POKT ARTHUR SITUATION BAD.
Famine
Prices Exist ard Many People
Eat Chinese Food.
Niu Chwang, June 2 Some Chinese
fugitives from Port Arthur, who have
just arrived here, describe the situa
tion of tlie inhabitants there as deper
ate. Famine prices exist. The cost of
provisions increases weekly. Many
persons are reduced to eating Chinese
food, and even that- is dear. Millet
flour costs $0 a bag. Whole streets
and several public buildings have been
wrecked by Japanese shell Are. The
hospitals are packed with sick and
wounded.
The work of repairing the damaged
warships has been stopped. All civil
ians have been given military duty.
The general health of the inhabitants
is good, except Chinese, who are dying
of starvation. Theft lias been made
punishable by death.
The railway is completely destroyed
as (ar as Kinchou, and there are fre
quent gaps between Kinchou and Wa
Fang Ting. There are 15,000 Japanese
troops there, but no signs of troops fur
ther north. During the fighting at
Kinchou 200 Chinese were killed by
the Japanese fire.
The very highest Russian authority
here, while not believing that Port
Arlhnr wi'l fall, admits its loss would
be a terrible loss to the Russian arms.
The same authority says Russia may
send a large army to the south of Niu
Chwang in the event of General Stoes
sel being able to hold his own at Port
Arthur. This, however, is not possible
at present, owing to the positions oc
cupied by the Japanese armies operat
ing from the Yalu river and laltu
Hliau. The Russians are not sanguine
as to the outlooK lor rori Artnur.
More contraband of war is arriving
here. Two cargoes of flour and tinned
meats and some speire were rushed to
Mukden as soon as they were unloaded.
Heavy tains are daily making the
roads almost impassable. The Chinese
brigands are becoming active.
OLEO LAW VALID.
United States Supreme Court
Hands
Down Decision.
Washington, June 2. The supreme
court of the United States, in an
opinion by Justice White today, upheld
the constitutionality of the oleomargar
ine law. Leo W. McRay 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 of three-quarters of a
cent a pound instead of 10 cents
pound.
McRay e counsel argued first, that,
lthoiitfh the "oleo" was colored to
look like butter, the coloi was obtained
by the use of butter, which was itself
artificially colored, but the use of
which as an ingredient in the manu
facture of "oleo" was authorized by
law; and, second, . that the tax of 10
cents a pound was proibitive and. con
fiscatory, and an attempted federal
usurpation of the police powerB of the ;
. . m, . , l i .
Slate, ine court, hhiu tue taa cujiieni
plated the flmshed product and not the
details of manufacture. The court
therefore affirmed the judgment ol the
lower court, upholding the validity of
the law and the tax.
The chief justice and Justices Brown
and Peckham dissented.
MACHINISTS QO OUT.
Three Thousand Chicago Men Protest
Against 10-Hour Day.
Chicago. June 1. The 3,000
chinists employed in the companies
that compose that Metal Trades associ-
ation went on strike last night as a pro-
test against the 10-hour day, and prac-
tically all of the 116 shops represented
in the association are ciosea totiay.
No effort will be made to operate the
shops until tomorrow, and then the
force of the employers will be central
ized at a few plants.
The 10-hour day was inaugurated by
the employers for, the purpose of bring-j
ing the strike to a crisis. In a state
ment sent out tonight by the officers of
the association, it is declared that the
employers had no intention of return
ing to the 10-hour day, but they were
compelled to take this step to combat
the slow individual strike campaign,
which was commenced by the Mat hin
ists' union some time ago.
Russian Commands Consolidated.
St. Peteisburg. June 2. By an im
pel ial ukase just issued, the control of
tbe ports of Reval, Sveaborg and Tibau
and all the naval forces of the Baltic
has been transferred to the commandant
of the port of Cronstadt, with the title
of commander in chief of the fleet and
ports and of the defenses of the Baltic
sea. The otijecr, oi the consolidation oi
the commands is to insure uniformity
in the measures adopted in the defense
of the coasts of the Baltic during the
existing state of war.
Horsethlevrs and O. fleers Battle.
Salt Lake, June 2. According to a
Herald special from Buffalo, Wye, two
borsethieves, members of the gang of
which "Driftwood Jim" McCloud, now
serving a term in the penitentiary, was
leader, fought battle with hlieritt
Webb, of Natrona county in the Big
Horn mountains recently. One of the
thieves was shot fiom his horse, but
his companion picked him up and they
fled to the Bad Lands on one horse.
The sheriff and posse are in pursuit.
Disproves Koch's Theory.
London, June 2. The royal commis
sion appointed in August, 1901, to in
quire into the relation between human
and animal tuberculosis has arrived at
a conclusion justifying the issuance of
an interim report according to which
the commission finds thst human and
bovine tubercolosis are practically
identical.

COM
State Land Board Toartng That Section
Examining Irrigation Projects Mem
bers Surprised by What Ihey Saw
Lately Only Sagebrush-Now Thriving
Farms are to Be Sees Ever) where.
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 his arrival here from Shan
iko, in company with Secretary of State
Dunbar and Stf'- 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-lamlrt. They came
out to Shaniko, in tl'e 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 Brine 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 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 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-eettled country to
convince them that tins section of Ore'
j 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 tbe success that is
now expected of thetn, Crook will be
one of the most important farming
counties of the state.
BANDIT TOLD TO BBWARB.
America Will Hunt Wm'to His Death II
Captive la Harmed.
Washington, June 1. Raisulli, the
Moroccan bandit, was today notified by
I Secretary Hay, through United States
1 Consul General Guinmero, that if seri
j oils injury comes to his American cap
tive, Ion Perdicaris, the United Slates
will hunt him to his death. This will
.
oe
done whether it takes weeks,
Qnmmero , nMed (o niake this
message to Raisulli as forcible as pos
sible, and to inform him that no Euro
pean nation will le 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 bis 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
farrjog out his threat and kills his cap
jve8i the Butan 0( Morocco will beim-
mediatntly notified that he must hunt
down an(i execute the bandit. Ameri-
oan 8nip8 wil remain in the harbor of
Tangier until the matter is settled. If
necessary, American cavalrymen will
be sent there to assist in capturing the
brigsnda. Such an intervention will be
a friendly one and would meet with as
sistance from the sultan.
Secretaiy 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,
he feels sure that Great Britain will
assiet the United States, as Cromwell
Varley, kidnapped with M. Perdicaris,
is a liritiHli 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
wt'jtwa several business houses 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.
Fresh Sensation la Dreyfus Case.
Paris, June 1. A fresh sensation is
promised in the Dreyfus case. The
minister of war has caused the arrest
of an officer whose identity is kept a
profound secret and who is charged
with having expended a large amount
of money at the trial of Dreyfus at
Rennes in order to secure the convic
tion of the accused. The officer is in
close confinement in the fortress of
Valerian and no information regarding
the caee will be made public at present.
Mined by the Japanese.
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 wss blown
up yesterday. The region la quiet so
far as military operations are eon-
0lcerned.
COAL PIERS BURN.
Lackawanna Loses Five Millions In
Fire
at New York.
New York, June 1. Seven freight
and coal piers of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna A Western uilroad 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 cf oil were
stortd. The loss is estimated at $1,
000,000. Tbe flames spread rapidly.
Pier 12 was 800 feet long and was soon
ablate 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 1 1
snd beyond, being finally checked at
pier 5, 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
fire until the burning piers crumbled
and fell into the water.
Although there was little wind,
sparks fell all along the water-front fot
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
tugi were burned, the Iobs 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 8 was a grain
loading pier. No person was seriously
injured.
Vice-President Loom is, of the Lacka
wanna, placed the total loss by the Are
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 Could Accomplish Little In a
Rough Country.
Washington, June 1. High officials
of the administration are considering
the expediency of making war on the
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 ao
customed to campaigning in a moun
tainous country would be of service.
It was at first suggested that several
hundred marines should be landed at
Tangier and mounted. They would be
sent in pursuit of the kidnappers of Ion
M. Perdicatis and his 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 aduiinistiation
officials discourage the idea and think
France should take the necessary steps.
There has been no intimation, however,
thai France will do this, but Mr, Hay
eels 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 telegraphic communication with
General 8an is frequently interrupted.
The Japanese military authorities sus
pect that the country people are cut
ting the lines at various unfrequented
places. M. HayaBhi states that the
Japanese emperor has issued a procla
mation inflicting the death penalty on
all persona caught destroying telegraph
lines, and asks that the Corean govern
ment take similar action.
Japan Wanta Reply Soon.
London, June 1. The Standard's
Tientsin correspondent telegraphs that
Uchida, the Japanese minister at Pe-
kin, has demanded an immediate reply
to the inquiry previously sent to the
Wai-Wa-Pu as 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 haa notified the Chi
nese government at Pekin that Port
Arthur will soon be captured.
Kept Long In Close Quarters. '
Tangier, June 1. The statement
published in the United Stales, through
the medium of a news agency that M.
Percradia and his companion, M. Var
ley, who are captives in the stronghold
of the Brigand Razulia, have been per
mitted to go boar bunting and are gen

Paris, June 1. The Echo de Paris'
St. Petersburg correspondent learn
that the Baltic fleet will leave in two
' detachments. The first, consisting of
' four batt&ships, is due to start June
24. The battleship Orle will be re
floated. The dynamos, the only part
! of her machinery seriously damaged.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
. WOOL AT HIGH PaiCB.
Million and a Hall Pounda Change Hands
at Heppner Sale.
Heppner The first wool salesday in
Heppner as arianged by the Oregon
Woolgrowers' association resulted in from Roseborg, where they were sue
1,500,000 pounds of wool changing cessful in securing the location of the
hands, bringing to the growers a little
over $202,000. This is by far the larg
est sale ever mado in a single day in
Heppner, and from every point of view
was very satisfactory. Previous condi
tions this year have been discouraging
to the sheepmen and the industry in
genera), owing to the bad sheep mark
et, but these wool sales added ao much
encouragement that there is a different
feeling, not only among the growers
but 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 groners received more than they
expected. The average price received
was about 13 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
grasi 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
has added thousands of dollars to the
pocketbooks of the prosperous sheep-
growers.
The sales will take out about half of ,
the wool which win be handled in tne
tieppner market, it is estimated mat
about 1,500,000 pounda 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 inauguiated three years
ago. The bids of the buyers are placed
in a hat, the highest offer taking the
ip, if the grower desires to accept it.
This method has been very successful,
there having been but very few private
lea.
BIQQBST SAWMILL ON COAST.
To Be Erected at Astoria by Hammond
and 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 ot this county are to be united
and the largest sawmill on the coast is
to be erected. The lumber compsny 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 eeition, 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 A Columoia River railroad
south to Tillamook.

Sheep Hurry In Early.
rendloton Anticipation of an un
