CONFLICTING STORIES.
Regarding the Death Of Due de
Chaulnes.

PARIS, April rs. Notwithstanding
the official report that the Due dc
Chaulnes died from natural causes,
the Paris newspapers print various
versions as 10 the manner and place
Of his sudden demise. The Petit
Journal says the Duke died in a small
apartment in a house belonging to his
sister, the Duchess Dues on the Rue
Van Dyke. He retired Thursday
night according to the Petit Journal,
and not appearing Friday morning. a
servant entered the apartment and
found him dead in bed, his features
presenting livid appearance as if
decomposition had set in Beside the
body, says the account, were bottles
containing cocaine, ether and NOR
phine, From this the nwspaper drafts
the deduction that death was due to
an overdose Of drugs affecting a ma
turally weak heart,

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-An-
other day was spent by the senate in
considering an amendment to the
naval appropriation bill but vote was
not reached at the close Of the dis
cussion which was participated in by
"a dozen Senators. Hale secured ain
agreement for vote before the adj
journment Of the Senate on Monday.
A canvass Of the State made during
the day indicated that the four-ship
program will be defeated and that the
Senate has changed several votes.
Much Of the discussion today was de-
voted to the improbabiIity Of war
being forced upon the United States.
Senator's Beveridge and Piles were
sharply criticised by Aldrich, Perkins
and McCumber for their statements
of yesterday and several heated col
loquies occurred. Beveridge will re-
ply to them on Monday. At the CON
clusion of the debate, number OF
minor bills were passed and the Sem
ate adjourned until Monday.

Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
The parade promises to be not
only much larger than any Of previous
years but also more beautiful. No
commercial floats will be admitted
and the participants have been re-
quested to avoid the grotesque. Only
the beauty of the decorations will be
considered in the awarding Of prizes
and the judges will be artists and
connoisseurs of recognized ability.
As the parade doubles on its coun-
ter marches on the boulevard by the
ocean, there will be bombardment
OF flowers. The gardens of the en-
tire coasts for miles on both sides of
Santa Barbara have been stripped to
provide ammunition, and after the
battle the line of march will be buried
IN blossoms. In the dance of the
flowers, large number Of the most
beautiful women in Santa Barbara So
ciety will take part, and in the cos
tunes, the scenic effect, and in the
grace and beauty Of the figures, it is
expected to be a spectacle that will
be one Of those longest remembered
by the men of the navy.

STOCK MARKET STRONGER.

NEW YORK, April rs, Improve
ment of the investment conditions
was the principal factor in the Broad
ening and strengthening Of the weeks
speculation in Stocks. The success
ful sale of the $4O,OO0,00O Pennsyl-
vania 4 per cent 40 year bond issue
was the dominating influence Of the
market, The large subscriptions for
this and the placing Of half the issue
with influential foreign banling
houses led to far-raching inferences
Of re-establishment Of railroad credit.
Received confidence Of investors at
home and abroad and the stimulating
effect on commerce and industry to
be looked for as consequence, un-
favorable trade advices, notably from
the iron and steel trade and continued
shrinking in railroads earnings were
ignored.

National Guardsmen Denounce
Arguments Against ArmoryBiII
ABUSIVE, But NOT LOGICAL
The Writer Of the Argument Must
Never Have Known That National
Guard Fought Spanish-American
Military Mainstay Of Country

PORTLAND, Ore. April 25.-
"ManifestIy unfair: abusive, but not
logical Or statement Of real facts. "
That is the estimate placed By pro-
minent National Guardsmen on the
argument against the Armory bill As
advanced by the Oregon Grange III
the publication lately issued By the
state dealing with Legislative meas
ures to come up for vote under the
Initiative and referendum at the June
election.
In fact the argument against the
lbill is not CONSPICUOUS for its logic.
The Grange, in the beginning, says
It is not opposed to the National Guard
and then goes on to say that the
Guard has been chiefly useful in riots
and labor troubles and that the con
struction Of armories would consti-
tute 4 species Of graft.
The writer Of the argument must
never have known that the National
Guard fought the Spanish-American
war, the Oregon Guardsmen as vol
unteers in the Philippines, bringing
|unending glory to this state, and that
the National Guard is now the only
military force upon which the United
States could depend in case of inva-
sion or other emergency. There is
only a handful Of the regular army,
u requires year 10 train volunteers
50 the Guard, 10000 strong, IS the
military mainstay Of the country.
AS to the hints at graft, and there
is nothing more than slender, un
founded hints, no department of the
state government has been 81 free
from charges Of that kind as has
been the Oregon National Guard un-
der the administration Of Adjutant
General w. F. FINER, who has prac-
ticed the most ripid economy pos
sible.
It is hinted by the Grange that
should the appropriation be allowed
for armories, other communities which
succeed in the future in becoming the
station Of new companies would be
asking for armories. That would Be.
nothing out Of the way Certainly
the people Of say. klamath Falls.
Grants pass, Astoria or other pos
sible stations would not Be grafters

lrmory for military company which
was giving its service gratis and
which stood ready to respond Is the

y OF its entries only one failed, Viii
liam Speck in the l25 pound class al
boxing, failed to take the first place
The bouts throughout were interest
ing and though some Of the contest
ants were uncyenly matched, most Of
the antagonists who faced each other
showed practically an equal ability
This was notable especially in the
l35 pound wrestling event tonight
which went to v. Venablc, OF Seattle
over +. A. Brownell, of the Reliance
Club OF San Francisco. Venable threw
his opponent after / minutes and IS
seconds OF the hardest amateur
wrestling ever seen in this city, AS
il Is, his victory is not quite clear Of
question. After the men had been at
I for about eight minutes, Brownell
managed to get Venable's shoulders
SO close to the mat that the specta-
tors who were closest to the wrestlers
were confident that Brownell had se-
cured fall
