WOODBURN, Or., May 7. (Special.)
The first gun of the county, district, state
and National Republican campaign was
fired hero tonight, when two largo mass
meetings were addressed by prominent
Republican speakers. Leading Republic
ans were In attendance from nearly every
portion of "Western Oregon, and citizens
of Woodburn attended. Irrespective of
party. A spirit of party harmony was
everywhere manifest, and the only rivalry
shown was in the effort to surpass In loy
alty to Republican candidates.
The perfect harmony which prevailed In
the Marion County Convention, the Con
gressional District Convention, and the
State Convention were reflected in the en
thusiasm with which all Republicans
Joined in this first campaign rally. Spe
cial trains wero run from Albany, Salem
and Sllverton, bringing some 300 persons
from those places.
The meeting was held in the opera
liouse, but that room was crowded to the
doors, and an overflow meeting of 600 per
sons was held In the Association Hall.
Many people returned to their homes be
cause they could get admission in neither
place. The principal speakers were L. T.
Harris, of Eugene, and Dan J. Malarkey,
of Portland, both of whom electrified their
hearers, and by their logic and eloquence
started round after round of applause and
cheers.
As the special trains drew Into Wood
burn at 7:30 o'clock, a salute of 20 guns
"was fired from a cannon on tho public
square. Tho Salem, and Chemawa bands
discoursed patriotic" airs while a parade
was formed. Tho procession passed up
Main street and countermarched to the
Opera-House. Tho procession was by far
tho most spectacular event over seen In
Woodburn.
Over 400 men were In line and as the
bands joined in plajlng national airs
tho men in tho parade waved blazing
torches, fired Roman candles, burned red
flro and jolnea in cheer after cheer for
the national emblem, for tho Republican
party and for Theodore Roosevelt. The
enthusiasm displajcd on the streets was
no less manifest, in the hall than on tho
streets, though it was less demonstrative.
Dr. J. L. Shorey, president of the local
Republican Club, called the meeting to
order, and after remarking that this meet
ing was the firing of the firM. gun in the
county, and state, and also National cam
paign. Introduced Walter L. Tooze, Con
gressional chairman, who would preside
over tfic meeting.
In taking his place as presiding officer,
Chairman Tooze spoke briefly of the re
sult of Republican Administration, show
ing that In 1S92 under Democratic rule
tho balance of trade was against theUnlted
States, whllo now the balance Is still
larger but on tho other Hide of the ledger.
In 1S93 the Government told bonds, but
In 1003 the National revenue far exceeds
tho expenditures. Mr Tooze referred
briefly to the speakers for the evening
calling forth applause as he mentioned
their names and told of the work they
have done.
Harris Warmly Greeted.
Mention of the name of L. T. Harris,
who took defeat in tho Congressional con-
ention so gracefully, was the signal for
long-continued applause and cheers, which
were renewed with vigor when that gen
tleman aroi to speak. Mr. Harris said
that before entering upon a discussion of
political Issues he felt it his duty to speak
of a few things of particular interest to
Marlon County. He reminded tho voters
that six -.ears ago one of the Republican
candidates for Circuit Judge was defeated
becauso a large number of Republicans
voted for only one candidate. Republicans
should be careful, he said, to vote for two
candidates for this office.
He said that it is unnecessary to speak
cf Judge Burnett, who Is well-known, but
desired to say a word for Mr. Eddy, tho
ether man on tho ticket, who Is not so
wldc'.y known. He w as warm in his praise
cf the ability, honesty and fearlessness of
Mr. Eddy, as shown by his work in the
Legislature, and he congratulated tho peo
j:e of this district in having him as a
car.J.dato for Circuit Judge. T. B. Kay,
r. mhice for the Legislature, was com
mcidid as an efficient Representative,
wl m the people will do well to re-olect.
Mr Harris was at a loss to "know what
t!-o icues are in this campaign, for the
issues that have alwajs been declared by
the Democrats, to be paramount have
betn Cropped to the foot of the ladder.
He uaM see an Issue in the Democratic
ranks for thlr is a great contest waging
to determine whether Barker shall bo
r.i.rr nated. notwithstanding Bryan, or
whether Hearst shall be nominated. In
the Republican ranks he could see no
lje so far as candidates are concerned
for the Republicans have already se
lected their candidate and are determined
to elect him.
The name of Roosevelt had scarcely
been pronounced when the audience broke
forth in cheers of wildest enthusiasm.
Whatever the issue may be, declared Mr.
Harris, It Is certain that the Republicans
will announce their principles and the
Democrats will "view with alarm."
"You never knew the Democrats to
hold their convention first?" exclaimed
the speaker. "They always wait until
the Republicans formulate a platform
and men they will 'point with horror.
The Democratic party have never had
the hardihood to attempt to block out
an independent platform. If the young
voter will study the history of the en
actment of National laws he will find
that every law which has been produc
tive of good was fathered by the Repub
lican party."
Mr. Harris referred to the Democratic
prediction that industrial ruin would fol
low an election In favor of the gold
standard and reminded the people that
the prediction had failed of fulfillment,
while, on the contrary, this country has
experienced the greatest prosperity in its
history. Many other issues in prpvloua
campaigns were cited to show that In
every Instance tho Democratic party has
been In the wrong.
Taking Bryan's denunciation of the
New York Democratic platform as a text,
Mr. Harris reviewed the fearless fight
President Roosevelt has "waged against
the trusts and agreed with Bryan that
the Democratic platform Is strangely
silent on the trust question. An eloquent
tribute to the boys who fought for the
cause of liberty In Cuba and the Philip
pines closed the address amid storms of
applause from tho audience.
Strong Speech by Malarkey.
Dan J. Malarkey was Introduced as
"the eilver-tcngued orator, whose name
Is a household word in Multnomah
County." The cheers which greeted him
when he advanced to the front of the
platform wero frequently renewed as he
made argument after argument In sup
port ot the Republican party, its record
and Its principles. When he entered upon
an eloquent tribute to tho character and
achievements of Theodore Roosevelt the
peoplo shouted themselves hoarse In an
enthusiastic demonstration. Three cheers
and shouts "come again" as he took his
seat expressed the approval of the audi
ence and their admiration for Malarkey.
After a clear statement of tho campaign
Issues, and an eloquent eulogy of Presi
dent Roosevelt, Mr. Malarkey said:
On tho first Monday in June the voters of
this statfe select their Congressman and their
etate and county officers. This district will
return to Congress a man who has there ren
dered Oregon faithful and efficient service
and will continue to do eo. But what I would
impress upon you most tonight is that you
are voting In June not only for candidates
for state offices and Representatives, but are
voting, as the case may be, either for or
against Roosevelt, and that a vote for the
straight Republican ticket In June really
helps Booseelt more than a lote tor the Re
publican electors in November. If I was man-

EVADE II BATTLE
Russians Evacuate Feng
Wang Cheng.
JAPANESE ARE IN'CONTROL
They Are Now Masters of Very
Jmportant Territory.
ANOTHER ARMY MAY" COME
It Would Move North Along the Rail
way of Llao Tung Peninsula
Port Arthur Rail
way Is Cut.
TOKJO, May 8. (Sunday noon.) A de
tachment of the Japanese army operating
on the Llao Tung Peninsula dispersed small
bands of Russian troops on Friday and cap
tured Pulan Tien, a railroad station. The
Japanese- destroyed the railway and tele
graph, thus severing the Russian communi
cation with Port Arthur.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 8. 2:1S A. M.
When the War Commission adjourned
this morning, it failed to give out any
official dispatch regarding tho situation
on tho Llao Tung Peninsula or at Feng
Wang Cheng. Nevertheless, there Is no
doubt that the Japanese troops were in
touch with the Russian forces at Feng
Wang Cheng, and a report that the lat
ter evacuated the place is generally
credited.
Surprise Is caused by the withdrawal
of General Kuropatkln toward his base
at Liao Yang, as it is thought that im
mediately after he learned of General
Zassalitch's lossea he sent reinforce
ments to him to enable him to retain his
position. The officials here frankly 'con
fess, however, that they are not fully
informed of Kuropatkin's plan. Ho Is
in sole charge of tho operations In Man
churia. The Emperor decided when Gen
eral Kuropatkln startea out that ho
should ave complete Independence, so
there could be no ground in favor of
complaint that he ras hampered by In
structions or adylce from officers In St.
Petersburg, who could not possibly know
all the conditions which the . troops in
T..... ................. .......t
tne field would meet. Kuropatkln, there
fore, has made his own dispositions and
formulated his own plans.
Russian Chances Not Even.
What little Is known here shows that
he intends to observe the same caution
that has distinguished the operations of
the Japanese. Finding that he could not
offer battle at Feng Wang Cheng with
an even chance of success, he has decided
to fall back. It Is believed, to Mao Tin
Pass. Back of the pass there is another
pass, near which is a temporary railway
connecting with Llao Yang.'
The Japanese have followed, up to
now, practically, in all respects, their
plans In the Chlno-Japanese war. They
have crossed the Yalu at the same place
und landed upon the Llao Tung Penin
sula at the same points, and it is be
lieved they will continue these tactics.
Another Army Expected.
It fs not at all improbable that an
other Japanese army will be landed
upon the peninsula which will move
northward along the railway line. Dur
ing the Chlno-Japanese war, tho Jap
anese captured Port Arthur two weeks
after their disembarkation upon the
peninsula. The Russians say the Japan
ese will not find it so easy to reduce
Port Arthur as they did before. The
Japanese army marching northward
along the railroad, once past Kalping,
can compel the Russians to evacuate
Niu Chwang, or els"e undergo a battle of
a state of siege. If the march is prose
cuted as far as Hal Cheng, -where the
Japanese defeated the Chinese army,
General Kuropatkln will have to aban
don Mao Tien Pass, as a consequence of
the strategic weakness of the position.
Advantage of Japanese.
The possession of Feng Wang Cheng
is of the highest importance, as it
places under the control of tho Japan
ese a large strip of Manchurian terri
tory bordering on the Bay of Corea and
tho road connecting Llao Yang, Hal
cheng, Niu Chwang and PItsewo. The
command of the road to PItsewo will
enable this army to co-operate with the
Japanese to open operations in the Llao
Tung Peninsula.
The stoicism of the people Is wonder
ful, but the fact that it Is displayed
shows louder than words could that de
pression exists. Tho Russians had not
looked for the retirement of their army
from Feng Wang Cheng, believing a
battle would occur there In which their
troops woudl be victorious, and wduld
wipe out the sting of the disasters suf
fered. Nevertheless, there is no dispo
sition to criticlso General Kuropatkln,
In whom the people believe, and they
will wait with all the doggedness of
the Slav character, manifested in the
dark days of the Turkish war, for the
victory which they have faith 13 sure
to come.
Long War Is Now Certain.
The energy of the Japanese meets with
unwilling admiration, and It is expected
hey will' continue a vigorous campaign.
The nation Is fully awakened tsjwhat this
means. It understands that Russia must

.NEW YORK, May 7. (Special.) Repub
lican leaders are viewing with satisfac
tion tho snarled-up condition of the Demo
cratic party in this state. It looked a
mdnth or so ago as if the 39 electoral
votes of New York could be counted on
with a reasonable degree of safety for the
Democratic Presidential candidate, but tho
hopes of Roosevelt's opponents are grow
ing fainter every day.
It is true that the Republicans have not
been in a good condition to make a fight,
but they are getting closer together every
day, while on the other hand, the position
In the Democratic camp Is getting more
strenuous with the passing hours.
The cause of the whole trouble is Hill.
The ex-Senator is following his old-time
political methods of kicking a political op
ponent who is down, and while that may
have a fine spectacular effect in conven
tions, it is a boomerang when the time
comes to vote. Tammany men who have
been saying that Judge Parker "may"
not carry the slate now declare with
more or less profanity that they know
he cannot carry It, and they talk as if
they meant to see that he didn't
For the organization of the state com
mittee, Hill followed out his own Ideas,
and it Is generally believed that he has
hurt his candidate, Parker, and also giv
en tho Republicans ammunition which
they can use with effect in the coming
campaign.
It Is the prevailing opinion that the
coming Democratic campaign will be prin
cipally waged on a plank snortlns de
fiance to the trusts. Here are the men
who will have charge of the aforesaid
snortlngjin New York State:
Cord Meyer, chairman of the State Com
mittee. P. H. McCarren, chairman of the Execu
tive Committee. J
August Belmont and William F. Shee
han, Parker's closest friends and ad
visers. Mr. Meyer Is a member of the Sugar
Trust, and his father made a fortune out
of it. All that the son has had to do is
to sit down quietly and watch it grow.
P. H. McCarren is a State Senator and
recognized as the spokesman in Albany
for the Sugar Trust, the Gas Trust and
other organizations deservedly unpopular
with the workingmen. He is reputed to
be worth several million dollars and his
salary as a State Senator is $1500 a 5 ear.
He has been In politics since young man
hood and never held anything but a Legis
lative office.
August Belmont is head of the New
York City subway monopoly, which al
ways has valuable Legislative favors to
ask and which would ask more if the
Democrats carried the state and elected a
Democratic Governor. "Besides this he is
president, trustee or director ot 3S rail
roads, banking and other corporations.
William F. Sheehan has spent most of
his life In the "public service" and out
of It In pushing corporation grabs. "He
Is counsel to several street railway com
panies and other corporations.
James T. Woodward, who heads the
Democratic electoral ticket, was a prom
inent member of the Morgan-Belmont
bond syndicate, which by virtue of Mr.
Cleveland, cleared up JS.OOO.OOO 0f profits.
The other elector at large is Harry Payne
Whitney, who Is simply the son of his
father, William C. Whitney.
"Isn't this a fine bunch to yell against
the trusts?" remarked a disgusted Demo
crat the other day.
Revolt on Part of Tammany.
In addition to this side. of the case, the
appointment of Meyer a.nd McCarren has
created a revolt on the. part of Tammany
Hall. Before the state committee met
to organize, Leader Murphy was informed
of the programme, and although he pro
tested earnestly, realized he was unable
to prevent it from nelng carried into
effect. Accordingly he gave" evidence of
his feelings by not attending the meeting
of the state committee at all. Only two
of Tammany's 12 members were In at
tendance and they were accompanied to
Albany by Thomas F. Smith, Murphy's
private secretary, who explained that h!s
boss didn't care to attend and had told
him to go up to the capital and say so.
Mr. Smith had no proxy, but he wa3
permitted to participate In the alleged
deliberations of the committee. The Tam
many men took no part In the affair, but
simply sat around and looked mournful.
They didn't know where their colleagues
were and did not seem to care.
The day after the meeting Mr. Murphy
Issued a formal statement, In which ha
took occasion to say that the local De
mocracy had nothing" to do with the
selection of Mr. Meyer, although he lives
In Long Island City, a part of Greater
New York, and furthermore that he did
not regard him as the proper man for
the place. In addition, Mr. Murphy flat
ly declined to serve on the executive com
mittee, because his enemy, Senator Mc
Carren, the Brooklyn leader, has been
made its chairman.
The Tammany leader's plan at present
seems to be to hold his organization aloof
from any participation In the state cam
paign. If Murphy has his way, Tammany
will not co-operate in the slightest degree
with the state and executive committees
and the campaign headquarters in the
Hoffman House will be as much foreign
territory to the leaders and members of
Tammany as if it were on the Yalu River
It is Intended to have a meeting of
the Tammany executive committee soon,
at which Murphy will set forth his posi
tion officially to the members, and there
isn't a doubt in the world but that his
actions will be heartily indorsed.
All of this bad feeling so openly dis
played Is admittedly having a baa effect
on the Parker booriV. The support which

SOON PICK II IN
Delegates Will Find Suc
cessor to Hall.
MEETING IS SET FOR JUNE
District Attorney Will- Hold On
Until Land-Case Trials.
BANCROFT CASE REVIEWED
Department Would Be Pleased if the
Postmaster Would Retire-Report
on Charges Against Pot
ter Not Yet to Hand.
OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, May 7. The Oregon delegation
will not recommend the appointment ol
a successor to District Attorney John
Hall until after the election in June.
Notwithstanding Hall's term expired
some time ago, it has been decided to
allow him to continue undisturbed un
til the pending land fraud cases are
tried. Inasmuch as Hall was instru
mental in causing the indictment of
various participants In fraudulent land
operations in Oregon, and is acquaint
ed with all the facts and the records,
the Department of Justice Interceded
In his behalf, and the delegation gladly
yielded.
Political reasons have also caused
the delegation to delay, but it now ex
pects to hold a meeting In Portland
the first week after the election, at
which a successor to Hall will be
agreed upon. .
Case of Postmaster Bancroft.
Other appointments in Oregon are
pretty well cleared up, but it is by no
means improbable that the delegation
will before long have to nominate a
postmaster at Portland. Nothing will
be done, however, until the Investiga
tion just ordered is completed. It is
very apparent that the Postofflce De
partment is dissatisfied with Ban
croft's conduct of the office, and would
be gratified if he would voluntarily re
tire. As heretofore stated in these dispatches,
Bancroft is not accused of any violation of '
law. but is accused of repeated violations
of departmental Instructions, and follow
ing methods not approved in good busi
ness circles. His offenses are such as
might be committed without financial in
jury to the Government, as Is now believed
to be the case, but which misht also result
I in a deficit should he fail to act through
out in perfect good faith. In other
words, his offense is one which may
be construed as a reason for demand
ing his resignation if the department
is so inclined, or one which may be
passed over with a mere reprimand, or
overlooked another.
Bancroft, however, was once before no
tified that he was exceeding his authority
In taking money from various funds in his
care, and leaving his personal I. O. U.'s,
and If the. present In estigation should
show, as Indicated In the reports of tho
Inspectors, that he has continued to
violate the regulations In face of spe
cial Instructions of the department, his
offense will be regarded as more grave
and of more consequence than that
which was first disclosed, when he was
not fully aware of the strict methods
followed in the postal service.
Portland being Senator Mitchell's
home, he will have the naming of a
successor to Bancroft, should it be de
termined a new man must be appoint
ed. The delegation will merely con
cur In his recommendation, as it did in
the case of Bancroft.
No Report Yet From Chemawa.
As yet, no report has been received
from the officials who are conducting
the investigation into the affairs of the
Chemawa Indian School, and nothing is
known as to the correctness or falsity
of the charges that have been brought
against Superintendent Potter. If Pot
ter is found guilty of maladministra
tion, and Is dismissed, his successor
will be a civil service man and will be
taken from the Indian service. His is an
important office paying J2000 per an
num, which, with three exceptions, is
the highest salary paid to any super
intendent of Indian schools. In the past
several superintendents of Indian
schools have been found guilty of of
fenses similar to those which it is
charged Potter has committed. Each
of these superintendents was promptly
dismissed. This probably foreshadows
Potter's fate. In case the charges are
sustained, but because of their gravity,
and the importance of Potter's position,
Secretary Hitchcock sent two Inspect
ing officials to Salem so that he could
ascertain facts anu" do no injustice to
any one.
