Yokohama, Oct. 9.-According to in
formation reaching here the Russian
minister at Peking, M. Lessar, has in
for ned the Chinese foreign office that
Russia will never evacuate Manchuria
unless the latest demands are granted.
china, it is added, has appealed to the
Jananese minister, M. Uchida, for Jap

Washington, Oct. 9.-The state de-
nartment has not received direct confir-
nation of the Associated Press infor-
nation from Yokohama, but officials
here cay they would not be surprised to
receive such confirmation at any time
from Minister Conger. They say they
are fully prepared to believe the news
that Russia has served notice on China
that she will not evacuate Manchuria
until her latest demands are granted.
Exactly what these demands are no off,
cial of the state department. is prepared
TO say, but the belief is strong that
they are practically the same as those
reported by the Associated Press from
Picking last spring and disavowed by
the Russian foreign Office.
1t was said during the evening on the
highest authority that this government
had reason ito believe that Russia was
insisting on the very demands which
Count Lamsdorf assured Ambassador
Mccormick had never been presented
and which Count Cassini, tbs Russian
ambassador, told Secretary Hay were
merely presented as basis of negotia-
tons. 1t was stated by the same au-
thority that this government will not
feel called upon to enter protest against
Russia's action so long as our CONNER
cial treaty is observed and the two
ports in Manchuria promised by Russia
remain open to the worlds commerce.

Reds for Jurymen.

Everett, Oct. 10.-The county COM
missioners have made arrangements to
convert an unused portion of the second
story of the courthouse into sleeping
apartments for jurymen during trials.
Beds and other necessary furniture will
be purchased as soon as the rooms are

lodging the jury in the Buchanan case
alone would have been sufficient to fur
nish sleeping apartments in the court
house.

Father Grant leads In the crusade.
His youth, his determination and his
high standing fit him for the task. He
already has caused to be arrested sa-

Father Grant deals only with the
lawbreakers. With those who observe
the law he has no quarrel. But the
painted street walker must go and the
barkeeper who sells beer to children Of
tender years, especially to girls, who
are hardly able to stagger along with
d pint measure, must quit his democrat
izing business.

OWNS HIS GUILT.
Ono of the Oregon Train Robbers
Captured in Washington.

Captured In washington.
Seattle, Oct. 12.-Charles Hohen,
aged IL years. who was raised at Equal
ity colony. in Skagit county, two miles
north of Dow, was brought to this city
last night by Captain Nevins, superin-
tendent of the Pinkerton agency at
Portland, and Sheriff W. A. Storey, of
Multnomah county. whose prisoner he
is, on the charge of being one of the
men who held up and attempted to rob
the Oregon Railroad and Navigation
overland train east of Portland on the
night of Sept. %.
Hoehn was arrested Wednesday by
direction of Capt. Nevins, while at
work in single mill at the colony,
after having worked alongside of one
of the Nevins detectives since the Sat-
urday previous to his arrest.
Since being taken into custody he
has been confined in the county Jail at
Mount Vernon, but nothing of the ar
rest has been allowed to become public
in the hope that Jim, alias Jesse,
James, who claims to be nephew of
the notorious outlaws of that name,
and who is known to be member OF
the Oregon train robber gang, or. Allen
Miner, another member, would show up
at Equality and join Hohen. However,
they did not arrive, and Hoehn was
brought here last night and taken to
Portland by the officers at $50 o'clock.
Hot on the Trail.
James is believed to be somewhere
in this part of the Northwest, and
Pinkerton detectives are said to be hot
on his trail. Sheriff Storey has been
in this part of the state for the past ten
days, and at one time was only "a
hours behind his man, who managed to
escape. Another known member of the
gang is Gay Harshman, who was shot
by Express Messenger Korner at the
time of the attempted holdup. He is
lying at Poi tland hospital with a load
of buckshot in his head, and it is part
ly due to the information he has given
the officers that Hoehn was captured.
Hoehn has made a confession of his
part in the attempted robbery.

Approaches.

New York, Oct. 0.-Torrential rain,
commencing early yesterday morning

manufacturing towns many factories
were closed owing to the flooding of en-
CINE rooms. In many places electric

for the same reason. A dam on the
Ramaho river at Pompton broke, flood
ing the valley for ten miles, but caus-
ing no loss of life.
Paterson was one of the worst suffer-
ers, and for a time during the afternoon
there was grave danger of repetition
of the terrible disaster of last February.
