Victoria, II. (J.. April 30. The Itus
slan demands regarding Manchuria did
not coino ns surprise to Japan, accord
Ing to advices received hero today by
tho steamer Oanwi. Japan had boon
preparing for tho crisis and dispatches
to jajtanoso pajwrs irom various sec
tlons Indicate that Ituisla has alro
lireu making warlike preparations,
Ullcers of I tho Oanna say that for
months laruo Importations of rlco imvo
been made by Japan and all export In
forbidden. From Now Uhwang It is
refuted that .1,000,000 tauls Imvo Ixyn
forwardod to rort Arthur to buy pro
visions, and from Nagasaki comes the
news that Ilustlan agents have bought
up 10,000 tons of Cardiff coal thore,
and at Chofoo, all on hand. Largo
purchases of foodstuffs are also re
ported.
As for the evacustlon of Manchuria,
dispatches to Japanese papers say It is
patent that Hussla hail no Intention of
oviicuatlng, although one dispatch rnys
that tho garritou of Moukden was en
tralnrd for Fort Arthur when a sudden
Kilogram from Fort Arthur forbade the
departure and tho garrlrou marched
back to Its barracks. A I'ekln dispatch
of April II fays the Ituceisri troops in
Manchuria gavo soma sign of moving
when tho plans weru changed. Thoro
stationed at Now Ohwang were moved
a mllo further from the town and room
to bo settling down In the new location
and making ready for hostilities.
Moreover, days a dispatch from I'ekln
to the Jljl, there aro telegrams coming
to I'ekln from points along tho coast re
porting most suspicious actions on the
part of Kuislan .rarshlps. The b!
battleships coming to reinforce the
Russian squadron In Eastern waters,
consisting of tho 13,700-ton battleship
itotvlan, tho cruisers Fallada and Diana
and flvo torpedo boat destroyers, passed
Hong Kong oo April 13 for Fort
Arthur.
Another I'ekln diipatch to the Asahi
rays that numbers ol soldiers are being
moved Into Manchuria, garbed In civil
1st) clothes. Other dkpatches tell of
the cutting of tho telegraph lines In
Manchuila by Itusslan officers and of
the cutting of the cable between Now
Chwang and Chofoo by Russians.
An olllclal of tho Toklo foreign office,
Interviewed by a Japanere paper, says
that Viscount Aoki has been constantly
shsdowed by Kusslans during his ofu
clal visits at I'ekln. This official also
told of Iluasla's warllko preparations,
of tho auspicious movements of Husslan
warships In tho gulf of i'rchill, and of
the buying up of foodstuffs by tho itus
slan agents.
Another sensational dispatch, pub
llslied by the Jopanowi papers Is that,
Japanese having rat flro to tho forests
at the mouth of the Yclu, Itussla has
dispatched n force of 1,000 troops over
land to that point. It was Intended to
send a force of 1,000 by tho steamer
Wuchari, plying between Port Arthur
and Taku, but this vessel Is llrltlsh,
and permission to carry tho forcu was
refused. It was Increased and sont
overland. Itussla obtained a lease of
thiyo forests In 1800 on the occasion ol
tho lllght of tho Korean emperor to tho
Itusslan legation. '

WANT Ifiail PRICES.
Harlon County Prult and Wool Mn Or
ganlzs Unions for Mutual IlentflU
Union among producers to compol
competition among buyers wss the
watchword at tho meetings of fruit
growers and woolgrowors in fialem last
Baturday. Tho producers pronoso to
stand togothor for their mutual benefit
and to compel buyers to bid against
each other for tho produce they Imvo to
soli. To secure tho highest price tho
market will warrant is the purpose,
and those who aro IdontlDod with tho
unions fool confident of a successful
outcome of tho co-operatlvo movement.
About CO owners of sheep met and
organized tho Marion county woolgrow
ers' association. A cales commltleo
was appolnU-d. Committees were alio
apjolntod to draft resolutions as a basis
for the organization and lo prepare a
constitution. A largo committee, com
posed of residents of different parts of
the county, will bo appointed to solicit
membership.
Tho Kalorn fruitgrowers' union, which
was organized last year, held a meet
ing to discuss tho methods of disposing
of this year's crop of berries and cher
rles. It was tho geooral opinion that
competition must govern the pilces, but
after tho early fruit has been disposed
of tho Halem cannery will bo given the
iireferonco at the same price that shall
be offered by shippers.
The growers wore a unit in voicing
their loyalty to tho canttery and assort
ed their Intention lo give tho cannery
their (tatronge, provided that the pro
prietor would moot the View of ship
pers. Homo of the early fruit will be
shipped fresh, while tho prices are
high, nut after that the fruit will bo
offered to the cannery in preference to
shipping frejh, the prico being tho
same or better. An earnest deairu for
ine success oi tno cannery was ex
profscd by many, or the reason that
tills enterprise furnishes a market for
the fruit and prevents a glut In tho
local market. A determination to pro
duce better quality of fruit was also
expressed.

IMPOSING" CEREMONY AT ST. LOUIS
EXPOSITION.
One Hundred and l:ortyFlvc Thousand
People Present Cold Weather Only
Drawback to Complete Success of the
Day Eleven Thousand Troop Re
viewed by the President.
St. Louis, May 1. Tho buildings of
the Louisiana Pu rebate Exposition
were yesterday formally dedicated to
! ,,,olr PurPM tt' possible pomp
marched past the presiuent, and at
times so nearly blinding the president
that it was well nigh impossible for
him to see across the street upon which
tho troops ware marching.
Added to the discomfort of the wind
and, dust was a temperature which
sought or the marrow and generally
reached it. Tho ladies who,
etreDgth of tho warm weather
on the
of the
day before, came in summer dresses to
the reviewing stand, suffered keenly,
and but for tho tboughtfolnesa of the
oQlccTJ commanding tho guard thrown
around the reviowing stand, who pro
vided them with blankets, many ol
them would have been compelled to
leavo the place. Both President Rooee
volt and ex-President Cleveland re
mained in the reviewing stand exposed
to the icy wind until tho ead or tho
parade, althli tkfit Ucm. tblm&&i,
and their limbs stiffened by tho' cold.
Conditions in the Liberal arts building,
where the dedication ceremonies proper
were held, wore little better. There
was no wind, but there were manifold
... ...i.i . . j "
effect ot this was ovident in all cf the
speochos, as the speakers, commencing
their speeches in clear toucs, were
without exception given over to catarrh
al inllections before they finished.
Despite this heavy handicap, how
ever, the ceremonies proper were splen
didly handled and the programme was
carried out to tho letter. Tho police
work was excellent and the patrolling
of the avenues and passageways by the
First Missouri Infantry was ablydono
and all possible consideration shown
the great crowd.
The great military parade, which
was doslgned to bo distinctively tho
show spectacle ot tho dedlcaory cere-
monies, proved to be all that its pro
moters could wish, aud all that tho
regular army officers who controlled it
could hope for. The sight oi the
marching thousands from the point oc
cupied by President Roosevelt's review
ing ttaud was ono long to bo remem
bered. For a halt mile to tho left and
for an equal distance to tho right, the
winding column was in complete view.
llio president watched
the march oast
with eager attention. Kvery well-set
0 foTlo'n' " "and ve7 ' ? w were
Mt nccurato) ec,tea bIa ,ie.y eomm
mendatlou. From end to end of tho
l0 of march the cheers of tho im-
menro crowd were as cordial as tho
president's approval.
There wore 11,000 men in lino
3,100 regulars and 7,000 ot the
National guard, New York being repre
sented by 1,000 ofllcers and men; Illi
nois, 1,000; Iowa, 000; Missouri, 3,-
000; Oklahoma, 2,200; Ohio,
1,000.
Toe formation throughout was in col
umn ot platoons, ot all arms, at half
distance, tho infantry marching 10 file,
and the cavalry 12 troopers front.

a stroke ot paralysis. The strain ou
