RUSSIA RELIES ON TREATY.
China Places Restrictions on Trade in
Manehurla, Despite Agreement.


Victoria. a.-That Russia relies on
an old treaty between America and
China, under which China cannot
place restraint on foreign trade, in
her ultimatum (which is heing fol-
lowed by an armed demonstration in
Iii and Mongolia. was the news
brought by the steamer Monteagle.
The Daliokaya Okraina a Russian
paper published at Vladivostock
says:
There is no doubt a storm is ap-
preaching which will soon burst be-
tween Russia and China with disas-
trous results.
According to the treaty concluded
in 1914 between China and the United
State of America, the former country
cannot place any restraint on foreign
commerce, including Russian trade, by
means of either monopoly of other
measure. In virtue of the treaties
concluded in 1858 and 1881 between
Russia and China, the former could
enjoy all the rights of the most
favored nation and Russian merch-
ants could deal in goods of any or
igin in every populated district in
Mongolia.
For that reason long ago there
were established many Russian firms
dealing in tea in the Iii, Tarbagatail
and Sitsiansk provinces. This trade
was conducted by Russian merchants
and the Chinese officials secretly par
ticipated in the business, making
great profits by their deals. Lately
however, they have been endeavoring
to take this trade out of Russian
hands.
"At the outset several attempts
were made to place obstacles in the
way of Russian trade, but last April
a joint stock company was officially
organized monopolizing all trade in
tea in Tarbargatai and Tia, and Rus
sia was effectually checked.
Besides this, the Chinese author
tiles did not act fairly toward the
Russians in the Altai province, the
capital of which is Shara-Sume. The
Amban, chief of the province, since
1905 has repeatedly refused to rem
der any judgment when misunder-
standing occurred between Russians
and Chinese and issued an order pro
hibiting Chinese to sell or to lease
houses to Russians.

strong plea in its favor. Abraham
declared it was unconstitutional and
vicious. being an attempt to limit the

JAPs FEARED MOST BY CHINA
They Are Closely Allied With Russia
in Encroachments.

Iney Are closely Allied WIN Russia
in Encroachments.
Pekin.-The Chinese Government
displays the keenest anxiety over
Russias threatened military demon
stration in Iii province, but never
theless it may not comply with the
demands set forth in the note from
st. Petersburg until a show of force
takes some of the sting out of its
humiliation. 1t is believed in Pc
kin that, even should China acquiesce
Russia would not accept her promise,
but would insure it's fulfllment by
occupying certain points in Chinese
Turkestan. The Foreign Board states
that it asked Russian Minister Kor-
ostovetz for a more explicit state
ment of the demands The reply Of
the diplomatist was that his gov
eminent had been most explicit.
The Foreign Board further afTirms
that Russia has demanded the estab-
lishment of Russian military posts
within the Chinese frontier for the
purpose of controlling and preventing
the disease crossing the border.
In the matter of this encroachment
greater fear is felt regarding the at
titude of the Japanese in Manchuria,
who are asserted to be in close as
sociation with the Russians, but up
to the present no action has been
taken by Japan which could be con-
strued as definitely aggressive.
Reports from Manchuria state that
the Japanese sometimes usurp the
of Chinese officials in deal
ing with the plague, but it is gen
orally conceded that the situation
warrants this conduct.

DO|NGS OF OREGON STATE LEGISLATURE

Salem, Feb. 19.-The house adj
journed at 11:2O O'clock; the senate
adjourned at 1920 o'clock this
morning.
To the total of appropriations as
voted by the two branches of the
legislature has been added an appro-
priation of $4,000 by the eleventh
hour enactment of the Mariner state
ard bill which, with two minor ap-
preparation bills reconsidered in the
senate late this afternoon, makes the
grand total of appropriations enacted
by the twenty-siXth legislative assem-
bly, $4,S92, ,460.43, which is an increase
over the appropriation of two years
ago of $1,S04, ,97292, an increase Of
more than so per cent.
The closing day of the session of
| the legislature was marked by the
complete rout of the Bowerman
forces in the house. The defeat of
the bill inspired by Bowerman and
presented by Norton, abolishing the
conservation commission; passage of
the flat salary bill when the house
responded to the message from the
governor and the passing of the ad-
ministration assistant secretary of
state bill, these were some of the
things which found the Bowerman
house forces attacking a wall which
was absolutely impenetrable.
Salem, Ore, Feb. 1S.-Representa-
tive Amme's bill fixing the liability
of telegraph and telephone com
panies for delayed and incorrect mes
sages which had tumultuous course
through the house, was killed in the
dying hours of the senate tonight, be-
ing indefinitely postponed.
Representative Beals' two tax
measures, proposing increased rates
on gifts, inheritances and legacies
were defeated in the senate this
afternoons Norton expressed the
opinion that all tax measures
should be passed up to the special
committee of the legislature on taxa
ton, which will submit such amend
ments to the people as it may deem
wise.
Standing at safe distance from
each other while the crowd in the
lobbies looked in vain for other than
verbal bricks to fly, Jay Bowerman
and Dan Kellaher, representing the
opposite poles of thought in the sen
ate, flung the lie at each other in
the senate late this afternoon and
performed new stunts in picturesque
personalities.
Yielding to sympathy, pleas and
the influence of deft politics played
by the Bowerman crowd, the senate
this afternoon refused to put State
Dairy and Food Commissioner Bailey
out of office. By vote of 13 ayes
and 16 nays, the senate rendered an
inconclusive verdict against the re-
moval bill, leaving Bailey still sad
died on the state and two reports de-
claring him incompetent lying on the
desk. Senator Joseph was the chief
pleader for Bailey, and made his talk
from the standpoint of a lawyer,
picking flaws in the testimony which
had convinced even himself that
Bailey should resign, as shown by
the so-called minority report from
the investigating committee, which
he signed.

Salem, Feb. 17-VirtualIy giving
the lie to five members of the Multi
nomah delegation in the senate,
Abraham started a midnight sensa-
ton, the first of the day when the
bill giving to the governor power to
appoint the commissioners of the
port of Portland appeared for final
passage.
Some of the members from out
lying counties took occasion to at
tack the only local measure that has
been introduced during the session
on which all the members of the
Multnomah county delegation have
agreed.
The house and senate are dead
locked on the question of good roads
legislation, and there is serious
question if any of the bills now be-
fore the two houses are finally
enacted.
Word came to the house today
from the senate that unless the
house passed the state-aid bill, the
senate would not consider further
the state highway board as amended
by the house and which is now on
the table in the senate. This moved
the friends of good roads in the
house to get busy.
At the opening of the afternoon
session they took from the table
Mariners bill appropriating $6S0,000
of state funds to aid construction of
permanent roads.
In committee of the whole the
total of the appropriation in this bill
was again reduced to $340000 and
the measure was then placed on
final passage.
Eclipsing all past records for ap-
propriations for a single day, both
houses of the Oregon legislature,
working like a machine today ground
out bills representing $3,S02124.93,
and uD to a late hour were still
passing on bills, many carrying appro-
priations.

stitutionality of suggested amend
ments and whether any should be
added to the bill.
Representative Clydes free text
book bill died an ignoble death in
the senate this morning. Instead OF
voting upon it in the usual way and
calling the roll for an orderly fu-
neral, Senator Kellaher moved in
definite postponement and the motion
prevailed with a whoop, only one
voice being raised in it's favor.
Several of the grangers in the
house have experienced change of
heart concerning the good roads bills
tabled on Tuesday and it is very
likely that two of these, the state
aid and county prisoners bills, will
be passed this afternoon or tomor-
row.
Contrary to general expectations,
senate bill No. %, presented by DR..
Locke, and regulating the practice of
physicians and natural healers, went
down to defeat in the house, a mo-
ton to indefinitely postpone action
being adopted.
The house on reconsideration de-
feated the Columbia River fishing
bill and annulled the agreement
reached with committee from the
Washington legislature in Portland
last week.

bers of the holdover legislative COM
mittee.
Victory came at last for the state
examiner bill in the senate yester-
day afternoon in unamended form
and substantially as submitted by
President Selling, it's author. Nu-
merous amendments proposed in the
committee on revision of laws were
discarded and the measure provides
for appointment of an examiner by
the governor to serve four years and
examine county as we'll as state ac-
counts. The salary of the examiner
is to be $4,000 year.
A debate which has not at the

vigor or bitterness preceded the de-
feat of the workingmen's compensa-
ton act in the house yesterday after
noon. Several times efforts were
made to kill the bill in the committee
of the whole by withdrawing vital
amendments, but it was permitted to
come before the house on it's merits
and then buried by vote of 80
to 25.

Salem, Feb. 1.-THE senate this
morning cleared away mass of de-
bris which had accumulated on the
desk. Almost forgotten resolutions,
which had lost potency were dragged
out and given the death thrust, so
the decks may be cleared for the last
rush of legislation. Bills postponed
indefinitely included Albee's proposed
regulation of street paving companies,
by which they would have been re
quired to complete contracts within
six months, and Abraham's measure
providing a detailed classification of
railroad rates.
Another bill put to sleep was Kella-
hers plan for half rates on long dis
tance telephone lines during the night
hours. Kellaher made minority
report, but gained little support.
Representative Clyde's bill for free
text books in the schools came from
committee without recommendation
Patton's bill placing the surveyor of
Marion county on salary Of $3.50
per month was the only new bill
passed.
BY vote of to IA, the house this
morning passed over Governor Vests
veto the bill repeating the whipping
post act.
The fight to save the bill was led
by its author, Buchanan of Douglas
who commented on the statement
made by the governor in his veto
message in which he said he had no
sympathy for the wife beater.

Salem, Feb. 13.-Two appropriation
bills, carrying an aggregate of $780,
600, were killed in the senate today
by indefinite postponement One
was McColloch's, granting $4,000 for
new bridge over Snake river in
Baker county, contingent upon like
appropriation by Idaho, and the other
Kellahers bill appropriating 100000
for a building for the Oregon His
torical society.
Other bills laid on the shelf by
indefinite postponement this morning
included Joseph's bill amending the
registration law, which was prepared
by County Clerk Fields of Multno-
NAH, and Locke's bill requiring a de-
posit by abstract companies gradu-
ated upon the population of the vari-
Gus counties.
The plan for creation of a new
water division in eastern Oregon was
another bill to feel the sharp edge
of the ak.
With only four votes in favor, the
senate today turned down the bill
increasing the membership of the
supreme court by adding two new
judges. Governor West had previous
ly announced he is opposed to an in.
crease and it's passage would have
invited a veto. The vote was to 25.
with Joseph, Malarkey, Norton and
Oliver in favor.

PASC0 HIS
 WAR SCARE

PASCo. Wash. Nov. 6-Pasco had a Japanese war scare" al os it's own yesterday, when an unknown labOrer brought in a Japanese who was arme with a camera and had been making pictures of the railroad bridges across the Columbia and Snake rivers. The Japanese was wen educated and ap- peared to be more frightened than hurt by the manner in which his cap tor. who was holding him by he nape of the neck was conducting him. Cap tor and captive entered the offices of Superintendent D. Frooe, of the Northern Pacific, where the Japanese stated that his name was A. Teukase, his address GA Shigad, Yamato, JapaT and that he was a graduate Of Nippo College. He claimed to bs employed by the Northern Pacific qs St Paul and that he was taking the pictures for his own use and study. although he bore no letters from the company or any credentials.
 He voluntarily opened his suitcase and showed tracings, negatives and pictures of many railroad bridges along the Pacific Coast in the neigh borhood of Seattle. Tacoma and Port land. and he even had a number of pictures of bridges in Montana and Idaho. Most of the views were appar enuy taken from the bottom, and showed the pillars Of the bridges and the mechanical devices for moving draws. The Sheriff's office was not. fled. but as there was no direct
 charge to be brought against the Tap, l he managed to slip away on the train No. of the Northern Pacific heading l for Spokane.
