Washington, April 13 Senator Mitchell of Oregon, spoke against the Wilson bill today. He declared the passage of the bill would be a legislative recognl tlon of a most dangerous economy and constitutional heresy. He condemned the ad valorem syBtem and dis cussed wool at length, pronouncing the schedules arbitrary and unjust, because they protected the manufacturer and not the producer and favored foreign ers. He said the placing of wool on the free list was a most visionary fallacy, and that clothing was now cheaper than before the passage of the McKin ley bill. Ba.rley, hops, plums and prunes also received attention. All agricultural products, he said, fell under the blight ing influences of the Wilson bill, and quoted from a speech of Voorhees de livered in 1881 proving him once a pro tectionist. He said the bill was based on no defln.te 'policy of customs taxa tion and was sectional, un-American. un-Democratic and un-Republican. A great part of his speech was given up to a discussion of the wool schedules, which he declared were arbitrary and unjust, placing this great industry on a sacrificial altar and offering it as a sac rifice to the averice of foreign wool growers, and to some extent th .(f eastern manufacturers, and trans ferring to their coffers the bulk of the f500,000,000 invested in sheep and wool Such a bill, which vouchsafed protec tlon to manufacturers and refused to extend it to those engaged in the sheep Industry, which favored Uie foreign producer at the expense of the home producer, was one which discriminated unjustly, unnecessarily, mercilessly and cruelly against the agriculturist and in favor 'of the manufacturer, against America and in favor of the foreigner. No state in the union had, In propor- tlon to its population, so much money Invested In sheep and wool as Oregon amounting as it did to over $31, to 7 3-4 head of sheep and to 48 pounds of wool for each man, woman and child In the state. He argued that no greater fallacy was ever entertnined by a vis lonary theorist than that of placing wool on the free list. The clothing of the masses of the people would be cheaper. That wai the sole reason as signed by the Democracy for Its ac tion. Arguing against this aFsumption Mitchell sold: "The whole history of doctrine ani the practical effect of doctrine, and doctrine of protection af forded conclusive answers to this here sy. And the very fact that all kinds of woolen clothing are today Infinitely cheaper In this country than they were prior to the levying of the McKlnley tariff on woolens in 1890. That is of Itself a sufficient answer to this argu ment, but the real answer Is -to be found in the logical economic deduc tion which must follow, and which In variably does follow, in the wake of a policy which subordinates the great wool industry of this country to that of foreign producers of wool, whether In Australia, Argentine Republic, South Sea Islands or elsewhere." ' coward and craven." He did not at tempt to assert that his client was free from fault, but that Just as far as bhe had strayed from the path of womanly virtue, she had been led by this man. On two or three important points he drew logical deductions from the evi dence which surprised even the law yers. He has a long right arm, tipped with an accusing index flneer. which serves to drive his deductions home. That long, bony forefinger was several times leveled An denunciations at Col. Breckenridge,' which made the Ken tucky orator shift, restlessly In his chair. It was, a terrible arraignment to which he was subjected, and he would have been something less than hunun should he not have shown the effect of it, as he did.' Judge Wilson will con tinue for an indefinite time tomorrow. and then Judge Bradley will deliver his charge to the jury. THE HOP OUTLOOK. Encouraging? Reports From the Hop A Growers. KAMI. LOCATIOV.

Judge Kradley Will Deliver His Charge to the Jury Today. Washington, April U Judue Jere Wilson to day replied to the attacks upon Mis3 Pollard. He stood ready to demnad the same standard for men as women. American girls need no chaD- eron, and the speaker expected to hear that gray-haired men .of 47 need no I body guard. Bpeakin? of the statement i I of the opposition that suit should nev-r hav been brought and the de-tails given publicity, he asked If thre was no redress. Polluters of women cannot be locked up, but redress could be had. "The defense of Adam" was what he I called Col. Breekenridge's proportion. and to the credit of humanity," he I wild, "Adam always has been deemed a Salem, April 13. The hop growers es timate the Increased acreage In the Willamette valley at 3,000 acres, and the yield this year at 60,000 poles, as against 38,000 last year. No lice have yetj appeared on the plants, and tho crop is being contracted for at frotw 12 to 13 cents. IN THlS YAKIMA VALLEY. Tacoma, April 13. The reports from the hop growing districts of Washing ton show that the hop roots are Just peeping above the surface. Thev arp two or three weeks backward, owine to the late spring. Intelligent growers estimate, the Increase In acreage at 2D per cent, and think the Increase In the yield will be about the same propor tion. Most of the Increase Is In the Yakima valley. The vines, so far as reported, seem In good condition. PROSPECTS IN CALIFORNIA. San Francisco, April 13. The hop prospects In California are to a great extent dependent upon the amount or tain within the next 1G days. Sacra mento reports in. many Instances the roots in an unhealthy state, and many thousands have been used for replant ing bl'd"flel(ls. Th cause of the poor roots Is ascribed to the late cultivation and poor trimming. The Increased acre age is estimated at 20 per cent. Uklah reports the wintering of the plants has been excellent, and all signs point to a yield equal to that of last year. The acreage has been Increased at least 5 per cent. With a few spring showers the yield will be very large. Santa Rosa reports the yards in Bood condition and growers are much en couraged. The estimated yield will ex ceed that of last year 500 or 700 bales. About COO bales of last year's crop re main unsold In the county. Healdsburg reports that the season nas been a dry one, but the growers ex pect fully as large a yield as last year. The Great Northeru Com pletely Tied up. MEN QUIET ' BUT DETERMINED The Strikers are Backed by (lie Business Men and Trades Unions. Arsoclated Press. Helena, Mont., April 13. The Indica tions are that the Great Northern rood will be tied up today from Spokane, Wash., to Larlmore, N. D., a distance of several hundred miles, by a strike of the American Railway Union, em bracing all employes except superinten dents and trainmasters. The men here went out at noon today. The cause of the strike Is a new schedule of wages. LATER. Helena, Mont., April 13. A strike on the Great Northern and Montana Cen tral system was peacefully inaugurated today at noon. Some time since the officials of the Great Northern issued a new schedule to govern the varlouB employes, This was to go Into effect on the 1st of April, and made sweeping reductions in the wages of all the em ployes. Tho men would not accept It, and it was hung up awaiting the return of President Hill from, Europe. Since his return he has ordered that the schedule be enforced, and rather than accede to the demands, which they con sidered unjust, the men left work at noon today.. The strike extends from Larlmore, N. V., to Spokane, and l.COO men are now out, 200 of that number being In this city. ; The only trains leaving Helena ioday were two. freights, one eastbound and the other west bound. They will be allowed to pro ceed to their destinations. mault to send any naval vessels north, and In all probability the Americans will have to do police duty alone next summer. Several vessels have been chartered to take fuel and supplies to the Unalaska. headquarters of the American fleet. SEVERAL MISSING. Many Vacant Places This Morning at Breakfast.

The Demo cratic members of the house don't hope for a quorum until Tuesday, but count upon the adoption then of the pending rule fining members who do not re spond to the roll calls. The Republic ans refused to vote on the approval of tho Journal and raised the uqestlon of no quorum, and being 2 votes short of a quorum, the house adjourned at noon. The Democrats cheered the announce ment of a Demorratlc caucus to con sider tho rules. Spokane, April 13,-The Great North ern is tied up from Spokane to Great Falls, Mont., most of the men on the Kallspell and Montana divisions and Montana Central being out.
