Washington, Mar. 17th, 1902. The 'most interesting aventi of tba past week in Washington have been the harmonising of the warring factions of the republican members: of the house of representative, tha energy with which the democrat! in tba senate bare re newed the agitation in favor of the election of senators by popular rote and tba ratification by the senate of the Hague treaty, formulated at tba Hague peace conference and by which it ia hoped to make warfare more human. While the term of agreement between the beet sugar ref ublicans, a they have come to be called, and tha republican organisation of tha bout have not been announced, It ia believed that they will be today and that they will bind the party to vote for the way and mean bill granting SO per cent reduction of the Dingley tariff rate on Cuban im port, to be met with similar reduc tion on American goods going into Cuba, the concession to be limited lo Septem ber 1st., 1003, and the whole accom panied by the pledge of the leader that the senate will not amend the measure by increasing the rate or extending the time limit. The accomplishment of this agreement will prove a disappointment to the democratic member who hoped to be able to secure, through the division of the republicans, aome reduction of the tariff on various schedules. It also mean, no doubt, that the bill proposed by Representative Babcock, of Wis consin, will not be considered at this session. The demand of Senator Berry, of Arkansas for a report on the joint resolu tion amending the constitution to per mit of tha election of senator by popular vote was met with the promise of Bennlor llurroos, chairman of the committee to which the resolution had been referred, that it wonld be reported in the near future and since then the democratic senators have been vigor ously agitating the question. Senator Vest, of Miesonri, ia opposed to the change and Senator Morgan, of Ala bama, declined to tell me where he stood, but the remainder of the detno cra.li: senators, most of whom I have spoken to on the subject, seem to favoi it and some of them say that they be lieve it will be made a campaign Issue if the resolution is defeated at this session. Colonel Bryan was at the capilol Tkurs day of laat week and saw many of ths sen' ators and representatives in regard to this question. Senator Burrows- was in the uiRrblerooin during Mr. Bryan's call and tbe Colonel remarked tobim that he was glad to know that there was one point on which he could agree with the enator from Michigan. Senator Bur row favor popular election. It Is a serious question whether the Hague treaty promotes the end desired. It ia favored by many humane persons because they hope to make war less terrible. Other equally humane coo tend lhat the more terrible war is, the more care nation will take to ratify the treaty. Following closely upon the resignation of Secretary Long comes the announce ment that Civil Service Commissioner Rodenberg has resigned his position, presumably for the purpose of entering the field of active politics. The ap pointment of Mr. Rodenberg' successor is awaited with considerable interest as upon the personnel of the commission depends, to a very large extent, the effectiveness and integrity of its work. Mr. Rodenberg was never regarded as a very strong advotRte of the principles which brought tha commission Into etislence but he lias carried out the provisions of the law none the less faithfully. Messrs. Proctor and Foulke, his associates, are both ardent advocates of civil service reform and the appoint ment of another enthusiast, which la ex pected ol the president, will render the commission a greater power for good than over. Tbe senate has devoted itself all the past week to the consideration of the ship subsidy bill although there is not the slightest reason to believe that a single vote has been changed by the debate. The measure comes to a vote today and the vote will doubtless be on strict party lines. Its sponsors, Senators Frye and Henna, express themselves as confideut that the bill will pas and will be received with approval by the house and will become a law ; but other republican tvnalora, although they refuse to ermit their names to be nsed. have told uie that they believe that it has little ehance in the lower chamber. After passing the rur. I free delivery bill, so amended as to provide fur a salary not to exceed fM0 per annum for rural carriers, the house turned it at tention to the consideration of the post' office appropriation bill and passed il on Friday. Saturday was devoted to the passage '.of private bills. Tnis is the sixth appropriation bill that the house hsa disposed of this session. A reeolo' lion wae adopted by the bouse on Friday aulboiiting the president to invito the families of the Count de Rochsmbeau, and the Marqnis de la Fayette, and tbe people of France to be present at tbe unveiling of the statue of Rochsmbeau at Washington on May 24th., and ap propriating f'JO.000 to defray the ex penses which would be Incurred. Tb president' veto of a hill remov ing tbe stigma of having been "a deserter from tbe navy" from the record of John Glass hi first veto, by the way has caused general reconsider ation of similar bill in tb committees of congress. These bill first provide that "honorably discharged" (hall be placed after the nam of men who bare deserted, aod sooner or later there p pear another bill affording tb former deeerter a pension. Msny of these bills have been passed lo former year and the president doubtlsae realised that the veto of tbe first such bill that came to him for approval would check tbe practice. I have in mind a simltsr, though not precisely analagous case, which happened dnring the fifty sixth congress, A bill was passed placing "honorably discharged" after the nam of a man who stood on the record as "dishonorably discharged." Later a bill was passed to correct en error in the case ef the same man. He ha been an officer and .twice court martialed for drunkenness,; the last instance having been while on duty In time of war. The last bill let forth .that "honorably dis charged'! waa an erroneous entry inasmuch a the man was an officer and bad not resigned and therefore he waa entitled to retired pay. He now draw the retired pay of a colonel. Mining Man in Ctxblnet. At a meeting of mining men held yesterday in the hall of tbe Oregon Mining Exchange, in the chamber of commerce bailding, resolutions were passed indorsing a bill now in congress to create a cabinet bureau representa tive of mining interests. A committee was also appointed to secure representa tion froaa all mining camps in the state to (orm a State Miner' Association , The object of the association is to foster the mining industry, to secure the enact ment of such laws as will be found de sirable, and to create the position of mining inspector. Dell Stuart was chairman of tbe meet ing, and Kenneth Evans acted as secre tary. The resolutions adopted by tbe meeting, copies of which will be for warded to the Oregon delegation in con gress, were as follows: Whereas: The mining Industry of the United State baa become, and now is on of tbe greatest sources of wealth to the nation ; and, Whereas: Tl is Industry is co-extensive with tbe limits of our national boundaries, and affords fields of invest ment and labor in every state and terri tory in the nation, employing capital and furnishing labor squal to any other industry; and it is important to all class es of our people that the mining indus try be fostered and encouraged ; and, Wbsreaa: A bill has been introduced in our congress providing for a cabinet department in the national administra tion, representative of milling interests; therefore, be it Resolved: That the mining interests of the state of Oregon, represented in this convention by piactical miners, mine-owner and investor of capital, respectfully urge upon congress the im portance of House bill 7105, and ask that It pass and become a law of the nation.

Eastern timber men are purchasing largely of Oregon forests lands, and those best posted on the business think heavy deals will be more numerous than ver iu 1002. Tbe Wood have been full of cruiser all winter, in spite of tbe dif ficulty encountered in tramping through wet underbrush all day, in making estimates on the amount of timber on each subdivision. The cruisers have only recently begun to return to the city, and they are at present In conference with their principals about the hotels and in tb business offices of the lull down-town buildings. Buyers are mostly men who have grown wealthy in the timber business in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. These men have seen th pine forests nsar the Great Lakes fall before the woodmen's ax within the past 30 years, and many of them remember how iu early daya pioneers wondered if the day would vei come whrn the forest would be denuded. They have setn the price of laud advance from $7.25 an acre a hundred fold, and they now realise that the supply of timber haa beea well nigh exhauated iu those three states, a bile tbe demand for the product has increased. They realise better than old Oregon ians do the value of the coast fir, sprues and larch, and so they have already made new fortune through the advance in price since the pressing demand for Oregon timber land began, fiva year ago. Ho many eastern lumberman have become owner ol northwest lands of late that they have decided lo visit Oregon in a body, in June. At least 150 lumbermen aud mill owners of the Mississippi vslley s'stea are already preparing to start from Chicago sad Minaeapolis esrly in that month, arriving here about th 12th. Telegram.
