VOTES
AGAINST TAFT TRIP

Washington.-Sena Chamberlain
o. oregon was the only western sena-
tor TO have voted against that clause
in the deficiency appropriation bill
carrying $4,000 to defray the travel
ing expenses OF the president. He was
the only senator whose state President
Taft expects to visit this fall who op,
posed the appropriation. All others
from the favored states who were
present voted for the appropriation,
Notwithstanding number Of them in
tho last congress voted against the
payment by congress of the presidents
travelling expenses.
1t was public sentiment that swung
these latter senators into line The
president let it be known that he
would make a trip through the west if
congress would provide the money.
Naturally the people of the west want
ed to see the president. They could
not see him If the appropriation was
refused. So pressure was brought to
bear. with the result that the $25.-
coo item was retained in the bill by
the votes of men who do not at heart
believe congress should incur this ex-
penditure.
The people of Oregon clamored long
and loud for a visit from the presl-
dent, and several days were appor-
toned by the president for visiting the
leading cities of that state. But pub
H. sentiment in Oregon was not strong
enough to sway Senator Chamberlain
on this issue. He joined the hopeless
minority that voted against the item.
In doing so. he split with his collie
ague, Senator Bourne, the most en-
thusiastic advocate of the appropri-
alton in the senate. and the man
scheduled to be the presidents hos,
while he is in Portland.
1t was one of the few times when
the views of Senator Chamberlain,
democrat. differed from the views of
Senator Bourne, republican.

GRAIN FIELDS NEAR
AL|CEL ARE BURNING

La Grande, Aug. 11.-Three thous-
and bushels Of wheat, headed. stacked
and ready for the thresher, were yes
terday consumed near Alicel, when a
conflagration of unknown origin
spread terror and destruction in the
vicinity of William >Webster's place.
Though the fire started early in the
day, at late hour there was still an
army of men fighting the flames and
eXtinguishing sparks wherever they
light to prevent spread to the Doane
Woodell field which is this week be-
ing headed. During the forenoon and
up until 2 o'clock there was little
danger of a spread, but a strong wind
worried the fighters.
AS soon as it was noticed that fire
had broken out, from where or how
no one knows-adjoining neighbors
hastily assembled to save as much as
possible of the grain. Two stacks is
all that remains of Mr.. Webster's
crop, and the loss is uninsured. over
$1,000 is a low estimate of the damage
done.
The battle with the flames was a
strenuous one, but heroic efforts fall
ed. The grain had recently been
headed and stacked, and proved to be
as dry as kindling.
During the noon hour fire was dis
covered in the c. d. Twidell thresh-
ing machine working on the Hank
McGoldrick farm about seven miles
from where the disastrous Webster
fire occurred. 1t is presumed a hot
box kindled some dry straw and while
the crew was at dinner the flames
broke out.
Action Of the very promptest kino
averted another conflagration of grain
stacks and fields. The crew pulled
the thresher5 from it's moorings and
away from the grain where golden
dollars lay in unthreshed grain.
The loss will run about 500 as
the machine is not a new one

Omaha, Aug. 11,-When off the
Oregon coast enroute from San Fran
cisco to Portland, j. W. Elwood or
this city wrote on a card, 81 want to

Before placing the bit of pasteboard

he showed the note to his wife.
"I'll prove whether shipwrecked sal
lors get rescued in this way" said he
jokingly.
This was three weeks ago, after the
Elks' celebration in Los Angeles,
which he had attended.
Today Elwood received a reply to
his message, from a woman who
signed her name Lucille Middleton OF
Santa Ana, Cal. She said she had

SENT TO UNITED STATES

Victoria, b C.-The steamer Mont
eagle arrived from the orient this
morning one day late. having been
forced to put back to Hong Kong,
owing to a typhoon encountered soon
after leaving port. she brought S5
saloon and "a storage passengers,
most of the latter being Chinese.
Among the passengers was w. s.
Mitchell, an American professor of en-
gineering. who Is bringing three Chi
nese students sent by the government
to take courses in engineering in Am
erican universities.
The boys, Turpin Hsi, NJ. Lea and
Chow Tsong Paha, have completed a
preparatory engineering course at the
Imperial Polytechnical college, Shang-
hal, and will take six-year courses in
America as follows: One to study me-
chanical engineering at Cornell; one
mining engineering at Columbia; one
civil engineering at Trinity college,
Hartford, Conn.
The students are sons Of China's
most wealthy business men and upon
their return home via Europe will re.
place foreigners in high engineering
positions. Professor Mitchell will as
sumo a chair at Columbia after dis
posing of his charges. Beginning this
fall China will send 100 students to
America annually for four years and
so yearly thereafter until 1899 have

The new policy is indicative of Chi
mas becoming modernized and the
future supplanting of foreigners in all
executive positions.

Portland-Allen C. Miller of Eu-

Ter is at his home, energetically do
ing nothing.
Not officially, but personally, he
was informed that If he ate sugar,
starch and fatty food, did not worry,
did not exercise, that he would have
a splendid chance of increase in
avoirdupois So he is living, the in
formation comes, on cinnamon rolls
and butter, because cinnamon rolls
combined with much butter present a
fattening nutriment that can not be
eXcelled.
Miller will not need to grow any
taller meanwhile, for he is already
past five feet and four inches alti-

from men who wish to enter the pos
tai service. Incidentally, women ap.
plying for postal positions are not
made eligible by physical qualiflca-

DEFENDS MARRYING
CHINANIAN AND WHITE GIRL

Chlcago.-The Rev Charles A.
Kelley, pastor of the Wabash Avenue
Methodist Episcopal church. defend
ed himself last night against the re-
buke of Judge Newcomer for per-
forming a marriage ceremony uniting
a Chinaman and an American woman
by citing the scriptures and the laws
of Illinois as sanctioning such
union, says the Tribune.
Judge Newcomer issued a warning
to ministers to investigate before
performing such marriage cememo-
MES. when Charles Lew, a Chinese
tailor. and his wife. Mrs Mabel Clark
Lew appeared at the municipal court
after they had been arrested at 40
Fourth avenue.
81 am sorry ! can do nothing for
the girl" said the court, "but ! can
not even send her to a home. He is
40 and she is only 81 years old. They
are discharged"
Replying to Judge Newcomers
implied criticism as reported in the
press of my action in marrying
Charlie LEX and Mabel Clark, / will
only say they came to me with IL
cense from the state and after care
full inquiry could find no moral i'm
pediment to their marriage. They
appeared to be excellent young people
and should not have been arrested. I
do not see that a minister can do
otherwise than marry properly au-
thorized parties, since the state and
scripture declare their marriage to be
legal In Acts we read. God that

IMPEACHMENT
TAKEN VERY COOLLY

Olympia, Wash, Aug. 1.-THE trial
OF John H. Schivedy, state insurance
commissioner, by the state senate, sit
ting as a court of impeachment, will
be resumed tomorrow. While the man
ayers of the prosecution have been
active since the recess began in as
sembling evidence, securing depositi-
ong and generally preparing for a
speedy trial. Schively and his counsei
have been openly inactive, and this
has given rise to the belief that the
insurance commissioner expects a ma
jority of the senate will vote to sus-
tain his demurrer and thus bring the
impeachment proceedings to an end.
1t is claimed today, however, that
several senators who have been listeo
as supporters of Schively have stated
that they will not vote for any dila-
tory tactics nor in favor Of any move
that will prevent the hearing of all
the evidence.
As Schively's attorney only a few
days ago asked for orders for deposi-
tions which are to be secured in vari-
Gus eastern cities, it is not expected
that the papers can be returned here
within two or three weeks which fact
may be made the basis of a plea tor
more delay.
Schively is charged in the articles Of
Impeachment with demanding and re-
ceving fees from insurance compa-
nies in excess Of those permitted by
statute, and with the commission Of
perjury.
In his demurrer Schively raises the
point that he cannot be impeached
while an elective officer, for actions
performed while an appointive deputy.

They knew the ways of the
elephant world and were i'm
pressed with the thought that
their cruel masters would
never permit them to see each
other again. Both elephants
took it to heart, and Queen
pinned ava in her sorrow until
at one time it was thought she
would grieve herself to death.
Time wore on, the wounded
feelings were healed. Last
winter Queen was purchased
by Yankee Robinson and
brought to the winter quarters
of the show. When she saw
Tom, although he had grown
twice his former size, she re-
cognized him. No. animal
man present will will ever for
get that meeting. Today this
couple are the happiest animals
in the world and the way Old
Tom cares for Queen is really
an interesting sight. Ask the
elephant men to point her out
when you pass through the
menagerie and you will zee the
happiest and most contented
elephant in all the world, un-
less it be Tom, who loves
Queen devotedly. All the
world loves a lover, and all the
elephants in the herd cores
pondingly love Queen and
Tom.
