There 'has teen but little newa from the front to T 4ay, and all advices are to the effect .that the fighting has been confined; to -Skirmishes between outposts and clashes between ruconnoitertng parties. The Ruaslana are taking advantage of the lull to fortify tltelr positions, that .they may be In readiness for the ax jmcted Japanese ad vanes. , ' It IS admitted at the war offlos that great anxiety again prevails because It ' Is known that Oyama baa beea -receiv- 4ng large -numbers of reinforcements hurriedly sent forward when It became 'apparent that he would have difficulty In checking the Russian advance. Not - only hae he received fresh- men from Fort Arthur and from the reserve sta" 4tlons, buttte baa also been supplied with large number of guns that were too email for use In the operations against Fort Arthur.

The first of these is on the Shakhs river, the second " along the Hun river and the third and last Immediately arjnd Mukden. , Tliese preparations can mean but one thing, that the Japanese, even though they may be heavily reinforced, -will have- to fUht for every foot of ground between tbe river and Mukden. - Nothing can be learned of hew rapidly reinforcements sre being sent In to Kuropatkln, but It Is presumed the work la of necessity slow because of the long distances to be traversed. Oyama, It Is admitted, has a great advantage In this rearuTt, through the ready access hej hs to the seaboard and the rail com munication which he has established over the comparatively short haul be tween Dalny and Liao Tang. The depression which Is notloable at .the war offices for once is not shared by the people, who are greatly encour aged at the success of Kuropatkln In holding his center position on the river. Added to this news Is the encourage ment afforced by QeB. ,SakharorTs re port yesterday, In which be tell of the Japaneae being driven from -the vll- Iflge of Hhakhe In such baste thajt they were forced to abandon their . stores, ammunition and even a gun which had previously been captured from tbe Rus sians. -' Foreign dispatches received la the capital tonight telling of a call having been Issued by the mikado for th im mediate mobilisation of th.

Th special excursion' to Portland upon the opening of the Lewis and Clark Centennial ex position, under th auapices of th Cali fornia Promotion committee, will prob ably be the largest excursion which ha ever been given from this state. The California Promotion committee haa received resolution from organisa tions throughout the entire state favor ing the excursion, and these resolutions hAve been forwarded to President W. H. Ooode of1 the Lewis and Clark Centen nial, showing the spirit of California In xegard to this excursion. Among those who have written to the committee expressing their desire to attend th big excursion are Governor Oeorge C. Pardee, President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, President David Starr Jor dan, various railway officers, and a large number of prominent men In every walk in life and scattered through out the state of California. practically l!,f70,0to buhel.' ; last year th yield was MX. an bushels. The acreage this year Is larger and some of the counties, especially those In eastern Oregon, had more bountiful crop. Th Willamette valley alone showed a re markable shortage In this year's crop owing to the lack of rain, a calamity which very seldom strikes this portion of the stats. This year has been a very prosperous on for th Oregon farmer. Counting the present average price of wheat at 17 cents per bushel. It makes this year's crop worth U,11,0. . Next to wheat the hdb crop. Is the most important m the state. It Is valued thief- year at 100,000, The crop of hops this year waa very close to K.000 bales, which average 100 pounds earn. At 90 cents, the present market price th total value of th erop la 96,100,000. T The ether trouble, and fully as serious one was the agents they selected to carry out their orders.

May I ask how It was posslbls for Rogers, Btlllman, Rockefeller and the rest to make such a sllp-upf It Is one of those curious affairs where strong, stubborn men stake their all on a thing tnat works out well on paper. Every thing was left to Rogers, and he allowed "Pat" McCarrea, who In the past has done tremendous work for Standard Oil, to "kind of steer him." Tom must -remember, Mr. Roger Is not as young as he was In the oamnalcn of 189S, when f MO0. 000 was rushed to the firing line eight days before elec tion and five states scientifically stood on their heads. MoCarren showsd him that with unlimited "stuff It was only question of a bunch of lieutenants. with cheek to place it right Standard Oil, McCarren well knew. would not kick at any amount of money for they absolutely "had to have" cer tain things. Odell had vetoed their Con solidated Gas bill, and they must get It through this season, as tt means at least lloo.000.000 .la. their ..bookkeeping af fairs. . Then there are two or three great swonla that are suspended by very long drawn, delicate hairs, and well, the mistake was made of adopting McCar- ren'e plan, and onoe the St Loula con vention waa under way It was too late to rectify the mistake, bat take my word for It and watch out and see how near I ceme to the bull's eye. whan I say ft will not do fof Roosevelt and the Republican party to think that-the elec tion is won. There will be two or three explosions between now and the time the votes are counted that will give things quits a shaking' and perhaps perhaps well, I cover It when I say that It will not do for Roosevelt or his lieutenants to sleep or even take a nap . between now and election day.
