WILL RETIRE ROJESTVENSKY , London, May 25. A dispatch to the Times from St. Petersburg says that General Linievitch has demanded the recall of General Kuropatkin. The dispatch adds that Admiral Ro jestvensky has been Beriously ill for two weeks, according to reliable pri vate information received from Sai gon, and unable to command his fleet, this duty falling upon sub ordinate officers. Rojestvensky 's differ ences with the admiralty at St. Peters burg on a strateglo policy will make retention of his command -impossible even if he recovers from bis illness. This is so well known that it is having a depressing effect upon the people, who looked upon Rojestvensky as the one man who could possibly turn the tide of war in favor of Russia. As a consequence there is again general clamour for peace all over the country. RUSSIA WOULD BUT WARSHIPS. Marseilles, France, May 25. M.

GATHERING FAIR EXHIBITS. Sew Telephone System to Melrose and French Settlement. Eon. D. S. K. Buick and a Review representative drove out several miles down along the Umpqua river Wednes day, gathering samples of products for exhibition at the Lewis and Clark fair. A number of varieties of grasses and some fine barley were secured, besides other products. Most grains and many grasses are not yet far enough ad vanced for cutting as samples, al though the crops are looking fine and will make a splendid showing a few weeks later. Without exception the producers offered freely whatever they hod, for this purpose. The generous hospitality of Messrs Geo. and Thos. Scott and their vener able parents was enjoyed, and we there learned that the holes have been dug and the poles will be turned out in. a few days for a telephone system from Roseburg to the Wilson farm, beyond Melrose and north of the French Settle ment school house. From there a line will be extended to the farm of R. A. Woodruff. There are now fifteen subscribers on this line. A list of eight more in Flournoy valley are discussing the matter of extending aline there and this will probably be done at an early date.
