Japanese squadron lias raptured four Russian torpedo boats at 1'oft Arthur by using the Russian sig nals. This dispatch appears to eon firm the reports from various quarters of a fresh attaek on Port Arthur by the Japanese. - The report reached Nagasaki from fheefoo and it' adds that the Russian crews of the four torpedo boats have Wn transferred. No other news of this attaek has been received in London hut the Cheefoo correspondent . of the Morning Post, in a dispatch, dated February 22, says the statement is fur rent there that the Japanese torpedo hout destroyers in tbe attaek on Port Arthur, on February 14, sunk or dam aged two Russian battleships, in addi tion to the torpedo boat, already re ported. It is possible, therefore, the report of the Telegraph s Nagasaki eorresond cnt.also refers to the earlier attaek.

It is believed that while the sea pow er of Russia at Vladivostock ia intact the Japanese will not attempt to land on the eastern coast of Corea. As an evidence that Japan's intention is wor thy of note her crnisers busy patrolling toward Northwest Corea and she is not landing artillery at Chemulpo.

SUDDEN DEATH FRED WALLLNO CXAIMED BY THE OEIM BEAPEB AFTEK A SHORT ILLNESS. Blood Poison Caused by Erysipelas of Bone Defied all Efforts of Physicians and Friends Slight Injury of Left Hand Received at Play the Origin Entire Neighborhood Mourns. With only a few hours' notice anl scarcely a realization' that he had been injured, the young life of Fred Walling the 10 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Walling of Lincoln, was suddenly snuffed out. and a cold corpse is all that temains of the bright, jolly young man, the apple of his mother's eye, and the pride of the whole fami ly. It all happened so suddeuly that it seemed they could not . realize its meaning until death had claimed its victim, and 4 hen the mother was pros trated with grief, and now lies on the verge of a nervous collapse. Fred was attending school at Lincoln and while playing ' shinny " last Tue day received a blow on the left hand which bruised and itkinned the knuckle of the first finger. For a few days noth ing was thought of the injnry and af ter it did i.egin to swell and become painful, he being of courageous dispo sition, would not eomplain, especially as the injury was received while play ing, i Friday the family became alarmed and sent for Dr. J. N. Smith, who per formed a surgical operation. - Saturday evening the arm began to swell and the alarming symptoms were telephoned to the physician, and when he arrived Sunday morning he found that erysip elas of the bone had set in and th it there was practically no hope for his recovery. ... In spite of all effort the fatal gangrene slowly spread until yes terday morning when it had reached the body, and there was no hope for saving his life, even by amputating the limb. - - i ; . ; The dreadfut news was gently broken to the dying boy by his sobbing mother but cheerful to the last and still anx ious to protect his mother from bur dens of sorrow or trouble as he had al ways been, he lost sight of himself in Ver suffering and replied "Don't cry, 1 am ready to die, and am going to a better land.' - r At two o'clock in the afternoon his spirit took its flight, : and even in hi last hoar, enduring, the terrible agony of the disease, his only, thjnght was of bis mother, and bit last word was a word of comfort to her. Deceased was born on the old home stead near Zena, February 8, 18SS and spent his short life in the neighborhood where he was universally loved and ad mired as are few boys of bis age. H was preeminently mother's boy," be ing the, eldest, ami his greatest aim In life seemed to- have been to protect her from care, and to perform her burdens and tasks. On account - of his dutiful habits and loving disposition he was of ten spoken of as a model young man worthy of emulation; and-- hjs beroie words and actions on his dying bed have seemed to make his memory cherished almost ; reverently by the loved ones and large circle of friends. The funeral services will be held at the Spring Valley Presbyterian church at 2 p'cloek Wednesday afternoon eon ducted by Bev. D. H. Leach, and the mortal remains will be consigned to their final resting place in the Zena cemetery. 1 k , Arno Crossan went to Portland on tbe delayed overland train last even ing for a few days visit. :" Miss.

HEAVY EXPORTS MOVEMENT OF HOPS TO EUROPE FAR MORE RAPID THAN ' . LAST YEAR. Exports Heavier and Less Imporst Than Last Year With Shortage Ex isting Is Strengthening Position of . Speculators and 4 Temporary With drawal of Dealers From the Market Has Little Effect. The hop market is so quiet and has been go for the past few days, that it is absolutely impossible to say any thing in regard to it except to spec ulate on the cause. The growers being out of hops can sit idly by and watch events with great enjoyment. It is simply a war between brewers and dealers, and few people liave any fears as to the ultimate outcome. The exports and imports at the port of New York for the week ended Feb ruary 12 were as follows: Dom. Expt. 4 Bee. Eurp. Impt. Week ended Feb. 12. -1,897 1,290 133 Corresponding , wk. last year .. ., 4.. 5,142 14.1 255 Total since Sept. 1 . .14,190 39,60 3827 Same period last yr. 60,809 32,929 999S The alwive table given by the Wa terville Times, which may be consid ered reliable, will probably prove "of interest, as showing the true condition of the export market. The exports for the week ending February. 12 were 129T) as compared with only 145 bales for the correspond ing week of last year, and on the oth er hand, the imports were less by 122 braes than for the corresponding week of last year. Thus it may be Keen that the movement to Europe is niu 11 more, rapid at the present time. The total exports since September 1 .have been 39,60 bales and the imjKrts dur ing the same period only 3.H27. By comparison it will be seen that the ex ports have been 5,751 bales -greater than for the same period last year, while the imports" have been 0,171 less making a total loss in the United Htates of available hojm 12.922 bales and it is reasonable to supNse that the same condition will exist for the remainder of the' season. Germany has no hops to Fjare for export this year, except for exorbitant prices, anil on tne other baud England possesses a shortage which will be fillefl from the stock in' this country if possible. In previous nnrnbers of the Statesman the existing shortage ha leen shown, and this tendency to export largely will have the effect of increaslnjj'that shortage. ' The refusal of brewers to buy is only a big bluff, such-a has been tried sev eral times, and which has worked at times, but with the preset t conditions and the stocks ?n tbe hands of the dealers, what., difference does It make in tbe final outcome if the brewera ib withdraw from the market for a few days, o long as it is known that a shortage exists and they are not sup plied. Watervule Market. C. H. Curtis sold his Vernon bops i5 bales, this week at 35 cents. There are left in this town only the following lots: Marshall Williams, - f2 ' bale; Walter J. Bennett, 19; Edward Harris, 20; and Parks Terry 20; a total -of 121 bales. If the middle of February ever before saw the hops of this town sold up as closely as that no one nere re members the year. i German Crop, 1903. Tbe German hop crop of 1903 is of ficially estimated at 211,201 metric quintals (46,561,837 pounds. ' against 227,636 metric quintals t,a0,185,133 pounds) in 1902. The area in 1903 was 36,667 hectares (90,604 acres) against 36,731 hectares 90,762 acres) in 1902L The area devcted to this erop bas, been steadily diminishing since 1885, in which year it amounted to 47,375 hect ares 17,064 acres), or 10, 70S hectares (26,459 i acres) more than last v year. Compared with the area in 1SS5 last year's area shows a reduction 'of 22.6 per cent. ..- .. . . . ; Pleased With Sentiment .

WAS A SUCCESS PRESIDENT J. IL COLEMAN AD DRESSES A SMALL BUT mGII LY APPRECIATIVE AU DIENCE. Speaks for an 'Hour Upon the Subject "Divine i Providence in America and His Address , Covered the Period From the Landing of thWPjSgrlms to the Present Day.! "f - . Last night in the First M. K. church to- a smalt but appreciative audience President Coleman of Willamette, Uni versity, delivered a, lecture, a better than which has; never been hearl 1 Salem. His Subject was "Divine Prov idence in Amerieanyllistory " and for more than an hour and a half he held his auditors to the closest attention. Many times in the cours of the lecture he wsi interrupted by bursts of ap plause. Beginning with the r discovery of Anurica by Columbus in 1492 he traced the history of the nation down to tljje present day, pointing out numerous in stances where at critical innients the course of events was chang'd by inci dents nothing less than rniraeiilons. He first called attention t the jour ney of the Pilgrim Fathers to this coun try in ''search' of fredom when all the nations o Europe were sending out col inizing parties with mercenary ends in view; hnd the landing of t.hos Pil grims on the bleak and barren shores of Plymouth-' in the midst of winter, which, facts were the means of shaping the character, of the nation. He said it Was not accident which caused George. the Third to pursue the olicy which finally resulted in the colonies 1 triking, for independence. During the Revolrtion the power ot the Divine band was even more notice able. Three timer rain saved Green's armyj in the -South and the dense fog at Long Island not only saved Wash ington and his army, but the fate of the nation. He asked if it was fate which caused the mird of the great Na jwdeon to ;grasp the importance- of the ropire west of the Mississippi, to ac quire it for France and' then so shapeil events in Europe that he was compelled to sell it to the United States! Following on down the line he came to that greatest of all struggles, the Civil War, mentioning among other things the Merrimack arid the Monitor episode, and then said that - be who wished could say it was by accident that the Union army -drif ted into its position at Gettysburg, and that that interpid general Robert E Lee was there defeated and was prevented from invading the . North. . Coming dovrn to the present day he asked if Divine Providence might not have had a' band in so shaping Jthe course of events that the United States has so recently Came into possession of the islands, t Ex-GsVernor Geer in; a few well shosen remarks, which were very hap pily : received, introduced President Coleman, and at the close of tbe lee tu're Bfated, that, be could not say that be bad ever heard a better, one. Al though the audience ws a compara tively small one, the event was a com plete success from every other stand point. ' ." ; . .. HONORED AND FETED. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. ; 22.
