grading outfits, a steam shovel and

Work on the bridge at Wilsonville
is progressing favorably. The piers
are well along toward completion,
and 700 tons of steel for the super

by the end of July. Rails, ties, over
head wires and all materials are
strung along the line of the new road

distance from Salem to Portland.
K. L. Donald, chief engineer, says
the completion of the road on time is

on Statu) of Lincoln.
Chicago, May 31. General Baron
Kuroki last night gave a banquet to
50 Chicagoans, which, for expense,
splendor and unique features, has
arely been equaled. The baron gave
orders that no expense was. to be
spared, and his orders were carried
out to the letter. The banquet hall
was transformed into a marvelous
maze of Japanese lanterns, draperies
and dainty scrolls, while the menu in
cluded the finest wines to be had.
Baron Kuroki entered heartily into
the spirit of Memorial Day. Early
in the morning the warrior-viistor
and hit staff donned their regimentals
and it was decidedly a military party
which emerged from the Auditorium
Annex to go to the home of the Im
perial Consul, S. Sliimizu. It was the
first time the Nipponese visitors had
worn their military uniforms. Gen
eral Kuroki was attired in a clay
colored uniforms, with but one deco
ration, a medal for bravery presented
by the Mikado. . The other members
of the party were ablaze with deco
ration, but Kuroki - wore tne really
valuable emblem.
In the afternoon the general paid
tribute to the memory of Abraham
Lincoln in an impressive way a way
that touched the hearts of the Ameri
cans who witnessed it, and a way that
Chicagoans probably will remember
as the one thing more than any other
which gave an insight into the brown.
little, gnrzled warriors character.
At S o clock the party left the Audi
torium Annex in two automobiles,
carrying a wreath of white roses four
feet in diameter. All the way to Lin
coln Park the general was silent, as
if impressed with the importance of
the tribute he was about to pay: and
aware apparently of whatever value it
might have as an international episode
of his trip to America. At Lincoln
Park. President rrancis I. Simmons,
of the Park Board, met the party, and
at the base of the great St. Gaudens
bronze statue brief speeches , were
made.
The general, head uncovered and
in lull uniform, presented a, great
contrast as he stood bareheaded be
fore the tall statue of the great eman
cipator, and the sight was one long
to be remembered. A vast crowd
had assembled, and General Kuroki.
aided by some of his officers, raised
the wreath and placed it revenently
on the iect of the statue. . 1 hen salu
tations were exchanged all around.
and the visitors departed, cheered by
the crowd.
Another incident was a call made
upon the general early in the morning
by a tew baseball enthusiasts. Gen
eral Kuroki, holding a ball in one
hand and a bat in the other, eulogized
the American game, and said he
would boom it in Japan. He intends
to see the game between the world's
champion White Stockings and the
Uetroits here Saturday.
RIOTS IN IRELAND.

Dublin. May 31-The latest phase
of the land agitation in the congested
districts of Ireland is taking the form
of a crusade against the holders of
grazing farms on the 11 months'

great rapidity. Kings County and

country to the farm of the owners.
In two cases men who had leased
ranches were compelled to abandon
their homes because of intimidation.
There have been serious conflicts be

many - persons on both sides have
been injured. There have been
numerous prosecutions, but the sym

that in one ot two instances even the
magistrates have declined to concur

SEAMEN ALL STRIKE!
French Merchant Fleet Tied Up
by Labor Troubles.
DEMAND INCREASE IN PENSIONS
Entire Naval Rtrv Quits Work
Torpedo Boata Carry Mail
on Mtdittrrantan.
Paris. June 1 -A general strike of
tailor and others belonging to tb
French naval reserve began at almost
all the port of Franc at daylight to
day and threatens the complete paraly
sis of French commerce. The naviga
tion committees are making energetic
representation to th government, say
ing that th movement i not directed
against them and that unlet it is set
tled immediately it will eaus untold
injury to French commerce.
Tb naval reserve comprise nearly
the entire maritime population engaged
in sea-faring life and number 117,000
men, of whom 25,000 are serving In the
navy. In addition to practically all the
seamen of the mercantile trade, most
of the longshoremen belong to tbt na
val reserve. .
The strike was declared by the ex
ecutive committee of the National Bea-
men' Union beeanse the government's
new bill increasing pensions from
$40.80 to $72.50 in the ease of seamen
and from $156 to $200 in the ease of
captains is regarded as inadequate.
The tie-up i almost eomplete tt the
Mediterranean, Atlantic and Channel
ports. The strikers generally left their
ship and th government commanded
the torpedo boat and torpedo-boat de-
troyer to carry on the mail service
with th colonic and with Mediter
ranean porta. The Freneh T rant-Atlantic
Steamship Company announced
today that neither La Provence nor La
Oaaeogne will be able to sail for New
York tomorrow, both crews having
abandoned their ship, bimilar condi
tions prevail at Bordeaux. v
Official of the French line have re
quested the government to land them
crew from the tate naval depots, but
no reply has yet been received. Le
gally all the companies are in a po
sition to coerce the men, as, being
members of the naval reserve, the
crews are subject to heavy penalties
for insubordination, but it is regarded
as more likely that they will try to
effect a torn prom is.
At Marseilles the tailors and long
shoremen struck almost to a man, and
all the fishermen drew up their net.
The strike is as complete at HavTe,
but up to this evening the men had
not struck at Brest. At Toulon the
strike is complete; at Dunkirk and
rvantes the men are going out, and at
Koucn tne longshoremen nave aban
doned their work.
The men. are well behaved, and as
an instance of the sentiments back Of
the strike there is the fact that har
bor watches have been provided by the
strikers vior all ships in port.

PUT RAILROAD MEN IN JAIL,
Clement Want to Maks Exampkt of
- Prominent Lawbraaktr.
Chicago, May 2. A dispatch to tht
Tribune from Washington, D. C,
says:
"The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has entered upon a more rad
ical policy in the treatment of cor
porations which persist in violating
the law. Possessed of authority to
investigate every phase of railroad
business, and having the power to
bring about the punishment of indi
viduals as well ss corporations, the
commission is pushing its work with
determination. Commissioner Jud
son C. Clements, of Georgia, who has
had 19 years' service, yesterday, said:
"One of the most wholesome things
that could happen would be putting
in jail some man of prominence in tht
railroad world. It would do mort
than anything else to bring better
conditions.
"It would not be necessary to put
in jail all the men who ought to bt
there. Just one or two who hold
high positions in the social and busi
ness world should be put behind bars.
This would act as a powerful deter
rent, for men then would hesitate to
jeopardize their positions and safety."
Question of criminal prosecution
by tht commission have been delc-
? rated to Franklin K. Lane, of Cali
ornia, one of the most energetic and
conservative members. .When Mir,
Lane was asked, "Are yon going to
send somebody in the railroad world
to jail?" he replied: "I hope that it
will not be necessary. If the rail
roads comply with the law we will
get along most harmoniously, but if
the law is broken, then there will be
trouble." ,
Do you intend to have Edward H.
Harriman prosecuted i"
That whole subject is under con- '
sideration by the commission. If
Harriman has been guilty of any in
fraction of the act to regulate com
merce, be will, as a matter of course,
be prosecutednot at all because be
is Harriman, bnt because he is an of
fender against the law." i
