The jackson Expedition Has Sailed
From n Russian Port.
ARcHANGEL, Russia, August 6.-The
steamer Windward, having on board the
jackson polar expedition, sailed hence
this afternoon for Harbourova or Juger-
skischar, as circumstances should deter
mine. The expedition procured stores,
furs and a number of Russian ponies.
At Harbourova or Jugerskischar few
Samoyedis will be added to the crew,
and the steamer will then proceed to the
southern shore of Franz Josef land.
The place of landing in Franz Josef land
can only be determined when the ice
conditions are known. All the members
of the party are in good health and
spirits, and are confident of success in
their undertaking. The departure of
the expedition was made the scene of
remarkable degree of enthusiasm. The
city was everywhere decorated with flags.
The government and city officials and
other notables went on board the Wind
ward, and went considerable distance
down the harbor. When they left the
steamer many happy wishes followed
the voyagers, who responded with
cheers.

UNION NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Its Members Did Not Destroy Railroad
Property In Chicago.

CHICAGO, August 7.-During the past
week committee OF the American Rail-
way Union held several consultations
with Mayor Hopkins. To-day +. w.
Burns, a director of that organization
and the head of the committee, ad-
mitted that the purpose of the commit
tees visit was to furnish the authorities
with information touching the damage
claims of the railway companies. The
union men say they expect to prove in
many instances that the destruction of
property for which damages are claimed
was done by men employed by the rail
roads and the General Managers AS
sociation. They claim to be able to
prove that the men arrested last Friday,
charged with leading the riot and burn
ing cars on the Rock Island tracks July
D, were at that time in the employ OF the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois road, They
also claim to have other similar cases,
Their object is to show that the union is
not responsible for the riots and destruc-
ton OF property.

decided to declare the strike off in Chi
cago. This does not include the Chicago

to continue the strike to settle local
grievances, and where they think they
have a fair show OF winning. There
were twenty-four local unions repre-
sented at the meeting this afternoon,
and each representative had been en-
powered to vote to declare the strike off.
The meeting was secret one, and at
adjournment the only statement given
out was the following:
By vote of the local unions OF the
american halfway Union IN OnlCdgO
they have decided that the strike shall
be declared off in the city of Chicago,
with the exception of local unions on the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois and the
Atchison and Topeka, where the strike
still remains in full force and effect.
This is effective at 7 o'clock Monday
morning, August 6. The decision does
not apply to the systems outside of Chi
cago, and the Pullman employees will be
expected to settle their own differences
Resolutions explaining the reasons fol
calling off the strike were adopted. The
example set by the Chicago unions will
be followed Immediately by the unions
throughout the western country, and by
Wednesday night at the latest the
strike will be declared off all over the

TO IMPROVE RIVERS.
Agreement Reached by River and Harbor
Conferrees.

WAsurNGToN, August 2.-Dolph has
had rather hard struggle, but he has
pulled out OF the conference committee
with all the Oregon appropriations in
the river and harbor bill. Practically an
agreement to that effect has been
reached, and the agreement will prob
ably be reported tomorrow. The amount
for boat railway at The Dalles has
been reduced to Sl00, 900, but Dolph saws
that will be sufficient to acquire the right
OF way and begin the work. The main
thing is to have it started. The other
appropriations for Oregon remain undis.
turbed. Washington is also fortunate.
Every increase made by the Senate re-
mains in the bill, as also does the pro-
vision made for the Lakes Union and
Washington waterway. The Oregon and
Washington delegations are feeling very
iubilant. Oregon has s400, 900 increase,
nearly double the amount in the House
bill, with the entire amount for the
completion of the work at the mouth of
the Columbia, Dolph says boats will he

not to guide japanese vessels or to give
them any information as to the waters
o.the coast. A copy OF japanese 'dlc'
issued since the declaration has been re-
ceiyed bv the Central News correspond

tborities will be held responsible tor the
lives and property of the Chinese SUD-

THE WEAKNESS OF CHINA.
LONDON, August S.-Captain Lang, a
former director in the Chinese navy anu
supervisor OF the building OF many 1orts'
said in an interview to-day: The Ehl-
nese are well trained and excellent
marksmen. China's navy is about equal
to Japan's. The japanese have more
dash and spirit than the Chinese have,
but all depends on how the Chinese are
led. Ii they have confidence in their
leaders, they will face anything without
fear of death. If Admiral Ting led them,
thew would prove themselves splendid
forces. Some of the Chinese officers,
particularly those trained in America,
are bright examples OF everything that
they should be. The lack OF spirit Is a
great drawback to the Chinese troops
Regarding the Chinese forts. they are
well to the fore. Wei-Hai-Wei are i'm
impregnable, and no japanese will dare
to approach. Captain Lang said that
his opinions were based upon the condi-
ton of things in 1890, when he left
China. He feared that discipline had
become lax since the European influence
was withdrawn. >.
"There is now," he said, "no high
European officials in the navy, although
there are one or two English officers al
Wei-Hai-Wei. If the powers allow,
| war, an outrage, Japan lbuoV ONOhOu'''i'
be utterly crushed"
JAPAN's NEW MINISTER.
WASHINGTON, August S.-Informatior
received at the Japanese legation is tina
NJ. Sinichiro Murine, the new Ministe
to this country, will leave Japan to-da,
for his new post of duty. He is expected
here the latter part of the month. Th
legation has not yet had communica
ton from Valentine Nowacki, the leade
of the foreign forces Of the Pennsylvania
coke strikers, who proposed to offer t.
raise 5000 soldiers for use in the wa
against China. 1t is pretty safe to sa.
that, while Nowacki's offer will be dul,
appreciated, yet it would be promptl
declined. The Japanese army has beel
brought up to very high standard @
efficiency, modelled very much after tn
tactics in vogue in Germany, and if tn
former government sought the assistanc
OF foreign troops, which is not regarde
as probable, it is likely that efforts wi
be made to obtain them from Germany

stroying the back porches, kitchens and

SUSPICIOUS OF ENGLAND,

LONDON, August tS.-The Russian news
papers are abandoning the idea of an
amicable understanding between Eng
land and Russia with respect to Corea,
and are publishing anti-English articles.
Especially suspicious Of England is the
Novoe Vremya, which declares that Eng
land is secretly supporting China, and
that Japan will soon find this out. The
London Daily News remarks that this
language is noteworthy, inasmuch as
the statements made would not be per-
mitted to pass the censorship if the Rus
sian government objected to them.

ENGLAND's STAND.
She VIII Not Attempt 10 Define What
10 Contraband of War.

LONDON, August I'm the House of
Commons to-day Sir Edwin Gray in
reply to question from Mr.. Gourley, a
prominent ship owner, said that Japan
had promised that no warlke operations
should be undertaken against Shanghai
and its approaches on the condition that
China does not obstruct the approaches
TO Shanghai. Japan contends that the
powers have no right to interfere with
neutral vessels except in the event of a
blockade, due notice of which should be
given, or in case of carrying of contra
band OF war. 1t would be dangerous for
Great Britain to define by general
statement what is not contraband of
war. Coal has been held not to be con-
traband of war AZ rule, but it was
possible in some cases that it might be-
come 30. Great Britain must adhere to
the doctrine that it is not for fighters to
decide what is and what is not contra
band of war regardless of the wellestab-
lished rights of neutral people.

Upon Their Admission.
WAsHNoToN, August with the
session Of Congress drawing to close
and all attention likely to be concen-
trated upon the tariff bill, it is not con-
sidered probable the Senate will act upon
either the Arizona or New Mexico state
bills before the final adjournment. This
was the understanding when the bills
were reported from the Committee on
Territories. The date OF admission in
the case OF Arizona and the constitu-
tional convention in the case of New
Mexico have been so deferred in the
Senate bills that no change will be nee
essary in case of postponement. The
provision in the Arizona bill is for adj
mission August l, 1896, while the con-
vention in New Mexico il not to meet
until July |, 1895, Governor Hughes is
of the opinion the bill will have to be
changed to provide for new constitu-
tion before II can pass the Senate. This
opinion he bases upon the opposition
he finds TO exist in the Senate to the
constitution adopted in 1891 on account
of the irrigation and silver payment

THE DEAD OF NOTE.
Patti Rosa, the well-Known soubrette,
is Gone.

BosToN, August 6.-Patti Rosa, the
well-known soubrette, died to-day. She
was the wife OF John w. Dunno. Patti
Rosa had intended to leave for Newport
the last of the week to spend several
weeks before entering on an extensive
tour which had been mapped out for
her. Not being in good health, how
ever, she decided to undergo medical
examination, and Monday last it was
found that she was suffering from a
severe form OF appendicitis. She was
operated on at st. Francis hospital
Tuesday, from the effects OF which she
died to-day.
Patti Rosa was one OF the best-known
condolences. She was of English par
entage and birth, and came to this coun-
try when quite young. Her first Pacific
Coast success was made about twenty
years ago, when with her husband, Rob-
ert Scott, she appeared in comedy
sketches at the Bella Union theater, San
Francisco. She subsequently secured a
divorce from Scott, and shortly afterward
married John w. Dunno, stock actor,
Rhu llo sIlt SldTT6u
for many years. By some competent
critics she was pronounced Lotta's only
rival and legitimate successor, her art
being in the same vein as that which
brought fame and fortune to "the Cali
iornia Diamond. The deceased actress
made her last appearance in Portland,
Or, last March, when she presented
Dolly Warden " and a couple of other
comedies specially written for her. She
was q strong favorite OF the Portland
members of the B. p. o. E., who once
presented her with handsome gold
badge as mark OF appreciation of the
clever way in which she presided at one
OF their social sessions. Her home was
in Chicago, and she was reputed to be
quite wealthy
