This aspirant for a seat among the

Basle, July 27.-Between two and
three thousand delegates were pres
ent today at the opening of the sixth
worlds congress of the Zionist move
ment, which has for its object the
restoration of Jerusalem to the Jews.
Nearly every civilized country of the
world is represented at the congress,
the large attendance being an indica-
ton of the extraordinary. importance
attached to the present session.
Nearly so delegates are here from
the United States alone. Included IN
the number are Mrs d. Levinson of
Des Moines, William Morris of Phila-
delphia DIR. Coblentz of New York
city. julius Singer of Buffalo, DR.. L.
H. Landman of Cincinnati. Il. W.
Levin Epstein of New York city, DR..
Aaron Ember of Baltimore, S. Sgap-
insky of Louisville, Mr.. and Mrs. S.
w. Frank of Pittsburg. Rabi Goro-
WITT of Rhode Island, Dr. stephen S.
Wise, Portland, Ore: DR.. H. P. Men
des of New York city, Barnet Levy OF
Scranton, Leon Zolotkoff of Chicago
and Miss Eva Magnes of Brooklyn.
The congress was formally opened
by DIR. Max Nordau. The first feature
of the program was the holding OF
services in memory of DR.. Theodore
Herzl, the founder of the Zionist
movement, who died one year ago to-
day.
There are many important matters
to come up for consideration at the
present session. One of these is the
selection of new president to sue
ceed DIR. Herzl. Two candidates are
mentioned for the position, Max Nor
dau, the eminent French doctor and
author, and Herr Wolffsohn, Of Co
logne.
Another important matter that
must be decided is the acceptance or
.oioo''or Of thu offer of tho British
government to furnish a large tract
" land in British East Africa for the
establishment of a Zionist colony. The
'pecial commission sent to the site of
he proposed colony by the Zionist
movement last spring has prepared a
'eport against the acceptance OF the
rffer of the British government and
t is expected that the congress will
rdopt the report, though some oppo-
'ition is expected.
Another matter that will receive at
ention is the proposed reorganlza-
ion of the Zionist movement. the
hange to tend toward decentraliza-
ion, which change is regarded as nee
'ssary since the death of DR.. Herzl.
"he grand executive committee has
prepared a report advocating the ap-
1ointment of a directorate for the
-uidance of the Zionist movement,
romposed of Max Nordau, Professor
Volffsohn Of Cologne. and Professor

Some That Claim to Mark the CeRSer

The sacred black stone Of the Man
ehu dynasty of Chinese In Mukden is
the center of the universe, according to
old Chinese supersttions, and added
venerability comes to Mukden from the
graves OF the emperors near by.
The Do-ring in Lassa, Tibet, is an
other center of the universe, which. ac-
cording to the Tibetan priests. is shap-
ed exactly like the shoulder blade Of a
sheep. All distances are measured
from it, and it is very sacred.
Another center is the kaaba, in Nee
ca, dirty black stone let into the wall
of the most sacred mosque and polish
ed every year by the lips of thousands
of wOrshipers. The Arabic word for
stone, ''hagar," appears in Scriptural
writings as a proper name The Mecca
pilgrimage is a "haj," and those who
have taken it are known as ''hadji."
Even so sane people as the ancient
Greeks came pretty near worshiping a
stone-the "omphalos," or center of the
earth, at Delphi. The Romans set up Il
stone of great consequence in Rome,
but for purposes of measurement, not
worship, and so the London stone" of
today is used.-LondOn Telegraph.

the substance which the grub in the

The threads are then placed in pure

RAISE o, r & y. ASSESSMENT.
Baker County VIII Appoint a Com.
mlttee to Fix New Value.

Baker City July 27.-An effort is
to be made to have the assessment of
the oregon Railroad & Navigation
company raised from $500 a mile to
at least 10000 a mile. This in con-
formity with the general assessment
Of railroad property as decided upon
by the assessors at their meeting in
la Grande some time ago.
Assessor Jerry Fleetwood has not
decided upon the assessment Of the
railroad property In Baker county. A
committee appointed by the citizens
will meet with Mr.. Fleetwood in q few
days and together they will go over
the grounds and try to decide upon
what the assessment should be. They
will gather all the data possible from
other counties in the state as to rail-
road assessment and from other
states.
II is not the intention Of the citi-
zen's committee nor Of Mr.. Fleetwood
to cucumber the railroad company
with an excessive tax, but they viii
endeavor to secure an equitable ad-
justment and one that viii be agree
able to all concerned.
There is no doubt but the railroad
company will oppose any Increased
valuation over $500 per mile. but II
the other counties Of the state fall in
line and raise the assessment 10 49,

company will capitulate.
