PREPARES TO FIGHT Russia Rushing Troops Into Far Eastern Territory. BACKBONE IS STIFF. HALF MILLION MEN MAY DE SENT Cars and Locomotives Secured In Auttrla any Germany Preparing m for a Supremo Struggle. Chicago, Aug. 20. Tlio Dally News' correspondent at St. Petersburg says: That tlio war is to continue is indi cated by tho feverish activity shown everywhere In preparing for the su premo struggle. Four hundred soldiers of every guard regiment left yesterday for the front; half n million troops that participated in tho summer man euvers aro available for duty in Man churia, and a largo proportion of them are to bo dispatched thero as rapidly as possible. They will be replaced in tho Russian garrisons by the regular 'all conscriptions. Twelve thousand cars and 300 loco motives have been hired in Austria and Germany to convey men and supplies to the war. Prince Hilkof, minister of railways, is personally hurrying to completion the St. Petersburg-Vintka railway, which will add greatly to the transportation facilities of Russia. The new minister of Siberian railways and waterways, M. Ivanitzcki, is refit ting the Siberian horsoways to relieve the strain on tho trans-Siberian rail way. Prince Wolkoniky said to your corre spondent today: "Peace Is impossible. President Ilosoevclt'a last attempt to bring Rus sia and Japan to an agreement has fail ed, because the czar has solemnly prom ised his people to pay not a single ko pek of tribute and to surrender not an inch of territory. Never since it bo came an empire has Russia paid tribute or ceded territory. The first ruler of the nation who docs either of these things signs his own death warrant. Such payment, however disKUsied, would provoke a revolution." Czar Says Ho Has Ylolded All He Will Ylold. St. Petersburg, Aug. 25. With re- gatd to a dispatch that hns been re ceived horo saying Mr. Witto was awaiting instructions, the Foreign otllco says it is dally In constant com munication with Mti Witto, and that ho will bo fully ablo to go ahead on Saturday, Tho latest developments clearly Indicate that- the Associated Press dispatches sent declaring that Russia will never consent to tho pay ment of an indemnity in any form rep resents Russia's last word with refer ence to the principle of monetary com pensation and tho expenses of tho war. The nuthorltativo statement made to tho Associated Press at Portsmouth, which is in tho same tenor, was met last evening by a declaration from tho otlkial spokesman of tho Foreign ofllce, which was made almost with the force of n formal communication, that under no circumstances and under no disguis es would the principle of Indemnity le admitted, and this decision is accepted by tho Russian public as final. It was declared at tho Foreign otllco also that Russia's slncero desire for peace was manifested in tho spirit of concession shown by the Russian mission on tho other disputed points, and that, if Japan was willing to waive this de mand, which was consistent with neither the honor nor tho dignity of Russia, there would bo no trouble in arranging peace, Japan's insistence on indemnity being the only barrier to the termination of the war. H OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST WHOLE TOWN ILL, MAKE BIG CUT. One CHEU FOOK BIG MAN. the An Intuit to His Children Caused Chinese Boycott. Seattle Wash., Aug. 20. Dr. F. F. Tong. of Shanghai, trade commissioner of China to this country, who is on his way to Washington to confer with the Chinese minister regarding the new treaty with tho United States, today made tho following statement regarding the cause of the Chinese boycott: "I think the boycott really started from the treatment afforded the chil dren of Cheu Fook, the viceroy who rules over the three provinces of Kian so, Che-Kieng and An-Kwei. Shang hai Is one of his cities, and it was there the boycott began. His children were returning by way of America from Eng land, where they had been In echool. They lacked passports such as the priv ileged class carries from China, but there was an abundance of proof that they were the viceroy's children and as such entitled to courtiesies. The re port reached China that they were held up at New York and refused admit tance, finally being compelled to give bonds that they would leave the coun try. "When this news came to Ciiina, there was indignation among the peo ple and they took up the theory that merchants and students were ill treat ed. I believe that single incident did more than anything else to start the light against American goods, and to raiso the cry for a new treaty." and One-Tenth Fare for Round Trip to Exposition. Portland, Aug. 25. An unusually and exceptionally low passenger rate in tho Pacific Northwest will become ef fective on September 1, when round trip tickets will be sold from all points in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and British Columbia to the exposition for one ana one-tentli ot tlio usual (are. This reduction in the direct outcome of the efforts of the exposition to main tain the general local interest in the fair and to the endeavors of the various railroads to do all possible to aid In the success of the West's gieat show. Under tho announcement issued by the Harriman lines, which include the 0. R. A N. and the Southern Pacific, and the Northern Pacific, beginning on September I, round-trip tickets will be sold from all points in Oregon, Wash ington, Idaho and British Columbia to Portland for one and one-tenth the usual fare, these tickets having a time limit of 30 days and to be sold daily from September I to Ocotber 15. This action of the railroads will have the effect of aiding very materially in the success of the fair and will result in largely increased attendance. Throughout the territory embraced by this rate there are many people who, while desiring to visit the exposition, could not well afford tho expense of a trip as it stands at present. NEW SYSTEM BEST. Stato Saves Much In Transporting Insane Patients, Salem After almost three months' operation under tho new law governing tho transproUtlon of Insane, It is found that tho new system costs practically one-half as much as the old. Under tho former system tho sheriff or a dep uty brought insano persons to the asyl um, receiving a per diem of IS and all traveling expenses. Under tho now system tho insane asylum authorities send an attendant from the 'asylum to tho county seat togbrlng the patient to Balem. In eotuo instances the cost of trans portation has been reduced to one-third of what it was formerly, while In other cases tho reduction Is less than one half. Thus it cost under tho former laws f 18.73 to bring a patient from Poitland, hut now It costs only f (1.70. From Clatsop county, which furnished a large number of patients, the former cost was about $45, but now it is only $15. Marlon county, which also sup plies a large number of Insane, former ly cost the state f 0.09 for transortlug patients, but this has been reduced to $1. In tho case of patients from dist ant counties, liko Baker, Coos, Tilla mook and others, where the railroad or stage expenses are heavy, tho saving is not so great. The figures given are not exact, for no extct account ran be kept of the time ot attendants who aro sent out after patients. The attendants who are employed In that work render somo service at the Institution, and spend some time bringing buck pa tients who have escaped. The saving, however, when all allowances are made, will e from 40 to 60 per cent. Winter Wheat Good. La Grande Harvesting in the Grand Rondo valley is now well under way, and so far the yield of fall and winter sown wheat is good, the average being 40 bushels per acre of an excellent quality, many fields yielding 60 bush els. Spring town grain Is very light and will not yield more than halt a crop. The hay crop is very good, and the same condition prevails in Wallowa county as to hay and grain as in this valley. The sugar beet crop is much bettor than at any previous season, and the sugar factory is expecting a much longer and more profitable run than last season. UNDER ANOTHER CHARGE. Workmen Kept Danger Secret. Albany, N. Y., Aug. 20. The coro ner's examination of workmen who were digging a cellar under the Meyers department store t the time of its col lapse recently, shows that tho men were warned of the impending disaster nearly an hour before the structure fell and killed 130 persons. When it was noticed that the earth was crumbling from two of tho big piers in tho cellar, the whole force was put to work to braco the pier. The men continued tho work until the last minute when they ushed out. Customs Officers Seize Goods. Now Westminster, B. O., Aug. 20 A largo consignment ot goods from the Orient was seized by customs ollicers hero today. The price list value shows $1,200; invoico value $7C0. The goods wero consigned to Carter & Co., of Vancouver, and then shipped in bond to New Westminster, expectlnir to avoid customs inspection, hut oili cera here were on the alert, and seized the shipment, which is now held for tho extru value to be made up Bennington in Drydock, Valejo, Cal., Aug. 20. Tho Ben nington went into the drydock yester day and was visited by many people. The boiler and engine rooms still pre sent a frightful spectacle, only the de bris having been removed. The gun boat will be taken out of tho drydock, today, and as no authority has been .received1 to make repairs, she will go out of commission. Burton Accused of Receiving Fees for Pressing Indian Claims. Washington, Aug. 25. The Poet to day says that officials of tho depart ments of Justice and the Interior who have been investigating the Chickasaw echool warrant cases last night made public portions of the records which have been unearthed and which are al leged to implicate Senator J. R. Bur ton, of Kansas, in pressing theso claims before the government, whi e holding the position of senator, in contraven tion of law. The Post adds: "In all, 20 Chickasaw warrants, ag gregating $14,000, have been paid to Sentor Burton, or his brother, Seth Burton, with whom he is alleged to have formed a partnership since March, 1001, when Senator Burton took the oath of ofllce. "Six of the Chickasaw warrants is sued in October, 1001, and aggregating $6,600, were paid directly to J. it. Burton. This was seven months after Senator Burton had taken the oatli of office. Twenty warrants, aggregating $0,000, were subsequently made out in favor of both Burton." G'ves Thanks for Douma. St. Petersburg Aug. 25.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 25, It was stated today that tho sudden departure from St. Petersburg Monday night of Prince Hilkoff, minister of railroads, was for the purpose of investigating several serious accidents, which oc curred recently in Southern Russia to military trains going to the Far Kast. In one of theso accidents, which took place in tho vicinity of Kazan, 20 soldiers were killed and two officers and two soldiers injured. Boycott Stops Sunday Pictures. New Westminster, B. O., Aug, 26, Tho boycott on the Sunday edition of the Vancouver World has proven effect ive, and that journal no longer supplies tho market with colored pictures for Sunday reading. The boyoctt was placed by the Christian Endeavor mem bers of British Columbia, Goes Fifty Bushels. Pendleton Mr. Hughs, of Hells, states that wheat just harvested and threshed on his ranch and that of his brother in the vicinity of that place will yield on an average of 60 bushels to the acre. There are also a number of fields of oats which will nearly if not quite come np to this flirure. I J to reports from either direction in this vicinity seem to Indicate that the esti mates given out earlier in the season understated rather than overstated the yield, as in no case is the yield falling short ot the estimate given. Fruit and Grain at Milton. Milton Fruit is coming into mar ket now in quite large quantities. The pach crop is rather short in this lo cality, but the melons are plentiful and cheap, and largo shipments are being made to outside points. Tho second crop of strawberries has made its ap pearance in the market here, and whllo the crop is light the bcrricn are of ex cellent quality. The farmers in this lo cality are about through with their harvesting. Blaze Starts From Slashings. Woodburn Starting from burning slashings on the Mrs. P. L. Kennedy place, east of Woodburn, fire has burn ed over that farm and tho Snyder and Moreland farms. Strenuous efforts of firefighters saved the buildings, al though Moreland'a house is encircled by fire, and not yet out of danger. The course of the flames is now toward Butte creek, and may do considerable damage before thn fire Is under control.

Inn county this year owing to the long continued dry weather. A few days of rain j it tat at tho right time would have made this year s crop the bumper product for the county, hut the rain (ailed to come. As It Is, thn wheat In most sections runs nttout 10 bushels per acre. The heads are not well filled, and the grain is a little light. Some ot the harvesting machine are unable to make expenses (or the owners at the agreed prices for thresh ing, and threshing-machine men have In many Instances been couiclled to give up the rating agreed upon and sharge for their work by the hour. 20,000 Cars Yearly.

"Nobody," he says, "shares In the op timism of the government." A gen eral recently returned from Manchnrla Is quoted in an interview tixlay as say ing: "The coming csmpslgn will I of short duration. Thn numerical In crease In thn armies will only Impede the retreat which I.lnievitch must make, Ixranse victory is lliiKiiiililo. The soldiers are demoralised and un disciplined, thn chiefs incapable, dis trusted ami disliked," He rontinnsd: "The claim that Japan has reached and paused its climax and Is now ex hausted Is ridiculous, Tho Japanese are gaining strength In pruortloii as we are losing. Any delay will only In crease the price of peace." JAPAN'S REVISED CONDITIONS. Delay Would Deprive Oregon of Sen ator Until Nuar the End of Mitchell's Term. Washington, Auk. 24. Heiiator John II. Mitchell evidently intends to hold on to his seat In the senate just as lung us he can, oven though he la tillable to occupy that seal or perforin any of tho uctlvo duties ot a senator. This lit evi denced by the fact that lie w III not seek to have his case brought to early trial bofoio the United Hlutes Supreme court, but will allow It to be taken up III the regular order, which probably tuesiis that It cannot bo argued ami disposed of at tlio coiulug torinof court, beginning In October and ending early next May. It Is within tfoiistnr Mitchell's pin vliicc, If he so elects, to ask that bin case bo advanced on the docket, In nhli'h event it might bo urgllcd an euily as January. Huch a motion wua made in the case of Heiiator Burton, of Kansas, and comparatively prompt no tion nas tsken on his appeal Hut Mltclioll does not waul quick notion; he Is willing to wait, and, as previ ously staled, It Is the liellef of the Huprome court oltlclals that to wait means to potMitic thn decision until tho n Inter of I Mill.", which is near the close of Mitchell's term, It Is, of course, possible that the gov eminent may ask for the advancement of Mitchell's case, and tho Hiipreunt court may rccguln such a n-qucst from tho attorney general, In n filch event there niuild be action this com ing n Inter. It Is IiiiIhwoIIiIh to a-ver- tain whether It Is Iho desire ot thn gov- eminent to have the case advanced, an the attorney general Is out ot the eity, ami no one else Is aulhorlicd In speak on this matter. It la (Moclbln that President RHevnlt may, through tlo. atturiiny general, suggest the advisabil ity ot having early action, in which event thn Hupremn court Is very apt to set an early day for argument.' MEYER CONFERS WITH CZAR OrTor to Sell Sakhalin as Proposed by Roosevelt. Portsmouth, N. II., Aug. 23.
