Perkins, an engineer in the United States reclamation service, geological department, lelt tonight for the north, where he is to start the enormous re clamation works in the Klamath basin, for which the sum of $4,400,000 has been appropriated. This work will probably be the larg est in this part of the country, and the land that is to be reclaimed will be able to support a population of at least 100,000 souls. There is to be little delay in the be ginning of the reclamation project, and Mr. Perkins is going north to look over the ground and commence operations. According to estimates of engineers there is embraced in Klamath basin 6, 505 acres of public lands and 42,825 acres of private lands, making a total of 48,330 acres. The valleys of Langell, Alkali and Poor will be reclaimed, and as this land is said to be among the richest in this part of the country, it will not be a matter of difficulty to get people to settle there. It is only within the past few years that the cattlemen have attempted to cultivate that land. For years it was given over to the pasturing of stock and the only feed that was given the cattle during the winter months was from the tule hay cut on the borders of Tule lake. Some few years ago a company brought water on the land along the northern shores of Tule lake and alfalfa was planted and also orchards were put in. NO BOYCOTT BY CHINESE. Minister Conger Ridicules Talk of Revenge for Exclusion. Leavenworth, Kan., May 26. Edwin H. Conger, ex-minister to China, is visiting his daughter at Fort Leaven worth. Mr. Conger is on his way to his new post in Mexico. "Tne talk of the Chinese retaliating against the ex clusion law by boycotting American made goods is amusing to me," said Mr. Conger today. "Of course you know how American politics are run ; well, the Chinese were politicians be fore America was discovered. They know more tricks than their American brethren. "While much of the agitation has occurred since I left China, there was some prior to that. At these mass meetings of merchants, as they were called, there was a liberal sprinkling of politicians and possibly one Xt more merchants who had been run in. The politicians did most of the talking and then the news was spread broadcast that the merchants would boycott American goods. ' I believe that the truth of the mat ter is that the Chinese merchants have no idea of boycotting American goods. They are in business to make money, and there is a demand for American goods." GREAT BATTLE IS DUE SOON Linievitch Tries to Assume Offensive, . but Oyama is Ready. St. Petersburg, May 26. The news from the front continues to point to the proximity of fighting on a large scale. Lieutenant General Linievitch sent Lieutenant General Rennenkampff's Cossacks on a daring expedition around Field Marshal Oyama s left. Rennen- kampff succeeded in getting to the rear of the Japanese, but he paid dearly, bis Cossacks being badly cut up. Many believe that General Linievitch is trying to take the offensive out of Marshal Oyama's hands. The latter has made all preparations against the possible interruption of his communi cations, and the cessation of tranpsort service from Japanese ports. All rein forcements available and immense quantities of provisions and munitions of war have been landed at Yinkow and Dalny since Vice Admiral Rojestvensky appeared in the straits of Malacca. Newspaper correspondents at the front are prevented by the censor from telegraphing any intelligent view of the situation, and this has always been the precursor of important developments. General Linievitch has taken far great er precautions than did General Kuro patkin to prevent his plans fro leaking out. President Willing to Act. New York, May 26. William F. King,' ex-president of the New York Merchants' association, has received a reply from President Roosevelt to Mr. King's suggestion that a national com mittee be named to investigate the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance society.

Magoon and Wallace on the Zone Colon, May 26. Charles G. Ma goon, governor of the Panama canal zone, and John F. Wallace, chief en gineer of the canal, arrived here today from New York and started for Panama at once.' - RIOTING IS RESUMED Chicago Police Resort to Clubs to Preserve Peace. BUILDING TRADES ARE INVOLVED No Prospect of Immediate Settlement and Mayor and Peace Com- , mittee Give Up Hope. Chicago, May 27. Rioting broke out afresh today in the teamsters strike, and although nobody was seriously hurt, there were a number of vicious fights in the lumber district, during which the police were compelled to use their clubs, and in one instance revolv ers, in order to disperse the mob. The strike Unlay spread in a small degree throughout the building trades. There were a number of instances where woodworkers refused to receive the material delivered by non-union teamsters and walked out. This move in every instance was made by the men as individuals only. No oflicUl action was taken by any of the trades unions looking- to the active sympathetic sup port of the teamsters' strike. Several of the labor leaders in the ranks of the material trades have declared within the last 24 hours that there is no pro pect in their opinion, of any complete tie up of the building trades by a strike of the men. There is no movement at present looking towards a settlement of the strike. Mayor Dunne today for the first time since the commencement of the teamsters' strike declared that he knew of no contemplated plans for peace. The mayor talked as though he bad abandoned hopes of a settlement. Dever, chairman of the City Council Peace committee, appointed a week ago, said tonight that he had practically ceased work, as the committees could see no avenue in the controversy look ing toward an adjustment of the differ ences between the teamsters andj the employers.

Regarding the work of sanitation, the governor said that no effort and ho expense would be spared to make the zone healthy. He said that the number of judges in the tone will be increased, that a jurist of Fana ma will be appointed a member of the Supreme court and numerous schools will be opened. LEWISTON GOES LAND MAD.
