TOO MUCH TROUBLE AT HOME Hay' if the PlanS of the government
attorneys carry.
The present week will be a busy one,
for it will bring to light some of the
entanglements of those high in the
confidence of the state and the nation
and will show still further the extent
and scope of the land frauds which
have been carried on in many cases to
completion and in others practically to
that stage during the past lew years.
During the week it was rumored that
Representatirve J. N. Williamson will
come under the notice of the Federal
grand jury, not once, but twice. It is
said that the next few days will see the
junior representative of the state in
dicted for his alleged connection with
various land deals in the vicinity of
his home at Prineville and also for
fraudulent transactions in the Blue

London, Feb. 7. The highest
thority is claimed by the St. Petersburg
correspondent of the London Daily
Chronicle for the statement that the
grand ducal party has suddenly decided
that Russia must sue for peace.
The correspondent states that the
grand dukes and their supporters have
held frequent conferences of late at
which they discussed the Far Eastern
war and came to the conclusion that
the country could not afford to con
tinue the war under the present condi
tions. The immediate cause for this
change of mind on the part of the very
men who have richt alone stood in the
way of peace is said to' have been the mystery which the government officials
Thursday, February 2.
The postoffice appropriation bill was
the main topic of discussion in the
house today and its consideration was
not completed. During the day bills
were passed as follows : Amending the
law so as to reduce the amount of
bond required of agents acting for con
signees on imported goods ; providing
for the construction of irrigation and
reclamation works in certain lakes and
rivers in Oregon and California ; grant
ing certain lands within the Flathead
Indian reservation, Montana, to certain
Catholic societies for religious purposes.
The senate spent much of today diS'
cussing the distribution ot ordinary
farm and garden seeds by the Agricul
tural department. When adjournment
was taken consideration of the bill had
not been completed. A further con
ference was ordered on the fortifications
appropriation bill.
Friday, February 3.
The house today passed the
postomce appropriation bill, carrying
$180,787,415. ;
In the senate today Judge Swayne
made formal response to the articles of
impeachment against him. The an
swer was a formidable document in
point of size. In every case the charge
was admitted, but explained from
udge Swayne's point of view, they
were not ot a character to justify pro
ceedings for impeachment. The senate
issued an order requiring the house to
file its reply by next Monday, and di
rected that all pleadings shall be in by
February 9, that the trial may proceed
on February 10. The senate sitting as
a court, then adjourned and resumed
legislative consideration of the joint
statehood bill. That topic occupied
the rest of the day.
Saturday, February 4. -
Long occupied most of the time given
by the senate today to the statehood
bill with a speech in support ot the bill
as it stands. There was an extended
debate on a provision in the agricul-
tural appropriation bill relating to for
est reservations.' . ,
The house today passed the diplo
matic and consular appropriation bill'
carrying $2,107,047, which is an in
crease of $78,713 over the concurrent
appropriation. A number of minor
bills were disposed of by unanimous
consent.
recent disaster to the Russian arms
the Hun river.
Coupled with the news of this defeat
has come to the grand dukes the reali
zation that they cannot compete with
Japan's ability to throw army after
army into Manchuria, especially in
view of the internal situation, which
may render further mobilization of
reservist troops almost impossible
The correspondent states that, ac
cordingly, the Russian embassy at
Pans has been asked to gain the good
will of Great Britain with a view to
mitigating the terms which Japan is
likely to impose.
STREET CAR OVERTURNS.
Portland Wreck Causes One Death
and Thirty-one Injuries.
Portland, Jheb. 7. One man was
killed and 31 persons injured, some of
them fatally, by the wrecking of a car
of the Portland Consolidated railway
company on the M mtavilla line, at
the corner of East Twenty-eiehth and
East Glisan streets, at 7:20 o'clock yes
terday morning. The-accident oc
curred on a sharp curve at the base of
a steep incline. The. car s momentum
was so great that it was unable to make
the turn and was overturned. There
were 66 passengers on the car at the
time of the accident, the majority be-
ing business men and employes on their
way to work in the heart of the city.
It is a question whether the motor-
man lost control ot the car or wnetner
he did not use the usual precautions
until it was too late. Five blocks from
the scene of the accident the car was
running at a speed greatly in excess of
the rate specified in the city ordinances
governing street car traffic. One pas
senger, who stood on the front platform
of the car beside the motorman, de
clares that no effort was made to gov
ern the speed ot the car until it was
almost rounding the curve. The street
car company says the brakes had been
set as shown by the fact that the wheels
were worn smooth by sliding.
READY TO FIGHT.

sideraton by the committee on inter

islation looking to the regulation
freight rates.
Deoate on the joint statehood bill

Many Killed at Riga.
St. Petersburg , Feb. 3. The latest
reports received by Consul General
Watts, from the American consuls in
Russia, indicate a cessation of th&
trouble in most of the industrial cen
ters. The consul at Riga reports that
the rioting at that place was precipitat
ed by students and rowdies, who .fired
on the police. The police and trooi
returned the hre, and 63 persons were
killed and 150 , wounded. ' At Reval
the soldiers were obliged to defend
factory on . Saturday against a mob
Three strikers were killed. x
Sold Mining Stock on Routes.
Washington, Feb. 3. Postmaster
General Wynne today removed three
letter carriers in' the Toledo, O., post
office, ordered a fourth man to show
cause why he should ' not be removed
and suspended 30- other carriers, all of
the Tolt-do office, for 30 days on the
charge of selling mining stock and of
collecting the assessments thereon. Jit
is charged that the men sold this min
ing stork while on duty as carriers, as
well as when off duty.
alone would be able, at this time, to
tell. They have nothing to say. But
in spite of this reticence, it is made
known from various sources that the
end of the week will see more persons
implicated in the land frauds than have
as yet hinted at or thought of. .
In addition to the names of Mr.
Williamson are mentioned those of
various of the former special agents of
the government, and several of the ex-
special agents who have been sent to
this territory to look into the alleged
irregularities of the land department
Beyond a rumor that several- of the
special agents are under the eye of the
grand jury, nothing definite can be
learned. However, it can be stated
with a reasonable degree of certainty
that former employes of the Interior de
partment in Oregon will be brouht to
book for irregular work done by them
during their terms of office. It is
further safe to predict that Saturday
will see the adjournment of the jury
Until the March term calls the men
once more to the task of probing into
the irregularities of the land transac
tions of Oregon.

Warlike Talk of High British Official

Berlin, Feb. 7. At the foreign office
it was said this afternoon that Ger
many would ask England for an ex
planation of the provocative anti-Ger
man speech made at East Leigh, Feb
ruary 2, by Arthur H. Lee, civil lord of
the admiralty, in which he said that
Britain would smash an unnamed en
emy in the North sea before that enemy
had time to realize that war had been
declared. The foreign office said :

Will Fight Near Sandepas.
St. Petersburg, Feb 7. Military
operations in Manchuria continue at a
standstill. No importance is attached
by the war office to the Japanese move
ments on the Russian center and left,
which are regarded as merely demon
strations. tieneral Heisman, a war
critic, expresses the opinion ' that the
Russians are not likely to surrender the
positions captured northeast of Sande
pas, and that 'a series of encounters
there will probably continue until the
weather is favorable for a general ad
vance. .;
Large Allotment from Army Post Fund
Likely To Be Secured.
Washington, Feb. 7. The army ap
propriation bill, recently passed by con
gress, carries a large appropriation tor
the improvement of army posts, v This
money is distributed by the secretary
of war, he approving allotments which
are made up by the quartermaster gen
eral. Senator Ankeny and Representa
tive Jones have arranged to call upon
the secretary of war and ask for a lib
eral slice of that lump sum for making
much-needed improvements at Vancou
ver barracks.
Reports which have been submitted by
the officers at Vancouver show the urg
ent necessity for many new buildings
to replace, .the antiquated and dilapi
dated structures now standing. Of
course they ask for more money than
can be had, something over $1,000,000
in all. Nevertheless, an attempt will
be made to get a liberal portion of this
fund..
me largest item recommended is
$350,000 for erecting a new building
for headquarters offices, a building of
brick, with stone trimmings, large
enough to accomodate all the officecrs
assigned to headquarters, together with
the clerical force of the post. "It is also
asked that four additional double in
fantry barracks be erected at a cost of
$230,000, and in additionl quarters for

Tokio, Feb. 7. After the most heat
ed debate which has yet taken place in
the Japanese house of representatives,
the amendments to the mining lan pro
hibiting foreigners to work Japanese
mines was passed during Monday's ses-
jn. The bill was fought bitterly by
the foreign residents having mining in

good will, it is believed by many, to be
important and necessary at this time.
