JAPANESE IN MANCHURIA RUSSIAN OFFICES ELUDES ASIAT - ' IT YANKEES AND BEINGS IMPORTANT INFORM ATION. JAP LOSSES REPORTED HEAVY Over 200,000 Soldiers of , the Mikado Are Now on the Pen-, " , 1 , insula, - v - Japanese - Commander Is Constantly Shifting the Columns of his Armies So As to Conceal His Real Purpose : Twenty Thousand Killed in One Day. ST. PETERSBURG, Juno 2.-Lieu-tenant Colonel Gourko, who succeeded in eluding the Japanese on the Liao Tung Peninsula, and reaching the. Rus sian headquarters at Mukden, is attach ed to the stall of General Fork, and was the. bearer of important informa tion regarding the fighting at Kincbou and the situation at Port Arthur. A long dispatch is now being deciphered at the war office. It probably contains the intelligence brought by Lieutenant Gourko and at least a portion of it will be given out. According to the information in pos wssmn of the general staff, the enemy has fire divisions, about 80,000 men, on the Liao Tung Peninsula, and at least seven divisions and seven reserve eorpa or about 12.",000 men, in Southern Man churia. Although the' impresison pre vailed among the members of the gener al staff that General Kuroki's purpose was to make feints to prevent General Kuropatkin from moving, but not to at tack him, until the result of the cam paign against Port Arthur is determin ed, there is now apparently more incli nation to think he will try a demonstra tion in force, which might result in a decisive engagement. The Japanese commander is constantly shifting his columns back and forth to conceal his real purpose, the lates reports received bing that ba has again abandoned Sai matsza, north of Feng Wang Cheng. All the reports received at General Kuropatkin 's headquarters ' from the Kwan Tung -Peninsula are increasing tho extent of the Japanese losses at Kincbou, one today making the number at about 20,000 men. Accurate reports of the Russian losses, as well as of the Russian f orces engaged, will - probably le brought by Lieutenant Colonel Gour ko to Mukden from Port Arthur. NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.

The doctor had been called to sec a sick child at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Ruble, who live on the Oak Grove road, about nine miles from Salem and on tho return trip, while descending a steep hill, known as the Chapman hill in Polk county, his team, of horses became frightened and started to run at a break-neck speeT.

THE CAMPAIGN NEARTNG AN END Judge Scott Replies to Representations Made Against Him by Polltl- , cal Opponents.' Issues of the Current Campaign Freely Discussed Records of the Two Great - Political Parties Compared Meet ings Are Characterized by Earnest ness and Good Humor. ; WOODBURN, June 2. The Marion eounty statesmen continued, their dis cussion of live issues of the current po litical campaign during a stop at Mills City. 5 The meeting was not largely at tended because of the farmers being very busy with their work. Mr. Settlemeier was the first speaker and said, among other things, that he bad no fear in answering Mr. Hucken stein's question regarding tho Lewis and Clark Fair appropriation. He aid he 'would certainly oppose any further appropriation of public money for the exposition. ; .'!;... Mr. Calvert was the next speaker, who still remembered a splendid dinner enjoyed in Scotts Mills ten years, ago. Mr. J. S. Richie, of Scotts Mills, also spoke. He said Marion county was out of debt and countyMaxcs wero lower. He bespoke for MrTlIermann the. sup port of the entire vote of tne party in Scotts Mills; said he felt that all the Republican candidates were good men and should have the full party votes. He felt that the Lewis and Clark Fair had been treated very liberally by the state of Oregon, and would favor no further appropriations. , More Appropriations Unnecessary. . Mr. J. G. Graham was glad to speak at the home of his friend Mr. Richie, and felt sure Mr. Richie would receive a largo vote in his own precinct. Mr. Graham said he believed the Lewis and Clark Fair wouhl prove a great thing in Oregon and for Oregon, but he did not think there would be any necessity for further appropriations for this fair. He declared his opposition to any fur ther appropriation, and said he favored the greatest possible economy in publie affairs. I - Hon. T. B. Kay then spoke" for the entire ticket, and entered into a general discussion of the work of the Legisla ture of which, he was a member. Mr. Kay turned to the general political con ditions and brought out a strong burst of, applause when he referred to the record of the Democratic party, and. to prices of farm products under Demo cratic national control, j. -. " ' Mr. Huckestein followed and spoke about when "Garfield and Arthur ran against Tilden and Hendricks." (His torians will all rememler thb!) Hucke stein saiil when he. got into tho Legis lature, he would secure the privileges of! the floor for Mr. .Kay. Ho then pro ceeded to discuss the corporation ques tion from the condemnatory standpoint Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Kay has satisfied all the people everywhere , he has spoken regarding the corporation law passed by the Legislature and the laying aside of the otter bills. ' Mr. Huckestein again rehashed his argument on this point, and read again from his little documents, even reading the large figures wbiri said j million as though they were important in this campaign. He says all the lobbyists came up and defeated these bills, but Mr. Kay proves that the defeat of the two bills was through the advice of the conservative aad business element ia the house and state government, including the secre tary of state. -. -. ; f ;;- , ; Mr. HockenStein: again pronounced his! eulogy on the remains of the sage of Champoeg. i , . .. : Partisan Enthusiasm. Mr. Hockenstein gathered np his pa per and newspaper clippings gave way to jMr. Corby, who said he was glad he did not expect to be carried into of fice on a wave of partisan enthusiasm. lie then attacked the .policy of the Republican party, saying especially that the republicans did not dre to reen actj the McKinley tariff, as though it waS not in effect now. . Mr. Corby then proceeded to a further i discussion of (the road matter from his view poiat. MrL Corby here howled a little more be cause much of the money, raised for founty roads had been spent ia machin ery which had been in use in one road district only. He howled some more al0ut the condition of Marion county's "repair' idea for relief. Admitted thit the old. system of building roads might not be the best system, bat -said the, trouble was almost entirely be cause the roads had 'not been drained properly. If elected, Mr. Corby would not undertake the defies of county road master, lie would attend to the county court matters, and let the road master rui the roads. For the tenth time on this canvass, Corby illustrated his posi tion by comparing reads to a fence fall ing into repair. He would always be repairing that fence, until he," felt he had a "good ready" to build a .new one. v; i :,'" x ; tie Was followed by Judge f?eott, wko cl-ised with a short peech and the can didates all retired to the hotel where Mrs. Ong had prepared the best dinner enjoyed on the entire campaign. Di rectly after dinner the "cavalcade took up! its march for tbe town of lit, Angel, where they were billed to speak at 2 . Speaking at Mt. AngeL i - . There was a goodly crowd at the hall to greet the speakers when they finally appeared to open , the meeting. , SL Mary 's band played on the streets, and later in the haU, and at 2:45 p. nu'Mr. A. Huckeastein was introduced. His speech was oa. more or less ; the same lines as at former points. He was fol lowed by Mr. Grant Corby, who said th corporations were receiving many bene fits from the Lewis and Clark fair, and that they should paybe expense of it, and as he. was lighting corporations aad trusts he was going to stand On it . He then reverted to his examination1 of Judge Scott's record, ne said the fact that taxes had not been reduced Was evidenced by the fact that when.-one went to pay his ttaxes they were found to be about as much as before. He did not allow that it made any dijferenee whether it was for state levy or county levy. . He then attaeked Judge 8cott for having had the eounty books exam ined by expert bookkeepers j complain ed again about tho road master hav ing been employed by the county court, it seemed peculiar to him. that on the arrival of Mr. Corby in various pre cincts he encountered the people full of expectation from promises of. work to be done, made just before he arrived there! Mr. Corby said he had been tra veling over" muddy roads" during this Campaign, but .wondered how all. the Eeople had been put on their good be avior by the county court. Mr. Corby f gain,, referred to the Champoeg hill which he said was used by the farm ers to "haul down hill" only, and came back with their wagons "empty." Mr. (jorby evidently forgets that these far mers are not yet under a democratic ad ministration, and that their machinery, grain bags, and other supplies were ne cessarily haoled up that MIL He also Referred to his proposed schemes in the matter of county administration, if he jvere elected. He said he would; not promise anythinig especial to the citi zens of Mt. Angel. lie would only Has any reader of this paper $100 or $1000, or not more than j $3000, with which he or she desires to buy preferred stock paying now 6 per cent., and which will likely - pay double this before Ion?, and still more in the course of time ?

Speak at Woodbnrn. The candidates gathered at" Wood burn, the home of Congressional Chair man Tooze, and a good crowd met them at the Association halL A heavy rain undoubtedly kept a good many away from the meeting, but the hall was com fortably filled. - Among those present at the meeting were: Hon. Til 'Font, of this cityj Hon. J. II. Voorhia, ex-members of the Ore gon legislature, and many other promi nent people. . , Hon. T. B. Kay was the first speaker introduced by Chairman Vaughan, who presided, and" after paying deserving tributes to all the candidates on the Re publican ticket, he proceeded to a dis cussion of the various matters nnder con sideration in the joint canvass. Mr. Kav reviewed the whole .question of legislation proposed, passed and de feated at the past sessions of the leg islature. He especially referred to his opposition to the Phelps tax law, which be had fought as dangerous legislation. He said the bill was passed found de fective, and a special session of the leg islature was made necessary to repeal it. His reference to his opposition to the clerk hiro ''graft" ia the ; legislature brought forth a-fnll burst of applaaw?. As the evening wore on the hall filled vp, and when Mr. Kay had finished every seat in" the hall was ttakeo. : In touching oa the corporation law mat ters Mr. Kay denied that he had failed to vote for the Harris and Da vey bills for personal reasons, because neither of the two bills mentioned affected him nor his bnsines. - i .

PANIC FOLLOWS THE TRAGEDIES OFFICERS DECLINE TO GiyE DE TAILS OF SHOCKING CRIMES - BUT ARE INVESTIGATING. Murderer Believed to be a Maniac With Homicidal Tendecies Stabs Victims in. the Back then Literally ' Hacks their Body to Piece. ; BUBLIN TON, VT, June 2. The sol diers at Fort Ethan Allen aro in a state of absolute panic over three mysterious murders in their ranks and a fourth at tack os n infantryman. The latter was found this morning lying from his wounds. j " . The details of the. murders are kept secret by the officers, who decline also to give the names of the dead. They are today conducting a searching investi gation and going oyer every scrap of evidence, step by step, in the hope that the murderer can be captured. ; No soldier is allowed to leave the res- ervation on any pretext whatever. Gen era! Corbin is expected to take personal charge of the inquiry. Mt is believed that a homicidal maniac possibly one of the soldiers, is at lib erty, and i cunningly conceal his iden tity. His metho of killing apparently is to stab his Victim in the back. The wounded infantryman says that he was walking past a gardhouse when with- OREGON out the least warning, or noise, he' felt a knife plungnd into his bark and knew no more. After falling he was repcat erly stabbed, Iwt his assailant was evi dently frightened away before complet ing his crime. j This latter supposition is borne out l7 the faet that the three men murdered were literally hacked to pieces and, mu tilated almost beyond recognition.! It is this feature which makes it almost eertatin that the work is that of a ma niac CROSSED THE CASCADES. First to Come Over, the Lebanon Route - This Tear, Slaking Dangerous Trip. M. 3. Shrock and A. Misliler arrived ia Salem yesterday, having made the perilous trip over the Cascades by way of the' Lebanon route. i Mr. Sbrock liycs at Hubbard. II has been looking: at the country and canvassing. and waiting for the Pacific Homestead, the farm paper of this city, traveling in Idaho and Eastern Wash ington and! Oregon. Mr. tShrock was joined by Mr.'Mishler, a boj-bood friend from an Eastern state, at Prineville, and the two proceeded to Winters, Crok county, on ,t lie other side of the Cas cades, with i Mr. . Bhrock's team and light rwggy. ! At Sisters the people told them they might as well turn back, for it would be impossible for them to get over the mounttains. . But Mr. Hhrock and .Mr. Mi shier had made ut their minds to come through if possilde, an-1 they said they would go as far as they could anil if they failed to get ever they would -retura to Sisters and wait for the snow to melt and the toll road to be clear!. ' They staftel from Sisters last Satur day ar.orning. They , got nearly to the summit that - day, and camped in a place they found that was bare of snow. They!r then cut poles and put Tanners nnd?r their buggy for the, snow, and came through the deepest of it on Sun day, and fonad another bare place for camping On Monday they reached Pish Lake, but there tbey were obliged to leave the boggy and proeed out to Lebaaoa on horseback. From Fish Iake out they eonntel 193 trees and logs ia the road, r the place where the ought to be. These trees in the road were the obstacles to buggy traveling, even on runners.- They found the snow from four to twelve feet deep for about eighteen mil on the summit, or rather on the two sides of ithe summit. Where the snowwas so deep, with their bug?y on runners, they could go over the logs, some of them without seeing them. At points where' there was no, snow, , they dug trenches under some of the logs, built up brush heaps on each side to get over others, and limbed, up or down the sides of. the mountatins to get arouul others.., ..';? . . It is scarcely necessary to say . that although they traveled over a toll road, they jiaid no toll, and the road boss they met at work clearing the road did not protest vigorously when they would send in their bill for helping to clear the road for him. ' In two or three weeks, when the road is clear, Mr. Shroekl wiy go back to Fish Lake and get his buggy. Neither Mr. Shrock nor Mr. Mishler is hankering, to be the first to cross the Cascades over the Lebanon route in future years. One trip of that kind is enough for them. j ' : MUSIC CHARMS MISS EVEXEKE CALBREATH, QIFT. ED MUSICIAN, GIVES PIANO RECITAL AT OPERA j r !..' ' HOUSE.

At each ap pearance, Miss Harris was encored, and gracefully responded with popular selections. : Miss Helen Calbrfafh sang several se lections in her best- voice, being accom panied by Mis Evelene.
