Some who claim CONFERENCE AT METROPOLIS u i m nam, no such quarrel, but that It haa been a part of a political game whereby the Mitchell forte could be held In position to meet all contingencies Mr. Mitchell, being loyal to Fulton, and yet desirous of having a friend In the opposition camp to look out for hie Interests. It la claimed that anything that Matthews does will be agreeable to the general plan of Mr. Mitchell, and It la allly and cautiously hinted that It Is the Intention to "hand a bunch" to Mr. Scott, on account c old core. No one knowi. but that la the assertion, anyway. The next question that arises la What will Multnomah county do In the premises? Will the local delegation consent to a man from Astoria? Khort. will the Fulton program go through without the fiercest fight that ever raged In Oregon? That la the nroblem that today will absorb atten- tlon here when this statement goes to the people, and throughout Oregon when It reaches the outside counties.

Mitchell, junior Unit- cd Suites senator from Oregon and the moat powerful man In ;he republican party of the state decided Wednesday, Anally and definitely, to support Charles W. Fulton to succeed Henator Joseph Simon. Mr. Mitchell also decided to give his support to George Drowned, state senator from Clakcainas county, for presl- dent of the Oregon senate. The announcement Is as Important a piece of political newa as ever was alven out In the state, so far aa It affects state politics. It determines the position of the man who is held accountable for the wielding of major Influences In Oregon politics. Senator Mitchell will enneavor, so It is assum ed, to force (he Multnomah county re publican legislation delegation to the support of (he Astoria man and the man from Clackantis, against any candidate that may be decided upon by the local republicans as calculated to best serve the state In the upper national house, and against Ir. An drew C. Smith of Pocriand, who has been regarded as the leallng Candi da ti for the sta't senate presidency. The conference a which this re mnrknble decision -eaa reached was held In the room of Senator Urownell at the Portland hotel, between the hours of It o'clock p. m. and 1 o'clock a. in., Wednesday night. At the con ference were United States Senator Mitchell, Congressman-elect J. N. Wll llamson .m.l Btate Senator George Brown!!. The next day Senator Fulton arrlv ed, nceomiHinled by Secretary of State F. I. Dunbar and State Senator J. A. I'ooth ot Lane la also In the city and Is Interested In the arangement It Is expected lhat a number of other .iroiTiluent state republican politicians will arrive In the city tonight. Tomorrow, Senator Mitchell leaves for Washington to attend to his du ties In confess. He will remaln'.away from Oregon until after the fight is ended. With the.w facts stnted, and they are facts, come speculations by every body who has heard of the arrange- ment, the number being rather limit ed, for the reason that it was desired to keep the fact from the public un til the senator had left the state. Th tact Is already known to the friends of II. W. Scott, and to some of the regular followers of Mr. Mitch ell, as well as to some of the faithful adherents of Mr. Simon. It has start ed an under-current of feeling that may yet swell out Into a tidal wave of what? Strengthening Fuulton, or an Intensifying of the opposition to him? That's the question. Those who know the history ot Ore gon politics know these things. Mr. Mitchell Is under obllbatlnns to Mr. Scott for what the latter did dur ing the June election, both state and city. And It has been urged by the Scott people that Mr. Mitchell owos more to the astute editor than to any other man In the state. Then, too, Mr. Mitchell Is under ob- LONE DESPERADO HOLDS UP TRAIN Northern Pacific Passenger Ex press Robbed Near Drum mond, Montana.

BUTTE, Oct. 24.-One of the most daring train robberies In the history of the Northern Pacific railroad occurred early this morning three and one-half miles west of . Drummond, Montana As far as known but one man was en gaged in the robbery. That one man seen-.ed to be a host in himself for he killed one, cooped up the whole train crew and a tralnload of passengers, and kept three men at work obeying orders.' Engineer Dam OnelU was shot and killed when he grappled with the desparado, who had covered him with two revolvers. The robber made little by the des perate deed. A charge of dynamite failed to open the safe In the express car and the postal authorities state that the amount in the registered packages was small. The train had left Beat-mouth, and as the fireman turned to gather a scoopfull of coal he was startled to see a man standing on the coal, point ing two revolvers at his head. "Throw up your hands!" shouted the man, elevating bis voice to overcome the roar of the train. 'Throw up your hands and obey my orders and you wont get hurt." - : Then the robber commanded: "Go and put out that headlight, and mind you come back here." The fireman lost no time In obeying the order and was returning to the cab when he heard a shot and peered in just In .time to see Engineer OnelU falling backward out of the gangway to the ground. Just then steam was shut off and the brakes applied and the train came to a stop In Mulkey canyon. Engineer OnelU, it seems, grappled with the robber and tried to overpower him. The fireman Jumped to the ground and bid himself until what fol lowed was over. The robber went from the engine to the express car, and when the passen gers began poking their heads out of the car windows there followed a fusl- lade of shots, which speedily sent the frelghtened passengers back to the coaches. The robber pounded on the door of the express car, threatening to blow it open. The two men inside opened the door to find themselves facing two re- olvers. The robber tried to blow open the big safe with a light charge of dynamite. This failed, and 15 sticks of dynamite were placed In the next charge. The outer door of the safe was blown open and ' another hurge of 15 sticks was used. This hurge blew the express car to pieces. Clerk C. W. Otis refused to open the mail car door until threatened with dynamite. Once In the mall car the robber went to work on the registered mall pouches, which he forced the mail clerk to 'open. The packages wer handed to him, and with the ut most coolness the fellow took a seat and opened the first package and then another, using his gun to break them During all the time he was with the piiso iers he kept a running talk and joked with the crew over his poor success- in getting any valuable plunder He expressed his regrets at having been forced to kill the engineer, whom he characterised aa foolish for trying to resist. The robber declared: "If there Is anybody who wants to know who I am, tell 'em I'm the -fellow who held up the Southern Pacific out at Portland last fall." The robber is described as a small burn the question as to whether the constitutional amendment adopted at the last elaction for .he Initiative and rerefendum Is operative, without legis lative enactment. The attorney-general holds that It Is operative. The conclusion is that It to self-executing. He says the people. In the adoption of the Initiative and referendum, simply nwerve to themselves the power which they originally held, but had volun tarily ,-ested In legislative assemhly. TO MURDER EUROPEANS.
