WILL PATCH THE OREGON.
Washington, July 19.-The navy de-
partment this morning received the fol-
lowing dispatch from Captain Wilde
commander of the Oregon, dated Kure,
July 19:
Secretary Navy, Washington: Ore
Gon and Nashville arrived Kure 2
o'clock this afternoon. Expect to dock

permanent repairs it will require at

AT WAR WITH THE WORLD.
London, July 19.-1.25 p. m.-The ac-
tion of Count Won Buelow, the German
minister of foreign affais, informing
the Chinese legation at Berlin that all
telegraphic messages must be in plain
language and submitted for approval
by the censor, and the suggestion of
NJ. Delcasse. the French minister of
foreign affairs, that the expectation of
arms to China be prohibited, which are
generally regarded here as long steps
in the direction of treating China as a
state engaged in war have been sup
plemented this morning by the official
announcement from St. Petersburg
that certain portions of the Amur ter
ritory, including parts of the Khabar
ovsk district and the coast territory. as
well as the towns of Blagovestchensk,
Khabarovsk and Nikolskussuri, have
been declared in a state of war since
July II. Russia's announcement is re-
garded in London as at least fore
shadowing a speedy union recognition of
the fact that a condition of war exists
between China and the civilized world,
and the general opinion seems to favor
such recognition as the best means of
meeting the barbarian upheaval, while
at the same time endeavoring to iso-
late the independent viceroys from the
general confagration.
The revelation of the ability of the
Chinese forces in the north to stand
their. ground against the internationals
is producing the inevitable results in
the south. At Shanghai it is announced
officially that foreign women and chill
dren have been requested to leave the
ports along the river.
Serious rioting has occurred at Po
Yang Lake, near Kiu Kiang. Several
missionaries have been killed and chap
els burned. The telegraph between Kiu
Kiang and Hankow is interrupted.
In connection with the story that
Prince Tuans forces have been ordered
to march to Wei Hal Wei, it is consid-
cred as significant that Indian troops
arriving at Hong Kong have been or
dered to proceed to Wei Hal Wei.
A Shanghai dispatch also reports that
Russia has been in secret negotiation

the connivance of Lii Hung Chang

London, July 19.-Mr. VIM. waldorf
Astor has, apparently, reached the con-
clusion that he made a grave bIunder
when he publicly insulted Captain Sir
Archibald Berkley Milne. Today, Mr..
Astor publishes in his newspaper. the
Pail Mall Gazette:
I'VE desire to express regret that
paragraph which appeared in this col
umn July 2, with regard to the presence
of Sir Berkley Milne at Mr.. Astor's con-
cert the preceding Thursday evening
should have been published under
misapprehension OF the exact circum-
stances Explanations of a complete
categorical kind now show that Sir
Berkeley Mines presence was due to a
misunderstanding that entirely absolves
him from any intentional discourtesy.

New York, July ia dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from London,
says:
The Chinese invasion of the Amur
province is equivalent to a declaration
of war against Russia, which, constru-
ing it as such has handed the Chinese
envoy at st. Petersburg his passports
today and requested him to leave the
country along with the members of his
mission. The Importance of this Chi
nese declaration of war against Russia,
and of this bold invasion of Russian ter
ritory, lies in the fact. that, as the mat
ter now stands it virtually releases the
czar from his obligations to the foreign
powers to act in concert with them in
China He is placed thereby in a posi-
tion to act independently and not only
with reference to the defense of his do
minions against the Chinese invasion.
but also as regards the carrying of war
into the enemy's country and eventual
march upon Pekin. Should a Russian
army, proceeding from Siberia, reach
Pekin and capture it before the allies

A Big Mine.

i. M. Hughes and L. J. johnson, Of
North port, Wash., president and vice.
president, respectively, Of the Rossand
Consolidated Mining Co., are here this
week in the interest Of their company.
Mr.. johnson Is an old resident Of Ore
gon, having been for 4 number Of years
engaged in the newspaper business at
Tillamook. To GLOBE reporter the
other day Mr.. johnson stated that the
property 81 his company consists Of
seven claims containing in all l40 acres.
Upon each claim there Is well defined
lode OF mineral, the seven lodes aggre-
eating about 1000 feet Of ore. The loca-
tion Of the claims, Mr.. johnson says, is
peculiarly adapted 70 successful mining
operations at minimum cost, as the
lodes are all being developed by tunnels
which are located at the bottom OF a
deep gorge or canyon which cuts through
the mountains Of that region, and which
is 5000 feet deep. This gives the owners
an iUmense amount Of ore above the
tunnel level which can be extracted at
a trilling cost, as compared with hoist
ing 1t through shaft to the upper sur
face. A fine stream OF water runs
through the canyon which, il is stated,
will furnish all the electrical power that
will ever be required 70 operate the
mines. The claims are covered with a
fine growth Of timber, which is an im-
portant factor in the development and
operation Of great mine, as all the
necessary timbers and lumber can be
secured right on the ground at the mere
cost OF emitting.
The mines are located abont 8 miles
from Northport, one mile from rail-
road line and AZ miles from smelter
now in course OF construction This is
of prime importance, as the character
Of all the ore is base and requires slnelt-
ing to extract the values, and as base
lodes are considered by all mining men
to be much better propositions cooperate
than free milling ones on account Of
their greater permanency and the fact
that they almost invariably increase in
value with depth, the owners Of this
property ieel confident, Mr.. Johnson
says, that they have bonanza. Mr..
Johnson showed us specimens Of native
copper ore which, he says, assays $500
per ton; grey copper, carrying gold and
copper which ASSAYS $40 90, and silver
