In the report of the House committee
on expenditures on public ouiiamss.
which Chairman Stone, of Indiana,
submitted today.
The committee points out extrava

of fraud in public expenditures.
The committee recommends that
Government buildings be standardised
and endeavors to point out what It
considers the folly of maintaintr.se a bis

make Dlans for every buildlna- con-

Architecture la Crltlslaed.
In the Senate public buildings of the
country were variously characterised
today as of the "store box variety."
the "brick block" type and a "cross
between a stable and chicken-coop."
Most of the attack on the Nation's
public architecture was made by Sen
ator Heyburn. who suggested that
many buildinsrs should be removed
"over night." The comments were made
during consideration of the sundry
civil appropriation bill.
The House had put in a provision
that would prohibit the purchase of
building pians fronrarchitects outside
the Federal supervising architect. Sen
ator Newlands said public architecture
had been improved by allowing Presi
dent Roosevelt to secure plans from
outside architects.
The Senate reversed the action of the
House and the question will be fought
out In conference.
WYOMING FASTEST SHIP
Battleship Travels More Than 22
Knots Hourly in Trial.
ROCKLAND. Me, July 20. All speed
records for big-gun battleships were
broken yesterday by the new battleship
Wyoming, sister ship of the super
dreadnought Arkansas, during her
standardising trials.
Her speed of 22.045 knots Is said by
Naval experts aboard, to be the fastest
ever made by any battleship In the
world carrying 12-lnch guns.
The Arkansas a month ago ma.de
21.423 knots an hour, a record-breaking
performance at that time.
A strike In the fireroom interfered
somewhat with the operation of the
Wyoming In the full speed run and even
better time might have been made, ac
cording to officials. The firemen struck
for more pay and before the difficulty
was adjusted the steam fell off con
siderably. The Wyoming's average was
21.322 for the five to six-hour speed
run and that of the Arkansas 21.163.
The vessel is 99 per cent completed
and it Is expected will be put in com
mission about the middle of August.

and Deportations Are Ordered.
LISBON. July 20. I By way of the
Frontier.) The monarchist movement
undoubtedly is more Important than
was at first believed and an extensive
conspiracy which had been planned ir.
a number of towns failed only because
of personal rivalries.
The troops are making hundreds of
arrests. Jails are packed and courts
martial are dealing with the conspir
ators as expeditiously as possible, pro
nouncing sentences of deportation
varying from 10 to 28 years.
The prisoners at Caldas. 58 miles
north of Lisbon, managed to smuggle
arms into the prison and attacked the
guards. A fierce tiKht ensued, in which-:
there were several casualties.

ner Albina avenue.
The affairs of the co-operators are
In the hands of Will H. Daly, presi
dent; B. O. Keen, secretary-treasurer,
S92 Gantenbein avenue, and a board
of five directors as follows: J. A.
Randall. M. A. Gowing. Dr. L. M. Davis,

Increased Storage Facilities of Valley

500,000 Boxes of Frnit.
HOOD RIVER. Or July 20. (Spe
cial.) At the end of this Summer four
big new storage warehouses will have
been completed in the Hood River al
ley, and the storage problem will not
need to worry the local apple-growers
for a number of years. v hen all or tne
new buildings have been completed.
facilities for storing about SOO.000 boxes
of fruit will have been aoded.
In addition to the Hood River Apple
growers' Union, the Davidson Fruit
Company, the National Fruit Company
and the Hood River Apple company,
which have built the large storage
houses, many of the ranchers owning
the larger orchards have built private
storage houses.
The National Apple Company, which
was established this season, has an
nounced that they will make a chango
in the methods heretofore, usea in
packing. Formerly all fruit has been
nacked at the sheds of the grower,
which sometimes resulted in loss from
over-ripening or freezing, depending on
the condition of the weather and the
facilities of the growers' sheds. By
the new arrangement it ia proposed
that the growers merely grade their
fruit fancy and extra fancy, but not
for size, and transport them immedi
ately to the storage rooms of the apple
company, where they will be run
through sizing machines and packed
In the rooms of even temperature by
the comnanv's Dackers. This will ap
peal to many growers, because of the
fact that the local packers have an
nounced the proposed forming of a
union among themselves. Leaders of
the packers declare that they will not
work for a man who has no lodging
facilities, and many of the ranches are
not so equipped.
Experiments of B. B. Pratt, of the
United States Department- of Agricul
ture has shown that the fruit is placed
Immediately In cold storage is of a far
better keeping quality than that al
lowed to remain In packing sheds for
some length of time. Mr. Pratt, who
conducted experiments In Portland last
rur with amies from Northwestern
districts, will continue his task or
working out storage problema tnis

An effort will be made to establish
an office or experimental station of the
Denartment of Agriculture at local
storage houses in the near future.

Agreement Deals With Respective
Spheres, of Influence and Aid
In Case of War Signatures
Xow Impending.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 20. The
signature is impending of a pact es
tablishing a defensive alliance between
Russia and Japan. The actual agree
ment waa concluded a fortnight ago
and likely will be signed for Japan by
Baron Motono, the' Japanese Ambassa
dor to Russia, who was Its negotiator
and prime mover.
The agreement consists of two parts,
one dealing with to delimitation of
the spheres of Influence of Russia and
Japan in Mongolia and Manchuria,
which is similar in scope and charac
ter to the Anglo-Russian accord of
August 31, 1901. regarding Persia, etc.
The second part deals with the duty
of the two powers for a joint defense
in case either power is attacked.
The beginning of the present Russo
Japanese agreement of July 4, 1910,
providing for the maintenance Jointly
of the status quo in Manchuria, was a
direct result of the ill-fated neutraliza
tion scheme of the Manchurlan rail
roads and the present one was the out
come of a long muddle which taught
both powers the necessity for a close
union of forces.

Form of Parcels Post, as
Presented Originally.
GREATER INCOME PROVIDED
Two New Zones Are Added, Making
Eight, Ranging From 50 to 1800
Miles, at Prices' From Four to
Twelve Cents a Pound.
WASHINGTON, July 20. After
dispute of more than two months the
Senate committee on postotflces and
postroads reached an agreement yester.
day on the postofflce appropriation bill
and the measure will be reported Mon
day.
The parcels post provision, the prln
cipal subject In dispute, finally was
threshed out by Senator Bourne, the
author of the provision, and Senator
Bristow. of Kansas.
Senators Bristow and Bourne, sitting
as a sub-committee on the parcels post,
agreed on a modified form of Senator
Bourne's tlan. It retains Senator
Bourne's scheme for a division of the
country into sones within which rates
for the transmission oc parcels sna.ii
be the same.
Rates Increased SHa-fctly.
Senator Bristow believed the Bourne
plan would plaee rates so low that the
project would be found Impracticable.
To meet his objections, eight zones
were outlined instead of six, as oris
tnally planned, and the rates proposed
bv Senator Bourne were increased.
The maximum rate remains at 12
fnt the rate of the Postal Union.
Senators Bourne and Bristow agreed
upon the parcels post sones as follows:
First zone, length 50 miles, rate 5
cents for the first pound, 3 cents for
each additional pound; second sons,
lentrth 150 miles, rate and cents;
third sons, length 300 miles, rate 7
and 5 cents; fourth sons, length 00
miles, rate 8 and 8 cents; fifth zone.
length 1000 miles, rate 9 and 7 cents;
sixth sone. length 1400 miles, rate 10
and rents; seventh zone, lengin jsuu
miles, rate 11 and 10 cents; eigntn
zona. lensrth over isuo mini ram t
cents per pound straight. Maximum
packages 11 pounds.
Zone Shortened for Profit.
Senator Bourne originally proposed
six zones to range in lengtn irom ou
tn 2000 miles. The idea of shortening
the zones Is that It would benefit the
smaller merchants and that it would
increase the income of the system and
make it self sustaining.
A provision is maae tor local aeiiv-
ery fixing a charge of five eents lor
the first pound and one cent for each
additional pound, or 1 cents lor an
n -oound package. Tne proposal Dy
Senator Bourne to combine the third
and fourth class malls Into one class
Is eliminated.
As completed by the Senate commit
tee the bill carries about JS8?,000,000,
or an Increase of about 14.000,000 over
the House bill.
