Joint WHEAT RATE
In EFFECT AUG. 20

Olympia, July 3O.-It is announced
at the Office of the railroad commits
sion that the joint wheat rate order
will be issued August /, becoming eff
fective twenty days thereafter.
1t had been planned to issue the or
der about July 20, but its actual pro-
mitigation has been delayed ten days
It is now believed at the Office of the
commission that the order will be
promptly aequiesced in by the rail-
roads, and it is even regarded as prob
able that new joint wheat rate tariffs
will be issued by the railroads before
the expiration of the twenty days
granted under the commission law for
orders of the commission to 60 into
effect.
At the Office of the commission there
seems to be no information as to why
the railroads have changed their atti-
tude toward the joint wheat rate order.
Until recently both sides were pre-
pairing for contest in the courts.
But, whatever the reason, the word
has gone out that the order will be
accepted and Immediately acquiesoed
in by the roads, and that tariffs will
be issued accordingly, in time for the
movement Of this years crop.

RUSSIAN PROLETARIAT REFUSES
GOVERNMENT CHALLENGE.
Peasants Now Busy In Harvest
Fields and there Il. Also Con-
siderable Educational Work to
Be- Done Before Revolution
Could Hope to Succeed.

st. Petersburg, July 30.-It is evi.
dent that the refusal Of the proleta-
riat organizations to accept the chal-
lenee at this time upon the grounds of
the governments choosing does not
mean that it is not their intention to
give battle later. Indeed, the prole-
tariat Organizations. backed by all po-
litical parties, including the group of
toll, social revolutionists, socialists
and the Peasant League, have thrown
themselves into the campaign Of agita-
ton for q simultapeous general strike,
to be followed BY rising in tho cities
and country.
The time is not convenient for the
peasantry. as the country is in the
midst of the harvest season, but the
leaders believe a month or six weeks,
at most, will suffice for this, and con-
fidently expect that their campaign
will be aided by the policy of uni
versal repression, which the govern
ment will be compelled to adopt in its
open warfare against the revolution.
The Constitutional Democrats are
holding aloof, tearing to cast in their
lot with their TO mer allies, yet they
are ready, if the masses rise and the
government fails, to seize the results
Of the victory.
Premier Stolypin evidently is sim
cere and honest in his desire to inaug-
urate policy of "strong handed re-
FORM" but the best evidence that he
is not master Of the situation is the
failure of his appeal for the co-opera-
ton Of men like Count Heyden, M.
Shipof and Prince Lvoff, who, on
their part, have seen too many we'll
intentioned ministers broken on the
wheel Yhen they decline to conform
to the policy dictated by, the court
cabal.
The lighting organization of the.
social revolutionists, which declared q
truce while parliament was in session,
has decided to reopen it's campaign OF
active terrorism. Its work will be
supplemented by similar fighting
organization" recently formed among
th6social democrats.
Over million copies of manifesto
to the army, navy, peasants and work
men, adopted Saturday and already
printed at Viborg and st. Petersburg,
have been started into the interior
through underground revolutionary
channels.
It is learned that almost the deter
mining factor for the postponement of
rising was the information that many
of the fresh troops, who had been in
troduced into st. Petersburg and Mos
COW, we're strangers to the revolution

selected for this reason.

TRANsvAAL CONSTITUTION
Government Proposes Equal Rights for
Boer and Britain.

Boer and Britain.
London, Aug. LIN a speech Of
great moderation, carefully designed
to propitiate his opponents Winston
Spencer Churchill, parliamentary Sec
rotary of the colonial Office in the
house of commons yesterday after
noon, explained the government g
plans to confer constitution on the
Transvaal. Dwelling on the urgency
of the question, he described the
Transvaal as the nerve center of South
Africa and said the new country re-
produced in miniature all the dark
and tangled problems of the, old estab-
lished European states.
The governments guiding principle,
he said, had been to treat the Boer
and Britain alike and to make no dis
tinction in granting the boon Of Brit
fish citizenship both to the men who
fought Loyalty for Great Britain and
to those who resisted the British arm
with desperate courage.
The population of the Rand, Mr..
Churchill continued, equalled that of
the whole rest of the country, and on
the basis of the census it had been de-
cided to allot thirty-two members to
the Rand, one to Krugersdorp, six to
Pretoria and thirty to the rest of the
country.
The ransvaal assembly would consist
of sixty-nine salaried members, elected
for five years Either the English or
the Dutch language could be used in
the transaction of public business.
The speaker added that there would
be an express stipulation against sane
tioning labor of q servile character.
The government proposal must be &C
ceuted or rejected as q whole.

Early Lessons In Gossip.
We are not gossips, but when Tom

GRAVES uNDERLlE HOVER

Some Rare Indian Relics.
Hover, WASH. Aug. Lit has inst
been discovered that the present town
site OF Hover was once an Indian bury.
ing ground. While the excavations
were being made for the First Presby-
terian church the workmen unearthed
several Indian rglics, among them be-
ing tomahawks, beads, peace pipes and
peculiar shaped dishes. which resem.
bic ordinary bone dishes. The strana-
est articles brought to light, however.
We're q dozen or more large copper
spheres, about the size of q baseball.
and which were strung together with
copper chains. Dangling from each
bass is Q spangle about two inches In
diameter, and each contains hero.
glyphics unknown to any OF the per
sons who have seen the chain. which
has been purchased by Theodore ].
kersten, OF Moran prairie, Spokane.
and taken to his home.
Mr. Kersten, who has spent consid.
cradle time in archaeological research
in minnesota and other middle West
ern fields, says the chain is undoubt-
eddy the work of Aztecs. Il ia ann
posed that the chain was carried -by,
the Aztecs up along the Pacific coast
and captured by the Indians during
one OF their raids and kept as trophy
OF war. Mr.. Kerston purposes send
ing the chain to Mexico to be exam
ined by experts for their opinion.
The ancient burial place in which
this strange emblem of an early race
was hidden in the prettiest site along
all the Columbia, according to the
statements of old river men. From
a. bank of ten feet at the. waters edge
it rises to gentle slope until it meets
the foothills of the Horse Heaven
country.
Indians who are now seen occasion
ally at points along the valley, say the
great Horse Heaven country received
its name from the fact that the Indians
had selected what is now the present
site of Hover as the happy hunting
ground for their horses. It was also
at this point that Clarke stopped for
his great feast with the friendly tribes
before continuing on his way down
the river to the sea.

Want Rules Revised

There have been innumerable cases
of this sort in recent years. Unless
the rules of court procedure be revised,
with changes of all kinds being per-
mitted and their adoption even being
urged, although the real body (of the
law may be perfect, its general oper-
alton will not be success and the ju-
dlclal administration will not be i'm
proved.
Heretofore at the various ports of
international trade in China foreign
lawyers have already been permitted
to practice in the courts. Worst of
all, even the yamens, following the
custom of employing advisors, have
depended upon foreigners for defense
IN Chinese suits, with the result that
much obstruction has been experien-
ced.
For instance, when a case OF in
tefnatlonal concern has arisen, they
nave invited such an attorney to con-
uuct the case, although there is Ger
'alnly no right principle of action re-

aetrlment of his own people. On
