PORTLAND, OBEGON. WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25. 1903. PRICE FIVE CENTS. ft. VARWICK PERPLEXED Kingmaker of the Tall Tower in a Very ; Bad Way. GUERRILLA OR NOTHING H. W. Scott Has Hardly Any Other Course Open as His Senatorial Am bitions Hinder An Alliance With Either Simon or Mitchell. These b troublous days for the would-be king-maker who dwells In the tall tower of the Oregonian building-. Pay by day Harvey W. Scott la 4sklng. with Increased perplexity, where he Is "at," and the solution of the question growna constantly more difficult. The cause of his disquiet Is the approaching political campaign, and the necessity of determining upon the course which he Is to pursue. A year ago, Scott was an active champion of the Mitchell wing of the Republican party, and the problem that Is now keeping him awake o' nights Is whether he shall stay with that fac tlon or desert to the Simon organisation. To flop or not to flop, that la the ques tion. Under ordinary circumstances there would be no particular difficulty in de ciding a matter of this kind. Political treachery has become a second nature with the Oregon Ian. It has played fast nd loose with both factions of the Re publican party and with every promi nent politician in the state. At times it has been the silent partner and open abettor of the corrupt political ring which formerly dominated Multnomah county, and again It has sanctimoniously proclaimed itself the champion of re from.'. The one controlling consideration which has always governed the Oregon lan's course has been the self interest of the editor. The same consideration will decide the paper's attitude In the ap p roach Ing political struggle but the em barrassing thing which Mr. Scott-must now determine Is whether it will be bet ter for him to ally himself with Mitchell or with Simon. Neither Mots Satisfactory. Either horn of the dilemma is dls tressingly uncomfortable. If he ties, up with Mitchell, he must forgo the satis faction of some grudges arising from the last senatorial contest which he Is ex ceedingly anxious to settle. If he elects to support the Simon faction, bow can he induce the public to forget the bitter at tacks which he made upon .Senator Simon In the last local campaign, and even so recently as last spring? I neon slstency, in Itself, has no terrors for the Oregonian s editor, but In this Instance he is fearful that it might endanger hit one great ambition, to become United States senator. Scott knows that so long as Mitchell is alive the Mitchell machine will not sist him to break into the senate. That lesson was Impressed upon the editor's mind at the last session of the leglsla ture. The memory of the gold brick which was handed to him then by Mitchell's lieutenant, "Jack" Matthews, still rankles, and the irritation has been Intensified by some recent happenings. The knowledge that W. W. Banks, whose bold defiance of the Oregonian was one of the sensations of the closing hours of the last legislature, is to be appointed deputy United States district attorney, is peculiarly galling. The recent open letter frOm Senator Mitchell, In which he Justly charged the Oregonian with studied misrepresentation of his acts, aroused the editor's choler still further. And the marked consideration that has been shown by Mitchell and Pulton to George C. Brownell, the one man of all others" in the last legislature who was marked for Scott's vengeance, Is enough in itself to render peaceable relations al most Impossible. ' ,4 - Drawbacks to Alliances.

COLUMBIA RIVER BAR GOING-INTO HISTORY . , . . , (Journal Special Berries.) Astoria. Or., Nov. 25. Seven hundred and thirty-three tons of sand raised from the bottom of the lower harbor between buoys No. S and 7 was the highly suc cessful record of the big new dredger Chinook yesterday afternoon. It was high tide when the work was done and the markings surprised everybody who knows the .conditions of the harbor and the currents. To say that local shipping men are Jubilant-over the advent of the Chinook is expressing their feelings lightly. Not alone local shippers and mariners, but the interest of all Oregon. is expressed by the .many 'Inquiries-received dally at this port from persons of-promlnence In terested in' the growth of ' the great state.

I i, As demonstrated by the dredger yes terday; 35 tons of obstructing mud and dirt were pumped Into her bins per mln-a ute. Then a run to sea, where the first load of nearly 490 tons was discharged In four minutes. Today the work of dredging along the soutn channel was continued. This Is the most narrow section of the bar and the place of trial yesterday. The ob struction here la a trifle over a mile wide, and the real crest of the bar is three furlongs in width. It is estimated that it will require the Chinook 40 minutes to dredge across the bar, dump the load and return. Five trips, can be made with each tide, and ln-this-tlme 10,000 tons of dirt can be tnrown rar to sea. At this rate, with fa vorable weather, only a few weeks will be. required to make, a marked lmpres sien on ' the obnoxious bar. .Everybody seems elated over, the fwt that- soon- the hazardous Columbia river Dar will- be remembered only in history. After-thls valuable work Is accomplished improvements will be rapid at the head navigation."' - .

But the fact that neither Mitchell nor Simon would have any real desire for an alliance with Scott, were it not for the fear of attacks by his paper.

A fair working majority of the senate and house gathered about the hospitable board of Senator Mitchell last evening nd voted unanimously to support his measure appropriating funds to carry on ,the proposed Lewis and Clark exposition. Thw banquet, which was given by Mitchell In honor of his colleague, Sen ator Fulton, was one of tlie most suc cessful dinners In the' history of Wash ington social events. An elaborate menu occupied the attention of 60 guests for over four hours, until coffee and cigars paved the way for speeches. n addition to terrapin and other east ern delicacies, the menu afforded the opportunity to test Oregon products, as Columbia river salmon and Oregon can- as back ducks were pieces de resist ance. The toasts which were proposed by Senator Mitchell were entirely Informal. In Introducing Senator Fulton as the guest of honor. Senator Mitchell said he had the confidence and esteem of the en tire people of his state. He reviewed the famous senatorial struggle of 1901 and the part Mr. Fulton took In it as president of the Joint meeting of the leg islature, which closed the contest. Senator Fulton responded in a clever speech, which placed him in the ranks of witty after-dinner speakers of the capital. Bympatky and Oood WUL Senator Jonathan P. Dolllver of Iowa recalled his visit of last summer to Oregon, a state which he said had given more to the union and received less in return than any other state. The sym pathy and good will of the entire coun try, said he, will be with the North west In the efforts she will make to have a great exposition, and I bespeak co-operation, ana support or my col leagues in oongress. Congressman Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohio said he had traveled all over the Pacific slope and had never found such energy and enterprise In any other part of the country. He favored all expos! tlons and recalled the appropriation of $600,000 for one at Toledo, which was not held, because the Ohio legislature failed to comply with conditions sur rounding the appropriation. "This 1600, 000," said Grosvenor, "Is to the credit of Oregon and as much more as Oregon people want. Senator Thomas M. Patterson of Colo rado spoke of his visit last summer to the Northwest and to Alaska. He said he was sorry after what he saw that the people did not stand for the old shib boleth of "flfty-four-forty-or-flght." He said Lewis and Clark were pioneers in Colorado as well as In Oregon, and he would work and vote for the fair ap propriation, and every senator present. he was sure, was for the old flag and the appropriation for the Lewis and Clark exposition. Senator Nathan B. Scott of West Vir ginia said he had mhacked bulls over part of Lewis and Clark's trail In 1S59 and was for the appropriation regardless of Mitchell's dinner. Chanced His Tow. Representative Joseph C. Sibley of Pennsylvania said he had registered a , solemn vow to vote against all exposlr tlon appropriations, but would rescind his resolution and support the Oregon delegation to the last ditch. Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota drew a witty contrast between the hard ships of early explorers who had no mileage, palace cars or banquets and senators who enjoy all these luxuries. He said he would support the exposition because It will aid in opening up to the entire country the Oriental and Alaskan trade. Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho said the Lewis and Clark exposition would be made a party question and regardless of what Republicans might do, he pledged the support of the Democratic party for the proposed exposition, benefits of which would to make the people ac quainted with the best part of the coun try. Senator Henry C. Hansbrough of North Dakota spoke of thereataohleve ment of Marcus Whitman in saving Ore gon to the ITnltfcd States and tendered his services in aiding Oregon senators to secure whatever-funds they needed for the exposition.. Senators Burton, Foster, 8moot. ex- Senator Thurston, Sam Hill of Seattle and others also responded to toasts and all favored Oregon's claims.

The striking street car men this morning went Into session and at noon ratified the strike settle ment, thereby ending .the great conten tion. The leaders notified the company to take out their trains. Wholesale op erations were commenced this afternoon. Fires were started under all the big boilers and pickets were withdrawn. The former strikers assisted wherever possible In the repairing of switches and trolley wires. The company expects by nightfall to resume Its regular traffic. The agreement as finally ratified pro vides for the appointment of a board of arbitration within 10 days to take up the wage question. The decision is to date from today. A day s work Is to consti tute from 8 to 11 hours. The maximum watch is to be 15 hours. Neither sldo Is to discriminate against union or non union men. A Joint grievance commit tee, will hereafter hoar all complaints. The moKt Important guarantee in con nection with the settlement was secured from Mayor Harrison and the alder manic mediation committee, which is. If any man is unjustly treated in reference to being taken back, the mayor and com mittee will stand by the carmen and see that Justice Is done them by the com pany In reinstatement. The company ngrees to reinstate all except those guilty or violence. The decision is practically a defeat for the union, as Its greatest contention, that of the closed shop. Is lost, although the men gain minor points. The strike lasted 14 days and cost the company and strikers alone In excess of half a million dollars, while the loss to trade will aggregate millions. One de partment store reports its falllng-off in trade as nearly $10,000 daily. Holmes Insists Larry Sullivan Toole $80 From Him-Says He Will Furnish Proof From Grainhandlers. ROYAL SCANDAL IS GREATEST ON RECORD (Journal flpeolal Bertie.) Berlin, Nov. 25. The elopement-, of Princess Alice is causing a greater sen-4 satlon than the Princess Louise-Glron affair. It Is authentically stated today that Princess Alice ran away a year ago with a Saxon nobleman and. toured -the continent in -an automobile' In retaliation for her husband's llason with an actress. Prince Frederick challenged, fought a1 duel and badly wounded . the nobleman. He forgave his wife but never resumed other than formal, relations with' her. The princess picked up Coachman Ma terno In Italy last February. He was a hostler at that time. GOV.

Before the ib poenas could be served, however,' tha bark left for Astoria. Holmes was given a sort of a pre liminary examination, and he reiterated -that he had been shanghaied and robbed by Larry Sullivan of 80.

All of Holmes' clothes are also on board th essel, and Mr. Pearson states every effort will be made to recover the money nd peisonal effects and bring the guilty parties to justice.

He reported the full details to Mayor Williams.

The Are originated In the rear part of the house and by the tlma hose com pany 3 arrived from their quarters, a few blocks away, the entire building was in flames. After hose 3 responded a box alarm was turned in summoning other apparatus, but on account of the extremely long runs and the terrible condition of the streets the department could not make any time and the house was doomed to destruction. With the assistance of neighbors the family succeeded In getting part of the household goods out of the burning building, but a considerable portion of the furiiisl tngs were burned.
