\Y*ahington, July 5 .— W hile the
officials here art aatisfieil from their
private advices that the recent visit of
K ing Edward to his nephew, Em peror
W illiam , was not brought about by a
purpose to initiate • movement toward
the restoration of peace between Russia
and Japan, there is reason to believe
that some very careful and discreet in
quiries as to the opportunities of some
such overtures at this tim e have ema
nated from Washington. 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.

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.

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.

The cereal year of 1903-04, brought to

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 ”

Police Captain Ault. English, it is
said, became boisterous and the officer
ordered him to “ move on.”
He re

lowed, Au lt shot him. The officer was
arrested and taken to Fairfax for safe
keeping.
About 6,000 persons are quartered in

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.

Washington, July 6.— The postoffice
department gives several treasons for not.

sition, notwithstanding series were is

tion of the Chicago, the St. Louis, th e

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

Sunset Park, was wrecked near Alma,

of the passengers was injured. In
