THE ONLY EXCLUSIVE DRY Q00D3 STORE IN THE CITY
T.jAlba, the reldent Japanese vice
consul,1 has received a tender of serv
ices in- the Japanese army In case of
an- outbreak of hostilities between that
country and Russia from an ex-officer
In the Russian army. The name of this
man . is Martin Markesan, Mr. Marke
san served his native country for three
years and a half and when . mustered
out he bad atUined the rank of second
lieutenant , o
Mr. Markesan wrote Vice-Consul Alba
a letter early in the present week in
which he offers to take up arms against
the csar. His letter states .that- he
came to the United States 19 years ago.
He was bom on the borders of the Black
sea. He- received a military education
In a school at Odessa and after gradu
ation served in the army of : Russia,
In this country he engaged In mining
and both made and lost money. He owns
property In Oregon, Washington -, and
British Columbia and his horns Is now
at Spokane, Wash. - . -
In 1899 Markenan enlisted as a pri
vate a Vancouver. Wash., in the Thirty
fifth infantry. United States Volunteers,
and was sent to- the Philippines. HIS
faithful performance of his duties there
led to his rapid promotion. October 13,
1899. Lieut-Col. E. H. JPlummer or the
Thirty-fifth infantry advanced him te
the rank of corporal. April zo, loi.
Colonel Hummer made his a sergeant
He received an honorable discharge at
the Presidio, San Francisco, May 2,
1901. His military record in the Phil
ippines shows:
A skirmish and night attack near pel
Carmine, November SO, 1899; - skirmish

garrison at Ougat, October SO, 1900;
engagement near Epo, January 10, 1901.
His commanding officer. Captain Pres
cott speaks of him as "honest and
faithful" and of, "excellent character."
In his letter to Vice-Consul Albs;
Sergeant Markesan explains nls reasons
for desiring to take up arms against
Russia. He says:
"It Is for the darkened life in which
Russia keeps her people that so in
clines me,, together with the brutality
with which, shs treats them." He draws
comparisons - between ' Russia and the
United States, and adds:
"A person can learn mors in this.
country In one year than he could In
Russia in 20 years.:' It seems peculiar
to me," continues Markeson, '"that the
Russian government should pursue such
a policy. If Russia would put a little

where the people are compelled to sup

"Should any trouble break out in your
country, (Japan) I'm ready and willing
to leave everything behind and go into
services . . . I am in hopes you will
act on my application right away,

"Formerly Sergeant Company F.
v : Thirty-fifth, U. 8. V."
Vice-Consul- Alba is not in a position
to accept Sergeant Markesanfs serv-
loes, but it is thought that a deter
mined man like Mr. Markesan will un
doubtedly find a way to get into the
Japaness army , through' soma other
channel.
KENTUCKY KUGK"
ENTERS THE ARENA
The latest in political organisations
la the "Kentucky KlickV - It was formed
a few evenings ago in ths office of At
torney Mark O'Neill, who will how the
gavel at future sessions. -The objects
of the "Klick" are tworoia to give
members an idea how to vote In the way
most likely to hasten tha arrlvat of tha
mlllehlum, and to enjoy life, On ac
count of , the first item the by-laws spe
cify that civil officials shall not be elig
ible to membership. . ; - .
For- several reasons the "Kentucky

In Portland political life. " Despite the,

(liCOUV V, -
in the industrial world, nor with what
political forces they may d aiigneo,
provided they or their ancestors were
born In the region south of Mason and
Dixon's line. .
Some of the members advocated call
ing the organisation the "Kentucky
nninnnia' witrk ? but it was thousht ths
signfflcatlon was too narrow. As only
the genuine in coioneis are anegea 10
hail from Kentucky, it was deemed by
the majority of members inadvisable to
use that woro, lnasmucn as every irue
Kentncklan i a past master in the po
litical arena and needs no "showing" as
to how he should vote.
It was further suggested, that1 no
genuine Kentucky colonel would wish the
millennium hastened, anyhow, - unless a
contract were previously signed that corn
Juice would not be excluded from ths
list of pleasures Mundane. . ,
While the "Kllck" is non-partisan, ac
cording to the constitution. President
O'Neill is a Democrat Attorney Thomas
C Greene, another-prominent "Klicker,"
Is also a Bourbon, being the president
of the Multnomah County Democratic
club. J. -E. Lathrop, whose altltudlnous
personality will help the club along ths
road toward the millennial dawn, as
secretary of the organisation, is an en
thusiastic Democrat ' , These are said to
be mere coincidences.
Apropos of Lathrop, it is solemnly al
leged by other members that before he
was allowed to sign the roll of member
ship a vote was taken on, the question
of whether , or not he should be in
structed to grow whiskers. Tha-proponents
of the whiskers argued that he
resembles Lincoln too much for a good
Democrat The opponents of 'the whis
kers won out They Inclined to the be
lief that whiskers waving at so great
an altitude would form an Aeolian or
gan detrimental to the peace and quiet
ude of the community.

Inspectors Hutchinson and McEach-
crn, who have charge of ths city license
department have Issued an ultimatum
to the effect that all business' men who
have failed to square themselves with
the city must do so at once, or arrests
will follow. (
Tha first arrest of tha new year for
failing to have a license occurred yes
terday when B. Abraham was taken to
the police station and a charge placed
against him. Abraham was operating
a Junk wagon and had no permit In
the police court today ho explained that
he had but $4.71 when ha started to col
lect Junk. He hoped that a day or two
later he would have made sufficient
money to enable him to pay for his $S
license, but the officers were so vigilant
they caught him before he had taken out
a license. He said ho had worked but
ona day. Judge Hogua fined him $J.S0
and suggested that It would have been
cheaper .to borrow tha money. Abraham
secured his license after his arrest
Tha Inspectors state that all licenses
for the first quarter of the new year
were due on January 10. While they
have "been waiting to give delinquents
opportunity to pay up, no more leniency
will now be granted. The officers state
that warranta will be Issued shortly for
the owners of dirt wagons, who have
failed to comply with tha law.
