VETERANS DISLIKE WARE
Say New Pension Commissioner Is as
Bad as Evans.

Washington, April 24.-There is much
dissatisfaction with the administration of
the pension office under Commissioner
Ware, according to r. st. G. Dryenforth
IF this city, commander-in-chief of the
Union Veterans union, a national organ
cation with an organized membership in
various states.
Mr.. Dryenforth, in a caustic interview,
said today that the administration Of the
pension office as affecting the rights Of
veterans had not improved since Henry
Clay Evans was given the best political
office within the gift Of the president.
Officers of the Union Veterans union de-
clare that Just as many claims are re-
jected now as formerly and that a sys-
.tematic movement has been instituted to
drive the veterans out OF office and poll
tics, replacing them with younger men.
In consequence of this feeling a national
organization is being formed by, General
Dryenforth to force the election of dele
gates to the new republican national CON
gention who will see that a plank is
adopted compelling more liberal treat
ment of the veterans In the way of pre-
%ferInent In appointments .totofice and, II
possible, force the party to appoint to the
com~missionership of pensions men ap-
proved by the veterans. Campaign COM
missioners are at work in New York, I'LL
nois. Ohio, New Jersey, Massachusetts,
West Virginia, Iowa, Kansas Missouri
and other states.

She Don't Like Russia's methods o.
Dealing With .Manchuria.
Toxic, April 10, via Victoria. B. c., April
22.--The' latest news from Manchuria to
the effect that the second evacuation by
Russians was to be duly effected has tended
somewhat to allay the growing uneasiness
In Japan over the fear that the second
evacuation would be a farce.
Recently there have been grounds for
this uneasiness. The Russians were re-
ported to have unnecessarily strengthened
their railway guards" and 20, 600 Russian
troops were said to command the northern
border Of Korea, which is looked upon as
Japan's special ward. -
Another report has it tina n second
Blagovestchensk massacre on a small
scale has taken place at a place called
Erbgane, in the northern M%anchufian
province of Hei Lung Chang, where 200
inoffensivef Chinese placer miners had.been
ruthlesslya shot down by Russian troops.
1t is impossible to verify these reports,
or another that the Russians, far from
~evacuatfngs We're fortifying their garrisons
in different, sections. ~. (,
These reports aroused the Japanese, and
throughout the length and breadth Of .Ja-
a there is a feeling Of determination
that. the, forward march Of R~ussiansag-
gression requires to be checked. some
where;if Japan Is to be SAFE.

mania Pay Court to Pauline Astor.
Bucharest, April 23.-For the hand Of
Pauline Astor, daughter of William
Waldorf Aston, two powerful rivals are
contending-Prince Ferdinand Of Bull
garia and lionel" Bratiano, Rou-
manian minister Of foreign affairs.
Prince Ferdinand is heir to the Bull
garinn throne. He Is most anxious to
lave the daughter of the Astor.s as q,
~steprnother to his four motberless chill
dren and to have the benefit of the
millions she will Inherit He is not pre-
possessing and his reputation has been
clouded by many .escapades: S@@He Is
more han so years of age.
On the other hand; "Tonel'' Bratiano
is young. vigorous, manly and, unmer-
cenary. That he will become leader of
the liberal party, as his father was, ia
generally admitted. He IS only 35 years
old. Ills ambitions are lofty, and his
motives disinterested and high.
Between the claims of these two suit
ors Miss Pauline Astor has expressed
no choice. but her actions are signih-
cant. For four months she has lin
gered with his brother iii Bucharest,
where Bratiano is a%ssiduouss in pressing
his suit for her hand. The two are very
often together and 1t Is evident to the
most careless observer that his atten-
tons are not unwelcome. H.. I A

King stopped a solar plexus and the
police saved him from a knock out.
Fifteen blue coats broke in the doors
and proclaimed the crowd under ar.
rest.
Immediately everything was %confus-
lon. Some n put out the lights and
friends were fighting friends instead Of
the police In efforts to get away. Some
one, more frightened that the rest,
began firing a revolver. One Of the
shots punctured a boiler over the fur
mace n at once the crowd was en-
veloped in escaping steam. That no one
was shot seems a mystery. Several
persons were burned by steam, although
they mad their escape. -Four wagon
loads Of prisoners were bailed out un-
der assumed names.

SHARP FIGHT AT OLYMPIA.
Three Candidates for United States
Sena rorship Display Confidence

Three Candidates for United States
Senacorship Display Confidence.
OLYMPIA, Jan. 10.-The contest for
United States Senator, in which the seat
now occupied by George Turner CD is
involved is overshadowed tonight by the
fight for Speaker Of the House. EX-Sen-
ator John /. Wilson and Harold Preston
of Seattle are now at the capital looking
after their interests in the Senatorial con-
test, while representatives of Levi An
keny of Walla WaIla, who will arrive
next week, are on the ground. The
friends Of the three candidates are con-
fident, but are reticent regarding figures
bearing their strength. A sentiment
IN favor Of an early Republican caucus
to settle the fight is strong, and it is
probable a caucus call will be put into
circulation soon.
The Speakership contest is being mar
rowed down to a fight between w. H.
Hare Of Yakima and r. B. Wilson of Kit
titas. ]. q. Megler of Wahkiakum is
third candidate. Tonight it seems prob
able Hare may be selected as Speaker.
Caucuses Of the various delegations are
in progress but the change in the present
lineup is not likely to be material. Hare
is within easy reaching distance, while
Wilson Acknowledges his chances rest
with the caucuses. The contest will be
settled by Sunday night. The Legislature
convenes al noon Monday.

AMERICAN GENEROSITY
MEETS WITH DISFAVOR
Europe Opposes Proposal to Deal,
Leniently With Chinese Gov
ernment

LONDON, Jan. 1O.-The negotiations be-
tween the powers regarding the method
of paying the Chinese indemnity are pro-
ceeding. Washingtons acceptance Of the
Chinese proposal to pay in silver does not
meet with the cordial approval Of Eu-
rope. A Foreign Office official said to-
day:
America and England have both been
peculiarly generous to China, but this last
step meets with considerable opposition
in various quarters. We are willing to
do everything in our power, but the situa-
ton is very complicated. The Chinese say
that if they have to pay 1t in gold it will
mean their countrys ruin. On the other
hand, If the payments are made in silver
at the present value of the tael the in
demnity. which was made as low as II
consistently could be made, will be enor-
mously reduced. Possibly we may be able
to reach some compromise which will be
satisfactory not only to the United States,
but to the other powers who do not seem
to be so generously inclined, by the ex-
tension Of the time for the payments and
other arrangements by which all the
credit nations may be satisfied and serious
consequences to China averted.'
