Berlin, March 16. Thirty Russian students, several of them women, have received yesterday and today from the police, notices of expulsion in consequence of participating in a meeting held Sunday to protest against the government permitting Russian police agents to watch Rus sian residents in Germany. The stu dents have from three to eight days in which to leave the country, and may select the frontier to cross, the government not compelling them to return to Russia, as in some former instances. The origin of the dispute between the government and the students, about 500 of whom are attending the university and technical schools, was I in the socialist accusation that the ! government was permitting Russian spies to seareii the rooms, examine the correspondence and otherwise in terfere with the liberty of Russians living in Germany. Foreign Secre retary von Richthofen, in defending the government January 19, said the Russians here were anarchists, and that many of the women attending the university or other schools were really not students, but lived in a state of immorality. A few days later from 40 to 50 Russians passed a resolution protest ing against these imputations. Chancellor von uuiow, answering Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader, on the same subject February 29, con temptuously alluded to the protes tants as "beggars and conspirators under the leadership of ilandelstamns and Silberbaums." If these fellows do not keep quiet, said the Chancellor, "we will throw them out." About 400 Russian students met on Saturday and signed a statement reciting the utterances of Secretary von Richthofen and Chancellor von Bulow. Referring to the Chancel- ; tor's assertion that they were abusing 'the hospitality of Germany, the Rus sians said that even guests had the natural right of resenting insults flung at them by their hosts. Besides this," the statement con tinued, "he undertook, by referring to the Jewish origin of part of the Russians here, to arouse anti-Semitic prejudices against us. Count von Bulow, the highest official of the German empire, has not scrupled, un der the protection of his privileged position to call us beggars. The fact that most of the Russians living here are of Jewesh origin is due, as Count von Bulow well knows, to the special opposition to which the Jews are ex posed in Russia, which excludes them from the higher educational institu tions of their native country. We regard that the 20th century in the and of Lessing and Fichte witnesses such disregard for the great idea of humanity a3 evidenced by these anti- semitic sallies of the German Chan cellor." From 428 persons who signed the statement, 30 are selected for expul- sion. WILL REPORT FAIR BILL. House Committee to Decide Amount of Appropriation Today. Washington, March 16 Repre sentative Tawney, of Minnesota", chairman of the House committee on expositions stated today that a meet ing of the full committee will be held tomorrow morning at 10:30 to con sider the Lewis and Clark Centeqnjal bill. He announced further that this would probably begthe final meeting of the committee on this subject, and that the bill which has been under consideration for some time would be reported at this meeting, Of course, it cannot yet be known , what appro? priation it will carry, but it is believed by members of the committee who have talked with the Oregon people about it that the appropriation will be a generous one, though not equal to the amount appropriated by the' Senate. EXPECT A REVELATION. Feeling of Intense Expectancy Among Membes of Congress. Washington, March 16 The spe cial committee of the House on the Postoffice report haa, it is understood received the report known as "exhib it Q." This document has never been made public and the feeling created among members by the thorough manner in which the special commit tee is dealing with the task 'assigned it is growing somewhat intense. Revelations of new "deals" are hinted at in the cloakrooms. In the mean- RUSSIAN while the special committee is carry ing on its work behind closed doors. An all-day session was held today. Colorado Union Labor Fucds. Telluride, Col., March 15. After months of more or les3 stormy scenes this city was last night given a fur ther surprise in the ejectment from the camp of entire families of union miners and their sympathizers. One hundred members of the Citizens' Al- iliance, which includes many well- known business men, set an example in lawlessness, by marching fully armed to the homes of their oppo nents, or those whom they regarded with disfavor. J The raid took place shortly after midnight and was directed principal' ly against those miners and sympa thizers who were on a previous occa sion ordered from the city. Whole families were compelled to fall.into line of march and were driven to the railway station, where they were guarded by pickets until a train for deportation was due. In several cases a determined re sistance was made by miners or friends, who refused to surrender, or summon their famile3 for an ex odus. In two cases the resistance became so effective that pitched bat tles followed, in which several men were severely beaten, one being ren dered unconscious. The mob, toward the close of the roundup, became more lenient toward the families of the evicted, but warned them that they would be expected to leave the city immediately. When the train on which the de ported miners were placed arrived, at 2 o'clock this morning, the men were warned that they must not again return to Teilurride under pain of immediate death. Several of the miners who were thus compelled to leave declared they would return at a later time and in -sufficient num bers to prevent a recurrence of what they style "wholesale whitecapping." It is not believed, however, that serious trouble will result. Senator Mitchell for Primary Law. United States Senator John II. Mitch ell has placed hitugelf on record in favor of a direct primary election law. Attor ney W. S. U'Ren ol Oregon City, one of the drafters of the proposed measure, today received the following from Sena tor Mitchell in answer to an inquiry as to the senator's position: "Washington, D. C, March 14. Hon. W. S. U'Ren, Attorney, Oren City I think it hardly necessary to state I am earnestly in favor of direct primary election law and you and all others can put me down as a friend and supporter of Euch a measure. And so far as I can see the bill copy sent me meots the case. JOHN II. MITCHELL. "There has been much talk," said Mr. U'Ren to the effect that Senator Mitch ell was not .behind the direct primary more and that occasioned me to write him. Wo shall endeavor to place on record the county convention of the several states as to their stand on the direct primarjquestion. A Remedy Offered. Republicans in every part of the state are lamenting and condemning the fac tional fight now waging within the party in Multnomah county. The contest is denounced as being unnecessary, harm ful to the party, and not promising of improvement in public service. Fre quently the desire ia expressed in repub lican papers of outside counties that 6ome way be found to punish the repub licans of Multnomah for their 'persist ence in continuing a factional fight which-is declared to have no purpose other than to subserve ersonal ambi tion. Leaders in the party outside of Multnomah are seeking gome means of combining so aa to show their displeas ure in an effective nanner. If it is admitted that the convict in this county has its origin in the desire of rival politicians to secure control of the party machinery in order to retain or acquire political power, or to insuro election to office, it seema as if a remedy might ue fouud in the enactment of the direct primary nomination law now pending before the people and awaiting their action at the olection in Juno. The outlook eeems very good for the ap proval of that measure by thp pcopjo, and if such should bo tho rcp-H factional lines in every county will be irreparably broken. By the adoption of the direct primary plan of choosing candidates tho people will tak.e away from political boegea tho power to control tho distribu tion of offices, and the end for which tho political bosa works will bo gone.

Glendale, Or., Fob. 25, IDOL 13-ml-p MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED Prominent Silver Lake Merchant Seen Since Friday Morning:. Not J. C. Conn, a prominent merchant and business man of this place, myster rousiy maappeared last Friday morn ing between 7 and 8 o'clock, and up to this time nothing hag been heard or seen of the miseing man. Searching parties composed of overv ablo bodied man in the valley were orcanized. horse men scoured the entire country to the snow line and a thoroueh search was made in which Silver cro?k was drodued lor over a milo, but in vain. Some think it was suicide while oth era talk of foul play. Generally speak mg the entire community is thunder struck and a black cloud hangs over the mysterious evont. The people of Silver L.8,ico and surrounding country will not give up until something is brought to liiflit of tho lost one. No one had noticed anything strange in Mr. Conn's manner as ho ecemed to bo in his right mind up to the time he disappeared. Mr. Conn in company with Prof. K. B. Jackson and one or two others ate breakfast at the Silver Lake Hotel about 7 O'clock. Mr. Conn and the Prof. left tho hotel together, Mr. 'Jackson went to the school house while Mr. Conn made his way direct to his place of business. Frank Payne, who is clerking for Mr. Conn was sweep ing, when Conn walked in and asked the clerk if he had been to breakfast, Frank informed him that he had, he then asked If the Primeville mail had arrived being told that it had he turned and walked out. T. J. Roberts who is clerking for F. M. Chrisnkn, was in tho postoffice at this time and says he is confident that Mr. Conn called for his mail. Ho was seen a short time after he left tho post office by Mrs. R. H. Mosby and her two small boys as he was walking up the Primeville road about one-half mile west of town. Mrs. Mosbv sava after ho passed the house a short distance he stopped and looked back toward town then went on up the road, this was the last time he was ever seen. A very short time after he had vanished from Mrs Mosby's sight. R. F. Ward who reiides about three-quarters of a mile wet of town heard a pistol shot some where near the Silver Lake bridre. - , thinking it was some of the boys that were hunting, he thought nothing strange end cave it no further attention until Saturday noon, when Mr. Payne began to gre w uneasy as to tho where abouts of hi" employer as he had left eaaly Friday morning without leaving any word with him and had gone with out his overcoat or overshoe. After investigating it was found that he had not occupied his room or had not been eoen by any one since Friday. Mr Payne suspecting something was wrong went to tho drawer where Mr. Conn kept two revolvers. He discovered that one was gone and the one missing had not been in use for a year or more. Pavne im mediately informed the citizens of the full details of the strange affair, and a searching party was orcanized at once composing of at least 50 men. Mrs. Mosbyand K. b. Ward were interview ed, in which it was found that tho lady bad seen Mr. Conn pass up the road J about S:l5 o'clock. A short time after! Mr. Ward hearinc tho report of a shot near the Silver creek bridee and UDon inquiry in the matter it was found that I no one In the valley had fired a'ehot of ; any kind in that vicinity at any time during that day. This is strong evidence of either suicide or foul play, which icaua me citizens oi me vauey to be lieve that the body of the missine man lies in tho bottom of Silver creek and the distance will not exceed one mile from this place. On account of hich water it ia impos sible to make any further search in the creek at present, but iust as soon n th creek falls it will be dredged thoroughly lor the body and no doubt it will brim? about some development in the case o John C. Conn was born in Douglas county, Oregon in 1SC0, being 44 years of age. Ho came to Lake county in 1886 and clerked for hU brother Vinril o in a general merchandise at Paisley un til 1S92 when he came to Silver Lako and started in the merchantile business, of which he conducted until late Friday morning. Mr. Conn was recognized as one of tho leading merchants of Lake county and was always found upright and honest in all his dealings, Ho was a man that was verv conser vative, although ho had many warm friends. Ho took very little interest in nythin outside his own business. Mr. Conn waa a member of the Pais ley Lodgo A. F. & A. M. Ho has threo brothorB in Lake county who survivo him.

A serious Appeal to the Democrats of the Country. Tho Evening Post has been reluctant to speak of tho Presidential candidacy of W. R. Hearst. Wo havo felt it to be one of those things that ''now! much washing to bo touched j" and had hoped that its grotcsqne and humiliation aa pects would put him out of considera tion by all but tho bought and rotten. But it is ovidont that his unblushing campaign based, as a Democratic Sen ator has said, purely upon "chock and a check book" is making a headway, Hearst stands today, in fact, as the greatest temptation to tho domocratio party to play tho fool and break its neck acain.' Almoiit any other candidate prominently mentioned would havo chance ol election and could preserve honor even in defeat : but Hearst is enough to sink any cause and damn any ptrty. The possibility of his securing tho iiuminauon wmcii decent men can contemplate only with a shudder de pends wholly upon ignorance of tho man and his methods. Hence the duty of a public warning betimes. It is not sim ply that we revolt at Hearst's huiro vnl ganty ; at his front of bronze: at his shrieking unfitness mentally for the of fico which ho sets out to buv. All this goes without saying. There never haa been a case of a man of such slender in tellectual equipment, absolutely with out exptirienca in office, impudently flaunting his wealth before the eyea of the people and saying, "Make mo Presi dent. This ia folly. This is to degrade public life. But there is soinetbine darker and more fearful behind. It is well known that this man has a record which ronld make it impossible for him to live through a Presidential campaign luch gutters would be draeeod. such sewers laid opei ! "c cm c ly refer to tho loathsor ; - j . . l.s. those who want a hint ol the repulsive details turn to the Congressional Record of Jan uary 8, ISO". They ill find a speech by Kepresentative Johnson, of California snowing tho kind of millstone which would be hung about Hearst's neck if he were eYer to come before the voters We consider it the duty of honest newspapers to iet these facts be known. It is more than a partv matter. Demo crats, it la true, have a special motive for wishing to prevent their partv from being disgraced ; but there h a large question of patriotism Involved , as to which Republicans also should show that they are sensitive. Thev cannot wish to see the opposition debauched. The example would be too generally de nizing. Aext would come tho turn of the Republican party. If the Hearst millions can purchase the Democratic nomination today, who knows that some financial Cataline will net instruct his brokers to buy the Republican nom ination, four years hence? The country cannot afford to have its inn-mis of honor trailed in the mud of the market place. That would be a calamity to all both it citizens of any party. We have not vet reached the point where we can bo indifferent to the spectacle of an as pirant for our highest office being an Aicibiades without talent or courage or porfonal charm, and with 1mt little profligacy to entitle bits to the name.
