Stilted early In tho year, but nothing
waa heard ol It following tho fire until
thin wenk. when W. II. Mill, of the
Houthern Pacific, In a letter to James

originally Intended that tho exposition

Purls In 1010, and would enable Han
Franclico to have the exhibit trans,
forred a they were from Ht. Louis to
Portland.
The auggeatlon of Mr. Mllta haa ben
well recolved. Mr. 1'belan In a cordial
reply suggested that Mr. Mllta consult
with other who are known to b Inter
etted In inch a project. If sentiment

Inary'ttepa will then bo taken to form
a corporation to finance tha undertak
Inn
It la tho general opinion fiat audi
an expoiltlon morn than anything elite
would contribute to tho future welfare
of Han Francisco. It I not intended to
operate on any inch scale at the Ht.
Iml fair, but to use the Portland ex
potlllon a a model and build on line
unique and artistic. A a alte for the

UNWILLING TO SWALLOW DOSE
Taft and Dacon Tell Government of
Terms Arranged With Lead
ers of Liberal Party.
Havana, Hept. 26. An unsatisfacto
ry conference waa held at tho palace
laat night by President Palrna, Hccre
tary ol tUe Troaiury Fontsy Sterling,
Secretary ol State O'Farrlll, Freyro
Andrade, speaker ol the lower house,
Secretary ol War Taft and Mr. ilacon,
Consul General Steluhart and Captain
McCoy, when the mediators called tho
attention of the Cuban administration
to the status ol Ha peace negotiations
with the Libert ind Insurgents. The
conference adjourned at 11 o'clock to
bo resumed today.
Tho peace terms proposod are known
to be agalntt the government. The
visit to the ptlare of tho American
rommlatlonora was therefore not par
tlcularly pleasant. On departing, Mr.
Talt announced that tho conference bad
resulted only In exchange of opinions
and that another meeting was neccs.
aary. Tho big door: of tho palaco clos
ed aa usual at 11 o'clock, but the presi
dent and member of the cabinet re
mained In conference long after that
hour.
At the conclusion of a long conference
between a committee of the Insurgents
of eight members and the American
praco commUalonore, the Insurgent
committee announced that there was
practically no difference remaining be
tween It and Meiar. Taft and liacon,
and that they would receive a. draft of
tho peace term today. These probab
ly would be agreed to at a meeting to
be hold in t'.ie Presidio, where tho pris
oner member of the committee are
confined.
Mr. Taft tald he could give no de
tail of what transpired at the confer
ence, for the reason that it wa necet
ary to treat with tho government lead
er and that the publication ol tho
peace propctal might interfere with
their prompt acceptance.
Tho absence of a definite statement
from the commissioner makes it Im
possible to say whether the plans cairy
tho resignations of the present admin
istration and tho congrtaamtn elected
laat year or not. There Is a strong Im
pression that Mr. Palma will remain
and reorganize tho cabinet, but that
now elections will be held lor half the
senators and representative, In other
words thore who were elected laat year,
and possibly alto for provincial ofllcera,

Lumbermen ttato that tho price of
timber has reached its highest mark
and tho action ol the government will
probably cause a decline. An authori
ty on tho situation this morning stated
that lumber price will drop November
1, and tho succeeding months will tee
a gradual decline in ail grades of build
lug material. This lumberman state
that tho decrease ia partially due to the
settlement of the sailor' strike. Ho
eajs that timber can now be brought
Into San Francisco at much lower rate
than heretofore, ami can also bo band

8TANDR0 EMPLOYES 8TRIKE.
Conflict at Whiting, Ind., May Spread
Throughout Middle West.
Chicago, Hept. 24. Warfaro be
tween the Standard Oil company and
the labor unions of the country was
bogun latt night, when the Whiting,
Ind., emplo-ea of the company quit
work to force tbelr demand for an in
create In waget. The ttrlke, which at
ready threatena to tie op the business
of the big corporation in the Middle
West, la likely to assume gigantic pro
portions before It is ended. It waa pre
dicted latt night it might involvo all
the employee of the company in the
country.
Already the Chicago labor unions are
preparing to selit the opportunity pre
sented by the Whiting strike to make
trore trouble for the company. They
were wholly unprepared, became the
employes there were not members of a
union, but after a hasty conference latt
night it waa said that they would sup
port the men who went out and that no
one from Chicago would take tbelr
places. Three hundred firemen em
ployed by the Standard Oil company
left tholr places yesterday. More than
5,000 employee who are working with
the firemen aro scheduled to leave their
places today. These Include engineers,
skilled mechanics, laborers and others,
the officials of whom said last night
that they would refute members of the
organisation work when new members
might be put to work in place of the
strikers.
Tho firemen wero called out because
tho representatives of the Standard OH
company nfuted to advance wage from
22 H cents an hour to 25 cent an bour,
and agree to grant all the workmen the
eight liour day. They also refused to
recognize the union.
RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN BEGUN.
Parties Hold Muzzled Conventions
Reaction in Trepoff'a Favor.
Ht. Petersburg, Sept. 24. Active
work In trie autumn electoral campaign
waa Inaugurated by tlio Octoheritla,
who today opened the Kazan congreaa
with delegatea from 12 of the Volga
provincea and the vast central district
of Iluasla in attendance. Alexander
Guchkoff, the Octoberist leader, waa
present, laboring tooth and nail.
Owing to failure of the Octoberlats to
obtain official eaactlon, the congress
was held behind closed doora and mem
bera of the press were excluded.
In pursuance of the decision of the
government to permit the national con
gress of the Constitutional Democratic
party anywhere except In Ht. Peters
burg, the administration has permitted
the reopening of Constitutional Demo
cratic clubs In Moscow and elsewhere,
but persists In its determination to
suppress political agitation In the capi
tal. The moat remarkable development
ol the week haa been the change in sen
timent concerning the late General
Trcpofl. The universal chorus of mal
ediction and condemnation has given
place since his death to a non-partisan
appreciation ol his real merits and de
fects, and his career has been the sub
ject ol fair and even laudatory criti
cisms in nearly all circles. M. Mem
chinskl, a prominent writer and pub
litber, who was recently euppreaeed,
but who is now a contributor to Here
lorn, gives the following verdict on tho
basis of lifelong acquaintance with the
dead man:
"General TrepofI was an excellent
man and a good official, though be
sometimes violated his own convictions
because of a false notion ot soldierly
obedience. He would have made a
splendid toldlor, but lacked a thorough
education and, above all, the prepara
tion necf ttary for the political activity
thrust upon him. He possessed, how
ever, one great attet, lacking In all con
temporary Rutslan statesmen charac
ter." Will Pay No Blood Money.

Newfoundland Angry at Parent.
St. Johnt, N. F Sept. 24 The re
ported determination of tho Imperial
government to override the colonial au
thorities and concede to the American
commission a more liberal construction
ot tho herring fishery laws asked on be
half of American fishermen, has evoked
nvich criticism here. Canada, it ia
said, may be a factor In the dispute, as
she has for years enforced againBt
Americana the laws that Newfoundland
now seeks to make effective.

an uncommon thing for an angler with

that a trout may grow to weigh eleven

great difficulty In accounting for IU
variation In size.
