At a meeting of officers and directors of the Oregon State Bankers' association in Portland a committee was named to dlevise the best ways and methods of inducing young men now on the farms to stay there and to urge young mhen now in the cities to go to the farms. The land conspiracy case of the gov- c•'men(unt in which six prominent ranch ers of Long valley, Idaho, were charged with forming a confederacy to deprive homeseekers of their claims by threats to tar and feather terminated in the federal court at Boise when a jury, having reported a disagreement, was discharged. The case will be retried at the next term of court. Subscribing to an affidavit Eleanor Maceo charges Max G. Cohen, who served as municipal judge in Portland during the absence of the incumbent, George 'la'well, recently, with under- taking to dictate to her the employ- niict of a lawyer, S. J.

Washington.--The call of 4he reRub- Jican national convention to be issued by the national committee, December 12, will provide for 1064 delegates, to be increased to 1072 if Arizona and New Mexico become states before the convention is held. The increase from 980 delegates which composed the Chicago convention in 1908 is the result of reapportionment by congress, which increased the size of the house of representatives from 391 to 413 members, or 435 with the two new states. A table showing the apportionment of the delegates to the 1912 convention has been prepared by Francis Curtis, in charge here of the combined publicity headquarters of the republican national committee and the republican congres- sional committee. This arrangement is expected to be adopted without change by the committee. • The Distribution. The distribution follows: Alabama ............ 24 New York ........ 9( t Arkansas ....... 18 N. Carolina ...... 2 California ........ 26 N. Dakota ........ 1( Colorado ............. 12 Ohio ............ 41......

The basis of delegates for the re- publican convention is: Four at large in each state, two for each congressional district. These large gains in the state delegations will be: New York 12, Pennsylvania 8, Okla- homa and California 6, Illinois, Mas sachusetts, New Jersey, Texas and Washington, four each. Other states will gain two each, or retain the apportionment of the 19008 convention. Elections Nov. 7. Chicago.-Although the elections to be held November 7 will be quiet, coin- pared with the presidential struggle a year hence, interest in them is keen. States that will elect governors are Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maryland. Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisiana and New Mexico. In other states justices of the supreme court, members of the legislatures and mayors of cities will be among the officials chosen. Several vacancies are to be filled. While this is regarded as an off year, national interest centers in Massachus- efns, where the democratic and repub- lican parties have named full state tickets. Eugene N. Foss, who was elect- ed as a democratic governor in a repub- lican state last year, is a candidate for re-election. The republican ticket is headed iv Louis . Fothering, the present repulb- lican lieutenant governor. Members of the legislature will also be chosen. In New York a new assembly will be elected, as well as several justices of the supreme court and city and coun- ty 'officials. AFTER STEEL TRUST NOW. Government Starts Action to Dissolve the Combination. Washington.--More subpenas for the defendants in the government dissolu- tion suit against the steel corporation were filed Monday. Attorney Genfrt•I Wickersham wanted to have such sub- penas accompanied by a copy of the government's allegations, but it was impossible for the private printing office. which printed the bill to furnish the required number of copies. Bryan Pleased. Norfolk, Neb.-William J. Bryan, in an interview here said he would he glad to see suit begun against the United States Steel corporation. He thought it should have been started 10 years ago, but the fact that it was a suit in equity instead of a criminal prosecution, he declared, showed that either the president rec- ognized that the anti-trust law was now worthless as a criminal law or that he did not want to punish big criminals. If George can make a dog mad, can he make an aviator soar? BUR]jS KILL YAKIMA WOMAN Mrs. Robert Moberly Rushes to Neigh. bors With Clothing Ablaze and Dies Later in Hospital. North Yakima, Wash.-After turning a new lamp upside down to let the oil run into a new wick, Mrs. Robert Mo- berly was so badly burned by the spreading flames that she died Sunday, 15 hours after the accident occurred. The first attempt to ignite the dry wick failed and she turned the lamp over for a moment. Some of the oil spread to the bowl and drippqd. The flame of the next match spread and her clothes quickly caught fire. She rushed into an adjoining resi- dence with her apparel blazing and her hair awl eyebrows scorched. Herburn- ing clothing was cut from her by a neighbile and she was taken to the hos- pital, where she died in less than 24 hours. COAL MINES NOT TO OPEN YET. Resumption of Work in Alberta Delayed. lBlairmnore, Alberta.-The minework. ers ollicially announce the result of several conferences between representa- tives from the Western Coal Operators' association and District 18, United Mineworkers of America, held in dif- ferent pirts of the affected district re- cent ly. The operators' association and union Iflicials will hold joint meetings at F'r:.nk, Alberta, and it is confidently exp.cTrIl an agreement will be reached and igjned. This will necessitate con- niderablc time and will not permit the nines being reopened-before the second week in Novembr. LATE SPORTING NOTES. A. '. Baunn will head the Coast league next year. "' Wild Bob"' Burman, driver of rac- ing motor cars, has bought a new " ' thre -mile-a-minute'' racer. Sydiiuy, N. S. W.-Sam McVey, the American pugilist, knocked out "Bill:' Lang of Victoria in the second round 3 Saturday. Thr 'lc are four men in this country who are capable of running a nile in 4:10. These men are John Paul Jones, Wilton Paul, Melvin Sheppard and Abel Kiviat. At P'ortlaud John Sallnlan, aged 53, probably fatally shot John Flora, aged I 22, following hot words over a 12-year- old girl, with whom both men are al- leged to be in love. 'Matt McGrath of the Irish American athletic club, threw the 16-pound ham- mer 187 feet 4 inches, in New York, Sunday, thus breaking the world's rec- ord held by John Flanagan, by 3 feet. Joe Rivers, the Los Angeles feather- weight, ''came back" in decisive fashion Saturday at Vernon, defeating George Kirkwood of St. Louis in the eighth round of their scheduled 20- round bout. The Northwest tour which was ar- ranged for Frank Gotch, wrestling champion of the world, may not take place this fall as per schedule. Gotch was giving an exhibition at Wichita, Kan., when he received word that his father had died in Humboldt, Iowa. Another chapter in the notorious Alan (Idaho) race scandal, which started with the "pulling" of Enfield by Jockey Clifford Gilbert, followed by the ruling off the turf of the jockey, was closed when Eugene Crump, who, wvith his friends, is reported to have lost $9000 on the near-" killing," was suspended. Gilbert now confesses he was to get $1500 for "pulling" his horse. Eastern Football Results. At Cambridge-Harvard 20, Brown 6. At Annapolis-Navy 0, Western Re- serve 0.

Los Angeles.-Strong possibility of an appeal for change of judge marked the close of the third week of the Mc- Namara murder trial, which ended October 28 in a general snarl. One such demand already has been refused by Judge Walter Bordwell, the refusal being backed by an affidavit from Judge George H1. Hutton, presiding judge of the 12 departments of the superior court of Los Angeles county, certifying to the impartiality of Judge Bordwell. Fpla La Follette a Bride. Washington.-Miss Fola La Follette, daughter of Senator La Follette of Wis- consin, was married recently at the home of her parents, to George Middle- ton, of New York, a playwright.

IMPERIALISTS A NEW 0CIURAGE. Contract to Borrow $18,000,000 Ii Made With Belgian Syndicate-Dip lomatic Body Meets-Policing of Ch Li Province With Troops Held Con trary to Protocol of 1892. Peking.-The report of an imperial victory in the vicinity of Hankow which has been received from the min ister of war, General Yin Tehang, ha. revived the drooping spirits of the ad. ministration. Additional comfort ha< been found in the conclusion of a loan, which Chinese officials say has just been arranged with a Belgian syndi- cate having French and British con- nections. This loan is for $18,000,000, the price being 96, with 6 per cent in- terest. The syndicate receives 4 per cent commission. The financial groups representing the four nations interested in the rail- way loan, the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany, took under advisement a proposition for a loan of $8,000,000, but the United States financiers decided that the pres- ent is an inopportune moment. Diplomatic Body Meets. The diplomatic body held a meet- ing and considered the request of the viceroy of the province of Chi Li for permission to police Tientsin with troops, which is contrary to the inter- national protocol of 1902. The min- isters, however, decided to permit the viceroy to do so, owing to the serious conditions prevailing. The ministers decided also to authorize the consuls at Hankow to deal temporarily with all .questions cropping up, but the seizure of foreign ships carrying goods that might be called contraband of war, as threatened by the rebel leader, General Li Yuan Heng, can not be permitted. Regarding the appeal of Shanghai business men through the consuls that a 30-mile zone around Shanghai be de- clared neutral, the ministers declined to assent, on the ground that it was a matter for decision by the powers. Peking Is in Panic. Panic prevails at Peking. Both Manchu and Chinese families are tak- ing precautionary measures against immediate disturbances. The Chinese are alarmed, owing to a report that the Manchu garrison intends to begin a massacre if it meets with reverses at the hais of the rebels in the south. The Manchus are said also to fear a massacre on the part of the Chinese. Both continue to desert the capital. All trains are delayed and the foreign banks are receiving deposits and lumps of silver and gold. Foreign business houses within the legation quarter are receiving treasure chests for safekeeping at high rates of storage. Many foreigners living outside the legation quarter are be- coming alarmed and are formulating in conjunction with the legations measures against emergency. Later Report. Peking.-The situation in Peking is becoming alarming. A veritable panic prevails among the Manchus, and the Manchu women are adopting - Chinese dress. Some of them are attempting to make their feet appear smaller b1 peculiarly constructed shoes. Almost all departing trains are drawn by two engines, so heavily are they loaded, the people sitting on top of their household belongings. Officials are seeking asylum for their wives and children among the foreigners. Prior to the revolution, the news- papers frequently cried out against the presence of foreign soldiers, but the natives are now fleeing to them for shelter. One report fixes tomorrow night for an outbreak, but the presence of 15,000 Manchu troops insures the safe- ty of the capital for the present. The only danger seems to be from a sudden attack against the throne and the officials, which might precipitate the threatened massacre of the Manchus. Race feeling is becoming intensified. President Taft at Chicago. Chicago.--President Taft spent a busy day in Chicago Saturday. IHe spoke to the American Mining congress in the morning, indorsing the speech made by Secretary of the Interior Fisher here and told the members of the Chicago Bar association that h, was, and expects always to be, op- posed to the recall of the judiciary: rode 60 miles by special train to dedi- cate the new naval training station at North Chicago and addressed at night the Chicago Association of Commere on peace and arbitration. Later he was guest of the city at a local hotel and Sunday and Monday he tried to keep up with a fairly strenuous pro- gram. Richeson Hearing to Be Long. Boston.-The grand jury will be compelled to sit several days this week hearing further evidence against the Rev. Clarence V. iY. Richeson of Cam- bridge, charged with' the murder of Avis Lianell of Hyannis, by the serv- ing of several new summons. Nelson, B. C, census gives 5,513. OTHER MARKETS.

MANCIIHU DYNASTYWINS A VIlTORI
TRIUMPS AT HANKOW JiIVE.IMPERIALISTS A NEW
0CIURAGE.Contract to Borrow $18,000,000 Ii
Made With Belgian Syndicate-Diplomatic Body Meets-Policing of ChLi Province With Troops Held Contrary to Protocol of 1892.
Peking.-The report of an imperialvictory in the vicinity of Hankowwhich has been received from the minister of war, General Yin Tehang, ha.revived the drooping spirits of the ad.ministration. Additional comfort ha<been found in the conclusion of a loan,which Chinese officials say has justbeen arranged with a Belgian syndi-cate having French and British con-nections. This loan is for $18,000,000,the price being 96, with 6 per cent in-terest. The syndicate receives 4 percent commission.
The financial groups representingthe four nations interested in the rail-way loan, the United States, GreatBritain, France and Germany, tookunder advisement a proposition for aloan of $8,000,000, but the UnitedStates financiers decided that the pres-ent is an inopportune moment.
Diplomatic Body Meets.The diplomatic body held a meet-
ing and considered the request of theviceroy of the province of Chi Li forpermission to police Tientsin withtroops, which is contrary to the inter-national protocol of 1902. The min-isters, however, decided to permit theviceroy to do so, owing to the seriousconditions prevailing. The ministersdecided also to authorize the consulsat Hankow to deal temporarily with all.questions cropping up, but the seizureof foreign ships carrying goods thatmight be called contraband of war, asthreatened by the rebel leader, GeneralLi Yuan Heng, can not be permitted.
Regarding the appeal of Shanghaibusiness men through the consuls thata 30-mile zone around Shanghai be de-clared neutral, the ministers declinedto assent, on the ground that it wasa matter for decision by the powers.
Peking Is in Panic.Panic prevails at Peking. Both
Manchu and Chinese families are tak-ing precautionary measures againstimmediate disturbances. The Chineseare alarmed, owing to a report thatthe Manchu garrison intends to begina massacre if it meets with reversesat the hais of the rebels in the south.The Manchus are said also to fear amassacre on the part of the Chinese.Both continue to desert the capital.All trains are delayed and the foreignbanks are receiving deposits andlumps of silver and gold.
Foreign business houses within thelegation quarter are receiving treasurechests for safekeeping at high ratesof storage. Many foreigners livingoutside the legation quarter are be-coming alarmed and are formulatingin conjunction with the legationsmeasures against emergency.
Later Report.Peking.-The situation in Peking is
becoming alarming. A veritable panicprevails among the Manchus, and theManchu women are adopting -Chinesedress. Some of them are attemptingto make their feet appear smaller b1peculiarly constructed shoes.
Almost all departing trains are drawnby two engines, so heavily are theyloaded, the people sitting on top oftheir household belongings. Officialsare seeking asylum for their wives andchildren among the foreigners.
Prior to the revolution, the news-papers frequently cried out against thepresence of foreign soldiers, but thenatives are now fleeing to them forshelter. One report fixes tomorrow nightfor an outbreak, but the presence of15,000 Manchu troops insures the safe-ty of the capital for the present.
The only danger seems to be from asudden attack against the throne and theofficials, which might precipitate thethreatened massacre of the Manchus.Race feeling is becoming intensified.
