Conger Condemns Failure to Build Railroad as Promised. Des Moines, la., Sept. 23. In an address before the Grant club tonight, cx-Mlnlster to China Edwin II. Conger said that by the failure ot the Ameri- cans to build the Chinese railway, faith had been broken with China, and America's good standing with the Chin ese seriously impaired. "We made a very serious mistake when we permitted our railroad conces sion in China to bo relinquished," said Mr. Conger. "It will prove a sad blow to our future efforts to establish ad vantageous busines relations with that country. It will set us back many years. "When wo wero granted the conces sion, personally I made representations to the Chinese that the railroad would bo built bv the Americana who got the concession, assured them upon my hon or that It was not secured for the pur pose of exploitation, and that it would not bo sold or relinquished. Now, however, it has been, and the business men ot China feel that they have a right to look upon future business propositions fiom Americans with sus picion." DISAGREE ABOUT FORTS. COMES DOWN WITH CRASH. Sweden and Norway Still Keep Ques tion of Demolition Open. Karlstad, Sept. 23. The Swrdlth and Norwegians eommlal',ner8 met in joint conference this evening after the holding of separate conferences during the day. The joint conference lasted nearly four hours and was then ad journed until tomorrow. It is understood that the Swedish de mands that the transit trade through both countries shall be secured against unjustifiable obstruction, and tor the right of pasturing reindeer belonging to Swedish Laplanders in Northern Norway, have been amicably settled, but that teh question ot the demolition of tho fortifications still remains open.

A cruiser, a gun boat and u torpedo boat destroyer ore being held in readiness in case tho de mand is not complied with. Work Begun on Western Pacific. Salt Lake City, Sept. 23. Forty teams began work on the Western Paci fic road 20 miles west of the city, and officials announce that 1,600 or 2,000 teams will be at work by Octobor 1, Bandstand Drops Load of People and Injures Many. Belleville, III., Sopt. 22. Three per sons were seriously injured and it is believed that nearly. 200 were more or less painfully hurt by the collapse of a bandstand tonight during a carnival and street fair. Seriously injured: Mrs. Damrich, Belleville, internal injuries; Frank Dieti, Jr., Belleville, internal Injuries; Miss Bertha Schrieber, Belleville, in jury to leg, sprained ankle and bruised about body, hands and face. As soon as the excitement subsided and the injured were taken from among tne maw ot timbers, others who were on the carnival grounds attended them. The accident was caused by people :rowding upen the bandstand as a van tage point to witness a loop-the-loop exhibition. Hundreds took standing room on the stand. Salem That some very careless work has been done in taking tho statu cen sus is evident from the returns thus far revolved by Secretary of State Dunbar irom county clerks, uniy low coun ties have sent In their census returns, out II tno reports irom those lew aro n fair samplo of what tho wholo will be, It may safely be said that tho census will bo very unsatisfactory. Not only aro thcro many glaring errors in minor details, but tho totals show that In the enumeration of opulatlon thorough work has not been done. The returns from Klamath county, for instance, will scarcely bo pleasing to the people of that growing section of tho state. The footings of the column devoted to population show that Kin- inatli lias now 3,830 inhabitants, while the Federal census ot live years ago dis closed n population of 3,070, or 134 more. Only seven Indians aro report ed a residing In Klamath county, ac cording to the stato census, taken by tne assessor, while the l-ederal census contained tho (Information that Kin math had 1,130 Indians. Of the 3,83(1 inhabitants reported In 1005 by the as sessor, 2,220 are males and 1,010 aro females. There are 1,337 legal voters and 1,047 men liable for military duty. The Klamath county returns also fall to show the population of the Incorpor ated cities, an item of Information al ways desired. Aiuoiik the minor error are such as might be duo to clerical mistakes, such as classing a woman or a minor as liable to military duty. hrrora of tms kind wero apparently duo to making a mark inadvertently in tho wrong column, and such errors make no material differences in the total. The most imKrtant matter is that of securing a full enumeration, and It is doubtful whether the teople of Klamath county will want to have the records show a decrease in population in the last five years. DEMAND TREATY BE BROKEN Anti-Peace Meeting at Toklo Demands Radical Action. Tokio, Sept. 22. An anti peace meeting held in Uyena park today was barely attended, owing to a heavy rain. The tone ot the meeting wai quiet. The approaches to the park were guarded by troops, but no guards were pouted Inside.

Booth, manager of the Booth-Kelly Lumber company, makes the announcement that the com pany's big mill at Springfield will, as soon as enough men can bo secured, lie- gin to run at night, thus doubling the present capacity of the plant. It is said that the company's mill nt Wend ling, which has been idle ever since the great shortage of cars on the South ern Pacific railroad seven years ago caused it to bo shut down, will resume operations in a short time. The mat ter ot a small difference In freight rates on tho Mohawk branch Is said to be all that prevents tho Immediate resump tion of operations at endling. No Timber Has Been Burned. Tillamook The recent soaking rain was timely. All fear of forest fires this year has been allayed, tor tho timber in the mountains had a thorough soak ing, as well as tho meadows, which will help fall pasture. Tho rain also put out the fires of the settlers who are clearing up and burning brush. Most all the settlers have been engaged in clearing up land more or less this sum mer, and County Clerk G. It. Lamb has issued 5,860 fire permits. Settlers have used great care in not allowing the fires to get away from them, and as a result not a stick of timber has been damaged this year by forest fires. Cement Right at Hand,' Klamath Falls Aftor a .thorough learch and much experimenting, the government experts havo discovered a formation here for the manufacture of Portland cement.

The I ml price generally paid tins boon 2)ij cents, though a premium of li cent was paid on tho largest site. As a rule, the Italian prunes average In the 40-50 site, thus giving the grow er 4S, cents a pound, or a fraction better, for his entire crop. There are a few orchards that hnvo yielded prunes that will average 30-40 to the iKiuud, thus giving tho grower 5 cents a pound f or his entire crop. Petite prunes In this vicinity gtnor ally average In the 60.00 site, innklng the nverngu prlcu for that arloty 'A cents a H)iind. Since the bulk of the crop was marketed, prices have stiffen ed a little, and orders hnvu liooti re ceived hero at a basis of 'Z cents and even 3 cents. Manager II. K. (lite, ot the Wil lamette Valley Prune association, esti mates the prune cruptrlubtnry toSalom at 75 carloads, or 3,000,000 Kund. Of this, (100,000 pounds are IVtitos and tho remainder Italians. The prune crop ot this vicinity will therefore yield In the neighborhood of f 125,000. The yield is only about one-third ota norm al crop. The stockholder nt the Willamette Valley Priiuu association held an nil journcd session of the annual meeting last week and received tho manager's report for 1003 and 1001.

Those sonnl- ors ami representatives who visited Alaska this summer, Including Speaker Caution, wero not favorably Impressed with tho Idea ot giving that territory a delognto to congress, but hnvo outlined n substitute plnn which they will bring forward next session, They propose treating Alaska ns congress treats tho District of Columbia', appointing n spo clitl committee In tho somite and house to consider and linudlo all legislation relating to Alaska.
