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.

nicated to the Walla Walla Commercial
Club today the news from Washington
i
that the abandonment of Fort Walla
RUSIfl

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. I have ju-t had a long
talk with hi . He wiil not all "W th

he is for the nomination of President

need Scott's Emulsion.
It makes new flesh and
gives new life to the weak
system.
Scott's Emulsion gets
thin and weak persons out

nerves and gives appetite

Scott's Emulsion can be
taken as long as sickness

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.
