FOR THE NORTHWEST
Liberal Treatment Received in
Rivers and Harbors Bill,
HARD FIGHT FOR CELILO CANAL
Oregon and Washington Improve
ments Have a Grand Total
of $1,345,000.
Washington, Jan. 2(1. In viow of tho
unprecedented paring down of river
and harbor appropriations tills year,
and in face of tho efforts of Republican
leaders in congress to enforce (lie most
rigid economy, thu Columbia river lias
been exceptionally well eared for In
the river and harbor bill just com
pleted by the house committee. Whilo
the appropriations are not as large as
asked for, they average up well along
side those made for other sections of tho
country; in fact, Chairman Burton ad
mitted today that he thought tho Pa
cific northwest had received moro lib
eral treatment than any other part of
thu country.
The appropriation which is most
gratifying to friends of tho Columbia
river is that which Insures the build
ing of The Dulles-Celllo canal. Mr.
Burton, backed by almost tho entire
committee, btood out against tills pro
ject moro persistently than against any
other proposition brought before him,
and it was only under Intense pressure
that ho yielded.
It was thu hope and Intent of tho
friends of this project to havo it mado
,n continuing contract. Could this havo
been done, the canal would havo passed
1 icy ond thu jurisdiction of tho river
and harbor committee and would have
received an annual appropriation in
thu sundry civil bill, In amount suffi
cient to pay for work as it progressed
until completed. Hut on this point
Mr. Burton was unyielding. Never
theless thu final action of the commit
tee Is In thu nature of a compromise,
for while an Immediate appropriation
of $50,000 is mode, tho army engineers
nro authorized to muko contracts for
$250,000, which is equivalent to an ap
propriation of $300,000. Tho $260,000
not carried by this bill will lie incor
porated in tho sundry civil bill next
session, in plenty of time, according to
the englners, to meet payments,
Thuru is strong hope that by tho time
tills money is expended congress will bo
willing to make the Culilo canal a con
tinuing contract, so that it need not
again be considered in the river mid
harbor bill.
Three other Columbia river appro
lirlatioiis are split up like for thu Culilo
canal. Three hundred thousand dol
lars is mado immediately available for
tho mouth of thu Columbia, mid thu
engineers are authorized to make con
tracts for t.'IOO.OOO additional, this lust
sum to be carried in the next sundry
civil bill. Likewise, for improving the
channel from Portland to the sea,
$100,000 Is appropriated in the river
and harbor bill, and $125,000 addi
tional will be carried in the next sun
dry civil bill. For dredging a 20-foot
channel between Vancouver and the
mouth of the Willamotto $30,000 cash
h appropriated, and another $30,000
will bo provided next year in tho sun
dry civil bill.
The following amounts are all used
or Washington:
Tucoiua hiirlmr, dredging Pnyallup
waterway, $40,000 cash; $20,000 in
sundry civil bill.
Likes i'nion mid Washington canal,
$125,000 for dredging at Ballard and
authorization of new survey to deter
mine whether a one-lock canal can lo
siidhNtltuted for thu two-lock project.
Grays IlarlKir, $30,000.
Inner Grays Harbor, $300,00,
Cowlitz, and 1iwis rivers, $10,000.
Puget sound ami tributaries, $30,000.
Snohomish slough, $5,000,
Okanogan and I 'end d'Orellle, $15,
000. Stretches rlflle, $115,000.
Bolllngham bay, $35,000.
Iherett harbor, new survey.
Shooting Down the Finns.
Helsingfors, Jan. 2(1. Although the
crowds on the streets were smaller to
night, there was severe fighting, Cos
sacks and police firing their revolvers,
Some 30 persons were wounded, of
whom nine were taken to the hospital
Three are sowruly wounded. Two
youths had their sculps cut and a third
was struck in the stomach by a bullet.
The demonstration is slackening, A
big demonstration was held upon the
arrival of I'iuus who had oeen expelled
from thu country ami who recently
were given permission to return.
Strikers Gain Concessions.
Hcwil, Jan. 2d. A crowd of strikers
today marched in priicession to tlie gov
ernor's residence, Thu governor ud
dressed them in a few words and allayed
their excitement. The strikers then
chose a deputation to present their de
mands to their employers, who were
gatheri ed in the governor's rooms.
The demands include eight hours as a
day s work and an increase of wages.
It is reported that tho results of tho in
terview were satisfactory.
" .
Seize Austrian Steamer.
Tokio, Jan. 2(1. Tho Japanese seized
the Austrian steamer Burma off Hok
kaido island at 0 o'clock last night.
She had a cargo of 4,000 tons of Cardiff
coal on board and was bound for Vladivostok.
WILL DIG CANAL.
Battle for Open River Between Cotito
and The Dalles is Won.
Washington, Jan. 25. Tho govern
ment will build tho Dallcs-Colilo canal.
This decision was reached by tho
rivers and harbors committee tonight
after several hours spent in final con
sideration of tho project. Tho rivers
and harbors bill, which will probably
bo reported to tho houso tomorrow, will
appropriate $50,000 cash for immediato
ubo on tho canal and will authorize tho
expenditure of $200,000 additional,
this monov to bo carried in tho sundry
civil bill, probably nt tho next session.
Todav'B action of tho committee com
mita tho government to tho canal pro
ject and insures tho ultlmato construc
tion of tlits waterway by tho govern
ment nt an aggregato cost of $3,800,000.
Tho fight to secure adoption of this
project Is ono of tho hardest that tho
friends of tho of tho Columbia river
Imvo ever been called upon to make.
In some ways It was harder than that
in behalf of tho Lewis and Clark bill last
session, for on that measure the dele
gation had tho active support of Presi
dent Roosevelt. This fight was mado
without such aid.
Senator Fulton, Representative Wil
liamson and Representative Jones havo
been working unitedly and unremitting
ly on behalf of thu Celllo canal project
ever since thu rivers and harbors com
mittee commenced framing its bill.
Representative Jones, by reason of liis
membership of tho committto, lias been
able to rendornnd has rendered most
valuable sorvlco.
IN CZAR'S PLACE.
Reformers Will Create a Provisional
Government In Russia.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 25, Russian
ofllclnls today stand aghast boforo tho
possibility of n provisional government
being established by a number of Lib
erals and moderate Socialists who, it Is
stated, aro men of wealth and position.
Tho authorities lost no time when this
report became known In arresting M.
Anncsky, one of the few leaders of this
latest movement whoso names nro
known to tho public, and It is stated
that Maxim Gorky, the novelist, also
identified with tho political revolt, has
received warning to withdraw from act
ivo participation if ho values his lib
erty. Others aro also stated to havo
been taken into custody, but their
names will not bo divulged at present
by thu olllclals.
At this hour It would seem as though
tho government had succeeded In im
pressing tho strikers with tho useless
ness of mob resistance to tho guns of
tho troops. Tho general, opinion Is,
therefore, that clashes will become less
frequent, and that those who consider
violence tho only fitting reply to tho
government's course will report to
bombs,
Ono Incident of this character, at
least, has already occurred, hut tho at
tempt was frustrated. Tho crowds, it
Is thought, may now scatter. Their
places will then, according to tho So
cialist leaders, he taken by small
groups of two or three, who will muko
their way to thu government buildings
and palaces, ami, by placing bombs, in
flict more damage and loss of lifu than
would hu in tlie power of thu full force
of strikers.
STATE OF SIEGE.
Will Be Proclaimed In Russian Capital
With Trepoff as Governor.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 25. St. Peters
burg will bo declared in a statu of siege
tomorrow. General Trepoff, until re
cently chief of police of Moscow, has
been upopintcd governor general of Ht.
Petersburg, and hah' taken up quarters
in tho winter palace, Strangely
enough, thu only precedent Is the case
of General Trepoff 'h father during thu
reign of Nihilistic terrorism under
Alexander II, and it Is also a strange
coincidence that unsuccessful attempts
were made on tho lives of both. Gen
eral Trepoff Is n man of gieat energy,
but thu measures ho udopted at Moscow
for thu suppression of tho student dem
onstrations in December last provoked
much resentment, and thu revolution
ists recently condemned him to death.
Anarchists Busy In London.
London, Jun. 25, A numhornf anar
chistH are known to lw hero who at
tended an international anarchist meet
ing in Ixindon on January 20. The
police say several minor gatherings
have been held in these quarters since
the reception of tho news from St.
Petersburg and that u big meeting is
called for January 20 in a notorious
hall in the Lust Lud for tho an
nounced purpose of expressing in-
diitnation at what the circulars
term us thu "St. Peterbsurg massa
cre."
Halls the Rising with Joy.
Tokio, Jun. 25. Thu Japuuesu uru
keenly watching the developments at
St. Petersburg. Thu newspapers pub
lish extras witli thu accounts of tho
riots, which aro eagerly read. Tho
people were shocked at the death roll.
A member of a foreign legation said;
"The war is over unless the Russian
people aro crushed with an iron heel,
It lias brought about a crisis, Tho
Jupuucsu army is now lighting thu bat
tle of tho Russluu people."
Bad for Kuropatkin.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 25. A new
grase danger bus arisen in thu inter
ruption of dispatch of supplies to the
front au a result of thu strike. Unless
somo means can hu found to secure the
provisions and other munitions of war
which were to bo started from St. Pe
tersburg on January 30, General Kuro
putkin's army may find Itself In a most
serious predicament.
HIS POWER IS GONE
Czar Has Been Forced to Yield
to Grand Bakes.
VLADIMIR AND SERGIUS RULE
Rioting and Bloodshed Spread to All
Parts of Emplro Revolution
Under Full Headway.
Llbatt, Russia, Jan. 24. Tho imper
ial yacht Standard is expected hero to
convey tho crar and ills family to Co
penhagen. Reports from St. Petersburg say that
tho actual government is no longer In
tho hands of tho car. This statement
is mado with deliberation and with a
full knowledge of tho day's doings.
Tho grand ducal cotorio, always power
ful, but until very recently hold in
check by tho people's pathetic faith
in tho power of tho "Llttlo White
Father," Is in absolute command.
Grand Duku Vladimir commands the
troops, and every order, whether It be
one of leniency or stern repression, it
issued by him. Grand Duko Scrglus is
stated to be in control of tho internal
situation.
Tho utmost secrecy is maintained aa
to tho czar's present whoreabouts.
Soma havo him atTsarskoo-Boto, others
at Poterhoff, still others insist that he
has been at tho winter palace right
along. All questions put to men in
authority on that score aro met with
tho very courteous reply that they
know as llttlo as tho Interrogator.
MOSCOW IN TURMOIL.
Workmen Force Closing of All the)
Large Factories.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 24. The moat
startling feature In tho situation to
night is tho nows that several factoriea
in Moscow have closed and that the
workmen in the old capital of Russia
aro repeating the tactics of their fellow
workmen of the new capital, marching
from shop to shop and mill to mill, de
manding that the establishment shut
down. The whole city is reported to
be in a state of great excitement over
the news of the bloodshed which has
precipitated immediately the strike
that had been scheduled for Wednesday.-
' . h'
Tho tension, which was somewhat
relaxed during tho morning, continued
to increaso during the day. Conditions
npiieared to lie omnious, when, shortly
after dark, tho workmen In two electric
light plants walked out, refusing triple
pay to remain, and plunging hall tho
eitv into litter darkness, lneliidlmr thu
pNovsky ProsjH'ot. Tho water supply
