ALL IS QUIET NOW Governor Magoon Expects a , Peaceful Administration. LOOKING FOR MINISTERS Cabinet Will Not Be Formed Until Conditions Have Been Thoroughly Investigated and Needs of Departments Are Known. HAVANA, Oct. 14. Charles E. Ma goon's first day as Governor of Cuba passed busily but quietly. The palace was singularly still compared with the eventful days of the past regime. Governor Magoon said to the Associated Press that he was looking forward with confidence to a peaceful administration. He expressed the warmest appreciation of the work accomplished by Messrs. Taft and Bacon, both in the pacification of the island and laying the foundation for a smooth and ' successful system of provisional government. The Governor sees no reason to anticipate further sud den, changes in the situation or any especially sensational incidents; he is rather of the opinion that now govern mental matters will be of the common place order, compared with the exciting and rapid succession of developments of the past two months. Governor Magoon has announced his decision to postpone the appointment of Cabinet officers indefinitely. His inten tion is to consider thoroughly the condi tions and needs of each department, and this can be better accomplished at the outset by having the subordinate heads report direct to himself. By this method the Governor believes he will be better enabled to select the ministers best fitted for the respective posts. Asked whether he was likely to . per mit partisan political expediency to in fluence Cabinet or other appointments, the Governor replied that such consider ations might rule to some extent since it certainly would be impolitic to appoint to high office men to whom a consider able portion of the people were opposed. Efficiency and suitability, however, would be the main considerations. There will be kept a strict accounting of such ex penses incurred by the American Army of Occupation as are chargeable to Cuba. These will include only such expenses as would not have been incurred but for the coming of the troops to the island. The last demonstration of welcome to returning ex-rebels took place here to day upon the arrival of General Julian Eetanoourt. who was formerly Pino Guerra's chief of staff. Betancourt has been detained in Pinar del Rio collecting insurgent arms and settling other mat ters. He is popular in the capital. A crowd of 2W persons met him at the Villa. Nueva station and greeted him with roars of delight. Padre Mirala, a revolutionary priest who accompanied the General, also was enthusiastically wel comed. The crowd was composed almost entirely of negroes. With three band's of music they paraded through several squares around Central Park and down the Prado, and finally left Betancourt at his home. The City of Washington, with head quarters and first battalion of the Eleventh Infantry on board, and the Ad miral Schley, with Company I of the Signal Corps and the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Batteries of mountain artil lery, have arrived here The troops have gone to 'Camp Columbia. The headquar ters and third battalion of the Fifth In fantry have been transferred from Camp Columbia to Cardenas General J. Franklin Bell intends to dis tribute a battalion of engineers through out the island for the purpose of verify ing, correcting and completing the large army map of Cuba begun during the former intervention but not completed except for the Provinces of Havana and Matanzas. The 25 marines ordered to the Isle of Pines by Secretary . of War Taft pro ceeded thither today from Betabano in a coasting vessel. porarily to comply with their official obli gations." The Governor begs his hearers to resist temptations and urges them not to be car ried away by their passions and to treat all citizens and factions alike. Expect a Permanent Occupation. LONDON, Oct. 15 (Special.)-Very few people here believe that the American oc cupation of Cuba will be temporary, and no one who has any interest, commercial or otherwise, in the islands desires that it should be bo. The general opinion is that the Cubans will be no more likely to be able to govern themselves in two years than they are now, and the United States will find it difficult to restore the independence of the island. It is thought that the theory of tem porary occupation will be maintained for a long time, perhaps for several years, but circumstances will overrule the pres ent intention of the United States Government. Aleman Appeals for Order. HAVANA. Oct 14 Governor Aleman. of Santa Clara Province, has issued an appeal to the various armv officers in his department to establish order and exercise patriotic activity in order to maintain the existence of the republic. The appeal said in part: "It car.nnt be doubted tint a malority of j the Cubans lack a clear and definite con- . ception of the exercise cf liberty and 1 compliance with liberties It is also nec essary for the sake of truth to declare that In the provinces many functionaries of the administration have failed tem- NEXT POPE NOT A SAINT Need of a Politician at the Vatican Is Recognized. ROME. Oct. 14. In spite of the fact that the pope is enjoying perfect health, the matter of possible results of the next conclave, whenever it does occur, is be ing discussed among the cardinals, and this with no desire to anticipate the elec tion or to be disrespectful to the pontiff. The feeling among the cardinals has changed greatly since August, 1903, and today there exists a tendency quite oppo site to that which triumphed three years ago. In view of the Vatican's experiences with France, the cry this time will be not for a merely religious pope, but a political pope; not for a saint, but for a statesman. Even the strongest opponents of three years ago of Cardinal Rampolla now fa vor his election. Rampolla failed in 1S03 chlefjy because he was vetoed by Cardi nal Puzyna, in the name of Austria, speaking for the entire Triple Alliance. Although Pope Pius has suppressed the right of veto abrogated by certain pow ers, the reason which induced the Triple Alliance to oppose Cardinal Rampolla still exist, and the church is today less able to afford displeasing the Central Empire. Consequently there are rumors of an ex periment with a foreign pope, in spite of the disfavor of the Italians. For the last four centuries all the popes have been Italians. In this connection the recent election of Father Wernx to be bishop of the Jesuits is considered symptomatic. Every one prophesied that the general would be an Italian, but finally a German was chosen. HAS NO RIGHT TO REFUSE If People Demand It, Citizen Should Bow to Will. COLUMBUS. O.. Oct. 14. "No man In this Republic is so great that he should not bow to the demands of his fellow citizens to fill any office at any time regardless of circumstances if the peo ple of the country demand it. "No man who has been elected to the office of President has a moral right to refuse a re-election if the people de mand it ana the argument here made ex tends that situation forward so long as the demand of the people continues." These are the conclusions to an article written by Congressman Charles H. Gros venor. on the subject. "A Third Term for the President." for the Ohio magazine. DASHES THROUGH GATES Chicagd Street-Car Runs Into Train, and Three May Die. CHICAGO, Oct 14 (Special.) Eleven persons were injured, three probablv fatally, in a collision early this (Mon day) morning between an Archer-avenue trolley car and a belt-line freight train at the Archer-avenue and Forty-eighth-street crossing. The train was crossing the street as the car approached. The motorman could not make the brakes work and the car dashed through the gates and into the moving train. John Dressenbacher. the watchman at the crossing, was arrested, but was able to show that the gates were down and was later released. WRECKS CARJ0 SAVE LIFE New York Autoist Is Picked TTp Very Badly Hurt. CENTRAL VALLEY. N . Y.. Oct. 15. Dashing down a steep hill in an automo bile which had got. beyind his control.

ROSSIA ACCLAIMS MOVE Personal Organ of the Prime Min ister Hails Organization as Com posed of Real Constitution alists and Liberals. ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 14 The League of Octoberists has been adopted by Pre mier Stolypm as tne governmental party, and to it all the strength of the admin istration will be . turned in the coming elections. The Premier's personal organ, the Ros Bia, in a leading article today announces the idea of the formation of an independ ent government party and hails the Oc toberists as the real constitutional and liberal organizations on whose platform the friends of peaceful regeneration win find the expression of their slncerest hopes. "We greet such a firm declaration of principles," the Rossla says, "seeing therein a correct point of view for .rela tions between government and party in which there can be oo-operative work ad vantageous to both." The announcement foreshadows the en trance of M. Guchkoff in the Cabinet. The door is now open to M. Guchkoff. and the party is pledged not to accept the portfolio until the control of the Ministry is surrendered. The attitude of the Ministry toward the Constitutional Democrats has not been altered by the partial backdown from the proposals of the Viborg manifesto at the recent congress in Helsingfors. The or gan of the Constitutional Democrats in Saratov Province was suppressed today. Through the Rossia, Premier Stolypin has announced that the renunciation of the passive resistance idea in the coming elections will not be sufficient and that the party still will be considered openly revolutionary. The congress at Helsingfors was re markable for the first open admission of the absence of infallibility in Constitu tional Democratic tactics in the recent parliament. Up to the present time the Liberals have insisted that the party's procedure in parliament was entirely cor rect and that the government was to blame for the dissolution. M. Naboukoff, the floor leader of the party in the last parliament, declared at Helsingfors that the Constitutional Democratic deputies had been too greatly influenced by the burning zeal of the group of toil and had committed great tactical mistakes by the adoption of the appeal to the people, which Justified the government to close the session. Twenty-four ex-members of the last parliament' are now in prison on various charges. Ten fied to avoid arrest, five were deported from their home provinces and two have been flogged. Statistics of drumhead . oourtmartial show there were 182 executions during the first month of its existence, and that the daily average of executions is now higher. Sixteen men were executed yes terday. , A majority of the sentences passed and executed are not for political crimes, but for highway, bank and Strain robbery, holdups in streets and murder, all of which have flourished under the demoralization attending the revolution. STEAL CARLOAD OF REVOLVERS Polish Revolutionists, Disguised as Soldiers, Present Forged Papers. WARSAW, Russian Poland. Oct. 14. A consignment of several thousand revol vers, purchased by the Russian goverfi jrent in Berlin, recently fell into the hands of the Polish revolutionists Soon after the arrival of the car containing "the pistols at the Warsaw freight yards an artillery officer and a squad of soldiers appeared and presented the bills of lading and an authorization to receive the weapons, which were loaded upon a wagon and carried away. It later de veloped that the soldiers were disguised revolutionists and the documents forged. Investigation shows that since last De cember the revolutionists have been ac cumulating large stocks of rifles and re volvers in Poland, the greater part of these, according to a member of the party, being purchased in Berlin. There, their agents, well supplied with money from the proceeds of recent robberies and forced contributions, are able to pay cash for weapons of the latent pattern. The consignments, it is said, have sev eral times been shipped ' by railroad In bond to Warsaw, the buyers arranging, by bribing railroad employes, to have the car sidetracked at some convenient place on the Russian side of the frontier where it is opened and the contents carried away. They also smuggled in large num bers over the regular overland routes for revolutionary literature. Although the border is closely guarded, smugglers have little difficulty, owing to conniv ance of the soldiers, and professional smugglers have regular rates of $1.50 per pound for illegal pamphlets and books. For arms the rate is somewhat higher. As a rule the smugglers work in groups of three or four. Arriving at the frontier one of the party approaches the guard, makes terms with him. the regular price for a free passage being about $5, paying half in advance and taking possession of the soldiers rifle until the other mem bers have crossed the frontier. In spite of the efforts of the police, few of the revolutionary arsenals have yet been discovered. MEYER TAKES TRIP TO ODESSA. Visit of American Ambassador Is Without Political Significance. ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 14. George von L. Meyer, the American Ambassador, has left here on a flying trip to Odessa, Sevastopol and the Crimea. He is accom panied by Major William W. Gibson, who will inspect military conditions in Eu rope. Mr. Meyer's trip is devoid of polit ical significance. He is simply taking an opportunity to visit an interesting section of Russia. Approaching changes in the Cabinet are reported. Newspapers comment favorably on them, saying they are in the interest of peace. Information received here confirms pre vious reports that the Sultan of Turkey is gravely ill. Although he attends the Sa lamlik and grants audiences, his malady is incurable, and will perhaps soon have a fatal termination. The Shah of Persia is also said to be seriously ill. SOKE GOES ASHORE NOSE IN SAND INSIDE HUM BOLDT BAY ENTRANCE. In Attempting to Avoid Collision With Scotia Both Vesels Get Out of Channel. EUREKA. Cal.. Oct 14. The steam- ers Roanoke and Scotia are on the south spit, inside the entrance to the bar in Humboldt Bay. destined to re main there until morning, if not long er. There Is no danger to either vessel unless the weather changes, and the bar becomes rough, in which event they are likely to be wrecked. There could be no loss of life, as the passengers could be taken off with safety. The life-saving crew in its boat is now aligned alongside, also the Federal gasoline launch, and they will remain there until morning. The Scotia, lumber laden, left port about half an hour before the Roanoke- She went out on the bar, but finding it choppy, turned around and came back to the harbor for the night. The Roanoke left port at 6 o'clock, and passing the south jetty wharf, turning; into the channel, outward bound, discovered the Scotia right ahead. In order to avoid a collision, both ves sels turned out of the channel and landed on the south spit. The Scotia, by reason of her lighter draught, went on 50 feet, farther than the Roanoke. The Roanoke got out of the channel just a length, her etern remaining in the channel, while her bow was on the sand. The distress whistle being blown, the tug Ranger responded and a line was thrown to the Roanoke and made fast. At 10:30 this evening all efforts to move the big vessel proved unavailing. In fact, the .efforts drove the 6teamer higher on the sand and now ehe is hard and fast, and will prove a heavy lift. All the passengers on the Roanoke are orderly, the captain assuring the passen gers of their safety. It is expected that the floodtide will shift the vessel and permit the tug to pull her off. No diffi culty Is anticipated in getting the Scotia into deep water again, once the Roanoke is out of the wav. POSTAL DEFICIT IS LESS RECEIPTS FOR 1906 SHOW GREAT INCREASE. Expenditures Have Been Larger but Less in Proportion Than Last 1'ear. WASHINGTON. Oct. 14 Postmaster General Cortelyou has given out an ad vance statement of the receipts and ex penditures of the postal service for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1906. It shows a reduction of the annual deficit from $14,572,54 for 1905 to $10,516,996 for 1906. over $4,000,000. or 27.832 per cent. The total re ceipts for 1906 were $167,932,753. an increase over 1905 of $15,106,198, which is the greatest increase for any year in the history of the service. The per cent of increase in receipts for 1906 is 9.S8, as compared with 6.42 for 1905. The total expenditures during 1906 were $178,449,779. an increase of $11,050,610 over 1905. The per cental increase in expendi tures is less than for a number of years and smaller by one-third than the per cent of increase during 1905. GENERAL STOESSEL RETIRED. Imperial Order Gives III Health as the Reason. ST PETERSBURG, Oct- 14. An imperial order giving notice of the retirement of General Stossel, on the ground of ill health, has appeared. Rector Threatens to Resign. MOSCOW. Oct. 14. Owing to the fact that the police have forbidden student meetings in the university buildings, the rector and vice-rector of the university decided to resign. They were, however, prevailed upon to defer action pending the result of a deputation sent to the Minister of Education in the matter. SWITCHMEN NOT STRONG Most of Them Are Affiliated With the Trainmen's Union. CHICAGO. Oct. 14. (Special.) Grand Master Morrissey, of the Railway Train men's Union, is not greatly impressed by the talk of a strike by the switchmen on all the railroads between Buffalo and the Pacific Coast. October 25. Mr. Morrissey arrived here tonight to Investigate reports of the contemplated walk-out. "There are 38,000 switchmen in the coun try," he said, "and our organization con trols 23,800 of them, so it is easy to see that an order calling out the Switchmen's Union will come far from stopping all transportation. "A movement is on foot on the train men's part, however, for higher wages and an eight-hour day. While our plans are fully made, we shall proceed con servatively."

II Made by Hood It's Good (Schubert Week at Reed-French's, Oct IE to 22.) It's About Reed-French's Business Six people bought Schubert Pianos last Saturday at forced prices and everyone saved a hundred dollars As Fine a Piano as Ever Went Over a Pianoman's Threshold for $315 (the Retail Price of a Schubert Is $450) Pay $8 or $10 a Month 'A few days ago Reed-French's Eastern office promised the Schubert Piano Fac tory to have their Portland store take care of three cars of Schubert Pianos, due to arrive here about the first of October. The Schubert people were in a quandary as to how to handle these pianos, as they had discontinued their agency here after the cars had left the factory. There was no one in Portland to look out for the pianos. The Schubert Company are friends of this company, and as a business courtesy we agreed to sell these pianos, provided we could sell them in our own way, namely: To the factory cost add the actual freight and a reasonable wareroom charge no other appendages allowed. The Schubert people consented to this. Our method of selling does away with the retailer altogether and brings the two principals together it's "maker to player," and nobody else. beautiful Schubert for less money than retailers will want for . . Get "up-town" prices and then see us this is the way "We will sell you a a very ordinary piano. . to make the test. We Made Some Good Friends Saturday Let Us Tell You About Them. A School Teacher: He lives on the East Side - you'd know his name were we to tell it this gentleman lived for years in a piano factory town he's seen pianos go together from castors to top board and he knows lie says a Schubert Piano for $315 must be an eye-sore to uptown retailers he personally knows lots of people who have paid $40) and over for a piano that should not be spoken of in the same breath with a Schubert. It didn't take him five minutes to select his piano. He pays us $8 a month. A lady Clerk i A Schubert sale that Interested us immensely was the last one for the day (we sold six Schuberts Saturday'). This Httle lady is a clerk in one of the department stores here, and couldn't get around until after 10 o'clock but she wanted a piano she wanted to learn and to help a younger sister to learn. Neither one of these girls could touch the piano throughout the day, for they work, and vet this fact did not deter them buying a piano and trying as best they knew how to advance themselves. It is this independence on the part of the women that accounts for America's greatness today. An Expressman i We'd like to tell you about him but we haven't room he's giving his surplus change to his children if every man would do this it wouldn't be such a hard job to be a child. This man will pay $5 00 every month for a Schubert for the little fellows. Can you use a beautiful piano? This is Schubert week! $315. (Retails for $450.)
