U Brailsford. of Hampstead. a 'writer on Balkan and Macedonian questions, and H. M. McCul lough, who is understood to be an actor and who procured the pas&port found on the body of the bomb manufacturer killed by an 'explosion of one of his bombs in the Hojtel Bristol, in St. Petersburg, on March 11. were charged with obtaining under false pretenses a passport intend ed to be fraudulently used by some other person, thus endangering the peaceful relations between the British and Russian nation?. The Solicitor-General, Sir Ed ward Carson, made a statement in behalf of the crown, and after some unimportant evidence had been given, the case was adjruoned for a fortnight. The Solicitor-General In his statement explained how the defendant obtained the passport subsequently in possession of the man who was killed by the premature explosion of a bomb in the Hotel Bristol, saying it was accomplished by "deliber ately deceiving the Foreign Secretary." The Solicitor-General also presented a statement made by Brailsford admitting that he had agreed with a person con nected with the revolutionary movement in Russia to furnish the latter with some passports on this person's express prom ise that they should only be used for the purpose of a peaceful propaganda. The Russian Ambassador occupied a seat on the bench. 1 In this connection the Associated Press learns that the Russian secret service police are investigating the source of the considerable sums of money sent from London to Russian agitators.

The square in front of the palace is closed to vehicles, fo that the Empress, who was Injured by falling downstairs on Sunday, may have perfect rest.

The settlement of the Boxer indemnity question has been delayed by the action of the Rus-so-Chinese Bank. Russia has chosen to receive -her portion of the Indemnity in silver, and the Russo-Chinese Bank is endeavoring to obtain payment on Shanghai at tho London price of silver. Instead of the price at Shanghai, thus avoiding extra charges. If China con sents, the bank will secure an ad Vantage amounting to one per cent. The powers have protested against the proposition, and it is considered probable that the Russo-Chlnese Bank -will not be successful in its negotia tions. Natung, the Governor of Fekin, representing the Board of Revenue, did, in fact, consent, but his consent was not ratified. If China -weakly as sents, the settlement of the indemnity question will be prolonged indefinitely, because similar indemnities will be de manded In other quarters.

All danger may be avoid ed, however, by giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It liquifies the tough mu cus, making it easier to expectorate, keeps the cough loose, and makes the parox ysms of coughing less frequent and less severe.

REID ADDS DIX DOCTRINE New Ambassador to Britain Defines DutJ- of Ambassadors and Use of Big Stick No Politics in Diplomatic Service. NEW TORK, May 23. Whltelaw Reid. who will soon go to London as Ambassador to the court of St. James, was the guest of honor tonight at a farewell 'dinner given by the Republi can Club, in attendance were more than 300 prominent Republicans. Mr. Reld spoke in part as follows: I do not enter upon the dlrcharce of ray duties a & partisan. No politic will or can be known in the embassy. Ven William J. Bryan expressed his thanks for treatment at our embassies, which trae plainly due to man whom nearly half the American people had more than once approved "fir their high est office and when the President, responded that, If any ambassador had failed to extend auch treatment In such a case, hu hlft would have been chort. there wai a Bt recognition of Government and what It should alwajotJrl - Would It bt trespassing on too dl!cate ground If I ventured to su greet that the con--Verse ought to be true; that tsere ought to be no . politics at home In dealing with the em. bEqya work Inc. Mr. Reld referred humor.ously to the exaction made upon the Ambassador to Great Britain with regard to public speeches, and added: Not Sole Duty to Make Speeches. Really, gentlemen, however much appear ances may sometimes tend to a contrary view, the- work of speechmaklng Is not the chler duty for which the country nds out Its ambassador. Nobody needs now to be told of clasping hands across the sea. We know that Great Britain and the United States. In the nature of thine, do Inevitably sustain peculiar relations to each other, not held by either with any other nation. There is a duty of an ambassador more Ira. portant even than prompting good will. An ambassador Is aent to look after the Interests of his own country. Happy In hie lot If the Interests of the country that sends him abroad and those of the country to which he is sent ar not conflicting. If, unhappily, the In tertetfi are found to conflict, the most In Jurloua and most treacherous fault an am bareudor can commit s to sacrlficf the Interests of his own country In the deliberate and rordld hope of retraining perrona grata In the country In which he temporarily resides. American Foreign Policy. It is a happy and Illuminating phrase of our great Secretary of State when. In a humorous vein he told us that our foreign policy consists chiefly of the golden rule and the Monroe doctrine. We need only add the Ilx doctrine: "If any man hauls down the American flag, shoot him on the spot." Neither that nor tho Monroe doctrine Is In ternational law. but both are sure to remain Indefinitely fundamental parts of American International policy. Our use of the 'big stick Is much tho same as that of the quiet citizen, to keep off footpade and the dogs. We covet no nation's land or possession. We seek only to preserve and protect our own. We hv a passionate preference, manifested on all suitable occasions through more Uian half a century, for doing this whenever practicable by international arrangement rather than by war. Sir Percy- Anderson, speaking for Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, the Brit ish Ambassador, complimented the American people upon their selection of their Ambassador. CANT KILL YELLOW JACK Mosquitoes on Isthmus Will Always Spread Disease. OREGON1AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, May IS. Notwithstanding assur ancos from time to time by the Panama Canal Commission, and from other official sources. It Is much to be questioned lf danger from yellow fever will ever be-entirely removed from the Canal Zone. The risk may be greatly reduced: the disease may. to a great measure be held in check, but it is the opinion, of many reliable men who have visited the Isthmus and studicJ its conditions, that yellow fever will never be entirely eradicated. Science now generally accepts the theory that yellow fever is spread by mosquitoes. The disease germs are car ried by this means only, so it has been determined after mot careful study, and the carrying agent Is always a certain type of mosquito known through Mexico, Central and South America. This being the fact there will .be danger from yellow fever just as long as there are mosquitoes to spread the disease, and there will be mosquitoes as long as conditions are favorable to the breeding of the pest. According to well-informed men who have recently been to Panama, physical and climatic conditions in that country are roost favorable to the breeding of fever-carrying mosquitoes. There is no breeze or wind, except at rare Intervals; the atmosphere, continually baked by the sun. is neavy ana oppressive, ana ire- quently the air Is most stifling to AniNi cans. On the Atlantic side of the Isthmus there Is very little tide, the water In the harbors and in sea-level streams remains stagnant, and is conducive to other dis ease, besides yellow fever. The collection of sewage is one of the principal causes of pollution of this water, and a material contributor to unsanitary conditions. At the western end of the proposed canal there Is more tide, but the absence of winds results In very slight change In the water In the Gulf of Panama, and this body, like the sea on the cast, becomes more or less stagnant and laden with sewage and other refuse. It Is true, as stated by the commission, that swamps along the line of the canal, which are now great breeders of mos quitoes, arc to be drained, and to that extent the mosquito pest will be elimi nated. But there appears to be no cure for the unsanitary conditions In the har bors and rivers, and It seems probable that there will always be stagnant water, one place or another, near the canal. Furthermore, vessels touching at Panama and Colon will many times come from yellow fever ports: mosquitoes are often carried In cargoes, and there will be danger from thls source, even were san itary conditions along the canal perfect. Just now there seems to be a yellow fever panic on the Isthmus; employes of the commission are resigning and re turning to this country; many others are threatening to resign. To check this movement the Canal Commission offers Increased salaries; as an inducement to men to stay, and thcln tactics have been partially successful. But before the canal Is completed. It is "the confident belief of Intelligent men who have been over the canal route that yellow fever will have an appalling list of victims to Its credit, and these men pause to ask if the salaries paid are ample inducement to a man to risk his life on the Isthmus. Thinking In Millions. London. Graphic. Unconsciously, most English men and women have been thinking In Bullions, ever since the. American and mining mil lionaires have come to the front and that Is one of the main causes of the dis tress which exists throughout the coun try. In the West End most men of mod erate means have been living as if a vast fortune was awaiting them in the imme diate future, their, wives and daughters have dressed considerably beyond their allowance; and In the city the average business man will not consider a pro posal that affords no prospect of profit on a large scale. GREAT STRIKE IN NEW YORK. All Excavators Locked Out in Fight Against Union. NEW TORK. May 24.

ASK 'HELP OF PORTLAND Chambers or Commerce of Both Cit ies Requested to BackUp M mcnt for Dredge Instea. of the Jettj-. Bar pilots of Astoria and captains of steamers regularly entering, the Columbia are signing a petition for the use of the big sea-going dredge Chinook at the mouth of the river. This petition will be presented to the Astoria Chamber of Commerce and after wards to the Portland Chamber. The substance of the statements made In the petition Is that the dredge accom- Tilished more good during the past year nan the jetty has done since it was first started and that the channel now used Is the one dug out by the Chinook. Requests that the commercial bodies of Portland and Astoria exert their every influence with tb Government to get the Chinook back to work again are included. A detailed statement bt what the Jetty has accomplished, toward, dseperilhg the channel nrlng4 years as compared with 4he few months' work of the dredge Is auo. to be a part of the petition. "When the movement Is well under way in As toria!, the documents are to be laid sbc fore the Portland Chamber of Commerce. The Astoria people believe It will be useless to present this petition to the United States Engineer's office In Port land, because Major Langfltt has already announced that the appropriation made for the Columbia this year will be ex pended upon the jetty extension and noj upon the operation or tne vninook. ine documents will be rent to Washington. The Chinook has been lying Idle at the Government moorings at Linnton for sev eral months. Her crew were discharged last month. Several Portland shipping men believe that the same amount of money spent upon the jetty as upon the Chinook's operation will do more good In deepening the channel. Major Langtitt. who Is out of the city at present, has said that the channel now being used by vessels Is some dirtance from the place? where the dredge worked. But there Is a general belief that the Chinook's operation was benefit, although her expenses were extremely high, and it was a disappoint ment when she was laid off for the year. NO LONG IDLE SHIPS HERE Dumfriesshire, Longest in Port, Will Soon Finish Loading Lumber. After lying In the harbor since August 23. the British bark Drumfrlesshlre. Cap tain Ferneaux. will finish loading lumber at the North Pacific mill Friday, and Is expected to leave down Saturday or Sua day. The Drumfrlesshlre was here six months before he was chartered. She goes to Australia. Portland harbor is clear of the vessels lying idle awaiting charters, which are to be found elsewhere. The Drumfrlesshlre has been here longer than any other vessel now In port, the Pythomene hav ing arrived In February. In San Francisco harbor are two ves sels which have been there for more than three years, and six vessels which ar rived in 1903, The British bark SHber horn Is the bell-wether of the flock, hav ing entered the Golden Gate January 21, 1D02. The Cawdor came In a month later. All are patlentl- awaiting charters. On Puget Sound, the British bark Dunstaffnagc has been there ever since July 31. 1903. These vessels found a big slump in charters after they reached the Coast. AVILL FORETELL FRESHETS. New Station May Be Established at Gateway. Mont. Dr. H. C.
