Hope for suffer ers from the great white plague is held out by the success of experiments with vaccine inoculation as a cure for tuber culosis, not only of lungs, but on other organs of the body, by the faculty of Tufts College Medical" school arid path ological department of the Massachu setts general hospital. The treatment lias already been test ed in the case of Mrs. Curtis tiuild, jr., wife of Governor tiuild, with most en couraging results. At Tufts Medical school the work has been in charge of Dr. Timothy Leary, professor of pathology and bacteriology in the Massachusetts General hospital, and Dr. James Homer Wright. Dr. Wiight calls the treatment "the Op sonic method," from the fact that the opsonins in the human body aro stimu lated to greater activity. In the case of disease when danger ous bacteria attack the oouy, me op sonins set to work to destroy the bac teria. If they succeed, the patient re- ccvers, nut it then tail, tlie disease pn - grosses and the deadly absorption cf the vital organs begins. Dr. Leary says of the preventative with which he is experimenting: "What we are trving to do, and what others in every part of the medical and scientific wcrld are at woik trying to do, is to elaborate a specific which will so strengthen powers ot tne Human blood that their resistance to the in roads of disease will not only be in creased but prolonged; which will make them immune against the inroads of the bacteria and keep them up to the point which thev must possess in order to perforin the work for which they were intended by nature."

From Shanghai advices received at tke State department it appears mat tne ruling dynasty in China is seriously alarmed over the effect of the spread of famine through the country and the opportuni ty it offers to seditionary societies to enlist converts to their cause directed against the government. ine government s inability to re lieve suffering, it is said, has been magnified and the hardships cf the peo pie attributed to lack of sympathy bv the government for the poor classes. ihe information indicates that a pro paganda has been organized to further the circulation of stories of the charact er outlined, and it is said that State department officials fear that a spread of hysteria may engender a general up rising. If such should be the result, there js danger that the government might not be able to control the eitua tion. American and other foreign in terests then will lie jeopardized. So great is the concern that diplomatic and consular othcials in China have been instructed to keep Washington ad vised of eveiy turn in the situation. CHARGED TOLL. Commissioner Gallagher Took Fees From Fellow Grafters. San Francisco, March 20. A feature of the boodling operations of the super visors not hitherto exposed and which surpasses in genuine cussedness any thing yet revealed, came out today when it was learned that Supervisor Gallagher, who acted as distributer of the swag, charged his fellow supervisors a commission of 5 per cent on all bood le he collected for them. Gallagher admits it in his confession. He said he did it because of the expense he was put to in the way of car fare and the risks involved. Gallagher hot ly defended himself when questioned in the grand jury room about the practice. lie said he thought he was honestly en titled to the brokers' commission. In some cases, tie said, his colleagues pro tested, but he informed them that if he was not to get the commission they would not get the lioodle. Although Louis Glass, of the Pacific States Telephone company, and Abram Detwiller, of the Home Telephone com pany, the two indicted magnate's have not been apprehended by the police, no fear is felt by the prosecution as it is believed that both men will surrender. FINE CROP OUTLOOK. Eastern Oregon Farmers Rejoicing Over Recent Rain. v The Dalles The rain and snow which fell here last week aggregated one inch moisture. Showers still continue and the snow on high elevations, which varied from four to six inches in depth, is gradually disappearing. This will further retard plowing and seeding, which, owing to the miry ondition of the soil, had but fairly begun throughout the country. When this last storm fell, farmers from the Tygh ridge wheat-belt reported that the conditions for spring grain have not loen as favorable in many years as now, because of the heavy freezing which loosened the ground to a depth of 18 inches, and the thorough soaking from the deep snow and heavy rain. Owing to the long drouth and the lateness of fall rains, there is less acre age in winter wheat than usual, but under the present favorable conditions for spring seeding, there will be about the usual annual acreage in grain. The fruitgrowers regard the late snow storm as most beneficial, since it checks the budding until dan ger of killing frosts is past. No loss of sheep is feared, since lambing on the cheep ranges of the county has not yet begun. OREGON'S EXPENSES FOR 1906 Total For Various Sums Foots Up to $1,306,449 97. Salem Secretary of Sttae F.

Socrotary Garfield is eirganizing the Interior de partment with a view to facilitating public business and eliminating red tape. He is transforming an obselote governmental machine into a modem business methods, injecting up-to-date methods and doing away witli fully one-third of the labor required under tho old regime. Beginning today, Mr. Garfield will abolish the) public lands and Indian Territory divisions of the Interior de partm'iit, divisions which heretofore handled all business coming to the sec retary from the general land oflico and Indian ofhee. Their functions were superfluous and had no goeid effect. On the contrary, the'se divisions made un necessary work and delay, and were largely responsible for friction and trouble between Secretary Hitchcock on the one hand and the land ami Indian office's em the either hand. J. A. Purker, former chief of tho lands division, who lias a thorough knowledge of department methods, is to be made Mr. Garfield's private sec retary, but will not participate in the formation ef depaitmental policy. Clerks of his anil other divisions will be absorbed by the land and Indian ollices. These reforms were recom mended by the Keep eommissiein, of which Mr. Garfield was a member. The piesident heartily approves of the change, and looks for great im provement in the department in conse quence, especially as the changes bring the new secretary in close touch with the chiefs of all bureaus of his depart ment, and obliterates the bothersome intermediary.

After Ten Hours Fight, Army Flees, Abandoning Camp, Managua, Nicaragua, March 25. Advices ree-eived from the front today, say that the army of President Bonilla of Honduras has been attacked and de feated near Nariata bv the Hondurian revolutionists and Nicaraguan aimy after 10 hours' hard fighting.

Many were kilied and wounded on both sides. The Hondurian revolutionists cap tured 300 prisoners, three pieces of ar tillery, also a supply of ammunition therefor and 300 rifles. One estimate of the casualties places the killed at 2U0 and the wounded at 100. TW'Ohundred government soldiers joined the revolutionists during the fight. The disaster for President Bonilla is now complete and it is believed that Tegucigalpa undoubtedly will be cap tured.

No Let-Up of Ram Apparent in North ern California. ' Redding, Cal., March 25. The heav iest storm of the season rage'd here all last night and until early this morning. For a few hours it abated and then broke again. A terrific wind is now blowing and the rain is falling in sheets. Reports state that snow is falling all through the Siskiyous and Sacramento canyons, the precipitation be-ing heav ier than at any time during the past season. All the snowplows in this see:tion have been put into commission and have made but little headway. A .third snowsliile occurred at Can- tara, and the wrecker from Dunsmuir hastened to the scene. Tunnel No. 9 is said to be caving in and Dunsmuir has an unverified report that in the MSkiyous many eave-ms nave occurred. Conditions could not be worse along the upper route than they now are and the indications are that another storm will break tonight. San Francisco, March 23. This was by far tho most sensational day in tho local graft situation. Mayor Schmitz sent an emissary to Assistant District rUtorney Heney and Detective Burns and asked for terms. When no pro posals were forthcoming tho agents of the mayor made a definite proposition. Tlie-y offered a confession from tho mayor lor complete immunity and his continuance in office until the expira tion of his term on January 1 of next year. The offer was rejected w itii moro speenl than it was made and the negoti ations came to a quick end. The may or's emissaries are expecte'd to re-turn. It is not thought that they seriously be lieved that tho prosecution would con sent to tho continuance of Schmitz in ollice. But it was simply to create a point on which they could yield in future negotiations. Second only in importance to tho overtures from the mayor we-re the rev elation that 13 indictments had been voted against Abraham K. Detw iler, a capitalist from Ohio, who visited tho Pacific coast last April in the interest of the Home Telephone company. Plans for the future government of the city were evolved todav bv Mr. Heney, District Attorney Langdon and Rudolph Spreckels. With graft reach ing into almost every bram fi of the cit affairs, the functions of government have broken down comple-tedy. Instead of an organized form of administration, Francis J. Heney is practically dictator of the city and county of San Francisco. The people are eonter t to let him and his associates werk out the problem. The plan is to keep the boodling super visors in office for a time. They will obey Mr. Heney 's orders. Of this there is no doubt. Should they refuse, indict ment, trial and conviction and im prisonment would follow. While ihesupervisors remain in oflico summary impcnchnie'nt proceedings will be brought against the mayor, and ho will be removed by a judge eif the Su perior court after a hearint;, which will not occupy more than a few hours. Schmitz will be given a chance to ledgn to avoid d ismissal . After the eject ion of Schmitz from the ollice t he board of supetvisors will lie ordete-d to edect as his Miccessor some man to be chosen by Mr. Heney, probably District Attorney I-angdon. After the new mayor assumes ollice, Mr. Heney will order the 10 boodling su pervisors to resign and they w ill resign. FIGHT FOR PHILIPPINES Will Be Long Drawn Out. Washington, March 25. The trial of Ringer Hermann on the letterbook in dictment will not be concluded before April 10, and may extend longer. The prosecution has a number of important witnesses to place on the stand and may not complete its case this week. The defense will require all of two weeks before it goes to the jury.
