FIyinq Visit to Tangier.

Tangier, March 31.-Emperor William of
Germany paid a flying visit to Tangier
today, remaining barely two hours on
shore. The elaborate programme for his
reception and his entertainment was
much changed, the Emperor confning
himself to a visit to the German lega-
tion, where he received deputations of
caused much comment and disappoint-
ment. The Emperor had been expected
to land about o'clock, but this was de-
tained about three hours.
Meanwhile Count Tatternbach-Ashold,
former German minister to Morocco, re-
turned to Hamburg before the Emperor
landed. 1t was officially explained that
the reason for this procedure was the
roughness of the sea, but after the depart
ure of the Hamberg it was stated on good
authority that Emperor William, having
heard that there was a possibility of an
anti-French demonstration on the occa-
sion of his visit, desired to avoid such an
incident.
Every Precaution Was Taken.
Another report which, however, has not
received official confirmation, but is gen.
orally accepted, states that the German
legation was informed that an anarchist
plot had been discovered and advised that
the Emperor be dissuaded from landing.
Count Tattenbach-Ashold visited the Ger
man legation and interview the Moorish
authorities, and afterwards notified his
majesty that every precaution had been
taken, but advised that the programme
be confined to a visit to the legation.
Notwithstanding the shortness of his
n.ajestys stay inTangier, the occasion
will certainly be marked as one of the
most brilliant and picturesque in the his
tory of this pretty seaport. The Moors
exhibited unwonted enthusiasm, and no
untoward incident occurred. His ma
Jesty appeared to thoroughly enjoy his
visit

LOCAL POSTOFFICE
GOES TO End CLASS
Receipts of the Pullman Post
office Advance It to the
Second Class.

The receipts of the Pullman post
office for the fiscal year ending last
night, March 31st), will advance
the Office TO the second class, it hav-
ing heretofore been in the third
class.
To become an Office Of the second
class, the receipts for the year must
amount to not less than $4,000, and
with the closing Of the year it is
found that the local establishment
has passed that figure by about
$3.50. This will entitle Pullman to
gil the benefits and privileges that
go with this advance in class, and
will make it possible for Postmaster
Allen to make some material and
needed improvements in the SER
vice. In the first place The allow.
ences for clerk hire will be much
more liberal, new fixtures will be
installed, and thei office itself will
be removed to some location where
it can have the room entirely to
itself. Allowances for the conduct
of the office in all it's various de-
partments are increased. The ad-
vance in class, however, does not
take effect till July 1st.
The increase il the revenues Of
the Office has beeIY-keeping pace
with the growth of the city, there
having been an acreage increase of
$75 per month for the 36 months
that Postmaster Allen has been in
charge. This indicates that there
is no danger of falling off of re-
ceipts, but that the advance will be
permanent, and that free city de-
livery is not far distant.

TWO RIVERS LANDS.
New Real Estate Firm Formed at the
County Seat.

John A. Lyons. ex.county commits
sioner, aud Ivan Chase, formerly pub
Usher of the Colfax Gazette, have formed
a partnership and opened real estate
office in the Krause block, at Colfox.
While doing general real estate busi-
ness, they are al present making spec
ialty OF the popular irrigated lands in
the new Two River district, for which
they are the sole selling agents in Whit
man county. The Two Rivers district is
located in the southwestern corner of
Walla Walla county, at the confluence OF
the Columbia and Snake rivers, and the
lands will be irrigated with water from
the latter never failing supply. The
soil is light, sandy, volcanic ash and
when irrigated yields most prolific crops
OF fruits, berries, vegetables, alfalfa, ETC..
which mature and are ready Tor market
couple of weeks anead of other irripa-
ted districts. This manifest advantage,
when the prices for new stuff are highest
make these lands the most valuable of
their kind.
Two ivers lands are sold in small
tracts 40 acres being the limit to pur-
chaser, at very fmodest prices, ranging
from $50 to 800 an acre, and the values
will advance sharply, most people say
double, in less than year, or possibly
when the water is turned on. about 30
1
days hence. No better investment, with
kquickepreturns assured, is offered any
where.
! Two Rivers town property, which, like
the lands, is going fast, offere similar
chances for profits. The.vtown Is lo-
Gated between the N. p. and O. r. g.
1 N. railways, one mile from each, thus
having the best possible shipping facili-
ties, with quick access to the markets Of
the whole northwest.

TAKAHIRA WILL SEE
PRESIDENT FRIDAY
MINISTER WILL SOON
LEAVE. WASHINGTON FOR BRIEF
REST BEFORE MEETING OF THE
PEACE COMMISSION.

washington, July u.-By appointment,
Togoro Takahra, the Japanese minister.
will call upon the President at Oyster
Bay next Friday for a conference regard
ing the peace negotiations. The minister
probably will return to Washington sun
day and then go away for a brief rest,
of which he is much In need.
The Japanese commission is expected
to reach New York about the last OF
July. Baron Komura will be accompa-
MED by Colonel Tachibana, the newly ap-
pointed military attache at Washington,
who will be one of the advisers Of the
mission; Mr.. Adacho, first secretary OF
the legation, unattached, who served with
Mr.. Takahira while the latter was min
lister to Rome; Mr.. Sato of the foreign
office, who accompanied Prince Rusnimi
to this country last year; an American
lawyer, who has been legal adviser TO
the foreign office for twenty-five years;
Mr.. Yamaca, chief of the Japanese po-
litical bureau, and two private secretaries.
The Japanese minister will be supple
mented at Portsmouth by Mr.. Takahira,
the other plenipotentiary; Commander
Takashita, the Japanese naval attache
at Washington; Mr.. Kannara. third Sec
retary of the legation here, and probably
several other secretaries from the lega-
tion
Nothing more is heard of china's re-
quest to be represented at the conference.
This action on the part OF China has by
no means pleased Japan. and the latter
objection to the suggestion was fully ex-
pected by the Washington government.
Whether the President has communicated
with China on the subject cannot be
learned here. In diplomatic quarters sym
pathetic to japan 1t is declared that
China's request was made at the instance
of Russia. but this statement lacks of
ficial confirmation.

AND SIGNIFICANT.

oyster Bay. l.. l., July 1.-Senator P.
C. Knox of Pennsylvania is an overnish,
guest of the President at Sycamore Hill.
He arrived from New York at $40 this
afternoon. and entering the Presidents s
carriage. which had been sent to meet
him. drove at once to the Presidents
home.
Senator Knox said his visit, so far as he
was aware, was of no special significance.
He came by invitation of the President
and did not know that the President de-
sired to confer with him on any particu-
lar subject. A former member of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's cabinet Senator Knox
sustains close personal relations with
him, and their conference is certain to
relate to many important governmental
matters.
Arrangements have been practically
completed for the presentation to the
President on Thursday next of Baron
Rosen. the new Russian ambassador. Ann
bassador Rosen will be accompanied from
Washington to Oyster Bay by Assistant
Secretary of State Herbert H. Peirce in
stead of Acting Secretary Adee. as was
proposed at first. 1t is expected that the

credentials will be important and signifi-

and the falling masses of earth dislodged
by the explosion.
Altogether sixty-eight bodies have been
recovered.
Heroic efforts have been made for hours
to reach the entombed men. but late to-
night the absence of all sound from the
interior of the mine told the tale OF the
worst disaster that has taken place in

The news of the explosion spread rap
idly, and hundreds Of women and chill

head of the pit seeking information.
Efforts at rescue were still IN progress
at midnight, and currents of fresh air
were being driven through the shaft, but
