It is incomprehensible to the Chinese why Japan chose the present moment to hand in the communication, as the secret service must have in formed the Tokio government two months aso that a monarchy was. surely ' coming. The communication is more likely to cause trouble than to prevent it. by encouraging the revolutionists with the idea that foreign powers are against the restoration of the monarchy, and thus strengthening the opposition to it. Restoration Beyond Stopping. Foreigners and Chinese realize that the restoration movement has gone so far that it is impossible to stop it. Japan s action is all the more strange, considering that Premier Okuma a fortnight ago said that the restora tion of the monarchy was Chinas do mestic affair, that it had been decided on and that he was convinced it would be brought about peacefully. The Chi nese government, he said, was fully able to control any situation which might arise and Japan had no right to interfere.

At the White House it was said: "No announcement regarding the time or place of the wedding has yet been au thorized and the President will not permit any statement at this time."

An immense audience gathered and afterward went inside, where they were presented with Oregon souvenirs, lo ganberry juice and Klamath cheese. The Commisioners. the Governor and other prominent Oregonians held an Informal reception. It was declared the most enthusiastic state day ever held on the grounds and the most noteworthy day for Oregon, unless we except Benson day. Mr. Clark wu particularly happy ln his remarks, thanking the exposition officials for everything, including the perfect day. He gave President Moore credit for having inspired the building of the great log house that has been such a joy to thousands. Ureat Pillars Symbolical. J. J. Dwyer, after graceful felicita tions. said: "The solidity of the 48 pillars of the great Oregon building is symbolical of the solidity of the union of American states." He went on: "Oregon has been grandly helpful to California in her limitless efforts for the success of the exposition: we are deliarhted to honor her. "Oregon, our neighbor and our friend; the state whose name means big ear, and whose citizens keep their cars to the ground to hear all that is coming for her good: in every respect ye are as good as, if not beter than California," said Mr. De Young. He went on in an impassioned plea for the united effort of the three Coast states, together with the rest of the West, to overthrow the deadening ef feet of a conservation policy that has arrested development. "The war In Europe is not compara ble to the cruelty of Government acts in the name of conservation." he said. He was applauded vigorously. Governor Plants Fir Tree.

GILDED DOME IS MASKED Teutons, Deceived by Luxuriant Fo liage Covering Great Landmark, Say Enemy Has Been Learn ing From Japanese. BT JAMES CDONXELl. BEXN'ETT.

In the days before the war the first object seen by the traveler journeying up or down the Vistula to the city of Ivangorod was the golden dome of the garrison's Greek church, which rises from the center of the great block of buildings constituting the fortress of Ivangorod. For miles upon miles across the plain it was visible, and when the late afternoon sun shone across it it blazed against the sky like a ball of fire. Tho dome Is still there. But unless he looked sharply the traveler who sought It now- would see nothing ln that direction save what might striko him as a lofty tree) or perhaps a group of three or four trees Df peculiarly luxuriant foliage. If he had some hint that a deception had been practiced, and if he surveyed the landscape from the river through field glasses he probably would suspect the outline of this great mass of trees was too regular to be natural, and if he were an artillery man he would almost surely suspect something. Ullded Dome Not Seea. His suspicion would be Justified. Certain German artillery men were a good deal baffled when they came into this region with the purpose of pound ing the fortress oi Ivangorod to pieces. They looked on their wonderful maps and they learned from them that at such and such a point (here should be the gilded dome of a large church, and with that fact in mind, they said to each other: "Now. where Is that dome, and by any possibility can that mass of trees in the neighborhood of where the dome should be mean anything 7" To clear up their doubts they sent some shots across the river at.d into the mass of trees. The experiment was fruitful. What had seemed to be a mass of trees was not lopped and spread apart as It should have been had the mass been veritable trees. The shots went cleanly through. The doubts of the Germans were cleared up. ftnae Serves Doable Pnrpoee. When they marched into the fortress they found the garrison church still standing. It was not much damaged. Looking up at the dome, they found that its gilded dome bad been treated to a coat of green paint and that then the whole extent of It had been care fully covered with, a thick wave of evergreen branches. Through this mass and through the dome two of the tier man shots had gone clean. The ruse had served a double purpose. It had not only given the Russians a safe signal station at a critical time, but it had deprived the enemy of capital point for taking the range and left him at sea at a time when every instant was precious. When the Germans saw the masked dome they grinned appreciatively, for they are capable of taking a joke when it is a military joke, and said, what iConchided on Pase 2.

These reports come from German sources. howe"er. and are not confirmed: nor is the report of a big naval engagement in the Black Sea between a Kussian squadron ani Turkish war craft, head ed by the Uoeben and Breslau. The rumored movement of Russian troops to aid Serbia is generally rnedited in England and had the most prominent place in the lato editions of the London evening papers yesterday. A guarded reference to the undertak- ng was made in a Fetrograd dispatch printed yesterday, which referred to the Russian Emperor "journeying south to give a send-off to a large force of all arms." Serbian circles in London are still making urgent appeals to the allies to rush troops to their country's support. but the fact that the Serbians have been able to hold out up to tho present time has created a certain amount of optimism. Neither of the great battlefronts in the east and west has furnished any marked developments.
