WARM FIGHT FOR OREGON
Most Exciting state Election I'm Years
II Promised az Polls
Tomorrow.

PORTLAND, Ore, May S1.-The biennial
election in Oregon. which will occur Mon
day, promises to be the most exciting in
the history OF the state. The democrats
have made their campaign almost entirely
on state issues. while the republicans have
laid great stress on national expansion
and the retention OF the island possessions.
The ;aetional hght among the republicans
of Multonomah county. a republican strong
hold, will undoubtedly greatly reduce the
republican majority in the state, II. indeed.
1t does not wipe II out entirely as far as
the head of the ticket is concerned.
The democrats have little hope OF elect
ing their ticket. with the exception OF
George e. Chamberlain for governor. The
republicans, however, say that reports OF
disaffection in the. party are exaggerated
and that there is no doubt OF the election
Of w. J. Furnish for governor.

agement Of the Hartman lines today an
nounced the greatest colonization scheme

Bureaus will be established In every east
ern, southern and middle western state
to assist farmers to that section. The
government will be asked to assist in irri-
eating the arid lands.
Incidentally, the bureau will c~olonize

LONDON, May S1.-Those in touch with
royal circles are busy gossiping about the
reported tiff between Lord Salisbury and
King Edward. which Is said to have arisen
on account OF the kings demand that the
premier recommend Sir Ernest Cassel for
a peerage. Last year the same request
met with a refusal. This year 1t was
again urged by the king on the ground Of
Sir Ernest's munifcent gift Of e 200, 900 to-
ward the cure OF consumption.
The premier absolutely refused to coun-
tenance the suggestion, and at the end Of q
stormy interview which occurred the day
the state Dime wac held at Buckingham
palace Lord Salisbury remarked:
well, sir. l suppose l had better leave
my place at tonight's banquet vacant?" to
which the king is said to have replied
yes. l think you had and staiked out OF
the room. Since then. according to court
gossip, King Edward and his aged prime
minister have scarcely been on speaking
terms. e" go
Another incident which is causing con-
siderable commotion in royal circles is the
disagreement between King Edward and
the duchess OF Buccleuch, afmember Of the
old-style, exclusive arlstocracy, who has
not countenanced the so-callcd smart
set" The king was to dine with the
duke, and duchess Of Buccleuch and In
timated his desire that a lady Of his sur
rounding be invited. This is usually tan
tamount to a command. but the duchess
OF Buccleuch,r nothing dauntsd, refused
point blank to ask the kings friend tC
make one Of the dinner party.
Hia majesty was furious and threatens
to cancel his promise TO dine with the
Bueeleuchs, whereat the duchess OF Buc,
cleueh retorted that she was quite willing
to send her resignation as mistress OF tn,
robes to Queen Alexandra. Later in the
day the king thought better OF IL, informed

every reason to believe that the pump run
ners will respond with practical unanimity
next Monday to President Mitchell's order
to strike, unless granted an eight-hour
work day and other conditions prescribed
by the Shamokin convention.
That the operators do not propose to
yield is evidenced by the big fences and
barbed wire which they have placed around
the collieries. Hundreds OF extra coal and
iron policemen have been employed, armed
principally with revolvers.

road company today brought a trainload Of
