Night by the Members Of

Members Of the Irving Club last
night rendered a reception to United
States Senator Fulton. The clubroom
was crowded and the reception was
most pleasant function in every re-
spect.
Seuator Fulton was introduced by
State Senator Tuttle, president Of the
club. DR.. Tuttle made a very inter-
esting preliminary statement in intro
ducing his distinguished fellow-towns-
man, who responded in a happy vein.
During the course Of the evening the
members of the club rendered an i'm
promptu musical program, not the
least interesting of the numbers being

Senator Fulton said during the
course Of his address that the oregon
congressional delegation had worked
in perfect harmony during the entire
session Of congress; that there had
never been the slightest friction be-
tween the members. Whenever any
proposal looking to the advancement
of the interests Of Oregon, the coast
or the nation was decided upon, the
delegation combined its efforts and all
of the members strived for the success
of the measure.
"ou failure to secure appropriations
which we had set our hearts upon was
due to the conservative policy of the
late congress-" the senator said. 'It
was agreed that the expenditures

our government did not know revo-
luton was brewing in Panama; to the
contrary. we undoubtedly knew the
people OF that portion OF Central
America intended breaking away from
Colombia. But our course was net at
all questionable, When the Colombian
federation was formed, with Panama
as one Of the states there was an
agreement that any of the states might
secede IL the terms of the federation
were not lived up to, Colombia repeat
edly violated those terms, and Pam
anna was at liberty to revolt firmly
believe the revolution would have been
successful even II our government had
not taken the pro-Panama view Of
the situation. The information status
of the situation thoroughly justified
our course, for had we failed to take
advantage of the revolution OF the
Panamaians the triple alliance Of Euro
pean nations would have threatened
our national safety"
Mr.. Cook does not agree with Mr..
Manning in many essential points. He
says the Panama revolution could
never have been successful but for the
held out by our govern
ment. He believes with Mr.. Manning, |
that the investment Of our government
was a good one. but does not find the
ready justification of our course which |
MFR. Manning refers TO. Both gentle-
men state that Colombian currency Is
"a deprecated in value that $4,000 to

story is again given by Mr.. Lindsay.

Company, which concern owned the SO

with the outlook for removed OF the
obstruction at the mouth OF the river,
and quite well satisfied that at the
next session ample funds for the Wig
orous prosecution OF this work would |
be forthcoming,
The senator also spoke of the work
of the bar dredge Chinook. He thought
her operation was calculated TO assist
the project to material extent and
hoped she would find chance this
summer to show what she was capable
of accomplishing. Captain Wood. one
OF the bar pilots, explained that the
dredge was now working in the new
channel which had opened at the en-
trance of the river and that, while
Some difficulty was found In getting

Beach and Deputy r. A. Moshberger
yesterday afternoon arrested Patrick
Renahan and William Powell In n
shanty west of Aurora and brought
them to woodburn. wnere they were
arraigned before Justice Overton to
answer the charge Of blowing open the
Woodburn postoiiice safe early In the
morning Of April q. Powell Ia an old
man and Is not considered nm accom-
pllce, but is held as a witness. The
preliminary hearing will be held to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock.
The attention Of Constable Beach was
drawn TO Renahan by parties who had
heard remarks dropped pointing to him
being one of the burglars. His partner
is supposed to be hidden In a woods
near the scene OF arrest and In a
wounded condition. On the night that
the Woodburn postoffice was entered
the two burglars were fired upon by
Captain Henderson and ]. H. ZImmerle
as they were running away. It was
suspected also that a plot had been
formed by Renahan and Powell to
blow open the Mount Angel postoffice
safe last night.
When arrested Powell was In bed in
partly intoxicated condition. II is
said his wife will prove a valuable wit
ness for the state. Renahan is reported
to have said he at one time belonged to
the James gang. He claims to have
been in ten late war and served In

he could prove an alibi. The prison.
