JOY AT CZAR'S DECISION
Japan Objected to Muravieff Because
of Hostile Speech Before Hague
Tribunal Rosen Is Re
ceived by Roosevelt.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 13. (12:55 P.M.)
Emperor Nicholas has signed the ap
pointment of M. "Witte, president of the
Council' of Ministers, to be chief pleni
potentiary representing the Russian gov
ernment in tho peace negotiations1 to be
conducted next month in the United
States. The appointment, which was
Elgned after midnight, clothes M. Witte
with plenary powers.
Official notification of the designation of
M. Witte to head, the mission was for
warded to "Washington this morning. M.
Witte will take passage on the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wllhclm der
Grosee, which sails from Cherbourg July
26.'
The peace party is overjoyed at the
fact that the negotiations have been
placed in M. "Witte's hands. It is the firm
belief that this not only insures a suc
cessful termination of the negotiations,
but that M. Witte will secure the best
possible terms for his country. Some of
the Grand Dukes and courtier of the
Emperor's entourage, however, arc re
ported to be furious at M. Witte's selec
tion. JAPAX OPPOSED MT3IAVIEFF
Speech at Hague Arbitration Meet
ing Had Given Offense.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 13. (12:55 P.
M.) It has been intimated that Japan
formally objected to certain utterancps
attributed to M. Muravieff reflecting
upon the Japanese nation, but inquiries
made here have failed to obtain any con
firmation of the rumor.
The remarks which Japan Is said to
have complained of were made when M.
Muravieff was president of the arbitra
tion tribunal at The Hague which de
cided against Venezuela the claims of
the blockading powers for preferential
treatment. After the delivery of the de
cision. M. Muravieff reviewed the deci
sion and said the arbitration begun in
times of peace had ended amid the sin
ister acts of war. which was a terrible
obstacle In the path of right and progress.
In spite of all good will no one was se
cure against an unexpected hostile at
tack. A nation was obliged to accept a
war when ihe legitimate defense of
honor and liberty was Involved. The just
providence which ruled over battles would
distinguish between right and unfounded
pretensions. At the end of this war be
tween an European and an Asiatic people
the right would shine out afresh.
The Japanese Minister at The Hague
asked his government for instructions
in regard to M. Muravieff's .speech, but
the outcome of the step has never been
made known.
NOT ENOUGH FOR EXPENSES
Reason of Muravieff's Resignation.
Witte Has Full Powers.
PARIS. July 13. The SL Petersburg con
respondent of the Echo do Paris states
that the declination of M. Muravieff to
head the Russian peace mission was based
partly on the state of his health and part
ly on the fact that his allowance for ex
penses to cover the period of his sojourn
in America was only 15.000 rubles, which
amount he considered insufficient, owing
to the great cost of living In the United
States.
M. Witte twice refused to become the
EUCcessoV of M. Muravieff on the mission
on the ground that he did not wish to be
a mere figurehead In the transmission to
Emperor Nicholas of the peace terms of
fered by Japan. His selection, therefore,
cannot but be taken to mean that the
Emperor has yielded to his insistence that
real powers plenipotentiary be conferred
upon Russia's principal representative on
the peace mission.
PEACE PLENIPOTENTIARIES.
Leading Diplomats of Russia and
Japan Who Will End War.
Sergius Witte, the Russian plenipoten
tiary, may.be regarded as the leading Lib
eral statesman of Russia. For the last 13
years he has been one of the strongest
personalities in the Russian bureaucracy,
although his political fortunes suffered a
setback when he was compelled to resign
the portfolio of Minister of Finance In
August, 1903, and again, when, after being
appointed president ol the Council of Min
isters in the same month, his office grad
ually lost its importance until rumors of
his Intention to resign and go abroad had
been persistently circulated.
Witte is about 56 years old, and has
steadily worked his way up from the posi
tion of an underpaid railroad clerk, who
occasionally acted as porter, to that of
the leading statesman of .Russia, in spite
of the fact that his enemies are numerous
and include tome of the most powerful
men in Russia. A man of large stature,
blg-llmbed and muscular, standing over
six feet high. Witte has the reputation of
being harsh to his subordinates, but his
honesty and ability have never been
doubted even by his worst enemies. He
was created a Count in 1901.
M. Witte is thoroughly familiar with the
Far Eastern question in all Its bearings.
He understands the Japanese, position, and
fully realized before the war that the ag
gressive policy being pursued under the
lead of Viceroy Alexleff and M. Bezobra
zoff, president of the Yalu Timber com
pany, and the coterie of adventurers con
nected with them would drive Japan to
take up the sword. At one time Witte
talked over the situation with the Mar
quis Ito. -president of the Japanese Priv,y
Council, and one of the leading statesmen
of Japan. Practically. It was Witte's dis
approval of Russia's Far Eastern pollcy
and the creation of a Viccroyalty In the
Far East which caused his downfall as
Minister of Finance.

TRUST TO JAPANESE EQUITY
London Times Correspondent Thinks
China Will Not Press Claims.
YOKOHAMA. July 13. Dr. Morrison,
the London Times' correspondent, who Is
here on his way to Washington, says that
China confidently expects that peace will
be made between. Japan and Russia, re
lying upon Japan's selection of plenipo
tentiaries to cause a cessation of hostili
ties. Regarding China's representation at
the peace conference. Dr. Morrison said
that a certain section of Chinese wanted
representation in the proceedings, but, as
the conference will not be International,
these Chinese had been urged not to pros
ecute their desires. Wiser counsels had
vetoed the Idea, being willing to trust to
Japanese equity. Viceroy Yuan Shi Kal,
the most influential man In China, Is con
fident that Japan will act in good faith.
Dr. Morrison thought that the anti
American sentiment among the Chinese
ft subsiding, and that it had never become
as widespread as had been reported. He
did not think the Chinese would boycott
for any length of time goods that they
found profitable to handle. Dr. Morrison

SAKHALIN
Landing of Japanese at Kor
sakovsk Causes Rout.
RUSSIANS ARE SURPRISED
Destroy Own Forts and Flee, Leav
ing Guns to Enemy Panic
Stricken Citizens Burn
Houses, and Depart.
LONDON. July 13. The correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph at Toklo sends a
description of the Japanese Invasion of
the Island of Sakhalin, written by a cor
respondent of the paper at Aomari, Japan,
which is, in part, as follows:
"The Japanese left their temporary base
July 4 and reached their destination July
7. The Russian cruiser Novik was found
at Cape Endume, stranded on a reef, half
submerged.
"The Russians fired only three or four
shells before they destroyed the fort, the
Jetties and the barracks. Hca"y guns,
undamaged, were afterward found in the
forts, where they had been hastily and
imperfectly mounted.
"The greatest confusion was witnessed
In the streets of Korsakovsk. The Rus
sian troops were rushing in all directions,
carrying cooking utensils on their shoul
ders, and men were passing about tho
streets looting and setting fire to the
buildings. All the citizens were panic
stricken, many of them setting fire to
their own houses. The conflagration con
tinued for nearly three days. The streets
are now desolated end obstructed with
the ruins of charred buildings.
"Finding that the Japanese respected
property and treated the people kindly,
the citizens are beginning to return."
SKY' WAS PAINTED BLOOD-RED
Eyewitness Describes Scene at Cap
ture of Korsakovsk.
TOKIO. July 13. 6:30 P. M.)-An eye
witness of the Japanese bombardment of
Korsakovsk wires that the Russian forts
were silenced on July 7 after the exchange
of a few shots. The piers, warehouses and
other buildings were set on Are, and the
conflagration was reflected by the foggy
atmosphere, converting the sky into one
mass of blood-red color. The Japanese
army landed amidst the fire, which was
fast spreading to the forts. The infantry
quickly captured the forts, from the tops
of which the bewildered inhabitants were
seen fleeing in every direction, carrying
what property they could remove. The
fires were not subdued for over 4S hours.
The sunken Russian cruiser Novlk,
which was destroyed by the Japanese at
Korsakovsk last August, and the ruined
town and forts are sad witnesses ot the
rapidity with which destruction is
wrought In modern warfare.

Police, Wanted There for
Foul Murder.
Detectl'e R. E. Phetan. of Kansas
City, arrived In Portland at 8 o'clock
last night to take back Ace Graham,
alias Hunter, colored, wno is wanted
In that city for murder In the first de
gree. Graham was arrested by the
Portland police four days ago for being
concerned in a drunken brawl at a
negro lodging-house in the North End.
After his arrest It was discovered that
he was wanted In Kansas City for mur
der, and he was detained until the ar
rival of the officer from the Missouri
city.
Friends of Graham have made every
effort to prevent his return to Missouri,
but apparently there Is nothing to stop
his extradition and trial. On the night
of September 20. 1904, Graham entered
the Tuxedo Club, a fashionable resort
at Sixth and Wyandotte streets. Kan
sas City, and got into a quarrel with
John Quinn. a well-known character
In the Middle West, In the course of
the quarrel Graham shot Quinn twice,
killing him Instantly. He made good
his escape and evaded the officers fol
lowing him until a short time ago,
when he was located in Seattle. Before
he could be .apprehended, however, he
again disappeared and was lost sight
of until picked up by the Portland po
lice a few days ago.
"We have a good case against Gra-
' ham." said Detective Phelan last
night, "and it Is likely that he will pay
the extreme penalty for his crime,
which was one of the most atrocious
murders ever committed in our city.
When Graham shot Quinn the latter
was making no threats, and was. upon
the contrary, attempting to pacify Gra
ham." Detective Phelan will remain in
Portland for a few days to see the Ex-
! position and get much-needed rest. He
stated last night that he was unable to
! get a berth in a standard sleeper com
ing out. the heavy Fair traffic over
burdening (he trains. Graham is In a
pleasant mood and refuses to talk of
his crime. He did state once since his
arrest, however, that he had been
charged with serious crimes In Kan
sas City before, and always escaped
penalty. Detective Phelan states that
was because he always surrounded
himself with negro witnesses not above
perjury, and declares that this time
Graham will find himself compelled to
face the results of Tils criminal action.

United States Grand Jury Fin
ishes Work at Boise.
BIG BANKERS ON THE LIST
Indictments Returned Charge Con
spiracy to Defraud Government,
. Subornation of Perjury
and Perjury-
BOISE, Idaho. July 13. The special
United States grand Jury, Investigating
land frauds in the Lewiston district,
concluded Its work today. Seven in
dictments were returned today, making1
eight in all. Of those returned today
two were for conspiracy to defraud the
United States. They were found under
section 5440, revised statutes.
It Is the understanding that George
Kester and Frank W. Kettenbach,
bankers of Lewiston, are two men af
fected by thoso Indictments, but noth
ing has been officially made public on
that point. Of the other Indictments,
two were for subornation of perjury
and three for perjury. William Dwyer,
who formerly acted for the state, as
sisting in selecting lands, is believed
to be one of the persons indicted for
subornation of perjury.
The case of Ivan Cornell, Indicted
for perjury, was called up and the de
fendant was given until August 1 . to
plend at Moscow.
While no official Information Is given
out, it Is certain that George F. Kester
and F. W. Kettenbach. the Lewiston
bankers, are among those who have
been indicted, and it is the belief that
they will be called upon to face the
conspiracy charge. The great point
supporting this belief Is that all the
evidence that was secured for pre
sentation to the grand Jury has focused
on the two Lewiston men named.
In a general way, the charge against
them is that they furnished the money
that enabled go-betweens to secure
through the filings of stool-pigeons
large and valuable tracts of timber
land. The trend of what is known of
the evidence by reason of statements
made by witnesses points to the Lewis
ton bankers being charged with con
spiracy, the go-between with suborna
tion of perjury and the men who did
the filing with perjury, there being four
of the latter, including Ivan Cornell,
who was the first man Indicted.
It also developes that William Dwyer,
a former assistant state land selector,
was under Investigation by the grand
Jury, and as he has been charged for
some time with being a go-between, in
the alleged Kester-Kettenbach trans
actions. It is the impression that he,
too. has been Indicted.
At the time Mr. Dwyer was select
ing timber lands for the state. It is al
leged he was acting in a dual capacity,
reserving choice selections In the in
terest of private Individuals and se
lecting Inferior tracts for the state.
This accusation was made long before
there was any thought of an Investi
gation by the Government. Bench war
rants for those indicted will be issued
in the next few days.
