OUTRAGE BY RUSSIA.
United Slates Mall Is Confiscated
by Vladivostok Squadron.
Portland, Oct. IK Thu Ituwlan
government, not content with stopping
vesmtls from thu Pacific coast, bc-causo
they carried merchandise 'Intended for
privuto firms and Individuals in Japan,
has now taken to confiscating United
Hlates malls. This has been done with
the ins II curried on tho steamer
Cnlchas, and the act ban caused a pro
test to bo mado hy the owners and
agents of the steamer, which has been
Hied with the poatofllrn department at
Washington. Alfred Holt & Co., tho
owners of tho Cnlchas, also give notice
that during the duration of tho war
they will carry no rnoro United HtaUti
mail to Japan.
Tlm latest move of the Russians will
probably involve them deeper than any
of their other aibitrarv acts since the
wai oeiied, as tho government is not
likely to permit its malls to he molest
ed by tho czar's officials or by any one
else.
Thu particulars of tho Calchas affair
were forwarded hy Dodwell A Co., the
Tncotna agents ot the line, to Frank
Woolsey A Co., their Portland repre
sentatives, in the following telegram
yesterday:
"We have Just rent the following tel
egram to tho postmaster general at
Washington, I), U.: 'Following cable
Just ncolved from Alfred Holt & Co.,
Liverpool.' owners o( the Rrltish steam
er Cuichar, which vessol was wized by
Russian Vladivostok fleet off Jainn
coast about July 20: "Calchas release
uppealed'againat by Russian crown ad
vocate, because amongst mail mallei
was Information addressed Japanese
ofllcials containing financial informa
tion of value to enemy. We give you
definite, instructions to notify postollice
deportment that we refuse to carry any
mall for Japan during duration ol
war"
" 'The Calchas is one of the regular
llm-rs operating between Pugct sound,
Iondon and Liverpool, via Japan, Chi
na and tho Suez canal, hhe was on
her regulai voyage and her cargo con
tained no contiaband. We understand
that tho Russian ctown advocate Is
basing his apeal against her release
on the fact that United States malla
carried by the Calchas contained infor
mation for Japanese ofllcials.
" 'We hope tho United Slatea gov
ernment will take immediate action
against the conflscatin or detention of
thu Calchas on account of carrying
United States mail. This la certainly
an outrage against the United States
by tho Russian government that should
not be allowed to pass. Please be no
tified that dm Intr the duration of the
war wo must decline to carry United
States mails for Japan. Kindly advise
what action will probably bo taken by
the department and whether them is
anything that wo could or should do.' "

Leading Russian Paper Declares
There Can De No Compromise.
St. Peteieburg, Oct. 11. Replying
lo ths statement of Count Okuma, lead
er of the Japanese progressive party,
that the war with Russia would be
long, but that the Japanese would win
in the end, the Novoe Vremya today
declares the Idea of a possible com
promise with Japan haa been aban
doned and that the war rauat bo prose
cuted by Russia in such a way that
them can lie no possibility of Japan's
renewing the struggle. Eutopo for 30
years was under the menace of revenge
for Alsace.
"If we conclude peace with Japan,
all our efforts In tho Far East will bo
valuoless and we shall have to spend
enormous sum to keep up our arma
ment there. T le Japanese once for all
must be driven out of the Asiatic con
tinent." It is now- accented hero that tho 1 ex
ported naval battle off Poit Arthur was
purely imaginary. The naval reporta
of the newspapers dwell on the difficul
ties which the Fort Arthur nquadion
must experience in breaking after the
dlsas'roUB soitio ot August 10. The
general opinion is that tho squadron
i-otild not venture out unless something
happened to the Japanese warships of
which thorn ia no knowledge hem.
