Here In a most nict nrrsmie spot, with
wooded peaks on all (sides and an ener

REDS DISUKE JAPANESE
British Columbia Indians Refuse to
Eat Food Cooked by Orientals.
NEW WESTMINSTER. B. C. Aug. 8.
(Special.) The agitation against
Orientals, which was at Its height
along the Pacltle Coast a few months
back, has spread to the Indians In
Northern British Columbia, word hav
ing been received here that the redmen
employed at Skedegate absolutely re
fuse to eat food cooked by Chinese or
Japanese, and are making stipulations
with their employers that they will not
be asked to work with Orientals at
any time.
As the different industries at Skede
gate are dependent upon the Indians'
for manual labor, the boycott againet
the Asiatics has so far been successful,
a large number of Chinese having been
compelled to return south by reason of
the attitude of the doughty champions
of "white and native labor."

MEDFORD. Or.. Aug. 8 (Special.) A
deplorable accident happened last night
whereby Mrs. Emma Hughes' right hand
was blown off by the explosion of a giant

No sooner were the words spoken than

'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

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

These words were shouted by Cap
tain Baldwin at Fort Myor last night as
he piloted his military balloon to the
ground after making a successful
flight of nearly five miles, preliminary
t. today's teat. Arising from the
around slowly, but buoyantly, at :12
the aerial ship, built for the United
States Army, was headed In the west

A complete circle was described, tne

of 200 feet. Again pointing to the
west and attaining an estimated speed
of 12 miles an hour, the ship voyaged
a direct line for nearly two miles.

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

sion of events In European Turkey is al
most Invariably felt.

additional claims amounting to 1200.000
more. His assets.- he said. Included
t&.tm cash. Continuing. Thaw said:
"It is a business necessity due tc the
heavy expenses which I have be?n under
during a period of over two years. 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. Hayt, another
creditor. The papers were served today.
Thaw was placed in the position of I
having to be in two places at the same
time, for Referee Schlosser, of Fishklll
Landing, has adjourned . the hearing In
Thaw's suit to fix the value of Dr. Wil
son's services as an expert to Monday
at 9 A. M. The proceeding before Mr.
Vanderwalter is to be In Poughkeepsle.
while that of Mr. Schlosser Is to be at

loss of many articles of Jewelry and
money, the loss of which was discovered
shortly after a funeral at their homes.
The woman, the police say, always
dressed in black and. picked out her vic
tims from the death notices In the pa-
pew, selecting only those who in her
opinion would well repay robbing. Then
she would go to the funerals and while
pretending to be absorbed in sorrow,
would pick the pockets of those next to
her.
The two principal witnesses against
Mrs. Talmage were Mrs. A. T.'nger-
bucher, of 2611 West Lehigh avenue, and
Mrs. Ress. of 1425 North Seventh street.
The, magistrate, after hearing their tes
timony, held Mm Talmage under tSOO

tory, and capable of interesting a citizen
some 15 minutes in sifting out the names
of his friends for whom he desires to

BUTTH, Mont., Aug. 8. A message yes

Which May End Macedonian Itow.
BERLIN, Auk. 8. (Special.) It is
stated here on very good authority that
when Sultan Abdul Hamid, of Turkey,

the Kaiser, with whom he has been in
constant communication for several
months.
The German press commenting on the
