MORTON GIVES SOME ADVICE
He Tells me Farmers tbe Importance

THE WRONG IDEA OF IT
Grange and Alliance Organilatlona, at at
Present Constituted are Denounced
by the Secretary.
Associated Press.
Chicago, Oct. 18. Secretary of agrl
culture Morton spoke on the silver
question before the national commis
sion today. He gave the populists a
touching up incidentally. He spoke In
part as follows:
"To be sure as your president has In
timated, underlying 'all the sciences
and arts Is agriculture, and It has Just
begun to dawn upon agricultural
minds that It needs Individual devel
opment and self reliance, In each cltl
zen rather that a gregarious organisa
tion which may be deputized or given
power of attorney to think fo rthe
farmers. We all understand that so
far the grange and alliance organiza
tions have attended to something else
than farming. They have been worked
to use the parlance of the day, by Jour
neymen farmers, who, for political pur
poses, have farmed the farmers. These
organizations, as a rule, have attended
to everything except agriculture. The
many fallacies which have been evolv
ed for the allurement of the former,
are very catching. The teaching of
many of the Journeymen formers has
been to the effect that the money of
the country is simply a legal friction.
That which our people need first and
foremost is an honest, unfluctuating
measure of values. If gold Is the best
money In the world, then the United
States wants gold.
OREGON'S GAUNTLET.
Our State Defies the Whole World -to
Compete With Her Fruit Display.
Chicago, Oct. 18. Dr. Jay Guy Lewis,
general superintendent for the Oregon
exhibits at the World's Fair, has is
sued the following:
"Under the present system of awards
some dissatisfaction will be expressed,
and that each state and county may
have a chance to enter into friendly
competition, the state of Oregon,
through its legal representative, here
by challenges the world to compete
on the following terms and conditions:
Apples, embracing thirty or more va
rieties, shall be the fruit entered. Each
state or county entering, shall deposit
$100 with C. G. Wright, superintendent
of Pomology.
The Judges are to be appointed as
follows:
Each state entering to select one
Judge, they to elect one or two as the
case may be, so that the number of
Jurors shall be uneven In numbers. Col.
Brackett Is acceptable to the state of
Oregon as a committee on nomencla
ture.
The money collected as an entrance
fee to be used by some one selected
by the states entering who shall have
a suitable medal made to be given to
the state receiving the highest award.
AN ENORMOUS LOSS.
Dig

Gibbons' Jubilee.
Baltimore, Oct. 18. -At the festlvltlea
i honor of the Episcopal Jubilee of
Cardinal Gibbons, the pope's lettel of
congratulation to the cardinal ' was
read, followed by an interesting feature
Dr. McCarty brought out the phon-j-graph
and those who were near enough
could heal a message in the pope's
well modulated tones: "From the City
of Rorr.e, Leo XIII Bends to the people
of America cordial greetings and best
wishes. MoBt heartily do we congrat
ulate the country, -flourishing In civi
lization and wealth and the glory of
growing Industries. We take pleasure
In the Joy and honors fittingly ren
dered to Cardinal Gibbons. We wish

copious Increase of happiness and
pleasure. The pilgrims of the Cath
olic church we embrace with you, and
especially w bestow upon them our
(ipostolllc benediction." .
IVL'S" GENERALSHIP. ,
Ho Scores Another Distinct Success
with the Northern Pacific.
New York, Oct. 18. Not only. -has
Brayton Ives succeeded In obtaining
control of the company, but he has
harmonized the great financial inter
ests which are the chief creditors of
the Northern Paclflov and will have
their support In pushing the Interests
of the 'company. Ivea very modestly
declines to say anything about the
presidency . of the road, saying that
this was a -matter for the directors,
but all indications point to him as the
new chief eexcutlve. Isaac Anderson,
who heads the directors' ticket. Is
resident of Tacoma, Wash., and
interested in several banks and trust
companies. He Is one of the most in
fluentlal men In Tacoma, and will look
after the interests of the road In his
vicinity.
DOINGS IN THE) HOUSE.
Geary and Warner Get Into a Very
. Heated Discussion.
. Washington, Oct 18. The remainder
of the week In the bouse promises to
be exceedingly dull. It was decided

ing the morning hour the bill to reduce
and regulate fees and work of the Unlt-
and terms made made by district attor-
d States district and circuit courts
r.eys, marshals and commissioners,
was taken up and passed. Geary then
called up the New Jersey bridge bill
DeWltt Warner, of New- York, and
Geary almost came to blows In a dis
pute over an amendment to the hill
after which It passed.
AMERICAN EXPRESS ROBBERY.
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 18. The Amer
ican Express people are very reticent
about the disappearance of $50,000, as
reported last night. The rumor Is cur
rent that the amount Is a quarter of
a million.
Now. York, Oct. 18. An official of
the American Express Co. says . that
$50,000 was sent from New York to
New Orleans, and that, when the safe
was opened at St. Louis, en route,
there appeared to be a shortage of
$22,000. Mistakes sometimes happen
ed, he said, and nothing could be added
till advices were received from the
western manager that the money was
actually lost.
BIG SEIZURE F OPIUM.
San -Francisco, Oct. 18. Word was
received today that Revenue Agent B.
M. Thomas had discovered an opium
factory In Oakdale, Stanislaus county,
and had secured a large quantity of
crude opium and about one thousand
5-tael tins filled with dope. . The seiz
ure is a big one as near as can be
learned. It Is believed that considera
ble more opium will yet be found.
ANOTHER BUILDING STARTED.
S-in Francisco, Oct. 18. The contract
for the erection of the administration
building of tho midwinter fair has been
let, the contract price being $30,000.
The work of construction will begin at

the end of the month will probably be
In tho hands of the decorators. The
cash collected to date amounts to over
$224,000.
THE PRESS-TIMES IN TROUBLE.
Seattle, Oct. 18. The Evening Press
Times passed into the hands of a re
ceiver today upon the application of
the Puget Sound Katlonal bank, which
forecln.ied upon the stock for a loan of
$21,000. Thomas H. Pidduck, the bus
iness manager, was made receiver.
Nearly all of the stock was owned by
Wm. E. Bailey.
. - NO TRUTH IN IT.
Omaha, Oct. 18. The rumor that the
receivers of the Union Pacific are con
templating as a first step towards put
ting their property In a stronger shape,
the abrogation of the contract' made a
number of years ago between tho Un
ion Pac Iflcand the North Western, Is
strenuously denied at headquarters.

of a British ' steamer which arrived

Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 13. On reconvening
this morning tho senate listened to
Morgan, of Alabama, on the motion
of Dolph, of Oregon, to amend Mon
day's Journal so as to show the pres
ence of Allen, .Allen having failed to
answer when his name was called
Morgan devoted most of his remarks
to a reply to Hill's speech of yesterday
At the conclusion of Morgan'B speech
Voorhees moved to lay on the table
the motion of Dolph to amend the
Journal. This was agreed to. Yeas,
45. Nays, 3.
The democratic senators have again
a committee to worE'upon the silver
problem with the understanding that
the committee is also to make recom
mendations as to whether a democratic
conference shall be called upon tho
subject. The committee Is making an
effort to agree upon a compromise
measure which the repeal democrats
will accept for submission to the pro
posed conference In case It Is called.
Opinions differ as to whether there will
be a forma conference or a comprom
Ise submitted to the Individual sen
ators for endorsement The preponder
ance of opinion Is favorable to the
conference plan.
Voorhees said today that he would
make an effort to continue for the
present the recess system inaugurated
last evening. His plan Is to have the
senate sit from 10 to 0 p. m. He Is of
the opinion that this will pro'ye the
best plan for turning out the-work
and getting rid of long speeches, He
expresses the opinion that the end of
the long debate is near, and intimates
that tho present week may close It
Vest Is circulating a call for a cau
cus of all the democratic senators. It
pledges them to abide by tho result If
any "Is reached. The sliver men are
signing it readily, but the repeal men
are holding off. It Is doubtful whether
Gorman will issue a call unless the de
sire fort seems pretty general, as it
is likely to do more harm than good.
Teller, republican ,of Colorado, mov
ed to amend the Journal so that would
show his presence on certnln roll calls
when he did not respond to his tin me,
and he addressed the ncm.tc. He
quoted from a statement of Carlisle
in regard to insisting upon the passage
of the repeal bill, and said: . "What
right has the secretary of the treasury
to Interfere with us In this matter? I
resent It myself, as a breach of privi
lege, When we surrender our convic
tions, whether It bo on the advice of
the president or on account of the
public Clamor, the degradation of tho
senate will begin and its usefulness
will be at an end."
Rising to a question of privilege,
Senator Voorhees characterized as a
figment of the Imagination the state
ment published this morning that there
had been a meeting of the finance com
mittee at which Voorhees wts sup
posed to have stated by authority that
no compromise would take place on the
repeal bill In which he or the admin
istration could be considered as an
actor.
Mills said: "I do not blame the mi
nority; I blame the majority fo rslt
tlng still like children and permitting
the government to be paralyzed. You
cannot pass an appropriation bill or a
bill reducing taxation, nor help com
merce, because the senate has left its
rules and abdicated Its power. The
Issue has entirely changed, and It's
useless to discuss the wisdom or folly
of the repeal of the Sherman law. The
whole question which the American
people have the deepest Interest In to
day is "shall the majority or the mi
nority of tho legislative branches rule?'
I am asked tauntingly whether I will
go and carry Into execution whatever
the majority in the caucus shall write
down. I say without hesitation, 'No.'
I have not reached that point of self

There was a time when I talked of a
compromise, but since th echief of th
democratic administration was charged
with infidelity, to- his party, and there
was the beginning of an anti-admlnls-tratlon
party in the senate, I cut my
bridges' and burned them behind nic '
on the. subject of a compromise. I am
a democrat wh OHtands by the organ-

ile spell of bronchitis and spasmodic
