KAISER OVERWORKS
ALL HIS MINISTERS
Chancellor Won Buelow May Have to
Resign if Emperor's De-
mands Continue.

BERLIN, May 12.-Chancellor Won
Buelow is being worked TO death by
his hustling sovereign. That was un-
doubtedly the explanation Of his re-
cent breakdown in the reichstag to
which the Morocco affair was a con-
tributing cause.
The Kaiser expects too much Of all
ministers Besides their official duties
they must attend every social function
that the Emperor honors with his pres
enCe, and that means getting into uni
form two or three hundred times a
year. The chancellor also has TO enter
tain the diplomatic corps and the reich
stag, and TO attend various diplomatic
functions. He has not a moment OF
real leisure.
Princess Buelow is anxious about
her husband. and will not allow him to
sacrifice himself. They are both
wealthy, and the princess, who comes
OF noble Italian family. possesses "A
splendid palace on the Grand Canal in
Venice.
1t is likely Princess BUelow will
persuade her husband 20 resign his Of
fice before he dies in harness. and that
they Will retire to a life Of ease in

The treatment Of strikers in Pennsyl-

wealth has become the only standard
BY which men are measured. In no
country in the world. not even in Rus

Walker had again disappeared.
Not long ago, while in the Little
Rockies. where he was received as a
mining expert, he rendered a magnif1-
cent banquet to his friends. AT his di-
rection the hotel proprietor secured the
choicest of everything. On the evening
of the banquet the guests arrived and
patiently awaited the arrival of their
host. Walker failed to appear and was
not again heard of until his last esca-
pade.
At the trial at Boulder Walker de-
MED that he had ever been in Lander

lapse of memory. He insists that he
is a man with a double personality;
that for years he has been afflicted
with loss of memory, which at inter-
walls covers long periods of time.

Columbia Valley VIII Be Portion Of
System.
SENATOR RANDs GIVES INFORMATION
COMPANY WILL BUILD DOWN THE
NORTH BANK OF THE
COLUMBIA.

The attention of the superior court of
Clark county has been occupied for two
days with the suit of the Portland &
Seattle Railway company, by which
it is sought to condemn right-of-way
across lands towned by the Columbia
Valley Railway company, is the report
that comes from Vancouver.
Senator Rands' testimony brought
the defendant corporation out into the
open. as he admitted freely that it is
a Hartman concern.
The Columbia Valley was first locat-
ed along the Columbia river from Wal
lula to Vancouver in 1899, and the Har-
riman hackers intended then to build
a line of railway there. The forma-
ton of the Northern Securities merger
changed their plans, and nothing has
been done to occupy right-of-way ex-
cept by harassing and filibustering
against the Portland & Seattle.
While the Columbia Valley road has
no mileage and is projected west from
Vancouver to nwaco. no right of-way
has been acquired below Vancouver.
Mr.. Rands said that a resolution has
been passed directing counsel for the
company to prepare a petition asking
the secretary of war for permission
TO bridge the Columbia at Wallula, but
that no plans have yet been prepared
for such bridge.
So far as the Columbia Valley road
is concerned it's identity is now no Sc
cret IT is a Hartman project, and
while little has been done to make II
a working project, according to Senator
Rands. its hackers have good lnten-
tions. and are not occupying strategic
noints on the north bank of the CO.
,umbia merely to keep the Hill lines ou'
of Portland, but for the purpose OF
building there lines of road on right
of-way secured nearly seven years ago

GREATLY EXCEEDS LOWEST ESTIMATE
BUILDING COMMITTEE MEETS TO-
DAY BUT DID NOT FORMALLY
AWARD COTRACT.

Bids for the erection of Walla
Walla's new Y. M. C. A. building were
opened by the building committee at
Architect Osterman's office in the Ba-
ker-Boyer building yesterday after
noon. but owing to all the bids receiv-
ed exceeding the original estimates, the
committee did not award the contract.
Rids received were as follows:
Mclean & McCallum, $53,960;
Grandstand & Agnew, $55,376; Nick
whirk, s55,7OO; Charles Lambert, $54,-
965.
The building committee held meet
ing at Architect Osterman's office
again this morning and practically
decided to award the contract to Nc
Lean & McCallum, although formal
resolution to that effect will not be
adopted until certain matters connect
cd with the contract are settled.
The contracts for the heating plant
and plumbing were taken under consid-
Grafton. According to the best bids re-
ceiyed. the new building will cost In
the neighborhood of $4,000 more than
the original estimates. This is account
ed for by the big advance in all kinds
Of building material since the original
estimates were made. Slight changes
in the general construction OF the
buildine are under consideration to
bring the cost down to the original
estimates. Just what action In this
respect will be taken members OF the
building committee said today they
were not prepared to say. In all prob
ability. the building will be erected
on the lines originally intended, ire
spective of the increased cost, wh1cn
If is believed can be raised by a sys-
tematic canvass Of the city.
