OREGONIAN .NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept. 2 Many complaints are
reaching Washington because the Rose
burg Land Ofllcc remains closed, and all
public land business in Southwestern Ore
gon Is at a standstill. On January 9, 1905,
Register Bridges and Receiver Booth, of
Roseburg. were suspended, this action
olosing the ofllce. They have ever since
'boon under suspension, though it is known
that both are to be dismissed.
Secretary Hitchcock has not shown any
concern over the fact that land business
an the Roseburg district has been stopped
and has displayed little Interest in the
appointment ot a new Kegister ana ite
fcolver, especially since Senator Fulton
tflatty declared he would prevent the con
jflrmation of any men appointed by the
Secretary over his protest. Information
coming to the Interior Department in the
iSearotary's absence Indicates that a great
mass of land business has been accumu

clamor for the appointment of new offi
cers in order that the office may be rc

on pn these requests.
Thej are set aside, to await the Sec

AIUMY GETS NEWS AT TiAST
Xcutral Zone Being Arranged and
Peace Industries Revived.
GIJNSHU PASS, Manchuria, Sept 2.
The first intimation of an agreement be
tween the peace envoys has been printed
ia the army organ. From various sources
the news of the agreement percolated In
the communities of Kochlatien and Gun
shu Pass August 31. but comment was
withheld pending military sanction for its
publication and the news is yet too
vaguely known or realized to note Its ef
fect. Arrangements, however, have al
ready been instituted for the establish,
znent and maintenance of a neutral zone
between the armies pending their demobil
ization. The army lias had ample time to accus.
torn .Itself to the Idea of peace. The men
have followed the discussion as closely
as the delayed dispatches permitted, and
It Is evident that the idea of paying an
Indemnity was the most unwelcome of
the Japanese conditions.
The foreign military attaches are ex
pecting to bo recalled and are arranging
for formal leave-takings of the comman
ders. The industrial and manufacturing
Interests, disorganized by the war, are al
ready preparing to resume their enter
prises. The news of peace, as contained in Mr.
"WItte's message to Emporor Nicholas,
was communicated to the troops today
and produced a good impression. The
probability of soon returning home awak
ened sincere feelings of gratitude toward
Mr. Wltte. who has so well defended the
honor and dignity of Russia in the Far
East, saving at the same time tens of
thousands of Russian lives, particularly
valuable to the country at the moment of
the awakening to better things.
The hope was expressed that peace
would be lasting and satisfactory to both
combatants. The opinion here Is that the
ending of the lS-tnonths war, so unfortu
nate to Russia, was due to Mr. WItte's
energy and firmness.
VLADIVOSTOK GETS NEWS.

TAGGART NOTA DRUNKARD
Fellow-Officers Rebut Charge of Al
coholism and Insanity.
WOOSTER, O., Sept 2. (Spoclal.)-Con-
trary to expectations, evidence In rebut
tal In the Taggart divorce onse was not
concluded today, and as it stands, it will
probably be finished before Tuesday, when
the arguments are to start. A numoer
of witnesses in Captain Taggarfs behalf
are to be called Monday, among them
Howard Taggart and .Major Newberry, of

The testimony this morning was all by
deposition, and all very favorable to Cap
tain Taggart Part of the session was
taken up In the reading of the deposition
of Major Charles G. Morton, who at Fort
Leavenworth was the Major of Captain
Taggarfs battalion. His testimony was
offered In rebuttal and to materially
strengthen the-charges ot tho plaintiff in
regard to the. alleged conspiracy on the
part of Colonel Miner and Mrs. Taggart
whereby Captain Taggart was confined In
the hospital at Fort Leavenworth on the
charge of acute alcoholism, wnlch was
placed ngainst him on the hospital rec
ords. When General Miner went on the stand
for the defense, he swore that this charge
was not true, but that he had been con
fined in order to obsorve his mental con
dition. Then Colonel Van Hoff, the sur
geon In charge of the hospital, in his
deposition. Bald that Taggart was not a
victim of acute alcoholism, and that there
was nothing wrong with his mental con
dition. Now comes Major Morton by dep
osition and swears that be was Intimately
associated with Captain Taggart during
most of his military career, and particu
larly so during the trouble at Fort Leav
enworth, and that he never knew or heard
of Taggarfs being Intoxicated, and that
there was absolutely nothing wjrong with
him, mentally or physically, when he was
confined at Fort Leavenworth.
THOUSAND - MILE TROLLEY
Electric Cars Will Soon Run From
New York to Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sopt 2. The Record-Herald
today says: Continuous trolley
rides from Chicago to New York over
two routes, and between Chicago and
Cincinnati, are among tho transporta
tion probabilities of the near future.
William S. Reed,' a builder of rail
roads, who has an office in tho First
National Bank, has organized a syn
dicate which has purchased the Chi
cago Electric Traction Company, and
ha organized two other companies
which will completo the gaps which
now bar a continuous ride on electric
roads betweon the cities named.
Mr. Reed asserts that these trans
portation feats will be made possible
by next June, and that the traveler
may go from Chicago to New York by
way of Buffalo, and then through New
York State, or may branch off at
Cleveland and take a long-distance
airing through Pennsylvania, and so
on to the metropolis.
The Chicago Electric Traction Com
pany, which is now In the hands of a
receiver In Judge Kohlsaafs court, Is
to be taken out of litigation, and will
then bo absorbed by the Chicago &
Southern Traction Company, n new In
diana corporation, which Is capitalized
for $2,000,000. This will be Increased
to $4,000,000. The latter company Is
to construct a line from Harvey to
Kankakee, a distance of 36 miles.
Other lines then will take up the
connection, completing the route be
tween Chicago and New Ycirk.

LORDSHIP OF ASIA
Purpose of New Anglo-Japan
ese Alliance.
RUSSIA IS ENEMY FEARED
Ameer of Afghanistan Changes Tune,
but " Kitchener Distrusts Him.
What Was Czar's Mes
sage to Kaiser?
LONDON. Sept ' 2. (Special.)-Great
Britain and Japan are in league for the
lordship of Asia. Two great facts stand
out conspicuously In the Asiatic policy of
Great Britain, now'. that the mists have
rolled away from the Portsmouth -conference.
One Is' the enlarged alliance with
Japan and thfe othor the new programme
on India. Perhaps the two should be con
sidered In solidarity, since each Is a fac
tor distinctively anti-Russian In origin
and tendency.
. No TruKr in Afghan Friendship.
By the alliance In Its new form the con
tracting powers guarantee the status quo
In Asia, each pledging to defend the other
If its Interests are attacked by any power
or combination of powers. Russia Is the
state whose aggressions they have most
to fear In that part of the world, for she
will take the earliest opportunity to re
coup herself for the loss of Manchuria.
With the collapse of the Russian mili
tary bubble, the Afghan ruler changed his
tune and sent flattering messages to Cal
cutta. But he could not deceive the grim
Kitchener. The latter has no contldence
In the Ameer, and the "buffer state" is
no longer regarded as likely to help check
the Cossacks, should they try to descend
upon the fertile plains of India.
May Give France Free Hand.
As illustrating the international effect
of the permanent settlement the Parts
press points complacently to the Morocco
Sultan's compliance, under German
prompting, with the demand of France
for the release of the Franco-Algerian cit
izen in whose behalf a military demon
stration was threatened. The Matin con
siders Von Buelow's course slgnlncant of
a change of heart. Other Journals would
not be surprised If the Kaiser, "Imitating
the magnanimity of the Japanese," was
to adopt the whole programme of Rou
vler and bid the French go ahead in Mo
rocco. This line of comment is irritating to
Berlin, but William and his chancellors
have profited by experience, and to con
ciliate France Is the order of the day.
"Nicholas sent an effusive message to
Mr. Roosevelt, and the world knows tho
text of It" says a week-end review.
"What the world would rather see Is the
text of tho communjention he sent Will
lam, thanking him for the advice that
stormy night off BJorke to refuse indem
nity. But that did not go by wire."
WILL IMITATE HOOSEVELT.
Kaiser Will Go Down in Lake's Pat
ent -Submarine ,Bont.
KIEL, Germany, Sept 2. (Special.) A
new submarine boat of 100 tons has Just
been launched at the Germania wharves.
It is intended to rush work on it as much
as possible, as the Kaiser has signified
his deMre to sink in it before the coming
of Winter. The Kaiser has taken a deep
interest In submarines ever since his In
terview with Simon Lake, and the present
boat Is declared to be of that type.
Two features mark the Lake typo of
submarine boats their ability to go to
great depthsvind to run along the bottom
on wheels ojrated with Interior machin
ery. On the bottom, the wheels steer the
boat In much the same way as the for
ward wheels of an automobile guide it
on a country road. The Kafser Is declared
to be desirous of studying the Lake boat
from the viewpoint of practical expe
rience. For hours he has pored over the
plans of the. boat and he has now Inves
tigated every detail of Its construction.
The Lakes, it is said, have also been at
work on a searchlight In the effort to con
trol the rays under water. Heretofore,
the great difficulty In operating an elec
tric searchlight under the sea has been
the impossibility of centralizing the rays
on a given object The water refracts
the rays so that .they are lost a few
yards away, and the depths beyond are
as dark as ever. In one of his teats made
In Berlin, Mr. Lake says, he descended
to a depth of 137 feet and that he passed
under a battleship without being discov
ered. The Kaiser Is said to be deeply Inter
ested In this deep-water feature of the
boat a well as Its ability to roll along
the bottom, and It la declared that prob
ably, with characteristic braverj't he will
Insist on descending to the greatest depth
of which the craft is capable. It Is prob
able that Count von Waldersee will ac
company him, but It is not likely that the
submarine voyage will extend out of the
small bight that opens Into Kiel Bay at
Klcihavcn. 30 miles from Kiel.
FRANCE DEMANDS INDEMNITY
Sultan Must Pay and Apologize for
Outrage on Bouzlan.

W BUILD TO COOS BAY
INDEPENDENT LINE FROM ROSE
BURG PROPOSED.
F. J, Blakely Tells of the Projected'
. Railway Backed by Kaat
era Capital.
, '
It hTv'ms altogether probable thatE.
'H. Harrlman will not be wlthbut oppo
sition when his projected line into the
Coos Bay country .becomes a. reality;
There are at present two others who
propose to build frpm Roseburg to
Coos Bay In spite of the announcement
that the Harrlman line will be extend
ed from Drain to Marshfleld.
F. J. Blakely, of Roseburg, president
of the Light Water & Tower Company
of that city, and owner of large prop
erty Interests at. Roseburg and Coos
Bay. was In Portland Inst evening and
stated that It was practically certain
that a line would be built connecting
Roseburg and Coos Bay. Mr. Blakely
Is associated with C F. Nilcs, president
of the Security,- Savings & Trust Com
pany, of Toledo. O., and other Eastern
men, representing heavy capital. They
have been considering the proposition
of building from Roseburg to Coos Bay
for some time nnd now stand ready to
construct the line. Walter J. Snoc
roa.i. formerly chief engineer for .the
Toledo, St Louis & Kansas City arid
other Eastern lines, has Just returned
from an Inspection of the proposed
route with most favorable reports.
They propose to Incorporate and
build to Coo Bay and then extend the
lino through the Cascades at the Dia
mond Lake Pass and connect with some
other line in the Klamath region. This
done. It Is Intended to construct a line
Irom Roseburg to Portland, practi
cally paralleling the Southern Pacific
"There is an Intense feeling among the
people of Coos Bay that they ought to
have an Independent line running Into
that region." said Mr. Blakely. "They
consider that the line now being surveyed
by Mr. Harrlman from Drain to Marsh
fleld would simply make Coos Bay a way
point and furnish him with a water level
to San Francisco. The people of Rose
burg. too. are dissatisfied with the proj
ect They., realize that Roseburg Is the
rational terminus for n line .running out
of the Coos Bay region."
The route which the new road would
follow would be over the old survey made
by the Spreckels Interests some years
ago.
It Is also reported that a man named
Corksetter. at one time connr?ted with
the Denver & Rio Grande, is looking at
the same route. Mr. Blakely states that
he knows nothing of this proposition, but
If others are ready to build the road his
people will not Interfere.
"What we want." he said. "Is to see
the Coos Bay country opened up,. It. Is
a great region, and If others do not con
struct the road, we shall do so."

LIVE WIRE KILLS TWO
Dying Lineman Suspended Thirty
Feet Above Street.
CHICAGO, Sept 2. Two accidental elec
trocutions occurred here today. Robert
Allen, an electrician. 30 years old, while
repairing telephone wires. In some man
ner grasped hold of a wire heavily
charged. He was held to the wire, 30
feet above the street for Jin Interval,
clinging convulsively. Then he fell to
the ground and was dead when picked up.
Nels Anderson, motor engineer for the
Illinois Steel Company, was electrocuted
by coming in contact with a Hvo wire
which fed tho motor connection with a
hoisting crane. Anderson was seated on
an arm of the crane, doing repair work,
when a sudden Jar of the heavy metal
piece caused him to lose his balance. He
was directly over a pot of naolten metal
and the only support within reach was the
heavily charged wire. He knew that
touching it meant instant jleatb, but It
looked as if he chose the easiest of two
deaths.

President H. W Goodo and Colonel
Henry E. Dosch will remain on the Su
perior Jury of Awards at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, and another member
will be appointed In the place ot H. B.
Hardt assistant to Director Dosch. of the
Division of Exhibit. The matter of the
Superior Jury of Awards was definitely
settled yesterday afternoon, when a com
mittee from the Oregon State Commis
sion held a consultation with President
H. W. Goode. The members of the com
mittee were J. H. Alberts, R. Scott and
fVW. E. Thomas. The other two members
f the Superior Jury ot Awards aro ex-
avor George H. Williams, chairman.
and Theodore B. Wilcox.
Statement by Goode.
President Goode stated to the commit
tee that Mr. Hardt was not a member of
the Superior Jury of Awards. Inasmuch
as he had not been confirmed by the Ore
gon State Commission when his name
was submitted for approval. President
Goode and Director Dosch were confirmed
by the State Commission several weeks
ago. Later the name of Mr. Hardt was
submitted, and then the State Commission
refused to confirm President Goode" and
Colonel Henry E. Dosch as members of
the Superior Jury of Awards. One of the
members of the committee that called on
President Goode stated that the Jury
would stand as It Is, with another Juror
lo be appointed.
A communication from E. Rosewater,
editor of the Omaha Bee, which charged
H. B. Hardt with irregularities while con
nected with the Division of Exhibits at
the Trans-MIsslssIppl Exposition, was be
fore the committee. It Is probable that
the matter will be dropped, as Hardt re
ceived the Indorsement of nearly all ot
the officials. Including President Wattles,
when the exposition was over.
Hardt Accuses Rosewater.
Mr. Hardt state that he aroused the
enmity of Mr. Rosewater, through re
fusing to b.e directed by the latter
when he was following tho Instruc
tions of President Wattels. Rosewater
was a member of the executive committee-
After that he says ho was the
object of many bitter attacks In the
Omaha Bee. The whole affair wad
threshed over In the Omaha papers In
1S9S and Mr. Hardt has documents to
prove that he was completely exoner
ated of all the charges that were pre
ferred against him. Charges of graft
were made against him by H. S. Coch
rane, ot the Schofleld-Schurmer Oil
Company and by H. A. Searle, of. the
Monarch Axle Grease Company, both
exhibitors at the Fair. Hardt has In
his possession autograph letters, from
Cochrane and Searle', which, he says,
completely exonerate him. The letters
state that they had never .known any
wrongdoing on the part of Mr. "Hardt
and the allegations wero made
through, unfortunate misinformation.
The letters were published in the
Omaha World-Herald.
Speaks Highly or Hurdt.
President Goode and Director of Ex
hibits Dosch stated yesterday that
they had the most Implicit contldence
In the absolute Integrity and honesty
of Mr. Hardt, and that his work with
the Lewis and Clark Exposition had
been characterized with unusual clean
ness and thoroughness. They said his
services were almost Invaluable to the
Exposition, not only on account of his
experience, but also because of his
trustworthiness. They stated that
President Wattles and E. E. Bruce,
manager of the division of exhibits at
the Fair, both recommended him in the
most glowing terms.
The State Commission at the meeting
yesterday afternoon withdrew their
aproval of the rules and regulations
under which the awards will be made,
which provide for the exhibitors fur
nishing the division of exhibits three
samples. It Is understood that the
committee of the State Commission
also discussed this matter with Presi
dent Goode and that the question will
be settled shortly. The Exposition
management hns no desire to oppose
the best Interests of the exhibitors and
the state and foreign commissioners
by the system of awarding the medals.
This question will be decided by the
committee on exhibits, which will hold
a meeting within a few days.

LABOR AVERTS SPLIT.
Chicago Federation Rescinds Edict
About Labor Day Parade.
CHICAGO, Sept 2. The threatened dis
ruption of the Labor Day parade In this
city has been averted. Tho Chicago Fed
eration of Labor had issued an edict that
no musicians save those wearing a uni

pointed a committee to see that no mu
sician wearing another uniform appeared
In the parade. If one was found, his mu
sical Instrument was to be taken away
from him and he wag to be removed
from the parade.
The teamsters and freight handlers, who
had made contracts with bands which
did not wear the Uniform declared by the
Federation of Labor to be the only cor
rect thing, declared that there would bo
trouble If anybody attempted to take
their musical Instruments away. The
feeling grew bitter and for a tlmo threat
ened to ruin the parade.
The Federation this afternoon decided
to" recall Its edict and musicians in all
varieties of uniforms will be allowed In
the line of march.
Most of the largest organizations, such
as the carpenters and printers, will have
picnics on Monday. The teamsters will
attempt to muster every one of their
members to walk. Their purpose is to
show that they were not discouraged by
the recent strike.

deliveries Monday. Milk delivered Sun

must serve until Tuesday morning.

Sunday morning on- the Celtic. The
Marine Hospital doctors who boarded tho
Celtic at quarantine, ordered his return
on the Celtic

to prepare for the voyage Friday morn
ing. A few moments later a telegram ar-"
rived from KHroy's brother, who said
that, although ho was coming East on the
fastest "train he could get, he would bo
unable to reach New York until 15 min
utes ;af ter the Celtic sailed.
Xa'a broken voice, Thomas pleaded with"
the Inspectors that he be allowed" to re
main until the next sailing. They were
much affected' by the unusual nrfture of
the case and telephoned the steamship

bill, and Kilroy was allowed to remain
behind a few days. His brother arrived at
