ATLANTIC FLEET GRAND SIGHT Thousands Line Beaches to See Ships On Their Way North. Excursion Steamers Cross Columbia Bar and Blow Srlutes to War ships as They Round Tillamook Head National Colo-is are Dipped in Reply. Astoria, Or., May 21. From every point ot vantage on dunes and head lands between Willapa Harbor and iiiiamook Head yesterday the pa triotic people of the Pacific North west waved their welcome and fare well to the battleships of the Atlantic ,tleet as they steamed up the coast, Ten thousand throats cheered the im posing pageant of the nation's naval power; hats were flung high in the air and tears streamed down the faces of many spectators in an excess of patriotism, as the imposing file of monster fighting ships rounded lilla mook Head and came in sight of the waiting multitude. It was a magnificent sight, such as the Oregon co;ist has never before witnessed. In the lead, flying Rear Adiniral Sperry's blue tworstarred flag, was the Connecticut, the splen did type of the navy s latest fighting machines. The vessel that led the squadron on its historic voyage from Hampton Roads, with "Fighting Bob" Evans on the bridge, still stood at the head of the column, which was made up of the following ships: First squadron, first division Con necticut, Kansas, Minnesota and Ver mont. Second division Georgia, Nebras ka, New Jersey and Rhode Island. Second squadron, third division Louisiana, Virginia, Ohio and Mis souri. Fourth division Wisconsin, Illi nois, Kearsarge and Kentucky. Accompanying the war vessels was the hospital ship relief. As the fleet rounded Tillamook Head at 11:30 in the morning, the battleships, which were steaming abreast of each other in a straight line stretching to the horizon, swung nto a single column, the flagship lead . ing the van, and cruised within two miles of the surf, affording a splendid view to the spectators on shore. A fleet of excursion steamers crossed the bar early in the day and greeted the battleships off Tillamook Rock with a volley of whistles. Each ves sel was loaded to its capacity with ex cursionists, and their cheers were added to the noisy salute. The mos quito fleet escorted the war vessels northward of the Columbia River, when they returned to Astoria. When the war vessels left the excursion craft behind, the battleships resumed their positions, steaming to the north abreast of each other. As the squadron steamed along in perfect order, each vessel dipped its colors in acknowledgment of thi loud acclaim from the excursion craft. BOMB WRECKS TENEMENT. Black Hand Angered Because Efforts to Extort Money Fall. New York. May 21. The refusal of a wealthy Italian physician to com ply with the demands of Black Hand criminals for money resulted in en dangering the lives of 100 persons yesterday, when a bomb was exploded in the tenement house at 316 East Eleventh street. A number of per sons were injured and the occupants of the house rushed into the street in panic, while doors and neams wnicn liad been twisted out by the explosion tumbled all around them. The lower pnrt of the house was almost com pletely wrecked. None of the injured was dangerously hurt with the excep tion of Tonv I.ambarro. who was crushed bv falling timbers and in ternally iniured. The explosion occurred when most of the occupants of the house were at breakfast. The bopib had been placed in the rear hall, under the stairs. The stairway was almost completely torn away, every door on the first and sec ond floors was wrenched off. windows were blown out, and plaster and Tieams all over the house were shaken down. I.ambarro was on the stairs when the explosion occurred. The others iniured were struck by flying limbers in their apartments. JURY FAILS TO AGREE. Ruef Again Escapes, but New Trial Will Be Pressed. San Francisco, May 22. Unable to agroo, after being out almost 44 hours the jury in the case of Abraham Ruef charged with offering a bribe to former Supervisor Jennings J. Phillips, was dis charged at 5 o'clock last evening by Judge Maurice T. Dooling. Thirteen ballots were taken, and the jury stood 6 to 6 from the outset. At no stage was there a chance for an agreement, the credibility of the witnesses being the main point upon which the jurors di vided. The failure of the jury to convict will not alter the attitude of the prosecution as there are numerous indictments pend ing against Ruef, on one of which he will be placed on trial as soon as the state can make its arrangements to that end. In view of this fact the board of supervisors today appropriated $70,000 for the continuance of the graft prose cutions. Resuming their deliberations yester day morning, the jury was called into court at 11:45 o'clock by Judge Doo ling, but nskod the court for more time The request was granted and they re- tired. When 4 o'clock arrived the bailiff or dered the courtroom cleared, as Judge Dooling had decided to send for the jury in a short time, and there was a desire to avoid any demonstration on I he part of the spectators. As a result ittorneys directly interested and the members of the press were about the only ones in attendance when the jurors hied in and took their olaces in the box Foreman Penny arose, and in response to the question of Judgo Dooling said ii wus impossible lor the jury to agree. r.ach juror wus then questioned by Judge Dooling, and all agreed that they could not arrive at a verdict. Judge Dooling then formally discharged the jury. BUILD1TOJPACIFIC. Edwin Gould Makes Announcement for Western Pacific. Los Angeles, May 22 Edwin Gould, pathfinder for the "ocean to ocean" railroad ambition of his brother, George, announced that the Gould lines will not only reach San Francisco, but they will enter Los Angeles and the ports of the Pacific Northwest, through Portland. Mr. Gould arrived today from Texas in his private care "Dixie." Gouhl is a director of the Western acific, and makes the positive an nouncement that the ocean to ocean Gould line will be consummated with the early completion of the Western 'aeifie into ban Francisco, and that the lines of the Goulds will also be extend ed to Portland in the near future. Further, Mr. Gould declares that the 'acific Coast will be the scene of the inoht extensive railroad operations ever known. lor many months it has been rumored that the Gould interests have been se curing options on rights of way along the coast from the north shore of San rnncisco bay to Eureka,, The North estern railroad, which ends at Willcts. Mendocino county, is supposed to bei''r tne property or tne southern I'aejfic and Santa Fe jointly, but lately it has been reported that part of the right of way etween wuiots and f.ureka has been found to overlap other claims, and liti gation was threatened. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SIXTIETH SESSION OF NATIONAL LAWMAKERS Saturday, May 23. Washington, May 23. Following a precedent the United States Senate killed off the attempt of the Western Senators to open the way to a consti tutional amendment providing for the election of Senators by popular vote. The question came up on a resolution, offered by Owen, of Oklahoma, and after an unusually spirited debate, the resolution was referred to a commit tee, where it will be smothered to death, Fulton, of Oregon, was paired in favor of the resolution; Bourne was absent. Ankeny and Piles, of Wash ington, both favored the passage of the resolution, as did Borah, of Idaho, but Ueyburn was opposed to it. Washington, May 23. The House again today wrestled with the subject of mail subsidies to steamhsip com panies and once more recorded itself against the proposition by the vote of 14') to 154. The debate ran well into the night. Having been overwhelmingly de feated yesterday the conferees on the postoffice appropriation bill today came into the House with a new re port, agreeing with the Senate on everything except the subsidy pro vision and that relating to the system for weighing the mails. The portion of the report on which there was no disagreement was adopted unanimous ly under an agreement to extend the time of debate on the subsidy ques tion. Friday, May 22. Washington, May 22. The omnibus claims bill was considered by the Sen ate today until displaced by the resolu tion to extend the period during which no penalty will he enforced for violation of the commodities clause of the Hep burn bill. Aldrich inquired of Fulton of Oregon how much of the total appro priation carried by the claims bill was for Southern war claims, and was told that two-thirds were of that character and one-half of those for damages to choice property. Aldrich suggested that the time ought soon to come to stop allowance of this kind of clainjs arising 42 years after the war, when the government could not secure witnesses who knew anything bout them, except those who are re lied upon by the claimants to prove their losses. Fulton said he would offer an amend ment that would do just what was desired. Washington, May 22. The senate amendment to the postoffice appropria tion bill extending the ocean mail sub sidies to steamers plying on the Pacific Ocean t the Orient and Australia and on the Pacific and Atlantic to South merican ports was the subject of warm debate in the house and finally caused the reiection of the conference report by a vote of 145 to 156. There is little prospect that the house conferees will icld to the senate. WRECK IN BELGIUM. Sixty Killed and Hundred Injured in Collision of Trains. Antwerp, May Big Deal in Oil Land.

The limit of cost fixed for the sub treasury buildirrg in San Francisco was increased from $375,000 to $025, 000. The senate amendment provid ing for a new office building for the departments of state and justice to be used jointly was retained, the ulti mate cost of which is limited to $2, 500,000, and it is hinted that if this item is not retained the bill may be allowed to fail. The amendment ap propriating $400,000 for purchase of an embassy building in Paris to be used as an office and residence also was accepted by the senate. Washington, May 19. The confer ence report on the sundry civil appro priation bill was submitted to the house today and action on it has been postponed until tomorrow.

The bill making an appropriation of $500,000 for representation' by the United States at the Tokio exposition was passed, as were also the two omni bus bills embodying 40 separate meas ures having to do with public land and matters in the territories. Pending a vote on a bill providing for the issuance of leases of public land in the Panama canal zone, a re cess was taken until tomorrow. The omnibus territories bill, embrac ing 15 measures favorably considered by committee, was passed, under sus pension of the rules. The various pro visions of the bill deal exclusively with legislation pertaining to the territories. the most important of whicn is one regulating the sale of liquor in Alaska. The passage of the bill in this manner was to limit the debate to a minimum, to obviate at least 14- roll-calls. By the provisions of a bill, the secre tary of the navy is authorized to ac cept and care for gifts, such as silver services, presented to vessels of the navy. MOBSfiRULE CLEVELAND. DYNAMITE TWO CLEVELAND GARS Striking Men. Shoot Down Carmen and BurnJCars Little Girl Killec. Cleveland, O., May 20 The most se rious violence of the street car strike which has been on here since Sunday, occurred i Lakewood, a suburb, last SeVeffll People Hllfl by OlltraflCl Of night, when four men were wounded j with bullets, one car burned and an other partially wrecked. Trouble had been anticipated, and the first car to Clinton carried no passen gers. When it stopped before a railway bridge, a crowd which had been lying in wait, leaped from hiding places and opened fire on the crew and guards. Guards W. G. Barnes and John Swanto returned the fire, more than 30 shots being exchanged. While the shooting was in progress the crowd grew to nearly a thousand. Another car arrived and its crew joined in the fight. Gasoline was poured on the second car and it was burned to the trucks. The Cleveland police were no tified, and 60 officers were sent to the rescue. The first car, riddled with bul lets and windows broken, proceeded to the barn. An earlier disturbance occurred in the downtown district, when Yatta Wolkin- son, a little girl, was killed by a car Day is One of Lawlessness Attempt at Arbitration Fails Police Find Box of Explosives Intended for Other Cars Cars Blown Up Were Loaded With Passengers. Cleveland, O., May 19 A Broadway street car was partially destroyed by a dynamite torpedo last night. While 25 passengers were in the car, no one, for a miracle, was seriously hurt. A panic followed, and a mad rush for the exits was made. A suburban car was also damaged by the explosion of powder on the track. The floor of the car was smashed through, and one woman was severely injured. After 1 o'clock yesterday morning a while attempting to cross the street, i Detroit avenue car was dynamited near As soon as he realized what had oc curred, the motorman speeded the car several blocks ahead, where the police were notified. The conductor then left the car and sought refuge in a near-by drug store. A crowd attempted to reach him, while others attempted to catch the fleeing car. The police ar rived just in time to save the conductor, at whom the mob was yelling, "Lynch him; lynch him." f The state arbitrators took up the task of endeavoring to effect a reconciliation between the strikers and the Municipal '.traction company early last night, and remained in session several hours. RESERVE DAY FOR VISITORS. Monday, May 18. Tacoma Planning for Entertainment of Many Strangers Tacoma, Wash., May 20 Wednesday, May 27, the day on which the full bat tleship fleet will parade in Tacoma'a harbor, will be reserved for visitors from out of town, who will be given exclusive freedom of the nation's big fighting machines. This arrangement will give those not living in Tacoma the first opportunity to visit the battle ships. The general committee deemed this precaution necessary because of the great crowds of people coming to Ta coma from Oregon, Washington, and as far east as Idaho and Montana, some of them for a single day only. In Tacoma they expect to find special advantages, for from the high bluffs surrounding Commencement bay and lorming an immense natural grandstand, hundreds of thousands of visitors can be accommodated with a perfect view of the spacious harbor. William Jones, chairman of the general committee, says he is advised that thousands are coming from Seattle to view the parade of the fleet, owing to the superior advantages enjoyed in Tacoma. In consequence of the expected rush, the steamship lines and the eletcric and steam roads run ning into 'Tacoma are preparing to One Hundredth street. The trucks were badly damaged, but the single passenger and the crew were uninjured. At 12:30 o'clock a small box, which the police say contained deadly ex plosives, was found on the tracks at Broadway and East Fifty-fifth street. The box was discovered with a car less than 500 feet away. At 1 o'clock rioting began near the Windemere barns, in East Cleveland, when strikers cut six trolley wires. Linemen for the Municipal Traction company turned out in force to repair the damages, but were driven back by a gang of three hundred men.

The collision occurred at Contich, six miles southeast of Antwerp. One train was bound for Brussels and the other was going to Lierre. Three coaches of the latter train were crushed into kind ling wood. The accident, which is thought to have been due to mistaken signals, took place on a crossing. New'Outbreak in Hayti.

London, May 19 Limitation of naval armament may shortly be agreed to by the European powers, according to a statement made by a high British gov ernment official, who said: "While England has no immediate intention of issuing invitations to a congress for the reduction of warship construction, nevertheless work is be ing done to bring about an understand ing among the powers to this end. The efforts that are being made are-unofficial, and considerable headway already has resulted. Within a year is it very probable the ground will begin to be cleared for an understanding. "Three governments at present stand opposed to armament limitation. They are the United States, Japan and Ger many. Apparently it has now become a set policy of the United States to lay down two battleships of the Dread naught type yearly. This means that America will never enter any interna tional agreement that will not recognize her right to mantain a fleet superior to the mikado's. No present hope ex ists of Japan acquiescing in such a proposal, and so it is hopeless to ex pect the Americans and the Japanese can be counted on to sign a naval re duction pledge."
