senator Slater Explains Why Ore
gOn went Republican.

NEW YORK, June 9.-Slater, in con-
World to-day, said: "Oregon has been
very close for the past fourteen years,
and since the last election there has been
large immigration to the State, and
this appears to have been slightly Repub-
lican. That accounts in some measure
for the result of the election just held.
Another thing was the railroad influence
against us. That appears to have oper-
ated in favor of the Republicans in GER
tain counties. mean the influence of
Wizards road Not that | think either
he or the managers used their influence
in any way to control the election but
some of the resident officials of the road
and high officials, | have no doubt, used
their influence against us. Then money
was sent there from Washington, and
this was undoubtedly used in some
of the back counties. | say
money was sent there, because
l know, by putting certain circum
stanes together, that such was the case.
For instance. | know that for years past
certain men have left here for Oregon
three to six weeks i'll advance of the
election. Their arrival there has al
ways been followed by increased activi-
| ty in certain counties, with every evil
dence of the use of money by these Re-
publican agents. This occurred this
year just as it did last and the year be-
fore, and that is the reason say money
was undoubtedly sent out from here
and used i'll the recent election. An
other thing: The Democrats received
no assistance from abroad, except that
the Congressional Committee sent some
documents on the Chinese question.
Being asked to explain why the Chinese
question had not been made much of an
issue in this election, Slater said: "The
reasons are that the Democrats as
well as the Republicans in Oregon, for
twelve or fourteen years past
have been in accord on this question 1t
was thought by the Democrats that if
they could show to the Republicans
there that the policy of the National Re-
publican party was hostile to the inter-
ests of our section that an impression
might be made. This prospect, how
ever, was modified by the signing of the
ten-year restriction bill. Had the veto
of the first Chinese bill come just before
the election, and before any other meas
ure had been adopted, the Chinese ques-
ton would have been an issue, but the
entire Pacific slope delegation came here
and supported the new measure after
the first one was vetoed, and, as you can
see, it would have been useless to have
asked the Republicans to vote against
them on account of the Chinese ques-
tion, when they had voted and worked
in favor of the restriction bill"

DAVITT'S GREAT SPEECH.
1t Excites Immense Enthusiasm

| New YORK, June "a special cable
to the Irish World from Dublin says:
Michael Davitt's Liverpool speech is
spoken of as the grandest effort of his
| life. 1t was delivered amidst enthusi-
asm indescribable, and is pronounced
one of the most important events i'll the
history of the land agitation. He pro-
posed the naturalization of Ireland by
abolishing all taxation except upon land
values, and, continuing, said the State
would thus become the steward of the
national property Farmers would have
perfect security of tenure, paying less
i'll taxes than they now do in rent,
while the property created in land by
their capital and industry would be theirs
to dispose of in the same way as they
now dispose of tenant right. Labor
ers would be similarly secured, the occu-
pancy of plots would of course be
necessary. The agriculturists would
thus get security of the peasant property
without purchase, and they would be
also relieved of all taxes now levied on
them. Non-agriculturists would receive
in dividends out of the proceeds OF land
what they pay in all kinds of taxation.
That is what is meant by land for the
people" Permitting any class to hold
land rs absolute property is inconsistent
with the freedom and welfare OF man
kind. Land values arise. from aggregate
population and the industry OF the com
munity, and, therefore, OF right belong
to the whole community ant nuF to in-
| T. tt,,;.I In
cludea his speech in these words:
q have stated my programme
from this night forth. As long
as have life to devote to the cause OF
igeland that life will be devoted TO
fmthermg this programme in the inter
ests OF oar fellow countrymen. y The
enthusiasm during the delivery OF the
speech was tremendous. Twenty thou
sand people filled the street in front of
the hall, cheering Davi,t and singing the
national anthem, God Save Ireland.
When Dayitt emerged from the hall he
was borne on the shoulders of stalwart
men to the carriage, which the crowd
unhorsed and dragged to his hotel. Ar
rived there the crowd refused to
dispense until Daytt had addressed
them from the balcony. Ireland has
been wrought up to the highest pitch
of enthusiasm. 1t is evident
that Davitt has struck popular
chord. The English press has full re-
ports of Davitt's speech, with long
editorial comments. The Dublin Mail
Castle organ) denounces him, but says:
"There's no use of our shutting our
eyes to the fact that in the present crisis
Davitt's announcements are of more
Importance than those of any other per-
son in the three kingdoms. Others may
pose as the equals, or even the superiors
of Davitt, but to whoever looks below
the surface it is as clear as the MONDAY
sun that the Fenian convict is the real
leader of the movement" Davitt will
address ten meetings in the United
States in places not west of Chicago and
dates not later than July.

missal of the suit brought by Tully r.
Wise, a lawyer of this city, against the
Manhattan Life Insurance Company, to
recover policy ON the life of Mariono
Rubio to the amount of fifteen thousand
dollars, brings out an interesting plot to

who furnished proofs of Rubio's death.
A half interest in the policy had been
assigned to Wise by M guel Noe, cred
itor of Rubio, for whose benefit the pol
icy was originally made. A searching
investigation resulted in finding Rubio
alive in Mexico, and he was brought to
this city. Noe and Wise appear to have
been imposed upon as to the proofs oil
death, and on being satisfied of Rubio' $
existence moved a dismissal.
