able to get control of the next Benate, for most of the Democratic Sen ators seeking re-election hailed from the. South and were sure of being re turned. But the Republicans did ex pect to be able to hold their own in the Senate, so that in 1916, by defeating six Democratic Senators, they would get control of the upper branch of Con press. To capture the next Senate, the Republicans, two years hence, must re elect their own Senators, and defeat Bine of the opposition. The terms of 32 Senators will expire March 3. 1917. Of those .whose terms then expire, 17 are Democrats. 14 are j jtepu oilcans ana one, r-oinaexier, or Washington, Progressive. Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, while styling him self a Republican, is really as much a Progressive as Poindexter. Clapp is among those to be up for re-election in 1916. Seats Doubtful in 1917. Two years hence, only four of the 17 Democrats will be absolutely sure of re-election. On the basis of the recent election returns, the 14 Republicans would seem to be reasonably sure of re-election; some of the Democrats are from states demonstrated to be uncom fortably close, viewed from -the Demo cratic standpoint, and in other states the fight gives promise of being inter esting from all angles. Senators Bryan, of Florida; Culber son, of Texas, Swanson, of Virginia, and Williams, of Mississippi, will be re elected, or will be succeeded by other Democrats. The Democratic Senators who will face hard contests in the next election are: ABhurst, Arizona; Chilton, West Virginia; Hitchcock, Nebraska; Johnson, Maine; Kern, Indiana; Lea. Tennessee; Lee, Maryland: Martine, New Jersey; Myers, Montana; O'Oorman, New York; IMttman, Nevada; Pomerene, Ohio; Reed, Missouri. On this list are five Senators who are decidedly at odds with the Adminis tration, Insurgents, so to speak. Sena tors Hitchcock, Martine, O'Gorman, Pomerene aiyl Reed have differed rad ically with the President many times during the past two years. Administration Against Three. Senator O'Gorman and Senator Pom erene probably will have the Adminis tration support when they come up for renomlnation, notwithstanding past differences, but the Influence of the Administration will be against Sena tors Reed, Hitchcock and Martine, the latter from the President's own state. These three Senators refused flatly to wear the Administration yoke, and re fused to be bound by caucus action, even when the Administration directed the calling of caucuses to promote strict party legislation. In addition to these three seats. Re publicans doing long range figuring think they have good prospects of electing Senators in West Virginia, Maine, Indiana, Montana, New York, Nevada and Ohio. Republican politicians are confident of success In 1916, and among Demo crats there is an anxiety not seen be fore the election. Another thing that is disconcerting to the Democrats is the recognized failure of the Underwood tariff law. and the prospect that the country will continue to operate under that law for the next two years. There is no idea of revising the Underwood law, and no idea of repealing the war tax law, not withstanding their unpopularity, and after those laws have been in operation for another two years. Democrats of the more conservative type are fearful that the revulsion of sentiment will be strong enough not only to elect a Re publican President and Republican House, but possibly a Republican Sen ate as well.

BRITISH ARMY DRAWS CARGO BRITISH STEAMER ORISTANO lOAU . t ' w- I A, v r-xr il i ZU ..... -. t&saateft ' T FOR TOW SHIPS Judge Bean Says Harbor Is Responsible for Vessels Pulled by Its Tugs. FOR CHARGED HURT rfSUM YET TO BE FIXED Damages Resulting From Wreck of Tlilerbck and Tliode Fagelund at Astoria to Be Levied Against Port of Portland. All damages resulting from the col lision of the Norwegian bark Thielbek and the German steamer Thode Fage lund, in Astoria harbor August 24, 1913, must be paid by the Port of Portland, according to a decision handed down by Judge Bean in United States JDis trict Court yesterday. t The decision establishes the respon sibility of the Port of Portland for damages to vessels and shipping un der its charge. The Thode Fagelund was being towed by the Ocklahama, a Port of Portland tug, and was in charge of Pi lot rfolan. employed by the Port, when she struck the Thielbek. Thus, Judge Bean held, the Port was responsible for the damage, which amounted to about ?20,000 to the Thode Fagelund and J1500 to the Thielbek. Damages also are. asked by the DuPont Powder Company, which owned the cargo car ried by the Thode Fagelund, and by W. R. Grace & Company, who had the steamer under charter. The amount of the damages was not fixed by Judge Bean's decree, which leaves this tp a commissioner, or to the court in case a commisioner can not be selected by the contesting parties. Judge Bean also held that the dam ages should be allowed under admiral ty rules and not under statute, which makes it possible for more than $10,000 to be collected. The owner of the Thielbek was rep resented in the case by Erskine Wood, of Wood, Montague & Hunt. W. C. Bristol represented the Knohl-Bur-chard Company, of Hamburg, owner of the Thode Fagelund. The Port of Portland was represented by Wirt Mi nor, of Teal, Minor & Winfree. SAILORS "WOULD ' STAT H'KKF, Friend Retains Attorney for Fight ing Tars Held in Jail. Legal action is to' be the next step in an attempt to free four sailors of the Russian ship Thomasina, arrested Fri day after attacks on the mates and Captain FTederlckson. The men are Finns and a fellow countryman report ed at the harbor patrol station yester day that he had retained counsel and every effort would be made to have the sailors jpaid -off, the argument being that they should not be compelled to risk their lives in time of war when not actually engaged in hostilities. The men are to be held in jail until the ship is ready for sea. Captain Frederickson was noncom mittal as to whether he would resist paying off the men. So long as the Thomasina is under the Russian flag she is subject to capture by German or Turkish vessels and along the water front it is held that while the four Finns might be saved the danger, the men who would replace them also would be taken, though they could demand release if not subjects of the countries at war. The fight aboard Friday is said by the men to have grown from the fact the second mate ordered them out of the galley. QUEEX DAMAGES HER WHEEL Submerged Obstruction Struck by River Packet in Dark. While bound from Portland to As toria Sunday night the steamer Har vest Queen, of the O.-W. . K. & N. river fleet, struck submerged drift Just below . the Cowlitz River boom and tore away about half the buckets of her wheel. She continued to the lower harbor and returned last evening tor repairs, the steamer Hassalo being sent out on the run in her place. Captain Works, assistant superin tendent of the fleet, said yesterday that the damage to the wheel was not OF 3000 TONS OF OATS FROM PORTLAND FOR FIGHTING FORCES IN TRANCE, THROUGH MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT.

The vessel will be out of service only a day or two. The manner in which the wheel was struck led to the belief that the obstruction was probably a hemlock butt or other heavy log floating just beneath the surface, so that it was not. seen. The company maintains a lookout all night at the bow of its vessels and besides the master or pilot on duty there is another lookout In the pilot house, so three pairs of eyes scan the river at all times between darkness and daylight. - - v COLTJSA COMES UNDER FLAG Grace Liner Is Transferred to Amer ican Corporation. Grace & Co. have taken over the British steamer Colusa under the name of the firm instead of the New York & Pacific Steamship Company, of London, which has controlled the ves sel since her construction. She sailed from Valparaiso Saturday for San Fran cisco under a provisional American registry and on arrival there she will be brought permanently under the American flag. News- to that effect reached the Portland office of the line yesterday and it was further stated that the ship would call at nitrate and ore ports on her way up the Coast and would be ready to load her return cargo from here December 17. With the Nor wegian steamer Cuzeo, the Colusa is being operated from North Pacific ports to iall points on the West Coast as far south as Valparaiso.' Because of the activity of German men of war oft South America the vessel was held at Valparaiso and through the State De partment a provisional American reg istry was arranged so she could come north under the Stars and Stripes. PANAMA?? COMES; IOWAN GOES Two American-Hawaiian Liners in River at Same Time. Hardly will the American-Hawaiian liner Iowan be started for sea this aft ernoon when the Panaman, of the same flag, will be in the river from New York with cargo. The latter left San Francisco Sunday. The service is the best Portland has enjoyed, and some firms declare that goods come faster than they are prepared to care for them. ' In heavy hardware there is a better movement, regardless of the war, and one Portland firm yesterday completed placing orders for 600 tons of steel, much of which will be distributed from here on arrival. In a short time the steamship schedule will be decreased so a vessel will arrive every 10 days, and that is looked upon as a card to be preferred during the Winter, as larger cargoes will be handled and shippers will have abundant opportunity be tween steamers to clear their consign ments from the dock. Marine Notes. "Captain" Budd. head of the O.-W. R. & N. steamboat lines, left tidewater for the interior yesterday, being bent on a brief sojourn at Boise. Idaho. Frank Bollam, passenger agent here for the Pacific Navigation Company, was informed yesterday that special Thanksgiving rates will prevail on the steamers Yale and , Harvard from San Francisco of $13.50 for the round trip to San Diego and $12.70 to Los Angeles and return, tickets to be placed on sale from November 20 to 25. Light vessel 'No. 67, from Umatilla Reef, which reacned the river Sunday, is to be In the harbor tomorrow so work of overhauling her can be started at the plant of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works Thursday. With-San Pedro as her destination the steamer Siskiyou was cleared yes terday with a lumber cargo measuring 1.075,000 feet. It has been officially announced that the Government dredge CoL P. S. Michie has arrived at Eureka to dredge inside the bar of that harbor. When she left the Columbia River a week ago she proceeded to Coos Bay and then to the California port, and until she arrived it was not positively given out that she would proceed that far south. Major J. J. Morrow, corps of en gineers. United States Army, spent yes terday at the Big Eddy, inspecting worn, qq ine ieiuu ianai projcci Being floated from the Port of Port land drydock yesterday the steamer Bear was returned to Ainsworth dock so that longshoremen worked cargo for three hours, and she will be finished today so as to sail at 3 o'clock for California ports.

Williams and the harbor patrol launch to the scene, but the blaze was extinguished before they arrived. The damage was slight, a partition being burned through and some woodwork scorched. EDWARD A. STRtlSS, OF STRUSS - - i V I ' I WEST FEEDS BRITISH Oristano to Leave Port With Heavy Grain Cargo. LOAD BIGGEST ON RECORD Edward A. Strauss, Cereal Buyer and Member of Parliament, Xe gotiatcs Deal for Armies With Northwest Firms. Oregon oats for cavalry and artil lery of the British forces now engaged with the French and Belgians against the German army, 3000 tons in all, will be cleared aboard the British steamer Oristano today, the vessel being sent to Queenstown for orders, after which she will proceed to a port the army heads mav direct. ' In addition to oats she carries wheat that increases her load to 3400 tons. It is the first time In the history of the grain trade that oats have been exported in such quantity from the Northwest to the European Continent. The transaction was arranged through Edward A. Strauss, head of the well known grain firm of Strauss & Co. and a member of Parliament, who is handling large shipments of war sup plies for the English troops. The cargo was assembled here by the Northern Grain & Warehouse Company on North Bank dock, where it was loaded on the Oristano. J. P. Livingston, of San Francisco, general Pacific Coast agent for Strauss & Co.. came here to superintend the loading of the oats and will remain until the Oristano is started for sea tomorrow. The firm yesterday chartered the Danish steamer Nordfarer, a carrier of B3S7 tons, net register, which will load cereals here in January. The Northern Grain & Warehouse Company would not disclose the rate or exact character of cargo she was to work here. The vessel last was reported at Calcutta September 18 and is now on another voyage. By the time the Nordfarer Is dis patched there will have been about a dozen carriers, loaded for the Strauss interests by the Portland concern to follow the Oristano, while they sent the Norwegian bark Alcldes away In Sep tember and the British steamer Ven tura de Larrlnaga November 4. and have the British steamer Lowther Range here in addition to the Oristano. Strauss & Co. is rated one of the largest hop and brewery supply con cerns In Europe and in the past has drawn heavily from California and the Northwest in barley. Last season an agency was established here by Mr. Livingston and on his return to San Francisco to look after other business the Northern Grain & Warehouse Com pany was designated to represent the firm. So long as the war continues it is expected that purchases will be ex tensive and Mr. Strauss", connection with the British administration through his membership in Parliament no doubt will serve to increase trans actions. It Is believed many other cargoes have been Intended for the Britisji troops ultimately. such as shipments of flour, but in all cases they have been cleared from here for private consignees. CHARTER RATES GO SOARIXG St. Hugo Finishing and Strathallan Looked For From Vancouver. Grain freights advanced to 45 shil lings yesterday, so one exporting house was advised, and as the last high fix ture was on a basis of 38s 9d, at which the British steamer St. Hugo was taken. It is. regarded doubtful if chartering will be active soon, unless there are changes in the grain market. In 1912 the highest rate paid was B0 shillings, and during the 1913-14 season 42s 6d was paid for sailers. The freight is not high compared with what has been paid during other seasons, but is a sud den jump, and exporters say they do not know what prompted it, in view of the fact there is less danger than be fore of merchant ships being taken at sea. The. St. Hugh finishes today,, and an other steamer to be along shortly is the British tramp Strathallan. which Is due at Vancouver. B. C. with suear from Fiji, and will load here under charter to Balfour, Guthrie & Co. The Falls of Afton arrived at Llnnton last night in tow of the steamer Ocklahama, and when ballast is discharged loads for G. W. McNear & Co. The Russian ship Thomasina goes to the stream from the Globe mill today, and will leave down Thursday. 1 i SILUTARY MEX MAY VISIT HERE Xaval Visitors to 1915 Fair to Be Invited to Rose Festival. Oregon naval militiamen are work ing quietly on plans to draw their brethren of other states, notably those of the Atlantic seaboard, to Portland lrom the 1915 fair, which is the ob jective point of several cruises. The Navy Department has ordered that midshipmen trom Annapolis cruise through the Canal to the exposition, getting under way in June. Besides these features, a strong ef fort will be made to have the Navy represented here during the Rose Fes tival. Last season there was no vessel available for the Summer show be cause the fleet was busy in Mexican waters and Oregon had been favored in having her militiamen sent to Hono lulu on a cruise. For the 1915 cruise, the Oregon Naval Militia has selected a run to California, part of the time to be passed at the exposition, and other ports will be visited, but time between those harbors is to be devoted to hard work at sea in drilling and ma neuvering. DREDGE SLIP FOR CAT ANN' A Commission Delays Dock. Project to Help Big Repair Contract. As shoal water between the dock 'of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works and the Oregon drydock prevented the dam aged steamer Santa Catalina being warped into a berth, the Commission of Public Docks yesterday consented to the dredge Titan being withdrawn from the slip at the north end of Municipal Dock No. 1, where she is digging a basin, and shifted to the Willamette plant for a few days. Material she re moves there will be dumped on barges and discharged' so as to complete a fill in the rear of the municipal wharf. Many idle men are applying at the Willamette Iron & Steel Works for jobs on the Catalina, but at present only a limited number can be used in tear ing away old parts preliminary to re pairs being started. No time Is being lost In getting the contract under way. and by the time scars of the fire are removed new parts will be in shape for rebuilding the superstructure and as sembling machinery again. MISSING SAILOR IS SOUGHT Vessel Thonght by Parent to Be Bound Here on Another Volage. ' Harbormaster Speier has been re quested by Nikolai Bosroyavlensky. Im perial Russian Consul at Seattle, to assist him In search for the 17-year-old son of a Norwegian named Jo- hannssen, who has appealed to him. The last trace of the missing youth was at Callao. when he signed aboard the Russian ship Imberhorne, which sailed, from the West Coast harbor April 11. The vessel left Victoria August 4 on her way to Cape Town with a lum ber cargo and. so far as Is known, she has not been fixed for a return cargo. As a rule. It Is not difficult to trace sailors arriving here on foreign vessels because crew lists are available and the Harbor Patrol force has furnished considerable Information of that char acter. News From Oregon Ports. ASTORIA, Or.. Nov. IS. (Special.) The tank steamers W. F. Herrin and Oleum sailed today for California, after discharging fuel oil at Portland. The French bark Vendee was shifted today to the flouring mill dock, where she will discharge a portion of her cargo of coal. The Japanese steamer Asama Mam, with a cargo of lumber from Portland for Shanghai, went to sea today. The Norwegian bark Falls of Afton left this morning for Portland, where she will load grain for Europe. The British steamer Barrington Court, grain laden from Portland for Europe, did not cross out last evening, but anchored in the lower harbor until this morning when she went to sea.
