SURE OF SUCCESS
Republican Managers Say
Everything Is Favorable.
WHOLE TICKET IS IN THE LEAD
Everything Points to the Rent of
Faslonists and Independent
Candidate.
The Republican campaign has closed In
the midst of Intense Interest, and the elec
tion of the entire Republican ticket. Con
gressional, state, city, county and Legisla
tive, on Monday, Is certain. The fear of
any number of Republicans deserting their
banner to support any of the Citizens tick
et has been entirely dissipated as the
campaign has progressed, and the watch
word now Is: "Vote the Republican ticket
straight from top to bottom, and all be
sure and vote."
The campaign for the state and Congres
sional candidates was closed yesterday.
Wallace McCamant addressed an enor
mous mass meeting yesterday afternoon at
Hlllsboro, and R. G. Smith and "William
Smith, the Fusion candidate for the Sec
ond District, engaged In a joint debate at
Weston at the pioneers' reunion.
In the evening. Governor Geer spoke at
Sumpter, Judge G. H. Williams at Albany,
Hon. C. M. Idleman, Eagle Creek; Judge
M. L. Pipes and Hon. C. W. Fulton, As
toria; Hon. George C. Brownell, Oregon
City, and Judge J. E. Xagers, Arlington.
The Republican State Central Committee
reports that advices .from many county
chairmen and members of the state com
mittee throughout the state give assur
ance of the election of Judge Wolverton
as Supreme Judge by a hig majority, and
of J. W. Bailey as Food and Dairy Com
missioner by almost as large a vote.
Congressmen Tongue and Moody will he
elected by about as big a majority as two
j ears ago. All over the state the reports
for both are more than favorable, ana
Dr. Daly Is not expected to carry his own
county but by a very small majority.
At the headquarters of the CUy and
County Republican Central Committee the
statement was made that the situation as
sized up Insures the election of the entire
ticket. The prospects were never bright
er. There is a large silent vote made up
of the responsible people, mechanics, in
dustrious laboring class, taxpajers, property-owners
and good people generally
who will vote the Republican ticket
straight, and these, with the more demon
strative voters and workers of all classes,
will roll up the usual big majority. There
Is no doubt whatever of the success of the
entire Legislative ticket, notwithstanding
the unfair fight made against some of the
candidates.
The Mayoralty contest apears to be be
tween H. S. Rowe and Storey, with Howe
well in the lead, and Wells a slow third.
The committee sa they do not see how
any other opinion can be formed than that
Rowe will win handsomely.
District Attorney Sewall has gained in
popularity steadily, and the opposition has
apparently lost all interest in Chamberlain
and have dropped him in a last vain ef
fort to do something for the Citizens Leg
islative ticket. Other candidates all along
the line. Including Clerk Holmes, S. C.
Beach for Recorder, T. C. Devlin for Au
dltor, lid Wcrleln for City Treasurer, Cap.
tain McDonell for Assessor, Scott Brooke
for County Treasurer, W. B. Chase for
City Engineer, and In fact the whole list of
candidates are all expected to lead well
under the wire at the finish.
The Republican organlzaton has been a
perfect one. Reports from all quarters
have "been encouraging, and tTiree-fourthe
of the voters are known to be with the
ticket. On the other hand, on account oi
the registration law. It Is believed the
Democrats will lose 1500 to 2000 votes of
the floating population, who have voted
their ticket "before, but who will not vote
this time because they could not reg
ister. ABSURD CAMPAIGN LIE.
Device Employed by' Fnsloninta to
Win Votes.
One of the devices employed by Fusion
Ists to win votes of railroad men in the
present campaign Is the circulation of a
story that one Woodworth, a representa
tive of the locomotive firemen on the
O. R. & N. road, presented to the man
agers of the Republican party in Port
land, some time in April, a copy of the
resolution that has been fraudulently cir
culated as part of the platform of the
Democratic State Convention, and that
the Republican managers refused to give
it the sCIghtest consideration or notice.
Effort has been made by Republicans at
The Dal.es, where Woodworth is pronfl
nent In the locomotive firemen's organ
ization, to interview him on the subject,
but without success. It is learned, how
ever, that he claims he was sick, and did
not present the resolution to Republicans
In Portland, but that H was presented by
some other person, wfoose name Is not di
vulged. Inquiry among Republicans in Portland
elicits the statement that neither the mem
bers of state or county committees ever
heard of tho matter until reports came
in that Fusion workers were using the
bogus platform In the effort to capture
votes for nominees of the Legislature In
Wasco and other Eastern Oregon coun
ties. No one representing the ral.road
men has been to any Republican commit
tee in reference to such a measure. The
story now in circulation is merely a
scheme that is expected to get a few
votes for the Fusion nominees. The
whole thing ls the concoction of campaign
tricksters one of the lies that often find
circulation near election day.
Another story that has been started is
to the effect that Chairman Steel, of the
State Central Committee, is "fighting the
regular ticket in Multnomah County."
The yarn Is so absurd and ridiculous that
it will get credence from no person of
common InteJIgence.
NOT OVERCONFIDENT.
Chairman Sheridan on Prospects of
Fusion Ticket.
Chairman Sheridan, who has managed
theDemocratlc campaign for members of
Congress and state officers. In conjunction
with W. R. King; chairman for the Popu
lists, predicts the success of the Fusion
ticket in the state, but does not appear lo
be very sanguine about It. Mr. King was
not s"en. as he was not in the city jes
terday. Mr. Sheridan gave out the follow
ing statement:
"It 13 hard to tell what the result will
be. We are not making any claims as to
the majorities we think our candidates will
receive. The Issues haye been placed be
fore the people, and we will be satisfied
with their verdict, whatever it may be.
We have full faith and confidence In the
Intelligence of the voters of this state, and
believe their verdict will be rendered in
our favor Monday next.
"We think the majority of the people In
Oregon ar opposed to the legislative
course of the present Administration, and
will not Indorse Its course upon the Porto
RIcan question, the trusts and the ten-
dency towards Imperialism. We think the
majority etihe people of thls.state believe
that Tonfcw and Moody cannot be fre
elected on ."the, stand" taken by them on
tho Porjto Slcan question, and we confi
dently befieVe that Daly and Smith will be
elected to Congress from this state.

PORTLAND June 2. (To the Editor.)
Tour kind irefeijenceij to the candidacy of
Charles EMcDonell for the office- bf As
sessor haVi? been most gratifying to his
many friends, You have advocated his
election art he, grounds of his natural
ability toNmaster the duties or that office
and his gallant record as a soldier. Per
mit mc t6 ca'l attention, to the fact that,
in addition,, to these undoubted dUallfica-
tlons, he had experience In Manila "which
proves nis ntness tor tnis class or worK.
From Ap;ril 20" to May 2S, 1S99. Captain
McDonell had sole charge of all adminis
trative work in'the Manila custom-bouse.
By this, I mean all matters outside of the
immediate' jurisdiction of the- Collector, of
Customs. 'From a new company of regu
lars (and" I might add "incapables") ne
had to select guards for the ships, guards
for the custom-house Inspectors, and book
keepers and clerks for the various "go
downs." Oh him devolved the careful In
spection ot work In il the warehouses,
superintendence of auction sales and de
cision of' most disputes before they were
brought before the Collector. The energy,
and the quick and accurate "judgment
which he' displayed In this difficult position
received tKe highest commendation from
all who had any dealings at the custom
house. ' ,
Charles E. McDonell made this record
where methods were not yet systematized,
where new "problems were constantly aris
ing, and with a- corpn of subordinates half
of whom were new and Incompetent. Sure
ly no -one,, in view of these facts, can
doubt his ability to assume charge of an
office wchere many of the duties are mat
ters of routine, and where he will have the
assistance, p trained and efficient ' depu
ties. W. K. SMITH, JR.

W. B. QbHBc for City Engineer.
PORTLAND. -June 2, (To the Editor.)
W. B. Chase, the present Incumbent" of
the office, has been nominated by
the Republicans for re-eiectlbn as
City , Engineer. Mr. Chase Is a
member of) the American Society of Civil
Engineers, which is in itself a guarantee
that ho Is thoroughly competent and quali
fied, as nono js admitted to membership
in that association who has not estab

But our citizens do not require such a
guarantee,,. for he hns fully demonstrated
to them b.y his official acts during his
present teem of office his ca$acity for
bandlirfr the city work economically, suc
cessfully and in the Interest of the tax
payers. Tfie, improvement of many streets
and the construction of many newsewers
are now in contemplation, and" it be
hooves one citizens to see to it that the
candidate who receives their votes is in
every respect. equipped for the inaugura
tion and supervision of such public en
terprises, as upon the efficiency of the
City Engineer depends In a great measuro

EX-UNITED STATES SENATOR "WILLIAM D. WASHBURN.
the Interviews published in Eastern pa

about Moody's election, and he believes
that he also will be safe.
Senator Aldrlch, of Rhode Island, one
of the well-known Republican leaders,
said today that the importance of Repub
lican success in Oregon is unquestioned.
Senator Aldrlch was Instrumental In pass
ing the gold-standard bill, and he says
that the fulfillment of the pledge of tho
Republicans for financial reform ought to
hold to that party the Gold Democrats of
the entire country. The fact that the gold
standard is safe Is no reason why silver
should triumph. He adds that even with
gold-standard legislation, the election of
Bryan or the return of tho country tc
Bryarrfsm would completely disarrange
the business and financial interests of the
country, and that the vote in Oregon
even on this question. Is especially impor
tant at this time, as it will indicate
whPther the financial Interests of the coun

Graslns on Reserve.
By order of Commissioner Hermann, the
Rainier and Washington forest reserves
will be thrown open Immediately to cattle
and hoTs.e-grazIng, and July 1 the same re
serves will be opened to the sheep-grazers.
Each reserve is divided up, part to be
open to sheep and part to cattle, and
grazing 'will be permitted in accordance
with permits already Issued or which
may be .subsequently Issued. The depart
ment has decided to make no charge for
grazing this season, and. In fact, is with,
out authority to do so, inasmuch as the
bjll granting such authority to the Secre
tary failed to pass.
Treaty WItk Grand Ronde.
There, Is a provision in the general de
ficiency, bill which will probably be" re

Interior to enter into a treaty with the
Indians' at Grand Ronde to acquire the

reservation, that have not been allotted.
Representative Tongue hopes to secure a

The department would like, If possible,
to s'endpne of the regiments now In Cuba.
It Is considered desirable. that the soldiers
In the "Philippines should be, as far as
possible, men accustomed to service in the
tropics., who will have nothing to learn, to
the end that the campaign may be as
sharp and short as possible. But no regi
ments can be taken from Cuba until after
the elections at earliest, and the elections
will not take place until June 16.
When the regulars are sent It will be
possible to begin the sending home of vol
unteers, and the probability is that three
regiments will be sent home at once, the
cavalry taking their places.
Columbia RlTer Appropriation.
Representatives Moody and Tongue had
several arguments today with the House
conferees on the river and harbor bill,
urging1 the adoption of the Senate amend

The chairman of the conferees. Cannon,
said he would be guided in this matter
by the recommendation of Chairman Bur

their attention to Burton, who said if
they-could convince hhn"'that the money

MINISTER MERRY ROBBED.
Valuable Letters Stolen Front His
Pontofllce Box.
CHICAGO, June 2. A special to the
Tribune from New Orleans, La., says:
Startling news comes from Ccsta Rica.
The correspondent of a New Orleans pa
per, writing from Port Llmon under date
of May 26, sends news of a serious nature,
which may result In an International epi
sode. The night of May 24, the postofflce
box of United States Minister Merry, in
the postofflce of San Jose, was broken open
and the letters therein stolen. The theft
caused a sensation. Minister Merry dis
covered that there were several Im
portant letters in the box, one of particu
lar Interest being from Consul Davidson,
at Managua, Nicaragua. The fact that
this letter was among those stolen fur
nished in all probability the clew to the
thieves. Ever since the settlement of the
trouble between Nlcaragupa and Costa
Rica, In which the United States officiated
as mediator, there has been considerable
feeling against this country, because of al
leged favoritism shown to Nicaragua. It
Is thought that the rifling of the postofflce
hex was done by the agents of the parts
who disbelieve In the sincerity of this coun
try, and who stole the letter from Mana
gua to get proof of their suspicions. Min
ister Merry has complained to the Costa

PHILADELPHIA, June 2. The Russian
cruiser Varlag, which left Cramps' ship
yard last Tuesday for her builders' trial
at sea, returned to this city today after
having been given a satisfactory test. The
big warship and her battery were tried
out in every conceivable way, and not one
weak spot was found In the construction
of the vessel, or in her engines and boil
ers. On her speed trial the cruiser devel
oped 22 knots an hour, under natural
draught, and with one of her boilers out
of use, and the builders are confident that
she can cover fully 21 knots when put
under forced draught. The Variag will

BERLIN, June 2. Prince Hohenloho,
the Imperial Chancellor, gave assurances
to an informant of the correspondent of
the Associated Press today that the
Bundesrath, in drawing up the paragraphs
for carrying out of the provisions of the
meat Inspection bill, would frame them
in such a manner as to consider the legiti
mate wishes of the American and British
Governments as much as the tenor of the
law will permit. The Chancellor bitterly
complained that he was now wholly Iso
lated in the Cabinet on the meat ques
tion. Count von Posadowskl's influence
having become paramount, even with the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count von
Bulow. Unfortunately, too. Dr. von Lu
canus, the Emperor's private Cabinet
chief, and Count von Posadowskl have
managed to make the Emperor believe
that the meat bill compromise, as adopted,
represents a great victory over the Agra
rians, In which His Majesty innocently
rejoices.
The Centrist leader, Herr Lleber, who
has been very 111 for months, and who
from several visits to America is most
friendly to the United States, has only
Just returned to the Reichstag, but Is still
too weak to reassume the leadership of the
Center. To the Associated Press, corre
spondent, Herr Lleber said he regretted
his enforced absence.' as he regarded the
terms excluding certain American meats
as too stringent, for he became con
vinced, during his visits to the United
States, that the slaughtering there was
good in every respect, and that the meat
and sausages there were as healthy as
here.
The Foreign Office Informed the Asso
ciated Press correspondent that the sit
uation in China has improved during tho
past few days. The Chinese military au
thorities have shown greater activity and
now seem masters of the situation. The
Foreign Office expects the troubles will
be quieted without further violence.
The Emperor has called a meeting for
the Prussian school pgorm to convene
after the holidays. RjJPug the Emperor's
Intention that refPjpmust be toward

required by tbHP jtate of recent tech

tations have 'V' sent to all rectors o
technical high schools and a number of
noted professors, like Von Desborght and
Busley. The Berlin Municipal Council has
also appointed a mixed deputation for a
similar end for all the Berlin middle
schools.
The Berlin Council has resolved that
ereafter it will build, operate and main
tain all street-car lines for municipal ac
count. The Slemens-Halske Company, at
an experimental station at GrosIIchter
felde, has built and run on trial electrio
trains making SO to SO kilometres hourly.
High civil and military authorities hava
Inspected the plans seriously, and sooa
trains will be Introduced on several lines.
Their maintenance Is said to be cheaper
than that of other lines.
The excitement and street riots in Kon
ltz as a result of the death of the lad
Winter, attributed to the Jews, continue,
in spite of the active interference of the
military. Martial law has been proclaimed
there. Everybody must leave the streets
at 9 P. M., and the military have been
instructed to use their rifles if again at
tacked. Captain Hesse and Commissioner
ot Police Block were seriously wounded
last night by stones.
A number of influential papers during
the week have published articles about
His Majesty's personal regime, some ap
proving and others disapproving. The
Cologne Volks Zeltung points out that
the Emperor's fashion ot speaking about
the German navy as "my navy" is against
the constitution, adding that the advisors
around His Majesty ought to tell him so.
Doubtless the recent telegram of the Em
peror to the Prince Regent of Bavaria, In
which the obnoxious term occurred, dis
pleased the Bavarian court, as the word
ing of the Emperor's telegram as there
published was altered, omitting the per
sonal pronoun the Emperor had used.
The semiofficial Post says the South
African war has taught two Important
lessons, viz.: The cohesion of the British
Empire, even Into the farthest Independent
colonies, showing that Imperial Ideas
really have taken root throughout the
vast empire; secondly, that Russia is not
aching to march Into India. AU the Ger
man newspapers consider the war virtu
ally over. General Becher, in the Lokal
Anzelger, today eulogizes Lord Roberts as
a master strategist. With the approval of
the British Ambassador, Sir Frank C.
Lascelles, the British colony here, with
its American and German friends, Is pre
paring a peace celebration, the main fea
ture of which will be a thanksgiving ban
quet. This Is to co-operate with the na
tional festival in Great Britain.

BUTTE, Mont., June 2. Judge Knowles,
of the United States Circuit Court, handed
down his decision today In the celebrated
mining case of the Colusa-Parrott Com
pany, controlled by ex-United States Sen
ator "W. A. Clark, and the Anaconda Com
pany, controlled by Marcus Daly. The
question was of the union of the veins of
the Colusa-Parrott and its connection beA
tween the S00- and the 1000-foot levels ot
the mine with thoseof the Anaconda. The
suit was to recover ore that the Anaconda
people had extracted from the part below
the aleged union. The claim of the Ana.
conda people was that there were two
veins, the alleged union not being such,
and that the two were divided by what
Is called a "blue foul line vein." The court
finds for the Anaconda Company, holding
there are two distinct veins. Any other
decision would have given Senator Clark
a claim to the ore taken from the Ana
conda below the alleged junction In the
Colusa-Parrott ground. The best expert
in the country were employed as witnesses
in the case.
