r-ALL-'Msmb PRESIDENT ASSSEUSSIA. . JAPAN TO END WAS. AND UE0E3 DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS. Roosevelt Addresses Detter, to Govern ments of St. Petersburg and Tokio. Proposes - that Two Monarch Appoint ' Plenipotentiaries ' Who Shall Meet .and Arrange Terms of Honorable Peace Offers Bis Kind Ofiees. : v 4 WASHINGTON, Jnne 9. The White I. House tonight gave out a statement L containing the dispatch sent by the president to the- Japanese and Russian governments urging them, not only for their own. sakes, .but in the interest of the whole civilized world,, to open ne gotiations for peace with one another. The following is the text of the dis " -rtateh given oat: - On Jnne 8 the following dispatch was sent by the president through the diplomatic channels of the Japanese and Bosnian governments: "The pres ident feels that the time has come when, in the interest of all mankind, be most, endeavor to see if it is pos sible to bring an end to the terrible and lamentable conflict now being .waged. With both Bussia and Japan, the United States has inherited ties " -oL friendship and good will. It hopes for the prosperity and welfare of each & and it feels that the progress of the world is set back by the war between these two great nations. The presi dent accordingly urges the Russian and Japanese governments, not only for their own sakes, but in the interest of the whole civilized world, to open i direct negotiations for peace with one 3 another. The president suggests that peace negotiations be conducted di rectly and exclusively between the bel ligerents, in other words, that there - may be a meeting of the Russian and ' Japanese plenipptentiaries or delegates without any intermediary, in order to see if it is not possible for these rep- resentatives of the two powers to agree . as to the terms of peace. The presi dent earnestly asks that the Russian and Japanese governments do now agree to such a meeting and is ask ing the Japanese and Russian govern ments to agree likewise. While the president does not feel that any inter mediary should bo called with respect to the peace negotiations themselves, he is entirely willing to do what he properly can, if the powers concerned feel that his services will bo or. effect in arranging the preliminaries as to the time and place of the meeting. Hut 'if even- these preliminaries can bo ar . ranged directly between the two pow ers, or in any other way, the president will be glad, as bis sole purpose is to bring about a meeting which the whole civilized world will pray may result in peace." The foregoing 'note was forwarded to the Russian and Japanese govern ments yesterday. It is rendered es pecially significant by the fact that it ,;was prepared and sent only after as A War Map Free .

' PARIS, June 11. Prince Radolin, the German ambassador to France, met Premier Bouvier yesterday, with a view to conducting the Moroccan cri sis into more concilia torv channels. The discussion was not entirely of an official character. and was continued in an agreeable spirit when the premier and the ambassador met again at a re ception at the Austrian embassy last night. The government's decision, un der the German note with reference to a conference with the powers, will be reserved until France has had an op portunity to canvass the eentiment of the other capital. (Meantime Premier Bouvier is seeking a direct adjustment with Germany, without recourse to a conference of the powers, but the offi cial recognize the extreme difficulties of the task, as the French and German theories regarding Morocco are at com idete variance.

GOODE LISTENS 1 PATTENTLT TO 8AME OLD STORY DAT IN AND DAY OUT AT FAIR. Delivers From One to Four Talks Daily and Now Sitting Up Nights in Quest of Originality Week at Fair Was Wet and Few People Out. PORTLAND, June 10. (Special 'orresfKnlence of The Statesman.)

Even they sneaked home by nightfall,, so probably a first-class, graveyard by moonlight was cheerfulness itself compared to the fair grounds in the , evenings, with its lights snd music ana solitude. r.ven the Tfsil,. where one naturally looked for gaiety, wore a deserted, forlorn ap pearance. In fact, the ; Trail was the saddest place on the grounds, by con trast, of what should have been and whst was. This was true of every evening this week, with one or two exceptions. I We are hoping for better things next week when our Salem visitors arrive If it isn't impolite to say it," we've been wondering what the Salem delega tion is going to give Sway. So far every town or county or society that has had a "day" at the fair has thrust souvenirs of some kind upon us and we, who - were brave enough ana ventured out in spite of the rain, have -eturned laden with spoils. Some times it has been flowers, sometimes fruit, s metimes picture cards and sometimes e en important little placards saying. Vatch Tacoma Grow," and similsr mi takes.

Not only has he had to deliver his addresses, but he has had. to listen to from one . to twenty speeches a day in reply,, all written and delivered with the sole and commendable purpose of pointing out to Mr. Uoode and the community what the .Lewis and Clark exposition typifies. ! One and all, from the : vice president down, have carefully and painstakingly followed the footsteps' of tee explorers across the continent Bever failing to pay tribute to their In dian woman guide, and to see in' their journey an opportunity " for brilliant flights of orstory in which they paid glowing tribute to the west, and fin ished mightily pleased with themselves and their originality. ' One and all, they have , said the same thing ' ' Westward the star of empire takes its course,'' has oeen their inspiration, i and, boiled down, that well worn motto about says all that y they have - said. They have told us of the trials and tribulations of our pioneers, described the country as they found it, compared it to what we have today, praised Captains Lewis and Clark, praised the west and westerners and western pro ducts, praised the exposition and the exposition officials and the eity - of Portland and finished with a superb effort in predicting 'what glorious things are yet to be ours. It was rather ; nice at first, .for we all like praise, but after we had heard a dozen or so we wearied, and now, leave it to President Goode to listen to. And we"re wondering how long be will stand it.- " " Doubtless all our readers have read a lengthy description of the fair, and the buildings, so we will only say in dosing that all agree in saying that onr little fair has by far the most beautiful situation of all the fairs big or little ever held, and for that alone it is worth a trip to see. And it's well worth seeing inside and out when the sun shines. Your prayers that tt may shine next Wednesday. J m. n. THREE DROWNED AUTOMOBILE DASHES INTO OPEN DBA W, CAKBYTNCr OCCUPANTS INTO BXVEB, Was Raring . Another Car And Buna Into Bush Street Bridge At Such High Speed It I Lnpossible to Stop When Danger Is Seen. CHICAGO, "June . 10. Three people were drowned, and two others narrow ly escaped a like fate tonight, when an automobile, in which' five were riding plunged into the open draw of the Rush street bridge crossing the Chica go river. Those drowned were Jerome G. Kurtzman, Chicago manager of the Liquozone Co.;. Mrs. Kurtzman and W. U. Hartley, manager for a local auto mobile establishment. The rescued were : W. H. Hoops, Jr., local manager for an automobile company, and Mrs. Jeremiah Bunyon, of New York eity. Both were uneonecious for a half hour after being taken from the water, but are expected to reeover. The accident occurred at the north end of the bridge, where there is an upward slope, 200 feet before-the end of the bridge or the end of the draw is reached. The occupants of the auto mobile which dashed into the river were coming south on Bush street close behind another machine, the chauffeur of which, seeing the drsw .open, slack ened his speed and coming to a stop about fifty feet from the edge of the draw, when Hoops, who was driving the rear machine, (thinking to pass ahead, pulled to one side and, putting on extra power, snot toward tne open draw at the rate of twenty miles an hour. When close upon the open draw he realized the danger, and, throwing all his weight upon the steering wheel attempted to turn the machine to the left and, by running along the edge of the draw, to make a antes: torn ana regain the roadway. -The machine was too close to the draw to permit oi tnis, however. The machine turned slightly ami fnr fraction of a second hung on the brink. The tire of the front wheel was ripped off, the hub broke, and the machine, after sliding along the edge a few feet, dropped into the river thirty feet below. As it supped along the edflre of the draw, the women in the automobile screamed in fear, and all . J . . A A tne occupants rose io ineir ieei, mit had no time in which to make another move before being thrown into the river, and after them plunged the heavv machine. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Kurtzman rose to the surface; and it is thought they were pinned beneath the machine. Up to a late hour the bodies of the three drowned persons had not been recov ered. It is blieved that the eurrent carried them further down the stream. Cloudy and warmer. The automobile line between Salem and Independence has all it can do. If the business keeps up two raacbines will soon be needed on the run. The committee wants half a ton of nice eating cherries to tske to the Lewis and. Clark ?fair on Salem Day. If you have any take them to II. 8. Gile Si Co. by noon today. If you can donate them do so. If. you cannot af ford to do this you will be paid for them. John Fechter, Jr has returned from Niagara Falls, where he attended the annual meeting of the Y. M. C. A. sociations of the United States and of the world. Mr. Fechter says the meet lag just held marked an epoch in- the history of these sessions, ; ss all the principal addresses were made by men on the outside who had been invited to point out the faults and weaknesses of the association work. The " delegates indulged only in discussions of the dif ferent leading addresses. In this way the delegates found out what the out side public thinks of the Y. M. C. A- and some very valuable information was thus imparted, which in many cases will be aeted upon for the gcol of the local branches aad the general work. Fred B. Smith, the internation al secretary having especial charge of the evangelistic work, who la known in Salem, -was present, having just re turned from a trip around the world, wing greeted by great throngs ia Eng land. Australia, India- and elsewhere. Mr. Smith said he was glad to get back to America, the home of the free and the eountry on the progressive. But after expressing his gratitude very strongly and ia, the most complimen tary manner, tending to make the Americans proud of their eountry, be said that he was struck by one thing, and that was the fact that the jTmeri eais arc the foulest mouthed pec pie ia all the world. That is, there it more swearing aad vulgarity among the men of America than elsewhere, on the round earth. . Mr. Smith declared that he scarcely heard an oath in his foreign travels, ' bo t as soon as he ar rived ia . San Franelseo the air was full of oaths, on the wharves, ia the i streets, around the hotels, at the res- j taurants everyhere. IT T7ILL FIGHT IF NECESSARY NOBWAY DOES NOT TEES "WAjl WITH SWEDBN. SAYS XT WILL NOT RECEDE Norwegians Declare. They Hart Been Whipped and That They Never Will Be. No However, Tney Are Not Shaking Bed f Flag In lace of Bull . and "Would Bather Not Insult Aged Xing Oscar for Whom luey Hare Great Bespect CUBISTTANA, June 10.A remark able calm, accompanied by a stern de termination, pervades Norway. Be yond the display of the Norwegian flag from the buildings in Christiana and the port raits, of the provisional govern ors in tae shop windowsfwhich attract great crowds, there are no visible signs here that Norway is in the throes of a revolution. Norwegian and Swedish merchants continue business uninter ruptedly. - While determination is evident ev erywhere, intense anxiety is apparent and the members of the cabinet are extremely busy in organizing a new government and providing eventuali ties. .The lack of demonstration is de liberate and is intended to alleviate the harshness of the act of separation and to avoid a show of offense toward King Oscar or the Swedes, but every Norwegian is apparently ready to an swer a call to arms should the situa tion warrant it. 'A member of the cabinet said tooay that the Norwegians will never recede trom their present at titude. It was not expected that Swe den would declare war, but In that event Norway will be' prepared.) While the Swedish army and navy, he contin ued, is larger than the Norwegian, army and navy, there is no reason for fear. The Norwegians have never been con quered and never will be. FEATS OP FAMOUS HORSEMEN. It appears that the Cossacks have done more than the artillery to keep op the reputation of the Bussian army as to its power of endurance under adverse circumstsnces. The Cossack is really to the eastern world what Cus ter's men,' Morgan's, Kilpatrick's and Roosevelt's have been to the western armies the men who could sit the saddle, saber and shoot, starve and swim, be all or nothing for the glory of quick action in time of trouble. As to proof of this here is the story of Dmetreo Pjesbkoff, a Siberian Cossack, who rode from Blagovejechensk, east ern Siberia, to Ht.' Petersburg. He surpassed Burnaby, who rode to Khiva, and Asayeff, who made the hard ride from Lubeen, Poland, to Paris. Blagovejechensk is a Cossaek station on the Amur, in latitude 50 degrees north, longitude 127 degrees, east, and the distance to be covered to the Bus sian capital 8,000 versfs, or 5,400 Eng lish miles. In 113 dsys out from his starting point Pjeshkoff was at Omsk, having accomplished 4,900 versts or nearly 3,300 miles, of his journey. In 171 days he wss in St. Petersburg, having made as average of thirty miles a day, in the saddle,-from the start. An average of this character requires remarkable physical and nerve en durance. It also requires fine judg ment as to forage for beasts and sus tenance "for the rider calculations as to weather, temperature changes, wat er supply and kindred things that go in with a steady and a long ride. The hero of this remarkable feat, a man of some education, was command er of a hundred in one of the Cossack regiments, stationed on the Amur, and had to obtain leave of absence to, show what he could do on a long-distance ride with a horse. But the feat be came more remarkable because the Cossack made his journey with one horse the same horse he started with ending the journey. The horse, like its rider, wss of the ordinary Cossaek breed. It was foaled in Siberia; and was purchased for 150 rubles, or about $60 in our money. It was thirteen years old, snd or a light gray color. In height and weight it corresponded with a fair-sized American "cayuse" of the western plains. It had the "cayuse" capacity for , short feeds and minimum water supply. The animal was fed only on oats and hay. . It carried, in cluding its" rider, saddle, blankets and harness, a total of about 172 pounds. The appetite of the beast increased with the distsnce traveled. At the start it required eight pounds of oats aad fourteen pounds of hay a day to keep it up, and for water it took the snow along the road, as well or spring water was not obtainable. When two thirds of the journey was completed the horse was eating thirty pounds of oats and -fourteen pounds of hay each day. An English or an American. norse, aside from the plains' breed of the latter country, would have sur rendered- quickly. The western Amer ican horse has made some wonderful long-distance journeys in quick time. During Custer's campaign, of 1870. which ended ia the massacre on the Rosebud, some of the scouts for the army covered 180 to 280 miles in forty-eight hours on three feeds an three enanees to , water for their horses. In Grierson's wild ride dur ing the Civil wsr to cut the confed erate lines, the ride which eventually gave birth to Sherman's march to the sea, one Chicago cavalryman was in the saddle for 170 miles aad that wunoui aiamoonung. lie lives now as -a mail carrier for the postoffice. One November day ia the Goose riv er eountryof Dakota a cowboy named Iverson was called to a ranch house snd told a doctor must be secured for his employer's daughter, who had been taken suddenly ill with croup. The nearest doctor wss thirty-eight miles away, the temperature wss, 18 degrees below, the wind was scurrying the snow of the prairies ia every direction. , On the trail there were only two stopping l. U 1 . 1 i . " , . iicib nvran nueni oe secured. Iverson made the round trip in i en noura, nuuing iwo Dorses, anI during the last five miles homeward bound carrying the doctor on his own weary beast. The child's life was saved by his promptness. I Ia the last Custer campaign in ,Vir ginia, just before the surrender of Lee, a courier of the union forces carrying information as to where Custer might earliest strike the confederate wagon supplies "made a complete circuit of Lee's army and reached his superior officer ia time to have the information prove of value. With two horses be rode 165 miles in eleven hours. This is a fair average to place against the Cossack's journey from the Orient to St. Petersburg. It is said in French dispatches thst the courier, who car ried from Port Arthur the final news of coming surrender to General Kuro patkin at Mukden walked, crept, swam and rode in the saddle 350 miles in sixty hoars. This is -not impossible. When it comes to riding almost every thing depends upon the horse; a little on the man, li ne do a man. Method la It. ' Financier I have never failed to sneeeed. Friend Geet I thought that's what you always failed fori NO SUCH OFFICE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAN FIND NO LAW WHICH CREATES STATE LAND AGENT. Says Governor Dj State Land Agent In " Fact, And That Latter Official, So Called, Dj Merely An Agent of the Land Commissioner, to Assist Him. Attorney General Crawford rendered an opinion yesterday morning, in which be decides the question raised by Commissioner General Richards, of the ueenral Land Office holding that the governor is the State Land Com missioner, and that he alone is quali fied and authorized to approve and af- land selection lists. The attorney gen eral also takes occasion to go a little deeper into the laws governing the of fice of state land agent, whicn nave been raised rd often but hitherto un settled, in which he holds that he Can find no act upon ihe statutes which cre ates the office of state land agent ex cept by mere mention, and that there is no such official unless it be the gov ernor himself, snd that the so-called state land agent is merely an' author ized agent of the land commissioner to assist him with his duties. The question raised by the commis sioner of the general land office was whether the governor was still land commissioner of the state, or whether that title was not transferred to the state land agent by virtue of the act of the legislature of 1903, which em powers and authorizes him to make the indemnity school land selections. If the' attorney geenral bad held in ac cordance with the views of the com missioner of the genersl land office, it would serve to invalidate a great num ber of lieu land selections at present pending before the department at Washington, aggregating a total of over 12,000 acres of indemnity school land selections, and the lists would have to be returned here for revision and correction. As it now stands, no corrections will have to be made, and the Washington land, department will be so notified. '' ' . As to the question of the existence of the office of the state land agent, this has been up fpr discussion, upon numerous occasions,, but it has never been raised directly in snv esse in such a way that the courts felt impelled to decide 'it. The sttorney general holds that there is no law in existence which creates this office, the only one making sny mention of it being thst which de scribes the duties , of that ' official, apd he concludes that the duties described devolve uponT the governor as land eommissioner,snd that the so-cslled state land agent is merely appointed sn agent of the governor to assist him in the performance, of his duties.

Ac. cording to a high authority the Danish royal family has also set its stamp of disapproval on the acceptance of the throne by a Danish prince. It is un derstood that arrangements are actual ly being made for a national conven tion and this will inevitably result in a declaration for a republic.
