W rftggP $mi THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, APRIL 1G, 1900. SHEEP ON RESERVE Regulations Under Which Graz ing Is Permitted. NO OREGON STOCK IN WASHINGTON So Fy I Ukelr to Be Exacted Un less Consrress Shall Hereafter Spe cifically Authorise It. WASHINGTON, April 1L Tho total cumber of sheep to be allowed on. the Mount Kalnler forest reserve during the coming season, under the recent order of Secretary Hitchcock, will be S50.000. This number Is practically the same as In pre vious years. Last season 280,000 were al lowed on the reserve, but as come of the sheep men placed their flocks on the re serve before the Secretary of the Interior fcwied order to that effect, there was xnuth dissatisfaction and friction In of ficial circles here, as it was felt that the cheep men were going beyond their Just rights. Cattle and horses ore, also, to be al lowed on the reserye, the number of cat tle .being limited to MOO and of horaos to lOOol These figures are baawl on the num ber of cattle and horses that have been estimated aa going on the reserve here tofore. Each man desiring the privilege of the range must make an application which, when approved by the department, will entitle him to a certain part of the re serve. It Is expected that the cattle men and sheep men will agree on the tracts that each will have and will divide up the total area aatlsfactorily. Superintendent Shelter, of the Washington state forest reserves, will take charge of this work and will report to the department. Each permit to graze will contain a qual ifying clause, which provides that those accepting the permit will pay such charge, per head, for their animals as the Sec retary of the Interior may hereinafter decide. According to previous suggestions and recommendations, the Secretary Is ex pected to favor a charge of 2 to I cents per head for sheep and 10 to 12V4 cents per head for cattle and horses. These figures are not definite, but are based upon the expressed views of Secretary Hitchcock. At present there Is no law giving the Secretary of the Interior specific authority to make any charge whatever for grazing purposes. Some hold that he has thll light, but he does not assume to have It. and will, therefore, ask Congress to grant him tho authority. If this authority : granted, then be will call upon the cattle men and sheep men for a grazing charge as Indicated above. Should Congress fall, however, to give him the deslrod authority, It la practically certain no charge will b made at all. The permits which are to be Issued will prohibit Oregon sheep or cattle grazing on the reserves In Washington. There has been much complaint regarding the inva sion of Oregon sheep and cattle In Wash ington, and It is now the purpose of th department to prevent such Invasion In the future and to reserve the grazing lands of Washington for the sheep and cattle men of that fitate. The forest supervlsore, acting under Superintendent Sheller, are expected to see that the rules and regulations of the department ore carried out and, aleo, that the grasa is not destroyed by over-grazing. Last Fall it was stated that the sheep men and cattle men of the North Yakima section had raised upwards pf $100) to send a committee to this city to assist In se curing recognition for their old-time lights and privileges of grazing In the mountains during the heat of the Summer. No com mittee of this kind has arrived here, and tho efforts of Senator Foster and .Con gressman Jones, who reside In the heart cf the grazing district, and Congressman Cushman have resulted in securing all that the Interested parties deslrod. Superintendent Sheller recommended that approximately 250,000 sheep be allowed to graze on the reserve this year. HI actual figures were a little less than the number allowed by the Secretary of the "Interior. The application blanks which the cattle and sheep men will have to sign, together with the form of the grazing permit to be lasued. are as follcws: Application for Shecp-Grazintc Friv Hcrc.

The recep tion tendered to General Gomez today on his way to Santo Domlngc caused great excitement, owing to tho efforts of the white and black parties to obtain the first recognition. Tne black party repre sented by the Cubano Libre, which con tinues occasional publications In defiance of the orders of the authorities, who had directed its suppression, sent o. tug to meet the steamer Maria Herrera at quar antine and succeeded In Inducing General Gomez to accompany them. Meanwhile, another tug, earning tho Civil Governor, General Castillo, the Mayor and other officials representing the dominant white party, was entirely ig nored by Gomez. The black party, highly elated, took the guest to landing, where an Immense crowd gatheied on the frail private wharf of a local boat club. This collapsed, and many were thrown Into the water, one being drowned. The official party declined to recognize General Gomez In consequence of his recognition of the black party, and there Is considerable excitement. When the procession passed through the city without either Civil Governor or Mayor, rioting was narrowly prevented by the vigorous action of the police under American officers. This afternoon all the clubs gave receptions to General Gomez, but the white party refused to attend any of them. i Spanish Minister Declined. CHICAGO, April IS.

Parisians Know Better Than to Waste Time and Money on tho Uncompleted Exposition. PARIS; April.lS,-Ilorlous weather fa vored the onenlntr of the Exposition to the general pubHo today, and enormous crowds flocked Into the grounas. Tne area ci the exhibition, however,. Is so great that nowhere was there any great rush. Th visitors were mainly composed of provin cials end foreigner. Comparatively few Parisians wera seen. Aware of the great backwardness of the preparations, they remained away for the most part. The management demanded two en trance tickets for morning admission, ono for afternoon admission and two during the evening, when the Eiffel tower and the palaces on the Champs de Mars were Illuminated. But there were absolutely no attractions provided, not even a band of music, and tho people promenaded In front of the empty and, in many cases, unfinished buildings and along roads where only In the case of the main ave nues had the work of paving been com pleted. Visitors who left the central ar teries found their pathway filled with pit falls and heaped with debris, some thor oughfares resembling mere bridle paths. The moving sidewalk, access to which cost 50 centimes, proved a great suc cess, and was Jammed all day. The Amer ican National Pavilion remained closed. So also did most of the other pavilions, for the reason that their Interiors are still unfinished. Berlin Papers Are Cynical. BERLIN, April 15. Tho Berlin papers, commenting on the speeches of President Loubet and M. Mlllerand at the opening of the Paris Exposition yesterday, refer to them as "hollow phrases." The Deutsche Tages Zeltung says: . "There Is no hope; no ground for hope, that the 20th century will be any mora peaceful than the ISth. nor that there will be any more fraternity, for International competition is growing more and mora keen all the while and Is drowning every other consideration." GERMAN MURDERER CONFESSED. Pretended to De n Musician, and Gave Potation ot Strychnine. BERLIN, April 15. A sensational caio of murder has Just come to light at Grunc wald, a popular suburb of Berlin. The murderer, Jaeirlcke, has confessed that he pretended to be a great magician and Induced his victim, Louise Bergner, to meet him and to drink a potation con taining strychnine, from which she died.

Last week's money tendency showed al most no change, except that the market was slightly firmer toward the end. The Bourse was quiet rather than otherwise. Coalers again showed another striking gain for the week, although the profes sional element has ceased to buy. Amer ican railways continue in good demand. Negotiations have been begun for renewal of the pig-Iron syndicate which expires wiw mo end of this year. The flour-mill proprietors of the Rhine provtnce,-West- pnaua, Hanover ana Hesse-Nassau are trying to organize a syndicate, with a view of raising the price of flour. The Vulcan Shipbuilding Company, ot Stettin, haa Just declared a dividend of 16 per cent, as against it and will add 2.000,000 marks to Its capital. According to official reports from the Camcroons, the revolt there is dying out, and orderly conditions are being resumed. This is understood to be due largely to the good offices "of American missionaries, who have acted as intermediaries in ne gotiations for a peaceful settlement with the Bull chief. The London Money Market. LONDON. April 15. Owing to the Eas tertide holidays, business on tho Stock Exchange last week was very quiet There was little change in nrlccs. which show a distinct firmness, and the market seems in a neoitny condition. Holders of Ameri cans have been realizing to such an ex tent as at one time to cause a reaction, but Americans closed better. Baltimore & Ohio ordinary rose on the week 1 point and Baltimore & Ohio preferred 3H points. Norfolk & Western common rose 1 and the preferred stock 1. In most other cases, the movement was downward, Penn sylvania and Union Paclfio each falling 1U. Mines were sluggish throughout the week. Money was In moderate demand, call monoy at 3 per cent; three months' bills, 4 to 4K per cent. Honors With United States. LONDON. April 16. The Dally News, commenting editorially upon tho corre spondence between Great Britain and tho United States on the "open door" In China, which was published in a blue book Saturday, says: "It gives a strong Impression that the United States recognized Lord Salisbury's incapacity to respect the tendency toward a partition of China. The honors are de cidedly with the United States, which took a much firmer and more impressive tone than had characterized the squeez able Lord Salisbury's previous communi cations with Russia and Germany."

WASHINGTON, April 15. TUa Senate will continue during the week to devote its attention to the Alaskan code bill, the Quay resolution and the bill provid ing for tho temporary government of the Philippine islanas. xnero aiao " " more or less sparring for place on the part of the friends of tne riicaragua canal bill, chief among whom Is Senator Morgan, of-Alabama. Possibly, also. Sen ators Frye and Hanna will mine an ci fort to bring the subsidy shipping bill up, but tho chances are that no move will be made In that direction until after some of the measures before the Senate are disposed of. Senator Carter will try on Monday to get a day fixed for a vote on the Alaskan bllt There are only two amendments ot Importance remaining to be acted upon 'n connection with that measure. .and It a thought these could bo disposed of at a very early date, if the" friends of the Alas kan bill would agree to assist In tho tak ing up of other legislation when It Is out of the way. Senator Morgan seems at pres ent inclined to hold up tho code measure until ho can receive some assurance on tha canal bill, but so far has apparently not been successful In that direction. There aleo is a notable disposition to use the Alaskan bin and the Philippine bill to delay the taking up of the subsidy bill. The Democrato In the Senate are practically united In opposition to tho subsidy proposition. Senator Lodge, In charge of tho Philippine bill, announces It to be his purpose to ask a vote on It whenever the Democrats make an open ing for such suggestion. Apparently, how ever, he is not very sanguine of success. Senator Hoar has given notice of a speech on the Philippine question on Tues day next, and ho is expected then fully to outline his views on tho question of expansion. Late in the week reports win De proo- ably made on some of the appropriation bills now In committee. It Is aleo prob able that a report will be made In the Clark case during th week. Tho report has been drafted In tho rough by Senators Chandler and Turley, and will be laid be fore the committee on elections as soon as completed. Senator Chandler announces It to be his purpose to ask to have the question taken up In the Senate as soon as the report is filed. Xnvnl Appropriation In the House. The week In the House will be largely taken up with the consideration ot the naval appropriation bill, over which thero promises to be a protracted struggle. Tho whole question of armor-plate, except that for the Maine. Wisconsin and Mis souri, will be fought out The minority members of the committee; led by Wheeler of Kentucky, will make a strong fight for the establishment of a Government ar mor factory as the best solution of the problem. An attempt will also bs made by tho minority of the committee for tha building of ships In Government yards. Before the naval bill Is taken up to morrow, Chairman Marsh, of the com mittee on military, will bo recognized to move .the passage. unde- euspens-'on of the rules, of the bill appropriating Jl.000.000 for the militia of the several states. Fri day will be given up to tho committee on war claims under the rules and Saturday has been set .aside for paying tribute to the memory of the late Representative Settle, of Kentucky. ALTGELD OX FATTISOJf. Why the Pennaylvnnlnn Cannot Rnn With Colonel Bryan. CinCAGO. April 15. Ex-Governor Alt gehl was spoken to today about tho sug gestion of nominating ex-Governor Paul son, ot Pennsylvania, as the running mate of Mr. Bryan. He said: "I notice that tho Palmer and Buckner newspapers of America aro urging his nomination. Those papers and those men who havo been very hostile to Mr. Bryan and are still hostile to what he repre sents, would llko to see him defeated, and yet wish to go with the Democratic party this year, are urging tho nomination of Mr. Pattlson. Personally, I believe that tho nomination of Mr. Pattlson for the Vice-Presidency would bo as great a mis fortune as the nomination we mado in 1S56 for that place, if not greater. Our candidate for that place In 'SO was at least positively with us on tho silver question; but ho did not command the confidence of our people on any other question, and greatly weakened our ticket Mr. Pattl son has not been positively with us on any proposition, and it Is safe to say that at least S6 per cent of the Democrats cf America would be disappointed at auch a nomination. For us to be guided by high principle in tho nomination ot a candidate for tho Presidency and then undertake to play old-fashioned, cheap politics In tho nomination of a candidate for tho Vice- Presidency would be unworthy of a great party, and would so far weaken that party as to make it Incapable of performing nny great mission for tho country or for hu manity. The Democracy must name a man for tho Vice-Presidency who possesses the same character, the same conviction and the same positive and aggressive force as the man who is to head the ticket "Let me say that I have great respect for Governor Pattlson as a man.

Rufus Wright tha millionaire manufacturer of rubber tires, who was shot during a scuffle for the pos session of a revolver In tho apartments of Mrs. Louisa Lottrldge. at the Leland Hotel yesterday, died today from the ef fects of the wound. The body of the mil lionaire Is at an undertaking-room, where an Inquest will be held tomorrow. It Is the opinion of the police that tho Coroner's Investigation will mark the close of a sensational case. A statement , by the deceased to Chief ot Detectives Colleran, that the shooting was accidental, will. It Is thought, clear Mrs. Lottrldge of all responsibility. Wright died with words of exculpation on his lips for tha woman whose revolver was responsible for his death. He persisted In saying that ho had the revolver in his hahd when it was discharged. Although he admits he can offer no evidence. Chief ot Detectives Colleran strongly belle vis thrst the weapon was not In the hands of Wright when It was dis charged. Captain Colleran sajs that Mis. Lottridgo 'said she could not remember whether the weapon was In her hand or In Wright's. He also clte3 the fact that Wright's beard Is not singed, as it would have been if the weapon had been dis charged close to his head, and his face Is not marked with powder. Captain Col leran says there Is nothing to show that he held a revolver very close to his face. Mrs. Lottrldge. In a statement made at the Police Station, said: "I cannot remember what led up to tho production of the revolver. I was talk ing to Mr. Wright when he asked me to show him a revolver of which he had spoken previously. I refused to do so, and we talked on other matters for a while. I remember that finally I went to my valise and took out my weapon, and when he saw It. Mr. Wright begged mo to throw It away. As I remember, ha tried to take the weapon from my hand, and we scuffled. I stood up and he was sitting on tho couch. I had hold of tha weapon when, with a sudden effort, ha tore the revolver from my grasp. He fell backward and I followed him. I managed to get hold of the butt of the weapon, he holding to the guard. As we strug gled, the weapon was discharged, and, bad as I felt from the liquor I had drunk. I could not help crying out In horror when I saw he was wounded. He fell back on the sofa and gasped that he was shot I laughed historically and told him he was all right. He insisted he had been wounded, and begged me to call a doctor. "I told him he was dreaming, and then set about caring for him. I took a hand kerchief from his pocket and attempted to stanch the flow ot blood from his neck, where the ball had entered. I saw at a glance that the revolver had done deadly work,- but I could not bring myself to tell any one of the occurrence. I waited on Mr. "Wright for two hours, possibly, be fore I summoned a doctor I was so overcome that I could not talk, and may have said things I ought not to have said, but the pressure I was laboring un der was the excuse for my actions. "The story that Mr. Wright cama to my room in the Interest of a friend Is false. He came to see me at my request He had known me long enough to coma at my least call. He was In good spirits when he entered the room. We drank; and talked of matters wh'ch concerned ourselves. We had a pleasant conversa tion until the revolver was. Introduced bRT chance, and the struggle which ended la his death." Who Mrs. Lottrldsre Is. BUFFALO. N. Y., April 15. Mrs. Louisa Lottridgo Is well known in Buffalo.
