GETS TEH YEARS AT ALCATRAZ Frank Rakotvskl, Polish .Anarchist, Who "Would Emulate Czolgosx, Is Dishonorably Dismissed Before His Comrades. There passed through Portland yester day a former private of tho United States Army, who was publicly degraded before the post guard at Fort Canby a few hours before, and was about to depart (or Alcatraz Island, tho bleak military prison of the Federal Government, where he will serve a 10-year sentence for publicly declaring his intention to assassinate President Roosevelt when his term of en listment expired, and for Indorsing the crime of Czolgosz. He was closely guard ed by a detail of his former comrades, and In their stern, faces was no sympathy for the fellow, who was no longer a soldier, who had been court-martialed and dis missed from the service in dishonor and disgrace. . Frank RakowskI is his name, and he Is a native of Poland. He was a mem ben of the artillery company stationed at Fort Stevens, commanded by Captain Harold Cloke. Some time before Christ mas he was ordered to Fort Columbia, Wash., on detached duty. A few days before the holiday Rakowski was in Chin ook, and was under the influence of liquor. The assassination of President McKinley was spoken of in a saloon, and RakowskI was present. He was In his uniform as a soldier in the Army of the United States, which will account In a measure for the startling effect upon his auditors when he declared: "President McKinley got what he de served. My time of enlistment In the Army will soon expire. When It does I'll see that President Roosevelt gets the same dose Czolgosz gave McKinley." It was a marvel that Rakowski was not lynched on the spot. His anarchistic ut terances were heard by several persons in the saloon, and when they compre hended the treasonable threat made In direct and unmistakable language triey rushed for hlro, and bore him to the floor. But for the Intervention of officers of the peace he would have undoubtedly been beaten to death. As It was. it took several -officers, exertir.tr .their "united. 'strength, to tear his assailants from mm. cuetodyaad -""jigC Peace Dalton, of Ilwaco. 2v He was imprisoned at Fort Canby and a' court-martial ordered, the members being Major Humphries, president; Lieutenants Spurr. Tobln. Weeks. McBrlde and Pour rle. He was arraigned on a charge of violating the 63d article of war, which covers a multitude of offenses under the general classification of "conduct to the prejudice of military discipline." There was plenty of evidence to support the charge against RakowskI, and the court martial, found him guilty. The sentence Imposed was dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and al lowances, and confinement In the military prison at Alcatraz Island for a period, of 10 years. The findings of the court were forwarded to Colonel C. A. Coolidge, who is in charge of the Department of the Columbia, In the absence of General Ran dall, and that officer approved the charges. A formal order carrying out the decrees of the court was sent to Fort Canby, and yesterday morning orders were received to start with the prisoner for the California prison. The post guard of 21 men, the entire strength of the fort, was summoned to the parade ground. Rakowski was brought from the guardhouse and halted In a position where all of the men could see him. Then Lieutenant Tobln, officer of the day, read in slow, measured tones the order of approval of the findings of the court-martial, RakowskI was dishon orably mustered out of the Army, and was taken back to the guardhouse, to re main until the morning boat left for As toria, where connection was made for Portland. But little Is known of Rakowskl's ca reer previous to joining the Army. From statements made to soldiers of the fort. It was learned that he formerly lived on Milwaukee avenue, Ch'cago. Previous to his declaration In the Chinook saloon. It was not known that RakowskI cherished anarchistic sympathies. Captain Cloke was seen by an Oregonian correspondent last night at Astoria, and In speaking of the degraded man said: "The man seemed to be a quiet fellow. Prior to the time of his anarchistic ut terances at Chinook, he never gave any trouble. He was drunk when he threat ened the life of the President, but that docs not excuse him." The case of RakowskI Is the second in stance of anarchy reported from Colum bia River posts. The other offender was stationed at Fort Stevens, and made a statement similar to that of Rakowski. The soldiers who overheard him gave him a beating," which all but rendered him unconscious. Ke was threatened with death If he remained in the service, or In the vicinity of the post at the expira tion of .21 house. The hint was sufficient the man disappeared. THE ATMOSPHERE' CLEARED Both Arbitration Plans Passed Through Pan-American Congress. MEXICO CITY, Jan. 17. The atmos phere of the Pan-American conference was suddenly cleared this morning, and with the best of feeling prevailing on all sides, both the plans of compulsory arbi tration and The Hague agreement passed through the conference. W. I. Buchanan, of the United St&es delegation, afforded a means whereby, in spite of yesterday's discussion, both Ecuador and Chile might adhere to The Hague convention, propos ing that the minutes of the last two ses sions, showing the feeling of Chile with r- KING EDWARD OPENS PARLIAMENT regard to arbitration, should form part (as annexes) of the protocol, whereby the nations represented at the conference ex press their acceptance of The Hague con vention. Now that the arbitration question has been disposed of, the conference will has ten the work that is still before It. and will be able to close its session lria week or 10 days. The Peruvian delegates express them selves as In general satisfied with the ' solution of the arbitration difficulty. It Is declared that the Peruvians and their nllies have won a great diplomatic victory by obtaining admittance Into the confer ence of their compulsory plan. SUMMARY OF THE DAY'S NEWS Congress.

Three Hundred Lost Their "Lives and, as Many More Were Injured at Chllpanxlngo. CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 17. One of the most terrible catastrophes in the history of the "State of Guerrero Is reported to have occurred late yesterday afternoon, when an extremely violent earthquake' shock Was felt at Chllpanzlngo, causing a great loss of life and Injuring many per sons. Details from the stricken district are very meager, but scattering reports received here indicate that probably 300 people were killed, and as'many more In jured. It is known that the State Capitol, the parish church and many business houses and residences are in ruins, and that there is much suffering ns a result of the awful seismic disturbance. One of the edifices, that suffered most was the federal telegraph office, which explains the paucity of news that has so far reached this city. Meager details finally began to arrive here. The telegraph lines and apparatus at Chllpanzingo were badly damaged, but the employes, all of whom were unin jured, quickly proceeded to erect an Im provised telegraph office on the outskirts of the city. The number of deaths was greater in the parish church than in any single place, as a crowd of worshipers was gathered there for the afternoon service. The solid masonry walls and the roof came top pling down on the worshipers, and many of those within were killed. The War Department has ordered troops In the neighborhood to co-operate in the work of rescue. Until this work Is com-, pleted. It will be Impossible accurately to learn the number of victims. It is be lieved, however, that this Is one of the most destructive seismic phenomena that has ever occurred In Mexico. The great er part of the population of Chllpanzingo are now camping out under tents around, the town, which is five days Journey from the national capital. Earthquake shocks were felt in many; other cities and towns. In the City of Mexico the earthquake occurred at 5:17 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and was of such violence as to shake the most sub stantial buildings. The Pan-American Congress was in session at the time, and many of the delegates were greatly alarmed. The first movement here was one of trepidation, and was very sharp. It was followed by an earthly oscillatory movement north-northeast to south-southwest. The duration was 53 seconds. The damage In this city was slight. The State of Guerrero has always been the focus of seismic disturbances. Re ports received here state that the shock was very severe at Chllapa. No casualties are so far reported from there. Tho duration of the Chllpanzingo shock was less than that In the City of Mexico, having lasted 50 seconds, against 55 sec onds at the capital. Up to 11 o'clock tonight, no further news had come from Chllpanzingo. The earthquake was 'also Intense at Iguala, In-the State of Guerrero, destroy ing the parish church, and many buildings In the city and neighborhood. Among the latter was the sugar mill of General Fria ble, an American. The mill had Just been completed and fitted up with American machinery at a coat of $200,000. The prop erty loss Is immense throughout the State of Guerrero. The Associated Press correspondent has Just seen a private telegram from Chll panzingo from a gentleman to relatives In this city, saying: "I and family are safe. Many houses destroyed." The fact that he does not refer to loss of life Is considered significant, and It is now believed that the loss of life was ex aggerated. The Kentucky Legislature. FRANKFORT. Ky.. Jan. 17. The Sen ate today unanimously concurred in the House resolutions asking Congress to pro vide for the election of United States Sen ators by direct vote. The House resolution petitioning Con gress to remove the revenue tax on to bacco and criticising the tobacco trust was passed by a party vote.

IN SPITE OF THE COMPROMISE Roosevelt May Take the Mntter la His Ovrn'llnnds and Reappoint Ide Marshal Subsidy Bill Report. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. Since the pub lication of the compromise that had been agreed upon by members of the Washlng- i ton delegation, whereby Marshal Ide is to i oe appointed collector of customs ana J Hopkins be made Marshal, Senator Foster hao been making frantic efforts to secure the appointment of his favorite. Crocker, of Walla Walla, as Collector In place of Ide. It looks very much as If Foster will have to accept the terms of the com promise, however, and allow Ide's ap- . pointment. or ele Ide will be reappointed Marshal in the face of his protesjt. The Attorney-General would be very glad to have this done, and If his influence could accomplish It, Ide would be allowed to continue In his present position. It te un derstood the Pre&Ident Is becoming quite vexed at the Senator's persistence in be half of Crocker, and his refusal to abide by the terms of the compromise, and if some final step is not taken soon. Presi dent Roosevelt may take the entire matter Into hia own hands and act Independently. Should this be done, Ide will succeed him self. Panama Route Iniprnctlcnble. Senator Mitchell says that investigation that he has made regarding the Panama Canal convinces him that It is thoroughly Impracticable, and that. If the Government should purchase It, It would have end less litigation on Its hands and many difficulties to encounter before all of the claims and contentions could be settled. The thorough Investigation which the inter-oceanic canal committee Is giving to all propositions Is such that he believes all lawyers of the Senate will be con vinced that a great mistake would be made to accept the offer of the Panama, Canal Company, and 'that, even if no money were Involved, other complications are sufficient to condemn the acquisition of the canal property by the United States. An effort has been made to make It appear that the President favors the Panama route, but this does .not see. -lllcolys; Tfct."ral4nt Is fcghJGpe$dyaop--pa ttonauoaWjtQioT senators rntet an lSaMMa,caBMtlMrae'eryj wreiC"FTfe--wrjT7.i'ir jsm albnaaefSSiSaTfefiFiIaTaetSita-- to influence men who are determined to hae a canal, and those who believe with Senator Mitchell will still insist upon the Nicaragua route. Honse May Yield on Tariff Bill. Some Republicans may oppose the re duction of 25 per cent in the Philippine tariff bill. Burrows of Michigan Is one of these, because his state Is very much Interested In the production of beet sugar. Others representing the sugar Interests say that not a sufficient amount of sugar will come from the Philippines to endan ger the production In the United States, and that Cuban sugar Is really the only menace to either the cancgrowers or the boet-sugar producers. A majority of the Senate will stand by the report of the committee In favor of a reduction. Members of the House are decidedly piqued at the-action of the Senate com mittee, as they believe that the Republi can party and the Republican Administra tion were committed to the full DIngley rates at the time the other bill was rushed through. Payne and some of his high pro tectionist colleagues on the ways and means committee may undertake to make a flght against the Senate reduction, but there is every Indication that the House will be compelled to yield, as many Re publican Representatives voted for the bill under private protest and excuse themselves on the ground that It is sim ply a temporary measure. The Subsidy Bill. While the subsidy bill, a favorable re port on which was authorized today, is considered by many as a great improve ment over that offered In the last Con gress, yet It does not meet with any more favor from those who oppose any subsidy than d'id the lost bill. It Is asserted that, notwithstanding the attempt to favor slow freighters, the fast American lines will be more benefited by this bill than any other Interest. It seems likely that the House will not act on the shipping bill, at least until after the Fall elections, because members fear that their interests might be endangered by voting for such a meas ure, and the programme now Is to pass the bill through the Senate at the long session and to crowd It through the House at the short session. Taconia and Spokane Buildings. The Senate public buildings committee today called on Senator Turner for data regarding Senator Foster's bill appropri ating JS50.0Q0 for a public building at Ta coma and his own bill appropriating $500. 000 for a public building at Spokane. Both bills will be favorably reported next Fri day. The committee Is not disposed to allow the full amount for Tacoma, asthe department recommends but JSOO.OOO, the Dame as It does for Spokane. It is quite probable that both bills as reported will carry between 54OO.O0O and $500,000. Olympla land Office Flsht. Senator Foster has taken up with Sec retary Hitchcock the appointment of a Register and Receiver at the Olympla Land Office. It is believed the Senator favors the removal of the Register, Decke bach, and the appointment of Mr. Stock ing, a member of the State Legislature, to the vacancy. A strong effort la also being made to retain Receiver Scobey, but strong protests have been filed against his reappointment on the ground that he has not faithfully performed the duties of his office. The Secretary Is believed to be In sympathy with Senator Foster'a 1 recommenaatlons. egtea.w.
