PORTLAND REPUAR.
The Populists and Democaats Fuse at
Yesterday's Election, but Fall
Before tiic Avalanche.
Portland. Or, Jnii4 In Portland
it is safe to say the. Republicans have
elected tha entire ticket. For the past
eight yenrs (two terms) Pennoyer,
Populist, has been governor. Tha rast of
the ticket, except the attorney general,
has been Republican. Nathan Pierce,
the bend of the Populist ticket, un
doubtedly polled r. large vote, but
it is thought that tue fact that Gallo
way, Democrat, continued in tho fight,
helped to elect Lord, Republican can
didate for governor. Hermann is cer
tainly and Ellis Tirobably re -elected to
congress. The mini fight in tho state
was ou the legislative ticket, thirty
representative's an I fifteen senators
wero chosen.
Fifteen senators held over, of which
six are Republicans and seven Demo
crats, one Popnlist and ono Indepe nd
ent R -publican. All partes iiuve
traded right and loft to gala votes
for the legislative ticket. As a
rule the Democrats and Populists
huvo fused Jon legislative caru'.i lates,
which makes the result very uncertain.
It is really a fight against Senator
Dolph by Governor Pennoyer for the
United Slates sonatorship.

THE senato today entered ou the
second half year of the sossion,
the tenth week of the considera
tion of tho tariff bill, aud the
third day of the diecussion of the sugar
schedule. Notwithstanding Senator
Harris' avowed intention to havo prog
ress made, it was not until alter a
quarter of an hour from the time of
meeting that a quorum could bo ob
tained, aud even than there was not
one senator to spare. Too first piece
of business done was the passage of a
j int resolution appropriating 10,0)0
lor the expenses of inquiries and in
VeStlgStionS ordered by the senate.
At 10. Ill) the tariff bill was taken up.
The discussion was entirely on the
amendment of tho finance committee
postponing from July 1, 1805, the date
for the repuul of the sngar bounty to go
Into effect, to be followed by a similar
amendment in reference to the imposi
tion of tho duties on sugar.
SCHEME FOR THE SUOAIt TRUST.
Republican senators insisted that
these umendinonts would be for tha ex
clusive ban fit of th" sugar truit, which
would then have six months iu which
to gather In all tho sugar of tho world
fre of duty, and to put into its own
treasury the duties whicii shuuld go to
the treasury of the United States.
Tho senators who represented the
Democratic element of the finance com
mittee, argue.l against the correctness
of that interpretation, No action was
tnkonon tho amendment, but it was ar
ranged, by unanimous consent, that the
vote upon it, and upou Mr. Hander
son's amendment to u (for a continu
ance of the bounty until 1905) shall bo
taken at 1 o'clock tomorrow, that da

Newark, N. J., June 4 Hedwig
Hubauii, aged 18 years, died at the
city hospital at noon today from tha '
effects of a dose of carbolic acid taken
with suicidal intent, because her
parents objected to her receiving
the attontioue of Fred Winkler. The
Ilnbach's are comfortably situated
and lavished everything that money j
could buy on their daughter. She was j
decidedly pretty and accomplish od and
consequently had many admirers. H- r
parents did not object nntil they learn
ed that her affection for Winkler hail
ripened into lova and the couple
were seriously couiempiaiing main
mony.
To this the girl's parents objected on
auconnt of her youth and wheu she re
fuse I to be guided by their choice they
issued peremptory orders that Winkler
should call at the house no more.
Winkler ceased calling at the house,
but the lovers frequently met
clandestinely. They arranged to
meet yesterday and when she was
prepared to go out bet father insisted
that she should remain at home. She
importuned him to allow 1 e: to go. bnt
he was firm, and the girl was obliged
to remain at home. All night and far
into tho morning she was hoard crying
bitterly.
During the temporary absence of her
parents this morning sho seut her little
brother Joseph to a drug store for 10
cents worth of carbolio acid, which
she said she wanted for disinfect
ing purposes. She attempted to
drink the contents of the vial
at ono swallow, but was unable to do
so, and fell to tho floor unconscious.
She was taken to tho city hospital
where she died without having re
gained consciousness. Her parents aro
prostrated and it is feared the shock
may kill tho girl's mother.
