KAISER 18 WRATH Striking Coal Miners Have His Sympathy, HE MAY FORCE SETTLEMENT Obstinacy of German Coal Barons Arouses William and Turns Pub v He Sympathy to Miners Dis cussion in Reichstag. CHICAGO, Jan. 20. (Special.) The Chicago Dally News' Berlin corre spondent says: "Kaiser Wllhelm's personal intervention in behalf of peace is likely to be the rtjjxt develop ment in the stubborn struggle in the Rhenlsh-Westphallan coal district. The Dally News correspondent has author ity for stating that His Majesty Is out raged by the defiant attitude of the mineowners Jn refusing to take part In a. conference- with the workmen's lead- ,rS mumbled under the auspices of the government. "William is keeping in intimate touch with all developments in the strike district and is deeply Impressed with the orderliness and restraint of the strikers, whlot Is In strong con trast with the unyielding attitude of the operators. Should the owners per sist in their demands for unconditional surrender on the part of the miners, It Is declared that the Kaiser Is pre pared to exercise his sovereign author ity and to take over the settlement of the strike himself by commanding a conference of the operators and miners In his palace at Berlin. "It was due to the initiative of Will iam, In 1S89, a few months after he had dome to the throne, that the bitter coal ' strike in that year -was settled favor ably to the miners by the establishment of the eight-hour day. It is the viola tion of that settlement, according to the miners, that has provoked the pres ent outbreak. 'Public indignation against the op erators and sympathy for the miners is growing hourly throughout the country. A letter from Cardinal Fisch er, of Cologne, sending a subscription to the miners' strike fund, has created a profound Impression. His Eminence leaves no doubt that he considers the position of the operators unreasonable and untenable. He calls for the passage of laws that will make such a conflict b the present strike impossible in the future. The political significance of the cardinal's statement is Important, because it reflects the position of the Catholic party, which is the ruling power in the Reichstag." i WRONGS OF GERMAN MINERS They Are Told in Reichstag, but Chancellor Gives No Hope. BERLIN. Jan. 20. The Ministerial seats lii ,the- Reichstag and the gallery for distinguished strangers and. the public were tilled today in the-expectation that Chancellor von Buelow would outline the policy of the Emperor and the govern ment towai-d the great coal strike taut has already partly paralyzed German in dustry. The Socialist party had Inter- j rollated the government and Otto Hue set forth the case of the miners In a three-hours' speech. Herr Hue Is a locksmith from Essen, who formerly worked for the Krupps. He said the strike had long been foreseen, because under the policy of the coal syn dicate, that close alliance of 200 proprie tors of mines, wages since 1900 had been forced downward. Herr Hue added that the practice of mine managers in rejecting cars of coal, because, as they alleged, they were mixed with foreign substances, had increased. At Koenigsgue In one month 1424 cars were disallowed, and in another mine under the same ownership 300 out of 850 cars were rejected. An inspector of the Stein mine said he had to reject 62 cars a day. At the Deutscher Kaiser mine the value of the rejected cars was $11,250. It was asserted that the proceeds of such rejectod coal were devoted to philanthro pic purposes, but the workmen had no control of the fund. The sanitary condition of the mines. Herr Hue pointed out, was more frightful than ever. The law forbidding double shifts was disregarded, so that there were 36 hours of unbroken work, except time to eat sandwiches or bread and cheese. Herr Hue concluded with an appeal to the government to interpose, but whether it intervened or not. he added, the strikers were resoluto and willing to suffer. Chancellor von Buelow. replying, said that the government had two duties. The first was that quiet and order should be maintained under all circumstances. He accepted the statement of Herr Hue that the strikers were determined themselves to preserve order, but, nevcrthless. he would say that the full power at the dis position of the state would be used If the wage war degenerated Into excesses. Es pecially it was the duty of the authorities to protect personal freedom. The right to work would bo defended from every va riety of terrorism. Chancellor von Buelow called attentions to criticisms of the government in con nection with the strike and the growing consolidation of industries, as though the government were helpless and without a policy. "We stand." the Chancellor said, "in the presence of one of the most difficult problems, which is unsolved in other civilised states Just as it is with us. I refer to the United States, where syndi cates and trusts are most highly devel oped, where a wise central government and a wise President are alrendy at work Irving to preserve the state from harm." If the strike continues to spread, "the Chancellor said, the responsibility will rest with the agitators who have driven the miners into fanaticism. Count von Buelow indicated no step that the govern ment Intended to take to end the strike. KILLED PAUL JOKES. Russian Naval Corruption No New Affair. New York Press, 'it is not generally known, but is never theless a fact." said u Naval officer, "that the rotten condition of the Russian navy was responsible for the death of John Paul Jones, the great American sea tight er. The article recently published In the Su:iday Press describing the condition of the Russian navy today would, with a few variations, serve to describe the state of the Czar's fleets in the days of Jones. "After the Revolutionary War John Paul Jones entered the Russian service as an Admiral, and served for a time in the Black Sea fleet. The Black Sea fleet was thoa in the same demoralized con dition that it Is now. and because Jones tried to straighten things out, the bureau crats procured his recall to St. Peters burg "The Empress Catherine ordefred him to Inspect the Baltic fleet. He found it, In a shocking condition. Official corruption had wasted or stolen the money appropri ated for it. The ships were, many of them, unsea worthy, and all were In a: foul condition. There was neither discipline among the sailors nor knowledge among the officers. It was like the Baltic fleet today and probably like every other Bal tic fleet that Russia ever had. Jones In sisted on making a thorough personal In spection of the shins, and by his reports as to the true condition of the fleet brought down upon himself the vengeance of the Ministry of Marine and all the high court officials of Russia. The ships had been frozen In all Winter, and foul water and all sorts of offensive refuse had been FRIXCE5 CUV FOR EQUALITY. Noble of Lnrjtc Section Job 1b Popular Demand. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 20. Prince Droutxky. Sakollnsky, Dlubinakr, Kl raslcoff and Shamansky, representing the nobility of the sovernnsent in Minsk, have petitioned Minister of the Interior Svlatopolk-Mlrsky, on behalf of the whole of the northwestern districts of Russia, for equal rights for all na tionalities and claraes In the Empire. - The Minister has replied that the question has already been decided. allowed to collect In the bilges, where the mass had frozen. "It was Spring when the Admiral made his Inspection, and the mass was begin ning to thaw, giving out foul and pesti lential stenches. Nevertheless he went Into the bilges, where there was no ar rangement for ventilation. He went thus through every ship, and when he had fin ished his Inspection his lungs were so thoroughly poisoned by the vitiated air that he was taken down with a severe ill ness. He recovered from the attack, but his lungs were permanently affected and he never was a well man again. Thouzh he lingered for nearly three years, he was dying by inches all the time, and finally his poisoned lungs gave out entirely and he dropped dead, at the age of 45, a vic tim of Russian naval mismanagement." COZTSTJLAB-SEEVICE 2JEEDS. Education Declared by Expert to Bs Prime Necessity. Jamea C. Monaghan in Boolclovens Magazine. Could I convince Congress, I would establish a school. I would have it do for the Consular service what Annapolis does for the Navy and what West Point does for the Army. In a school scientific methods can be applied in a year or two years, or even In six months, that could come to i Consul or be acquired by him, under or dlnary circumstances, only in a series of years. To obviate the difficulties that are now met with by all those seeking to reform the service, including the fond ness of Senators for these, the last plums on the tree of political patronage the candidates could be assigned, as are those of Annapolis and West Point, to the various states of the Union or to Con gressional districts. The course should embrace economics and languages particularly French, Ger man, Spanish and Oriental: law Roman, civil, canon, common, maritime and in ternational. It should also embrace com merceits history, the raw materials of commerce, their sources and distribu tion: commercial geography: the world's markets: transportation marine and overland: Insurance marine. Are and life. After graduating from the Consular school, the candidate for Consular hon ors should pass a few months In the Department of State and in a United States Custom office in a large city. Thus he would enter upon his work with the finest possible kind of equipment. Noth ing in the system should preclude the appointment of men from newspaper of flces boards of trade and chambers of commerce. Like the volunteers in Army and Navy, these men might go in on rec ognized and well-known merit. The British Consular service and those of Continental Europe are based on edu cation. Indeed, the public services of the world, now being studied by our Con suls and soon to be made the subject of a special report, are far ahead of ours In the clement of education. No man is appointed to a foreign customs office. or into a foreign Consular service, wiio has not had an education especially adapted to the line of life to be fol lowed. Almost all European countries have Consular schools. Indeed, Germany has a school in which her expert apprais ers and higher customs officials give sev eral hours a day in courses calculated to Instruct offlclalB and to encourage expert research. What the "Theater Trust" Really Is. Charles Frohman in Harper's Weekly. There has been formed in this country a combination for the sole, purpose of representing theaters and of facilitating what is known as the "booking" of at tractions for these theaters. This com bination has nothing to do with the pro duction of plays, or the engagement of actors, or the running of theaters. The members of this combination work sep arately, except so far as the "booking" of theaters under their control is con cerned. They compete for plays, for act ors and for theatrical work. They have no other interests in common and their work is absolutely Independent. It is ob vious that If a "combination" existed It could not last. For the purpose stated the arrangement was made for five years: It was renewed for rive years more, and is now In Its seventh year. This Indi cates the satisfaction which the plan has given. It may continue and it may not of that I cannot say. There is no financial connection between these managers in the matter of produc tions for the stage. They do not co-operate in engaging actors; they do not co operate In securing dramatists nor in producing plays.. Their work Is separate and distinct. One does not know what the other is doing or intends to do. Each one competes with the other to secure plays. stars and attractions generally. What ever the result of the productions, these managers stand or fall by their own work. Their only connection Is In handling the various "bookings throughout the coun try vo that the work will be done ia an orderly and skillful manner. In all else they are business rivals. The Salaries of Government Officers. Harper's Weekly. Senator Stewart, of Nevada, affection ately known as the Congressional Santa Claus. has Introduced a bill to raise the salaries of some of the officers of Gov ernment. He Is for paying the President $100,000 a year: the Vice-President. $30,000: the Speaker. $20,000; and all the Senators and Representatives $10.00) apiece. The bill has not been much discussed yet. either in or out of Congress, but It de serves to be seriously taken up and wisely dealt with. The President gets along without known embarrassment on his present stipend, but we think the pro posal to double his salary would be pop ular, though the end sought might per haps be better realized by providing that all Presidents shall have life pensions of $10,000, The argument for increasing the Viee-PreMdent's salary Is that the dignity and attractiveness of the office need to be Increased. The Speakership Is one of the great offices of our Government, and its salary should get within sight of Its importance. Another great office is that of Justice of the Supreme Court. iuo Denver & Rio Granas scenery 1 even more beautiful In Winter than Sum mer. Travel East via that Un and a pea a day lq Salt Lake City.

UNIVERSITY GROWING FAST. Present Accommodations Are Quite Badly Stretched. SALEM. Or., Jan. 20. (Special.) The biennial report of the Board of Regents and the annual report of the president of the State University show that the en rollment of the present year, as compared with the two previous years. Is a gain of 22 per cent, and if this present gain con tinues during the next two years, the ac commodations both of room and of the in structional force provided for at present! will be entirely Inefficient. The largest gains have been made in the departments of law. medicine and en gineering. The large gain Is more re markable from the fact that the academic department has been eliminated from the school at Eugene and that the medical course has -been lengthened from three to four years.

GO IT ALONE OR STAY OUT NEW MEXICO SPEAKS HER MIND ON JOINT STATEHOOD. . Protest Against Union With Arizona Presented to Senate Fulton De fends American Sealers. WASHINGTON', Jan. 20. The state hood bill and the fur seal Indemnity bill again divided the attention of the Senate today and both went over without action. Fulton spoke in support of the indemnity bill, and McCreary and Bate in opposi tion to the statehood measure. Immediately after the Senato was called to order President Pro Tern Frye laid before It a telegram from the Gover nor of New Mexico, transmitting a me morial adopted by the Legislature of that territory, protesting against the union of New Mexico and Arizona in one state, and urging 'the admission of New Mexico as a state according to present boun daries. One of the reasons urged for admission was the fact that New Mexico supplied more than half of the members of the regiment of Rough Riders, com manded during the Spanish War by Colo nel Theodore Roosevelt. The bill providing for the compensation of the owners of American vessels en gaged in pelagic sealing in Bering Sea was then taken up. and Fulton replied to the speech made yesterday by Dolliver In opposition to the bill. He said the only question at issue Is whether American citizens should be discriminated against. The claimants of all other . nationalities had received compensation for los3es. and he expressed the opinion that the United States should be as liberal to Its own people. Foraker and Gorman having declined to act as tellers in the canvass of the Presidential vote. President Pro Tem Frye announced the selection in their stead of Burrows and Bailey. Without disposing of the fur seal bill the Senate resumed consideration of the statehood bill, and McCreary spoke on that measure. He announced his advo cacy of separate statehood for the terri tories of Arizona. New Mexico and Okla homa as they are now constituted. Commenting on the memorial of the New Mexico Legislature, he said it appeared that the people of that territory were about as unanimous in their opposition as were the people of Arizona. "Hence," he said, "the pending bill must be con sldered in the light of a force bill, dis tasteful alike to all in both territories. Bate opposed in vigorous language the consolidation plan. Before he had con cluded, the Senate went into executive session and adjourned. ARMY BILL IS PASSED. House Again Amends Provision Re garding Retired Officers. WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. The House to day passed the Army appropriation bill after voting by a large majority to incor porate in it aa amendment providing that hereafter retired Army offers assigned to the militia of the several states shall not receive any pay or alliwunse addi tional to their pay as retired officers. where such nay and allowances exceed those of a Major. The Indian approprl atlon bill was considered for the remain der of the day. but was not concluded when the house adjourned until tomor row. Hull (Rep., Ia.), in charge of the Army bill, called attention to an apparent am blgulty in the amendment regarding re tired Army officers assigned to militia reg iments, and offered a substitute providing that hereafter no retired officer above the grade of Major shall, when assigned to an active duly, receive any .pay or allow ance additional to his pay as a retired officer, so as to make his total pay and allowances exceed those of a Major in the active list. Williams (Dem.) demanded the yeas and nays on the substitute amendment and the roll was called. While the vote was being recorded. it became known that William J. Bryan was In the House lobby. Immediately the former member of the House and Presl dential candidate was surrounded by s number of friends, with whom he ex changed hearty greetings. The Speaker announced that the Hull amendment had carried 201 to 50. The bill then was passed. The Indian appropriation bill was then taken up In committee. After an agree ment had been reached to limit general debate to two hours, Sherman explained the provisions of the bill. Lacey (Ia.) predicted that the day was not far distant when there would be no "Indian problem," because the aborigines were getting farther and farther away from the system of Socialism and Com munism. The appropriation for the support of the Tankton. SIsseton. Crow, Creek arid Lower Brule agencies, in South Dakota, was strenuously opposed by Zenor (Ind.). on the ground that, as the Indians were voters, the agencies were being main tained in the interest of politics. The Indian bill was read for amend ment. An amendment was agreed to pro viding for the removal of restrictions on the alienation of lands of allottees of any members of the five civilized tribes of In dlans who do not appear on the rolls as full bloods, except as to miners and home steaders. The provision relating to the opening to location, development and operation mineral lands within Indian reserves was stricken out on a point of order. The bill was.half completed when it was laid aside. The Speaker appointed as tellers of the Dresent House to count the electoral vote Gaines (W. Va.) and Riusell (Tex.), after which the House adjourned. WILL BE LAST TO HOLD OFFICE Governor Brodie Appointed to Posi tion in Pension Bureau. WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. The Pres ident today sent to the Senate the nomination of Alex O. Brodie. of Ari zona, to be assistant chief of the Rec ord nnd Pension Office, with rank of Major. Mr. Brodie Is now Governor of Arizona. His term as Governor does not exuire until July 1, 190G. There Is an interesting story behind the nomination of Governor Brodie. to be As sistant Chief of the Record and Pension office. Major Edward S. Fowler, of New York, was appointed to that office last August, and hl3 nomination has been be fore the Senate Tor several weeks without final action. It has been the intention of the President to appoint Governor Bro die to the office next May. when it would become vacant by the promotion of the Incumbent to the grade of Lieutenant Colonel by the retirement of Lieutenant Colonel Tweedale. of the military secre tary's department. That plan has been abandoned, however, because of a provision in the Army ap propriation bill now before the House to the effect that the office of assistant chief of the record and pension office shall be abolished with the next vacancy. In or der, therefore, to provide for Governor Brodie In that office It became necessary' for the President to withdraw the nomi nation of Major Fowler and substitute that of Mr. Brodie.' The latter Is a per sonal friend ot the President, and served with him in the Rough Rider Regiment during the Spanish War. Yellow Fever on the Isthmus. WASHINGTON. Jan. .2).

(T the Editor.) 1 read lately that there in talk of havlns the game laws chanced so that tb number of same birds killed by one per son In one day shall be reduced In number to prevent the extinction of tho birds. Tb writer thinks It Is a wise move and should be extended .to Include -trout alio. I have planted 43.000 small trout In th waters of Trout LaV.e and vicinity near Mount Adams In the last three season?. and am anxious for the State of Washington to pass a law that a man shall be fined If h catches more than oO trout In one day. II Bshtns Roes on as It has for the 20 year In which I have been familiar with Trout Lake flshins the trout will be a thing of th past. The fry I planted were procured from the general Government and cannot be ob tained to plant In the same waters a sec ond time. If Oregon and Washington would establish a trout hatchery for free deliver of fry every year to be planted In all lak and streams suitable for trout life. It would be the best thlnjc for the money spent that could be done to please the masses. CHARLES WATERS. Friend What! You alive? "Why. all jour friends had been mournlns you as dead.
