"Washington, Feb. 10. It is apparent that certain railroad intorests have bo como alarmed over the decided nnti railroad agitation that is manifesting itself in congress and in several states, and that their friends in the senato have been appealed to to settle upon the best rate bill they can get and got it before tho senato for action. It is TEN MEASURES FILED. Questions To Bo Submitted to Pooplo for Their Decision. Balom The last day for filing initia tive measures in the office of tho secre tary of state has passed and six meas ures were added to tho four already on filo. Tho bills and proposod amend ments to bo voted upon are as follows: The $1,000,000 appropriation bill passed b? tho last legislature and hold up by referendum petlttions. The local option bill proposed by tho Liquordealors' association as an amend ment to tho present local option law.

Some of the magnates believe that if they can get the members of the com mittee on interstate commerce of the senate together on a bill at once it will stop the agitation that is each day growing stronger against what are char acterized as "railroad lobbies" in vari ous states. The denunciation of tho railroad trust in West Virginia by Governor Dawson in a letter to the senate, the offering of a resolution in Pennsylvania to investigate coal-operating roads and the determination of many members of congress to secure an investigation of the alleged trust formed by the Penn "transportation," in a manner to In- cludo all auxiliary instrumentalities. This powqr to name a reasonable rate and the inclusion of the auxili aries within tho jurisdiction of tbo commission, are said to be the new features. All other provisions are mod ifications of existing law. They in clude publicity of railroad methods, which is 4o be aided by prescribing a system of bookkeeping, and enlarging the commission to seven members and increasing salaries of members to $100. 000 a year. t CHINESE GOOD SOLDIERS. Minister Discusses Agitation and Pre parations for War. Berlin, Feb. 9. General Tcbang Tcheng, the Chinese minister to Ger many, in tho course of an interview with the TageblattSq correspondent on the disquieting rumors from Uhina, said that China needed reform in her eylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, Chesapeake, head and limbs. Europe, ho said, & Ohio and Norvfolk & Western, have excited tear among the friends of rail-v roads that a remorseless crusade against them is about to begin. Chairman Elkins, of tho interstate commerce committee of the senate, who favors the railroad interests, and Sana tors Clapp and Dolliver, who have been fighting for action, held a private con ference of several hours this afternoon. It is believed a basis of compromise is being considered. had been surprised that Japan had be come greater than China, whose sol diers, and especially those in the north ern part of the empire, compare physic ally with the Prussian guards.

Will Be Converted to Suit Terms of Next Yacht Race. New York, Feb. 10. In discussing the possibilities ot a challenge for the America's cup from Sir Thomas Lipton or any foreign source, and the probable course of the New York Yacht club, on receipt of such a challenge, says to day's Times, the astonishing statement was made by a prominent member of the New York club yesterday that the Reliance would be used in all proba baity as the defender of the cup, even though the challenge called lor a race with schooners, as has been suggested and that to meet these conditions sh would be converted, as it is a perfectly practical suggestion and meets Si Thomas' and any other challenges at every point. If a 70-foot sloop, as suggested by Sir Thomas, is named as the cbal lenger, the challenge will be accepted and the Reliance will be used as the challenge boat, in spite of the big al Jowance she would have to give. If a 110-foot echooner is named, the Roll ance will be converted and will be still the defender. If a 00-foot sloop named, ifc will, of course, be the Reli ance which will cross the line as the defender of America's priceless trophy Under old rules or under new, the Ke liance is looked upon atf capable o successfully defending the cup and will is remain the club's ReKance. Poaching on Fund. Washington, Feb. 10. To the sur prise of many senators, the HanBbrough bill setting apart $1,000,000 out of the reclamation fund for the drainage of swamp lands in North Dakota slipped through the senate today. Several Western senators were- vigorously op posed to taking any money out of the reclamation fund to drain swamp lands and it was their purpose to oppose this bill, but it was called up when the sen ate was virtually, empty and went through without opposition. It will be fought in tho house. Relieve Forest Settlers. Washington, Feb. 10. The house of passed a bill providing that settlers within forest rserves who have relin quished title to their land since the ljeu land law was repealed may recover title to their.original holdings. As matters now stand, these settlers can neither make lieu selection nor recover the land which they relinquished. The house refused to pass a bill permitting set tlers of this class to perfect their lieu selectionr. Grain Trust Ordered Dissolved. Lincoln, Neb., Feb, 10.

China, the minister continned, strongly wishes for commercial deal ings with foreign countries, but prefers those without Chinese colonies.

The minister was asked if the navy and army remfoi cements which the APPIAN WAY OF AMERICA. Perfect Road Will Be Built Straight Across Ohio. Cleveland, Feb. 9. Within a year work will be begun by the National Good Roads association on a great highway extending clear across the state of Ohio, from the Pennsylvania to the Indiana line, that will be one of tho finest in the world, and, like the Appian Way, will be built to last for all time to come. This is the informa tion given out today by Colonel W. H. Moore, president of the association. The road, which will be the first to be built across a state under the author ity of an organization since the old Federal roads, will cost (1,500,000. Of this amount, Colonel Moore says $750,000 has already been put up by certain interests that ho will not now reveal, and the.remainder will be se cured from the counties through which it will pnss.

This action is subject to tho rat ification of the executive committee of the congress, but it is customary to rat- fy tho choice of the people where the congress is to be held in tho matter of dates. the road. A few other buildings have been erected at Austin and the place is beginning to assume tho proportions of a village. There is no authenticated report current as to whether the Sump ter Valley intends to extend its line be yond that point during tho coming sea son or not. Klamath Horses Sell High. Merrill J. Frank Adams has just sold 100 head of horses, to Charles Stewart, of San Francisco,' for prices ranging from $100 to $150 each. Mr Stewart purchased the horses to tako to San Francisco and perhaps a large portion of thorn will go to Honolulu or be transorted for service in the United States army. Sixty head of the ani mals brought $100 each and 40 head were sold at $150 each. They averaged from 1,250 to 1,500 pounds each, and some of them were only halter broken. This is considered a good price. Road Taps Mining District. Baker City A special trom Sampter says it is assured that the Sumpter Electric railroad to the mining camp of Bourne will bo built this spring. W. E, Hurd, of Portland, and Anthon Mohr, of Sumpter, are in the East, in the interest of the new road, which is planned to handle ores more cheaply. They pay tho road is practically financ ed. It will be an electric line about eon miles long, serving ono oi tho rich tat mining camps in the Northwest. Range Horses Die by Score. Baker City It is reported hero Trom the ranges of Baker county that scoros of horses, turned out by their owners to feed themselves during the winter months, have starved to death, while many others are in a most pitiable con dition. This 1b caused by the unusual ly deep snows, which prevent the ani mals from reaching the dried grasses of the ranges, on which they usually de pend for their winter stibstenance.

Dallas R. Robinson, of Tillamook, is in Dallas and plans to establish a cbeeso factory here. Mr. Robinson says if tbo farmers will guarantee 250 cows to start with ho will immediately make all arrangements for tho plant. He expects to rent space in the DsIIbb crashing into tho Pullman. ice plant, where cold Btorage will bo convenient, thereby avoiding the ex pense and delay of building. Mr. Rob inson already owns several plants in Oregon. morn lug at 7:50, telescoping tho Pullman car Galatea, killing four persona and injuring a ecoro of othors. Euglno 103 in chargo of Engineor William Swain becamo unmanageable nnd dashod into train No. 3, which was standing on tho track at Bridal Veil. Had it not been for the proeenco of mind of Silas Smith brukoman on tho Chicago-Portland Ex pross. who pulled ttio emergency cord when ho roallzod tho train was beyond control of tho engineor and was running away, thus sotting tho brakes, tho col lielon would havo been ono of tho worst in tho history of Western railroading. Train No. 3 had stopped at Brlda Voil station, and was delayed thoro by its engine, which was out of order. When about four miles east of Bridal Voil tho locomotlvo hauling tho Chi cago-Portland Express got out ot ordor and becamo unmanageable. - Tho injector pipo had broken Insldo the cab, letting out a flood of steam and driving tho engineer and flroman out of tho cab. Engineor Bwain roach od for tho throttlo to stop the engine, but could not reach it. In a moment ho heard torpedoes on tho track and re alized that tho Spokano r Iyer was ahead on tho main track, and rushed back Into tho cloud of burning steam that filled tho cab in an effort to stop tho flying train. Ho groped about for tho lovers ho could not see, fearing even to breathe in tho deadly atmosphere, suf fcring tortures to his scorched hands and face, and, finally befilod, was com pelled to retreat to the ongino tender. Both ho and tho fireman then leaped to tho connections botween tho tender and tho mail car and tried to reach tho air hose and break tho connection, tlniB ap plying tho brakos, but Engineor Swain's hands wore so terribly burned they wore useless, and ho could not dis connect the hoao. Meanwhllo Silas Smith, living at Second and Grant streets, Portland, who was brakuman on No. 5, realized tho engine was beyond tho control of the engineer and pulled tho emergency cord, setting tho brakes. This slowed the train, and tho locomotlvo was do tnched from tho train and shot ahead. In a mo- Use Sagebrush Fuel. Salem W. E. Burke, of Harney county, representing the Portland Land company, was before tho State Land board at its last meeting arranging to perfect proof of reclamation for about 9,000 acres, under the Carey act, in Harney county, near Burns. This com pany will obtain water from wells by pumping, using sagebrush or fuel to generate tho Bteam power. For Experiment Station.
