PERSIAN TERRITORY

TIFLIS. Trans-Caucasia, April 1s.-
Russian troops have invaded Persian
territory in the vicinity OF Lenkoran. a
port on the Caspian sea, for the pur-
pose of Furnishing Kurdish raiders. This
step was taken in consequence of the
renewal Of the attack upon the Rus
sian garrison at Belesuvar, a frontier
post The trouble began April II, when
a detachment OF Russian troops from
Belesuvar met band Of Kurdish brig
ands and lost several men in the subse-
quent lighting The brigands also suf-
fered. They prepared to attack Belesu-
var in force in revenge for the treat
ment by the Russian soldiers and they
descended on the garrison in large
numbers.
Orders were issued for the garrison
which is supported by artillery, to en-
ter Persian territory and punish the
Kurds. The Russians In force then
crossed the frontier and destroyed sew
eral villages. They also scattered the
Kurds, who numbered in all about four
thousand.
According to the latest reports re-
ceived at Tifis the Russians are still
continuing their advance. The people
of Belesuvar have telegraphed TO st.
Petersburg appealing for immediate
protection Cossacks have been sent
into the district to preserve order. The
whole of the frontier is in a state of
alarm

WASHINGTON April 1e.-The friends
of Colonel William F. Stewart of the

extent Of obtaining an order directing
HIM TO take UP his residence at the
asandoned St. Francis barracks, ST.
Augustine. Fla. for the three years or
more he expects to serve on the active

PUBLISHER AMAZED

MedilI Mccormick of the Chi
cago Tribune Predicts
Bright Future

Medill Mccormick, publisher of the
Chicago Tribune, and one of the most
influential journalists In the United
States, arrived in San Francisco yester-
day on his way east after visit in
southern California. Mccormick is a
strong admirer of California and San
Francisco and predicted a bright future
for both state and city. He was in
San Francisco a few days after the
earthquake and travelled to Chicago aft
er the disaster with Architect Burn
ham, who made plans for the civ
beautiful.
II am amazed at the amount of work
that has been done In the two years"
said Mccormick last night I'm Eve
years you are going to have one of the
greatest cities in the country. Whila
I admire all that has been done. I can
not but regret that you left some things
undone, and that in some cases your
architecture has fallen short of what II
might have been 1 had hoped that
you would cut through MONTGOMERY
avenue to make wide thoroughfare
from the ferry. I do not know Just
how rapidly San Francisco will grow
numerically, but 1t is destined to be a
great city.
your fight against corruption. 1t is a
part of the same general awakening
that may be seen throughout the coun
try. st. Louis has had it. We have it
in Chicago, but with us 1t is a much
more gradual process.
Il have been greatly impressed with
your two big universities. The intellf-
gence of the next generation of Cal
ifornians is going to be a surprise to
the people of the nation"
Mccormick expressed great interest
in the coming Of the fleet and gave It
sas his opinion that eventually there
would be regular Pacific fleet.
The cruise of the battleships" said
the publisher. II believe, was ordered
for several purposes. One was to I'm
press upon the nations of the orient
the potentiality of the United States
Another was to show to the South
American countries something back of
the Monroe doctrine. The president has
been enxious to improve our relations
with the South American nations. as
shown in the trip of Secretary Root
The visit Of the fleet to the ports of
the southern republics will assist ma
terially TO this end.
II do not believe there is a Japanese
question, at least not for this genera
ton. Japan is almost bankrupt There
has been some agitation over there

this committee might not in time have
become aware that the great men who
appeared here against the bill openly
were in fact favoring it privately.
The Aldrich BILL" Crozier declared,
lis gambling game from start to
finish, brought here by gamblers and
promoted by gamblers for gambling
purposes" He asserted stoutly that he
knew the late financial stringency was
brought about deliberately by Wall
street men.
Il was told in Wall street that such
q measure as the Aldrich bill would be
brought before this congress and that
a panic would precede it," Crozier said
that il commission was appointed
he would furnish a list of witnesses
to the counsel by whom this charge can
be proved.
AS an evidence of the conspiracy to
bring on a panic Crozier said a promi-
nent fnancier told the president of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railway that il was to be brought on
before the meeting of congress and on
that information he said the railroad
borrowed $50. O0O,O 900. Urged to tell
who the inancier predicting a panic
was. Crozier said he did not like to
give his name at this time. but would
give il to the counsel of any commits
sion congress might appoint to investi-
gate the causes of the recent financial
crisis
Upon the conclusion of Crozier's
statement Chairman Fowler announced
that hearings on the Aldrich bill were
closed. After a short executive ses-
sion the committee adjourned until to-
morrow at 1890 o'clock, when it is ex-
pected an adverse report on the Aldrich
bill viii be agreed upon. The Vreeland
bill is before the committee and If
Vreeland should desire to have hear
ings on that measure he probably will
be given an opportunity to present any
testimony he desires.
