PARTLY BLAMED
NOT JUSTIFIED IN FIRING ON
THE TRAWLERS
Report Of the Commission Finds Many
Extenuating Circumstances, How
ever, In the Russian Ad-
miraI's Favor
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PARIS, Feb. 25.-The international
commission on the North sea incident
finds THAT the opening of fire by Ad-
miral Rojestvensky was not justified"
The decision lengthily sets forth the
circumstances and incidents and gives
the opinion of the admirals on the va
rious important points involved. The
decision says that the delay of the
Russian transport Kamtchatka, fol-
lowing the breaking down of her ma
chinery, was perhaps the cause of the
incident. The commander of the Kam-
chatka signaled to Admiral Rojest-
vensky, during the evening, that he
had been attacked by torpedo boats.
The admiral, therefore, had reason to
believe he was attacked and gave or
ders for strict vigilance against the
possible approach of torpedo boats. The
majority of the commission considers
that Admiral Rojestvepsky's precau-
tions were not excessive in time of war,
particularly under the circumstances,
and that he had every reason to con-
slider the situation very alarming.
Firing Not Justified
"The commission" the decision says,
recognizes unanimously that the fish
ing fleet committed no hostile act and
the majority of the commissioners be-
ing of the opinion that there were not,
neither among the fishing boats nor in
their vicinity, any torpedo boats, the
opening of fire by Admiral Rojestven-
sky was not justified"
The decision further says the Rus
sian commissioner did not share in the
latter opinion.
I'm any event." the decision contin-
ues, 1.-The commissioners are glad to
recognize unanimously that Admiral
Rojestvensky personally did all he
could, from the commencement to the
end, to prevent the trawlers from be-
ing the object of fire by the Russian
squadron
Concerning the squadron's proceed
ing without assisting the trawlers, the
decision says:
"The commissioners are unanimous,
under the circumstances preceding and
following the incident, that there was
such uncertainty concerning the dan
ger to the squadron as to warrant Ad-
miral Rojestvensky in continuing his
route
"HOWeVer the ma ioritv reorat tha +
the admiral did not inform the neigh
boring maritime powers of what had
occurred"
The decision concludes as follosw:
"The commissioners declare that
their views as formulated are not of a
nature to cast any disrespect upon the
military valor nor upon the sentiments
of humanity of Admiral Rojestvensky
and the personnel of his squadron"

DISoUIETING REPORTS
Poland and the Caucasus Show Con-
stantIy Increasing Trouble

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 25.-The
reports today, both from Poland and
the Caucasus, are very disquieting.
Owing to lack of direct telegraphic
communication with many places in
the Caucasus, verifcation of the
countless rumors afloat is impossible,
but it Is positively known that almost
reign of terror exists in the territory
between the Caspian and Black seas.
Private vengeance has glutted the
streets of Baku, Batoum and Tifis with
the dead bodies of Armenians and Mus
sulmans.
Reports. however, of the capture of
Russian garrisons and of the firing of
the Black seas fleet in Poti, etc.. are
not confirmed
In Poland the strike situation is once
more assuming the critical stage. and
it is feared the authorities may again
be forced to adopt violent measures.
The railroad strike situation in South
ern Russia is also more serious Traffic
on half dozen roads has been stopped,
causing still further difficulties in the
transportation of grain and coal and
bringing business to a standstill.
Over 100000 carloads of grain await
movement in the Volga district, and
several hundred thousand tons of coal
for the iron and steel manufactures
cannot be budged from the Dinetcski
colleries.

The Asrarlan Agitation

Added to this is the dangerous
agrarian movement among the peas
ants of some northern provinces as a
result of the circulation OF a report
that the emperor on March will issue
manifesto providing for a general
division Of lands, which has been the
dream of the peasants ever since their
emancipation.
Here in st. Petersburg the workmen
are in a constant state of agitation.
The employers are unable to deal with
the men. who walk out and resume
work on alternate days. There are
now over 10000 men idle and walking
the streets.

COLLEGE REGENTS
IN MEETING
President Bryan Will Attend Meet
ing OF Agricultural College As
ISOLATION at Washington

The Board of Regents was in seg-
sion at the college this week, Re-
gents Barnard, Ettinger, McGregor
and Anderson being present. Hon. J.
j.. Brown, president of the Board, was
seriously i'll in Spokane and could not
attend. Aside from the regular rou-
tine work the Board accepted the new
Mechanical building. President Bryan
was Instructed to attend the meeting
of the Association of Agricultural coli
leges at Washington City in November.
The petition of the students for
more light in the dormitories was fav-
orably received. All agreed that a
light for each study table was needed.
The means of furnishing more light
was not agreed upon, however.
The resignation of Miss Morse as
properties was accepted. Miss Morse
is unable to take her position be
cause of the serious illness of her
mother. Mrs. VanDoren, to the de-
light of the girls of Stevens Hall, has
consented to stay until the vacancy
can be filled. 1t is the desire of the
girls that Mrs. VanDoren stay the en-
tire year. Plans for repapering and
decorating Stevens Hall were accepted
by the Board and Mrs. VanDoren will
go to Spokane next week to order the
necessary supplies.

FOOTBALL.

The showing made by the college
football team last Saturday, when 81
points were scored against the Spo-
kane High School in 40, misf +es, was
very satisfactory. The sspI.g..s, team
put up an excellentfs, ! SIS played web
together and stayed Fs @ffrHHsp till the
last. They made their yardage three
times against the heavier collge team.
They were quick in getting off and did
no fumbling. Little Bcin, the 100
pound quarter, was the admiration of
the crowd. The college boys showed
good form. were fairly fast and free
from fumbilng., Stewart was at CEN
ter, Collins and Reid at guard, Sapp
and Morgan at tackle, Goldsworthy
and Wexler at end, Miner at quarter,
Jones and Nissen at half and Hardy
at full. Jones and Nissen played in
way that assured good set of
backs. The game in general gave
promise of an excellent team.
The game is on with the Lewiston
High School today. Lewiston has
fast and gritty bunch coached by w.
C. Kruegel. The game between Lew
ston and U. of /. last Saturday re-
suited in a score of APP in favor of U.
of |.
The first of the championship series
of games will be played on Rogers
Field next Wednesday, when the col
lege team meets the team of the Mon
tana Agricultural College. U. of !.
meets the same team today and We'd
nesday's game will be of PECULIAR in
terest as it will give some idea of the
comparative strength of the teams of
w. S. C. and U. of |. Contracts
have been signed with Willamette
University and Oregon Agricultural
College, and the team will leave for
Oregon on Monday, Oct. 16. Two of
the hardest games of the season are
anticipated.

The week has been stormy and
disagreeable, and no progress has been
made with farm work, although all
grain that was sown before the rain is
growing finely. The rains are very
damaging to farmers in the north end
of the county,w here many crops were
not threshed, and are still standing
in the shock. At Cotton, about 1000
acres are reported unthreshed, includ-
ing the Barkhuff crop. AS the shocks
were badly torn by the wind during
harvest, the damage must be pretty
serious. In the vicinity of Pullman
the crop was well out of the way be-
fore the rain commenced.
The tax levy recently made by the
city council is 18 mills, divided as
follows: Indebtedness fund, mills;
bond interest, 3 mills; sinking fund,
3 mills; sewer fund.- mill; current
expense, % mills; park fund, %
mills. The aggregate is the same
as last year.
The new fixtures for the post Office
have been shipped, and it is expected
that the new office will be ready for
occupancy the first of next month.
VIM. Buckley has shipped TO the
Portland fair this week some fine
apples and pears grown on the Max
Hinrich's farm.

RIGHT-OF-WAY
Electric Line Till lyild Through TO Pull
man From Colfax in Near Future


The Spokane and Inland Electricl
railway line, through its agent, Wilbur
Yearsley, has closed deal for The pu,..-s
chase of right-of- through Colfax
for the extension of the line through
to Pullman, the plans of the company
being outlined in press dispatch pubs
lished in the Spokesman Review of
last Tuesday. The dispatch states
that the deal was closed Monday, when
Mr.. Yearsley bought the right Of way
through Colfax for the extension of the
road to Pullman. Mr.. Yearsley bought
the bed of the South Palouse river from
H. S. Hollingsworth, from the court
house south to where the river. crosses
Main street at Cooper lake. The con-
sideration is given as $4,000. The deed
was signed Tuesday forenoon by Mr..
and Mrs. Hollingsworth.
The property Purchased includes the
river and both banks through Colfax.
Mr.. Hollingsworth was the original
settler where the business section of
Colfax now stands, having taken the
land from the government. about IS
years ago. In selling the property
now occupied by the business part of
Colfax, Mr.. Hollingsworth reserved
the river bed and few feet on each
side. 1t is this that he has sold to
the electric railway promoters.
1t is the intention of the company
to fill in portions of the river, build.
ing retaining wall where the strip
of land is too nasr5N foa a d,sd Sess
between the river and the c. RI s. NJ
Co.'S. tracks, and run its road along
the west bank of the river, between
the stream and the tracks of the Col
fax Moscow branch of the O. r. & N.
Co. This will give the road an outlet
through Colfax, without being hindered
by street crossings and without occu-
plying business streets. This outlet
will not interfere with the right of
way of the O. R. & N company, of
the electric company's lines or the
county roads or city streets.
This move on the part of the railroad
company was a surprise to nearly all
of the citizens of Colfax, as it was sup
poosed the broad would run south on Mill
street and cross the river on that
street in the south part of town. The
route as selected by the company
saves the building of two bridges,
either of which would probably cost as
much as the right of way through town
mas cost 1t.
The purchase of this right of way
shows conclusively that the road will
not stop at Colfax, but build on to
other towns, and the announced pur-
pose of Mr.. Graves and his associates,
when the first preliminary surveys
were made that the road would be
built to Pullman and Moscow, with
probably an extension of the line to
the Snake river, seems in a fair way
to be fulfilled. One of the promoters
of the line stated that the people of
Pullman will now be given an oppor-
tunity to assist in securing the road
and, if the proper inducements are
offered, the line will be built.

GOV. BROWARD IS

1t begins to look as if Governor
Broward was really in earnest in re-
gard to his plans for the drainage and
reclamation of the vast territory known
as the everglades says the Tropical
Sun. About week ago the Jack son.
vile papers stated the Governor and
Mrs. Broward and their seven daugh-
ters had started on an extended trip
West, and it was then thought that the
trip was one Of pleasure. Now it de-
velopes that the Governor will combine
business with pleasure, as will be
shown by the following, which is taken
from recent issue Of the Chicago
Record Herald:
1.-The everglades of Florida, which
comprise more than 100000 acres,
will be drained and brought into con-
dition for cultivation if the mission of
Governor n. B. Broward and Attorney
General w. H. Ellis of the peninsula
state proves successful. The two Off
GERS arrived at the Auditorium last

we sincerely hope that our esteemed
