For several years past the Interna tional Typographical Union lias been a strong advocate of Government owner ship and operation of telegraph HneB. and the resolution Is in full accord with for mer stands taken by the organization. Its members at all times have deplored the fact that news service could be monopolized by a trust, and have opposed such action at every opportunity. They argue that It necessarily has a tend'tcy of limiting the number of newspuperf publlxhed throughout the country, and In this way works a hardship upon thowe of the craft who have not permanent situations. The Associated Press." said one of them this morning, "should be forced to make no discriminations. If the pub lisher of nny newspaper offers to pay for the service he should be entitled to It. It is dealing in a commodity that all should have acOss to upon the same footing. "The combine has conducted Its shame less and high-handed game sufficiently long, and It Is time to bring It to terms. The resolution yesterday passed with u hurrah, and the Pierce bill was warmly Indorsed." 52. - NEW PRESS ROOM FOR THE JOURNAL'S 1 BIG HOE MACHINE Quarters for the Paper's Plant Doubled in Space ill Be More Typesetting Machines Ordered -to Meet thfr Increasing Requirements of Portland's Most Enterprising Newspaper FULTON MERELY HOLDS HIS OWN But Gains Confidently Expected Daring the Week.

The developments in the Senatorial dontegt within the past week have been erxactly In line with the forecast pub lished in The Journal on Saturday. Jan uary 24. Up, to that time the highest number of votes that had been cast for Fulton was 32, and The Journal made the prediction that Senator Farrar of Marlon and Representative Hawkins of Polk would soon transfer their votes to tha Clatsop candidate. This prediction waa speedily realized. Both Farrar and Hawkins went over to Fulton during the last week. Kay of Marion was mentioned by The Journal as another Legislator who would eventually go to Fulton, and It may not b many days before this occurs. When Speaker Harris announced the standing committees of the House, the most Im portant of them all. Ways and Means, was given to Kay. The appointment caused much comment, for he was a pronounced adherent of Geer. and there waa no question that Harris was mak ing his selections with the object of assisting Fulton in the Senatorial light.

If so. the time for the change is not far distant - . Other Expected Bacrnlta. The Journal also mentioned Jones of Lincoln and Hayden of Benton as among those' members whom Fulton hoped to win to his standard. Predic tions were freely made about the Cap itol last Friday evening that JoneH would- go to Fulton on the following day, but an hour before the ballotlrig began the auhmincement was made that Jones had been unexpectedly called ' way, by Illness In his family. He was not present today, and his future course is therefore still a matter of conjecture.

(Journal Special 8ervlce.) SALEM. Feb. 2. There was much speculation in the Senate over the com mlttee In whose hands Senate Hill No 136 would be placed. The measure Is one to regulate the practice of osteop athy and there are several here laboring hard In the Interest of Its passage. The bill In being opposed by the physicians so osteopaths claim, and the battle was to prevent It being put before the med icai committee, in wnicn event it was alleged the measure would be. radlrally changed. A Mate Board of Osteopathy Exam iners, to consist of Ave members appoint ed by tne Governor, is provided for. iacn memoer or inn ooard must be a duly qualified graduate from some rec ognized school of osteopathy, and before this board each osteopath must puss an examination and from it he must obtain a license before he shall be considered competent to practice his calling In the atate or Oregon. It was over this clause that differences Of opinion arose. Members of the med ical profession believe the examining board should, at the very least. contaTn several regular physicians, advancing the theory that osteopathy is for the curing of ills and Is, therefore, medical. Osteopaths say they wish no medical members of the board, because it is not a claim of theirs that they have any knowledge of drugs, and they most posi tively assert and maintain that a man may have nil the drug knowledge on earth and not understand osteopathy. Therefore they profess to have discover ed that If physicians are allowed places on their board of examiners there will be medical questions Injected Into the examinations that will prevent- appli cants from passing. In this and many other states regular medical men and osteopaths have long been open professional enemies, and the present contest is one In which there must be a victory to one side or the other. ' An examination fee of $10 per appli cant Is charged those who would take out. state licenses, and , a fine of fmm without that license. The osteopaths claim at least tempor ary victory in having caused the meas ure to be placed before the committee on Judiciary. (Journal Speclnl Service.) IftpiANAPOLIS.

(Journal Special Service.) NEW ..YORK. Ftb. 2. 3. p. m. A Lon don special to an evening paper says that King Edward's Illness Is purely a diplomatic one. It seems that the Queen had demanded that certain .foung ladies with whom the King has been unduly friendly be withdrawn from the list of guests in vited to the Luke of Devonshire's re ception, where the King intended to go this evening. Rather than create a scandal, the King was conveniently taken with a sudden and violent Influenza. Operator Clos Cm. (Journal Speclnl Service.) PHILADELPHIA. Pa.. Feb. 2.

Feb. 2 King Edwards health, which has suddenly changed for the worse, has created much alarm In court and official circles. This morning It was announced by his majesty's secretary that the King had been compelled to cancel all visits on account of slcknesss. The royal physicians have issued a bulletin stating that the King is suffer ing from a feverish cold, but it is gen erally believed that the cause 1s a re turn of his majesty's former trouble. which almost resulted fatally ana neces sitated u postponement of the corona tion. The excitement caused by the an nouncement of t lie King's ill health was greatly Increased by the unheard of de moralized condition of the cabinet. This morning it became known that Premier Balfour, Lord Lansdowne and Earl Sel bourne, first lord of the admiralty, are all acutely 111.

TTre victory of the Sultan was com plete. The tribes that have heretofore fought with the pretender forsook him on being bribed by the Sultan and ho had left but a handful of troops. The pretender's camp was surprised anil rushed-ln the early morning. Al most the entire rebel army was slain or captured. A message from Fez. Just brought in by a runner, completely confirms the first report of the victory of the Sul tan's troops. Killed at Cannon' Mouth. Details of the battle show It to have been little less than a wholesale slaugh ter. The Sultan had eight Maxims, four Krupp guns of heavy calibre and other large ordnance. The troops of the pretender repeatedly rushed the guns and were mowed down like blades .of grass. They repeated their desperate charges until the force; was almost annihilated. The troops of the Sultan are pursuing the defeated followers of the pretender and have orders to exterminate all they can capture.
