A passenger from one of the liners died of the disease soon after reaching shore. The new explosive used by Japan is a surprise to all military experts. It seems the strongest known, piercing the heaviest armor plate easily. Its manu facture is a profound secret. Four men entered a Chicago store one block from the Central police sta tion and compelled the six clerks and 14 customers to stand back while they robbed the cash register. They secured $3S5. Senator Quay's condition is now crit ical. The Good Roads convention in 1005 will be held in Portlaad. Premier Combes, of France, says papacy must not meddle in internal affairs. The secretary of the interior has de cided that Oregon has no title to Kla- math reservation swamp lands. The news of the fall of Kinchou was first published in Russia while the peo ple were celebrating the coronation of the caar. - The Japanese loss in the battle of Kinchou is placed at 12,000 and the Russians are thought to have suffered a heavier loss.

Viceroy Alexieff insists that Kuro patkin fight instead of retreating to Harbin. The latter claims he has not men enough. Inspectors recommend that Superin tendent Potter, of the Chemawa Indian school, be retained, but reprimanded for lax methods. A detachment of 15,000 men, think ing that Feng Wang Cheng had been abandoned by the Japanese, advanced on the town but were surprised by 80, 000 of the mikado's men. The Rus sians lost 4,000 killed and over 1,000 prisoners.

Lackawanna Loses Five Millions ia Fire at New York. New York. Jnne 1. Seven freight and coal piers of the Delaware, Lacka nnna A Western railroad in Jersey City were destroyed today . by a fire that started on the barge Alien Churchill, which lay alongside pier 12, on which a lot of barrels cf oil were gtortd. The loes is estimated at $1, 000,000. The flames spread rapidly. Pier 12 was 800 feet long and was soon ablaze its entire length, and the fire men who were trying to ngnt tne nre . - , T from the shore were able to accompiisn but little. Tim flamaa swent across to pier 11 and beyond, being finally checked at pier 5, which is a new coal trestle, steel-framed and iron-clad, uere tne firemen and fireboats made a despeiate atand and staved the advance of the fire until the burning piers crumbled and fell into the water. Althnncrh there was little Wind. sparks fell all along the water-front for nearly a mile, endangering tne .Lacxa wanna station and even the Hamburg- American and Bremen line piers, where the firemen were kept Dusy piaying streams of water upon the blaze and over the ships at their docks. A number of canal boats and several tugs were burned, the loss of small boats being variously estimated at irom 30 to 200. The number of freight cars is not known, but the loss on this class of rolling stock will be heaw. The Lackawanna road moved its passenger coaches out to tne Meadows, ana one train of freight cars was moved out and saved. Piera 11 and 12 were full of general merchandise: triers 7. 8. 9 and 10 were used for coal and pier 6 was a grain loading pier, Ho person was seriously injured. Vice-President Loom is. of the Lacka wanna, placed the total loss by the fire at $5,000,000, based on trie original nrmt of the niera burned, on the freight stored on them and to some extent the loss of business which must necessarily nnsna. It also includes tne burning oi the canal boats and barges thickly moored between some ot tne piers. The Lackawanna company carries its own insurance. - CAVALRY WILL BB SENT. Marines Could Accomplish Little la a Rough Country. Washington, June 1. High officials of the administration are considering the expediency of making war on the Moroccan bandits if France declines to land troops and assume responsibility for the bandits' punishment. These officials have discussed . the-best method of procedure and have reached the con elusion that nothing but cavalry ac customed to campaigning in a moun tainous country would be of service. It was at first suggested that several hundred marines should be landed at Tangier and mounted. They would be Bent in pursuit of the kidnappers of Ion M. Perdicatis and his stepson. This was considered inadvisable, as the marines would not be experienced in that kind of warfare. If an expedition is sent it will comprise trained cavalry men from the United States. The president and general staff think this government should send an armed expedition after the brigands. Secre tary Hay and other adminjstiation officials discourage the idea and think France should take the necessary steps There has been no intimation, however, that France will do this, but Mr. Hay feels sure that she will take action be fore Great Britain or the United States sends an armed force into the sultan's country. Death for Wire-Cutting-. Seoul, June 1. M. Hayashi, Japan ese minister to Corea, has notified the foreign office that the Japanese military authorities are constantly complaining that telegraphic communication with General San is frequently interrupted. The Japanese military authorities sus pect that the country people are cut ting the lines at vanor.s unfrequented places. M. Hayashi states that the Japanese emperor has issued a procla mation inflicting the death penalty on all persons caught destroying telegraph lines, and asks that the Corean govern ment take similar action. Japan Wants Reply Soon. London, June 1. The Standard's Tientsin correspondent telegraphs that Uchida, the Japanese minister at Pe- kin, has demanded an immediate reply to the inquiry previously Bent to the Wai-Wa-Pu as to whether China is prepared to hold and administer tbe territory the Japanese have conquered, adding that otherwise Japan must ap peal to other powers to undertake the responsibility at the expense of China. Minister Uchida has notified the Chi nese government at Pekin that Port Arthur will soon be captured. Kept Long In Close Quarters. Tangier, June 1. The statement published in the United States, through the medium of a news agency that M Percradis and his companion, M. Var ley, who are captives in the stronghold of the Brigand Razulis, have been per mitted to go boar hunting and are gen erally enjoying themselves, is a delib erate lie. Until a day or so ago they were confined in a small room, the ceil ing of which was so low that they could not stand upright. Two Divisions of Fleet. Paris, June 1. The Echo de Paris' St. Petersburg correspondent learns that the Baltic fleet will leave in two detachments. The first, consisting of four battleships, is due to start June 24. The battleship Orle will be re floated. The dynamos, the only part of her machinery seriously damaged, will be changed. NEEDS A RAILROAD CENTRAL OREGON IS RAPIDLY COM ING TO THE FRONT. State Land Board Touring That Section Examining Irrigation Projects Mem bers Surprised by What They Saw Lately Only Sagebrush Now Thriving Farms are to Be Seen Everywhere. . Haystack, Or., June 1. "I- am as tonished that Central Oregon has not long ago been tapped by a railroad con necting this section of the state with Portland," said Governor Chamberlain today upon his arrival here from Shan iko, in company with Secretary of State Dunbar and State Treasurer Moore. These state officers, as members of the state land board, are on their way to the Upper Deschutes country to exam me the irrigation projects which nave been started under the provisions oi the Carey arid-land act. They came out to Shaniko, in the southern part of Sherman county, over the Columbia Southern, and from there took a private conveyance and are traveling across Crook county, learning what they can of the country, so that they may the more intelligently act upon questions that will arise in the transac tion of business relative to the irriga tion enterprises. Though the membeis of the board knew something of the general charac ter of the country and have read statis tics showing the quantity and values of the products of this part of the state, they admit that they had no fair con ception of the progress that has been made in the development of industrial resources and of the possibilities for future growth. With one accord they express the opinion that Oregon should be looking after her commercial inter ests in Central Oregon and not permit California to step in and take trade that naturally belongs to Portland While they have not yet visited the ir Titration projects, they have seen enough of the newly-settled country to convince them that this section of Ore gon is destined to be a great producer of wealth through its agricultural re sources, and that if the irrigation enter prises prove to be the success that is now expected of them, Crook will be one of the most important farming counties of the state. BANDIT TOLD TO BBWARB. America Will Hunt Him to His Death It Captive Is Harmed. Washington, June 1. Raisulli, the Moroccan bandit, was today notified by Secretary Hay, through United States Consul General Gummero, that if seri ous injury comes to his American cap tive, Ion Perdicaris, the United States will hunt him to his death. This will be done whether it takes weeks, months or years. Consul General Gummero was instructed to make this message to Raisulli as forcible as pos sible, and to inform him that no Euro pean nation will be permitted to pre vent his punishment. The cablegram was sent in response to the one from Mr. Gummero advising that Raisulli would kill Perdicaris and his stepson unless the terms of his pro posed ransom met with prompt com pliance. Mr. Hay has reached the con clusion that the terms imposed cannot and will not be accepted. If Raisulli carries out his threat and kills his cap tives, the sultan of Morocco will be lm mediatetly notified that he must hunt down and execute the bandit. Ameri can ships will remain in the harbor of Tangier until the matter is settled. If necessary, American cavalrymen will be sent there to assist in capturing the brigands. Such an interventionwill be a friendly one and would meet with as sistance from the sultan. Secretary Hay is still hopeful that be will take up the matter and insti tute the necessary measures to . capture and punish the bandits. In any event, he feels sure that Great Britain will assist the United States, as Cromwell Varley, kidnapped with M. Perdicaris, is a British subject. Two Hundred Made Homeless. Ottawa, Kan., June 1. The Marie des Cygenes river here is higher than ever known, and the overflow has caused a serious flood. Above here, however, the stream is falling, and the worst probably is over. Two hundred families are homeless in the lower por tions of Ottawa and vicinty. In North Ottawa several business houses are flooded, there are two feet of water in the Santa Fe depot, and the lower floor of the Marsh hotel is covered with water. The Santa Fe yards are two feet under water. Fresh Sensation In Dreyfus Case. Paris, June 1. A fresh sensation is promised in the Dreyfus case. The minister of war has caused the arrest of an officer whose identity is kept a profound secret and who is charged with having expended a large amount of money at the trial of Dreyfus at Rennes in order to secure tbe convic tion of the accused. The officer is in close confinement in the fortress of Valerian and no information regarding the case will be made public at present, Mined by the Japanese. Vladivostok, June 1. It is believed from information received here that the Japanese have mined Peter the Great Gulf, on which this town is situ ated, a task of easy accomplishment be cause of the recent heavy fogs. A small Corean sailing vessel was blown np yesterday. The region is quiet bo far as . military operations are con LOST 3,500 MEN. Japanese Paid Dearly for kinchou Vic tory 2.000 Russians Killed. - J Tokio, May SI. The Japanese casu alties at Nan Shan are now estimated at 3,500. The number of Russian guns captured exceed 70. While Japan paid heavily for her victory she scored a sweeping and val uable victroy over the Russians, in cap turing 57 guns, clearing the way to Port Arthur, and inflicting losses on the Russians, which, in the end, are ex pected to total 2,000 men. . It is doubtful if the Russians will stand again north of Port Arthur. They retired from the field beaten, and they failed to rally at Nan Quan Ling, where it was anticipated a second stand would be made. The desperate onslaughts of the Jap anese on the heights of Nan Shan were telling, for the Russians left 300 dead in the trenches there. A complete search of the field is expected to show a greater number of dead. Nan Quan Ling was occupied yester day morning by a force of infantry, ar tillery and engineers under the com mand of General Nakamura. The main Japanese force spent Friday night billeted in the villages around Nan Shan. The soldiers were greatly fa tigued as a result of the constant fight ing, but they entered with much spirit upon the new operations. A force fo Russians held San Chi Li Pu station, which is northwest of Dal- ny, but the Japanese drove them out. The Russians abandoned and burned the station and retreated in the diiec tion of Port Arthur. The estimates of the Russians engag ed in the defense of Kinchou, Nan Shan hill and the south shore of Talienwan bay vary, but it is evident that the Russians drew for men from the forces at Port Arthur and offered all the resist ance possible. It is understood here that Lieutenant General Stoessel, com mander of the military forces at Port Arthur, was in personal command of the recent operations. MASKINQ REAL FORCE. Russlaas Now See Object of Movements of Japanese Troops. St. Petersburg, May . 31. The news contained in the following dispatch to the emperor from General Kuropatkin, is all that was officially given out to night : "On May 25 a Japanese force con sisting of a battalion of infantry and a squadron of cavalry advanced on the main road to Liao Yang, but was soon compelled to retire toward Tkhouine nez. "A second Japanese detachment, con sisting of a battalion of infantry, at the village of Dapu, in the Ai valley, fired heavily on our Cossacks from 10 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon, but the Japanese infantrv failed in an at tempt to turn the Cossacks' right flank . .. .. A and intercept tneir retrear." While the dispatch is brief and bald, it is considered extremely significant. Th fafc that tha Japanese com menced to advance along the main Liao Yang road immediately they had forced the neck of tbe Liao rung peninsula and cut off Major General Fock from any co-operation with the Russians in tbe norttfshows a thorough understand ing between the Japanese commanders. The authorities here believe the ad vance from Feng Wang Cheng has only been suspended, pending the elimina tion of Fock's force, and they expect that the advance upon Liao Yang will now be pushed in earnest. It is evident that the continual shift ing of and skirmishing by the advanced posts- of the Japanese around Feng Wang Cheng have been merely success ful in masking the real force, consist ing of the third army, which is mov ing north from Takushan. It is ex pected that this force will be hurled upon Liao Yang, while the Southern Japanese force is busy wtih Port Ar thur. The fact that there is almost a com plete suspension of press messages from Russian correspondents at the front is taken to indicate that import ant mcveents are pending. Russlaas Must Seek Fort. St. Petersburg, May 31. There is no attempt here to disguise the fact that the successful forcing of the neck of Kwan Tung peninsula proper puts a practical end to resistance to the enemy until he reaches the actual fortifications around Port Arthur. Although there are many strong positions in the more than 25 miles before the perimeter of the fortress is reached, the authorities admit that the Russians can offer little resistance, and must now retire within the fortress and prepare for the final struggle. Tactics Surprise Russians. Niu Chwang, May 31. A staff officer just from Mukden says the deliberation and precision of the enemy has surpris ed General Kuropatkin, who at first believed the Japanese campaign would be one of dashing recklessness with more theatrical display about the man euvers than strategy. A Chinese merchant inst arrived, who left Dalny five days ago, says the Russians ha ye vacated the town which had not been occupied by the Japanese forces. Declared State of Blockade. Washington, May 31. Minister Griscom cables to the state department from Tokio under today's date that the Japanese government declares the Liao Tung peninsula fiom Pitsewo to Pul ientan to be in a state of blockade. HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON wool at man price. Million and a Half Pounds Change Hands at Heppner Sale. Heppner The first wool saleaday in Heppner as arranged by the Oregon Woolgrowera' association resulted in 1,500,000 pounds of wool changing hands, bringing to the growers a little over $202,000. This is by far the larg est sale ever made in a single day in Heppner, and from every point of view was very satisfactory. Previous condi tions this year have been discouraging to the sheepmen and the industry in general, owing to the bad sheep mark et, but these wool sales added so much encouragement that there is a different feeling, not only among the growers but in all lines of business, for the sheep is a prominent factor in the bus iness affairs of Morrow county. For almost every lot of wool offered, the growers received more than they expected. The average price received was about Z cents per pound, which is fully a cent better than received last year, owing to a better quality of wool. this being caused by the open winter and favorable spring, causing slight shrinkage and good staple. The early grass caused sheep to take on flesh and the fleeces were heavy, many flocks averaging a pound more to the sheep than last year. The advance in price and the increased weight of the fleeces has added thousands of dollars to the pocketbooks of the prosperous sheep growers. The sales will take out about half of the wool which will be handled in . the Heppner market. It is estimated that about 1,500,000 pounds yet remain in the hands of the growers in this tern tory. Other salesdays have been ar ranged for June 8 and 23, to be held here for the sale of this wool. The sealed-bid method in which salesdays are designated when a num ber of growers and buyers can get to gether, was inaugurated three years ago. The bids of the buyers are placed in a hat, the highest offer taking., the clip, if the grower desires to accept it, This method has been very successful, there having been but very few private sales. BtOQBST SAWMILL ON COAST. To Be Brected at Astoria by Hammond and Other Interests. Astoria Negotiations are said to be in progress whereby the interest of A. B. Hammond and the Seaside lumber company in the southern and western portion of this county are to be united and the largest sawmill on the coast is to be erected. The lumber company is composed of wealthy Eastern men, who own a large tract of spruce timber in the Necanicum district. Mr. Ham mond also has extensive interests in that section, and by combining the two sufficient timber is available to keep a large mill in operation for many years Unquestionably the closing ' of this deal would mean, the extension of the Astoria & Columoia River railroad south to Tillamook.

Baker City At a mass meeting of citizens held here it was resolved to organize a fair association for the pur pose of providing a race traca and grounds for the Eastern Oregon District Fair, which will be held here this fall. There was a large number of prominent citizens present, and most of whom signified their intention to subscribe liberally for the stock of the associa tion. Two years ago the district fair was a failure here because there was no race track and no suitable buildings for the accommodation of exhibits. Push Work on the Creamery. La Grande Work on the new cream ery trick building on Elm street is be ing pushed. The structure will be ready for occupation in about two weeks. S. L. Hunter of Union has the contract. This will be the third at tempt to establish a creamery in this city. - The building is 40x50 feet, and Will be supplied with the latest im proved machinery. It will be one of the most up-to-date and modern cream eries'in Eastern Oregon. - Scouring Mills Operate. Pendlton The scouring mills got under way with night and day shifts last week, and will run full time until the wool clip is exhausted. Thirty-six hands are employed in all. Washing ton wool has been coming in for several days. EUQBNB QBTS THE PAIR. Douglas County Is Pacified With a Cash Bonne of $500. Eugene H. L. Traver, F. A. Rankin and J. M. Williams have returned from Roseburg, where they were suc cessful in securing the location of the next exhibit of the Second Southern Oregon District Agricultural society at Eugene. There has been a strong de sire to have the fair here again thia fall, and the local directors have been working for some time with that end in view.- Douglas county at first ob jected on the ground that they were still in debt $2,000 on their grounds at Roseburg, which they hoped to be able to raise if they had the fair there. At a meeting it was arranged that the fair should come to Eugene this year and that Douglas receive from Lane county "5500 bonus, and also that two new directors will be chosen from this part of the district to succeed those from Douglas county, who soon retire. Reservation Land For Sale. Oregon City The Oreogn City land office has been authorized by the inter ior department to offer for sale town ships 5 and 6, ranges 7 and 8 west, in," the Grancr Ronde Indian reservation. The sale will be made by separate sealed bids, which will be received be tween August 1 and August 8, and opened at 1 o'clock p. m. August 8- Each bid is to be accompanied by a certified cheek for 20 per cent of the amount bid, the same to be credited on. the purchase price and the balance paid on establishing his citizenship. Sheep Hurry In Early. Pendleton Anticipation of an un usually overcrowded condition of sum mer range in the Blue mountains thia summer is already sending bands of sheep to the hills, ' although spring: range is not yet exhausted. To a cer tain extent the early band makes the coup in the summer range race in the Blue mountains, and hence it is that, for over a week flocks have been hitting' the trails for Grant county ficm North ern Morrow and Western Umatilla. To Blot Out the Mange. Salem Frank Spike and A. Thompson, of Umatilla county, have been appointed local inspectors by the Domestic Animal commission to con struct vats and dip the mangy horses that are worth saving and to kill such, of the animals as are past curing. These appointments are made at the? suggestion of the Stockmen's associa tion there and they will have to bear the expenses. Baker City Wool Sales.
