SOCIALISTS TORN BY FEUD Police Will Break Up Convention If Disorder Breaks Out. . BERLIN. Sept. 16. (Special.) Elaborate 'police arrangements have been taken to Insure order and to prevent disturbances that are expected to break out in the an nual Socialist party, which convenes here today. Fears of violence are entertained by the authorities owing to the disrupted condition of the party which is torn by personal rivalries and weakened by the intolerance of the sections representing the various shades of Socialism through out the empire. Each faction will strive to attain control of the conference. The authorities are well Informed as to the possibilities of trouble and, while no show of force will greet the delegates. on the first sign of disorder the police will take a hand in the proceedings.'

CITIES WANT CHEAP 3IEAT Conflict of Interest Between "Urban and Rural Germany. BERLIN, Sept. 16. The decision of the City Council of Berlin to call a conven tion of the representatives of the cities of Germany to demand of the government. In the name of their populations, that meat and food animals be allowed to come in free of duty, marks a new period In tho pressure of the town populations for larger Influence upon the government. The agitation goes deep Into German political and social life. It is a contest of industrial and com mercial interests, for a dominating voice in the government against the landed In terests. The townpopulatlon equalled that or the country in JsiQ, but the census f 1SW showed that the populations of towns of about 2000 and above amounted to IJ-10 per cent of tho population of the country. Chancellor von Buclow said in the Reichstag early this year that the populations of towns of more than 8000 were M per cent of the total population Although this is so, the cities and those thickly packed Industrial centers where one mining or factory town blends Into another, as in the Rhlneland, have less than at third of the representation In the Reiohstag. This is because there has been no re-dlstrlctlng of the Reichstag since the formation of tho empire and it is slnoe then that Germany's Immense industrial development has taken place.

I am authorized to ray that, notwithstand ing what differences of opinion may exist In Japan over the terms of peace, thore is a strong, united and friendly feeling toward the United States and deep appreciation of trie earnest, impartial and sincere good will which has attended the efforts of President Roosevelt.

RAINIER A CLOSE SECOND Professor srcAdle, of Weather Bu- r reau, Finds Figures Given by Late Professor 3IcCIuro-to Be Nearly Correct. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.-JSpeclal.-A report fraught with deep Interest to the people of tho Pacific Coast has Just been forwarded to Washington by Professor Alexander McAdle, who Is at tho head of tho Weather Bureau Service in this sec tion of the country. Tho report states that, according to measurements made during the Summer of this year. Mount Whitney, situated in California, Is the highestpeak in tMe United States, it reaches 14.502 feet above the level of the sea. Mount Rainier, situated in Wash ington, ranks sesond, its height being H.394 feet The figures for Mount Shasta are not definitely fixed, but are known to be between 14,200 and 14.SS0. This report will settle the question, which has occupied' the attention of sci entists on the Pacific Coast for several years. Professor McAdle states that his figures may be considered as final, for tho variation will not bo more than a few feet In cither case. Mount Rainier was measured in July, and at that time the announcement was made that It overtopped Whitney. Calcu lations have shown this to have been in correct. The figurea for Rainier were found to correspond closely to thoso ob tained by Professor Edgar McClure. tho well-known scientist, who lost his life on tho great peak after he had completed his measurements. Professor McAdle states that the work of McClure was the most accurate until the official survey was made this Summer for the Government. The report of Dr. McAdle contains much of great interest to the Northwest, but he feels that it would not be proper to give It out for publication until it has reached the authorities at Washington. It may be stated, however, that as the re sult of extensive researches Professor Mc Adle bas corrected a number of errors which have been commonly made by the writers of the history and geography of Washington and Oregon. Matters of nomenclature have also been cleared up. Tie designation "Tacoma" for "Rainier" is dismissed as false. Dr. McAdle has found a copy of the book written by explorer Vancouver, soon after his visit to the North Pacific in 1792.V Van couver rofers to Mount Rainier, which he gave Its name in honor of an Admiral of the British navy who was a friend of his.
