OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, Aug. 26. To date the Secretary of
the Interior has withdrawn from entry
under the new irrigation law 9.30S.1CO acres
of public land, which foe the most part, it
Is expected, will be reclaimed under irriga
tion projects to be undertaken by the gen
eral Goernment The attention of the de
partment has been called to the fact that
withdrawals for irrigation purposes shall
be subject to homestead entry, and sup
plemental Instructions are to be sent to
local land offices directing them to allow
homestead entries of any lands heretofore
or hereafter withdrawn for this purpose.
These withdrawals are made solely to
prevent speculation, and are in localities
where examinations are now being made
for reservoir sites, with a view to deter
mining those offering best advantages.
Eighty-eight townships have been with
drawn in Arizona, 49 in California, 70 in
Colorado, 5 in Utah, 23 in Wyoming. 41 In
Montana, and 12S in Nevada. Others will
be made from time to time as the field par
ties progress, one or more being looked for
In Eastern Oregon, where several feas
ible sites are known to exist. It is intend
ed ultimately to restore to the public do
main all of the withdrawn lands not found
susceptible of irrigation.
FOREST FIRE TO DE STAMPED OCT.
Hitchcock Issues Instructions Re
Carding: Crater Lake Blare.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Aug. 26. The Secretary of the In
terior having been notified by mail that
forest fires are burning along the borders
of the Crater Lake Park has wired in
structions to Forest Superintendent Orms
by to employ such force as is necessary to
etamp out the blaze. Owing to the fact
that the maximum price of $3 a day and
subsistence has generally been demanded
by those employed to put out fires, the
fund is fast becoming depleted, and disas
trous results are found. The department
feels this labor is not worth the price, but
that the Government is being "held up"
because it will pay.

SOLELY OX BUSINESS.
Object of General MI lea' Trip to the
Philippines.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 26. The War De
partment this afternoon gave out the or
der issued to Lleutenant-General Miles to
go to the Philippines. It is signed by
William Cary Sanger. Acting Secretary
of War. and Is as follows:
"War Department, August 26. 1902. Sir:
I have the honor to state that your appli
cation for authority to inspect the portion
of. the Army serving in the Philippines
is approved by the President You will
sail tfbout the 15th of- September, and in
inspecting the condition of the Army will
give particular attention to its instruc
tor discipline and supplies of all kinds."
It Is the understanding that in that ca
pacity, though of superior rank. General
Miles will not Interfere in any way with
General Chaffee or his successor,-General
Davis, in the direction of the Army in
the Philippines. He will critically exam
ine the conditions as he finds them, de
voting his attention entirely to matters
of Army administration and not to politi
cal affairs, and the results of his work
will be embodied In a set of reports.
It Is believed here that he will be ac
companied by at least two members of his
staff, namely Lieutenant-Colonel Whitney
and Colonel Reber. the latter his son-in-law.
Colonel Maus, who Is the inspecting
officer of the staff, also may accompany
General Miles, if his health, which . is
somewhat Impaired At present, permits.
It developed .that GeneraM Mllesi appli
cation to go to the Philippines was of
comparatively recent date, and was in no
way connected with his application of sev
eral months ago. When the first applica
tion was .made it was coupled with certain
suggestions as to terminating the war, and
Secretary Root's refusal to grant the first
request was based largely upon these
phases of the application. In view of this
It Is understood that General Miles re
stricted his second application so as to
make the trip one for purely military pur
poses. Although the text of the applica
tion was not given out at the War Depart
ment, it is said that one of the features
is a request that a return from the Phil
ippines be by way of the Eastern route.
As the application is approved. General
Miles will return by the route which In
sures ..his visiting Europe on his way back
to America. It Is expected that Mrs.
Miles will accompany the General to the
Philippines, and it may be that his mar
ried daughter, the wife of Colonel Rcber,
also will accompany the party. The Gen
erty will return tomorrow from his New
England trip, when his plans will be m6re
fully made known.
Miles Declines to Talk. '
NEW YORK. Aug. 26. General Miles
came to New York today from Sandy
Hook, where he had been attending a
meeting TSt the Ordnance Bureau of the
Army. The General declined to talk of
the military situation In the Philippines,
saying: "There has been too much in the
papers about that already."

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26. The State De
partment has been notified that Senor Gnr
nashell, who was originally named by the
Italian Government, at our request, to
serve as one of the arbitrators in the

case at The Hague, has .declined the post.
Dr. Asper, a distinguished Dutch publicist,
has been selected to fill the vacancy.
DEFENSE OF NEWPORT.
Wnrmlng-Up Exercise of the Army
Stationed There.
NEWPORT. R. I.7Aug. 26. The warming-up
exercises of the Army of the de
fense cf this vicinity became quite brisk
today, with almost continuous target prac
tice, from daylight to dark, and a general
alarm over arL imaginary foe tonight.
Leave was not given to the men from any
of the three forts defending the entrance
to Narragausett Bay. Every, gun in Forts
Grebli and Wctherill, as well as all the
mortars, was used today.
Tonight, shortly before S o'clock, came
the roll of the drum and the scurry of the
troops to the parapets. Almost at once a
dozen searchlights bur&t forth and began
a critical inspection of the channel, while
signal lights were used In addition to the
telephone in communication between the
two forts. As only a few belated fisher
men were discovered running in from the
sea. It did not seem worth the candle, and
the troops were recalled. Searchlight prac
tice was kept up for some time after. The
little flying squadron of torpedo-boats ar
rived early this morning from the East.
Preparations at Fishers Island.
FISHERS ISLAND. N. Y., Aug. 26.
For several hours after midnight, the
searchlight of the Army station at Napa
tree Point, off Watch Hill, exchanged sig
nals with a light at Fort Trumbull, New
London, presumably conveying informa
tion to the Army officers regarding prep
arations for the war game between the
Army and Navy, which is to begin next
Friday at midnight. Summer residents of
this island have for weeks been deeply
Interested in the plans for the maneuvers,
and the presence of a large camp of ar
tillerymen, among whom the strict dis
cipline of actual wartime Is already en
forced, has added to that Interest.
From a hill road near the .center of the
island, It Is possible to look down upon
the military reservation and observe the
bustle of activity within, but no near ap
proach to the fort Is permitted.
General MacArfhnr on Hand.
NEW LONDON. Ccnn., Aug. 6. Major
General MacArthur, commanding the De
partment of the East, has arrived here,
accompanied by General Harrison and his
personal staff. The General declined to be
interviewed regarding the Army's part in
the war maneuvers. He did say, however,
that all the details would be perfected
J'ut as quickly ar. possible, and that the
Army would give a good account of Itself
In the game of war.
FUGITIVE'S LETTER.
Escaped Convict O'Brien Votvs He
Will Kill Under Sheriff Morgnn.
BUTTE, Mont.. Aug. 27. With officers
of the State Penitentiary upon his trail,
assisted by bloodhounds, Convict Tom
O'Brien, who last Friday made a daring
escape from the State Prison, has sent a
communication to the Miner, pleading for
a public statement of his alleged crime
and vowing the death of Under Sheriff
Dave Morgan, for his alleged perjured tes
timony, the convict declares, sent him to
prison and wrecked his home. The docu
ment received by. the Miner bears the
postmark of Anaconda, The writer dates
his communication from a mountain in the
surrounding Mils of Anaconda, and says
that he wrote his story behind a rock,
dividing his time between his Winchester
and his pen. The communication is a
literary freak, and no question exists as
to its authenticity, as the handwriting has
been fully identified by the Warden of the
penitentiary apd others acquainted with
the criminal. I
O'Brien declares his sole object In escap
ing from the prison is to'klll Deputy Sher
iff Morgan, and after that Is accomplished
he will surrender to officers and take the
consequences. In describing his escape
from the penitentiary. O'Brien, who Is a
graduated veterinary surgeon, and as a
trusty worked in the stables of the prison,
says he gave the bloodhounds-opium that
they would be unable to trace him. He
also fed the Warden's horse a week pre
vious, that the animal would be in con
dition for his escape. O'Brien dashed by
the guards mounted on a favorite race
horse belonging to the Warden.
Posses are now scouring the country for
the fugitive, but with the exception of the
letter received by the Miner and another
by the Warden telling that official where
his horse could be found. -nothing has been
heard of the escaped convict. O'Brien was
sent up for robbery in 190L

vorably inclined toward Congressman

Reported Death of a Boston Million
aire at Chicago.
CHICAGO. Aug. 2a Peculiar circum
stances surrounding the reported death of
Philrtus Jones, represented as a Boston
millionaire, engaged in a large real estate
deal In Chicago, came to the notice of the

Jones of heart disease at the residence of

one here, who knew Mr. Jones, excepting
John A. Lee, through whom, as agent,
Mr. Jones was reported to be negotiating
the purchase of certain property. The
police have a theory that Jones 1s a myth.

3Iove Concerning "Wake Inland.
TOKIO. Aug. 11. via Victoria, B. C Aug.
26. This is a period when the United
States seems to be looking after Pacific
Islands. First It was Marcus Island, but
news came that Washington authorities
recognized Japan's claim there. The In
cident caused a little flutter at first, and
a. Japanes? man-of-war was dispatched
with an official on board to await the ar
rival of Captiln Rosehlll. the American
alleged concessionaire. The warship land
ed its official charged with documents, one
being from United States Minister Buck,
but so far. no word has been received of
Captain Rosehlllte arrival. The tele
graphed solution of the matter has been
hailed with pleasure by the Japanese press,
which exalts the magnanimity of Amer
ica, and points out how consistently she
has shown herself the friend of Japan.
Just on top of that favorable Impres
sion, however, there arrived telegraphic
word that the United Smtes has sent a
warship to oust Japanese from Wake
Island, south of Marcus Island. The Jap
anese papers claim the island was unin
habited until some o'f their blrdcatchers
visited It. and profess to fall to under
stand of what benefit the island would be
to any nation. So far the nature of Amer
ica's claim to the Island and the purposes
of its present enforcement. If the news. Is
correct, are unknown here.
It is etatcd here that the vexed question
of the right of the Japanese Government
to tlx treaty property owned by foreigners
will be submitted to the final arbitrament
of The Hazue tribunal. The matter is not

It is, of course, good to be able to say you can furnish "any
thing " in the way of some staple garment. It is, however, infin
itdySetter to say you can furnish "THE thing."
This latter we can conscientiously say in regard to the Royal
"Worcester Corset.
After years of experience , in handling various makes; after
carefully investigating the progressive methods of the manufac
turers of this corset and the materials of which if is made, we have
decided that the Royal Worcester is, from all standpoints, "THE
. thing."
This is why we offer nothing but this corset to our customers.
This is why our shelves are stocked'whh J50 styles of it, thus en
abling all figures to find a perfect fit in this one make.
That we are correct in our judgment is borne out by the testi
mony of thousands of contented and enthusiastic wearers of the
Royal "Worcester Corset, and also by our very satisfactory sales list.
We are always glad to demonstrate the beauties and advan
tages of this corset over all other makes to anyone calling at our
Corset Department on 'the second floor.

RICE CROP A FAILURE.
Due to Extraordluprv Weather lit
Japan.
YOKOHAMA. Aug. 15. via Victoria. B.
C, Aug. 26. The extraordinary weather
this year in Japan makes the prospects of
a good rice crop, the main food of the peo
ple, very gloomy. The thermometer has
hardly reached SO dog. In the open, and has
been generally dodging around 65 to 75 deg.
Visitors from abroad have been forced to
retain tweed clothes, and at night blankets
are welcome. To complete the discom
fiture by the climate's revolution heavy
rain has been falling, culminating in ty
phoons July 10 and 11. The wind blew at
hurricane velocity, the rivers rose six and
eight feet, embankments were carried
away, whole villages were Inundated, and
the reports of loss of life and damage to
property are dally growing. This topsy
turvy weather, which is so detrimental to
agriculture. Is taken philosophically by
the people. They are already figuring on
buying rice abroad, though If the weather
were to settle down It Is not yet too late
to assure a fair crop except In certain dis
tricts where the fields are completely
washed out by the storm.
Luckily, the rain, which Is so danger
ous here at this time, fell at the right
time In Corea. A magnificent crop of bar
ley, which has already been harvested, to
gether with full rice fields, will put Co
reans In an enviable position. There Is
also a market for their surplus product,
and it will mean a much freer circulation
for money than we have seen for several
years.

REVOLUTION AND CANAL
IJRIBE URGES HIS FOLLOWERS TO
KEEP UP WAR FOR TWO YEARS.
Tnen, He Says, Franchise "Will Be
Invalid and They Can Denl Di
rectly "With the United States.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 26. The procla
mation Just Issued by General Urlbeurlbe,
one of the leaders of the revolutionary
forces In Colombia, urging his followers to
continue the warfare against the govern
ment forces until 1904, when, he declares,
the franchise of the Panama Canal Com
pany will be invalid and negotiations can
be carried on directly between Colombia
and the United States, Is regarded with
considerable Interest In Central and South
American diplomatic quarters, here. The
officials of the Colombian Legation In
Washington admit that the six years' ex
tension of the Panama Canal Company's
franchise, granted by ex-President San
Clemente, is open to a question of legal
ity, for the reason that, while it waa ap
proved by the Colombian Cabinet, It was
not ratified by the Colombian Congress.
Indeed, it Is stated here the proposed ex
tension was not even submitted to the
Colombian Legislature, the country being
then In a disturbed condition, which pre
cluded a calling together of that body.
However, Colombian officials here point
out that the question In the extension of
time has nothing whatever to do with
the present negotiations between the
Unled States and Colombia in regard to
the canal. No one In Colombia, they
state, questions for a moment the validity
of the franchise up to 1901. The Interven
ing time they consider ample for the
clearing of the title by the French com
pany and tho transfer of its rights to the
United States Government.

eral Is still holding his ground and bear
ing bravely, along with the rest of hl3
followers, the privations Incidental to the
siege of Agua Dulce, which has already
lasted nearly one month.

Ciudad Bolivar is still In tho power
of the revolutionists. The town was

attempted to land forces to occupy the
place. About 600 shells were fired Into

La Guayra to obtain additional supplies,
after which the bombardment will bo

There are no foreign warships In the
Orinoco River to protect the interests of

abandoning C00O subjects of Great Britain
who. reside In the district of Ciudad
Bolivar.
