KUROPATKIN MAY RETREAT.
Outmaneuvered, He Must Abandon
. UaoYang.
London, July 27. specials to the
London morning papers confirm, the
news of active operations at . the seat
of war. The Telecraph:s Chefoo cor
respondent, under date of July" 23,
says:
"A junk from Dalny - reports - that
last night a Japanese fleet of 20 war
ships and 20 torpedo boats bombarded
Hwangshin for three hours, and the
forts replied."
The same correspondent learns that
the Japanese first army is being largely
reinforced by veterans from the re
serves. The correspondent of the Stan
dard with the Japanese army, under
date of July 24 says :
"It is difficult to understand the in
tentions of the Russians. Kuropatkin
is evidently bent on a retreat north
ward, yet he lingers in the south, at
tracted apparently by Port Arthur."
The correspondent of the Chronicle,
in a dispatch dated at Mo Tien Pass,
July 23, regards General Kuropatkin
i outmaneuvered and anxious to
abandon Liao Yang without fighting,

Arthur remains uncaptured.

ent reports that there was heavy fight
ing Satnrday and Sunday in the neigh
borhood of Ta Tche Kiao with General
Stakelberg's force, consisting of 20 bat
talions of infantry, a brigade of artil
lery and a division of Cossacks..
RAIDS TO CEASE.
Protests of Britain and Germany
Heeded by Russia.
St. Petersburg, July 27. Grand
Duke Alexis presided at yesterday's
council, which Count Lamsd'orf, the
foreign secretary, and Vice Admiral
Avellan, chief of the admiralty depart
ment, and other high naval officials at
tended.
The result of the conference removes
all doubts concerning the present atti
tude of Russia with regard to the vol-
unteei fleet. The validity of the view
expressed in the British note regarding
the irregularity of the position of the
vessels was so far admitted that the
council agreed to waive the right of
search-.
After a long discussion, in which
Count Lamsdorff took a leading part,
it was decided that the present status
of the volunteer fleet was not sufficient
ly well defined according -to interna
tional law to render further searches
and seizures advisable and that there
fore Russia, in the interests of friendly
relations with the powers should with
draw the author it j given the volunteer
fleet in this respect.
GREAT BRITAIN PACIFIED.
Settlement of Red Sea Seizures
Satisfactorily Arranged.
St. Petersburg, July 27. The Asso
ciated Press is able to state on the
highest authority that the Russian and
British governmentts have agreed on a
mutually satisfactory basis for a settle
ment of the question of the status of
Russian volunteer fleet steamers in the
Red sea and the seizures by them of
British ships. A few minor points
still r amain unsettled, but these will
probably be cleared up tomorrow, and
it is not expected that further corn pi -
cations will arise.
Great credit for the satisfactory term
ination of this incident is due Foreign
Secretary Lamsdoif, who, it is ad
m it ted, acted in the calm and concilia
tory spirit worthy of a great statesman
The attitude of Sir Charles Hardinge,
the British ambassador, both 'or .mod
eration and dignity, also evokes praise.
Sink Prize Ship.
Yokohama, July 27. The Vladivo
stok squadron yesterday sank the
steamer . Knight Commander, from
New York, off the province of Izu, af
ter transferring the crew of the Knight
Commander to the steamer Tsman,
which arrived here this morning. The
Vladivostok squadron also captured a
German vessel believed to be the Ara
bia, with 300 tons ot flour, and an un
known British steamer. The two ves
sels were sent to Vladivostok in charge
of prize crews. The American Trading
company is the agent for the Knight
Commander.
Boys Turn Bandits.
Chicago; July 27. Emulators of the
exploits of the carbarn bandits, four
youths arrested yesterday, confessed to
killing one man in a saloon and hold
ing up and robbing a ecore of others at
different times. The murder was that
of John Lane, stage carpenter of the Il
linois theater, who was shot in an at
tempt to hold up Gustav Riegel's sa
loon on the morning of July 4. ihe
proprietor also was shot. .The prison
ers are PeterJ)ulfer, James and Wil
liam Farmby and David Kelley. All
are less than 20 years old.
Japanese Government Silent.
Tokio, July 27. The passage of the
Dardanelles by the Russian volunteer
fleet steamers, the seizures of German
mail and the capture in the Red sea by
Russia of the Peninsular & Oriental
steamer Malacca have attracted great
atttention throughout Japan. The
government is watching the situation
keenly, but it has not given any form
of expression to its views or indica
tion that it will take any action in the
matter.
Let Supreme Court Arbitrate.
Panama, July 27. The Star and
Heradl, in an editorial article proposes
that the differences pending between
the Panama government and that of the
Panamaa cenal zone be submitted for
decision to the supreme court of the
United States. The idea is well re
ceived in all circles here.
JAPSSEEGAUSE
Russia Believed to Be Ready
to End the War.
LOOKING FOR A GOOD EXCUSE
Opinion Expressed in Japan That
Action'of Czar's Fleet Will In
tensify Unfriendliness.
Tokio, July 27. The acts of the
VladivostoK squadron in the Pacific
and of the volunteer fleet in the Red
sea strengthen the belief here that Rus
sia is deliberately seeking to effect
Amercia, England and Germany, in the
hope of finding an avenue for retiring
gracefully from a disastrous war.
There is no argument over the right, of
Russia to seize neutral vessels carrying
actual contraband of war, but the wis
dom of destroying neutral prizes with
out trial, unless the subject is to in
volve other powesr, is generally, ques
tioned.
It is believed that America will re
fuse to recognize Russia's extended list
of contraband and will speedily demand
a limitation to articles reasonably con
traband, in order to protect her large
Oriental commercial interests.
It is expected that Great Britain will
protest against the sinking of the
Knight Commander and demand trial
for seized British steamers, and that
Germany will make a second and more
vigorous protest.
The Vladviostok warships are hover
ing about the course of the steamers
from San Francisco, probably with the
hope of overhauling the liner Korea
Warning, however, has been given to
the Korea and eh a has a chance of elud
ing the Russians.
There will probably "be other seiz
ures, and whatever be. the determina
tion of the legal questions involved, or
whatever diplomatic action be taken,
it is confidently believed, here that the
seizures will create a feeling of intense
irritation and unfriendliness against
Russia in America, England and Ger
many.
Japan is anxious to localize the com
bat and avoid involving other powers,
but views with unfriendliness the acts
of aggression against friendly neutrals
and treaty violations disadvantageous
to herself. In the latter connection
Japan regards the affair of the passage
of the volunteer fleet through the Dar
danelles as of more importance than
the acts of the vessels subsequent to
such passage.
BITTER EIGHT ON.
Strike Has Become General in Chi
cago Stockyards.
Chicago, July 27. With all peace
negotiations broken off and with all
the allied trades unions employed at
the different plants, with the exception
of the teamsters -and stationary erjgin
eere, out on strike m sympathy with
the butcher workmen who quit work
two weeks ago, the stock yards etrike
tonight had settled down to what prom
ises to be one of the bitterest fights be
tween capital and labor in the history
of America.
As has been threatened for 'some
time, the allied trades employed in the
packing industry quit work when called
on today to assist the striking butchers
in their efforts to bring the packers to
terms. In several instances the men
did not wait for the official notification
from their leaders to go on strike, but
threw down their tools and quit work
of their own volition.
At 6 o'clock tonight the statement
was made by M. J. Donnelly, president
of the butchers' union, that every
union man employed at the Btockyards,
with the exception of the teamsters and
engineers, had responded to orders for
a general sypmathetic strike. The en-
1 1 . 1 . . . .1 " I .1 j
gineers, ne aeciarea, wouia join tne
strikers tomorrow moi ning, and, unless
there was a speedy settlement of the
difficulty, he said, the teamsters would
undoubtedly join their brother work
men in their struggle for supremacy.
According to Mr. Donnel.y, today's
strike swelled the number of men who
have quit work at the stockyards in
Chiago alone to nearly 03,000 persons
War Insurance Is Advanced.
London. July 27. Much anxiety ja
felt here relative to certain ships now
id Far Eastern waters, and it is be
lieved the Russian Vladivostok fleet
will capture several of them. As a re
suit of this, insurance war risks have
advanced 7 guineas per cent, which ' a
few days ago were butilO shillings
The Pritish steamer St.. Hubert, of
3064 tons, which is owned in Liver
pool, is overdue a week at Yokohama
and is almost certainty a Russian prize.
Fears are, also expressed for the steamer
Romford and several colliers.
Lose in Brisk Skirmish.
London, July 27. A dispatch to a
news agency from Liao Yang reports
heavy ai til lery fighting there all day
yesterday. The Russian casualties, it
is alleged, were thonght not to exceed
400, while the Japanese are said to
have lost more men. The Japanese,
who were attacking the "southern de
tachment," according to the dispatch,
were forced to retire precipitately, leav
ing their dead and wounded on the
field. -
Move Out of Niu Chwang.
Paris, July 27. -A dispatch to the
Matin from Niu Chwang says that
heavy filing continued all day long
July 24. The battle lasted for 16
hour. The Russians were driven back
on the east side and were reported to
be utterly routed on the north. The
dispatch says the Russians evacuated
Niu Chwang. of which the Japanese
will probably take possession on July
26.
(.EARNERS TO AID.
Eastern Oregon Lands May Yet
Be Irrigated..
Washington, July 26. It now ap
pears that the Malheur irrigation proj
ect in Eastern Oregon will become a
reality, and riot have to be abandoned,
as was feared. Advices were received
by Chief Engineer Newell, of the re
clamation service, today to the effect
that the farmers living along Malheur
river have aroused themselves and in
tend, to submit to tne government
their written promise to co-operate
with the government .in constructing
this irrigaion work. Mr. Newell's crit
icism of these farmers, expressed
through these dispatches a short time
ago, and his threat to remove his en
gineers from Malheur country unless
the farmers acted on his suggestion.
has had the desired effect, and the lo
cal engineers are now convinced that
before long the farmers alongthe Mal
heaur river will comply with the gov
ernment's requirements. If farmers
co-operate, they will have to pay but
53 per acre per year for 40 years, in
order to get water from the govern
ment reservoirs onto their lands, and
at the end of that time the entire works
will be turned oyer to the users of
the water. The government will mere
ly retain control of the work of con
struction until the cost has been re
paid by settlers who are benefitted.
Work along the Malheur river is in
such 'shape that as soon as the farm
ers owning lands within the proposed
irrigation area pledge themselves to
pay the required amount, the govern
ment will be ready to make final sur
veys and plans preparatory to letting
contracts. In the eyes of the engin
eers this project is no longer ques
tionable, but one that promises com
plete success.
It remains with the farmers to say
when work shall commence. It is ex
plained in this connection that the
government will not accept a partial
promise of co-operation, or promises
from only a part of the farmers within
the irrigation district. Every man
who will be benefitted by this work
must pledge himself to contribute his
share of the cost before the govern
ment will adopt the project.
The government today advertised
for bids for 14,000 barrels of Portland
cement to be used on the Minodoka
irrigation project in Southern Idaho.
Bids will be received by Engineer D.
W. Ross, at Boise, until August 25.
LARGE SHIPS TAKING NO RISKS.
Japanese Holding Them Back for
the Pinal Blow at Port Arthur.
On Board the Mikasa. Admiral
Togo's flagship, off Port Arthur, July
20, via Fusan, Corea, July 26. In re
ply to addresses made to him by the
newspaper correspondents who are on
board the steamer Manchuria, Admir
al Togo said, modestly, that he felt
complimented to learn that the world
was interested in his victories, and it
was his desiret through the press, to
send his thanks to those persons who
admire him.
The Japanese naval policy is to hold
their larger warships in reserve until
the time comes to deliver a crushing
blow at Port Arthur. In the mean
time," torpedoboats ai-e to make con
stant and harassing attacks. Every
night the Japanese lay mines at the
harbor entrance. The entrance to the
port is now clear.
The steamer Manchuria is making a
tour of the theatre of war with mem
bers of the Japanese Diet, foreign at
taches and newspaper correspondents
on board.
OFFICERS ARE DEFIED.
Bonesteel, South Dakota, Has Reign
of Terror With Land Rush.
Bonesteel, S. D., July 25. Excite
ment is running high in Bonesteel to
night, brought about by the rescue of
an arrested gambler, who was taken
from the hands of the police by a dozen
or 15 of his friends and rushed down
the main street of the town and se
creted. The gambler was arrested and
was be. ng escorted to the police station

ing grasp of the officer, who drew his
revolver and struck one of the attack
ing party a blow in the face, cutting
him quite Beverly, and then fired two
shots into the air, hoping to bring the
rescuing party to a halt, the attacking
party surrounded the prisoner and sue
ceeded in getting him away-
The city authorities -immediately be
gan swearing in extra policemen and
have expressed the determination to
enforce the law at any cost.
Probable Action of Russia.
St. Petersburg, July 26. While not
admitting the illegality of the action
of the Russians in converting vessels
of the volunteer fleet into warships af
ter they had reached the Red sea, it is
probable, in view of the fact that neu
tral ships did not receive previous
notice, that Russia, in order to remove
the shadow of a cloud upon their
right to fly the war flag, will formally
notify the powers of their conversion
into warships, thus putting all neu
trals upon their guards. In the mean
time, all the ships seized will be re
leased. -
To Call Troops In.
Denver, July 26. The Republican to
day says: Before the end of the pres
ent week there will be no military
rule in the state of Colorado. The
troops in Teller, San Miguel and Las
Animas counties will be withdrawn,
and the administration of affairs In
these counties left to the civil author
ities. The withdrawal of the troops
will also bring about the dissolution
of the military commission now in
existence hvthe Cripple Creek district-
Steamers Eqnipped as Cruisers.

fully armed and equipped as cruisers.
OREGON NEWS OP INTEREST
SHEEP SWARMING IN.
Thousands are Being Moved Onto
Cascade Forest- Reserve. -
Salem The news has reached this
city to the effect that the country in
the neighborhood of Breitenbueh, in
the western part of the Cascade forest
reserve, ia threatened with devastation
of vegetation by reason of the encroach
ment of the Eastern Oregon sheepmen,
with their enormous flocks of sheep.
Already hundreds of sheep are - to be
seen in the vicinity of Detroit, . and, it
is said, there will be no lees than 12,-
000 head in that part of the reserve be
fore the grazing season closes.
There is a quetsion of whether the
grazing permits contemplate the en
croachment upon this territory, and
the settleis in that section are vigor
ously protesting against it. .
Hon. John Minto has returned from
a visit to Minto pass through the Cas
cades, and reports '".he encroachments
of Eastern Oregon sheepmen on the
western part of the forest reserve
are alarming the people of that part
of the country. Minto said that be
tween Warms Springs and Detroit, a
distance of 16 miles, he passed through
six miles of sheep, 1,700 in number.
Minto considers it an outrage, as he
does not think the sheepmen have the
rights so far west as they are coming,
but they claim they have a stretch two
townships wide there, and will bring
12,000 sheep into the district.
Summer outers and others there are
worried, thinking the sheep will de
stroy all pleasure, and also the oppor
tunity for keeping domestic animals

HOP CROP WILL BE GOOD.'
Linn County Growers See No Lice,.
- but .Spray Nevertheless.
Eugene The spraying of hops in
this county is now in progress, and in
some yards is completed, and nothing: .
now remains but for the hops to form
and ripen. There are no evidences of
lice of any consequence, but the grow
ers will spray just the same as if there-
were millions, for they know full well .
how little time it takes for them to -
make their appeaarnce and ruin a crop,
just as it is about ready to be harvested. -
Reports regarding tbe probable yield
indicate that the crop will not be quite-.
so heavy, as last year in most of the
yards, the dry weather having a ten-"
dency to cut short the yield, even!
though in most cases the vines have
lemaihed perfectly green -and iresh.
The growth seems not to have been so
strong aa usual. The total output of
the county, however, now promises to
be greater than a year ago, or on any
former year, the acreage being greater
than ever before. If everything goe
well from now until picking time, even,
though there should be no moie rain,
it is safe to say this' county will turn
out more than an average crop of hops.
Crops About Junction City.
Junction City Haying is nearly fin
ished in this locality. The price of
this product has been higher this sea
son than usual, farmers realizing from,
$8 to $12 per ton, not baled. Har vett
ing is progressing rapidly, and thresh
ing will begin in two weeks. Grain
will make a better crop than was ex
pected, as the heads are well filled and.
the grains plump. While the stand is
not so thick as usual, the yield will
fall but little below thn average.
Prunes -are almost a failure in Northern
Lane and Southern Benton counties.
Some prune orchards, in fact, have?
been grubbed up there.
Work on Fishladder Resumed.

Eugene Scott Standish came down;
from Blue river and has gone to San,
Fiancisco to buy a new mill for the
