PORTLAND AND SEATTLE MAY
HAVE TWO CLUBS EACH.
DucDALE WILL NOT QUIT
Baseball War Probable in the Two
Coast Cities the Coming
Season.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 11.-Portland
and Seattle are to join with San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles, Oakland and Sac
ramento in the formation of a Pacific
coast baseball league. The Portland
Pacific league club controls the pres
ent grounds, and if there is also a
Northwest league club here it will
have to secure new quarters. The
promoters of the Seattle Pacific lea
que club have leased new grounds,
the Northwest league people having
possession of those used last season.
1t is believed President Lucas of the
Northwest league will see that both
Portland and Seattle have clubs in
that organization next year.

DEMOCRATS IN SENATE WILL
ENDORSE PRESIDENT.
STRAIGHT ANTITRUST BILL
Without Tariff Features Heretofore
Insisted On, Will Receive
Their Support.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Rather a pc
culiar situation is developing in con-
gress concerning antitrust legisla-
ton. While it has been conceded
from the outset, and is regarded as
certain, that the house of representa-
tives will pass a bill along the lines
of President Ro%osevelt's message,
doubts and uncertainties have been
freely expressed relative to the fate
of any bill in the senate.
But early this week things took a
new turn in the upper legislative
branch of congress. Several demo
cratic senators have decided to vigor-
ously support an antitrust bill, and
some Of them will hasten to prepare
speeches in Endorsement of the pres
ident.
Heretofore the democratic conten-
ton has been to couple tariff revision
as the panacea for the trust evil. 1t
vas proposed that the duty should

consolidated capital might be proper.
ly restrained.
But the new democratic program in
the senate has cut out that feature.
And in so doing the senators who have
decided to support a straight-out anti.
trust bill will play a game of politics.
There is a corterie of democrats
composed of Bailey Of Texas, Patter.
son of Colorado, Carmack of Tennes-
see, Dubois of Idaho, Bacon of
Georgia and the inevitable Tillman,
who will urge the antitrust bill and
speak in it's behalf.
Their theory is this: That the
republican leaders in the senate do
not want any legislation passed at
this session aside from the regular
appropriation bills, and a few other
measures like immigration and the
amended bankruptcy law.
The claim is made that Aldrich,
Hanna, Elkins, Hale, Plat of New
York, and Platt, of Connecticut, in
fact, a majority of eastern senators,
hope to have the democrats couple
the tariff with the trust question, and
thus prevent legislation at this ses-
sion.
1t is an interesting situation from
any standpoint.

THE WEEKS
SOCIAL DOINGS

THE poverty ball given by the Rag
time Whist club in the Daniel Boone
cabin tuesday evening was as much
enioJ ed by the participants as it was
unique in character. 1t had been
planned to take place a little later
in the season but owing to the ap-
preaching departure of Miss Marion
Panton, who has been a member of
the club, it was decided that it should
take the place of the regular meet
ing Tuesday evening. The idea of
abject poverty was carried out in ev-
cry particular. The invitations were
ragged, so were the programs, as
were the dancers. But while it was
distinctly understood that all should
come in rags and patches, at the same
time there was a stipulation that ali
should wear only the club colors, red,
yellow and green. Perhaps the gay
colors conteracted the squalor of the
rags. Whatever the reason may have
been "a jollier party never assembled
in the cabin, which has been the scene
of SO many happy gatherings. Of
course the excellent music, provided
by Messrs. Charles Whitney, and Earl
Morse helped very much to enliven
the proceedings. Rather than have a
lack of harmony anywhere, the re-
freshments provided were in keeping
with everything else, but never was
a banquet more enjoyed. Fhe mem
bers of the club, who we're all pres
ent, were Misses Georgia Mcconnell,
Lena Richtman, Lillian Allen, Laura
Reed, Marion Panton, Blanche Mickey,
and Messrs. L. Worthington,
F. De Clergue, H. Wilson,
H. Coleman, j. Hoyt and H. KEEL
sey. The guests were the Misses
Patti Buchanan, Alice Mccormick,
Isabelle Martin, Marie Sleeper and
Grace Church and Messrs. Orc Mickey,
D. Moss, F. S. Gordon, F. Todd, G.
Clark and J. Mccormick.

very much to enhance the interest of

WHY THE ROW.

st. Paul Dispatch: The British and
German ministers resident to Vene'
zuela have delivered ultimatums, and
closing up their Offices, have taken
ship aboard the warships Of their re-
spective countries, where they wait
the reply of President Castro. He
issues a proclamation addressed to
the surrounding atmosphere, but is
silent upon the %ultimatum, which puts
it up to him to pay some debts due

itors. How did Venezuela come to
get into the Englishman's and Ger
mans debt? 1t is the old story; one
we in Minnesota heard much of in
the years prior to 1881. A poor coun-
try desiring railways; a foreign cor
poration willing to build if the state
will guarantee interest on bonds;
roads built; cry of fraud raised by
state; payments stopped; negotia-
tons, and now warships.
Years ago some Venezuelan presi-
dent elected by bullets, DESTROYS,
probably, of laying up a retiring fund
in Paris on which to live when the
next election by bullets ousted him
and installed the victor, gave conces-
sions for the building of four or five
railway lines, and he and his con-
gress also agreed to guarantee the in
terest at Z per cen on bonds issued
by the companies if the companies
failed to earn enough over operating
expenses to pay it, which, of course,
they were expected to do. The bonds
were taken by the Nord Deutscher
bank and the Disconto Geschellschaft,
German financial institutions. Vene-
Zuela claims that these banks, at the
instance of Krupp, furnished the
equipment for the railways at a fig.
ure so extravagant that the cost of
building was $145,000 a mile. AS if
this was not enough, Venezuela says,
the roads were managed at an annual
expense of $500 a miles, so as to
leave no surplus with which to pay
the interest on the bonds.
Meantime the years rolled along,
each bringing it's bill for interest
which was not paid, the president
being engaged in fighting some other
fellow who wanted to be president, or
else in getting out of the country be-
cause the fellow who wanted to be
was too much for him. When the ar
rearages of interest had run into the
millions and pressure was brought

$5,2O0,O0O on something OF other. but
not on the bonds. Anyway, the debt
is as big as ever, and the interest ac-
count bigger than before. This is
Venezuela's side of the story. Prob
ably there is some truth in it. For
eigners do not build railroads in such
countries for their health.

Fight to the Finish.

Fight to the Finish. NV
Seattle, Dec. 11.-Henry Harris of
San Francisco, the baseball magnate,
who is in Seattle with Jack Marshall
OF the Portland team, said tonight that
Portland had jumped the Pacific
Northwest league, and that unless
Manager Dugdale Joined forces with
the new combination, California, Ore
gon and Washington, another team
would be placed in Seattle. Manager
Dugdale did not give Harris a direct
reply, but Dugdale will not desert the
Northwest league. If another club is
placed in Seattle it will be a fight to
a finish. George Lamping, county
auditor, is named as the leading local
light in the new organization, which
is alleged to have already secured
grounds. Gus Klopf, formerly third
baseman for Seattle, and Charles
Schwartz of San Francisco, last sea.
sons captain of the Seattle team, are
said to be associated with Lamping
in h new team.
Portland has already jumped" said
Harris, land Seattle will either join
us or there will be two clubs in Seat
tie next year. We had a prosperous
season this year. but we want these
two northern cities to add interest
to the race. We have eight months
of baseball, and while it is true that
the Seattle team will have to open
and close the season way from home,
she will have games all during the
summer months, closely punched.
With this organization we think we
will have the third strongest league
in the country. Dugdale has all along
opposed consolidation. We think.
however. that some consideration is
due him, and we will give him a
chance to take a piece of stock and
come in with us. If he does not, then
the company already organized will
put in a team in Seattle, and Seat
tie will be asked to support two
teams. Men here have secured
grounds centrally located and will be-
gin the erection of stands and pre-
pare for the opening of the season."
Harris, with Lamping and Marshall,
made a straight proposition to Dug
dale to desert the Pacific Northwest
league, but Dugdale replied: This is
too sudden; give me time" He was
given until tomorrow morning. Dug
dale is for the Pacific Northwest lea
que first, last and all the time. "The
Pacific Northwest league" said Dug
daie tonight, twill not give up one
OF its towns II Portland has jumped
we will put in another team there.
If this new combination wants to put
a team in Seattle, all right. It means
a baseball war, fought to a finish. We
will either win fighting or go down
fighting.
81 know men with money who stand
ready to put it up for a franchise for
Portland. The Pacific Northwest lea
que is a member of an aggregation
comprising Is minor leagues, and we
will put up a solid front against this
invasion of our territory. War will
prove a bad thing for the game. We
will all lose money, but if war is
forced, we will not dodge the ISSUE
While Harris is in Seattle trying
for the dismemberment of the Pacific
Northwest league, President Lucas
is in California with unlimited power
from the minor league association to
get California into the association.

Apples are now at their best, abund-
ant in quantity, excellent in quality
and reasonable in price. Use them
freely every day. No pie is more ac-
ceptable than a well-made apple pie,
but the fritters and pudding for which
directions are given below are an
agreeable variation.
Apple Fritters-Beat one egg until
very light, add one-fourth cup of milk,
one tablespoon of melted butter, one
fourth teaspoon of salt, and flour
sufficient to make almost a drop bat
ter. Beat it thoroughly and let it
stand at least an hour to swell the
flour. Beat again just before using.
Core and pare three apples and cut
in half-inch rings. Sprinkle with
sugar and spice. Dip each slice in
the batter, taking up only as little
as possible, and cook in deep, hot
fat. Sprinkle with powdered sugar
and serve with roast duckling.
Apple Pudding-Pare, core and
chop fine enough tart apples to make
one pint. Mix with them one cup Of
stale (not dried) soft white bread
crumbs. Beat the whites of four eggs
until stiff, then beat the yolks until
quite thick, add to them one-fourth
cup of sugar, which has been creamed
with one tablespoon of butter, add
one-half teaspoon of salt, one-half tea
spoon of allspice. Stir this into the
crumbs, then add the whites, and
when we'll mixed pour it into small
cups, well creased, and let them
steam one hour. Serve hot with hard
sauce. -

HANGS PAPER.
NEW DEVICE JUST COMING INTO
USE-DoES THE WORK
WELL.

The latest thing in the way of auto
matte machinery is the paper hanger
1t is claimed for this machine that it
will perform the work In a much more
rapid and easy manner than the old
method of spreading the paper on
table, cutting it into strips of the pro-
per length. applying the paste and
finally placing it in position on the
wall
According to the inventor about all
the operator of this apparatus has to
do is to turn the crank and place the
machine in new position after each
piece of the paper is attached to the
wall. The paper is placed in the ma
chine in single roll, and is automat-
ically cut to the proper length, paste
applied and the paper put on the wall
while the operator is doing nothing
but revolving the wheels by means Of
the crank.
The invention consists of a carriage
arranged to travel on vertical track
and carrying roll of paper, a paste
holder, a rotary paste brush, pressure
brushes and a knife for severing the
paper at the proper moment The
roll of paper in unwinding is made to
come in conjunction with the paste
carrying brush, passing thence to the
wall. The turning of the crank causes
the supporting carriage to rise in its
toothed guides, carrying the pressure
brushes across the paper as fast as it
is put in position. When the top of
the room is reached the stoppage of
the carriage is utilized to throw the
long knife blade into a slot and sever
the paper. Tho carriage is then pulled
down by means of the chains and the
supporting frame moved along to the
next position on the floor More time
is occupied in pla cling the machine in
position than in applying each section
Of the paper, but even this is a short
operation, owing to the guides which
are Supplied for the purpose.
