GREAT PACIFIC STEAMSHIP CO New Line to Be Established byj Russian Government Between This ! Coast and Port Arthur. i l0RTLAXD IX OREGON'S WAY The Plum Will go to I'uget Sound or San Eraocisco Because Railroads Will not do BuMness With Astoria. more about the matter in this city be fore the port has btvn selected. "The steamship line is to be built Juat as soon as the interior branch of the road is connected with th IVrt Arthur branch. Port Arthur will be I the Eastern terminus of the road mi i account of its uVp w ater harbor. Vladivostok has been abandoned as an i Lantern terminus, beca.ude its harbor is frozen up during the winter months. "Th-.? aew stearmhip lire will be operated in conjuncti-wi with Am. ri an transcontinental hrus and Atlantic UiieP, and will form a n-w rute around the world. The importance of its Pacific port can be appreciated, and either this city or Pan Fntncisco will be decided upon. The decision of the commission in this matter, how ever, may not be announced until after it ha. returned home to Port Arthur, which wiii probably be several months yet." Post-Intelilgenoer. Representatives of the Russian gov ernment are now on the cooft liking for a Puoiflc port to be a terminal of a fleet of freight steamers, to be operated In connection with the Transsiberian railroad, now nearing completion, from Port Arthur. Jay W. Adams, Pacific coast pass-ng- r agent of the Nickel Plate, West Shore and Filchburg rail ways, with headquarters at San Fran cisco, Is authority for this statement. Within the past two months, he says, the various ports of the Pacific, Seat tle, Tacoma. Portland, San FrancWco and San Diego, have all b'vn locked into with a view to determining upon one into whir h Eastern freight can be shipped at in... lowest, uost. Afti-r a moat exhaustive search, Mr. Adams states the representatives have dis posed of all others -xcepl Seattle and San Francisco, au.J elthf-r one of these two cities will le 'hien for the head orhce of what will be the gi-eatc-st audi most important si.-aiuship company do ing b-islness on l he Pacific.

BULLER'S GIFT OF SECOND SIGHT SOME KEMAKKAULE INSTANCES Knew oF Majulia Hill I)iater, Kill inq of French 1'rince Imperial. Tall of Khartoum and Gordon's Death A curio J3 t.iy is current in Lor. dor, which would m to InJUate that Sir lierJvers Puller, now commander-in-chief In H .uth Africa, Is pwmrW of the Strang-.- g ft or second sight a sin gularly valuable- gift it inui-t be con- i:. s.viiis that he was at Cape Town at trie : irnc- ,,( jr Gecrge Culley's dis astrous rout at the battle of Majaba Hill. On the day of the battle, al though he Wis many hundred miles a-vay, he saw vividly Wore him the weiies ,,f rolley's defeat anil death. So strong was the impression which this spc-cU-s of vision created upon his mind that he immediately rode out as fast as he could to the subur ban residence of the Cape Premier, Pir James Slbewright, imparting to him I his fears, and entreating him t get at once In telegraphic communication with the British tuse at Mount Pros I cct. Sir James complied with his wishes, and while Builer ar.d the premier sitting together, reassuring replies w re received, and the major (as Duller was then) was bantered by Sir Jaim-tt on the subject of bis apprvh.-nsions. Yet before evening had arrived the news of General (Vley's def-a: an 1 d-ath on Vajuba Hill was Mash-d i ros th--wires, ai.d It was then s.-cn that the disaster to the l.ritlsh nrnn had al ready taken place at the tine when Builer called upon the '"ape premier, although nothing was known about it then at Mount Prospect, the Hrilish base of operations against the Boers. It Is likewise recalled In military circles in London that Sir 111 vers seemed to be aware of the death of the French Prince Imperial and of the fall of Khartoum, as ah of the death of Gordon, at the very moment when these things occurred, and long before news of the events arrived. Builer Is such a strange, silent, letermlri'-d-locfc'ng man, s repellent in his man ner, and so uninviting as far as famll-j lar conversation and discussion are! concerned, that no one has ever beenj known to qu.-stiou him about these matters, yet the fact is on record that he has, on at least threw occasions, given marvelous demonstrations of the possession of a second sight which enables him to know and to see impor tant events that are In progress hun dreds and ov.-n thousands of mihn away from home. Never before has a commander of a big army embarked upon a campaign thus mentally equipped, and much curiosity privaite as to the services which his second sight is likely to ren.ler to Sir Redvers In the war against the Boers. It may be added i that Immediately on learning the of-1 fielnl news of Collev's defeat and , death, Builer went to his chief at Cape Town, Sir I.-b;ter Smith, the general officer then in command, and entreated him to prooiid at once to Natal by boat to assume command of the army in the Held and to retrieve- the disaster at Majuba Hill, l-f .re the Boers had time to follow up their advantage.

Sir Leicester done this, It Is generally belie v-rd that the Bo-rs w-uld have been b;f ;atel, the unfortunate conven tion agid to by Gladstone as pre mier avoided, and the present war averted. Sir Lilcewter first refUHed to comply with Buller'a sugwtlon, then agreed to it, and even left Cape Town for the purpose of proosding to Natal, but changed his mind befoTV- reaching his destination and returned to the Cape, thus leaving opin the way for Mr. Gladstone to give the Boers their In dependence on the strength of their victory at Majuba Hill.

Toward the head of the bullet there Is a small opening In this envelope. Frenchmen say that when this bullet touches a soft substance the owning Is compressed and the projectile U bo enlarged that It assumes the form of a mushroom.
