EFFORT TO PROTECT Tns JEWS.
Russian Authorities Do Not Desire Repe.
titlon Of Easter 0utrages.

- -F-~~A ~~~e~~s
st. Petersburg, April 6.-Reports re-
ceived by the minis,ry OF the interior
indicate that the precautionary meas
ures taken to prevent anti-Jewish dis
turbances during Easter week, when
the ignorant are easily aroused to a
sort of religious frenzy regarding
"blood atonement," will result in the
avoidance Of serious trouble. ssasss.,--..s=
In spite Of the precautions, however,
it is considered possible there may be
attempts at rioting, but the authorities
may be relied upon to suppress these
with a strong hand. The following
private : telegram VAS received today
from Odessa ;4siiss-sa ssiis-ss
reports of anti-Jewish disturbances
which are common at Easter time cause
more alarm than usual this year, be-
cause of the occurrences last year.
The Jews here are nervous but the
authorities have confidence in Cover
nor Eidhardt, who is in charge of the
city, and who is an energetic and hu.
name man, as well as in Baron Kaul-
bars, commander-in-chief OF the troops
in Southern Russia. Under the cir
cumstances, therefore, anything like a
serious disturbance is regarded as i'm
possible.
''The official papers have published
strongly-wolded warnings, and the city
is placarded with notices that all who
disturb the peace will be severely pun.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
HEARS CONVICT CRY.
Pictures Of Discharged Men No Longer
to Be Given Out.

Salem-In accordance with instruc-
tions from Governor Chamberlain, the
rsnitentiary authorities have discon-
tinued the practice of furnishing peace
officers with pictures and descriptions
OF all discharged prisoners. This
change in the rules Of the institution
was made few weeks ago upon the be-
lief that it would encourage ex-convicts
to try to lead honest lives.
The custom of sending out descrip-
tions of discharged prisoners was adopt
ed in response to requests from chiefs
Of police in the cities. The police Off
GERS wanted the descriptions so that
when convi,t had been discharged
they could be on the lookout for him
and could more easily locate him if he
committed any offense. Several incl
dents which came to the attention of
the governor convinced him that more
harm than good resulted from the send
ing ont Of the descriptions, and he di-
rected that the practice be stopped,

Free Space Under Railway With Levees
VIII Be Provided.

Milton-This season will PROBABLY
see the last high water damage fol-
some time just beyond the junction of
the Walla Walla river and the o. R. &
N, a mile north of Milton, where the
river bed is almost on level with the
flats on either side. For several years
the piers in the o. R. & N. trestle over
the river have caught brush, floating
logs and debris Of all kinds, causing
the current to cut into the gravelly low
banks on either side and scurry over
the land. The piers are only l6 feet
apart.
The railroad has material on the
ground to build new span which will
be supported by stone piers on either
end, 108 feet apart. This will leave
an uninterrupted space for the river,
and the county commissioners of Walla
Walla and Umatilla counties will di-
vide the expense Of levees to confne
the rushing waters of the fast flowing
Walla Walla past the danger point.

FOR TREATY WITH RUSSIA.
Ambassador Working for Protection o
American Corporations.

Ambassador Working for Protection Of
American Corporations.
St. Petersburg, April 6.-Ambassador
Mccormick is negotiating with the for
eign Office for a treaty with Russia
which will give to the United States
corporations the right to sue in Russian
courts and to Russian corporations the
right to sue in courts Of the United
States.
Under the Russian law, United
States corporations can be sued, but
cannot sue in the courts of the empire.
This has caused United States firms
great annoyance as we'll as losses in the
past. In addition the ambassador
hopes to secure in the treaty a broad
clause which will authentically give To
United States corporations all privileg.
es in whatever character, now enjoyed
by the corporations Of any foreign
country.
Although there are difficulties in the
way of accomplishing the desired re-
suit, the Ambassadors advances have
been met in the friendliest spirit ant
the indications are that his negotia
tions will terminate successfully.
The only countries now enjoying tn,
privileges which Ambassador McCorm
ick is striving to obtain for the UniteC
States are Germany, Greece, BulgariI
and Italy. o..

GOOD PRICES FOR SHEARHRS.
Work VIII Be Expedited Owing to the
Good Conditions.

Pendleton-Seven and eight cents,
the former figure including board, are
sheep shearing prices throughout East
ern Oregon this season. Sheep shearers
will not starve at this figure, as good
shearer will handle 100 head a day,
while fast men will take fieeces off
more. Shearing will be faster than
usual this season on account Of the
good condition both sheep and wool
are in.
Few outside professionals have come
in yet, wbut number of local shear
ers are at work around Echo and farth-
er west. A crew of about dozen have
left for towns along the Northern Pa
cifc in Franklin and Lincoln counties,
Washington. The majority of outside
ehearers will come in in about 10 days
on their migration northward and east
ward. After finishing in Umatilla and
kindred Eastern Oregon counties they
push on to Idaho, Wyoming and Mon
tana.

pondent of the Associated Press at Port
Arthur telegraphs today as follows
The Chinese prophesying new attempts
to block the channel are at the present
moment awed. All is quiet in port
and the situation is unchanged through
out the peninsula. Deposits of coal
similar to that of Cardiff, Wales, have
been found in the vicinity of Port
Arthur. The discovery is an extremely
timely one, in view Of the necessity of
obtaining an ample supply Of fuel for
the feet.

PANAMA STRIKE GROWS SERIOUS.
America Warns Marines and Seamen
to Take No Sides.

Washington, April THE labor
troubles on the Isthmus of Panama
growing out of the strike of the en-
ployes OF the Panama railroad company
have taken a serious turn, and the facts
have been reported to the state depart
ment by the United States charge at
Panama. The matter was deemed Of
sufficient Importance to warrant consid-
erable discussion at the cabinet meet
ing, and the unanimous opinion was
that everything should be done to avoid
an ENHANCEMENT Of the United States
with any labor controversy. But it
was determined that the government
would not withhold in any degree the
protection of the Panama railroad,
which it has assumed by treaty, and it
was directed that the railroad property,
rolling stock, track and terminals
should be protected by forces from the
United States warships at the isthmus
if that became necessary.
There will, however, be no compul-
sion exercised against the strikers to
compel them to return to work. II
the railroad management can secure a
sufficient force of men to operate the
road they will be upheld in such an at
tempt. This will be done with the
full consent of the Panama government,
though under broad treaty provisions
this is not absolutely necessary.
Secretary Moody was charged with
the duty of carrying out this decision
and with instructing Admirals Glass
and Sigsbee as to the course they shall
pursue. There is ample force on the
isthmus for any emergency.

SURE 1T is SAFE.
0regOnIans Expect zoos Bin to Pass
the House Soon.

Washington, April There is q
prospect that the Lewis and Clark ex-
position bill will be passed by the
house the latter part Of the present
week, after being considered under spec
ial rule. Chairman Tawney today in
troduced resolution authorizing con-
sideration of the bill at any time dur
ing the remainder of the session, and
had his resolution referred to the COM
mittee on rules. There is every assur-
ance that this committee will favorably
report the resolution at its next meet
ing, Notwithstanding the fact that
three members Of the committee voted
against the Portland bill.
The strong showing on both rollcalls
establishes beyond question the fact
that the bill is favored by a large ma
jority of the members Of the house, and
it is believed by those in touch with
the situation. that the committee on
rules will recognize the wish Of the
majority, and consent to consideration
OF the bill. If Tawney's resolution is
reported as expected, it will be equiva-
lent to special rule, and will give am
pie opportunity for debate on the bill
and permit its passage by majority
vote.
1t is now regarded as certain by Ore
gonians here that the bill will be
passed by the house and that the meas
ure signed by the president will appro-
pirate at least the amount carried by
the house bill, namely, $475, 900.
The strength of the bill, demon
strated by the votes on Monday, testi-
fies to the effectiveness of the efforts of
friends of that measure in working up
sentiment in its behalf.

Nearly Every House in Town is Occupied
by Soldiers,

St. Petersburg, April 6.--An Associ-
ated Press correspondent en- route to
the front, writing from Harbin, March
13, describes the scene there as he OBJ
served it. From all sides soldiers were
pouring into Harbin. The uncom-
pleted railroad station there had been
transformed into a barracks, and al
most every house in the town was oc-
cupied by soldiers.
Pristan, short distance away, which
until recently had been small village
on the bank of the sungari river, had
become city with temporary buildings
which were being used by the troops
and with stores, a hotel and restaurant.
Merchants and restauranteurs, the cor
respondent adds, were accused of extor-
ton, but money was cheap.

railway, co,ltradicts the report that
there is great congestion of traffic. He
declares that ten trains daily traverse
hte road in either direction as far as
Irkutsk, and nine freight trains, in ad-
dition to many passenger trains, daily
run from beyond Lake Bailkal to Har-
bin. He says that there is no cencern

weeks the weather has been extremely
cold and much snow fell in the noun
tains, Even the lower foothills were
covered. Ukiah had II inches of new
snow and the fall was heavy at Meach-
am and other Blue mountain points.
A change for the warmer with heavy
rain and chinook have set in. The
snow is fast melting and tributaries of
the Umatilla near the base of the
mountains are overhowing. There is
fear if the river gets too high that the
town will be flooded on account of a
man moving away riprap work from

council at its last meeting ordered the
riprap replaced, but it has not been
done, leaving broken point in the
