to sip m pa1 ctp r VOL. VII THE DALLES, OREGON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1894. NO. 237 NOW IN MANCHURIA The Japanese Forces Have Invaded China. . ARE ADVANCING ON THE CAPITOL Reported Provisional Agreement B t ween Biigla and China--Yellaw Ferer In Salvador. London, Sept. 28. A dispatch from Shanghai says it is reported the Japan ese have succeeded in entering the Chin ese province of Manchuria' and are ad vancing upon the capital of Moukden. It is also saidighting has taken place between the invaders and Chinese at a town between that city and the frontier. ' The engagement is said to have ended in a decisive victory for the Japanese, who established themselves in the position previously occupied by the Chinese troops. No details of this reports are given and the Chinese at Shanghai dis credit the report. At the Japanese Legation. Washington, Sept. 28. At the Jap anese legation today no official confirma tion of the reported Japanese invasion of Manchuria and the reported decisive vic tory of the Japanese near Moukden, the capital of the Chinese province, could be obtained. It was pointed out, however, the invasion of Manchuria would be the direct result 6f the Japanese victory at Ping Yang, and the diplomats were will ing to credit the news of a victory. The report from Paris of the provisional agreement between Russia and China, said to have been effected in July, by which Russia agrees not to cross the Sir-i-Kol, was regarded as possible if not probable, although the fact of its having been kept so long a secret was believed to militate against its authenticity. It was said, however, such an agreement made just as the trouble between China and Japan was being precipitated, had no bearing on that struggle and was probably simply a provisional settlement of the Pamirian question which long has been a bone of contention. Russia and China. London, Sept. 28. A dispatch from Paris to the Exchange Telegraph Com pany says its correspondent there learns on the best authority that" in July last a provisional agreement was effected be tween Russia and China in regard to the future action of Russia in the Pa mirs. It is agreed by the two countries the forces of neither power should pass the Sir-i-Kol range. The agreement re established friendly relations between Russia and China, and has an important bearing upon the fortunes of China in the present struggle. Russia, however, the dispatch adds, is not likely to main tain a friendly attitude toward China without substantial terms. Yellow Feier In Salvador. San Francisco, Sept. 28.

The author of "Camp-Fires of a Na turalist" was out by himself, looking idly towards the woods now and then, as he says, but not expecting to see anything, when suddenly there ap peared on the edge of this timber some moving objects. He could not make out what they were, but there were so many of them that he concluded they must be goats. He stood still waiting for them to get nearer. Suddenly there came out of the forest, not more than seventy yards away, a huge, grizzly bear. He says: "Before I could realize what had happened, out came another, then a third, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth and a seventh. "Just think of it, seven big bears in sight all at once. I knew I was in a most dangerous situation. On one band was a bottomless precipice, and on the other a herd of the most ferocious an imals which range the mountains. "There was only one thing to do, and I did it to perfection. That was to stand perfectly still and let the bears go about their business. I was hunting bears, but not those particular bears. "There I stood in perfectly plain sight, but they did not see me. They were walking fast, and I had a capital opportunity to observe their mode of travel. I no longer wondered at my not being able to overtake them on the trail. They went swinging along in a sort of shambling trot or canter almost as fast as the gait of a horse. Some would stop for a second or two, turn ing over logs and stones, and then hur ry on to overtake the rest. "As soon as they were out of sight I hastened to assure myself that I was still alive, and to wipe the sweat from my face. I could easily have put a bul let through any of them, but what would have happened then? I might have been set upon by the whole gang, ind should not have made a fair meal for one of them." " A Presumptuous Secretary. Emperor William I. of Germany at the close of the French war dictated to his private secretary an address which he intended to deliver to the German army. The final sentence ran thus: "But do not forget that we must all be grateful toward Providence; for Provi dence has willed that we should be the instrument destined to accomplish what are such great events in the history of the world." The secretary, having his own ideas, as even the secretaries of emperors and kings cannot help hav ing, wrote: "Providence has permitted.' "Stop!" said the aged emperor. "Do you imagine that I could have sup ported the burden of this war if I had not entertained the firm conviction that Providence wilted it? Write the word as I dictated it." Chinese Emperor Dissatisfied. London, Sept. 28. A dispatch from Shanghai says that the emperor is dis satisfied with the course events are tak ing, and that affairs are gradually work ing toward a coup d'etat. The Chinese warship Kwang Chan is reported lost while running from the. tight at the month of tbe ialu river.
