CAVALRY WILL BIZ sHNT.


Washington, June High officials
OF the administration are considering
the expediency OF making war on the
Moroccan bandits If France declines to
land troops and assume responsibility
for the bandits punishment. These
officials have discussed the beet method
OF procedure and have reached the con-
clusion that nothing but cavalry &C
oustomed to campaigning in noun
famous country would be of service.
1t was at first suggested that several
hundred marines should be landed at
Tangier and mounted. They would be
sent In pursuit OF the kidnappers OF Ion
M. perdicaris and his stepson. This
was considered inadvisable, as the
marines would not be experienced in
that kind OF warfare. Il an expedition
IL sent it will comprise trained cavalry
men from the United States.
The president and general staff think
this government should send an armed
expedition after the brigands. secre-
tary Hay and other administration
officials discourage the idea and think
France should take the necessary steps.
There has been no intimation, however,
that France will do this, but Mr. Hay
feels sure that she will take action be-
fore Great Britain or the United States
sends an armed force into the sulsan 8
country.

WAR is GRIPPING BUSINESS.
Many Large Firms are Compelled to Re-
duce Their Forces.

st. Petersburg, May 25.-The war
has already begun to produce serious
effect upon the economic life OF Russia.
A writer IN the Uiedmosti presents re-
ports which go to show that the COM
MERGE and industry of the country are
passing through a severe crisis as re-
suit of the practical cessation Of all
trade with Siberia, caused by the con-
centration OF the military along the
Trans-Siberian railway. This conges'
ton of trade is especially felt in Mos
COW, where several Of the largest mer'
camille establishments are insolvent.
From Kieff come reports OF an un'
willingness to invest in the timber m
dustry and there have been many TALL
ures.
Russian Poland is probably the worst
hit because of the shortening OF iof'
eign credit by European banks.
In LODI, $50, 900 persons are OUT Oh
employment, while all dock improve
ment work at Odessa and other seu'n'
ern cities has been abandoned.

as follows:

Considerable irritation is manifested
by the papers over the suggestion mads
by M. Dubail. the Fernch minister AZ
Pekin, that congress of the powers B.
held for the purpose of effecting con.
clusion of the war. The Novoe Vre.
mya says:

When it is ended she will negotiate
with the Mikado, but not with Europe.
Therefore we regret that the represen.
tative of Russia's ally should be the
first to utter the word congress.
The same paper, speaking of the re.
ception of the news of japanese naval
disasters by the British press, says:
"The hymn OF uninterrupted tri.
umph by Japan which was sung by the
friendly choir of English press has been
changed by few pounds Of dynamite
from allergo maestro to aligato assaib.
asai."
The Chinese minister says China
will not seek to participate in any con-
gress at the conclusion Of the war.
The negotiations will be direct with
the power occupying Manchuria. The
minister continues to insist that China
is determined not to become involved
in the war.

FEW BOOKED FOR NOME.


Seattle May 30.--A year ago 1000
steerage tickets had been sold by this
time on the Nome liners. Up to the
present time 500 have been booked on
the first boats out of this port for the
North.
From these figures operators are
drawing the conclusion that there will
be a shortage of common laborers n
Nome during the coming season. In
view OF the TACT that the Council City
4 Solomon railroad will use about H.
200 men during the season there is APP
parently some basis for the contention
that more men should be taken North
Laboring men are not apt to flock to-
ward Nome this year, for those who
went North last year had a hard seas
on. Most of them loafed about Nome
without work, and the season was so
short that those who found plenty Of
employment did not make much !.
While there is promise of long season
and more work than usual, laboring
men regard the situation as one that
only benefits the steamship companies.

WILL EXPLORE LAKE COUNTY.
Surveyors are to Learn Possibilities
for Irrigation.

Washington, May 27.--At the re-
quest of Senator Mitchell, reconnas
ance party will proceed late in June to
make an investigation of the central
part of Lake county, Oregon, with a
view to ascertaining whether there is a
feasible location for the construction
of large irrigation work by the gov
eminent. Senator Mitchell describes
this district as having a fine climate,
where all cereals, fruits and vegetables
that are cultivated in any part of Ore
gon grow abundantly and where there
is large body of fine agricultural land.
The Chequican river, which flows
through this section, is reported to
furnish an ample supply OF water for
reclamation of nearly, if not quite all,
these lands. 1t has been reported to
Senator Mitchell that reservoir sites
can be secured to hold flood waters at
different points along the stream. AS
Lake County has contributed largely to
the arid land fund, citizens Of that dis
trict are exceedingly anxious that this
project shall receive early considera-
ton.
