After having made a gallant defense of Port Arthur; after sacrificing thou sands of brave lives and thousands of dollars; making one of the grandest defenses In modern warfare, against great odds and fighting until they were completely exhausted, out of ammuni tion, with a determination to die in the last ditch. General Stoessel must go to St Petersburg- and be court-martialed for his bravery. This Is the way the square heads of this effete empire of cowardly curs reward bravery. There Is only one class of peopel in Russia whose lives are considered of any val ue, and that Is the most worthless class that infest the empire, the czar and his paid hirelings, who think no more of a man's life than they do of the ven- emous viper that crawls the earth. The best thing the Inhabitants of Russia can do, is to stop fighting the Japs and organize for a final onslaught on the czar and the royal family and wipe every vestage of them off the face of the earth. The men who fought at Port he earth. The men who fought at Port Arthur are heroes. The czar and his retinue are cowards, and a change In the form of the Russian government will be an advance along the lines of civilization. No nation on the earth has any respect for a government who punishes its heroes for bravery and considers the life of a brave soldier no more than a fly speck on the walls of a prisoa Russia is the most cruel and barbar ous nation In the world. It Is this that antagonized, every country against them, except Germany and France, who were loaning them money to carry on the war. They do not care for their paupers and Insane, either in the old country or this and they are a burden to every community. ' The better ele ment of Russians, those who refuse to stand the edicts of tyrany, have emi grated to the United States, where they become good citizens, the same as every liberty-loving man does who comes under the hallowed influence of a government that meets out equal and exact justice to all irrespective of race, color or previous condition of servitude. The orders Issued for Gen era Stoessel to return home and re port for court-martial are In keeping with the barbaric customs of an un civilized race, and will be denounced by every liberty-loving man who be lieves that barvery should be rewarded and honors instead of the gullatine giv en, him. o COMMISSIONERS APPOINTED. After waiting two years, the state sailor boarding house board have ap pointed a sailor boarding house com mission consisting of A. M. Smith William McMasters and Andrew Hoben of Portland to look after the shipping of sailors. Two years ago a commis sion consisting of E. W. Wright, Herb ert Holman and S. M. Mears, was ap pointed, but the supreme court diveste them of all their powers and they re signed. The sailor boarding house commission Is the outcome of thl Portland Municipal Reform Associa tion, receives, no emoluments and has no duties to perform. In this It is close- WRONG MAN INDICTED. In their efforts to secure the indict ment of Mayor Williams, the Portland Reform league missed their hold, and are subject to indictment themselves. The Evening Telegram says: "Concerning Indictment of city offi cials by grand Jury "The opinion of several attorneys, voiced In the state circuit court this morning, is that the law does not make It the duty of the mayor to frequent gambling houses in order to obtain evi dence against the proprietors: that the mayor is in the matter of Investiga tion simply a private citizen: that John Bain, D. A. Pattullo and other mem bers of the Municipal League who ob tained evidence against the gamblers are liable to Indictment, for the reason that when they had learned that gam ing houses were being conducted they did not appear In the municipal court and swear out warrants against the proprietors of such houses." This is the contention made by The Astorlan. People who snoop around, prying into everybody's business and trying to have honorable men indicted are the ones to blame. The mayor Is not supposed to visit gambling dens to see that the laws are enforced. That duty devolves upon the officers and every citizen. The members of the Re form League visited houses, procured the The schooner Chetcoe arrived down from Portland yesterday, and took on a cargo of miscellaneous merchandise and machinery for the Rogue river dis trict. The Chetcoe Is a new venture, and Is unique In the salmon trade. The vessel Is fitted with a flrst-cluss cold storage plant, and Is designed for use In the salmon Industry In the Rogue river trade. This salmon Is deemed the best on the coast by the company that Is putting the schooner Into business, and all takes are contracted for far In ad vance for shipment to Germany, Captain E. H. Burns Is In charge of the fishing operations, and Captain S. F. Scott Is navigator. The company has arranged to fur nish gear for the fishermen on the river, and the best of the catch will be placed In the Immense wild storage plant and delivered In Astoria and Portland. The smnler fish will be delivered nt various canneries until next summer when the company operating the Chet coe will begin pickling, though their principal revenue will be derived from the foreign shipment of the Royal chl nooks. The fish will be sent across the con tinent under refrigeration, and will be sent abroad frozen and fresh. Prices have been quoted the company for the foreign delivery of the fresh fish that seem to insure a profit for every trip. The Chetcoe will use about 35 days to the trip, making Astoria the home port The salmon Industry If, of course, one of the principal ones of the lower Co lumbia, but the prospect that the Chet coe Is developing Is one of the new ones. and the progress of the experiment will be watched with interest by those In terested in the trade. Among the other cargo the Chetcoe took a number of tons of mining ma- the gambling chinery and pipe for the development evidence and of the quartz claims owned by Mr O o () o o 8 o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o 0 1 0 0 I 9 P.

They are moral cowards, unworthy of confidence and poltlcally rotten to the core. The more the actions of these consecrated reformers are exposed, the more contempt Is held for them by all honest men. No one expects that Mayor Williams will ever be tried. He was not even arrested and when he pre sented himself to the court to be ad mitted to bail, he was informed that no ball was required. This Is a self-evl dent fact of the moral cowardice of the pernicious grafters that compose the Portland Reform League, and should relegate them to everlasting infamy. An Instance of the lack of apprecia tion on the part of the county paupers was shown yesterday, when a little girl, accompanied by her mother, applied to the county court for an allowance of groceries. The county court Inquired if the mother was willing to go out in the country and go to work, there being good place there where the girl could attend school. The woman Is a stout, ablebodled person, but she scorned work. All she wanted was to live off he county. It Is very probable that her rations will be cut off. A wo man that is able to work and wont work Is not entitled to support at the ex pense of the county. o Stil, Is seems rather too bad that Yardman should refuse to go to the Inaugural ball and do something grace ful and appropriate in the line of a can-can. Burns and others. These are stated to hold out much promise for future de velopment. The Chetcoe will go to sea this morn ing, having been delayed yesterday by breaking In machinery that had to be repaired here. MARINE NETES.
