NAMES NEW TERMS.
Russia Adds to Conditions Of Evacuation
OF i1anchurla.

Pekin, Sept. 16.-Russia has pre-.
sented to the Chinese government new
scheme for evacuation, originally fixed
for October s, and proposed certain new
conditions in addition to moet OF the
conditions concluded in the last
scheme.
Russia now proposes to evacuate Niu
Chwang and Moukden province October
8, Kirin province four months later,
and the third province a year later.
Among the new conditions Russia stip-
ulates that che shall maintain military
posts on the road from Tsitsihar, cap
ital Of Heilungkiang, to Blagovosk-
chensk and on the Sungari river. The
reason Russia gives for maintaining
these posts is that they are necessary
to protect the commerce of the abroad.
There is vaguely worded clause
prohibiting heavy duties on goods
transported by the railway which the
dilomats construe as exempting Rus
sian goods transported ON the railway
from the surtax which the Japanese
and American treaties substitute for
the likin drties.
The scheme also con tains a provision
that Chinese troops shall protect the
branches Of the Russo. Chinese bank
when necessary.
Prince Ching, president of the for
eign board, has informed the ministers
that he considers the Rus. ian condit-
ions to be very reasonable.

HIGHER THAN THE LAW.
Porto Rlcans Who Insulted Stars and
Stripes Sent to Prison.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. IT,
Edward Conde and Leondas Gillot, two
socialists, who spoke in recent meet
ing Of the American Federation Of Labor,
were put on trial today for insulting
the American flag and threatening the
life of Governor Hunt.
Their speeches teemed with abuse Of
the government. One Of the prisoners
was accused of advising the workmen
upon the return Of the governor on
October ! from the United States to
parade carrying black flags and then
to make demands upon the government.
If these demands were refused, the
speaker added, the alternative Of kill
ing Governor Hunt remained.
The other orator was said to have de-
clsred that the American flag was rag
fit to cover rascals and criminals. The
accused vehemently denied the charges
They were tried before Justice Kopel,
convicted of anarchist conduct, and
sentenced TO six months in prison.
Justice Kopel said the flag is higher
than the law and anarchists need never
expect any mercy in his court. The
case has established precedent as a
Porto Rican Official warning that at
taCks on the flag and government must
stop. The Americans and loyal Porto
Ricans are jubilant, while the social
lists are angry at today's decision. The
convicted men will appeal from the
judgment declaring that Justice Kopel
had no jurisdiction and there is no law
covering the offense. The interest in
the case is intense.

ASKS FOR RELIEF
BULGARIA SAYS POWERS MUST IN.

matiCally Staying Christians : En-.
counter Between Two Countries Were
Never More ProbabIe-Turkey HAS
Modified Entire Army.

Sofia, Sept. 16.--The Bulgarian gov.
renment, through its foreign represen.
tatiVes, has addressed a note to the
great powers declaring that the porte
is systematically Devastating Mace,
donia and massacreing the Christian
population. Further, it says Turkey
has modified her whole army, which
cannot possibly be for the sole purpose
of suppressing the revolution. There
fore the Bulgarian government appeals
to the humane sentiment Of Europe to
prevent the continuance of the massa-
cres and devastation, and to stop the
mobilization OF the Turkish army.
The memorandum concludes with
the plain statement that unless the
powers intervene Bulsgria will be
forced to take such measures as she
may deem necessary.
While it is possible that a Turko-B Bull
garian war may even yet be averted,
the probabilities of such an encounter
we're never greater than at the present
moment. The note to the powers, the
most decided step yet taken by the
principality, was dictated not only by
the alarming reports Of wholesale mas
sacers and devastation daily arriving,
but even more by the indifference of
the powers toward the severity Of
Turkeys repressive measures.
People here consider that the anxi.
ETY. OF the powers seems to be manifest-

CHALLENGE HOP YIELD.
Lane County Yard Turns Out Nearly
5000 Pounds Per Acre.

The best record for hopyards that
has been reported this season, or in
fact for several years, comes from the
yard Of George A. Doris, near
Springfield, which is regarded as one
Of the best yards in the county. Mr..
Doris has 10 or 12 acres, and from the
first five acres picked and baled he
had $4,000 pounds of hops, or a yield
Of 2S00 pounds per acre. The yard
foreman says that instead of this re-
port coming from the choice parts of
the yard that the whole yard will not
fall below that average and single
acres could be picked that would yield
5000 pounds.

Crop Damage In Montana.

Eutte, Sept. l6.-Reports today from
outlying farming districts give conflict
ing details as to the damage done by
the recent snow storm. Beaverhead
county appears to have suffered the
most, as hardly a third Of the grain
crop had been harvested when the
storm broke, and for 10 hours the
snow fell incessantly. The snow was
wet, elinging to the grain and crushing
1t to the ground. Estimates Of damage
are placed as high as $4,000 in that
county. Many fruit trees we're
stripped Of their branches.

LIVESTOCK SHOW GOOD.
Breeders Bring Better Herds to State
Fair Than Evev Before.

A better lot Of dairy cattle were nev.
er brought together in the Northwest
than those that are now to be seen
in the livestock department Of the Ore.
gon state fair. For many years the
most progressive and enterprisine
breeders and dairymen have been
striving for something better than
what they already had, and each
achievement has but spurred them on
to another effort.
The farmer generally was not appre.
ciative of the endeavors of the breed.
ers until in the last few years when
dairying became a promising occupa-
tion, and farmers found that they
must raise less wheat and more stock
in order to maintain the productive
qualities Of their land. Now every
one places a proper estimate on the
value OF the livestock breeders serv.
ices to the country as whole. and
gerat interest centers in the relative
merits of the different cattle. individ-
uals and herds shown at the fair.

LEVY IN JANUARY ?
Attorney General Asked to Render
Opinion on New Tax Law.

opinion on New Tax Law.
Whether levy Of state and county
taxes can be made in January 1903,
Is question that has been presented
before Acknowledgement Crawford for
MS opinion. The encouragement is
out Of the city and will not take the
matter up until his return.
The question arises out of the fact
that the new law changing the time OF
levying taxes goes into effect January
!, 1904, while the levy OF taxes under
the present system will not be made
until later in that month, when. the
county courts hold their regular ses.
sions. Under the present system the
assessment is made in one year. the
levy made the following January and
the taxes collected in April
The last legislature in response to
quite a general demand, changed the
time OF payment from spring to the
preceding fall and provided that the
assessment should be made prior to
July /, the levy be made in September
and the taxes be collected before De-
cember 81. Since the old law pro-
ylded that the levy should be made in
January and the new law fixing the
time in September will go into effect
January l, it is clear that when the
county courts meet next January they
VIII find the law changed.

Philadelphia, Sept. l6.-following
closely upon the exposure Of gross ir.

the Eastern State Penitentiary came
the announcement tonight that illegal
coinage OF minor silver pieces has been
carried on by convicts in the big insti-
tuition. No details of the counterfeit
ing scheme can be learned from any Of
the officials connected with the prison,
or from the government officers that
hsve been assigned to the case. The
fact that such daring scheme has been
carried out in the penitentiary was
made public by George Vaux, Jr., one
of the prison inspectors, who sum-
moned newspaper men to his home and
voluntarily made the disclosure. He
gave out brief statement, which is as
follows:
CDR. W. d, Robinson and Mr.. Vaux,
Jr., who are at present the visiting in
speCtors on duty at the Eastern State
Penitentiary, made the statement that
1t has come to their official knowledge
that within short time an attempt has
been made by certain ccnvicts now con-
fined in the penitentiary to manufac-
ture counterfeit silver coins. But a
few pieces we're made, and a number Of
these have come into the possession OF
the inspectors, together with the met
ais and chemicals used, the attempt
thus being nipped in the bud. The
evidence in the case is not yet COM
plete, but all that has been secured has
been submitted to the United States

state fair, is collection Of specimens
OF alfalfa, showing the successive
crops taken from a field in single

menting with alfalfa for several years
for the purpose of demonstrating what
can be done on heavy clay soils with.
out irrigation. The college people do
not conduct their experiments under
unusually favorable conditions, but
SOW their seeds on just such soil as the
average Willamette valley farmer is
using.
The alfalfa exhibited was taken
from the field at four successive cut
tings in one year. The first crop was
cut on May %, and yielded in green
forage 11,22 tons per acre. The Sec
ond crop was cut on June 20 and yield
ed In green forage 2.70 tons per acre.
The third crop was cut on July 2S, and
