Canada may conclude to tako an active part in the Lewis and Clark exposition. While that government has in tho past soomed disinclined to participate, n chango has been wrougitt in tho oloventh hour. A bill making an ap propriation of $50,000 is to bo intro duced at onco in the Canadian parlia ment. Tolorgaphic communication to this effect was received at lewis and Clnrk headquarters yesterday morning. Tho tolegram was received from Colonol II. E.

Tho messago is as follows: "After many consultations and inter views, outlook for Canada's participa tion is favorable. Ministers will ask parliament for $50,000."

Russian Vladivostok Squadron la Agala Sighted Off Japan. Toklo, June 22. The Russian Sibe rian squadron from Vladivostok was sighted again at noon yesterday off Main island in the sea of Japan, but waa apparently following out a prear ranged plan, as tho vessels steamed at about 11 knots' speed slowly toward tho northwest, paying no attention to the shores. Judging by their position In the water, thoy are heavily laden and it is sup posed that boforo leaving Vladivostok on this last trip thoy filled all of their roscrvo bunkers with coal, so that thoy can keep out of port for not less than tliroo weeks. In Bpito of tho roenaco to their trans port fleet tho Japaneso officials hero de clare that their oriignal plans will bo uarriod out, no matter what tho coat. Thoy doclaro that thoro is nochnncofor tho Port Arthur squadron to niako a sortlo to Join Admiral Skrydloff, as Admiral Togo has so dlspoBod of his ships about tho harbor mouth that any vossols putting out will bo sunk before thoy are oven clear of tho roadstoad. WORRVINQ THE JAPANESE. Skrydlolf's Squadron's Work Appreci ative at St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, Juno 22. Vlco Ad miral Skrydloff's mossage to the em peror from Valdlvostok, In which ho detals tho operations of tho squadron, indicates that ho haB accounted for nt loast three of tho Japuneso transports besides a suspected collier. Tho mos sago does not Indicato tho present whereabouts of tho squadron. Tho fact that tho collier was sent to Vladivostok under a prlzo crow might indicato that tlio nowsof the operations of tho squad ron was brought thoro by hor and that tho cruisers uro still at sea. The destruction of an aggrcgato of 15,000 tons of shipping besides troops and crews nnd u valuablo cargo of sup plies is considered hero as being a good showing for tho ruid mado by tho cruis ers. It is thought that it will havo n moral effect and will ijesides neccBBarily divert a considerable section of Vice Admiral Togo's fleet. Strategy Is Criticised. Llao Yang, June 22. For tlio first thno since the beginning of tlio war, General Kuropatkln has taken personal direction of the operations, and in con sequence of his having assumed tho offensive results different from those following recent events aro anticipated.

Russians and Jspaness Unexpectedly Meet on March to ilsurhtltlsn. London, Juno 24. Conflicting ac counts of tho fighting in Manchuria are arriving lioro, and it la plain that both tlio Russians nnd tho Japanese nro en gagod in a death struggle for tho po sitions between Feng Wang Cheng and Mukden, with the chances slightly in favor ot ultimate Russian success, ow ing to tho large number of men that General Kuropatkln haa under his com mand, and tho strength of the Llao Yang defenses. The censorship, however, Ib bo strict that what few, dispatches are permitted to get through are so badly mutilated that it is impossible to determine just what the correspondents who wrote them Means when he sent his account of tho fighting. According to the Chronicle's Far Eastern advices, a collision, which took on all tho proportions of a pitched bat tlo, has taken place between General Baron Kuroki'a main army and a por tion of tlio Russian army. The Rus sians are said to have encountered the Japanese whilo both sides wero trying to tako possession of tho heights of Iisurhlltlon. Tho fight was unex pected and exactly what botli com mandors wero trying to avoid. The Jnpanoso woro at a disadvantage, al though thoy fought bravely and were ovonttially compelled to retreat. Both sides lost heavily. DRIQAND NOW DBMANOS MORE. Pcrdlcarls Will Not Be Released Until Another Province Is Cllvcn. London, Juno 24.
