8ALEM, Feb. 21. When the
Twenty-first Legislature died at
12 o'clock last night House bill
No. 187 died with it, and the great
timber graft proposition had
failed. After the expose in The
Journal had disclosed the real
objects of. the measure there was
no use 1n attempting to pass it
In Its original form. Therefore
Senator Booth, the particular ad
vocate of the bill, secured its re--referment,
claiming that he would
present amendments which would
destroy the evil effects It might
exert.
But here politics entered. Sen
ator Booth was one of the man
agers for Fulton in his boom for
Senator and so loyal was he in
this regard that he preferred to
leave the pet logging bill to be
burled alive by adjournment Of
the Legislature rather than bring
it up and have the measure
fought out on the floor of the
Senate to the detriment -of Ful
ton's candidacy. And so it came
to pass that the bill to declare
the non-navigable streams of
Oregon to be public highways for
the transportation of logs and to
make the many pay for the en
riching of the few who - were
planning to secure a monopoly
was still in the desk of the com
mittee on municipal corporations,
to which it had been referred,
when 'the end came. - ----

SEATTLE. Wash.. Feb. 21. The facts
of how local newspapers -secured so
many-positive and practically verbatim
stories of the deliberations of the King
County grand Jury have Just come to
light. It was through the venturesome
acts of two well known newspaper re
porters, Karl M. Anderson and C. B.
Vumlall.
Thetboys were caught dead to rights.
It was this way: In the courthouse over
the grand Jury room Is ur.,pd attic
never used. In some manner Anderson
and Tandall secured a key that led to
the attic stulrs. They removed two
planka from the flooring. A hole was
dug through the plastering and a two
Inch pipe was placed so it would be
directly over the desk of the secretary
of the grand jury, the witness stand
being directly at Its side. There they
could hear and see everything that was
going on In the grand jury room. Early
each morning before the jury convened
the reporters -went into the attic and
took their places at the hole. While one
reporter watched the other slipped far
ther up Into the attic where there was
good light and wrote his "copy." When
they were sure there was no one in the
courthouse lobby to see them come down
the reporters slipped out and left the
building. For nearly a week the two
daring newsgatherers kept up their work
and each day printed the actions of the
grand jury in detail.
A Surprise.
The Jury was dumbfounded when the
newspapers came out each day wUh full
stories of. their actions. Charges were
made by jurymen against each other as
being guilty oi giving away Jury secrets.
Two whole days were spent in trying to
run down the guilty parties. Then an
unfortunate fall of one of the reporters
in getting, out of the attic attracted the
attention of one or the grand jurymen.
He, looked up at the celling and there
saw the end of the pipe barely visible.
Deputy Sheriffs Nelson and Bowes were
sent bpstairs to Investigate. The torn
up planks sjid the pipe were found. Both
reporters were taken Into custody and
led to the office of Sheriff Cudlhee, where
the sheriff good-naturedly demanded an
explanation. Anderson and Yandall did
not propose to convict themselves and
refused to talk. They were released, but
yesterday 'were ordered before the grand
Jury. The Jurymen commanded the re
porters to-tell how they had gotten Into
the room and what they had seen and
heard. They refused to answer ques
tions, i ne law was reaa 10 tnem. pro
viding for six months' Imprisonment for
giving away grand jury Secrets and they
were threatened with punishment. Fore
man Plggott Anally came to the rescue
with the statement that he did not be
lieve the offense would be repeated if the
boys, were released.
Prosecuting Attorney Scott, against
whom such a fight was' made because of
his alleged whitewashing methods before
the Jury, yesterday appointed Herman
W. -.Craven as a deputy. Craven will be
partly jjsed In .directing the grand Jury,
although Scott still declares that he will
personally see what Is being don.

Nations Jealous of Each 0ther--The

If Europe Imagines that the Sultan Is

Turkey is not only rushing War prepa

time for hostilities, utid In better form
than any nation that is likely to be pit

i'urkey's defense as strong as possible.
Today orders were Issued for the re

Porte also ordered the Symra-Kasabe
Railroad to be In readiness at a mo

Europe Trembles.
LONDON. Feb. 21 All Europe is
trembling with expectancy over the sit
uation In the Balkans. Rebellion in
Macedonia Is assured; the powers have
sent a Joint note to the Sultan, demand-
ng In unmeasured terms reforms in au
'hrlstlan provinces ruled by the BicK
Man," and the Sultan has practically
treated the threats of the allies with
contempt.
In the opinion of trained and well-in
formed observers, there Is little doubt
hat the long delayed but Inevitable mr
of the Christian nations against tne
Turks Is about to begin.
What the eventuation will tie no man
can sav. Wltn tne muropean nations

Knuiund and Russia particularly, at
variance In policy In relation to the dls-
piwltion that may be made of the Sul-
an's domuhis If they are conquered, tne
ltuatlon Is not encouraging for the
peace of the world.
Looks Xdke Business.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 21.-Move-
ments of Russian troops during the last
few days give ground for the assertion
hat the Czar is preparing to take an
mportart part in the expected trouble
the Halknns. The Sultan has long
feared tne participation of Russia In any
concert of the powers In demanding re
forms and It Is thought the extraordi
nary preparations that are going on tn
Turkish dominions for war are caused
in great measure by the fear that the
Czar has at last determined to expel
the Turk from Europe.
If the present trouble should result in
war Russia Is prepared to get her full
share, and perhaps more, of the spoils
that will accrue to the western nations
of Europe tn the event of the Sultan's
defeat. Russia wants ports and terri
tory at strategic points and the armies
of the empire will be used as much for
that purpose as for the compelling of
protection for Christians.'

Charles W. Fulton has been elected t
United States Senator. The long strug- I
gle. one of the most memorable In the I
history of. the State of Oregon, came to 1
an end last night, ten minutes after the
stroke of midnight. Standing shoulder 1
to shoulder, as they had stood during the
long weeks of the legislative session,
the gallant band of Fulton's loyal sup
porters saw man after man swing into
line behind their chosen candidate, until
the tale was filled and the victory was
won.
The sensation of the closing hours of
the struggle was tho expected appear
ance of Harvey W. Scott as a candidate,
and It was heralded by the Multnomah
delegation with on enthusiasm which
seemed to bespeak a confidence that he
was to be the Legislature's choloe. But
this expectation was foredoomed to dis
appointment. Despite the alliance which
had been formed with Jonathan Bourne,
Scotfs chances of election depended
wholly upon causing? wTrtampede among
the followers of Fulton, and this did not
occur. They stood unmoved and unshak
en, determined if need be to go down to
defeat, but resolved to stand by their
leader to the end.
Bourne Could Sot Deliver.
The alliance with Bourn was the
crowning stroke in the effort to elect
Scott United States Senator. The Port
land editor had the pledge of the sup
port, at the outset, of the Multnomah
delegation, and Bourne was expected to
bring to him the 1 votes cast for Geer
by members from other parts of the
state. This would have brought Scott s
vote to 3 j. and then the program was to
stampede the Fulton forces and to carry
the Multnomah candidate to victory with
a rush.
But Bourne was unable to deliver the
goods. ' Only nine of the original Geer
votes went over to Scott, and these, with
I'.i from Multnomah and Paulsen of
Clackamas, made up the total Of 2U
which was high water mark for the
editor of The Oregonlan. The remaining
(Jeer votes stood by the ex-Governor, un
til, one by one, they went over to the
man from Astoria, whose victory was
already apparent. It was an extraordi
nary commentary upon the oft-repeated
declarations that Bourne controlled
votes enough to elect the candidate with
whom he should finally aUy himself, and
that the Fulton phalanxwould disinte
grate when Bourne uttered the fateful
word.
Would Hot Bend the Knee.
Harvey W. Scott was not the choice
of all the members of Multnomah, al
though the dissenting minority waived
tlielr personal preferences and agreed to
vote with the delegation for a time, rath
er than defeat the election of a man
from this county. For many weeks It
has been known that Nottingham and
Banks were Fulton men at heart, and
they steadfastly refused to bind them
selves to carry out the schemes of the
coterie of bosses who controlled the
majority or the delegation.
Uninfluenced by threats or persuasion,
firm in their determination to do all in
their power to effect the election of a
Senator, they led the final Ibreak to Ful
ton which made him Senator. Kay and
Hobson had already left Geer for the
Astorisn. but Nottingham and Banks
were the first to break tho bonds which
luld the Multnomah delegation and
which threatened to end the struggle
In a deadlock.
Stampede to Fulton.
Fisher and Jones of Multnomah were
among those who followed, and Croisan.
Hume, Hayden, Johnston, Mulkey and
Stelwer swung Into line. It was" exactly
seven minutes past 12 when Senator
Daly changed from Scott to Fulton, mak
ing the 16tu vote necessary to elect.
Every accession was greeted with the
wildest outbursts of cheers from the
Fulton .'forces and the Legislators re-
mbled a howling niob as they they
shouted and gesticulated for recognition.
A dozen, men were shouting to record
the transfer of their votes to the winning
candidate, -among them Paulsen of Clacks
amas, the only one of the Fulton phalanx
who deserted him during the long strug
gle, but the battle was already won and
President Brownell called upon the clerk
to announce the result.
The scenes that followed the declara
tlon that Charles W. Fulton had been
elected United States Senator beggar de
scription. Pandemonjum broke loose
and Fulton was lifted above the seeth
ing crowd by a score of eager arms and
carried to the platform.
Fulton's Heartfelt Words. " "
His-address to the Legislators and to
the throng which, had broken over all
barriers and poured In from the lobby 1
was marked by deep feeling and the vic
tor spoke with an earnestness that' held
his auditors In deep silence, Jn- well-
(ai
cshosen words, eloquent of sincerity and
emotion, lie thanked those to whom his
victory was due and especially "The lit
tle band of faithful men who had stood
by him through nil the contest"
The demonstrations which preceded
Fulton's speech left no doubt that of!
all the candidates for the coveted honoa
none other had so strong a hold upon
the affection and personal loyalty ot his
adherents.
Senator Fulton will arrive In Portland
this evening and will go to Astoria Mob
day, where an ovation awaits him. WedV
nesday he will leave for Washington ta
take his seat in the United States 8en

Tl, l. III.. 1 .. , 1 . . .
i.c uaitici in ciiuou aim it is yruper iv
inquire how it happened that In 'the,
choice of Oregon's Senator Multnomabj
County had virtually no part.
The delegation from this county is ths
largest and therefore should be the most
influenced In -the- Stat Legislature. Rep
resenting the richest and most populous
county in the state, its voice should havs
been a powerful factor in the final re
suit: The argument that the Senator
should have come from Multnomah
County finds many strong reasons to sup
port it and would under ordinary circum
stances command the attention of ths
Legislature.
Notwithstanding these factsr the Mult
nomah delegation, with the exception ot
a minority numerically inslgnifloant. had
no more voice In the election than s
many Chinamen. For weeks their vote
were frittered away upon so-called can
didates whose election was an absolute
impossibility. Assuming the position
that they would vete for no man from. '
any county but Multnomah and that ths
choice of United States Senator must be
dictated by themselves and not by tha
Legislature at large, they pursued a nils
or ruin policy that has ended In merltedJ
aereat.
The Bosses Were Besponslble.
For this result tin coterie of bossefg;
who at present dominate ReDUblican doI-
ltlcs in Portland is directly and solely
to blame. The notorious.. "Jack' Mat
thews and his associate , manipulators
are responsible for making Multnomah,-.
County the scoff of the state. When
the Matthews-Mttchell machine noral-i
nated and elected the puppets whom they
sent to the Legislature as the represent
tatlves or this county, it was with thej
purpose of dominating the senatorial
election and of insuring the choice eCl
some man who would be owned and Con
trolled by thorn, and who would lend hlsi
aid to their nefarious schemes.
Jack Matthews aspires to extend thej
neia 01 nts operations to state politics
and to establish himself with the na
tional Republican leaders at Washing
ton as the representative and exponentvJ
of the people of Oregon. His defeat la j
a crushing one. He has befooled the
men who relied upon his pretended pow-l
er. and he stands exposed as a political
mountebank, without even the ordinary
cleverness to avoid a trial of strength
which must end in his utter rout Therei
