Is Quiet in the Land.
A single cannon shot announced the
execution of the plot, all the terrible
details of which may perhaps never
be accurately known. Detachments Of
troops Immediately marched to the bu
reaus of posts and telegraphS and the
railway stations and occupied them.
Other troops Immediately marched to
the barracks and proclaimed Prince
Karageorgevitch king. A body OF
mounted officers. with Lieutenant Col
Onel Gruics, the son Of the present
ambassador at COnstantinople, at their
head, rode to the center Of the town and
announced the army's choice to the
people, who, now alarmed, were
thronging the streets.
Enthusiastic shouts were raised Of
LONG live KalageOrgevitch," and
LONG live the army" The WarmeSt
welcome was extended to Queen ORA
gas brother-in-laW, Colonel Maschin,
! one of the regicides. The troops at
the barracks received the news with
JOY. There was only one objectOr, Gen
eral NikoIics, commander of the Da-
nube division, who was promptly shot
down and severely wounded, but not
before he had shot and killed Lieuten-
ant eagles.
The newspapers are almost unani-
nous in approving the revolution
Some compassion is felt for the I'M
fortunate king, but the people general
= ly admit that no other solution to an
intolerable situation was possible.
There is some talk Of a republic, but
the majority of the people desire the
accession of Prince KarageOrgevitch.
All remains quiet, an encouraging eff
feet produced by the absolute unani-
nifty which prevails regarding the
choice of the new ruler, whose procia-
nation as king by the army will I'M
doubtedly be ratified by parliament.
This quiet acceptance Of the revolution
is apparently the same throughout the
country

spiratOrs were all men Of high rank,
who acted in concert with the army.
The participation of the lattca in the
assassinatiOns is mainly due to the
attitude of King Alexander and his
consort toward the officers of the army,
whom he always treated with scant
courtesy. His desire to remove the

Portland, Ore, June 16.-The most

town of Heppner was almost entirely
destroyed by "a food. Heppner is the
county seat of Morrow county, and
has about 1000 inhabitants The most
reliable reports at this writing state
that the loss of life at Heppner will
be at least 500, though the number Of
dead probably is larger. All the tel

cured. A report from Iona, seventeen
miles from Heppner, states that 800
bodies have been recovered.

the attorneys for I. Harry stratton had
tampered with the list of jurymen who are
to hear the case and today the court was
taken up in hearing testimony as to the
truth Of the charge. which, IL substsntiated,
will mean that a new panel will be called.
Berry was on the stand all morning and
was subjected to a fierce cross-examination
by Senator Wolcott, who forced him to ad-
NIT that he was first employed by a rep
resentative of the administrators VINO are
fighting the son. and while so employed
went to the attorneys Of the son and en-
tered their employ, thus obtaining inside

EnEineers Drop Rocks and Earth Into
QuagRIre, but Fail to FIJI
Hole.

OGDEN, Utah. March 25.-The first fatal
accident on the quasmire across the north
ern arm of Great Salt Lake occurred last
night when a Southern Pacific engine ran
onto the track across the sink. The track
had sunk six inches and the engine was
overturned, Fireman Watson being killed
and Engineer jenkins slightly injured
For several months a stretch of less than
500 feet of the NIL and trestle work across
the lake has given the engineers trouble,
and numerous accidents have occurred
Thousands of tons of rock and earth have
been dumped into the sink, seemingly with
out effect Once it seemed to be filled
and a track was built across the embank-
ment. Next morning It had disappeared
and hard work was required to save the
rails and ties. Two and three forty-foot
piles. placed end TO end, have found no
bottom, and the theory has been advanced
that a subterranean outlet to Great Salt
Lake has been carrying away the material
almost as fast as 1t could be dumped in.
At no other spot on the long I'LL across
the lake has any trouble been experienced
and the engineers believe that ultimately
they will hnd bottom and succeed in I'LL
ing the hole.

TELLS OF SIEGE OF PEKIN
Missionary from China Recounts His
Thrilling Experience with
boxers.

Knox Presbyterian church, Nineteenth and
Ohio streets, was comfortably filled last
evening with an interested audience 20
hear Rev Courtney Fem tell the story Of
his thrilling experiences during the siege
Of Pekin. China, in the eight weeks that
the missionaries and foreign ministers were
held as prisoners by the Boxers and their
allies, the Chinese imperial troops. He
said in part:
I'VE had fortified ourselves as best we
could on the grounds Of the British leEa-
tion--in the compound we called it. We
we're absolutely helpless to do anything for
ourselves. II was your prayers that wrought
that deliverance. Long prior to the climax
of the Boxer outbreak we knew that trouble
was brewing. It began TO manifest itself
in the summer Of 1895 The emperor of
China, under the influence CT foreign books
and bene1cent foreign influences, decided
to take a long step in advance and place
China among the progressive nations Of
the world; to encourage religious tolera-
tion and abolish useless officials who were
sapping the life out Of the empire and
grinding the people into the dust The
empress dowsger believed in the old order
of things and revolted, as It was not her
conception Of what China should be. The
result was that the emperor was relegated
nese economy and the empress dowager
took the reins OF power into her hands
Native Christians were mercilessly per-
secuted missionary establishments we're
looted and the cry of Down with the for
eigl devils!' became universal. The Chi
nese held that the introduction of modern
civilization and methods meant the ruin
Of the empire and the destruction OF Chi
nese internal commerce. The railroads
would deprive. the carriers of their meth
DDS Of living, and they really believed that
Chinese baby would be laid under every
railroad tie. They were told and believed
that the introduction Of the missionaries
into China was for political reasons; as
they could not be made to believe that the
missionaries would come into the country
for other than a mercenary reason. The
ultimate result would be the dismember-
ment Of the empire of China and its parcel
ling out to the foreign nations Hence the
Chinese were provoked and their patriotic
spirit aroused. with the Boxers as the chief
patriots. These were the primal causes OF
the uprising. and looking at is through their
eyes, we cannot blame them too severely -
The speaker then told OF the siege Of the
legations, the death of the German min
lister. the gallantry, of the little handful Of
American marines, the opportune finding 81
an old muzzle-loading cannon in the COM
pound and the heroic use to which II was
put. He told, too. of the gallantry of Min
| lister Conger and of the ultimate raising OF
the siege by the arrival Of the allied forces
on the memorable 14th OF August. The
relief came just in the nick Of time, as II
was beginning to be doubtful whether they
could hold out day longer.

NAVY FURNISHES A LESSON
French Marine Minister Says that
Country should Follow Amer
lean Example.

PARIS. March 25.-Marine Minister
Pelatin in the course Of a speech in the
senate today defending Frances naval
policy, said the United States furnished a
lesson in naval construction which France
could follow with gain.
He referred to the American and Ger
man navies as being the two most pro-
gressive Of the present time and said their
strength was not through the maintenance
Of a large, GnWieldy force during times OF
peace. but was due to a small force, ca
pable of quiak enlargement in time OF
war.
This permitted the expenditures Of large
amounts of money during periods Of peace
on dock yards. coallng stations and new
ships, instead OF continuing expenditures
on a costly force. The minister declared
France should follow the same course, con-
centrating all her naval efforts on con-
structiou.
