Republican Platform. , The republican party ol Oregon, iu state convention assembled, proud of its record and past history, its devotion to the principles of human liberty and hu man rights, its great and imperishable names which lend principles for which it has contended iu the past in state, and national affairs and as an assur ance of its continued fidelity to the great principles for which it has contended in tho past in statu and national affairs, docs hereby make and allirm tho follow ing declaration of its principles: The events of the Into war in which Spain carried us into the Philippine Is lands. We bold it to bo consistent with the principles of liberty and of our na tional lifo that the sovereignty of the United States should be maintained in tho islands, under such local self-government as the people may bo, or may becomo, fitted to participate in. We therefore declare aguimt all proposals looking to the retirement of tho United States from the Philippine Islands. That in the war which President Roosevelt has inaugratcd nguinst tho gigantic combinations of incorporated capital he has the united and enthusias tic support of the republican party of Oregon. , Wo demand and insist upon the pas SHgaof the bill now eniling in congress for tho exclusion of Chinese, known as tha Mitcbell-Kithn exclusion bill, Wo reaffirm our allegiance to the principles of protection in necessary cases of industries still in their infancy or tumble to complete with foreign pro ductions. We recognise the right of labor to or ganise and combine (or mutual protec tion under the law, and we recommend that the legiHliituro enact all iiecessary legislation to protect labor in all lis rights and privileges, in tho interest of American labor aud tho upbuilding of tho workingman as tho corner itono of the prosperity of our country, wo re commend that congress creato a depart ment of labor in charge, ol a secretary, with a seat in the cabinet. Wo demand that a lnw bo passed by the next Icgixlaturo placing all public ollicers o( this stato upon reasonable salaries, which shall not be incroased during the Incumbent's term of otllcn, and beyond such Hilary they shall ro ccivo no compensation as fees or other wise. In order to promote tho development of the mineral resources of tho stato, wo aro in lavor of the creation and niiiin tainanco of a mining bureau by the state. We doclaro our approval and support of tho suggestions of President RoosO' volt (or tho irrigation of the arid lands 11I the country. This work should be undertaken by tho United States ns soon as possible, and carried forward 011 a consistent plan, under direction of thn general government. Wo urgo our representatives iu con gross and sonutors to use every effort to secure tho speedy opening of theColiim bia river between The liiillus and Celio, and (or cleitrini' the river o( all obstruc tions to navngatinn from its mouth to the head of huvngation. We urge also renewed and continued effort for I111 provement ( our coast harbors and streams within the state, and tho speedy construction of an Isthmian canal. That tliu public l i nils are Hie heritago of tho common people and should be helil in trust (or the use and benefit of all the people tinder the homestead laws. We are therefore unalterably 011 posed to nil plans, si-hemes or proposi tions (or leasing public domains, either to individuals or to corporations. Wo favor a policy by the state and the United States which shall further (ostor anil support our (liberies, and we reiiiest the legislature to enact such further measures ns may be found by experience necessary to obtain this re sult. We demand and insist upon the im mediate passage by congress of the United States of the oleomargarine liiil, known as the new Grout bill, now pend ing in the somite. That we (nvor the proposed amend ment to the state constitution providing (or the initiative am! referendum and recommend its adoption by the people of the stale. W declare our approval ol tho prin ciples i( the primary law enuctcil by the legislature ut tho He'sion of 1001, and wo ask Hie legislature to extend this law ho that in its main features It may apply to primary elections in all election precincts throughout the state, and we further recommend the election ol United States senators by popular vote.

Wahiiinutom, April 10th, 1002.: "I consider that we are making very satisfactory progress and I ha no hesitation la reiterating mj prediction tliat congress will adjourn between tba lOili and 16th o( June," said Senator Hale last Saturday when I asked him II be tliouglit that it would b possibl to accomplish th uecossarjr legislation bj that time. "Of courso, we could con tinue In session all summer," continued tho senator, "but that is not our in tention. W will dispose ol all -cnlial legislation. Th balance w will allow to go over to the short session or will avoid entirely. Ho, I cannot tell you anything more oi th program but I regard it as a perfectly sal prediction that adjournment will b taken at th time mentioned." The senator' state ment was received with the greateat latisfaction by other members of con gress to whom I mentioned it, especially by the representatives, as practically all are ansious to get home and many have considerable campaign work ahead of them. No sooner had the lenale passed th oleomargarine bill on Thunday, which was done by a majority ol eight vote, than the Chinese eiclusion bill was taken in). In order, howiver, that no time be waited, th Indian approprla tion bill waa called up and made th orilur of business (or "the morning hour." This means that the approprl tion bil! will be discussed ai soon as tbe daily routine btiiiuess ii disposed ol, each morning, and will occupy the floor until 2 p. in., when th exclusion bill will be th regular oratsr. Literally peaking, the morning hour la uiiinomer as the isuat doei not usually cotiven until noon, but th term ap plies to the interval between the hour ol convening and 2 p. m. It ii anticipated that other appropriation bills will fol low the Indian bill and will b con' idered in the same manner. As there is no party division on th question ol Chinese exclusion it i hoped that the bill may b passed without prolonged debate aud it will give place to th l'liillpplne civil bill, Tha latter ineaaui will bo in charge o( Benator UiJkb anil, while the dob its will doubt' less cover ta any sesiions bscause of the unanimous opposition on the democratic idenf the chamber, it will be conducted with the buiineii like expedition (or which the Junior senator from Massa chusells is noted. It ii eipected that Senator lloear will take aides with the lemocrata on this measure and If lis Iocs he will help to make the debits inturssting. The huusa of repioiotitatives is di poiiug of tho measure reported from Iti committee! with the esse and precision uf a well oiled machine arid, as a result it has accomplished an immense amount it work. The Chinese eiclusion bill are now being (Jisciisiea and will prou . V. I ., I.. ,1.. n.il ., (,, I ... I a h- . f. u unanimous consent. Tomorrow Mr. I'ayne will call up the ways and means committee bill authorising the president to grant reciprocal tariff concessions to Cuba and a brief but extremely Interest ing dnbato is promised. Th democrat are divided over the measure. Horn lik Hepreientallv McClellan, of New York, will leek to amend it by Increasing th tariff reduction and, that (ailing will vote for it.
