ilG SfEAMSHIPS COMING ABHRORIAHB AJTD STRATHGYLE DOB BARLT XECT MONTH. Five Steamers for the Orient "Will Leave Portland la March , atari ae Xotca. The Oriental Maer Abergeidle sailed tram. Yokohama for this pert last Sat urday, ad wilt reach. Portland about March 12. Dodwett & Co. will also have the OohuaMe. at Portland for March load lag, or. If she Is not available, will sub stitute some other steamer to take her place. The Santa Fe Mae steamer Strath gyle arrived at San Diego Monday, and as soon as she gets clear of quarantine and discharges her Inward cargo she will come to Portland to load flour for the Orient. If she experiences the same de lay at quarantine that has been met by other steamers coming across from the Orient, she will not reach here much be fore the nth of Marob. The Doyu Manx, sow la port, will take a considerable quantity of flour In addition to her wheat and htsaber cargo, and the dm Branch, now n port, is at the Alblna mills load ing Sour for the Orient. The combined cargoes of these five steamers will give Portland's Oriental shipments next month quite a start, and sa there are enough ships In the river or near at hand to make up a grain fleet for March fully as large, and perhaps larger, than that of February, the year is starting In under very favorable auspices, and the prospects are bright for it prov ing the best on record. AGAINST THE! STEVEDORE. tJadgre Ha&ferd Holds the Steamship Gloaegrle Blameless. The suit of Lorenzo Btayton, a steve dore, against the steamer Glenogle, has been decided in favor of the steamer by Judge Hanford, at Taooma. Stayton was one of the stevedores loading cargo on the boat last spring, and while assisting to cover the hatch, after finishing the day's work, he fell through, a distance of 80 feet. He sustained injuries from which he will not recover for some months yet. Th company was alleged to be at fault because )ho lights were kept en deck, and the complainant also alleged that the boards covering the hatch were worn and Insecure. Judge Hanford held that, while a pas senger or employe who was unacquainted with the location of the hatch would have a cause for action on account of the own ers having no lights or guards, yet Stay ton, being employed by a stevedore firm and knowing perfectly the position of the hatch, had no claim. In addition the evi dence showed that the fall was due to his own haste and carelessness, and not to the hatch covering being defective. DOWN "WITH SCURVY. Nine- of the Crew of tke Inverclyde Were Affected. The British bark Inverclyde, arriving here Friday, loaded with cement for the Oreat Northern Railroad, 150 days from Hamburg, came Bear not 'reaching port on aeoount of the crew being affected with, scurvy, says the Port Townsend Leader, and the last few weeks of her voyage it was with difficulty that the ves sel was handled by the few sailors who wore able to do duty. Fortune, however, seemed to favor the craft, and she arrived In port without accident, and was towed from here to Seattle last night Tester day afternoon nine members of her crew were brought ashore, suffering from the sourvy to such an extent that they were unable to walk, and were taken in car riages to the marine hospital. Their legs wore badly swollen, and they seemed to suffer a great deal of pain. With the Oarers! attention and skilled medical treatment of the hospital, they will soon recover. STOCH TIMES LOST. Gray's Harbor Vessel Sent to Pusret Seand Quarantine Station. The schooner A. J. "West recently ar rived at Gray's Harbor from Honolulu, and, before being allowed to enter. Quar antine Officer Foster, of Port Townsend, W notified, and he Immediately ordered thOveseel to proceed to the Diamond Point qOu-anttne station, on Puget Sound, for inspection and fumigation. The owners of the craft raised a very vigorous kick against such a proceeding, as it necessi tated sending the vessel 203 miles or more from her port of loading, and also causes loss of time. Their kick, however, did no good, and the vessel is now at the sta tion beteg subjected to a thorough purifi cation. Marine Notes. The Doyu Maru was taking aboard lum ber yesterday, white waiting for the Gulf Stream to vacate a berth at Columbia Dock. The steamer Btxnors, which went around to the Sound from Astoria, was sold to the Alaska Interieiand Navigation Com pany for $12,090. The Gorman ships Chile and Margretha sailed from Astoria yesterday morning for Europe. The Ness also crossed out for Yladtvostock. leaving the lower harbor pretty well cleaned up on ships. The Asugjean ship C S. Bement was shipping Kir? crew Yesterday, but did not succeed In getting a full complement of hands la time to clear. She will prob ably clear today, and will be the laBt vessel of the February fleet. Swedish Steamer Aground. 8A0SKXBK, Germany, Feb. 27. The Swedish mall steamer Rex stranded off Lohmergut Island during a fog. Five stewardesses were drowned In attempting to leave the ship. The rest of the crew and the passengers and mail are still aboard. All Hands Lost la a Gale. ABKKDBBN. Feb. 27.

A strong cabin of Native Sons was in stituted on the East Side last evening, and took the name of Clinton Kelly's cabin, No. 23. Officers were elected and several new members initiated. A large number, who are on the application as charter members, will be brought In as soon as the new offi cers get In working shape. The order has an enthusiastic following on the East Side, from which a large number of members will doubtless be drawn at an early date to strengthen the Clinton Kelly's cabin. The grand officers taking part In the cere monies last evening were: Grand President Sol Blumauer, Vice-President James P. Moffett, Past President S. T. Jeffries. Grand Secretary E. D. White, Grand Financial Secretary Sam L. Beary, Mar shals William Wolf and Fred H Saylor and Sentinels L. Lucas and Ed Huffard. The following officers were elected to tho chairs of the new cabin: F. W. Hanson, past president; R. F. Robinson, president: A. W. Lambert, first vice-president; Wil lard A. Roberts, second vice-president; W. O. Stanard, third vice-president; mar shal, Fred R. Bishop, TJ. K. Hall, financial secretary: William Nledermark, recording secretary; V. C. Dunning, treasurer; J. W. Oberander, H. M. Lambert and George L. Boyntoh, trustees; B. Frank Dowell, In ner sentinel; W. Payne Crandall, outer sentinel. There are 29 of the most prominent Na tive Sons on the East Side on the list for initiation at the next meeting, which will be held at Dumping's Hall. Abernethy's cabin. No. L will give a reception at Elk's Hall Tuesday evening, next, to the mem bers of Clinton Kelly's cabin, to which all members of the order In good standing are cordially invited. o NEED OF COTTAGES. Many Will Be in Demand by Doern becher Employes. Now that the buildings for the Doern becher furniture factory are fairly started, the question arises as to where the large number of men can find houses. There are at present working for the firm at ChehallB 150 skilled cabinet-makers, over a third of whom have families, and will desire to live in the near vicinity ot their work. The site selected by the company is a much Isolated one, es pecially as regards small cottages. Mr. Doernbecher suggests to people owning property near the factory that they build some four and five-room houses. If this is done, he says he will guarantee the rental of at least 40 of them at a reasonable figure. He thought that suita ble cottages could be erected at a cost of less than $500, which, at this price, would yield a handsome return on the Investment. Several of the men, Mr. Doernbecher explained, have sufficient money to pur chase their own homes, and will proba bly do so when they have been here awhile and have looked over the sur roundings. But If these people have any houses empty, they will speedily be taken up by the new men whom the factory intends to engage as business increases, which they are sure will follow when the plant Is installed in ltd new home. Tho building Is rapidly going on towards completion. The foundation is already fin ished, and the rest of the structure la fairly started. By June 1 It is thought that the machinery will be running and furniture will be ready to ship for the company's extensive trade. in PERSONAL MENTION. Robert Foster, of Pendleton, Is at the Imperial.

McKay, County Physician, has returned from Chicago, where he at tended a national convention of county medical officers. While in the Windy City the thermometer registered about 20 degrees below zero most of the time, and the cold blasts from the Lakes howled through the streets lined with sky scrapers. The doctor says he fondly thought of Oregon each moment of his stay that he was not asleep, otad was rather gratified to observe that every other man he met who had tasted the evenness of temperature on the Pacific Coast during winter was of the same opinion. Traveling men on the train were tireless In describing the charms of Ore gon winters. Weather Prophet Pague sat shivering In the top of a building that al most touched the clouds, wearing one of the most homesick expressions seen in that city. In all of his trip Dr. McKay says he found that the Portland Hotel advertised Portland more than any other agency in the Northwest. It is not through advertising mediums, but comes from the constant praise bestowed by all traveling men and tourists. Oregon's name is brought to more lips In this man ner than any other. oi Bought a Philippine Island. PTTTSFIELD, Mass., Feb. 27.

This Is the first loco motive contract ever placed by tho railway in America. THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1900. PIPE LINE FOR NAPHTHA TO TAKE OH, FROM RUSSIAN FIELDS TO THE SEA. First Section 144 Miles Long Inter esting City of the Trana-Coucas-sla Turkestan Hotels. TDTLIS, Aug. 5. This City, with a pop ulation of more than 160.000, does not dif fer In interest In comparison with the Cities of Central Asia. The contrasts are so strong that the pleasures of Tiflls be come heightened after the journey across the Transcasplan deserts and life in the abominable caravansaries of Turkestan. Hero Is a City 1400 years old, with ruins of great age and a population to which all the races of Europe and Asia contrib ute, which still in its modern life has become young again, with all the comforts, 2v L ?lmw-i& x s . S...'fl3F2SB CTli5 Wt THE GEORGIAN CHURCH and luxuries of a Western capital at the disposal of tho stranger. Its streets are broad and well paved. Its parks and botanical gardens are picturesque. Its shops in the European quarter offer not only Russian, but London and Paris wares to the purchaser. The streets are lined with creditable buildings far from alto gether Russian In their architecture and characteristics, which have been modi fied by the semltropical conditions exist ing here. As for the hotel, there is but one opin ion. Last night there were three Ameri cans instead of ono at the dinner table. One was a. young clergyman from Boston who was making a rapid circuit by way of Berlin, Budapest, Bucharest, Odessa and Batum, to return via Constantinople. He had been in the Caucasus Mountains for a few days. The other was an engin eer from Pittsburg, who was to build the great pipe line for naphtha over the mountains to Batum, and he had just come from St. Petersburg, with the two days' drive over the mountains for the last stage of the journey. I had been liv ing in the hotels of Central Asia for some months, where the names are pretentious and the accommodations' shocking. It required not more than three minutes of discussion as to whether Hotel Londres was the best hotel in the world, or merely the best in the Russian Empire, to decide by unanimous judgment that tho former was its proper place. Of course none of us had been all over the world, but that made no difference. Here was a hotel that was clean and light, with perfect service and immaculate linen. The dinner was served on the balcony of the dining room, overlooking a private garden with flowers and fountains and electric lights, the River Kur just below. There were good things to eat, and good things to drink. Wo had no doubt left in our minds. Relief From Asiatic Hotels. This Is the place to dismiss finally the matter of travelers' accommodations on tho lino of the Transcasplan railway, It Is not likely that many will journey in that direction, but those who do would better know in advance. There is not the slightest semblance of what we consider comfort to be had at the hotels of Ask habad, Merv, Bokhara, Samarkand, Tash kond and the other points on the line whero strangers might stop. The build ings and their furnishings are primitive when they are new. Apparently there has been no thought of cleaning them since the day they were built. The beds are Intolerable for a sensitive person, and I was glad that the long course of training In the hotels of Spanish-American vil lages had rendered mo Indifferent to such non-essentials as cleanliness. Clean sheets were given me but once while I was across the Caspian. It is expected that travelers 'Will furnish their own bed linen, and those who do not are offered the fur nishings of some other bed. With my own pillow, steamer rug and towels, of course. It was not difficult to overcome all such trllflng things, but I wish I had been better advised before going how to prepare. As far as food is concerned, one need not suffer. He may order what he likes out of an ordinary Russian menu, with fair prospect of getting it, and if he is not Inquisitive as to the care of prepara tion and critical as to quality of the meats, he will fare very well. It Is a common thing, and no affront to the land lord, to forage among the markets for such fruits as appeal to the traveler, and bring them home to be served at his meals. The hotel servants, too, will exe cute commissions of the some sort, and I used1 to order melons and1 grapes brought from the markets daily. It Is necessary in that case to advance the money for the purchases, as the landlords of the hotels do not caray such accounts Tvith their guests. I am told that fair wines and liquors can be had at all these hotels. For myself, I have depended on the uni versal Russian peasant drink known as kvass, which comes in a number of forms. It is wholesome, palatable and cooling, and .always to be obtained. In all of these hotels throughout Cen tral Asia Ice is to be had, so that cool things to eat and drink are at hand. I was impressed, however, by the fact that even at Bokhara th6y have to reckon with tho iceman. The hotel therp, the best on the line. Is kept by a Polish Jew, whose thrifty daughter served my din ner. When I asked for more ice she pro tested, with the remark that It was cost ing just then 3 rubles a pood, and they could not afford to be generous. That rate, which equals In American money more than 4 cents a pound. Justified her economy. However, there is a compensa tion In the cost of fruit. At the same place I bought a bunch of Muscatel grapes In which there were 138 perfect grapes on the one stem,, .and for lt-T paid 2 kopecks, or 1 cent The presence of Mr. Foster hero at this l " . -.

He tells me that tho line is to be completed as rapidly as possible in order that It may be put' into service. Spring floods have been disastrous to the Transcaucasus Railway more than once, resulting in heavy loss to the oil producers at Batum, who had no other economical route by which to reach the Black Sea with their product. The construction of the pipe line will remove this threat, and in addition will facilitate shipments at all times. The line Is being constructed as an adjunct to the railway itself, with which It runs parallel, this meaning that like the railway It is a Government instT tutlon. The first part of the line to be finished will be from Mlchallovo to Batum, a dis tance of 144 miles. The grades of the railway in crossing the dlvld between me uaspmn ana ine .tsiacic seas are very heavy, and the capacity of the line has been much reduced by that fact. This j pipe line will cross the divide, pumps be ing used to force the naphtha to the hjgh- j est level, and from the summit to the sea at Batum gravity will continue the flow.

The oil will be brought from Baku to Mlchallovo in tank cars, as it is now, the distance being 418 miles, and then it will be turned over to the big tube, which is to be eight inches in diameter. Undoubtedly thl3 will be of great service in increasing the capacity of tho railway, and In all probability the pipe will be extended to Baku in the near future. The line is laid on the ground, along tho right of way of the railway, and after completion It is to be covered with earth. No excavation has been made for it. The pipe itself Is made at Mario pol, on the Sea of Azov. The mill In which it is .made was brought from the United States, with all Its machinery com plete, by the Russian-American company which had the contract for 125 miles of tho pipe. A Greek Baptism. Last evening at the vesper hour I climbed the mountainside to the little Georgian church of St. David, an ancient and highly picturesque sanctuary that is perched far above the City In a place most difficult of access. It is almost the first thing to be noticed by the stranger who looks at the mountains which surround the City, whatever his point of view. The Interest in reaching it is to obtain the view of the City from its churchyard, by all means the finest spot of Vantage that can be reached. I was so fortunate as to happen in just in time to attend a baptismal ceremony. According to the rite of the Greek church, as practiced In this ancient Georgian tem ple, the youngster in question, a fine boy 4 or 5 weeks old, had to be Immersed three times In a baptismal font filled with Georgian Woman of the Upper Class, Tiais. water, each time to be completely covered, in addition to various (blessings and anoint ings with holy oil, and several long pray1 ers. Not more than half a dozen persons were In the church, and I was made heart ily welcome. The benevolent-looking old priest proved himself a man of kindly thoughtfulness. While the family group around the baby was getting him. properly unclad, for the ceremony requires that the child shall be naked, the priest sur reptitiously dipped his finger into the font, and I saw by his face that it was too cold. Then he stepped behind a screen, whero his samovar was steaming, emptied the hot water Into a pitcher, and while the family atlll kept busy over the baby he poured enough to temper the pool that had beep provided for the shorn lamb. The result was that the little fellow took his plunges without a murmur, and thereby distinguished himself. Afterward, when, In harmony with what appeared to be the practice, I was congratulating the woman whom I supposed to be the mother of the child, I found that neither mother nor father was there at all, as it Is forbidden for the parents to "be present at such cere mony. The grandmother of the baby was in charge, and the others were but neigh bors. TRUMBULL WHITE. Trolley Lines on the Hudson. NEW YORK, Feb. 27. A bill pending in the New York Legislature repeals the act forbidding the construction of rail roads on tho Albany and New York post road, which is a continuation of Broad way. The bill is said to be in the inter est of a syndicate in which John D. Rocke feller, Levi P. Morton and J. P. Morgan are reported to be interested. This syn dicate, it is said, proposes to construct trolley-car lines between the more pros perous Hudson River towns, and then con nect these lines so as to form, a continu ous line from New York to Albany. i c "Winter in the Ad Iron docks. PLATTSBURG, N. Y., Feb. 27. Last night was probably the coldest of the winter In the Adlrondacks region. Jt was 12 below zero at daylight this morning, 14 below at Malone, and 22 below at Sar anac Lake. iMiift COEUR D'AIENE CRIMES FEARFUL DEEDS NOW UNDERGOING INVESTIGATION. Murder and Arson Were Common, and But Few of the Criminals Are Punished. WARDNER, Idaho, Feb. 25. (To the Editor.) Much has been written anent the Congressional investigation now being held at Washington, to ascertain the exact sta tus, of the Coeur d'Alene insurrection of April last and the subsequent action taken by the State and National Administrations to crush anarchy and restore law and or der in the turbulent and obscure silver and lead camps of Northern Idaho. Pessimistic political demagogues, with out knowledge of conditions and in utter disregard of facts, have told tales befit applicable to support of a superficial the ory for remodeling the system of wage earning, thus drawing seemingly sound conclusions from false premises. In this dissemination of bombast, they have been ably assisted by the so-called reform pa pers, and also the deformed ones with the sunflower tinge, which toy with the preju dices and. sympathies of the mentally oblique, who worship at the shrine of Bry anlsm. Agitation galore about violations of Constitutional rights. Infringement of personal liberties, alliance of capital and militarism to crush unionism, corporate aggrandizement and arrogance, corrupt judiciary, Administration tyranny, despotic officials, Weylerllke butchering, barbarous tortures, starvation and exposure of tho miners confined in the bullpen, more pic turesquely described by the eloquent apos tles of anarchy as "Steunenberg's hell hole" and the Andersonvllle of the Cceur d'Alenes. These sensational generalities, when cir culated throughout the country by the unscrupulous notoriety-eekers, created more or less agitation in the ranks of or ganized labor. As a result, resolutions, petitions, protests and memorials flooded the White House, demanding the rights and liberty of the so-called oppressed and martyred miners. The controversy, from Its Inception, Is not comprehended by the general public. In a recent article In The Oregonlan, a de tailed history was given of the diabolical crimes committed in the blood-bathed val leys of the sin-cursed mining district. The Initial Outrage. The first serious outbreak was in 1892, when armed and masked union miners at Gem charged upon the Helena-Frisco mine, shot down non-union miners and blew the valuable property to smith ereens with dynamite. After completing this work, the mob marched down the can yon to Wardner and drove the Bunker Hill & Sullivan miners to the hills and hunted and shot them like wild beasts. The anniversary of this riot of assassi nation has been duly celebrated by memo rial services at the graves of the so- called heroes who lost their lives while engaged in the work of murder and de struction. Governor Norman Willey at that time declared martial law. and while the troops wero on the ground the miners remained passive. Strenuous efforts were made by politicians and labor unions, who broucht great pressure to bear upon the Admin istration, and after several months the troops were removed. Having the un wholesome restraint of soldiers no longer to fear, the miners again Inaugurated the old system of terrorizing and bulldozing. From that time to the Insurrection of April last the history of the Coeur d'Alenes Is one horrible story of murder, arson, brutality and lawlessness. No one could do business in that section unlesi he sanctioned and indorsed the crimes of the unions. Any person's protest against tho policy of the criminal organization, or a miner's refusal to become a member of it was an act for which punishment was death or being hounded from the country. Crimes were committed in the broad light of day on the public streets and highways without fear of punishment as the officials elected to maintain law and order were members or sympathizers of the unions and protected the offenders in their carnival of crime. An Era of Blood. Tho brazen audacity and diabolical cun ning In blowing up the Bunker Hill & Sullivan concentrator and the -murder ot non-union miners was the consummation of an era of blood. This frightful deed necessitated drastic measures on the part of the State Administration . punish the criminals and break up vicious organiza tion. Governor Steunenberg was equal to the emergency, and issued a proclama tion declaring martial law. Affairs were placed in charge of State Auditor Bartlett Sinclair, a conservative and conscientious official, who used excellent Judgment and tact In dealing with the complicated sit uation. Troops arrived on the scene and implicated miners were arrested by the hundred. .For convenience in holding nearly 1000 men, a building was construct ed and surrounded by a high barbed-wlro fence, which enclosure has been chris tened the bullpen. Governor Steunenbere retained the best legal talent of Idaho. Hawley & Borah, of Boise, and Judge Forney, of Moscow, to make war upon the dynamiters and purge anarchy from that miserable crime-ridden district. The first step necessary to restore per manent law and order was to remove the anarchistic County officials, and to this end Impeachment proceedings were Insti tued, which resulted in the removal of Sheriff Young and the County Commis sioners, who were in collusion with the rioters and refused to take action on the matter contrary to their sentiments, their oaths of office notwithstanding. Their places were filled with officials who could be relied upon to perform their sworn duties. This proceeding created no end of legal quibbling and abuse of the officials by the miners, who- realized that their race was run when officials were In power who were earnest in their efforts for the restoration of order In the country. About the Bullpen. Stories of the inhuman treatment of the "bullpen prisoners" were Invented and cir culated to secure sympathy and funds for the defense of the criminals. Every mis representation and argument was em ployed to make It appear that the arrest and detention of the miners was a com bination of capital and the military, abetted by the State Administration, to crush union labor, instead of an effort to punish appalling crime. The treatment of tho confined men was all that could be expected under the circumstances. They were furnished with plenty of whole some food and given a dry, warm place to sleep, and every favor possible was ex tended them that was compatible with the maintenance of discipline In a body of men consisting mostly of vicious and mutinous foreigners. The first man tried was Paul Corcoran, secretary of the Burko Union. The evi dence showed that the uprising was not of spontaneous origin, but had been cun ningly planned and the work of destruc tion carried out. The legal probing showed that the miners' unions were under the supervision of the Western Federation of Miners, from which body they received their charter, rules and by-laws and by Which they were instructed and advised. The Anarchist Boyce. President Ed Boyce, of the federation, was formerly a Coeur d'Alene miner and gained his first notoriety in that section. On one occasion he served a term ot H months at Boise for violating a restraining order of United States Judge Beatty duriixr the labor troubles, and In 1892 was sent to the House of Correction; at De troit for conspiracy in the riots. He la an irresponsible criminal and anarchist who preaches the doctrine of dynamite and the sword. At a convention of the Western Federation of Miners at Salt Lake, Ed Boyce advocated the forming of rifle' clubs In connection with the miners I unions. In & letter to Samuel Gompers, president of the 'Federation of Labor. Boyce repudiates the principles of trades unions on the ground that they are too conservative and 100 years behind the times, and hints that the way to win the battles of organized labor Is by armed rebellion against the Government. Several days before the dastardly out rage in Shoshone County, Boyce was on the ground devising plans for the min ers to pursue to settle their diffloultles. Delegates were appointed by the unions to serve on a committee called the Cen tral Union. The action taken by this committee was kept secret and the in structions given to the union by these delegates were implicitly obeyed. On the morning of tho riot the devilish plot hatched under tho guidance of Ed Boyce was put in execution. A special meeting of tho various unions was called. The miners were given guns and masks, and instructed to go to Wardner. A train was forcibly taken, and a concerted movement made upon the Bunker Hill & Sullivan property, where the hellish design of murder and arson was carried into exe cution. Sovereign's Part in the Crimes. After the commission of tho crime, at which the civilized world stood aghast, J. R. Sovereign, the mouthpiece of the min ers' unions, condoned the act and made a vigorous defense of the deed In his paper. He stated that it was "sometimes necessary to encroach on Tecognlzed rights to correct flagrant abuses," or, in other words, in order to gain an end, it was excusable to murder a dozen or two min ers and destroy hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property. He made the statement that the Bunker Hill could never operate their property without the protection of the troops and, in tho next breath, lashed himself Into a fury over the presence of troops In a district where tho miners were passive and law-abiding citizens. Sovereign and Boyce, by send ing out appeals for financial assistance. In which they worked on the sympathies of the trades unions of the country by grave misrepresentation, secured a large sum of money, estimated at $300,000, part of which they used as & fund for the de fense of the miners. Conviction of a Dozen Criminals. Senator Patrick Reddy, of Son Fran cisco, was employed as chief counsel to clear the criminals. Money was expended with a lavish hand on every side. Every obstacle known to jurisprudence was res urrected to defeat the ends of justice. After the hardestfought legal battle in the criminal annals of Idaho, Paul Cor coran was found guilty of murder and conspiracy and sentenced to 17 years at hard labor In the penitentiary at Boise. Court then adjourned, and before It again convened for the trial of the other rIngloadeTs,some of the agents of the union used some of the corruption fund to bribe a guard and allow the eight vicious anarchists who were to be next tried to escape. They were furnished with plenty of funds, ard are now undoubtedly sojourning in a different section of the globe. The cases were then transferred to the Jurisdiction of the Federal Court at Mos cow. United States Prosecuting Attorney Cozier, after a hard fight, succeeded In convicting 11 of the dynamiters of con spiracy and obstructing the malls. They were sentenced by Judge Beatty to 21 months In the San Quentln prison. Congressional Investigation. Boyce, Sovereign, Breen and other self appointed champions of crimes committed in tho name of organized labor, have been noisily clamoring for a Congressional Invedtlgatlon of the acts of the military and civil authorities during the troubles. General Merrlam. Governor Steunenberg, State Auditor Sinclair and all of the friends of law and order have courted a fair Congressional Investigation, as that would effectually repudiate the false charges made by the calamity howlers, showing the world the true character of the miners' unions, and exonerating every step taken by the authorities and Illustrating the difficulties thrown in the path of the officials and the tremendous task devolving upon them, to restore Shoshone County to a law-abiding dis trict, where the rights of life and prop erty would be recognized as in other sec tions of this country. The cry raised was that It was ait effort to persecute and crush labor. Instead, of trying to punish crime. The fight made was not against a union, but against an organization bound by criminal sympa thies and blood-curdling oaths to obey the mandate of assassination and destruction. An organization which made its members social Ishmaelites used the American flag for a mask to hide tho fierce demoniacal foreign features of the votaries of out lawry, while engaged in diabolical tres pass against the laws of humanity and the land, in which their slogan was "To hell with America." . F. T. L. EAST SIDE STREETS. Improvements Now In Prospect Fu neral of Anthony WhitaUer. A big lot of street improvements and sewers are to be undertaken in Upper Al blna. Councilman Jameson said yesterday that the improvement of Rodney avenue, from Hancock to Knott street Is assured. Eugene and Sacramento streets are to bo improved from Williams avenue to Un'on avenue, a distance of 1200 feet each. Til lamook street will be Improved from Will iams avenue to Seventh street, and San Rafael from Williams avenue to East Sev enth, a distance of 1800 feet each. Han cock may also be improved, but there is nothing certain about it Sewers are to go on Sacramento, Eugene and San Ra fael streets at once, and they will be down before the streets are Improved, thus do ing away with the need of tearing up the streets after they have been graveled. The intention is, says Councilman Jameson, to improve these streets with cement gravel, and it will bo brought from the Woodlawn pit He says that the Portland Railway Company will bring In this gravel by flat cars, delivering It at the streets at a low price. Engineer Chase has estimated that it will cost on an average of only $35 per lot to Improve under these conditions. There Is little or no grading to do. This was done en the streets mentioned long ago. All that will be needed will be to level the surface of the streets. Council man Jameson would like the people of his ward to know that now la a good time to Improve. If the Portland Railway Com pany will bring In this gravel from Wood lawn cheap it will be a snap for all those who want to Improve streets. The op portunity may not come again very soon. To Improve by gravel usually costs above $65 per lot, but. according to the City En gineer, the cost of graveling the graded streets of Upper Alblna will not be above $33, which Is quite a difference.

Today's state ment of tho condition of the Treasury shows: Available cash balance $300,216,G-i3 Gold reserve 231,264,3(3 VERY FEW PEOPLE Are Free From Some Form of Indi gestion. Very few people are free from soma form of Indigestion, but scarcely two will have the same symptoms. Some suffer moot directly after eating, bloating from gas in stoma i and bowels, others have heartburn or sour risings, still others have palpitation of heart, headaches, sleeplessness, pains in oneet and under shoulder blades, some have ex treme nervousness, as in nervous dys pepsia. But whatever the symptoms may be, the cause in all eases of indigestion is tho same, that is, the stomach for some rea son fails to properly and promptly digest what is eaten. This is the whole story of. stomaeb troubles hva nutshell. The stomach must have rest and assistance, and Stuart'3 Dyspepsia Tablets give it both by sup plying tibose natural digestives which every weak stomach lacks, owing to the failure of the peptic glands ra the stom ach to secrete sufficient odd and pepeia to thoroughly digest and assimilate the food eaten. One grain of the active principle in Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3000 grains of meat eggs or other wholesome food, and this claim has been proven by actual experiment which any one can per form for himself in the following man ner: Cut hard-boiled egg into very small pieces, as it would be if masticated, place the 6gs and two or three of the tablets in a bottle or jar eontainine warm, water. heated to 98 degrees (the temperature of the body) and keep it at this temperature for three and one-half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as com pletely digested as tt would have been in the healthy stomach of a hungry boy The point of this experiment is that what Stuarf 3 Dyspepsia Tablets will do to tho egg in the bottle it will do to tho egg or meat in the stomach, and nothing else will rest and invigorate the stomach so safely and effectually. Even a little child can take Stuart's Tablets with safe ty and benefit if its digestion Is weak, and the thousands of cures accomplished by their regular dally use are easily ex plained when it is understood that they are composed of vegetable essences, asep tic pepsin, diastase and Golden Seal. which mingle with the food and digest it thoroughly, giving the overworked stom ach a chance to recuperate Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither do pills and cathartic medicines, which simply irritate and inflame the Intestines. When enough food is eaten and prompt ly digested there will be no constipation, nor in fact wiH there be disease of any kind, because good digestion means good health in every organ. The merit and success of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets are world-wide, and they are sold at the moderate priee of 30 cents for fun-sized package hi every drug store in the United Skates and Caaada, as well as in Europe.
