IPERATIVE NEXT OCTOBER Postoffice Officials Believe Increased v v I Commercial Intercourse Will Bo the Result. ' Washington, June 4. Postmaster General Meyer announced today that nn agreement had been reached with the .British government providing for letter postage of 2 cents an ounce between the United States and Great Britain and IrelanH, to become oper ative October 1, 1908. The matter of "penny postage," as it is-called in England, has been under consideration for some time, ,and as far back as last July President Roose velt, approved Mr. Meyer's course in urging a "restricted union with Eng land!" On October 1, 1907, the Universal Postal Union, which governs the in ternational postage transactions of the various civilized countries, re duced the rate of letter postage from 5 cents a half-ounce flat to 5 cents per ounce, and 3 cents each additional ounce, which is the present rate be tween the United States and countries with which we do not have direct steamship communication, but on mail on which we have to pay an additional charge to countries through which it passes in transit. Under the articles of the Universal Union, however, any two states can form a restricted union. Examples of restricted unions are those now existing which permit a 2-ccnt an ounce letter rate between the United States and Canada. Postmaster General Meyer believes this reduction in the rate to the United Kingdom ultimately will re sult in an increase in receipts, because it has been found that a reduction in the letter rate resulted finally in in creased revenue. He is also of the opinion that a lower postage will lead to a freer commercial intercourse. Manufacturers, he says, are increasing their sales in England and must rely to a. great extent upon mails for or ders and increase xf trade. "Further," he stated", "this will be a great boon to our adopted English speaking citizens and their connection here, as it will enable them to keep up correspondence with their relations and friends in the old country at do mesttc rates.

Heney Fears Enemies May Get Galla gher and Plans Accordingly. San Francisco, June 4. Convinced that the "higher-ups" have deicrmined to kill former Supervisor James Gallagher, Assistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney announced yes terday that he will dismiss the case in which Abraham Ruef is charged with bribing former Supervisor J Furey, because Gallagher's testimony before the grand jury led to the in dictment. The testimony of a dead man given before a grand jury cannot be us'ed in future action. Repeated attacks on Gallagher's property with dynamite and continuous threats against his life have led Heney to take steps to pre vent the loss of Gallagher's testimony through his death. It is Hency's purpose to file a new information against Ruef in the same premises and call uauagner as a wit . . . ... t l : T. ness at tne preliminary wiiik . . . .. ? ... . i If his testimony is taken in this way, it will be on record. The necessity for such unusual meth ods is believed to be urgent by the members of the prosecution, who fear for their own lives as well as for that of Gallaeher. This orobablv will be the next pro eedure acrainst Ruef in the Kraft cases and. it is proposed to take it as rapid ly as possible, as the prosecution dc lieves that the "higher-ups' are oe coming more desperate every day. Scores Perish in Tornado. Wichita Falls, Tex., June 4. Scores of persons are believed to be dead in the path of a tornado which is sweep ing Texas today. Reports indicate that it is the most terrific of all the storms which have visited this part o the country in the last month. Com munication from most of the damaged area is cut off. Wires are down and railroad tracks are blocked. Many small towns are known to have been struck by the twister, but no definite information could be obtained as to the extent of damage this atternoon. Mississippi on Annual Rampage. St. Louis, June 4. The Mississippi river above yuwey, in., is rapiaiy ris ing, and hundreds of homes have a!

Just at the close of the ceremonies attending the canoni zation of Emilc Zola in the Pantheon yesterday, when the president of 1 ranee, the premier and a host of ministers of state were takintr their departure, Louis Antheno Gregoris a military writer of note, drew a re volver and fired two shots point-blank at Major Alfred Dreyfus, for whose liberty Zola fought and won. Men distinguished in all walks of life filled the Pantheon and, when the shots rang out, there was great ex citement in fear that the president had been assassinated, but even the attempt on the life of Major Dreyfus created a profound impression. Sol diers speedily surrounded Gregoris and he was aken to jail, bruised and bleeding, with his clothes almost torn from his back. Major Dreyfus was not seriously injured- A bullet entered his forearm,, but did not injure fhe bone. At a late hour the official statement was made that his condition was very fa vorable and that no complications were feared. With regard to the erasons for Gre goris' act, the opinion prevails in Paris that there is much truth in his avowal that he was driven to the deed by the appeals to hatred with which the anti Semitic papers have been filled since the government resolved to place the body of Zola in the Pantheon. PLANS TO HONOR FLEET. Festivities in Auckland Will Continue Four Days. Auckland, N. S. W., June 5. Fes tivities to last over four days have been arranged for the entertanimcnt of the men of the American battle ship fleet and the governor of New Zealand, all the federal officials, the mayors and the municipal authorities are to participate in the welcome. On Portland, June 4. Governor Cham berlain's plurality over Cake for United States senator will be about 1700. He now has 1546. Complete returns from a large number of coun ties increase previous estimates. For example, Malheur, which had pre viously. been in the Chamberlain col umn by 100. nearly doubles that plu rality by giving him 190, with five small precincts still to hear from. Cake's previous lead of 18 in Benton county is' cut down to eight, while in Clatsop the full vote raises the Demo crat's plurality from 300 to 357. Crook county, too, gives Chamberlain a lead of 224 over his competitor,-- The full vote of Douglas shows that each sen atorial candidate has 1890 votes. If this is correct, it shows a slight lqss to the Democratic candidate. Gilliam county comes in with only 20 for the Republican nominee, while Lake, hitherto in dispute, adds 70 to the Chamberlain column. Lane cOUntv. however, as the country precincts are heard trom, continues to acnl to the Cake figures. In Wallowa county, with 11 out of 20 precincts. Cake has a lead of 113, which will -probably iiiicii uu. iianon, wim every vote counted, shows just 11 for Cake, while Multnomah, with the count complete and a total of more than 25.000 for the two candidates, shows just 991 for the governor. Mr. Cake has carried 19 counties and Mr. Chamberlain 13, counting Douglas a tie. The state at large, outside of Multnomah,"on the vote so far at hand, has given Chamberlain a plurality of 052. Seventeen counties out of 33 are complete, and most of thc others are practically complete. It is not probable that, fhe final re turns will make a difference of more than 100 votes in Governor Chamber lain's plurality one way or the other. Hawley, Republican, is elected ' to congress in the first district by 15.000 or more, and Ellis, Republican, by 15,000 or more in the second district. Bean, Republican, for supreme judge, has a very large vote, having no op position, while Bailey. Republican, for food and dairy commissioner, wins by 25.000 to 30.000.. Campbell. Republi can, is successful for railroad commis sioner in the fy-st. district, and Aitchi son, Republican, for railroad commis sioner, for the "second district, has 5000 or more plurality.
