HINT -READINESS FOR WAR Kaiser's Chief of Staff Tells Him Germany Is Jleady to Fight, . "While France Is at a rS- " Disadvantage. CHICAGO, April 19. The Chicago Daily xews prints the following from its Berlin correspondent: "Telegrams were received from the Kaiser today ordering three prominent army officers to join the German mission to Morocco. The officers are Colonel von Schenck, commander of the Alexander Grenadier -Guards, the regiment of which the Czar is honorary Colonel; Major von benaen, German military attache at Madrid, a member of the First Dragoon Guards, of which the Czarina is hon orary Colonel; and Captain von Klelnst, a member of the general staff and of the Kaiser's body guard. The appoint ment of two high officers of the Czar and Czarinas German, regiments is consid ered to amount to an affront to France. AH the military men are jubilant. They consider the Kaiser's selections as tanta mount to an expression of his willingness to let things come to an Issue with France, even at the cost of war. The Dally News correspondent learns that Count Schlieffen. chief of the general staff, has laid comprehensive assurances before the Kaiser within the past three weeks to the effect that Germany is fully prepared to light the French, who are known to be seriously unprepared, owing to changes that are being made In their rifle rendered necessary by the adoption of a new cartridge. SAYS FREE TRADE IS ASSURED French Premier Accuses Germany of Taking Unfair Advantage. PARIS, April IS. Replying in the Cham ber of Deputies today to criticisms of French policy in Morocco, Foreign Min ister Delcasse said he had been ready to entertain propositions for the solution of the difficulties in connection with the in ternational policy of France. In refer ence to Morocco he had informed the Ger man Ambassador here and the French Ambassador in Berlin that France was prepared to discuss and clear up any mis understanding that might arise. M. Del casse added J "The principle of freedom of trade with Morocco is assured for all nations." Premier Rouvier said If France had no tified Germany of the Anglo-French con vention, it would have been necessary to Inform all the powers. He said Chancel lor von Buelow had practically acquiesced in that convention. Since then military events had enfeebled France's ally, and Germany possibly considered that by re opening the question which France re garded as settled she could use it to ob tain commercial advantages. It was for her to make a clear proposition. France was ready to consider it while safeguard ing her dignity. CIIIXA AGREES TQ PAX UP! Will Make Up Deficit in Indemnity Due to Silver's Fall. NEW YORK. April 19. After two years' discussion, the powers and China will sign an agreement today, according" to a Herald dispatch from Pekln, regarding the payment of the detlclt in the indemnity due to the fall In the price of sliver, and provid ing for the future payment of the in demnity In gold. The agreement comprises three par agraphs, and briefly stated sets forth that China Is to pay 15 days after the signature of the document the sum of $6,000,000 and interest at A per cent ton this amount from January 1, 1905, which sum is to be accepted in full payment of all deficits due to the change from silver to gold. In the second paragraph China agrees to sign immediately fractional gold bonds, expressing the amounts due to each country in the coinage of that country. By the third paragraph, China un dertakes in the future to pay , the amount due each year in 12 equal monthly installments, credited every six months. China will be allowed In terest at 4 per cent on the monthly payments made in advance of these biennial periods. China may pay also in gold bullion, gold drafts or tele graphic transfer of silver at the av erage monthly London rates, each for eign government selecting the method it prefers. 3IAY ADMIT AMERICAN GOODS Meyer Negotiates for Removal of Russian Countervailing Duty. ST. PETERSBURG. April 19. The firs official business taken up by the new American Ambassador, Mr. Mey er, with the Foreign Office was the reopening of the question of the re moval of the countervailing duty lev ied in Russia against American man ufactured goods in retaliation for the countervailing duty in the United States on Russian sugar. The levying of the Russian countervailing duty, which Is heavy, has practically re sulted in the complete suspension of the importation of all classes of Amer ican goods, which were being brought here on a large scale. Germany proved to be the- chief beneficiary for the same goods, many cases being import ed through Germany, and the Russian consumers being obliged to pay an in creased price. At Mr. Meyer's request. Foreign Min ister Lamsdorff has agreed to arrange that the Ambassador bo allowed to conduct the negotiations directly with the Ministry of Finance, where, it is believed, there is a disposition to fa vorably adjust this troublesome ques tion. DEFENDS KAISER WILLIAM. British Nobleman Condemns Jin goes Who Attack Him. LONDON. April 19. Lord Lonsdale, in a letter to the London .News Agency for general publication, gives contra diction to what he terms ridiculous statements concerning his treatment while attending the Kiel maneuvers, and takes occasion to give a severe reproof to the Germanophobe move ment in the "Jingo'" newspapers in England, which has been accentuated since Emperor "William's visit to Mo rocco. He says: "Thero is no JQner nature In the world than that of His Imperial Maj esty, the German Emperor. If there is fault at all In his nature, it is per-, haps that he is a little too English In his Ideas for some of his countrymen. w0 bear continually that he is build ing ships to compete 'with our navy, which is absolute nonsense. He is building ships to defend the trade of his own country, and if there I3 any fault it is on our side in swaggering that we are building and maintaining a navy that will equal that of any two powers. Nobody takes greater interest in the diplomacy and welfare of England than His Majesty. Nat urally, where the interests of his own country are concerned, he would be very far from doing his duty If he did not take every advantage for his country." ITALIAN RAILROADS TIED UP While Strikers Fight Travelers Have to Use Automobiles. ROME. April 19. The Government's railway bill was carried by a large ma jority in the Chamber of Deputies today. The conflict at Foggia Tuesday 'evening between soldiers and striking railway men, reinforced by peasants who tried to invade the railway station, resulted in the killing of three and wounding of five of the -disturbers. The strike is interfering with travel, those members of the Chamber who wish to return to their homes being provided with a special train. Prince Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, was less fortunate than the deputies, for, relying on a motor car to carry him to Naples, he suffered a breakdown when about half the distance and had to travel the rest of the way by carriage. BALFOUR PARRIES ATTACK. Taunted With Cowardice, He Re fuses to Divulge His Policy. LONDON, April" 19. In the House of Commons today, on Premier Balfour's motion to adjourn to May 2. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman asked for informa tion regarding various points of the Gov ernment's policy. Including the fiscal question, and took occasion to attack bit terly the Premier, charging him with be ing afraid to face the House. Mr. Balfour retaliated with a sarcastic speech, but made no new disclosures. He said the Transvaal constitution would be promulgated during Easter week, and de clined to add to his previous declarations on the fiscal question. Mr. Balfour chal lenged the opposition to try a vote of censure. The House then adjourned until May 2. King Victor Thanks Morgan. ROME, April 19. King Victor Emman uel today received In private audience J. Plerpont Morgan, who thanked the King warmly for the Grand Cordon of Salnta Maurice and Lazarus, which he wore. The King was most cordial in his manner toward Mr. Morgan, and made the Amer ican financier sit next to him. He ex pressed his personal gratification at the generous act of Mr. Morgan in returning to Ascola $he cope stolen from the Cathe dral there and sold to him by an unknown person. The conversation, which was car ried on in English, lasted half an hour. Later the King received United States Senator Nelson TV. Aldrich, of Rhode Island. Anarchy Reigns in Sfacedonla. VIENNA, April 19. The condition of af fairs'in the Balkan states is causing much uneasiness. The hope of a comparatively peaceful Spring, which had previously been expected, Is growing less, and It is declared that the reform work has now been conclusively proved without lasting or good results. In Zagorlchamm, Pro vince of Kroltza, early this month Greeks killed more than 130 Bulgarians, and in the Province of TJskub, Turks have killed several Servians. Thus It Is seen that all nationalities of Christians and Mo hammedans continue fighting each other, while Turkey seems unable or not de sirous of affording protection to the peo ple, and - stopping the disorders. Kitchener Threatens to Resign. LONDON, April 19. The correspondent at Calcutta of the Dally Express learns that friction has arisen between Lord Kitchener and Major-General Elles, mili tary member of the Governor-General's council, whose anomalous position enabled him to thwart the Commander-in-Chiefs plans, and that Lord Kitchener threatens to resign unless General Biles' duties are restricted to the administrative depart ment and he (Kitchener) Is given a voice in the council, or placed In closed relation with the Indian government. Honor Beaconsfield's Memory. ' LONDON, April 19. Primrose day was observed with undiminished zeal. Lord Beaconsfield's statue was dec orated on a generous scale. An en thusiastic free trader utilized the oc casion by placing by the side of the statue a huge shield of primroses bearing the well-known quotation from remarks of the deceased states man, "Protection is not only dead, but is damned," picked out in forget-me-nots. Railroad Strike Delays Emigrants. ROME. April 19. The railroad strike continues and the situation Is nraetieallv the same as yesterday.

MARRIED MEN IN MAJORITY Only Two Single Jlen Among Ju rors Accused Actress Will Tes tify Again and Wishes Mrs. Smith to Tell Story. NEW YORK, April 19. The jury which Is to decide the fate of Nan Patterson, on trial for the third time on the charge of murdering Caesar Young, a bookmaker, was completed at 7:40 o'clock tonight, when Recorder Goff adjourned court un l next Monday morning. Miss Patterson i3 again to face a jury composed almost entirely of married men, only two of the accepted panel of 12 being single, one a bachelor, the other a wid ower. Most of the Jurymen are of mid dle age and beyond. Many of them have large families, some daughters who are married. It was announced tonight that the de fendant would take the stand again and tell her story. It Is also said that Miss Patterson is anxious that her sister, Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, should become a wit ness for the defense, although it has not been determined yet, either for the prose-, cutlon or the girl's lawyers, just what part the Smiths shall play. In her previous trials the young pris oner has had the comforting presence of her aged father to cheer her through the long hours In the courtroom, but today she sat alone, save for her counsel, with in the bar Inclosure. It had been ex pected that her father would occupy his accustomed place at this trial, but there was no room for his chair beside his daughter. The old man was in the court room, however, occupying a seat well back among the talesmen who were awaiting the call for jury duty. After the adjournment of the court Miss Patterson had a little chat with her father, and was then led back to her cell In the Tombs. Her counsel declares that the girl Is well pleased with the jury. CONTEST FOR THE LETTERS. Prosecution Resists Efforts of De fense to Recover Them. NEW YORK, April 19. Assistant Attor ney Gans told Justice Gaynor In the State Supreme Court In Flushing today that It would defeat the ends of justice and re veal to the defense the resources of the prosecution In the trial of Nan Patterson for the murder of Caesar Young If Dis trict Attorney Jerome were compelled to surrender the letters and documents taken from Mrs. J. Morgan Smith when she was arrested in Cincinnati. Counsel for the Smiths asked for an order for the sur render of the papers, and Justice Gaynor suggested that they be given to the clerk of the court, so that both sides could have access to them, but Mr. Gans ob jected. The court then reserved decision. Heard intheRotundas "Everything that creeps has horns down in Nevada," said J. H. Price, of LIda, Nev., at the Imperial Hotel yes terday afternoon. "The lizards, bugs and snakes all have horns. We have a species of the rattlesnake down In Nevada which I do not believe Is found in any other part of the United States. It never grows to be more than a foot long and Is very slender. "It has a small horn on the top of its head and one rattle attached to the end of Its tail. A bite from this small reptile nearly always results in death. Its venom is said to be even more poisonous than that of the common ratlesnake. You take one of these common prairie snakes and you have a chance to escape, as they will never attack you unless rogered. Besides they give you plenty of time to get away, as their rattle can be distinctly heard quite a ways off. "But not so with the small rattle snake we have down there. If man goes within three or four feet of that reptile It will attack him. It will sound the alarm with its rattle, but It Is so small that it is rarely heard. Our rattler can spring at least three times its length, so you can see that you have to be very careful when wander ing out in the sagebrush. "Just before I came to Portland I was in Goldfields and Tonopah," said Mr. Price. "There Is no doubt but that lots of people have died recently in that mining district, but I believe that fatal disease the"y talk so much about is nothing less than pneumonia. I have known persons to take down with pneumonia In that climate and die within six hours. "You see when people go Into "that country their system becomes perme ated with alkali. They neglect to take the proper care of themselves, and the first thing they know they catch cold, followed by the dreaded pneumonia. Then if the system Is In bad condition, death nearly always results. Of course there may be an unknown disease down there but I believe It Is straight pneumonia Intensified by the peculiar climate conditions. You see it is In tensely hot during the day time and at night It becomes very cold. These extremes do- the work. In my opinion. "Nevertheless, I would not advise anyone to go Into that section of the country at the present unless they have friends there. If a man takes down sick it Is hard to find anyone to take care of him. Besides work Is hard to obtain now in these mining camps. There are lots of good properties down there but development is being retarded by inadequate transportation facilities. There are several railroad projects untfer contemplation and I think all' those camps will be connect ed with the outside world within a year or two. J. T. Mahon, of Mule. Or., was a guest at the Imperial Hotel this week on his way home after an extended visit in California. Mr. Mahon, who has a large ranch near Mule, which Is In Harney County. Is one of the largest raisers of horses, sheep and mules In the United States. Mr. Mahon Is responsible for the name of Mule, which adorns a small postofflce, build ings and a few residences. About ten years ago - the postofflce was estab lish near Mr. Hahon's ranch and he was appointed postmaster. The department at Washington in structed Mr. Mahon to name the postofflce and told him to make it short. Mr. Mahon thought a long time ,and then decided to name the postofflce after his mules, which were at that time making- a great deal of money for him. He wrote to Wash ington, told them the name he had given the postofflce, and the Govern ment officials sent hack congratula tions. "Talk about your old Missouri mules, why they are not In It with some of those we raise back there in Harney County;" said Mr. Mahon yes terJay. "We raise mules which would carry off prizes from any of the Mis souri animals. I would be- willing to take any 20 of my mules and compare them with the Missouri animals be cause 1 know 1 would cary off the prizes. If there were any offered. "We expected to sell a lot of horses and mules to the Japs and Russians, but their agents have not put In an appearance in Harney County. At the time of the Boer War we had no dif ficulty In selling off all the loose stock we had to the agents. All of us ranchers down there confidently ex pected to make a killing out of the present war, but we Nwere badly dis appointed. You know we get good prices during war times. "Yes, I have a pretty big ranch, but Bill Brown, who lives near Wagon Tire. In the same county, has got me beat," answered Mr. Mahon to a ques tion' "I DBlieVd-.BlIl Brown owns more horses and mules than any one man In the United States today. He has them scattered all over that coun ty. I don't think he himself knows how many horses and mules he has. The last I heard Brown had over 5000 head of horses. We don't have any trouble at all In selling all the stock we raise. Great country down there, al though It Is only about ISO miles from the railroad." "I am no miner myself, but if the as says and the reports of the experienced men whom we have had to examine our claims are reliable, we have made one of the richest strikes in the history of the Northwest." said F. C. Hackney, at the Hotel Imperial recently, in speaking of the copper workings discovered In Grant County. The copper ledge wa3 found by Mr. Hackney, W. H. Officer and E. D. Officer, of John Day, several weeks ago. The men have kept very quiet about It as they have been having assays made of the ore. "We discovered this ledge about 35 miles southwest of John Day. In places It U 20 feet thick. We have encountered this ledge at. different places for a distance of nine miles. It all lies cloae to the sur face. We have a mining engineer by the name of Walch, who worked for years In the employ of Senator Clark, of Mon tana, In there now Investigating the ex tent and value of our strike. He has not had time to compile a complete report, but he has told me that we had the most wonderful surface cropplngs of copper ore he had ever seen. He says It will prove to be pne of the richest properties in the Northwest. We have had the ore as sayed and we find that It ranges all the way from 120 to $100 a ton. The ore we had assayed was taken from the top of the ledge within a few Inches of the sur face of the ground. "There have been several old experi enced and reliable miners who have made a thorough examination of this remark able ledge. They all say we have made a wonderful Btrike and wanted to buy In 6n our claims. The asssayers tell us the same thing, so you can see that we have reason to believe that wc have made a rich strike. Although we have kept the discovery as quiet as -possible, some knowledge of it has come out and the people of Grant County are preparing to make a rush Into that section of the country as soon as the snow clears off. By Summer you will find that the whole distance of nine miles through which runs this ledge will be taken up In claims. "We have another claim which we be lieve will turn out to be very valuable." continued Mr. Hackney. "We found some old placer workings, near which there was an old cabin and several sluice boxes. The old cabin waB hidden In the trees or it would have been discovered before this. We found tracings of gold In the working?. Years ago a group of prospec tors struck a rich placer mine somewhere in that vicinity, out of which they took a great deal of gold. These prospectors were all killed by the Indians and the mine lost. Prospectors from different parts of the country have made regular trips up there looking for this old mine, but they have never been able to find It Wo think this old mine we have discov ered Is the one, but it may be we are mistaken. We cannot tell much about it until the mow melts." "It made me think of the old Mississip pi River," Eald Adolphus Busch at the Hotel Portland Wednesday night. In speaking of this trip along the Willamette River In a launch. "I saw those river boats scurrying across the waters and tho32 big etern-wheel passenger-boats, and for a time I could almost Imagine that I was back In St- Louis. But when I got out In the harbor a little more and saw several lmmenw sailing boats being loaded with Oregon lumber and wheat, I forgot about Missouri. "In a few minutes I aw there was a great deal of difference between the Willamette and Mississippi Rivers. Our stream Is considerably wider and the cur rent Is very strong. From the big ocean going vessels I saw In the harbor I should judge that your river was deeper. But your waters are of such a beautiful blue, while the Mississippi River Is very muddy when It reaches St. Louis. The Missouri River Is the cause of It. The biggest treat I had on the trip was when we hove In sight of the three or four big ocean-going steamers anchored below the bridges. I knew you. had a wonderful harbor here, but I hardly thought you could handle such big vessels as those I saw today." PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. Grapp. of Newberg. Is registered at the Perkins Hotel. P.

SHIP ALL THEIR OWN Los Angeles' Merchants Char ter Roanoke for Trip to Fair. COME TO PORTLAND IN JUNE Two Hundred Business Men of That City Make up an Exclusive Party to Visit the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Two hundred of the leading business ! mon of Los Angeles have clubbed to- j gether, chartered a steamship and will come to Portland In style to. see the Fair. This announcement was made yester day at the office of the North Pacific Steamship Company. The vessel engaged Is the Roanoke- The date for the trip has not yet been fixed, but It will come off some time in June. The party will not return on the same trip, but will re main here two weeks, visiting Puget Sound and the Willamette Valley In the meantime. They will release the steamer while they are here, and she will make her regular scheduled run to the south. On their return home, as on the voyage to this city, they will have the exclusive use of the vessel and no tickets will be sold to others. This Is the largest party co far made up to come to the Exposition by steamer. Charles P. Doe, the managing director of the steamship company, did not come up on the Roanoke, as was expected, hav ing been detained at Eureka. Agent Harry Young looks for him In about 10 days. It Is the understanding here that Mr. Doe will proceed cast shortly to buy another steamer for the line, as the busi ness Is growing so rapidly that the Roan oke cannot handle all of It. Not only Is the traffic between Portland and San Francisco Increasing, but the business between the Bay City and San Pedro has developed beyond expectations. The Roanoke is now receiving her outward cargo here, and will sail southward to night. Her freight will be made up of 00 tons of wheat and a large quantity of miscellaneous cargo. ADMIRAL KEMPFF LEAVES. Goes North to Inspect Puget Sound Steamers. Rear Admiral Kempff took leave of Portland yesterday, going to Tacoma by the afternoon train. In the nine days he was In this district he Inspected about SO boats, and It can be said to the credit of the local Inspectors that he found their llfe-.aing equipment In most satisfactory condition. In nearly every instance the crews showed the effect of excellent train Ing in the fire drills and in the manage ment of lifeboats. The Admiral had but little to say of the result of his inves tlgatlons, as he will report on that sub ject to the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, but It Is known that he was well pleased with the condition In which he found the Willamette and Columbia River boats. Admiral Kempff expressed himself as a great admirer of Portland, and regretted that he was compelled to make such a short siay here. The city has made -won derful progress since he was here last, he said. He spoke highly of the condition In which the streets and bridges were kept, but was not heard to compliment anyone on the condition of the steamboat docks. He was loud In his praise of the Port land Hotel. The Admiral will return to San Francisco from the Sound. LOST WATCH RECOVERED. Second Officer of Aragonia Is Lucky, But Does Not Yet Know It. If the China liner Aragonia does not sail from Astoria this morning, the heart of Second Officer Wolken will be glad dened by the news that a valuable watch that he lost In this city has been recov ered. It was returned to the office of Taylor, Young & Co. yesterday, but after the steamer had started down the river. Mr. Wolken lost the watch one night while returning to the vessel. Aa he was afraid of being held up, he took it out of his pocket and tied It around his ankle before he ventured out on the streets. When he got on shipboard he made the discovery that the tlmplece was not where he had secreted It. The officer advortlscd his loss and offered a 523 reward for Its return, and the watch was yesterday de livered to the agents of the steamship. Mr. Wolken prized the watch highly, as he had received It from his father, to whom It was presented by a German col- Another Trial of New Ferry. Another trial of the new Albina ferry boat Lionel R.
