Report re ceived by the ministry o( the interior indicate that the precautionary meas ure taken to prevent anti-Jewish dis turbances during Easter week, when the Ignorant are easily aiouaed to a sort of religious frenzy regarding "blood atonement." will result In the avoidance of serious trouble. In fpite of the precautions, however, it 1 considered possible there may tie attempt at rioting, but the authorities may be relied upon to suppress these with a strong hand. The following private telegram was received today from Odessa: "Reports of anti-Jewish disturbances which are common at Easter time cause more alarm than usual this year, be cause of the occurrences last year. The Jews here are nervous but the authorities have confidence in Gover nor Kidnardt. who is in charge of the city, and who is an energetic and bu mane man, as well as in Baron Kaul bars, commander-in-chief of the troops in Houthern Russia. Under the cir enmstances, therefore, anything like i serious disturbance is regarded as im possible. "The official papers have published strongly-woided warnings, and the city is placarded with notices that all who disturb the peace will be severely pun ished."

Oregon City Resident in West Oregon City this week discovered a rich deposit of iron ore in the vicinity of Willamette rails. The ore assays 54 per cent metallic Iron, and the de no it is Iwlieved to te quite extensive, since the same quality ore ha been found in a number of the ravine and side hills surrounding Willamette falls. The land on which the discovery ha lieen made belongs to the Oregon Iron A Htecl company, and members of the corporation are now investigatiang the extent and value of the find. Ixmdon, April 6. Fuither report of sklimlshlna between the Russians and Japanese in the Yalu river legion are reaching London, but no reliable details are given. The Daijy Telegraph's Seoul corres pondent believes that the defenses of Port Arthur have been o weakened that the early capture of the port is to be expected. There is little doubt, the correspondent says, that only a narrow passage is left and that at the first favorable opportunity the Japanese will block the channel. The Russians have taken many 12-inch guns out of their shins to arm the old and new de fenses of Port Arthur. A correspondent of the Morning Post at Yinkow says that the position there is dally becoming stronger. A fort night ago the Japanese could have landed with comparative ease, while now they would experience great dim culty. The corrspondent says he has re ceived trustworhy information that the concentration of troops along the rail way has been so rapid mat iv is now Impossible for the Japanese to carry the war into Manchuria, with any hope of success, and that the most they can do is to isolate Port Arthur and possibly Vladivostok. Washington, April 5. The Lewis snd Clark exposition bill scored a great lictory in the house yesterday, al though the necessary two-third vote to pass the measure wa not secured. On two separate rotes, it was shown that there was a very large majority in the house in favor of an appiopriation. It now remains to be seen whether a majority of the house, desiring to aid laudable undertaking, can be defeated through inabilityto bring the bill be fore the house. , The first vote was on the bill direct, and the second on a proposition to make it a privileged measure, so a to make it possible to call it up at any time. Three members, or the majori ty, of the committee on roles opposed the suspension of the rules on both votes. Borne might take this to mean that it will be impossible to secure a rule bringing the bill to a vote, but as Speaker Cannon is undoubtedly in favor of the appropriation, and General Gros venor, of Ohio, a member of the com mittee on rules, is with him, the prob abilities are that the committee will decide that the majority of the house is entitled to pass this legislation, and therefore a special rule will be granted. The Oregon delegation ia much pleased with the character ol the men who voted with them. The majouty was composed of the leading represent atives on both Hides of the party aisle, prominent Republicans and Democrats both giving voice to the idea that the exposition ought to be encouraged, at least to the extent of government par ticipation. There is another feature of this prop osition which is encouraging to Oregon people. If there is any gieat delay m the matter of securing a special rule to consider the bill, the appropriation will be put on the sundry civil bill by the senate, and it is certain that the house will support it, the votes record ed today being such a guarantee. The sundry civil bill is still in the hands of the senate committee on appropria tions, but before it is reported from that committee, the Oregon men can definitely ascertain whether there is to be a special rule for the consideration of the bill in the house. If the three members of the committee on rules who voted against the appropriation adhere to their position, then the bill will be carried a part of the sundry civil bill. tat reeral OflHeli. ..John H Mitchell .cnaa. w. rnltoa venareennen.. i ..Thom H.
