B0WE WINS SUIT.
A Recount of Votes Shows That He Beat Healey by H.

Jude Thayer held short session of tn superior court here to-day to : hear the dispute between William Bow and John Healey as to which of her belongs the office of minor rep
 esdtation on the board of relief. 8oA of them were candidates on the fenocratic ticket for the office of lsard of relief last fall and MT Hearey vas declared elected. Mir Bowe laimed he received a larger number if votes than Mir Healey did and that therefore he should have been given the office. Tn court to-day MT Bowe was repre- sented by Attorneys Lynch and Root, while MT Healey's interests were taken care of by Attorney Slavin. It Was agreed between counsel that in the first, second and fifth wards MT Rowe received 3,343 votes and Mir Healey 3,312. It was also claimed that he moderator allowed MT Bowe in he third ward 606 votes, making his Dtal 3949 and Mir Healey ITO, making is toEa1 4,022. It was upon this round that the moderator declared MT TeaIey elected.
 Bit 1t was in the third ward the con- snfon was situated, and Attorney
 dot, in stating the matter to the 3uTI, SaIQ that both SldeS aQmlIIeu fere was confusion in that ward; tn 1t 873 persons voted, there were 1869 nvelopes in the box, one of which was ejected for "other reasons" two bal ots were rejected because they were loubIe and five were rejected for other reasons"
 The claim of MT Bowe was that 100 votes were allowed MT Healey by mis- take, which would make his total that many less than MT Bowe's.
 John H. Flanagan. the democratic registrar of voters, and F. J. Phelan were appointed counters, and the bal lot box of the third ward was ordered opened.
 The recount gave MT Bowe COZ, one more than his counsel claimed, and MT Healey 627, or S3 less than the mod orator at the election allowed him. This made MT Bowe's total 3,95O and Mr Healey's 3,939. which gave Mr Rowe majority Of Il.
 Judge Thayer accordingly issued an order entitling MT Bowe to take office. Gle will be given the oath of office this evening when the board will hold a meeting.

THE RIVAL FLEETS.
A Glance at the Sea Power Of Russia
 and Japan. 4

1t is no exaggeration to say that eyerybody's attention is being concen-, trated just now on the fighting value of the Russian and Japanese fleets in the far east Ship for ship, there is perhaps not so much to choose between the two navies. Mere numbers, however, are not everything in maritime warfare discipline, training, men, guns, armor- plating, speed and coal endurance to- gether with a host of other factors bear ing on the ultimate issue of any struggle for sea supremacy have to be taken into consideration as we'll. In all of these the advantage is distinctly on the side of Japan. Thus, while the displace- ment of the seven battleships belonging to Russia and under the orders of Ad- miral Alexeieff at Port Arthur is 83,660 tons, that of the six Japanese battleships in the same waters is S4 ,950 tons. Then the gun protection of the former is less by at least one-third than that of the latter, while they also steam, knot slower per hour. Altogether, as far as battleships are concerned, Admiral Togo (who commands the mikado's feet has not much to fear at the hands of Ad- miral Alexeieff Representing the czar)-g With regard to armament, he can rely upon 24 12-inch guns; whereas his po- tential enemy has four guns fewer of the same caliber. His six-inch armament, however, Is inferior. In armored and protected cruisers, together with de- stroyers and torpedo boats, Japan has the advantage all the way round.
 The principal Russian vessels of each class in the far east are the Caesarvitch, Retyisan and Peresviet (battleshfps); the Gromoboi and Rossia (armored cruisers): and the Bogatyr. Askold and varyag (protected cruisers). The first named vessel was built at La Seyne, as was also one of her cruisers, while the Retvisan was launched at Philadelphia, The Caesaryitch, which has only recent ty arrived at Port Arthur, has normal

WAY PETITIONED FOR.
Music I'm Saloons and Women In Sa-
loon Boxes We're Discussed-Ordi-
nance Authorized Licensing Open
Air Restaurants-Eagles Given
Permission to String Advertising
Banners-Petition for Fire Bell
Tower.

A new telephone line is soon to be
installed north of Pendleton and ex-
tending into town. Permission was
asked last night of the city council
for a franchise granting the right to
string wires and poles in the streets.
The telephone system is known as the
Birch Creek Mutual Telephone Com
pany and its stockholders are farm
ers residing in the Birch creek neigh
borhood. The petition was referred
to the street committee for consider
alton.
Very little business was transact
ed at last nights council session.
The mayor and councilmen discussed
everything from music in saloons to
profanity in the streets. The chief
Of police stated that music was being
played in one of the Main street sa-
looms, but as there was no ordinance
against 1t he wanted instructions.
A councilman remarked that the
only way to stop music In saloons and
to keep women from saloon boxes
was to pass ordinances prohibiting
them. II was not aware that women
were now frequenting the saloons, -
remarked the mayor
"Then you haven't been around
much replied the councilman.
1t was decided to take action re-
garding the saloon box and the music
in saloons ordinances at the next
council session.
The city attorney was instructed ia
draw up bill for an ordinance H.
censing open air restaurants.
A petition was received from the
members Of Hose Company No. g.

at their station and a fire bell be
placed there. The petition was refer
red to the fire committee.

stangier was transferred to Paul

Nearly 1000 Plurality.

Complete returns from 80 of the 36
precincts of Umatilla county give
Roosevelt and Fairbanks 3112 votes
against 1853 for the democratic can
didates. 1t will be impossible to se-
cure the complete vote of every pre-
cinct until the vote Is canvassed.
The county court will appoint an
eiection board composed of two JUS
tees of the peace and the clerk to
canvass the vote. The work of GO
ing over the returns will be COM
menced tomorrow.
The question has been raised by
some of the saloon men that the vote
for prohibition in Freewater and Mil
ton will not prevent the sale of liquor
in. those precincts, owing to the fact
that the petition for the election in
that part OF the county, included a
large subdivision that failed to carry
for prohibition. However, the law
states that any precinct in a subdi-
vision securing majority vote shall
prohibit the sale OF intoxicants.

at Lewis and Clark Fair Site.
Portland, Nov. 10-Since the Lewis
and Clark exposition was projected
there has not been more activity up
on the extensive grounds than there
was yesterday, with more than 500
hammers, saws and shovels in action.
The progress made on the work
of construction during the past week
is remarkable. Four or five new
buildings have been started and the
finishing details have been applied to
the skeletons of buildings started
months ago with remarkable rapid
ity and fine effect.
The ceiling of the Oregon state
building is being whitewashed The
process is one of the most interesting
sights on the grounds. Men work 200
feet above the floor on rafters and
scaffolds. pouring on whitewash
pumped through lines of hose by an
engine on the ground floor. 1t would
be impossible to whitewash the build
ing by hand.
In this same building the skylights
and dome are being fitted with a
substance known as translucent fab
ric, combination of oil and warm
ishes which serves the purpose OF
glass Before the work has beer
finished there will be 15 boxes of this
material used, and each box contains
32 sheets. eich of which measures
eight feet square.
