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,

other, whose name is unknown, a boat
steorer. THE PULLMAN STRIKE.
A Boycott On All Its Cars is Threat
ened. Chicago, June 22. 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

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.
