COAL PICKS BURN.
Leckawaaea Lews Five Mfilloss la Fire
at New York.
New York, Jane 1. Seven freight
and coal piers of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna A western railroad in Jersey
City were destroyed today by a fire
that started on the barge Allen C.
Churchill, which lay alongside pier 12,
on which a lot of barrels c( oil were
stortd. The lots Is estimated at $1,-
000,000. The flames spread rapidly.
Pier 12 was 800 feet long and was soon
ablate Ita entire length, and the fire
men who were trying to fight the fire
from the ahore were able to accomplish
but little.
The flames swept across to pier 11
and beyond, being finally checked at
pier 5, which is a new coal trestle,
steel-framed and iron-clad. Here the
firemen and flreboata made a despeiate
stand and stayed the advance of the
fire nntil 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 blase and
ovejt the ships at their dotks.
A number of canal boats and several
tugs were burned, the loss of small
boats being variously estimated at from
30 to ZOO. 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
coachea 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 0 was a grain
loading pier. No person was seriously
injured.
Vice-President Loom is, of the Lacka
wanna, placed the total loss by the fire
at $5,000,000, based on the original
cost of the piers burned, on the freight
stored on them and to some extent the
loss of business 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.
CAVALRY WILL BB SENT.
Marines Com 14 Accomplish Little la a
j ' Rough Country. t t.
- WubingtOTfrftrae l. High officials
of the administration are considering
the expediency of making war on the
Moroccan bandits if France declines to
land troops and aspume responsibility
for. the bandits' punishment. These
officials have discussed the beet method
of procedure and have reached the con
clusion that nothing but cavalry ac
customed to campaigning In a moun
tainoua country would be of service.
It was at first suggested that several
hundred marines should be landed at
Tangier and mounted. Tbey would be
sent in pursuit of the kidnappers of Ion
M. Perdicatis and hia stepson. This
was considered inadvisable, as the
marines would not be experienced in
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 administiation
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, ,
Death for Wire-Cutting.
Seoul, June 1. M. Hayashi, Japan
ese minister to Corea, has notified the
loreign office that the Japanese military
authorities are constantly complaining
that telegraphio communication with
General Kan is frequently interrupted.
The Japanese military authorities sus
pect that the country people are cut
ting the lines at various unfrequented
places. M. Hayashi states that the
Japanese emperor has issued a procla
mation inflicting the death penalty on
all persons caught destroying telegraph
lines, and asks that the Corean govern
ment take Bimilar action.
Japan Wanta Reply Soon.
London, 'June l.The Standard's
Tientsin correspondent telegraphs that
Uchida, the Japaneee minister " at Pe
kln, has demanded an immediate reply
to the inquiry previously sent to the
Wai-Wa-Pu bb to whether China is
prepared to hold and administer the
territory the Japanese have conquered,
adding that otherwise Japan must ap
peal to other powers to undertake the
responsibility at the expense of China.
Minister Uchida has notified the Chi
nese government at Pekin that Port
Arthur will soon be captured.
' Two Divisions of Fleet.
Paris, June l.The Echo de Paris'
St. Petersburg correspondent learns
that the Baltic fleet will leave, in two
detachments. The first, consisting of
four battleships, is due to start June
24. The battleship Orle will be re

NEEDS A RAILROAD
CENTRAL OkTQON IS RAPIDLY COM
INQ TO THE FRONT.
State Land Board Tearing That Section
Examining InigiUoa Projects Mec
btrs SMrprtM4 by What They Saw
Lately Only Sag (braea - Now Thriving
Paras are to Be Seea Everywhere
Haystack, Or., June I. "I aa as
tonished that Central Oregon has not
long ago been tapped by a railroad con
necting this section of tba state with
Portland," said Governor Chamberlain
today upon his 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 have
been started under the provisions ot
the Carey arid-land act. Tbey came
out to Shaniko, 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 tbey
may the more intelligently act upon
questions that will arise in the transac
tion of business relative to the irriga
tion enterprises.
Though the membets of the board
knew something of the general charac
ter of the country ana have read statis
tics showing the quantity and values of
the products of this part of the state,
tbey admit that they had no fair con
ception of the progress that has been
made in the development of 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
ests 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
rigation projects, they have seen
enough of the newly-settled country to
convince them that this section of Ore
gon is destined to be a great producer
of wealth through its agricultural re
sources, and that if the irrigation enter
prises prove to be the success that is
now expected of them,' Crook will be
one of the most Important farming
counties of the state.
BANDIT TOLD TO BBWARB.
America Will Haat Him to His Death If
Captive Is Harmed.
Washington, June 1. -Raisulli, the
Moroccan bandit, was today notified by
Secretary Hay, thaough United States
Consul General Gummero, that if seri
ous injury comes' to his American cap
tive, Ion Perdicaris, the United States
will hunt bim to hia death. This will
be done whether it takes weeks,
months or years. Consul General
Gummero was instructed to make this
message to Raisulli as 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 Perdicaris 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
mediatetly notified that ha must hunt
down and execute the bandit. Ameri
can ships will remain in the harbor of
Tangier until the matter is settled. If
necessary, American cavalrymen will
be sent there to assist in capturing the
brigands. . Such an intervention will be
a friendly one and would meet with as
sistance from the sultan.
Secretaty Hay is still hopeful that
be will take up the matter and insti
tute the necessary measures to capture
and punish the bandits. In any event,
feels sure thaj Great Britain will
assist the United States, as Cromwell
Varley, kidnapped with M. Perdicaris,
ia a British subject.
' Two Hundred Made Homeless.
Ottawa, Kan., June 1. The Marie
des Cygenes river here is. higher than
ever known, and the overflow has
caused a serious flood. Above here,
however, the stream' is falling, and the
worst probably is over. Two hundred
families are homeless in the lower por
tions of Ottawa and vicinty. In North
Ottawa Beveral business bouses are
flooded, there are two feet of water in
the Santa Fe depot, and the lower
floor of the Marsh hotel is covered with
water. The Santa Fe yards are two
feet under water.
Mined by the Japaneae.
Vladivostok, June 1. It is believed
from information received here that
the Japanese have mined Peter the
Great Gulf, on which this town is situ
ated, a task of easy accomplishment be
cause of the recent heavy fogs. A
small Corean sailing vessel was blown
np yesterday. The region is quiet so
far as military operations are con'
corned.
LOST 3.100 MEN.
Japanese Paid Dearty for Klacboaj Vic
tery-2,000 RaaaJaa Kilted.
Tokio, May 81. The Japanese casu
alties at Nan Shan are now estimated
at 3,500. The number of Ruasian guns
captured exceed 70.
While Japan paid heavily for ber
victory she scored a sweeping and val
uable victroy over the Russians, in cap
turing 6 guns, clearing the way to
Port Arthur and inflicting losses on the
Russians, which, in the end, are ex
pected to total 2,000 men.
It is doubtful if the Russians will
stand sgain north of Port Arthur.
They retired from the field beaten, and
they failed to rally at Nan Quan Ling,
where it was anticipated a second stand
would be made.
The desperato onslaughts of the Jap
anese on tha heights of Nan Shan were
telling, for the Rnasians left 300 dead
In the trenches there. A complete
search of the field ia expected to ahow
a greater number of dead.
Nan Quan Ling was occupied yester
day morning by a force of infantry, ar
tillery and engineers nnder the com
mand of General Nakamnra. The
main Japanese force spent Friday night
billeted in the villages around Nan
Shan. The soldiers were greatly fa
tigued as a result of the constant fight
ing, but they entered with much spirit
upon the new operations.
A force fo Russians held San Chi Li
Pu station, which is northwest ef Dal
ny, bat the Japanese drove them out.
The Russians abandoned and burned
the station and retreated in the diiec
tiou of Port Arthur.
The estimates of the Russians engag
ed in the defense of Kinchou, Nan Shan
bill and the south shore of Talienwan
bayvaiy, but it is evident that the
Russians drew for men from the forces at
Port Arthur and offered all the resist
ance possible. It is understood here
that Lieutenant General Stoeseel, com
mander of the military forces at Port
Arthur, waa in personal command of
the recent operations.
MASKINQ REAL FORCB.
Raaalaas Now See Object of Movements
f ef Japaneae Troops.
St. Petersburg, May 31. The news
contained in the following dispatch" to
the emperor from General Knropatkin,
is all that was officially . given out to
night:
"On May25 a Japanese force con
sisting of a battalion of infantry and a
squadron of cavalry advanced on the
main road to Liao Yang, but waa soon
compelled to retire toward Tkhouine-
nea.
"A second Japanese detachment, con
sisting of a battalion of infantry, at the
village of Dapu, in the Al valley, fired
heavily on our Cossacks from 10 in the
morning nntil 4 in the afternoon, but
the Japaneae infantry failed in an at
tempt to turn the Cossacks' right flank
and intercept their retreat."
While the dispatch is brief and bald,
it in considered extremely significant.
The fact that the Japanese com
menced to advance along the main Liao
Yang road immediately they had forced
the neck of the Liao Tung peninsula
and cut off Major General Fock from
any co-operation with the Russians in
the north shows s thorough understand
ing between the Japanese commanders.
The authorities here believe the ad
vance from Feng Wang Cheng has only
been suspended, pending the elimina
tion of Fork's force, and they expect
that the advance upon Liao Yang will
now be pushed in earnest.
It is evident that the continual shitt
ing of and skirmishing by the advanced
posts of the Japanese around Feng
Wang Cheng have been meie'y success
ful in masking the real fo:0), consist'
ing of the third army, which is mov
ing north from Takusban. It is ex
pected that this force will be hurled
upon Liao Yang, while the Southern
Japanese force is busy wtih Port Ar
thur. The fact that there is almost a com
plete suspension of press messages
from Russian correspondents at the
front is taken to indicate that import
ant moveents are pending.
Russians Must Seek Port.
St. Petersburg, May 31. There is
no attempt here to disguise the fact
that the successful forcing of the neck
of Kwan Tung peninsula proper puts a
practical end to resistance to the enemy
until he reaches the actual fortifications
around Port Arthur. Although- there
are many strong positions in the more
than 25 miles before the perimeter of
the fortress is reached, the authorities
admit that the Russians can offer little
resistance, and must now retire within
the fortress and prepare for the final
struggle.
Declared a State of Blockade.
"Washington, May 31. Minister
Griscom cables to the state department
from Tokio nnder today's date that the
Japanese government declares the Liao
Tung peninsula fiom Piteewo to Pul
ientan to be in a Btate of blockade.
HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
wool at man price.
Mfflloa aad a Halt Posada Change Haada
at Mtppssr Sale.
Heppner The first wool saleaday in
Heppneras arranged by the Oregon
Woolgrowers association resulted in
1,500,000 pounds of wool changing
hands, bringing to the growers a little
over $202,000. This is by far the larg
est sale ever made in a single day In
Heppner, and from every point cf 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 sdded so much
encouragement that there ia a different
feeling, not only among the growers
bnt in all lines of business, for the
sheep is a prominent factor in the bus
iness 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
is fully a cent better than received last
year, owing to a better quality of wool,
this being caused by the open winter
and favorable spring, causing slight
shrinkage and good staple. The early
gTass caused sheep to take on flesh and
the fleeces were heavy, many flocks
averaging a pound more to the sheep
than" hist year. The advance in price
and the increased weight of the fleeces
has added thousands of dollars to the
pocketbooks of the prosperous sheep
growers. The sales will take out about half of
the wool which will be handled in the
Heppner market. It is estimated that
about 1,500,000 pounds yet remain in
the hands of the growers in this terri
tory. Other salesdays have been ar
ranged for June 8 and 23, to be held
here for the sale of this wool.
The sealed-bid method in which
salesdays are designated when a num
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
cliprlf the grower desires to accept ' it:
This method has been very successful,
there having been but very few private
ales.
BICW EST SAWMILL ON COAST.
To Be Erected at Astoria by Hammond
aad Other lateresta.
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 coast is
to be erected. The lumber company is
composed of wealthy Eastern men, who
own a large tract of spruce timber in
the Necanicum district. Mr. Ham
mond also has extensive interests in
that section, and by combining the two
sufficient timber is available to keep a
large mill in operation for many years.
Unquestionably the closing of this
deal would mean the extension of the
Astoria & Columoia River railroad
south to Tillamook.

Baker City Prepares for Fair.
Baker City At a mass meeting of
citizens held here it was resolved to
organize a fair association for the pur
pose of providing a race trace and

There was a large number of prominent
citizens present, and most of whom
signified their intention to subscribe
liberally for the stock of the associa
tion. Two yean ago the district fair
was a failure here because there waa no
race track and no suitable buildings for
the accommodation of exhibits.
