Attack the Police.
Washington, June 2(1. Russia has
given reassurance of its intentions in
the peace negotiations by placing the
president in possession of the tentative
selection of her plenipotentiaries, as fol
lows: M. Nelidoff, Russian Auibassa
dor at Paris, and Barun Roaun, the new
ly appointed Russian Ambassador at
Washington.
Russia thus having taken thejnitia
tive, it is believed Mr. Takahira, the
Japanese minister, during his call at Hie
White House today, Informally told the
President that Japan's selections, also
tentative, were Baron Kouiura, the Jap
anese minister for foreign affairs, ami
Rogoro Takahira, the Japanese mini
ter at Washington.
Warsaw, June 27 Rioting has given
place to revolution, not alone in War
saw, but throughout all 1'oiami.
Hundreds of men and women have been
shot and the enormous number of sol
diers hurried Into Poland by the auth
orities at St. Petersburg are barricaded
in their arsenals while mob rule prevails.
Sanguinary encounters between the
mol and the soldiers have taken place
today and in many instances the mobs
have had the better of the righting.
Only the absence of competent leaders
has prevented the people aeizing the
government seals, and many well-known
structures in the cities have been put to
the torch.
Here in Warsaw the conJitions are
most serious. hvery manufacturing es
tablishment is closed because of the
failure of the workers to put In an ap
pearance, the majority of them having
beyed the general strike order proinul
gated by the social democrats yesterday.
Such of the working classes as tried to
go to work today were shot' down In the
entrances to factories by their fellows,
ho are determined that all industry
roust cease until such time as the iiianu
facturers secure concessions from the
government which will benefit the con
dition of the people.
This city faces a bread famine as the
result of general observance of the strike
order. The bakers have Joined the
workmen in the streets. This is bound
result in much suffering and inci
dentally will add to the fury of the mob
demonstrations.
Kovno. Russia. June 20. A mob of
1000 persons surrounded and attacked
the police station and the governor gen

were broken before the rioters were
overpowered by the police. Five po

of Dragoons finally arrived and dispersed
the rioters.

The June numlier of The Taciflc
Monthly, in keeping with the w ell-known
publishers, has taken another big at-p
forward. The most striking feature of
this issue is perhaps the new depart
ment davoted to short stories. The edi
tors, realir.ing the great value of short
stories in an np-to-dats magazine, have
adopted a new department, the aim of
which is to publish more short stories
than any other ten-cent magazine, with
preference given to Western stories and
sentiment. There are ten unusually
bright stories in this June number, and
they treat in the most romantic fashion
all parts of the Pacific Coast. There is a
story of Japan, a story of mining in Ida
ho, a story ot Alaska, a love story of
California, an Indian story and others
that make the number of usual interest
in this particular.

Crop Report.
The past week has been showery and
cool, especially during the afternoons,
when the temperature was usually four
or five degrees below normal. The rains
have been beneficial to spring grain, and
the cool days have been favorable for
fall wheat and barley, which is now
heading and filling nicely. The damp
weather has caused the grain aphis to
become more numerous in the Willam
ette valley, where many fields of spring
wheat and oats are badly Infected with
this pest. Oats are turning red in tome
localities, and the crop generally is not
doing so well as expected. Forage crops
are generally Leavy and pasturage is
much better than usual at this time of
the year. The first crop of alfalfa has
been secured in good condition, and the
second crop promises to be above the
average in quantity. Haying, which
was becoming general, has been delayed
by the rains, and some cut hay in the
fields has been more or less Injured by
the wet weather. Potatoes and gardens
are making splendid growth. Hops, si
hough uneven, are now making satinfac
tory progress. Cherries are ripd and
plentiful in the market, although the
crop is considerably smaller than usual
Apples, peaches, prunes and peart eon
tinue to make good advancement, but
the fruit crop generally will be lighter
than ueual, owintt to fronts and cold
rains at the time of pollenization.

MITCHELL ON

LAND FRAUD TRIAL NOW ON
Robertson a Strong Witness for the
Government - Honey's Ad-
' drsss to the Jury.
The trial of Senator Mitchell has been
in progress daily since it was called last
week Thursday. The United States
court room during the past week has
been filled. Harry C. Robertson, form-
er private secretary to Senator Mitchell,
... i
made a very strong witness for the gov
eminent.
He was unshaken in the severe cross-
examination conducted by Ex-Senator
Thurston, and, unlike that of Judge
Tanner, there was no morsel of comfort
given the defense. The witness answer
ed all questions in a direct and positive
manner, and he passed through the
cross-examination without a skip oral
break. He stated in positive
terms
that he had refused to become a
tool of
his former employers, and in a quiet,
but reserved, manner, ho repeated con
versations he had with Senator Mitchell,
of the rage into which the senator flew
during these conversations, and ot the
1 m 1
oath which the defendant used during
this stormv interview. The witness

expedited, and of the attempt ot the de
fendant and Judge Tanner to frame up a
plot whereby they would evade prosecu
tion. RobertBon stated that he had in
formed Senator Mitchell that such a
scheme would fail because to many knew
of the firm's connection with the Kribs
claims. He told of Senator Mitchell's
stubborn determination to fight his ac
cusers, the senator Baying that be wat
innocent.
United States District Attorney
Heney cautioned the jury against any
attempts of the counsel for the defense,
to create sympathy for the defendant,
and admonished them to forget that
they were trying a Benazir, and remem
ber that it was John II. Mitchell.
Briefly he called attention to the un
pleasant task that was before him, but
he said that as an officer of the law, lis
was forced to prosecute tlio defendant
He couched his warning ngainst counsel
tor ths defense by saving: "Don't be
swayed by the dramatic arts of counsel,
by the tears of fullgrown men. whether
ti,ey come from actual feeling of ths
heart, or whether they are from unquali

At the Exposition.
The Portland harbor presents a war
time apiearance just now, for three of
Uncle Sam's warships are anchored in
me river, ana me booming ol big guns
reverberates from the wharves to the
grounds of the Lewis and Clark exposi
tion. The ships at anchor in the har
bor, which compose part of the United
States government's magnificent display
at tii coast fair, are the protected cruis
ers Boston and Chicago, and the torpedo
destroyer Perry. They remain indefin
itely, possibly for the whole eiponition
period, and certainly for several weeks.
The three vessels are anchored just
above the steel bridge, opposite ttie
business center of the city. They in iv
be visited from one to five o'clock irv
afternoon, and hundreds of people have
taken the advantage of the opportunity
to go abroad and see how Undo Sam's
jacktes live, and to study the methods of
naval warfare. The Boston was one of
Dewey's vessels in the battle of Manila
Bay, and the Chicago has the distinction
of being the nuoteus of the present great
Whits Squadron. The Chicago has an
armament of four eight-inch and four
teen five-inch guns, nine six-pounders,
two one-pounders, two Colt's automatic,
and one three-inch piece for duty
ashore.
During the stay of the warships in the
Portland harbor. Admiral Goodrich,
who commands the squadron, has given

sition. The drills' are huM on the nliizik

What promises to be the most realistic
sham battle in the annals of mimic war
fare is scheduled to take place at the
I wis and Clark exposition July 21, con
stituting the crowning feature of .three
dayt of military maneuvers in which at
least 1,5000 troops of the Oregon Nation
al Guard will take part. The battle will
be made realistic by the shooting of
cannons and small arms, loaded with
blank cartridges. The battle proper
will be between two detachments, one
wearing the brown khaki uniform and
ths other the blue. The browns will en
trench themselves on the hillside direct
ly west of the exposition grounds and
await the approach of the attacking
party of blues. The field artillery will
supplement the entrenched force, while
the cavalry will assist the attacking
party, operating from the rear or flank.
The details ot the attack and the defence
will bo left to the commanders of the
opposing forces, as strategy will count in
determining which side is the victor.
The attack is scheduled to take place at
sundown on July 21, and the engage
ment is expected to last for about two
hours. The hill-side where the brown's
will be entrenched reaches down to
Guild's Lake, the surpassing water
feature of the exposition, and the entire
maneuvers may be watched from the
Bridge of Nations, which spans the lake
and connects the mainland with the
peninsula on which the United States
Government buildings are situated.

No question of internal improvement
is commanding more attention at the

ning to be recognized as integral parts
of the transportation systems ot the
country. The present movement is de
signed, and tiie writer believes is des
tined, to unite the agricultural, business
aud commercial interests tor establish
ing a uniform system of permaueut
highways, commensurate w ith the needs
ot the country. Demands ot the public
for road improvements are increasing as
the subject becomes better understood.

There your mother glad and proud,
Sits and listens with the crowd,

To the time when she herself,
All beribboned and elato,

Filled with glad imaginings,

You may walk in flowerr ways,
Hearing only words of praise,
Ever keeping your young heart
Filled with love and free from hate,
Never Know ing sorrow's tmart,
Pretty little graduate.
