To-Day In tangls over the mayoralty
uestion. The registrars of voters have
given their official declaration that both
O'Connell and Lyttle received the same
number of votes. s061. On these returns
neither man is elected. The city charter
provides that in the failure to elect a
mayor, q special election shall be ordered
by the board OF aldermen. This will
probably be the next move. When this is
done, it is expected that o Cornell Will
ask the Supreme court to Issue an injunc-
ton restraining the aldermen from CALI

which were counted for Lyttle that
O'Connell claims should have been
thrown out on the ground that they are
illegal. On these ballots O'Connsll VIII

1t was rough house game from start
to finish, but Portland won out much
to the delight OF the big crowd. IL was
the polo game OF the year, fast, exciting
and with Just enough of the rough work
in 1t to make 1t spicy. There were
scraps OF the old-fashioned sort, little
encounters In the corners between the
rushers and half backs, crowd which
was brim full OF en- thusiasm and which
shouted AT everything and Kissed the OPP
posing team TO its hearts content. Conway
was the star performer Of the game. He
got more Kisses and conferred on him

start to the last sound OF the gong. He

as one fan expressed It, Conway Is fast
player ana last night was SO aggressive
that he carried the fight ont OF the
hall with him and was still looking for
the referee to square matters with him
at last accounts. The reason for Con-
ways hostility at the referee, arose from
the fact that this rlaysr was fined 81 on
the floor for interference with ether play
ers and for 'sassing' the referse. In the
dressing room he took occasion to say
some nice things to the referee and 1t cost
him just 50 for the privilege. The crowd
was delighted with the way Conway was
handled by the Portland men he run
across on tho floor and by the punish
ment meted out to him by the referee.
All the same Conway put up good
game of polo and added much to the ex-
element of the game.
1t was give and take from the very

ment. Mr.. Harmon briefly recited the
circumstances of the Philippine case.
The chief points were:
"By the treaty OF peace between the
United States and spain, the Philiupines
became q part OF the United States, the
government andEthe citizens Of the Unit
cd States both snter said islands under
the authority of the Constitution with
their respective rights defined ana marked
out; the former can exercise no power
over the person or property Of citizen
of the United Statss beyond what that
instrument conters, nor lawfully deny
any right which it has reserved.
being a part OF the United St1tss, the
Philippine Islands are subject to the pro
visions OF clause, l section s.article Land
OF clauses and q, section 8, articls l, OF
the Constitution OF the United states.
''The President or the United States
has no legislative power.
Mr.. Harmon elaborated these main
points, citing and discussing many deois-
ions In support OF them. In the course
of his argument, Me-. Harmon conceded
that Congress could govern the new
territories in any way 1t cav lit, so long
as the form of government came within
the Constitution; 1t might be by gov
ernor or governor general, or by COM
mission, 90 long as the former was not
repugnant to the Constitution.
Attorney General ariggs began at 20
the presentation OF the governments
position In the case.
MIR. Griggs began In quiet and con-
YER sational style, seldom reasorting to
gestures or emphasis. lie said that as
counsel had been wandering In the
fields and pluoking the flowers OF elo-
qusnce," he would first give a main
statement of the issues involved.
Among those who came in tn hear the
attorney ganeral was Representative Lit
tIetield OF Maine, whose spesnh in the
Porto Rico debate was one OF the most
notable expressions on the status OF the
new insuiar possessions. Justice Brewer
inquired of the attorney general soon
zona and New Mexico came in the same
category with the new possession in the
limitations which could be placed upon
them.
MIR. Griggs said he would later consider
how far the territories In this country
and those beyond the sea rested on the
same basis. As the attorney general pro-
ceeded, he warmed up to his subjsct at
times speaking with great emphasis and
pounding home his noints by resound-
ing blows on this table before him. Sec
rstary Gage came in during the latter
part OF thsaday.
Mr.. Griggs's argument was not con-
cluded when at 80 the court adjourned
until tomorrow.
Mr.. Hriggs will conclude tomorrow.
MIR. AIdrtcn will tomorrow close the
debate for the plaintiffs.

WORD 1RREYOCABLE."
Causes Trouble In Chi
nese Negotiations.

LONDON, OecemDer tcs-nAEs Ohoeeot s-'o
Unitsd States ambassador, had long
conference this afternoon regarding the
Chinese situation with the secretary or
OF state of the foreign affairs, the Marquis
OF Landsowne and subsequently, Mr..
Henry White, secretary Of the United
States embassy. paid visit to the for
eign office. The greatest secrecy is main
tanned as to the outcome OF thess CONSUL
tations. What could be learned from
British and American sources varied con-
siderabiy, the former expressing annoy
ancs and anxiety, the latter maintai ming
that nothing serious was developing.
Some explanation, however, was
gathered by a representative OF the Asso-
ciated Press Of the extraordinary tangie
in which the Chinese negotiations have
reosntly been mixed up, and some recon-
Citation of the contradictory kilograms
that have emanated from PekiD and
various European capitals.
IL appears that, over a week ago, the
powers came to an agreemnt to eliminate
the word "irrevocabls' from the joint
note. Then. when 1t was believed that
everything had been settled, objections
were raised and Great Britain, for the
sake of harmony, although much against
her will, agreed to reinsert the lire
vocable clause"
In this, 1t ia believed, she was sup
ported by the United States.
Once more the joint note seemed on
the verge Of 81 ynsture, when a misunder-
standing arose in Pekin.' This confused
the governments and formed the subject
OF the despatch from Secretary Hay,
which Mr.. Choste transmitted to the
Marquis of Lansdowne today. As a re-
suit OF the interview, MIR. Choate has
ssns long cablegram to Secretary Hay,
In which he attributes the latest niisun-
Outstanding to an error in forwarding In
structlons, an error which occurred pre-
sumabIy to the cable company and which
caused MIR. Conger and Sir Ernest Satow,
the British minister In Pekin, to take
opposits views, although their home gov
ernmsnts were perfectly agreed.
The United States embassy while nom
committal, hopes that today's conferences
will clear I'm the muddls and bring about
q signing OF the joint note in Pekin
within few days.
On the other hand, the British foreign
Office IL not quite so hopeful. Officials
there profess to be rather at ses ss to
whether the Conditions are to be ire
vocahIe or otherwise. Indications point
to their being irrevocable. British
officials admit that they gave in under
protest and with distinct reservation
that, although the demands are ire
vocable, this In no way nscessitates an
enforcement OF the demands by European
troops. 10 such courss Great Britain
cannot and will not agree.
Consequently, compliance with the
'Irrevocabls" clause will be somewhat
of a farce on the part OF Great Britain
and this feature of the case becomes more
interesting when taken In conjunction
with the statement authoritativeIy made
here that Great Britain and the United
States are in the same boat in the Joint
note negotiations,
