IS TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 7, 1906. D1IEI SEEKS CARD Will Not Box Jack Johnson Until He Grows. IS NOT A NEGRO-HATER While White Men Wait and Fame Is Great No Man of Color Will Help the Gate, Ho Says. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6. (Special.) Jack O'Brien will not connent to box Jack Johnson, whose manager, Zick Abrams, placed $2500 with the sporting editor ol the Bulletin Tuesday to bind a match. O'Bri en's Pacific Coast representative. Jack Cribbins. sent a statement this morning which will be read with interest. He says O'Brien Is not a negro-hater and will fight Johnson, but not until he has done some thing to make him a card. Cribbins does not believe that the public is anxious for such a match, for he writes: -'Mr. O'Bri en's future matchmaking is left to my discretion, and I can assure you I will not consider Abrams methods of advertising his dark one, whUe I have offers for con tests with men like Marvin Hart, Tommy Ryan. Sam Bergcr and Twin Sullivan. "I cannot see where Jack Johnson's last performances with men like McVey or Sandy Ferguson, and his defeat by Mar vin Hart, can give Mr. Abrams ajiy oppor tunity for a challenge. I'm positive the name of Jack Johnson will not help any 'gate' .in San Francisco. "O'Brien has no idea of 'retiring. and in due. time, when I can see Johnson as a card, regardless of his color. Mr. Abrams can rest assured that he and his pugilist will be accommodated." O'BRIEN MAY FIGHT RYAN Negotiations Pending Which May Bring Fight in San Francisco. CHICAGO. Jan. 6. (Special.) That Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and Tommy Ryan, will bo the center Of attraction in the pugilistic world before very long, can be gathered from the present chances of the two being matched to participate in a 20-round contest at James Coffroth's club in California. The Philadelphian, it Is believed, .would undoubtedly like much to have Ryan as his first opponent, as between these two men lies the middle weight championship. O'Brien, after his recent victor over Fitzslmmons expressed his willingness to take on Ryan as his next adversary. O'Brien says lie is anxious to have a clear record of the three championships that he now can battle for. He holds the light heavyweight title and there is some question about whether ho or Marvin Hart -is heavyweight champion. Besides endeavoring to be the holder of this title, O'Brien is eager to add the middleweight crown to Ills list. The only way he can procure it is by defeating Tommy Ryan. When Ryan heard of the Phlladelphlan's eagerness to get into the ring with him. he immediately urged bis manager. Jack Curley, to attend to the affair. Negotia tions for the match are now pending and it Is expected that before long it will be clinched. , Ryan says 1jq will hercady to take -nn O'Brien by the first of March, when the latter's theatrical contracts expire.

COUNTRY SETTLING DOWN Black Hundreds Call for Massacre - of Rebels Rebels Postpone Ac tion Till Spring Siberia Demands Home Rule. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 7. (Special.) Tho statement was made last night that the new imperial Douma will' be sum moned on March 3, tho annjversary of tha freeing of the serfs of Russia. On tho Douma the reactionaries and the -bureaucrats are now basing all their hopes. If there is anything that will placate the people and put an end to the present un happy revolutionary movement. It will bo the calling of a national assembly. If a date -for summoning the Douma has really been agreed upon and tho an nouncement of the fact is made. It may have a good effect In bringing order out of chaos. The civil war has como to an end In most cities, but the peasant uprisings and the war In tho Baltic provinces are still causes for a great deal of uneasiness on tho part of tho government. Tho situa tion of the railways Is also far from Fat Isfactory. There Is hardly a district that is working and several of the roads are In the hands of the strikers and no travel Is permitted except under the permission of strikers committees. Gradually, how ever, the troops are gaining the upper hand In nearly all the disturbed districts, but it will be Impossible to bring about anything like order within at least two montVt. Before that time expires thero may He further disturbances In tho cities, which will cause the revolutionists In the provinces to renew the struggle. Douma May Restore Peace. The Douma. however, may rolvc tho problem. If It Is capable of solution. The representatives of tho people may wrest enough recognition of their rights to satisfy the people generally. It Is under stood as well, that Premier Witte will resign once the Douma meets and this will give the Douma an opportunity to put into operation a new system of govern ment. Reactionary influence Is shown In the congress of delegates from the "Black Hundred" of 15 cities, which has been In session here. The congress adopted a res olution calling on tho Czar to restore ab solutism In its old form and calls on him to suppress the revolution by massacre on an appointed day of all the revolu tionists. Poles, Armenians, Jews and other elements of disorder. The congress also has directed a circular to all the local "Black Hundred" originals, notify ing them to be ready to inaugurate a massacre of all sympathizers with the progressive movement. This circular con culdcs with the words: "Millions must die to save Russia, but the death sacri fice is best for the fatherland." Th Tjnrernment ha forbidden all meet ings until the Douma Is summoned. This may result in trouble, as the right of holding meetings was guaranteed by the manifesto of October .. The Prefect of Police has now seen fit to suspend' opera tion of that section of the manifesto, and the people are certain to resent this. Rebels Will Await Spring. There is a disposition of many revolu tionists, however, to postpone any action against the government until Spring. The severity of Winter Is one reason for the plan of being postponed. The agitation will be kept up, however. If the armed revolution Is postponed, and the leaders believe they can gain thousands of sup porters before Spring. All Siberia in Revolt. Advices received last night and early today report the usual number of disor ders. None of them I? very werlous. how ever. At Tomsk, a force of armed revo lutionists seised the town officials be fore" they could even notify the authori ties at St. Petersburg. The terrorism to which the revolutionist? along the Siberi an railroad have resorted has made Jt necessary to declare martial law in that section. Tho road is In the hands of the revolutionists", who decide who shall bo allowed to travel over the railroad. With out an order from the committee no one Is allowed to ride. A deputation of citizens from Irkutsk. Siberia, has arrived here to present a request to the government to grant au tonomy to Siberia. The people ask that a Viceroy be appointed for Siberia and that a committee be named to deal with Siberian affairs. HERMANN IS SHOWED UP AKIll Alt IN WASHINGTON IS DE LAYED BY STORM.

EUROPE IN DREAD OF WAR Britain Suspects Ivalsmrof Aiming to Cause Crisis With Francelie May Claim Italy's Aid as an Ally.' WASHINGTON. Jan. S. (Special.) The agitation in Europe over the coming Mo roccan conferenco and the result It roay brlnff has spread to this country and offi cials here are now deeply Interested in the matter because of the recently devel oped fact that tho American delegation has become the most prominent factor of the gathering. It has been believed hero that the vari ous European governments which aro so deeply Interested In the conference, not ably France and Germany; had agreed to a programme which would be adhered to rigidly. The possibility of a spilt between these two governments on some of tho questions Involved may throw the United States into a position where its delegates with their votes will have the power to settle the issue. In that event. It Is con sidered, the position of the United States may become embarrassing. It Is learned on good authority that the United States Government will do every thing in its power to bring about a peace ful settlement of the Issues which will be discussed at the conference. From this it appear? that President Roosevelt has again determined to use all his power in keeping the world at peace. The difficul ties of the situation are great and the American mission will undoubtedly have much work to do. FRESH ALARM. OF COMING WxVR Britain Wonders "Whether Kaiser Is Playing for Fight. LONDON. Jan. 6. (Special.) With the Morocco conference at Algeclras only ten days off. there Is a deplorable revival of alarmist feeling in London. Paris and Berlin concerning the outlook. The ques tion asked. In all the capitals is: Will Germany create an Impasse at Algeclras, throwing the whole Moroccan dilute back into the dangerous complications of the last Spring? Only William I can ans wer. Apparently a section of German opinion Is not a little disturbed by the way events are shaping. There are yellow journals in Berlin as well as In Paris, and their unpleasant talk has caused German bnnk ers to put forth tranquillzing statements concerning the Emperor's New Year's speech to his Generals. Tho mere fact that sensational publications receive such serious treatment from financiers Indi cates the present instability of public con fidence as to a satisfactory outcome of the conference. No one need doubt that the studied re ticence of the British press concerning the conference reflects the grave viow taken in Downing street. Columns of dispatches from Madrid. Paris and Berlin are printed to show how this matter is regarded at those points and by common consent the press refrains from adding an ounce to the normal weight of respon sibility resting upon the government, which is pledged to support France at Algeclras and after. Long-headed diplo mats in London continue to believe that reasonable considerations of dynasty and commerce are so patent that the Em peror will avoid a rupture, provided the proceedings at Algeclras do not spell humiliation for Germany. Europe is coming to the conclusion that the Emperor is not so much of a diplo mat as he Is a soldier, and that he has found it out. The present feeling Is that his relgo has been a succession of foiled ambitions and disappointments. His army is larger by 1.CO9.O0O men than when he came to the throne, and he has been .able to keep it at the Von Moltke level of efficiency. Already he regards His navy as a match for any in the world, pave England?, and with words of pcaco In his mouth and Infinite palaver for America and Russia, he Is pushing on with naval construction that will cost more than 5C0.0GO.0CO. ITALY IN DELICATE FOSITION Germany Mny Claim Aid Under Terms of Alliance. ROME. Jan. 6. Interest here in the conference on Moroccan reforms Is grow ing. This Is due to the Importance of her delegate, the Marquis Vlscounti Vcnosta. who. when he was Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, concluded an agreement with France by which Italy abandoned her claims on Morocco In favor of France, receiving in exchange the help of France In Tripoli. At that lime Germany had shown no interest In Morocco, while Italy consid ered herself free to so act. Morocco not being Included in the agreement of the triple alliance concerning' the equilibrium of the Mediterranean. Now Germany, It is said, maintains that any question, even f It were not contemplated by the triple alliance, comes within the terms of the treaty and that. If Germany Is attacked by another power, the other two members of tho triple alliance, Austria and Italy, aro compelled to assist her with arms. Thus the situation of Italy In the confer ence Is becoming more delicate, as the conference may lead to war, though the prospects at present point toward peace. Thero Is much speculation here as to the. attitude the United States will take. Several Journalists have endeavored to Interview Ambassador White with regard to this, but ho has refused to be quoted. Mr. White will leave Naples January 22. on board the Princess Irene, on his way to Algeclras. GERMANY AVOIDS FRICTION Book on 3Iorocco Will Give No Cause for Irritation. BERLIN. Jan. 6. The German Foreign Ofllce book on Morocco, which will be laid before the Reichstag next week, con tains scarcely more than a tenth of the documents relating to the subject. Those selected are designed to rectify some Im pressions produced by the French book. Everything of an irritating nature will be omitted, as It is regarded as unwise to. publish on the eve of the Moroccan conference documents that might cause strife or produce a mood in the represent atives of the powers unconduclvc to. calm dlscupsion. . Religious Liberty in Morocco. ROME. Jan. 6. In asking Austria to present to the conference on Moroccan reforms a proposition for the religious liberty of Morocco. Pope Plus fa follow ing the plan of his predecessor, who, through Cardinal Nina, then papal secre tary of state, made a similar proposition to the conference held at Madrid In 1880. citing as a precedent the protocol of tho Berlin Conrress. which, in. article 62. p3- tabllshed the religious liberty of all Otto, man subjects". WILL OITOSE FRENCH CLAIM Germany Wants International Con trol of Morocco Police. LONDON. Jan. 6. According to Of ficial Information received' In JLondon from Berlin, Germany not only desires that all the poxvers .shall participate In tho execution of reforms In Morocco, but that the work of watching the frontier shall be divided' among them, thus realizing the fears expressed by an official of" the Foreign Office In an Interview with the Associated Press last Thursday, that the German dele gates might insist on clashing with what France considered her .specia privileges, ior instance, tne poncing oi the frontier. If Germany persists in this attitude In tho conference. It Is believed a most serious situation will arise, as France Is certain to resent It and Great Bri tain will support France. The -British government, while believing the con ference will finally 'reach a satisfac tory settlement, realizes that persist ence by Germany, in her demands will cause Irritation which will require all the efforts of tlie delegates to remove and In this It expects the support of the United Stntes. Spain and Italy.

WINTER ECZEMA Some skin diseases are active in Summer, while others wait until cold weather to manif cstthemselves. "WinterEczema sleeps in the system through, the long- hot months, and gives no sign of its presence; but at the coming of Winter the trouble asserts itself and it becomes one of the most painful and distressing of all skin diseases. The blood is filled with poisonous acids which seem to be excited by the cold; and as these are thrown off through, the pores and glands, the skin cracks and bleeds, the flesh becomes hot and feverish and the itching intense. The natural oils which keep the skin soft and pliant are dried up by thfe cold, bleak winds, causing it to become hard and dry, giving it thatshiny, leathery appearance, characteristic of the disease. The head, face, hands and feet are the usual points of attack, though other -parts of the body may be affected. So painful and distressing is the trouble that the .sufferer constantly "doctors" and treats it trying to get relief. Soothing washes, medicated ointments and salves are used, but aside from giving temporary relief they do no good. The cause is poisonous acids in theblood, and these must be removed before a cure can be effected. The only cure for Winter Eczema is S. S.
