This Dreaded Epidemic to Ee Avoided Anti-toxin Is a Great Pre ventative. It is reKrted that the county set of Yamhill county i suffering from an epidemic of diphtheria, which is one of the Worst forms of disease that can maki? it appearance at the oening of winter. A dispatch of yesterday says that ten deaths have occurred there within a few days, and the board of be-ilth seeirs unable to check the ex tension of thej disease. The public schools are eloped and there is consid erable al.irrn. ilf ii al.- said that the disease is prevalent; at Sheridan and in other localities in the western foothills. This brings it as close to Salem as it is pleasant to hear of it coming, and all persons should be as cautiojs as pos sible a.bout getting exposed to it. The diser.se spreads by the circulation of yerms, which may be carried by dogs an.l cats or in the clothing of persona visiting atjhouses where it exists. Diphtheria does not inspire such drea-i in physicians handling it since the discovery of anti-toxin, which is now us.d successfully in preventing its de velopment in thos who have been ex-pn-ed and in curing those in whom 'the the disease has appeared, if applied at an early stage. A prominent physician iff Salem told The Statesman last even-, tug that the results of the use of anti toxin as reported by medical author ities is wonderful. In the slums of Chi cago, where diphtheria formerly wrought such havoc, there is now les than 3 per cent of "deaths from that disease, and it is expected to reduce this to 1 jkt cent. Care to avoid ex post? re, care to avoid taking severe 'colds and thus bringing 01 I conditions that are favorable for contracting the disease, and care to at once seek a physician if there has been an unavoidable or urexpected' exposure or should the disease show itself these Are the only advices to be given relative to the unwelcome visitor.

The of ficial dispatches announcing the crush ing of the mutiny at Sebastopol have Taised a. great load from the heart of Count Witte and his associates. Yes terday the cabinet considered even a greater problem, the general strike of the telegraphers, which completely paralyze! int-.-rior communication of" the empire and which if continued will mean nothing else than the indus trial Jeath of Russia. Rumors are thick tonight that Witte ha decided to sacrifice M. Durnovo, the acting- minister of the interior, whose action : in discharging the lead ers of the employes brought on the strike. It is believed, however, that Durnovo will be given a final oppor tunity to rectify his error. The situa tion at St... Petersburg was extremely tense yester lay. In the absence of definite 'nformi: tion from 8ebnsto)Kl the wildest ru mors were in ciculation. The revolu tionists, eagerly seized the opportunity to spread reports that the mutineers were completely victorious among the sol liers and stilors here. When the gov ernment recognized that a tactical mistake had been made in holding up the news of the victory at Sebastopol it was too late to undo the harm. Artillery Opened Fire. RT.

Emreror's Guard Loyal. St. Petersburg, Nov. 30. The most alarming indication of the spread of dissatisfaction in the army was given in the arrest today at Tsarkoe-Selo of a number of soldiers belonging to the yellow euirrasi-ems, hozzars and life juards for presenting petitions includ ing one against the nse of troops for police purposes. Regiments have been selected by TrepofT to guard the em peror and his family and are counted loyal even to a willingness to be torn to pieces in defense of his 'majesty. Acid Did the Work. St. Petersburg, Nov. 30. Communi cation with the outside world-ceased .this afternoon whpn a strike was call ed at the general telegraph office. By a ruse, however, the management suc ceeded in reopening the cable shortly after 6 o'clock.

IN FANCY ATTIRE THE MTNI3TER OF COMMERCE FOR ABYSSINIA CALLS ON PRESI DENT ROOSEVELT. Brought Presents and Extended Olad Hand to the "King" of This Coun- - try-j-Our Exports to France Assum ing Large Proportions, 'WASHINGTON. Nov. 30 I'oliti fians who are Cling into Washington, and calling upon the presideut in great numbers, were surprised and delignted one day last week to meet there a man of gigantic, physique, a coal-black face with Arayan features, and a costume which outshone Solomon in all his glory. This man was El Iladjie Abdal lah Ilasha,- minister of commerce for Abyssinia, whof-ealled to lay a letter from Emperor Menelik and some rare gifts also from him, before the presi dent whom "he insistently called King Roosevelt. He was in tall court uni form when he paid his respects to the president and there' was a mild stam pede of politicians in the outer cham Iht. who forgot the Panama canal, rate legislation, the, tatriff and everything else, in their wonder and admiration nt the brilliant spectacle. Jlis uniform wis of dark blue, but th cloth merely formed a background or foundation for the masses of gold embroidery over it. lie wore a fez or Turkish cap. and a rurving simitar in a golden scabbard at his side. When he lauded in Wash ington he wore a suit of w-dl-fitted American clothes consisting of a frock co.at, trousers and vest, with the pic turesque f-z as the only Oriental fea ture of the costume, so all of the bril liancy of his attire was attributabla to a desire to awe me president. El Iladjie Abdallah Basha brought .the president as gifts from King Menplk three elephant tusks, one being a " gi gantic variety nine feet tall and of rare quality and great val.ie. These tusks in Abyssinia are worth thousands of dollars. His" visit here is for the purpose of establishing -loser and bt tr commeriial relations lietween Abys sinia and America. lie has paid simi :;ir visits -tox several European coun tih but likes America better because he can see no reason -or motive for our country encroaching upon the territory of lug own. So yir our imports from Abyssinia consist chiefly of preserved fruits, embroideries and metal ware and Oriental trinkets, while tbey look to rs for a far more substantial line. of trade, though 'our export of cotton and other products is exceedingly small. Speaking of exports. Pthe United States is cutting no inconsiderable fig ure in French markets. Ia the past year our exports rose to $75,t559,8GO, an "increase of $12,894,330 over those of last year. Raw cotton, leaf tobacco, cotton "ed oil, "oil cake and crude rub ber formed the principal exports. Tho c3ir.mereial movement seems reciprocal for the importation of trench goods in to this country- increased $5,38S,1$9, the increase b?ing found chiefly under the importation of hides and skins, manufactures of cotton, Kilk 'goods, clothing, rubber and glyeerine. Dur ing the past spring, there were hun dreds of American tourists in France which accounted for th increased lex ports from that-country in made-up lin en, silk and woolen clothing, jewelry, gloves and automobiles. ' .'According t a bulletin issued by the census bureau recenty, the total amount of cotton ginned in the United States en November . 14, amounted to 7493, 167 bales. Compared with a similar report on the game date, last year, a large falling off ia shown. November 14, 1904, there were 9,786,646 bales, and in 1803, 6.313,162 bales ginned. - In, 1904, the. total crop numbered 13,451, 337 bales..

Chicago 2; Michi gan 0. The undisputed honor of the western football championship wa3 earned today by Chicago by the close seor of two points, earned on a safety touchdown in the second half by the splendid work ' of Captain Catlin of Chicago, but was also due to the poor judgment of 'lark ot Michigan in try iig' to run back a punt of Eckersalls, which barely reached .the Michigan goal line. He was thrown against tho line by Catlin after throwing off two Chicago taeklers and two points, a safety touchdown, was thus recorded . i ' a - . i l . ' for Chicago, and was the only scoring done in tho game. . The game was devoid of spectacular features! ' Close Came at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Nov. 30. Pennsylvania today defeated Cornell in the annual football gam by a score of 6 to 5, the narrow ' margin of a goal deciding the contest. It was only after Cornell had been weakened by the substitution of new players that Pennsylvania was able to cross the Ithacians' goal. Alter an hour of play during which the visiters h-dd Pennsylvania in check and realy outplayed them on the change of iToal after a touchdown, Pennsyl vania, aided by a stiff wind, gradually forced the 1-'11 down the field for a touchdown. Both scores were made in the second half. v Pennsylvania did not play with its accustomed dash, while Cornell's sup port was in good condition.
