AFTER PRESIDENT
CRAZY MAN ATTEMPTS TO ENTER
WHITE HOUSE.
Was Heavily Armed and Fought the Of
ficers Like a Demon-One Officer
Hurt I'm Making Arrest-PronouDced
Insane and Placed In Asyium-Was
Also Wounded i'm Fight.

Washington, Oct. IA desperate
nd-to. hand encounter with an al med
insane man, who was determined to
see President Roosevelt in the vestibule
of the White House occurred shortly
before noon today. The man, who
gave his name as Peter Elliot, and his
home as Minneapolis, was overpoweled
by the officers on duty at the White
House entrance and carried to police
van which had been summoned. He
was placed in the van in the custody of
two officers.
Seeming to realize then, fer the first
time, that he was under arrest, Elliot
began furious struggle with his capt
ors for liberty. He drew a revolver
and attempted to shoot Officer James
Ciscle. The officer grabbed his hand
and wrenched the weapon from his
grasp. Elliott's struggles were so
fierce, however, that the two officers in
the cramped quarters of the van were
unable to overcome him. Officer Cis-
Gle then drew his revolver and fred two
shots to attract attention.
Chief Usher Thomas Stone, and Off,
Ger Parker, o. the White House force,
who had assisted in carrying Elliot to
the van, attracted by the shots, rushed
back to the vehicle and assisted in
overpowering him. In struggle with
in the van Elliot had broken a glass
panel with his head, severely cutting
his head and face. Officer Ciscle sus-
tained a serious cut on mis- right arm,
two inches of flesh being cut out of the
feshy part of the arm. He suffei ed
considerably from loss of blood, but his
injuries are not serious. The van was
hurried to the emergency hospital,
where the injuries of both Ciscle and
Elliot we're dressed.
Late this afternoon the police sur
geons, after a careful examination of
Elliot, certified that he was insane.
An order was issued for his removal to
the st. Elizabeth hospital for the in
sane. He was removed late this after
noon without trouble.

Presage of thrush of Eastern People
This Fall.
One of the largest real estate deals
OF the season for Linn county was con-
summated in Albany by s. N. Steele &
Co., real estate dealers. The sale con-
sisted of the large Jacob Roth farm of
230 acres near Albany, and the consid.
GRAFTON was $16, 900. Carl ~Salzmann,
from Minnesota, purchased the land
and will farm it in the most up-to. date
and approved manner.
This is considered by real estate men
as the beginning of the fall sales, which
are expected to be the best in years.
The indications are that the immigra-
tion this fall will exceed that of last
spring. Many communications have
been received from the eastern and
middle states during the summer both
by real estate men and those who have
recently come to the Coast, and the let
ters all contain inquiries as to the pros.
poets of getting good farms, what the
prices Tor land are, and a general re-
quest is made for q general description
of conditions.

STRIKE Is COSTLY.
Colorado Troops Cost State $50, 900
Per Month

Denver, Oct. 6.-Strikes and lockouts
at the mines in Cripple Creek and other
gold mining districts in Colorado have
already reduced the mineral production
of the state this year at least $2,5OO,-
OOO, and ii the present conditions OBJ
tain until the first of the year, the pro-
duction will fall more than ST 900, 900
below what it would have been under
normal conditions. In consequence of
the strike, 900, soldiers of the Colo.
RADIO national guard have been doing
police duty in Cripple Creek Tor four
weeks, and as yet neither the mineown-
ers nor the strikers shcw any evidence
of weakening. The cost to the state of
maintaining the military force in the
field is estimated at $4,000 month
The unsettled conditions in the min
ing industry are due to the failure of
the legislature to enact an eight hour
law applying to mines, mills and smelt-
ers after the voters of the state had
adopted a constitutional amendment
authorizing such an enactment An
eight hour day had been generally
granted at the mines, and the Western
federation of miners determined to en-
force the same condition in mills and
smelters Strikes were inaugurated last
June at the smelters in this city and
the mills in Colorado City, and eight
weeks ago 4 1000 miners in the Cripple
Creek district were ordered by the exc.
cutfve officers of the fedora alton to 90
on strike in support of the demand for
an eight hour day for mill and smelter
employees, which had been refused by
the American smelling and refining
company and the United States reduc-
tion and refining company. The min
ers obeyed the order reluctantly, as
they had no grievance as to their own
ncura of la Dor or wages.

EASY ON RUSSIA.

Japan Will Not Force Manchurian Issue
at Present.
London, Oct. NO apprehension
exists in the minds of the British gov
ernment or the diplomatists in London
that the far Eastern situation will
bring forth any immediate serious de-
velopments. This feeling of temper
ary security on the eve of the day that
Russia should, but admittedly, will
not evacuate Manchuria, is due to as
surance on the part of Japan that as
long as the negotiations now proceed
ing between herself and Russia present
reasonable prospect that settlement
will be reached, Japan will take no hos
tile action to Russia in the matter of
Manchuria.
It is further learned that these ne
gotiations, looking to a final settle
ment of the Russo Japanese spheres of
influence in the far Fast and especially
dealing with the situation in Corea,
are progressing satisfactorily at Toxic.
No treaty, however, has yet been
signed and it is unlikely that the nego-
tiations will be concluded by October g.,
the date on which Russia was to evac-
uate Manchuria. Russia's failure to
evacuate Manchuria on that day, how
ever, will not precipitate diplomatic
crisis, as Japan rather than break off
the negotiations covering broadly all
the Issues between herself and Russia
is willing to strain point regarding
Manchuria in the hope of arriving at a
satisfactory settlement. In all of this
the British government acquiesces.

WILL PUSH INDIAN CLAIMS.
Klamath Tribe Council Appoints Commit
tee of Three.


tee of Three.
Rev. Jesse Kirke, who is a leader
among the Klamath Indians, was in
Ashland recently and brought the first
news that has been given out in regard
to the recent council of the klamath
Indians to take action in regard to the
pushing of the claims of these Indians
for reimbursement by congress in the
sum of a little over $500, 900 fer lands
lost to the Indians by reason of errors
in reservation boundaries.
The council was attended by 100
heads of Indian families and Kirke,
Henry jackson and William Crawford,
all well-to-do members of the tribe,
were elected to represent the Indians at
the National capitol and were empow-
cred to employ counsel to further the
claim from the government during the
coming session of congress and one, or
possibly all three of them, will go on
to Washington in December.
Resolutions were also passed against
the states claim to swamp lands with.
in the reservation, which, it is said, if
granted, would throw 400 Indians out
of allotments.

HURLED TO DEATH.
Explosion in Illinois DistilIery Costs
Seven Lives.


Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. 6.-Seyen men were
killed and five others injured by an ex-
plosion at Cornings' distillery here. to-
day. One large section of the five story
building was Shrown into the air by the
bursting of copper cylinder 20 feet in
length and eight feet in diameter.
Every man who was in the building at
the time of the explosion was instantly
killed, the injured being men who were
on the outside.
The great cylinder of copper crashed
through the east wall of the cooker
room, and on through the mill as
though the wall had been tissue paper.
shot in an ooTique and downward course
through the air, cut down a large tree
in its flight, scattered pile of lumber
as if beams and timbere had been so
many straws, and landed 200 feet away
from the start of it's fight.
Three or four walls of the building
were blown out. Great gaps were rent
in them from top to bottom, pulling
the roof with them, and underneath
that mass of brick, mortar, baems and
twisted machinery lies the corpse OF
enc of the men, which may not be got
out for day or two.
Nobody has clear idea of what
caused the explosion. The damage to
the building and machinery is estimated
at about 500, 900, and it will be three
months before the plant is in operation
again.

Preparations to Build.
W. A. Brandebury, the Albany lum.
ber dealer, who has come across the
mountains to look after interests in the
region of Bend, says there is every evil
dence along the line of the Corvallis &
Eastern of preparations for extending
the road to Bend. Four sawmills are
engaged in turning out railroad ties,
which are purchased by the Corvallis
& Eastern and piled along the track for
miles. The mills report that they
have sawed more of these ties in the
past six months than in six years be-
fore and but few have been shipped out
to market.
The roadbed CT the Corvallis & East.
ern has long been graded for distance
of IA miles east of the crest of the Cas-
cades and the short tunnel necessary
has been bored halt way through the
backbone. The Corvallis & Eastern
was mortgaged five years ago for some
thing like $2,000,0OO, but the bonds
were never issued. It is said that ev-
erything is ready for an advance on
short notice.
Some of the officials of the company
have been making investments in the
vicinity of the survey on this side of
the mountains, which is regarded as
significant.

Salmon Running in the Necanicum.

Fall fishing has commenced on the
Necanicum river, and good run of sill
versides is said to be coming in. Ac-
cording to reports, someone has
stretched a net across the stream near
the lower bridge. This is contrary to
the state law, which provides that no
net shall extend more than one third
the way across any stream. David
Hansen, one of the owners of the Ne
canicum salmon cannery, is at Seaside,
making preparations to begin operating
the cannery next week. He expects to

Governor Chamberlain will leave Ore
gon in few days for Washington, D..
G. The purpose of his proposed trip
is to talk with the president, the secre.
tary of the interior and officials of the
general land Office concerning land mat
ters in Oregon. He desires to secure
what information he can at Washing
ton regarding past and present land
transactions so far as Oregon is inter-
ested. He finds that correspondence is
a very slow and unsatisfactory way of
getting information, and by brief trip
to Washington he expects to get pref
ty thorough general understanding of
the principal features of public land
matters.
It is not certain that he will make
the trip, but that is his intention if he
can get away.

the Spirit of the Hagua Court.
The Hague, Oct. 6.-At the opening
of today's session of the Venezuelan ar
bitration court, Muravieff, the presid-
ing officer, read kilograms from Queen
Wilhelmina and the czar, thanking the
court for its good wishes to them at the
primary sitting.
The court announced that it had de-
cided that briefs and other documents
should be delivered before October 18,
and that replies should be handed in
by November %. The court will hear
the arguments of counsel Novembe 4.
Wayne MacVeagh opened today in
behalf of Venezuela. He said that the
only question of international law in
volved was whether strong powers in
extorting money by aggressive and ego
tistic war from weaker power, have
the right of preferential treatment as
recompense for their action, or whether
all creditor nations sthall share equal
ly. The spirit of The Hague conven-
tion, Mr.. MacVeagh contended, was to
protect the weak against the strong.

He says they are not considering a

they could not think of selling, as was

with his parents, returning to that city
to practice law after his graduation
from Yale in 1869. Three years later
he formed partnership with Lyman
K. Bass, Grover Cleveland being ad-
mitted to the firm after it had been in
existence year. The name then be-
came Base, Cleveland & Bissell, con-
tinuing until Mr.. Cleveland was
elected president and Mr.. Bass went to
