London, July 27. specials to the London morning papers confirm, the news of active operations at . the seat of war. The Telecraph:s Chefoo cor respondent, under date of July" 23, says: "A junk from Dalny - reports - that last night a Japanese fleet of 20 war ships and 20 torpedo boats bombarded Hwangshin for three hours, and the forts replied." The same correspondent learns that the Japanese first army is being largely reinforced by veterans from the re serves. The correspondent of the Stan dard with the Japanese army, under date of July 24 says : "It is difficult to understand the in tentions of the Russians. Kuropatkin is evidently bent on a retreat north ward, yet he lingers in the south, at tracted apparently by Port Arthur." The correspondent of the Chronicle, in a dispatch dated at Mo Tien Pass, July 23, regards General Kuropatkin i outmaneuvered and anxious to abandon Liao Yang without fighting, but also reluctant to retire while Port Arthur remains uncaptured. The Chronicle's Yinkow correspond ent reports that there was heavy fight ing Satnrday and Sunday in the neigh borhood of Ta Tche Kiao with General Stakelberg's force, consisting of 20 bat talions of infantry, a brigade of artil lery and a division of Cossacks.. RAIDS TO CEASE. Protests of Britain and Germany Heeded by Russia. St. Petersburg, July 27. Grand Duke Alexis presided at yesterday's council, which Count Lamsd'orf, the foreign secretary, and Vice Admiral Avellan, chief of the admiralty depart ment, and other high naval officials at tended. The result of the conference removes all doubts concerning the present atti tude of Russia with regard to the vol- unteei fleet. The validity of the view expressed in the British note regarding the irregularity of the position of the vessels was so far admitted that the council agreed to waive the right of search-. After a long discussion, in which Count Lamsdorff took a leading part, it was decided that the present status of the volunteer fleet was not sufficient ly well defined according -to interna tional law to render further searches and seizures advisable and that there fore Russia, in the interests of friendly relations with the powers should with draw the author it j given the volunteer fleet in this respect. GREAT BRITAIN PACIFIED. Settlement of Red Sea Seizures Satisfactorily Arranged. St. Petersburg, July 27. The Asso ciated Press is able to state on the highest authority that the Russian and British governmentts have agreed on a mutually satisfactory basis for a settle ment of the question of the status of Russian volunteer fleet steamers in the Red sea and the seizures by them of British ships. A few minor points still r amain unsettled, but these will probably be cleared up tomorrow, and it is not expected that further corn pi - cations will arise. Great credit for the satisfactory term ination of this incident is due Foreign Secretary Lamsdoif, who, it is ad m it ted, acted in the calm and concilia tory spirit worthy of a great statesman The attitude of Sir Charles Hardinge, the British ambassador, both 'or .mod eration and dignity, also evokes praise. Sink Prize Ship. Yokohama, July 27. The Vladivo stok squadron yesterday sank the steamer . Knight Commander, from New York, off the province of Izu, af ter transferring the crew of the Knight Commander to the steamer Tsman, which arrived here this morning. The Vladivostok squadron also captured a German vessel believed to be the Ara bia, with 300 tons ot flour, and an un known British steamer. The two ves sels were sent to Vladivostok in charge of prize crews. The American Trading company is the agent for the Knight Commander. Boys Turn Bandits. Chicago; July 27. Emulators of the exploits of the carbarn bandits, four youths arrested yesterday, confessed to killing one man in a saloon and hold ing up and robbing a ecore of others at different times. The murder was that of John Lane, stage carpenter of the Il linois theater, who was shot in an at tempt to hold up Gustav Riegel's sa loon on the morning of July 4. ihe proprietor also was shot. .The prison ers are PeterJ)ulfer, James and Wil liam Farmby and David Kelley. All are less than 20 years old. Japanese Government Silent. Tokio, July 27. The passage of the Dardanelles by the Russian volunteer fleet steamers, the seizures of German mail and the capture in the Red sea by Russia of the Peninsular & Oriental steamer Malacca have attracted great atttention throughout Japan. The government is watching the situation keenly, but it has not given any form of expression to its views or indica tion that it will take any action in the matter. Let Supreme Court Arbitrate. Panama, July 27. The Star and Heradl, in an editorial article proposes that the differences pending between the Panama government and that of the Panamaa cenal zone be submitted for decision to the supreme court of the United States. The idea is well re ceived in all circles here. JAPSSEEGAUSE Russia Believed to Be Ready to End the War. LOOKING FOR A GOOD EXCUSE Opinion Expressed in Japan That Action'of Czar's Fleet Will In tensify Unfriendliness. Tokio, July 27. The acts of the VladivostoK squadron in the Pacific and of the volunteer fleet in the Red sea strengthen the belief here that Rus sia is deliberately seeking to effect Amercia, England and Germany, in the hope of finding an avenue for retiring gracefully from a disastrous war. There is no argument over the right, of Russia to seize neutral vessels carrying actual contraband of war, but the wis dom of destroying neutral prizes with out trial, unless the subject is to in volve other powesr, is generally, ques tioned. It is believed that America will re fuse to recognize Russia's extended list of contraband and will speedily demand a limitation to articles reasonably con traband, in order to protect her large Oriental commercial interests. It is expected that Great Britain will protest against the sinking of the Knight Commander and demand trial for seized British steamers, and that Germany will make a second and more vigorous protest. The Vladviostok warships are hover ing about the course of the steamers from San Francisco, probably with the hope of overhauling the liner Korea Warning, however, has been given to the Korea and eh a has a chance of elud ing the Russians. There will probably "be other seiz ures, and whatever be. the determina tion of the legal questions involved, or whatever diplomatic action be taken, it is confidently believed, here that the seizures will create a feeling of intense irritation and unfriendliness against Russia in America, England and Ger many. Japan is anxious to localize the com bat and avoid involving other powers, but views with unfriendliness the acts of aggression against friendly neutrals and treaty violations disadvantageous to herself. In the latter connection Japan regards the affair of the passage of the volunteer fleet through the Dar danelles as of more importance than the acts of the vessels subsequent to such passage. BITTER EIGHT ON. Strike Has Become General in Chi cago Stockyards. Chicago, July 27. With all peace negotiations broken off and with all the allied trades unions employed at the different plants, with the exception of the teamsters -and stationary erjgin eere, out on strike m sympathy with the butcher workmen who quit work two weeks ago, the stock yards etrike tonight had settled down to what prom ises to be one of the bitterest fights be tween capital and labor in the history of America. As has been threatened for 'some time, the allied trades employed in the packing industry quit work when called on today to assist the striking butchers in their efforts to bring the packers to terms. In several instances the men did not wait for the official notification from their leaders to go on strike, but threw down their tools and quit work of their own volition. At 6 o'clock tonight the statement was made by M. J. Donnelly, president of the butchers' union, that every union man employed at the Btockyards, with the exception of the teamsters and engineers, had responded to orders for a general sypmathetic strike. The en- 1 1 . 1 . . . .1 " I .1 j gineers, ne aeciarea, wouia join tne strikers tomorrow moi ning, and, unless there was a speedy settlement of the difficulty, he said, the teamsters would undoubtedly join their brother work men in their struggle for supremacy. According to Mr. Donnel.y, today's strike swelled the number of men who have quit work at the stockyards in Chiago alone to nearly 03,000 persons War Insurance Is Advanced. London. July 27. Much anxiety ja felt here relative to certain ships now id Far Eastern waters, and it is be lieved the Russian Vladivostok fleet will capture several of them. As a re suit of this, insurance war risks have advanced 7 guineas per cent, which ' a few days ago were butilO shillings The Pritish steamer St.. Hubert, of 3064 tons, which is owned in Liver pool, is overdue a week at Yokohama and is almost certainty a Russian prize. Fears are, also expressed for the steamer Romford and several colliers. Lose in Brisk Skirmish. London, July 27. A dispatch to a news agency from Liao Yang reports heavy ai til lery fighting there all day yesterday. The Russian casualties, it is alleged, were thonght not to exceed 400, while the Japanese are said to have lost more men. The Japanese, who were attacking the "southern de tachment," according to the dispatch, were forced to retire precipitately, leav ing their dead and wounded on the field. - Move Out of Niu Chwang. Paris, July 27. -A dispatch to the Matin from Niu Chwang says that heavy filing continued all day long July 24. The battle lasted for 16 hour. The Russians were driven back on the east side and were reported to be utterly routed on the north. The dispatch says the Russians evacuated Niu Chwang. of which the Japanese will probably take possession on July 26. (.EARNERS TO AID. Eastern Oregon Lands May Yet Be Irrigated.. Washington, July 26. It now ap pears that the Malheur irrigation proj ect in Eastern Oregon will become a reality, and riot have to be abandoned, as was feared. Advices were received by Chief Engineer Newell, of the re clamation service, today to the effect that the farmers living along Malheur river have aroused themselves and in tend, to submit to tne government their written promise to co-operate with the government .in constructing this irrigaion work. Mr. Newell's crit icism of these farmers, expressed through these dispatches a short time ago, and his threat to remove his en gineers from Malheur country unless the farmers acted on his suggestion. has had the desired effect, and the lo cal engineers are now convinced that before long the farmers alongthe Mal heaur river will comply with the gov ernment's requirements. If farmers co-operate, they will have to pay but 53 per acre per year for 40 years, in order to get water from the govern ment reservoirs onto their lands, and at the end of that time the entire works will be turned oyer to the users of the water. The government will mere ly retain control of the work of con struction until the cost has been re paid by settlers who are benefitted. Work along the Malheur river is in such 'shape that as soon as the farm ers owning lands within the proposed irrigation area pledge themselves to pay the required amount, the govern ment will be ready to make final sur veys and plans preparatory to letting contracts. In the eyes of the engin eers this project is no longer ques tionable, but one that promises com plete success. It remains with the farmers to say when work shall commence. It is ex plained in this connection that the government will not accept a partial promise of co-operation, or promises from only a part of the farmers within the irrigation district. Every man who will be benefitted by this work must pledge himself to contribute his share of the cost before the govern ment will adopt the project. The government today advertised for bids for 14,000 barrels of Portland cement to be used on the Minodoka irrigation project in Southern Idaho. Bids will be received by Engineer D. W. Ross, at Boise, until August 25. LARGE SHIPS TAKING NO RISKS. Japanese Holding Them Back for the Pinal Blow at Port Arthur. On Board the Mikasa. Admiral Togo's flagship, off Port Arthur, July 20, via Fusan, Corea, July 26. In re ply to addresses made to him by the newspaper correspondents who are on board the steamer Manchuria, Admir al Togo said, modestly, that he felt complimented to learn that the world was interested in his victories, and it was his desiret through the press, to send his thanks to those persons who admire him. The Japanese naval policy is to hold their larger warships in reserve until the time comes to deliver a crushing blow at Port Arthur. In the mean time," torpedoboats ai-e to make con stant and harassing attacks. Every night the Japanese lay mines at the harbor entrance. The entrance to the port is now clear. The steamer Manchuria is making a tour of the theatre of war with mem bers of the Japanese Diet, foreign at taches and newspaper correspondents on board. OFFICERS ARE DEFIED. Bonesteel, South Dakota, Has Reign of Terror With Land Rush. Bonesteel, S. D., July 25. Excite ment is running high in Bonesteel to night, brought about by the rescue of an arrested gambler, who was taken from the hands of the police by a dozen or 15 of his friends and rushed down the main street of the town and se creted. The gambler was arrested and was be. ng escorted to the police station when, suddenly, at the word of a leader, a crowd of cappers and friends of the prisoner made a dash for the po liceman having him in charge Seiz ing grasp of the officer, who drew his revolver and struck one of the attack ing party a blow in the face, cutting him quite Beverly, and then fired two shots into the air, hoping to bring the rescuing party to a halt, the attacking party surrounded the prisoner and sue ceeded in getting him away- The city authorities -immediately be gan swearing in extra policemen and have expressed the determination to enforce the law at any cost. Probable Action of Russia. St. Petersburg, July 26. While not admitting the illegality of the action of the Russians in converting vessels of the volunteer fleet into warships af ter they had reached the Red sea, it is probable, in view of the fact that neu tral ships did not receive previous notice, that Russia, in order to remove the shadow of a cloud upon their right to fly the war flag, will formally notify the powers of their conversion into warships, thus putting all neu trals upon their guards. In the mean time, all the ships seized will be re leased. - To Call Troops In. Denver, July 26. The Republican to day says: Before the end of the pres ent week there will be no military rule in the state of Colorado. The troops in Teller, San Miguel and Las Animas counties will be withdrawn, and the administration of affairs In these counties left to the civil author ities. The withdrawal of the troops will also bring about the dissolution of the military commission now in existence hvthe Cripple Creek district- Steamers Eqnipped as Cruisers. Hamburg, July 26. It is said that the North German Lloyd, steamer Kaiserin Marie Theresa and four Hamburg-American liners recently purchased by Russia have left Libau, on the Baltic, under sealed orders, fully armed and equipped as cruisers. OREGON NEWS OP INTEREST SHEEP SWARMING IN. Thousands are Being Moved Onto Cascade Forest- Reserve. - Salem The news has reached this city to the effect that the country in the neighborhood of Breitenbueh, in the western part of the Cascade forest reserve, ia threatened with devastation of vegetation by reason of the encroach ment of the Eastern Oregon sheepmen, with their enormous flocks of sheep. Already hundreds of sheep are - to be seen in the vicinity of Detroit, . and, it is said, there will be no lees than 12,- 000 head in that part of the reserve be fore the grazing season closes. There is a quetsion of whether the grazing permits contemplate the en croachment upon this territory, and the settleis in that section are vigor ously protesting against it. . Hon. John Minto has returned from a visit to Minto pass through the Cas cades, and reports '".he encroachments of Eastern Oregon sheepmen on the western part of the forest reserve are alarming the people of that part of the country. Minto said that be tween Warms Springs and Detroit, a distance of 16 miles, he passed through six miles of sheep, 1,700 in number. Minto considers it an outrage, as he does not think the sheepmen have the rights so far west as they are coming, but they claim they have a stretch two townships wide there, and will bring 12,000 sheep into the district. Summer outers and others there are worried, thinking the sheep will de stroy all pleasure, and also the oppor tunity for keeping domestic animals SCHOOL ALL THE YEAR. Change Under Contemplation at Ore gon Agricultural College. Corvallis The faculty of the Ore gon Agriculutral college has been in structed to prepare a" plan for a con tin uous school at the college, and to re port the same for the consideration of the board of regents' at the annual meeting next July. The action was taken at the last meeting of the board The proposal for the continuous col lege session is an innovation on the coast, but is much in vogue among larger institutions in the East. The college year closes about June 12, ordi narily, and opens about September 20 There are those who believe that many students, were a fourth term added to the year, would continue in attendance, enabling them to gain a year in - taking the college course. Steps taken so far are only preliminary, and future action by the board is necessary to determine whether or not the plan will be finally inaugurated. To Fit Up Smelter. " tirants .Fass There now' stand on the Southern Pacific tracks at Grants Pass three carloads of machinery, furn ace, stacks, ore cars, lathe, drillpress, etc., for the 100-ton smelter being in stalled at Takilma by the Takilma Smelting company,. and there are two carloads of machinery and supplies yet to arrive. Tuese cai-s were shipped some time ago, and should arrive with in the next few days. The plant is to be located on the K1 1 Unking - place. below the Waldo and Queen of Bronze mines, 45 miles from Grants Pass. Good Road Building Material. ' Eugene J. H. Dodge has arrived here from Cleveland, O.,' being sent here to superintend the work of build ing a sample piece of road on approved scientific plans, as a demonstration of the possibilities of good road building in this section. Samples of available materials have been sent East and have been examined by Mr. Dodge, and it is his assertion that the n a erials here available are as good as can be found anywhere in the world. F Quartzville Prospects are Good. Albany W. B. Lawler and Arthur L. Pease, the New York mining experts, have returned from the Quartzville mines. Mr. Pease expressed himself as even better pleased with the mining property than on his first visit. This was made several years ago and result ed in an- expenditure of. considerable money in development. Active work is expected in the Quartzville district soon. Indian Institute at Newport. Salem The prorgam for the annual Pacific coast institute, which is held at Newport, Or., each year, has been is sued for this year, and is very elaborate in character. The 1904 session will be held August 22 to 27. The program will be under the supervision of Super intendent of Indian Schools Miss Es- telle Reed, and Superintendent of In dian Schools M. F. Holland. Wallowa County's First Fair. Enterprise The first annual fair of the Wallowa county fair association will be held in this city during the first week in October. The primary object in holding the fair this fall ia to secure an exhibit of Wallowa county's resources for the Lewis and Clark ex poistion next year.- A pioneer's asso ciation will also be organized during the fair. Road Building Recommended. Eugene Judge Chrisman and . Com missioners Edwards and Price have re turned from Blue river, . where they have been inspecting the wagon roads with a view to their improvements They find the camp flourishing, and will authorize expenditure of funds for the betterment of roads in a ju dicious manner. HOP CROP WILL BE GOOD.' Linn County Growers See No Lice,. - but .Spray Nevertheless. Eugene The spraying of hops in this county is now in progress, and in some yards is completed, and nothing: . now remains but for the hops to form and ripen. There are no evidences of lice of any consequence, but the grow ers will spray just the same as if there- were millions, for they know full well . how little time it takes for them to - make their appeaarnce and ruin a crop, just as it is about ready to be harvested. - Reports regarding tbe probable yield indicate that the crop will not be quite-. so heavy, as last year in most of the yards, the dry weather having a ten-" dency to cut short the yield, even! though in most cases the vines have lemaihed perfectly green -and iresh. The growth seems not to have been so strong aa usual. The total output of the county, however, now promises to be greater than a year ago, or on any former year, the acreage being greater than ever before. If everything goe well from now until picking time, even, though there should be no moie rain, it is safe to say this' county will turn out more than an average crop of hops. Crops About Junction City. Junction City Haying is nearly fin ished in this locality. The price of this product has been higher this sea son than usual, farmers realizing from, $8 to $12 per ton, not baled. Har vett ing is progressing rapidly, and thresh ing will begin in two weeks. Grain will make a better crop than was ex pected, as the heads are well filled and. the grains plump. While the stand is not so thick as usual, the yield will fall but little below thn average. Prunes -are almost a failure in Northern Lane and Southern Benton counties. Some prune orchards, in fact, have? been grubbed up there. Work on Fishladder Resumed. Oregon City Contractor E. P. Randa has resumed work on the fishladder that is to be installed at Willamette Falls in this city, and for which the last session of the legislature made an appropriation of $5,000 A suit, brought against the contractor by in terested fishermen to recover $50,000 damages and to enjoin the constructions of the ladder, was recently decided in. favor of the state's intereets by the cir cuit court. The construction of this: improvement in the river will be com pleted this summerT Goes to Buy Larger Mills. Eugene Scott Standish came down; from Blue river and has gone to San, Fiancisco to buy a new mill for the Great Northern mine. The addition of this mill will increape the output from 20 to 30 per cent, biinging the? output up to $10,000 or more e month. The owners of this property will also build a tramway this fall to convey the ore from the 'mine to the mill, and will he prepared to operate the mill all winter. PORTLAND MARKETS.
