ARB DRIVEN OUT.
Russia Making Thousands Of Hebrews
Leave Moscow.

London, Feb. 4.-Moscow is being
depopulated of its Jewish residents by
order of the Russian governor of the
city. Investigation, begun at his or
der, into the domiciliary rights, under
an old law, OF 10000 Jewish working
men and artisans has resulted in the
expulsion OF thousands.
The police are carrying out the in
structions given them with the great
est zeal. Jewish houses throughout
the city are entered and searched at all
hours of the day and night for evidence
that will permit the expulsion OF the
residents.
The law upon which the governor
bases his right to make the crusade
against the Jews is an old one under
which any Jewish workingmen and
those who were members of the First
Guild OF Merchants, or we're academic
ally educated, were allowed to remain
in Moscow after the expulsion of 1891.
Recently the governor ordered strict
investigation into the rights Of those
residents. On finding the slightest
flaw the order of expulsion is issued.
Many families whose fathers during
the sos paid for the freedom of the
city to their heirs have been expelled
suddenly. 1t was charged that the
fathers who paid for this right paid
taxes only as members of the First
Guild of Merchants for eight years.
According to a recent law the free
dom of the city cannot be secured by
any one who has not paid his taxes as
a member of the First Guild for ten
years. This recent law has been APP
piled in the cases OF the dead Jews,
and their ancestors have been expelled
under its provisions.
Those of the expelled Jews who have
means have been taken to the railway
station and compelled to buy tickets.
Those who have not the means to buy
tickets are forwarded without expense.

RUSSIA IS READY
HAS CONTINUED NEGOTIATIONS WITH
JAPAN FOR A PURPOSE.
Preparations for War Have Been Quietly
Keeping Pace With Those Of Japan
Concessions are Now at an End -
Reply to Last Note VIII Ignore De.
mand Regarding Manchurla.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 3.--It has been
known for months past that Russia has
been steadily strengthening her army
and navy in the Far East to meet the
preparations which japan was openly
making. The availablewarships were
dispatched to The. Falss and the Last
division, which left the Mediterranean
month ago, is now nearing its desti-
nation. Quietly, but surely, it was
necessary that Russia's preparations
should keep pace with those of her dip
lomatic adversary. The feverish ac-
tivity of Japan during the last few
weeks naturally increased the distrust
of her ultimate intentions and the
Russian authorities have been pushing
their precautionary measures With
more vIgor.
Il is understood that six or seven
military trains have been going east
daily over the Siberian road and the
charters of some ships for the Pacific
have been Cancelled, because the water
route was considered too slow.
The draft of Russia's reply probably
will be submitted to the czar tomor-
row. The Associated Press is assured
that it will be pacific and should "lead
to settlement. The Associated
Press informant reiterated what he said
few days ago. "We have conceded
much already, and we are ready to con-
cede more, but some things we cannot
grant. From our standpoint the Man
churian question was settled by Rus
sia's circular note to the powers recog.
nizing all the Chinese treaties. Why
should Japan demand more than the
other powers?"
Chinese coal exclusively has been
purchased for the Russian fleet. The
authorities now feel that the situation
is secure should Japan reject Russia's

WITH BARK ON.
Big Fir Sticks Sent to St. Louis to Re.
produce Fort CIatsop.

Rainier-The Wilson Case lumber
company has shipped four cars of lum.
Der for the Oregon state building at the
st. Louis fair. The order is a peculiar
one in that the bark is left on one side
of each stick of timber.
Some OF the timbers are 40 feet long,
with two faces 10 inches wide and one
face z Il inches, while the fourth face
is round, with the bark still clinging
to it. The palisade timbers are II
feet long, with one 1O-inch and two
four-inch faces.
1t requires II, 900 feet of these slabs
to enclose the grounds around the
building. The building and enclosure
will be a reproduction of old Fort Clat-
sop and the stockade surrounding the
fort.
This is probably the only consign-
ment OF the kind ever shipped from the
state, and Mr., Leeper, the manager,
says that it will probably be the last.
A great deal of trouble was experienced
in getting trees that were not too large
and that would run the same thickness
from which to cut the timbers, to give
the right curve on the round side.
Another difficulty was experienced in
getting trees on which the bark was
still firm.
The sap is now up and the bark peels
off very readily. This is not common
ly the case, but this winter has been so
mild that the sap raised much earlier
than usual. 1t will be hard for st.
Louis people to understand that when
these trees were cut eight degrees farth.
er north than the city of st. Louis, and
in country where the thermometer
has not registered zero in 40 years, and
while the weather was so warm here
that the sap in the trees was up on the
18th of January and at the same time
in St. Louis the thermometer was 20
degrees below zero,

NOT ENOUGH FLAX RAISED.
Mil VIII Be Built When the Acreage
Reaches 1000.

Salem-Threshing flax seed out of
the straw and spreading the straw in
fields to rot is now in progress at Eu-
gene Bosses flax establishment at this
place. Twenty men are engaged at the
threshing house and Is men and boys
are employed to spread the straw on a
field Just east of town. Two hundred
tons of straw will be spread out evenly
over 80 acres of land and left exposed
to the weather until it has rotted
enough for the scutching mill. 1t
will then be put through a scutching
mill, which will turn out clean fax
fiber. The fiber will be stored away to
await the building of linen mill.
"The erection of linen mill here in
the Willamette valley is delayed only
by the lack of a supply of FIBRE" said
Mr. Bose. 'It won't do to build a
mill to run two or three months in the
year. We must have enough fibre to
keep mill running the year around.
That will take 1000 acres of fax.
Whenever we can get that we will have
raw material enough to operate with
and mill will be built"
Mr.. Bosse has 260 acres of land
leased for flax raising purposes, and the
farmers of this vicinity will put in
about 100 acres more this season. Mr..
Bosse thinks the amount should be in
creased this year to 1000 acres and in
year or two increased to 1000 acres.

MANY PERISH ON DESERT.
Bodies Of a Score Of Men Found on thu
Sands In Nevada.

Salt Lake, Feb. 3.-The bodies Of be-
tween 20 and 80 men, who perished
from thirst while attempting to cross
the desert between Moapa and Los
Vegas, New, have been found within a
few weeks, according to advices re-
ceived from the latter place,
The men, it is believed, were mostly
tramps who attempted to make the
long journey on foot without sufficient
supplies of food and water to carry
them across. Many of the bodies found
were without clothing, and it is be-
lieved that the victims had gone insane
from thirst and had wandered about in
nude condition in search of water.
Some of the victims are supposed to
have used water from "Dead Mans
WE'LL" which is located almost in the
center of the desert. The water from

COLD RAIL SNAPPED.
Colorado Flyer DItChed While Running
Forty Miles an Hour.

ESKansas City, Mo-, Feb. 3.-The Col.
orado flyer on the Missouri Pacific rail.
way was derailed near Miller. Kan,
oday while running at the rate of 4C
miles an hour.
The engine and the rear car, a Pull.
man, alone remained upright on the
track. The baggage car, mail car,
smoker and a chair car were thrown in
to the ditch, turning over and were
badly shattered. One person was
killed and lS injured, one seriously.
The wreck was caused by the snap
ping of rail, due evidently to the se-
we're cold weather OF the past week.
Physicians reached the scene promptly
and relief train was hurried from Osa-
watomie, starting east with the injured
during the afternoon.
At the time OF the accident the train
was two hours late and was making up
time. 1t had no orders to stop at
Miller and went by at full speed, being
derailed on the outskirts of the town.
The engine and tender passed over the
defective rail safely.
The front trucks of the mail car
jumped the track and crashed into a
freight car on a siding. The baggage
car followed, pushed the mail car at
right angles across the track and both
the forward cars served to block the
smoker. The chair car following the
smoker partially telescoped the smoker
and the>latter was rendered into kindl-
ing wood. The Pulln an remained on
the track and aside from a severe shak-
ing up the passengers in that car were

A letter was received here some time
ago from Captain Torres, commanding
the Panama troops at Chepo, on the
south side of the isthmus and directly
south of the San Bias country, saying
he had decided to cross over to the At
lantic side. There is a possibility that
the Indians are fighting with Captain

by diving Way to st. Louis.
Washington, Feb. 4. - Senators
Mitchell and Fulton appeared before
the full committee on appropriations
today, in connection with the proposed
amendment offered by Senator Mitchell
yesterday, to the urgent deficiency ap-
preparation bill in the interest of the
Lewis and Clark exposition. The st.
Louis fair people, whose appeal for a
loan was under consideration at the
time, felt that they would be embar-
rassed by the retention of the Oregon
amendment, and on this showing and
the assurance of the committee that the
Oregon exposition should receive favor
able consideration, it was decided to
withdraw the amendment and bring it
up later in connection with the sundry
civil bill.
The senators believe that by their
diplomatic course, taken at this time,
they have greatly advanced the inter.
ests of their cause, and they feel more
hopeful than ever of favorable action
later on.-They are now assured of the
cordial and active support of the st.
Louis people. The st. Louis PROPOSE
tion will undoubtedly be retained in
the urgent deficiency bill, and this will
be a good precedent for Oregon in the
sundry civil bill.

SEALING TRADE MAY SUFFER.
War In the Orient Would Cause Aban-
donment of Good Field.

Vancouver, B. c., Feb. 3.-should
war break out between Russia and, ia
pan, one branch of British Colum bias
ndustries-sealing-would suffer. In
fact, the possibility of conflict is al
ready having its effect. After the
Behring sea arbitration, the sealers of
Victoria found new ground across the
Pacific off the Corean coast. For sew
eral seasons schooners have annually
set sail for the Orient. This year the
trip must be abandoned, and the hunt
ing will have to be confined to off the
California and British Colombia coasts.
While war between Russia and Japan
would not necessarily stop the schoon-
ers operating under the British flag, it
would involve them in danger. The
sealers have been "up against it, so
much in the past that they do not care
to run risks.
