Mr. MuePM. Hon. J. N.

Later Oiey went aboard government steamer Electric and made a trip to the government Jetty at the mouth f the Columbia, afterward paying ll.tker bay and tfhe forte a fly- Init visit. Mr. Williamson waa very much Imprvaeid with the Improve ments at the mouth of the Columbia, and stated that although he waa In experienced In aueh ma It em that the improvement of the Jetty d'd not look to be a dinieult a task a he Imag Ined it would be from reading the pa per. From " bird's eye view" of the matter hn thought that U 'M on ly a question of dollar and cents, as the work awared to be a plain prob lem. It was a balmy day and he especial ly enjoyed the weather and scenery. ll spoke In glowing terms of the can neries and rll storage plant and the many other Industrie around As toria, ail rf.WMcti..ih.'fe.Vvr?ttiia' interested 'n. Tbe Eagle Military Band assembled In front of Republican headquarter! curly In the evening and rendered aome of thoir characteristic selection. which are alway good, and then, to- getber with the members of the Toung Men's Republican Club, escorted Mr. Vllllamion to Hah era' Opera Howie. Mayor Suprcnant, Chairman McCue, of Ihe Young Men'e Republican Club, and ,'udfic Mager, of Portland, occupied ets In the caj-rlage with Mr. Wil-' Uumxon. At flic nra house he waa greeted by a fivlr-slsed aud'ence, though not a lurgc un Audience an greeted Mr. Furnish and Mr. Pulton. air. McCue presided at the meeting nnd a soon tut the crowd had assem bled. Introduced Mr. Williamson t the audience Iti well chosen words. He paid Mr. Williamson a high tribute for having n. rv.d ihla conailtuetiia ao ably anJ devotelly In the atate leg!, luture and told the audience that he would now aerve the peoplo of Oroju alike 'n the national legislature. Mr. Williams, win wast very honrve and worn out by a hard cam paign, only Kpoke for a ahort time, but he niKike to ttie point, covering the principal liwueji Involved In tha preiieiu flectlivn. He dUl nut atovr elo qucnt, or give any fllghta of oratory but apoke In a moderate, convincing tone, and there were many commenta made on bis manly countenance and honorable way of handling Ma subject He made many frlcnda In AatnHa. Mr. Williamson paid a high tribute to Senator Fulton and aa'd they had clashed in the atate senate on the fish ing question, but Mr. Fulton had atood by bis eon'itltuoncy as Mr. William son h-.ul hi own, and that he had ad mired him for It. Tf Mr. Fulton had thrown down hU own peopln and vorad for the Interest of the people of .Mr Williamson'! district he could not "have retained their high renprct, and the people of Clataop would not have had any respect for Mr. Williamson toad he thrown down his people for them, Ho 'had simply performed h'a duty and he had no opology to offer for doing It. Speaking of leasing the publto do main, he said that was a question of the most vital Interest In his portion of the state as homeaeekers were pour ing In there from evrywhere and tak ing up homes. The Democrats were agreed with the Republicans on the leasing queatlon, as both parties had Inserted an anti-lease plank In their plntiforma, " At this particular time," he said. " when public landu are being taken and settled upon by the hundreds of thousanJa of acres yearly, It la certain ly too oon to twriii parceling it out In large tract sto indlv-ldusl ownora Any lean" la a step toward ownership, eonsequeiitly any kaw law would be a step toward threalng alt of our pub lic liinlit Into the hands of a few pu pie.

Huch a wystem wou'd b wrong In principle, vicious In practlcs and should be one of the last meas ures to find It war '"''i "'' federal statutes. ' The Democratic platform, as mat ter of form, or through force of habit, has again raised the tariff question, and after casting slurs, such as a breeder of trusts, suggests as a .rem edy " tariff for revenue." Since time out of mind the Democratic party has advanced either free trade or what Is still worse, tariff for revenue. The term tariff for revenue contain nothing specific; It Is altogether an indefinite term. Put In practloe. It might mean protection to the North and five trade for the South and Vice versa: it might mean protection to manufactured ar ticle and free trade In raw material BLUEJACKETS AND TRI-C0L0RS American and French Soldiers .

U ' ' ' , "NEWT" WILLIAMSON and vice versa. It la a term euacep rible of almost any construction, and as a Ureal policy would be very apt to land In whatever direction the po litical winds happen to blow It. Seat the Democratic party in power on a tariff for revenue basis, and the South being paramount In Its councils, It would be easy enough to discover rea son why the " revenue" should come principally from the North; seat the Republican party In powee on a tariff for revenue basis and H would be easy enough to discover reasons why the revenue should come from the South, and so on. in my judgment there has never been a more elusive or more danger ous fiscal policy advanced by either of the great parties in this government within the past 80 years than that one harmless looking phrase "tariff for revenue." Once firmly In the saddle and In my Judgment you will see his tory repeat Itscir In 100 days. Seat the Democratic party In power on tariff for revenue and In my opinion you will see the dismal days of 1S93 re-enacted with all of their gloomy acts and va riation." Touching upon the Philippine quea tlon, Mr. Williamson Is a thorough advocate of carrying out the policy as sumed by the Republican party. It would be cowardice and an outrage to (Continued on Page Four.) uiuoy PDE FOOT WEAR No Better in Town Every Pair Perfect Boston Hubbep Boots Buy your shoes find boots of n Practical Shoemaker S. A.

The ceremony of Unveiling occurred at the southwest corner of Lafayette square where in massive figure of tbe French general has been erected. After impressive Invocation bv Rev. Dr. Staftord(.

Countess De Roehambeau caught up .the cords of flags enveloping the tatue and the massive bronze emerg ed through folds of red. whtie and blue, and the same instant the boom of ar tillery salute came from the battery and attains of the French national hymn came from the Marine Band. It was an Inspiring moment, and. lod by President Roosevelt, the vast as semblage followed In cheering. The reception tonight of the ambas. sador and Mine.

STRIKES AND CATASTROPHES WILLIAM AND UNCLE 6AM. How the German Emperor Might Win Ua. LONDON. Hay Jt.-The Spectator today In a lengthy article on "How the German Emperor Might Win the United State," begins . by paying a tribute to Emperor 'William's capabili ties as a statesman, bat declares he has never arrived a a clear under standing of the American people. Probably In his heart of hearts," says the Spectator, "he believes that tbe future of the world belongs in equal parts to the United States and German world powers. Tet while he has striven to carry out a community of interest, he completely misjudges fhe American people.. The ,, visit of Prince Henry and the statue of Fred erick Hie Great are merely taken la America as signs o r onunary cour tesy. The American Republicans would be pleased to see the statue of all the kings of Europe ranged around the strains of 'Hail Columbia' But it will never ocur to them that the emperor laid them under any sort of obliga tions. If the emperor would only first learn to understand the American peo ple and theti would make the balance of the sacrifices required, he would be able to win their confidence and re spect. What will win that Is the carrying out and doing homage to certain Ideals, of which tlhe Americans believe themselves to be Che special guar dians. These are the Ideals of civil and rellgioua liberty, equality of all before the law, and of the abolition of special and splendid privileges. We do not doubt the American people would be carried away by a flood of enthusiasm for the emperor. He would seem to tnem to be the exponent of true, honest American Ideals." The Spectaor draws an analogv be tween Emperor William and the late Queen Victoria, who gained the con fidence of America without conscious or deliberate effort, but by respect for human rights, and concludes by ex pressing the opinion that when Em peror William asks the United States to forego anv nolnto nt it policy. like those connected with Monroeism." he may as well try to negotiate with the wind and waves. When it coms to treaties. It will be business and nothing but business." Danger Line Passed in Portland and Settled Down to a Freeze Out.
