Washington, August 11.— The cap- tnre of Yaug Tsuu, the first objective point of the international forces, was the supreme news of importance re ceived today on the Chinese situation. The first word of this capture, effected last Monday, came to the signal office at the war department from Colonel Scriven, the general officer at Che Foo, saying: “ Che Foo, Augnst 11.— Signal O f fice, Washington: August 6— Yang Tsun captured today. Wire up. Need own transportation. A ll well. “ SC R IV E N .” H alf an hour after this message a cablegram came from General Chaffee, giving additional details of the capture and showing that it had been at the coat of about 60 casualties among the American troops. General Chaffee’s dispatch ia as follows: “ Yang Taun, August 6.— Yaug Tsun occupied today. Wounded— Second Lieutenant Frank R. Long, Ninth infantry. Casualties, about 60 men, Ninth United States infantry, Four teenth United Stuies infantry and bat tery F, Fifth United States artillery. Nearly all from Fourteenth infantry. Names later. Many men prostrated by heat and fatigue. C H A F F E E .” Hardly less important was a dispatch from General Terauchi, second iu com mand of the Japanese staff, sent to the war office of Japan and transmitted tc the legation here, Btatiug that the in ternational army would total 50,000 men August 15, to advance ou Pekin. This dispatch stated that ou the 4th, when it was forwarded, the advance had not begun. This was at first in comprehensible, in view of the fact that fighting has actually occurred. But the later statement that the inter national force would total 50,000 men on the 15th appears to make clear Gen eral Terauchi’ s meaning and to recon cile it with General Chaffee’s dis patches. The present movement cl some 16,000 men doubtless is viewed in the light of a reconnoissance in force, the main movement of the army of 50,000 to follow on the 15th. This makes clear the meaning ot General Chaffee’s dispatch that Yang Tsun was the objective point. The war depart ment has been puzzled on this point. It would appear, however, from Gen eral Terauchi’s dispatch that the first foice of 16,000 meu, having opened up communications to Yaug Tsuu, brought forward supplies aud established this advauce base, the way would then be clear for the advance of the lurger force on the 15tb. The capture of Yaug Tsun is there fore an important strategic branch of the fast maturing military plans. The place is about 18 miles beyond Tien Tsin, and a little less than a quartei of the way to Pekin. Colonel Scriven’t statement that “ wire up” contain! nrnch meaning, ns it is explained >i showing that there is telegraphic com munication with the army in the field. Aside from the assurance this gives, ol speedy transmission of news front the front, it gives the additional assurance that the line is intact back to tire first base of operations. Tbe rapture ol Yang Tsun the day following the bat tle of Peit Sang is regarded as a highly successful military achievement, and especially in view of the fact that it was looked upon as a stronghold whose capture might give the foreigners con siderable trouble. H u r r i c a n e In » C o l o r a d o T o w n . Denver, Augnst 8.— A special to the News from Sterliog. Colorado, says: A terrible and destructive hurricane struck this place at 6:15 this evening accomupauied by a cloudburst of short duration. An unusually heavy raiufall continued a greater portion of the night. The Catholic church, a large edifice, was completely wrecked, and leveled to the ground, aud several resi dences aud other buildings were wholly or partially destroyed. No persons were injured. Telegraph and tele phone wires were blown dowu aud the railroad was blockaded with overturned cars. European Preparation«. London, August 9.—The Sebastopol correspondent of the Daily Graphic savs that the Russian government w ill send 125,000 additional troops from Odessa to the far East before the end of the year. Berlin dispatches say it is j rumored there that an agreement has been reached between Emperor Nicho las and Emperor W illiam whereby Ger man troops w ill be permitted to pro ceed to China by way of Siberia. C h in e «« F lood ed the C oantry. Tokio, August 11.— A dispatch re ceived here, describing the capture ol Peit Sang by tbe allied forces, con firms the previous accounts and adds that the advance of the Russian and French troops, numliering 6,000 men, has been prevented by the enemy flood ing tbe country. It is impossible to estimate the aniouut of money expended anuually ou the Pacific coast, or even iu Oregou alone, for the replacement of wooden articles caused by atmospheric decay. Tbe humidity of our climate produces niarvelos growth and greeuess, but it also causes rapid decay. The growing tree with sap filled veins endures for centuries, but the felled timber of com merce, rapidly deteriorates whether employed ou land or in water, in con tact with soil or exposed to the air. The trnthfnlnesa of this assertion cannot be denied. It ia within the knowledge of all who use wood; from the taxpayer of Portland, who sees his bridge timbers, trestles and paving blocks drop with sickening rapidity into the limbs of things to he repaired at his expense, to the farmer on his ranch, who is constantly lamenting the fiequency with which his fence posts, hop poles, house supports, barns and sheds cull for renewal and an aggra vating outlay of time, work and money. Are these ills remediable, or must they be endured by future as they have been by pHst geuerations ? This is u question of absorbing importance to urban and rural dwellers alike in tbe humid Pacific coast belt. Fortunately au eucouragiug respouse may be given to the inquiry. A certain German wood preservative known as Avenarius Carbolineutn, ab solutely prevents decay and extends the longevity and usefulness of wood structures from oue, two or at most five years to at least twenty. Avenarius Curbolineum is a chemical wonder and ia so recognized by governments and individuals all over the world, it is astonishing that a remedy of such value against timber diseases should have only recently found recognition iu a section where its services are bo im peratively demanded. Applied with a brush this remark able preparation penetrates to the very vitals of tbe article treated, acting like living sap aud not only lights off decay, but adds a considerable percentage to the tensile strength of the structure. It is apparently exempt from evapora tion, us the whittlings of a stick treated exhibit moisture years after ap plication. Now that actual experience in this territory hus been added to the knowledge afforded by foreign testi monials, Avenarius Carbolineum is cer tain to become a staple commodity saving immense annual outlay iu re pairs nnd adding very materially to the purposes for which our leading pro duct, timber, cau be employed. CU B A N The O A A U n i M I A I T A J U D IC IA R Y , H avana Press Accuse« I t r u p t io n . o f Cor Havana, August 11.— The press unanimously criticises and condemns what it terms the corrupt condition of the C u I ihii judiciary system. Bold chaiges have been made by tbe news papers that judges and other members of tire court have been receiving lees for cases coming to trial iu the courts aud which they themselves have to de cide. Tlie Post charges the Cuban ju diciary wtih having a compact organi zation, extending over the entire sys tem, so perfect that “ corruption is con ducted with absolute safety,” and adds: “ There are members of the courts who retain their law offices and leave the affairs of the offices to those who were their clerks befoie they were on the bench. These cleiks arrange the details of representing the old clients of those judges aud arrauge the fees, etc. “ in this way a judge upon a bench decides a cHse at issue while really rep resenting oue of the parties to the suit, aud the result may be imagined iu each iustunce iu which this is the case.” T h e Suit AgaiiiM t N e ely. New York, Angust 11.— General Henry L. Barnett, United Htates dis trict attorney, returned here today from Washington. He had a confer ence with Secretary of War Root and Attoruey-Goncral Griggs as to the fu ture course of the government to be taken iu tbe Neely case. General Bur nett said that tbe suggestion -in Judge Lacomlie’s opinion w ill lie followed and the criminal charge of bringing stolen funds into the United States w ill be discontinued. In tbe civil suit for wrongful conversion, the order of ar rest against Neely w ill be vaeated, but tbe suit itself w ill be pushed for the recovery Of the money. T r i e d t o R o b m D y i n g Man.

Em p loyed. D e ta il« o f th e Plo t. Astoria, August 13.— The fishing sea son just closed ou the Columbia river has beeu a remarkable oue iu several particular. While the run of salmon has been light and the pack is small compared w ith that.uf former years, the price of raw fish has been such that more money has t>eeu paid to the fish- ermeu, trapmeu uud seiners for their labor than for several seasons. The quality of the fish caught has beeu ex ceptionally good, commanding the highest market figures, aud, notwith- staudiug the advauce in raw fish, the packers have sold their product at prices which netted them a much bet ter profit timu they received a year ago. Thus, while the pack shows a slight falling off from tiiatof 1899, [he season of 1900 cuu be regarded as a more suc cessful oue so far as the profits of all directly engaged iu ^the industry ars concerned. Official figures show the spring pack on the Columiba river for the seasou of 1899 to have beeu 278.000 cases. While it is impossible at this time to get exact figures, a carefully prepared estimate places this season’s pack at 262,0'Jff cases. This estimate is ou a basis • ( four dozeu oue-pouud cans to the case. About 40 per ceut of the to tal pack was put up by the Columbia River Backend Association, commonly kuowu as the combine, which consists of a combination of 10 canneries. Bo- sides the above, there were 1,600 tous, or what would equal 50.U0O cases, of yaltuou shipped by the cold-storage meu. The estimated pack of the indi vidual canneries, compared with the estimate at the close of last seasou, is as follows in cases: Canuertes. 1899. 1900. t'atun Fishermen’s Co-operative.. 26.U0U SUM Hauborn ..... . 9.000 C olu m M a H ire r Pa ck in g C o ......... 14,500 1:1.000 H 0 0 1 I 1 P a ck in g Co...........................

The couspiraturs numbered about 15. They had plauued to set fire to the houses in the extreme western end of the city, hoping that the troops would be con centrated there. The plan waa that the conspirators wire foroibly to enter all bouses occupied by British officers and kill the oocupauts. The Boer sym pathizers were acquainted with the plot, and several had been told off t secure the person of Lord Roberts am. to hurry with him to the nearest com mando. Horses had beeu obtained for this purpose. The affair has created a tremendous sensation. Pratorlana I n v o l v e d . Pretoria, August 13.— The plot dis covered to make a prisoner of Lord Roberts and shoot all the British offi cers, included a number of the towns people, who were in communication with tbe enemy. It was arranged that the capture and killing should take place on the evening of Tuesday last, luteuse indignation prevails throughout the army, and the general opinion is that the leniency of the British invited such a conspiracy. It is considered that no measure for the repression of such plots cau be too strong. HOT W EATHER IN THE EAST. A l l R e c o r d s B r o k e n In C h i c a g o - M a n y D e a th « and Prostration«.
