that assaults are being continued. The

, In a communication received from

makes a strong appeal to all .the eities
that sent delegate to the Oregon De

ganization so that the work that was so
successfully begun at Portland recently
shall be carried on for the good of the
stato in general. Following are some

To make the Oregon Development

In German Harbor. ''
. Tsing Taui Aug. J;. Tho Russian
Imtfleship Ca'revitch and three torpe
do loat destroyers are now in the hands
of the local German Government for re
pairs, but it is improbable that these
vessels will fight again in this war. it
is thought here that if the Kussians
persist repairing their ships they will
eventually have to dismantle them be
cause of a vaxtlv suerior Japanese
force which is wafting for them out
side the harlsir. According to the reg
ulations which govern situations such
as the one existing here, the destroyers
will not be permitted to leave in, body
but will have to go out at intervals of
six hours. It is believed here that the
Russian cruisers Pa Had and Diana
havo reached Vladivostok. r
Where Is Port Arthur Fleet?, H
St. Petersburg. Aug. 15. The exact
whereabouts of the Port Arthur bat
tleships is still a mystery on which
hinges the Hussian naval fortunes in
tho far Kast. Telegrams reporting them
biwk at Port Arthur have not leen
confirmed up, to this hour. It is ap
parent, that Admiral Toiro either cannjt
or will not say where they have gone.
Tho Admiralty officials declare they xit
not know, but they refuse to believe
that out of five battleships not a single
one managed to break through to Vlad
ivostok. It is more than probable-that
Witheoft liefore going out fixed the
rendezvous to which the vessel would
proceed if separated. Tho most -likely
point bein'g between Shanghai and Kin
siu (most southerly of the three -principal
islands of Japan) which is on a
circular route to Vladivostok. The Cz.ir
evltch was evidently heading for this
point when she was eomelled by dam
ages sustained to turn aside and enter
Singtau. Persistent reports that Hus
sian vessels i were coaling from colliers
in these waters confirm tho hypothesis
that they had agreed to rendezvous .o

Brief History of Crime.
All who are familiar with this crimo
concede it to have been one of the most
heinous and cold-blooded in the history
of the state. During the last year-of
Gov.- Geer's term in office a petition
was circulated arid presented to. hint
for the pardon of! Green, but after hav-?
ing investigated the circumstances sur
rounding the easi it was turned down..
The aged mother of Green resides in
this city and is in comparatively desti
tute circumstances, and, it is presumed,
that it is on her account that thn sec
ond petition is being circulated if such
is tho case. ' :;
The details of tho history of this
crime aro revolting in tho extreme.
According to 'Green's own statement
