THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND. JULY. 22,. IV06. CAY PRESS AGENT INVADES EUROPE Applies American Advertising Methods to Old World. Actresses. VESTA VICTORIA'S LOVER Offers Marriage and Fortune if She Will Abandon Stage, but She loves Art More Good Yarn Eagerly Swallowed. (Special Cab, to the Central . News and The Oregonian.) LONDON. July 21. That an Ameri can Press agent is in London is an assured fact, but his identity at pres ent Is a mystery. English actors and actresses have been thankful enough to receive a few solid paragraphs about their doings occasionally or at the very most an illustrated interview telling about their home" life and chil dren or pets or fads. The news story of the press agent, until a few weeks ago, was entirely unknown. " Now London has had a rush of them. One actress had fortune- left her by an old uncle In California. An other was given a Klondike claim years ago by an admirer. It has panned out with tons of virgin gold. The old stolen Jewelry story was twice worked and the valuable dog stolen has bobbed up once. Then a leading actor had a million left him by an Australian whose life he saved while paddling in the waves of the English Coney Island. But the money can not yet be found, so the aetor is still only spending his regular salary. The latest yarn concerns Vesta Vic toria, the music hall singer, and it has taken Immensely and has been a front page story. The yarn goes this way: Vesta is suddenly shocked on opening her morning mall to And a letter from a firm of lawyers offering her marriage on behalf of a client whose identity is not revealed. This client has a nephew. Both nephew and uncle admire Vesta. The nephew does not know her, but wants to marry her. If she will consent the uncle will settle a quarter of a million dollars on her. But there Is a P. S. If she marries she must leave the stage. This P. S. is her loophole. She cannot aban don her art even for such a fortune. Putting art first allows her to say plaintively: "With a womanly last thought for the rejected lover, etc." The letters are published in full and also interviews with Vesta and the lawyers. It is of course legitimate publicity for the lawyers as well as the actress. And the public and the newspapers swallowed It whole and are waiting for more. Now that the American Press agent has got his typewriter working they will assured ly have all they want. WANTS A NEW IITJSBAXD. Dutch Anxious for Heir to Beloved WHlielinina. - r (Special Cable to the Central News and The Oregon ian.) THE HAGUE, July 21. The ap proaching accouchement of the youth ful Queen of Holland has again caused great excitement throughout the country. The Dutch love Wilhel mlna and are very anxious to see the old house of Orange-Nassau have an other descendant. Despite che opera tion performed a year or more ago the Queen's advisers are very anxious about her health. She is not robust, and the old symptoms have reappeared. There is grave danger that the na tional hope for an heir to the throne will not be realized. The medical ex perts of Kurope have been summoned and a groat consultation Is to be held as soon as possible. A goodly number of the Dutch blame the Prince consort for all the trouble, and one paper, published purely for the masses, has printed a suggestion that if no heir appears this time the Queen be divorced and married to some other prince. This suggestion has become very popular and even Cabinet Ministers are said to favor it. The Prince Consort, however. Is a stal wart and healthy young man. and Is very much In love with his Queen, as she Is with him, so there Is litle chance of a divorce, even for state reasons. It Is well known that on the last occasion, when a Caesarian operation was performed, the doctors said .they could save either the mother or the child, and the Prince Consort demand ed the life of the mother be saved or he would shoot the surgeons. The queen mother also declared In favor of her daughter, although Wilhelmina herself begged for the child. AS HEADY TO BIAME AS PRAISE English Newspapers Alternately Abuse and Flatter Americans. (Special Cable to the Central News and The Oregonian.) LONDON, July 21. The news of the day causes quick changes. A remark able inscance of this Is given in the Knglish newspapers last week. One day the editorial columns were tilled with the most terrible abuse of the United States and everything Ameri can because of the revelations In the Thaw murder case. The next day, on account of the deplorable acldent to the American line train at Salisbury, the same columns were filled with wonderful sympathetic words of praise for America and Americans. The papers certainly did not spare Thaw. He is called a degenerate of the worst type, a cold-blooded mur derer and yet a typical American of American "society." One leading paper speaks as follows at the end of a long editorial: "The wealth of America is in the hands of the unscrupulous employers of a ruined protein rlat or in those of their degenerate children. The wealth of a country means its power and the poVer "of America is not wielded by Its worthy citizens, but by a callous or frivolous and drug-drinking set of millionaires to whom Providence has given money presumably in order to show that it must be despised. And ns we notice all this, we wonder what " will become of America." TRAGEDY FOLLOWS WEDDING Rival Murders Bride's Children by Former Marriage In Revenge. (Special Cable to the Central News and The Oregonian.) ROME. July 21. The wedding of a pretty Sicilian widow. Slgnora Doria, at Messina, was marred by a startling tragedy. .. The wedding party was about to leave the church. On her way to the door the bride stopped and mounted some steps to a little side chapel In order to kiss her two children by a former marriage. Sud denly an agonizing wail ' was heard. The bridegroom rushed up the steps, and saw his wife in a swoon beside her two children, whose throats. were cut. Suspicion fell on Tina Andrina,: a former sweetheart of the bridegroom. She was arrested and confessed that she had killed the children during the marriage ceremony in order to avenge herself on the man who had aban doned her and on the woman who had supplanted, her. PLUNDER IN HER WOODEN LEG Frail Parisian Woman Who Fascin ated and Robbed Butcher. (Special Cable to the Central News and The Oregonian.) PARIS July 21. Ernest Cuvillier is a butcher of Villette. He sold a big herd of steers and oame to Paris with a huge roll of money, in order to have a fling: While going the rounds of the cafes, he made the acquaintance of a classic beauty who offered to show him tfie sights.

But the po lice searched the flat. They were about to apologize and retire when one of the policemen discovered that the lady had a wooden leg. She was made to take it off, and the police found it was hollow and had been transformed into a portable safe. The butcher's banknotes for $1200 and 200 In gold were deposited inside the artificial leg. The lady went to Jail. RESULT OF DOCTORS' NEGLECT While They . Fight Duel About Diagnosis, Patient Recovers. . (Special Cable to the Central . News and The Oregonian.) VIENNA, July 21. While his two doc tors were fighting a duel because they disagreed over the diagnosis of his case, Bruno Rungi, an aged and wealthy re tired merchant, recovered and was able to visit the doctors in hospital, for they had both been wounded. When Mr. Rungi fell ill, ' his family hastily summoned the nearest physician. Later the family doctor arrived. The lat ter promptly threw out of the window all the medicines already ordered, and did the patient up in hot bandages and poul tices. Next morning in came the first doctor. He was wild with rage at what had been done. A consultation was de manded and agreed on. The two doctors squabbled In front of the patient, who at last said that he did not- much care which doctor attended him. Both could if they liked, but he would only pay the one who cured him.- The doctors thereupon challenged each other and fought a duel with swords. Both were wounded and were conveyed to the same hospital. Mr. Rungi has visited them there. He offered to divide the legal fee between them and they have accepted.

Miller, assistant foreman of the bindery of the Government Printing Office, who was responsible for the famous Roosevelc order of July 13, 1903, applying the open shop principle to the Government Printing Office, has i BONDS been suspended by the Public Printer, Charles A. Stillings, on charges of in subordination and insolence, growing out of his - refusal to carry out the order of Acting Foreman H F. Ashein to puiNcertain men to work. On May 14. 1903, Miller was sus pended by the then Public Printer, Palmer, on the ground that he was not a member of a labor union. The suspension was revoked on July 13 by President Roosevelt, who held It was not necessary for an employe of the Government to get a working card in a union, and that no union could dic tate to the Government whom it should employ. Labor troubles were threat ened at the time, but better counsel prevailed. Mr. Stillings will Investigate before taking final action. PAY IN SILVER ON CANAL. West. Indian Negroes Starve Rather .Than Spend Gold. PANAMA, July 21. Henceforth the Panama Canal Commission will pay all laborers In silver.

French Gun Examined by Army. WASHINGTON, July 21. A sample of the new French small arm, the improved Lebel rifle, has been received at the War Department and is being carefully exam ined by the experts. The gun is about four inches longer that the new American rifle, slightly smaller In caliber and a pound or two heavier, but it does not ap pear that it surpasses the American arm in range, accuracy or other valuable qualities. The magazine extends in a line with the barrel like an American sporting rifle, and the gun uses no cjips: consequently it is slower to load than our own gun. The center of gravity is continuously shifting with the movement of the muni tion in the magazine, and there is danger that the shell in the magazine might be exploded by a sharp blow of the stock on the ground, causing the pointed bullet of one shell to strike the primer of the one above it. A queer, square-ribbed bayonet, over 20 Inches In length, fitted with a sword handle of aluminum, gives the French gun a formidable appearance, but our ordnance officers think better of our knife bayonet. Eight Hours on Government Work. WASHINGTON, July 21. Acting Secre tary of the Navy Newberry, in accordance ith the directions of the President, today issued an order to all bureau chiefs, di recting that the eight-hour law be strict ly enforced. CONGRESS OF ALL NATIONS PARLIAMENTARY UNION MEETS IN LONDON MONDAY. Delegates From Twenty Nations Will Favor Permanent World's Con gress and Arbitration. LONDON, July 21. The 14th confer ence of the Interparliamentary Union, organized to promote the arbitration of peace, opens Monday in the Royal Gal lery of the Parliament building. . Dele gates represent the Parliaments of 20 countries, including Russia and Mexico and many' of the Central and South American republics which have here tofore not participated in the confer ences.

The United States has a dozen dele gates, under the leadership of Con gressman Richard Bartholdt, of Mis souri, including Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio; John Sharp Williams, of Missis sippi; Ebenezer Hill, of Connecticut; Oille M. James, of Kentucky; David L. Granger, of Rhode Island; Henry M. Goldfogle, of New York, and William J. Bryan, as an ex-member of the United States House of Representatives. The most important business of the conference centers around two proposi tions of Mr. Bartholdt, submitted in be half of the American delegation to the Brussels conference of 1905. The first proposes an international congress, and the second a model arbitration treaty to be submitted to the next conference at The Hague. The reports of the two committees appointed at Brussels, just issued, favor both propositions with certain modiflcations. The arbitration treaty favored repre sents a compromise between the pro posals of Mr. Bartholdt and those of Ernest von Pienor, formerly Austrian Minister of Commerce, and make arbi tration or an appeal to The Hague tribunal obligatory in a number of specified cases. It excludes questions affecting vital interests, national inde pendence or sovereign authority. The Americans insisted upon the specifica tion of these features in order to meet the objections of the American Senate to granting the executive unlimited au thority to arbitrate. ' The Americans intend to submit a resolution calling on all Parliaments to make appropriations to support the peace propaganda. Many entertainments have been planned In honor of the delegates.

MAKES A DESERT, CALLS IT PEACE Germany Conducts Campaign of Extermination in West Africa. FORTY THOUSAND PERISH Rebel Natives Driven Into Desert to Die of Hunger and Thirst Arid Wastes Strewn With Grisly Human Skeletons. BERLIN, July 21. (Special.) The of ficial report of the Government concern ing the result of the war against the native rebels in German Southwest Afri ca contains appalling details of the cam paign of extermination that has been car ried on by the German commander there in revenge for the various reverses that the German force encountered in the earlier days of the campaign.

As soon as the German forces were able to assume the offensive, a campaign of "no quarter" was inaugurated and car ried through. Death was the portion of all rebels, and the German forces were so persistent 1 that their enemies were soon driven into the desert, where they perished of starvation and thirst. An Immense area of the arid land Is now strewn with thousands of human skele tons, from which the flesh has been de voured by birds and beasts. It is estimated that 40,000 natives per ished in the desert, of whom many were aged men, women and children. The campaign is declared to have been with out a parallel In point of ferocity In re cent years, and - is likely to prove a strong weapon for the Socialists in the next meeting of the Reichstag.

NIGHT BEST TO TELEGRAPH Static Electricity Interferes During Ten Days of Continuous Daylight. Alaska Cable to Be Du plexed and Extended. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 21. For the first time since wireless communication was instituted be tween Fort St. Michael and Nome, Alas ka, trouble has been experienced. From June 22 until July 1 static electricity in terfered with the instruments. It is be lieved these conditions arise because of the prolonged sunlight at this time of the year in Alaska, it being well known that wireless telegraphy Is far less efficient by day than at night. June 21 was the longest day in the year, and the trouble commenced next day and continued until about July 21, during which period there was continuous, day light in that latitude and almost con tinuous sunlight. However, communica tion was not entirely interrupted, and at no time was the sending of messages stopped as much as a day at a time. Instruments for use in duplexing the Alaskan cable are now in the hands of the Signal Corps of ,the Army and are about to be installed. This will result In an Increase of about 75 per cent in the capacity of the cable. Materials are aTso in hand for putting in a cut-out in the cable between Sitka and Juneau. This cut-out is to extend to Fort Wrangell, Hadley, on Prince of Wales Island, and to Ketchikan, affording communication with Southern! Alaska. Examination for Army Surgeons.
