REPORTED TREPOFF RESIGNED
Ilia Dismissal Demanded . by Constitu
tional Democrats in View
of Co-operation,
Believed Prince Sviatopolk Mirsky, the
Former Minister to Interior, Will Be
Offered Portfolio in New Cabinet
Society of Engineers Takes Action.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nor. 8. The
prospects are growing brighter for a
working combination between Count
Witte and the conservative faction of
the constitutional democrats anl the
wing of the zemstvosts will be left be
hind in a rapid development of the re
form ideas of tho eongresses.'i The resig

il lit. Witte,. who has been in constant
communication with the members of the,
constitutional democratic party for sev
eral days and who has been informed
that the dismissal of Trepoff is indis
pensable fts a preliminary to any co
operation of that party, teems finally
to have yielded to this condition.
The count is favored by the split
which manifested itself in the meeting
of Prominent St. Petersburg -members
of the -party "this evening. While the
strong faction declared for the hard
and fast union of radicals and social
democrats-until the work of freedom is
completed by the convocation of a eon-;
stitucnt assembly, the majority seemed:
in-liri-d to come to the support of .the
fount, provided sufficient gnarantees
are givin for carrying out the prom
ise contained in the imperial manifesto.
Princp Kviatopolff Mirsky, former
minister of the interior, left Khartoff
today for St.. Petersburg in response
to a summons from Witte. This gave
rise to the gossip, that he had been of
fered a portfolio in the new" cabinet, !

expressed that he will become one of
the- premier's advisors.

complete, amnesty "'for the martyrs who
remain entombed in prisons or living in

t b f gallows still awaits sacrifics."

IS IT A BLUFF ?
OR IS ANOTHER ELECTRIC RAIL
WAY DESTINED TO YOKE SA- '
LEM AND PORLTAND.
Articles of Incorporation Filed by the
Portland-Salem Electric Railway Co.,
Being a Surprise to the Willamette
Valley Railway Company.
There was surprise and speculation
in local railroad building circles yester
day when its became known that anoth
er company had taken preliminary steps
indicating a determination to build an
electric line from Portland to Salem,
the first move in which was the fiiing
of articles of incorporation in the sec
retary of state's office yesterday morn
ing, and the wonder is what it all
means.
The articles filed yesterday are by
W. J. Walsh, L. II. Cordes afid H.
Dunn, whose acknowledgement i tak
en : in Portland, who give the name f
the proposed organization as the Portland-Salem
Electric Railway Company,
with perpetual duration and with a de
clared intention to construct, maintain
and operate a line of single or double
track railway between the cities of
Portland and Salem, the southern termi
nus to lie at such point in Salem as
may le deemed most desirable by the
company and the northern terminuj at
such point in Portland as the company
may deem most desirable, together
with switches, sidings, warehouses, de
pots, hotels, offices, branch lines and
other accessories as shall be deemed
necessary; that said railway may be
operated by either steam, electricity or
other motive power. Proyision is made
al9o for the acquiring of franchises, wa
ter powers and alb kinls of property
necessary for the onduct of the enter1
prise. The principal (offiee will be in
Portland and the capital stock is $100,
000 in shares of flOO each.
It is not known who ire behind this
proposal, the names on: the incorpora
tion papers being entirely obscure. The
Portland directory reveals the name of
Wnu J. Walsh, an electrician with the
M. J. Walsh Company, engaged in the
handling of electric and gas fixtures,
but L. II. Cordes does not appear and
there is no H. Dunn in any capacity
indicating a promoter of gTeat enter
prises. The capital stock provided in
the articles would not go far in par
rying out the objects proclaimed, but
that could be easily increased at any
time and there is a possibility that the
amount is so placed in order to avoid
heavy fees to the state." ,t , ; 'i-
If. the ! movement be genuine it will
be hailed twita pleasure by property
owners down the valley and around
Salem. There is a wide and rich coun
try between here and Portland, making
possible the success "of several lines of
railway, especially with the Impetus to
settlement and production which the
building of such lines will give.; But
should this movement prove to be only
a bluff, instigated by parties tr corpor
ations aiming to harass or block the
Willamette alley Railway Company in
its tangible prejects, then it will not
be welcomed or -countenanced. : - m
i It is expected that 'today or tomorow
will witness the completion and filing
of the articles of the Willamette Val
ley Railway Company, ;with a capital
stock of L&30,00O, backed by men who
are individually able to finance tne en
tire scheme. V .h v r :- .J . . V - '.
It looks as though the day of derel-
opment tor the Willamette , valley is
near at hand.

cinity of the headquarters of the board
of elections. The boxes, had been gath
ered during the Bight by the police and
eonveyed in patrol wagons to the elec
tion board's headquarters. There the
officials refused to receive the boxes
and the police, acting under the order
of the court, had nothing to do but
remain outside and await the pleasure
of the election officials. Apprised of
the situation, Hearst's attorneys ap
peared before Justice Dickey of the
state supreme court and secured an or
der compelling President Voorheis of
the election board to accept the ballots.
The order was. served promptly and the
ballots receipted for by the election
board. Under strong guards, the pa
trol wagons containing the. boxes were
driven to various warehouses in this
city and Brooklyn and stored, subject
to the order's of the election board.
State Attorney General Mayer had
an important conference with District
Attorney Jerome, after which it was
decided the district attorney's office
should remain open till midnight to
night. Superintendent of Elections
Morgan appeared before Mayer and
Jerome with six of his deputies and
placed evidence before the prosecuting
officials.
Issue Subpoenas.
The Citizens' Union today announced
it would join i the forces investigating
the fraud and, wrong-doing in this elec
tion, its prime object being to insure
a new election law ia the state. Mayer
announced tonight his office and Je
rome's would I co-operate in the prose
cution of offenses against election fran
chises. The attorney general received
large bundles, of subpoenas from the
district attorney and immediately put
the election deputies at work serving
them. Charges that several ballot
boxes were stolen before the returns
were reported, and that others were
found unsaled were made during the
day.

New York, Nov. 9. A statement was
issued from Hearst's headquarters to

8000, which he declares should have
been counted for him. It is asserted

beneath the municipal ownership em
blem and in the circle over Jerome's
name. '
Hearst .says these ballots should have
been counted pending a judicial deci
sion as to their validity. He asserts if
these had been counted he would b
elected without a recount of the entire
vote.
Found Boxes in River.
New York, Nov. 9. Attorney Gen
eral Mayer stated tonight that he had
received information of the recovery
in the North river of. . certain ballot
boves used in the election on Tuesday.

Advices from the scene late this a.-
IT'S UP TO-YOU, MR. FARMER
One of the most skillful dentists in the United States is conducting an'
office in Salem for the practice of dentistry., His methods are "up-to-now"
and all work is painless. You have no doubt heard of Dr. B. E. Wright, as
each patient is so well pleased with his work as to give testimonials to all
his friends. It will be to' your advantage to make an appointment with
him, if your teeth are not in perfect condition, as it is a great waste of
money to neglect a tooth which has begun to decay and besides the tooth
will soon be beyond repair, and your health permanently impaired.
Dr. Wright does all work absolutely without pain or any after effects
except perfect workmanship, and all work is guaranteed to be of the highest
class and satisfactory. His prices are very reasonable, only about one-half
as much as is charged by other dentists for an inferior grade of, work.
, Every moment of his time is taken op with work, and with the latest
improved appliances and methods he is able to turn out more work in the
same length of time, hence is not compelled to charge such an exorbitant
price. You don't pay for idle time.
Dr. Wright has an interesting story to tell about his. plan for giving
nway absolutely free two solid gold watches on January 1, to his customers,
one to ladies and one to gentlemen. The watches are valued at $.10 each and
are the finest that can be purchased. Drop into his office and talk it over.
You may be the lucky one. Steusloff building, corner Court and Liberty
streets.
ternoon are to the effect that further
trouble of a much more serious nature
may be expected during the nigbt as
the engineers of botu companies are de
trmined to command the situation by
daylight tomorrow morning.

Crazed Mutineers Secure Arms and
Fire .Promiscuously Upon Troops
. - and Soldiers.
News of Outbreak Causes .Furore of
Excitement in St. Petersburg Many
Buildings Reported Burned Mutiny
Said to Be Crushed,
CROXSTADT, Nov. 9. The heavens
reflected the glare of smouldering fires
as the Associated Press correspondent!
approached Cronstadt tonight. Upon j
ianiing, nowever, inquiry revealed tlie
fact that the troops and loyal sailors
apparently had the upper hand. The
fighting bas ceased in the streets and
the town is quiet, but fears are ex
pressed there will be trouble later on.
Tmight the patrols are engaged in
bunting down and capturing the mu
tineers. The outbreak started yesterday when
the sailors of the seventh fort eqnip-
page revolted and killed some of their
officers. They marched out of the bar
racks and immediately plundered four
spirit shops. Crazed with liquor they
returned and seized arms and went on
a rampage, firing promiscuously upon
the troops and loyal soldiers. Later
they, were joined by many of their
comrades. The firing continued from
midnight till this morning, when the
terror stricken inhabitants began to
flee. -
The lowest estimate placed the dead
at fifty. Several regiments with ma
chine guns from St. Petersburg and
Oranienbaum landed today.
Many Sensational Rumors.
St. Petersburg, Nov. lO.-'-This city
Wis in a furore of excitement all day
yesterday and late into the night over
the news of the mutiny at Cronstadt.
Every one of the exaggerated reports
of the affair was received with credence
in many quarters and half of the in
habitants of the capital believed it had
been successful;, that the troops sent
from here had joined the revolt; that
the entire garrison of St. Petersburg
would follow today, and that Cron
stadt had leen burned to the ground,
together with . the. surrounding forts.
The place was represented as being in
the hands of 8000 sailors, who murdered
their officers, seized the arsenal and
bombarded the , imperial palace at
Peterhof. The butchery was said to
have prevailed in all the streets, and
rnmors even went to the extent of say
ing that. Father John of Cronstadt had
left his bed, on which he is "dying, to
lead the mutineers.
Many sensational reports were en
tirely false, but sufficient details were
received to prove about 3000 sailors
and a battalion of artillery from one
of the forts had indulged in the inn
tiny, which required about T000 Co
sacks and troops of the imperial guard
to pnt down, and that the machine guns
were employed. ; Before the arrival of
the troops, 'the sailors, many of whom
were drunk, had set fire to the markets
and several houses. v
: About 200 sailors were still holding
out - at midnight, and although these
were expected to surrender today, the
authorities became so alarmed that an
other regiment was dispatched to Cron
stadt at 1 o'clock this morning.'
. ? Reports Were Falsa.
The governor at Cronstadt telegraph
ed at midnight that the mutiny had
been . crushed; that there is no likeli
hood of a renewal of the revolt today;
that the report to the effect that mem
bers of the guard had joined the muti
neers was false, and that it is not true
that the mutineers seized the arsenal
and forts. The governor gave no esti
mate of thic casualties.
