TOLSTOI HITS CZAR .Russia the Real Culprit Jewish iNiassacres, in RESULT OF PREACHING LIES Priesthood Is Held to Be Foolish and fanatical and the Government Officials a. Gang: of Robber. ST. PETERSBURG. May 2L Answering a private letter asking for his opinion of the Klshlnet massacre. Count Tolstoi ;wTites: "My relations to the Jews and the ter rible Klshinef affair must be clear to ev erybody Interested in my beliefs. My re lation to the Jews can only be as that to brothers whom I love, not because they are Jews, but because they and everybody are the sons of one Father-God. That love does me no violence because I have met and known Jews who are very good people. My relation to the Klshinef crime Is also denned in my religious beliefs. "Before knowing all the frightful de tails, I understood the horror and felt in tense pity .for the innocent victims of mob savagery, mingled with perplexity at the bestiality of the so-called Christians, and aversion and disgust for the so-called ed ucated people who Instigated the mob and sympathized with its deeds. Above all, I was horrified at the real culprit, namely, the government, with Its foolish, fanat ical priesthood and gang of robber offi cials. The Klshinef crime was a conse quence of preaching lies and violence which the government carries on with such stubborn energy. The government's relation to the affair Is now proof of Its rude egotism, hesitating at no atrocity when It Is a question of crushing move ments regarded as dangerous, and Is proof of Its complete equanimity which is like that of the Turkish government toward the Armenian massacre." JEWS STILL IX STATE OF TERROR, Another Massacre Ik Momentarily Expected at Klshinef. BERLIN, May 2L The singular state of mind of the people of Klshinef, Bess arabia, while they were killing the Jews there about a month ago, is described in a letter from a non-Jewish German of Odessa, received by the relief committee here. He said: "The leaders of the bands, on entering Jewish dwellings, often addressed the oc cupants good naturedly. saying: 'Poor brethren, we must kill you. It Is so or dered.' "Monstrous things were not done until robbers began to participate, and when they became Intoxicated with the Christian zeal." The state of terror of Jews at Klshinef, the letter adds, continues. A fresh mas sacre is expected there, and the Jews of Odessa and all of the large towns of BessaTabia are living in hourly dread of death. The whole province seems to be in a state of fanatical fury against the Jews. The writer of the letter then says: "The excitement Is intensified through proclamations distributed in the streets and the tone of the bitterly anti-Semitic letters. The Russians say to their edu cated and tolerant countrymen Who urge keeping the peace: 'It Is the Czar's, will that the Jews be robbed. Orders" have been given; we start again at Pente cost." "The situation has become all the worae since the Important Russian papers have been prevented by the censorship from freely expressing their opinions. Their behavior, almost without exception, has been excellent. Unless the government adopts a more energetic policy the events at Klshinef will undoubtedly be repeated In other towns. As Indicated the com plete disapproval of the best classes, re spectable Russian lawyers, are assisting the sufferers to obtain redress." JEWS CANNOT ORGANIZE. Rnssinn Officials Ordered to Pat Down Self-Dense Orders. ST. PETERSBURG. AVednesday. Mar 20. The circular of Minister Von Plewhe, issued May 17. ascribed the massacre of the Jews at Klshinef largely to acts of self-defense on the part of the Jews, and continued: "Thp events at Klshinef have alarmed the ..Jewish portion of the population in many regions of the empire, and have oc casioned rumors among the Christians about intended Jewish persecutions. In some cities the Jews began forming self defense associations. After I reported to His Majesty about the disorders. His Majesty commanded me to Impress on the commanders In the province and towns that they are obligated and are held personally responsible to take all the necessary moasures to prevent violence and calm the populace In order to remnv the occasion of fears for life and property J "In informing your excellencv of the Monarch's will, I feel obliged to state for your guidance that no sort of associations for self-defense can be tolerated." The Jews are not inclined to depend solely on the police, and have armed themselves, in spite of the circular throughout the Jewish belt. Undoubtedly their action prevented a repetition of the massacre at Kiev, Odessa, Minsk and elsewhere. SHOULD ORDER CASSINI HOME. Chie:iKo Rabbi's Idea of the Dnty ot the United States CHICAGO. May 21. "It is the duty of the United States to break off all trea ties and relations with Russia, to give Count Cassinl his papers, and send him back to his master. America cannot hold its position in the van of nations, and be n friend of a country that could be gulliy of such barbarities as the Klshinef mas sacres." This was the emphatic declaration of Rabbi Rappaport in Bethel Temple, at a meeting of Jews called to protest against recent statements made by Count Casslnl. Russian Ambassador at Washington, as a sort of justification of the treatment of tho Russian Jews. The Rabbi continuedi "Only a few months ago the Czar issued a proclamation of universal religious free dom, but he spoke to the galleries. We are met to protest against one who Is not less In this respect than his master one who added insult to Injury by his attempt to excuse the massacre on the grounds that Russian Jews are usurers and op pressors." Seattle Hebrew Scopes Cnssini. SEATTLE. "Wash.. May 2L The state ment recently made by Count Cassim. Russian Ambassador to the United States, that the persecution of the Jews at Klshi nef. Russia, was the result of exactions made on the peasants by Jewish money lenders, is vigorously denied by Mosei Leites. a prominent Russian business man. of Seattle. Mr. Leites was born and reared In the city where the carnage took place, and he is familiar with conditions there. Mr. Leites declares that there are no Jewish money-lenders In Russia because that na tionality Is forbidden by law to lend or borrow money. He says that the charge that the attack was made by peasants Is untrue, because it occurred on a holiday, and the peasants do pot come to the city in large numbers on holidays. Mr. Leites says the massacre was due to the Government officials, and that he has positive assurance that the government at the seat of Russia knew what was to take place. Mr. Leites challenges Count Casslnl to prove a single assertion he has made. , Charge Against Rassla Untrue. WASHINGTON. May 21. The state ment of Dr. "Walter Kempster telegraphed from Milwaukee last night that the entire Government edition of a report made by him on the condition of the Jews in Russia in 1S91 had disappeared, and inti mating that it was suppressed or de stroyed 'through Russian agencies, is not substantiated by the records of the Gov ernment Printing Office. Six thousand copies of the report were printed and dis tributed in the usual way. Some copies still stand to the credit of Senators and Representatives. San Francisco Sends Relief, SAN FRANCISCO. May 21. At a mass meeting of Jewish citizens held here, much sympathy was expressed with their persecuted brethren in Russia, and a col lection of $245 was taken up to add to the several relief funds. Resolutions were adopted condemning the Russian govern ment in strongest terms, and calling upon the authorities at "Washington to inter cede in behalf of their oppressed co-rellg-ionists. BACKBONE OF BUSINESS. 'Tis Advertising, Says One Who Has Succeeded Thereby. "Advertising Is the backbone of busi ness," said E. W. Spauldlng, officially ad vertising director of the Curtis Publishing Company, of Philadelphia, and unofficially and at all times apostle of publicity, to an Oregonian representative in the lobby of the Portland Hotel yesterday afternoon. Mr. Spauldlng is a fine pattern of the 20th contury man of affairs, and the epigram to which he gave expression, as quoted above, is the keynote of the splendid sue Cess which has come to the Ladies' Home Journal and Saturday Evening Post, the publications which he represents. His visit to Portland was an Incident In tour of the Pacific Coast, which he la making with a view to establishing branch office of his company. He came to this city from Seattle and left last evening for San Francisco after an examination of Portland's business conditions. "I am here," said he, "on a comblna tlon business and pleasure trip. It Is tny first visit to this Coast, and It has opened my eyes to many things. I never realized oerore the wonderful resources of your country and Its remarkable possibilities. Portland Is a beautiful, substantial city and seems to be growing rapidly. I have enjoyed my stay here Immensely, and am glad to have added It to my calling list. "For a year or more our company has been considering the advisability of cstab usnmg an omce on the coast, and I am looking the field over with that idea in view. Our publications, the Ladles' Home Journal and Saturday Evening Post, have a larger circulation In the Pacific Coast States than any other district In the United States In proportion to population. We appreciate this and realize the Im portance of having an office on the ground to take advantage of the wonderful growth and development you are destined to undergo In the immediate future. The East is beginning lo realize the great Im portance of this country, and Is looking this way for business and this country should reciprocate and enter the Eastern markets with her products. Distance has always been the great barrier between the extreme sections, but that has practically been overcome ,and the two are now In effect one community. I would suggest that your business Interests do more ad vertising In the East and get onto the ground with your goods. Advertising is the backbone of business, and the town of community which falls to advertise Is dead. "The remarkable growth of our Ladies' Home Journal and Saturday Evening Post is due to two things: First, giving the public the very best matter which can beJ ijuj. miu i jienuuicai; ana, secona, leuing about It in a dignified way through the proper advertising channels. We spend iSM.mo a year for newspaper and matra zine space in advertising our publications. The Journal has 1,000.000 paid subscrin tlons, and the Post 550.000, and this result has been attained by advertising. We op erate the largest periodical publishing pjant in the world In Philadelphia and have offices In New York, Boston and Chi cago, we employ more than 700 people and have a payroll of nearly $40,000 per month, we have oO perfecting presses running constantly and during the year print 40.ow.wo copies of pprlodlcal publl canons. e have been the pioneers In the matter of advertising and are expand ing at a remarKabie rate. We have been handling our Pacific Coast business from the Chicago office, but realize the need of getting right here among you and are planning an office at one of the Coast cities. We expect to spend a crreat amount or money here without expecta tion of getting it back inside of two years, but are confident that we will get it back. Your people appreciate good literature. We give it to them and at the same time do not hide our light under a bushel. I can foresee great things for us out here and shall so report to my associates on the directorate of the company. "I am amazed at the development of the states and cities of the Northwest, and am determined that our company shall keep to the front. of it. This Is the great est field for Investment in the United States, and the fact should be kept con tinually In the mind of the people of the East. I might advise. It would be well to advertise unceasingly and without stint. word upon word, line upon line, precept upon precept, tnat is the business rule which wins and the Importance of It Is more apparent at this moment than ever oeiore. i am impressed with the excellence of your newspapers: they are thoroughly metropolitan, comparing favorably with those of the big cities of the East, and are doing their utmost to advance this country. , "My visit to Portland has been a revela tion to m? in many ways, and I now have the utmost confidence in vour present stability and the great future" which is In store for you." 1 STUDENTS AT CORVALLIS All. .Counties of Stnte Represented Others From Elsewhere.

CUT No Decision Yet Made by the Port land fc Asiatic Line What Will the Great Northern Dof The big fight for trans-Pacific freight business, predicted In Wednesday's Ore gonian. Is on at full blast In San Fran cisco, and the lines operating from Port land and Puget Sound ports are figurative ly speaking "holding their breath" In fear of what will happen next When Jl per ton was lopped off the rate by the China Commercial Steamship Company, agents of the Northern lines which run light on Inward cargoes saw their profits vanishing In thin air. This was easy, however, com pared with what came yesterday, for ad vices from the Bay City report a further cut to 51 per ton. the lowest rate ever made from a Pacific Coast port to Hong; Robert Cory. Kong. The figure Is so absurd when the service Is considered that It might as well hive been cut to 25 cents per ton. Local transportation men are at sea regarding the outcome of the fight, and have not yet decided what will be done with the business from this city. The Portland & Asiatic Liner Indravelll, which is scheduled to sail the latter part of the month, has pretty full engagements at the old rate, and this fact will give the local company time to do a little spar ring for wind before It makes a decision regarding the future rate. Beyond the knowledge that the Pacific Mail has cut the rate to 51 per ton, very little Is Tcnown of the transaction locally. Some of the transportation men in this city are inclined to believe that this rate will apply only to Pacific Mail steamers sailing on or about the same date as the steamers of the China Commercial Com pany. Even. If this be true. It will still cause a vast amount of trouble, for ship pers will make it a point to hold back shipments for the dollar steamers. The new line which has brought on the fight has one decided -advantage over the older lines, and that Is that for the present at least it Is well supplied with profitable cargoes coming In this direction. The Atholl. the pioneer ship of the fleet, Is reported to have brought on her first trip 2200 Chinese passengers for Mexico, and the promoters of the line are said to have a contract with the Mexican govern ment by which they are to bring over a great many thousand more. Taking it altogether. It Is about as interesting a scrap as has come up In transportation deles for many years, and the outcome no man can tell. It Is almost certain, however, it will not be settled until the Great Northern makes a try at the trade with its mammoth new steamers. - FIRST OF A NEW LINEL China Commercial Steamer Atholl Reaches San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, May 2L The British steamer Atholl. the first of the new line plying between here, Manzanlilo and Oriental ports, arrived today. The Atholl Is owned by the China Commercial Com pany, which is branching out for trade with the Orient. The steamer brought 2000 tons of general cargo to this port, and has a full cargo waiting to go out on her. She left 400 Chinese at Manzanlilo, this being the first of a consignment of 4000 who are to be employed on the Mexican Central Railroad.

THE KISHINEF MASSACRE Count Casslnl Badly Informed as to True State of Affairs. VANCOUVER. Wash.. May 19. (To the PIONEER WHO FOUGHT IN THE MEX ICAN WAR. SCIO, Or., May 10. Special.) Robert Cory, a well-known pioneer, of this city, died Sunday, at 2 A. M. at the age of 74 years. He was a pioneer of 1650, and was a Mexican War veteran, being employed as a teamster. In which capacity ho made five trips across the plains. He settled near ScIo In 1SS3. Ho was burled Thursday by the Ma sons, of which order he was an honored member. His wife and 13 children survive aim. Edltor.) The Russian Ambassador's Justi fication of the Klshinef massacre, as given In his interview to the Associated Press, and made public In this morning's Ore gonian, Is inconsistent with the true facts, to say the least. It Is only a few days ago that the Rus sian Minister of the Interior, In his offi cial report, stated plainly that the trou ble was due to religious 111 feeling. And now comes the Russian Ambassador at Washington, Count Casslnl, and Is ready to swear that there Is no ill feeling against the Jews In Russia because of religion, and that Jt was all because the Jews in Russia are all money-lenders. I wonder how Count Casslnl would ex plain away all the Innumerable laws en acted by his government against Its Jew ish subjects in general. Irrespective of their occupations. The Jewish mechanic Is Just as much under the ban of the law as the Jewish merchant, and the pro fessional man Is not a bit more favored than the worklngman. For not all the Russian Jews are money-lenders, any more than that all the American Jews are pawnbrokers. I3 the Russian government excluding ambitious Jewish youths from colleges and universities because of fear they might turn out money-lenders? How ridiculous! Count Casslnl again states that his gov ernment affords the same protection to the Jews that -it does to any other of its citizens when a riot occurs. If it did, the rioting In a city like Klshinef. with thousands of soldiers within its limits, could certainly not have continued for two days unchecked. Count Casslnl Is either Ignorant of the true state of affairs in his native country, or else he Is imbued with the same spirit that moved the instigators of the Klshinef massacre to commit tne atrocious on slaught upon the Jews.

San Francisco Has Not Received Ex pected Snpply Victoria Has Had to Import From Washington. WASHINGTON, May 2L A. E. Smith, United States Consul at Victoria, reports concerning the British Columbia coal .in dustry: The Vancouver Island mines are better developed than ever In the history of the Province of British Columbia. Dur ing 1S02 coal was mined to a larger extent than ever before, notwithstanding the competition with the fuel oil of Califor nia. Some 1.731,000 tons of coal were mined In tho province during 1902, and about 200,000 tons of that amount were converted into coke, making 127,S00 tons of this latter product. There has been an Important discovery of anthracite coal four miles from Cum berland, near the celebrated Comox mines. The deposit Is found to be ex tensive, the same vein cropping out In places two or three miles apart. None has been brought to market, but GO men are employed In developing It and a railway is In process of construction thereto. The anthracite Is. of excellent nualltv. shows nn nnnlvsls nf SO 7 In carbon, and is practically smokeless. The Wellington Colliery Company, which owns the ground, expects to have the coal on the market by next Fall. The Extension mines, ten miles south of Nanalmo, owned by the Wellington Colliery Company, have been closed since the middle of March. The cause Is not any question of wages. In March a meet ing of the employes was held to consider the question of asking for increased wages, when, at the instance of a repre sentative of the Western Federation of Miners (an organization which has Its headquarters In California), a large ma jority of the men present voted to form a union and to make It a branch of the Western Federation. As soon as news of this action reached James Dunsmulr, the president of the Wellington Colliery Company, he directed that a notice be placed all through he vicinity that the mine would be closed April 1, 1903. The men responded on March 10 by voting to quit work at once. Since then not a ton of coal has been produced In this great mine. The men insist on their right to Join any union they choose, and the directors oi the Wellington Colliery Company maintain that while they have no objection to the men forming a union among themselves, they will not employ men who belong to an International or ganization and are subject to the orders of men living outside of Canada. The result Is that 1000 miners have been Idle for six weeks, and tho tnn-n nt Ladysmlth Is rapidly becoming depopu lated. Large numbers of the miners have left the island and have obtained work In the Crow's Nest, or Washington, mines. The president of the colliery com pany. In a published interview. Insists that he has spent millions ,of dollars In the development of, his mines and will not submit to any Interference by out side, labor organizations, but will rather close his mines for ten years. Up to date, therefore, the expected ex tension of coal export to San Francisco owing to the suspension of the United States duty on coal, has been effectually checked. Indeed, a coal famine In this city has been prevented only by the Importation of coal from Washington, and the price has been raised from $6 to $5.50 per ton for household use. The acuteness of the situation here has been brought to the notice of the Do minion authorities at Ottawa, and a labor commission appointed to investigate the same. It will next month commence to receive evidence In Victoria and other points in the Province, but there is no gn3Lgs.CtthCrS,deaSreelng t0 A KNIGHT WHO MADE PROGRESS.

Dr. Miles' Nervine is a sure cure for all three maladies. It soothes the brain, strengthens the nerves of the stomach and digestive organs, bringing sleep, rest, health, strength and a good digestion. "Smallpox contracted while in the army, left me with a disease of the spine, nearly blind, and with a complication of nervous affections. Perhaps the most distressing of all ray troubles were the sick headaches which grew more frequent and severe as the years passed by, until I became a confirmed dyspeptic with all the characteristic symp toms of nervousness, indigestion, ana in somnia. In my search for health.Ileftmy old home in Aroostook county, Maine, and located in the west. Soon after coming here my attention was called to Dr. Miles Re storative Nervine, and I decided to try it It soon- stopped my headaches and I nave not had one since. When I had taken six bottles my health was wonderfully improved in every way. I am well today, eat and sleep all right and in fact feel that my youth has been renewed." J. B.
