TULES IN LIFE PREsERvERs.
Found by Government to lStand the
Required Test.

San Francisco, Jan. 29.-When the
attention of Inspector of Huls and Boil.
ers Whitney was called to the charge oi
F. F. Bunker that the life preservers on
the steamer Valencia were of seaweed,
and were inferior, he said:
"The United States regulations allow
the use of the tule life preserver under
certain conditions, specified in the re-
port of the supervising inspector.
There are two kinds mentioned that
come up to the requirements. One is
the Dunant's tule life preserver, made
in California, the other is the LIE Due
life preserver, made in the East. These
preservers are inspected at the factories
and after they are placed on board ship.
We have man visit the factory here
once month or oftener. If the pre-
servers do not show the required buoy
ancy they are rejected. Aboard ship
the test is also made. The tule pre-.
servers are required to have both ends
bound with copper wire.
"Unoffically I may say that the tule
life preserver stands the test better
than any OF the others. We are requir-
ed to try with 20 pounds, but TO make
sure the test is generally tried with 25
pounds. We know nothing here of the
Valencia, because she was inspected at
Seattle. am sure, however, that she
meets all requirements, because they
have we'll equipped Office there"

st. Petersburg, Jan. 27.- That there
has been a renewal of the mutiny at
Vladivostok was confirmed by a dis.
patch from that city filed Thursday
and received here late tonight. The
dispatch indicates that the mutiny,
which began last Monday, had not been
subdued, and that the situation was
far more serious than was the outbreak
in November, as the mutineers in
clude both sailors and artillerists, who
are in possession of the battery and
are we'll armed with rifles and machine
guns, as we'll as having heavy fortress
guns.
General Mitschenko, who has been
sent to deal with the mutineers, the
dispatch adds, has no easy task, as the
Cossacks given him are i'll suited for
capturing fortified position. He de-
clares that the promises of immediate
transportation home for the men, with
which the government ended the for
mer revolt, are now scarcely effective.
The mutiny is due to the reserve
men, who are thoroughly undisciplined
and are clamoring for their immediate
home.

100 STAMPS AT GOLD COIN.
Extensive Preparations Made to Con-
tinue Operations.

Extensive Preparations Made to Con-
tnue Operations.
Baker City-Dr. T. H. White, one
OF the three owners of the Gold Coin
mine, has just returned from Portland,
where he arranged for the addition OF
100 stamps to their ten-stamp mill al.
ready in operation, and purchased a
new hoist to be shipped to the mine at
once. The machinery will all be made
in Portland.
Since the favorable decision in the
injunction case by the Circuit court,
given the other day, the mine will be
in full operation the balance of the
winter.
Managing Owner James A. Painting,
of the Gold Hill mine, in the Durkee
camp, 26 miles southeast of Baker City,
is here and reports that he has had a
full force OF men at work retimbering
some of the tunnels and slopes, and
that he has cut the main ledge ten feet
wider on the lower levels. In doing
this work he struck another stream OF
water in the mine, which will give him
a sufficient supply to irrigate another
100 acres of the home ranch. He says
the recent heavy snow storm will bene-
fit both farming and mining interests.

IMPROVE TAX SYSTEM,
Moroccan Conference to Draw Up
Ruies-Harmony Apparent.

Moroccan Conference to Draw Up
Ruies-Harmony Apparent.
Algeciras, Jan. 27.-Spain at today's
session of the Moroccan con ference pre-
sented the draft of convention provid-
ing for better return of taxation in
Morocco, and also for the creation of
new revenues. The conference after
eome discussion expressed the opinion
that nothing should he proposed for
Morocco which may modify the basis of
the present organization of the country
or be in contradiction of the habits Of
the Moroccan people regarding land
taxation.
The conference decided that the work
OF drawing up the new rules ehall be
entrusted to the same committee which
examined the question of the control of
the trade in contraband arms, with the
addition OF Belgian, Russian and Mo.
roccan members.
Herr Won Radowitz, head of the Ger
man mission, and M. Revolt, chief of
the French delegation, had a long pri-
vate meeting today. Although the re.
suits were not disclosed, the meeting
produced distinct feeling of optimism
among the delegates.

PROPOSE LOCK CANAL.
Commission Favors Report Of Minor

Commission Favors Report Of Minor
ity OF Engineers.
Washington, Jan. 29.-The Isthmian
Canal commission met today and con-
cluded its consideration of the report OF
the board of consulting engineers with
respect to the type Of canal that should
be constructed. The commission has
before it the majority and minority re-
ports of the consulting board.
The commission adopted report to
the secretary of war. While no official
announcement is made with reference
to the commissions report, there is a
good reason to believe that it has sum-
married. the two reports and has re-
commended the construction of lock
canal, with lS3-foot level, practically
following the recommendations of the
minority Of the consulting engineers.
The commission did not formally sign
the report. Governor Magoon is ex-
pected to arrive from the Isthmus at
any moment, and will be with the com
mission at its next meeting. Chairman
Shonts will 60 to New York tonight.
1t is expected that meeting of the
commission will be called shortly after
his return, when the report will be
finally put in shape for transmission to
Mr.. Taft.
There is reason to believe that the
members of the commission are in full
accord in their recommendations to the
secretary of war, with one possible ex-
ception. One member of the commits
sion is said to have expressed a desire
to have read the commissions report,
but it is not known whether he may
desire to submit views on the type OF
canal to be constructed.

Fatherland. Count Gutenberg. in sup
porting the interpolation, predicted an
open struggle with the Socialists. If
the Socialists were let alone, he said,
the downfall Of the empire must follow.

Arsenal Sacked and Pitched Battle
Fought in Fortress.

St. Petersburg Jan. q. - Reports
from Trans. Baikal districts say that the
Cossacks have joined the peasantry and
expelled officials from Office, forming
revolutionary government of their own.
Estates are being ransacked everywhere
in the district.
General Linisvitch has telegraphed
the Gar that sailors in Vladivostok
have broken into mutiny and attacked
and wounded the commander OF the
fortress. The outbreak was caused by
the countermanding of an order to send
them back to Europe.
Sailors invaded the armory, seized
quantity OF rifles, occupied the battery
and demanded the release of prisoners,
when Commander Selivalow remon-
strated. The mu'ineers opened fire on
the commander and his loyal guards
and a general fight ensued, in which
the commander and others were wound
ed. A determined effort was made to
suppress the mutineers, in which there
was more firing and a determined bat
tie was soon raging.
In the fighting it is said there were
200 killed and many others wounded.
Cossacks have been sent to re- store
order.

Shanghai, Jan. 3d. Desperate riot
ing is going on in Vladivostok, wher~
the troops have again defed their off,
GERS, and such regiments as remain
loyal are trying to capture the city.
Meager details have sifted through, but
these indicate that the present riots far
eclipse in the number of men engaged
those of two months ago, when more
than 1000 were killed and wounded.
All the hospitals are filled with
wounded men, while many others are
lying uncared for in the snow covered
streets. The rioters far outnumber the
loyal soldiers, and are we'll supplied
with arms and ammunition, but appar-
emily lack competent leadership, and
the latter are still in possession of the
fortresses. The last report from the
city places the number of killed and
wounded at 5000, but these figures are
being added to momentarily as there is
no cessation of hostilities.
Five armored trains which were sent,
manned with troops. to take part in an
expedition to attack the mutineers in
the rear, were derailed by powerful ex-
plosives and manv of the soldiers
killed and wounded.

Salem - David E. Baxter, who was
appointed county superintendent ol
schools in November by the county
court of Wheeler county, is out OF
Office. The county superintendent
died, and the county court appointed
Mr.. Baxter to fiji the vacancy. At
torney General Crawford held that the
appointment was for the unexpired

Newport, r. l., Jan. 80. - Seven
buildings, connected with the United
States naval training station at Coast
ers' Harbor island in this city were
destroyed by fire tonight, causing an
estimated loss of 500, 900. The build

single irons were confined in the de-

broke out. Physical Instructor Joseph
Kirby liberated them by heroic
effort. When he reached the deten-
ton building he could not see the
young prisoners on account of the
smoke, but they answered his call.
Supported by a line of men Kirby
made his way to the spot where the
boys were in confinement and passed
them back one by one to the men be-
