Mlae-I.aden Steamers Takes.
A small detachment of pioneers, in
eo-operation with the customs officers
yesterday, captured two Servian steam
ers laden with ammunition and mines.
The pioneers and revenue guards, after
a sharp encounter, overcame the ijer

vessels and their dangerous cargoes.
The captured ships were towed away
by one of the Danube steamers.
Emperor Francis Joseph will return
to Vienna from Ischl tomorrow and

Popular enthusiasm Is growing since
the Emperor's manifesto and patriotic
demonstrations are being held all over
the country. Runs on the savings

VI ar spirit Grow In Istraalty.
The war spirit in the Austrian capi
tal is hourly Increasing. The streets of
Vienna tonight were so crowded with
enthusiastic persons, singing and pa
rading, that traffic in the leading
inoroug.T tares was almost brought to
a standstill. The patriotic demonstra

fervor anything witneaaed within
memory.

SALEM. Or., July 29. (Special.)
"Why did it cost more to ride in a
Pullman chair car when I was ac
companled by my mother-in-law than
it did when I was accompanied by my
wife?"
This question was put to the State
Railroad Commission today. The com
plaint says the charge f jr himself and
wife from Eugene to Medford was tl.75
and for himself and his mother-in-law
$2.10.
When accompanied by his wife they
were considered as one party. When
accompanied by his mother-in-law the
i harge evidently was for two parties.
The Commission held the railroad
should have charged only the one-party
tariff and will order a refund.

When the official announcement of
he Imperial and Royal Consulate of
ustrla-Hungary was received In Port
land yesterday instructing Austrian
ubject to mllltnry duty to prepare for
ummons to return to Ihelr horns coun
try, a lively contention was precipitat
ed among Austrlans, Servians and Sla
vonians as to how general a rssponss
the prospective summons would rscslrs
In Portland.
The government announcement was
addressed to the local law firm of
Woerndle Haas, legal representatives
of the Consulate at fan Francisco. It
was accompanied by a letetr from Karl
de Ruls, Acting Consul of Austria
Hungary, with the request that the
notification bn given publicity.
Call Made Before War.
While the preliminary summons will
not be released anywhere in the United
States until today, the official papsrs
bear the date of Monday, July 37. Sines
war was not formally declared until
the following day. July 21, the papsrs
reveal the fact that Austria has care
fully and definitely laid Its plans for a
war campaign long In advance of ths
actual declaration of war. Local au
thorities believe that the announce
ment came to the United States by
mall, thus Insuring an absolute secrecy
that would not have been possible had
the instructions been Hashed over ths
cables.
"This explains why ths Austrian gov
ernment refused to accept arbitration
on the ground that It had already gons
too far in making arrangements." said
C. T. Haas yesterday.
Pardon Offrrrd Deserters.
That the Austrian government Is
convinced that the Servians will enlist
the support of other nations is further
demonstrated by the promise glvan In
the summons that all dssertsrs who
immediately return to Austria prepared
for war will he pardoned for ths of
fense they have committed against ths
government, and will not bs placsd In
prison.
The paragraph reads: "Amnesty has
been granted all those having failed
to comply with their military duty and
to deserters who upon summons, or of
their own volition. Immediately return
to tnoir native country."
The announcement prescribes that
traveling expenses will be reimbursed
to those called Into ssrvlcs snd thst
traveling expenses will be extsnded in
advance by the nearest consulats to
those who are not financially sbls to
pay their own way home.
Anstrians Await orders.
Local Austrlans yesterday Interpreted
the notification to mean that they
should hold themselves in Immsdlsto
readiness to leave for horns st any
moment, probably within two or throe
days.
There are about 1(00 Austrlans In
Portland yet liable to military ssrvlcs
In their home country. Of this num
ber, It is believed that only 100 or S00,
In the lowest ranks of the servlcs.
would be Included in the first summons.
