BURTON WILL HELP.
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.
