The Commercial Club football team
leaves this morning for Seattle, where
il will meet the team of the Seattle

attic is admittedly the strongest aggre.

Commercial Is to have the battle of its

When Seattle defeated Commercial,
ll.O, last season, the Astoria team was
badly crippled. Several of the men
were sick, and tie team was not nearly
so strong as this seasons aggregation.
Seattle scored twice in the last half in
1904. but will have better bunch to

Gar Decides That Dignity of Rus.
siia Demands II.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 12.-The govern
ment seemingly is about to make the
jrrevocable decision that prestige
abroad and the situation at nome neces-
state the continuation of the war till
peace with dignity is possible. Beyond
this point, however, no confirmation
exists, especially regarding the imned.
late development of the interior situa-
ton.
Emperor Nicholas is still apparently
vacillating as to whether he shall allow
NJ. Witte full sway, in the meantime
declining to permit Prince Sviatopolk-
Mirsky to retire. The latter persists in
the view that the confidence of the peo-
pie in the manner in which the reform
manifesto is to be worked is vital, and
this is impossible if the work is to be
left completely in the hands of the
bureaucrats. Direct consultation with
representatives of the classes interested
be considers essential
1t has now been definitely esta abIished
that the third section of the manifesto
as originally drafted by Minister Sviato-
polk -Mirsky provided for representa-

the Emperor, and it was stricken ont
against his earnest protest.
Prince Sviatopolk Mirsky's retire
ment from the Ministry of the Interior
continues to be considered only a mat
ter of short time, although there is
seeming evidence that the Emperor
hopes by temporlzing to avoid the
necessity of concentrating the power in
the hands of NJ. Witte. Should the
real storm break, however, no one
doubts that VI. Witte is the one strong
man in sight who can be called to the
bridge.
Socialists, revolutionists and other ex.
treme elements. as we'll as the subject
races of the iborders of Russia, all have
different ambitions, with which the con-
servative Liberals, whom the govern
ment really hopes to appease have little
in common; and, above all. Russia's
unnumbered millions of peasants, al
though they have manifested an alb.
horrence of war, principally for econom-
ic reasons, have given almt st no evil
dence of having been stirred by the

WORK STOPS.
Government Boats Cease LabOrs
Because of Lack Of Funds.

Portland. Jan. 13.-By the end of this
week not government vessel will he
in commission on the Columbia and
Willamette rivers or any of their tribu-
taries. 1t will be the first time for
many years past that such condition
of affairs has existed. The United
States engineers say it is due to the
fact that there are practically no fund :
with which to continue operations.
An order has been given out for the
dredge w. S, Ladd to be taken out Of
service the last of this week. She has
been working continuously b9tweei
Pillar Rock and Astoria for the past
four years, With the exception of few
days that she was laid up for repairs.
The Ladd has bept the channel from
shoaling in the lower river, and had i
not been for this, shipping would have
been so badly impaired that it would
have dropped to the zero mark Since
she hes been IN commission it is esti-
mated that che has removed enough
material from the bottom OF the Colum-
bia river to pave all the streets foot
deep in city fifty times as large a.
Portland. If her service were constant
ly needed in the lower harbor to main
tain ship channel many are wondering
what will happen If she should 90 out
of commission.
The tug Mendell has been laid up,
and the tug Lincoln will 90 INTO winter
quarters az soon as she supplies the bar
dredge Chinook with coal to take her
to San Francisco; they will have no
work to do when the other government
vessels are idle. Usually they have
been kept busy escorting vessels oper-
ated by the United States engineers be-
tween the different localities, where it
was desired to have work done.
Orders to tie up the dredge Wallowa,
which is employed on the Snake river.
were iseued yesterday. Two small dip
per dredges have been tied up, in ad
dition to all the barges and fatboats
owned and operated by the government
in these waters.
These craft will remain idle until
congress sees fit to make an appropri-
alton for the improvement of rivers and
Those vitallv interested hope
that means may be realized through the
medium of the civil sundry bill for con-
tnuing the more important projects al
ready under way. but they are far from
confident that such will be the case.
Influential shipping men are alarmed
at the situation and for the past few
lays have been in commun; cation with
Senator Burton, chairman of the river
and harbor committee, calling attention
% the Importance of granting an ap-
preparation at this session of congress
Relative to the matter, A. Tucker, man
ager Of the local firm of Meyer, Wilson
( Co., this morning said:
"We deplore the fact that the United
States engineers, on account OF lack of
unds, are compelled to stop all work on

make no provision for carrying on the
work of dredging the river between I
