the bill under consideration. The
committee was composed Of two Clat-
sop men, two Multnomah men and one
Columbia representative. A delegation
Of 80 or 40 Portland men were prea-
cnt.
The Astoria delegation was given a
chance to present their side Of the
subject ana Judge Trcnchard, c, S.
Gundcrson, J. T.. Campbell and Mayor
Wise attempted to do 80. But the
Portland men entered the lists, using
up the limited time and heating the
discussion almost to the profanity
point. Charges were made that the
Portland men had adopted flibustering
tactics, and 1t was at this stage Of the
proceedings that the statement was
made by Mayor Wise that "if God had
intended Portland to be a seaport he
would never have placed her one hun
dred miles from the sea-" a remark
at which the Portland papers are
rather enraged.
The Astoria delegation put up a
good fight but the decision Of the ma

Arrangements have been made for

the trial was TO continue or was to
end in a mistrial was thus practically
iispelled.
Thaw had long conference yes
terday with A. Russell Peabody, one
OF his counsel, regarding the reports
that District Attorney Jerome was
paving the way to apply for commits
ion in lunacy. Mr Peabody said Thaw
expressed a wish that his counsel
should make every possible effort TO
prevent the appointment of a commits

be done.
The names of the two witnesses who
are likely to be called to testify, should

Tariff Revision Uncertain.

Senator Lodge is much exercised
over tariff reform, and that 1t may be
attempted when congress meets. He
warns Massachusetts Republicans that
1t would bring on period of uncer.
tainty and suspense In the Industrial
world" Let us also" says this ora.
Gle. waste no time in talking about
reciprocity with Canada" He tempers
this opposition to present tariff re.
vision by declaring: We shall, hope
and believe. declare for revision, which
for one have been urging for the last
three years, at our next national con.
venton, and we shall then, trust,
carry that into effect along protective
lines. Immediately after March 4.
1909" Senator Lodges efforts for
tariff revision reform during the last
three years" have been so feeble that
but little dependence can be placed in
his promised striving for revision
after election" He was one Of the
senate Conspirators who succeeded In
squelching the reciprocity treaties
with several foreign nations that Nc
Kinley negotiated and the Republican
senators refused to ratify. That record
hardly insures revision after cleo
ton" Senator Lodge also let's the cat
out OF the bag when he says that Re.
publican revision will be along pro

THE FACULTIES OF JUSTICE.
Blind. Perhaps, But No Reasonable
Proof OF Deafness Also.

Judge Harlan, who lives up on the
hill was passenger on Fourteenth
street car the other day and was seat
ed next to a couple Of clerks who were
deeply interested In some discussion,
which caused one of them to raise his
voice to quite a high pitch, says the
Washington Star. This appeared to
make the other man rather cautious,
rs he glanced warily around to see
II any one was listening to the talk
OF his friend. At this moment he dis
covered the presence OF the dignifed
Justice and turning hastily to his loud
talking comrade, he said: For
heavens sake. lower your voice; you
may have heard that justice is blind
but that doesn't necessarily mean
that it's deaf also" Whether Judge
Harlan heard the remark 1t Is i'm
possible to state, yet, all the same, a
calm smile fitted over his face at
the conclusion OF the young fellows
admonitlon to his friend.

Mark Twain, as is his custom, hides

head hunters, those persons seeking
autographs, photographs, or inter-

Park as his retreat. renting an old
colonial house until the latter part OF
September. when he returned to his
New York home. There, during the
heated days, Mr.. Clemens wandered
about the country byways or spent
the time in various shady hooks in
his grounds.

OF various widthG. Hence beading,
