OFFENSE X Because Secretary Hay Did Not Wait For Their Reply To His Note Japanese Officially Deny Many Reports Sent Out by the Russians ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 13. A tel egram received here from Port Arthur nay the Japanese have eaptured the Okhotsk-Kamchatka Company's steam ers Kolik and Bobrik. 8T. PETERSBURG,- Feb. 18. -Information contained in the press di pate hw -from- Washington; that Secre tary Hay had announced the negotia tion in connection with his note to the powers on the subject of the integ rity of (,'hina to be closed without aw'ajting Russia's formal response came as a surprise to the official circles here.1. An official of the foreign office, with whom a representative of the As sociated Press talked on this matter, appeared to be rather non-plussed. "If this is true, it has not changed the Russian program. Not to await Russia's reply might, however, offend Russia's susceptibilities and tend still further to increase the feeling already existing here in certain quarters, that t be United States is not friendly to Russia. ' "In flus connection, there is no doubt that the government feels somewhat embarrassed by the desire of the United .States to install consuls in. the open ports of Manchuria immediately. The government does not like to be placed in a position of putting obstacles in the way, but that entire territory is now under military control, and these posts would be within the sphere of the war operations. "The Russian reply to Secretary Hay's note is practically ready and will be handed to Ambassador" McCor ijiick in a day or two, possibly tomor row." In diplomatic circles here, Secretary Hay's action is considered a fine stroke MACHINERY - HAS ARRIVED. CMxens Light & Traction Company Now Prepared to Improve .

According to the story, this act was intended as a feint to cover up the lauding at Talien Wan Bay, but lit failed because the Russian guns wera placed with great foresight to command that shore. Simply Taken Tor Granted. Washington, Feb.: 18. On Tuesday last, the Associated Press quoted a state -department official as stating then would be no more notes exchang ed at present relative to the neutraliza tion of China, as the powers having accepted and the state department felt the chapter to te closed. This is evi dently": the information referred to as causing surprise in St. Petersburg. Russia's adherence to the principle of the Hay. note , was regarded several lays ago as assured, although no for mal response from the Czar's govern ment had been received. Russian Report Denied.

A long of ficial dispatch from Viceroy Alexieff recounting the details of the fight of February 9 at Port Arthur, was given out today. In f he course of the report he says: . "It is still difficult to ascertain the result of the buttle, but accorSing to observations made by our ships it may be assumed several vessels of the ene my's fleet sustained damages,' which explains why' they avoided further fighting, altuough .they . were much su perior" to us in strength. j. "According to the. reports of com manders,' the men fought exceedingly well." The Admiral concludes: "In announcing the above to your Majesty, ' I am pleased to . be able to add the naval and land forces in the far East are inspired by the most heart: felt wish to meet: their insolent foes breast to breast in order to fill their duty in sight of their adored ruler, and firm and' unshakable, to fight for the honor and glory of. their beloved fath erland."'

The reason for tljie postponement are not known. j I Fired on by Russians. Shanghai, Feb. 18. The British steamer Hsi Ping, from China Wang Tao for Shanghai, arrived here today. The captain reports that she was fired upon by the Russian ships and forts when seeking shelter in the outer roadstead of Port Arthur, and that she was then ordered to Dainy, where she was detained for four days, in spite of the captain's protest. The Russian gunboat Mandjur has not gone up the river to be dismantled as jreported. She remains sti Shanghai in defiance of the orders of the chi-i nese officials to leave the port. : . - . Assembling in Force- : Tokio, Feb. lS.-r-The reports that hare been sent out to the effect that Russian troops have crossed the Yula river and are moving south with the object of seizing Ping Yan are de clared to be unfounded. Late relialJe reports from Wiju state that the Rus sians are assembling in- force on the north side of the Yalu, but they have not attempted to cross the river or move further south. HE LEFT DEBTS L, C. EEASONEB SUDDENLY DISAP P EARED FEBRUARY 2 LEAV-INO- ACCOUNTS OF $1000. Still Owes $600 for Bent on Express Wagons and Paid no Bills for Labor Feed or Board for Five Months Past He Is Supposed to Have Gambled Hearily. It is probable that unless L. C, Rea soned, who disappeared sdsuddenly a few weeks ago is forcibly brought back to Halem to face his creditors his smiling vsage will never again be seen in this eity, much as be will be missed. The theory that he has met with foul play has long since been abandoned, or that he will again appear ana mane explanations. City Marshal D. W. Gib son, who investigated the case decided that he simp.y disappeared, witn all pi the money he could gather together and had for five months been making prep arations for the sodden departure. He found that although Beasoner was run ning a good business and daily handled a goodly sura of cash, he had not for mhOii taLI a dollar of indebted ness, but so far as the Chief was able to learn in his investigations he did nothing which would give an opportun ity to issue a warrant for his arrest, and thus bring him back to the city. The property of the . "Willamette Transfer Company, which is owned by J. Connor, proprietor of the Willamette Hotel, was leased by ) Beasoner for a percentage of the net1 receipts and for five months Mr. Connor has received nothing, the bill amounting to about $600. Beside this the feed bills, and blacksmith bills were not paiu, and it is likely that the loss of these will also fall on Connor. Beside the acconnt held by Connor Chief Gibson found $250 in small bills outstanding, and it is thought his liabilities amount ; to at least $1000. It is elaimed that he cob lected monev from one of the nursery companies of the city for the payment of freight, and after his disappearance it was discovered that the money had not been paid over. , V f No one thinks he took anything like that amount of money with him, or per haps any money at all, more than enough to get out o,town with, as he was a man of profligate habits and it knows to have lost heavily at cards just before his disappearance. Evi dently, he i 'lunged, 1 beyond his-jleptbj and losing constantly, dispaired of ever being able to pay; his debtsj and ran away. Among the debts which he left are, five months' board which Landlord Clark of the Leonard has been com pelled to charge to profit and : 'loss, principally loss, and the wages of his truck drivers, j 'il HASN'T WEIGHED ANCHOB.

Lamb, of this city, which occurred at his home, on High street, at 3:15 o?clock yester day afternoon, , as a result of - a long illness of dropsy of the heart, without doubt witnessed the passing away of one of the best known and universally liked members of the printing frater nity in the state of Oregon, or perhaps the Pacific Coast, if , not the United States, for there is scarcely a printing office of any importance in the largest cities of the United States in which he t f A THE LATE EDWARD I.

Always of a kindly and jovial dispo sition, generous to a fault and ever ready with his purse, word or dvd, to extend succor or assistance to a brother in need, there is not a soul whom will steak nought but a kindly word in his reiiiembr.iace, nor is there a single one who knew him, and to know him was to1 be his friend, who will not regret very deeply to learn of his demise, anil there are many who will be surprised to learn of his death. Although ! he has been a sufferer of the dreadfulmalady, of which he was afflicted for more than three months lefore death came to relieve him of its tortures, he did not take to his bed until three days ago, and at that time his suffering be came so intense and his case' so hope less, that he only lingered along under the influence of opiates until the hour stated above. Deceased was -' born in Manchester, New Hampshire, in the year IK.'Sa, and was, therefore, at the time of his death, 4$ years of age. He came to Oregon wbea but a mere boy, and settled in Portland. . lie at nrst started in to sell papers fer tho Oregonian, and later started in to learn the printer's trade. He began upon the Catholic Sentinel and then with the Oregonian. In 18'.2 he started East and worked for some time in. the government printing office, and then, began a tour of the principal cities of the Union, and plied his trade Very successfully in pearly all of them.
