The message Is the one sent to Sena tors at Washington, apparently for the purpose of defeating certain anti-trust legislation, and' which aroused such a storm in the national capital a few days ago. The telegram Is as follows: "We Ar Opposed." "NEW TORK. Feb. 6. 1903. Honor able M. S. Quay, Senate Chamber, Wash ington: Yesterday's letter received. We are unalterably opposed to all proposed so-calW trust bills, except the Elklns bill, already passed- by the Senate, pre venting railroad discrimination. Every thing else Is utterly futile and will re sult only In vexatious interference with the Industrial Interests of the country. 'The Nelson bill, as all others of llko character, will be only an engine for vexatious attacks against a few large corporations. It gives the right of fed eral Interference with the business of state corporations without giving any federal protection whatever. There is no popular demand for such a measure. If any bill Is passed it should apply to all Industrial partnerships and corpora tions engaged In Interstate business, and it should be made mandatory on all as to making reports of their business to the Commerce Department.

SALEM, Or., rb. la. OrgaaUed labor and It supporting nwpapr In thl state, TKB JOTTBITAI woa doilT vlotory la tb Sanat this morning. ' Senator May asked and waa granted unanlmon eonsen to withdraw Ballsy' Hon bill 147 and 148 front tb orap heap to which thay war yaatarday ralagated, and they were plaoad again In the hand of the jndlolarr oonunltte of the Senate. BrowneU's eight-hoar labor bill wa not mentioned, and it la understood It will not be favored by labor. When ooplea of The Journal reached Salem last night with the molnsiT announcement that the labor bUl had been murdered, much advers comment reanlted. Hot half the legislature had realised the exact natn of the action that wa takan and It remained for The Journal' expos to awaken the Senator to the fact of th case. The raault became apparent this morning. To Journal correspondent Senator Hay, a member of the Judiciary committee, aaidi r "X wa not present whan th notion on the labor bill wa taken. The eommitte ha been rushed and Z an persuaded th member did not realise the true Import of these measure. There la only on way to deal with them; they must be token back and placed in different form, for their intention la certainly right. Zt wae thai form that caused unfavorable report, so th committeemen tU me. Thl must and shall b looked Into." - - "Hon bill 147 prohibit th use of deception in obtaining workman and contain a provision against th ma of rinkrton guards in case of strike. Hon bill 148 guarantee th right of workman to belong to labor union. Th Journal 1 being warmly praiaed for bringing about a reconsideration of the bill. e Senator Sweek- made the following comment upon the Oregonian's state ments: "The assertion that the Democrats sought to defeat the bill Is absolutely false. We never held a chucus on the subject and I know the Governor never made the slightest opposition to it. As for Q.- Y. Harry, he came to me and asked me. to support the bill and Bald that he hoped It would pass, notwith standing the fact that It rendered him Ineligible for the ofllce of Labor Com missioner." Representative Uilyeu was equally em phatic. "The Oregonlun's statements are wholly untrue. Neither tiie Oover hor nor his secretary nor Mr. Harry ever asked me or suggested to me to oppose the bill." SALEM. Feb. 12. As was expected, this morning's issue of the Portland Newspaper Trust endeavors to fasten upon the Democrats the responsibility for the defeat of the bill creating the ofllce of Ijtbor Commissioner and has the audacity to assert that "Governor Chamberlain and his secretary, Mr. Oat ens, are understood to have inspired the Democrats" to oppose the measure. The statement is unwarranted and those who are In a position to knoW say -In emphatic terms that neither the Governor nor his secretary has .made the slightest effort to Incite opposition to the bill. The Oovernor In his mes sage advocated the enactment of such a law and has done, nothing to stultify htmaelf or to defeat tba pssssge of the bill. "The statement of the Oregontan is absolutely and unqualifiedly false," said Representative Galloway. "I never knew Harry until last even ing," said Burleigh, "ana neither "Tie nor anyone else asked me to oppose the bill." . ; These are three of the eight Demo-, crats who voted against the bllL G. Y. Harry, who Is said by the same paper to have opposed the bill, flatly de nies the charge, and saya that not with-, standing the fart that the Republican majority sought to make him Ineligible for the office of Labor Commissioner by. requiring a previous residence . of five . years In the state, he has done nothing to hinder the bill's passage. Republi cans already realise the folly of their course and will make a strenuous, ef-. fort to secure reconsideration of , yester day's vote and to paaa the bill.! .

SALEM, Ore., Feb. 12. Shall booze be permitted within the confines of 'the Lewis and Clarke Fair grounds and-shall the - pretty girls from Paris dance as only they can dance? Those two questions are up to the Senate Committee on Judiciary. " Shall the pleasures of the "Midway" be denied those who visit the Port land Fair of 1906? - - This proposition came fromvthe House In the form of Shelley's con-, current resolution, which had aJready; passed that body. Following an almost Interminable string of whereases it sets forth as the sense of the Legislature that tbe sale of liquor should be prohibited within the grounds of the Lewis and Clarke Fair and that the Midway should be dispensed with. There appeared to be ho disposition on the part of the Senators to render It necessary during the ' Fair to , continue the 'bllnd pig" methods of catching-and imprisoning the festive growler4" thaT "have been noticed elsewhere, and the matter was 'platted before "ine Judiciary committee. . ... f .Will the Terrible Turk and hi thousand jvjes , be eliminated from the show?

House yesterday ufterrmon of the bill I criTitlrie the oflk'f of Labor. Commis sioner was directly due to the cheap partisan politics practiced by the domi nant party In tly Legislatures The Democratic members voiced their protest by their votes and the bill failed by a single vote to pnss. There Is strong prospect that the vote will be recon sidered, and tho bill passed. In the course of tho debate, Representative -) BI1 yen mitde some scathing comments upon a recent suggestion by the Ore gonlan to the Legislature, which he de nounced as a piece of unparalleled ef frontery. House Bill 14. as originally framed, wrts In accordance with the expressed views of the labor organizations of tho state. It provided that the Labor Com missioner should l)e appointed In the first Instance by' the Legislature, but thereafter the ofllce was to be elective. The bill was referred to the Committee on Labor, and Representative Orton ap peared before the committee to urge tho merits of the bill and to present peti tions from organized labor asking that a Labor Commisslonr be appointed. - The Republican politicians in the Leg islature were In a quandary. They were resolved that they would not appoint O, T. Harry to the office for the reason that he Is a Democrat; At the same time, they did not dare-either to openly dis regard the demand of organized labor for his appointment, or to attempt to kill the bill. As a means of escaping from their dilemma they secured an amend ment of the bill In committee whereby the first Labor Commissioner would be appointed by the Oovernor, the Secre tary of State and the State Treasurer. It was expected that Governor Chamber lain would advocate the selection of Harry, but the other two officials, It til arguedf Would InlslPt upon n Republican. Th Bill Slashed. A number of other changes were made, all of tlieni being finally embodied in a substitute for the original bill. When this came up for consideration, some of the Democratic members, who were alive to the trickery that hud been resorted to, urged an amendment giving the Oov ernor alone the appointment of the first Labor Commissioner, but this was voted down by the Republican majority. When the bill came up for third read ing' yesterday afternoon, Burleigh of Wallowa declared hlmnrtr opposed to the bill for the reason that the appointment of the Labor Commissioner should not be taken from the Cuvtrnor. Still more emphatic protest was en tered by Uilyeu. who criticised a num ber Of the amendments made In commit tee and Said" there wan evidently some Ulterior motive In altering tho bjll.so radically. He alluded also to ther inser tion of the proviso Hint the Labor Com missioner shall have been A resident of the state for at least five years, an amendment which it Is well known was made for the sole purpose of making O. Y. Harry Ineligible for the office. Cheap Party Politic. ; In alluding to these manifest efforts and to party politics. Bilyeu said: "If once in 20 years it happens that a Democrat Is, elected Governor, for God's sake let him be Governor. Don't attempt, to strip him of all the prero gatives of his ofllce. Thl business of degrading legislation to party ends should be 8opped. Why, only yesterday the Oregonlan published an article advis ing the Republican member of the Leg islature to adjourn at the close of the session, to some future date, in order to prevent the possibility of the Gover nor; appointing some poor Democrat to Continued on Second Page.) Journal Special Service.) SALKM. Feb. 12. Some members of tbe Legislature have come to regard the I dally UHllot for United States Senator I as a species of opera bouffe performance, I and seem to regard themnelves as at I liberty to use their votps either for ad- vertlslng friends who are engaged In business, or for perpetrating Jokes upon ! their fellow members and their constit uents. ( Calloway of Yamhill, who has given his colleagues occasional reminders of I the fact that he is the youngest member or the House, gave way to his Jocular ! tendencies this morning nnd interrupted i roll call to make a speech, which led his bearers to expect lie was about to cast Ills vote for Fulton. After working up to a melodramlo peroration, he an nounced that he voted for . K. 8. Wood, the candidate for whom Galloway, in common with all the other Democratic members, lias been voting since the ses sion began. The ballot showed no changes among the leading candidates, the result being as follows: Fulton, :!4; Ceer. 15; Wood, 15- George. 13: Fenton. 3 ; "scattering. 3: -ubsent. 7 total. u. Huntley, who has been paired for two days with Hayden. declared the arrange ment at an end today and voted us be fore for Fulton. Senator Hunt voted for Ben Selling, the Portland clothier. Hume voted for D. J. Malarkey. and Mayor Williams received a solitary vote from Banks. Galloway Get runny. It was when Galloway's name was reached on the roll cell that he perpe trated his hoax. With an air of greot solemnity he asked to explain the vote he was to cast. After alluding to the length of .time that had already elapsed since the Senatorial balloting began, he said: "In these labors we have had the assistance of the men who assemble daily in the rotunda. There have been whispers of broken pledges, of secret intrigues, and of corrupting Influences at work, all of .v,i.ii mnv be necessary concoml- rfnts Ot tho election of a United States Senator, but to a slmpie-minoea ue mo t-rut from Yamhill they seem only damned foolishness.'-' After an apology for this language, which, he said, "An Irishman with rich blood in his neck" could not always avoid, he proceeded to declare that the action which he was about to take might not be approved by his own party, perhaps, not even by the majority in the Legislature. . but ho was determined to take the responsibility and do his duty. "My motive will be Impugned, per haps my character will be assailed, but I want to see a Senator elected here and now. Gentlemen, I have neither been persuaded, cajoled nor forced Into the course I am about to take." There was a hush of deep expectancy as Galloway concluded: "I here and now cast my vote for the Honorable C. K. 8. Wood." A burst of laughter rewarded the Yam hill humorist, and the balloting was resumed. Jones of Lincoln was again among the absentees today:' It Is said that when he returns he will vote for Ful ton. Hitherto his vote has been cast for IJInger Hermann. Fall Hew Boasted. SALKM, Feb. 12. The Journal's spe cial dispatch from Washington relative to the condition of Senator Mitchell, pub lished yesterday, was read by members of the Legislature with deep Interest. The reassuring news confirmed by pri vate dispatches was received by several members. For several days pessimistic reports published by the Portland newspaper trust have been regarded here witli dis trust, which was decidedly accentuated when the morning organ advanced the suggestion that as Mitchell could not live long, the Legislature should ad journ, when it does adjourn, to some fu ture date, so as to elect his successor and forestall the appointment of a Dem ocrat by tiie Governor. Representative Bilyeu struck a re sponsive chord when, in the debate yes terday over the labor commissioner bill, lie denounced as an exhibition of unpar alleled effrontery this attempt of the newspaper organ to Influence the Legis lature for partisan ends. Many members go still further and openly declare their belief that the sug gestion of the newspaper trust was made In the interest- of its proprietor, whose ambition to go to the Senate was suddenly revived by the possibility of a vacancy, and by the hope that he might step into a dead man's shoes.K Several Bill Pa.
