A great im provement has been made by the troops here In their two days o drill -work, and the drees parade this evening -was excel lent In every detail. The regular routine work -was carried out during the day, and in the evening a large crowd witnessed the review whoa, the brigade was in charge of General Beebe, and the troops were reviewed by Mayor "Williams, of Portland. The dress parade was reviewed by Colonel Everett. The colors of the Third Regiment were used, and the Third Regiment band furnished excellent music. Owing to tho hard work of drilling, the boys have not been In a very lively mood of evenings, and there has been little of the usual prank-playing and rule-breaking that generally characterize the week in camp. First Lieutenant H. E. Mitchell, of the Twenty-sixth battery field artillery, from Vancouver, arrived in camp today, and reported that the Vancouver troops were on the road between here and Salem, and that they expected to be here by tomor row at 10 o'clock. The social event of the encampment was a reception tendered the officers by the members of the Alco Club, Albany's lead ing social and commercial institution, to night. The elegant rooms of the club were prettily decorated for the occasion, the appointments being of a tasty order. All the principal officers attending the encampment were present, prominent among them being General Beebe, who assisted in receiving, General Summers, General Gantenbeln, Colonel Jackson, Colonel Spencnr, Colonel Everett, Colo lie! Torah, -and Mayor Williams. Major Ellis and Captain W4nD--epresented the club in receiving the large number of guests present, who were fortunate in the privilege of meeting tho efficient corps of officers in charge of the encampment. The reception was of an Informal charac ter, entirely of a social nature. Refresh ments were served by the wives of the members of the club. A dance was given by tho Albany peo ple for the soldiers last night, and many of them showed evidence of a late night this morning as they reported for their work. Some had thrilling stories to iell about how they managed to get back into camp after tho dance, and some four or Ave are in the guardhouse as the reult ot their conduct. How severe their sentence will be w ill not be known until after their trial is over. The two unfortunate ones that fired oft the blank cartridges on their first day in camp have been sentenced to hard work for the remainder of the en campment, and the officers do not feel disposed to be lenient with tho rule breakers. dent of the Day. The event of the day was the review by Mayor "Williams. A large and appre ciative crowd had gathered to witness the drill, and did not hesitate to express its appreciation, as each order was well exe cuted. Mayor "Williams arrived on tho noon train from Portland, and was met at the train by General Beobe and escorted to the grounds, w here he spent the afternoon looking over the camp. At about C o'clock the brigade was brought Into the field under charge of General Beebe and formed into a line of masses, with the regiments 00 paces apart. The distances -were calculated with a re markable accuracy, and it was a fine sight as the soldiers stood, precisely in their positions and every man on his met tle to make his regiment show up at its best General Beebe took his position 20 paces in front of the center of the line of Colonels, and Mayor "Williams, review officer, approached within 30 paces. Gen eral Beebe then gave the orders, "Carry arms," and "Present arms," which were well executed by tho brigade; then faced to the front and gave the salute. After the review officer returned the ealute, General Beebo faced about and ordered, "Carry arms," "Order arms," and re turned his sword and Joined the review ing officer. Major "Williams, accompanied by his staff, and the brigade commander and his staff, then proceeded to the right of the brigade, passing In front of the Colonel of the first regiment to the right of the line; thence around the brigade, passing to the left in rear of the Majors, and to the right in rear of the file-closers, while the Colonels remained at their posts facing the front. As the reviewing officer left the right of the line. General Beebe re turned to his post by a short cut, and gave the order, "Battalions," "Change direction by the left flank, march," and there was not a break In the' line as the orders were executed. "Pass in review," "Take full distance," "Guide right, march," came the orders, loud and clear, and the column moved oft as in regimental review as the band struck up a lively air. The officers then took their positions, and as the Jast battalion passed the reviewing officer and the review was over, cheer after cheer went up for the boys and their efficient work. On Dress Parade. Directly following the review was the dress parade, which was reviewed by Colo nel Everett. Music was furnished b-- the regimental band. Tho band has been do ing much practicing, and the music was good. Colonel Everett has done hard work during the stay here, and his regiment did itself proud in the parade. The Vancouver company which will ar rive tomorrow, is composed of 124 men, 120 horses and mules, six guns, and three army wagons, and has been making 31 miles a day so far on its march. Lieu tenant Mitchell came ahead today to pre pare camp, and everything will be ready by tomorrow. He says that the men are having a pleasant trip, but that the dust BKgKBKBmjnKmKm$zJBSw!& g-2 "" $ "fSsF?? . " is vers bad, and that some of them are very tired. The big day of tho encampment will be tomorrow, when several thousand people are expected In Albany on the numerous excursions that will be run on that day. In the morning, Rev. E. P. Hill, of Port land, will conduct services in Hackelman's groye. and the review and dress parade will be given early in order to give the excursionists a chance to see the drills. Camp Xotcs. The Oregon City company has Borne good musicians along, and their leisure time is spent playing and singing. Every one speaks in praise of the com missary department and the efficient way in which It is being conducted. Charley Griffin, of Company C, of Eu gene, is in a very bad condition with a severe attack of rheumatism. Albany boyo are digging up all of the old clothes that they can find that have brass buttons on, as their sweethearts will not look at any one without this mark of distinction until the soldier Doys are gone. Visitors who are not so thoroughly im bued with patriotism as the bos In the camp do not like to respond to the order from the guards to salute the colors, but none are auowcu 10 pass uniu meir uua.ua are bared in respect to the emblem. ThInteen-hU3dred men eat -nhnut 1300 pounds oCbgBf a day, and the Albany sup ply Is not fnexhaustlblc, so many of the people of the city had to resort to other meats, and somo of them declare that they cannot get enougn to eat till the brigade Is gone.

By command of Brigadier-General Beebe. GEORGE T. "WILLETT, Assistant Adjutant-General. Attacked by Japanese. WASHINGTON. July 19. An. account has reached here ot the details of an as sault committed on some Methodist mis sionaries in Corea by Japanese coolies about the 15th of last month. As Bishop Moore, of the M. E. Church, was en route to the town of Soowonto to dedicate a church, his party was attacked by Japan ese coolies who were building the rail road from Seoul to Fusan. "With the bish op were his young daughter and Meters. Appenseller and Swearer, and all of tho party suffered. The bishop's pith helmet saved his skull from a crushing- blow. Appenzeller was struck down by a blow from a club and Swearer, the other mls sldnary, was struck with a piece of cord wood, which gashed his head across the forehead to the bone and may have per manently injured one eye. The Japanese Minister at Seoul immedi ately put In motion all the machinery at his command to secure the capture anu punishment of the assailants. It does not appear that any racial feeling caused the attack. Protest Agrainst Russia's Cruelty. NEW YORK. July 19. At a largely at tended meeting held at Cooper Union ot Russians and Poles, presided over by Isaac A. Hourwlch. of "Washington, D. C. resolutions were adopted "protesting against the atrocities perpetratod by the Russian Government against the cham pions of political freedom and democratic institutions In Russia and against the brutal flogging of defenseless men and rt-omen."

CHICAGO, July 19. In a very excited session of the Board of Trade today, oats told at (3 cents, the highest price here since 1S74 for that cereal. Tho cause of the rocket flight, which was a gain of 15 cents In threo days, and of 7-Ji cents to day, was the fear of "shorts" In July options that they might not be able to se cure oats with which to fill their con tracts. Back of this cause lay that of oat fields, yellow for the harvest, but devastated by the heavy rains of tho la6t few days. Yesterday trad.o in oats on ,the local exchange was very much ex cited. Today It almost reached a panic. From the first "tap of the starting gong terror filled the hearts of the bears in the oat pit. Reports during the latter end of Juno and early July Indicated excellent har vests of oats. Shorts, who had been pinched a little early in July options, de termined to hang out for a reaction whon good weather arrived. Stocks of old oats became rapidly depleted under a constant good cash demand. Mayor James Pat ten, of Evanston,,had cornered May oats and had dono sq so successfully that there was no "corpse" of big cash supplies to bury. When the heavy rains continued, receipts of ncwSrtandard oats which must be delivered on new July contracts wero almost nil. Today only 81 cars of all kinds of oats arrived, and only 2S cars wero of contract grade. Shorts bid for what little stuff there was offered. The bulla believed prices would go still higher, and chief of these bulls was Mayor Pat ten, who is supposed to have a tight hold on nearly 2,000.000 bushels of new July. ' Most of this supply o'f short contracts was bought around 26 cents. The crowd fig ures that only profits are possible to the bull clique. July new opened 2&C hlghor than last night's close, at 60c There was some haggling for a short time, and then in Jumps of 1 or 2 cents at a time the price bounded to 65c Here and there longs liquidated (or good profits, but the close was ery strong and congested, 7Jic gain for July for the .day, at 64c Gets Steel Trust Tube Plant. 'PITTSBURG, July 19. The United States Steel Corporation baa accepted the offer of the citizens' committee of McKecsport, and will build Its $10,000,000 tube plant In that city. The slto covers a total area of 15 blocks. This announce ment Qf the Steel Corporation Is taken as an indication that the scheme to build a big tube plant at Conncaut has been abandoned. It Is probable, however, that the proposed works at Loralne, 0.v will be built at a cost of about (10.000.000, and that all of the tube plants of the big steel corporation will be concentrated at Mc Keesport and Loralne. AMERICAN PACIFIC CABLE Contract Let in London for Honolulu-Manila. Section. LONDON, July 19.Tho Commercial Pa cific Cable Company signed a contract .with the Telegraph Construction Com pany In London this week for the manu facture and laying of Its cable from Hono lulu to Manila, touching at Guam. The construction company guaranteed'to'com-' plete the cable by June. 1903, If furnished with thp necessary soundings. In, the event that these cannot be furnished the company agrees to finish the cable laying "within such time thereafter as' Is neces sary to take the soundings. Having two steamers capable of carry ing COOO miles of cable, the company is able to complete within a year work which "would tako other contractors two years to do. The steamer Sllverton, at Woolwich, is now loading the San Fran-.clsco-HonoluIu cable, 2400 miles, and Is expected to sail for San Francisco in August. Eighteen hundred miles of this section have., already been manufactured and are being taken on board the Silver ton. "Why He Hanged Himself. CHICAGO. July 19. In a room on the second floor of 3S0 West Adams street, the body of n man was found lnt nitrht in an advanced stage of decomposition. It had had lain there two days and a rope around the neck with one end tied to the knob of a closet door showed that the man had hanged hhnself by throwing the rope over the door. A note was found, addressed: "My brother, J... J. .Wise, 240 Third street. Philadelphia." On the back of a photograph of an at tractive looking woman was written: "You will And her (my wife) in Webbs vllle, Mass., with a man named Finch, and she will never prosper for what she has done." The, body was sent to the County Morgue. Money for Colleges. CHICAGO. July 19. James F. Robinson, late president of the Rock Island National Bank and Central Trust & Savings Bank of Rock Island, 111., left part ot his for tune to Northwestern University in his will, which has Just been probated. Mr. Robinson was a graduate and a trustee of Northwestern University. The estate left by him Is estimated at $l,CO0.000. Just w hat part of this sum the- Northwestern will receive Is not stated, but it probably will be about JiOO.O). The American University at Washing ton, D. C. also is left a considerable amount of property. ,--.,-., , NOTSTRONG ENOUGH Many Conservatives Dissatis fied With Balfour. THEY-PREFER CHAMBERLAIN Feor.HejTVIH Kot Resist Emperor "William's Efforts to "Entangle Great Britain i an . AUlauce. LONDON, July 19. Cabinet-making is tho absorbing subject of discussion here. During the week the public was regaled with more or less shrewd prophecies, but no lntlma'tions were given out by the in ner circle of the Intentions of the Pre mier, A. J. Balfour, regarding he succes sors of the Ministers who have already re signed, or as to how far tho changes In the Ministry may bo expected to extend. It Is -undeniable that a very large sec tion of the Conservatives and Liberal Unionists are strongly dissatisfied with the Ministry as at present constituted, and It is Increasingly apparent that In spite of all the Parliamentary eulogies of Mr. Balfour, many Unionists believe that a government of greater strength and ca pacity could have been established with Joseph Chamberlain, the Colonial Secre tary, as leader. The opinion Is freely ex pressed on all sides by Unionists. a3 well as by Liberals, that the Interests of the empire ire now so complicated that they are sorely in need ot the oversight of a man ot broader and more forceful powers. The appointment of Mr. Chamberlain-to the Premiership would have been received with cold disfavor by the opposition, and would have been a red rag to the Anglo phobes, but nevertheless there is a multi tude of government supporters who would be glad to have him as chief, and the As sociated Press is Informed from sources of undoubted authenticity that Mr. Cham berlain's claim to the Premiership would have been recognized as being better than Mr. Balfour's had he not, whenever occa sion presented itself, urged Mr. Balfour's succession against his own. One important and strong point of the late administration which has not yet be come generally known and appreciated, and which it is feared Mr. Balfour will not fully Inherit, was Lord Salisbury's persistent resistance to Emperor Will lam's efforts to entangle Great Britain in an alliance with Germany. These efforts have been made at Intervals since 1835, and are likely to be renewed, now that Lord Salisbury has retired. Tho chief Immediate cause of apprehen sion, however. Is that Mr Balfour will be unwilling either to reduce radically the eizo ot the unwieldy Cabinet, now number Pbdtot, b Graujfordt Albany Oret ing 19, or make sweeping changes In it. Nowhero Is Its complete reconstruction more earnestly urged than among the Conservatives themselves, some of whom profess to fear that unless the Ministry is strengthened. Its support In the House of Commons will rapidly dwindle. King Leopold of Belgium, whose yacht Alberta Is lying In the Solent, visited King Edward today on the royal yacht Vic toria and Albert and stayed half an hour with him. The latter's condition is said to be all that could be desired. Official notice that the coronation will occur August 9 is followed by tho revival of activity at the Earl Marshal's office and a recasting of the lists of spectators who will require a second Issue of card3 of admission. The officials are starting ,out with the intention of reducing the complex Abbey ceremonial to the sim plest terms. Their plans, without doubt, will bo enlarged upon day by day, as more .favprablo reports are received of tho health of the King. Rehearsals for the procession have been resumed, and It is announced that" the ITIng's new landau will be substituted for the coach of George III. To Rebuild the Campanile. VENICE, July 19. Giovanni P. Moro slnl, a descendant of an ancient family which has given Venice several Doges, and who Is now a wealthy banker of New York City, has sent 5100,000 to help rebuild the campanile. The contribution has cre ated great emotion. Wnen Moroslnl left Venice he was poor. The architect. BonI, to whom, with a committee, has been given the work of reconstructing the campanile, has been entrusted also with the examination and I care of all the other Venetian monuments. Slgnor Bonl Is a director of the excava tions at the Roman Forum. The recovery of the decorations of the Sansovlno log gctta Is proceeding satisfactorily under Slgnor Bonl's care. In addition to the bronze gates which were found intact. th whoTn front cornlcp. with thrp marhl I bas reliefs, was found practically undam i aged, and the bronze Mercury was only rllr.Yi 1.. Inlnroil Among the brick3 of which the cam panile was built have been found Roman bricks from Aqullela, the birthplace of the Venetians, evidently brought as relics of their old home. Portions of the tower prove to have been hollowed and filled with rubbish. America's Trade "With the Cape. NEW YORK. July 19. Further Inquiries at Cape Town Into the trade situation in South Africa tend to show that the In crease of American trade Is solely owing, cables the London correspondent ot the Tribune, to the war In freight rates from New York to South Africa. So far mest of the increase is in produce and bread stuffs, American flour ousting Australian and Argentine. All complain of the con- j scrvatlsm of the British, who refuse con i cessions, says the correspondent, which are cheerfully granted by pMant and ener getic Americans. Typhoon Kill Twenty. HONG KONG, July 19. A typhoon of unusual severity has caused considerable damage here and in this vicinity. It is estimated there la 20 fatalities. Corps of Trained. Assistants "Will Be ' Sent East Oregon Towns Co-operate Portland Will Hold. Mass Meeting Tomorrow. G. M. McKInney, general immigration agent of the Harriman lines, returned to Portland yesterday from a trip up tho Willamette Valley and In Southern Ore gon. Monday evening he will solicit tho co-operation of Portland In the immigra tion work of the Harriman system, at a meeting of citizens called by the Board of Trade. Mr. McKinney has been received at all places of the Northwest with much en thusiasm and with many expressions of encouragement for the great work he 13 about to inaugurate. As Portland is the largest city In the Northwest division ot the Harriman lines, it Is expected to lend a generous hand to the movement. The cause of the great Increase In tho population of the State of Washington is the advertisement and colonization of the state by the railroads. The purpose ot Mr. McKinney is to do the same for Ore gon. Thousands of people in the Middle West hardly know of Oregon at all. Many of. them will be better citizens when they are Informed, for they will come to Ore gon to live. Mr. McKinney has supreme direction of the Immigration work. He has appointed assistants who are thoroughly familiar with the details of the enterprise they are about to undertake. W. II. Burke will have headquarters at Indianapolis. His district will be Ohio. Indiana and part ot Michigan. I. N. Conkltn will have the South Wisconsin and Illinois district, with headquarters at Milwaukee. H. A. Townsend, formerly of Salem. Or., will be at Des Moines. In charge of the district comprising Iowa, part of Missouri and other near-by states. These men are now with Mr. McKinney, touring the North west, acquainting themseUes with Its needs. Its Industries, its resources and its potential development. By this method they will become thoroughly conversant with their territory. Advertisement of the Northwest will be carried on In a gen eral way, and homeseekers will ha e their own individual choice in selecting places for new abodes. The Immigration bureau will simply put Into the hands of home seekers Information about the whole Northwest country. lealng them to select districts which best please them. Citizens and commercial bodies of tho several cities will be relied upon to fur nish a large part of this Information. They are inltcd to send to the Immigra ton bureau printed matter descriptive of the resources and Industries of the dis tricts In which they are located. This will be distributed by the bureau where it will do the mdst posslb'e good. Inas much as this printed matter heretofore has much of It gone where It did the least possible good, citizens realize the great advantage to them of (he enterprise un dertaken by the Harriman sj&tem. All the leading cities which have been vis ited hae promised to furnih advertis ing materials. These materials will bo mostly in the form of booklets, about four by eight Inches In 3lze. containing from eight to 15 pages, replete with half tone illustrations. The number ot copies promised already numbers 2,(XX).6G0. Mr. McKinney is greatly pleased with his trip up tho Willamette Valley. His party, which returned yesterday, included: C. Mackenzie, his first assistant, and W. H. Burke, I. N. Conklin and H. A. Townsend, who will hae headquarters at the lead ing Eastern cities as named above. W. E. Coman, general freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pacific lines in Ore gon: H. E. Lounsbury, traveling freight agent, and G. P. Jones, traveling passen ger agent of the same lines; J. H. O'Nell. traveling passenger agent of the O. R. & N.. and R. M. Hall, of the bureau of pub licity, of the same company. Mr. McKinney will lcae for Eastern Oregon Tuesday. He and his party will visit Hood River, The Dalles, Shaniko, La Grande, Baker City, Union, Sumpter and other places. IOWA AT ST. LOUIS FAIR. Fifty Thousand Dollnrs for a State Bnlldln. ST. LOUIS, July 19. The members ot thfc Iowa World's Fair Commission have decided to allot $50 C00 of the States ap propriation for the erection of a building at the world's fair. This will leave $75,000 for making exhibits in the depart ment buildings. The committee also de cided to have In the building an exhibit room, where relics pertaining to the his tory of Iowa and the performances of it? great men could be shown. Work has been begun on the excavation for the gymnasium, which with the gigan tic amphitheater will be the center of the phjslcal culture exhibit of the exposi tion. The gymnasium will cost SlO'-fl and will have accommodations for 200 people. Simultaneously with the erection of the gymnasium, the great amphitheater and athletic field, which will be used during the world's fair for athletic contests. Turner exhibitions and sports of all kinds will be carried to comyle'ion.

Judge Caldwell, of the Circuit Court, granted an order restraining the Council from granting further franchises or spe cial privileges until the case la heard anil decided. Attorney-General Sheets holds that Inas much as the Federal plan of municipal government has been declared unconsti tutional by the State Supreme Court, the i City Council is an illegal body.
