Railway Employees Protest Against q
Reduction Of Freight Rates.


Springfield, Ill.,, July 11.-Represen.
tatives of all the railroad employees as.
sociations in the state to the number
of 100 appeared before Governor De-
neen during the day to protest against
reduction of freight rates by the
state board Of railroad and warehouse
commissioners. The governors petit
toners claimed to represent 5000
railway employees. They said reduc-
ton of freight rates did not so much
mean the reduction of their wages as
1t did shorter hours, slower trains and
less trains, and other economies which
would affect and reduce earnings OF
railroad employees. They held that re-.
duction of rates would not benefit re-
tailers, but only shipners and iobbers.
Governor Deneeh said he had re-
ceiyed communications from thou
sands Of persons asking that rates be
reduced. These requests he had, sent
to the state board of railroad and ware
house commissioners, which will hear
the case, and the governor recon-
mended that the railroad employees
ale their protest against reduction
with that body. He said this matter
ought to be settled now for all time.

washington, July 11.-Assistant Sec
fetary of State PIERCE has announced
that the plenipotentiaries of Russia
and Japan have agreed on Portsmouth,
N. H., as the meeting place for the
sessions of the peace conference to
be held outside of Washington. The
sessions will be held in the govern
ment naval yard at Portsmouth, in the
new building just completed there.
Third Assistant Secretary of State
Peirce has been specially commission
ed by the president to make all ar
rangements for the meeting of the
|plenipotentiaries at Portsmouth and is
preparing to leave for that place to
confer with the commandant of the
navy yard. The meeting will be held
in the general storehouse.
Orders have been issued for the
Mayflower to join the Dolphin at Oy-
Jster Bay early in August to receive
the plepipotentiaries, who will pay
their respects to the president and
be formally presented by him to each
other.
The selection of Portsmouth was
mutually acceptable to the peace en-
voys Of the belligerents, as besides
being a cooY and comfortable place
for this season Of the year it has the
advantage of Offering building on
government soil, which is regarded
rs an important consideration. While
the sessions will be held in the navy
yard the plenipotentiaries and their
STATS will live in nearby hotels.

it i'm to their hearts content. The
nearest big exposition heretofore was
that at Omada, 1000 miles away.
Comparatively few residents of the
states west of the Rocky Mountains
have visited any of the other Worlds
Fairs. The Portland show is some
thing new under the sun to them and
they show their appreciation by pay
ing the gate money.
Thousands of people from the mid
die west and east have visited the
fair, and the local hotel bookings in
dictate that the stream of visitors
from points to the eastward will be
much larger during July, continuing to
increase until the close of the fair,
October Is. California, though it's
northern border is a matter of 400
miles from Portland, has contributed
largely to the early attendance. Dur.
ing the first three weeks nearly 1000
Californians registered their names
and addresses at the California state
building, and this represents but a
small proportion Of the California PEG.

PREMIER ROUVIER SATISFIED.
French interests Protected in Moroc-
can Agreement.


Paris, July 11-Premier, Rouvier
submitted to the chamber of deputies
during the day the notes exchanged
between him and Prince Won Radolin
constituting the Franco-German agree
ment relative to Morocco. Great inter
est attached to the statement owing
to the feeling that the agreement had
averted a situation recently involving
the, possibilities of war.
NJ. Rouvier followed the reading of
the notes with a detailed explanation
of the negotiations. He declared that
the understanding now between Ger
many and France was formed upon
the essential principles fully recogniz-
ing the special interests of France. He
added:
"The accord thus realized leaves in
tact the arrangements France had pre-
viously concluded with other powers.
At no moment of the negotiations did
the discussion turn upon the Anglo
French agreement or the Franco-Span-
ish agreement. The declarations made
In the notes and the formal assurances
from the representatives of the Ger
man government permit me to affirm
that Germany does not question our
accord with Great Britain and Spain.
How could it be otherwise since it is
evident that accords between tygs p6N-
ers are not matters for alse1ssion with
third poyer: The chamber can
.eiicitate itself in the happy result of
the negotiations between France and
Germany, thanks to the sincere efforts
of both governments"
M. Rouvier's statement was raptur-
ously applauded on both sides of the
chamber.

Portland, July 11.-Most surprising
and satisfying all facts in connection
with the Lewis and Clark Exposition
is the attendance. During June, the
opening month, the admissions were
419,179, by official count. This breaks
the record for exposition attendance
in America, for the first month not
excepting ANY exposition that has been
held, when the population of the teri
tory contiguous to the Fair is taken
into consideration. The record is not
merely broken, but is smashed to
smithereens, the Portland attendance
being from 100 to 200 per- cent. better
than that of any predecessor.
The exposition at Omaha, which COM
pares with the Portland enterprise in
general size, was located in the terri
tory having a population of about
100000 people within the 500 mile
radius. That radius extended north,
east, south and west. The 500 mile
radius is sliced off on one side by the
Pacific ocean, which is only hun
dred miles distant; within what is
left of the radius there are only about
1 100000 inhabitants; and yet Omaha
had but 1851 admissions during
the first month, as compared with the
Portland 415,179. Within Omaha's ra-
dius were Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas
City, Des Moines and other very popu-
lous centers. Portland has only such
cities as Seattle and Tacoma, on the
Puget Sound. San Francisco is more
than 700 miles away. Portland itself
contains about 100000 people.
This record was made during a
month that was unusually rainy, and
the rainy days cut down attendance.
Had June been as sunny and glorious
as the normal June in Portland, there
is no doubt that the remarkable figure
of half a million admissions would
have been reached. But with the Of
fetal figures at 419,179, the people of
Portland and the officials of the Fair
are agreeably surprised and highly
gratified. It has been stated by one
experienced expositionist, who has
been connected with several previous
fairs, that 10000 admissions during
June would have been as many as
could have been expected, consider
ing the experience of the other big
fairs. Several reasons contribute to
this remarkable attendance. One. is
the fact that the exposition was prac-
tically in complete state when it
opened June LIST. Another is that the
bewildering beauty of the grounds is
an irresistible lure. But perhaps the
most important fact is that this is the
very first exposition which the people
