May Cause Complications.

Action of Russian Volunteer Ships
May Cause Complications.
LONDON, July 1S--Advices from St.
Petersburg say that reports Of the Rus
sian volunteer steamships Smolensk
and st. Petersburg, now cruising in
the Red sea, stopping ships of neutral
nations and searching them for con-
traband Of war is causing the liyeliest
interest in all circles. Russia has eyi-
IDENTIFY weighed the question, believes
herself to be within her rights and nei-
Their fears nor anticipates international
complications. Indeed, some of the
powers may have been sounded by
Russia on the subject. Nevertheless
foreign opinion is awaited eagerly, and
more or less criticism is expected.
Members Of the diplomatic corps are
keenly anxious to ascertain the views
their governments will take of the pas
sage through the Dardanelles Of these
vessels of the volunteer feet as mer-
chantmen and their subsequent conVer-
sion into ships Of war.
An Alden report says that the North
German Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich,
which has arrived there from South
ampton en- route to Yokohama, reports
that she was stopped by the Russian
volunteer feet steamer Smolensk and
compelled to give UP thirty-one sacks
of letters and twenty four sacks and
boxes or PARCELS, all intended for ia
pan,
Tt is also reported that the Peninsular
and Oriental company's steamer Ma
lacea, from Antwerp for japan, has
been seized in the Red sea by the RUS
sian volunteer feet steamer Petersburg.
A Tientsin report says that the Jap
anese have landed about 10000 men
near Pigeon bay, under the protection
of their feet.
The army corps is about six miles
from the citadel of Port Arthur and al
most due west of it.
The Russians offered little resistance
to the Decentralization, only few shots
being fired by the shore batteries
A general assault on the town il ex-
pected soon.
Lieutenant General saeharof has re-
ported to ST. Petersburg that the
chasseurs are driving back the Jana-
nese advance posts southwest of Sia=
khotan and east of Kanchi.
The japanese, the general says, have
reoecupied Keehinha. They are still
fortifyingt the passes between Fen
shui and Molten.
The Japanese near Liaeyapg have
evacuated sekeEan and Yanlikan. The
country from Siaossyra up to Sibu
pass is free from japanese, but the
mass itself is occupied by a detaeb-
ment of the Japanese advance guard,

Continued from page ~
that the town will be against him. The
race between the three candidates will
be close and probably spirited but
neither candidate has any hope Of elec-
ton which is an explanation Of their
apparent inactivity at this time.
There are just as many positions on
the democratic ticket to be filled az
there will be on the republican ticket
and while many candidates have been
mentioned there are few democrats who
have announced their candidacy for
nomination. Lewiston precincts will
probably furnish a full quota of can
didates for each Office but it is not UNI
likely that should the country make a
scrap for the ofhces that they will be
allowed all the representation that is
wanted. For state senator both Lew
Clark Of Clifford and Eben Mounce Of
Lewiston are mentioned for the place
but there are some who think that the
plum will drop in the lap Of some dark
horse from the country. Lewiston will
have q chance to name at least two
Of the four representatives. 1t would
be useless to endeavor to name the
nominees from the long line of eligibles
but the following names have been sug-
gested as making good material. Clay
McNamee. F. D. Culver. D. Needhan
e. A. Cox. Geo. w. Tannahill, ]. F.
Wall, F. E. Fogg. ]. w. Poe, 8. L. Nc
Farland and a few others of Lewiston
In the country p. Theisch. ]. Schultz
p. w. Mitchell. w. J. Ramey. B. O
Winslow, T. D. Barton adm ]. H. Wanr
have all been mentioned as making
good material for the legislature.
For county attorney no one seems t.
be able to suggest who are in the race
but it is probably up to s. L. McFar-
land. Chas. Mcdonald or d. Needhan
to accept the nomination. 1t is sale
at least one Of these gentlemen wan
the position and possibly two Of then
but then it might be dealt out OF
shares anyway.
j. F. Wall of Lewiston Is an avowet
candidate for probate Judge and IL tn,
nomination does not go to the countr.
Mr.. wall VIII probably be allowed t
pay his campaign assessment. c. E

that he would accept the nomination

nish a candidate to fill the hole. II ]

suggested Fred Kroutinger, but prob
ably Fred has not as yet been consulte
and there is some likelihood of his re
fusing II offered.
For assessor and tax collector schot
superintendent coroner and commits
sioners there are no avowed candidate
but it is probable that the country pre-
cincts will furnish the quota for a
these positions with the exception {
one commissioner.

JOY IN RUSSIA.
Army Is Said to Have Assumed
the Offensive

st. Petersburg, Oct. 2O.-There is
jubilation throughout the city over the
news that General Kuropatkin has re-
sumed the offensive, and the holiday
which began with little heart closed
brighter. The crowds in the streets
and the illuminations in honor of the
czarevitch's nameday gave a tinge OF
brilliancy to an evening otherwise de-
pressing, through constant dfizzle OF
rain. Newsbcys up to midnight raced
through the thoroughfares with evening
extras, shouting "Great Russian VIC
tory" and the crowds bought the pa
pers greedily. Groups of men in bril-
liant uniforms, or in evening dress at
the hotels and restaurants, discussed
the change in the fortunes of war, but,
as whole, the population was slow to
take fire. News of the earller reverses
had been received stolidly, and the re-
ports OF Russian successes and the cap
ture OF guns were quietly accepted with
satisfaction, but with considerable re-
serve.
The emperor marked the day by ap-
pointing his youthful heir chiet of the
cadet corps, and by ukase pensioning
the survivors, widows and orphans of
the Turkish Russian war and promoting
all the retired captains of the Turkish
Russian war to the 1ank of lieutenants

WILL RESTORE LANDS.
Tracts in Oregon, Washington and
Idaho to Be Opened.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Within a
short time the sec, etary of the interior
will restore to entry additional lands
in Oregon that have been withdrawn
temporarily for forest reserve purposes.
In addition to the lands recently elimi.
mated from the Blue mountain and
WaI,owa Withdrawals, the proposed
elimintions will embrace an aggregate
of 582. $40 acres. These are lands
found not suitable for forest reserve
purposes. A large part OF the lands
soon to be restored to entry are includ-
ed in the Rogue river withdrawal in
southern Oregon.
There will be further eliminations in
Washington, making the aggregate area
restored to entry in that state 225, 900
acres. In Idaho even greater restora-
tions are to be made, aggregating l.
42O, 800 acres in all. All these elimina-
tions are made under the order of the
president who has become convinced
that Withdrawals recklessly made are
withholding from settlement large
areas of lands that might otherwise be
taken up. In all, 5,107 500 acres of
such lands are soon to be thrown open
to entry in various states.

THOUSANDS NAY BE LOST.
Emigranf Ship With 1900 People
Reported to Have Gone Down.

London, Oct 20. - The Standard
prints dispatch from Vienna in this
mornings issue, stating a rumor is
prevalent at Fiume, on the Adriati
coast, that Cunard liner with 2,2Ou
emigrants on board, which left that
city last week, has sunk off the Span
ish coast in a storm.
Considerable excitement has been
created here by the report, although it
is believed if such a calamity had oc
CURED, London or Liverpool would
have received news of it from a point
nearer the alleged scene of the disaster
than Fiume.
Telegraphic inquiry made at Liver
pool, where the Cunard line has its
british offices, ELECTED no further news
One of the officials declared he had re-
ceived no such report, and as far as he
knew, none OF bis colleagues was in
possession of more information than
was given to the world by the Stand
ard. The Standard is reliable paper

LABOR is SCARCE.
Louisiana Planters are Trying to
Secure Foreigners.

New Orleans, Oct. 21.-A great scar
city of labor exists in Louisiana, and
the effect is being felt not only on the
p antations, but also on the extensive
le zee work now in progress. Forty
nine state and district contracts outside
of the work being done by the fedora
government are under way. They
cover many miles of new levee and re-
pair work. Most of these contracts
are required to be finished by January
l, but the contractors are unable to
obtain laborers. Age nts of the con-
tractors are in the city seeking hands.
There are also representatives of
planting interests here today to meet
the incoming steamer Liguria with
over 1 500 Italian immigrants. None
of these laborers are contracted for,
and the agents of the planters have
come to make terms with them az soon
as they leave the ship. Country ne
groes continue to gravitate to the city,
and that is given as one of the causes
for the scarcity Of labor.

TRANSMITS PROTEST TO JAPAN.
America Calls Attention to Alleged
Use of Chinese ClOfhinq.

Washington, Oct. 24.-As indicated
in the Toxic dispatches, the Japanese
government, through Minister Takahiri
here, has entered a formal protest
against the use of certain bodies of
Russian troops of Chinese clothing, the
offending troops being spe~ flied in he
complaint. The state department,
having assumed the care of Japanese
interests, has transmitted the japanese
protest to Spencer Eddy, secretary OF
the American embassy at ST. Peters
burg, and charge in the absence Of
Ambassador Mccormick, for presenta-
tion to the Russian government.
1t is understood here that the Chi
nese clothing was not used by the Rus
sian troops to deceive the enemy, but
simply to make good the failure of the
Russian quaratermaster's department
to supply much needed warm clothing
upon the sudden advent of cold weather
in Manchu1ia.
