Pinchot Recommends
Two More Reserves.
BOTH IN EASTERN OREGON
Blue and Maury Mountain
Tracts Are'Designated.
THE FORMER IS A LARGE ONE
Protests That Speculators Have Tried
to Secure Same of Lands Reach
the Department-Other' With
drawal Is Assured.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, May 26. As forecasted in these
dispatches, ' Chief Forestor Pinchot
recommended the creation of the Blue
Mountain and Maury Mountain reserves
in Eastern Oregon. In the former it
Is recommended that about 3,000,000
acres be embodied; in the latter some
thing: o'er 60.000 acres in the center of
Crook County. Although Forester
Pinchot most urgently recommends the
creation of the Blue Mountain reserve,
it is not probable that the President
will issue a proclamation creating- this
reserve for some time to come. Pin
chot's recommendation has been re
ferred to Land Commissioner Richards,
in whose office there are numerous' pro
tests ag-ainst the creation of tho re
serve. His records also contain In
formation tending- to show attempts
have been made by various persons to
secure lands within the proposed re
servo, -with a view to having them
converted Into a base for lieu selections.
The Fores try Bureau has, however, care
fully examined each minor subdivision,
and as far as practical has drawn the re
serve limits so as to exclude private hold
ings. Commissioner Richards will make a per
sonal Investigation to see if it Is practi
cable to eliminate additional private hold
ings. He is determined that this reserve,
when created, shall generate as little lieu
base as possible, and will only consent to
tho Inclusion within the reserve of private
lands shown to be held by bona fide set
tlers who Intend to remain there. This
exhaustive examination will consume sev
eral weeks, possibly months.
On the other hand, early action is looked
for on the Maury Mountain recommenda
tion of Pinchot. This proposed reserve
is a clear-cut proposition, with practically
all private lands eliminated.

California Official Sent to Portland
for '05 Board.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, May .26. Superintendent of Con
struction J. W. Roberts, of San Francisco,
will proceed to Portland and ex
amine the Lewis and Clark Exposition
grounds, especially the peninsula and oth
er prospective sites for the Government
buildings. The Government board will
take no action until his report Is received.
Commissioner Henry E. Dosch has writ
ten the board that the peninsula Is under
water at times. If Mr. Roberts finds such
often tho case, the members will give up
that site, although It is strongly favored.
They do not desire even a remote risk of
having tho Government exhibit flooded or
damaged by water.
Two sites for the Government building
will bo shown Superintendent Roberts
when ho arrives. One is that on the pen
insula, -while the other is a parcel of
ground about 20 acres close to the other
Exposition buildings.
MThe site on tho peninsula was greatly
favored for the Government building be
causo it would be separate from the other
structures." said Director-General H. W.
Goode, of the Lewis and Clark Exposition,
last evening. "Tho greater part of the
peninsula has never been overflowed ex
cept during the flood of 1S94. It is iJbout
tho samo height as the ground occupied by
tho Custom-House, and contains- about 25
acres."
It is not expected that the river will
pass tho 26-foot mark this year, which
would leave tho proposed site for the Gov
ernment building entirely safe. Superin
tendent Roberts comes to Inspect the dif
ferent sites at the request of Mr. Goode.
FORTIFYING FENG WANG CHENG
Russian Cavalry Reports on the Op

ST. PETERSBURG. May 26. The gen

gram, dated May IS, from General Kuro
patkin: "There is no change in the general
situation in the Feng Wang Cheng dis
trict. "Our cavalry report that tho Japanese

Feng Wang Cheng, where they have a
force of 30.000 Infantry and 2090 cavalry,
with 36 field guns.
"The Japanese advance guard has ad
vanced to 22 miles north of the Al River,
their front being turned toward Salmatse
and Kuan Tien Sian. They are effecting
no other movements north of the Ai

"It Is reported that a great many Jap
anese cavalry horses have become ex
hausted and are broken down.
"On May 23 our scouts near Pitsewo
and in the Kwan Tung Peninsula ascer
tained that Japanese outposts occupied
the heights two miles south of the station
of Wafandlan. Three miles in their rear
were two squadrons of cavalry of the
line. Two and a half companies of the
Twelfth Infantry protected both flanks
by infantry screens of 40 men each. Fur

disposed among the villages bordering on
the railroad.
"About Polandlen, 3000 troops of all
arms and five guns are concentrated.
"In the neighborhood of Pitsewo and
further south the Japanese landing con
tinues, the troops marching thence to
ward Kinchou, with covering detach

"According to Chinese reports, a battle
took place at Kinchou, May 18, In which
the Japanese lost 700 men. The Russian
losses were not so great.
"A Japanese landing at Taku Shan be
gan five days ago, and It Is reported that
50,000 troops, principally infantry, were
landed, but this has not yet been verified.
The troops landed are marching from
Taku Shan northwest toward Siuyen and
southwest toward Port Arthur.
"One of our sotnias encountered a Jap
anese detachment on the night of May
20-21 at SItkouchlntse and caused great
consternation among the Japanese, who
opened fire upon the Cossacks. In the
darkness they fired upon their own men.
"On May 21 a Russian reconnoltering
party got behind the Japanese army near
Tansanchlntse. on the mall road from
Sakhedza to L4ao Yang, and found a
Japanese detachment 300 strong. The
Russian scouts watched for 16 hours, dur
ing which time at least 1S.003 Chinese and
Corean coolies 'passed, together with 200
carts. The Japanese finally discovered
and attacked the Russian scouts, all of
whose horses were killed. The scouts
were obliged to return on foot,"

Czar's Cordial Greeting Is Believed to
Mark Beginning of New Era.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 26. Tho be
ginning of a new and more friendly era
in Anglo-Russian relations is believed to
have been Inaugurated by the cordial man
ner in which the Emperor this afternoon,
at the Tsarkoe Selo Palace, received Sir
Charles Harding, the new British Ambas
sador to Russia. Sir Charles presented his
credentials in private audience, the Em
press sharing with the Emperor the cor
dial greetings extended to the new Am
bassador, who handed a personal letter
from King Edward to his imperial
nephew, also conveying the Brjtish King's
personal good wishes and sincere desire
that the relations between the two coun
tries shall become more and more friendly.
While what passed naturally is a se
cret. Sir Charles afterward expressed the
greatest satisfaction at the spirit of his
reception. While it is a mistake to sup
pose that negotiations looking to an un
derstanding to an adjustment of the long
standing differences between Great Brit
ain and Russia have begun, or can begin,
while Great Britain's ally is at war with
Russia, it is an open secret that the real
end and aim of Sir Charles' mission is to
so improve the relations between Great
Britain and Russia during the war, so as
to render possible at Its conclusion such
an understanding, which is now known to
be close to the heart of King Edward. It
is said that the one of possible cases of
misunderstanding already has been re
moved by the acceptance by Russia of
Great Britain s assurances regarding the
purpose of the British mission to Thibet.

Queen's Anniversary Celebration
Newsboys Benefit at the Mar
quam, St. Mary's Academy Com
mencement Exercises, Jewish
Order of B'nal B'rlth AH Sup
plied With Choice Pianos by
Eilers Piano House.
The intense musical activity of Port
land is well Illustrated by the great
demand at Eilers Piano House during the
past four days for concert pianos to bo
used at special occasions.
There could be no stronger Indication
of Eilers Piano House popularity, and
the excellence of their instruments.
At the newsboys' benefit given at Mar
quam Grand Wednesday evening, where
a large number of Portland's foremost
musicians contributed to the success and
enjoyment of the occasion, the piano
used was a superb Chickering concert
grand, sent over by special request by
the Eilers House.
St. Mary's Academy, the great Catho
lis educational institution of the Pacific
West, ordered sent up no less than seven
Instruments two fine Chickerlngs, two
superb Webers, and two elegant Kim
balls, together with a fine Kimball solo
organ, all of which were selected by the
management of the music department for
use In its elaborate commencement ex
ercises. At the celebration of the birthday an
niversary of Good Queen Vlvtoria, by
the leading Englishmen of the com
munity, at the Armory last Tuesday
evening, a Chickering concert grand was
ordered sent up. and It contributed its
full share to the exceedingly fine pro
gram which was rendered.
And on the occasion of the visit of the
grand officers of the Jewish Independent
Order of B'nai B'rith, the piano selected
by the local order here for the occasion
was an elegant Kimball orchestral up
right. The above In Itself speaks volumes
for Eilers Piano House, but no more so
than the constant use of Instruments sup
plied from Eilers Piano House to the
leading Pacific Coast musicians, musical
institutions, theaters, schools, colleges,
and lodges throughout the Pacific West.
The best instruments In the world are
sold by Eilers Piano House a the very
lowest retail prices possible, and herein
lies the secret of its success. A quarter
block is entirely devlted to the sale of
Its pianos In Portland alone, while other
stores belonging to the company are

for some time. Dr. Evans energetically
protested against his son's course, and
finally cut off his income. This brought
the couple back to Paris, where they ar
rived a week ago, going to the Hotel De
Rlvoll.
At 5 o'clock on Monday evening a shot
was heard In the chamber of the Vis
count, and when the proprietor of the
hotel reached the chamber, he found the
Viscount on a bed with a wound In his
left breast. Mme. Pflucker, who was In
the room, said the Viscount had shot
himself, and. although weak from loss of
blood, the wounded man seemed to con
firm this statement, saying that the shoot
ing took place while he was handling a
weapon.
He was taken to a private sanitarium,
where an operation was performed. Mme.
Pflucker remained constantly at his bed
side. The Viscount D'Oyiey became un
conscious and lingered until this morn
ing, when he died, after which the police
began an investigation, which brought
out the foregoing facts.
Mme. Pflucker was Interrogated by the
police, and later was given provisional
liberty, but was told to hold herself at
the disposal of the authorities. She bears
out the theory of suicide by showing two
letters which the Viscount had addressed
to the authorities, stating it was his in
tention to commit suicide, owing to fam
ily difficulties.
