FEAR MORE TROUBLE.
Washington Worried Over Fresh
Disorders In Mexico.
Mexican Liberals Threaten American
Observation-Disclosures Wilson
Takes Up Case.

Washington, D. C.-The report of a
delicate situation in Lower California
has increased the anxiety of the ad-
ministration over recent developments
in Mexico.
Conditions in that part of the coun-
try were threatening several months
ago, but with the termination of the
Madero revolution Mexico obtained
permission to send troops across
American territory to quell the inde-
pendent movement there. The armed
and so-called Socialistic rebellion,
however, died out before the soldiers
reached the scene. Since then it had
been supposed that peace and content
ment had settled in that quarter of
Mexico and that the lives and property
of American citizens were secure.
Now, however, American ranchers
in Lower California are being threat
ened by the so-called Mexican Lib
erals. The United States has request
ed the government of Mexico to afford
them adequate protection.
The State department attention
was drawn to the situation in tele-
gram from the American consul at
Ensenada, who reported that Ameri-
cans had been molested and had ap-
pealed to him for assistance.
Ambassador Wilson, at Mexico
City, was Immediately instructed to
take up the subject with President de
la Barra.

HAYTIAN REBELS GAINING.
Uncle Sam Rushes Warships to
Scene of Trouble.

Washington, D. C.-The revolution
in Hayti is spreading so rapidly that
it is believed here to be doubtful if
the capital of the island republic will
much longer remain in possession of
President Simon. The political situ-
alton steadily is growing worse, ac-
cording to the commander of the
United States gunboat Petrol, now in
Haytien waters for the protection Of
Americans. His report to the Navy
department indicates that all of the
department north, except Cape Hayti-
en- and Forte Liberte, is controlled by
the revolutionists.
Because of the precarious situation
at Goniaves, the second important
city of the republic, where the revo-
lutionists are in power, the Petrol
sailed from Cape Haytien for that
place.
Realizing the Importance of having
some kind of naval vessel on the north
coast of Hayti, to replace the Petrol,
the Navy department cabled the COM
manding officer of the Porto Rican
station boat at San Juan, Porto Rico,
to proceed Immediately to Cape
Haytien, where she probably will ar
rive within twenty-four hours. The
cruiser Des Moines from Boston, will
sail directly to Port au Prince. She
probably will make the trip in about
five days.

Troops Seeking Rebel Band.

San Diego, Cal.-One hundred Mex
lean troops have been ordered from
Ensenada to the district around AL
amo, where a small band of rebels are
said to be operating. Mexican troops
in scouting parties are said to be
scattered up and down the peninsula
for the purpose of suppressing out
law bands and restoring law and
order.
Most of the ranches owned by
Americans and foreigners are in the
northern part of Lower California,
and during the recent revolt suffered
considerably from raiding parties of
rebels. Passengers arriving on the
boats from Ensenada say the Lower
California government is doing every
thing possible to protect all foreigners
and natives.

EXPERIMENT LAND FIXED.
200 Acres For Farm School Chosen
Near Burns.

Burns-The Harvey county commits
sioners' court has selected tract of
land embracing 200 acres six miles
east of Burns, as site for the agri-
cultural experiment station. 1t is
situated in a road section, now owned
by the Oregon & Western Colonization
company on the north side of the main
county road leading from Burns to
Lawen, Harriean and the eastern part
of the valley.
1t is dry, sagebrush soil of charac-
ter similar to the prevailing land of
Harvey valley, and the experiments
there demonstrated will be guide for
farmers in nearly all parts of the sur
rounding country. President David
son, of the Colonization company, has
writer to the court giving that body
free rein to set its own price on the
land, expressing his appreciation of
the great value the experiment station
will be to the country in general and,
therefore, to the company.
A representative of the State agri-
cultural college is expected here in
short time to superintend the construc-
tion of buildings and other improve
ments on the property, for which the
county court will make provisions at
once.
For the sub-stations which will be
established later, there are free offers
of land in various parts of the county,
as the settlers are fully sensible of
the great benefit to be derived.

Defense Fund is Urged.

Butte, Mont. The necessity of
funds, to be available Immediately for
the defense of the Mcnamara broth
ers, accused of conspiracy to dynamite
the Los Angeles Times building, is
urged upon the Federation of Miners
in a letter from Secretary Morrison, of
the American Federation of Labor.
Vice President Mahoney expressed the
opinion that $400, 900 or even $780,,
900 might be found inadequate, as, if
the accused should be acquitted in Los
Angeles, the prosecution might be
continued.

King Offers Territory.

Lisbon - A sensation has been
caused by the announcement of the
discovery at the Necessidades palace
of a small Golfer containing secret cor
respondence by the since deposed royal
family of Portugal and the British and
German governments. King Manuel
and his relatives, foreseeing the revo-
luton, asked for foreign intervention,
offering in compensation Portuguese
territory in Africa. Great Britain
and Germany refused to interfere.

FIRE DANGER GROWS.
Dry Weather is Menace to Forests,
Says Expert.

Portland the summer season
we'll advapced, only two forest fires,
both of minor consequence, have oc-
Cured in Oregon this season. One of
these fires was in Wasco county and
the other in Washington county, but
in both instances firefghters connect
ed with the forest service were
promptly dispatched, with the result
that both fires were under control be-
fore extensive damage resulted.
"Prior to the rains early in July
there were several small slashing
fires," said C. S. Chapman, of the
Oregon Forest Fire association, "but
they did little damage. In the Coast
sections the timber is still pretty
damp as a result of those showers.
However, the forests are drying
out thoroughly and in another ten
days there will be constant danger of
fires ~

.DOINGS IN CONGRESS

Washington, July %. - Senator
Chamberlain has many times professed
to be working to secure for Oregon a
larger share of the reclamation pro-
ject, and has maintained that he has
done everything in his power to bring
about the construction of new projects
in his state. But if Senator Chamber
lain is honestly in favor of promoting
government reclamation work in Ore
gon he has strange way of showing
it. He recently introduced bill
which, if passed, would divert mil
lions of dollars annually from the rec
lamation fund, for the construction of
dams, canals, etc., to control floods.
Senator Chamberlain's bill is brief.
1t authorizes the secretary of the in
terror to construct dikes, dams,
bitches, ETC., for the storage and di-
version and development of waters, to
prevent injury to crops and fertile
lands and other property caused by
floods and freshets originating on for
est reserves and Indian reservations,
the expense of such construction to be
paid out of the national reclamation
fund.

Washington July 21.-The story of
the administration attitude toward
the election of Senator Lorimer as
told by ex-senator Aldrich of Rhode
Island and the activities of R. J.
Shields of SupeEor, Wis, an insur-
ance agent, in collecting affidavits
from witnesses in the investigation,
were the features of the Senator Lori
mer committee hearing today.
Instead of sending Edward Hines,
the Chicago Iumberman, to Springfield
with word from the Washington ad-
that Lorimer should be
elected Mr.. Aldrich testified that he
told Hines that President Taft was
not supporting the candidacy of any
one, but that Lorimer was not objec-
tionable to him. The ex-senator said
he told Hines previously that the pres
ident had no objection to Albert J.
Hopkins or Henry S. Boutell for the

Washington, July 21.-A highly ed
ucated seal, George by name, was on
exhibition today before the house
committee investigating the exter-
mination of the seal herds, to raise
his bark in protest. George was
brought before the committee by Rep
resentative Edward w. Townsend of
New Jersey author of "Chimmie Fad
den" who obtained him from friend
on St. George Isand, Pribyloff group.
1t is estimated that Georges skin
would weigh about five pounds if sep
arated from him, but there is no in
tention of depriving him of the luxury
of seal skin coat during these hot
days.
He is on exhibition as type of the
extra-smal seals which are being
slaughtered. Not only does he bal
ance artistically upon his nose a ball
or cornucopia, but has been taught to
bark loudly and enthusiastically and
flap his foppers when the name of
Professor Elliott is spoken sharply
and distinctly.
Professor Elliott, it may be ex-
planned for the benefit of the until
ated, is the Cleveland o. expert on
fur seal life who has managed to Sc
cure the investigation which is being
conducted.

Washington, July 21. = Vigorous
support of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement by Senators Brown, of Ne
braska; Stone, of Missouri, and
Works, of California, and speech
against the measure by Senator Ken
yon, of Iowa, made up today's debate
ON the measure in the senate.
Brown criticised his insurgent col
leagues and praised the Democrats for
"having the moral courage and pat
riotism to support and sustain Re-
publican President" characterized a
speech today of Senator Brown in fav-
or of the reciprocity measure.
81 want to ,express my grief, my
profound grief" Senator Brown de-
clared, "because the bill does not
have the support of some of my
friends in this body whom know at
heart are in favor of lower duties. |
do not complain of them. do not
charge them with insincerity, because
know them to be sincere. But
simply cannot understand them. 1t
is beyond my comprehension to appre-
ciate how in one session of congress |
could vote for lower duties; in the
next session favor revision of the
tariff schedule at time, and at a
third session be against this PROPOSE
ton, which, while it is not revision
of a singe schedule, is revision of
few schedules, not with all the coun-
+r;as of +ha world hut with one cOun-
try; plan that believe marks the
beginning of the end of extortionate
tariff duties in this country"
The speaker declared that it was not
President Taft, ''but a stubborn and
loduacious senate" that was respon-
sible for the extra session. He de-
Tended the president from charges that
he was taking too much part in legis-
lation.
