Has an Eye on Siberia.

Paris, June 1S.-From quite depend
able Japanese sources, your correspond
ent is able to state that there is not the
least doubt as to japanese designs on
Oriental Siberia. 1t is learned that one
of the most influential nihilists in Russia
has been approached by representative
of the japanese government and has
been engaged to furnish the latter list
of all the genuine political prisoners in
Siberia.
Japan is anxious to avoid the reproach
of causing a mere uprising of criminals,
and will therefore negotiate only with
the political element in the Siberian PEN
al settlements, which includes men OF
the highest character and ability.
To these convicts Japan will secretly
convey arms and when they are ripe for
revolt Japanese army will be sent to
their assistance. Japan will be proud
to think that in this way she will have
struck blow for humanity and progress
as we'll as against her enemy.
Your correspondent is further assured
on the same. dependable authority that
it is the japanese Consul in New York
who is organizing this scheme in con.
junction with the Russian liberal asso-
citation.

Shot sweetheart.

Portland, June 16.-Frank Guglielmo,
an Italian aged % years. who runs sa-
loon at First and Market streets, Port
land, yesterday afternoon shot and killed
l6-year-old Freda Guarascia, also an
Italian. because the girls father, un-
doubtedly with her consent, refused to
allow Guglielmo to longer continue his
attentions.
Guglielmo is son of Josep Gugliel-
mo, who was shot to death December 25
1902, by G. Castro, in the saloon which
the son, Frank, then inherited.
Guglelmo left bis saloon undoubtedly
with the intention of killing the girl,
who lived with her parents at 324 Harri-
son street. Her slayer walked into the
kitchen, and though there were no wit
nesses to the deed, it is apparent that
he shot the girl in the back of the head
and afterward through the heart. She
had probably turned over onto her back
after falling from the first shot, or been
turned over by her slayer.

j. N. VILLA msOn Returns.

Representative j. N. Williamson came
to Portland Thursday after an absence
covering the last session of Congress, the
recent election IN Oregon, and more than
a month of vacation, says the Oregonian.
Today he will be besieged by his consti-
tuents deslrous of extending the Oregon
glad hand. Last night IN his room at
the Imperial he was alone and rejoicing
decourously that he was returned from
foreign shore, where the troublesome
, duties of an envoy of the plain people
have occupied him these past months.
Mr.. Williamson talked Of the session,
of the fight for the Lewis and Clark ap-
preparation, the open Columbia move
ment which he thinks will bear fruit at
the next session, the 50 600, 900 irrigation
allotment and of the new forest reserves
which he approves. He said many fine
things about Speaker Cannon, whom he
credits with much of the success of the
Fair appropriation, declared that Senator
Fairbanks will be nominated for Vice.
President by acclamation at Chicago. He
complimented the Oregon Commission
which worked in Washington for the
Lewis and Clark appropriation and
brought word that Senator Mitchell is in
splendid health and spirits and will be
home early in July. Altogether Mr..
Williamson was in very satisfying
frame of mind, glad to be congressman,
glad to be at home again and we'll pleas.

hanson returned with him, and is now at
The Dalles while the Misses Williamson

THE WHEAT CROP.
Conditions and Probable Yields i'm
Various Countries.

Figures on the wheat crop Of the world
for 1904 were presented in late issue
of the London Statst, as follows:
United States.-Winter wheat: Av-
erage condition Is per cent worse than
last year, on an acreage TO be reaped
probably 1900, coo to 5000, 900 acres less
than last year. Spring wheat sowing is
rather IN arrear, but there is plenty of
time for full if not an increased acre
age.
Canada. Manitoba wheat sowing
is much later than last year, but prepa-
ratons have been made for increasing
the area to be sown.
Russia.-An unfavorable seed time in
the autumn has caused much smaller
area to be sown than last year, the
weather conditions during the Winter
having been untavorable, on the whole
the present condition is generally poor,
although the weather is now much more
favorable. Spring sowings are in arrear
and on the whole the prospect is for a
much smaller crop in Russia than was
reaped last year.
France There has been a great i'm
provement in the crop prospects here,
but the area sown is smaller than last
year. Last years crop is proving to be
larger than had been expected, little or
no foreign wheat being wanted. The
value Of homegrown wheat in France
is, in fact, As to 5s (97c to $1.2D per
quarter below an importing point.
Austria Hungary. Prospects are quite
favorable in these countries.
Roumania.- crop conditions are
favorable on the whole, but not so prom.
Using as at this time last year.
Germany.-The official report for April
15 made the condition of whea. s points
better than last year, and also states
that only four-tenths of per cent ofthe
area sown has had to be replowed, while
last year about Ii per cent was Winter
killed.
Italy.-The prospects are good, but
not so favorable as at this period last
year.
United Kingdom.-The area sown is
expected to be the smallest on record,
viz, about l 100000, against 1,62O,OO
acres last year. The probability, there
fore, is that next season the United
Kingdom will require more foreign
wheat than in any previous season.
ustralasa.-Recent cables give the |
yield of the crop in New South Wales at |
3, 100000 quarters, against zoe, 900 quar-
ters last year in Victoria, at $500, 600
quarters, against $4,000 quarters; and
in South Australia, at /, $50, 600 quarters

WHY TRADE is SLOW.
Belief i'm Theory of DepressiSsia
Every Ten Years.

New York, June 18.-R. q. Dun g.
Co.'S review of trade says:
Industry suffers from an epidemic Of
ultra conservatism, emanating appaE-
emily from the theory that a season o.
depression must come every 10 years,
while the coincidence of Presidential
election furnishes another precedent,
AS result, stocks of merchandise haye
been reduced, every traffic is lesseped,
preparations for future business are cur
tailed and less money is distributed in
the form of wages, while those having
capital to invest confne their attention
to the highest classes of bonds or hold
back for still lower prices of securities.
All these factors have combined to pro~.
duce a reaction entirely out of proper
ton to the natural readjustment that
was really started by abnormally high
prices of raw materials and other eN
cessive costs of production resulting 10
accumulation of goods that could not
be sold at profit.
Retrenchment has made considerable
progress, Wage.earners, as a rule, reoo2-
nizing the importance of accepting re
ductions in pay. The lake strike haG.
been adjusted, leaving little friction be-
tween employer and employe. AS The
season advances, the crop outlook iEn--
proves and there is no fundamental
weakness in the Nations mmercial or
financial position. Evidences of con-
traction in business are numerous, how
ever, railway earnings thus far available
for May showing loss of II per cent as
compared with 1903.
Considering the favorable official and
private crop reports, wheat has ruled re-
markably firm, the high price having
natural effect on foreign demand. IL
fact it was reported that exporters were
selling wheat at Duluth. Stocks will be
low when the new crop is harvested and
domestic consumption has absorbed Of
ferings despite com paratve quiet of late
at Northwestern mills. Receipts at pr.
mary markets were 1898, ,190 bushels
against ,92S, ,S66 bushels in the same
week last year, while exports from al
ports of the United States, flour IL.
cluded. amounted to 1871 ,304 bushels,
compared with :, 500 ,002 bushels a year
ago. Corn has reacted somewhat from
best prices, arrivals OF t, 273, $40 bushels
at western cities exceeding the receipts
of 3, ,220, 800 last year, but Atlantic Coas
shipments were only 143, ,025 bushels
against S73, SOP in 1903.
Liabilities OF Commercial failures thus
far reported for June aggregated S4,l5l,.
los, of which 1851 1862 were in manu-
featuring, 81 So, ,394 in trading and S41G,-
952 in other commercial lines. Failures
this week number PSI in the Unite
States against 213 last year and Is ir
Canada compared with q year ago.

dangerous possibilities to the peace of
