SUNDAY'S ELECTIONS ARE
OF MOMENT IN FRANCE
PARIS, April 28. Tomorrow th gen
ral lction will b held and, th coun
try will pass judgment on the Waldck
llousseau administration. The decision
of the French electorate Is, of course,
roblemaUcaV but It: may be safely said
that the signs point to a brilliant victory
for the Waldeck-Rousseau niUilitry.
The , average Frebeh voter U by , no
mean o weir Informed "m the -average
American or Englishman regarding ls
uea of national politic.
Butt with all. hie disqualifications, he
has a keen scent for what promotes the
glory and wealth ol France, and the Idea
that there ha been a safe, atrpng Pre
mier directing affairs for the past three
year bat lodged Itself firmly in his mind.
. Bloc the time of Gambetta, France has
had no statesman whose personality has
so typified 'the republican Ideal as the
present Premier. His ministry has lasted
the longest of any during the- past 80
years. (H gave up a most lucrative
practice at the Palace of Justice when
President Loubet appealed to his patri
otism. In June. 1899, at a time France was
distracted by the,. Dreyfus agitation that
the triumph' of the reactionaries or a
military electorship seemed possible.
M. Waldeck-Rousseau then succeeded
In forming a cabinet, which appealed to
men from .all parts of the republican
horison to Join hands in : the political
principle' of which he was the most in
defatigable and the most tactful advo
cate. The measure of his success Is per
haps best denoted by the fact that to
morrow Franca Is asked to vote, not for
or against the monarchy, the empire or
the republic, but for or against M. Waldeck-Ronsseau.
Broad and weighty considerations com
mend the present government to the elec
tors. In its foreign and domestic policies
It has been prudent and productive. Most
cabinets of the third republic if they
have scored at home, have failed abroad.
Not so the Waldesk-Rouaseau adminis
tration. In bringing about the visit of
the Csar and Csartna to Bethany, which
M. Lou bet Is about to return; in effecting
the rapprochement with Italy that re
THOUSANDS SETTLING IN WEST
(Journal Special Service.)
CHICAGO, April 26. Carefully prepared
estimates show that the spring homeseek
ers' movement has already sent It, 000
settlers Into the Stat of Washington
alone.
Accurate figures as to the settlement in
Northern Minnesota, North Dakota ' and
Montana are not yet available, but It is
thought that the statistics will show at
least 20 per cent more immigration than
the figures for Washington.
On this basis, the settlement of the
states from Minnesota west to the Paci
fic, due to the travel this spring, has al
ready reached a total of 97,000 people.
This is jl.OOO more than the estimate for
the movement during th spring of 1901,
Figures have Just been received from the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce, indicat
ing that tba lines reaching that city have
already brought In 11,000 settlers, all of
whom will locate In the "inland empire,"
the basln 300 miles in diameter in which
Spokane Is located.
The chamber compiled Its figures from
the reports of agents who watched the
INTERNATIONAL
VACCINATION
Passengers who cross over the Canadian
boundary line from Northport, Wash., to
Rossland, B. C, are compelled to submit
to a rigid inspection. The Canadian gov
ernment sends surgeons on board the
trains armed with lances and vaccine
points. Passengers are required to show
vaccination scars or to exhibit certificates
showing that they have recently had
vaccine virus introduced into their sys
tem. It Is probable If the United States
government was equally as insistent on
this point, much smallpox that now
rages in the Northwest would be kept on
the other side of the border, and would
eventually, by concerted action of both
governments, bo stamped out of exist
ence. It very ' frequently happens that the
passenger never has been vaccinated, or
If he has, can not show a certificate to
that effect Then again, there are some
persons who object to being vaccinated.
It is not tba Intention of the Canadian
authorities to play any favorites, but
there is one Portland railroad man who
knows how to work the dodge successful
ly. A few days ago while he was sitting
in the train wondering how he could get
through the Inspection, for he lacked a
certificate, and wasn't particularly hank
ering to take a shot of virus, the con
ductor came to his rescue. The doctor
was proceeding down the car aisle in
nocuiating passengers to the right and
left Some kicked and swore that they
wouldn't submit to such treatment, but
they one and all, succumbed and "took
their medicine."
When the doctor came to the Portland
er the conductor said:
"Oh, h's a railroad man a traveling
freight agent and he's all right."
The doctor accepted the bluff in good
faith and "passed him up."
NEARLY GAVE HIM PARESIS
There is a certain office In Portland In
which there ate two main line telephones.
The occupants , of this office had an ex
perience the other day which they de?
clare gave them paresis, and if the tan
gle hadn't beon straightened out, . it Is
certain they would have been driven In
to driveling idiocy. ...
It so chanced that both 'telephones were
found to be out of order the same day.
Th matter was- reported to headquarters
and a man who claimed to be an expert
was sent to the scene. That two "hello"
girls and two business men are not now
oonflnsd at Balert Isn't his fault The
man cam dwn with a bag of tools and
climbed' th telephoen pole -in great so1r
malty. H placed his ear to the top
f t pel, ' fiddled with a fll n th
rossarm, tickled th wire with a pair of
ogly-locklng cutnippers. descended to the
UiK suit put la hi rprt to th effect
sulted In the Franco-Italian commercial
treaty,, and the agreement by which
France secured a free band In Morocco

thwart Italy's plana as to Tripoli; In the
Mltylene inoldest, and finally. In the ex
tension of the Franco-Russian alliance to
Asiaan event of stupendous Importance
in these' four achievements the govern
ment has displayed the highest order of
statesmanship applied to foreign rela
tions. ,
C ln domestic affairs the difficulties of
the Waldeck-Rousseau cabinet have al
ways' been serious nnd at times apparent
ly Insuperable. The cyclonic fury of the
Dreyfus controversy, has "left traces
which two generations will scarcely re
move. Had a man less resourceful, lens
courageous, less capable of Impressing
Parliament, the army , and the pop-Jlaee
with his patriotism and his honesty ben
charged with responsibllUythe horrors
of civil strife, the commune and revo
lution, might again hay Tailen upon
France. " That crisis was, passed safety,
and out of the revelations It involved
came the salutary reiorm which placed
the army In proper subordination to the
civil power. , ., .
With the adoption of the law of asso
ciations, cheeking the aggressions of the
religious orders and - confining them to
their proper' sphere, a decisive step was
taken forward from the point of view of
economic development and the guarantee
of republican Institutions. The enemies
of the Premier. predicted that widespread
agitation would follow an attempt to
enforce, the measure,, but Its provisions
have been carried out In the spirit In
which they were conceived, without pas
sion and without wedVness.
With such a splendid record of achieve
ments In Its favor there are certainly
good grounds for the expectation that
the government wlllte Indorsed at the
polls tomorrow. Whatever the verdict
of the constituencies may be, however,
there is little, prospect of any addition
to the members of the popular legislature
who will openly prof ess. themselves either
monarchists ox Imperialists.
arrival of trains and recorded the exact
number of settlers arriving. Th re
port shows that the 11,000 were handled
by the Great Northern, the Northern Pa
cific and the Oregon Railway & Naviga
tion Unas, the Oreat Northern carrying
6500, the Northern Pacific 3500. and the
Oregon 1000.
Coast line officials state that the num
ber recorded as entering Spokane la con
servatively placed at one-fourth of the
total immigration to that state. They
regard the estimates of 53,000 new settlers
in Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana
as fairly conservative.
In all probability. North Dakota alone
has already received as many settlers as
Washington, they say, which would make
Its share 44,000. This would leave but
9000 to b divided between Montana and
Minnesota, a figure considered very
"safe," and probably very low.
Accurate tables showing the Immigra
tion of the spring are being prepared dv
the Coast lines and will be in form for
Issue very soon after the close of the
movement, probably at the end of May.
that all was well. Those two main line
'phones ought to have had a clean bill
of health, but they didn't get It.
When business opened with the two
men who get a living In this office, next
morning, there came a jingle over both
'phones and two men sprang to the re
ceivers. Mr. A. found that when he
wanted Main 00, he was switched over
to single ffa line. Mr. B. found that when
his soul panted for 0, he was sidetracked
to 00' s line, even though his soul panted
as doth the hart for the water brooks.
It was an inspiring sight to see those two
men rushing madly first to one 'phone
and then to the other, to get their muddle
straightened out. It was a great game
of shuttlecock and battledore that they
played with themselves. They devoted at
least 30 minutes to this hilarious ex
ercise. Here is the way the thing sound
ed to The Journal man: ,u
"Say, Central, what's wrong? Have
you got 'era, again?"
Somebody put on the buzzer. Finally,
when Central froze him -with an air of
superior knowledge, he fired back a
broadside like this:
"What yer givin' us? I tell you this
is single 0. I guess I ought to know.
That's my own 'phone. I'm sitting here
with it in my lap now. I know I'm
right."
"You ain't, either!"
"I am!"
"You ain't!"
"I " Brsh-h-h-h!!!
Of course. Central had Ihe last word.
The. telephone company sent another
man, who really fixed things rightly, and
peace once more reigns supreme in that
office.

ArchbUhp Williams- was born In this
slty, April 37. iV He began his edu;
cation at a private school. Later be
I went to 'the 3".loiclan College,' at Mon
treal, and In 1841 was sent to the the
ological nilnary conducted by the same
fathers in Parts, where he was ordained
In 1S43. ')n his return home he was as
signed to the Franklln-Strcet Cathedral,
In this city, as assistant, and afterward
as rector. A few years later he war ap
pointed' vicar-general of the" dioces "by
Bishop Fltzpatrick, whom he succeeded
as bishop of the diocese in 18SS. In 1875
Boston was raised to an 'archbishopric,
and on May 3 the pallium was conferred
on Archbishop Williams.
In all the long course of years that he
has lived as priest, btahop and archbish
op in Boston, the same seal and devotion
to duty have characterised Archbishop'
Williams, and it has been said for many
that that hlsils one of the best-governed
dioceses in the country, and that with
the church authorities at Rom no bish
op In the United States has a higher
standing. By the priests of his diocese
Archbishop Williams Is revered as a
father, loved for li!s personal qualities
and respected for his jhougbtfufriess of
them and those in their care. It has
been the proud boast of the priests of the
diocese that there never has been any
trouble between bishop and clergy.

"I tell you, old Market street ill San

pearance lately," said Avery C. Hilton
today,' Mr. Hilton is the traveling pas
senger agent of the Erie lines at Ban
Francisco, and Is here in the Interests
of hlB company. "It is amusing to see
I the makeshifts brought into requisition to
take tne place of the street-cars, now that
the strike is on. Anybody that owns a
vehicle has it out to catch business. You
never saw a greater aggregation of old
'quill-wheels' than those doing duty up
and down Market street. Old wagons,
that can hardly stand alone, with a lot
of dining-room chairs strapped in them
for seats, can be seen doing the, line. 1
wouldn't care to risk my neck in such
things. They've raised the price to 10
cents a fare, and are all doing, a land

Bohemia mines.
The Bohemian mining district Is rapidly
coming to the front. Aside from the
iarge number of mines there fairly well
developed, innumerable prospects are be

Helena Consolidated, owned and operat
ed by local men, which declared Its 25th
dividend today, and the property Is only
23 months old. lJurlng that time it has
paid the owners $143,000 after the great
expense which was incurred In treating
the ore, etc.
The ore found ntenr the surface Is free
milling and is treated with a 10-stamp
mill. As detph is attained the ore be

smelter treatment. Thousands of tons of
this kind of ore have been blocked out.

road is built Into the district. The con
tract for the construction of the road
has been let to the Pacific Construction
Company. It Is .a spur of, the Southern,
Pacific, running from Cottage Grove to
Kohemla, a dtxtance of, 37 miles. When
this road is completed, it is estimated
that freight and treatment of the ore
will amount to but $13 per ton, whereas
the combined charges amount to 321 at
