WASHINGTON. March . The United
States Is In. agreement trlth Japan.
Great Rrltain and the other co-belligerents
on the principle of action in
Siberia, but the details remain to be
worked out.
This became known today, as the
Cabinet met'wlth President Wilson to
discuss the subject.
White House officials were disturbed
tonight over published reports that the
statement had been authorised that the
United States was not In accord with
the attitude of the allies toward the
Japanese plans. It was explained that
no statement had been authorised ex
cept that the United States had not
given Its assent to the action under
consideration.
Mala Itiariple Agreed On.
The principle upon whh&h all parties
to the exchanges are said to be agreed
is that If German Influence is working
harmfully In Siberia, and If there Is
Imminent risk of the loss of the mill
t.try stores In Vladivostok, Japan will
be Justified In using whatever measure
of force that may be necessary to main
tain the peace In the Far East.
Differences of opinion are understood
to relate to the measures of support
to be given to Japan In such an under
taking,
One diplomat remarked today that
publicdiscussion of the Siberian ques
tion seemed to loss sight of the exist
ence, of a special tresty between Great
Britain and Japan, making It obllga
lory upon the latter to protect not only
her own Interests but that of her ally
as well on the continent of Asia.
Treaty Provision Cited.
. Under this treaty. It Is held. In
diplomatic quarters that, while, as a
matter of courtesy It behooved Japan
to keep the entente allies and the
United States Government Informed of
her purposes. It waa not necessary to
make any proposition to the United
States Government and probably not to
her allies except Great Britain.
It was explained at the State De
partment that no direct proposal had
been received from Japan regarding
Siberia. It is known, however, that the

resulted In the sinking of the vessel,

to this boat stood calmly at their post
until they received another call, Mr.

Mr. Mummey wrote that tt was truly
remarkable how the big body of men

an impression of the spirit of the men

NEW TORK, "March 5. (Special.)
Democratic Representatives 'were re
elected today in all four Congressional
Districts of New York City where spe
cial elections were held to fill all va
cancies caused by resignations.
While the election will not change
the representation from New York, the
four previous members who resigned
having been Democrats, It will Increase
the line-up In the House on the Demo
cratic sid9 Just four votes and over
turn the present Republican majority
of one.
The roll call In the House now
stands: Republicans, 212; Democrats,
211; Independents, 6; vacanci.es, 6.
Three of the Independents have been
voting with the Republicans and three
with the Democrats.
The Republicans made spirited con
tests in every district, but their show
ing fell far below their expectations.
The biggest surprise was in the 21st
Congressional District, where the Re
publicans were confident of winning.
because of the recent gerrymander of
the district in the interest of the Re
publican party. The Democrats were
not at all sure of carrying the district,
but their candidate won out by a
plurality of 2102 votes.
Socialist Favor Badly.
In the 22d Congressional District,
which takes in a part of the Upper
East Side of Manhattan and part of the
lower section of the Bronx, the So
cialist vote exceeded that of the Re
publicans. On the whole, however, the
Socialist fared worse than the Republi
cans. .
Th evote by districts was as follows:
Seventh Gayor, Republican, 7087;
Delaney, Democrat, 10,253; Frazer, So
cialist, 1805; woman vote, 7059.
Eighth Morehouse, Republican, 7794;

Three Pounds for 10 Cents
Three fast cutters sliced choice sir
loins from whale meat at the Munici
pal Fish Market all day" yesterday,
while people stood in line waiting their
turn to purchase this fish at 10 cents
a pound Just half what It was selling
for in other retail places. Every whit
of the 600 pounds put on sale in the
morning- was gone at the close of busi
ness.
Dan Kellaher, Commissioner of
Finance, who Is In charge of the flsh
market, saw how eager Portland people
were to get whale steaks at such a
price, and Immediately telegraphed
Seattle for 4000 pounds more, which
has been arranged for shipment with
out delay and should be on the market
by tomorrow.
Mr. Kellaher also announced that he
has arranged with Seattle interests to
supply Portland's demands for whale
fresh from the ocean, after the season
opens April 15. All that can be used
here will then be available, he said.
Mr. Kellaher also smashed the smelt
market yesterday by throwing large
quantities of fresh ones on sale at
three pounds for 10 cents, or a box of
from GO to 63 pounds at $1, shipped to
any part of the state.
Many orders are coming In, he says,
from all over Oregon for smelt.

The teachers argue that six changes
