The general staff account of the operations on the Yalu river Saturday is as follows: "At 4 o'clock this morning Japanese field batteries and 47 guns opened a terrific fire on our position at Turen- chen and our troops near Potientensky. "The overwhelming superiority of the Japanese in artillery and the heavy losses their fire inflicted on our troops occupying these positions made it clear to General Sassuhtch that it was im possible to hold Turenchen. Conse quently t'.ie troops were ordered to re tire from Turenchen while still holding tne rotientensky road. "when General Sassulitch dis patched his telegram the Russian troops were retiring in good order from turenchen and Schakhedzky to their second position, and the battle was continuing at Potientensky and Tchin- gu." WILL TRY TO KEEP FLEET IN. Togo Wants No More Raids Made by the Vladivostok Squadron. St. Petersburg, May 3. A dispatch received here from Viceroy Alexieff says: "The continued presence of the Jap anese squadron off Vladivostok has con vinced the authorities that Vice Ad miral logo has taken to heart the sharp lesson taught him through his failure to consider the possibilities of mischief by the formidable Ruswian division at that port, and is now seeking means to stop furthei raiding operations in the Sea of Japan. It is evident that as soon as the Japanese were informed of the operation of the Russians inCoresn waters, the government instructed Vice Admiral Togo to dispatch a strong squadron and send it to Vladivostok to cut on the Russian ships and confine tbem to the harbor so they could do no further damage. The former pur pose failed, owing to the celerity of Rear Admiral Yezsan's movements." While there is no expectation that Kear Admiral Yezsan will risk an en counter with a superior force by put ting to sea, even on a raiding expedi tion, it is said he is a bold, careful commander and will spring surprises upon the Japanese.

The loss is this afternoon estimated at (900,000. How much of that amount will fall as a loss is not yet known, but it is asserted that the merchants were fairly well insured, and that as a consequence the insurance companies will lose heavily. Fernie is a town of 3,500 to 4,000 inhabitants, the population being to a large extent composed of coal minert and those dependent upon that indus try. The head offices of the Crow's 'Nest Pass coal company are located at Fernie, and the company is a heavy loser. FldHT FOR FAIR QOLD ENDS.

On a yea and nay vote. the report was adopted, 138 to 129. Uverstreet (Ind) called up the con ference report on the postolllce appro priation bill and explained it was a complete agreement of the conferees. The report, said Moon (Tenn.) the ranking minority member ot the post office committee, was in the spirit ot compromise. He declared, however, that the appropi iatiou of (45.000 to the Oceanic Steamship company for car rying the mail to Tahiti was a pure gift, because of the fact that it cost the government (0.50 for every pound of mail sairied to that island. The reso lution was adopted, The house then resumed considera tion of the bill requiring the employ ment of vessels of the United States for the transportation of supplies for the army and navy.

The amend menta of Lucking were disagreed to, and a test vote showing a majority for the bill, the Democrats forced a roll call on the adoption of the previous question. The previous question was ordered by a strict party vote and the house passed the shipping bill 123 to 98. WILL EX Afll NB ALASKA FORESTS. Expert Is to Ascertain Whether Reserve Should Be Created.

Later in the season he will proceed to Norton sound, where, on August 5, last, the secretary of the in terior temporarily withdrew about 6, 000 square miles, with a view to creat ing a permanent reserve.

Four Million Dollars Are Now Drawing Interest at 6 Per Cent. Salem The state 'of Oregon now has (4,000,000 ot school funds drawing in terest at an average ot 6 per cent. This Is the largest sum the state ever had rawing interest and it represents the limit ot the Irreducible school fund, for number of years hence, at leaBt. The ' revenue from this fund will be about i ztv,uuu per year, ami irom mis me expenses of running the state land de- partmnet must lie paid, amounting to less than (10,000 per year, leaving bout (230,000 to be distributed an nually among the counties ot the state upon the basis of school population. The apportionment this year will lie reduced somewhat by reason of repay ments ot interest received from pur chasers ot land where the title failed. Ot this total of (4,000,000, about (3,500,000 Is in the form of loans and 500,000 is in the form of deterred payments on sales ot school land. Of the loans, (3,250,000 is out on real es-1 tate mortgage securities paying 6 per cent Interest, The other (250,000 is invested in school district bonds bear- ng 6 per cent interest. The (500,000 due on sales ot land is drawing interest at 6 and 7 pur cent. An average rate ot interest on the whole (4,000,000, is per cent. Less than a year ago the state treas ury contained (725,000 of idle money in the school fund. There was then little prospect that this money would soon be put out at interest, but several circumstances have combined to create a demand for the school funds. It will be the policy of the board to favor small borrowers, as the money will benefit more people in this way. In all the loans that have been made the board has been careful to accent only gilt edge security, and it is believ ed there is not a loan outstanding that would show a loss even it hard times should bring about a decline in real estate values.

Experiment With Small Fry In the Big Astoria Reservoir. Astoria During September, 1002, Fish Warden Van Dusen secured number of small salmon that had been kept in fresh water for several months and placed them in the Astoria reser voir. Kecently the reservoir was emptied for the purpose of cleaning it and the fish were taken out by Deputy WeliBter. The largest of the fish was only abcut 15 inches in length, show ing conclusively that the salmon need salt water to develop them. The effect ot this experiment will be to overthrow the theory that the salmon try should be kept in fresh water as long as possible before being turned out and permitted to make their way to sea Planting of Sugar Beets. La Giande F. 8. Brartwell, field superintendent ot the La Grande sugar factory, staets that the present pros pects tor a Urge acreage of sugar beets are very flattering. The total beet acreage last year was 1,800 acres, and this year 2,800 acres are assured. The company itself is seeding 1,800 acres this year. Experiments are also being made in several sections of Umatil county in the matter ol growing sugar beets. Seeding is in progress in every section of the county, although foot hill ranchers are a little behind. School Loans Approved. BaUm Th state land board has ap proved applications for loans from the school fund to th amount of (100,000. These are the applications thst were pending when it wss announced recent ly that the idle surplus will soon bo placed out at interest. Even when the silt plus hss been lent, there will be funds available from time to time as those who have borrowed in the past make repay ment or purchasers of school lsnd pay their annual installments. Canner to Use Oil for Fuel. Astoria Several of the canneri and cold storsg men have decided to nse crude oil in place of wood tor fuel in their plants. Contracts hsve been mad (oi oil at 00 cent a barrel, with the guarantee that 2 barrels of oil will equal a cord ot the best fir wood. As the latter now sells at (4.25 per cord, th change will effect quite a sav ing in the fuel bills. OKliOON CREAM STANDS TEST. Condensed Product Adapted to Oriental and Alaskan Use. lllllsboro The directors of the Ore gon Condensed Milk company, ot thin city, and who manufacture the Oregon Grape brand of evaporated cream, have received word from the Keny-ciar company, exporters of evaporated cieams to Alaska and the Urltmt, that .the recent test by the Holman refriger ator company, subjecting this cream to extreme heat and cold, has been vciy successful. The cream, in cans, was subjected to a heat ranging from 118 to 160 degrees, and several cans were frown in a solid block ot Ice for 10 days. After the tests were made the cans were opened and there was no separation whatever, proving that the Oregon Grape cream is excellent for Alaska and Oriental shipment. This is naturally ol great interest to shippers, as both these fields draw heavily from Oregon for export cream. The Hillsboro factory is the largest west ot the Mississippi river, and wan the first established in Oregon, and this recent test establishes the manu facture ot evaporated cream as a suc cessful and permanent enterprise. - Warehouses are Nearly Empty, Pendleton About a quarter ot a mil lion biiHhels of last year's wheat crop in this county remains unsold, and nearly all the sold portion has been moved, leaving the Umatilla ware houses cempaiatively empty, Tha wheat still held is principally in small lots, 10,000 to 15,000 bushels being about the largest.

Scott and Secretary Henry Reed, is required by a provi sion of the appropriation bill, and must be presented to the treasury department before the (450,000 covered by the gov ernment's appropriation mar be touched. Dlvltldn of Wade Property. Pendleton A report of the ssle of C. B. Wade's portion of the Wado blooded herd has been filed with Ref eree In Bankruptcy Fitzgerald. Th proeeeds of Wsde's interest amount to (3.912.53.
