JOHN HAUL'S CHANCES
ARE NOW VERY GOOD
" Before tha sun sets this evening John
Ball will probably receive the unani
mous endorsement of ths Oregon eon-
' gresslonal delegattoa for reappointment
as United States district attorney. For
many months tha delegation has been In
a deadlock over this appointment, but
unless unforeseen developments arias
. it will terminate this afternoon In Hall's
favor. His only competitor for the place
Is Judge J. C Moreland. who has been
backed by Senator Mitchell and Con
gressman Williamson, whlls Senator
Fulton and Congreasmsn Hermsnn hsvs
advocated the appointment of Hall.
With the endorsement of ths entire del
egation Hall will undoubtedly be reap
pointed, for It Is well known thst Presi
dent Boosevelt and the department of
justice are desirous of retaining blm in
office. 1 1 1
Meeting of , Delegattoa.
Tba delegation assembled st 10 o'clock
this morning at the Portland hotel for
the purpose of settling this snd other
questions of federal patronage which
, were still' undisposed of when they- left
wkinvtnn- Congressman Hermann ar
rived on the morning train from Rose

down from eaatern Oregon and Senator
Fulton and Senator Mitchell came from
Astoria last evening, the latter having
been spending a few daya at the sea
side, A number of would-be postmss
tera and other aspirants for government
Jobs were awaiting them, eager to preaa
their' claims.
Ths delegation was in session for two
hours this forenoon snd .reassembled
Immediately after lunch. When they
adjourned at noon . littls had been- ec-,
compllshed xeept-to agree upon two
postofflce appointments . In Congressman
Hermann's district snd ths important
matter of agreeing upon a recommen
dation for United Statea district-attorney
waa leff.untll afternoon. Other ap
pointments to be determined are the
collector of port at Taqftlna bay and a
' deputy collector In the internal revenue
office, tha latter vacancy arising from
ths reslgnstlon of J. J. Shipley, who Is
now aaalstant poatmaater.- .
lager's taad-Ia TttaL
Apparently the only contingency which
would defeat John Hall for reappoint
ment as United States district attor
ney would be a change In the attitude
of Congresaman Blnger Hermann. Up
WasTrtngtonYAugXI.Cneklb Bay. th
Turkish minister, called at the state de
partment thla morning to Inquire wheth:
er the published statement that the Eu
ropean squadron of ths United States
navy had been- ordered to Smyrna aa a
menace to Turkey waa correct He waa
informed, that the visit of the American
ships to Turkish waters was 'In accord
ance with a prearranged schedule snd
should not be considered a menace to the
Ottoman government
In addition, however, he was told that
ths United . States would insist strenu
ously upon her rights and upon a com
pliance with her request with reference
to trading claims snd the proper protec
tion of American Interests.
It is understood that no further In

NQUIRIES
been brought to my ears, and in every
one pf them thla man McCarthy haa
figured. I will brook no longer delay in
hla caae." ' , -
Mr. Manning explained that one of Ma
deputies had bean In charge of the caaa
and la now out or town. Ha explained
that with tha vaat amount of bualneaa
going through bla ones he had not been
able to keep tab on all cases himself.
He promlaed that immediate action
abould be taken aa regards McCarthy.
A peculiar feature of tha affair la that
Jamea Coleman, arrested with McCarthy
has lain in Jail the aame length of time
and haa never been brought to trial,
though ono full Jury term haa slipped
by during the period he haa spent in
Jell. It is suspected that Coleman
managed to hand the detectives ths
sumo kind 'of pretty package, tied up
with aa attractive verbal string, ss did
McCsrthy.
McCarthy tias an exceedingly bad rec
ord. He has been In trouble at Spokane
and at Seattle, bearing the marks of ona
encounter with the authoiitlea at . tha
latter place. He alao served time In a
atats penitentiary in California for be
ing one of tha members of a gang that
tunneled from a saloon under the First
National bank at Los Angeles, with the
Intention of' drilling through a steel
vault. -
When he was arrested by tha detec
tives hers ha dropped a bundle ho was
carrying and pulled a revolver, but was
"floored" and manacled before "he could
use It ' -; . '
to the present time Hermann has sided
With- Senator Fulton in advocating Hall's
retention In office. Harvey W. Scott
undertook to swing Hermann's vote to
Judge Moreland and wrote a letter to
tha congressman asking blm as a per
gonal favor to support Moreland. There
is reaaon to believe, however, that tha
editor's appeal was unavailing and that
Hermann wlU stand by his original
choice.
If Hermann stands pat It Is expected
that Senator Mitchell will realise the
futility of further efforts in Morelsnd's
behalf, and will cast his vote for Halt
The deadlock will then be broken and
the recommendation will be made unan
imous" In local Republican circles Moreland's
chances have not been regarded as
bright since ths campaign that preceded
the June election. He made no secret
of Ms hostility to ths party nominees
for district attorney and sheriff, and
this was made tha baals of strong
charges of political- disloyalty, which
have probably had some weight with the
delegation.
. Another Warm Contest.
Next in Interest to the appointment
Of United States district attorney la that
af collector of port at Y equina. There
are several aspirants for the place. C.
B. Crosno, ths Incumbent wants to hold
hla Job. W, Tyler. Smith of Tamhtll
county la a candidate for ths office, but
his political prestige wss considerably
Impaired by hla failure to secure a re-nomination-
for state senator st ths state
convention. B. F. Jones of Lincoln is
snxlous to get on Uncle Sam's payroll
In some capacity, and would like to havs
slther the eollectorshlp st Taqulna or
the vacant place In the internal revenue
office, but unfortunately for his aspira
tions Jones played faat and looas In the
senatorial ' contest at ths last regular
session of ths legislature. Jones Is
said to have promised repeatedly to east
his vote for Fulton, but ha felled ts do
so, snd the fact has not been forgotten.
Jones hss the strong support of Blnger
Hermann, who baa been under consider
able obligations to him. but this Is not
likely to avail him much. Another can
didate for ths Xaqufna office is Penny,
formerly employed In ths mail service
on the Taqulna road. -
Vacancies in ths postofflces at Forsst
Orovs snd HUlaboro will arise four or
five months hence, but they will not be
considered st this time. ...

Shin gtonr D- C. Aug.LIfl force
ful but diplomatic language the United
States government has declared to ths

eral proposition made by Russia that
coal Is contraband. This announcement
Is msds In a circular nots from Secre
tary Hay to the American ambassadors
in Europe, dated June 10,. and was mads
public this morning. I
Hill's International law is quoted to
show that durlnai the West African con

dissent vlgorouely from the Including
of coal among ths artlclea of contraband
Of war. Hay's .note further says It Is
understood that It Is, Russia's Intention
to declare cotton contraband.
Such policy he aaserts would Imply
that every article of human use might
be declared contraband, almply that It
might ultimately become useful to a
belligerent power for 'military purposes.
