Fulton Calls on Quartermaster-General

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, bee. 3. There Is considerable talk
In Washington about the probability of
the passage of an omnibus public build
ing bill at the short session of Congress.
"With a view to securing recognition for
Oregon, Senator Fulton today called on
Supervising Architect Taylor to as
certain what amounts the Treasury De
partment will recommend be appropriated
for Oregon. He was told that the de
partment will urge the appropriation of
$100,000 for the purchase of a site and
tho erection of a public building at Oregon
City, and $S5;00D for the erection of a
public building at Baker City, , on a site
heretofore purchased. If tho omnibus bill
Is framed, an effort will be made to
have these appropriations Incorporated.
Senator Fulton today called on Quartermaster-General
Humphrey to urge that
the transport Logan be sent to Portland
to convey the Nineteenth Infantry from
Vancouver Barracks to Manila and also
to urge that the Logan on tho return
trip bring to Portland the regiment that
Is to replace the Nineteenth.
The Quartermaster-General is inclined
to send the troops via San Francisco, but
has promised Senator Fulton to give fur
ther consideration to Portland's claims.
General Humphrey's principal objection
to sending the transport Logan to Port
land Is she draws 26 feet of water, and he
fears she may have difficulty in crossing
the bar. Senator Fulton replies to this
that the ship will not draw over 23 feet
when she sails with the regiment, and at
this draft will experience no trouble at
the mouth of the river.
DELEGATION MUST SOON AGREE
Otherwise Roosevelt Will Make tho
Washington Appointments.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec 3. The Washington delega
tion has several patronage wrangles on its
hands, which must be settled during the
Winter or the President will do as he has
done in other states, take the matter into
Jils own hands. Three important Post
offices are to bo filled. Postmaster Crom
well, at Tacoma, is seeking reappoint-4
rment. Unless the President intervenes,
"his fate Is altogether In Senator Foster's
hands, the other members of the delega
tion having signified a "willingness to let
him have fall sway in this appointment.
Senator Ankeny and Representative
Humphrey are Involved In a bitter con
test over the Seattle Postmastershlp,
Humphrey Indorsing Postmaster Stewart
for reappointment, and Ankeny insisting
upon the appointment of W. A. Carle.
Senator Foster is taking no hand in this
controversy, but unless the delegation

IS TRUTHFUL AND CONVINCING.
Wtn. Hennegher, No. Stratford, N. H., says:
I saffcrcd from Dyspepsia and Indigestion for three years and I am pleased to sa7 your
Bitters cured me. I feel like a new man."
Ira Dew, Covington, Va., says:
"I had Stomach trouble for years and was so weak and nervous I could hardly .sit up, but
thanks to your Bitters I am now entirely cured."
I THE GENUINE HAS OUR PRIVATE STAMP OVER NECK OF
eventually agrees, the President will as
sume the responsibility of, filling' this of-
flee.
At "Vancouver Representative Cushman
has crossed swords with Senator Ankeny,
Cushman making a flght for Dan Crowley
for Postmaster, while Ankeny demands
the place for C. G. Shaw.
Both Senators will be. expected to take a
hand In the recommendation of a sue
cessor to Surveyor-General Kingsbury,
who is a candidate for reappointment.
The only other candidate to appear so far
Is J. R. "Welty, who Is indorsed by Ankeny.
The terms of -all these .officials have long
since expired.
ALASKAN JUDGE IS NAMED.
R. A. Gunnison, of New York, Per
sonal Choice of Roosevelt.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,. Wash
ington, Dec 3. Again President Roose
velt has utterly -disregarded the recom
mendations of Senators and Representa
tives, and has appointed a man of Ills own
choice to a responsible office. Royal A.
Gunnison, of BInghamton, N. Y., was to
day appointed United States Judge for the
First Division In Alaska, to Bucceed Mel
ville G Brown, whose resignation has
been demanded. He was offered the place
by the President several days ago because
of Ills known fitness and high character.
Since the place was tendered to him he
has been Indorsed in highest terms by
representatives of the' Judiciary in New
York, and by President Schurman, of
Cornell University. The only political in
dorsement which Gunnison has Is that of
Representative Dwlght, of New York.
In selecting Gunnison, the President dis
regarded the representations of many
delegations. Oregon, for a whole year,
has been indorsing Judge W. C. Hale, of
Grant's Pass. The Wyoming, California,
North Dakota and Minnesota delegations
all had candidates with, strong Indorse
ments. There is hope that one of these
favorlties may be appointed to a Judge
ship later on. In case Judge Moore Is re
moved, or the ponding bill authorizing an
additional Judge in Alaska should pass.
There Is an understanding that Represent
ative Lacey, of Iowa, who blocked the
passage of this bill last session, has with
drawn his objection. If this be true, there
will probably be a new judicial district
created this Winter.
Mr. Gunnison graduated from the
law school of the Cornell University
in 1S96, and since that time has been
practicing Jaw In BInghamton. In 1898,
he was appointed referee in bankrupt
cy for the district In which BIngham
ton is situated, and in that position es
tablished an enviable reputation for
Industry, ability and a thorough understanding-
of the bankruptcy law. He
was afterward appointed by the faculty
of the Cornell University law school as
a non-resident lecturer on the subject
of bankruptcy.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Dec 3. Secretary Hitchcock, after
consultation with the President, has de
cided to take no notice whatever of tho
letter sent him by General W. H. Odell, of
Salem, under date of November 10, in
which the Secretary is upbraided and ac
cused of robbing the State of Oregon of
over $120,000 by reason of unjustifiable

coveries made by the court will be to
bring the ballot box of every precinct
where contempt Is charged Into court for
examination. There are six more pre

lar to that against those already bound
over. It Is understood that when "tho ap

v
Thousands of Men and Women Have Kidney
Trouble and Never Susoect It.
To Prove What ihe Great Kidney Remedy, Swamp-Root, Will
Do for YOU, Every Reader of The Oregonlan May Have
a Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely Free by Mall.
It used to be considered that only urin
ary and bladder troubles were to be traced
to the kidneys, but now modern science
proves that nearly all diseases have their
beginning in the disorder of these most
Important organs.

or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected, and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or "feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy. Dr. Kil
mer's Swamp-Ropt, because as soon as
your kidneys begin to get better they will
help all the other organs to health. A
trial will convince anyone.
I cheerfully recommend and indorse the
Great Remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
for kidney trouble and bad liver. I have
used It and "derived great benefit from It.
I believe It has cured me entirely of kld-
ncy -and liver trouble, from which I suffer
ed terribly. Most gratefully yours,
A. R. REYNOLDS, Chief of Police,
Columbus, Ga.
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re
sponsible for many kinds of diseases, and
if permitted to continue much suffering
and fatal results are sure to follow. Kid
ney trouble Irritates the nerves, makes
you dizzy, restless, sleepless and Irritable.
Makes you pass water often during the
day and obliges you to get up many times

rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the blad
der, pain or dull ache In tho back, joints
and muscles; make your head ache and
back ache, cause indigestion, stomach and
liver trouble; you get a sallow, yellow

rising about four ounces, place It in a
glass or bottle and let it stand 24 hours.

perity is due to the white supremacy.
He advocates the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment to the United States Consti

be done the. people of the 'South will be
forced to maintain their proposition of
white supremacy.
Rather than have negro rule. Senator
Bacon is willing to accept a reduction of
Southern representation in the Congress
or uie unuea aiaies. xie uuas:
xno repeal or tne nneenin amena

ODELL PROMISED TO KEEP OUT
Piatt Says if He Can Defeat Depew It
Is Time to Hang Up the Fiddle.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. "I know of
only one reason why Governor Odell
should not control the Legislature and
tho election of a Senator to succeed
Depew, and that Is that Odell promised
positively, ten days before election, to
Depew and myself, that he would not
interfere."
The foregoing statement was made
by Senator Thomas C. Piatt, of New
York, today, to newspapor men who
called on him in his apartments at tho
new Wllliard Hotel.
Senator Piatt was asked If anything'
new had transpired In regard to the
Senatorship, and he replied there had
been nothing of consequence, that he
was sure Senator Depew would be re
elected. "Everybody knows what I think
about it," be said.
When his attention was called to a
published 'Interview with Representa

nor Odell would control the Legisla
ture and that ex-Governor Black would
be elected, the Senator made the state
ment quoted. Continuing he said:
"I think there are enough conserva
tives in New York to recognize that
Depew has been a model Senator and
insist upon his return. If Odell' and his
machinery can defeat Depew at this
time I think it is about time for us to
hang up the fiddle."
In a later intorview Mr. Gruber said:

him. Thore.isnp need for Black to

OVATION TO BLANCHE BATES
Actress Is Overwhelmed With Flowers
and Congratulatory Messages.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 3.-(Special.)-MIsa
Blanche Bates, the Belasco star, received
743 congratulatory telegrams, was stormed
with flowers, and shed tears of Joy at the
completion of her phenomenal St. Louis
run of 150 performances at the Imperial
Theater tonight, with the presentation of
a triple bill, including the third act of
"Tho Darling of the Gods," "Madame
Butterfly" and the comedietta, "My
Aunt's Advice." When the complete box
office statement of the engagement was
added up. It was found that Miss Bates,
during her entire engagement here, has
played to 5182,604.75.
The messages came from almost every

from the parquet and boxes of the thea-
STARYED TO DEATH.
Our text today is the story of the miser
who taught his ass to live on straw, of
which he gave him a smaller portion every
day.
Just aa the miser had got him so trained
as to eat one straw a day the poor ass
died.
He is an ass who starves himself to
death as thousands are doing, misled by
foolish teachers because their stomachs
have become too weak, through neglect
or disease, to Jo the work which Nature
has provided for their stomachs to do.
Because the engine is out of gear, would
you consign it to the Junk heap?
Why, no! Mend it!
Commit slow suicide because your diges
tive organs leak?
Certainly not! Take Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
One thing Is sure as shooting.
You can never get a new stomach.
You must mend It, or It will lead you a
miserable existence.
The only way to mend It is to take Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets.-
This lia3 been practically and scien
tifically demonstrated by the many thou
sands whom Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have positively cured, after every othei
treatment of medicine, mineral waters,
pills and slow, suicidal starvation, had
failed.
These methods are all unscientific
therefore false.
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets are scientific
therefore true, and successful.
Having cured so many thousands many
of whom doubtless have suffered more
than you do do we claim too much when
we say that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will surely do good to you?
Surely not.
Especially when wo make it plain that
no promise is made to cure more than one
disease Dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a positive
cure for just this one disease.
They are a pcientlfic combination of in
gredients which rearch out the weak spots
in all the digestive organs and make them
strong and well.
They have an immediate digestive action
on -undigested food, and thus, while curing
weak organs, they at the same time help
them to do their work.
They thus stand for all that Is good in
the medical treatment of dyspepsia, and
for nothing that Is bad.
They are not a fad but a fact.
They are safe, pleasant, certain and per
manent, and can be taken by the most
delicate invalids without fear of harmful
results.
