WASHINGTON, April 15.-After a
day devoted to routine proceedings, the
Senate was treated to a spirited speech
by Bailey just before adjournment, on
the question of the efvil serviee. Bailey
announced in plain terms that he had
no sympathy -with the irridlseent dream
of civil service. He declared that each
party should control the patronage
while in power and vowed himself a
spoilsman. Hale; was in aeeordance
with much that Bailey said, but thought
Congress could not be induced to change
the law. The Panama canal bill occu
pied the major portion of . the session,
and was passed without division.
Kpooner made a vigorous speech in sup
port of the bill and was replied to by
Mr.' Morgan.
President Is Criticised.
Washington, April 15. Consideration
of the general deficiency bill was re
sumed in the House today after a num
ber of minor bills had been passed .
The President's recent order regarding
service pensions was attacked by Un
rlerwood, of Alabama, .who contended
that there was no warrant in law for
it. The President was also criticised
by Hay, of Virginia, because of certain
suspensions of the civil serviee rules
and regulations. The general debate on
the deficiency bill will close tomorrow
and the bill will be read for amend
ment. ''
Must Attend to Business.
Washington, April 15. The non
attendance of the Republican members
of the House in what are considered the
closing days of the session is 'causing
some vexation to the managers of that
body. A circular was mailed tonight to
the Republican membership, signed by
Representative Tawney, the "Republi
can whip," and issued at the request
of Speaker Cannon, calling attention in
no uncertain language to the ecessity
of attending to business.
HOW IN IDAHO.
Iatest Reports From the Progress
V the Willamette University
Glee Club. ,
of
The following additional notes were
received from E. Kinney Miller, a
member of the Willamette University
Glee Club, which is put upon a tour of
the Northwest, his last communication
being from Baker City, Idaho:
At Baker City we. had a father poor
house for the size of the town. The
program went O. K. as usual. The ap
pearance of a large flag as we were
singing the Sword or Uncle m"
brought a hearty round of applause.
Owing to the wash'outs along Burnt
river and the rapid melting of the snow
in the mountains we were delayed in
Baker City about three hours. We
crossed bridges at a snail paee. The
result was that we arrived at Weiser
safely," but too late to give our con
cert.; ? : i ; - ,
We sang a couple of pieces in open
air just for spite. We have arranged to
fill this left over date on Saturday
night. This Willi put us one day late.
We will reach home Sunday night.
' Our coneert in Caldwell last night
was one of the best successes so far.
The audience was appreciative and the
club sang like a professional one. A
little diversion was erested when a
blood-thirsty-mouse nearly stampeded
the women ia the audience. Mr. Mouse,
however, made a fatal mistake when
be leaped over the footlights, for Im
mediately the elub men were chasing
him all over the stage, among them the
angry Wolf, who made short work of
Hie Mousethip."

Thursday.
Eddy and Burnett Win Out.
The nomination of B. L. Eddy for
circuit judge in the Third judiical dis-
trict was a big surprise. The nomina
tion of George II. Burnett, though
doubtful, waa j predicted Wednesday
evening by those who were familiar
with the preferences of many of the
delegates. The nomination of Eddy
was unexpected, because he had the
initial support of a delegation of j only
five members from his own bounty. His
strength lay in the fact that he had no
particular opposition, and - delegates
from Linn county supported him be
cause they wanted neither Burnett or
McCain. The contest in which Burnett
and Eddy won was one of the most in
teresting of the convention. The vote
was: ; ' ;;
Burnett ....
Eddy ........
McCain ......
Wyatt .... .
Adams ......
......42
. ... .36
24
21
1
......... i
The five counties had delegates as
follows: Marion, 23; Linn, 14; Yamhill
11; Polk, 9; Tillamook, 5. So far as
can be learned Burnett secured his 42
votes as follows: Marion, 17; Yamhill,
11; Polk, 9; Tillamook, 5. Eddy's vote
wss: Linn, 14; Polk, 9; Marion, 8;
Tillamook, 5. Polk and Tillamook went
solid for Eddy, and Burnett, Linn went
solid for Wyatt and Eddy; Yamhill
went solid for McCain and Burnett and
Marion scattered its votes among each
of the candidates.
The effort of the Linn delegation was
to make a trade with Yamhill and thus
secure a start of 25 votes for Wyatt and
McCain.- But Yamhill delegates would
not go to Wyatt, but preferred Burnett.
The whole 11 therefore went to Burnett
and in return 13 of Marion's delegates
voted for McCain. Wyatt 's delegation
was angry because no deal could be
made with McCain and went to Eddy to
get even. Eddy wasn 't in a trade of
any kind, ancT"had to give nothing: for
the 14 votes he got from Linn. Polk
had no candidate and supported the
man most acceptable to the delegation.
The withdrawal of Hart from the race
for district attorney made it impossible
for Linn and Yamhill to make a com
bination that could win, even if Yam
hill could!iave been traded away from
Burnett.
The nomination of Burnett and Eddy
seems to be generally satisfactory and
no doubt is expressed that both will be
elected by large majorities.
In connection with the withdrawal of
Hart for the district attorneyship there
is told a story of good political man
agement. Although J. II. McNary,
who captured the district attorneyship,
repeatedly asserted; that he would not
seek the nomination as long as Hart re
mained a candidate, he was frequently
mentioned as a passive candidate.
Hart was a'prdnouneed candidate un
til a few days ago. Last Saturday Mc
Nary announced his own candidacy and
was accused of infidelity to Hart, under
whom he had served as a deputy. It
now develops that there bad been an
understanding between Hart and Me
Nary for four years, by which McNary
stayed out of the race in 1900 and Hart
dropped out this year.' nart made the
race this year for the purpose of keep
ing out other candidates and at the
proper time he withdrew, leaving Mc
Nary to take the nomination without
opposition. If nart had withdrawn a
month ago there would have been a
half dozen candidates for the place. It
therefore appears that McNary was not
a candidate against Hart, though out
ward appearances indicated that he
was. McNary has been- deputy prose
cuting attorney in Marion county for
eight years, and is well acquainted in
each of the ' five counties of his dis
trict. .

Paris, April 16. The Matin's St.
Petersburg correspondent sends an in
terview which he had with Grand Duke
Valdimir, in which Valdimjr said:
"Here we all believe the' catastrophe
to the Petropavlovsk was caused by a
Japanese submarine vessel. We knew
the Japanese had two submarine ves
sels, but we could not imagine they
would be mad enough to send such little
boats so far from the fleet or that they
would even risk them at the entrance
to the Port Arthur harbor.; The subma
rine which effected the .destruction of
the battleship most certainly! have
sunk." .""!! --'
