of Surprises of Election
in This County
BISHOP AND LAFOLETTE
SENATORIAL NOMINEES
Goulet Leads for County Com
missioner; Allen Leads for
House Representatives
The returns are not all counted, but
enough are in to settle prnctically all
doubts. This was known last night,
to far as the road bonds wero concern
ed, when the first leport was flashed
in from Victor Point, 122 against 2 for.
From that time everything wns against
bonds until returns from tlio north
end of tho county began to coins in,
which were goncrally strongly in their
favor. i
Tho count today with 59 ptocincts
complete was for bonds 2,682, against
6,377, or a little more than 2 to 1.
The surprise of the election was the
Htrength developed by Withycombe for
governor, he miming ahead of Craw-'
ford in.thh county, and having a strong
had throughout the state over all other
candidates. He is the republican nom
inee, nnd will probably face the demo
crat, Judge Bennett, who was another
surprise to many who had not kept in
eloso touch with tho votors. Smith's
weakness in Portland and in his home
county was also a surprise. Tho indi
cations are at present time that Ben
nett has carried almost every county
with tho possible exception of Mult
nomah and Umatilla.
The republican senatorial nominees
nre Bishop nnd LaFollette, though there
is a baro possibility of Heltzcl pulling
through. The republican nominees for
the legislature are Allen, S. Brown,
Tho3. Brown, Weeks and Martin.
The county commissioners are in
doubt, with Goulet in tho load with 771
nnd Simmons a closo second, his vote
bcinz
It is impossible to give the names of
the democratic possibilities for state
senator and the legislature for the
names are written and every voter
wrote at ranJlom.
The returns from St. Paul" that came
in this afternoon gave Bonnett 6(1,
Bmith 13, Manning 24, Cobb and Miller
nothing. They also increasod Hollis
Icr's lead in the county) ne getting 42
to Meredith's 27.
The nomination of Mrs.. Brooks by a
handsome majority was a feature, and
indicates the ladies will Bave to be
reckoned with as candidates as well as
voters.
Two ballot boxes were returned, one
to Mill City and the other to Elkhorn,
they havang been locked up with the

GAS BATE LEGAL.
San Francisco, May 16. Master in
Chclncery Harry M. Wright today up
held the legality of tho 75 cent gas
rate fixed by the supervisors in an ordi
nance parsed last July. ,
The Pacific Gas and Eloctric com
pany's present rate was 85 cents and
has been collecting at this rate Bince
the ordinance pnBscd, under an injunc
tion issued by Federal Judge Van
Fleet preventing the enforcement of
tlie now regulation.
Judge Van Fleet turned tho matter
over to the mastor in chancery to decide
and the latter 's ruling will compel the
company to refund about $300,000.
Tho master reduced the company's
valuation on its jilant ironi $19,937,267'
to- $12,042,590 refused to include for
rate-fixing purposes the valuo of the
company's franchis which it had
placed at $1,482,641 and albO struck out
its $2 918,107 item for pood will.

O 'Gorman wero asked to put the plat
form in appropriate language and that
they invited Senator Iibiuercne and him
self to assist.

GUS M0SER LEADS
IN MULTNOMAH
Hawley Leads 2 to 1; George
M. Brown Nominated for
Attorney General
Portland, Or., May 16. Election re
turns from abroad in the state indicate
a neck and neck race lotwccn Dr. C.
J. Smith of Portland and Judge A. 8.
Bennett of The Dalles for the demo
cratic nomination for governor with a
margin in favor of Smith.
For the republicans Dr. James Withy
combe leads in the state by a comfort
able plurality while tins C. Mosor of
Portland carried Multnomah county.
John Manning of Portland is a poor
third in the democratic gubernatorial
contest, while Colonel Kobort A. Miller
and G. A. Cobb trail far iu the rear.
Dr. Smithcarried Multnomah county
by over 100votes, but with reports do
layed from the state at large the ro
sult apparently will be uncertain until
the last county reports are in.
The republican stato tickot exclus
ive of governor will undoubtedly have
George M, Brown of Roseburg as the
nominee for aitorney goneral. Al
though Brown was bested in Multno
mah county by Frank S. Grant, former
city attorney of Portland, by at least
2,000 votes, he is running 2 to 1 ahead
of Grant in the rest of the state. Grant
is about tied with William r. ijorrt as
far as reports that have reached Port
land thus far can indicate.,'
Thore is keen competition for the
four nominations for tho supreme bench
with Chief Justice McBrido loading the
fiold. He is nearly 800 ahead of his
closest competitor in multnomah coun
ty. Justices Bean ana McNary, who
aro candidates for le-eloction, follow
him in the state generally, although
both, are topped by Circuit Judge T. J.
Cleeton in Multnomah county.
Judge Inwrence T. Harris apparently
has the bcBt of Judge Cleeton in the
state voting districts, but several hun
dred bch'Mid him in Multnomah county.
Samuel T. Richardson of Salem and P.
H. D'Arcy are noi in tho running,
while Judge Henry L. Benson is leader
in Multnomah county but has not poll
ed a large vote in the state.
John H. Lewis, the present state en
gineer, has defeated L. It. Stockman
at letst four or five to one, while the
vote on labor commissioner indicates
the de nomination of Commissioner O.
P. Hoff, with Fred S. Bynon running
second in the state, and Andy Madsen,
head of the longshoremen in Portland,
second in tho county.
Frank J. Millor is easily re-nominated
as ra'lrond commissioner.
Tom' B. Kay, state treasurer; J. A,
Churchill, superintendent of public in
struction, and James T. Chinnock, su-
perintendent of water district number
one, in winch Multnomah county is lo
cated, were re-nominated witnout op
position.
All democratic candidates for Btate
offices were nominated without op
position with the exception of the gov
ernorship.
. Later State Kotunvs.
Portland, Or., May 10. Although ro-
turns were very incomplete, indica
tions early today w.re that Dr. James
Witiiycombe, of Corvallis, had received
the republican gubernatorial nomina
tion with a plurality roughly estimated
at 5,000. Gus C. Moser, or Portland,
has a substantial leading in Multno
mab, a smail lead in Clatsop, Colum
bia and Tillamook counties, but this
was overcome in other parts of the
state. Outside of Multnomah county
A. M. Crawford had a slight lead over
Moser.
I he democratic returns were very
meagre and left tho gubernatorial re
sult in doubt. John Aianuing, of Port
land, was funning ahead in Multnomah
county, with Dr. C. J. Smith, of Port
hind, and Judge Bennett, of The Dalles,
rontcsting closely for second place.
Scattering returns from 16 upstate
counties give Smith a majority of 224
over Bennett with Manning a poor
third.
In the first congressional district,
W. C. Haule.v, incumbent, wa nomi
rated on the republican ticket by prob
ably a 2 to 1 vote.
A. W. Lafferty, incumbent, was
leading C. N. McArthur by a small
margin for the republican nomination
for congress in the Third district.
A. J. Sinnott, incumbent, was not
epposed for the republican nomination
for congress in the second district.

The race for the democratic nomina
tion iB exceedingly clowfl, however, but
botween Smith and Judgo Bennett.
Smith 's apparent lend is about 1000 and
thore is a possibility that his may bo
overcome by later returns from the
Willamotto valley esKScially Marion
and Lane counties, whoro Bonnett is
strong.
Dr. Smith carried Multnomah county
by approximately 600 plurality over
Bennett, John Manning being third.

him a big plurality and Jackson Coos,

Washington, May 16.' Evon if Pri
vate Parks, the infantryman missing
from the American garrison of Vera
Cruz, was murdered by General Maas'
Me'cans, there will be no reprisal at
present, it was mode plain on high
administration authority today. . .
The war department, to bo sure, was
furious and Secretary"! Garrison was
privately doelaring the situation ex
tremely grave. Seerotary of State
Bryan, however, insisted that the-re
ported outrage was simply another of
the series to be charged up against
President Iluerta for sottlomeut at the
final accounting.
Wilson Supports Bryan.
President Wilson whs known to be
supporting Bryan in the tatter's de
termination that nothing bo pormitted
to interfere with mediation of the
American-Mexican difficulty. The
Niagara Falls conforenco was expected
to suggest a plan for Huorta's elimina
tion .and the permanent re-nstablish-ment
of peace In Mexico and the presi
dent was said to consider that ouo more
fatality suposedly past and therefore
unpreventablo should not be permitted
to force his administration'! baud.
Mob Kule Threatened. .
Pi spate km' from Mtrxic City - dwelt
on tho critical nature, of tho situation
there. Mob rule was said to bo threat
ened. Unloss fuorta eliminated.'. him
self it was declared the people would
sneedilv eliminate him. .
Tho dictator' was understood to be
ignoring government - affairs. War
Minister Blniiquet was reported the
renl head of tho government and it was
prodietod that as soon as tho opportuni
ty offered the Jattor would seine Huor
ta's post for himself.
Tho Mexican envoys to the "A. B.
' " mediation conforenco wore due
here this afternoon and had boon in
vited to bo the Spanish ambassador's
noHts over night.
It wns said tho American envoys had
boen instructed to insist on Huorta's
elimination as tho first condition of a
settlement.
Orders Change In Ports.
Officialdom wns not much perturbed
by nows that Preaidont Huorta had
ordered Mexican importors and ex
porters to handle tho cast coast ship
ments through Piiorta-Mexico. With
Vera Cruz in tho Americans' and Tam
pico in the rebels' hands and Tuxpnn
likely to fall at any time, this was to
have been expected, it was said. By
prohibiting transactions through eithor
of the captured ports it was thought he
might add somewhat to Puerto-Mexico's
customs receipts but It was doubted
if tho increase would be material, witn
tho country's commerce in its present
stato.
Confirmation woe rccoived of the
arrival of A. J. Sutton, the Washing
ton Post's photographor, at Vera Cruz,
after a scries of alarming experiences,
and according to his own account re-
poatod threats or execution wnue unuor
arrest in Mexico City and Cordova.
Ho attributed his rolease at Mexico City
to tho efforts of the English and
Brazilian legations and at Cordova to
that of the English consulate at Vera
Cruz.
Vera Cruz messages said it was the
IHief there that tho federal gunboats
Zaragoza and Bravo, which loft Tam
pico when the rebels took tho city and
passed ho re southbound, wore noaueu
for Progrosso. They wore followed
though not intorforod with by tho
American cruiser Chester.

Silliman's delay was due to destruction
of the-railroad truck between Saltillo
and Mexico City.
llis messago, filed yesterday, said the
minister, was informal that Silliman
left Saltillo May 14, which would mean '
he would reach tho capital tho night of

than likoly.

Today's indications wen that' the
administration had decided to allow

Inv from tho Mexican foroign office
saying a thorough investigation nan
been started into the disappearance oi
I'rivnto Parks from Vera Cruz.
The Brazilian minister in Mexico said
ho ";itiioritntiveTy understood" Parks
was dead.
Ro-pcinding to pressing demands for
information concerning the 1'arks case,
the Mexican foreign office announced

gun. Consul Silliman was said to be only
delayed on his trip from galtillo to
Mexico City by the destruction of the
