Injured Man Died Eight Hours letter at Walla WaUa. Saya the Walla Walla Union: At 141 o'clock on Wednesday night in the railroad yardB at Wallulu, a series of deafening screams emanating from beneath a freight ear, brought a crowd hurriedly upon the scene. An examination disclosed that a man was lying prone across the track, his legs practically severed from his body. Immediately thereafter he sank Into unconsciousness, when he was pick ed up by Charles DunUp, a W. & C. R. brakeman and carried as gently as possible Into the O. R. & N. baggage room. Subsequently It was found that his name waa Joseph Delaney and that he had been working for a Mr. Stan ley, a ditch contractor In that local ity. Apparently the victim of the cas ualty had started for the O. R. & N. depot, and to curtail Journey, had heedlessly crawled under aome freight cars that were standing on the main track. The accident was caused by the Hunt train arriving from Pendle ton, and backing Into the O. R. & N. track as Is Its custom to discharge passengera. It collided with the freight cars catching the man Dela ney unawara. In charge of Dr. Shaw, Deputy Sheriff Allen Byrnes, he arrived In the city at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning when he was transferred to St. Mary's hospital, where he died 10 minutes later. Charles M.

It is learned from an authoritative source that Japan has definitely decided on an outline of the terms upon which it will withdraw Its armies from Man churia when advances to this end shall have been made by Russia. The terms of peace as decided upon by the mikado and his advlserB stip ulate that Korea is to remain under Japanese protection, and that Russia is to make no attempt In any way to interfere in the administration of that country. Manchuria Is to be returned to the Chinese empire. Vladivostok Is to be dismantled and to become a free port For a limited number of years, sub sequently to be agreed upon, Japan Is to maintain a garrison at Port Ar thur, and at the end of the agreed period the future of the port Is to be decided upon by a conference between representatives of the two powers, presided over by a representative se lected by either England or France. Russia is not to seek to acquire a naval base in Far Eastern waters, and the strength of her fleet In those waters Is to be kept within well de fined limits. The railways of Man churia are to be bought at a price arrived at by mutual settlement, from Russia by Japan, and transferred to Chinn. A large money Indemnity has been considered by Japan, but this, It Is learned, might be modified, or even altogether withdrawn, while the re tention of a Japanese' garrison at Port Arthur might also be waived, on Russia accepting the other terms. L ENCOURAGE CATTLE RAISING INDIANS PARTIAL TO WORTHLESS CAYUSES. Policy of the Department Will Be to Divert the Umatilla' Attention to More Profitable Use of tlie Reser vation Ranges Than Now Prevails Remit of Conference Between .Major McKoin and Dr. Ulckok, of Bureau of Animal Industry. Instead of their bands of worthless, mangy horses, the Indians of the Umatilla reservation are to be en couraged to run cattle on their graz ing land, thus doing away with the source of mange that has been - so troublesome for many years in this section. At the conference yesterday be tween Dr. G. S. Hickok, of the bu reau of animal Industry, and Major McKoin, the above action was decided upon. Under the plan. of action the horses will be purchased of the In dians by the bureau of animal indus try at a fair remuneration, and the Indians will then be induced by the department of Indian affairs to put the money so received into cattle. Apparently such action cannot be done without the consent of the In dians, and Major McKoin informed the East Oregonian thla morning that he will lay the matter before them at the earliest opportunity. In view of the fact that the Indians are to be paid for their cayuses, it is pre sumed that they will be agreeable to the proposition. Should they be found that way, the matter will be taken up by the department and the plan carried out. BASEBALL RECORD. Scores of the League Games Played Yesterday. Portland, April 28.

STATE MEET WILL BE IN PENDLETON Development League at Port land Has Called the Event for May 15 and 16. GOOD ROADS ASSOCIATION A VALUABLE CONVENTION, Judge Bean Is Enthusiastic, Declaring ' It Has a National Significance, on Account of Its Character and the Reputation of the Experts Who Will Attend State Development League Slay Be Held in Pendleton at) the Same Time Representative ' Men From tlie Valley Expected to Be Present A convention of the Oregon Good Roads Association will be held here on May 15 and It. Such was decid ed at the meeting of the Develop ment League yesterday, and was an nounced by County Judge H. J. Bean. , who returned from Portland thla morning. "It will be a state convention, but will be one of national significance on account of the fact that Col. R. W. Richardson, secretary of the national association, will be present and will assist in the session," said Judge Bean this morning. 1 It la also possible that a session of the State Development League will be held in Pendleton at the same time with the roads convention. Such waa suggested at the recent meeting tn Portland, but no definite action waa taken on the matter, as it was not known what rates could be secured for the delegates from the railroad company. Every effort Is to be made by the officers of the state association and' the local county court to make the coming good roads convention a suc cess. This, It Is believed, can be done, although there remain now but two weeks in which to work the mat ter up.. Under the rules of the state as sociation the following are delegates to the convention by virtue of the positions; county Judges, commission ers, surveyors, road superintendents and road supervisors. Besides these,. 20 delegates at large are to be ap pointed by the county Judge of each county, and five delegates at large by each commercial association, or board of trade. Owing to the distance it Is not ex pected that many representatives will, be present from the counties of west ern Oregon, although Judge J. H. Scott, of Marion county, president of the association, and a number of other prominent men, will be present But it Is expected that from the counties east of the mountains a large attendance will be present County Judge Bean states that all of the supervisors of this county will be requested by letter to be present, and that a complete representation from thla county la desired. The two principal men at the con vention will be Judge Scott presi dent of the state association, and Colonel Richardson, secretary of the national organization. Judge Scott is known as an expert on road making, having had many yeara of experience in Marion county. When the Pen dleton council was discussing the question of macadamizing, short time ago, they talked of asking Judge Scott to come here for the purpose of advising them on the subject.
