WILL PUT CHECK
ON EMIGRATION
Japan Proposes to Restrict
Number of Laborers Who
Head for America.
HEARS FROM CALIFORNIA
Feeling for Exclusion Directed
Against Undesirables, California
Being Anxious to Secure Hon
est Japanese Laborers.
TOKIO. Oct. 27. (6:30 P. M.) A delft
gate from the Japanese residents of San
Francisco Interviewed Foreign Minister
Hayashi today and fully explained condi
tions In that city relative to the prejudice
existing against Japanese. He pointed
out that the feeling for . exclusion was
directed against the undesirable ' immi
grants alone, and that American employ
ers welcomed honest Japanese laborers.
He requested on behalf of his compatriots
that the Foreign Office permit the emi
gration of 800 honest emigrants monthly
through Seattle and San Francisco.
Minister Hayashi replied that at present
It was advisable to limit emigration to
half that number. He further assured
the delegate that everything will be done
to protect Japanese In this, and at the
' same time emphasized the importance
of stopping anything calculated to Injure
the traditional friendship of both coun
tries. The Government" would hereafter,
he said, supervise the kind of emigrants
allowed to go out.
When questioned If measures had been
taken to secure the right of naturaliza
tion for Japanese, Minister Hayashi re
plied that as a Minister of his Majesty's
Government, he will never encourage the
alienating of his subjects, but' will insist
on securing for Japanese rights equal to
those granted subjects of other powers.
Minister Hayashi continuing, said that
he hoped that after the return of M.
Ishil, the Commissioner sent to America
to Investigate the subjects and the re
ceipt of his report definite steps would
be taken to find a solution in an amicable
and satisfactory manner.
A EULOGY OF THE BULL
That Xoble Anlmerrs Descent His--torlcally
Considered.
MILTON. Or.. Oct. 23 (To the Editor.)
The Oresonlan's editorial 'concerning- the
bull has given the public a hlsher esti
mate of that noble animal.
I open my Bible and And these words:
"Jacob took ten bulls for a present."
"Bulla have compassed me." "Strong bulls
of Bashan." "Will I eat the flesh of bulls?"
"Ye bellow aa bulla." "If blood of bulla aanc
tineth." and "Blood of bulla." When we
think of the eagle, our National bird, except
on Thanksgiving day, we bring to mind the
nobler qualities of the bird, and aee ability
to aoar, to carry and to endure. We shut
our eyes to the talons or clawa of the bird
of prey. So as to the bull. We recognize
mawlve' strength, movement of foot, and
lmpreaalvenesa of voice, and even Beauty
of figure. What would a county fair be
without Its bulls, attractive to all present T
When Bishop Taylor went to Africa to
Christianise and civilize Its dark aona ana
daughters, he took Bibles and also well-selected
bulla, across the sea. J know of a
person who had his Inherited nam "Bull
changed to another name, but the mother
country la not ashamed of "John Bull."
Another good strong word Is "Ram." If wo
drop "Bull" from "Bull Run." why not
hare the next be.t, namely "Ram Run" T
But should the change be made, all the
strong bulla of the Pacific coast will en
compass us and bellow with rage. Meek
Jersey cows would become -violent over a
wrong done to their honored sires. Rooster
would sharpen their spurs; boars would in
crease in number their bristles: rams would
harden their forehead., and stallions would
become more fiery, to resent, an Indignity
wrought upon their sex through the delib
erate action of prudes.

PARTIES IN NEXT DOUMA
Results of Russian Elections Show
Large Conservative Majority.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 27 The re
sults of the final elections held today In
the greater part of European Russia, the
Caucasus and Asiatic Russia, show the
strongly conservative nature of the third
Douma which has been predicted since
the promulgation of the new election law.
For the first time in Russia's parllamen
tary history, the constitutional Demo
crats and the members of the Left are
confronted by an overwhelming majority
of Reactionaries, Conservatives and Mod
erate Constitutionalists, who support the
government programme of reform. Dur
ing tne day 206 deputies were chosen, of
wham 90 were Conservative, 71 members
of the Moderate Constitutional party, in
cluding 60 October 1st a, one peaceful Re
generations and Constitutional Demo
crat, six Mussulmans, six Social Demo
crats and 17 Extreme Leftists, .including
two avewed Revolutionists. 1
The elections were unfinished and 124
deputies remain to be chosen tomorrow.
These will be about the same proportion,
and as the entire Douma numbers only
442 members, a conservative rnajorlty is
thereby assured. .

PACKAGES II RURAL MILS
FOSTMASTER-GEXERAL makes
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Rate of Five and Two Cents a
Pound With Maximum of
Eleven Pounds.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa.. Oct.- 27. Postmaster-General
George von I. Meyer, at
a dinner at the Union League Club last
night, made an address in which he
called attention to recommendations
which he pnrposes making in his annual
report for the consideration of the next
Congress. ' On the question of parcels
post, he said:
"I Bhall recommend the same rate, 12
cents a pound, and the same Kmlt of
weight for parcels, whether intended for
points in this country or abroad, which
means a reduction of four cents a pound
and Increase jn the maximum weight to
eleven pounds."
Taking up the rural parcels post (jues
tlon, he said:
"I shall recommend a parcels post
system ort the rural delivery routes, a
special rata to be charged on packages
for delivery from the distributing offices
of the rural route, or if mailed by a pat
ron of atly rural route for delivery to a
patron on the same route or at the dis
tributing office of said route. The rate
would be five cents for th first pound
and two cents for each additional pound,
up to eleven pounds. This would be a
great boon for the farmers."
Regarding postal savings banks, the
Postmaster-General said:-
"As an evidence that it is not the de
sire of the government to compete with
the private savings banks in obtaining
deposits of the people, I shall advocate
a rate of interest of 2 per cent per an
num, or 1 pi cent semi-annually and a
limit of $5ft), not more than $250 to be
deposited in any one year. My own be
lief Is that far from its being a detri
ment to the established banks. It would
be in the end an advantage. Now, in
order to get this money, back into the
channels of trade, I purpose to ask Con
gress for authority to place the savings
in the National banks.''
SENATOR BOURNE'S PRIZE
Where He Stands With the President
and With Oregon Republicans.
New York World.
Senator Bourne, of Oregon, offers a
prize of $1000 for the best essay demons
trating three assertions which in brief
follow: .
1. That the people and not Mr. Room.
volt will decide who ehall be hla successor.
2. That Mr. Rooaevelt cannot decline a
"second elective term" or name hla succes
sor without making hla own wlahea para
mount to the will of the party and the
Nation.
8. That Mr. Roosevelt's "boneaty, cour
age. Initiative. Imagination, versatility"
have gained the confidence of the people;
thata as president he has made good; that
business Interests would suffer from tha
election of any other man. and that "bar
ring death or serious illness President
Roosevelt must and will be aeleoted and
elected for a second elective term."
Senator Bourne's desperate efforts to
get further forward in the line as an
"original Roosevelt man" are amusing or
pathetic, according to the point of view.
They are also instrnctlve.
Mr. Bourne was the putative host of
that alleged $5,000,000 "conspiracy" dinner
the dinner at which Senator Penrose
was said to have been in a communicative
mood. Now, whether Mr. Bourne or Mr.
Penrose or the five millions or anybody
or anything in the story did really play
the part attributed to him or it, made no
difference In the result: which was that
every conspirator who was in publio life
began to hear from his sonetltuents at
once, and presently the whole band, bat
tered, .shivering and dishevelled, with
clothing torn and ashes In their hair, were
gathered at the back door of the White
House in the cold gray dawn, pleading to
be let in and permitted to renew the oath
of allegiance.
Mr. Bourne has since then been dis
tinguished even among the adepts by the
length, breadth, depth and fervor of his
devotion to the Roosevelt cause. Has he
reasoned that it is better to risk even the
President's moral displeasure by refusing
to accept his pledge not to run again than
it would be to brave the anger of Oregon
Republicans if he failed to convince the- t
that he is a first, lastand all-the-tlme
Roosevelttan?
Fumigate Puget Sound Ships.
SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 27. Dr. M. J.
White, of the United States Marine
Hospital Service, has received a wire
from Surgeon-General Wyman at
Washington authorizing Dr. White to
carry out bis recommendation that all
vessels on the Sound be fumigated at
once. Thie applies to ferryboats and
every vessel large e'nough to hold a rat.
The State Board of Health met and
notified all the County Boards of
Health. to take stringent measures to
clean up their districts and keep a
vigilant watch for suspicious cases. No
new. occurrences of bubonic t plague
developed in Seattle today.
STRIKE NEARS END
Telegraphers Resume Picket
ing as a Last Resort.
FEAR MEN WILL GO BACK
Rumors of Stampede Arouse Chi
cago Union Officials Who' Re
ceive Lukewarm Support In
(Call for Volunteer Pickets.
CHICAGO. Oct. 27. (Special.) Pick
eting will be resumed tomorrow morn
ing' by the striking telegraphers. This
adjunct of the strike was abandoned
the first w,eek of the strike, with the
result that there has been no violence,
but It ie said desertions are becoming
so common that some vigorous move
must be made to check them.
At the meeting today. Chairman
Likes called for 50 volunteers to picket
the telegraph- offices. Less than a doz
en hands went up, and it was then de
cided to make all the strikers, men
and women, pickets, and have them
maintain a watch on the offices day
and night.
About 50 flrst-claes men have re
turned to work hers, and others have'
gone to outside cities, where they are
working, in some cases, under as
sumed names. -Rumors have been
prevalent that there would be a stam
pede back to the offices tomorrow,
hence the plan of picketing.
Meanwhile the telegraph companies
announce that they will open their
branch offices in this city tomorrow,
and that messages would be accepted
without the "subject to delay" clause.
Superintendent Cook said that under
no circumstances would the company
treat with the committee appointed at
the Milwaukee meeting. In view of
this, the committee, which hastened
direct to New York from Milwaukee,
will be unable to confer with the
Western Union people, at least, and it
is supposed the Postal takes the same
attitude.
It is felt here that the picketing order
le the last desperate stand, for there
doea not seem another move left on the
board. If It results in disorder and
rioting, it will probably mean the
speedy ending of the strike.
MEN GOING BACK TO THE KEYS
Birmingham Offices Will Receive
Telegraphers as Individuals.
BIRMINGHAM. Ala., Oct. 27. It was
announced tonight that a large major
ity of the telegraphers who have been
on strike in Birmingham since August
11 will resume work tomorrow. They
will go back . to both the Western
Union and the Postal Companies under
practically the same conditions they
were working under when called out.
Local managers of the companies state
that -the men will be re-employed as in
dividuals. About 100 men walked out
al the time of the strike.
IMPROVE MARE ISLAND
Works of Extension Planned to Cost
Several Million Dollars.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 27. (Special.)
Representative Joseph R. Knowland
visited Mare Island Navy Yard today
and had an extended conference with
Commandant Phelps and Civil Engi
neer Rockwell. , Plans ana estimates
were given Knowland for the improve
ments desired at Mare Island, which
call for the expenditure of several mil
lion dollars to make this -station the
finest naval establishment, in the
world.
The spur dikes, which were designed
by H. H. Roaseau, now of the Panama
Canal Commission, and Jiave proved
such a success in deepening the chan
nel to the yard, will be greatly ex
tended at a cost of several hundred
thousand dollars. The stone quay wall,
to which vessels under repair are tied,
will also be extended about a mile
southward toward the magazine. At
present the quay wall Is so crowded
that many of the ships have to lie In
midstream or at a point below the
lighthouse.
Active preliminary steps are. to be taken
also-with Knowland'a aid for the con
struction of a third drydock at the Navy
Yard. There is at present one small con
crete dock and another gret dock Is
nearly half completed, but a third is of
vital necessity.
Rear-Admiral Richard Hollyday, head
of the Yards and Docks Department, who
was formerly on duty at the station and
has always been a friend of Mare Island,
is now en route from Washington to in
spect the Navy ard here and at Brem
erton. When he arrives, he will be ban
queted and shown the necessity of a third
dock.
BULL RUN TO MULTNOMAH
i
Young City Can Change Name Like
a Young Maid, Says Mr. Minto.
SAI.BM. Or., Oct. 28. (To the Editor.)
This Is an open letter to the Chairman of the
Initiative One Hundred: Sympathizing with
your trouble In regard to a better name for
the crystal stream from which Portland re
ceives its water supply, it seems to me that
the name now obnoxious to many had no con
nection with lost bovlnea, but very probably
was given by one defeated In his first battle
with life possibly having Ita beginning on
that fax-oft stream la Virginia, and ending
In a lodge In the vast wilderness and bound
less shads on the banka of the stream that
had been aforetime the true Multnomah.
The writer knew ona fine fellow, either bora
In Oregon or Virginia, who, suffering a bull
run defeat in bis first battle, lost the In
heritance his parent left him as pioneer dona
tion land, retired to a homestead In the woods
between Qreaham and Caaadera, and Is doing
better In his second fight.
The northwest corner of the dominion of
Clackamas tribe la about a mile south of
the stream carrying the tribal name. The
northeast comer of the Molsilaa dominion
waa at the outflow of the. same little
stream, following the east bank of the Wil
lamette to and Including the Molalla river.
The Henahlsk was called "Pudden river" by
the killing of an elk. and because a French
hunter and family feasted on the animal
killed. The aub-trlbe of Hensnjnks was ex
tinguishes, by the demise of Bylnntby at
Balem, due to two many dinners on a big
Sunday (Christmas Day).
The next stream aouth of Chemeketa was
made Mill Creek by the Methodist Episcopal
missionaries. One of these latter acted as
friendly advisor to Joseph Hudson, the last
lineal chief of Callpooya, who signed away the
plain lands of the east bank of the Willam
ette, from Champoeg to the Callpooya Moun
tains, to the United States, hla wife. Mar
garet, signing tha treaty conveying the title
to the west slopes of the Cascade range; as
the last living member of tha family of
Cousta. Chief of the Molallaa.
According to Chief Joe, the "San de Am"
was BO named by a party of Northwesters
who crossed and recrossed that river in the
canoea of his grandfather "San de Am" (made
"Santlam" by white use) about 1818. There
were eight of the whites, carrying heavy
packs on foot. They returned with horses, the
first seen by natives In the Willamette Val
ley. Of coarse, these streams mentioned, and the
Tualton, Yam-II and Lucklmlute. were given
the names of tribes or sub-tribes found on
them,' and the name of the Multnomah was
lost In the Juggle and change of a falling.
race naturally drifting to easy food supply,
which In 1806 eemed to Lewis tt Clark
within a radlua of 20 miles around the mouth
of the Willamette a name aa hard to find
the orlgld of now as to find out whether
Bull . Run was named by some man who .had
lost the first battle of his life, as I believe, or
had merely lost his cows. The question,
however. Is not Important now. We have tha
right to change the name appropriate to the
stream (only to Portland folks second In
Importance to the Willamette), a name fit for
sorg or story.
I move that the name be changed to "Mult
nomah." A young city has aa good right to
change lta name as a young maid.
JOHX MINTO.
HUKE EVAHS YICE-JtDBIIRJtL
PRESIDENT PROPOSES NEW
RANK FOR COMMANDER.
Exchanges of Courtesies With For
eign Powers Makes Promotion
Obligatory for Dignity's Sake.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-The great bat
tleship fleet which is to make its way
from the Atlantic to the Pacific will
probably be commanded by a Vice-Admiral'
and that officer is now Rear-Admiral
Robley D. Evans. Of course this is con
ditional upon Congress giving its sanction
to the proposal that will be made by the
President to establish this new rank in
the Navy. Conditions now are believed
to be more favorable than ever before for
this project.
Rear-Admiral Evans is going to sail in
command of the most powerful fleet that
ever gathered under the American flag.
Not only that, he commands more bat
tleships of modern type than any other
naval officer in the world, and the only
country whose blue pennant floats over
a more numerous fleet of all kinds of
warships is Lord Charles Beresford, and
he is of greater rank than a Vice-Admiral,
being an Admiral, like Dewey.
On this cruise the American fleet is "to
touch at many foreign ports and is to
exchange courtesies with foreign fleets in
several places in Brazil, Chile, Argentine
arid other countries. The American Com
mander, supposing he is to retain his
present title of Rear-Admiral, would be
outranked, for the navies of all these
countries contain officers of the grade
of Vice-Admlral, which would make the
American Commander's position humiliat
ing. It would be pointed out in Admiral
Evans" case that not only is he by his
remarkable service entitled to this - ad
vancement, but any objections to the
creation of this new grade that might be
broached In Congress might be overcome
by pointing to the fact that as Admiral
Evans retires next August, the office will
be of short duration.
STANDS FOR BROAD POLICY
Rivers and Harbors Committee Will
Urge Use of More Public Money.
CINCINNATI, Oct, 27. The official
call for the meeting of the National
Rivers -and Harbors Congress has been
sent out by President Ransdell. of
Louisiana, and Secretary Ellison, of
this city. The congress will assemble
at the new Willard in Washington on
December 4. The call is specific in its
declaration that no special projects
for river or harbor improvement will
be considered. It will stand for a
broad policy by the National Govern
ment for all Improvements recommend
ed by the Board of Engineers of the
Army to the Congress of the United
States. It is the- design and purpose
of the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress to demand that a more liberal
proportion of the revenues of the Gov
ernment derived from commerce shall
be expended in expanding in National
channels of trade and transportation,
the amount heretofore appropriated for
such improvements having been about
3 per cent.
DEVELOPS NEW GRAPE
California Scientist Believes He Has
Variety Surpassing the Tokay.
STOCKTON, Cal.. Oct. 27. (Special.)
An entirely new kind of grape is being
developed at the Government experiment
al station near Lodl, and Professor H. C.
Husmann is of the opinion that it will
result in a grape that will excel the
famous Flame Tokay, which has given
Lodl so much fame. The- new variety is
somewhat similar to the Tokay In texture
and color, but is Impervious to the rain,
is much firmer and can be shipped longer
distances without damage. It appears
to be a cross between a Tokay and
Farerra and is of an improved flavor. If
properly developed it is expected to be
come a most profitable variety.
Professor Husmann is due to arrive
in. Lodl next week and he Intends to
set out about thirty varieties of grapes,
five different kinds of each variety,
for experimental - purposes." Already
130 varieties of gTapes are being
grown at the station,- and It is be
lieved that the vineyard will receive
great benefits from the experiments
being made at the station. Additional
apparatus is to be Installed at the.
plant in the way of thermometers and
records of temperatures will be made
so as to make" comparisons with grape
growing points in France, Spain, Italy
and South Africa.

Tuberculosis In Japan.'
Kansas City Star.
The theory that the germs of tubercu

through the medium of cow's milk is
discounted in Japan, where such milk is
practically unknown, while the mortality
from tuberculosis is, nevertheless, very
great, being in Tokio about one-fifth of

OREGON CITT, Or., Oct. 2". (Spe
cial.) The .approaching municipal
election in Oregon City is already de
veloping much feeling among the vot
ers, and will be one of the hottest the
ctty has ever had. The question of can
didates has been nearly lost sight of in
the fight on the proposed excise rdl
nance, introduced by initiative petition,
to come before the voters for their ap
proval or rejection at the election early
in December.
The new charter amendments will
alao be bitterly antagonized, and it is
apparent that the whole list of amend
ments will be slaughtered, for some of
them are not even satisfactory to the
men who were members of the com
mittee that framed them. It is under
stood that a movement was made to
frame charter amendments that would
have a tendency to centralize the gov
ernment of the city, to have a less
number of Councilmen, and to elect the
Mayor for a two-year term. These
measures were voted down in com
mittee, however, and as a consequence,
the charter amendments are no im
provement upon the present charter.
Main Fight Over Excise Law.
It is over the excise ordinance, how
ever, that the fiercest fight will be
made, and with election day six weeks
distant, the question of a new law for
the control of the liquor business is
dividing the city into factions.
It is altogether new for the women
of this city to take a hand in municipal
affairs, but so far they are the leading
factors, and have already organized to
plan a campaign with the purpose of
bringing about the enactment of the
ordinance. The mass meeting several
days ago was attended by nearly 100
people, most of them women, and they
proceeded to elect officers and commit
teemen from six of the leading Protest
ant churches of the city.
Men in the churches and out of them
are backing them up strongly, and are
prepared to furnish the sinews for the
campaign. J
Saloon Men Thus Far Quiet.
Meetings will be held, advertising
matter will be circulated, and other
popular measures will be adopted, ao
that the voters will not be permitted to
remain In ignorance of the provisions
of the law.
If the saloon interests have gone into
action in their own defense and against
tha ordinance, they have done so very
quietly, and have made no mention of
their plans. It is not supposed, how

ordinance that is almost murderous to

test. It Is too early to predict Just what
is the sentiment of the mass of the
voters on the proposition, and the
movements of the campaigners are be
ing closely observed, and the fight will
wage fast and furious until the close
of the poll.
