OREGON ELECTION.
Republican Ticket and Both Candidates
for Congress Probably Successful.

PORTLAND, Ore, June 4-The most ex-
citing election in the history of the State
took place to-day. Lord, the Republican
candidate for Governor. is undoubtedly
elected by a large plurality. The entire
Republican State ticket is probably elect
ed, with the possible exception of Irwin
for Superintendent of Schools. The Legis-
lature will be very close, and the Populists
may hold the balance of power in the SEN
ate. though the Republicans claim they
will have a majority in both houses. Her
mann. Republican, is elected to Congress
from the First district by 1000 to 1000 ma
jority. Ellis, Republican. is in the lead in
the Second district. but the greater part Of
the Second district is cut off by the flood,
and returns will not be received for several
days.
Returns up to 10:S0 D. m. Pacific time)
show that Lords plurality for Governor
will not fall short of 5000, and will probably
be larger.

nlght during the holidav- adiournment. The

night during the holiday adjournment. The
net legislative result OF all these meetings
for all these Friday nights has been the
passage OF two pension bills which have re-
ceived the approval OF President Cleveland
1t is hardly necessary to state that neither
OF these two bills which Mr.. Cleveland
signed benefited a Union soldier. OF the
two bills. one was to pension the caugnts
of a revolutionary soldier at 81 a month
and the other was 10 pension a soldier OF
the war of 1872 at the rate of $50 a month
1t is plain, therefore, that while sympathy
for the helpless American soldier or his
even more helpless offspring has at last
been awakened in the heart OF the present
administration, that sympathy has not yet
come down TO the soldier Of the rebellion
or his widow or orphans The nearest APP
proach to passing a pension bill or the last
war was when unanimous consent was
asked to pass a bill granting a pension to
the aged and inffrm mother or a Union SOL
der who had fallen at Gettysburg. 1t was
explained that the old mother had sue
ceeded in eking out a scanty livelihood after
that she was now an inmate OF the county
sheraton of the bill. A few days later the
bill was again called up. A Democratic
member promptly arose to again object.
but he was spared the revo ting task. The
gentleman in charge Of the bill solemnly
asked permission of the House to withdraw
the bill from the calendar. The person
named therein had died In the poorhouse
the day after objection had been made.
That is the pension record for the hrst
year of Mr.. Cleveland's second administra-
ton

DR.. Talmage changed the subject of the
conversation. He remarked upon the rose
hued prospects Of the farmers of the coun-
try and predicted an early termination Of
the hard times that have been expressing
the people.
From Maine to California there is every
indication of a big CROP" he said. There
will be a grand harvest this summer and
autumn, and the farmers are all jubilant
over the prospect. / have taken particular
pains TO ascertain these facts. In fact, it
Is about all I've done since 1 left Brooklyn
except talk. The brightest days of the Ma
ton are to come. 1t will be easier for
every one to make a living, and labor agi-
%tations generally will come to an end by
the rising prosperity. Vast resources that
are now locked UP will be opened. and in
six months time, not more, every man in
the country who is able and inclined to
work can find employment. That is my pre-
diction, and the picture is not painted with
any inJudiciouS amount of rose color.
The cause? II is the natural swing of
the pendulum When IL swings far in the
direction of hard times, and the attending
poverty and depression and financial crises.
II will swing just as far in the opposite
direction and bring prosperity and national
good cheer. The great harvest, coming
right on the back Of the adjournment Of
Congress, will have a tendency to brighten
affairs, and the sufferingS of the unem-
ployed Will find a soothing cordial In the
prosperity that will Immediately ensue."

TO ADJUST LABOR DISPUTES.
Mr.. kfefer's Plan for u National
Board of Arbitration.

WASHINGTON, June A plan for ad-
justing labor differences through a national
board of arbitration has been formulated by
Representative Kiefer, of Minnesota. The
bill provides for the appointment by the
President of three commissioner Of arbi-
tratioa. The Commissioner of Labor is
made ex officio member of the arbitration
board. The Governor of a State in which
a labor controversy occurs is also a men,
Der. The board of arbitration consists Of
five members In order to secure the eff
forts Of the board application is first made
to the Governor. the form Of an applica-
ton being set forth in the bill. The appli-
cation m IA be made by either employers
or employees. In the latter case 1t must be
in behalf OF at least fifty employees of an
organization having one thousand members
throughout the country. If the Governor Is
satisfied that a conflict exists which can
not be amicably settled ne applies to the
national board OF arbitration to take charge
OF the question. The board assemblies in
the State capital, hears evidence and arbi-
trates the difference in the usual manner.
Its decisions are made as binding as those
OF a federal court OF law. Provision Is also
made for enforcing the decision of arbitra-
ton. Pending the hearings of the board
the Governor is clothed with powers to pre-
serve the peace and suppress a strike. Mr..
Kiefer appreciates that the State right ar
gument will be raised against the bill. He
has conferred with a number OF lawyers,
however, and he is hopeful of having the
bill conform to all constitutional require
mentS.

James c. Hays, father Of DR.. Franklin
W.. Hays. died yesterday morning at the
home of his son in this city. at the age OF
seventy-five years. Two years ago Mr..
Hays suffered from an attack of grip. the
effects OF which, on account OF his years,
he could never throw of.
Mr.. Hays was born in Lebanon, o., on
March 4. 1919. Before coming OF age he
had made an independent start in mercan-
tile life. A capacity for business soon
brought him into public life, where he was
known as one of the first Of the anti-slav-
cry men in his State. Notwithstanding his
Southern lineage. his convictions made him
a radical Abolitionist. He supported this
cause with his personal means and much
self-sacrihce until the breaking out OF the
rebellion. AT the beginning Of the war mis-
stanch loyalty and knowledge OF local trail
torous outbreaks in Ohio commended him
TO the confidence of President Lincoln. who
delegated important trusts to his care.
Throughout this period he devoted himself
to aiding the government. both by his pri-
vate means and personal influence. He was
instrumental in organizing and supplying
some of the first troops that left Ohio.
and continued in this work during the wal.
Later the President honored hin WITH aD-
polntments of postmaster and United States
marshal in his district. Following the war

mercantile pursuits. For many years he
conducted general stores in several cities

and real estate business until a few years
ago, when he and his wife, whom he
leaves behind, came to live with their son.

The stehIin Remonstrnnce.

When the Board OF County Commission
ers convened yesterday morning there was
placed before them a list OF 19 applications
for liquor licenses All were granted ex-
cept the applications of John II. Stehiin.
at Seventh street and College avenue:
Charles Baden. at Oak Hill, and William
Crawford, at Castleton. These applications
Will not be granted until the remonstrances
against them can be heard. The plea set
up by the demonstrators in the Baden case
is similar TO that IN the case OF Stehlin.
The location OF the proposed saloon is held
TO be the chief objection. IL is also alleged
that the applicant intends locating his
place IN close proximity 10 a church and In
a peaceful, sober neighborhood. which is
opposed to the enterprise. The Baden case
will be heard Friday afternoon. The re-
monstrators I'm the Stehlin case have been
notified TO appear before the commission
ers on Thursday morning.

An extremely human characteristic Of
our canine friends Is shown In their sus-
ceptibility to ridlcule. Faint traces of this
quality are to be found in monkeys and
perhaps even In the more intelligent horses,
but nowhere else save In man, and hardly
there, except In the more sensitive natures,
do we find contempt, expressed in laughter
Of the kind which conveys that emotion. so
keeniy and pinfully appreciated. With
those dogs which are endowed with a large
hyman quality, such as our various breeds
Of hounds. 1t Is possible by laughing in their
faces not only to quell their rage, but 10
drive them TO a distance. They seem in a
way to be put TO shame and at the same
time hopelessly puzzled as to the nature of
their predicament- In this connection we
may note the very human feature that after
you have cowed a dog by insistent laughter
you can never hope to make friends with
him.

NECKAR
Britain Wants 1t for a Pacific Cable
Station.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Whether john
sons island. reported to be the goal of the
international race between the British and
Hawaiian steamers, reported i'm advices
from Honolulu, belong TO the United States.
Great Britain or Hawaii Is likely TO have
little significance at present, for, according
to information and belief Of officers of the
State Department, the real object of the
race is not Johnson's island at all, but
Neckar island. This island lies about four
hundred miles west of Honolulu Tin lati-
tude 1884 north and longitude 1874 81 west,
and is nothing but a barren rock about five
hundred feet long and rising $50 feet above
the waves. Once Ii was covered with gl-
ano. but II has long since been stripped
capable of supporting human beings without
outside aid. Hawaii has claimed the island.
but this fact doubtless has prevented a
colonization. 1t Is part of the British col
oniaI scheme. which Will be fully ventilated
at the important Ottawa conference, about
TO assemble, TO touch at this island with
the cable from British Columbia to Aus
tralia. Then a branch loop would be run
over TO Honolulu to pick up the paying BUSH
ness that might be gathered there. The
British would prefer to run the main cable
directly TO the Hawaiian islands. but they
fear international complications and the loss
Of It's control in an emergency should the
cable touch anywhere than on British soil.
In fact, IL is very doubtful whether the
cable could be landed at Hawaii without
the assent OF the Dnlted states uDcer the
present treaty stipulations, although, in
view of the Importance of the cable for our
own use, IL NAV be that such assent would
not Re withheld. AS for Neckar island. If
the Hawaiian title is good, which cannot
be determined at present. the United states
government unquestionably would be bound
to protect the island republic in its rights
against the world.
Not Ready for Another Bond Issue.
WASHINGTON. June Alt can be stated
on the best authority that the published
statements that another bond issue is in
contemplation are absolutely without
foundation. Mr.. Carlisle, when questioned
to-day in regard TO the matter. stated that
the subject OF another bond issue had not
been even mentioned in the Cabinet, and
that he had had no conference with the
President regarding II. II is believed by
those whose opinions are OF value that the
question of another bond issue viii not be
considered until the cash balance and the
gold reserve are much lower than they
are at present The cash balance in the
was SUI, ii9,0e9, OF which Si5,i66, l66 Is gold
