PORTLAND, OREGON; FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24. 1902. PRICE FIVE CENTS. SENATOR MITCHELL WILL 110PPORT FULTON AND BROWNELL. John H. Mitchell, Junlon United StatM Senator ; from Oregon and the most powerful man In the Re publican party of the etate, de olded Wedneeday night, finally and definitely, to support Charles, W. " Fiulton to succeed .Senator Joseph Simon. ' Mr. Mitchell alto decided to give his support. ' to George Brownell, SUte Senator .from Clatkamas County, for president of i the Oregon Senate. The announcement Is as Important a piece of political news as ever was gVren ut In tho state, so far as It affects state politics. It determines the position of the man who is held accountable far the wielding; of the major iafluenoe In Ore ' icon ' politics. Senator Mitchell will en deavor, so it ls assumed, ' to force the Multnomah County Republican'1' Legisla tive delegation to the support of the As toria man nd the man frpm Clackamas, against any candidate that may be decid ed upon by the local Republicans as cal culated to best serve the stats In the upper national bouse, and against Dr. Andrew C. Smith, of Portland, who has been regarded as the leading" candidate , for the State Senate presidency. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE. The conference at which this remark able decision was reached was held in the room of Senator Brownell at the Portland hotel, between the hours of 11 o'clock p. m. and 1 o'clock a. m., Wednesday eight At the conference were United States Senator Mitchell. Congressman- elect J. N. Williamson and State Senator George Brownell. . -:"A The next day State Senator Fulton ar rived, accompanied by Secretary of Stats F. I. Dunbar, end State Senator J. A. 7100th, of Lane, is also in the city and Ik Interested In the arrangement. ' It Is expected that a number of other promi nent state Republican politicians will ar rive in the city tonight. Tomorrow, Senator Mitchell leaves for Washington, to attend to his duties in Congress. He will remain away from Oregon until after the fight has ended. NOW, SOME SPECULATIONS. With these facts stated, and they re facts, come speculations by everybody who has heard of the arrangement, the number being rather limited, for the rea son that it was desired to keep the fact from the publlo until the Senator had left the state. The fact Is already known to the friends of H. W. Scott, and to some of the regu lar followers Of Mr. Mitchell, as well as to some of the faithful adherents of Mr. Simon. It has started an under-current of feellrte; that may yet swell out into a tidal ..wave, of whatT Strengthening of Fulton, or an Intensifying of the opposi tion to him? That's the question. Those who know the history of Oregon politics know these things: Mr. Mitchell is under obligations to Mr. Scott for what the latter did during the June election, both state and city. And It has been urged by the Scott people that Mr. Mitchell owes more to the astute editor than to any other man in the state. Then, too, Mr. Mitchell Is under obli gations to Mr. Fulton for promises made to the Astorlan when Mr. Mttcnell was elected to the Senate, and for years of devotion. And, for Sol Jilrsch, who ha kept free from all entagllng alliances and who has with remarkable statesmanship avoided the making of an enemy in Oregon,, while yet maintaining a strong position in the politics of the commonwealth, Mr. Mitch ell qwes a debt for lifelong friendship and favors that could have come from no oth er source. THAT REPUTED QUARREL. It has been said lately that there was a quarrel between Walter F. (Jack) Matthews, Republican chairman and United States Marshal for Oregon, and Senator Mitchell, over this very matter of the endorsement of a Senatorial candi date. Some who claim to know, assert that there is in reality no such quarrel, but that it has been a part of, a political game whereby the Mitchell forces could bo heid in a position to meet all con tingencies, Mr. Mitchell being loyal to Fulton, and yet desirous of having a friend In the opposition camp to look . out for his interests. It la claimed that anything that Matthews does will., be agreeable to the general plan olTMri Mitchell, and it is silly and cautiously hinted that it is the Intention to "hand a bunch" to Mr. Scott, on account of old ' scores. No one knows, but that la the assertion, anyway. NOW, ABOUT MULTNOMAH COUNTY. The next question that arises Is: What will Multnomah County do in the prem ise? Will the local delegation consent to a man from Astoria? In short, will the Fulton program go through without the fiercest fight that ever raged In Oregon? That is the problem that today will ab sorb attention here when this statement goes to the people, and throughout Ore gon, when it Veaches the outside counties. GRAY IS , LEADER At Head of the Strike Commission. IS NOW ORGANIZED The President Appoints Neill and Mosley to Assist in the Work. WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. Judge George Gray of Delaware, was elected president ef the special strike consideration com mission. WASHINGTON. Oct. 21 General Wil son was the first member of the Arbitra tion Commission to report at the' tem porary White House this morniner. He presented liimVeff at 10 o'clock and was (Immediately ushered into President Roosevelt's private study. Closely fol lowing W ilson came Spalding, accom panied by Rev. Stafford, pastor of St. Patrick's Catholic Church, whose guest he will be during his stay in Washington. These also went to the President's closet. Ten minutes later Parker, Watkins and Wright made their appearance and each of them was conducted Into the general conference room. Within a few minutes Grey arrived and Clark, the last member of the commission, reached the conference room before the hands of the clock had moved very much past 10. After the members of the commission had. ptrld their respects to President Roosevelt, they returned to the Cabinet ' Room, and there received their, official Instructions, which were written. The President was very brief. THE INSTRUCTIONS. The Instructions announced that the decision of the board hail been agreed to In adyance by both pnrt'es to the con troversy. It was the object of the com mission to re-establish friendly relations between the workmen and their employ ers on a Just and permanent basis. An other main poinrwaa to so arrange mat ters that " a recurrence of the present trouble would be remote and. If possible, not at all. Contained In the written In structions were the-published statements of the coal operators agreeing that they would 'abide by the decision and, also a letter from President Mitchell, of the Mine Workers' Union, containing the agreement from the opposite side. The President appointed Messrs. Mosley and Neill to assist Recorder Wright In keeping the minutes of the sessions. BEFORE THE CAMERAS. As soon as possible after receiving In structions the commissioners made their way to the office of Recorder Wright for the purpose of effecting organization. Their route to the rooms was before a lino of set cameras with, manipulators representing every newspaper and publi cation of prominence In the world. Sev eral London correspondents were on hand nnd there were American newspaper men galore. TWO NEW MEMBERS. The two assistant members of the com mission announced today are Charles Neill. vice-president of the Board of Charities for the District of Columbia, and Edward Mosleyt secretary of the In terstate Commerce- Commission. Both of these men were at the office of Recorder Wright when the other members of the commission arrived and at 11 o'clock the commission went Into executive session. The entire commission took luncheon with President Roosevelt. MEET AGAIN MONDAY. Just before noon the commission ad journed until Monday. Wright's office Is the place of the next session aad 1 o'clock in the afternoon the time. TJfe only point decided at the meeting today was that all formal meetings would be "puBlToT T2tegraiH were sent to- Mltcfr. ell and the operators, asking them- to be present Monday and make arrangements then as to the time and place for further sessions. " - ' ! The meeting Monday will be of a pri vate nature, but anything of importance that transpires will be given out by Wright at the end of the tsesslon. N decision has" as- yet been 'reached as to jVbather Mitchell and the operator will be heard In person In regard to their respective claims. President Roosevelt will be consulted regarding whether Wright will have a vote as a member of the commission. Judge dray, of Delaware, was chosen president of the commission. STILL LOCKED OUT. S HAZLETON, Oct. 24. The coal ope rators at the Market mmes today gave out the statement that they would not open their shafts until they were fully ready to do so. They would not be forced, they said, by anyone. It certainly looks like a loekouf. The local miners have held meetings and decided to con tinue the strike until such time as the operators withdraw the obnoxious agreements- which they are attempting to force the men to' sign. MITCHELL SILENT. WILKES BARRE, Oot 24. All miners who apply for positions here are being returned to work as rapidly as possible. Considerable more time than was at first thought will be required to put the mines in perfect working condition, but in the meantime everything possible is being done to alleviate the uffsrlng oc casioned by the. strike. When seen to day President Mitchell declined to pass comment on the lockout at the Markel mines in the Haxleton district. STILL RIOTING. mmiORK; Oct... 24. -through a dis agreement between the strikers- and. operators last night, wnlch was magnified by delay, things reached so bad a pass this morning that a strong guard was re quired to escort the few men who re turned to work this morning. BUT LITTLE CHANGE. T AM AQUA, Oct. 2. There is little change In the mining situation here to day. The men again reported for work but .were told, very curtly, that when they were needed they would be in formed. There is .still greater dissatisfac tion and many families are on short ra tions. The miners are coming to a rea lisation of the fact tluit they celebrated the declaration of peace too soon. CALL OFF TROOPS. HARRISBURG. Pa., Oct. 24.-An order was Issued today to return the troops as rapidly as possible from the strike scene. Morton means business. CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-In an Interview President Morton, of the International Stationary Engineers and Firemen, has given out the following: "It Is not the intention of the organiza tion of which I am the head to permit 'discrimination in the strike region of Pennsylvania. If the mine owners take back other, men they must also take the firemen and engineers. We are not to be treated unfairly. We want as good a show as any other branch of labor and It Is the intention of the union to see that we reoalved It The union was formed for the purpose of protection, and as long as I am at Its head It will exercise that function. We had no wish to Inter fere in anyway with negotiations to ward settlement of the general strike, but that strike was declared off and now It is time for us to take a hand. The fact that firemen are members of the Miners' Union does not forfeit their membership in their own organisation." There is a feeling at headquarters of the union that the miners hae not lived up to their obligations In settling with out reference to the firemen and engineers. NEGRO.

He went through the trap with an unfinished joke upon his lips and cared nothing that deatn was near. The crime for which Shield was hanged was committed last May, the victim be ing Mrs. Sarah Ghost Face, an Indian woman. The motive of the crime was the desire of the murderer to possess himself of the woman's"' 17-year-old daughter, of whom he was enamored. Mrs. Ghost Face and her daughter, JEml ly,' lived almost alone at an isolated spot on Little White .River on the northern border of the reservation, the husband and father having died some time ago. Walking Shield called at the house at t o'clock In the morning and awoke the inmates by tapping on the window. The mother arose and asked the unknown what was wanted. The reply of Walking Shield was that be was hungry and want ed to pass the remainder ot the night under their roof. The woman, true to the customary Indian hospitality, dressed herself, unlocked the door and had start ed to walk away when Walking Shield entered the room. Without giving the occupants of the little cabin the slightest warning he shot the mother twice sn the back with a double-barreled shotgun which he carried, scattering her brains about the room. Y.

Mr. Charles Lord, the attorney (or the) ' Law Enforcement League, stated this) morning: "We are waiting for the de cision In the slot machine case to be tried before Justice Reid in the morning... bo , . fore we take any further action. If a, ; conviction is not secured it looks as 1C the whole matter had better be propped. As it stands we have been laboring under great difficulty. The least we could x-' ' pect was the support of the church peo pie. They have made themselves known. , but not on the lines that their teachings would indicate.
