THE MORNING OKEGONDLN, TTEDNESUAY, AUGUST 23, 1905. ONLY 1ST 5HAN0HA an unknown person while at work In the field of their farm today. The older Smith was killed Instantly, a charge of shot penetrating his brain. The son re ceived three wounds, one in the face and two in the back, given evidently as he sought to escape his murderer. Suspicion turned to Cal. Newton, a neighboring farmer of equally good standing, and he was arrested. He denies his guilt. There was bad blood between the elder Smith and Newton, growing out of a question as to a line fence betwen their farms.

Protests against the Chinese boycott of American goods continue to be received at the State Department, but very few make any sugr Bestlons that losses have, been Incurred, although In one or two Instances the transportation companies have said that there has been a falling- off In tho ship ments of American goods to China. No further reports Indicating: the prog ress of the boycott have been received 'at the department, and It is not belfeved there Is any progress outside of Shanghai: One Instance of an attempt to Insult the African flag was reported from Amoy. - s happened a month ago. but the Gov ernor of the province promptly made amends and ordered all attempts at dem onstration directed towards Americans to cease. The Washington government has no complaint to make of the local authorities In China, as the reports Indlcato that they have been prompt and efficient In the protection of American Interests. METCATjF seeks criticism. Calls on Agents for Information About Exclusion Lnv. "WASHINGTON. Aug. 22. The commis sion appointed by Secretary Metcalf, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, to revise the present rules and regula tions under which the Immigration laws and the Chinese exclusion laws are ad ministered, today sent a letter to all offi cials of the Immigration Bureau in the field asking for an expression of opinion on each of tne rules now In operation. The letter practically is the first step taken by the commission. The replies are expected to state how each rule works and. If It Is not effective, or if It results In dissatisfaction to persons or agents coming Into contact with the service, the nature of the complaint is to be set forth clearly. Officers In the field are invited also to make suggestions as to the man ner in which tlie laws may be amended. The most Important of the step? pro posed by the commission are public hear ings, at which criticisms of the service may be lodged. At these hearings rail road and steamship companies, represen tatives of foreign governments or any person having relations with the immigra tion service may voice complaints. 3IURDER IS THREATENED. Boycotters Warn Chinese Officials Against Opposing Them. VICTORIA, B. a, Aug. 22. Advices were received by the steamer Shawraut that San Francisco Chinese sent a lengthy cablegram to Ministers of tha Chinese Foreign Office, threatening them with assassination if they op posed the boycott against American goods. The telegram, which purported to be from 100,000 Chinese "residents in America," stated that "a brave hero" would be sent to punish them. AVILTi SUPPRESS BOYCOTT.

Of those admitted, 5S were United States citizens, 61 returning laborers, 61 returning mer chants, seven merchants coming in for the first time; 22 members of merchants families, and 14 belonging to other ex empt classes.

CONGER RESIGNS OFFICE WTLIi LEAVE EMBASSY TO MEX ICO XEXT OCTOBER. Trip to China Abandoned and He Will Forsake Diplomacy Loomis Not His Successor. OYSTER BAY, Aug. 22. Edwin H. Conger, of Iowa, has resigned his post as Ambassador to Mexico to take effect October 18 next, and President Roosevelt has accepted the resignation. Mr. Conger's retirement from the diplo matic service was foreshadowed in these dispatches last week. It was indicated then that he might be sent to Pekin as ,a special commissioner of the President to adjust, if possible, the differences which have arisen betwen this country and China over the "boycott of American goods by some of the Chinese commercial guilds. While no official statement Is ob tainable here regarding the mission, there are reasons for the statement that It either has been abandoned by tho Presi dent or that It lias been declined by Mr. Conger. At any rate. It Is believed Mr. Conger will not go to China as a repre sentative of the Government." It has not been determined definitely yet who will succeed Mr. Conger as Am bassador to Mexico, but, as heretofore stated. It probably will be David E. Thompson, of Nebraska, now American Ambassador to Brazil. It is known that Mr. Thompson desires the post. In connection with the appointment, the name of Francis B. Loorols, Assistant Secretary of .State, has been mentioned, but It can be said pretty definitely that Mr. Loomls will not be appointed. His resignation as Assistant Secretary of State may be expected at any time. It Is certain that he Is to retire from the State Department, but whether he will receive an appointment In the diplomatic service, as has been suggested, is thought to be somewhat problematical. Father and Son Bfh Murdered. FRANKFORT. Ky., Aug. 22. George and James Smith, father and son and well-to-do farmers of Elmville, sl little 'illage of this county, were murdered by READY TO NEGOTIATE. Norway "Will Send Proposals to Sweden for Dissolving Union. CHRISTIANIA, Aug. 22. The Storthing today adopted by a vote of 104 to 11 the proposals of the government for the formal opening of negotiations with Sweden for the dissolution of the union. The passage of the resolution relating to the opening of negotiations with Swedon for the dissolution of the union was not secured without obstinate resist ance on the part of the Radical and So cialist factions, whose programme Is to prevent negotiations with Sweden. The crushing majority of the government, however, shows that the Storthing and the people are anxious to secure an amic able settlement. The government Is firm ly opposed to any change in Its proposals, evidently wishing to meet the Riksdag half way. The commute on negotiations probably will be appointed at once and will consist of Foreign Minister Loveiand, C. C. Berner, President of the Storthing, and cx-Minlster of the Interior Vogt. It is believed in authoritative circlos that Sweden is now Inclined to concede the candidacy of Prince Bornadottc. MOROCCO MUST PAY UP. France Threatens to Use Force to Secure Redress. TANGIER, Morocco. Aug. 22. Tho French Minister, Strenetalllander, has presented to the Sultan an Em erg Mul lah Ab-El-Asiz, an enorgetlc demand for an indemnity of 52000 for the re cent arrest of a Franco-Algerian citi zen. The Minister also demands the punishment of the official responsible for the arrest, and an additional in demnity of $100 dally until thQ prison er is released. It Is believed that the Sultan -will promptly grant tne 'demands of the Minister, as It is doflnitely known that the French government Is determined to adopt forcible means to bring the Sultan to terms should satisfaction not bo given, including, if necessary, tho occupation of a Moroccan port. This Incident is independent of the Franco-German controversy regarding the proposed international differences. Indeed, it Is known that Germany ap pro'es the course of France in resent ing the unwarranted rrrest of one of her citizens. This German approval goes even beyond the desire of France, as the German government has given official notification of its intention to support the action of the French gov ernment, whereas the latter has not sought, directly or Indirectly, any sup port In maintaining the rights of French citizens. Peace Conference on Grain RatcS. CxiICAGO, Aug. 2L A meeting will be held in this city today for the purpose of trying to effect some sort of a settle ment of the grain rate war. There Is no desire on the part of the majority to engago in a ruinous rate war on the threshold of a crop season which prom ises to break all records In the West. But the Chicago Great Western claims that no satisfactory and lasting peace agree ment can be reached unless all lines unite In 'abolishing elevator allowances. The other roads already have declined to abate this allowance. Kcrmit Roosevelt After Bear. CHICAGO, Aug. 22. A dispatch to the Tribune from Deadwood, S. D., says: Kermlt Roosevelt, Stanley Bullock and Paul Martin, In the care of Captain Seth Bullock and the guides, Burt Tilloy ana Will Hardin, loft here last night for a ten days hunting trip. The three lads are about the'same age. Kermlt Roose velt was the recipient of much more at tention here, and talked good-naturedly with everyone he met. "If I can only get a bear," he said, "my highest ambition is to beat my father's bear-slaying record, but I scarcely expect to do that." i NEW PUBLICATIONS.
