COAL LANDS WITHDRAWN

PRECEDENT Determines to Keep Some Of
Supply in Government Hands.
. Seattle. Aug. 6.-According to the
Post Intelligencer, q recent order of
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Hitchcock w1thdraws from entry =
considerable portion of the coal lands
Of Washington.
When the great coal strike was on
in the anthracite coal regions Of Penn
sylvania few years ago the American
public was presented with the serious
situation that would accompany de-
termination of mine owners not to OPP
crate their properties or of the trans
portation companies not to convey the
output to market. Ever since that
controversy President Roosevelt and
other statesmen have been endeavor-
ing to work out q method by which
the public may not be deprived OF fuel
case of another protracted cessa-
ton of work in the coal mines.
The examination by the geological
survey in accordance with Instructions
by the president developed that there
were Sc, 900, 900 acres Of public land
believed to contain coal deposits.
The president, however, desired the
withdrawal of only those sections
known to possess workable coal. Ac-
cordingly the area was reduced to
6, 900, 600 acres.
The coal lands withdrawn from en-
try are situated in New Mexico, Colo
RADIO, Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota,
Montana, Oregon and Washington.
The lands withdrawn in this state are
almost entirely situated west Of the
Cascade mountains.

STRIKE APPEARS
TO BE A FAILURE

St. Petersburg, Aug. I'm the Light
Of Yesterdays developments the gen.
eral strike may be almost considered a
taseo.
In Moscow the printers and street
car men and employees of the gas, wa
ter and electric light plants have quit
work, but these are more than offset
by the OBJECTIONS at St. Petersburg.
An enthusiastic acceptance of the
order to strike is nowhere recorded.
Even in the Donetz mining district,
where practically all the miners are
already out, the factory hands declined
TO strike.
The revolutionists may yet possibly
be saved by the railroad men, but the
central committees Of the railroad men
have not yet reached final decision.
Fifteen thousand employees Of the
government powder mills struck yes
tersday, but this was overbalanced by
the return of the men of the Westing-
house and other factories who have
notified their superintendent that
they will begin work this morning.
The printers of st. Petersburg, in
stead Of abandoning the strike en-
nFely, have decided to print only one
liberal newspaper day. The COM
positors on the Official Messenger
joined the strike yesterday, but they
were replaced by military printers.
The organizers of the strike are in
despair over the prospects of failure.
Some already counsel declaring the
s'rlSe off in an effort to save prestige.
out the majority is awaiting some &C.
uon Oh the part of the railroad men.
Quiet in St. Petersburg
Except for the dispersal of several
minor gatherings by Cossacks and
mounted police, st. Petersburg yester-
aay was almost as quiet as in ordinary
umes' The project of police has issued
PROCLAMATION explaining that the

nearly a year ago that she began to

indigestion by several of Philadelphia
test physicians. Brisk walks and plen-
ty of exercise were prescribed, but that
treatment did her little good.
Then she was taken to Hot Springs,
Ark, and received a. regular course of
sulphur water baths, with special at
tendant to administer massage. She
grew steadily worse and at last devel-

London, Aug. Elm dispatch from
Peking in which he discusses the OPT

Times expresses the belief that China
will ask India to consent to an annual
reduction in the import to China,
which would have the effect of extin-

As an evidence of good faith China
will issue an imperial edict condemn
ing the use of opium, forbidding the
employment in the government service
of any opium and operating an annual
reduction in the cultivation of the ma
tive hop which will lead to the extinc-
ton of this plant.

MIR. LEVEY TALKS OF NORTHERN
PACIFIC PLANS.
Port Angeles e Peninsular and
Port Angeles & Olympia Pro-
jects to Be Pushed to Compile
tion--Win Open Big Timber
Area.

Port Angeles, Aug. 6.-Vice Presi-
dent @. M Levey, Of the Northern
Pacific Railway Company, left Port
Angeles Saturday morning after stay
of two days on business connected
with the coming extension of the
Northern Pacific lines into the Olym
pic peninsula. Mr.. Levey brought
with him a practical right of way man
in the employ of his company, who
has already gone to work securing the
necessary rights for the building of
the branch to be known as the "Port
Angeles & -Peninsular. and to extend
from Port Angeles southwesterly to
Lake Crescent.
Mr.. William Bothell, an engineer
who has been taken from the Colum-
bia river branch of the road, also met
Mr.. Levey here and has been put in
charge of the engineering work on the
peninsula. Mr.. Bothell has just com
pleted reconnaissance of the pro-
posed route Of the Port Angeles and
Olympic division between this city and
Port Ludlow and made his report to
Mr.. Levey while here.
Mr.. Levey Confirms Reports
Before q meeting of the city council
and prominent business men of the
city Mr.. Levey confirmed unqualifiedly
the already published reports of the
purchase by the Northern Pacific of
the two independent railroad PROPOSE
tions represented by the Port Angeles
& Peninsular and the Port Angeles &
Olympia corporations, of which Mr..
Lester Turner, of Seattle, is president
and Mr.. M. j. Carrigan, of this city,
secretary and treasurer, and stated
that in purchasing his company had
taken over the obligations of those
corporations embodied in the fran
chises granted them by the city of
Port Angeles.
Will Build Into the Timber
Mr.. Levey further stated that the
Northern Pacific would build the two
branches of road which are to connect
the great bodies of timber in Western
Clallam county with Port Angeles and
Port Angeles with the main line of
road by way of the Port Townsend
Southern, via Elma and Centralia and
the North bank of the Columb ia river.
It was the expectation of his COM
pany, Mr.. Levey said, to have the en-
tire peninsular system joined with the
main line down the Columbia within
one year from this fall.
The proposed ferry by way of Port
Ludlow to Everett, Mr.. Levey stated,
would receive attention later. He said
that it was among the plans Of his
company for this section, and that the
boats for the ferry would be those
now in use by the main line of the
Northern Pacific at the Kalama cross
ing of the Columbia.

The Unbidden Guest.

For a long time Johnnie had waited
for an invitation to Dorothy's party.
Two whole weeks had gone by since
the little pink, sweet-scented envelopes
had been proudly displayed by the for
tunate little boys and girls In Johnnie's
class.
"Going?" they all asked Johnnie.
Got one?"
NO" he had answered bravely, each
time. II guess Ill get mine tomorrow. !"
The to-morrows came, but the little
link envelope did not. Still he was pa
tient and hopeful until the day OF the
party.
When he saw his playmates running
by, with happy. eager faces. he could
bear it no longer. His mother could
not comfort him.
Why had not Dorothy remembered
him? He had seen her every day at
school. Perhaps she had thought him
too young he was so little. With visit
full eyes Johnnie looked at the big house
On the Till.
|. After long time his tears were dry,
aud then he jumped up and ran to his
mother.
Mamma" he cried, I'm going! I'm
yoing!" he repeated, not understanding
The look in his mothers face. I've just
thought when they get there and don't
6nd me 1t won't seem right, for l al
ways play with them, and Dorothy'll
feel badly when she finds she has for
gotten me.
Course" he continued. Il haven't
time to 60 and buy present, so guess
I'll take Jerry. Anyway, cats bout
the only thing Dorothy hasn't got. L
I'm miss Jerry"-his lip trembled-
but I've got to carry something-and
r go by Dorothy's every day, and when
whistle he will come running out to
see me. Please get me ready. mamma !"
A great struggle was going on In his
mothers heart, but Johnnie did. not
know.
How could she talk about Intentional
sights when no knowledge Of such a
thing had ever entered his honest little
head? He was only five and-of course
there must be some reason for it-he
should go to that party and carry his
cat, too, and she would trust to Doro-
thy's good nature to understand. She
would surely reward Johnnie's faith in
her.
Yes, DEAR" she said aloud, "it's all
right. You shall co." and she made
his hasty toilet while Jerry rubbed his
6ead aginst Johnnie's hands.
You'll be good. won't you, Jerry r
Johnnie asked.
Maui" responded Jerry.
"Good-by!" Johnnie called, and be
trudged OF. holding his cat tightly In
| his arms.
| Meanwhile Dorothy was taking her
first taste OF the responsibilities Of a
hostess. Her guests did miss little
Johnnie, and ignored the laws Of ell
auette to such an extent as to ask why
he had not been invited. Her explana-
ton that he was a mere child was not
satisfactory.
After that nothing seemed quite 50

the startling statement that the EN-.
peror has fatty refused to accept the
conditions to which Premier Stolypin
agreed in his negotiations with Count
Heyden. Alexander Guckhoff, Prince
Nicholas Lyoff. Paul vinogradoff and
Senator koni for the reorganization of
the cabinet. There is an increasing
apprehension that the emperor pur.

station of the second class.
Future IL Dark
Although the mutinies at Sveaborg
have been ended and the one at Cron-
stad has been practically put down.
the outlook is still in the dark. The
revolutionists. whose hands were sud-
denly forced by the premature rising
at Sveaborg. apparently are undaunted
at these initial reverses and intend to
persist in their program of calling a
general strike on Saturday OF Monday.
One of the leaders of the revolution
lists with whom the Associated Press
spoke last night boosted that the word
had gone forth and that the fire of re-
volt would spread to the corners OF
the empire. His closing words to the
correspondent were:
"Now watch Reval, Riga and Libau"
Grand Duke Nicholas received a
message shortly after midnight saying
that the loyal portion of the crew
of the cruiser Pamyatazova had made
prisoners of the mutineers and turned
them ever to soldiers on shore at Re
val.
Panic at Peterhof
When the firing began at Cronstadt
Wednesday night there ensued a wild
panic in the imperial palace at Peter
hof. which lies under the guns of the
fortress. All preparations had been
made in advance to fee to Tsarkoe-
Selo. but the report afloat yesterday
afternoon that the emperor and his
family actually had fed in the middle
of the night was denied at the chan
celery of the imperial household. 1t
explained, however. that on account
of "dampness' at Peterhof, arrange
ments had been made for the return
of the family to TsarkOe- Se1o.
