THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1905. SHOUTS OF VICTORY Liberals Make House of Com mons Resound. CALL ON BALFOUR TO RESIGN Defeat of Loder at Brighton a Body Blow to Unionists Balfour Sneaks Out and Is Sav agely Denounced. X.ONDON, April 5. The House o Com mons tonight was the scene of a re markable demonstration based upon the iefcat of a government candidate in the bye-election for Brighton, a constituency which for 20 years had not failed to re turn Conservative or Unionist candidates lor Parliament by majorities of 2000 and upward. The House had been engaged in con sideration of a resolution offered by Sir William Tomlinson, Conservative, de claring that "in view of the peril to which the industries of the United King dom are exposed by too great dependence on the United States as the source of supply of cotton and the good results of operations already undertaken by the British Cotton-growing Association, the House desires to express its appreciation of the benefits derived by the encourage ment afforded by the government to the association and looks to a continuance of good offices as essential to the speedy development of the resources of the col onies, dependencies and protectorates for the maintenance of employment in one of the great national industries." A number of members spoke In support of extension of the British cotton-growing territory. Mr. Emmett (Liberal) said the cotton-growers of the United States were already jealous of the government experiments in the West Indies. Exultant Liberals Interrupt. While a somewhat desultory and unin teresting debate was dragging on, there was a rush of opposition members from the lobbies shouting with joy over the Liberal victory In Brighton, where Ger ald Loder was seeking re-election on his recent appointment as Junior Lord of the Treasury, the Liberal candidate be ing E. Villlers. "Villlers is in'." was the cry. which was received with great cheering. Pre mier Balfour, Who was just then enter ing the house, was greeted with shouts of "Resign!" "Resign!" Colonial Secretary Lyttloton had been peaking when the Interruption came and after the demonstration had been quieted, continued, . saying that since l?Kir2 the production of cotton Inside the British Empire had trebled. The govern ment, he added, had not relaxed Its ef forts looking to a further Increase. Ho trusted that Lancashire would assist tho work more liberally in the future. The resolution was adopted unanimous ly. Mr. Balfour left the House almost -mmediately. Beginning of the End. On a motion to adjourn an extraordin ary scene occurred. Mr. Lloyd-George, Advanced Liberal, said he had Intended to question the Premier on the fate that has befallen a member of the adminis tration at Brighton. He complained that on receiving notice that the question would be raised, the Premier had delib erately left the House. The Premier's discourtesy to the House, he said, was becoming absolutely offensive. Several members spoke In support of .Mr. Lloyd-George, declaring that the Government ought to resign. Winston Churchill said it looked like the beginning of the end, and that it was retribution on the government for its shams and shuffles and for the man ner In which the Premier had treated Parliament. Sir Alexander Acland-Hood, represent ing the government on the, treasury bench, having declined to accede to the request to adjourn till Monday In order to enable the government to consider its position, the House adjourned amid loud opposition laughter. UNIONISTS ARE WORRIED. Vainly Try to Explain Defeat Bal four and Chamberlain Confer. LONDON, April 6. Unionist editorial articles this morning reflect the consterna tion caused by tho unexpectedly heavy blow, of the Brighton election. Various at tempts are made to explain the defeat away. The Standard appeals to Promler Balfour to. issue a stirring address or call a meeting of his followers and take them Into his confidence. Mr. .Balfour had a long conference with Joseph Chamberlain last night. The position of Gerald Loder, the de feated candidate, is very peculiar. His duties as Junior Lord of the 'Treasury are nothing more than a party whip, but ho has now no seat in Parliament. BALFOUR LOSES A STRONGHOLD Brighton Elects 'Liberal for First Time in Twenty Years. LONDON, April 5. The most striking overturning of a Lnionlst majority among the recent defeats in bye-olec tions was recorded at Brighton today. when Gerald Loder, Unionist, recently appointed Junior Lord of the Treasury. was defeated by E. Villlers, Liberal. Va lors' majority was S17. The Conservative majority at Brighton in the past 20 years was never less than 2000. Mr. Loder was seeking re-election at this time on his appointment as Junior Lord of .the Treasury. The election turned almost altogether on the fiscal question. The Liberals did not expect to win, but would have been well satisfied with a reduction of the hitherto consistent Conservative majority. EMPEROR GIVES UP STRUGGLE No Agreement in Hungarian Crisis After Repeated Conferences. VIENNA. April 5. Emperor Francis Jo seph returned thlB evening from Buda pest. All his efforts to secure a solution of the Hungarian Cabinet crisis have been .fruitless, and today the situation Is prac tically the same as it was two months ago. The lower house of Parliament ap parently will continue In session, deepite the Emperor's request that it adjourn until a solution can be reached, and there Is danger that the debates In the House will lead to.greatcr trouble between the crown and the opposition Parliament ary majority. The old Ministry, of which Count Tisza is the head, remains, but lta members practically are only the crown's execu tives. There is little probability of legis lation, even that which Is most needful, under the present circumstances, the mi nority being absolutely opposed to the Ministry. ' It is seml-offlcially announced here to night that the demand? of the combined opposition in military matters, the most important of which is the use of Hungar ian as the language of command, cannot be obtained in a constitutional manner, and that decisive steps by the crown toward a settlement of the crisis will only be taken after the" combined opposi tion has shown whether It purposes to at tempt to gain Its demands unconstitution ally or not. This meana. in other words. that the crown says to the opposition: "We will wait what you are going to do." A report which is current this evening to the offect that Emperor Francis Joseph purposes talking over with the heir appar ent. Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the en tire Hungarian situation, causes consid erable interesting comment, because It will be the first Instance of the Emperor consulting his probable successor concern ing affairs of state. Roosevelt the Jews' Best Friend. LONDON. Anril 5. Speaking at a ban quet, Israel Zangwlll declared last night that in the whole history of the world the Jews never had a better friond than President Roosevelt. Referring to Great Britain's" offer of ter ritory in East Africa, he said the bulk thereof might be of use for rearing goats. but it was doubtful whether a settlement 500 miles from tho sea offered sufficient basis for a prosperous Jewish colony. If Encland really wished to offer a so lution to the Jewish question.' said Mr. Zangwlll, "she should enable them to expand under the same self-governing conditions over a considerable adjoining area, so they might be inspired to colo nization on a great scale. Think All Americans Are Thieves. ST. PETERSBURG, April i.-Queer ideas of American life are being dissemi nated by American correspondents of Rus sian papers. A correspondent of the Journal de St Petersburg draws a rare picture of the dlehonesty which he says pervades the highest circles.

Stevens Dies of Injuries. LONDON. April 5. A private tele gram from Monte Carlo says that Frank Stevens, one of the two Ameri cans injured in an automobile accident near Monte Carlo, April 3, Is dead. Stevens' companion, Louis Hay, who was hurt at the same time, is making progress towards recovery. The body of Stevens -will be sent to America. CHANGE IS CHARTER. St. Johns City Attorney-Elect Will Resign. Judge S. H. Green, elected City Attor ney of St. Johns, will place his resigna tion in the -hands of Mayor-elect W. H. King as soon as the latter is regularly Installed in office, in order to avoid future legal complications that may arise con cerning his eligibility. While the charter that has been printed and under which the recent election was held is the one which passed the House and Senate and received the signature of the Governor It is not exactly the charter that is on file In the office of the Secretary of State. The charter as printed, so It is claimed, and as passed by the Legislature makes the office of City Attorney elective, but the charter as filed In the office of the Secre tary of State makes the office of City Attorney appointive. It is charged that the change was made after the passage of the charter bill and-before it was filed In the office of Secretary of State. Judge Green said yesterday that there Is no question about the change being made after the charter had been passed. "I have a letter from Mr. Gatens," said Judge Green, "that says the charter on file fn Salem makes the office of City Attorney appointive. There were no amendments made to the charter in either house. We were not allowed to get hold of It for that purpose, so this change must have been made afterwards, and for ray benefit, as for the past five years I have not been on the best of terms with the people who got up the charter and got it through. They thought that I was really the only available man for the office of City Attorney, so they thought that if made elective I might be elected; therefore, the charter was altered, mak ing the office, appointive. They claimed that the printed charter, making tho of fice of City Attorney elective, was wrong. and said that tho correct charter on filo in the office of Secretary of State, mak ing It appointive, is the correct charter, and hence neither the Citizens nor Inde pendent tickets made nomination for the office. Only the Good Government people nominated me for the office. I shall re sign and give Mr. King opportunity to ppolnt an attorney to prevent possible legal complications. If any question should arise as to the legal Interpretation of the charter, concerning the election of the City Attorney, of course recourse would be had to the charter on file in the office of the Secretary of State. If 1 resign, that will make the office vacant, and then the Mayor can legally appoint a City At torney to nil tne vacancy, uwing to tne peculiar situation of the charter I can Imagine legal complications might arise over matters with which the City At torney deals, and I don't want to cm- barasB the incoming aQmlnistration. have confidence that Mayor-elect King will merit the confidence the people have placed in him. The Good Government people arc well pleased with his election The men "who have been elected to the Council are first-class citizens. PALLS IN RIVER, AND DROWNS. Simonson Sinks in the Willamette and Rises No More. james .ri. simonson. agea 3o vears. was drowned yesterday afternoon In the "Willamette River, by falling off the Ban- fleld-Vesey Fuel Company's docks noar the foot of Twentieth street. The acci dent occurred about 2 o'clock in the af ternoon. The deceased left a wife who lives at 632 Guilds avenue. He was a laborer and had been employed by the Banfleld-Vesey Fuel Company about a year and a half. His body has been re covered. Simonson was at work at the time of the accident, unloading wood from the wagons onto a scow. The wagons drive up on the wharf and they have but little space to turn in. As one of the wagons was turning around Simonson stopped to the edge of the wharf to give the driver more room. The wagon was shoved up close to him and he . lost his balance. falling bead first in the water below. Un like most persons who drown, Simonson never arose to the surface after the waters had closed over him. The water Is about 20 feet deep at that place. His body was rescued from the "Willam ette about 15 minutes after he had fallen Into the water and although a physician worked fully 'a half hour in an effort to resuscitate him he showed no signs of life. Superintendent J. H. Brdwn, of the Banficld-v osey, Henry Yost and sev eral laboring men who were working alongside Simonson In the unloading of Government Call for Money. WASHINGTON, April E.

KAISER TOOK FIRST STEP AGREEMENT FOR CHINESE NEU TRALITY DUE TO HIM. State Department Papers Show Part He TookWhile Other Powers Hesitated, He Spoke Out. WASHINGTON, April 5. That It was upon the suggestion of Emperor William that President Roosevelt. last February, undertook to arrange certain actions on tho part of the neutral powers for the purpose of Inducing the belligerents In the Far Eastern War to respect tho neutral ity of China, Is for the first time offi cially disclosed in the advance sheets of foreign relations made public at the State Department today. It has been hinted for a long time Jhat the German Emperor was the initiatory force In these Import ant exchanges, but It has until now been impossible to obtain any official confirma tion of the fact. In the correspondence with Germany. Is included a paraphrase of a cablegram ad dressed by Secretary Hay to Mr. Tower, the American Ambassador at Berlin, Feb ruary 15, after Germany's acceptance of the Invitation of .Secretary Hay had been received directing the Ambassador "to convey to the Emporor the Presidents profound appreciation of his generous In illative and powerful co-operation In the matter of Chinese neutrality." The official paraphrase of Mr. Towers reply, dated Fobruary 17, reads: "Mr. Tower reports that he conveyed to the Emperor the profound appreciation of tho President of his initiative and co operation in tho matter of Chinese neu trality, and that the Emperor was ex ceedingly gratified and expressed most friendly sentiments toward the Presi dent." It is significant that in the acknowl edgment of the acceptances by the other powers of tho programme suggested by Secretary Hay In his note of February 8. only in the case of Germany did the President send a personal message of appreciation to the sovereign. It Is not possible to state that the rea son Germany's Initiative was kept secret was because of the German Emperors belief that the suggestion about Chlneso neutrality would be the moro certain of success If emanating from Washing ton, particularly In view of Secretary Hay's previous activities In the same di rection after the Boxer troubles of 1S00. Accordingly, his suggestion was conveyed to the President through Speck von Stern berg, the German Ambassador. Secre tary Hay returned at once from thp South, and after a conference with the President and the German Ambassador, undertook the far-reaching diplomatic move to which Is due the fact that China's neutrality has thus far been for the most part respected by Russia and Japan. At the present moment the iurther disclosures In the now volume of for eign relations regarding- the attitude of the several powers toward the Hay proposal of last February are signifi cant. It Is shown that Lord Lansdowne. before Indicating Great Britain's ac ceptance, desired to know whether Manchuria- wjuj included within the paraphrase "neutrality of China." He was answered in general terms that It was the desire of the Washington Gov ernment to secure the smallest area of hostilities and the largest possible area of neutrality compatible with the mil itary necessities of the belligerents. France, through M. Delcasse, accord ing to Ambassador Porter's report. while receiving the proposal In the best Bplrit, showed "a little anxiety to know the exact significance of tne nhrase "administrative entity." This phrase, it can be stated, was not in eluded in Emperor William's sugges tion, which concerned the general ques tion of Chinese neutrality, but was the creation of Secretary Hay. Later France signified her full acceptance. Italy preferred to await the views of the Cabinets at Berlin, Paris and Lon don before actively participating in the plan and Austria-Hungary was equal ly reticent. Ambassador Storer says of his interview with Count Goluchowskl on the subject that the Foreign Minis ter "was quite cool anil rather pessi mistlc, so far as any effect could be anticipated. In making known tho answer of tho German government Ambassador Tower reported that "the German gov ernment sympathizes fully with tne purpose of the United States on bohalf of humanity, the protection of foreign ers in China, the maintenance of order and tho safeguarding of the commerce of the world," and that Germany be licves that to attain these purposes the support of tne neutrality of China would be the most available moans, and the German government Is pre pared to act in harmony with the United States and the other neutral powers to assure the neutrality of China Insofar as this may bo compatl ble with the respective military Inter ests of the belligerent powers. NO FEAR OF BOXER OUTBREAK Conger Disposes of False Alarm Raised by Russia.. WASHINGTON, April 5. Russia lias been informed by the United States that. so far as the American Minister at Pokln. Mr. Conger, has been able to find out. the reported anti-foreign movements in China are not unusual In extent or character. The Russian government re cently requested Secretary Hay to in quire into this matter, which was a cause of some anxiety at SL Petersburg. Mr. Conger says that during the past year he received information at various times of tho existence and activity of certain secret societies In different prov Inces. The societies have existed dur ing the whole period of the Manchu rule, and as a rule, local rebellions occur near ly every year. The aim of the societies. Mr. Conger says, Is to overthrow the present Manchu dynasty, and at times they have attacked foreigners. Mr. Con ger finds that at presont these societies are not unusually-, active except in tho province of Kuangsl, and that there the movement Is wholly antl-dynastlc. Before receiving his Instructions Mr, Conger already had called the attention of the Chinese Foreign Office to the re ports in circulation and had been as sured in a note that the .rumors as to such wore baseless; that a society of bandits had been discovered at Tsuchou in this province. Chill, and several of Its members arrested and that the Governor of Hunan had Informed the Chinese gov ornment of the arrest and execution of two members of the society at Anyang, In that province. Concluding his re port. Mr. Conger says: I have the honor to state that, in my opinion, while more or less dissatisfaction exists throughout the country, It is not un usual in extent or character. The secret societies are chiefly anti-dynastic In the! forms, but are also hostile to foreigners and .were they able to effect a general rising, undoubtedly would attack foreigners as well as the Imperial officers, civil and military But these societies aro scattered over an enormous extent of country, arc widely sep arated from one another, and are not work lng in harmony. Every attempt to create a disturbance has been futile so far, except in Kuangsl and there the rebels held nottv ing but their mountain fastnesses. The cen tral government is alert and determined to prevent any disturbance of the peace and Is earnest In Its efforts to' protect all foreign lives and property. MUST IMPROVE THE WHANGPU Hay Calls Attention to China's Neg lect of Her Agreement. WASHINGTON, April 5.-ChIna's failure to assist the powers In undertaking the . lmnrovement of tho Whangpu River, as she was pledged by the peace protocol of 1991 to do. and the inability of the Ameri can Minister at Pekln to obtain any satis factory explanation on the subject, caused Secretary Hay recently to address the Government's signatory to the Pekln peace protocol on the subject Mr. Hay expressed this Government's acceptance of China's conditions that the protocol be so amended as to enable China to undertake the entire work unaided by the powers. This acceptance, however. was conditional on the presentation by China of good and sufficient guarantees that "China would promptly begin tho work, carry it to a satisfactory conclusion and maintain it afterward." The other powers wero asked to instruct their diplomats at Pekln In accordance with this last proposition. Thus far China has not fulfilled the Secretary's condi tions. Japanese Minister Will Rest. WASHINGTON, April 5. Minister Taka- hlra, of the Japanese delegation, called on Secretary Taft today and told him that on account of the state of his health he would be compelled to leave Washington for a different climate. He also states that there have been no further develop ments toward a settlement of the war. The Secretary and the Minister arranged to communicate with each other In case anything happens to make It necessary. Hay Enjoys Genoese Climate. GENOA, Italy, April 5. Secretary and Mrs. Hay, who are stopping at tho Hotel Isotta, again took a drive to day. Mr. Hay is looking better every day, and says the bracing air is In vigorating him.' GENOA,. April 5.

Major-General Gillespie, of the Army, will retire June IS at his own request. Brigadier-General Randall will be promoted to the vacancy. FRAIL BRIDGE COLLAPSES. Twenty People Fall In Palouse River and One Drowns. COLFAX, Wash., April 6. By the col lapse of the sidewalk on the footpath of the bridge across the Palouse River in.the heart of the city a score of young people were precipitated Into the shallow stream below. Less than an hour later the life less body of Miss Mary Onstot, of Asotin, was found. When .the footpath collapsed the screams of the unfortunates could bo heard for blocks. Added to the con fusion were the darkness of the spot and the difficulty of getting the half strangled people up the steep banks from tne water. But tho work of rescue was done quickly and It was thought com pletely until the body of the young wo- wan was found. She had struck a timber in the fall and It is believed had made her wav to the bank only to wander In a dazed condition into the river again, there to drown. The glee club from Pullman, after sriv- Ing a successful entertainment In the theater, had walked to the bridge, where tho members, accompanied by other Pull man citizens and a host of Colfax friends-. were waiting for tho special train to Pullman. Tho weight of the crowd was too much for the frail. supports and they gave way for a dlstanco of ten or 15 feet. Nationalists Control in Cuba. HAVANA. ADril 5.

MANY EUROPEANS ARE KILLED Dharmsala Is Razed to Earth Rocks Roll From Mountains and Crush Whole Village Hundreds Of Lives Are Lost. 'CALCUTTA, April 5. Later advices from various cities tell a tale of severe damage to property arirfn from the earthquakes on the morning of Apm 4, hut It Is Impossible as yet to estimate the extent of the loss of life. No news nas et been received of damago to buildings at Atrra. No loss of life is reported from Delhi, but many buildings were damaged. Visitors from ilussorec report consid erable damage to private property. It Is a curious fact that the older houses In Mussoree received less damage than mod ern buildings. The only fatalities yet re ported there were two natives. Many houses were completely aemouaneu. ins fissures In the roads have been closed and repairs to buildings have "beei start ed. Tho weather was bright and warm when the earthquake occurred. Four or five shocks yesterday evening caused a Blight recrudescence of the panic. The latest dispatch from Delhi reports that no further shocks had occurred up to midnight. Dharmsala Is Destroyed. Dharmsala Station. S5 miles northwest of Simla, was destroyed, all the houses In the place being leveled to the ground and some Europeans and many natives killed. Ladles and children are sleeping In the open air. Food la not procurable. as tho bazaar is In ruins. Urgent de mands for medical assistance have been sent to Lahore. Reports indicate that Dharmsala felt tho full force of the shock. The deaths include C. W. Loxton, who only the previous day had assumed the office of District Judge from Captain El liott, who, with his family, left the same day, escaping the shock. Mrs. Loxton's fate Is not known Others who perished were F. M. Levi, C. T. Young, T. Miller and F. Farleys. all public officials; Cap tain Muscroft, Mrs. and two Misses Rob inson. Colonel Robinson appears to have survived. The hills show the worst effects of the shock, though information is very meager from some of the Summer stations where telegraph offices have not opened, like the Vale of Kashmir, communication with which has ejfidcntly been cut off by land slides or accidents to the line. Many Natives Killed. At Frozur (40 miles sduthwest of La hore) Amtrltsar, Tarana, Dehra Dun and Srlnagar many natives were killed or In jured. Stories from Mussoree state that the reverberation which preceded the shock never will bo forgotten by those who heard It. The mountains heaved and swayed a full minute and then three se vere shocks, each lasting a few seconds, were felt In quick succession. Between 6 o'clock In the morning of April 4 and midnight there were 12 shocks. The day was fine and clear and most of the in habitants were already up when the flrsl shock came. Those who were still in bed described the motion as being like that of a ship in a storm, while those on foot found It Impossible to maintain their balance. Many narrow escapes are reported. The eeffct of the shock In sick ness and dizziness with many still con tinues. A number of people slept out doors during tho whole of last night. WRECKED BY AN EARTHQUAKE Nine Europeans and Many Natives Killed at Dharmsala. LAHORE!. India, April 5. The hill sta tion of Dharmsala was practically razed to the ground by the earthquakes. Tho native quarter was entirely obliterated, many of the Inhabitants were burled in the ruins, most of the houses In the Eu ropean quarter were wrecked, and nine persons were killed. The people are sleeping In tho open air, food Is not pro curable, and tho great distress prevailing Is accentuated oy keen fro3t. The en tire population Is homeless and encamped on the adjoining hillsides wltnout protec tlon and practically entirely without med ical aid. A relief party was dispatched from here to Dharmsala today. Tho Europeans killed at Dharmsala were Mrs. Robinson, wife of the Colonel commanding tho troops there, and her two daughters, Mrs Holdorness, Captain Muscroft and four members of the Indian Civil Service. Although almost every house and some if the public buildings sustained very se rious damages and while there were a con lderable number of fatalities, yet on the whole the city's civil stations seem to have stood the severe nnd prolonged shock better than might have been expected. Considering the number of heavy domes, slender minarets and cupolas poised on light columns and the tall houses with The best disinfectant of all is soslight It destroys by its very brightness all sorts of germs and at the same time helps the grovctfc of plants and animal life.

Pierce notable for his surgical achievements at his hospibsl in Bufxalo, hut nearly a third of a century ago he discovered certain foots and herbs which were nature's remedies, and suc ceeded in putting them up in a form that would be easily procured and ready to use.
