SB" 11 H ilrlmlHii ii liim lm FORM NEW MINISTRY Spread of Revolt Among Troops Alarms Czar and Court. GOVERNMENT IN FEAR OF ARMY Now From Provinces Shows Gene ral Anarchy To Be Growing Procurator Gives In. St. Feterabarg, Jane SO. The cam paign which the opposition elements In parliaments are waging to compel Emperor Nicholas to dismiss the Go remykin ministry and accept the prin ciple of a responsible ministry prom ises to be successful eoon. Both tle emperor and the conrt are frightened into surrender by the alarming spread of revolutionary ideas among the troops. When the Freobrajensky regiment, "His Majesty's Own," pronounced its solidarity with parliament at Krasno Eelo, less than a dozen miles from the Feterhof palace, the emperor's eyes opened and the court began tn realize that there was only a step from that to declaring allegiance to parliament as ayainst the government. Even the procurator general of the holy synod, M. PobedonostsefT, who to day celebrated his sixtieth jubilee of his entrance Into the service of the state, and who has been much at Peter hot recently, is said to have reversed the position of a life time and to have advised the emperor to yield to the de mand for a responsible ministry as the only means of preserving the throne. The government's sudden feir of affronting public opinion, after finding the army affected with the revolution ary propaganda, is shown in the hur ried grant of a new trial to seven men condemned to dea'h at Riga, the ac quittal of six others and the commuta tion of death sentences imposed on the three murders of the foreman of the FutiloQ Iron works. The news from the provinces shows that general anarchy is growing. In Altara and Taurido provinces the peas ants are abandoning the fields, and in Tula province roving bands are march ing through the country, dragging In their wake not only the workers from the fields, but the domestic servants of the gentry. RED CROSS THIEF. Superintendent of Relief Station Steals Blankets and Is Caught. San Francisco, June 30. Accnied of selling large quantities of blankets and appropriating the money, John Clark, superintendent of the Red Croea relief station No. 1, At Golden Gate park, and George Bryant, engineer at the children's playground in the park, who, it is alleged, aided and abetted Clark, were arrested by detectives today. The police state that they were made aware of the alleged peculations through A. Suggerman, a junk dealer. While a refugee in the park, Bugger man made the acquaintance of Bryant, and after Suggerman had resumed bus iness, it is alleged, Bryant called upon him and said ho could sell him a quan tity of new government blankets. Bry ant said he could deliver him 400 pairs, and if the price was satisfactory it would lead to a delivery of 800 pairs por week. Suggerman notified the police, who set a trap for the man. After some haggling, a price of $1.25 a pair was agreed upon, and, according to Detec tive Ryan, Bryant bonded Suggerman an envelope with Clark's name on it, which the teamster was to band to Clark, so that Clark would know the right nan. A wagon followed by the detectives was sent for the blankets today and se cured 400, which are being held as evi dence. Clark was arrested at the relief station, and Bryant at Buggerman'a store, where he was waiting to receive the money. Marine Corps Want Wynne to Stay. New York, Jane SO. Captain Rob ert F. Wynne, of the United States Marine corps, sent his formal reaigna tion from the service to Brigadier Gen eral George F. Elliott, commandant of the Marine corps, yesterday, to be for warded to the president.

Washington, June SO, According to m cable message received at the Navy department today from Commander Hosloy, commanding the drydork Dew ey expedition, hia rquad-on left Singa pore today, bound for the naval station of Oiongapo, in Sable bay, about 40 miles north of Manila, which is to be the permanent location of the big dock. TOO BUSY FOR REVISION Senator Warren Says Country Is Too Prosperous to Think of TarlfT. Washington, Juno 29. Senator War ren mado a speech in the senate today on his resolution calling on the director of the census for a statement covering the extent of the livestock industry of the United Btates and of the foreign business in this country in leather and raw material. He cited the recent agitation concerning this Industry as his reason for seeking this Information. He confidently asserted that the state ment wunld show an astonishing In crease and that the product of not less than $2,000,000,000 annually, more than the valuo of all the gold produced by the United States in the entire his tory of the country. Warren pronounced as unjust and selfish the demand made by tho manu facturers lor free hides. He said that while the livestock men do not envy Massachusetts its prosperity they do not desire to add to it by taking off the dnty of hides and wool, and closed an appeal for the continuance of tho tariff. "We are," ho said, "too busy, too well employed, too well paid for our labor, too prosperous to think seriously of tariff revision in the year of our Lord, 1000." FAITH IN THE BAY CITY. CIaus Spreckles Says !t Will Be the Greatest Port on Hemisphere. Chicago, June 29. "San Francisco will soon be Greater San Francisco in deed as we are in namo. Things have settled themselves since our terrible dis aster, capitaists are patting their mon ey into rebuilding and enlarging and in beautifying, and the people general ly am exercising a great degree of con fidence in the city's future prosperity." Clans Spreckles, of San Francisco, who with bis wife was in San Francisco yesterday, thus expressed blmtelt in discussing the future of his home city. All financial Interests, he said, al though tie spoke especially for the sugar interests, were firm in the belief that San Francisco would become the largest and most important port of en try in the western hemisphere. "When our Oriental trade, already large, has beco-ae still larger, and when new modern buildings have sprang up out of the ruins, as they sorely will, San irancisco will be a greater city in -all ways," he said. ATTORNEYS ARE CALLED. Instructions Given for Action Against Standard Oil. Washington, Jane 29. Attorney General Moody had conferences today with Frank B. Kellogg and diaries B. Morrison, who have been engaged as special couneel in the investigation which is being made into the affairs of the Standard Oil company, with a view to ascertaining whether there have been any violations of the antl-trnat law. With reference to this it wai stated today that further investigation is to be made. The attorney general also held con ferences with some of the district at torneys he bad summoned to Washing ton, and it was stated that they were being instructed as to how they should proceed against the Standard UU com pany. It was also said to be most likely that special grand juries will bo called to determine whether the Standard Oil company has been granted rebates or concessions. Earthquake In Wales. Cardiff, Wales, June 20. Violent earthquake shocks were felt throughout South Wales at 04:6 this morning. Homes rocked and many of the cheaper ones were damaged. Hundreds of chimneys fell, occupants of dwellings weret brown to the ground and people fled from their houses, shrieking in panic, with visions of the Ban Fran cisco disaster before them. Though there were many narrow escapes from falling chimneys and copings, there were no casualties so far as known. Earthquake shocks were also felt at Bristol, Iifracombe and elsewhere. They were accompanied by loud rum blings. Earthquake in Ohio. Cleveland, O., June 29. A shock of felt here at 4:10 o'clock this afternoon is pronounced by Cleveland scientists to have been an earthquake. It is re ported to have shaken the southern shore of Lake Erie for a distance of 100 miles, the eastern limit being rinesville and the western limit Mar- blehead. No damage has been re ported, though in some places the shock was sufficient to slam doors and rattle windows. Local scientists bo lieve the seat of the seismic disturbance was probably beneath Lake Erie, France Faces Big Deficit. Paris, Jane 20. Finance Minister Polncalro intrdouced the budget in the chamber of deputios yesterday showing a considerable deficit in consequence of tho extraordinary expenditure for the military preparations during tbe Mo roccan crisio, amounting to $50,000,000, and alao $30 000,000, owing to in creased expenditure resulting from in ternal reforms. OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST MEASURE IS DEFECTIVE. Anti-Pass Law Does Not Contain an Enacting Clauso. Salem What disposition to make of the anti-pats law Is a problem that is troubling the stnto ofilclals. It is not because they do not favor tho enact ment of such a law. They are not call ed upon to pass upon that phase of tho question. It was discovered before tho law was submitted to tho pcoplo that it was fa tally defective, in that It did not con tain an enacting clauso. Tho law books were scanned for eonio authority to correct the defect, but it was discov ered that It could not bo corrected or amondod. Tho law on that point was explicit. The constitution says all laws must have an enacting clause, and the Su preme court has decided that a law without an enacting clause Is void. The secretary of state must submit all measures to a vote of tho people that are filed in his office with tho proper number of names signed to the petition. Ho has no authority to pass upon the constitutionality of tho pro posed law, or question its expediency. ALL POLICIES ARE CANCELED. Attorney General Advises Traders' In surance Policyholders. Salem Attorney General Crawford advises all persons having insurance in the Traders' Inaursnce company, which recently became insolvent, to reinsure if they wish insurance, and to file claims with the receiver for the un earned portions of their premiums. Suit for the appointment of a receiver was brought a few days ago, and the secretary of state and state treasurer were made parties, because tho state baa $60,000 bonds to secure policies in this state. When Attorney General Crawford re turned from Eastern Oregon tho papers in the case were turned over to him. He says that in his opinion all policies were cancelled when the company went into bankruptcy and policy holders can have no claim except for unearned premiums. Vinegar Factory is Assured. La Grande That La Grando will have a vinegar factory, wbich will be in operation In time to handle the crop of fall apples, is now an assured fact. Nearly all the stock has been subscrib ed. Cash stock rubscriptlous, amount ing to nearly $30,000 have been made. The building will be 45x160 with ce ment cellars, and the factory will have a capacityy for handling 100,000 bush els during the year, with an output of approximately 300 000 gallons of vine gar, apple wine and cider. Colony of Poles for Lane. Eugene John J. von Gortomrki, of Toledo, O., and (V. Szclotzhicurrz, of Portland, representing a colonizing company, which Intends to locate a col ony of Poles in Lane county, are in bugeno making final arrangements to bring tbe colonists. An agreement has been made with the Booth-Kel ley Lum ber company whereby a targe number of the colonists are to be employed iny tho company's sawmills and loseinel camps. Others will purchase small tracts of land and engage In farming. Grand Ronde Farmers Jubilant. La Grande Wheat growers in the Grand Ronde valley are Jubilant over tbe outlook for their crops this season. Fall wheats aro giving every indication of being eqnally as good as laat year and the spring wheat, it is closely esti mated, will yield nearly two hushids to one of last year. Judging from the little difficulty the farmers are having in securing employes there will le no trouble in getting sufficient help to harvest the crops. Unlesa there Is an exodus to other sections there eLould be no shortage of help. Hay Harvest Begins In Marlon. Salem Farmers are rejoicing over the cessation of rain, and many have commenced haying, though cutting will not be in full swing until next week. With favorable weather, au immense crop of hay will be saved. Grain is reported in excellent condition. Many hopgrowers are behind with training vines, owing to bad weather, but the growth has been good. Gardens have been benefitted by the late rains. Good Meeting Assured. Ashland The annual asaembly of the Southern Oregon Chautauqua asso ciation opens at Ashland Wednesday, July 11, and continues for 10 days.

Yield In Grand Rondo Valley Reachos 40,000 Tons. La Grando Machinists nro Inlay at tho sugar fictory overhauling thu ma chinery and getting tho plant in order for the summor run for tho working In to brown sugar of the residue syrup of lust year. Tho mill expects to start on this run early In July, and wtll con tinue for six or eight weeks, which wilt bring it almost up to tho time when tho regular fall run will commence, which to meet demands must begin not later than thu mlddlo of September. Tho pressing need for this unusually early beginning Is brought about by tho exceptional heavy crop of beets that Is expected to be harvested this year and which must be disponed of before the hard frosts come; thoreforo an early start Is necessary to get all tho beet through. Manager Ufamwell Is enthualaitlc on tho present prospects for n beet crop. He tays: "We have 4,400 acres of beets this year and at least 4,000 acre of thin is a perfect at and. Tho only dltlkulty that confronts us Is the scarcity of help. We employ all tho white help we can and then fill out with the beat we can get. In addition to our homo supply of help we have about -00 Jap anese." Tho yield of beets for this year Is m tlraated at between 35,000 and 40,000 ton, with a sugar output of not less than 10,000,000 pounds. high Wages Promised. Tho Dalles The paat few days of warm weather have cauicd hay making to be pushed with nnusutl vigor, and farmhands find plenty of labor at $2 per day. There appears to be plenty of labor ti handle the hay crop, but farm ers anticipate there will be a shortage of laborers when wheat harvest begins, which will bo toward the latter part of July, aa harvest will bo somewhat later this season than of ordinary seasons. It is likely header drivers will com mand $3 a day, header wagon drivers, $2 to $2.60, and separator tenders from $3.60 to $4. Ordinary laborers, fork tenders and stackers, will command $2 a day. Big Crops In Harney. Burns The late high water and heavy rain storms in June will insurea large crop of wild hay. Most stockmen are claiming that this season's hay crop will be larger and better than for the last five yeara. Last winter was a se vere one on atock and there was but little fodder left over. Tbe stockmen have moit every winter from three to fonr months feeding, so it will take an Immense crop to last them through the coming winter. Grain is looking well and promises to be a heavy yield. Tho acreage has been greatly increased. Weston Wheat Flourishes. Weston The whrat In this section la making rapid growth since the recent rains, and will make a good average yield. PORTLAND MARKETS.
