PLOT IS REVEALED.
Anarchist Conspiracy in Rio Janeiro
to Blow Up Fleet.
Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 21. The Bra
zilian police have discovered an anar
chistic plot here having as its object
the destruction of part of the American
fleet now lying in the harbor. The con
spiracy, while centering in Rio Janeiro
and Petropolis, has ramifications in
Sao Paulo and Minas Geraes.
An individual named Jean Fedher,
who resided in Petropolis, was the
chief conspirator here, although it is
understood that foreign anarchists are
deeply involved in the plot. Fedher is
believed to have fled to Sao Paulo and
the police, who know him, have been
sent to that place fcr the purpose of
apprehending him. One of the detec
tives who was well acquainted with
Fedher, having served on the police
force at Petropolis for some time, re
turned from that place today. After
having made investigation there and
had a long conference with the chief of
police at Rio Janeiro, the latter gave it
to be understood later that tne Sao
Paulo police are on the track of the
arch-conspirator and expect to arrest
him soon.
MAKE GOOD PROGRESS.
But Philippine Delegates Say It Is Too
Soon for Home Rule.
San Francisco, Jan. 21. Speaking of
conditions in the Philippines, Benito
Legarda, delegate to congress, who,
with his colleague, Pablo Ocampa, has
arrived here en route to Washington,
said today that his people had made
great progress under American rule,
and especially along educational lines,
and added : '
"It is useless to talk of Independence
now. I want independence, of course,
but how can we have it? That is the
question. I do not care to risk the
property I own in another civil war or
to anarchy that might follow an at
tempt on the part of my countrymen
to govern themselves at present."
It is asserted that his fellow delegate
would work in harmony while in the
house of representatives, his only aim
being to improve the economic condi
tions of the islands, worse now than it
has been for 30 years. Both delegates
want to secure, if possible, the reduc
tion of the United ' States duties on
Philippine sugar and tobacco. Both
are greatly interested in the Japanese
question.
Legarda is a member of the Progres
sive party, while Ocampo is affiliated
with the National party.
KEEPING RESULTS SECRET.
Part of Lemieux' Party Returns From
Japan.
San Francisco, Jan. 21. Hon. Jos
eph Pope, Canadian secretary of state,
and Madame B. Lemieux, wife of the
Canadian postmaster general, returned
on the ship Mongolia from Japan,
where Lemieux went to straighten out
the difficulties between the two coun
tries, which arose over the question of
Japanese immigration to Canada, and
the consequent riots at Vancouver and
in other Canadian cities. Lemieux re
turned on a preceding steamer.
The secretary of state, and the post
master general were sent to Japan sev
eral months ago with instructions to
reach some agreement with the Japan
ese government, whereby the immigra
tion of coolies to Canada would be re
stricted. What succees attended the
mission is very carefully guarded by
Pope. Madame Lemieux had not been
made a confidante by the government
officials. The party will leave here to
day for Ottawa.
Waters of Lake Are Blessed.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 21. The annual
ceremony of bleseings the waters, dur
ing which, in 1905, the emperor nar
rowly escaped assassination by means

the Neva. The imperial blessing was
bestowed on the waters of the lake in
the palace park amid the salute of guns.

panied by his mother, reviewed the
guard regiments. The empress did not
take part in the celebration, as illness
Etill confines her indoors.

yesterday before Judge Lawlor is the
one in which indictments were brought

the change in the attitude of the prose
cutors toward him and their decision
not to give him immunity.
Would Impeach Governor.
Vancouver, B. C, Jan. 21. While
the legislators are gathered at Victoria
talking of taking the scalp of Lieuten
ant Governor Dunsmuir on the Japan
ese question, some of the astute politi
cians of the country are endeavoring to
figure out by just what method it is
proposed to carry out the impeachment.
Particular difficulty is being met
with in finding in Canadian history a
prceedent for the official beheading of
the governor.

ager ot the facinc telephone A Tele
graph company, who was recently con
victed of bribery and sentenced to five

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
GRAFT OLD TREES.
Diseased Orchards In Valley Are to
Be Laid Low.
Corvallia A movement is being
launched here for a great campaign for
the renovation of old orchards in the
Willamette valley and other parts of
Oregon. President Newell, of the state
board of horticulture, Mr. Lownsdale,
Mr. Reid. and a large number of the!wnd tJiat 81 one meeting me time ib
fmifc insnAntnrn of r,h vnrinns mini Hps
are on the ground and are identified
with the plan. The first gurr in the
campaign was fired by M. O. Lownsdale
in an address before the visiting horti
culturists and other winter short course
students in college chapel. The ad
dress met with a hearty indorsement,
and aroused much enthusiasm.
The
Agricultural college authorities will
join in the plan, and in an educaitonal
way and otherwise co-operate to the ut
most extent in furthering the move
ment. It is said that within three to five
years a complete new orchard can be
made out of the old one, and a profit of
$5 to $10 per tree be realized. This
was the assertion of Mr. Lownsdale in
his address. He says he has accom
plished this result with old trees on his
farm, and that it can be done by any
farmer who can do grafting or have it
done.
The thing to do, says Mr. Lownsdale,
is to out down the old trees. The best
plan is to cut them close to the ground,
leaving the roots intact. This should
be done by the 1st of March. The next
season, from the 10th to the 15th of
May, such varieties as are best for the
climate and for commercial purposes
should be grafted on the three or four
best sprouts. This is the easiest and
most certain plan. Two feet of the old
trunk may be left and the graft applied
to it the first year, and a year of time
in reproducing the orchard is gained,
but this requires an expert at grafting
in order to be successful. By either
plan the trees will be in good bearing
in from three to five years, and a reve
nue of $5 to $10 each be realized.
Shingle Mill for Albany.
Albany A shingle mill, with a ca
pacity of 60,000 shingles daily, will be
established in Albany this winter by
E. A. Thompson and Elmer Cramer,
former employes of the Curtiss Lumber
company in its big plant at Mill City.
Work will begin on the new mill as
soon as a satisfactory location is found.
The two men have secured the shingle
manufacturing machinery of the Mill
City mills, and have also acquired the
ownership of a large body of spruce
timber, and propose to make the n
dustry a large one.
Glass Factory for Eugene.
Eugene Eugene bids fair to have a
glass factory in the near future. Gus
tavo Mathisen, an expert glass blower,
who was one of the promoters of the
factory at Coburg, in this county, offers
nnt nn nlnt. ot.inff J50.000 if the
citizens of this city take stock in a com
x r I " '
pany to be organized to the amount of
$5,000. Mathisen claims to he backed
by ample capital,
once be taken up
Tim muMcr will at,
by the Commercial
club and it is probable that some action
will be taken immediately.
Lebonon Mills Reopen
Ablany After being closed for three
weeks, the Lebanon paper mill has re
sumed work and 50 men temporarily
idle are again in employment. The re
cent flood piled bo many logs in the
Santiam canal that the mill could not
get a supply of fuel wood for the regu
lar consumption of 30 cords daily.
Though this was the cause of the shut
down, some feared it might be due to
the financial stringency, but
prompt resumption of work has re
stored confidence.
Large Timber Land Sale.
Oregon City The transfer of 1,850
acres of timbered lands on the Upper
Molalla river in Clackamas county has
just been made public, through a deed
filed in the office of County Recorder
Ramsby. The price stated in the deed
is $81,000 or about $44 per acre. The
purchaser is the Molalla Lumber com
pany, a West Virginia corporation,
which purchased the property from the
Corn well Lumber company, of Saginaw,
Mich.
Corporations Are Dissolved.
Salem Governor Chamberlain has
issued a proclamation dissolving 300
corporations which have failed to pay
their license taxes for 1907. In the
list are many concerns which in all
probability will wish to continue busi
ness and which have neglected to pay
the license fee. These concerns can se
cure restoration of their corporate pow
ers by paying up delinquencies within
30 days. The complete list will be
published in a few days.
Change in Blue Mountain Reserve.
Washington The preeident has just
signed a proclamation which elimi
nates 131,643 acres of the Blue Moun
tain forest reserve, as recommended by
the forest service. The greater part of
the area eliminated consists of open
grass lands. The boundary has also
been changed to exclude some heavily
timbered land, title to which has passed
from the government.
Mines to Resume in Spring.
Baker City The annual meeting o-
the Highland Gold Mines company con
sumed a two-days' session. It was def
cided to resume work in the mines in
the spring, money having been pledged
by the Eastern and Southern interests.
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
TALK SPRAY AND PRUNING.
Marion County Fruitmen Plan More
Frequent Meetings.
Salem The Marion County Horti
cultural society has decided to hold
either weekly or bi-weekly meetings
A. I. mama aw r9 Ua ntinfna fViA
, gpeciai purpose of spreading informa-
tion concerning the proper pruning and
spraying of fruit trees. It has been
SO short that all the Subjects in which
fruitgrowers
are interested cannot De
satisfactorily discussed, and that as a
result the growers get partial informa
tion, which is of little practical use to
them. At the weekly or bi-weekly
meetings, epecial subjects will be taken
up, varying according to the particular
'portion of their work the growers are
about to perfoim. Ihus the subject ol
pruning will be one of the first consul
ered for the reason that the pruning
season is now on. After that spraying
will be the subject of lectures and
demonstrations. Use of fertilizers,
methods and time of cultivation, thin
ning fruit, etc., will be taken up as
occasion seems to demand.
Filing on Harney Lands.
Burns The business of the United
States land office in this city for the
quarter ending December 31, 1907,
makes an excellent showing for this
country, the total entries and proofs
for the Deriod covering 51,200.69 acres
and the payments, fees and commis
sions amounting to $56,944.64. The
month of December brought in $29,000
of this sum. When it ia considered
that the financial pan c held business
in suspense a good part of the quarter,
it will be Been that the movement for
settlement of Harney county and con
tiguoua country is a determined one
and cannot be stopped.
Welcome to New Industry.
Oregon City Nothing in recent years
has brought so much satisfatcion to the
people of Oregon City as the announce
ment that a new paper mill is to be
constructed at Oregon City on the East
side of Wilammette Falls, fronting the
basin, with the installation of two ma
chines of the largest capacity at the
outset. Not lees than 300 men will be
furnished employment, and this means
that from 400 to 600 people will be
added to the population of Oregon City
within a year, and that there will be
corresponding increase in the industry
and business of the town.
Road Will Go Under the Hammer
Albany The real property of the
Corvallis & Lastern Kail road company
eituated in Linn county is to be sold
for delinouent taxes. A majority of

erty advertised includes the roadbed

The Dalles Renewed interest in the
Carnegie library to De hum here has
come since the forwarding of the archi
tec is pian to anorew uarnegie b enure
tary for approval. The edifice will be
erected in the city park and will cost
$10,000. The city council has voted to
meet the maintenance expenses and
appropriate $1,000 annually. In fact
this was necessary to meet the condi
tions as presented by the steel magnate
and library builder.

RUEF FORFEITS IMMUNITY.
District Attorney Langdon Says
No-
gotiations Are Over.
San Francisco, Jan. 20. It was an
nounced late Saturday night that the
graft proseoution has determined to dis
continue all negotiations with Abraham
Ruef, the central figure in the graft
cases, in the matter of granting bim
immunity. It was further stated that
today the prosecution would demand
that Ruef be put on trial before Judge
Dunne on one of the many charges of
bribery for which he baa been indicted.
This determination of the prosecution
came at the end of several days' fruit
lesa negotiations with Ruef. It is said
that some time ago the prosecution
promised Ruef partial immunity in
consideration of his taking the witness
stand and truthfully testifying in full
to all his transactions with public sety
ice corporation officials to be tried on
the charge of bribery.
When the District Court of Appeals
rendered its decision declaring void the
indictmenta for extortion against ex
Mayor Schmitz, to which Ruef had al
ready pleaded guilty, it is charged that
Ruef, realizing that the decision placed
him in an advantageous position, de
manded full immunity. This the pros
ecution would not consent to grant, and
there followed a series of conferences in
which Ruef endeavored to secure better
terms.
RUSSIAN FOLLOWS FLEET.
Naval Officer of the Czar Watching
. Every Movement.
St. Petersburg. Jan. 20. The Im
portance attached by the Russian ad
miralty to the lessons to be learned
from the vaoyage of the American bat
tleship fleet under Rear Admiral Evans
is shown by the fact that the naval
officer, Commander Alexia Diatchkoff,
is following the fleet around the Horn,
traveling from port to port by any
means he can obtain. He adopted this
course only after hie repeated requests
for Dermission to join the ships had
been refused.
It is reported here that Diatchkoff
succeeded in getting on board one of
the American warships at 'Rio Janeiro,
and the entire incident of this officer's
activities had been a source of some
friction between the Russian foreign
minister' here and the admiralty. When
Baron Rosen, the Ruesian ambassador
to the United States, was instructed to
ask for a permit for Diatchkoff to join
Admiral Evans, he declined on the
grounds that he knew his request would
be unfavorably received at Washington.
Thereupon the Russian admiraltv,
after further correspondence with the
Foreign office, instructed Diatchkoff to
apply personally to Secretary Metcalf.
This the officer did, but in vain. He
was therefore ordered to follow the
fleet as closely as he could, making use
of private steamers.
PROGRESS IS SLOW.
Hall-Mays Trial at Portland May Take
Weeks to End.
Portland, Jan. 20. Neither Prose
cutor Ileney nor the lawyers for the de
fendants will hazard a prediction as to
the time that will web required to con
elude the Hall-Mays conspiracy trial.
One week already has been consumed
and the government has scarcely made
a beginning, only one of its many im
portant witnesses having been examin
ed. More than 70 witnesses for the
government are in the city, summoned
to testify against one or more of the 12
defendants named in the indictment,
but since the prosecution has decided
to try only Hall and Mays at this time,
Mr. Heney says he may not call all of
the government's witnesses.
In this way the trial may be shorten
ed somewhat, but if all of the witnesses
take the stand, the case will drag along
for weeks. There is little doubt that
between two and three weeks more at
the least will be required to complete
the introduction of testimony and sub
mit the case to the jury. Thus far the
testimony has not been damaging to
Hail or Maya.
Harvester Trust is Fined.
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 20. Judge Dana,
in the Shawnee County District court
here today, assessed a fine of $12,600
against the International Harvester
company, which the court found guilty
on 43 counts of violating the Kansas
anti-trust law. The maximum fine ia
$1,000 a count, and the minimum $100.
The criminal suit was filed a year ago
by Attorney General Coleman, who
contended that the harvester company
was being operated in Kansas in viola
tion of the anti-trust laws. An appeal
will be taken.
Fatal Wreck on Seaboard Line.
Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 20. As the re
sult of a head-on collision at Cameron,
55 miles south of Raleigh, between a
Seaboard Air Line freight and a north
bound fast passenger train, early today,
two men were killed and 20 injured,
none seriously. Engineer E. II.
Vaughan and a negro fireman, both of
the passenger train, were killed. The
collision is attributed to trouble with
the air brakes on the freight train and
to complicated train orders.
Judge Receives Explosive.
Cleveland, Jan. 20. Judge George S.
Addam, of the Juvenile court, today i
received in his mail a stick of what ap
pears to dynamite or solidified nitro
glyclerine, six inches in length. There
was no mechanism to detonate the ex
plosive. Judge Addam opened the tube
in the'eourt room, without having an
idea of its contents.
LAYS FOUNDATION
FOR PROSECUTION
Heney Is Moving With Much Caution
In Hall Trial.
Defense Fights Each Step-Few Wit
nesses Examined and Session Is
Largely Given Up to the Reading;
of Letters Said to Show That a
Conspiracy Existed.
Portland, Jan. 18. The government
yesterday continued laying the founda
tion of the case against John II. Hall
and Edwin Maya.
Heney introduced some 50 letters,,
written from June, 1900, to Septem
ber, 1902., by Hall, Mays, Loomia,
Stratford and Putnam. More such Ut
ters will follow today.
Hall objected seriously to only one
letter, written by Secretary Hitchcock
to Special Inspector A. R. Greene, di
recting Greene to investigate the
fences. Heney' purpose is to show
that this investigation waa prompted
by settlers, who had appealed vainly to
Hall to act against the fences. Hall
objects to the letter because a copy and
not the original letter has been offered
and because it ib irrelevant. Judge
Hunt will decide the questions this
morning.
Unlike Hall, Mays raiBed numerous,
objections In the course of the day.
The steps In the government's evi
dence of conspiracy will be about as
follows:
First; To prove Hall and Mays had
frequent knowledge from protesting set
tlers of the fences as eaily as March,
1900.
Second That Steiwer, Zachary and
Hendricks caused various persons to file
on land for their company, in order to
complete the company's enclosure .cf
public land.
Third That Hall and Mays took no
Bteps to prosecute the offenders, though
they had full knowledge of the fencing
and the conspiracy for more than three
years.
At this slage, Steiwer is expected to
testify about the alleged understanding
by which Hall and Mays were not to
prosecute him and his associate!. One
of the terms of this alleged agreement
was Setiwer's vote for Fulton.
George Brownell is expected to testify
that Hall promised him immunity frora.

TENANTS IN RIOTS.
Object to Paying More Then Rate
They Fix There.- es
New York, Jan. 18. Forcible resist
ance by tenants whom an Upper East ,
Side landlord was trying to evict result
ed yesterday in the gathering of a crowdi
of two thousand or more sympathiser
in the neighborhood, who made so
much trouble for the police that the
precinct reserves were called out. Dur
ing the rioting four women and a num
ber of men were taken into custody.
The riotous demonstration hegani
when a city marshal and about 25 as
sistants visited the block on the Fontlk
side of East One Hundred and Fourth
street, between First and Second ave
nues, with 80 dispossess warrants for
families who had unitedly demanded
reductions in rents of a dollar a month
and had refused to pay the landlord's
collector more than the new rate they
had fixed. The taking out of the furn
iture from the rooms of the first family
visited was the signal for an attack on.
the marshal and his men by fcores of.
tenants.
Angry women surrounded a patrol
man who had gone to the marshal's as
sistance and had half torn his coat from
his back when assistance arrived. He
arrested four women. Several demon
strative men were also sent to the sta
tion house. The police were by this
time struggling witk little success to
disperse an increasing crowd of angry
demonstrators, but other arrests by the
officers finally had the effect of putting
a stop to the trouble.
The immediate purpose of the dem
onstration was effected, the marshal'
deciding not to attempt the serving of
more dispossess warrants at the time.
Hayti is in Revolution.
Port Au Prince, Hayti, Jan. 18.
The first actual operation of a revolu
tionary movement against the present
government of Hayti took p'ace yester
day, and so far has been successful. An
expedition composed of Haytiens, wl c
have been in exile, under the command
of Jean Juneau, effected a landing not
far from Gonaives, 65 miles northwest
of here, and occupied that town. The
government is taking measures to resist
the movement. The revolutionary
forceB also occupied St. Marc, some 20
miles from Gonaives.
Deny Sulphur Injures Fruit.
San Francisco,' Jan,18. At the state
convention of California fruit growers
today a committee of seven was appoint
ed to go to Washington to protest
against and secure a modification of the
rule covering the use of sulphur in
bleaching and drying fruits. In resolu
