CONFIRMS ORCHARD ARMY IS fcEADY. Steve Adams Reveals Dark Se crets of Inner Circle. OregorvSiispect Breaks Down Under Solitary Confinement and Tells of Steunenberg Murder. All Details Arranged to Send 25,000 Men to China. Washington, March 2, It is possible today to givo for tho first titno the dc tails of tho prcparatlona which tho War department la making for an In vnnlon of China. In caso of necessity, I -which to military minus seemB immt Inont, it is tho intention oLthe govern- mum err Tn piiiiitot ncrin ment to utspatcn zu.uuu regulars irora LUMILLIL IU OlTMLLLOl UL I ML tho United States to Join a Philippine forco of 5,000 mons for an oxpedition to the Chinese empire. The troops for the Oriental Bervico havo been selected, the posts from which they will be taken aro named in the plans and the proper allotment has been mado among tho various branches of thn service. Not only has this been dono by tho officers who havo been working out the invasion scheme, but they havo perfected a plan for tho distribution of the troops which will remain in the United States, so that they may bo available in caso of homo disturbances. The scheino of invasion as at present contemplated is with the view princl pally of a combination of tho Amen can forces with those of other powers. but a subsidiary arrangement has been made to meet tho possibility that the united States will bo forced to act alone. If the situation in China demands tho dispatching of American soldiers for a march to Pekin. within three weeks of thn time of the call to arms there will not be a regular infantryman left within the borders of tho United States, for it is tho intention of the department to send its full force into the field, save only the infantrymen doing duty in the Philippines As stated in previous dispatches, the officers of the War College have esti mated that 100,000 men will to neces sary to mako an invading force strong enough to conduct a successful cam paign against Pokin. If by an unfor tunate trend of events it should become necessary that America act alone, there would be no attempt at the outeet to reach the Forbidden City. Tentative plans, in case America goes alone into the fight, contemplate a joint army and navy expedition to seize one of the greater coast towns in China. This might or might not have an effect on the Chinese government, OREGON STATeItEMSTiNTEREStJ BOOM IN ORCHARD LANDS. PRIMARY LAW CONSTRUED. Boise, Idaho, March 3. The States man says this morning: "The Statesman is authorized to an nounce that Steve Adams, arrested at Haines, Or., on February 20, in con nection with the Steunenberg assassi nation, has made a full and sweeping confession. This second confession is far more important than that made by Harry Orchard." This is the statement made ior pub lication last evening by James McPar land, the detective, in the presence of Governor Gooding and J. H. Hawley, who is in charge of the presocution. Mr. McParland added that AdamB confeesion fully and exactly corrobo rated that made by Orchard at every point touched upon by both. More over, Mr. McParland continued, Adams knows far more of the workings of the 4 'Inner Circlo" than Orchard did and was able to give a mass of detailed informatin that Orchard's confession did not cover. The confession of Adams, he said, corroborated that given by Orchard in every substantial point connected with the assassination of ex-Governor Steu nenberg. Adams, however, was not at Caldwell at the time of the assassina tion, nor was Orchard at the time of the unsuccessful effort in November The man who assisted Orchard on the latter occasion, aa set forth in Or chard's confession, waa Jack Simpkins Still another statement made by the detective was that the Adams confes sion gave the details of a large number of murders that were not referred to in any manner by Orchard. It was fur tber stated that the confession had been reduced to writing, signed and acknow lodged. It was a voluminous docu ment, covering a greater field and in more detail than that made by Orchard Homeseekors Looklntr for Locations Candidate May Run for Office on Two on Hooe River.

Tho homescekors who havo arrived say many more will como as soon as spring opens in the Middle West, peo ple there being slow to believe that spring is so much earlier bore. Real estato purchases aro not confined to Eastern people, as Portland men are investing in apple lands, going as far as back of Mount Hood. They aro re lying on tbo effect the Mount Hood railroad will havo on land in tho upper valley. This road is now noaring com pletion, and the first car of freight was ahippod over it last week, consigned 'to Moro. Much of tho wood formerly burned in clearing fruit lands will soon be marketable at a nominal expense, thus reducing the coat of clearing land Tbo warm wet weather of tho past few days has started plant life into ac tivity and berry growers will soon coni' mence cultivating. of recent events, it would seem that the Chinese governments is not all- powerful in the control of its affairs, and as a consequence such a seizure might be of little avail, save possibly for indemnity purposes. RAISE PAY OF RURAL CARRIERS. Room for Settlers in Umatilla. Pendleton Tho rapid manner in which Umatilla county is being settled has drawn attention of late to tho fact that there is much good wheat land left on what was once the Umatilla Indian reservation. A tract of this land was bought by tho government in 1807 and sold in parcels at low prices to settlers. In many cases 80 acres out of a quarter section are to be found, on different parts of tho reservation, wnich were but, because- then thought useless. With proper at- RUN OUT AMERICAN SILVER. Canadian Banks Collect and Deport It at a Good Profit. New Westminster, B. C, March 3. A clean sweep of American Bilver from the Dominion of Canada has been de vised by the Dominion government, and the banks of Canada, on arrange ment with the government, put the law Into force today. The banks' are to collect all the American silver, in all about $600,000, and transmit the same to the agency for the Bank of Montreal at New York, receiving gold in ex change. This amount will then be re placed in circulation by Canadian coin, while on the $800,000 the banks will get three-eighths of one per cent, and also on all shipments made hereafter tne percentage will be the same Cortelyou Recommends an Increase When Routes are Adjusted. Washington, March 2. This state ment has been furnished the Associated Press ior transmission "In tho matter of rural carriers' pay, it can be authoritatively stated that there is no disposition on the part of the Postoffico department to cut rates. On the contrary, the department has strongly recommended the advisability of congressional consideration of- the subject, looking to moro adequate com pensation. 'In the recent readjustments to com plete county service, the number of routes reduced in mileage has exceeded the number increased. These condi tions have resulted in lowering the pay of the carriers somewhat. Until the service is completed throughout the country, the average of carriers' salaries based upon present legal allowance will naturally fluctuate from time to time mta the silver market in the present as routes are increased or decreased condition, tne Dominion government Bhou make about 1400.000 or, the deal, besides giving ibe baak fair profit and also putting into circulation much Canadian silver that has been held in check by the American money. On several occasions in former years the banks have endeavored to terminate the circulation of American silver by placing a discount on it, but it was iound that, in spite of this, the coin -was in circulation, but never went to the banks. However, there will now be no dis count on American silver, but the bankn will not pay it out. Three quarters of the silver in circulation in Southern British Columbia is of Amer ican origin. The main point the gov ernment claims in putting this scheme into operation is to get Canadian cur rency into circulation. Failure Again Threatens. Washington, March 3. While no immediate break in tho conference at Algecirqp is expected by the govern ment, the negotiations there have reached the stage which, according to the reports received here, threaten the failure of the conference unless there is a change in the attitude of Germany. A long conference occurred at the State department today between Secretary Hoot and M. Jusserand, tho French ambassador, during which the negotia tions at Algeciras were tho main sub ject under d'nooinn Deep Snow Covers Utah. Salt Lake City, March 3. The heav iest enow storm of the winter prevailed last night and today throughtout the inter-mountain country. The storm center is moving east and today is over Colorado, The weather is moderately cold. In Salt Lake City and at several otner utan points tne snowlall was fully 18 inches. At Fort Douglas, just beyond the eastern limit of Salt Lake City, the enow lies three feet deep and is badly drifted. First Infantry at Malta. Valetta, Island of Malta, March 3. The United States transport Kilpatrick and tho transport McOlollun, having the First Infantry on board, arrived Jwre today from Gibraltar on their way to Manila. in length. Under the eo-called new rural policy of the department, out of a total of 34,938 routes installed up to Febru ary 1, but 27 had. been discontinued. These discontinuances were mostly due to readjustments in order to complete service in counties. tention tins tana may yet become as good as tho land that was Bold. Some of tho land sold then, near Weston, Athena ancTAdams, at from $10 to $20 an acre, grows wheat of tho finest qual ity. Goes to Brazil as Missionary. Pcaific University, Forest Grove Miss Grace C. Wood, who has been an instructress in Tualatin academy for the past three years, having como to Pacific from Drury college, Mo:, has left for Brazil to engage in missionary work, for which she will be peculiarly a-lapted. Her position will be filled immediately by Mr. Zimmerman, from Riverside academy, Portland. Before going to Brazil to commence her Work, sue will attend the missionary conven tion, which is held at Nashville, lenn., and from there she will go di rect to Brazil. Return Money to Counties. Salem - State Supenitendent of In struction J. H. Ackerman, one of the promoters of tho Educational congress at the Lewis and Clark fair, has pre pared his report of receipts anil expend itures of the committee. The money which Mr. Ackerman is accounting for was donated on his solicitaiton by the counties for expenses of the congress. There is a balance of $200 86. wi.ich will be returned to the counties in pro portion to the amount contributed. In all, $1,044.86 was received. gnnoral is that tho ofllco seeker thereby becomes tho nominoo of both parties, and his name must bo so printed on the general ballot at tho election in Juno. The same would bo truo if ft man wore an aspirant for a Republican nom ination and his natno woro written inw tho Democratic primary ballots, thoro by givjng him a plurality of the Demo cratic votes.

Last 7oar they shipped from urants Pass and Merlin over 200 tons of fish to Portland. This year tho shipments will amount to considerable more, as tliov aro shinning moro than a ton a dav. A set net on tho Illinois river, about 20 milos from whoro it empties into Rogue river, is daily making big catches uf fine salmon. Fishermen on Roguo river aro also doing a good busi ness.
