Assassin Declines to Give His Nam,

st. Petersburg, July 29.-The man
who was arrested yesterday for explod-
ing the bomb which killed the Minister
of the Interior, NJ. Plehve, and several
others, while the minister was driving to
the Baltic station, still declines to give
his name or tell anything about himself
His only statements: 81 have performed
an act of Justice for which / will have
glory. | have no accompices, but if
the government perseveres in the same
policy Plehve's successor will meet the
same fate as Plehve and his predecessor"
London, July 29.-Prominent Jews
in London are not entirely free from
fears for the worst regarding the assas-
sination of the Russian Minister of the
Interior, NJ. Plehve, in st Petersburg
They state that the deceased had lately
been engaged in formulating measures
which would prove favorable to the Jews.
They also pointed out that a commits
sion was recently appointed to consider
their grievances and the rights of resi-
dence has been somewhat extended. M.
Plehve, fit is declared, had been consider
ing the project OF settling the Jews in
Manchuria, but now it is feared that il
Lieutenant General Won Vail is ap-
pointed to succeed NJ. Plehve an op-
pressiye regime will be callously applied.
General Won VAIL is at present the Gov
ernor of the province of wilma. He
was formerly chief of police of St.
Petersburg and was removed because he
had great deal of trouble with the
students there. In May, 1902, an at
tempt was made to assassinate Won VAIL
at wilma, but he escaped with only
slight wounds in the lief. hand and right
foot The attack was evidently inspired
by political motives.
st. Petersburg, July 29.-It is stated
that the name of NJ. Plehve's assassin is
Poroznof and that his home is in south
ern Russia.

DEWEY IDRA OF SHIPS PREVAIL.
House Committee Goes on Record for
Heavy Fighting Vessels.

Washington, Feb. 8. - Admiral
Dewey's suggestions in favor of heavy
fighting ships for the navy prevailed
today with the house committee on
naval affairs over the recommendation
of the general board, submitted by Sec
retary Moody. The naval appropria-
tion bill was completed by the commit
tee, after a hearing granted Admiral
Dewey. It carried an aggregate appro-
priation of sos, 100000. The ships
authorized are one battleship, two
armored cruisers, three scout cruisers
and two squadron colliers. The appro-
priation of $500, 900 made last year for
two submarine boats was reappropri-
ated, the boats to be purchased in the
discretion of the secretary of the navy.
This building program gives total
of A 900 tons of heavy fighting ships,
as compared with $4,000 tons last year.
The heavy construction provided will
cost $21, 1,750. 900, while the lighter
construction will bring the cost of the
building program up to $2S, 100000.
Provision was made for an armor-
plate factory to cost $4,000, 900, which
the secretary of the navy is authorized
to construct, in case he cannot secure
armor from private bidders at a reason
able price. An addition of 5000 men
is authorized to the personnel of the
navy.

Behold 1 come!
Footsore, and very heavy-laden
Because OF love for one small maiden.
My lips are dumb,

Thou knowst this little maid Of mine.
This dainty sweet,
So pure and fair that when she passes
Our gray old world grows green with
Beneath her feet;
That everywhere her dear face shows
The west wind takes 1t for a rose
Just newly born.
o grant, sweet Saint, that to her know
ing
But fragrance soft and bloom be showing,
Give me the thorn!
oh, Phyllis fair! Oh, Phyllis young.
would mine were poets tongue
That might sue;
That might sing in golden numbers
To wake your heart from out its slumbers-
My love for you.
Yet-no. dear heart! The years will bring
A sweeter song than could sing;
So slumber on.
When he shall come-that happy lover,
And / am gone.

FOES TO AMERICA
POWERS TRIED TO HOLD UP THE
PANAMA CANAL TREATY.
Germany Tried to Get an Island, Which
Would Give Her Practical Control of
the Route-France Was Also Active
Official Correspondence Sent to the
Senate Dlscloses the Fact.

Washington, Feb. 8.-The interfer-
ence of foreign governments to prevent
the ratification of the Hay-Herran
treaty between the governments of the
United States and Colombia is clearly
proven by the correspondence just sent
to the senate in confidence by the pres
ident and in response to the Culberson
resolution.
The documents include dispatches
passing between Ministers Hart and
Beaupre, at Bogota, and the state de-
partment relative to the Hay-Herran
treaty, the reasons for it's rejection,
and the meddling of those represent
ing foreign governments. Among
these documents are cablegrams calcu-
lated to prove that Germany sought to
acquire from Colombia an island in the
harbor of Cartagena for coaling sta
tion, Notwithstanding the Monroe doc
trine. This island would enable that
power to virtually control the canal
when constructed. Minister Hart
promptly notified the state department
of these negotiations.
There are also dispatches intended
to show that there was secret interfer-
ence at Bogota by representatives of
European nations, notably Germany
and France, to prevent the ratification
of the treaty. Others indicate that a
representative went to Berlin for the
purpose of seeking to sell, either to the
German government direct, or to a
syndicate of capitalists representing
the government, the shares of stock
owned by Colombia in the new Panama
canal company, and to encourage the
purchase of that company's concess-
ions and property by syndicate COM
posed of British, German and French
fnanciers.
1t is indicated that the assembling of
a large American feet in caribbean
waters was first brought by anticipated
action from the French government in
sending warships to Colon to protect
the canal property, representations
having been made at Paris that it
would be threatened by revolution on
the isthmus. There is further CORES
pondence indicating the apprehension
of the American representative at Bo-
gotta that some of the European powers
would attack Colombia, or possibly
seize the neutral zone because of un-
paid debts.

Forehanded Ranchers Alone are Saving
Stock by Dry Feed.

Eugene-Stockraiser in this county
are beginning to realize that winter
feeding is necessary even in an unusu.
ally mild winter like the present
This month and next are the months
when the greatest losses occur on the
ranges, and from all reports the losses
will be almost as great this winetr as
in those winters when we have had
snow and freezing weather.
Until few weeks past cattle have
been getting along fairly we'll without
dry feed, but now feeding is general
except in cases where the farmers have
no reserve supply, and in such cases
stock is being lost. In some sections
of the county quite number OF cattle
have died from exposure and INSULT
cient nourishment, the pastures being
eaten down to the roots and no hay to
pitch to the hungry brutes.
This is only beginning, and before
the end of March many of the stacks
of hay will be exhausted, and stock
men realize that considerable losses
will be sustained. Cattle which have
been running in the foothills of the
Cascades, and which did we'll until a
month ago, have now been driven
down to the valley by the SHOWS, and
they are dependent on dry feed.
