Strict Orders Given Provincial Conn
 manders to Prevent Violence.
 ST. PETERSBURG, May 22-Interi- or Minister von Plehwe ascribes the massacre of the Jews at Kishinefr largely to acts of self defense on the part of the Jews and says:
 ''The events at Kishineff have alarmed the Jewish portion of the pop ulation in many regions of the empire and have occasioned rumors among the Christians about intended Jewish per secutions. In some of the cities the Jews began forming self defense asso- citations. After I reported to the czar about the disorders his majesty com manded me to impress .on the com manders in the provinces and towns that they are obligated to and are held personally responsible to take eIl the necessary measures to prevent violence and calm the populace in order to re- move the occasion of fears for life and property in any portion.
 ''In informing your excellency of the monarch's will I feel obliged to state for your guidance that no sort of asso- ated."
 The Jews are not inclined to depend solely on the police and have armed themselves in spite of the circular throughout the Jewish belt. Undoubt. edly their action prevented repetition of the massacres at Kiev, Odessa, Minsk and elsewhere The Minsk Jews are so alarmed that the slightest out. break causes general closing and bar. yicading of their shops.

 In the Breeze to Welcome the
 Soldier President.
 PORTLAND, Ore., May 22.-As the presidents train drew on the bridge spanning the Willamette river at Portland, Ore, salute of twenty one guns was fired by battery of the Oregon national guard stationed on the elevation across the river from the Un- ion depot. A few minutes later the train entered the station amid the cheering of an immense crowd, the din of steam whistles and the playing of bands. r
 A committee headed by United States Senator John H. Mitchell escorted the president to a carriage, and drive about the city was taken Tn the car riage with the president were Secreta- " Loeb, Governor Chamberlain and the venerable mayor of Portland, George F. Williams, who was cabi- net officer when the president was boy.
 The parade was headed by a pla- toon of police. Then came a battalion of the Spanish-American War Veterans under the command of Brigadier Gen. eral Summers, who led the Second Or egon regiment fn the Philippines The Eighth battery, United States artillery, from Vancouver barracks, acted as n mounted escort. Following the presi- dents carriage came large number of prominent citizens in carriages, the Seventeenth infantry from Vancouver barracks, the Third regiment, Oregon national guard, and cadets from sev- eral military schools from various sec Hons of the state.
 A section of the parade that attract ed great attention was human flag l composed of 400 schoolgirls, who had been drilled for weeks. A military com pany of fifty American born Chinese under command of Reid Back, IT,, brought up the rear of the parade.
 Over the entire route from the depot to the City park, distance of three miles, American flags were spread across the streets. Suspended from the Hotel Portland to the post office across Sixth street was large flag, the first American flag hoisted on the walls of old Manila. It took the place of the Spanish flag and marked the end of the Spanish flag in the Philippines. When the presidents carriage came under the flag he and the other occu- pants took off their hats.
 l A feature of the drive that seemed to please the president was an assem- blaze of 12,OO0 school children massed in raised seats on the park blocks. Each child waved an American flag as the president passed and cheered him | lustily.
 On his way to the depot at Salem the president noticed an invalid child lying 1 upon a stretcher on the cIrbing. He stopped his carriage, alighted and kiss l ed the little girl.

Danger i'm Mountain Climbing.

Danger is by no means an attrac- tion to the true mountaineer. Some people may so affirm, but scarcely ever does an expert place himself in dan- gerous situation, and if he does it is not from choice, and he does not like it. Sometimes he may take a risk, but sell dom, unless all the chances are&n favor of the climbing party and the possibil- ity of accident exceedingly remote. What he does love is to eliminate by experience and skill all danger from climb, which, to novice, clumsy worker or party. unsupplied with or neglecting to use proper equipment for mountaineering would be hazard ous or quite impossible.-Leslie's Monthly.

CLAIMS BoER LANDS.
Heirs Want Mining Lands I'm the
 TransvaaF,


 TransvaaF.
 WASHINGTON, May 22,-Secretary Hay has presented to the British gov ernment the claims of the heirs of the late Charles Brown, an American civil engineer, for land grants in South Af- rica valued at $5,oO0,00O, of which. they contend, he was wrongfully de- prived by President Kruger of the Boer republic prior to the war.
 Mr. Brown located his claims, he de- clares, in conformity with Transvaal law.
 He was enabled to do this by adopt ing the methods of the American sooners," to the astonishment of the slow going Boers. His actions, how ever, were held to be within the law by decision of the supreme court of the Transvaal
 But President Kruger had little re- gard for the courts, it is testified, and sent for the chief justice and demand ed that he reverse the decision of the court. On the refusal of the justice to do so President Kruger promptly re- moved him from office and then va cated Browns title.
 Brown appealed to, the state depart ment, which had begun to move in the case, when the war broke. out. The claim then lay in abeyance
 Now 1t has been taken up afresh, but with this new complies ton, that there is no Boer, republic and that Eng land is the sovereign, 1t is question whether she can be held responsible for the misdoings of the Boers.
 The state department thinks the re- sponsibility does lie with England and has impressed this view on the British government.
