PROTEST FROM THE FISHERMEN COMPLAINT TO STATE DEPART MENT AGAINST OOVEBNMENT IS COMMUNICATED TO LONDON Secretary Boot Disclaims All Knowl edge of Violation of Treaty of 1818. Admits Arrival of Minister of Marine and Fisheries at Bay of Islands, but Was on Official Business Nothing to Do With Treaty.; WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. Through Representative Gardner of Massachu setts, the Gloucester fishermen today of ficially labl before the state department their grievance against .the Newfound land government, whieh they charge with forbidding all vessels of Ameri can register to fish In the treaty coast. This right, the fishermen claim, is granted by the treaty ofJ81S between the United Htates and Great Britain.' Through the British ambassador, Sir Mortimer Durand, Secretary ltoot in formed the Newfoundland government 4m disclaims all knowledge of any vio lation of tli 13 treaty. It admits the arrival of the minister of marine ami fisheries at the Hay of Islands on the cruiser Fiona, but insists he was there on dnty not connected with the ques tion. Until Gardner ascertains further de fails of the repnteil action of the New foundland government, Secretary Root will not make further representations to the London government. ALL EXEMPTION ASSESSOR BICE EXPLAINS FIO DxtES ON COUNTY'S 1905 AS SESSMENT BOLL. Reduction in Total Property Valuation Said to Be Due to New Law Names of Owners of Exempt Property Left off the BolL Assessor F. .T. Rice in explaining the figt res of the lW'i assessment roll yes terday stated that the reducation in the total- taxable property values in Marion county was due to the exemp tion law. It appears that in cases wb.-re a man possessed such property only as is exempt from taxation and is not subject t the payment of a poll tax, his name was not placed upon the asaf-ssment roll, and therefore in every such instance the total property valua tion was reduced in amounts ranging up to $3 h). Mr. Rice states that he as; sealed all property xraetieally upon the sane oasis as it was assessed in lt04, and that had it not been for the exemp tion law the total valuation would have been the same. - The fact" that the names of many property owners do not appear upon the assessment roll on account of the ex emption law is also responsible for the ma rked "reduction in the number of horses, mules, cattle, sneep, goats anr swine, as compared with last year.

TO A SHOW-DOWN DIVISION STREET PROPERTY OWN ERS CONDEMN , FLOURING MILLS WATER DITCH. Nineteen Residents Along the Ditch Join in Suit Against Company to Compel It to Fill Ditch and Improve the Street f or TraveL As a culmination of the recent agi tation against the Kaletn. Flouring Mills Company ditch, on Division street, in which a movement was started to con demn the same and procure its abroga tion, a suit was last evening filed in the second department of the circuit court asking that the dltchbe condemn ed and that th company be compelled to fill it and improve the street in first class condition. The plaintiffs in this suit sre Dr. W. S. Mott and eighteen other proerty owners residing along the ditch and they asK that the water way be condemned as a public nuisance and a menace to the health 01 the eommnnity; "that it be filled and the defendant company be required to pay the expense of the proceeding. Several months ago the city council took this matter up by petition from the resident property owners along the line of the ditch for a distance of about seven blocks ami the company was or dered to eliminate the so-called "nuis ance." At that time the water was allowed to run out of the ditch and I the complaint was raised that the stench rising from the stagnant water was nauseating and injurious to the health of the residents of that district. The company-reaired its dam on Mill creek and the ditch has ever since been filled with running water, and proceed ing were stopped by the council. The residents along the ditch were not sat isfied with this disposition of the mat ter, however, and this suit is the out come. The filling of this ditch will doubtless decrease the value of the company's property on Front street, materially and a hard legal fight is an ticipated on the part of the company. L. H. MfMahan isv attorney for " the nineteen plaintiffs. BAD STOBM ON BEHBINQ. SEATTLE, Oct. 14. There was a se vere storm on Behring sea the past four days, according to novices received to day.

A MONARCHY OR A REPUBLIC If the Republican Minority Develops ' Strength Prince Charles May Refuse Throne. Reported that King Oscar of Sweden . Will Decline to Allow Prince of the House of Bernadotte to Accept the Crown of Norway. N; CHRISTIAN! A, Oct.. 16. King Os car's refusal to all the prince of the house of Bernadotte to accept the Nor wegian throne, is expected tomorrow when the 'government will immediately as kthe storthing to authorize the invi tation to Prince Charles of Denmark. It is said 'the reply will be favorable and immediately upon its receipt, the storthing will proceed to his election. The Republicans, who are now said to muster thirty votes, are making des perate efforts to secure a plebiscite. This accomplished a manifesto will be issued against the election of a king and in favor of a republican form of government. It is feared Prince Charles will .lecline the throne if the Republi can: minority is snfliciently large to be worthy of consideration. - In govern ment circles it is declared the question will be settled before the end of the present week. , COAST LEAGUE SCORES.

Two Purchases Reported of the 1904 Crop, but None of This Season's Yield Growers Looking Forward to To morrow's Meeting Foreign Crops. Although there was a considerable amount of skirmishing around the coun- ry by dealers in their efforts to pick :p what loose lots were available, there appears to have been . little doing in the line of buying, at least so far as reports are concerned.. The only saies reported to" have Ix-en made up to last e-eniiig wepe the Edmundson lot, of Independence, consisting of -169 bales. liC4s, to Metzler & fSeavey of Portland, at 9'V cents, and the Whiteaker lot, of Whiteaker, consisting of 136 bales, 1904s, at 10 cents, reported to - have teen purchased by Laehinund Si Co. of this citv. So far as could be ascertained no sales of 1905s were- made vesterdav or sin-e Saturday, and gTowers are said to be holding out more firmly for higher Growers, that is the majority of them n this section of the state at-least, are turning their attention to the big meet- ng scheduled to take place in this city tomorrow and the indications are. that there will be a fair representation of them in attendance. It is impossible to prediet what will be the termination of this meeting, which was originally called fcr the fmrpose of forming a state organization, to be incorporated Ainder the state laws for their protec tion, but, if this plan is not deemed advisable, other ways and means will le taken up for consideration and dis cussed. An article upon this subject may be seen in another column of this issue. , German Hop Crop. Consul rtardel of Baml-erg reports that estimates of the German hop crop appear to be very favorable.
