THE ISSUE IS MANCHURIA There are Two Main Quest ions Still at Issue War May Yet be Averted. St. Petersburg, Jan. 18. The Asso ciated Press correspondent, on high authority, is able to ?ive the following as the present status of negotiations be tween Russia and Japan : Russia recognizes Japan's predomi nance in Corea and Japan recognizes Russia's special position in Manchuria. There are two main questions atill at issue, the Russian demand for a neutral zone upon the Corean side of the Yalu river, which Japan met with a proposal for a similar neutral strip on the Man churian Bide. Japan also 'asks for certain guarantees covering Manchura, which Russia thus far has declined to grant. It is pointed out, however, that the assurances given a few days ago by Russia regarding open ports in Man churia and respect for treaty rights is a concession on this point. That the two countries are not po far apart may be fairly inferred from the following sta'ement made by Mr. Ku rino, the Jupanese Minister, to the Associatee Preps c .-re Mondent : " War now would only be disastrous to both count-! s. Owing to the geo graphical Bituj'ion, an armed conflict wou'd rt-sult in a great drain on the men and treasury of both Japan and Russia, without being decisive. Be sides, I believe it would not be worth while to go to war on the questions sti 1 in dispute." There is a strong indication that through the Czar's personal acts the peace party is completely in the as cendant. Mr. Bezobrazoff, the head of the war party, has gone abroad ; For- e'gn Minister Lamsdorff, who from the beginning has favorel peace, is now completely rehabilitated, aud Viceroy Alex eff has been made subservient to ihe Foreign Office in the Russo-Japan ese negotiations. His extensive powers are curtailed, and he can make no move without the Czar's personal approval. In fact, the fresh assurances conveyed through Ambassador Cassini to the authorities at Washington of the recog nition of the rights acquired by the Chinese treaty is largely attributed to Count Lanisdorff's influence. Diplomatic circles regard Count Lamsdoiff's conduct of thejoegotiations under the Czar's direction'jas a very liopeful sign. Another strong influence un the side of peace has Jbeen the atti tude of M. Witte, president of the Council of State, who has bren bending is energies to avoid a conflict. At the recent meetings of the Council of State M. Witte, with his old-time eloq uenre, pleaded the cause of peace, pointing out the disastrous consequences of war to Russia, and declaring Russia had everything to lose and nothing to gain It is predicted that it peace prevails, M Witte again will become a great power in the government. Old lot 71 nt Uo. Walla Walla. Wash.. Jan. P... Sena- tor C. W. Fulton, of Oregon, commu- i nicated to the Walla Walla Commercial Club today the news from Washington i that the abandonment of Fort Walla RUSIfl HOLDING Wal'a, had been definitely decide I on by the Secretary of War as soon as Boise barracks were sufficiently en larged to accommodate regimental head quarters and four troop of cavalry. Corroboration was received at the same time from Congressman Cnshman. The news is received with bitter cha grin here, as the city, assisted by Sena ator Levi Ankeny and the remainder of the Washington and Oregon delegations, had fought hard for the post's retention. Fort Walla Walla was established in the Indian war timea of the 50'a. As Roosevelt Desires. Washington, January 19. Senator Plattt in an interview today, says that if instructions are necessary for the New York delegates they will be made. Asked If it were true that there was considerable sentiment in New York for Hanna, he replied : "I wil' answer that by saying tha Senator Hanna in not a candidate for the Presidency.

COTT & IIOWNF I Cbomiit 409 Pearl St N Y I 50c. anJ all dru MS THOMPSON CKGEK IT1IIES. Valuable Coal Deposits Owned by Heppner People. Hon. G. W. Phelps and P. O. Borg were called to Portland this week to attend a meeting of the stockholders of the Thompson Creek Coal Company. The Gazette is pleased to say that the stockholders are now greatly en couraged over the prospects of the property. From shafts and tunnels and diamond drill records it has now , been proven bevond a reasonable doubt that the lands owned by the Thompson Creek Company are underlaid with valuable measures of coal. Assays from coal brought up from a depth of 400 feet show coal fully equal to the Rock Springs product. The fact that the field is only a Bhort distance from a railroad and the many natural advantages make the deposits very valuable. AV. O. W. Installation. Heppner Camp No. 60, W. O. W., and Maple Circle, No. 259, publicly in stalled their officers Friday evening last at I. O. O. F. hall. There was a iarge attendance of the members and there were several in vited guests outside of the orders, the laree hall being well filled. The affair was certainly a very p'eas ant event, nnd the caieail pieparntion of eve v detail and the carrying out of the beautiful ritualistic ceremonifs, shows an intcieHt that i admirable in fraternal circles. A very entertaining and pleasant fea ture was the inarching in whioh em b ems of Wooden-ft were pictured with an ease that showed practice and train ing by the members of both orders. After the marching was over, Mrs. Eftie Gilliam, Past Guardian Neighbor, installed the officers of the Circle, followed by the installation of the officers of the Camp by E. L. Freeland, Past Consul Commander. After the officers were escorted to their respective stations, a recess was declared and it was announced that it would be in order to play games until supper was ready. While the grand orders of Woodcraft have able provisions to care for loved ones after members have passed away, the ladies of Woodcraft certainly know how to look after the living. What could be more pleasing to hungry people than an elegant repast. The banquet hall was thrown open, where the long tables were waiting. After supper the evening was spent in playing games and social conversa tion. Following officers were installed : Maple Circle: Past Guardian Neigh bor, Mrs. V. Crawford; Guardian Neighbor, Mrs. Rosa Richardson; Ad viser, Mrs. 11. Neville ; Magician, Mrs. A. K. Higgs; Clerk, Mrs. May Kenton; Banker, Mrs. Edoa Slocum ; Attendant, Mrs. Nell Slocum ; Inner Sentinel, Bes sie Sutton; Outer Sentinel, Lewis Sum- ruerfield ; Manager, Frank Kenton.
