EXPLOSION AT POWDER MILL
Nineteen Men Killed and Entire Plant
a Total Wreck.
CotinelsviUe, Pa., Sept. 11. The
Rand powder nulls, at Fai reliance, six
miles south of Unlontown, were entire
ly wiped out by an explosion today.
Of the 32 men who went to work in
the mills, 19 are known to be dead. Of
these 13 have been identified.
Besides nine of the factory force who
were seriously injured, scores of people
in the town of Fairchance, within half
a mile of the powder mills, were more
or less painfully injured.
The shock of the explosion was dis
tinct'y felt in Connelsville, 20 miles
away, buildings being rocked to their
foundations. At Uniontown hunderds
of panes of class were broken. In the
town of Fairchance there is scarcely a
house that did not suffer damage. Hay
stacks were toppled over in the fields,
and livestock were stunned. The rails
of the B. & O. and the West Pennsyl
vania Traction company were thrown
from the roadbed and traffic delayed
six liouis. Train No. 52, on the H. A
O., had a narrow escape from annihi
lation. It had just passed the Rand
mills when the explosion occurred.
The windows in the coache were
shattered and passengers thrown in a
panic, A street car on the est Penn
sylvania railway had also passed a few
seconds before the explosion, and was
far enough away to escape damage,
though it was derailed.
RIOTS ABOUT OVER.
Baku Situation Shows Marked Change
for the Better.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 11. The situ
ation at Baku yesterday showed a slight
but perceptible change for the better.
Dispatches received here indicated that
the rioters had made no headway in
their attempts at incendiarism in the
black town" quarter, where compara
tive order was restored and only occa
sional shots were being fired. Several
banks will reopen today.
Oil men, escorted by troops, were
able for the first time to visit the oil
fields, which for four days had been
practcially in the hands of the Tartars.
They report scenes of indescribable de
struction. About three quarters of the
property there, they say, was burned to
the ground, and plundering and in
cendiarism continued. Hundreds of
tanks were destroyed, the pumping ma
chinery is useless, and the houses of
the workmen destroyed.
It is impossible to fix accurately the
losses sustained, but rebuilding opera
tions will take half a year if the work
men return immediately. One of the
oil men estimated the number of dead
at over 1,000, half of whom were killed
in the city during the early rioting, but
he admitted that the estimate was only
a guess.
POOR FOOD A1 CANAL.
Condition at Panama Was Caused by
Abnormal Rates.
New York, Sept. 11. It was learned
today that a condition of practical star
vation which has several times recently
threatened Panama canal laborers was
one of the grounds which caused Theo
dore P. Shonts, chairman of the Pana
ma Canal commission, to accept the J.
E. Markel bid for supplying food to
government employes at Panama, caus
ing two unsuccessful bidders to protest
to President Roosevelt. Chief Engin
eer John F. Stevens has been sending
daily appeals to the canal commission
ers' heaqduarters to send his men food.
It was said today by authority that
the laborers who are doing the hard
work have been for some time in a half
starved condition, due to the fact that
the demand for food has raised the
prices of all commodities to abnormal
figures in Panama. The dollar-a-day
men, with eggs at 10 cents each and
bad meat from 20 to 40 cents a pound,
have gone for two and three days at a
time without any food except that got
from sucking the wild cane in the
swamps. They have gathered around
the quarters of the officers, begging for
food, and daily cables to Washington
for food supplies have been the result.
In this emergency one of the reasons
for accepting the Markel bid, it is
learned, was the fact that he has an
organized force ready to put into Pan
ama at once.
Aguinaldo Still a Repel.
Manila, Sept. 11. Captain W. P.
Baker, medical officer of the constab
ulary, serving in the province of Ca-
vite, while testifying in a libel suit
aginst the Renaciemcnto, a native
newspaper, declared that Aguinaldo
was in league with the native outlaws.
He said that evidence to this effect was
obtained from captured chiefs. "The
people understand," he added, "that
Aguinaldo is the director ot the outlaw
campaign, and supposedly peaceful na
tives are aiding the movement under
the same understanding."
Lay All Blame on Newspapers.
Seattle, Wash., Sept. 11. Local
Japanese believe that the present riots
are stirred up by the newspapers an-
agonistic to the government. It ib
believed here that the Japanese parlia
ment, which is to convene in Novem
ber, will explain the meaning of the
peace treaty and the people will be sat
isfied. It is announced that, when the
envoys left Japan, there was no expec
tation in government circles of seem
ing an indemnity.
Seven Deaths In 24 Hours.
Berlin, Sept. 11. An official bulle
tin this afternoon announces that 19

ing at noon.
GIVE NEW EVIDENCE
Effect o( Judge Hunt's Ruling In
Land Fraud Cases.
HAD BEEN SHUT OUT PREVIOUSLY
Prosecution Scores Point Despite the
Vigorous Efforts of Attor
neys for Defense.
Portland, Sept. 9. The sensational
feature of the Williamson-Gesner-Rigga
case yesterday was the admission by
Judge Hunt of a line of testimony that
had been excluded by Judge De Haven
in the previous two trials, a:id who
had also declined to permit United
States District Attorney Honey to argue
the distinctions existing lift ween the
various title papers. Replying to an
inquiry from the court, lleney assured
Judge Hunt that he had not !een per
mitted to "get beyond the front door"
with any of his authorities bearing
upon the admissibility of the evidence
The question came up in the course
of the direct examination of Benjamin
F. Jones, a government witness. At
torney Bennett, for the defense, made a
vigoruos effort to exclude the testimony,
and took an exception to the ruling ot
the court.
The indictment charges that the con
spiracy was to induce a large numler
of persons to commit the offense of per-
juy by taking their oaths that they
would depose truly that certain decla
rations and depositions by them to be
subscribed were true, which in fact
contained material matters which were
not true, and which they did not at
the time believe to be true, to the effect
that certain lands which these persons
would then be applying to enter and
purchase in the manner provided by
law, were not being purchased by them
on speculation, but were being pur
chased in good faith to be appropriated
to the use and benefit of those persons
respectively, and that they had not, di
rectly or indirectly, made any agree
ment or contract, in any way or man
ner, with any other person or persons
whomsoever, by which the titles which
they might acquire from the United
States in and to such lands should in
ure, in whole or in part, to the benefit
of any person egxeept themselves, when
in truth and in fact such persons would
be applying to purchase buch lands on
speculation, and would have made ar
rangements and contracts with Wil
liamson, Gesner and Biggs to convey
the titles so obtained by them to Wil
liamson and Gesner.
1 WO ARE INDICTED.
Sheriff and Dr. Gesner Accused of
Trying to Intimidate.
Portland, Sept. 9. The Federal
grand jury returned an indictment yes
terday afternoon against C. Sam Smith,
sheriff of Crook county, and Dr. Ges
ner, charging them with intimidating
witnesses in the pending land fraud
cases.
It is charged that on August 17
Smith and Gesner endeavored to influ
ence Lark Elliott and John 8. Watkins,
of Prineville, Crook county, not to ap
pear as witnesses in the Williamson-Gesner-Biggs
case, and that the sheriff
offered to secure the acquittal of Elliott
from an indictment previously returned
by the Crook county grand jury charg
ing him with the larceny of a horse
and a calf.
To See Japan's Hand.
Washington, Sept. 9. Secretary Root
will at once take steps to ascertain the
real attitude of Japan on the question
of maintaining the "open door" in
Manchuria. The secretary will ask
Japan for permission to locate a consul
at Dalny, which has been leased to
that country. He will make the same
request for a consul at Harbin, which
will be again under the jurisdiction of
China. Russia refused to permit con
suls at these places because Dalny was
declared to be a military fortress and
Harbin likely to become the center of
military operations.
Russian Army Waits News.
Lamatenzi, Manchuria, Sept. 9. The
result of the Portsmouth conference
was officially announced to the Russian
forces today. The army, however, is
still without official orders from St.
Petersburg to cease its warlike activi
ties, and the situation is intense. The
soldiers are waiting for an armistice to
be declared, and they cannot under
stand how Russia can talk of peace
while the Japanese continue rconnais-
sances in force and outpost engage-
miits. The fighting of September 3 in
Corea cannot be understood here.
Famine in Nine Provinces.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 9. The first
sitting of a ministerial conference to
deal with the famine which threatens
a number of provinces was held today.
It was attended by the governors of the
provinces, representatives of theZemst
vob and Red Cross and philanthropic
societies and marshals of the nobility.
Reports were presented showing that
distress is acute in the provinces of
Saratoff, Rlzan, Samara, Penz, Tarn
boff, Orel,Voronesh, Toula and Viatka.
Last of Missouri Bribery Cases.
Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 9. The
bribery case against ex-State Senator
Charles A. Smith, of St. Louis, was
dismissed today. This disposes of all
the legislative bribery cases except
those against D. J. Kelly, said to be in
Canada.
TERROR RULES.
Russian Oil Industry Is Destroyed and
Thousands Killed.
Baku, Sept. 8. The situation here
tonight shows no signs of amelioration
It hardly could be worse. The terror
stricken inhabitants are (Wing, from
the city, knowing that the garrison "i
utterly inadequate to protect them and
although the worst scones of lire and
massacres have not yet occurred in
Baku itself, none dare think how far
the excesses may proceed.
The principal fighting is not in Baku
itself, but at Balakhan, where luui
drcds have been shot by the Infantry
and artillery and where 1,000 were
killed or wounded during a desperate
attack on the military camp ami pro
vision deiots. The troops sustained
few casualties. A large number of
workmen barricaded themselves in the
Balakhan hospital. The soldiers lagan
the attack with r i tie tire and then
stormed the hospital and completed
their work with the bayonet.
The entire oil and commercial qur
ters of Balukhnn, Sahunto and Roman!
have been wijd out by fire and the in
habitants remaining behind were mas
sacred and thrown into the tlames.
Rihiehat continues to burn and is
threatened with the same faie as Balak
ban.
The consulates, banks and building
in Baku are guarded by troops. All of
the English residents and almost all
other inhabitants of the better cluss
have Warded ships and gone to sea to
escape from danger. All available
steamers have been employed for this
purpose.
Martial law has lecn proclaimed in
the city. Nobody is allowed on the
streets after 8 o clock at night, and in
habitants of houses are held stmliy re
sponsible for shots fired trout them
Artillery was employed against one
house from which shots were fir til
There is a general panic in the ciy
A whole army of hungry workmen
driven in from the burned suburbs has
nocked into the city. There is the
greatest destitution, and measures for
transporting the workmen from the
city are imperatively necessary.
RIOTS IN JAPAN.
Martial Law Proclaimed as Result of
Dissatisfaction with Peace.
Tokio. Sent. 8. Martial law has
been declared throughout Japan and
the full power of the army is being
used to uphold the Mutsithito dynasty
and put down rioting, which threatens
to involve the enitre nation.
Rioting was resumed throughout the
country Thursday night and mobs
swarmed through the streets of this
and other cities, burning and destroy
ing homes, churches, and schools of
native Christians.
it is reported, although not con
firmed, that the few mission churches
and schools that escaped the vengeance
of the mobs Wednesday night are now
destroyed.
The temper of the mob is shown by
the fact that there are now more than
200 badly wounded policemen in the
hospitals and more are being taken
there hourly. What the casualties were
to the crowds cannot be estimated, as
many of the hurt were earned off by
friends.
BOGUS VOTERS CUT OUT.
Philadelphia List Purged of 48.000
Names Illegally There
Philadeplhia, Sept. 8. The
assesors
of the 1,104 election
districts of the
city, whose duty it is to place in voting
lists the names of all qualified electors,
completed their revision of the lists to
day. Cnusual interest was taken in
their work, because of the allegations
that more than 60,000 fraudulent
names had been placed on the lists.
For the last two months the policemen
and other employes, under the direc
tion of Mayor Weaver and the City
party, have been making a canvass of
the city for the purpose of purging the
lists of illgeal voters. The police made
reports alleging that more than 60,000
names were on the lists in violation of
the election laws. The assessors set
yesterday and today to revise the lists.
The number of names stricken off by
the assessors will not be known for sev
eral days. The secretary of the City
party tonight estimated that at Jeast
48,000 names had been dropped.
Russia Putting Treaty Into Effect.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 8. The news
of the signing of the peace treaty re
sulted immediately in an unwonted
outburst of active work at the Foreign
office. Each ministerial department
will be supplied with an official copy to
the end that every provision of the
treaty shall be understood thoroughly
by each minister, particularly on its
bearing on the changes provided for by
the treaty, which must be carried out
by the different ministers and depart
ments. The carrying out of the pro
visions will be proceeded with at once.
France Ready to Act.
Paris, Sept. 8. The government still
awaits word from Fez regarding the
sultan's answer to the second ulti
matum to Morocco, the time limit of
which expired yesteiday. The firm
ntention of the ministers is to enforce
redress witiiout reference to outsied in
fluences. Unofficial intimations have
been received that Germany does not
sympathize with a French military
demonstration against Morocco,, though
she would uot interfere.
Interned Crulssr Prepares To Go.
Vallejo, Cal., Sept. 8. The Russian
cruiser Lena will leave here Saturday
for San Francisco to be docked, painted
and Bcraped. She will then return for
three days to the navy yard to take on
her guns.
OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
STRIPES TO BE DISCARDED.
Oregon Convicts Will Wear Uniform
of Bluish Gray In Future.
Salem Stripse have been aimndoned
as prison garb in Oregon, and soon as
as the change enn bn effected without
throwing away good clothing, practical
ly all the convicts will wear uniforms
of a bluish gray. The change has been
ordered in the interests of discipline
and reformation, and stripes will be
placed upon a prisoner only as a means
of special punishment.
It is expected that the uniforms now
in use will be sufficiently worn by the
end of the year to justify their being
discarded. Many suits have already
been cast away and all new prisoners
are given suits of gray. When the
change has Veen perfected every prison
cr will be dressed in gray trousers,
shirt, blouse ami chp and this unifoim
will be worn during good behavior.
For infraction of prison rules a con
vict may be condemned to wear a
striped suit for a specified time or until
his conduct improves. This punish
ment, it is thought, will be sufficient
to reduce- all ordinary violations of
rules to the minimum. It is thought
that out of 850 convicts not more than
a dozen will wear stripes at any one
time. This system is in use in ."Sew
York, and is said to give satisfactory
results.
It has lHen suggested that prisoners
would more easily escape if they wear
tray suits than they could if dressed in
stripes. The prison officials say that
experience shows that convicts who es
cape manage to exchange their prison
garb for civilian clothing as soon as
they get out, so it will make no differ
ence what their uniforms are. At the
time of a break, if one were made, the
gray suits could be distinguished as far
as they could be seen, and this would
be all the advanatge striped suits have
over ordinary clothing.
Limit May Be Set.
Klamath Falls It now seems l:kely
that a limit will be set for the time on
which excess land holders in the Kla
math irrigation projects may sign the
excess trust deeds. So fur the Klamath
Water Users' association has Itccn un
able to get all of the large landowners
to sign up and become memlx-rs of the
association. Consequently Chief V.n
giueer F. 11. Newell says a limit will
be set before which time those who do
nut sign up will lsoe all benefits to ac
crue from government irrigation, ami
he suggests Octnlier 15 as the date for
the closing of the association's sub
scription books.
Valuations Nearly Doubled.
Grants Pass The completion of the
assessment roll foi Josephine county
shows a total valuation on assessable
property double that of last year. In
1904 the valuation was $2,034,095;
this year it is over $4,000,000. This
remarkable showing is the result of
loth the rapid growth of the county
and of Assessor Fallin'fl olicy of as
sessing all property to its full cash val
ue. This will mean a lowering ol the
tax ratfl. Tim valuation of much of
the property of the county remains un
changed, but many of the mines, city
property and railroad landswcre raised.
Grand Ronde Electric Road.
La Grande The Central Railway of
Oregon has filed in the office of county
recorder a bond and mortgage in the
sum of $2,000,000 to the American
Loan & Trust company, covering rights
of way, roadbed, rolling stock and oth
er property now in possession or to be
acquired. The Central Railway of
Oregon is the corporate title of the
company which proposed to construct
an electric railway system in the Grand
Rondn valley, embracing a trackage of
about 60 miles and connecting Hot I.ake,
Union, Cove, Elgin and La Grande.
Buys Big Farm.
The Dalles One of the most import
ant teal estate transactions that has
been made here recently is the sale of
the W. H. Tavlor fruit farm, one mile

proprietor of The Dallea nurseries, for
$100 an acre. The farm consists of 110

gestion of the Citizens' League com
mittee and raised the rate of assess
ment of the O. R. & N. company from

Telephone Exchange at Capital.
Salem A local private telephone

RELATIVES WILL NOT PAT.
Large Maorlty ol Insane Patients Llvs
at Expense of Stats.
Salem The act of the legislature 4
1903 requiring that the cost of keeping
insane patients at the state insane asyl
um shall be paid by relatives who are
financially able ami who are legally re
sponsible, is not working quite as welt
as was hoped. Though several hun
dred patients have been received at th
asylum since that law was passed, only
HH are on the list of those whose main
tenance should hi borne by relatives.
Only $2,002,115 has been collected from
this source during the two years and a
half the law has been in operation ami
$2,(13(1 .117 charged against relatives re
mains due and uncollectublo. Experi
ence has shown that a large propoltioit
of the patients received are witiiout
known relatives, or they are have no
relatives who are liable for their sup
port and who are able to pay the re
quired $10 a month. The amount
collected under this law is Inconsider
able, in Comparison with the total cost
of maintaining the state insane asylum.
Test Law's Validity.

to this state, and which may reult in
the repeal of the $.'(00 household ex
emption law, passed tty the state legis
lature, has Wen tiled here, and will ho

court. Ex-Representative W. C. Hale,
of this city, is plaintiff, and Judge J.
. Ilooth, Asxc.tsor W. 'I. Fall in and

the constitution of the state, and is,
theretore, void.
