THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 17, 1906. ILL FORCE ISSUE WITH HIS PEOPLE Czar Will Order Recess of Parliament, Which Will Refuse to Move. NICHOLAS GOING YACHTING Russian Nation Will Have Choice inent Revolution Gains Among Soldiers. BY THE COUNTESS OP BLANK SHI RE. (Special Gable to the Central News anl Oregont&n.) LONDON, June 16. Returning par ties from Madrid, who went there to see that magnificent pageant, the Span ish royal wedding, have brought some really delightful stories back with them about the young King and his younger bride. The most delicious of them was told by a lady-in-waiting in a Mayfair boudoir the other day and is already the story of all the ladies' clubs. It happened on the wedding day. The bride and groom had been made one and were apparently ns live ly as crickets after the many gorgeous ceremonies that had tired everybody else out. The great ball and reception had begun at the palace. Alfonso and Victoria had been seated on the throne and had received the homage of gran dees for an hour. The royal quadrille was over. General dancing and prom enading was going on. The Queen-Mother stood in a rather large group, which included the Prince and Princess of Wales, other foreign royalties and some of their lords and ladles-ln-waitlng. They were talking animatedly, when suddenly the Queen Mother stopped and looked about her. She missed their Majesties, the bride and the' bridegroom. She Is a great stickler for etiquette, is the Queen Mother. She descried one of King Al fonso's personal aides-de-camp and beckoned, him to her. On Still Hunt for King. He is a particularly youthful officer, a playfellow of the King, and only re cently appointed. The Queen-Mother told him to find the King at once and demand his presence. The youth bowed and departed. They do things early in Spain, for it was then just 8 o'clock at night. In ten minutes te youthful aide-de-camp returned. He was out of breath and in a very excited state. He interrupted the Queen-Mother's con versation and blurted out: "Oh, Your Majesty, I cannot deliver your message. Their Majesties have gone to bed, the bedroom doors are locked and chamberlains guard the ante-rooms. They would not " But the Queen-Mother stopped him and waved him away. The royal circle was dumfounded and for the moment dis concerted. Nobody dared laugh, but laughter bubbled over their facesand their eyes sparkled with mirth. The Queen-Mother immediately broke up the circle, but not before she had whis pered an epigram in the ear of the Princess of Wales, which was loud enough to be caught by others. "The poor children," she said. "They are almost too 'blentot. Where English Falls Short. She spoke, of course, in the universal diplomatic language, French, and I find it very hard to "do" the word "blentot" properly Into English. But what astonished everybody who knew was when two hours later the young King and his blushing bride made their reappearance and joyfully led the way to the grand banquet. Later in the night, without a wink and with inno- cet faces, they allowed themselves to be led in state processional to the bridal chamber. First went the Queen, who was handed over to her ladies-ln-t waiting, her maids of honor and her ladles of the bedchamber. Then, went the King, .In charge of his retinue of lords and-chamberlains of. the , cham ber. It was a very late hour when with .the. state blessing, the youthful couple were officially left alone to their slumbers. a ' It has come out slice the wedding that the King or Spain really proposed : first to another English Princess. At that time I stated that the Princess Patricia of Connaught would probably be the next Queen of Spain. Princess "Pat," as she is popularly . called, was willing to be come a Queen, but refused to change her religion. So Alfonso's proposal was re jected. It is few women who can boast of refusing a King. Airs. C. P. Huntington's Ball. The American hostesses are saving up their entertainments for Mrs. Longworth and we will from now on have almost a continuous performance of American din ners, concerts and balls. The ball given by Mrs. C. P. Huntington in the beautiful Clock House, on the Thames embank ment at Chelsea, will go down in history as the most gorgeous floral display of the season. The cost for flowers alone Is, I understand, over $30,000. With Whiteaw Reld Ambassador to the Court of St. James, it was rather, expected that the Mills family would .be . represent ed by others here this season. The Ogden Mills have Just arrived and have leased that exquisite house, 30 Curson street. from Mrs. Adair. Mrs. Adair will be quite lost to the circle of American host esses, for she intends to spend the rest of the Summer at the residence she pur chased last year at Kngloncld Green, and ' which she has named Adair House. SAYS POPE HAS CANCER. Noted Italian Savant Predicts Ills Death In Two Years. ROME, June 16. There has been many alarming reports and all sorts of con tradictions regarding the Pope's health of late. Dr. Lapponl, the Papal physi cian, has given out several interviews, in eluding one of special interest, to "La Stampa" of Turin. "The Pope," he said, "has had, so they tell me, gout for these six years. He has had only two attacks, however, since he sat in the Papal chair and since I have had the honor of attending hlr When urged to explain the exact malady, Dr. Lapponl refused, but he let drop the significant remark, "La malattia pero si presento In modo che nessuno ma! credette che fosse gotta" (The malady, however, presents itself In such a man ner that nobody would ever dream It was gout"). Other physicians asked to dissect this remarak refused to do so, pleading professional etiquette. ' One noted' savant, whose name Is not made public, however, said that in an innner circle of the medical fraternity it is known that the Fope is suffering from cancer of the stomach and that at a special- consultation of experts held two weeks ago it was declared that his malady had reached such a state that it was incurable. In other words, a death sentence, inside of two years was pronounced. SVLTA'S WORD IS BROKEN American Ships Alone Can Secure Rights of Missions. BOSTON. June IS. Conditions in Turkey are described as worse than ever in ' a' letter just received at the Christian Endeavor headquarters Jn this city from Rev. Francis E. Clark, D. D., president of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, written after a stay of nine days in Turkey. Dr. Clark writes: 'Our own missions and schols are in a more perilous condition than ever, and since our American fleet was with drawn from Smyrna, with only the verbal assurances of the Porte that our schools and churches would have as many privileges as those of other na tions, these assurances have been utter ly repudiated and there seems no like lihood of Americans getting their rights until another fleet visits Turk ish waters." Why Kaiser Visits Haakon. BERLIN. June 16. The court notes with surprise Emperor William's ap proaching visit to King Haakon, or Norway, as it is customary for a new sovereign to make the first visit. The probable reason for the step to be tak en Is that the Emperor desires to set at rest the stories that he was opposed to King Haakon's election and wanted a grandson of King Oscar to become King of Norway.

Black Hundreds, as well as revolution ists, are said to be mustering their forces for an impending conflict at Moscow. Their value to the legions of reaction, if it comes to an actual conflict, is doubtful, however, as the dreaded Black Hundreds In the December revolt, though bluster ing and combative before that event. showed the white feather and took very little part in the actual fighting. MASSACRES BECOME GENERAL Continue at Bialystok and Extend to Other Cities. WARSAW, June 16. The rioting is said to have extended to Lapy Station, on the St. Petersburg Railroad, and to Staroseic Station, of the Southwestern Railroad. At both places the Jewish shops were looted and Jews were murdered or beaten. A mob devastated the Jewish shops in the town of Chernayawiez, the first station out of Bialystok on the line to Grodno. In Warsaw two police sergeants were shot and killed and another po lice was wounded by terrorists, and a policeman who pursued the assassins was shot and killed by a passing women. Martial law has been declared and troops are being rushed to the scene, but the hunting down of unfortunate Jews continued unabated yesterday afternoon and night, accompanied by indescribable horrors. The commission dispatched to Bialystok by Parliament can be relied upon to make a pitiless exposure to the country of any dereliction of the authori ties. The Jews at Kishineff are in a state of panic, in view of reports that a Jewish massacre is threatened. They hastily closed and barricaded all their houses and stores at noon today, and the town is now patroled by cavalry, while pickets of In fantry are stationed at strategic points. Messages from Elizabethgrad and Krem- entchug report that anti-Jewish excesses are also apprehended there. The Governor of that city says there Is no hope of stopping the butchery of Jews for two or three days. Mobs are invad ing the trains passing through Bialystok and are dragging out and killing passen gers. The Jews who escaped are wandering. starving, in the fields or woods. GOVERNOR GOES TO , RESCUE Takes Provisions to feed Fugitives Burned Out of Homes. GRODNO, Russia, June 16. Accordnig to messages received here late today the firing continues at Bialystok. The gov ernor of Grodno and the local rabbi left here this afternoon for Bialystok with provisions for the destitute. The garri son is in possession of the city, which is reported on fire. Further fires are con tinually breaking out The situation Is frightful. A few Jews, through high pay ments have been allowed to escape. Later messages from Bialystok say that none of the clergy In the procession June 14 were injured by the explosion of the bomb thrown from the house in Alex andre street. Six Jewish travelers were murdered at the Bialystok railroad sta tion yesterday. JEWS FIRING FROM AMBUSH Dead at Bialystok Number 100 Revolutionists Kill Troops. BIALYSTOK, Via Warsaw, June 16.

HAVE CANVASSED HOUSE Federation's Council Will Consider Action on Letters of Jlembers Who Refuse to Support Labor Legislation. WASHINGTON, June 16. Special.) Dolitical leaders in Washington believe that by their attempt to influence Congres sional elections it will be possible to get a straight line" on the power of the labor chiefs to influence votes. Within a few days there will be a meeting In this city of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, at which plans are to be laid for the defeat of those mem- POLITICAL POWER FATHER DESMARAIS OBTAINED APOSTOLIC BENEDICTION FOR HIS OREGON i FRIENDS ROME. Italy. May 30. (To the Editor.) It is a great pleasure for me, through the columns of your esteemed Journal, to make known to all my friends. Catholic and non-Catholic, in Oregon, that in a farewell private audi ence granted me today by His Holiness the Pope I obtained a special apostolic benediction for their Intentions. In the letter presented to me by the Holy Father, the second article reads as follows: "Facultatem lmpertlendi Bene dlctionem Apostolicam, nomine eanctltatls meae, omnibus parentlbus et amlcls tuis, necnon fidelibus omnium missionum in qulbus, dum in Oregonlo vegeret, adlaboravlt." The Pope was deeply Interested in the report which I gave him of. the missionary work In the State of Oregon. Last Sunday I attended the cere mony of the beatification of the Carmelite martyrs of Compelgne, in France. The Pope, seated in the sede gestatorla, was borne through the vast multi tude which had gathered to witness the ceremony in St. Peter's.. There were fully 40.000 persons in St. Peter's, and yet when the Pope appeared there was such an absolute decorum observed that one felt the more deeply impressed with the majesty of that great edifice. Everybody wanted to vent his fellngs of joy and exclaim' "Viva 11 Papa," but such demonstrations in St. Peter's are forbidden by Plus X. The procession was led by hundreds of priests vested with cassock and surplice, monsignores and bishops, fol lowed by 24 cardinals In their princely robes, and finally the Pope, with his white cassock and red stole, blessing the tens of thousands as they bowed their heads in profound veneration. This was a sight long to be remem beredbut the deepest impression seemed to be made on the Pope himself. His features were full of love and sympathy, and it is said by those who stood near by that he shed tears on this solemn occasion. There were IS Carmelite Sisters beatified for having been executed propter religlonem Christl by the leaders of the French Revolution in 1794. I leave Rome next Monday, "enchante de mon voyage." Of all cities In the world, past or present, there is no other city which can compare in magnificence and from a viewpoint of artistic work with the Rome of the Caesars and Popes. I have spent two months in Rome, and I have seen all the great churches and the ruins of the palaces of old, and I think among them all the grandest edifices ever undertaken and completed by the hand of man are the Villa Adrlana (Palace of Emperor Adrian) and the Basilica of St, Peter's. An revolr. L. P. DESMARAIS. bers of Congress who are charged with having disregarded the legislative de mands of the workingman. Representa tives In Congress know perfectly well who has been marked for political anni hilation, and with other conditions nor mal it will be possible to tell from the majority in the "marked ones' " districts Just how much influence labor men have when they issue orders to vote as laoor unions rather than In accordance with the views of National politics. Angry at Cannon's Snub. Samuel Gompers and many other leaders have been angry all Winter, and their sneer has not cooled. They threatened Speaker Cannon early in the year with the displeasure of every unionist it ne aia noi see to it that certain labor bills were passed. Mr. Cannon told Mr. Gompers and his associates that the interests o the whole country must be consulted, and thai class legislation, even for labor, must be well considered before action can be taken. Ever since that demonstration the work Ingmen leaders have been attempting to Influence legislation, not only by voicing their views at committee hearings, but by addressing personal communications to in dividual members of Congress, demand ing that they make plain statements of their attitude toward organized labor. Some of these letters, it is said, virtually threatened defeat at the polls unless the members addressed should show by their votes that they were friendly to the cause of the unions. Some of the communica tions sent to the Congressmen asked point blank the question: "What Is your attitude toward organized labor?" Use Letters In Campaign. Most of the letters were answered, and at the meeting next week Mr. Gompers will show these answers to the executive council and ask them to decide whether they shall be made public at once or held until a more opportune time later in the campaign. It is ssid that the answers re turned by some members are spicy read ing. Those which are not to the liking of the labor unionists undoubtedly will be used to defeat the writers. Fight for Eight-Hour Bill. At present the influence of the leaders of labor is being exerted to secure the passage of the eight-hour bill. The meas ure provides that on all Government eon tracts eight hours shall be the limit of a day's work. There is a law in force that this shall be the length of the working day of men employed directly by the United States, but the new legislation will extend the law to men who make con tracts with the United States. This bill was in the hands of the committee on la bor for months. Finally it was reported favorably to the House, but it stands vir tually no chance of passage at this ses sion. It never would have been reported favorably If some members of the com mittee believed to be opposed to it had been present when the report was voted. GREAT PARTY'S 50TH YEAR.

Judge. Sanborn de livered an oral opinion in the United States Circuit Court this afternoon, di recting that the decree asked for by the United States against the General Paper Company et aL be filed. The form of the decree had been under discussion by Judge Sanborn during the day. A part of the decree to which the paper companies objected was that preventing defendants acting as selling agents for their constitu ent companies. .This was waived as not affecting the General Paper Company, which was already undergoing dissolution pursuant to the orders of the court. The main stand of the defendants, how ever, was made on a paragraph of the decree prohibiting the defendant compa nies from agreeing or contracting among themselves to set a price for paper. The defendants claimed that the Government can only Issue injunctions restraining companies from continuing acts alleged in the complaint, while this paragraph related entirely to the future, and was not connected- with the testimony con cerning past facts. FREE LOVE IN CHICAGO "Home of Legalized Mormonlsm," Declares Divorce Court Judge. CHICAGO, June 16. "Hail, Chicago! City of free love and legalized Mormon ism!" Judge Gibbons, who made his an nual report today to the Supreme Court, has made the above startling statement. He says, among other things, that Chi cago is the Mecca of all the mismated members of the human family seeking solace in free love, and that the law of divorce prevailing and enforced practical ly establishes legalized Mormonlsm. Statistics are given to show that the divorce mania has reached alarming pro portions in this city.

Depew and Reginald De 'Koven. the celebrated composer, are among the guests at "Professor" Billy Muldoon's farm at White Plains. Both men are undergoing severe courses in physical training. Depew is- leading the simple life. He was made to understand at the outset that he was no better in the sight of the big erstwhile wrestler and present renovator of worn-out bod ies than anybody else. A valet and a handy man were told to hasten away. "But he can't undress himself," pro tested the valet. "Well, we can teach him to "do that, too," placidly retorted Muldoon. So the Senator has been but toning his own collars and lacing his shoes without assistance. Since the Senator went to White Plains Muldoon has seen him to bed at S o'clock and routed him out at 6. He has put him Girlhood, Womanhood, Motherhood. Th first lesson that the young girl has of womanhood is usually a painful one. She learns to know what head ache means, and backache, and some times is sadly borne down by this new experience of life.

A mother's love. A mother's love is so divine that the roughest man cannot help but appre ciate it as the crown f womanhood. However, motherhood is often looked forward to with feelings of great dread by most women. At such times a woman is nervous, dyspeptic, irritable, and she is in need of a uterine tonic and nervine, a strength builder to tit her for the ordeal. No matter how healthy or strong a woman may be she cannot but be benefited by taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to prepare for the event. It makes childbirth easy and often almost painless.
