RUSSIA IN NEED OF MONEY.
Issue of $200,000,000 Five . Per.. Cent
Bonds Will Soon Be Made.
London, April 20. Reports are again
in circulation here of Russia's need to
raise money. When the war broke oat
the gold held abroad by the Bank of
Russia amounted to $87,500,000. Of
this amount $50,000,000 has been ex
pended and therefore, according to
these reports, it would soon be neces
sary tohave recourse to the gold held
in the treasury. According to" a tele
gram from Brussels printed this morn

conference at St. Petersburg will be the
issue of $200,000,000 in 5 per cent
treasury bonds in Paris, Brussels and
Amsterdam.
Vice Admiral Togo's report is ac
cepted here as fully explaining the mys
tery of the destruction of the battleship
Petropavlovsk and the newepapers pay
warm tribute to the daring and skill
displayed by the Japanese, contrasting
these with the apparent lack of fore
sight and vigilence on the part of the
Russians. War correspondents arriv
ing at Ping Yang report that the roads
are in terrible condition, but that the
Japanese troops in marching display
splendid endurance.
The Daily Mail's Ping Yang corres
pondent says that the food supplies are
being pushed torth on a gigantic scale.
All the preparations prove that the
Japanese are in readiness to sustain a
prolonged campaign. The corres
pondent describes the irresistible cour
age shown by the Japanese in the fight
ing at Chingju, charging recklessly up
hill in the face of superior numbres.
The Daily. Chronicle's correspondent
at Shan Hai Kwan gives a report that a
Japanese fleet of 26 vessels has been
seen escorting 100 transports north of
Port Arthur.
WILL CAUSB DEBATE.
Pension BUI Will Come Up Before the
Senate This Week.
Washington, April 20. There will
be an effort to keep appropriation bills
to the front all the time during the
present week in the senate, and to this
end the sundry civil bill -will be taken
up first. When it is disposed of the
pension appropriation bill will be pre
sented, and it. is hoped that the bill
will in turn be immediately followed
by the general deficiency bill. The
senate leaders are apprehensive of the
effect of the consideration of various
bills on the calendar, and aie exercis
ing their ingenuity to keep them in the
background.
There are some features of the sun
dry civil bill which will cause discuB
sion, and it is believed it will occupy
two days. The pension bill usually
goes through without debate, but it is
probable there will be quite a little dis
cussion on the pending bill.
If opportunity is offered, Senator
Hansbrough will endeavor to obtain
consideration of the Indian agreement
bills. Senator Fairbanks also stands
ready to seize the first chance that offers
to press his bill for a new. executive
building in Washington.
BUQ EATS UP WHARF PILING.
Resembles Water Flea and Works at
Edge of Water.
Hoquiam, Wash., April 20. Com
missioner E. Davis recently went to
Westport and made an examination of
the Westport wharf. He finds the en
tire piling o( the wharf practically des
troyed by a small bug resembling a
water flea. The piling was put in
but five years ago and now is ruined
and will be replaced for .safety.
Mr. Davis found the . bug hard at
work. He cuts off the piles at low
water mark, so that 18-inch piling is
found to be within a few inches of be
ing entirely cut off. Cedar, which
usually is proof against insects, has no
terror for the bug, and he cuts this
faster than fir.
If well driven piling is to last but
five years, it means some method must
be found to save them or an endless ex
pense is certain. The insect is known
to scientists as the liminolae, and is
said to be very destructive to wood of
this kind. An effort will be made to
find a remedy for the pest.
Inquiry on the Missouri.
Washintgon, April 20. The navy
department today received a dispatch
from Rear Admiral Barker, command
ing the North Atlantic fleet giving the
personnel of the court of inquiry that
is engaged in making an investigation
of the cause of the recent accident on
the Missouri. They are: Rear Ad
miral Chadwick, president; Captain
Joseph N. Hemphill, commanding the
Kearsarge and Commander Southerland
commanding the Cleveland, with Lieu
tenant Mark Bristol as advocate. The
investigation will require a week.
Russian Victory Is Denied.
St. Petersburg, April 20. The mili
tary general staff discredits the story
that the Russians attacked 12,000 Jap
anese troops at the moment of landing'
at Yogampho and drove them back to
their ships. No affair of that sort has
been reported by General Kouropatkin.
It is reported that Viceroy Alexieff has
received formal orders that the fleet
must not leave Port Arthur before the
arrival of the new commander, Admiral
Skrydloff.
i
Japanese Ship Reported Sunk.
St. Petersburg, April 20. A dis
patch from Port Arthur says several eye
was lost outside Port Arthur during the
last bombardment by striking one of its
own floating mines. 1
GIVES RUSH ORDERS
CZAR WANTS BATTLESHIPS TO JOIN
r FLEET JULY 15.
Naval Strength In Far East Demands In
creasePort Arthur May Be Cut Oft
Superiority of Japanese on Water
dives Them Excellent Opportunity to
Operate on Land.
Paris, April 20. "The emperor, in
receiving a visit from High Admiral
Duke Alexis today," says the St. Pet
ersburg correspondent of the Echo de
Paris, "informed him that he - desired
the Baltic fleet to be ready to start ty
July 15. Orders accordingly have been
sent to Cronstadt to hasten the prepar
ation of its fleet for sailing on the. date
mentioned under Rear Admiral Rojest
venski, unless another admiral, of
whom there has been much talk shall
be selected.
"Vice Admiral Doubassoff declined
the command of the Black sea fleet.
It is probable that Admiral Chukin,
director of the naval academy, will be
appointed."
MAY CUT OPF PORT ARTHUR.
Superiority of Fleet dives the Japanese
an Excellent Opportunity. -
St. Petersburg, April 20. St. Peters
burg is flooded with rumors from all
directions regaiding the plans of the
Japanese, now that the Russian fleet at
Port Arthur is unable longer to menace
their troop transports. -
The Associated Press in a dispatch
from Port Arthur gave 20 as the num
ber of Japanese transports reported as
having been seen steaming in the direc
tion of Yinkow, the seaport of Niu
Chwang. Officials of the general staff,
while having no information in this re
spect, would not be surprised if the
number should turn out to be correct,
or even that a larger number is steam
ing there.
Vice Admiral Togo's immense super
iority enables him to hold the Russian
squadron in Port Arthur and Japanese
transports, therefore, can safely pass
through the straits of Pechili and
attempt to land at the head of the Liao
Tung gulf, under the guns of the war
ships, as did General Shatter's army at
Diaquiri, Cuba. Should this succeed,
the Japanese will be in an excellent
position to execute a flank movement
on Liao Yang, or cut off Port Arthur.
CONDITIONS IN PORTO RICO.
Qovernor Hunt Reports America as Rap
idly darning Trade.
New York, April 20. Governor
Hunt, of Porto Rico, arrived here today
on the steamer Ponce from San Juan
He will remain in the United States
about two weeks. Governor Hunt says
he had not heard of his appointment
of judge of the United States district of
Montana and Wyoming, and would say
nothing about his intention in regard
to the appointment. He will spend
considerable time in Washington in
connection with official duties and
eventually will return to Porto Rico at
the end of two weeks. Speaking of
conditions on the island Governor Hunt
said:
"Just at present a strong effort is
being made to promote a market in the
United States for Porto Rico by prepar
ing for an extensive exhibit at St
Louis. Coffee will be the feature of
the island's exhibit because fruits and
cotton will be also displayed. Ameri
cans are planting oranges quite exten
sively. The groves are growing well.
Cotton bids fair to be very profitable
Coffee crop will be about normal this
year for the first time since the hur
ricane, and if a slightly higher price
can be had for the crop planters would
be able to relieve their estates of part
of their old mortgage debts and will be
satisfied.
"It is probable that the export will
exceed the value of import by a million
dollars. Trade with the United States
increases rapidly and will continue to
grow as the sugar, fruit and cotton are
being grown.
America May Step' in.
- Santo Domingo, April 20. United
States Minister Powell informed the
minister of foreign affairs today that in
the event of any foreign pow er attempt
ing to force a settlement of the claims
of its citizens, thus excluding the
claims of other nationalities, he would,
in the name of his government, take
immediate charge of all the custom
houses of the government, place in each
a military guard, and protect the same
in the interest of the United States
creditors, basing his action upon the
recent decision of The Hague tribunal.
Japanese Army Pays as It does.
Seoul, April 20. A dispatch from
Ping Yang, under yesterday's date, re
ceived here at 7 o'clock this morning,
says the conutry in the wake of the
Japanese army is resuming its normal
condition. The majority of the in-
habitants left their homes before the
troops arrived, but are now returning.
They have learned that the Japanese
soldiers treat the people well, paying
for their supplies, and are under
strict discipline.
s
Influx of Chinese:
Victoria, B. C, April 2D. One hun
dred and twelve Chinese are coming on
the Canadian Pacific steamer Empress
of China for this port, according to
special cable dispatches . to the head
quarters of the company.. As each
Chinese has to pay $500 head tax, tne
officials here are puzzled to know what
it means. It is surmised that the Jm
press' crew of Chinese may be , wanted
ashore, but the officials have no reason
for such a step.
AMERICA CAN HARDLY ACT NOW.
Precedent Against Intervention for Wire
less Telegraph Company. .
Washington, April 19. One of the
principal-wireless telegraph companies
has filed at the state department-an
energetic protest against the decree , of
Admiral Alexieff that newspaper cor
respondents in the Far East during the
war shall be treated as spies. The
state department has taken the protest
under consideration, but following the
almost unbroken practice it probably
will decline to take any action on a
hypothetical case. If an American cit
izen is arrested by the Russian officials
the state department immediately will
lay down a line of policy to meet this
novel departure in international law.
It ia realized that newspaper corres
pondents using wireless telegraphy in
the neighborhood of naval operations
might unwittingly give information of
great value to the enemy, whose ves
sels, being also equipped with wireless
telegrahy, might readily take up mes
sages sent to a shore station.
The state department is loath to es
tablish a precedent by protest that
might hereafter embarrass our own
naval commadners. The matter is
said by a distinguished military officer
here to emphasize the pressing need for
an international agreement fixing the
exact status of newspaper correspond
ents in case of war.
WILL ASK NATION TO MAKE. HASTE.
Oregon Delegation Desires '05
Board Be Named at Once.
Fair
Washinton, April 19. Copies of the
Lewis and Clark exposition bill, as it
was signed by the president, were de
livered from the printing office today
and distributed among the various gov
ernment departments. The Oregon
senators, early this week, expect to see
cabinet officials and urge the early ap
pointment of the government board
which is to have supervision of the gov
ernment exhibit. Until this board is
appointed and makes an estimate of the
amount of space that will be needed for
the government exhibits and for exhib
its from Alaska, the Philippines, Ha
waii and the Orient, the supervising
architect will be unable to proceed with
he preparation of plans for buildings,
For this reason, it is desired that the
board shall be named without delay
The senators also expect to see the
president and lay before him the list of
countries which it is desired shall be m
vited by this government, through the
state department, to participate in the
exposition. When this is accomp
lished, there is nothing left for the
Oregon delegation to do in furtherance
of the exposition so far as the govern
ment is concerned.
DON'T KILL LAWS.
China's Action on T eaty Will Have
No Effect on Ihem.
Washington, April ' 19. Attorvney
General Knox has handed to the presi
dent his opinion regarding the validity
of the Chinese exclusion law. While
the opinion has not been made public,
it is 'known the attorney general holds
in effect that the denunciation of the
treaty by China does not operate to nul
lify the existing laws, and that the ex
elusion can be enforced as rigidly here
after as under the treaty.
In itB effect the exclusion law is more
drastic than the treaty. While the
treaty is in force, the points of differ
ence between the law and treaty are de
cided in cacordance with the terms of
the latter. It is the hope of the Chi
nese government that a new treaty will
be negotiated which will prove more
favorable to Chinese immigrants that
is the present treaty. Indeed, such
treaty is now being considered.
Canal Papers All Drawn Up.
Paris, April 19. All the papers nec
essary for the transfer of the Panama
canal to the United States are now com
pleted. They include inventories and
schedules of the property belonging to
the company in Panama, here and else
where. These have been carefully gone
over and checked by W. A. Day and
Charles W. Russell, the assistant attor
ney generals who came from Washing
ton to assist in the transfer of the prop
erty and the officers of the company,
The most important paper is the con
tract for the sales.
WU1 Not Let Fleet Go Out.
Paris, April 19. The Eclaire's St.
Petersburg correspondent says he is in
formed that a formal order has been is
sued to Vicreoy Alexieff not to permit
the Russian fleet to leave Port Arthur
before the arrival of Vice Admiral
Skrydloff. It is the opinion in high
naval circles that it will not be neces
sary to dispatch the Baltic squadron to
the Far East, as tne army, it is be
lieved, will be able to cope with the
Japanese forces.
Japan Will Have Submarine Boats.
London, April 19. While it is au
thoritatively stated that the Japanese
have no submarine navy at the present
time, and therefore it is impossible that
the Russian battleship. Petropavlovsk
could have been sunk by a boat of this
class, it is understtood that the Japan
ese arsenals and navy yards are working
overtime on two or - more submarine
boats, which will be ready before the
Russian Baltic squadron reaches the
Far East. .
HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
INDIANS ON THB MOVE,
Roving Portion Begins to Leave Reser
vation for the Summer. ,
Pendleton The roving portion of the
Indians 6n the reservation or those
who wintered on the Columbia, is al
ready stirring abroad, and making in
some cases for the foothills. The sum
mering season of the small bands of no
mads begins early in April. There are
many Indians scattered over the country
who do not cultivate the advantages of
the reservation.'
The more industrious and less proud
of these red men make money off wool
at this season. With a packhorse or
two, they wander around the the sheep
districts, and while the buck gets the
living by hunting and fishing, the
squaw pulls or picks up wool wherever
she can find it? Bits of fleeces pulled
off wool wagons, when the latter start
running, or even wool - from sheep
which have died on the range all go to
make up the sackfulls, which are after
ward packed to town for sale. Indians
will carry loads like this 100 or 150
miles for eight cents a pound.
The migration of the reservation In
dian does not take place until " May,
when hundreds of them go to the moun
tains for the summer to spend the seas
on hunting and nsning. As summer
progresses, he pushes farther and farth
er into the hills, not to come back to
the reservation until the early snows of
autumn drive him back. -
, LOQQER LEASES ' NEC ANICUM.
Clatsop County Court Grants Carefully
Quarded Privilege.
Astoria The county court has grant
ed the petition of C. C. Clarke, the
Seaside logger, to lease the portion of
the Necanicum river that runs through
section 28, township 6 north, range 10
west. The lease is for a period of five
years and gives the lessee the right to
improve the river channel, to erect and
construct such dams, booms, and make
such other improvements as may be
necessary fcr the purpose of making the
stream a public highway for floating
logs, timber and lumber.
He is also given the right to collect
tolls for the rafting, floating andjboom
ing of logs, timber or lumber at the
rate of 30 cents per thousand feet
Under the terms of the lease the lessee
is to secure the necessary right-of-way
from owners of property along the
course of the stream, and he gives a
oond in the sum of $2,000 to hold the
county of Clatsop harmless of any and
all damages occasioned to any person
or to proprety by the use of the stream
for floating logs. The county reserves
the right to annul the lease without
notice, should any of its provisions be
violated.
drand Ronde Drive Starts.
La Grande The logs on the Grand
Ronde river at Perry have begun to
move. The monster drive has started
from the headwaters of the stream to
ward the mills at Perry. The Grand
Ronde Lumber company will drive
about 16,000,000 feet of logs this
spring. It will become necessary to
build railroads to the vast belts of pine
lying on the head of the Grand Ronde
river and Meadow creek, as it will be
too costly and tedious to haul the logs
to the river and depend on the annual
drive to supply the mills.
Hospital for Chemawa School.
Salem Congressan Binger Hermann
has been honored by having his name
bestowed upd"n the new hospital build
ing which is to be erected at Chemawa
Indian school this year. An inspector
of the department of Indian affairs has
been here and a site for the new build
ing was selected. The structure, which
will be of brick, and will cost $15,000,
will be loctaed on the east side of the
Southern Pacific track, and north of
the new school building. It will be
known as Hermann hospital.
Report From Penitentiary. ..
Superintendent James, of the peni
tentiary, has filed his report with the
secretary of state covering the quarter
ending March 31. The principal fea
ture of the report is the financial state
ment of the institution, which shows
that the total expenses amount to $20,
305.87. Of this amuont, $1,925.19 is
deducted from the betterment fund.
There were 314 convicts in the prison
at the close of the quarter, Against 311
at the close of the last quarter.
Factory May Resume Work.
Pendleton Steps are being taken to
get the Rigby-Clove combined harvester
manufactory and foundry on a solid
basis again. W. T. Rigby, the princi
pal owner, was hard hit by the C. B.
Wade failure. T. J. Giesler, a Port
land man, is here with the intention of
organizing a stock company to operate
the concern. The harvester manu
factured is the invention of Mr. Rigby.
Warrants to Bear Six Per Cent.
La Grande The county court of
Union county has cancelled $27,000 of
county warrants, and the list included
all warrants that were bearing 8 per
cent interest. Hereafter the interest
charge on county warants will be ,but 6
per cent. Mucn of the time of the
court was devoted to road and school
district matters, and at this session the
list of judges and clerks of . election was
completed. -
GOOD WEATHER FOR SHEEP.
Eastern Oregon Wool Will Be of Better
Cleaner Quality.
I a Grande The sheepmen of Eastern
Oregon say that the late, spring, which
is 30 days behind time, will have a
splendid effect upon all of the flocks of
Eastern Oregon, and the great supply
of water now pouring down the hills on
every side will insure good pasturage-
way into the summer, and yearlings
this summer will be stionger and fatter
and bring better prices than ever before.
Lambing is now at its height, and
the increase in the flocks promises to-
be very large. Wool this year will be
of much finer quality and cleaner than
last year because the sheep will not
have to run in dust so long before
shearing time, which in this part of
Eastern Oregon will be about May 25
and the sheepmen throughout the coun
try seem very jubilant.
Wool from last year's crop in Eastern
Oregon has been sold in Philadelphia
within the past week for 17 cents, and
this is a good indication that prices
this vear will co hich.
STOCK LOSSES REDUCED.
Warmer Weather Averted the Dangers
Threatening the Herds.
Pendleton Stock reports from south
ern Umatilla and Grant counties show
conditions much improved since the
heavy snowstorm of two weeks ago, and
stock losses, which threatened for a
short time to materially thin out the
herds, have been to a great degree
averted. In valleys, where it was pos
sible, range stock was gotten out to
where grass could be found,, while
enough feed was on hand for domestic
cattle. In valleys where stock could not be
gotten out to better locations, cattle
and sheep went on short rations for
some time, but escaped after nominal
loss, as warmer weather came. Nights
were not severe after the storm, a con
dition which also greatly helped. Sev
eral thousand head of sheep and cattle
perished, but the loss was probably not
over one or two per cent above nominal..
Stock Escaped Severe Season.
Athena Foothill stockmen east and
southeast of here have not sustained
nearly aa severe stock losses as waa
feared three weeks ago, when a sudden
heavy Bnowfall. with Bevere weather
when feed was about run out, caused
apprehension that hundreds of good
cattlcwould be lost. Sdow is now out
of the lower hills sufficiently to allow
As it was, it is said 200 or 300 head,,
principally old cattle or those in poorer
condition, will cover the loss in the
mountain section.
Young Trout at Clackamas Hatchery.
Oregon CityIn the last three months
the government hatchery at Oregon
City has received 500,000 trout egga
from other government stations located
at Northville, Mich. ; Manchester, la,
and Leadville, Colo. The eggs, which
include the Lake, Rainbow and Eastern
brook varieties, have all hatched out
and will be planted in the mountain
streams of this state by July 1. These
are the same varieties that have been
placed in the Oregon streams.
