RUN ASHORE AND BLGWN.UP Slysterious Movements of Unknown Vessel Follow ed by Discovery of lilries and Ammunition ; on Barren Island. HELSINGFORS. Finland, Sept. 1L Customs officials on Saturday discovered 660 carbines of Swedish manufacture, -with bayonets, and 120,000 cartridges joo. a. bar ren Island in the Gulf of Bothnia, near Kern!. On Sunday morning, a boat be longing to the customs service discovered a 300-ton steamer near Kalskaer Rock, 20 miles outside Jakobstad. The captain and members of the crew, who spoke in English, declared that the steamer was fully loaded with rifles and cartridges, and thereupon the customs of ficials ordered the captain to take his vessel Into port and discharge the cargo. The steamer proceeded toward the shore, the customs boat going in the meanwhile toward a near-by island. Suddenly several explosions were heard from the steamer, and the customs offi cers, on returning, found the vessel sink ing and her crew in lifeboats uisappear ing hurriedly toward the' south.- The offi cers Immediately pressed into service a number of fishermen, who unloaded most of the rifles and ammunition on the beach. The steamer grounded In shoal water. Her name was painted over, only the let ters "John Bash Fton" being visible. American and German flags were "found on board the vessel. On the night previous to the discovery of the rifles and ammunition on the Island near Kern!, a fisherman declared he saw a small steamer cruising In a curious manner In -the offing. SIGN OF ARMED REVOLUTIONS Importation- of Arms Open Secret. Finnish Rebels Suspected. ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 12. (3:43 A. M.) The news from Finland of the acci dental discover of the importation of rifles and ammunition in large quantities is the most serious disclosure regarding the revolutionary movement in Russia that has yet been made, as it indicates an intention to form a regular military organization. The' importation of revolv ers to Finland. Poland, the Baltic prov inces and other districts of Russia has been an open secret for a long time. In fact the Initiated have found very little difficulty In purchasing repeating pistols of a small type In SL Petersburg itself, but these are pocket weapons, Intended only for use In street rioting and in at tempts upon, the police. The importation of small-caliber repeat ing rifles and carbines of a modern type, however, presupposes a design to organ ize formal jresistancc ' to the troops, and the presence -of bayonets in the consign ment strengthens .this, supposition. X information can be obtained here concerning the possible Identity of the filibustering stcamor, which, according to one dispatch from Helslngfors, is sup posed to have been cruising under the American flag, though this probably was used as a mask. It Is considered here that the-active fac tion of the young Fenoman party of Fin land Is probably invoh'ed In the conspir acy; and It Is recalled that the investiga tion Into the assassination of General Bobrlkoff, Governor-General 6f "Finland, in June of last year, disclosed the exist ence of a society formed for the purpose of Importing arms. RIOTERS RAMPANT AT BAKU Tartars and Kurds Attack Arme nians, Plunder and Burn. ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 12 (3:43 A. M.) The latest private telegram, to be received' from Baku reports that the situation there Is ' growing worse. Other' unconfirmed dispatches assert that 'the rioter are fcubbo.rn.ly, contin uing tfcelr attacks" and'that the Tartars and Kurds are plundering In the "Black Town" district.. The dispatches say .that on SunJaiy the soldiers fired into acrowj of Russian, workmen, killing A dispatch to the Caucasus Oil Com pany from Baku says that the fires In the oilfields are practically exhausted snl that the military authorities are stationing guards In the district. The inoendiaries succeeded in setting flru to three machine shops in the pol&hkln district, killing the proprie tor of one. In the "Black Town" district the pa trol fired a volley Into a crowd of Russian workmen, from -which a shot was suposed to have been fired, but tho dispatch to the Coucasus Oil Com pany oxpressly states that no one was killed. After the conference of oilmen here yesterday evening, when dispatches from the oil regions were compared, thr representatives of the various companies summ&rlaed the situation as follows: The Bern Company Most of the tanks and "pumps have been saved from destruction A few wells belonging to other Eng lish companies have been saved. Society of Baku A third of its prop erty destroyed. Nobel Company Half of its prop erty destroyed. Caspian Company Its property com pletely destroyed. Other large companies, inqludlog the Caucasus. Rothschild. ' Mantascheff, Sherebieff and Sobaloff, saved only small portions of their properties. OIL 3IEX ASK FINANCIAL AID Threaten Not to Resume Business Unless PlcdgedProtectlon. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 1L Dls patohes from Baku received today Indi cate thai increased quiet and "better con ditions are pwalllng there. The news from other parts of the Caucasus, how ever, Is. very disquieting. Disturbances are spreading all over the region, more or less seriously. OH men representing an annual produc tion of 600,000.000 pounds met today and determined" to ask the state for assistance In obtaining a 20-year loan, without in terest, to cover tho losses resulting from the catastrophe at Baku, without which loan, they declare. 105 of the 133 com panies would be unable to continue in business. The meeting drew up-a remonstrance, which it will ask Finance 'Minister Ko kovsoff to present to Emperor Nicholas, stating that It is Impossible for the naptha industry to exist under present conditions, and that the companies would not resume operations unless guarantees were given ths tt order would soon be restored and -permanently maintained In the oil regions. The oil raeq in Xlshnl. Novgorod and Astraknan express thc fear that attempts will be made to burn the stocks of oil there, and they ask for the tating of pro tective measures. , "WHOLE CAUCASUS IN REVOLT Russians Join Attack on Troops. Woricmeis Capture Batiery. ST. PETERSBURG. Septl2.-AlarmIng dispatches were received from the Cau casus 'th'ismornlng. Two bulletins from Baku say conditions there are' worse than at any- time since the race war and revolt sprang up simultaneously. Not only have battles -between Armenians and Tartars been resumed with double fury, but Russian revolutionists a're In des perate conflict with Imperial troops, and all the resources of the War Department of that part of the empire are required to .control the situation. It is feared that all Trans-Caucasia shortly will pass into 1 the hands "of the Insurgents, and that what is left by the rioters will' be de voured by Tartar hordes. Kurds and Tartars are In possession of Baku's Important "Black Town" district. They have sacked the public buildings there, and destroyed the property of the oil companies. Seventeen strikers were slain by sol diers Sunday. A Cossack battery turned rapid-fire guns Cn a crowd of workmen assembled to pass a petition to Emperor Nicholas. The Cossacks were assured of the pacific intention of the meeting, but they opened fire without other answer. The strikers, seeing their comrades fall ing, rushed the battery, captured the guns and turned them on the soldiers. Dozens of batterymen were killed or wounded, and the survivors fled in confusion. Caucasian Prince Murdered. TJFLIS, Sept. 11. Princo-Tsitsianoff, a landed proprietor, was assassinated today at GorJl, 50 miles from Tlflls. Tho following incident, showing the desperate spirit displayed by the Tar tars. Is reported from Baku: "A band of Tartars barricaded themr selves in the house of a rich Mussul man and fired from the windows on a patrol officer, who called on them to surrender. The Tartars replied with another volley and continued firing while artillery was brought up. The artillery laid the house In ruins, the Tartars perishing to a man.

GEMS FROM HIS OWN ORGAN Idaho Senator's Paper. Disputes No torious Fact, Ignores Interest of Navigation and .Repeal of Lieu Liana Law. OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sept. 6. The attention of tho Forest Service has been called to the fact that a systematic campaign Is being con ducted in Idaho by papers in sympathy with Senator Heyburn, to break down public confidence in President Roosevelt's forestry policy. It is a campaign of mis representation, of exaggeration and di rect falsehood; it is a campaign fostered by men who either do not understand con ditions in their own state, or who, for some reason, ignore the true conditions and hold up to the public a series of pic tures drawn entirely from their imagina tion. The principal organ engaged In the antl-forest-reserve campaign is the Idaho Press, published at Wallace by a nephew of Mr. Heyburn. This paper has repeat edly published editorials sustaining Mr. Heymurn in his fight on the President, and has filled its columns with vislnoary concoctions of its editor and its corps of correspondents. A recent article, charg ing that the forest-reservt policy is based on fallacies, and appearing as a special dispatch from Boise, has a true Heyburn ring, and, it is believed here, was written or suggested by the Junior Senator him self. It contains ideas subscribed to by the Senator, and fairly presents the basis of his opposition to the forestry policy, and is therefore made the subject of comment. Heyburn Behind Times. When Mr. Heyburn was making his most vicious assaults upon the forestry policy and the Administration which is consistently carrying out that policy, it was explained by officials in Washington that Mr. Heyburn was ten years behind the times; that his objections were based on conditions that no longer exist, and GIfford Pinchot, in the hope of convinc ing Mr. Heyburn of the error of his posi tion, endeavored to show him that most of the things to which he objected were of the past. But Mr. Heyburn was in a rage, he had so much wrath to work oft, and be would not listen: instead he kept up his Are until the President sat down on him and demonstrated that the forestry policy applied to Idaho, like all other Western States, the opposition ot a Senator notwithstanding. Now comes the Heyburn , organ with a learned "special dispatch," containing this brilliant statement: Later, however, the establishment of forest reserves was made for another theoretical reason. That la this way the water supply could be conserved and In this, way the lands lying below the wooded height eould bs ir rigated and made more fertile. That the maintenance of the forest! In the mountains does coheerva the water In a way to make it available for irrigation purposes Is purely a theory. It ha not been proves, even by argument, and It- Is extremely doubtful it It is susceptible of proof. Such a display of Ignorance and disbelief has not been witnessed in recent years. The relation of forests to streams Is an acknowledged fact the world over; Intelli gent people don't ask for proof any more than they ask for proof that two and two make four; it Is a self-evident proposition. It has been demonstrated time and again In all parts of the United States where timber-cutting has been extensively car ried on. The Rio Grande river is a splen did example of the deterioration of a stream whose watershed has been denuded of timber and forest growth; the Colorado River Is another; the Middle West abounds In smaller examples: every Western State furnishes examples ot the depletion of streams due to timber cutting. The same correspondent holds up a "hor rible example," the Seven Devils reserve, which he says in no way benefits Iriga tlon. "This reserve is drained by the Snake, Salmon and Welser Rivers, and of the three the waters of the Welser alone are possibly available for irrigation in Idaho. Of the $58,000 acres In this reserve, only 192.000 acres are drained by the Wel ser," from which conclusion is drawn that the remaining portion of the reserve should be thrown open to entry Interest of Navigation. Granting that no water of the Snake, Salmon .or Welser is utilized for irriga tion, the Salmon and Welser flow Into the Snake and the Snake into the Colum bia. The Government is spending H 000,000 opening the Columbia River at The Dalles, in ord-r to afford continuous river naviga tion from Lewlston to the sea. With the Summer flow of these streams diminished, as would be the case If the adjoining tim ber should be cut away, navigation on the upper rivers would be materially handi caps at a time when it Is most needed, and the Government's expenditures would, to a great degree, bo wasted. The con servation of water Is not entirely for pur poses of Irrigation; navigation counts some. Then. too. projects 'are now being developed to take water out of the Snake River in Washington for irrigation. The flow ot the upper Snake River in Idaho is already appropriated. Unless the Lower Snake, the Salmon and Welser continue to carry a steady flow out of the Seven Devils Mountains, these projects will "be imperiled. True, Idaho does not benefit, but Washington does, and It is a National, not a state, forestry policy that President Roosevelt stands for. No New Scrip Created. But here is another and a more glowing Inaccuracy .than, .this lastThe "Boise correspondent" complains of extensive lieu 'selections made in Idaho with scrip procured In other .states, whtch Is all right. But he adds that by the creation ot new reserves, the Government has given the Northern Pacific railway the right to relinquish 6SS.1G0 acres la the Coeur d'Alene. Priest River extension and Shoshone reserves, that amount of rail road land having been Included. This Is an absolute untruth. The lieu-land law was repealed on March -3. IKS, and the Northern Pacific has no right to use a 'single aero in any of the new reserves as the basis of a lieu or-Indemnity selec tion. It may hold tho allotted sections along its right of. way, the alternate sec tions gran ted-by law, or it may sell those sections, but it cannot relinquish them to the Government and select other lands la exchange. Not an acre of scrip was cre ated when the new reserves were estab lished. Not a bit of fraud was perpe trated; no opportunity was given to the Northern Pacific or to any Individual to defraud the Government It sounds bad to charge that these reserves were created In the interest of the railroad. But the anti-reservists in Idaho apparentlyNdo not core for' the. facts; they want arguments. Incidentally II may" be saTd that there is no Shoshone reserve in Idaho at this time, though there is every reason to be lieve there will be, Mr. Heyburn'a op position notwithstanding. This .example of th manner of attack that let being made in Idaho against the 3Uoovfelt forestry,, .policy is typical; It shows- the shaky foundation on which the opposition rests, and it is only a question of time before the adherents ot Mr. Hey burn. who are opposing forest reserves, will get Into line ind support the Admin istration. It. la not claimed that the forestry pol icy is perfect; it is recognixed to be un satisfactory in several respects, but as quickly as these defects can be remedied, they are being changed for the better But the changes are not being made by the grumblers; rather by the men who believe In forestry, and who are earnest ly striving to Improve the Government system of forest control and administration. NO ANTI-FOREIGN FEELING .Minister Grlscom Explains Cause of Toklo Riots. OYSTER BAY, Sept. 11. A definite resume of the conditions In Toklo Is given in a "cablegram from Minister Grlscom to the Secretary ot State, which was transmitted today, to Presi dent Roosevelt. The cablegram, fol lows: "Toklo, Sept. 10, 1905. The violenco to a few foreigners and the attacks on Christian churches reported In my previous telegrams should not be con sidered to indicate any generally antl foreign or anti-Christian feeling. Tho former was quite incidental and tho latter due to sporadic antagonism to the Russian church and some' native Christians. The mob offered to sparo one American church If the minister could show an American flag; unfortu nately he could not. "Newspapers have during many months raised popular expectation so high that intense dissatisfaction with tho terms of peace resulted. Sentiment among army, navy and nobility, how ever, is understood to be more con servative. Six newspapers have been suspended. Martial law probably will continue for some time, thus insuring quiet. '.Meanwhile the legation guard of 12 soldles will continue." KATSURA EXPLAINS TREATY Long Session of Privy Council Op position Still Agitates. TOKIO, Sept. 11. (6:30 P. M.) Tho special session of the Privy Council to day lasted four hours. No bill was presented, only a report from the Cabi net Ministers. Premier Katsura mak ing an extended statement of the peace "negotiations. According to the constitution, a treaty with other powers requires to be submitted to Ihe Council before ratification. It is unusual to hold a special sitting for simply making a report on diplomatic affairs before a treaty assumes a form ready for ratifi cation, and the sitting today without a special bill -was rather unexpected. Opposition political parties have ap pointed an extensive committee to fully report on sufferings alleged to have been caused by the police during the recent rioting. The Progressives and their local branches continue to press resolutions against the govern ment. Tho Shlba branch condemns the government's assumption of the power to suspend newspapers, declaring It to be wholly ' unconstitutional." Quiet, however, prevails In Toklo. DENOUNCES TERMS OF PEACE Great Meeting at Osaka Causes. In juries in Crush. TOKIO, Sept. 11. (7:30 P. M.) A mass meeting at Osaka passed the fol lowing resolution without hindrance on the part of the police: The peace that has Just been concluded be tween Kurola an4-Japan forfeits the fruits of victory and sows ds ot future complica tions and danger. ' The govemme&t's high handed and unconstitutional measure has re sulted In unexpected disturbance to the peace ot the city In which the Mikado reside. The empire's honor has been soiled and the spirit of the constitution lost. Never has our coun try been brought to face greater danger. Therefore, be it Resolved. That we hope that the humiliating peace agreement will be broken and the gov. ernment will resign. TOKIO, Sept 12.-(S:30 A. M.) A later telegram from Osaka says that some con fusion was caused among the assemblage by men attempting to force their way Into the building in which the meeting was held. About 40 persons were slightly wounded, and one seriously hurt. Over 30 speeches . were delivered to the audi ence,, which numbered 4000. HOME MINISTER WILL RESIGN Will Fall Prey to Anti-Peace Aglta "tlon in Toklo. TOKIO, Sept 11. The resignation of Home Minister Koshikawa has not been accepted, but its acceptance is expected later. At the prefecture the Governors as sembled are reporting on provincial conditions. They are being Instructed regarding the policy to pursue towards the -disturbers.

OPENS MARKET TO AMERICA Russian Tariff Concession to Greatly Aid Machinery Exporters. WASHINGTON, Sept It The State Department has not yet been informed officially of the action of the Russian government revoking the ukase imposing maximum tariff rates on certain Ameri can articles of Importation. Ever since last Spring Ambassador Meyer has been trying to secure a removal of these re strictions on American trade. It was for a time expected that the de rired result could be secured by the mak ing of an agreement between the United States and Russia under section 3 of the DIngley act but the Russian govern ment Anally concluded that it would res cind the ukase voluntarily and without exacting a return favor. Consequently Amerlcan cast and wrought metal work, tools, machinery, portable engines, loco motivos and many other Important staple exports, which were being fairly driven out of the Rusjlan market by th,e com petition of German and English machinery favored by the minimum tariff rates, are now expected to have an enormous sale, not only In Russia proper, but In 81 beria. It is understood that Secretary Shaw will recommend to the Congress legisla tion calculated to remove some of the se vere features of the existing tariff laws providing for-the imposition ot a counter vailing duty on bounty-aided sugar, the application' of which by Secretary Gage in 1901 caused the retaliatory action by Russia. PROTEST AGAINST TREATY. Anglo-Cuban Agreement 3Iay Affect Cuban-American Relations. WASHINGTON, Sept. 11. Inquiry at the State Department into the status of the Anglo-Cuban treaty which Is now- before the commercial bodies of Havana for an expression of opin ion as to Its merits, has developed tho fact that as far back as last June the State Department through American Minister Squlers, lodged a most ener getic protest with the authorities at Havana against the consummation of the treaty as it then stood. The prin cipal objection was that It might oper ate In tho future to prevent the con clusion of another treaty between the United States and Cuba in the nature of reciprocal favors to be bestowed upon the shipping of the two coun tries. Minister Squlers hasr been Instructed r The only way you can smoke genuine Cuban crown leaf ki a full-sized 5-cent cigar is to say Cubanola" to the Man Behind the Counter.
