VOTE ON BILL TOMORROW.
Democrats Hold Conference and De-
eide Not to Filibuster.

WASHINGTON, May 28.-An an
ticipated strenuous resistance TO
the adoption of the conference report
on the Aldrich-Vreeland currency
bill in the Senate according to infer
ence to be drawn from the debate
today will probably not materialize.
Aldrich kept the report before the
Senate until nearly 4 o'clock when
he assented to its being laid aside
until tomorrow. Every Senator real
lied meaning of this move and that
an understanding will be reached to
vote on the bill tomorrow.
Indications are that Congress will
adjourn tomorrow or Saturday. Dur
ing the morning Democrats held 2
conference at which it was decided
not to filibuster.
While conference was not binding,
the sentiment favored minority stand
ing together in solid vote against the
bill. On the other hand it is likely
that more than two Republicans will
join the opposition.
The senator desiring to speak to-
day. The latter part Of session was
devoted to the consideration Of other
bills. Aldrich expressed his belief
that currency bill would be disposed
of tomorrow

Cholera is also rife in the prov

cases have been reported since Janu'
airy, in Rigal and Zambaleos, There
is no fear of a general epidemic.

as the result OF blow administered
earlier in the day either by woman

caught near the scene OF the combat,
N. II. Nozuy is the victim OF the most
recent murder which puzzles the po-
lice. Mary Keiser, the woman in the
case, in the tolls at the City Jail, re-
covering from an all nights debauch,
makes conflicting statements concern
ing Nozuys fatal injury, and Fred
Williams, also held, says he simply
showed Nozuy away from the woman

ence could not have been the cause OF
death. A room in the McAllister house
at Third and Flanders streets was the
scene OF the incident, and diligent
investigation by detectives throws no
new light on the tragedy.
Vigorous calls for help by Mary
Keiser at PAS o'cloci: this morning
from a window OF the McAllister
house summoned assistance from the
Grand Central hotel, directly across
the street, and brought Patrolmen
Tenant and Hunter to the lodging
house
"There's the man; that's the fellow
YOU want" yelled the night clerk OF
the McAllister house, as he pointed
to Fred Williams, who appeared to be
skulking down Third street. A re-
volver pointed by Patrolman Tenant
brought Williams to stop and ap-
parently astonished that there had
been any trouble, led the policemen
to room in the McAllister house
he had just left.
Stretched on the floor and breath

SALEM. May 28.-In the presence |
OF less than a dozen spectators, not
including the members Of the court
within the bar, and following the
overruling OF defendants motions for |
a new trial and arrest of judgment, |
Judge George Fl. Burnett, OF the
State Circuit Court for Marion coun-
ty, sentenced J. Thormorn Ross, con-
victed OF the conversion OF over
$2S8,0O0 OF the state school funds in
the capacity of president OF the de-
funct Title Guarantee Company Bank,
to serve FIVE years in the state penn
tentiary, and imposed fine Of double
the amount involved, or $576,S53, the
latter to be served out in the Multno-
nah county Jail at the rate OF 81 a
day.
This is unquestionably the heavi-
est fine that was ever imposed by an
Oregon court and means, if it were
possible for the sentence to be tul-
filled, that Ross would be required to
serve 288,426 days, or Approximately
100 years in Jail, beside the FIVE years
penal servitude. Upon fling formal
notice OF appeal to the Supreme
Court, Ross bonds were fixed at
$1,000. in addition to the $1,000 under
which he is now held, and these we're
furnished by his brother, John T..
Ross, and by A. A. Lindsley OF Port
land,
The court passed sentence at 1870
| this morning, after Ross counsel,
Wallace McCamant, had exhausted
every legal resource at his command
in the effort to save his client from
the embarrassment OF a criminal
sentence, and after the court had
passed upon the two motions inter
posed by defendant, the argument OF
which had occupied nearly an entire
day. Application was made for GER
tihcate of probable cause on appeal,
which the court did not feel inclined
to deny and Ross was promptly ad-
mitted to bail.
When sentence was passed Ross
maintained his customary stolid and
Indifferent attitude, and did not dis
play the least sign of emotion or con,
Germ. His brother, however, was pres
ent in court and has been with him
continually during the last hours Of
the trial, seemed greatly moved, and
when the court announced sentence
arose from his seat and left the court.

i AS a result of this trial and SEN
tence, District Attorney Manning
stated that the court, in passing upor
the motions for new trial and arrest
of judgment, has removed all sem
blance Of doubt as to the guilt and
conviction of the other defendants in

and that their prompt conviction
would naturally follow In making

H. TAFT. The assurance Of such ac-

H. TAFT. The assurance of such &C.
ton goes far to relieve the dis
appointment caused by the inactior
of congress. That the party will
take such a position is specially pleas
ing to all true friends Of the prin.
ciples of protection to American in
dustries and American labor, for the
best friends of protection are those
republicans who demand revision.
The desire Of the great majority OF
republicans is that the tariff bai
trimmed of those e~xcrecences that
support m%onopolies, Cypress the peo-
pie and threaten the very life of
TIE protective principle.
On the other hand there are two
classes of enemies OF protection. The
st%andpatters in both parties are re-
slstirg any interference with the
special privileges of robbing the con-
sumer, given by tariff schedules
that are archaic and unjust. The
free trade section of the democratic
party has always been hostile to pro-
lection.
Where should the real republi-
can. who loves his country and wish
es continued success for his party,
take his stand, except in favor of ra-
'tional revision Of the tariff? Such
a position is not only expedient, but
it is right. 1t promises not only sue
cess in the next election, but justice
to all. The attitude of the stand
patters, on the contrary, endangers
not only party success but the whole
protective feature of the tariff. If
their behavior makes the people be-
lieve that a republican victory means
no adequate or sincere revision of
the tariff, they prepare the way for
the triumph of free trade democ-
racy. not only defeating their own
party. but booming protection to
sacrifice.
No further demonstration is need
ed 10 show that the standpatters
are the heretics in the republican
communion, and that the orthodox
republicans are those who want the
tariff revised, so that protection will
no longer be used by any as the
'ioak of thieves, but continue to be
the mantle of true men and nothing
more. Standpatism is a false schism
that must be cast out.
After the next election, the tariff
is going to be revised. The only
question in the approaching cam
paign will be whether the work shall
be done nationally, but thoroughly,
by republicans, or done some other
way by free trade democrats.

By wise legislation. In other states

and stimulated over-competition
which has proved disastrous to the
morals of the business.
The Texas brewers two years age

the hands of the police and prose-
cutors, and have rid the state of

to do the same thing in cooperation
with the Committee ,of Fourteen

companies which bond the licenses.
AS a result of this arrangement it is
expected that $50 disorderly places

pected that similar resolutions will

liquor dealers, insisting upon their
rigid compliance with the law in

brewers passed resolutions to the
same effect a few months ago, and
in Ohio brewers have taken similar
action.
The Minnesota brewers are also in

ing will take place in the retail

Boiler Tubes Again.

Defective boiler tubes have been
heard of before in naval circles. If
the story we're not so tragic it might
be taken as irony. Officials in gold
braid and faultless uniforms on a
tour of inspection are brushed aside
by maddened firemen Fastening to
get relief from the suffering due to
the scalding steam.
The Tennessee was one Of the YES
sells named In the charges against
a certain firm for furnishing defec-
tive boiler tubes to the United States
There were investigating committees
and inspecting bodies. There was a
trial. The jury disagreed. The
navy department promised further
inquiry, but nothing has been done.
The drill on board of the cruiser is
reported to have been perfect. When
the alarm came twenty lines of hose
were quickly in readiness in case o.
fire. The wounded men showed he
roic qualities. Everybody behaved

Only trouble was IN the boiler tube.
But four men were killed and ten
others injured, some of them fatally,
because that let go.
An investigation is promised. \.
ought to include an investigation of
the previous investigation. The ex-
animation of the defective parts may
show that the accident was one
which could not have been anticipa-
ted or avoided. If such is the hon
est finding there will be no bitter
ness attendant upon the sorrow be-
cause of the fatal accident.
But II a searching inquiry reveals
that unsatisfactory boiler tubes were
foisted upon the government by
fraud and that these tubes we're kept
in use despite the protests and crit
icisms made regarding them it will
not be pleasant for the former inves-
tigating committee.-Chicago Tri-

New Mexico for Bryan.

Santa Fe, N. M, June 9.-It ap-
pears likely that the democratic ter
ritorial convention, when it meets in
Roswell tomorrow to elect six dele
Gates to the Denver convention, will
instruct for Bryan. Among some Of
the delegates. however, there is a
sentiment against a pledged delega-
ton, and a fight against instructions
may be made on the floor of the con-
vention. General sentiment in the
territory favors the Nebraskan, and
no other candidate has been promi-
nently mentioned.
