THE MORNING -OBEGOKrtAlf, TH0ESDAT, MAECH 30, 1905. PUT CURB ON TURK Newman -of Great Powers Re garding Macedonia. WILL CONTROL THE FINANCES Failure of Austro-Russlan Reform Programme Admitted and Aus trlans Aro Ready to Accept Lansdowne's Plans. VIENNA. March a. The statement. made by the British Foreign secretary. Lord Lansdowne. In the House of Lords resterday. on the subject or Macedonia, was read here with great interest today In official circles, where the opinion was reiterated to the Associated Press that the luerxstec (Austro-Russlan) reform pro gramme has now come to an absolute standstill and Is Inoperative. Lord Lans do -rug's suggestion of the necessity for a project of further reforms. Including1 the financing of Macedonia, was well received in official circles, but little hope is enter tained of successfully carrying it out, pri marily because the opinion prevails that If this Is attempted Germany will with firaw from the existing union of the re form, powers; and use her influence, be' cause of her various Interests In Turkey, to counteract with the Porte any further reform measures proposed by Great Britain. Macedonian conditions have lately been attracting more attention here because of Great Britain's attitude, and also in view of the fact that with the Spring comes a recurrence of the rumors, mostly emanat ing from Turkish sources, of active prepa rations on the part of the Bulgarian bands for crossing Into Turkey. The general situation in Macedonia, while believed here to be serious enough. Is considered nevertheless to be more hopeful and more promising than It was a year ago. The Bulgarian diplomatic agent this morning Informed the Associated Press that Bulgaria was doing all possible to stop the formation of Bui garlan bands and their operations against Turkey. Among other things to this end. the orders which were promulgated last year regarding the maintenance of a zone 20 miles wide in Bulgaria along the Turk ish frontier under strict military rule, in stead of civil administration, have again been promulgated lately with renewed emphasis. The purpose is to render more effective the efforts of Bulgaria to stop the formation and the movements of Dands operating against Turkey. Bulgaria Checks Rebels. Regarding tho depredations and the on slaughts of Grecian bands upon Bulca rlans, the latter naturally will protect tnemseivcs and retaliate energetically. A report from Constantinople to the effect that the Turks have found with dead bodies of former members of Bultra rian bands Maennlicher rifles bearing a stamp showing that the rifles belonged to tho Bulgarian army, if true, is considered nere as fcelng important and as nosslblv showing that the Bulgarians are In secret connivance with the bands. But in fair ness it most be remembered that these rifles may have been obtained originally two years ago. when Bulgaria's attltuda toward the bands was different from what it is declared to be today. In official circles here the Cretan situa tion Js not considered dangerous or of mucn importance. Powers Wlll.Control Finances. In a well-informed but unofficial' quarter it was declared tonight during aiscusion oi iora Latisdownes speech that the Macedonian question will soon enter upon a new and ameliorating phase. The powers. Including Austria ana .Russia, the executors of the -Muerzsteg programme, it was declared. are now convinced that the programme must be enlarged and extended and .Macedonia placed under International financial control, one of the features thereof being that moneys collected by ine autnonues in the vilayets of Sa- lonica, Jttonastlr and Uskub. compris ing Macedonia, shall be employed sole ly for the Teneflt of Macedonia. It is not known here what form the Inter national control will take, but it Is asserted that neither the Ottoman bank nor the Dette Pirbllque will have a hand In the financial part of the control. It was said that there was reason to believe that the principle of Intro ducing further international control In Macedonia has been irrevocably re solved upon by the powers. Should Turkey make passive resistance to this rian ways and means will be found to make that government withdraw Its opposition. These reforms, once started, Tvill be made effective by the powera participating in the movement. GERMAN INTERESTS IN MOROCC Von Buslow Says Kaiser Will Stand for tho Open Door. BERLIN, March 29. Chancellor von Buelow. speaking on Morocco In tho Relchs'tag today, said that Germany would In the first instance place her fcelf in communication wi,th the Sultan of Morocco. Germany had such Inter ests In Morocco as othor trading- coun tries, such Interests as she had In fhina tend other parts of the world. Theso Interests were real, and svould be protected in Morocco according to the open-door principle. Herr Bobel. the Socialist leader, nad raised the Moroccan question by criti cising the government for taking diplo matic action to safeguard German op portunities in Morocco long after the French-British agreement, "when it should have acted a year ago. Chancellor von Buelow said that, al though tne moment was not especially opportune to discuss Germany's rela tions with Morocco, he would say that Emperor William had declared more than a year ago to the King of Spain that Germany had no selfish alms asalnst the territorial Integrity or in dependence of Morocco. The Emperor's visit to Morocco had no aggressive pur pose, but. apart from the independence of Morocco and apart from the Em peror's visit, German economic Inter ests remain to be protected and they would be. These interests were con siderable. Baron von Kardorff. Conservative, speaking before Chancellor von Buelow on Morocco and coupling the names of t rance and Great Britain together, said Germany was not accustomed to under estimate her opponents. Her military power was equal to that of any enemy. The Sued Deutsche Reichs Corres pondenz, regarding as voicing Chancel lor von Buelows views, says Emperor "William's visit to Morocco shows that Germany "continues her relations with the sovereign of Morocco and does not and will not give up such relations to Trance, which seeks to exercise a con trolling Influence in Morocco, Samoan Claims Up in the Air. BERLIN, March The United States and Great Britain have offered $40,000 to Germany as settlement in full of the Sa moan claims of $112,000. Foreign Secre tary von Rlclithofen. In making this statement to the petitions committee of the Reichstag, today, said the question was whether the government should ac cept the ofTer and pay the difference be xwcen the claims and the offer out of the Imperial Treasury or not. The petition" of the Samoans to the Reichstag be seeching an early settlement of . their claims, was referred to Chancellor von Bulow. in consequence of Secretary von RIchthofen's communication.

Chronicles of Men Who Would Be Mayor A Call Upon W. B. Glafke, One of Those Who Aspire to the Republican Nomination THERE Is an apothegm about many being called and few chosen. Saint Matthew Is responsible, for he has brought It down to' us that we might pro fanely use it to define a great political truth.

They hanker for the honor and the power of a high seat in the municipal forum. Of this number one of them will show up some nne morning with a drape of victory-leaves about his brow and a paeon in his heart.

Mr. Murphy, of the pic tures, and I almost caught ounvH-e-H t. ing, "Hello, Bill!" when we came upon the candidate yesterday. Mr. Glafke looks like Tom Johnson, the Ohio Democrat. Ten va am rciofv. could have made a good Democratic cam paign on nis appearance, for in those days tne nepuoiican type was anemic and the Democratic "robustus furioso." Times have changed, and a man with a round, ruddy face, a generous waistband and the name "Bill" is of tho approved mold. "Bill" Glafke. I can't- resist the "Bill," Is a Republican, and Is going into the primaries for the Mayoralty nomination. He Is also -M, and a prosperously success ful business man. His platform Is "Get down to business." I don't think he's a spellbinder. My impression Is that he j would rather undergo an operation for ' appendicitis than make an oration. ; I conceive that If he were elected Mayor he would talk to his councillors and the people n forcible monosyllables. He would talk with his hands In his pockets, and what he said would never get Into the "Library of Greatest Addresses," but St would be business. He Is aggressive and practical. Ho doesn't go much on Brown ing and "Parsifal" gives him a pain. He's not slven to mental or "physical frills. While driving a baker's wagon a good whllo ago he acquired his knowledge of the rudiments of .art. literature and. sci ence, and has been toq busy since to han dle that line of goods. Twenty Years in Portland. To be sufficiently a citizen 20 years is a long enough residence in town, and Mr. Glafke has been here Just that length of time Vnr n T ViHn York via Michigan he had a job with a I oaKer. At j o ciock in tne morning he got out of bed to deliver rolls, and he worked until the day's work was done. It was a pretty severe course of sprouts, but the Vlllard boom had just burst and he was greatly envied by those who were out of work because he drew down a monthly stipend of $35. To attain true greatness it Is a prerequisite that he be at some stage -tin his career a rallsplltter. a canal boy or an amateur cowpuncher.

LONDON. March 30. With a few ex ceptions the Unionist press hitherto has supported Premier Balfour in the policy which led to the recent one-sided scenes and vote i In the House of Commons. Now, however, the party is beginning to show signs of restlveness. "When Mr. Balfour was questioned In the House by "Winston Churchill yesterday, he confessed complete Ignorance of what occurred In the House the previous evening, and was obliged to read the minutes to learn the result of Mr. Walton's motion of want of confidence. This idea of leadership of Parliament does not meet with the approval of all Unionists and last night in the lobbies It was proposed to send a round robin appealing to Mr. Balfour to return to the traditional method of meeting opposition attacks, on the ground that constant eva sion is tending to "bring tho government Into ridicule. The Daily Mall editorially this morning warns Mr. Balfour that he Is wrecking the party to save the Cabinet and de clares that parliamentary proceedings have been reduced to a level which bor ders dangerously near the farcical. It will be much better, the Dally Mall says, to face the issue fearlessly and dissolve Parliament. ANOTHER DEBATE ON TARIFF House of Commons Discusses Its Ef fect on Shipbuilding. LONDON. March 30. The House of Com mons spent another nlgnt in one-sided debate on the fiscal question. No mem ber of the ministry was present. Mr. Osmond Williams. Liberal, offered a mo tion declaring that In the .opinion of the House grave Injury would be caused to the shipping industry and other In dustries dependent thereon by the. adop tion of the changes In the existing fiscal system proposed by Joseph Chamberlain. In the course of the discussion both the mover and Mr. Denny, the seconder of the resolution, referred to the condition of American shipping and shipbuilding as W. B. GliAFKE. ONE Or THE ASPIRANTS FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOM INATION FOR MAYOR, will set forth that "the. self-made Mayor of Portland was once driver of a delivery wagon." The prospective candidate smokes good cigars. He gave me one and said I had been correctly advised. He was In the fight for Mayor. His friends "along tho street'' had promised to support him. and In fact had urged him to run. He will go into the primaries and take pot luck. He's not sure he can win. but will mako an awful stab. A committee of his busi ness associates will conduct his campaign and he will stand as the business man's candidate. Not for a Wide-Open Town. On public questions Mr. Glafke has some of his ideas very clearly defined. Not for a "wide-open" nor a puritanical town, he says. Against gambling because It's not business, and "business" Is his platform. For the enforcement of the 1 o'clock clos ing ordinance because the law says the saloons shall not work over hours. That's what the law says, and It's "business" to enforce the laws. Candidate Glafke says, however, that there are many other matters of public attention In the way of good government that arc quite as Important as those most under discussion. He thinks sewers and bridges and other things which the city makes could be done with less ex pense. Contractors and their f rends seem to be getting too much public money and the public needs money. In Its busi ness. He wouldn't say what he would do with Chief Hunt, but admitted that It he controlled the police, he would have more patrolmen on their beats and fewer In the station. This town should be run an argument in favor of free trade. The speakers said that British shipping and shipbuilding may be ruined by protec tion. Mr. Maclver. Conservative' and Tariff Reformer. half of the shipping interests of Uver- pwu xie pointed out teat American du- ues on snipbuiidlng materials were reim bursed In respect of vessels built in the United States for the farolm anA Met. leg trade.

MAY COMPROMISE IN HUNGARY Coalition Cabinet Is Probable Solu tion of Crisis in Diet. VIENNA. March 29. The political situation In Hungary seems to be clear ing, and the hope Is now freely ex pressed that the end of this week or the beginning: of next will see a solution through both the crown and the Hun garians m axing concessions. The solution is thought to Ua t v,a appointment of a coalition or provlson- ai caDinet. xne main stumbling block still seems to bo the old question of the introduction Of the Marmr hiniio Into the Hungarian army for the word of command. Tonight the Impression Is growing that Count Julius Ahdrassy will be called upon to form the next uaoinec TROOPS ORDERED TO CRETE Prince George Asks Rebels to Yield and Prevent Intervention. CANE A. Crete, March 29. Prince George has Issued a nrnclAmnUnn claring that the powers had ordered xoreign troops to participate In the res- with as careful attention to making it pay as a business proposition as a com mission house. It is different only in form from the selling of cabbages and pota toes. Big City Needs Big Improvements. Portland Is a city now. says Mr. Glafke. and should be managed on a scale com mensurate with Its new importance. The difference between the old Portland of country town days Is the difference be tween a corner grocery and a department store. It requires a bigger and better place in which to do business. So he would pave more streets, enforce building laws more carefully and make the place the equal of any municipal establishment in the country. He doesn't know whom he would ap point ta office In the event of his election hasn't an idea, he says but his ap pointees would bo men who could be de pended on In business. William B. Glafke has a. constitutional right to run for Mayor. .Since his name Is "Bill" and he lives up to It. he may be strong with "the boys." Since he be lieves In Impartial enforcement of laws he may develop a "drag" with the "law and order" element, and since he has a platform which, tersely said, is "busi ness." he may line up trade Interests on his side. At all events, being one of "The Called." he Is Interesting as a public character. Should be he "The Chosen" well, as his days so would his tribula tions be. "Bill" Glafke knows something of what may be In store for .him. but Is not afraldr The office lust Is strong upon him. A. A. G. HAD CATARRH THIRTY YEARS. Congressman Gives Praise to Pe-ru-na for EX-CONGRESSMAN Hon. David Mecklson. Napoleon, Ohio, ex-member of Fifty-fifth and Fifty -sixth Congresses, writes: "I have used several bottles of Perana, and I feel jcreatly benefit ed thereby front my catarrh of tke bead. I fee! encouraged to believe that If I use It a abort time longer I Trill be fully able to eradicate tke dlense of thirty years' standia?.' Hon. David Mecklson began his po litical career by serving four consecu tive terms as Mayor of the town In which he lives. He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his section of the state. , Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising states man. Catarrh, with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only un conquered foe. For thlry years he waged unsuccess toration of order and that, in view of the serious nature of such Intervention, he had requested the government to postpone the action for 36 hours In or der to enable him to notify the people of the decision. The Prince appeals to the revolutionists to lay down their arms. The British cruiser Juno has arrived at Suda Bay. Must Pay for Violating Copyright. . LONDON. March 23. A Jury in the King's Bench division of the High Court of Justice today awarded Captain Frazer $15,000 damages against George Edwardes. the theatrical manager. The plaintiff charged Mr. Bdwardes with Infringing his copyright in an Eastern play. "The Han- jlahn." by the appropriation of the plot, scenes and Incidents therefrom for "The Cingalese." which was a great success at Daly's Theater here. Captain Frazer is a well-known officer of the Indian army and prominent In amateur theatricals. He wrote "The Hanjiahn." which he offered to Mr. Edwardes. The two failed to come to terms, but "The Cingalese" was pro duced shortly afterward, resulting In the present action. SOCIALISTS CAUSED EI0TS Outbreak at Yalta May Be Repeated at Other Crimean Centers. ST. PETERSBURG. March 20. (250 A. M.) The disturbances at Yalta, In the Crimea, were largely fomented by Social Democrats. The same organization, which Includes S000 workmen at Yalta. Is influential- at Marisnople. Sebastopol. Odessa and other Industrial cities, and apprehension is felt lest the Yalta exam ple may be followed at other places. The authorities claim to have the situation at Yalta, well In hand. During the rioting a building in Yalta devoted to the administration of the em peror's estate in Ltvadla. a few miles distant, was pillaged, probably giving rise to the reported plundering of uivadla. Some of the more violent spirits In Yalta. however, are not adverse to attacking Im perial property. Revolutionary proclama tions urging the workmen to attack the palace have been circulated, for weeks. The government is contemplating the opening of navigation of the Volga with apprehension, as the discontent is apt to be carried up and down the river when commerce begins. POLAND'S PRIDE, IS INJURED Czar's Reference to Vistula Country Offends National Sentiment. WARSAW. March 29.-(MIdnlght.) There Is general disappointment here at the tone of the Emperors rescript. The feelings of the Poles have been hurt by the imperial reference to Poland as "the Vistula country Instead of the Kingdom of Poland, one of the Emperors titles being King of Poland. It is also pointed out that the rescript leaves reforms to the bureaucracy, which is hostile to re form measures. Everything, it is now thought, depends on the Governor-Gen eral's Interpretation of bis Instructions to restore order in Poland and the methods he will adopt: but 1C Is quite evident that the rescript has served to embitter the people rather than to pacify them.

The Emperor, accordingly directs the governor-general, while lawfully and firmly suppressing- artificially-supported disturbances, to "proceed to the elaboration of the reforms found to be necessary for the prosperity of the ter ritory Inseparably connected with the other parts of the Russian state."

Neglected Catarrh Becomes Chronic The fact that catarrh will continue ta afflict one person for thirty yeasa shows how chronic the disease really is. When catarrh has once fastened itself upon the human system, it shows a disposition to remain. Catarrh la not self-curative nor aelf- cllmlaative. It continues as Iobs as It la allowed to remain. Catarrh is naturally a chronic dis ease and continues to grow worse, not better. For thirty years Cong. Meeklson had catarrh, and yet he experienced a cure by the use of Peruna. ' Surely, If Peruna will cure a case of 1 catarrh that has run thirty years, it will cure more recent cases. There are prekablr tea million of aacnred cases of catarrh la the United State alone. , What a multitude of victims this Is! I What an ocean of discouragement and , unhappiness! What a Niagara of an- gulsh and suffering! J In all probability Peruna would ' quickly cure every one of theso cases. Taken according to the directions,. Pe runa rarely falls to cure any "case of chronic catarrh. Indeed, if it ever fails, it Is because of some complication entirely one side from catarrh. ; Troubled With Catarrh a Life time.

I "I was so bad that I had lost the sense of smell when I was about fif teen yeprs old. My head and nose were continually filled so that I had to ! breathe through my mouth.

We have on file thousands of testi monials like those given above. We can give our readers only, a slight glimpse of the vast array of unsolic ited indorsements Dr. Hartman Is con stantly receiving for Peruna. Minister Bouligan today received a Jew ish deputation which urged that the Jews be represented in the projected assembly, and expressed the fear that such would not be the case unless special action is taken, as the Jewish element Is almost unrepresented in the Zemstvo and Nobles and peasant organizations. GEJlNB ATOTUE STILL CLOSED No Agreement Has Been Reached for Making Needed Repairs. All efforts to have Grand avenue re paired between East Stark and East Pine streets seem to have ceased. The avenue remains in the condition in which it was left by the Portland Consolidated Railway Company. It is barricaded at East Stark and East Pine, and on either side ot tha double tracks of th& street-car line the space Is covered with timbers and dis carded lumber. Some of the business men on Grand avenue will soon ask tho Execu tive Board to have at least this accumu lation of rubish removed, even if there are no prospects of getting the street repaired and thrown open to the public. J. J. Kadderly, who owns a lot facing Grand avenue, said yesterday that the property-owners were willing to stand the expense of replanking the surface, but not of rebuilding the elevated roadway, which he considers unnecessary.
