BACKBONE IS STIFF.
Czar Saya Ha Hat Yielded All Ha
Will Yield.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 25. With re
gard to a dispatch that haa been re
ceived here saying Mr. Witte was
awaiting instructions, the Foreign
office says It is daily in constant com
munication with Mt. Witte, and that
he will be fully able to go ahead on
Saturday. The latest developments
clearly indicate that the Associated
Press dispatches sent declaring that
Russia will never consent to the 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 the expenses of the war.
The authoritative statement made to
the Associated Preen at Portsmouth,
which is in the same tenor, was met
last evening by a declaration from the
official spokesman ot the Foreign office,
which was made almost with the force
ot a formal communication, that under
no circumstances and under no disguis
es would the principle ot indemnity be
admitted, and this decision ia accepted
by the Russian public as final. It was
declared at the Foreign office also that
Russia s sincere desire for peace was
manifested in the spirit of concession
shown by the Russian mission on the
other disputed points, and that, if
Japan was willing to waive this de
mand, which was consistent with
neither the honor nor the dignity of
buseia, there would be no trouble iu
arranging peace, Japan's insistence on
indemnity being the only barrier to the
termination of the war.
MAKE BIQ CUT.
One and One-Tenth Fare for Round
Trip to Exposition.
Portland, Aug. 25. An unusually
and exceptionally low passenger rate in
the 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 and one-tenth of the usual fare.
This reduction is 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 the announcement issued by
the Harriman lines, which include Hie
O. R. & N. and the Southern Pacific,
and the Northern Pacific, beginning on
September 1, 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 1 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 the expense of a
trip as it stands at present.
UNDER ANOTHER CHARGE.
Burton Accused of Receiving Feet for
Pressing Indian Claims.
Washington, Aug. 25. The Post to
day says that officials of the depart
ments of Justice and the Interior who
have been investigating the Chickasaw
school 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 these claims
before the government, whi e holding
the poeition of senator, in contraven
tion of law. The Post adds:
"In all, 26 Chickasaw warrants, ag
gregating $14,000, have been paid to
eentor Uurton, or his brother, Beth
Rurton, with whom he is alleged to
have formed a partnership since
March, 1901, when Senator Burton
took the oath of office.
"Six of the Chickasaw warrants is
sued in October, 1901, and aggregating
$5,500, were paid directly to J. R.
Burton. This was seven months after

office. Twenty warrants, aggregating
$9,000, were subsequently made out in
favor of Seth Burton."

CHEU FOOK BIG MAN.
An Insult to His Children Caused the
Chinese Boycott.
Seattle Wash., Aug. 26. 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 the United States, today
made the 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-
su, Che-Kieng and An-Kwei. Shang
hai is one of his cities, and it was there
the boycott bean. His children were
returning by way of America from Eng
land, where they had been in school.
They lacked passports such as the priv
ileged class carries from China, but
tbere was an abundance of proof that
they were the viceroy's children and as
sucb 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 China.
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
fight against American goods, and to
raise the cry for a new treaty."
Workmen Kept Danger Secret.
Albany, N. Y., Aug. 26. The coro
ner s examination of workmen who
were digging a cellar under the Meyers
department store at the time of its col
lapse recently, shows that the 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 wag crumbling
from two of the big piers in the cellar,
the whole force was put to work to
brace the pier. The men continued the
work until the last minute when they
us tied out.
Bennington In Drydock.
Valejo, Cal., Aug. 26. The Ben
nington went into the drydock yester

sent a frightful spectacle, only the de
bris having been removed. The gun
boat will be taken out of the drydock
today, and as no authority has been
