JAPAN CONTROLS KOREA.
Minister Runs Country, and Removal
of Emperor is Proposed.
Paris, May 22. Reports received
here through anthoritive channels rep
resent Janan as carrying thing with a
high hand in Corea. Whether the re
torts are influenced by sentiment it is
impossible to say, but they recite a
number of specific facts supporting the
view that M. llayashi, the Japanese
minister to Corea. no longer otserves
the position of the other ministers at
Seoul. He is said to consider himself
a sort of resident general or viceroy,
thus taking precedence over his diplo
matic colleagues, who are obliged to
await his convenience in dealing with
the court and government. The gen
eral commanding the Japanese trona is
represented as seconding the assump
tion of precedence on the part of the
Japanese minister.
The official reports confirm, reports
from Pekin that the Japanese recently
exerted strong pressure upon the em
peror of Corea to induce- him to leave
the country and go to Japan with the
evident purpose of removing him as an
obstacle to the development of Japan
ese control. The ctnpror is said to
have requested the departure of the
Japanese officials wl o had made this
representation and fc have taken dis-
rreet means to peunt the European
government to learn of the prospects of
his removal. Finally, when this in
formation reached the St. Petersburg
Foreign office, it issued a protest
against Japan's assumption of control
of the affairs of Corea.
FILLS IN GAP.
President Creates New Forest Re
serve in Cascades.
Washington, May 22. The president
will soon sign a proclamation creating
the Yakima forest reserve in Kittitas
and King counties, Washington, "em
bracing nearly 2,t00 square miles of
land. This reserve will include the
summit and slopes of the Cascade
mountains and viitually all the timber
country between the Washington ami
Rainier reserves.
When this proclamation is signed
there w ill be one continuous reserve
following the Cascade mountains from
point a few miles north of the Colum
bia clear to the British Columbia boun
dary. Running through the lakima reserve
is the Northern Pacific land grant, em
bracing alternate sections. These lands
will not be included, so the forest re
serve will be one immense checker
board, although for practical purposes
the entile area of railroad as well as
public lands will be brought under the
care of the government. The Northern
Pacific sections will be worth little to
the railroad when the reserve is creat
ed, and it is possible some plan will be
devised whereby the government can
purchase or otherwise acquire them in
order that the Yakima reserve may be
come a compact body.
FERRY BOAT RUNS AWAY.
Loaded Down With Excursionists It
Smashes Into Wharf.
San Francisco, May 20. The lives of
over 2,000 passengers, most of whom
were women and children on their way
to the annual picnic of St. Dominic's
church, were endangered today by an
accident on the ferry boat Tamalpais.
Running at full speed, the boat, with
engines entirely beyond control, crashed
into the dock, ripping out piles and
woodwork and throwing the frightened
passengers into a wild panic.
A break in the engine room was re
sponsible for the accident. When the
captain gave the engineer the signal to
slow down, 100 yards from the ferry
slip, the levers gave way and the boat
ran at full speed straight into the dock.
Realizing the impossibility of averting
a crash, the officers drove the crowds
back from the forward deck and sound
ed the danger signal to attract the em
ployes on the wharf.
The steamer struck with a terrible
crash, but hawFers were thrown aboard
and, though the engines were still run
ning at full speed, the apron was" low
ered and the frightened crowd rushed
ashore. Several women fainted during
the excitement.
Use Wireless on Coast.
Vallejo, Cal., May 22. It is pro
posed by the Navy department to es
tablish wireless telegraph stations at
Point Loma, Cape Blanco, Cape Flat
tery, North Head, Point Wilson and
Bremerton. The establishment of
these new stations will practically
cover the Pacific coast, and they will
be esjiecially valuable to warships car
rying wireless instruments. I tie
Weather bureau has offered to turn
over to the Navy department some ma
terials and instruments to help fit out
the new stations.
President's Keen Interest in War.
Washington, May 22. Secretary

Schroeder, chief of the bureau of naval

sian and Japanese fleets. Commander

qualities of the two fleets. He ex
plained to the president his figures and
Reductions. The president is interested.

ALL TO BE SHOWN
Congressional Irrigation Commit
tee to Make Tour.
WILL VISIT PORTLAND FAIR, TOO
Distinguished Party Starts June
See Government Irrigation
Work In West.
I to
Washington, May 20. On June 1 a
party of 80, composed of the senate and
house com it tecs on irrigation, with
their wives, will leave Kansas City on
a tour of the West, which will include
visits to most of the irrigation projects
where government work is now under
way, as well as the principal cities of
the West. Not all members of these
committees, but a majority of each,
will make the trip.
As heretofore stated the trip is made
for the purjMse of giving senators and
representative an opportunity to see
what progress the government is mail
ing und'r the National irrigation law,
passed only three years ago. It is con
ceded that the law will eventually need
some revision, but until it has been
tried and its weak points have tccn
found, congress has been loth to make
amendments. The trip this summer
will be an object lesson to the senators
and representatives of the party, and
will enable them to discuss more intel
ligently than before all questions affect
ing national irrigation.
Aside from visiting the various irri
gation projects now under construction,
the congressional party will spend two
days, June 23 and 24, at the Iewis and
Clark exposition and in Portland; will
spend June 25, Sunday, in Tacoma and
Seattle; will put in half a day at IUuse,
a day in San Francisco, another at Salt
Lake City, and wind up at Denver on
the Fourth of July.
On June 17, the third anniversary of
the signing of the National reclamation
act, the party will be at Hazen, Nev.,
at which time the water will be turned
upon 50,000 acres of land under the
Truckee-Carson project, the first large
irrigation project to be put into opera
tion by the government. Leaving Ne
vada, short stops will be made at
Ogden, Salt Lane and numerous points
in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Mon
tana, Wyoming and Colorado.
NO MORE LIEU SELECTIONS.
Hitchcock Holds Law Means What It
Says May Be Amended.
Washington, May 20. Secretary
Hitchcock, in a circular issued today to
registers and receivers of local land
offices, holds that congress meant what
it said when, by the act of March 3,
1903, it absolutely repealed the lieu
land law. With the exception of own
ers of certain lands in the San Francis
co and Grand Canyon reserves in Ari
zona and the Santa Barbara reserve,
California, who are specifically provid
ed for by a special act, the secretary
holds that all right to make lieu selec
tions expiced March 3 last and local
land officers are advised that they are
without authority to accept relinquish
ments of lands within forest reserves
after that date and allow the selection
of other lands in exchange therefor.
The secretary says, however, that all
lieu selections made prior to ar.d pend
ing for adjudication on March 3, 11)05,
may be perfected and patented and, if
in the adjudication of any selection
then pending, the same shoald be held
invalid for any reason not the fault of
the party making the same, another se
lection for a like quantity of land may
be made in lieu thereof.
Togo South of Formosa.
Amoy, China, May 20. It is believ
ed that part of the Japanese fleet is
taking up a position below Formosa,
and that Admiral Togo has planned to
fight the Russians south of Formosa.
The Japanese get orders from this vi
cinity at night time. The state of mar
tial law -first declared at Tamsui, island
of Formosa, and subsequently made
general throughout the island, has been
followed by the appointment of a mili
tary executive, and the moving of the
women and children from the Pescadore
islands to Formosa.
No Russian Ships Intrude.
Tokio, May 20. In reply to the rep
resentations of the Japanese govern
ment, the French government has noti
fied the authorities here that Admiral
de Jonquieres reported that he had
cruised along the coast of Annam, May
13 and 14, for the purpose of ordering
the Russian ships to leave the coast
should he find any in French waters.
The admiral, it is added, did not find
any Russian vessels between Cape St.
James and Turan.
Military Attaches Going to War.
Washington, May 20. Brigadier

merit, and Captain Sidney A. Cloman,

inary to their Joining the Russian armv
I in Manchuria as military attaches.
BOWEN-LOOMIS CASE IS UP.
Cabinet Discusses It and President
Receives Statements.
Washington, May 1W. The principal
subject considered today at the cabinet
meeting was the Looinis-Howen case.
No definite action was taken ptn.'.ing
an additional statement from Mr. Ilow
en. Just prior to the cabinet meeting,
Jose Paul, a representative of Venezu
ela In this country, called at the White
house and had a talk with the presi
dent regarding the case. It Is said that
Mr. Paul is familiar with the transac
tions involving the exchange of a check
by Mr. Loomis with the Asphalt com
pany at the time the former was United
States minister at Caracas.
During the cabinet meeting Mr. How
en called at the White house, and,
through Secretary IHb, sent a note to
Secretary Taft. The note simply indi
cated the presence at the executive
offices of Senor Pastro y Mora, a friend
of Mr. ltowen, w ho the minister desired
should talk with the president ami Mr.
Taft. Soon after Senor Mora had a
conference with the president ami Mr.
Taft, lasting some time. Senor Mora
did not disclose the details of the inter
view, but it is known that, having M
one time bVen connected with the as
phalt company in Caracas, he was en
abled to throw some light on the pres
ent situation. When Mr. Taft left the
White bouse he said that no determ
ination of the case had leen reached,
and none would be until all the facts
from loth sides had leen developed.
He indicated this might take several
days.
Mr. Bowen today filed with Mr. Taft
his statement in reply to Assistant Sec
retary Ioomis' charges and also bearing
on the charges against Mr. loomis
which he transmitted to the offio'als
here. "
SHOULD OBEY ALL LAWS.
Governor Folk Says Law-Breaking
Leads to Anarchy.
St. Iouts, May 111. Governor Folk
of Missouri, addressing the General
Baptist convention tonight, said:
"Missouri has an idea that means
the enforcement of law. taws that are
not enforced add just as much to the
support of good government as sores do
to tlie strength of the human body.
Ijiw breaking has become alarmingly
common. It is one of the greatest
dangers that confront free government.
Many mvn otey the laws they like, but
think they have a political liberty to
disobey the laws that are obnoxious to
them.
"The trust magnate looks w ith ab
horence on the pickpocket who violates
the larceny statute, but considers it
entirely right to break the laws against
combinations and monopolies. The
boodler detests the law breaking of the
trusts, but considers the law against
briliery as an infringement on bis per
sonal liberty. The dramshop keeper
regards the law against murder as good,
but the law against operating his dram
shop on Sunday, is, in his opinion,
Puritanical and typrannical.
"If each citizen were allowed to de
termine for himself which laws are
good and which laws are bad, to ignore
the laws he considered bad, the result
would le anarchy we would have no
laws at all. The only safe rule is that,
if the law is on the statute boons, it
must be observed.
"There has In-en too much of making
laws to please the moral element and
then not enforcing them to please the
immoral element."
GOVERNMEN1 CHIMES HERE
Bells Will Furnish Quaint Music from
High Exposition Tower.
Portland, May 1!. Chimes for the
government tower at the l.ewis and
Clark exposition arrived in the city
yesterday from Cincinnati. They occu
pied two cars which were at once
switched to the peninsula spur for un
loading. Today they will be raised in
to place in the east dome, 2i0 feet
above the earth.
These chimes will furnish quaint
music during the exposition. When
President Roosevelt turns an electric
key at Washington on the first of the
month the effect will be to set these
chimes to tolling out the inspiring
notes of "America." As it is neces
sary to have the chimes in place for
this important ceremony they will be
adjusted immediately.
Railroads Accused of Breaking Law.
Topeka, Kan., May 10. Upon re
quest of the Interstate Commerce com
ission, United States District Attorney
Dean lias filed suits in the Federal
court here charging railroads with vio
lation of Federal statutes. The Mis
souri Pacific is charged in three in
stances with not complying with the
law requiring safety appliances. A
similar suit is brought against the Iron
Mountain lailroad. The St. Louis A
San Francisco railroad is charged with
keeping tattle on the road for more than
24 hours without food or water.
Oscar Will Resume Reins.
Christiana, Norway, May 10. The
Dagblatt expresses the belief that King
Oscar will resume the reins of govern
ment on June 1. This is regarded as a
semi-official intimation, and, if it turns
out to be correct, it means probably
that King Oscar intends to sanction the
Norwegian consular bill, thus assumii g
direct responsibility for an act calculat
ed to irritate his Swedish subjects rath
er than leave the responsibility on the
shoulders of the crown prince regent.
Japan May Buy Argentine Ships.
8t. Petersburg, May 19. The Rusky
Slovo declares that Russia having fail
ed to complete the negotiations for the
purchase of the Argentine warships, an
intermediary has now arrived in Paris
and is negotiating their sale to Japan.
OREGON STATE ITEMS OE INTEREST
LAND FRAUD TO BE SCARCE.
Stringent Rules for Filing Made by
State Land Board.
Salem The new form of appllcaiton
which has been adopted by the State
I .and board for use In applying for the
purchase of state laud has lccn made
public, and it Is found to lie even more
stringent in its requirements than the
tlrsl reports Indicated. In, making ap
plication, the intending purchaser must
give his postoMice address and make
the usual affidavit that he wants the
land for his own use and has made no
agreement express or implied to sell or
dispose of it.
The notary public, in taking the oath
of the applicant, must also certify that
he knows li i tit to be. the person w hose
name is signed. Two witnesses iiiuhI
sign the application, give their own
istoHice addresses ami certify that
they know the applicant and believe
that he wants the land for his own use
and benefit and is applying in good
faith.
The witnesses must swear to their
statement and the notary must certify
that the w itnesses are personally know n
to him. The requirements in making
an application for the purchase of state
land are now more strict than the form
alities in executing a deed.

were issued on fraudulent applications,
further payments on these deeds or cer
tificates are suspended until the board
has an opportunity to investigate.

purchasers.
Wool 27 Cents at Salem.
Salem The Salem Woolen Mills
company has now a standing offer of
27 cents per pound for good valley
wool. Although this offer is from 1 to
la cents in advance of the regular
market quotation, there are few takers
and very little of this year's product is
changing hands. Eastern Oregon wool
is worth from 25 to 2d cents here, but
there is none offered for sale of either
quality, and indications are tbut the
price may mount still higher.
