An allotment of $15,000 has been made for dredging the Colubmia ana Willamette below Portland. An explosion at the Pinole, Cal., powder works killed three men and des troyed $20,000 worth of property. An explosion wrecked the great Pe oria, lit., distillery and ten men are burned in the ruina. Fire broke out and the loss is placed at $1,000,000. The Kansas flood already covers large area and many streams are still rising. . The Russian forces above Kinchou realize they can do little and are likely to retreat. Nine people were killed and many injured in a collision ol trains near Martin City, Mo. Charles S. Deneen has been nomi nated for governor of Illinois by the Re publicans on the 79th ballot. One-third of New York's street sweepers contract consumption, pre sumably from germs in the streets. Senator Burton, of Kansas, has filed an appeal. The senator indicted for bribery thinks the lower court erred. Crook cotsntT, Oregon, towns are booming with the arrival of many would be settlers who are attracted by the irrigation projects. Russia has no ground for supposing Geimany is in a position to help her either diplomatically or materially, as no treaties exist between the two countries. The ciar and a council of war have decided to advise Kuropatkin to en deavor to relieve Port Arthur. Russia has dispatched the first of eight submarine boats to Vladivostok by rail. The Japanese are landing a second army at Takushan. The president has ordered as attorney to Alaska to investigate the offices of governor and judges. Superintendent Potter, of the Che mawa Indian school, may be trans ferred as a result of the charges against him. Large forces of Chinese bandits are collecting in the hills northeast of the Liao river and are preparing to cut the railway north of Mukden. Transports loaded with troops con tinue to leave Western Japanese ports daily for the theater of war. A large proportion of those dispatched during the past week were to reinforce General Oku. A new strike of what promises to be rich ore has been made about 13 miles from Cripple Creek. Over a thousand claims have already been staked out, The Russians cannot hold the second line of defenses and must fall back to Port Arthur. An Alaskan hermit has died declar ing he is Tascott, the long sought Chi cago murderer. The Washington, D C, Post advo cates John Barrett, of Oregon, for the Republican candidate for vice presi dent. France has been asked and has agreed to assist in securing the release of the American held by the Moroccan bandit. A severe battle is reported to have occurred six miles from Port Arthur. The Moroccan bandit demands a cash ransom of $70,000 and subordinate kingdom with the right to levy taxes on travelers for the release of his cap tives. A Tokio dispatch says that General Kuroki has completely defeated General Kuropatkin a forces near Saimatze All the positions east of Han Chang have been abandoned. Several guns have been taken and the whole force of Cossacks captured. A friend of General Kuropatkin says that the general will not make move until July when ne will have the over whelming masses needed. Attack on Port Arthui is expected to begin about Jane 20. General Kuroki Is harassing Kuro patkin so as to give Oku a clear road to Port Arthur. Mayor McLean, committed suicide, act is known. of Baltimore No cause for hag tbe EXPECT BATTLE AT LUO YANQ. Russians Believe Important Develop meats are Impending. St. Petersburg, June 7. The gen eral public at the Russian capital Is Imbued with the belief that Import ant military developments are im pending at Liao Tang, and that a gen eral engagement between Kuropat kln's and general Kurokt'a armies Is Imminent Although the authorities are doing nothing to discourage the Idea, the best-Informed circles at the war office do not anticipate a decis ive battle Immediately, unless brought on more or less unexpectedly by an accidental collision between strong columns, as often happens in war fare. The war office's Information does not Indicate that the Japanese have concentrated for an attack on Gener al Kuropatkin, and it Is expected they are not yet ready to assume the of fensive. Nevertheless, it Is known that differences of opinion exist at the Russtan headquarters as to the ad visability of taking the aggressive, and it Is believed this matter was the subject of a conference between the commander-in-chief and the Viceroy at Mukden Tuesday. Kuropatkin's position is becoming very formidable, both In the number and character of troops at his dispos al. The condition of some of the Si berian reserves when called to the colors was not -satisfactory and caused Kuropatkin misgivings, but It Is now reported that they have been drilled Into a state of efficiency More important, however, are the large reinforcements of field artil lery, in which the Russian army was especially weak. These have now ar rived. Nevertheless. Kuropatkin does not consider himself strong enough to risk the possibility of a defeat which might be Irretrievable and re sult In disaster or at least years of campaigning. His friends praise his steady conservatism, caution and re fusal to listen to the counsel of the hotspurs. RUSSIA CANNOT BELIBVB IT. Japaa Held to Have No Right to Offer Territory to China. St. Petersburg. June 7. The Rus slan authorities have not been ad vised by M. Lessar, the Russian Mls lster to China, of the proposition al leged to have been made to China by Japan to hand over the towns captur ed by the Japanese in Manchuria to the Chinese civil administration, or even of the refusal of the Pekln gov ernment to assign the administration to a neutral power. The foreign office cannot believe such a proposition was submitted, pointing out that while the war Is In progress the fact that certain terri tory is occupied by the Japanese does not necessarily mean it will remain in their hands. As a belligerent, Russia would, of course, refuse to recognize an agreement which might hamper her military operations, and Bhe does not believe the powers would consid er even for a moment a proposition of this character. At the conclusion of the war, if Japan is victorious, it Is considered that she herself Is under pledge not to undertake, even temporarily, the civil administration of Manchuria. MOHAMMEDIANS ARB EXCITED. Presence of American Ship. However, U Having Salutary Influence. Washington. June 7. Admiral unaawicK today cabled to the navy department that the presence of the American fleet at Tangier has had a salutary influence, but the commun ity is in a state of great religious ex citement. Admiral Chadwlck's telegram Is un derstood to be in reply to certain crit icisms, mainly from British sources upon the wisdom of sending American warships to Morocco at this Juncture, The religious excitement mention ed as prevailing among the Moors Is believed here to be incident primarily to one of the annual Mohammedan pilgrimages occurring at this season undoubtedly, however, the presence of the seven American warships at Tangier, with a promise of rein forcement If necessary by another squadron, is Tegarded as threatening Moorish Integrity and the Moham medan religion, and has contributed to the excitement. Relief for Fort. Paris, June 7. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Matin says he learns from a trustworthy source that the advance guard of 14,000 men under General Stakelberg. sent by General Kuropatkin to the relief of Port Arthur, has already reached the entrance to the Liao Tung Peninsula and the bulk of the army Is following. The correspondent of the Matin at Nlu Chwang confirms this, stating that Important movements of Rns slan troops are proceeding to the southward of Tachlchao toward Kal Ping. Predicts Its Rarlv Fall. Paris, June 7. The leading mill tary authorities here expect the early ran or rort Arthur, and view this as a most serious, If not an Irreparable, blow to Russia, the present condition or Port Arthur being compared to (hat of Metz and Sedan during the rrarco-PrussIan war. It Is 'pointed out that General Kuropatkin Is mak Ing the same fntal mistake In regard to Port Arthur's military ability to resist that the French made in con nection with Met. Japanese Not Paying for Supplies. Liao Yang, June 7. Merchants from the south complain that the Jap anese are not paying for the supplies taken by them as they did In the ear lier stages of the war, and assert they are even ill-treated and Insulted when they ask for money. Two Chinese bandits were executed here today. JAPS CLOSING IN FORWARD MOVEMENT AGAINST PORT ARTHUR BEGUN IN EARNEST. Heights Reported Take Artillery Dorol- aatea Work of Rusalaa Stronghold Outer Fortifications Lost squadron Irks Sortie From Port, but Admiral Togo Sooa Drives Them Back. Rome, June 6. Reports from Tokio indicate that the Japanese have already begun the preliminary assaults upon Port Arthur. The Giornale d'ltaila prints a dispatch from its Tokio corres pondent saying the Japanese have occu pied the first line of the outer for till cations at Port Arthur. In this event, the second line of the outer fortifica tions must have been taken earlier, The correspondent adds that the Rus sians offered but the feeblest resistance to the assault. The Tokio correspondent of the Agenzia Liberal, after confirming the Italia's report, says four Japanese di visions occupied Kwan Tung heights yesterday and placed heavy batteries of artillery thereon, thus dominating the works of Port Arthur. The Russian squadron, says the cor respondent, tried a sortie from the port against the Japanese, but the Japanese fleet soon forced it to return to the harbor. DISCONTENT 15 QROWINQ. Rnaalan Trade and Finance are Suffer Ing fJreatly as Keeult ol War. Pails, June 6. Private intelligence received in Paris at several different quarters gives gloomy accounts of the growing feeling of discontent and anx iety in Russia over the silence that prevails in officialdom as to the events of the war. Following so closely upon the exuberant reports received and dis seminated eagerly during the early part of the campaign, the utter failure of the government to give out any state ments either of victory or defeat has proven disquieting in the extreme, and has aroused popular misgivings to an almost dangerous pitch. It is, of course, admitted that trade and finance invariably suffer in time of war, but in a country like Russia, where it ir doubtful if either are founded upon a substantial basis capa ble of resisting the shocks of pro longed campaign, it is comprehensible that the most widespread apprehension should exist. TURKEY'S TURN NEXT. President Win See That Claims are Set tled When Morocco Alfalr Is Through. Washington, June 6. Administra tion officials have permitted it to be come known that when settlement has been made with the Moroccan bandits, the United States will turn her attention to Turkey. The presi dent has announced that when Ameri can warships were relieved from Bei rut, at the urgent request of the sultan, that the fleet would return in great force if certain claims of long standing were not aranged and tbe president is now planning to make good his declara tion. These claims aggregate more than $250,000. They include more than $200,000 for missionary claims and $40,000 for tbe murder of Lent, an American bicyclist. The sultan will also be asked to make restitution for the ransom paid the brigands who cap tured Miss Ellen btone. Fires Torpedoes Under Water. Newport, R. I., June 6. The second day's government trial of the subma rine boat Fulton today was devoted to the firing of torpedoes while submerged and just afloat. Three toipedoes were taken on board at the torpedo station, and the Fulton, accompanied by the gunboat Hist and tbe tug Powhatan, with the trial board on the Hist, went np the bay as far as Gould island. Two torpedoes were fired while the Ful ton was entirely under water and going at a speed of about eight knots. The boat then rose until the conning tower was in sight when the third was dis charged. The three topedoes had an average range of 1,700 yards. Cap tain Train, president of the trial board, stated tonight that the tests were satis factory. , Wireless Telegraphy a Success.

When leaving San Francisco, the Solace lost communica tion with the shore at 78 miles. Shows Looting Tales Exaggerated. Seoul, Corea, June 8. The Russians in the province of Hamgyung are said to be using ruble notes in payment for goods taken. Beeves and grain com mand fair prices. This statement hardly corresponds with the continual tales of looting, yet the Japanexe report that Corean fugitives bring paper money to Gensan. Twenty thousand dollars wcrth has been sent to Shang hai via Nagasaki for settlement by the Itusso-Chinese bank. Discovers a New Microbe. Naples, June 6.

I . l.L LJL HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON WOOL AT HIOM PRICB. Mlllloa and a Hal! Pounds Change Mends at Heppnor Sale. Heppnor The first wool salesday in lloppner as artanged by the Oregon Woolgrowers association resulted in ,600,000 pounds of wool changing hands, bringing to the growers little over $202,000. This is by far the larg est sale ever made in a single day in lloppner, and from every point of view was very satisfactory. Previous condi tions this year have been discouraging to the sheepmen and the industry In general, owing to the bad sheep mark et, but these wool sales added so r.ach encouragement that there Is a different feeling, not only among the growers but in all linos of business, for the sheep is prominent factor In the bus- ness affairs of Morrow county. For almost every lot of wool offered, the growers received more than they expected. The average price received was about 13X cents per pound, which a fully cent better than received last year, owing to a better quality of wool, this being caused by the open winter nd favorable spring, causing slight shrinkage and good staple. The early grass caused sheep to take on flesh and the fleeces were heavy, many flocks averaging a pound more to the sheep than last year. The advance in price and the increased weight of the fleeces bas added thousands of dollars to the pockotbooks of the prosperous sheep- growers. The sales will take out about half of the wool which will be handled In the lleppner market. It is estimated that about 1,500,000 pounds yet remain in tbe hands of the growers in this terri tory. Other salesdays have bees ar ranged for June 8 and 23, to be held here for the sale ot this wool. The sealed-bid method in which salesdays are designated when nam ber of growers and buyers can get to gether, was inaugurated three years ago. The bids of the buyers are placed in a bat. the highest offer taking the clip, if the grower desires to accept it, This method has been very successful, there having been but very few private lea. B10Q8ST SAWMILL ON COAST. Te Be Erected at Astoria by Hammond aad Other Interests. Astoria Negotiations are said to be in progress whereby the Interest of A B. Hammond and the Seaside lumber company in the southern and western portion of this county are to be united and the largest sawmill on the roast is to be erected. The lumber company is composed of wealthy Eastern men, who own a large tract of spruce timber in the Necanlcum district. Mr. Ham mond also has extensive interests in that section, and by combining the two sufficient timber is available to keep large mill in operation for many years Unquestionably the closing of thi deal would mean the extension of the Astoria A Colnmoie River railroad south to Tillamook.
