EIGHT PAOK8. DAILY EAST OREGOMAX, PENDLETON, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21. 1904. PAGE TURKIC. FULTON'S NAME HISSED IN PORTLAND The Portlnncl Oregonlan gives the following account of Senator La Fol lette's lecture In Portland, In which the name of Senator Fulton wan hlmed and that of Oearln applauded: Senator Fulton wan roundly hissed nnd Senator Oearln enthusiastically applauded by a vast assemblage that filled the White, Temple last night to have Hubert T.a Follelte, United States senator from Wisconsin, speak on "Representative OovHrnment." It wag known that Senator La Follette would In some manner attack Senator Fulton, because the latter was among those who failed to support several of the La Follette amendments to the railroad rote bill, but the public ex pression of Indignant feeling on the part of the audience was unexpected. The little giant from Wisconsin also declared that a political boss of Tort land Is trying to Induce the state rep resentatives and senators to vote against Jonathan Hourne for United States senator when the legislature meets In January, and It Is presumed that he aimed directly at "Jack" Matthews of Portland. The White Temple was packed and Jammed at the lecture last night. Sen ator La Follette was Introduced by Samuel Connell, and for three solid hours he occupied the platform In an Impassioned address against corporate wealth and Influence. He swayed the audience, with his oratory, and when the feeling was most Intense he sprang the bombshell he had In store for Senator FBIton. "Papers which are aligned with the trusts say that I nm throwing mud when I tell of my fight In the senate to secure the amendment to the rail road rnte bill, but I nm simply hand ing out the records of the senators who opposed me," he said. "I tell you right here that the country Is more In danger than It was In the six ties. Itato III 1 1 Incomplete. "The hill has many good provisions, but It Is far from being complete. The bill withholds the essential authority to mnke all rates reasonable. My amendment had for Its purpose to remedy that defect. It would have clothed the Interstate conimerce com mission with the authority and appro, prlatlon to employ experts to ascer tain the value of railroad property, without which Information the rail roads can never be regulated as they should be. The value of the railroads can never be regulated as they should be. The value of the railroads of the United States Is J6.nnn.nnn.nnft. yet they are capitalized ot SM.nnn.nnn.nno twice as much ns their real value. "Pailroad companies should receive enough money fur their' operating ex penses, maintenance of property and n fair rate of interest on their Invest ment and no more. My amendment would hnve saved the people of the United States Jt.tri.onn.nnn annually, whic h the railroad companies now re .Ctl'.'f an'l to which they arc not enti tled. . "V'll'n J anise ti speak on my omendnient nearly all of my col leagues got up and went nut. I then stated that many if those who had vacated their seals temporarily might find that the people ef the country would make them vacate their seats permanently. I meant It when I said It. and It briMight some f them back," Senator I .a Follette then went on to relate that bis amendment was laid mi the table by a vote of 4ft against 2. and that 22 senators did not vole, lie prnieedi d to read the list of those who voted ngnln"t it. and !he firs! name he gave was that of Aldrich. He then read carefully down the list until he came to Fulton, and then he paused. leaning nut. over the plat form, his face glowing with suppressed feeling and every muscle tense, he uttered the name of "Fulton." He laid great stress on the nnme of the United Stales senator from Oregon, nnd pro jiounred It with decided emphasis. IlisMN for Senator Fulton, Instantly there swept over the as semblage a deep groan which was Immediately followed by a storm of hisses nnd cries of "Shame." He then read the list of the senators who voted for Ihc amendment, and when he came to the name of (iearln there was a great nnd enthusiastic outburst of handclnpplngs. This was not enough and Senator I.n Follette told of his attempt to pass another amendment that provided that bulges who held stocks or bonds or passes Issued by the railroad com panies be disqualified lo preside In their Judicial capacity over ensea In which the railroad companies were In terested. He rend the list of the sen- otors who voted against this measure nnd when he pronounced the nnme of Fulton there was another outbreak of hisses which wns more violent than me first manifestation. Senator Oearln was among the few who voted for H and he got another burst of applause. Senator La Follette appeared to be greatly pleased over the applause given Senator Oearln. In speaking of him he said: "If Oearln voted wrong on any question where corpor ations were on one Bide and tne peo ple on the other I haven't any recol lection of It." In stieaklng of the political boss, whom he declared was working to de feat the neoule's choice for United States senator, he said: T nm Informed that you have a nrogresslve constitution and a prl mary election law. I understand that fhe neonle of Oregon have declared thomsplvea against the election of United States senators by the leglsla ture. I have been reliably Informed that there Is a movement on foot to undermine and destroy that declara tlon of tho people of this state, and that there Is a political boss In Port land who Is Interviewing the senators nnd representatives to Influence them not to abide by the will of the people and that the potltlons will be circu lated to be signed by consltuents re leasing their senators and representn tlves from their promises. Beware, : nv. If you Strike down this great prln clple. Be on your guard. I do hope you will pormlt Jonathan Bourne to Join me In Washington ps T need ro ;ie company. I was told by benutor Oearln that he Is an honest man and that he will follow the wishes of the people." IIolilH Inlerivt of Audience. Senator La Follette Is a powerful speaker, and although he did not con clude until 11:30 o'clock, but few of those present left the hall while he was speaking. Ho held like In a vise the Interest of the throng, and not for a second did he lose his absolute commnnd of their attention. After the lecture the men and women thronged to the platform to grasp his hnnd, and It was half an hour or more before he had met the last of them. Senator La Follette leaves this morn ing for Tacoma. . THE FILIPINO CONGRESS. Tho New Purine Route. Washington, Nov. 21.

March 27, 1907, will be an Import ant date murk In the history of the Philippines. On that day a general election will be called to choose dele gates to a Philippine nssembly, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. This Is In obedience to a law of congress which provides thnt two years after the taking of a census of the Islands this grant of self-rule should be made. The icensus was published on March 27, 1905, and attracted wide attention. It wns the first count of the Inhabitants of the Islands which made any close opproaeh to accuracy. The population of the Islands, as re vealed In that count, was 7,635,000, of whom 647,000 are classed as un civilized. Under the law of congress all male residents of the Island of 23 years of age, who can read nnd write either Spanish or English, or who own a certain amount of property, can vote for members of the new assembly. Under Spanish law 23 years wns the minimum voting age. The Philip pine parliament will consist of two chambers, a populnr branch of not less than 50 nor more than 100 mem bers, and an upper and smaller branch, to be called the Philippine commission, part of which, It Is prob able, will consist of the present com mission for the Islands. This will be the first step toward the establishment of self-rule for the Filipinos, but they will, even by this beginning, have a larger voice in the government of their local affairs than Spain would probably have granted to them If she had remalneo In control half a century longer. It Is a larger mensure of Belf-rulb than Is possessed by any of the Asiatic colonies of the European powers. 'The grant will be extended ns fast as the natives show an Intelligence to use their power wisely. It Is altogether probable that within a third of n century '.he Phil ippines will hnve almost as much of a voice In the management ol their home concerns as Canada has under the British system. This experiment In home. rule for nn Asiatic dependen cy will be watched with a good deal of Interest hy the world. EUGENE WATER SUPPLY STOPS PLACE IMS NO PROTECTION WHATEVER AGAINST FIRE (.rent Church Merger. ri'tsburg. Nov. 21. The movement to merge the Congregational, Metho dist Protestant and United Brethren churches Into one body is now almost an assured fact. A large meeting of the ministers of the denominations mentioned Is being held here today to discuss the project. The movement has been In progress for five years. The consolidation of the churches Into one body to be known as the United church will give the new organization a membership of about 1,250,000 nnd mnke It one of the strongest Protest ant church bodies In the world. lrili Potato Crop 1'tillure. Dublin, Nov, 21. The blight in the potato crop which appeared in June has almost completely destroyed the potato crop In the south nnd west. As It is the staple crop In the districts where It has been a failure, the con gested districts board are taking steps to relieve the peasants from any suf fering dining the coming winter.

Eugene Is today without a water supply, says the Ouard of November 16. There Is trouble at the pumping station, and there has been no water In the mains all day nor was there any during a greater part of the time last night and a gced part of the tunc yesterday. Investigation by the Guard today revealed the. fact that the cause, of the entire lack of water is that the mouth of the suction pipe which Iks In ihc- bottom of tin.- liver Is clogged with mud nnd Fravid so that no w.aer nt all can be drawn Into It. As the water In the river right now Is very deep and swift, It is Impossible to reach the mouth of the pipe to cleun it out, nnd some other means of draw ing the water to the pumps will have to be employed or else raise the pipe out of the river and clean out the de Lrls. The company has had trouble with the mud ever since the river began to rise at the commencement of the I resent freshet. It has clogged the filters, making it difficult for the water to pass through them. This is. no doubt, the teason for the low pres sure in the mains dining the past wf.ek. It developed today that the water company has not been using the res ervoir for some time past, pumping direct int othe mains. The power for motors which operate small pieces of machinery about the city has been very poor for u long time and of course there Is now none at all. The Guard abandoned Its water motors several weeks ago and since thru all of Its machinery has been operated l.y electricity. .Mi-yor Wiikins and other city of ficials ere doing rll In their power to rpve present conditions remedied icr tiny realize that In case of firj there would be no protection what ever to property and that the i.lty's health Is seriously menaced. They have (1en-.nrr.lcrt of the water company officials that a wrrtei supply be fur riNhel at once and have received the reply that everything possible is being dine to pet the pumps In motion again. On account of the lack of water in the mains tire public schools were dismissed and no classes will be heard until the water is turned on again. if Goto I II i wS,r i w r-rriit ef nn Lw PitfT lift 11 CH& (l (' TTT1 Tl 0 o ) . , f. . u . .. . !lLl3irs, . .
