In addition ! to the set speeches which will be marlel by Senators Teller and Foraker, Sen- | | to ator Alger, formerly Secretary of War, will take fifteen or twenty minutes in defense of General Wood's executive ability.

He followed very closely the testimony before the Military Affairs | Committee, and praised General Wood s, conduct in the Geronimo cam- the campaign against the| Apaches, the Spanish-American war | and the record he is now making in the | Philippines. No attention was paid by | Senator Quarles to the charges made | against General Wood, though he sug- | gested that in concluding to-morrow he would attempt to show they had not | proved after an exhaustive in- quiry by the Senate committee.

The Democrats had a ticket, but most | of the followers of that party consid- ered more harm could be done to the Republicans by encouraging factional strife, and voted with the independents. The result is of importance, as it was conceded that the loss of the Muiltno- mah County party organization which would follow defeat in to-day’s prima- ries would be a severe blow to Senator Mitchell's chances of re-election in 1307, and it was upon this point that the fight hinged. Local issues cut little fig- | ure in the campaign and both factions were a unit in the support of the pres- ent Federal administration. The almost comblete Regular tic! ., 8421; independent, 5140.

The difficulty | originated with the demand of journey- men plumbers for an increase of wages to $4 50 a day and of hodcarriers to $4 a day. The employing plumbers and plasterers, who belcng to the Builders’ Association, declined to ae- | cede to these demands, and as a con sequence work on many buildings wa: suspended. Affairs had gone along in this fashion for several weeks, when | last night a number of merchants, the members of the Builders’ Association | and other employers of labor organ ized themselves into a Citizens' Alll ance, patterned after similar organiza tiohs ‘in San Francisco, Los Angeles and other citles in the State. The Buiid ers’ Association this morning an- | nounced that its fight would hereafter be conducted by the Citizens’ Alliance.

To add to the complications, S.

THOUSANDS OF MEN IDLE. | Labor Troubles ln ew York Threaten the Industrial World. | YORK, Mdrch 16.—Labor | | troubles, as a result of which many | | thousands of men are idle, again | threaten the industrial world and the situation is expected to become as NEW | serious as the memorable troubles of | a year ago. In the building trades in\ city it is estimated that 20,000 | out of work and (hx\l‘ they will be increased almost daily. ’ In addition, the printing trades are threatened by the attitude of the litho- | graphers, 10,000 of whom are expected | to be locked out throughout the coun- | try by nightfall. The various unions of the Allied | Lithographing Trade organizations held conferences to-night and decidedi not to accept the arbitration plan pro- posed to them by the Employers’ As- sociation. The arbitration plan was submitted individually to-day to every workman employed by a member of | the association and they were told if they did not accept the plan they would be locked out. The men were given until Saturday to decide. If the | men refuse to sign the agreements more than 10,000 men will be locked out. The lockout will be all over the United States and also in Canada. pRRa. o i Miners Accept Offer of Operators.

In a few places in Indiana, where the foreign element prevails, there is a small majority in favor of a strike. LI e L e Refuse to Sign the Agreement. BUFFALO, N. Y., March 16.—Em- ployes in the seven large lithograph- ing establishments in this city went to | work to-day after adopting a resolu- | tion not to gign the agreement sub- mitted to them by the National Asso- ciation of Lithographers’ Employers. Each employer will now proceed to deal with the men individually. By the end of this week, it is expected, practically all the men will have been locked out. —————— Silver Found Near Grants Pass.

He advertised in all the Los Angeles newspapers for a partner with $500, promising $8 per day and expenses to a female partner, and the young woman answered the advertisement.
