No Demand For Rcdrtai Will Be Mape
la Pirdlcarli' Case.
Washington, June 28. The itate de
partment doea not contemplate any re
clamation! upon the Moorish itovern
merit on account of the Perdicarii inci
dent. In ita view that trie government
haa suffered severely, both from a
financial point of view and in national
humiliation, through ita compliance
with the demand of the use of force, by
appearing to the powerful influence! of
the Hhereefs Mouley Ali and Mouley
Ahmed, who headed the escort sent to
bring the prisoners to Tangier. More
over, France practically furnished the
money from which tbe ranaorn was
paid, as the recent French loan of $12,
600,000 gave tho sultan tbe means to
meet Raiiuli'i demand for $70,000
ransom.
The Ritiiuli incident la going to have
an important effect on the adoption of
a firm French policy toward Morocco.
The correspondent of the Associated
rrcs lenriis that de Unite sU-ps have
alrciwly been taken to inaugurate
French authority. M. IH-Icame haa ae-
lected M. Knindre, the ex-French rep-
r nerilHtive at (ieneva, to take up the
orgarii.ation of the Moroccan cmtonii
at the porta, including Tangier. The
recent French loan to Morocco ia guar
anteed by the cimtouii itieipU. There
fore, M. Itaindre w ill overeee the cui
loms administration. He ia now or-
agnizing a large staff. The next step
will be the organization of irencb po
lice or gendarmerie at Tangier.
It aptieari by all accounts, including
that of I'eidicaiis himself, as set down
in his letters, that he did not suffer
undue hardship; that he was treated
with kindness and consideration by
Kaisuli and that he lias no ill-feeling
toward that, to him, agreeable bandit.
No sullicient reasou exists why any fur
ther demands should be made upon the
sultan of Morocco either for indemnity
or the punishment of the kidnapers.
If the sultan chooses to take vengeance
upon Ruisuli, that ia his own affair.
PLANNED A DASH.
Japaocae Struck Russian Fleet la tb
Nick of Tim..
Tokio, June 28. Admiral Togo, re
porting further on his luecesa at Port
Arthur, says his patrol boat discovered
the battleship Peresviet and leven other
vessels, accompanied by nine torpedo
boat destroyers, near the entrance to
Port Arthur harbor. The patrol boat
warned him wirelessly, and he imme
diately advanced his entire fleet, except
those engaged upon special duty.
The admiral then discovered that
the Runaian fleet consisted of six battle
ships, five cruisers and 14 destroyers,
the commander having evidently plan
nod a dash by sundown.
The Russians stopped outside the en
trance to the harbor, and after night
fall a fleet of Japanese torpedo boat de
stroyers resolutely attacked the Rua
sian ships, and succeeded in torpedoing
and sinking a battleship of the 1'eree
viet type, and disabled the battleship
Sevastopol.
A ciutscr ol the Diana type waa or
served burning. It was towed into the
harbor and it was evident she sustain
ed serious damage. The torpedo boat
destrovcr Shiiakumo was hit by a
shell, which fell in the cabin, killing
three men and wounding three others.
The Chidori, a vessel of tbe same class,
was hit behind the engine room, but
no casualties resulted therefrom. Tor
pedo boats 64 and Oil were slightly
damaged.

Fears Cholera May Spread to America.
Washington, June 28. Vice Consul
John Tyler, at Teheran, has notified
the state department that there are 260
cases of cholera at Sultanabad, which
is the principal center of the Persian
carpet trade with America. The con.
sul has warned agents not to make ship

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
POWER FROM WATER WORKS.
Morgaa Lake Will farve Double Parpoaa
at La Orande.
La Grande The Morgan take water
power scheme, which ii situated three
milea south of La Grande, on the euro
rnlt of tbe Blue monuatins, and which
is being constructed by tbe La Grande
water storage company, has been prac
tically completed, by which the stor
age company will furnish tbe city of
f a Grande 76,000,000 gallons of water
per month for distribution through the
city water main. Tbe elevation of tbe
lake above the city of La Grande is 1,-
460 feet, in a distance of three milea.
A lake 120 acres in extent and now 12
feet deep has been formed, with a pos
sibility of increasing tbe depth to 30
feet by building a few hundred feet of
levee. Kurveyi have been made for
11,175 feet of pipe line, leading to the
La Grande city reservoir. Steel pipe
two feet in diameter will bo used to
conduct the water down tiie mountain
canyon to the power plant about one
mile from the lake, where 1,000 horse
power will lie developed at first, with
the poasibilitty of increasing the power
to 10,000 horsepower when needed.
Railroad Asks for Terminus.
The Dalles At the instance of aev
era! business men and property ownera
of this city a meeting was held last
week to o.i!er the feasibility if
bringing tbe line of the Great Southern
railway into this cily, together with
tbe cost of right of way and terminal
grounds for the same. The lemtst of
the Great Southern officials was for
three city blocks situated in the ex
treme east end of the town for depot
grounds, and a right of way from tbe
mouth of Five Mile creek, where the
line has been surveyed, to the city. It
is understood that the right of way
and this terminal site asked for can be
bad for $6,600. A committee waa ap
poiontcd to canvas the city to acquire
the necessary funds to acquire this
property.
Removal of Land Otllca.
Oregon City A remonstrance
against tbe pioposed removal of the
land office from Oregon City to Port
land, and addressed to the president
and secretary of the interior, has been
circulated among the business men and
citizen! here. Tbe remonstrance cites
the fact that this ia known as the
Oregon City land district, that Oregon
City is centrally located with reference
to the district, being accessible by rati
and boat ; that there is no demand on
the part of settler! or the people at
large for the removal of the office.
Qrasaboppera In Oral a.
Pendleton Tbe army of (grasshoppers
struck tbe alkali wheat raising district,
about 20 miles southwest of this city,
a few days ago, and has wrought much
damage to grain. Monrad Fix is the
heaviest loser, grasshoppers having
eaten down 600 acres to such an extent
that the grain is scarcely fit for bay.
Other crops in that vicinity have been
more or less damaged. A viait of grass
hoppers in this county is nnusnal.
This is the first year the insects have
done any damage to grain.
Looking for Big Ran.
Astoria The salmon pack np to the
present time ia far from satisfactory,
but while the prospects for the balance
of the season are purely speculative,
there is every confidence that an im
mense rnn will come later. The pack
of the canned product ia full 25 per
cent abort of what it was at the corre
sponding time last year, and then the
season was considered a failure, but
tbe big run that came the latter part
of July brought the pack up to nearly
the average figures.
Valley Hops la Need of Rain.
Sa.em Fanners and hop growers in
this section of the Valley are very
much alarmed over the continuance of
the long dry spell, and say that great
and irreparable damage has already
been done. Farmers from the Waldo
hills and from Mission bottom said
that grain and hay will not yield more
than half ciops. Hop growers say that
the yield of hops has already been les
sened, and that, unless a good rain is
had next week, the loss will be consid
erable.
Qrant County 'a Heavy Frost.
Pendleton Severe damage was done
by frost in Grant county last week,
orchards in many ot the lootmll por
tions having nearly the entire crop cut
down. The frost lasted several succes
sive nights, and will materially re
duce the yield in peaches, pears, prunes
and other less hardy varieties. In the
John Day valley tbe leading fruit dis
trict of the county, the damage was sot
great. Vegetables and garden stuff
suffered severely also.
Spruce Lumber Ratea Postponed.
Astoria According to advices re
ceived from Chicago the reduced rates
on Eastern shipments of spruce lumber,
which were to go into effect on July 1,
will not become effective before July
15 and possibly not until the first of
August. The postponement ia under
stood to have been caused by a delay in
issuing the tariff sheets.
Harvest Begins.
Pendleton Wheat harvtst has com
menced in the Cold Springs country
north of Pendelton. Wheat matures
earlier in this lection than elsewhere.
Results so far are very satisfactory,
some grain going as high aa 40 bushels
to the acre.
STAMPEDE) TO OOLD FIND.
Ledge oa Thompson Crtik la Over 4,800
Fiat Long.
Medford A. L. Morris haa jnst re
turned from the strike of gold on the
headwaters of Thompson creek, near
Grayback mountain. He brought with
him over $75 io gold taken from the
ledge, which shows on tbe surface over
4,500 feet long. The Briggs boys have
taken oat 118,000 and have ai much
more in tight.
Most of the people going in leave
Medford and go by way of Jackson
ville, crossing the divide at the head
of W'illiama creek. This route is olny
60 miles from Medford. Hundreds of
people are leaving, and the town is in
great excitement. Claims are being
staked and placer locations filed.
H. E. King washed $100 from fonr
pans of placer dirt on his location 800
feet from the Briggs find. The ledge
is 460 feet on the Oregon side of tbe
Cal'fornia line.
A townsite has been located and
tents are being pitched. Not since the
days of Gold Hill or Steamboat Springs
has so much interest been manifested
in a gold dicsovrey. It is claimed that
the ledge is the same as the Kteamboat
strike, but tbe values are much Ligher
and the ledge larger.
Prize Products ol Po'k.
Dallas Polk county will be among
the first counties in Oregon to apply
for space in the big horticultural build
ing now in course of construction at
the Lewis and Clark exposition grounds
at Portland. Mrr, F. A. Wolfe, of Fa
City, has begun the preparation of an
exhibit that ia expected to take first
rank among tbe county displays at the
1906 fair. Mrs. Wolfe has bad charge
of all the prize-winning displays from
Polk county at the Oregon state fair
for many years past, and takes a great
interest in the work.
Road to Saatlam illace.
Salem With a view to opening a
read leading to the Quartiville mines,
the members of the Marion county
court will go over the ronte. The
Quartxville minei are about 16 miles
north of Gatea on the Corvallia dt East
ern railroad. A wagon road extends
about half tbe distance. Considerable
work is being done at the mines, bnt
all supplies and machinery must be
Uken in on horses. Machinery for a
sawmill and a quartz stamp waa trans
ported to tbe mines in that way.
Should Make Foil Exhibit.
Salem In answer to a question from
President Jefferson Myers, Attorney
General Craw lord baa rendered an opin
ion in which he holds that tbe Lewis
and Clark commission should make a
full and complete exhibit of the re
sources and products of the state. Tbe
occasion for this inquiry is not stated,
but seems to arise out of a difference of
opinion as to tbe proportion of the
money that should be expended on
buildings and exhibits.

MAY LEAD TO REBELLION.
Preaident Mover Saya Mlnera WOJ Re
sent Policy of BclL
Cripple Creek, Colo., June 25. In
reply to a telegram from the New York
World, Charles H. Moyer, president ol
the Western Federation of Miners,
who in now a prisoner in the county
jail here, sent an extended statement of
present conditions in the state from his
standpoint. Mr. Moyer said in part:
"The deportation of the anion men
and others, being in my opinion un
lawful, the Western Federation of
Miners will nse all lawful means to re
establish theii members in their
homes. No violence will be resorted
to, but such legal steps as may be nec
essary to bring about the desired re
sults will be taken at the proper time.
Pending such action, deported mem
bers and their families will be sup
ported by the federation.
"General Bell alleges that his policy .
has been successful, and that ether
states are expected to follow suit. If
this be true, then rebellion ia not im
probably, aa the great majority of tha
American people are today condemning
such a system, and, regardless of union
ism, would bitterly resist any attempt
to put the same into practice. 1 disa
gree with tbe general as to the labor
troubles being settled in Colorado,
but do believe they will be settled by
the ballot in the month of November."
Places Not to Be Had for Asking.
Washington, June 24. D. I. Murphy,
secretary of the Isthmian Canal com
mission, today gave out the following:
"Applications for places under the
commission have been filed by thous
ands, and are still pouring in. It
ought to be understood that no one not
possessing special qualification will be
appointed for tbe work of tbe com
mission. The work will be largely of
a technical character.
"Those applying for service on the
isthmus, in addition to the possession
of exceptional qualifications, must pasa
a rigid physical examination, under
the direction of the public health and
marine hospital service to test their fit
ness for service in the tropics.
' Probably not one in a hundred of
those applying have even a remote
chance of appointment."

cers and men. The reports of the Jap
