lowing paragraph in leading editoria
in its column to carry out thii
purpose:
"The great issue in Oregon at the
coming election is whether the indie
pendent voters Of all parties have The

Portland on this issue will be very

lature gives the mayor Of that city the

stone unturned to gain it. They also

ous measures"
Democrats dare not 60 before the
public on the issues involved in the
coming June election in Oregon, and

1898, and during the present session
both houses of congress have been
Democratic. Fer, the first time in
moro than thirty years, Democracy has
been at the helm of the nation, and the
people, in their sovereign capacity, are

TROUBLE IMPENDING.

The Senate Revision of the Tarin Bill Criticised by House Democrats It's flight Protective Features Not in Ac- cord with the Ideas of the Men Who Framed the Wilson Bill or the Demands of Tariff Reform.
 WASHINGTON, May 9.-The changes made by the senate committee in the tariff bill are not acceptable to the democrats of the house. The demo- cratic members of the ways and means committee who framed the Wilson tariff bill and other leading repre- sentatives do not conceal their disap- pointment that the house measure should have been so materially modi- fled.
 A general canvass of the house yes- terday disclosed no intention on the part of the democrats to resist the sen- ate changes in an arbitrary spirit, but it developed the fact that the house democrats generally were entirely sat isfied with the bill as it went to the senate. and no attempt was made to conceal their regret that it should not have been returned to them in prac- tically it's original form.
 
 speaking of the amendments made by the senate committee that some of the increases are not demanded either bv the manufacturers or by the country. ''To give free wool and a reduction on the chemicals and dyes used in their manufacture" said he, with a high rate on woolen goods, is policy not in accord with the demands of tariff reform or the best interests of the country. I realize that the senate committee has labored under many difficulties and that they have yielded some points which they would gladly have refused. But many of the in- creases are excessive and hope that the senate itself will reject them and not call upon the house to concur with them. The democrats have only one ma jority in the senate and they must move cautiously. They have not dared to reduce the rate in tax imposed on in comes and that never will be reduced either by the senate or the house."
 Mir. Whiting, of Michigan, another member of the ways and means com mittee, said that he did not see how ShS houSS Souiu oSSSPO ah iiSiCdoC III the cotton schedule. Cotton goods, he said, ''are consumed by the poorer people who are unable to buy woolen goods. To put cotton goods in the hands of the trust is an outrage. think the public will oppose the in- creased duty on tobacco.
 Mr. Springer, of Illinois, who was the chairman of the ways and means committee in the last congress. ex- pressed regret at the changes which had been made, but added, philosoph- ically, that all tariff measures must be the work of concession and com pro- mise.
 These interviews might be extended indefinitely, but the gentlemen quoted above apparently reflect the sentiment of all their democratic associates, many others of whom were seen and whose objections to the changes were based upon su bstantially the same lines.

The foreman had some difficulty in explaining it, and this led a lawyer for the defense to object to the finding on the ground that the clerk of the court had misunderstood the verdict and had wrongly recorded it. The objec- tion was overruled.
 The finding of the jury was that Coxey, Browne, and Jones are guilty on the first count which charges them with carrying banners designed to bring the Coxey men into prominence on the capitol grounds. On the sec- ond count, of unlawfully tramping on the grass of the capitol grounds, Coxey and Browne are found guilty, while the charge against Jones was dis missed.
 Mir. Lipscomb gave notice of a mo- tion for a new trial and asked for an arrest of judgment. The motion will be returpable in four days.
 There was no demonstration when the finding was announced, as the judge had cautioned the bailiffs to ar rest any man who acted indecorously. At the instance of the district attor- ney the bail of the defendants was re- newed in the sum of $500 each, after which the court adjourned. The pen atty imposed by the statute for offen- ses of this kind, is fine or imprison- ment or both at the discretion of the judge of the police court-thc fine not to exceed Sl00, the imprisonment not 10 exceed sixty days.

TROUBLE AT SPRINGFIELD.
Passengers, Mail and Militia Trains
Sidetracked.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. July 2.-Trouble
broke out on the Wabash road here to-
day, the first instance being when the
Cannon Ball. train from Quincy was side
tracked. This was followed up by the reg
ular mail train from Quincy to Lafayette
being sidetracked. Three companies OF mill

were held here for five hours. They were
en- route from Decatur. The engineers said
they would handle all mail trains, but
would not haul a single militiamen. b. c.

took the officials OF the road here four
hours to get out a carload of supplies for
the troops that had been switched in be-
tween forty freight by the switch
men before they went on strike: Pins were
pulled. and air hose cut, and all things
done 10 handicap them in their work. The
engineer of the regular train was pulled

got on the engine of the soldiers train
and started it for Decatur 1t got stuck
two miles out for want of water, but was
finally gotten out and on its way to De-
catur. The Cannon Ball. and. one other
mail train are still here. An attempt will
be made to move both of them this even
ing. The strikers say they will not inter-
rot be allowed to move. The federal au-
thorities will be asked for assistance II
the mail trains are not started.
Judge Allen ordered Marshal Brinton and
deputies to East ST. Louis to protect prop
erty of the Toledo, St Louis * Kansas
City railroad. better known the Glover
Leaf line. which is in possession of the
court. and Deputy Marshal Westfall left
for there tonight, armed with bench war
rants for the arrest of the strikers for OBJ

the arrest of strikers at Danvie on the
same charge. on complaint of Superintend-

ENGINEERS TO MEET
DIRECTOR CRAIG, OF THE BROTH
ERHOOD, SUMMONED TO CHICAGO.
He Receives Telegram from Chief
Arthur-Is Sure His Order Will
Not Strike.

Charles Craig. of No. 452 East Market
gineers and a member of the board of di-
rectors of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, was summoned to Chicago last
night by Chief Arthur. At the Union Sta
ton Mr.. Craig said that he did not know
why the directors were to meet, but sup
posed that it was in regard to the strike.
1T is pretty sure that the brotherhood
will not STRIKE" he remarked. AT least,
they will not go out as a body. We have
wrongs TO right This is not fight,
and we have no members who belong TO
the American Railway Union. An engineer
cannot be a member of that body and of
the brotherhood. My opinion is that some
of the brotherhood men think they ought to
strike out of sympathy, and need straight
ening up. There is nothing in
common between the two organiza-
tions. The brotherhood is not particu-
larly friendly toward the Railway Union,
either This man Howard who is vice pres
ident of the union, was formerly member
of the brotherhood, but was expelled from
the order. You can depend upon il that
there will be no strike OF the brotherhood
There may be a few men who think that
they ought to quit out of sympathy but if
the brotherhood can keep them from going
out they will do so. This telegram is a
mystery TO me. l can't understand why the
directors should be summoned to Chicago
at this time"

WASHINGTON, July Mai. Gen. Mel
son a. Miles. commander of the Depart
ment of the Missouri, with headquarters at
Chicago, was in this city tonight, and his
arrival resulted in an extended conference
at the White House between the Presi-
dent, Secretary Gresham, Secretary La
mont Major General Schofield, Attorney
general Olney and Major General Miles and
his aid. General Miles has been leave
for the past two weeks, but had been re-
called. owing to the disturbances at and
near Chicago, and before returning to his
post was summoned here In order that the
situation might be, discussed and plans for
possible contingencies made more freely
than would be possible by wire or rail
Immediately on reaching this city this
evening General Miles called on Secretary
Lamont. and the two repaired at once to
the White House. General Schofeld was
sent for. and Attorney general Olney. who
had been at the Department of Justice dur
Ing the evening awaiting news from the
West, soon joined them. Secretary Gresh-
am also arrived a few minutes later. The
conference continued until nearly midnight,
and at it's close the officials were very re-
ticent in regard to its result.
II was learned, however, that the situa-
ton had been reviewed in detail, and the
general policy of the administration, as
outlined In early dispatches, was reiter
ated. The views expressed were 10 the
effect that, while the strike was likely TO
fail of its own weight and from lack of
thorough organization, yet it was neces
sary for all authorities TO be on the alert
and to check at the outset any overt and
lawless act 1t was held that the law, was
amply sufficient to authorize federal in

as we'll as when mails were interfered with
or the nterstate-commerce act infringed.
No specific directions were given to Gen.
Miles. whose long service and brilliant
record entities him to the utmost conf
deDce. He will leave for Chicago to-mor-
row morning and resume control of his
forces concentrated near that point.
Both the Attorney-general and Secretary
OF War were anxiously looking for news
from the scene of troubles tonight, but
so far as could be learned dispatches
were received. The officials expressed
themselves as relieved and encouraged by
