EXPECT BATTLB AT LIAO YANQ.
Russians Believe Important Develop
.. meets are Impending.
St. Petersburg. June 7. The gen
eral public at the Russian capital is
imbued with the belief that Import
ant military developments are im
pending at Liao Yang, and that a gen-
eral engagement between Kuropat-
kin's and general Kuroki's armies is
imminent. Although the authorities
are doing nothing to discourage the
idea, the best-informed circles at the
war office do not anticipate a decis
ive battle immediately, unless brought
on more or less unexpectedly by an
accidental collision between strong
columns, as often happens in war
fare. The war office's information does
not indicate that the Japanese have
concentrated for an attack ' on Gener
al Kuropatkin, and it is expected they
are not yet ready to assume the of
fensive. Nevertheless, it is known
that differences of opinion exist at
the Russian headquarters as to the ad
visability of taking the aggressive,
and it is believed this matter was the
subject of a conference between the
commander-in-chief and the Viceroy
at Mukden Tuesday.
Kuropatkin's position is becoming
very formidable, both in the number
and character of, troops at his dispos
al. The condition of some of the Si
berian reserves when called to the
colors was not satisfactory and
caused Kuropatkin misgivings, but it
is now reported that they have been
drilled into a state of efficiency.
More important, however, are the
large reinforcements of field artil
lery, in which the Russian army was
especially weak. These have now ar
rived. Nevertheless. Kuropatkin does
not consider himself strong enough
to risk the possibility of a defeat
which might be Irretrievable and re
sult in disaster or at least years of
campaigning. His friends praise his
steady conservatism, caution and re
fusal to listen to the counsel of the
hotspurs.
RUSSIA CANNOT BELIEVE IT.
Japan Held to Have No Right to Offer
Territory to China.
St. Petersburg, June 7. The Rus
sian authorities have not been ad
vised by M. Lessar, the Russian Mis-
ister to China, of the proposition al
leged to have been made to. China by
Japan to hand over the towns captur
ed by the Japanese in Manchuria to
the Chinese civil administration, or
even of the refusal of the Pekin gov
ernment to assign the administration
to a neutral power.
The foreign office cannot believe
such a proposition was submitted,
pointing out that while the war is in
progress the fact that certain terri
tory is occupied by the Japanese does
not necessarily mean it will remain in
their hands. As a belligerant, Russia
would, of course, refuse to recognize
an agreement which might hamper
her military operations, and she does
not believe the powers would consid
er even for a moment a proposition of
this character.
At the conclusion of the war, if
Japan is victorious, it is considered
that she herself is under pledge not
to undertake, even temporarily, the
civil administration of Manchuria.
MOHAMMBDIANS ARB EXCITED.
Presence of American Ships, However, Is
Having Salutary Influence.
Washington, June 7. Admiral
Chadwick today cabled to the navy
department that the presence of the
American fleet at Tangier has had a
salutary influence, but the commun
ity is in a state of great religious ex
citement. Admiral Chadwick's telegram is un
derstood to be in reply to certain crit
icisms, mainly from British sources,
upon the wisdom of sending American
warships to Morocco at this juncture,
The religious excitement mention
ed as prevailing among the Moors is
believed here to be incident primarily
to one of the annual Mohammedan
pilgrimages occurring at this season.
Undoubtedly, however, the presence
of the seven American warships at
Tangier, with a promise of rein
forcement if necessary by another
squadron, is regarded as threatening
Moorish integrity and the Moham
medan religion, and has contributed
to the excitement.
Relief for Fort.
Paris, June 7. The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the- Matin says he
learns from a trustworthy source
that the advance guard of 14,000 men
under General Stakelberg, sent by
General Kuropatkin to the relief of
Port Arthur, has already reached the
entrance to the Liao Tung Peninsula,
and the bulk of the army is following.
The correspondent of the Matin at
Niu Chwang confirms this, stating
that important movements of Rus
sian troops are proceeding to the
southward of Tachichao toward Kai
Ping.
Predicts Its Early Fall.
Paris, June 7. The leading mili
tary authorities here expect the early
fall of Port Arthur, and view this as
a most serious, if not an irreparable,
blow to Russia, the present condition
of Port Arthur being compared to
that of Metz and Sedan during the
Franco-Prussian war. It is pointed
out that General Kuropatkin is mak
ing the same fatal mistake in regard
to Port Arthur's military ability to
resist that the French made in con
nection with Metz.
Japanese Not Paying for Supplies.
Liao Yang, June 7. Merchants
from the south complain that the Jap
anese are not paying for the supplies
taken by them as they did in the ear
lier stages of the war, and assert they
are even ill-treated and Insulted when
they ask for money. Two Chinese
bandits were executed here today.
REPUBLICANS WIN
ENTIRE STATE TICKET ELECTED BY
A Bid MAJORITY.
Democrats Successful In a Number of
Counties on the Legislative a
County Tickets Local Option Will
Carry by 2.000 Direct Primary Nom
lnatlng Law Swept the State.
In the election Monday the re
turns indicate that the republican
stats ticket is elected by a. plurality
of 20,000.
' In the Second District practically
complete returns indicate that J. N.
Williamson has been re-elected by a
plurality of 13,000 votes. In the First
District Binger Hermann will have
more than 7000 votes. Incomplete re
turns place his plurality slightly un
der that figure.
Incomplete returns from 25 of 33
counties make it certain that the lo
cal option law has carried by a good
majority. The 2000 votes in Mult
nomah county cast against the meas
ure have already been overcome, and
the law has 1765 votes to spare. It
s believed complete returns ' will
greatly enlarge this majority.
The direct primary nominating law
has swept the state by more than 20,-
000 majority. Little opposition to the
measure was manifested at the polls
One of the surprises of the election
was the defeat of B. L. Eddy, of Til
lamook, for circuit judge in the Third
Judicial districts His democratic op
ponent, William Galloway, of Yamhill,
was elected by a pjurality of 100.
The democratic candidates for the
legislature have been successful in
few counties. The next Oregon legis
lature will consist of 73 republicans,
one independent republican and 16
democrats. This is a gain of two re
publicans over the legislature of 1904.
Twenty-four republicans will have
seats in the senate and six democrats.
In the house of representatives there
will be 50 republicans and 10 demo
crats.

gressional and legislative honors to
republicans by about 150 majority,
while county officers are about evenly
divided between democrats and re
publicans.
Malheur County.
Vale, June 8. Incomplete returns
in this county signify that the repub
lican state, congressional, legislative
and judicial candidates, district judge
and attorney, have received large ma
jorities. The entire county ticket has
gone democratic, with the possible ex
ception of coroner The direct pri
mary law and the state printer amend
ment will probably carry by a small
majority, while local option is prob
ably lost.
Polk County.
Dallas, June 8. Complete unofficial
returns on the county ticket of Polk
county show the entire republican
ticket elected with the exception of
sheriff, Ford, the democratic nominee,

356. Unofficial returns of the state and
district ticket, complete with the ex
ception of three precincts, show the
entire republican ticket elected with
the exception of B. L. Eddy, who is
defeated by Galloway for Circuit
judge by a majority of 93. Hermann
receives a 300 majority.
Linn County.
Albany, June 8. The result of the
election in Linn county, although not
a clean sweep for the republicans, yet
is a decisive victory. The state, con
gressional and judicial tickets, with
the exception of B. L. Eddy, were
carried by neat majorities.
Lincoln County.
Toledo, June 8. Complete returns
indicate that the republican state
and legislative nominees have receiv
ed majorities in Lincoln county rang
ing from 200 to 400. It seems quite
certain that Congressman Hermann's
margin will be near the latter figure.
Coos County.
Marshfield, June 8. With a few
small precincts to hear from. Coos
county elected all republican candi
dates, with the possible exception of
Sheriff, Gallier leading by about 50.

republican ticket is elected by plur

ficial returns at hand the election of
the entire republican ticket la as
sured. About 85 per cent of the reg

majority. The republican state and
judicial ticket will be elected by at
least 1000 majority.
Wasco County.
The Dalles, June 7. Thus far no
complete returns have- been received
from any precinct in this county. As
far as can be estimated from the
meager reports the state officers and
representative Williamson will carry
the county by large pluralities.

ville precincts Hermann had a good
margin over eVatch, and for supreme
judge, Moore was in the lead.

Bailey 241, Douglas 141.

apparent that every republican candi
date has carried the county.
Jackson County.
Ashland, June 7. The Jackson
county returns are coming in slowly.
At 1 A. M. indications are that the
republican state and congressional
tickets will have a substantial major
ity. Hermann's plurality is now esti
mated at 300.
Washington County.
Hillsboro, June 7. The count in
Washington county is coming in very
slow. Hillsboro's two precincts give
Hermann 120 to 76 for Veatch, with
the state ticket about the same. Out
of 222 votes cast in these two pre
cincts, the local option measure gets
109 "yes" to 113 "no." Indications are
that Hermann will carry the county
by at least 500, and perhaps 700.
Benton County.
Corvallis, June 7. The majority for
republican state ticket is estimated at
200. Judge Hamilton, Dem., has car
ried the county by a plurality of 50 to
75. The democrats elect the treas
urer.

state and district tickets are safely
elected. Hermann will have at least
200 plurality. Dallas from incomplete

the icpublican nominee, slightly lead
ing. Umatilla County.

will give Williamson, Rep., for repre
sentative to congress, a majority of
about 200. Moore, for chief justice, is
running ahead of his ticket, and his

dicate a very large majority for the
state ticket, with Williamson, Rep.,

rrajorities. Benson and Hanna, for
circuit judges, and Laycock, for sen
ator, are sure of election. Moore,

for district attorney. For joint rep
resentative, Steiner, Rep., and Grif
fith, Dem., will receive majorities.
Columbia County.
St. Helens, June 7. Returns indi
cate that Mayger, republican, is un
doubtedly elected representative. The

sional and district tickets are over
whelmingly republican.

county tickets, with the exception of
three. The democrats have elected
the sheriff and district attorney and
one independent republican state sen
ator is elected. Williamson's plural
ality will be 7,500. Local option will'

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
PROMISE OF A Bid CROP.
Umatilla Wheat Fields .are In a Flourish
ing Condition.
PENDLETON. Based on reports
from the various sections of the coun
try, the wheat crop, conservatively es
timated, will amount to more than
5,000,000 bushels. The condition of
growing grain at the present time is
considered most satisfactory and un
less the weather within the next three
weeks proves unfavorable, farmers
say this year's crop will reach 1,500,
000 bushels in excess of last year.
The wheat in the vicinity of Pen
dleton is quite far advanced, having
headed out several days ago. The sec
tion of the county between' Pendleton
and Athena, which is owned by the
Umatilla Indians, is an immense ex
panse of waving grain. Thousands of
acres in this locality are Tented by the
Indians to the large farmers at a
nominal figure, and comprise the rich
est farming land in the country. The
average annual yield is from 30 to 35
bushels an acre, and accordingly the
profit to the farmer is very large. In
reality, the profits realized by the
farmers by renting these lands are
greater than they would be if owned
by the farmers themselves, since a
comparatively small working capital
la required. The reservation wheat
land will, this year, produce the larg
est portion of the crop of the county,
provided the grain escapes injury
from any trick's of the weather during
the critical period.
Grain In that part of the county
northwest of the city is also reported
to be in a very healthy condition. It
has headed and reached the stage for
haying. The land in that locality is
lighter and of course the yield is
never as large as that of the reserva
tion lands, yet anything approaching
a partial failure has never been known
there.
In the Helix country wheat is look
ing good and an average crop is in
prospect. The early frosts did some
damage to grain in that locality, but
by the recent heavy rains the affected
grain will make a satisfactory yield,
Out of 1000 acres owned by Christian
Breeding less than 40 acres were dam
aged. Other stands suffered in a less
degree.
Farmers living south and south
east of the city also give most favor
able reports of growing grain and feel
assured that they will harvest an un
usually large crop this year.

that the O. R. & N. has made a low
rafe for a family reunion.
Orand Rende Fruit Oood.
LA GRANDE. The crop prospects
for Union county and most of Eastern
Oregon are very flattering so far this
season. Grand Ronde Valley has had
a heavy shower last week, just when
it was most needed. Sugar beets
never looked better than now, and
hundreds of Indians, Japs and many
whites are now in the fields thinning
them as rapidly as possible. Only a
few early strawberries and some cher
ries were damaged by the frost. A
full crop of all fruits is assured in the
Grand Ronde Valley; the strawberries
will be on the market in about four
weeks.
Bids are All Too High.
ASTORIA. County court opened
bids for construction of a reinforced
concrete foundation for the new court
house. Four bids were received as
follows: John Bingham, Portland,
$21,857.40; Bingham & Flynn, Port
land, $21,670; Marshall Bros., Port
land, $21,439.65; Ferguson & Hous
ton, $20,987. The lowest bid was
much higher than the court antici
pated and about $7000 above the ar
chitect's estimate. Final action on
bids was deferred until the architect
will be here.
' Poor Business at Cold Storage.
ASTORIA. Up to the present the
fishing season has been a greater fail
ure than last year, especially for the
cold-storage people. At this time last
year fully 500 tierces of pickled fish'
had been put up, while now not over
150 tierces have been packed. The
pack of the canners is not .much over
10.000 cans, but those Interested are
not discouraged as they expect a
large late run the same as last year.
