THE SUNDAY OREGOIflAN, -1 ORTLAISTD. MAY 18,1902.
ERUPTION OF SOUFFRIERE
SDCTEEJf SaUARE MILES WERE
COVERED "WITH IiAVA.
Fewer Pcrnom There to Perish Than
on Martinique Conditions in
the Carlo Country.
KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent, May" 17. In
the absence of symptoms of further erup
tions of the volcano of Souffriere, the in
habitants of St. Vincent are gradually be
coming settled.
Most horrifying details of the condi
tion of the Carib country, where thou
sands of cattle and human corpses lay
in a state of decomposition for several
days during the agitation, are revealed.
Although the number of deaths in the
Island due to the disaster Is estimated,
judging from the missing Inhabitants, at
2000, up to the night of May 13, only 1218
bodies had been buried. The undiscov
ered bodies are probably covered with
lava.
In a small shop -which was opened
three days after the eruption, 87 decay
ing corpses were discovered, and not one
of them was recognizable. In the dwelling-house
of the manager of one of the
estates. 30 corpses were found In a simi
lar condition, and other sickening dis
coveries have been made. The district Is
being rapidly cleared.
A number of patients have been brought
to this city. Many are suffering from
fractured skulls caused by the stones
thrown from the volcano, and a majority
of them, were burned by 'the lava thrown
up with the vapor.
Toward evening yesterday there was a
slight convulsion, followed by a email
discharge of smoke, but this caused no
alarm. The weathor Is fine, and the ex
citement Is abating. The bed of lava in
the Windward district is 6till hot. The
abyss, 100 feet deep, and 200 feet "wide,
which existed between Langley Park and
RabaccI, is flll'd with lava, and the prin
cipal features of the mountain on either
side are apparently more beautiful than
before the eruption.
A curious circumstance connected with
the eruption Is that the earthquakes were
not general, notwithstanding the small
aess of the Island. While at Chateau
Belair the convulsions ' preceding the
eruption of May 7 were almost continu
ous ever few hours. In Kingstown and
Georgetown only GO shocks were felt In
four hours.
Although attended -with small loss of
life, the eruption of La Souffriere was not
less violent than that of Mount Pelee, In
the Inland of Martinique. The area cov
ered by lava comprises 16 square miles.
The fact that the loss of life and damage
to property In St Vincent were smaller
than in. Martinique is due to the position
of L.a Souffriere and the smaller popula
tion of the district, the mountain over
hanging sugar and arrow-root estates and
a couple of thinly populated villages,
whose Inhabitants were given warning of
the approaching disaster and fled for
their lives. All the villagers who re
mained were killed.
The officials of St Vincent are busy
relievlng the sufferers and housing the
sick and homeless. The problem now
facing the government Is how to provide
permanently for the natives who lost
houses, lands and everything they pos
sessed. Peasant settlements may be
formed on, the estates, the lands of -which
the government possesses the legal ma
chinery to appropriate, but money Is
needed to assist the settlers to build
houses thereon, and to provide them with
sustenance during the cultivation of their
lands.
SEARCHED AMERICAS CONSULATE.
One Body Found in the Ruins at St.
Pierre. ' f v
FORT DE FRANCE, May 17. United
States Consul Ayme, Commander Thomas
M. McLean, Lieutenant-Commander J. C.
Gllmore, and other officers of the United
States cruiser Cincinnati, with a guide,
searched the St Pierre ruins yesterday for
the body of the United States Consul,
Thomas P. Prentis. The guide positively
Identified the Consulate. The party found
a large quantity of table silver bearing
the Initial "M." Tons of rock will have
to be removed before a thorough search
can be made. The searchers found one
body, the sex of which it was impossible
to determine. The bodies burled beneath
the rock, it is believed, have been re
duced to ashes. A more complete search
"Will probably be made today.
The French officials have burned most
of the exposed bodies, but the stench is
Intense. Within three days past. Immense
swarms of germ-carrylng flies nave In
fested the city, rendering exploration
dangerous.
The members of a party which yester
day returned to the town from the in
terior report that little destruction was
done there, and that the country, except
in the immediate vicinity of the volcano
suffered little.
The French cruiser Suchet returned to
Fort de France last evening, after having
made a circuit of the island. She landed
some supplies at various -villages and took
off some refugees. Immense quantities of
supplies, such as are being prepared In
the United States, are not needed in the
island. Martinique does not know officially
the extent of the relief that is coming.
Every safe visible in the ruins Is open.
Seventy-one persons have been sentenced
to imprisonment for five years, and 11
women have been condemned to serve
three years for looting. The Prosecutor
will appeal to the French Government for
heavier sentences for persons convicted
of such crimes. The condemned persons,
while being conveyed to Jail, were fol
lowed by a crowd which demanded that
heavier penalties be imposed. The gend
armes, however, .succeeded in quieting the
mob.
The French cable to the north is be
ing repaired. The United States collier
Sterling, from San Juan, has not dis
charged her entire cargo. She will leave
only such supplies as were contributed by
the citizens of San Juan. The physicians
may be sent from here to St. Vincent,
where they are needed.
United States Consul Ayme is making
extensive preparations to handle the relief
fund and stores contributed.
Mount Pelee Is continually throwing out
smoke and heavy dust, and yesterday,
plor to 'the landing of the searching
party, the eruption was quite violent
Ashes fell while the exploration was be
ing carried on.
RELIEF WORK AT ST. VEVCENT.
Three Thonand Persons Are on the
Governor's List.
LONDON, May 17. A dispatch from
the Governor of the Windward Islands,
Sir Robert Llewellyn, dated from St Vin
cent received at the Colonial Office, says:
"The total number of bodies burled to
date Is 1300; in hospital, ISO. All Imedlato
wants -now euppliejd. Generous aid received
from neighboring colonies. Nine of the
bfst sugar estates damaged seriously
The -estate of Walibou Is completely burled
In ashes. All vegetation Is destroyed. It
will probably revive after rain. Three
thousand persons on the relief .list The
eruption seems to be declining, but lava
is flowing. All danger is not yet over."
A dispatch to the Dally Mall from
Kingstown, Island of St Vincent con
tains an excellent description by the Rev.
Mr. Darrell of the eruption of La Souf
friere Mr. Darnell said:
"We rowed to within eight miles of the
crater, from which a majestic body of
vapor" ascended. The scene was sublime
beyond imagination. Steam, smoke and
lava formed an awful pillar which ap
peared to us to be at least eight miles
high. We rowed on, but an Immense
cloud of dark and dense volcanic mate
rial descended in our pathway, impeding
our progress and warning us to stop.
The mighty bank of sulphurous vapor,
assuming the shape of a gigantic prom
Wcnv .kftnama a. im o ravolviiuc
cloud, which, turninc with incredible ve
locity assumed beautiful flower shapes,
some dark, some effulgent while others
were pearly white and all were brilliant
ly Illuminated by electric flashes.
"Darkness then fell upon the waters
and a black rain of dust descended upon
us. The thundering noises from the
mountain and the earthquake shocks all
produced a scene of Incredible majesty
and horror. The plutonlc energy of tho
mountain Increased momentarily until
our boat returned to Kingstown, the crew
cowed, impressed with the welrdness
of the scene and covered thickly with the
falling gray dust"
The cable repair 6hlp Pouyer Quertler,
says the dispatch to the Dally Mall, has
found the bed of the ocean much dis
turbed. At one place the ship found 900
fathoms of water where only 300 fathoms
were down on the charts. Rechartlng
may be necessary.
Andrew Carnegie has sent 1000 to the
Mansion House West Indian relief fund,
which now amounts to 10,000. Queen
Alexandra has sent 500 to the fund. J.
S. Morgan & Co. and Glyn. Mill Currle &
Co. have' each subscribed 500 to the re
lief fund, which now amounts to 14,000.
The Mansion House fund e mounts to

WASHINGTON, May 17. Secretary
Moody today received the following cable-
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON DEBATERS WHO DEFEATED WASHINGTON.
VERNON W. T03ILINSON, 05.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, May 17. The result of the Oregon-Washington .debate at Seattle wa3 re
ceived with much enthusiasm late last night At the announcement of the unanimous decision of tho Judges, the crowd
of students In waiting for the news went wild with joy. The streets of the city rang with college yells, and pandemonium
reigned. The students are preparing a grand reception for the return of the debaters.
Allen H. Eaton, '02, who led the team to victory, Is one of the leaders In numerous collegiate enterprises and has
been a student at the University since 1S97. He Is 24 years old, and Is a resident of Cove, Union County. Eaton was ed
itor of the '02 Webfoot the first college annual published here, and Is now editor of the Oregon Weekly. In hs sopho
more year he was manager of the University of Oregon Monthly, and for two years he was a member of tlie 'Varsity Glee
Club.
Vernon W. Tomllnson, '05, is president of the freshman class, and Is a resident of Woodburn. He is 20 years old and
Js -fitting himself for the law. He Is an energetic student, and is popular with hjs fellows.
C. W. Riddle, '03, Is a resident of The Dalles and a graduate .of the High School at that place. The" three young'men
worked .hard on the preparation for the debate, and the award is well merited. Oregon has now won two debates to
Washington's one. , ' '
gram from Commander T. S. McLaln, of
the cruiser Cincinnati:
"St. Lucia, May 17. Excitement at Mar
tinique calming down. Many refugees, not
destitute or starving, but frightened by
appalling disaster at St Pierre, and grave
but less serious damages In more north
ern portion of Islands, were leaving es
tates and sections which had not suffered.
Many cases of pillaging In these districts.
Government taking action to stop It In
Fome northern districts many cattle may
die, because volcanic dust covers vegeta
tatlon. Rains would cure much of tuis
condition. Today visited and explored
ruins United States and British Consulates
at St Pierre. ound some portions
charred remains bodies. x Potomac has
returned to Fort de France. Reports dis
aster St. Vincent very serious. I believe
volcanic conditions are worse, and in some
respects conditions of living as bad or
-worse than Martinique."
Secretary Hay has received a cablegram
from United States Consul Ayme, at Fort
de France, announcing that the relief sup
plies now afloat are qulto sufficient for
the martlnique sufferers, and suggesting
that while St Vincent may be In need,
the subscriptions In the United States
should cease at once.
The President has requested the Secre
taries of War and of the Navy to ask the
officers of their respective departments
now on relief duty in the West Indies to
report their opinion as to the necessities
of the Inhabitants of the afflicted Islands.
In view of Consul Ayme's report it is
probable that this Government will now
abate its efforts In behalf of the sufferers,
and that no more supplies, at least, will
be shipped from this country. The Buf
falo is now lying In reserve at New York,
partially laden with stores, but it was
stated at the Navy Department today
that, in all probability, she will not be
sent to the devastated islands.
A question now arises as to the dispo
sition of the private contributions already
at hand, in the event the money Is not
needed to buy more supplies. However,
It Is thought here that there will be many
other avenues of relief other than of sup
plying food to the people, to which this
money can be diverted.
Raising: Funds in France.
PARIS. May 17. Most of thfc towns and
communes throughout the country are ac
tively at work raising Martinique funds.
The Government Is placing collection
boxes In all the postofficos. The total re
lief fund has reached 450,000 francs. The
Bank of France and other financial con
cerns are opening subscription lists in aid
'of the fund. The Bank of England has
contributed 500 to the Bank of France's
relief fund. The provincial branches of
the Bank are also collecting subscriptions.
In most of the cathedral towns masses
have been celebrated for the repose of the
souls of those who perished. These cere
monies have been accompanied by much
pomp, leading to large collections.
The Figaro, Temps and other papers
have started subscriptions, which are
yielding handsomely.
The Minister of tho Colonies, M. De
Crais, during the day Issued an official
note to the effect that comprehensive ar
rangements had been made to assure food
supplies for Martinique. The neighboring
French colonies had contributed largely,
while generous supplies, sufficient to feed
15,000 persona for 20 days, would arrive
from the United StateB shortly. The Colo
nial Office also ordered 150,000 kilos of
codfish, 100,000 kilos of bread, 40.000 kilos
of preserves and 45.000 kilos of disinfec
tants to be sent to Martinique.
Two llaytlen Candidates.

The Cuban steamer Tomas Brooks, from
Jamaica, arrived here today having on
board Callistheme Fouchard and M.
Pierre, candidates fortfae Presidency of
Hayti, and all the other persons who have
been In exile at Kingston. Shortly after

MM. Fouchard and Pierre said they were
ready to accept every decision of the peo

with flags and bunting and festoons of
evergreens, while some parts of the route
formed veritable valley of foliage and
flowers, to the Chamber of" Deputies, be
fore the steps of which had been erected
a purple canopy.
A delegation consisting of 12 Senators
and 12 Deputies received their majesties
at the steps, and, preceded by the mace
bearers, they were conducted through the
ante-chambers, filled with courtiers and
others who were unable to And accommo
dation In the chamber itself. The King,
Queen Regent and the Prince and Prin
cess of the Asturias ascended a platform
especially constructed, facing the semi
circular, gilded hall, around which the
benches were filled to their capacity by
Senators, Deputies, courtiers and minis
ters. The foreign Princes and other spe
cial envoys were seated immediately to
the right of the platform, which was
draped ..with red. Four gilded armchairs
were placed in the front of the platform
beneath a red canopy. The King and
Queen Regent who had entered together,
took the center seats and the Prince and
Princess of the Asturias seated themselves
In the others. On the left of the King
stood a table on which was a Bible, with
a silver crucifix behind It On the side of
His Majesty was a stool on which was a

Talcing of the Oath.
As the royal party entered the hall,
everyone present rose and remained stand
ing until the Queen Regent pronounced
the words "Be seated." The President of
the Chamber, Senator Armljo, who ap
proached the table on which the Bible
rested, then said amid Impressive silence:
"Senor, the Cortes, convoked by your
august mother, Is assembled to recelvo
from Your Majesty the oath which. In ac
cordance with the constitution, you come
to take to maintain the constitution and
laws."
Senor Armljo then drew near to the
King and held out the Bible, at the same
time keeping open a book containing the
formula of the oath. His Majesty, plac
ing his right hand on the Bible, then ut
tered the following words:
"I swear, by God, upon the Holy Bible,
to maintain the constitution and laws. If
so, may God reward me. If I do not,
may he call me to account"
The Queen Regent, the royal party and
all others 'present listened to the fore
going standing. King Alphonso then
again seated himself on the throne and
the others also reseated themselves. The
President of the Chamber returned to tho
table and, from there, addressing the
King, said:
"The Cortes have received the oath
Your Majesty has taken to maintain the
constitution and laws."
At the same moment the booming of 21
guns was heard, announcing to the city
that the King had taken the oath.
King Alphonso, the Queen .Regent and
the Prince and Princess of the Asturla
withdrew from the Chamber of Deputies
with the same ceremonial that marked
their entry Into the building and the pro
cession was reformed and proceeded to
the San Francisco Church, which was
reached shortly after 3 P. M. King Al
phonso was met at the portal of the
church by the primate of Spain and the
Cardinal Archbishop of Santiago de Com
postela and 20 bishops, all in the magnifi
cent robes which are only worn on great
occasions. Eight priests bore a canopy
over the King as he advanced up the
central nave and took his seat on a
throne placed beside a crimson velvet
covered altar, specially erected in front
of the grand altar. A Te Deum was then
chanted, accompanied by a grand orches
tra. The King left the church with the same
ceremonial as on his entry, and returned
direct to the palace.
King Alphonso today, for the first time,
wore the uniform of a Captain-General,,
dark blue, with gold facing and red silk
waistband, from which hung a sword, and
a steel helmet with a white plume.
There were several minor accidents,
due to the rushes of the crowds, but no
fatalities were reported.
Alphonso was noticeable for his de
meanor during the ceremony of taking
the oath to uphold the constitution. Dr.
J. L. M. Curry, the United States Envoy,
who was well placed and able to watch
the proceedings closely, said afterward
that no one could have had an Inkling
from the King's manner that anything
extraordinary was happening. King Al
phonso bowed graciously to those pres
ent and bore himself with much manli
ness. He delivered the oath with great
distinctness, and put much expression
Into the words, acting throughout in an
intelligent and self-possessed way.
QUEEN REGENT'S LETTER.
Thanks to the Spanish People and
Hopes for the Future.
MADRID. May 17. The Queen Regent
has sent the following letter to the Pre
mier, Senor Sagasta:
"In terminating today the Regency to
which I "was called by the constitution at
a time of profound sadness and unexpect
ed widowhood, I feel from the depth of
my heart the necessity of expressing to
the Spanish people my enduring grati
tude for the proofs of affection and sup
port which I have received from all
classes of society. If at that time I fore
jmt that without the loyalty and. confl-
SsM'
dnece. of the people I would be unable to
fulfill my mission, today, in looking back
on this period, the longest of all Spanish
Regencies, and recollecting the bitter
trials which Providence has spared us, I
appreciate these virtues In all their mag.
nltude, affirming that thanks to them, the
nation has been able to traverse such a
profound crisis under conditions which
augur an epoch of tranquil well-being for
the future. Therefore, in handing to King
Alphonso XHI the powers which I have
exercised In his name, I am confident that
all the Spaniards who are gathering
around him will Inspire him with the con
fidence and fortitude necessary to fulfill
the hopes placed In him. That will be
the most complete recompense for hi3
mother, who, having devoted her life to
the fulfillment of her duties, begs God to
protect her son, in order that emulating
the glories of his ancestors, he may suc

noble people over whom he will reign. I
beg you to acknowledge to all Spaniards
this sincere expression of my .profound
thanks and the fervent wishes I make for
the felicity of our beloved country'
7TEW ERA FOR SPAIN.
Loss of the Colonies Was a BlessirtB
in Disjrulse.
NEW YORK, May 17. Spain's condition
cannot be accurately judged from the
pleasurable excitement of a popular fes
tival, when the streets of the capital are
thronged with visitors, and there is a

brllllant display of equipages in the
parks, cables the Madrid correspondent
of the Tribune. Without reference to
advantageous aid to the special ceremony.
With Its Soanish vlvnnltv anrt holldnv
'humor, the facts justify the conclusion
mat tne country Is In a greatly Improved
state and that the war Involving the loss
of the colonies has proved to be a bless
ing In disguise.
The terrible drain upon the resources
of the kingdom from military expendi
tures has ceased, and the pressure of
taxation has been relaxed. The law
adopted a year ago, requiring the pay
ment of Import duties In gold, has oper
ated well, and Is enabling the treasury
to create a gold reserve available for
resumption purposes. While nothing defi
nite has yet been accomplished In the
direction of a contraction of the currency,
there has been a material Increase In
the purchasing power of the depreciated
medium of exchange, and there has been
also a great gain in the buoyancy of the
public confidence.
Bankers and merchants are convinced
that a better era has opened for Spanish
Industry. New linen and other textile
factories have been built In Northern
Spain, and considerable Investments have
been made in mining properties In the
South. Tho business community has
awakened to the fact that Spain's vir
tually undeveloped country la possessed
of great resources and that so long as
the colonies remained a heavy weight
upon the taxpayers on the peninsula there
was no chance of industrial progress at
home. The war with America has brought
about a deliverance from economic ruin
and has left the Spanish people free to
concentrate their attention upon their
home resources. Employment has In
creased in the manufacturing sections;
new enterprises are multiplying. There
are fewer beggars In the streets and more
signs of wealth and comfort In all large
towns. Madrid itself has been trans
formed from a faded and forlorn city Into
a gay and brilliant capital, with a new
movement of traffic in tho streets and
hopefulness In, the air.
A SPANISH LUNATIC.
Interrupted the Festivities at Madrid
for a. Brief Time.
MADRID. May IT. A madman ap
proached the royal carriage as their
Majesties were leaving the palace, threw
off his hat and said he wanted to marry
the Infanta Maria Teresa. The man gave
his name as Jose Pulz, and said he was
23 years of age and came from, tho Prov
ince of Alicante. He was evidently crazy
and told the commissary of police that
the Infanta Maria Teresa, who was In tho
royal carriage, had promised to marry
him, and he took advantage of the occa
sion to endeavor to speak to her brother,
the King, in order to demand that he con
cede him, Pulz, her hand. When the pris
oner was searched no arms were found In
his possession, but he had in a pocket a
piece of poetry in which he declared his
love for the Infanta Maria Teresa.
On arriving at the Chamber later it de
veloped that the King whispered to the
President and the latter turned palp.
When the King entered the hall the Pres
ident cried to those present: "Be quieted.
A madman or miscreant has attempted an
outrage on the King. Happily, no damage
was done. The miscreant has been ar
rested." The whole assemblage then burst forth
Into a frantic and prolonged ovation.
Caxllst Manifesto.
PARIS, May 17. A copy of a Carllst
manifesto, seized at Madrid, has reached
Paris. It Is signed "Your King, Carlos";
protests against "tho usurpation of the
throne by the so-called Alphonso XHI,"
and dwells upon the sad legacy left by
tho regency, and darker prospects ahead,
unless the Almighty provides a remedy,
which is to be found in tho restitution
of the throne to Don Carlos, "a monarch
by right" The manifesto fell fiat and,
tho publishers were prosecuted.

REPUBLICANS ON SUBSIDY
3IANT OF THE FAITHFUL DE
NOUNCE THE FRYE BILL.
Many BIoreTalk Agralnst the Grab,
but Refuso to Be Quoted
for Publication.
WASHINGTON, May 10. The House
Merchant Marine Commltteo Is continuing
the consideration of thn ship subsidy bill.
It has had several hearings upon it and
there are more to follow. Andrew Feru
seth, of the International Seamen's Union
of America, and Charles Campbell, of the
Marine Industrial League of New York,
were before the last meeting. They were
in favor of the general purpose of the
bill, but were dlssatlslled with some of
its details. Requests for future hearings
against the bill have been filed by the
Joint committee of the American Anti
Trust League and local Knights of La
bor. Other Interests, both for and against
the bill, are expected to be heard.
The trend of Congressional sentiment
Is now in opposition. Recent developments
In tho shipping world have done much
more to arouse the opponents of the bill
than to encourage its friends. The Demo
crats are united against it. Republican
opposition is widespread. The following
expressions from well-known Republican
members of the House evidence the char
acter and extent of this opposition:
Mr. Crumpacker, of Indiana: "The
tendency toward consolidation on the part
of the great International steamship lines
will defeat the object of the pending ship
subsidy bill, and ought to defeat the bill
itself. The country will not consent to
tho payment of large subsidies to steam
ship companies that have become part of
ocean transportation combinations organ
ized for the purpose of keeping up ocean
freight rates."
Mr. Davidson, of "Wisconsin: "I do not
wish to object to the principle of subsidy
as a phase of protection, but I greatly
doubt if the shipping business can be built
up In that way. I do not think that any
bill which has been before Congress for
the upbuilding of tho merchant marine
would accomplish the desired purpose. Tho
pending bill appea'rs to me to fall far
short of this. All the subsidy bills that
have lately been before Congress give
their benefit to ships that do not need it
and that are already doing their work in
stead of to new lines that might be start
ed thereby. They give very little to
tramps and other freighting vessels. They
base their .reward upon tonnage and speed
so that the vessels could sail In ballast
and draw subsidy. The recent steamship
merger takes In the vessels that would get
most of the subsidy." -
Mr. Perkins, of New York: "I do not
think the bill -will be brought up at the
present session, nor do I believe It could
pass now. The. name of 'subsidy' is un
popular, and there is evidently much op
position to the pending bill. No one could
object to the bill if its proposed object
would be insured by Its enactment. If
bills were considered only by their titles,
every bill would be a good bill, but the
question is whether this sort of legisla
tion would result in the development of
American commerce. There Is no doubt
that it would benefit some large Inter
ests. If Congress could be convinced
that the results claimed would be brought
about, the bill would bo passed. There
are, however, many members who view
such legislation with a great deal of dis
trust." Mr. Barney, of "Wisconsin: "I am op
posed to the pending subsidy bill because,
as it is, framed. It Is In the Interest of
large shipowners and shipbuilders and not
in the interest of smaller ones. "While I
favor In a general way the promotion of
foreign commerce, I am not in favor of
protecting large corporations by giving
them an advantage over smaller ones."
Mr. Samuel M. Smith, of Michigan: "I
opposed the subsidy bill in the, last Con
gress, but have not yet examined the
details of the pending bill." ,
Mr. Henry C. Smith, of Michigan: "I
do not believe we ought to pay a subsidy

pending bill proposes to do. The subsidy,
as proposed, applies as much to vessels

Mr. Eddy, of Minnesota: "I believe In
a Bubsldy because it specifically applies
to American seamen the protection that
,has been so successfully applied on land.
I want ar bill, however, so framed that
every ship made In the United States and
flying the American flag, that carries a
pound of American freight or a single pas
senger, will get Its fair proportion of ben
efit. I will not support a bill under any
circumstances or conditions that favors
any special class of ships."
Mr. Curtis, of Kansas: "I was opposed
to the bill as presented to the last Con
gress. I have not had time to carefully
examine the bill as it now stands, but
I understand that the objections to the
old bill have not been entirely removed in
the new. If this should appear to be true
when the bill comes up, I shall oppose It,
and in so doing I think I shall represent
the sentiment of Kansas."
Mr. Hepburn of Iowa: "I am willing to
voto for a subsidy bill under certain con
ditions, but I am not willing to vote ex
travagant appropriations for that purpose.
I want the subsidy limited to vessels
adapted to cargoes rather than passen
gers. I do not look upon the pending Sen
ate bill as accomplishing what I would
went in a subsidy bill."
Mr. "Woods of California: "I am op
posed to tho pending ship subsidy bill,
first, because it does not subsidize in
equitable proportions the proper kind of
ships. The slow ships are In need of a
subsidy, not the greyhounds of the sea.
The latter can pay gooddlvidends with
out any subsidy. Second, I am opposed to
subsidizing any ships manned substantial
ly by foreign sailors. This bill gives sub
sidy to a number of ships that employ
Chinese labor.
Mr. Haugen of Iowa: "I have not time
to discuss the subsidy bill In detail, but I
am freo to say that I am opposed to it
as it is now constituted, opposed to it as
It is likely to come up at this session if
it should come up at all, and I am In
clined at this time to oppose it in any
shape."

tribute to the Organization and the life
of "Washington. I know one man in King
County, 'Washington, who has been the
direct means of bringing no less than
1000 persons from his former home in In
diana and Iowa, and while there are,
perhaps, few of such patient and persua
sive energy, there are thousand who have
done a good part in the work of bringing
new population into the state.
It has been different with us In Oregon
because our first population came long
ago before the railroad era, before the de
velopment which has' made the Middle
"Western States a hive of organized and
disciplined Industry. Long years of sepa
ration and cruel isolation broke the chain
which connected the early Oregonians
from their home folks east of the Rocky
Mountains. Our home people have con
tributed somewhat in Nature's own mod
erate way to build up the population of
Oregon; but they have not, like the new
comers of Washington, been able to bring
out their relatives, friends and sweet
heartsfor their domestic connections
have long been native. Long ago, they
became strangers to any other land but
