TODAY CLOSES
Tuesday Will Decide Con
gressional Fights in Nearly
Every State.
INDICATIONS FAVOR A
DEMOCRATIC HOUSE
Sltiuitlon Similar to Tlmt of 1800
When Hurrlsoii Wus Forced to Con
tend With Democratic llouso
GulH'rnutorlul Fight of Chief Inter
est in Some States Including Ore
gon Assemblylsm In IMnclpol Is
sue Here.
New York, Nov. 6. In most of the
Btatcs of this country today the con
gressional campaign Is closing. In a
few slates red fires will glow Monday
evening but the real close of the cam
paign is today. In every state, Maine
and 'Vermont excepted, congressional
elections will be held. In twenty-five
states, complete new state tickets will
be voted for. Not since 1890 when the
house of representatives was sweep
lngly returned democratic with a re
publican president, has an off year
election aroused such interest. Poli
ticians of old declare the conditions
are similar to those of 1890. The re
vulsion of feeling, which democrats
profess to see, in admittedly the work
of republican leaders and may leave
President Taft In the same position
as Harrison was with an overwhelm
ing democratic house.
In some of the states, notably New
York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Cal
ifornia and Oregon the gubernatorial
race overshadows the congressional
elections. The Issue In the New York
fight Is admittedly Theodore Roose
velt. Although the direct primary
and other Influences count some, the
colonel is the center of the stage fac
tor. Roonevelt is backing Stlmson for
governor against John Dlx. In Wash
ington the fight is on progressive lines
only In the congressional elections.
In Idaho the chief Interest is in the
gubernatorial contest in which Wet
vs. Dry and progressivelsm are plt
ed against standpatlsm Issues. In
Oregon the chief interest is in the
gubernatorial contest in which the Is
sue has been made on "assemblylsm"
versus the direct primary, which It Is
alleged forbids the holding of nomi
nating conventions by parties.
MeKlnley la Confident.
Chlcngo, Nov. 5. Chairman Wil
liam B. MeKinley of the republican
congressional campaign committee, to
day Issued a statement saying he was

ed by the percentage of the republi
can voters going to the polls Tuesday.

the exposition, the Cotton Palace, Is
considered by experts to be one of
the handsomest edifices of Its kind
ever erected anywhere. The displays
of the cotton and other agricultural
products of the Lone Star state are
the most complete ever attempted.
Arrangements have been made for
dallyalrshlp flights and demonstra
tions of a newly perfected cotton
picking machine, one of the mechan
ical marvels of the age.
ALFONSO'S LIFE UNDER
CHARM OF ODD RING
Madrid. A very great many of
King Alfonso's loyal subjects firmly
believe that their young king owes
his marvelous escapes from danger
to a certain ring which is supposed to
bring long life and prosperity to a
worthy Spanish monarcn and death
to everyone else who possesses It
This ring, which is studded with dia
monds and pearls, was first presented
by King Alfonso XII to his consort.
Queen Mercedes, who died a month
Inter.
The king next gave It as a present
to his sister Maria, who died a, few
days later. Again It came Into Lis
majesty's possession. This time he
gave It to his late wife's grandmother,
Queen Christlnn, who was dead In
three months. Fearing to bring about
further disaster and death, the king
placed the Jewel In his own casket,
with the result that he died within a
year.
The queen regent was so5uperstN
tlnus about the ring that she abso
lutely refused to have anything to dj
with It, and ordered It to be hung
around tho neck of the statue of the
virgin of Almudcna of Madrid, which
ornaments one of tfio parks of that
city. Here It Is safe from robbers,
for no Spanish thief would touch It
one and all believing that, while it
would mean death to them, It pos
sesses a magic Influence over tho life
of their king, who became Its legal
possessor upon his accession to tho
throne.

tho respect of his hearers and it was
freely predicted that Dr. Smith will
be given a big vote by the people of
that town.
All of the democratic candidates

ing headwinds which threatened to

wife Mary Scott Castle Charlton, was
submitted today to the state depart
ment for a decision relative to possible
extradition.
Talo Fears Defent.
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 6. Sons
of Old Ell are oppressed with the
fear that the blue banner will be
trailed in the dust today by the foot
ball squad from Brown University.
The game with Brown Is looked upon
as a test of the relative strength of
the Yale and Harvard elevens, but
this year such a test Is hardly need
ed. Harvard defeated the Providence
aggregation by a score of 12 to 0, but
unless the Blues show a remarkable
Improvement in form, it will be sur
prising if the Invaders do not take
them into camp, or at least hold the
Yales even. In such event, Yale men
admit, the football season for the Ells
will be all over but the weeping.
WINS 200
MILE AUTO RACE
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 5. Joe Daw
son's Marmon was Just 3 1-5 seconds
ahead of Ralph Mulford's big white
Lozler at the finish of the 200 mile
race here yesterday.
The duel between these two began
immediately after the hundredth
mile. Dawson was then far behind on
account of a stop to change tires, but
"changing tires" is merely the tech
nical expression for what happened
to him. There was no exchange about
it for he stopped at the pits with his
right rear wheel entirely devoid of
the semblance of a tire, and the Iron
rim showering sparks as it ground on
the track.
The Lozler stopped soon afterwards
to make a real change of tires, put-
ing the cars on even terms. Another
of Dawson's tires flattened at the 140
mile and In the same lap of the Loz
ler's tires was reduced to ribbons.
Thereafter luck kept out of tho
game and a new element, Mulford's
daring, replnccd It. The Marmon wns
running faster, but on tho bad turn
of tho track where two drivers have
been killed. Mulford, with full speed
on would fhot ahead of Dawson, who
always plnyed the bad corner safe.
Dawson waited until there was less
tbnn 20 miles to go and then shoved
his car nlongsldo the Lozler. Mul
ford played the turn desperately for
the next few turns of the course and
they went Into the last two mile lap
with but a few inches separating the
noses of the cars.
As they struck the dangerous cor
ner for the last lap It was Dawson
who took It nt the highest speed,
shooting into the lead which he held
to the finish. Time 2 hours, 61 min
utes, 11.73 seconds.

t'on of Iowa was announced today as
two million, two hundred and twenty
four thousand, seven hundred and
seventy-one.
The figures show Iowa's population
has decreased 70S2 or three and three
tenths per cent. The decrease Is at
tributed to influx of farmers to Can
ada. Harvard vs. Cornell.
Boston. Nov. 5. Harvard vs. Cor
nell Is an attraction which has caus
ed the football fans of Boston to set
out this morning for Cambridge In
the hope of seeing one of the snap
piest games of the present season. The
betting favors Harvard, as the Ithaca
eleven has made none too good a
showing against the minor teams It
has played.

England's annual celebration of an
event which didn't happen, was ob
served today with the usual enthu
siasm by the youngsters. The anni
versary Is that of the discover' of the
plot of Guy Fawkes and his fellow
conspirators to blow up Parliament
House.
OREGON SHEEP ARE
IN FINE CONDITION
"Oregon sheep were never in a more
healthy condition or rreer from con
tagious diseases."
Tliis was the statement made yester
day by Dr. W. H. Lytle of this city
who Is both state sheep Inspector and
state veterinarian. According to Dr.
Lytle he has had but one case of
scabbics reported to him in many
months. The one case occured In
Lake county a few weeks ago when a
band of 60 bucks wns found to be in
fected with the disease. Prompt at
tention on tho part of the state veteri
narian and the owner of the sheep
resulted in the stamping out of the
disease before It had a chance to
spread.
As for foot rot, lip and leg disease,
and to the many other diseases thaf
the flocks of the state have been heir
to In the past, they seem to have been
entirely wiped out. There has not
been a single case reported In many
months.
It will thus be seen that while Ore
gon sheep may not enter tho winter
period with quite as much fat on their
ribs as in former seasons that they
are going into it with constitutions
able to withstand the rigors of a long
hard winter. The flock masters are
also well prepared In that hay In much
greater quantities than ever before
was put up by the great majority of
eastern Oregon sheepmen.
Mr. and Mrs. F. Meeks and Wal
ter R. Ross of San Francisco, are In
the city today on their way from
near Seattle to Boise, where the men
have a vaudeville engagement under
the name of Boss & Weeks. Mrs.
Weeks wns formerly Miss Lulu Lo
reni of this city.
TOWI t
BE Dtb'IKOYED
Nome, Alahka, Nov. 5. No news ha
been received yet from Camp of Solo
mon today which may possibly mean
that that town and its fifty inhabi
tants perished in yesterday's storm.
The town was located on Norton sound
beach twenty-three miles away. Tele
phone lines are down. Merchants
here who lost heavily when the tidal
wave inundated the lower part of
Nome are attempting to save the
stores In the water filled cellars.
RULER OF SAXONY
TO HUNT RIG GAME
Berlin. King Frederick Augustus
of S-ixony h;'s completed arrange
ments for an extensive hunting expe
dition in the British Soudan. His
majesty expects to start for Africa
in February next and to be away two
months.
The king will travel strictly incog
nito, and, as far as his rank permits,
purely in the capacity of a big-game
sportsman. Only two companions
have so far been chosen to accompany
hism ajesty his physician, Dr. Selle,
and his personal adjutant, Lieutenant
Colonel Mtister.
The expedition will start from
Khartum and follow the route along
the White Nile to the vicinity of
Fashod. King Frederick Augustas,
who is a capital shot and an inveter
ate huntsman, is reading Mr. Roose
velt's book on his big game expedi
tion in Africa and will doubtless bene
fit by the ex-president's experiences.
The king's brother. Prince Johann
George, and his wife, and His Majes
ty's sister, Princess Matilda, have Just
started on a Journey to the far east.
CROWN PRINCE'S BEAUTY
CONTEST ANGERS PRINCESS
Berlin. A recent escapade of the
Crown Prince has considerably pro
voked the Crown Princess, accord
ing to the "Relchsbot."
During the maneuvers of the Guards
Corps his Imperial Highness com
manded the First Battalion of the
First Foot Guards.
One morning a crowd gathered to
watch the soldiers preparing their
meal. After the meal the men were
allowed to amuse themselves In their
own way, the Prince participating In
the fun.
Seeing ladies among the onlookers
his Imperial Highness proclaimed a
beauty competition, passed the assem
bled aspirants in review and awarded
prizes to all.
The Prince was particularly graci
ous to three young ladies, who, at his
request, took charge of the camp
kitchen and cooked pancakes for him
and his officers.
It was the last act of the little com
edy that is said to have annoyed the
Crown Princess and to have led her
to characterize It sharply as unprince
like and undignified.
MARSEILLES SOURCE
OF CHOLERA EPIDEMIC
Paris. Not-withstanding the denial
issued by the Marseilles board of
health, it has now been ascertained
that cases of cholera have occurred
there. The following semi-official
statement has been publishd:
"Three passengers arriving at Mar
seilles from the east have been certi
fied as suffering from cholra. All the
other passengers who had been in
contact with the patients were
promptly Isolated, and every precau
tion against the disease spreading has
been taken.
"These are only Imported cases,
similar to those which have recently
occurred In various other points In
Europe. The town of Marseilles can
not, therefore, be considered as In
fected with cholera. The measures
taken are calculated to obviate any
possibility of infection.
PORTLAND IS SPENDING
OVER SEVEN MILLIONS
Portland, Ore. Portland is car
rying on Improvement work of vari
ous kinds, including street, sewer and
water main construction, both under
contract and ready for contract, am
ounting to a total of $7,383,008. This
big sum is being spent quite gener
all over over the city, with each sec
tion getting its share of the benefits.
Contracts already out amount to over
$5,000,000 and these run until short
ly after January 1, 1911.
The city is completing the most ac
tive year in paving and general street
Improvement In Its history. Almost
100 miles of new parking will have
been laid by the end of 1910 and about
an equal amount Is on the program for
next year.
Paris Landmark to Go.
Paris. One of the most Interest
ing features of Old Paris Is now being
demolished the ancient house at the
Rue Saint-Florentln and the Rue
Saint-Honore. which became famous
during the Reign of Terror.
It was built in the seventeenth cen
tury, and was first used as a tavern
under the name of the Holy Ghost.
Here a curious assembly saw the carts
wtth the victims cf Marat, Robespier
re and Danton pass to the guillotine.
The guillotine stood where the ob -lisk
of Luxor now Is In the Place de
la Concorde. The house of Robe
spierre still exists not far from the
former tavern.
MINISTRY IN
SPAIN SCORES
Senate Passes ''Padlock Bill"
by Unexpected Vole of 149
to 58.
PROHIBITS CREATION OF
RELIGIOUS ESTABLISHMENTS
Bill Includes Amendment Limiting to
Tho Years Pcriexl of Interdiction
fer New Congregations Archbishop
Votes Against Hill Because it Is
Deliberate Slight Canalejas Makes
Brilliant Speech.
Madiid, Nov. 5. The senate last
night, by a vote of 149 to 58 passed
the "padlock bill," which prohibits
the creation of further religious es
tablishment in Spain until the revis
ion of the concordat with the Vatican
has been completed.
The concilliatory attitude of Pre
mier Canalejas toward the eclesiastl
cal senators during the debate In the
senate on the bill led to the Impres
sion In official circles that a way
would be found to resume negotiations
between the government and the Va
tican for a revision of the concordat.
The bill as passed Included an am
endment presented by Baron Sarco
Lirio, limiting to two years the per
iod of interdiction for the establish
ment of new congregations.
The result of the vote constitutes a
great success for the ministry, the
most optimistic supporters of which
had not expected so large a majority.
Near the close of the debate, the
Archbishop of Saragossa said he vot
ed against the bill because it was an
odious law against orders which wor
thily fulfilled their holy mission, an
because It was a deliberate slight to
Rome.
Premier Canalejas, in a brilliant
speech, pithily summed up the dis
cussion. He declared that the papal
nuncio to Spain, andRome were re
ally acquainted with the bill, which
had been communicated to them In
writing. He added that he never
would submit to the holy see a ques
tion which pertained exclusively to
the sovereign will of the state.
The revision of the concordat of
1S51 hastened the cause of diplomatic
negotiations between liberal govern
ments In Spain and the Vatican. The
modifications sought affected chiefly
the clauses relating to liberty and con
science and education and the limita
tion of religious orders.
Dedicate University.
Cape Town, South Africa, Nov. 5.
University Hall, the principal build
ing of South Africa's proposed great
educational institution, had Its Incep
tion today when the Duke of Con
naught, brother of the late King Dd
ward, laid the foundation stone of
the edifice. The new university Is ex
pected to rank with those of England
America and will provide facilities for
higher education to the youth of the
new union of South Africa.
The parliament of the Union, which
was Inaugurated yesterday by th
Duke of Connaught, adjourned to
day, but will begin its actual law-making
grind next week. The race ques
tion, as relating to the granting of po
litical rights to the native negro pop
ulation, threatens to be a source of
bitter disagreements among the mem
bers of the new parliamentary body.
Football In West.
Chicago, Nov. 6. Purdue will be
the attraction on the University of
Chicago gridiron this afternoon, and
will probably prove easy victims to
the prowess of the Windy City boys
Next Saturday Chicago will meet Cor
nell at Ithaca In the first big inter

Michigan and Notre Dame play to
day at Ann Arbor, and the Michigan
eleven will have to fight hard to i re
