THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, JUXE 22, 1907. PREMIER BACKED UP BY DEPUTIES Given Free Hand in His Efforts to Suppress the Wine growers. HEATED DEBATE AT PARIS Kens of Mutiny Brings Excited Au dience to Chambers Opposition Denounces the Government In Bitter Terms. r'ARIS, Juno 21. By a majority of 1S4, the Chamber of Deputies this aft ernoon voted confidence in the govern ment and Grave the ministers a free hand to employ the measures they think best to re-establish order in the disturbed southern departments. This result came after a day of excitement over the mutiny of troops, following the widespread disorders of the wine growers. The grave view the French capltol takes of the revolutionary attempts and the tragic outcome was evinced by the scene In the Chamber of Deputies when the government was interpreted on the measures it proposed to take. Even standing room was not obtain able. Many women listened to the debate which at times was superheated. Premier Clemenceau lost no time in Imparting to the deputies the news from Narbonne. adding to the Informa tion already published the fact that over a hundred soldiers were wounded In the fighting yesterday, the rioters, he said, had disappeared from the streets. Peasants from the surround ing villages, terrified at the shooting, took the first trains for home. Premier Appeals for Support. Then, amid Impressive silence, the premier gave the official version of the mutiny of the battalion of the 17th regiment at Agde, and its march to Bezlers, fully confirming the dispatches of the Associated Press. The premier added that he could not listen to any proposition for the conditional sur render of the mutineers, as it would be an almost fatal move for the gov ernment to capitulate to the soldiery. He concluded with the demand for a vote of confidence, so that the min isters could carry out In the name of the Chamber, the work of repression. The opposing Deputies accused the Min isters of sending agents to stir up the populace In the South, Baying that the soldiers acted like Cossacks; that the troops fired with little provocation and without notification, and that women and children had been slaughtered. They in sisted that the release of M. Fertloul, ex Mayor of Narbonne, would alone restore calm. Otherwise, one of the speakers as serted, "The bloody rioting of today will be the revolution of tomorrow." Country Before Party. Rx-Minister of Commerce Mlllerand's tlenunclatlon of M. Clemenceau was par ticularly violent, but fell flat, as he la strongly suspected of a desire to succeed to the Premiership. Some of the Parliament members of the opposition appeared to place the In terests of the country above their party and supported the Government. After six hours debate the Chamber, by a vote of 31'3 to 237, decided to support the Cabinet. The receipt of a dispatch from Bezlers later in the day. announcing that the mutinous battalion had decided to return to the rest of the regiment, caused de cided satisfaction in official circles, as it hoped that the action would hold oft fur ther open Insubordination. t-iOLDIEUS JOIX THE REBELS Battalion Mutinies, Then Reconsid ers and Gives Up Arms. PARIS. June 21. A battalion of the Seventeenth Infantry Regiment, stationed at Agde, in the department of Herault. has deserted with Its arms and ammu nition and Joined the Insurgent winegrow ers at Bezlers. the headquarters of the regiment. The mutineers mostly were recruited among the winegrowers and number about '00 men. They marched into Bezlers. which has about 60,000 in habitants, with drums beating and colors flying, and are now camped in the prin cliwl square of that city, with arms stacked. The deserters tried to enlist the sympathies of the remainder of the regi ment, stationed at Beziers, but falling to do this, they promised to eject them from their barracks. Karly this morning the Prefect of Be zlers notined Premier Clemenceau that the mutineers had agreed to return to Agde on condition that they were not punished. A little later they renewed their demand to be allowed to reoccupy their former barracks at bezlers. M. Clemenceau curtly replied that he would not parley with deserters or con sider any proposition but unconditional surrender, adding that he was determined to utilize all the government's forces, if necessary, to suppress the uprising. Details of the mutiny show that a bat talion of the Seventeenth Infantry sent from Bezlers to Agde. on account of the soldiers'. sympathy with the local wine growers, mutinied there this morning, raided the magazine, filled their pouches with cartridges and with fixed bayonets and flags flying, marched out of Agde and entered Beziers. When notified of the mutiny General Crolsade, commanding the Sixty-first Bri gade, met the mutineers at Ullleneuve and attempted to persuade them to re turn to duty. "Soldiers," hs commanded, "kill me or obey me." The soldiers replied that they had no de-lre to kill the Oeneral. but were de termined to return to Bezlers. A detach ment of gendarmes tried to bar the road, but after the mutineers had tired a voUey In the air they were permitted to pass. .The mutineers, although without offi cers, marched Into Beziers In perfect or der at 6 o'clock this morning, the cheera of the local crowds mingling with the rolling of the drums and the strains of the bugles. After stacking arms the de serters announced their intention to re main on the square until allowed to re occupy their barracks, from whence they were recently transferred. The people gave the mutineer a warm welcome and furnished them with ample provisions and supplies of straw, upon which the tired soldiers threw themselves after station ing their pickets and proclaiming their determination to defend their lives in the event of being attacked. The news of this momentous defection of troops, together with other mutinous eruptions at various points in the revolt ing provinces, reached the government this morning and caused the gravest con cern. Premier Clemenceau immediately sum moned a Cabinet meeting. At the Min istry of the Interior at noon Inquirers were informed that the reports from Narbonne and Montpellier showed that both places were comparatively quiet. It was announced that the government's watchwards are. "The law must reign." Interior Minister Brland Indignantly de nied the rumors that he has resigned. He said he was not such a coward as to desert his colleagues in the present circumstances. DEMONSTRATION AT FCXERAIi Victims of French Riots Buried With Most Imposing Ceremonies.

CANNOT FORMCLATE ADDRESS Czar's Opponents at Loss Bow to Reach People. ST. PETERSBURG. June 21. Although nearly a week has elapsed since the dis solution of the Douma, the parties op posed to the government still are ponder ing the terms in which they can most ef fectively address themselves to the coun try. Apparently as yet they have not got their bearings or summed up their chances for the coming elections. The Social Democrats, the Social Rev olutionist and the Group of Toll, who suffered most severely through the disso lution, probably will give up the idea of separate proclamations and favor uniting in a big joint manifesto. The draft of the manifesto prepared by the Social Revolutionists finds favor with the Social Democrats, and has been ac cepted by the group of toil. In substance, the manifesto sets forth that the Douma from the first championed the rights of the people against governmental absolut ism and strove in behalf of the working masses, through Its agrarian commission, for compulsory expropriation from the landlords' estate for the benefit of the peasants. This, It Is declared, was the real reason for the dissolution. The new so-called Douma, the manifesto says, will be composed of landlords and nobles, who are enemies of the common people. "Let the nation," It saym, "defend by force the honest popular representation em bodied by the ex-Douma." In this proclamation it was explained that the representatives of the Group of Toll in the ex-Douma at first hesitated to appeal to force, but finally concurred with the Constitutional Democrats to par ticipate in the radical conferences. They decided also not to issue manifestos and to refrain from high-pitched language, but instead to publish a sober account to the electorate of what the 6econd Douma tried to accomplish, and wherein It failed. The preparation of this document has been entrusted to Professor Paul Nlchol aievleh Milukoff, leader of the Constitu tional Democrats, who Is now directing it to the attention of the solid business classes, from whom support Is expected. Vassill Khvost, a Social revolutionary deputy, was arrested yesterday on his ar rival from Tchernigoff. CZAR SHOWS THE IRON HAND Provincial Governor Given Special Powers to Stop Disorders. ST. PETERSBURG, June 21. An im perial ukase has been issued to the Governors of the Province of Arch angle, Novgorod, Inetz, Paskov, Rya zan, Smolensk, Tver and Yaroslav, granting them special powers, empow ering them to suspend newspapers, disperse meetings, banish undesirable persons and take other measure for the maintenance of public security by administrative process, without having resort to the courts and to inflict pun. ishmenft up to three months imprison ment and $500 fine. These provinces include practically the entire area of Russia where some form of martial law has not already been proclaimed. The administrative powers of the governors correspond with those given under a state of "re inforced security." The step was' taken to head off agrarian disorders, the possibility of which It. is believed greatly increased the determination of the Social Democrats, Social Revolu tionists and members of the Group of Toil to issue a Joint manifesto to the Nation, urging the pepple not to ac cept the "aristocratic regime con templated by the new election law. But to defend the idea of popular representation before force." The decision to. issue the joint proc lamation was taken during the night, and the text Is now being drafted. WERE LOST FOR SEVEN TEARS Mysterious Checks Are Unearthed In Seattle Comptroller's Office. SEATTLE, Wash.. June 21. (Spe cial.) The musty, dust-covered pigeonholes of the City Comptroller's office gave up a treasure this morning In the shape of 12584, some of which has been lost for nearly seven years. Experts working on the city books came upon lost checks paid into the city aggregating the amount of money stated above. The experts reported the matter to City Treasurer George Russell, and asked for advice. Mr. Russell locked the checks up In his valuts at once, and will consult the proper city officials. He admitted that the finding of the checks is a complete mystery. The only man who might throw light on the subject Is Harry Carroll, and he is in the East. The checks do not appear to have been a part of the looting business carried on by John Ripllnger, for some of them are dated- prior to his term of office. FAVORS PDUTJGAL ACTION MINERS VOTE IN FAVOR OF INDUSTRIAL- UNION, Section Providing for Amalgamation With Industrial Workers of the World Laid on Table. DENVER, June 21. The convention of the Western Federation of Miners this afternoon adopted the first five sections of the proposed new preamble of the constitution and laid the sixth section on the table. This section is designed to make the Federation the mining department of the Industrial Workers of the World. The fifth sec tion of the preamble is considered to pledge the Federation to Socialism. It reads: "We hold that Industrial union and the concerted political action of all wage-workers is the only method of attaining this end," referring to the "emancipation" of the working classes. The new preamble Is still to be adopted as a whole, and will then go to a referendum vote before It Is finally incorporated In the constitution. Thomas Booher of Butte Union, No. 1, who yesterday afternoon spoke dis paragingly of the American Federation, today apologized for his remarks, say ing they were made in the heat of de bate and did not in any way express his feelings.

EXPRESS COAST OPINIONS Dr. Wheeler Enlightens New York ers on Japanese Menace. NEW YORK, June ZL President Ben jamin Ide Wheeler, of the University of California, who is In town, believes that the conditions on the Pacific Coast, inso far as the Oriental peoples are concerned are very grave and present to the resi dents a question that will not be easily solved. In an interview Dr. Wheeler said: "It is not a question whether the Chi nese or Japanese shall go to the same schools as the white children, .neither Is it a question whether some of the Japa nese have been assaulted or treated bad ly, but the question is one much broader In its scope. It is simply whether the people of the Pacific Coast shall become Inoculated with the Oriental Ideas and plans of procedure, or whether they shall remain on a truly Occidental basis. Shall or shall not the Pacific Coast states suf fer the same fate as Hawaii. Shall the states of the coast be overrun with Japa nese and finally feel the effects of their presence as it Is felt in the places where they are largely In evidence." DECLINE TO SERVE JAPANESE Seattle Restaurant Keeper Relents After Half-Hour Walt. SEATTLE, Wash.! June 21. (Special.)

"I forgive the woman." naively ex plained the Japanese author and news paper man," for I am sure she did not know what she was doing. If I thought it was Intentional I would expose her, but as It is, I shall forgive her. It re quired some time after she received my card for her to decide to accept me as a patron, but she finally relented." Strongly Backed in Japan. TOKIO.. June 21. While there is a unanimity of opinion here that Ambas sador Aoki is unfitted for bis post at Washington and it is certain that at tempts have been made to remove him, he has very powerful political support. Unless strong proof can be furnished that 'Ambassador Aoki is persona non grata at Washington, it is not likely that Viscount Hayashl will take the initiative in removing him from the position. There are rumors, however; to the effect that the Ambassador is very un popular, not only -7lth the Japanese, but among the Americans generally. Japanese as Mongolians. LOS ANGELES. CaL, June 21.

Moral of Japanese Watches. System Magazine. The Japanese have a well-formed habit of signing orders for American merchandise simply to oblige the sales man, and that it Is a common practice to refuse to accept the goods on deliv ery. No Jap will be so impolite as to say "No" to a stranger who enters his home. When a Jap smiles you may know that he Is angry and that you had better leave him alone; but when he draws his breath with a- hissing sound through his teeth you may feel sure you have convinced him. When American dollar watches first came into Japan and China a big demand was Instantly created. The Japs took one of the watches to pieces, ran up a factory and cut the price in two. More over, they put the Chinese and Japa nese figures on the face. American manufacturers did not want to bother to do this, but when the Jap did It they had to follow suit- Then the Japs em bossed the Chinese and Japanese "good luck" signs on the backs of the watches, and that left them supreme In the field. The Japanese understand the knack of giving their customers what they Want and they are shrewder In many ways than their Yankee com petitors give them credit for being. Cabrera In Good Health.
