BIMETALLisM WORKS CHANGES
German ReichsfnG's Attention Again
TO BE Attracted.

Washington, April S-The parliament
airy movement on in Germany tow Yards
bmetallism is described in a report to the
state department by United States Com
mercial Agent Moore at Weimar He says
that on March Il the economic committee
of the imperial reichstag decided to bring
in the following resolution:
The reichstag shall declare that inter-
national bimetallsm best answers the
interests OF Germany and request the
confederal governments German statos1
to do all that is in their power in order
to establish and acquire by International
convention fixed proportion of value
between silver and geld"
Mr.. Moore explains that this economic
committee is not a branch of the reg llar
organization of the imperial reichstag,
but a self-eonstituted committee with a
permanent organization committee, com
posed largely of the agraran party and
II is in the ranks of this party that hi
metallism finds Its support In Germany.
II Is known, says Mr. Moore. that a cor
responding proposition will be submitted
simultaneously In Paris and London. This
movement has created great attention
afresh in Europe to the monetary situa-
ton.

Real Cause of the Removal of Frank
W. Beane.

Boise, April SFrank W. Beanie dem
ocratic national committeeman for Idaho,
lately dismissed as special agent to the
treasury department explains that
charges against him were all met as they
came up and the real reason for his dis
missa. was inability of the administration
TO control him on the silver question. He
says the administration attempted to CO
cree veteran federal office holders on the
national committee into voting with gold
men on temporary organization. They
thought they had bought him, he says
with the office but they We're mistaken.
Became thinks the silver men have three
votes the best of their opponents on the
committee.
Became states that the money which
the Chinaman gave him when he sought
TO bride him was placed in the Overland
hotel safe by himself; that it was so en-
dorsed and that the clerk added his en-
dorsement. Agent johnson had nothing
TO do with it. When he was ready To go
away, he took the money out of the safe.
The identical money with the original
envelope was brought here by him today
and placed In the hands of the grand jury
which is investigating The case against
the Chinamau.

A WAR OF FISHERMEN
COLUMBIA RIVER CANNERIEs NrST
PAY CENTS A POUND.
Governor McGraw Has Ordered STATE
Troops of Washington to the
scene of Trouble.

Portland, Or, April S.-There is a
rumor current here tonight that i've
men have been killed at Astoria as a
result of the trouble which has arisen
between the cannerymen and the fish
ermen's union.
a dispatch from Astoria says Two
thousand fishermen held a mass mec,-
ing here today and agreed to hold out
for a uniform price of cents per pound
for all salmon caught this season. II
was the sense of the meeting that the
fishermen should obtain this price If 1t
took all summer. The canneries offer
the fishermen cents per pound. 1t was
also resolved by the mass meeting that
no union fishermen. pending settle
ment of the dispute, should catch fish
other than for his own consumption.
and that non-union men will not be
permitted to fish either for business or
pleasure, with an intimation that any
non-union man found violating the rule
would be in peril of being strung up.
| The price of cents is required from
/ all the canneries before the men will

INDIAN APPROPRIATIONS.
The Indian appropriation bill was
then taken up. When the provision was
reached for a commission to negotiate
with the Yakima Indians Of Wa shing-
ton, Senator Hoar moved to strike out
the proviso that not more than two Of
whom shall be of the same political
party" He urged the inconsistency Of
asking the president in naming Indian
commissioners to consider the politics
Of the members. He also suggested that
this would disqualify many citizens
who belonged to no political party
Senator Daniel urged that here should
be equal recognition of the established
political parties.
Senator Pettigrew, In charge of the
bill said the Yakima Indians were di-
vided in their politics ana It was only
fair that both parties should be repre-
scented in a negotiation with them.
This provision finally went over
Senator Cannon offered an amend
ment that the members of "A commission
treating with Indians should be bona
fde residents OF the state or territory
in which the Indians are located.

Chicago. April S,-The Great Northern
and Union Pacific are at loggerheads over
sleeping car rates to Portland, or. The
tracks of the Great Northern end at Sc
attic and from there to Portland 1t uses
the tracks of the Northern Pacific. The
sleeping car rate from st. Paul to Seattle
is $3.50. From St. Paul to Portland the
amount is the same, but the Northern
Pacific's local sleeping car rate from Seat
tie TO Portland is 81. The Great Northern
is now absorbing the SO between Seattle
and Portland and in support of It's ac-
ton it has a ruling Of the secretary of
the local passenger association at Port
land.
The Union Pacific, however. has taken
exception to any such ruling 1t claims
that the Great Northern. not having
tracks of its own into Portland, has no
more right to do a through business to
that point than the Union Pacific would
have to 90 10 Seattle or any other Puget
sound point.
The matter has been referred to the
chairman Of the transcontinentala ssocla-
ton for a ruling, but he admits that il il
too complicated to pass upon without a
full hearing. and he has therefore re-
quested expressions Of opinion on the sub
ieet from all the roads interested.
