AMERICA IS MORE HOPEFUL Conferences Between Secretary Hay nnd Anibnssador Casslni Will Cause the Matter to He Allowed to Ilest Temporarily. PEKIX, June 29. The Russian Minis ter, Lessar. has been suddenly sum moned to a conference with General Kur opatken, the Russian "War Minister: Ad miral Alexlelt, Jn command of the Russian fleet In the Pacific: L Pokotlloff. man ager of the Russo-Chinese Bank at Pekln, and other officers at Port Arthur, re garding Russia's position In Manchuria. M. Lessar leaves here July 1. Roosevelt Informed of Conference. OYSTER BAT, X. T., June 29. While President Roosevelt manifested the deep est interest In the dispatch from Pekln placed in hia hands by the Associated Press announcing a conference of Russian officials at Port Arthur on the Manchurian question, he made no comment upon it for publication. It was the first news of the proposed conference he had received, but he Is fully alive to Its Importance. The President Is in close touch by tele graph with the State Department, and any developments of concern in foreign af fairs will be transmitted promptly to him by Secretary Hay, AMERICA IS MORE HOPEFUL. Hajr-Casslnl Conference Means Mat ter Will Rest for a Time. "WASHINGTON, June 29. It was indi cated today that the Manchurian question may be permitted to rest temporarily, so far as action at this end of the line is concerned, since Secretary Hay has left the city for a two weeks' vacation, and Count Casslnl. the Russian Ambassador, is about to sail for Europe. There are In dications, too, that the Russian govern ment has found it impossible to shape her policy respecting Manchuria so as to be more acceptable to the United States. Secretary Hay and Count Casslni, within the past week, have conferred on this subject, and it is apparent that there have been some developments which officials do not care to make public at this time. In the negotiations with China for a commercial treaty, this government has been insistent on the opening of certain ports In Manchuria, and the new turn ap pears to have given a more hopeful feel lrg In that direction. Secretary Hay called at the Russian Embassy yesterday morning to say good bye to Count Casslnl before leaving the city for Newport. The Secretary during his visit gave personal assurances to the Ambassador of the real regard which both he and the President have for the Am bassador. The call lasted for nearly an hour and was most friendly throughout. The Ambassador sails from New York July 7 on the Kaiser "Wllhelm II for Paris, where, after a week's rest, he will go to St. Petersburg, to report to His Majesty the Emperor. He will return to the United States In the Autumn. CHINA WILL. DO RUSSIA'S WILL. Convinced Tlint It Had Better Make Terms With the Crar. LONDON, June 29. A Shanghai dispatch to the Times says the correspondent of a native journal there asserts that Viceroy Yuen Shal Kal, Governor-General of Pechlll. Is opposed to the opening to trad of places in Manchuria mentioned in the American and Japanese draft treaties on the ground that it would be useless and would complicate a difficult question at the instance of powers which have failed to Induce Russia to restore either their own rights or the Chinese administration of the long established treaty ports of New Chwang. This argument, says the Times correspondent, appeals powerfully to the native mind, which is becoming gradually convinced that China's safest policy is to make the best terms with Russia. BULGARIA EXPECTS WAR. Turkey's Methods of Massacre Are Sore to Cause Trouble. LONDON, June 30. The Belgrade cor respondent of the Times says: M. Petroff, the Bulgarian Premier, has given an interview In which he declared that the Sultan of Turkey and the Bul garian government were both opposed to war, but the situation was worse than at any time since the delivery of the Turk ish note last Spring. Though most of the prisoners at Salonica had been released, 400 fresh arrests have been made and 3000 refugees have arrived at Adrlanople. The aim of the Turks, the Premier is r ported as saying. Is the deliberate ex termination of the Bulgarians In Mace donia by methods scarcely short of mas sacre, and the high officials In Turkey are promoting the war movement. M. Petroff anticipates a war and ex presses contempt for the Turkish army, which, he says, cannot mobilize inside of two months, whereas Bulgaria can mobil ize an army of 250.00) well-armed men very quickly. It is possible, he thinks, that the Sultan, in order to avert a war, nay make concessions, but unless he does so a catastrophe Is imminent. nOSEBKRY RIDICULES IT. Britain's Attitude Toward a Finan cial Inquiry Condemned. LONDON. June 29. The financial ques tion was again the subject of debate in the House of Lords tonight, and brought out a statement from the Earl Of Sel bourne. First Lord of the Admlraltv. that an inquiry would first be conducted by the Cabinet for Its own Information, but Anally there must be an inquest of the opinion of the Nation. Lord Rosebery ridiculed the Govern ment's attitude and suggested that the proposed inquiry was only intended as a mechanism to keep the Cabinet together. This was- the most Important question, he continued, that had been submitted dur ing his lifetime, and the nation should be allowed to take part in IL The govern ment had no right to conceal what its intentions were. Lord Lansdowne declined to reply to the Earl of Rosebery'e direct question what would be the nature lof the government's Inquiry, but the Earl of Selbourne said he agreed with Lord Rosebery that the nation had a right to know what was go ing on and an inquiry must be conducted by the nation, not by a royal commission or party. He admitted that the gov ernment's ideas were as yet indefinite, but they were seeking for fuller Informa tion. The Duke of Devonshire said that there would have to be a public discussion, but he declined to say definitely whther the government intended to announce Its plans before the Autumn campaign opened. RUSSIA MAKING UP WITH JAPAN. Czar's War Minister Is Hailed aa the Harbinger of Peace. ST. PETERSBURG. June 29. The visit of the Russian "War Minister, General Kuropatkln, to Japan has, according to the Japanese newspapers, had a very sat isfactory effect on the relations between Russia and Japan, and has paved the way for a rapproachment. The newspapers of Japan, in expressing satisfaction at this state of affairs, allude to General Kuro patkln as the harbinger of peace, and point out that he has been the Mikado's guest at the Shiba palace, where no for- DANIEL C.

Debussy (Republican Radical), providing for an increase of duties on cattle and fresh meat. Jules Siegfried, Republican-Democrat, contend ed that the proposed duties were unneces sarily high. M. Mougot, the Minister of Agriculture, said the government did not think it was its duty to take the initiative in this matter, anu he thought the In crease proposed was excessive. The pro tectionists, he said, of whom he was one, must not exceed reasonable bounds, other wise they would eventually lose the ad vantages gained. The Chamber passed the first clause of the bill fixing tho duty on oxen In the general tariff at 30 francs and In the mini mum tariff at 20 francs. LIne-Up of the New Reichstag. BERLIN. June 29.

HIS HONOR AT STAKE Payne Sees to Retire Would Leave Him Under a Cloud, ROOSEVELT ROUTS HIS ENEMIES Tho President's Determination to Stand hy the Postmaster-General Has Caused the Press and Others to Abandon Attacks. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 9. The determination of President Roosevelt to retain Postmaster General Payne in the Cabinet has served OF GENERAL JOSEPH HOOKER U?EILED SATURDAY AT JIOSTON. to check the onslaught that was being made upon him in the press, especially of Republican papers, and those believing in the President. Roosevelt Is not easily stampeded, and the attacks upon Payne, the demand that he resign and Brlstow be given his place, did not disturb the Pres ident. He told Payne and other members of the Cabinet, and he also told Hanna that Payne should not resign, and that he would not accept a resignation If ten dered. The fact is, nothing but the most posi tive orders of a physician would induce Payne to resign now. He and his friends recognl2e that to retire now he would leave under a cloud. The only fault found with Payne Is in discreet utterances, and the President will not desert a man for that. Hanna is vi Ually Interested In Payne, and when here made the case of the Postmaster-General a personal matter with the President, but he jiid not need to do this, as the Presi dent had made it a personal matter with Payne, before Hanna's arrival. Hanna also braced up Payne a great deal, assur ing him that his friends throughout the country believed In him. Payne is nervous and somewhat over excited. Before the President returned from the West the assertion was made that either Payne or First Assistant AVynne would have to go, because of the differences between them. As matters stand now. both will remain, and Payne will supervise the Investigation of the postal frauds and the work of the depart ment. There Is no outward break appar ent between the Postmaster-General and the first assistant, but the actual state of affairs Is known to the friends of both. Payne's position, however. Is more secure, because tho President is backing him up. PAYNE TO TAKE A VACATION. Postmaster-General Must Go to the Cntskills for His HenltU. WASHINGTON, June 29.

Mr. Payne will remain over the Fourth of July, and expects to return to his desk early next week. He had no news to make public today re garding the postal Investigation. Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General Bristow said today that he could not an proximate the date of the completion of the Investigation. Mr. Brlstow Is going to Maine to spend part of his holiday fishing, as soon as the Investigation is over, but this may not be until late In the Summer. Third Assistant Postmaster-General Madden returned here today from Detroit. He TO3 closeted with Postmaster-General Payne and Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General Brlstow, with whom he discussed his recently published letter to the Postmaster-General calling for an investigation of the contract held by a manifolding company of Franklin, Pa. Mr. Madden explained his letter to the officials. It is understood that he ex pressed regret at having acted hastily, and repudiated any intention of reflecting on officials of the department in connec tion with published criticisms of tho contract- Mr. Madden had nothing to say lor publication. IN FEAR. OF TARIFF REVISION. Western Woolmen Oppose It From a Business Standpoint. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. June 29. Senator Warren, of Wy oming, who is here after being In the West, says the Rocky Mountain region is not anxious for tariff revision, because Its people have many things that are protect-, cd, and they fear a revision will be detri mental to business. Warren, more than any other man, rep resents the woolgrowers. who have a very high protection, and these interests fear that in any reductions that may be made wool will have to stand a cut with some of the other highly protected products. Warren says the people of the West are all for Roosevelt and believe In him. Hav ing spent some time in Boston, he, has. beenble to gain some Information as to the feeling of business men of the East. He says that men of money, and espe cially a large share of those In business, do not share the Morgan view of the President. In fact, he thinks there is a growing distrust of Morgan and his schemes.

All do notsuffer alike. Some are suddenly seized with the most excrucia ting pains, and it seems every muscle and joint in the body was being torn asunder. Others feel only occasional slightpains for weeks ormouths, when a sudden change in the weather or exposure to damp, chilly winds or night air brings on a fierce attack, lasting for days perhaps, and leaving the pa tient with a weakened constitution or crippled and deformed for all time. An acid, polluted condition of the blood is the cause of every form and variety of Rheumatism, Muscular, Articular, Acute, Chronic, Inflammatory and Sciatic, and the blood must be purged and purified before there is an end to your aches and pains.
