ENGLAND With the Vessels Now Xearlns Com pletion, SUe Will Be Ahle to Defy the Russian Fleet. LONDON, Jan. 27. Some of the after- noon papers associate the departure of the new Japanese ship Shliishma with pDSslhe comnl-cation in regard to the situation in China, especially as it is announced the Shkishma will endeavor to traverse the Suez canal by divesting herself of her arm tment Up to the present no ship of such size has traversed the canal. The Interpretation that the departure was directly due to the situation in China is Incorrect as the Associated Press learns "tcday that the date set for the sailing was decided on many weeks ago. and a fare well party was held on board of her pre vious to the deposition of the emperor of China. But. though this Incident was given exaggerated importance in the afternoon papers, the Associated Press is able to Bay that those in England most cognizant of the secret aims of Japan, especially those who are fulfilling her naval con tracts, have for some time past thor oughly believed she meditated striking a b'ow at Russia. If this Impression is cor rect, and there Is the highest and most conservative authority on -which to base it. It is not unlikely that Japan's hand may be forced and her Intended coup be attempted before her plans are completed. It may be that Japan only meditates for the present to prevent Russia from ac complishing the designs which various correspondents have credited her with since the change in China's emperor. Two powerful war vessels built for Japan on the Clyde will soon be ready to sail, -while others are under course cf rapid construction. Their strength has not attracted much 'attention, but their importance as international factors can be judged from a. statement made to a representative of the Asspciated Press by one of England's greatest shipbuilders, "who declared the vessels building for Japan were the most powerful in the world, and could destroy the best Brit ish ships in 15 minutes. Several of Ja pan's vessels in course of construction would have been completed before now, had not Japan encountered financial dif ficulties. The British builders would not let the vessels sail until paid for in cash. To accomplish this. Japan Induced a syn dicate of English bankers to advance the money, and their action has been the sub ject of a good deal of private criticism in the Inner admiralty circles, when it was realized what tremendous naval power Japan was accumulating, and, though Great Britain's strength was npt impaired, it was thought Inadvisable for P.-itish capitalists, to assist materially Japan to become a. dangerous rival. A well-known naval, expert tells a rep resentative of the Associated Press that if Japan puts in commission the ships scheduled for service In the near future, she will be ready for war within six months, and can then defy Russia, and as the Japanese and Russian ships at present in the far East compare, Japan's fleet would have an excellent chance of controlling the situation. ASSUMPTIOXIST FATHERS' TRIAL. "SCfcje 53n?!a) 3CrcnV oTTtlieWeek In Paris. PARIS, Jan. 27. The trial of the As sumptionist Fathers has injected some l.fe u.to an otherwise prosaic political wclIc The prosecution of the Fathers is bel.cvcd to be the beginning of a govern ment campaign against reactionary cler ic.i...sm, which recently has too openly entered the political arena. The ordf-r of the Assumptionists, redoubtable for the asce&c life of its members, which with its large revenues, has permitted tlie accu mulation of great wealth, according to the government supporters, has been main ly used to undermine the republic They have not accepted defeat, and have de cided to appeal against their conviction. An outburst of protests in the radical press has been caused by what looks like apparent lack of tact on the part of Cardinal Richard, the archbishop of Paris, in -visiting the Fathers and expressing his sorrow at their conviction, and thus open ly encouraging them. The radicals de mand that the government take some ac tion against Cardinal Richard for his overt Identification with so-called illegal asso ciations. A special dispatch to the Temps from Rome says: "'According to information from the best sources, the Vatican, though regretting the conviction of the Assump. tior.ists, would have preferred that Cardi nal Richard had not made the visit by whlch the en'emles of religion might profit. Had Pope Leo been consulted. Cardinal Rirhard would not have made the visit, which was kind, but not politic" Tl nationalist organs denounce the government for Its prosecution of political opponents, which, they declare, was the Bole motive for the trial. The result of the trial furnished the most exciting session of the chamber of deputies since its reopening. A string of deputies rose for the purpose of re pudiating the statements of the public prosecutor at the trial that they were aided at their elections by the Assump tionists. Scurrilous anathemas were launched at the head of the public prose cutor, and the unfortunate minister of public worship, M. Monis, which resulted in the spectacular expulsion of M. Ber nard. Though there have been many ex citing scenes in the chamber, this was the first time since the Dreyfus agitation that the military has been summoned to exnel a deputy. If this succession of Indignant disclaimers was intended to create a wave of feeling against the government in the chamber, it failed utterly, and only elicit ed a vote, which gave fresh proof of the strength of the government. Repealed affirmations hy a large section of the Fiench press that the Britl h j ngoes and the Chamberlain clique in the cab inet had determined to pick a Quarrel with Frcnce in order to recover the prestige Great Britain had lost in Europe by her reverses in South Africa, and that Mada gascar would be the first point of attack, have received what is regarded here as a confirmation in the announcement that the givcrament has decided to dispatch 5003 troops there, and to form a fortified camo and arsenal at Diego Suarlez. The gov ernment explains that this move has no sp rial significance, but 1s merely a part of tho already announced plan of fortify ing the colonies. It is denied that it has ary connection whatever with Great Br t an. iimitn oesigns m -Yiacagascar and her 1 rumored intention to provoke war sooner or laxer, is not merely a constant cry of "wolf" in Awglophobe papsrs. but is un doub edly beeoxing an arJcle cf faith wi h the mass of the French people. The composition of the body of troops destined for Madagascar makes an Innova tion in the system of reinforcing the colo nies. Instead of sending French troops. Algerian and Soudanese sharpshooters have been forwarded. The hatred of Dreyfus has not yet sub sided in some quarters. The nationalist press has been attacking the government for having suppressed, illegally, it is al leged, the publication of the judgment of the Rennes court-martial. Marquis de Gal Lfet, the minister of war, has yielded by having the sentence posted at Rennes this wnek In the following form: Dreyfus, Alfred; volunteer, captain probationer on the general staff; high trea son, ten years detention and military degradation without interdiction of resi dence." . - The Dreyfusards axe very angry at the i form pf the announcement..

Smith, of Grant's Pass, who has been, prominently mentioned as a candidate for the republican congressional nomination in the first district, is not a new figure in Oregon politics. He has taken an active part in every campaign since he became a voter. Only once has he been a candidate .for office. In 1802 the populists swept Josephine county, and in 1894 no one could be Induced to taRe the republican nomination for representative. Just when it seemed as if the populists must win the election Tjy default, Mr. Smith accepted the nomina tion, dc??lte the remonstrances of his friends. In the face of a populist plurality of 3C0, Mr. Smith entered upm his campaign, and directed his fight against the free-silver craze. When the votes were counted It was found that the entire republican tlcltet haa been elected and the county redeemed from populism. In the Icglrlature of 1805 Mr. Smith gave his support to Senator Dolph and voted for him to the end. He preferred Senator Dolph to all other candidates, because of the senator's firm ctand for the gold standard. He held the senatorial contest to be a fight for principle, and that Individuality should cut no figure. At this ces sion Mr. Smith was secretary cf the republican caucus, chairman of the committee on railways end a member of the Judiciary and mining- committees. A forcible and ready speaker, he coon acquired a reputation as an orator, and alwajs comma'nded the attention of the house." In lSUO he was the republican nominee for state tenator from, his district. Many republicans In the district were anxious tor the re-election cf Senator Mitchell, but, as Mr. Smith could not work In harmony with them, he withdrew from the ticket. Mr. Smith," who is 33 years old, la a native Orcgonlan. Hf was TibrnJ at Jackconvllle, and has always lived In the state. He was educated In the public schools of Jacksonville, and lert school when he was 13 years eld. He was admitted to the bar in IsiSo, and has built up a larce practice.

DIET OF FINLAND. . Cxar's Speech Rend, Promising Meas ures of Relief. HELSINGFERS, Finland, Jan. 27. The czar's speech, which was read at the opening of the diet today, explained that it was intended to take measures to meet the recent misfortunes in Finland, the principal of which was the failure of the crops, thus causing large emigration. As a means to check emigration, measures will be taken to place people not pos sessed of property in a position to ac quire land. Questions not connected with these subjects, the spsech says, should not be discussed in the diet, and the dis cussions will raise a doubt as to whether the constitution of Finland is compatible with existing conditions. After the readincr of the speech the presidents of the four estates replied. The representatives of the nobles dwelt upon the importance which the people attached to self-government, which they regarded as a necessity of life. . i Russian Movements Jn Turkestan. ST.

The Noonday Mining Company, of Bohemia, has suspended operations in its mine and mill till about the 1st of April: .The plant was shut down yesterday. There is two tn three feet Of snow at the mlnp nnw which does not seriously hinder the work- ing of the mine. The object in shutting down Is stated to be to prepare for a very extended system of work. There is a project in view to tap the old Annie mine 1000 feet below the surface. To do this a tunnel about a half-mile long will be driven. The approximate cost of this will be S3 a foot.

Admiral Wat son has cabled the navy department an account o"f. the part taken by the navy in the splencQd campaign now being made in Southern Luzon by General Schwatt. ments, , which took place along the" eas lnl5U'h" I ?" ?L Jar week ago. There is no outlet irom Lake Taal into the sea navigable for warships, but the Marietta took up a posit on close to the narrow neck of land which sep- arates the lake from the sea, and threw shells across into the Insurgents' defenses. . The admiral's account of the affair is as j follows: j "The Marietta, with Gheen commanding, on the 19th co-operated with the army in the capture of Taal. Enfiladed the insur gent trenches at about 1600 yards. Lieu tenant Price landed with a Colt gun.

THE URDANETTA AFFAIR. Capture of the Gnnhont Described hy Two Men Who Escaped. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. The navy de partment has made public reports from Coxswain Green and Apprentice Powers, members of the crew of the Ill-fated Ur danetta, describing the capture of that boat by the Filipinos last September. In indorsing the reports Admiral Watson says they show that the little gunboat, under command of the late Naval Cadet Wood, was gallantly defended, and was captured only because she was hard and fast aground. Captain Wilde adds to his Indorsement the following: "The conduct of Mr. Wood artd of the entire crew under the terrible fire Is praiseworthy to the last degree, and re flects additional luster upon the brilliant record of the United States navy." Green, in his report, says that the Ur danetta grounded about a quarter of a mile below Betanga, on the Orani river, about 10 o'clock A. M., Sunday, Septem ber 17. All hands were sitting around the deck, playing cards or reading, waiting for the tide, when, at 3:30 o'clock, two vol leys were fired from the shore, almost raking the deck. Most of the ammuni tion was below, but at Cadet Wood's order the men manned the guns and smothered the enemy's fire in about 15 minutes. tone. the. mat at : the Nor"cl6nfeicU had boSn shfit ,twlc when He was relieVeS W Wood, wh6 had beefi firing the eh& poundef.

Tlie lnetu'-' gents had reopened fire from concealed places and the bullets were flying like hall ! when the boat got .away, carrying, tlie sailors who could not swim, while those who could hung on to the gunwale. The Filipinos doubled their fire and rushed into the river after the boat. The oarsmen were hit until finally only ono was left, bo the men started to swim ashore, leaV' Ing Wood dead In the bottom of the boat. Stone and Drummcnd were fihot close to the boat and Gray had been killed In the boat. Green was helping Herbert ashore and. Powers was trying to save himself. As soon as they reached the beach, 25 bolo men rushed at them, but their cap tain prevented ihetn from killing the sail ors. They killed the Chinege servant.

However, more of 'a rush is ex pected toward the later days. If the vast number of men in the city having ample time to visit the registration office about this time would do so at their con venience, the final rush might be avoided.

Salt Lake Tribune. The New York Evening Post notes by a Pretoria dispatch that President Kruger is .writing to his generals of the fight: "I" am searching the entire Bible, and can find no other way than that adopted by us." Whereupon the Post thinks that "He seems strangely to have overlooked the passage, 'Or what king as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel wheth er he Is able with 10,000 to meet him that cometh against him with 20,000? Or else while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an embassage and asketh con ditions of peace.' " Possibly Uncle Kruger has been making some figures of his own. whereby he has said: "If one of my Boers can go behind a rock and shoot 10 Englishmen, 30,000 of my Boers can do the same thing; jind before that 300,000 are killed, her majesty, Victoria. will be weary and want to make terms."

A MAIL CLERK'S EXPERIENCE And What Came of It. The occupation of a railway mall clerk is peculiarly arduous, and unwholesome, long hours of work requiring the closest attention, nearly always standing, con fined in a stuffy car, as well as the con tinual vibration of rapid motion, make this occupation an undesirable one from a health standpoint. A railway mail clerk on tho Michigan Central, running between Detroit and Chi cago, says: "In common with many of my fellow-employes, I suffered for some yeaTs from an" obstinate attack of piles, brought on, my physicians told me, by my occupation, the close confinement in a car and' being obliged to stand on my feet for hours together; the pain at times was al most unbearable-, and I was obliged to resort to the use of ointments and salves to give a temporary relief while I got through with my work. I suffered so long from piles that I really had little hope of any such thing as a permanent cure, and although I had very often noticed the advertisement of the Pyramid Pile Cure, yet I never thought seriously of trying it until one day, after suffering more than usual, I dropped Into a drug store and bought a 50c package. I tried it that night, and the complete relief from pain and itching was delightful. I expected to be as bad as ever the next day, as this had been my usual experience with pile remedies, but I was agreeably disappoint ed. I used the Pyramid for some 10 days or two weeks, and for nearly four years have not had the slightest trouble from piles, and consider my cure as little short of marvelous." The Pyramid Pile Cure Is the most pop ular and successful of any pile cure; it Is the only pile cure that Is sold by every druggist In the United States and Canada. Furthermore, the Pyramid Pile Cure has been before the public for nine years, and has been tested time and again by hundreds of physicians and by thousands of pile sufferers, and Its remarkable merit has been demonstrated in every form of piles, protruding, itching or bleeding.

I held a very fine position at that time, which I gave up at a great sacrifice, and did as he advised. I stayed away until I seemed entirely well, but just as soon as winter set in my trouble returned and I suffered worse than ever. "My head was stopped up and I had headache all the time. My throat was dry and sore and I had a distressing cough, accompanied by pains In the chest and a soreness through the left lung. After I went to bed there would be a tick ling in the throat, which set me to cough ing. The air passages seemed to contract and close up. I would sit up in bed, sometimes the greater part of the night, coughing and gasping for breath. I often thought I would choke before I could get relief. After coughing until I was completely exhausted I would raise a lot of stringy mucus, which gave me relief, but the next night It was the same old story. Under this suffering and loss of sleep I lost flesh and strength. "I had doctored until I had but little confidence In doctors or medicine, but this fall, on the urgent advice of a friend, who was personally acquainted with the great success of the Copeland treatment In cases like mine, I decided to make one more effort for relief, for I felt I could not spend another winter In suffering and misery. I began to Improve from the first and now feel as well as I ever did in my life. The winter is almost over now and although I have been out In all kinds of weather, I have not had one bit of trouble.

Even my own voice sounded far off. People had to spealc right into my ears to make me hear. I was nearly distracted with a ringing and buzzing and sounds like the roar of "the ocean In my ears. I couldn't eat or sleep and was weak and nervous. The Copeland physicians cured me com- nietely. I have no more rheumatism and ! hear nearly as well as I ever did in my life.
