With such a condition of affairs there

Natwaliy of a morose- and melancholy
disposition,' Nicholas Tt has had little to
lighten the heavy burden ot his position
since ascending the throne That he has
meant, welf can. not be denied. On hi
Slst birthday, three years ago, he gave
evidence, of his liberalism by abolishing
the system of deportation of convicts to
Siberia. A year later he took the Initia
tive In the movement which led to -the
universal peace conference at The Hague.

FAVORS' NEW SITE.
Correspondent Urges Selection of
the Tefwilliger, Tract.
To the Journal: Many locations have
been named for the proposed Lewis and
Clark Exposition site. . No doubt alM
have more or less merit tor considera
tion. " ' . . - .
To the writer, however, it seems that
only such site, should be selected which
combines ths most .natural advantages
and the least 'outlay In preparing the
grounds ana cneapest possime transpor
tation. , " . . ; ". ;
We must remember that our means
will be limited at best, even if the state
and Congress should make liberal appro
priations. To expend the bulk of this
'fund for' grading, railroads, expensivo
machinery in carrying water, etc., etc.,
Would not be advisable. Inasmuch the
real object of having v an exposition
would be hampered for want ot proper
buildings, and the main object therefore
defeated.
TO establish the Fair on the East Side
would, tn the writer's estimation, be a
serious mistake. One of the main- objec
tions would be the shaky eondltlon of our
county bridges, especially In three years
hence. Transportation facilities,, diffi
culty of access and sliding hills make
the City Park location impracticable ana
dreamy. Free view and natural beauty
ts the only advantage the City Park site
may brag of. -Bui view of our grand
snow peaks and other beautiful scenery
may be had at other locations.
The Exposition site should be selected
on the west side of the river, where
the bulk of "the city's population does
now and the visitors to the Exposition
will reside, and where all freight and
passengers for the fair will have to be
transferred.. A site with river frontage
would stllh be mors advisable.
Being an entirely disinterested party,
deem the ideal site to be the Terw li
nger tract in Southern Portland, con
taining about 80 to 100, acres, whera all
the stated advantages may 'be had with
out much, additional expense. The low
land connected . with the tract - is all
cleared anu, the side bills overlooking ths
same being stjll. wooded,: Could- be trans.
formed into a natural park, From thesa
hlHs a grand 'view of our snow-capped
mountains,' river,' city and surroundings
may be had. The pipe, line Of the old
Palatine pumping station is on , the
ground, and could be J, -utilised. The
Southern Paolfto has two lines virtually
bordering ths tract. .One street car line
runs through It, and the other company
outd extend its Una for selfish purposes
no doubt. The most beautiful driveway,
the White House road., would afford fine
agon facilities. A road leading to the
city could, , be consttnicted. witbout great
cost. " . '.
The river itself could be canaled Into
this -tract without much -trouble. ;;Two
nice brooks running through' the tract
in fact, this location would be similar
to ths Paris Exposition of 1878, and also
the Chicago alte of 1892, however, with
the high ground sdjotnlng, mach Wore
beautiful and grand.
Although the site has not been of
fered to the Exposition management. It
would be worth while of serious consid
eration, taking probable all around ex
pense, distance ' (about two miles from
Morrison street) Into' consideration.

BRANCHING OUT.
The American Type Founders Company
has bought, the British Coluici la brazen
of the Toronto Type Foundry Company,
with headqnar'erj at Vancouver.
John S- Plnney. manager of the Amer
ican branches in Portland, Seattle ana
Spokane, went to .Vancouver with W.- A
Lee, the American's accountant, and took
over the BrltlshColumbla business.
The -loos! manaaer at. Vancouver will
ad remove the chief causes for .'the
popular unrest. In this direction he has
ever had the moral support and .encour
ngoment of the Csarlna, than whom no
woman among. all the royalltles of Eu
rope is more esteemed or beloved. f '
But at every step he has had to en
counter the fierce orposltion and all-powerful
influence of the reactionary element
which has succeeded in putting insur
mountable difficulties In the path of
every measure of reform. This phase of
the situation Was strikingly Illustrated
a few weeks ago by the resignation of
General Vannovsky, the Minister ot Ed
ucation, who was appointed to that post
after the murder of M. : Bogollepoft.
During- bis term of office General Van
novsky consistently endeavored to re
drees the legitimate acadaralo grievances
of ths students and to wean them from
revolutionary agitation. But the opposi
tion of the dominant element In govern
mental aafflxs thwarted all his . reform
plans and there was nothing left for, hjm
to do but to resign his post.'. . .
. Meanwhlls - the conditjoh . of , affairs
throughout Russia Is going, from bad to
worse and there Is no predicting' "what
the end will be. " The attitude . of the
workmen toward their employers-Is open;
ly threatening. In striking . contrast to
the subservience of. a few rears ago.' A
curious feature of the agitation Is Its
anti-foreign character, especially as the
movement Is partly of foreign, origin,
The chief part In the arousing of the
workmen to a sense of j their miserable
Situation has been played by hundreds
of well-educated men who have given up
careers In order to live among the people-to
teach' them to read and write and
to assimilate the doctrines of revolution
ary Socialism. A more potent influence,
however, ts the fact jthat most of the
factory hands come Into contact with
foreign workmen and hear ot ths rights
and liberties enjoyed by the workmen
abroad, v'

the Toronto company, i
A very heavy increase In the Vancou
ver stock of type and machinery has
bee ordered ahd the British Columbia
printers are to be given every advantage
provided by the American company's
service and facilities. r
"We were received most cordially by
the printing fraternity and other busi
ness interests in Vancouver," said Man
ager Plnney to The Journal today, "and
our, company feels that a good move has
been made in entering directly into ths
Canadian, field, instead of dealing
through agents.
"Vancouver seems to be improving
right along. We were told of some new
Industries that have located there. Rents
are already advancing moderately, and
all lines of trade and industry seen! tn
be flourishing.
"No, sir; I can not say that our com
pany will locate In other Canadian
cities. Our general manager decides those
things and he seldom tells us ot his
plans. There were looaf conditions apply

R e pu I f b an ; Meeting
Williams 'Makes His Usual Ap
peal to tbe-people. v
With all the effort mads to draw a
crowd, tha West Side rally for the ma
chine ticket at Cordrsy'e theater on Sat
urday night was not the success Its pro-,
lectors anticipated. '
Probably 1000 people, were present, and
the. auditorium and gallery showed many
vacant seftts that would hare 'gladdened
tha hearts of the managers to have been
filled.
Another source of disappointment to
the managers was the, absence of many
prominent Republicans who were to have
Occupied seats on the rostrum and thus
manifest their- interest In the success ot
tha ring ticket. That-bait didn't prove
a howling success.
Ths Oregonlatt published Saturday
morning S long 11st of prominsnt Repub
licans who would bs on ths stags, but a
goodly number of prominent Republicans
in tha published list were eonsplouous by
by their absence. Some of those an
nounced Were on Hand, but only after
repeated pleadings over the 'phone, to
tak a seat on the platform and be re
garded as-Interested (T) In, the success of
the maohlne ticket.
Ths announcement that J.-.H. Shlvely
of ' Washington . would bs one of tne
speakers helped- materially ' to Increase
the slss Of tne crowd. People wanted to
sea what manner of man he was who
came from, the State of Washington to
tain; to ths voters ot Portland about
their municipal and stats affairs and
offer any advlcs ss to existing dlffsrences
between two representative factions 01
the Republican party. But 8hlvely failed'
to materialise. Chairman Jack pulled
him Off t the last moment, realising the
ludlcrousness of having to, secure the as
sistants ot an imported speuoinaer 10
teach Oregonlans how to settle their own
trouble!.
The one attractive feature of the rally
was fhs appearance of Mrs. Walter Reed,
one of Portland's captivating singers,
whose charming voles never falls to
pleasq. '
Judera Williams" was ths principal
speaker at the meeting, and his remarks
were mainly a repetition 01 n ..
said at other meetings, uenerai ow
called upon and made a few re
marks, and Judge Fraser aiso -aiooo up
and gave his testimony. -
Judae Williams stated that tne KepuD-
llcans of Multnomah were depended upon
to elect Banker Furnish Governor of Or
egon. This Is a practical admission of
ths fact that all ths reports of great
outpourings of the people throughout the
state at the Furnish meetings, as report
ed in the Oresonlan. have been untrue
and that outside of Multnomah County
Chamberlain', tha Democratic" candidate
for Governor, will have a majority of the
votes cast,
But how about Multnomah? The ring
managers claimed at first they could
safely depend upon 6000 majority for ths
machine ticket. Afterward these figures
were revised showing a lessened major
ity, and now oomes Jack Matthows,
ohalrman of the ring, 'th Ms la' est
anaylsis of. political 0k1i'.Ims In il i'l
nomah County, and is forced to admit
that if nothing further happens the Re
publican majority In Multnomah County
will b ZOO and that the remaining coun
ties In the state Will give Banker Furnish
a majority, of 1050, or a total of 4660 votes
over the Democratic candidate.
The growing favor with which the Clt
izens ticket is met Is a source of worrl
fteht to Chairman Jack. Things M not
moving as he would like them, and all
the headquarters boosters were lined up
yesterday 'arid Instructed to concentrate
their talk on Williams for Mayor and let
the other part of the ticket Sake care ot
Itself for a few days.
Chairman Jack and his gang are finding
out that beating Bob Inman is a bigger
contract than they anticipated, and that
the Citizens' candidate is growing more
and more popular every day. - Working
people regard Inman as their representa
tive on the Citizens' ticket, and are wild
ly enthusiastic over his candidacy.
ABOUT RAILWAYS.
The recent trip of E. II, Harrlman to
Mexico Will bear fruit. He will order
