WHOLE NATION
GOES ON STRIKE
Revolution Causes Terror Throughout
Empire of the Gar.
Rebels Try to Provoke Conflict, But
Government Seeks to Avoid 1t
St. Petersburg IN a State Of Panic
and Streets Deserted Except for
Troops.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 28.-That the
present situation cannot end without
bloodshed is the conviction prevailing
in the higher government circles, which
from moment to moment are expecting
a conflict between the troops and the
revolutionists in St. Petersburg, and
news of trouble in the provinces, espec-
tally at Kharkoff, which has been de-
clared in state of siege. Governors
have been instructed to take all neces-
sary precautions to preserve order.
One of the most important members
of the emperor's council received the
Associated Press representative today
and said, with every evidence OF deep
emotion:
"The situation is grievous and
painful one, and l see no way out of it
except by the employment of armed
force. Please do not m'sunderstand
me. l look upon the prospect with
tears, but it is becoming more and more
evident that the troops will be COM
PEELED to fire. l can see no other pos
sible outcome The revolutonsts and
terrorists are absolutely bent on forcing
a conflict upon us, and nothing we can
do will satisfy them. The extension Of
the suffrage and the right of assembly
will be nothing to them. They are de-
termined to have bloodshed and we
cannot avoid the issue. 1t is fright
ful disease from which Russia is suffer-
ing, and sad and painful as it is, the
government must act with force.'
In the city, in spite of the absence of
disorders, there is condition OF actual
panic. Half of the population is COM
PEELED to rely on candles or kerosene
lamps for light, while the street lamps
in a large part of the city have been
The Streets are deserted except for
the squads of infantry and cavalry
which are everywhere.
The shops begin to close in the after
noon in even the Morskaia, Nevsky and
other central streets. Many of the in
hab.tants shut themselves IN their
houses, scarcely venturing out to make
necessary purchases of food, which has
to famine prices.

NO APPROPRIATION.
Taft Will Not Recommend Money for
Bar or Cello Canal.

Washington, Oct. 80. - Secretary
Taft, in his estimates this year, will
not recommend any appropriation for
completing jetty work at tho mouth of
the Columbia river, nor will he ask for
an appropriation to continue the con-
struction of The Dalles- Cello canal
Army engineers who have been advised
of the secretary's attitude are of the
opinion that, unless some special legis-
lation is enacted making appropriations
for these projects, work will have to be
suspended before another river and
harbor bill can pass, something that is
deplored by the engineers as much as
it will be by the people of the North
vest.
Mr.. Taft is not discriminating against
the Columbia river in refusing to ask
for an appropriation this winter, for he
has decided to recommend no appropri-
ations for river and hs.rbor works.
Those projects known as continuing
contracts will be cared tor in the sun
dry civil bill without any recommend
alton on the part of the War depart
ment, but, unfortunately for the Co.
lumbia river, neither the bar project
nor the Cello canal is in this class.
Had Oregon full representation in
congress this winter, good strong del
egation, it might be possible, with the
aid of the delegations from Washington
and Idaho, to have the bar project
made continuing contract and thereby
provide means for getting annual ap-
preparations until the work is complet-
ed. But with only one representative
in Washington and no representation in
the house. where such legislation usu-
ally originates, this accomplishment is
considered impossible.

FIRST SHIPMENT OF COPPER.
Douglas Mining Firm Sends Three
Tons to Tacoma SmeIter,

Glendale-Swank & Burnett have
made the first shipment of copper ore
ever sent from this vicinity to the Ia
coma Smelling company. The ship
ment consisted of three tons of ore, es.
timated to average above 80 per cent
pure copper. though goodly portion of
it is upward of 40 per cent.
These men have not an extensive de-
posit of this ore, but from such devel-
opment of their property as has been
made the owners are confident they
have valuable mine and that further
tunneling will develop more extensive
deposit. Large deposits of copper ore
have been discovered in a number of
places within few miles of Glendale,
but SO far none have been found that
warrant extensive development, though
it is believed that such will yet be dis
covered.
The location of the deposit from
which the above ore comes is about 1S
les east of Glendale, on the west eide
of Green mountain, mountain mined
and prospected for gold for the last 20
years, more or less.

Rich Ledge in Mohawk Valley.

Eugene - Residents of the Mohawk
valley, in the vicinity of Marcola,
about 20 miles northeast of Eugene,
are considerably excited over the dis
covery of gold bearing quatrz in the
hills in that locality. When pounded
with hammer, gold in large quanti-
ties can be seen in the quartz. Ex-
perienced mining men say the ore is
rich, and if the ledge is found to be
extensive, there will be big rush of
people there to secure claims. No
assays have yet been made, but the ore
taken out is apparently rich.

MANY NOW DESERT.
Army is Little Considered in Time of
Peace by Americans.


Washington, Oct. 3l.-Major Cen
eral +. c. Ainsworth, the m ltary sec
retary, in his annual port, devotes
much attention to desertlons from the
army. "Those who know how the cam
teen came to be abolished" he says,
''are not hopeful of its restoration !;
there is no likelihood of any such in
crease in the soldiers pay as will offset
the greater inducement offered in civil
pursuits; the comforts and even luxur-
les that are furnished to enlisted men
in our service are even now criticised
by some as being not only extravagant
but injurious in their effect on men
whose real business is to fight and
march, encumbered with few comforts
and no luxures; and the discipline
and instruction to which the soldier is
now subjected are not likely to be re-
laxed in future.
"Our people have little real interest
in the army in time of peace, and from
the earliest day of the republic have
been accustomed to look upon it as a
more or less unnecessary institution.
Enlistments in the army in time of
peace is not uncommonly regarded as
evidence of worthlessness on the part
of the recruit.
1T is safe to predict that desertions
from the army will continue to be ex-
cessive until there shall have been a
radical change of public sentiment to-
ward the army and until the deserter
shall come to be regarded as the GRIM
inal that he is, to be ostracized and
hunted down as reentlessly as any
other transgressor of the laws"

September the imports of materials for
use in manufacturing amount to s422,
600, 900, and the exports of manufac-
lures to $424, 900, 900. Manufactured
materials imported in the nine months
of 1905 were practically twice as great
in value as in 1890.

WITHOUT A HEAD.
Gar VaciIIates While Russian Revo-
luton Grows.


luton Grows.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 30.-While the
day passed quietly without bloodshed
in the Russian capital, and while the
city is outwardly calm, today's devel-
opments all indicate that a crisis is
imminent. Although the streets are
filled with troops, and reinforcements
are now pouring in from Finland, the
government seems utterly powerless to
cope with the situation, and many calm
observers seem seriously tozbelieve that
the present regime is tottering to its
fall.
Differences have developed between
Count Witte and General Trepoff, and
while the precious moments paes, the
emperor, surrounded by the imperia
family, remains shut up at Peterhoff,
seemingly still hestating as to what
course to pursue.
The situation cannot we'll be exagger-
ated. With the present indecision of
the emperor, the government has
neither head nor policy to meet the
crisis, and things seem to be drifting
toward anarchy. The revolutionists
openly declare that the government has
ceased to exist and that nothing re-
mains to his majesty except to abdi-
cate. With firm head at the helm,
however, all might quickly be changed.
Representatives of the Associated
Press drove through all sections of the
city today. Troops were everywhere
in evidence, as if to overawe the peo-
pie, but although there were many ru-
mors of bloody collisions, none of them
could be authenticated. There were
great crowds of workmen in the indus
trial quarters, but they were orderly.

ment to provide libraries. Thirty
states maintain state library boards

uniform is an innovation, and at the
