In speaking of the new laws which be come effective t the end of the present fishing season. Mr. McAllister said: 'Since I have been fish warden my work has been pleasant and I have had the co-operation of every Interest, but I expect when these tw laws go into effect, mv troubles will begin, as It will be almost impossible to enforce them In detail. I propose, however, to do th best I can. and if the measures are found to be unpopular, the people can change them. A suggestion was recently made that a communion consisting of repre: sentatives of the different interests In both Oregon and Washington, be appoint ed In place of members of the Legislature, to frame a measure that will be equitable to all concerned and then present it to the two Legislatures for passage. "I believe this commission should em brace every interest, and if it can prepare a bill that will be approved by the Gov ernment engineers, each one conceding i little, there will be no trouble in inducing the Legislatures to pass It. One reature should be the fixing of different close seasons for different parts of the river The great trouble in the pawt has beet, that each interest considers every otner interest as its natural enemies, while l all could be persuaded to work In har- monv for the good of the industry its 1m provement would quickly follow."

Turkish Uprising Planned Congress in Paris. at SULTAN FULLY INFORMED Saw Published Proceedings of Con- e vontfon of His Eneniiait, but Was Unable to Block Their Moves. LONDON. Aug. 8. (Special.) There is no question but that a revolutionary prop aganda and organization have been con ducted on a positive basis in Turkey for some tlmi past. An event of some sig nificance, though comparatively Ilttlo noticed, was a secret congress of revolu tionary subjects of the Sultan held in Paris toward the end of last or the be ginning of this year. The congress com prised members of the Armenian organ ization, "Droschak," the Turkish revo lutionary group "Union and Progress' (of which Major Enver Bey proclaimed himself an adherent in a letter to the None Frele Presse): the Ottoman Lsague or initiative, and XJecentrlzatlon, led by Prince Sabahed-DIn, a nephew of the Sultan, and delegates of Jewish, . Arab. Albanian and Bulgarian committees. According to particulars- published shortly afterwards In the French Social ist press, the congress adopted unani mously a Joint minimum programme of mmediate action. The programme was, In the first place, to obtain the abdica tion of the Sultan Abdul Hamld by one means or another, and to bring about the radical modification of the present regime and, eventually, the Institution of a rep resentative system with a parliament. Tha meanR of action enumerated and agreed upon were, first, armed resistance to the authorities; second, unarmed re sistance by strikes of officials, police and taxpayers; third, propaganda in the army to induce the soldiers not to march against the people nor against the revo lutionaries- four, general insurrection; and. fifth, the dissemination of pnra phlets In Turkieh, Albanian, Arabic, Kurdish and Greek. The Sultan was. doubtless, fully In formed of the proceedings of this con gresa. hut he appears to have been lm ble to check the growth of the revolu tionary spirit in the army and elsewhere. He Is stated to h-e been particularly mpressed by the attempts to assassinate his officers. The outcome of his efforts to win over the leaders of the movement the treatment of which clemency was, it seems, to be observed on account of its patriotic character," will be watched with Interest in Austria-Hun gary, within whose borders the repercus sion of events In European Turkey is al most Invariably felt. already spent $200,000 and that there are additional claims amounting to 1200.000 more.

Now I find additional bills and claims, many of them exaggerated. To pay these ae they are presented would entail, the re sult that (he creditors would suffer. It Is to prevent exactly such Injustice that the bankruptcy laws were created, and I consider that by becoming bankrupt I insure Justice to all." By an order of County Judge Has brotick, Harry K. Thaw must appear before Referee Holmes Vanderwalter at 10 A. M. Monday to be examined as to his debt to Dr. J. P. Wilson, in supple mentary proceedings brought against the doctor by Mrs. Ella B.
