She was brought to Sasebo. St. Petersburg, Jan. 21.— With riot ous strikers to the number of hundreds of thousands parading the streets of the capital city, and the continual spread of the feeling of unrest through out the empire, the Russian govern ment is in a terrible predicament. Even worse than the news of the disas ters in the Far East is the alarm felt in official quarters over the domestic sit? nation. Troops are guarding the pal ace and all public building*, but it is not deemed wise to call upon them to suppress the disorder, except in ex treme cases. y? - Late Friday evening an organized mob attacked the Marcus cardboard factory and attempted to throw the manager from the window, and it wap reported that the strike fever had ex tended to the Alexandrovsk machine works, where 7,000 men are employed; the Baltic cartridge factory, owned by the government, and Baron Streglitz’ cloth factory, the latter employing 3,000 people of both sexes; the state distillery and the Kaller and Beckman distilleries. The employes ofe the Russo-American rubber company, the Youkoff hoop factory, and a new cotton spinning establishment were the latest acquisitions to the tied-np industries.

The city is almost in darknese,'owing to the strike of electric light employes, and it is stated that newspaper publica tion will be suspended. The situation grows hourly darker, and the prospects for a settlement of the difficulties vanished when the min ister of finance refused to receive a del egation of workingmen. * PROVIDE FOR ALASKA NATIVES. President Endorses Emmons’ Report on Effects o f Immigration. Washington, Jan. 23.— In transmit ting to the senate today a report by Lieutenant G. T. Emmons, of the navy, on the condition of the natives of Alsaska, the president sent a message saying: “ Lieutenant Emmons had for many years peculiar facilities for ascertainiag the facts about the natives of Alaska, and has recently concluded an investi gation made on the ground by my special direction. I very earnestly ask the attention of the congress to the facts set forth in this report as to the needs of the native people of Alaska. It seems to me that our honor as a na tion is involved in seeing that these needs are met. I earnestly hope that legislation along the general lines advo cated by Lieutenant Emmons can be enacted.” In his report Lieutenant Emmons says that the inrush of white men into Alaska has caused a complete changa in of conditions; that the game is rapidly being killed off and the food supply of the Indians rapidly exhausted; that they are like grown-up cHiTdreh knd incapable of taking care of themselves in the new conditions, and that it will be necessary to do something sub stantial for them at an early date to prevent actual suffering. May Tie Up Big Railroad. Philadelphia, Jan. 23. — Though both sides are firm and not disposed to yield anything, developments tixlay in the controversy between the Pennsyl vania railroad company an.1 the Bro- therhood of Trainmen indicatedTflat an amicable settlement of the dispute may be effected shortly. The chance of a strike was temporarily averted by the decision of Vice Grand Master Lee and his associates to send for ( trand Master P. H. Morrissey for the purpoHfe of consultation with the railway offi cials in the hope of a settlement. - Russia Reiterates Her Protest. Washington, Jan. 23.— Count Cas sini, the Russian ambassador here, called at the State department today and presented to Secretary Hay the an swer of the Russian government to the secretary’s last note respecting Chinese neutrality. The Russian commtanica- tion, it is said, consists of a repetition of the matters of complaint set forth in the circular note to the powers, but in this case they are supported by argu mentative statements. Minnesota's Great Exhibit. Minneapolis, Jan. 23. — It is pro posed that the Minnesota educational exhibit, which won the grand prise at the St. Louis fair, be sent to the Lewis and Clark exposition st Portland. P U T IN CHARGE. United Staffs to Manage Finances of Santo Domingo Government. Santo Domingo, Republie of Santo Domingo, Jan. 25.— A protocol between the Dominican government and the American minister, Mr. Dawson, and Commauder A . C. Dillingham, U S., N., in behalf of the American govern ment, was signed yesterday. The prin cipal conditions are that the American government guarantees the complete integrity of the Dominican territory, agrees to undertake the adjustment of all obligations of the Dominican gov ernment, foreign and domestic, and the conditions of payments; to‘adjust unreasonable claims and to determine the validity and amount of pending claims. In the case of the appointment of one or more - commissions to reach an adjustment the Dominican govern ment shall be represented in order to protect its responsibility. The American government will take charge of the existing customs houses and those hereafter to be created, and will name the employes necessary to their management, the duties they will exercise and their rights. These will be considered Dominicans and subject to the laws of the republic. The Do minican government will have at each custom house inspectors in behalf of its interests, and from'and after the d&te the contract takes effect. The present employes are to be considered as acting under.its provisions. Out of the revenues collected at the custom house of the republic, the American government w ill deliver to the Dominicans 46 per cent of the total gross amount for the purpose of attend ing to the necessities of the budget. Out of the 66 per cent, the American government will pay the employes of the custom house, and the interest on the amortization of the foreign and do mestic debts. The whole surplus may remain and each fiscal year will be de? livered to the Dominican government and devoted to the payment of its debts. OPPOSED BY M O NDELL. He Will Prevent Passage of Klamath Irrigation Bill if Possible. Washington, Jan. 26.— An effort will be made< when the opportunity presents itself, to secure passage through the house of a bill recently passed by the senate permitting the secretary of the interior to utilize Lower Klamath, Tule and Goose lakes and all tributary waters in connnection with the Klamath or other irrigation works undertilken under the national irrigation law. There- will be opposition to this bill in the house, however, which may be able to prevent its passage. This was shown by an adverse report made on the bill by Chairman Mondell, of the irrigation committee. The entire committee, with the ex ception of Mondell, is in favor of the passage of the bill and concur in a fav orable report made by Representative Williamson. In his report Williamson quotes from a letter of the director of the geological survey, urging the pas sage of the bill. Among other things the director s a y s :' “ The feasibility of the Klamath irri gation project, from an engineering standpoint, is beyond question, and it is also one of the cheapest projects that has been found by the reclamation service. “ The bill is intended to authorize the secretary of the interior to so utilize these lakes as may be necessary for the best development of the country under th e’reclamation act. This would not be possible afithout specific authority from congress, on account of their navi gable capacity,-which, while insignifi cant in value, is such as to bring theinr technically within the direct jurisdic tion of congress. “ The devlopment of this project for the irrigation of 300,000 acres of land, about one-half of which is public land or at the disposition of the public, pre sents no physical difficulties of any im portance. It may he stated further that connected with this possible devel opment is an opportunity to extend the system to include some 90,000 acres of irrigable Tahd In the Klamath Indian reservation at some future time, when these lands may be thrown open to set tlement.” Tiffla in State o f Siege. Victoria, B. C., Jan. 26.— Captain Orlan Cullen, representative of the Im perial Marine association of Tokio, re ceived a cablegram from Constantinople tonight to the effect that 1,600 Circas sians had revolted and killed the Rus- sian guard, numbering 200, at Slavini, in,the Caucasus, and that Russians and Turks in large numbers were crossing the frontier into the Caucasus to spread revolution in Tiflia province. Tiflis City is practically in a state of siege, he said, and communication it had only by dispatch-bearers. OREGON OTATE ITEMS OF INTEREST IN T H E LEGISLATURE.

Hemingway have traveled pretty well over Eastern Oregon look ing for land, and finally determined that Wasco county afforded better hft ducementa than any other section of the eastern part of the state. They say no other section of Oregon has land that will produce as much. Woman Trampled in Rush.
