TROUBLE ENDED
France Thinks Czar's Orders
Will Be Obeyed.
BUT THERE MIGHT BE DELAY
Kamranh Bay an Inaccessible, Un
inhabited Place Japanese Say
They Would Be Justified
in Attacking Fleet.
PARIS, April 22. Officials here maintain
that the gravity of the Franco-Japanese
issue over neutrality has been much re
lieved by the vigorous measures -which
France adopted. Emperor Nicholas' order
to Vice-Admiral Rojestvenslcy to leave
French waters are the direct result. To
have the Emperor give a decisis order,
it Is held here, signifies that such order
must be obeyed, "whereas Vlce-Admlral
Rojestvensky has exercised his personal
discretion as to observing orders emanat
ing from the Husslan Admiralty concern
ing French waters off the coast of Mada
gascar. It is the official application of the order
that the departure of the squadron should
occur today. However, it is recognized
that delays might occur in getting the
Emperor's orders to Rojestvensky, as it
took four days for Rojestvensky's last tel
egram to reach St. Petersburg. This is
due to the remote and desolate character
of Kamranh Bay.
Heretofore Kamranh Bay has been an
unknown spot, although an adventurous
Frenchman, the Marquis de Munville, has
established a small colony there. The
Marquis uses this colony as a base for
hunting expeditions and for carrying Vn
a considerable trade with coast points.
Except for this primitive settlement, Kam
ranh Bay has no habitation, no custom
house, no telegraph and no official estab
lishment of any kind.
The Journal des Debats today publishes
a long editorial article on the Franco
Japanese incident, which says:
"While Japan's anxiety is naturally
great over the approach of the Russian
squadron, yet Japanese public opinion
seems to have given proof of too much
emotion and sensitiveness. The facts con
cerning the presence of the Russian squad
ron in Kamranh Bay have not been ex
actly known, and nothing indicated our
intention to disregard unknown facts.
Nevertheless, Japan shows great public
effervescence. The Japanese press com
ments freely, and public meetings have
been organized to denounce our supposed
hostile attitude toward Japan. " It sur
prising that such things should occur in
a country where one hardly expects to see
street opinion substituted for diplomacy."
The general tone of the press comment
here Is mild, with a few unimportant ex
ceptions, such as tonight's Issue of the ir
responsible Pa'trle, which makes a violent
attack upon Japan.
JAPAN'S DEMANDS GRANTED
France Secures Orders to Rojest
vensky to Respect Her Neutrality.
PARIS. April 22 (1:35 P. M.)-The For
eign Office received advices from St.
Petersburg this morning showing that
the Instructions sent to Admiral Rojest
vensky are positive and explicit, and that
he must keep outside of French waters.
The nature of the instructions is said
to be such that Rojestvensky must ob
serve them by fully respecting French
neutrality, or else subject himself to pun
ishment from his government. There
fore, the officials here feel that France
has succeeded in securing the limit of
what Japan can reasonably ask. The
government still awaits the reply of M.
Beau, Governor-General of Indo-Chlna,
upon the exact locality of the Russian
squadron, and whether it is within or
without French waters. His absence from
his headquarters at Saigon may delay
the Governor-General's reply, his last
telegram showing that he was at a small
port south of Hanoi, the capital of Ton
quin. Further official advices show that radi
cal steps have been taken to prevent the
Russian protected cruiser Diana, interned
at Saigon after the naval battle of Au
gust 10, from putting to sea and resum
ing her active operations. The Diana is
understood to have been lying recently
at Haifong, where her repairs were suf
ficiently advanced to permit her to rejoin
Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron, and
thus add another powerful cruiser to his
strength. But the French authorities
peremptorily required the cruiser to be
placed in a condition making it impos
sible for her to go to sea. Therefore, such
parts of her machinery as are indispen
sable to her moving, such as her crank
shaft and propeller, have been removed,
thus rendering the Diana ineffective. The
officials here desire to direct attention
to this case as clearly showing the de
termination with which France's neutral
ity requirements are being enforced.

STILL AT KAMRANH BAY FRIDAY
Russians Lay in Vast Stores While
Awaiting Nebogatof f.
NEW YORK, April 22. A dispatch from
Saigon to a newspaper of this city as
serts positively that the Russian second
Pacific squadron was still in Kamranh
Bay on Friday. The correspondent says
the Russian vessels, which number about
60, are short of stores and that French
and German steamers, including the Eva
and Dagular, are carrying Immense quan
tities of supplies from Saigon." The steam-
er'Grjdan has been sold for 330.000 to be
used for conveying stores, and another
steamer has been chartered for the same
purpose. -
The British steamer Hindu is unloading
coal at Saigon, adding to a store of 45,000
tons' already accumulated by Russian
agents. Five colliers will convey this fu
el to the squadron.
Another Russian squadron, consisting
of seven battleships and cruisers CVice
Admiral Nebogatoff's) Is said to be ex
pected hourly to join Rojestvensky. It
is believed in Saigon that one portion of
the Russian fleet will then go to meet
the Japanese, while the other will make
a wide detouf and endeavor to reach
Vladivostok.

has violated French neutrality at Kam

both ministries that the Admiral, who Is
familiar with French regulations, has

necessity of strict observance of France's
neutrality.
France communicated the Japanese pro
test to Russia through the Russian Am
bassador at Paris, pointing out the awk
ward position In which she would be
placed if the Japanese complaint proved
well founded. Foreign Minister Iams6orff
thereupon transmitted It to Vlce-Admlral
Rojestvensky with specific Instructions
that there must be no encroachment on
their ally's neutrality, and that if It al
ready had been Infringed and the Russian
ships were still within the three-mile
limit, they must at once go out to sea.
In official circles the Incident Is con
sidered practically closed. The discussion
may run on, but both France and Russia
are taking the same official position, and
serious complications are regarded s Im
possible. WHAT THEY SAID AT KAMRANH
Eye-Witnesses Tell How Russians
Abused French Neutrality.
TOKIO. April 22. (1 P. M.) The Navy
Department has Issued the following
statement of Indisputable witnesses who
personally observed, and report as follows
about the Russian second Pacific squad
ron in Kamranh Bay:

SAYS ENFORCE ALL LAWS
V. B. Glafke Announces His Plat
form to "Woodlawn Voters.
At a well-attended meeting of represent
ative citizens of "Woodlawn held last even
ing the campaign to bring about the nom
ination of W. B. Glafke for Mayor on the
Republican ticket was launched on the
Bast Side. J. F. "Winchester presided, and
In a few words explained that the effort
to secure the nomination of Mr. Glafke
was being pushed by business men, who
wanted a change from machine methods
to those of business principles. Herman
"Wittenberg was the first and main speak
er of the evening. He complimented
Mayor "Williams as the "grand old man."
but who had not proved a success as
Mayor, not because he lacked In honeety
of purpose and desire, but because he had
failed to grasp the details of the city gov
ernment. Mr. Glafke, said Mr. "Witten
berg, had made a success In his private
business, and hence was eure to be a
success In managing the affairs of the
city as he had managed his own business.
Mr. "Wittenberg declared that now was the
time Portland needed a business adminis
tration, as the people of Portland were
tired of machine politics and corruption
In public office. He had known Mr. Glafke
for 20 years, and had every confidence that
he would give such an administration as
would make the Tanner-Creek sewer
scandal Impossible.
Following came a short talk by Mr.
Glafke. who read his platform. In which
he says he favors a square deal for every
one and fear or favor for none. Mr.
Glafke said he had made no promises
so far, and should make none. He de
clared that he would enforce the laws If
elected, without discrimination, and
should not compel one saloon to close at
1 A.;M. and allow another to run beyond
that time. There would be no open town
nor closed town, but a decent, weH-qr-dered
city, with complete enforcement of
all the laws.
Other short talks 'were made. -Chairman
"Winchester presented the membership roll
of the Glafke. Club, and many enrolled
their names. It Is the Intention of Mr.
Glafke to address all the principal sub
urbs on the East Side, Including Alblna,
Sunnyslde, Brooklyn and Sellwood, and he
also will address the voters of the Eighth
Ward. Meetings will be arranged and an
nounced in a short time.
T am not a machine man. I have no
connection or affiliation with any po
litical body other than the Glafke Re
publican Club, and I nave made no
promises other than what are con
tained in my platform." This was the
declaration made by "W. B. Glafke, can
didate for Mayorbefore the voters of
the Tenth Ward at "Woodlawn Hall last
night.
This meeting was the first of a se
ries to be held throughout the city." It
is the purpose of Mr. Glafke to go into
every ward and tell the voters, to use
his own words, "Just precisely what I
think and mean."
In the promise of a business adminis
tration - Mr. Glafke has apparently
taken Roosevelt for a model and he is
not only following the President In
spirit but in letter as well. Following
up his letter to tne labor unions', in
which he stated his position in regard
to labor and the Citizens' Alliance he
was equally emphatic last night in sev
eral other matters.
"My platform Is an expression," he
said, "of just what I will do should I
be elected, to the Mayoralty. I do not
promise any great reform movement,
but I do promise that all the city ordi
nances and laws will be fully enforced.
There will be no open town other than
what the law allows. When the ordi
nance says that all saloons shall be
closed from 1 O'clocic A. M. to 5 o'clock
A. M.f I shall see that every saloon In
town is closed between those hours.
There will be no winking of the official
eye nor looking the other way In the
case of a few. This same thing applies
to gambling. I do not believe In it, but
uslde from that so long as the law
says that there shall be no gambling
it Is the absolute duty of the Mayor
to see that this law la enforced. Should
I be elected Mayor I shall see to It that
the Police Department enforces such
laws and I will have a chief who will
do It If I have to put a new man In
every month until I find the right one.
"I shall be the Mayor of the entire
body of citizens of Portland, and there
will be no class discrimination. The
chief executive of this city should be
the Mayor of the merchant and laborer,
the rich and poor equally, and I pledge
my word that In this candidacy I am
bound by no promlse to any Individual
or faction."
James Thompson, of "Wadhams &
Kerr Bros., followed Mr. Glafke, and
spoke at length on the need of a busi
ness administration In city affairs. "For
this," he said, " who can be better fit
ted than a successful business man? To
my mind Mr. Glafke embodies all that
is Tequlred for an honest,, clean and
businesslike government. He Is a man
of honor and integrity, both in com
mercial and social lifei and his ability
to handle things In a businesslike and
honest way cannot be questioned.
"From what I know of Mr. Glafke I
can say that he is just the man who
will devote the same strict attention to
the details of the city affairs that Is
given by the successful man in his own
business. There will be no such thing
as flopping from one side of a ques
tion to the other and there will be no
street, sewer or other scandal. A busi
ness administration by a business man
is what Is promised and I think It can
be obtained by electing Mr. Glafke."
Charles "Woodcock, of the Standard
Box Company. W,H. Adams, of Cor
nell, Falling & Robertson, and S. Kru
ger also addressed the meeting.

Chicago Employers Refuse Ar
bitration of Strike.
GRAND JURY CEASES WORK
Demand of Teamsters That Garment
Workers' Strike Bo Arbitrated
Is Rejected, Though Ac
ceptance Is Advised.
CHICAGO, April 22. The Employers'
Association of Chicago refused this after
noon to accept the proposition of the.
teamsters that all questions Involved in
the Montgomery Ward & Co. strike be
submitted to arbitration with Judge Tuley
as arbitrator.
The proposition of the teamsters was
conveyed to the employers through May
or Dunne, and late this afternoon the em
ployers replied to the Mayor that 'they
were, as they have been from the first,
willing to arbitrate anything connected
with the strike of the teamsters alone,
but that they will under no circumstances
consent to arbitrate tne strike of the
garmentworkers, which was over four
months before the teamsters went out on
a sympathetic strike.
The Mayor was Informed by the em
ployers that the strike was "declared, not
because of any difference between the
teamsters and Montgomery "Ward & Co.,
or between the teamsters and any mem
ber of the Employers' Association, but
because of a difference between Mont
gomery "Ward & Co. and a certain branch
of labor which Is entirely foreign to any
thing affecting the teamsters." Such be
ing the case, the Mayor was Informed
that the employers have done all In their
power when they offered to arbitrate with
the teamsters alone, and that they will
do nothing further in the line of arbitra
tion. This action of the Employers' Associa
tion discounted In advance the action fa
vored by some members of the grand
jury, which today commenced an Investi
gation of the strike and Its causes. After
a number of witnesses had been exam
ined, several members of the Jury ex-
pressed themselves as In favor of discon
tinuing the investigation and adopting a
report recommending that Judge Tuley be
selected to act as one of the board of ar
bitrators. A majority of the Jurors, It is
said, favora arbitration, and it Is reported
that the Investigation will close Monday.
The employers and teamowners who
were called to testify expressed them
selves as dissatisfied with the scope of the
inquiry made by the jury. They expected
that they would be called to tell of such
acts of lawlessness as they had witnessed
during the strike, but Instead of this
found that the jury had prepared a list
of questions, and most of these the wit
nesses were unable to answer. The mem
bers of the jury manifested a desire to
ascertain the .exact causes of the strike,
declaring that they would take up the as
saults and street disturbances If the pre
liminary evidence offered established any
urgent need of grand jury Investigation
along these lines.
"What is believed to have been an at
tempt to blow up one of the Montgomery
"Ward & Co. warehouses was thwarted by
a heavy rainfall. Today a small bomb or
dynamite cartridge was discovered in a
pool of water In the rear of the ware
house. The bomb is three" Inches long,
more than an Inch In diameter and weighs
nearly half a pound. It has copper caps
on each end.
The labor leaders had a brief confer
ence today and at Its conclusion Inter
national President Shea, of the team
sters!, was the only one who would speak.
He .confined his remarks to the state
ment that matters were at present at a
standstill: that nothing . could be , done
before Monday and he did not expect an
extension of the strike beyond Its present
limit.
Teamsters employed by the Daniels
Coal Company, which has persisted In
delivering coal to Montgomery. "Ward &
Co.. rebelled this afternoon, claiming
that nonunion men were working beside
them, walked out, saying they would not
return until the strike was settled. The
Employers' Association will attend to
the matter of supplying the coal.
PROTEST AGAINST JAPANESE.
Bay City Labor Council "Would Not
Have Them Work on Canal.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-(Special.)
Resolutions at the session of the San
Francisco Labor Council last evening,
protesting against the employment of Jap
anese on the Panama Canal, were unani
mously adopted. The resolution follows
In part:
"Whereas, The Isthmian Canal Commission
Is about to conclude, or haa already con
eluded contracts for the employment of Jap
anese laborers on the Panama. Canal.
Whereas, The employment of Asiatic la
borers, to the exclusion of white or colored
laborers of American origin, would be a con
fession to the world that this continent Is
unable ot furnish labor that In skill, endur
ance and ability to combat adverse conditions,
to successfully carry on the construction of
ite great public works, which we emphatic
ally deny.
"Whereas, Such a course would not only
commit our Government to the fatal and short
sighted policy ot choosing the cheapest and
most servile labor available, but would also
be a violation of the spirit If not the letter
of the alien contract labor laws, and possibly
in violation of the 13th amendment of the
Constitution of the United States.
Whereas, No real difficulties may arlee to
the procuring- of the 10.000 or 20,000 men
necessary, from either the acclimated inhabi
tants of tropical America or from the hun
dreds of thousands of our own unemployed,
who If cared for with half the solicitude
shown our naval and military forces In the
tropics', will, we can safely assert, meet all
reasonable requirements as to efficiency, en
durance and supply.
Whereas, The construction of this canal,
the greatest undertaking in the history of our
country. Is to be paid for by millions of
dollars of American money, appropriated by
the American Congress and was designed for
the benefit ot Americans first of all.
Resolved, That we enter our earnest and
emphatic protest.

MILWAUKEE, April 22. Judge
James Jenkins, who recently retired
from the United States Circuit Court
bench, has written an article for the
Mllwaukeo Journal In which he holds
that a peaceful strike would be like a
bloodless war, and that only through
violence can a strike succeed. With

Judge Jenkins cites the decision in the

SHOT BREAKS SILENCE.
Beautiful Noblewoman Commits Sui
cide During Cathedral Service.
NEW YORK. April 22. In the midst of '
a great throng attending Good Friday 1
services In the famous cathedral, the '
Marchioness Maria Pallavlclnl, "Viscount- i
ess of Trent. Austria, yesterday commit- !
ted suicide by shooting, cables the Milan !
correspondent of the American. The cir
cumstances were so Intensely dramatic
and extraordinary as to be unprecedented.
The suicide of the Marchioness occurred
at the moment of the most intense relig
ious concentration in the great cathedral,
where were gathered 15,000 Catholic wor
shipers. The congregation was kneeling
when a shot rang out.
An Austrian priest hurried to the side
of the Countess and found her dying, with
a wound In her forehead. Her death oc
curred a few moments later, while she
was being conveyed to a hospital.
The Marchioness was renowned
throughout Italy for her great beauty.
She was not yet 30 years of age. Do
mestic unhapplness following separation
from her husband is supposed to have
been the cause of her suicide.
The procession of the stations of the
cross had ended, and thousands in the
cathedral knelt in silence about the cruci
fix. The tense silence was shattered like
a broken glass. Thousands of women rose
to their feet,, panic-stricken- by the scream
which followed the shot. Only those clus
tered near could realize what had hap
pened. On the beautiful prie dleu on which
she had been kneeling at prayer lay the
Marchioness, blood streaming from the
wound in her forehead, while the women
near her screamed and frantically sought
to get away from the spot."
From the altar a priest forced his way
to her side, and remained kneeling, ad
ministering the last rites of the church.
Other church ofHcials hurrle,d about
through the cathedral urging the throng
to leave until the building had been
cleared, so that It could be consecrated
anew. An ambulance was called and
the Marchioness was hurried to a hos
pital, but died on the way.
The cathedral was solemnly reconse
crated before the commencement of the
evening services.
