- Portland, June . 22 Canada may
conclude to tak an active part in the
Lewis and Clark exposition. While
that government
seemed disinclined
change has ' been
eleventh hour. A
has in the past
to participate, . a
wrought , in the
bill making an ap
propriation of $50,000 is to be intro
duced at once in the Canadian parlia
ment. r
Telergaphic communication to this
effect was received at lewis and Clark
headqu rters yesterday morning. The
telegram was received from Colonel H.
E. Do8ch, commissioner general, who
recently went io Ottawa to interest the
Canadian officials in the fair. It wan
addressed to Director General Goode,
but, as Mr. Goode has been out otthe
city for a week past, the message was
received by Secretary Henry Reed.
The message is as follows:
"After many consultations and inter
views, outlook for Canada's participa
tion is favorable. Ministers will ask
parliament for $50,000."
This news was a pleasant surprise to
fair officials, who had all but given up
hope of getting the Canadian govern
ment interested. All communications
8nnt to Ottawa and to Canadian officials
had been courteously replied to, but
the tone of the replies was not encour
aging there seemed to be a disposi
tion on the part of the Canadian people
to concentrate their efforts on making a
fine exhibit at the fair in Belgium,
which takes place next year, almost
simultaneously with the Lewis and
Clark exposition.
In the event parliament makes the
appropriation asked for, it is thought
the province of British Columbia can
be brought into line. It is known that
British Columbia has been holding back
to see what reception the exposition
will get from the general government
before taking any action. Favorable
action from the general government
will, therefore, it is believed, insure
the participation of British Columbia
as a province.
f AID STILL ON.
Russian Vladivostok Squadron Is Again
Sighted Off Japan
Tokio, June 22. The Russian Sibe
rian squadron from Vladivostok was
sighted again at noon yesterday off
Main island in the sea of Japan, but
was apparently following out a prear
ranged plan, as the vessels steamed at
about 11 knots' speed slowly toward
the northwest, paying no attention to
the shores.
Judging by their position in the water,
they are heavily laden and it is sup
posed that before leaving Vladivostok
on this last trip they filled all of their
reserve bunkers with coal, so that they
can keep out of port for not less than
three weeks.
In spite "f the menace to their trans
port fleet the Japanese officials here de
elare that their oriignal plans will be
carried out, no matter what tbe cost
They declare that there is no chance for
the Port Arthur squadron to make
sortie to join Admiral Skrydlon, as
Admiral Tog has so disposed of his
ships about the harbor mouth that any
vessels putting out will be sunk before
they are even clear, of thesidstead.
WORRYINQ THH JAPANESE.
SkrydlofTs Squadron's Work Apprect
ative at St Petersburg.
St. Petersburg, June 22.- Vice Ad'
crural SkrydlofTs meswage to the em'
peror from Valdivostok, in which he
detais the operations of tbe squadron,
indicates that he has accounted for at
least three of the Japanese transports
besides a suspected collier. The mes
sage does not indicate trie present
whereabouts cf the squadron. The fact
that the collier was cent to Vladivost
under a prize crew might indicate that
the news of the operations of the squad
ron was brought there by her and that
the cruisers are still at sea.
The destruction of an aggregate of
IS. 000 tons of shipping besides troops
and crews and a valuable cargo of sup
plies is considered here as being a good
showing for the raid made by the cruia
ers. it is thought that it will nave a
moral effect and will besides necessarily
divert a considerable section of Vice
Admiral Togo's fleet.
Strategy Is Criticised.
Liao Yang, June 22. For the first
time since the beginning of the war,
General Kuropatkin has taken personal
direction of the operations, and in con
sequence of his having assumed the
offensive results different from those
following recent events are anticipated.
The tactics of the Japanese are admired
here, but their strategy is criticised, es
pecially with regard to the battle of
Vafandien. During the battle the in
fantry extended over the field further
than the eye could reach, one division
covering six miles.
Cossacks Return Prom Raid.
Mukden, June 22. A raiding party
of Cossacks, just returned from two
months in Corea, bring veibal news re
garding the Japanese position, accord
ing to which the Japanese forces on the
Yalu river have become decidedly weak,
owing to tne confidence of the Japanese
commanders, based on the results of
the first fight. The Cossacks say that
the inhabitants are well disposed to
ward the Russians. Many Coreans
constitute the rear guard.
- r Liner Australia "Wrecked. "
Melbourne. June 22. -The Peninsula
& Oriental liner 'Australia, ' inward
bound, struck on the rocks at Point
Nepean today j and it is feared she will
be a total loss." The passengers and
crew were landed safely. She was "of
3,700 tons net.
SHOT BY RUSSIANS
NEW YORK NEWSPAPER MAN
TAKEN FOR A SPY.
MIS
Colonel Edward Emerson, Jr., Cabled
Last Month That He Would Leave
Japanese Army, as He Could Get
Into Lines of the Enemy Report
Gives No Details.
New York, June 22. A cable dis
patch to the World today, which is not
signed, and which the World says was
probably forwarded by the American
legation at Pekin, announces the shoot
ing of Colonel Edward Emerson, Jr.
one of the World's correspondents
in
the Far East, and conveyed the impres
sion that he had been killed. The
cable stated that it was reported that
Emerson had been shot by Russians,
who mistook him for a spy.
A letter was received from Emerson
by the World shortly before the receipt
of this cable, dated May 14, containing
these expressions :
"Mukden is muzzled; no news
can
get out from there. I find I can get
into the Russian lines."
Emerson left the Japanese army some
time ago, and pushed on to Mukden.
SAYS RUSSIA LOST 7,000 MEN.
Wounded Officer Says No Troops Could
Have Withstood Japanese.
Nm Chwang, June 22. A Russian
officer who was wounded in the battle
at Vafangow (Telissu) told an Associ
ated Press correspondent that the losses
on both sides were severe. He places
the Russian casualties at least at 7,000
He says no soldiers in the world could
withstand the Japanese as they have
been fighting lately. Their artillery
fire, he asserts, is marvelously effective
The Russians fought stubbornly, des
perately, but were unable to'withstand
the enemy's dashing persistency.
Several hundred wounded Russians
have been sent north, owing to a lack
of hospitals and surgeons. All the
available transpoitation has to be used
for supplies at the expense of the sick
and wounded. The Japanese buried
most of the Russian dead after the bat
tle.
It is estimated on the information
obtainable that the force movingnortb
ward is 70,000 strong, with 90,000 men
in the aggregate engaged in the opera
tions at Port Arthur. Several Japan
ese spies have recently been captured a
few miles south of Nm Chwang.
The Russians are becoming more vig
ilant and are watching newspaper mes
sages closely.
JAPANESE LOSSBS ONLY 1,000.
Tokio Believes Vafangow Battle Cost
the Bnemy 10,000 Men.
Tokio, June 22. Further reports re
ceived here show that the blow in
flicted by General Oku on the Russians
in the fighting at Telissu (Vafangow)
on June 15, was more severe than at
first was ' believed. The number of
Russians killed in this battle probably
will exceed 2,000, and theii total losses,
including prisoners, is estimated at
10,000. The Japanese losses are less
than 1,000, or about one-tenth of the
Russian total.
Up to June 17, General Oku had
buried 1,516 dead and he reports that
many more dead have been found.
Chinese who witnessed the fighting
from the Russian side report that the
Russians removed many dead men from
the trains with their wounded, and
that they buried . or cremated many
corpses in the village of Huasungkou
before they retreated.
The number of prisoners and trophies
taken by the Japanese is increasing.
General Oku is not yet able to report
the total number of prisoners.
Four-Story Brick Collapses.
Kansas City, June 22. One person
was killed, another probably is dead,
buried under tons of debris, and seven
others were injured, one fatally, here
today by the collapse of the four-story
brick building at Third and Delaware
streets, occupied by the Block preserv
ing company. The collapse was caused
by the explosion of ammonia on the
fourth floor. One side of the structure,
extending its whole height, fell in.
There were 50 girls on the upper stories
at the time, and a panic prevailed
among them.
Morton Can Succeed Moody.
Washington, June 22. The Post
says: President Roosevelt has mvitd
Paul Morton to become a member of his
official family as secretary of the navy.
Mr. Morten has the matter under con
sideration and has not yet given any
intimation of acceptance or declination.
Mr. Morton is the son of the late J.
Sterling Morton, who was secretary of
agriculture in the second cabinet of
President Cleveland, He is 47 years
old.
Large Fire at Utah Mine.
Park City, Utah, June, 22. The big
No. 2 hoist of the Ontario mine, locat
ed near this city, was totally destroyed
today, throwing 200 men out of employ
ment and causing a nominal loss of
$400,000. The actual loss, however,
will not greatly exceed $600,000,' the
OS8 otherwise being an immense Corn
ish pump, which has not been used
Bince the completion of the Ontario
tunnel, which drains that district, sev
eral years ago.
FEAR TO PAY BANDIT.
Ministers Object Giving Him Qold Until
Captives are Free.
Washington, June 21. A cablegram
received at the state department from
Consul General Gummere at Tangier,
in confirming the press report that the
sultan has, agreed to all of Raisuli's
terms, adds the bandit requested that
the money ransom, $55,000, be paid
over today. Mr. Gummere expressed
grave doubts as to the advisability of
making this payment before Perdicaris
and Varley were actually - released,
and safely returned to Tangier.
Injiis cablegram the consul general
states that Raisuli's negotiator " re
turned to Tangier last night and re
ported that the terms had been ac
cepted and the money as well as the
prisoners released by the sultan today
must be immediately turned over to
Raisuli at Taradant, where he is now
located, and the "captives will be re
leased.
Mr. Gummere and the British minis
ter both objected to this plan, on the
ground that they placed everything . in
Raisuli's hands and they had no assur
ance that he would carry out his agree
ment after he got bold of the money
Therefore they sent a special courier to
Raisuli, suggesting that the exchange
be effected through the shentr of Wazen,
who nad a powerful influence over
Raisuli. The answer is expected to
morrow.
Based on past experience, it is feared
Raisuli is not to be depended upon,
and once he has the money in hand
and still controls the prisoners, he will
make fresh demands. However, noth
ing more can be done at this stage, ac
cording to Mr. Gummere, and the state
department will await the conclusion
o( this last attempt to free the prison
ers.
CURRENCY FOR PANAMA.
Commission Makes' the Dollar of
United States the Standard.
the
Washington, June 21. Ihe com
mission charged with the preparation
of a currency system for Panama today
reached an agreement, which estab
lishes a coin equivalent in fineness and
weight to the dollar of the United
States as the standard, and which also
mal 63 the United States dollar legal
ton it r in Panama.
Under the terms of the agreement,
tna fanama government will recom or
convert the Colombian silver into coins
of the size of a silver dollar. The
amount of this silver in Panama is now
estimated at $1,500,009.
At the request ef Secretary Taft, it
was agreed to coin more silver until a
total of $6,000,000 is reached. In or
der to retain a parity with gold, there
will be deposited in some reputable
bank in New York 15 per cent of the
amount coined, and, in addition, there
will be deposited all the seignorage
which Panama Till make in the coin'
age to meet the, American government's
lequirements. The agreement provides
for a joint arrangement between the
government of Panama and the canal
commission, under which, by selling
drafts and drawing on tbe funds ex
change can be kept down to a reason
able figure, not above 2 per cent and
thus avoid large fluctuations of the
rate.
UNABLE TO BLOCK HARBOR.
Japanese Make Another Desperate At
tempt at Port Arthur.
Liao Yang, June 21. According to
trustworthy news from Port Arthur,
the Japanese, before June 14, made a
fourth unsuccessful attempt to block
the entrance to the harbor, using four
fire ships, two of which were immedi
ately sunk by shots from the batteries,
the other two withdrawing. The Rus
sian fleet, according to these advices, is
intact, and the spirits of' the garrison
and inhabitants are excellent.
The soldiers are eager to fight and
are confident of the impossibility of
the taking of Port Arthur by the Jap
anese. .Most ot the inhabitants have
enlisted in the volunteers and 600
women have offered their services.
Perfect order is maintained and trade
and industry are carried on as usual.
Provisions are plentiful, there being
sufficient supply to last six months
on full rations and a year at reduced
rations. The Japanese outposts are 18
miles from Port Arthur.
Forces Now More Fven.
Liao Yang, June 21. The retirement
of the Russians before a superior force
from Vafangow and the advance of the
Japanese east and north makes immi
nent a still more important engagement
in the southern region. The Japanese
nave now arrived at a point where the
forces are more equal, and where they
must fight on more even terms. The
loss of 2,000 men by the Russian divis
ion a at vatangow snows the courage
and ability of the officers and troops to
retain their position under a percent
age of loss almost unprecedented.
Intended to Pocket Stakelberg.
St. Petersburg, June 21. The war
office has received important news re
garding General Kuroki and the reason
why he is at Suyen with three divsons
of about 30,000 men and with the re
serves. It is believed Kuroki really
contemplated combined operations to
cut off and pocket Stakelberg, but that
he delayed tod long. It is understood
that Kuropatkin sent a strong Russian
force south of Liao Yang to meet Kuro
ki's move.
Japanese Loan la Qreat Demand.
London, June 21. A dispatch to the
Central News from Tokio announces
that the total subscriptions to the sec
ond issue of exchequer bonds ($59,-
000,000) amounted to $160,246,762.

BOY FINDS QOLD.
As a -Result a Southern Oregon Family
Cleans Up $25,000 In a Week.
Grant's Pass A milkpan half full of
gold 200 ounces valued at more than
$4,000, was the sight that greeted
scores of visitors at the Grant a I aea
Banking & Tust company's bank one
day last week. This represents about
one-fifth of the amount taken from a
ledge since its discovery. The discov
ery was made by the 18-year old son of
David Biggs. While out hunting he
stumbled onto a ledge of decomposed
quartz which was more gold than quartz.
He secured a chunk the size of a candle
box and took it to his father's placer
claim, where it was mortared and
yielded nearly $800.
Early next morning the family
staked out seven claims and began min
ing. In two hours they had $2,000,
and in one week they had mortared out
$25,000, and Mr. Briggs reports the
ledge getting better all the time. The
whole amount was taken from an exca
vation ten feet long by seven feet deep.
The find is the talk of the country,
and already the surroundiing hills are
being searched by prospectors and gold
excitement is at fever heat. The ledge
is located in the southeastern part ot
Josephine county, about 50 miles from
Grants Pass.
Dredge Clears a Passage.
Astoria The bar dredge Chinook
has not missed a day at work on the
Columbia entrance excepting the time
consumed in coaling, since her return
from Portland, and has accomplished
very much in that time. The record
performance for one day is 5,000 cubie
yards or more than 9,000 tons. Thi
is the greatest day's work ever done by
a vessel of her class, and the perform
ance has been highly gratifying to the
officers. The big vessel has materially
deepened the river entrance, and pilots
say that the depth has inci eased two
feet in some places.
' Pheasant Bill Not a Law.
Salem In answer to an inquiry from.
Game Warden J. W. Baker, Attorney
General Crawford has rendered an
opinion in which be holds that the
pheasant bill of 1903 did not become a
law. This has been the generally ac
cepted opinion. Although the bill waa
signed by the presiding officer of each
house, approved by the governor and
filed in the office of. the secretary of
state, the records show that it leceived
only 30 votess in the house, or one less:
than a majority, and therefore it did
not pass the house.
Leglslators Pick Out Seats.
Salem Members of the Oregon
leg-
lslature have already commenced
86-
lecting their seats for the session of
1905, and about two-thirds of the seate
have been assigned in each house. Sec
retary of State Dunbar has a plat of
the floor of each house, and has assign
ed members to seats upon receiving-
requests from them. He will have-
jiame cards printed m .large Jetteist
and placed on the front of the desks of'
the different members.
