Differences of Opinion Among
Republican Senators.
BROUGHT OUT IN THE DEBATE
Allison and Spooner, Who Are Jiot
Satisfied With the BUI, Give
Notices of Propose.
Amendment.
WASHINGTON, March 15. Differences
of opinion on the Republican side ap
peared in the Senate debate on the sub
sidy bill today. Allison indicated that
he is not quite satisfied with the measure
as It stands now, and gave notice of
amendments he proposes to offer to It.
limiting the time of Its operation and
limiting also the amount of money an
nually to be paid from the Treasury on
account of it. He was followed by
Spooner, who took exceptions to some
provisions of the measure. He is not
at all certain that the bill will accomp
lish the great results which its advo
cates claim for it and he urged that be
fore its enactment into law definite in
formation upon that point ought to bo
furnished to Congress. He does not care
to vote for a measure making an appro
priation that not only will not accom
plish definite results, but which might
simply be a largesse to shipowners. He
gave notice of an amendment which he
proposes to offer, providing that the bill
may be amended or repealed by Con
gress without, however. Impairing any
contract made under Its provisions.
Earlier la the day Teller made a
epeech in opposition to the measure and
was followed by Elklns with a brief
address in support of it, although the
West Virginia Senator admitted that he
would prefer the adoption of a policy
of discriminating duties.
The Proceeding.
The Senate agreed, at tho suggestion
of Berry, to take up the ship subsidy
bill immediately after routine business on
Monday, and that speeches on the bill
be limited to 15 minutes, except to the
Senator from Maine (Frye), who was ac
corded 30 minutes.
Teller then began a speech in opposi
tion to the subsidy bill. He maintained
that under the law the American flag
could be raised over any ship owned In
whole or more than half by American
citizens, and thus gain whatever bene
fit might accrue. While he has always
been In favor of the upbuilding of the
merchant marine, he could not believe
that the pending bill could realize the
hopes of Its advocates. If he believed
that such results would be achieved, as
Frye believed, he would support It. To
his mind It Is Infinitely preferable to the
subsidy measure presented last year.
Personally he Is of the opinion that it
would be better to adopt the old policy
of discriminating duties for the upbuild
ing of the merchant marine. Such a pol
icy would be preferable, in his judgment,
to the plan presented by the present bill.
The Colorado Senator said that Ameri
cans have demonstrated how to run rail
roads, and our methods are now an ob
ject lesson to Europe. He believed that
the end of railroad building, to a great
extent. Is at hand in this country and
that surplus money which heretofore has
gone Into railroads, from now on would
go Into shipping. If the Gpvernment
would deal fairly with shipbuilders, he
said the United States would have soon
the greatest shipbuilding plants In the
world. He contended that the Govern
ment ought to permit Its citizens to buy
ships where they could buy them cheap
est and to give them American register,
i The great commerce of the United States
would then induce capital to go into the
shipping Industry
Teller read from the report of the
Commissioner of Navigation to prove that
the shipbuilding industry is not languish
ing and in need of assistance of bounties.
Hanna said that during the last year
or two, American shipyards have been
very busy, but he said they have been
busy In the construction of ships for the
coastwise trade almost exclusively. The
difference between the cost of ship con
struction In this country and Europe Is
the smallest part of the proposition. The
difference In the cost of operation Is
the feature that makes Investment in
American ships unprofitable.
BUcinx Supports It.
Elklns, a member of the committee on
commerce, supported the pending bill.
He directed attention to the fact that
the United States Is now paying $600,000
a day to foreign shipowners for the
carrying of our commerce. If we have
shipping to carry our imports and ex
ports, 5200,000,000 annually will be saved
to the American people. -Personally, he
believes that the old policy of levying
discriminating duties is the best for the
upbuilding of the American merchant
marine. That policy would take noth
ing from the United States Treasury and
yet would give back to this country Its
former wonderful merchant marine. The
treaties which stood In the way of the
adoption of discriminating duties could
be abolished, he thought, without diffi
culty. Bacon gave notice of an amendment
which he proposes to offer to the subsidy
bill, providing that no contract under the
bill shall be binding upon the Govern
ment until it shall have been submitted
to and" approved "by Congress. In the
course of some remarks in Bupport of
the amendment. Bacon urged that the
Postmaster-General ought not to be made
responsible for the demanding of such con-
tracts. It la such a delegation of author
ity by Congress as he does not think
would be approved by the American peo
ple. Discussing briefly the general purposes
of the bill, Bacon said that the word "cub
sidy" has no terror for him. If a bill to
provide increased compensation for mall
lines between this country and South
America, for instance, were pending be
fore the Senate, he would support it. He
is opposed, however, to bounties, the ef
fect of which would be to give compensa
tion to those who do not need It
Bacon had inserted in his remarks a
table showing the exports of American
products from the port of Boston, for 10
months. The object is to show that the
bulk of these products is carried in slow
vessels, much of it in vessels under 1000
tons burden. These vessels, he contended,
would receive little or no subsidy. Slmllir
tables wrere presented for the ports of
Savannah, Galveston and other places.
Allison then stated, as he said, a few
objections which he has to the subsidy
bill as It now stands. He had, he con
tinued, some difficulty In ascertaining pre
cisely what the measure proposed to do,
and his difficulty has not diminished as
the debate proceeded. He has been told
that this Is a better bill than that of last
year. While that might be so, he suggest
ed It Is open to objection. The measure
In its operation ought to have an end as
well as a beginning, yet it provides no
limitation to the time the contracts made
under It should be In force. He gave no
tice, therefore, of an amendment provid
ing that under the bill the Postmaster
General should not make contracts after
July 1, 1910, and that the contract should
not extend beyond July 1, 1920. He gave
notice of another amendment he proposes
to offer, providing that no vessel shall be
entitled to full compensation under the
act unless she shall have cleared from a
port of the United States with at least 50
per cent of her cargo capacity, and that
the subsidy paid such vessels shall be re
duced in proportion to the reduction of
her cargo below 50 per cent of her ca
pacity. Allison expressed the conviction that the
aggregate amount to be expended under
the bill should be limited, and he suggest
ed an amendment limiting the amount of
mall pay under the bill for each year until
1907 to $5,000,000 annually, and after that
date to $5,000,000.
. Senator Spooner' Speech.
Sfooner said that with the general mo
tives of the bill, no good American could
find himself in opposition. The desirabil
ity that American products should be car
ried in an American merchant marine is
apparent to all. ePrsonally, he long ngb
formed the opinion that the true method
of the revival of our merchant marine is
by the levying of discriminating duties,
but our hands have been tied by treaties
which prevented the levying of such du
ties. If the United States should denourfce
those treaties, harm might follow, but he
does not take kindly, he said, to the doc
trine that the United States forever Is to
be bound by treaty with our competitors.
The passage of the pending bill would
produce retaliation, and the retaliation
caused by the abrogation of the tteatlcs
would differ only in name, as to the pend
ing measure, he said, he did not like to
vote for the making of contracts Involv
ing the appropriation of vast sums of
money unless It Is evident clearly that the
object sought to be accomplished by the
bill will be accomplished. Investigations
induced him to doubt that the pending bill
would accomplish the results hoped for
by Its advocates.
Spooner gave notice xof an amendment
he proposes to offer to the bill reserving

to Congress the right to amend or repeal
the measure without, however, Impairing
the operation of any contract entered Into
Tinder its provisions. "That will be a no
tice to all the world," said he, "that the
Bubsldy Is entirely In the hands of Con
gress, and that it is a foundation upon
upon which to build largely. We ought to
do this thing right or not do It at all. For
Instance. I do not feel at all satisfied with
the bill."
The Senate then, at 5:20 P. M., went Into
executive session, and soon afterward ad
journed. MINORITY REPORT OX SUBSIDY.
The Measure Characterized as Pare
ClaaM Legislation.
WASHINGTON, March 15. Senator
Berry, representing the minority of the
Senate committee on commerce, today
presented the report In opposition to the
pending ship subsidy bllL The minority"
denies the accuracy of both the predic
tions and the facts in the majority report.
It urges that the bill is wrong in
principle, and declares that it will utterly
fall in the accomplishment of ,lts pro
fessed objects. It also says that while
It Is not so complicated as. the subsidy
bill of the 55th Congress, it is in some
respects even more objectionable. The
minority continues:
"The bill proposes to tax the whole
people to the extent of several millions
for the benefit of one single industry.
Besides, the statistics of the last two
years prove that the shipbuilding indus
try does not need such special assist
ance, but Is rapidly increasing under
natural conditions."
It criticises the feature of the bill
which carries the subsidy for foreign
malls, and says:
"The highest rate of subsidy Is given
to 20-knot vessels, while the fast ocean
malls, are really carried In 23 and 24-knot
vessels. The mall compensation to the
slow American vessels, already too high,
is made immensely higher by this bill.
We pay more for a -weekly service than
England pays for a semi-weekly service
by much faster ships than ours."
The minority further urges that the bill
makes no provision against a shipping
trust, and claims that it encourages a
combination leading to such a trust. It
also says:
"The lines might also merge with for
eign lines to control freight and passen
ger rates. Thereby our subsidy would
be aiding the foreign partners of our
subsidized vessels."
The report closes by saying:
"We know that there are hundreds
and thousands of industries in our coun
try doing a losing business, but wo deny
that Congress, for this reason, can go
into the public treasury and save them
from bankruptcy. We sympathize with
all men in he hard struggles of life, but
It Is not the duty of our Government to
interfere in the private affairs of the
citizen. We believe that all men should
have an equal and fair chance in the
race for wealth and happiness every cit
izen should bear his share of the bur
dens of the Government, one class should
never be the recipient of benefits not
given to others. Absolute equality of
rights is a doctrine we should never
abandon. The bill Is wrong in principle,
unjust, vicious, pure class legislation."

SOUTH: OF MORRISON STREET.
So Disorder of Any Kind Few Dem
ocrat Turn Ont.
The quietness of a prayer meeting pre
vailed In the precincts south of Morrison
street, almost the entire day. In precinct
11 polling-place, corner of Third and Mad
ison streets, Harry Gurr, the Democratic
Judge, was the subject of a number of
Jokes on the smallness of the vote cast by
his party, which at 2 o'clock amounted to
nine, as against 91 Republican ballots.
The Jokes did not disturb Gurr's mental
equilibrium the least bit. He took them
and retaliated, and he enjoyed the strug
gles of the Simon workers to snare votes.
At this polling-place only a few of the
mixed ballots complained of were re
ceived, but nevertheless the Simon shout
crs stationed outside tho tent asserted
that their boss had been Jobbed by the
printers and the ballots of other precincts
sent to the place. Asked why their County
Clerk had not Inspected the ballots before
sending them out the invariable custom
of T. Cader Powell and H. C Smith dtir
Ing their terms of office they bad noth
ing to say. The same shoutera tried to
shove tickets into the hands of voters in
the morning, but they were brushed aside.
In precinct 22 polling-place, 224 Columbia
street, the police officers were the politic
ians. They know all about the eleotion,
and they knew that Simon was a "win
ner," but their prophetic ability was not
taken seriously. Up to 5 o'clock 175 Re
publican and 15 Democratic votes had
been received, and none of the regular
Republican candidates claimed a victory.
Precinct 30, in the Sixth Ward, was very
quiet, and precinct 31 did not show a
great many signs of life. City Treasurer
Werleln and Fire Commissioner Fliedncr
were there off and on during the day, not
to look after the city's finances or fire
department matters in the South End, but
to see how Mr. Joseph Simon was getting
along. Up to 2 o'clock 22 Republican votes
were cast to every one cast by Democrats.
The Simon men claimed the Italian vote
In this "precinct, but many Italians said
they would not -vote for a man who, dur
ing 20 years of bosslsm, had given a place
to only a single native of Italy.
Precinct 32 polling-place. First and Wood
streets, furnished a little excitement. A
partisan banner bad been placed in the
windows, and an antl-Slmonite toro it
down. The man who posted it struck at
him, but the "antl" squared his shoulders
and the fight did not go any further.
The apathy -was not so noticeable lnthe

Fourth Ward. There voters were coming
and going all day. However, the Judges
and clerks were not rushed with 'busi
ness. In precinct 18, 109 Republican ana
four Democratic votes were cast before 2
o'clock. All was quiet and orderly. "No
city officials were there except a couple
of policemen, who, strange to say, took no
interest In politics, and asked no ques
tions. Deputy Sheriffs, also, were there
to preserve order.

Undoubtedly the declared intentions of
Sheriff Frarler and District Attorney
Chamberlain to arrest and prosecute any
persons attempting to vote illegally was
responsible for the comparative quietness
of the day 'in the Tenderloin precincts.
Considerably less than half the -vote reg
istered had appeared at 3 P. M. Workers
for the machine were so numerous that
they were in each other's way, and evi
dently they were liberally provided with
expense money, for the saloons near the
polling-places did a rushing business, JUid
the machine heelers were hosts. That the
1 7rSBsaBgKnhu''? j F,issssssissssr'91

precincts were controlled by the machine
was apparent at every turn. Policemen In
uniform acted as steerers, afjd worked
for Senator Simon, as they doubtless were
ordered to do by the powers "higher up."
To the ordinary citizen It would seem
that five policemen In a single precinct,
on a day as quiet as yesterday, was over
much. Tet that number were at precincts
4 and 9 yesterday afternoon, and they
gave all possible aid to the machine. The
hobo vote was herded to the polls In the
morning, and many illegal voters un
doubtedly got through, because of the
control through the police, which was
given to the Simon men. In the ninth the
policemen were behind the rail with the
Judges and clerks, and had the liberty of
the entire place. The challenger of the
Independents questioned the right of sev
eral persons to vote, but his protest was
Ignored. Twice requests were made for
Deputy Sheriffs to arrest fraudulent vot
ers, but they could not be reached when
needed. For every representative of the
Independents there were five -for. the ma
chine', not counting the police. Vehicles
were on hand, and hobos whose acquaint
ance with conveyances has hitherto been
largely confined to patrol' wagons were
given all the considerations of distin
guished visitors. .
In the ninth a campaign -paster that
was offensive to every fair-minded citizen
was boldly posted upln the window of
the polling-place,' Protest was made to

tho election officials, and the protest was
laughed at. The policeman on duty was
asked to remove It. or order Its removal,
and he walked away. Finally several
well-known citizens called on Chief Mc
Lauchlan, and insisted that the poster be
removed. The Chief sent to the polling
place Instructions to tear down the pla
card, which was done.
In precinct 10 at 4 o'clock ICO votes had
been cast, out of a registration exceeding
400. In precinct 9, out of a registration
of 492, but 174 votes had been recorded. In
the 11th 157 votes had been cast, and in
the fourth and fifth the figures were 121
and 173 respectively. But a small propor
tion were Democratic votes. An amusing
Incident occurred" In the ninth, when a
candidate for delegate on the Democratic
ticket refused a Democratic ballot which
was tendered him.
"I want to vote the Independent ticket,"
he declared.
But the Simon machine challenger over
heard the declaration of intention, and
protested, which was upheld. Watchers
in the 14th reported that one of the Judges
opened several of the ballots after they
had been returned by the voter. At 4 P.
M. 121 votes had been cast In this pre
cinct. IK TUB FIRST WARD.

IX EASTEUX MULTNOMAH.
The County Spilt Even Contests for
Ronil Supervisor?!.
" Partisan feeling ran quite as high In
the several precincts of Eastern Mult
nomah as It did In tho city. It was all
Simon or antl-SImon, with a dash of
politics thrown In for seasoning. Tho
question of who shall be Road Super
visors was debated and fought oyer In
all of them, with the result that In at
least three precincts, the most important
ones, the incumbents will not be
their own successors. At Falrvlew
the elected delegates announced them
selves In favor of Robert Robinson, a
pronounced antl-SImon man. and they
received majorities of more than two
to one. One peculiarity of the contest
at that place was the announcement by
one of the Simon candidates that he
was a "Mitchell" man. This running
mate claimed to be a black Republican,
without any choice of men. Both were
snowed under.
At Gresham the machine delegates won
out with good majorities. . Charles
Cleveland, whd expects to get the nomi
nation for County Commissioner, got the
highest vote. The delegates from there
are pronounced In favor of D. W. Meta
ger for Road Supervisor, but they were
not pledged to give him the nomination.
Gresham will cast a b!gvote In June and
the majority will undoubtedly be for
the regular ticket, whatever It may be.
The result yesterday shows the Influence
of the Cleveland.?, as they aro tireless
workers and have the backing of the
county organization.
In Troutdale precinct the result was a
Waterloo for Joseph Simon. The regular
ticket was badly beaten by the Inde
pendents. After the delegates were
chosen they demanded to be Instructed
as to whom they should nominate for
Supervisor. The result was in favor of
James Branham, who defeated E. C.
Uttlepage by a vote of 76 to 58.
At Hurlburt there was ho choice for
Road Supervisor, and reports from there
aro very meager. It was reported that
the regular ticket waa defeated Jjy a
small majority.
Old-time methods prevailed at all the
country polling places yesterday. A
chairman and secretary were elected by
those present and two tellers were ap
pointed. Then the balloting was done
by putting slips of paper In a hat. The
contest was over in an hour or two. Ro
sults of the primaries in the country
will be found In tho tabulated state
ment, showing the names of the various
Republican candidates and the votes
each received.

chine Judges and Clerk.
Tho Simon machine supporters ran
things with a high hand In precinct 60,
the voting place of which was at South
Mount Tabor. They had their own orowd
present when the polls opened, and elect
ed judges and clerks known to be affili
ated with tho machine with but one ex
ception. The exception was a Democrat,
as provided by law, but a request from
the Independents for representation on
the election board was refused. J. F. Gil
bert, the Simon candidate for Road Su
pervisor, was elected hands down, as
were the machine delegates. Albert Vail,
S. D. Campbell and H. J. Hefty.
Henry Chapman, who Is well known In
the precinct, said yesterday that the ma.
chine men who controlled affairs were so
offensive In their tactics that many respec
table citizens refused to vote, preferring
to remain away rather than .sanction by
voting the disreputable methods pursued.
The Independents nominated Mr. Kelly
for receiver of the ballots and elected
hlra by a standing vote. Mr. Kendall,
who had charge of the box. refused, to
give It up. A number of votes were
passed In to him and were put into tha
box. and two voters who challenged them
were told to sit down. Disgusted with the
Simon methods, a number of Republicans
left the polls.
GREAT REJOICIXQ AT SALEM.
Xcvrs of Simon's Defeat Received
With Wild Enthusiasm
SALEM. Or., March 15.The news of Si
mon's defeat in Multnomah County was
received with wild enthusiasm in Salem.
A crowd soon gathered around the tele
graph office, and as bulletins' wero re
ceived, cheer after cheer wa3 given. The
Military Band was sent for, and several
spirited tunes were played, closing' with
a funeral march. Cheers were given for
Wrlghtman and Dr. J. N. Smith, the antl
SImon leaders, and then the crowd moved
down to Waters' cigar store, which has
been an antl-SImon rendezvous. After a
short serenade for Waters brothers, a
procession was formed. Dr. J. N. Smith
placed at the head, and the crowd marched
to the residence of P. T. Wrlghtman. to
the tune of "Marching Through Georgia."
Wrightman was given a rousing demon
stration. Mr Wrlghtman appeared, and
was Introduced to the assembly by Ted
Crawford as the "next Attorney-General
of Oregon." Mr. Wngmmnn expressed
his gratitude for the good-will evidenced,
and expressed pleasure for tho overthrow
of "that little man" in Multnomah County-,
who had dictated the politics of the state
for several years.
Dr. J N. Smith was called for, and re
sponded by saying repudiation of Simon
and his methods marked the introduction
of clean politics In Oregon. State Treas
urer Moore's residence was next visited,
where the band discoursed "Marching
Through Georgia." Mr. Moore having
retired for the night, the band proceeded
to Secretary of State Dunbar's home. That
gentleman was called for, and addressed
the crowd, expressing his pleasure at the
successful dethronement of Simon and
voicing' the hope "that Oregon's next
United States Senator would remain In
Washington, where his constituents had
sent him." Tho rejoicing delegation then
repaired to the business section of the
city, where cheers were given for H. W.
Scott, C. W. Fulton and Solomon Hlrsch,
and then for "the boys who have success
fully fought corruption In politics In Mult
nomah County."

Most people -think that catarrh Is a dis
ease confined to the head and nose. Noth
ing is farther from the truth. It may be
that the nose and throat 13 the oftenest
affected by catarrh, but If this Is 30 it Is
ao only because thee parts are more ex
posed to the vicissitudes of the climate
than the other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity
of tha human body Is liable to catarrh. A
multitude of ailments depend on catarrh.
This Is true Wfnter and Summer. Catarrh
-causes many cases of chronic disease,
where the victim has sot the slightest sus
picion that catarrh has anything to do
with it.
The following letter, which gives tho
oxpertence of Mr. A. C. Lockhart, Is a case
in point:
Mr. A. C. Lockhart, corner Cottage
street and Thurston Road, Rochester, N.
Y., in a letter written to Dr. Hartman,
says the following of Peruna:
Ahout fifteen years ago I commenced to
be ailing, and Consulted a physician. He
pronounced my trouble & species of dys
pepsia, and advised me. after he had treat
ed me about six months, to get a leave
of absence from my business and go into
the country. I did so, and got temporary
relief. I went back to work again, but
was taken with very distressing pains in
my stomach.

But there's a record of 60 years of cures
back of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. And phy

bronchitis, and coughs of all kinds. Prob
ably your own doctor does. Ask him. He

ty settles the Senatorial fight In Marion,
so far as Simon Is concerned. The re
turns from the Republican primaries last
night left doubt as to which faction would
have the support of the Legislative dele
gation from Marlon County. Since Simon
has been defeated In his own county. It Is
safe to say that no Simon man will be
placed on the Republican ticket in .this
county.
The defeat of Simon was very plainly a
great disappointment to friends of Gov
ernor Geer. It Is generally believed that
Gcer cannot get much, if any, help with
an antl-SImon delegation from Multnomah
County. While he Is by no means ad
mitted to be out of tha race. It 13 plain
that the result in Multnomah was a seri
ous reverse. Though Geer did not carry
Marlon County solidly, it Is believed he
will have practically a solid delegation
from this county to the convention.
