It is the hope of the ctar and his advisets, that this place may be made impregnable, and the Japanese can be compelled to extend their lines over so much teriitory that they will exhaust themselves guarding their lines of communication. It is certain that General Kuropat- kin's insistance that it is impossible to retain control of Manchuria has had a painful effect on the czar, who has brigands are becoming active. trusted implicitly to Aumirai Aiexieu The latter declared that no Japanese army could ever secure a footing north -of Yalu, but this dream baa been dis pelled and now the Kussian govern ment is facing the fact that the Japan ese not only have obtained a foothold, but also that their foice are equal, if not superior in numbers, to the Itus ians. and at the same time are much ix'tter equipped. NEEDS A RAILROAD Prices Exist and Many People Bat Chinese Food. tlu Cbwang, June 2. Fome Chinese fugitives from Port Arthur, who have just arrived here, describe the situa tion of tie Inhabitants there as uesper ate. Famine prices exist. The cost of provisions increases weekly. Msny persons are reduced to eating Chinese food, and even that Is dear. Millet flour costs 6 a bag. Whole streets and several public buildings have been wrecked bv Japanese shell tire, lae hospitals are packed with sick and wounded. The work of repairing the damaged warships has been stopped. All civil lans have been given military duty. The general health of the Inhabitants is good, except Chinese, who are dying of starvation. Theft has been made punishable by death. The railway Is completely tiesiroyea as (ar as Klnchou, and there are fre- Wa Fana Tin.. There are 15,000 Japanese troops there, but no signs of troops fur ther north. During the ngniing at Klnchou 200 Chinese were killed by the Japanese fire. The very highest Kussian anuioniy here, while not believing that Port Arthur wi'l fall, admits its loss wouiu be a terrible loss to thKusslan arms. The same authority says Russia may send a large army to the south of Niu Chwanir in the event of General Btoes- sel boina able to hold his own at Port Arthur. This, however, is not possible at present, owing to the positions oc cupied by the Jspanese armies operat es from the lalu river ana au Shan. The Russians are not sanguine as to the outlook for Port Arthur More contraband of war is arriving here. Two cargoes of flour and tinned meats and some spelre were rushed to Mukden as soon as they were unloaded Heavy rains are daily making the roads almost impassable.

The request of the Jnited Btates for the co-operation of France In bringing about the release of Perdlcaris and Varley has produced a very favorable impression at the foreign -olllce here, where much significance is Attached to the request, as embodying the first distinct international recog nition of France's paramount influence in Morocco. , It is expected that this -will lead to a more euiphatlo exercise of French authority over Morocco with the view of suppressing lawlessness and the protection 'of foreigners, but the nature of the future steps is not an flounced pending the negotiations on the subject. Ambassador Porter called at the for ign olllce this morning and conferred with Foreign Minister Delcasee relative to the course of the Waidiiiigton cabi net. Yesterday M. Delcasse stated that negotiations were now progressing at Tangier and at Fex, the chief reliance being placed on the sultan's yielding tmfore the united representations of France, Great Britain and the United Ctates.

Ito Himatsu, a Japanese merchant of New York, has arrived in Chicago with a common epl it-leather valise containing $1,200, O00 in United Btates money, which he -will Hive to the mikado to help defeat Russia. The cash is all in United States gold notes and bank bills. The money was deposited here with a trust company on the advice of the local Jap anese consul. Ito Himatsu expects to cail from Ban Francisco on June 11. He is a recognized authority in America on Japanese art, and his discourses for the last five years have been the sub joct of many written disquisitions on the influence of Japanese arts and Jap anese Ideals upon mod am aestheticlsm.

Aoygi, special immigration coin' mlssioner from the Japanese govern ment. to confer with the Canadian and United Btates governments regarding the immigration of Japanese laborers. He savs that he comes empowered to accept the suggestion of each govern ment that Btill further restrictions be placed on emigration from Japan. The Jspanese government is porfectly will ing, he says, to prohibit the further emigration. United States Supreme Court Down Decision. Washington, June Z. The supreme court of the United Btates, in an opinion by Justice White today, upheld the constitutionality ol the oleomargar ine law. Leo W. McKay sued the gov ernment In the Southern district of Ohio, to recover $50 paid by him as a penalty for the sale of a 50 pound pack age of colored oleomargarine, contain ing a stamp tax ol three-quarters ol a cent a pound instead of 10 cents a pound. McKay's counsel argued first, that, although the "oleo" was colored to look like butter, the coloi was obtained by the nse of butter, which was itself artificially colored, but the nse of which as an ingredient in the menu factor of "oleo" was authorised by law i and. second, that the Ux bt 10 cents a pound was proibitive and con flscatory. and an attempted federal usurnation of the police powers of the state. The court said the tax contem plated the finished product and not the details of manufacture. The court therefore affirmed the judgment of the lower court, upholding the validity ol the law and the tax. The chief Justice and Justices Brown and Peckham dissented. State Land Board Touring That Section Examining Irrigation Projects Mem bers Surprised by What They Saw Lately Only Sagbrh Now Thriving Farms are to Be Seen Everywhere. Haystack, Or., June 1. "I am as tonished that Central Oregon has not long ago been tapped by a railroad con necting this section of the state with Portland," said Governor Chamberlain today upon bis arrival here from Shan- iko, in company with Secretary of State Dunbar and State Treasurer Moore. These state officers, as members of the state land board, are on their way to the Upper Deschutes country to exam ine the irrigation projects which nave been started under the provisions oi the Carey arid-land act. They came out to Bhaniko, in the southern part of Sherman county, over the Columbia Southern, and from there took a private conveyance and are traveling across Crook county, learning what they can of the country, so that they may the more intelligently act upon questions that will arise in the transac tion of business relative to the irriga tion enterprises. Though the membeis of the board knew something of the general charac ter of the country and have read statis tics showing the quantity and values of the products of this part of the state, they admit that they had no fair con ception . of the progress that has been made in the development ol industrial resources and of the possibilities for future growth. With one accord they express the opinion that Oregon should be looking after her commercial inter est in Central Oregon and not permit California to step in and take trade that naturally . belongs to Portland While they have not yet visited the ir mation projects, . . they , have to Lackawanna Loses Five Millions la Fire t New York.

The flames spread rapidly. ier 12 was 800 feet long and was soon ablaze its entire length, and the fire men who were trying to fight the fire from the shore' were able to accomplish but little. The flames swept across to pier 11 and beyond, being finally checked at pier 6, which is a new coal trestle, steel-framed and iron-clad. Here the firemen and fireboats made a despeiate stand and stayed the advance of the re until the burning piers crumbled and fell into the water. Although there was little wind, sparks fell all along the water-front for nearly a mile, endangering the Lacka wanna station and even the Hamburg- American and Bremen line piers, where the firemen were kept busy playing streams of water upon the blaze and over the ships at their docks. A number of canal boats and several tugs were burned, the loss of small boats being variously estimated at from 30 to 200. The number of freight cars is not known, but the loss on this class of rolling stock will be heavy. The Lackawanna road moved its passenger coaches out to the Meadows, and one train of freight cars was moved out and saved, Piers 11 and 12 were full of general merchandise", piers 7, 8, 9 and 10 were used for coal and pier 6 wan a grain loading pier. No person was seriously injured. Vice-President Loom is, of the Lacka wanna, placed the total loes Dy tne nre at $5,000,000, based on the original cost of the piers burned, on the freight stored on them and to some extent tne loss of bnsinees which must necessarily ensue. It also includes the burning of the canal boats and barges thickly moored between some of the piers. The Lackawanna company carries its own insurance. Secretary of lt..... Secretary of Treasury,.

America Wilt Hnnt Hlrn to tils Captive Is Harmed. Washington, June 1. Raisulli, the Moroccan bandit, was today notified by Secretary Hay, through United Btates Consul General Gummero,' that if seri ous Injury comes to his American cap tive, Ion Perdicaria, the United States will hunt him to his death. This will be done whether it takes weeks, months or years. Consul General Gummero was instructed to make this message to Raisulli ss forcible as pos sible, and to inform him that no Euro pean nation will be permitted to pre vent his punishment. The cablegram was sent in response to the one from Mr. Gummero advising that Raisulli would kill Perdicaria and his stepson unless the terms of his pro posed ransom met with prompt com pliance. Mr. Hay has reached the con clusion that the terms imposed cannot and will not be accepted. If Raisulli carries out his threat and kills his cap tives, the sultan of Morocco will be im mediatetlr notified that be must hunt down and execute the bandit. Ameri can ships will remain In the harbor of Tansier until the matter is settled. If necessary. American cavalrymen will be sent there to assist in capturing the brigands. Buch an intervention will be a friendly one and would meet with as sistance from the sultan. Secretary Hay is still hopeful that he will take up the matter and Insti tute the necessary measures to capture and punish the bandits. In any event, "The Milwaukee" Hfpn Town Officer.

High officials of the administration are considering the expediency of making war on tbe Moroccan bandits if France declines to land troops and assume responsibility for the bandits' punishment. These officials have discussed the best method of procedure and have reached the con clusion that nothing but cavalry ac customed to campaigning in moun tainous country would be of service. It was at first suggested that several trandrer) marines should be landed at Tangier and mounted. They would be sent in pursuit of the kidnappers of Ion M. Perdicaria and bis stepson. This was considered inadvisable, as the marines would not be experienced in i that kind of warfare. If an expedition is sent it will comprise trained cavalry men from the United States. The president and general staff think this government should send an armed expedition after the brigands. Secre tary Hay and other administration officials discourage the idea and think France should take the necessary steps. There has been no intimation, however, that France will do this, but Mr. Hay feels sure that she will take action be fore Great Britain or the United States sends an armed force into the sultan's country. ..PhUCohn ..Tom Quald 0.
