Roosevelt Throws Down the

The long-expected battle over federal
"" patronage between President Roosevelt
' and Senator C. W. Fulton haa opened
. and In the first mix-up Roosevelt litis
- landed a body blow which Is almost
., paralysing. There was little prelimi
nary spurring or feinting and Roose-'
velt struck home " with characteristic
force. )
With utter disregard or the senator's
. protests and recommendations, without
so much as a pretense of consulting
him, the president announced lata last
. night three Important appointments.
. William C. Bristol, one of Portland's
most prominent and moat successful
younger attorneys,, haa been appointed
United Btatea district attorney for Ore.
g'on to succeed Francis J. Heney, who
has-been the central figure- for .ran?
months in the most spectacular political
drama ever enacted In the northwest.
" Mr. Brtstbl took the oath of office at
11:45 o'clock this morning before judge
W. B. Gilbert and entered upon hla new
duties today. ' '
-' Benjamin I' Eddy -of Tillamook -haa
been appointed register of the Roseburg
, land office -and James M. Lawrence of
: Band has been appointed receiver of the
same office. ' .
' Eddy's appointment la. made aa the
result of a promise given by the presi
dent .-months ago, before relations ba
iaecivhy&setf and Fulton, had become
",'mi strained. . ' Fulton recommended". Eddy
'- ;" n4 the office was promised - to '' hlmi
But bovh of -the other appointments are
ihade regardless of the senator, and in
' naming;' them the1 president has shown
lti unrnTtttakaCile' mallrrlT
indifference to Fulton'
wishes.
Hens tor Fulton la placed in a peculiar
ly difficult and unpleasant position. Be
fore leaving foFtland for Washington
he declared that under no circumstances
would he consent to the confirmation of
the appointment of United Statea Mar
shal C. J. Reed, and he stated, that, II
necessary he would call upon hla fellow-senators
to reject the appointment.
The alight which waa placed upon Ful
ton by appointing Reed without consult
ing the senator haa been Intensified, and
Kulton must now determine whether h
will carry out hla threat, and also
whether he wilt oppose the confirmation
of W. C. Bristol and Jamea M. Law
rence. '
Among the politicians the day's devel
opments have caused a profound sensa
tion. The extraordinary rebuff admin
istered to Senator Fulton has been the
topic of much speculation. Roosevelt's
confidence in the senator is said to have
be;n shaken by the developments of the
past -few months and Fulton haa himself
unwittingly contributed to this feeling
- of distrust. Fulton's Indorsements of
candidates for - federal appointments
have been viewed with suspicion and all
of them have been subjected to rigid in
vestigation by secret agents of the ad
ministration. Fowell a ttambltng Blook.
The president is. known to have been
much angered by the fact that T. Oader
Powell wa warmly indorsed by Fulton
for the Office of United States marshal
in Alaska and it was. -largely In reliance
On thla Indorsement that Powell re
ceived the office. - Afterward the. presi
dent was placed . In possession of
Powell's record. In this county and he
expressed In strong terms his Indlgua
tion that such a candidate ahould have
' been recommended to him by Fulton.
: Other- candidates for office who have
received Fulton'a indorsement have been
Investigated and found waatlngand the

made a complete haul, not a cent being

been secured.1 The burglary ws com
mitted between 1 and, 2 o'clock this
morning. Entrance was gained through
the 'front door of the office, which had
been broken open with a crowbar. The
robbers then dug out tha left aide ' of
the bank vault, which waa composed of
brick, making a hole about the site of a
amall waahtub, giving access to the safe
within. This had been apparently sur
rounded with nitroglycerin, and the
charge blew the safe almost to pieces.
Between I and 3 o'clock this morning
people living near the building heard the
reports but thought they emanated from
the office of the News Printing company
and no attention was given them. Mrs.

Crippled and Disabled Steamer

BATTLING WITH GALE-

Baa Francisco, Dec.- I, This after
noon tbe ateanter Roanoke, which since
Mondsy last haa drifted helplessly on
the storm-tossed Pacific, reached port
In tow of the tug Defiance, after a ter
rible voyage In which the crippled vessel
waa mercilessly driven about by one of
the worst gales of tbe year. For days
those aboard feared the vessel would
not live through the storm. Her rudder
was gone and she was lesklng, yet she
came safely to her destination, with her
hundred passengers and her large cargo.
The fears of the relet Ives of those
aboard the Roanoke were set-at -rest
thla morning when Captain Jepson of
the steamer City of Pueblo arrived here
and reported speaking the disabled
steamer at 10:10 o'clock last night It
miles southesst of Point Arena and
about 10 miles from the harbor.
-Captain Jepso reported that the dis
abled steamer .. waa making very slow
headway but did not ask any assistance.
The tug Defiance, which left port last
night to resume her hunt for the crip
pled stesmer, found her before dawn and
took the Roanoke In tow; '
At o'clock this morning the Ro
anoke waa alghted passing Point Reyes,
and mnder tow of the tug, she. made
cood progress t the harbor. . -
Orave fears had been entertained
among the shipping" men of thla city
for the aafety of the steamer, for since
