Portland, June 22 — Canada may
conclude to take an active part in the
LOwte and d a r k exposition. While
that government has in the past
seemed disinclined to participate, a
change has been wrought in the
eleventh boar. A bill making an ap.
propriation of $50,000 ia to be intro­
duced at once in the Canadian parlia­
ment.
Telergaphic communication to this
effect was received st 1 ewis and Clark

telegram was received from Colonel 11.
E. Loach, commissioner genrrsl, « b o
recently went lo Ottawa to interest the
Canadian otticials in the fair. It was
addressed to Director General Goode,
but, as Mr. Goode baa been oat of the
city for a week past, the message was
received by Secretary Henry Reed.
The message is as follows:
"A fte r many consultations and inter­
views, outlook for Canada's participa­
tion is favorable. Ministers will ask
parliament tor $50,000."
This news was a pleasant surprise to
fair officials, who had all but given up
hope of getting thw Canadian govern­
ment interested. A ll communii ations
s--nt to Ottawa and to Canadian officials
had been courteously replied to, but
the tone of the replies was not encour-
sging
There seemed to be a disposi­
tion on the part of the Canadian people
to concentrate their efforts on making a
fine exhibit at the fair in Belgium,
which takes place next year, almost
simultaneously with the Lewis and
Clark exposition.

New York, June 22.— A cable dis­
patch to the World today, which is not
signed, and which the World says was
probably forwarded by the American
legation at Pekin, announces the shoot­
ing of Colonel Edward Emerson, Jr.,
one of the W orld’s correspondents in
the Far East, and conveyed the impres­
sion that he had been killed.
The
cable stated that it was reported that
Emerson bad been shot by Russians,
who mistook him for a spy.
A letter was received from Emerson
by the World shortly before the receipt
of this cable, date«] May 14, containing
these expressions:
“ Mukden is muzzled; no news can
get out from there. I find I can get
into the Russian lines.”
Emerson left the Japanese army some
time ago, anil pushed on to Mukden.
BAYS RUSSIA LOST 7,000 MEN.
Wounded Officer Say* No Troops Could
Have Withstood Japanese.
Niu Chwang, June 22.— A Russian
officer who was wounded in the battle
at Vafangow (Telissu) told an Associ­
ated Press correspondent that the losses
on both sides were severe. He places
the Russian casualties at least at 7,000
He says no soldiers in the world could
withstand the Japanese as they have
been fighting lately. Their artillery
fire, he asserts, is marvelously effective.
The Russians fought stubbornly, des­
perately, but were unable to withstand
the enemy’s (lashing persistency.
Several hundred wounded Russians
have been sent north, owing to a lack
of hospitals and surgeons. A ll the
available transportation has to be used
for supplies at the expense of the sick
and wounded. The Japanese buried
most of the Russian dead after the bat­
tle.
It is estimated on the information
obtainable that the force moving north­
ward is 70,000 strong, with 90,000 men
in the aggregate engaged in the opera­
tions at Port Arthur. Several Japan
ese spies have recently been captured a
few miles south of Niu Chwang.
The Russians are becoming morevig
ilant and are watching newspaper rues
sages closely.
in confirming the pres* report that the
sultan ha. agreed to all of Ratsult *
terms, adds the bandit requested that
the money ransom, $55,000, be pal
over todav. Mr. Gummere expressed
grave doubts as to the advisability of
making this payment before Perdicaris
and Varley were actually released,
and safely returned to Tangier.
In his cablegram the consul general
states that Kaisuli’s negotiator re­
turned to Tangier last night and re­
ported that the terms had been at-
cepted and the money as well as the
prisoners released by the sultan today
must be immediately turned over to
Kaisuli at Tiradant, where he is now
located, and the captives will be re­
leased.
Mr. Gummere and the British minis­
ter both objected to this plan, on the
ground that they placed everything in
Kaisuli’s hands and they had no assur­
ance that he would carry out his agree­
ment after he got hold of the money.
Therefore they sent s special courier to
Raisuli, suggesting that the exchange
he effected through thesherio of Vtazen,
who had a powerful influence over
Raisuli. The answer is expected to­
morrow.
Based on past experience, it is feared
Raisuli is not to be depended upon,
and once he has the money in hand
and still controls the prisoners, he will
make fresh demands.
However, noth­
ing more can be done at this stage, ac-
coriling to Mr. Gummere, and the state
department w ill await the conclusion
or this last attempt to free the prison­
ers.
