HE DEFENDS OREGON LAW SENATOR BOURNE , REPUBLICAN , DEFENDS A DEMOCRAT. SPEAKS FOR MR. CHAMBERLAIN Answering Criticisms That the Oregon Primary Law Tends to Destroy Par ty Lines , Senator Bourne Says It Works for Purity In Politics. Washington , May 5.

" After , outlining the contest Mr. Bourne said : "At the general election in June Sen ator Chamberlain defeated Mr. Cake , notwithstanding the state was over whelmingly republican , thereby devel oping from the democratic candidate into the people's choice for United States senator. The normal repub lican majority In Oregon , I think , Is from 15,000 to 20.000. "With full recognition of Governor Chamberlain's ability and fitness for the office , the fact that for nearly six years he made the best governor Or egon over had and considering un doubtedly he Is the most popular man in our state , I deem it but Just to the law and a proper answer to the criti cism of enemies of the law that It destroys party lines and integrity , testate state that In my opinion Senator Chamberlain received s'tho votes of sev eral thousand republican enemies of the law who believed that In electing Governor Chamberlain , a democrat , they would prevent a republican legis lature from ratifying the people's se lection , obeying the people's instruc tions , and electing as United States senator the Individual , regardless of party that the people might select for that olllce. " A TILT IN THE SENATE Washington , May 5. The word "in sulting" was used in a debate in the 1 senate. It was applied by Senator Heyburn to remarks made concerning him by Senator Bulkeley.

I Mr. Bulkeley Interpreted this statement - ment as reflection on the postoffico ' department and In defense said he ' had had a contrary experience. Ho added that he did not know why there should be a difficulty between Idaho and Connecticut. Something about his manner caused senators to laugh and the manifestation of mirth provoked - | voked a protest from Senator Hey- , burn who declared Mr. Bulkeley's re marks were "Insulting" and that it was regrettable that the senate ' should be turned into a "giggling school. " Responding , Mr. Bulkeley said that if the Idaho senator's maps were lost he had a right to complain and con cerning Mr. Heyburn said : "His very presence on the floor is apt to cause a little amusement. " If this statement was meant to have a modifying effect it went wide from the mark. Mr. Heyburn appealed to the chair. "No senator on this floor is entitled to mnko a remark so full of Intention al insult as that spoken by the sen ator from Connecticut , " he said. "Tho rules provide protection against such treatment. " Mr. Bulkeley was beginning to say that he had merely undertaken to defend the postofllce department , but Mr. Heyburn would not permit him to proceed. He demanded a ruling on the question of privilege which ho had raised. Yielding , the vice president hold the remark of the Connecticut senator to bo in disparagement of his Idaho colleague. Mr. Bulkoley was pro ceeding to say that if ho had said anything - ' , thing that was disturbing to the peace of mind of the senator from Idaho ho would withdraw the remark. Even this did not satisfy Mr. Hoyburn , but the chair hold it to be sufficient amends and the incident closed. Many Hurt In Explosion. Philadelphia , May 4.

Well dressed women make It a business to single out such cases and follow with an Invitation to din ner. ner.Then Then they describe the pleasure of alternative proposals. The girls de livered to the stockade , It then be comes the business of the proprietor to place his merchandise. In this end of the trafllc , Lovlnson said ho was a specialist. Ills business was to find n house where the girl was wanted. The house paid the stockade keeper a lump sum and allowed Lovlnson a 10 per cent royalty on the girl's earnings. Lovinson said he began as a sales man of women's raincoats. It hap pened that most of his customers were Inmates of disreputable houses and finally ho stopped selling clothes to take up trading In the humanit } .

A MIX-UP IN CHINA. Race Riots Place Government In Em barrassing Position. Changhsha , China , May 5. The re cent rioting in this province has now placed the Chinese government In an embarrassing position , regarding the Hankow-Canton railway loan. Evidence accumulated that the dis turbance was deliberately planned by influential positions as a warning to the central authorities not to meddle In the affairs of Hunan province and to make plain the determined opin ion of Hunanltes to foreign competi tion in railway construction. Millions of Chinese are imbued with the Idea that the government is yield ing to foreign influence whl"h is seek ing political control in China. Poking realizes the situation , and , while de siring to proceed with the railway agreement , understands that hasty ac tion by the government might be fol lowed by the most serious circum stances. A protracted delay appears Inevitable. Meantime the central authorities are making efforts to placate the Hunan ltes and have ordered the new govern or to deal lienlently with the race rioters and also with the revolutionists who recently attempted the bomb out rage against the crown. Would-be as sassins have not been put to death , but have been sentenced to life im prisonment. STILL TALKING FARM. i Labor and Farmers May Unite to Cut Out the Middleman. St. Louis , May 5.
