THE ' MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1904. iWNSHIPSERRED Russian SaysThey Fired on Each Other TO OFFICER ON CRUISER He Declares the Ships Separ ated in a Fog. THEN MISTAKE WAS MADE ttlember of Crew of the Aurora 'Also - Offers to Give Commission His Version of Dogger, Bank Incident. SPECIAL CABLE. LONDON, .Nov. 22. The Copenhagen correspondent of the Daily Mail -wires a sensational Interview which he asserts was granted him by an officer o tfte Rus sian cruiser Aurora. It corroborates the theory that the vessels of the Baltic fleet fired at each other at the Dogger Bank, the attacking ship being caught In a heavy fog and mistaking the hazy forms of others for Japanese vessels. The inter view begins with a circumstantial descrip tion of the order of the sailing of the two divisions of the Baltic fleet The Aurora was in the first division and a consider able distance ahead of the flagship of the second During the evening a heavy fog settled over the water and the first di vision's progress was seriously impeded. Thus it came about that the flagship of the second overtook the Aurora, and sud denly a shot crossed her bow, followed by a volley which killed the chaplain and wounded several of the crew. Admiral Bojestvensky's flagship was a considerable distance ahead at the time, but the commander sent a message to the Admiral, informing him he had been flred on. By that time the Aurora and. several other ships had approached the Gamecock fleet within a short distance. The lights of the fishing vessels served as targets and S50 shots -were fired by the Russians. Then the mistake was discovered. The officer insists, according to the Mall's corre spondent, that If summoned he will re peat this version of the Dogger Bank affair. RUSSIAN FIRE TOO DEADLY. Japanese Repulse at Poutlloff Hill Most Important of Recent Fighting. MUKDEN, Nov. 20 (via Tien Tsin. Nov. 22.) Since the Japanese attack on Poutlloff ;HIU on the night of No vember 18, no activity has been appar ent. The charactor of the attack on .Poutlloff Hill Is not fully understood beyond -the fact -that three or four bat talions participated. - It probably -was made on the initiative of the local commander -without the consent of headquarters, and as an attack it can only be favorably regarded In the light of a reconnaissance in force. This incident is the most important that has happened since the battle of Shakhe. Poutlloff Hill, -which is now the cen ter of interest of the entire line, could be seen flashing the signal of attack from her fortifications as the Japanese Infantry advanced. On account of repeated reports that the Japanese Intended to attack No vember 19, this assault was believed to be the signal for an advance of the entire line and consequently the entire Russian army, on the qui vlve inaugu rated Its own hostile movements by east and west of Poutlloff Hill. The Japanese arrived within SO yards of the Russian trenches. The Russian fire was too deadly for a further advance. The next morning disclosed about 80 Jap anese dead, which the Russians buried yesterday. The Japanese succeeded in carrying off in haste 200 wounded. The Russians lost half a dozen men In the tr.enches. Scouting operations on both sides re sult in daily encounters, sometimes be tween battalion?, but the encounters are little more than skirmishing. The scouting is for the evident purpose of identifying the opponent's position and local strength. Tho Russians continue daily to shell the Japanese position at Linshenpu. The nights are growing colder and fuel Is scarcer. Crowds of Chinese are wandering over the fields and roads picking up everything combustible, even the roots of the Chinese corn. Russian soldiers are quite comfort able in their dugouts. BLOCKADE-RUNNER CAPTURED Japanese -Run Down German Vessel Bound for Port Arthur. . TOKIO, Nov. 21. The Navy Depart ment reports the capture of the Ger man steamer Batelan while attempting to run the Port Arthur blockade. .The department, says that at 3 A. M., No vember 19, a. Japanese squadron cruis ing off Tental sighted a vessel steam lng for Port Arthur. The gunboat Tatsu pursued and overtook the steam er at 5 o'clock in the morning. On board the vessel was found a great quantity of Winter clothing, blankets, medicine and corned meats. Her cap tain said he was bound for Nlu Chwang. The route and cargo of the steamer were considered to bo -suspicious, and she was taken possession of and brought to Easebo. the past few days. Particularly hot was the fighting on Poutlloff (Lone Tree) hill, where the Japanese were repulsed with the loss of over 100 killed. All signs Indicate that great events are Imminent. The road to Sin xnintin, owin& to the excellent patrol service, is quite safe from Chinese bandits. The health of the troops is excellent. The Russians admire the cleanliness, perfect order-and equipment of the Japanese. One does not see any trace of race hatred. It is a fact that the Japanese return through French inter mediation all valuables found on dead Russians. This has made a deep im pression here and is reciprocated. CRITICISE AMERICAN CONSUL Russians Hold He Aided Japanese by Report About Arthur. ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 22 (2:45 A. M.) A special dispatch from Tientsin print ed here, stating tnat me American uusui at Chefoo has warned the State Depart ment at "Washington of the Imminence of the fall of Port Arthur, Is received with much criticism, the allegation being made that the dispatch was prompted by a de sire to help the Japanese war loan. Japanese Tax Case Considered. THE HAGUE, Nov. 2L The first sitting of the arbitration court on the Japanese public tax question was held today. The United States Is. Interested in the matter, although not a party to the present arbi tration. The point at issue is the conten tion of Great Britain, France and Ger many that Japan imposed taxes on build ings in the old foreign concessions which, being perpetual leases, are exempt from taxation. The United States and other powers having similar concessions "will ac cept the award. REPORT FROM KUROPATKIN. Tells of Daring Exploit of Soldiers Under His Command. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 21. General Kuropatkln. telegraphing under yes terday's date, says a daring deed was accomplished by four volunteers of a Russian patrol November 16. Whilelre connoiterlng the patrol discovered a Chinese building occupied by 25 Japan ese. Four riflemen volunteered to blow up the place and armed with grenades loaded with pyroxylin, they succeeded in evading the sentries, placed the grenades and retired undetected. A few minutes later the grenades exploded and completely wrecked the building. "When Japanese reinforcements arrived they found all the occupants dead or wounded among the ruins. FIGHTING IS WARMER. All Signs Indicate That Great Events Arc Imminent. BERLIN, Nov. 21. A dispatch, to the Lokal Anrelger from Mukden under to day's, date says: The reconnaissance fights have as - mad a more -violent character during: Russian Ships Sail From Canea. CANEA, Island of Crete, Nov. 2L The section of the Russian second Pacific squadron commanded by Vice-Admiral Voelkersam sailed this afternoon tor Port Said.

PETERSBURG, Nov. 2L The Novoe Vremya today, discussing tho re cent speeches of President Roosevelt, Sec retary of tho Navy Morton and Chan cellor von Bulow, argues that the United States and Germany are reversing their roles, the former now being In favor ot Increasing armament, and the latter be ing ambitious to take part in the peaceful councils of nations. Russians at Da Pass Retire. MUKDEN. Nov. 2L The Russian de tachments occupying Da Pass havo re tired before a Japanese column 1000 strong. The Japanese are reported to be advancing towards Slntslntin. Japanese Fire Damages Warships. SHANGHAI. Nov. 21. Russians ran tured near Port Arthur say that five men-of-war in the harbor hae been rendered useless by the Japanese fire CHILE WILL NOT SELL SHIPS. High Official Declares There Is No Ground for Such a Belief. NEW YORK, Nov. 2L In discussing re ports circulated In Europe relative to the alleged sale of Chilean warships to Rus sia through Colombia, a high government official says, according to a Herald dls patch from Valparaiso: "This news is absurd. It is unworthy of tho slightest attention. In respect for international law, Chile occupies the flame if not a higher level than some of the greatest powers. "It is quite as absurd to believe that Chile would sell battleships to a bellig erent as to suppose that the United States would sell some of her ships to Russia or Japan. Because Chile Is placed on the South American Continent Is no reason to imply that she is a savage and uncivilized country. Just as, on the other hand, there would be no reason to as sume that she was a civilized country because she happened to be located in Europe." Pacific Squadron at Shaw Bay. FREDERICKS HAVEN, Denmark, Nov. 2L The second division of the Russian second Pacific squadron has arrived here and is anchored in Shaw Bay. TROOPS RUSHING TO ARTHUR "Next Japanese Assault Will Be a Tre mendous Affair. CHEFOO, Nov. 21. A Japanese of ficial, among the latest arrivals from Dalny, states positively that the general attack on Port Arthur has not been re sumed. Rumors to that effect In Dalny have arisen because fresh troops, includ ing the seventh division, recently landed, are being sent to the front. It Is believed that the explosion which took place on November 16 occurred In some counter tunneling work. The second explosion, which was heard on November 19, was much heavier, and It Is reported upon the best authority was due to the blowing up of a Russian magazine. It Is expected that tho next attack upon Port Arthur will be a tremendous affair. More reinforcements are coming to the support of General Nogl than those dis patched to Field Marshal Oyama. The -Japanese are now constructing coast defense forts at Pigeon Bay, which Is ac cepted as an indication that they expect to be defending Port Arthur themselves some day. 'VARSITY MEN REST Yokio Confirms Japanese Victory. TOKIO, Nov. 21. Reliable sources report that the' Japanese mined and occupied a counterscarp on Rihlung Mountain No vember 15.

The initial step In .securing the commitment of Roy Scott, who attempted to cut the throat of Elsie Gallacher Saturday af ternoon and who later confessed to similar attempts on other girls, was taken today, when a complaint was sworn out charging Scott with In sanity. He probably will -be committed to the State Insane Asylum. Eugene Eleven Ready for Big Tussle With M. A. A. C. ARE BATTERED, BUT BRAVE Backs Do Little Practice, and Bruised Muscles Are Tightening Again for Annual Game Here Thanksgiving Day. UNTVERSITr OF OREGON, Eugene, Nov. 2L (Special.) When the university football team met today it took only a glance at those 11 gridiron champions to make one realize that the game at Cor vallls last Saturday .was a hard-earned victory. .Every face is a regular foot ball face and every player Is badly, though not seriously, bruised; but the men are full of ginger and all will be in readiness for the annual Thanksgiving contest with Multnomah. There was no practice held today, and a light signal meeting Tuesday ends Ore gon's practice for the year. Today the men took work in the gymnasium and were given all possible attention in order that Smith might not be forced to put a substitute in Thursday's game. As a result of the triumph -at Cor vallls, which, according to local sup porters, .should have been more decisive, the University rooters have taken cour age and expect the Eugene college men to give the club players a hard game this year. Smith's men are known to be small, but their speed and determina tion has been tested, for In every meet of the season they have been pitted against heavier teams, yet they are the undisputed college champions of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The only members of the team that may be in questionable condition for the game this week are the three backs, who will take no work before Wednesday, other than enough to locate and remove bruises. Not a lineman is injured enough to prevent good work Thursday, with the possible exception of Mclntyre at right guard. TALKS ABOUT MULTNOMAH. Valley Papers Saying That the Team Is Full of Professionals. All the Valley papers seem to have it In for the Multnomah football team. A while ago a Corvallls paper came out with the statement that the whole team was professional. Now comes tho Eu gene Register: "It would seem, that Multnomah Is Importing a few players for the avowed purpose of Insuring victory over the U. of O." It so happens that Oregon's friendly feeling towards Multnomah Is of too long standing to be shaken by a statement of that kind or It might be believed here that the Oregon players actually thought they were going against a team of profes sionals. There Is, however, this foundation for the Register's remark, that Multnomah will have the strongest team It can mus ter for the Thanksgiving Day game. Mar tin Pratt frequently comes down from his ranch to play on tho club team. Chester Murphy has gone on the football field once more, against his will, because Bert Kerrigan broke his arm, and Lonergan, an old Notre- Dame half, teaching at Co lumbla and a member of the club, may take one of the ends. That Is the great est stretch of the "importing" likely to be done, and right now It Is not certain that either Pratt or Lonergan will be In the game. Multnomah will not overlook an oppor tunity to turn out the best possible team for Thansgivlng. The squad is out prac ticing every night this week and Murphy will have the eleven in wonderful form from the present work, for he feels that It will be necessary to use every effort to defeat Oregon, and to do that he will strengthen his team as much as possible.

AT THE THEATERS What, the Press Agents Say. BENEFIT FOR MISS "ANGUS TODAY Attractive Programme at the Colum bia Theater This Afternoon. If you saved your money and waited for a whole season you would not prob ably meet with a better, more diversified bill than that to be presented at the Co lumbia Theater this afternoon at 2:15 o'clock, when the benefit to Miss Edith Angus will "be given. She was an actress of the Columbia Stock Company and Is 111 at the Good Samaritan Hospital. Last night her physician. Dr. George Wilson. reported that his patient was somewhat better. The benefit bill will be of that rare quality, high-class songs, the legiti mate drama, and the cream of the vaude ville acts selected from the different vaudeville houses In town. Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, Mrs. Walter Reed, Miss Louise Brandt and Miss Dot Bernard are the singers, and Catherine Countess and Edgar Baume are to present the balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet. Rose Eytlnge will read a poem, while enter taining selections will be heard from Lester Lonergan, Milton G. Wlnstock and others. In addition, there are orches tral overtures. Instrumental quartets, etc It's going to be a great bill. There are no reserved scats at the mtalnee, and people who are early get the best seats. This event Is managed by the women of Portland. "Led Astray." A loveable' character In Dion Boucl cault's "Led Astray," Is that of Hector Placlde, Interpreted by George Bloom quest In the Columbia Theater Stock Company's production of the play. Hector loves the daughter of the man nearest and dearest to him on earth and bears her indifference to his suit with the endurance of a stoic, hoping, hoping, hoping that some day she will learn to lovo him with the same ardor. Despite the humor of the line, there is a touch of sadness in his tone when, after reflecting upon the situation, he remarks: "Nature played a prectlcal joke when she made me. She gave me the soul of a Romeo and the face of a comic singer." Hector loves on, trying with all his might to settle differences that have arisen be tween hl3 prospective parents-ln-law and still trying to win the girl's heart. At last he succeeds. Bouclcault had a way of bringing young lovers together happily at the end of his play and in "Led Astray" he used to this end the beautiful motive of tho young pair working to gether for the restitution ot peace and happiness in a household. Tho play has thus far duplicated the hit made by the. company In "The Jilt," which also came from Bouclcault's pro Hfilc pen, and which was one ot the record-breaking attractions of the Colum bia company's season. Special Thanks giving matinee Thursday and regular 'matinee Saturday. League. Hundreds of tickets have been sold and the affair promises to be a splendid success. Some of the very best talent In the city will participate. NEW VAUDEVILLE BILLS. Star. The four Banvards ought to have wings and then they would go through the air better than the birds. The Banvards are four acrobats, two young men and two young women, who are the star-act feature this week at the star. In the language of vaudeville they do what is called an aerial "casting" act. The young men hang by their heels from the cradle of the trapeze while the two girls swing from one man's hands to another's, turning flip-flops. A net is underneath them in case they should make a slip. Cowles and Alden present an ambitious sketch, suggesting a pastoral play, "Jonathan's Courtship," in which Dor othy Alden, dressed in the demure gray of a Quaker maiden, acts the part of Prudence Prim, a good plemaker. It's an amusing sketch. Sillier borthers. a vio linist and a singer, earn applause by their good work. Harry Brown is a clever singing cartoonist, who draws pictures in the view of the audience, his drawing of "The Rock of Ages" being noteworthy. The Fletchers are a merry duo, the girl being well dressed and fair to see. Her song is "Mademoiselle New York." The great Zang, barrel jumper; Hickman and .Morton, soubrettes, and the projectoscope, picturing the kidnaping of a baby, make up the remainder of the good bill. Grimes Cellar Door. A comedy trip to laughland would best describe the new "Grimes' Cellar Door," which comes to the Empire Theater lor three days, commencing Thanksgiving matinee. November 24. In organizing this now popular and suc cessful attraction, James B. Mackle had but one object In view, and that was to please. So, with this idea in mind, all highways and byways where comic novel ties and wonderful Illusions could be found were searched "and not In vain, as "all who have witnessed this entertainment will verify. There is no use in trying to explain a plot unless It can bo found In the title, but no lenses are powerful enough to do It, so the management .leaves it to the imagination of the public, unless they secure Marconi and his wire less telegraphy. "Grimes' Cellar Door" was designed for laughing purposes only, enough bright and witty dialogue being Introduced as a con necting link' for a series of ludicrous sit uations by famous grotesques, brightened with numerous pretty girls in picturesque songe and dances, the whole embellished with a complete scenic environment equal in beauty to a gorgeous spectacular pro duction in addition' to all that Is new in trick pantomime. Thomas Jefferson as "Rip." Thomas Jefferson, the son of Joseph Jefferson, will come to the Marquam Grand Theatre next Monday and Tuesday nights. November 28 and 29. Mr. Joseph Jefferson has retired from the stage and his worthy successor, Mr. Thomas Jefferson, will fill the vacancy made by his father's retirement, for "Rip Van Winkle" without a Jefferson would be strange Indeed. The beauty of Mr. Jefferson's performance Is his. attention to detail and scenery." The Catsklll moun tains are faithfully portrayed and painted from sketches taken on the spot where the story of the old legend describes, and is praised for Its artistic work. Haverly's Minstrel Tickets. This morning at 10 o'clock the advance sale of seats will open for the Marquam Grand Theatre's Thanksgiving attraction, Haverly's minstrelsy which will be the holiday offering, both matinee and night.

Notwith standing the Immense prnwds. thev wr all handled with ease and comfort, and thero was not a single complaint of any kind or character. The bill was abso lutely unsurpassed. Musllners trained sheep were marvelous. These animals, so difficult to teach, nheved the snnken command of Musllner just as pupils of a school would mind their teacher. Poggle, tho comic pig, proved himself to be a star comedian and there was a genuine laugh In his every movement. Fyne and Dandv In their comlr? acrnhntism proved a whirlwind of fun and convulsed the big audiences. "SI and Mandy," the rural comedy sketch with Sam and Ida Kelly In the parts, was another splendid winner. The Elliotts with their harps made the sweetest kind of music and proved why they were such favorites in the East. Arthur O. Folkert whistle an wn clever imitations. He 13 an extraordinary attraction, absolutely producing double notes at one and the same time. Frank Melton sang a pictured melody, "He's Only a Private, That's All," and the peo ple thundered their applause.

The Edwards, Ro man ring artists, a man and a woman, show snlendid muscular riAvoinnm.nf and swing from the rings not only with their arms, but with their teeth. All their work Is graceful. "Just a Bunch or wudflowers" is the title of Kate Coyle's new Illustrated nnc- oni i. well sung. The two Rustics, comedy oar artists, are winners. The only man guest at a Summer hotel and other tumorous pictures are nashed by the Dioscope. Lyric. It's a good thing for Grose, the handcuff king, that he Is living under the be neficent laws of the year 1904. Had he lived 300 years ago some king or princeling woum HKeiy nave burned him as a dan gerous wizard. Grose is the top-liner this week at the Lyric, and the manner in which he locks and unlocks handcuffs would make the average detective appre henslve about the safety of prisoners In well-ordered Jails. Good work, Samuels. You're a most amusing Hebrew Imperson ator, and your facial expression, accent and dress add to the laughter. Your baby carriage story made a young man laugh last night until he had to be assisted home. The vltascope shows pictures that have a smile in them, and Harry Hoyt slng3 a new ballad. "Jennie Lee." Nancy Lee Is an accomplished harpist and man dolin player. Her songs are "Dear Old Girl" and "Kentucky Home." Miller, In blackface, cracks jokes and sings his way Into favor. So do the Aldeans, gymnasts, especially the Aldean who wears corsets and publicly takes off these garments. Baker. If Barnold had said last night to his trained dogs, "Talk." the audiences at the Baker would not have been surprised If the dogs had obeyed him, for If ever a trainer has dogs and one cat under abso lute control. Barnold has. Think of a dog. without any visible prompting, slip ping his head from a collar attached to a chain, stealing his master's supper, plac ing the cat on the table where the theft was committed, and kneeling for forgive ness. Two dogs don the "mitts" and there Is a boxing match where one dog Is knocked out for the full count of ten. Katherlne, a contortionist, is a pretty girl, prettier than most girls In that line, and her work is of the refined order. The George Comedy Company, four In number, present a screaming farce, "The Irish man's Pipe Dream," which Is new, funny and well acted. Marion George is an able vlollnlste. The Three Voltens, including the baby, are clever gymnasts. Jim Cal vin, juggler; the blograph: the Dore fam ily.' acrobats, and R. G. Baldwin, singer, all make good. Bijou. Frye and Allen, sketch artists, set the Bijou crowds Into laughter land yester day. Their sketch Is a goci one. Is lightened with plenty of humor, and Is just the thing to drive dull care away on afternoons and evenings when rain keeps busy. Pedro is a young man who can juggle away most articles, and it Is a wonder he did not juggle away the stage on which he performed his tricks. El more and Bartlett seem to be a couple of well-dressed women when they open their act. which Is the attempt of a San Fran cisco society woman to get a woman com panion able to speak various foreign languages. Bartlett keeps up the Illu sion until the end, when he suddenly sinks Into a bass drawl that leaves no doubt of his Identity. He also gives a shadow dance, and his partaer sings a song. "I Wish the Band Would Play." The vltascope, among other features, gives pictures of an amostag chae after a clothes thief. Zelnw.
