OREGON VOTE AN INDICATOR Way New York Goes No Longer Gives Concern, CHANGES !N THE4 CABINET Cortelyou Will Return After the Campaign to Be fPostmaster-General-Knox Will Be -Power In Senate. ORHGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash lngton, June IS. President Roosevelt's continued popularity In the "West Is one of the encouraging signs to the Republi cans. "While there has been trouble in New York, and theflnanclal centers have, at times Indicated a desire for some 6th er man for President, the man who trav els west of the Allegheny Mountains learns that the President grows In strength steadily,, .and there is not the least doubt of his carrying all of the Northern and Western states, unless per haps it should be Nevada and Colorado. And even these states, remembering that It was President Roosevelt who secured the passage of the Irrigation law, are like ly to swing Into line for him. The result of the Oregon election Is gen erally taken to show the strength of the President. "While it is known that Ore gon is a Republican state, yet In the June elections it is not often that such tre mendous majorities are given, and there can be no interpretation placed upon the extraordinary vote save that the people of Oregon desired to give the President on indorsement. This is an evidence of the President's popularity throughout the "West. Following of His Own In New Yorkt While the President's popularity in the "West is such as to almost Insure his elec tion, no matter how New York goes. It might bo well to remember that New Tork Is not wholly dependent upon an agreement between Piatt and Odell. These men may continue to war, yet there is a very strong Roosevelt element through out the state that Is for the President, regardless of whether Odell or Piatt get together. Aa a matter of fact, Roosevelt gets along with both Odell and Piatt, con sequently even If the factional fight Is kept up, the Roosevelt electors ought sot to be affected. Cortelyou to Resign This Week. Beforo many days President Roosevelt will have to appoint a new Secretary of Commerce and Labor. During the next week. In all probability, George B. Cor telyou will be chosen chairman of the Re publican National Committee, and will im mediately resign his Cabinet office. It is difficult to foretell who will succeed him, although it is announced that the favored individual has already been selected by the President. James A. Garfield, now Chief of the Bureau of Corporations, in the Department of Commerce and Labor, has been, thought by some to be the man. i2x-Governor Slerrlam. of Minnesota, late Director of the Census, Is another possi bility, as Is Congressman Metcalf, of Cali fornia, and so It goes down a long list, but until the change is actually made, lit tle will be known about the President's choice. Will Return to the Cabinet. After the close of the campaign, or rathor at the opening of the new admin istration. Secretary Cortelyou la to re enter the Cabinet, probably as Postmas-ter-Goneral. Mr. Payne intends to retire at the close of his present term, on ac count of poor health. The President rec ognizes in Cortelyou a man of excep tional executive ability, and, more than all else, a clean, straight-out worker, who is not tainted by a too-close connec tion with politics. It was for this reason that Cortelyou was chosen as chairman of the National Committee, and, in spite of the fact that he has had little experi ence in active politics. In many respecta he la a man like the President himself, which accounts for the strong bond be tween them. New "Mouthpiece" In Senate. When Congress meets in December, the administration will have two "mouth pieces" In the Senate. Up to the present time. Senator Lodge has been regarded among legislators as the closest man to the President, and has been looked to for an expression of the opinions and ideas of the administration on matters of pend ing legislation. But Attorney-General Knox, who succeeds the late Senator Quay. Is hardly less close to the Presi dent than Senator Lodge. The President has the greatest admiration for his Attorney-General, and never falls to seek his advice on matters of a National as well as a legal character. Both Knox and Lodge are close to the President, and both may be regarded as carrying out the ideas of the administration, so far as men in their relations with the Presi dent can do. The fact that Knox goes to the Senate does not mean that his work with the President against the "bad trusts" is to cease. On tie contrary, he will be in a position to lend the Administration val uable aid. The anti-trust legislation, re cently enacted by the advice of the Ad ministration, was experimental In char acter, and Intended prlnclFaUy to facili tate prompt procedure under the Sher man law and Its amendments. It was anticipated when the new laws were passed that they would operate to show tip the shortcomings of the existing law, and indicate wherein that law should be modified or strengthened. There will be no trust legislation in the short session, but In the first session of the Fifty-ninth Congress enough will be known about ex isting laws to Indicate what changes are deemed advlsablo, and then it will be that the now Senator from Pennsylvania; with his intimate knowledge of the working of- the existing laws, -will be able to lend a strong hand in securing more perfect anti-trust legislation, which will the bet ter enable tae Government to Teach cor porations which ore oppressing the peo ple. . SURE FAIR WILL BE SUCCESS. Tawney In High Spirits Over' the Lewis and Clark Exposition. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington, June IS. "I am sure the Lewis and Clark Exposition will be a financial success," said Representative Tawney to day. Mr. Tawney just now Is deeply in terested In the finances of the St. Louis Exposition, and has been urging Presi dent Francis and other exposition au thorities to advertise their show more extensively. "Tbe-expositions have to be exploited," said Mr. Tawney, "If I were running the St Louis Exposition, I would engage the best .circus, advance .agent that could be had. would pay him. his price, and it would -be mouey well invested. Tou have got to, let- people know, what Is on before tney will come to your show. I believe the: Goverhment wfll -ee,t back all of the $4,600,000 -loan it made -to the St. Louis Exposition, hut before anybody makes money there must be more advertising. Portland will have to do the same. "While : 1 feel sure . that the exposition will turn' out a financial success, the more it is ad-. vertlsed the. more successful It will be." Representative- Tawney Is greatly pleased at the large . Republican major ities in Oregon, ana believes "they fore shadow the result of-the .general election in -November. TRY TP KEEP ALASKANS OUT. Indian Bureau Not Willing They Be Educated. at Chemawa. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington, June" 18. Notwithstanding the fact that Congress, at the recent session, ap propriated $5000 to defray the expenses of transporting Indian children from Alaska to the Chemawa Indian School, It is im probable that the money will be expended for tho purpose. The Indian Bureau does not regard the natives of Alaska as In dians, and is making an endeavor to keep out of the schools under its charge all children not generally accepted as In dians. In the Southern schools it has long, had difficulty with the Mexicans, who have been crowded In from time to time, until it is almost impossible to weed them out. It is feared the same thing would occur at Chemawa, if native Alaskan children, who are' regarded as Eskimos, should gain admission to Chemawa. It Is the desire of the office to maintain the Chemawa institution solely for the educa tion of Indian children, and. as far as pos sible, all others will be excluded. The In dian Bureau believes the native Alaskan children are adequately taken care of un der the Bureau of Education, which .main tains schools at numerous points in Alaska. ARMY OFFICER TO BE AGENT Hitchcock Decides Upon Policy for Colville Indian Reservation. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington, June IS. Secretary Hitchcock has determined to appoint a retired Army officer as Indian Agent at Colville, Wash., and is looking about for a man. At Hitchcock's request, General Chaffee wrote to several retired officers, asking if this assignment would be accept able to them, but most of those addressed declined the appointment. Two or three names of men willing to accept the place at a salary of $1500, In addition to their re tired pay, are under consideration, and tho appointment will probably be made early next week. The officer appointed will be a regular agent and must be confirmed by the Sen ate. By the selection of a retired Army man, however, the office is practically re moved from politics. The "Washington Senators were not consulted in the selec tion of an agent. Because of the fact that Colville also controls Spokane and Coeur d'Alene reservations, it was deemed inad visable to abolish the agency and place a bonded superintendent in charge, as at first proposed. MANY SPEAK FOR POTTER. Indian Official's Case, However, Will Be Considered on Its Merits. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 18. Secretary Hitchcock and Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones have received a great number of letters from persons In Oregon and neighboring states, protesting against tho removal of T. W. Potter, as superintendent of the Chemawa Indian School. Many of the let ters come from personal friends of Mr. Potter. Others apparently are obtained through the influence of friends. When Potter's, case Is considered these letters will not Influence the department In the least The facts as reported by the inspecting officials, and as found by In dian Commissioner Jones, will form the basis of the decision of the department Will Meet Director Goode Tomorrow. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Juno IS. A telegram was received here today from Director-General Goode, of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, stat ing that he will arrive In Washington Monday, and hopes- to meet the Govern ment board to discuss sites for Govern ment buildings and other matters connect ed with the Government's exhibit. The building committee will be pleased to meet Mr. Goode on. the date mentioned, and will later consider the report of Treasury Agent J. W. Roberts, who recommends acceptance ofthe peninsula site. Cortelyou -Speaks at College Banquet. WESTFIELD. Mass., June IS. The tri ennial meeting and banquet of the West field State Normal School, which is the second oldest of Its kind In the country, took place this afternoon. Secretary George B. Cortelyou, as president of th Alumni Association, presided and made an address. Secretary Cortelyou spoke In part as follows: "It Is not necessary to be o. pessimist to recognize evil tendencies and forbidding Influences that menace the National wel fare. The founders of the Nation breathed the verj spirit of optimism, and while recognizing that this Government, like all human devices, had its imperfections, the great leaders of American thought and action, from the days of Washington to the present moment, have carried aloft the banner of a National hopefulness, and have been sustained and strengthened by a firmly-rooted belief in the Integrity and greatness and glory of this mighty Re public." New Coast Coaling Station for Navy. WASHINGTON. JunelS. The bureau of equipment of the Navy Department has planned to establish a large coaling sta tion, with a capacity of 100,000 tons, at California City, a point on the western point of San Francisco Bay, where the department has acquired a large tract of land.

Grant Memorial University at Athens, Tenn., In 1837. The following year she married J. B. West, .a leading lawyer of Ashevllle, N. C. At the time ot her marriage, Mrs. "West had -been elected to the chair of mathematics In the State Normal School of North Carolina, and had- been offered other Important positions In the, educational work. In 1801, Mr and Mrs. "West came to Moscow, Idaho, Mrs. West's health having become so poor that a change of climate was regarded as necessary. In 1S09 tne family removed to Lewlston, Mr. "West having been appointed Register of the United States Land Office here. They have a beautiful home here. Mrs "West pays little attention to society, although well known arid enthusiastically admired by the ladles of the state. Although always .interested In politics, Mrs. West has never made a campaign or the state as a speaker. These men are Inspiring awe among the ignorant nomads by rneaas of an alleged miracle carried -out with the aid of elec trical and pyrotechnlcal devices. These so-called apostles preach the re? Incarnation of the god Airol, and pretend to carry from him messages to the people, saying he has not been happy since he left them 200 years ago, coincident with the date of the Russian occupation of the country. They warn the Mongols to ab stain from wearing white or red clothing, these being the Russian national colors, and to wear only blue and yellow, the 'na tional colors of Japan; urge them to wor ship the sun and moon, which are rthe gods of Japan, and especially the overgod Burhan, which Is the only true god of "the gods. They also warn the Inhabitants to discard all agricultural Implements, and to keep their arms hidden In the moun tains and elsewhere. Many rich men of the Kalmuck tribe have taken up the propaganda, one of whom has sacrificed $3000 and another $280 in honor of the god. The seriousness of the situation lies in the fact that the tribes in which the re volt Is fostered inhabit both sides of the Trans-Siberian Railroad, and number many thousands of potential fanatics, and should any serious uprising becur, it might interfere materially with railroad communication. JAPAN MAY NOT PROTEST. Discussion Over Misuse of Flag af Telissu Not Likely to Avail. TOKIO, June' 18. The Japanese govern ment may decide not to make any formal protest through , France against the alleged violation of the Japanese flag at the battle of Telissu, on the ground of its uselessness. It Is believed that Russia will deny, whatever the fadts may be, creating a discussion which would only involve a waste of time. Herein lies one disadvantage of the Japanese plan to re strict military observers and press corre spondents, for the reason that no matter how flagrant the violations they may charge of the law of nations, they are unable to substantiate them without tho testimony of neutral witnesses. The Japanese people are intensely in censed at the Telissu Incident, and the press bitterly denounces the Russian army commanders. "While the Japanese Govern ment desires to wage war in the most humane way, it Is Improbable It can re strain Its men from violations in revenge for atrocities perpetrated by the enemy. (A dispatch from Tokio dated June 16, describing the fighting at Telissu on June 15, said the commanders had made spe cific charges that the Russians had vio lated the Japanese flag during the en gagement. They declared that during the fighting, a body ot Russian soldiers ap peared carrying a Japanese flag, and that the Japanese artillery, deceived by this flag, ceased firing upon that -particular body of Russians.) BODIES HORRIBLY MUTILATED Russian Correspondents Tell of Cruel ty of ths Japanese. ST. PETERSBURG, June lColonel Merchausky, commander of the Fourth Infantry Regiment, was taken prisoner by the Japanese at "Vafangow. The charge that the Japanese mutilated Russian wounded found in the bushes about the battlefield of Vafangow Unre pealed by Russian correspondents, Neml rovich Danchenko, .probably the best known of the Russian war correspond ents, says a hospital assistant In charge of three wounded soldiers having been driven off on the approach of some Jap anese cavalry, saw the latter mutilate the wounded men. Inflicting stabs and slashes. One body showed ES wounds on the head, the .face was cut open, the eyes were gouged out, the breasts were pierced and the knees were crushed by rifle butts. The skull of one man was crushed. M. Danchenko.declares that this horrible practice was indulged In by the Bashl Bazouks in the Turkish war, and says General Slmonoff, commander of the Sibe rian division of Cossack cavalry, drew up a stftteflKat in. ragax to the Japanese KUtHatloas. which was signed by the BritfefeL, .French and Spanish, military at tach.

Officers return ing here from Vafangow add the follow ing details -to those already given regard lag the battle of June 15: The Japanese had 100 guns to the Rus sians 60, and fired fully-1500 shells against 80Ojy the Russians. The first battery of the second "brigade suffered most, only one officer escaping. The Japanese artil lery, thee officers say, covered the ad vance of a mass of Infantry against the Russian center, regardless of the Red Cross flag, which .was flvlne at the rail way station where the Russian wounded i were being" attended. Many of the wounded, they assert, sustained further injuries.

The authorities apparently are sat isfied with the results of Stakelbergs mission, he having compelled the dis patch north of detachments of the Third Japanese army, "commanded by General Nodzu, delaying: tho siege to that extent, while at sea the raid of the Russian squadron has rendered the further transport ot troops from the Japanese mainland impossible.

A cablegram received at the State Department from Conaul-Gcneral Gummere at Tangier, in confirming the press report that the Sul tan had agreed to all of Raisuli's terms, adds the bandit requested that the money ransom. $55,000, be paid over today. Mr. Gummere expressed grave doubts as to advisability of making this payment be fore Perdicaris and "Varley were actually released, and safely returned to Tan gier. In his cablegram, tho Consul-General states that Raisuli's negotiator; returned to Tangier last night and Teported that the terms had been accepted and the money as well as the prisoners released by the Sultan today must be Immediately turned over to Ralsull at Taradant, where he Is now located, and the captives wW be released. Mr. Gummere and the British 2dinl3ter both objected to this plan, on the ground that they placed everything In Raisuli's hands and they had' no assurance that he would carry out his agreement ftifter he got hold of the money. Therefore they had sent a special courier to Ralsull, sug gesting that the exchange be effected through the. Sheriff; of "Wazan, who had a powerful influence over Ralsull.

HELSINGFOR, Finland, June IS. No disturbances have occurred In any part of Finland' as the result of -the assassination of Governor-General Bobrlkoff nor do the authorities believe :that there Is danger of any demonstratlorioi' sympathy with tho act of Schauma'nn. Tho 'conservative class of Finns depre cate the deed, not only because of its Im mediate effect upon them, but because it is calculated to alienate the sympathy of the outside world, which is essential for their campaign. Members of the Senate, who had insist ed that the responsibility of guarding- the Governor-General Inside the Senate cham ber should rest on their shoulders, pub licly condemn the act .Several Finnish Senators have already gone' to the Empe ror to- express their regret and" endeavor to prevent the adoption of harsh meas ures, which they fear would further alien ate, the Russians and Finns. Although Schaumann" left a letter saying he had' no accomplices and that he acted entirely on his own: Initiative, the authori ties firmly believe that a plot existed.
