TOWNE AS TARGET
Mock Description of Political
Chariot Race Makes House
Roar With Laughter.
VICTIM ENJOYS THE JEST
Cock ran Takes Issue With the Wash.
Ington Man. and Is Jgnomini
ously Defeated in a Duel
With Words as Weapons.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 7. The two greatest political
gymnasts in Congress, Charley Towne
and Bourke Cockran, both of New York,
were amusingly described in the Housfe
of Representatives by Congressman Frank
Cushman in his last speech of the session
just closed.
Cushman was making a tariff speech, a
stand-pat speech, in fact, but he could
not confine himself to straight argument.
So he hit upon Towne ana Cockran as
targets, and his hot shots were highly
appreciated by an overheated House that
was longing to be amused. Cushman de
scribed Towne as a great humorist. "My
friend from New York," said he, "said
some things in the campaign of 1896 that
the entire American Nation has been
laughing at ever since. As a humorist,
my friend stands upon a lofty and lone
some pinnacle. When the gentleman made
his famous free-silver speech in this House
years and years ago, he compared the
circulating medium of the Nation with the
blood In the human body. That compari
son was most apt, but the gentleman
failed utterly to grasp the one main
point that made the comparison appro
priate. "A mere deposit .of blood in the human
body, or the fact tthat there Is blood in
the human body, never in and of Itself
maintained life, sustained health or
averted disease. A few days ago I stood
by the side of a bier (here Cushman
paused and the House laughed) no, Mr.
Chairman. It was not the kind of beer
that some gentlemen seem to have in
their minds. A few days ago I stood by
the side of a bier and looked down upftn
the cold and pulseless outline of a corpse.
Blood, but No Pump.
"There yet remained in that body every
ounce of blood that had circulated through
It in the days when he stood upright and
walked abroad among his peers; but he
was as dead as Julius Caesar. Yes, he
was as dead as the Democratic party.
(Laughter.) What that cadaver needed
was not a larger body nor more blood,
but an unimpaired physical organism to
pump through that body the Wood that
was already there. And what this Na
tion needed In 1896 was not more money,
but an unimpaired industrial organism
to pump through the body politic the
money that we already had.
"I am somewhat tempted in my discus
sion of the money question to display a
smalt chart. During his earlier days my
friend from New York. Mr. Towne. was
given to drawing charts. 1 remember
years and years ago, when that gentle
man with his magic chart in this cham
ber, harnessed together a bushel of wheat
and an ounce of silver, and attached that
splendid team to his political chariot, and
amidst the applause of the multitude
started round the political racecourse. Ah,
sir, what happened to Phaeton, of myth
ological fame, on the day that he drove
the chariot of the sun for his venerable
daddy, was not a circumstance to the
wreck and ruin that overtook my distin
guished friend in his chariot race.
Towne's Magnificent Team.
"Mr. Towne was driving a magnificent
span a bushel of wheat and an ounce of
sliver yoked together and squarely
abreast, and they made a splendid start.
The oratorical bleachers and the political
grandstand fairly went wild with ap
plause at the splendid getaway. But as
they neared the lirst quarter-post a few
old veterans of the track seemed to no
tice that something had gone wrong with
the harness. The nigh hoss seemed to be
shooting right out through the collar,
while the off critter was falling right
lmck through the breeching.
"It was an awful, situation. Nobody
but a hero could hope to cope with it.
Nobody but a political Ben Hur would
have dared to tackle it. But my friend
was equal to the situation. He deter
mined If he could not win that race driv
ing them abreast he would drive them
tandem. And. without an instant's pause
to unbuckle a strap or grease an axle. In
full view of the grandstand, without a
single change of scenery, and without ex
tra charge for the additional act, he
swumc the nigh hoss into the lead, and
they came down toward the last quarter
post at a gait that would have made Mes
sala's best pace look like 30 cents.
Catastrophe on the Stretch.
"1 regret to say that it was on the
home stretch that occurred the crowning
catastrophe. The nigh hoss. old Blue-
stem, an American thoroughbred, tore
clear loose from the harness and went
under the wire so fast that It took two
men to see her go by; but the off critter.
an old flea-bitten silver gray that never
was reliable In emergencies, tore right off
backward through the harness and start
ed back down the track In exactly the op
posite direction. Sir, I undertake to sav
that that was the greatest smash-up that
ever occurred on the political track In all
recorded history.
"Some men were unkind enough to sav
that Mark Hunna. who was then in
charge of that track, had willfully thrown
that race. But, sir, what became of the
youthful charioteer. Mr. Towne? When
that smash-up occurred he went straight
up Into the air so high that he has not
lit yet."
Cushman's description of the great char
lot race was frequently Interrupted bv
laughter, and at Its conclusion the roof of
the house fairly shook. No one enjoyed
It more than Towne himself.
Tilt With Bourke Cochran.
Bourke Cockran. however, did not take
Cushman's Jests as amicably. Cushman
accused Cockran of having voted on four
sides of the v ilson tariff law. Cockran
admitted voting on only three sides, and
a rather spirited controversy ensued. In
which Cushman admitted that he might
have been in error as to one vote.
"I have always had and now have a
profound admiration for my friend from
New York." said Cushman to Cockran.
"Indeed, sir, I have often wished that I
could only speak as well as he can. Sir,
If I could speak as well as he, I doubt
not that I would be just like he Is that
is. I wouldn't care what I said."
"I wish to felicitate the gentleman on
having beaten all record with his very
last performance." retorted Cockran.
"Now. the gentleman cannot put me In
the attitude of disliking him." went on
Cushman. "I refuse to do that. Indeed.
1 want to pay the gentleman a tribute.
My admiration of him was so great that
a few days ago I went to a near and dear
friend of his to make seme Inquiries re
garding the gentleman. And I said to
that friend of his:
" 'Is it possible that in all of those
equally masterful and misleading: ad-1
dresses which the gentleman pulls off I
upon this floor that he speaks entirely
without preparation absolutely extem
pore? Has the gentleman no thought of
what he is going to say when he starts
In to speak?'
"And this friend said to me: 'Mr. Cueh
man, I do not only assure you that he
has' no idea of what he Is going to say
when he rises to his feet, but, what is
more wonderful, he does not even know
what he has said when he sits down." "
The House gave way to its feelings at
this sally, for the House as a whole
agreed with Cushman.
SEPfTRY SHOT AT TRESPASSER
Question Arises of Jurisdiction Over
Officials on Reservation.
WASHINGTON, July 7. The War De
partment has now on hand another in
teresting case involving the jurisdiction of

WILLISSUE PERMITS
Agricultural Department to
Enforce Heyburn Bill.
BETTER FOR STOCKMEN
Allows shipments of Livestock to Be
Kept in Transit 36 Consecu
tive Hours by Special
Permission.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. July 7. The Heyburn SB-hour live
stock bill became a law June 29, when It
was signed by the President. Since that
time the Department of Agriculture,
which is charged with the administration
of the new statute, has made preparation
to issue permits to all shippers of live
stock who care to avail themselves of its
more liberal terms. The permits to make
shipments for periods longer than 28 hours
can only be made by authority of the Sec
retary of Agriculture, and those not ob
taining such permits will be required to
conform to the old law.
The Heyburn law. of course, applies
only to livestock shipped in cars that
have no facilities for feeding in transit,
and which are so crowded as to deprive
the stock of rest while on the rail. Stock
that is shipped In the more modern cars,
and which is regularly fed and watered
on the cars, Is not affected by this law.
The bill in its approved form prohibits
any railroad from transporting livestock
from one state to another for a period
longer than 28 consecutive hours without
unloading the same into properly
equipped pens for rest, feeding and water,
and It Is stipulated that these stopping
periods shall be at least five hours in du
ration. In case of storms or on account
of other unfavorable circumstances, ship
ments may be prolonged beyond the 28
hour period without authority from the
Department.
Time May Be Extended.
But upon written request of the owner
or person In custody of any particular
shipment the time of confinement on the
cars may be prolonged to 36 hours. The
time consumed in loading and unloading
shall not be considered, but the time dur
ing which stock may have been deprived
of rest, food and water on connecting
roads shall be included, it being the pur
pose of the act to prevent excessive con
finement. The law specifically states that it shall
not be required that sheep be unloaded in
the night time, but where the time ex
pires after dark, sheep may continue in
transit to a suitable place for unloading.
subject to the aforesaid 3-hour limita
tion.
Railroad Has Lien for Feed.
Under the law, animals when unloaded
must be properly fed and watered by the
owner or person having them in charge,
or, In case of his default, by the ratlroau,
at the expense of the owner or manager.
In this latter event the railroad comnacy
will have a Hen upon the animals, collect
able at their destination.
Any railroad company that violates the
provisions of this law will be subject t
fine of not less than 1100 nor more than
$500. such penalty to be recovered either

NEED OF FASTER CRUISERS
LESSON LEARNED BY RECENT
BRITISH MANEUVERS.
Type Will Carry Onlj a Few Heavy
Guns aud Have Larger
Coal Capacity.
LONDON, July 7. (Special.) It la
stated that the Admiralty has decided,
after the lesson at the recent maneu
vers, that there is need of more and
faster cruisers to protect British com
merce. The cruisers are decided to
have too smail a coal carrying capacity
and therefore useless when it becomes
necessary to send them on missions
requiring a large steaming radius. The
proposed new cruisers will carry only
a few heavy guns, but will be faster
than anything else afloat.

Shall Be Restored.
BERLIN. July 7. The efforts, official
and private, made to bring about better
relations between Germany and Great
Britain have had pronounced success.
Emperor William is active, outside of the
regular channels. In Impressing English
men with the fact that It is his purpose
to leave nothing undone on the German
side to restore agreeable relations. His
majesty met a British naval officer at a
yacht club dinner at Kiel recently, and
talked with him for half an hour on the
needlessness and harmfulness of bicker
ings between Great Britain and Germany,
and the determination on his part to pre
serve, not only peace, but to cultivate
good will and confidence.
The German Journalists who recently
visited England have since their return
filled the editorial pages of the most Im
portant newspapers with their observa
tions, showing the causelessnesa of any
ill feeling between the two countries, and
detailing a thousand arguments for peace
and the co-operation of German friend

A committee Is about to invite 50 British
editors to make a return visit to Germany.
The committee Includes the president of
the Prussian House of Lords, Prince von

DUBLIN TO HAVE EXHIBITION
Deputation of Irishmen Coming to
United States to Secure Relics.
LONDON, July 7. A deputation is pro
ceeding to America to obtain objects of
historical interest for the international
exhibition to be held at Dublin In 1S07.
Professor Thomas K. Teegan. principal
of the Central Training College, Dublin,
has already sailed for New York, and
Father Patrick Lally, of Galway, and Col

low. They will visit all the larger cities
to secure relics in the possession of fam
ilies of Irish descent, and also to obtain
for a special sub-section objects asso-
ciated with the Napoleonic era, held by
Americans.
While the exhibition Is being strongly
supported, opposition to It has been
aroused in seme quarters. TheTrlsh Na
tionalists are particularly opposed to it,
John E. Redmond, leader of the Irish
Parliamentary party in the House of
Commons, explaining that what Ireland
wanted at present was a national, and
not an international exhibition, as the
Irish industries are not in a sufficiently
developed state to be placed beside the
manufactures of other countries. Repre
sentations have been made to the State
Department at Washington not to sup
port the exhibition by encouraging people
to exhibit.

Lord Haddo.
London society was a bit stag
gered at first by" the announcement
that a marriage had been arranged
between Lord Haddo., eldest son and
heir of the Earl of Aberdeen, and
Mrs. Cockyane, a linen draper's
widow, heretofore unknown among
the fashionable elect, but recovered
its composure on learning that his
fiancee has lots of money. That is
a commodity with which the earl
dom of Aberdeen Is not abundantly
blessed.
Mrs. Cockyane married her first
husband in 1881, and she is almost
old enough to be the mother of
Lord Haddo, who is only 27 years of
age. She has a son who is 24. He
and Lord Haddo were at Baliol to

son proved far the better scholar

PARIS. July 7. In concluding his ar
gument before the Supreme Oourt today
in behalf of Alfred Dreyfus, Maltre Mor
nard announced that Dreyfus positively
refused to accept the damages which the
law accords a victim of judicial mistakes,
and asked solely for the restoration of his
honor as an officer, without any proceed
ings against the witnesses or author of

that the decision of the court would be

CZAR ASKS FOR
AID TO ESCAPE
Peace of Moscow and Empire
Threatened by 20,000
Striking Workmen
GRAND DUKES COWERING
Considering Formation of Cadet
Ministry, Which Would Make
Them Superior in Author
ity to Monarch.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 7. (Special.)
According to advices from Moscow, there
are now 20,000 workmen on strike in the
city, and conditions are hourly becoming
more threatening. All of the police and
soldiers on duty there have been notified
to use the strictest measures to prevent
crowds gathering in the streets and to
compel all persons who cannot show au
thority to keep off the streets after night
fall. The situation in the Caucasus is threat
ening, and a detachment of Cossacks,
armed with rapid-fire guns, has been dis
patched there on a special train.
At Isofka there have been a number of
pitched battles fought by Cossacks and
striking miners, in which the casualties
have been heavy dn both sides. It is as
serted in official circles in St. Petersburg
that the Grand Dukes are taking the most
gloomy view of the situation. All are said
to have sent tnelr valuables to Paris and
other European centers and to be ready to
flee the country at an hour's notice.
The rumor is again afloat that the. Czar
has asked that one of the power? sVnd a
warship to wait at a convenient point to
take on the royal family in case of a rev
olution and convey them to a place of
safety.
At Peterhof there is uninterrupted dis
turbance. The Czar is considering the
forming of a Cadet Ministry, but deems
this the gravest step taken since the time
of Peter the Great, because it would re
duce the authority of the monarch below
that of the President of France. There
fore, he insists that the cadets would be
his Ministers, not the Douma's. He de
mands also that they give proof of their
ability to pacify the country. The court
iers argue that the cadets are no longer
masters of the situation, since they are
declaring for amnesty and popular liber
ties and show au unwillingness to use
force. The cadets recognize they are los
ing ground, yet they are willing to sac
rifice themselves for the country and the
Czar. Nevertneless they want a free
hand. Emperor William's influence is
against the cadets, while the influence of
Great Britain, France and Italy is in their
favor. The Kaiser's suggestion that the
Czar meet him on a yachting excursion
has not yet been accepted.
ABOLISH DEATH PENALTY.
Russian Lower House Discusses
Restriction of Militarism.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 7. The bill
of the lower house of Parliament for
the abolition of the death penalty went
on the rocks today between the caucus
of the Centerists and the Council of
the Empire, a majority of which, was
opposed to its acceptance in its present
form. The substitution of a measure
abrogating the provision of the code
whereby civilians come under the jur
isdiction of the military courts "in a
state of exceptional security," a minor
fofm of martial law is the chronic
status of nine-tenths of Russia, will
solidify the parliamentary opposition
to the Ministry.
A considerable faction of the Cen
terists, particularly the industrial and
commercial representatives, desired the
taciturns to follow the lead of the
lower house and pass the bill un
changed, but the demand for the reten
tion of the death penalty came with
the greatest insistence from the repre
sentatives from the border districts
where the penalty is most in use Po
land, the Baltic provinces, and the Cau
casus, who feel themselves in the grip
of the Revolutionists and Terrorists
without the summary processes of mar
tial law. It was proposed virtually to
abolish the death penalty except where
circumstances justify the proclamation
of full martial law, such as armed up
rising, where the authorities are given
a free hand to summon drumhead
courts-martial and use the firing
squad.
This rejection of the first fruits of the
legislation of the lower house revived
the old demand for the abolition of the
Council of the Empire, as a wall be
tween the Emperor and the people.
Dr. Nichoiaieffsky, who wag elected a
member of the lower house from Kras
noyarsk, Siberia, has arrived here. He
openly flaunts the revolutionary colors.
In an interview today he avowed him
self an active member of the revolu
tionist organization. He said that just
before his departure he presided at a
great revolutionary meeting at Krasno
yarsk. Cavalry sent to disperse the
meeting joined the revolutionists in
parading throughout the town behind
the red flajg in place of the national
colors. The meeting demanded the
trial of Generals Rennenkampff, Milles
and Zakomelsky, who suppressed the
uprising along the Trans-Siberia Rail
road, as murderers. Dr. Nichoiaieffsky
said the Siberian peasantry was flatly
opposed to any further Immigration
from Russia and were in favor of a
broad policy of railroad construction.
Frequent offshoots from the Trans-Siberian
line are necessary to open up
the grain-producing country.
Officers Torture Prisoner.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 7. The news
papers today print an open letter from
the Lettish Royal Democratic League, of
Libau, in regard to the execution of Mak
hovsky. a revolutionist, who refused to
go to the scaffold, protesting his inno
cence. The guards took him so roughly
that they broke his wrists and crushed
his chest. The man died before he
reached the place of execution. The body,
nevertheless, was strung np.
The demand of Parliament for the re
tirement of the Goremykin Cabinet will
be backed by the Zemstvo Congress at
Its meeting in Moscow on Monday. The
programme drawn up by the central com
mittee favors the withdrawal by the
Zemstvo organizations of all measures
for famine relief, "so long as the present
Ministry remains In power." The com
mittee, however, recommends the con
tinued maintenance of soup kitchens and
free dining-rooms to relieve actual star
vation. Parliamentary data regarding the fam
ine shows that 127 counties in 28 prov
ince? are affected, that many crops are
complete failures and that In 88 eounties
the famine is in its second year.
The revolutionists of St. Petersburg are
organizing an executive organization,
which is expected to fill the gap caused
by .the arrest of the members of the
Workmen's Council during the last crisis.
Thirty-eight agitators arrested within the

AMERICAN IS PUT IN JAIL
IMPRISONED BY ORDER OF PRES
IDENT CABRERA.
Guatentalaa Forces to the Number of
30,000, Badly Equipped, Are Massed
on Salvadoreaa Frostier.
MEXICO CITY, July 7. News from
Guatemala says that President Ca
brera has imprisoned Edward Drum
mond, an American citizen.
Late arrivals from Guatemala con
firm the reports of stagnation of busi
ness and lack of men to'gather the cof
fee crop, while corn is not being plant
ed. The government has concentrated
an army of some 30,000 men, many of
them unarmed and badly clothed, near
the Salvadorean frontier.
General Toledo's camp of revolution
ists is near at hand, and he is drilling
his men and receiving recruitB from all
parts of the country.
Attempts to have the Government of
the United States adjust matters be
tween Salvador and Guatemala are
said by well-informed people to be due
to President Cabrera's realization that
without the moral support of the United
States he will be unable to much long
er prolong the struggle. Reports apart
from revolutionary sources, show his
position to be a most difficult one and
without the loyal support of his peo
ple, scores of the most prominent of
whom are in prison.
The revolutionists charge that
United States Minister Combes has not
fairly tepresented the true condition of
affairs to his government, nor kept it
informed as to the methods employed
by Cabrera, who, it is alleged, has
overridden constitutional decrees. It is
charged in Salvador that the Guate
malan forces have failed to respect the
territorial integrity of that country.

Abbey, but six months ago he was em
ployed In the same hotel with Sweeney

was living with her and he came to
call at the house. The woman says that
when she refused to see him he used
to sit on the step outside and watch
for her by the hour. She told Sweeney
how matters stood and a week after
the men quarreled and had a fight in
a tenderloin resort- At that time, ac
cording to the woman. Abbey threat
