EAST WIND BRINGS
GREAT DUST CLOUD

Great clouds of dust filed the air
Friday evening and covered the fresh
snow everywhere with a brown coat
ing that still remains, The only ex-
PLANTATION so far found is the supposi-
tion that thero must have been a dust
storm during the day in the country
east of here.
A strong east wind blew all day,
and it is presumed that there was lit
tie if any snow east of The Dalles.
Everything was frozen dry, and with
the high wind the dust and light sand
was carried for miles to the westward.
The air toward the east Friday after
noon had decidedly muddy appear
ance. The mist was very dense un-
til late at night, while in all other
directions the atmosphere was clear
and the stars shone brightly.
Such dust storms have been noticed
during the summer months, but never
before during the winter 1t was a
very peculiar phenomenon.

FOUND HIM RESTING.
President Was Reading When Loeb
Reached Camp.

Glenwood Springs, Colo. April al
rest was taken at Camp Roosevelt
yesterday BY all members of the par
ty. They were utterly worn out after
the hard chase Of Monday and Tues
day Secretary Loeb found the presi-
dent reading and several others of the
hunters were telling stories when he
reached their camp on East Divide
creek.
Mr.. Roosevelt questioned the secre-
tary concerning the happenings of
the past few days, preferring to get
his news in this manner rather than
by reading the big bundle of newspa-
pers taken to the camp by Courier
Chapman. Mr.. Loeb was urged to re-
main several days with the party. tax
ing the place of P. B. Stewart of Colo
rado Springs, who has gone. The sec
retary has not decided what he will
do, but expects to return tonight. He
may hunt a part of the day before
riding to Newcastle.
Women of Newcastle sent a huge
fruit cake to the camp and Dan Nc
Pherson, a, rancher, sent a basket of
several dozen fresh eggs. The sup
plies were addressed directly to the
president but are for a special treat
for the hunters.
The bear killed by the president
on Monday furnished one of the finest
skins ever seen here according to the
taxiderntsts with whom it has been
left for mounting. The bear was Of
the brown variety with hair long and
uniform color. The animal was shot
directly through the heart. After it
had been overtaken by the dogs it
went up tree to a position twenty
five feet high. After the president
shot the bear it went twenty feet high
er and then dropped to the ground.
The bear killed by DR.. Alexander
Lambert was killed an hour earlier.
The president may attend church
services at the "Old Blue school
house" on next Sunday. The school
house is only a few miles from camp.
Services are conducted by a Presby-
terian minister.
Hides Reach Colorado Springs.
Colorado Springs, Colo. April 27.-
The hides of five bear slain by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and three bobcats
killed by DIR. Lambert, have been re
ceived in this city. to be dressed and
cured, after which they will be ship
ped to the White House.

TITUS NAMES THE BOARD.
Councilmen Who Will Help Super
wise the Elections.

A meeting of the board of super
visors was called for by Commissioners
of Elections Titus Wednesday after
noon. The board appointed by Titus
consists of Councilmen Ryder, Griley,
Nipps, Sinner and Swendson, but only
Horn and Nipps showed up- The
board has not yet had meeting and
the meeting called for yesterday was
to perfect the organization of the
board and to tentatively consider the
advisability of appointing deputy
The board adjourned on account Of
the lack of a quorum and will meet at
the call of the election commissioner.
Titus stated that he had had no
time as yet to fully discover whether
he would need a deputy. Some Of
those who are acquainted with the
duties of election commissioner claim
that Titus should certainly be bile to
discover by this time what the duties
Of such an Office are liable to be and
that the matter of an appointment Of
a deputy should have been definitely
fixed by this time.

Russian Naval Staff Says 1t Can't
Be True.
RUSSIANS HAVE GONE.

RUSSIANS HAVE GONE.

Tsingtau, Shangtung Peninsula, Chi
ma, April 27.-A private telegram re-
ceived here says that Admiral Rojest-
vensky's fleet has joined Nebogatoff's
detachment.
Naval STAFF Doubts 1t.
st. Petersburg, April 27.-1o:15 P. NJ
According to the calculations of the ma
val staff, Vice Admiral rJebogatoff, who
left Jibutil, French Somaliland, March
rs, if he has been making 200 knots
per day, should reach Singapore tomor-
row and could not unite his division
with Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's in
Tonquin bay until May 5. The general
opinion is that their junction is assur-
ed on the theory that Admiral Togo
would not dare to risk sailing south to
meet Nebogatoff since by so doing he
would leave the way to Vladivostok
open to RojestVensky.
All Russians Have Gone.
Kamranh Bay. via Saigon, Cochin
China, April 27.-The only ships re-
naming in Kamranh bay are four Ger
man transports. All the rest of the
transports and the Russian hospital
ship Orel and other vessels left behind
by Admiral Rojestvensky left the bay
yesterday morning. These vessels are
assembled outside the bay and form an
extended line stretching from Cape
VareIa to the head of Kamranh penin-
sula Torpedo boats are scouting in all
directions. The ships seem to be await
ing Vice Admiral Nebogatoff's division.
The French cruiser Des Cartes hav-
ing on board Admiral De Jonquieres,
the French commander in these waters,
returned to Nhatrang, near Kamranh
bay, after steaming around the Rus
sian squadron and subsequently re-
turned to Saigon.
The two freight laden steamers cap
tured by Admiral Rojestvensky were

that they are suspected of having con-

The slump was due to a number of
causes. A severe decline in the price

BREAK IN STOCKS.
Spectators Unload and Cause a
Violent Slump.

New York, April ga number of in
cidents combined to cause discourage
ment on the part Of speculative hold
ers of stocks today and their unloading
caused a sharp break in prices. The
depression was much aggravated by the
uneasiness reported from foreign stock
markets on account of the Moroccan
question and rumors of a sea fight in
the China sea. Brokers for foreign
houses sold freely of all of the inter-
national stocks. The renewed break in
the wheat market was an additional
factor towards the unsettlement- Some
of the rumors which were used to lift
stocks yesterday were quite emphati-
cally denied and added to the pressure.
The disappointment of the expected in
crease in the Norfolk & Western divi-
dend affected many speculative ac-
counts based on similar hopes.
The weakness was not acute during
the morning and was interrupted by
occasional rallies, but at noon prices
fell with violence, losses extending in

Crew of Vessel That Carried the
Kaiser Remembered.

New York, April 27.-The Hamburg
American steamer Hamburg, which ar
rived here late last night, came direct
from Italy, after landing Emperor Viii
liam and his party at Naples. Every
officer and man on the ship has some
memento of the cruise, which was per
sonally presented to him by the en-
peror. The keepsakes include jewels,
of which is estimated at So, 400
The officers of the steamer say that
the emperor apparently enjoyed every
moment of his trip When the ship
reached Tangier and a heavy sea pre-
vented the royal party from landing a
large quantity of correspondence for the
emperor was brought on board In it
were several kilograms which refused
to comment at the French capital n
his trip. As he read them the emperor
remarked.

FRISCO is PROTECTED.
If Tax Collectors Shortage Doesn't
Exceed 100000.

San Francisco, Cal. April 27-No cIew
to the whereabouts of J. Edward
Smith, the fugitive tax collector of this
city, has been obtained by the police,
though Captain of Detectives Burnett
thinks he may have gone to Honduras
to escape arrest and exrradition. The
full amount of his defalcation will not
be known until experts now examining
the books of his office have completed
the work, but the loss to the city, should
it not exceed 100000, will be made good
by the surety company which furnished
his official bond. The manager of this
company says that Smiths previous
shortage of S165, 900 which was made
good by his brother was never broug ht
to its notice.
The methods used by the tax collector
to conceal his operations are declared
to have been many, involving consider
able labor on the part of the account
ants who are endeavOring to trace
them. After their report has been made
to the board of supervisors that body
will take action on the suspension Of
Smith by Mayor Schmitz. Approval of
this suspension is equivalent to a re-
