Sheriff Conhell was notified early lhiv morning, and tjae started in search; of ,the robbers. There is a general feeling here- that the job was not . done without Jocal aid,-5 as there are several characters ghere who jwould not besitata to help in robbery. The character of the work was about the same as that perpe- Oregon City, Or.',; Septus.

' ' , When the coroner's inquest - was resumed . this . morning there re mained to be taken only the testi mony of the Burgeons who made the autopsy, the testimony was to the effect that the woman's death, re sulted from four wounds that were produced by a 38-calibre revolver. At a minutes past 11) o'clock Lauth was led into the room by Sheriff J. R. Shaffer and Jailer Nff- hern. A short Et&tement was made bv J. M.

He seem ed nervous and his hands twitched as he held them together oa his lap. He walks with a limp, which is accounted for. as he had an acci dent when working in the sawmills at Aberdeen, Wash, which resulted in the amputation of his right leg just below the knee. He is also blind" in one eye, but the blindness would not be noticed unless it was looked for. When he was hurt in the mill he was unable to do work after that be took to gambling for a living. After the hearing, Lauth 'a hand was grasped by Woods as they part ed.

More than a score of women and children were rescued from a fire in a five-story tenement', house in Tenth avenue early today. The blazi started un der a "stairway on the second floor and spread quickly to the roof. - One woman was confined to her bed by illness, and the flames had reached her room wbenahreman stove in the window and carried her down the fire-escape. Her husband and children, who had remained in the flat, were carried - down exten sion ladders by the firemen. So quickly did the- flames spread through the tenement that the fam ilies living above the second floor had no time to gather clothing. Twelve lamiues occupied the sec. odd and third floors, and all had narrow escapes, losing everything they possessed. 1 he most -sensational rescue of the fire was when a mother and two children were taken from the ledge of a fourthf story window. It was made after a conspicuous - show- of bravery and resourcefulness on the part of two laddermen. The woman and children had been driven from their apartment by the flames, and were clinging to the ledge crying for help- when the firemen arrived on the scene. When a 35-foot lad der was thrown up against the side of the burning building it fell fonr feet short of the fourth-story win dow. There was no time to make a change, and the two men rushed practically departed of turning the .tide of the .war this year.. Patient- J jy and doggedly, jn spite of-Bueces- sive reverses by land and sea, Gen- ; eral Kuropatkin's friends had pinn ed their faith in his assurances that when he accepted battle victory: would crown Russian arms, but fail ing in hie attempt to turn the scale, they face another indefinite period of waiting. Kuropatkin must retire, await reinforcements and prepare for a new campaign next year.- But disappointed as they are and dis couraging as the situation is, - no word is heard in favor of making peace. , Russia will be Big Line Fresb Groceries . . Domestjc and Imported. Plain and Fancy Chinaware tragedy. For a number ot years little good has been known of the murdered woman and the prevail ing sentiment is that Lauth, who is a Keen, reasonably weu-eaucatea fellow, has had - the misfortune to become mixed up in bad company and was insanely fascinated. Deputy District Attorney Schue hel this afternoon, on complaint of J. M. Woods, father of the dead woman, filed a criminal informa tion charging Lauth with the crime of murder in the first degree. It is understood the accused will waive preliminary examination and in that event a trial of the case will not be had until the regular term of the circuit court, which will be convened in this city in November The murderer was visited at the county jail today by a number of Oregon City acquaintances.;- He remains noncommittal, and when advised by some of his callers to continue hopeiul, that he has many friends here, tbe youthful criminal scornfully commented, "Yes, but they will all desert me."" Balancing himself on the top rung while his companion fiimly grasped his legs from a more secure position below, the ladderman caught the children as the mother dropped them into his arms. Oth er hxemen bad taken- positions on the ladder, by this time, and the re scued ones were passed safely down from their dangerous position. BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.'

Safeblowers entered the postoffice in this city last night and took $320 in money ! and between $700 and $800 in 1 cent and 2. cent stamps. The rob bers entered the office through a rear window in the west end of the building and raised the window b boring a hole - through the sash and unfastening the safety lock. They then drilled the eafe, which was a more or less antiquated affair, betug a plate depository, and blew the door successfully. 1 be explosion was not heard by any one, although Dr. J. E. Adkioe, a dentist, occupies a room upstairs in the adjoining brick. Dr. Adkins, says he heard no unusual noise dur ing the night. The robbers made their exit through the rear door of the. office, turning back the night lock. Then they went to the south Dart of the town and stole a horse and vehicle out of the J. C.

Twenty years experience. victorious in the end; the war must continue, if not this year,: then the next: if nat the next, then the year after;" is the unvarying sentiment in St. Peters burg. , Military officers who are familiar with the skill, care and arduous la bor with which - the positions on both sides of the Taitz river were prepared at Liao Yang, consider that this historic battle will conse crate the flanking movement in military annals. Redoubled trench es, gunpits, entanglements, ditches, tunnels and every method of pro tection known to military engineer ing tkill proved useless against a single turning movement and mo bility. Strategy throughout the campaign baa vanquished fixed for tified positions and flanking opera tions again and again have forced the abandonment of the most elab orate entrenchments, sometimes without the firing of a Bhot. According to tbe best information from the front, both armies are now tired and resting after the exhaust ing days of fighting and marching. The general opinion is that the JaD anese will again push on as soon as the rains cease and the roads are dry. Meantime, General Kuropat kin, enioviog tbe advantage of the railroad has sent north his bag gage and the wounded and doubt less a portion of his troops. The prevailing idea is that General Ku ropatkin will not make a stand at Mukden if the Japanese come on again in earnest, but that he will retire at least to Tie Pass. Once through the pass, the general im presslon in military circles is that tbe Japanese will not attempt fur ther pursuit. Exceptional precaution has been taken to prevent the Japanese from cutting communications below the pass. Not exceeding two months remain for military operations this Fall, and- despite reports from Tbkio of a winter campaign, tbe most competent critics who are familiar with the rigors of tbe Mancbonafi winter do not think the Japanese will attempt it. Unless the unex pected happens, the withdrawal of Kuropatkin s army above lie rase, they believe, maiks tbe end of the campaign for this year, the Russians wintering at Harbin, with their rearguard at Tie Pass and the Japanese at Liao Yang, with their advance base at Mukden. . .

San Francisco, Sept. ,10. The protected cruiser, Milwaukee was launched today in the presence of thousands of 'spectators, including a distinguished delegation from the city in whose honor the vessel was named and a large number of Knights Templar from Wisconsin and other states who have been in San Francisco this week for the tri ennial conclave. . " " Long before the hour " appointed for the launching, the visitors crowd- , ed the yards of the Union Iron Works, the adjoining housetops and the hills. Many took places, of van tage hours before the vessel .slid from the ways, and they patiently waited before the ship entered the brine. Even then they w.ere loath to depart, many remaihingTor hours to watch the giant hultatJiiated. at anchor in the bay.

Brief addresses appropriate to the occasion were delivered in behalf of the city of Milwaukee, the city of -San Francisco, the United States navy and the Union Iron Works. Hardly bad the last of these been concluded than Miss Jeffries, at the bidding of her father, who is vice president of the Uion Iron Works, touched the button that freed the big ship. The massive structure re sponded to the touch of the button like a thing of life, and without the slightest jar, started down the ways. As it tiembled on the move Miss Mitchell broke the bottle of wine upon the prow, and in a clear, full voice, said: . "I christen tbe Milwaukee." Gaining speed every moment, the great hull glided rapidly down the ways into the water. Simultane ously the great crowd gave vent to a great" cheer, which was soon drowned in the din created by tbe booming of cannon and the blowing of whistles upon the countless craft in the bay. Th Milwaukee is a protected cruiser of 9,700 tons displacement, and is sister ship of the Charles ton and the St. Louis, which was authorized by tbe same act of con gress. Her principal data is as fol lows: Length, 424 feet; extreme breadth 66 feet; total displacement, 9,700 tons; mean draft at normal displacement, 23 feet 6 inches; en gine, twin-screw, 21,000 horse-p iw- er; speed, ll knots; normal coat supply, 650 tons; coal bunker ca pacity, 1,500 tons.
