At least a dozen OF the passengers

GERMAN POLICY
DENIES 1T is
AGGRESSIVE IMPERIALISM.
Declares the Emperor Is Not Warlike
so Far as Foreign Poicy Is Con-
ccrncd, and Wants Only Peace
Fiscal Estimates Made Up Since
Election Show No Marked Increase
Over Antc-Bellum Figures.

Berlin, Feb. 1S.-(Copyrighted.)- -
Chancellor Won Buelow outlining the
policy of the government following
the elections. in his first interview,
today made this statement:
at is entirely incorrect to suppose
the result of the elections will be to
produce a tendency toward an aggres-
sivc foreign policy.
Fiscal estimates made for sub
mission next week are practically the
same as before. The emperor is not
for war, as is the tendency of foreign
nations to presume. He desires to
preserve peace. The question before
the electorate was to retain or aban-
don German Southwest Africa. The
retention of that which the country
already holds is not an aggressive i'm
perialism."

LEE TEU7SCH FOR NORMAL SCHOOL
COMMISSIONER

At a meeting of the Commercial
association and business men OF Pen
dleton this forenoon, Lee Teutsch,
chairman of the public school board
of this city, was recommended for
on the commission which
will be chosen to select the two nor
NAL schools which are to survive, ac-
cording to the provisions of the bill
which passed the Oregon legislature
on Friday evening.
The bill as passed provides that the
state educational board consisting of
the governor, superintendent OF pub
lie instruction and the secretary of
state. in additional to other members
to be appointed by the governor, shall
select two normal schools which shall
be made permanent, and carries an
appropriation of $4,000 for the
maintenance Of the schools so selected

Salem, Ore, Feb. 1S.-(Special.)- y
The governor passed the normal
school problem back to the legisla-
ture this afternoon by vetoing Smiths
bill providing for two schools, on the
ground that the legislature has no
power to delegate legislative authori-
ty to the board in the matter of Sc
lection of locations. This compels
the legislature 10 designate locations.
The house put ON its working
clothes and got down to business this
morning and succeeded in disposing
of IS of the last SO bills up for a
third reading.
Among the most important meas
ures receiving favorable considera-
tion and passed, were the special ap-

for the ensuing two years.
1t is supposed that one member Of
the commission will be appointed
from eastern and one from western
Oregon and strong efforts will be
made to secure the appointment OF
Mr.. Teutsch, who fully represents
the interests of eastern oregon. Be-
sides being an active and aggressive
business man, he is president Of Pen
dleton public school board and has
the Endorsement of every interest in
this county.
1t is probable that no action will be
taken in the matter of the location of
the two normal schools until after the
end of the present school year, as all
are provided for during the present
year, and 1t is not desired to inter-
fere in any way with the work of any
of the schools by making an early To-
cation.
