Funston Will Return to United

COMMAND WAS ONLY TEMPORARY
One Faction of Cubans Declared Fun
ston Deserted Thtm In War
Against Spaniards,
Havana, Oct. 11. General Frederick
Funston will not continue in command
of the American forces in Cab. Gov
ernor Taft announced tonight that he
and General Funston will leave Havana
for the United States on Saturday on
the battleship Louisiana. With them
will go Assistant Secretary of 6tate Ba
con, and the affaiis of Cuba will be left
in the hands of Governor Magoon and
Genetal J. F. Bell. Explaining the
change of plans, Mr. Taft said:
"General Funston was summoned on
a harry call from the Pacific coast be
cause he was well acquainted with
many of the insurgent chiefs here, and
it was thought he could aid ns, as he
did greatly, in bringing the men in
arms to an agreement. General Funs
ton was put temporarily in command of
the trojps in Cuba merely as a conven
ience until General Bell should arrive.
General Funston, Mr. Bacon and my
self, with Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Bacon
and our secretaries, are returning to
our permanent duties."
Taft'a especial confidence in the chief
of the general staff's ability to carry
out the piogram the governor has ini
tiated resulted in the decision to con
tinue him in the island.
Many Cubans of the faction to which
Mendf x Capote and others who organ
ised the Moderate party belong, were
ootskpoken against General Fnnston,
alleging that he had deserted them in
the war to throw off the yoe of Spain.
SMUGGLE CHINESE.
Fishing Schooner On New England
Coast Lands Orientals.
Providence, R. I., Oct. II. Eighteen
Chinete were arretted today after the
capture by the United States immigra
tion authorities of the ichoooet yacht
Frolic, for which revenue officers have
been searching along the New England
coast for the past two weeks, were held
tonight by United States Commissioner
Cross in $1 000 bail each for examina
tion next Wednesday. All the men
declared they had been in the United
States before, but that their certificates
had been lost, some in New York and
others in the fire at San Francisco.
This declaration contradicted a state
ment alleged to have been made by
John 0. Lehnemann, of Boston, one of
the men arrested for complicity in the
smuggling operations, who says the
traffic has been extensive and effective.
BLOW TO DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Had Planned Great Send-Off British
Envoy Worried. .
St. Petersburg, Oct. 11. What is
described here tonight as the "ignomini
ous fixzle" of the much heralded visit
to Moscow and St. Petersburg of a B.lt
ish deputation to present a memorial
of sympathy to the dissolved parlia
ment is another blow to the Constitu
tional Democrats, who were arranging
a reception to the deputation as a bril
liant send-off in the campaign.
This proposed visit was extremely
embarrassing to the British ambassa
dor, Sir Arthur Nicholson, in view of
the negotiations for an entente between
Russia and Great Britain. Pressure
was brought to bear in London to stop
the movement, and it was decided not
to receive the deputation officially at
the empassy here. This device is
thought to have inspired the interview
given out by the British consul at Mos
cow, who declared that the members of
the deputation were not known, and
that the proposed visit was in bad taste.
Trylnir To Hold Together.
Helslngfors, Oct. 11. At today's
session of the Constitutional Democrat
ic convention the committee's reos'n
tlonp reclaiming the Impossibility of
passive resistance was adopted, 84 ayes
to 44 noes. The minority amendment
recommending organisation for passive
resistance was rejected by 83 ayes to 53
noes. The congress has shown striking
weakness in the party, which is highly
dangerous in view of the approaching
electoral campaign, and this In spite
of the influanre toward cohesion result

NOBLES FLY COUNTRY.
Stampedo of Russian Rich to Refugo
In Free England.
London, Oct. 12. For some time
past statements have been mnda Kith
more or less authority to tho effect
that some members of I he Czar's fam
ily were making secret arrangements to
leave Kustla, should certain eventuali
ties occur, and take refugo in England.
These statements have been regarded
as part of the inevitable rumois to bo
expected to arise from the stale of
affairs in the Muscovite dominions. In
vestigations by the Publishers' Press
correspondent, however, reveal circum
stances which point to their truth.
Largo quantities of jewels, pictures
and furniture hbve arrived in this
country from the imperial palaces in
Russia Inst lntely, and havo been
placed in sale storage. A leading
banker told the PuDlishera'g Press cor
respondent that consignments of prop
erty of enormous valne had recently ar
rived there from Russia.
"We have received packets of Jewels,
costly furniture and numbers of pic
tures, the value of each of which runs
well into five figures," h said. "The
owners are very highly placed."
The question pnt point blank as to
whether they belonged to the Roman
offs, the reply was made that it was
gaintt the rules to give such informa
tion.
A confirmation of the assertion that
at least two of the grand dukes and
grand duchesses intend to give the ter
rorists a wide berth, and to find an
asylum in England, is found in thefict
bat inqnirles for the best estates and
houses in the market aro being made
among West End estate and houte
gents by Rnselan gentlemen, who,
while asking for particulars of the most
valuable estates, refuse to give the
names or tho people lor wuorn tuey
are required.
CAR BLOCKADE IN THE EAST
Orders for Thousands Are Given
That Cannot Be Filled.
Chicago, Oct. IS. The congestion of
freight traffic baa ircreaed so fast
within the last few days that railway
officials fear they are soon to be face to
free with a blcckade. Conditions on
the Eastern roads which have not only
to handle the business which they orig
inate bat have the crops of the West
pouring in upon them for export, are
natnrally the worst, bat those on the
Western lines alio are rapidly bi com
ing extremely serious.
With the approach of winter the
movement of coil has grown heavier,
aggravating tho congested conditions
which already exist, and traffic men
say they do not know what they will do
for cars when the year's enormous crop
of corn is ready for market, as it will
be now in a short time.
A line belonging to one of the big
Eastern railway systems bad orders for
4,235 cars wh'cb it could not fill. The
Pennsylvania proposes to give not)w
that for 36 hours it will receive no
consignments from the Pittsburg dis
trict, the object being to get the tracks
partly clear of crs which have accu
mulated on its lines.

Buffalo bore the brant of the storm.
The damage in this city alono Is not (ar
from a qnarter of a million dollars, and
two deaths occurred, which were direct
ly due to the effec's of the storm. All
night the telephone and electric light

bers of the Department nf Superintend

WOULD REVISE LAWS,
Superintendents and Principals Sug
gest Important Changes.
Salem If the legislature of 1007
shall grant any considerable portion of
the recommendations of the county
school superintendents o( Oregon, the
public schools ol the state will have
more funds, longer terms and better
paid teachers. In annual session here
the superintendents and principals
agree! upon many deilied changes in
the school laws, some ot them of much
importance and Interest not only to
teachers and officers, hut to taxpayes
and school patrons generally.
That the minimum length of term a
district shall maintain school shall be
increased Iroru three to five mouths,
atd that the county school levy shall
Ira raised from $6 pr capita to f 8 per
capita, weie tho most Important changes
suggested This is raising the mini
mum term 60 per cent, and increasing
the minimum county levy 33 per cei.t.
One recommendation of general Inteiest
to teachers is that an application be
granted but one second cr third grade
ceitificato in this state. At present
only one such ceilltlcHtemay be obtain
ed in a county, but by going from one
Tounty to another a teacher may get 33
third grade certificate. The proposed
change in the law wilt compel teachers
to advance from year to year in their
educational qualifications.
In order to raise the standard for
county papers, it Is advised that alge
bra and physical geography be added to
the list of subjects upon which an ap
plicant mutt le examined for a first
grade county certificate, and that ment
al arithmetic be dropped as n separate
subject. Composition, bookkeeping
and general history were suggted as
proper subjects to be Included In the
examination for first grade county cer
tificates, but only the two mentioned
were approved.
