France has made what Secretary ' Hay re gards a master stroke of diplomacy in seeking the release of Ion Perdi- caris and his stepson. Ihrrty Mahometan "holy men have been tent from Tangier to urge Raisuli to set the captives free without paying any ranBom and without anv conditions except to escape the wrath of the "Roumis" the Arab's name for Christians. The "holy men" will tell Raisuli that if the prisoners are not imme diately released the Christians wilt bombard Tangier aed land troops to exterminate the Mahometans 01 drive them out of Morocco, one of their strongholds. Rasuli is a devoted follower of Mahomet, and the arguments of the "holy men" will carry great weight with him. Mr. Hay hopes that they will get the captives freed and ; take them back to Tangier. If this 'scheme works it will be the easiest way out of the affair, as it will antagonize no one and will go far toward preventing a repetiv tion of the incident. r r French officials convinced the "holy men" that if the prisoners are not immediately released the Un'tel t ites and Great will proceed against Rai-:uli and his band in par ticular and all Mahometans in gen eral, and that France will ' not in terfere.-. . . x ' . . " i The strenuous Roosevelt hand will fall next upon Turkey. When the cultan, Abdul Hamid, impa tiently asked that the American warships be sent away from Beirut last summer, following the Alexan- dretta incident, the president re luctantly consented to their recall serving notice on the sultan that the flett would return in greater force if ceitiin long-standing Amer icao Claims were not settled. The claims have not been paid, and plaos are on foot to carry out the president's threat. Mr. Kooeevelt believes the kid napping case soon will be a "closed incident," and as soon as the com-, bined squadrons can leave Tangier they will join the battle-ship fleet and steam to Turkey. As there may be a threat of bombardment, the warships probably will go to Beirut instead of to Smyrna; as was at first tentatively decided on as the abjective point. An American naval commander threatened some years ago to bombard Smyrna, and the sultan smilingly told him to go ahead. Then it was discovered that Smyrna's population is largely made up of naturalized Americans and Europeans. There was no bom bardment. Beirut is strictly a Turkish city, and a threat of bombardment there might carry more weight. On the arrival of the American fleet, which will be the most powerful that has ever been seen in European waters the sultan will be asked to pay up, and will be told that the warships will wait for the money. America s claims against Turkey amount to more than $20O,O0O.They include more than $200,000 in mis sionary claims and $40,000 indem nity for the murder some years ago of an American - bicyclist named Lenz, who was elain by Bashi Ba- souks, whose excuse was that they thought he was the devil. An American college at Marsou- va, burned b) Turks two. or three years ago, has never been paid for. The sultan will also be asked to make restitution for the ransom paid the Macedonian brigands who kidnapped Miss Ellen M. btone, The Americana who contributed the ransom fund are constantly appeal ing to Mr. Hav to insist that the sultan reimburse them.

Etzel, a stenographer, living in this city with her mother and sister, re ceived a cablegram today announc ing the death of her brother, Lewis Etzel, a . newspaper correspondent, who was fired upon in a junk , and killed by Chinese soldiers. Lewis Etzel was the son of Gabriel Etzel, who died in this city several years ago.. The dead correspondent was 36 .years of age.He left home about ten years ago, and had never re turned. He had traveled exten sively, and had accompanied some of the most famous Eastern explor ation expeditions. He had often penetrated, some of the wildest parts of the East Indies, and with Russel Harrison, a son of ex-Pres ident Harrison, made a wonderful trip through the jungles of "Borneo, in 1901. r Local Option Carr es by a Majority of Three Thousand Primary ; Election Law and State Print- ... 1 , er Amendment Adopted. Portland, June 8. The returns I from over the state show but little 'change iu the situation from that (announced in yesterday's Journal While the first estimates of the strength of the vote for local option amendment proved somewhat larg er than today's counting shows, it is safe to predict that the majority for the amendment is in the neigh borhood of 3,000 votes, which, it must bi conceded, is a remarkable hand-raising for the measure. In the First congressional district it is now conceded by tho republi cans that Hermann's plurality has been materially cut. According to official figures Tongue's plurality in the election of 1902 was 7,372, Chairman Tooze of the republican congressional committee today lays claim to but 5,963 plurality for Hermann. It therefore seems as sured that Hermann's plurality has .yi rnfi nrnriTii w m tin man on the democratic ticket, and the only hope for him is in the offi cial count. ,;"ProL W. L. Jackson, the democratic nominee for school superintendent, is elected by a ma jority of 1,450. i Eugene, Or., June 7. Alvin Lane, a 13 year old boy; residing near Walterville, 20 miles east of Eugene, on the McKenzie river, was dragged to death by a horse Saturday evening. The boy and his older brother went out to catch a horse which had jumped out of ti pasture into the county road. The horse had on a long rope, and the boys succeeded in getting-hold of it. The animal started to run, and the older brother let lose the rope, but in some manner the rope had taken a half-hitch around his leg and he was unable to free him self. At break-neck speed the horse tore down the road, dragging the boy with him. His brother mount ed another horse and took after the runaway an'mal, and succeeded in stopping it about a mile from where it started. The boy was dead be fore his brother reached him. The back of his head was almost com pletely torn off by striking on the rocks and hard earth, and his back and limbs werebadly lacerated. The boy was an orphan and was a son of the late Al Lane, a well-known resident. .- , . . ( v Notice for "Bids. " ' For building a school house in district No 18, to be finished by Oct. 1, 1904.

Charleston, S. C, June 2. A railroad conductor, who runs on the "Short Cut" past Lucama, N. C, says that when the southbound " West Indian mail ran . into some box cars at ; Lucama a carload of fertilizer was wrecked. The mail was thrown on top of tho fertilizer car and was burned. ' V: e next day the company Bold u. fmluer to a farmer nearby aod h--.hautfd it oat to his farm and scbttertd it in his field. When it was being distrib uted the hands picked up several diamonds which they took to be pieces of glass. The farmer immediately began a careful search of the field and soon found $8,000 worth of diamonds, which was subsequently increased by $2,000 worth more. As soon as the newB spread, people from neigh boring regions joined in the search and the field was so upturned that the farmer's entire crop had to be replanted. " " ' The conductor says that he has several of tne diamonds and t they are undoubtedly genuine. hirjg has been heard from the al owners of the diamonds.
