If they can get what they want in this city they will go no far- ther, but if the agencies here of the big | manufacturers cannot supply their needs they will go st and do their marketing at the factories.

But the mpire is large, and no better evi- of its vastness exists than the sim- story of these . 'prosperous Siberian They are Molokans.

Wherever eise he may- exist, the “man | with the hoe”.is not one of the features | of rural life in Eastern Siberia. These men who arrived here yesterday- from ‘darkest” Russia have been pursuing ag- riculture for years along intelligent lines and with the aid of modern machinery. They are bright-looking men and each is said to be an expert in the application of | machinery to farming operations. They are members of a farmers' association, and were selected by their brother agri- culturists to make this trip. They speak no English, but are accom- panied by Constantine Krasiinikoff, a shrewd young Russian, who lived for ten years in this eity and talks United States like a native son. Krasilnikoff left here three years ago and took up his residence in Eastern Siberfa. He can tell the quar- tet.nothing about agricultural machinery, but be will act as interpreter and business agent for the four Molokans. Krasiinikoff says the farmers of Eastern Siberia are wgry prosperous. Through their association they are able to operate on a large scale and to handle their pro- duce to the best advantage. They have used American machines and implements for years and keep in constant touch with | all improvements. | Alexander Primoganolli, Andre Gridnefy, Michel Leshtaeff and Vvlas Oskin, the four Russian farmers who crossed the Pa- cifie on the Siberia, are strong-limbed, in- telligent men of independent bearing.

Will . Support Pending Measure LONDON, March 80.—The . Govern- ment - has suyrrendered to the Labor party on the trades disputes bill and Premier (ampbell-Bannerman himself said in the House today that he would support the bill introduced by the La- bor party in opposition to the Govern- ment measures. He advised the House to accept the bill of the Labor party, which came up for a second reading. After some opposition and twitting of the Government for its “cowardly surrender to the clamor of the Labor party,” the bill passed its second read- ing by 456 to 66 votes. _ It provides complete jmmunity for trade union funds, the clause relating thereto reading: “No action shall be brought ggainst a trade union or other association aforesaid for the recovery of damages sustained by any person Or persons by reason of the action of any member or members of such trade union or other assoelation,” Otherwise the bill is practically a duplicate of the Government measure. The Premier explained that the ob- jeet of the Government was to “place the rival powers of capital and labor on an equality so that in the event of a fight g should be a fair one” He thought that the great mass of public opinion recognized the beneficial et- fects of trade unions, especlally in the prevention of conflicts. The present situation was created by a judge-made law, which defeated the intentions of Parliament. 3 WILL INSPECT FARM } OFFERED TO STATE Commissioners Will Visit Ranch That May Become Experimental Station.

UNCER DRVES THEN TO DEATH Starving Natives Kill Their Loved Ones and Then Put an End to Their Own Lives ———i TWO TRIBES EXTINCT O Terrible Story of Cannibal- ism and Destitution Comes From Chukchis Peninsula —— ST. PETERSBURG, March 30.—Horrible accounts are reaching St. Petersburg of cannibalism and starvation among tribes inhabiting the Arctic plain of the Chuk- chis peninsula, at the extremity of Asia. Most of the reindeer dled of starvation during the winter of 1904-05, leaving the Inhabitants without means of communi- cation or food. During the last winter whole tribeg have died, and members of the Omolons and Oleiya tribes, when facing starvation, assembled in council and decided that nothing remained but death. They agreed tifat each head of a family should kill his wife and children and then commit suicide. The tribesmen gathered on a plateau covered with snow and jce, and in the darkness of the Arctic winter the spartan decision was executed, not a single member of the twe tribes surviving. More revolting still is the story of what occurred in a family of the Yukahir tribe. A mother and nine of her children died of hunger, the father, a surviving daugh- ter and a nephew lived upon the remains, and when they were consumed, the father murdered the nephew. A Russian named Dolganoff, who went to the region to buy furs, reported the situation at Yatkutsk, Siberia. He entered a snow hut of a Yukahir family while the latter were eating a murdered relative.

These cdntracts are not looked upon by oil men as perfectly legitimate transactions. It is said that it is an effort to affect the independents in mak- ing a new contract with the agency. However, the effect will probably be to the contrary and will cause the in- dependents to hold out longer, inas- much as teday's proceedings give evi- dence that the stand taken by the inde- pendents is causing the Associated some WOrry, A S OREGON WOMEN ARE STIRRED BY ARRIVAL OF SUFFRAGISTS Matrons and Muids of Webfoot State (o Renew Eiforts to Secure Elec- - tornl Franchise. z " PORTLAND, March 30.—-With the ar- rival in this city of Rev.

His R/e‘signati'o'h\ in the Hands of Czar. Poor ‘Health Given as_;Reason for Retirement. e ST. PETERSBURG, JMarch 3.—Since the sitting of the Counfil of the Empire Mareh 19, at which Premier Witte made an enigmatical statement which was in- terpreted by many members of the coun- cil as a virtual declaration that his ca- reer 2s Premier was ended and that he ‘would be succeeded by Privy Councilor Kokovsoff, former Minister of Finance, the Premier has not attended the session of the council and his continued ghsence adds celor to the rumors of his retire- ment at an early date. The Associated Press is positively informed that the Pre- mier's resignation, based on the ground of i ealth, is before the Emperor. This, however, 13 not admitted at the Pre- mier's chaneellory. The general belief in high quarters is that if Count Witte re- tires it will net be M, Kokovsoff, but M. Goremykin, former Minister of the In- terior, or General Count Ignatieff, leader of the reactionary party, who will suc- ceed him. The combination of the reac- tionaries is understood to be M. Goremy- kin for Premier and General Ignatieff for Minister of the Interior. In Moderate ecircles the fall of Count Witte at the present juncture would be regarded as a catastrophe. et MASSACRE IS IMMINENT. Report That Jews In Southwestern Rus- #ia Are te 'Be Killed. - §T. PETERSBURG, March 30.—The League of Russian Writers has issued an appeal te the Russian people to unite in the name of their consclences and seif- respect té prevent the Jewish massacres ‘which, they claim, are beyond doubt being prepared in Southwestern Russia for Bas- tertide. The appeal says that it is not fancy but fact that the pelice and gendarmes are arranging to let loose the black hundred upon the members of the poor, helpless race. It recalls that the Kishi: , Gomel apd Odessa anti-Jewish outrages were committed at the instiga- tion of Minister of the Interior Plehve, Chief of Police Neldhardt and Count Pod- gerichanie, Chief of the Gendarmerie of Gomel. ‘Just as in past times, St. Bar- tholomew days were arranged by agents of the Government, the appeal declares, the:recent preclamations emanating from the printing office of the palice master at St -Petersburg -and that of the military staff at- Odessa leave ne doubt that toe authorities are privy to the present pro- paganda. - The" further declares that M. -Kalsousky's book warning Jews to leave Russia immediateiy or be treated as the Jews were treated by the Span- iards in the middle ages was printed and distributed from the offices of the police masters of St. Petersburg and Ekater- inoslav. The League of Writers elaims to hold prbof that masacres have been planned to take place at Alexandrovsk, Minsk, Brest, Litovsk, Rostof-on-Don and Krementchug. It also pointg out that the anti-Jewish press is spreading imsidious rumors designed to excite the igmerant, instancing specifically the case of the Moscow day, wherein was printed an ar- ticle under the caption;” “The Jewish Easter 1s Coming—Take Care of Your Children,” containing the usual horrible imtimation of “blood atonement.” The appeal asks how long the Russian people will remain idle spectators of ai infamy which brings the shame of the world upon the nation. “None of the non- Russian peoples oppressed by the Govern- ment suffer so many bloody tragedies as the Jews," the appeal says.” “We know how Armenians have be¢en massacred, how students have been beaten and the awful treatment to which the intelligen- cia and all fighters for liberty, have been subjected, but none that compares with the hatred for Jews, who are perpetually trembling before a blooay mightmare. These Jews are Russian citizens, whose destruction is our shame. 'Their fight for their rights is our fight for our delivery. Unite to proteet them.
