TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, AUGUST 19, 1906. L i S CLANS STRIP FOR FIGHT Bitter Contest Between Bryan and Sullivan Factions at Peoria. MACHINE SURE OF VICTORY While Republicans Indorse Cannon, Who Will Be Absent, Democrats Will Struggle, but Rowdies Will Be Excluded. CHICAGO, Aug. 18. (Special.) Re publicans and Democrats begin their bi ennial pilgrimages to the state conven tions Monday with respective Meccas at Springfield and Peoria. Five state offi cers are to be nominated by each party, but the tickets this year are thrown into the shadow by the presence of more im portant features. A new alignment, that will bring near ly every faction in the state into the Deneen organization camp, an indorse ment of Senator Cullom In testimony of hia victory at the primaries, a possibility of a collision with the Cannon boom these things are expected to give the Republican, meeting Its greatest interest. With the Democrats there is the Bryan Sullivan controversy over the National Commltteemanshlp, which has engen dered bitterness enough to make the con vention exciting if not sensational. "Uncle Joe" Will Be Absent. Two familiar figures will be missing from the Springfield convention. For the first time In a decade, "Uncle Joe" Can non and Lieutenant-Governor Lawrence Y. Sherman will not attend the biennial reunion of the Republican party. The Speaker passed through Chicago today on his way to Washington. On account of his Presidential candidacy, delicacy prompted him to absent himself. Sher man, whose lank, lean figure has been a human exclamation point on many a convention floor. Is out West. Two con tests over places on the state ticket may bring a touch of contention into the Republican- gathering. Otherwise it will be orderly as a camp-meeting. Democrats Will Fight Fiercely. When Chairman Charles Beeschensteln calls the state Democracy to order in the Coliseum at Peoria Tuesday noon, the convention may possibly resolve It self into a gladiatorial contest. The Bryan-Sullivan feud will furnish the op portunity and, as to the spirit, the Dem ocrats are always willing. Reports re ceived at the headquarters here indicate that the present machine will have an overwhelming majority. The Bryan Indorsement Is not expected to be among the bones of contention, as the Sullivan organization will make no attempt to fight It, according to th$ lead ers. What disturbance may arise is ex pected to come from the Majority Rule League quarter In the shape of resolu tions inviting Roger C. Sullivan to bow to the edict of the Prophet of the Platte and to get off the National Committee. Rowdies Not Admitted. The controversy was slumbering nicely today, when Theodore Nelson, secretary of the Majority Rule League, rudely awoke It by Issuing an official "proclama tion." It decries the claim of the Sulli van men that they will have more than 1000 of the 1459 delegates. The proclama tion says the Sullivan claim is "Idiotic." Most of the delegates will assemble in Peoria Monday night, the Chicago delega tion of 493 leaving here at noon. This time, according to Boeschensteln, there will be none of the rowdies and riff-raff that gave color to the last convention. The butchers and prizefighters from the stockyards, the porch-climbers and ex convicts from the "Little Hell" district on the North Side the toughs from the West Side barrel houses, will all be miss ing. John F. O'Malley and others who brought along the army of the unem ployed two years ago volunteered to re peat this time, but their advances were rejected. Socialists Meet Tuesday. The Socialists will hold their state con vention at Brand's Hall In this city at 11 o'olock Tuesday morning. In accord ance with the custom of the party, no candidates are up, and it will be for the delegates to pick them, as no names were on the primary ballots.

LONDON, Aug. 18. (Special.) The new English management of the late Terkes great schema of railway elec trification in London now maintains that the American financier was all wrong In his calculation methods. One of the leading officials said today: "Mr. Yerkes believed electricity to be cheaper than steam, but this year's ex perience with the underground and dis trict lines that have been electrified has proved him to be wrong. Short eleo tiio trains are cheaper than steam, but when long trains are run the power required makes them more costly. We have long trains and, as the result of calculations, we are now obliged to raise the fare. We carry 60,000,000 pas sengers a year, but we cannot go on doing it at a yearly Iobs of J250.000. "Mr. Terkes believed that by eleo-, trlflcatlon we should double the traf fic The Increase does not turn out to be at all enormous, although It is con siderable. While the capacity of the line has been doubled by electricity, ws are now suffering through passengers taking advantage of the reduced fares, whloh were originally Intended for the working people." BISHOPS TRY TO AVERT STRIFE Will Take No Action Till Separation Law Is Effective. BORDEAUX, Aug. 18 Mgr. Lecot, the cardinal and archbishop of Bordeaux, made a statement yesterday, which may be taken as indicating the present atti tude of the French archbishops and bishops on the separation law. In this statement the cardinal says the bishops will take no action before December 8. on which date the separation law be comes operative, but will await action by the French government. Cardinal Lecot's statement Is construed as Indi cating that the bishops by maintaining a firm attitude and at the same time Btriving to allay among their people the feeling of hostility to the separation, hope to Induce the government to concede something rather than see the country plunged into religious strife. Flock of Blazing Storks. BERLIN, Aug IS.

TOO MUCH WORK REQUIRED Bookbinder Suspended for Standing by Union Rales, and Whole Force May Strike If Action oi" Official Is Sustained. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. Union book binders in the Government Printing-Office threatened a strike today on account of the action of Harry Ashion, acting fore man of binding. In suspending A. J. Tan ner, a. union binder, because he did not perform an extra amount of work pre scribed byshion, which union men de clare to be in excess of the maximum amount permitted under the regulations of the union. President J. Li. Feeney, of the Bookbinders' Union, gave notice that he would make an Issue of Tanner's sus pension and demand a conference with Publlo Printer StllUngs on Monday. Union men say Ashion set out to bring the Printing Office and the union regula tions Into conflict. Three years ago Ash ion caused the dismissal of W. A. Miller, assistant foreman of printing, the discus sion of which caused President Roosevelt Uto declare the Printing Office an open shop. There are about 2800 employes of the Government Printing Office, and It is said that 99 per cent of these are organized. WILL EXTEND ALASKA CABLE Government Business Requires Du plex System and Branch South. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. Commercial receipts from the Alaskan cable and tele graph lines amounted to 24,000 in July, which is $2000 in excess of the amount collected by the United etates In any pre vious month. The official dispatches sent during the month would have cost $12,000 had they been paid for at the commercial rates. This rapid increase in the demands upon the Alaskan cable and telegraph sys tem will be met by the Government by the duplexing of the- cables. The cableshlp Burnside, which Is to in stall the duplexing apparatus at the Alas kan end of the oable, will probably leave Seattle about September 15. It will carry 200 miles of new cable, which has just been shipped from New York for the ex tension of the cable service south of Ketchikan. This extension will be effect ed by tapping the line from Sitka to Ju neau at Cape Fanshaw. From that point a branch line will be extended down to Wrangel, then to Hadley, .on Prince of Wales' Island, and then to Ketchikan, which is only 60 miles, from Port Simp son, the English town which Is to be the terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail way. It Is believed that this additional 200 miles of cable will result in a great In crease In cable receipts, as the Federal system taps a country which is rich In mines and fisheries and already has many large canning factories, which stand greatly In need of daily communication with the United- States. In case the ca ble ship does not encounter bad weather, the line will probably be completed be fore November 1. Captain Henry W. Stamford, of the Signal Corps, will direct the laying of the new line. SMUGGLED THROUGH MEXICO Diseased Syrian Peddlers Enter America by Side Door. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. Discovery has been made by James R. Dunn, Immigra tion Inspector In charge at St. Louis, of a wholesale smuggling of Immigrants from Mexico into the United States. Every one of the immigrants was barred by the law from entering the United States because of trachoma, a contagious disease of the eyes. Officials of the Immigration Serv ice are now engaged In locating the im migrants .who were smuggled Into the country, with a view to their deportation. The case is interesting and extraordi nary. A party of 60 Syrians applied for passage to the United States at Naples, Italy. Every, one of them was found to be afflicted with trachoma, and the steam ship company refused to accept them for passage to this country. They were in formed that they could go to Mexico and then "work their way" into the United States. On their arrival in Mexico they scattered over the country for a while, but eventually reached the border near Laredo, Tex., and were smuggled aeross the river above that town. The smug glers received $12 a head. The Syrians were peddlers and began Immediately to ply their vocations In this country, going from place to place, thus becoming separated. Mr. Dunn located a Syrian in St. Louis named Shadle Jacob, who, he believed, was unlawfully in the country- When he examined Jacob, the man told a story about having been land ed at Philadelphia, but a little Investiga tion showed that that statement was un true. Confronted with the proof that he had not told the truth, Jacob broke down and told how he and his Syrian friends had been smuggled across the Mexican border. Jacob gave to Mr. "Dunn all of the names of the party he could remem ber, and officers of the Immigration Serv ice are now searching; for them. Jacob is being held for a time to assist In Iden tifying the other Syrians. MAT ABOLISH CONTRACT WORK Inquiry Promises to Reveal Immense ) Profits on Reclamation. WASHINGTON, Aug. . 18. (Special.) Recent failures of contractors on the Shoshone and other Irrigation plans, fol lowed by the Government's confiscation of their outfits, may lead to a complete reorganization of the methods of con ducting reclamation works. The Interior Department is making a thorough Inves tigation of the methods of various con tractors, which is said to promise some remarkable revelations. Great profits have been made by some contractors. The apparent Impossibility of getting work done by contract unless an Immense profit Is assured is causing officials to consider seriously the desir ability of quitting the whole contract system and doing the work directly, as the Panama Canal is being built Sultan to Recognize Lelshman.

DES MOINES, Ja., Aug. 18. (Special.) "Baptizing and renovating the Repub lican party of Iowa is of more impor tance than all the Congressmen com bined.. This is an off year, and with a Republican President who can veto all bad laws and who has enacted into laws all pressing legislation, the danger re sulting from the election of a few Demo cratic Congressmen at this time is re duced to a minimum. O Death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy vic tory? In resurrection there is a new and better life. So let it come, for there is nothing at stake except the oil inspec tors and Janitors." Means Bolt Against Cummins. This Is an excerpt from a circular let ter which has been addressed by C. W. Johnston, one of the managers of George Perkins, who was recently defeated for the Republican gubernatorial nomination by Governor CumminB, to "our Republi can friends.' By "friends" Is meant the men who rallied to Perkins support and opposed the revision sentiment which Cummins stood for before he accepted a humiliating compromise- In the shape of a "stand pat" tariff plank In the plat form. in other words, a movement is now on foot among the Republican opponents of Cummins to compass his defeat for re election and cause the election of Claude R. Porter of Canterville, the Democratio candidate.

"On behalf of the 'stand patters' we desire to recall some facts and conditions connected with the termination of the late Republican State Convention.

STILL HUNGRY TO BUY BOOM IS HARKIMAN STOCKS CON TINUES ON EXCHANGE. Prices Go Up by Jumps and London Brokers Growl at Being Left Id the Colo. NEW TORK, Aug. 18. Yesterday's wild scenes on the Stock- Exchango were repeated today. The galleries were filled with spectators attracted by the reports of yesterday's excitement and the electrifying effect of the announce ment of the devldends declared on Union Pacific and Southern Paciflo stocks. These two stocks continued to make sensational fluctuations. The whole market was affected in sympathy. Prices advanced buoyantly from 1 to 3 points on a buying demand such as had not been witnessed in the stock market since the bull period of April, 1901. Brokers apparently had or ders to buy unlimited amounts of Union Pacific and southern Pacific and blocks of thousands and even of tens of thou sands of shares were taken at the market at any prloe demanded by the sellers. Pennsylvania was second only to the Pacifies in activity and buoyancy. During the second hour Reading came into prominence and was rushed up over four points on an almost unlimit ed buying movement.

LONDON BROKERS GET LEFT British Journal Squeals Because Harriman Did Not Give Tip.' LONDON, Aug. 18. (Special.) The Harriman deal In Wall street has cre ated enormous Interest and not a little strong feeling here. Owing to the Stock Exchange being closed today as a holi day, there was no open professional market, but many operators came to London from the country to get the lat est news and advices from their New York agents as to their course of ac tion. The Westminster Gazette says: "Fortunately for the British specu lators, the mad excitement over the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific does not affect them in the same degree as the unscrupulous manner in which the Harriman interests cornered a large number of people in America. The coup has been beautifully brought off by those having inside knowledge, whose profits are calculated at $33,000,000. Though London escaped a heavy loss, It Is likely that European speculators generally have been badly hit. But the fact seems that this dividend policy Is another bold stroke of the sort for which American finance has an un pleasant notoriety." DIRECTORS EXPLAIN DELAY Tell Why Union, Paciflo Dividends Were Kept Secret. NEW YORK, Aug. 'l A statement was issued from the executive offices of the Union Paciflo Railroad Company today giving the details of the manner in which the Union and Southern Paciflo dividends were declared and made public The statement follows: "The board of directors of the Union Paciflo and Southern Pacific met Wednes day and authorized action upon dividends by the executive committees.'

Mr. Hellen, the aslstant secretary of the Union Pacific, said In addition that there had been criticism of the action of the committee In not announcing the div idend action after their meeting on Thursday. He eald that this would have given an advantage to the London stock market by giving it the first benefit of the news, and that it was considered fair to save this advantage for the New York stock market hy withholding the an nouncement until Friday morning.
