MR. BREEDERS NOTABLE ACT Xamlns the General Executive Com mittee of Thirty-Five Getting? Ready for Canvass for Subscriptions. At the meeting held yesterday afternoon, at the office of the Chamber of Commerce, 246 "Washington street, the general execu tlve' committee for setting the Lewis & Clark Exposition corporation In motion was appointed. H. C. Breeden, who had H. C. Breeden. previously opposed the celebration, came in with a hearty Indorsement of the en terprise and subscribed for $1000 of Btock, and E. W. Rowe, who was superintendent of the recent Portland Carnival and Ex position, contributed a subscription of $450, the sum which he received for pay as such superintendent. It was also understood that he would make a further subscription on Independent grounds. The committee of five appointed at Tues day's meeting to select a general executive committee reported- the following 33' names: II. W. Corbett, P. L. Willis, E. T. Williams, IV. W. Cotton, W. L. Boise, A. B. Steinbach, H. C. Breeden, Paul Wesslnser, Chas. F Beebc, Julius Li. Meier, W. H. Hurlburt, D. 31. Donnugh, II. W. Scott, It. D. Iniunn, H. Wittenberg, J. T. Morgan, A. II.

Steinbach tne secretary was di rected to notityeach of the men selected and ask each to answer and say whether he would serve on the committee or not. The chafr asked who should rill the places of any who might decline to accept the appointment on this committee, and It was voted, on motion of General Sum mers, that the original nominating com mittee of Ave should have power to till all vacancies that might occur. Leo Fried moved that there be a roll call of the committee in order that those present might signify at once whether they would serve, and reduce the work of getting answers from all members. This was agreed to, and on call of the roll Messrs. Corbett, Scott, Devers, Willis, Haseltlne, Bailey, Boise, Breyman, "Wolfe, Steinbach, Beacn, Breeden, Wesslnger, Fried, Cruthers, McKenna and Donaugh aswered that they would serve. General Summers and Fred T. Merrill wanted time to consider the matter. The others were absent. Chairman Corbett announced the first meet.ng of the committee for 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the olfice of the Chamber of Commerce, 246 Washington street, and the secretary was directed to ask those who had not already assented to say by that time whether they could serve on the committee. Contribution From E. AV. Itotve. The following letter from Superintend ent E. W. Rowe, of the recent Portland Carnival and Exposition, was read: Portland, Or., Nov. 7, 1001. Hon. H. W. Corbett, Portland, Or. My Dear air: I take pleasure in subscribing to 45 shares of the capital stock of tho Lewis and Clark Expo sition. The par value of these shares, which is $430, la the full amount of my compensa tion as superintendent of the Portland Car- ,nial, held at the Exposition building and on Multnomah Field In the months of Sep tember and October. My salary as superin tendent of the Carnival came from the people of Portland, and I desire to return the amount. to them and to have it deoted to a purpose that will be prodUcthe of the great est amount of good to the entire Pacific North west. Yours respectfully, E. W. ROWE. This letter was received with a round of hearty applause. Form of Subscription. The form of subscription heading to be signed by those taking stock In the cor poration for the celebration- of 1905 was then taken up and the secretary read the following, which had been prepared by P. L. Willis: .We, the undersigned, do hereby subscribe for the number set opposite our respective names, below, of shares of the capital Aock of "Lewis and Clark Centennial and Ameri can Pacific Exposition and Oriental Fair," a corporation of Portland, Or., and hereby agree with each other, and with said corporation. that we will take said shares so subscribed for, and pay said corporation therefor, at such time or times as such payment shall be required by its directors. The capital stock of said corporation is $300,000 and is divided into 30,000 shares of $19 each. The blank below this heading is divided Into three columns, the first of which will contain -the names of subscribers, the second the number of shares of stock sub scribed for and the third the par value of the subscription. On the particular pa per In the hands of the secretary there loomed the subscription of Mr. Corbett for 3000 shares of stock, of the par value of $20,000, the only condition belnc that frlaTflffHmftii r iHFrwrir ' all the $300,000 of stock should be taken. Applause greeted the reading of this sub scription. Alex Sweek said he thought the heading for the subscriptions should contain a waiver of notice for the first meeting, as it would be Inconvenient to be com pelled to go through the regular statutory forms In calling a meeting for organiza tion. Mr. Willis did not think a waiver necessary, and If it were necessary, he said, It should be on a separate paper. But It would take some time to get all the stock subscribed, and ample notice should be given of the first stockholders' meeting without wasting any time-. H. C. Breeden Converted. H. C Breeden, who has been well known as an opponent of the Lewis and Clark celebration project, took the floor and everybody was Instantly Interested In. what he should say. Said he: It is well known in this community that I have been opposed to the Lewis and Clark Centennial celebration, for reasons that I have often -expressed. But now that it has reached the point where the people of the City of Portland and Qf the whole Pacific Northwest think it fitting? and proper that there should be a celebration here of thl3 great historical event, I think it time that every man, woman and child in Portland. I might say in the entire state, shpuld be In faor of It and In every way aid it to final success, which can only be achieved by union of forces and hearty co-operation in all the plans that may be formulated. The citizens of Portland should set an example and leave no lingering doubt as to the financial support the celebra tion will receive here. Nothing succeeds like success, and if the committee shall succeed in securing all the subscription to stock in a brief space of time, U will have a great in fluence upon all the people from whom the enterprise should draw support. Portland has the reputation of being conservative in all things, and it should maintain this reputation by keening Us, plans for this celebration with in the bounds of its financial strensth. In other words, we should profit by the ex perience of Buffalo in order that we shall not find ourselvca in debt at the end of the 1003 celebration. The direct benefits that this city and tho whole Pacific Northwest will derive from tho great fair will be many and Important. It will call the attention of all civilized people to this part of the world and they will want to examine this great and growing country. To show my faith by my work, I will subscribe for B0 shares of the stock of the corporation. A few minutes later Mr. Breeden be came convinced that he could afford to support the Institution more liberally, and when he came to Inscribe his namCon the subscription list it was for 100 shares of a par value of. $1000. This convert to the cause of the Lewis and Clark celebration received a warm welcome. Manner of Canvassing. The manner of going after the subscrip tions was discussed to some extent. Gen eral Summers thought that when it should come to the actual work of soliciting subscriptions the committee would need be three times as large as It Is. It was evident, he said, that many outside the committee must take hold and do hard work. He thought the local canvass could be completed within two weeks, but there would be delay in closing with corporations having non-resident officers, who must be consulted. It was likely, he said, that when the books should be closed It would be found that the total of local subscriptions would bo nearer $500,000 than $3C0,0J0. Chairman Corbett said the executive committee expected to appoint others to aid It In taking the sub scriptions, but the members of the com mittee would do as much o the work as should be found practicable; the com mittee had been selected with this end In view. "We must employ some degree of policy about the matter, too," said General Sum mers. "We all know that some people can deal with certain people better than others can, and we should arrange so that our efforts will not be misapplied." W. L. Boise asked the members of the executive committee to give thought to plans for taking the subscriptions so as to be ready with suggestions at the meet ing held tomorrow. He deemed it de sirable that a list of all those likely to subscribe large sums, say $1000 or more, be made, and thaf the Influential mem bers of the committee see those people and get their subscriptions before the miscellaneous canvass should be begun. That would get the leaders In the com munity headed In the right way, he said, and then there would be no excuse for the smaller ones to hold out and wait to sec what the "big fellows" would do. A. H. Devers said the executive com mittee should set a good example, and that the members should attend the meeting tomorrow prepared to make their subscriptions to the stock corporation. "This Is no common affair," said he. "We have never undertaken such a celebration before, and we never shall again. The occasion Is extraordinary, and we must make extraordinary subscriptions. Every member ought to come prepared tomor row." r The meeting adjourned subject to call ofthe chair when It should be time to organize the corporation. LUKBAH IS WEAKENING. Americana Will .Starve Him Into Sub mission. CATBALOGAN, Samar, Nov. 7. The few Filipinos who arc surrendering say that the Insurgent leader Lukban's pro visions are exhausted and that he and his men are living on a scanty supply of sweet potatoes. Lirkban Is being strongly urged to surrender. He Js weak ening and It is believed he will yield by November 10, owing to the blockade mak ing It Impossible for him to procure more, food. The Insurgents are described as being In great fear of the soldiers. First Lieutenant Robert T. Crawford, of the First Infantry, a sergeant and five men, while attempting to cross tho Babyon River In Samar, were drowned. The insurgents are becoming more act ive In Leyte. Yesterday the town of Mat talon was attacked. At Inopacan, the ln curgents cut the telegraph line.

When tho trouble began the rebellious prisoners had only two revolvers. These revolvers had been secreted In one 'of the walls of the building by some un known person. There are two walls partly completed and the rest of the site of the building Is surounded by a high wooden stockade. Gus Parker, of Ardmore, I. T., one of the ringleaders of the mutiny, walked to the corner, of the stockade, where the revolvers were concealed, and, under cover of some weeds, secured them with out being dectected. He returned to the gang and passed one of the revolvers to Frank Thompson, a negro from South McAlester, I. T., who secreted It about his person. When E. Hinds, superin tendent of construction, and three un armed guards prepared to round up the men at the end of the day's work, the two armed convicts covered them with revolvers. and. encouraged by the other ., ' ,. , a u . mutinous convicts, forced the men to walk before them toward the northwest corner of the stockade, where they ex pected to make a rush through an open ing The outside of the stockade was guard- appeared at the opening they were met dv j.

Trelford resisted the con victs and was shot twice, but not dan gerously wounded. Defeated In their at tempt to escape at this point, the men rushed to the guardhouse, a temporary frame structure where the arms are kept. The guards from the outside rushed in at this point and drove the convicts away from the guard house. J. P. Wal drupe, a guard, shot and killed Ford Qulnn, from Ryan. I. T. The prisoners then made a rush for the main entrance, and 26 of them succeeded In escaping. Most of the escaped men are from Indian Territory. Closely fol lowed by the guard, the men ran to a nearby forest and succeeded In evading their pursuers. The men went In the di rection of Eagton, Kan., and It Is' re ported here that they have held up many farmers, taking horses and clothes en rout Tho convicts, In their flight, compelled F. E. Hinds, superintendent of construc tion, to so with them, and he was not allowed to return until they had gone almost two miles. W. F. Peasless, one of the fugitives, who has but 15 months more to serve, deserted the band a few moments after Superintendent Hinds was released. The two men reached hero almost at the same time. They reported that tho fugitives, after holding a con sultation, decided that they would form themselves Into several small parties, so that some might escape though others should be captured. It Is the Intention of all of them to attempt to reach the rough country southeast of here. Twenty-four members of the Fourth Cavalry hastened to the scene of the trouble, but when they arrived the con victs had escaped and the soldlera could not participate In the chase without or ders from their superiors. Forty armed guards from the Federal prison are In pursuit of tho fugitives. The wounded men are In the prison hospital. J. B. Waldrup was shot In the head, and Is In a precarious condition. C. E. Burrows was shot twice in the neck, re cervlne serious wounds. Arthur Trel- ford was shot in the leg, but his wound Is slight. Andrew Leonard, a guard. Is in' the hospital with a broken leg. He was hurt as the prisoners were escaping through the main entrance of the stock ade. One of the fugitives, named Otter, was shot, but he was able to go with the others, and the extent of his Injury is unknown. The course that the fugitives have taken Is indicated by the localities in which they have committed depredations. Many of their robberies are being, re ported here tonight S. A. Davison, a farmer 10 miles southwest of here, was robbed of a horsp and some clothing. Three of his employes were robbed of their coats and hats. C. T. Ferguson, a mail-carrier, was robbed of his horse and cart. No report of the pursuers having encountered any of the fugitives has reached here at midnight. Major R. W. McCloughry. warden of the ponltentlary, was In Kansas City at the time of the outbreak, making ar rangements for the congress of Prison Wardens to be held there next week. REPLY TO BRIGANDS TERMS Agreement no to the Amount of the Ransom Han Been Reached. SOFIA, Nov. 7. Yesterday Mr. Dlckin- - 3o skeptical Is human kind. That people are Inclined To doubt the recent rumor, That Dick Croker has resigned. son dispatched a messenger with a reply to the brigands' proposition, as formu lated In Miss Stone's letter. It is under stood that an agreement as to the amount of the ransom has been virtually estab lished. The settlement as to the manner and place of payment and the surrender of the captives presents the most diffi culty, but an entente is expected soon. The brigands are not willing to cross Into Turkey to obtain the money, while the Bulgarian Government would oppose re leasing Miss Stone on Bulgarian soil. Latent Letter From Miss Stone. NEW YORK, Nov. 7. The messenger sent by M. Bakhmeteff, the Russian diplo matic agent, to the brigands has returned oearing a 'letter from Miss Stone to a former pupil at Sofia, says the Sofia cor respondent of the Journal and Advertiser. Mr. Bakhmeteff havlrg thus established communication, has turned the letter and details over to Mr. Dickinson, the Amer- n ousui, saying . iaer s u e rn..- I som and upon him rests the responsibility. The messenger was absent nine days. The letter is dated November 1 and is wrltten in Bulgarian by Miss Stone, but controlled by the brigands. It consists of half a page saying Miss Stone and Mme. Tsilka are well and that the latter ex- .f hp y in three weeks. It ex presses nope lor speedy release. -i. Bakhmeteff'd messenger also brought a letter to Mr Dickinson from Miss Stone. The brigands decline to trust Mr. Dick inson's men and characterize his offer as paltry. Secret Information Leaked Out. SOFIA. Nov. 7. Consul-General Dick inson, of the United States, is greatly chagrined by the fact that a letter he had received from Miss Stone has leaked out. He says It is calculated to seriously affect if not practically undo the prog ress already achieved. On two previous occasions negotiations with the brigands who abducted the American missionary were abruptly broken off by the former on account of the premature disclosure of secrets which the bandits regarded as be ing a breach of the understanding with them. Mr. Dickinson Informed a repre sentative of the Associated Press today that It is absolutely Indispensable If Miss Stone Is ever to be released that the course of the negotiations oe kept Inviolably se cret. It Is hopeless to expect the brigands J.o place confidence In the negotiations when they find that Information which they regard as secret is constantly leak ing out. XeprotlatlonH Temporarily Suspended CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7. No prog ress was reported today in connection with the rescue of Miss Stone. On the con trary. It appears that the negotiations have been temporarily suspended from tho Bulgarian side. An effort will be made to resume them through Salonidh. Mr. Eddy, secretary of the United States Le gation. Is having frequent Interviews with Sir Nicholas O'Connor, the British Am bassador, with a view to the resumption, and proposes to go to Thorapla for a few days.

JWi7i JmM&mvA MM ,111)11 8CARGITY OF BEEF a Few Years Only the Wealthy Can Buy It, SO SAY WESTERN STOCKMEN Alnrmlnpr Situation Due to the Over crowding: of the Ranges Cou grefx Will Be Aakcd to Make an Early Investigation. CHICAGO. Nov. 7. According to Infor mation received at the headquarters of Vc.t National Livestock Association in this city. Congress will have the Western public land situation brought to its atten tion this Winter In a new and startling manner. A number of prominent cattie me of the West, who have been quietly Investigating, are prepared to show that during the past five years there has ben an enormous decrease in the number of ! cattle in this country, a decrease which seriously threatens the beef food suppi. and that, unless? speedy action be taken by Congress, in the course of a very few years beef will be selling at such fabu lous prices that enly the wealthy can afford to indulge In the luxury of a bet r. steak. The cause of this rapid decline in the number of beef cattle Is said to be due solely to the contraction of the Western public grazing land; and the Increase In the consumptive demand. The rapid set tlement of the West Tuis caused the ranges left to become crowded, and thi3 crowded condition has prevented the reseeding of grasses, and consequently millions of acres of once good pasture have been turned into absolute desert. Most of the large herds have been dispersed and slaughtered, and the bulk of the cattle supply la now being furnished by the small stockmen, but the evolution from the large herds on t!e open range to the small herds In pastures is too slow, owlrg to unfavorable land conditions, and where a few years ago the market! were sup plied with cattle four, five and six years old, even yearlings are being slaughtered to make up the supply of ueef. The cUockmen assert that the unfavora ble methods of administering the pub.ic lands of the West are back of the threat ened shortage, and at the coming National convention In Chicago next month an ef fort will be made to throw the who4? matter Into Congress and ask that a com. mission bo appointed with expert assist ance to investigate and devise plans for relieving the situation. The stockmen In the National Association have been striving for years to devise some plan for amending the land laws that would rem edy existing evils, but have been unable to agree. One faction is in favor of leas ing the lands by the Government: another wants the lands ceded to the states, and" another wants the Irws left as they are and irrigation, work continued to redeem the lands. As a compromise for all. it is now pro posed to have Congress take charge of the Whole matter through a commissipn, and, after Investigation, take such action aa will tend to stop the waste and destruc tion now going on. and encourage the establishment of small 3tock farms. Tho plan will also recommend Government aid in building storage reservoirs on the ranges near headwaters of streams. The big packers admit that there has been a decrease in the visible supply of cattle during the past five years, and they are lookirg forward to highef prices In the near future. They say the people will be forced to eat mutton Instead of beef, tlough even mutton will probably become scarce later, as the same condi tions that are diminishing the beef sup ply will also aftect the sheep supply. 1'nnnmn ISot Captured.
