der.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The first Skin
mish over the senate amendment to the
naval appropriation bill, reducing the
number of battleships provided for in
that bill from four to two, occurred in
the house today, when Mr.. BoutelIe
chairman of the naval committee, moved
to non-concur in all the senate amend
ments and require conference of the
senate.
Mr.. Boutelle undertook to chastise some
of the senators for their inconsistency.
He referred TO the war scares of the
past, and the bellicose resolutions in
troduced in the senate. and then sarcas-
tically contrasted the war talk of some
duce the number of battleships provided
for in the bill.
Mr.. Quigg Rep) N. Y, called Mr..
Boutelle to order for criticizing mem

lively sparring.
Mr.. Boutelle, however, accomplished
all he had intended, despite the chairs

action until tomorrow, when it is likely
that the whole question of large appro-
priations at this time for STRENGTHEN

tilated.
Quite a number of bills were passed
during the day, mostly of minor i'm
portance. Among them were bills for the
protection of yacht owners and ship
builders: to pension Joseph P. West at

Relations Between Them.
MADRID, May 4.-The ambassador
from Russia, who has arrived here to
put in effect the purpose to mutually
convert the Spanish and Russian lega-
lions into embassies, presented his Gre
dentials to the queen regent today. He
said that the cars intention is to de-
vote himself with zeal to further an
improvement in the mutual friendly re-
lations between Spain and Russia. The
queen regent replied, dwelling upon her
satisfaction at the elevation of the Rus
sian mission to an embassy as proof
of the czar's sympathy. This step on
the part of the two governments is re-
garded as very significant. The rela-
tions between the two are known to be
most intimate and the attitude of the
Russian press in declaring that Amer
lea was at fault in interfering in the
Cuban affair, which, according to Rus
sian newspapers, only concerns Spain.
has already been much remarked.

HAMMOND'S ILLNESS.
HE Is STILL IN A VERY CRITICAL
CONDITION.
His Speech to the Committee Has the
Ring of True Americanism

NEW YORK, May A dispatch to
the World from Cape Town says: John
Hays Hammond is still very i'll. His
wife expects TO become a mother very
soon.
Samuel Lichtenstaeder, an American
who has just returned to New York
from johannesburg, says: 1.-THE johann
nesburg reform committee met last
Christmas day at Cecil Rhodes house
to receive instructions from him for
the movement against the Beers. 1
was present. Rhodes instructions
were that the reformers should
MARCH INTO JOHANNESBURG
under the British flag and when the
town was captured a triumph of Brit
ish arms should be proclaimed.
1.-The reading of the instructions was
followed by a silence of some minutes.
Then Hammond arose and said: Not
for all the wealth this land contains;
not if you were to make me the abso-
lutte ruler would / have a hand in car
rying out those instructions.
" I can pull a trigger to shoot down
an oppreSsor but I cannot and will not
be party to a revolutionary intrigue.
If L am going to take up arms I'M
der any flag, it will be the one that is
flying today over the ocean, under the
banner of a free people, who believe in
revolution as a remedy for oppression
but who hate, with a Kaffir's hatred,
the rape of a free peoples territory
Gentlemen, you can count me out
The reformers, nearly all of whom
are Britains,
WE'RE THUNDERSTRUCK.
After he had spoken they realized
that Cecil Rhodes order must be re-
vised. jameson however refused to be
called off. He insisted on carrying out
his part of the original programme of
conquest. But when he invaded the
Transvaai, the Uitlanders, Influenced
by Hammond, gave him no aid, and
the raid failed miserably.
Rhodes and Jameson being English
men, are now enjoying the powerful
protection of the British government
whose agents they were, while Ham
mond and the other Americans are
made to pay the penalty of the others
crimes.

NOVEL AND AGGRESSIVE.

He rehearSed briefly, the Wariike mes

Venezuela and the prec1pitate action OF
the house and senate.
NOVEL AND AGGRESSIVE.
He went on to refer to the remarkable
and extraordinary proposition advanced
III the senate to maintain this novel
and aggressive attitude" He briefly
sketched the bills introduced by Mr.
Chandler for the purchase OF 500, 900, $50
OF war material the resolution of Mr..
Hale for calling out the naval reserve and
the purchase of vessels and all other bills
and resolutions introduced bearing on the
Cuban question. He quoted from Mr.
Vests speech in the senate in which the
Missouri senator referred to Spain as a
''toothess old WOLF a speech which Mr..
Boutelle said caused great excitement
throughout Spain. He was proceeding
to read Senator Mills resolution when
Mr. Quigg (Rep. N. " jumped to his
feet and called Mr. BoutelIe to order for
violating the rule which provides that
members of the house shall not criticize
the proceedings in the senate.
WE'LL TAKEN.
1.-The chair has the impression that the
point of order is well TAKEN" Speaker
Reed said, amid some applause. Mr..
Boutelle protested against such ruling,
declaring that the idea that d member
could not read from the records of the
senate or any other legislative body on
earth was a 'monstrous proposition"
He said he was amazed at such an in
fantile point of order.
Speaker Reed explained coolly and
courteously to Mr. Boutelle, the rule
which prohibits members of the house
from criticizing members of the senate
and the reason for the rule.
Mr.. Boutelle still contended that the
speaker should define his privilege but
the speaker declined further than to say
that he could proceed in order"
WAS NOT CONTENT.
With this indefinite license Mr. Boutelle
was not content and again asked the
speaker to tell him whether he could
read from the record. He did not want
to be interrupted again, he said, by the
'superserviceable zeal of certain mem
berS who bobbed up on every occasion"
Mr.. Boutelle then moved to non-concur
in the senate amendments
Mr.. Cannon. chairman of the appropria-
ton committee gave notice that he would
demand vote in the house on the senate
amendment to reduce the number of
batleships. After some sparring, Mr..
Savers entered the motion to concur in
it was arranged that the matters should
go over until tomorrow when the vote
will be taken.
Mr.. Picker moved to suspend the rules
and pass a resolution setting aside We'd
nesday, the 9Th, and Wednesday, the 18th,
for the consideration of private pension
bills under a rule allowing ten minutes
debate on each bill. The Democrats re-
sisted the motion and when the roll was
called the quorum failed, 114-44, and there
upon the house adjourned.

Messrs. Sherman, Gray and Gordon sup

reading the statute providing that any

Mr. Hill continued at length. 1t became
apparent that Mr.. Hill was speaking
mainly to consume time, and the gall
leries became thinned and but few sena-
tors remained in their seats.
Mr. Vest entered the chamber and in
terrupted Mr.. Hill to secure, as he
stated, some information as to the bust

issue between the treasury department
and j. Pierpont Morgan"

Carlisle, as trustee, should not have al

bond bids to Morgan & Co., but should
have again offered them for sale and
thus allow the government the advantage
of the rise in the price which resulted
after the bonds had been on the market

Mr.. Hill explained that the Morgan bid
was regular and in true business form,
and its acceptance was quite proper.
While the Republican side was deserted,
Mr.. Mills Unexpectedly requested Mr. Hill
to allow him to move an adjournment,
stating that he believed Mr.. Hill to be

Mr.. Hill acquiesced and the motion
carried.
Messrs. Lodge and Chandler and other
Republicans hurriedly entered the cloak
rooms and made an effort to defeat
the motion by call for a quorum and
yea and nay vote.
Both were refused, and on a division
the motion stood Is to II in favor of adj
journing, and then at 5 p. m. the senate
adjourned until tomorrow.

spoke of his membership of Harmon
lodge, extending over period of thirty
years, and recalled to memory the
thrilling temperance speeches of Father
Harmon, whose name the subordinate
lodge previously bore. Mr.. Woods ad-
dress was forcible, touching and elo-
quent, and he was listened to with rapt
attention.
The duet by Archie and Edna Barnett
was appropriate and both possessing
beautiful voices, was rendered with rare
effect.
Rev. VIM. Hoskins, of Cascade Locks,
responded to the addresses of welcome
in well-chosen words. His zeal in the
temperance cause is secondary to none
and his speech was effective, convincing
and of unvarying interest throughout.
Prof. G. w. Travis gave character

sponded to an encore with Marc An

received merited applause, though too
young erhaps to appreciate it's meaning.
Miss Martha Schooling gave an inter-
estiDg and appropriate recitation, which
she rendered very nicely
Miss Myrtle Michel then sang q solo,
rendered in that young lady's best style,
which was much appreciated.
The presentation by Mrs. Matte Bar
nett, G. S. ]. T., of the banner to Forest

portant feature of the evening. Forest.
Grove lodge had made the largest in

GOOD TEMPLARs.
ThIrty-second Session of the Grand
Lodge, L. o. G. T.

The K. of P. hall had been engaged as
the place for holding the sessions of this
meeting, and at that place at p. M
yesterday, w. w. Breeden, grand chief
templar, called the members of the
grand lodge to order, and the meeting
was opened in the regular ritualistic
style, after which the committee on Gre
dentials reported fifty-two persons en-
titled to the grand lodge degree. Part of
them being without the district degree
it was found necessary to confer it upon
Merrill was appointed to confer the dis
trict degree upon those entitled to it.
He then reported those in waiting as
ready and entitled to the grand lodge
degree and it was conferred upon the
delegates and all others entitled to it.
Those who know think the instruction
in this degree very helpful and impress
sive and under Grand Chief Templar w.
w. Breeden it was made doubly so.
After the new members had been ad-
mitted, the grand lodge opened in the
subordinate degree, at which time all
members of the subordinate lodges are
admitted, while working in this degree.
REPORTS.
The grand chief templar's report
showed that though the hard times had
hindered the work, yet there was
hopeful outlook for the future, and bid
the members take courage and press on
ward, as there was bright future before
them.
Grand Secretary W. s. Hurst's report
showed, that with all the changes during
the past year, there had been an increase
in membership, there now being fifty
two lodges with an aggregate member
ship of 2,104. More than $1,000 has
been received and expended in carrying
on this work. The other reports were
postponed till another time.
Greetings were exchanged with the
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
Greetings were ordered sent to the
Woman's Suffrage convention, now
holding its first Oregon convention in
Portland.
The evening exercises were in the
WILL OA q WStCOLno W Tue Wishing Irl6nOs.
1t was very pleasant affair and was
open to the general public.
There was an opening chorus by the
choir, after which Rev. w. G. Curtis
lead in prayer.
The greeting of Juvenile Temple was
given by eight little girls, each display
ing letter as she repeated little
verse of greeting, the eight letters, as
displayed, when the verses had been re-
cited forming the word greeting.
The address of welcome in behalf of
the city, was given by Hon. John Michel
and our state senator elect extended
very hearty welcome to our visitors,
speaking many words of encouragement
and interest.
He was followed by Rev. John Wood,
who extended a welcome from the subor-
dinate lodges of the city. In earnest, inn
passioned language he dwelt upon the
