JEWELS OF RARE VALUE
The Maharajah ot Baroda la m Veri
table Stodera, Croesus.
London Chronicle.
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.

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."
