Another native ruler who attracts puhllc attention In London at the coro nation ceremonies Is Ms Highness Maharajah Sir HayaJI Itao Uaekwar Hahadur of I rods, who possesses prob ably the finest collection of Jewels n the worM. The Gaekwar represents a state which baa been in the hand, of the Mahratta since the early part of the lih century, when his ancestor, the first Gaekwar. wrested the territory front the bands of the Moguls. He be came the ruler of Baroda at the age cf 13. Ills palace at Baroda It one of the most remarkable buildings In Ind It has cot millions to build from first to last. It Is railed Lakahlml Vilas the Abode ot the Goddess of Fortune." The corridors are of alabaster and pearl. Inlaid wUh precious atones, and the throne room is magnificent In lta gor geous splendor. The tjack war's Jewels are the won der of Asia. In the "tosha-khana" the treasure chambers of the old Nasi Bagh. I'alare there are precious stones the like of which not even Aladdin or Sin bad ever saw. There 's tha famous -star of the South," one of the great diamonds of the world, bigger than our own Koh-l-noor. and the only second to the Culllnan. Then there Is the great collar of .09. dlamonda. with a double row of pear-shaped emeralds, th. broad acarf literally covered with row upon row of pearls, and knotted with Immense pigeon hlood ruble on the left shoulder; and the necklace, whlrh falls from the throat to the wa'st, made tip of seven rows of pear i stayed aoo,tls aa large aa uel 1 nuts. There Is a carpet, large enough to cover the floor of a fair-sized room covered with seed pearls, and Is worth a klntrs ransom. And. oasiaes au this, there are bushels of uncut stones and cups carved out of solid emeralds. Nor are these gems and precious metals confined to the treasure cham bers. They may be found In the ele phant stables aa well. These have their gold and Jeweled howdans, one oi which Is the gift of the Empress Queen Victoria, Another for the little Princes Is borne by silver leopards, which have spots of chrysoprase and aquamarine. There are great forehead plaques, guiding prongs and leading chains of pure gold Inlaid with every gem. And for those who wh to climb up Into the howdah there are ladders of solid silver. The stables contain other treasures. There Is a victoria made of gold, and a Utter for the use of the Maharanl also made of gold, with curtains of cloth of gold, and handles set with rubles. And then there Is the wonderful silver bullock wagon with beautiful embroidered hangings of gold tissue. And last of all. there Is a cannon of solid silver which a former ruler of Baroda had made, and another of solid gold which a successor. uot to be outdone, had cast. But fortunately for his people. It Is not In his treasure houses that the heart of the Gaekwar la to be found. Ills training under European Influ- encea has led him to see that where the Oriental falls In his contact with tha Occident Is In the matter of edu cadon. His four sons have bad the benefit of an English public school and university education, having studied at Eton and Oxford. The Ma harajah Kumar the Baroda, Crown Prince Is quite European In his tastes. He was allowed to choose his own bride and to see her fare before mar riage. The Oaekwar has made education the hlcf feature of his rule In Baroda. He haa quadrupled the number of elemen tary schools In his dominions, and .up- plemented them with technical and sec ondary schools. There le a perfectly equipped polytechnic, and to crown all there Is the Baroda i Diversity, which his Highness has built, and the domes of which rise above the public gardens and crown one of the finest modern buildings In India. The Gaekwar has ben a great trav eler, and In all bis wanderings he has paid the closest attention to the meth ods of education In the countries he has visited. Moreover, he has obtained the best teachers be could get from all lands. Five years ago he paid a pro longed visit to the United States, the result of which was that his only daughter has been educated there, and one of his sones has spent some time at an American university. ROAD'S REPLY AWAITED LOCAL- r.MOXS TO ACT Q.V OUT. COME OP PAULEY. Harrlnian Employes In Oregon Will Bo Ont of Work Vntil More Set tled Condition Is Ileaclied. Further developments locally In the Impending strike of employes on the Harrlman railroads are not expected until after the conference between Ju lius Kruttschnltt. vice-president of the Harrlman system, and the five Inter national presidents of tha labor organl- tlons concerned In the present wage controversy with the railroads. This conference Is scheduled to be held In San Francisco. September 1. "Until this conference has been held nd the railroad system has Issued Its ultimatum. I do not apprehend any fur ther developments in the situation as It exists today." said L. T. Lane, of the International Association of Machinists, yesterday. Mr. Lane Is scrompanled in hia visit to Portland at this time by another representative of organised la bor. George W. Talley. of the Inter. national Brotherhood of Boilermakers nd Iron Shipbuilders. "Of course, one can never tell what a great body of men may do but there Is a disposition among the more con servative ones to await the result of conference that has been arranged be tween the directing head of the Har rlman system and the official repre sentatives of the flv. organisations of railroad employee that are roncerned In tha pending controversy. When this meeting has been held and Its results are made known, the workingmen will determine their future course." It was announced officially from the local Harrlman offices yesterday that within the next ten days looo men will be laid off In the district over which J. P. O'Brien, vice-president and gener al manager of the o.-W. -R. A N. and Southern Pacific lines tn Oregon, has urijdlctlon. This curtailment of forces by the railroad system Is In pursuance of a plan of retrenchment that has been decided upon. It Is not confined nd applied only to tha mechanical de partments, but extends to the men em ployed In all departments of the great railroad system. M. J. Buckley, assistant general man ager, yesterday made the statement hat reports received by the Harrlman officers here showed that the earnings of the system during the first two weeks In August had been between 13 and IS per cent less than for the cor- espondlng period a year ago. By rail road men this slump In their volume of business at this season of the year s said to be unprecedented. It Is at- nbuted tn large measure to the short age In the corn and wheat crops of the Middle West states and a demoralised umber market on the Pacific Coast. Mr. O'Brien Is expected to return to Portland today, after an absence of a week. He will be prepared to re ceive and consider the demands of the company's employes here. Thus far In the controversy, the negotiations be- ween the restless employes and the railroad have been conducted by the men with J. F. Graham, assistant gen eral manager In charge of mechanical appliances. HERM1ST0N SELLS BONDS Water Resenrolr to lUs Built In Rock Is to Cost City $23,000. HERMISTOX. Aug. X.-3icclal.

COLLISION IS FEARED Harbin Editor Points Out That Rus sian Capital and Chinese Labor Can Be Used Profitably to Develop Manchuria. TOKIO, Aug. 23. (Special.) While Japan haa done wonders in its work ror developing Corea and Manchuria, the success It has achieved has been won in the face of many difficulties and haa done nothing to allay the sus picion of Its policy felt by China and K uas la. Indeed. Russia haa completely abandoned her attitude of careless in difference to the steps taken by the MiKados ministers, and from consist ently underrating Japanese strength bas gone to the opposite extreme. From SL Petersburg to Kastern Siberia there Is not a publicist or Journalist who is not eagerly engaged in discussing tne so-called Russo-Chlna-Jananese proDicm. and many are the suggestions for Its solution put forward bv nubli- cauons in that vast territory. Threc-Corncrcd Accord Proposed. One of the latest of these is a sug gestion printed In a Russian paper published in Harbin. It urges a tri angular rapprochement on the basis of common economic interests now seri ously placed In Jeopardy by a constant quarrel on the part of all the nations concerned. "'The government of the Begdikhan." says the writer, "infected by tha fever of the Hul-shol-ll-thuan, or rights re covery movement, and Instigated also Dy tne counsel of America and several other powers. Is taking more and more energetic measures designed to dis lodge Russia from North Manchuria and Mongolia, as also' the Japanese irom iouth Manchuria. And. accord lng to Information furnished by the Russian press, these circumstances which only recently compelled Russia to proffer an ultimatum, have not only not changed for the better, but. on the contrary, have grown worse. As before. Russian merchants In Mongolia are being oppressed and sub jected to unjust taxos and the Chinese seek every possible pretext to quarrel with the Russians. The Russian Min ster at Pekln has himself declared, as reported in Russian .papers, that the position of Russian traders In Mon golia haa become worse in comparison wlLh what It was prior to the ulti matum. Chinese Troops Moving. "Not only that, but the Chinese gov ernment la striving with all Its strength to expand Its military forces in -Manchuria. .Notwithstanding the poor condition of the national finances, the Pekin government is moving troops from Chili Province into Manchuria nd, in spite of the strictly recoc nlzed principle of the centralization of authority, the government haa granted to the new Viceroy of Manchuria, Chao-Kr-ahun, a wldo discretion in military affairs. -Russia also paid serious attention to military matters, which is clear from an entire aeries of changes in commands of the military districts ot the region. For example, the head of the Transamur district of frontier guards Is General Martinoff, a young and talented leader; the chief of the Irkutek military district Is General Nlkltln, a hero of the Russo-Turkish war and the defense of Port Arthur and the chief of the Prlamur military district is General Lechitsky, also a participant In the Russo-Japanese war. In a word. Russia and China are com peting one with the other in strength ening themselves and at the same time In the dlslodgment of the Chinese from Russian possessions and vice versa." The writer proceeds to characterise this common policy as wholly erro eous and as bound. If persisted in, to lead to an armed collision with dis astrous xonsequences for both. From the Japanese standpoint, he affirms, both Russia and China ought to cha'xe their watchwords. "If you want peace prepare for war." China ought to in duce Russians to go to Manchuria and Mongolia In order to give an Impetus to the commercial and Industrial de velopment of these regions, and he goes on to point out that Manchuria owes Its present state of economic progress entirely to the efforts of the Russians snd Japanese, who have in vested millions in the province. "Then, In our opinion, Russia must first restore the free port, thanks to which local Russian industries will be afforded a chance to stand upon their feet." he continues. "In the Prlamur It Is more rational to engage In the working of the mineral wealth. In which the region really abounds, than to hope or the expansion of agricult ure, which it Is impossible to expect In view of the unsul tability of the soil. All Russians familiar with the local conditions recognize that the Russian Prlamur cannot develop in Isolation from Manchuria, and, although tha Russian authorities have p'rojected to transport corn from West Siberia in the Kast, such an undertaking can be realized only to the detriment of the railway which Is obliged to carry the corn at a reduced rate. "Secondly, Russia must obtain from China a concession for -the construc tion of the Algun-Harbin Railway, which is indispensable to economic In tercourse between Chinese and Rus sian territories on the Amur. If this railway Is built, the centers of Man churia and the Prlamur will be united and furthermore, thanks to this line, the economic importance of the Amur Railway wllr undoubtedly be appre ciably Increased. "As regards the Chinese laborers in the Prlamur, their presence will per mit of the cheapening' of the enter prises that are being introduced there. In this manner eoonomlo Intercourse between the neighboring countries will be made permaennt, and the danger of an armed conflict, which Is at pres ent evident, will be eliminated." FIGHT ACROSS A RIVER Striking Incidents of fp the Rail road to Malolos. General Funston In Scrlbner's. A number of us were running along the river bank, trying to find some m.ans ot crossing, and while engaged In this work I became 'aware of the fact that a very brisk fight was going on with a couple of trenches to our right. I did not at the time know Just what troop were involved, but could RUSSIAN C see a field-piece In action right on tbe bank of the river, firing on a trench across the stream, and could hear the tap, tap. tap of the Colt automatic. There were also a number of Infantry men. These latter had been engaged In the fight for some time, but we had not known It, being engaged with our own affairs farther to the left. Our three companies farther down this stream had completely mastered the fire In the trenches opposite them, but could not cross. I went over to where the artillery and the automatic were In action, and at this time Company D of my regiment. Captain Orwlg, came up to take a hand in the fracas. rUUl a little further up was a company of the Tenth Pennsylvania of Hale's brigade that Major Bell, who was tn command at this point, had brought over from beyond the railroad. In the meantime a raft was noticed moored to the opposite bank of the stream, about to yards below the trench that was fighting Major Bell's detachment. It would be necessary to swim the stream to get It, and I called for volunteers to do the work Lieutenant Hardy. Trumpeter Barsh field, Coporal Drysdale (now a second lieutenant In the Seventeenth Infan try), and Private Huntsman and Wll ley stripped off their clothing and plunged Into the stream. They swam across, got tbe raft, and towed it to our side. It was a gallant piece of work well done. During this time the frcld-plece, the Colt gun and Company D were pounding the nearby trench with great vigor, while the Pennsyl vania company was handling another trench a little farther up-stream. As soon as the raft reached our side I got on it with Lieutenant Hopkins and 21 men of Company C, and we poiea it to tne other bank. FOOTPADS BESET WOMEN FLEET Y. M. C. A.

August 14, on a charge of con tributing to the delinquency of Amber Christiansen, aged 14. Hoffman de nied that he was guilty of holding up the women, but acknowledged that he was the man paroled by Judge McGinn. The women were walking along Tay lor street between Sixth and Seventh streets, when two young men suddenly emerged from a dark place and grabbed their purses. The man suc ceeded In wresting the purse from Mrs. Lavlne's hand, but Mrs. Jones fought her assailant and held on to her purse but the highwayman tore the handle off. The loud screams of the women attracted a big crowd and there were soon dozens of pursuers In the chase.
