Senator M itchell fails to find any thing in reports to warrant the remov al of Postmaster Bancroft at Portland. Two riots in Victor, Colo., following the blowing up of non-union miners, resulted in two miners being killed and a number injured. Thirteen non-union miners were killed at Victor, Cloo, while waiting for a train. Three hundred pounds of dynamite was placed under the depot platform and fired by electricity by un known persons. Troops have been ordered to the scene. A Paris report says General Kuroki has been captured. The Colorado m ilitary, continues to deport striking miners.

St. Petersburg, June 7.— The gen eral public at the Russian capital is Imbued with the belief that import ant m ilitary developments are im pending at Liao Yang, and that a gen eral engagement between Kuropat- kln’s and general Kurokl’s armies is imminent. Although the authorities are doing nothing to discourage the idea, the best-informed circles at the war office do not anticipate a decis ive battle Immediately, unless brought on more or less unexpectedly by an accidental j collision between strong columns, as often happens in war fare. T h e war office’s information does not indicate that the Japanese have concentrated for an attack on Gener al Kuropatkin, and it is expected they are not yet ready to assume the of fensive. Nevertheless, it is known that differences o f opinion exist at the Russian headquarters as to the ad visability o f taking the aggressive, and it is believed this matter was the subject o f a conference between the commander-in-chief and the Viceroy at Mukden Tuesday. Kuropatkln’s position is becoming very formidable, both in the number and character o f troops at his dispos al. The condition o f some o f the Si berian reserves when called to the ’colors was not satisfactory and caused Kuropatkin misgivings, but it is now reported that they have been drilled into a state o f efficiency. More important, however, are the large reinforcements o f field artil lery, in which the Russian army was especfally weak. These have now ar rived. Nevertheless, Kuropatkin does not consider himself strong enough to risk the possibility o f a defeat which m ight be irretrievable and re sult la- disaster or at least years o f campaigning. His friends praise his steady conservatism, caution and re fusal to listen to the counsel o f the hotspurs. RUSSIA CANNOT BBLIBVB IT. Japan Held to Have No Right to Offer Territory to China.

The senator indicted for bribery thinks the lower court erred. Crook county, Oregon, towns are booming with the arrival of many would be settlers who are attracted by the irrigation projects. Russia baa no ground for supposing Geimany is in a position to help her either diplom atically or m aterially, as no treaties exist between the two countries. The esar and a council of war have decided to advise Kuropatkin to en deavor to relieve Port Arthur. Russia has dispatched the first of eight submarine boats to Vladivostok by rail. The Japanese are landing a second army at Takushan. - Superintendent Potter, of the Che- mawa Indian school, may be trans ferred as a result of the chargee against him. * / y Large forces of Chinese bandits are soliciting in the bills northeast of the Liao river and are preparing to cut the railway north of Mukden.
