SPECIAL. CABLE.
WARSAW, March 25. With astonishing
quickness the agrarian movement Is
spreading in Qentral and Southern Rus
sia. Besides the Polish. Georgian and
Baltic provinces, there are 12 other prov
inces where the peasants are partially in
revolt.
With Moscow as a center, there are two
circles of revolt. The first consists of
four provinces Smolensk. Kaluga, Orel
and Tula all on the borders of Moscow.
The second circle is larger, and consists
of eight central and southern provinces.
In which the population consists of pure
Russians.
Trodps cannot be eent against the peas
ants quickly, because the districts in
which they are in revolt are far from the
railways. The proprietors there complain
In the newspapers of tho inactivity of the
local authorities. The officials, on the
other hand, defend themselves by saying
there are not sufficient police. Cos
sacks and troops to distribute among the
villages.
Even the' army is now permeated by the
revolutionary spirit. In many cases the
soldiers openly express an abhorrence of
killing their brother workers. The Kiev
committee of revolutionary offlcera has Is
sued a proclamation -which Is circulating
in the army and elsewhere, in -which it is
said that the state dishonors the army
officers by sending them against the peo
ple, and that it is the duty of all honest
and patriotic officers to refuse to obey or
ders of the government.
FORCING OPEN DOOR TO LIBERTY
Liberals Secure Representation on
Committee for National Assembly.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 24. Tho
Liberals apparently have -won a par
tial victory In the composition of the
Bouligan committee to elaborate the
scheme for national representation un
der the imperial rescript. Planting
tnemselves sauarely on the demand for
a chamber of parliament elected by
universal suffrage, -with, control of the
budget administration, they insisted
that the commission of bureaucrats
could not be trusted to execute the
popular -will, and, backed by the press,
they kept up their agitation for the
participation of elected representa
tives. Powerful support -was also furnished
by the Zemstvos and professional and
educational bodies throughout Russia,
which flooded M. Bouligan, Minister of
the Interior, and the committee of
Ministers -with" resolutions of the same
tenor and purport. The Liberals, if
they could secure control of the com
mittee, would vote a proposition for
the election of a constituent assembly
whlcn -would pronounce for a constitu
tion. The government, however, to
prevent such, a contingency, only yield
, ed , the. admission of the commission of
"selected," not "elected" representa
tives. The Government's programme undoubt
edly is to restrict the body created under
the rescript to a chamber composed of
representatives held by classes sitting in
conjunction -with the Council of the Em
pire, but having only a consultative voice
In legislation, thus preserving Intact the
principle of the autocracy. Unless future
events force the government's hand, this
programme -will be adhered to, but the
Liberals contend that, even if the gov
eminent consents to the actual assemv
tiling of such a chamber it would easily
force Its own demands and necessitate
either its suppression or its transforma
tion into a real legislative assembly.
YIELDS TO POPULAR DEMAND

Intention to give heed to moderate de
mands. It is noticeable that Minister Bouligan

The work of art pictured a young
woman colling' her hair, a very graceful
example of modern Italian sculpture.
Mr. CIcmeas looked at it a moment, and
then he said, "It isn't true to nature."
"Why not"? asked his host.
"She ought to have her mouth full of
hairpins."

SAD TIMES AHEAD FOR DOGS
Two Hundred Tribesmen Are Assem
bled at Manila Awaiting Passage
Bringing Material for Gro
tesque Huts and Curios.
The Igorottes are coming!
So are the.Tlnguanes, the Bogaboes, the
Moros and the Filipinos. From far-away
Manila 2J of these swarthy-skinned, dog-
devouring heathens will sail for the Lewis
and Clark Exposition next Monday morn
ing. A private cablegram conveying this
information was received yesterday morn
ing by the Exposition management. The
message was from T K. Hunt, the "med
icine man" of the Filipinos, who will have
charge of the villagers. They are, due to
reach here the latter part of April.
Immediately upon their arrival in Port
land the natives will be marched to the
Exposition grounds, where skilled native
workmen will set to work constructing
the five Filipino villages which they are
to Inhabit during the four and a half
months of the Fair. They will bring all
their material bamboo poles, skins, straw
and thongs with them, and "will make
short work of putting their abodes in
shape, as a majority of the natives are
skilled in the art of building these rude,
primeval structures.
A Picturesque Feature.
One of the most picturesque parts of the
big Exposition will be this encampment.
It will be located at a somewhat remote
part of the Government Peninsula in
Guild's Lake. One. of the features will
be houses built In the lake on poles. In
the Philippines the natives frequently re
sort to this expedient to avoid reptiles
and other foes of their kind. There will
also be tree houses. These will be built
by the Moros. who. with the Igorottes.
stand lowest in the scale of civilization.
They are of Malayan extraction and dif
fer in many respects in their tribal cus
toms and habits from the Negritos, who
are the aborigines of the island provinces
and a puzzle to students of anthropology.
In tnelr habits the Negritos are savages,
while the others are somewhat more .ad
vanced. Very Fond of, Dog Meat.
Dog Is held to high esteem by the Igo
rottes. Not dog, as that term Is under
stood by Occidentals, but dog boiled. It
is no ordinary meal, and is only partaken
of on occasions, in accordance with cer
tain ceremonial regulations. In their na
tive country dogflesh is supposed to add
fervor to the warrior's fighting prowess.
Accordingly the canine relish Is eaten
only by the men, women being refused
the rare treat.
Of 'course there will be no fighting for
the Igorottes to do at the Fair, unless
they wish to get mixed up in a seance
with the Police Department, but they will
need more than ordinary strength for the
tribal festivities and sham' battles which
they will go through each day. Accord
ingly, not a few canines which are now
meandering unsuspectingly aboub the
streets of Portland are destined for an
Ign,oble fate in the camp of the" heathen
Igorottes.
But, of course, the entire village is not
made up of relics of savagery- There
will be some Interesting displays of a
higher order. There will be specimens of
the products of native skill in weaving,
molding and carving. The Visayans are
exceptionally clever in carving and weav
ing. They will be somewhat apart from
the others in a sort of vaudeville theater.
The women are skillful In weaving, and
they will show the processes of combing
out long strands of pineapple fiber and
converting them Into beautiful cloths.

Cures That Seem Beyond Belief.
. ? ?ldd oea 1101 c,alla to d the impossible or miraculous, but nevertheless the earoa
told ot In the many grateful letters received fromvpatients are positively astonishing and
marvelous. The following extracts from a few letters tall a vivid story of long suf
rerlnc and wonderful cures; A. HInkleman. Lombard. Mont., says; "I suffered from
heart trouble since 1892. more than I can describe. Life wao miserable. I took treat
ment from doctors In all parts of the United States without' a particle of good. Today
healtby and sound as any man could wish to be. and I owe It all to Dr.
Kldd. Mrs. Jane Ash. Chestnut Mount. Tenn.. says: "I had rheumatism about 34
years. I could hardly get out of a chair. Fifteen days' use of your treatment cured
me."
E. J. Mills, of Woodbine. V?. V.. 62 years old. a sufferer for ten years from kidney, blad
der and stomach trouble, tells of a remarkable cure: "When I began your treatment I
could hardly turn myself In bed; I was nearly paralyzed In my left side. I am entirely
cured." More remarkable still is the case of 8. V. Corley. Kestler. Ala., who says: "My
condition was such that the case baffled tha skill of local doctors, and I was given up
by my friends and family. After seven days' treatment. I am able to eat heartily, ride
I horseback, perform manual labor of any kind. I know, that I am cured and I thank
i Dr. Kldd for my recovery." Hundreds of letters of this kind from men and women
cured of rheumatism, kidney trouble, heart disease, partial paralysis, bladder troubles,
stomach and bowel troubles, plies, catarrh, bronchitis, weak lungs, asthma, chronic
coughs, nervousness, female troubles, lumbago, skin diseases, scrofula,- Impure blood,
general debility, etc.. prove the doctor's remarkable ability.
The Newspapers:
In an interview last month Dr. Kldd said In bis office to the reporters present: "Gen
tlemen, I know why they ve talklg about me and saying my methods are revolutionary.
Tou may state for me and from me that I have some faith yet In human nature. I know
that the 400.000 sick and hopeless people who stretched out their hands to me without
a dollar In then knew and belle-red In my honor and skill and in the power of Kidd'a
treatment to lift them up again and make them well and strong. It's pretty late In
the day for criticism. No petty jealousy is any answer to my army of patients who are
well today and voice the praise of my treatment. They know" It these people know
lt. I know It. And I value that great health-record and the confidence of my patients
Infinitely more than picking a dollar here and there from tha fingers ot some sick
-woman. Tou may publish that statement or not as you please,"

INVESTIGATIONS IN BENTON.
Special, Agent of Interior Department
Searching the Records.
CORVALLIS, Or.. March 24. (Special.)
The late timber land transactions in
Beaton County.are apparently to pass un
let tt go by when you come to
know that
der the scrutiny of. an official investiga
tion by the Government- Inspector Nel
son has been searching the records at tha
Courthouse with respect to timber land
operations for several days past, but the
fact of his errand only leaked out this
morning. He came iIonday. and left yes
terday, though it Is understood that he is
to return.
One hundred persons, mostly nonresi
dents, filed on Benton timber lands dur
ing the late timber excitement. About 3J
citizens of Corvallis secured title to
claims. Last November, It has -been,
learned, a search of the county records as
to timber operations was made at the In
stance of the Interior Department, and
the information forwarded to Washington.'
It has developed that though no transfer
of land is recorded, in numerous Instances
other persons than the original claimants
are paying taxes on a large number of
the claims.
"Four persons In Oregon are paying taxes
on such claims, the title to which 13, so
far as the records are concerned, vested
In others. No expression, so far as known,
has" escaped the Hps of the inspector to
suggest whether or not the operations
here are out of harmony with that' which
the Interior Department considers the
legitimate In timber operations.
Case Continued Until Today.
"I just went back, to say good-bye,"
was the. only excuse Frederick Pokorney
could give yesterday, when arraigned in
the Municipal Court and asked why he
went to the home of Mrs. Thomas Hallen
after having moved to another place of
lodging. The net result of his return was
that he was felled down a 16ng flight of.
stairs by Mr. Hallea, received bruises, in
the fall, was shot at, arrested and
charged with being drunk and disorderly.
Hallen, when arraigned, pleaded guilty
of discharging fire arms In the city limits,
but denied striking Pokorney. As therej,
was a rush of busines In court yesterday,
the cases were continued for .further hear
ing today. The trouble occurred because,
it was alleged, Pokorney insulted atr.
