Many Obstacles in Way of Appropria tion for Columbia Jetty. Washington, Jan. 19. Chairman Burton, of the house committee on riv ers and harbors, today gave a hearing to Senators .niton and ueatin, II. W. Scott and J. N. Teal, of Portland, on the Columbia river jetty project. Rep resentative Jones, ot Washington, who is a member of the committee, was also present and took part in the dis cussion. Mr. Burton is thoroughly familiar with the situation at the mouth ot the Columbia and is fully aware ot the tact that it would be good business policy to make an appropriation this session, not so much to extend the Jetty as to pro tect the work that has been done dur ing the past season. He realises that, unless an appropriation is made, tbe sea end of the jetty, and particularly the unprotected tramway, will be left at the mercy of the heavy seas and lia ble to I damaged to the extent of sev eral hundred thousand dollars. But, while Mr. Burton is in sym pathy with the Oregon men and while he recognissi the wisdom of an appro priation to protect the new portion ot the jetty, he is not willing to give any assurances that such an appropriation will be made. There is no general river and harbor bill this session, and it is a serious question in Mr. Burton's mind whether it will be possible to put through special legislation in the interest of only a few emergency pro jects. - , Mr. Burton stated, and the Oregon delegation agreed with him, that it wonld be utterly impossible to pass a special bill making an appropriation for this one project. Such a bill would be amended in the house and senate by the addition of appropriations for in numerable projects until in the end it would become a regular river and bar bor bill, and under existing conditions a bill of that character would stand no show of passage. Bat there are three or four other pro jects of importance, where emergencies exist similar to that at the mouth of the Columbia. Unless appropriations are made this session for the preserva tion ot these works, the government will sustain a heavy loss. Mr. Burton is considering the advisability of re porting an emergency bill making ap propriations for these specific projects only, but he is not yet satisfied that such a bill could get through without being amended to embrace many other projects. Mr. Burton, 1ecause ot ths condi tion that exists in congress and because of the ditticultics that stand in the way of special river and harbor legislation, will hold out no promises to the Ore gon representatives, though he freely admits his interest in Columbia river improvement and expresses his per sonal belief that an appropriation should be made. An appropriation ot $1,800,000 can not be had, but it is possible that $400,000 may be procured. Mr. Bur ton explains that it would be impossi ble to pass any bill which did more than provide funds to protect work al ready done. EACH ISLET A REPUBLIC. Russian Revolution Spreads to Dots of Land in Baltic. St. Petersburg, Jan. 18. In addition to the Caucasus and a few localities in Siberia, the open revolt is now chiefly confined to small islands off the Baltic coast, where the difficulty of landing troops hampers the subjugation of the revolutionists. The icebreaker Yermak, carrying detachementa of marines and infantry, has been unable to reach tbe principal island, Osel, at the entrance to the Gulf of Riga, and is now await ing a light-draft steamer to land the troops. Following the example of ' their brothers on the mainland, the peasan try ot even the tiniest islands in the Baltic have instituted independent re publics. One of these, on the islet of Linsuitt, probably the smallest state in the world, already boasts of a second revolution and a second president, the citizens having risen and overthrown the first president. The present chief magistrate, Jamneenson, is addressing them in proclamations as "my faithful subjects." Petition to Save Constitution. Boston, Jan. 19. Eric Pane, the artist, left Boston yesterday for Wash ington with the "Constitution peti tion," which he expects to present to congress. While in Washington Mr. Pape will try to secure th? signatures to the petition of many men prominent in national life, who have expressed themselves as favorable to tbe move ment to save "Old Ironsides." The petition is an immense affair, and re quires four men to carry it. It is esti mated that over 20,000 persons have signed it. Peace With Insurgents. 8an Domingo, Jan. 19. A treaty of peace between the insurgent generals at Monte Criati and the government was signed today on board the American cruiser Yankee. This assures perfect tranquility throughout the republic. Monte Cristi is now in the hands of the constitutional government forces. INSULT TO AMERICA Castro Not Satisfied With Trouble With France. FRENCH WARSHIPS ARE AT HAND Failing Instant Apology, Their Guns - Will Talk-United States May Take a Hand. Washington, Jan. 20 .Three Freuch warships are now off the Venezuelan coast preparing to deliver the answer of Franco to President Castro's treat ment of M. Taigny, the French repre sentative at Caracas, by a naval demon stratlon in Venezuelan waters. Two additional warships will join them as soon as they can make the trip across the Atlantic. Until the demonstration as been initiated, the French govern ment will share with the president and Secretary Root the knowledge of th exact form which this expression of her displeasure at President Castro's action will take. Meantime the delicacy of the situa tlon at Caracas is greatly increased by news which has recently reached here from that city regarding the attitude President Castro now appears to be assuming toward Mr. Russell, the American minister. Unless this atti tude is radically modified, it may be neceesary to dispatch an American war ship even nearer the Venezuelan coast than has already been planned. Presl dent Castro, it is said, will be given to understand that any treatment of an American representative such as that accorded to M. Taigny will not be tol erated. The cause which can be ascribed here for Mr. Castro's attitude toward Mr. Russell is that tbe former insists upon regarding as personal rather than ' official the efforts which Mr. Kiissell has made to assist a peace ful settlement of the Franco-Venezuelan troubles. The request ot tbe French government that its interests in Vene zuela be looked after by Mr. Russell was immediately granted for the reason that aucb a request is invariably grant ed by a friendly power however difficult the task. Trance has adopted a simple pro gram for her treatment of the Venezue lan situation. It provides for an im mediate and comprehensive apology by Castro for his treatment of M. Taigny, which treatment the Paris officials re gard as insulting and intolerable. One dispatch sent to Mr. Russell last Sunday had not been delivered to him up to tbe time tbe last dispatch was sent by him to the State depart ment. This is being inquired into by the department. FUNDS FOR SEA WALL. California Supreme Court Gives Fa vorable Decision. San Francisco, Jan. 20. The Su preme court this afternoon handed down a decision by which funds will soon be available for the completion of the San Francisco sea wall. The court sustained the validity of the so-called sea wall act, passed by the legislature in March, 1903, which authorized the state board of barbot commissioners to issue $2,000,000 in bonds to complete the San Francisco sea wall. Tbe harbor commissioners proceeded to issue bonds under this act, but State Treasurer Reeves refused to approve the issue. Tbe commissioners there upon applied to the Supreme court for a writ of mandamus to compel the state treasurer to sign the bond issue. Tbe court by its decision today di rects the state treasurer to sign tbe bonds. Tbe harbor commission, it is understood, will now issue bonds under the act from time to time nntil the full $2,000 000 worth are on tbe market. Afraid to Show His Face. St. Petersburg, Jan.. 20. Distrustful of the spirit of his capital and perhaps remembering the incident of last Janu ary, when one of the saluting guns showered grape on tbe imperial chapel, the emperor will not come to St. Petersburg for the ceremony of the blessing of the waters of the Neva to morrow. For the first time since the Empress Anna laid tbe foundations of the winter palace in 1732, the great church festival of tbe Epiphany will pass without the presence of the sov ereign. Funst'on May Go to China. San Francisco, Jan. 20. The Call will say tomorrow that Brigadier Gen eral Frederick Funston will soon be relieved from the command of the de partment of California and ordered to the Philippines, where he will be placed in charge ot one of the brigades which is being formed in Luzon with a view to their possible utilization in connection with any move which may be made against China.
