. one of the chief attractions in
Maine is the large amount Of game
in the state says Mr.. Johnston.
Perhaps that might be called Names
first industry. 1t is second in Colora-
do and California, and people familiar
with WashingtOn's advantages have
urged the state commission to make
a complete showing of our wild game
and beautiful scenery. We will do so
and I have no doubt the result will
be a big increase in the tourist travel

We secured space in the agricul-
ture horticulture, mining and forestry,
fisheries and game buildings that will
make Washington prominent in each
department. The space averages fif-

Our contract for the state build

a BRITISH AIRSHIP.

Within the next few weeks the air
ship which DR.. F. A. Barton has built
at the orders Of the British war Of
fee will undergo it's first test says
the Oregonian. In 1899 the war office
gave him an appropriation OF SZo,-
900 for this purpose, with the condl-
tons that the airship was to carry
three men with necessary apparatus
and fuel for three days; to keep IN the
air for that length of time: to have a
speed of not less than sixteen miles
an hour in a calm subsequently re-
duced to thirteen); to turn In circle
of 100 yards radius, and to be able %
ascend and descend without special
apparatus on the ground. The bal
loon is projectile shape, having ca
pacity Of 100000 square feet. 1t
supports a ship the framework OF
which is 127 feet long, the deck being
1913 feet long. The balloon itself is
the largest in the world, measuring
from tip to tip 40 feet. The ship
is made of bamboo rods and has
strength sufficient to carry 100 per
sons. There are three motors, each
of 5O-horsepower, placed on aluminium
bridges in the bow, stern and cen-er
OIL the ship. Motors and crew Will
make the ship weigh about seven tons.
For raising or lowering the ship thir-
y aeroplanes, 15x3 feet, are used
There will be six propellers. BY
means of water tanks which work au-
tomatically, it will be possible for the
crew to walk about the deck, as the
balance will be preserved.

JEWISH EMIGRATION

DR.. ANDREWS CONVERTED.
No Longer in Love With the Bryan
Free Silver Theory.

Lincoln. Ncb., May 24.-Frcc silver
has lost an advocate in the person of
DR.. F.. Benjamin Andrews, formerly
president of Brown University and now
chancellor of the University of Neb-
raska. Yesterday i'm an address before
the class in ethics DR.. Andrews practi-
cally announced that he no longer en-
tcrtaned the views he had oaCc held
concerning silver coinage.
In company with many others few
years ago, Councillor Andrews said he
had been mislead by the arguments of
public men, and particularly by those
of certain geologist of Europe who
after much study and investigation had
announced that the supply of gold was
being exhausted and the worlds mines
would soon cease to yield a sufficient
quantity of that metal. This made il
necessary that there be another stand
ard of value.
Time had proved the prophecy of the
geoloCist to be false. Instead Of lessen
ing. said the chancellor. the output of
gold has greatly increased and the sup
ply now seems ineXhaustible and as q
result. prices of commodities, instead of
going to a lower level, have constantly
appreciated.

tlon In still more favorable situation as
tar as the moving of cars is concerned.
twice as many cars were operated. today,
as yesterday and they were unequal to the
demands upon them. There was some
violence.
The police allowed the strikers to hold
a parade, this afternoon, and the parade
held up several cars, assaulted the motor
men and conductors and ill-treated the
two 1notormen are in the hospital. this
evening, seriously injured, and two Strili

IN front of Empire hall in which the
strikers meet, the strikers have been al
lowed to hold undisputed sway. Today.
every car which passed this corner had to
have way cleared for it through il yell
ing mob of men.
Once the police attempted to clear the
crowd and 10 men Were arrested and plac-
Ell III a patrol wagon. In an instant
mass OF strikers poured down upon the
wagon, unhitched the horses and liber
ated the prisoners.
On st. Denis street, at $50 this even
ing, crowd of strikers attacked car,
beating the motorman, y. David. He was
seriously injured.
One unpleasant feature of the affair is
that it appears to be in danger of becom-
ing a racial struggle. The men are at
East and West ends and should they sue
coed, bloodshed is not unlikely. The feel
ing is growing intensely bitter.
Ihe longShoremen, who only went back
TO work ~ days ago, are again growing
restless. They received but scant recog
milton of their union and claim that the
shippers are discriminating against them.
A meeting was held, today. at which a
strike was energetically supported, but
wiser counsel prevailed and in the end it
was agreed that the shippers should be
given few days in which to show a
more friendly disposition toward the

TO COUNT THE BONDS.
A Committee of Seven Detailed to Do
the Work.

Washington, May 24.-Ellis H. Rob-
erts. United States treasurer, who is
responsible for every dollar and every
bond in the treasury of the country,
has ordered detailed count of the
bonds in the bond vault of the Treasury
Department. A committee of seven
persons has been appointed to make
the count and the committee has begun
the work, which will probably take
five or six weeks. inasmuch as much
care and time are necessary in going
thoroughly over all the bonds, coupon
and registered, in possession of the
treasurer. The bond vault contains all
the bonds. mostly those of the United
States. that are held by the treasurer
in fruits for national banks as security
for either circulat ion of the banks or
public moneys deposited with them.
There are in the vaults about $685., $780,
300 of government bonds held as secur-
ity for the circulation of national banks
md about $156, 100000 held as security
for government money deposited with
he banks. In addition, the treasurer
holds about $36, 100000 bonds of the
Central Pacific railway to secure the
payment of notes given by the railway
% the treasury in settlement of the
.laims of the United States. These
notes were given several years ago and
are being paid off monthly There are
likewise some trust funds belonging to
he various departments held in the
vaults.
Treasurer Roberts said today that
here was no particular reason to make
he count except to exercise the proper
'aution and diligence in a matter of
such responsibility. There has been on
'ull count of the contents of the big
vault since Treasurer Roberts took
barge of his office six years ago. AT
hat time all the money and all the
ponds in every vault in the treasury
were counted. Partial counts have
since been made, but none of them
thorough.

CUT AND STABBED.
Armenian Found Dead in His Room in
New York City.

New York, May 24.-Garabed N Ken
tooni, an Armenian, was found dead.
Saturday morning, in his rooms at the
tenement house at 23S East Thirtieth
street. His throat had been cut, on his
body there were nine stab wounds, and
he had been struck upon the back of
the head and again on the back of the
neck.
There were features which might in
dictate that the crime was committed
by the same men that killed Madonna
Benedetto whose mutilated body was
recently found in a barrel.
Water dripping from the ceiling Of
the room below that occupied as a
sleeping room by Kentooni resulted in
the discovery of the murder. The as
sassin is believed to have stopped to
wash his hands after the crime and to
have left the water running.
In the room were two broken chairs,
indicating that Kentooni had made a
desperate struggle in defending his life
There were marks upon the wall to
show that even after being severely
wounded he had fought his antagonist.
At one side of the room was an open
trunk which had been rifled. The police
believe that papers We're distracted,
and in this they may find the clue for
which they are looking. Kentooni was
regarded as miser, with plenty of
money, and his murderer may have
been tempted by cupidity.
Kentooni had lived for nearly two
years in the house in which he met his
death. He once had room mate, a
candy maker, but the two quarrelled
and since then KentOoni had lived
alone. Across the narrow hall lives an
Italian shoemaker named Dilorenzo.
DilorenZo was not at home, today, and
no one could be found who knows
whore he works.
Three knives were used by the assas-
sin in his work. A sharp table knife
was used to make three wounds over
the heart. The minor cuts were done
with Il three bladed pocket knife, while
the wound in the throat was done with
a large carving knife. sharpened until
it had Il razor edge. All three knives
were found on tfe'loo of the room.

A BOOM FOR BARD.
California Would Like Vice Presiden
tiaI Candidate.

Washington, May 24.-The Pacific
coast has never had a vice-president.
Ist representation in the Cabinet has
been confined to Justice Mckenna, who
was President McKinley's first attor-
ney-general. The people of the Pacific
coast are ambitious, hustling citizens.
They strive for every big political con-
vention. and do everything possible to
advertise their section. "A feeling is
growing in that section that it has not
received sufficient political recognition.
and that the time has come to make a
hard fight for such recognition. 1t is
stated that during his visit to Cali
fornia the effort has been made to i'm
press the President with the Importance
of nominating citizen of California
for vice-president. The report comes
from the coast that the President has
been much impressed with the claims
of that section to recognition. and indi-
Gated that he would be very much
gratified if a Californian were nomi-
mated as his running mate. undoubt-
edly the President made some courte-
Gus remarks on that SUBJECTIVE could
not we'll do otherwise IN view of the
bounteous hospitality rendered him
but that he has committed himself 70
the proposition to give the coast repre-
sentation on the Presidential ticket is
another question. He would naturally
want to take into consideration the ma
terial that is available and determine
whether. Notwithstanding CALIFORNIA;
claims to consideration, it might not be
better to come little farther East and
nominate some one from the Mississippi
valley. The friends of Senator Bard of
California, are now booming him
earnestly for the vice-Presdency. They
argue that as President Roosevelt
comes from the Atlantic coast it is very
meet and proper that Senator Bard who
comes from the Pacific coast, should
be his running mate. And they argue
this is the more desirable, inasmuch as
the United States now has possessions
in the Pacific and is reaching out
earnestly for the control of the COM
merce of that great ocean. In view
of the earnestness with which Senator
Bard is being doomed it might not be
Surprising if he should be presented to
the next Republican convention and
supported, not only by the delegates
from the states west of the Rockies,
but by some of those on this side of the
Divide"

FISH AND lEPROSY.
Dr.. Hutchinson's Investigations Gives
New and Startling Facts.

London. May 25.-Dr. Joathan Hutch
inson. the well-known surgeon and
former president of the Royal College
of Surgeons, who recently returned
from a tour of investigation in India as
to the cause and prevention of leprosy,
has written n letter to the Times on the
subject of fish eating as a cause of
leprosy. He gives the opinion that the
Catholic fast days are responsible for
the spread of leprosy and that wherever
there is a risk of obtaining unsound
fish the use of fish on fast days ought
to be forbidden.
Wherever Catholic missions are sue
cessful. says DR.. Hutchinson, leprosy
increases. My calculation is that the
risk to Catholic convert is 20-fold Of
that of one who remains in the Hindoo
faith. If I dare trust my figures. it
may possibly in Bengal reach 90-fold.
