fiR WOULD QUIT.
vlcerOp Alexleff Asks thee Gar to Re-
lleVe Him.

St Petersburg, April 2l.-Viceroy
Alexieff has applied by Telegraph to the
emperor to be relieved of his position
of vieeroy of the Far East, 1t is ex-
pected that the request will be imme-
diately granted. While no official an
nouncement has yet been made, there
is every reason to believe that the fore
going statement is correct. The i'm
mediate cause of the viceroy's applica-
tion is reported to be the appointment
of Vice Admiral Skrydloff, one of Ad-
miral Alexieff's strongest enemies and
sharpest critic, as successor to the late
Vice Admiral Makaroff in command Of
the Russian navy in the Far East,
The relieving from command of Vice
roy Alexieff would not surprise intelli-
gent observers Of the Far Eastern situs
alton, who are familiar with the gradu-
al change i, che eHperor's attitude to-
ward the tioeroy and M. Bezobraoff,
who represented the military advanc-
ing element, which was anxious that
Russia should remain in Manchuria.
1t was these two men that the Anglo
japanese entente first lost its friends.
They believed Great Britain would not
go to war and that Japan could not
do so. To the indignation of japan,
they succeeded in turning the policy of
the empire from carrying out the treaty
for the entire evacuation of Manchuria,
pending further demands on China.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
INDIANS ON ThR MOVE,
Rowing Portion BegIus to Leave oReser-
walton for The Summer.

Pendleton-The rowing portion Of the
Indians on the reservation or those
who wintered on the Columbia, is al
ready stirring abroad, and making in
some cases for the foothills. The sum
mering season Of the small bands Of no
mads begins early in April. There are
many Indians scat tered over the country
who do not cultivate the advantages oi
the reservation.
The more industrious and less proud
of these red men make money off WOO
at this season. With a packhorse Of
two, they wander around the the sheep
districts, and while the buck gets the
living by hunting and fishing, the
squaw pulls OF picks up wool wherever
she can find it. Bits of fleeces pulled
off wool wagons, when the latter start
running, or even wool from sheep
which have died on the range all 60 to
make up the sackfulls, which are after
ward packed to town for sale. Indians
will carry loads like this 100 or 150
miles for eight cents pound.
The migration of the reservation In
dian does not take place until May,
when hundreds of them go to the noun
tains for the summer to spend the seas
on hunting and fishing. As summer
progresses, he pushes farther and farth-
er into the hills, not to come back to
the reservation until the early SHOWS of
autumn drive him back.

euo EATS UP WHARF PILINo.
Re esembles Water Flea and Works at
Edge of Wster.

Hoquiam, Wash, April 2O.-Com-
missioner E. Davis recently went to
Westp@t and made an examination of
the Westport wharf. He finds the en-
tire piling OF the wharf practically des-
troyed by a small bug resembling a
water flea. The piling was put in
but FIVE years ago and now Is ruined
and will be replaced for safety. =
Mr.. Davis found the bug hard at
work. He cuts off the piles at low
water mark. so that 1S-inch piling is
found to be within few inches of be-
ing entirely cut off. Cedar, which
usually is proof against insects, has nc
terEor for the bug, and he cuts this
faster than fir.
If we'll driven piling is to last but
five years, it means some method must
be found to save them or an endless ex.
pense is certain. The insect is known
to scientists as the liminolae, and il
said to be very destructive to wood oi
this kind. An effort will be made tC
find a remedy for the pest.

RUSSIA IN NEED OF MONEY.
Issue Of $2OO,OOO,O 900 Five Per Cent
Bonds VIII Soon Be Made.

London, April 20,-Reports are again
in circulation here of Russia's need to
raise money. When the war broke out
the gold held abroad by the Bank of
Russia amounted to s7,500,O0O. OF
this amount $50, 900, 900 has been ex-
pended and therefore, according to
these reports, it would con be neces-
sary to have recourse to the gold held
in the treasury. According to a tele-
gram from Brussels printed this morn.
ing the outcome OF the ways and means
conference at st. Petersburg will be the
issue of 5000, 100000 in 8 per cent
treasury bonds in Paris, Brussels and
Amsterdam.
Vice Admiral Togo's report is ac-
cepted here as fully explaining the mys-
terry of the destruction of the battleship
Petropavlovsk and the newspapers pay
warm tribute to the daring and skill
displayed by the Japanese, contrasting
these with the apparent lack of fore
sight and vigilence on the part of the
Russians. War correspondents arriv-
ing at Ping Yang report that the roads
are in terrible condition, but that the
japanese troops in marching display
splendid endurance.
The Daily Mails Ping Yang cores
pondent says that the food supplies are
being pushed forth on gigantic scale.
All the preparations prove that the
Japanese are In readiness to sustain a
prolonged campaign. The cores
pondent describes the irresistible cour-
age shown by the japanese in the fight
ing at Chingju, charging recklessly up
hill in the face Of superior numbres.
The Daily Chronicles correspondent
at Shan Hal Kwan gives report that a
Japanese fleet of 26 vessels has besh
seen escorting 100 transports north of
Port Arthur.

MAY CUT OFF PORT ARTHUR.
Superiority Of Fleet dyes the japanese
an ExcelIeut Opportunity.


St. Petersburg, April 20.--St. Peters
burg is flooded with rumors from all
directions regarding the plans of the
japanese, now that the Russian fleet at
Port Arthur is unable longer to menace
their troop transports.
The Associated Press in a dispatch
from Port Arthur gave 20 as the mum.
ber Of japanese transports reported as
having been seen steaming in the direc-
tion of Yinkow, the seaport of Niu
Chwang. officials of the general staff,
while having no information in this re
spect, would not be surprised if the
number should turn out to be correct,
or even that larger number is steam
ing there.
Vice Admiral Togo's immense super
iority enables him to hold the Russian
squadron in Port Arthur and Japanese
transports, therefore, can safely pass
through the straits of Pechili and
attempt to land at the head of the Liao
Tung gulf, under the guns of the war
ships, as did General Skaters army at
Diaquiri, Cuba. Should this succeed,
the japanese Will be in an excellent
position to execute flank movement
on Lao Yang, or cut off Port Arthur.

CONDITIONS IN PORTO RICO.
Governor Hunt Reports Americs % Rep.
Idly 0airsnn Trsde.

New York, oApril 20.-Governor
Hunt, of Porto Rico, arrived here today
on the steamer Ponce from San Juan.
He will remain in the United States
about two weeks. Governor Hunt says
he had not heard of his appointment
of judge of the United States district of
Montana and Wyoming, and would say
nothing about his intention in regard
to the appointment. He will spend
considerable time Q in Washington in
connection with official duties and
eventually will return to Porto Rico at
the end of two weeks. Speaking of
conditions on the island Governor Hunt
said:
"Just at present strong effort is
being made to promote market in the
United States for Porto Rico by prepar-
ing for an extensive exhibit at Sc.
Louis. Coffee will be the feature of
the islands exhibit because fruits and
cotton will be also displayed. Ameri-
cans are planting oranges quite extern
sively. The groyes are growing we'll.
Cotton bids fair to be very profitable.
Coffee crop will be about normal this
year for the first time since the hur-
ricane, and if slightly higher price
can be had for the crop planters would
be able to relieve their estates of part
of their old mortgage debts and will be
satisfied.
at is probable that the export will
exceed the value Of iRport by a million
dollars. Trade with the United States
increases mpidly and will continue to
grow as the sugaE, fruit and cotton are
being grown

Pension Bill VIII Come Up Before the
Senate This Woek.

Washington, April 20.-There will
be an effort to keep appropriation bills
to the front all the time during the
present week in the senate, and to this
end the sundry civil bill will be taken
up first. when it is disposed Of the
pension appropriation bill will be pre-
sented, and it is hoped that the bill
will in turn be Immediately followed
by the general deficiency bill. The
senate leaders are apprehsnsive of the
effect of the consideration of various
bills on the calendar, and He exercis-
ing their ingenuity to keep them in the
background
There are some features of the sun
dry civil bill which will cause discus
sion, and it is believed it will occupy
two days. The pension bill usually
goes through without debate, but it is
probable there will be quite . little dis
cussion on the pending bill.
If opportunity is offered, Senator
Hansbrough will endeavor to obtain
consideration of the Indian agreement
bills. Senator Fairbanks also stands
ready to seize the first chance that offers
to press his bill for a new executive
building in Washington.

Victoria, B. c., April 20.-John
Cain, of Port Angeles, Wash, ad-
dressed crowded meeting here last
night on the proposed scheme to build
a railroad from the south to the north
endcof Vancouver island, connecting
with the Port Angeles line by ferry

acres per mile and $4,000 per mile, 8
per cent inscribed stock of the pro-
vince, redeemable in 40 years. The

cided to appeal to che. provincial gov
ernment to take immediate action.

GOOD WEATHER FOR SHEEP.
Eastern Oregon Wool VIII Be Of Better,
Cleaner Quality.

la Grande-The sheepmen OF Eastern
Oregon say that the late spring, which
is 80 days behind time, will have
splendid effect upon all of the Hocks of
Eastern Oregon, and the great supply
OF water now pouring down the hills on
every side will insure good pasturage
way into the summer, and yesrgings
this summer will be stronger and iatter
and bring better prices than ever before.
Lambing is now at its height, and
the increase in the fiocks promises to
be very large. Wool this year will be
of Snuch finer quality and cleaner than
last year because the sheep will not
have to run in dust SO long before
shearing time, which in this part Of
Eastern Oregon will be about May 25,
and the sheepmen throughout the coun.
try seem very jubilant.
Wool from last years crop in Eastern
Oregon has been sold in PHILADELPHIA
within the past week fcs IL cents, and
this is good indication that prices
this year will go high.

Russia Only Protecting Herself.

St. Petersburg, April 21.-The for

tion with the enemy. 1t would be pos
sible from land or sea for correspond
ents using wireless telegraphy to COM
municate with the enemy. If an ac-
tual case should arise, however, it will
be judged on its merits.

STOCK LOSSES REDUCED.
Warmer Weather Averted the Dangers
Threatening the Herds.

Pendleton-Stock reports from south.
ern Umatilla and Grant counties show
conditions much improved since the
heavy snowstorm Of two weeks ago, and
stock losses, which threatened for
short tina to materially thin out the
herds, have been to a great degree
averted. In valleys, where it was pos
sible, range stock was gotten out to
where grass could be found, while
enough feed was on hand for domestic
cattle.
In valleys where stock could not be
gotten out to better locations, cattle
and sheep went on short rations for
some time, but escaped after nominal
loss, ~ warmer weather came. Nights
were not severe after the storm, con-
dition which also greatly helped. Sew
,eral thousand head of sheep and cattle
perished, but the loss was probably not
over one or two per cent above nominal.

BIO LOSS BY FIRE,
Over $1O,O00,O0O Worth Of Property
Destroyed at Toronto.

Toronto, Ont, April 21.-Fire swept
through a section of Toronto's whole
sale business district tonight, causing
loss which will probably reach $l0,-
100000. The fire started in factory
in Wellington street about 8 O'Clock.
In less than an hour the flames had
spread from building to building on
both sides Of the street until the
whole block was a mass of flames, and
the fire was utterly beyond the control
of the local department. Appeals we're
sent to every surrounding city where
fire apparatus could be obtained asking
for assistance. MontrealS London,
Hamilton and Buffalo at once respond
ed, but it will be hours before they
can be of assistance.
1t was believed at II o'clock that the
fire was under control, but sudden
shift in the wind again famed the
flames into roar and clouds Of sparks
and burning brands were carried down
side streets until three entire blocks
were doomed. The fremen were max
ing gallant fight amid the falling
buildings and mass OF tangled wires,
but their efforts at midnight seemed to
be fruitless.
