CORON Err MARCH

the death did and an inquest should
have been held, inasmuch as 1t may
appear that the death was an unlaw.

Is Mobilzing.

Stockholm, July 1.-Great excitement
is prompted in the circles of those who
declare that there can be no peaceable
settlement of the dissolution of the

tire Norwegian army is mobilizing, the
calls for troops being recent; that the
troops are drilling energetically. and
that large bodies of infantry are being
quietly sent to the frontier.

OdeSSa, July line POtemk1ne, the
rebel ship of the Russian Black Sea
feet that has terrorized Odessa since
Tuesday, when her crew mutinied and
replaced the Russian royal standards
with the red flag of anarchy, and with
guns trained upon the city, terrorized
the Inhabitants and prompted the So
cialists and striking laborers to defy
the authorities and commit deeds of
violence to both the citizens and prop
erty, surrendered to five ships of the
Black Sea fleet at A o'clock yesterday
afternoon without firing one shot of
resistance.
WILL BE SHOT.
The mutineers. who NUMBER $50 men.
have been taken aboard the various
( vessels of the fleet, heavily ironed, and
II the st. Petersburg authorities, for
( the sake of preventing further trouble
among the dissatisfied men of the feet,
do not interfere, 1t is almost GER
tainty that the rebels, to man, will
be shot to death.
The coming of the loyal fleet was
awaited with apparent frenzy by the
4 authorities. When the noon hour
: brought with 1t two vessels which came
close to the harbor, and, after viewing
the situation from long range retired,
there was dread that the two war
ships sighted were not to be relied
upon to capture the pirate, and that
the -Potsmkine was to be-lsft- in COM
mand of the harbor and menace to
life and property in the city.
!. Later in the evening, however the
two warships, reinforced by three 9TH
ers. in full battle array, came steam
ing towards the harbor The five Rus
!. sian ships were
CLEARED FOR ACTION
and made straight for the rebel They
formed semi-circle around the Po-
temkine, and from the admiral's flag
ship there came demand that the
Potemkine surrender.
: Without awaiting reply, ten boat
loads of Marines fully armed and each
boat load made up of picked men who
could be relief on by the officers to
<stand true to Russias cause, put out
from the battleships for the Potem-
kline.
Without firing one shot, but only af-
ter holding the marines off from board
ing them for few minutes by a half
hearted demonstration and a demand
that they (the mutineers) be promised
unconditional amnesty, demand that
was not entertained by the officers for
a moment, the rebellious crew gave
way, allowed the marines to board and
take possession of their ship, and SUBJ
mitted t,5
WITHOUT RESISTANCE
to being manacled and carried aboard
the several ships as prisoners.
The first officer to board the ship cut
j. down the red flag that had fioated for
{ four days from the ships stern, and
amid the cheers of the crowds ashore
and the crews of the five loyal ships
the Russian standard was again raised
over the Potemkine.
Accompanying the five warships were
pCoTe Vi uore VI torpeuo DodI ue-
stroyers.
The men of the Potemkine are being
held on the triple charge of mutiny
!, murder and refusal to help save the
: port of Odessa from incendiaries.
q While the belief is general among
= the official classes and the peaceful
citizens of Odessa that the men will be
Z hung, 1t Is pointed out that 1t will be
extremely risky to shoot nearly o
thousand men while majority of the
crews of the vessels of the Black Sea

O. R. & N. BRIDGE AT LEWISTON
VIII Cost 100000 and BE 1000 Feet
Long.


The boring machines to be used in
determining the depth to bedrock at
the site of the o. r. & y. company S
bridge across the Clearwater river
here have arrived and the work of
making the sounding has commenced.
Engineer F. NJ. Kettenring is in charge
of the work.
The new bridge will be approXi-
mately 1000 feet long and will have a
draw 240 feet long. The rest of the
bridge will be trusses each $50 feet
long. The bridge will be supported
by eight concrete piers and the cost
of the structure it is estimated will
exceed 100000. Eight months will
be required to complete the bridge
after the work commences.
At the present time so men and a
dozen teams are employed in the rail-
road construction, opposite lewiston
but it is believed the force will be ma
terially increased during the next
two weeks as harvest hands are now
arriving from the sections where the
threshing has been completed.
On account of the scarcity of labor
and the extreme low water which has
destroyed river navigation, the road
from Riparia to Lewiston will not be
completed until several months later
than was first xpected-probably not
before next July.

GOVERNOR FOLK IN PENDLETON
Cheered the Community With His
Presence for Six Hours.

For six mortal hours Joseph w.
Folk, the great governor of Missouri,
waited in Pendleton last night. But 1t
was between the hours of p. m. and
this morning, during which time the
governor and the other members of
his party lay asleep in their berths
within their special car, the "Kemble. "
The car was the last one attached to
No. 5, which train arrived here last
night about 1 o'clock, but was COM
PEELED to remain until morning while
waiting for the arrival of No. 2 after
it's accident at Barnhart.
1t was dawn before the derailed
eastbound passenger reached here and
thus made it possible for No. with
its noted passenger to move on west
ward. However the Missourians are
either not early risers, or else the rain
made them sleepy this morning. for
but two Of the party had arisen when
the train pulled out at o'clock. one
of these was an officer in uniform,
possibly Adjutant General DeArmond,
while the other was in civilian attire
The governor had not arisen

A rain storm, the like of which has
not been experienced here for some
months. passed over Pendleton and
at least a portion of the county last
evening.
1t was about $3.50 when the storm
broke here, and for 10 or 20 minutes
rain fell i'm torrents. Drain pipes
from roofs We're filled to overflowing,
cutters in the streets were flooded,
and the earth was given a soaking
such as it had not experienced for
many a day. However, in most cases
the bitches and drains were capable
of carrying off the water and no
damage was done, except in a few
cases from clogged rain pipes.
The drain from the roof of the new
gymnasium building became clogged
from refuse on top of the building
and as a result the pipe burst in the
gymnasium room, flooding the floor
and soaking through to the room be-
meath. No loss was sustained,
though.
Reports from south of Pendleton
show that the storm was more severe
there than here, and that it came
from that direction. However, no
damage has been reported from any
where except Barnhart, where the
railroad track was washed out
though II is said that several small
water spouts occurred in canyons
southwest of here.
Passengers who came down on the
Walla Walla train last evening, reach
ing here about o'clock. say that
practically no rain had fallen the
other side of Adams, when they came
through. Consequently it woult
seem the storm was less severe, ant
also later i'm reaching that portion Of
the county.
While minor damage was done II
places by the sudden rainfall, it Il
generally held that the downpour wa'
beneficial Though temporary dam
age has been done to the roads, they
will soon be in better condition thar
before. owing to the settling of thu
dust. Also, it is said the rain wal
in good season to start the new gras
to growing on the ranges which haC
become unusually dry during th'
summer.
