GRAY BROS, 1 Co., 310 Front and Chemeketa street 166 S $40 mm Congress Waiting, McKinley's Message Will Receive Prompt Action- foreign Relations Committee Makes a Vigorous Report. Washington, April 5. The senate committee on foreign relations has re sumed its sittings. The committee has arrived at a definite conclusion as to the resolution it will recommend. The report accompanying the resolu tions will deal with the situation in vigorous language, and it is under stood much will be made in it of the Maine disaster, Washington, April 5. The senate chamber was Jammed with people in terested in Cuban affairs. Clay (Ga.) made a speach urging that war be avoided if possible, but adding that there was no remedy that did not concede absolute inde pendence. Perkins In a speech on the Cuban question declared that the blowing up of the Maine by Spanish officials was an act of war, and he believed it was so regalded by the nations of the world. Mantle and Rawlins followed Per kins, both speaking for Cuban inde pendence. At the close of Rawlins' speech, the senate took up the sundry civil appro priation bill. Cannon moved to suspend the rules of the house to pass a joint resolu lutlon allowing the erection of for tifications on private property. Unan imous consideration was refused by Bailey. Cannon said the resolution gave the president discretion in tne matter of acquiring land. HOUSE. Bailey said he simply desired to call the attention of the house to the fact that it had In the last 30 days been called upon to yote emergency meas ures, and that the house was not in possession of any information showing that the administration thought there was any extraordinary emer gency confronting the country. lie would haye denied a democratic presi dent a $50,000,000 appropriation. Bailey said the cuuntry ought to know what the administration Is do Ing and intends to do. The Demo crats were ready to assist in the pros ecution of a war to a s ucccssf ul ter mination. This caused applause, which the speaker rebuked. Bailey said the applause in the gal leries was merely a miniature of the feeling of the people of the country. Again there was applause In the gal leries and the speaker threatened to have them cleared. Steel (Rep. lnd.) said this would hardly be fair, as Bailey was talking to the galleries (Laughter on the Republican side.) Bailey closed by saying that If the president wanted more time to treat with the Spanish butchers.it would be granted. Lentz (Dem. Ohio) offered a belliger ency amendment to the resolution. Williams (Dem. Miss,) member of the committee on foreign relations, opposed the amendment for belliger ency, saying he thought It Inoppor tune at this time. "We should nil move in a solid phalanx when the time comes." he said. "The Democratic side of the house has expressed its views, and it Is now time to wait " The statement was considered as significant, as Williams had but a half hour before emerged from the for eign affairs committee. Maddox (Dem, Ga.) said when it was proposed to make war, the Indict ment against Spain should be thor oughly made up so each member of A Hot Time in That's what there is in store, but don't burn your fingers on so-called bargains, closing out sales and cheap goods, Before you invest a cent, investigate our stock and low cut prices, O. P. DABNBY, THE the house would know what he was voting for. Fitzgerald (dem. Mass.) supported the motion, saying the Democratic party would show Its patriotism by supporting the resolution. Cannon said Bailey was posturing before the country. Ills own city Galveston might be in danger of a hostile ileet. "It would be stopped before It could get there, if we had the proper sort of an administration," replied Bailey. Cannon said he was talking busi ness. He said $7,50,000 of the emer ergency appropriation had been ex pended for coast defense. Sayres(Dem., Texas,) In supporting the resolution said he was ready to yotc for anything needed to put the Koyernrucnt In a complete state of de fense in such a crisis as this. Dockery (Dem., Mo.) said the reso lution gave the president the power ho ought to haye. Ue did not know what the administration would do In respect to Cuba, but he did not look to Spain for a settlement of the question. The resolution was then passed without a dlylsion. IIull moved to suspend the rules for the passage of a bill fcr the rcorgnl zatlon of the army. After debate, it was arranged that Wednesday should bo Bet aside for consideration of the Hull army bill, with the understanding that it should not Interfere with any report from the committee on foreign affairs. Grout (Rep. Va.) later introduced a joint resolution In the house, recog nizing the Independence of the re public of Cuba and appropriating $500,000 for relief of the starving non combatants, to be expended only through authorized agents of the United States. Every member of the foreign af fairs committee of the house was pledged to secrecy before the commit tee adjourned. One of the Republi can members said, hewever: ''We did nothing." The committee will meet again tomorrow. Members of the committee do not expect anything to be done In the house. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Will Favor Recognition of the Indepen dence of Cuba. Washington, April 5. It is now very probable that the president's message will not be sent to congress before Thursday. The president, It Is learned, will favor the recognition of Independence and forcible Interven tion, If neceesary, to preyent further hostilities In Cuba. The Maine disaster will be a promi nent feature and will be treated in a vigorous manner. The whole sub ject will be discussed In a spirit of patriotism Ihat must commend it self to the entire American people. Unless something unexpected hap pens .within a comparatively short time, indications point to at least a show of force against Havana. The report that the .pope offered mediation is again officially denied. This government, it is asserted, can not under any circumstances, accept mediation or interference from any foreign power, nor up to this time has any been proffered. Wheat Sale. ALBANY, April 5. G. A. Wcstgat, representing Moore, Ferguson & Co., of San Francisco, has bought 100,000 bushels of wheat in the farmers' warehouse In Albany, and In the warehouses at Tangent, Lebanon and Tallman. The pi ice paid was 70 cents net to the farmers. The wheat will be shipped to Portland and tthere loaded on a ycssel for foreign ports This sale about cleans up the surplus wheat of the 1897 crop In this part of Oregon.

Mediation Offered Pope Leo Offers His Assist ance to Spain and U. S. He Say? Spanish Bloodshed Must Stop Spain Bream Faith Again. J, Rome, April 5.-fThc pope is taking active steps to rrcvent war between the United States and Spain, and that Spain Is Cijger to accept his good otllccs o.von If the suggestion did not come directly from Madrid, Is proved by two notes which were oflielUIy published by the Vatican. The (Irst was (evidently misunder stood in Madrid? and this misunder standing called for the second. The first note Is as follews: "The pope, deeming that the break ing out of hostilities between the United States nnd Spain was immi nent, telegraphed to the queen regent of Spain, offering mediation. "The Spanish government answered, accept ing. The United States wll probably accept also." ? The second note was as follews: "The pope Mas telegraphed to Ma drid and Washington urging that war be averted, and an agreement arrived at. The pope did not officially pro pose mediation, but let it be under stood that mediation would be possi ble. Misinterpreting the pope's tele gram, the Spanish government an swered that'll would accept the medi ation of the Vatican." It Is unofficially announc d that the first step In mediation has already been taken; and that It is a request that hostilities in Cuba cease before any further step ho taken, and that Spain has promised that hostilities shall cease forthwith. Whether this simply means the proclamation uf a truce or evacuation of Cuba is not stated, but it probaby means the former, for the possibility of the in surgents refusing to accept an armis tice does not appear to have been thought of at the Vatican. The roje has already selected a C(m7nitee'toexa'uflnc the questions at Issue between the United States and Spain. It is composed of Cardi nals Rampolla, Satolll and Vanutelll and Mousignor Prlpepl, no official of the papal. The secretary of state's ofllcc furnished the Information that when matters llrst took on really a serious aspect the pope was urged by the powers of Central Europe, notably theemperor of Germany, to use his in fluence to prevent war. The pope, thereupon, opened negotiations in an indirect way, urging Spaln.flrst of all, to concede as much as possible to the Cubans and then, when an open rup ture seemed imnilmcnt, to grant whatever the United States de manded. Rampolla has had many conferences with Von Bulow, the German minis ter to the Vatican, and List Thursday the pope sent for Von Bulow and held a two hours' conference with him On Friday and Saturday they were lolned by ambossadors of Spain and Austria. Sunday evening the pope sent the following telegram to the queen re gent of Spain: "I urgently beg your majesty to make all concessions compatible with honor and national dignity to concede an armistice and avoid a bloody, use less war, which would be disastrous to Spain. (Signed,) Lep. P. P. He used the following language In one of them, that as "father of all the faithful he could not Intervene unless a stop was put to the shedding of the blood of those who arc God's"sons. He has urged her to act upon purely hu manitarian grounds. It Is said here that previous to taking this action the pope, through a representative In Washington, askod McKlnley If this cours-e would meet with his approyal and that the president exprossed his hone that the pope would do anything In his power. After a conference with Cardinals Rampolla and Satolll and the Spanish ambassador, the pope telegraphed the papel nuncio at Madrid directing hlm to oiler the holy father's mediation. The queen of Spain replied, saying she would I accept the oiler. At noon the pope wired the queen that he could take no stops until hos- 1 tllltles in Cuba had been suspended, To this the queen replied that hos- ... v..v .,-UwM .i-.. vv .. i tUltles would be suspended, and that! Spain was prepared to accept any de cision the pope may render. Carndlnals Agllardl and Fcrratt joined the conference at the vattcan last eycnlng. During their talk a long cablegram arrived from Archbishop Ireland. The purport of It was that a pacific solution of the difficulties, while difficult, Is nut Impossible. President McKlnley Is not opposed to the mediation of the pope. New Yokk, April 6. Letters re ceived from Cuban Generals Gomez and Garcia express confidence In the speedy triumph of the Insurgent cause. Both report having defeated largely superior forces sent against them. Fevers and mosqulios, Garcia says, will soon kill off the Spanish army In his district. London, Aprils. Spain has spoken faith In her diploma negotiations re specting the Cuban question. Yes terday she accepted -the popo's offer to use his influence to inuke peace permanent if Spain suspended hos tilities. This morning the Spanish ambassador here declared McKlnley had asked the pope to intervene. An official denial came from Washington that McKlnley had asked the aid of pope. Possibly the explanation of the falsehood was arise of 4 points in Spanish 4s. New Yokk, April 5. A dispatch to the World from Havana says: Forty floating submarine mines were secretly planted In Havana har bor last Wednesday night by the Spanish government. This Informa tion comes from official sources and is absolutely correct. The mines con tain sufficient force to paralyze the biggest ships afloat. New Yonu, April 5. A Herald special from Washington says: Consul-General Leo has been In structed to turn the American con sulate over to British Consul Gohln and has already madcthe necessary ar rangements with Gohln to do so. This Is a mere precaution in case Lee has to leave suddenly Lee apparently has not abandoned all hope of prevent ing hostilities, and will stick to his postuntll it Is folly to remain longer. Yeatch Resigns. Roseiiuro, Or., April 5. R. M. Veatch has forwarded to Washington his resignation as register of the United States land office here, and has to be released at once, nis term some time ago. Mr. Veatch will take the stump sonn and make an active canvass for congress. Election in Butte. Butte, Mont., April 5 The elec tion Monduy was for eight aldermen. The Democrats elected seven and the silver republicans one. The Republi cans and Populists made a poor show Ing. The next council will stand twelve Democrats to four Republicans and silver Republicans. Baker County Union Ticket. Bakeii City, Or., April G.

JOURNAL "X-RAYS." Ed. Judd was left at home this time. The Convention today Is the one that don't want any office, See here, Bill Jones, did you cut Dave Looney's corset strings ? t Republicans, put out your best ticket. It'll be none too good in this fight. The Salem hog don't like any gov ernor who does his duty by the peo ple who aro not hogs. Salem No. 3, was the solid business delegation In the conyention.- It had nearly all big muldoon taxpayers. Besides the Union, Republican, pro-hi,- MIddle-Roadcr Populist, there Is now a Mlddle-Roader goldbug party. It's nip and tuck between Jo. Foncs and Billy Bushy as to which holds the strings on tho delegates from the Santlam woods. "I have no use for Governor Lord," said a Salem delegate. "1 went thcro twice for a Job and got nothing. Now he'll get It in the neck." Walter Toozo was conspicuous with ribbons as usual. He has his delegation well in hand and a strong "third house" opposition from Woodburn on tho ground. ft Waving tho flag will not answer this year, gentlemen. The peoplo want something more than wind-bag patriotism as u thin disguise for raids on the county treasury. Many of the old familiar faces aro lacking In tho Republican convention. Chairman Toozo called out name after name on committees and "not a del egate," camo the mournful reply. It Is to bo hoped that Mr. Geer's modesty Is greater than that of the committee on "flag and pictures." Thoy forgot to drapo the flag over McKlnley and Hbbart. The combination In tho Republican conyention is Wain of Salem for sheriff and Hall of Woodburn for clerk. Of course, nothing could bo dono without a combination. There is about as much enthusiasm In the preliminaries of tho Republican county convention as around tho mourner's bench at a Methodist camp meeting. Of course, there'll bo rejoic ing bye and bye. M. L.Jones and Alex LaFolIette of tho 'Brooks delegation with their aims around teach other's neck and hugging the life out of each other Is a pleasing sight at this convention. w Tho Jefferson delegation, headed by Bill Jones, tho barber, were on hand to do their level best for Harry Row land lor clerk. If Dave Looncy got In first for sheriff their jig was up. It is a square fight between two good men. New Ties. A train load of tibont thirty cars of railroad ties that hayo recently gone through tho creosotlng plant at Latham, passed through Sa lem this afternoon. The ties will bo unloaded between Salem and Port land. Eastertide Kid Gloves . . . .

Woodburn was the scene of a hot political con test for city officers in the election of yesterday. The silver forces elected every man on tho ticket except one al derman. A. L. Cornwall. Who is a conservative gold man and drew a largo vote from tho sliver forces on account of bis personal popularity. When tho Republicans saw they were whipped out of recognition they sprung one of their "trick stories" and endeavored to show that it was not a political light but an Issue upon tho liquor question, which Is untrue, as under our charter no saloon license can bo granted In tho city. Many ladles of tho city went to the polls and offered their votes but tho election board, although two of them said they believed women had a right to vote at our city election, refused to permit them to vote, Tho matter will be taken up and tested In tho courts by tho champions of woman suffrage.
