 q did the best I could and put forth the best that was in me to win, but despite the rain Of blows Willard seemed unaffect- ed, though I hit him hard enough and often enough in the first 20 rounds to floor ten ordinary men.
 "One consolation I have is that I have proved to my friends that I was in condition. This was shown by the fight up to the 20th round. No man could have tried harder than I to win, but I was against man who wouldn't crumble when I hit him, and whose right to my jaw took the championship from me-"

Hugo's Prediction.

A day will come when the only bat
tlefeld will be the market open to COM
MERGE and the mind opening to new
ideas. A day will come when bullets
and bombshells will be replaced by
votes, by the universal suffrage of ma
tons, by the venerable arbitration OF a
great sovereign Senate, which will be to
Europe what the Parliament is to Eng
land, what the Diet is to Germany, what
the Legislative Assembly is to France.
A day will come when a cannon will be
exhibited in public museums, just as
an instrument Of torture is now, and
people will be astonished how such
thing could have been. A day will come
when these two immense groups, the
United States of America and the United
States of Europe, shall be seen placed
in presence of each other, extending
the hand of fellowship across the ocean.

oreaon senatorship Vote.

Portland, Ore.-Gov. G. E. Chamber
iain, Democrat, is the choice OF the
people of Oregon for the United States
senatorship to succeed Charles w.
Fulton, Republican. and a Republican
Legislature has been chosen to elect
him.
Chamberlain's majority over his op-
ponent. Judge Henry NJ. Cake, Repub-
lican, it is believed, will exceed 1000.
Chamberlain's victory is in the nature
of a personal triumph. Oregon nor
mally is Republican. and in 1904 Roos-
evelt's plurality was 42,434. Gov
ernor Chamberlain has twice been
elected governor of this state.
The selection of Chamberlain by the
people is but preliminary step to
the senatorship. In Oregon candidates
for the Legislature align themselves
either in the statement No. l" col
umn or in the "anti-statement No. l.
column. Statement No. L" is pledge
to support in the Legislature the can
didate having the. endorsement of the
people. p,
The complexion of the next Legisla-
ture. as indicated BY the returns, will
be almost unanimously Republican,
and it may be the lot of a Republican
Legislature to send a Democrat to the
Senate.
From the figures at hand it would
appear that there will be about forty
eight Statement No. l" men in the
next Legislature. 1t requires fortysix
votes to elect.
Prohibition was an important factor
in the election, the anti-saloon element
making a surprising showing. Fro1L

filed suit in the District Court against
the present officers and directors of
the company, the Standard Oil Com

The officers and directors of the
United Oil Company named are Craw-
ford Hill, president; Samuel F. Rath-

Howard p. Eells. William A. Otis,
U. S. Hollister and William r,

Wallace charges that by mismanage
ment and extravaganza the funds of
the United Oil Company have been
dissipated by Hill and Rathvon and
hints at a Standard Oil conspiracy to
freeze him out. He declares that his
resignation as director and vice pres
ident of the company was forced. He
asks for the appointment of a receiver
and prays for an injunction restraining
the defendants from selling any prop
erty or product during the pendency
of the suit; also for the dissolution of
