AGAINST ORGANIZED LABOR OREGON SENATORS ARE DOMINATED BY TRUSTS, Kill the Associated Press Bill, a Mens, ure Most Ardently Desired by the Unions. Salem, Feb. 12. (Special Corre spondence.) Organizod labor got scant consideration from tho senate Wednesday. Tho upper house of the Oregon leg islature has gone on record an being subservient to tho Interests opposed to labor and has shown itself dominat ed by tho Portland newspaper trust. That the latter should oppose any measure designed for the good of tho plnln people Is characteristic, but the citizens of Oregon had a right to ex pect better things from tho mon in tho senate. The action of the senate in killing tho measure most ardently desired by organized labor is proof positivo of the unprecedented char acter of the upper house and of its nntagonism to lanor. Tho anti-labor feeling in the senate is so obvious that nothing can be ex pected from that body in tho way of legislation tavorable to the people un less, mayhap, some of tho memners awalto to this truth: The people of Oregon will surely remember the betrayal of their inter ests, the violation of pledges and the Insults offered to tho laboring masses of tho state. As to tho Associated Press bill, the pi ess has asked for tho passage of this measure in the intorest of the neonle of Oregon. After thin showing, it Is not likely that tho senate will take any more favorable action on the Pierce bill than it has on tho other measures cnanv ploned by organized labor. Labor Bills Killed. The sonnto judiciary committee pre snniort an unfavorable' report on Drownell's labor bill making eight hours a day's work In specific occupa tions. The bill wan Indefinitely post- nnnnri1. Bailey's house bill prohibiting the use of misrepresentation or deception in thn nrnrmrlne of employes to worn, was killed In the senate by an unfa vorable roport by the judiciary com- mitten nnd Indefinite nosiponemoni. Another bill by Bailey to guarantee tho right of worldngmen to belong to labor organizations shared the same la to. His bill to prevent blacklisting was submitted without reeommonda- tlon- AH these bills have passed the house. Vote for Senator. Salem. Feb. 12.

Claims That the United Mlneworkers Are Organized to Dictate the Con trol and Management of Property In Which the Almighty Has Not Deign to Give Them a Single Share. Philadelphia, Pa., Fob. 12. Presi dent George F. Baer made nn arro gant speech before the anthracite com mission today. Ho attacked the min ers' union, the civic federation, nation al legislators at Washington and out siders to whom ho referred as med- lers. He concluded by making n propo sition to the miners, being the first concession ever made by him. It was that tho rate of wages now paid be a minimum basis for the next three years. That from Nov. 1 to April all others than contractors be allowed 6 per cent ndvance. After that a one per cent rise or fall governed by the market prices of coal, but never to go below the present scale as a minimum average price, to be fixed by a compe tent accountant to be paid on a pro rata ba3ls by the operators. "This ac countant to have a right to inspect the companies' books to verify any state ments made by them. In his speech ho laid particular stress on the strike of the pumpmen, and said if John Mitchell came, as a lepresentatlve of the Reading em1 ployers only, ho would have been pleased to meet and discuss the moot ed questions. He claimed that the mlneworkers iF nn organization of labor trying to dictate tho control and management of property in which they have not a dollar invested. He was bitterly sarcastic and said It must be peculiarly gratifying to the distinguished statesmen protectionists who smiled so sweetly and tenderly on the labor monopoly that the miners. their pots, had accomplished what a generation of hctivc revenue reform ers had failed In that or removing the duty on coal. Now Thought That Quay's Object In Keeping the Statehood Bill Before the Public Was to Prevent Any Anti-Trust Legislation From Being Enacted, Washington, Feb. 12. Quay admit ted this morning that he had been in correspondence with Archbold, of thu Standard Oil Company regarding the pending anti-trust legislation, but further -declined to discuss the matter. members ot the senate, and not Quay nnd the combination ot republicans and democrats who are behind him. and Insists that a vote should be had on the statehood measure. Tho Rockefeller Standard Oil tele grams arc still the subject ot discus sion, and nobody can quite under stand what was meant. On one hand ihc democrats nnd somo others claim Hint the tiust legislation to which Rockefeller and the Standard Oil mag rates objected cannot do them or any ol her trust harm, while some senators v. ho arc largely Interested In corpora tions say that the Nelson amendment is very drastic. Tho great wonder expressed here Is that Rockefeller and his associates would have been fools enough to send telegrams ot tho kind Instead of sending men direct to see tho various senators, which would not have excited suspicion. Some complaint is made because ot the fact that the Rockefeller interior tnco was riven out, but evidently those senators who received tho tele grams were anxious that something ot tho kind should be done or they never vould have said anything about It. It continues to bo a mystery, nnd per haps will be so until the effect of the present trust legislation is seen. HOLOrUP AT BUTTE Northern Pacific Express Car Blown Up With Dynamite by Two Robbers.

Washington, Feb. 12. The depart ment of commerce bill won't be sign ed by President llo'isovolt until Attorney-General Knox passes h's approval, probably crly next week. Tho pres ident will Immediately appoint George Cortelyou to the new cabinet position. William Loeb, Jr., the now assistant secretary, will be promoted to cortet sou's place. The appointment of Cor telyou is singular, In ns much as it meets tho hearty approval of both par ties and conies solely as a recognition of his great ability and tact. In the houso today the chaplain's opening prayer was devoted to Lin coln. Against Negro. An advorre report was made today by a commltteo on the nomination of Crum, a colored man selected by Pies- Ident Roosevelt, as collector of cus toms at Cherleston, by a vote of eight to soven. Perkins and Jones voted with the democrats. This aftci'noon tho senate is con fclderlng tho Panama tieaty. For the White House. A lively debate occurred over an- ap nronrlation of $60,000 for the care, re pair and refurnishing tho White Houso.

Quay, Senate Chamber, Washing ton: Yesterday's letter received. Wo are unalterably opposed to all the pro posed so-called trust bills, except the Elklns bill already passed by the sen ate, preventing railroad discrimina tion. Everything else Is utterly fu tile and will result only in vexatious Interference lwth tho industrial inter est of the country. "The Nelson bill as all others of like character, will bo only an engine for vexatious attacks against a few large corporations. It gives the right of federal interference with business of state corporations without giving any federal protection whatever. There Is no popular, demand for such a meas ure. "If any bill Is passed it should apply to all Industrial partnerships and cor porations engaged in interstate busi ness and it should be made mandatory on all as to making reports of their business to tho commerce department.'

MEN RECEDES 10 GERMANY BLOCKADE WILL BE LIFTED WHEN PROTOCOL IS SIGNED Washington, Feb. 12. A great deal of dissatisfaction is expressed one way or another about the capltol con cerning trust legislation. It is ob served thnt Littlefiold refused to vote for the department of commerce bill with the Nelson anti-trust amendment In it, and be had good reason, too, be cause lie knows that this bill and the Elkins intei state commerce bill are probably all the trust egjslntlon that Is to be adopted this congress. - Littlefleld is no doubt aware that the iwo senate propositions are to be en acted into la w, and that his bill, which was prepared with such care and pass ed after quite a stormy time, is to be sidetracked or to be put to sleep In tho senate. Littlefleld had nn inter view with the president today, and it Is understood that he Is far from sat isfied with the situation. It Is stated that lie was informed that th-j admin ittrntlon pressure would rot be brought to bear for any other legisla tion save that which has been agreed upon in tho senate, and that the Elkins bill and tho Nelson amendment must stand for the present. The president, of oDiirse, has been informed by senators who control leg islation that these two propositions are. as far as the majority desires to go at the present time, although no doubt, should congress bp called in extra session, legislation on the lines of the Littlefleld bill would be passed in time, as there Is evidently a clear majority for such legislation should the senate be given an opportunity to act upon It. Senator Morgan voiced a sentiment which has beon quite generally whis pered abou' the capltol when he said that the statehood bill has been kept If fore the ennlc fjr the purpose of pi eventing anti-trust legislation. He might have Included that It was intend ed also to hold off any action on the eight-hour bill, and several features of the Immigration bill. Of course. Senator Morgan is one of the many democrats who have assisted in keep ing tho statehood bill to the front. Morgan, however, blames the opposi tion to the statehood bill, which Is composed lagply of the republican t Germany Demands That She Be Paid $340,000 by Venezuela In Five Monthly Payments Demands Con sidered Extortionate. Washington, Feb. 12. According to Instructions received from the German foreign office by Sternberg this morn ing, he formally demanded of Minister Bowen payment by Venezuela of $310, 000 in five equal monthly installments, tho first two to become duo in two weeks after signing of the protocol. Although Bowen considers tho de mand extortionate ho will accedo in the interests of peace- The Germans have agreed with the other allies to lift the blockade immediately upon Fignlng of the protocol. The representatives of Great Brit ain and Italy wired their governments explaining that when they consented yesterday to a greater cash payment to Germany they believed tho sum ask ed would be $170,000. Deaplanehes had agreed to sign the protocol this after noon, but has now withdrawn his promise until he communicates further with Is government. It Is believed thnt Great Britain and Italy will reluctant ly acquiesce to the new arrangement. CHANGES IN THE OSAGE NATION EXPRESS CAR THOUGHT TO CONTAIN GREAT TREASURE.

Butte, Feb. 12. Tho train was a Burlington express tunning on the Northern Pacific track Posses from Deer Lodgo with bloodhounds have gone to tho scone. Tho Northern Pa cific officers offer $5,000 for the arrest nnd conviction of tho cntiro gang or $1,000 for each ono. Railway men say thore wero five men In the gang. Thero are conflict ing' reports ns to the amount ot money in tho oxpioss car. Tho messenger says tho robbers could not gel to ex rood JB00 from other sources. However, ho considered It nu thorlativo to say that tho robbers got $5,000. When tho hold-up camo the express mei'senger threw one packago of money In tho rnck. The trainmen showed fight and a mall clerk was wounded. Division Superintendent Bovle was on tho train nnd ran for ward, but was afraid to shoot for fear of hitting one of ins own men in darkness.

The mall clerks wound 'is not serious, being only a flesh wound In tho hip. It is at Present the Greatest Grazing District In the Southwest. The Osagt nation today Is the giratest grazing district In the South west, aizo taken Into consideration. Last season 5000 cars, or over 100, 000 head, of steers and cows were shipped from its pastures, and in ad dition to this number were several thousand head that were held through winter. There are hundieds of Okla homans who aro looking at the Osage nation with longing eyes and aro an xiously awaiting the day when they can divide tho fertile lands Into farms, as has beon done to tho west and south of the nation. Tho present ear will probably bo the last in which a big movement of Texas cat tle to that section will bo enjoyed, and two years longer will probably see the complete elimination of the Osago nation from the list of grazing grounds for Texas steers, The big cowmen will then have to confine their operations to the country south and cast of the nation as a mammoth grazing field will see the end of El gin, Kansaj', supremacy as a shipping point. Last season was Elgin's great est'year In the business. With favor able conditions and no adverse quar antine restrictions in force the town may this year equal the record ot 1902, but this year will certainly be the climax of her greatness and cat tlemen sny the decline will be rapid.
