ing here on the steamer Petrarch from

menced to evacuate. Some guns had

GREAT GLOOM IN RUSSIA.
Probable Movement of the Enemy a
Source of Anxiety.
St. Petersburg, May 10. Two offic
ial dispatches, calculated to increase
the depression existing among all cir
cles in Russia were given out last night.
From the point of view of the progress
of the campaign, the most important is
that regarding the capture by the Jap
anese without opposition of Feng Wang
Cheng, on May 6. The second gives
details concerning the kihed, wounded
and missing among the troops under
the command of Lieutenant General
Zassalitch, as the result of the fighting
on the Yalu. the number of which
totals 2,397 officers and men.
Now that General Kuroki is estab
lished at Feng Wang Cheng, the Rus
sians are puzzled as to what move he
will make next. The fact that he sent
two companies to Daliandiapu Tso, ten
miles northeast of Feng Wang Cheng,
might indicate his purpose to proceed
along this road to Ting Chang Gien, 90
miles north from where he would
march due west to Liao Yang. This
would permit an effective flanking
movement, but it is not considered
probable, the likelihood being that he
will move along the road by which the
Russians retreated toward Liao Yang.
TO PICK 'OS SITE.
National Board Will Send One of Its
Members to Portland.
World's Fair Grounds, St. Louis,
May 10. The members of the govern
ment board of the lewis and Clark ex
position left for WTashington today to
report upon the site offered for the gov
ernment buildings by Henry E. Dosch,
commissioner general of the Lewis and
Clark centennial to the Louisiana
Purchase exposition. All but two
members of the government board were
present, and organized their board with
Theodoie A. Bingham, assistant secre
tary of agriculture, as chairman, and
Major William C. Fox, of the bureau
of American republics, as secretary.
Mr. Dosch offered the government
either the peninsula in Guild's lake or
a site on the higher ground overlook
ing the lake witli the rest of the Duild-
ings. The members ol trie board are
in favor of the peninsula site, and will
detail one of the members as a repre
sentative to visit Portland and report
on both sites. The government build'
ing, Alaskan building, Philippine
building, Hawaiian building, forestry
building and other insular buildings
will be located at the same time. Mr.
Dosch, who served as commissioner
general for Oregon at the Chicago, Oma
ha, Buffalo, Charleston, and Osaka,
Japan, expositions, is director of ex
hibits for the Lewis and Clark expo
sition, is assured that about two-thirds
of the exhibits in the government build
ing here will be taken to Portland and
Mr. Dosch will be requested by the
board to select what exhibits he would
prefer. The Portland building, Mr.
Dosch says, will be ready November 1,
and exhibits from St. Louis removed
direct.

government, on account of the Panama
canal purchase. This warrant is many
times larger than any warrant ever be
fore issued by this government. The

gle government warrant was for $7,
200,000, paid to Russia in 1868 on ac
count of the purchase of the Alaskan
territory.

JAPS SUCCESSFUL
HAVE CUT THE LINE OF C0MMUNI
CATION WITH PORT ARTHUR.
Fort Has 15,000 Men but Russians Con
fldent They Can Hold Otf Array ol
100,000 Japanese Force Numbers
30,000 Viceroy Alexieff and Stall
Had Narrow Escape from Capture.
St. Petersburg, May 9. It was offic
ially announced tonight that the Jap
anese have succeeded in gaining a foot
hold on the Liao Tung peninsula, land
ing forces at Pitsewo and at Cape Ter
minal, 10 nines distant, and have cut
the line of communication with Port
Arthur. Not onlv that hut A' itmv
Alexieff, Grand Duke Boris and ninny
oi me iinjuer Russian on cers in Man.
churia narrowly escaped capture, or at
least being penned up in the beleagu
ered town.
The news that the Japanese had ar
ived near Pitsewo was transmitted tn
Port Arthur by a Russian signal corps
officer, who sighted the Japanese trans
port neet early on Thursday. He im
mediately notified the viceroy, and
preparations were at once made for the
quitting of Port Arthur by Admiral
Alexieff. Grand Duke Boria ami thn
viceroy's staff, and in a baggage car
were placed all important documents
ot tne Alanchunan administration,
which had been stored at army head
quarteis in Port Arthur.
The last word received from Port
Arthur came from tlm rr.mmun.lu.it
Lieutenant General Stoesel, who Btated
mere was great" confidence among his
men, and he did not believe the Japan
ese could capture the fortress, even
though they landed an army of 100,
000. The garrison is equipped with a
sufficient supply of arms and ammu
nition and enough canned provisions to
last them for 18 months.
The Japanese army which has under
taken the investment of Port Arthur
numbers fully 30,000 men. General
Stossel has 10,000 to 15,000 men,
among them being some of the best
fighters in the Russian army.
It is admitted it will be necessary to
call out the entire Russian army re
serve, but this does not mean that they
are destined for Manchurian service.
They will be mobilized so that such
troops as are needed by General Kouro
patkin can be sent to him, and the re
mainder will be held for service for
which they may be needed. The work
of rushinu all of the men to th frnnt
will be much easier from now on. as
the ferry service across Lake Baikal
has been resumed.
STILL FEARS CHINA.
Russia Realizes Danger of Uprising Since
tbe Yalu Defeat.
6t Petersburg, May 9. The effect of
me disaster to itussian arms on tbe
Yalu upon the - Chinesa ia hoino
watched with keen interest and consid
erable apprehension. The Rusisan gov
ernment appears to be satisfied with
the situation for the moment, and Paul
Lessar, tne Russian minister at l'ekin,
is making daily reports to the foreign
office. The report received from the
minister today contained nothing dis
quieting. The l'ekin government, according to
Rusisan reports, seems to be acting in
perfect good faith, and insists it is in
tent upon preserving neutrality. It is
turning a deaf ear to the appeals of
anti-Rusisan leaders, who want China
to throw in her lot with Japan, and is
doing all possible to suppress anti-foreign
agitation among the people. '
Nevertheless, the Russian authorities
regard China as a powder magazine.
They realize the danger and necessity
for constant pressure. The danger of
an anti-foreign movement throughout
the Chinese empire exists, not only
for Russia, but for all the powers, and
Russia has at least three times since
the outbreak of the war addressed the
powers on the subject, the last time be
ing less than ten days ago. The
answers received uniformly show a full
appreciation of the need of exercising
a restraining influence on Pekin. and
all the powers are co-operating to this
enu.
Liberty Bell Will Be Sent.
Philadelphia, May 9. The Liberty
Bell will be taken to St. Louis. Both
branches of the city council today
passed a resolution appointing a special
joint committee of 24 to escort the rev
olutionary relic, and appropriating
$15,000 to defray the expenses. The
start will be made early in June, but
before the old bell is placed in the
Pennsylvania building it is proposed to
pass through the principal cities in the
states and territories comprising the
Louisiana purchase. At the fair Phil
adelphia police will guard it.
Coal Strike Is to End.
Pubelo, May 9. From a telegram
received from H. M. Simpson, secre
tary of the Victor Fuel company, in
this city, it is inferred that tbe coal
strike in the southern coal fields is de
clared off. No details are given, but it
is understood that the reason for de
claring the strike at an end is the fail
ure of the national organization ot the
United Mineworkers to further support
the strikers. No communication has
been received from headquarters. .
Crops Are Destroyed.
Wlchlla, Kan., May 9. A telephone
message to the Eagle from Camden,
Okla., states that a tornado started at
Helena and passed through Timber
lake, extending to Alva, It cnt a
swath six miles long and one and a half
miles wide, destroying crops and some
buildings at Timberlake. Damaging
hail fell in that lection, but no lives
were lost.
TOOO IS OFF PORT ARTHUR.
He Will Remain There Till Troops Land
at Another Point.
St. Petersburg May 7. With Vice
Admiral Togo hovering in the immedi
ate vicinity of Port Arthur and trans
ports loaded with troops lying at Pitse
wo, northeast of that stronghold, Rus
sia has braced herself for impending
conflicts with the foe in which she will
again play a defensive role, this time,
it is Imped, with better success, and
therefore with less sacrifice of life, thau
in the engagements on the Yalu.
The war commission sat until 2
o'clock this morning, and at the close
of the session it was announced there
was nothing to communicate to the
public. It is known, however, that
the emperor has been informed of the
presence of the Japanese fleet off the
Laio Yang Shan promontory, and the
appearance of transports at Pitsewo.
The fact that the two events occurred
simultaneously may have significance.
If a landing should take place at Pitse
wo it is anticipated that Admira Togo's
hatteship squadron will bombard Port
Arthur in order to prevent the garrison
from sending reinforcements by rail
road to the troops opposing the Japan
ese there.
Neither the admiralty nor the war
office believes that a disembarkation of
the Japanese can be prevented, as the
guns of the Japanese cruisers could
command the point of lauding, hut
after the Japanese are ashore, the Rus
sians will strike and officers say, will
strike hard. What force they will be
able to bring up to resist the invaders
cannot be stated definitely, the
strength of the army on the peninsula
of Liao Tung having been kept a strict
secret.
It is expected the railroad will play
an important part in the effort of the
Russians to push the Japanese into the
sea, as it will permit the rapid transit
of troops.
NOW GETS LANDS.
Hitchcock Renders Decision In Favor
the State ol Oregon.
of
Washington, May 7. The trouble
which the state of Oregon has been
having with its Belection of indemnity
lands in lieu of school lands embraced
within the dsiputed portion of Klamath
Indian reservation has been satisfactor
ily adjusted for all time by the
Mitchell amendment to the Indian ap
propriation bill, which specifically
gives the state the right to make in
demnity selections on such school lands
as base. Following bis action of yes
terday, Secretary Hitchcock today re
turned to the general land office four
Oregon school indemnity lists which
had heretofore been disapproved be
cause the state was unable to establish
its right to use the school lands in
Klamath reservation as bam. These
lints were before the secretary on ap
peal. Today he directed Commissioner
Richards to reconsider the cases in the
light of the Mitchell amendment,
which is equivalent to ordering an ap
proval of the lists. These lists are
No. 104, in Burns district, involving
279 acres; Nos. 107 and 181, in Lake
view district, involving 8,495 acres,
and 400 acres respectively, and No.
20 1 , in The Dalles district, involving
6,517 acres. Other lintn of a similar
character that are pending, or may
hereafter be appealed, will be similarly
disposed of.
flAY LOSB ALL THEIR STORES.
Russians Find the Roada on tbe Yalu
Against Them.
Berlin, May 7. The Russian mili
tary authorities are in a state of ex
treme anxiety regarding the chance of
saving the baggage of the Yalu army.
The roads are so bad that wheeled
transport is only able to move five miles
a day and it is feared that the Japanese
will capture all the stores accumulated
at Feng Wang Chen. Dispatches re
ceived yesterday afternoon and from
Niu Chwang Wednesday, report no
change in the situation and so far no
confirmation has reached London of
the Japanese preparations for landing
on the coasts of the Liao Tung penin
sula. Great Strike Imminent.
Chicago, May 7. Fifty thousand
workmen employed in the building
trades in this city will be thrown out
of employment within 48 hours, ac
cording to the statenent of the Associ
ation of Manufacturers and Builders,
unless a speedy settlement is reached
between the stone, lime and cement
workers and their employers. Nearly
1,000 teamsters hauling building and
street work material were locked out
today because the union had called a
strike in two cases, and work on a num
ber of buildings has been stopped.
New Armr Appliance a Success.
Victoria, B. C, May 7. A gunnery
expert from Halifax, N. R., is here
testing the lie w fire controlling device
lately introduced in the Birtish army.
He put Battery 68, Royal Garrison ar
tillery, the champion shooting battery
of the British army, winners last year
of the fisrt prize, through a series of
tests. The gunners in one minute,
with the 12-potinder breech loading
field gun, fired 26 rounds and struck
the target 20 times.
Nonunion Men Installed.
Topeka, Kan., May 6. Santa Fe
officials a nr. ounce this morning a re
sumption ot shop work al' along the
Una from Topeka to the Pacific coast.
They state that in most cases the shops
ara running with a full complement of
men. In many places anion machin
ists have gone out, but their positions
will all be filled by the close of the
week, say the officials.
HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
FROST BLIGHTS PRUNES.
Change of Weather Catches Fruit la
Blossom- Pears Also Alfected.
Allmny The prune crop of Linn
county will lie almost an entire failure
this year, according to an orchardtst
who was in Albany a few days ago.
The frost that visited the valley came
at a very inopportune time for the
orchards. The cold weather that held
on until an almost unprecedented late
date for this valley had kept the fruit
back until orchardists were confident of
escaping the spring frosts that usually
catch the fruit in March, it at all.
But the warm weather during the first
week of April brought the fruit out
rapidly, and when the cold rains came
again, fiuit of every description was iu
full blossom. The heavy frost found
the fruit in full blossom and did much
damage.'
The prune trees were well loaded
with blossoms, which had liegun to fall
A close examination of the trees re
veals now that althongh the embryo
fiuit within the blossom is green, yet
the fruitstem leading from the limb ot
the tree is turning yellow. This is
said to mean that the fruit will drop
from the tree just as soon as the prune
becomes large enough to add weight to
the Btem. The dead stem can not bear
up any load. The statement of the
prunergower is that at least three
fourths ot the prunes are affected in
this way, and that orchardsits will do
well to save one-fourth ot this vear's
prune crop. As prunes constitute the
greater part of the fruit crop of the
county, the loss will fall heavily upon
fruitgrowers in this part of the valley.
Pears are affected in the same way,
The young pears were just beginning to
form when the frost came and were hit
just as hard as the prunes.
Apples are looking well at this time
They were not affected so seriously by
the late frost, and the trees are now
covered with blossoms that look healthy
and give every promise of developing
into fruit of Oregon's usual excellent
varieties. This crop will, however,
depend largely on the weather during
the next two weeks. Another frost
such as that of recent date would in
jure the apple crop.
GOLD IN GREAT LUMPS.
Rich Pocket Struck In the Bonanza
Mine, la Eastern Oregon.
Baker City A wonderfully rich
strike is said to havi been nude in the
Bonanza mine in the Greenhorn dis
trict recently. A pocket ot very rich
ore was opened upon the 1200-foot
level, out of which less than five tons
ot ore were taken which is reported to
have yielded $4,000 in gold bullion.
It is against the policy of the mine-
owners to give out any facts alnnit rkh
strikes of this nature, and it is only in
a roundabout way that anvthuig can lie
learned about the opening of the
pocket.
It is unusual to find such rich pock
ets so far below the surface. The old
Virtue mine, near this city, has the
liest record for rich pockets, hut they
have all been found near the surface
and utisally by professional pocket
hunters, who make it their business to
search for these phenomenally rich de
posits. It has always lieen the theory of ex
perts that while rich ore might lie en
countered in the depths, that there
never would be any "pockets," as the
term is usually understood, found lie
low 600 feet from the surface.
The Bonanza has lieen yielding stead
ily for several months, since the new
three compartment shaft was sunk to
the 800-foot level, aliout a year ago.
Thts strike will encourage deep mining
in this part of the state, something that
has not been attempted until within
the past two yean.
May Fly to St. Louis.
La Grande Union county is to have
an entry in the flying machine contest
which will take place at tbe St. Louis
exposition. For several years Grant
Key, who lives on Cricket Flat, near
Elgin, has lieen experimenting along
the lines of aerial navigation, and now
firmly believes he has devsied a plan
a hereby a journey through the clouds
will be easily made with his apparatus.
He has ordered the engines and is
erecting a large shed on a flat near his
home, where he will assemble the vari
ous parts of the machine.
Ellis Loses tbe Meteorite.
Oregon City The jury in the replev
in suit of the Oregon Iron A Steel com
pany vs. Ellis Hughes, tor possession
of a meteorite discovered near this city
last winter, found for the plalnttiff.
The property in dispute is a metallic
mass weighing about ten tons, and is
the largest meteorite ever found in the
United States, while there is but one
other In the world of larger size,
is the second case ot the kind
been tried in the United States.

Mora Butter From Tillamook.
Tillamook Tillamook county's out
put ot dairy products will lie much
larger this year than formerly, owing
to the quantity of excellent grass feed
now on the grazing lands. The late
season delayed the grass growth for a
time, but the herds and especially the
milch cows are now in good condition.
