DARE NOT MCE PUBLIC VIEWS.
Publication of Roosevelt's Proposition
Would Force Envoys to Agree.
Portsmouth, N. II., Aug. 2S. In an
authoritative quarter it is learned to
night that the latest suggestions offered
to the emperors of the two warring
powcis as to an amicable adjustment of
their differences also were communi
cated simultaneously to the envoys of
Russia and Japan. This action on the
part of the president was taken in order
that no jwsible ground for offense
could be taken by the plenipotenti
aries because of his direct appeal to the
emperors.
While the terms suggested by the
president are not disclosed, it is known
that they were framed on broad hu
manitarian lines. It is permissible to
sav, in the wows oi cue aumoriiy re
ferred to:
"If the civilized world could know
at this time the precise nature of tha
propositions made to Russia and Japan
by President Roosevelt, it would seem
that the force of the public opinion of
the world would induce the plenipo
tentiaries and their governments to
pause and consider seriously the result
before breaking off finally the present
conference without an agreement. In
deed, they might scarcely dare face the
world's opinion by refusing to accept,
in principle at least, the suggestions
offered by the president."

September Has Always Had a Bad
Record for Yellow Fever.
New Orleans, Aug. 28. Except in
1S53, September has been the month
yielding the largest number of fatali
ties during visitations of yellow fever
and the Federal authorities are there
fore taking steps to maintain their
present control of the situation. Sep
tember frequently brings increased pre
cipitation, causing stagnant pools of
water, the overflow of cisterns and de
struction of the effects of oiling.
An incrase in deaths over the past
few days was recorded in the report of
the past 24 hours, but was regarded as
without significance, most of the vic
tims being among the foreign classes,
and two of the deaths having occurred
yesterday too late to be included in the

are reported to have expressed indig
nation over the report.
Chicago, Aug. 2t. The Daily News'
correspondent at St. Petersburg says:
That the war is to continue is indi-
cated by the feverish activity shown
everywhere in preparing for the su
preme struggle. Four hundred soldiers
of every guard regiment left yesterday
for the front; half a million troops
that participated in the summer man
euvers are a-ailable for duty in Man
churia, and a large proportion of them
are to be dispatched there as rapidly as
possible. They will be replaced in the
Russian garrisons by the regular fall
conscriptions.
Twelve thousand cars and 300 loco

transportation facilities of Russia.

Pri nee Wolkont ky said to your corre
spondent today: - - -
"Peace is impossible. President
Rosoevelt's last attempt to bring Rus
sia and Japan to an agreement has fail
ed, because the czar has solemnly prom
ised his people to pay not a single ko
pek of tribute and to surrender not an
inch of territory. Never since it be
came an empire has Russia paid tribute
or ceded territory. The first ruler of
the nation who does either of these
things signs his own death warrant.
Such payment, however disgusied,
would provoke a revolution."
Czar Says He Hs Yieldod All
Will Yield.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 25. With re
gari to a dispatch that tins iccn re
eeivoa Here saying Mr. v Itte was
awaiting instructions, the lorelgn
office says it is daily in constant coin
municHtion with Mi. Witte, and that
he will bo fully able to go ahead on
Saturday. The latest developments
clearly indicate that the Associated
Press dispatches sent declining that
Russia will never consent to the pay
meut of an indemnity in any form rep
resents Russia a last word with refer
ence to the principle of monetary com
pensaiion ami the expenses o( the war
The authoritative statement made to
the Associated Press at Portsmouth
which is in the same tenor, was me
last evening by a declaration Irom the
official spokesman of the Foreign olllce
which was made almost with the force
of a formal communication, that under
no circumstances and under no disguis
ee would the principle of indemnity be
admitted, and this decision is accepted
by the Russian public as final. It was
declared at the Foreign office also that
Russia's sincere desire for peace was
manifested in the spirit of concession
shown by the Russian mission on the
other disputed points, and that, if
Japan was willing to waive this de
mand, which was consistent witl
neither the honor nor the dignity of
Russia, there would be no trouble in
arranging peace, Japan's insistence on
indemnity being the only barrier to the
termination of the war.

Famine Reduces 200,000 Spaniards
to Desperation Through Hunger.
Seville, Spain, Aug. 28. Heartrend
ing reports continue to reach the pro
vincial authorities from the outlying
famine stricken districts. The latest
reports received are from Osuna and
Almongia, the respective mayors of
which notify the authorities that their
resources are exhausted and that they
are unable to further assist the fam
ished laborers and the women and
children, as the distress is too acute.
At Ecija the population has looted the

calculation shows that 200,000 are out
of employment.
An Insult to His Children Caused
Chinese Boycott.
Seattle Wash., Aug. 26. Dr. F. F.
Tong. of Shanghai, trade commissioner
of China to this country, who is on his
way to Washington to confer 'with the
Chinese minister regarding the new
treaty with the United States, today
made the following statement regarding
the cause of the Chinese boycott:
"I think the boycott really started
from the treatment afforded the chil
dren of Cheu Fook, the viceroy who
rules over the three provinces of Kian
su, Che-Kieng and An-Kwei. Shang
hai is one of his cities, and it was there
the boycott began. His children were
returning by way of America from Eng
land, where thev had been in school.
They lacked passports such as the priv
ileged class carries from China, but
there was an abundance of proof that
they were the viceroy's children and as
such entitled to courtiesies. The re
port reached China that they were held
up at New York and refused admit
tance, finally being compelled to give
bonds that they would leave the coun
try. "When this news came to China,
there was indignation among the peo
ple and they took up the theory that
merchants and students were ill treat
ed. I believe that single incident did
more than anything else to start the
fight against American goods, and to
raise the cry for a new treaty."
One and One-Tenth Fare for Round
Trip to Exposition.
Portland, Aug. 25. An unusually
and exceptionally low passenger rate in
the Pacific Northwest will become ef
ftctive on September 1, when round
trip tickets will be sold from all points
in Oregon, Washington, Idaho ami
British Columbia to the exposition for
one and one-tenth of the usual fare.
This reduction is the direct outcome of
the efforts of the exposition to main
tain the general local interest in the
fair and to the endeavors of the various
railroads to do all possible to aid in the
success of the West's gieat show.
Under the announcement issued by
the Ifarriman lines, which include the
O. R. AN.a-ul the Southern Pacific,
and the Northern Pacific, beginning on
Septemlter 1, round-trip tickets will be
sold from all oints in Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho and British Columbia to
Portland for one and one-tenth the
usual fare, these tickets having a tune
limit of 30 days and to be sold daily
fnmi September 1 to Ocotlier 15.
This action of the railroads will have
the effect of aiding very materially in
the success of the fair and will result
n largely increased attendance.
Throughout the territory embraced by
this rate there are many people who
while desiring to visit the exposition
could not well afford the expense of
trip as it stands at present.
NEW SYSTEM BEST.
State Saves Much In Transporting
Insane Patients.
Salem After almost three months'
operation under the new law governing
the trauspiotation of insane, it is found
that the new system costs practically
one-half as much as the old. Under
the former system the sheriff or a dep
uty brought insane persons to the asyl
inn. receiving a per diem of .') and all
traveling expenses. Under the new
system the insane asylum authorities
send an attendant from the asylum to
the county seat to bring the patient to
Salem.
In some instances the cost of trans
iHirtation has been reduced to one-third
of what it was formerly, while in other
cases the reduction is less than one
half. Thus it cost under the former
laws $18.73 to bring a patient from
Poitland, but now it cost a only $(l.7H.
From Clatsop county, which furnishes
a large numhei oi patients, the loruicr
cost was alMiut 1 15, but now it is only
$15. Marion county, which also sup
plies a large number of insitne, formei
ly cost the state $l.l! for transporting
patients, but this has been reduced to
$1. In the case of patients (torn dint
ant counties, like Baker, I oos, Tilla
mook and others, where the railroad or
stage expenses are heavy, the saving is
not so great.
The tlgutus given are not exact, for
no cxtct account can be kept of the
time of attendants who are sent out
after patients. The attendants who
are employed in that work render
some service at the institution, and
spend some time bringing back pa
tients who have escaped. I he saving,
however, when all allowances are made,
will be froinj40 to 50 per cent.

Winter Wheat Good.
Ij Grande Harvesting in the Grand
Ronde valley is now well under way,
and so far the yield of fall and winter
sown wheat is good, tnt average ncing
40 bushels per acre of an excellent
juality, many fields yielding 50 bush
els. Spring sown grain is very light
and will not yield more than half a
rop. The hay crop is very god, and
the same condition prevails in Wallowa
'oiinty as to hay and grain as in this
valley. The sugar !ect crop is much
U'tter than at any previous season, and
the sugar factory is expecting a much
longeY and more profitable run than
last season.
Goes Fifty Bushels.
Pendleton Mr. Hughs, of Helix,
states that wheat junt harvested and
threshed on his ranch and that of his
brother in the vicinity of that place
will yield on an average of 50 bushels
to the acre. There are also a number
of fields of oats which will nearly if
not quite come up to this flgiue. late
reixirts from either direction in this
vicinity seem to indicate that the esti
mates given out earlier In the season
understated rather than overstated the
yield, as in no rase is the yield falling
short of the estimate given.

Linn Wheat Is Short.
Albany Wheat is a short crop in
I. in1! county this year owing to the
long continued diy weather. A few
days of rain just at the i igl t limit
would have made this year's crop the
bumper product for the county, but
the rain failed to come. As it is, tho
wheat in tnont section I hum alxitit 10
bushels per acre. The beads are not
well filled, and the grain is a little
light, Some of the harvctitiiig machmcN

and 5,00(1,000 pounds of prunes, is
the latest estimate placed upon the
state yield for the season of 11)05 by

The average yield for the state is about
13,000,000 txiumln, but the greatest
yield was that of 11MKI, which amoutod
to 15,000,000 pounds. A great many
agencies are ascribed as the cause for the
shortage this year, among them being
the prolonged warm and dry weather,
and consequent lack ol moisture.
Fruit and Grain at Milton.
Milton Fruit is coming into mar
