While at Port Arthur, on ac-;- count , of the lack of accommodations the , Russian headquarters were on warships, ; and he had an excellent chance to study conditions. He anticipated war and says Russia has as strong a fleet In those waters as Japan fca and that .fortifica tions are constantly building and forces Increasing, showing Russia's readiness Ho act on short notice. He tells of every warship, being given short orders at one tl'me during his stay on board to prepare for action.

Tenders will be re ceived up to Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, as originally planned, and the work will be awarded by the executive board In accordance with the plans and specifications of City Engineer Elliott and under the exact conditions pre scribed by the board when the first call was made. Yesterday afternoon the resolution of the city council asking for an extension of time Was received, but It was or dered placed on file. Personal represen tatives from a number of companies were also present and the mayor and city auditor spoke of numerous requests for postponement, but all action on that line was squelched instantly when Chairman Bo life of the special commit tee announced that no delay would be considered. Cheaper Steel Improbable. "We carefully Investigated the ques tion," he explained, "and came to the conclusion that there were no valid rea sons for postponing the awarding of contracts. The talk about cheaper steel Is not apparently well founded and it was the unanimous opinion of the com mittee that the proposition of delay be rejected." The proposition of installing an elec tric lighting plant on the new flreboat was approved by the members, but It was thought best to refer the matter to committee. Fire Chief Campbell stated that the plant was a necessity. Repairs were ordered at the city barn. The present wooden foundations are rotting and crumbling away and cement foundatTons will possibly be substituted. Taxpayer' League Bequest The Taxpayers' League advised the board to hire an engineering expert In connection with the construction of tho new Morrison street bridge. This also was referred. The patrolmen of the city filed a pe tition asking for a raise In salary from 375 to 30 per month.

He came of age July 25 of the following year. It Is learned that one of the recom mendations filed at Washington In Mr. Banks' behalf cpme from Mayor George II. Williams. While the United States district attorney Is appointed by the president, the deputy district attorney Is appointed by the attorney-general. It Is therefore an Interesting bit of history that while Judge Williams was attorney general he appointed Knox, who Is now attorney-general, to the office of deputy district attorney feu- the eastern district of Pennsylvania. Knox was then a young lawyer and was little known. -It Is natural to suppose that the recom mendation given Mr. Banks by Mayor Williams carried considerable weight with Attorney-General Knox.

United States District Attorney j John H. Hall, who is conducting the prosecution, is attempting to prove that Martin committed the crime by state ments of witnesses that he and Grant were enemies; that Martin made threats against the latter's life and that the drinking bout between Grant, Martin and Abe Logan at Woodman's ford, where thi- tragedy was enacted, was .a conspiracy to get Grant intoxicated and do away with him.

A suit was filed this morning in the state circuit court which recalls a sen sation of 10 years ago, when the greatest smuggling ring ever known on this coas waa broken up. The disclosures made in 1893 by the United States grand Jury In this city form one of the most extraordl nary cnapters in the history of the Northwest, and the scandal Involved some of the most prominent business men or rortlana. A number of govern- mem omclals were convicted of compile ,n tne r,n&- James Lotan, then col- lector of customs, was fined 38.000: John W41son, United States consul at Victoria, ""i never inea, as ne re- malned beyond the Jurisdiction of thi government, and practically every cus toms officer in Portland was Implicated. Case of William Dunbar. Among those indicted are William Dunbar, who was at the time emrasred In the wholesale commission business at Front and Pine streets. He was tried and convicted, and the suit filed todnv to the outgrowth of those criminal proceed- lngs 10 years ago. Dunbar was charged with smuggling Chinese an opium, and the poor of his au It was conclusive. His trial oc- curred In December, 1893, and resulted In a sentence of two years' Imprisonment in the Multnomah county Jail and a fine of 31,000. Dunbar appealed to the United States supreme court, and pend ing the decision of the appeal was re leased on a 36,000 bond, his sureties being his two brothers, James S. and T. N. Dunbar, and R. S. Smith. The su preme court decided adversely to Dun bar and affirmed his sentence. But when the government officials attempted to carry the sentence. Into effect Dunbar could not be found. He had fled the country. Proceedings were Instituted to recover from his bondsmen, but Dun bar's brothers proved financially irre sponsible, and Smith, the' other surety, was forced to pay 32,700. T. N. Dun bar was arrested on the charge of per jury in swearing that he was worth the sum for which he qualified on his broth er's bond, but the prosecution resulted In nothing. After his escape, William Dunbar went to China and engaged in business at Hong Kong. He is said to have been very successful and to have made a large fortune by importing wheat from this country. His bondsman. Smith, has been unable to secure repayment of the money which he lost by becoming his surety. It is said that Dunbar even repudiated a note for 3200 given for money lent him by a friend to enable him to make his escape to China. In the suit brought today, Smith, through his attorney, Charles J. Schna bel, seeks Judgment against William Dunbar and prays a write of attach- ment, stating that he Is Informed that the defendant has property within the Jurisdiction of the court.
