ITS CLOSING DAYS.
Three fourths of the Bills
Presented Will Go By.
Default.

The closing days of the session
deyelope anxious faces and very
busy men everywhere, on the floor
of both houses and in the lobby,
for it is foreordained that about
five hundred out of the six hundred
bills that have been introduced
will not reach a third reading be-
fore adj, urnment. Thoughtless
people, and those who do not under
stand, will of course attribute this
failure to some shortcoming of legis-
lators, but such is not the case.
Oregon has had practically no
legislation since 1898, and it was
reasonably expected that a great
many bills would be introduced,
and if it had not heen for the
partial relief afforded by the special
session, the condition here now
would be much worse.
A certain amount of routine work
is necessary on every bill that is
introduced. 1t must be read a first
time, a second time, then referred
to a committee, acted upon there,
reported back, engrossed, and then
presented for q third and final
passage. And on the passage of
each, except local or corporation
bills, there is necessarily a good
deal of discussion. Sometimes the
discussion of single bill will oc-
cupy an entire sitting, and often
two sittings. So you see that it is
little wonder that three-fourths
the bills presented at this session
will g3by default. The more bills
that are introduced, this less chance
there is that they will ever reach
final consideration.
The prevailing feeling in the
senate is economy, and no bill has
passed nor will pass which appro-
pirates money for any purpose
without being subjected to the
closest scrutiny.
One of the most prolific sources
of new bills comes from amend
ments to city charters, and there
is scarcely county in Oregon that
has not sent in from one to five o.
these bills.
The bill attracting most attention
here is what is called the Daily tex
book bill, and it has had an event
full career. The American Book Co
have a strong lobby here fighting it
and it is the common talk of th'
lobby that money is being freely
used to defeat the bill. 1t passee
the senate by a large vote anc
comes up for final action in thu
house tomorrow.
The legislative excursion TO Cor
Wallis was the most talked of even
of the session, and all of those wh'
participated speak in the highes
terms of the Corvallis people ant
the treatment they received.
| There is little to write now, bu
in day or two many changes vii
take place, for the next three day
will be spent in the passage of bills
as after tomorrow no bills can pas
between the houses. Next wee
we will have positive news of wha

New York, July 16.-About 1000
employees of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit company struck this morning at
5:15 The men left the cars where
ihey w6re at that hour. There has
been no violence and no rioting There
IS no telling how far reaching the
strike may become.
For some weeks past the employees
of the several lines controlled by the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company have
been complaining that the manage
ment did not live up TO the ten-h0ur
law. The men demand q revision 1f
The time tables al the different barns
ard also claim they should be paid 20
cents an hour for over tine, which IS
equivalent to 81, the price which they
set for the working day CT ten hours.
Meetings have been held daily and
n ghtly for the last week and il was
inferred from the reports given out by
the employees and their advisers since
Thursday last that while a strike was
imminent, it would not occur for some
days to come
Shortly after midnight about 1000
policemen from precincts in the Man
haitian and Bronx districts were con
veyed to the different barns and many
were placed along the several routes
comprising the territory covered by
the Brooklyn Transit company. Up
to half past seven o'clock there were
few cars run over those lines. and
those that were sent out from the diff
ferent barns were policed by two,
three and four conStables.
Throughout the afternoon boulders
and large pieces of granite were taken
from a nearby yard and placed on the
tracks in the vicinity OF Greenwood
cemetery, and the cars came along al
intervals of twenty and thirty min
utes. Further progress was delayed
until these obstrucc.0ns were removed.
No sooner did the cars pass than '5ha
boulders were laid on the tracks again
and the police were unable to stop the
efforts of the obstructionists. During
the day 300 additional police were
sent over from New York and close
watch was kept along Brooklyn bridge
to see that no person could interfere
with the trolley wires. Several ar
rests were made during the day amonr
the ranks of the strikers and Their

Washington, July 16--The new
treaty between the U2lted States and
Japan goes into effect tomorrow, at
which time also new treaties between
Japan and nearly all of the countries
of Europe and some of the South
American republics also go into eff
feet.
II is an event of far reaching i'm
portance in the relations between
Japan and the United States, as It
does away with the treaty methods
which have been IN vogue for nearly
fifty years and substitutes an entirely
new method of procedure The same
IS true of the relations of Japan with
other countries. Taken as a whole,
many of the new treaties which go
into effect tomorrow will place Japan
on an entirely different footing with
the world at large, as she is recog-
nized for the first time as an equal in
every aspect.
