The Japanese legation here has received no official information regarding 'the bombard ment of Vladivostok. It is believed at the legation, however, that the Jap anese are now between the Russian Cruiser squadron and Vladivostok, and there is reason to believe that the Russian squadron is In the vicinity of Possiet Bay. Russian official dispatches do not mention this squadron, and this fact lends color to the belief that the Jap anese warships have shut it out of Vladivostok. .It is pointed out at the Legation that if this is true, the Rus sian vessels are in a critical position, since they must run the gauntlet of1 the Japanese squadron off Vladivos tok or the Japanese squadron off Port Arthur, before reaching a Russlon port. In a dispatch from St. Petersburg a correspondent of the Standard gives a rumor that the Czar has received a telegram to the effect that the Japan ese fleet bombarded Vladivostok all day Monday. According to this rum or only trivial damage was inflicted to the Russians, but one or two Japan ese cruisers were sunk. There is much curiosity here con cerning the resisting power of Vlad ivostok, which has been long regard ed as the Gibraltar of the Far East. Vladivostok is known to be better equipped as a naval base, and to have greater docking and repairing re sources than Port Arthur, but doubts are expressed as to the character of its defenses. Russia has been settled there for 40 years, and it is conse quently considered proDable that the defenses and guns at this place are of a somewhat obsolete, character. It is understood that during the past few years all the available new guns and war material which it was possible to send over the single-line Trans-Siberian railroad have been used for the strengthening of Port Arthur and points in Manchuria, leav ing Vladivostok with old-type guns of short range. It is reported that Vlad ivostok is ill-supplied with provisions and necessaries. Dispatches from Tokio published this morning speak of the sacrifices being made by the Japanese nation. According to the Daily Chronicle's correspondent at Tokio, the Mikado is abandoning all luxuries, the court following his example, and all are go ing to live abstemiously until the war is ended. HOPE IS ON LAND. Russia Considers That the War Has Hardly Begun. St. Petersburg, March 8. Although almost four weeks have elapsed since the Japanese fleet first attacked Port Arthur, here the war is considered hardly begun. Heavy land fighting, upon which the fate of the campaign depends, is not expected much before the end of April. By this time Rus sia will have in the field, exclusive of the large army of men required to guard the railroads, four army corps', each with a, cavalry division and an artillery brigade. All that has hap pened so far, or is going to happen un til these forces are in the field, is con sidered, according to the Russian view, to be nothing more than the prologue to the real drama. The crippling of the Port Arthur fleet was unfortunate in that it gave the enemy the command of the sea 'at the very outset. It is, however, of relatively small importance from the standpoint of the main strategy of the war, whether Port Arthur stands or falls. But as long as it holds out, and the fleet is harbored there, it will constitute a potential menace which will restrict and hamper Japan's op erations, and the Russians are deter mined to defend Port Arthur as horo ically as they did Sevastopol. No large garrisons will be retained there; 10,000 men are as good as 100,000 for defense, while the more men th.e more mouths to feed. There are enough provisions there now to last for eight months. In addition, there will be a division of Cossacks with mountain batteries on the peninsula to oppose landings and harass the enemy if it succeeds in investing the city. Flood Peril Is Passed. Harrisburg, Pa., March 9. The Ju niata and Susquehanna rivers have been falling all day and Weather Ob server Demain said tonight that they will continue to fall for 24 hours. The gorges above and below Harrisburg are still intact and there has been no movement in the" Susquehanna river since the break of yesterday and in the gorge at High Spire. The conditions in the flooded district show an im provement over yesterday and unless there is a sudden rise in the river, it is thought the worst is over. France Can Take No Offense. Paris, March 9. It is not expected that Japan's intention to build the Se-oul-Wiju railroad will cause any seri ous clash with the owners of the early French concessions. The original con cesion was granted to a French com pany in 1896. A considerable portion of the line has already been laid under French auspices and it Is understood that Foreign Minister Delcasse has sought to protect French interests along the road, as he protected the rights of the Panama Canal Company Railroad May Sell Lands. Washington. March 9. The senate today passed Senator Foster's bill authorizing the Northern Pacific Rail road Company to sell surplus lands within its right of way when it has no use for the same, and confirming sales of such lands heretofore made by this company. CHANGE IS URGED COMMISSION ASKS REPEAL OF TIM ' BET AND STONE ACT. Forests Should Be Sold at Values Fixed by Appraisers Chang Homestead v Law Richards, Pincbott and Newell Advocate Restriction of Commuta tion Clause. Washington, March - 9. The com mission appointed by the President on October 22, 1903, consisting of W. A. Richards; commissioner of the gener al land office; Gifford Pinchot, chief forester of the department of agri culture, and F." H. Newell, chief en gineer of the reclamation service, to make suggestions regarding revision of Che laws relating to public lands, has made to the president a partial report which was sent to congress to day. It recommends the repeal of the timber and stone act, and the substi tution of suitable provisions for sell ing, after appraisal, the timber on public lands that is needed in large or small quantities for industrial pur poses. The committee also recommends the repeal of the law permitting as signment of entries unaer the desert land law, and urges the importance of a more careful administration of law especially as to those provisions re lating to obtaining an adequate per manent water supply. It advocates the restricting of the commutation clause of the homestead entry where such entries are located within forest reserves or where the land is chiefly valuable for timber. It suggests the outlines for a law permit ting homestead entries upon agricul tural lands within forest reserves and the survey and description of such ag ricultural lands by metes and bounds rather than by the regular system, thus permitting the agricultural lands to be selected along the valleys and to embrace the good tillable land with out taking in extensive tracts of side hill. The recommendation also is made that when lands are restored to entry after temporary segregation ample time should be allowed homesteaders to exercise their rights, giving them the preference over persons who may wish to select the land by the use of scrip or other form of entry. DAMAGED BY SHELL FIRE. Japanese Make Impression on Batter ies at Port Arthur. Niu Chwang, March 9. New arriv als from Port Arthur confirm the ru mors in circulation here last week that the westerly batteries have been bad ly damaged by the Japanese shell fire. Desultory bombardments contin ue, but there has been an absence of concerted action on the part of the Japanesse warships for a couple of days. All of the civilian popuation has been expelled from the town. A heavily-laden train was derailed near the town Saturday, but it is not known how much damage was done. The wreck was caused by an obstruc tion being placed on the track by Jap anese agents. There has been no recent damage to the Russian squadron at the hands of Japanese, the cruiser Askold has been floated, and Expert Gilchrist now de clares that he can save the battleship Retvizan. The attempt to repair the drydock so that it would accommodate the battleship Czarevitch has been abandoned, and she will remain in a disabled condition until the close of the war, or until she can be sent to Vladivostok, where the drydock is large enough to accommodate her. Niu Chwang is now occupied by a small detachment of Cossack cavalry. AGAIN ALARM IN BALKANS. Sultan Rejects Memorandum Present ed by the Reform Powers. Vienna, March 9. The optimistic feeling regarding the situation in the Balkans has "again given way to pes simism. The Sultan was reported to have emphatically refused to ratify the Natchovitch agreement, and his at titude occasions much anxiety in the Bulgarian government. Telegrams received here today" de clare further that the Sultan has re jected the .memorandum presented by the reform powers as well as the de mands for the gendarmie commission. This commission is making slow pro gress in its work. The two civil agents are reported to have broken down un der the strain. Fare to St. Louis Fair. Chicago, March 9. A committee of the Transcontinental Passenger As sociation today decided to recommend to the general meeting of the asso ciation the adoption of "circuit rates" for the St. Louis Exposition from Pa cific Coast points. Under this ar rangement, the rate from the Coast to St. Louis through Chicago will be $75, $67.50 direct to St. Louis and $72.50 direct to Chicago through St. Louis. The question of stopovers being al lowed here was not settled. The com mittee also decided to recommend the adoption of homeseekers' rates. Japanese Take Island. Tokio, March 9. Japanese squad ron took possession of Hai-Yang-Tao, one of the Elliot group of islands, on February 29. They found only stores of coal and signaling flags there, th'e Russians having evacuated the island on February 23.

A fleet: of five Japanese battleships and : two cruisers appeared off this place at 1:25 o'clock this afternoon and bom barded the town and shore batteries for 65 minutes. ; . , The fleet approached from the di rection, of Askold Island, at the east entrance to Ussuri Bay, and about 32 miles southeast of Vladivostok. Entering - Ussuri Bay, the enemy formed a line of battle, but did not approach to a closer range than a mile and one-third. They directed their fire against the shore batteries and the town, but no damage resulted, as most of their 200 lyddite shells failed to burst. The Russian batteries, commanded by Generals Vernotez and Artamonoff, did not reply, awaiting a closer ap proach of the enemy. .The Japanese fire ceased at 2:30 p. m., and the enemy retired in the di rection of Askold Island. Simultan eously two torpedo-boat destroyers appeared near Askold Island and two more near Cape Maidel. The Japan ese ships were covered with ice. The attack " resulted in no loss to the Russians, but cost the Japanese 200,000 rubles ($100,000) in ammuni tion. Most of the projectiles were six and 12-inch shells. ' The population of Vladivostok was warned this morning of the presence on the horizon of a hostile fleet and the prospect of an attack during the day, but it remained tranquil. TO OPEN BIG TRACT. Congress Is Asked to Allow Settlers on Yakima Lands. Washington, March 8. Representa tive Jones today introduced a bill opening to settlement about 1,000.000 acres of unallotted lands of the Yak ima Indian reservation. Having the assurance of the support of the inter ior department he hopes to secure the passage of this bill at the present ses sion. The bill authorizes the secretary of the interior to classify and appraise the unallotted lands of the reserva tion. Irrigable and grazing lands are there to be thrown open under the homestead law, while timber lands will be sold under sealed bids after due advertisement. Mineral lands will be disposed ot under the mineral laws and arid land under the desert act. - In addition to complying with the requirement of the land laws, settlers will be required to pay the appraised value of the- lands they acquire. The bill recognizes the claim of the Yak ima Indians to the disputed tract of 300,000 acres lying west of theiT pres ent reservation and east of the sum mit of the mountains. The secretary is authorized to make allotments to those Indians on the reservation who have not yet -received lands, and is also authorized to set apart tracts of grazing and timber lands for the ben efit of the tribe. FIRE. LOSS GROWS. Oklahoma Now Puts Cost of Prairie Blaze at $500,000. Oklahoma City, Okla., March 7. Three persons perished in the prair ie fire and the financial loss by the fire and gale is estimated at $500,000. Further reports of property loss by both lire and wind indicate . that the first estimate was too low. The dam age by wind extends over seven coun ties in . the Southwest. The total losses from fire and storm can as yet only be estimated, but it is the gener al opinion thathey-will reach $500, 000. ' Scores of personsv are suffering from burns and broken limbs. The area from which reports of damage by wind come cover a hundred miles square and means of communication over the district are meager. This difficulty is increased by the fact that poles are burned and wires blown down. The little town of Francis was des troyed by fire, but no particulars are given. ' Three residences at Snyder were de molished, and seven persons were in jured, none, it is believed, fatally. At Mount Park, several houses were demolished, and half a dozen persons were injured, none, seriously. A strip six miles wide and. nine miles long burned 20 miles south of Hobart. The loss in the. Kiowa country will exceed $150,000. Czar Will Replace Vessels Lost. Paris, March 8.

Many Men Coming From Middle Western States. There Is indication of a large immi gration to Oregon this spring from the Middle Western. States, of a nature that will be very important in the development of the timber resources of the sate.. C. H. Stewart of Albany, one of a number of people interested in timber claims, the applications for which were suspended because en tered in the wrong district, has been corresponding with the holders of sus pended claims, with a view to con certed action in the matter of getting their applications reinstated. A number of people in the Middle Western States are included in the list of holders of suspended applica tions.

During the course of the corres pondence letters have come from lum bermen in Wisconsin, Michigan, Min nesota, and the two Dakotas to the effect that they will remove to Ore gon to reside and invest their means in timber and the necessary .mills to put it on the market. "This will be done both because of the great op portunities offered in Oregon, and be cause of the rigorous weather that has prevailed in their home states during the present winter. They are all substantial men who have had experience in the lumber business, and have been on the ground in Oregon, and are conversant with the conditions here.
