J., destroyed proprety valued at between (200,000 and $300,000. Salvador and Guatemala are both sending troops to the border and there is danger of war. The Fennsvlvania railroad has i duced 5,000 employes in its shops to two-days-a-wex'k working basis. The absence of fortifications in Cores tends to show Japan has no intention of making thai country their base. The St Louis fair officials contem plate a Fourth of July celebration which bids fair to eclipse any ever held in the United States. Admiral Skrydlott says he mrst sig naled the Japanese transports to stop and when they rcfufed was forced to fire on them, sinking three. The Vladivostok squadion has turned to Port. Japanese artillery is using lyddte shells extensively. Russia believes Japan Is tiling of the war and would welcome mediation. The coroner's inquiry into the wreck of the General Slocum has commenced. The release of captives Perdicaris and Varley has again been delayed for a week. According to Russian advices the Standard Oil company has absorbed the Russian oil trimt. The Russian army at Mukden Is now able to take a much needed rest as the Japanese advance has stopped. The Portland mine, in Cripple creek, the former stronghold of unionism, will hereafter employ nonunion help. The . Connecticut court has ruled that W. J; Bryan must turn over to Mrs. Pkilo Bennett all the money from the estate of her late husband. The Transcontinental Passenger as sociation is in session at St. Paul. The most important matter to come be- foie the meeting for consideration will be rates to the Lewis and Clark expo sition. A big battle is imminent in Southern Manchuria. The British battleship Prince of Wales Is at Tangier. All the Russian ships at Port Arthur are repaired and ready for sea. Representative Tawney is cure the Lewis and Clark fair will be a success in every way. The city of New York will raise the wreck of the General Slocum to make sure it contains no bodies. The fourth of the transports which met with the Russian Vladivostok squadron is now known to have been eunk. Fanatical Mongols are being nrgod to revolt by alleged apostlex of the god Ariol and may cause the Russians much touble, . . . Lieutenant General von Wahl, for merly chief of police of St. Petersburg, is likely to be appointed governor gen eral of Finland. ' The directors of the Portland mine will dismiss the damane anion begun by ' their ' superintendent against the state of Co.orado for closing the mine. It is believed that the Japanese fleet has met the Russian Vladivostok squadron near Sasebo. The Teamsters' nnlon, of Chicago, and their employers are expected to have trouble shortly. Many of the Japanese on the trans ports sunk by the Russians committed suicide rather than be captured. The number of vessels In the Port Arthur harbor at precent is 15, includ ing merchantmen and warships. ' Authorities at Cripple Creek claim to have the man in jail who blew op the Independnce depot platform. Gieat Britain and Russia are said to be on the eve of reaching an under standing regarding the yellow peril. The big break in the Sacramento riv er near Stockton has been closed and the flow of water checked. . The loss to farmers, however, will be extensive.

The Vladivostok squadron is now known to have eunk two Japanese transports, which carried about 1,000 men down wtti them. hb wovr talk Halted States Steamboat Inspector Caus es Sensation la Slocum Case New York, June 23. Evidence of a start ing nature, which doubtless will have an important bearing on the ulti mate result of the coroner's inquiry Into the General Slocum disaster, was forthcoming at the Inquest today. Perhaps the most unexpected incident was the continued refusal to answer questions of Henry I undberg, a United States steamboat inspector, who was supposed to have inspected the life pre serveis and the hull of the ill-fated steamer. His refusal was based on the ground that an answer might tend to incriminate him, and he acted on the advice of hia counsel. The coroner committed Lundberg to the house of detention, but later ac cepted $500 bail for his appearance at the hearing tomorrow, which was sat isfactory to the assistant district at torney. Second Pilot Weaver, of the Slocum, testified that he had purchased the fire hose for that boat, and Mr. Garvan in troduced evidence to show that the price paid was 40 cents a foot less 60 per cent, or 18 cents per foot net. By the use of dynamite aud heavy guns fired by men from the second bat tery scores of bodies were brought up from the bottom, around the shores near North Brother island today. From sunrise to sunset the searchers along the beach and in the boats gath ered in 112 bodies, bunging un the number of the recovered to date to the appalling total of 845. Of these 700 nave oeen uientiileu and trie missing are approximated at something more than 300, . Many of the bodies last found never will be identified, because of the changes that have taken place luring the week they have been under the water. warned tub correspondent. Japan Told Emerson It Cou'd Not Guar antee His Safety. Seattle, June 23. The facts leading up to the shooting of Colonel Edwin Emerson, Jr., war correspondent of the New York World and the Seattle Post- Intelligencer in the Far East, are relat ed by K. L. Dunn, correspondent in Corea, for an American weekly maga zine, who reached this citv tonight. Mr. Dunn made this statement ' after being informed that Colonel Emerson was dead ; "Colonel Emerson, as a military man, was well aware of the jositions occupied by Japanese soldiers. Some time ago he made the announcement that be intended to go through the Russian lines and work from that vant age point. When it came to the ears of the Japanese military authorities that Emerson intended to take this step, an officer approached another representa tive of Jt'merson's papers and informed him if he took such a step the govern ment could scarcely be further respon sible for his safety. ' I contemplated a move similar to that outlined by Emerson," said Mr. Dunn, "but the Japanese made it clear to me that it would not be wise for me to proceed. "Emerson held papers which would have carried him through the Russian ines in safety. In view of these facts I am inclined to think the real story of lus death has not been learned." METCALF QETS IT. Is to Succeed Cortelyou as Secretary of Commerce and Labor. Washington, June 22. It can be stated with definiteness that Repre sentative Victor II. Metcalf, of, the Third California district, will succeed erretary George E. Cortelyou as head of the department of commerce and labor. It has been assumed for ten days that Mr. Metcalf probably would be invited to accept the portfolio. President Roosevelt holds him in high esteem, and for a long time he has been in clos er touch with Mr. Roosevelt thaq almost any other member of the house of representatives. ; No change will be made in the de partment until the close of the present fiscal year on June 30. Mr. Cortelyou will conclude the work of a year, as several matters of importance which he has initiated are pending. Charges Against Madden Fall. Washington, June 23. The report of Assistant Attorney General Robb on the investigation of alleged irregulari ties in the bureau of Third Assistant Postmaster General Edwin C. Madden, in connection with the printing and disposition of specimen postage stamps, has been submitted to the president. It finds nothing improper in Mr. Mad- den's conduct and says the practice of the gratuitous distribution of a limited number of these books has obtained ever since postage stamps were first printed. ' All Heady to Land Men. London, June 23. The Mail's Tan gier coirespondent telegraphs: Two conferences were held tixlay between the American and British ministers, which were attended by the American admiral and the captain of the British cruiser Prince of Wales.

MIS' Colonel Edward Emerson, Jr., Cabled ; Last Month Tbat He Would Leave , Japanese Army, aa He Could Oct Into Lines of the Enemy Report Olvei No Details. New York, June 22. A cable dis patch to the World today, which is not signed, and which the World say was probaoly forwarded by the American legation at Pekin, anrjnmces the shoot ing of Colonel Edwan Emerson, Jr one of the oild s correspondents in the Far East, and conveyed the impres sion that he had been killed. The cable stated that it . was reported that Emerson had been shot by Russians, who mistook him for a spy. A letter was received from Emerson by the World shortly before the receipt of this cable, dated May 14, containing these expressions: "Mukden Is muzzled; no news can get out irom tiiore. I hud I can get into the Russian lines." Emerson left the Japanese army some time ago, and pushed on to Mukden. . SAYS WSslK LOST 7,000 MEN. Wounded Officer Says No Troops Cou'd Have Withstood Japanese. Niu Chwang, June 22. A Russian officer who was wounded in the battle at Vafangow (Telissu) told an Associ ated Press correspondent that the losses on both sides were severe. He places the Russian casualties at least nt 7,000. fie says no soldiers in the world could withstand the Japanese as they have been fighting lately. Their artillery fire, he asserts, is marvelously effective. The Russians fought stubbornly, des perately, but were unable to withstand the enemy's dashing persistency. Several hundred wounded Russians have been sent north, owing to a lack of hospitals and surgeons. All the available transpoitation has to be used for supplies at the expense of the sick and wounded. The Japanese buried most of the Russian dead after the bat tle. It is estimated on the information obtainable that the force moving north ward is 70,000 strong, with 90,000 men in the aggregate engaged in the opera tions at Port Arthur. Several Japan ese spies have recently been captured a lew miles south of Niu Chwang. The Russians are becoming more vig ilant and are watching newspaper mes sages closely. JAPANESE LOSSES ONLY 1,000. Toklo Believes Vafangow Battle Cost the Enemy 10,000 Men. Toklo, June 22. Further reports re ceived here show that the blow in flicted by General Oku on the Russians in the fighting at Telissu (Vafangow) on June 15, was more severe than at first was believed. The number of Russians killed in this battle probably will exceed 2,000, and theii total losses, including prisoners, is estimated at 10,000. 1 he Japanese losses are less than 1,000, or about one-tenth of the Russian total. Up to June 17, General Oku had buried 1,6 in dead and he reports that many more dead have been found.' Chinese who witnessed the fighting from the Russian side report that the Russians removed many dead men from the trains with their wounded,- and that they buiied or cremated many corpses J n the village of Huasungkou before they retreated. The number of prisoners and trophies taken by the Japanese ' ia increasing. General Oku is not yet able to report the total number of prisoners. Four. story Brick Collapses. Kansas City, June 22. One person was killed, another probably is dead, buried under tons of debris, and seven others were injured, one fatallv, bere today by the collapse of the four-story brick building at Third and Delaware streets, occupied by the Block preserv ing company. The collapse was caused by the explosion of ammonia on the fourth floor. One side of the structure. extending its whole height, fell in. There were 60 girls on thenpper stories at the time, and a panic prevailed among them. Morton Can Succeed Moody. Washington, June 22. The Post says: r resident Roosevelt bag Invitd Paul Morton to become svmemberof his official family as secretary of the navy. Mr. Morten has the matter under con sideration and has not yet given any intimation of acceptance or declination. Mr. Morton is the son of the late J.

The big No. 2 hoist of the Ontario mine, locat ed near this city, was totally destroyed today, throwing 200 men out of employ ment and causing a nominal lose of $400,000. The actual kss, however, wiil not gteatly exceed $600,000, the loss otherwise being an immense Corn ish punui, which has not been used" since the completion of the Ontario tunnel, which drains tbat district, sev eral years ego. CANADA MAY COME. Appropriation of $50,000 for Lewis and Clark Fair. Portland, June 22. Canada may conclude to take an active part In the Lewis and Clark exposition. While that government has in the past seemed disinclined to participate, a change has been wrought in the eleventh hour. A bill making an ap propriation of $50,000 is to be intro duced at once in the Canadian parlia ment. Telergaphio communication to this effect was received at lewis aud Clark headquarters yesterday morning. The telegram was received from Colonel II. E. Dosch, commissioner general, who recently went to Ottawa to interest the Canadian officials in the fair. It was addressed to Director General Goode but, at Mr. Goode has been out of the city for a week past, the message was received by Secretary Henry Reed. The message is as follows: After many consultations and inter views, outlook for Canada's participa tion is favorable. Ministers will ask parliament for $50,000." This news was a pleasant surprise to fair officials, who had all hut given up nope of getting the Canadian govern ment interested. All communications sent to Ottawa and to Canadian officials had been courteously replied to, but the tone of the replies was not encour aging. There seemed to !e a disposi tion on the part of the Canadian people to concentrate their efforts on making a fine exhibit at the fair in Belgium, which takes place next year, almost simultaneously with the Lewis and Clark exposition. in the event parliament makes the appropriation asked for, it is thought the province of Britith Columbia can be brought into line. It is known that British Columbia has been holding back to see what reception the exposition will get from the general government before taking any action. Favorable action from the general government will, therefore, it is believed, insure the participation of British Columbia ai a province. RAID STILL ON. Russian Vladivostok Squadron Is Again Sighted Olt Japan. Tokio, June 22. The Russian Sibe rian squadron from Vladivostok was sighted again at noon yesterday off Main island in the sea of Japan, but was apparently following out a prear ranged plan, ai the vessels steamed at about 11 knots' speed slowly toward the northwest, paying no attention to the shores. Judging by their position in the water, they are heavily laden and it is sup posed that before leaving Vladivostok on this last trip they filled all of their reserve bunkers with coal, so that they can keep out of port for not less than three weeks. In spite of the menace to their trans port fleet the Japanese officials here de clare that their oriignal plans will be carried out, no matter what the cost. They declare tbat there ia no chance for the Port Arthur squadron to make a sortie to Join Admiral Skrydloff, as Admiral Tog" has so disposed of his ships about the harbor mouth that any vessels putting out will be sunk before tbey are even clear of the roadstead. WORRVINQ THB JAPANESE. Skrydtoff's Squadron's Work Appreci ative at St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, June 22. Vice Ad miral Skrydloff 's message to the em peror from Valdivoetok, in which he detais the operations of the squadron, indicates that he has accounted for at least three of the Japanese transports besides a suspected collier. The mes sage does not indicate the present whereabouts c( the squadron. The fact that the collier was sent to Vladiyost k under a prize crew might indicate that the news of the operations of the squad ron was brought there by her and that the cruisers are still at sea. The destruction of an aggregate of 15,000 tons of shipping besides troops and crews and a valuable cargo of sup plies is considered here as being a good showing for the raid made by the cruis ers. It is thought that it will have a moral effect and will besides necessarily divert a considerable section of Vice Admiral Togo's fleet. Strategy Is Criticised. Liao Yang, June 22. For the first time since the beginning of the war, General Kuropatkin has taken personal direction of the operations, and in con sequence of his having assumed the offensive results different from those following recent events are anticipated. The tactics of the Japanese are admired here, but their strategy is criticised, es pecially with regard to the battle of Vafandien. During the battle the in fantry extended over the field further than the eye could reach, one division covering six miles. Cossacks Return From Raid. Mukden, June 22. A raiding party of Cossacks, juBt returned from two months in Corea, bring veibal news re garding iLc Japanese posit inn, accord ing to which the Japanese forces on the Yalu river have become decidedly weak. owing to the confidence of the Japanese commanders, based on the results of the first fight. The Cossacks say tbat the inhabitants are well disposed to ward the Russians. Many Coreans constitute the rear guard. Liner Australia Wrecked. Melbourne. June 22. The Peninsula A Oriental liner Australia, inward bound, (truck on the rocks at Point Nepean today, and it is feared she will be a total loss. The passengers and crew were landed safely.

As a Result a Southern Oregon PamUy Cleans Up $25,000 In a Week. Grant's Pass A milkpan half full of gold 200 ounces valued at more than $4,000, was the sight that greeted scores of visitors at the Grant a rasa Banking & Tust company's bank one day last week. This represents about one-fifth of the amount taken from a ledge since 1U discovery. The discov ery was made by the 18-year-old son of David Biggs.

Salem In answer to an inquiry from Game Warden J. W. Baker, Attorney General Crawford has rendered an opinion in which he holds that the pheasant bill of 1903 did not become a law. Thts has been the generally ac cepted opinion. Although the bill was signed by the presiding officer of each house, approved by the governor and filed in the office of the secretary of state, the records show that it received only 30 votess in the house, or one less than a majority, and therefore it did not pass the house. Legislators Pick Out Seats. Salem Memtiers of the Oregon leg islature have already commenced se lecting their seats for the session of 1905, and about two-thirds of the seats have been assigned in each house. Sec retary of State Dunbar has a plat of the floor of each house, and has assign ed members to seats upon receiving requests from them.
