WASHINGTON is IN
OPPOSITION TO PASSAGE OF
BILL WAS UNAVAILING.
Legislature Appropriates 100000
for Purpose of Participating in
Lewis and Clark Fair,

The passage by the Washington state
senate of the Rands bill providing for
the appropriation of 100000 for the
Lewis and Clark fair at Portland was
the feature OF last weeks session of the
legislature. While the bill received
only four negative votes on its final
passage, determined attempt was made
prior thereto in the committee Of the
whole to amend the appropriation and
cut it down to $4,000. The committee
amended the bill, however, SO that safe
guards are placed around the expendi-
ture of the money.
Five new bills appeared in the senate
and eighteen in the house. Bills to give
Seattle the short line of Green Lake;
to make the position of regimental com
mander of the national guard salaried
officer at $1,500; to create the office of
chaplain Of the state penitentiary at
salary Of $1,000; to give cities of the
first, second and third classes right to
eminent domain; to prohibit the utter
ing or circulation of trading stamps;
to provide for the election of justices OF
the peace and constables in cities Of the
first class, were among those offered.
An appropriation bill which carries
$4,000 for game and fish hatchery in

RUSSIAN STRIKERS
BEGIN REVOLUTION
Conditions at Home May Cause Car
Il to Terminate War With Japan.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 22.-This has
been day of unspeakable horror in st.
Petersburg. The strikers of yesterday,
goaded to desperation by a day of vio-
lence, fury and bloodshed, are in state
Of open insurrection against the govern
tnent. A condition almost bordering
on civil war exists in the terror stricken
Russian capital. The city is under
martial law, with Prince Vasilchikoff as
commander of over 5000 of the emperor's
crack guards. Troops are bivouacking
in the streets tonight and at various
places on the Nevsky prospect, the
main thoroghfare of the city.
Although the troops had been wound
ing and killing strikers in their attempts
to disperse them, few unlookers ex-
pected the horrible butchery which was
destined this morning to stain the corner
of the Admiralty gardens with human
blood. The crowd there persisted in re-
fusing to move on, clamoring for the
emperor and continually hurting abuse
at the troops, but attempted no violence.
Two companies of the Proebranjensky
guards, of which Emperor Nicholas him
self was formerly commander, formed
and marched at double quick toward the
fatal corner. Events followed with
awful swiftness. The commanding
officer shouted, "Disperse, disperse,
disperse" three times. Ma ny turned
to flee, but too late.
A bugle sounded and the men in the
front ranks sank to their knees and both
companies fred three volleys, the first
two with blank cartridges and the last
with ball. A hundred corpses strewed
the sidewalk. Many women were pierre
ed through the back as they were try
ing to escape. One boy Of 13 had his
skull pierced and rent by bullets.
Great splashes and streams of blood
stained the snow.
Only a few of the victims remained
alive, for the fatal volley was fired at a

is NOT PRACTICAL
SENATE BILL NO. Al WILL
HARDLY BECOME LAW.
Pierce's Proposed Law to Place School
Funds In Hands of
Treasurer.

Senator Pierce's senate bill No. Al,
providing that school clerks be relieved
from the duty of keeping school funds
and that they be kept by the several
county treasurers of this state, and that
all claims against the school districts be
paid by warrant on the county treasurer,
is meeting with serious objections, and
there is strong belief that the bill will
be defeated. There are some good
features about the proposed law, but it
also contains many items that are not
considered practical, contends the Trib-
une.
County Treasurer E. j. Sommeryille
has not as yet thoroughly digested the
bill, but hasty opinion leads him to
believe that the measure will not prove
as beneficial as the author of it con-
tends. Mr.. Sommerville received let
ter from one of the county treasurers Of
the state and that officer is radically
opposed to the measure. The letter
among other things states:
"Such law would result in great in
convenience to the people, especially to
those residing in districts remote from
the county seat, as they would be COM
PEELED to present claims against the dis
trict, no matter how small, to the county
treasurer for payment.
"The proposed change is not desir
able from the standpoint of the safe
keeping of the school funds. County
treasurers and school clerks, as rule,
are square men, but occasionally, how
ever, one is guilty of embezzlement Of
public funds. Under the proposed law
a county treasurer going wrong might
affect an entire county, while under the
existing law a school clerk handles only
funds belonging to single district.
II do not see any reason for the pro-
posed change and am therefore opposed
to it."

DefauIting Cashier Returns Physical
Wreck.
A Pendleton special says @. B. Wade,
the defaulting cashier of the First
National bank, returned to Pendleton
Saturday night after being absent a
year to the very day. 1t was generally
believed that Wade came back at the
solicitation Of his wife, but it is under
stood that his return was occasioned by
the district attorneys request who is
sued warrant for his arrest some time
ago. The pleading of intimate friends
and the action of the First National
bank in settling many claims, amount
ing to nearly $50, 900, are said to be the
cause of his nonarrest.
Wade's physical condition is almost
wreck, and he refuses to talk Of his
troubles. Col. j. HI. Raley, his attorney,
said:
"Mr. Wade returned at the request
of friends and persons interested in the
matter of clearing up the financial
trouble in which he became involved
year ago. His creditors have for the
most part been reimbursed, and no ac-
ton will be taken against him. His re-
turn at this time is to settle his dealings
in an amicable manner. /"
Wade was adiudged bankrupt April 8,
1904, with liabilities at $159,4l4 and
assets nearly 100000. His personal
property appraised $15,500 and real
estate at $4,000. Wade has been
staying in California most Of the year.
His wife returned last fall and has been
employed 10 local dry goods store as
seamstress.

distance of not more than 90 PAGES, and
so the ambulances had little work to do
The police recruited large number of
droskies (sleighs) to carry off the dead.
Heartrending scenes were witnessed as
wives, husbands and mothers came up
to claim their dead ones and we've car
ried off with them in the sleighs. The
blood which crimsoned the snow has
fired the brains and passions of the
strikers and turned women, as we'll as
men, into wild beasts and the cry of the
infuriated populace is for vengeance.
The sympathy of the middle classes is
with the workmen.
The most startling feature in the sit
uation is the news that several factories
in Moscow have closed and the workmen
in the old capitol of Russia are repeating
the tactics of their fellowworkmen In the
new capitol marching from shop to
shop and mill to mill, demanding the
establishments to be shut down.
The whole city is reported to be in a
state of great excitement over the news
of bloodshed, which precipitated the
strike scheduled for Wednesday. Mos
COW has more workmen and less troops
than st. Petersburg, and besides just
now this city is in the heart of the lib
eral movement, and the danger of
bloodier occurrences than have been
witnessed are here proportionately
greater The rising at Moscow is also
more likely to have greater results, in
dustrially and politically, than that Of
st. Petersburg.
If the strike becomes general all over
Russia and especially if the railroads are
drawn in, it might Immediately force the
nation to make peace with Japan. The
situation appears grave from every
standpoint, but the authorities, although
apparently somewhat bewildered, de-
clare their purpose to stand firm, main
tanning it their first duty to preserve
order, scouting the idea of an actual
revolution.

ExCURsIoN1sTs PLEASED.

over $50 Went to Hear DIR. Doris at the
Pendleton Christian Church.
The revival services at the First
Christian church last night were unique
and unusually interesting, says the
Pendleton Tribune. A large crowd OF
people thronged the building, among
them being preachers, elders, deacons
and members of the First Christian
churches Of Walla Walla, Milton and
Athena. Mr.. Doris held six weeks
meeting in Walla Walla, resulting in
seventy five additions to the church
there, prior to his coming to Pendleton.
The fact that $50 people came on the
excursion last evening to hear Mr..
Doris again is a great compliment to
the ability OF the great evangelist.
MIR. Doris last night spoke on "What
Will You Do With Christ" The visit
ing members we're delighted with the
sermon and expressed themselves as be-
ing highly pleased in making the trip.
