SMASHED THE WINDOWS. - Helen Vnndcrbllt Wackcrman's Nerves Still Unstrung. BUFFALO. July 28. Helen Vanderbllt Wackerman, the young American girl who recently had such an unpleasant experi ence in London that her mind was im paired, was severely cut tonight by the broken glass of a window she had emafched while trying to escape from her room. Fire engines responding to a call for a Are opposite her home stopped at a hydrant directly under Mica Wackerman's window. Believing the fire was In her house, the young woman became panic stricken and began smashing the windows of her room with her bare hands. The windows wore large and the heavy pieces of glass severely cut Miss Wackerman's arms and face. She was prevented from j jumping by her mother.

The Minnesota delega tion, which stood solidly agalnat the President and for the Oxnard beet-ugar combine, is having as much trouble as tho Michigan men- Already Morris, who is the author of the Morris amendment that practically killed the Cuban reci procity bill, has gono out of the race, as well as Eddy and Heatwole. The four remaining members of the House are having a hard fight for renomlnatlon, with the prospects that Fletcher, in the Min neapolis district, will be turned down. A false report has got out that the President Is assisting In these campaigns against men who opposed his policy. Neither the President nor his official ad visers here are doing anything of tho kind. The matter is being worked up among the people, who do not believe that even such an Infant Industry as beet sugar needs 100 per cent protection, which Is granted now under the DIngley rates. As a matter of fact, the present tariff was for revenue, and only incidental pro tection when granted, but the tariff was used by the beet-sugar Insurgents for the purpose of defeating the President's reci procity programme. BRYAN STILL HAS HOLD OX PARTV. Western Democrats Believe He Is the Logical Candidate lor 100 i. OREGONIAN NETVrS BUREA.U, Wash ington, July 2S. The tour of William J. Bryan In the East has created a great deal of dlEcussion as to his. intentions, for 19(M, and also as to the policy of leading Democrats toward him In case he is again an avowed candidate. The New York Herald has tele graphed a number of National Democratic committeemen asking their vlewG as to Bryan and the next Presi dential campaign. The replies coming from East, West and South indicate that Bryan still has a strong hold upon the Democratic party, although a majority of the men consulted express the bolle'f that he will not be the candidate, and will not be nominated In 1904. Southern mon especially discredit his candidacy, while the West seems to think he is the logical candidate. Nearly all agree he is a power that must be reckoned with in'the consideration of any candidate. Bryan has made free-silver speeches, not so strong as those of 1866 and 1900, but still etandlng for the old ratio, which has caused a great deal of consternation In the Eastern Democratic camp. They ace no possibility of winning as long as the old issue is thrust so prominently for ward by iBryan, and the impression pre vails that Bryan does not want any great Democratic gains made in states that have Ignored silver and the KansaoClty plat form. Reception of Antla Manifesto. The anti-lmperlaliots' manifesto, pub lished this morning, creates more amuse ment than anything else. If it Is ued as a Democratic campaign document the commendation of President Roosevelt must also be isaed. Nearly all of the mat ters complained of have been remedied, and the belief among thewe who know the temper of the people Is that the additional attack upon the Army bjr the antl-lmpe-riallsts will hurt the Democrats who be gun the attack fn Congress last Win ter. The more Intelligent -view, however. Is that no such movement will cut much figure in the political campaign. FIRMIN'S ARMY REPELLED Defeated by Government Forces; Near Pxrt an Prince. WASHINGTON, July 28. Acting Sec retary Hill today received the following cablegram from United States Minister Powell, dated at Port au Prince today: "General Colon left Port au Prince yes terday mornjng with 2000 men to repel Flrmln's army, which was landed from the naval vessel commanded by Admiral Killick. After a skirmish which en sued, the forces of Flrmln retreated to ward the Interior. Colon returned to the city yesterday afternoon. Tho Govern ment forces lost 20 killed and 00 wound ed. The number killed on Flrmln'3 side is still unknown. The Haytlen vessel left last night, destination unknown, and there was much firing In the city. The Machlas has arrived at Cape Haytlen." May Attack Cape Haytlen. CAPE HAYTIEN, July 28. General Albert Salnave entered Llxnba- yesterday evening and this morning he was with in nine miles of this city, after having de feated the troops under General Nord, the Minister of War, provisional govern ment. The capitulation of Grande Rivire is expected, and Cape Haytlen probably will be attacked this evening or tomorrow morning. Foreigners are without protection and are In danger. Much regret is expressed that no foreign power Is represented here by a warship at such a critical moment. Isthmian War Nearly Ended. PANAMA. July 25. The Government I gunboat Boyaca, which was sent to Agua Dulce with reinforcements and pro- visions lor tne rorces under the Govern ment General Morales Borl. returned here this morning and brings a report that the revolutionary troops under Gen eral Hcrrera are at Santiago Vcraguas, In close proximity to Agua Dulce. Gen eral Salazar, the Governor of Panama, has received a proposal from General) Herrera that the revolutionary forces under his command lay down their arms. He has decided to send on the British steamer Cana a commission to negotiate with General Herrera, and there Is a possibility that the terms offered by General Salazar will be accepted by the revolutionists. The members of the com mittee to treat with Herrera are Gen es als E. M. Gomez, Morales Berl and Moreno and Dr. Thomas Alaals. Sitnntlon In Nicaragua. KINGSTON. Jamaica. July 2S.

Page 11. . . , ACROSS COUNTRY From Pendleton North the Paiouse District nto AN OLD PUZZLE EXPLAINED Horr Free Land Up North" Toole the Immigration for Nearly Two Dec ades A Wonder of Develop ment and Progress. By a Staff Writer. SPOKANE, Wash., July 27. About the time the railroads began pushing their way Into the Columbia River basin the Immigration movement into the Wlllam- o m 9 LAKE FROM PROPOSED FAIR ette Valley, which started In the early '.to, almost ceased. There were occasional newcomers, but they were not many, and for something Ilko 15 years the Valley made only such moderate progr?s as could be expected In a country where nothing came from without. Within this period, say from 1SS2 to 1S07. the Willam ette Valley probably sent .out more pop ulation than It gained from without. Central Oregon the region of which Prlncvllle Is the center gained nearly all of its original settlers by direct movement from the Valley and very, considerable numbers went on Into the Umatilla country, and even further north Into the Paiouse. Why a country so beautiful and so bountiful as ' that of the Willamette should be thus neglected' and why It should not be able to retain those once established In it was for a long time a, popular puzzle, and It was discussed pub licly . and privately as If It were some thing quite unprecedented and unex plalnable. Investigation, however, soon brought to light a sound reason. In the Willamette Valley the land, or all of It that was most desirable, was under pri vate ownership, and could only be got by purchase, and when once acquired It had to be cleared of trees and ether Im pediments before there was easy going for the plow. "Up North," on the other hand, the land belonged to tie Govern ment and could be had In homestead tracts for the taking; and jvhen taken. It lay open for the plow. What one year was a virgin wildernces could by easy process be turned Into a fruitful field In the next. These conditions combined with fascination wnich a nw country cxer clses upon most minds drew Into the Pa-louse,- the Umatilla and other open re gions large numbers of settlers. The situation of the Willamette Valley was precisely that of a More doing busi ness on old and fixed lines, while Us rival across the street is closing out at cost, or something less. The newcomers flocked, as a matter of course, into the open country, where a farm could be had for nothing, and where the ground did not ha've to be "cleared" before It could be planted. True, the conditions of civilization existed in the Willamette Valley, while they had to be made from the ground up In the new country; but never did an Immigrant give heed to a fact of this kind. If he 'thought of It at all It was rather to gain fresh spirit for the newer country, where thlng3 were not upon a conventional baels, where life would be freer. Churches and schools would come fast enough, ac they were wanted; bosides the immediate quest was for fortune ratner. tnan ror tne accessor ies and incidentals of life. These memories and., reflections were in my mind ao I rode yesterday over thr line of the O. R. & N. Co. from Pendle ton to "Spokane. I had been over the country many times before and under various conditions; flrct on horseback, when the road waa little better than an Indian trail; again when It took four days between Walla Walla and Spokane. partly by steamboat, partly by stage and party by rail; once again In a private, car", where we dined In or across three counties with five miles of fish course, 10 of entree and roast turkey and 20 of coffee, cognac and cigars. But this was long ago, and yesterday when I saw tho changes which the years have wrought, interest grew to amazement, for the country has taken on a character as far removed from "what It once was as the race- which now occupies It is re moved from the red Indian. The old silence and desolation are lost in the activities of population and the universal look of thrift. The hills, once grazed ssssHsiiBsssfllQflHBsiu2ys.iuuSsBHr - '$BKKIBU2mifi& over by herds of Indian ponies, and at a later time by bands of cattle and. sheep, are green with waving grain. The pro tected 6Cot3, onre thinly dotted with wlckl-ups, are dotted by farm houses. There la no longjcr any open country, for all has been occupied and all is being turned to productive account. To a very considerable extent the Immi gration into this country came from the northern tier of the Mississippi Valley states from Ohio. Indiana. Illinois. Iowa and "Wisconsin -where mixed farming is practiced with a thoroughness and suc cess cqifaled nowhere else in the world. Grulnrrowlng was a Dusiness well under stood by these Northern farmers, bu; they also understood farming In Its gen eral branches and they were not content to live by bread alone. Vpon tradition and Instinct, before It was really protlt able. these practiced farmers went, to some extent. Into general farming opera tions. Today, while making wheat their main crop, they are far from making it their only crop. The hog is to be seen in every farm ard and pasture, the Im proved cow speaks of the dalr ; and. to me more significant and pleasing than any thing else. 13 thf universally present wide-roofed red barn which declare em- SITE. end of the proposed fair olte. The lake Is phatlcally that the. "ranch" has been displaced by the farm. The country has not merely filled up. It has In the bes: sense become eettlcd; and even as one rushes through ortthc "railway tram he cannot fall to -see that It is a lend of prosperity and abundance and even of established wealth. It was a sound Instinct that prompted the immigrant of the 'SOs to seo.k a home in the open and treeless Northern country, for in the very nature of things develop ment has gone forward there more rapid ly than In the older and timbered country west of the mountains. The country wll. never be so beautiful; It will never have the charm of climate of the Western country, but It has grown faster and It has been easier for the newcomer to ge-t a home and get ahead. Its second ary development will not. I think, come so rapidly as its settlement. - So long an wheatgrowlng remains the main resource, and this is likely for many years, farms must bo large; and largfc farms are not favorable to the Interests of community life. Again, the climate !o relatively severe. It Is much hotter and drier In Summer than In the Western country, and the cold of winter not uncommonly recalls the severities of the Middle West. These conditions, with the bad roads, always found where the soil le soft, put impediments In the way of social life not at all times easy to overcome. If it were not for the unconquerable social spirit of the American, the country. In spite of Its wealth-, would be called Iso lated and lonesome. But I am told that the people do not feel It to be such. The very dlfllcultles of the situation, the lack of variety and charm In the scenery, give a zest to social pleasures, and. as & fellow-passenger put It to me. "we get as much out of life as any people I know of." The region of which I am writing Is not filled up far from It but there Is no longer open country In which every comer may make his choice. If one seeks to eettle- In the UmatIHa or P.ilouso districts, or elsewhere hereabout, he must now buy land precisely as In the Willamette Val ley. And so rapidly has the country filled up. and so profitable are lands weil handled, that values hae reached a pret ty stiff figure. The old appeal which the Northern country made to the Immigrant. It can make- no longer, for It has no land to give him. It Is this equalization of con ditions which during the past three or four years has been turning again to tne Willamette Valley the stream of immigra tion diverted from It nearly 20 years ago. From this time, on no one part of the Northwest will be able.through Its posses sion of free Government lands, to engross immigration as this region has done. There are still sGme vacant lands, out they are remote in situation and Intrin sically not of the best. The true policy of the Immigrant now is not to seek Government lands, but to buy from thos who from one reason or another are willing to sell. Every part of the country Is seeking to Interest the newcomer; farms everywhere too large are being broken up and offered In subdivisions; prices under this general competition are not likely to go unreasonably high. Here, as In the Walla Walla country of which I wrote a few days back, one Is constantly told that the climate has changed; ard certain it is that for sever al seasons tho precipitation has been more timely. If not really greater: There has been no trouble on the score of drouth, no difficulties In harvest on the score of too early rains. Even In situa tions once thought too dry for grain 'tConcluded on Page 8.) MORE AMOTION Batch of Orders Against the Striking Coal Miners, BY WEST VIRGINIA JUDGES Several Arc Charged With Buying and Distributing Sappllen to Feed the Strikers in Their District. PARKERSBURG. W. Va., July 2S (Special.) Judge John Jay Jackson grant ed today another injunction against organ izers of the United Mlneworkers. The ap plication wa3 made by Clinton Gardner, receiver for the Flcmlngton Coal & Coke Company, which operates in the northern part of the state, east of Fairmont. Tho papers wert directed to John G. Springer and about 20 others, organisers and strik ers. The injunction la similar to that granted in the cute of the Clarksburg Fuel Company, and restrains and inhibits organizers, and agitators from in any man ner Interfering with or tresspassing on the property of the company or intimidating the miners who are work, or preentIng others who may desire to work from doing so. The general language Is the same as that of former injunctions granted by Judge Jackion. The wri.s were placed In the hands of United States Marshal Edward Elliott, who left here tonight for Flemir.gton to serve them. Judge Jackson ordered the release of William Rice, who has been serving 60 days sentence for contempt of court, upon a showing that both Rice and his wife are ill. Rico wa3 required to give a prom ise that he would not further violate the injunction. Sam Bettes. the "cowboy evangelist." delivered an address last night to a crowd of 500 persons on the Courthouse steps, making a sweeping denunciation of gov ernment by Injunction, which was under stood by the crowd to have a local appli cation, and was applauded. The Federal authorities have taken no action against Bettes. "Mother" Jones reached Flemlngton to day, tnd was billed to deliver an address tonight. Several Deputy 'Marshals were on the train with her, and she did not make the address. She Is to speak at Tunnclton tomorrow night. Upon information made before Federal District Attorney Atkinson, at Charleston, today, warrants of arrest were ls&ued for 15 persons, choglng them with contempt of court In violating the injunction issued bj Judge Keller, covering the Flat Top coal neld, along the .Norfolk & Western Railroad. The clerk declined to give the names of those for whom warrants were issued. Jndgc Keller's Injunctions. Judge Ko'ler issued an Injunction against G. W. Purcell. a member of the National executive committee of United Mlnework ers; W. 3. Wilson, National secretary; Chris Evans, National statistician; "Mother" Jones, and five others at the suit of the Gauley Mountain Coal Com pany. It Is In the same form as those heretofore Issued. It was charged that Purcell. Evnns. Wilson and the others were purchasing and distributing supplies to feed the strikers In this district. Pur cell. Evans. Wilson and the others are not enjoined from furnishing supplies to the miners, but are enjoined from organizing camps close to the property of the com plalnants,and were selected as defendants because thty are nonresidents, and be cause they were active in prold!ng sup plies for the miners. Judge Keller is trying the cases of John Richards and others for violation of in junctions, and only half a dozen of the 50 witnesses were examined the first day. The strikers have enploed able counsel. Deputy United States Marshal Cunning ham testified that in addition to acting as an official, he had worked for the Collins Colliery Company as captain of the com pany's gua-i, drawing a salary therefor. The defense will try to prove that tne strikers were under tne Impression that Cunnlnghnm was serving injunctions is sued by Judge Jackson in 1S9T. and that these injunctions were not in force. MINING AND STORING COAI. Secret Worlc In Several Collieries at Seri'itton. SCRANTON. Pa.. July 2S. Superin tendent Ross, of the Delaware & Hudson, admitted today that his and other com panies of this region have been engaged in cutting and loading coal and storing It at the foot of the shaft In cars ready to be hol3tcd when the companies see fit to do so. The work is being done by un der bosses, company hands and returned J strikers, of whom the mine has a small quota. The companies have been doing this work secretly so as to avoid draw ing the fire of the strikers. The strikers turned back the men at Rocket Brcok Colliery, in Carbondale, this morning, but they came around at noon when tho pickets had dispersed and started the washery going Carpenters at the Coal Brook and Northwester Col lieries. In Carbondale. were- also turned back this morning. This activity on tho part of the strikers Is the result of a meeting of the strikers, held Sunday, when It was determined to make an ef fort to stop all work at mines and wash erles In the Carbondale region. Compromise With Mcmengers. CHICAGO, July 2S Referring to an er roneous report that the Illinois District Telegraph Company conceded to Its strlk-. Ing mrssengers all points at issue, W. J. Lloyd, president of the company, states that a compromise was reached on the following basis: Messengers to receive 75 cents per day of 10 hours, 10 cents for each extra hour, and $1 25 for 10 hours Sundays. The company was not asked to recognize the union. Vnrrants Issued for Striker. WIL.KE3BARRE. Pa., July 2S. War rants were issued today for the arrest of a number of striking miners at Nanti coke. charged with assaulting several employes cf the Susquehanna Coal Com pany, who were on their way to the works. Thus far only one arrest has been made. Tho exodus of miners from this region to the bituminous district continues. President Mitchell was at strike headquarters today. Colliery Foreman Shot. POTTSVILLE. Pa., July 2S. Daniel Landerman. foreman at the Kohinoor Colliery. Shenandoah, was shot today near his home by a crowd of strikers. His face and shoulders are torn with buckshot, and It Is thought he will not recover. Albert Landerman was also chased and shot, and four other non- union men badly beaten.
