RUSSIA is READY.

600 Troops Said to He Concentrated
at viadivostock.

Tacoma, WASH, July 1.-The Nor
wegian steamer Oscar H., which ar
rived to-day, eighteen days from Via
livestock, Siberia, brings news that the
Indications are good for another Orien-
tai war. Unknown to the outside
world, Captain r. Anderson of the
steamer says, Russia has massed $4,000
men at Vladivostock. and it is believed
in Siberia that preparations are being
made for an advance on Japan.
Captain Anderson says: Russia has
been secretly, but actively at work, and
in the event Of trouble with Japan, IS
preparing to hurl a formidable navy
and land force into the coveted terri
tory which Japan has wrested from
China. These ships and troops have
been massed at Vladivostock, where the
scene is decidedly warlike.
1.-THE entrance to the harbor at Vladi-
vostock is planted full Of torpedoes, and
no vessels are allowed to pass in or out
without Russian naval officers on board,
as well as experienced Russian pilots,
who know where the torpedoes are
planted. My vessel was escorted In this
manner, both going in and coming out
of the harbor.
'Inside the harbor the entire Pacific
fleet of Russian warships Is massed,
ready to steam down the coast at mo-
ment's notice. On shore $4,000 troops
have been concentrated, and the EVIL
dence is clear that Russia is fully pre-
pared for trouble in case the japanese
give any occasion for 1t.
"The massing of these ships and
troops at Vladivostock has been done
secretly by Russia, unusual precautions
having been taken to prevent the
spread of any intelligence regarding the
actual force she has quartered there.
What Russia's designs are, cannot, OF
course, be told, and the purely conjec-
tural, but 1t is clear that il she builds
a railway line south from V1adivostock
to the Yellow sea, her intention is to
obtain an open port and hold it at all
hazards.
"The whole country looks like war.
and the situation is considerably
strained, but the peace element is hop
ing that the tension may be relieved and
matters settled without resort to
arms"
1t was intimated to Captain Anderson
before he left that the government would
be pleased IL he did not take pains to
spread his knowledge of the operations
at Vladivostock, but he hesitated little
this evening when asked to tell what he
knows, as he things the world Is en-
titled to know the facts.
The Oscar II. carried Vladivostock a
cargo of cement used in constructing
the trans-Siberian railroad. Captain
Anderson says the construction of this
road is being rapidly pushed, the Car
of Russia having given orders to finish
1t as quickly as possible. As soon as
this line is finished, he says, the Rus
sian government intend extending i
from Vladivostock southwark through
Manchuria and Corea to an open port
on the Yellow sea.

"Whereas, There appears to be large

that all is needed to bring his brother

New York, July 1.-The Tribune las
the following cable from London: Amer
lean interest in the overthrow of the
Rosebery government and the approach
Ing dissolution of Parliament, centers In
the growing agitation in favor Of bi-
metallism. The new government Is
markedly more friendly to international
action for regulating the free coinage of
gold and silver at fixed ratio, than the
old government was. Sir William Har-
court would not consider the question
even debatable one, but rejected all
proposals for effecting new interna-
tional agreement as impracticable.
The new government will include sew
eral conspicuous and outspoken bimetal-
lists. Mr.. Balfour Is one having COM
mitted himself in several speeches to
that policy, besides being a member Of
the Bimetallic league.
Lord Salisbury Is not student Of
finance, and has not committed himself
on the question, but he is not thought to
be unfriendly to revival of an attempt
to hold an international conference for
discussing the subject.
What the Bimetallic league proposes
to do is to make this issue as prominent
as possible In the general election. While
1t is not political body, 1t can exert
considerable influence by questioning
candidates in the $50 agricultural con-
stituencies, and in eighty or hundred
manufacturing districts in Lancashire
and elsewhere, In which the textile In
dustries are important.
Officers of the league state they will
take an active part in tho elections in
this way-through branch committees
and correspondents. They will force as
many candidates as possible to declare
their Intentions and opinions respecting
bimetallism, and believe the answers,
when published, will influence thous-
ands of voters.
The Bimetallic league has a very in
fluential membership, including many
members of the present parliament. The
memorial which 1t addressed to the
chancellor of the exchequer was accom-
panied by the names of sixty members
Of the House of Commons sixty bank
ers, seventy-eight merchants and manu-
facturers, forty-two land owners and
fifteen labor organizations.

No Conviction Allowed.

Portland, Ore, July lin the United
States court to-day Judge Bellinger or
dered the jury to bring verdict Of not
guilty in the case of Bere Davenport,
on trial for counterfeiting. Charles
French testified that he had been en-
ployed by Special Treasury Agent N.
e. Harris to INDUCE Davenport into
making counterfeit silver dollars.
Judge Bellinger said: eff this Is the
kind of testimony there is against Da-
venpolt, shall not let the case go to
the Jury. 1t shows that he was solicit
ed to make counterfeits by an agent of
the government. Nobody is going to
be convicted in a court where Justice
Is administered on such testimony"

Is intended to be their most effective

knowledge for three years, during which
time the Cubans collected over $3,OOO,.
ting nearly $5OOOOO a month now.
"Fllibustering expeditions cannot be

with the tug George w. Childs, might

whenever they want. They are receiv-
