"cOxEYITES" IN LONDON
Bootmakers' Army Creates Scene in
House of Commons.

LONDON, May lin emulation of
General Coxey" and in an effort to
bring their grievances directly before
the officers Of the government us men,
representing the army of bootmakers
who have been on strike for several
weeks, in Nottingham, arrived at
Marble Arch yesterday, after a march
of 1OS miles.
From Marble Arch deputation of
ten men was sent forward to the house
of commons, and an attempt made to
interview Arnold Foster, secretary of
war, but the secretary was absent.
The deputation conferred with SYM
pathizing members of parliament, who
agreed to try to move adjournment of
the house in order to discuss the boot
makers grievances. Meanwhile Crib
BILE, the strike leader, and his compan-
ions, were allowed in the strangers
gallery.
After listening impatiently to a long
debate on womans suffrage, Gribble
rose and shouted excitedly, calling at
tention to the object of the strikers
visit
1t is heinous offense against the
rules to speak in the strangers gallery.
Gribble was Immediately led out by
attendants. He lost his temper when
brought into the central lobby, made a
rush and attempted to force his way
into the house. Two door keepers
stopped him. He struggled, and po-
licemen hurried to the scene 1t took
half dozen men to control and eject
him. There was great excitement.
The government will send an emf
nent lawyer to investigate the boot
makers grievances.
The marchers are being patronizei
and feted by labor members of parlia-
ment and socialists, and are receiving
money from other sympathizers. They
are having a good time in London.

murderer was apprehended in North
Carolina and taken to the scene of the
murder, where he wa supposed IN
nave been hanged His body. imme-
dlately after the hanging, was turned
over to his brothers, who were rich
ana expressed desire to bury the
body near their boyhood home in the
state of North Carolina.
Recently, Elys Lawton, who had
been employed in a Colorado mine by
Baxter Pate, went east and heard an
account of the murder of Littrell bv
Baxter Pate. The name electrified
him. for he had always believed the
murderer to be Mcdaniel Rhea. In
stantly he recalled a confidential talk
with his employer, who, he says, con-
fessed to having killed one of his clos
est friends over game of cards in his
youth. He also recalled the clever
ruse by which, Pate said, he had es-
capped punishment
A small steel frame was cIandestine-
ly carried to Pate by his brothers q
few days before the time set for the
hanging, and with this worn under his
clothing he was saved from strangu-
lation.

PROBABLY INCREASE TAXES
Would Impose Additional
Internal Revenue Tax

WASHINGTON, May 17-When the
president reached Washington after
his outing ne discovered that the rev.
enue question had oversnadowed the
railroad rate question among govern
ment officials and those members of
the two houses of congress who are in
touch with Washington, and that it
promised to grow in interest as the
federal deficit increased.
with the standpatters have been chiefly
to determine whether there should be
revision to relieve some of the prevail
ing nigh prices. Now it will be wheth-
err revision, or an increase of internal
revenue, is not necessary, to keep the
federal balance on the right side of
the ledger.
Internal Revenue Situation
The standpatters are still firm in
their belief that the Dingley sched-
ules should not be touched, and they
are endeavoring to focus attention On
the internal revenue situation.
Unwelcome as the suggestion may
be, there is ground for the belief that
congress will ultimately decide that
the federal finances must be strength
ened by reimposing a part of the in
ternal revenue taxes which came with
the Spanish war, and which were, it
is held, rather unthinkingly removed
after the war had closed.
About $25,OOO,OOO year was collect
ed through the war tax on beer, $780,
100000 on tobacco, $3,5O0,000 on bank
ers, $4O,OOO,OOO on documents and S.
100000 on proprietary articles.
1t is argued that there is room here
for a reimposition of taxes, not as
but sufficiently high for all govern
ment needs, and that the burden need
not fall upon the consumer 1t did
not fall upon him on the tax on beer,
tobacco and proprietary remedies, al
though he felt it in the tax on bank
checks and legal documents. These
last, it is asserted might be omitted
from the new list and the tax confin-
ed to those articles whose retail price
would not be affected as a result of it.
Howl Is Expected
A howl will go up from interests to
be taxed, but it is declared that it will
be better for congress to meet this op-
position and overcome it, than to per-
NIT treasury conditions to grow worse
/ At the same time there is a live
| demand for tariff revision, but for the
presnet it is doubtful if revision can
| be accomplished. Tariff revision seems
vastly more difficult than the railroad
question. Meanwhile, something must
! be done to protect the treasury, ans
internal revenue taxes are suggested
| by the standpatters as a temporary
makesnift until tariff revision can be
reached.
| This is, perhaps, the most important
question the president will have to
consider during the summer and fall.

OPENING OF PORTAGE RAILWAY
A RESULT OF MANY YEARS
OF HANRD EFFORT
First Move Made at The Dalles in 1885
When columbia Waterway Con-
vention" Was Organized

The opening of the portage railway
around The Dalles of the Columbia,
termination of a fight waged for many
years by the people of the interior of
Oregon and Washington for the open
ing of the great river to the traffic Of
the world, says a dispatch to the Sc
attic Times.
On December 2, 1885, at The Dalles,
Ore, was organized the columbia
Waterway Convention which for six
years labored to secure congressional
aid for the herculean task of opening
the two rivers to navigation. The
convention was called to meet at The
Dalles by the following commercial
bodies, in an open call issued Novem-
Der 16, 1885: The Dalles Board of
Trade, Astoria Chamber of Commerce,
Vancouver Board of Trade, City Coun-
Gil of Goldendale, Walla Walla Board
Council of Waitsburg. These bodies
sent representatives to The Dalles,
where Hon. E. L. Smith, now of Hood
River, Ore, then of The Dalles, called
the body to order December 2. J. @. A.
Bowlby, of Astoria, was elected presi-
dent, and w. Byron Daniels, of Van
couver, secretary. A memorial was
sent to congress asking aid for the
river work, and setting forth some of
the many claims of the western coun-
try to consideration at the hands of
the national rivers and harbors COM
mittee.

Second Session,

Second Session.
The second session of the convention
was held at Vancouver October A.,
1886, and E. l.. Smith, of The Dalles,
was chosen president, and w. H. Brew
ster, of Vancouver, secretary. Strong
resolutions were adopted urging fed
eral action, and a scheme for the con-
struction of a boat railway around
the distractions was developed. At
that time a tedious delay was being
tolerated in the work of constructing
appointed a committee to ascertain the
cause and see if the work could not be
rushed to completion. The convention
showed that the rate charged for car
rying cattle from The Dalles to Port
land, 81 miles, was 81 and the charge
on wheat was II cents per bushel.
The third session of the convention
was held at Astoria, and the officers
were reelected. At the time it was
shown that 46 men were employed in
constructing the Cascade locks and the
work was going ahead very slowly.
The fourth session was held at Port
land, and here, perhaps, the first steps
were taken which ultimately led to
the completion of the present portage
road. A memorial was sent to the Or
egon legislature asking the state to ap-
propriate money for the construction
of a portage road to be operated by
the people at cost of service. The me-
mortal recited that the body was about
discouraged with the snail-like prog
ress being made by congress, both at
the Cascade locks and in considering
further improvement of the river.
Fifth Session.
The fifth session was held at Port
land October 10, 1889. ]. F. Halleran,
of Astoria, was chosen president, and
]. P. Shaw, of Oregon City, secretary
Among those marked present at the
L
oyer of Oregon, Governor Shoup of
Idaho, and Governor Miles c. Moore of
Washington. 1t was reported that the
legislature of Oregon had refused to
pass a bill appropriating 100000 to
build the portage railway. In addition
to memoralizing congress, the WASH
ington legislature was asked to APP
propriate money to assist in the work.
Being discouraged at the apparent
lack Of interest in the work and the
poor chances of securing aid from
either the federal government or
Washington or Oregon, the promoters
Of the Waterway association gave up
the fight with the sixth and last meet
inf, held at Oregon City, October 22,
1890. Hollon Parker of Walla Walla,
was chosen president, and j. P. Shaw
of Oregon City was reelected secre-
tary. E. M. Rands, then of Oregon
City, now of Clark county, Wash, and
the leader of the senate in the last
session, was an active member of the
last waterway convention, and intro
duced the last resolutions passed by
the body.
The body was never called together
again, and but few of the present cit
liens of the states of Washington and
Oregon remember anything of the
early efforts put forth to bring about
the opening Of the Columbia river,
now made fact.
