S tf (ft 9 HI Federal Officials Shall Keep Out of Politics. ROOSEVELT IS DETERMINED ijdaho MeiTDesired to Be Dele ' gates to Convention. SflWPjBOES TO THE EXTREME ssayer-H. Smith WooIIey Is Denied the Privilege of Attending State Gathering Even as a . Citizen, OREGOKMN NEvTS BUREAU, "Wash Ington, Aug. B. -President Roosevelt Is determined that Federal officials, as such. -shall not mix in partisan politics, and to this end has "withheld his approval o the Explications of H. Smith Woolley. assayer at Boise, and Robert Grimmon, United States Marshal for Idaho, to attend the Idaho Republican State Convention as delegates from their respective counties. In the case o Assayer Woolley, "who was only appointed last "Winter, alter tho hardest" kind of a light, the Treasury De partment has gone to the extreme of denying him the right to even attend the State Convention in a private capacity. But Secretary Shaw, It is freely asserted, has It in for "Woolley, and probably takes this means of displaying his personal feel ings. When Woolley first came- up for ap pointment Shaw opposed him. Special agents sent out to Idaho by Shaw to in - vestigate the charges against Woolley, It is alleged, counselled only his enemies, and brought back a biased report which enabled the Secretary to affirm his orig' inal opposition. Shaw was influenced by the charges made against Woolley by certain Idaho newspapers and by individuals, and he would not listen to the presentation of the case "by Senator Heyburn or give cre dence o Woolley's personal explanation when he. came to Washingtonr-Wooll ey's - vTi&majSwas senttothejSesjitp .against .the recommendation of Secretary ShowJ ut was confirmed. In the caso ol Marshal Grimmon, the Department of Justice says it has no ob jection to his attending the convention as a citizen. The newspapers and Individuals who made a fight to prevent Woolley's ap pointment are now protesting against al lowing Woolley and Grimmon to partici pate in the convention. The Administration, it can bo stated on good authority, has had about all, in the way of complaints, that it cares for from Idaho, and is becoming disgusted with the .methods practiced by some individu als who are not in sympathy with the dominant party in the state or with the recognized leaders of the party. ALASKA MAY FIND FAULT. Postal Department Does for Bankers What It Would Not for Territory. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, D. C, Aug. 9. The Postofflce De partment, by issuing an order today at the behest of capitalists and bankers of Now York, eliminating all weight re strictions on first-class mail matter ad dressed to foreign countries where do mestic rates do not apply, lays itself open to criticism of discriminating against Alaska. Last Winter an effort was made to induce the department to waive the -weight restrictions on first-class mail matter, so that Alaska miners might ship their gold to states by mail in packages weighing more than four pounds, but this privilege was denied. Shippers represent ed through Congressmen that they were now at the mercy of the transportation companies, which were charging exorbi tant rates to bring gold to the states, and they therefore sought the privilege of shipping' by mall. The department then held it could not amend its regulation. Now, however. It amends the regulation In order that the banks may more conven iently ship their securities abroad. WIN Inspect Submarine Mines. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, D. C, Aug. 9. Captain George F. Barney, of the Artillery Corps, was to day detailed for special duty as Inspector of submarine mines, and will proceed to the harbors ef San Diego; the mouth of the Columbia River" and Pugot Sound for the purpose of inspecting and reporting upon the condition and sufficiency of sub marine mining material and the scope and extent of' submarlneinstruction in those harbors. Upon completion of this duty "he will report to the commanding officer of the artillery district of Puget Sound for duty on his staff. Cholera In St. Petersburg. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 9. Several cases of cholera are said to have occurred in St. Petersburg. This nas not oeen om dally confirmed, but it is a fact that the government is contemplating the adoption of precautionary measures, and the Rus sian press is anxiously aiscussing me mat ter. M , , A story to the effect that cases of chol om had resulted fatally proves, , upon in vestlgation, to be entirely without foundation- v. - , Nevertheless tho restaurants Tiave been ordered to use only filtered water and un sanitary buildings are being overhauled, cleaned and disinfected. The sanitary authorities say the only real cause of alarm Is. to be found in the City of Nizhne Novgorod, the capital of the government of that name, where the annual fair is now In progress. Quantities of merchandise, have been brougnt nere from Persia, by way of Baku and tnese might possibly carry the Infection. Even should the disease reacn au Petersburg, it is not likely to be of a severe character, owing to the advanced season and the low temperature. MINISTER MAY LEAVE POST. Turkey Must Meet American Demand Before Fleet Reaches Smyrna. WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. Secretary Hay occupied considerable time at the Cabinet meeting today in a presentation of the latest phases of the Turkish situation. He explained the reasons which had actuated him in requesting that the American European squadron should be sent to Smyrna, the most convenient port to Constantinople. It Is not deemed by the. Secretary that tho reasons for this ac tion should be disclosed entirely at this time. Fresh negotiations with the porte have been Instituted, and In the event of their failuro It may be that Minister Irishman may leave his post and go aboard the American flagship, thus cre ating a situation "of some seriousness. Under a recent decision of the courts the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Company is proceeding to collect from the Government additional charges for the Government telephone service. Con tracts have been presented to, the Gov ernment by the company by which a substantial advance in the rates hereto fore paid are charged. This proposition does not meet the approval of the Presi dent and members of the Cabinet, and it is sujTsrested that the Government erect and operate a telephone system of its own among the various departments and. to officers of the District of Co lumbia. After a thorough discussion of the subject. Secretary of the Navy Morton was delegated to make an investigation of the matter and to report fully at a later time. It is realized, of course, that the establishment of such a system would necessitate Congressional action, but it Is believed thl3 may bo secured -witnout special difficulty on the statement of facts presented. SULTAN WON'T YIELD EASILY. i Leading German Paper Discusses the Grounds of His Opposition. BERLIN. Aug. 9. The press .generally prints news of tho action taken by Sec retary Hay with regard to tho difficul ties between the United States ana Tur key without commenting thereon. The National Zeltung, however, considers the subject at great length and says the center of gravity lies In the demands of the United States, which are no longer for compensation to Americans for losses sustained owing to the troubles in Ar menla, but for the raising of American diplomatic representation to Ambassa dorial dignity in order that American citizens may enjoy in Turkey the same rights and privileges enjoyed by the citi zens of other powers signatory to the treaties of Paris and Berlin. . The Turkish Government opposes the wishes of the United States In this re spect allegedly on the grounds of econ omy, but really, because naturalized Ar menians. "American Asiatics, "are tne most dangerous enemies to tho existing order of affairs in Turkey. The Sultan, the National Zoltung says. is not likely to yield without a hard Struggle, and President Roosevelt can not afford tho loss of prestige wnicn would result from a failure to enforce his demands. For this latter reason, the outcome will bo watched with the great est interest. Porte Has Made No Reply. CONSTANTINOPLE, Monday, Aug. 8. The American Legation has not yet re ceived a reply from the porte regarding the demand upon the Turkish Govern ment for the same favored treatment In the matter of schools, hospitals and char itable institutions accorded to other pow ers. However, it Is anticipated by diplo mats that the demand will be granted before the arrival of the American squad ron at Smyrna.

Today 40,000 acres of the neces sary 46.000 acres td be irrigated have been subscribed. That tho long-prayed-for Am nf irritmtlnn in Malheur County 13 about to open now seems a certainty Reclamation Service officials have told the people of Malheur that few delays will prevent the beginning of actual con structlon of the canals and ditches. Be fore the season closes the field work of the surveyors will be ended. Today was held the largest meeting for commercial purposes ever held In Mal heur County. It was called to oraer by F. W.

Never has such en thuslasm greeted speakers In Malheur County on Irrigation ana toe Auuncux project is practically sure to go The Malheur-' project as .now seen toy the Government officials Is expressed in the following Interviews: H. N. Savage, supervising engineer, aid: "The movement for Federal recla mation In the Malheur v alley nas as sumed such splendid proportions that Its success seems assured. The farmers have gradually become Informed of the re quirements of the Government, ana are evincing a most satisfactory spirit in meeting them. . The further' steps will not necessitate any great delay, and the en gineers are nearly prepared to Inaugu rate actual construction. The diamond drill explorations have beea going, on some time at dam sites for the storage reservoir in Harper Valley, the results being quite satisfactory. Absolutely solid bedrock has teen found at no great dis tance below the surfaco of the stream. The borlns machinery has been trans ferred to other sites in the canyon below, where the explorations will be continued in order to develop which of the several available sites is best adapted for the proposed high dam. I will return August 20, accompanied by District Engineer J. T. Whistler, to go over the engineering features of the project, and at that time will lay out the line of Investigations to be pursued in continuing the work. We hope to com plete the field work by the, end of this season." F. H. Newell, chief of the Reclamation Servicq. said: I congratulate the farmers of Malheur County upon the progress made in per feeling an organization to secure Federal aid for the Malheur project They are in earnest, and are doing all that can reason- ablybe expected to meet the requirements of the Interior Department The far reaching importance of the project to the valley, and to the state is being generally recognized and tho broad-minded and pro- trresslve farmers are earnestly working to harmonize various interests through out the valley. I am confident that the Mainour Water Users' Association will soon be duly organized, and before many weeks will bo able to enter into a contract with the Government. The Reclamation Service" will then be ready to advertise for bids on part of the construction work. It was a most satisfactory meeting today, and the sentiments expressed indicate that tho movement has gained such headway that the project seems practical ly assured." When asked about Oregon as a field for irrigation enterprises, Mr. Newell Eald "To the Reclamation Service Oregon grows more promising as our investlga tions proceed. Wo are actively pushing our surveys all over Central and Southern Oregon. We are exerting our principal efforts on the Malheur project at presant in order to get the work'under way, but are not neglecting any section which oromlsGS a feasible project. "The preliminary' reconnaissance of tho Klamath project Is about concluded, Lands have been withdrawn on the Ance and Silver Rivers, and altogether Oregon is receiving more than her share of the attention of the service." Mr. Bain, legal adviser, said: "I have examined the articles of lncor poration of the Malheur Water Users' As soclatlon, and believe they substantially meet the requirements of the law. The practical work accomplished by the farm ers since my last visit here is most pleas ing. This section Is one of the most fa vored now being considered by the Gov ernment enclneors." C J. Blanchard, statistician of the serv ice, said: . "Today Malheur County really entered upon an era of Its greatest development Under a perfect system or irrigation Mai heur County will have 2500 inhabitants. It is unusually favored by soli and climate have unbounded confidence tnat farmers will make this project a go." Mr. Richardson said: ' "You cannot exaggerate the possibilities before Malheur County."

DEPENDS NAVAL OUTLAY. Lord Selbourne Shows Britain Needs. a Great Fleet. TtNDON. Aug. 9. Replying to crltl- Momo" nt th naval expenditures in the House of Lords today. Lord Selbourne, First Lord of the Admiralty: warmiy de fended the naval outlay. Me saia it was mnrn imnortant now than ever before that British battleships especially should nf the larcest and best type. Referring to submarine boats. Lord Selbourne said their value for defensive mimoses had been abundantly proVed. They were a great addition to tho national strength. He did not Deneve suomanne boats had reached their limit of improve ment or usefulness. Lord Selbourne said the offer or iora Goschen, made when he was First Lord nf the. Admiralty, that it other nations uld agree to diminish their rate of ship building. Great Britain would not be slow to join the movement, had not been- wlthdrawn, but the conditions now were more complicated. A few years ago it would have sufficed if France and Great Britain had acreed to diminish tneir shlDbuildlncr. but now there were almost half n. dozen creat naval powers, and Great Britain and France must consider tho expenditures of other powers. The nowers stand was convenient as regards battleships, but had never had Its appli cation to cruisers or torpedo ooats. TUEKS BTJTGHEE WOMEU. Armenians In Revenge Make Garrison Resemble Graveyard.

BOTH SUFFER BIG LOSSES Entire- Japanese Fleet Bom bards the City, RUSSIAN FLEET ENGAGES IT Firing Is at Such- Long Range as to Be of Little Effect Attacking Force Only Retires When Completely Exhausted. SPECLVL CABLE. LONDON, Aug. 10. The Chefoo corre spondent of the London Daily Telegraph, one of that newspaper's most reliable men, under date of Augifst 9, states that two messengers have arrived there from Port Arthur, who bring an account of the most desperate fighting of the war, which Is said to have begun last Sunday and continued for three days. According to the correspondent, the Japanese, following their capture of "Wolf Hill, immediately began to prepare for an assault upon the chain of forts which line the limits of the town. Bri gade after brigade moved out, until finally three divisions of Japanese troops occupied a position stretched entirely across the country beyond Port Arthur. So far a3 could be seen from the. town, the attacking forces were so disposed that they were enabled to attack in four divisions, the two central of which were much the strongest numerically. After the Japanese had disposed of their forces, they began a cannonading, the strength of which was very much greater than any which the garrison had previously ex perienced. For four hours the enormous siege guns poured hundreds of pounds of metal into the Russian fortifications, and many of the garrison were killed or wounded before nightfall caused the en emy to cease Its efforts. . At dawn the next day the Japanese, massed on the extreme right of the fort ress, moVed- forward, and the Russian guns opened on. them. Little daunted for a time, they made a desperate effort-o capture the smaller of the forts, but the rifle and artillery fire of the Russian: was so deadly that the attacking party was forced to retreat before more than half of the distance had been covered. Fleet Bombards the Town. Shortly afterward the entire Japaness fleet, which had taken up a position be hind the peninsula, began a long-ranga bombardment of the town. Pursuant to orders, the "' Russian fleet sailed out to distract the Japanese warships, and a naval conflict at long range was Imme diately precipitated. The warships fired on each other until nightfall, and there were casualties on both sides, how great Is still unknown. Soon after darkness had put an end to the conflict, the Jap anese attempted a night attack all along the line, which would have proved suc cessful had it not been for the vigilance of the Russian sentries of the extreme left, who, while closely scrutinizing tho Japanese positions, -discovered evidences that a movement of some character was being planned. The word was quickly given, and tho fortifications were manned by all of the men who could be spared. "When the Japanese moved, forward, expecting to completely surprise a sleeping garrison, they were greeted with a fire that flesh and blood could not withstand, and within an hour they were forced to retreat, leav ing their dead and wounded behind. Tho fighting was renewed tho next day, and for hours the conflict raged. Try as they would, however, the Japanese were un able to score, and finally were forced to relinquish the attack through sheer ex-" haustlon. The Russian losses In the battle were more than 1000, while the Japanese lost more than In any previous battle of tho war. The fighting was, however, costly In the extreme to the Russians, who, in addition to the loss of badly needed mem bers of tho garrison, were compelled to draw heavily upon their reserve supply of ammunition. "When the engagement ended both armies were exhausted and glad of a suspension of hostilities. Japanese Outposts Driven In. SINTSINTSIN (Slxty-slx Miles East of Mukden), Manchuria, Aug. 8 (De layed.)
