czarlna Is Near Death.

st. Petersburg Confirmation of re-
ports that the czarina is again in a
critical condition was obtained yes
terday from attaches of the palace.
Her majestys recent trip to Bad
Nauheim brought only temporary re-
lief and her nervous disorder and
melancholia returned simultaneously
with her return to the palace. 1t is
feared that the empress has not long
to live. She is hysterical much of
the time, her condition amounting al
most to insanity whenever the czaro-
witch is not in her sight.

wireless dispatch received by the
navy department today from Com
mander Cooper of the United States
steamship Marietta.
The dispatch merely said ii had
been found necessary to place a force
on board to detain the Hornet, and
added that details would be reported
later. The state department is await.

The encouragement is investigat.

the neutrality laws of the United

state department has announced that
the vessel would not be permitted

intention of the revolutionists to
strike a telling blow The navel of.

Salem, Ore, Jan. 17.-Frank Kier-

the Broadway bridge were given a
jolt by the lawmakers today when
the 80 state senator's, by unani-
nous vote, suspended the rules and
passed the bill which gives legisla-
tive sanction for building the bridge
and validates the bonds.
Action taken by the house this
morning for the investigation of the
office of State Dairy and Food Com
missioner J. W. Bailey may lead to
the impeachment of that official and
his removal from office. The senti-
ment of the house was plainly shown
this morning in the adoption of the
resolution providing for the inquiry
without a dissenting voice.
The resolution was introduced last
week by Abrams of Marion. 1t in
cluded a clause for the investigation
of the master fish warden and for
the state board of health, because
they are located in Portland In the
resolution committee the proposal
was amended so as to exclude in
vestigation of these two offices, the
members unanimously declaring there
was no call for such inquiries.
Some of the Multnomah represen-
tatives see a clause in the convict
roads bill which they believe is to
deprive Sheriff Stevens of Multno-
nah of some of the profits of his
office, and there is a strong fight
ahead for the proposed measure un-
less it is altered. The bill was drawn

city and county prisoners on the
highways.
Rotation of names on the primary
ballot is provided in a bill presented
by the judiciary committee as a sub
stitute for Sinnott's bill on the same
line. About the only change is ex-
tension of the area to all county

whatever the number of candidates
for any particular Office, the name
of each candidate shall appear at the
head of ticket as many times as the
name of any other candidate.
Two bills were passed by the house
this morning. The first came from
the Douglas county delegation and is
designed to protect and prevent the
pollution of the waters of the Ump-
qua river.
