Believe Gathering of Railway Forces
FOreshadows Effort to Induce Pres

Provisions of Railway Measures
Now Before Senate and the House.

New York, N. Y, June 4.-The
great interests are lining up for a til
tanic struggle between the govern
ment and the railroads over the rate
Increases. The first big meeting of
the railroad interests will be held
Wednesday at the Belmont hotel when
the railway business association meets
to consider plans of aiding the rail-
roads with a view to preventing the
cancellation of orders for equipment.
The association represents the manu-
facturers of railway equipment for 25
states. Their action will probably
guide the decision of other organiza-
tions whose interests are allied with
the railroads.
Railway officials declare they can
not operate profitably and make i'm
provements unless the increase is
granted. If not granted they will can
eel orders for equipment, thereby
throwing hundreds out of employment.
The effect on the country is n problem.
II is believed the gathering of the rail-
road forces foreshadows a concerted
move to exert pressure on President
Taft TO compel Wickersham to with
draw the Hannibal injunction suit
now preventing 25 railways from in
creasing rates.

Senate Passed Bill.

Washington, June 4.-The senate
passed the administration railroad bill
a. 9:55 o'clock last night 1t had
been under consideration for more
than 10 weeks and practically no
other business except appropriation
bills were considered in that long
period. Only 10 votes, all by demo-
Gratis, were recorded against the bill.
The practical unanimity with which
the measure was passed was due to
radical changes made in the measure
from the form in which II was drafted
by Attorney General Wickersham fol
lowing numerous conferences at the
White House on the subject of am
ending interstate commerce laws. All
the insurgents" who opposed many
features of the original bill, voted
for It last night.

Pekin, June 4.-Prince Chun. re-
gent, and father of the boy emperor,
has called an imperial council to con-
slider the problem of checking the
uprising. He realizes it is a govern
ment crisis. Foreign consuls through
out the empire are notified protection
will be granted them at consulates,
but have asked them to notify for
eigners to leave the country imme-
diately as the feelingsis bitter.
Strong detachments of Chinese
troops are being rushed from Shang-
hal in anticipation of an outbreak
at Nanking. Reports from the in
terror indicate a great uprising is inn
minent. Starting in Nu-Nan, the re-
volt is spreading rapidly. Revolu-
tionary organizations have been sup
piled with arms and ammunition and
money from America. The Caadian
Chinese are enlisting thousands Of
natives. Foreigners are fleeing from
the interior for their lives. So great
is the danger foreigners at seaports
are warned to prepare toembark on
vessels with a moments notice. A
serious aspect is given to the rebellion
as it is planned now to overthrow the
Manchu dynasty and try to drive all
foreigners from the empire.

at Eugene.
DECISION UNANIMOUS
FAVOR OF PENDLETON
Discussing Negative of Bank Guaranty
Question Local Orators Defeat Eu-
Presented Team by President Camp
bell of University of Oregon.

Eugene, Ore, June 4.-By defeating
the debating team of the Eugene High
school tonight, the trio from Pendle-
ton won the interscholastic champion
ship of the state. The decision was
unanimous but the contest was char
acterized by speeches on both sides,
of unusual excellence. Pendleton had
the negative side of the state Guaran-
tee question and won by superiority
OF argument. The judges of the de-
bate We're: Prof. G. P. Mathews, of
%. A. c.; Prof. Kirk of Willamette
University, and Prof. Elizabeth Irving
Of Albany College. The Pendleton de-
baters were Peter Crockett, Lyman
Rice, James Hartwell. The Eugene
debaters were Jesse Kellus, Victor
Morris and Harold Young.
At the conclusion of the debate the
Pendleton team was presented with
sthe regents cup by President P. L.
Campbell of U. OF o.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-06-04

There is much rejoicing in Pendle-
ton today over the winning of the
championship. Though the local de-
baters have steadily marched up the
ladder by winning contest after con-
test both at home and abroad, 1t is
not believed possible that they could
go to Eugene and win the highest
honors from the home team in the
very shadow of the state university.
When asked for a statement this
morning. City Superintendent Landers
said, 81 have nothing to say. The
thing speaks for itself" Neverthe-
less he is immensely proud, as is every
other citizen, of the showing made.
1t was considered remarkable that
a Pendleton team should twice in sue
cession win the honor of contending
in the final contest but there were
few who dared hope for final victory.
Possibly the most remarkable feature
of the final result. as well as the sea-
sons succession of victories, is the fact
that never before this year has any
member of the team ever participated
ir debate. and for one member of the
team. Lyman Rice, last nights debate
was the very first forensic contest.
The Pendleton debaters had previ
ously won from Athena, Weston, the
Gillian county high school and La
Grande The latter contest decided
the championship of eastern Oregon.
Then the championship of the Colum-
bia river and Coast districts were for
feited and it was up to the locals to
aAntan1 1,-itI hftrI, Sahnn1
for the championship of Oregon.
It is expected that the members of
the team. as well as Principal Hamp-
ton and wife. G.. NJ. Rice and Merle
Chessman, will stop in Portland for a
couple of days at the Rose show be-
fore returning to Pendleton.

If it were granted. But everyone
knows this is and has become the
clever cry Of the clever politician and
in those States and countries where
equal suffrage prevails shows a
steady increase in the registered
vote Of women. In Australia's last

has been steadily increasing up to
the present time. However, sue
cesscs and experiences of other local
tiles many times count as nou.ht, for
conservatism is totally blind to the
testimony of experiences when that
tells against some of their precon-
ceived political aspirations. This no
doubt, linked with the advent of a
liquor phase to the question was
what caused the defeat of women s
