PORTrXD, Ore, Oct. 2. Tied up
completely by the strike of union
shopmen the shops of tho Oregon
Washington Railroad nnd Navigation
company and tho Southern Pacific
in Portland attempted to operate this
inoruing with less than n score cf
union men nt tho machines. The
shops usually employ 1500 men.
At the Oregon-Washington Rail
road and Navigation shops in Albi
nn, five union men appeared for
work. During the forenoon 25 strike
breakers were rushed inside the
stockade, which is being strength
ened by tho addition of two inch
planks on the west side.
Specinl gunrds employed by the
railroads nnd the union pickets chat
ted pleasantly and no disorder
mmnrked the formal opening of the
strike here, which will result either
in rorognition of the system federa
tion, or tho wreckage of its pawer.
Reports from 10 divisions in Ore

thnt practically every shopman went
out. The exact number who appeared
at work today could not bo ascer

lorted that very few proved loyal to
the railroads. Union lenders hero
claim that fully 2500 men in the

The charge is that Stephenson con
tributed more than $107,000 for the
promotion of his interests at n sena
torial primary election in 100S nnd
that his political workers violated the
law in the use of much of the fund.
Two hundred witnesses have been
summoned to appear before the com
mittee. Among those whose testi
mony is considered important are E.
A. Edmonds, Appleton, Wis., Ste
phenson's enmpnign manager, who is
nlleged to have spread tho aced mil

LONDON. OcL 2. Whether tho

guns, lies i nruins at the western en
trance of the Dardanelles or is safe
in the harbor of Constnntinople, is
today the biggest mystery of the gi
gantic stnigglo between the Turk and
the Latin.
Dispatches from correspondents at
Rome persist in the report that tho
Ottoman nrmamada wns practically
destroyed in nn engagement with the
Italian squadron, only a single ship
remaining afloat. The Italian mm.
istcr of marine declares that the ltal-
Stcphenson's election to that body in )stcr o "n6 declares that the ltal
1908 was attended with corrupt "nrncM irtn fleet fe5 tt 'Hagle'Sivmon of tlie
Turkish navy, sinkinc three battle
ships and damaging the others ter
ribly. The Turkish marine minister
admits the loss of oulv a sinclo
cruiser, declaring that the rest of tho
tiect is safe in Constantmople. Pri
vate advices here today assert that
Admiral Bucknom of tho Turkish
fleet, and W. S. Lendbetter, his seo
ond in command, both Americans,
have resigned their commissions in
Hie Turkish navy rather than re
nounce their American citizenship as

It is reported that droailinc tlm nnn.

It is believed tho Sultan has aban

Ho fears, however, that tho fnimtiu
