RACES WITH FIRE.
Oregon Trying to Reach Port at
Eureka.
C rescent C ity , Cal., Feb. 28.-—The
steamer Oregon, with a burning cargo,
left here today for Eureka, where she
will be beached. The Oregon was ac
companied from Crescent City by the
steamer Del Norte, Captain Payne, and
every effort will be made to reach
Eureka.
The Oregon has a heavy list and is
drawing about 20 feet or water. This
will make it difficult to tiike her over
the Humboldt bar. It is thought lier
cargo of general merchandise will tie
a total loss.
Fire broke out in the cargo of the
steamer Oregon, Wednesday evening,
when the ship was north of Crescent
City, on her voyage from San Francisco
to Portland. There were 56 passengers
on board the Oregon besides the crew.
According to a statement made today
by G A. Defries, a Portland photog
rapher, who was a cabin passenger, the
Oregon under the command of Captain
Fred Warner, was off Point St. George,
a few miles north of Crescent City,
when fire was discovered in her after
lower deck. Signals of distress were
at once made, and these brought the
collier Meteor promptly alongside.
The first thing considered by Captain
Warner was the comfort as well as the
safety of his passengers, and all of the
55 were at once transferred to the
Meteor, The Oregon was then turned
back in her course and headed -for
Crescent City, where it was determined
to beach her in the event of extreme
necessity.
Nee.ring Crescent City, the steamer
Del Norte was attracted by the signals
of distress that were still flying. The
Del Norte was at once headed toward
the Oregon, and within a few minutes
the passengers made another transfer,
this time to the Del Norte.
At the Circuit Court at Astoria, Judge
McBride denied the petition for an in
junction in the case of Jacob Kaium, of
Portland, vs. Normand Bros,, of Olney,
and gianted the petition for a temporary
ir junction in the suits brought by the
timber land syndicates against Clatsop
Comity and Sheriff Linville. The case
of Jacob Kaium vs. Normand Bros., was
brought tu restrain the defendents from
operating splash dams in the north fork
of the Claskanine River and to restrain
them from using that stream for float,

llHUiCBt.
S t . P e T k R hbiko , March 1.—Last even-
ing's news from Manchuria is ot the most
important nature, the Associated Press
dispatch from Mukden, which wastran .
■nitted at noon of Tuesday, indicating
that a general battle was beginning
along the wdiole ot the 10O miles of front
occupied by the two armies, General
Kuropatkin appears to have taken a leaf
out of Field Marshal Oyama’s book and
replied to General Kuroki's attack on the
Russian left by a counter attack on the
Japanese left, in which General Kaul-
bers’ initial su cess is (letter for the Rus.
sians than the success of General Grip-
penberg the Russian vanguard being es
tablished at the outskirts of Sandiapu.
At the same time General Kuro|>atkin
delivered a blow aga mst the Japanese
center, seizing a railroad bridge across
the Shakhe River.
These reports, therefore, give a more
hopeful aspect to the situation, as the
Russian army, though driven out of Da
pass, appears to have succeeded in stop
ping. at least for the moment, the furth
er advance of the Japanese eastward and.
beatan off the attack on the center.
The effect of yesterday’s developments
on General Kuropotkin's reported inten
tion to withdraw from the Shaklie is
I
problematical. Retirement in the face
of an enemy, which is extremely hazard
ous under any circumstances, is doubly
dangerous when the armiesare grappling
in a general engagement; but, if General
Kuroki succeeds in rolling up the Rus
sian left much further, the perilous ex
periment may become necessary. The
counterstrokes on the right and center
may lie possibly lie intended to cover the
withdrawal of trains and stores. If how
ever, General Kuropatkiu is determined
to stand and tight out the battle on the
lineup he has held during the Winter
and if he should be able to administer a
vigorous check to General Kuroki, he has
secured a good position for his second
move in the great game.
Russian Line is Pierced.
L ondon , March 1.—A dispatch to the
London Daily Telegraph from Yokoh
ama, dated yesterday, says that a great
battle is raging on the Shaklie River. A
general advance of the Japanese is in
progress and the Russian line is declared
to have been penetrated at a number of
places.
The Chuncliuses are declared to have
penetrated north of the Russian lines and
to have cut the railroad at several points.
Two bridges are said to have been blown
ut> by Japanese engineers who penetrated
the Russian lines.
THESE INDIANS ARE RICH.
a
Family of Ten Oangea Have
Annual Income of $200
Each.
an
The Osage Indians, according to Gen.
Pollock’s annual report, own over 800
acres of land for each man, woman ard
child, each receiving an annuity of over
$200. As an illustration, if an Indian
and his wife have eight children, the an
nual cash income of the family isover
$2,000.
Indian Agent Stephens, of the Crow
Creeks, reports that a serious nuisance
and detriment to progress is intertribal
visiting, demoralizing to the Indians.
Capt. Cornish, of the Uintah aDd
Ouray agency in Utah, complainsin his
report that there never has been any
settlement of the claim of the Uncom-
pahgre. White River and Southern Utes
on account of the cession of about
8.000,000 acres of land to the United
States under a treaty of 1880 In consid
eration of certain benefits. The treaty
required that the land should be sub
ject to cash entry only and that the pro
ceeds after reimbursement to the
I nited States for sums appropriated
and set aside in the Ute act and paying
for lands which might be ceded to the
Utes by the United States, outside of
their reservation at $1.25 per acre,
should be deposited to their credit in
the treasury, the interest payable to the
Utes annually with the rest of theiran-
nuity money. This claim is still un
settled.
STUPIDITY OF A WASP.
A«
Instance Which Goce to show
That Animal Instinct Is
Not Infallible.
Among the things which are man
aged differently on the two
of
the channel there is one in which we
in England may fairly claim to have
the advantage of a better method. This
is in the mailer of public benefactions.
Here, rich men like Lord lveagli may
give out of their plenty to any society
they please, old or new, with restric
tions, except, of course, the usual tech
nicalities when the beneficence takes
the form of clearing open spaces of
dealing with property. But in France
the Journal des Débats complains that
would-be benefactors have no such free
hand, and the restrictions of red tape
stifle a good many charitable impulses,
sats the Westminster Gazette.
The patriotic Frenchman, according
to the Journal des Delvats, if he wishes
to devote some of his wealth to the pub
lic weal, must first apply to parlia
ment for leave in case lus gift is to
increase the funds of anyVharitable
society already existing. But if he de
sires to initiate a scheme of has own
he must go to the minister of the in
terior for permission. In neither case
will he have any voice ia the organiza
tion or working of the committee
formed to control his gift. In aildi-
tion to these restrictions, it seems that
the minister of finance steps in and
takes about ten per cent, of the sum
for the exchequer. This is certainly
not the way to encourage the public
benefactor, whose path of generosity
should be made as smooth as possible.
SECOND-HAND SHOES.
Extensive Repairs May Be Made and
Yet They May Be If ad for
Very l ittle Money.
A sign
_ banging in front of a shoe-
maker’s shop where second-hand shoes
were sold had upon it these words:
“Second-Hand Shoes with New Uppers.”
It seamed almost that a pair of sec
ond-hand shoes w ith new uppers would
be practically uew shoes, but inquiry
showed that this impression was not
warranted by the facts. There is a
good deal of fresh material in a pair
of shoes thus repaired, but there is» also
left a good deal of the old, says th-e
New York Sun.
The new upper thus put in is a new
vamp, the front part of the upper; the
old counter, or back part of the shoe,
still remains.
It is a familiar fact
that while the counter fnay break
down or wear out or get a hole in it
somehow, it is much more likely to
stay sound and good; it is the front that
cracks and breaks. And so in put*
ting second-hand shoes in order new
vamps are sometimes put in. But while
such a shoe, which has also been soled
and heeled, might easily be described
as having undergone extensive repairs»
it would be far from wholly new. There
would remain, besides the old counter,
the shank and the,inner sole, and the
geireral shape and framework of the
shoe, and upon these the repairs could-
be made. Second-hand shoes bring va
rious prices, depending on their orig
inal quality and their condition; a pair
of second-hand shoes, resoled and re
heeled and with new uppers, can be
bought for as little as a dollar.
A SPANISH CABALLERO.
An Imlnarr Which Shows There That
Wot All Spaniards Look a
Sense of Honor.

An incident, told by a correspondent
of Harper’s Weekly, who writes from
Manila, shows that there are Spaniard«
who possess w hat Burke calls “the chas
tity of honor.”
In the middle of the grounds stand
Gen. Anderson’s headquarters. As we
went up the steps a tall man, rather
shabbily dressed, preceded us.
We
noticed his military bearing, and were
told that he was the captain of orre of
the Spanish men-of-war, which lay with
projecting spars at the bottom of Ca
vite harbor. Following his footsteps
we of necessity overheard what he said
to the general’s aid:
“Señor, I borrowed some time ago
$200 from Admiral Dewey to pay oft’
my men. I have come to repay the
debt.”
He turned bis profile toward us, and
we noticed how thin he looked, lie

he counted out the Spanish bills, and
turned to go.
“Will you not take a receipt?” asked
the aid of Gen. Anderson.
“Never from an officer.” answered the
gray-haired old gentleman, with a
courtly, old-fashioned bow.
He at least is a true Hpanish cab
allero.
