Rome May ia secret report re-
ceiyed from st. Petersburg depicts the
internal situation Of Russia az becom-
ing most serious as regards the preeer-
vation Of the present institutions, the
military failures In the Far East hax-
ing strengthened the opinion that the
evils are due to the present organiza-
tion Of the country in which a change
Is necessary.
The hope is expressed that the EN-
peror himself, seeing the danger, will
be induced to grant the country con.
stitution In which even the enthusiasm
OF the people will become 60 great as
to render it possible to raise an army
and collect the means necessary to de-
feat Japan. Otherwise, the report
says, it is believed all the efforts made
at st. Petersburg will remain futile, as
besides the war in the Far East, Rus
sia will be obliged to face a latent, II
not an open revolutionary movement at
home, depriving her of the assistance
Of the most progressive elements OF the
empire such as the Toles and Pinns.

Urges Car to End Il.

Berlin. May 16.--It is rumored in
diplomatic circles here that there is a
strong possibility Of an attempt being
made TO end the war in the Far East
soon. The rumor, which is circum-
stantial in character. declares the war
party in Russia has urged the czar to
end the war.
The alleged basis Of settlement is to
be the independence of Corea under the
protectorate Of Japan, while Manchuria
is to remain Chinese territory. In
secret treaty between China and Japan,
the integrity Of Manchuria was guaran-
teed by the latter, so it is argued that
Japan should not object to the propo-
sition. Russia, it is said, wishes to
come to an understanding with Japan
Independently Of England.

Misaoula, May 16.-Word frcm LoIo
Hot Springs, which has iust reached

ore made by Joseph Eberly and part
ner, prospectors in the employ Of ex-
Governor Mcconnell, of Idaho. The
scene of the rich discovery is in the
Lockjaw creek section, the men having
been encamped ON the Lockjaw stream
for some time.
The account of the find as related by
the men is wondrous one. the mann
moth copper lead uncovered bidding
fair to make a second Butte in that sec
tion. According to the story Of the
proepectors the ore found is Of high
grade sulphide character, in appaT-

surface it is believed the Lockjaw coun.
try is traversed by a number Of cuprous
leads, all OF which it is thought carry
enough Of the red metal to make its exc
traction profitable.

WASHINGTON BILLS TO WIN.



Washington, May 1.-THE record
Of the Washington delegation for the
session just closed does not compare
very favorably with that Of the deIega-
tion from Oregon, nevertheless, the
failure Of the men from Washington
ie largely attributable 70 the fact that
the leaders In congress used every
means within their power to hold down
appropriations, and 10 prevent the pas
sage Of all but necessary legislation.
Washington has no Lewis and Clark
bill, but loyalty supported the men
from Oregon in their efforts TO secure
the passage Of their bill. There was
ne way in which Oregon could recipro.
cate. 70 Washington had 70 take the
responsibility for local legislation al.
together on Its own shoulders, with
the result set forth below.
During the session just closed Sena.
tor Foster introduced 20 public bills,
most Of them Of local importance Il
the state Of Washington. Out of that
number, five we're passed by both
houses, either as independent measures,
or as amendments to appropriation
bills; four passed the senate, but failed
in the house; six were fagoraably re-
ported to the senate, but did not pass,
and the others we're never even report
ed by committees.
The BILLS that finally passed author
ize the sale of Puyallup allotted lands;
grant lands to Port Angeles for use az q
public park; allow vessels Of less than
30 tons burden to engage in trade be-
tween Puget sound and the islands Of
British Columbia; made appropriation
for the new Dungeness lighthouse sta

lands, made by the Northern Pacific.

Death of Mrs. Sarah M. johnson,

Mrs. Sarah NJ. Johnson died at her
home on Academy street, Monday
evening, after a brief illness. She had
had a severe cold for several days, but
had been about much the same as usu-
al. The end was very sudden, death
occurring only a few moments after re-
firing. She was born in Windsor, Aug,
s, 1917, and was therefore, over 81 years
old. She was the daughter of Isaac
and Mary Marsh and came to Halo
well when Is years old. She was mar
ried in 1874 to Samuel w. johnson and
three children were born to them. The
eldest, David H., in business in this
city, survives. Mary dying in 1871, aged
%, and Samuel dying in infancy. Mr..
Johnson died in 1860.
The deceased will long be remem-
bered for the grace and goodness
which combined to make an acquaint-
enceship with her constant and profit
able. She possessed many rare qualities
and was we'll beloved by all her friends.
She had been a lifelong Christian,
having been a member Of the old Free
Baptist church. Mrs. Claribel john
son, a relative by adoption, has made
her home with Mrs. johnson for some
years. Her son, David H. Johnson, is
in the employ of J. w. Church & Son,
and occupies a portion of the Johnson
homestead.
The funeral will occur at O'clock
Thursday afternoon.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Dec. 21-The Stock exchange
resumed business, today. after the triple
holiday with only a languid interest and
the days market was a nominal affair
This was in accordance with eXpecta tons
and the same state of affairs is expected
to endure through the holiday week. In
terested conjecture centers almost entire
ly on the future beyond the current week.
The tightness of the money market. which
is usually feature of the closing week
of the year, is entirely lacking at the
present time and the rates for time mon
ey. today, worked appreciaby lower. This
condition in the money market is with
out doubt partly due to the extremely
quiet specula ton in stocks. There are be
sides some coming requirements beyond
the end of the year which probably have
to do with the desire to maintain quiet
conditions in the money market until they
are disposed of.
For one thing. the withdrawal of So.
0tD.000 of government deposits from the
national banks on Jan. Is. has TO be pro-
vided for. In foreign money centerS the
event of chief importance seems to be the
forthcoming Russian loan. 1t is suspect
ed that some of the large foreign capital
fiotations by American railroads. which
are to be used in funding large Temporal
~ Indebtedness, will then not be far dis
tant.

General kouropatkin.

Those who still feel compelled to be-
lieve, however reluctantly, in eventual
victory for Russia at the close Of the
death struggle between the two nations
base much of their opinion on the eX-
traordinary tenacity of Kouropatkin.
An army coach whom know, writes
1. P. O'Connor in NJ. A. P, compared
the General the other evening to Fabius
Cunctator, the man who wore out
Hannibal by his delays and restored
the commonwear' of Rome. Be this as
it may. the commander who hung on
with bulldog tenacity to the very last
at Liao-Yang is simply displaying in
maturer age the qualities of his boy
hood. And now let me further illus
trate this trait of kourOpatkin's by
some passages from Mr.. Godfrey
Drage's admira BILE book, The Russian
Affairs"
The last of the great men I have
chosen to represent the ideals by which
Russia is animated" writes Mr.. Drage,
lis General Kouropatkin. the man on
whom the mantle of the famous General
Skobeleff has fallen, and who has been
since 1898 Minister Of War. He is the
iiIOSL vi eIiC VI liz
most capable administrators in the
service of the Car. Practically in the
prime of life. endowed with indcmitable
will and untiring industry, the strictest
of disciplinarians, he is gentle AMI
modest in manner. He has had more
than thirty-five years of military serv-
ice, and has won the affection and re-
spect of all who have served under him.
''He has studied the practice of war
under q great chief. and has an init
mate knowlede of the peoples of the
East and the balance of power in Asia.
His first distinctions were gained in
1863, when, at the age of 20, he assisted
at the storming of Samarkand and won
the orders of st. Stanislaus and st.
Anne for distinguished gallantry. The
years 1914 were spent in a course of
special studies at the Staff College,
which was followed by promotion to
the rank of Captain. In 1875 he was
sent on a special mission to France and
Germany. in the course Of which he
took part in an expedition from Algiers
into the Sahara and became knight Of
the Legion Of Honor.
ION the outbreak Of the Russo
Turkish War. in 1877, Kouropatkin be-
came Lieutenant Colonel and Chief Of
staff to General Skobeleff, and greatly
distinguished himself at P!evna. In
deed, there is little doubt that some of
Skobeleff's laurels were won't by him.
Skobcleff was dashing. iiApetuous,
reckless leader; Kouropatkin the cool.
patient. calculating corrective who re-
strained him. In 1879 Colonek Kouro
patkin became professor of military
statistics at the Staff College, but, bin
ing for more active service was sent,
in 1880. as commandment Of the TurKes-
tan Rifles on the expedition which Ire
suited in the reduction Of Kuldja.
Later in the same year he conn
manded the requirements sent u

the campaign against the Tekkk
Turcomans. Starting from Samarkanv
