OREGON MAN TO SUCCEED IVEY Burns Land Office Vacancy Still Open Possibility of, a Gold Democrat Getting: Hermann's Place xfo""' Tariff 'Legislation. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. Two Oregon appointments are held up, -and probably -will not be made until the delegation is nere. Ivey's successor, as Collector of Customs in Alaska, will be an Oregon man, and the Bums Land Office vacancy Is still open. The President will appoint nobody that he is not sure is a good man for any position, but the Impression prevails that Mitchell's recommendation will receive more consideration that that of any other member of the delegation. Simon clalma a promise from McKinley of the Alaska Collec'torshlp, and this claim is backed by officials of the Treasury Department. President Roosevelt might be disposed to grant some concession to Simon, as the latter says he has not been fairly treated in the matter of Oregon patronage. Hermann will remain in the General Iand Office for some time to come, as there seems to be a- truce between Sec retary Hitchcock and the Commissioner for the present. The Secretary has had some trouble with the offlcera of his bu reau, and the President has ascertained that the bureau officers have been right, -which has decreased tfce power of Hitch cock with the Administration. If the Ore gon delegation falls to agree on an ap pointment, some good Gold Democrat may pull down the plum, as the President Is disposed to recognize first-class Demo crats of this character. Portland Given a Show. The constant hammering which the Ore gon delegation and the City of Portland have made at the Quartermaster'- De partment has had the effect of giving Portland some show whenever an oppor tunity offers. Quartermaster Jacobs In formed the department -here 'that the Grant could not go up the Columbia Elver, and as soon as it was found that the Warren would not be available to take part of the Twenty-eighth Infantry, the Rosecrans was ordered to take one Dattalioir from Portland. The Quartermaster-General has called on Major Jacobs for a report as to the condition of the transport Seward, now at Portland. If this report indicates that immediate repairs are necessary, the work "will at once be provided for. General Bird, of the transport service, said no ar rangements had yet been made for such repairs, "but he saw no reason why they should not be made at Portland, where there are ample facilities. The Seward Is to be placed out of commission for the Winter In a short time, but whether she will lie at Portland or in Puget Sound, l is said, will depend on wharfage rates offered at those two points. Rates being equal, the Seward will remain at Port land, as .the department recognizes and admits that the fresh anchorage there Is superior to the Puget Sound anchorage. With two members of the Washington delegation In this city, however, addition al pressure will be brought to bear In favor of the Sound in both these matters before a decision is rendered. Xo Tariff Legislation. It is now well understood among those who have conferred with the President that he will not recommend any tariff legislation at this cession. The leaders of the party, both in the Senate and the House, with few "exceptions, are very much opposed to any tariff revision, as they allege that It will disturb thn pres ent prosperous conditions, and there are not sufficient inequalities to warrant any such proceeding. The President has given heed to this advice, and his recommenda.

Despite the large number of ships here, all are reserving very quick dispatch, an aver- ' likely to be confined to suggestlops as to reduction' of internal taxation. While he will have something ' to say about tha trusts,, he will nbt Indorse, the Babcocks bills,' but will give a xather strong rec ommendation, to reciprocity. treaties, sug gesting" reciprocal agreements, with' any country where trade and commerce .can be improved. The surplus in the Treasury ; not re garded as any great menace, by tho Presi dent, especially as he has, been. advised that the river and harbor; and 'the 'Nlca ragua Canal bills will no doubt pass' in the coming session, and 'require a-'con-Blderabje outlay. The present intention of the President-is stronglyfto 'Indorse Jiys Nicaragua Canal and urge the adoption of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, now being negotiated, as sa means to secure this much-desired legislation. Denunciation of Canal Treaty. .' ' The denunciation ,by Nicaragua of -trie .canal treaty, so far as known here, is-re-garded as a step in the direction of the construction of the canal. A preliminary tfea'ty lias been negotiated between the United States and Nicaragua providing for the building of a canal and c6n?rbl by the United States of territory through, which the canal will v pass,, in order, to avoid any complication with other coun tries. The Nicaraguan Government de nounces all treaties heretofore negoti ated, which will leave a free harid for a new treaty when the time comes for the United States to commence canal opera tions. Tuesday's Election and the Senate. The election last Tuesday will not af fect the political complexion of the United States Senate, which will convene In De cember. The four states which elected Legislatures that will choose United States Senators are a year earlier than the other states. Iowa will re-elect Dolll ver and Ohio Foraker, for terms begin ning with the 5Sth Congress, and Sena tors will be chosen by Kentucky and Maryland. By the elections just held, the Republicans lose a seat, Kentucky, and a straight-out Democrat will succeed Wel lington, Independent, of Maryland. The election hext Fall will have an Important bearing, as nearly 30 Senatorial seats will then be filled. Criticism of Schley. Now that the Schley court of inquiry has concluded everything except prepar ing a verdict, there is considerable specu lation as to what the result will be. The prosecution feels Mire that Schley will be criticised for the retrograde movement, tho coaling feature and the failure to make efforts to ascertain the Spanish fleet's presence at Clenfuegos and Santi ago when before those ports, hut It has practically given up hope of fastening the charge of cowardice upon Schley. For the criticism of Schley the. .cllnue jrelics Drai rather than criticism. Ilnnli for Gen'er&fshlps. Tho vacancies which will occur by tho .retirement-of Generals .Merriam arid Hall V nave resulted in tremendous pressure le lng brought to bear upon the President. Jvery officer, from the rank of Major up, who has a friend or politician of Influ ence, is trying to secure the coveted star. Senators and Representatives are dally visitors at the White House or have written letters urging the appointment of friends or friends of their political fol lowers. The President had made It plain to every man 'Who has called to exor cise influence thai no man. will be ap pointed Brigadier-General except on his military record. About 23 Colonels are ap plicants for appointment to the grade of Brigadier-General, promising to retire Im mediately. As Congress turned down a similar preposition In tl. last session, the President hesitates to take the responsi bility of swelling the retired list of Brigadier-Generals to this -extent.

He made a long argument for general reciprocity in our commercial relations. "To this subject," said he. "it Is cer. tain that most anxious consideration will be given by President Roosevelt and by ' Congress at the ensuing session. Whether j it. win ub ueemcu Dest 10 put tr.'s poucy into execution by means of some general legislation equivalent to a reciprocal ar rangement with all1 the nations of the earth, or by a scries of separate treaties, It is as yet too early to say." He said that he considered reciprocity with Cuba as first and most important Republican leaders called on him at bis for political as well p economical re.u, hotel, but the Senator said there was sons.

HILL'S LATEST SCHEME HE .PROPOSES TO GET POWER FROM SNOQUALMIE FALLS. Tforthcrn Paclflc May fio Likewise, aiid Run Its Seattle-Portland Train With Electricity. MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. $, The Great Northern Is preparing to investigate the possibility of utilizing Snoqualmle Falls, the greatest scenic attraction In the State of Washington, for pulling allJ0f its trains between Seattle and the) sunjmlt of the ICascade .range. The Northern Paclflc Jttailfoad Is also cqnsiderlnc the falls as a source of power foV'rUnnlng Its trains from Portland and -eattle to the summit of the Cascades. President Hill has de cided that electricity shall be the motive power 'through the Cascade tunnel, and If feasible, from the summit of the Cascades to the western terminals. The Snoqualmle Fall3 are owned by William T. Baker, formerly of the Chicago Board of Trade. His son, Charles H. Baker, is president of the company. The falls have a total horsepower of 100,000. Only about 10,000 of this is now In use. The falls are 270 feet high, and at present they supply the power for the street rail ways of Tacoma and Seattle, and for the flouring mills In the latter city. EXPOSED TO MUCH HARDSHIP Latest Letter From Miss Stone Tells of Her Snfferlnjr. SOFIA, Bulgaria, Nov. 9. In the latest letter received from Miss Stone she says she Is exposed to much hardship and suf fering owing to the constant movement of the band over hills and ravines, notwith standing the rigors of the Winter. In con sequence of this activity, -which has lately been Increased by the Bulgarian troops, the condition of Mme. Tallka, Miss Stone's companion. Is even more pitiable, owing to her expected accouchement. The belief that Miss Stone Is concealed In a village is thus discredited, as is the report in the birth of a child to Mme. Tsllka. The monastery RIlo was searched by the authorities, as the prisoners were reported to be concealed there. Troops are also searching the neighboring hills. Consul-General Dickinson conferred to- day with M. Baneff, of the Foreign Office, and It is understood that Mr. Dickinson 'made representations against the move ments of the" troops. PLATE MILL COMBINATION. Flfty-Mllllon-Dollar Steel -Corporation Being Formed. P,mLADELPHIANov. 9. The North American tomorrow will say that a new $50,000,000 steel, corporation Is being formed for the purpose of uniting in -one powerful combination the plate mills of the country. Ten or more plants, Includ ing Pennsylvania companies that are now doing a large business, are to be absorbed by the hew concern. It Is understood that the Jones & Laughlln Company, of Pitts burg, a corporation with J20.000.000 capi tal, will enter the combination and will be the strongest concern in it. A signltl cant feature of the deal Is the active part taken In It by Charles M. Schwab, presi dent of the United States Steel Corpora tion. Mr. Schwab attended a conference held In this city early in the week, and had much to do with shaping the plans of the concern. This j hriipvpri tn indi cate that It will be operated In harmony wiin me Duiion-aonar corporation and that eventually the new company may oecome laenunea with Mr. Schwab's cor. poratlon.

NO MORE PUBLICITY TO NAMES Hereafter Xo RcportM Until Solicitors Take Up Systematic "Work Sub committee to Arrange Plan Scope of CelebrUon. At the first meeting of the temporary executive committee having charce- of tha work of setting In motion the corporation for the celebration of the Lewis and Clark Centennial, held at the office of tha -""r oi uemmerce. M6 Washington . will be selected. Several moro. subscrlp- nuwa eru mnae, among tnem one for $10,000, two for 55000 each and others far less sums, but It was the sense of tho meeting that these preliminary voluntary offerings should not be made public at this time, on the ground that these an nouncements create a false impression abroad, where it Is supposed they come as the rosult of an active canvass. Tho prevailing opinion was that there ho hereafter no public announcements of subscriptions to the capital stock of tho j Exposition corporation until all the plans should be made and the canvasH actually entered upon, when full report should bo made dally. The arrangements for tho canvass are expected to be completed Tuesday evening. It was also voted as the sense of tho committee that the subscriptions should be called for In four equal Installments ! at least six months apart, thus running me payments tnrough two years. At the opening of last evening's meet ing there was a rollcall. from which It was developed that the only man ap pointed on the committee who could 'not serve was W. H. Hurlburt. He Is about to go East for a month, which would probably be as long as this temporary committee would last, therefore he did not feel like accepting the appointment. Two or three others had not bean htanl from directly, but the Inference had born given that they would serve. AH but nine members of the committee wera prosont. . SLte of the Celebration. Herman Wittenberg asked for an ex pression of opinion as to the size nn'l nature of the proposed celebration, say ing that If anything nearly so large as had been advocated by General Summeri was to be attempted he did not feel liko lending his efforts towards bringing it about, for he believed It both impossible and undesirable. But If the celebration were to be kept within moderate llmitr. he would deem It an honor to bo a mem ber of the committee and would give hla hearty support In eevry way. He did not think it advisable to ask the Federal Gov ernment for an extravngant appropria tion, even If there were assurance that it could be obtained, for that would meau the subordination of every other interest, and that, he thought, could ill be afforded in Oregon or the Northwest. Why FiBrurcs Are Set IHg-h. Chairman Corbett said he was glad ta hear the matter discussed. He had him self thought the estimate of General Summers rather large, but he bad found that frequently figures are set high, not with the Idea that they will be realized, but In order to Influence generous sup port, to get the support up to somewhera near the sum It ought to be. This he un derstood to have been General Summers' Idea. The speaker wanted as creditable a celebration as could be had, but deemed it premature to fix limits now. "Our busi ness," said he, "Is to raise this $300,OOC. We can have a fair and erect a monu ment to those explorers If we don't get another cent. It Is natural to supposa that the state will make an appropriation, and provide such an exhibit as the statn can best arrange.
