Buchanan Insists He Shall Have
Postoffice
Globe Special Washington Service

1417 G. Street
WASHINGTON, D.. c., Jan. 19.-The
row over the appointment of a postmaster
at st. Cloud reached a warm stage to-
day, but neither the postmaster general
nor the president is losing sleep over the
matter If any man is. worried it is Rep
reSentatlve Buchanan. A telegram was
received at the White house today from
G. F.. Benson and others protesting against
the appointment of Martin, and this was
the first that had been heard of the mat
ter at the White house. Postmaster Cen
eral Wynne was not aware of any trouble
until this afternoon. Mr.. Buchanan, of
course, has known for some time that
trouble was brewing, but he said nothing.
To-day he made the following statement:
The younger element of the Repub-
ncan party in st. Cloud has for some
time been anxious to have something done
for Martin, and its representatives have
on, several occasions asked me to keep
him In mind. l realized that the party
was under obligations to- him for services
rendered. and so when it became apparent
that there would be a change in the post
maStefShlp made up my mind to appoint
him. The older element in the party at
ST. Cloud had a name it desired to submit
but l did not wait for this because 1 did
not want to open up a long and futile dis
cusslon, having already made up my mind
to appoint Martin.
L desire to say most emphatically that
tnefe mas been no trade of any sort with
Dunn or with any other person made
the recommendation purely on my own
motion, for the reasons just stated and
was not influenced by Dunn, by the SEN
ators or by anybody else. The senator's
did not interfere. 1t is well known that
they have never in our state undertaken
to control the postoftice appointments
these falling to the representatives
1 owe Martin nothing. He has not al
ways been on my side in the district. but
| recognize him as one of the prominent
men of the party and son that account I
thought he had this appointment coming
to him.
Senator Nelson says the sena tors will
not interfere in the matter. In all prob
ability Mr.. Martin will be appointed with
out much delay. Walter E. Clark.

MEANT NOT TO BRIBE
Sorenson and Hall Are Quizzed
on Land Frauds

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 19-Explain-
ing that he might want the members
as witnesses, United States District
Attorney Heney today had the federal
grand jury listen in the court room to
the testimony of John H. Hall, former
ly district attorney, in the case against
George Sorenson. The latter is charged
with offering John Hall SIS, 900. to quash
the indictments against Horace G. Nc
Klnley, S. A. d. Puter, Marie L. Ware,
Mrs. Emma Watson and one other per-
son whose name is unknown. The first
witness for the government was j. A.
Sladen, clerk in the United States cir
cunt court for Oregon. Mr.. Heney adj
dressed the court and said:
Il will ask the grand jury to come in
That 1t may listen to the testimony
about to be offered. I may desire to
use the members as witnesses before
the government rests
John Hall was then called as a wit
ness. After relating incidents of a
visit of SorensOn to his Office during
which the subject of land frauds was
mentioned, the witness said:
Sorenson said that these fellows
would give $4,000 to have the eases
against them dismissed, or that they
could raise $4,000 for the dismissal of
the cases, or something to that effect
l replied that could not entertain any
such proposition
George Sorenson, on the stand in his
own behalf, said:
MY general instructions, received
from Mr.. Hall, were to keep in touch
with the people and report anything
SAID When l heard about the $4,000
scheme told Hall about it. I said to
MIN that l thought he had them peo-
pie agoin' some ana that they thought
they could raise. $4,000 to have the
cases dismissed
He said he thought Mckinley had
told him about the $4,000. He had no
intention of offering a bribe to Mr..
Han, ne declared, and he did not I'M
aerstand that in reporting the matter
he was offering a bride.

CALLS TRANSPORT
SERVICE ROTTEN
Humphrey of Washington State
Assails 1t, but to No
Avail

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 19.-The
house today completed consideration of
the army appropriation bill and will
vote on the measure tomorrow. Resi-
dent Commissioner Degatu, of Porto
Rico, made his first speech in the
house. He praised the United States
for its attitude towards his island
home. He said he saw no need for the
maintenance of the provisional regi-
ment of troops in the island.
A vigorous attack on the army
transport service was made by Mr..
Humphrey (Wash.). His first move
was to eliminate from the bill, on a
point of order. which was sustained,
the provision that mo steamship in the
transport service shall be disposed of
without the consent of congress" Mr..
Hull secured the adoption of an amend
ment in these words:
Provided that ne part of the $12,-
100000 hereby appropriated shall be
paid to any steamship company for the
transportation of supplies or enlisted
men or officers of the states from the
United States to the Philippine islands,
or from the Philippine islands to the
United States
Mr.. Humphrey offered an amend
penses of sailing government trans
ports. He said the transport service
was costing s1,500,000 year more to
maintain than would be the case if the
service should be performed by private
shipping. When Mr.. Root was secre-
tary of war he had recommended it's
adjustment, as had Gen. Davis when
he was governor of the Philippines, and
Mr.. Humphrey said Secretary Taft was
of the same mind. The transport
service so far had cost between $685.
100000 and $40,000,000.
Everything is rotten in this trans
port service holly declared Mr..
Humphrey, from the hulls of the old
foreign built vessels to the wonderful
system of bookkeeping adopted by the
quartermaster's department. 1t is a
national disgrace and hope this house
will stop it,
Mr.. Hull and others defended the
service. The amendment of Mr..
Humphrey was defeated on a viva
voce vote
Consideration of the statehood bill
was continued in the senate, and Mr..
Stone spoke two hours in opposition
to it. The bill for the remuneration Of
the American fur sealers who suffered
losses because of their suppression also
was debated.

Samarcand rugs are Chinese In charac-

They make suitable rugs for dens.

In washing rugs a very simple way lie TO

These points being kept we'll in mind,
there Ia a rich store TO choose from-rugs
from Persia, Turkey, Asia Minor, Turkestan,
the southern part Of Russia, AfghanistAn,
Beluchistan and a few from India.
The most expensive and beautiful rugs
are Persian, and they come 10 this country
in great quantities. Kirmans, Sehnas,
Kurdistans, khorassGns, Serabends and
Feraghrns are the best kinds: Then there
are the Anatolian rugs from Turkey; quite
a variety come under this head from Asia
Minor.
The Bokhara rugs come from Turkestan
and some from Afghanistqn. Several kinds
OF rugs, namely Kabistans, Shtruans,
Chichis, Darbends Karabaghs, KAYAKS,
GenRias Soum1cs or Cashmeres come from
Cauoasia In Russia. From India we get
the large rugs. but they arc mostly MOD
ern, and many machine made rugs, copies
from Persinns, arc also sent from India.
The most desirable and original rugs
are the persians. They are made very
carefully by hand on looms Of primitive
construction, the only tools used being
pair OF shears, a comb and nallet. No
changes have been made in the mode Of
viewing or in the pattern used. The
Orientals have not the same craze Tor nov
city that possesses the Western people.
and much OF their success in rug mH king
is due 20 this fact. There is much individu-
atty in their rugs, each designer making
his own pattern.
A Persian never stands upon a rug with
his shoes on, but always uncoyers his feet;
this il the reason 20 many beautiful rugs
have been preserved. Tho dyes used In
these old rugs were all vegeta BILE, made
bV a process Of fermentati ion; the secrets
OF thets dyes are iealously guarded. OF
