LOCAL IN BRIEF.

NltASl PCudSoSuCS VI NlSllOIS, was
a success, and created an interest
which may result in larger attend
ance at future institutes. A num-
Der of well-known citizens of the
county who always exhibit iaud-
able interest in the cause of educa-
tion were present and took an ac-
tion part in the discussion of the
various papers. DR.. F. M. Carter
of Elk City and Toledo discoursed
learnedly on the subject Of per
verted taste" etc., while Hon. G,
B. Crosno and Assessor Wadsworth
argued logically and entertainingly
as to the why of Portland's great
ness, etc. From start to finish the
institute was instructive and in
teresting. The evening session, or
entertainment, drew large audi
ence, and was meritorious and en-
joyable. A pleasant surprise to
many was The Toledo school or
chestra composed of Miss Vernie
Ross, Leon Rosebrook, Clarence
and Oscar Ofstedahl and Rolla
Gaar. The numbers given by these
young musicians mertted and re-
ceived generous applause and nice
compliment from Prof. Horner.
Recitations by Misses Ethel Lem
mon and Estella Cannon were
among the good features. Fred
Ross rendered vocal solo in his
usual winning style, but, unlike the
cat, didn't come back, although the
audience applauded till its hands
were koarse. Prof. J. B. Horner of
ithc Oregon Agricultural College at
Corvallis was down for an address
on '1Snglish Literature, but apol-
ogized and substituted paper on
Robert Burns, which was really a
fine eulogy of the famous Scotch
plowboy poet. Professor Horner is
working earnestly for the summer
school at Newport this season and
believes it will outclass any summer
school on the Pacific coast. His
enthusiasm is contagious. Every.
body is with him.
Scott Bozorth, the wide-awake
manager of the Pacific Homestead
and G Boeschen, chief cook at the
insane asylum. both of Salem, came
in last Friday evening and next da,
went to their homesteads up De
pot, accompanied by Attorney B
F. Jones. They returned to Salem
Monday.
Special Indian Agent Mancheste
returned Wednesday evening from
Washington, D. c., and went tc

that Mr.. Manchester would com
mence yesterday paying the In
dians the money due them.

present moment a struggle which must come
eventually. The chief reason against doing
is the fact that Japan is just beginning new
industrial era which would be temporarily killed
should we endeavor by force of arms to prevent
Russian encroachments.
If yye follow the lead of other powers and DO
not threaten hostilities realize that we must
sit down tamely and see any ether nation step
i'm and make agreements similar to those when
China seems on the verge of signing with
Russia. This would mean the partition OF the
Chinese Empire and the end of the "open door
have the moral support of the United states
which has been the champion of these prlh-
ciples. and also Of Great Britain ana germany.
Replying 10 Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, Con-
servatve. who asked in the House OF Commons
to-day whether Russia had presented emma
with a modified agreement regarding Man
churia and whether Russia had withdrawn from
the so-called concert of Europe, the Under For
eign Secretary, LCrd Cranborne, said the gov
ernment understood that the terms OF the pro-
posed agreement were still under discussion
But he U4ord Cranborne) was unable to make
any positive statement that subject. The
Russian Government. he added. had informed
the government of Great Britain that Russia
has intention of Withdrawing from co-opera-
tion with the other powers in China.
Questioned in regard 10 the Russian conces-
sion at Tien-Tsin Lord Cranborn said Ii Hung
Chang signed agreement granting Russia a
considerable tract OF land which the Russian
military authorities had previously claimed by
right of conquest The British Foreign Cff1ce
was not aware by what authority Ii Hung
Government had declared its validity. and
therefore IT must be reserved for future exam
ination. Count Lamsdorff made a similar
declaration on March 2o.

STILL NO COAL CONFERENCE.
MITCHELL YET TO FULFIL HIS MISSION
HERE-MR HANNA DOES NOT LOOK
FOR a STRIKE

1t was evident yesterday that all the larger ar
thracite coal companies had agreed not 10 recognizes
the miners organization The companies do not
care 10 bind themselves TO any agreement with the
United Mine Workers who. it is thought are not
now in position TO guarantee the action of their
leaders toward the operators In of the local
Offices yesterday expressed the opinion that a
strike was even probable
1t is generally understood that the ma jory of the
English speaking miners in the anthracite region
are in sympathy with the voluntary action taken
by the companies in announcing that they would
wages.
Senator Hanna, who was instrumental in averting
a strike last fall. said yesterday that he believed
there would be difficulty among the miners He
stated that his visit to New-York in no way
connected with the coal situation.
President Mitchell OF the United Mine Workers
who arrived here last Saturday. refused yesterday
to comment upon his inability 10 obtain q confer
ence with J. Pierpont Morgan He said:
have had no conference with j. p Morgan or
tIary to reports we. the committee, did to
New-York in response to any invitation. far
as know, the miners have up this time
been offered nor have they granted any concessions
OF course, we all hope to avert the strike and
putting forth most urgent efforts TO that end
We came TO New-York for the purpose of holding
conference, If possible. and in doing we are
simply carrying the wishes expressed by a
majority those who attended the late conference
at Hazeton.

AMOUNTS TO se5,ooo,oOo.
RELIEF IN PEKING THAT IT CAN BE RAISED
TO s5oCooOoo. AND THE INDEMNITY
PAID IN TWENTY YEARS.

Peking March 25.-The special committee of
ministers appointed TO consider the question of
China's ability TO meet the indemnity claims Is
already well forward with the work Of investi-
eating the resources of the empire. Sir Robert
Hart. Director-General Of the Imperial Mari
time Customs, has been examined. as have also
the managers of representative chinese banks.
many pawnbrokers and other Chinese fnanciers.
The consular reports for a number of years back
have been closely read.
1t now appears that from all sources the an
nual revenue aggregates about S6oUooOoo goid
derived from the land tax. the grain tax. the
likin the customs the opium tax and miscei-
laneous imports. The largest two items are the
land tax which brings in S14OO0O0O, and the
foreign customs. which yield S12OO00oO
In the opinion of all the foreigners who have
participated in the examination the land tax
could be doubled and tripled without much
hardship, and the salt tax could be raised from
S6,000,000 to S20O0O.000.
1t is believed that the total increase could be
made to amount to S150OOOOOO If then, the
imperial expenses could be reduced to S45.
100000 there would be left available for the
liquidation of the interest loans and the in
demnlty fund the sum of S105, ,000 900.
Making all allowances, it would he possible to
pay the indemnity within twenty years.

Chinese TO sign the Manchurian agreement eX-
pires Tuesday. and should the agreement not
be signed then. Russia will break off the nego-
tiations. The agreement practically annexes
Manchura.

this morning. but did not decide either to sign

RUssIA-JAPAN NOT so PEACEFUL.
London. March 25.-The Chinese Minister. sir
Chih Chen Lo Feng Luh. called at the Foreign
Office this afternoon and urged the British Gov
eminent to bring pressure bear in order TO
prevent Russia from securing the necessary
signatures to the Manchurian agreement. The
Foreign Office is still in the dark tonight to
whether the agreement will be signed allowed
TO lapse when the time expires. March 26. The
officials of the Japanese Legation inclined
10 believe Russia will succeed in getting the
necessary signatures
The situation is still more complicated owing
10 the fact. ascertained to-day, that there are
two secret treaties, one of which is TO be signed
at st. Petersburg, dealing with Russia's mill
tary control of Manchuria. and another. to be
signed at Peking. dealing with her civil powers.
The Chinese appeals for support have failed
to produce any direct remonstrarces from Great
Britain. apparently from any other power
TO st. Petersburg, for Russia persistently
adheres to her contention that the secret agree
ments concern no one except herself and China
On this ground Great Britain's request for
copies Of the agreements was abruptly declined
1t is explained at the Foreign Office here that
it would be dangerous and useless breach of
diplomatic procedure to endeavor 10 enter upon
expostulatons with Russia which would only
be based upon information supplied by the
Chinese.
In the absence Of the japanese Minister in
London, Baron Hayashi, Mr.. Matsui first sec
retary of the Japanese Legation, who was In
terviewed this afternoon by a representative of
The Associated Press. made a comprehensive
statement of the issues involved. He said:
