Demand Election of Popular Mem
bars on Bouligan Commission.
Moscow, May 8. The most ambitious
and thorough project of the new govern'
mental organization contemplated by
tho rescript ot Match 3, namely, a pop
ular assembly, is being discussed by
too second Kemstvo convention, which
opuned hero today. The tlrst day was
devoted to explanations and famtliariz
Ing members with the various details
ot the program, making clear points in
doubt. The project was exceedingly
well received by tho delegates and
probably will be adopted in its mam
lines by the congress.
It is noticeable that the program
confines itself entively to the proposed
representative assembly, not mention
ing the executive, the intention being
to avoid any attempt at definition or
imitation or the powers of the em
percr.
Before beginning the discussion ot
the project, the members adopted
resolution favoring participation by the
people in the work of the Bouligan
commission, only it the popular repre
sentatives aro elected, and not selected,
and are given an equal voice with the
government representatives. It was
also resolved that the deliberations of
the commission should be subject to
the broadest publicity and that, as a
necessary preliminary to any satisfac
tory result, the abolition ol martial
law and the establishment of the right
of assembly and free expression of
thought by word and press should bo
declared.
STORM IN INDIAN TERRITORY
Fierce Wind and Rain Demolishes
Buildlngt and Ruins Crops.
Muscogee, I. T., May 8. Several
persons are reported killed, many in'
jured and much damage wrought to
property as a result of - the fierce wind
and rain storm in various parts of In
dian Territory. Wires are down and
names and details are lacking. At
Owl, 25 miles southwest of South Mc
Alester, eight persons are said to have
been killed and a dozen Injured. At
that place nearly every building is re
ported wrecked. Among the buildings
demolished was tho town school. Pro
fessor Blnson, a teacher, is reported
fatally hurt, and many pupils are said
to have been injured. It is believed
none of them will die. Among the
buildings wrecked were a church,
which was totally demolished; three
business bouses and 20 residences.
A special from Welch, I. T says
that, a terrific storm swept over that,
part of the territory, and that several
persons were injured, some of them
seriouslv.
In the central and northern part of
muian Territory, tne worst rain storm
In years was experienced, Crops were
ruined and many homes In tho low
lying country were flooded.
Wants Fleet Driven Out.
Toklo, May 8 Popular attention is
now centered in the presence of tho
second Uussian squadron In I-rench
nters. While tho assurances ot Franco
relating to the Kamranh bay incident
as generally accepted, tho later discov
ery that the Russian ships continued
their stay at Kamranh bay, and then

Oyama Ready for Russians.
Fenshushhlen, Manchuria, May 8.
Field Marshal Oyama seems ready
to assume the offensive on a large scale
and activity already has begun on
General Linievitch's left. This may
be the prelude to another general bat
tle. The Japanese, have concentrated
heavy columns on the Liao river, and
their advance divisions have been in

BUILD CANAL SOON
Plan for Dnllcs-Cclllo Waterway
Approved,
i START WORK ON UPPER LOCK
Approval of Title to Right of Way by
Attorney General Now Oniy
Preliminary Necessary.
Washington, May 0, Construction
ot Tho Dalles-Cellto canal will probub
ly commence in June. General Mac
kentlo, chief ot army engineers, today
approved Major Langtllt's plan tor
starting work on tho upper end. He
also submitted to tho attorney general
tho title to tho right ot way which tli
stato ot Oregon has presented to tho
government. Thenbstractot title lim
ing been previously examined and ap
proved, it is presumed tho title will be
found satisfactory and accepted. Tho
law autthoriilng construction of the
canal stipulates that no work shall be
done until tltlo to the right ot way and
a release from damage has been convey
ed to the Untied States free of cost.
If the attorney general acta promptly
and accepts title, instructions will be
sent to Major Langfitt to advertise tor
bids tor the work which, ho outlines 1
his project. In general terms Major
Langfitt 's plan conforms to the general
plan laid down by the board which
drew up tho canal project. He, how
ever, found it necessary to make an Im
portant change. Tho original plan lo
cated the first lock at the upper en.
trance. When soundings were made
it was found that It would be Imposti
ble to get a rock foundation for a heavy
lock at that point, so the lock has been
located 1,000 feet down the canal, and
the entrance will be guarded by Hood
gates not contemplated in tho original
plans. Theso gates will be used in
time ot high water to keep the sediment
brought down by the river from enter
ing and obstructing tho canal.
Until bids aro received it Is not
known just how much progress can be
made with tha funds available. There
is now on hand $168,170 remaining
from the old boat railway appropria
tlon, and the last session ot congress
appropriated $50,000 cash and author
ized contracts for $260,000 additional
making a total of $468,170 with which
to begin work. Major Langfltt'a plan
contempts ea the expenditure of only
about $375,000 of this amount, he
deeming it expedient to have some re
serve until a farther appropriation is
made.
TWINE TRUST DECLARES WAR.
Attempts to Take Away Trade of the
Coast Manufacturers.
San Francisco, May 0. The Call to
morrow will say:
A great fight is on for the market for
binding twine on tho Pacific coast. On
one side are arrayed the Portland Cord
age company and the Tubbs Cordago
company, of this city, home manufac
turers of cordage and twine. On tho
other side are the International Har
vester company and its leading agon-
ciea on the Pacific coast, the trouble all
coming from an attempt, as reported,
on the part of the International liar
vester company to take away tho trade
completely from the Tubbs Cordage
company and the Portland Cordage
company.
Deprived ot the agencies of the In
ternational Harvester company to mar
ket their goods, the program of the
coast manufacturers is to market on
their own account, througli retailers,
through agents of their own employ
and in any other feasible way.
Violent Strike of Collarmakers.
Troy, N. Y., May 0. A crowd which
at times numbered 4,000 or 6,000 per

MAY WATER DESCHUTES LAND
Government Ready to Take Up Pro
Ject If Oarey Irrigation Falls
Washington, May' 6, Intorimtttdil)
which reaches Washington Indlriilto
that thu reclamation service may vat
have an opportunity to Irrigate In tho
Deschutes valley In Eastern Oregon
At the time tho national Irrigation law
was passed tho reclamation service was
anxious to build nu irrigation servic
along tho DctH-hutes, but found that
private enterprise had entered tho lie'
and was already operating or preparing
to operato under tho Carey act. Had
It not been for this fact, tha govern
ment would today bo completing an Ir
ligation system that would Irrlgato far
mom land In tho Deschutes than will
over bo reclaimed by private enter
prise, and would probably hnvo been
able to turn the water into tho canals
not later than tho coming fall or win
ter.
If private capital should decide.
withdraw from tho Deschutes valloy.
tho government would bo very glad to
cntor that field, buy up what works
have already been constructed, and
enter upon the irrigation ot a much
larger area than is now Internded to bo
reclaimed. But the government la not
going to make any advances. Nor will
it pay fancy prices for such works
have been constructed by private capl
tal.
Tho situation in the Deschutes coun
try Is not altogether similar to that in
Klamath basin. In tho Deschutes, so
far as known, the community is satli
fled to have its lands irrigated by pri
vate capital, notwithstanding private
capital will reclaim only the cream
and leave forever barren a large tract
that would be Irrigated by the govern
ment. In the Klamath basin public
sentiment is a unit In favor of govern
ment as against private Irrigation,
Tills much is to be said: If nrivato
capital goes ahead and completes Its Ir
rigation system according to present
plans, the government will never go in
and reclaim the outstanding lands
Private Interests are promising to Irrl
gate only lands which can be watered
at a minimum cost; the government
will not follow and undertake to irri
gate adjoining lands where tho cost will
be excessive unices it ran have the en
tire field to Itself. One ot tho Prime
objects of government Irrigation la to
reclaim lands In largo arras, comblnlnr-
cheap with expensive work, to as to
make, the average cost within the reach
of the settler. Tho government It not
taking up extiemely expensive works;
It cannot afford to; It Is only Irrigating
where it knowt It can recover the ex
penditure.
TRIPLE ALLIANCE FOR PEACE
French See France, United States and
Britain Thus Combined.
Paris, May 4. The Temps In a lead
lug article today discusses Ambassador
McCormlck's remarks to President
Loubet yesterday on the presentation
the former's credentials as being
timely reassurances of tho strong rehv
Hons uniting the two countries. The
paper says:
"The ambassador referred to the
rancoAmerican alliance as being
stronger than If Inscribed in treaties,
and then by an initiative which It
worthy of emphasis he expressed satis-
action wiin uio Aiigio-rrcncli rap
prochement. It is not habitual for
third powers to be mentioned in cere
monies of this kind, and this makes
the ambassador's allusion to Anglo
French friendship more significant."
The Temps adds that the friendship
thus indicated between France and, the
United States and France and Great
Britain, is susceptible of developing
into a triple understanding for the ben
efit of the participants and tho peaco
oi uio world.
Tho Journal des Debats also devotes
leading article to Minister McCor-
mack's speech.
