I t may be stated that the result has been' to dis close the fact that neither of the bellig erents was yet in the humor to sue for peace, nor feven to entertain overtures from any third power on that subject. The Japanese have landed another army of 10,000 men. The proceeds of the Butte mines for the fiscal year jnst ended is $7,354,229. The Vladivostok sqnadron sank steamer and sailing vessel at Gensan, Corea. Mayr Jones, of Toledo, Ohio, is seri ously ill and the chances of his recov ery are slight. Harriman has placed an order for 60,000 tons of steel rails, one-third of which are for the Southern Pacific. A Tellnride, Colorado, miDe has closed down on account of inability to secure competent help. Other proper ties aie expected to follow in a short time. A report from General Oku says that after the-fight at Vafangow the Japan ese buried 1,854 Russian dead. The trophies taken in this engagement con sisted of 16 gnns, 46 wagons and 858 rifles. Japanese advices state that women were seen on board the Russian war ships during the last engagement, con firming the suspicion that the Port Arthur fleet was trying to escape to a neutral port. Secretary Shaw has approved a de sign for the Lewis and Clark souvenir gold dollar . A likeness of Lewis ap pears on one side and of Clark on the other.

The Russian Vladivostok squadron has appeared at Gensan, Corea, and fired on the town. The acting land commissioner has decided that a corporation has the same right to file on desert land as a citizen. The secretary of commerce and labor has ordered that all passenger carrying steamboats in the New York harbor be reinspected. A Russian submarine boat sank at. her moorings at the Baltic shipbuilding yards through inexperienced handling and 21 lives were lost. Germany has ordered a gunboat to H ayti to ins:st upon the punishment of the guards who assaulted the French and German minister*. The Japanese second army is report ed to have effected a juncture with the first, army and that the whole force now aas a fighting front of 120 miles. Forty-three firemen, four of whom w ill probably die, were overcome by gas and smoke at a fire in 'N ew York. The breaking of a gas main was the cause. Thiity-six more have been deported.

Below That of Falling Off—Much W heat Into Fleur— Eastern and California Mark ata Draw on Northwest. in 1901. Shipments from Portland in the past 12 months, including flour as wheat, were 8,400,865 bushels, compared with 14,099,282 busheJs in the preceding year, and 16,57429,5 bushels two years ago. Puget sound shipments show the same ratio of decrease, having been 11,- 868,148 bushels as against 18,073,818 bushels in 1902, and 18,825,007 bush els in 1901. A portion larger than usual of the wheat in the past season went into flour, due in large measure to the heavy requirements of the Orient jnst before the war between Japan and Rns- bia broke out. Another feature of the season was the demand from Eastern markets for Northwestern wheat Shipments from this coast to Chicago and 8t. Louis were made possible for á short time by the speculative excite ment in the Middle West caused by the Armour corner and 1,483,957 bushels of Northwestern wheat found their way across the Rockies against only 300,000 bushels so shipped the year before. With the short supply in this section, there was a still greater shortage, com paratively speaking, in California, which necessitated the movement of a large quantity of wheat southward, and thus reduced the amount available for ovér-sea shipment. Furthermore the demand from the Antipodes, that was so prominent in 1902-03, .was lacking. Consequently the cargoes that were sent abroad from Northwest ports in the year jnst closed were much less in number than in the preceding year. There is hardly a question but that the Pacific Northwest w ill this fall har vest the greatest wheat crop in its his tory. F ifty m illion bushels is believed by leading men in the grain trade to be a conservative estimate. The dronth, if long continued, w ill affect the yield, but ten days more of lack of rain w ill not endanger the crop. After that a continuance of dry weather w ill become more serious. I t is conceded that the output of the valley w ill be light and spring grain is suffering from lack of moisture in some sections east of the mountains, bat the great balk of the crop is as yet in no danger. RBADY TO RUSH ON LAND. Prohibition O’ Day Is Par Years—Exports Alto Show a Heavy SC Democrat Berry OREGON, WASHINGTON, AND IDAHO PRODUCE 33,584,970 BUSHELS. The cereal year of 1903-04, brought to an end July 1, was remarkable for the shrinkage of the shipping business of the North Pacific ports. This falling off in exports was occasioned by the de crease in the wheat yield of Oregon, Washington and Idaho as compared with the few preceding years. The three states produced last year 33,584, The state department w ill continue 970 bushels of wheat against 41,679,435 to maintain the friendly position it has bushels in 1902 and 463,64,238 bushels the Japs send fleeter ships after it. Kuropatkin has decided to withdraw to Haicheng. Japanese Artillery Believed by R u s la n s to Be la His Charge. Diplomacy May Soon Enter Into the Par Presidential Candidate. Presence of Many People at Bonesteel Cause* Troops to Bo Sent. Bonesteel, 8. D., July 2.— The gov ernment has ordered three companies of regular troops to Bonesteel to assist the local authorities in preserving or der daring the rush incident to the opening of the Rosebud reservation, which w ill occur July 6. The first serious incident in connection with the rush occurred last night when “ K id ” English, n cook, was fatally shot by Police Captain Ault. English, it is said, became boisterous and the officer ordered him to “ move on.” He re fused, and in an altercation which fol lowed, Au lt shot him. The officer was arrested and taken to Fairfax for safe keeping. About 6,000 persons are quartered in tents and temporary buildings awaiting an opportunity to register. Locators estimate that 35,000 persons w ill be here during the registration period. Liao Yang. July 6.— General Kuro patkin and General Kuroki are moving their troops like men on a chessboard. The Japanese are now 20 miles from Liao Yang. Rpins are impeding their movements. Detachments totalling 1,- 200 men have been detailed from Gen eral Rennenkampff’ s Cossacks to scout defiles and hills, harassing the Japan ese, and not allowing them any rest day or night. The Japanese artillery are said to be commanded by an Am er ican. H is tall form is frequently seen with the batteries. Knroki’ s army is extremely active east of the Russian position, and the Russians are correspondingly vigilant. The Russian center is ra p id ly pushing northward to a point where Kuropat kin established his base after the bat tle of Yafangow. As far as the Rus sians know, Knroki is steadily poshing onward through a ll the mountain passes, even toward Mukden. Prepar ations at all points are now practically complete. The demonstrations made during the last few days against th « Russian left flank threaten completely to change the position of the two armies. Notwithstanding four days’ rain, the troops are still moving. Some railroad trains with wonnded passed north on June 30. Newspaper correspondent« have returned to Liao Yang from the south. A press bureau has been estab lished at Liao Yang. ’05 STAM P W OULD COST MUCH. O m of the Reason« Postal Oppose« Special las Washington, July 6.— The postoffice department gives several treasons for not. favoring a speoial issue of postage stamps for the Lewis and Clark expo sition, notwithstanding series were is sued by the department in commemora tion of the Chicago, the St. Louis, th e Buffalo and the Omaha fairs. Prim ar ily Third Assistant Postmaster Genera). Madden, in charge of stamp matters, disapproves of the policy of issuing stamps in honor of expositions and thinks the practice should stop. Again it is found that the cest of gett ing out special issues is a considerable item which the department does n ot feel justified in InsorriDg. and, th ird ly, the department holds the Lewis and Clark exposition to be local in character» not a national affair as the 8t. Louie exposition. For these reasons the re- ” quest for a special issue of stamps h a « been denied. Aside from assigning the reasons h er« stated, the postal officials are not in clined to discuss the matter, but h op « Portland peqple w ill not press further in this matter. W IL L NOT TOLERAI B MEDIATION. Russia Will Consider Peace Only W ho*, Japan Propose« it. 8t. Petersburg, July 6.— Dispatches from Washington saying that inquiries made by the government as to the pos sibility of mediation show that neither Russia nor Japan is in a humor to en tertain overtures, but that the state de partment is ready to offer its services in the interests of mediation whenever they may be acceptable, are attracting considerable attention in government and diplomatic ciicles. The optimistic opinions attributed to official circles at. Washington regarding the early open ing of friendly offices are not shared in Russia. On the contrary, wherever inquiries have been made the opinion has been unanimous that there is nothing in the present situation, so far as Russia is concerned, on which to base an early termination of the war, and that the* question of peace w ill be considered only when direct proposals have been made oy Japan. •-Russia has announced her determi nation not to tolerate mediation, and this determination seems to be rather strengthened t^an shaken by the re verses to her arms.

San Jose, July 5.— An excursion train conveying 1,500 members of the St. Francis de Sales Parish, of Oakland, to Sunset Park, was wrecked near Alma, in the Santa Cruz mountains, this af ternoon. Almost miracnlonsly none of the passengers was injured. In some unaccountable manner two cars jumped the track and th « engine went over an embankment. The 12 other cars, that were heavily laden with wo men and childten, remained on the rails. The accident occurred just above Alma, at the old tunnel. London, July 4.— The correspondent of the Times at Tangier, says: Anar- rangement has Been reached between the French legation and the saltan rel ative to the introduction of Algerian police into Tangier. The French gov ernment is considering the details re garding the number of force and other matters. The police aie urgently needed, especially as the departure of the warships without achieving any practical results has made a very bad impression upon the tribesmen, who are more arrogant than ever. Japanese Advance Suspended. St. Petersburg, July 6.— In view o f the reports of heavy rains at the thea ter,of war the general staff thinks t h » Japanese advance on Haicheng has been suspended. One, war office report says that 15 minutes’ rain flooded the valley near Kiachou and that several men and horses weie lost. Official confirmation has been received of the dispatch from Mukden saying heavy fighting was re ported to haYe taken place near Port Arthur on June 26, resulting in the Russian withdrawal from Guinsansham after severe losses on both sides. W ill A d d rw * Note of Surrender. Rome, July 4.— A Tokio dispatch states that Field Marshal Oyama pre sided at a meeting of the war council today. It was decided that following the fall of Port Arthur and the capture of Liao Yang by General Kuroki, Gen eral Oyama shall address a demand to General Kuropatkin to surrender. Should the latter (ail to do an, the Jap anese w ill then annihilate the Russian forces in Manchuria. Negro Population of United State«.
