SENATOR CALL'S EASY MANNERS The .James Allen Wreck Continued, Only Five Savcd-Pullniiin To tie lioycotted. Associated Press. Washington, June 22. The house bill to incorporate the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, was reported fav orably and immediately passed by the senate today. The following bills were also passed. An act appropriating J40.000 for tests of American timber by the forestry di vision of the agricultural department, and to make the tlrst Monday in Sep tember (Labor Day) a legal holiday. The income tax schedule of the tariff bill was then taken up. Kyle made a general argument In its favor. Senator Call, of Florida, shocked the spectators In the gallery by removing his shoes and elevating his "sky-blue" stockings to a neighboring desk while he fanned himself with a pulmleaf. Teller supported the income tax propo sition. He quoted the utterances of the leaders of the Republican party, Oliver P. Morton, Senator Sherman and Sena tor Morrill, who had advocated such a tax In the past. Sherman followed Teller in opposl tion to the income, tax. Patton, the new Republican senator from Michigan, followed in a set speech against the general features of the tariff bill. Allen, Populist, replied to the idea covertly and openly advanced by the opponents of the income tax that the Populists had no regard for property. Hj declared vehemently that congress was in the hands of the money power. By legislation forced by the monied In fluence, fabulous and dishonest fortunes had been built up In this country. For weeks a railroad magnate had sat In a committee room trying to shape Im portant legislation. "If you want any proof of that I will give it to you,' he shouted dramatically. "Name him," said Walsh. "I will name him to a committee of the senate, if you want," said Allen. "You talk of relieving the demands of the people," interrupted Hill, ."why did you vote against free sugar?" Allen said he had voted for a duty on sugar because Harrison had left a bank rupt treasury when he left the white house. ; : At G o'clock Hill, who desired to re ply to some of the remarks made today, asked Harris, who was in charge of the bill, to yield to an adjournment, as the senate had been sitting eight hours at a temperature in the chamber of 85. Harris said he regretted that he could not comply with the request. "X will not move to adjourn as long as I can hold u quorum here," said he, "or as long as there is any means of obtaining a quorum." Hill called attention to the fact that this was the first time this privilege had been refused. "I think it cruel, unjust and unworthy of the senator from Ten nessee that he seeks to crowd me to night, when I desire to reply to the ar guments made today." "I accept the result of the responsi bility most cheerfully," replied Harris, in a disgusted tone. "I will make the senator accept other responsibilities," said Hill, his eyes flashing. The New York senator was evidently thoroughly aroused. i "Proceed," ejaculated Harris, without rising from his seat. "I will not be ordered by you," said Hill turning upon the senator from Tennessee. "I will have none of your plantation manners exhibited toward me." "Neither do I care for your exhibition of the manners of the slums of New York," retorted Harris, hotly, rising to his feet. "They are better than those of the plantations of Tennessee," said Hill. Harris made no reply and Hill pro ceeded with his remarks. When Harris, realizing that he could not force the New York senator, mancouvered so that a vote was had upon an important ver bal amendment, and this disclosing the absence of a quorum, he moved an ad journment. In doing so he gave notice that tomorrow he should ask the senate to sit till the tarlfT bill was finally com pleted in committee of the whole and reported to the senate. At 7:10 the sen ate adjourned. THE HOUSE. The Hatch Anti-Option Bill Finally Passed. Washington, June 22. Immediately on the convening today the bouse wenfc Into committee of the -whole on the anti-option 1.111. Aldrlch, of Illjn- lis, offered an 'amendment Inserting flour In tho list of agricultural products affected by the bill, and it was adopted on a division by a vote of 93 to 33. The committee of the whole, by a vote of 81 to 74, adopted an amendment ex empting 30-day options from the provi sions of the bill. Hatch and others, fimld great confusion, raised the point of no quorum. Hatch said the amend ment destroyed the bill. On a demand from him for tellers, the vote on the amendment was 92 to 92. It was there by lost, being a tie. The Cot aitwhdment, excepting sales for future delivery from tho operations of the bill whenever the seller Is the bonaflde owner of the property, was adopted, and the bill finally, passed, by a vote of 150 to 83. TUB BARK JAMBS ALLEN. News of the Wreck Confirmed, With Survivors Names. Port Townsend, June 22. The barken tine John Wooster, 11 days from Una laska, arrived today with five of the crew of the lately wrecked whaling bark James Allen. The news received con firms the report of the wreck of the Allen, and reports that 41 men, includ ing Capt. Huntley and the first nnd sec ond officers, are missing. The vessel is a total wreck. Two men-of-war visited the scene of the disaster two weeks later and found, not a vestlgo of the wreck. ; Following are Che names of the crew saved: Joseph Dewatt, third officer; Charles Mclntyre, fourth officer; John Roath, boatsteorer; Tom Gordogp, cook; Peter Peterson! seaman; Max Gohore, seaman; Fred.

Unless the Pullman Company agrees to arbitrate the differ ences with its strikers, a boycott of all its cars in the United States, Canada and Mexico is to be instituted by the American Railway Union, to take place at noon next Tuesday. A notice to this effect waB served on the ofllcern of the company this afternoon. DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW. Promises of Trade Improvement Not Borne Out. New York, June 22. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review Bays: "The week has been rich In promise, but poon In production. It was promised that the exports of gold would cease, but they have not. It was promised that the end of the coal strike would bring a recov ery of that Industry, but a partial re sumption of work discloses a compara tive scantiness of demand for Its pro ductions. Operations In wheat advanced the price 1 3-4, though the western re ceipts were only 1,381,510 bushels, as against 2,220,915 last year. The Atlantic fxports were only 1,553,933 bushels, as against 2,502,9S0 last year. It was con fidently expected that the settlement of the tariff rates on textiles would Im prove the manufacture of them,' but there Is scarcely an evidence of suoh as yet. The failures during the week are 214 in the United States, against 273 last year, and 25 in Canada, against 14 last year." COVERNMENT TELEGRAPH. The. Typographical Union Favorable To It. Washington, June 22. A delegation of the International Typographical Union appeared before the house ctmmlt'.ee to day to advocate a government tele graph. William McCabe, of Washing ton, was the spokesman. He urged that the government control of ths telegraph lines would lead to the establishment of more newspapers, thereby giving em ployment to printers now out of work. When asked If any party secured any advantage through the existing asso ciations, McCabe replied that from his recent experience in the editorial chair of a dally paper, the news of the Asso ciated PreEB was more- reliable and un biased than that furnished by the United Press. A FATAL QUARREL. Prominent St. Loulsian Bookkeeper. Stab Hie St. Louis, June 22. Dr. C. F. Bim mons, president of the Simmons Medi cine Co., and the superintendent of Cen tenary Methodist Episco)l Sunday school, today stabbed his bookkeeper, John McBain, over the heart, Inflicting a fatal wound. They quarreled regard ing the accounts of the company. THE WEATHER TODAY. Portland, June 22. For Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho: Fair weather and warmer. HOT AND STAGNANT Portland Dangerously Near the Line of Epidemics. A MILLION NOT TOO MUCH Caresnl Estimates Place the Actual Loss by the Flood Over That High Figure. Special Correspondence of the Astorlan, Portland, June 21st, 1894. The Orego- nian's pig-headed attitude with regard to the flood In this city and the Infernal (not eternal) vigilance that has been ex ercised both over Its editorial and news columns in order to suppress any more facts concerning the calamity than the proprietors of the paper thought it mlghb be wholesome for the outside world to know, has, like virtue, become Ita own reward. A combination of pe culiar circumstances has opened the eyes of people In three states to Its actions, and given whatever reputation for veracity It over possassed a very, very black eye. Hundreds of storekeep ers throughout the northwest have been put to considerable trouble, awing to the non-receipt of goods from the big job bing houses of this city and the delay ing of urgent orders for several weeks. Whllo to some small extent the stop page cf railroad traffic has helped to bring this condition about, It is, of course, very largely due to the flood, whi'.'h has practically caused a stand still In the jobbing business of Portland. These storekeepers have written to their wholesalers demanding the cause of the delay, nnd in return the wholesale men have replied unanimously that the Inundation and consequent confusion have left themi Incapable, for some weeks, of filling orders with their usual promptitude. The storekeepers, reading the Oregonlan, noted with perplexity Its statements, brassy and oft-repeated, that "the damage was nominal," "the stoppage of business nil," etc., etc., and have finally been placed as judges be tween the veracity of their wholesale friends on tho one hand and Mr. Scott on the other. The conclusions they have arrived at, guided by years of fair deal ing with the jobbing houses, has been anything but flattering to the venerable Jupiter who sways the sceptre of ego tism over the destinies of the Oregonl an. Henceforth these storekeepers, In many cases among the most prominent men In cities all over the Pacific Coast, have turned the chromo-lllhograph of the Oregonlan building to the wall, and, taking a last fond gaze at the big tower that looks like a well, have banished from their minds forever the dream that it is, was or ever could be, a well of truth. In short, the Portland daily's latest attempt to foist a plain He down the throats of Its readers has been bowled over by the contrary evidence of many of the most honest and true- spirited citizens of Its own locality. It was a fitting end to such an exhibition of gall. Next week the editor will try to fiuonier out of the troubl-3 by eat ing crow and becomlug suddenly aware thet the damage was far greater than WB at first believed possible." In many localities today another scorching sun, beating down with con siderable severity, brought up fresh odors more overpowering and sickening than ever. I took Mr. Duffy down into the flooded district this morning, but when we got as far as the Bank or British Columbia he respectfully, but earnestly, declined to go another yard, and made a break for the upper levels and a pure atmosphere with a speed that stamps him as a good three to one chance In the next Astoria sporting tournament ThJ chloride of lime sprinkled by the barrel about the cellars and pavement of the Dekum building struggled hard with the accumulation of malodorous smells for the topmost place, and It was simply a race between each of these two "elements" to reach the olfactory porves of the passer-by before the other. The result can be better Imagined than de scribed. In the north end of tho city the proportion of peoplo who have taken sanitary precautions is so small that the opposition odor has almost undisputed sway, and sick headaches, those fre quent precursors of worse evils, attack ed numbers whoe business compelled them to pass through this district to day. Meantime, the local newspapers Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report rl ABSOlUSEQf PURE continue to preach optimism, an exhibi tion of stupidity tiiat will bear fruit in the next few weeks, If natural laws and outraged ethics of health go for any thing at all. People In Astoria, living In these summer months In the midst of cool life-giving ocean breezes, with a river actually In front of them, the winds of which would blow any epi demic out of their city in 24 hours, can have little realization of the foul air In which nearly 7,000 people of .Portland are today eating, drinking and sleep ing. When In the course of time, as will undoubtedly happen, a subscription list for the amelioration of the condition of these families Is opened, residents of Oregon's seaport should, and no doubt will, respond to the call with their ac customed liberality. Mr. Holman'a half million dollar esti mate of Portland's losses will, I think, prove short of the correct figures by a little over 100 per cent. Judging by the estimates I have already given your renders, based on absolute statements of the sueffrers themselves; hy the daily uncovering of fresh details of loss; by the gradually Increasing despondency :f many heavy losers, It really seemj that tl.000,000 will not cover the damage done. Outside of the wrecking of per sonal fortunes, however, and the blow sustained uy men who have bub lately recovered from the financial panic of a year ago, and for which they will have hearty sympathy everywhere, the actual present loss of dollars and cents 1m nothing In comparison with the question asked at the beginning of these ar ticles: "How will the flood affect the future prosperity of the city of Port land generally?" The only answer that arls?s at the present moment. Is one that had better bo suppressed, temporarily. Croaking should not be In order just now, and time Itself will bring the reply more surely than any present prediction or deduction. The long-headed business men of Portland, whose whole Interests are bound up In the matter, already begin to see what that nepljr will be. W. P. Connlway, a prominent mem ber of the grand lodge A. O. U. W now In this city, and a well known mer chant of Independence, stated today that the property on Front, First and Second would depredate In value so quickly that Its owners' heads would swim to think about it. Moreover, voic ing theM sentiments of many other to day, ha believes, Unless Immediate steps are taken to preseive intact the Job bing business of Portland by some strenuous means, that she will begin from now on to lose a large portion of her trade In this line. The ort-ex pressed platitudes' of the Oregonlan, to which was added yester day the testimony of Mr. Holman con cerning the "Impossibility of such un other flood for hundreds of years, ar not borne out by facts or by the Ideas of Weather Observer Pague himself, If we look Into the matter correctly. All old Oregonlnns wiy tell you that the experience oi the past 30 years In this state points to the undoubted fact that our climate is changing tvery year, and you can no more measure next year's barometric leadings by Inst year's ta bles than you can depend on the sun to give the same amount of warmth on day and the next. To prophecy that we will not have such another flood as the present calamity for any stated length of timo Is the height of foolishness, for, though it is true that peculiar condi tions, as Mr. Holman points out, existed this year to bring about the overflow, there is no limit to the various other conditions that might also help towards the sonve result. No matter what soph istrles are employed or what specious arguments are used to show that Port land never did have before, and never can have again, such a disastrous cir cumstance happen to her, she In placed. Irrevocably by that circumstance In ths roll of "cities liable toi flood and sup pression of all business," and as such stands with a black mark ngulnst her name well known and understood In the proper circles mainly those of capital seeking Inventment. Men actually cams here a month ago from Philadelphia looking for good, safe chances for the money of several prominent Individuals of that city. They did not close a single deal. The flood scared the flaps of their pockets so much that they shut of their own accord. Mr. O'Bhea, the genial and popular manager of the Union Meat Co., takes his company's heavy loss philosophical ly. Ho told me today that the damage to their property would be, as nearly as he can figure, $4,600. (Continued on Second Page.) rP&k R O 11 VviiivSU X
