THE MORNING OBEGONIAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1905. SAW NO JAPANESE Hull Fishermen Tell of North Sea incident. RUSSIANS OUT OF COURSE Strange Steamer Seen, but No Japa nese Vessels No Japanese on Board Fishing-Boats, and No Torpedoes Fired. PARIS. Jan. 25. The International Com. mission to Inquire Into the North Sea In cident began hearing witnesses today. meeting was attended by a score of sea men and fishermen from Hull. The first witness was Captain Wood, of the steamer Zoro. plying between Hull and Copenhagen. He 'said that on the afternoon preceding the occurrence of Oc tober 22 he saw two Husslan squadrons proceeding westward. The locality was unusual for warships. Question Were the warships following the course habitually taken? Answer No. They went to the west and not In the normal course, proceeding at about 12 knots. He did not see any other warships dur lng the voyage. ice-Aamirai oouDassoii cross-examined the witness and asked what distance the squadrons were outside the usual course. Captain Wood answered, "Ten or 22 miles." Strange Steamer Seen. Captain Wood further testified that he saw a strange steamer during the" after noon. She appeared to belong to a trans Atlantic line, and had two masts and one funnel. It was a type of ship not ire qucntly eeen In those waters. Rear-Ad-miral Beaumont (Great Britain) appeared to be specially Interested In this state ment, requesting me witness to repeat It. ueorge Bcrhlng, manager of the Trawl ers Company, presented a miniature model of a trawler. The court examined it minutely, and also the signal lamps and nags used by trawlers. Mr. Bcrhlng lengthily explained the fishing process. Admiral tournler of France mildly re monstrating against extraneous evidence. Counsel for Great Britain asked: "On th night In question had any of your boats embarked torpedoes or other engines of warfare?" "Sot at all." No Japanese on Trawlers. "Were any Japanese on board?" "I never heard them spoken of, and never heard a reference to any Japanese warships being In the neighborhood." Counsel for Russia cross-examined the witness for the purpose of bringing out. If possible, the resemblance of a trawler to a torpedo-boat. "Is it possible to confound a torpedo boat with a trawler without sails?" "No, that Is Impossible." The witness added that the company at Hull received constant reports from the fleet. No reports showed that any strange boat had Joined the trawlers. William Shears, steward, and Thomas Carr, Vice-Admiral of the trawling fleet, ffave testimony practically the same as that before the Board of Trade investiga tion. The Russian counsel sought to show that there were discrepancies between the present and former evidence of these wit nesses. Shears was positive that there were ho Japanese aboard any of the trawlers and ave a vivid description of the approach of the Russian warships, the play of their searchlights and the can nonading, which lasted 25 minutes. When he closed Admiral Fournler (French) com plimented him on wearing a medal In rec ognition of his services in saving lives. The hearing adjourned until tomorrow. ALL TURN ON MINEOWNERS. Center Party Joins German Socialists in Supporting Strikers. BERLIN. Jan. 25. The Center party In a resolution presented In the Prussian Diet today asked the government to ap point seven members of the t)let to In vestigate the coal strike. This was done In the interest of the strikers, who hope to force the owners of the mines into a still more difficult position, as they have refused an Invitation of the commission ers appointed by the Ministry of the In terior to discuss the situation with dele gates of the worklngmen. The commis sion asked for by the Center party would have powers that the Interior Department Commission does not have for summoning persons and calling for papers. Germany sees a singular sight in the powerful Center party co-operating with the Socialists in supporting a strike. The higher Catholic clergy are subscribing personally to the strike funds and are an nouncing subscriptions. Wilhelmina's Husband Bumps Head. BERLIN. Jan. 25. Prince Henry of Mccklenburg-Schwerin, husband of Queen Wilhelmlna of Holland, fell heavily on the ice yesterday, striking the back of his head, while skating. Lady Curzon Well and Going to India.

When once completed the benefits derived from it in the way of enhanced values of shipments from the Columbia and. Snake Rivera will more than pay for the cost. "The prompt action of The Oregonian and of the citizens of Portland and the entire Northwest in demanding the improvement of the upper river as well as the Columbia at its mouth is to be commended." Senator Malarkey, of Multnomah Of course I am gratified at the action of the committee. This shows that, if you get things in this world, you have to fight for them. Portland people showed the proper spirit when they fought for the canal appropriation In stead of giving up and quietly accept ing the Jetty improvement only. Great credit is due to Senator Fulton, for the effective manner in which he rep resented the Interest of Orgon, Sneator Pierce, of Umatilla, Union and Morrow The thanks of all Oregon are due to Senator Fulton and Repre sentative Williamson, for the recog nition they have received from the Tlvers and harbors committee. To The Oregonian is probably due the chief credit for the result. The appropriation for the canal seemed lost until The Oregonian took its firm stand for im-pro-ement at both the mouth of the river and Celllo. Then the citizens of Portland and the entire Northwest de manded that the Government keep Its faith with this stateThe action of the committee as announced today means enormous advantage to that whole In land Empire and to Portland.' as welL It means marvelous growth to all the Columbia River basin.

Sir Charles Hardinge, the British Min ister, received from Captain Grove, the British Consul at Moscow, confirmation of the Associated Press dispatch from Mos cow announcing the public posting of a telegram imputing the disorders to Brit- I lsh and Japanese Influences, and he will ask explanations from Foreign Minister Lamsdofff today. It is not expected, however, that the affair will lead to a serious diplomatic incident, and it Is thought the Russian government will dis avow responsibility for the course of Acting cnier of Police Roudeneff. The dispatch to Ambassador Hardinge makes no mention of RoudenefTs offer to meet Captain Grove. to the Government free of cost. For tunately for the Improvement, soon after the return of the engineers re port a special session of the Oregon Legislature occurred which authorized the purchase of the right of way. This was promptly acquired. With these successive step3 there was only lack WORKERS ARE THANKFUL. Partial Victory Brings Weli-Earned Feeling of Satisfaction. The announcement printed yesterday morning that a victory had "been won in the flght for the Celllo canal appropriation was and Is being met with expressions of great satisfaction by all those who have labored so persistently and unremittingly during the past two weeks to bring about the result. The statement from Mr. Burton to the effect that the canal should not receive an appropriation at this time, owing to a shortage In the treasury and a consequent spirit of extreme caution and economy which seemed to pervade the Senate and House, caused dismay among those who had the good of Oregon and Oregon's com mercial interests at heart. It was known that Mr. Burton practically ruled the com mittee on appropriations and it was feared that his influence and dictum would render any effort to secure an ap propriation useless and superfluous. But the fight was taken up and the victory has been won as the result of the efforts of the people and the pressure of the public opinion of the state back of the exertions and persuasions of the Oregon and Washington delegations In Congress. On every hand yesterday were to be heard expressions of thankfulness that the battle had resulted In a partial vic tory, at the least. On some sides regrets were expressed that the continuing con tract clause had not been Incorporated with the appropriation, but at the same time It was said that the first appropria tion would pledge the Government to the ultimate completion of the project and would Insure the commencement of oper ations. The fact that the attitude of the chairman had been changed by the work of the Congressmen Interested was taken as an omen Insuring no further trouble In the securing of appropriations for the fu ture. But through all the discussion of what better might have come to nass runs the note of gratitude and thankfull ness for what has been affected and the spirit of appreciation for the earnest and outspoken work of the people and the paper which was largely instrumental In winning the victory. . D. Wheelwright, nresidont of th Portland Chamber of Commerce, thinks me news so good he can hardly allow himself to believe It true until later de velopments prove It so. "The press dispatches and the tele grams from Mr. Burton, received only a short time apart, arc so contradictory." he said, "that I am waiting to see the news confirmed, lest I be disappointed. But If it is confirmed. It will be victory for the state, the Congressional delegation, the commercial interests and The Oregonian, the loyal support and as sistance of which was InValuable to suc cess. The stand taken bv th nnt. wrought the people up to a spirit of pro test which led on to victory. The aDnro- prlatlon is small, but It pledges the Gov ernment to the final completion of th project and is a great satisfaction to those who have been fighting for it. Henry Hahn. chairman of th nnpn. river committee of the Chamber of Com merce, was also pleased at the news. I am very much gratified at th rMuit of the efforts of the delegation, of the people who Interested themselves an f The Oregonian, which led the fight." he said. "I am disappointed that th nv. ment did not Include the continuing con tract ciause in the appropriation, how ever. As It now stands. If the annronri. atlon bill was, for any reason, to fail to pass, the work on the canal would have to De stopped. SUII we should be thank ful for what has been nrwimniiov,,? though under the continuing contract it would have insured the construction of the canal In about ten years, while, aa it is. It may take 20 to complete. "Great credit should be given the active efforts of the delegations which labored lor the appropriation and for the lveness of The Oregonian in arousing pub-' c enumtni ana leading -the fight. The paper has stood behind the efforts to s- cure an open river from the first, and la this crisis did not fall to step ln.to the breach." G. W. Allen, president of the Rnar f Trade.

Captain Grove, the .British Consul, has called upon M. Roud eneff. the assistant police master, who Is acting In the absence of Chief Volkoff. una requested an explanation of th posted telegram from London, alleging tnat the disturbances at the Russian dockyards and arsenal were due to Anglo- japanese instigation, that both Great Britain and Japan are spending vast sums or money to prevent the Russian second Pacific squadron from reaching the Far iast. and adding that "all Russians who strike are, therefore, in connivance with the enemy.' M. Roudneff produced the original tele gram In evidence of good faith. Captain Grove stated that he would report the matter to the Embassy at St. Petersburg, as he considered that the posting of the alleged telegram Imperiled the lives of subjects of Great Britain, who are cm ployed In factories here. M. Roudeneff as sured him that there was absolutely no cause for apprehension, but assumed the responsibility for the publication M. Roudneff also offered Captain Grove personal satisfaction in a resort to arms. APPEAL TO THE WORKMEN. Trepoff Tells of Measures for Their Relief by the Czar. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 23. The fol lowing proclamation. Issued by Governor- General Trepoff and Minister of Finance Kokovzeff, will be posted in the streets tomorrow: Workmen should assist the government in Its tranquillizing task in behalf of the better ment of their condition. This they can accom plish only by holding themelvcs aloof from fomentors of disturbance, who are alien to tnc workmen's true Interest and to the coun try's welfare. Let them return to their ordi nary labor, which Is as needful for the country as for themselves, for without It they, their wives ana children must suffer dlstres?. and, returning to work, let the Deonle be assured that their needs are a near the Emperor"a neart as those of all His Majesty's true sub jects; that only recently of his own free will the Emperor commanded that the question or worxinrmen'a insurance be taken up with the object of securing them ralnst disable ment or sickness; that this measure does mot exnautt -His Majesty's anxiety for the well being of the working classes, for at the same time the Emperor sent an order Instructing the Ministry of Finance to draft a law short ening the hours of labor and for the elabora tion of such measures as will legalize work' men's dltcusslons of their needs. .me proclamation, wntcn, it is an nounced, was Issued by the Emperor's or der, in Its preamble recounts the origin or the recent events and declares that evil-disposed persons used the workmen as tneir .tools, leading them astray by false and Impossible promises. It says The result of this criminal agitation has been breaches of the peace. Involving the Inevitable intervention if armed forces. These evil wish er have not been restrained even by the dim cult lea In which the fatherland Is Involved In a time of trying war. while the workmen. their blind toolf. have disregarded the fact that demands were being made In their name which had nothing In common with their needs, beside forgetting that the government always has shown and ever shown Itself considerate of their needs, and Is now ready to listen at tentively to their Jut -desires and sat iffy Them wherever possible. To this end the gu-eernmcnt require, above all. the restoration of order and the return of workmen to work, because In times of Ilv turban the government's well-intentioned ef forts for satisfaction of the workmen's de mands, however Ju, Is out of the question.
