HUNTING JAPS RUSSIAN FLEET LEAVES , PORT ARTHUR ON MYS ' .TERIOUS ERRAND. k - , ; Sailed Under Sealed Orders Belie ved to be in Quest of Japanese Squadron Strained Rela tions Possible Between Russia and U. S. ' Tien Tain, Feb. 17. A telegram from Port Arthur states that the Russian fleet sailed today from Port Aithur UDder . scaled 'order?. The receipt of this message created a profound eeimation here, as it is genera'ljr conreJel'tb.e Russian com manders. have found Ibat they were in great danger from their own de fenses, and unable moreover, to combat the afacks of the Japanese torpedo-boat destroyer. which, drawing in close to shore, under the cover of night, continued to harass the Russian flmt Russia will now, it is believed, try to 6trike a t Uing blow a', the Japanese fleet with the retrinint of her Port Arthur cqualrin. It i bel:eved the objective poi.-t is the Elliott Island g-oup, whare t le Jp aneee gqnadron U said to b- gth ering in farce. The Russians wi'l atta k without delay, it is believed, as nothing can be giinfd by wa;t iog longer. As the Rufin craft are reported in good cordi i n.tliey mav strike a very powerful blow. The RuFsian conomander bai been using the vessels of the trans port fleet as scout-ships, and it is thought he has secured important information recently from this souJce. One repnrt current bfre is that the Japanese commander-in-chief detached some of his rnoct ef fective vessels and started them northward to destroy the Siberian fleet irom Vladivostok. If this is ' so, the Russian admiral has 'proba bly decided to take advantage of the weakened state of the Japanese squadron and endeavor tj etrike a blow that will change the balance of naval power in Corean wa'er. Washington, Feb. 17. It is said Secretary Hay has received depend able, although unofficial informa tion, that Russia is preparing to re taliate against the United S. area for what is considered to be the open friendship manifested for Japan. This may not go further than com mercial discrimination, but there are indications that relations be tween the United States and Russia may become severely strained be fore the far eastern war is terminat ed. Much irritation is felt at St. Pe tersburg, according to the informa tion said tu have been received. The first method iia which it will be formerly displayed, it advices prove authentic, will bo barring of the American consuls recently ac credited to Dalny, Mukden and An tung. These ports were recently proclaimed by China as open to trade. When the consuls reach these places exequarteurs will be refused and no recognition wili be given them. What action this gov ernment will tike in such an event has not yet been determinf d. The making of Wiju s free port by Corea, as announced today by Minister Allen from Seoul is believ ed to have resulted from representa tions made by Japan, and is ex pected still further to irritate the Russian government. It was ap prehension that Russia might not receive the consul to Antung that influenced Secretary Hay to seek the opening of Wiju, which is di rectly across the Yalu river from Antung. Consul Miller is looking alter Japanese interests at Niii Schwang. A number of Japauese women is reported to have been outraged by Russians and the possibility of se rious trouble over this matter is ad mitted by the state department. Mr. Miller's instructions are not to recognize Russian authority at Niu Schwang as superior to that of any other power. This has led ta con siderable dissention in the past and will prove rrore irritating in the future, as Russia is supposed to have occupied the latter part. Niu Schwang is recognized by the United States as belonging to China. The gunboat Vicksburg is at that port. She carries I70 blue jackets and 40 marioee, wb ran be landed to protect Consul Miller if trouble arises. London Feb. 16. There is great suffering among the Russian troops in Siberia, where 50 degrees below zero is reported. The Czar is said to be ill on account of the constant strain and eeemiog lack of military and naval ability of his men. The report has juEt reached here that three Russian warships have been captured but it is unconfirmed and contradictory reports are keeping newspaper men studying. WANTS FARMERS TO W RITE. Their Congressmen and Urge the Pass ;? 'age oi the Good Roads Bill. Editor Times: As I have seen nothing in the papers for a long time on the soq ject of good roads.' please allow me to set the ball rolling by contribut ing a few thoughts on the subject caused by reading a copy . of - the Brownlow bill now pending in con gress. To build and maintain good roads costs more thanN the average farmer is able or -willing to pay, hencHhe only solution in my opin ion 1 to. ask for government aid. There is no more reaon why the government should not appropriate some of its surplus millions to the building of good roads than to ap propriate it for the improvement of rivers and harbors. If appropriat ed for the building of good roads it would benefit the farmers more directly and to a much greater de gree than if spent for improvement of rivers and harbors. If the mat ter were left to a vote of the farm ers as to which an appropriation should be For, rivers and harbors or good roads, there is not a question of doubt but that good roads would carry ten to one. This being the case, let me ask, why is it we Jiave not had govern ment aid long ago? In my opinion it is became the farmers as a . class are not in close enough touch with their representation in congress and do not let their wants be known. Two years- ago a bill was introd uced in congress by Hon. J. Oley of Virginia, providing for an appro priation of $100,000,000 for build ing good roads, but it failed td pass simply because the farmers of ' the United States did not push it: ' The. present bill now pending in congress introduced by Hon. W. P. Brownlow provides tor an appro priation of 24, 000, 000 to be dis tributed among the states and ter ritories according to population. A much more equitable distribution in mv ludetnent would be on a basis of the mileage of country roads,' and I would like to see ' the bill so amended, but at the same time I would not like to seethepas' sage of the bill endangered on ac count ot this amendment. It is a move in the right direction and all that is necessary to have the bill pass, is for the farmers of the Unit ed States to make their wants known. Jet every farmer consid er himself a committee of one to write to his congressmen asking them to vote for the Brpwnlow bill. If this is done it will leave no un certain effect in their minds as to the wishes of their constituents, v - In conclusion, ! wish to say that I have about a hundred copies of the Brownlow bill for distribution, and all farmers who feel interested may have a copy of the bill by call ine at my feed barn, in north end of Corvillis. Yours for good roads, C. D. Abbott. London, Feb. 18. Dispatches published in London newspapers this morniDe continue to give de scriptions of the embarking of Jap anese troops, instead ot . tnis em barkation occurring secretly from Uiina, as was tbn case during the Cbina-Japanese Wac, the transports according to dispatches published in the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail, are openly embarking troops from Nagasaki, Moji, Kobe, and elsewhere. A cablegram to the Daily Tele graph from Nagasaki says troops are clearing every night from those ports for Corea, and ten large steam ers were embarsiog troapB irom T..AAnnli l.a Unn.D All QVmff of the service were represented, but; the cavalry horses were euch sorry and scrubby ponies that they seem ed hardly worth transportatioa. The embarkations are all remarka bly, well managed. Numerous small armaos (little harbor boats'), a-i well as ordinary boats suitable for being used, are towed into shal low water or through a heavy surf, and taken on transports. In con clusion, this correspondent 6ays tbe harbor of Nagasaki has been mined. Cabling from Shanghai under date of February 17, a correspond ent of the Daily Telegraph declares that a combine movement of a Jap anese fleet and a large landing forca from Nagasaki is now proceeding. The reports that the Japanese have captured the East Asiatic Company's steamer Manchuria,, as well as the Siberian Railwaj steam er, are confirmed. For Sale.

Cie FKOM LOWLY SOURCE V Humble Occupations of Some Rich ffew Yorkers' Forbears. IateraatlBS Llsht Throw the Foudatlsu of Ijarge Klrtwwi of FrewBt ArftoenU by smn Ol City rectory. Death as a Reveler is not in the" same class witfi an old directory. The. wonder is if on the shelves of the mighty of , Manhattan island there is a copy of a little book which has just found its way to Chi cago. In these days when those in high places seek the assistance of the librarian .of congress to get a tight and exclusive grip on their names, it would seem to the humbler persons that a perusal of the pages of this little directory of New York of the year 1822 should ' teach s pricesless' lesson of humility, the Chicago Evening Post. says It was in an old book shop in New York that John C. King, of Chicago, 1 brought to light the volume in which are. found the names and the occu pations of the dwellers in the me- tropolis before the last century had turned its first quarter, What an opportunity is here given for those who wish to look back to the rock whence they were hewn and the pit from "whence they were digged.. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, the eld er, has invoked the aid of the law to make her Mrs. Vanderbilt., She ' will have none of the Cornelius end ' of it. The shade of the original Cornelius doubtless will look disap-'r provingly on this action of its great-' granddaughter-in-law. The original Cornelius was proud of his name ' both ends of it. He asked permis-l sion of the city of New York to ' paint it in full and in large letters' so that his fellow-citizens . might read it. Permission was granted, and the father of all the Vander bilts proudly wrote on each "side of his wagon this legend: . Cornelius Vanderbilt, .licensed cart man. .... Cornelius has a place with his brother and cousin Vanderbilts on page 452 -ot this old-time register of Manhattan citizens. Like Cor nelius, the cartman, the three Ja cobs and the three Johns of the Vanderbilt family found - no good reason for hiding their names and their professions from an inquiring world. As good craftsmen should. they believed in banging their signs on the outer walls, and thus thev re-' spwtively appeared: Blacksmith, painter, shoemaker, carpenter, sex-' ton. grocer. j Wild animal life was abundant'mthe United States in 1822. There was no ' nevessity then for the ejristance of pro- teeuve societies for four-fooled game. The members of the Astor family should adopt some furred forest crea ture as their crest, fbr a glance at the ancient volume in hand show's that three Astors of that year were en gaged in skin sales, or, to put it more elegantly, the sale of skins in New lonso' Se-ti m 1 of Aitlele IV of the Constltti Y , j tjon of the State of Oregon, and regulating e 3 nrn city.

Februaiy 24th, 1903, the State Prohibition Al. directory of the city of New York 80 lUuce duly filed In his offlce on February 5. years ago, is tobe complimented on the general appearance of the letterpress. IIo apparently, however, allowed one 1 v-ogranhical error to creep into his w- -k. Everybody who keeps in touch v:H the throbbingly interesting do iv. ofthe, New Yorkers of this date l--ws that the favorite Christian i e of the Lorillard family isjPierre. T -t name is the pride of the Loril "'!s. It is said that the' directory ii- ' allowed the original Lorillard to p." into the book as plain Peter. The Vim-iness sagacity of the Lorillards iu-ver has been questioned. They al 'vs have been, as it were, "up to sn-iff." "Tobacconist, 44 Chatham street." appears after the name "of Peter Lorillard in this record of four score years ago. '' But there are other names in this book of the olden time. Good old ' Peter Cooper is set down as a mason, living in Bedford street. Aaron Burr, counselor, had an office at 41 Nassau street, which is still a lawyers' loca tion and his house was at 22 Reed street. Not far from Burr was situa ted the office of the son of Alexander Hamilton, whom Burr had killed -at Weehawken 19 years before. The Koosevelts. the Goelets, the DePey sters. the Stnyvesants. the Kermits, the Kips and the Schuylershave places nn the di-eotrvrir nncTae v,t :,i on tne ui. ectory pages, but, curiously enough, there is only one Vanrens- selaer. Newfoundland is probably the only country in the world where venison, salted -or fresh, is a staple article of diet for the masses. - The coast folk make their plans with method and de liberation.; says Outing. From the har bors where they reside they go in th eir boats to the rivers and fords which strike into the interior. Whennaviga tion is no longer possible they debark and continue on foot to the deer coun try. They carry barrels filled with salt arid sometimes' go in large companies. When the rendezvous is r.eached they camp. Then they ambush themselves along a promising "lead" or deer track, armed with a iong.six-footmuzzle-load-ing sealing" guns, which they charge with about "eight fingers" of coarse gunpowder and "slugs" of lead, frag ments ef iron or bits of rusty nails, whichever they may have. They fire point blank into a herd of caribou, as it passes, and being usually good shots, contrive to kill almost anything' they aim at, or to wound it so badly with these dreadful missiles that it sooncol lapses. Then they skin and cut up the meat, for these men know a little of every trade, .end pack it in the barrels with the sal?s a preservative. HAPOLEOS'S MAGIC TABLE. ') Wndertil Piece at Kirattin Wkisfc Wms the Pride of the Preach; .. Bmoeror. " .1 Napolean's magic table is one of the greatest curiosities from the time of the great emperor, who had it in his study at the castle, of St. Cloud. After the death of Napoleon it was bought in London by Baron Behau sen, Swedish ambassador to the court' of St. James at that time-.-. Itis now owned through Inheritance by one of the foremost families of the Swed ish nobility, says the Strand Maga zine. Inside the drawer of the table is pasted an old slip on which is', printed a description, which in mod-j-ernized English reads as follows: "The' Emperor Napoleon -was highly. de-J lighted with this extraordinary work' of art. It formed the surface of one! , XD taWeS stu.dJ'. and was - a shown to. a" 'perf f court. It is a painting whose resem blance to what it represents is the most elusive ever produced by. the genius of man. One may look at this strange production of art in differ- I ent lights the pieces of -money, the fragments of broken glass, the pen knife, water and cards retain an equally illusive appearance as the ob server moves round the table-r-but it requires a very minute examination to discover all the truly magical won L ders "t possesses." In- these' times.. ; when relics of Napoleon I. are eager i ly sought for, the present" where abouts of this masterpiece' should cer tainly interest all connoisseurs. HOVEL PRISON REFORM. Italy Propoaea Compensation for Hen Who Have Been Unjustly Condemned. A new' criminal bill is about to be discussed in Italy, and it is- thought in Rome that it will be passed. It proposes to. concede to those found J to have been unjustly condemned to prison an indemnity, , to be decided upon by the courts, says a repor t to the Chicago Tribune. If the person has been in prison through a real judicial error the indem nity will in some way correspond to the financial loss Which he and his family have sustained, while if he has been condemned through the bad f$ith of a third person, through false testi mony (for which, of course, the court which condemned' him is not respon sible), the indemnity will be less, but at leasthe will have the wherewithal to began life anew. 11 has been proposed to indemnify those living when the law passes who have already-een released from un- Jnerited condemnations, or the families those who have died while undergo- ln "nj sentence.
