Lewis and Clark Fair.
WANT THE ENTIRE FLOOR
Commissioners Say They Can
Fill Foreign Building. .
THE PAVILION MAY BE BUILT
Nearly All the Foreign Countries Ex
hibiting at St. Louis Will Send
Displays to the Oregon Cenr
tennial Next Year.
ST. IdTJIS, Aug. 6. (Speclal.)-The de
termination of the Japanese to foster
American friendship and Introduce them
selves thoroughly to the people of this
country has again been strikingly Illus
trated by the commissioners from Japan
to the St Louis Exposition, -who, It Is
stated by Colonel Henry E. Dosch, the
St. Louis representative of the Lewis
and Clark Centennial at Portland next
year, havo asked for the entire floor
space of the foreign building at the Ex
position of 1903.
When It is explained that nearly all of
the foreign countries now participating In
fit. Louis have promised to send part of
their exhibits to the Pacific Coast next
year, . and that all of the exhibits from
foreign countries will be housed under
one roof, the nature of the request made
by the Japanese commissioners may be
better understood.
Although Colonel Dosch, as director of
exhibits at Portland, was forced to tell
the commissioners that he could not
grant them all the space in the building,
be states that he will prpbably erect a
special Japanese pavilion for them. This
ias never been broached at the meetings
of the Exposition managers, but Colonel
Bosch says that from present Indications
it will have to be done.
"I -was very much surprised," he said,
"at the request of the commissioners
here, and told them that they could not
use all that space, but they replied so
earnestly that they could that I -was
forced to consider the proposal seriously."

NEWS BIG LOS
Bourse Gazette Gets Story
From Liao Yang.
SLAUGHTER OF THE JAPANESE
Attacking Force Said to Have Been
Frightfully Cut Up by Artillery .
of the Russians, Who
:. Retreat.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 6. A dispatch
to the Bourse Gazette from Liao Yang
says that another great battle has been
fought in the neighborhood of Houtelatze,
on the railroad about 14 miles west of tho
Liao Yang, in which the Japanese losses
are estimated to have been from 10,000 to
13,000 and the Russian losses insignificant.
The dispatch to the Bourse Gazette,
which Is dated Thursday evening, saye:
"There has been fierce fighting Tuesday,
Wednesday and today. The Japanese
made a vigorous attack on the center of
the Russian position at Houtsiatze. Tho
enemy was 54 battalions strong, 36 of
which were regular troops and the bal
ance reserve men. General Kuroki em
ployed the reserve men in the attack,
while the regulars carried out the feints
intended to delude the Russians. The re
serve men attacked, with desperation.
Their ranks were decimated by the Rus
sian fire each time they advanced, but
the vacancies were quickly filled up with
fresh men.
"The Russians ultimately slowly retired
to suitable positions, whence they Inflict
ed great losses on the Japanese by heavy
artillery fire. The Japanese losses are
estimated at 10,000 to 13.000 men. The
Russian losses were comparatively Insig
nificant." Military officers think it unlikely that
General Kuropatkln Is giving battle at
Lfao Yang, since this would Involve the
abandonment of the stores, totaling mil
lions of pounds, accumulated there, and
"would be almost as bad as a general de
feat.
Explains the Gazette Dispatch.
ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 6 (5:45 P. M.)
The Liao Y'ang dispatch to the Bourse
Gazette Is believed to refer to the .fight
Ing of July 30. July 31 and August 1. The
War Office has not received any reports
erf later fighting.
GARRISON IS GROWING LESS.
Question of a Short Time Before Port
Arthur Must Fall.
CHEFOO. Aug 6 (3 P. M.). "Port Ar
thur certainly will fall Inside of one or
two months, depending on how fast the
Japanese move."
This opinion was expressed today by an
educated Russian who hag-just arrived
here from Port Arthur by junk. Ho had
15 companions, and the party left the
Russian stronghold six days ago.
The Russian who voiced the foregoing
opinion occupied an important semiofficial
position at Port Arthur, and his views
are regarded as valuable. He says that,
while the Japanese constantly receive re
inforcements, every Russian casualty de
creases the defensive efficiency of the
garrison, as the Russians cannot be rein
forced. General Stocssel, Commander-in-Chief
at Port Arthur, is compelled to
husband his ammunition. He can manu
facture shells, but It is Impossible to
make proper explosives. The necessity
of protecting the men for the final stand
explains the retreat of the Russians from
the strong outpost positions, where their
losses were far less serious than those
sustained by the assailants.
According to this Russian, General
Stoessel Is in daily communication with
General Kuropatkln.
FRENCH AGENT ARRESTED.
Protest at Niu Chwang Brings Him
Trouble With the Japanese.
PARIS. Aug. 7. The Matin's corre
spondent at Niu Chwang says that the
French Consular Agent there was ar
rested, August 3, by the' Japanese, in
consequence "o his vigorous protest
against the detention of two sailors who
claimed French protection." The agent
notified the American Consul, who, how
ever, was unable to Intervene, but sent
information of the agent's arrest to the
French Consul at Tientsin.
Yinkow Port Not Safe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Mr. Grlscom,
the American Minister at Toklo, has noti
fied the State Departmont that the Commander-in-Chief
of tho Japanese forces In
Manchuria deems it necessary that for
eign war vessels should neither enter Yin
kow nof the River Liao, nor anchor
therein until order has been entirely re
stored in that region.
This notice Is made necessary by tho
fact that the waters of the lower Liao
River adjacent to Yinkow, which Is the
port of Niu Chwang, and the approaches
thereto were1 thickly planted with subma
rine mines by the Russians.

"WERELESS" Iff PRACTICE.
How the Invention Is Utilized In the
Far East.
Revievs of Reviews.
According to advices from tho operators
of the De Forest wireless System In Chi
nese and Japanese waters, there Is an
unending train of wireless signals going
on day and night in that vicinity. The
signals of the Russians and tho Japanese,
and especially of the latter, can be heard
at all hours, these nations, In common
with all others, using In telegraphy a
modification of tho Morse telegraph al
phabet. The telegraph alphabet used by
the Russians contains 30 characters: that
of the Japanese Is said to contain 40
characters, while the American Morse
contains but 26 characters. But, apart
from the difference in tho alphabets, the
belligerents use cipher codes which ren
der their communications unintelligible to
outsiders, even If they were otherwise
readable.
The Do Forest wireless station In North
China from which the wireless war news
Is cabled to Europe Is situation on a cliff
somewhat east of Wcl Hal Wei. The
height of the vertical wire used Is about
150 feet, which Is also the height of the
station above sea level. The Chinese
steamship Halmun, which was chartered
by the London Times for news-gathering
by wireless telegraphy, has a vertical
wire about 95 feet high. The transmit
ting and receiving apparatus employed at
Wei Hal Wei and on the Haimun are
practically Identical, and the operating
rooms virtually correspond to those of
the Panama and Port Llmon stations.
Messages were freely sent to and from
the boat at distances ranging from 10 to
150 miles. The signals could bo heard at
greater distances from the boat to tho
shore than contrariwise, the rolling of the
boat at times Interfering with the recep
tion of signals. At the time, of Russia's
announcement that correspondents em
ploying wireless telegraphy In the war
zone would be treated as spies, the Hal
mun was on the Corean coast, and those
on board were promptly Informed of the
Interesting situation by wireless teleg
raphy. This vessel has had several Interesting
experiences. One day .last April, when
the Halmun was within 12 mles of Port
Arthur and 3 miles from Wei Hal Wei,
on the lookout for war news,, she was
.held up by a shot across her bows from
the Russian warship Bayan. Not know
ing "what might happen, Captain James,
the correspondent "of the London Times
on the Halmun, sent a wireless dispatch
to Wei Hal Wei, notifying that station
that they were about to be boarded by
officers of the Russian battleship Bayan.
"If you do not hear from us In three
hours." said the message, "notify Com
missioner, Captain of British gunboat
Leviathan and London Times." There
was some natural anxiety 'to know If the
message had been received, but presently
all anxiety was relieved by the welcome
signal "O. K." ''from the Wei Hal Wei
operator. In a short time a reply came
stating that the Commissioner and the
Commander of tho British fleet at Wei
Hal Wei had been properly notified, and
that from the window of the operating
room it could be seen that the' fleet wa3
getting up steam "and that," added the
operator, "is no dream." Two Russian
officers boarded the Halmun', Inspected
the wireless apparatus, and. took a copy
of the last message sent. In the midst
of their inspection 'the officers were hur
riedly recalled to the Bayan by appar
ently excited signals from- that ship,
which Immediately returned ,to Port Ar
thur. It was surmised by those on the
Haimun, - as an explanation of their
hasty return, that the Russians had de
tected Japanese wireless signals. On the
other- hand. It is quite possible that the
Bayan' s wireless operator may also have
received the messages sent from the Hal
mun and from WelxHal Wei relative to
the boarding of the Halmun, and this,
for prudential reasons, may havo occa
sioned the hasty recall of the boarding
officers. On this point it may be noted
that while the ether Itself transmits all
forms of electric waves Impartially, It Is
quite within the probabilities that some
characteristic In the metned of transmis
sion, or some peculiarity of code used
by one vessel or fleet, might after a lit
tle experience bo quickly recognized by
oher fleets, and In this way the presence
of friend or enemy could be recognized
without a regular message.

Saying Good-Bye.
Jackson (Mich.) Patriot,
The following delightful episode took
placo on Sunday night. Just about tho
time every one wanted a ticket. Two de
lightful feminine creatures met by the rail
and exchanged greetings, naturally. After
they had talked three minutes they went
on like this, meanwhile tho .awaiting lino
getting warm under the collar:
"I saw Henry last night Good-bye."
"Oh, did you? Good-bye.'
"Yes. He sent his love. Good-bye."
"Well, that's nice. Good-bye."
"He wants you to come over some time!
Good-bye."
"Oh, how delightful! Good-bye."
Four dozen more good-byes were passed,
and at last a traveling man shored thorn,
.to one side.
"Exasperating brute!" was all that one
jostled damsel said, as she moved away.
"Needn't have been so Impatient," said
the other. "Besides, I had a lot more to
say to her.'

PE-RU-NA CONQUERS DISEASE
Mr. Henry E. Moss, No. 73 Congres
street, Troy, N. Y., Deputy Grand Chief
Ranger, Foresters of America, writes:
"Ttto years aco I suffered vrlth a
kidney trouble. I was a physical -wreck",
and life looked very gloomy, but Pe
runn came to my relief 'nnd made a new
ixmn of me, and now life looks -very
different, and I gladly testify to the
merits of Perunn, hoping that some one
Trho Is afflicted will read this and be
cured." Henry E. 3Ioss.
A person who has chronic catarrhal
difficulties and has not given Poruna a
rair trial is unfortunate indeed. To be
afflicted with chronic catarrh and not
try Peruna Is as foolish as to have the
old-fashioned chills and fever and re
fuse to try quinine, or to have a broken
bone and not allow the doctor to set It.
Peruna has come to be so universally
recognized as a specific cure for ca
tarrhal affections, acute or chronic, that
It is amazing that any one should con
tinue to suffer on with such a persistent
malady, neglecting to take a remedy
that is sure.

THEN EVERYBODY QUITS EVEN
Democratic Campaign Is Confined to
Personal Attacks on Roosevelt
Strenuous Stroll Across Coun
' try With Cabinet Members.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 5. Under the circumstances
the Democrats ought to put up a game
fight this FalU They have placed the
management of their campaign in the
hands of the owner of anotorlous gambling-house,
and have named as their
Vice-Presidential nominee a man who Is a
confirmed pokerplayer. .
The news comes from Elklns, W. Va.,
the home of Henry G. Davis, that Judge
Parker's running mate Is a confirmed
pokerplayer. Seldom an evening passes
that this octogenarian falls to round out
his day with a quiet game among his fam
ily and frlend3. It has been a part of
Senator Davis' llfo for many years to
devoto an hour each evening to tho great
American game, and if he should be elect
ed to the Vice-Presidency, it Is predicted
that poker will be even more In vogue In
official Washington than It Is today, If
such a thing Is possible.
At 10 o'clock each evening, at the Davis
home, business affairs are put aside, a
pack of cards are brought forth, and with
them a box of chips. The game runs
merrily along until 11. After the stroke
of the hour, five jackpots are played, and
then the game closes. At the Davis table
white chips are worth a quarter, and
others In proportion, and the amount of
money that would change hands In an
evening would bo large If real money was
played for. As It Is, everybody quits even.
It is said by his friends that Mr. Davis
has never staked a cent on a card game,
but plays with as much zest as If money
were involved. The Davis poker parties,
in order to become popular In Washing
ton, would have to be changed somewhat.
It Is feared, for a tame game, with noth
ing to lose and nothing to gain, does not
appeal to statesmen and lawmakers In the
National capital.
To Queer the Quaker Vote.
As far as possible the Democrats are
going to confine their campaign this year
to attacks on Roosevelt. It was predicted
many weeks ago that Theodore Roosevelt
would be the paramount Issue of the cam
paign. Recent events have sustained that
prediction. For several weeks past Demo
cratic leaders In New York and In Wash
ington have employed men to go over all
the writings of Theodore Roosevelt from

Mr. Georg-e Livingston, a prominent

"I do not hesitate when I see a- friend
or acquaintance suffering; from a cold
that is stubborn nnd threatening: to be
come chronic, to recommend Perunn. It
relieved me from a Ions: and distress

ter Bay, and to pick out everything upon
which can be hinged criticism, no matter
how remote.
To show the extremes to which the
Democrats havo been driven, they have
culled out of his "Life of Thomas H. Ben
ton" a brief paragraph, in which occurs
the phrase, "A Quaker may be quite as
undesirable a - citizen as a duelist." On
this simple declaration, the Democratic
Congressional Committee Is working up a
lot of frothy literature for distribution In
Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania,
In the hope of turning the "Quaker vote"
against Roosevelt- Associated with tho
'Quakers are the Dunkards and Mennon
ltes, the latter being particularly plentiful
In Indiana. By means of nasty literature,
and misrepresentation of the position of
the President, the Democrats will try to
turn the voters of these three sects
against the Republican ticket, In the hope
of improving Democratic chances In In
diana and Illinois. They merely expect to
cut down Republican majorities in Ohio
and Pennsylvania.
Speeches by the Ton
For the past six weeks the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee has
been sending out speeches from its head
quarters in Washington, at the rate of
75,000 copies a day. The quantity of cam
paign literature shipped dally Is soon to
be increased to 250,000 copies, and this
daily output will be maintained until the
campaign is well advanced, and Demo
cratic literature has been pretty thorough
ly distributed over the country. Repre
sentative John Sharp Williams' speeches
on -the tariff and Canadian reciprocity
have been distributed generally over the
country.
Representative Claud Kitchen's speech
attacking President Roosevelt has also
been given wide circulation, especially In
New York, and Senator Gorman's ar
raignment of President Roosevelt for his
alleged "usurpation of legislative author
ity," and Gorman's criticism of the Re
publican Administration because of the
corruption that has been brought to light
In the Postofflce Department, has also
been given general circulation. The Brls
tow report attacking members of tho
House has not' been overlooked. Several
Republican Congressmen criticised In that
report will have to explain to their con
stituents who read portions of that report
that are sent Into their districts by tho
Democrats.
In some Instances the Democrats havo
combined several speeches In a single
pamphlet. For instance Senator Bacon's
tariff speech Is combined with tariff
speeches of Representatives Llnd and Sul
livan, and personal assaults on Presi
dent Roosevelt by Representatives
Patterson, Fitzgerald and Kitchen are
combined in another document. Other
speeches are to be sent out later, and at
tention will be given to localities to sup
ply matter that will most likely appeal to
readers.
Stroll With the President.
President Roosevelt has been giving hia
new Cabinet officers an idea of what the
"strenuous life" really Is. Only a few
days after his return from Oyster Bay the
Chief Executive invited Secretary Morton,
of tho Navy Department, and Secretary
Metcalf, of Commerce and Labor, to ac
company him on a stroll through the
country after office hours. Accordingly
the new secretaries presented themselves
at the White House promptly at 4:30, and
were driven with the President to a point
in the country about seven miles from
home. When they reached a spot suffi
ciently remote to suit the President, ho
and his guests alighted, the driver was
dismissed, and the carriage sent home.
-We will walk, now," said Mr. Roose
velt, and putting his Intention Into effect;
he started homeward down the dusty road,
at a stiff, cross-country gait Trailing be
hind were the two Cabinet, officers. The
route, picked out by the President led
over hills and dales, through thickets and
down well-trodden roads; over rocks and
through creeks. It was a typical cross
country run, with an abundance of bar
riers thrown In.
At times the President's companions
were within hailing distance; at other
times they were In the also-ran class.
The trio reached the city about
dark, .the President bright and fresh as
when he had started, but his companions
well tuckered out. It was their first ex
perience with the strenuous President,
and they are both willing to admit that
tho term has been well applied to Presi
dent Roosevelt.

J "However, Peruna soon proved to mo

The day was when men of prominence
hesitated to give their testimonials to
proprietary medicines for publication.
This remains true today of most pro
pjetary medicines. But Peruna has be

known to so many people of high and
low stations, that no one hesitates to
see . his name in print recommending;
Peruna.
Peruna Is of National fame as a ca

When Slowcurve Got Gay.

As Slowcurve was walking with his
wife through West Twelfth street a
baseball bounded from the asphalt
pavemqnt and narrowly missed a plant
Mrs. Slowcurve was carrying homo.
"The little Imps," she exclaimed an
grily. "They deserve a good whipping-."
"Nonsense," retorted Slowcurve. "I
used to do the same thing myself. Boys
must play ball somewhere.'
"Throw It up, mister," shouted a lad
half a block away.
Slowcurve picked up the ball and
walked to the middle of the street with
It. He swung his arms and facetiously"
went through the motions of a leaguo
pitcher.
"Come away from there," pleaded
Mrs. Slowcurve. "Roll that ball back,
without making an Idiot of yourself."
"Let her come, mister," yelled the boy.
One more sweep of the arm and
Slowcurve let go tho ball. There wa3
a crash of glass. The ball disappeared
Inside the front window of a boarding
house and the boys disappeared around
the corner.
"That will cost you three dollars!"
shouted an Irate woman, coming: to the
front door. "I was watching; you from
the window. As If It Isn't bad enough
to have the boys playing in the streets,
without a great, big lummux like you
encouraging them. Your wife ought
to keep you home."
