London, May 6.-Except as to- the
number killed, which is now said to
exceed 100, the latest kilograms and
mail adviees from Salonica fully con-
firm the previous reports of the serious
nature of the outbreak there. Advant-
age seems to have been taken of the
fact that the Turks had relaxed their
precautions, and the garrison was SER
iously depleted, amounting TO only 400
soldiers. The first mine that was ex-
ploded cut the principal gas main and
plunged the city in darkness. Then
the Ottoman bank and other buildings
were attacked with bombs. as air. ad y
has been described Soldiers were hur-
ried up to the scene of the disorder.
They fired wild volleys, but many of
their attackers were killed or wounded
by the explosion of their own bombs.
Attempts at throwing bombs are now
being dealt with summarily. at noon
Sunday man disguised as a Turkish
priest tried to throw a bomb into the
telegraph Office at SaIonica. He was
apprehended and executed on the SPOT.
The authorities continue to make
arrests, and many Bulgarians disguised
as Turkish officers are being seized
Among those arrested are professors in
the Bulgarian school, who are alleged
to have been at the head of the revo-
lutionary movement.
Edib Pasha, who arrived in salonica
last Saturday to carry out the decree of
martial law, has issued a proclamation,
stating that the sultan has ordered him
to deal severely with all persons guilty
of outrages.
At Uskub, European Turkey, the po-
lice have seized stores of dynamite in
the houses of the Bulgarian settlers.
The news that Germany has sent a
warship to Salonica has led the Aus
trian newspapers to discuss the proba-
bility of European Intervention. In
both Berlin and Vienna, however, semi
official statements have been issued ex-
planning that the object of sending the
ships of war is solely the protection of
foreign subjects, and that the vessels
will be withdrawn as soon as the danger

Work Also Covers Laws, Executive Or
ders and Prociamations.
Washington, May 6.-The govern
ment printing office has just issued two
quarto volumes entitled, 'tIndian
Affairs, Law and Treaties," compiled
by direction of congress by Charles L..
Happier. clerk in the senate commit
tee on Indian affairs. The volumes
contain every treaty made by the Unit
ed States with the Indians, and all the
laws, executive orders and proclama-
tions relating to the Indians up to De-
cember /, 1902. together with statistics
of tribes, trust funds, etc.
The commissioner of Indian affairs,
in his annual reports, has urged for
some years that such a compilation be
made for the reason that the laws and
orders relating to the Indians were
scattered through great number of
documents, making it exceedingly diff
cult to pe sure that one bad before it
all legislation on any given question
relative the Indians. The present
compilation is indexed carefully, and
in it's general arrangement follows the
form of the statutes at large.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
WILL FIGHT THE RESERVE.
Southern Oregon Citizens Readily Sign
Protesting Petitions.

Protesting Petitions.
A jealous protest is being made by
the citizens of Josephine ard Curry
counties against the establishment of
the great forest reserve, embracing
nearly half of Curry and all of Western
and Southern josephine, as we'll as part
of Douglas. Josephine would be
blocked in, 80 to speak, and Curry
would be placed in position whereby
its advancement would be matter OF
difficulty.
Just at this time, when prosperity
seems to bs heading this way, capital
is becoming interested, new people
Ginning in, and new Industries being
established, il is hard blow both to
Josephine and Curry, Sd the citizens
claim who are opposing the measure,
10 establish a forest reserve of so vast
dimensions. The argumen mt made that
streams are drying up by reason of the
removal of trees, seems not we'll fou, d.
ed. But few, if any trees, have been
removed In that section, not enough by
any means to affect the flow of water in
the creeks and streams. Even the
miners, who need the water the most,
oppose the establishment of the reserve.
Petitions, begging that the matter of
estab ishing the reserve b reconsid-
cred, or that the tract be not with.
drawn, are being circulated in seph-
inc and Curry coun les, and are being
liber~ll signed.

SPARK STARTS EXPLOSION.
Four Persons Killed and Many Injured at
Cleveland

SzCNCfdHus
Cleveland, o., May 5.-An explosion
that caused death and, destruction oc-
CURED in the torpedo plant of the Thor
manufacturing company at 647 Orange
street this afternoon. Thus far four
! persons are dead, while 27 others are
lying in hospitals. some fatally and
others more or less seriously injured.
The Thor manufacturing company is
engaged in the manufacture of toy tor
pedo canes and other explosives. The
company was in the midst of its busiest
season. and extra girls were being en-
ployed.
Ihe force OF the explosion was tre-
mendous, and windows within radius
OF a quarter OF a mile were broken. In
house on Orange street next to the
factory lived Maurice Cohen, his wife
and eight children. With the collapse
OF the house simultaneously with the
explosion the woman and four children
were caught in the falling partitions
and all were horribly bruised. All
were taken out unconscious. Three of
this family are dead.
The fire which caused the explosion
originated in a peculiar manner. The
torpedo caps are filled in molds and
there is constant danger of some loose
powder, supposed to be illuminate Of
mercury, dropping ON the floor. For
this reason the girls and boys who are
employed in the factory are compelled
tc remove their shoes while at work so
as to avoid striking sparks. The ex-
piosion was due to the frolicsome pro-
pensities of new girl, who had. been
employed at the plant less than week.
Some of the girls had their shoes on
at the lunch hour, and one pIayfully
showed another. AS the girl slid
along the floor her shoes struck spark
IN some loose powder. Instantly the
floor was aplaze. The flames were
easily subdued by the fremen after
the explosion, as there was nothing
left OF the factory but pile of debris.
The property loss will not exceed
$4,000.

No Coup by Russia,

Washington, May 6.-The Chinese
minister called upon Secretary Hay to-
day and discussed the Manchurian sit
uation. There is good reason to be-
lieve that the negotiations have taken
more favorable turn, and that the
Russian coup which was expected has
either been abandoned or been indefi
nite.y postponed. It is understood
that this involves no retreat on the
part of the Russian government from
any position officially taken.

ment not to submit thereto. The par

the council tomorrow. This report will
insist upon further investigation of
the consolidation scheme, which the
committee contends will raise fares.

NEW MAP OF ALASKA,
Government Publishes First Contour rIap
With Recent Data.

Washington, May 5.-A new map of
Alaska on scale of 40 miles to the inch
has just been completed by the United
States geological survey. 1t is the first
contour map of Alaska yet made, the
reief being shown by contour lines rep
resenting vertical intervals of 1000
feet. In the construction of this map,
which was prepared by E. G. Barnard,
topograpner, all available information
was used. The maps of the United
States coast and geodetic survey, cov-
erlng Southeastern Alaska and the
coast were extensively utilized. With
IN the coast line the ma p is based prin-
cipally on surveys and reconnaissance
maps made by the geological survey.
Other sources of Information were the
maps of the army, the navy, the reve-
nue. marine service and the British gov
ernment. After all the authoritative
data had been used there still remained
large areas where the topographic feat
ures had to be based upon such general
information as could be obtained.
The map will be printed in colors,
the streams, lakes and glaciers being
shown in blue, the cultural features in
black, and the contour lines in brown.
The characteristic features of Alaska
topography are we'll shown by the map.
At one glance one sees the deep. river
like fiords in the southeastern. part;
the bold, almost preciritious, front
presented to the Moth Pacific ocean by
the st. Elias range; the deep interior
valleys, scarcely more than thousand
feet above the sea; the Alaskan range,
with its eliminating peak, Mount Nc
Kinley, 10000 feet in altitude; the
great valley CT the Yukon, with its
tundras sloping to Behring sea; the
Endicott range, dividing the Yukon
valley from the tundras sIoping to the
Arctic ocean; and the great horn of
the Aleutian islands, reaching at Attu
island to the other side of the world,
in longitude l72 degrees east, almost
the longitude OF Auckla land, New: Zea

BIO COAL POOL FORMING.
Gates and Frick are After Lands of the
Choctaw Indians.

Choctaw Indians.
South McAlester, l. T., May 6.-Big
fnanciers of the East, headed by H. C.
Frick, of Pittsburg, and John w.
Gates, of Chicago, are forming a pool
to get possession of all the coal lands
in the Choctaw nation. There are
440, 900 acres in the Choctaw nation,
which will be sold at public auction
and the proceeds divided among the
Choctaws according to the act of con-
gress. The price agreed upon by the
Frick- Gates syndicate is $25 per acre.
It is not the intention of the syndi-
cate to disturb the present mining
companies, either large or small, or
their coal leases. All that the Eastern
Gnanciers want is the undeveloped coal
lands. They will let the companies
now mining coal buy the land covered
by their leases, but no mere. If some
of the independent mining concerns
are not able to buy the land which they
now have leased the syndicate will buy
it for them and allow them to operate
it on a royalty of cents ton, as they
are now paying the Indians.
Some of the men in the syndicate
will purchase the land for development,
while others will hold it for speculative
purposes. Frick is to get the land
along the Fort Smith & Western rail.
road, which he owns. Gates wants a
tract of land in the eastern part of the
Choctaw country, which carries a quail
ity of coal especially suited for coking
George Gould is to get a
large tract IN the vicinity of South
cAiester.

HAWAII is CRITICISED.
Expert on Leprosy Holds It's Treatment
of Disease Ali Wrong.

OF DiSeaSe All wrong.
Honolulu, May 6.-The legislative
committee which visited the leper set
tlement has made its report, submitting
with its onw findings long and sensa-
tional statement made py DIR. A. L.
Alvarez, a physician, who went to
Molokai with the committee as expert.
The doctor very severely criticises
Hawaii's system of segregation and
makes the statement that out of 81
supposed lepers examined by him some
time ago 16 were entirely free from the
disease and should be at liberty. The
segregation system, the report says,
leads those who have leprosy and their
relatives to conceal the fact, in order
that they may avoid being sent to
Molokai. DR.. Alvarez approves the
system of segregation in vogue in Nor
way.
The legislative committee recon-
mends the establishment of a large
hospital on the island of Oahu, and the
employment Of DR.. Alvarez as physi-
clan in charge. 1t is also recommend
ed that medical commission be se-
cured to 60 to the settlement and ex-
anime all the doubtful cases, releasing
those who have not the disease.

MORE TIME IN BUTTE STRIKE.
Continuance in Hearing of Injunction Is
Granted Western Union.


Butte, May Ga continuance has
been granted by the Federal court to
the American labor union in the hear
ing on the injunction granted to the
Western Union telegraph company, re-
straining all members of the union
from interfering in any way with the
business of the company. The hearing
has been continued until May 1S, at
which time the court will decide
whether the order shall be allowed to
stand and be made permanent or with
drawn. Attorneys have been secured
by the Trades and Labor assembly to
fight the matter OUT in the courts.
It was announced at the Offices of the
American Labor union today that no
further action is to be taken in the
affair until after the court has rendered
a decision. Since the injunction was
issued the messengers of the Western
Union company have been unmolested
and there has been no attempt to in
timidate them or persuade them to quit
the serice.
The "unfair" banner which was
placed in the street in front of the
Western Unoin Office for several weeks
has been taken away.

GOOD WORK OF BUREAU.
Hartman Lines are Turning Thoughts
of Thousands to Oregon.

6. M. Mckinney, who has charge OF
the immigration department of the
Hartman lines, met with the real es-
tate dea ers of Salem to discuss matters
relating to his work. He explained the
plan of his department and talked with
the real estate men concerning the
methods of advertising that they must
rely upon to draw immigration to this
state. That Oregon is now the most
widely talked of state in the Union is
the declaration he made, after telling
how tie resources Of this state have
been advertised through the immigra-
tion buresu. AS an Indication OF ~hat
has been done for the Willamette val
ley, he said t1at since his department
has been working between 1000 and
5 900 one-way railway tickets have
been used by Eas tern peope, who came
to the valley and did not 60 away
again.
He said that the immigration bureau
of the Hartman lines is the most per-
feet enterprise of the kind ever organ-
re aches in the most effective manner
those pers,,n- who are the most desira-
be immigrants. Within seven months
after he began work his department.
had aced the literature advertising
this state into the hands of 1000, 900
people. The bureau has placed in the
field six lecturers, with stereopticon
views showing scenes illustrating the
resources and indu tries of Oregon, and
there lecturers are addressing Eastern
audiences four evenings a weeK. Six
immigration agents in the different
sections of the middle West are giving
their whole time to disseminating in
formation regarding thi' state, super
vising the distribution of literature to
those who are most likely to come to
this state, and aiding scores of Eastern
real estate men who are encouraging
Western immigration.
By means of this vigorous policy the
people of the Eastern states have been
interested in Oregon, with the result
that there is more talk of this state as
desirable place for home-seekers than
there is of any other state.

COLLIDE AT SEA.
Ocean Liners Meet in a Dense Fog, and
Twenty Lives are Lost.

A"~hSy AA'~S ~~A~
Norfolk, Va, May LA collision at
sea that cost the lives of To- or more
people and the sinking OF the Clyde
steamship Saginaw by the Old Domin-
ion steamship Hamilton occurred be-
tween Winter quarters lightship and
Fenwick island lightship, on the Vir.
ginia coast at 4:4O Oo'clock this morning.
A dense fog settled along the shore
shortly after nightfall, and while going
through the fog at reduced speed the
Hamilton crashed into the Saginaw's
side about 20 feet from the stern.
The fog whistles of both vessels we're
distinctly heard by each other for sev-
eral minutes before the collision oc-
Cured. According to Captain Boaz, of
the Hamilton, his ship was making
about nine miles an hour. and the Sag
inaw about ten. The fog was 60 thick
that objects ships length away were
invisible, and when the two crafts hove
in sight of each other, bow on, there
was but moment interim before they
met.
:. The inrushing water caused the Sagi-
nav to settle rapidly at the stern, and
the impetus OF the Hamilton took her
out of sight of the crippled vessel.
The engines, already reversed, we're
put full steam to the rear, and the
Hamilton circled the scene of the wr ok,
at the same time lowering two lifeboats.
There was consternatien among the pas.
sengers-o OF the Olds Dominion ship, and
the first thought was fer their safety,
but as soon as it was discovered that
the ship was uninjured save that some
bow plates were 8 owe in all efforts were
directed to the rescne of those on the

New York, May 6.-The strike of
Italian rock drillers and diggers took a
more serious turn in the Bronx today,
so policemen being sent to keep order
along the excavation for water mains
where men are working in the strikers
places. The police were picKeted along
the excavation and all Italians near it
and not working were ordered to move.
Bands of Italians. however, marched by
and shouted harshly at the men in
their places.
Agent Landau, of the Italian labor
union, said there were 15 900 men on
strike in this city, and that all work in
the Bronx would be stopped.
A big box of explosives, which was
in shanty for the excavating work in
the Bronx, was ordered buried by the
police, and two Guards we're stationed
near to watch it.
Encouraged by the action of the Cen
tral Federated union in endorsing their
demands, the laborers employed on the
subway remained on strike today and
the tie-up of work was complete.

PEAK OVERHANGS TOWN.
People Warned to Keep Away From Tur-
tie Mountain.

Vancouver, B. c., May GA COM
mittee of the board of trade examined
Turtle mountain this morning and
decided to warn people to keep at
safe distance for at least a week so
that the town will be absolutely de-
serted for a time at least. The reason
for this conclusion is that an immense
peak of Turtle mountain is now over
hanging the southern part of the town.
Its fall might destroy the remaining
buildings in the town, although exper-
fenced mining men believe that another
slide would spread over the valley, de-
stroying the buildings of the coal COM
pany at the base OF the mountain but
not overwhelming the town proper.
