MINISTER DE GERS,

The Head of Russian Foreign Affairs,
Dies at St. Petersburg.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 2s.-M. De
Giers, minister of foreign affairs, died
Saturday.
Nicholas Carlovitch de Giers was
born May 81, 1920. He entered the
Asiatic department of the ministry of
foreign affairs at the age of 1S. In
1s41 he was attached to the Russian
consulate in Moldavia, and in Septem-
Der, 184s, he was sent to the head
quarters of he Russian troops lin
Pennsylvania during the Hungarian
campaign as a diplomatic official. In
December, 1875, he was appointed adj
junct to the minister of foreign af-
fairs and director of the Asiatic de-
partment. with a seat in the senate.
In 1876 the direction of foreign af-
fairs was altogether confided to him
during the absence of Prince Gortcha-
lzoff, and again in 1877, for
seven months. during the war
with Turkey. While Prince Gortcha-
kof was attending the Berlin
congress. M. De Giers, for the third
time, took his place, and, as the inn
perial chancellor was never afterwards
able to transact business for any long
period and was almost cons tan thy
abroad for the sake of his health, it
may be said that from the conclusion
of the treaty of Berlin, NJ. De Giers
was, to all intents and purposes, the
sole guardian of the foreign affairs of
Russia. In April, 1882, on the retire
ment of Prince Gortschakoff, he was
advanced to the post of minister of
foreign affairs.

ANOTHER BOND ISSUE

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-It is understood
in New York that the secretary of the
treasury will issue call for $50, 0OO,-
900 4-per-cent. bonds tomorrow. The
only contingency which might prevent
the contemplated programme would be
the agreement of the leaders in con-
gress upon some financial measure
which would be satisfactory to the adj
ministration. Without speedy legisla-
ton in sight, the administration, it
is understood, will not defer a bond
issue as the situation imperatively de-
mands a replenishment of the gold re-
serve.
1t is asserted that new issue OF
tours could be made payable in 1907
and would mature in twelve and one
half years from the date of issue. 1t
would be difficult to float another is
sue of fves at satisfactory price,
both because there are so many in the
market and the high rate of premium
makes them undesirable to both in

COLORADO DEMOCRATS.

Denver, July 2.-The Democratic state
convention met today to consider the
financial question. Chairman Arbuckles'
address was as follows:
Democrats of Colorado, by direction Of
a large majority of your state central
committee you have been called together
in mass convention for the purpose Of
considering financial questions. When
the agitation favoring a state convention
was raised I, as state chairman, wrote
letter to each member of the state
committee strongly advising against a
convention being held at this time for
reasons therein stated. But being a thor
ough believer in party discipline, and the
majority rule, your wishes have been
complied with. l stand upon the broad
proposition that any and all relief which
may come to Colorado as well as the
United States must of necessity be
through Democratic doctrine and admin
istration, and that 1t is the supreme duty
of the Colorado Democracy at this time
to hold fast the respect and confidence Of
the national Democracy by proclaiming
allegiance and devotion to its PRINCIPLES
of "bimetallism." "a tariff for revenue
only" rights of states" etc.
In 1892 resolutions of censure and con-
demnation were adopted by our state con-
vention. Party Generalization resulted.
We cannot retain party discipline and
respect Of national Democracy by such
a course.
In my opinion the action of the Illinois
Democracy in passing a resolution of
condemnation was impolitlc and dis
graceful"

has been relieved from duty owing to q
disagreement with Secretary OF Agricul-
ture Morton.
A call was made June 10Th for Professor
Harrington's resignation. He declined to

by the president to take effect July 1st
James f. Cook, chief clerk of the weather
bureau, is acting as head OF the bureau
until a successor is appointed. The re-
lations between Secretary Morton and
Harrington have been strained for many
months and the correspondence between
them has been carried on in the most
formal language. Professor Harrington
himself said today:
ION the 10Th of June the president ask
ed for my resignation because Of public
interests. I declined to give 1t on the
score of personal interests, and my re-
moval, which followed, was to take eff
feet July list. The personal interests
involved were discussed by me in let
ter to the president and I feel that l
have not received fair treatment,
Among the public interests which I
have steadily in view were the preserva-
ton of scientific corps and the protec-
ton Of that bureau from spoilsmen."

Mr.. Hammond Expected to
Arrive Today.
ATTORNEY SAYS ALL is READY
Seaside Railroad Complication May
Detain Him LOnger-D. K. War
rem GOss to Portland.

The time is approaching when construc-
tion upon the railroad will commence.
The latest advlces indicate that Mr. Ham
mond will arrive today. His attorney.
Mr.. Fred Strong, Of Portland. was In
the city yesterday and 1t is understood
that he thoroughly examined the guaranty
bond on the right Of way and other legal
documents connected with the enterprise
and that he advised his chief by wire
that all the papers were in proper shape
and that everything was ready for his
acceptance. 1t is also stated by those
In position to know that Mr.. Strong ad-
vised Mr.. Hammond to come to Astoria
at Cnce.
Late arrivals from Portland stlte that
the Flavel Land Company subsidy mat
ter concerning which exclusive informa-
tton was given in Sundays Astorian,
has been arranged to the entire satisfac-
tion Of Mr. Hammond, and that the cor
rected papers are now on the way from
Boston.
There is one matter, however, which
may interfere with Mr.. Hammond's arriv-
al today. Mr.. d. X. W1rren, who while
In Portland last week, made PROPOSE
ton to the o. r. and N. co. to lease and
operate the Seaside railroad for the sea-
son of 1896. according to previous agree
ment, left last night for Portland to con-
fer with that company in regard to clos
ing the deal. Mr.. Hammond will have
to formally accept the Seaside road to-
day and deposit the money In the Asto-
ria bank or lose the use Of the road
this season. AS he has been advised Of
MIR, Warren's trip to Portland he may
possibly think 1t best to remain with
Mr.. Warren, should he desire to prevent
the o. r. and N. Co. from acquiring the
lease Of this property.
In any event active operations are near
at hand and as Mr.. Hammond stated in
his telegram Sunday. when he does ar
rive in Astoria ne will not keep the peo-
pie waiting.

San Francisco, July 2,--Among the ar
rivals here today were DR.. It. Somiznoff

hama, and other points close to the Rus

DR.. Somiznoff was asked as to the re-
port received from Tacoma, that $4,000
Russian soldiers were massed at Vladi-
vostock, and that the harbor was set
with torpedoes, with other indications
Of trouble between Russia and Japan.
There is no such number as $1,000
there" he said. "That dispatch is ex-
aggerated There are about 10000 troops
there. but the government has had most
of them there for some time. Thy have
been gathering from all over Siberia and
the country towards St. Petersburg.

ships there, too, and 1t Is true that there
are torpedoes in the harbor at Vladivo-
stock. What they are there for you win

THREE MEN Do IT
Southern Pacific Held Up at
Grants Pass.
SECRETARY MORTON FIRES HIM
Disagrees With Prof. Harrington
Spokane Sensation Develops
New Phase.

Special to the Historian.
Grants Pass, Or, July 2.-The Southren
Pacific overland, northbound, was stopped
tonight at 1915 p. m, by three highway
men, nelr Riddles, about 30 miles south
or Roseburg, and thoroughly robbed.
Sticks of dynamite were placed on the
lail, which disabled the engine by blow
ing the fianges off the pony trucks, and
brought the train to a stop. Taking the
fireman, two of the highwaymen proceed
ed to go through the train, and every
car, from the express car to the rear
Pullman, was searched. Nothing was
obtained from the express car, for there
was no treasure on board.
In the mail car better success was met
with, and the Portland nd-Tacoma-Seattle
and Victoria B. G. registered sacks were
rlfied. The passengers were also search
ed pretty thoroughly, but just what sue
cess was met, is not known. One high
wayman took hasty shot at Conductor
Kearney, who was in charge Of the train,
but no damage was done. A description
Of the men, or rather one of them in par
ticulhr is given as height, s feet IL inches,
light complexion, light mustache, project
ing upper jaw, very heavy pointed cnin,
two upper front teeth projecting, and
high cheek bones. He wore about a No.
shoe, with tacks in the bottoms. Had
on a pair of blue overalls. The descrip-
tion of the other one is that of a man
about feet inches in height, but as he
kept in the background, a definite de-
scription could not be had.
Superintendent Fields. of the Southern
Pacific, lost no time, and in an hour af-
ter learning OF the hold-up, had two par
ties on the way to the scene of the rob-
berry. A posse of officers was hastily
made up at Roseburg, and started at
once, and another Of rough and ready
mountaineers started from here. Both
will reach the scene by daylight. Every
effort will be made to capture the rob-
bers. The men of the party starting from
here are thoroughly familiar with every
foot of the ground in the neighborhood
of the robbery and pretty good hopes
are entertained of capturing them.
The train was delayed several hours,
having been compelled to turn the en-
gine around and go into roseburg back
wards.
The robbers obtained $500 from the pas
sengers and about $50 from the register
ed mail. One of the robbers went through
the entire train while the other two stood
guard and fired cartridges to terrify the
passengers and train men. The Southern
Pacific has offered reward of $40 for
the arrest and conviction of each robber
There is also standing reward by Wells,
Fargo & Co., and the government. Sew
eral posses are in the field after the rob-
bers.
