i I JEWS ARE DOOMED Russian Police Have Tianncil Massacre at Easter. SPURRING ON BUCK HUNDRED Proclamations of Blood Issued, Says League of Writers, Which Appeals to Russians. 8t. Petersburg, March 31. The League ot Russian AVi iters has issued an appeal to the Russian people to unite in the came ot their consciences and self-respect to preveut the Jewish massacres whlh, they far, are beyond doubt being prepared in Southwestern Russia for Eastertide. The appeal says that it is not fancy bnt tact that the police and gendarmes are arranging to let loose the Black Hundred upon the members ot the poor, helpless race. It recalls that the Kishineff, Goml and Odessa anti-Jewish outrages were com mitted at the instigation ot Minister ot the Interior von Plehve, Chief of Police Xeidbardt and Count Podgericbanie, Chief ot the grndarmerie ot Gomel. Jutt as in the past times St. Bartho lomew day were arranged by agents ot the government, the appeal declares, the recent proclamations emanating from the printing office of the police master at St. Petersburg and that of the military at Odessa leare no doubt that the authorities re privy to the present propaganda. Theatpeal furth er declares that M- KaOtoasky's book warning Jewi to Wave Russia immedi ately or be treated as the Jews were treated by the Spaniards in the Middle ages was printed and distributed from the offices ot the polk matters ot St. Petersburg and Kkatertnoslav. The League ot Writers claims to bold proof that matsacrea have, been planned to take place at Alexandrevtk. Minsk, Brest-Litovtk. Rottet-on-Don and Kie mentchug. It also points out that the anti-Jewith press is spreading insidious rumors to excite the ignorant. BIGGEST OF ALL BATTLESHIPS. Naval Officers Divided on Building of 22,00O-Yon Monster.

One great battleship, even it It be swifter and have mere gnat than ether ships afloat, they contend, caaaot ac complish anything in aetual warfare, and is no mere effective than the slower and 1 formidable ships with which it is joined in action.

It is expected that this conference will at once ad journ sine die without an agreement. The action ot the two conferences will directly canto the suspension of work after Saturday by ITS, 000 miners unless something unforeseen, like sub mission ot the differences to arbitra tion, should intervene, and indirectly will affect 06,500 more miners, not including its effect on 150,000 miners in tbe anthracite field, who were last night ordered to tuspend work Monday. A national convention ot the miners will be held today to decide whether miners will be allowed to sign the ad .vance scale demanded and today re fused by all operators with a few excep tions, and to go to work where the ad vance is offered.

The wage scales ot all miners, botL anthracite and bituminous, will expire Saturday, except those in Tenneesee and Alabama, where the scale will ex pire in September.

TZSTT2Z "wr I OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST STUPIDIT.Y OF CANDIDATES. Aspirants for Stato Legislative Honors Show Great Density. Salem Men who seek to be lawmak ers or judges have the 'greatest trouble in preparing their primary petitions in such a manner as to comply with the provision! of the direct primary law. If it were not a ctnel unkindnrss to those who aspire to these high ami im portant offices, many stories could be told ot the great difficulty some of them have had In understanding the law and complying with its terms. One candidate tor the circuit bench has propounded a simple qnestion con cerning the requirements ot the law, and has volunteered his own opinion as to Its meaning, whereas the law itself contains a plain and unequivocal pro vision directly at variance with his views. Should he have as great diffi culty in understanding the law after he secured a place on the circuit bench, there will be plenty ot causes for ap peal to the Supreme court. Seven times Secretary of State Dun bar has been compelled to write to ono man regarding the manner ot preparing his petition, and that man wants to come to Salem and help make laws for the state of Oregon. There is still a possibility that he will not get his papers drawn in substantial compli ance with the law and will be shut out ot the privilege ot being a candidate in the primaries. Petitions are now being rushed to the office of the secretary ot State and the clerks ia that department are. being kept busy early and late checking up the papers, to see that they contain the required number ot names, from the specified number ot counties ana pre cincts. March SO is the last day upon which nominating petitions eaa be filed tor placet on the primary billot. IVtaa- crata express the fear the t some el their candidates will not get their petittoat completed by that time. Roads Over UrrutMta Reserve. Pendleton Agitation eontinued for years for public roadt acror the Uma tilla reservation will at last be success ful. Under an act of congrrss, public roads may be laid out across a reserva tion in the tame manner as elsewhere, except that the toad has to be approved by the department. In the pail it bat been held that the county had no rights upon the reservation, and consequently the nee ot the roads has been at the pleasure ot the Indians. For several years the taking ol sheep across the re- eerve has been prohibited. Abandon Cascade Road. Albany Charles Alttchal, represent lag the Willamette Valley A Ceast Cas cade Mountain agon Road company, bat notified county clerk B. M.

Salem According to county hws ore' returns already examined the total population of Oregon will b lees than that given by the Federal census of 1W0. In many instances the returns show on their face that no attempt was made at accuracy, and this lack ot care Is of tuch a natnre that Secretary of State Dunbar will hardly be able to complete the tabulation of the stato census of 1005 until some tiruo this tall, possibly not before next winter. There was no appropriation made to provide extra help to do this work, con sequently it must be done by the regu lar office force. The primary and gen eral elections furntth all the work the employes of the office can handle tor some time to come. It will be neces sary to work overtime to tabulate the returns of the primary election, and to get the official ballot out for the June election. The cenius return t in many instan ces were not properly extended. It will be necessary to go over all the papers and check them up, a slow and tedlout process. With the present help, it will require weeks, and possibly months, to tabulate the returns properly. Buy'ng Timber for Speculation.

JETTY BILL IN COMMITTEE. Strong Hope It Will Be Favorably Re ported to House. Washington, March 23. Tho home committee on rivers and harbors today took up Senator Fulton's bill appro priating 1400,000 far Jttty work at the mouth of the Columbia river, but It was decided to poitpone formal consid eration of the bill until the committee gets together all available documentary evidence ot the urgent need of this ap propriation. When the data has been rollects-l and it will Include the re ports ot army engineers, a statement from Senator Fa I ton and papers from Portland commercial interests the committee will again be railed together, Mr. Fulton will be given hearing and the committee rill then determine what disposition to rrake ot the bill. Nothing developed at today's meet ing to indicate hew the committee will view this measure, but Repeeenlatlve Jones, ot Washington, a member of the committee and a very eathusiattic tup porter ot the bill, taid after the com mittee adjourned that he believed the bill would be favorably reported, if the committee eoold take such aetloa with out being compelled to attach a large number of ether appropriations to that for the Columbia river. He is person ally convinced that this is a strictly emergency bill aad Is not in favor of adding other appropiatloas for which there is leas neeetrtlty at this time. There is strong hope that the commit tee may become impressed with the pe culiar merits ot this bill ami content to report It without amendment or with oat attaching other appropriations which would prove fatal.
