From the Portland Oresonian.
Astoria, April 3. The verdict of the
coroner's jury at Bay Center, Wash.,
charged George Rose and John Edwards
with the murder of Jeus V. Freuricksin.
who disappeared early in February, and
body was fouud last Wednesday
in a lonely gulch near the scene. Ou
Saturday George Rose offered to lead
the officers to the spot where Mrs.
Frederickson's body w as concealed.
He took them to the rear of a pig pen
on Rose's ranch, where the body was
dag out of a pile of human excrement
and pig manure and taken to Bay Cen
ter. The boy confessed later, but the
only thing which has leaked ont about
this is that he said Jack Edwards and
another man, who is now m Eastern
Washington did the murder. The pris
oners were all removed to the county
jail at Oysterville. George D. Jones
started for Astoria yesterday, but was ar
rested at Sealaud, returned to Oyster
ville and lodged in jail. A printer nam
ed Lowery was arrested at Sealand this
morning, just as he was boarding u tram
to leave.
Mrs. Frederickson had been shot
through thb head with a rifle. John B.
Rose, the father of George, when taken
to see the corpse of Frederickson before
the wife was exhumed, burst into tears
and said he was glad they had found
that body, and hoped they would find
the other one soon, as its discovery
would olear his skirts all the sooner.

A STEEL BRIDGE AT SALEM.
The j50,000 Bonds Voted By a Large Major
ity.
Salem, April 3. At a special city elec
tion to-day, to elect a city treasurer aud
vote on $20,000 bonds to assist in re
building the bridge, a pretty good vote
was cast. The result was; For the
bridge, 578 votes; against, 40. Jbor
treasurer, E. J. Swafford, 557; W. T.
Bell, 59. Swafford was the man who re
signed the office to which he was re-elected
that the city might hold an election
for the purpose of incurring ani ndebted
uess to build the bridge.
This, it may be said, insures the
building of a good bridge aorosa the
Willamette here. The people do not fa
vor a cheap affair, and a steel bridge
will, perhaps, be the result. Bids for
the bridge will be opeued April 11.

AN EFFICIENT OFFICE!).
Pension Commissioner Raniu Makes a Bril
liant Record,
Washington, April 6. In a report to
Secretary Noble, Pension Commissioner
Ranm says he will be able by the last of
May to cause the examination of every
claim pending in his office ou the first I
day of January last. He will have ev
ery claim allowed that is completed aud
the calls for evidence made on those not
completed. This result has been secured
largely by means of orders issued in the
latter part of December, requiring the
examination of claims pending, and all
appenriug completed placed upon the
completed file. The adjudicating divis.
ions were directed to spend five days of
each week in examining claims on these
files, and one day, exclusively, in making
calls for additional evidence in pending
claims. As a result of this examination,
50,857 claims were put ou the completed
files. A subsequent order, directing
that claims be placed on file on applica
tion, accompanied by a statement of the
facts showing that the claims are com
pleted, has, up to date, added 28,350
cases to those already on the completed
files. During the past three months 52,
229 of these cases have been acted upon
leaving only 3978 cases remaining on
the files. Applications at the rate of
450 a day are being received, and here
after every claim placed upon these files
will be taken up and acted upon within
a week. The record last month shows
16,37-1 pension certificates issued, 8583 of
which were original certificates, and be
ing the largest number ever issued ii
one month by the pension bureau.

pay up, and then deed it to my father.
This Gibbons is one of the meanest
men who ever came into the country.
Edwards and my father made it up as
to how they would kill Frederickson
aud wife. After Edwards made up his
mind to take the place for father, he
cut down some trees on the place, but
father found out after Frederickson had
built a shake shanty on the claim that
he had commenced a contest to get the
laud. On Wednesday or Thursday of
the last week iu January, father, Gib
bons and I took a boat and .crossed the
bay to father's ranch, where we found
John Edwards.
We had it all made up as to how we
were to do the killing. Father and Ed
wards went np to Frederickson's bouse
to get him to come down to help hunt
cattle. After he came, father, Gibbons,
Edwards, Frederickson and I went down
to the woods west of the house. Ed
wards went first, father next, then I,
then Frederickson and Gibbons in the
rear.
About half a mile west of the house
Gibbons said: "Look here, Frederiok
sou," aud Frederickson turned, and as
he stood, about four feet away. Gibbons
fired a shotgun, striking Frederickson
iu the face.
We buried Frederickson just where be.
all tbe ! money 1 r'ecTrTcsounu!!!!! i s
pocket and divided it between the three
of them. After we buried the body we
went to father's house. This was in the
forenoon between nine and ten o'clock.
Father and Edwards went to Frederick
son's house aud made some excuse to
bring Mrs Frederickson down to fath-
er's house.
When we got there Edwards, who had
father's rifle, raised it and shot her
through the head. I helped dig the
grave for her. We all worked together,
and put her in face up and filled the
grave up. We scattered loose dirt and
agreed that the rain would fix every
thing. After killing her we all made up
that we should tell the story that we
saw Fredrickson and his wife starting in
a boat for Bruceport and got lost. Ed
wards was to take Fredrickson's boat and
swamp it.
After detailing tbe subsequent move
ments of the assassins, the confession
concludes:
I also wish to say that I voluntarily
offered to go with the sheriff and show
him aud the party searching for the body
just where Mrs. Fredrickson was buried.
I Could not hang off any longer. I
wanted her buried beside her husband.
I couid not stand it. The above is the
truth, and ali the facts concerning the
murder of Jeus and Seni Frederickson.
So help me God. Geoege P. Rose.
At conclusion of the hearing John B.
Rose, George F. Rose, Edward Gibbons
and John Edwards were remanded to
the custody of the sheriff, to await the
action of the grand juy, at the July
term of the district court. There is lit
tle danger of lynching, and other con
fessions are expected which may clear
up some former mysteries in that section
in whicu murder seems to have been
done at the instigation of or by John B.
Rose. .
THE OLD SOUTH STILL LING SltS.
Chauncey Depuy Sees the New South and the
Homhle Convict Camps.
Washington, April i. Chauncey De
pny, who has just returned from the
South, was asked by a local reporter this
evening if he had seen much ot the new
South. He replied:
Some of the new and a good deal of
the old stock. They sincerely think
their property will be wiped out, their
homes broken up aud society destroyed
if the colored men's votes are counted
and they look upon a Northern republi
can as a species of anarchist who will
cheerfully co-operate m such destruc
tion.
One thing more than any other which
has debauched public sentiment in the
South is the convict lab'ir system in cer
tain states. Unless Kennan's stories of
Siberian horrors are absolutely true,
there can be no scenes in a civilized
country so terrible as iu the Southern
convict camps. Sometimes the contract
calls for a certain number ot convicts,
and the state furnishes them. If they
cannot fill the quota, then the most triv
ial offenses are made an excuse for Ions
terms of imprisonment. I have no
doubt many innocent men are Berviug
sentences in Southern convict camps
that a quota might be filled.

SIGNS OF A COMING STORM.
Explosives ' Aboat the Palace The Czar
Frightened The Universities Clos
ed The Students Show
Their Indignation A de
coy Train Wrecked
The Czar Pained
at His Treat
ment. London, April 4. Pacific Postal
Special to Portland Oregonian. The
absolute secrecy observed by the author
ities of St. Petersburg in regard to the
condition of the czar has left the way
clear for a flood of rumors of the most
diversified and, in many cases, the most
improbable character. Not only is se
crecy maintained in the matter of pro
hibiting reports to get abroad, but the
same degree of popular ignorance con
cerning his majesty prevails in St. Pe
tersburg, where people are even forbid
den to indulge in public speculation on
the subject.
It is permitted to be known, however,
that intense excitement exists in the
Russian capitol, and that it is upon the
increase. The closing of the universi
ties has swelled popular discontent by
the realization that such action has
practically ruined the future careers of
thousands of young meu who, by depri
vation of the ensuing years course in
the institution from which they are de-;
barred, will be compelled to devote
themselves to other pursuits, if, indeed,
hair ifyaii leisure does not lead
content on 1faisj 'neogrnt -tiW "wpwMw
among hundreds of thousands who
would otherwise be content to let things
drift in the old way.
As if to divert popular opinion from
state affairs at home, the Novoe Vremya
urges that more attention be paid by
the government to affairs in Afghani
stan and India, and warns the govern
ment to beware of British intrigues in
the former territory, which it believes
are already in progress.
St. Petersburg, April 4. The police
at Gatschina have discovered explosives
on the grounds of the imperial palace.
The imperial family has in consequence
renounced the idea of going there to
spend Lent. The czar has for two days
suffered from a relapse of influenza
hich compelled him to postpone au
diences. His condition is not serious.
London, April ,4. Advices from St.
Petersburg reaffirm the reports of the
serious condition of affairs in Russia.
The czar is suffering from nervous fe
ver.
The scheme for the Russification of
Finland is received with extreme disfa
vor in that country. Trouble is certain
lo foilow.
All the universities in Russia are
closed by the government. Students ol
the St. Petersburg university attacked
General Grosser, chief of the St. Peters
burg police. He was thrown to the
floor and kicked by his assailants. The
students declare that the agitation is
solely on account of educational mat
ters. In proof of this they assembled
aud sang "God Preserve the Czar." The
czar is greatly incensed because ot the
disturbance, and has signified his in
tention of closing all higher educational
establishments for the year. It is fear
ed, however, that a year's idleness will
hasten the growth of dissatisfaction.
St. Petersburg, April 4. The czar
has abandoned the proposed hunting
trip in Poland on account of a plot to
throw the imperial train off the track.
A decoy train, supposed to contain the
czar and suite, was wrecked by rooks
placed on the rails.
The peasants of the government of
Kiazan, incensed by the continued flog
ging to which they have been indiscrimi
nately subjected by District Chief Nord-
vinoff, have retaliated by attacking that
official and administering a severe whip
ping with his own instrument of torture.
The police essayed to rescue Nordvinoff
and were stoned for their pains and driv
en from the scene. The czar was deeply,
pained when he received news of tbe
summary treatment of his representa
tive. '
Among the students arrested on a
charge of political revolt are Prince
Viomsky and a son ot M. Nabokoff. for
merly minister of Justice.

WOOLGROWER3 LIKE THE STAR1FF BILL.
It Grows in Favor Approved by the Repub
licans Opposed by the Democrats.
Washington, April 3. Branch ot
Portland Oregonian Office. The pres
ident and secretary of the Nationa
Wool Growers' Association have issued
a circular addressed to the wool growers
of the United States opon the McKinley
tariff bill. After quoting the wool sched
ules adopted by the majority they assert
that the time has arrived when they
should call assistance from every wool
grower in the country and all those in
terested in protection. In the circular
they say:
The wisdom, justioe and patience dis
played by the republican members of the
committee in discharging their delicate
and difficult duties challenge the appro
bation of the American people. The bill
esrtlblishes a comprehensive-economic
system, embracing all our industries,
and especially those belonging to agri
culture and the farm. If passed it will
revive business, give employment to la
borers and restore prosperity, and thus
silence the cry for free trade and free
raw material, except as it may come from
foreigners and their coadjutors, who de
sire to control our markets and thus
prosper by the misfortunes oT our peo
ple. They ask that immediate and energet
ic efforts be made by all to secure the
passage of the bill, and suggest the
members of congress be requested by
telegrams, letters and petitions to urge "
the passage of the McKinley bill.
BLAINE'S RECIPROCITY TARIFF.
l o Open the Central and Sonth
Ports to Oni Bxpwre
a great deal of runior in connection with
the tariff schedule and Secretary Blaine's
endeavor to establish reciprocity with
South aud Central American countries.
The secretary submitted to the majority
members of the ways and means com
mittee a proposition relative to South
American imports, which is as follows:
"The president shall by proclamation
declare all parts of the United States
free to all products of any independent
nation on the American hemisphere up
on which export duties are now levied,
so long as such nations admit free of all
duties, breadstuff's, provisions, preserved
meats, fish, vegetables, frnits, and in
fact all articles of food, lumber, refined
petroleum, and such other products pe
culiar to the United States as may be
agreed uoon, provided, however, that
this concession shall apply only to mer
chandise transported in vessels of the
United States, or of the other countries
entering into this agreement."
This may not be the exact language of
the proposition, but it contains all the
material facts, and the ways and means
committee are now considering it. It
means free carpet wool, free sugars and
free bides from the countries on the
American continent. Some facts of
Sonth American commerce are submit
ted with the proposition. The South
American countries export say 840,000,-
000 in sugar and import 3500,000,000 in
goods, only about 10 per cent, of which
is purchased in this country. There is
no produce or breadstuff's raised in those
countries. Wheat bread being a luxury,
a barrel of flour worth $5 in New York
is, by reason of transportation and a du
ty of $5 worth 815 in Rio Janeiro.
Hams and bacon are 50 cents per pound.
Cod fish and other American fish are a
luxury owing to tha duty. Petrolium
is worth 25 cents a gallon in Philadel
phia aud is 30 cents a quart in South
America. In Chili gas cannot be profit
ably made, hence there would be a mar
ket for United States oil. As to lumber,
common pine, hemlock and spruce is
worth 10 cents a foot, and is more ex
pensive than corrugated iron for build
ing purposes.
Tbe concession which th United
States would have to make would be the
admittance free of duty from these
countries of wool, hides and sugar. The
sugar industry in these countries is car
ried on by free labor and has not been
able to compete with the slave labor of
Cuba. The wool raised is entirely of
.ua ouaioci KiaueB, suitaoie only for
carpets, and the proposition is that it
can only be taken out of the custom
honses by carpet manufacturers. The
hides are mostly of the coarser grades
suitable for shoes. It is claimed that
the products of South America are of
such a character that they will not in
terfere with the products of the United
States, and even in sugar cannot more
than compete with dutiable sugar from
slave countries.
