There Is absolutely no founda tion for sensational reports of war In China, and the boyoiitt of American goodB Is rapidly adjusting Itself and Is now practically stQnpi d. ' . The general has been. in fine health since being relieved by General Leon ard Wood, and is en mute to the east to succeed GcneraJ Bated as chief of staff. "It was at my wnuelt : that troops have been harried to the Philippines, anticipating trouble with China. It is better to be prepared for all emer gencies, and this country Is taking no chances. All tlx ral powers have troops in the celestial kingdom, and there is no mmo why the United States should not. These troops are there to prevent trouble, not foment it. "There Is absolutely no foundation to the statement that Japan Is In a fair way toward becoming owner of the Philippines. The United States will turn the Philippines over to Ja pan when England turns Hongkong over to the Chinese. "The government in China Is mak ing no effort to protedt 'the lives and property of foreigners. :mtwithstand ing the general distrust of the people against missionaries. The feeling Is as Intense against the Germans and English as against the Americans." Regarding conditio In the Phil ippines, General Corbln stated thnt It haB never been better. He said: "I have broken up -entirely and de stroyed the organized iiotlles of la drones. Only one leader, Montalon of the Indrones, remains, and he Is seeking escnpe by way f the hills."

Lowell Is Popular. A. It. Stlllman, former chairman of the democratic county central com mittee of Umatilla county, candidate for the office of circuit Judge of this district, and one of the leading attor neys of eastern Oregon, In speaking of the candidacy of Judge Lowell said to the East Oregonlan today: "I believe that the candidacy of Judge Lowell for the United States senate Is well timed. I do not see any really formidable rival to his as pirations at this time In any other republican candidate who has been mentioned for the United States sen ate, and I believe thnt If Judge Low ell will make such a campaign as he Is able to make, there Is no doubt o his selection as the regular repuhll can nominee nt the primary nomlna- Ing election, and that his name will be on the official ballot ns the regu lar republican nominee. "So long ns the election of United States senator was In the hands of a moneyed organization, having Its head in Portland, I do not believe that Judge Lowell had any chance to be elected to the United States senate, "At this time, however, when the voice of the entire people of the state may be heard, and they will be able to choose the United States senatlr, I do not believe that they will lose the opportunity to select as their candi date for the United States senate a real man of the people, and they have this opportunity In the candidacy of Judge Lowell."

Not .Many Details of tho Examining Rourd's Report Are Revealed All the Numerous Tests Mude of Life "reservers Demonstrate That the Type With Which the Valentin Was EqulpiHtl Was of tho Lcust Benefit, Being Erratic In Operation and Not as Reliable as Solid Cork. San Francisco, Mnrch 8. Herbert Knox Smith, a deputy commissioner of the bureau of corporations at Washington, who has been assisting In the federal Investigation of the Valencia wreck, Is here, but Is un willing to discuss the findings of the board. "In fact," he said, "we have come to no definite conclusions ns to where the blame lies, having had no oppor tunity to examine thorougnly the evi dence we took. We examined more than 60 persons, and took 3000 pages of testimony, most of which has been filed until we can get at It systemati cally. The decisions of the board will probably be known within four or five weeks, but not sooner. "The only thing I can say In regard to the tule life preservers Is that we have found them entirely satisfactory In some cases and very defective In others. Most of the tests made In Seattle were favorable to the tule preservers, which we took from the steamers at random; but while one of them supported n dead weight of 20 pounds for 97 hours, another sank in the short space of four hours.

COST ESTIMATED AT $405 PER 50-FOOT FRONTAGE. The Cost to the City for the Street In tersections Was Placed at $14,183 Report Detailed the Investigation Trip to Portland, While One Coun cilman Had Made Observations In Tacoma and Walla Walla Mayor Fee Calls Attention to tlie City's Limit of Indebtedness Money Sow hi Treasury Must lie Used for OtI::r Stated Purposes. At the council meeting last night the street committee made Its report upon the subject of paving, and rec ommended that Main and Court streets be Improved with bltulithlc pavement, the work to be done by the Warren Construction company. The cost of the same to the property owners was estimated at $405 per 60 foot frontage, and the cost to the city for the street intersections was placed at 814,185. The committee's report was In writ ing, and told in detail of their Inves tigations while in Portland. Also, Councilman McCormmach made a personal report of his observations In Tacoma and Walla Walla, in which places he visited after having left his fellow committeemen in Portland. According to Mr. McCormmach he found bltulithlc to be by far the most satisfactory material, and said it had been recommended by the city, offi cials of both Tacoma and Walla Walla. After the written report had been read It was adopted by the council, and after some time had intervened Councilman Hlnkle asked what the next step would be towards having the paving done. In reply Mayor Fee said the next move would be to Investigate the fi nancial condition of the city and as certain where the money for paving would come from. He called atten tion to the fact that the limit of In debtedness Is $10,000, and that an ex penditure of $14,185 by the city would be necessary should the work be done. "How much Is there in the treasury now?" asked Councilman Renn. The treasurer's report was then consulted, and the amount found to be $4693.65. However, it was ex plained that this amount would be entirely used In paying for the road roller, new fire hose and other things recently purchased. Continuing, the mayor said If the council went beyond the limit of in debtedness trouble would ensue, and that the councilmen, the city attorney and himself would be made personal ly liable for any amount over the $10, 000. This risk he declared he was unwilling to take, saying that while the mud was bad he preferred It un der the circumstances. After a little further discussion the subject was then dropped. How ever, after the meeting had adjourn ed a conference occurred between the Warren company's engineers present and lumbers of the council, at which It was decided to make further efforts before abandoning the Idea of paving.
