"Washington, May 1C -When lion.

Suspicion of Bailey.
The corrcpondent says be does not
mean to say Bailey deserved the suspic
Ion, but (hat in the democratic confer
ences and caucuses in the senate, in the
conference Iictweeii Tilluian and Moody,
and through f 'handler with the Presi
dent, Bailey's acts gave rlo to the sus
picion that lie wax not true to the
principle of railroad rate IcgMation.
"Mr. Bailey may be innocent as an un

and then turns to hi dispatch to the
Tribune which he says provoked Bailey
to declare it a malicious lie nnd insinu
ates it was directly inspired by the
President himself, continuing:
EMPEROR STATES HE WILL

ST. PETERSBURG, May 10,-Despite
the fer that the reply to the speech
from the throne in the lower house of

diate conflict between the crown and

position to state that the emperor is
determined to avert a breach if possible.

MEET IN ASTORIA
State Medical Association Meets
Here Next Year.
CONVENTION OCCURS IN JULY
Plea of the Clatsop County Medical
Aisociation For State Association
to Meet In Astorian it
Granted.
Astoria will be the next meeting
place for the Oregon State Medical As
sociation. This was made known yes
terday when the plea o the Clatsop
County Medical Association that the
next convention be held here, was grant
ed by the members of the house of dele
gates, who made th choice yesterday
morning at the convention of the state
Association in Portland.
The date which was selected for the
next year's meeting is sometime during
the month of July. According to the
present plans so far outlined, one day's
scission will be in this city and then the
association will adjourn to Seaside for
the second day. The association mem
bers will pay their own expenses, and
will lie entertained only at the expense
of the association.
At yesterday's session of the state as
sociation at Portland I'lr. E. B. Pickle,
of Med ford was elected president of the
association, after a vevy close and ex
citing eontest. Dr. Pickle's nearest op
ponent was Dr. S. T. Linklater, of
Hillsboro, whom he defeated by only
four votes. The third candidate was
Irr. H. W. Byrd of Salem.
After his election Dr. Pickle took the
chair which has been occupied by Dr.
George F. Wilson, of Portland, for two
terms, the longest any president of
the association bus ever held office since
it was founded thirty-two years ago, Dr
Wilson received this honor because no
election was held last year. The ses
sion of the American National Medical
Association made one impossible.
The other) ofticers of the association
who hold office till a year from next
June, are: First vice-president, Dr. J.
A. Rueter, of The Dalles j second vice
president, Dr. II. M. Shaw of Ashland)
third vice-president. Dr. Emma Timms
of Portland: treasurer, Dr. Amelia M.
Zieglcr, of Portland; . secretary, Dr. L.
H. Hamilton, of Portland; delegate to
the national convention of medical as
sociations, Dr. H. W. Coer alternate.
Dr, George F. Wilson: councillors, Dr.
Andrew C. Smith, of Portland, and Dr.
W J. May, of Baker City.
At the meeting yesterday morning in
Portland a determined stand was made
by the association against so-called
"tout met physician." This unethical
practice of curing rons by contract,
they assert has Iteen in vogue for many
years. Certain hospital associations,
national in the scope of their practice,
sign contract, to care for people at 50
cent or some like small sum a month.
Beeaue they aert that this is detri
mental to the health of the community
and tends to bring fees, too low to live
on, the physicians intend to have auch
legislation enacted as will prevent it.
Similar" step have been taken in other
parts of the I'nited States.
The Medical A-sociation also indorsed
in amended form the resolutions calling
for national control of tuberculosis
cases, by providing sanitariums and lh
absolute isolation of persons .so affected
till they die or recover.
From their funds of $700 the Medical
Association appropriated $"00 to the aid
of the meuila-r of the profession in San
Francisco.

CORVALLIS, Ore.. May lO.-Over at

These five are the remnants of the
Holy Roller followers formerly camped
at the mouth of the Yahats. They are
Mrs. Frank Hurt and baby, Olive San
dell, of Seattle; Mrs. Burt Starr, of
Portland, and Mae Hurt and Attie Bray,
of Corvallis.
When Creffield fled from Waldport in
fear of his life, Farmer Hosford, on
whose land the Holy Rollers had camped,
ordered them off his premises. Frank
Hurt, who remained with them, moved
the camp several miles down the beach
near Heceta Head.
Leaving them to await the resurrec
tion of Creffield, he went to Seattle.
Since the apostle's death, relatives of
the women have been trying to persuade
them to return home, but for more than
a week such efforts have been without
avail. v
This morning, however, word has
reached here that they have broken
camp nnd are returning via Alsea to
Corvallis.
With Crcflield forever out of their
lives, it is believed by relatives that
Holy Rollerism will with them be a
thing of the past.
Boycotted .by the residents of the
surrounding country, who would neither
sell nor gie them anything, the five
women who were awaiting the return
of "Messiah" Creffield were in a fair
way to starve to death. Timber Cruiser
George Hodges, who found the women,
said today that Farmer Hosford almost
.refused to give him shelter because
Hodges had given his provisions to the
women.
The dwellers along the beach feared
an outbreak of Holy Rollerism among
.them more than the plague and would
'rather have let the unfortunates starve
than do anything to encourage the male
Rollers to return to that part of the
country.

WASHINGTON, May 18.-The recent !
efforts of the President and Democratic
senatorial leaders to reach an agreement
on the rate bill received further notice
in the senate today iivtu Seuator Bai
ley and Tillman. The matter was re
ferred to by the Texas senator in the
course of a personal examination called
out by an article in the Chicago Tribune

Denounces Author of Article.
In his address Bailey denounced the
article in question as a lie and the au
thor and inspirator of it as "Liars" when
Tillman concluded, Bailey again took
the floor and said his attention had been
called to another article printed in the
New York Tribune today. He said it
was of the same character as that mint
ed in the Chicago Tribune and evidently
they had been timed so as to bring both
to Washington simultaneously. Pointing
to the press galleVy Bailey said "I in
tend to put in the record, upon the
statement of more than one reputable
newspaper correspondent in that gallery
(and as a rule they are as honorable as
the senators on this floor), on their au
thority, that the two chief cuckoos of
this administration are correspondents
of the New York Tribune and the Chi
cago Tribune, and therefore it seems to
me conclusive that this slander proceed

Albany companies of militia were or

the honor of my country that it does not
proceed from the President himself. But
jf he be a man of high sense of honor he
will see to it that senators are not
slandered by his subordinates, and the
miserable wretch who communicated to
these newspapers and who sought
through them to communicate to the
country, slander on me, which the people
might discuss rather than the issue that
has been raised; he is unfit for the high
office, and the man who perpetrated that
infamy will pay for it with his position
and if the man continues to hold hia
office it is to be assumed that what he
Jiag done has been with the approval of
his chief."
Rate Bill Reported to Senate.
The consideraton of the rate bill in
the committee of the whole was con
cluded and the measure then reported to
the senate where there will be an op
portunity to review" and alter all the
amendments heretofore made. Practi
cally the entire day was devoted to the
consideration of the anti-pass amend
ment which was adopted after making
so many exceptions as to arouse laugh
ter in the senate every time a provision
was read. The work of the senate waa
confined to a partial consideration of
the pipe line provision which was so
amended as to strike out the proviso
extending its operation to other coun
tries where the United States had juris
diction. fronting the colony in its relations with
the United States. Sir William is the
first governor of New Foundland to
visit Canada during his tenure of office.
APPOINTMENTS CONFIRMED.

Kansas, register of the treasury.
The negroes are imported annually in
the spring for the extra work and they
generally refuse to join the union for
the short time they are here. The main
demand of the strikers is the recognition
of the union by the employment of
only its members. The strikers last
.night served notice on the non-union
