Iindon The dinner of the Pil grim Society tonight 'n honor of John Hays Hammond, special Amer ican Ambassador at the coronation, gave four speeches which were con ald'-red the beat example of after dinner oratory heard In London for a long time. The speakers were A. J. I!a!four. former Prime MIn!ntor; Mr. Hammond. AtiKiistin Hirrell chief secretary for Ireland, and f'hatincey M. Depew. Covers were laid for 2.'0. The army was represented by the American onVem who took Iart in the borne tdiow. There waa a scene of enthusiasm when a message was rend that as a result tf a conference between Secretary Knox. and Ambassador Itryce, a treaty had been virtually arranged for the arbitration of all difference between the I'nlted States and Great Britain. After a felicitous reference to the presence of Mr. Hammond, Mr. Hal four observed that American had their problems of empire and other difficulties, Just as Great Ilrltaln had. and . they could not help beina In sympathy with each other. Itotli countries were enamored of liberty; both had the same Ideals, and surely it war! predestined that in the world's history of the future they should work together not by formal alli ance, but by deep sympathy In alms and ideals for the cause of civiliza tion and progress.

Washington. neiilnnlnt? with Sen ator Cummins' atack today on the reciprocity measure, as legislation unjiu-t to the agricultural interests of the country, and concluding with Senator Borah's denunciation as a Republican betrayal of the farming interests, the Senate debate was all antagonistic to the agreement and critical of the President and his methods. The Senate gave only partial at tention to the speeches, although they were among the most Important that will be made against the bill. Several times a call of the Senate I was demanded, senator eison, or 1 Minnesota, finally proposed that as !so little attention was given to the subject, the Senate take a recess : until November or December, i Senator Cummins, who will con tinue his speech tomorrow, attacked rot only the construction of the re ciprocity agreement itself, which he said put the whole burden of free trade upon the farmer without giving ihim anv benefits In the guise of re iductlon' of duty on manufactured products, but he also criticised the i power exercised by the President to negotiate it and to brinsi it to the ! point of a definite agreement be tween the two countries. In doing this, Cummins said, the President had usurped the iiowers of Congress and had exceeded the power lodged In him to deal with foreign nations upon revenue ques tions. If a reciprocity agreement were to he made with Canada, he said, the original proposal should have come from Congress, Instead of through Presidential advances, which had brought the agreement to a point where Congress was assured it could not be changed or amended.

Washington Elmer Dover, former secretary of the Republican Na tional Committee, says he thinks the Republicans of Oregon are very much disposed to favor the renomi nation of the President, and no dis position is apparent to use the new voting system against him. Woodrow Wilson, he thinks, made a good Im pression among the Pacific Coast Democrats and will cut a prominent figure in the Democratic primaries in Oregon. Counterfeiters Caught. San Francisco A campaign of counterfeiting which has been suc cessfully conducted In every big city iof the Pacific Coast the past six months has been ended when Charles j Bush. 25 years old, and John Tilton, a cripple, 27 years old, were arrest ed at the Vincent Houee, Oakland, by Secret Service officer.

Hy action of Secretary Fisher of the Depart ment of Interior in officially approv ing the findings of Fred Dennett, commissioner of the land office, the famous Cunningham Alaskan coal claim were formally disallowed to day.' It wa these claim through which It ha been alleged that the Morgan Guggenheim syndicate made plan to extend their great interest in Alaska aud to secure control of one of the most valuable coal field In the world. Secretary Fisher' de cision today is believed to be vir tually the closing of the last door to the Cunningham claimants, whose claims have been held up since 1907, when they were first disapproved by Louis R. Glavls and H. T. Jones, aa special agents of the land office. Although attorneys for the claim ants have threatened an appeal to the Vnited State3 Supreme Court, such an appeal cannot be based on the findings of fact as announced by the ( department, which Secretary fisher says In his decision he con siders conclusive, but only on some point of law Involved. Since the Cunningham claims came Into public notice two years ago, they have caused the Balllnger-Pin-chot investigation by congress, and the dismissal from the public service of Glfford Pinchot, chief forester, aud Louis R. Glavls. chief of a field division in the land office, who had disapproved the claims, besides sev eral minor officials. The dismissal of both Pinchot and Glavls was brought about by their insubordina tion In attacking R. A. Ballinger, then secretary of the interior. POLK COUNTY BANK MONMOUTH, OREGON .

The Cana dian reciprocity bill emerged from Its first ordeal in the senate tonight unscathed. The Root amendment, proposing a modification of the wood pulp and paper section of the agree t i defeated after seven hours of debate, by an overwhelming vote. The friends of the amendment were so satisfied of its defeat that a roll call was not demanded. Senator La Follette announced that he would give the senate a chance tn nsa nn ceneral tariff amend ments for .free paper, free lumber and lumber products and for reduc tions in other schedules. Senator nnn also announced his intention of offering a free paper amendment later and other senators gave evi dence of their purpose of force con sideration of tailtf revision on me widest plane. Attack on the Root amendment was interspersed with attacks on the n-h.iio reeinronltv measure in the de bate which resulted in the defeat of Senator Root's proposal to change the house bill by requiring mat an Canadian provinces should remove their export restrictions on pulp wood and its products before the reciprocal features of the wood pulp and print paper section of the agree ment went into effect. Land May Be Condemned. Wnciiinp-tmi Renresentative Laffer- ty has been Informed by the director of the reclamation service that the west extension of the Umatilla pro ject is being materially delayed be cause of difficulties encountered in o,.,,i,-ircr m-ivate lands that will be overflowed after the construction of the West I'matilla dam. Owners of this land are asking prices that are Iml, v iha service to be excessive and it is probable that condemnation proceedings may be invoKea to ac thpm.

Wnsiiincrtnn As a sequel to the jnriinn nf the interior department canceling the Cunningham Alaskan r.i land elaims. Senator Poindexter, of Washington, introduced a resolu tion, which was immediately passed, calling upon the President for all avoiinhin information as to the al leged effort of the Controller Rail road Company to monopolize tne waterfront of Controller Bay, Alaska. This bay is the natural outlet of the rich Bering River coal fields. OfflCIALS II. HIRSCHDERG, President A. NELSON, Vice President C. V.
