8t. Petersburg; Aug. 11. Public anx
iety regarding the fnte of Port Arthur
squadron which has reached the highest
pitch remained unrelieved when the
people of St. Petersburg retired to
night. : j.
Reports from Tokio and Chef oo of
the sea fight which 'followed the depar
ture of the squadron are so conflicting
mid in-coneluHive 'that a strong hope
exists that the Russian ships have suc
ceeded in breaking through the Japan
eso fleet.
Indeed it . is rumored, late tonight
that the admiralty had received infor
matioif that the sqjuadroii had passed
beyond Shantung promontory, which
would bring the squadron at least 150
mile to the 'southeast of I'ort Arthur
and into the Yellow. Hea.
Although unable to confirm this ru
mor, the Associated a reus learns that
the family of lieutenant Smirnoff,; an
officer of the battleship Czarevitch,
this evening received a telegram from
him dated at Tsingehau today.
The mewige contained only two
wyds, which were ' Alive; embraces."
Tsingchuu Is 100 miles southwest of
;hefoo in the province of Shantung, at
the entrance to Kiachau Day. Receipt
of this telegram might be construed. as
h partial confirmation of the rumor
that the. squadron had reached the open
tea beyond Shantung. In no other way
can 1ieut. Smirnoff's family explain
tho message from- Tsingehau.

Tho Japanese Are Victorous.
Meanwhile the Japaneso destroyers
had their searchlights turned on the
Eussian ship. From tho deck of the
light-ship the observers could see this
act which was followed by ; the shoot
ing of rifles nnd salre strokes and the
Russians jumping overboard.) The flgbt-

without delay.
tention to tho remark tliat a now one
has appeared over the horizon.
The Portland and West $ide Kail
road is one more, or if that is not the
name by which it will be known, it is
near enough the name for tho present
discussion of tho proposition.
Its promoter, Mr. UaUentine, was in
tho city yesterday, but like tho Irish
man's fl-a, the writer, nor any of his
able assistants-were able to put their
eyes, let alone their fin ire rs on him.
The writer learned that he was not
in Halem because' Salem-was considered
a healthful summer resort alone, but
for other reasons, some mentionab.e
and some otherwise.
One of the-principal reasons, it is
said by jxrsons who seem to known,
was that Mr. Hallentlnc wants to build
an electric railway from Salem to Port
land via Huttoville and the West Hide.
Mr. Itnllentinc was" prepared to tile
the7 compuny's crtieles of .Incorpora
tion a few days since, but there was
some hifeh in the proceedings owing
to a difference in the -understanding of
tho corporation tax lawNwit the result
that the articles had to" be again sent
to the Kast. They were taken by a
gentleman wdl known in Oregon rail
road circles, who is said to have a deep
interest in the success of this scheme,
and hn is said to have fallen siek,'nnd
thereby .to havo , been delayed. This
gentleman is none other, it is reported,
than the late. president of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company, Mr.
C. J. Smith. .
It is said that Mr. Smith's friends
and Mr. Bsllentlne 's friends also have
tho money to their . undertaking and
that there is no doubt at all that they
mean bus is ess, and that they will con
struct, the roal and that as soon as.it
is possible to secure the right of way
and get the snrveys. grade and tics to
gether with the rails.
It is said that this company was real
ly ready to get into the field before the
Portland and Southern, but that some
thing interfered and that it has been
neiayeci lor various reasons. However,
tbo company js laying out its bno
through one of the richest districts in
the world, and one capable of support
ing a great population, and there, is no
doubt at all to any one that has studied
the inter-urban' question that there is
room for both systems and a good
many more in this wonderfully fertile
rttid' productive valley or the god.
Then this is not the, only railrcad
scheme that is till in the wind. , The
Willamette; Valley Electric Company
which- lias - aeenred right of way in
Lane and Benton counties has not ret
filed its paper. " Tn-esnmabr" waiting

Title te- Right of Way Grant Re
verts to Grantor in One Instance.
Tbo last obstacle the, objections of
Mr. Stephen Staiger toward tbe grant
ing of right , of way privileges across
his property for he projwwoil Portland
Southern liailway, according to Mr.
French, the ai-nt of the company, has
been removed and it is now up to the
company to get in and build the road
and fulfill its promises, at . least the
representations of Mr. French. It is
undorstood that an agreement has been
reached between Messrs. Staiger and
French whereby tho farmer agrees to
grant, the road right of way privileges
across his domain, but the terms of
this agreement- could not le learned
from an authoritative source last even
ing. , Now Mr. French is said to have
stated, there is only one party who is
lolding out against the project, the
owner of a very small tract of land
along the proposed route of the elec
tric railway but his objections are re
garded as being easily overcome and
not a menace to tho carrying out or
the plans of the project in- any sense
of the word. It is simply a matter or
a difference of opinion and will "in no
wise interfere with or delay the work
upon the project in the least.
In order that the titles to the right
of way may rest secure in the name of
Jhe Portland & - Southern lvlectric
Railway Company, according to tho
wording of at least one of the deeds
of grant which was delivered to Mr.
1a. H .Freneh yesterday afternoon, the
road between this city and Portland
must have lecn completed and in oper
ation on or before July 1, 1!0., unless
somo delay is oeasione.il for which the
company is not to beheld responsible,
otherwise tho title of this1 certain
piece of right of 'way reverts to the
grantor or his heirs end assigns.
In nearly every instance -where
grants of right -of way have been se
cured along the-route f the proposed
road, they have been given for a term
of three vears. and in the majority of
cases there are no provisos or stipsla
tions whereby the title reverts to the
crantor in the event the omnany does
not live up to the agreement as voiced
by Mr. French, the right of way agent.
