VICTORIA, B. C, Aug. 12. According to
advices received here today, the epidemic
of cholera has spread from Manila and
the ports of China to Japan. Up to the
middle of July canes and deaths -were of
ficially reported as follows: Tokio, 4
cases, 3 deaths; Saga, 75 cases, 42 deaths;
Nagasaki, 3 cases, 3 deaths; Pukuoka, 102
cases, 73 deaths: Fukuoka Goal, 27 cases,
12 deaths: Formosa. 19 cases, no deaths;
total. 231 cases, 142 deaths.
Experts state that the cholera In Japan
this year was first brought to Karatau
by a Chinese Junk, and the cases In Tokio
are understood to have come from Kar
atau. It 1s regarded strange that Osaka,
In -which the largest number of deaths
has occurred in previous years of cholera
epidemic, has not reported any cases so
far this year. The disease, as a rule, in
vades Kobe and Osaka from Klushlu, but
It has made Its appearance In Tokio direct
this year. The number of cases in Fuko
oka Ken up to July 16 was 121, of which 93
have been fatal.
A Tien Tsln dispatch states that the
number of cases in the city up to July 14
was 1049, of which 764 have proved fatal.
The total In the northern section was 1015,
out of which 593 deaths have been record
ed. The epidemic Is becoming less preva
lent PROGRAMME OF REFORMERS.
Their Xcvr Rnnslan Pnper Outlines a
Plan of Peaceful Revolution.
T. PETERSBURG, July 24. (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press.)
Oswobzhdenla, the Liberal newspaper es
tablished in Stuttgart by the exile Peter
Von Struve, to bring about the political
emancipation of Russia, has appeared in
print. Printed oh Bible paper. Its 16 pages
make a half-ounce letter, and a few copies
of the first two issues have reached their
addressees and are being circulated widely
from hand to hand.
The periodical does not pretend to be a
complete news organ. It prints no matter
that Is satisfactorily handled In the
legal Russian press. The contents of the
first two numbers are sufficient varied to
stimulate curiosity. Among the headings
are: "The Popularity of Political Murder
in Russia," "Death of Sipiagulne," "In
dictment and Trial of the Nobleman, Ste
phen" V. Balmasheff,'' "Last Words of
Balmasheff," "From the Universities,"
"Letter From Poltava on the Peasant Dis
orders," "Review of Russian Life."
By far the most important article is
"From the Russian Constitutionalists."
This is a carefully elaborated programme
of peaceful revolution, and is apparently
the Joint product of many pens. It cites
and adopts Minister Von Plehve's speech
on assuming office, in which he said the
situation demands "deeds, not words,"
and Inquires if he will continue the ruin
ous policy of the last 30 years. All think
ing Russians, these writers proclaim, de
mand serious political reforms. They then
proceed to map out a programme. This
programme provides that the first demands
must be for:
First Personal freedom guaranteed by
Independent courts, and consequently
abandonment of arbitrary arrests and
inquisitions of administrative banishment,
extraordinary courts and summary trials.
Second Equality before all the laws,
and consequently abandonment of all class-,
racial or religious discriminations.
These elementary rights, the programme
continues, requires as guarantees the free
dom of the press, including abolition of
the censorship and the responsibility of
the press to the courts alone; the freedom
of assemblage and association, and the
right of petition.
BOERS TO BE LIOMZED.

the Generals decide to stay in England,
but according to The Hague correspondent
of the Daily Mail ex-President Kruger and
his party are equally anxious to prevent

Boarder at the House of Death A grain
In. "STreat-Box," tout Refuses to
Divulge Anything.
CHICAGO, Aug. 12. Tho Idea that Bar
tholin, the supposed murderer of his
mother and his sweetheart, la being aided
by a fraternal society in his escape, was
shattered tonight. Bartholin had been a
member of the Mutual Protective Associa
tion, but was expelled July 1. The officers
of the organization emphatically denied
that they had had anything to do with
Bartholin, and declared they would not
protect him under any circumstances were
he still a member.
Thompson, the boarder at the Bartholin
house, was again put through tho "sweat
ing process" today, but nothing additional
was learned from him. He maintained
that the story told by him when first ar
rested was the truth, and that he knew
nothing about the crime. The police do
not credit Thompson's talc and he is
still under arrest.
At midnight the police declared they had
not a single clew to the whereabouts of
Bartholin. During the day Bartholin was
reported from tho following places, and
in nearly every Instance the Identification
was positive: St. Joseph. Mich.; Kenosha,
Wis.; Elkhart, Ind.: Doris, la., and Guth
rie, O. T. The police are of the opinion
that Bartholin is still in Chicago, and
that if he has left he has gone to the

Digging Up Bartholin Basement.
CHICAGO, Aug. 12. Police officials were
in consultation again today trying to for

solve the mystery surrounding the mur
ders of Minnie Mitchell and Mrs. Bartno
lln. Spurred on by offers of reward for
the arrest of William J. Bartholin, tho
police In neighboring towns made several
arrests today, but In each case the prlson
er"s identity with that of the suspected

the shooting, for both men died before
an adequate account of the affair could bo
obtained. Devlne died In the ambulance
on the way to the hospital and the other
man on the operating table.
The fight occurred Just before dawn,
near Jackson Boulevard and Ashland ave
nue, in the aristocratic section of the
"West Side. Tho fusillade of shots aroused
the neighborhood. Citizens who heard the
dying policemen groan rushed to their
assistance and saw men running away.
CfTlcer Pennell. meanwhile, had heroically
staggered 100 feet to a patrol box and sent
in the alarm. The police soon had six
men In custody. Before Pennell died he
was able to gasp out a few words about
"robbers," giving descriptions of two men.
Late tonight the police received a clew
to the murderers of Officers Devlne and
Pennell. It was slight, but they are now
looking for a man who was 'slightly
wounded in the head by a bullet. George
Pulford, a druggist at the corner of Ada

from the scene of tho shooting, says he
was awakened about two hours after
the shooting by two men, one of whom

Is no doubt that the wound was caused
by a glancing bullet.

Thereupon Peter Power Appeared In
the Case-7-Expense of the Litiga
tion Paid by Another.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12s The examination
begun yesterday of George A, Lamb, coun
sel for Petef Power in-the action against
the Northern Pacific directors to prevent
them from turning over the stock of tho
company to the No'rthern Securities Com
pany, was resumed before Special Exam
iner Mable today. Replying to questions
of Mr. Guthrie, for the defense. Mr. Lamb
said that Power had paid him for services
In the case, and denied that he had re
ceived a dollar from Camllle Weldenfeld
or Content & Co. Telling of a talk with
Governor Van Sant, of Minnesota, he de
clared that the Governor had said to him
that it would be a good thing" for the state
if It could buy the stock of the North
western railroads, but the Attorney-General
of the state had come to. the con
clusion the state could not own the stock.
"Did Mr. Weldenfeld ever tell you he
wanted somebody punished for the panic
of May?" asked Mr. Guthrie.
"He has expressed his Indignation at
tho matter," said Mr. Lamb In reply. "He
said they ought to be gotten after, but
that they wero too strong."
At this point the examination of Mr.
Lamb was suspended, and Camllle Welden
feld, banker and broker, was called. He
denied that he knew Peter Power or had
ever seen him. He did not own any com
mon stock of Northern Pacific In 1300,
but later, la 1901. he secured an option on
100 shares of Northern Pacific common
stock from Content & Co., which he
bought on December G. 1901. Answering
questions, Mr. Weldenfeld said he made
the certificate over to Captain Styne,.a
friend, on December 30. The Captain, he
said, took the stock West for the purpose
of beginning a lawsuit. Tho witness said
that the certificate of stock was returned
to him about 10 days after. The certificate,
he averred, had never been under the con
trol of Mr. Lamb, and he had never agreed
to carry 100 shares of Northern Pacific for
Mr. Lamb or Mr. Power. He "had con
tributed between 15000 and 16000 to this suit.
Captain Steyn, he said, had received It
"Did you ever tell Mr. Lamb you wished
to punish anybody for the panic of May
9?" asked Mr. Guthrie.
"I think not," was the reply.
Continuing his testimony, Mr.' Welden
feld said that at present the relations be
tween himself and Mr. Lamb were
strained. He said Mr. Lamb told him that
Peter Power was a man of property.
"What did you expect to get out of this
suit?"
"I wanted to have these mergers tested.
If they are legal, the knowledge would
be valuable to me."
Mr. Weldenfeld absolutely denied that
he ever suggested a figurehead as plaintiff
In the litigation against the Northern Se
curities Company.
The hearing after recess was consumed
In the cross-examination of Mr. Welden
feld by Mr. Lamb. Mr. Weldenfeld admit
ted that he had contributed financially to
suits brought against the Northern Pacific
by Milton Boudon and Ellsworth I. Chap
man. He had never suggested to Mr.
Lamb, he said, that the latter procure an
other plaintiff In these suits so .that his
(Weldenfeld's) Identity might be concealed,
and It was not a fact that he bought stock
so that the Boudon and Chapman suits
might be started.
The hearing will go on tomorrow.

In tr In t Ti Slnn(ncrt-
For the next few weeks there will bo
great danger of fire in Eastern Mult
nomah and Clackamas Counties, on- ac
count of the great number of outing
parties who are camping on Bull Run.
Sandy, Salmon and other fishing streams.
Most of the outing parties leave early in,
the morning and build fires by the road
side, which they usually leave bdrnlng
endangering the surrounding forests.
Yesterday morning several fires weru
noticed along the roadside as far as
Pleasant Homo, probably left by care
less campers.
There are hundreds of acres of brush
that have been slashed for clearing be
yond Gresham, in which a fire would
do great damage should it get "started
at this time. If fires aro carefully ex
tinguished when built by campers there
will be no danger of damage. Those
who have cleared land by slashing brush
and leaving It to dry, intending to burn
It later, shouldnot undertake to burn it
at present. Some of the' worst fires In
tho county havo been caused by their
being started In this way when every
thing Is as dry as tinder and when a fire
is almost sure to get beyond controL
All about Pleasant Home and for miles
beyond the sawmills have cut down the
standing trees, but there Is still much
timber and dry brush. In which bad fires
might be started. The many camping
points are the danger places. Keeper
Spain, of tho Bull Run headworks, who la
In the city, said yesterday that peoplo
are exceedingly careless about leaving
fires, notwithstanding the warnings that
the forest rangers have posted up all
through the country. He says that he
has known some very prominent people
to go away and leave their camp fires
burning, which he had extinguished.
With so many people camping on the
fishing streams some may be careless.
There Is a heavy fine for starting fires,
beside the liability for damages, all of
which should cause campers to be ex
ceedlng'y careful.
Yesterday afternoon fires were noticed
east of tho Sandy River and also south
cz ciresn:in. wnere s'ashings were proo
ably destroyed. The one east of ho
Sandy appeared to v.v. beyond control.
