THE StflaXLY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JULY 23, 1905. 13L RUSSIA NOT RIPE Too Earlyfor Self-Government, thinks Pobledonostseff. AUTOCRACY ONLY CAN RULE Procurator-General Explains "Why He Is Hated, Ikying It to Mis rcsentations of Enemies and Ignorance ST. PETERSBURG. July 23. (1:50 A. M.) 'Russia. Is not yet ripe for parliament ary Institutions. The nation lacks both leaders and education in local self-government." This is the view of Constantine Pelro vitch Pobledonostseff, procurator-general of the moving spirits In Russia's Internal policy, who in his old age and amid a Hood of Western ideas holds steadfastly and honestly to his faith In autocracy and orthodoxy. M. Pobledonostseff, who re ceived the Associated Press report at his home in Tsarskoe-Selo today, appeared to be unshaken by the attempt made on his life last Thursday, and described that event, saying that his assailant passed 20 close in front of him that he almost brushed him and then drew a repeating pistol, but was instantly seized by another passenger from the train. "The causes for the attack on me," said the procurator-general, "He In ignorance and dishonesty, and ignorance of the fact that for ten years I have had no influ ence in legislation, and dishonesty of the most dastardly sort, because of unpopu lar measures and politics, with which I had absolutely nothing to do. being In tentionally credited to me. Much of the cause is due also to unprincipled and Ir responsible Russian papers printed abroad, which ignorantly fire the imagina tion and which inspired the attempt on me last year." Passing to a frank discussion of the present reform measure, M. Pobledonost seff declared that the reformers were largely theorists who were attempting to fit. the cloth of Western Institutions to a nation having Its own peculiar and dis tinctive ideas and institutions. "Whatever the outcome of the present movement may be," he said, "there will be more agrarian disorders and uprisings like that "headed by the rebel Cossack Yemel yan Pugatcheff, and more mutinies and rebellions. There is no doubt that only such reforms and institutions will take root as have foundations of a national character. Only such can Insure civil freedom. Only a nation capable ot local self-government can work out and pre serve free institutions and guarantee civil freedom. Otherwise a new government would be bound to produce as unsatisfac tory bureaucrats as those whom it seeks to replace- The present reform movement has on Its banner the familiar falsehoods 'universal suffrage and 'the will of the people. The movement certainly indi cates a weakening in authority. It may And encouragement in vacillation, but of Itself shows little Intellectual power or firmness. "It Is no secret that freedom and na tional government are mere theories to our reformers, not even sufficiently stud ied and not at all understood. It takes men to create institutions. The men in demand here must come. They are not yet in sight." PEASANTS IX ZEMSTVOS. Assemblies Will Be Organized Throughout Russia. MOSCOW. July '22. The final meeting of the Zemstvo congress today adopted a motion of Prince Dolgorouki that the bureau be granted power to call to the next congress representatives from the outskirts of the Empire and from places where Zemstvos are not held and also from various agricultural and financial societies. The bureau Is further author ized to enter into an agreement with va rious organizations, unions and societies. After arranging for financial support of the congress by delegations, a pro posal to invite neasants to the congress was Adopted. The congress unfavorably received the suggestion that workmen's organizations be invited and referred the matter to a bureau. On motion of Prince Shakoffskoy it was decided to organize assemblies through out the country and submit to them the conclusions of the congress respecting the scheme of Minister of the Interior Bouli gan. A proposal to protest against the repressive measures against the press and t.e frequency of the death sentence was referred to the bureau The question of woman suffrage was left open. The con gress then adjourned. NEW MUTINY IS THREATENED Ignatlcff Warns Jews to Stop Agita tion or Will Destroy City. ODESSA. July 22. A report has reached here from Sevastopol to the effect that a mutinous conspiracy has been discovered among the crews of the vessels of the Black Sea fleet. In consequence of which the Summer maneuvers have been can celed. General lgnatleh. president of the spe cial conference for the revision of laws designed for safeguarding public order, arrived here for the purpose of investi gating the disorders. It is reported from Ellzabethgrad that General Ignatieff, af ter spending several days there, sent for the representative Jews and Informed them that unless they kept the youths from participating In the revolutionary movement he would destroy the city. TO UPHOLD PERSONAL RIGHTS Zemstvo Congress Resolves on Policy of Resistance. MOSCOW, July 22.-The All-Russian Zemstvo Congress has adopted the follow ing resolution: "In view of the constant violation of legal orders, the congress resolves that It must uphold the national rights of man by pacific means, not excluding non pubmlssion to the authorities breaking said rights, notwithstanding that the authori ties may cite existing laws." The congress has also approved the draft of a radical address describing the prejudicial results of the bureaucratic or ganization. IN MEMORY OP. RED SUNDAY Russian Workmen Hold Memorial Services Bomb Cache Discovered. ST. PETERSBURG. July 22. Today was widely observed by the working classes and Liberals of St. Petersburg and many other parts of the -empire a a me morial day for those killed In the disturb ances of January 22. six months ago. No reports of serious dtp orders were re ceived. Many factories In St. Petersburg were closed all day. the workmen depart, lug. After the requiem masses there was & stoppage ot work among the printers and the wen employed In several other trades. Only, one afternoa paper was printed' and the majority of the morning papers will not appear tomorrow.

The Zemstvo Congress in session at Moscow will adjourn tonight. The results of Its deliberations will not be published, but they arc generally known In Liberal circles. Considerable disappointment is expressed at the results attained, as It is felt that much time was wasted in the discussion of nonessential points. The Novosti daringly published the res olutions of the Zcmetvo Congress regard ing the Bouligan project undere guise of "views of a number of Liberal," but the o there paper were deterred from so doing by the fat of the Slovo, which was sus pended fur a month for publishing the proceedings of the Congress.

RIDING IN A M0T0RB0AT Sensation in the II coord-Breaking Craft Is Like Flying. The Chicago Chronicle. The sensations" experienced on riding In one of the fastest motorboats yet produced are thus described by a yachtsman who made the trial trip on the Napier II on the Thames a few weeks ago. In which a speed equivalent to 3L26 mileo an hour was attained, although the boat Is but 40 feet long: "As the boat gained In speed, flattening her passengers against their back supports, as the propellers gripped and fairly hurled her forward, the mild roar of the engines ascended to a shriek; the sounds of her eight exhausts smote the ear like the continuous reports of a machine gun, mingled with the scream ot the river water, while the shore, dlm'y peen through a veil of powdered spray, flew by like a tratn. "There was no swing or plunge, no lurch or roll. The grand little craft pushed on her way on an absolutely even keel, and we had no sense of being driven, but a feeling as if the boat and crew were flying. There was absolutely no senwj of flotation, no water-borne feel ing whatsoever. If one shut one's eyes it was not difficult to imagine oneself on some tearing vehicle running wlftly on small rollers over a smooth steel road. Sustained, for the first time. It is like nn other experience to be bad in this world, but after the first half-minute or le there settles upon one a quite delightful sense of security and safety, so evenly and so truly does she run. The successful trial of the Napier II took place over a measured nautical mile under adverse circumstances, there be ing a strong wind and choppy sea. Her time for a nautical mile against the ude was two minutes and 25 seconds, and with the tide two minutes 12.6 seconds. This corresponds in the one case to a speed of 24.S knots, or 29.9 land miles an hour, and In the other to 37.14 knots, which I equivalent to 3L26 miles an hour. The previous best time on record In European water with this style of boat was a trifle under 2S knots, and In American waters 29.3 knots. This speed was made by the Challenger at Lake Worth In February. Since the Napier H made her record a French boat, the Palafeoto II, 'has equaled it on the Seine. The Napier II Is In her second season, having been a failure through break downs at first. She is but 40 feet long. She has twin screws driven by two 45 horse power motors. The bow has " a flare to turn off the crest of the bow wave, splash guards or "whiskers" be ing fitted as an extension of this flare The Napier II Is an excellent example of tbo marvelous results that have been attained In providing high-speed motor boats. She must be seen at full speed to be appreciated. Ordinary steam craft she passes by as a dragon fly darts by a droning beetle. She seems to fly over the water. A roar as of rapid-fire artillery, a smother of foam, a white streak, and she Is a mile away. Seen approaching stem on, driving at full power, with great cascades of snowy spray gushing from each side of her bow. she looks like some monster, shrieking, whltewinged butterfly of the paleozoic age skimming over the surface. RATS, DOGS, AND MATCHES A Merry Chase Causes Two Thousand Dollar Damage. Pittsburg Despatch. Two terrier dogs engaged In extermi nating rats on the third floor of a Pitts burg wholesale grocery house started a fire among a carload stock of matches and before the flames were extinguished the building and stock were damaged to the extent of J2000. After the flames were put out Ben. one of the dogs, was found suffocated with a rat still locked In his Jaws. The firm allowed the dogs to roam the building. Trie dogs were on the third floor, evidently attending to businefs. from the noises which reached the cars of three emplpyes of the Arm who were on the ground floor. The men heard the scrambling and barking of the dogs as they fought for the rats. There was a crash, to which the busy men paid no attention. Their work was broken In upon by a neighbor across the street, who discovered smoke and flames breaking out of the windows on the third floor. The three men attempted to reach the third floor, but were forced to beat a retreat by the sulphur fumes from the burning matches. An alarm brought firemen, who had a bard time confining the flame to the up per floor of the building. Minions of burning matches were thrown Into the street. Crowds were attracted to- the scene, and for hours many men and chil dren struggled to collect those that had not exploded. Old Maxim Up to Date New Tork World.

PRINTING OFFICE ATTACKED Investigation Caused by Cotton Scan dal May Reach All Departments. Graft in Buying Type setting Machines. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 21. It would not be surpris ing If a general investigation of all the Government departments should follow the probing Into the 'methods of the Bu reau of Statistics of the Department ot Agriculture and the investigation now In, progress In the Government Printing Of fice. So much fraud In so many different places has been brought to light as to cast a shadow over the entire Govern ment service, not alone In Washington but In the field. Graft has been uncov ered where everything was supposed to be running according to the law and regulations. Trusted officials have been found engaging In dishonorable traffic, and the result has been that countless rumors have been set afloat Involving other officials and other bureaus which have heretofore been above suspicion. Cotton Scandal May Spread. No man can say where the cotton scandal will lead to in the Department 01 Agriculture. rasty charges and more nasty insinuations are made against various officials who have had todo with the compilation of Government crop statistics, and until the Investigation or dered by the "President Is completed it will be Impossible to tell what additional officials will tall under suspicion and perhaps Into the hands of the law. There has been much complaint for many years about the Government crop re ports; It has been freely charged that me omciai statistics were grosslr Inaccu rate, but not until now has It been cnarged that these Inaccuracies were made purposely by designing employes. It is hard to believe that one man. !nr1e- handed and alone, has been able for years to Juggle the crop figures without me aia 01 an accomplice or the knowl edge of some of the men supposed to check up his work. Clerks Have Opportunities. In this connection, it should be said, that the Department of Agriculture has afforded splendid opportunities to dishon est clerks who may have sought to mis use official Information for their private gain. Secretary Wilson, the head of the department. Is an absolutely honest man. and all during his career In Government office, he has reposed confidence In his subordinates. But the Agricultural De partment Is peculiar. Each of its bureaus Is in charge of some scientific man. some man versed In some particular scientific line which fits him for that particular duty. Like most scientists, the heads of the bureaus of the Agricultural Depart ment devote themselves exclusively to their profession, and they aro poor ad ministrative officers. They expect the de tails of administration to take care of themselves, or else entrust such duties to a clerk. This being true, the dishonest clerk Is almost sure to have full swing. If he, cares to begin operations, for there Ik little danger that his chief will detect him. and there Is no one else to check him up. This condition exists In the Ag ricultural Department to a greater de gree than anywhere else In the Govern ment service, and It may be found that this laxity has led to trouble and scandal In more places than the Division of Sta tistics. Typesetting Machine Graft. The probing of the typesetting machine scandal In the Government Printing Of fice Is but one phase of what Is expected to be jr" thorough Investigation into the workings of that great and practically independent office. For years there has been rumor and report In Washington of rake-offs, of traffic in offices, and all sorts of corruption In connection with the printing office, and it must be admitted that that office affords untold opportuni ties to dishonest officials. The 'clearing up of the typesetting machine incident will not satisfy the public; It will not set at rest the persistent rumors about crooked contracts, about the evasion of the civil service law, and the raanv other improper practices. It will take 'further probing to put down the reports which are continually being given currency. The typesetting machine inquiry has served to bring to light the factional difference be tween the officials of the printing office. Now that one faction Is arrayed against the -other, the truth may be brought to light. Flaws In Interior Department. The Postofflce Department has been pretty thoroughly cleaned out; It does not need further attention now. But there should be an inquiry Into the way busi ness is transacted in most of the other departments, particularly the Interior Department. It is by no means certain that any enormous scandal would be unearthed, but any investigating commit tee that goes fearlessly to the bottom will bring to light scandals of a petty order and maladministration that is equally censurable, which must necessar ily lead to the dismissal of some officials and the transfer ot others. Doubtless as bad a condition prevails elsewhere in the Government service, for there are fre quent rumors, apparently well substanti ated, which would seem to warrant offi cial notice. Whether there is to be a general in vestigation or not. the clerical force of the various Government offices Is pretty well worked up. and there is an air of uneasiness which has not been evidenced before In many years. There Is' a feel ing that something Is coming, but no body knows what or when. ' Meaning of North Pole. Exchange. "Supposing that I succeed In finding the North pole, what good shall we derive from it?" said lieutenant-Commander Robert E. Peary, as he discussed bis plans for leaving New Tork. July 4, on the steamer Roosevelt In another effort to reach the place he has sought for several years. "I don't suppose there Is any money In It and although there Is a possi bility of finding new whaling grounds, it Is a possibility so remote as to be hard ly worth considering. But there are oth er reasons. We may. quite possibly, take soundings which win determine the gen eral features of the great polar ocean, and then there are 2.&.QG0 miles square of unknown land and sea. A new land may exist there a continent containing new fauna and even human beings as in telligent as ourselves. My discovery of the pole means additional prestige for my couatry which is worth all the hanfealps and all the sufferings my trip Is getag to cost. It Wouldn't Ilare Been Padcrewslcl.

For uniqueness, artistic beauty, action and practical demonstration this exhib it Is without a rival in the Fair. It was awarded all the grand and gold medal prizes at the St. Louis Exposition for wire rope and its various uses, and must be seen to be appreciated. Fair visitors who overlook this exhibit miss one ot the Tery beat exhibits in the entire Expo sition. The central figure or masterpiece In the Portland exhibit is the large spool of cable. 1H inches diameter. 22.000 feet long, weighing 137.00 pounds, and having a breaking strain of 175.0CO pounds. This cable was made for the Metropolitan Street Railway, of New York, and is the heav iest and longest cable made In one piece for street-railway service. It, required 5 horses to haul It through the streets. The- spool Is ten feet In diameter and eight feet wide. Is mounted on a turn table and revolves; On the outside flanges of the spool are two seven-foot diameter revolving disks, containing all of the various sixes and styles of rope made by the Broderick & Bascom Rope Company, presenting a very striking, handsome and artistic appearance. Around the spool Is a r&-foot diameter circular track on which Is run a mini ature spool of cable on a model of their "Jumbo" steel wagon, drawn by 30 minia ture horses, all mounted In a complete manner, running In opposite directions to cable and spool. There la also a train load of wire-rope supplies for the log ging country, drawn by a miniature loco motive. On the outside of the circular track is a miniature aerial tramway, showing the manner in which ore, timber, etc., are transported In midair. The wholo effect is a practical Illustration of what Is and can be done with wire rope. In the rear are two cabinet cases con taining five-Inch diameter "power" steel ropes, capable of sustaining 2.5C0.C00 pounds. These ropes revolve and present a handsome and catchy appearance. Above the cases are electric. signs which flash the name "power rope," In letters of varied hues, and attract general at tention. Throughout the exhibit are colls of "power" rope (yellow strand), famous for Its strength and lasting qualities amongst all users of wire fopes. A very Interesting feature of the ex hibit is the carving set made entirely from "power" steel rope. This is indeed BOMB MISSES MARK Sultan Escapes Unhurt, but Many Are Killed. MONARCH ALONE IS COOL Wonld-Be Assassin Threw Bomb as Abdnl Ilamld Left Mosque, Kill ing and Wounding Many. Hungarians Suspected. CONSTANTINOPLE, Friday, July 3. via Sofia. Bulgaria. July 22. The bomb which was Intended to blow up the Sul tan foil short and exploded about 30 yards from his majesty. The latter was at the time on the top step of the flight leading from the mosque. A panic Immediately seized the Sultan's entourage, and the court dignitaries rushed up and Implored Abdul Hamld to remain In the mosque. The Sultan, however. Insisted on proceed ing, and entered his carriage with a calm Bess net usually attributed to him, and, picking up the reins, drove himself to the rildlz Palace amid tfie cheers ot the ad miring officials. The explosion was heard as far. as the Pera quarter. Besides the soldiers in the vicinity, several horses were killed, carriages were smashed to matchwood and the windows of the pavilion reserved for the diplomatic corps were broken. The pavilion contained, among others, U. Grant Smith, second secretary of the American Legation here, who was ac companied by Captain Smiley, of the United States Army. No one vaa hurt In the pavilion with the exception of a few attendants.' who received some scratches from flying glass. Immediately after the Sultr.n had de parted a detachment of cavalry charged down the street parallel with the mosque from which the bomb was thrown In hopes of finding the author ot the attempt, who, however, has not yet been discovered. The whole population is Indignant at the infamous and dastardly deed. Although the outrage occurred at 1 P. M- ths fact that .His Majesty's, life had been In danger did not become generally known until night, when It aroused, widespread excitement, as it was the first bomb explosion ot this character that ever occurred In Con stantinople. The majority of those killed were soldiers who lined the road near the mosque. The authorities are greatly dis turbed and unable to explain how the would-be regicide passed through the cordon of troops which always bars the roads leading' to the mosque so soon as the Sultan leaves the palace. The commission appointed to Inquire Into the crime has ascertained that the explosion of the bomb caused the death of Si persons and wounded 57. In addi tion. 5S horses were Injured. Preliminary Investigation shewed that the outrage was committed by two Hungarians. 'Preserved by Providence." LONDON. July 22. A dispatch received by the Turkish 'Embassy says: "As the Sultan was leaving the mosque at the conclusion of the ceremony of Se tamMk a bomb burst Into the yard.

In the rear and on top ot the exhibit is a painting. 20- feet long by 12 feet high, representing a typical logging scene in the redwood country ot California. The painting Is well done and gives a re alistic Idea of how logging Is carried on in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Cali fornia. Every California logger will rec ognize It at once. In front of the exhibit are pyramids of wire-rope paperweights set on a base and other' towns Interested in securing a daily passenger train between Wood burn and Springfield. At present there is a dally train only as far as Silver ton, the rest of the towns on the Springfield branch being accommodated by" freight trains carrying a coach. The delegations were aided by the presence of Colonel E. Hofer. who, as president of the Willamette Valley Development League, assisted in presenting a peti tion signed by nearly all the business men from the towns on that line of railroad. ' The delegates had an ap pointment with J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the Harriman lines, at 2 o'clock. Another meeting has been ar ranged by those interested early this week, when It Ls expected final action will be taken. The petitioners repre sent that the people along that line of railroad generally very much desire a dally train service to and from Port land. The railroad officials seem In clined .to grant the request, but want to postpone the time for putting on the new train, owing to some pending chnnges In their time tables. This train service Is very much needed, as people living at Brownsville and other towns on the East Side line now drive over to take the trains on the main line, finding the train service on the branch entirely too slow. MISTOOK "F1TZ" FOR NEGRO Memory of Former Fight Returns With Knockout Punch. There's a story told of Bob Fltzslm mons, dating back some years ago when he was meeting all comers at four rounds. A big Irishman named Jerry Slattery (not the man now fight ing In the Northwest) was doing a lit tle fighting around Pittsburg, and when the Cornishman reached the Smoky City Slattery applied for the Job ot trying to stay four rounds and having his block: knocked off. A week, previous Slattery had had a fight with a negro, knocking him out. and as a consequence felt very chesty. Fltx took him on. and, being In a humorous mood, had all sorts of fun with the Irishman for a minute or two. But, tiring of the play, he shot one over that rang the belL Slattery was dead to the world for fully five minutes, and when he came to he Jumped to his feet, and yelling.

Well, Fitz knocked Slattery Into the middle of last week. When he came out of the trance into which Fitz had thrown." him his mind was a perfect blank so far as events following his fight with the negro a week before was concerned. He imagined that he was still fight ing the black man. and explained to his seconds after he had fully recovered that when the knockout blow landed his fight with the negro began to work Its way in detail through his befud dled brain, and when his eyes opened he thought he saw the negro, standing before him.
