Roosevelt's Popularity Is
Fast Increasing.

ORHGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
lngton, June IS. President Roosevelt's
continued popularity In the "West Is one
of the encouraging signs to the Republi
cans. "While there has been trouble in
New York, and theflnanclal centers have,
at times Indicated a desire for some 6th
er man for President, the man who trav
els west of the Allegheny Mountains
learns that the President grows In
strength steadily,, .and there is not the
least doubt of his carrying all of the
Northern and Western states, unless per
haps it should be Nevada and Colorado.
And even these states, remembering that
It was President Roosevelt who secured
the passage of the Irrigation law, are like
ly to swing Into line for him.
The result of the Oregon election Is gen
erally taken to show the strength of the
President. "While it is known that Ore
gon is a Republican state, yet In the June
elections it is not often that such tre
mendous majorities are given, and there
can be no interpretation placed upon the
extraordinary vote save that the people
of Oregon desired to give the President
on indorsement. This is an evidence of
the President's popularity throughout the
"West.
Following of His Own In New Yorkt
While the President's popularity in the
"West is such as to almost Insure his elec
tion, no matter how New York goes. It
might bo well to remember that New
Tork Is not wholly dependent upon an
agreement between Piatt and Odell. These
men may continue to war, yet there is
a very strong Roosevelt element through
out the state that Is for the President,
regardless of whether Odell or Piatt get
together. Aa a matter of fact, Roosevelt
gets along with both Odell and Piatt, con
sequently even If the factional fight Is
kept up, the Roosevelt electors ought
sot to be affected.
Cortelyou to Resign This Week.
Beforo many days President Roosevelt
will have to appoint a new Secretary of
Commerce and Labor. During the next
week. In all probability, George B. Cor
telyou will be chosen chairman of the Re
publican National Committee, and will im
mediately resign his Cabinet office. It is
difficult to foretell who will succeed him,
although it is announced that the favored
individual has already been selected by
the President. James A. Garfield, now
Chief of the Bureau of Corporations, in
the Department of Commerce and Labor,
has been, thought by some to be the man.
i2x-Governor Slerrlam. of Minnesota, late
Director of the Census, Is another possi
bility, as Is Congressman Metcalf, of Cali
fornia, and so It goes down a long list,
but until the change is actually made, lit
tle will be known about the President's
choice.
Will Return to the Cabinet.
After the close of the campaign, or
rathor at the opening of the new admin
istration. Secretary Cortelyou la to re
enter the Cabinet, probably as Postmas-ter-Goneral.
Mr. Payne intends to retire
at the close of his present term, on ac
count of poor health. The President rec
ognizes in Cortelyou a man of excep
tional executive ability, and, more than
all else, a clean, straight-out worker,
who is not tainted by a too-close connec
tion with politics. It was for this reason
that Cortelyou was chosen as chairman
of the National Committee, and, in spite
of the fact that he has had little experi
ence in active politics. In many respecta
he la a man like the President himself,
which accounts for the strong bond be
tween them.
New "Mouthpiece" In Senate.
When Congress meets in December, the
administration will have two "mouth
pieces" In the Senate. Up to the present
time. Senator Lodge has been regarded
among legislators as the closest man to
the President, and has been looked to for
an expression of the opinions and ideas
of the administration on matters of pend
ing legislation. But Attorney-General
Knox, who succeeds the late Senator
Quay. Is hardly less close to the Presi
dent than Senator Lodge. The President
has the greatest admiration for his Attorney-General,
and never falls to seek
his advice on matters of a National as
well as a legal character. Both Knox
and Lodge are close to the President,
and both may be regarded as carrying
out the ideas of the administration, so far
as men in their relations with the Presi
dent can do.
The fact that Knox goes to the Senate
does not mean that his work with the
President against the "bad trusts" is to
cease. On tie contrary, he will be in a
position to lend the Administration val
uable aid. The anti-trust legislation, re
cently enacted by the advice of the Ad
ministration, was experimental In char
acter, and Intended prlnclFaUy to facili
tate prompt procedure under the Sher
man law and Its amendments. It was
anticipated when the new laws were
passed that they would operate to show
tip the shortcomings of the existing law,
and indicate wherein that law should be
modified or strengthened. There will be
no trust legislation in the short session,
but In the first session of the Fifty-ninth
Congress enough will be known about ex
isting laws to Indicate what changes are
deemed advlsablo, and then it will be that
the now Senator from Pennsylvania; with
his intimate knowledge of the working
of- the existing laws, -will be able to lend
a strong hand in securing more perfect
anti-trust legislation, which will the bet
ter enable tae Government to Teach cor
porations which ore oppressing the peo
ple. .
SURE FAIR WILL BE SUCCESS.
Tawney In High Spirits Over' the
Lewis and Clark Exposition.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, June IS. "I am sure the Lewis
and Clark Exposition will be a financial
success," said Representative Tawney to
day. Mr. Tawney just now Is deeply in
terested In the finances of the St. Louis
Exposition, and has been urging Presi
dent Francis and other exposition au
thorities to advertise their show more
extensively.
"Tbe-expositions have to be exploited,"
said Mr. Tawney, "If I were running the
St Louis Exposition, I would engage the
best .circus, advance .agent that could be
had. would pay him. his price, and it
would -be mouey well invested. Tou have
got to, let- people know, what Is on before
tney will come to your show. I believe
the: Goverhment wfll -ee,t back all of the
$4,600,000 -loan it made -to the St. Louis
Exposition, hut before anybody makes
money there must be more advertising.
Portland will have to do the same. "While :
1 feel sure . that the exposition will turn'
out a financial success, the more it is ad-.
vertlsed the. more successful It will be."
Representative- Tawney Is greatly
pleased at the large . Republican major
ities in Oregon, ana believes "they fore
shadow the result of-the .general election

TRY TP KEEP ALASKANS OUT.
Indian Bureau Not Willing They Be
Educated. at Chemawa.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, June" 18. Notwithstanding the fact
that Congress, at the recent session, ap
propriated $5000 to defray the expenses of
transporting Indian children from Alaska
to the Chemawa Indian School, It is im
probable that the money will be expended
for tho purpose. The Indian Bureau does
not regard the natives of Alaska as In
dians, and is making an endeavor to keep
out of the schools under its charge all
children not generally accepted as In
dians. In the Southern schools it has long,
had difficulty with the Mexicans, who
have been crowded In from time to time,
until it is almost impossible to weed them
out. It is feared the same thing would
occur at Chemawa, if native Alaskan
children, who are' regarded as Eskimos,
should gain admission to Chemawa. It Is
the desire of the office to maintain the
Chemawa institution solely for the educa
tion of Indian children, and. as far as pos
sible, all others will be excluded. The In
dian Bureau believes the native Alaskan
children are adequately taken care of un
der the Bureau of Education, which .main
tains schools at numerous points in
Alaska.
ARMY OFFICER TO BE AGENT
Hitchcock Decides Upon Policy for
Colville Indian Reservation.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, June IS. Secretary Hitchcock has
determined to appoint a retired Army
officer as Indian Agent at Colville,
Wash., and is looking about for a
man. At Hitchcock's request, General
Chaffee wrote to several retired officers,
asking if this assignment would be accept
able to them, but most of those addressed
declined the appointment. Two or three
names of men willing to accept the place
at a salary of $1500, In addition to their re
tired pay, are under consideration, and tho
appointment will probably be made early
next week.
The officer appointed will be a regular
agent and must be confirmed by the Sen
ate. By the selection of a retired Army
man, however, the office is practically re
moved from politics. The "Washington
Senators were not consulted in the selec
tion of an agent. Because of the fact that
Colville also controls Spokane and Coeur
d'Alene reservations, it was deemed inad
visable to abolish the agency and place
a bonded superintendent in charge, as at
first proposed.
MANY SPEAK FOR POTTER.
Indian Official's Case, However, Will
Be Considered on Its Merits.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 18. Secretary Hitchcock and
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones
have received a great number of letters
from persons In Oregon and neighboring
states, protesting against tho removal of
T. W. Potter, as superintendent of the
Chemawa Indian School. Many of the let
ters come from personal friends of Mr.
Potter. Others apparently are obtained
through the influence of friends.
When Potter's, case Is considered these
letters will not Influence the department
In the least The facts as reported by the
inspecting officials, and as found by In
dian Commissioner Jones, will form the
basis of the decision of the department
Will Meet Director Goode Tomorrow.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Juno IS. A telegram was received
here today from Director-General Goode,

ing that he will arrive In Washington

ment board to discuss sites for Govern
ment buildings and other matters connect
ed with the Government's exhibit. The

Mr. Goode on. the date mentioned, and
will later consider the report of Treasury
Agent J. W. Roberts, who recommends
acceptance ofthe peninsula site.
Cortelyou -Speaks at College Banquet.
WESTFIELD. Mass., June IS. The tri
ennial meeting and banquet of the West
field State Normal School, which is the
second oldest of Its kind In the country,
took place this afternoon. Secretary
George B. Cortelyou, as president of th
Alumni Association, presided and made
an address. Secretary Cortelyou spoke In
part as follows:
"It Is not necessary to be o. pessimist to
recognize evil tendencies and forbidding
Influences that menace the National wel
fare. The founders of the Nation breathed
the verj spirit of optimism, and while
recognizing that this Government, like all
human devices, had its imperfections, the
great leaders of American thought and
action, from the days of Washington to
the present moment, have carried aloft
the banner of a National hopefulness, and
have been sustained and strengthened by
a firmly-rooted belief in the Integrity and
greatness and glory of this mighty Re
public." New Coast Coaling Station for Navy.
WASHINGTON. JunelS. The bureau of
equipment of the Navy Department has
planned to establish a large coaling sta
tion, with a capacity of 100,000 tons, at

ALTERNATE DELEGATE FROM IDAHO TO REPUBLICAN
"NATIONAL CONVENTION
Mrs. J. X. West.
Grant Memorial University at
Athens, Tenn., In 1837. The following year she married J. B. West,
.a leading lawyer of Ashevllle, N. C. At the time ot her marriage, Mrs. "West
had -been elected to the chair of mathematics In the State Normal School
of North Carolina, and had- been offered other Important positions In the,
educational work.
In 1801, Mr and Mrs. "West came to Moscow, Idaho, Mrs. West's health
having become so poor that a change of climate was regarded as necessary.
In 1S09 tne family removed to Lewlston, Mr. "West having been appointed
Register of the United States Land Office here.
They have a beautiful home here. Mrs "West pays little attention to
society, although well known arid enthusiastically admired by the ladles of
the state. Although always .interested In politics, Mrs. West has never
made a campaign or the state as a speaker.
These men are Inspiring awe among the
ignorant nomads by rneaas of an alleged
miracle carried -out with the aid of elec
trical and pyrotechnlcal devices.
These so-called apostles preach the re?
Incarnation of the god Airol, and pretend
to carry from him messages to the people,
saying he has not been happy since he
left them 200 years ago, coincident with
the date of the Russian occupation of the
country. They warn the Mongols to ab
stain from wearing white or red clothing,
these being the Russian national colors,
and to wear only blue and yellow, the 'na
tional colors of Japan; urge them to wor
ship the sun and moon, which are rthe
gods of Japan, and especially the overgod
Burhan, which Is the only true god of "the
gods. They also warn the Inhabitants to
discard all agricultural Implements, and
to keep their arms hidden In the moun
tains and elsewhere.
Many rich men of the Kalmuck tribe
have taken up the propaganda, one of
whom has sacrificed $3000 and another $280
in honor of the god.
The seriousness of the situation lies in
the fact that the tribes in which the re
volt Is fostered inhabit both sides of the
Trans-Siberian Railroad, and number
many thousands of potential fanatics, and
should any serious uprising becur, it
might interfere materially with railroad
communication.
JAPAN MAY NOT PROTEST.
Discussion Over Misuse of Flag af
Telissu Not Likely to Avail.
TOKIO, June' 18. The Japanese govern
ment may decide not to make any
formal protest through , France against
the alleged violation of the Japanese flag
at the battle of Telissu, on the ground of
its uselessness. It Is believed that Russia
will deny, whatever the fadts may be,
creating a discussion which would only
involve a waste of time. Herein lies one
disadvantage of the Japanese plan to re
strict military observers and press corre
spondents, for the reason that no matter
how flagrant the violations they may
charge of the law of nations, they are
unable to substantiate them without tho
testimony of neutral witnesses.
The Japanese people are intensely in
censed at the Telissu Incident, and the
press bitterly denounces the Russian army
commanders. "While the Japanese Govern
ment desires to wage war in the most
humane way, it Is Improbable It can re
strain Its men from violations in revenge
for atrocities perpetrated by the enemy.
(A dispatch from Tokio dated June 16,
describing the fighting at Telissu on June
15, said the commanders had made spe
cific charges that the Russians had vio
lated the Japanese flag during the en
gagement. They declared that during the
fighting, a body ot Russian soldiers ap
peared carrying a Japanese flag, and that
the Japanese artillery, deceived by this
flag, ceased firing upon that -particular
body of Russians.)
BODIES HORRIBLY MUTILATED
Russian Correspondents Tell of Cruel
ty of ths Japanese.
ST. PETERSBURG, June lColonel
Merchausky, commander of the Fourth
Infantry Regiment, was taken prisoner
by the Japanese at "Vafangow.
The charge that the Japanese mutilated
Russian wounded found in the bushes
about the battlefield of Vafangow Unre
pealed by Russian correspondents, Neml
rovich Danchenko, .probably the best
known of the Russian war correspond
ents, says a hospital assistant In charge
of three wounded soldiers having been
driven off on the approach of some Jap
anese cavalry, saw the latter mutilate
the wounded men. Inflicting stabs and
slashes. One body showed ES wounds on
the head, the .face was cut open, the eyes
were gouged out, the breasts were pierced
and the knees were crushed by rifle butts.
The skull of one man was crushed.
M. Danchenko.declares that this horrible
practice was indulged In by the Bashl
Bazouks in the Turkish war, and says
General Slmonoff, commander of the Sibe

a stftteflKat in. ragax to the Japanese
KUtHatloas. which was signed by the

The Japanese had 100 guns to the Rus
sians 60, and fired fully-1500 shells against

vance of a mass of Infantry against the
Russian center, regardless of the Red

way station where the Russian wounded i
were being" attended. Many of the
wounded, they assert, sustained further
injuries. The Russian fighting line, when
It retired- from the station at Gastelln.

their falling Into the hands of tho enemy.
The officers further charge that the Jap

RUSSIA'S PURPOSE SERVED.
Battle of Vafarigow Relieved Tension
at Port Arthur.
ST. PETERSBURG, June IS. It trans
pires that tho simultaneous raid of the
Vladivostok squadron and Qenerai Stakel
berg'a march southward were the direct
outcome of a plan agreed .upon by Viceroy
Alezleff and General Kuropatkln at Muk
den immediately after the battle of
Kinchou, to relieve the tension at Port
Arthur.
The authorities apparently are sat
isfied with the results of Stakelbergs
mission, he having compelled the dis
patch north of detachments of the
Third Japanese army, "commanded by
General Nodzu, delaying: tho siege to
that extent, while at sea the raid of
the Russian squadron has rendered the
further transport ot troops from the
Japanese mainland impossible.
The Admiralty has no direct news
from the Vladivostok squadron, and
has not Intimated what its further mis
sion Is. The papers are all rejoicing at
Its exploits, the Novoe Vremya de
scribing the raid as a marvel of dash
and pluck.

Important Engagement In Southern
Manchuria Is Imminent.
ULA.O YANG, June IS. The retirement

Japanese east and abrthward makes Im
minent a still more Important engage
ment In the southern region. The Jap
anese have now arrived at a point waere
the forces are more equal, and where
they must fight on more even terms.
The loss of 2000 men by the two Russian
divisions at Vafangow shows the courage
and ability of the officers and troops to
retain their position under a percentage
of loss almost unprecedented.

NEGOTIATIONS ARE OPENED
Answer Is Expected Today to a Propo
sition to Remit Ransom for
Perdicaris and Varley
Through Sheriff.
WASHINGTON, June IS. A cablegram
received at the State Department from
Conaul-Gcneral Gummere at Tangier, in
confirming the press report that the Sul
tan had agreed to all of Raisuli's terms,
adds the bandit requested that the money
ransom. $55,000, be paid over today. Mr.
Gummere expressed grave doubts as to
advisability of making this payment be
fore Perdicaris and "Varley were actually
released, and safely returned to Tan
gier. In his cablegram, tho Consul-General
states that Raisuli's negotiator; returned
to Tangier last night and Teported that
the terms had been accepted and the
money as well as the prisoners released
by the Sultan today must be Immediately
turned over to Ralsull at Taradant, where
he Is now located, and the captives wW
be released.
Mr. Gummere and the British 2dinl3ter
both objected to this plan, on the ground
that they placed everything In Raisuli's
hands and they had' no assurance that he

FINNS NO LONGER FEARED.
Absence, of Demonstrations After As
sassination1 Reassures Officials.
HELSINGFOR, Finland, June IS. No
disturbances have occurred In any part of
Finland' as the result of -the assassination
of Governor-General Bobrlkoff nor do the
authorities believe :that there Is danger of
any demonstratlorioi' sympathy with tho
act of Schauma'nn.
Tho 'conservative class of Finns depre
cate the deed, not only because of its Im
mediate effect upon them, but because it
is calculated to alienate the sympathy of
the outside world, which is essential for
their campaign.
Members of the Senate, who had insist
ed that the responsibility of guarding- the
Governor-General Inside the Senate cham
ber should rest on their shoulders, pub
licly condemn the act .Several Finnish
Senators have already gone' to the Empe
ror to- express their regret and" endeavor
to prevent the adoption of harsh meas
ures, which they fear would further alien
ate, the Russians and Finns.
Although Schaumann" left a letter saying
he had' no accomplices and that he acted
entirely on his own: Initiative, the authori
ties firmly believe that a plot existed.
Several friends of Schaumann have been
placed under arrest, but no evidence has
yet-- been, obtajned. .'The father o$ the
jitaajissju, wiiu. was. oismissea irom tne
! Senate atJhe time of the opposition to

cretion a.nd insubordination shown In :a
recent speech at Montreal, today In a
statement given to the press hits back at
his critics. Ho asserts the militia has
been grossly interfered with by party
politicians. He alleges that Important
parts of nis reports for 1502 and 1908 were
wrongfully suppressed by the Minister of

falsehood In the House of Commons.
He shows that the mllltla has been
