Store Closed Monday Store Open Tonight SV London Editors Answer German Statements. DECLARE THEIR FREEDOM Attitude of Papers Not Con trolled by Government PUBLIC INTEREST DICTATOR Army and Navy Gazette Denies Rec ommendation of Immediate Attack of Kaiser's Navy, as Inferred by Count von Reventlow. CHICAGO, Dec. 23. Special.) The Lon don correspondent of the Chicago Dally News cables the following reply of the editors . of the Times' and Army and Navy Gazette to statements Ironx Berlin to. the effect that British papers had been "curbed" In their anti-German campaign: T the Editor of tbo Daily News "We can ensure you that the attitude of the Tlxiies to nurl Germany or any other foreign power Is ?!tated solely by what the editor coneiders public interest, and is not likely to be afTected In any way by any correspondence that may rave passed between the Britten government and German government. EDITOR OF THE TIMES. This is the Times' answer to the state ment made In Berlin that the German government had succeeded In Inducing the British government to curb the German orhobla of the Times arid other influen tial English journals. The editor of the Army and Navy Gazette, the chief offen der in German eyes, said to the Dally News correspondent this rooming that his paper would continue to treat Anglo-German relations as it saw fit, regardless of any action either the German or British government 'might take. "The whole story," he said, "of the at titude of the Kaiser and his advisers sav ors of Irresponsible instigation. The Kai ser knows well that we know no such thing in England as a semi-official press. Any attempt to muzzle the papers of this country at the suggestion of Germany would raise a storm a hundred-fold worse than anything that has yet happened. William is too sagacious to undertake any thing of the sort. Nonofflcial German naval circles probably never imagine the English press can be controlled after the manner that prevails in Germany, but the Emperor lenows better." According to the editor of the Army and Navy" Gazette, Count von Reventlow, commenting on a recent article In that journal, tore apparently warlike state ments from their context and thus made it appear that the Gazette had recom mended an Immediate attack on the Ger man navy. The editor disclaims any such desire. The articles In the Army and Navy Gazette deeply Impress Germany, because it is known that Sir W. H. Rus sell, who Is the controlling spirit of the paper, has long been an Intimate friend of King Edward and is practically a mem ber of the inner circles of the Admiralty. News Would. Be Welcome. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 23. The ad miralty professes Ignorance of the re port printed by the London Daily Tel egraph today, in a dispatch from Che foo that eight Russian torpedoboat-de-stroyers had escaped from Port Ar thur during a severe snow storm. If knowledge of their contemplated es cape existed here, naturally. It would be carefully guarded for strategic rea sons, until certain that they were clear. There is no attempt, however, to disguide the fact that confirmation of the report would be welcome intel ligence. It is quite possible that ar rangements were made for the de stroyers, with the aid of a collier, to fie southward and join the Second Pacific squadron, to which they would constitute a powerful reinforcement. Admiral Davis Making Calls. PARIS. Dec. 23. Rear-Admiral Davis, t'ie American member of the Interna tonal Commission of Inquiry into the North Sea incident, today con t aucd making calls on cabinet offi cers.

HERREROS CROSS THE BORDER British Will Allow Them to Remain if They Are Disarmed. BERLIN, Deo, 23. The German Consul General at Cape Town announces that according to official British dispatches the ITrerrcro chief, Samuel- Mahereo, has crossed the frontier Into British Bechuan aland ar.d asked permission of the author ities to remain permanently. The -British Magistrate in Ngamlland has received or ders to prevent the Herrcros so far as possible from entering British territory, but those entering must be immediately disarmed and prevented from returning to Oerman Southwest Africa, and the Ger man officials must be permitted to come into the colony and examine the cattle of the refugee Herreros to determine wheth er they arc stolen. The Magistrate has also been informed hat Samuel Mahereo, with a limited num ber of followers, might remain, but that they must settle at a considerable dis tance from the German frontier. Samuel Is the principal Insurgent chief. POST MORTEM SHOWS DRUG. Two Warrants Said to Have Been issued in Case of Dead Deputy. PARIS, Dec 24. A news agency says two warrants have been Issued but have not yet been served In the Syveton case, one of them against Madame Syveton, widow of the Deputy. Although the -officials do not confirm this report. It is be lieved that arrests are imminent. A morning paper affirms that a chemi cal analysis of the Intestines of the late Deputy Syvoton reveals the presence of morphine, and concludes from this that Syveton was drugged before he suffo cated. Looking After Austrian Emigrants. VIENNA. Dec. 23. The Austrian Min is of the Interior has decided to send Chief of Emigration. Department Franz ARMY BILL LITTLE OPPOSED. Social Democrats in the Reichstag Will Make Greatest Demonstration. BERLIN. Dec. 23. There Is a general conviction that the new army bill will not encounter any serious opposition In the 'Reichstag, except from the So cial Democrats. In 1S93 the experi mental adoption of the two-years' ser vice system reconciled the bulk of the Radicals to what at that time was called the Rage ,de Nombrcs, exhibited in the great Increase of the standing: army, which Count von Caprivi's bill Involved. In the present instance the Liberal and Radical elements, with few exceptions, will regard the final em bodyment of the two-years' system ,in the "Imperial constitution as a suffi cient compensation for the expense of an addition of some 10,000 to the peace footing. On the other nand, the Radicals' an nounce that they will take advantage of the occasion, .In order to Introduce during the debate on the estimates, proposals for further reforms in the administration of military justice. These proposals refer to the inequality of punishment which the military code enacts In the case of offenses commit ted by subordinates against their su perior officers, as compared with the case of offenses l by superior officers against subordinates. The Radicals will alsb demand an investigation with regard to the publicity of courts-martial, which was supposed to have been "secured by the last great measure for the reform of military judicial pro- cedure. The provisions of this measure, which relate to publicity., appoar to have been, in many cases, rendered futile by the practice of the military authorities in selecting the locality for the court-martial, and also by a very wide interpretation of the clauses which enable the proceedings to be conducted en camera on grounds con nected with the nature of the offense, and the exigencies of the public in terest. Since the disclosures of the earliest public trial for maltreatment of subordinates, there has been a very liberal resort to the exclusion of pub licity in trials for offenses of this char acter. . Spying System in French Chamber. PARIS, Dec. 23. There was a violent discussion of the spying system in the Chamber of Deputies today. The opposi tion Deputies asserted that the secret official reports touched members of Presi dent Loubet's family. Minister of War Bertealix decided the action of the oppo sition in appearing to defend the Presi dent He said an officer would immedi ately be relieved from duty If It was proved that he made a report referring to the Presidential household, and many noisy demonstrations following required a suspension of the session. The continuation of the debate was not attended by any disorder. The govern ment insisted on a vote of confidence, which was obtained with a considerable majority. No Knowledge of Annexation. SYDNEY, N. S. W., Dec. 23. The local naval authorities deny having any knowl edge of their reported intention to annex the Tonga Lslands, formerly known as the Friendly Islands. The native premier and treasurer of the Tonga group were re cently deported by the British to the Fiji Islands on charges of malfeasance in of fice, which gave rise to the report- French Reverses In Africa. PARIS, De& 23. Private reports received here say that the French military force of occupation in Central Africa has suffered a serious reverse, accompanied by heavy losses, near Tlmbuctoo. There is no' of ficial confirmation of the report- Spanish American Treaty Signed. MADRID. Dec '23. The Ministerial Council has signed the Spanish-American arbitration treaty. BLOODSHED IN NEW HEBRIDES Natives Killed in Tribal Wars and Hung for Murder of Whites. VICTORIA. B. C, Dec 23. H. M. S. Mutlne. which has returned to Australia from a South Sea cruise, reported that tribal wars were being carried on in the New . Hebrides, and many ' natives- were being killed, especially on the Island of Malekufa. With the French warship Muerthe, the Mutlne investigated the 'cutting out" of two trading vessels and the natives "who murdered part of the vessels' crews were guillotined by the French. . , Four natives were executed for the mur der of Captain Pentecost, master of a trading vessel that was attacked, and two were punished with death for the murder of the captain and mate of the ketch La Perle. A joint commission was held by officers of the British and French ships to hear complaints of settlers, mostly concerning land disputes. Germany's Grip on South Sea Trade. VICTORIA. B. C. Dec. 23. Differences have arisen between the commonwealth of Australia and Germany with regard to the exclusive policy adopted by Germany In the South Pacific The question arose after the steamer Ysabel had been held by the Germans until an exorbitant li cense of $2250 per month was paid for trading in the Marshall Group. Then a duty of 58 a ton was imposed on copra shipped in the group on British vessels which trade from Australia. Australia Is considerably aroused over Germany's interference with the com monwealth's" commercial activity' in the South Seas, and there is talk of reprisals. Negotiations are expected to take place regarding the matter, Australia having presented her grievances to London.

OPEN EVEN1INGS ALLEN & Cor. 6th and DEAN CALLS TRUCE Gould Hazers at CoIumbiaWill Not Be Suspended. STUDENTS STAND BY THEM New "Set of Rules Gives Sophomore3 Surveillance of Freshmen, With Under-Class Fight for Vic tims at Dinner. N7W YORK. Dec 23. A truce has been arranged between the faculty of Columbia University and the sophomore class, which resented the suspension of four of their number for participation In the KIngdon Gould hazing affair, and which had threatened to quit the university in a body. The student board, 'represented by the presidents of the various classes, both college and science, met Dean Hutton to day to discuss the suspension of four sophomores. Their decision, which was 1905 FAIR. Peoplo from abroad are asking for information of the Lewie and Clark Centennial Exposition that will be fornudly opened In Portland on June 1 next- The New ' Year's Oregonlan that will be published on January 2 next, will tell all about the great Fair. The paper will be mailed to any address In the fnltel States or Canada, postage prepaid, for 10 cents "copy. Address The Oregonlan, Port land, Or. announced, was that suspension will be left primarily in the hands of the student board. The conditions under which this was arranged are: "First The student board will prohibit hazing in obnoxious form. "Second Freshmen will be under the surveillance of the sopohomores. "Third Any case of 'freshness' of the under-classmen will be brought to the at tention of the board, and they will serve notice op the student that his actions have aroused the animosity of the sopho mores, and they will fix a penalty which they must pay. "Fourth There will be an under-class fight and' the winners will have the right to summon the officer of the defeated class to appear at their dinner." This Is expected to do away with the capturing of freshmen by the second year men. A formal statement Issued today by President Nicholas Murray Butler in an nouncing the suspensions, dealt at length with the enforcement of college discipline at Columbia. In this connection, the statements said: "The university will not permit to pass unnoticed any annoyance of an individual student or any attack upon him by a committee or group of other students whether this goes by the name of hazipg or otherwise. There is no elaborate code of rules at Columbia, the violation of any one of which will subject the offender to academic discipline. Every student Is treated as a gentleman, and Is expected to conduct himself as a gentleman. "Whenever a case has been reported which Involves the persecution of any In dividual freshman by a group of sopho mores who could be Identified, academic discipline has followed and will follow with Increasing severity until the prac tice Is stopped." BURIAL OF THE COSSACKS. Impressively Simple Ceremony on the Manchurian Frontier. MUKDEN, Nov. 25.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Wild and rough as are the Cossacks, they are peculiarly sentimental and - as susceptible as chil dren to the emotion of the hour, whether it be anger or sympathy. One of the most striking sights I have ever wit nessed was the whole of MIstchenkos' division paying its respects to the re mains of the four Cossacks who were killed and mutilated below Slndee. It was some time back. Just toward the end of the Summer. The burial was fixed for 9 A. M. MIstchenko and all his staff and the Fourth Chltaronlment, to which the men belonged, was accorded the place of prominence In the ceremonies. There were no coffins available, and the bodies were wrapped In plaited straw, but so smothered with flowers and native grasses that It was Impossible to see the ghastly bloodstains soaking through the covering till the corpses were lifted from the stretchers to be placed in the grave. The churchly accessories were scanty. An old table had been brought from a deserted Chinese hut, and on It was placed an old regimental Ikon and before It a single bit of 'wax candle, the nearest approach to a taper that could be had. The priest of the Barnaulskl Regiment officiated. He took his place before the table; the order "Hats off, pray." ' was passed down the line, and MIstchenko, setting the example, uncovered and bowed his head while the men knelt, bareheaded, but each with his carbine between his knees. The church accessories may have been poor and simple, but the temple was mag nificent. It was God's own house, a walled in valley with green hills rising on every side, and over all rising a single peak that might have been the spire of this mighty cathedral. The service was sim ple, but affecting, and was soon over. HOMES GILBERT - RAMAKER CO. Merrlson The priest blessed the bodies, and the stretchers were raised shoulder high and passed up the hill past the massed regi ments and the band playing a dead march. MIstchenko and his staff followed on foot like the rest and after the Cossacks had placed the bodies In the open grave, he threw In a handful of earth, and each officer and man of the regiment did like wise. Then the General shook hands with the priest, thanking him for his attend ance on the dead, and also shook hands with and thanked the four Cossacks who had stood In the grave to receive the bodies. Before the assembly was dismissed, MIstchenko briefly addressed the . men, warning them under no circumstances to commit any reprisal on the dead or wounded Japanese who should fall Into their hands. And so far as I have ever heard this mandate has been obeyed. But before the day was out, we had another skirmish with the Japanese, and I heard that every man cut a cross on his car tridge before firing. TRACK SINKS IN SALT LAKE. Every Available Laborer at Work to Keep Cut-Off Open. RENO, Nev., Dec 23. Every available laborer in the employ of the Southern. Pacific Company between here and Ogden Is now at work on the .oucln cutoff, en gaged In a desperate effort to keep the treacherous line across the neck of the great Salt Lake open to the heavy traffic on the line. Late yesterday, a few min utes after the overland flyer, eastbound, "passed over this Toad, It sank nine feet. This condition Is not for the entire jdls tance, but In spots clear across the lake. The startling condition of the roadbed was noticed in time to prevent an accl dent, and since that time men have been at work, not to keep the line level, but to keep the rails in condition to allow the trains to pass over. Today every. mile of the track across the cutoff, a distance of 30 milgb. Is patrolled. Con struction trams-are at woric naming ma terial to build up the sinking' roadbed. which now presents the . appearance. In stretches of a mile, or more, of waves on an ocean. i Until yesterday . tha sinking had been gradual. It Is understood that the company is confident of yet being able to overcome the strange condition In . the lake, and will spare neither effort nor expense In doing so. The big force of men now at work will be maintained until the line is again in perfect working order. Traffic Is Little Delayed. CHICAGO. Dec. 23. The report that the Union Pacific Railway Company was ex periencing great difficulty with the Lucln cut-off of that road over Great Salt Lake, Utah, was emphatically denied here to night by Julius Kruttschnltt, director of maintenance and operation of the Har rlman lines. , "There has been no serious sinking re cently of the grade orr the Lucln cut-off, except the usual subsidence of any newly constructed line," said Mr. Kruttschnltt "The bank at Rambo and everywhere else In Great Salt Lake Is up to grade, and we are shipping away tools and outfits as fast as we can, reserving only enough in case pf further sinks. We had some ordinary settlements this week, but not enough to delay trains except on Decem ber 20, when there was a delay of 40 min utes to one of our passenger trains." BIG INTEREST ON INVESTMENTS All Records for Disbursements Will Be Broken jn January. NEW YORK, Dec 23. Dividend and in terest disbursements to be made In Janu ary will break all records, according to statistics collected by the Journal of Com merce. The compilation Indicates a total of about ?136,COO,000, to be paid out by leading railroad and Industrial corpora tions, local banks, trust companies, trac tion companies and the National Govern ment. This Is nearly 53.000,000 larger than In January a year ago, when total pay ments of similar Institutions were about 5133.SOO.000. The Industrial payments show consid erable falling off because of reduction and passing of dividends, but this is much more than offset by increased payments on the part of the railroads and local traction companies.
