K IB lei THE ORIENTAL NEWS, Bad Outlook For England In the Far East, RUSSIA WILL CONCEDE NOTHING England Must Acquiesce Or fight Russia New Yomc, Feb. 2 A Herald dls. patch from London bays: Therein startling news In the Dally Telepraph today from St Petersburg. This paper's correspondent there has had Interviews with a Russaln Ad' miral now chief of squadron, .and with eminent Russian diplomatist. Their declarations, therefore, If true have slml-olllclal weight. Practically the declarations it contains amount to a menace on the part of Russia towards England, and unless England chooses toacqulecc In the policy being-pursued by Russia in the far East, war is ln evltable.If the dispatch is nota'Take" Russia has thrown down the gauntlet. The dispatch follews: "St Petersburg, Saturday .1 have had a conversation with a Rus sian admiral who lias been appointed to the Post of a chief of squadron, con cerning the far East. This ollllcer, in the course of hls remarks, said: 'Nearly the whole of the marine forces of Russia will be dispatched to the far East, for It is necessary for Russia to place herself In a posi tion of naval strength in Chinese waters equal to that of Great Britain. "Russia will not permit the open ing of a new port, either at port Ar thur or at Tallen Wan. We shall soon see that Germay will say the same with regard to Kiao Ohou and the bay Sarnsah, while France will prevent the -opening of Slam gulf and Nan king as free ports. Russia, France and Germany-will permit no European power to carry out any such attempt upon their interet upon the pretext of encouraging (Jhl no-European trade, for under that condition the power In question will become the real mistress of China, directing both her politics and finances." "I also called upon a celebrted Rus sian diplomatist, who said: 'The con dition of the loan of 2,000.000 which England has offered to the Chinese goyerment are directed principally against the interests of Russia and France, and for this reason our am bassador at Peking will, together with his French colleague, struggle to prevent China from accepting the British overtures. By the opening of Tallen Wan as a free port.the value ol Port Arthur as a naval station would be diminished. In the spring Great Baitaln will no longer .occupy herself with the question, and will certainly not take the offensive, find ing, as she will the necessity of de voting her strength and energy to In dia, as a revolt infinitely more serious than the Sepoy mutiny is about to break out. , Then Russia will be able without difficulty to penetrate through Afgan Istan to the Indian posessions of Great Britain, to whom she will dic tate terms. We haye enough troops and well fortified frontiers with out posts In the rear reseryes, by railways and telegraphs, and we could In the course of a few days place upon Af ganlstan frontier an army or 100,000 men. You perceive that all the chances arc on our side and we do not fear the threats of England.'" More Demands, Peicino, Feb 2, Germany has de manded furthur concessions In the shape of railroads in the Shantung peninsula as a compensation for the assassination of sailor, Schultz, who was murdered by a Chinese mob while on sentry duty, Port Au Prince.

Portland, Or., Feb. 2 The con vention of the state league of Repub licans met In the armory, on 9th sircei. Cant II. L. Wells. Walter L. Toozo and J. B. Eddy were appointed sec retaries. The chair appointed the creden tials committee as follews: A. J. Johnson, of Linn: II. S. Hudson, of Washington; II. Dufur, of Washing ton, and F. W. Matthews, of Multl nomali. This committee retired to room 101, Perkins hotel, where It at once entered upon Its labors. The league then adjourned at 2 p. m. At 2:30 o'clock the convention again met, when the chair announced that the committee on credentials would not be ready to reportunnl 4 p. m. At this Juncture Wallace McCamont introduced the following resolution, after making a motion that it be adopted In lieu of any other resolution and that no committee on resolutions be appeinted: "Whereas. The paramount Issue which Is now before the American people, dividing political parties and engrossing tho attention of all patrio tic citizens, is the financial question, therefore be It "Resolved, That this league of Re publican clubs cordially approves and rcaillrni'J Its belief in the financial plank of the last Republican national convention, and be It further "Resolved, That wo accept and ap prove of the speech,' of President Mc Klnley at New 'York on the 27th of January, 1808, as a. correct exposition of that plank and the monetary policy of tho Itepubllcan partiyr "Resolyed. That we aro In hearty accord with the administration and Its wise and clllclent secretary of the treasury, Lyman J. Gage, In their ef forts to resist silver monometallism and to give additional stability and strength to our present financial sys tem." This precipitated a warm discussion and Ralph fDunlway! moved that the committee be ordered to report by 3 o'clock, which was carried, after a vigorous fight. The Multnomah quartet and the Monmouth quartet having furnished music throughout tho convention was held together until after 3 o'clock, wheh Wallace McCamant, of Multnomah, moved that the commit tee on credentials be discharged and a new committee, named by him, and consisting of J. W. Hobbs.of McMinn vilie, and S, B. 1 akin, Eugene, (anti Mitchell Republicans), and F. J. Tay lor, of Astoria, and Robert Mays, The Dalles. (Mitchell men), bo appointed to act witli the secretary. A wild scene ensued when tho fac tional light was thus precipitated and hisses and shouts followed the motion which was ruled out of order Ralph Duniway then proposed that as 3 o'clock had passed and tho com mittee had not reported tho conven tion proceed to business without the report, allowing all present to partici pate. This was ruled out of order. For an Instant It appeared as though the factional fight would cause a wide breach in the convention, when non. C. B. Moores, of Marlon county, claimed tho attention of tho conven tion. Standing on a chair Mr Moores plead with the delegates not to bring In the factional light or Multnomah county, but let Mult nomah Republicans settle their quar rels at home. He followed Ills fervent appeal for harmony by reading the following resolution, which was adopted b tho convention with a wild and ringing cheer.
