After quite a stay in the upper counties, together with several mem bers of the legislature who went with him to make an official visit to the va rious canneries and fish hatcheries scattered throughout the state. Fish Commissioner Reed returned yesterday to Astoria. In an interview with a reporter of the Astorian, Mr. Reed said: "We were shown every courtesy, and there is no doubt in my mind that every member of the party has a much better idea of the Industry than he bad before making the trip. Every one seemed to be very much pleased with the aspect of affairs up the country, especially in the matter of the artificial propagation of salmon. Everything seemed to be in excellent shape along the Salmon river, and I see no reason; why the hatcheries in that country should not turn out to be all right, and to demonstrate that they are capable of everything expected of them. We vis ited The Dalles, and I am free to state that the people up there seem to be very much interested in the changes in the fishing lines which are to be proposed at the next session of the legislature To put the matter very briefly, we have had a fine trip, and I am glad to say that I can report everything in the best shape, "I believe that there will be more money paid out this year for fish than has ever been the case before, for the catches have been particularly good all this month, and seem to be far ahead of what they were for the cor responding period of time last year. I think that the store-keepers of this city will notice an appreciable differ ence in the amount of money that tbey will receive from those engaged In the fishing business, as compared with the same month a year ago. "As to our legislature passing some law forbidding the trapping or catch ing of fish for a certain period of time; In order to allow them to ascend the river, and there to propagate and allow their spawn to Increase, the plan Is a good one but has this drawback: Even should the Oregon legislative body in corporate such ' a law, what compels the law-making bodies of the state of Washington to comply with their re quest and do the same? Tou can readily see that unless there Is perfect accord betwen the two states anything done by one state will be invalidated by the actions of the people In the oth er state, who are bound by no law. I hope, however, that some method may be found by which this difficulty will be solved." THE BRITISH SOLDIER. It Is said that the British soldier wears such tight clothing that his inter nal organs are often seriously injured. Then when on the march his chest Is compressed by the weight of his knap sack, canteen, greatcoat and heavy cartridge belt. Usually the stomach is the first organ to suffer from over taxing of any nature. Overwork, abue, neglect or improper food Is bound to produce dyspepsia and Its attendant evils. For any disorder of the diges tive organs Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters should be taken. This famous medicine will cure all ailments of the Btomach. Try It for constipation, Indi gestion, flatulency, dyspepsia, nervous ness or Insomnia. It makes the weak strong, and an occasional dose will keep the bowels regular. : TALLY HO CAUGHT FIRE.

Havi been Pr ifll Q PillQ Wed for t&hkitiM 3 li ttld 53 years, ADVANCE ON PEKIN TO BEGIN AT ONCE (Continued from Tust On.) ' patches rvcelved at the foreign office today the Austrian, Spanish, Italian end Holland IfgaUons at Prkln have been destroyed and the French legation partially wrecked. Attacks on the legations ceaavd some days av The emperor and empress dowager are living In lVkln, NEW YORK, July SI. The effect of all the reassuring dispatches from China during the past twenty-four hmirs, avers the London correspondent of the Tribune, has Impressed the mem bers' of parliament with the fact that the survivor? were virtually held as hostages. It was no longer asserted that the Chinese ofhclala were 'ylng In order to gain time for Inslduous at tempts to divide the powers and for the removal of the seat of government from Pekin to Segat, a mountain stronghold far more Inaccessible than Mr. Kruger's Lydenburg In the Trans vanl. The theory of a small group of op timists had suddenly been tuken up by the majority of the best-Informed men in parliament and In the clubs, namely, that the legations, after a siege of sev eral weeks, during which many had been kill-! and wounded, had parsed under the protection of the Imperial government, which was holding the sur vivors at Its mercy and endeavoring to Induce the powers to suspend ths advances of the army from Tien Tsln and to negotiate a oettlement on the basis of heavy financial Indemnities. There are many proofs that an au thority of some kind with a powerful will behind It has been substituted for annrchy. Viceroys and generals are going up toward the capital with string bodies of Chinese soldiers, the governor of Klang Su Is marching north. Lu Chuan Lin Is approaching Pekin. and other generals are moving. The military forces which were at Tien Tsin have retreated upon the capital, f.nd there Is a unity of direction !n the Chinese councils and a distinct and de termined effort from Shanghai to Che Foo, to hold back the advance of the allies, under a menace of the death of the survivors at the legations. If nothing else be p'atn In the Chinese mare, there are cumulative rroofs that a single will I? paramount at Pekln, and that a definite and positive policy has been adopted !n dealing with the powers. One fact of supreme Importance Is the helplessnei of the legations, If the Chinese government chrxwes to re new the attack while the allied forces ar marching toward Pekln. In that sense the envoys are hostages, and the Empress and th mandarins are making desperate efforts to keep the powers out of the capital. SHANGHAI, Monday. July M.-The Japanese have news that H.00O Chinese are attacking New Chwang, with 4.0AO Russians opposing theni. The news was received yesterday. The Japanese min ister has forwarded a letter to Tien Tsln stnting that the casualties at the Japanese legation in Pekln were Cap tain Ando, attache KoJIma and five marines killed and Secretary Narahara wounded. CHICAGO, July 31. A special to the ! Times-Herald from Washington says: ! Has Minister Conger been heard from again? j An Important telegram for Secretary , Long In the navy department cipher reached Washington late 'art night, j It was from Admiral Remey, and the presumption Is that It contains tidings ' from Conger. Secretary Long had re- I tlr-d before the dispatch arrived, and . had left orders that he was not to be disturbed. The dispatch will be trans-' lated In the morning. J HONG KONG. July 30.-The acting1 viceroy of Canton, ft Is reported. Is I becoming more active and adopting a j more vigorous policy. It Is announced j that he has ordered the execution of i 40 pirates. He will visit the foreign warships and consuls tomorrow. He j says LI Hung Chang Is not returning j to Canton, where quiet prevails. The British naval and military off!-, clals have taken careful observations of the Canton and the Bogue. The Rogue forts are crowded with troops, and the parapets are lined upon the approach of steamers. NEW YORK, July 31. The report from Lundon that the British and j American troops at Tien Tsln are pre- i paring an advance within forty-eight hours aroused much interest here, says the Washington correspondent of the Times. The announcement seems to have been made Just before the arrival of General Chaffee at Taku, and gives rice to some Interesting theories con cerning the effect of that commander's ! presence. It Is generally believed that, If the London report is corr.-ct, the arrival of General Chaffee at Tien Tsln will mean the instant cutting loose of the British and American forces from the other troops and their advance under General Chaffe-2's com mand. General Chaffee has not gone to China to act as a subordinate commander In an allied army, unless that should com mend itself to him as the best way of carrying out his own. purpose. Ha Is expected to carry out the policy of the 1'nlted .States without regard to Us acrepfflblilty to the other powers. The United States ' has already Indicated Its Impatience of delay and Its desire for an immediate forward movement. It has represented to the other powers that such an advance should be made, and has directed Admiral Remey to urg this pulley on the other command in. It Is certain that an. Immediate advance la the American policy and that the Americana only await Gen ual Chaffee's arrival to begin carrylnf It out. The extraordinary rapidity of Chaffee's movements show that h !' allies how much depends on hli prompt arrival. The American general, then, arrives in China with two well-defined inten-tlons-flrst, to begin a forward move ment in accordance with the Instruction cf his government at once; second, to act as if he wet the only military commander In Chlici, unless 'he other commanders rail In with his Views. Should they do sc, of course General Chaffee will be only too glad of their help, but he goes to Tien Tsln us an Independent commander, bent on fol lowing out his own policy, and not a cue of the discordant "filled army." The report from London Indicates to the people who are awure uf this stat cf affairs that the British are ready to fall in with General Chaffee's plans, even if the other Europeans and the Japanese are not. It I pu rallied that the British are aware of Chaffee's In Notion, and are now preparing to Join the Americans In an advance as soon as Chaffee arrives and orders It, and that this Is the meaning of the report. It Is tulte certain, ho.vever, that Chaf fee will begin a forward movement at the earliest possible moment, whether the British Join him or not. It Is sug gested thut the British have been anx ious for a forward movement, but have b.n handicapped by the smallnesa of their numb-rs, and thut they have the news of Chaffee's trrlval as a means of carrying out their desires. They will then be no longer compelled to defer to the conMI.'tlng wishes of the other ciimtnanders. It Is concluded from all this that t'hnft'ee will be the commander of thf Ameilean and l!rlMh forces when he marches out of Tien Tsln. Perhaps by the tlmo he arrives there some of the other forces may be willing to Join him, but In any event the American general will carry out his own policy, glad of support If he can get It, tut determin ed on fulfilling hlM lint ructions, even If he ilos It single-handed. CHICAGO, July Sl.-A special to the Record, from Vancouver, 1:. C suys: There sailed today from Vancouver, on the steamer Empress nf India, W prominent Chinese reformers from New York and Boston, twenty from Seattle and thirty from Vancouver, all bound fcr Macao and all wearing conspicu ously displayed a button photograph 0f their emperor. Kwang Hsu. The Chinese Empire Reform Associa tion of the World had received a cable message In clphr from Its leader, Kwang Yu Wei, Instructing the asso elation to send leading members to Mncao at onoe, where a council of war will be held to consider ways of rais ing an army among members of the as sociation to support the allied powers. CHICAGO, July .H.-Brlgadler-Gen-eral Wilson, until recently military governrr of th province of Matanxos and Santa Clara. Cuba, was In Chicago for two hjurs last evenln en route to C hina, where he will ie second to General Chaff.-e In command of the t'nlted States forces. He was met at the station by General Wheeler. After dinner Gen?nil Wilson left for San Francisco. General Wilson Is accom panied by Lieutenants J. H. Reeves and Turnr, his aloes, and an orderly. As a private citizen. General Wilson made a study of China In 1S83, and the results of his observations were pub lished at that tlm?. General Wilson said: "I sail Immediately from San Fran cisco. After my arrival at Che Foo my movements will he governed by circumstance. Owing to the dense fog that han?s about the whole situation, I can only guess at condiions. It Is a dynastic wir and a rebellion at the same tlm-. If we would give Japan full sway she could settle the whole thing In a week. The serious trouble seems to be that Jealousies which ex ist between the European powers pre vent the prompt settlement of the troubles. Russia undoubtedly will ob ject to Japan doing anything to give her the advantage. There would be no necessity for our having any more troops In China but for these Jeal ousies, and I do not believe we will need any more. Judging by the way the Japanese swept everything Chinese before them, It will require a small force for the allies to whip China if contentions between the powers are r.ot allcwcd to enter Into the matter." SAN FRANCISCO, July 31,-The gov ernment Is finding great difficulty in securing good cavalry hors'g for the Orient. Last week Colonel Marshall, chief quartermaster of this department, started on a horse-buying trip, sup posing that he could find all the ani mals wanted In the vicinity of Salinas, hitherto a pood base of Hupply for the cavalry. Falling to make up anything like the needed number there, he bo reported and was ordered on to Hollls ter. A second disappointment met him there, and he 'Is now canvassing the state and Nevada. Agents of the Ger man empire who are buying up horses here for the German cavalry are also finding their task not an easy one. lines now in Order.
