Washington, lh-e. 26.— Senators Ful ton and Gearin today called on General MacKensie, chief of engineers, in re gard to the needs of the Columbia river jetty. General MacKenzie gave them renewed assurance of his friendliness and said he was doing everything in hie power to secure money to keep work in progress. He has recommended not only an appropriation of $400,000 in cash, but has urged that authority be granted for the expenditure of an additional $1,- 000,000. He explains that $400,000 is required for “ rooking” the jetty as far out as the end of the present tram way, but will not lie ample for any ex tension. If authority can Eie secured for the expenditure of $1,000,000 addi tional, it will be possible next season to pusli the jetty much farther sea ward, and in fact approach tiie point where it is expected to end. Major Roeesler, in his report, re commended an appropriation of $1,- 900,000 to complete the jetty. This is a higher figure than the previous esti mate, but his estimate is reduced ma terially by the War department. The Oregon senators will exert their Eiert efforts to secure the appropriation recommended by General MacKenxie, and will furthermore insist [upon the authorization of additional work to the extent of $1,000,000. The other Northwestern senators and representa tives will work in accord with them. St. Petersburg, Iter. 25.— There is a persistent rumor in circulation here, a well known revolutionary leader tie- ing the authority, that the esar has lieen warned to leave Russia. This communication was sent to tlie ruler in three different ways in order to guar antee ite reaching him. The esar was notified that tiie limit of patience hail lieen reached and tiiat lie had ceaeed to tie ruler of Russia, save In name only. Thu esar was advised, for tils own sake as well as (or his family’s, to leave the country at once. The comm unicat ion Is also said to have stated. “ We lo not want to harm any mem* tier of the imperial family, but we will not lie responsible fur their safety in tlie present critical time.“ It is stated on high authority that one copy of the warning was taken to tlie exar’a private apartments at Tsar- koe-Selo a few days ago. Tlie exar is heavily guarded in the palace, which is surrounded by a form idable array of troops, while doxens of maxims and large supplies of ammuni tion are stored away. Few of the offi cials have access to the exar. G U ID E T O E L E C T IO N S . S E R V IC E IM P R O V E D .
