OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Nov. 1. Chairman Babcock, -of
the Republican Congressional committee,
made his final estimate this afternoon of
the probable outcome of the Congression
al elections. He said:
"We will have 204 Republican members
of the House with the fair prospect of in
creasing that number. With 204 members,
our majority will be 22. That is the min
imum calculation. I think the figures
will run higher.'"
A Congressional forecast by General
Grosvenor, of Ohio, Is now looked upon
as a regular feature -preceding each elec
tion. After looking over the field, he
ventures the prediction that the Repub
licans will have 212 members in the next
House, the Democnits 174, with Colorado
and Idaho in doubt. He places Wash
ington, Utah, Minnesota, Michigan, Kan
sas, Iowa and Montana solidly in the Re
publican column, and conceding the gain
of one Democratic member in Wisconsin,
West Virginia, North Carolina, Califor
nia. Missouri and Ohio, Grosvenor is con
fident there will be Republican gains of
one member in Nevr York. New Jersey,
Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, two in
Massachusetts, six in Illinois' and hree
In Nebraska. He says the campaign of
the present week, has developed energy
in many quarters, where apathy existed
. a week ago.
DEMOCRATIC BY TWENTY.
Chairman Griggs MakcN a Forecast
of the Result for His Party.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. Chairman J.
Ml Griggs, of the Democratic Congres
sional committee, tonight issued the fol
lowing statement: t
"The next House will have a Democratic
, majority of not less .than 20. How many
more than this we shall have can only
be determined after the counting of the
votes polled on Tuesday next. It de
pends largely, as every election does,, on
the weather and other conditions which
cannot be foretold. The Republican lead
ers have been until recently complaining
of apathy. For the last "day or two, for
political purposes, they are claiming .that
they have overcome this to a large ex
tent, and are faint-heartedly predicting
success. Reports to us do not indicate
that this is true. Republicans every-
, where appear listless, and even careless
of results. We find that our Democratic
friends are wide-awake and alert in every
district of the United States where there
is a light.
"It is well to understand that the last
apportionment bill was so drawn as to
add 19 Republicans and 10 Democrats to
the House, a Republican, addition of nine
to their present majority. The Leglsla
tures of the Republican states where
possible to - do so. outrageously gerry
mandered Congressional districts so as to
create a few heavily Democratic districts
and many Republican .districts by what
they consider safe majorities. This is
notably the. case in Illinois and New
York, but these states have had a habit
of playing havoc with political gerry
manders In the past, and we believe that
this is a year in which there will be a
repetition of this. We are not depending
on this, however, for the majority named
above. Even if these states go as they
were gerrymandered to go, we shall have
a Democratic House by a safe majority."
FAILURE FOR BERNHARDT
Famous Actress Toor of Germany
Xot a Financial SncceHS.
BERLIN, Nov. 1. Sarah Bernhardt will
finish - her engagement Monday evening.
Though the tickets sold at high prices,
and she had abundant applause, her en
gagement has not been trie success ex
pected. The critics -were rather hostile,
especially in the case of "Hamlet." The
negotiations for the actress' appearance
at Dresden and Leipslc have been
dropped, owing to a disagreement about
the terms. After playing at Hamburg,
Mme. Bernhardt will return here for a
performance for the benefit of the Ger
man and French consumptive cure estab
lishments. ACTRESS' TOAST WROUGHT RUIX.
Diplomat Drnnlc to Toast to Bern
hardt and Wan Dismissed.
BERLIN, Nov. 1. Mme. Bernhardt's
playing in German proved the ruin of the
late Baron von Magnus, through a din
ner given In honor of the actress at
Copenhagen. The. Baron, -who was Ger
man Minister to Denmark, and most of
the other members of the diplomatic corps
were present, and various i,oasts were
drunk. The Baron politely suggested that
they drink to France. "Yes," cried Mme.
Bernhardt, "we drink to France; but to
all. France to Alsace and Lorraine." The
Baron drank to the toast. Prince Bis
marck dismissed him, and the Baron died
in an asylum for the insane.
SUCCESSOR TO MARTINELLI
Ofilelal Notice of the Appointment of
Falconio.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. Official notifi
cation has been received here that Mon
slgnor Falconio, at present apostolic dele
gate to Canada, has received the pon
tifical brief appointing him apostolic dele
gate to the United States, to succeed Car
dinal Martlnelll, who left this post to

conio will arrive about November 20.
(The Roman Catholics of Portland re
gard the appointment of Monslgnor Dlo
mede Falconio, Archbishop of Garilsa.
as apostolic .delegate to ' the United
States, as a peculiarly happy step.
The gentleman upon whom the honor
has been conferred held the same posi
tion In Canada for four years, having
been in America over 22 yeare. Monslgnor
Falconio is a member of the Franciscan
Order, and wears Irs light gray robes. He
learned English in a "Franciscan monas
tery in Allegheny, Pa., some 20 ' years
ago. and, after many years of work in
that city, returned to Italy, where he be
came the bishop of a see bordering on
the- Adriatic. After 16 years In his na
tive country he was made apostolic dele
gate to Canada, and -has been laboring In
that field for the past four years. He
was appointed delegate Jo this country
to succeed Cardinal Martlnelll, who has
become a member of the pope's curia.)
RIOTS WERE EXAGGERATED
Disturbances in Porto Rico Were
Personal Difficulties.
WASHINGTON. 'Nov. 1. A cablegram
has been received at the State Depart
ment from Governor Hunt, at San Juan,
Porto Rico, stating that the reports of
rioting on the island were greatly exag
gerated. The disturbances, he says, were
entirely personal between rival candi
dates, and had ho National significance.
As to the complaint of the Spanish the
atrical troupe,, which was prei'ented by
disorder from filling its engagement, the
cablegram states that the company had
included in Its performance some features
slurring the United States, which were
resented by the audience.

ACT IN JANUARY
Western Legislatures to
Vote on Fair.
OREGON MUST SET PACE
Other States West ofMVIis
sissippi Asked to A:d.
ADDRESS TO LEGISLATORS
They Are Aslced to ATote $500,Q00 for
Lewis and Clark Fair Governor
elect Chamberlain Promises to
Co-operate WithJOirectors.
The Legislature of every state west of
the Mississippi River, except those of
South Dakota, Iowa and Louisiana, will
convene next January. An early appro
priation by the Oregon Legislature for the
Lewis and Clark Fair Is therefore abso
lutely essentia. Should that appropria
tion drag along until the end of the ses
sion, the delay would work Irreparable
loss to the Fair.
Quito as much of the success of the Exr
position hinges on early action in Oregon
as on the size of the appropriation. A
large appropriation late In February
would not be worth so much as a smaller
appropriation early in January. Unless
neighboring states appropriate money for
the Fair at their coming session, they will
not do so at all because they will not
meet again until 1905. Can Oregon ex
pect other statc to devote less time to
the consideration of appropriations than
It shall do Itself?
The example of Oregon will have to be
presented before the Legislatures ot
neighboring states. To do this will take a
great deal of time compared with the
length of their sessions.
Who Shall Disburse Funds.
If the Oregon Legislature shall appro
priate money for the Lewis and Clark
Fair, the funds will have to be expended
by designated agcntii or commissioners
of the state government. This require
ment Is acknowledged by the members of
the Fair Board. The public money can
be used to, assist the purposes of the Ex
position in this indirect way and Just as
effectively as If It were given over to the '
disposal of the Fair corporation. The
participation 6f the State of Oregon In
the Fair will, therefore, bp Oh the' same
plan as that "of other, states. It will, re
semble the participation ot Oregon in the
exposition at Chicago. Omaha, Buffalp
or Charleston.
Interest, therefore, centers In the per
sonnel of the commission which Is to ex
pend the money the Legislature shall ap'
proprlate. The last Legislature author
ized the appointment of five commission
ers "to represent the State of Oregon in
connection with eald celebration . . .
and in preparing and presenting the
state's exhibit at the same and to report
to the next Legislature their doings and
premises."
Governor Geer appointed on this com
mission: H. W. Corbett and C. B. Bellin
ger, of Portland; H. E. Ankeny, of
Eugene; C. W. Fulton, of Astoria, and
Edward Everett Young, of Baiter City.
The creation of the body was authorized
by a resolution passed by the House and
concurred In by the Senate. The resolu
tion was Introduced by George M. Orton,
of Multnomah County.
The question now is: What will this
commission do? What are its powers?
Will the Legislature give to it the dispo
sition of the money which Is to be appro
priated for the Fair, or will a new com
mission be appointed. In reporting to the
new Legislature, as 'It is required to do
should Jt recommend an appropriation of
$500,000? Mr. Corbett, chairman of the com
mifiilon. said last night the body might
properly make this recommendation and
probably would do so. He said that this
would be a suitable way of bringing thjj
appropriation officially to the notice of
the Legislature.
Will Appoint, Fair Directors'.
In order to empower the present com
mission to expend the appropriation, the
becjy would probably have to be reap
pointed by regular Legislative act. The
appointing power would, in that case, fall
upon Mr. Chamberlain, who would then
be Governor. The Crcgonlan asked Mr.
Chamberlain If he were authorized to
name a commission whether he would
choose part of the members from- the
Board df Directors of the Fair.
"That would seem proper," replied His
OREGONIAN CARTOONIST'S REVIEW" OF EVENTS OF THE WEEK
Excellency-to-be. "I do not see any
objection to it. In fact that intimate re
lation between the ccmmlsslcn and the
board would be mutually beneficial."
Mr. Chamberlain has the kindliest o
feelings toward the Fair and. the people
of v Oregon may be assured that he will
contribute his best efforts, In so far as
hlii official position will permit, to the suc
cess ofv the enterprise.
Who. shall constitute-the new commis
sion, if' one 13 to be named; in a subject
of interest. Some ' people fayor an in
crease in the number of members pf ' the
board to seven or more;- and others think
the body is already large enough for 'ef
fective work. As the commission is Sow
constituted, H. W. Ccrbett represents the
Lewis and Clark Board.
Commissions In Other Stolen.
Three neighboring states have similar
commisstoniT Washington. Idaho and
Utah. These commissions will make re
ports to .the Legislatures of their respec
tive states next January. They will
probably recommend appropriations for
thu Fair. Undoubtedly ail appropriation
at a special scolon of the Oregon Legisla
ture would help the cause of the Fair in
other states, if the se:.ilon were. exped
ient In Cregon. But there's the rub.
Public sentiment in this state seems to

of Erie County by 3000 to 5000. and he
sald that Monroe County was Republican.
notwithstanding the alleged settlement of
the differences between the Democrats of
that, county and Rochester. The allesed
defection of Republicans on account of
the nomination of Attornsy-General Da

said today. "There are two Issues," said
Chairman Dunn; "the economical admin

I regard the outlook as indicating a major-

lican estimate gives Coler 60,000 in New

Kings County, predicts that Colcr will be

20.000 to -23X00 in Kings, where Mr. Stanch-
field had 2300 plurality for Governor. Dem-

with a right good chance for a third, a
Labor candidate with Republican indorse-,
ment.

tain the New York County Republican

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1. The politi

with big demonstrations by all political

as to whether Kahn and Loud.

against this combination. It Is very prob
able that the Republicans will elect the j '
otner six congressmen ana -that tney will

campaign In Idaho id drawing to a close
with the tide apparently running strongly
In favor of the Republicans. While the
I Democrats are making claims that they
will re-elect Governor b ranK w . nuni
and control the Legislature, there Is a lack
of enthusiasm among them, and it seems
as though they sniffed defeat In the air.
The Republicans, on the other hand,
are confident, and their enthusiasm is
on the Increase. The result on the state
ticket appears to be settled In favor cf
the Republican candidates, but there Is
much dcubE'afyut ti Legislature Some
T -uMican leors are very con-
fident, but the onsensus of opinion is that
the contest is close.
. Two years ago, Governor Hunt was
elected by a plurality of 2160. At that
time there was a perfect fusfon between
the Democrats, Populists and Sliver Re
publicans. This year there Is no fusion.
The Silver Republican party is out of
business entirely. Nothing but a mere
skeleton is left of the Populists, and they
are running a skeleton ticket.
The Democrats believe a large
majority of the Populists have re
turned to their party, while the Repub
licans are satisfied that they will profit
largely by the breaking up of the party.
Again, the Socialist party has been organ
ized In the state, and has a full state
ticket In the field. In some counties It
will get the strength of the Populists. It
