Weary Wllllo Bryan
New York, Jnn. 24. That William
Jennings Bryan will not in any way
control the Democratic convention at St.
Louis is shown quite conclusively by
the expressions o several of the biff
leaders in interviews aa published by the
Herald. Out of 101 interviews 04 per
sons repudiated Bryan.
According to the Herald free silver ia a
dead issue and Mr. Brynn'a late views
are ancient in purport.
The following are some of the expres
sions of Democratic politicians:
Senator Xewlnnds, Nevada Mr.Bryan
will not be our candidato and he is not
going to dictate our platform. Condi
tions have changed and opinions of men
on great national questions have
changed, therefore Mr. Bryan's individ
ual opinions will not have the same
Talue now.
Senator Dubois, Idaho I am opposed
to Mr. Bryan's attitude as eet forth in
his Nebraska speech and his published
interviews. The free silver issue is a
thing of the past.
Senator Morgan, Alabama I have
ceased to consider what Mr. Bryan says
or does. He belongs to the past. He
has a perfect right to hip views, but he
must not espect the Democrats who
were Democrats long before he was
thought to be influenced by his in
dividual notions.
he is ALL wrong.
Senator Clay, Georgia I do not care
to go into a discussion of Mr. Bryan's
views on the Democratic convention. I
believe however, he is. all wrong and
will have very little, if anv, effect on the
convention.
Senator Culberson, Texas Mr. Bryan
is entitled to his opinions as to the
best policy of the Democratic party,
but there are a great many men in the
party who supported him loyally who
cannot accept his recent utterances as
practicable under existing conditions.
Senator Simmons, North Carolina
The sentiment of the Democrats of
North Carolina is clearly against any
attempt to revive the silver issue, be
cause they consider it belongs to the
past. We are interested in the issues
of tbo present, and in harmony rather
than in factional division.
Hermann Reads Him a Lesson
WAsmsoros, Jan. 25. Representative
Hermann has protested to Chairman
Burton against the action of the com
mittee in refusing to report a river and
harbor Dili, lie torn uurton mat on
most works the damage from failure to
continue the improvements and protect
what had been done would cost more
than the bill. It is understood that the
improvements that are under way in th
districts of a majority of the members of
the committee are covered by contracts.
and will be carried in the appropriation
bill, or the last appropriations were so
large that there are balances which wiil
keep the work going. There is great
deal of dissatisfaction as a result of the
commi ttee's action.
Moros Exhibit Treachery.
Manila, Jan, 25. It has been learned
here that Lieutenant C. W. Flake, of
the 22d Infantry, was killed while try
ing to enter Mora Cotta, Mindanao, for
the purpose of examining the locality.
He was accompanied by Private Foy, of
the same regiment. Lieutenant Flake
was shot treacherously, the Moros firing
on the party while Major Bullard was
parleying with them. Moro Cotta was
at once taken by assault, with no further
loss to the expeditionary forces. The
estimated loss among the Moros is 20
killed.
Price of Hops Advancing.
Yesterday at Santa Rosa, Calif., a
local grower sold 150 bales of this year's
crop for 28)s cents. Last week the mar
ket was 27 cents, and it was believed it
had reached its extreme limit. The
year 1903 was a record-breaker for
prices, and since that time hops have
been disposed of at from 12 to 20 cents.
Several hundred acres of now hops are
being ret out in this country at the pres
ent time.

THE
LATEST
WAR
NEWS
RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS AND JAP
ANESE AMBASSADOR OONFER
RUSSIA IS ACTUALLY AFRAID OF THE RESULT OF
A WAR WITH JAPAN AND
HER ALLIES.
Paris, Jan. 27. Official advices received here
from vSt. Petersburg show that Foreign Minister Lams
dorff, before giving Russia's answer, has called in the
Japanese Minister, M. Kurino. The two Ministers are
now conferring with the view of so shaping the re
sponse as to avoid a conflict. This is considered to be
an explanation of the dispatch from Tokio saying
Japan has requested Russia to hasten her reply. As
Count Lamsdorff and M. Kurino are having confer
ences prior to the submission of the reply, it is re
garded as evidence of Japan's insistence on an early
answer and of Russia's desire to avoid a response
which might precipitate hostilities.
Count Lamsdorff s course in conferring with M.
Kurino before answering is cited as showing Russia's
willingness to go to the last limit in order to avoid
war. But, it is added, if the efforts of Russia fail she
wiil be prepared to strike very hard blows from the
outset.
All information reaching the highest quarters here
tends to show that the crises continues acute. It ap
pears to be accepted conviction in government circles
that the final determination between peace and war
cannot long be deferred. A categorical denial is given
so far as France is concerned, to the Pekin report that
the French Minister is taking part in negotrations
with the view of mediation of Franco, Great Britain
and the United States.
Fifty years ago Brcese Gibson and his
brother, George D. Gibson, now of Pom-
eroy, Wasb., when they;wero boys to
gether on their Polk county farm, cut
open a small oak sappliug and inserted
in the center of it a small stone. They
agreed that in 60 years they would re
turn to-the spot and cut tbo tree down
and see what effect it had had upon the
stone.
This they did, and found that the tree
had grown until it was a foot through
and had completely crown over the
stone. They had plastered the stone in
the tree with mud when they inserted it,
and, what is more strange than any'
thing else, ia that the mud had also
turned to stone. This piece of oak tree,
with the stone imbedded in it, will bo
put in the museum of the State Histori
cal Society at Portland. The tree stood
on the farm that now belongs to James
Sykes, near Eola, Polk county.

ALBANY CONSCIENCE STRUCK
Albany, Or., Jan, 27. A moral wave struck the
City Council of Albany last night, and as a result Al
bany will hereafter be a closed town. A resolution
was passed which is designed to suppress all gamb
ling, secure rigid enforcement of the law authorizing
Sunday closing of saloons, banish the slot machines
from the city and effect other reforms.
Rumors had been afloat all day yesterday that
there would be "something doing" of a reform nature
at the City Council last evening, so the result of the
exciting session was not altogether unexpected. The
first intimation that a moral wave was coming was in
the closing paragraphs of Mayor W. H. Davis' annual
message to the City Council. The Mayor advised the
Councilmen to "set out by definite declaration their
policy regarding Sunday and midnight closing of sa
loons, gambling annexes to saloonslot machines, etc."
As soon as the Mayor finished reading thej mes
sage, Councilman J. M. Ralston, of the Second Ward,
moved the adoption of a resolution which he had pre
pared and which embodied tho following provisions;
"First That the Marshal and policemen be in
structed to notify the saloons to close all gambling
games at once and keep them closed under penalty of
having their licenses revoked.
"Second That the ordinance closing saloons Sun
days be strictly enforeed.
"Third That the ordinance committee be in
structed to prepare an ordinance regulating slot ma
chines in accoordance with the state law.
"Fourth That the ordinance committee be in
structed to prepare an ordinance closing all saloons at
12 o'clock, midnight.
"Fifth That Collins & McAlpin be instructed
to close the rooms over their saloon and that all stair
ways or means of direct communication with the upper
floor be done away with at once."
The discussion on the resolution was very brief.
Some of the Councilmen asked for more time to consid
sider the matter, but Ralston urged immediate action.
Marshall of the Third Ward, called for "the question"
and the resolution without a rush without a dissenting
vote.
The action of the City Council has aroused great
excitement among all classes of people.
Chicago, Jan. 27 With the ther
mometer 16 degrees below zero, it
marked the coldest day of the winter.
Two deaths from cold today are re
ported and two yesterday. The suf
fering of the destitute is fearful, and
business concerns are coming to the
rescue with substantial subscriptions.
At Milwaukee the weather is the
coldest since 1887. A blizzard is
raging in St. Louis and work on tho
fair grounds is temporarily suspended.
At New Richmond, Wis., a new re
cord was made, when it jumped to
48 degrees below. There are fierce
north winds in Central and Western
Kansas, and it ia 16 decrees below
at Des Moines, and the storm u grow
ing more violent. The police of thU
city are distributing supplies of coal
to the poor.

Russia, which had freed its serfs be
fore wo emancipated our slaves, has now
anticipated our niOHt advanced factory
legislation with a law providing compul-'
eory compensation for employees sus
taining injuries of any kind while at
work. If the accident proves fatal an
annuity is payable to the widow or chil
dren. This annuity, w hich is to equal
the employee's wages for 260 days every
year, is Eeen to be very liberal.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect
of the law is that it is passed in the in
terest of labor with imperial consent at
a time when the Government is giving
the strongest encouragement to manu
factures. 5bs Saw VIslo s or Drsaro :d Dreams
The Ballard Lodge of Elks, of Seattle,
Wash., is in a state of commotion be
cause its secrets have been learned bv a
woman. Mrs. E. II. King heard that
her husband was to be initiated. Curi
ous to know what the initiation was.
she climbed onto the roof of a building
just across a narrow alley from the Elk's
hall. The roof is on a level with one of
the lodgeroom windows. The plucky
woman secured a board and placed it
across tho eight-foot allev into a window
of tho Elks' lodgeroom. Climbing out
on this board ehe was enabled, because
of a crack in the lodgeroom window
blind, to see all that was going on and
as well to hear what was said. Then
ehe quietly climed off the roof, went to
her home and awaited the coming of her
husband.
When Mr. King stepped into the
house his wife begged him to tell her
what the lodge did to bim. He laughed
and sold it was all secret and that he
was not permited to tell. Then ehe be
gan a series of cross questions and told
him how ehe'bad learned the secrets.
The exalted ruler of the lodge was noti
fied. He visited Mrs. King and placed
her under oath not to reveal any of the
things Ehe saw or heard. But the cat
is oat of the bag. Mrs. King could not
hold the secret and now it is public
property, although the details of the
sights the woman saw she has refused
to tell about.
It is said that Mrs. King will demand
that she bo made an honorary member
of the Elks. There is but one other
woman in the world who has that hon
or, bne is from Uhio, and was taken
into the lodge because she secreted her
self in a lodgeroom and saw and beard
all that was going on. To protect the
lodge the woman was made an honorary
member.
The grand lodge of Elks has been
notified and will take np an investiga
tion 01 tho Ballard auatr.
