China is adopting more measures against foreigners. A bottle message set afloat in 1882 has just been picked up in Seattle har bor. Trepoff has nervous prostration from the continual strain to which he is sub jected. Japan is getting considerably worked up orer the killing of Japanese sealers by Americans. Train loads of Farley's strike break ers en route to San Francisco had to Btrike for better food. The revolution in Cuba is spreading far and wide, and the government fears outside intervention, probably by the United States. The officials of the United Railways of San Francisco have agreed to the ar bitration of the street car Btrike pro vided the men return to work in the meantime. Secretary Wilson, after inspecting the packing houses in several of the large cities, refuses to make concessions to the packers, and it appears that he did not find things as nice as they might be. Five hundred lawyers are attending the meeting of the American Bar asso ciation in St. Paul. San Francisco has contracted for the building of 4,000 small houses, to be finished iin 12 weeks. It is estimated by the Panama canal commission that $25,000,000 worth of work can be done annually. Four Greek laborers were killed and another fatally injured by being struck by a Baltimore & Ohio train. Chinese are planning to establish a chain of newspapers in Canada with which to combat the $500 per capita tax. The city scaler of Chicago has order ed suits begun against four of the larg est packing houses in that city for sel ling short weight lad. President Roosevelt has cabled to King Frederick, through the American minister, his congratulations on the opening of the cable to Iceland.

Santigo in Rebellion Insurgents Con trol Santa Clara Province. Havana, Sept. 4. The situation here is far darker than at any previous time since the insurrection broke out. News of an uprising in Santiago province, while not yet published here, is spread ing about the city and caus'ng the gravest concern. When Mr. Sleeper, the American charge d'affaires here, was told the contents of an Associated Pre68 Santiago dispatch, he endeavored to verify it through the State depart ment, but was told it was absolutely untrue. Subsequently it was verified from private newspaper sources. The extent of the rising in Santiago is not known, bat it is the opinion nere that the worst calamity of all to the Palma government would be an insurrection in Eastern Cuba. The Associated Press was informed tonight by two reliable eyewitnesses that Cardenas, which hitherto has been considered a perfectly peaceful city, was the scene yesterday of desultory fighting between police and rural guards on one side and roving insur gents on the other. The only province remaining per fectly peaceful is Puerto Principe. The Associated Press correspondent at Cienfuegos telegraphed tonight that there are 3,000 armed insurgents in that vicinity and that all the small towns in Santa Clara province are con trolled by insurgents, who attack and loot trains ana eeize the property cf foreigners as well as that of Cubans Trinidad is surrounded by insurgents and the government appears powerless to protect the property of Americans and other foreigners. Railway trains are held up at will, and passengers searched. The Cuban Central rai road has declined to assume responsibility for the safety of passengers or freight Recruiting for government forces is making good progress here. The gov ernment continues to make fine head way wherever there is open fighting The troops in the western part of Pinar del Rio have not yet come up with Pino Guerrera, and, according to the Associated Press correspondent with ths troops, there is no present likelihood of their doing so, as the troops might march for ten years and all the while Guerrera would be just ahead of them in the hills. There ara thousands of mount ain trails with which the insurgents are familiar and which lead in all directions. If Guer rera cared to harass the government, its troops could te killed only sharp shooters. The government has no cav alry in Picar del Rio, and the only real soldiers are the artillerymen, but, as they are on foot, they cannot cope with the well mounted veterans on the insurgent side. NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM THE STATE OF OREGON PAY OF TEACHERS. FREEZE OUT FOREIGNERS. The police of Riga captured a depot of revolutionary stores, including 24 bombs. A policeman, two gendarmes and a conductor were killed on a train by band of seven revolutionists near Tarn- boff, Russia.

A man traveling overland in New Mexico found two men sitting upright in their wagon, dead, and their four mule team also dead. They had been struck by lightning. The city of Troy, Montana, suffered a $10,000 loss by fire in its business district. Three were killed and ten injured in a Great Northern trainwreck in Montana. American and British Merchants Fear Enmity of China. Victoria, B. C, Sept. 4. Advices re ceived from Pekin by the steamer Tar tar tell of increasing anti-foreign mach inations. The corrspondent of the To kio Mainichi reports that Tung Saoyi, vice minister of foreign affairs, is tak ing advantage of his growing influence in the government to strengthen the powers of Chinese who have been ap pointed directors of customs, having the support of the an i-foreign element among the Chineee. . The correspondent says Ameiican and British communities are much in censed at the Chinese attitude, Ameri cans in particular feeling great anxiety a? to the future course ol events 1 1 China. The Pekin police have in structed Chinese that no premises of anv kind must be rented to foreigners. The eame correspondent says that the ChineEe comiesioners who have re turned irom travels abroad have bad a conference with the emperor and em press dowager and the decision was reached to formulate a constitution for China. The Asahi'8 correspondent says dras tic changes in the central and provin cial administrations are contemplated. At Pekin there will be a premier and two general secretaries to control the eight state departments and in each vi-e royalty the administration will be divided into seven sections. Chitung Chou Fuh is quoted to the effect that the constitutional government in China w 11 be established in the course of from 10 to 15 years. Insurgent Office in New York. New York, Sept. 4. In an office building at Pine and Water streets the Cuban junta established offices today Colonel Aguirre, Major Joseph A. Cas tellancy and Senor Nordose, who will be the official representatives of the revolutionary movement in this coun try, were present. There were no cere monies.

Salem Salaries of public school teachers in Oregon are now higher than ever before in the history of the state Thirty years ago the average monthly salaries were $45.68 for males and $33.64 for females. During the '90s, when times were good, salaries in creased and those of male teachers reached the highest point just before the panic of 1893. Tbe average salary paid to men in the public schools was then $51.11. The salaries of female teachers touched the highest point in 1891, when the reports showed an average of 42.43. The compensation of instruc tors in the public schools then started on a decline and so continued until 1897, when men were receiving an average of $41.75 and women $33.97. For the last nine years salaries have been Bteadily advancing and have now reached an average of $t0.02 for men and $44.95 for women. Multnomah county pays the highest salaries, but of the outaide counties Lake pays the highest to men and Har ney the highest to women. OREGON RANGE FREE. Grazing Tax Law is Declared To Be Unconstitutional. Salem The Oregon Supreme court has declared the grazing tax law of 1905 unconstitutional. The decision will have no very far reaching effect, for it has not been generally enforced or ob served. A test case was orougnt up from Umatilla county, with the result that there is one more ray of light cast upon the problems of tax legislation in Oregon. The decision will likely be o advantage in some respects to the legis lature of 1907, which will give particu lar attention to the enactment of tax lawB. Briefly stated, the 1905 statute was declared void because it is a revenue tax law and not a license law. It possessed the language and elements of a tax law and not of a license law The act provided that a tax of 20 cents a head shall be paid upon all sheep owned by non-residents and brought into this state for pasturage. Schools Show Good Advance. balem Material advancement is shown in the conditions of the schools of the state by the figures contained in the summary of Superintendent Acker man's annual report, which he has just given out lor publication, xsy this statement it is shown that the school population has increased by at least 5,000 during the past year, and the total days' attendance has been in creased to at least a million. Not withstanding this latter increase, how ever, tbe average daily attendance has fallen off by over 100 dayB, but the av erage months school taught during the year has advanced from 6.05 to 6.19. FARMERS ARE INDEPENDENT. Can Hold Their Wheat Until the Price Suits Them. Salem That the farmers of the Wil lamette valley are less under the con trol of warehousemen and millers than ever before is asserted by W. A. Tay lor, a prominent Waldo Hills farmer, who has taken the lead in the task of breaking the hold of the buyers of wheat. "Farmers are this year buying their sacks to a greater extent than ever be fore," he Bays, "and they are under no obligations to any buyer. They are entirely free to sell when they can get the highest price. Then many farmers are planning to store their grain on their farms until they get ready to Bell, instead of hauling to a warehouse im mediately. They will make a sale first and haul the grain afterwards, and get better terms. "I have noticed," continued Mr. Taylor, "that millers and warehouse men are pretty anxious to get posses sion of wheat and have been offering inducements to get farmers to store gram in their warehouses. JNotwth standing the declaration that no more sacks would be lent, sacks have been offered in the hope that thereby tbe in tending buyer would secure as advant age. ;ot many ol the farmers are tying themselves up, however."

Files on Big Power Site. Eugene S. W. Curtis, of San Fran cisco, eaid to represent the Pittsburg Reduction company, of Niagara Falls, an aluminum manufacturing concern, has filed notices of location of a power site on Horse creek, a tributary of the Mckenzie river, in the vicinity of fcoley springs, 60 miles east of Eugene. He files on 20,000 miners inches un der a six-inch pressure, and it is esti mated that 30,000 horse power can be generated. Mr. Curtis declines to make any statement regarding the in tentions of his employers, but it is presumed that they may, some time in the future, estalish a manufacturing plant in Eugene or vicinity. Hood River Prepares for Fair. Hood River Hon". E. L- Smith, president, and G. J. Geseling, sec re tary, o' the Hood River Biennial Fruit fair, have issued a call for a mass meet ing of the residents of the town and valley for the purpose of making ar rangements forthis event, important to fruit growers. The meeting will take place Setpember 1 in the Commercial club rooms, when plats will also be perfected for entertaining the Oregon State Irrigation association. Lack of Cars Closes Plant. Eugene The Royce & Peterson ex celsior p'ant has closed down here on account of the failure of the Southern Pacific to furnish cars. All warehouse space has been exhausted, and there was no recourse but to stop manufac turing. The company's plant at Junc tion City can run about two weeks lon ger, and then it will have to shut down if cars are not available. Sheridan in Perilous Plight on Coast of Hawaiian Islands. Honolulu, Sept. 3. Hanging on a rock amidships, the United States transport Sheridan is ashore on Bar ber's point, the southwestern extremity of the i)and of Oahu, on which stands Honolulu. Her position is alarming as she rests on a sharp coral reef with wild surf dashing on the shore and ren dering it well nigh impossible to land a boat, as there is no beach. The Sheridan struck at 4 a. m., and promptly blew her whistles, but did not get into communication with the shore antil the wireless telegrap'j sta tion at Barber's point was opened in tbe morning. She lies broadside to the shore, and is rolling noticeably. All morning boats were vainly trying to find a landing place, but at last the second officer got ashore and saved his boat's crew, thtuh the boat itself was swamped in the breakers, He denies a report that the machinery broke down before the steamer grounded. Natives reached the vessel through the surf in canoes. The Sheridan has aboard 125 through passengers and 50 soldiers, and their transfer to the shore or to other craft is a serious problem. Captain Peabody has signalled the steamer Claudine to take them to Honolulu. If possile, the transfer will be made at once, the reve nue cutter Manning assisting. Captain Peabody says that, if power is applied soon, he believes the Sberi dan can be saved, but otherwise there is little hope. The swell is very heavy and the coral reefs nre very sharp Good order is maintained on board the vessel. The Sheridan's engines are he ing repaired and coal is being rapidly thrown overboard with a view to try ing to float her at high tide. The tug Fearless and several inter-island steam ers have gone to her assistance. Captain Peabody is reported to have assumed all the responsibility for the accident, Baying that the vessel was in too close. CONTRACTS FOR NEW ROAD. St. Paul PORTLAND MARKETS.

City Water for Ashland Normal. Ashland The Ashland public schools will open for the fall term Monday, September 3.

More Power is Needed. La Grande Owing to the increase in demand for electric power, the elec tric company has been unable to get along with the energy developed at tbe Cone power house and it was found necessary this week to use'eome of the power from Morgan lake.

Mikado Will Subsidize Steamers for Manchurian Trade. Victoria, Sept. 3. The steamer Tar tar, of the Canadian Pacific railway company, which arrived today from the Orient, brought news that the Japan ese government proposes to subsidize a steamship line to connect Dalny with the North Pacific coast of the United States, and also Shanghai, Dalny and Vladivostok lines of steamers in its general scheme to develop Manchurian tiade Whether tbe United States con nection will be done by a line between Dalny and Yokohama connecting with the already established Japanese lines to Seattle and San Francisco, or a di rect line ia not definitely stated. San Francisco, Sept. 1. Two months ago it was stated that labor in 8a Fran cisco had reached the highest known record for wages. Since then labor has. eclipsed its own record. Not only baa labor advanced, but houee rents an 1 food have gone up with iapid strideB during the last two months. Today another modest little restau rant crossed out its printed prices and inked in advances on the margin. For a small slice of roast beef which was formerly procured for 25 cents, 30 cents must now be paid. It is a little cafe where the patrons sit up to a counter bare of cloth. It is patronized mostly by the workingmen in the burned dis trict and the newspaper employes, and its prices are as low as they can be placed. The proprietor for some reason or other felt called upon to explain. The increase, by the way, ia about 20 per cent. 'It is this way," apologized the host. "I pay half again as much for things aa I did befoie the fire. To be gin with, I get five loaves of bread less than formerly for $1. The bakeis struck, and to meet the increase in wtges the price of bread had to be raised. Then the price of meat went up again this week. the delivery men trot an increase to something like $78 a month, so the butchers have boosted the price. "Fruit and butter are way up, and net the other day the waiters threat ened to strike and we had to raise them. They used to get $14 a week, now they get $16 50. So what could I do? I had to raise my prices or go out of business." He told the truth, but only part of the truth. Wages in nearly every line have advanced since the fire. Some bricklayers are now receiving $10 a day. In many cases hod carriers re ceive $6, marble cutters $7, electricians $5 50, plumbers $7, plasterers $10, tructural iron workers $6, tile setters $7.50, cement workers $6, steamfitters and sheet metal workers the eame, painters $5 and foremen on general jobs $10. The figures quoted rt present the highest wages paid in the trades men tioned at the present time. The aver age would be slightly less. The union scale counts for very little at present. All contractors are forced to exceed it in order to get men. They are bidding against each other, and the end does not Beem to have been reached. Strike has followed strike, and now, with in creased wages in almost every line of industry, nobody is any better off than before. DEFECTS IN BIG WARSHIPS. Palma and Capote Quarrel. Havana, Sept. 3. Rumor is busy with suggestions of conspiracy among the police and an open quarrel between President Palma and Vice Presiden Mendez Capote. Both reports lack definite confirmation. In certain quar ters Capote ia suspected of bargaining with the insurgents.

Coast Railroad Buildirg. San Francisco, Sept. 3. The South ern Pacific is fast completing its plans for the connection of Eureka and San Francisco and the extension of the road on to Portland, forming a roast line. The basis of the plan is tha California Northwestern, which is under the con trol of the Southern Pacific. It has juet been announced that the junction of the Southern Pacific and the Cali fornia Northwestern lines will be effect ed at Santa Rosa. Famine Spreading. St. retrshurg, Sept. 3.

Tie Zemstvo treas- tries are exhausted, and the whole oat of feedirg the people devolves upon he ctntral government. The grain required in the four provinces for food nd powlng will cos approximately $21,500,000. Wrecked Montague and Great Dread- naught Poorly Riveted. London, Sept. 1. Statements have been circulated about defective work manship on English battleships. It W88 asserted that in salvaging the Montague, which went on the rocks off Lundy island in June last, grave de fects in her riveting were discovered, but these statements were immediately denied from authoritative quarters. The Daily Mail's correspondent at Portsmouth makes a similar statement about the new monster battleship Dreadnaught, alleging that in the hur ry to get the vessel completed her plates were badly fixed. Soon after the vessel was launched, the corres pondent says, some holes were found without rivets, and the men responsi ble were dismissed. Some leakage also was found and she is now in drydock. Indians on Warpath. Vancouver, B.' C, Sept. 1. The Babine River Indians, whose haunts are near the headwaters of the Skeena river, have revolted, and the rising is of such a serious nature as to have com pelled a call for the militia. The oper atives on the Skeena river are declared to be utterly unable to cope with the situation and unless a force of military is rushed north with dispatch there is grave danger that murder may be done. It is declared that a force of not less than a hundred men is absolutely ne cessary. Statistics of Terrorism. St. Petersburg, Sept. 1.
