LINEVITCH MAY GET IT Czar's Distinguished Relative Hints That Job Is Suitable Only for a Military Man Czarevitch's Gloomy Birthday. iT. PETERSBURG. Aug. 13. Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholalevitch, the Asso ciated Press is Informed by "a member of his entourage, has declined to accept the post of commander-in-chief of all the troops of the Empire, "where martial law exists," which was tendered to him Aug ust 4. Whether this was decided before or after the attempt on the life of the Grand Puke at Krasnoye-Selo on August 10 is not known, but the ostensible rea son is that Grand Duke Nicholas believes such a post should not be given to a grand duke, but merely a military man. He advocates the appointment of General Unevitch, formerly commander-in-chief of the Manchurlran army, but the Em peror has not dually decided the matter. Czarevitch's Gloomy Birthday. Today the second birthday of the Czare vitch was observed with the usual display of flags and illuminations, but there was no enthusiasm In the celebration. In fact, few persons seemed even to know what the occasion of the decorations was. The day was quiet in the capital. The activity of the Terrorists in the provinces included, beside the usual har vest of assassinations in Warsaw, 'an at tempt on the life of General Karateieff, chief of the gendarmerie of Samara prov ince, and the wounding of Captain of Po lice Ivanoff, of IJbau, by a youth who fired thrice at him on the street. The assailant of General Karatelleff mounted the tair.s of the General's chan cellory and threw a bomb at random. The missile failed to explode and the miscre ant escaped in spite of hot pursuit. Warsaw's Governor Removed. General Strijoff, acting Governor-General of Warsaw City and province, has been relieved of his office and will be suc ceeded by General von Tarsky. It is con jectured that the change is due to Gen eral Strljoft's order with reference to the responsibility of towns which General Skallon, before his transfer to Helsingfors as Governor-General of Finland, was obliged to cancel.

DETECTIVE IS HELD UP H. Ii. Pye Robbed by Masked High wayman at Woodstock. A private detective and a highwayman, his face covered with a white handker chief which prevented breathing fluently, had it -out on the sandiots at Woodstock last night, and the highwayman won by dextrous ability with a revolver. The de tective, H. L. Pye, who but lately Joined the ranks of private sleuths, lost his newly acquired star, J7 in silver and his watch. The timepiece was later returned after the works had been examined by the masked man. After spending a day of hard work, in which he traveled from Vancouver, Wash., to Portland and to Woodstock on detective business, Pye was on his way home when he met the highwayman. The victim of the hold-up neglected to carry his revolver, or the battle might have had a different ending. Pye said last night that his weapon would be always with him in the future. The highwayman met Pye with the old md stage-worn expression, "Hands up!" Pye refused. The highwayman Insisted, first using argument and later force. He placed his revolver against Pye's ribs and Jammed the barrel so hard that Pye winced. As the detective raised his arms he attempted to grab the highwayman's revolver and take it from him. A hand-to-hand scuffle followed, in which Pye went down. The wihte mask bothered the highway man's nasal exercise, but he persisted un til he had conquered Pye. and made him stand up with his back turned. Grasping the detective by an upraised arm, he placed the muzzle of his revolver against his back and compelled him to submit to being searched. The detective did not re monstrate when his money was taken, but he kicked when the robber attempted to steal his watch. After examining the timepiece the masked man returned it with the icy remark that "the tin thing Is no good, anyway." A third dispute followed when the man behind the gun attempted to take a gold band ring from the detective's fingeri The ring would not leave the finger readily, so Pye was allowed to keep it. Putting the detective's star and the money in his pocket, the persistent hold up ordered Pye to move on. Pye started to run. but was stopped at a command and a threatening movement of the pis tol, and was told to slow up. as there was no hurry. Pye complied until he thought he was out of range, then hot-footed for his home. On his way he stopped long enough to notify residents of Woodstock that he had been held up. With a friend, Pye went to police headquarters and made a report of the affair to Captain Bruin. MURDERED IN GOLD BLOOD HOLD-IP MEN" KILL SAN FRAN CISCO CITIZEN.

ASKS FOR MODIFICATION Matter Comes Before Railway Com mission at Olympia for Rehear ing This Week No Evidence to Justify Change. OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 12. (Special.) The Northern Pacific Railway Company has filed with the Railroad Commission formal objection to the order of the Com mission relating to Joint wheat rates, to gether with a brief in favor of a modifi cation of the order. In this brief- it is argued that no evi dence was introduced at the recent hear ing to show that any shipper would be prejudiced by there being no Joint rate from or between points on the line of the Northern Pacific Railway Company or from points on the line of the Washing ton & Columbia River Railway Company, with which it has a traffic agreement, and an established Joint rate, to any point on the Northern Pacific. No Injustice Being Done. ' It is argued that the circumstances are such that no injustice could possibly fol low the failure of any other railway to make a Joint rate between the same points. It is insisted that the Commission should not order the establishment of a Joint rate from either Oakesdale, Garfield, Pullman, Spokane, Connell, Walla Walla, Dayton, Waitsburg. Hunt's Junction and Wallula, and the Puget Sound terminals of Tacoma, Seattle, Everett and Belllng ham. because the Northern Pacific and the Washington & Columbia are now car rying freight between the points named at the rate fixed by the Commission. No Notice Given Company. The Northern Pacific also objects to the Bellingham terminal rate being directed against it, on the ground that the com pany was not included in the citation is sued by the Commission in the Belling ham terminal rate complaint. Formal application is made for a modi fication of the order of the Commission in these matters, and it is probable the Northern Pacific attorneys will be gjven an opportunity to present further argu ments to the Commission at Olympia dur ing the coming week. CAN BRYAN WIN AT ALL? (Continued From Page 1.) get In the North and East. How can he get them? - Can He Hold Old Sliver States. Out of the entire list of Western states carried by Bryan in 1S96, Montana, Colo rado and Nevada are probably the only ones which Bryan could possibly capture. Since Nebraska, his home state, recov ered from the silver craze, it has become imbued with such rock-ribbed Republican ideas that Bryan himself could not. un less by a miracle, secure its few electoral votes. He might get Colorado, unless Roosevelt was running against him, and he might capture Montana and Nevada. Money plays a conspicuous part In the politics of these three states, and this factor has been largely responsible for Democratic success in late years in all three. Bat sentiment against corruption has been aroused and these three states are preparing to send Republicans to the United States Senate in place of wealthy Democrats, now1 considered defeated. If Bryan captured any of these states, it would be because of his old silver views. A considerable element in the Bryan ranks in these states still has faith in 16 to 1, and would again follow him if he took up the old battle-scarred banner for a third time. Put Bryan on a tariff platform or an anti-trust platform with free silver left out, and the chances are he could not even carry Colora'do, Montana and Nevada. On the other hand, the. free silver craze was burled so deep 'in the other" seven states that Bryan himself could not revive it to such an extent as to gather a majority of the votes. There has been an enormous in flux of new people into all of these states since Bryan last held the boards, and. Judging by the increased Republican ma jorities,' the new blood is not of that faith that would rally round Bryan and his silver banner. These being the facts on which the Eastern papers predict Bryan's defeat. If nominated, it seems reasonable to ac cept their Judgment as sound. Bryan says he still believes in free silver; his name will always be associated with that issue, and, if nominated, he would awaken that same distrust that defeated him in two memorable campaigns. If McKinley could overwhelm Bryan in 1896 and 1900, Roosevelt or Taft or Can non or even Fairbanks ought to be able to defeat hlmr In 1908, for Bryan seems to advocate nothing that will serve to re store confidence among the gold Demo crats, but on the contrary advocates that which will forever keep them out of the party ranks. Republican Fears Quieted. , When the Bryan boom was revived. . it was generally believed that the party idol had been convinced of the folly of his old notions and that he would repudiate the silver issue and run on latter-day ques tions that have arisen since he last stood in the limelight. Recognizing the personal popularity of the man, his magnetism and wonderful qualities as a leader, the Re publicans became alarmed, fearing that the new Bryan, on new Issues, would win back those Democrats who deserted their party in 1S96,' and, by taking up the cause of the "common people," would make in roads into the Republican ranks. They feared the "new Bryan" and began to look about for "a man to beat Bryan." Then it was that the press generally ex pressed the opinion that Bryan would come pretty near sweeping the country, and that fear did more than anything else to revive the talk of a third term for Roosevelt. But leaders and papers that expressed concern when the Bryan boom first took hold, finding that they are confronted by the same old Bryan and the same old ideas, look forward with less concern to 1908. It seems to bs the prevailing belief today that any one of the available Re publican candidates could win out over Bryan, unless Bryan, upon his return to this country, once more buries the free silver corpse and pledges himself to let it rest forever in its grave. If he should do that, there would be another revival of third-term talk and more concern on the part of Republican leaders. But only un der those circumstances will Bryan be considered a dangerous opponent.

A good crop this season would have placed Washington County's hop harvest at nearly 9000 bales, there being quite a number of new yards all over the county. There is at least 10 per cent more acre age than last year, notwithstanding many old yards have been plowed up. Many hopgrowers here have contracted at prices ranging from 8 to 11 cents, although no contracts have been filed since hops took on the heavy upward movement.

ESTER MITCHELL BETTER GIRL SHOWS SIGNS OF DECIDED IMPROVEMENT. Typhoid Diagnosis May Have Been Mistaken Mrs. Creffleld Nurses Accomplice In Murder. SEATTLE, Wash.. Aug. 12. (Special.) Esther Mitchell will recover from her ill ness within a short time, unless new complications arise. This is the opinion of Dr. Snyder, the jail physician, who left the girl's bedside at 8:20 o'clock this eve ning. During the day Miss Mitchell showed unmistakable signe of , Improve ment, and there is a fair possibility that she will be able to get around her cell as usual this week. But that all depends upon the turn her disease takes. The jail authorities have permitted the female prisoners in the women's ward to attend Esther. Mrs. Creffleld has been admitted to the cell to minister to the girl, and Dr. Snyder sarj-s he regards her visits as beneficial. Though a diagnosis, made last night. Indicated typhoid fever, the turn of the case today leads Dr. Snyder to believe the case is less serious. The physician said' tonight that her condition has im proved greatly and her temperature is nearly normal. She was up for a few moments, but had to go back to bed, and the constant attention of female pris oners as nurses is regarded as advisable. If the girl's health improves she will go to trial next month for the murder of her brother. If not, a later date may be set. But Dr. Snyder was far more hopeful tonight than he has been.

He is now connected with the Forepaugh & Sells Bros.' circus as con tract man, and will remain here until the show arrives, early next Sunday morning. Mr. Rial was manager of the first troupe of theatrical players who ever went over the circuit of the towns after the completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad from St. Paul to Portland. Years ago, when Mr. Rial first came to Portland, there were no railroads, and the theatrical people were compelled to come by boat or stagecoach. In those days the companies put up at Louis Ep pinger's place down on First street. The playhouse was the New Market Theater. At one time Mr. Rial was manager of the Baldwin Theater in San Francisco. This building was erected by "Lucky" Baldwin, the great racehorse man, who Is now 'thought to be fatally 111 In the East. Later Mr. Rial was in charge of the old California Theater. Mr. Rial has traveled in nearly all parts of the civilized world. Only recently he entered the circus business. He has made three trips to Australia, several to Africa and all the other countries where theatri cal people may make a living. One of the notables whom Mr. Rial brought to Port land was Madame Modjeska, the great Polish actress, who toured this country.

Yesterday the Forepaugh & Sells Bros.' circus made one of the longest Jumps on record In the show business. The circus left Spokane as soon as possible after the Saturday night performance and trav eled all day yesterday, until their desti nation. Bellingham, was reached. The) distance is something more than 450 miles. Short Jumps are usually made by the big show companies, but the trip from Spo kane to Bellingham could not be avoided. During the Journey yesterday it Was) necessary to unload and feed the animals at two different points. This not only required time but a great deal of work on the part of the management. One of. the stops was at Cascade tunnel on the Great Northern Railroad. This spot is at the summit of the mountains, and was selected because of the fact that there la plenty of open ground for the temporary camp and an abundance of good water for the animals. One of the stops was made at 10 o'clock yesterday ftiornlng and the other during the afternoon. For the welfare of the animals, and that they may be fed properly. It is necessary to make stops when long trips are being made. Jumps of 450 miles are exceedingly rare, however, with the big circuses. The Forepaugh fc Sells Bros." shoir Is now owned by Rlngllng Bros. Since the death of James A. Bailey last Spring they have purchased the entire properties. Before Mr. Bailey's death he owned part of the show and the Ringllngs the other half. The Forepaugh show opened this year at Columbus, Ohio, on April" 22. One of the features this year is a scene called "Fighting the Flames." On April 17, the day before the San Francisco earth quake, Mr. Rial went back into the his tories of the world In the libraries of Co- ! lumbus and wrote an article concerning all the great fires which had taken place. A lengthy article of 4000 or 6000 words was prepared, covering the destruction of Rome by Nero, the burning of Moscow by the Russians, disastrous fires in London, New York, the Chicago conflagration and! all others of any Importance. This story was for use In connection with advertis ing Forepaugh's "Fighting the Fire' scene. Mr. Rial had given his article to one of the editors of a Columbus newspaper early on the morning of April 18. Within a short time the first news was received: that an earthquake had shaken San Francisco and that the entire city was on fire. In less than half an hour the enterprising Columbus paper had an ex tra on the street covering several pages) with a complete story of all the great fires which had been recorded since the history of the world began. People marveled at the wonderful en terprise shown by the editors and won dered how they had accomplished tha feat. But It was an accident and due to the enterprising spirit of the circus man.
