EUROPEAN CROPS IN DANGER.
Weather is Unseasonably Warm and
Excessively Humid.

Washington, Jan. %. - The foreign
crop report for December shows that
over large areas Of Europe the prevail
ing characteristics were unseasonaDly
warm weather and excessive humidity.
Crops lightly sown have terminated
finely and entered OH the winter in
strong, healthy condition. Late sowing
of crops, in Europe, however, were un-
usually extensive, and some anxiety is
felt concerning them.
In Great Britain the winter wheat
area has been extended. The acreage,
however, is still believed to be dimin-
ished, as compared with last year. The
growing crops have an improved ap-
pearance.
In France the wheat area is the aver
age.
In Germany weather conditions were
unfavorable and there was no marked
improvement.
In Roumania the area under whe:t
is 20 per cent short of last year. The
1905 crop is now estimated at from 50,-
100000 to 55,000,000 bushels. The
bulk of it is said to be out of condition,
hence no important export movement
to north of Europe points is expected
until spring.
No important definite news regarding
the condition of winter sown cereals in
Russia are reaching the outside world.

FUNDS FOR SEA WALL.
California Supreme Court Gives Fa-
vorable Decision.

San Francisco, Jan. 90 - The Su-
preme court this afternoon handed
down decision by which funds will
soon be available for the completion Of
the San Francisco sea wall. The court
sustained the validity of the so-called
sea wall act, passed by the legislature
in March, 1903, which authorized the
state board of harbor commissioners to
issue 81, 900, 900 in bonds to complete
the San Francisco sea wall.
The harbor commissioners proceeded
to issue bonds under this act, but State
Treasurer Reeves refused 20 approve
the issue. The commissioners there
upon applied to the Supreme court for
writ of mandamus to compel the
state treasurer to sign the bond issue.
The court by its decision today di-
rects the state treasurer to sign the
bonds. The harbor commission, it is
understood, will now issue bonds under
the act from time to time until the full
81, 900 900 worth are on the market.

JUNGLE SAM MAY
SPANK CASTRO
He Insults Russell, American Minis
ter. as we'll as Taigny.
French Warships Are at Hand, and
Failing instant Apology Their Guns
Will Talk - Venezuelan President
Resents RusseIl's Action as Agent
of France.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Three French
warships are now off the Venezuelan
coast preparing to deliver the answer
of France to President Castro's treat
ment of NJ. Taigny, the French repre-
sentative at Caracas, by naval demon
stration in Venezuelan waters. Two
additional warships will join them as
soon as they can make the trip across
the Atlantic. Until the demonstration
has been initiated, the French govern.
ment will share with the president and
Secretary Root the knowledge of the
exact form which this expression OF her
displeasure at President Castro's action
will take.
Meantime the delicacy of the eitua-
ton at Caracas is greatly increased by
news which has recently reached here
from that city regarding the attitude
President Castro now appears to be
assuming toward Hr. Russell, the
American minister. Unless this atti-
tude is radically modified, it may be
necessary to dispatch an American war
ship even nearer the Venezuelan coast
than ha. already been planned. Presi-
dent Castro, it is said, will be given to
understand that any treatment OF an
American representative euch as that
accorded to NJ. Taigny will not be toll
Grated. The cause which can be
ascribed here for Mr.. Castro's attitude
toward Mr.. Russell is that the former
insists upon regarding as personal
rather than official the efforts which
Mr.. Russell has made to assist peace
full settlement Of the Franco Venezuelan
troubles. The request of the French
government that its interests in Nene-
zuela be looked after by Mr.. Russell
was Immediately granted for the reason
that such request is invariably grant
ed by friendly power however difficult
the task.
France has adopted a simple pro-
gram for her treatment of the Nenezue-
Ian situation. 1t provides for an i'm
med ate and comprehensive apology by
Castro for his treatment of NJ. Taigny,
which treatment the Paris officials re-
gard as insulting and intolerable.
One dispatch sent to Mr.. Russell
last Sunday had not been delivered to
him up to the time the last dispatch
was sent by him to the State depart
ment. This is being inquired into by
the department.

BUDS SWELL IN CHICAGO.
Warmest Winter Day in History May
Iniure Growing Things.

Warmest Winter Day in History May
Injure Growing Things.
Chicago, Jan. %. - Something has
gone wrong with the weather machine.
All residents of this city are willing to
swear to this fact. The mercury
reached SO at p. m. today, breaking
all records since New Years day of
1876, when it stood at So above. Gar
deners at the parks and along the
boulevards have become greatly wor-
ried The mild rains, light SHOWS
and general springlike weather OF the
past two weeks have brought the cap
into motion and buds are beginning to
swell. Maple trees are eaid to be as
far advanced as they should be on
March /, and many of the more or less
delicate vines are we'll along toward the
curing rejuvenation. Now that a cold
wave is predicted for tomorrow. with a
drop of nearly 40 degrees, great fears
are EXPRESSED lest all vegetation now
started may suffer such setback as
will cause great loss in the floral and
ahrubbery display OF the many miles OF
park and boulevards in the Spring.

Afraid to Show His Face.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 20.-Distrustful
of the spirit of his capital and perhaps
remembering the incident OF last Janu-
ary, when one of the saluting guns
showered grape on the imperial chapel,
the emperor will not come to St.
Petersburg for the ceremony of the
blessing of the waters of the Neva to-
morrow. For the first time since the
Empress Anna laid the foundations of
the winter palace in 1892, the great
church festival of the Epiphany will
pass without the presence OF the SOW
ereign.

but there is slight prospect that
the increase can be secured this session.

WANT HOP INSPECTOR.
Lane County Growers Are firing OF
Numerous Reflections.

Lane County Growers Are firing OF
Numerous Reflections.
Eugene-A number OF hopgrowers OF
this vicinity are agitating the matter
of securing legislation to better some OF
the troubles of hopgrowers. A meeting
will be held here soon and an attempt
made at organizing an association tor
the benefil of the industry.
One of the worst complaints against
the dealers, for which it is believed re-
lief might be had by legislation, is in
the matter of reflections upon lnspec
ton. On this point the plan is to &c.
cure law providing for state inspect
or, whose duty it would be to inspect
and grade all hops and brand the grade
on each bale, 80 that sales would be
made upon this inspection and the
common complaints of dealers, after
they have bargained for a purchase,
would be wiped out.
1t has been a cause Of much provoca-
tion to the growers the way the inepec-
tors usually act when going through
lot of hops. They will throw out a
number of bales from some lots with
out cause and make all kinds OF COM
plants; and, if the market has weak
ened since the bargain was made the
grower confidently expects that the
hops will be called "broken," "high
dried" "slack dried" "mouldy," ETC.,
and if nothing else is complained of
then mot up to sample" is the charge
that turns down many bales. The
growers think this one of the first
things that sht ud be corrected by leg
islation.
1t is proposed to have similar organ
izations in other parts OF the state and
to form state federation for mutual
good and to accomplish unity of effort
on all important matters.

GIVEN FREE HAND.
France Assures United States She
Respects Monroe Doctrine.

France Assures United States She
Respects Monroe Doctrine.
Washington, Jan. 23.-Convinced of
the sincerity of the assurances received
from France regarding her loyalty to
the Monroe doctrine and all that it in
wolves, the Washington government
has given the Paris government a free
hand in the execution of the program
for the solution of the Venezuelan prob
lem. The conference on this phase OF
the question occurred some tine ago,
and NJ. Jusserand, the French ambas-
sador, has final assurances that the
efforts of France to obtain diplomatic
treatment for her charge d'affaires at
Caracas will not be interrupted at
Washington as in any violative Of the
Monrore doctrine.
The first move in the execution of
the French program may be expected at
any time, but on this point the French
government is observing the strictest
secrecy. M. Taigny, the retiring French
charge, who, it is believed, is now at
Curacao, will come to this country on
his way home, and on his arrival at
New York he will find an invitation
from the French ambassador at Wash
ington to spend several days here in
conference with M. Jusserand, on whom
the urlen of an important phaseso sof
the Venezuelan negotiation naturally
falls, that he may have the benefit Of
the facts about the situation. 1t is
not unlikely that NJ. Taigny will also
see Secretary Root.
The whereabouts of the French ships
remain mystery go far as the officials
of the State department and French
embassy are concerned, it is said. 1t
is assumed, however, that they are
daily in touch with the ministry OF
marine at Paris, and are awaiting an
opportunity to take such action as
their instructions may provide for.
Great interest is felt in diplomatic
circles here about the exact nature of
sentence found Objectionable in the
note of President Castro to NJ. Taigny.

CONTROL THE CASH.
Senators Want Hand in the Allotment
of Reclamation Funds.

Senators Want Hand in the Allotment
of Reclamation Funds.
Washington, Jan. o. The senate
committee on irrigation today discussed
the proposition to amend the national
irrigation law by placing the distribu-
tion of the reclamation fund in the
hands of congress, instead of the secre-
tary of the interior, as at present.
Strong sentiment in favor of the change
developed. Several senator's on the
committee believe it unwise to permit
the secretary of the interior to have
undieputed control of this fund, now
aggregating $32, 100000. No bill for
this purpose was pending, but probably
such bill will be introduced and
passed this session.
The discussion today was incident to
a debate on Heyburn's townsite biz ,
which authorizes the withdrawal of
land for townsite purposes on govern
ment irrigation tracts, and provides
that money derived from the sale of
town lots shall be turned into the re-
clamation fund for expenditure on town
improvements. This bill was referred
to a ub-committee for report.
The committee also gave attention
today to Fulton's bill authorizing the
condemnation of land needed as part of
national irrigation projects. No action
was taken, but members expressed the
opinion that such law would be un-
constitutional. This bill was drawn
particularly with a view to enabling
the government to acquire private land
under the Malheur irrigation project.
1t will be acted upon later.

How Soldiers Strike Terror-Enraged
Reds Plan Reprisals.


Reds Plan ReprisaIs.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 22.-It is be-
lieved that workmen employed in the
government works are being shot after
brief trials by courts martial. 1t is re-
ported that the victims selected for
slaughter are led out three at a time
and executed before the eyes OF their
comrades, who are awaiting their turn
to face the soldiers. AS soon as one
batch has been dispatched, three other
prisoners are lined up in the same spot
and shot. Firing has been heard at
the scenes of execution, continuing
without cessation. The military has
also resorted to bea.ing girls brutaly
as a means Of punishment.
Stories of the cruelties that are being
practiced have become noised about,
and they have entirely inflamed the
revolutionists. who are planning re-
prisals.
In the south of Russia there is a
great congestion of grain, as it has been
accumulated for some time, and there
is no means of Transporting it, as the
authorities are too busy with their
campaign of repression against the re-
volutionists to think of the administra
tion of every day affairs.
