Nicholas Declines Post of Commander-in-Chief
Under
Martial Law.
LINEVITCH MAY GET IT
Czar's Distinguished Relative Hints
That Job Is Suitable Only for a
Military Man Czarevitch's
Gloomy Birthday.
iT. PETERSBURG. Aug. 13. Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholalevitch, the Asso
ciated Press is Informed by "a member of
his entourage, has declined to accept the
post of commander-in-chief of all the
troops of the Empire, "where martial law
exists," which was tendered to him Aug
ust 4.
Whether this was decided before or
after the attempt on the life of the
Grand Puke at Krasnoye-Selo on August
10 is not known, but the ostensible rea
son is that Grand Duke Nicholas believes
such a post should not be given to a
grand duke, but merely a military man.
He advocates the appointment of General
Unevitch, formerly commander-in-chief
of the Manchurlran army, but the Em
peror has not dually decided the matter.
Czarevitch's Gloomy Birthday.
Today the second birthday of the Czare
vitch was observed with the usual display
of flags and illuminations, but there was
no enthusiasm In the celebration. In
fact, few persons seemed even to know
what the occasion of the decorations was.
The day was quiet in the capital.
The activity of the Terrorists in the
provinces included, beside the usual har
vest of assassinations in Warsaw, 'an at
tempt on the life of General Karateieff,
chief of the gendarmerie of Samara prov
ince, and the wounding of Captain of Po
lice Ivanoff, of IJbau, by a youth who
fired thrice at him on the street.
The assailant of General Karatelleff
mounted the tair.s of the General's chan
cellory and threw a bomb at random. The
missile failed to explode and the miscre
ant escaped in spite of hot pursuit.
Warsaw's Governor Removed.
General Strijoff, acting Governor-General
of Warsaw City and province, has
been relieved of his office and will be suc
ceeded by General von Tarsky. It is con
jectured that the change is due to Gen
eral Strljoft's order with reference to
the responsibility of towns which General
Skallon, before his transfer to Helsingfors
as Governor-General of Finland, was
obliged to cancel.

DETECTIVE IS HELD UP
H. Ii. Pye Robbed by Masked High
wayman at Woodstock.
A private detective and a highwayman,
his face covered with a white handker
chief which prevented breathing fluently,
had it -out on the sandiots at Woodstock
last night, and the highwayman won by
dextrous ability with a revolver. The de
tective, H. L. Pye, who but lately Joined
the ranks of private sleuths, lost his
newly acquired star, J7 in silver and his
watch. The timepiece was later returned
after the works had been examined by
the masked man.
After spending a day of hard work, in
which he traveled from Vancouver,
Wash., to Portland and to Woodstock on
detective business, Pye was on his way
home when he met the highwayman. The
victim of the hold-up neglected to carry
his revolver, or the battle might have
had a different ending. Pye said last
night that his weapon would be always
with him in the future.
The highwayman met Pye with the old
md stage-worn expression, "Hands up!"
Pye refused. The highwayman Insisted,
first using argument and later force. He
placed his revolver against Pye's ribs and
Jammed the barrel so hard that Pye
winced. As the detective raised his arms
he attempted to grab the highwayman's
revolver and take it from him. A hand-to-hand
scuffle followed, in which Pye
went down.
The wihte mask bothered the highway
man's nasal exercise, but he persisted un
til he had conquered Pye. and made him
stand up with his back turned. Grasping
the detective by an upraised arm, he
placed the muzzle of his revolver against
his back and compelled him to submit to
being searched. The detective did not re
monstrate when his money was taken,
but he kicked when the robber attempted
to steal his watch. After examining the
timepiece the masked man returned it
with the icy remark that "the tin thing
Is no good, anyway."
A third dispute followed when the man
behind the gun attempted to take a gold
band ring from the detective's fingeri
The ring would not leave the finger
readily, so Pye was allowed to keep it.
Putting the detective's star and the
money in his pocket, the persistent hold
up ordered Pye to move on. Pye started
to run. but was stopped at a command
and a threatening movement of the pis
tol, and was told to slow up. as there was
no hurry. Pye complied until he thought
he was out of range, then hot-footed for
his home. On his way he stopped long
enough to notify residents of Woodstock
that he had been held up. With a friend,
Pye went to police headquarters and
made a report of the affair to Captain
Bruin.

COLORADO LEAVES BANKS
Torrential Rains in Texas Cause
Serious Floods Railroads Suffer.
HOUSTON, Tex., Aug. 12. The flood in
the Colorado River, which started By
torrential rains in San Angelo County
a week ago, is now flooding the valleys
and the farmers are endeavoring to save
what they can of their crops. Despite
every effort, the loss will be heavy, as
there are many farms in the bottoms
from Austin to the river's mouth.
Additional rains around Austin make it
certain that the flood period will last
about two weeks, and the river will leave

OBJECTS TO RATE
North Pacific Protests Against
Wheat Tariff. .
ASKS FOR MODIFICATION
Matter Comes Before Railway Com
mission at Olympia for Rehear
ing This Week No Evidence
to Justify Change.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 12. (Special.)
The Northern Pacific Railway Company
has filed with the Railroad Commission
formal objection to the order of the Com
mission relating to Joint wheat rates, to
gether with a brief in favor of a modifi
cation of the order.
In this brief- it is argued that no evi
dence was introduced at the recent hear
ing to show that any shipper would be
prejudiced by there being no Joint rate
from or between points on the line of the
Northern Pacific Railway Company or
from points on the line of the Washing
ton & Columbia River Railway Company,
with which it has a traffic agreement,
and an established Joint rate, to any
point on the Northern Pacific.
No Injustice Being Done. '
It is argued that the circumstances are
such that no injustice could possibly fol
low the failure of any other railway to
make a Joint rate between the same
points. It is insisted that the Commission
should not order the establishment of a
Joint rate from either Oakesdale, Garfield,
Pullman, Spokane, Connell, Walla Walla,
Dayton, Waitsburg. Hunt's Junction and
Wallula, and the Puget Sound terminals
of Tacoma, Seattle, Everett and Belllng
ham. because the Northern Pacific and
the Washington & Columbia are now car
rying freight between the points named
at the rate fixed by the Commission.
No Notice Given Company.
The Northern Pacific also objects to the
Bellingham terminal rate being directed
against it, on the ground that the com
pany was not included in the citation is
sued by the Commission in the Belling
ham terminal rate complaint.
Formal application is made for a modi
fication of the order of the Commission
in these matters, and it is probable the
Northern Pacific attorneys will be gjven
an opportunity to present further argu
ments to the Commission at Olympia dur
ing the coming week.
CAN BRYAN WIN AT ALL?
(Continued From Page 1.)
get In the North and East. How can he
get them?
- Can He Hold Old Sliver States.
Out of the entire list of Western states
carried by Bryan in 1S96, Montana, Colo
rado and Nevada are probably the only
ones which Bryan could possibly capture.
Since Nebraska, his home state, recov
ered from the silver craze, it has become
imbued with such rock-ribbed Republican
ideas that Bryan himself could not. un
less by a miracle, secure its few electoral
votes. He might get Colorado, unless
Roosevelt was running against him, and
he might capture Montana and Nevada.
Money plays a conspicuous part In the
politics of these three states, and this
factor has been largely responsible for
Democratic success in late years in all
three. Bat sentiment against corruption
has been aroused and these three states
are preparing to send Republicans to the
United States Senate in place of wealthy
Democrats, now1 considered defeated.
If Bryan captured any of these states,
it would be because of his old silver
views. A considerable element in the
Bryan ranks in these states still has
faith in 16 to 1, and would again follow
him if he took up the old battle-scarred
banner for a third time. Put Bryan on a
tariff platform or an anti-trust platform
with free silver left out, and the chances
are he could not even carry Colora'do,
Montana and Nevada. On the other
hand, the. free silver craze was burled
so deep 'in the other" seven states that
Bryan himself could not revive it to such
an extent as to gather a majority of the
votes. There has been an enormous in
flux of new people into all of these states
since Bryan last held the boards, and.
Judging by the increased Republican ma
jorities,' the new blood is not of that faith
that would rally round Bryan and his
silver banner.
These being the facts on which the
Eastern papers predict Bryan's defeat.
If nominated, it seems reasonable to ac
cept their Judgment as sound. Bryan
says he still believes in free silver; his
name will always be associated with that
issue, and, if nominated, he would
awaken that same distrust that defeated
him in two memorable campaigns. If
McKinley could overwhelm Bryan in
1896 and 1900, Roosevelt or Taft or Can
non or even Fairbanks ought to be able
to defeat hlmr In 1908, for Bryan seems to
advocate nothing that will serve to re
store confidence among the gold Demo
crats, but on the contrary advocates that
which will forever keep them out of the
party ranks.
Republican Fears Quieted. ,
When the Bryan boom was revived. . it
was generally believed that the party idol
had been convinced of the folly of his old
notions and that he would repudiate the
silver issue and run on latter-day ques
tions that have arisen since he last stood
in the limelight. Recognizing the personal
popularity of the man, his magnetism and
wonderful qualities as a leader, the Re
publicans became alarmed, fearing that
the new Bryan, on new Issues, would win
back those Democrats who deserted their
party in 1S96,' and, by taking up the cause
of the "common people," would make in
roads into the Republican ranks. They
feared the "new Bryan" and began to
look about for "a man to beat Bryan."
Then it was that the press generally ex
pressed the opinion that Bryan would
come pretty near sweeping the country,
and that fear did more than anything else
to revive the talk of a third term for
Roosevelt.
But leaders and papers that expressed
concern when the Bryan boom first took
hold, finding that they are confronted by
the same old Bryan and the same old
ideas, look forward with less concern to
1908. It seems to bs the prevailing belief
today that any one of the available Re
publican candidates could win out over
Bryan, unless Bryan, upon his return to
this country, once more buries the free
silver corpse and pledges himself to let it
rest forever in its grave. If he should do
that, there would be another revival of
third-term talk and more concern on the
part of Republican leaders. But only un
der those circumstances will Bryan be
considered a dangerous opponent.

tions today. Inspector Shippy questioned
more than a dozen of the Institution's

One bookkeeper was positive that Pres
ident Stensland's son was cognizant
of the shaky condition of the bank
previous to July. 14, the date on which
young Stensland first suspected irregu
larities on the part of his father. Other
employes told the inspector of midnight
trips to the bank by President Stens
land and Cashier Hering.
According to the Chicago Chronicle,
Paul O. Stensland, the president of the
defunct bank, and for whom the police

IRRIGATION INCREASES YIELD
Output In Rogue River Valley Large
as Last Year.
GRANT'S PASS. Or.. Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) The area of hops In Rogue River
Valley last year was 812 acres. No new
yards were planted this year, while 26
acres were dug up and 34 acres not
cultivated.
The yield for the valley promises to
be as large this year as last, while the
quality will be much better. The season
has been very favorable for the growth
of the vines. Most of the yards have
been put under Irrigation, thereby in
creasing the yield fully 20 per cent and
the quality 15 per cent.
Picking will begin the last week In
August. Not a contract sale has been

that the price will yet go higher.

ESTER MITCHELL BETTER
GIRL SHOWS SIGNS OF DECIDED
IMPROVEMENT.
Typhoid Diagnosis May Have Been
Mistaken Mrs. Creffleld Nurses
Accomplice In Murder.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Aug. 12. (Special.)
Esther Mitchell will recover from her ill
ness within a short time, unless new
complications arise. This is the opinion
of Dr. Snyder, the jail physician, who left
the girl's bedside at 8:20 o'clock this eve
ning. During the day Miss Mitchell
showed unmistakable signe of , Improve
ment, and there is a fair possibility that
she will be able to get around her cell as
usual this week. But that all depends
upon the turn her disease takes.
The jail authorities have permitted the
female prisoners in the women's ward to
attend Esther. Mrs. Creffleld has been
admitted to the cell to minister to the
girl, and Dr. Snyder sarj-s he regards her
visits as beneficial.
Though a diagnosis, made last night.
Indicated typhoid fever, the turn of the
case today leads Dr. Snyder to believe
the case is less serious. The physician
said' tonight that her condition has im
proved greatly and her temperature is
nearly normal. She was up for a few
moments, but had to go back to bed,
and the constant attention of female pris
oners as nurses is regarded as advisable.
If the girl's health improves she will
go to trial next month for the murder
of her brother. If not, a later date may
be set. But Dr. Snyder was far more
hopeful tonight than he has been.

CIRCUS MANAGER IS HERE
JAY RIAL, A VETERAN OF THE
SHOW BUSINESS.
Now With Forepaugh & Sells Broth
ers, Who Are Soon to
Be in Portland.
Jay Rial, one of the old-time theatrical
men of the United States, arrived in Port
land yesterday and registered at the Ore
gon Hotel. He is now connected with the
Forepaugh & Sells Bros.' circus as con

Mr. Rial was manager of the first
troupe of theatrical players who ever
went over the circuit of the towns after
the completion of the Northern Pacific
Railroad from St. Paul to Portland.
Years ago, when Mr. Rial first came
to Portland, there were no railroads, and
the theatrical people were compelled to
come by boat or stagecoach. In those
days the companies put up at Louis Ep
pinger's place down on First street. The
playhouse was the New Market Theater.
At one time Mr. Rial was manager of
the Baldwin Theater in San Francisco.
This building was erected by "Lucky"
Baldwin, the great racehorse man, who
Is now 'thought to be fatally 111 In the
East. Later Mr. Rial was in charge of
the old California Theater.
Mr. Rial has traveled in nearly all parts
of the civilized world. Only recently he
entered the circus business. He has made
three trips to Australia, several to Africa
and all the other countries where theatri
cal people may make a living. One of the
notables whom Mr. Rial brought to Port
land was Madame Modjeska, the great
Polish actress, who toured this country.

you feel all run down, then is
the time you need a good

over weak nerves, why it
makes the blood rich, and
why it gives courage and
strength. Ask him if it is not
just the medicine you need.

Yesterday the Forepaugh & Sells Bros.'
circus made one of the longest Jumps on
record In the show business. The circus
left Spokane as soon as possible after
the Saturday night performance and trav
eled all day yesterday, until their desti
nation. Bellingham, was reached. The)
distance is something more than 450 miles.
Short Jumps are usually made by the big
show companies, but the trip from Spo
kane to Bellingham could not be avoided.
During the Journey yesterday it Was)
necessary to unload and feed the animals
at two different points. This not only
required time but a great deal of work
on the part of the management. One of.
the stops was at Cascade tunnel on the
Great Northern Railroad. This spot is
at the summit of the mountains, and was
selected because of the fact that there la
plenty of open ground for the temporary
camp and an abundance of good water
for the animals. One of the stops was
made at 10 o'clock yesterday ftiornlng
and the other during the afternoon. For
the welfare of the animals, and that they
may be fed properly. It is necessary to
make stops when long trips are being
made. Jumps of 450 miles are exceedingly
rare, however, with the big circuses.
The Forepaugh fc Sells Bros." shoir
Is now owned by Rlngllng Bros. Since
the death of James A. Bailey last Spring
they have purchased the entire properties.
Before Mr. Bailey's death he owned part
of the show and the Ringllngs the other
half.
The Forepaugh show opened this year
at Columbus, Ohio, on April" 22. One of
the features this year is a scene called
"Fighting the Flames." On April 17, the
day before the San Francisco earth
quake, Mr. Rial went back into the his
tories of the world In the libraries of Co-
! lumbus and wrote an article concerning
all the great fires which had taken place.
A lengthy article of 4000 or 6000 words was
prepared, covering the destruction of
Rome by Nero, the burning of Moscow by
the Russians, disastrous fires in London,
New York, the Chicago conflagration and!
all others of any Importance. This story
was for use In connection with advertis
ing Forepaugh's "Fighting the Fire'
scene.
Mr. Rial had given his article to one of
the editors of a Columbus newspaper
early on the morning of April 18. Within
a short time the first news was received:
that an earthquake had shaken San
Francisco and that the entire city was
on fire. In less than half an hour the
enterprising Columbus paper had an ex
tra on the street covering several pages)
with a complete story of all the great
fires which had been recorded since the
history of the world began.
People marveled at the wonderful en
terprise shown by the editors and won
dered how they had accomplished tha
feat. But It was an accident and due to
the enterprising spirit of the circus man.
