resolution was adopted:
"1, All KuHslun citizens must obey
tho. order of the provisional govern
ment which Is the lcgltimuto organ of
Itusslan social democracy.
. "2. The Finnish democracy made
a mistake In proclaiming autonomy
without a plenipotentiary agreement
with the Kussian domocracy,
" "3. The only solution of the situ
ation is a mixed committee, consisting
of nn equal number of representatives
of tho democracies of Russia and Flu
lnnd for a settlement of tho conflict.''

signed Wednesday as Under-Secretary

reason for his action, told tho .Matin
that in view of his close friendship for
Admiral Lafazn, he thought it was
his duly to follow him In retirement,
lie also declared that as the Ameri

general control of the blockade, there
was not much left for liliu to do.

0.&C.LAND GRANT
TO
(Washington corresiwndenee of the
Portland Journal.)
An adjustment of the Oregon &
California land grant account with
the, railroad company to determine
just how much the railroad is en
tilled to receive, will he one of the
tasks of S. W. Williams, secial as
sistant attorney general, who is soon
to establish nn office in Portland,
Ore.
This adjustment will have to be
worked out by a suit in the federal
court. Direct authority for this suit
was jriven in the Chamberlain-Ferris,
act, which directed the attorney gen
eral to bring1 necessary actions "to
have determined the amount of mon
eys which have been received by the
railroad company or its- predecessor
from or on account of any of said
granted lands, whether sold or un
sold, patented or unpatented, and
which should be charged against it
ns n part of the full value secured
fo the grantees."
AH Profits to lie Listed.
The net further directs the court
to take into consideration all roceipb
by the railroad from sales of land or
timber, forfeited contracts, rent,
timber depredations, interest on con
tracts, or from any other source, and
also the value of timber taken from
the lands' and used by the railroad
itself. The taxes paid by the United
States, "which should in law have
been paid by the railroad company,'
are also to be taken into account.
The railroad company is to receive
nncier tne oecision ot tne supreme
court $2.fi0 an acre for each acre of
unsold lands. Before that payment
is made, the exact acreage must be
legally settled, and deductions must
be made for all that the railroad has
received in excess of $2.50 an aerc
on land already sold, ns well as the
taxes and other sources 'of income
from the lunds. This calls for an
overhauling of the books of the rail
road nnd a .ludtciul finding as to
how much is due.
Railroad to Get $1,500,000.
In a general ' way the account
shows a total, of 3,200,000 . acres
granted to the railroad, which, at
$2.50 an acre, amounts to $8,000,000
as the "full value" mentioned by the
supreme. court. The. railroad ap
pears lo have received from the
lands a totul of . over $.",50tl,000,
leaving a tittle under $2,500,000 yet
to be paid. Over $1,000,000 more
will be dropped from that by pay
inent of the back taxes.
The suit to decide what shall be
paid to the railroad will not interfere
with the disposition of the lands. The
railrond is to be paid from the pro
ceeds of the sales of the lands, none
of which can be disposed of for less
than $2.50 nn acre, and the money
received from sales of land nnd tiin
ber will go into a special fund to be
disbursed as provided for in the law.
Minor Points at Issue,
There will be a number of other
questions arising concerning the bind
grant which unrepresentative of the
attorney general can best handle bv
being ou the ground nnd devoting his
time to such matters ns they nrise.
lie will thus become a clearing house
between Washington nnd Oregon on
legal questions conneclcd with the
lands.
Originally fr. Willinnm expected
to leave for Portland nbont the mid
dle of August. Because of some
other changes in the department, J he
exact date of his departure is uncer
tain, nnd may be delayed for a few
weeks.
Senator Chamberlain has n letter
from Clay Tallman, commissioner of
the general land office, dealing with
some suggestions recently made by
I.. S. Shipley, a resident of Koseburg,
Or.
Oregon Wants Preference.
Mr. Shipley urged that Oregon
people should luivo first chance at
the binds when they are oiened, nnd
proposed that 10, 20 or III) days be
owed for citizens of the stale to
pick out and settle upon hinds in ad
vance of the opening.
Mr. Tallmnn culls attention to a
statement issued, by 'the department
some time ago, warning that no pref
erence rights can Ik acquired by
nnvoi.f in connection with Ihe lands,
and uniiouncing that public notice
will be given in advance of any iqven
iug so that any persons so desiring
may examine lands proposed to be
opened, all to he treated alike.
The Shipley proposition, says the
commissioner, woiild not lie consist
ent with this nnnounced )xdicy, as
the purpose of the department is not
to allow prcferenso rights to any
one. Information Soon l!cdy.

(Delayed.). The allied troops along
the new battle front today were lead
ing a seml-aquatlc existence. The
rain, which began to fall late Tuesday
continued in a steady downpour. Had
the allies delayed the'r attack one
day more. It la doubtful whether they
would have been able to achieve all
the objectives which they wrested
from the forces of Crown Prince Rup
precht, just before the rain began.
The spirit of the troops, however,
continues good, and they now are in
strong points along the new front,
front which it will be difficult to dis
lodge them.
An Interesting fact has been learn
ed, that at least a part of the German
Infantry now Is wearing steel armor
on the chest and Btomach. This armor
is in the form of a sheet of steel,
which is attached to the shoulders
and the gives the wearer the appear
ance of having Just stepped out of the
middle ages.
Specimens of the armor found on
German prisoners have been examined
and found to be vulnerable to rifle
fire. On the whole the armor seems
a very unsatisfactory protection arid
its weight renders the movements of a
man fully accoutred most difficult.
LONDON, Aug. , .4. Louis Kin

American embassy at Constantinople,
writes tbu Times suporting the
story of the German conference July

at which Ilerr Waiigeiilicim liiiuscl

Austrian archduke's murder was to
be the pretext and the plan was to
present an ultimatum to Serbia,
which she could not accept, nnd from
which war would ensue in forty-eight
hours.
opened for settlement. About 800
000 acres were classified during the
last season, a.id it is believed the re
mainder can be classified this veur.
While the subject of payment of
penalties and interest on the tnxes is
still being considered in the depart
mentsv the prospect is growing thnt
congress may ultimately order pay
ment of penalties and interest by the
government up to June 0. 1011!, if it
becomes apparent that this will clear
away the difficulties.

let her take the boy back with her.
He told her he could not consent. She
Insisted, but her former husband was
firm In his refusal.
"One Tiling to Do."
"Then there Is but one thing to do,"
Mrs. DeSaulIes cried.
Before she could be restrained, she
drew a revolver from her handbag
