Balem, Or., Aug. 11. Proceeding up
on the possibility tbat Supreme Judge
R. S. Bean may be appointed Federa
Judge, to succeed the late Judge Bel
inger, Democrats are taking consider
able interest in the probable successor
to Judge Bean, if he should Bectre the
place to which he aspires. Though
there is no vacancy, and may not be
on the Supreme Bench, leading Demo
cratic lawyers are not ignoring the op
portunities that will be open to them i
Judge Bean should meet the favor of
Attorney-General Moody and President
Roosevelt.
It is not often the Democrats see an
office almost within their reach, and
when one InomB up in the distance they
are not slow in preparing to occupy it
if possible.
Should Judge Bean be promoted to
the Federal Bench, Governor Chamber
lain would have the power and duty of
naming his successor. Democrats gen
erg'ly take two things for granted tbat
if he has the opportunity Chamberlain
will appoint a Democrat, end a nan
from Fasten Oregon.
It has long been asserted, even by
manv Republicans, that there should be
a Democrat on the Supreme Bench. It
has alho been alleged by Eastern Ore
gon that o e of the Supreme Judges
should be choen from that section of
the statf, for the reason that irrigation
and range problems are peculiar to that
section, and a man residing there would
understand them most, clearly.
There has been some talk to the ef
fect that the Governor would probably
appoint Thomas Greene, of Portland, it
there shruld be a vacancy, because
Greene was once the nominee of the
Democratic party for the Supreme Judge
ship. Upon the same reasoning, it has
been suggested that B. F. Bonham, of
Salem, might find favor.
Among Fastprn Oregon Democrats,
A. S. Bennett, of The Dalles, and T. G.
Haley, of Pendleton, have been talked
of", but it is generally believed that the
unfinished task Bennett has in the land
fraud oases would make him unavail
able. Hailey stands out as a strong
possibility, ii case of a vacancy, for the
reason that he fills the requirement
being both a Democ at and an Eastern
Oregon man, and is free to accept the
appointment. He is a partner of Judge
Lowell, who aided in no small degree in
Chamberlain's election.
It h s been suggested that Chamber
lain might appoint a Republican to fill
a Republican vacancy, and tflat Judge
Eakin, of Union, might get it, but the
prevailing view here is that a Democrat
would he appointed-

Victoria, Aug. 11. Dr. V. A. P.
M'i'tin, one of the greatest living au
thorities on conditions in China, who
has just arived here, brings word that
China is perfecting her military arrange
ments, eftahlishing a first-olafs armv
and navy.
The naval scheme, as reported from
Pekin, is for a thorough remodeling of
China's fighting fleet. The board en
gaged in working out the details has al
ready arranged for funds for the estab
lishment of the navy, and decided to
form a special ministry of marine. The
organization and technical language to
be emplop d by the minister of marine
wi 1 be borrowed from Japan, and it is
intended to secure the services of a

Tientsin has be-n rhosen as the head-
quarters of the Chinese navy, and there
the naval department buildings will be
established. Subordinate stations will
be created at Shanghai, Chefu, Han
king, Cbusan Archipelago and at Tap-
engi or Mirs Bay, the poiDt near Hong
Kong whence Dewey's ships sailed for
Manila to fight the Spaniards.
The stations which exist at present at
Tientsin and Nankin will be taken over
over and fortified. At each of the six
stations naval schools will be establish
ed under Japanese and foreign in
structors.
Lasting Peace is Edward's Hope.
London, Aug. 11. Parliament was
prorogued this morning after one of the
most eventful sessions of recent years.
The king in his speech touched several
important international questions. On
the Russian-Japanese war he said:
"It is my earnest hope that the Rus
sian-Japanese peace negotiations, which
have been instituted under the initia
tive of the president of the United
States may lead to a lasting and mu
tually honorafle peace."
Touching Norway aJ Sweden his
majesty said : ' I am confident that by
he exercise of wise moderation on both
sides a satisfactory settlement of the dis
pute will be readied."
The present session of patliamc-nt has
been remarkable in showing the con
stant gains made by the Liberals. It is
the first session in mmy years where
he government has eiyUained such a
defeat on any measure as they did on
the proposition to reduce the repreen-
tation in Ireland. Although Balfour
has constantly refused to call an elec-
ion, nearly every measure except those
bearing upon the foreign policy, has
met with obstruction or defeat, while
ie conservative losses have been em
phasized at all the bye-elections of the
ear.
One important feature of the session
hb been the unearthing of army can
als in South Africa and India, lesult-
ng in a general reorganization of the
army.

Chicago. III., Aug. 14 The Chicago
Daily News' St. Petersburg correspon
dent, speaking of the change of senti
ment towards America since the negoti
ations for peace began between Russia
and Japan, says :
"America's disinterest dness and fair
ness are recognized by all. Your cor
respondent is in a position to say that
Russo-Amerioan relations have gained
greatly by the conference. Already ar
rangements are under way for many
heavy orders for American manufactures,
and large railway loans are being ar
ranged in the United States. Count
Ignatieff, who is not only one of Russia's
most famous statesmen, but who has
taken the deepest interest in the present j
state of the country, said to your cor
respondent today:
" 'Failure of the negotiations at Ports-1
mouth will hasten inferior reforms. In
discussing the Bouligan project at the
conference at Peter hof, I told the Czar:
""I am yonr faithful servant; there
fore I warn Your Majesty that the tiip
which I have just made through the
empire has convinced me that procasti
nation and juggling In regard to the
granting of a constitution threatens the
existence of the house of Romanoff."
" 'The Czar became pale at mv words.
and rose from his seat. Then he utiiet-
ly ordered that the d scus.sion be con
tinued.
" Nnhndv is sirainM th pi n of popu-
lar representation in a national assem
bly, but only a majority of the council
insists tbat it be unrestricted and demo
cratic. The dehy is actually caused by
technical difficulties. M. Bouligan is to
quit the Ministry of the Interior and de
vote himself to the organization of the
national assembly. General Trepoff
will become Minister in his stead, and
will be succeeded by General Kteygels
as Goyernor-Ge ieral of St. Peters
burg.'"
Armistice Now Exists.
Portsmouth. Aug. 14. It seems to be
taken for grunted among attaches of
both the Japanese and the Russian
missions that there will be no general
battle in Manchuria while peace nego
tiations are on. Oyama is prepared to
strike the moment negotiations fail and
there may be more or lss outpost en
gagement while troops are getting in
position, but it is admitted that if either
Oyama of Liuevitcu deliberately brings
on a general engagement which might
cost 50,000 or 100 000 lives, his country
will be accused of bud faith in the ne
go'iations and will nevtabiy lose pres
tige in the eyes of the world. In the
larger sense, therefore, it cau be said
that an armistice already exists iu Man
ohuria.
Hold Thievery.
The officei8 of Crook county have suc
ceeded in capturing one of the horse
rustlers who been sweepiug the range
of cattlemen's cow ponies, and other
stock, during the summer. The fellow
who was captured is said to be the least
inoffensive of the lit, and was on.y a
tool ot the brighter minds. The band
had been scattered by the officers, and
ail escaped, temporarily, at least, bnt
the one alluded to.
The same band of rustlers is said to
have taken one band of horses into
Pendleton and disposed uf them, re
turning for a new supply. Oil the first
expedition they confined their raido
the ranges, but during the latest oper
ations they entered pastures and drove
the stock away from the very eyes of
owners. A number of well known cat
tlemen are mentioned as having lost al
most their entire band of cow ponies,
saddle horses, etc. But in view of the
exposure made, and the vigorous pur-
