GRAB OF HARBOR Portland Riparian Owners Dis appointed of Expected Plunder. CHANNEL NONE TOO WIDE War Department Approves Recom mendation of Koessler and Mac kenzie VJiarf-Owners . Mast Dredge for Deep Water. OR.EG0NIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, D. C, Nov. 27, The Portland ; harbor grab, attempted by the O. R. & ! N. Company, Allen & Lewis, J. C. Flan- ders and the Portland Gas Company was killed late this afternoon by General Oli ver, Assistant Secretary of War. Port land's harbor lines will remain unchang ed. General CHiver, after a careful re view of the request of the wharf owners, approved the recommendation of General Mackenzie, Chief of Engineers, who -in turn had heartily endorsed the recom mendation of Lieutenant-Colonel Itoes sler, the local engineer ofticer. This ac tion is irrevocable. Kach ofricial who passed upon the case made a thorough study of the situation in Portland harbor and each concluded that there Is none too much room to accommodate the growing commerce. On the other hand, it was the unanimous opinion of the officials that there was no justice In the demand made by the O. R. Ac N. Company and others, notwithstand ing their request was approved by the Port of Portland Commerce Commission. Where They Got the Facts. Tneidentally It should be stated that General Mackenzie and General Oliver vicra considerably impressed by the ex posure of the attempted grab made by the Oregonlan and Telegram, for all clip pings bearing on this case were in the hands of the department and were con sidered with other evidence. In turning down the grab. General Oliver said: "It appears from the report of Colonel Itoessler that good reasons exist from a navigator's point of view that no nar rowing of the river at this point should be permitted, and that of the saving of expense to the owners of riparian prop erty is no warrant for running any risk of Injuring the capacity of the harbor. , 'Ine harbor lines at Portland were es tablished in 1SI'2 and slightly modified in IMS, it being evident that revision was desirable. A thorough investigation of the subject was then made by the board of engineers and a new system of lines was approved by the Secretary of War June a, 1900. No Further Encroachments. The harbor of Portland Is practically the channel of the Willamette river, and the engineer authorities report that it has been so encroached upon by shore constructions and bridge piers placed In the stream that inconvenience to navi gation, and even complaints of flood danger, have arisen. The board. In pro posing the present system of lines, ex pressed Itself to the effect that strict supervision must be maintained In future to see that no further encroachments are permitted, especially in the narrower portions of the river. The lines then es tablished are held to be protective to navigation and to the property interests Involved. "It appears that the applicants seek this change of the harbor lines to per mit the extension of existing wharves to deeper water for the purpose of avoiding the expense of removing deposits. It. is shown, however, that this expense will not be large and the maintenance of the depth required hereafter will not be a heavy burden. The Chief of Engineers concurs in the opinion of the local offi cer that there is therefore insufficient reason for changing the lines which have been established for the protection and preservation of the harbor and that the lines should remain as now fixed, In view of which the Department must deny the application of the petitioners." Notice Sent to Grabbers. Official notification of the Department's action was forwarded by mail tonight to tho nArannn ivhn attnmnt.il Vin " " fetAU kiieu iniui iiitiuuii using suusuinuauy as set forth above. Secretary Taft is so deeply engrossed with the Niagara Falls hearing that he was unable to give personal attention to the Portland case, and for that reason the decision was rendered by the Assist ant Secretary. ATTACK LEOPOLD'S RIGHTS Belgian Socialists Demand of Pri vate Domain In Congo. BRUSSELS, Nov. 27. The promised lm Jjortant debate on the Congo Independent Btate did not come up in Parliament to day, but was postponed until tomorrow, when M. Vanderveld, a Socialist member. will offer a motion asking that Parlia ment refuse to accept the terms of King Leopold's will bequeathing the state to Belgium, with the stipulation that the royal private domains there be main tained integrally after its annexation, and opposing the general policy of colo nization. The anti-colonial party, which Is, com posed of radical Socialists, will strongly second M. Vanderveld's motion. M. Van derveld is also supported by a few dis sident Conservatives who are antagonistic to the Premier. Should annexation take place without a. guarantee for maintenance of the royal domains, the American concessions in these domains will probably be adversely affected. The Minister of Foreign Affairs. Baron M. Defavre, announced this afternoon that no communication had been received from Great Britain in the matter of re lations between Belgium and the Inde pendent state. The Minister said Belgium was confident of her rights and of those of the state and intended to act with per fect freedom. Nampa Foundry Is Destroyed. BOISE. Idaho. Nov 27.

EQUALITY THEIR BUGBEAR Want Klectlon Law changed to Dis tinguish Classes, Lest New Douma Should Shake Foundation of Czar's Throne. ST. PETERSBURG,. Nov. 27. A cam paign for the purpose of encouraging the government to introduce immediate changes in the election laws was begun here by the Corps of Nobility. The Corps called a special convention to meet here and the session was attended by 111 dele gates from 35 provinces. M. Bobzhynsky presided. The prospects of the approaching ele& tions were frankly spread before the eyes of the convention by the executive coun cil In a printed document.. The document 6et forth that no change had yet been made in the final election laws, that the Conservatives were doomed and that the second lower house of Parliament would be more radical than the first. The coun cil discounted the deductions drawn abroad from the recent uniform defeats that befel Constitutional Democrats in the Zemstvo elections, saying a limited franchise assured an easy victory for the Conservatives, but that it was a fool's paradise to base on this expectations of a victory in the lower house. The council directed its attack espe cially against certain clauses of the law equalizing non-Russians and guaranteeing the peasant body one seat in the House for each province, and said the hopes that the peasant Deputies would be obedient lambs had been cruelly falsi fled. The council calls for a thorough overhauling of the election laws. on the basis of class distinctions, differentiating sharply between peasants, small land owners, large landowners and townsmen and advises the government to be guided by the common sense of the council of the Corps of Nobles. It says also that the next lower house will be circumspect and avoid pitfalls until complete preparations to obtain mastery Ere made, that a second dissolu tion of the House will shake the foun dations of the throne and that the time to fight the new house is now. before .the new delegates are chosen. sengerg of the steamer China, which ar rived here today from Yokohama on the way to San Francisco, was George Ger nushi, a Russian revolutionist who was once sentenced to death, but was re prieved at the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War and exiled to Siberia. He af terwards escaped to Japan. He announced that he-was returning to Russia to con tinue his revolutionary efforts. V PliAX OF POPULAR EDUCATION Minister Proposes Government Aid to Local Authorities. ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 27. The Min ister of Education, M. Kauffman, vhas submitted to the Cabinet a plan for the reform of the primary education system of Russia, which, next to the agrarian reforms, is recognized as the gravest problem confronting the Russian govern ment. The most important feature of the Minister's proposals is one providing for the abandonment of the old policy, which, GOING BACK TO WORRTCZAR Escaped Russian Exile Returning After Escaping Siberia. HONOLULU, Nov. 27. Among the pas- in accordance with the dictum that educa tion was synonymous with revolution, threw hindrances In the way of the ef forts of the Zemstvos and private per sona to spread elementary knowledge among the ignorant masses of the Rus sian peasantry. It even imposed a veto on instruction being given in history and similar branches of education. M. Kauffman recommends Instead that the central government support material ly and morally all such efforts and as sume the payment of minimum salaries to teachers In the popular schools opened by the Zemstvos and other local administrations. Prisoners Gain Liberty. VX.ADIMIR. Russia, Nov. 27. The pris oners confined here mutinied today and aa a result 33 are now at liberty.

A special dispatch tb the Call from Sacramento says that the Republic of Mexico, through Consul-General Ornelas. has called upon Governor Pardee to stop the sale of fire, arms by citizens of this state to the Yaqui Indians, now in rebellion against Mexican ' authority in the State of Sonora. If this supply Is cut oft. the Consul-General de clares, it will reduce the menace to Mexi can and American interests In the ter ritory occupied by the Yaqul Indians. There is no state law directly covering the matter, but the Governor, it Is said, will use every endeavor to stop the practice.
