conference with the leading bankers and
business men Of the city, together with
due recognition of the many kilograms,
he has received from banks and business
men in the state outside OF Portland
that the Governor took this involuntary
step. Each Of the four weeks that he
has been obliged. in the interests of the
business and industries Of the state, to
prolong the stagnating suspension in all
fields of endeavor, he has felt that he
could scarcely be expected to continue
to offer such protecting structures upon
the financial institutions, the courts and
the mercantile activity OF the state
without the clearest showing that the
situation demands it.
The Governor spent most OF yesterday
and practically all the forenoon today
in arriving at the decision he has made.
He was hopeful when he returned from
Salem yesterday morning that the end
of the holidays was at hand. He was

REVOLUTION IN BRITAIN.
Liberals Will Attempt to Reform the
House of Lords.

London, Feb. 9.-The attorney gen.
eral, Sir John L. Walton, who pre-
sumably spoke with the full knowl-
edge of the intentions of the govern
ment, made an important declaration
n speech at Leeds, foreshadowing
The governments programme for re-
form OF the house of lords. In the
course OF his remarks the attorney
general said that the grim and seri-
GUS work" upon which the Liberals
were entering would mean revolu-
tion and involve two or three dissolu-
tions." He added that the house OF
lords was entirely "out of harmony
with modern democratic institutions
and must go. The government would
endeavor to give effect to the will Of
the people by bills, which the peers
would probably throw out, leading to a
combination Of the crown and people
to defeat the aristocracy."
Attorney General Walton recognized
that the struggle would be prolonged
and exciting and would mean com.
plete rearrangement OF the constitu-
tional and political forces.

Washington, Feb. 81 Chairman
Shonts of the isthmian canal commits
sion has returned to Washington. He
unqualifiedly expressed himself In
favor of building the canal by con
tract. He said that the Breat advan.
tage accruing therefrom would be the
witnessing of immediate results.

the labor problem. They can get

necessarily would effect the compile

than If matters were allowed to go on
as they are
Mr.. Shonts said he was much sur.
prised to read the statement that
Chief Engineer Stevens had indicated
his intention to resign should the
work be done by contract. He said
that Mr.. Stevens always had favored
the contract plan and only recently
had written him commending the idea
in the strongest possible terms.
The building of the canal by con.
tract, said Mr.. Shonts, could not pos.

her return from Europe on the pre-
text that it was a matter Of life and
death and had to do with her fam
lily. He told her "the dreadful stories
