Washington, Djc I. The presi dent today made the following ap pointments in Oregon: To be United states district at torney for the district of Oregon William C. Bristol, vice Francia J. Hehey, resigned. - To be register of the land office at Roseburg Benjamin L. Eddy, of Tillamook, Or., vice Joseph T. Bridges, removed. To be receiver of public moneys at Rosebnrg James M. Lawrence, of Bend, Or., vice James H. Booth,, removed. Mr. Heney 's resignation is the result of the conclusion of his work in investigating the land frauds,' on which he has been engaged as dis trict attorney since he superseded John H. Hall to facilitate ' his in veetigatioD. Mf. Hall 'was sum marily removed.' Mr. Heney took charge of the office a few days later, and- has bad charge of the investi gations - and ' prosecutions which haveledNitp to the numerous J land cases in the courts of that state. Mr. Hall's removal occurred last winter, following charges of obstruction of evidence in the late cases. " Mr.1 Heney was : at the White House some nights ago with Secre tary Hitchcock and, it is under stood, conferred with the president regarding the changes as well as on the reeults of the land-fraud inves tigations. Receiver Booth was indicted last summer for alleged participation in the frauds. The appointment of W. C. Bristol as United States dietrict attorney and J. M. Lawrence as receiver of the land office at Roseburg, is the result of the crisis which has been pending between President Roose velt and Secretary Hitchcock, on the one hand, and Senator Fulton on the other. The news contained in the foregoing Washington dis patch was received at Portland shortly before 11 P. M., and was evidently given out to th Associat ed Press direct from the White House by the President's secretary, instead of following the ordinary routine of announcing appointments from the departments the following rooming, it is possible that the appointments were the result of a night s conference. !William C. Bristol, Oregon's new United Statee district attorney, Is a well-known Portland attorney. He came to this city from the East some years ago and was employed by Cotton, Teal & Minor,: and Teal & Minor before engaging in private practice. He also served as land expert for the Southern Pacific land department. ' ' - James Lawrence, receiver of the Roseburg land office, is United Slates commissioner at Bend Or., and editor of the Bend Bulletin. He is well known in - Portland, having been on the staff of the Oregoninu for several years, formerly living at Oregon City,' where' he was engaged in newspaper work, and where 3 he first became familiar in land rimat ters;;: He-waaJ-appointed-J United States : commissioner at Bend - in 1902 by the late Judge Bellinger, who also indorsed him ' for his new office. V !:(:::: :: B. L. Eddy, of Tillamook; regis ter of the Roseburg land office, ib an attorney of well-known standing in the states" He served in -several state legislatures , - attained prom inence as chairman of the judiciary committee, and was a leadingcan didate for speaker two years- ago, and in the last state election an un successful nominee for; circuit judge. He ft b author of the : Eddy 'tor poration tax law which'has yielded the state- a great- neat' of -revenue. Mr; Eddy's appoi n tmen t was agreed upon several months ago. -v St. Petersburg, Dec. 1.- It is re ported here thai one of the grand dukes plotted to arrest the czar at Tsorskoe-Selo, his object being to proclaim himself "dictator, relyin on bis promises to complete reform to secure the support of the social ists and working men.' .':.-. Owing to the discretion of one of tbe grand duke's agents, the plot! was disclosed to one of the czar's aid-de-camps, who promptly order ed the arrest of 20,( officers and 25 men in various regiments. The discovery of : this plot has caused great consternation in court circles, more than any revolutiona ry movement throughout the em pire. ; . St. Petersburg, Dec. 2. The guards aarested at Tsarskoe-Salo Thureday night and Friday morn ing cumbered 250, including ten of ficers. ' Numerous rumors are cur rent, including the assertion that one of the grand dukes is involved in a conspiracy againBt the empe ror, but none of them can be veri fied, (it only seems certain that no confidence can be placed even in the guard regiments. Arrested sol diers are seen every day, escorted by comrades with drawn swords. St. Petersburg is swarming with Cossacks, the only troops against whom there is no suspicion ofdisaf fection. ' It is undersloDd that the whole Cossacks forces of the empire, some 65o,ooo, will be mobilized. CITY OF MOSCOW Forest Grove, Or., Dec. 2. A wrecked and empty vault, with sur rounding floor piled with debris, greeted the officers of the Farmers' & Mechanics' bank of this city, when they appeared for duty at that in stitution this morniDg.- Investiga tion showed that , the robbers had made a complete haul, not a cent being left. "The sum of $6,000 Is said to have . been secured. The burglary was committed between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning. En trance was gained through the front door of the office, which bad been broken open with a crowbar. The robbers then dug out the left side of the back vault, which was com posed of brick, making a hole about the size of a small washtub, giving access to the safe within. This had been appsrantly surrounded with nitroglycerine, and the charge blew the safe almost to pieces. . Between 1 arid 2 o'clock this the but the com- morning people living near building heard the reports thought they emanated from office of the News Printing pany and no at'tention was given to them. Mrs. D. Parsons beard the noise made by the pick used in dig ging the wall an ay from the safe, as it struck tbe brick, but thinking it was the patter of rain on tin gut ters nearby gave no farther thought to it. ; . .. The sledgehammer and some of tbe other tools have been identified by a local blacksmith. The pick bears the label "Section 64' and the crowbar is marked "S. P." The robbed institution is- operat ed by R: M. Dooley. While the exact amount stolen is not made known the rumors afloat place-it at $6,ooo. The- depositors will lose nothing, as the bank is covered ful ly with insurance. Sheriff Connell is here and with1 local ' authority is making every effort to locate the burglars. No clues are to be found so far, as the robbers left 1 absolute ly no trace as to their identity or whereabouts. " HUNDREDS OF HOUSES BURN ED BY THE REDS. Portland, Dec. 2.

Extends to Czar's Palace Troops Mutiny in Poland Strike Si lences all Telegraph wires. Other News. Warsaw, Poland, Dec. 3. A rail Way telegraph dispatch just receiv ed here from Moscow states that a great incendiary fire is raging there and that already hundreds of build ings have been destroyed. A few seconds after this informa tion bad been received here, the wife failed, so that no particulars could be ascertained. Berlin, Dec. 2. The Imperial Telegraph .department announces that the only Russian point still accessible by wire is Kieff. Com munication with St. Petersburg via Copenhagen has been interrupted since tms morning. Messages via Eydtluhlen continue to be forward ed from there by mail. Paris, Dec. 3. The Journal this morning publishes a St. Petersburg dispatch, : which '.was' carried to Eydtkuhnen (Eastern Prussia) by courier, which repeats the recent reports relative to a violent scene in. tbe palace at TsarskoeSelo. '. The. Journal says' that the trouble was" between ' Emperor Nicholas and Grand Duke Vladimir,' and was relative to Grand Duke Cyril. The paper adds: "It is oeitain that something ex traordinary occurred ( there besides the disaffection of the guard, and that the whole domestic staff at the palace is now preparing to strike. Warsaw, Dec. 2. As tbe effect ot tne czar s edict suspending mar tial law throughout Poland, alLpa trolsof troops have disappeared f.om the streets, although dragoons are still in reserve in the oourtyards and police stations. Here in War saw conditions are very quiet on the surface, although there is no certainty that they will long remain so, as the revolutionists are inclin ed to hold meetings, at which the most incendiary speeches are made and the people urged to rise against tbe czar. " Nearly every Russian establish ment and public structure in South ern Poland has been damaged by stones thrown through the windows while town pictures of the czar have been stolen and publicly burned by the ,,reds." - The reservists at Sembro, in the province of Lomza, revolted and de manded that they be returned to their homes, declaring that they would no longer act as police. The battalions of infantry were sent to suppress the trouble, but the officer in command, after approaching tbe barracks, marched his men back and told the colonel of the regi ment that the men would not 'fire on their comrades in the service. Disorders are reported among, the troops at the fortress at Ossowice, but no details are available. - . . The fact that tbe. postal - system is demoralized 'and the-, operators are on Btrike makes it impossible to learn how matters are going outside of the city. While the; experts ; of the signal cor ps have been, detailed to take 'the places - of the striking telegraph operators,' they, refuse to handle anything but official - mes sages, and even these are refused when they refer to rioting. : It is reported upon the - best au thority that revolutionists are ship ping bombs into the country from the Austrian frontier and. are arm ing all of their members,! so tbey will be ready for the struggle for a 'tree foland" wnen-' tne signal is given to strike. - - .

As the door opened the woman fired her revolver. , The bullet struck a but ton on the overcoat worn by Stur geon, which deflected it from its course.. . A second attempt to seize the wo man was made by a passenger on the train and the woman pointed the revolver through the transom above the door and fired. The bul let made three holes through the bat, and striking his right wrist, made a flesh wound. The passen gers Jleft the car in a pauic and the car was sidetracked. The woman gave warning of her purpose to secrete herself by shout ing, "They are after me; they are going to murder me. They want my blood. . The Etartled passen gers in the car saw the woman fly ing down the aisle of the car. She reached the closet, slammed the door shut, and those near beard the snap of the spring when she locked the door. While inside she scream ed continuously. Most of the time her utterances were incoherent, but at daylight she became more rational. "They want to kill me," she yelled again and again; "but I'll get five or six of them before they get me." While the watchers stood about the car in the, cold gray dawn of the early morning they were started to see the woman suddenly appear on the rear platform of the car. She' car ried her revolver in her hand, how ever,: and no effort was made to take her. . . Some, time during, the night the woman had broken the one window in the closet: ' When the police went around to the side of the car at daylight "they found that she had taken off her corset and hung it over the broken window.

Through an explosion in mine No. 1 of the Kemmerer Coal & Coke Co., at Diamondville, in Western Wy oming, shortly after midnight, 21 men are known to have lost their lives and 33 others are entombed. Relief parties are working heroic ally to reach the entombed men be fore the after damp claims them. The scene about the mouth of the shaft beggars description, wives, mothers, sisters and brothers being frantic in their appeals to . the res cuers to bring cut their loved ones. Many workmen near the entrance to the mine were injured by flying debris and a large force of physi cians is attending them. The cause of the disaster is unknown. It is reported that the mine is burning and that there is little hope of saving those entombed. Rescue gangs are making slow headway on account of gas and fire. Many . of the dead ate Americans. The explosion, it appears, was caused by a "windy" shot. Four years ago '62 miners were lost in this mine and their bodies buried for wteks. Five bodies were taken out by noon today. All five are those of Englishmen who came here recent ly from England. The full shift was . not at work. Immediately following, the explor sion sheets of ftameshot through the mouth of the shaft high into the air as though forced by giant fans'. The vicinity was illuminated for ; a quarter of a mile, then darkness and great clouds of.smoke followed. , In less than half an hour rescue gangs had been organized and start ed to work - systematically. The men working on the surface near the shaft were badly injured. - and given the first relief. As daylight approached the rescuers were able to work to better advantage. Slow ly they pierced the mass of debria and began finding bodies and corp ses, blackened and almost unrecog nizable except to, widows and ,chU-. dren who bad gathered about, with cries, of anguish urging the relief par ty to increase their efforts. - : - - - .
