Democratic Plan-, of Revenge for
Bradley's Election. ' -
WASHINGTON. Feb.", 29. (Special.)
Democratic, indigpatlon. aver tlw.bolt
in the Kentucky Legislature, which, re
sulted in the election of ex-Governor
Bradley, the "Republican,, to the United
States Senate, threatens a National
prohibition movement . bn 'the.' part of'
the minority ' party. ' This may sound
strange In the North, but in the' South'
prohibitory legislation has had Its
support In Democratic ' quarters, and
the. Southern Democrats' are' very 'in
fluential in the councils' or their party.
It was reported here today that three
of the four .Deniocrats who bfllted'to
Mr. Brklle are identified with the
liquor mtrests In Louisville and that,
possibly, they 'were coerced by the dls-'
tlllerier -to vote for the Republican
candidate. One of the immediate re
taliatory results will be to push to
the front more strongly than ever the
bill to prevent reshipment of liquors
In prohibition states and, if the meas
ure is stifled in committee, Southern
Democrats may try to get a declaration
In favor of It In the National plat
form to be drafted at Denver, hold the
Ttepibllcans responsible for non-action
this Winter and make the question an
Issue In the campaign.
It is pointed out by Democrats here
that the Kentucky situation is particu
larly calculated to occasion resent
ment. .Not only has rt shown the ex
tremity to which the liquor interests
will go, but it Is declared to be a body
blow to primary elections as a method
vt determining' Senatorial nominees.
Governur iSeckham won in the Demo
cratic primaries, advocating prohibi
tion for Kentucky. He was as much
the nominee for the Senate as was their
prlinai;y-chosen candidate for Govern
or. The gubernatorial candidate was
slaughtered bv the liquor interests, and
finally four Democratic legislators
were Induced to bolt. The distillery
interesis In Kentucky are unusually
strong and were driven to desperate
means by the stand taken by the Beck
ham oi-ganlxatfcin.

FEAR OBJECT OF MOVEMENT
Taft Adherents Think Bourne Would
Bring About Clash.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Feb. 29. Much concern is re
ported among Secretary Taft's friends
over the Bureau Senator Bourne Is
establishing to boom Roosevelt. Yes
terday they brought the President's at
tention to Senator Bourne's crusade,
but were soothed with the assurance
that Secretary Taft's nomination was
already as good as accomplished, and
mat the only concern the Taft men
should feel was as to his election.
Some of the Taft adherents declare
that the so-called "second-elective
term" movement Is really a reaction
ary movement in disguise and that its
sole purpose is to divide the admiuis-'
tratlon forces and bring about a clash
between the President and Secretary
Taft, resulting possibly In the resigna

BERKELEY, Cal., Feb. 29. (Special. )
Skilled in the ways of the bee. Miss Flora
Mclntyre, a Junior student of the Uni
versity of California, is earning her way
through college by rearing the . little
honeymakers. She Is writing a number
of magazine articles on the bee. These
articles will be of the greatest scientific
value, as the subject will be covered com
pletely. Miss Mclntyre' has contributed
a' number of articles for magazines deal
ing witn special phases of the subject.
Registered In the College of Letters at
the University of California. Miss Mcln
tyre, whose home is In Ventura, came to
the university three years ago, and dur
ing that time has made the industry of
rearing queen bees provide funds for her
education. The entomologists of the uni

and have frequently sought her advice on
matters concerned with the rearing of the
bee for its commercial value.
JAPAN DEMANDS APOLOGY
Rejects. Plan to. Submit Controversy
to Mixed Tribunal.
TOKIO. Feb. .29. The Japanese govern
ment is maintaining a determined atti
tude concerning the seizure of the Tatsu
Maru, and' demands, both an apojpgy and
an indemnity from China.'. The Chinese
Foreign Office" wants' to submit' the. en
tire question to a mixed -court. Tills is
refused by the Japanese government un
less the vessel has first been released
and an apology, made for an insult to the
flag. - ' ' '
It appears that the Tatsu Maru was
regularly cleared from Kobe with a con
signment of arms and ammunition for
Macao. The Portuguese Minister at Pe
kln supports tne contention of Viscount
Hayashl, the Japanese Minister of For
eign Affairs, that the vessel waa seized
within Portuguese waters.
It is believed here among officials that
the Chinese will finally yield to the de
mands of Japan.
It is said by the Japanese Foreign Of
fice that no ultimatum has been issued
and that the sailing of the Japanese
cruiser Idzumi for Hongkong Is not In
tended as a threat.
It is quite evident, however, that the
Japanese will resort to force unless their
demands are conceded within a reason
able time.

of the Japanese government in the Far

been a succession of complaints regard

Manchuria. This particularly affects the
British steamship companies, and offi

placed in the way of their steamers go

Japan to. the extension northward of the
Hsin Min Tun Railroad, also Is adversely
criticised here, it being .contended that
her sole object In his regard Is to elim

Great Britain is now negotiating at To

one newspaper says:
"It is difficult to convince Japan that
no satisfactory solution can be construct

variance with the commercial morality
of civilized nations."
It is considered essential In English
circles here that Great Britain should
press new trademark laws upon Japan.

city Yerardtne; his health.
"Improving steadily. Rumors to

The A.dmlrar has been reported as
suffering with rheumatism.
CALLAO, Feb. 29. The American fleet
sailed today for Magdalena Bay. in Low
er California, a territory of Mexico. Sig
nals went up from the Connecticut, the
flagship, this morning, and shortly after
ward the battleships were steaming slow
ly out to the ocean for the long run to
their next stopping place.
The fleet described a semicircle, the
treat white ships moving to the south
west, and, when, they passed the Peru
vian cruiser Almirante Grau, from which
President Pardo and the officers of state
viewed the departure, each of the war
ships fired a salute of 21 guns. The
cruiser replied whenhe Connecticut was
passing, and there was a dipping of flags
from the other vessels in the harbor, and
a ringing farewell from the thousands
who had gathered to watch the ships of
a friendly nation as they swung majes
tically out to the open sea.
The steamer Cachapoal, crowded with
spectators, accompanied the fleet for some
distance from shore, but as the battle
ships gathered speed, she was left astern,
with the enthusiastic Peruvians still
watching and waving flags and handker
chiefs. Thousands of sightseers on points
of vantage on land witnessed the mag
nificent and imposing scene.
The next stopping place of the fleet Is
Magdalena Bay, where, according to
schedule, the vessels will arrive March
14. The distance from Callao to Magda
lena Bay is 3012 nautical miles. The
dates for the departure from Magdalena
Bay and the arrival at San Francisco
have not been definitely determined, as
those depend upon the completion of the
target practice at Magdalena Bay, which
will probably occupy 30 days. ;
There are no wireless telegraph stations
on the coast of South and Central Amer
ica between Callao and the next stopping
place, and the fleet, therefore, will not
be able to communicate by this means.
This is the longest .lap of the long voy
age, and unless news of the passage of
the warships' Is brought ashore by some
passing ; steamer, the ; vessels- probably,
will .not be heard from again until they
approach Magdalena -Bay. The. fleet left
Hampton Roads December. 16, and made
its first stop In South America at Trini
dad, December . 23. yTMve days' sailing
from Callao -will bring Panama abeam,
and the vessels ' will then be practically
clear of South America. Counting the
long stops made, at Trinidad, Rio, Punta
Arenas and Calao, they have made the
circuit of South America in approximate
ly 73 days.
Busy Times at Mare Island.
VALLEJO, Cal., Feb. 29. The presence
of large cruisers on the Coast has mate
rially increased the work at Mare Island
Navy Yard, from which all stores and
provisions are being issued. Owing to the
orders for the Washington and Tennessee

these ships have been filled under rush'
orders. Over 120.000 pounds of stores have
been delivered to the Washington, com
prising provisions, clothing and ship
stores. The Tennessee received 160,000
pounds! of stores, which were sent to the
lower bay by yard tugs. The Colorado

from Mare Island, 50 tons just having
been forwarded to Bremerton for them.
Stores and provisions for the big fleet
of Rear-Admiral EvanB are now being
assembled here. During the stay of the
fleet in these waters the storekeeper's
department will have the busiest time In
its history, as the Asiatic fleet also draws
stores from Mare Island.
The navy yard magazine has Just
shipped 2000 pounds of smokeless powder

"After a conference , yesterday with
General Manager Rldgeway, of the Den

TROOPS PROTECT ITALIANS
Vigilantes Threaten Them Because
They Accept Low Wages.
KENT WOOD. la., Feb. 29.' Kentwood
Is. today under guard of state troops,
who quietly took possession last night
to prevent threatened violence against
aliens. Within the last two days self
styled vigilantes have warned scores of
Italians to leave town by the end of this
week if they did not wish to be blown
up by dynamite.
Frightened Italians yesterday left so
rapidly that the Italian population of
3W was reduced by about half.
. The main complaint against these for
eigners was that they had accepted,
without contest, a cut wages from $1.75
to $1.25 per day In the lumber mills
where most of them work.
The Italian trouble here was similar
to that which recently occurred in other
parts of the state in which natives un
dertook violently to drive cheap foreign
labor away from lumber mills. In other
disturbances at least one foreigner was
killed and several badly wounded.
