OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug:. 27. The National Lewis
.and Clark Exposition Board will hold
-a meeting Mon'day with a view to or
ganizing: formally and appointing: com
mittees. An executive committee will
be elected, and Chairman Hill will ap
point four other committees, one on the
allotment of funds and. space, another
on installation and decoration, a third
on freight and transportation, and a
fourth on by-laws.
As the plans for the Government
buildings are nearing completion and
will soon be ready for advertisement.
It Is necessary that these committees
bo appointed, especially that on allot
ment of funds, which will have super
vision of the payments for work on the
Government buildings. This commit
tee must also make known the space
the ,varlus departments which are- to
exhibit In the Government buildings
will be allowed.
The committee on freight 'and trans
portation will be charged directly with
the removal of the Government exhib
its from St. Louis and other points to
Portland, and superintending their safe
return After the close, of the Exposi
tion. For the present, the committee on in

rules fbr the guidance 'of the' Govern
ment board, which will probably pre
scribe regular monthly meetings until
after the close of the Exposition. .
It is expected that President Roose
velt will, before long, appoint a dis
bursing agent for the Exposition,
through whose hands all payments for
work on the buildings, transportation,
installation and care of exhibits will be
made. It is the present intention to
combine the offices of disbursing agent
and chief clerk, and appoint to this
place Andrew Geddes, who is disburs
ing agent for the St. Louis Exposition.
This office -will carry a salary of prob
ably $2000 per annum.
The Mint Bureau was advised 'this
morning that Philadelphia mint has
completed the coinage of the first 25,
000 Lewis and Clark souvenir dollars.
Immediately a telegram was sent to
Director Goode notifying him that as
soon as he deposits $25,000 "with the
Treasury,, these coins will be turned
over to h'lm.
(Yesterday afternoon the Lewis and
Clark Corporation sent a check for 525,000
to the United States' Treasurer in pay
ment .for the first lot of souvenir dollars
to bo made at the mint. The coins will be'
shipped, to Portland during the week and
will be sold at $2 each, netting the com
pany practically $25,000. It' is calculated
by the managers of the Lewis and Clark
Fair that the Exposition will be able to
make $250,000 out of the total issue of
250,000 coins.)
GREAT NAVAL DOCK- WANTED
Puget Sound Yard Is Again Finding
' -Many Warm Supporters.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 27. A determined effort
will be made "again this year to induce
the Secretary of the Navy to recom
mend an appropriation for the con
structing of a second drydock at the
Puget Sound Navy-yard, of dimensions
greater than any other in this country.
It seems to be the concensus of opinion
among officers familiar with the condi
tions at Bremerton that" within a year
or two another dock will be necessary.
In order to permit the yard to carry on
all the repair work Its plant can han
dle. It is the general belief that the
new dock should be of masonry and of
sufficient size to permit of the docking
of two vessels at one time. There is
only one dock in the country today
which can accommodate two vessels,
and that is the private dock at Newport
News. Already the Navy Department
has received from Naval Constructor
H. G. Wright, of Puget Sound, a rec
ommendation that a second large dock
be constructed at that yard, and similar
recommendations have been made by
other -yard officials.
Admiral Endjcott, chief of the bureau
yards and docks in the Navy Depart
ment, strongly recommended this new
dock In his last annual report, and
says he expects to renew his recom
mendation this year. He believes the
Puget Sound yard will be seriously
handicapped, unless its docking facili
ties are Increased immediately. It is
his opinion that there is ample room
' for a tnew dock in' the present yard, al
though a year ago Secretary Moody
refused to recommend the new dock on
the ground that there was no room,
and urged the "matter be set aside until
such 'timp jis the yard were enlarged:
There" Is hope that "Secretary, Morton
-wU'-b more generous than his prede
cessor In his treatment of Puget
Sound, still it is expected that he will
recommend the purchase of additional
land for enlarging the yard. It was es
timated a- year ago that a masonry
dock of the proportions . favored by
Naval officers would cost in the neigh
borhood of $1,600,000.
FUNSTON ATTACHED TO WEST
He Would Remain at Vancouver Had
Not Williams Sent His Goods On.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 27. General Funston .to
day notified the- War Department that
he would relinquish the command of
the Department of the Columbia on
October 1 and proceed to Chicago to
take command of the Department of
the Lakes, in accordance with recent
orders. He says he would prefer to re
tain his present position at Vancouver
Barracks, Inasmuch as the War De
partment has given him preference,
but he finds that General Williams, who
was ordered to relieve "him at Vancou
ver Barracks, has already moved his
household effects to that post and. he
thinks it would bo unjust under the
circumstances to Insist upon remaining
at his present post.

. NEW YORK, Aug. 27. Mrs. Nanna
Claspy, 80 years old, was burned to
death in her bed at her son-in-law's
home, in Harlem, as a result of her
fondness for smoking a pipe. Many
efforts had been made by the family to
break the old lady's craving for to
bacco, but while her daughter and the
latter's young child were asleep and
the son-in-law was absent, she lay
down on her bed- to enjoy a smoke. The
son-in-law came in shortly and found
the apartments in flames. With great
difficulty he rescued his wife and baby.
After the firemen had extinguished the
blaze they found Mrs. Claspy's body
burned to a crisp. Apparently she had
fallen asleep and let her pipe dr,op
upon tho bed.
Among Victims of, Eden Disaster.
DENVER, Colo., Aug. 27. Miss Merce
des Marohl, a graduate nurse, 18 years

ver Police Department to aid in locating
the missing young woman.
ROBBED ON THE DESERT.
American Studerit Loses Everything
but His Suit In Land of Sahara.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Jalson Paige, a
graduate of the 'University of Chicago,
has arrived here by steamer from Naples
with a story of' robbery on the Deeert
of Sahara which caused him to make one
pf the shortest customs declarations on
record, for the reason that little was left
of his possessions to be declared dutiable.
Paige went to Africa In connection with
the survey work of the Cape to Cairo
railroad. In addition to his work he mado
a collection of curios from the various
native tribes. He also got hold of a lot
of rugs made by the natives, as well as
wild animal skins, the whole forming a
-aluable collection. He says he also made
many maps and drawings for the benefit
of science. Several months ago he took
leave of his 'companions and, accompanied
by eeveral negroes, began the Journey
through Egypt and the northeastern part
of the Saraha Into Tripoli. It was while
traversing the desert that he wa? robbed
of his valuable collection and all his ward
robe except the suit he wore.
After great privations, Paige "Says, he
managed to read the Mediterranean coast,
where. he wis picked up by a vessel and
carried to Naples.- 'There he was aided
by friends and procured -passage home.

VICTORY DEARLY EARNED
Japanese Fought With Their
Usual Desperate Courage,
PROBABLY ADVANCING AGAIN
St. Petersburg Believes Attempt to
Reach the Stronghold of Kuro
patkin's Forces Has Been
- Resumed. .
LONDON, Aug. 2S. A Central Ne-vs
dispatch from Rome says that It lit
stated on good authority that Fort
Arthur has fallen. There- Is no official
confirmation. ,
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 25, 2:29 A. M.
The report from Liao Yang of the
successful check' of the Japanese attack
on General Kuropatkln's position was
received here with the greatest satisfac
tion, and further details are anxiously
awaited.
Reports already to hand make the Rus
sian losses in maintaining the, several po
sitions in the neighborhood of .2500 men.
A long official telegram has been re
ceived at the War Office, but it does not
give a hint of what is transpiring now.
It Is more than probable, however, that
the Japanese have resumed their attempt
to reach Liao Yang. The silence on thl3
point of the special dispatches filed at
Liao Yang rather confirms this view.
The hottest fighting occured in ,the val
ley of the Lan, a small tributary of the
Taltze around Tzgaw, a place between An
Ping and Llaodlansian. General Kuro
kl's first aim apparently was to sepa
rate the two principal Russian positions
as forecasted in these dispatches August
26. Tho Russians In the valley of Laa
lost 1450 men.
General Kurokl's army advanced In
three strong columns, one northward
along tho "valley, theimMaia-trib-MjeVjaseJ.'
utary of the Tai Tse, as far as -Liao-
dlntan, whench a portion of this force
marched westward to Mlao Pass, threat
ening Anshanshan. the other portion
pushing up the stream to Tunslnpu, four
miles southward of Llaodlansian, whore
it was stopped by General Kuropatkin's
Cossacks. The second column marched
along the high road and occupied Erdahe
whence the Japanese batteries shelled
Llaodlansian, a cduple of miles north
west, until the fire of the Russian guns
silenced them. Several Japanese batteries
wero completely dismantled and were
abandoned by their gunners. .
The fighting at Tzgow was of the most
desperate description. Tho Japanese had
the advantage of mountainous country,
advancing along a ridge extending from
Tantzlaputzy to Slaollndsy. The latter
place is situated on the high road, 10
miles southeast of Liao Yang. Possession
of this point would render' Lian Dian
Slan and An Ping untenable. It is not im-
probable that General Kurokl will there
fore, repeat his attack In this direction.
The- Japanese attack was characterized
by the greatest? boldness and arouses the
belief in military circles that either
General Kurokl has received considerable
reinforcements or General Kuropatkin
has sent the greater part of his army
north, leaving only a couple of corps at
Liao Yang.
The absence of news of a Japanese
movement along the Taitz River In order
to flank Liao ' Yang confirms the latter
view, as it would expose the attackers
to being cut off by General Kuropat
kin's main army from the north. Toward
the east the battle was especially .severe.
Bayonets were used, and there the Rus
sians lost 1000 men.
SAKHAROFF DESCRIBES FIGHT
Japanese Fought With Their Usual
, Desperate Courage.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 27. The gen
eral staff has received a dispatch from
General Sakharoff, giving a long de
tailed account of the fighting of August
26. He -says that on that day the Japan
ese took the offensive along the whole
front of the Manchurian army. At an
early hour the Japanese occupied tho
railroad at Henchuantsa, Tolunchal and
Han phuan Pu, repulsing the Russian ad
vance posts. Toward noon the attack in
that quarter ceased. Before dawn tho
Japanese were concentrated against tho
Russian advance detachments of the An
shanshan position. The Japanese force
consisted of a division and a half,, with
artillery. The Russian advance ' guard
retired oh the main position. The Jap
anese attack there was not obstinate.
The Russian losses on the southern, front
were 150 men. -
A cannonade began southeastward's at
5:30 A. M., and an hour later a fusilade
was made along the whole southeastern
front by the Japanese infantry against
the right flank of the Russian position.
This attack was repulsed at 8 A. M. At
.11 A. M. a Japanese battery of 24 guns
on Tunsln Pu Hill was silenced and put
out of action by the Russian batteries,
and the Russian cavalry dispersed the
Japanese. .
At 1 P. M. the Japanese made a hot
attack against Kofyntz, and considerable
Japanese forces were discovered lri the
neighborhood of Laodlntln.
All the Japanese attacks were repulsed,
and the Russian troops, taking the of
fensive, drove the Japanese back towards
the Navlkau Valley. The Russian, losses
there were about 300.
In an eastern direction, at dawn, the
Japanese took" the offensive against the
whole front on the Russian right. The
troops retired from their advanced .posi
tion, thus hindering the action of the
artillery. The engagement at that point
was serious and became a hand-to-hand
fight. The Rpsslans, according to this re
port, lo6t about 1000 killed and wounded.
Since noon heavy rains had been fall
ing and the streams were again rising.
Japanese Attacks Simultaneous.
TOKIO.Aug. 27 (9 P. M.) It Is report
ed here that General-Oku commenced the
attack upon the Russians at Anshanshan
yesterday, at the same time that General
Kurokl commenced to attack them at An
Ping.
--(Anshanshan is midway between Hay
cheng and Liao Yang and An Ping is 13
miles southeast of Uao Yang.)
JAPANESE FORCED TO RETIRE
Russians Capture, Position Once Lost
After a Hot Fight.
LIAO YANG, Aug. 27. The action of
August 6 at Tunslnpu, four miles south
west of Liandlansian, continued a half
day, with varying success. The Japanese
occupied the" Russian' position, but wero
subsequently forced to retire. The Jap
anese batteries opened the fight at dawn
with a furious fire of shells, which de
stroyed Tunslnpu, believing mistakenly
that the village concealed a large force
of Russian reserves.
The Japanese column advanced under
severe, bombardment, but was checked by
the Burlat Cossacks, who were cohcealed
In the' fields of Chinese corn. The Buria.ts
behaved splendidly, standing off the Jap
anese attack for. three hours, but then
were forced to retire in the face of the
strong Japanese reinforcements and the
big shells thrown by the latter's how
itzers. The Russian batteries - then opened fire
for the first time, and the Russian in
fantry supporting the Cossacks" swept for
ward and reoccupied.the position, silenc
ing the Japanese guns.
The Russian losses were two officers and
SO men wounded.
RUSSIANS ARE CHEERED.
Arrival of Reinforcements Make
Them Anxious to Fight.
MUKDEN (Undated). The Associated
Press correspondent here made the rounds
of the Russian positions In front of Liao
Yang just before the Japanese began thelr
advance. The Russians, the correspond
ent says, have a semicircle of splendid po
slpns from Anshanshan to Mukden.
Fresh troops and guns are arriving con
tinuously and the Russian force Is
stronger than it has been at any previous
time since the commencement of the war.
The arrival of fresh European troops has
Increased the enthusiasm of the men, who
are. tired of retreating.
The road and the railway between Liao
Yang and Mukden are crowded with
transports o all sorts. It Is said that
Chinese regular troops assisted the ban
dits in the fight which occurred north of
Mukden, August 23. ,
It is rumored that Mraquls Oyama, Commander-in-Chief
of the Japanese, forces in
Manchuria, arrived . at Halcheng, Au

Secretary of the Treasury
Speaks at Walla.yValla,-
R00SEVELT IS A SAFE MAN
Opponents Contend He Is Not 1 Be
- cause He Does Things and Is Am
bitjous for His Country's
Peace and Prosperity.
WALLA. WALLA, "Wash., Aug. 27. (Spc-cial.;-X.eslle
M. Shaw, Secretary of the
Treasury, spoke tonight to 3000 Interested
citizens at the Courthouse Square upon
the issues of the National campaign. He
was greeted -with great enthusiasm. The
"Walla Walla" Military Band furnished mu
sic. An informal reception tendered Mr. Shaw
at the Hotel Dacres was attended by
many business men. Secretary Shaw took
dinner at Senator Ankeny's residence.
In discussing political topics tonight, Mr.
Shaw said In part:
"Perhaps few of us recognize the im
portance of a great political campaign.
Neither mathematics nor science nor state
craft are among the natural institutions
of the human mind. They must all be ac
quired, and the only time that the Ameri
can people study statecraft is during a
National fcampalgn. Self-government is
the hardest task ever yet undertaken by
man, and if the American people continue
self-government it will be because the
rank and file study the science of self
government. "You- Insist that your representatives In
Congress shall understand the proposi
tions before Congress, and you. demand
that they so vote as to best conserve your
intereslsvi -m here-Jis1JngthabyouJ
at the pons snail so -vote as to conserve
your interests. I am here to demand tho
same character, if not the same degree
of statesmanship, at the polls. as you de
mand on the floors of Congress and in the
State Legislature.
Politics Not a Squabble for Office.
"Politics Is not a. squabble for office.
Politics Is science of self-government. The
issues ofthe campaign do not have their
beginning and ending in the election of
men to office.' Candidates are usually ac
ceptable men. A political party must he
something more than an aggregation of
office-seekers. A political party ought at
least to represent some principle of self
government, and it ought to stand for the
same principles of self-government con
tinuously. "I am not unmindful of the claim made
by some of our Democratic friends' that
tho Issue shall be candidates. ThlsHs also
welcomed. They will not attack the per
sonal Integrity of Theodore Roosevelt.
..They will not attack his patriotism. They
will not attack his courage. They will not
attack his independence. They will not
attack his wisdom, measured by the re
sults of anything he has done or ought to
have done. They will not claim that his
Administration has been vacillating or
disastrous. They will only express the
opinion that the man who does things
must, of necessity, think Incorrectly, and
that the man -who Is ambitious for his
country's prosperity and for his country's
peace and safety must be. of necessity un
safe. The- logic of their argument Is that
Kthe only safe man would be some one who
could be whipped ilnto line so that.
whatever may have been his previous
views, or whatever may be his present
convictions, he is willing to acquiesce, for
the time being, in anything ho does not
think expedient to oppose;"
Party Principles the Real Issue;
"Party principles are issues, not candi
dates. Grover Cleveland was so loyal to
his party that he did not even espouse the
cause of Mr. McKlnley. He kept silent
and remained away from the polls. He
did not do this because he disliked William
Jennings Bryan, or men who had secured
his nomination, but he kept silent and
stayed away from the polls because he
would not vote for free silver. He did not
vote for William McKInIey, though
doubt not he personally admired the man,
because he did not believe in protection.
If there Is any man who is not an inde
pendent voter, thatman is Grover Cleve
land. The personality of candidates has
never been a factor in his political con
duct. He has been as loyal to principle as
any man I know.
"Loyalty to principle and statesmanship
are not synonymous terms, however,
though no man can be a statesman .who
is disloyal to principle. In this connection
I wish to say that a man may be a states
man at the polls, as well as a statesman
on the floor of Congress. You would not
expect your Congressman to vote-against
a bill because he disliked the 'man who
introduced the bill. You would, not ex
pect him to vote against the ratification of
a treaty of peace because he did not like
the Secretary of State who prepared tho
treaty. You would expect your Congress
man and your Senator to vote for things
that they believe right and true and beneficial-
to your Interest, and I am insisting
that the voter shall exercise the same
standard of statesmanship at the polls as
he expects his Congressman and Senator
to exercise in the discharge of their du
ties." . Colfax Greets Shaw.
COLFAX; Wash.; Aug. -27. The
cltl-
I
zens of Colfax were given a treat this
morning In the way of a speech on the
depot platform from Leslie M. Shaw,
Secretary of the Treasury. Fully; 500 peo
ple were present and the spealter, who
was Introduced by J. A. Perkins, re
ceived an ovation.
His remarks were directed to the farm
ers, of whom there were a number pres
ent. He told them they were the happiest
and mos.t prosperous class of people on
earth and that they should not think they
were having such a hard time. The farm
er is getting most of the money made in
this country and right now is succeeding
better than in 40 years past. The natural
question Is: "Why this prosperity?" The
speaker said;
"I answer, becauso of the home mar
ket for your products. If you had to mar
ket your wheat In Liverpool, where would
your profits come from? If It was not
for tariff what would you do? The pres
ent National policy has made you what
yQU are, because in taking care of home
markets you are given what justly be
longs to you. What have the Democrats
done for you? They have given tho coun
try free trade and you know what that-
means. We give you a hleh tariff and
revenue. Don't lose sight of this, young
men, when you. cast your first vote next
November.

ing data for the Irrigation of that im
mense territory, comprising In all over
1,000,000 acres of the finest farm land In
the state. There is little doubt this will
bo the next irrigation undertaken, and
that the actual construction work will be
gin immediately after the completion of
the great Truckee-Carson project, which
is now under way.
The greatness of the project exceeds all
that have heretofore been considered. At
present there are about 300,000 acres of
land under cultivation in the various val
leys of the Humboldt. To this will be add
ed fully 700,000 more, making the extent of
territory reclaimed fully twice that which
will be brought under cultivation by the
Truckee-Carson project, which is now the
greatest that has ever been taken up by
the United States Government. The work
will cost millions of dollars.

Place, but Doors Are Broken
Arrival of Police Prevents a
Second Assault.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2S. A serious riot in
connection with the packing-house strike
occurred tonight In front of a saloon on
Ada street' kept by Ignatz Hornatsky.
Several men who were alleged to be non
union men were pursued along Ada street,
and In order to escape the mob, which
numbered several hundred and were pelt
ing them with stones, they ran into the
saloon of Hornatsky. The saloonkeeper
barred the door after the men had en
tered and refused to admit the crowd.
They at once smashed all the windows in
the place and, breaking down the doors,
rushed in and demanded that the saloon
keeper give up the nonunion men. These
had made their escape by the back door,
and while the saloonkeeper barricaded
himself behind the bar his wife, Mrs.
Stella Hornatsky, ran upstairs and re
turned with a shotgun. She commenced
to fire as soon as she entered the room,
and her first .shot took effect In the
shoulder of Peter Wisor, who was lead
ing the mob. The crowd at once fled
from the place, carrying Wisor with them.
Hornatsky then barricaded the doors
and windows to the best of his ability,
and the mob, after retreating a short dis
tance, left two men to care for Wisor
and returned to the attack.

Sirs. Hornatsky, with her shotgun, re
loaded and took position in the door
wav and stood waiting for the mob, when
a wagon-load of police came around the
corner in response to a riot call that had
been turned in. The officers at once
charged the crowd and dispersed- it, cap
turing nine members of the mob, who
were taken to the police station. Wisor
Is seriously hurt, but hot fatally.
The meeting of the executive council
of the Butchers' Union has been set for
tomorrow night. It Is denied strenuously
by all officials of the local unions that
the strike will be called off.
Alderman Carey, in whose ward a part
of the stockyards are located, tried late
this afternoon to arrange a meeting be
tween the strikers and packers, but
failed. He was informed by the packers
that they had no intention of holding
conferences with the strikers at any time.
In a signed statement Issued today.
President Donnelly said:
"Our National executive committee con
venes here for the purpose of framing
another proposition of peace to the pack
ers. If this is refused, wo shall meet
the committee of tho City Council on
Monday to demand that a thorough in
vestigation be made into the immoral and
unsanitary conditions now existing in the
stockyards. We are preparing evidence
to present before the Aldermanic commit
tee to verify our statements."
The peace proposal to be presented to
the packers will be submitted to the Na
tional executive committee, and then be
forwarded to the packers direct. It Is
understood to be a simple proposition to
return to work without prejudice, as the
demand for labor at the plants warrants,
and to leave all questions of wages and
working conditions to arbitration.
OREGON BANKS PREPARED.
They Can Easily Meet the Demand
for Cash Incident to Crop Time. -
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. For the
purpose of ascertaining the ability of
the National banks to meet tho de
mand upon them incident to the an
nual movement of crops, the Controller
of the Currency, August 4, sent to the
National Bank Examiners, with the ex
ception of those whose districts aro
comprised within the New England
States and the City of New York, a
circular letter of Inquiry as to "whether
the demand in their respective sections
would be greater or less than last year,
and whether it would come earlier or
later than last year, and whether the
banks are better prepared to meet the
demand on them from their own
funds, and if there would be any in
crease or decrease in the amounts the
banks will have to borrow.
The result of this inquiry may be
summarized as follow.:
The demands on the banks will be
about the same as last year and at
about the same time. The banks are
generally, as well, but in most cases,
better prepared than they have been
in the past year or two to meet the
demands made upon them. Banks in
Arizona, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, New
Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Wyoming and
Washington are In a better condition.
